SHTF: Beware of the Trojan Horse
This post came to mind when I started re-watching "The Last Ship" television series. "The Last Ship is an American action-drama television series, loosely based on the 1988 novel of the same name by William Brinkley. The series premiered on TNT on June 22, 2014, and concluded after five seasons on November 11, 2018.
After a global viral pandemic wipes out over 80% of the world's population, the 218-person crew of an unaffected U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, the fictional USS Nathan James (DDG-151), must try to find a cure and save humanity." [WikiPedia]
In the last Episode [10] of Season 1, the ship and millions of displaced and ravaged people flock to "Olympia" (Baltimore, MD), lured by the promises of a vaccine and sanctuary. Little do they initially know is that the "vaccine" kills and the dead bodies are used to fuel Baltimore's power requirements. Sound a little familiar?
This is an example of why it is so important to be prepare and self-sufficient. Those who are not prepared or those who will take advantage of the unprepared (unarmed and helpless) will use any means necessary to get what they need by coercion or force.
When the SHTF, not all will be benevolent. Government may be the worst of all but many will take advantage of the situation to get what they want. Beware of those who promise the world but want MUCH more in return; the wolves in sheep clothing. Their inviting, and kind, actions may not be so beneficial to you.
Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. Don't be one of the unarmed and helpless.

bug trolls… i am interested in kankri vantas. if that isn’t too much trouble. your buggy guys are so silly and interesting and i am a fan
here is kankri and his baby brother…. they don’t get along!! i wish they did though id love to see these two go on an adventure together where they look out each other. since kankri is a beforus troll and a vegan, his shell is pretty thin because he’s not getting enough iron. on the other hand, karkat’s shell is heavier then it should be due to stress.
thanks for the RQ!! im soooo glad ppl like my sillies :D
#kankris picking up karkat because karkat said fuck you im going to come over there and cram my scythe down your ignorance shaft#kankri said no you arnt. you’re not going to do that. im not letting you do that.#karkat vantas#kankri vantas#homestuck#trolls#buggy trolls#want to see these 2 depending on each other to survive in alternia. i think it would be very hard for them to do#but i think they could grow and develop in interesting ways if they got to be brothers who fight#enrichment in the isopod tank#redbloods#these two are natural drama that’s engaging story!! ive never really read a fic i liked that rlly got into their companionship as brothers#like there’s quite a few abt dirk and dave as brothers#most fics that have both of them focus more on their bonds with the sufferer#if anyone has a recommendation I’d love to hear it#give them crabdad no sufferer make them struggle in this cruel world. highly protective kankri grumpy wrathful karkat#they can’t stand each other but also rely on each other. redblood moment#given that isopods are comparatively social and good natured to many of the other troll buggy species I’ve picked out#that’s what I’m SAYIN#^silly#ok bye

mctna soundtrack team putting this part of wild road over this moment specifically -- i just wanna talk
#kim jae hee like here's this mournful ballad about how the world is painful and dark and yet to survive you must learn to walk through it#and smack in the middle the second verse starts with a wistful recognition that companionship was a possibility; once#if only a difference choice could have been made; if only the world had room for patience#but the circumstances have pushed you past that point. there aren't second chances for you#so you walk on-- because you have to#who HURT this production team. why are they now taking it out on ME.#love like a knife

i just remembered the way ellie and dina talk about bill in tlou2 and now i’m even more endlessly thankful for the way the show changed bill’s story.
“it’s not like you have to choose between being alive and being close to people.”
#the last of us#it all boils down to: i was never scared until you showed up#bill lived alone for years just surviving the days until frank showed up and taught him how to value companionship and love#joel lived for years ignoring his grief and surviving the days until ellie showed up and brought childlike wonder back into his life#ellie could only survive the days until the memory of joel allowed her to move on and find peace in her life again#as soon as you let someone into your heart you open yourself up to incredible beauty and incredible pain as well#but all the pain in the world will be worth it for the time you spent together#i will never get over this oh my god

Had two dreams in a row tonight
One of me waking up in an Uzumaki universe and surviving the horrors beyond my comprehension (yes it was THAT Uzumaki)
And the other one of me being forced to go to a party at the club
I woke up covered in cold sweat and racing heart on the second one
Now I wonder what that says about me 💀
#mia babbles#TO BE FAIR THE FIRST ONE WAS FUN#SCARY BUT FUN#i formed meaningful connections and worked with people to survive and find comfort of companionship in our situation#and the second one was full of loud party people and sleazy guys#and lots of 'wow you're so quiet haha don't get out much?'#at least the girls were nice

it might be my teenhood nostalgia talking but i think that a modernverse bj would really like avril lavigne.
"i'm with you" got me wanting messy but sweet runaway threads.
#teen or early 20s bj running away with your muse; surviving together and taking care of each other#wouldn't have to be romantic at all. i'm just soft about 2 people at th eir lowest finding each other.#and maybe they don't necessarily make each other better but they are *good* for each other regardless.#2 people who are used to being alone suddenly having companionship and someone to help keep them safe. helppp ;n;#out of fairy tales [ooc];

feeling nauseous and cant get on my puter to make a fully fleshed out post just yet but there's something to be said abt my bg3 characters and their relationship to home as a concept (Feeling loved, safe and secure) vs home as a place
#like idk i think its so prominent throughout the three of them its inch resting#they all have different views and such on this and it impacts ultimately how they all navigate the world#and their willingness to play along with the grander schemes at play#daeris blindly following with no concept of a home to own... his oath being his only security + that's already wavering (more on this later#Cress who is homesick so so bad they'll follow reckless choices to get a semblance of approval outside of their home.#They're learning that they can have multiple homes (one that travels with them in their friends they're having so much fun btw)#And Farryn who was driven out of his home. has nothing to return to after the game and spends the whole game lost.#even as far into act 3 as i am he's still uncertain as to what's to happen should they survive.#they dont really want this to end. what will happen to their home theyve found in companionship?? farryn doesnt want to be a hero anymore :#there's more to it than even these tags but yeah#and i'll make a post after ive finally made an introductory post to my guys <3#Daeris (durge)#Cress (Tav)#Farryn (Tav)#my ocs make me so unwell

Underneath that heart of gold, that helping hand that jumps at the opportunity to help someone in need without a second thought, is a broken, grieving soul. One that has not shown herself that same kindness in longer than she can remember.
When was the last time she let herself breathe. When was the last time she allowed herself to be the vulnerable one.
She doesn't want to worry the people she cares deeply about. She wants to be strong, she wants to love with all her heart, to hold on tight and never let go.
She's so terrified. Everything has been ripped from her once before. What if it happens again? Her life. Her home. Her family. Is it going to happen again?

#little doodle of miss iris hiding away#always smiling and putting on a brave face for everyone else#she has a lot of pent up pain she isn't letting out#at first she was too distracted with having to survive and starts bottling everything up#then when she finally has a new home and her lads she's just so overwhelmed with conflicting emotions#but she's mostly terrified out of her mind she let herself love again let herself find comfort and companionship again built a new life#and the thought of all of that being ripped from her all over again is suffocating#and it takes her quite a long while and some very worried out their skulls companions to have a serious talk with her#to finally let it out and grieve and be vulnerable and actually talk about everything that's happened#sole survivor#fallout#my art

Magni/Anora has been making me go lowkey insane for the past 24hrs ngl lads.
#harper.txt#i imagine first and foremost it is a political match and both are aware of it.#yet in the 6 months between the dao epilogue and awakening they start caring for each other#and regularly write letters to one another. not just to keep one another updated but for companionship too#erlina being sent away some mornings because anora is letting her husband braid her hair in the dwarva style#magni dedicating a proving victory to his new queen when one is held after he is declared a paragon#anora adjusting to the fact she is a stepmother to two dwarven children and even arranging visits to orzammar so#they can see their papa on their birthdays and accompanying him#even witch hunt - magni goes through the mirror to meet kieran but...#he's moved on from morrigan. and she accepts that#and after a short time with kieran and morrigan he makes the decision to return to anora.#tells her the truth about how they and loghain both survived the blight and anora#in all her practicality and sensibility#smiles slightly and tells him. i am glad you did. you spared me the grief of losing my father#and i have become quite fond of you too#sorry this is an essay in the tags but know i'm going deranged tonight#pair: magni x anora

Will Fair, Legal and Legitimate Elections Ever Happen Again?
What Will it Take to Get Back There?
CL - Do you believe that Trump could pull 25+% of Black American votes?
SL - I don’t think it matters what Trump pulls, because, first of all, you guys are still believing there will be an election. Okay, that’s a possibility. You believe the [2024] election is not going to be rigged. The elections have been rigged since . . . you and I were together on election night 2012 and you and I know good and well that he did not win Florida; you know good and well Obama did not win Florida. But guess what got reported?
SL – These things have been rigged; if you want to do the history, go back to 1960. John Kennedy did not win that election. So, what makes you think, 60 years later, with all the practice they’ve had, and they’ve ramped it up since 2012, that any election result you get is actually going to be legitimate? And the thing is that you’re at the point where the Republic that you know is being actively erased.
SL - You did not start the Republic that you are trying to keep by voting. Nobody voted George the 3rd out. Nobody voted chattel slavery away. Nobody voted Jim Crow out; although there was more legislation going on with that than the others. At every point in time, you had to make your choice between a peaceful life and a violent freedom. And if you’re not willing to make that choice . . .

wondering if like. mimuro always had a thing for nisei or if he started having a thing for him after nisei started being IN HIS WORDS NOT MINE "seductive" and if so was nisei just being himself and mimuro was like wuoagh or was nisei intentionally manipulating him. like they're been friends since middle school iirc so like around 13 years old and nisei probably wasn't THAT bad back then so like. what happened in the interim like where did this start and where is this going..........
#i have some headcanons on the last part but uweuhgh.......... they're very headcanon poor meow meow-y haha maybe i'll draw them someday#i have an idea for a comic about how they became friends#also i think it's interesting that mimuro's name is fearless and people seem afraid of nisei in a lot of ways#like just offput by him even when he's just vibing#i wonder if his name gave him immunity to nisei's loveless vibes if loveless was his original name per nameswap theory#also if nisei WAS being ''seductive'' when they first met that's um. a little concerning.#it's established that nisei is an asshole because he's lashing out but i really wonder what drove him to connect with mimuro the way he did#like i don't. okay i don't think nisei is in love with mimuro LOL but he definitely feels something for him or is getting something not--#purely tangible out of their relationship. like he enjoys his companionship which is like. an insane concession from nisei#but nisei also seems like the type of person who's like shut off his feelings either on purpose or out of survival instinct if you--#understand what i mean....#i could explain but it's kind of um. mental illness personal posting moment so i won't but like auuuurhghuhgh

[Image ID:
A picture that says “A student once asked anthropologist Margaret Mead, “What is the earliest sign of civilization? The student expected her to say a clay pot, a grinding stone, or maybe a weapon.
Margaret Mead thought for a moment, then she said, “A healed femur.”
The second picture is a news headline. It is bolded and a much larger font. “27-year-old who couldn’t afford $1,200 insulin copay dies after trying cheaper version.”
The third picture is the same font and size as the Margaret Mead quote. It’s a continuation. It says, “A femur is the longest bone in the body, linking hip to knee. In societies without the benefits of modern medicine, it takes about six weeks of rest for a fractured femur to heal. A healed femur shows that someone cared for the injured person, did their hunting and gathering, stayed with them, and offered physical protection and human companionship until the injury could mend.”
The fourth picture is another headline. It is in a large and bolded type. “Dying man who couldn’t afford to go to hospital after vomiting blood"
The fifth picture is a screenshot of the Margaret Mead story.
Mead explained that where the law of the jungle—the survival of the fittest—rules, no healed femurs are found. The first sign of civilization is compassion, seen in a healed femur.
The next screenshot is of a slightly different font. The letters are pointier and the lines are a little curvier. It says, “Susan Finley returned to her job at a Walmart retail store in Grand Junction Colorado, after having to call in sick because she was recovering from pneumonia.
The day after she returned, the fifty three year old received her ten year associate award — and was simultaneously laid off, according to her family. She had taken off one day beyond what is permitted by Walmart’s attendance policy.
After losing her job in May 2016, Finley also lost her health insurance coverage and struggled to find a new job. Three months later, Finley was found dead in her apartment after avoiding going to see a doctor for flu-like symptoms.
A screenshot of a bold, bigger headline. It says ‘The house always wins’: Insurers’ record profits.
A final screenshot of smaller text with a slightly gray background. It says “We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.” /end ID.]
#is this post a refutation of the claim that civilizations are defined by caring for their injured?#is it a critique of our own community and saying that we aren't civilized?#YOU DECIDE!
