we really didn't get violent enough about roe v wade being overturned. but and also - you're one person. you donated money. you went to the protest. you did what you could, which felt like doing basically nothing.

recently some big paper published an op ed (why did you even read it? you knew you'd get upset) about how it's gross that men can't find a partner because women don't want to suffer bad dates - they'd rather go to yoga class. you actually laughed - well, yeah! and it was funny until it wasn't, because something about it made your stomach churn. this is the thing, you want to say, but you don't have the words for what the thing is. just that men being bad at dating is your fault.

the thing is also on instagram. you don't know if it's a setting or algorithm thing, but these days, the most hurtful comments always seem to skim the top. simple reaction is don't read the comments but - you're human, so you're curious. you want to respond to every weird, sanctimonious one with replaying something a million times to find evidence they're lying about their gender is literally sexual harassment you shouldn't be proud of this or maybe get a fucking life you absolute dickhead but you've gotten into enough of these battles as a kid. nothing ever resolves. it just makes you upset.

your father was radicalized. the thing is - you go to therapy about it and yet never find the words for exactly the way that one hurts.

the other day your sister predicted that a commercial that aired during the superbowl was going to cause trouble. you wanted her to be wrong about that. this morning, while scrolling, you saw someone post exactly that - he got so angry i had to leave. it was terrifying. it reminds you, however bleakly: there are entire swathes of people who do not worry about domestic violence. who have no idea why you would put keys into your fist. who do not understand "it's better to be rude than dead." who have never googled am i being gaslit.

the other day you found out there's a bill that would make it so if you have a uterus and are braindead, you could fulfil your cattle purpose and carry a fetus to term. you think about the fact that the leading cause of death for pregnant people is murder. you think about ongoing and informed consent. you think about how, out of fear, if your ex boyfriend had pressured you, you absolutely would have said yes to it. in the comments, you write there is no way that these documents wouldn't be immediately forged. this is going to be misused. and then just delete it, sighing. get up and go to work.

the other day they overturned roe v wade. we weren't nearly violent enough about it. somewhere, a clock is ticking. it's been ticking a long time. you want to say it's time, but it's been time for a while, hasn't it.

#<3 time to get cancelled on the internet #btw this is trans inclusive author is nb #writeblr #i had a kind of argument with someone about that bill bc he was like ''oh but we do this for other organs'' and im like #okay so like the time it takes to safely extract an organ #versus NINE MONTHS of not having consent . not being able to bury the body. #my family unable to mourn. being used a host. #even if ALL OF THAT was NOT the case. #i do not believe for a fucking SECOND this would be use safely. i cannot imagine a world in which #it was not immediately and with gusto. used to abuse others

I have a request for batfam/Jason Todd fanfic writers:

I love the "Jason Todd is a bookworm/theatre nerd" fics as much as the next person, don't get me wrong, but can we please diversify his interests?

90% of the time when I open a fic with that tag, we see Jason reading Jane Eyre or Pride and Prejudice or quoting Shakespeare. And not to say that there's anything wrong with any of those being his favourite but even if he loves to read "classical" books, come on!

You're telling me Jason raised-in-crime-alley-spent-his-formative-years-between-an-eccentric-billionaire-and-an-assassin-cult Todd only reads books by dead white people?!

I refuse! Give me a man who takes to books more than ever after his return to Gotham. Jason, who reads books like I am Woman, A Really Good Brown Girl and White Tears/Brown Scars, then recommends them to the working girls as he establishes his territory. Who reads in multiple languages, and who loves Arabic poetry.

Give me a little "Robin is Magic!" Jason scouring Bruce's library and picking up a copy of The Mahabharata after he's done The Iliad, and spends weeks obsessed with Journey to the West.

Give me a Jason who's read Things Fall Apart, and One Hundred Years of Solitude! The number of quotes and references he could pull that would further support his dramatic tendencies? It would make him so happy!

#I could say something bitter about diversity/inclusion in fandoms in general #And how the lack of diversity in people's personal bookshelves is clearly reflected in how they write a bookworm character #who travels the world regularly but for some reason only considers literature written by Europeans to be “classics” #but i won't #ive just given examples of more diverse books that are considered “classics” but don't feel like you have to go that route #the point is to make him a diverse reader! #AGAIN no one come for me! I'm not saying those books aren't classics and he can't enjoy them! #I'm just saying #stop making it the only thing he reads! #batfam #bookworm jason todd #batfamily #ao3 #batfam fanfic #jason todd #nerd jason todd #jason todd fanfiction #red hood #dc #dc comics

Ray intends to die. From what he said, he's doing it so you and I don't get killed. He didn't include himself in the numbers. He's not escaping. Ray has decided to die inside this house. He's going to set himself on fire to distract Mom in order to let us run away. That's his entire plan.

But I won't allow him to do that. Not ever.

The inclusion of these two simple frames in the anime is everything to me actually

#i'm only slightly exaggerating #the manga has panels of him looking at Ray and reflecting on this too but I adore how solemn yet determined he looks here #to go with prev post bc always obsessed with this #The Promised Neverland #Yakusoku no Neverland #TPN #YnN #TPN Norman #TPN Ray #Norray #Norrayemma #Noremray #like vaguely because of her inclusion in the quote and my biases lol #FSS Chatter #Norman #Ray #TPN S1 #TPN S1e11 #Escape Arc #and tweaking a 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑌𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝐹𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑟𝑠‚ 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐿𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑠 quote that's originally Ray → Norman #but Emma and Norman were the ones who helped Ray understand it in the first place #[[𝑁𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑛] 𝑖𝑠𝑛’𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑎 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑟𝑖𝑑𝑑𝑙𝑒𝑑 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑒𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑠. #𝑆𝑢𝑑𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑙𝑦 ℎ𝑒 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤𝑠 ℎ𝑜𝑤 𝑖𝑡 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑝𝑙𝑢𝑐𝑘 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚 𝑜𝑢𝑡‚ #𝑡𝑜 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑤 [𝑅𝑎𝑦] 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑔𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑓𝑢𝑙.] #He wants him to see it so badly he wants to save him so desperately after a lifetime of despair and hopelessness #and it is so fucking endearing #that lingering unspoken vow of “I'm going to save you…” #with help ofc but especially poignant with how he internally berates himself for being willing to toss Ray aside for two weeks #and swift and fierce shifting of Ray back into the “dear friend who must be protected at all costs” category in his mind

the non inclusion of Kon here is so funny to me

like there is very clearly an empty spot where he could have been and there is literally no reason that i can think of not to include him. like does Ollie just not remember his ass. what is this. it's so funny for no reason

#it's not like the non inclusion of anita and slobo because dc likes to forget them #but like what did kon do why is he not here hello #more importantly #CISSIE IS BACK AND SHE'S NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT #this is great #i wasn't gonna keep up with current comics while i tried to get back into the habit of reading them #but I'm definitely keeping up with ga2023 it's fun and i care them #yj #kon el superboy #green arrow #tuesday spoilers #second's comic corner

[bucklikethedollar]

all the critiques of the “male presenting” bit in the star beast are valid and true (patronizing, kind of bioessentialist, etc) however i think we’ve been ignoring the funniest part of the whole thing which is like. he was a woman like three hours ago. you don’t need to give him a lecture about What Women Are Like. he knows. and even when he was a woman he still bottled shit up so your argument is moot anyway

#and like i know that rtd was making a very conscious effort to use inclusive language in the ep #which i appreciate!! congrats on Baby’s First Trans Allyship!! #but the way they phrased it as ‘male-PRESENTING’ people don’t know how to express their emotions was. weird #i mean if rtd went out of his way to include ‘presenting’ in there then he’s clearly at least somewhat aware that presentation and gender #aren’t the same thing #i’m fairly male-presenting (at least i try to be) but i’m not a man? #lots of butches could be considered male-presenting (oversimplification but you know what i mean) #there was probably even a time in rose’s life when SHE was male-presenting!! #i appreciate the attempt at inclusivity but like. this doesn’t make sense rtd aldjdbaqldk #bucky’s thoughts #doctor who #the star beast #tenth doctor #fourteenth doctor #tentoo #donna noble #rose noble

IN THE MANGA ZORO AND SANJI IMMEDIATELY START FIGHTING AFTER THE HELL LINE. WHY DID THEY ADD SANJI WINCING, CLUTCHING HIS HEAD, EYES TREMBLING LIKE HE'S SCARED??? IT VERY MUCH DOES NOT SEEM "GOOD NOW." WHY DID THEY MAKE THE SCENE EMOTIONAL? THEY COULD'VE PADDED OUT THE SCENE WITH MORE BICKERING! WHY DID THEY DEPICT SANJI'S LINE THIS WAY? WHAT DO THEY KNOW!?!?

#one piece #sanji #I AM ALARMED! #please he has gone through so much trauma already let him breath! #oda's mentioned he has weekly meetings with the anime team #i don't know how in depth their discussions are #like did he approve or suggest this inclusion??? IDK!!!

Fun fact I used to consume a lot of Land of the Lustrous stuff.

Anyways this is one of my many Land of the Lustrous OCs, Vivianite. Mohs hardness of 1.5, dark green/blue in colour, and very old. Due to the nature of his weak composition, Vivianite can't actually do much of anything, and has had to live under very specific conditions.

Vivianite wears a tight full body uniform to hold any chipped pieces in place, and is kept in a box stuffed with loose cloth to ensure minimal damage. If he comes into contact with light, he begins to oxidize and darken, so he's kept in a windowless room with curtains over the entrance.

That's all to say he's isolated and bored. He spends much of his time inactive, but he'll jump at the opportunity for conversation if there's someone around. Certain gems visit him to chat, get guidance, or give him the recent news. A task given to some gems is to clear his room of dust, and maybe bring him some books if he's up for it.

Vivian sees himself as an older sibling/friend to many of the other gems, and as such he's very keen on providing a listening ear and giving advice where possible to those who need it. He's essentially emotional support in a can.

Other notes/details:

not all gems know Vivian exists! He's hidden away so most gems wouldn't see him unless they were actively looking for him. A lot of the older ones know about him, but the younger ones don't

Rutile is endlessly tired of having to glue him back together so often due to his softness, which is part of why he has a tighter uniform to keep all his broken pieces in place

Vivian struggles with walking, he tends to be slow and stumbly

the tanks in Vivian's room are for jellyfish. Gems who are sent to clean his room have to switch out the jellyfish too. They're there to provide a faint light source so he doesn't go completely inactive

Vivian, despite living in a box in the dark, has a lot of technical knowledge about things as a result of millennia of going through the library collection. He' a living encyclopedia and can usually offer some answers if a gem has questions on a particular subject

his internal structure is basically a lot of shards stuck together like fibers, so he does minor repairs on himself by affixing strands of his hair into empty spots. He's had his fingers repaired and replaced this way often

In the few instances where Vivian has gone outside, he has an abnormally high amount of energy as a result of his inclusions being able to work at full capacity in the light

If I remember anything else I'll add it, anyways have a good day!

#houseki no kuni #hnk #land of the lustrous #hnk fanart #hnk oc #hnk bort #not mentioned in the main post but shit man Vivianite wants to perish 😭 #he's always felt like a burden as a result of his weak body‚ if it weren't for the fact he can't walk outside #he would've thrown himself into the sea to never rise again #he'd always asked Sensei if there was a way he could get stronger‚ and that's partly why he read so much in hopes to find a cure #when he heard about Phos' body getting replaced‚ he was both distraught and excited‚ because he felt so bad for Phos #but this was a way for him to become greater‚ if only he could just figure out how to guarantee it'd work (because otherwise he'd be #a burden again as they are forced to repair him and look after him through recovery) #that's also why he likes to talk with people; he can serve and assist others that way‚ he's trying to compensate for his lacking strength #tl;dr Vivianite is horrifically weak and makes up for it with his heart and mind in order to feel less bad about not being able to do more #also (unrelated) he tends to be touchy and holds people's hands/faces/hair a lot. He does this knowing the risk and he couldn't care less #also also‚ he has weird inclusions. What makes them odd is the fact that he can move them around and concentrate them in different areas #he's stiff cause he keep most of his inclusions packed in his torso‚ not his limbs. This also ensures he doesn't lose anything #by touching something and having his fingers (inevitably) flake apart #There's more but I'll save that for later. Good day ^^

Artwork by Keyboardkn0t over on Discord for~!! THANK YOU SO MUCH; their style is super pretty & expressive!!! I really love the inclusion of roses here!!

The glitchy effect on the title is super cool, & Vox is genuinely one of the creepiest demons ever. The glowy effect on his smile is super ominous!! And Alastor looks incredibly heartbreaking; you really nailed their dynamic in my fic!

#fanfic #staticradio #radiostatic #hazbin hotel alastor #hazbin hotel vox #Knife Through the Heart #Fanfic Fanart #ahhh thank you ilu!! #Vox is super duper scary here #I had a nightmare the other evening in-which I was a businessman was trying to sell me Twinkies #But he was an actual life sized Twinkie but with no face. I...do not like that pastry too much #I got off topic #I freaking love the inclusion of roses where Alastor's stab wound would be #It's so creative and tragic and very very fitting

anyone hurt by the bruabba news is the weakest link…. a true fujoshi pays no mind to the likelihood of the ship becoming canon

#jjba #bruabba #okay but seriously it like…. i feel this changes nothing i already knew araki didnt view it as gay lmao #sometimes i think u guys think araki is more inclusive than he actually is….

[hereforthe911buds]

as I go over that new sneak peek scene of the date, I don't see "I'm an ally" as Buck denying he's on a gay date or that he's not not straight, (I say since he hasn't said a label yet, but he knows he's not 100% straight) but Tommy's insinuation about internalized homophobia.

Tommy starts out with "nobody is looking at us Evan, we are just two guys out to dinner. nobody cares." Buck is so scared of being judged, as if someone thinking he is bi/gay could be a bad thing.

then Buck's relief at Tommy's coming out story, not being out when he worked at the 118, knowing Tommy came out later in life (still young imo) and worked through his fears.

but it's the "that I stopped lying to myself" is what causes some pushback.

"this is my first date with a dude, I'm not weirded out" for that buck acknowledges he's on a date with a man, that's not the problem. he is obviously uncomfortable, but he recognizes this new aspect about himself and wants to explore it.

the "I'm an ally. every pride month I put a rainbow on my Instagram" is more a I have nothing to hide. I'm literally on a date with a man. how could I have any homophobia? I love and support LGBTQ+ people.

buck is scared and even if supportive of LGBTQ+ people externally, he has some internalized issues (as nearly all queer people work through), and Tommy acknowledges it and talks him through some of his own experiences. even if I'm a buddie ride or die, I love Tommy. he's such a good boy.

#all of my uses of queer or gay/homo are meant to be bi inclusive #buck says this and then Eddie is going to walk up and he will most likely instinctively closet himself in fear #going to be so chaotic #911 abc #evan buckley #tommy kinard #911 spoilers

There's something to be said about Meta Knight having classically "demonic" features but embodying traits like honor and justice VS. Galacta Knight having classically "angelic" features but being an aggressive force of destruction and malice. something something Dark is Not Evil/Light is Not Good.

#kirby #meta knight #galacta knight #i just love galacta knight's inclusion in the series as a DIRECT foil to meta knight #like. ok listen #even when meta knight was the villain in ROMK he still clung to his code of honor #he tried to take over dreamland out of misdirected anger and even then he still maintained his desire for fairness via his duel w kirby #conversely: #galacta knight is heavily implied to be one of the Heroes of Yore who sealed away void termina #and effectively saved the universe #but he was also feared for his power and sealed away #tbf we dont know how GKs personality was before being sealed away for ages #its possible he was fair and just #but i personally am of the idea that his justice came in the form of a righteous cataclysmic fury #and that his code of honor was strict to the point of being outright draconian at times #so he was sealed to prevent the inevitable switch from righteous fury to simply fury #idk how to get my point across but i hope you understand my vision

Hiii! I’m so happy ur doing an event I love ur writing but I know uve been busy so I didn’t want to bother u with a request!! I’m a little embarrassed tbh i don’t really request stuff very often…

Ik it’s not what u usually write but how about a domestic type situation w maybe keigo and his gf cooking together and it leads to some passionate, loving kitchen sex?

In between flicking through specialty recipes on his phone and fussing about the kitchen with a furrowed brow, Keigo's attention is focused entirely on the heaping pot of soup boiling in your shared kitchen.

Well, nearly entirely. He would be completely focused, if not for his favorite little distraction within sight.

He could easily fetch the utensils himself with a swish of a feather, but he doesn't mention that when you offer to help. Your pleading look is just too cute to deny, he thinks; and like this, you work as his second pair of hands, handing him everything he needs before he has the chance to even ask.

Out the corner of his eye, he can see you perched atop the counter, slowly swinging your legs. You watch the expertise of your own personal chef with rapt attention, and he doesn't miss the look in your eyes akin to a grade schooler experiencing their first crush. It makes his wings twitch.

"It's real sweet of you to do this, you know," you start. "I know it's a lot, you don't have to–"

He silences your protest with a lingering kiss before you have the chance to continue.

"Ah-ah, nope, want to." He waves a wooden spoon at your direction before stealing another kiss, deeper this time.

"What kind of a boyfriend would I be if Iet my sweet dove go hungry," he drawls.

The second he pulls back and you catch a glimpse of those lidded eyes, a wave of realization hits you that he means it in more ways than one.

One kiss devolves into countless. He's determined to prove his passion with each one, firm hands gripping the counter on either side of you. Your little delighted laughs spur him further, a lopsided grin forming at the corners of his lips.

"Need me, baby?"

There's no need for you to nod. Keigo knows; but you give him a sweet shake of the head anyway, if not just for show.

"Course you do..."

"But the food, what if–"

"So little faith in me." He sends a few feathers off to do the busy work as he busies his hands and attention with tending to your arousal instead. Each little hitched sound spurs him on, and as he rests his forehead against yours, he resolves to keep his love satisfied in more ways than one.

honestly, there's probably a lot you can say abt c!dream in terms of losing even when he wins. because, tbh, this is...consistent.

c!dream is very intelligent and very good at PVP and these are well-established traits from the beginning of the server. he is skilled at thinking strategically and therefore is often able to navigate unfavorable situations to him in order to successfully achieve some goal of his. in terms of achieving goals, c!Dream isn't half bad in the slightest! but how do these goals actually work out for him?

in the revolution, c!dream successfully leads his side to victory while minimizing damage to his own people (and, sometimes, minimizing damage across the board: see him telling his men to hold fire to allow lmanburgians to retrieve their items.) the most amount of risk to anyone on his side is during the duel, where he ended up on half a heart to determine the end result of the war. and it's quite undeniable that c!dream wins the war--he gets to set the terms of the peace, gives them "technical" independence as he planned to from the start but says that he and the rest of the Dream SMP will view them as constituents of the greater server and gets both discs after c!tommy offers them willingly. by all means, on paper, a glowing success.

only time passes and as others treat l'manburg as independent, he is forced to do the same. "suck it green boy" becomes one of the most common catchphrases of the server when the independence that was granted them in the book that this statement was written was. literally given to them out of c!dream's mercy? and not out of their victory? he loses both discs AND significant leverage against himself due to various conflicts that involved people stealing from him and/or blackmailing him when he literally wasn't doing anything. l'manburg's ranks have swelled and the story established by it and its independence has long since drowned out any other perspective on the war.

then, in manberg/pogtopia, c!dream enters into the conflict from the perspective of wanting c!schlatt out of power. later on, remaining loyal to c!wilbur, he helps him to successfully pull off the plot to blow up L'manburg and also manages to obtain the revive book through a brief alliance with c!Schlatt. once again, his goals were successfully pulled off in no small part due to his strategizing.

and yet, in the long run, what does c!dream really gain? the revive book is something he evidently didn't know about until the trade with c!Schlatt, and the knowledge of it fucking destroys him. with both c!Schlatt and c!Wilbur dead, he immediately ends up as enemy number one, something c!Wilbur himself states later on. c!Dream, who had never really had any particularly stable alliances pre-manberg anyway, comes out the other side of November 16th even more alone than he had been before, publicly distrusted (not that he was ever really trusted, even by Pogtopia before he officially starts working against them because of the revive book, something that the content creator himself has stated was created purely to explain why c!Dream would switch sides.) the destruction of L'manburg is merely temporary. the plan to blow up L'manburg was c!wilbur's in creation, and considering how open c!Dream is about disliking c!Schlatt, I really hesitate to think that he was going out of his way to ally with guy unless he himself intentionally revealed the revive book to this end (like. c!schlatt is a smart guy, bro.)

c!dream is "secretive" about just about nothing at this time, besides I guess his actually helping Pogtopia (if you can call this guy telling the fucking Manberg cabinet that it's L'manburg, not Manberg, being secretive el em ay oh)--he's open about helping c!Wilbur with the TNT (and c!Wilbur you know, makes a point of doing it in front of an audience both times he asks c!Dream for TNT as well) in Vassal and then on November 6th, and that exact stream is also where he literally walks in the middle of Pogtopia to say hey guys. I'm Betraying You Now. like ???

everything he gains at this time culminates to 1) he helps c!Wilbur successfully pull off a plan that c!Wilbur himself came up with and wanted to pull off and does, to some degree, pressure c!Dream into agreeing with him about--even if c!Dream was going to give him the TNT no matter what, he does display a measure of resistance during Vassal Speech (whether or not you believe this resistance was genuine) and c!Wilbur responds to that by kinda threatening him. So. and 2) he gets the revive book by acting in service to a guy that was clearly established as someone he disliked and feared, and that book is also something that we KNOW scared the shit out of him and like ended up prompting a paranoid spiral that ends with him creating a whole goddamn prison to put himself inside. soooooooo. you know. and all of this is happening at the same time that his losses end up turning into "by the time november 16th rolls around and is over and done with most people either want him dead or are very very close to wanting him dead, cheers!"

then obviously, there's everything from november 16th to the staged disc finale. again, we see c!Dream pulling strategic plays left and right and achieving the goals he has--at this point, often through, uh, less than savory means. through political bullshit with NLM and well, exile, he manages to get the disc during green festival; through helping c!Techno against the butcher army, he manages to obtain a favor; through stuff involving the enderwalk and some kinda deal that im p sure has remained unspecified, he manages to get Cat from c!Skeppy; through experiments with c!Punz, he gets information on the revive book; through green festival, obtaining both discs (and therefore no longer needing to act in terms of political interests with NLM), and establishing common ground with c!Techno, he's able to destroy L'manburg through Doomsday; through having the discs + everyone hating his guts because of Green Festival, Doomsday, and to be fair everyone literally just hating his guts from the outset, he is able to ensure the security of c!Punz, the revive book, and himself by locking himself in prison. A lot of different moving parts, a lot of different goals, a lot of running around the server to get what he needs to get done done at the right times in the right ways, and he manages to con the server and put himself exactly where he wanted to be.

and yet?? and yet??? sure, he pulls off what he wants to pull off, sure he achieves his goals, but in terms of actually winning? he's paranoid and the paranoia just keeps getting worse. the threats to his life and the amount of enemies that want him dead just keep growing in numbers. he finally gets lmanburg blown up for good but you know there's going to be like 4 more factions on this server by the time he gets imprisoned. his friends ditch him and then try to kill him when he clumsily tries to communicate that he's trying to protect them because of the paranoia he has about everyone hating his guts, he explicitly identifies the reasons for people's hatred as having a lot to do with manberg/pogtopia arc where he ends up helping two dead men that aren't around for people to hate anymore, he pulls off staged finale and puts himself in a prison that ends up shattering himself.

like he achieves his goals--even if we're talking about the prison, even if we're talking about the time where things most thoroughly go awry for him because of c!sam's betrayal, you can't say that he didn't achieve what he intended. c!sam kept him alive, and would do anything to keep him alive--he might've been wrong about a lot, but he wasn't wrong about that. and yet. AND YET.

c!dream achieves his goals but where does he end up? miserable and afraid of literally damn near everything and losing his whole mind in the exact prison that he constructed to keep himself safe when in a paranoid spiral about a hostile world that suddenly made so much less sense than he was used to--alone.

like. wdym doesn't lose all he does is lose literally everything he ever had like 😭😭😭😭😭

#c!dreamisms #it's alllll fear all the way down #i have Strong Feelings about manberg/pogtopia too #but that'll have to go into a different post #i feel like. regardless of what you feel like c!dream's /goals/ were in manberg/pogtopia tho #it's kinda undeniable that he loses more than he gains? #i mean unless you're going from the perspective of 'well he kinda lost all of that anyway from the beginning by just being dream' #because to be fair how much of the hatred is even in direct consequence of what he does #even with the inclusion of the revive book it's like. all that did was make him more paranoid #when the ENTIRETY of manberg/pogtopia and how it ended up working out #really did nothing but make him . more of The Enemy and give him more reason to fear for his life #and meanwhile like what did he even gain from blowing up lmanburg fr it remained blown up for like a week #not even #but yeah like. even when he does what he wants. even when he wins? he's not really winning is he
