#why doesn't anyone care

[gaykarstaagforever]

A lot of state child labor laws were passed in like 1900.

The Republican Party in 2023 thinks laws passed by Southern legislatures to stop children from dying in mines, the year 115 Black people were lynched, is Communist hippie shit.

How far do you let them go before you turn on them? When they try to relegalize race slavery? When they publicly eat human flesh?

For people who brag about that time we declared war over a tea tax, you'd think there'd be more of a negative reaction to lawyers making it legal for our 14 year old daughters to serve them cocktails at 1 am.

#child labor #why doesn't anyone care #how jaded are you people #come the fuck on

sometimes I think of all the on-the-surface warm, well-meaning but deeply ineffectual advice and attention john gives harrow through harrow the ninth (make some soup and get some sleep! get a hobby! don't be so hard on yourself! self care harrow! as long as I need take no actual responsibility in this relationship whatsoever I would have loved to be your dad!) set up against the stark truth that with his other hand he has been staging her attempted horrific murder again and again and again like a living nightmare on the logic that it will 'put her down or fix her'. and then I find that I wish there is a hell. a special hell where twitch streamers turned necromantic death emperors go

#the locked tomb #harrowhark nonagesimus #john gaius #harrow the ninth #this is why I don't buy john as misunderstood and initially well-meaning AT ALL #this is a pattern you see with him again and again and again -- right down to his interpersonal relationships #(and indeed it's in the more grounded interpersonal relationships you can most clearly see him as he is I think #the fantasy death empire of a thousand years doesn't register quite as viscerally because it's like. heightened; not quite real #but the emotional violence and manipulation that surrounds him? oh boy that is EXTREMELY real and scarily well-observed) #there's a premeditation to so much of what he does (contracts with planets that only end 'in the event of the emperor's death' anyone? #yeah john we get it you're hilarious and I wish you weren't) #the greatest trick john ever pulled was making anyone think he's just a lil guy. what does he know he's only god #when you first read the book the complete callousness of the other adults is so horrible that john seems like an oasis of care #(though you start to get this uneasy feeling when that care never seems to translate to like... relief or soothing or resolution) #and it makes it feel almost obscene when you find out what's actually going on #it's the mercy & augustine enabler hour but at least they're completely honest in their cruelty there #while john is -- well he sure is being john huh #this is just me being angry with him btw philosophically I don't think this is how the story will or should end #(with john slam dunked right into hell that is) #it's just... harrow is so vulnerable. and what he does to her is so insidious and fucked up #john is very deeply human. unfortunately the capacity to quite simply suck so much is deeply human too

like yeah of course tom thinks shiv is a scorpion because he doesn't know she compromised her position and sacrificed her brother so he wouldn't go to prison. he doesn't know she refused to divulge any information about cruises to gil in season 1 before she was certain tom would walk away unscathed. he doesn't know she shut down her brothers' offer to fire him, doesn't know she ensured he'd have a place in the company post-acquisition, doesn't know that the first time she indelicately interrogated matsson about whether she'd have any power and influence at waystar gojo was literally immediately after matsson brought up the idea of firing tom. and it's her fault he doesn't know that she's protected him at nearly every turn because she won't tell him. and it's looking more likely with every passing episode that he'll never know 😔🔫

#ALSO. i just remembered that he still thinks shiv ratted about the press conference to gerri. lol!!! #tomshiv #tom wambsgans #shiv roy #succession #so glad shiv brought up that HE offered to go to prison cuz ive been saying that..... #like dude u expect ur emotionally unavailable wife to protest the idea of u going to jail when youve just told her it's logistically sound #well yes okay that's reasonable #screams #succession spoilers #EDIT i do not know why anyone is interpreting this post as me blaming tom. what part of 'he doesn't know' did you guys miss #not that he is blameless in the marriage obviously but i think it makes sense that he doesn't believe shiv even cares about him

Cinch had three charges in her care once, Celestia entrusted her with the day-to-day care of Prince Blueblood, the new Princess Cadence and her student Sunset Shimmer - running a kingdom is difficult enough alone without three young ponies to look after - so when Celestia is absent (often) that means Cinch was in charge of these three ponies. And while the matron of the castle was always rigid about rules and wanted her three charges to uphold her reputation and to build their own budding reputations high, she cared about them very much. You'd have to, spending your time with the same three young ponies for so long, guiding and teaching them to be their best...

By the time Ditzy came into the picture, Cinch was down to two charges. She refused to fail them the way she failed...

Well, with one down, there were two left and she cared so much she wouldn't let anyone ruin them, especially not themselves. Surely they would come to realize Cinch was only helping.

This is likely one of the other druids making a log, since it's implied throughout the writings that they are all assigned record keeping tasks as needed, but I just keep thinking about this being Halsin's work because of the underlining single words for emphasis, and this is just his !!baby!! senses going off.

#BG3 Musing #Halsin #Halsin Posting #halsin seeing the owlbear cub in camp: I WAS RIGHT #i know larian doesn't care much about halsin but if it were me that owlbear baby and scratch would be around #mr. 'i love animals and nature' literally all the time #have him stay at camp? fine he's camp baby sitter - that owlbear loves him more than anyone else #because why wouldn't he halsin can morph into his mother

Potential elements of a coming-of-age arc:

Identity: Learning who you are outside of the family structure

Responsibility: Taking care of other people instead of being taken care of; making your own choices and taking the consequences upon yourself

Values: Deciding which values you will live your life by--holding onto the values of childhood or taking up new values--and using these to inform your adult decisions

Wisdom: Overcoming a childish misconception of reality and coming to a more realistic understanding of how the world works, so you can use this new knowledge to inform your decisions

#adventures in writing #thoughts expanded after considering how under my original definition #northanger abbey is definitely henry's coming-of-age story but not necessarily catherine's #because she doesn't take care of anyone #however she does take responsibility for her actions #takes ownership of her childhood values #and grows in wisdom #i'm not sure you need all of these #i think responsibility has to do with love #caring about someone besides yourself #and if that's the case then responsibility is necessary in a heroic coming-of-age arc #which is why a villain is so useful #because you see what it's like when someone doesn't care about others

Gotta love Tommy Shepherd, he's got like four sets of parental figures that could care about him but he either feels awkward around them or they just apparently forgot he exists. Like the only semi ok adult in his life is Master Pandemonium, who he's taking care of but he at least interacts with him.

#tommy shepherd #tommy maximoff #speed #young avengers #wanda maximoff #scarlet witch #vision #im on the train of thought that tommy didnt stay woth the Kaplan's because he felt awkward around his soul twins loving parents. ive seen #some people say they dont understand why tommy didn't stay because the Kaplan's are great and they are but maybe they were TOO GREAT. #imagine being tommy and your magic brother was born into a nice loving home while your parents (from what we see/dont see) were shit. #like thats got to hurt. Billy gets nice caring parents (not to mention wandas attention too) and those parents are caring to you to? #like why? why are they nice? why did he get shit parents? why cant wanda interact with him? why doesn't anyone care about him? #the Kaplan's did do anything but be nice and kind and loving. and that was just maybe much. #billy kaplan #wiccan #four sets are wanda vision. bio parents the kaplans and Northstar and Kyle in that one comic obviously not mad at them but they're an option #master pandemonium #master p #and thats only because tommy is taking care of him and inturn he tries to take care of tommy #comics #marvel comics #martin preston #can my boy have a break?

hot take moment cwilbur is literally just psychotic as all hell and i think people got way too comfortable villianizing the shit out of a man who was clearly portraying signs of severe mental illness. cwilbur was like im so fucking paranoid and scared and i think everyone is out to get me and hurt me and ive spiralled to the point i cant reach out to the people closest to me because im so afraid and lost in this spiral and im having constant panic attacks and hurting myself because i dong know what to do with myself and the only way out for me is to die. and everybody was like EVIL MAN WHO ENJOYS HURTING OTHERS AND IS ABUSIVE ON PURPOSE AND A VILLAIN AND SHOULD NEVER BE TRUSTED AGAIN. and then he came back and was like im still deeply troubled and afraid but im desperately trying to make up for the wrongs i did in the past and the people i hurt in my own way and communication is really hard for me but i hope people know that im truely sorry and i love them. im going to try my hardest to fix this in the only way i know how and then respectfully remove myself from the situation because i feel thats the kindest thing i can do to the people ive hurt. and people were like ABUSER ABUSER ABUSER EVIL MAN ABUSER. like girl

Yeah no based true real no questions asked

I'd hope I manage to portray Wilbur the way he deserves in my content, cause that man is heavily bpd coded and he just needs therapy and someone who genuinely loves him but also can handle his bullshit (which has exclusively and reliably been Quackity like, canonically)

But yeah no completely agreed. The man has issues and has definitely fucked up a lot but at the end of the day he really does need love and care and patience, but also boundaries (and therapy and meds, obviously)

#i deeeefinitely have no reason to have strong feelings about bpd bitches deserving love and care and stability ha ha nooo it's definitely- #-not like I've been dating one for well over 4 years now and even though we've been through so much shit together and I still can't- #-understand why people with bpd and conditions that have similar symptoms are so demonised. It just makes no sense to me. #my bf is the love of my life and i can't imagine /not/ supporting it through all the splitting and episodes and all of that cause they're- #-absolutely worth everything #i don't know not to be too gay on main but tbf it's too late now anyway i think-- #is it unstable? sure. but it's also the most caring and loving person i've ever been close with and it always makes sure i'm ok #and it loves me so undeniably deeply no matter what purely for who i am #i've never had anyone care about me this much and this genuinely and this unconditionally - it'd always be what /they/ can get out of /me/ #but my boyfriend just cares about me - the actual me - no matter if i'm acting how it imagined i'd act. what matters is if i'm /me/ #listen bpd isn't sunshine and rainbows - we've been through some TERRIBLE shit (including s-cide attempts) #but when people claim it makes a relationship toxic/abusive it's so stupid cause ultimately with mutual love support and reassurance- #-and professional help you can have a genuinely happy and healthy life with someone with bpd #love isn't mean to be easy. it's meant to be safe and supportive and genuine but a relationship always takes effort and work on both sides #you should never sacrifice your well being of course! #but when love takes effort and extra care it doesn't inherently mean it's unhealthy or toxic or abusive. it just means you're people. #tldr if you love someone then don't care about some diagnosis - care about the actual perso. #ask #asks #ask fern #tntduo #dsmp #tnt duo #wilbur soot #quackity #quackbur #dream smp #tntblr #c!quackbur #c!tntduo

could you tell me more about why you dislike femskk?

okay disclaimer before i begin: this is not meant to be a dig on every person who enjoys femskk. the biggest reason i don't like it is honestly because it's just not my cup of tea and honestly it really makes no difference to me if other people like it. but beyond that my biggest issues with it are

1. the phenomenon of fans "yuri-ifying" the most popular m/m ship and then using that to prove they like female characters and f/f ships. this is not a bsd-exclusive thing; it happens with stsg too and i don't like femstsg for the same reason. but there's a big difference between actually liking female characters and just genderbending (or even making transfem) the big m/m ship. i literally went to the f/f category in bsd on ao3 the other day looking for fics and about half of them are skk fics instead of fics about like. the actual female characters in bsd. who i was looking for fics of. similarly, there have been some redraw trends going around twitter - specifically the i prefer girls cover redraw - and i have seen. i don't even know how many femskk redraws of that (along with a couple femfyolais and a femrimlaine) but only one redraw with actual female characters from bsd. same with the scene 14 redraw that was going around, and while that one wasn't originally two female characters, i have still seen significantly more femskk (and femsigzai, femsigchuu, femfyolai, etc) than i have ships with even one character who is female in the source material.

and imo this phenomenon is made even worse in the bsd fandom bc so many fans just see bsd as the skk show. so of course they're writing off the actual female characters; they literally don't care about anything besides skk. and obviously i can't do anything to force anyone to care about other characters but like.... bsd has so many other wonderful characters and dynamics (both romantic and platonic) that a good half of the fanbase won't even glance at because they're not skk. i do like skk, but bsd is about so much more than just them. they are, objectively, only one small part of it. like if you only care about skk, then just be outright about it and don't pretend you're "proving" you like female characters and sapphic ships bc you like femskk too

2. of the fans who only like skk and nothing else about bsd, most of them. don't even characterize dazai and chuuya correctly? i think the some of the best skk characterizations i've seen have been from people who actually like other characters and ships too, and some of the worst skk characterization i've seen has come from people who literally don't care about any other ships or characters. this isn't a hard and fast rule obviously but even with 30k skk fics on ao3, i have struggled to find ones that actually feel true to their characters. and the characterization seems to only get worse when it's femskk. if you're just going to turn femdazai and femchuuya into two completely different people, what's the point in it even being skk? why not write k.ousano or h.igugin or even a ship with one canonically female character? if you have to change the core characteristics of both dazai and chuuya... do you even really like them?

3. about femdazai: i actually don't mind the transfem dazai headcanon in general but most fans get her wrong. i made a post about it here but basically so many times i see femdazais that are just. completely unrecognizable as dazai. you can't strip away core aspects of dazai like idk the fact that dazai doesn't show any skin from neck to toe just because you made her a girl. i have seen some femdazai that's good! but i have seen so much that is just fundamentally wrong for dazai's character as a whole. mostly on twitter.

4. about femchuuya: i really truly just don't get femchuuya. i THINK the hype here is probably bc lesbians seem to get attached to chuuya (which. valid. i am also a lesbian chuuya fan.) and so they want to draw a chuuya they can be attracted to (i.e. femchuuya) which like. cool whatever i'm not here to judge. but looking at it from a "would this character actually identify as female" perspective, i don't actually think i can picture that for chuuya. maybe it's just because i so strongly hc them as nonbinary? idk. this one is honestly just a neutral "i don't see that but you do you"

tl;dr: from what i've seen, femskk is often mischaracterized, and genderbending the big m/m ships in a fandom is often a way fans "prove" they like the female characters and f/f ships while not actually caring about anything other than their main m/m ship

#the first point is also why i don't particularly care for fem any m/m ship in any fandom. that's not exclusive to femskk #femskk is just. there is a LOT of it that i see and i would much rather see more art/fics/etc. for the canonically female characters #i don't like k.ousano but i would prefer they have more fics in the bsd f/f tag on ao3 than a ship that. isn't canonically f/f #like it's already hard to find f/f content (and just stuff for female characters in general) in ANY fandom #so to have to filter through not only femskk fics but also other canonically m/m ships made fem #while i'm specifically looking for fics with yosano lucy higuchi lucy louisa margaret gin etc etc is. frustrating #i'm not saying femskk shouldn't be a thing or that they shouldn't be in the f/f tag but #i wish they weren't the number 1 f/f ship in the fandom #i wish there was more of a balance and the canonically female characters got more appreciation from the fandom in general #so anyway this isn't me trying to sway people out of writing/drawing femskk bc i know that's never going to happen #it's just a wish for more bsd fans to appreciate other characters too #also sorry if this doesn't make a lot of sense; i had to pause halfway through to go pick up my sister sfdghjkjl #and once again this is not an attack on femskk enjoyers or anyone specific!!! just me having opinions abt the fandom in general #asks #anon asks

im really trying to be accepting of myself, but being acespec is yet another damper on my ability to interact with people

#like discussing any sort of crushes or attraction i just feel like such an outsider #and then i feel so strange explaining myself and im worried it comes off as me sounding puritanical or something #or like i think im better than everyone bc im morally perfect or whatever #how am i supposed to say “yeah i've had a crush on luke for nine-ten years but have only been ATTRACTED attracted to him for three” #it is a PROCESS #also why i don't have crushes on anyone else. i have to make it happen so when i don't want it to it just doesn't #why do i feel the need to justify everything. no one will see this. nobody cares.

Things North and Connor have in common

They both witnessed their own model being killed.

Often dismissed as "too radical"

Between flight or fight will always prefer to fight

Self-worth is quite a challenging concept, nothing matters more than the big end goal that they themselves may not even see.

They both killed, no matter if it's peaceful route or not, they didn't get to have their pacifist option

Can't lead the revolution without Markus.

Although in one thing they're different

North would have never chosen to sacrifice the revolution for the sake of ONE person, even if it's Markus (although it's kinda different, because no revolution seems to be possible without him)

If she ever finds out what Connor did inside CL tower before freeing those androids, that he actually had chosen to save ONE human instead of thousands of androids (before it all worked out), she'd be really angry and disappointed with him. She woudn't trust him again. She'd try to convince Markus not to trust him either, because no matter what he did, this action alone is like a betrayal of his people for the sake of what, a human? "Who's side are you on?"

#dbh #dbh connor #dbh north #yeah she wouldn't understand how an android can care so much for human #it'll make her angry #it'll potentially gross her out #she'd ask him to explain it and he won't be able to because he himself isn't sure why did he do that #it doesn't make much sense #(for anyone who isn't Connor anyway) #detroit become human

Hi I don't really know how to say this so I'm going to kinda do it under the cut so it feels quieter

I don't really like to be too open about personal struggles online, I mean, I share some stuff from time to time but mostly tiredness w work or missed appointments and other simple things. I don't like letting a lot of people know about the specific things that are going on irl, especially if they're heavier so.... Idk but. TW for pet death going forward, so this should kinda let you know what it is

A couple days ago I was told that my bunny died that morning. He was a fairly old bunny so it wasn't a huge shock, and I think he had a good life, but it was still pretty sudden. My mom said that the night before he was running around completely normally and eating/pooping just fine, plus noting unusual at his last visit to the vet, so we have no idea what could have happened. And I think I feel extra bad because I wasn't there, even if I'd be back home pretty often the fact that I moved out and had to leave him there is sad. Of course I still saw him because well he's my pet but I'm bummed because I also wanted more time. I had a dream last night that I went to my parents house as usual and they said they made a mistake and he's actually totally fine, and I woke up sooo bummed after that too. Overall just bummed.

I'm mostly posting this so at least some people know, because I still do get asks about him from time to time and I'd sort of feel really bad breaking the news every time... I hope that makes sense. And I hope I'm not also bumming other people out too much by doing so. But I also don't want people to think it's not okay to talk about bunnies with me now because I still love them <3 and I hope you will still see me as the bunny guy. Don't feel bad about rbing funny old posts with him or anything I think it's a nice way to keep his memory alive, and I don't want everything to be all sad all the time... He's just a bunny and I think we gave him a good life by the end of it, even if it was a sudden end. I'm sorry little bunny I wish I was there for you when the time came but I think we had fun together too. Thank you

#it's personal stuff for anyone who doesn't care feel free to just scroll on it's ok 👍 #but if i seem a little more lethargic or low energy for a while this is mostly why #I'm sorry if i get worse at stuff like replying to asks and such but I'll still do my best to not become impossible to talk to 😅

I don't fully understand how he did it, but Williamson made the Batman and Robin book so boring. How do you make a book with BRUCE WAYNE and DAMIAN, two of DC's most dramatic and at times unreasonable characters, boring?

#He says he writes the scripts for Damian's stories fast and yeah #It shows #And now Flatline returns fucking shoot me #She's so annoying and forced #Literally why would in-character Damian care about her I don't get it #And the Shush is the headmaster reveal? #Yeah everyone saw that from a mile away and why the hell would anyone care #There is literally no reason to be interested in her #Hush is already boring as hell there doesn't need to be another version of him called Shush #What is even the purpose of this book I don't think even Williamson knows
