And that's why she's a Queen

#the fact they even had this idea... #no need to insult the first lady and a whole country like that #the last sentence of saint javelin very much #friendly reminder that the whole Navalny family are neither friends nor supporters of ukraine and are highly problematic #and Navalny is not the perfect little angel now everyone pretends him to be #that so many in the west now worship him and kiss his wife's feet and completely ignoring what he said and supported in the west #but god forbid one Ukrainian breathes in the wrong way or ze forget to say thank you at some point #“the image of women resisting putin” my ass #no need to pretend theyre the same and no need to insult olena like that #still cant grasp the fact that someone was like oh were letting them die and stop important aid for month #but let's invite her so she looks pretty in the background #this is insulting on so many levels #to reduce her to just a pretty object jfc #alao the audacity to put her next to that woman and in the same room with the people who are responsible for Ukrainians dying

Here's the thing about the royal family not fully understanding that Wilhelm and Simon were *truly* in love though.

And subsequently, why Wille's coming out to the entirety of Sweden was so so powerful: them not knowing, or simply refusing to acknowledge this, no matter how many times he tried to tell them, actually gave Wille a much higher edge over everyone trying to cover up the scandal, even if he didn't realise this at first.

Every single person had a misunderstanding that this was something he wanted. That they were doing him an obvious favor by helping him cover it up, preparing a speech for him, threatening him whenever he got sidetracked. Or at least something he'd see sense in once he got past that "hormonal driven teenage tantrum" and understand that covering it up was the best course of action. Of course he wouldn't bring the other boy and his feelings into all of this. Simon was just an experiment right? Who'd go so far as to sabotage themselves to bring justice to someone they didn't even love and care about?

And this. this exact misassumption was what eventually brought them all down in the end.

Take August for example. If he had secrets and lies as his weapons and to keep his crimes in the dark, Wille had the truth. A whole truth bomb in the palm of his hand, all this time. And no matter how ballsy Wille was trying to be in that "I'm gonna slowly ruin August's life" mission of his, he was still fighting fire with fire. He only won when he clashed against August as an exact antithesis of him in that coming out speech. August's whole plan was doused only when Wille spoke the truth and refused to play along with his games.

I mean really, had he not done this, what would've happened at worst? August would've.. gotten voted out of being rowing captain?? Maybe he would suffer a bit then, but would it really matter in the long run? August knew that, and so did Wille, deep down, but he ignored that part and instead convinced himself that he was at least doing something to make himself feel better.

Because honestly?!

August never understood, or even cared to! He'd pretend to be sorry whenever needed and go right back to being where he was if needed, as long as he was gonna be king. The moment August actually. genuinely lost to him was when Wille did something not out of hatred for August, but out of love for Simon. And when he did, without having August in his mind, but the person he loved and cared about, he made it impossible for August to go anywhere from there on. It wasn't revenge, it was reconciliation that finally got him. (And simultaneously saved Wilmon's relationship too, for that matter 👀)

This has such poetry in it btw?? I can't properly explain it, but it does remind me of atla and Zuko's arc in a way. How there's a whole world of difference between his firebending when it's fueled by rage, and when it's fueled by wisdom, focus and harmony within the elements. The difference in outcome is so visibly there when the motivation is switched, and when Wille has love and understanding and bravery in his heart instead.

The whole time, the entire Hillerska staff, student body, royal court and royal family and tHEIR ROYAL FAMILIES- *deep breath* WERE AFTER MY BACHCHA had anticipated Wille to lash out for having his royal image tainted and getting at odds with his family but the fact that he'd do it on Simon's behalf never even crossed their brilliant little minds. They had equiped themselves, sure, but never for this >:) Because for all their brains and strategising, no one had actually sat down and thought for once that Wilmon were actually in love. There was a power in it that no one had anticipated.

#like sir. SIR. #did you not consider them an actual threat?! ahhahahh well SIKE #young royals #young royals analysis #wilmon #prince wilhem #august young royals #august horn #young royals season 2 #OH GOAH and now i can't stop thinking about the kind of conversation he's about to have with kristina like #she can scream and trash around all she wants wille literally has the upper hand now omhsgg #they can't touch him?? and to think the way out was there all this time? #august is dead basically the whole country is gonna hype this case up now #the royal familys gotta look nice and definitely not homophobic to the public and wilmon can be together at least for the time being #AND THE TENSION EVERYWHERE #oh god. s3 is gonna be rollercoaster on fire isn't it :'''

Gian insinuating that being gay is something you do not want to be hit pretty close to home for me.

My mom told be once “We accept you for who you are and who you might like, but you know what we hope for you.” Because being queer is hard, and she wants ‘the best’ for me.

Being straight and cis in this world is just easier. And I get what she meant but as a queer kid it hurt.

#it is so closely written with the treu queer experience of family being okay with gay people until its one of their close family #off course you want the best for the people you love #and god knows many queer people have wished to just be straight #because it is not easy to be queer in this world #and this is coming from someone who is from a country that kostly accepting of queer people #unknown the series #unknown series #taiwanese bl #taiwan bl #taiwanese drama #bl series #bl drama #qian x yuan #queer medi #queer experience

honestly they were disrespectful to themselves. they let it get completely out of hand for a MONTH. the palace did this to themselves

yeah... look nobody will get me to agree with people being like 'conspiracy theorists have gone too far' 'you've all been disrespectful towards catherine' 'there was never a reason for any of this' 'you should be ashamed for what you said' etc etc etc. because like... first of all, again, i hold zero respect for these people. why the fuck should i. but even if i did... it's their own fucking fault???? the fuck?????? lmao?????????? literally only a handful of people gave a fuck until that doctored photo. and then they just kept making it worse. and i'm sorry but i actually don't think they're entitled to their privacy when their entire job is pr and they're blatantly lying in all their pr shit like ? what else are you good for lol. but then that also makes me angry because as much as i don't like kate for several reasons i'm still a bit genuinely offended at her behalf for how they've handled all this shit.. like making her take the blame for the photoshop (i hope for her sake it was her own idea, because otherwise........), having her appear alone in the video announcing her cancer (why tf isn't william there when she's talking about how he's by her side lmao), the general just lack of giving a fuck about anything whilst the world went wild theorising about her.... i can't tell whether she's taking the fall to cover for something else or if they're just all absolute assholes ?? again like. i don't like kate middleton. for many reasons. but i like william and charles a whole lot less and it's infuriating that they're making me feel like she's been wronged lmao

#im not even SUPER anti royalty #i mean i think its fucking stupid and serves no purpose #but a lot of countries have royals who really are Just figureheads #and if that was all the british royal family was then whatever #i mean theyre still a horrible symbol of colonialism and general racism #but like it doesn't really matter that they're there #EXCEPT it kinda does because they still have way too much social power #like idgaf about the norwegian royal family but at least they're like. normal. hell they even fly commercial #which im sure is a pr thing but i do appreciate it #like nobody cares about them in norway but i don't think anyone dislikes them either? #because they just do Nothing #theres a speech at christmas/new years and a wave at constitution day and thats literally it #they show up to events but its so casual #i feel like the british royal family could do this so easily but they insist on doing things like a coronation that costs millions of pound #like????????? #oh my god #again. dont give a fuck about royals in any country. but come on. #if youre gonna exist at least just be like. a figurehead. and stop being fucking weird. #answered

mmm just character thoughts don't mind me. I was initially hesitant to give my Phoenix too much characteristics that make them more than what we see in the game. I wanted to stick to focusing on their present as this silly do-gooder protagonist with simple motivations (a la Mr. No-Backstory Phoenix Wright Aceattorney. THAT'SRIGHT!! I DIDN'T JUST STOP WITH THE HAIR WAHHA /j)

which is why I didn't want to give them an actual real name for a long time.. the moment I do that is the moment they're someone unique entirely. Which isn't a bad thing! For some reason I just wanted to stick it to the simplicity. But I guess making them half-asian working for a company that's (mainly? i assume?) based in the US in the 60's already entails a lot of implications. Also I was really proud of thinking up of a real name for them which is why I put it on that one art I did for them.

All that to say is ... I'm close to deciding on going all-in with my Phoenix's characterization, backstory and all. I could... PROBABLY manage to connect their weird talent of not dying to it but. It's silly for the sake of being silly so. probably not.

What I've got so far is that they're an overseas filipino worker who, after jumping across multiple jobs (none of them sticking too long), accidentally wanders into one of the buildings of the Agency. They somehow get accepted and it doesn't take long for them to realize that they're a spy now. Surprisingly, they like the thrill. They really Did Not Expect to suddenly be saving the world but it's fine. It's fine!

#they also didn't. plan on settling down the us for family reasons #though by the end of the 1st game i think the Agency granted them citizenship bc they're an asset now #. idk the right terms i should search things more #i was going to go over how the politics work in this damn world #like. GENUINE QUESTION... do 'presidents' still exist? at least as like #one tier below the world leaders. since they Still take the time #to differentiate all the countries within the four world powers #because if so. my god. there's like . something historic happens in the PH in the 60's and im like #do i want to factor that to my silly littl agent #things are different in this world obvi #cant stop thinking about the implications lol #anyways #gene rambles #agent phoenix

#so first of all i'm not jewish. #but i feel like i occupy a relatively weird position with respect to judaism. #because the neighbourhood in which i grew up was like...30-50% jewish? #it was jewish enough that the local families requested and got a hebrew immersion programme at the local elementary school #that operated in parallel to the english programme that i attended #and about half of my friends growing up were jewish. #and so i absorbed a lot of the surface-level details of the religion by a sort of osmosis #like...i knew the dates and significance of the various jewish holy days #and i knew a smattering of phrases in hebrew (phonetically); most of them apparently quite rude #and we occasionally did jewish religious songs in choir (some of them admittedly lifted from the 'Prince of Egypt' soundtrack) #and once when i was in high school i was on a trivia team; and we asked a run of questions about judaism; #and i was the only one who knew them even though (i swear to god) i was the non-Jewish player on either team #(and then when i was much older i almost married a jewish enby and i would even have tried to convert for them #but our relationship fell apart for unrelated reasons) #but one of the things that was drilled into me when i was growing up (by my dad who grew up under similar circumstances) #was that you don't criticise Israel; it's antisemitic to criticise Israel #(which made for a lot of fraught moments as a teenager given that i was watching the second Intifada on the news) #and the thing is even now in the face of what seems pretty unambiguously to be a genocide against the Palestinians #i find that i'm more circumspect about criticizing israel than i would be just about any other country under the same circumstances #like i was writing things like 'fuck saudi arabia' when they were murdering houthis in yemen #but 'fuck israel'? #even though a little harsh language is least of what that regime deserves #ugh #i feel like i'm privy to the death of a dream that was never even mine. #personal #religion

here's a neat vid, go watch it if you haven't yet

there's Some things that i don't completely agree with personally, like attributing the Third sin to Materialism rather than Connection (i'd argue that the Ancients had no big issue with being materialistic, considering their golden attires and such- and that going with Connection overall better addresses both the core of Materialism and relationships overall) and then attributing the word Dynasty specifically to asian cultures but that's more history/word definition beef more than anything djgklsjlcgjkd

oh how i'd love to have a debate with this guy about Ancients...

#spot says stuff #rw #history fact: a dynasty was present big time around the years 800-1000 (iirc) on a large territory in eu which included slovakia #at the core of it per its definition a dynasty is just ''the same family ruled over the lands throughout multiple generations'' tho so its- #-not special or anything. with that definition in mind you can see how dynasties were also european things with all the kings and stuff #its just more often used for asian countries cuz they held out longer with the family stuff probably. or all the damn royal family drama- #-that happened there........ my Gods i know only a few chinese stories but Shit man there was a lot djgklsjgld #i wonder if identifying family members in the Ancient society happened through colors... like Sparrows n her siblings are colored from- #-dark blue (Dad's og clrs before turning grey) to turquoise (Inkling) and through this color coordination are the dynasties named #that's some fun thoughts #this video is prompting some neat thoughts.. ego is the culmination of the sins in short is one of them for example #did this guy actually come into contact with shkika or smth. the 'civilization before the ones we recognize as ancients' stuff at the end- #-sounds very familiar. -makes it to the end- Ah. The RW Discord. i wonder where that thought originated n who parroted it from who #�� personally making the conscious effort to not seep myself into the fandom Too much since i like thinking about this stuff so i dont want- #-any fan-based answers/speculations. just wanna vibe with it uninfluenced n see where that takes me. also the rw discord feels dangerous

Ethel Cain's songs remind me of Supernatural so much rn

case in point:

"it was a highway to nowhere, and we rode it // cold car with no gas and we chose it"

"our kids will grow up with half as much // trying to build something out of dust // finding out too late what they need"

- God's Country

"Jesus can always reject his father // but he cannot escape his mother's blood // he'll scream and try to wash it off of his fingers // but he'll never escape what he's made up of"

- Family Tree (Intro)

"i'm just a child, but i'm not above violence // my mama raised me better than that"

"and daddy said, shoot first, then run and don't look back"

"and baby, Hell don't scare me, i've been times before"

- Family Tree

and Thoroughfare is totally about two hunters chasing monsters through the country and slowly falling in love <3

#or maybe im just going insane #whos to say #also i really really wanted to put inbred there bc it has some of my favourite lyrics #like “im not scared of god im scared he was gone all along” are you fucking kidding me im screaming crying throwing up #“WHO WILL TAKE THE FALL? WHO OF US IS STONGER?” #i love it so much #buuuut people would have taken it the wrong way so #supernatural #spn #ethel cain #music #gods country #family tree #thoroughfare #lyrics

do you ever just like think about how terrible the united states is like the entire history of it from the beginning, destroying the indigenous peoples and cultures and expanding south and west until reaching the other coast using african slave labour and doing nothing to stop the holocaust until germany delcared war on the US (and rewriting history to say we stopped it bc we're the good guys) and nuking japan killing 100000 people instantly and then literally taking over the world and brainwashing its citizens beyond comprehension to think we're some modest country that Fights For Freedom and that everything we do is for the greater good of mankind .. and we obliterated iraq libya afghanistan cambodia vietnam laos korea guatemala el salvador nicaragua pakistan yemen etc and have a 1 trillion dollar military budget and army bases scattered across the earth and the highest incarceration figures of any country and a militarized police. and homeless people everywhere and no developed public transportation and healthcare is so bad youre literally held hostage by the healthcare sytem if theres something wrong with you or you just die, even though this like the richest or 2nd richest country in the world, its like so crazy.. not even 250 years old AND like idefk how much of the population is conservative patriotic God Bless America "pray for our vets" types.. american politics in general are so outrageous.. the settler colonial empire calling people "illegals" and deporting them is real funny.. god damn america sucks so much and its insane how insulted people get about it and say shit like "get out of our country then" bc theyre completely indoctrinated by american propaganda white supremacy patriotism. and making kids pledge allegience to the flag in school and lying to them and teaching them rewritten history and then going "look at how china and north korea brainwashes their people 😲😱😱" even though americans are the most brainwashed propagandized people on earth

#god idk i feel like so small right now i hate being a part of this #wish my grandma wasnt so insanely brainwashed by american patriotism and also the rest of my family #just feels so weird.. and we're so isolated from the rest of the world and our mainstream news outlets just #lie about other countries constantly #i was just thinking about how Fox News is the most popular news outlet in the US. which is insane #the US empire is such a fucking abomination and so unfathomably powerful

I can’t count the amount of times Republicans have looked at me with a straight face and said: “well, if we changed the gun control laws, it wouldn’t prevent mass shootings. Criminals would just buy their guns illegally.”

And I look at them and I say. Finland. Finland changed their gun control laws. And there were no mass shootings, from 2010 (when they changed the law) until today. None. Not one.

#I’m praying for the families of the 1 dead and the 2 injured students in Vantaa #one school shooting in a decade is still one too many #but oh my gods I wish I lived in a country where people TRIED to stop this #tw school shooting

my mum picking me up this morning: you're not as hungover as i thought you'd be

Thomas Andre/Lennart Niermann Au where Thomas met Lennart when he was young and still living in Europe with his parents and then they migrated to the US and Thomas who had been comfortable at one point then felt excluded in everything, got bullied, shit went down all through out highschool to the point where he became a ganster and in his last year he met Lennart again, the new foreing student in his class.

Thomas does remember some faint memories but Lennart is pure blank, black space completely because Thomas looks NOTHING like when they first met. And Lennart still has a cute pouty mouth and the german accent is giving him off a lot, he tends to have the same eating and homework habits as he did when they were young, were it not for puberty hitting him like a truck he would have been theliteral same child as before.

#solo leveling #lennart niermann #thomas andre #thomas/lennart #Laura in the back also being their childhood friend who met Thomas again in middle school or first year highschool and being like #wtf yo who t f is you? #THOMAS? #I do have this bigass headcanon that i was actually going to put into a oneshot but got deleted #that thomas didnt have a childhoof or friends growing up due to all the struggles his family was going through trying to survive in #a new country #and the oneshot was going to be about childhood shows from different countries being shown #and the gang of national hunters plus other s ranks having their reactions #lennart was just going to watch disney movies with him #yes that was also lennart/thomas oneshot as a stablished relationship #god i wish i could do that fic when i get the chance
