When I say I am not waiting for revolution, I mean Im planting things secretly at bus stops, and shoveling snow out of the way of crosswalks.
I mean it in a way where neighbors are stocking community fridges and harvesting in community gardens. Little libraries and strangers giving you shoes bc they couldnt return them. I mean ppl swapping stuff or loaning it out to neighbors theyve just met.
I mean it in a way where a friend who can sew asks me to mend something and a week late brings me cookies as thanks. I mean it in the way a friend makes a playlist for you and it truly brighten your day.
These tiny acts of defiance against cruelty and profit are their own revolutions. And they catch like kindling, small going at first you might not even know that flames there. Than suddenly all at once catching, burning in the darkness of the night.

Jason Grace's lack of personality is an intentional choice on Rick's part to deconstruct what makes the "perfect hero" or the "ideal guy."
Jason's entire character revolves around having everything but still feeling incomplete. Being the golden child and still unfulfilled. Being revered by all but not intimately knowing anyone. No one really knows him.
He's never gotten to chose for himself. Juno plays with his life from day one. His name has already determined his fate. His future is set in stone and it isn't until the end of Heroes of Olympus he makes the choice to veer away from the path he was given - that of praetor, of hero, of the leader.
Jason is intriguing because of his relation to others. Thalia's brother. Nico's friend. Percy's foil. Piper's (comphet) boyfriend. He provides padding for others. His introduction into the universe is meant to help the reader feel Percy's absence. He was never meant to replace Percy, but he constantly feels like he has to.
Jason Grace, who forms connections with the people around him. Who inspires Hazel, befriends and protects Nico, supports Leo, aids Piper in her progression. Jason, who refuses to chose a single camp to stand with. Jason who is constantly held to perfection. Jason who carves his own path despite being consistently stripped of his humanity and agency.
Jason Grace, who died a hero.

if you don't know what to write, write for yourself.
write a story you would read but haven't seen yet; write people you would find interesting but have not met yet; write a place you would visit but hasn't been discovered it.
write for yourself.

I used to be one of those guys when I first joined the Kirby fandom, but everytime I hear a discussion of the series writing that starts with "So the Lore is InSaNe-" and not like, "Kirby has a fun writing style that takes advantage of its cute exterior to tell cool stories that reward player's curiosity and leave lots of room for imagination-" I cringe so goddamn hard.
I kinda just hate that people approach things that encourage investment when they don't expect it as inherently absurd. Like it is fun to joke about how absurd Kirby lore can be, but it really often comes with an air of disrespect or exhaustion rather than like, appreciation that these games are made by people who want to tell interesting stories when they could easily make as much money just making polished enough fluffy kiddy platformers. And when it's not met with exhaustion, it's met with - like I said before - that tone that it's stupid for a series like this TO have devs who care about writing stuff for it. Which is a whole other thing about people not respecting things made to appeal to kiddie aesthetic or tone.
Maybe the state of low-stakes YouTube video essays just blows cause people play up ignorance and disbelief for engagement, but like I STG I hear people use this tone for like actual narrative based games sometimes. Some people don't like... appreciate when a game is made by people who care a shitton in ways that aren't direct gameplay feedback. And they especially don't appreciate it when it comes from something with any sense of tonal dissonance intentional or not.
Anyways, I love games made by insane people. I love games made by teams who feel like they wanna make something work or say something so bad. I love that energy, especially when invested into something that could easily rest on its laurels or which obviously won't be taken seriously. I love this in a lot of classic campy 2000s games, I love this in insanely niche yet passionate fanworks, and I love it in the Kirby series and its writing. Can we please stop talking about it like it's an annoyance or complete joke?
#shut the heck up#kirby#kirby lore#fandom#midnight rambles#im quite talkative today cause my rambling bestie is busy#im also bitter cause im too burnt out to make the things i want to properly express my adoration for this series#but i can waffle about it ig#ive been relying on prose and essay ro express myself a lot in leiu of my usual creative outlets...#i always wanted to make a video edsay series about kirby lore with this expressed ethos#maybe i should just start with essay-essays somewhere#still need to replay all the games for that first though#more streams coming up eventually i swear#tag talking#i read a cool analytical article today that had the same tone as a video essay and i was like 'ah thats the origin of the essay part'#so now i wanna explore that world more of article game and media journalism and such

FNAF MOVIE THEORY AND RAMBLING (spoilers with some images and quotes)
Okay so, idk where to start but i'll try to make everything that i say connect, starting with Garrett, Mike's lost brother.
We see the exact moment he was taken, just playing around and the next second he was in a car that was driving off. But there was no screaming, not even a scared face from Garrett, this is a kid who's not sure why his brother is chasing the car with so much fear.
We obviously know at the end of the movie that William was the one that did it, but there was never an explanation of why. He did say ''First i killed your brother. Now i'll kill you'', but how did he know about Mike's brother? It could be Vanessa that told him about Mike's brother, but there was something off about William since the beginning of the movie, before Vanessa even knew Mike.
Mike is searching for a job and ''Steve'' is looking thru his records and saying he's trying to figure out who he is. Well, that's exactly what he does when he reads his name. He quickly looks up to him in a shocked way, even getting a closer look at Mike like he was trying to recognize his face which he probably does because he starts acting weird and nervous, then he is very insisting on giving him the job that he knows will surely kill him.
But then again, how does he know Mike and Garrett? The name Schmit could be one of the reasons and just looking at Mike's face is a confirmation. Now this is where i start with my theory.
Garrett was taken just like Charlie in the games, no one was looking and then a car just passed by to use that opportunity, making them the first victims in the movie and games respectively.
Now, that gives the possibility that Garrett's father was somehow connected to William, perhaps as a friend or coworker, because why would William go to a place as far away as the woods just to kidnap and kill a random child if the pizzeria was the safest option? He had a reason to target his friend's son, I can't think of one rn, but that could mean Garrett's dad takes the rol of Henry. Explaining why William recognizes Mike, he was the older son of his friend, the brother of his first victim.
As a bonus, that could explain why Garret didn't scream or looked scared and everything happened so fast. He just saw a familiar face, someone his dad knew and wasn't really a stranger.
William says to Mike at the end ''You couldn't just leave it alone, could you?'', he knows what he did and thinks Mike was trying to go after him (i mean, he was looking for him thru his dreams, but something tells me William thinks he was searching for him irl, that's why he's shocked when he sees him right in his office, the thinks Mike finally found him but my guy was just trying to look for a job lmao).
Now getting a little crazier, in the credits we hear some words that say ''COME FIND ME'', who do we need to find? the children? We already know where they are. William? Let that mf be trapped where he is. The only one we don't know where it ended up was Garrett, but where is he? Maybe that music box at the end is an indication that Puppet is present, and the possibility of having some things related to the games could mean that Garrett may or may not be related to the puppet. (Coffcoff Garret being the Puppet just like Charlie).
Now for some silly stuff: I really think this is an AU where William and Henry swap children, Henry has 3 and William only has one. Of course William would have a normal life after killing kids and ruining Henry's life, he doesn't have to worry about his children killing each other, he just takes care of one who can be easily manipulated and lives a normal life as a career counselor. Giving his trophy (the pizzeria) people who can keep it safe.
Meanwhile Henry's family suffers just like the game but with extra steps, but I also think that Mike and Garret having a good relationship is proof of good parenting, not like the games where Mike bullies his little brother and William doesn't give a fuck about them or Elizabeth. That's also my opinion that the movies could work without the bite of '83 or even sister location, all of that could be avoided with a loving family.
The family Michael Afton and his brothers needed, the one that they deserved.
''This isn't how it happend. This isn't real.''

"I know girls who spill I'm sorry's from their mouths like they pump blood to their veins. Sometimes, I am one. I know girls who apologize for asking to go to the bathroom in class, who apologize for everything because they feel like they are taking up more than their fair share of space on this planet. Everything starts with an I'm sorry and ends with one too, constant bookends that we don't even notice anymore. We delete her apology the way we delete likes and ums from speech. I know girls with ten times more apologies than misdemeanours and I wonder how often they hear It's okay. You're more than okay."

throwing my hat into the rbr!charles ring because i can’t get over the insanely comical timing of verstappen.com posting a slide of lestappen photos with the caption “max praises charles 🤝” within hours of the interview of elkann praising charles, calling him wdc material and assuring that ferrari still has utmost trust in him coming out…
like??? the girls (rbr and ferrari) are fighting
it may be a coincidence but it feels like a (very petty) response, perhaps indicative of the fact that contract negotiations aren’t going swimmingly for ferrari right now. as other marvellous people in this tag have said, rbr pr seem to be moulding an image of lestappen as partners, and they just went in soooo hard
ofc this may mean nothing and rbr or max may just be stirring the pot to cause chaos for ferrari (despite how uncharacteristic it is, to me, of max) but it reminds me of when charles liked the lestappen ferrari -> redbull edit after news that ferrari were starting contract negotiations with him came out. it SEEMS that whenever ferrari put out any sort of pr regarding charles’ contract, they receive some sort of direct pushback either from charles or max, which is. pretty damning for ferrari ngl
tldr this reads to me like ferrari and rbr playing tug of war with charles. like rbr is going “oh you praise charles? you promise you’re going to win a wdc with charles? well we have a claim to charles too, in max with his deep respect and connection to charles”
(if you close your eyes and squint they’re attempting to honeypot him with max)
#lestappen gate 2023#disclaimer: speculative and written wirh yaoi goggles on#im sooo curious about what’s going on behind the scenes#they’re killing me its 3am#midnight rambles

Princess Treatment? I want Prince Treatment.
I want the knight I have a lot of sensual tension with to kneel at the foot of my chair and gently unlace my boots and place them to the side. I want them to lean their head against my leg and stare up at me longingly.
I want to look away in embarrassment as they pledge themself to me forever. I want the maids to giggle as we pass and manufacture romantic scenarios we always seem to end up in.
I want to convince my father, the King, to gift them my hand in marriage as a reward for their service and loyalty. My eldest sibling is much more fit to inherit the throne, and it's my duty as a prince to properly honor our vassals.
I want the nobles to gossip about us and the common folks to write romantic stories inspired by us; a tale of two destined lovers torn apart by societal roles finally becoming one.
I want to write heartfelt vows, words I've only ever shown in the small touches we shared, and the longing looks from across the hall that could never contain all the emotions I hold. I want to pull them in for a kiss, our first, in front of an audience of people.
I want to tell the whole world how much I love them at our wedding and have people shocked at how two people like us could ever love each other.

something about jason being a friend to nico for no other reason than wanting to help him, to befriend him, to protect him. no ulterior motive or malicious intent, just a desire to help out a troubled kid. trusted nico for his character and resilience, not because he needed anything from him. jason sticking up for nico even amongst the other quest members. jason seeing past the stigma of hades and death and the underworld and seeing a kid who needed someone in his corner.
something about nico becoming a friend to jason because of who jason is as a person. not because of who his parents are, or his heroic feats, but because jason was privy to a traumatic event, knew nico's best-kept secret and chose to stick by his side. nico trusting jason to keep his secrets to himself until he was ready for everyone to know, and jason sticking to it with no hesitation. nico seeing who jason was and being his friend because he saw jason's character and compassion.
something about jason and nico being each others first genuine friends. jason and nico chose to befriend one another when no narrative or underlying intentions pushed them together. nico could have hated jason, but he didn't. jason could have been terrified of nico, but he wasn't. they just... chose to stick by each other. jason, whose entire support structure was decided by juno and the prophecy. nico, who had never really had someone choose to stick by his side before.
nico losing his first genuine friend and being so distraught and gut-wrenched, he can't share this grief with anyone else. nico feeling, once again, abandoned by the first person who chose him.
#ik percy was his friend too but that was so muddled by each party's feelings its hard to explain so bear with me#i love jason and nico's dynamic sm#jasico#platonic or romantic can be read as either tbh#jason grace#nico di angelo#riordanverse#percy jackon and the olympians#heroes of olympus#midnight rambles

You know I've been thinking all day while at Esports so here's some rambles on Graves. Also cause it's FUCKING COLD AND I HATE IT >:(
@snootlestheangel here ya go to dude :D rambles to enjoy from my chaotic brain
So Graves is used to the heat, coming from the south. He can be fine in like 90° weather (Fahrenheit cause I dunno Celsius) but the moment it's like 30° something he's pissed. He hates the cold and he hates the winter, he's also a cold boy (you cannot tell me he would not be cold all the time for no fucking reason). So being in England and where else SUCKS! He hates it, but Price and Nik are big giant heaters so he enjoys being around them when it's extra cold.
I can see him slipping in one of their hoodies while they are wearing them. So he stays warm. He also has like 15 coats but steals theirs instead of wearing his own.
I also see a couple of Shadows making fun of him for wearing three coats when it's cold, but he doesn't care.
I see him also owning those giant fuzzy socks people have (yes I am one of them, they are da best) to wear so his feet or warm. He can't wear em while he's got shoes on unless he's wearing some big boots.
Hmmm that's all I got for now
#nikpricegraves#pricegravesnik#phillip graves#captain price#cod nikolai#cod price#cod graves#cod mw2#a lil bit of oc lore sprinkled in#midnight rambles#hope you enjoyed the rambles snoot#cause i always enjoy reading yours :D
