VERY RAMBLY BUT I think rose and martha are like the inverse of one another in terms of narrative, in that they both meet a doctor who is deeply deeply hurt, but the doctor interacts with them about it so differently, because of where they're at with that hurt, and the doctor is like "hey, I'm suave and vulnerable beneath the surface, which is quite attractive, want to travel in space and time in my whimsical timeship?" and they both go "oh heck yes!" and then it's like splintered glass from that point on, like martha lives in a funhouse mirror of rose's story -- up until she makes it her own of course and she does call the doctor out on it relatively early on, although rose continues to have that haunting effect

so rose has this bubble created around her that is perfect and unchangeable almost, in which nothing bad can ever happen (except for all the times it does but huuush, we'll be together forever forrealsies don't look at that big ol hurricane hurtling our way), which then inevitably bursts, but is always there-as-memory, because rose becomes something of an impossible ideal to some extent

and martha isn't protected at all, and has all the badness spilling out on her because the doctor is unable to contain any of it (and maybe is relieved to finally give up on being strong), and subsequently all of the promise of wonder has an air of sourness to it, and the doctor will always feel incredibly guilty about how it all ended

but crucially there's a lot they have in common, that is quite different to, say, donna (who is woven in in her own, interesting, way) -- they both become attracted to this powerful, interesting, and suuuper traumatised being, they're both taken along on a journey of promised wonders, they're both incredibly reliable to the point that the narrative is retroactively fitted around how much the doctor's belief-systems revolve around belief in their companions, with many others from the past given their dues (starting with sarah-jane), and they both do see wonders beyond their comprehension (and so does donna, but again, there's something a bit different there to poke at in another post...),

except where for rose this wonder helps her break out of the path that was set down for her and become who she always had the potential to be in a way that is mostly framed as a positive (although with some -- I think -- under-analysed caveats...) and she will be forever thankful for the doctor arriving in her life, martha's is more like an awe that the universe is so hostile and so lonely and so heartbreaking, and so she needs to become more resilient and more ready to make choices that are terrible (from travelling the broken world for a year to the osterhagen key....), and so there's another story about someone who becomes strong and tough (just like rose) but it's because the doctor wasn't really able to be there for her, and while I don't think the show (from memory) ever has her totally regretting the doctor dropping into her life, there for sure is some solemnity to how her story ends, a bit of a dampener in comparison (even tbh in comparison to donna, who yeah, gets her memory taken, but is suggested -- now confirmed perhaps? -- to get more of her life in order/feel more self-confident, also partially because of that subliminal influence of her time with the doctor)

and this isn't to say that it's all-bad for martha! her working for UNIT and Torchwood has a lot of very interesting facets to it, and she is fulfilling her potential to be this impressive, capable person, but the ways all of this was built up to is so heartrending

rose coming in and "saving" the doctor, except it was a bit of a lie, because the second she wasn't there they crashed even harder than before, and martha coming in with the idea that she could save the doctor and walking away when realising what it was doing to her life, and both rose and martha irrevocably changed to the point that the person pre-doctor is barely recognisable in them anymore, both take on the doctor's self-sacrificial traits...

and also the idea that rose gets the fantasy, but it's the fantasy a-bit-to-the-left (funhouse again) because there's always something a bit disconcerting about the lengths the doctor goes to to maintain the bubble, to the point of offering up the alternate-him/tentoo so that she can still have it, even though the actual physical doctor that shared it with her isn't actually there! and martha gets the glimpse of the fantasy, and then has to come to terms with the fact that she's not the person it's "for" and reassess her relationship to the idea of a fantasy in the first place (it helps that martha is an incredibly practical, pragmatic person, but it's still so... ouch)

I don't think it was intentional, but this also fascinating from the perspective of rose as a white woman and martha as a black woman -- who is the fantasy for, to the extent that strange and universe-breaking events go into maintaining it, and who has to be practical and pragmatic and self-reliant?

and also, it's got more tragedy in both cases -- rose as a spectre/haunter of the narrative is always a little bit intangible when she's looked back on (even though in the story she's in she's incredibly real and well-rounded, every time I go back to s1 I am struck by how grounded she is in reality), and I think that's something interesting in terms of her mother's warning in s2, how if she travels with the doctor "forever" she'll become something else, something not her

and martha's mother warns her as well, although she's not completely sure of what, and in contrast to rose this warning comes into very painful fruition, harming her entire family (except, maybe her brother? I wonder if there's anything written about that), but where rose is so omnipresent, martha tries several times to take herself out

(also something about both of their mothers being their anchor-points)

there's something there that's at the centre of both rose's and martha's arcs:

is the change they're going through because of the doctor... good? good for them? good for their families? good as in they're becoming better people than before? good for the world they inhabit? is it good for the person they used to be? did they become better than that person? can they ever truly deal with or even begin to comprehend how these events made them who they are? can they even connect who they are now to who they were then? was this good?

they both become these larger-than-life people, somewhat without noticing on both parts (but the narrative does notice), one of them a ghost, and the other a soldier -- one of them an increasingly intangible, ever-present idea, and the other someone who has to fight every step of the way

it's just a bunch of things I've had going through my head that I can't quite formulate in coherent essay-like sentences, but for sure it's there

opposite sides of the coin, rose tyler and martha jones

I do wish they'd had space in the story for them to talk

#martha jones #rose tyler #doctor who #dw #i also wish they'd had space in the narrative for them to make out but youknow #i know that rose and tentoo is generally interpreted as a net-positive -- including in a subsequent comic #but it was always very eerie to me #this also to deal with the fact that while i looove martha's arc in s4 #hers was the weakest goodbye scene in the final episode imo #because the pair the spares makes it seem like there wasn't a lot of thought put into it/where she is now #and like sure they're both hanging out with jack at torchwood but it's so out of the blue #and then she finishes up with a gun in her hand -- far cry from where we met her even in poison sky #working for UNIT but! --- but does fit somewhat from where we saw her end s4 when she was ready to destroy the world #but it's still sort of disconnected from the story? why is she there? why is there a sontaran there? why gun and not medicine? questions #questions for which the answer presumably was: because she looks badass but i need More than that! I need Answers! #argh martha i want so badly for them to at least mention you in the specials. where are you 🥺🥺🥺 #gun to your head rtd do it! #doctor who meta

I don't understand why it's generally not socially acceptable to recognize your good qualities. Like I don't understand why it's bad to be a show-off or a know-it-all or to brag. Like I think most people know "those things = bad" but not why.

It also seems like people are always either waaaaay into one end of the scale where they are just so unbearably full of themselves and have preposterously high self esteem (and most people act like this is fine too? Like a lot of celebrities and white men specifically seem to be like this) and I don't understand why so many people respect them then. Or they're the complete opposite with self esteem way too low despite the fact that they have redeeming qualities.

I feel like maybe the reason it's considered bad to brag is because you might 'make' other people feel inadequate but see that seems like a stupid reason to me because the problem then is not that you stated an opinion of your own self worth but is actually that everyone else is conditioned to compare themselves to each other in a very unhealthy way. And I think instead of discouraging people from opening up about what they take pride in, what they like about themselves, what makes them feel happy or content or confident, maybe we could just be discouraging people from viewing those things as personal threats? Idk just trying to formulate some thoughts on this

#idk why but this feels like a very convoluted topic #like so many people are probably coming from different starting positions on this than i am and im afraid that might #make it be misinterpreted or something #like i feel like there definitely is a balance where some self esteem is too little and some is too much #it just feels like it is exceedingly rare to find anyone with ideal realistic self esteem and idk why #i also dont mean this in a way to say that every action is the responsibility of the people taking offense either #because obviously thats not how that works. its understandable to demand a certain amount of respect #and to accept that your words (even the ones you say about yourself) could negatively impact other people #and thats not necessarily on them for being defensive #idk social concepts are strange and foreign to me so im still figuring this stuff out and through an autistic lense to boot #so sometimes i feel a bit like im conducting a study or an experiment more than writing a blog post #im just trying to understand people because i need to #it seems like the overwhelming majority of allistics have absolutely no interest in why they do the things that they do #so i have to go around experimenting instead of asking direct questions about this stuff #because when i do ask direct questions they look at me like i just asked them if the sky is actually blue or if its just gasses up there #in case you are not the most common dimwit. the sky is both of those things. however when you ask someone a question #phrased like that about a topic they dont want to admit they dont know about. they will usually avoid the question or answer absurdly #its actually kinda funny you should try it sometime #now im distracted because i dont know enough about how the sky works and i need to know #anyways gonna go down a research rabbit hole methinks

[that-foul-legacy-lover]

oh my god what happened?? are you alright? do you need any help?

alright i will preface this by saying that physically, i am COMPLETELY FINE. please don't worry about me too much, i promise i'm physically okay and it's not that bad

the rest is under the cut not for length but in case people want to skip past it (warning for people being unpleasant)

so the short story is that someone i thought was an online friend suddenly sent me a pretty awful DM before blocking me. they said a lot of genuinely hurtful things which wasn't really good for my mental state since they preyed on a bunch of my insecurities, and i thought that i could trust this person. i'm doing better now thanks to my irl friends, but recovery is a process as usual. i'm not sure if you can really help apart from being emotional support, but your concern is appreciated nonetheless <3

#not brainrot #anon #btw if anyone wants me to put any trigger warnings just tell me and i'll get right on it #and people WONDER why i have trust issues especially with people online #they also had the gall to bring up my Foul Legacy addiction which is just so low #in case you haven't noticed i'm not the most confident person in the world and this whole debacle made it worse #it was also very out of the blue i kinda spent the first morning in shock #nor was it accusations it was just 'lol here are all the reasons i hate you' so that's. nice. #guess they've been holding onto these feelings for a long time. wish they could've been a bit kinder about it #not to mention that some of the stuff they said was straight up untrue #but my irl friends helped me a bunch so big thank you to them #anyways if i seem distant to people online these types of situations are why #i know this isn't a SUPER bad thing to happen from an outside pov but i sure didn't feel good after it #just a tad sad #unpleasant things #uhh dunno if i'll post anything else today but we'll try

[reginrokkr]

𝐂𝐋𝐗𝐈𝐈𝐈. Today I woke up earlier than usual and chose violence upon seeing yet another couple of details missed in translation that make me salty, specially because they're related with Travail and, once again, with the subtlety play Dain is known for in many miscellanies.

So apparently, the first detail that I read up is that the use of thrones or divine thrones of Celestia doesn't necessarily allude to a throne of power, given that gods in Teyvat are pretty much rulers. But instead, it's more so related with the concept of "throne of destiny" given that the Chinese term used for both thrones and constellations are one and the same. This could give some room for speculation and wonder if, when there is mention in Before Sun and Moon that the second throne came and warred against the Primordial One and 3/4 shades, a new vision of the future was also brought. Which, for better or for worse, could fall in place with Phanes' concerns about the rise of delusions and more that comes with Forbidden Knowledge. But knowing what's happening and the premise that at least to some extent he's responsible for the mess we're witnessing by the hands of the gods: even though the Second Who Came brought Forbidden Knowledge, in terms of raw knowledge is it actually negative or positive? And my reasoning to wonder this is that the Abyss is known for delivering knowledge and it's also known that the Abyss acts like some kind of gateway to influences outside Teyvat, and the potential that some of these tried to enter or are even aware of what's happening but their way to Teyvat is blocked. It would make further sense if we think that its skies are fake as yet another layer of "protection" from the outside.

And now what concerns Dain, he's always tied with destiny in some shape or form. Starting from the fact that he was searching his own destiny when he lost everything with Khaenri'ah's destruction, to his title as the confluence between the past and the future (future isn't exactly a 1:1 of destiny, but they are related), the fact that he has something to do with reweaving all threads of destiny and rejecting this world, which to my interpretation what he's rebelling against is the fate / Heavenly Principles as he keeps saying time and time again that he's an advocate that everyone is masters of their own destiny, as in saying that it's not being the case as things currently stand. To wrap this point up, it's curious that the Heavenly Principles (sometimes interchangeable with destiny / fate) started with Phanes and that, if the Second Who Came is meant to represent a new destiny, the Heavenly Principles continue to predominate.

◜That (divine) throne (of destiny) in the high heavens was never a seat reserved for you from the start.◞

Reading this brings something new in question: what isn't reserved for someone is that they can't achieve godhood despite that's what it's said to be the case (perhaps godhood but with a shit ton of small letters that no one reads) or that it is their destiny that they aren't allowed to choose? We have a "Loom of Fate" operation undergoing, and a new interpretation of Lumine's quote of "I won't rest until the Abyss has engulfed the thrones" is added if we re-shape the quote as "I won't rest until the Abyss has engulfed the constellations".

◜But oh, you who oversteps your bounds, do not stop walking here. For none can watch the fire burn from the other side of the river. Watch...◞

This here is what makes me salty the most, and it's because apparently the Chinese wording of "overstep" can also mean "to usurp". While for now I don't have anything major to say about this, it's the subtlety play that I talked about earlier that makes me raise an eyebrow because in the past (recent and distant) Dain proved to have a way with his words that at first glance and given the timing, it's hard to pay attention to as something relevant but once more information comes that is related to that, it makes you realize that his word choices aren't coincidental and this is one more detail that sheds some light with that. If anything because any knowledge about usurpers seems to be among the highest most classified knowledge of this world (there is an interesting ranking of that, but the lore is too extensive to make one of those) and as always, even though he doesn't state it openly, he once again says something that only those who know about it would understand.

#◟༺✦༻◞ events to be remembered in blue veins ┊addendum.┊ #this makes me even more excited about him tbh #because for one I wonder again: how much do you know mister #but on the other I wonder if all of this is also from Irminsul #which would imply that Irminsul was a thing since the draconic era #and in case it isn't; granted that Celestia seems to have some power over it #as when N.ahida says that the prophecy of Fontaine was already carved in Irminsul a very long time ago #just how much of a big energy this man has #to be out in the wild like that shouldering the weight of lore jdfhg #this man deserves more recognition istg #but I guess that since with him it's all subtleties so far #hard to grasp #it makes sense

MOODS

Bea had told him before that Henry sometimes gets into these moods, where he vanishes into his mind for hours or days, not talking, barely eating, hardly existing. She’s asked him, way before the whole shitshow with the leak of the e-mails happened, whether he would stay with her brother during those times, too, whether he would love those moods exactly like he loves the other parts of Henry. It was a no-brainer.

You know what feeling the Red White and Royal Blue movie is helping me finally put into words?? The joy that comes from ACTUALLY getting to relive a piece of work I love.

By that I don’t mean that it’s exactly the same. It’s actually quite different on many levels. But that’s something that I actually LOVE about it. It’s given me a chance to be surprised by and relive the feeling the book gave me in a new and completely wonderful way. There is no one true perfect, right way to tell any one story, and they did a great job of telling this one in a new and just as enjoyable way.

Love you entire crew and staff and cast and directors and writers of RWRB movie, you’ve captured my heart again.

#rwrb #red white and royal blue #listen idiots I LOVE me a good and thoughtful but fundamentally different remake #I LOVE to see a story I already know told slightly to the left #it was a very good movie and while I feel like it NEEDED more time that it inevitably couldn’t have #the actors seriously seemed to pour their HEARTS out into these roles especially Prince Henry’s #but both of them and everyone embodied their characters #and there were so many moments directly from the books that made me smile but then there were also moments that were totally their own #and those made me smile too #I’m just really happy we got this movie #I mean it seriously means the world to me it’s literally queer history #and the message is beautiful and just the same and that’s what really matters #the only thing I cared to stay the same was the message and they just EIGHT SO HARD #anyways yeah obsessed thank you and goodnight on that #I won’t reblog anything until tomorrow at least #edit: I just can’t get over how much love for the original work you can feel through this movie I mean #THE TEXTING SCENES SHUT U P THAT ALONE #okay bye fr

principal difference between hellblazer/nbc constantine and 2005 keanu constantine imo, besides keanu constantine being american, is their attitudes toward food.

hellblazer/nbc constantine: pub food and hearty shit, meat and potatoes and stews and fish. appreciates a good meal, the effort/time it takes to cook it, and the social rituals that revolve around it. also has a taste for the finer things in life and will scam his way into high-end restaurants to fuck around and embarrass everyone there while eating goooood keanu constantine: runs on dunkin, lox bagels, and not much else. cannot keep things in his fridge or they will rot before he remembers to eat them. obliterates a mcdonalds hash brown in a single bite

#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS. #i just can't see an american constantine giving a singular flying shit about home meals or the family values associated with it #just Cannot be arsed. he's living at the burger king for breakfast lunch and dinner #also i Want to say that keanu constantine is a new york boy born n raised but nah. in my soul i know his ass is from boston #he does Move to and Live in new york after his misadventures in LA tho #it's a big Historical Site which seems on par with london for the kind of sordid and bloody political ghosts it evokes #which is very important to constantine's view of the world and who he is as a person #his family is a line of blue collar dock workers and his dad lost an arm in an industrial accident (canon event) #i also simply ascribe to the notion that keanu constantine has fucking had it with the universe and checked out completely #which doesn't help. he saved everybody once and achieved salvation now he's just. there. existing. it's the worst #food / #food cw #food mention / #food mention cw #just in case #( headcanons. ) I'M JUST LIKE THE BASTARDS I'VE HATED ALL ME LIFE. #is this a headcanon or am i just talking out my ass?

One day I’m gonna write a book. Can you imagine? A novel about everything that you and I have gone through? [Mariana laughs] It would be called “Ana and Mariana.” We’re going to be free soon, and we’ll be able to reinvent ourselves. So I’m sure you’re gonna write that book, and it’s gonna be awesome. We’ll see what happens. We have to let things flow, right? I think your novel is gonna be one of those that are pretty dark. Maybe one of those that are so romantic that you can’t put them down?

the seperation of lesbians and gay men is a travesty. "why are there so many historic gay bars and only like a handful of lesbian bars in the whole country" why are being gay and lesbian not the same thing in this context. you dont need to fuck everyone at the bar and it is a problem that needs to be addressed if these spaces arent mutually hospitable. and this applies to most gay/lesbian spaces imo

#its just wrong to assume gay spaces arent for women and if any gay men are reinforcing that it needs to be stopped lol #but a lot of it seems like very gender-biased willing exclusion bc they dont wanna associate with men #which um. grow up to you too #gender segregation is just evil period #other than intimate circumstances if you refuse to hang around people you perceive as x gender #its a problem you need to work on it's not just a right you've earned #now yes of course there are able to be specific cases of bars that are more explicitly lesbian or gay #but assuming if a bar is a ''gay bar'' its just for gay men is a fallacy... do you even go to these places? #''buh buh buh if theres a drag show drag is insulting to women cis and trans'' its not. address your revulsion #i know i come across harsh toned im actually more being flabbergasted that weve got to this point rather than saying hey you in particular #its just so strange to have grew up in the gay climate i did where the only lesbian flag was just lipstick lesbian and the girls didnt like #if you assumed every lesbian fell under it and to just use rainbow #and now people act like gay and lesbian arent synonyms because of gender seperatism. which disproportionally hurts members of the lgbt #community because they are more likely to be gnc lol #also a lot of individual opinions you just see the terf hand guiding. #and i HATE THE TOOTHPASTE FLAG!! #no pink flag for girls so blue flag for boys get the fuck out of my face #i dont want to superficially share my experiences with gay men i need community with gay PEOPLE

Listening to the botw ost and hyrule castle soundtrack just came on and now I feel insane thinking about exploring hyrule castle again

#i have said this before but my biggest wish from botw always was to have an opportunity to see hyrule castle at its peak and #not just from photos or cutscenes but to explore it myself #and in a sense we kinda sorta got that from age of calamity (which did make me very happy) but like. not enough #bc after all age of calamity isnt open world and there were hard limits #im like probably going to be a little surprised if there isnt a time travel mechanic in totk bc it genuinely seems. pretty likely given #what we have seen #but anyway id also super love jt bc that makes my wish an actual possibility lol #im so excited though!!!!!! #having not just two but THREE chances to explore the same zelda canon/world is so cool to me #especially because i love botw zelda and link and all the other characters and the world so much #im going to be so unbelievably blue after finishing totk i jyst know it #regardless of whether it has a happy or dark ending #everyone can have their opinions but i think theyve handled this all very well #and im also just so excited because from what little we have seen you can really see they went all in with totk #to make it good and fun with using their knowledge of the reception of botw and taking missed opportunities from it #sorry lol but i Have said like a million times tloz is probably my biggest special interest #im so not normal im so excited to see what they do theres so many possibilities #also weird to think ill be revisiting This hyrule bc when botw came out i was 16 and it was during the darkest period of my life #and like im not great currently but also im not.

I redesigned Stalyan to fit better with the costume aesthetics of the show, and also gave her something of a personality redesign as well! I think it would be interesting if she was more of a swindler, pretending to be innocent and helpless before stabbing you in the back. also imagine how ominous it would be if her first appearance was actually all in white like a bride like girl has been obsessed w this marriage for years

#tangled #tangled the series #rapunzels tangled adventure #stalyan #tts #tts stalyan #kept all of her facial features and hair color the same bc that part was fine it was just her outfit that didn't quite match the vibe #tho i did tone down her eyeshadow and lipstick a little bc i made her palette more blue #idk her outfit was just reading a little too modern to me? like everyone else has skirts that reach at least their mid calf #also i think this makes her dynamic w eugene more interesting #bc i hc that he used to have a thing for damsels in distress #maybe thats the wrong way to put it. i just mean people that genuinely seem to need help (and are probably easily impressed) #bc he's a good guy but he's also a charmer and a conman #and its very important to me that both she and eugene tried to con each other when they first met and got to know each other #but eugene got the drop on her and got away w whatever prize he was after before she could #and so she never got to complete the sham marriage that was HER con. and that's why she's so obsessed w him #art #my art #weaverofink #man the tags got away from me. but hey the art turned out pretty good #the show has a really fun style to emulate!

but !! this is a different person (tagged as [chroma blue]). look @ tags for context.

#ok so i went to study in a venice for a bit but a few weeks before i did i met this peeson who seemed rly cool etc . but then when i was #in italy i became kind of infatuated w this person who was rly rly unrealistic to know so i told the first person i probably wouldnt be #interested in them romantically bc i was caught up in other feelings etc and we continued being friends but she is just So Cool so it was #like. inevitable. i got over italy person and we went on like 2 very perfect dates and i told her maybe im ready to explore things #romantically now but then i realised despite how perfect the dates were i didnt feel that intense spark so i was like. nvm. at this point #it had been 3 months and i thought i was literally incapable of love bc this person [chroma blue] was perfect etc #anyway so they came over to hang out as friends like 2 weeks later and they were supposed to go home the next day #and they ended up staying over for 4 days and then i realised i was being sooo dumb by rejecting them #like it was lich rally just self sabotage and fear of loss etc etc. and like. we ended up catching a spontaneous train to a diff city and #everything we did felt like a date and at the end they were like u are sending so many mixed signals and i was like. yh #so i told them abt how i felt and like my thought etc and they were like. u know i have liked u since the day we met . x anyway #so we talked a lot etc and then met up again and like. yh. literally she ended up staying over at my place again lol . also like that day #was so perfect our first kiss was rly nice everything was just rly nice we did a lot . anyway yh #she likes poetry and art n she carries her sketchbook w her everywhere and she knows so much abt like. the theory and history of fashion #etc etc and whenever were in an art gallery she tells me sm abt what she knows its so cool. shes also #rly rly pretty and cool etc etc . en ee way #yea #asks #anon #she knows sm abt colour and light and shadow. she stays up reading notes left by old artists. #the second time we met she told me she really wants to paint me and then she said it again after we kissed for the first time. etc

The perils of loving true crime content but hating when it veers into either Tough On Crime right wing reactionary content or Weird Gratuitous Descriptions of Crimes territory. I find the first far more than the second and it drives me nuts that anyone could think prison will solve violence when prison in itself is a wildly violent place that obviously doesn't work. If it did the US would be Squeaky Clean Crimeless and that ain't true.

Seriously though I love true crime content but these days have such a hard time finding stuff that gives the facts of the story plainly without deciding to advocate for ridiculous prison sentences and a bunch of other copaganda adjacent shit is surprisingly difficult and frankly says a lot about the way we discuss, conceptualize, and react to crime. Especially when a lot of crime is literally just criminalizing addiction, a mental health problem, so fully defending and uncritically advocating for the prison and policing system especially when true crime stories are more often than not stories of police incompetence is just baffling. And no just because true crime tends to mean violent crime that does not mean prison will solve the problem any more than it would solve an addicts addiction and frankly I don't even want an ideological slant I just want the damn facts without right wing shit being evangelized to me. Wonder how many people even notice this shit, because its so ingrained in true crime content that it feels like the only ones who notice are insufferable blue hair pronoun using leftists like myself.

#winters ramblings #i fuckin hate right wing bullshit in true crime just tell me how shit played out and dont assume cops are always right #and that prison will solve the fucking worlds ills it wont if it did i think america wouldnt have a prison population like that #and the worst part is that this mentality DOESNT stop with child offenders!!! like are you KIDDING ME?? #any time someone advocates for charging a child as an adult i want to point out theyre presuming guilt over innocence #you know. that thing the justice system is never supposed to do. bc if you WERENT presuming guilt #youd have no reason to charge a minor as an adult for the sevarity of their crime. you CANNOT do that without assuming guilt #ill never forget reading yourube comments that said two TEN year olds should have gotten the death sentence #now they committed a VERY disturbing murder and it was very clear they were disturbed kids but EXECUTING CHILDREN?? #youd think you wouldnt have to tell grown adults how fucked up that is but apparently not #and none of them seemed to think thier advocating for the death of two ten year olds is about as disturbing as the crime #those kids committed. #i dont actually have blue hair for the record but still #also youd be ahocked at the amount of people who peoclaim themselves to be left wing amd IMMEDIATELY turn to right wing #reactionary nonsense basically instantly when discussing violent crime. like congrats you did not do the assignment
