Look, we joke a lot, but really, "you were born evil, wretched, worse than the scum of the earth, and it took killing a god to make you salvageable, so now you'd better be grateful to that god and thank him 10,000 times a day for it and fill your thoughts with him 24/7 and abide by the letter of his every word, lest you suffer unimaginable torture for all of eternity" is a truly horrendous thing to believe about yourself and other people
does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver
the reblog map is all of us holding hands btw
We are each other's night sky. No one is alone here.
night sky continues to get brighter. theres always people here for you
fyi if you're trying to use the fact that that rancid ass muskrat cunt is autistic to be like "oh he didn't know what he did was wrong" about the fact that he threw up a fucking nazi salute then you are one of the stupidest fucking cunts to walk the earth and since we're in a housing crisis you should start offering the massive amount of empty fucking space in your skull for rent

It's an open notes test and some dense motherfuckers still can't figure out the answers.

fun thing about herding and/or generally neurotic breeds: they are really good at following rules you have instituted, but they will also make their own Dog Rules they will follow stringently whether or not you like it
despite never being reprimanded for getting sick if my dog throws up she will ātattleā on herself and run over to me, show me the throw up, then hide and start shaking uncontrollably. nobody taught her to do this. she has decided that throwing up is a punishable offense until the end of time
my dog has decided that itās solely on her shoulders to ensure there is peace in my houseā¦if the cats fight she stands between them to ābreak it upā and/or herds them away, if my rats have an argument she goes to the cage door and barks until they stop. not sure why she has decided she must carry the weight of the world but she has
Quick reminder that it's always morally correct to punch nazis.
what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?
would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldnāt it?
I'm italian and there's something that people defending this shit don't fucking understand.
they think the āRoman saluteā is something unrelated to nazis or fascists but the āRoman Saluteā IS the fascist salute. It's not a different concept, it's the same thing!! It's not "good" because it doesn't have the word "nazi" in it, It's the same shit.
And to people saying "He is throwing out his heart to the crowd" tell me if YOU would do it at a 45 degree angle with your thumb tucked in and your fingers closed together. Personally, a throwing motion in my imagination has your palm completely open and your fingers spaced out
Regardless, This is what propaganda is, They do bad thing and then they say "no it good actually" and the population goes "Ok then it's all good" it's not all good, They're making you think it is. It sucks
Politicians gain power through the Ignorance of the people, don't trust people just because "They said it"
8 years later and weāre still out here
thereās a decent amt of neurologists whoāve called the sleep schedules weāre obligated to be on despite flagrant conflict with our natural circadian rhythms āborderline tortureā and the work hours weāre expected to put in despite the fact that the average person can only maintain maximal efficiency and focus for 3 hours at a timeĀ ānearly inhumaneā and i think about that a lot
Superman is a symbol of hope for people to do better, Batman is the hope for things to be better. Discuss
Yeah, pretty much.Ā I think heroism in general orbits around the central idea of I believe that the world can choose to be better, and how it shows in different characters depends on where the focus lies.
For Superman that comes out as people can be good and for Batman it comes out as things can be fair.
In a lot of cases, Superman models ideal behavior.Ā Being nigh-indestructible lets him function as basically the ultimate antidote to the bystander effect; a person who looks human (face unmasked) but can safely lead the way into adversity to help others.Ā Itās the idea that people are fundamentally good and just need a reminder/ someone to show them how.Ā Heās also the fantasy that someone with massive power would use that power to unconditionally do good.
Batman meanwhile, prioritises accountability.Ā Heās the manifestation of a guilty conscience, the shadow in the night that comes for people who do bad things for selfish reasons. But heās also fair - thereās a reason why some of his most iconic conflicts (outside of his rogues) have been him taking down mob bosses, businessmen, bankers and politicians (rather than, say, beating up poor people for shoplifting).Ā A well-characterised Batman is one who saves the shoplifter from the corrupt mayor.Ā Itās the idea that, for people to be good, there needs to be a fair system - one that wonāt punish goodness or reward exploitation. Ā (Itās not the reason why he wears a mask but I think thereās some good symbolism in the idea that, from the publicās perspective, the Batman could be nearly anyone.)Ā Heās also the fantasy that, even when the privileged/ powerful/ corrupt abuse their power, justice will still come for them and their victims.
And something thatās really unusual is that this kind of flips in their civilian identities.Ā Public figure Bruce Wayne is the mythical ethical millionaire/ billionaire; someone who uses his significant power and influence to unconditionally help Gotham and itās people to be better.Ā Meanwhile Clark Kent, mister nobody-special-from-Kansas, is often an investigative journalist; the little guy who helps expose the big guys who misuse their power.
This is part of why theyāre such good character foils for each other.Ā Batman may see Superman as somewhat naive and Superman may see Batman as being something of a paranoid downer, but at their cores they respect each because they share a similar central ideology and at times even methodology (just at different ends of the Sliding Scale of Superheroic Idealism Versus Cynicism).
The world can choose to be better, it just needs help.Ā Superman is a symbol of hope for people to be better.Ā Batman is the hope for things to be fair.
My therapist just told me my problem is that I need to write more fanfiction.
This sounds fake but the logic behind it is actually really interesting? She said obsession with a new fandom triggers quick dopamine release when we consume all this related content--it's easy and addictive.
What we're NOT getting is that 'slow dopamine' that's more sustainable and engaging. That's the kind we get from DOING things that take effort but are ultimately rewarding.
So like, she suggested that writing fic and making fanart are ways to balance the quick dopamine of watching a show/reading fic with the slow dopamine of working at something that takes effort.
Moral of the story is you should engage in the process of creation around your favorite things. You'll feel better for it.
Oh.
OH.
āsorry for the gap between updates, my therapist made me come back to thisā would not be in the top 1 million wildest authorās notes on AO3
I find it funny when queer fantasy stories are written in a setting where homophobia doesn't exist, but there's a ~forbidden romance~ element coming from some completely different, fantastical prejudice. Like
"Son, I don't care if you suck dick, but no child of mine will be sharing a bed with a goddamn necromancer!"
Just tried to play an ancient flute and it started filling the room with this awful miasma that wont go away
Why does staff still allow people funnier than you to leave tags on your posts. They should have fixed that by now
