icarus slumps over, exhausted from ( yet another ) all-nighter. head plops against his friend's shoulder with a tired huff. "alright, vibe check time. if you could compare me to anyone from cowboy bebop... who would i be and why?" // ksjdcnd it's been too long since these two talked so have this.

UNPROMPTED ASKS. » always accepting!

"Ah!" The moment Vivian senses his head plopping down against her shoulder, she'll jump a little but would immediately relax upon realizing it was just Icarus... pretty much using her as a makeshift pillow. Despite this being the case, however, a soft, rosy hue would still plummet along her cheeks, because he was suddenly so much closer, reminding her again that she was not quite immune to real men, no matter how brightly coloured their hair was or how non-heterosexual they seemed... then again, she supposed she had no evidence to really suggest what his sexuality was, yet regardless, it doesn't take long for her to shoot Icarus an inquisitive glance when next he spoke.

"Hm... welp, if I had to say, maybe Ein? Because you're always so smile-y... not to mention a very good boy," came her eventual answer. Honestly, she hadn't really meant the last part in a sexual way, but to Icarus, it might as well come across that way. Considering how lovable and cheerful he was, though, Vivian did mean every word she said. "...But you, my friend, look as if you hadn't slept a single wink. Seriously, are you sure you would rather talk to me about Cowboy Bebop than take a long, deserved nap?"

You shouldn’t even apologize for replying to a random message on your own account, especially since it’s clear you didn’t do it with bad intentions. It wasn’t your idea to spread hate, and I haven’t seen you do that since I started following you (about a month ago, I think). In fact, I think you’re nice.

And even though I also saw that you talked about my fellow countrywoman (Isabela) and I commented a few days ago that it wasn’t her fault for looking young, I didn’t even get upset with you because it was your opinion, and your opinion was quite casual and respectful, which was fine.

Well, I’m using a translator, so there might be errors and of course, I’m anonymous because I’m a little embarrassed. You don’t need to respond to this message; it would be enough if you read it and see that someone supports you and tells you that you didn’t do anything wrong.

adiós y besitosss, not gonna smack you🖤

The worst thing about the whole thing is that I KNOW my intentions weren't bad, but the others don't (and won't) see it that way because it was posted and it can't be taken back (especially when people reblogged it, because even though I deleted the post, it's still out there).

But I get it. It's my fault that I wasn't more careful. People don't see in my head. They have no idea what I've been posting and talking about in the last year. I've always talked about Bella Ramsey with respect. I was getting upset with people calling them ugly, and here I am today... one silly, innocent giggle at a funny face they were making, and everyone thinks I started a bully post.

Honestly, I wasn't thinking because, as I said in my apology post, I do giggle at game Ellie's silly faces in photos all the time, and I am so used to it by now that giggling at a meme with Bella wouldn't even occur to me to be a bad thing at first.

But at the end, it was a shitty thing (I admit it), because no matter what my intentions were, it looked bad and wasn't nice because Bella is not a fictional character but a real person. The worst part is that I was just honestly chuckling at the silly face they were making, not the fact that someone was actually making fun of them (I wasn't making fun of them when I hit "post" so it didn't occur to me that this would be exactly what it looked like).

I am not ashamed to admit I was wrong, even though I know a lot of people see me differently now because, as I said, my consciousness is clear. If you look up #bella ramsey on my blog, you won't see any hateful or disrespectful comments or posts about them. Quite the contrary, I was always the one to say they are extremely adorable, and I even remember saying this a long time before S02 was even confirmed, and I was like, "How're they going to pull out the tough look looking like this?!"

I said my peace. In my heart, I did nothing wrong, but on my blog, I did a stupid thing. That was all it was. I kind of deserve the smack, tbh.

Thank you for being so kind. I am glad there are people noticing what I am as a person through my posts.

#hopefully this whole drama ends #i don't want to feel bad coming here just because of a misunderstanding #the last of us #tlou #ellie williams #ellie tlou #bella ramsey #elliespuns answers

Wow, I got an email from a birthday reminder from someone I was following on LiveJournal and remembered I still had one from like 2012. I’ve had other accounts before that one. In fact, my very first one should still be around somewhere in there as I never deleted it. Was from back in 2005. In fact, I still remember the username as it was the first username I had back when I started using the internet for actual real.

My fucking god, the cringe in that journal is enough to melt your face from the second hand embarrassment.

Anyway, I deleted the one from back in 2012. It’s not the same and I much prefer Tumblr despite all the flaws and unpleasant people your run into. Before deleting it I saw someone’s name and idk I guess a pang of guilt washed over me.

Ok, this person, I don’t think saying we were friends is correct. We talked for a while and followed each other everywhere and even moved here at some point and I even added her on FB back when I had my first account. No longer have FB, it’s trash and a lotta family was following and I couldn’t be ME, ya know? Anyway, last time we spoke it was me calling her out on something really dumb she said. I can’t remember but there was some discourse running around here--because of course there was--about a Youtuber who was banned for uploading racist content. Remember when YT gave a shit?

She got mad because people were paying attention to that issue and not some other Youtuber who was apparently problematic. Honestly I was fed up that day and her post was so “Hey, how about you pay attention to THIS guy instead!” and I was like “Dude, we can also bring attention to that guy as well. Nobody’s paying attention to the one you’re talking about because no one knows who the fuck that guy is.”

She blew up a few times at several people and then I called her out on her shitty way of spreading information about someone that needed to be reported. She deleted the post, her Tumblr account and basically every other social media account that she was in. Yeah, she was known for being explosively dramatic. Truth is I coulda worded things a bit better but I confess at that point and time I was resenting her and my patience with her was at 0% and we hadn’t actually talked in over a year. She was one of those that used the “Can’t get mad at me despite having been a shit person to you because I have several mental illnesses.”

I remember unfollowing her on FB after she posted one of those “Leave a comment and I’ll tell you what I think of you” meme things on her timeline that ended with something like “But remember that I have [list of mental illnesses] so if you don’t like what I said about you tough tits, that’s your own fault”.

I honestly thought she woulda reactivated all her accounts and gone back to normal as if nothing happened without even apologizing. I came to expect that of her, she was usually always starting some drama with people and then posting about it so her friends could back her up and then when she was getting attacked back she would once again mention her illnesses.

Look, I really don’t care for people who act like assholes towards others and use their mental illnesses as a shield against criticism and callouts and shit. Still I felt guilty that that was the last thing we said to each other. Granted all I did was callout her shit behavior and since the Youtuber in question was really hated here people reblogged from me and started attacking her as well. It was a shitshow of a situation tbh.

Honestly I hope she’s doing well and gotten more help than she was at the time and that she stopped that “can’t say shit to me because I’m mentally ill” nonsense because it wasn’t winning her any favors or people.

Democratic Debates, Day 1

So a few ground rules:

If you’re going to reply, be an adult about it, and don’t try to read everything in bad faith default lens. Ask questions of anyone who engages rather than accusing. And not in that presumptuous white guy bad faith questioning that isn’t a question tone.

If replying, put your comments with a lead in no longer than two (reasonable) sentences behind a cut. Because

some of us are fandom blogs first or whatever interests and our followers aren’t deeply invested

I just don’t want goddamn pillars of text on my reblog wall if I respond to discussions.

Literally if you’re a republican out to just be a shitlord and start whining or complaining or insulting or “no u”ing, see rule 4

I will not reblog or reply to any commentary that doesn’t fit these very basic guidelines, because internet trolling etc is not worth the future of our country. And that’s very much at stake now.

If you don’t want to see this, blacklist #politics and/or #democratic debates. Now, my takeaways on this, some surprising.

So, I’ll start with some disclaimers: I’m pretty much “vote for my dog over Trump” party line right now but we need to figure out a mix of “our best chance of winning” along of “award for the least tool” with hopefully a side of “I really like them and their policies”

Honestly, I entered this without being fond of Warren. She had some... establishment backing and other things that were just rubbing me wrong. I actually went in to day one looking to hear about Tulsi since I heard great buzz about her but honestly had only pulled up a few pages that sounded great on paper, but wanted to see her in action. Everyone else was littered policy ideas disembodied and, as a very visual person, I need to be able to connect to how they handle their podium beyond writing nice policy platitudes or listening to the toss back and forth online with everybody screaming at everybody else.

I’m also going to get something out of the way, and BEFORE you flame me on my marks on the image, read why I selected one that... I generally wouldn’t. First, this was my original graphic I released.

Okay so sore thumb here: De Blasio. The reason for the circling being simple: if you took every semi-valid idea of every other white guy’s platform on this lineup, gave it a little bit of meat, and showed ACTUAL LIVING PROOF OF HAVING ENACTED IT ALL IN HIS TENURE AND MAKING THE IDEAS WORK, you get De Blasio. A lot of the ideas of the other nominees is basically *hand raise* “I did that.” So like. That’s that.

Anyone with no mark whatsoever is kinda like “you’re there and not trump so good for you” but there’s some updates further down this conversation on one of those.

The internet keeps acting like Klobuchar did well and I really don’t get why. It kinda feels like our token non-canuck trying to appeal to them-there northern hunter-type and cheese folks to reach out as a middle ground without actually committing to much and honestly, she’s just not going to last.

Booker caught my eye even if I was kind of head tilting because that is quite literally the whitest black man I have ever fucking seen, but he made a point about intersectionality, marginalized groups, and held his ground. He was all but unknown to me but I at least looked at him now. On the other hand, a lot of it felt like borderline pandering. I don’t know. I’ll keep an eye on him, but he actually stood out a bit at least. Not hard with the mayo jars up there but whatever.

It’s not a rare take online that Castro took the internet by storm. I love him. Everyone loves him. I do have some concerns long-term though; it’s less having actual problems with his ideas and more knowing that ... our country is too fucked for him right now. He’s advocating some pretty heavily open borders and while in principle I enjoyed watching him stomp on Beto about that, I honestly feel like if we put him against Trump, we’d lose.

There’s people in the red party that ARE tired of Trump, that ARE experiencing a crisis about the inhumane shit going on at the border, that WOULD be willing to crossvote to make it end -- but we can’t forget that a lot of them initially voted for Trump BECAUSE of a deep seeded Xenophobia, and the level of aggression -- again, the kind of aggression I personally agree with -- Castro had may end up being very dangerous long term in getting that vote. Pretty much everyone up there agrees we need very comprehensive immigration reform and immediate action about the travesty, but I feel like unless Castro smooths his roll a bit we’re in for a long term faceplant that gives us another four years of Trumpian hell by people pulling back into their xenophobic mindset and -- if not voting for Trump -- abstaining from voting for him, which I think several other candidates have in their court.

Castro made a bit of a gaffe about switching trans genders but the fact that he tried, I guess. And considered trans in the discussion of choice and birth control etc. It could have very easily just been a stupid fumble. He’s still trying to take it into account. I can forgive that, in the scale of it, even if it has a bit of performer aspect.

Also I’m left to wonder where Castro was when they needed help running in Texas to begin with. I also just don’t see the passion in his eyes of several candidates, it’s strangely calculating on most topics. I like his platform, in theory, but I’m very cautious.

Jay Insley is just weird even if everyone likes him.

Dulaney is a meme and I don’t know why he’s even here.

Tim Ryan accidentally wandered in on his way to the Republican debates as best I can gather.

Tulsi was the one that I was watching. All in all, I was underwhelmed. And then... it got worse.

The better part of her time was spent repeating her time in the military. And while it was great watching her school Tim Ryan, that’s not exactly hard to do. The fact that she lit his ass on fire when he just about self combusted in front of the party without her help -- I mean, it was the highlight of her showcasing aside from the snazzy Rogue hair.

Somehow, for as woke as tumblr is, and the progressives that had me looking her way, I hadn’t heard of her anti-LGBT past which she’s mostly couched her opinions on and held as recently as 2014 or THE FACT THAT I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS VETTED BY THE FUCKING TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO BE ON THEIR CABINET, I’M FUCKING HORRIFIED.

BUT THEN THERE WAS THIS LITTLE GEM THAT I FOUND BEFORE ACTUALLY DISCOVERING THE PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH.

What the FUCK? What are you, seven? That’s literal pre-emptive “my sister stole my phone lol sorry” level tweets. YOU’RE A FUCKING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TALKING ABOUT IMPORTANT NATIONAL MATTERS LOCK YOUR GODDAMN PHONE.

Because THAT’S just what we need, we’ll go from Trump impulse-tweeting to like “LOL fuck korea - lmao sorry my sister texted that”????

Neverminding how STATISTICALLY INCORRECT that is. Depending on exactly HOW you count time Warren got 2nd or 3rd most time -- yes, more than Tulsi. She did not have the most. She did not have “more than all the other candidates combined.” And Tulsi did not have the least time, but center-ground on time. She wasted a bunch of it endlessly reciting her time in the military, scoring an okay shot on Ryan, and... well, vagueblogging about her opinion on LGBT to the vein of “something something equality my bad I was raised conservative” great. Great selling point. Great couching there. Five years ago you were fighting against me having rights and now you’re basically against government deciding what people can’t do but what the fuck is your opinion on me as a human being?

Doubling back from that problem though, that’s when I dug in her LGBT history and ended up tripping over the Trump stuff. AND THIS IS THE CANDIDATE I WENT IN TO HEAR FROM TONIGHT LIKE “YES PLZ LET ME HEAR MORE” because people I knew LIKED her, but then I find out she’s a Trump frand that has Trump-like hyperbolic meltdowns on twitter? NO I DO NOT WANT FEMALE TRUMP WITH ROGUE HAIR THANKS BUT NO THANKS.

Back to Warren, who I started with a MEH on, she came out WICKEDLY strong out of the gate. Her second half was weaker, she kinda has next to no active plan beyond talking/passing around more research on gun reform, but everything else, yes. Do I think she has the potential weight to pull it off, yes. And most of all, watching as she gets mad, upset, or emotional, do I believe she believes everything she said tonight, yes. Look, I know there’s STUFF about her claiming she had Native American heritage or whatever but I’m honestly so far past giving a fuck about the obscure shit like that if they have decent policies because our country is so FUCKED right now that I DONT CARE. She held her ground.

So in the end my spread ends up looking more like

of day 1 contenders, Warren still maintains her strong chance. Castro kind of sprouted up out of the earth and I really goddamn like him, but I do hold caution for my reasons above, because again, our country is THAT FUCKED.

Booker really turned some heads and I liked him Booker... Booker’s very concerned about a lot of marginalized intersectional issues and it took him from “who the fuck is that” onto my radar which is a leap, but he didn’t drill in as hard as Castro did to my mind and I feel like he’s just... I dunno, I could be wrong but I feel like he’s gonna fade. Beto, IDK, still exists, isn’t an embarrassment and doesn’t just morph in with the other white guys up there. He’s not Trump. So I won’t delete him, but let’s say he barely, and I mean BARELY hedged into my consideration in this image, I almost just cropped it over to Warren.

De Blasio is just sort of “status quo, but actually enacts it” but I wouldn’t weep to see him vanish, either. In the end out of this debate though, I see like

Everyone else go home.

ON THE OTHER HAND, MOST CANDIDATES I’M ACTIVELY INTERESTED IN ARE ON THE FLOOR TOMORROW, WHICH BY THE LINEUP IS SLATED TO BE A BLOODBATH.

I’m really, REALLY hoping everybody has the common sense to make such an ass of Biden he’s knocked out early. Like that’s part of why I’m so goddamn interested in day 2. If we end up with Trump vs Biden we might as well all just put on our goddamn clown suits but he has the fiscal backing to push through even if he shouldn’t unless he’s utterly DECIMATED early on.

I don’t like Kamala Harris’ prison industrial complex CRAP but I’d be HAPPY to watch her drag Biden around like a wet rag. Sanders is a given point of interest. Buttigieg is another one to watch. Yang... isn’t... gonna last. But is just sort of a ... fun thing to watch I guess in this mix up. Someone else may surprise me, I don’t know.
