This is my teacher. Today's his 44th birthday. He's celebrating it at the afterlife though.

O captain, My Captain, Mr. Pagangpang, Sir, you will be missed.

Forcing your ambitions to the delicate shoulder of children is much worse than child labor.

Just read the comic where Joker runs into Robin!Tim for the first time post Ethiopia and starts raging about “How are you back!? I killed you! I killed you! No matter, just gotta do it again then!”

And it got me thinking again about how similar Tim and Jason must have looked in costume and just—

(Look I’m not saying there was a part of Bruce that was comforted by having “Jason” close again but—-)

1 : Soap never had any idea that woman wanted him carnally, he's not the most observant on that front (he never noticed Ghost flirting with him and thought his love was one-sided for the longest time, but tbf Ghost was also very discreet about it)

2 : He sewed the hat, eyepatch and hook himself, because he's the best uncle and then got distracted as he was wrapping it up, so now he's watching a tutorial on youtube about how to build a voice box. Honestly how hard could it be, he builds explosive devices as a hobby (listen, Price doesn't have to know)

3 : He is out to his family, but doesn't want his mum to know he has a boyfriend because he knows she'll insist on meeting him and welcoming him to the family and making a big deal out of this, and he knows that Ghost isn't ready for that.

4 : Christmas is obviously a very hard time for Ghost, but he is very very in love with Soap and some days still can't believe that it's mutual, but then his Johnny does something like that and his head gets quieter while he's melting a bit.

5 : For the people that didn't see my other post : the bird is a Caique parrot, and they're supposedly very energetic, a bit loud, medium sized, unintelligible, very friendly to what they consider their family, adventurous and danger prone, with an explosive personality and a hate of boredom, so basically the adhd bird.

Very funny to me how Stansas present her character as being so interesting and complex because of her vulnerabilities, while simultaneously ignoring those same vulnerabilities in other characters. Dany is sold as a bridal slave and lacks agency throughout AGOT and after. Her dragons are either too young/small to utilize effectively or locked away for the majority of the story. They aren't some all-powerful trump card that protects her from harm. Arya is captured as a prisoner of war, forced to watch countless people tortured and murdered, and then essentially enslaved in Harrenhal with no way to fight back. She has an entire arc of feeling powerless, of being a "mouse", during ACOK. She doesn't have "kung-fu" or the ability to magically fight her way out of every situation, she's a young child lacking physical strength with only the most basic sword training.

Sansa isn't the only female character, she isn't the only young character, she isn't the only character who suffered, and no one is obligated to prioritize her. I'm so tired of Dany and Arya being mischaracterized and having their stories erased to prop Sansa up. "Sansa has kept her dignity" In other words, let's praise her for having a level of security that Dany and Arya don't have access to. She hasn't ever been forced to make a hard decision which of course means that she's morally superior to them. They can't even admit to themselves that her lack of action is due to her own passivity. If it doesn't fit their delusion, they erase it from the story and expect the rest of us to play along. Ask one of them what they like about her character without bringing up her being the ultimate victim, and I genuinely don't believe they'd be able to give you an answer. They belittle other characters more than they talk about her and these takes just scream insecurity/jealousy at the content and development other characters have in their POVs.

i'm so charmed by the letter trapper gets back from his wife in "kim"

louise mcintyre is hilarious actually

Bro I hate fundamentalists and culturally-fundie parents they'll say shit like "spare the rod spoil the child am I right haha yea my parents used to have to beat my ass with a switch almost everyday but I sure did learn my lesson" but like??? no you didn't??? you were hit multiple times for something you very obviously did not, in fact, learn

Like studies about how harmful even lightly spanking children is aside, you're literally contradicting yourself?? Some even admitted they got worse as they got older cause they wanted to see how far they could push their parents before they got punished

And studies not aside, you're gonna get child raising advice from the same book that tells you to stone your wife if her hymen doesn't break on your wedding night instead of the decades of research we have now?? Just say you're a bad parent and move on my guy. Skill issue

“Sing, let your heart soar! Sing forever!

Sad and so happy! Feelings flow over

Now our world is full of all kinds of colors

Closing my eyes, I still can see the stars…”

Overmorrow -FIN-

the thought of cracking the spine of a book makes kevin nauseous. he like opens it just enough to see the words and holds the book at such uncomfortable angles to read— anything to keep the book pristine and intact. he does not let people borrow his books because he is a control freak (as a term of endearment) and does not trust them to take care of them the way he does.

and andrew is the complete opposite, cracking the spine as soon as he opens it. he annotates in pen. he dog ears the pages because who the fuck has time to find a bookmark. he throws books out of anger. he throws them at aaron for fun. he lets them get smashed and torn in his bag. he always keeps them, he just prefers them to look like they’ve been read.

thinking about how the ammunition that phoebe uses against mulder in fire is a childhood nightmare that he had shared with her, and how the world only has so much held over him because he shares so generously with it

A Kaihil story which was published in 2006 in ffn got updated and completed...

after 18 years.

Am I okay?

Yes and no 🥹

Y'all are sleeping on the fact that Beakley and Duckworth were forced to live under the same roof for several years (my guess is about seven) with each other as the main company.

Okay but consider this spin on the Lucina situation with M!Chrobin: Robin has shape shifting powers as a result of being a Fell Dragon, but because of his amnesia he thinks this is completely normal and that everyone is capable of doing it. Meanwhile Chrom is just ignorant enough of magic that he assumes it's a spell Robin developed specifically to help them clear the hurdle of getting an heir.

Like they where talking about having children and the need for an heir to the Halidom, when Chrom brought up surrogacy as an option (clearly not thrilled at the idea) and Robin just shrugged went 'well wouldn't it be easier if one of us just carried the child? I can do it if you're worried about it interfering with your royal duties.' And Chrom was floored assuming that Robin must be some brilliant master mage to already have thought this far ahead and come up with a spell to answer the issue, and he's all like 'don't feel pressurized at all I wouldn't mind!' and Robin who assumes that everyone can just alter their physical sex easier then getting a haircut, just shrugs and goes 'it's no trouble, and it makes more sense for it to be me- I can still advise you while pregnant, you might have a harder time leading armies if you are'.

Everyone else assumes along similar lines to Chrom, but no one is actually comfortable in broaching the subject directly, so this misunderstanding continues for years, until Morgan casually rolls up to the mess tent one morning as a different gender then they where the night before and EVERYONE freaks out about it except for Robin and Lucina who have no idea what everyone is making a fuss about.

(Lucina knows that she and Morgan's ability to shapeshift slightly is because of Robin but thought that everyone knew, Robin still just assumes everyone can do it. Chrom is having a meltdown).

Can I just say that I absolutely LOVE kids (not like that you weirdo).

Like, will I ever have kids of my own? Eh, maybe. But were my best summers spent as a volunteer camp Councilor at my church (they held a summer camp during the summer)? ABSOLUTELY.

Little humans are just so interesting. Sure, they can be annoying, but so can adults let's be fr here. Plus, they'll generally like you as long as you treat them as people and are kinda entertaining. Obviously some will just be the devil incarnate and nothing you do can change that, but the great part about them being kids is you can just text their parents like "Yo your kid is being a little shit to the other kids. If this continues, he may be suspended from the program 😌❤️" and it's no longer your problem.

One year, at the camp, I had a small (or not so small) cult following of 7-8 year olds. The kids were divided into age groups (5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12), and they visited different 'stations' during the day. One of the stations was Bible study (it's a church so obv), and I was one of the Councilors/teachers working that station. That year, during the morning assembly, I decided to sit with the 7-8 group, because there was one girl who looked miserable. Her name was Kate, and she was a daughter of another pastor in our area (I know the guy, he's amazing). She was clearly pissed at being forced to be there, so I vowed to make sure she had a good time. Well, apparently, it didn't take much for her to open up. A week or so of sitting with her later, she and a girl she had made friends with (i introduced the two) were now attached to me by the hip. Whenever they came to Bible Study, the ENTIRE 7-8 group would chant my name, their Councilors (my friends) included. This went on for the entire summer, and it was amazing. You have never had an ego boost until a ton of children chant your name loud enough for the entire building to hear. I left that summer with multiple loom friendship bracelets in purple (my fav color) and a few kidnapping threats from the kids.
