One of worst things copaganda ever perpetuated is the rhetoric that if you aren't guilty of breaking the law, you shouldn't value your personal privacy against the state's surveillance and interrogation. That only guilty people hire lawyers when talking to police.
staring at the dessert menu and twirling my hair and going "should I be baaaaddd" until the autistic girl I'm eating with says "there is nothing bad about eating dessert. it is a morally neutral action"
trans women seeing themselves in someone and being honest about it and encouraging someone to transition is not βtransvestigatingβ i will kill you so hard
βtransvestigatingβ is a transmisogynistic harassment ritual that cis people carry out to further the stereotypes of predatory trans women. i will kill you
For those who canβt read my horrible handwriting:
1: Why do I have to be the sensitive one all the timeβ¦
2: Well, one of us has to be.
3: And I doubt Iβd be a good contender.
4: Easy for you to say.
5: What? Thereβs always the others. Iβve heard Remus would hardly mind.
6: Heβs great with all those feelings.
7: Gosh, I wouldnβt even wish that on him.
8: I meanβ¦I wouldβ
9: Janus, Iβm serious!
10: Really?
11: You donβt even like him. Frankly, nobody does.
12: Wellβ¦notβ¦exactly.
13: No?
14/1: No.
14/2: He doesnβt really care about anyone. Let alone you.
15: I knowβ¦
16: So?
17: I care about all of you.
18: Exactly.
19: What?
20: Thatβs why you have to do it.
21: Do what?
22: Granted, youβre happy trying to act like he doesnβt exist.
23: But you care about him. Even after everything you know he does.
24: Wellβ¦yeah.
25: I care about Thomas, so that includes everyone.
26: Even if I donβt agree with hisβ¦methods.
27: Heβs still a part of Thomas. And so are you, you knowβ
28: Donβt make it weird.
29: Anyways, all Iβm saying is that youβre best suited to carry that sort of load because of your capacity to be in someone elseβs corner above all else.
30: I wouldnβt go around telling Remus that though. Trust, heβll test that patience.
Rereading Legacy and I want to reach through the page and strangle Ro until her eyes pop out. What do you mean « he needs help in the humility departmentΒ Β» ?! Heβs self-confident and a bit cocky, thatβs not having a fat head ! And even if he did have a fat head, who are you to humble him ? Not only are you ten times worse but also youβre a grown woman with no relation to him whatsoever !
I swear one of these days, I need to study and compare the instances of Fitz being humbled with the instances where he actually needs it
I might get fried for this but my hot take is that Fitz isn't even all that cocky? Like yes in Keeper he definitely was proud to be an elf, a Foxfire prodigy, a Telepath and a Vacker, but who WOULDN'T be. And in that book every elf and their mother was incredibly condescending towards us humans (and some *cough* Forkle *cough* still are) so it hardly counts.
I'm getting really sick of Shannon's mouthpieces (i.e. Ro and Keefe, mostly) telling us who Fitz is when they clearly don't know or understand him at all.
Because can you get more humble than THIS?
Sophie cringed, wondering if the criticism would bother Fitz. But he grinned at her and said, βYeah, she makes us all look bad.β (Neverseen)
Or THIS?
And then he told me Iβd grow up to become an even more powerful Telepath than my dad, andΒ .Β .Β . that was the first time I ever thought I could be special. It made me feel unstoppable. And youβre a thousand times more talented than I am, Sophie. I know you can do this. (Neverseen, again)
Or even this?
Fitz slumped in his chair. Arghβthis is so awkward. I mean, it's not that I don't trust you. It's just... the only things I can come up with are going to make you think I'm such a dork.
That's not possible. You're pretty much the coolest guy I know.
Cooler than Keefe?
Well... maybe it's a tie.
A slow smile curled his lips. I guess I can live with that. (Everblaze)
Meanwhile Ro and Keefe need SERIOUS humbling time because THIS was Keefe's reaction when Sophie told him he's "one of the best guys [she] know[s]":
He raised one eyebrow as he turned to study her. βIβm not the best?β (Neverseen)
Not to forget how him having "Awesome Hair" is a tired line that he repeats over and over up to Unraveled to the point I don't even want to give him the benefit of the doubt and pretend it's ironic. Because he pretty much does think his hair is awesome and so much better than everyone else (spoiler alert: no, it's not).
And do I even need to pull out the receipts for Ro? If anyone could be more undeserving to have such a big, brash mouth, it's that woman.
Hiii I just wanted you to know I think youβre cool and you have a super awesomesauce art style. Like you draw the sides so squishy and soft looking does that make sense? Round shapes = cute basically. I especially love the way you draw Patton (my absolute fave).
I hope you have a very very nice day πβοΈ
AAAA THANK YOUUUU that is so sweet !! π₯Ήπβ¨ It does make sense yeah !!! I love Patton so much, he needs to be the roundest (the optimal friend shapeβ’)
