thinking about connor in prague saying "dad's theory was you got two fighting dogs, you send the weak one away, you punish the weak one." in relation to this episode, and the way the siblings view abuse inside their own family.

shiv and kendall and their belief that connor and roman are the weak dogs that got the brunt of logan's worst behavior, because abuse is reserved for the kids who can't behave - the ones who aren't smart and mature enough to make it in the world. abuse evokes pity, because abuse is what happens when you expect too much from people who obviously aren't capable of more.

and then they go forward in life, believing that they're just naturally more intelligent and more capable than connor and roman, as if being raised seeing what happens to you if you aren't a perfect child wasn't the entire point of the "punish the weak dog" mentality that logan instilled in them. the looming threat implied behind any praise they do receive that tacitly tells them "you're not like roman and connor" because everyone knows what happens to roman and connor.

the absolute height of the rich capitalist mindset. "we're succeeding because of our own merit, and other people fail because they don't have what it takes" when in reality they're succeeding because of arbitrary rules made up by someone who knows that infighting makes meaner dogs.

kinito sweetie you shouldn’t put your face that close to the crt monitor you’re going to hurt thine eye bals

genuinely curious how many people share this sentiment

i ask because personally im demiromantic/demisexual and i'll think someone looks attractive but generally not feel any desire to date or sleep with them. im wondering if this is a common thing or if others think differently? please tell me your experience with this!

the raw guy

some survivalshipping wrow

Garmadon Blast

If you think I could ever be normal about how small he makes them look, think again

Garmadon has definitely slept with men before and I don't care if anyone hates me for this

That is one bigass bisexual man and he's definitely freaky in bed 100%

these bitches got bad luck ions out the wazoo

I feel like more people should talk about the backstory we have on Stone because we have some good details.

Like the fact his sister is a candy "drug" dealer, and I'm pretty sure his sister experimented on him

The first first one I assume is Stone wanting to be replaced by a rabbit so she can experiment on that instead of him.

The caption for the second picture was "No Stone you can't leave yet it's for science"

Also we know his family was shit

And there's also this information about him

Sorry if none of this makes any sense I just want to talk about this Stones backstory. It seems so interesting. I also want to know more about Avrille. But at the same time I have no idea how canon any of this is anymore because it's really old. You can find all the pictures I used on zeddyzi's Tumblr.

Sometimes I feel like people get so caught up in the whole "hehe normal boring human guy dates Oni Dragon son of God such a sillay ship 😝" aspect of Survivalshipping that they completely ignore the depth and beauty of it all. The Dark Lord Himself shows up at a man's doorstep asking for help. Help to become a better man, because in all his years slowly falling to darkness he never learned how to be good. Even when he was good before, it was an unsure goodness, personality copy-pasted from the influences of his brother and father, because that's who he felt he was supposed to be. And now, having fallen again to evil, he crawls back up out of the depths and has the courage to ask for help. And he goes not to his brother, or some great philosopher or teacher, but to an average human man, about as bland as they come. A man who's not sure what he's talking about but speaks in simple enough terms for Garmadon to understand. A man who, despite his fear, puts in real effort to help this ancient beast. Who gifts him a plant that isn't easily killed because he cares that much. And Garmadon is enraptured. Vinny is the wisest man he's ever known, he says. This demon speaks of this small human man with so much awe and adoration and Vinny, despite his complaints about the late nights of talking and asking questions, keeps trying. Keeps helping. Watches Garmadon improve, however slowly. And god I'm getting emotional just typing this out because damn it, it's fucking beautiful.
