Dang. Idk if anyone has ever laid out Donald Trump’s entanglement with Russia sO clearly.

If you’ve had enough of watching the Trump clowns defending Trump & white supremacy, the Sutori link is definitely worth reading. It is a very enlightening, detailed and comprehensive timeline that puts Trump’s very very long history with Russian mobsters into sharp perspective.

omgggg im obsessed with this!!! how does romano react to the vatican???

Hehe I’m glad you like!! Romano talks big shit behind his back but Vatican knows how to play this man like a fiddle bc 1) Romano’s religious af and as much as he’d like to think he doesn’t want it, Vatican’s seal of approval is kind of a big deal and the praise he gets from him makes leaves romano shaking like a leaf and 2) something about this guy makes his father issues jump out.

The bros cannot fucking get a dub

Full disclosure, I'm still on chapter 6 but I wanted to say a few things:

Arthur isn't a mindless killer. If he is mass murdering civilians, that's your choice.

Arthur knows that pain is not currency that you can exchange, and causing it only builds a debt - the kind he can't pay off.

He says it himself, "Revenge is a fool's game" - He writes constantly about his remorse in the journal.

Led by Dutch, the Van Der Linde gang have been chasing the feeling of living by their own terms so much that it's killing them. Pursuing that high has only left them to run forever, from those who want to clip their wings of freedom for the sake of law.

The O'Driscoll and Cornwall feud is a scapegoat for Dutch to get revenge for himself and his pride, he uses his charismatic rhetoric to sway the gang and justify all his actions. If they don't obey, they get named and shamed. Dutch labeling the gang as a family and treating them as such has conditioned them to know not to disappoint him, especially Arthur.

Arthur was taught not to bite the hand that feeds him, even when he wasn't fed.

The days of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor are long gone. Their way of living is outdated and they're running out of land to run away to.

This pursuit of freedom, once idealised, has become a desperate attempt to survive in a world that doesn't want them.

Their hearts have always been in the right place, but their guns were misguided by Dutch.

That loyalty has killed them.

#charles is the only other sane person in this game #dutch's whole “im doing this for us but it only benefits me” manipulation has worked #arthur is seeing through that act but us still torn about it #he has accepted that he might die to his loyalty to dutch but he doesn't want it for anybody else either #how did we go from “youre more than a son to me” dutch to “I need no traitors” whilst glaring at arthur #hosea's death happened #but it's been a long time coming #arthur morgan #dutch van der linde #van der linde gang #rdr2 #red dead redemption 2 #mick squeaks #no spoilers please #liveblogging #please let me know your thoughts!!

desperately need people to understand that alicent is a victim but she’s also an abuser and a perpetrator

that she actively makes choices to harm other women because of jealousy and envy and the greed deep in her bones because submitting to suffering didn’t get her what those women fight to grasp for themselves.

she is absolutely a victim, in show.

that doesn’t change that she abused rhaenyra and her children, her own son, most likely helaena given how she flinches every time her mother touches her, and is actively weaponizing the patriarchy of westeros against other women- rhaenyra primarily, but also mysaria and dyana.

she isn’t the moral, righteous force of good that even she thinks she is, she’s a wounded woman directing all of the rot, pain, and fury inside her at the wrong people and forces.

#anti team green stans #anti team green #anti alicent hightower stans #i don’t wanna say it’s anti alicent bc honestly it’s more ‘accept her for who she is bc she’s so much more complex and interesting when you #but i made this bc someone genuinely tried to say that the reason people hate her is that they don’t see her as a victim #most rational people know show!alicent is a victim #it’s the point that’s she’s an abuser as well #that makes them dislike her #that she’s a hypocrite and a traitor #i don’t even like young alicent bc i don’t at all think she was a good friend to rhaenyra #‘it’s not your place to question the plots of lords and men’ to the named heir #dismisses rhaenyra’s hopes and idealism entirely out of hand #is baffled that rhaenyra is more worried for her fathers happiness and mother’s wellbeing than her position #she knew as early as ep 3 that otto was conspiring against rhaenyra and never told anyone #condemns ‘targaryen customs’ only to wed her daughter to her son even younger than she was when otto dangled her before viserys #acts entitled to rhaenyras secrets whilst condemning and judgemental even though she did not give rhaenyra that same courtesy #made no attempt at apology for the insensitive comment of aegon’s birth #though rhaenyra DID try to apologize for the ‘imprisoned in a castle’ line and tried to comfort her #uses her power as queen to push past the space rhaenyra is trying to create because she feels heartbroken and betrayed #rhaenyra took part in alicent’s culture with prayer at alicent’s urging because she cared about alicent and alicent was trying to help her #alicent is never once shown to return that favor instead condemning it for ‘queerness’ and growing to later #erase and remove all targaryen and valyrian heraldry from the red keep to replace with her own #like alicent is a victim and i DO have empathy for her. but i don’t like her and never will #especially not after the way her stans behave #she deserved better than otto’s machinations and viserys’…. viserysness #but that can also be true whilst i condemn her actions and behaviors

yap about uhh zhongli and azhdaha (please)

I believe I already talked about zhongli and azhdaha but everytime i reread the last lines of their dialogue together I feel so ill, its just like getting sucker punched

first there are theories that azhdaha could be the geo dragon sovereign and I mean its certainly possible. First he is described as the "Lord of the Vishaps" and he lashes at Morax for being an usurper which is the first time this word has been brought up within the main story itself. Plus Morax also struggled to seal him away during the fight showing immense strength so maybe?? I am leaning towards this theory but I have no idea really.

It would make zhongli and azhdaha's relationship 10x more interesting but a billion times more complex.

But that aside reading through the zhongli's second story quest, I think its interesting how Jiu (evil azhdaha) refers to zhongli as a traitor/betrayer this could refer to the fact that morax sided with humanity to stop him or it could refer the heavens and the authority of the archons.

anyway im still crying because morax sharing his power with azhdaha to stop his erosion is so sad but he can't stop it so he has to watch his consciousness and reason turn to nothing. I can't imagine its not only finding a new enemy but losing a friend.

Azhdaha also holding Morax is very high esteem is also super interesting. Apparently in the chinese text it signals that morax had azhdaha's respect or support in the sense that if azhdaha was the geo dragon sovereign he willingly allowed morax to use his power.

I could talk forever but as you go through act II azhdaha recites a poem "a star appears within the wild...a sun ascends as bright as...jade" LISTEN my number 1 theory for what zhongli's true form is, is that he is a star, just a fallen star for the heavens, so not only is this line super important but it also reflects how much meaning morax had to azhdaha. A blind dragon yearning to see the sun, morax embodied that sun is almost every way.

azhdaha uses kun jun to track down morax but also senses morax is no longer than geo archon, i wonder how he found him then- just the scent of the divinity?

"even without a god above, this remains a nation of men. I was once their god. I ought to be here to witness their rise and fall." ugh zhongli please dont say such things

"you were always the strongest among us, yet it would seem that even you have been eroded" see now im confused and upset. zhongli says he struggled to seal azhdaha away but azhdaha also refers to zhongli as the strongest amongst them. the truth seems as that both of them were very close in power with zhongli just peaking over him. When it comes to their fight in the chasm, it seems morax fought azdhaha alone and out of the chasm while 3 of his adepti prepared the seal in Nantianmen. (fun fact you can see the stone formations where morax "dragged" azhdaha out of the chasm)

BUT azhdaha also says that morax came to him not as an assassin so he was willingly sealed away. BUT then zhongli is like the "movements of the Earth Dragon can tremble the earth and shake the heavens. with your abilities even at my full strength i struggled to confront you, let alone seal you away." First zhongli refers to him as Earth Dragon as in a title so wink wink nudge nudge are you the sovereign azhdaha? then zhongli kind of emplies he wouldn't have been able to seal azhdaha had he not consented to it, but azhdaha also believes zhongli was still stronger than him. I guess for now we have to accept both truths.

Also im upset please dont say such things, like the fact that zhongli has eroded in his own way makes me sad.

"you may live forever, doomed to a lonely existence...yet even this is temporary" FUCK. Like this is also part of the reason I think zhongli is a star, because eternal life? loneliness? the sun shines brightly all by itself casting a shadow on everyone and burning whoever gets too close. zhongli is bright and beautiful but he ends up losing everyone within his orbit, like this is so awful but like the adepti, the archons, azhdaha, guizhong like everyone close to him is always dying. even though he lives amongst humanity now he is still going to watch all of them die. someone hold me!!! Azhdaha does say he will meet all his companions at the end, but that could be an eternity away from now.

Also after this zhongli is like my lifespan can't compare to yours, the life of an elemental being is longer than anything but wait a second, in xianyun's story line she mentions that adepti are pure elemental beings. so like is he or is he not an elemental being. If he isn't why is he called the prime of the adepti, if he is why does he state that he could not compare to the lifespan of an elemental being. then again morax could be non-elemental being that just ascended to the title of adepti.

But- kun jun states that if he were not an elemental being morax would've killed him a long time ago, so maybe it's less of the lifespan but more to do with a cycle of rebirth. In the sense you cannot truly kill an elemental being as they will simply revive or come back to life thousands of years later. who knows!

"that day in the chasm? did you hesitate?" "a heart of stone is a heart nonetheless" I don't even want to talk about it, to this day this is still the most homoerotic line in the entire game. i feel so ill, want to throw up.

I'm kind of curious when zhongli and azhdaha met, because azhdaha is like I was there with Liyue's founder, as in he was there when the harbor was founded 3,700 years ago and was sealed 1,000 years ago. BUT liyue was founded before the end of the archon war, hell it was founded at the climax of the war, so were zhongli and azhdaha already partners when zhongli became the geo archon? If so it could grant more meaning to the idea that azhdaha approved of zhongli as in he accepted morax taking his authority IF he was the geo dragon sovereign.

"you're leaving?" dont talk like that zhongli it makes you sound (and me feel) pitiful

See also zhongli is like “centuries have past since the day azhdaha attacked but the events remain crystal clear in my mind” so like i feel zhongli erodes in a different way than azhdaha i don't think his memories are just degrading away.

BACK to the power thing, zhongli says despite being the victor he cannot claim to be stronger than azhdaha, because in his heart he still retained good will, and although he wished to be sealed away, erosion made him forget this wish. SO azhdaha says morax was stronger but zhongli says azhdaha was stronger.

In this situation, zhongli could be referencing power of will. In the sense that even though zhongli won the physical fight, azhdaha was still "stronger" than him because, despite losing his memories, he still retained goodness in his heart. I will leave the power thing between the two as "ambiguous" just for my peace. But zhongli could also be saying that erosion made azhdaha "weak" in some way and if not for that he could not have bested him in battle.

Erosion talk makes me sad, zhongli describes his erosion as "people abandon and surrender the things the love to pursue the right path". And god it hurts, he loved azhdaha, truly! But to protect liyue zhongli had to turn his back on his companions. there are probably so many people zhongli loved that he couldn't protect or couldn't be with to protect liyue.

Which is why I don't think I can be too harsh on him for stepping down as archon. Not only is erosion more dangerous the stronger the being is, but for a god that has lived so selflessly for all these years I cannot blame him for wanting to cherish the things he personally loves for once. But even then he still loves liyue so much he wants to watch them grow for many years.

So uh yeah azhdaha zhongli hurts me soooo because it was never meant to be, but there are a lot of theories out there that could change the dynamic of their relationship so I am just not sure. But i do like them together I wish azhdaha would come back simply because it would make zhongli happy.

#azhdaha #zhongli #genshin impact #damn i was talking #BUT REALLY #I ALSO heard theories that zhongli himself could be the geo dragon sovereign but betrayed the rest of the dragons to become archon #i am less inclined towards this one BUT it could also hold a double meaning for azhdaha's “betrayor and traitor” lines #i wish their was more rezhong content #i could talk more but im tired lol #and this is long enough #if azhdaha had an anime bishie form i wouldn't be suffering #azhdaha come back there are GAPS within the lore #DONT READ HISTORIA ANTIQUA ACT II #that shit makes me miserable!!! #also if zhongli is not an adepti what is he #like ofc yes adepti isn't a race its a title #BUT like the beings that become adepti are elemental beings #or at least beings like xianyun are other elite adepti #many questions

A good way to judge someone's moral and ethical character is to see how they react to and speak about homeless people and drug addicts. It works everytime and most people are quick to reveal just how disgusting they are as soon the topic comes up.

#gotta love how people act like you're the bad guy for defending the rights and humanity of the homeless and addicted #they act like you're some kind of traitor for refusing to scapegoat and dehumanize a vulnerable demographic of people #rampant homelessness and addiction is a symptom of larger social problems #there's a lot of both in my city and the white people here keep complaining that the cops won't do anything to help #why on earth would you EVER expect or want the cops to help with something like that? #you people are wack

Strahdposting (with possible spoilers so tread lightly)

One of the worst things about Strahd in our campaign is that he's not overtly forced anyone to do anything. His underlings have, sure, but never him. He just waits for us to eliminate our options all on our own, and then presents us with his way. And of course, his way is the easiest. He'll even make it easier. We keep falling into the pit because he ensures we dig it ourselves.

We're almost past the point where he wants to bargain with us and I'm nervous about what happens when he stops being the devil we know and becomes something else altogether.

The recent reveal that there were other parties before ours has been so shattering for us, I think, because it made us all realize that our party is an amusement until it is an inconvenience, and then we'll be insects in the garden that have overstayed our welcome. And then he'll start with the force.

#even when Demetria was kidnapped #we only SAY kidnapped because Volenta did it and Strahd got to play hero about the whole thing #Every subsequent time she went to Ravenloft was on a bargain. #we're so past the wining and dining phase that it's unreal #but he'd convinced a party member to turn traitor and is moving in on another because he knows we work better being coaxed #barovia is so so scary and you know what? vampire castle supreme seems real nice sometimes. #in terms of power i was specifically thinking of when he found out we resurrected leo and collected him after 3 business days #he only used force after we acted first #and then was all “look what you made me do.” #good fucking god #and obviously #it's control while maintaining the illusion of culpability on our part. but it works. oh... does it work. #i know some DMs have him being very traditionally forceful and i think that's a great interpretation #because the first strahd game i was in leaned heavy into that #but i think our strahd in this game uses vampire-as-seduction in an extraordinarily cool way. #i had the same DM for both and i think this version is some fine fine work. #curse of strahd spoilers #cos: the sorority

The article doesn’t mention it by name but Project 2025 calls for troops to be deployed in Democratic cities (virtually all the big cities) to prevent protests, resistance of any kind, mass round-ups of immigrants (or minorities), or even to block voting. A future president Drumpf could use the military at his whim against domestic rivals or political enemies.

WTFFF I thought thirteen would be my new girl crush love of my life heart eyes wife you-came-after-twelve-you-must-be-better-than-they're-all-saying bbygirl and then I had to sit down and watch as she told a man who (if he were not a murderer, of course) literally every regeneration before her would've LOVED and FULLY SUPPORTED that "the systems aren't the problem. how people use and exploit the system, that's the problem. people like you" </33333 !?!?

I noticed something else regarding Far Cry New Dawn promotional content, this time in the Announcement Trailer.

In the video, The Twins threaten the people of Prosperity before brutally executing someone. They say:

Mickey: Listen here, rabbits. You need to understand something: the only currency left in this world is power. We’re going to take everything from you, starting with your home. And if we can’t take it... Lou: ...we’ll break it.

Mickey doesn’t finish her sentence because she expects Lou to, and we can assume that what Lou adds is exactly what Mickey would have said had she been alone. There’s a great connection and synergy between them.

In the game, the moment they threaten Prosperity happens differently. First, they don’t come right at the gate but stay at a distance. Secondly, instead of beating someone to death with her helmet (which is something she still does in the prologue), Lou places an unpinned grenade in a child’s hands. Finally, they only talk to Carmina and the Captain, and part of what they say, while very reminiscent of the speech we heard in the trailer, isn’t identical to it:

Mickey: The only currency in this world is power. You-- you made us look weak. That ends now. We are going to take everything that you hold dear. Starting with your home. Lou: And if we can't take it, we'll break it.

The major difference here is that Mickey’s sentence was over, and I don’t think she expected Lou to say anything. Yet, she’s barely done talking when her sister decides to speak... much to Mickey’s annoyance, it seems, as this is her reaction:

The Twins remain very connected and don’t really seem to be in conflict in the game, but I think it’s interesting that Mickey rolls her eyes because of Lou’s comment. Yes, they can still be physically and mentally synchronized, but sometimes, they can also have slightly diverging opinions and get annoyed with each other because, at the end of the day, they’re separate people with different personalities. In my opinion, compared to what the trailer originally showed, the final version of the scene humanizes them more.

#far cry new dawn #mickey #lou #the twins #mickey and lou #I often feel like I should give fcnd a second chance because not everything was bad #there are some cool details like this one #also it looks pretty #I rewatched some cutscenes and they were fine too #...in fact I mostly dislike ethan #and it’s not even because he’s a bad character #I mean he’s a brat and a traitor but the writing and acting are fine #really I just hate that they made him exist in the first place #and that kind of ruined the game for me #gifs I made

Zero idea if this has been done before but while trying to teach myself to draw simple demodogs, I got the idea for Service Dog Dart for Steve.

Like a Dart that ended up having to live with Steve because Dustin couldn’t hide it, (though Steve makes him come by and walk Dart at dusk) and Steve started training Dart as a joke to do some cute tricks. 

After Starcourt though, Steve and Robin (who is practically living at Steve’s, figure out Dart has somehow hiveminded itself to THEM, and is now doing it’s “tricks” to try and provide help, and they’re able to quickly direct Dart to start acting as a service animal. 

This poses some issues for Steve, primarily he can’t exactly USE Dart as a service animal in like, public, but as someone who is disabled (I almost wrote technically disabled there, that’s how deep THAT goes) and who was super athletic (still am but like it be different now) it takes TIME to adjust to the fact that something isn’t going to go away. That you are going to have to live with and manage shit for the rest of your life, and the knowledge that it might get WORSE is a weird nose hanging about your neck and it’s a whole thing, so I can see Steve not being ready to be out with a service animal just yet, insisting Dart needs more training (it does, it keeps eating squirrels at inopportune times and in one very bad incident, Erica’s friends hamster) and that he’s “not that bad.” 

Dart can help a lot at home though, and eventually even in battle.
