"what radicalized you" well in kindergarten they told me to share things and be nice to people.

I think the reason I still enjoy tumblr is that even though this all still pisses me off, I know that anything that makes me mad on here is 100% earnest. It's not ragebait or engagement farming, y'all are actually just that stupid sometimes

A doll youtuber I watch has made a video about the history of Polly Pocket, and she's describing the plots of the dvd specials, one of which features an elderly woman named Ms. Throckmorton, and my reaction was

Most of the mischaracterization Riza suffers from wouldn’t be nearly as popular if people actually understood why she follows Roy and it isn’t just love and loyalty.

One of the main reasons she stays by his side is because she sees herself as the guardian of flame alchemy. She’s trying to make sure of two things: 1. no one ever gets their hands on it again. and 2. the only person who can use it never misuses it again. That’s why she follows him. She has to. She’s watching the weapon she helped create.

And she has to keep him alive not only because he’s the one with the political power (meaning he’s her only real way to make sure the trials happen), but because he has to live long enough to atone for what he did with flame alchemy. The power SHE gave him.

From Riza’s point of view, every crime Mustang commits is hers too. Every time flame alchemy is used to kill that blood is on her hands too. Every person he killed is someone she killed by proxy.

She’s not just guarding him. She’s sharing his guilt. It’s like she’s trying to atone for her own sins, but he has to atone too so she can atone through him.

I think this Hannibal quote fits them really well: “You and I have begun to blur. Every crime of yours feels like one I’m guilty of.” Like yeah she obviously loves him. But reducing their relationship to just that completely flattens what’s actually going on.

ao3′s orphaning option is cool and a good idea but mostly very fucking funny. i posted this work for fun when i was younger and i still want people to be able to come back to it if they liked it, but now im an adult professional and i dont want it attached to my name. whats the word for that? umm, anonymously posting? no. i want something that indicates i murdered this story’s parents 

[kyraneko]

technically the story’s parents faked their own death and disappeared to go have an office job, and that’s even funnier

Oda might be a weirdo who created a fantasy world where the average adult human woman has back breaking breasts and a waist the circumference of my wrist until the ripe old age of 45 upon which they morph into another person entirely (trust that I will be meeting him in person to fist fight about this) but at least he's given them rather compelling character premises.

Thief who sold herself to her mother's killer for the mere possibility to save the rest of her town. COMPELLING.

Creepy bookworm assassin on the run because she lived through a genocide as a child. Fascinating.

Princess undercover as a mercenary to save her country and called a good fit for the throne not because of her white knuckled devotion to her people, but because she knows how to turn the other cheek. Suffering.

Most eldest daughter ever who thinks she should pay for the crimes she committed to stay alive and is right. Ough.

Former slave turned queen who uses her desirability as a means of control and falls for the first man who doesn't want her body. Devastating.

Like there's so many more but c'mon these are so compelling I want to chew rocks. One day I will liberate these women from Oda's wretched pen.

All it means when people say “you’re speaking from a place of privilege” is that you’re likely to underestimate how bad the problem is by default because you are never personally exposed to that problem. It’s not a moral judgement of how difficult your life is.
