All the people who are like 'participating in politics does nothing!' like politicians make me mad with rage too with their spineless bullshit and hypocrisy and the rest, and no, they never do near enough and that's very frustrating, and many of them are greedy fucks who would betray us over their own interests in a heartbeat, but it's still a very bad sign to go 'don't vote it's useless' because the revolution isn't going to happen if you can't even participate in the democratic process in your own country and that nihilistic attitude does nothing but hand your country (general you, this goes for all of us) over to fascists, and it's very hypocritical to act like there hasn't been a lot of progress with anti-racism, pro-women, pro-lgbt (among others!!) legislation that was passed in the last 100 years, and that was all due to pressuring the right politicians into it. You don't have to like the politicians, they're not your friends, you just have to pressure them into doing what you want. So, yes, pressuring the right politicians leftwards and keeping them in power is how we've had a lot of very important legislation passed! So, participate in politics, it's literally the least you can do (of course, please do more).

#the right shows up to vote every single fucking time they aren't divided by petty issues like we are #they have a single minded goal #and they organize and they get it done #the left meanwhile can't even put aside their differences for even one second #like in my own country i have issues eith every leftist party for one reason or other #i like podemos more except for their neoliberal bullshit when it comes to women's rights #and psoe is a bit more like traditional feminism which is good but for the rest they're so establishment they hurt #and they've had their major share of fuck ups #but I've gone every single time because it's literally five minute of my time #yes politicians should always do better #but they'll never be perfect politics and international diplomacy is too complicated a business not to fuck it up #but I'd still rather the people who are currently working in Spain to pass the Nordic model to expand lgbt rights who've expanded maternity #leave etc #I'd still rather they be in power than the party who denies violence against women is real and wants to forbid it to talk about lgbt ppl #in schools and wants to start chiping over at our right to marriage #and I don't care how assimilationist or neoliberal that right to a patriarchal construct is i deserve it #call me when you get rid of all marriage #oh i forgot a higher minimum wage among the reforma

in impel down iva injected luffy with healing hormones to combat magellan’s poison so he’s been screaming in pain and suffering for the last 10 hours. all i can think about is how in the one piece timeline kuma took away his pain maybe not even a week ago on thriller bark, and so then i wonder how much worse luffy’s suffering would be if that hadn’t happened, if it would be ten fold, or compounded into something where he wouldn’t even be able to scream.

and while i’m thinking about all of that all luffy can think about is his big brother, calling out for ace because that’s who all of this is for

#not calling out in the ‘come help me’ sense #luffy would never have had a reason to go to impel down had it not been for ace #luffy set into impel down with a single end goal in mind and now he’s forced to writhe around with it #and currently can do nothing for him #i don’t know if it’s worse to know ace dies or to not #because on the one hand it’s a huge shock but on the other it’s something you can (pretend to) brace yourself for #it’s barreling down the tracks and knowing there is something painful coming on the horizon and the brakes don’t work #ughhhh this will suck #i’m going to bed #kate watches op #impel down

Konoha: Wow, it’s so great our double agent within the Uchiha Clan has the selfless Will of Fire, completely cancelling out the possibility for trauma, repressed emotion and deep love to trigger the Curse of Hatred and cause them to sacrifice the many for the few they care about. We can relax and leave it all to him :)

Itachi, trapped on a burning clifftop, wrapping Sasuke in duct tape in preparation to throw him over the edge: ~ I will kill our friends and family to remind ☽ you ☺ of ♬ my ☮ love ☠ ~

#itachi uchiha #naruto meta #i'm not 100% if in either itachi shinden or the manga/anime itachi ever actually talks of the will of fire himself #and technically its a philosophy vs the curse of hatred being part philosophy part kinda genetic environmental mix #but boy oh boy does the general uchiha clan's self interest of not being spied on scapegoats pale against itachi's m.o #its not even exclusively a sasuke thing he drowns a young shinobi who tried to kill kisame for 2 days in tsukuyomi #even though he planned to stab him straight after #and he tortures shisui's killer and everyone who accused him of killing him himself #and basically locks izumi in a snowglobe with just illusionary people and him for 70 years #like will of fire or no it feels like his mindset is right up there with madara-obito-sasuke #its just that part of his single minded love happens to be konoha-directed #like he doesn't have asura's philosophy he has indra's #itachi's goal is peace but his tool is almost exclusively power and fear #with love being something he keeps very private #the ninja world will play nice if he has to hold it at knife-point #not anti itachi he is a mess it's great #he's so bad at being good but could have become so so much worse #like danzou is pretty heavily implied to have chosen itachi to kill his clan the day he graduated so his whole life in konoha\#is just slowly being steered to a slaughter

Can I talk about the whole Reynie is a villain thing for a second because your Reynie in the snow story has been living in my brain RENT FREE since I read it and it WILL NOT LEAVE and can you just imagine building off of that to make him into a villain? (idk if you saw my comments or not on @nobodysdaydreams post but yeah)

Oh, absolutely. Go for it, friend!

I have a couple of ideas running around too (Several of them thanks to you!), but I'm super excited to hear your thoughts :D

#My brain has just decided to be goo at the moment #But I promise I'm working on a post about that stuff #Also #AFHJKHFSSAB #YOU LIKED MY STORY??????#THANK YOU??????#You're so amazing Kaslyn #And I can definitely see Reynie as a more 'well meaning' villain #He isn't TRYING to hurt people or scare them #But he's so single-minded in his goal to 'help' his family and prove himself #That he doesn't care about collateral damage #As I said #Working on a post about such things #But please by all means go nuts you have amazing ideas Kas <3 #And I believe I did see most of your comments on Bods' post and they were fantastic #the mysterious benedict society #mbs #reynie muldoon #Asks

these people are genuinely not okay in the head

#like…… huh #they’re walking their dog… do you really think they’re aware that someone is in a car waiting to take their picture….#a fan mind you like… 😭😭😭#imagine having to move the goal post like this every single time you’re reminded he’s happy and living a normal life like gjgngjgnfkfjfjfj #just MOVE ON #you don’t like him

#i currently cannot read or watch anything romantic without physically aching #it's actually awful #i'm kind of sick of it tbh #like.... i know i'm not ready for a relationship right now and i do want to be single to pursue my goals #but also i have to stay away from any sort of media containing romance #and most importantly the very soft kind that has gentle caresses and forehead kisses and warm embraces #it makes me want to vomit #and i feel like if i don't get it soon then i'll perish. absolutely waste away.#oh the horrifying ordeal of craving love and affection #the absolute ache to be held gently.... to be cradled in someone's arms #it's all too much... i have to leave.#also every time i consume something romantic it just makes me think about [redacted]#because yes certain people are still very much on my mind and it's absolutely wretched #anyway. my apologies to anyone who read all these tags.#but also thank you for being here

going 2 get wayyy too personal in the tags have fun if u decide 2 read 👍

#mourning the life i could have lived tonight besties 👍 what if everything had been different #like realistically it isn’t possible . I couldn’t have changed things even if I tried #but what if i didn’t have so many mental illnesses and what if I hadn’t moved here and what if I hadn’t kept dropping out of college #and what if i wasn’t sick #and i hate that term bc sick sounds like something that will get better but I think whatever is up with my body is probably forever #what if I wasn’t me <3 what then . maybe things would’ve been better #it isn’t Possible and it’s not worth thinking about but . so many things could have been different and better #im trying to be grateful for what I have and rmr how lucky I am but like #at the end of the day I’m a girl stuck in bed because everything hurts so bad #no real life goals just a shitty job that I have to go back to in the morning that will keep making my body worse #and ive pushed so many people out of my life for stupid reasons and what if i do it again and have no one left .#god .#okay focusing my mind on a single image now (nostalgia is a liar ex friends are bitches etc) im being NORMAL.#probably going to delete this immediately but who can say 👍 going to rot in bed some more I guess

“The Pain of Kaine,” Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 1/1963), #609.

Writer: Marc Guggenheim; Pencilers: Marco Checchetto and Luke Ross; Inkers: Marco Checchetto and Rick Magyar; Colorist: Fabio D’Auria; Letterer: Joe Caramagna

#Marvel #Marvel comics #Marvel 616 #Amazing Spider-Man #Amazing Spider-Man vol. 1 #Amazing Spider-Man 1963 #Kaine #Kaine Parker #Spider-Man #Peter Parker #first off what a power move by Mr. Guggenheim to A) use Slott’s name as a curse and B) to actually quit after the next issue #Secondly I am aware that sarcasm is Peter’s whole schtick but I gotta say…#I’m pretty sure that at this point Peter definitely could have lived with never seeing Kaine again #as sort of sad as that is their first meeting did end with Kaine flinging Peter around and giving him a concussion #it’s not like they were ever particularly close and Kaine showed up during a pretty…stressful time in Pete’s life to put it simply hahaha #finally I didn’t think of this before but it’s interesting to read this arc as…pretty much the first time Kaine’s operating for his own end #Before his life was pretty much consumed with either tormenting Ben or protecting Peter #so it’s incredibly interesting growth for Kaine to be putting his single-minded determination and flexible ethics towards actually LIVING #and living for himself too as opposed to just barely staving off death so he can accomplish a goal centered around someone else

whenever I feel kind of subtly frustrated, stagnant, and unhappy - generally upon closer inspection, I find it’s because I’ve been focusing outwardly too much. watching tv shows, using social media more, trying to keep up with a community from afar or lurking on forums or something, replying to messages, etc. etc. ... at some point it’s just like, I absolutely must disengage with the outside world, I need to write, or pace back and forth talking to myself about worldbuilding concepts I’m working on, or edit a video, or just like... do anything that actually feels moderately productive in working towards my goals or developing the things I actually care about. A lot of stuff that brings other people comfort (socialization, community, engaging with media) seems to just stress me out if they’re not constantly broken up by long periods of time to myself to focus on my weird little hobbies lol.. I don’t always realize this at first but sometimes it just hits me like ‘OH, I feel terrible lately because I’ve been primarily focused on The External for the past two days, time to Withdraw’ gghjjb

#I've been watching an actual popular tv show for once (spurred entirely by my dive into that website that lists characters mbti #and enneagram and etc. and having some superficial similarities to the main caracter of the show thus wanting to see if I actually relate to #them at all (btw NO .. like usual.. i want like everyone to explode ghjghh... why can characters never communicate properly #and always Are Fool .. i KNOW this is because literallly like.. plot = conflict .. conflict = drama. etc. so to drive the plot forward #people have to make 'imperfect; or 'irrational' decisions but.. HHH.. I am SO SO far on the side of the personality spectrum that is overly #rational and analytical and literally a Natural Problem Solver to the point that it can get unbearable/it is impossible for me to suspend my #dibeleif and not just be going 'OH MY GOD CONFLIT RESOLUTION SKILLS HELLO??? what are you all FIVE??' at the screen #during every tv show I ever watch ghbhj) ANYWAY)#so I've been watching An Actual Show during my lunch and breakfast 'media time' (which usually I just watch youtube videos #like lefitst political essays or gameplay videos or educational stuff or something.) ON top of that I've replied to TWO people #I was also engaged in a short interaction on a forum from a game I play. I also recently posted a question to a reddit #group. I was going through my friends' facebook pages to see how many of them are still active on the site at all. AND i had to submit #something to a site to contact their customer service. and send an email to my doctor.#the past few days I've just had SO many outside distractions and things that are not literally just me minding my own business #thinknig about elves or something it's like.. AAAA..#I just get the ever increasing feeling that every single day is a waste of time. If all I did in a day is socialize and watch tv then that's #a terrible day that didn't work towards any of my broader life goals or anything that I care about at all whatsoever.#if i have three days like that in a row then I feel like I'm growing so detached from my purpose and am calustrophobic #like the outside world is taking over everything and all my time is being completely wasted #working on my own projects in my own little bubble is the only thing that genuinely seems satisfying and engaging #ALSO as a sidenote it's just very funny to me how my brain works like.. I do not care about media and generally do not enjoy watching #shows or care at all about characters. BUT if you relate media to one of my main fixations at the moment (MBTI - enneagram - etc.) now #all of a sudden it's like 'yes lets watch shows and look up characters so I can relate them back to my own analysis of this personality #typing system' or etc. etc. Like no I cannot watch media just to enjoy it BUT if you turn media into something that can #be systematically analyzed and broken apart like a puzzle in my brain OKAY now I'm fine with it. I think this is also why I like watching #media analysis essays and stuff more than I enjoy watching actual media itself. Engaging with media critically and analytically #is one of the only things that can make it fun for me. Otherwise it's not engaging and I could care less. But this also adds to just...#I am SUCH a stereotypically 'boring' person ghgh.. If you want me to watch a tv show or movie you MUST make an argument for it #being being strongly relevant to one of my hyperspecific boring interests or else I simply will never care enough ghjghj #ANYWAY. the sheer fundamental NEED to pace back and forth talking about elves.. like it's a primary bodily function I can't go long without

literally anytime im like ‘how is discacc so popular, im just putting stuff from my brain on the doc’ and then i write 3k words in one go of some frankly Intense shit and im just left there like ‘holy Fucking shit’ as i was simply a conduit for something. More.

and im just like. Ah. okay. i kinda get it, actually

#speculation nation #discacc shit #like Y'ALL. MAYBE IM GOOD AT WRITING.#ive seen posts around that's like 'oh man describing specific ways people move is so hard' and like kinda yea #but also. idk. i dont struggle with it usually #honestly im a little amazed by how accurately i captured what i had in mind for this fight #the speed. the Urgency. the desperation turned to panic.#it was a mock fight but with a terror so Real. bc holy Fucking shit lmfao #there's just one part that's a pretty weird movement that i need to workshop. but everything else im pretty satisfied with #of course gonna workshop those too to make it better and better. smth that's good to start with can become Amazing with work #i think the key to capturing movement is to not worry too much about the intricacies of it #you just have to fill in the most important parts. people will intuitively fill in the rest.#but i think that's a pretty good rule for writing in general #in a medium where Every word is measured. you just cant include every single detail.#so the goal as a writer isn't to capture everything 100% accurately to what you have in mind #but rather to capture the Spirit of it. using diction and word shapes and paragraphs to literally shape the way people perceive it #so a detailed fight getting more disjointed in narration the further on it gets. capturing the way things devolve into single-minded focus #im. really happy with this scene y'all lol #i cant wait to show it to u guys. AND I WONT HAVE TO WAIT LONG.......#i should go to sleep soon. if i go to bed soon i may be able to write a bit b4 work. hmmm

Some of the Yu apologist arguments in the tag really make me wonder.

#like the shifting goal posts and the inability to see that the party reacted to the manipulative incitements Yu purposefully made #it’s the same thing as when they went to Fearne about Chetney offering to kill her parents #they wanted a reaction because they can use a reaction to further manipulate #my dude when you watched Midsommar did you believe the boyfriend ‘deserved’ what he got?#because if you did you might just be the kind of person easily manipulated into joining a cult #like if you like Yu for being a funky little tricksy bastard that isn’t a problem #they’re an incredible villain #but make no mistake they are a villain #they are not a good person #and them being a villain doesn’t automatically make Birdie a hero or protagonist #the two are not mutually exclusive - it’s not either or #But birdie - while clearly dealing with problematic people and having some complicated issues in her relationship to Fearne - has one thing #she’s not at this point acting like a manipulator #the time may come when that shifts subtly #but she seems to be open caring and willing to let other people make up their own mind without lashing out or retaliation #she does show a single-mindedness that has probably created unhealthy characteristics in her relationship with her daughter (abandonment)#but that doesn’t excuse Yu and their clearly dangerous manipulations that have and will threaten lives #that’s their actual fucking job #whereas birdie seems to be mostly singleminded to the point of not realizing the impact on her daughter because it’s done out of love #fuckin sucks bro but it can be fixed with intentional work to repair the relationship #but clearly positioned in the narrative as ‘complicated’ and not ‘villain’#I just wish purity culture Tumblr would realize that you can like a funky little villain for being a fucked up and horrible person #it doesn’t mean you’re a fucked up and horrible person for liking it #it means you can recognize good and meaty writing/acting #and that you like the drama of it all #that isn’t a bad thing and doesn’t make you a bad person or mean you’re doing something wrong #it’s all 100% fake made up and not real - it’s literally playing pretend - none of this *actually* impacted real life people #you are free to love a horrible dark traid manipulative assassin who hits on EVERYBODY #and in fact I encourage you to love a villain!#as ye Olde Tumblr wine Aunt there’s a reason paradise lost is about satan and not Jesus bro

anyways. sillay animatic!!!

#my post #im just gonna keep calling it the sillay animatic and then when it comes time 2 post ill have no clue what 2 call it....#smiles #anyways this is chip and jay #tgere was no reason for him to push her out of the way i just thought itd be funny #also i keep hashtag struggling writing jay bcus in early eps she doesnt talk as much as the others. shes kinda nervous. more focused on the #goal. shes observant (11 perception lets gooo) and she tries to get things done but shes so nervous all the time #like you can tell shes pretty competent but she opens her mouth and is tripping over ever single word #but shes also willing to go along with the bit. she thinks lying to gill is funny. she didnt mention the sea lemurs being dangerous bcus sh #wanted to see one up close #yknow i changed my mind shes not focused on a goal jay is just capable of focusing on only 1 thing at a time #which gives her a leg up over gill and chip (can focus on nothing)#and like if you try to bring up a sceond thing she simply does not acknowledge this or moves on from it #which i think is where part of her. like. you know how she is when people are struggling #'that sounds like a you problem' translation: 'why are you bringing up your problem? were gonna talk to gill now. urs has nothing to do wit #this'#but yeah im struggling to write dialogue for her #i love her nervous laugh though its so wonderful

I’d rather dig my own grave and bury myself in it alive than work a real job #like. fuckkkkkk I want to cry. fuck retail fuck fuck fuck I’m a failure wahhhhhhh I cant even handle beginner jobs #rattling the bars of my cage screaming crying throwing up why am I alive waahhhhhh okay nvm that’s too far it’s not that bad I’m chilling #the toilet is clean! look at the bright side. my therapist when I talked about like my mom maybe wanting to set a goal for working like a #certain amount of doordash hours and my therapists number she came up with was three hours and I was so happy like. she gets it. I am #exhausted just existing and she was like hmm you should work three hours a week. like. at most.#love her so much. it was probably a mistake but also. keeping it in my brain forever #imagine a three hour work week being backed up by my therapist to my mom like haha my therapist said I only HAVE to do three hours #god three hours still feels like a lot rn #like two weeks ago I dropped a salad in a tight packed restaurant and everyone watched me drop it and then walk back to the kitchen and wait #for them to make a salad so I could leave and fucking deliver the food and it was so embarassing and I haven’t done a single order since #then bc I get so anxious that I just exit the app if I don’t get an order like immediately which I haven’t yet so no orders.#I just get high. too high. and admire my cleaning work. it’s nice. I have to do the bathroom floor still. dog hair. dust. brother beard hair #my hair and bleach specks. I need to clean the bathroom fr. I’m excited I’m redecorating the bathroom in my mind and it’s giving me #motivation to clean it and I want to work more dooordash shifts (when I’m not this high) to save moneys to update my room and the bathroom #a little before the summer. just. replace air matress bc it’s low key a trigger now. so that’s fun. so buy a futon or smthing. and update #the bathroom into a thing that I like in my extra Milo type way. while making room for three ppl to share one bathroom. bc. it’s small #small bathroom for sure. but I’ll get it lookin good. add some cute decorations. maybe a candle or two. an incense thing for when I tak bath #slay. slay. building my dream bathroom in my mind and also. my Amazon wishlist land. and Pinterest land. I love making lists of things.
