Yes I do consider it a MASSIVE red flag when someone only ever refers to women as “females”!
That’s nasty, creepy shit!
Incel behaviour!
I can look past it when the Ferengi do it.
But not in real life!
Side Note: TERFs please stay far away from this post. Your bigotry and neurotypical ableism are not wanted here.
Keep that shit in the Tory Party.
Anyways

Going to be rambling insanely about Ghost and probably what his feelings on the monarchy would be, coming from one deeply damaged povo to another.
Anyway, specifically around the time the parasite in chief in her idiot hat (thanks Eccleston lub u) died and passed said idiot hat on, I was seeing a lot of (fun and gentle-ribbing, mind you!) posts about Ghost getting razzed about the queen croaking and maybe him being sad about it or something - I don’t really remember bc I have shit for brains and I just latch onto what bits my adhd will allow.
SO. I really don’t think Bruv Innit gave two shits about Liz buying the farm, bc he grew up working class in a working class town to a drug addicted, drug peddling dad, and a fairly nondescript mom who likely didn’t have a way to get her and her kids out of that shit situation (per ‘09 MW lore and some presumption). I imagine dude was dragged around a shitload of council estates and his dad’s friends’ shitty crash pads, no stability whatsoever, where food insecurity was a big ass forever-looming deal, mom had no idea if her 20 year old vauxhall was going to make it another trip to her minimum wage part time job, and school was forever on the back burner bc when it came to school supplies/trips vs eating and keeping the lights on. You can guess which one won.
If we’re also going with him being about 35-40ish, he would’ve been 10-12ish or so around Diana’s divorce and then her death. So, here’s this starving, horrendously abused kid, with his starving, horrendously abused mother and little brother, drowning in a system that is pretty much just letting them sink to the bottom, nothing is being done about the evil sperm donor that ruins everything for them, and he’s obliterated constantly by TV coverage and tabloids and radio DJs talking about this goddamned family’s stupid fucking drama. Charles cheated, Diana left, her poor boys in their fancy private schools with their endless wealth and glowing skin and brand new clothes that don’t stink of consignment shops are sad.
Sorrows - sorrows, prayers. 🫶
It’s a story he’s seen countless times, the only difference is money and coverage. And, realistically, the women in the stories he knows aren’t killed in car wrecks, they’re killed by their infuriated husbands who think they’re owed something catching up. Maybe that’s why his mom doesn’t leave the cocksucker that trapped her, she could’ve ended up another council house Diana that no one gave a shit about.
He grows up, becomes a butcher’s apprentice, joins the army. Straightens his brother out, makes sure his mom is set up nice, finally beats the shit out of his dad. And all the while, there looms the most fucking pointless, parasitic family in England: living off taxes taken from the public, god knows how much land and how many castles, even owning all the fucking swans on the island.
Relics, vampires, leeches.
But, you know, twenty years down the road, he’s pushing 40, his services to the country are done in the dark, the family he tried so badly to save were brutally cut down anyway, and when he goes to Tesco, the price of a fifth of piss Smirnoff is insane, and he’s still got Soap swimming in his head mid-rant bc his mam’s fucking knee replacement appeal has been denied for the third time and she can’t even walk anymore, Gaz is moving for the second time in a year bc he just can’t afford to live close to his parents even on his salary, meanwhile there was a stretch where it looked like Philip was surviving solely by being pumped full of virgin blood and straight stem cells.
So, yeah, if anything he probably said cheers when the news broke and cracked a couple extra jokes that day.
“What d’you call one dead Windsor? A good start.”
Edit: This is picking up some traction. @50cal-fullauto-astarion is my CoD blog if you like my Call of Bullshit stuff, this is my main and I don’t really go into CoD here

Fellow Europeans! I implore you not to vote for the UK in this year’s Eurovision.
If the English doesn’t get their yearly reminder that the rest of Europe can, and will, turn on them in a second - who knows what they’ll do?

Technically, I could go to the NBT concert in Cardiff because my vacation time falls on that week. Monetarily, tough? *big sigh* 😮💨 Why's everything so expensive? And I would need a passport, as well. The logistics ain't it, fellas. 😞

So many fragile middle aged white men can’t comprehend that if their country slaughters and plunders the shit out of a country they’ve colonised and brutalised its people, that those people will then look for somewhere else to live, and then in likelihood seek refuge in the coloniser’s nation.
Seriously…
Why the fuck do you think so many Algerians and other African folks have had to move to France?!
You seriously think it’s a malicious plot by “tHe JeWs¿!” Fuck RIGHT off with that small minded antisemitic bullshit!
We both know it’s not that!
Like, what the FUCK did you expect! They’re seeking refuge in your country because you plundered and razed the shite out of theirs.
Own that shit!
For God’s sake!
Are they stupid?
It’s like they can’t comprehend the consequences of their own actions.
Fucking colonisers! I knew they were stupid but still.
Please reblog the shit out of this.

So like, I understand this is not the specific intended parallel, but low-key Suvi telling Orima "maybe if you come here you get what you get" and later talking about how she kind of hates the great spirits right in front of Eursolon is very much reminding me of people I knew ranting about how Brexit would be great because it would "get rid of all these european immigrants and clear the way for people who actually deserve to be here" while my Irish ass was just sat there knowing that if I said anything they would immediately bring up the "special relationship" between Britain and Ireland, and how I'm not really an immigrant because XYZ.... and really, what they meant was: "you're my friend, and I can't acknowledge the way your identity interacts with my political views without feeling like an asshole, so it's more convenient for me to deny that aspect of your identity outright"
Idk it just really hit me while listening how much that actually hurt me. At the time, I don't think I felt able to acknowledge what that feeling actually was.

you guys gotta realize that internally ghost is probably So cringe fail other than the bad jokes he tells soap during 'alone'
like outwardly there's not much cringe fail shit he does especially around others, but you KNOW when he has the time & feels safe enough that he allows himself to be (he'd probs go bonkers if he didn't, even for a moment)
like. he listens to california girls by katy perry in his brain on repeat when he's alone (he knows snoop dog's rap), goes to his tattoo artist to add more cringe military based tattoos like the ones on his sleeve (he thinks they're sick asf and funny), and he probably watches those videos where someone fixes things with instant ramen because he knows how impractical it is but finds it hilarious
hell i can possibly even see him seeing stupid memes on the internet and taking the templates to make ones about 141 and his experiences to cope because he thinks it's funny. the only person who knows (probably) about them is laswell because she probably has a copy of his desktop (and he knows this) files
