The way the internet (specifically, like, liberal and leftist spaces that I've noticed) are going back to "kill yourself" as a weapon is... disturbing.
I've seen several posts telling Elon Musk to kill himself. I saw a post talking about how you should suicide bait TERFs. I just saw a post about how certain politicians should kill themselves.
And like. I get the point is that these people are harming people and are shitty, but fucking suicide baiting isn't the answer??
You know what I saw when I looked at those posts?
I saw the proof that if I'm morally wrong to someone, they wouldn't care if I literally fucking killed myself.
I've been suicide baited by a friend before and by an ex before. It genuinely fucked me up. Learning that people you thought cared about you literally want you to die and will weaponize your mental illness against you is something genuinely extremely fucked up
So, like. Maybe "kill yourself" isn't the comeback you think it is

gonna be real here, i kinda get why baul dislikes sebek's dad so much. like, aside from being prejudiced against humans, baul would see papa zigvolt as the man who will inevitably break his daughter's heart. not by any conscious action of his own, but by virtue of being human. mama zigvolt will outlive her husband (and likely her own children!) by a measure of centuries, not decades. by marrying a human, she has sentenced herself to centuries of grief. like, that's fucked up!! as her father, baul probably worries so much for when that time comes when his daughter will be alone again.

Penelope is also Athena's pet/blorbo/special little mortal/etc. and if you think otherwise you're straight up wrong.
You're also wrong if you think Athena only likes Penelope because of Odysseus and/or Telemachus. As if Athena didn't see a young Penelope pull some shit and immediately think "Oh! Another mind to mold! C'mere you! Let's do some riddles and weaving!". Athena was happy that two of her favorite pets have met and fell in love!

Headcanon that Billy is not only immune to the magical lightning that helps him transform, but he’s also immune to normal lightning and all other forms of electricity.
At first, the realization is super cool. Billy doesn’t get hurt by static electricity anymore. He’s immune to Freddy’s hand buzzer pranks. He even gets 200 bucks from some big shot teenagers that dared him to touch an electric fence.
The problem comes when he tries to catch the bus in the rain one day and gets struck by REAL lightning. In front of dozens of people. Who are not supposed to know he’s immune to lightning. And Billy is very bad at improv.
Billy: *gets struck by lightning*
Billy: WHAT THE F—
Everyone: O_O
Billy: Oooo ouchh
Billy: I am in so much pain

not to go off topic but i think that ideal post-canon dungeon meshi situation for kabru is for him to simultaneously have a slowburn domestic cozy noodles and rare escapes to go monster hunting and falling asleep in the same bed situation with mithrun AND some sort of high politics high stakes power dynamics they can't escape, manipulation equally matched by hopeless affection, glances shared over council tables, getting caught in the closet with the king again (explaining basic social protocols to him) thing with laios.
then just as he's coming to terms with his own feelings and the possibility that they might be romantic he learns that mithrun and laios have in fact been carrying on some sort of psychosexual no-strings affair the whole time (mithrun sits on the dresser and dispassionately explains horrific and bizarre monster situations from around the globe while laios gets off seven feet away)

Dear fucking god I have not stopped thinking about Grace and Max since I watched npmd. Absolutely INSANE character dynamic. Like. They both find a power trip by being together, or even fantasizing about it. Max calls her forbidden fruit but what’s so interesting is that to her he is the forbidden fruit. At first you think they’re opposites but then you realize they’re exactly the same. Justifying their own awful actions by saying that they have a godlike entitlement to do what they want. The religion themes. The power trips. The way they’re looking in a mirror and seeing everything they hate and everything they want so so bad. The way Max is shown in dirty girl having so many similarities with when he appears as a ghost bcus to Grace he was already haunting her. Literally fucking insane

looking at the npmd tumblr posts I'm kinda glad that we seem to be all on the same page when it comes to npmd's portrayal of bullying and that putting a stop to it isn't as easy as simply having the victims stand up to them - examples being Max still beating the shit up out of Pete, Richie, and Ruth even when they make a stand in their own way. Standing up to them directly and telling them "i'm not a loser" or "you're just a bully" or something along those lines in order to take away their power is simply a disproven cliche because bullies don't care if their victims retaliate. They only care about the power they hold and when such power is taken away from them by force - so kudos to Starkid for having bullying portrayed as not just a regular schoolboy nuisance but as genuinely life-threatening shit that needs to be taken seriously because if it isn't nipped in the bud, once that bully gains more power, they will grow crazy with it.

really disappointing that bunjywunjy had to be pestered twice just to quietly remove their reblog after using their huge platform to encourage garbage like raving about the lesbian estonian soviet flag and how 'new pride flag just dropped' so people could go 'ooh pretty' about a flag that was forced onto us by ppl who wanted our culture gone and oppressed us for about a century in total if not more.
to say nothing or not show anything of the truth about that flag and quietly remove the reblog felt more like it was done out of obligation (and you didn't agree) rather than care for the subject matter that is still a fresh wound in our country's memory. it's only been 33 years since it ended.
I'd rather you make the mistake about something you didn't know (eastern european history is easy for westeners to overlook, because we're not a big country like them, we're not england or france or spain or germany) and admit/apologize for said mistake or even just outright state that you don't actually care rather than say nothing and quietly remove something so that people would stop talking about it

If you’re gonna care about prison abolition and justice you are necessarily going to have to care about the people who DID do those crimes and just want to reintegrate and live a normal life without hurting anyone. You're gonna have to be cool with the fact that the guy scanning your groceries might’ve raped someone. You're gonna have to relax about the possibility that your bank teller used to be a career criminal. The person sitting next to you on the bus might’ve committed three different murders, and as long as he's not about to commit a fourth right now, that's not your fuckin' problem. People don't disappear from society after they commit crimes, and most of them really just want to live a normal, stable life instead of going back to that. And the best way to make sure they don't relapse is to ensure they're able to live that peaceful life instead of freaking out because the guy next door used to run a dogfighting ring. You don’t have to be friends with them, you don't even have to like them, but you're gonna need to be okay with them existing in society. Sorry.
