the reason most anti bullying psa's completely fail is because they fail to identify why people bully others, and fail to identify that kids actually do internalize oppressive structures REALLY early on. white kids understand that racialized kids are easy targets, and white teachers either fail to catch racism or are racist themselves. non-disabled kids understand that disabilities are easy to pick on, kids recognize the sissy archetype very early on, boys internalize that girls are lesser than them, kids notice they can take advantage of autistic behavior, and it flies under the radar cause teachers offer little to no support to marginalized kids or outright victim blame them. "ignoring bullies" is a model that assumes bullies just want attention. we should instead assume bullies are taking advantage of others.

The real reason your sapient dragon character needs a "rider":

Dragons on the wing are vulnerable to being mobbed by smaller, more agile flyers, particularly in your large rear blind spot, like a bird of prey being mobbed by crows. Having a human armed with a long spear perched on your back helps to dissuade anyone from getting any funny ideas.

Breath weapons are impressive enough on the ground, but in flight they're really only good for strafing stationary targets; trying to use your breath weapon in an aerial dogfight is a good way to get fire up your nose. A real fight calls for sterner measures – and, concomitantly, a crew to aim and reload the cannons.

In today's competitive world, it's not enough to devour a flock of sheep and call it a day if you want to keep your edge. You're accompanied at all times by a qualified personal alchemist tasked with carefully regulating your internal furnace to ensure peak performance, and sometimes you even listen to them.

No dragon of any quality would be caught dead without their valet. It's not as though you can announce your numerous long-winded titles yourself when introductions are called for, can you? You suppose next you'll be expected to pick up the spoils of your conquests yourself, like a common brigand. Perish the thought!

Absolutely crazy to me that the pro AI people nearly always think creative stuff is a chore that a machine needs to do instead of something that is actually fun.

"The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain."

-Ursula K. LeGuin, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas

[wizardnuke]

"Evil is boring. Right? I kinda believe in the banality and mundaneness of evil. Evil is just selfish impulses, which at the end of the day are really easy to understand. It’s easy to understand why people do bad things. It’s like “yeah, ok, you’re selfish and scared and cruel, I get it”. Being good is complex and beautiful and hard." - Brennan Lee Mulligan

i told my dad the joke “dad jokes are just mom jokes that a man repeated louder” and he thought it was hilarious. he turned to my mother, intending to relay the joke to her, and a bare second after he opened his mouth i watched it dawn on his face that he was about to become the subject of the joke. when i tell you that man was slackjawed as he turned back to me, like he had an entire life altering realization in the span of about 20 seconds.

This . . . actually looks like a doable workout routine.

[brightlotusmoon]

...in fact a bunch of these have been done in my cerebral palsy therapies, at least with help. And my upper abs are hardcore, particularly on the left which is my spastic hemiplegia side, because spastic CP means microspasms and chronic contracting of muscles. Like, you can't see my six pack anymore, but I have done most of these workouts in some form for my disability for a couple of decades.

[stevishabitat]

I needs this. I used to have very strong core, and it was such a good thing for life in general. Then I did the pregnancy. And yo... pregnancy does quite a thing to your abdomen. I had no idea what that would actually be like IRL.

Now... my muscles are very floppy, and not much good at things like lifting, carrying, getting off the couch, keeping my back from hurting, etc. 

I would have no idea where to start though, because most of what this lovely person demonstrated would just look like me laying on the floor like a fish out of water.

Is there a beginner version???

[brightlotusmoon]

@stevishabitat Look up physical therapy exercises for core strength! We do a lot of thrusts, bridges, bicycles, planks, Pilates style movements where you lay on your back and lift your legs up, lots of propping up the legs on a large ball, etc. Roll up a towel or use a resistance band and use it across your feet as you stretch your legs. I've never had pregnancies but I'd imagine it's like a lot of core injuries that need gentle encouraging to get the muscles and tendons to snap back. Even lying in bed lifting my upper body so I "crunch" my abs is very helpful.

I suggest physical therapy and Pilates and tai chi over yoga poses, because I personally cannot do yoga unless it is specific restorative style for disabilities like what my mom teaches.

Also, I hate Western Yoga Culture to the point where it's an anxiety trigger, so if I do a move that someone insists is yoga and I politely with bared teeth say it's physical therapy, I'm just trying not to snap. Long story, many arguments with yoga instructors who didn't understand CPTSD. Also, it's contradicted in EDS and spasticity, and even some folks in my cerebral palsy groups have turned into "yoga heals everything" cultists and they're hard to ignore.

Anyway. Physical therapy and orthopedic exercises to train the abs, lower back, and hips. *finger guns, double thumbs*

("don't let them get to you, just ignore them, just be you tee hee" is much easier said than done when you're not being actively targeted by people who really do think they know you better than you know you)

@stevishabitat I believe that @hawthorn-and-ivy had a similar problem after giving birth to her twins. She might have some good advice. :)

[tifa-simp]

One thing I will never agree with many ppl about Cloti is that Tifa loves Cloud more than he loves her.

I'll make this clear for anyone here cos it's straight from the game that:

1. Cloud loves Tifa first. Never forget that.

And 2. This isn't about love. It's about Tifa.

I'm not the biggest Cloti fan, but making Tifa cares about Cloud less won't solve the problem you have with the ship. In fact, it'll ruin Tifa's characterization.

Why?

Cos caring too much is one of Tifa's fundamental traits.

Who is Tifa Lockhart?

She's the girl who walked all the way to the mt.Nibel to find her mother even when no one stayed with her.

She's the girl who followed her father to face the legendary SOLDIER - who just murdered her entire village.

She's the girl who risked her life over and over again to help Jessie - someone she barely knew - even when she knew Shinra could kill her for it.

She's the girl who spent every last gil she'd earned on giving Barret and Marlene a home.

She's the only person who stepped in to help the shower lady when she's held at gun point by Shinra soldier while everyone just stood and watched.

She's the girl who went to a human trafficking ring alone so she could find some information for Avalanche.

She's the girl who put the loss of her second home aside to save Aerith.

She's the girl who fought the underground Goden Saucer prison to help Leslie and a woman she never meets.

She's the girl who adopted Denzel from just 1 crying for help phone call.

Tifa Lockhart has ALWAYS been that ride or die kinda girl. She'll do anything in her power, even risking her life, for people she loves. Cloud isn't an exception. It isn't Tifa loves Cloud more than Cloud loves her. It's that Tifa loves everyone too much. Reducing it to just shipping is doing Tifa a disservice.

Cloti being romantic or platonic doesn't matter. Tifa will sacrifice that much for Cloud regardless. Because Cloud, god bless him, is a man with a LOT of problems. And it takes him just just as much hardship to improve himself. You might think Cloud is perfect the way he is. But Cloud's world doesn't exist in a vacuum. His actions and shortcomings do affect ppl around him and himself. Cloud has a plethora of issues, and he does need to get better. Tifa takes it upon herself to help him in that process. It's a long, exhausting, and deadly journey, but Tifa commits to it cos she cares.

Cos that's who she is. Tifa won't be Tifa if she leaves someone she loves struggling alone. Make it Barret or Jessie or Aerith or, yes, even Cloud. She won't give up on them. That's not her. I wouldn't want her to be any other way.

Her devotion is something she has to struggle with, but never something she must get rid of. Does it hurt her? Of course it does. Too many times. But she wouldn't have lived the life she has without it. Making her love less won't solve the problem, it's the others who need to love her more.
