society has ingrained in all of us that bugs are bad and evil and scary and they Bite You for no reason and Sting You For Fun and I would like to challenge every single person that reads this to try to step back and challenge those thoughts. CHALLENGE that knee-jerk reaction to kill every bug you see. REALIZE that killing it doesn't have to be the answer. it's fine to not want bugs in your home. but I see so many people whose FIRST choice is to kill it, even though it'd be easy to just cup it and toss it outside. why?
one of the greatest things that got me over my extremely intense arachnophobia was knowledge. learning more about the thing I was afraid of made me realize, "oh, they're just little guys trying to get by too" and I stopped killing every spider I saw.
and it's like. no, that wasp didn't sting you for fun. it stung you because it felt scared or defensive. no, the spider in your shower isn't trying to kill you. spiders need water to live too.
you don't deem a scared dog/cat evil for biting you, do you? then why are we demonizing insects and spiders for feeling scared? they are so, so small and we are so large. they don't know anything about us, they're just trying to live life. they didn't know they built their web in a bad spot. they didn't know they built their nest next to your door. please, show some kindness to these tiny creatures. I understand you can't let infestations happen or wasps build in your walls, but whenever possible, try to put bugs in a cup and take them outside. yes, even wasps. even black widows. if you want tips for safely capturing bugs, I'm always around to ask.
also, to those who say things like, "x bug eats other pest bug, so they're okay" why? why does something have to benefit you to deserve to live? shouldn't all creatures have a chance at life, even if they're ugly, even if they don't benefit you, even if they do something you don't like? what gives you the right to decide to take the life of any animal just because ahhh it looked scary? please. all I ask is you try to be kinder. it's okay to be scared, it's not okay to pointlessly kill things.

[ID: Two panels from Dungeon Meshi. The first scows Senshi clutching his face as tears start to spill out of his eyes, saying, "I've always... always wanted to have this soup one more time." He's not wearing his helmet in this panel, so his face is unusually visible, detailed and vulnerable. The second panel shows himself as a youngster, surrounded by his old mining team, all smiling at each other, one of them rubbing Senshi's head. Modern-day Senshi continues, "Thank you. All of you. Thank you." End ID.]
Holy shit. I anticipated some tragic backstory from the "I must feed the young ones" panels, but what I'd guessed was that Senshi might have become so devoted to cooking and eating literally whatever because he'd previously survived a famine and had seen children starve to death. I did not expect him to have been the child who was the sole survivor of a doomed travel party, one of whom was determined to feed Senshi first because he was the youngest, and that Senshi has lived with the fear of having inadvertently committed cannibalism by eating stew that he'd never quite known the contents of. I'm happy for him that Laios deduced and confirmed for him that it was griffin meat, that he was able to taste the meal that saved his life once more and remember the friends he lost. Seriously, I'm crying, and also earnestly relieved that while his backstory is pretty dark, it's not the type of fucked up I'd been preparing myself mentally for.

I've been thinking about one of the antisemitic canards that some of you goyim like to shout at us Jews. It goes something like this: "LOL looks like the Jews are becoming like the the Nazis, haha."
And I've been thinking about why you goyim are so incredibly grotesque when you say this about us Jews.
Is it because you are knowingly weaponizing the Holocaust, our greatest tragedy, against us? Yes, that's part of it.
Is it because you are being intellectually deceitful bigots? Yes, that's part of it.
Is it because your bigotry and antisemitism are delegitimizing the Palestinian cause, and making it harder for the Palestinian people to fight for their freedom? Yes, that's a BIG part of it.
But I think the most disturbing part of this lie is where you goys got it from.
Especially you leftist goys.
You got this lie from the Neo-Nazi, Richard Spencer.
You know, the Nazi who famously got punched in the face.
You also got this lie from the Neo-Nazi, David Duke.
Richard Spencer was one of the first white supremacists who popularized weaponizing the Holocaust and Nazism against Jewish people in this way (all while being a whole-ass Nazi himself). He uses logical fallacies and political theatre to advance alt-right ideas.
But then you goyim on the political left got ahold of Richard Spencer's talking points. You copied the homework of an actual Nazi, and ran with his ideas, and here we are.
You leftist goys have been secretly listening in on Nazis for fucks sake!! Despite knowing full well that they HATE people of color. Despite knowing full well that they HATE queer people. Despite knowing full well that they HATE Muslims. Nazis want everyone who isn't a white, cishet, right-wing Christian to fucking DIE, for fucks sake.
Richard Spencer and David Duke stand for EVERYTHING YOU HATE!
Except, apparently, for hating Jews.
You leftist goys have been going to YouTube and listening to Nazi lectures. You've been plugging your ears when Nazis say HIDEOUS things about every other marginalized group, but then when they start talking about Jews, you copy their white supremacist talking points VERBATIM.
How DARE you steal your ideas from Nazis. You are DISGUSTING.
There are so many VALID and LEGITIMATE ways you can protest against the Israeli government and their atrocities and war crimes. There are so many VALID and LEGITIMATE ways you can protest the actions of the Israeli military.
But when you steal your ideas from Nazis, you make it clear that you don't give a SHIT about the Palestinian people.
When you steal your ideas from Nazis, you make it clear that the ONLY thing you care about is seeing Jews get murdered.
YOU HAVE BECOME USEFUL IDIOTS FOR THE NEO-NAZIS AND WHITE SUPREMACISTS.
Great job, goys.
God. You make me so, so tired.

I like- realllly want more Holy Trinity fanfics- (A.k.a: Self-sacrificial bastards)
I'm thinking of making a series of loosely connected one shots that will be mostly filled with crack but I also want angst-
Im taking inspiration from multiple fanfics and I will credit them if I ever get the fic out-
I want them to travel world's and just- have fun with it-
Like-
---
"Cale, remember that one world where there were demons everywhere?"
"Yess..?"
"Dokja turned into a demon"
"THE FUC-"
---
"Let's become pirates"
"why"
"Already bought the ship"
"Cale how the fuck-"
-
"Hah! This is fun!"
"..I have never seen a world official look so defeated-"
*Dokja cackling in the bg because Cale took basically ALL of the world government's money*
---
If I posted the fic and it got a decent amount of attention, I'd probably involve the readers in what worlds they want to see the trio in-
I also want angst.
They're too busy traveling places and doing crap to notice that their memories are slipping.
How long has it been-?
Yoojin is helping host a banquet for Constellations and Dokja doesn't want to go as TMAD so he gives the invitation to cale instead. Cale makes his appearance after falling for Yoojin's puppy eyes and takes notice of a strange group that he has never seen before.
Constellations are flocking towards Cale because they've never actually seen TMAD before and he lets the strange group slip his mind.
*later*
"Yoojin why did you bring strangers into our house"
"...I felt bad-"
*Han Yoohyun who took advantage of his amnesiac hyung's weakness towards his puppy eyes*
---
When Cale gets thrown back into his old world (that he has no memories of) he's stronger but is also trying to find his way back to the other two
On another note, the efforts of search parties looking for the commander have multiplied.
---
This is going to make sense to no one but me-
It will make more sense once I actually start writing the fic lmao
..
Probably-

I’m looking for more merch but like less in your face Top Gun merch! It’s so hard to find stuff that isn’t in your face Top Gun, and I wanna support artists and creators but I need stuff to be on the DL so I can put it at my work desk without getting any questions lol
Yes! I would love more of this too! I don't know if my artistic talents are up to this but to all the lovely artists out there, this is for you!!
Most of my "Top Gun" collection is actually just a bunch of navy stuff that reminds me of top gun. I have model jets, old patches, ect. The only thing I'd toe around is challenge coins, as a first responder and coming from a military/law enforcement family, there's kind of a tradition about how you receive and collect them. I digress, however.
But I totally get wanting stuff that's actually Top Gun without it being in your face. I've had some luck on Etsy in the past, so I recommend there if you're looking.
Thanks anon! 💕
