I always assume the train will be so boring and I bring seven things to do but then I'm entranced by the wonderful window the entire time

rule 1 of arguing is to never actually present the case in favour of your point. it shows weakness in your position that you feel the need to prove it. instead simply repeatedly assert it to be true and self-evident. rule 2 is to use mockery tactics at every opportunity. the more personal attacks to better. rule 3 is to always argue in a pack. this will indicate to your opponent that your point must clearly be convincing to other people, so there must be something to it. make repeated references to the fact that more people agree with you whenever you can. if you follow all three rules in the end you should have convinced exactly 0 people, but that's fine because if they didn't already agree with you they clearly had a moral deficiency anyway and were never even reachable in the first place

okay, i’m curious. let’s play a game. reblog this post and put in the tags the name of a fictional Indigenous character.

No headcanons, no ‘coding’, only CANONICALLY Indigenous characters. You have unlimited time. Go.

the principal aim of lying is to accomplish your goal in as few lies as possible, and with the least amount of effort necessary to keep those lies going. It follows naturally that the world’s greatest liar speaks only the truth.

I didn't know they had faces.

[Image Description: A drawing of Murderbot as the Perfect Blue poster. Murderbot is a south asian person with medium brown skin and short curly hair. it wears a blue hoodie and as its hands raised above its head and a murderous grimace on its face. Blood covers the blade it holds as well as its hoodie and there are speckles on its face. Behind it is a screen that shows the armored face of a Security Unit with parts of the advertisement overlayed onto Murderbot. The company name and its face has been glitched out. the background is a vivid orange-brown with screen lines overlayed. The message 'WARNING: Uncontrolled Unit' appears above its head. END description.]

when you compliment or thank someone for being such a good friend to you and they hit you with the "i'm going to totally betray your trust soon and you're making it really difficult not to feel conflicted about it" stare 😂😂

[valtsv]

the thing is you gotta milk these relationships for all they're worth because when you're a dog that's going to be euthanised soon in someone's eyes there's almost nothing they won't do for you however ☝️ you may struggle to get them to put aside their ethical hangups to have sex with you. in case you were wondering.

Do you know of any media that explores vampirism through the lens of disability? (I feel like if anyone would know off the top of their head it'd be you)

not really, which is annoying because it feels like such an obvious angle to take. I'm sure there are novels that cover it but nothing springs to mind on my end.
