oh so alisaie’s exaggerated bully behavior is 80% fanon. saying this she casually picks up a large rock

#say one thing wrong to me and you will have a wonderful few days with the rock #if angry silly girls have 100 fans etc if they have 0 fans i have died #sorry i saw a YouTube meme i vehemently disliked on principle and got mad at the only child behavior- #kipspeak #she is just short tempered and uses anger to mask other more ‘shameful’ emotions!!! alphy did the same thing with just deciding not #to express them. which is still not good and I think why he breaks and ends up teary so often now #this shortness does not translate to actually being mean to people. she only uses being mean as a shield for herself and being snarky #Is just fun for her. it’s fun for Me. you have to inconsequentually tease people or they’ll never learn to laugh at themselves #the twins and thancred 🫵 do this thing where they have big emotions but they don’t want anyone to SEE they have big weird emotions #so alphy pretends he doesn’t have them under a veneer of dignity and alisaie pretends the emotions are Something Else. thancred is #just so emotionally constipated he has trouble expressing anything. he’s got enough baggage for a flatbed #anyways. alisaie is such a compassionate and kind girl and she learned how to make snarky jokes and went ham. and she hates appearing sad o #weak or vulnerable so she blocks it off with an unapproachable emotion so no one pities her and they maybe get on with the plot #it is in fact also great at getting ppl to move away from the sad or embarrassing topic. even if the tradeoff is being more offputting #she would never (grabs youtube meme) she would never seriously bully her brother. this is sibling ribbing only. Cain instinct #just leave her be she is learning how to snark humor and she loves it she loves being sharp. alphy has wit he just keeps it close #my brother didn’t learn how to tell or receive a joke until he was 14 he took everything so seriously. he can do it now though and he’s #HILARIOUS. Don’t tell him I said that. my man knows exactly where the funny points are even if he hasn’t learned when to stop yet #too many tags. Whatever. jokey snark alisaie who sometimes compliments is happy alisaie grouchy snappy angry alisaie is way too stressed #very easy way to tell between the two. even alphy can tell between the two I believe! He tends to rib back in protest if they’re having fun #and try to stop her if they’re not having fun. case in point ‘what is that supposed to mean?!’ vs ‘alisaie ryne was only trying to help.’ #I know they’re twins but that’s such an intensely older sibling thing to do that it reels me #LONG TAGS AND THREE EDITS TO ADD ON SHORT I resent this stereotype taken too far into ooc behavior. it happened with nya #It will happen again and as a postscript let me regale you with Things U Can Notice About Character Motivation and Actions— #I’m not done let me s #she and raha are friends now I decree. ‘haha you like me’ SPUTTERING PROTEST FROM BOTH

“My wife is actually for repealing the 19th amendment and thinks other women should be too” is such a red flag. Is she though. Does she really.

(For my non-American followers, the 19th amendment gurantees women the right to vote)

#if you *as a Christian* seriously believe women are a) so subserviant to men they shouldn't vote #b) that women are not mentally equipped to deal with the 'rigors' of voting #or insert whatever nonsense here #how is that a partner you respect. how is that a partner you experience mutual submission to #how is that a partner you afford the dignity of personhood to #yes voting isn't the end all be all of this argument but i'll be damned if it isn't a good litmus test #ps when i say the 'dignity of personhood' this goes twofold with both a) respecting your partner and #b) allowing your partner to exist outside of the relationship #(in this case having an opinion she's allowed to express) #can you have a relationship with someone you so infantlize? who is not an equal in your eyes? i surely hope not

I really like how severance makes a point of demonstrating the sheer intelligence, creativity, and potential of every severed worker. mark and gemma were academics. irving is a brilliant artist. dylan is some kind of genius probably. they’re not just mindless drones who opted to do this job because they had no potential to be proficient in any other profession. they were forced into doing this work through external pressures (economic or otherwise) that made this (torture) seem like the best option. just like everybody else in the world.

#o.tv #like obviously on a technical level they have to be very smart for the plot to progress #but also it works really well to communicate the point that as much as they may be molded into the ideal empty vessel #no one is. #(although obviously im not saying that if they were all dumb as bricks their exploitation would be justified. obviously) #(like obviously you don’t need to be intelligent to be deserving of respect and basic human dignity. but the fact that they all could be #doing other things with their lives and yet for whatever reason cannot is really telling. i think)

You calling your partner your husband gave me whiplash.I’m too used to you using a gender neutral term the word husband did not compute with my brain

He gets a gendered term when he's in trouble for being outsmarted by a teenage bird. It's like when your mom uses your full government name so you know she means business.

#asks #anon asks #needsmoresark #also we're partners in crime #i won't be a victim to peahen crimes #that's just embarrassing i can't be associated #he's on his own #it's the equivalent of that video where the dad says his daughter #can have the $20 under the glass if she can pull it out without spilling or whatever #and she tells him no because it's glued on #and he lifts the glass and she snatches that money and his wig #and takes off with his dignity #that's what this child did to my husband #except her brain is the size of a pea #unbelievable

ok i’ve decided i’m secure enough in my sexuality to share this now: back when i was doing a lot of very embarrassing google searches in a hunt for some kind of guidance or help in processing my Reflections and the Situation i was in, i found a post titled something like, “on being a baby bi in your thirties,” and my immediate thought was, “well i would rather kill myself than refer to myself as a ‘baby bi’ at any age. so. not sure what to do with this data point.” happy pride! 🌈

#above all first and foremost i identify as: an adult with dignity and self-respect #i know our community faces graver struggles at the moment than some people being incredibly annoying online five years ago #but it’s june. let me have my fun (be a hater) #i saved this to drafts but decided i wanted it out in the world at the last minute #it’s still pride month on the west coast. whatever

i wish apple updates, ANY UPDATES, that change one small thing in the worst way possible while giving you no option to take it back, already having taken my info, my data, my privacy, now demanding what little joy and dignity I have left, a very much i hope you perish with fire on your skin and water in your lungs with the knowledge no one will ever love you and no one has.

#morg rambles #why is there an arrow telling me im using caps lock #did you chucklefucks forget there is a literal LIGHT that GLOWS when i am using capslock #did you fucker mouth breathing shit eating worm guzzling FREAKS not LET YOUR MIND PROCESS that when i am TYPING and i FUCKING SEE the lette #IS IN CAPS #I THEREFORE KNOW IT IS IN CAPS #I DO NOT NEEEEEEEEEEED #IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FROM #FOR AN ANNOYING LITTLE SCREEN ARROW TO TELL ME #i do not nEEEEEEEEEED for my phone is now AUTOMATICALLY blur my OWN FUCKING IMAGES for my wallpaper #WHY #would you make it a two click process TO SEND MEMES OR PHOTOS OR VOICE MEMOS when it was always A ONE CLICK PROCESS #i feel like they SNIFF out whatever actually works and then REMOVE IT WITH GREAT HASTE BECAUSE GOD FORBID WE HAVE JOY AND DIGNITY IN THIS #TECH FUELED NIGHTMARE #I WILL RIP OUT YOUR SPLEEN #IF NOT FOR THE FACT I KNOW THERE IS GREAT PAINS ON THE OTHER SIDE I WOULD SWITCH BEFORE YOU COULD BLINK #i do not need the minds behind this to perish i need them to DIE with FIRE ON THEIR SKIN and WATER IN THEIR LUNGS #i need to get this out my system before i start foaming at the mouth in unbridled agony #that is all #thank you for coming to my ted talk #fuck apple #fuck updates #rambles idk idk

to b honest i hope i never meet anyone in my chemical romance for more than 5 seconds i think it would kill me

#like theyre just guys. they are just some guys what would i even say 2 them. #u cant say some shit like 'oh i think about you all day every day u changed my life' thats insane. they dont know me. #u dont wanna just demand information from them about songs or whatever either. #theres nothing to say theres no way to b normal. no thank u. #i would like to meet gerard and ray each for 5 seconds and say 'hey great show' and they say 'thanks' and sign my silly little cd or w/e #and then i leave and we all retain our dignity #and i get to talk about it for years to come but do not carry the shame of having said something so stupid

me, inhaling brownies, going full Depression Barbie mode:

okay. but. she's (becoming) a real person! and he... can't. but he's literally made to love her. but she was never made to love him. yet they still care about each other, deeply, because in barbieland every barbie has a ken even if that isn't connection isn't always romantic

("i miss my friend barbie!" my heart. i love them.)

and and AND

#probably going to delete this for the sake of whatever scraps of dignity i have left #but oh my god #barbie movie #spoilers #barbie movie spoilers

hey wait so, in the previous years where i mentioned pureflix in disgust, did anyone think i was making a netflix joke. am i still carrying the dead weight of knowledge that fucking sucks but not everyone knows.

#whatever. at least i dont hatewatch there. i have dignity

[sushisocks]

i wish i was as good as you in being feral in tags. i truly try, but it just doesn't come. you, on the other hand, make growling and barking in the notes seem so effortless, i'm in awe

HELLPP IM FUCKING CRYING THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD

the fact that this could have been spurred by SO many posts ive reblogged the past 24 hrs. or like, ever 😭

but see

that's my secret, lissu

im always feral (lol)

and i just live in the tags so that's where it comes out more often than not LMAOO thank u for the compliment im glad my brand of mental illness is enjoyable HAHAHAH

#HAR DE HAR MARVEL REFERENCE sorry i couldnt help myself but ITS TRUE #the way i am in the tags is LITERALLY JUST HOW I ACT ALL THE TIME ONLINE THATS JUST WHAT IM LIKE #also being like very autistic and severely mentally ill and having very little dignity to speak of on this platform helps #AND i convinced myself like years ago that i can say whatever in the tags and maybe 2 other people will see it. this is my safe space #(obviously i know thats not true theres too many ppl here 4 only 2 a time to see me b crazy in the tags but we dont need to talk abt that) #also also if youre wondering how i think of the words i say in the tags. the answer is i dont!! #thank u again bcz i am STILL laughing over this #i went and looked bcz i was like 'what the fuck did i say in the tags that couldve spurred this ask' #now I scrolled like back a days worth but i really didnt need to. i definitely see your point LMAOO #DONT ASK ME ABOUT THAT JOSH HUTCHERSON POST I WILL NOT STAND RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT TEKI OF YESTERDAY SAID #NOR THAT ARTHUR MORGAN ART THAT WAS A VERY REASONABLE RESPONSE IMHO #ALSO NOT THAT WOLFSTAR ART THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY WITHIN THE PARAMATERS FOR THAT POST!!!!! #jesus christ. im doing it again #im--- #teki talks #asks

mused on some thesis about how billions uses Indignity to illustrate that something someone does has failed / gone wrong in one way or another, and how the way this punishment is an Emotional one means that it can't land if the character just doesn't Feel that punished by it, or at least doesn't like attribute the supposed failure to something inherent enough to them to particularly stew on it, see for example people heightening/escalating their efforts to embarass someone if even that person doesn't Seem to sufficiently externally react in embarassment. winston able to truck along while (a) consciously crafting or maintaining some persona, of eternal and irrefutable dignity or whatever else is associated with "merit"/status, isn't much of a priority, when to him his skills speak for themself even though to others this is about their own merit in recognizing independently if winston's skills Happen to have use, and putting him down if he tries to speak to that anyways, and (b) he's also just able to move along from L's handed to him, whether he thinks it was warranted (like that he'll accept it doesn't count if he only thought it but didn't say it) or not (why can't you count to loyalty), when even if this resilience To How Others Treat Him isn't exactly peak realistic, that he thinks of himself in such a way that he doesn't need to be striving for some paramount official status, or think he's defined by never failing or indeed never possibly able to be seen within a "wow undignified / embarassing" framework so long as this winningness is recognized, or so long as anything is anything, is sure feasible enough.

but anyways thought about it like this thesis is just "i am cringe but i am free" like yeah that works

#winston billions #just lifelong recognition that like the [the way they are means they generate comedy] type like peripheral characters are the ones like #yeah of course That's who's relatable; never the like supposedly aspirational and/or peak relatable central/main characters #and that can extend easily enough to the [basically just a running joke] Outlier Single Weirdo Always Just Doing Their Own Thing #like boy we all know people like that huh eyesrollingemoji like yeah. we sure do lol #but also like I Love You any time smthing using comedy is like; look: Everyone is funny & ''weird'' & ''uncool'' & ''doing things wrong'' #like yeah they and we are lol #billions is creating what we Get to see or hear of in the first place / what info we get; how a character is shown to us.... #and boy it just so happens that the characters who aren't epic enough to be brought further into the center of things #also just so happen to inadvertently or advertently Spontaneously share more info abt themselves for ppl to have negative reactions to #while we may be ''surprised'' that axe sucks b/c huh wasn't he so externally epic seeming???? like on what planet; first of all.... #meanwhile winston is not here to be like as ambitious as possible & is more like. sometimes he'll play around; since he's here.... #but this joie de vivre spontaneity is never Cool(tm) of him & maybe he'd be Cooler if he was like (scrolling) ''beneath me; beneath me...'' #(he would not be lol. he's not allowed; fundamentally! it's not Merit in there or out here. nobody has a Deserved greater Air of Dignity) #(but he's getting to have a bit more fun now and then; he'd be punished for his inherent inferiority anyways. and even if like #basically his continuing to be present; continuing to choose to do shit; unacceptably flies in the face of the theory that someone's #inherent superiority will just Make It So that inferior ppl are shunted out of their way or w/e; means that ppl lash out about that by at #least trying to momentarily take Whatever away from him: positive emotional motivation; space to speak unpunished much less be listened to; #space to guaranteed have a Presence unpunished &/or unignored....like well that's the tradeoff to that versus if he tried going for the #tradeoff of much lower highs on average and maybe slightly higher lows on average. not up to You The Individual to simply ''correctly'' #strategize your way out of anyways. e.g. rian has to Choose to treat him with basic respect for his being a person. or someone else has to #Choose to intervene in such a way that lends enough support to winston / thwarts the means with which rian can torment him.) #and in the meantime he apparently can only be peripheral & [funny; little] b/c his Dignity is low stakes. no Arc to ''restore'' it in eithe #anyone else's eyes or much more usually the character's own perception of themself. winston will just be like eh yeah i suck then lol #(when like basically the way He Sucks that ppl give him shit for = his being autistic like ofc he can only roll with / ''accept'' that) #and then he can go whee yippee wahoo & have a blood orange flavored doughnut & ppl can go my god if i were him i'd die #mafee i guess exemplifying this too. Generally able to scuff his foot on the ground like aw gee :( yeah i effed up cringefail style huh #and then move on without it really being much of a whole damn thing. even though it's also Often abt taylor likewise being the one like #[head in hands over mafee fucking up having the collateral or direct damage for them] but they're not here to be fueled by grudges #& ofc this all being Perspective; everyone in billions Is cringefailing lol; but not everyone gets continual [joke at their expense] for it

that new SSI bill sounds great (genuinely, it does) but when do we get the reform where a non-working disabled person can marry a working person [who is making enough for one (1) person to live on but not two] and keep their benefits

#this country in this day and age is built for households with two earners. period. #also like... being a dependent is so fucking undignified. let me have my own money even if it's like. five hundred measly dollars #instead of having to ask for money every time i want a fucking. video game. or whatever. #like a fucking teenager. #we really are not allowed dignity in this country. if you can't work you truly just stop being a person immediately #on top of whatever other marginalisations are causing you to lack personhood in society's view
