The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.

#also idk how to tell you this but even if it were true. wealthy children potentially sacrificing their educational careers to protest is #a good thing actually. idk how to tell you that caring about people from other nations is good #personal #“this war has nothing to do with most students cuz nobody's getting drafted” idk how to explain to you that we should be angry #that our tuitions of 10s of thousands of dollars that we pay every year for an education is being used to fund a genocidal campaign #also the implication that if you go to a uni institution you are automatically privileged by participation no matter your bg #i didn't /want/ to go to this school. i was supposed to go to a school with an art/animation program. but i realized my immigrant #parents have been working their whole lives to get me here. and turning the opportunity down would be a disservice to their sacrifice #this is getting into convos of “what 2nd gen kids owe their parents” which is different for everyone but. yeah #i just get pissed off at seeing people misrepresenting student bodies as “wealthy” and “privileged” and “elite” when it's such a blatant li #i remember a year ago a friend told me they can't fly home to hong kong for winter break because the plane tickets are too expensive #so they have to find temporary housing around the area #last quarter for a film doc class my film partner made a doc on a small group of marxist grad students from india discussing praxis #during a rally a few months ago in response to police presence the coalition invited palestinian students to speak about their experiences #and lead songs and read poems they wrote. these are STUDENTS. are they elitist too? #this is not to disregard my own personal privilege either. #this whole narrative's just to rationalize a lack of empathy to me. seeing a 19yo student get shot by a rubber bullet and your first #reaction is “HAW! HAW! bet richy rich didn't see THAT coming when she put on her terrorist hood!” #newsflash. these big uni campuses are HAUNTED by the violence of past protests and revolutions and police brutality. we know. #why do you think these coalitions have been making reinforced barricades at record speed

D'Arce S Ending: "As soon as I can revive him from the dead, the wedding is BACK ON!"

#fear and hunger #d'arce cataliss #le'garde #fear and hunger spoilers #blood #self harm #Quote from Piosplayhouse #And he would go on to slay. Many millions of people infact. #D'arce Cataliss more like D'arce Catalyst For The Near Destruction Of Humanity. #D'arce has such a noble and pure heart but it is presented as her greatest flaw and I think that's brilliant. #Girl I don't think you can love the flaws out of this man. Yes is he very beautiful. No you can't fix him. #There are some people you can sacrifice everything for and they still will not care for you the way you care for them. #Learning dark magic to bring him back from the dead is NOT a good first date idea D'arce! #(I'm not very good at drawing blood and flesh.

Kafka 🕸 Witch Hat Atelier AU

It is finally complete! BrimHat!Kafka's character sheet!

If you would like more context, check out the "hsr x wha au" tag!

More on Kafka's AU lore under the cut ⁀➷

Using forbidden magic, Kafka has altered various part of her body. Most notably are her ink claw and her augmented vocal cords. The ink claws are hollow inside and hold ink, allowing her to cast spells on the fly easily. The augmented vocal cords are a key component for her Spirit Whisper spell. Her voice is capable of speaking in a frequency that can only be heard by the spell's victim.

---

Kafka belongs to a group of Brim Hats called the Stelleron Hunters, who, true to their name, collect Stellerons.

Not much is known about stellerons, except that they are harbingers of disaster. Is they remnants from before the Day of the Pact? Perhaps ancient contraptions? Or maybe signs of divine wrath? Rumour has it that knowledge of it's true nature is only know by the Three Wise ...and the Stelleron Hunters.

---

While travelling on its usual route, the Express suddenly screeches to a halt. It's stuck. As the the crew members (Pom-Pom, Himeko, Welt, Dan Heng and March 7th) rush to the front to check what's wrong, the power goes out. Neon pink webs shoot up from the floor. Then, illuminated by the glowing webs, a woman with striking purple-pink eyes appears.

"Kafka." Himeko stands protectively in front of her fellow crew members, weapon at the ready.

"Relax, Astral Express." Kafka's smile curls up further but doesn't reach her eyes.

"I've brought gifts~"

Kiriona said that if she killed Alecto, she would be John's cavalier. That's so interesting to me, because it's the one relationship we've never seen in a necrocav pairing. We've had siblings, lovers, cousins, best friends, coworkers, uncles, servants, and whatever the fuck Babs and Ianthe had going on, but never a parent and child.

Unless.

We still don't know what Samael and Anastasia's relationship was, but we do know now that Anastasia was already a mother before the ascension. Pyrrha painted a nursery for her.

It would be very interesting if Samael had been Anastasia's son.

#Anastasia and John are already set up to contrast #in being a long dead mythologised ancestor and a living relic set on nothing outliving him #so if John really did offer to make Kiriona his cavalier #and Samael was Anastasia's child #there is space for another fascinating parallel here in whatever Kiriona and John make of that offer next book #anastasia dedicated her death and her legacy to avenging her cavalier #she may even be responsible for sacrificing that legacy to create Harrow as a last-ditch pass at freeing Alecto #and if I'm right about that then there's a grim poetry to it #sacrificing every son and daughter of her House to avenge the son she refused to sacrifice #the locked tomb #ntn spoilers #kiriona gaia #anastasia the first #samael novenary #alecto speculation #tlt meta #emperor john gaius

something about the way misty says "if you save him the others will get you." she has already decided that she will not participate in killing natalie, like she left the cabin and was running around with everyone, already with the intention of helping natalie if she could even without javi drowning.

#the way travis AND javi AND misty all allied themselves to her in this episode makes me so crazy #but man #if misty had let everyone eat kristen they wouldnt have had to choose someone to kill yet #and nat wouldnt have been hunted in the first place #idk how much misty subscribes to 'the wilderness' i think shes a nonbeliever but will go with shit if it serves her own purposes #but when everyone else decides that the wilderness Chose javi #regardless of whether or not thats actually real #i think for misty what's real is that She Chose to Save Nat and Sacrifice Javi. and she has to carry that forever. #and be forever entwined with nat bc of it #yellowjackets #yj spoilers

[spop-romanticizes-abuse]

hmm. i feel like what c//a stans fail to take into consideration is that.. shakespearean tragedies were never supposed to be romantic. they were supposed to be tragedies.

i just know for a fact that op here was referring to the infamous romeo and juliet when they talked about “shakespearean tragedies”, because that's the most notable example of a forbidden romance. but the point of romeo and juliet wasn't the romance, it was the dramatization of an adolescent relationship due to family feud. romeo and juliet were never truly “in love”, they were children who were infatuated with each other, as often happens with children.

not to mention, the conflict in spop was so forced, it was more frustrating than tragic. especially at the end of failsafe. instead of having catra work on her abandonment issues and try to help adora in whatever way she could, the show decided to have her project her issues onto the person she allegedly loved and abandon adora when she was practically on her deathbed. this isn't a tragedy, it's yet another example of catra being self-centered and toxic.

#“catra is not self-centered she just didn't want adora to sacrifice herself!!” #the first thing she says is that adora chose shadow weaver over her #catra wasn't sad that adora was going to die‚ she was sad that adora wasn't prioritizing HER all the time #“why don't you want to stay with me after i gave you irreparable trauma and scars??” #spop critical #spop #spop salt #spop criticism #spop discourse #she ra #anti catradora #anti catra #anti spop #anti c//a #antic//a #anticatra #anticatradora

I saw your tags on the other post and pls rant about Jessica Stanley being the main character. Kthankbye ✌🏻

I was trying to find a post on my blog that imagined Jessica as the Main character Twilight.

But frankly it all boils down to Smeyer using Bella as a self insert. Now a lot of people hate that criticism, but it’s not a criticism rather than a statement of fact. Her crime isn’t basing a character on herself (or a young version of herself) it’s refusing to kill her darlings. Bella’s book description is the same description of Stephenie Meyer. (See @panlight or @fuckmeyer for more information)

As for Jessica, it’s hard to figure out what Bellas (and Stephenies) beef with Jessica as a character. I would argue because we don’t get an inkling of how Bella’s friend group was in Arizona (or if she had many friends) that Jessica is another character foil how girls shouldn’t (I will link that post here) act. Of course this is a subconscious point that the narrative makes.

Jessica is this determined high schooler who likes boys (as far as we know) who is focused on her grades but is a bit of a gossip. At least from Bella’s prespective. Also, Bella is an unreliable narrator although the narrative and the author don’t treat her as such.

I think Jessica Stanley makes more sense as the main character mostly because she has more to lose than Bella, a character who doesn’t want to make connections and is only in town because of her self sacrificing mindset. (I will not go into Bella’s mother mostly because my interpretation is that she (her mother) only got worse because the narrative needed her to and then it didn’t really matter because she got to keep her family around anyway). (Also mini rant- It’s strange that a girl who was born in that town and spent summers there until she was 13 Doesn’t know any other teenagers before moving back there especially being the Chief’s daughter. I would assume she would know everyone since she wouldn’t have been left home alone. Whatever Steph)

Jessica has a family. She’s grown up in the town. She has worked so hard for her grades. It would be interesting to see all of that come crashing down because of her involvement with vampires.

@humans4vampires just made a post pointing out the adrenaline caused by Edward’s presence and its masking via Bella’s attraction to Edward. Who’s to say that couldn’t happen to Jessica in their initial meeting.

The narrative would be the Cullens moving to Forks. Jessica gets rejected by Edward. Yes, she’s heartbroken by it, but that’s the new boys problem she’s on a mission to get all A’s. Her tight knit friend group keeps her distracted. Then one day, she’s walking around in the woods taking a break from her studies or just for some quiet time and comes across Edward hunting and covered in blood.

Edward, of course, hearing her thoughts, panics. They just moved to Forks. He can’t just let her get away, but she’s well known in the town. It’s small. He can’t kill her. So (like a dingus), he runs off.

Jessica having seen something so frightening rushes home to calm down, and she plays sick for the next week.

Anyway, I just think Jessica has more to lose, and it will be real push and pull of narrative as she is not only protecting this secret from the rest of her friends. She has to get through high school without dying until she realizes that she won’t be able to live her dreams because she will be a vampire or be killed.

#twilight renaissance #twilight saga #twilight #jessica stanley #pretty much tl:dr: the narrative tension and the threat of being a vampire and sacrifice and even the Romeo and Juliet aspects #make more sense with there's tension and both parties have to lose something #Jessica has to fight to give up her old life and what she knows and loves #Edward will have to read beyond people's surface thoughts to actually make connections #Bella on the other hand doesn't sacrifice anything physically emotionally or mentally #I guess you can argue her agency and development but that's because of weird lore not something she is actively willing to give or keep #everything is a reward for bella #Jessica would have to actually make connections with Cullens and excuse her new erratic behavior to protect the cullens secret #I could even see Edward threatening her at first and afterward growing close to where she does want to protect him despite being in danger #Also Jessica ruining her perfect attendance record is so heartbreaking for her

Wanting the most developed Princess Zelda yet to not get her happy ending or be with the person she loves, just be married off to some random nobody so there can be another Princess Zelda later (because there will be, because there will be another game), is objectively a shitter ending than zelink ending up together. I do not care.

#“what about Link's freedom :(” #first of all he CHOSE to stay by her side #Chose #You have more of a problem with it than he actually does #Secondly #What about ZELDA #you know the person botw and totk actually revolves around yeah? #she should just get a shitty ending after all that? after all that sacrifice for Link? Because mgtow? muh sigma male? Fuck off #Y'all only care about MEN and it shows #zelink #tears of the kingdom

Mike yelling at everyone for expecting El to fight for ‘no reason’ in s3… please Mike, share with the class what would qualify as a valid reason for El to fight?? Will being in danger perhaps? The plot of s1-2 perhaps?

#byler #stranger things #mike wheeler #i think it’s really interesting tjay in s1-2 mike never asks el if she WANTS to help #she’s in danger and is running from bad men #and Mike feels the urge to help her bc she is in a situation that no kid should be #but then also his best friend is missing #and this girl has super powers and knows where he is??? #Mike doesnt take a moment to talk with el to assure helping and straining herself and her powers #if this is what she wants to be doing #and i think el interprets that as this being a requirement for her to stay around #she also recognized Will and so for all we know she did want to help #but the back and forth between both Mike and Dustin and Lucas sort of doubting her #and in worst case scenarios lashing out #ultimately leading to her sacrifice #it makes sense why Mike specifically felt sooooo much guilt #bc he just expected her to help w/out asking first if that’s what she wanted to do #and so then she returns in s2 ALIVE #and yes relieved #but again Will is in danger again #but el is also putting herself in danger after JUST returning #yet mike doesn’t try to convince her to not fight despite the dangers implied #bc the reason for her fighting is valid to him #i just think it’s interesting that the instant Will being in danger is off the table #Mike is now suddenly critical that they need a more justified reason for her to fight #who wants to guess that if Will’s well being wasnt involved #Mike never would have all those doubts in s3 about el going through with it #he might have told her to be careful bc he doesn’t want to lose her #but i don’t think he would have tried to convince her to not fight #i just find that to be something we should examine… in terms of understanding mikes deeper feelings/guilt (survivors)
