fucking hate how cats think they can mrrp their way out of anything because yeah, they fucking can.

We got a real jam going down

not to BL post but I miss you byeonduck; and also seungho and his shiny nipples 🙏

I love seeing characters make the wrong choice. Like logically, morally, whatever. It should be so easy, so obvious, to do something right for once! But they don’t see it or they don’t care. Their instincts always lead them to choose poorly. Bad for them but great for me because it’s so interesting and I like to watch the suffering. ^_^

hrrrgggggg

as we see skyrocketing amounts of legislation targeting trans youth in particular I’m begging people to stop parroting “your brain matures at 25”. this article by the director of harvard’s neuroscience lab is a good read. like I’m no neuroscientist myself but Brain Complicated. at best “your brain matures at 25” is an incomplete and inadequate summary of a single idea in a relatively new field wherein broad generalizations are almost impossible. *some* aspects of brain development *tend* to *plateau* *somewhere* in your 20s, *we think*; but “brain maturity” is poorly defined, and the data is still highly incomplete. plenty of aspects of the brain demonstrably continue developing well past 30, or for your entire life; on the other hand, plenty of studies have simply failed to include participants over 30, or 25, or even younger. attempting to define maturity, let alone make RULES about it, based on particular neuroscientific metrics, is extremely dicey

and this popsci notion is now actively being used to justify taking away people’s rights so pls stop perpetuating it for the sake of your age gap ship wars or whatever

I just want to see him again.

You said you were open to a discussion. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with your opinion, I’m not saying you are not entitled to your opinion, I’m not shaming you for your opinion. You absolutely ARE allowed to YOUR opinion. I’m only asking you if you can consider another viewpoint because I’m personally finding the discussion very black and white. I’m not attacking you for your opinion, I don’t expect everyone to have the same opinions as me, which is literally what allows for the opportunity to share and discuss things. You are free to think Chris is a creepy cliche who preys on women. What’s it to me? I don’t think you understand that I wasn’t coming to this in bad faith. I’m sorry if I didn’t understand that your blog is not a forum for these discussions. I sincerely apologize.

I can see and acknowledge that you have a different opinion than mine. I see and acknowledge that that is your right to have. What you're asking here is not a discussion, what you're asking is whether I can try and see it how you want it to be seen.

How about we flip the script? You're not willing to look at it like I am, where I've been extremely rational and have actually listed (several times) reasons why it doesnt usually end well. I've also listed reasons why I think its gross for Chris specifically. Further more, I have listed reasons why I believe something about it is fucked up in this particular situation.

If you want to discuss, then lets do that. We do not discuss by asking someone to see it from their point of view. That is not a discussion. A discussion is when I tell you what my viewpoint is and you counter it with your own. List why you believe this situation is a good move for Chris. List why you believe they're in love. List why you believe a 25 year old is the ideal partner for him.

Then we'll discuss.

I need facts, i do not care about any emotional connection to this subject. What i present are stone cold facts backed up by science and even the man himself, because I've told you what he's said about himself and that only adds to the issue.

Now let's have a discussion.

A man is so prone to systems and to abstract conclusions that he is prepared to distort the truth on purpose, prepared to deny the visible and the audible just so he can justify his own logic.

crozier wearing fitzjames' sweater and gloves after he dies makes hickey stealing his boots even more fucked up but also so much funnier actually like they were all just dumpster diving in that man's grave
