#protect the weak

[mbrainspaz]

that feeling when you're just trying to work on your passion project for an hour before your manual labor shift that you have to do in order to keep your housing but you get a text from your manager saying they're thinking of letting your pregnant coworker go because she can't do the work anymore even though it's her only income and the source of her insurance and the company owners are have been rich enough to lobby against national healthcare and welfare since the '70s so f*ck 'em honestly, please let's find a way to keep her on even if she never shows up because she's too frail and she's just a kid who's been brainwashed her whole life into thinking this is just how the world works when it shouldn't. It shouldn't be like this.

#working with conservatives is so exhausting all the time #life of a texan peasant #I can't with these people #we shouldn't have to live like this #protect the weak #we live in a society #capitalist hellscape #life among the fish people #creating black magic #sad post

fedra was a fascist dictatorship. the fireflies posed as freedom fighters but just wanted the power fedra had. kathleen sacrificed an entire city for a personal vendetta — kansas city fell bc of her negligence. david controlled his religious cult through starvation. in this whole wide apocalyptic world the only people that were thriving were those who lived for love. bill & frank. the indigenous couple. tommy’s commune. ellie & joel (at times). there would have been so many more survivors and so much more success in this harsh world if people didn’t make it harsher

#the worst thing about the apocalypse is the people who prey on the weak under the guise of protection & order. #the last of us #tlou

I saw an interesting post a while back that said “Capcom made us [Miles and Diego/Godot] only have like two(?) interactions because they knew we would be unstoppable with a brother dynamic” and tbh it stuck with me bc it was intriguing.

So yeah that potential brotherhood, but that Godot/Diego AU I made (that I still need a name for)

Also I bet Gregory Edgeworth would have smelled like a bit like coffee, and so Diego just reminds Miles of that comforting presence 😭 (the von Karma estate was a tea household, so he didn’t smell much coffee after DL-6 and didn’t realize how much he missed it/reminded him of his father)

Mia has to mentor Miles and she’s a little #hesitant at first because of how cocky he was in that trial but she sees that he’s genuinely trying to be better #also Diego would ask miles: you’re trying to be what von Karma wants you to be…well..what do YOU want to be? #and miles would answer: I want to be my dad #JUST LIKE IN MY 1985 ANIMATIC #ANYWAYS I’M BRAINROTTING SO HARD RN EXCUSE ME LMAO #ALSO MY FRIEND SAID THAT IN THIS AU (the one in the post) DIEGO AND PHOENIX ARE ENEMIES TO BROTHERS #and that’s the best thing I’ve heard all day it’s such a funny statement AND IT’S TRUE!!!!

no, but the way, cersei brushes sansa's hair with her fingers after telling her ilyn payne will kill her if stannis wins his battle, so they can all die together. this intimate, almost maternal gesture following a death threat. and then later a similar gesture is used with her actual child, when intimidating the king himself, her youngest, after threatening to have his whipping boy brought in to be beaten before them. just as she scared sansa, she scares tommen, also thought to be meek as sansa was. cersei only knows how to rule through fear but in these certain cases, she can sometimes mix in acts of tenderness too for a particularly unsettling combination.

#valyrianscrolls #asoiaf meta #asoiaf #cersei lannister #sansa stark #tommen baratheon #like with sansa she wants her as a daughter-in-law bc she seems unthreatening #but she also somewhat relates to sansa saying she'll survive humiliation as cersei did bc she's stronger than she looks #and w tommen his perceived weakness frustrates her as unlionlike esp as she idealizes joff after his death #but it also makes her even more protective of him to justify all her schemes and plots against her enemies #tommen himself wants no harm to come to his wife and in-laws and sansa no longer wanted any part in cersei's schemes either #(c)lsb #happy murderous meowmeow monday!

have we ever thought abt the fact that zuko is literally azula's older brother. like she's his little sister. that's his little sister. throughout a big, big part of atla plot, he was actively running away, scared of his little sister killing him because he KNEW she would/could. can you imagine that? your little sibling, wanting more your father's approval than your companionship to the point of death? every time they fought, zuko was fighting his baby sister. azula was fighting her big brother. this is making me so sick. they were 16 and 14 years old.

#avatar the last airbender #atla #atla zuko #atla azula #zuko #azula #hey look i posted a thing #the absolute maddening grief of it all. like what do u mean??? thats his lil baby sister!!! what the fuck!!! #when she was a bby he was probably so protective and they were so small n they must have loved each other then #before the responsibilities ozai put on them. before all that. they were siblings. they loved each other. #until they were taught that did not matter. zuko learned that it did again #despite all the pain of it #azula actively ran away from learning it from feeling that pain #because she would rather be hated and feared and powerful than to ever be weak ever #this is so heartbreaking #i think this hits especially hard cuz me n my sis are like 2/3 years apart in age. like. i could not imagine having to fight her to the dea #i just couldnt. i rly rly couldnt

i'm just gonna say it.

a lot of the criticism of ascended astarion fans absolutely reeks of misogyny.

it's giving "women are too stupid to understand that abuse is bad" and it makes me want to wring necks.

"you can't romanticise AA's behavior because that can lead to harmful ideas in the real world!!!"

a few hundred women finding AA's abusive behaviour sexy isn't why men are abusive, and adult women are intelligent enough to understand the difference between fiction and reality. ironically, this demonstrates that you don't understand the difference between fiction and reality.

where is that tweet that says "stanning reylo is misogynistic, but what do you expect from stupid fucking women" because that's what you lot sound like.

#you sound like a puritanical book burner trying to protect the “weak and impressionable female brain” fucking shut up #fandom critical #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #astarion #astarion ancunin #ascended astarion #i don't even like ascended astarion but holy shit dude

can't stop thinking about the way all of loki's brushes with death came from a choice. first the attempted suicide. then the attempted self-sacrifice. and finally a successful self-sacrifice, in which he not only threw himself in death's way but threw himself into the hands of his torturer, a being he had been hiding from for years.

people make jokes about loki always pretending to die but the truth is he is always trying to. he is convinced that his death will be a solution to other people's (mostly thor's) problems.

he is constantly choosing to die. his first instinct in any crisis situation is to solve it at the cost of his life. he doesn't seem to have any self worth or a sense that maybe it's better for him to live, and it's fucking tragic.

#loki #loki meta #there are so many root causes for this too #his belief that jotun lives are worth less #his fear of thanos #his unwillingness to show weakness #his all-consuming need to protect thor (even from himself) #he sees himself as an expendable villain to thor's undying hero #and it's breaking me apart

I love how Wolf Bruce was running around absolutely feral with his only thoughts being his primal instincts to protect Gotham and meanwhile Wolf Jason is prowling the streets contemplating his morality/motivations and questioning if he’ll ever be human again while in total fight or flight survival mode

#bruce: MUST…PROTECT #Jason: am I a hypocrite? do I punish others for the weakness I see in myself? what does all this mean? *rips bystanders throat out* #I’m having a great time with this event #beast world #red hood #Jason Todd #bruce wayne #batman #batfam #batfamily #dc comics #tuesday spoilers #my post

tsuna is the patron saint of the mundane, of the normal and common place, of the average and unimpressive. he's the unshakable believer of that being enough in and of itself, of that being fulfilling and fundamental to achieve happiness. and he's the unyielding protector and defender of the beauty and love and kindness within the ordinary, of the holy and divine and sacred within it, and of them being worth fighting for.

tsuna's the guy who makes the ordinary extraordinary from the sheer way he holds it so very close to his heart like it's the most precious thing in the world, and it's the thing about him i, for one, love him most for

#katekyo hitman reborn #khr #khr text post #sawada tsunayoshi #this is why he's THE painstakingly average teenage boy btw. that's the point #and why amano went the extra mile and made him /below/ average and 'dame' #and made it so he still went on to achieve all he did throughout the manga #and made it so he still ended up loved so wholly and unconditionally by so many people #and made it a point to show that was all thanks to things he /already/ had within him all along long before reborn showed up in his life #and made it a point to show he remained the same in that respect to the very end of the manga #and then of course he /keeps/ remaining the same even as he goes on to become vongola decimo #and i like to think that once he gains full confidence in the choices he makes and the things he feels and the stands he takes etc #and still there's mafiosi calling him weak and naive for being soft and kind and merciful and /loving/ with voices full of disdain #tsuna just goes 'you live like this? you've only ever been living like this? #is this what you really think life is all about? what it can only be about? what it /should/ be about?' #except he says it with actual genuine pity for them lol #anyway. tsuna said there's happiness and love and meaning to be found in the mundane and ordinary #and to be fought for and protected because they deserve to be #and he was RIGHT about it!!! <3
