I can’t even imagine how painful it must have been for Stede to come home and see that life had easily continued on without him. He left the world of piracy because he felt that he didn’t belong, that he had ruined all the parts of it he had touched, and that he had hurt his loved ones.

So he goes home to what’s familiar, to where he thinks he might have some sort of belonging…only to find that everything happily went on without him. That his portrait was painted over. That his son had forgotten him.

Like, in that moment, he has nothing. No crew, no love, no family, no belonging. The last little bit of familiarity he had is now foreign to him. What he knows doesn’t even know him anymore.

#OFMD #Stede Bonnet #Revenge Rambles #went to bed seeing stede whump gifs on my dash #so i woke up and chose VIOLENCE THIS MORNING HSDKLS #No but God #I was just thinking about that part where he's alone with the candle and he brushes over his blacked out portrait #He's in the dark figuratively AND literally #AND THE THOUGHT MADE ME TAKE SEVERE SEVERE DAMAGE AND REALIZE JUST HOW HURT HE MUST HAVE FELT RIGHT THERE #HOW EMPTY AND LOST AND CONFUSED #LIKE #HELLO??#HELLO???#'Jodi it was self-inflicted' Maybe so but like #He thought he was doing EVERYONE a favor by going home #He thought it was the right thing to do #He thought he could just carry on and put his own happiness in his back pocket because it would make everyone else happy #And even THAT proved incorrect #He didn't find solace by returning home either #In that moment there was NO place for him #Like are you kidding #ARE YOU KIDDING #So often I focus on how much Ed was hurting because YEAH OF COURSE #But then I sit back and think about Stede and I'm like mmmMMMSFHDJKGHLD

re: that gamete article, I think what’s also compelling to anti-trans activists is that gametes are invisible - it’s the same reason why debates about chromosomes are persuasive, they are imperceptible in all social interactions outside of a doctor’s office, and so counter-intuitively they can be argued as being always visible, always seeping out through our pours as a gendered essence that cannot be concealed or changed. actually being able to look at your individual gametes or chromosomes is gated behind medical institutions, and because of this inaccessibility they can be loaded with all kinds of social and political meaning, converted into a mystical essence contained within the body that imbues you with a gendered spirit. this is why I don’t think we should ever concede that transphobes are making biological arguments - they are using the authority of evolutionary and medical biology to do gender metaphysics, it’s a deliberate mystification of scientific authority for reactionary political goals. they aren’t making scientific claims and they aren’t trying to

#even old new york was once new amsterdam #again correcting this is important and this isn’t a dismissal/argument against the article I linked #outlining just how incorrect transphobes are is very useful #but outside of empirically proving them wrong I don’t think we should ever be arguing on their terms

One night at the Hotel, they're scrolling through HellFlix and Vaggie suddenly gasps.

Vaggie: NO FUCKING WAY! It's finally on here!

Charlie: What? You find a show you like?

Vaggie: Not just "like", this is the best show EVER! I've wanted to binge it with you for years!

Charlie: Oh, neat! So, what show is it? What's it about?

Vaggie: I got three words for you, babe. Xena. Warrior. Princess!

SHE WILL RULE IN HELL AT LAST! HER TV SHOW SHALL REIGN SUPREME IN THE HEARTS OF THE MOST DANGEROUS BEINGS IN HELL!!!!! there is just ONE worrying part to that though....

Charlie: "Wait, she kills the king of hell?"

Vaggie: "It's not a historically accurate show babe don't worry about it."

Charlie: "Still... now I'm picturing her murdering my dad. Not sure how to feel about it..."

Lucifer: (intensely eating popcorn behind them) "Well I'd feel GREAT about it!"

Charlie: "Wh- Dad!?"

Lucifer: "It would be an honor."

Charlie: "To be KILLED by her???"

Lucifer: "Of course! Look at her snarling war face! Look at her THIGHS-"

Charlie: "DAD!!!!!"

Vaggie: (sighing) "Wish I was king of hell so she'd murder me..."

Lucifer: "Poor Maggie." (pats her) "There there, maybe Xena- or Gabrielle might be better seeing as you've been cheering every time she comes on screen- maybe they'd agree to murder the princess consort of hell too?"

Vaggie: "I uhhhh- s-sir, me and Charlie, we're not-"

Lucifer: "Right yes of course! Future princess consort."

Vaggie: "Ffffffuture-?"

Charlie: "DAD HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT ABOUT XENA!? YOU ARE STILL MARRIED TO MOM!"

Lucifer: "Ohhh Char-Char.... Lilith would be FIRST in line for death at the hands of this warrior princess lady and her gal pal. Especially if they used those amazing thighs of theirs to-"

Vaggie: "Sir, please don't finish that sentence and ruin the best show in all creation for my girlfriend by adding more family trauma."

Lucifer: "Whoops! Gosh am I saying too much now? Oh golly, my bad my bad, ha ha ha!"

Charlie: "...."

Vaggie: "Sweetie? Wanna switch the show off for a while?"

Charlie: "....actually, Vaggie..."

Vaggie: "?"

Charlie: "... D'you think we could get a Xena costume in your size?"

Lucifer: (jaw drops)

Vaggie: "Hhhhh... I- yeah, probably? I mean.... this is hell, and her outfit is mostly leather, so...."

Charlie: "Would you wanna wearrrrr it~?"

Lucifer: (drops popcorn)

Vaggie: "Do you even have to ask?"

Charlie: "Mmmm heheh- but I like setting a good example, and you know I loooove it when people ask~"

-THUD-

Charlie: "ohshitballsdickfuck- DAD-"

Vaggie: "Hostia!"

Lucifer: "IM FINE! AHAHAHA"

Charlie: "Dad- dad im so SORRY i forgot you were here-!"

Lucifer: "NO NO I HEARD NOTHING AND AM A-O-KAYYY!!!!"

Charlie: "You fell face first onto your own cane! You're BLEEDING!"

Lucifer: "Everything is fine! Once I've been sick into this bag of popcorn i will be extra specially FINE and our little impromptu family tv night together is going SO SPLENDEDLY WELL, isn't it Maggie!?"

Vaggie: "Ajo y agua..."

Charlie: "VAGGIE HELP- THE BLOOD??"

Vaggie: (sighing) (smiling) (standing up)

Vaggie: "...I'll go get the first aid kit."

-silly bonus-

Niffty: (from under couch) "I'll trade you the first aid kit for a vile of his bloooooood~~"

Charlie, Vaggie, Lucifer: (screaming and jumping on the couch and clinging to each other in terror)

Niffty: "Don't worry!" (giggles) "It's just for my Collection~"

Charlie, Vaggie, Lucifer: (screaming LOUDER)

Mongolia: I have no idea who the hell you are

Timurid Empire: TAMERLANE IS A DESCENDANT OF THE GREAT CHINGGIS KHAN UKHAII (please believe me) 💪💪

Mongolia: Leave my bathroom

#Yeah the Timurid Empire was not Chinggisid #Tamerlane had Mongol ancestry but he was not of Chinggisid lineage #He claimed Chinggisid lineage for political legitimacy #He did have Mongol heritage but this was from the Turkicized Barlas clan #And he had like so many stories of how he was related to Genghis LMAO so #We don't know how true a lot of these claims are and Timurid even married a descendent of Genghis to try and prove his legitimacy #He literally idolised Genghis lol #aph mongolia #hws mongolia #hetalia #hetalia world stars #hetalia world series #hetalia world twinkle #Hetalia Mongolia #Historical hetalia #incorrect hetalia quotes #Incorrect hetalia #Aph Timurid empire #Hws Timurid Empire #Hetalia Timurid Empire #hetalia memes #hetalia shitpost #Hetalia asia #Aph Asia #Hws Asia #Hetalia meme #Hetalia shitposts #This is that stupid fucking #MY ANCESTOR :D meme #Btw ukhaii I think is supposed to be a Mongol war cry 🗿

Steve: how petty can you get?

Tony: I once built a machine to convert sound energy into electrical energy, just to win a bet .

Tony: It's now worth 90 million dollars

Steve: ...what was the bet?

Tony: Oh, my MIT professor bet that I couldn't weld 2 wires together without burning myself.

Tony: I lost the bet, but I did make 90 million dollars. Each year I write him a cheque of 90 cents and have happy drive to his house in a limo to give him a signed photo of me just to get back at him

Bucky: okay, now that's petty

the sokal affair was fucking hilarious actually and i dont trust anyone who disagrees. if i ever get to TA a course (i dont care what the course is on) im assigning that paper as a reading with no context and the seminar topic will be critical thinking and media literacy

#'he was making fun of the social sciences' this is true. you are forgetting part 2 though which is: we deserved it.#ohhhhh the physicist doesnt think social philosophy contributes to academia.... ohhhh he thinks postmodernism is inherently bad....#*loud buzzer noise* INCORRECT!! getting butthurt about it proves his point!#if YOU are not YOURSELF writing nonsense gibberish papers then THAT'S GREAT!#but when there is a trend in your field of discourse and language looking like incoherent nonsense #the question of whether that field has a Nonsense Problem is an academically responsible one to ask #frankly i think that designing and carrying out a double-blind trial to test social scientists' bullshit radar was kind of delightful #like. that's the most hilariously positivist approach i can imagine #and it is not even a LITTLE bit his fault that we failed that test.#the truth is that if a physicist can catch us with our pants down that easily we should probably consider investing in some suspenders.#adventures in academia #rhi talks

Mandalorian season 3 coming out right now is making me feel pressured to write my Mandalorian fics right now before something in season 3 makes them irrelevant.

#i'm saying stuff #the mandalorian #yes i can still write them after season 3 is over whether or not s3 proves my hcs incorrect #or even after season 3 is over and the hype dies down #BUT THE PRESSURE IS HITTING

Every time I see someone call Inej an assassin part of my soul dies a little

#besties that isn't her job! its just factually incorrect to call her that!#i don't remember seeing it happen before sab which for some fucking reason repeatedly calls her one when. again. its just not correct. so #im choosing to blame sab and a general lack of reading comprehension #like i get that if you call her a spider ppl who haven't seen the show wont know what you mean but the word spy is literally right there #and its much closer to the truth but i guess that wasnt girl boss knife wife enough for them #it does get really funny when they use the assassin label even though she hasnt killed anyone by the time the show is happening so she just #seems kind of incompetent (like most of the crows do tbh). like if you have a moral opposition against killing ppl and you've never taken a #like you mislabeled her character even in your own universe #anyways we dont need to rehash all the reasons its a bad show #one of these days im gonna do some internet sleuthing and try to figure out what was in her wiki entry before the show was announced to see #if it called her that bc if it did then we can prove these dummies didn't read the book and just skimmed the internet #before anyone nitpicks me idk if they actually call her an assasin in the show itself but they called her one in all the promo materials #inej ghafa #shadow and bone #anti shadow and bone #*people who haven't read the book. not seen the show

I am a bitch (just accused my apartment complex of being predatory and unethical for denying me several kinds of renter's rights and charging me hundreds of dollars unfairly while I'm still living there)

#i have 0 self preservation instinct istg🙏🙏#but they tried to charged me 300 dollars for no reason after i spent 2 weeks explaining that what they were charging me for was bullshit #they let strangers in without any warning #AND theyre now charging me several hundred dollars for damages i did not do with incorrect paperwork and pictures of damage i didnt do #and they wont even give me receipts for why theyre charging me as such 🙏🙏#I have reached out to my uni for help but their law help works FOR my apartment complex so ill have to pay it but on GOD #they are AT LEAST GOING TO CHARGE ME WITH THE CORRECT PAPERWORK #does it make a difference? probably not. i don't care theyre charging me hundreds of dollars and denying me renters rights #also they made me waive my rights to class action ♥️♥️#so they need to at least not have mistakes on their paperwork. even though they did in what theyre charging me #since my desk was fine and theyre charging me 230 for damage that was not present when I moved out♥️♥️#but theyre also charging me another couple hundred for painting and carpet cleaning for regular wear without proving it cost that much so #yknow #anyways!!!!!!!!!!!!#theyre evil #and I AM making my own life more anxiety inducing by saying so but come on. they need to know I'm aware of what theyre doing

Hey guy on nextdoor? Why have you written a post that says "small exotic pet found in [location]. It's obvious he's been well cared for and must be missed by someone. Please help me find the owners. Meantime he is very safe and well."

WHAT PET????? WHAT IS THE SPECIES OF THIS ANIMAL?????

#ink post #rambling #this is literally it. theres no picture. no one has commented. i might comment even tho i never do bc WHAT??#like is this like when you go to a store manager bc you lost your wallet and they make you tell them the name on the cards inside first?#you cant prove yourself the owner of this exotic pet unless you can tell him what exotic pet went missing in this location exactly?#...i really really hope it's a rabbit. thats the only option where the pet's escape doesn't become extremely worrying #or i guess he's incorrect about it being cared for and the feral flamingos and peacocks are somehow still around

I just like to be useful. You know, to the Fellowship? I just never feel useful.

Y/N at some point

#source: buffy the vampire slayer #incorrect lord of the rings quotes #incorrect quotes #this would be even worse if reader's a woman in this scenario #since the Lord of the Rings is set in medieval times #and women going to fight would be very frowned upon #so she's desperate to prove that she can be useful #both out of a genuine desire to help and worry that they won't want her if she can't #😔

Nothing quite as humiliating as writing a self-indulgent fanfic that randomly popped into your head and wouldn't leave you alone and then realizing it is also turning out to be, as the kids would say, cringe ay eff, and then realizing that it being humiliating and cringe means I still have not fully understood that all us silly little internet people enjoy our silly little self-indulgent nonsense in our respective silly little internet gremlin caves and I, for one, love other people's silly little self-indulgent fics and therefore need to once more enter the battle ring with my own braincells and armbar them into submission so I can enjoy these 2414 words of unplanned and mostly aimless shenanigans just because I like A Character and A Concept and writing is an easy form of creative outlet for me

#and expand them because the fic does not have an ending yet #sometimes the Altaïr brainrot hits and you just have to obey #I barely go into the AC realm anymore and I'm getting whiplash from having to look up stuff #I'm still probably incorrect on 90% of it and the signing but you know what #we ball #read: we look up 738438 questions about signing and selective mutism #and then reach the conclusion that I probably won't portray it correctly anyways but at least my search history will reflect that I tried #who am I trying to prove this to? idk #myself I guess #idk if I'll even post it #fanfic #delete later #probably idk #rambling

Ha! You are too late, fool!

I have already made a YouTube video, and when I presented your opinion I did it in a “silly” and totally not ableist voice, thereby depicting you as part of a classification of people that I perceive as lesser than me!

I have won this argument.

#ableism #please stop doing this #if their arguments are incorrect you should be able to prove it without resorting to ridiculing people with stutters/lisps/disabilities #tired of even people I agree with doing this #it’s the audio version of wojak and chad
