found out that Werewolf 5 is out and it looks rlly prtty and i want to run it eventually but the blurb is giving me pacified twitter advertisement... that is NOT what werewolf is about!!

werewolf is about how Gaia is fucking dead.

The icebergs are sliding into the sea. Coastal cities are ravaged by the strongest fucking typhoons and hurricanes humanity has ever experienced.

The forests are on fucking fire while your corpse of a politician is wondering how else they can justify sending soldiers to the Global South to cut down trees and steal oil.

What does this fucking look like to you, huh? The Apocalypse is here? The Apocalypse has BEEN here. The Wyrm is fucking feeding on the corpse of the Divine Mother.

And what are you doing about it? All sad, languishing in your fucking desks. 

Don’t you hear it? Your heartbeat? The only thing left of Gaia is wrath. Your heartbeat is her heartbeat now. Your heartbeat is her ANGER. Her MADNESS. Her FRENZY.

YOU GAROU, WARRIOR SHAPESHIFTERS, SO-CALLED CHAMPIONS OF THE EARTH! Choose: a fucking desk job, or your closest friend ripped apart by techgnomachinery? A normal family life or a huge fucking caern where your lover will mourn you potentially the next day? A little piddly gun or a huge fucking klave?

CHOOSE ANGER. CHOOSE FRENZY. CHOOSE DELIRIUM. LEAP AND FUCKING KISS THE MOON. DIE IN A HEAP OF SILVER BULLETS AND BLADES. TEAR DOWN THE GATES, SHATTER THE SKYSCRAPERS, BURN DOWN ESTABLISHMENTS, RIP APART WALL STREET, CHOOSE THE WORST FUCKING MARIJUANA, CHOOSE A SHITTY 10 YEAR OLD TSHIRT AND SOME DUSTY ASS COMBAT BOOTS

You’ll die either way. So,

will you choose to take this shit on your knees, or will you CHOOSE TO RAGE RAGE RAGE RAGE RAGE

one of the things about being an educator is that you hear what parents want their kids to be able to do a lot. they want their kid to be an astronaut or a ballerina or a politician. they want them to get off that damn phone. be better about socializing. stop spending so much time indoors. learn to control their own temper. to just "fucking listen", which means to be obedient.

one of the things i learned in my pedagogy classes is that it's almost always easier to roleplay how you want someone to act. it's almost always easier to explain why a rule exists, rather than simply setting the rule and demanding adherence.

i want my kids to be kind. i want them to ask me what book they should read next, and i want to read that book with them so we can discuss it. i want my kid to be able to tell me hey that hurt my feelings without worrying i'll punish them. i want my kid to be proud of small things and come running up to me to tell me about them. i want them to say "nah, i get why this rule exists, but i get to hate it" and know that i don't need them to be grateful-for-the-roof-overhead while washing the dishes. i want them to teach me things. i want them to say - this isn't safe. i'm calling my mom and getting out of this. i want them to hear me apologize when i do fuck up; and i want them to want to come home.

the other day a parent was telling me she didn't understand why her kid "just got so angry." this woman had flown off the handle at me.

my dad - traditional catholic that he is - resents my sentiment of "gentle parenting". he says they'll grow up spoiled, horrible, pretentious. granola, he spits.

i am going to be kind to them. i am going to set the example, i think. and whatever they choose become in the meantime - i'm going to love them for it.

luke skywalker i adore you

do you ever just remember how one of the most effective things parvis said to get silence to lose faith in saria was essentially "do you really think she would ever choose YOU over everything?" and silence with her low self esteem really didn't believe saria would.

Then in the end saria really did choose them over everything, left her defense director job and her whole life up to that point behind for the sake of silence and ifrit. and silence still doesnt even know. do you ever think about that and lose your mind a little bit.

I fully believe we haven't seen mk truly lose it on anyone yet--no not even when he fought azure or the curse--mk has always had control over what he's doing outside of accidental fumbles when hes first learning how to use his powers and I'd say he's almost more deadly when he's angry because so far being mad hasn't made him crazy or wild or out of control so far as I've observed being mad has only made him more focused

it's all "oh whirl's so insane and silly" until the "I am angry about what got taken from me and while I am aware of ways to recover it I know the anger I hold over what happened to me is what drives me day to day and if I get what I lost back I'll lose the anger over that loss and I know that without it I'll have no driving force and I feel like I'd be nothing without that anger so I do not want to recover what I lost and would rather carry on with this anger than relearn how to live life without it" kicks in

happy deathiversary to the queen. can we do the rest of the bastards now

You don't step foot in Victoria in... 10 years, and you just show up in the middle of my homicide investigation?

i hope we continue to see more protests within the US military. i see a lot of leftists and folks who are anti-military who have such an open disdain for the people who are in the military, yet neglect to considering the conditions this country makes to produce ideology, poverty, and the illusion of choice to make all kinds of people choose to enlist in the military. You ever see those videos of ROTC kids recording each other asking why they joined the military and everyone's like, "healthcare", "it helped me go to college", "I was bored" or "free ptsd lol". I hate to remind everyone but folks who are in the military are people, too, and they are the same victims and perpetrators of violence as the rest of you, we have all been shallowly conditioned to view each other as enemies just because one person is wearing army greens and the other is not.

some of the biggest anti-war advocates are those who engaged in war. Veterans who genuinely believed they were protecting the US against "terrorism" come back with blood on their hands, and they choose to realize that it was US imperialism that forced them to carry out violence, instead of doubling down and shielding themselves from the fact that they too are capable of atrocities... This is a class of people who are intentionally conditioned to be as poor and as ideologically aligned to US imperialism so that the military has a never-ending pool to send their youth to destroy other country's youth. The only people I have ever heard say "do not join the military" are those who ARE military.

This is in no way to ever excuse or explain away any of the atrocious war crimes and violence this industry and its people have committed against others. What I am saying is that we absolutely cannot cast aside the individuals who have been victimized within US imperialism, even if they are wearing army greens. I was speaking with my Palestinian classmate last week and another classmate--a member of the US air force-- walked up to me and struck up a conversation. My military classmate showed me her new bird, bid both of us goodbye, and left. My Palestinian classmate asked me if I was close with her, and I said we talked quite often, and she said, "I never met a person who's in the military. I still hate the military, but I never knew that they did, too. I didn't realize that they were also victims."

If my Palestinian classmate--one who is actively watching her own community die--can understand that it is not individuals who are the problem but it is in fact systems, US imperialism, white supremacy, capitalism...why can't we all? And she has EVERY reason to hate any individual military member. A lot of online activism just creates more barriers. if your optics look bad, complicated, or contradictory, you are cast aside. Everyone has got the be the perfect activist, you can never make a mistake or share a half-baked thought, you should always believe every word from a marginalized persons mouth (because being marginalized doesn't mean you're not entrenched in white supremacy too!) and you should never question what you see...Do you know what you sound like? The very imperialists who are convincing poor whites to vote against themselves. Perfectionism is white supremacy. Black & white thinking is white supremacy.

I'd rather have a military member who genuinely believed in the US imperialism machine but was disillusioned after being deployed as my comrade than some leftist who cherishes the performance of "being a good person". I don't want "good people" in our movements. I want humans who care. I want humans who make mistakes and who learn from them. I want humans who accept the messiness of a person. I want humans who hold others accountable and allow themselves to take responsibility for their actions. I want people who change for themselves and others.

fight systems, not individual people. we can change each other, but if we're too preoccupied looking like the World's Perfect Activists, we will only consume each other alive. Connect to your fellow humans, forever and always.

it’s really such a crime that rriordan immediately pitted percy and jason against each other when they should’ve immediately bonded over being kidnapped by hera, having their memories erased, and months of time stolen from them. they should’ve been allowed to recognize each other as leaders of their respective camps (and understand what it took to get in that position, because leadership has a cost) and recognize that they are being pushed around the chessboard by the gods AGAIN, and they should’ve gotten the chance to truly combine their strength (with annabeth’s additional leadership skills) and lead the younger members of the seven. and in doing so hera would’ve realized the mistake of giving them common ground, because percy and jason’s combined power? their matching bitterness and contempt for the gods? unmatched. the olympians thought luke was bad, but god help them when percy and jason turn their power onto them

They should have been upset at the rude language, scolded you for the unkindness of it, but just then, they... remembered.

Remembered you.

tapdances but like in the way a bug would tapdance

Wassup fellas anyway uhhhh enjoy some Brotherless AU angst n Reader/SunMoon shared backstory momence yeehaw

dissolves into a small pile of rocks

Jon’s immediate reaction to R+L=J is basically him spending all his years insecure about his bastard status and carrying the weight of being the one stain on Ned Stark’s honor, only to hear that he wasn’t Ned’s source of shame at all and going “you know what, as long as I get to be yours, I’d rather be your bastard”

thinking about stede bonnet again and how he’s probably never been loved in his life and people treat him with nothing but cruelty and contempt, even up until the first few days on the Revenge, but he still spits in the face of all that the world has thrown at him and reads his crew bedtime stories and treats them well and sees the man behind the mask of Blackbeard almost instantly and learns how he takes his tea and consistently chooses kindness and and and

joker: last laugh #6

red robin #26

dick feeling immense guilt over letting his anger get the best of him and killing the joker & tim ultimately saving boomerang despite putting him in that position because he knows in the end he can't be the cause of someone's death no matter what they did to him my beloved

why are people shitting on the death? I mean I'm not a big fan of it either but I'm seeing people shit on the admins for scripting an egg death.

Scripted death happens in stories, dont shit on the admins???

It's an interactive story for the streamers, yes, but every interactive story has shit that must happen, and everything comes to an end eventually.

I'm mad, but at the end of today, it's a minecraft story. :shrug_emoji:
