Interesting mile-long fanfic/theorypost/xreader imagine! Have you considered using this button
It may look like a yummy Burger, but it is called a "read more"
Americans trying to explain that they don’t want to see long text posts: so imagine a burger
just wanna say i am a big fan of this trope specifically
Updated my shop today with new prints, the Olruggio and Qifrey standees, and the keychains! And I finally got around to compiling all my ASL birthday week illustrations into a single book! Please check it out!
Of note, I just ordered the prints a few days ago and they won’t be arriving for another week or 2, so if you order them, please be patient on the shipping! And unfortunately I didn’t get to order N with the new batch of prints so N will also come a bit later than the rest of them heh
Prints, charms, and stickers

I cant believe this tweet is how I find out
now all the things you guys have told me about american high schools are starting to make sense
holy shit.
You're not really supposed to say it this way, because its considered crass, but here in the US children are culturally and legally considered essentially the property of their parents.
Note that its considered more crass to point this out than it is to treat children as property in the first place.
This is true. Kids' constitutional rights are also a mess; for a long time, they were relegated to the juvenile justice system which was able to do essentially anything it wanted to them in the guise of being a "kind and just parent." This culminated in the Supreme Court case In Re Gault.
In Re Gault was about a 15 year old kid who allegedly did a stupid crank phone call to a neighbor. (I don't think it was ever proven that it was actually him; he said it was his friend and he kicked his friend out after the phone call was made.) The sheriff took him into custody, his parents were not informed, and he was kept at the local jail. After that, the judge in the case decided that he needed to go to the state reform school until he was twenty-one (21) god damn years old.
Important to note that these reform schools were unregulated rarely inspected abuse factories. As with pretty much any time you hide away children and put adults in charge of them who can do anything they want, the children were often directly physically and sexually abused, used for forced labor, locked in solitary confinement, deprived of education, forced into religious conversion... What happened to these kids is very similar to the unceasing horror and violence done to Native Americans in residential schools, complete with unmarked graves, and just like with the indigenous peoples, authorities patted themselves on the back for taking care of the problem.
Gault, in this process, was not:
Told what specific crime he was charged with (the judge tried to backtrack and say it was a different one later)
Given an attorney
Given a transcript or the ability to make a transcript of the proceedings
Allowed to appeal the decision.
His parents brought it to the state Supreme Court anyway on a habeas corpus petition, which the Court referred back to the original judge to decide. When the original judge decided that he'd been right after all, they brought it back to the state Supreme Court, which said that all the problems seemed cleared up now.
The United States Supreme Court reversed 8-1 (THERE WAS A DISSENT!!!!) and gave kids, at that point, in the year of our lord 1967, the right to know what charges they had, the right to confront their accusers, and the right to have an attorney.
I joke-not-joke that the only right that kids have in the United States is the right to me. Because they do get an attorney when they get dragged into court! They get fuck-all else.
wore my thigh high boots on a walk today and we had to take a path through some long grass and while everyone else was rolling their pants into their socks and putting on jackets to protect themselves from ticks i was standing there smug as hell in my thigh high leather boots.

sketch -> final
huh
I'm apparently so consistently aroace that a friend of mine uses me as a measurement for whether or not something counts as "romantic," based on when I stop understanding what he's talking about.
@loraxofygg Stop being funnier than me on my own post (/j).
you know. i must say that this is true for me as well
honestly one of the all time tweets of all time tbh
one of the best feelings tbh
Ngl I totally forgot fandom discourse was a thing. I don’t care man, I have car payments
starting a collection
If I may submit:
"I have never seen a cat that showed affection/love for it's owner" is the pet ownership version of "I don't believe in Female Orgasms they don't exist, after all, my wife has never had one"
"it's ok to show (x) in fiction as long as the bad guy gets punished!" the bad guy doesn't have to get punished. in fact the bad guy can win altogether. the bad guy can entirely get away with it. hope this helps
and this part might make some people's head explode but: characters can be written to forgive things you personally wouldn't ever forgive. not everything is written as what you'd perceive to be the right choice. not everything is a self-insert & protagonists don't have to be relatable.
