China is building a new highway in Aksai Chin, India gave this response

China Plans to Build New Highway: Amidst the ongoing dispute over LAC, China has once again engaged in provocation. China is soon going to build a new highway in Aksai Chin. The G-695 highway to be built between Tibet and Xinjiang will pass through the disputed Aksai Chin. It is worth noting that in the 50s, China started the border dispute with India only by building a highway in Aksai-Chin. But…

reminder that more often than not, it's important to take breaks from writing instead of forcing yourself through it. listen to your body and intuition.

i say this as someone who writes almost every day. sometimes, that isn't sustainable. sometimes, you need to take breaks from your projects because you're tired from working on them. i have to admit that understanding when to stop and take a break is a skill in itself, but with time, you will master it. you've got this. if not today, then tomorrow.

today, you rest. tomorrow, if you feel like writing, great! if not, rest a bit more. you know yourself better than anyone else. so trust yourself to know when to get back into writing. and don't punish yourself for not doing it.

"...that's all from me. does any of you have any questions?" "nope! crystal clear." "kew!" "that's good! um... thank you for this discussion."

I have a headcanon that Jax doesn't like being alone- for himself or anyone else- and that's why he suggested Caine create an adventure for Pomni, and later, that they go find something to eat, since those activities would likely keep people together. It could also be why he made sure Gangle and Kinger would stick together, and hid with them after Kaufmo abstracted.

I have a few more reasons for this hc, but I'm not good with words and this already feels clunky to me, so I'm leaving it off here.

(ps I keep reading your name to the tune of 'go go power rangers'. It's not relevant at all but I thought you should know.)

Oh, I enjoy this! I can totally see Jax trying really hard to pull strings as subtly as possible to make sure people aren't alone.

I bet Zooble is always the hardest to convince to be amongst the others, it's probably why Jax was in no hurry to "save them" from the gloinks to cos those humanoid hashbrowns are from Caine's homebrew adventures, so they should be relatively harmless and a cause for mild inconvenience (which would mean Zooble'll be too busy to be in existential dread even if they were alone).

---

Also, I think it's neat that Pomni got sandwiched between Ragatha and Jax's two opposing attitudes during their breif walk to Kaufmo's room.

Ragatha likes to see the bright side of things or say positive remarks just to avoid the darker side of a conversation. While Jax, on the other hand, just teases Pomni for thinking her situation is still just a dream. It's like a healthy dose of "Technically, this might be shit for you if you're this shocked, kinda funny tho." and "You'll be okay... Probably, Certainly." (I didn't even realize my name had the same syllables as 'go go power rangers, I can't unhear it thank you for this blessed infernal knowlegde)

#the amazing digital circus #silly headcanons #AskCocoCaffeinated #I also think it's kinda funny that Kinger and Gangle actually DID manage to track down where the Gloinks took Zooble. #And that Gangle and Kinger took Kaufmo's abstraction pretty well after the news was dropped like a hot potato on them (literally) #but I think that's thanks to Jax strategically choosing Pomni and Ragatha to go with him to check on Kaufmo #Cos Ragatha has positivity of steel and Pomni doesn't know Kaufmo well enough to grieve his abstraction or understand what it means

So Kisame's often considered the fourth most powerful Akatsuki member, but the top three are pretty unanimously Obito, Pain and Itachi. And with Kisame's motto being survival of the fittest and MO being taking out the weakest links, it’s fascinating to see him end up as one of the most well connected members of the Akatsuki. And since the top three never openly get to clash, technically speaking, he stays loyal to all of them. He's; 

- Working broadly for Pain, Akatsuki's open leader, who wants to create peace through traumatising the world through a cycle of war

- Working secretly for Obito, Akatsuki's real leader (and by proxy, Madara and Zetsu, Akatsuki's real-real leaders), who wants to create peace through trapping the world in a dream realm

- Working day-to-day for/with Itachi, the Akatsuki's biggest name, most powerful field member, and a secret double agent, who wants to create peace through becoming the most powerful shinobi that's ever lived,  and through using that power 'as much as he wants', 'lead the world to subjugation'

So either Kisame is the ninja equivalent of the minions, or the dojutsu wielding top three of the Akatsuki all looked to him and went 'yup, he's Henchman Shaped'

#kisame #kisame hoshigaki #naruto meta #akatsuki #along with sasuke and yagura they're also the only people kisame uses honorifics with #despite being otherwise one of the most polite and deferential characters in the series #i hc kisame as being allergic to the idea of being mizukage or any other leadership position #kisame has one plan and that one plan is acting as a helper for world domination #the ninja world's number 1 dark overlord stan #outside konan breaking away kisame ended up in the final three of the akatsuki #and i think he'd do the same thing on something like survivor #like he's a physical-social-strategic triple threat #a 6'5 sharkman with a history of kin-killing able to completely blend into itachi's shadow #in itachi shinden it feels like the wording of itachi's dreams of peace get closer and closer to world domination each time it comes up #some of his wording even sounds very yahiko #so i think hokage itachi may have ended up looking even more like a classic big bad than missing nin itachi #it's no hokage hat but he joined akatsuki with a smile and it shows #if isshiki or toneri showed up in shippuden kisame might have joined up with them too

I think the moment Light's crush on L first smacked him in the manga (like when it finally rooted and started blooming in his guts) was when L was like "you're my first ever friend" whilst smirking into his teacup. And not because Light fully believed he was being sincere about being friends, but because he KNEW L was slyly teasing him and speaking to him on more than one level at once. Nothing more unexpected funny flattering and intriguing than that for him right then

#im thinking about this specifically because of that post about the girl getting a huge crush on her enemy that saved all her threats #bc that's basically that moment for light i think #light tries to squash all positive emotions towards others at all times when he's kira if they interfere with his plans after all #but if L does something like this to him then it forces him to think about his feelings in a strategic preparation sort of way #nay dare i say it basically is giving light permission to do so #he can now hold off on completely stamping out those feelings as soon as they arise #almost (he thinks) as a way to study his enemy and see how full of shit he may or may not actually be about such things #this moment probably starts a shift in light where he can allow himself to acknowledge that he maybe has a bit more than just #enemy feels for L you know #bc maybe L also is having other kinds of feels about him?? #whether or not it's true it would impress him as a bold move #and kickstart him having to analyze what he actually does sincerely feel for L #and maybe start reframing and recontextualizing a lot of their tense ambiguous interactions up til that point secretly as well #heck we basically see him doing that when hes like lounging at his desk going HAH if it's friendship he wants then by god it's friendship #he will get #and this game of chicken with L about saying theyre friends keeps him from being able to completely avoid confronting #any complicated feels #like he otherwise probably would #because he legit cant back down from preparing for another battle of the wits with L #both because of his competitive pride and his genuine need to protect himself #would he call it a crush to himself yet #no probably not #i feel like that came later much later #he def would have acknowledged it as such by the end of the story tho #essentially L found a way to create a little wedge to ram in the door to Light's feels #and that is a smart enough move to probably have made Light start developing a crush on him even if he didn't have one already #l lawliet #light yagami #lawlight #p

the girlbossification of ruth bader ginsburg has to be one of the most just plain annoying aspects of white liberal feminism. like it's not as actively harmful as a lot of other shit obviously. but it is soooooo annoying. if I never see another notorious rbg tote bag as long as I live it will be too soon

#her opinions and amicus' in many cases were iconic! not denying that certainly. she is absolutely AMONG the better justices in us history #HOWEVER her record on policing/the carceral system is very bad! genuinely bad! #and she just would not hold the conservative justices accountable. her and kagan are way too placating #and then she refused to retire in 2009 when there was a sitting democratic president and a fucking DEMOCRATIC SUPER MAJORITY #saying basically that no one else could do the job as well as her which is insane because sotomayor and KBJ literally are better :/ #its also unbelievably conceited and just incredibly fucking selfish to knowingly doom the country because you think youre hot shit #started ranting abt this at work bc literally any talk even adjacent to the supreme court will set me off abt all of us court history #and my coworker was like 'well i dont think its very fair that she had to have that much riding on her decision to retire' #it literally is fair because that is the fucking job that she signed up for. this has literally always been how it fucking works #its a lifetime appointment. you either die unexpectedly or retire strategically #she accepted a position in which the entire country would depend on her but its not fair for the entire country to depend on her??? #bullshit #im not fucking buying it. she did this knowing roe would likely be struck down as a result #she should absolutely be held accountable for that lmfao. you can know that she had a hand in a lot of great decisions for this country #while also knowing that she did a fucked up and extremely selfish thing

Roommate Routine <3

Chubby Jungkook does a self care routine on Sunday afternoons and slathers body butter over his belly, hips, and thighs. He rubs it into his stretched, sensitive skin and admires his silky soft shape. All of his curves have become much more supple once he started using skin oils and lotions to ease the uncomfortable tightness that accompanied his delicious growth.

Jungkook pads out of the steaming bathroom thirty minutes later all buttered up and smelling like a cupcake, with a sheet mask on his round face and a towel wrapped around his tubby waist, belly plump and on display.

It makes Jimin's mouth water every damn time.

#Jimin strategically positions himself to be floating about their home when Jungkook does his self care routine <3 #So he can admire his fat pretty cupcake

Erdogan is a tyrant and a murderer of his opposition. He is the killer of Turkish democracy. How fucking dare you post quotes from him?

"how fucking dare you post quotes from him"

#to b clear diff anon than the one i mentioned just before #interesting how your gripe is with turkish democracy instead of artsakh #the democracy of *checks notes* a nato attack dog during the cold war strategically positioned against the ussr #founded by fucking ataturk #basically run by its intel agencies and the country where the whole fucking term 'deep state' comes from #yeah that democracy #*posts quote from geopolitically relevant statement by donald trump* how fucking dare you #like in case its not clear - my opinions on erdogan haven't changed whatsoever in the last week #the support palestinian politics has among the turkish working class hasnt changed so #kilicdaroglu would probably make similar statements

To be clear this is not a prediction of a queer romance in the show because I'd never put my hope in a Disney/Marvel production like that but.

I don't know whether to side-eye Loki S2 or myself for the fact that my genuine read on it four episodes in is that the natural culmination is Loki having to choose between Mobius and Sylvie. And choosing Mobius

#*sigh* #i haven't voluntarily sat down to any marvel joint for years #but unfortunately i do appear to be watching this #anyway best case scenario it does take this route and just frames it as a choice between friends #which wouldn't even be much of a stretch since I honestly don't read Loki and Sylvie as romantic even in season 1 #the kiss was entirely Sylvie and i think it was a strategic distraction #and before they were just disoriented by having a genuine and positive connection to another person for once and got a little confused <3 #alternatively and quite probably i'm just entirely wrong #because if fandom teaches you anything it's that you can never trust a prediction #no matter how well-reasoned it seems at the time #anyhow i do hope sylvie gets to go back and live her happy small-scale life #because helping during the crisis is one thing #but if the conclusion is that her moral obligation is to keep trying to hold the universe together #a sort of 'once a god always a god' conclusion #well i don't think i'd like the implications very much #loki

Oh, to be three tabbies getting all cuddly after a long day of screaming at God

#binx has strategically positioned himself to hog as much of the covers as he’s able #lucy must be as close to my face as possible every night. if she’s not tucked against my pillow then she’s draped over my head #peter’s the one sniffing the camera and purring. he’s just happy to be here #peaches screams into the void

would it be okay if u told me why u like aoki😭/gen😭😭😭😭BEEN TRYNA LIKE HIM FOR SO LONG I JUST CANTT but i love ur art so much so i still consume it otherwise lol

i liked tohru adachi in high school and tbh i think that alone is enough of an explanation for why i ended up liking aoki

#snap chats #haha see i told you last post's tags were relevant #anyway vLKVJEVLKAEJVLKJ IM CRYING ANON youre so funny. this is the funniest ask i coulda got thank you so much #i dont know why i like him either <- yes i do #fine lets get Real Talk about it #well first off all i thought he looked hot rolling out the elevator and i was playing the eng dub and i think his voice sounds hot there #and thats like. not athing that happens to me ever <- literally thought sawashiro was hot two frames into the game but anyway #i like politician characters. or characters that are in a position of power ESPECIALLY if they have to act like they dont suck balls #like i very much love the idea of the power of charisma and that type of thing not to mention the 'strategizing' as aoki puts it #that comes with politics. LIKE HE SUCKS DONT GET IT TWISTED HE SUCKS BUT //shrug emoji// #like its why i love the mine rggo stories i like seeing mine's thought process and how he uses his intelligence #smart's sexy to me idk what to tell you but moving on #its fun watching him lose his cool too ESP IN HIS FIGHT LMAO HE STOMPIN HIS FOOT LIKE A TODDLER SHUT UP #i also really love the arakawa family in general and thinking of aoki's relationship with each of them makes my brain explode #especially him and sawashiro that shit is painful to watch and i love it so much #i also thought him going from goth to republican was the funniest shit in the world like i howled at that AND i was distraught #aokis so interesting to me from the notion that he IS loved by his family but he has so much hatred for himself it eats him up #and as a result he cant be happy no matter what he does- how hes constantly seeking validation even if it's nothing meaningful #his lil. Dog-Eat-Dog world world belief to ichi also appealed to my edgy depressed high schooler brain. sorry. #his speech at the lockers also got to me. unfortunately. sorry everyone i empathized too hard it got too real it wasnt funny anymore #like as much as i complain bout the very end the ending is what solidified me liking aoki if not also cause of ichi's impact in those scene #plus... analyzing him and the environment around him is so much fun too.... #idk reasons for why i like aoki also boil down to personal reasons. he still sucks tho so i cant be upset when people hate him LOL #i probably have more reasons or could elaborate more i love rambling but i mean. who really wants to read all that 💀💀 #maybe for a character that WASNT the worst but. aoki is so LMAO #thank you for loving my art regardless :) im sorry i have to be attached to the worst guys ever
