every1 that voted rinne as worst husband is so wrong... its literally canon that he cares SO much and fakes his insane persona hes just awkward and embarassed when he gets noticed

i have so many things i can say about this but im really bad at words but theyre stewing around in my brain explodes

what were your thoughts?

i do agree with the ones that mention niki haha those are true rinne is absolutely smitten but the ones that say its like. because hes rinne amagi. and others thay were probably filtered out by the OP... people that either didnt read the main story or just dont want to look further lmao

(cracking my fingers) okay. this may or may not be long. i fear you have struck a bit of a nerve with this (NOT YOU but just as like. a general statement. i feel like u dont know what ur asking. but that is ok)

this whole thing might seem really aggressive at times bc this situation did get me a little heated... plz keep that in mind going in! AGAIN IM NOT ANGRY AT YOU ANON ILY AND THANK YOU FOR ASKING you just happened to ask abt smth i feel very sourly about – not the poll itself but the answers to it – but i tried to be as. tactful as i possibly can while talking abt this

overall im very disappointed in a lot of the answers given for the voting so ive stayed off twitter almost all day today and yesterday. i fear like with stuff like this a very silent population of eng side shines through, the one that specifically Doesnt actually engage with the story and goes off fanon interpretation. look, im not saying its necessarily a bad thing. but when it comes to stuff like this, where people grossly mischaracterize a grand majority of charas or narrow them down to be the butt of a joke, or use it as an excuse to be plain racist/ableist, i feel like people really need to reassess where all of this is coming from. like. not rinne, but KANAME couldnt even be included because the answers used for his votes were, in their majority, apparently ableist, and op (definitely in the right, i think this was the right choice to make) chose not to post at all because they feared the qrts would be just as bad. because for some reason people seem to think that because they're fictional characters that being ableist is somehow ok, that saying they would "pull the plug" on charas like him and eichi is fine because theyre not real people – as if there werent disabled or chronically ill people in this fandom, in every fandom, or hell, around you?

and lets not mention tatsumi and people blatantly misinterpreting his christianity as something he would force upon others – first of all, western christianity does not apply to tatsumi. at all. i understand that people might find it easy to just associate him with that and make "haha, he would make me convert" or "haha he would be a homophobe" quips, and obviously its not necessary to have extensive knowledge on kirishitan history in japan and how they are, to this day, a minority that was persecuted for a lot of japan's modern history. LIKE, EVEN FROM HIS DIALOGUE IN ANY STORY.. when has he given off that impression? cite your sources, he's literally one of the most inclusive and accepting charas in the whole cast! not a prejudiced white christian middle aged mom...

i think that if you absolutely must reduce a character to tasteless jokes, stereotypes that arent even funny to begin with, and you refuse to even read the source content at all to correct yourself, you really need to think about how you engage with any media, not just enstars. if you want to look at the pretty characters just say that! but dont be like this, and don’t speak on things you don’t fully understand as if you did just to make a point or be funny!

OKAY RINNE SORRY LOL i hate it. i hated all of it and judging by the ratio many people seemed to dislike it as well (god bless!). if you havent seen it i wont link it bc tbf i dont feel like looking at it again (peace and love) but the answers summed up are like "oh he would steal my money" "hes selfish and would take stuff from me and not gaf about my wellbeing" "hes married to niki already" the last one being the only one i agree with. and it makes me think about a lot of issues with how a good portion of the fandom sees rinne. ive seen a lot of people read rinne in bad faith, regardless of whether theyve read main story, hot limit or any story rinne is in. and i dont get it, genuinely. YES he can be upsetting! he can be an asshole, he can be rude, he DOES steal money from niki! but these people neglect to see or mention that he gives it back and then some. they fail to talk about how he spends a lot of his time trying to make niki see his self worth!! since hiiro was BORN he's been trying to get him to understand that he's deserving of love!! that YES he can be a dick but ultimately treats crazy:b and his friends with love and wants what's best for them! these are the same ppl that think he's abusive or something idk i can only assume. like yeah rinne has a carefully crafted persona where hes a complete dickhead and ig some players cant really bother to see past that act

unfortunately rinne himself is built on a few harmful stereotypes of ainu culture irt the drinking, being portrayed or viewed as more 'uncouth' by other characters, etc which is why the initial more explicit ties to ainu culture were removed altogether from his and hiiros design and background. it is understandable, which is for example why it's not really my place to say whether he can be interpreted as ainu or not, and even so, i try not to rely on those aspects of him because it still veers into sensitive territory. and its an unfortunate part of his character, but undeniably, rinne amagi DOES drink, (he's one of the only characters in main cast of drinking age anyway) does partake in harmful behaviors, but fsr suddenly that means hes nothing but a drunkard, to a lot of people. when reading rinne you really have to take these things and ofc, consider that theyre relevant to his character, but it's not all there is...? in the slightest..? there used to be a tweet thread explaining this link further but it's either been taken down or the account has been locked. either way, just a bit of googling goes a long way. i'd rather not go into too much detail here because i don't feel informed enough beyond pointing these issues out, and i personally feel like it's not really my place. if anybody wants to add onto this post to cite more specific sources please feel free

he's such a fun loving, cunning, caring guy who helps people get jobs (dance of the white tiger), who volunteers to play with kids at a daycare (asobi), and wishes so badly to become an idol and grant everyone the same opportunities if theyd like to be, as well (main story, sudden death SUDDEN DEATH IS MY FAV STORY AFTER HL BUT THE TL IS DOWN....SORRY. but i really really think it's one of the most important ones when it comes to rinne's character and motivations. also if u can read it in app it's even better bc it's voiced and theres a line where he's like "oh this guy's [niki] is engaged to me" when talking to kohaku's sister AND HE SOUNDS FULLY SERIOUS TOO....)

don't get me started on people who dumb him down as if he wasn't one of the most clever characters in the game. and unknowingly, people that continue to make rinne's character out to simply be a gambling flirty drunkard who doesn't know how to control himself, as if there weren't other facets of him – they lean into stereotypes, bordering on racism, even if its not malicious or theyre not aware. and it makes me so sad. a lot of the time these interpretations are spread around and then liking characters like him becomes some sort of moral debate, esp in current fandom (which is one of the reasons i think this stereotyping? happens? b/c ive found that fandom sometimes has the tendency of grabbing characters and mischaracterizing them so BADLY that liking them makes you a bad person..? not necessarily villains either! i promise it's okay to just dislike characters without making stuff up!)

that aside also suggesting he'd be an awful, neglectful spouse is simply incorrect. i very firmly believe that if rinne is devoted, he will drop every vice, every pretense, to make the other person happy. he's Like That in the story and towards niki because they keep tiptoeing around the subject but the second he gets an inner monologue, or is truly being genuine, you can tell he would do anything for him, if niki would just let him. to say that rinne isn't capable of being a good partner because he'll treat you badly or not care about you just proves to me that you're not reading any scene he is actually in. if rinne loves you, romantic or not, he will go big or go home. read hot limit btw

im not about to pull the story caps out no wait yes i am lol rinniki4ever ✌️

these arent in order bc i had to scroll up like 2k pictures because i take caps of this game every time i blink. i was considering adding hiiro caps, to show his dedication to him as well, but given that this is for like a marriage poll id rather not. either way he cares about his family and loved ones a lot. read chapter 155 if you want to know the exact scene i was thinking about/referring to while typing this

um ok (breathes out) im fine now. theres things i didnt address because it's 1 am and i want to go to sleep. congrats kuro on getting #1 most marriageable tho u deserve it KURO NUMERO 1 CAMPEAO DO MUNDO 💯💯💯🔥

#im not tagging this with anything else #im sorry if i sound snobby or just. idk. mean at all. it isnt even a matter of media literacy anymore its more like #sometimes interpreting stuff on such a surface level and having to make jokes out of everything is not the best way to go #especially when the jokes are harmful/offensive. you dont really see this behavior outside of eng fandom #this isnt meant to be scolding i just wish people understood!!#but like if people say something is offensive rather than just doubling down...listen? please #im not an authority on enstars obviously i havent caught up on anything non alkakurei since like 2018. these are just my thoughts #if you read all of it i appreciate you :)#its not that serious. unless youre being purposely ableist and or racist which in that case it is that serious #mimthinks

Its always so heartbreaking and frustrating to me how easily adults will dismiss teenagers' complaints about school. How often theyll just shoot back "so what, high school sucks? It's supposed to"

Like. How can you look a suffering child in the eye and say "your experience doesnt matter to me because i think it's normal"? If so many teens and former teens agree that high school is a miserable experience, shouldnt we be working together to fix it? Shouldnt we listen to the complaints of the people currently experiencing the system, and do our best to constantly improve it moving forward? Cause the complaints are almost never "i just dont want to learn" - kids, in general, like to learn! Many of them have just been trained to believe they hate it by a school system that makes them constantly miserable!

And what about the kids who are uniquely suffering? Kids who are being abused at home or bullied in ways the teachers cant even identify because of how quickly communication technology has evolved? Kids with undiagnosed disabilities who are forced to bash their heads against material they cant focus on until they believe theyre just too stupid to get it? Kids with diagnosed disabilities who are forced to suppress their own self-regulatory behaviors to sit quietly in class? How can anyone say "it's normal to hate high school, get over it" with a clear conscience when you have no idea what could be going on in a kid's life or in their head?

Like. Im not saying it's easy. I remember being a teenager, and i barely understood what i was feeling most of the time, and communicating it to adults felt impossible. But thats because no one gave me the tools to do it - any time i tried to complain, i heard "high school sucks, everyone knows" and i shut up. I never bothered to analyze my feelings further because i thought it didnt matter.

And at a certain point, there are things adults cant fix; teenagers are mean and they have big feelings, they havent developed empathy or communication skills yet, theyre going to do things that hurt each other. Thats part of growing up. But if we make teenagers think that theres no point in ever going to adults for help, we rob them of the chance to learn how to understand and communicate whats actually going on in their lives.

Adults built this system. Adults forced their kids into it. And now adults have a responsibility to listen to the kids experiencing the system and not just dismiss them because "i hated high school too"

#.txt #idk i got doug walker's shitty 'parody' of The Wall stuck in my head #and ive been watching danny phantom with my gf #butch hartman also expresses a lot of 'lol high school is hell but it will never change' in. every show hes worked on.#both assume that their (shitty but uneventful) experience is the norm #neither questions whether it should be changed. it just is.

my parents aren't exactly fundamentalist people, but the day to day of living in a culture with a strong eschatological belief was enough to be traumatizing, no matter what religion it is. and im sure this is not just me, most people are just too afraid to even acknowledge how it fucks with them.

take a typical nature phenomenon, like eclipses, stars, black holes, sandstorms, weird animals, or rivers gone red from algae. this thing should have inspired curiosity right? well, in my country, all of the news articles and science videos regarding the subject is filled with people proselytizing, warning others its a sign of the apocalypse. worse when its a disaster like floods or tsunami or heatwaves or even extinction from poaching and environmental destruction. i've had people saying brazenly that climate change isn't man-made but god's punishment because the apocalypse / rapture is coming soon and we have too many LGBT people existing so of course trying to stop it would be a waste of effort, so just pray and prepare for akhirah and abuse others into falling in line.

the media does not help either. they made cheap infographic shows that are literally just about scaring people about the end of the world. a baby born with a life-threatening disability gets turn into shock fodder for tv because its born with one eye on its forehead. thats evil. do they even think of the effect it will cause for disabled people? of course they dont, in their mind theyre doing good because theyre reminding people that the apocalypse is coming soon and they should repent. i wonder, if someone from 2012 see a one-eyed child, would that kid be safe?

and in terms of personal experience, its horrifying to hear adults say, "yeah dajjal (the anti christ) will show up in your lifetime so you'll see the end of the world" and think that your parents didn't care enough to even think of the implication of bringing you to this world when its so corrupt and rotten. especially when you grow up knowing something is wrong and different with you.

and its not just that. its the end of the world, of course people would constantly talk about it in hushed tones. i've seen predictions shared in facebook or whatsapp groups, talked by kids and adults in sermons and hearsays. it turns people hostile to others with a different religion, or at best, they learn to be apathetic or detach their inherent empathy to other people because they have a different religion so theyre going to hell for eternity. so why fucking bother being tolerant or befriending them? you dont want to commit a grave sin since you wished a non-muslim to go to heaven for their good deeds right?

and when i was a kid, my friends would all have this strategy to prepare for judgement day. creating a culture where kids make up survival scenarios to prevent eternal, senseless torture is bad. and hypocritical when you keep saying god's love and care are boundless and unconditional.

my dad and every preacher i know always say to not be afraid of death, its something to look forward to, because you'll meet god, but you cant kill yourself and you must make sure even if its a natural death you live in the right way so you dont go to hell and be tortured for eternity. i agree death shouldnt be feared, but none of these people are truly unafraid of death. they shaped their entire life to make sure their death is the right one, and they force others to have belief out of a misguided sense of love.

i had an uncle who went far into this religious group, and even if the practices are completely identical to mainstream sunni islam, the man stopped providing for his wife and just pray and pray without doing anything else. believing god would simply take care of everything and even if he didn't, the apocalypse is coming soon! becoming too successful will just distract you from akhirah anyway.

its disgusting. i dont care what any religious/spiritual people on this site says. religion never gave people a sense of gratefulness or wonder or fulfillment. it turn them into incurious, selfish, frightened fucks that are too helpless to even fight for themselves and their home because the world is ending and its an inevitability so why bother? but thats the best case scenario. at worst, the eschatological sentiment turn people raging bigots abusing others so they'd convert or fall in line with cisheteropatriarchy and blame every tragedy to powerless minorities instead of the people in power.

i might have some faith left in me, but i would still advocate for state atheism. because its obvious every dominant religion will be used as a tool for terror and submission.

u don't have to asnwer this if u don't want cause i don't want to invite this discourse but u are the only one who will understand my pain. i really like a ship where half of the ship is commonly headcanoned as being aro/ace which is fine but then unforuntately so so so many people writing for the ship i like are being like yeah no he's still aro/ace but he's in a relationship and im like hows that work? theyre just friends? and theyre like no theyre dating and they fuck and im like ??????? u keep using words wrong and i'm yelling anyway youre great

As I've posted many times over the years and will not reiterate in full here, asexual and aromantic, two terms which I think DO have value and could be helpful to many, many people, mean nothing at this point.

Asexual can mean completely repulsed by sex, could mean just doesn't desire sex, can mean does desire sex but just... isn't attracted (even if they find said person physically, emotionally, and mentally stimulating, so fuck if I know what attraction means). Same thing for aromantic with romance.

So, technically anyone can be aromantic and/or asexual. Someone happily married who has sex they want on the reg with their partner is actually the best aroace representation in the world.

If we applied this to any other identity we'd all realize it sounds dumb as shit, like "this gay man wants to know his wife carnally and does so on the reg" sounds fucking ridiculous but who knows.

Not even getting into how 90% of characters ~regularly headcanoned but not explictily stated to be~ aro and/or ace are often just autistic, people of color, women people don't want to interfere with the gay ship, disabled, gay but not out about it yet (or hasnt come to terms with it yet), emotionally stunted/afraid of intimacy, sexual assault survivors, and/or some/all of hte above. Or children. I don't consume media centered on kids much these days but like... the number of literal children I have seen headcanoned as aro/ace because they went "Ewww kissing" or like... haven't dated someone yet at 14 is fucking WILD.

And wow I said I wasn't gonna get into it but look at what you made me type up.

No one else send me asks on this topic for 2-4 weeks. If you want ot talk me about this, even if it's just to agree with me, buy me something first. Or if youc an send me another good wishlist website that doesn't reveal my info but can add items from anywhere... that would also be nice. You could get an ire-free ask out of that

This is 100% some specific part, just dont know who I am right now. I am just... tired and pissed, and I have enough control to say things I'm not usually allowed to say.

First, and honestly the less severe of the two offenders: this fucking school. The only other school in the area with the same program is more than double the cost. So transfering isnt really an option. But i hate HATE having to keep an eye out for a short list of professors who want me kicked out of this program. I finished this semester and as i got ready to leave the final class, the teacher said goodbye with such vitriol. I pointed out that it sounded like get out. Her response was "well..." then she tipped her head like i had a point then walked away. I hate sitting here and praying her bias doesnt tank my grade in that class. I kind of like my 4.0. I hate that i will have to spend the next two years here watching my back. I've stopped keeping my diagnosis a secret. I will not sit back and let this school teach my fellow students that DID is a mythical creature when the 12 month prevalance rate is HIGHER than bipolar, OCD, and anorexia (at least according to the DSM-V. I dont own the TR yet). I wont hide when i have in ACTUAL EMAIL the CHAIR of the department saying I "am not allowed to continue in this program until such a time as I am cured of my disability." Sure its resolved for now, but I know I am holding a smoking gun.

And the fact that DID celebrities on tiktok and twitter are on a hate campaign against professionals? Yeah, triggering that anger more. Fuck them for roping me in with the entire profession. For making parts of us feel WRONG for wanting to enter the field cause theyre all getting painted as villains right now. They talk about professionals not listening to people with DID as if there are not professionals practicing RIGHT NOW who have DID. Talk about being stuck in the middle, when both your fellow professionals and your clients hate you.

And second, our husband: Who still refuses to use preferred pronouns. Who was OFFENDED when he found out we have male alters and accused us of being trans. Who still says it was okay to try and give us an exorcism when our DID first started showing (and the fact the first part claimed to be a demon is beginning to feel like a flimsy excuse). Who eats out meals without telling us then gets offended if we do the same. That I have to RATIONALIZE every single purchase with. Every single dollar spent has to be reported and labeled as to why we bought it so he can balance the budget. But like... we are paying out of our own bank account that is filled exclusively with our student loan money. So... why? Unleas he doesnt actually think we will get a job after this degree and is constantly preparing to take on our medical and grocery expenses. But we don't have the money to leave him and no support network in the area to help. Who still defends himself saying it was my BIBLICAL DUTY to give him sex. Who went a year without and growled out that he will NEVER go that long without sex again, and that sounded an awful lot like a threat at the time. The man that so many of us are still scared to talk to about anything remotely related to politics because its more important for him to stand up for his political beliefs than comfort our fears. Birth control, trans rights, riots, shuts all of those thoughts down with his anger. And yet, I'm in the minority on leaving this relationship. The others dont think its that bad. That he can get better. That he's TRYING to get better. As if him trying to get better absolves him of suffering any sort of punishment for his past actions. And the marriage counselor AGREES. Says things arent getting better in the relationship because we wont let go of the past. That its our TRAUMA and resulting trust issues ruining the relationship.

I'm tired of swallowing down acid when I feel like I have every right to be spitting it in other people's faces. But the others beg me to. And for the life of me, I cannot convince the others otherwise. They wont listen to me.

#this entire post is a trigger warning #cursing tw #tw sex mention #in particular #and abuse i guess

What does "feminism can and must be compatible with trans issues" mean to you? Ive been trying to be more inclusive, but trans issues often to seem to be incompatible with feminism.

hm well that was one line of the post that i did think 'i wouldnt phrase it quite that way'. i think besides the weird-ass conservative strains of feminism that dont reflect what i consider feminism at all, feminism IS compatible with trans issues. not that "it must be" like feminists have to change what they're doing to revolve more around trans issues or anything - feminism has no obligation to fight for trans issues just like the anti-racism movement has no obligation to fight sexism and the gay rights movement has no obligation to fight for disability rights - but that those causes simply ARE compatible. classic example: the public bathroom debate. right now that's often framed like feminism and trans activism are diametrically opposed and there can be no resolution for one that doesn't contradict the needs of the other. the trans activist movement wants all public toilets to be unisex and based on gender identity instead; the feminist movement wants sex-segregation regardless of gender identity. only, most feminists i know all agree by now that just. adding a unisex/gender-neutral option is literally the obvious and best way to keep people safe. and if there's no room for adding an extra, convert all the current spaces to single-stall unisex facilities. that way literally everyone is kept safe, no-one's rights are encroached on at all and anyone who takes issue is either a predator upset that they don't have the opportunities for abuse they wanted or a selfish weirdo who only cares about how they feel abt women or trans ppl or whatever ("but thats not good enough i want to use the WOMENS room!!"/"why should we have to give up OUR space just because of the transgenders!!") rather than about the actual safety & wellbeing of both of those groups. we're made to think feminism and trans rights activism are incompatible on this, its one of the biggest talking points in conservative media bc they KNOW it gets everyone at each others throats. but theyre literally compatible theyre literally so so compatible there is no reason on this earth anyone should still be having this stupid fucking debate its such a COLOSSAL waste of all our time.

there are certain things i think some feminists could do with not being so weird about. a lot of women are still super yucked out by male gender non-conformity and a lot of them for some reason still won't even admit it even though they bang on about it aallllll the time - but oh no, that's not bc they think it's creepy and fucked up for dudes to wear dresses and makeup, they're only saying these horrible things abt it because this one dude is transgender and that means they're evil and misogynistic by default so theyre fair game! (does anyone remember - haha kidding i know u remember i know i never shut up abt it - how many women on radblr were so so weirded out and for some reason ANGERED by gerard in his little dresses & skirts. he's not even trans. in fact suddenly everyone seemed to be saying "oh yeah he's definitely going to come out as trans sometime soon 🙄 he's obviously drunk all the gender kool-aid 🙄" like shut up you literally just made that up in your head to try and justify ur anger. shut upppp.) or sometimes it's like "men shouldnt wear makeup because its mocking our oppression it's wearing our chains for fun" - it really isnt and you need to get over yourself.

there are also certain things some trans activists could do with not being so weird about. if i see one more fucking transwoman act like its her god-given right to be included in lesbian dating pools, or transman that its his god-given right to be included in gay mens dating pools, i am going to start burning things i am going to start burning so many things and people too and i am going to squidge all the organs from inside these people until all the moisture is wrung out and i am going to set those on fire too. homosexuality is fucking natural innate sex-based and NORMAL and HEALTHY and GOOD. ive seen pro-trans lesbians turn into "terfs" based on this point alone btw - they were so fucking sick of all the homophobia they became vehemently opposed to the whole movement. they began to believe that feminism, gay rights activism, and trans rights activism AREN'T compatible. i still believe they are i just think some people need to throw out the bullshit that isnt actually relevant to either cause.

#my break is over so i am forced 2 shut up. its for the best this is long i talk so much sry #ask #anonymous

i dont care how the fuck traumatized you are. youre sitting there identifying in an ideology thats killed MILLIONS. as a "gender" i literally identify as many xenogenders but you cannot identify as that dude, i know me saying this wont stop you but if you went outside for 5 minutes and said youre a nazi youd get your fucking head kicked in RIGHTFULLY. you saying youre a nazi is meaning you support the murder of anybody who isnt white, especially jewish people, you want dictators who will enforce that, and you support at least most of hitlers actions. thats it. thats what a nazi is. if you say "well i dont actually" then thats like me identifying as pupgender and saying "oh no i dont like puppies and dont identify as one and i think theyre disgusting" doesnt make sense does it? and if you think it DOES then i genuinley think you need help really, you wouldnt go get a swastika tattoo because you know that theyre bad people and actual nazis would bash your face in and would enjoy everything you love, under nazi dictatorship youd be one of the first, i dont care if youre radqueer or whatever as long as you dont hurt anybody thats okay, its just not my thing, but this does, this genuinley does hurt people dude, it does no matter how much you deny it, it does hurt people. if youre a nazi sharpie a swastika on your forehead and shout 14/88 and see how that turns out, even if you dont align with the ideologies somehow(then its just pointless) its like skinheads, people think theyre nazis, theyre not, if you saw a skinhead in public knowing every skin youve seen is a white supremacist nazi, youd assume that they are too, unless they was wearing a SHARP badge, then youd know theyre not racist, and most likely not a nazi, but the difference is that theres actual skinheads that arent nazis, but every nazi is well, a nazi, a racist horrible person who supports murder of minorities, and youre preaching you are one. no matter what you think your identity is it means a horrible person, i cant change what you identify as but fuck it hurts people, but i doubt your brain has developed enough to know when youre hurting people and when youre not. since youve gotten this far.

Alright, back from taking a break from fronting, what did I miss? More hate asks? Great. I'm going to dissect each point, this will be a long post so I hope you're prepared.

"youre sitting there identifying in an ideology thats killed MILLIONS. as a 'gender' i literally identify as many xenogenders but you cannot identify as that dude" While my transnazi identity is connected to my gender, I assume you're referring to me being transnazi in general, in which case that isn't gender related. I'll explain this again. Due to me in source being/having similar ideologies, I identify as a transnazi, not because I approve of cisnazis. I do not agree with cisnazi ideology, that's the first thing you should learn before making these claims.

"i know me saying this wont stop you but if you went outside for 5 minutes and said youre a nazi youd get your fucking head kicked in RIGHTFULLY" I'm not even going to touch on this, depending on where you live, you could have the same reaction to saying you're queer or any other identity you think is valid, let's not base morality on what other people think, alright? You are also taking how I identify out of context to make it sound worse, but I'm loosing patience to try to explain this to you.

"you saying youre a nazi is meaning you support the murder of anybody who isnt white, especially jewish people, you want dictators who will enforce that, and you support at least most of hitlers actions. thats it. thats what a nazi is." First off, we as a system aren't white, so do with that what you want, it'd be pretty weird if we were a cisnazi considering we're non-white, queer and mentally disabled.

"if you say "well i dont actually" then thats like me identifying as pupgender and saying 'oh no i dont like puppies and dont identify as one and i think theyre disgusting' doesnt make sense does it?" Let's not go down that way of thinking, there are many ways to identify with xenogenders apart from "I like this thing". Maybe that is someones way of identifying with pupgender, that they don't like puppies or identify as one, you think people having more unique experiences with xenogenders makes them invalid or something?

"you wouldnt go get a swastika tattoo because you know that theyre bad people and actual nazis would bash your face in" Yes, cisnazis are bad people, good job! I also share a body with 400+ other people, I would never think of getting something like that because it frames us all as bad people, I'd rather be the only one you think is a bad person because I know I can defend myself, I don't know if they can.

"under nazi dictatorship youd be one of the first" Rude.

"i dont care if youre radqueer or whatever as long as you dont hurt anybody thats okay, its just not my thing, but this does, this genuinley does hurt people dude, it does no matter how much you deny it, it does hurt people." Identities themselves don't hurt people. My identity just makes you uncomfortable so you think it's hurtful. That's all this is.

"if youre a nazi sharpie a swastika on your forehead and shout 14/88 and see how that turns out, even if you dont align with the ideologies somehow(then its just pointless) its like skinheads, people think theyre nazis, theyre not, if you saw a skinhead in public knowing every skin youve seen is a white supremacist nazi, youd assume that they are too, unless they was wearing a SHARP badge, then youd know theyre not racist, and most likely not a nazi, but the difference is that theres actual skinheads that arent nazis, but every nazi is well, a nazi, a racist horrible person who supports murder of minorities, and youre preaching you are one." God it hurts to read this, I'm usually not going to care about grammar or spelling because everyone goes through their own struggles but holy fuck. This is one sentence. This could be like five.

"no matter what you think your identity is it means a horrible person, i cant change what you identify as but fuck it hurts people" Again, identities themselves don't hurt people, it's the actions attached to them. Yes, if I was spouting hate speech at people who didn't consent to it or if I was justifying cisnazi actions, then I would be a horrible person, but I'm not.

ya know what, i will make my own post. This is the last social media i have that isnt watched, so im going to use it as such, god damn it!

CW for abelism, abuse, and reactionary rhetoric.

Ive spent my whole life fighting with my disability, and once i finally stopped fighting it and working with it, i start feeling better. Normally, this would be great. Im finally over 100 lbs, im fitting into clothes that were got as a prank to “force me to get bigger” and i am in less pain. Im accepting using my mobility aids and have stopped having regular seizures unless accidentally induced.

im doing so much better than i ever thought i would and have genuinely never felt better than now.

this is where the problem lies, though. im not Enough for the people around me.

I had a coversation with my GF the other day, talking about how i dont feel like im valued in the household. I cant do the chores of 3 people, dont feel safe cooking on gas (ive asked many times to get a functioning induction cooktop so i can cook for the family), my disability prevents me from doing yard work, and if im cleaning, i need someone else around or else i think im being punished and have panic attacks.

So, for the longest time, i tried providing what im good at.

i made budgets, schedules, help with layouts and organising. I kept small areas neat while leaving the big things (such as vaccuming and laundry) to my gf and bf. it wasnt enough. I had to do the big things too. so, i asked if BF could help wit hthe workload. Take his dishes to the sink so i could spend less time walking to reduce joint pain, put my drawing tablet (my only method of getting income) away if i forget to, take out the trash so i dont dislocate my shoulders trying to, mantain my organisation so gf and i had to clean less frequently.

hes too tired too. Hes always too tired to help out unless its mowing the lawn, which he complains about because hes allergic to the grass.

im not allowed to get angry at them.

When i pointed out that almost all the family groceries were bought on my foodstamps card, and i dont make enough to get basic medical supplies for myself, and rightfully pointed out thats financial abuse, he repeatedly told me he wanted to get violent. It caused me to have a panic attack, so i took a nap between the inciting incident and the conversation. he kept telling me that he wanted to hurt me, and that if it werent for the voices in his head, he would have.

when i got angry that my drawing tablet, which ive had for 8 years without a single scratch, suddenly has 2 broken cords and a huge scratch, as well as clouding and warping due to food and drinks being placed on it, and drinks spilled on it regularly enough that the driver doesnt recognise it anymore, he shrugs it off, saying he will get it replaced after his vacation.

when i get angry that my budget, that they both asked me to make got thrown out because 2 numbers were off, and theyre taking my ideas to save money months later after indirectly threatening to starve me, i was shrugged off with a “yeah, kinda dumb, isnt it.”

so, i talk with my gf about how all the effort i put in to make the house better is wasted. how im not appreciated or valued and im treated like a child because im not getting what i need because they want before me. Not before my wants, before me.

She agreed with me.

She said i was right.

That i am not valued because “we dont need what youre good at. We need you to be able to do chores.”

and this has been a consistant all my life.

i sleep during the day instead of at night because sunlight exposure causes seizures? “but i need you to cook for the house”

I stim and listen to music because the sound of reality is too loud and it hurts? “we need you to act normal”

i talk about my DND sessions because theyre the only fucking friends i have? “we need you to have normal interests”

EVERY. FUCKING. THING. IVE. EVER. DONE. HASNT. BEEN. GOOD. ENOUGH.

so yea, from time to time, i dress in a way with the specific connotation of “Make conservatices mad” or to “make my abusers mad” because i cant fight the systems in place that cause me to be dismissed and devalued. the only form of fighting the oppression i experiance is to piss off the people that do it. Forgive me if thats a little “reactionary” but its the only way ive survived untill now.

#vent post #long post #ableism #reactionary rhetoric #neglect #omfg im so fucking tired of not being enough #they claim to love me but i dont fucking feel it #the only reason im not suicidal is because i feel so much visceral hate all the damn time

Omg I need a small vent too. Like they're pro life until the child is trans, gay, poc, disabled (mentally or physically) etc. If they're so fucking pro life then what's up with all those poor children in foster care? If they're so fucking pro life why don't they care about the lives of the pregnant people?! Taking away someone's right to have an abortion won't cause any good, but it will cause unsafe abortions, people fleeing the state, women and teens taking their own lives, future child neglect for parents who weren't ready, like WHAT THE FUCK?! God forbid the birth could kill the mother or worse, theyre a fuckign child?! (if you understand what I'm trying to say). Like the Supreme Court is literally wearing their fucking adult diapers shitting their pants at their prehistoric mesoziac age and we still let them m make choices?!!!God for-fucking-bid someone doesn't want to have a child. It's not your dusty fossilized ass' choice it's THEIRS. This country has gone to shit. Feel free not to post this I just need to get it off my chest 🐏

I'll post it because I 100% agree, and I know many other people also agree, with what you just said

We need to support and help eachother now more then ever, cause this is a real and serious thing happening

i agree with your points in general but you really lost me with the mra shit. you cant just say the same talking points as them, go “but theyre bad, though”, and give yourself a pass because youre trans or whatever. please at least spend like 1% of the energy adressing the very real misogyny non-cismen face. is “kill all men” bullshit kinda nasty? yes. but people venting about groups of people who are often gross and bigoted towards them is also an okay thing to do.

-yes, im transmasc as well

I think you have a pretty vital misunderstanding of what’s going on here.

This isn’t “the MRAs were bad, but I’m right cause trans”. I mentioned them as an acknowledgement of the complicated feelings people have about “not all men”-type statements, and the origin of this argument as a whole. I want to return to and revisit the conversation, because I think people took a very binarized approach to the “solution” that is still causing damage today.

It was acknowledged at the time that “not all men” wasn’t itself a problem; it was the way “not all men” was being used by MRAs. “Not all men” had validity in that it could address the complicated intersections of different kinds of oppression- @readytobebolder put it really well in this reblog. This was, to some extent, touched on at the time!

The way MRAs used it had nothing to do with those intersections, though. “Not all men” was used to personally exempt themselves from feminist critique of patriarchy; “men get privilege for being men” was not being met with “no, cis men get privilege for adhering to idealized white masculinity”. It was being met with “I, a cis white man, don’t get privilege because my life is hard sometimes. Checkmate, feminists!”

“Men are abusers and rapsist” was not being met with “bio-essentialism is transphobic, and black men in particular are stereotyped as dangerous and aggressive as a way of justifying systemic violence against them. This is dangerous.” It was being met with “well, I’M not an abuser or a rapist, so that’s not true!”

Less extreme MRA arguments were even validated. “Calling all men abusers and rapists is damaging to the men who are themselves abuse and rape victims” was (and is) a very real concern.

The “solution” to this problem- the “need” for reductive shorthand when venting as well as when crafting theory (largely driven by twitter character limits)- was that people should just carry on with the “kill all men” stuff, but men should understand, silently, internally, that it didn’t apply to them. It was “If #NotAllMen, then don’t be that man!” Which is fine for the worst of the MRA arguments, but doesn’t do anything to address the very real harm caused in other ways.

And make no mistake: MRAs fucking sucked. I know they did. I received plenty of harassment at their hands, and I saw plenty worse. They weren’t using these arguments in good faith; they were weaseling out of accountability.

But I knew, and so did the overwhelming majority of other feminists, that a lot of those arguments did have validity. We spent a lot of time acknowledging and addressing the validity of them, and talking about how so many of the problems they brought up were rooted in misogyny, in patriarchy, in other systems of oppression that needed to be discussed. Over time, people just realized that the arguments weren’t being made in good faith.

So I’m raising them in good faith. Trans men, men of color, disabled men, and so many others shouldn’t have to suffer silence and erasure and reductive gender-essentialism just because some cis white reddit bros made a mess of feminist rhetoric in 2013. We can do better than that.

I saw Onward last week with my friend who is an avid LARPer and fellow lover of all things fantasy, so it was a perfect movie for the two of us. in general I adored it! I’ll probably see it again if i have the time and of course, i’m getting it on BluRay. i would also LOVE to snag the art book since the character design for this film was probably my favorite part.

[some spoilers]

my biggest complaint (and its not a complaint, just a negative i guess) is that Onward didnt feel like a Pixar movie to me, both in the story and animation. the animation style wasnt as interesting as some of the Pixar movies in the past (though thats been kinda up or down for a while), and it didnt feel as fresh or mind-blowing. to me it fit in better with the regular Disney animated features, not Pixar. Especially in comparison to Toy Story 4, albeit theyre very different styles, something about it didn’t pop for me like most Pixar movies do. The story was a little bland with Pixar in mind, though i did love it! i just always think of Pixar as the studio that gives stories and feelings to things we usually don’t expect. And Onward i guess was so similar to real life that it didn’t feel that way. Maybe if they had pushed the fantasy-realism even more, or changed some modern things to fit with these creatures more (they did do this but i think they didn’t push it far enough), that would have sold me.

and i’m not gonna talk about it at length, but the whole “Disney making a big deal about their ‘first’ LGBT character and acting so high and mighty about it” did dull the magic for me. considering the police officer was in two scenes, plus she didn’t have ANY characterization beyond being a cop and having a gf with a kid, it really did not live up to Disney’s hype. i’m not saying she wasn’t “gay enough” or whatever, but had they not brought it up beforehand or made any “hype” about her, i would have liked her a lot more. To compare this to Paranorman (not everyone agrees its good rep) Mitch being gay wasn’t something for LAIKA to brag about. Had Disney followed suit, their “first” gay character wouldn’t have become a meme.

Okay, so for the good stuff, I am a huge sucker for sibling bonding and especially HEALING in fiction. it gets to me more between sisters, but still. Ian and Barley like each other and get along well, but they still have their problems and doubts. The fact that they grew into their own and with each other is beautiful, especially the fact that Ian now sees Barley as a father figure AND a brother. That is an element i haven’t seen before, let alone done this well. I also really appreciated the tension between them in that Ian thought Barley was a screw up, that he thought less than great about his actions and choices. This sort of thing isn’t explored in media enough, and I’d love to see more. I believe most people don’t consider that our siblings’ opinions do matter to us as much as our parents’.

Again, I LOVE the character designs in this film. Everyone looks unique and distinct while still having key traits for each species. I love these designs way more that those in Monsters U, which felt kinda cut-and-paste with the monsters. I loved how you could tell that even within the elves they were still different races (or at least coded) with hair, facial features, and skin tone, all the while still blue! They did this with other creatures too, like how Corey is black while also being a Manticore bcs of her hair texture (and of course the incredible voice of Octavia Spencer). And you know what diversity Disney added and made not a peep about? One of Ian’s school friends walks with crutches! I can’t say what his affliction is, but its wonderful to see some inclusion to disabled folks.

My favorite characters were Barley and Corey. Barley was just so incredibly well rounded, like he was perfectly imperfect. I could go on and on honestly. Corey on the other hand was just plain AWESOME! Her little personality crisis felt kind of rushed to me, but to me it fit as an allegory for the whole film; she is a magical and powerful creature who let herself become weighed down by modern society and lost her moxie. I also love that Corey and the boy’s mom, Laurel, became friends (but i wouldve died to see them as a couple). I really want to know more about Manticores in this universe, since she seemed like the only one, and also might be immortal?

What initially drew me to this movie was seeing a centaur character in the original trailer, as trivial as that sounds its true. I love centaurs so much, and they hold a special place in my life for many reasons. I was a bit dissapointed in that there was only two centaurs prominently shown in Onward; Colt and the gal playing DDR (which was adorable). In the trailer there was one more, but not in the film. I did really like Colt, and he’s growing on me more. But one thing that has not left my mind is why to the centaurs and satyrs not wear pants?! everyone else does!! its probably bcs Pixar wanted the audience to clearly read them as centaurs/satyrs so pants would cover their cool legs, but still.... Do they just have a different level of decency than others? I have to know. But I love that the centaurs have horse ears instead of human ones <3

Lastly, and this isn’t good or bad, but I just didn’t resonate with Ian and Barley bringing back their dad. I mean, it was very emotional and a great drive to the story, but since I still have my parents I guess I just couldn’t connect to it. I liked how they were able to characterize the boy’s dad with just legs, that was adorable and a huge feat for animation!

Some little things I want to mention: the final boss dragon was SO COOL, it reminded me of the giant Ralph at the end of Ralph Breaks the Internet how it was made out of pieces, Ian was accurately scared to drive for the first time and i FELT THAT, Barley went the entire movie with a broken arm/wrist and took every swing like a champ! that boy is so chaotic i love him. ALSO it was so cool how Ian and Barley had each bits and pieces of their parents looks! like Ian had his dad’s face and body but his mom’s eyes, etc. Love that choice family design

All in all, a dazzling and wonderful movie with great characters and a cool story/theme, just not what I would expect from Pixar.

s1ep12 The Gungan General (p2) . having been drugged despite, obiwan and anakin wake up together tied in a cell not only to each other but also Count Dooku. obiwan pushes anikin back from being annoyed at dooku “It’s bad enough we have to be in the same cell, but could you spare me the sound of your constant chatter” - “and while i hold my tongue, the two of you will devise a briliant strategy for getting off this godforsaken planet?” - “YES!” at the same time . bound odd trio try to escape with many many banter between the jedis that make dooku want to kill them all over again - “Do control your protege’s insolence so I can concentrate” d “Anakin.” “WHAT” “Control your innocence. The count is concentrating” the sarcasm. the smirk he gets in return. - -crawling thorugh the halls- “We... do... know where we’re going, don’t we?” a “Hush, Anakin.” -immediately, to dooku- “DO we know where we’re going?” . caught and back in the same cell, hondo talks to them exasperately abt breaking out. This time, obiwan mind tricks their guard and they leave again. more banter. - “You should be more patient, Master. After all, the Count is an elderly gentleman, and doesn’t move like he used to” the sarcasm is dripping “I suppose you’re right” padawan sets up the shots and master fucking dunks on the sith, as it’s said apparently dooku is not impressed. “I would kill you both right now if I did not have to drag your bodies.” and he gets a double jedi glare . escaping, anakin tries to pull them up the wall but with added weight and hondo apppearing, they are taken again. In the cell, anakin and obiwan are taken to be suspended in the pirate bar together. obiwan tries to get anakin to shut up as hondo electrocutes them. the power cuts off, they drop, anakin forces his lightsaber finally, immediately cuts obiwans and his cuffs, and holds hondo at saberpoint with obiwan and his weapon beside them.

They carry him on a stretcher to the village they found earlier, where the healer can help anikan.

s1ep14 Defenders of Peace (p2) . better but still badly hurt, anakin and team must leave secretly as a seperatist ship touches down. helped by the clones, anakin and team manage to get into tall grass and stop for him to rest before they go to stop a spying droid. Still hurting, Anakin catches up to them on a tree as they look at the ship they need to steal. “I hope you’re feeling better, Master, because look what we found.” “Heh, I’m getting stronger all the time, Snips. But I’m not sure I’m ready for that..” . Pulling the clones out of an explosion on the ground, the gang then leave their tree to stealthily attack and disable the ship base, ahsoka and aayla with anakin and clones as teams. taking the ship, they land back at the village to warn and help them fight. with shields protecting the village, jedi and clones advance with weapons. anakin goes to take out the cannon. village safe, the jedi and clones depart.

Ventress puts them a floor below then lures them outside where they fight on a huge unstable droid before jumping down and escaping on droid transport things and getting back to the ship to find their captains found the clone traitor and dela w him before advising there is an army coming “What’s the PLAN, Master?” said through gritted teeth impatiently but still waiting for ObiWan’s idea to get Ventress

s1ep17 Blue Shadow Virus . on Naboo Padme and others learn of a virus lab. she and jarjar head out to find it and are caught their by the mad dr who made the virus. On the ship, Anakin ObiWan and Ahsoka land to talk to BailOrgana(?), anakin sends Ahsoka off to find Padme while he and obiwan talk w bail and make a plan, then wait for Ahsoka to return. “You seem a bit on edge.” o “There’s a good chance we’re about to destroy all life on this planet including ours and the senators, so yes, I’m a bit on edge, why aren’t you?!” a “I’m better at hiding it.” no one is an adult here they’re all just pretending . Anakin with a word of warning from obiwan the two seperate and jump to the lab w clones after ahsoka, everyone engaging in fights. While Anakin finds padme held by the dr, Obiwan joins Ahsoka before splitting off to the bomb room and calling anakin to check in. Anakin runs into Ahsoka before they split again and calls obiwan for backup so they both face the dr as he tries to escape, stopping him from dropping vials. Anakin corners him, below the bombs are deactivated, and the top team contact the bottom team to confirm. “Anakin. I’m guessing you didn’t capture the doctor.” “I’m working on it! Do you have the bombs?” “I’M working on.” there’s literally so much to do and youre still bickering

s1ep18 Mystery of a Thousand Moons (p2) . While obiwan and Anakin above make to leave w the dr, below the virus is leaked. Anakin contacts Ahsoka and Padme who are seperated in the lab, the two and clones plan to stop the droids getting out. Anakin threatens the dr until Obiwan convinces him that they need to head back to find an antidote. They meet w Bail to talk abt a cure and though Obiwan tries to calm Anakin down ultimately he agrees and they go immediately to find the cure together. “Padme and Ahsoka will be fine.” reassurance from your master “They will be. If we succeed.” not giving up yet but.. . In the lab, Ahsoka’s team is infected but they join w Padme and jarjar to stop droids escaping with the virus. . Anakin and ObiWan head to find the cure on a planet, theyre greeted by droids that Anakin immediately attacks despite Obiwan’s ‘wait’ and they realise it’s friendly and they talk with the human who repurposed the droids abt the cure. “ Very impressive. You just destroyed seventeen defenseless battle droids without suffering a scratch.” the EYEROLL as obiwan comes up behind him -another droids falls- “..Eighteen, actually.” anakin pls Also,, it’s the tiny things. The tiny nudge that ObiWan gives Anakin when he’s a bit harsh towards the kid . ObiWan and Anakin climb down a cliff with the suprising aid of a flying creature to find the root at the bottom. Anakin digs up the root with ObiWan watching their new problem of a spiky angry plant, before they both climb back up and out. They are warned they can’t leave, on trying they trigger lasers and have to turn back. They get a call from sick Padme and Ahsoka, leaving Anakin angry to get out while ObiWan tries to calm him down and offer a plan “Slow down, Anakin.” “Slow down? Slow down?! You saw them, Master, they’re dying!” “A great leap forwrad often requires first taking two steps back.” “And sometimes all it requires in the will to jump.” “At least hear me out on this.” and he does, because obiwan asked. . a new plan with the kid’s help, they head out again and make it, immediately heading back to Naboo. Anakin checks on Padme and Ahsoka, praising his padawan before he and obiwan wave the medical ship off “You did a fantastic job today, Snips.” “All thanks to your training, Master.” “Yeah, you’re right. I probably do deserve most of the credit. But not all of it.” “Good thing... I know you don’t mean... everything you say.” bless them

s1ep19 Storm Over Ryloth . Ahsoka is given her first command to take clones on a starfight, with a prep talk from her master. Anakin watches over their attack from the ship, orders her retreat as their main ship is blasted. Having lost most of her ships, Ahsoka sits dejectedly and Anakin reprimands her but also reassures because he knows. “I know you meant well, Snips” [...] “All that means is that I understand what you’re going through.” “But I failed.” “It was a trap, Snips. It wasn’t your fault.” [...] “Take heart little one. That’s the reality of command.” . Anakin update calls Windu and ObiWan and has Rex find Ahsoka who is upset. She joins Anakin who is fixing (her?) fighter and they talk, ahsoka wound so anakin sends her away. After a moment, she rejoins Anakin in the hangar where he is commanding an evacation, having Rex take over he explains to Ahsoka the plan - he splits off alone to crash the ship into the enemy with ahsoka to defend him when he escapes it. Unsure,Ahsoka takes command and brief captains. Anakin sets his ship to crash and escapes in a pod waiting for team to pick him up. “Skyguy we’re approaching your position, stand by for retrieval.” . She commands another fleet out to attack and break the barrier, suceeding just as obiwan and windu’s ship appears reay to land as planned. “I won’t even ask where the rest of Anakin’s fleet is. Or why he’s in an escape pod.” he is so tired of these children but as long as theyre okay its fine “That’s... probably for the best.” like master like padawan, ahsoka

s1ep20 Innocents Of Ryloth . ObiWan and MaceWindu on planet, Obiwan with Cody and clones head to the surface to fight. They are attacked by creatures that Obiwan tames using force into a deadend and jumps out, Cody hands him his lightsaber. Finding a little girl, she helps direct them to fight the base where they free the prisoners and obiwan uses their own cannon again the enemies to defeat them

s1ep21 - ‘Anakin Sywalker battles the enemies in the skies while Obi-Wan kenobi frees villages’ working together even when apart, i love that intro. In this episode it’s Mace Windu’s adventure time w his clone gang to fight.

s1ep22 Hostage Crisis . Anakin, supposed to be a on a medatitive retreat, is hanging out at Padme’s. He gives her his lightsaber to prove a point and hides when they are interrupted and padme leaves. Meanwhile, CadBane and co are infiltrating and rounds the senators up in the main hall. Realising something is wrong, Anakin finds and spies on the hall before having to run and defend himself while sneaking around without his lightsaber. He manages to avoid them for a bit and gets through to Palpatine to report (ofc) before taking out one persuer then being cornered and electrocuted to unconsciousness. Dragged to the hall and thrown with the other captors, the enemies set lasers to keep them in and leave. Anakin wakes, Padme gives him back his lightsaber, and he goes through the floor to get them out. “When I finished constructing my lightsaber, ObiWan said to me, ‘Anakin, this weapon is your life.’ This weapon IS my life.” yes he has said thta several times bc you keep losing it, like NOW Also,, “Please, Ani. Wake up.” He does NOT get that gentleness on the battlefield heh

Favourite scene: robb getting crowded any scene where theon smiles theons monologue theon and sansa hug jon and sansa arya sansa hug jon and ygritte kissing on the wall jaime jumping to save brienne theons speeches both tyrions speeches both but the one in season one was really funny tyrion dragging the chair across the room when everyone is is science idk that cracked me up bronn duelling for tyrion the one where Catelyn announces to everyone that (she thinks) tyrion tried to kill bran cause that was the first ep id seen thats the bit that got me hooked theon getting back up and fighting that ironborn guy pdrick saving tyrion and i still maintain that viserys had the best death also not to be a basic bitch but that first time dany does her fire thing in season one i was #stunned

One character you wish got more appreciation: theon duh #nomoredickjokes2018 but also meera and jojen too i suppose and shireen and sansa and they could've (shouldve) done more with myrcella and tommen and brienne too was underused and gendry also idk if if i like the way the tried to iron the grey parts out of tyrion and jon and bran i wish they done brans story better and wed have got that tree scene with theon also as a disabled gal certain comments some people make about uselessness of bran sometimes make me uncomfy tbh

Fanfic or nah? i usually only read theon based ones and thats usually just theon robb theon sansa or sometimes theon jeyne p cause i cant do bolton heavy stuff im a whimp but i read the occasion jon / ygritte or jaime / brienne and once i tried theon jon but i wasnt sold soz :/ i read theon ygritte once as well that actualy worked surprising well and theon domeric .. aha thats mine and @blueagia s baby

but i guess id be open to others maybe

Favourite quote: from just the show ? meeras some people will always need help that doesnt mean theyre not worth helping also tyrions death is so final but life is full of possibilities and mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep its edge. That's why I read so much Jon Snow also sansas not a killer .. not yet anyway sansa - or maybe hell give me yours theons sy he is is theon greyjoy again also i like that quote about theons smile but obvi thats not in the show bronns this is bronn son of .. you wouldnt know him just because it was funny

Do you avoid spoilers? : i do because im a blabber if i know id tell everyone omg this happens and that - i dont do on purpose really not with the intention of spoiling it for people i just blurt it out like i ruined he Rains of Castamere for someone once by saying oh is this one where robb dies ? and i didnt realise she hadnt seen it yet and shes like robb dies :( :( and im like oh umm i meant ... rob - ert baratheon obviously ! haha whoops and i told someone else about jofferys death because shed said she seen it all but she said later i wish joffrey would die and i was lil tipsey then so im like .. but he does die ? youve seen it right? in season 4 ? hes poisoned ? at his wedding ? to Margaery?? and shes like ....thanks beth ..... turns outs shed only seen season 1-3 whoops again but hey i was drunk that time so i now avoid spoilers to avoid spoiling people and when i read the books my then housemates told me not to tell them what was different in case they wanted to read the books later on and didnt want me to spill and i did try to keep to it but i blabbed a few things tbh

Favourite house words: We do not sow greyjoys ftw

One character you’d bring back from the dead: ygritte shireen robb maybe catelyn and hoder !!

One character you’d kill, or kill sooner than they were killed balon greyjoy also ramsay but i wouldve done it differently and theon shouldve been there or at least known about it also randyll tarly like fuck that guy ive seen people defending him and im like no offense but you are serious me and a friend had a bet on the boltons i bet against roose dying and he bet against ramsay dying we both lost lmao

Direwolves or dragons? Dragons

Which was more satisfying: Ramsay dying or Joffrey dying? hmm i actually joffrey probably because it was more unexpected i didnt see it coming i didnt think hed die -i wanted ramsay to die and i wanted to like ramsay dying and wished i had liked it more but it wasnt done the way i wanted it and it seemed so obvious like it wasnt a shock like joffrey dying was i think in a way they over did ramster and just ran out f things fro him to do that he hadnt already like i was like hmm sewating nevously what can we do now ...err kill your dad! kill a baby! kill a stark kill .. jon snow ...?? aye fuck it get rid of guy ay

i liked season six better than season 7 or 5 but it made me lol in a way cause it seemed like they went ok ok you didnt like it last time when we killed all the women we heard you! we did ! weve changed things yes so how about this instead ... the woman kill everyone ! yea ? you like that ? we good now ? sweet as ! put more women killing eveyone into season 7 dave we on the money

Wildlings or the dothraki? Wildlings

Favourite lannister? Tyrion but jaimes growing on me

Favourite stark? i think sansa tbh

Would you rather be able to be resurrected anytime, but gain scars and all like Beric, or become a faceless man? Resurrect any time like Beric

Would you rather have the rebellion tv show or the conquest tv show? id pefer Rebellion but id watch a conquest show i think

tagging @saltwaterwoods @whiteladyofrohann @unamatta @wedonnotcare @faller1344 @starkrysis @iladylittlefinger if you want to :)

#bethans pals #personal stuff #long post #sorry i rambled on #you dont have to if youve already done this one

BREAKING News Out Of Kentucky, This Is BAD

It is time to fight back America! Chris “Badger” Thomas AMERICA’S FREEDOM FIGHTERS –

A vandalized billboard with the message “Kill the NRA” has popped up along a major highway in Kentucky following last week’s deadly Florida high school shooting, according to images circulated on social media, FOX NEWS reports.

Once again the “tolerant” left is showing by their actions, that they are anything but tolerant and are so mentally unstable that they break laws to endorse their hate.

take our poll - story continues below

Whom do you consider to be the most corrupt Democrat Politician?

Dianne Feinstein

Maxine Waters

Adam Schiff

Chuck Schumer

Kamala Harris

Kirsten Gillibrand

Keith Ellison

Cory Booker

Just outside of Louisville, Kentucky, on Interstate-65, a billboard has been vandalized with, ” KILL THE NRA” on it as well as “Resist 45”.

ADVERTISEMENT - STORY CONTINUES BELOW

Resist 45 is a small but growing movement against the 45th president of the United States Donald Trump.

The group had a Facebook page, but it seems to have been removed, though a quick search shows a few very small sub-groups.

The National Rifle Association has responded to the billboard:

ADVERTISEMENT - STORY CONTINUES BELOW

“Here’s an image from Kentucky, this morning, To all American gun owners, this is a wakeup call. They’re coming after us.”

“Resist 45” message also has been vandalized other billboards in the Louisville area over the last year, including ones near the Kentucky Exposition Center and University of Louisville campus.

Most Americans do not know much about the NRA and what they do, other than what mainstream media reports, which is usually very anti NRA.

NRA Website, some history about the NRA:

Dismayed by the lack of marksmanship shown by their troops, Union veterans Col. William C. Church and Gen. George Wingate formed the National Rifle Association in 1871. The primary goal of the association would be to “promote and encourage rifle shooting on a scientific basis,” according to a magazine editorial written by Church.

ADVERTISEMENT - STORY CONTINUES BELOW

In 1990, NRA made a dramatic move to ensure that the financial support for firearms-related activities would be available now and for future generations. Establishing the NRA Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt organization, provided a means to raise millions of dollars to fund gun safety and educational projects of benefit to the general public. Contributions to the Foundation are tax-deductible and benefit a variety of American constituencies including youth, women, hunters, competitive shooters, gun collectors, law enforcement agents and persons with physical disabilities.

While widely recognized today as a major political force and as America’s foremost defender of Second Amendment rights, the NRA has, since its inception, been the premier firearms education organization in the world. But our successes would not be possible without the tireless efforts and countless hours of service our nearly five million members have given to champion Second Amendment rights and support NRA programs. As former Clinton spokesman George Stephanopoulos said, “Let me make one small vote for the NRA. They’re good citizens. They call their congressmen. They write. They vote. They contribute. And they get what they want over time.”

As previously reported by AFF News, the shooting at the Florida High School has caused the anti-gun groups to lose their collective minds, to the point now they are manipulating and abusing the shooting victims for their agenda.

The website:

Women’s March Youth EMPOWER is calling for students, teachers, school administrators, parents and allies to take part in a #NationalSchoolWalkout for 17 minutes at 10am across every time zone on March 14, 2018 to protest Congress’ inaction to do more than tweet thoughts and prayers in response to the gun violence plaguing our schools and neighborhoods. We need action. Students and allies are organizing the national school walkout to demand Congress pass legislation to keep us safe from gun violence at our schools, on our streets and in our homes and places of worship.

Students and staff have the right to teach and learn in an environment free from the worry of being gunned down in their classrooms or on their way home from school.

Parents have the right to send their kids to school in the mornings and see them home alive at the end of the day.

We are not safe at school. We are not safe in our cities and towns. Congress must take meaningful action to keep us safe and pass federal gun reform legislation that address the public health crisis of gun violence. We want Congress to pay attention and take note: many of us will vote this November and many others will join in 2020.

Join us in saying #ENOUGH!

It is clear that these groups desire hate and violence and are not even above using and abusing the student victims for their own sick desires.

This has to stop, We the People need to unite and have a collective voice and send the message that we are done allowing these hate groups to use media propaganda and lies to push their hate onto civilians.

I truly hope that people will start uniting and organizing to shut this garbage down, I am sick and tired of the lefts agenda enforcing their new “rules” go against our freedoms and rights, down our throats.

Chris “Badger” Thomas is a Veteran who served our country as an Army Combat Medic.

TOGETHER WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Here's some "open dialogue"

Ok ok ok I’m understanding a lot more about the YouTube debacle recently with Pewdiepie and Co. and this is more towards @markiplier and his dialogue over respect.

I understand what you mean. I can get your mindset and your words but you have to understand that we can’t simply calmly speak to someone who wants us dead (a general statement, I am not Jewish but this applies to any oppressed interacting with oppressor).

Take for lack of a better example, Donald Trump. He is our president. He hates Hispanics/Latinxs. I am Latina. He has disrespected me and my heritage and my people, and wants to strip me of my rights and send my brothers and sisters out of the country. He could have detained my father had he traveled. I can look at him and analyze him and see further into him all I want. What I see?

A rapist who jokes about raping and violating women. A hypocrite who talks about getting immigrants out of here when his wife and family were immigrants. An uneducated individual who doesn’t understand uranium or how Betsy DeVos is a horrible person to be Secretary of Education. His VP (if I remember correctly) believes in conversion therapy, which is used against my fellow LGBT brethren to try and “fix” them. And have I heard any of them speak of helping the disabled? No. Because they want(ed) to dismantle social security, disabled individuals could lose their benefits and savings (they’re not allowed more than $2,000 in personal savings or their benefits are cut off). He wants the Keystone Pipeline to be completed, destroying what little land Native Americans have left.

This is a man who to his core doesn’t care about anyone other than his white male comrades. I can look at how he enjoys sports or Miss Universe or maybe he likes pop music but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s terror on two feet. Wanting to expand military and bomb countries even more, costing innocent lives.

I will not respect him. I will not educate him. People have tried time and time again to educate and look. He was still elected and he’s still in office, and a grand majority of his supporters have come out of the woodworks thanks to this election. Our education isn’t doing anything because these people have their ideas set in stone. Sure they’re passionate over what they believe in. They believe in having white male people become the majority again, when latinxs are quickly outnumbering them, we’re very close to becoming the largest demographic.

I will defend the rights of the individuals who are being affected by this, myself included. I will not give this man the respect he wants just because he is our president. He refuses to listen to us, the ones that pick his food, clean his home, build his campaign, design his images, handle his money, and so forth. I PERSONALLY won’t be violent but I can understand why people are fed up. To think that a man of COLOR (although you’re white passing, and, a man) such as yourself can’t understand this is beyond me. You’re doing the exact same thing to people here on tumblr. They’re telling you their feelings trying to educate you (in some ways Frank, in others, not so much), and you still hold to what you believe should be done and what you believe we should do and how you believe we should treat people.

YES nazis are people. But let this sink in. THEYRE NAZIS. They believe in GENOCIDE. I’m not sure why that demands respect when that demands DEFIANCE because of Jewish LIVES.

I PERSONALLY understand Pewdiepie’s POV. From what I can garner of the videos he made, I PERSONALLY believe he was sorry and felt bad and horrible. Do I believe he should be outright forgiven? No. I believe he needs to face what he did and take the consequences and learn to not do it again.

However I can also understand why some if not most if not all of the Jewish community is upset by this. It’s like rape jokes. You don’t make rape jokes. They’re not funny, and they piggyback on the suffering of many people. Many many people. Would you have the same respect for someone who made a rape joke? I find it hard to believe so. And if you do, i believe you are purposefully ignorant to satisfy your need to be as good as possible.

But being as good as possible means: -holding your friends accountable for their actions -holding YOURSELF accountable for your actions -understanding the others’ POV.

I don’t believe you’re understanding what the Jewish community is telling you.

I will give you my iteration of respect.

Respect is given when you first meet someone. It is a PRIVILEGE. But they can lose that respect. People do not deserve my respect if they don’t give me theirs. I will put my foot down and bark all I have to to get them to understand they can’t go around believing anyone isn’t deserving of basic human rights.

I’m sorry if this went off on a tangent and I do understand that I put my views into this but understand these are MY views, YES people have different views but I do believe that a lot of us can agree that we believe you’re incorrect about the execution of your own views, as it affects a sense of normalcy and obedience to oppressive actions when we’re faced with them.

Basically I can get to know a nazi very well. They might like soccer, ice cream, baseball, movies, video games, rock, etc. but they still believe Jewish people should die. And I will not respect them for wanting DEATH on another person.

That does not DESERVE respect.

Edit 1: I invite anyone to come and correct me if I have misrepresented, mistaken, or misunderstood your community or any laws or conditions in place. I’m sorry in advance for anything I have worded wrong, if I am made aware I will fix it tout suite.
