Whenever I get emotionally stressed I relapse into unhealthy habits (bad eating habits, staying up way too late, increasing screentime) but gardening is definitely helping. There’s still good things though: the sky is blue, flowers are blooming, my plant is growing strawberries, and I have time to paint ✨Alhamdulillah 🌙

#Im only teaching (1) class in the summer god bless #and also Islamic lectures 🤝 those are helping too #and by increased screentime i mean renewed obsession with mr. kpop man 😔🥲 #you would think I wouldn’t be plagued by him if he is in the military but nope #but nope #notes #studyblr #studyspo

We like to talk about reading comprehension a lot on this site but no one in the history of humankind has worse reading comprehension than the people who were convinced to join the military because of the metal gear games.

#like these people played the games where literally every character rants at length about how becoming a soldier ruined their lives #and someone sees that and goes WOW WAR IS AWESOME SOLID SNAKE IS SO COOL I WANT TO KILL PEOPLE WITHOUT REMORSE GOD BLESS AMERICA #congratulations you have somehow missed the point of one of the most unsubtle anti war series ever made #if you watch the mgs2 GW patriots censorship codec call that’s just before the final boss #and don’t immediately want to destroy the us government for practically letting exactly what GW is describing happen today #or at least think deeply about it in anyway something is wrong with you #also mgs has been calling out video games being used as a propaganda tool for getting people to join the military since mgs2 #and especially mgs 4 which is crazy when mgs4 came out in 2008 and call of duty has been getting even more propaganda heavy as the games #go on #sorry for the larger amount of tags I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I needed to rant about it #mgs #metal gear solid #metal gear

Hello lovely new mutual!

Welcome... I read every bit of the military/PTSD story on your page, it was long, but an eyeopener for me. Thank you for your service @earl-jr Much love and respect.

Starting to realize that the reason I beef with Transformers canon and fanon is because it feels as if a lot of people involved either haven't read war stories as a genre or they haven't paid attention to real-life wars so their takes on "necessary evils" or "hypocrisy" or "pacifism" come off as overly simplistic

#squiggposting #djskdksjfs sorry i took a class on the war story genre in college #and am interested in the subject of war besides long before i got into TF #i feel like in general this fandom has a blessing/curse where the source material is sci fi war story #but individual continuities or stories have different genres or tones or takes #and like you can kind of tell when someone whose primary reading/writing experience is #something like drama or interpersonal or slice of life etc #and they try to write story/meta WRT war stories military drama or action stories #like you can just tell when someone is talking about 'war is hell' as just a label for a concept #and not like a full understanding of war and how it works and why #god i need to write my idw optimus war story genre protagonist meta so badly

Honestly, Fowler is the only thing standing between the Autobots and the American Government who'd happily deconstruct them and I think we should talk about it more, because outside of MECH Arcs, it's kinda glossed over. Like they're a pushy relative instead of a governing entity.

Anon I literally love you for giving me the excuse to ramble about it because you have no idea how long and hard I've been thinking about it. Genuenly thank fuck for Fowler because I do think there would have been people out there who, upon being put in his position, would do everything in their power to just fuck the Autobots over as much as possible as long as it would benefit the government.

Like, the Autobots are in a VERY bad place. They're working with the United States Government in exchange for being able to stay there. And I have no doubt that they could take care of themselves on their own, but once they made the deal... I'm not sure how they could just walk out of it.

I can imagine the government trying to force the Autobots to do their dirty work under the threat of breaking the deal. I mean, they have huge robots with vast military training and experience practically at their disposal- something that I'd imagine other countries and the vast majority of the world wide population doesn't know about. They would be pretty much invincible. Getting the Autobots to agree is the only issue that has yet to be resolved, and they have leverage. They can threaten the team, manipulate them- hell, they could have literally just taken them apart.

#asks #tfp #transformers prime #transformers #agent fowler #tfp autobots #fowler really was out there keeping the Autobots away from the government as much as possible. god bless #im writing a fic rn. not sure if it will ever even get published but this specifically is something that i want to include #the franchise has a history of being heavily focused on pro-military/usa propaganda so there's no surprise here but like. #i feel like even then there's a lot of nuance that specifically tfp could have acknowledged #WHILE maintaining the Fuck Yeah US Military ™ stance theyre so keen on #fowler is the only exception. he can be as patriotic as he wants as long as he remains based

antiope!mary and yelle!shannon send post

MMM!!

em i love this. antiope!mary, with her quiver of exploding arrows, absolutely begging shannon to have a single emotionally intelligent non-self sacrificial bone in her body. literally grabbing her by the shoulders trying to get her to have a reaction to serious things that isn’t closed-off stoicism (bc shannon isn’t superficially yelle, she’s not an outwardly groovy stoner funguy, but it's a different expression of the same thing, of throwing herself so hard into a Cause, and into the protection of her friends, to the point where she has accepted she has no worth beyond it). mary!antiope pleading please care about your own life, your own life, your own life—the world is better with you in it, the best thing that you can do for the world isn't die.

(please. i love you. i don't want you to fucking die.)

#hearing them all saying 'i fucking LOVE you' to each other #i think that would heal me actually #god bea having the katja scene with little bea... #bea holding her own hand as she sits alone on the train to boarding school. even if no one else was there to share this with you I was #antiope!mary to katja!bea. seeing that. knowing the weight of that. 'i love you‚ bitch' and taking them with her #sidenote i think there's also elements of antiope!shannon? #at least in the way u wrote her in tmlt #the military family #the weight of leadership #(the impossible but INCREDIBLY amusing image of them all going out wasted to get shannon a “Leader” tramp stamp...bless) #...being tall... #and then antiope's struggle with Legacy TM is much more lilith too #(what are you gonna be lily? are you gonna follow in the footsteps of all your family before you? be a good little soldier?) #but then mary and lilith also have a kind of antiope/sam thing going on that i love #(mary to lilith. you can't DO that to other people) #also katja!bea....maybe a touch of ostentatia!ava? ostentatia!ava with the provocative phone background that katja is supposed to see? #anyway em this post unlocked 5 million the seven feelings i had FORGOTTEN about thank you ur a visionary as always #the seven #warrior nun

People are being priced out of food, people are losing Medicaid coverage, people are going to lose the meager crumbs that is the SSI the government is so gracious to give the disabled, no one can afford a house and rent keeps going up, but GOD ALMIGHTY our seven hundred billion dollar defense budget MUST be increased or else the commies win! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

crying over weiss throwing her arms around yang in the camp

#no you don't get it that's her SISTER #team rwby was SO much more of a family to weiss than her actual family #like she grew up in a mansion where. her father was abusive. her brother always took his side and helped him to stay out of trouble himself #her mother shut down and was entirely absent from her life due to her father's behaviour. #and her sister was hardly ever home bc of her military career and she counted each of her visits as a blessing #she idolized the shit out of winter but she was still never there. weiss grew up almost entirely alone. klein was her only present family. #and then she joined team rwby and she suddenly had 3 sisters she got to spend everyday with and she loved them all so much #and she even fucking says as much when she confronts jacques and says '[these aren't] friends. [they're] family.' #god everyone in team rwby has family trauma #yang grew up with no active parent for a long time since tai shutdown after summer's death and qrow was an alcoholic #(like yeah both of them loved her but neither was a good parent) #(if she can at 5 years old disappear into the woods for several hours with a toddler in a wagon behind her without any supervision #while said woods are filled with monsters then im sorry the parents aren't parenting) #and after the loss of her mother ruby was raised by yang who was literally only two years older than her #blake got the best deal but she got fucking groomed into hating and abandoning her parents by That Fucker #and we know how much his actions fucked her up for nearly her whole life #team rwby is a family and i would die on this hill i am crying as i write this #(the best deal parent-wise her parents are amazing. not saying she got a better deal overall)

[boccadorata]

as someone who has lived in multiple military towns & college towns each militsry towns have such fucking bad drivers. like yeah college towns have a lot of inexperienced drivers but military town drivers have such a level of bubbling under the surface malice. anecdotal evidence yeah but i saw more crashes in military areas than anywhere else. and they're SOOO fucking rude on the road just car-body-language-wise

#neither of my psrents are in the military god bless im just an unlucky bastard #blabs #also my GOD do i have opinions about the car model choices of usamerican suburbanites. truly unhinged

[rawro]

i love the iliad and the odyssey because bringing them around immediately makes me look incredibly pretentious. thank you homer.

#bringing them to the military aptitude test god bless. #samael speaks

[muirneach]

leap of faith is such. an episode. they said we’re gonna give al even MORE of a tragic backstory as if he didn’t have enough already. like let’s throw in some religious trauma too (pt 1 cause you know theres gonna be more of that). okay then we’re gonna make sam a priest. obviously. right then we’re gonna fucking kill sam. but he’s okay god won’t let him die. meanwhile theres this fucking priest trying to murder a bitch. and it’s not quantum leap if we’re not weirdly racist to italians so let’s put some of that in there. what a show

#also whyyyy was mac so invested with sonny. like he was just some kid. yeah its sad and all but like. why was HE so invested #also sam slayed in this tbh #also whats up with tv shows and weird military priests from philadelphia who box. two nickels etc #its not a fave tv show of mine unless it has some weird irish catholic dude i guess #well at least mulcahy never attempted murder #anyways. what a goddamn tv show. god bless. literally #quantum leap
