braces!dazai strikes again ! chuuya has some realizations

[sensitiveheartless]

Part 4 of the "Dazai and Chuuya being competitive, mutually pining disasters" comics!

<- (Previous part) (Next part) ->

Most of this one is under the cut because it got LONG

[sensitiveheartless]

Chuuya making Dazai cry in the last comic broke my heart, I know it’s only a few tears but jeez that had to hurt

He’ll be alright, he’s just experiencing equal measures of reluctant heartbreak and crippling embarrassment (he ran all the way back to the ADA and has been dividing his time between sulking on the couch and thudding his head on his own desk ever since)(it’s okay, the other detectives are attempting to cheer him up in their own special ways :D)

Anybody else currently experiencing that Tumblr claims there's alerts/notifications, but refuses to show you what they are, or any of your old ones for that matter?

I'd share screenshots as an example but the app is bitching and claiming my "ask every time" to access my files means it doesn't have access at all, ever. Despite me picking the screenshots from their selection.

Happy Birthday Chuuya!

My take on Nie Huaisang’s design notes for Wei Yings cultivation outfit from “truth will out (when caught on video)” by @kizukatana

This fic is SO GOOD and i am also a sucker for nhs as a fashion designer in any fic.

I also did an alternate version and designed a logo for NHS because i have no control of my life and got hyper-focused on drawing 😅

Where is the International protection the Palestinian people is entitled to when the occupying power violates international law and harms those it is obliged to protect. Aren't Palestinians lives worth saving?

I’m always gonna be pissed that amatonormatvity as a term and a model for understanding society was literally mocked into disuse by exclusionists because of its association with aromantic folks.

Amatonormativity, honestly, has approximately fuck-all to do with aros. We did not even coin it, we’re simply the only people who actually take it seriously cause we’re among the ones who are most hurt by it. And it PISSES me the fuck off that it is not a widespread model used in greater queer discussions.

[ace-and-aro-bloggggg]

Amatonormativity is what causes romantic relationships to be prioritized above all else. The adults who find themselves slowly losing friends until their only contacts are their coworkers and their own nuclear family? Amatonormativity.

Rebelling against this culture and embracing a non-hierarchical view of relationships is the first step to making genuine connections and improving our collective mental health.

[karl-the-not-so-great]

May I also add: Amatonormativity is what causes consensual non-monogamy be treated as inherently abusive, and its the same thing that causes being in an abusive relationship to be seen as better than being single. Amatonormativity is a fundamental part of slut shaming, stigma against sex work and rape culture. Amatonormativity impacts everyone and really should have become a widely discussed and challenged concept but people just hated aspecs so much they were willing to shoot their alleged activism in the foot for it.

[anarchistmemedistro]

[queeranarchism]

The way capitalism pushes everyone to organize into two-adult-some-kids financial units that are much more easily exploitable and kept under control than interconnected multi-generational communities where you don’t need to be having sex with someone to share resources with them? Amatonormativity.

[jabberwockypie]

Or even just how hard it is for a lot of single people to survive, because there’s this baseline assumption that stuff is built for two partnered people, with two incomes, and how much more expensive it is to be single.

[seananmcguire]

As an ace person who forms very strong friendships, I am so tired of being pushed out every time one of my friends gets a new SO. I did years of work to be loving and supportive and there through the bad parts, why does someone with nice tits win the field just by saying “you can touch these now”?

Amatonormativity means most of the people in your life are only ever there to go, and it’s exhausting.

[2spirit-1spoon]

"Your community is situated in a popular Canadian drilling region. Has there been more conflict there, apart from yours?

There's been all kinds of stuff that's happened in my area that never hits the papers. Supposedly, someone blew up a pipe just across the border in Tomslake, BC.

And there was one sour gas well that blew right on the same road two or three kilometers from the alleged bombing site. The pipe actually blew out from sand corrosion on an elbow from fracking—they hadn't cleaned it out properly—and that thing blew for eight hours. The people in that area had to self-evacuate. Nobody came.

Even when they called 911 they didn't come. Eight hours of "jet engine" blasting of sour gas into the atmosphere. Cattle lost their fetuses, horses got sick, and one of the women who lives nearby is sick, probably for life."

This is a protest. His refusal is saving lives and land. Imagine the whole community doing this. A whole city. Region. Tribe.

[sandersstudies]

Sick list of symptoms bro. Now try humanizing your behavior instead of pathologizing it.

[sandersstudies]

Pathologizing: Hey sorry I yelled at you. I have this ADHD symptom called RSD that makes me really sensitive.

Humanizing: Hey, I’m sorry that I blew up like that earlier. In the moment I felt really attacked and overwhelmed and I reacted badly, but I know you didn’t mean to offend me with what you said, so that behavior is on me.

[sandersstudies]

Not sure if these guys want to be tagged but everybody in the notes is elaborating much better than I could.

[sandersstudies]

The first behavior (whether you like it or not) can make the other person feel distant from you. (“Oh. Huh. I don’t have that symptom so I guess I could never understand…”)

Whereas describing your thoughts and feelings makes the other person feel connected to you. (“That’s an experience I’ve had before, I’ve definitely made a similar mistake.”)

Chuuya: "Listen here, you lanky shit"

[high-quality-tiktoks]

The screenwriters are my comrades and I fully understand how they feel🫡

[lg5]

It's crazy that these strikes are happening given that all the writers and actors are asking for is less than 0.3% of the revenue these studios make.

[rootbeergoddess]

This is what gets me. The writers and actors aren’t asking for much but these CEOs are digging their heels in

[vermilionstarlight]

It's because it sets a precedent that the CEOs are terrified to set. That they will acquiesce to worker demands if the workers are resolute enough.

Because in an ideal world for these rich fucks, the workers give up, and the CEOs win, and its reinforced in the collective public mindset that all a strike does is "disrupt the economy, deprive people of valuable products, and waste people's time". The goal is to maintain the assertion that Strikes Don't Work. I don't think they genuinely give a shit about 0.15% of their revenue. What they care about is the OPTICS.

They cannot back down, for the exact same reason that WORKERS cannot back down. Because if the workers win, it shows people just that bit more that The Poors have power and ultimately we can make the rich do what we want if we put our fucking minds to it. And that, to the rich, is bad news bears to the highest degree.

burning man 2023 explained

burning man is a festival for rich white people who want to smoke weed and trip acid in the nevada desert and pretend they're one with the earth. it's not a music festival or anything that serves any purpose, it's just vibes

a hundred year flash flood just hit nevada, including where burning man is being held this very weekend

dry desert ground can't suddenly absorb water, let alone that much water all at once, so now burning man is a giant mud pit with THICK deep mud

nobody can get in or out, so they closed all the roads

FEMA just told the *73,000 PEOPLE* stranded at burning man to shelter in place, ration food and water, and essentially "you're on your own, good luck"

the port-o-potties are overflowing into the mud they're all walking around in

the official CDC twitter account tweeted (and then deleted) that there's a confirmed ebola outbreak at burning man, but people are pretty sure it's just trench illnesses. like actual WWI trench illnesses

earlier this week, climate activists protested against burning man, and all the attendees drove right past them (and yelled at them, and tried to get them arrested, etc)

there's a private jet at burning man where people can join the mile high club. it just takes off and lands all day and lets people fuck in it. no word yet on the fuck plane's current status/location

and lastly: when the ground here gets wet, the sea monkeys hatch
