Was talking to @eiswolfzero and got an idea

Bleeding effect and living thru everyones memories from young to old would probobly confuse Desmond sometimes.

He would land hard and would think "oh my knees getting up is gonna hurt" and he gets up normal and is like "oh right im not 50"

----

"we didnt use to do it like that when I was 34-" "

"Desmond you are in your 20s"

-----

"how old are you btw?"

Desmond: 17? NO Im not wtf! 24-? no wait uh... Give me a moment

-------

"whens your birthday?"

"which one i been to like 3..."

----

*Sees a hot person* "ah.. if only I was younger~"

"oh wait I litterally am their age"

Back in my day we would get splinters in our buttocks when we sat on the privy, none of this ceramic bullshit.

Much love to this old lady whose reaction to Macron's Great Saucepan Ban of 2023 was to straight-up smuggle a saucepan in her purse past the police checkpoint to go clang it with a spoon near the president with renewed anger and determination.

Protesters today greeted the Prime Minister on an official visit by banging their shoes against walls to make noise, so I wonder how long we'll still be allowed to wear shoes.

(Joking about this is risky because after the saucepan protests on Monday, Le Gorafi (the Onion's French cousin) joked that the government would now take action to seize pans—and it became a reality on Thursday... We can't forget that our satirical news outlets are disproportionately affected by the bullshit inflation.)

#frpol #so far people's dedication to protesting in places and in ways that have been banned despite #all the deterring measures from tear gas to arrests and fines has been heartwarming #the other day a journalist was interviewing people who had been arrested for #protesting on Place de la République in Paris on a day when protests in this specific location had been banned #and the journalist asked ''were you aware that this protest was banned?''#and a young student (fresh out of a night spent in police custody)'s reaction was #to scowl and say ''a banned protest—that's not a thing.''

lonely

[ID: A limited palette of green and pink, Vashwood comic. The first page serves as a prologue. The first panel shows Vash speaking to someone off screen while Wolfwood is lingering behind him. A black arrow is drawn pointing at him. In the second panel, Vash is buying donuts in the distance while Wolfwood is once again in view, lingering. and the black arrow is drawn pointing at him. In the third panel, Vash is leaving a cubicle and turning towards his right with a slightly peeved expression. He sees Wolfwood, leaning against the cubicle, waiting for him, and with the black arrow drawn, pointing at him, implicating the consistent hovering of Wolfwood’s presence during Vash’s everyday. At the bottom of the page, they’re drawn out of panel with Vash turning to Wolfwood and saying with an irritated expression, “You’re really following me everywhere, huh?” Wolfwood responds, “What, you got a problem?” Vash responds without hesitation, “Yeah, kinda...”

The second page starts with a new day. In the first panel, Vash is seen alone, weighing apples in his hands at a mart, with crowds passing behind him. In the second panel, he turns to his right and starts to say, “Hey, Wolfwood...” In the third panel, he’s startled from seeing a stranger, whom he’d accidentally called out to when he was expecting to see Wolfwood. He says, “Oh, you’re not him. Sorry!” In the fourth panel, the stranger walks off and Vash muses, “Right, he said he had something to do today...”

The third page begins with a close up of Vash's miffed expression, the continuation of Vash's thoughts, "Now that he's not here, this is just like how I used to be, but... It feels lonely somehow. Oh well, I'll see him again tonight, like always." In the second panel, it shows Vash walking through the marketplace crowd, alone. In the third panel, the door panel is a close up of the door opening with a peek of Vash's head. He says, "Wolfwood!" In the fourth panel, Vash is holding a bag of food with a bright smile and says, "Are you hungry? I got you something to eat today!"

The fourth page begins with a shot of the room, two beds being highlighted, one of them being made properly with the blanket draped over the bed and the other with the blanket folded and pillow sitting on top of it. There's no sign of Wolfwood. The second panel shows Vash with a disappointed look as he thinks, "He's still not here?" The third panel shows Vash putting the bag of food on the table. Stapled to the paper bag is the receipt with a written note "For Wolfwood." Vash's thoughts continue "He does like to stay out so, I guess there's no reason to worry..." The fourth panel shows Vash sitting his bed somberly with his thoughts continued, "It's not any of my business anyway..."

The fifth page starts with a close up his blank expression as he looks downwards, thinking, "Even if he left completely... That'd be understandable and better for him. I'll just travel alone again... like before... Huh?" The next panel shows Vash's composure break, tears welling up in his eyes suddenly, as he didn't expect to cry. He starts to sob, putting his hands to his face to quiet himself and wipe at his tears, as he says, "Ugh... Dammit... I miss h..." The last panel shows Vash leaning over into his hands, still crying, and in the back, the door swings wide open with a bam as Wolfwood walks through with the punisher swung behind him. He shouts, "SPIKEY! You in here?!"

The sixth page starts with Wolfwood confused, looking at Vash and Vash looks back, just as confused, with tears in his eyes and snot out of his nose. Wolfwood starts saying, "Ah? You..." No longer in panels, at the bottom of the page, Wolfwood takes the Punisher off of himself and starts to walk towards Vash, continuing with slight concern, "What's wrong with you? Did something happen?" Vash, hurriedly begins to wipe at his tears, denying immediately, "No! No, I'm fine! Nothing happened!"

The seventh page, Vash points towards the table, with a hand still wiping at his tears and he smiles as he says, "I uh got you food. On the table." Wolfwood looks towards to the table and responds, "Oh. I was getting hungry, thanks." He turns his head back to Vash immediately after with an uncertain expression, knowing the other wasn't responding to his concern, and says, "But, I know you're an idiot with this stuff, so I'm reminding you again. Don't brush it off if it's an issue, alright?"

The eight page, Vash's tears have dried and he looks to Wolfwood with a soft smile and responds, "Yeah. It's okay though..." A panel at the center shows a side view of Vash approaching Wolfwood. At the bottom of the page, with no panel, is a close up shot of Vash's hand, holding onto the edge of Wolfwood's jacket sleeve, as he says, "Because you're here now. Wolfwood."

The final page is a back shot of both of them standing next to each other, Wolfwood's head tilted slightly to the left, not fully believing Vash as he says, "That doesn't answer anything, Spikey." Vash responds, "There's no need to talk about it! You should enjoy your food. Let's have a drink too?" Wolfwood responds, "Tsk, tsk. Fine, yeah. I could use one." END ID]

#vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun #trigun maximum #but onto this comic... i think and talk a LOT about vash's loneliness bc trigun is just. kind of central on that for a good while! esp in #the original manga he was alone for a good portion of it and he tends to keep others away like how he ran away from meryl and milly when #they tried to tag along. and he was kind of bothered when he realized ww was following him around Too. at the core even though he loves #humans and he loves deeply the people he does know -- he isnt really much of a people person and i think thats been the case since he was #young considering his initial doubts towards humans... with the exception of kids bc kids dont give him moral conflicts. so suddenly #here comes wolfwood!!! his guide. someone TRULY affixed to him until he has to get to knives. someone who isnt budging and someone whos #really good at following him around and even seems like he goes like 5 steps ahead to make sure vash doesnt run on him #in one way its - i don't want you to follow me bc i don't want to burden you and i don't want you to kill the people i want to save.#in another way its - i like this companionship. i like waking up to you and i like ending the way with you. i like talking to someone who #knows my world. i like being in your space and sometimes i enjoy talking about our day #theyre just living together. like. roadtrip buddies or theyre also under the same roof because they're going everywhere together.#trimax they mainly spend their mornings together and if they had personal business attend the other person would usually know and itd only #be during the midday. anyway bc of this kind of companionship i figure that vash eventually grew accustom to it and he really. cant go back #to the kind of loneliness from before. it's harder to imagine and it'd be harder to withstand. esp after 2 years with lina and her grandma.#ruporas art

Society if the community writers had given Jeff and Annie literally any other character dynamic and didn't try to make them a couple

#listen i think jeff and annoe could’ve had such a great dynamic if they were more older/younger siblingesque and not lovers #like annie is young and fresh out of high school. she has to take care of herself completely because her family kicked her out #and jeff has at that point been a lawyer for years and has a lot of experience with life and shitty people #it would've worked so so much better if jeff was more someone who tried to help annie (probably begrudgingly at first)#and help her navigate life #and would try to give her advice. and sometimes the advice would be bad. but like at the end of the day they'd still care for each other #and there would be absolutely zero romance. none #because like in fics i really like reading them having more of that kind of dynamic #i think it works so much better for them #nbc community #annie edison #jeff winger

Donna Troy is truly the character of all time. Always struggling with how people percive her. Needing to be perfect on the outside if not on the inside. Spending her entire life hiding her faults from outside eyes.

And then the monkey paw curls.

She gets erased and brought back with Wally’s memories of her. All of a sudden the facade she’s put up all her life becomes her. She becomes what she’s always projected to the world.

But it fixes nothing. Instead of worrying about showing her flaws to the world she worries she’s successfully erased them. The jokes is on her. She finally perfected the mirage of herself, but instead of freedom she finds herself in a self built prison, trapped in a watered down Donna Troy, the hollow image of perfection she cultivated all her life.

Her response is to scream in her own voice for the first time in her life.

#Donna Troy #no one does it like her #her response to this is to try her best to be imperfect and like in need to write a meta about this one day #like combined with Donna’s vision about perfection being about being the perfect girl (tm)#like there’s so much there about people especially young girls who try so hard to be the perfect girl to be obedient to follow what their p #parents and society says they should and they reach their early 20s and they realize they need to be imperfect they need to scream for the #first time in their lives #Donna Troy I love u #teen titans

Daily reminder that in 1980, only 36% of eligible voters between ages 18-20 and 43% of eligible voters between ages 21-24 voted. In 1984, 37% for 18-20 and 44% for 21-24.

Meanwhile, in 1980, 65% of eligible voters aged 65+ voted. In 1984, 68% voted.

Republicans have a history of relying on young voters to not vote. They purposefully make young people feel discouraged; like no matter what, it won’t make a difference.

I don’t care if your state tends to always vote with one party. Get out and vote.

Especially in swing states, every single vote matters. Every. Single. Vote.

Mail in your vote. Go during your lunch break. Plan to take the day off. Your vote matters. In fact, it matters so much that people will purposefully try to sabotage you voting.

Here’s a guide on how to register to vote and how to check if you are registered. Plan ahead. Make sure you know how to mail in your vote or where voting booths will be.

Republicans have been so flippant towards Gen Z because of our historical hesitance to vote.

We have the power to make things at least somewhat okay.

I have seen so many people from Gen z saying voting for Kamala is hopeless because she’s a woman of color, citing past elections as proof.

That discouragement is purposeful. It’s been used for decades. And it’s been working.

This website is relatively young. Especially with a lot of older Gen z, including me, where this is their first or second election that they are eligible for.

Don’t listen to those saying voting is pointless. That there is no way Kamala will win so who cares? It’s absolutely okay to be frustrated and or wary, but don’t let that keep you from taking action.

Young voters are the key. Start planning on your vote now. Take it seriously. Your voice matters. Your vote matters.

#I’ve mentioned a lot I’m a history major with a big interests in 20th century #when it comes to late 20th century I’m very into us politics #and I have said so many times that people need to study history because it becomes so obvious so fast how much history repeats itself #reagan bought out older voters and discouraged young people from voting and it worked #and it continues to work till this day #and it’s so frustrating to watch #not to make another two notes pity post but I just need to say it #2024 elections #us politics #rae’s rambles #joe biden #kamala harris

I was sitting in my hostel's common room (journaling and absentmindedly eating dinner) and tripped and fell into a two hour discussion with a British man who happened to be sitting there as well. We discussed international politics and I managed to hold my own---who knew I had this many opinions about the ICJ? Also he kissed my hand afterward, which has to be the most charming thing to happen to me in recent history. Now I'm sweetly cradled in wine bed and listening to a recording of the opera I wanted to see...it's okay, actually. Everything is wonderful.

#I went to the grocery store and bought a bunch of wine and cheese and crackers. excellent decision!#the lesser american roadtrip #you know I want to give credit to my trip to dublin about a year ago.#I think americans generally are weirded out by international travel; our country is so big and if you're used to a certain region #leaving feels.....strange.#but if you just hang out people will talk to you. I talked to a woman about swans two days ago; the curators here are young and lovely #so they don't talk to me but you know who does? older women. I am friend-shaped to them.#I am sitting listening to an opera with the window open and the sound of rain and it's lovely.
