#is to save 1 person

[carefulfears]

amazing that mulder came back to life not through god or science or the paranormal, not through any of the universal systems of control that he spends his life pondering, but through how fiercely the people in his life loved him. loved him beyond seeming insane or questioning the limits of the world, the way that he loves everything. skinner pulled him out of the ground because he just "couldn't live with the doubt." scully shoved her way past anyone to grab onto him, to sit and hold his hand in a hospital room for days when she knows he can't feel it, to stand in a surgical bay at 8 months pregnant and try anything (the realm of "extreme possibility" is much greater now). doggett runs through a parking garage, takes the hit.

krycek says, "we all have a life in our hands. i have yours, you have mulder's, scully has her unborn child. it's who's willing to sacrifice," and offers a choice, but ultimately they all make it out alive.

ultimately, of the dozens of people that were abducted and came back, of those that died and lived again, one remained human and flesh and blood.

#does everyone understand that it's actually all been about love from day one #'deadalive' is the other side of the coin from 'the truth' #in 'deadalive' it's as though none of the things they've been questioning or searching for matter #as long as they can bring mulder back #in 'the truth' the things they've questioned and searched for matter SO much #but only in the sense that they could save mulder's life. the only use of the answers of the universe and 'the truth' that they've #spent their lives searching for #is to save 1 person #and in the end even that doesn't work and he's saved through love again #through doggett and reyes and skinner just coming to GET him and bring him back to scully #who abandons everything in her entire life to take him somewhere safe #yeah #deadalive #txf.txt #this was in my drafts too including the tags 😭😭😭😭

I love you, trans people with intellectual disabilities. You deserve to have the same opportunities as everybody else, and that's because you are a person. You deserve to be happy. Intellectually disabled trans people deserve the exact same respect, recognition, and love that (should be) afforded to everybody else.

Intellectually disabled trans people, you deserve to make your own decisions about your transness. You are allowed to want for transition or to change your name, clothes, hair, pronouns, or anything else. You deserve support and understanding. I hope you are able to receive that. You belong in this world as your true self. Your transness and your disability/disabilities are not bad things - they are good, and they are important.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #intellectual disability #disability #disability positivity #trans positivity #absolutely *so* tired of people 'forgetting' that intellectually disabled trans people; 1) exist and 2) are autonomous human beings #absolutely hate hate hate the ableism of 'but we have to protect ID trans people from themselves :(' #no. YOU deserve to have a say in your life intellectually disabled trans person. you are a person first and foremost #you don't need to be 'saved' from the 'tragedy' of having an ID or from being trans... #...these things are neutral at worst. you deserve whatever support you want and/or need... #...but you aren't ever a bad person for that. you are loved. you are worthy. you are cherished. you deserve to be you

here’s the thing.

if you’re one of the people celebrating our flag means death’s cancellation for whatever reason right now, i need you to realize that this is just a sign that whatever you love is next.

and i’m not saying that out of spite. having your favourite show cancelled is awful, i wouldn’t wish it on anyone. but if our little-gay-pirate-show-that-could can’t get its third and final season, the future of queer media is extremely grim.

ofmd was the definition of a sleeper hit. hbo max had no faith in it when the first season came out. it gained popularity purely through word-of-mouth. but it became one of max’s biggest shows, and it’s since been marketed as their flagship series.

it was the #1 most in-demand series in the world for 8 weeks (7 of those weeks consecutively). it’s currently in the 99.7th percentile of the comedy genre, meaning it’s in higher demand than 99.7% of all comedy series in the u.s. it has a 94% audience and critics score on rotten tomatoes. it’s the most in-demand hbo original series even above euphoria, succession, and the last of us.

it was nominated for 16 awards for the first season alone, including a GLAAD award and a peabody award. the second season was just nominated for an art directors guild award, which it was previously nominated for and won in the same category for season one.

besides awards, ofmd is critically-acclaimed and praised for its representation (including a cast of majority queer, bipoc, and disabled characters) and themes of anti-colonialism, challenging gender norms/toxic masculinity, and self-discovery/acceptance. it also has a diverse team of directors and writers consisting of several bipoc, women, and queer/trans/non-binary people.

on top of all of this, the plan for the show all along was only ever for three seasons. david jenkins only wanted three seasons for the full romcom structure to tell ed and stede’s story. that’s it. nothing more.

this isn’t an attempt to make you care about the show. but ofmd’s cancellation isn’t just a loss for the fanbase and the cast/crew. it’s a sign that it does not matter how successful or profitable shows highlighting lgbtq+ (or otherwise inclusive) narratives are or how many big names are involved. ofmd would not have been cancelled if it were a straight romcom. they would’ve magically found the budget. but corporate greed doesn’t care about us. they have no respect for queer people or queer media. and in the age of streaming, it’s only a matter of time until we lose all of it.

#also if you’re happy that ‘taika waititi’s pirate show got cancelled’ because of baseless accusations against him #1) it’s not taika’s show. it’s david jenkins’ show. #taika is just an actor/director/EP #2) even if you don’t like him celebrating the cancellation of a show because someone was falsely accused of zionism #especially when that person (like it or not) is a huge voice for minorities and is the reason so many of them get to tell their stories #is gross and makes you a gross person! #ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd season 3 #save ofmd #renew as a crew #fuck david zaslav #queer media

saw some writing advice today that said "please please pleaseeee use Google Docs, it's so good and sooo convenient" and while that is true, google docs is convenient, for the love of all that is holy MAKE A LOCALLY SAVED COPY OF YOUR BOOK/MANUSCRIPT/FANFICTION. save it as a pdf, word document, whatever, but SAVE IT. twice or even three times, just to be sure. never ever everrr trust in cloud services. especially if it's google holy shit

#everyone put your thinking caps on please #personally I have my books saved on 1. Google Docs 2. as a Word document on my computer 3. on a second cloud service 4. on a NAS server #at my dad's place that saves my files automatically so I always have a backup

THE ROARING TWENTIES (1929) | Written + Directed by Taylor Swift *ALL-TALKING PICTURE* Flapper Clara falls in love. With a Princeton sophomore. Every night they spend together feels like a dream. All the social occasions, the scent of wine she tasted on his lips, dance floor reflecting broken mirrorball lights, tossing pennies in the pool, sneaking in campus, night walks around the Nassau Hall, joking about school dorms, long dinner that seems never end and sophisticated conversations. His innocence and passion. Her wide-eyed gazes. Breathes that felt too close in the dark. Finally, one day, the kid went down on his knees and pulled that damned rock out of his pocket. Will Clara say "yes"?

#taylor swift #tswiftedit #tswiftgif #lyrics #this is inspired by #FSF's #this side of paradise #but from a female perspective #i hope it makes sense #it's basically the 1 + champagne problems #and I feel bad for using an Amsterdam scene lmao #you can see that one is LQ bc I dont have the movie saved anywhere I dl'd that clip from Youtube lol #but that's also my fav gif in this set #that Clara (the protagonist) saw the window reflecting her own mind that she got married with the boy and she didnt like the sight of it #also that it could be her seeing her own ghost #what her life could've been #Amory seeing ghost is my favorite part in TSoP so I thought I should pay a sort of homage to that :p #the 'slave of your imagination' quote Taylor herself had quoted in 1989 era so it's essential in this gifset :) #(this has nothing to do w the recent news regarding to Taylor's personal life tho I got this idea half thru my reading of TSoP) #and it was so fun to use some old pictures scenes #they are: #mr. deeds goes to town #a farewell to arms 1932 #(which is a fountain & pool scene but it was too dark and covered by the layer of Tay & Sean kissing XD) #footlight parade #children of divorce #(Clara Bow was in the scene I used...she partly inspired my female lead) #the roaring twenties #userelena #userleah

you ever think about how sissel spends three chapters of the game back to back trying to save two deeply depressed guys with zero self-esteem? how he sees right through jowd's insincere self-pitying apologies; and how he's so promptly over the justice minister's disguised negative self-talk, eventually trying to set him on a better path by telling him to not go so hard on himself?

with hindsight, i'm surprised sissel never comments on it all feeling... familiar.

#ghost trick #ghost trick: phantom detective #ghost trick spoilers #sissel #jowd #justice minister #yomiel #(by implication) #a normal guy and his normal cat #analysis #every life sissel saves leading up to the final chapter is a trial run for him saving the 1 person he always wanted to save but never could #and not just in the sense of learning how to use his ghost tricks :) #and a bonus observation: isn't it so funny that the justice minister calls himself (in the third person) a ''contradiction'' #given which other character later uses that same phrase to describe their own existence? :)

perpetual mourning – batman black and white (1996) #1

[ID: a black and white panel sequence of Bruce Wayne as Batman investigating a murder. He performed an examination of the victim's body and found DNA evidence to convict her killer and then performed an autopsy to examine her stomach contents — which led him to a little 24/7 diner. He walks in, disrupting the cozy scene with his presence.

Bruce internally reflects, ‘People think i'm a knight. A savior. But in truth, I'm only a vessel to hold the memories of those who've passed on. Those who've no shell left to store them. They must think I revel in my victories. It must seem like I never lose a fight. I lose plenty. The ones I couldn't get to. The ones I couldn't save in time. Those are the ones I carry around inside of me. Those are the ones I'll mourn forever.’

He shows the only waitress a photo of the victim's face and asks, “Excuse me. Do any of you know this woman?” The waitress gasps and holds her hand to her head in shocked distress. She stammers, “That's Chelsea, she comes in here all the time. Sits in the same booth, the same time, reads the same book... um, what was the title...? She, uh, left here only a couple of... Why do you... Oh, god. No. Dear girl...”

Back at the morgue, Bruce solemnly gazes down at the woman as she lays in an unzipped body bag. He thinks, ‘Luckily, you hadn't digested your last meal, Chelsea. There're only a few places in the neighborhood where you were found that serve blueberry pie at this hour of the morning.’ He carefully zips the body bag entirely. The identification label states she was a thirty year old caucasian female. The name ‘Jane Doe’ has been scribbled out to now be replaced with ‘Chelsea Rain’. Bruce continues to ruminate, ‘You only have your thoughts and dreams ahead of you. You're someone. You mean something. I'll remember. You're within me now. Forever.’ END ID]

#screaming wailing sobbing.... #‘People think i'm a knight. A savior. But in truth I'm only a vessel to hold the memories of those who've passed on. #Those who've no shell left to store them. They must think I revel in my victories. It must seem like I never lose a fight. I lose plenty. #The ones I couldn't get to. The ones I couldn't save in time. Those are the ones I carry around inside of me. #Those are the ones I'll mourn forever.’ THATS HIM!!!! THAT'S BRUCE !!!!! EVERY DEATH HE CARRIES WITH HIM AND FEELS RESPONSIBLE FOR #EVEN IF ITS ILLOGICAL! EVEN IF HE COULD NEVER PREVENT IT. HES ALWAYS GOING TO BLAME HIMSELF AND DEDICATE HIS LIFE TO THOSE WHO LOST THEIRS #HES ALWAYD GOING TO FEEL GUILTY FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO PROTECT THEM. IF HE HAD JUST SKIPPED THAT MEAL TO DO MORE RESEARCH. IF HE COULD OF #STAYED UP. IF HE COULD HAD FIGURED IT OUT FASTER. IF HE COULD HAVE SOMEHOW BE THERE... #JUST ALWAYS FEELING RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON'S LIFE. #HES ALWAYS GOING TO MOURN THE STRANGERS ON THE STREET JUST AS MUCH AS HE MOURNS HIS PARENTS !!!

Fucking ENOUGH “normal is actually the chosen one bc of the fucked up oak family” bullshit. Normal is actually the chosen one because normal chose to care

#Actually sick of it #Sorry I hate “normal is actually larks kid” theories and posts 1) you’re not the first person to say that 2) it’s bad and sucks #I just will be so angry if it’s canon it’s so dumb it adds nothing #I’m okay with the ambiguity I don’t want confirmation #Also I hate the idea that normal has to be the “chosen one” to save the world #It’s stupid and dumb who chose him #(I think there is some fandom bias of normal and this people are more inclined to make him the most “main character” by insisting he’s the #Chosen one but it’s soooooo much more interesting if he actually isn’t.

Seeing mouse man for first time i thought for a sec that you un-rabbitfied William tbh xD

Everyone un-rabbit that man

yeah!!!!!! un-rabbit that man!!!!

oh but that is so cool actually. i've seen artists drawing their favs differently every time until they're completely apart from the original character. they are so sexy for that tho

#my bsf said Hunter (my oc) looked like a version of springtrap and uh. #in a WAY. oh wait #IN MANY WAYS- he ressembles William Afton #not in personality though. (i think) #Hunter is a smart motherfucker but he is also a huge dumbass. #he's 99% robot boy. the other 1% is his human brain. (canon) #oh and i guess u could say uhhh that he died BJKAHJSHDKKWEL #[[[[[[ALMOST DIED]]]]] he was poisoned and to save his own life he became robot boy................ #oh but he did not kill kiddies. no no #he just kinda helped the government of his city on creating a series of high-tech androids to be sent to war............. #BUT THAT'S OKAY one of the androids he helped create is against the war and now she's part of his team. #(she has no idea what he's done but lets pretend i didnt say that) oh and said android is the only war survivor #(and yes Hunter is definitely feeling guilty about not telling her the truth okay. and yes he already has issues going on) #(one issue is that Hunter's machine parts are programmed to annihilate androids when his human self isn't consciousS AND I SHOULD STOP NOWW #SORRY FOR RAMBLING UIFGWEUIHJDKFGKERHJSDGH #starbstalks #inbox

The tyrant op scrangle mentions is the self proclaimed king of the world?

ooh hehe I like the idea that Onepieceworld Scrangle knows about a huge reveal like that!! I will keep chewing on this, thank you!!!!

for tonight I tried really hard to build on this or any op!Scrangle ideas and just never got anywhere...brain's crusty..... here's my surviving doodles from while I brainstormed 😔

#my 2 inconclusive ideas are #1) one of the geki geki no mi / stage stage fruit abilities is Story Awareness and therefore Scrangle knows who the Bad Guy is #2) Scrangle was given the fruit only a matter of moments before being seastone cuffed permanent style & therefore barely understands it #<- this was done on purpose to keep the fruits power in check. give it to a tiny weak person and then trap them. #sad but its one life to save many from The King in Yellow yadda yadda etc etc and so on #scrangle #1pc #asks #unsure if ill keep either thing auughhh

[violetdisasterzone]

here's my hot take for the night: way less people, if anyone, would misinterpret Maigu Ridge as rape if Shen Qingqiu had topped instead of Binghe

#like I cannot understand how you could possibly read that scene (and the aftermath!) and come to that conclusion #one person was conscious and making decisions and it wasn't binghe #NEITHER of them wanted it #much less thinking that scene was supposed to be kinky and sexy ??? #not to even mention its narrative purpose #not the Narrative Expectations happening in the Subverting Narrative Expectations book! shocking! #“but how is it subversive if the same things still happened!!1!” BECAUSE IT WASN'T GOOD AND DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING! THAT'S THE POINT #svsss #bingqiu #scum villain's self saving system #人渣反派自救系统
