As if my day couldn’t get better, besides the cursed fanfiction and people drinking in the Kool Aid, having a big argument in my comment section that escalated to unbelievable proportions, this freaking person is at it again with copying my story! 

DUDE! Changing the names and pronouns of two characters does NOT constitute not copying another person! Gain some shame! Like how dare you?! This is so disrespectful!

Because this is strike two I am sharing the link! And they do NOT have permission to f_cking repost my story with a couple of name changes and a few word changes here and there! 

They go as far as copying THIS!!!

The Blacks & the Greens: 

-Mushroom! – she screamed angrily, shaking her feet to attempt to rid herself of the dwarf.

The little man started sniggering and let go of her at once, clapping his hands happily.

-If I ever catch you spying on me again and looking up my skirts, you will be Syrax’s next meal! Got it?! - she threatened. - And father will hear about it as well!

-Apologies princess, apologies. But I am drawn to you as a bee to a flower! AS A BEE TO A FLOWER! – he yelled happily, shaking his hat. - Oh… the princess is not alone I see.

Mushroom’s deformed face studied Prince Daemon looking up and down. His smile was malicious.

-Welcome back to the capital, my prince. - he said, giving her uncle a clumsy bow.

A ball fell from his hat as he took it off.

Prince Daemon smiled at the fool, but the smile did not reach his face.

-Should I find you spying on us again, dwarf, and you won’t have many reasons to smile about. And go before I throw you from our side.

Rhaenyra looked from the fool to the prince. A small part of her almost felt bad for Mushroom… that was until she remembered how he had once stolen her smallclothes.

-I hate that little creature! - she told her uncle. - He is always snooping and spying on me. I turn around and he’s there!

The copycat:

“Mushroom!” Daemon screamed angrily, as pushed the dwarf away from them.

The little man simply laughed as he let go of his aunt’s leg at once and and clapped his hands happily. But Dameon was not amused.

“If I ever catch you spying on us again, you will become Caraxes’ next meal! Got that?” He threatened. “And my father will hear about this as well.”

“My apologies, prince. But I am drawn to your aunt as a bee to a flower!” He yelled happily as he shook his hat. “Now let me say hello to the beautiful princess.”

Mushroom’s deformed face looked intently at Rhaenyra’s as he studied her up and down. He had a malicious smile on his face.

“I welcome you back to King’s Landing, my princess.” Mushroom said.

Rhaenyra smiled at the dwarf, but her smile did not reach her eyes.

“Should I see you spying on my nephew and I again, Mushroom, and you will no longer have any reason to smile about. Now go before I throw you out the window.” Rhaenyra said.

Daemon looked at both his aunt and the fool. A small part of him felt almost bad for the dwarf. That was until he remembered that he had once stolen his small clothes.

The US soldier who set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in protest of the genocide in Palestine is Aaron Bushnell.

This tweet will take you to his video where he discusses why he's doing this, and then the immolation itself, which the uploader has blurred. It also quote tweets the earlier initial frame where he's on fire.

Unfortunately, he has passed.

Do you get the impression the live action is treating us like utter morons?? Like I thought that making it aimed at an older audience would open the doors for more subtle story telling, but no, they're just using monologues to tell us eveything! Like in the second episode Katara's like 'oh his power isn't that he's the avatar, it's that he ~connects~ to people'. Girl we're not idiots we can see that!! And the first episode with Aang's goddawful 'I don't want this responsibility' monologue

THIS, YES. The word that keeps coming to mind is definitely "subtlety". The show for literal children? Had it. The remake for adults? Not so much.

Prompt 168

So. Apparently halfas are like phoenixes or something, which Danny would’ve really liked to know. 

See, usually with ghosts if they’re forced to retreat to their cores they reform as was, but apparently, since they’re still partially living, schrodinger's people and all that, halfas have to regrow their body from scratch. At least that’s what he’s understanding from Frostbite. 

But how come he has to deal with it? It’s Dan’s fault for trying to pull such a stunt! Oh, it’s either him or Vlad? Well fuck, he might have calmed down and is going to therapy in both the living realm and the Zone, but he’s waaay not equipped to raise a child except for like, monetarily wise. 

Well dammit, how long will this core incubation thing last, he has his new job in… let him check which offer he accepted again… He has his new job in Coast City that he needs to finish packing for and then all the rest of the stuff to do. 

What do you mean it’ll take months?! He doesn’t have months?! Urgh, fine. At least being a mortician isn’t that exciting, nor dangerous. Just hand him Dan’s core and he’ll figure things out for the living side of things. He’s sure Tucker and Sam wouldn’t be against helping, if only to try and claim favorite aunt or uncle spots. 

Running a little cross platform test on reach vs platform with some WIP art from a little #TearsOfTheKingdom something that I'm working on for an eye-catch ^_-

australia just confirmed that anything indeed can happen. i thought lewis moved to ferrari was the maximum of it but apparently not.

today we started with 19 cars (bc williams withdrew logan's to give his car to alex) and finished with 16 cars across the line. ferrari finished 1-2, max dnf, mclaren in top 5, checo only finished p5, britcedes dnf, haas double points, and yuki & lance got points. ferrari have a better car than last year, you can clearly see it from carlos' & charles' smiles, they seem confident that they can close the gap with rbr and it's showing this early in the season (hopefully they can only get closer). same thing with mclaren, they definitely have a much better car than last year, lando and oscar deserve that.

but rest assured that silly season will only get sillier!!! 21 more races plus 6 sprint races (which im not so excited about), 13 unclaimed seats, moving rumors left & right (be it drivers or staff), and other drama. drivers market is going to be chaotic interesting. this is f1 ig.

the fact that they made it illegal to make ads louder than programs on tv in 2010 but haven't updated it to apply the same regulation to streaming. who do i have to call.

I am really tired of a situation rn.

“white mourning.”

"a dude in Texas legally changed his name to "Literally Anyone Else" and he's attempting to run for President against Biden & Trump" [source]

okay, but putting aside the comedic aspect of this, it is concerning the amount of people who are prompted to vote for candidates just because it's funny. I'm not the biggest fan of how his policy about the boarder sounds [Site], but I do implore anyone who is able to vote in the 2024 US election to please research other candidates.

The media is only going to continue pushing the idea it's inevitably going to be Trump vs Biden 2.0 and we have no other options, that we have to vote for Biden again because of Project 2025. Is that whole thing terrifying?

Yeah, fucking absolutely.

But voting for Biden will not solidify our safety from that. Biden is exactly like the rest of them. He always has been. You can't make the lesser of two evils argument when they're both just plain evil.

You cannot say that Biden is even mildly a better choice than Trump when he is currently directly involved in a genocide. That is not some little fucking thing. That in and of itself disqualifies him as a lesser evil. Biden is just as bad as him and he will not save us because he doesn't fucking care.

Cornel West [Site] is an Independent candidate running for President in the 2024 Election. [Policies]

Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia [Site] are running for President and Vice-President as the candidates of the Party for Socialism and Liberation in the 2024 Election. [Policies]

There are options.

There are people trying to change the corrupt foundation our system is built on, but we have to help amplify them because the mainstream media will not.

haven't okamiposted in a while. everyone should go play okami (2006) it's a great game very beautiful and with great music and SO much fun and it's very cheap on like every system ever

Okay, I was just thinking about a legal justice plotline in S3(meaning Wilhelm and Simon essentially having legal proceedings against August) and I don't think that we will get this in S3 at all but it's really really interesting to think about nevertheless.

Because usually in queer stories, coming out solves all the problems like a magical, fix-it-all solution and the mains live happily ever after. But YR heavily leans on realism and even if the S2 ending is an ambiguous but fitting ending for a queer show (sort of a coming out montage), it does not work for this show.

It has been repeatedly said by the cast and crew that Wilhelm's problem is not being queer, it's being a prince. The systemic traditions weighing on a person who can't even grieve his own brother without being shoved into empty traditions and a PR machiavelli. A person who cannot even fall in love with another person without a thousand worries crossing his mind in every move. A person who tried to confide in his own cousin but his privacy got shattered in front of the whole world instead. It's not that Wilhelm being queer itself is a problem. Instead the domino effect it would bring to people around him is the problem. And that's why it was such a task for Wilhelm to get his mother on board for the idea of a relationship with Simon- because everyone (and it includes Kristina) will try to enforce the heteronormative narrative again and again on him, pretending like his feelings don't matter because in the end, it's easier for them. It's easier for them to live in their centuries-old metaphorical gilded cages and try to enforce the traditions on the royal family itself because the monarchists and the rich (old AND new) thrive under the "stability" the monarchy provides to their social stature and their bulging pockets. Even August's motivations towards the crown are two-fold: he's not only in a constant want of power, but he is also a firm believer in continuing traditions and he directly benefits from the monarchy running as it is. And having the power in his hands will let him ensure that his own estates and rich-people solidarity is never threatened again.

But Wilhelm emerges as an anomaly in the system- he will not tie himself down to hollow traditions. And it threatens everyone's stability, which leads to the denial- and the swirling wave of change calms down. But then Wilhelm starts refusing all the traditions and eventually retracts the denial- and the wave hits all of them like a storm.

And Wilhelm trying to seek justice through the legal machinery is not only very poetic (a prince trying to seek fairness in a democratic system because the monarchy inevitably fails him), but it will also rock the boats of so many people. They will finally get to understand that rich and powerful people also have consequences for their actions and their safety nets can blow away no matter how much money they throw away to keep themselves afloat.

I can understand one argument that August is also young and maybe legal consequences will be a bit extreme for him. But, like, any other common person will be blown apart by the system despite being innocent, why is he any exception? If human lives have equal value, why their actions should be treated differently? I would still like August to have a chance at a realization of the severity of his actions rather than facing legal consequences, but I also do want him to face the legal mechanism or atleast face the fear of having legal consequences for his actions. These two things can co-exist. Simon can easily be torn apart because of the whole dealing thing, and no one would come and save his ass for it. It's the biasness for me.

Overthrowing the monarchy or letting August have a redemption arc is just not possible in a single 6-episode season. It will simply be unnatural to the progression of the story. However, atleast in my head, Wilhelm and Simon seeking justice through a legal system can bring the consequences into action without the added labour of scrapping away a deeply rooted institution or changing the way a person's psyche works.

wouldn’t you think with all the visual impairment this is causing it’d be considered a workplace hazard or is it already in the contract

There's a rage inside of me that I didn't know was humanly possible

is now a good time to state my headcanon that essek's theft of the beacons was a minimal contribution to ludinus's overall plans (in that, aside from the distraction of the war, he only gave lewds like a few months head start and maybe some dunamantic basics, since the assembly would get ahold of the pride's call beacon anyway) and that the part essek actually heavily affected was analysis of exandria's ley lines with that geometer on the top of his towers
