my favorite mbmbam bit is when travis says something mildly out of the box & justin and/or griffin react like he did something legitimately insane

.

thinking about that time when i accidentally read a 200k word fic where one of the main characters dies in the end because i almost just did it again with kimchay.

Work today was kinda awful ? Not bc of the family or anything but it's so stressful trying to one man a 100+ person service...I also have to wake up early tomorrow for con & getting ready but I think I've accepted I won't get a lot of sleep because I still need to eat and get prepped for tomorrow so eh... qwq

where does helia say he's a pacifist? i don't remember that

He says it on his profile from the old winx website!

Anyway, while I love the rest of the information and do consider this canon, I still don't think he's a pacifist. Like,, by definition he is not a pacifist. I'll even get the definition!

Wikipedia: Pacifism is the opposition or resistance to war, militarism (including conscription and mandatory military service), or violence.

Like again, by definition, he just isn't a pacifist. Pacifists aren't people who just happen to prefer peace, they're very firm in their belief that the military straight up shouldn't be a thing, that any kind of violence is unnecessary, that all disputes can be solved without violence, etc. Even if we go with the theory that Helia hates Red Fountain and was forced to be there (not true, sorry), he still participates in and enacts violence in situations of his own volition. He's very Aware of when he's being violent.

I do have some thoughts on him directly saying he's a pacifist though! It's possible that he briefly considered himself a pacifist while he was at art school but changed his mind and came back. Or he's a pacifist in the same way that Flora is. Aka, they consider themselves pacifists but are too loyal to their friends and role to actually stick true to that. Flora is too loyal to the winx and helping people and she finds it more important than wanting to not be violent. Helia is likely similar in that he prefers No Violence but is too loyal to Red Fountain and later on the specialists to actually Be a pacifist.

There's also the theory that he just lied to people about being a pacifist so he wouldn't have to explain that he wanted to be an artist akdjhgad OR that him being a pacifist was just a rumor that he stuck to. Honestly, we really just don't know why he considered himself a pacifist when he Literally isn't. Like again,,, By Definition, he isn't a pacifist. Like this isn't me just disagreeing with canon or having a headcanon, he literally isn't a pacifist. It's like if Bloom said she was blonde - like no baby you're not.

I cant watch animal documentaries too much, they make me cry too often 😭

genuine question how the fuck do you dress emo formally without it becoming too goth

welp. the phantom cramps are no longer phantom 😃

happy anniversary to the morning i woke up to the chaos of luke’s solo album announcement and had no idea what the fuck was happening. 

you know, am I completely sold on all the adaptational changes that seem to have been made for the show? No (though we still don't know much yet, so idk how that will change). Am I really pleased that their leading talking points about VA are the class issues between royal Moroi and dhampir and how that affects Rose and Lissa's friendship? Yeah. Yeah I really am. I think that's an important core part of the series that we didn't get to see covered in the movie and is really worth a long, hard look at (even the books themselves, especially bloodlines imo, needed to take a longer, harder look at those social issues of the world)

hello world i am in my real bed for the first time in a week this is so strange
