#there's no truth behind my words

[pickled-flowers]

Some of you have never been the friend that No-one listens to and it shows

#hey. makes sure your friends get to finsih their thoughts #make sure theyre heard #it is so obvious when im in a group and someone wants to speak but doesnt get the chance #to see my own friends be the ones speaking over others is heartbreaking #there is a special awareness that comes with being unwanted in a group #its painful to know that if i wasnt so outspoken i too would not be heard #if i didnt look the way i did if i was a little less nice and concilient noone would want me around either #anyways #make sure noone is walking behind on the narrow sidewalk #makes sure everyone gets to express their thoughts and opinion #like idk. people see me as cool most times but thats just not the truth #how many times have i been the cool person until that coolness turns out to be something else entirely? #im not cool i am apathetic #sorry for this word vomit im feeling things rn

so , watching the ascended astarion epilogue right before the good astarion epilogue is so jarring. i fucking sobbed at the comparison — like night and day.

#ooc. #watching ascended astarion in the epilogue and all of the dialogue choices #triggered me so hard lmao #the manipulative language #the gaslighting #made me wanna crawl inside of myself and die #and then u watch the good epilogue and it’s just like… #🥹 there’s my baby boi #he’s so pure #so good #so happy #and he is saying almost the same words as ascended astarion but there is so much more emotion and truth and meaning behind his words this ti #time #you can tell he means it #ascended astarion talks to you like act i astarion #it’s all empty pretty words

Why did the author kill you off?

SOMEBODY HAD TO DIE. sorry, kid. really, honestly, i'm sorry. someone had to die, for one reason or another, and you drew the short straw this time around. this wasn't a matter of surprise. no, your death wasn't meant to be a shock, wasn't meant to rattle the audience to their core. your life was a debt, an obligation. somebody had to go, because the story needed weight, needed sacrifice, needed the conflict to have consequences. maybe you had the perfect balance of "emotional impact" and "lack of loose ends", or maybe the author just didn't know what else to do with you. regardless... you deserved better. another writer could have given you more time and a better death, if even a death at all. at least your fans will never forget- at least they will forge their own stories, tales in which you live to see another day.

absolutely yoinked off @hexsreality ♥ yoink it from me if u please :3

#⊰ ℜ ⊱ ┊ i see the truth through crimson eyes. ┊ DAMIAN WAYNE: CORE. #i knew the result before i even finished it #didnt know what the results COULD be but i knew it would immediately point the finger at m.orrison's bULLSHIT #literally a quote from the man: “[m]y plan was to kill d.amian at the end of the four-part story where he was introduced!” #then goes on to explain the only reason behind it was to “keep away from accusations” that he “made batman too old” #bman has been around since the 40s #in the 90s we had bman beyond. where bruce's an old man. #its ok! to have plots where hes older! and has children! #you dont have to kill off his son bc ur afraid of the fans #hell j.ason died because of a POLL to kill him off #dami was killed bc m.orrison was too selfish to let anyone else write his character #that HE BUTCHERED! BY HIMSELF! #his last words were 'we were the best r.ichard' & the last thing he sees is d.ick's face #which is. the best part of his characterization in the entire run #thanks to g.leason (iirc) for reviving my son a fucking /year/ later #tl;dr bman inc is the worst timeline but unfortunately its the basis for all of his current continuity #i forgot what else i had to sayt #if u read this rant ty & m.orrison doesnt deserve to write dami ever again or touch al ghul lore WHATSOEVER

Many who knew Henry well seem to have responded to him not just with awe, but with affection. Charles Brandon was, in 1509, just an esquire in the old king's funeral procession, but he rose to become duke of Suffolk on the basis of friendship with Henry, and ended as his brother-in-law. Thomas Cranmer, for whom the king caused many difficulties, held his hand as he lay dying, and seems to have mourned him sincerely. More remarkably, his discarded wives could still speak of him with devotion. Katherine of Aragon wrote in her last letter to him, 'Lastly, I make this vow, that mine eyes desire you above all things.' Anne Boleyn, on the scaffold, said to the crowd, 'I pray God save the king and send him long to reign over you, for a gentler nor a more merciful prince was there never, and to me he was ever a good, a gentle, and sovereign lord.' Anne of Cleves, often to be held to be the lucky one who escaped his clutches without harm, remained his friend for the rest of his life. These levels of attachment should warn us not to make easy assumptions.

#lucy wooding #ok so... a lot to unpack here and please no one reblog this to add stuff before reading my tags lol #bcus i don't entirely agree here but i do think she makes some salient points; and im going to get into it #1) so the example of catherine and AB...setting aside the debated veracity of catherine's letter #(and you can set it aside #she could make this argument different primary sources and it would still stand #like when catherine was informed henry married anne she literally refused to believe it. she said in his great wisdom he would #never do such a thing. so there is a degree of hero-worship even years into her exile and repudiation) #you can't really ignore the circumstances #which is that they have survivors they're leaving behind and they knew that and it would ultimately ; inevitably factor into what they #chose to be their last words.... #that being said i don't think you can dismiss them as mere sycophancy / appeal to his better nature either #because last words were considered and are still considered; sacrosanct #it's not a time to lie or even equivocate the truth #i always think of starkey's line for anne's: knowing anne one might suspect satire but the moment was too serious for that' #and i would agree with that #i think it was all bound together: 1) an appeal for elizabeth's welfare and 2) a truth in part #or a truth that had been rather* . she does . maybe more significantly than has been recognized. use the past tense here #he must have been that to her for some period of time #when he stopped being so has been debated by historians ever since #he never was; or right after their marriage #or immediately after elizabeth was born. or immediately after her first miscarriage. or second . etc #anyway so tl; dr while i don't think it's quite as simple as what she's outline here and there are facets to all of the above #i do agree with the general thrust of what she's saying here #which is that...you know. henry was admired and loved by some very admirable people #so there must have been things to love about him #much as that is hard to reconcile with what we know about him and what he did. #that has to be acknowledged and given weight if our understanding of this era and court is ever #to be worth half a salt.

Most running groups that say “all paces welcome” are lying

#they won't kick you out for not being fast but you WILL be running alone and no one will make an effort to interact with you before or after #(you will not feel welcome) #this hasn't happened to me recently because I have my running groups dialed in but it used to happen to me before I knew this #the way to spot groups that are ACTUALLY pace-inclusive from their online descriptions is that they will say more about it than #just those three words #but the worst was when I went to the 'LGBT' 'pace-inclusive' running group that turned out to be #all gay men who ran at 8:00 pace or faster. lol #your group is pace-inclusive if there is at least one regular who goes in PREPARED to run slower than their usual pace with #whoever is the slowest person to show up #and won't act or feel put-upon. because they are here to run with people and welcome all paces and not to do their tempo run #Trail Sisters says 'zero drop policy; no lady left behind' and #my super chill Tuesday run club with whom I do my 'active recovery' days says 'all paces welcome including walkers and run-walkers' and #both those groups are telling the truth

How do you trust other people? Asking for a friend.

#real emo hours #why do I do this to myself #people actually are just full of fluffy fake words with not intentions or truth or substance behind them #im tired of trying to be anything to anyone and I shall just be on my own for everyones good #when did words become so tricky I don't belive anything anyone says to me at this point

just saw jp labru artist tweeted smth along the lines of “ppl gravitated towards labru, but the main story is l/aicille no matter how you look at it, you can't deny that!” like what abt farcille… it way more obvious in the manga and probably the most popular than both ships combined but they choose to tweet that…

#i’m just venting yall i didn’t mean to start causing drama #i guess some truth lies behind those words but. it’s the pessimistic way of putting words that threws me off #if they’re a typical fujoshi who dont have any interest for f/arcille i guess it’s unavoidable for them to form those thoughts #that artist goes straight to my block list btw

So for anyone who doesn’t keep up with nz politics, which i’m assuming is most of you, our new radical right government have decided one of their main aims of their term will be to re-interpret the Treaty of Waitangi.

The Treaty is an agreement between Maori and the Crown, now the NZ government. It is the founding document of new zealand and is recognised as a constitutional document today; it is the only treaty of its kind/time still honoured, and it is the steps we’ve taken through the Treaty to provide restitution and build an ongoing relationship with Maori and their iwi (tribes) that has allowed the relationship between Maori and the government to thrive where other indigenous groups have struggled to achieve recognition of their rights.

This is going to be entirely undone. Not only is this issue inflammatory and a threat to race relations in Aotearoa, leaked documents show the proposed “reinterpretation” wants to negate pretty much the entirety of the legal rights provided to Maori under the treaty. For example, the treaty article that guarantees land rights for Maori will be reinterpreted to guarantee land rights for “all New Zealanders”. Which means this article would be essentially meaningless for Maori.

By removing Maori from the context they are trying to put Maori on an “equal footing” with all New Zealanders; they are riding the idea that Maori have special rights and privileges above that of the average New Zealander. Obviously this is bullshit but it’s effective rhetoric and there’s a grain of truth to in that the extent of Maori rights hadn’t been clearly defined due to the ongoing nature of the process. So this has got a lot of people with a poor grasp of the issues very upset and baying for change.

There is a hui (meeting) being held today for all the iwi to begin discussions of how Maori will respond to this. New Zealand politics isn’t very interesting usually, but our progress on indigenous rights, until now, has been absolutely ahead of the field. If you care about indigenous rights globally, you should care about this, because in the same way Australia’s referendum loss has spurred on this action, the loss of rights here will spur other right wing governments to be similarly bold to their own indigenous groups.

Indigenous rights in New Zealand are under attack. They are meeting today to discuss it, and New Zealand will be listening, but I want the world to be listening. Because our government needs the shame of being called out by more than just the people who they’ve already decided don’t vote for them.

Maori have a long and proud history of fighting for their rights, and they’ll do it again here. And I’ll be on the pickets beside them, but there’ll be plenty of my own pickets to attend, because this government is radical in every sense of the word.

So please, even if you’re very far away, stand behind them in this. Keep your eyes on us. Amplify their voices. Don’t let the racism drown them out.
