Watching FMAB with my roommates and realizing that Greed TRULY IS the definition of mansplain, manipulate, manwhore AND manslaughter

dude i fucking love how this server has communication as its premise and built into its fucking core. i fucking love that. bc it's one thing to be like 'this server is about multilingual communication and cultural exchange!!' bc that could present in any NUMBER of ways but like. with the federation and the eggs and a common shared goal they all decided WE ARE A TEAM. and like, ok,

when baghera was sus of jaiden because of the thing when pomme died and jaiden had been the reason baghera left her side for the only time that day, i wasn't even worried. i wasn't worried bc i was like "we just wait. because i know they will TALK TO EACH OTHER." and I WAS RIGHT. TWO DAYS LATER IT WAS ALL CLEARED UP AND BAGHERA WAS HELPING HER OUT WITH CUCURUCHO

and the ordo theoritas is functionally a secret organization. it would be SO EASY to gatekeep the lore, on grounds of "the federation is always watching and anyone could be a spy" and yet the ordo theoritas says that, like bad SAYS THAT, says OUT LOUD, "anyone could be a traitor" and then turns around and goes "hey person i've had a few days' worth of conversations with, here's a detailed rundown of everything we've learned about the island's mysteries, and the secret location of the ordo base". SOFIA was supposed to be secret from everyone, and for a little bit she was. but now like, the ordo theoritas is showing her to everyone. it would be SO EASY to hide things and to gatekeep things but they just. don't do it. here's the supercomputer!!!! don't forget to grab her waystone so you can come back anytime!!!

bad learns something. "i need to tell forever/cellbit/baghera". forever figures out a new way to protect the eggs, and he gets it to everyone within days. cucurucho tries to have a secret conversation and the entire server knows about it almost instantly and there are three people buried in the walls reading the subtitles and giving each other meaningful glances

i love it. i love it. miscommunication plotlines drive me up the fucking wall and the fact that i wasn't even SCARED when jaiden and baghera could easily have angled into an angsty tangled web of that and instead just MET WITH EACH OTHER AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING AND CLEARED THE AIR ALMOST IMMEDIATELY was so fucking breathtaking. and this is a multilingual server. this is a MULTILINGUAL SERVER. i love it. i love it so much i want to cry. it's a server for communication and people Communicate, it would have been SO EASY to slip into monolingual factions and stick to the familiar but they DIDN'T. they DIDN'T. WE GET TO HAVE A THEORY TABLE WITH SO MANY LANGUAGES SITTING AROUND IT. we get to have conspiracy walls in every language!!!! idk sometimes i forget how fucking CRAZY all this is, like the scale of what they've accomplished

so yea thank you to quackity and the qsmp admins for this, and thank you to the streamers for hearing 'this is about connections' and taking it ENTIRELY to heart, and also thank you to whoever the fuck decided to give quackity's school class the job to look after a fucking egg to learn about parenting. bc holy shit. holy shit.

Lana Del Rey for Paris Match, (2017)

In emphasizing that Ken needs to look past romantic love and search for satisfaction within, Barbie is of course also staking a claim about her own identity and value. In doing so, she’s joining with a broad trend in kid-friendly entertainment: we no longer make movies where a heroine’s destiny is to fall in love. If you look at Disney movies in particular, the classic storyline of the protagonist getting her man in the end has been pretty definitively retired. The last movie of theirs that could be said to hold romantic love as the fundamental goal of the protagonist is Tangled, and even that’s debatable. Frozen and its sequel very directly reject that story structure, while films like Moana and Raya and the Last Dragon are indifferent to it. And, you know, that’s all fine; there’s lots of different good stories out there. But I do think that the out-and-out abandonment of the notion that love is the noblest pursuit of human life says a lot about our cult of self-worship. Because once you’ve dropped the romantic ideal, that’s all our culture really has to offer. ... The individual problem is that telling people they are enough is a cruel thing to do, because they aren’t enough. None of us is enough. I don’t know you, personally, but I can still say with great confidence that you are not enough. If you go through life uncritically accepting the Instagram ideology that you can #manifest everything you deserve because you practice #self-care and are #valid, on a long enough time frame you’re going to end up alone and miserable and profoundly aware that the idea of total emotional self-sufficiency is a transparent lie. Human beings need other human beings. All of us. You might be inclined to lament that fact, and you’re entitled to if you want. But you don’t get to choose to be self-sufficient, any more than you can choose to not require oxygen or water. We’re all interconnected in these vast webs of social influence and causality, whether we want to be or not, and very very few of us can last for long without relying on other people. The connections that save us don’t have to be romantic, but they do have to be connections.

No One Is Kenough, Freddie deBoer

I hate it when people try to force a persona on me calling me shy , I just don't want to talk to YOU

baptize me in lanas tears

The Blight family are so interesting IN THEORY. In execution they are....😬

I have been thinking. In your professional opinion. Do you think hannibal lecter would view borrowers as hors d’oeuvres or would he respect them. Like it all comes down to whether he views borrowing as stealing or as an understandable necessity for them, right? Maybe it rather comes down to whether they abide by the rule of only taking what won’t be missed. Maybe he can even empathize with them for having to keep himself hidden, metaphorically or otherwise. Anyway, i’ve been thinking about how fucked up it would be to be a borrower in hannibal’s house. He’d probably notice, right.. what if you had to choose between borrowing human meat or starving. So sorry for this ask bro

NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR CANNIBALISM IN MY ASK. THIS IS MY JAMMMMM

I think you’re definitely right, Hannibal would respect borrowers as long as they respect him. His whole thing is hating the rude, but it’s not rude to try to survive. As long as they only take whats needed, don’t make a mess, and don’t cause problems with the FBI, I feel like he wouldn’t mind one in his house. He’d probably even enjoy the tiny ‘audience’.

He might even use it to his advantage, imagine if like, Will caught a glimpse of the borrower. Hannibal would deffo use that as a way to gaslight Will further, tiny people don’t exist Will, you’re going insane! Maybe if Hannibal was even on good terms with the borrower, they could even have them actively talk to Will and make him feel insane - maybe the borrower either works with Hannibal bc that’s their food ticket, or they’re being manipulated too.

It’s also be awful to have to borrow human meat to survive, especially if the borrower had no clue it was human in the beginning. But I’m also thinking of like, what if the borrower was cool with it? They aren’t a human, is it actually cannibalism? No other borrower has likely ever eaten human meat before- how could one even kill a human much less butcher it? Isn’t there something a little tantalizing about getting to eat your biggest predator? I think it’d be so neat if the borrower was a little freak about all of this, just as much as Will and Hanni

god thank you for this ask anon i WILL be rotating borrower cannibalism in my head all day (pos) <3
