Thoughts on Misaki

Anyone who defends Misaki clearly doesn’t know how damaging giving a child back to someone like her can be. Miri is an innocent child who doesn’t see the ugly side of their caretakers. But she will. One day she’s gonna start noticing things- she already has, given the parentification we saw in episode 6.

I say this as someone who is very aware of the predatory nature of the privatized adoption industry and how the adoption industry in general preys on and exploits low income families to essentially sell babies to the highest bidder and how difficult adoption is in Japan.

I also know Misaki is a victim of circumstance but she still chose to keep Miri for as long as she did. While adoption in Japan is hard, it is not impossible. And Abortion is frowned upon, but still not impossible.

Misaki allowed Miri to get attached to her and then when it got too hard or she got bored, she just decided to send the child to her human trafficking father alone for money. That environment isn’t safe for any child to grow up in.

Of course, one could argue Misaki was trying to do what was best for Miri by getting her away from the environment she was in with her abusive Boyfriend and all that. But given the way she did it, and the demands she had, I highly doubt it.

I have strong opinions on this because of personal experience with a child who comes from a shockingly similar situation as Miri. And the idea of that child's birth parents suddenly taking interest after literally abandoning that child and expecting to take that child back from the only home they know is appalling and just entitlement of the highest order.

Also, anyone who says my opinion is based on misogyny, fuck you and fuck Shigeki too. Both Misaki and Shigeki can choke. The idea that people being hard on Misaki is somehow wrong because she's still Miri's mother makes no sense. Not every parent deserves their child. Some parents suck. Misaki gave Miri up which is already traumatic to a child, trying to take her back will only cause more trauma because it is- once again- ripping Miri away from her home.

Who's to say she won't do it again? Misaki abandoned her before, and got lucky with Kazuki and Rei. If Kazuki and Rei weren't at the right place, at the right time, Miri's father would have killed her.

Overall, Misaki gets no sympathy from me.

Also to the folks that say "blood is thicker than water.” Well, mango juice is thicker than blood, so what's your point?

#Buddy daddies #Kazurei #congrats Misaki #glad you’re not as awful as you could be! #kazurei weould never #even considering to lay a hand on Miri #but yeah #let’s give Miri back to the totally well adjusted mother who never wanted her #great plan #/s

In 2x01, we learn that Aziraphale saw the plans for humans… and also knows the universe will end in 6000 years. He says it casually, but those two pieces of information are so scary in combination.

Because how tf do you write the plans for humans, with the ending already baked in, without at least gesturing at the Fall(s)? Like, yeah, humans do most of it, but fallen angels are involved at some extremely critical points.

So, assuming this is an accurate retelling,

Posted earlier while musing, but actually now curious: The Almighty according to Good Omens... what do you all honestly think? I can’t decide their stance with all this.

Maybe their plan is aimed toward the right thing in the end, and they trust Crowley and Aziraphale to figure it out? Or do they even care? Are they the root of the problem or is it just a corrupt system?

We’ve got the usual options, but...

Kasia tried to warn him he was gonna die. Izek immediately was blinded by rage and did not listen to her. (And then got killed by the party, with Kasia landing the final death blow)

If you wanna read more in depth about it I have it underneath.

For background: Kasia is a priestess in the Church of St Andral in Valaki. She’s lived in the town for most her life, and totally doesn’t harbor secret confusing teenage crush on Izek, shut up. As the party has interacted with Izek and made their life in Valaki rather hellish, the party eventually meets with Fiona Watcher, who tells them of her plans to help keep the guards occupied so that the party has ample time to take care of Izek.

Kasia, being a little baby who didn’t quite understand, did not realized that he plan was to kill him. She realized this way too late into the agreements and had no real opportunity to voice her concerns over actually murdering someone. (she accidentally killed someone like 3 days ago and about got really freaked out ok)

Our halfling rogue also did not trust Fiona’s plan and refused to follow it, so Kasia felt a little emboldened to maybe not act as Fiona’s puppet.

The distraction was going to be letting loose the sabertooth tiger from Rictavio’s wagon. She went to see Rictavio directly and asked him if he knew about the plan/was a part of it. He said no; so she warned him that Fiona was looking to cause trouble using his tiger and he should get it out of Valaki so that he and the tiger can be safe from her machinations.

The party was not happy with her upon learning this, but ultimately had to agree to give her one opportunity to try her best to convince him to leave Valaki. She said no one else need follow her, and that she’d take full blame/fight Izek herself if he refused.

So during the festival of the Blazing Sun the group went about causing their own chaos to distract the guards and try to take care of Izek. Kasia snuck up to him and pleaded as best she could.

(I rolled very VERY poorly on persuasion - not that I think my DM would’ve actually ever had Izek be swayed by her, but hey I tried)

But Izek does not listen, and instead is absolutely enraged by her presence (she has been antagonizing him quite a lot, being annoying/in his way, or just straight up down to fight at any moment, so he really does not like her) and so he fights.

Our party does manage to paralyze him with a poison we crafted and then kill him. Kasia herself was the one to deal the killing blow. And so there she kneels in the rain and mud with his dying corpse in her arms.

“You should have just listened...”

She cries over him as the party proceed to kill the Burgomaster and meet the brides of Strahd (and Escher). She is traumatized by her first intentional kill.

The party leave Valaki

They really just drove across the city like this? They covered the 'Medusa' part of her to protect people and themselves, sure, but now she just looks like a lady tied up in the back of a truck.

I really like when at night you just "can easily stay awake until early morning and be productive" but when it's during the day you just... don't. Doesn't matter if your sleeping schedule is officially "okay". It feels like the need to sleep at an reasonable hour but not feel anxious for tomorrow because of work and wanting to ignore the clock will forever haunt me. It's the racing thoughts that I want to ignore by not trying to fall asleep. But during the day it's fine?

#ugh #lol i had to create something #starting now? #tumblr understands lol #i need to decieve myself and fall asleep early so i can wake up early and feel anxious in the morning instead ;) #great plan

*Spidey and the Sinister Six having their usual fight*

Doc Ock, landing a hit: You’re getting slow Spider-Man! Age finally catching up to you?

Spider-Man: You wish! I haven’t even hit my 30s! From those costumes I can already tell I failed to save you guys from those midlife crises! Sorry by the way.

Vulture: Watch it wallcr- wait… Did you just say your not in your thirties yet?

Spider-Man: Surprised that this spiders so young and spry? Well-

Electro: Dude I’ve been fighting you for at least 5 fucking years! How old even are you?

Shocker, joking cause he’s the only one who picked up no grown adult acts likes Spidey: Don’t swear in-front of the boy you don’t want him to pick it up.

Rhino: Christ! You’re tellin me I almost crushed some 12-year-olds skull all those years ago?

Spider-Man, regretting his quipping: I was not that young! Like just starting freshman year but-

Sandman, horrified as he’s the only one with a kid and dad instincts(as of my iteration): I could’ve killed a kid…

Shocker, genuinely curious: Are you even old enough to drink? Cruel to kill a man who ain’t had his first drink yet.

Electro: Please tell us you’re at least over 25 as of this fight. Hell, I’ll take over 21!

Spider-Man:….

Sandman, realizing just how young he really is: Oh my god.

Spider-Man: My birthday’s coming up soon so I guess it counts?

Doc Ock, exacerbated: It. Does. Not!

Vulture: What would your mother think if she knew her son was out here risking his life telling poorly constructed jokes?

Spider-Man, offended cause it quips slap: 1. My jokes are great 2. She and my dad are dead so-

Sandman, hysterical cause holy shit he almost killed a kid orphan: OH MY GOD!

#they now think he’s some homeless orphan fighting crime cause it’s the only thing he has #my fav hc are the villains earlier in spideys career are completely against harming kids #so to figure out the hero of New York was like a child they plan to torture before unmasking and killing is well #not great on their minds and little sense of morality #I wanted to write a fic about this but ao3 is dead so take this flash dialogue fic instead #I need to sleep for work #doc ock #sinister six #doctor octopus #otto octavius #the ​sandman #flint marko #the rhino #Alexei Sytsevich #the shocker #herman schultz #electro #maxwell dillon #the vulture #adrian toomes #peter parker #spider-man #spiderman

You know what I realize that people underestimate with Pride & Prejudice is the strategic importance of Jane.

Because like, I recently saw Charlotte and Elizabeth contrasted as the former being pragmatic and the latter holding out for a love match, because she's younger and prettier and thinks she can afford it, and that is very much not what's happening.

The Charlotte take is correct, but the Elizabeth is all wrong. Lizzie doesn't insist on a love match. That's serendipitous and rather unexpected. She wants, exactly as Mr. Bennet says, someone she can respect. Contempt won't do. Mr. Bennet puts it in weirdly sexist terms like he's trying to avoid acknowledging what he did to himself by marrying a self-absorbed idiot, but it's still true. That's what Elizabeth is shooting for: a marriage that won't make her unhappy.

She's grown up watching how miserable her parents make one another; she's not willing to sign up for a lifetime of being bitter and lonely in her own home.

I think she is very aware, in refusing Mr. Collins, that it's reasonably unlikely that anyone she actually respects is going to want her, with her few accomplishments and her lack of property. That she is turning down security and the chance keep the house she grew up in, and all she gets in return may be spinsterhood.

But, crucially, she has absolute faith in Jane.

The bit about teaching Jane's daughters to embroider badly? That's a joke, but it's also a serious potential life plan. Jane is the best creature in the world, and a beauty; there's no chance at all she won't get married to someone worthwhile.

(Bingley mucks this up by breaking Jane's heart, but her prospects remain reasonable if their mother would lay off!)

And if Elizabeth can't replicate that feat, then there's also no doubt in her mind that Jane will let her live in her house as a dependent as long as she likes, and never let it be made shameful or awful to be that impoverished spinster aunt. It will be okay never to be married at all, because she has her sister, whom she trusts absolutely to succeed and to protect her.

And if something eventually happens to Jane's family and they can't keep her anymore, she can throw herself upon the mercy of the Gardeners, who have money and like her very much, and are likewise good people. She has a support network--not a perfect or impregnable one, but it exists. It gives her realistic options.

Spinsterhood was a very dangerous choice; there are reasons you would go to considerable lengths not to risk it.

But Elizabeth has Jane, and her pride, and an understanding of what marrying someone who will make you miserable costs.

That's part of the thesis of the book, I would say! Recurring Austen thought. How important it is not to marry someone who will make you, specifically, unhappy.

She would rather be a dependent of people she likes and trusts than of someone she doesn't, even if the latter is formally considered more secure; she would rather live in a happy, reasonable household as an extra than be the mistress of her own home, but that home is full of Mr. Collins and her mother.

This is a calculation she's making consciously! She's not counting on a better marriage coming along. She just feels the most likely bad outcome from refusing Mr. Collins is still much better than the certain outcome of accepting him. Which is being stuck with Mr. Collins forever.

Elizabeth is also being pragmatic. Austen also endorses her choice, for the person she is and the concerns she has. She's just picking different trade-offs than Charlotte.

Elizabeth's flaw is not in her own priorities; she doesn't make a reckless choice and get lucky. But in being unable to accept that Charlotte's are different, and it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with Charlotte.

Because realistically, when your marriage is your whole family and career forever, and you only get to pick the ones that offer themselves to you, when you are legally bound to the status of dependent, you're always going to be making some trade-offs.

😂 Even the unrealistically ideal dream scenario of wealthy handsome clever ethical Mr. Darcy still asks you to undergo personal growth, accommodate someone else's communication style, and eat a little crow.

#hoc est meum #pride and prejudice #elizabeth bennet #charlotte lucas #meta #charlotte is a much less sociable person than lizzie #so avoiding her husband most of the time and not seeking out his company is more viable for her! #she also has more patience for people being wrong #partly i think because she kinds checks out and lets them get on with it which lizzie isn't too great at even with her mother #people have different needs like that's a thing okay #marriage #spinsterhood #pragmatism #like if elizabeth had to listen to collins talk for a few months straight she would be nearly insane with rage #he's not just a low-quality man he's a man designed to be the worst for her specifically #also note that because jane's marriage is elizabeth's fallback plan #darcy screwed her over personally by interfering between her and bingley #she ofc does not bring this up how could she #but it's intensifying the anger during the hunsford rejection i think

The Justice League has been working to dismantle the GIW for awhile, and finally found enough evidence to get them shut down.

Superman is picked to be involved with the dismantling of the base, and equipped with some sort of strange watch bought from a family-run ghost hunting business in Illinois. Apparently, the thing prevents him from being possessed.

He has, of course, ordered fifteen of the things.

Being possessed and used to hurt his friends and family has and always will be one of his worst fears.

As they circle the base, hidden and in groups, waiting for Cyborg to bypass security-Cyborg pauses.

They have someone.

A small-town hero, Phantom. They have him strapped to an operating table, and they're literally about to start carving into him.

Superman sees red.

Inside the base, Danny's waiting for the GIW thugs to start cutting into his duplicate so he can record it and get evidence to the Justice League, so that they know these guys are really fucked up.

He isn't expecting the ceiling to suddenly go missing.

He really isn't expecting to see a spectacularly pissed off Superman start towards the GIW agents while Martian Manhunter (calm down fenton don't be a nerd don't geek out omgomgomgomggggg) himself frees the duplicate.

Then Martian Manhunter pauses.

Looks at Danny.

Danny wills himself onto the visible spectrum and allows the duplicate to dissipate.

Unfortunately, in his effort to not sound starstruck, he just sounds pissed.

"Oh, so now you show up? In the middle of my sting operation?"

#dpxdc #dcxdp #dp x dc #dc x dp #phanfic #story prompt #great news this outburst calms down clark #because “MY sting operation” was not something he was expecting to hear #j'onn on the other hand #he is not calming down #because while he is eternally grateful that a child does not have to know what it is to be pinned down #and experimented on #he can still read the GIW agents minds #and everything they were planning to do #so yea #j'onn is still very VERY pissed
