America blowing everything up always felt kind of inevitable, so I'm not really shocked so much as pleasantly surprised that she did what Cory wouldn't do, and called out Jared as being a key part of the power structure that has been weakening Cameron at every turn.
Cory may have convinced the house that he could "control" America, but that was never really sustainable. I'm curious to see how Cirie and Izzy react if it (likely) gets back to them that America might be an actual problem.
So far, America has benefitted from the fact that the same low social capital that leads to people not taking her seriously as an ally, has also crossed over into them not taking her seriously as a potential enemy.
But America is constantly trying to get people to compare notes on Cirie & co. and come together against them. She doesn't want to work with them, she wants to take them down. Their slow-walking to accepting that cause they like Cory, is becoming another blind spot for them.
the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.
this literally never stops being funny like dog they made starship troopers with the Baby's First Satire cranked up to 11 and these people are still fucking dumbfounded that the creators don't share their politics
Tumblr shrinks it down pretty bad so please. please. I am begging you. look at the full sized image and zoom in. This art piece made my friends worried for my mental health I need someone to witness the amount of detail and effort I put into this

I always find myself wondering about the side conversations that must happen between the other characters while your PC is busy talking to the plot point givers.
When the misunderstanding is mutual but they’re both so sweet about it (coffee shop au edition)
Inspired by the tags below (originally on this post) from @blahblaheverythingisgay and @lovelyprincejehan accompanied by some thoughts:
thank you for bringing this GALAXY brain take to my attention 😂 this guy comes in, all cagey about his past and his scars, always wearing baggy clothes but complaining about compression clothes (being on the run does a number on your joints and muscles), picking out a name for himself??? OBVIOUSLY he’s trans right
They somehow manage to have like three separate conversations about it without realizing they’re talking about two very different scenarios. Andrew only was so wrong for so long because scars on their own (and even being a criminal lbr) are such non-issues that it didn’t even occur to him that Neil could be talking about anything less important than being trans lol
Andrew had his little crisis about it and landed pretty solid on yeah he’s still into Neil regardless, and yeah he’s still super gay. He’ll figure out the rest from there. The only thing he didn't prepare for was Neil being uh. Cis
