if tumblr existed in 1984 (the year not the universe of the novel by the same name) you guys would genuinely be telling people not to vote bc walter mondale would be Just As Bad as ronald reagan. you guys would be saying that being anti ronald reagan instead of anti the whole system is liberal nonsense

Kohane’s kindness on full display here since she was intending to give it back to Watanuki as a Just In Case, even though like. The Most Useful Time for Watanuki to have that balloon has already passed. And it was excellent as a narrative swerve. 

I think if there’s another Big Moment for Watanuki it will probably take more than luck to keep him around. (But maybe an Egg will help????)

(Also I wonder if that means she knows that Something Is Still Coming Up for Watanuki)

Either way probably more immediately useful for Kohane's mother, who will probably need the good luck in coming back from the depths of where she ended up. It’s almost sad that Kohane never actually considers using it for herself, but on the other hand I suppose her life has already improved drastically from where it once was, so maybe she feels like she doesn’t actually need it. 

But that aside I’m LIVING for the look Doumeki gives Watanuki at the end there. Especially because Self Preservation has NOT been Watanuki’s strong point, ever, and Doumeki is very much dedicated to changing that. He would probably wrap Watanuki entirely in balloons if he could. 

We know what Watanuki means by that but oh that would be setting off alarm bells for Doumeki. Who, as we were just saying, is very much dedicated to trying to keep Watanuki around even though Watanuki is sometimes very invested in doing the opposite. 

It’s a very KuroFai parallel all things considered.

the contrast between two of my favourite vroom blorbos is hysterical to me.

charles: chest out. water dripping everywhere. classic movie star sunglasses. dramatic lighting. carefully composed HQ pics.

oscar: chest reveal only in the name of ocean conservation. wet as a cat in a bathtub. vaguely awkward stances throughout. blurry screengrabs captured on a potato.

(and i wouldn’t have it any other way)

So about the Sugar Daddy Patient...imagine Law as your Sugar Daddy

You want something? He'll probably give it to you in a sec

Lmao, to be fair I don't even know Law's economical status but hey, in a modern setting he would still be a doctor right? So...

googles trauma surgeon salary

Bye. Need Sugar Daddy Law in my life. Need him to give me his black Amex to go get my hair nails done and go shopping while he's busy with surgeries all day cause I deserve it!! I'll die of boredom sitting at home all day so might as well make myself useful by maxing out the card. Might visit him at the hospital for shits and giggles and pretend that I'm having chest pain just to have an excuse to see him. Maybe get to have a quick trip to the nearest supply closet or on-call room to help him relieve some stress. The other patients can wait I'm trying to get my dose of eye candy!! Make sure to leave a lipstick stain on his neck so that his coworkers have something to tease him about.

Genuinely I think a lot of platitudes about passing and happiness post-transition are based on survivorship bias. We hold up the transition timelines of the people that managed to meet the cisgender baseline, photoshopped selfies of people who were already more than pretty enough, and tell people that 'hrt is magic' and a lot of people end up not passing, not meeting the bar for conventional attractiveness, and blaming themselves. The people that make it out are very much extraordinary examples, who probably should be celebrated and feel good about their progress, but aren't 100% of transitions.

I don't want people to think that they're doomed or it isn't possible, because it is. But it isn't universal. Some people aren't going to pass. Some people aren't going to be bombshells. And there has to be a way to reckon with that other than telling them to get ffs, try harder, and wait for hrt to work its magic. There has to be a way to make it feel okay for those people.

"ummmmm yeah that strike bisan called for is really rushed and leaves no time to prepare for it and its during finals season and it's just poorly organized :/" hmmm I. well. I wonder why a palestinian journalist living in palestine is calling for a strike on very short notice. i wonder why a palestinian journalist living in the midst of her own genocide for the past two months where. where disease outbreaks are rising and no one can find food or water and many of these people (including bisan herself a few weeks ago at one point) are not expecting to live more than a few days let alone weeks. I wonder why someone living in this horrific and incredibly bleak and uncertain situation is calling for strikes without planning weeks/months in advance. I wonder why! they are not planning these with weeks/months or even days of prep time in mind! I wonder why! this is quite a conundrum! lets uh. lets put our fucking thinking caps on! so to speak!

One thing I do find a little weird about this point in act one, is this here?

That's not even really.. true? Anevia give my girl Seelah some credit she did more than half of that

Dick should be Romani. Jason should be Hispanic. Damian is half-Arab. I don't know where we fall on Tim, I guess he can be the only white boy in the Robins. /shrug

Tim's upper crust New Jersey rich class, he is white as hospital wall paint. Dick just is Romani, that's straight up canon at this point, I don't know whether they've made it so both of his parents were Romani but I know that at least John Grayson has been Romani for some time in canon, which would make Dick at least half. Damian's a bit harder to pin down because DC has flip-flopped a lot on exactly what the al Ghul heritage is, Ra's I believe is half Chinese and half Arab (where exactly? who the Hell knows apparently the entire Arab world is a monolith for this people) and Talia has that and I think her mom was Arabic so Damian is at least half-Arab with some Chinese ancestry and is, in fact, brown, just like his mom and his grandpa (those ugly-ass movies that made him painfully white are the Devil's work). Jason at least needs to be ethnically ambiguous enough that he was able to wholeheartedly believe that the top three candidates for his biological mom are a Middle-Eastern woman, an East Asian woman of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent, or a blond haired blue eyed white woman. I tend to go for biracial Hispanic because I myself am the child of one white parent and one Latin parent and I like projecting, but I've seen a lot of good stuff with Jason as East-Asian or Afro-Latino that I really enjoy. And Cass is also biracial, since her mom is, again, of Chinese and Japanese descent and I don't know what the fuck David Cain is, and she should be portrayed as such as well.

And if DC could just remember all of this and stop portraying them as just Bruce clones physically that would be swell.

i'm not brazillian but the idea of qforever being called a dictator is just kinda making me go. what? like. objectively he. isnt? thats not what the word means? he CANT have total power when the federation is right there. what is goin on over there.....

i mean. yeah. there’s also the issue that it makes no sense and is clearly untrue. but what really gets me is it feels like during the elections themselves, forever and cellbit were the Only ones who got called (future) dictators. and now that’s extended to forever’s actual presidency. the only two people that have Ever been called dictators on the servers have been brazilians. not even 50 years have passed since brazil was under dictatorship. hell, it hasn’t even been 40. i know these people likely have 0 knowledge of any of brazil’s history, much less politics, but fucking hell 😭

I heard a rumor that First and Khaotung might be split up as a pair, do you know anything about that?

I do not.

they have been hinting that they won't have another series together next year which isn't surprising bc they talked about this for a while. At their MewH event today they said they will have a bunch of events next year but also want to do stuff individually which doesn't sound like a disbandment but more like they're taking an on-screen break which - if true - is well deserved and we should let them ✌🏻🧡

another day, more of this shit again.
