Twst things Florid Edition

I’m every much against the idea of “Florid is abuser x victim”. Because it’s a mischaracterization towards both the characters, thankfully it’s not something I have seen a lot of 😭

Floyd cares about Riddle in his own weird way I could point to so many examples.

Book 4 when he invites Riddle to say in Octavinelle, instead of going home because he noticed Riddle being hesitant(something I don’t see him doing for anyone else, that aren’t Jade or Azul).

Floyd noticing how little Riddle ate during the Halloween event like the op said.

Him offering to protect Riddle(in a joking way to ragebait him) in beanfest.

During Camp Vargas training after Floyd ragebaits Riddle he says(and this is a direct quote) “Aha, your face is red. I’m glad you kept yourself warm.”

The direct quote that was in the anthology “Of course Goldfishie is a very hard worker~ So admirable~ that’s what I’m thinkin’ now. Suuper amazin and other things like that…”

In book 7 when the reason Floyd started to wake up is because of what happened in their orientation when Riddle sent him flying.

(Take the next couple points with a grain of salt because I’m not 100% sure) in the Phantom bride event in jp Floyd says "Goldfishie is perfect the way he is."

Floyd remembering Riddle likes sweets

In Endless Halloween Riddle runs into the mirror after declaring he has to save his students, and Floyd is surprised at the sudden action from Riddle, saying he wanted to go through too and runs after him

Unironically Floyd would be really good for Riddle 😭 Floyd has never tiptoed around Riddles anger like the others have.

Riddle as well, if he truly wanted Floyd gone he could have so easily especially considering how much stronger he is. When it comes to magic at least. Riddle was concerned for Floyd in Floyds SR lab wear, when Floyd said he wasn’t in the mood to annoy him. Regardless of how much Riddle says he doesn’t like Floyd, he still acknowledges him. In the Stitch Riddle scolds Floyd for jumping into the ocean without stretching. Riddle shows his care and worry towards Floyd.

Now there isn’t a lot of canon backing to what I’m about to say, but I think it’s still important to mention. Floyd has NEVER shied away from Riddles anger, never tip toeing around Riddle to avoid his anger like alot of the other characters have, Floyd has always treated Riddle the same(Pre and post character development). So imagine how that would feel for Riddle, having someone around that isnt afraid of setting him off, that has always treated him the same, someone who loves both sides of him.

TLDR the ship isn’t Victim x Bully

can you tell I’m very passionate about this ship?

Hi everyone! This is an illustrated guide I made as part of my co-admining work at The Middle Eastern Feminist on Facebook! It will be published there shortly.  The technique that is displayed here is a genuine one used in psychology - I forgot the name and couldn’t find it again so if you know about it, feel free to tell me! Some could say: “Yes but you can use that technique for instances of harassment other than Islamophobic attacks!”, and my reply is: Sure! Please do so, it also works for other “types” of harassment of a lone person in a public space!! However I’m focusing on protecting Muslims here, as they have been very specific targets lately, and as a French Middle Eastern woman, I wanted to try and do something to raise awareness on how to help when such things happen before our eyes - that way one cannot say they “didn’t know what to do”!  I’d like to insist on two things: 1) Do not, in any way, interact with the attacker. You must absolutely ignore them and focus entirely on the person being attacked! 2) Please make sure to always respect the wishes of the person you’re helping: whether they want you to leave quickly afterwards, or not! If you’re in a hurry escort them to a place where someone else can take over - call one of their friends, or one of yours, of if they want to, the police. It all depends on how they feel! For my fellow French-speakers: I will translate it in French and post it on my page as soon as I can :) Please don’t hesitate to share this guide as it could push a lot of people to overcome bystander syndrome!! Lots of love and stay safe! PS: I you repost this cartoon of mine on twitter or instagram, please add me in the post so I can see it, with @itsmaeril :)

An important reminder today, and every day.

This is based off of the Non-Complementary technique in psychology - also known as ‘flipping the script’.

It is a legitimate tactic for defusing a situation that could otherwise escalate to become quite nasty.

please god above can someone explain to me why we're still working on self driving cars when trains exist

[teaboot]

"we're training them to interpret road signs!" Train goes same place every day. No road signs.

"when forced to choose between old lady and child, which is more ethical for the car to hit?" Fence around train track. Nobody on the road.

"people with disabilities preventing them from driving themselves can be independent" Yes but also. Train.

"reduces the dangers of fatigue with long distance trucking" Train.

"the technology is not yet price effective for the average driver" Train.

Is Dire Crowley... Actually Raverne?

Hello, fellow humans! Welcome to the Curiouser Chronicles!

Today, I wanted to discuss and analyze the character of Dire Crowley, and also analyze a popular fan theory that has circulated around the internet. I thought it would be interesting to make an analysis post on this topic.

I hope you enjoy it. Without further ado, let's dive in.

---------------------

What We Know About Crowley (that is relevant to this post)

His Name: "Dire Crowley". Names hold great significance, so let's look at what his name means.

The word "dire" has two main definitions. The first means, "(of a situation or event) extremely serious or urgent". The second means, "(of a warning or threat) presaging disaster".

"Crowley", of course, obviously has the word "Crow" in it. It's worth noting, however, that this last name is, in fact, a real last name. The most infamous person with this name, Aleister Crowley, was known as "the wickedest man in the world", due to a lot of controversial and terrible things he did and believed in.

His Physical Appearance: There are a few details worth mentioning.

His ears are among his most distinguishable features. They're pointed similarly to those of Lilia's and Malleus'.

The mask that he wears bears a striking resemblance to the masks worn by Briar Valley soldiers, as we see in Lilia's flashback. The holes in the nose, the length of the beak, and even the glowing yellow eyes are all eerily similar (see images above).

Other Facts

We know that he's been the headmaster of Night Raven College for a while. Some people say ~100 years, but I'm unsure if it is canon.

He seems to be able to, in part, see the future, or possible futures, as hinted at by his dialogue, "we are all running out of time".

What We Don't Know About Crowley

...Literally everything else.

His exact age

His species

His Unique Magic

The capabilities of his power

His backstory and origins

The Symbolism of Birds

I'd like to contrast the symbolism between crows and ravens (these are generalizations).

Common themes for crows are: intelligence, adaptability, cunning, resourcefulness, transformation, and transition.

Common themes for ravens are: wisdom, prophecy, being a messenger between worlds, and mystery.

Both can be viewed as good or bad. Both are associated with death.

-> A group of ravens is called an "unkindness".

-> A group of crows... is called a "murder".

Why am I bringing this up? Although Crowley has obvious crow motifs... there's no obvious tie or "twist" from a previously established crow character in the Disney lore. There are no major, standout characters that are crows, aside from the controversial group of crows in Dumbo. All of the other major and important birds in films... are ravens. Not crows. It's also worth noting that crows and ravens have very similar appearances and are in the same family of birds.

So, is Crowley actually Raverne?

I think that it is a possibility. But I am not going to definitively say that it is or isn't true. Here's why.

It is 100% true that Crowley has a striking resemblance to the Night Fae. There is no denying it. I am also of the opinion that Crowley is hiding SOMETHING. Why would we, the players, be privy to seeing a scene with him and the Dark Mirror that no one else knows about, if it isn't important?

Raverne's disappearance is also... strange. Though he is ASSUMED dead, he simply vanished and was never found. That is a very odd and specific detail to put into the game.

Another interesting detail I would like to point out is the thematic parallel between Lilia and Crowley. Lilia can see into the past... and Crowley can see into the future. It would be a fitting contrast for the former generals of the Left and Right.

But there is a glaringly obvious plot hole right now in this theory.

How would Lilia not recognize his former best friend?

One could argue that hundreds of years apart, plus grief and the set belief Lilia has that Raverne is, in fact, dead, could blind him to this fact. Or, perhaps, the mask could change his voice, somehow, almost acting like a concealer in a similar manner to his face. But it would still need to be addressed and done well.

A lot of the evidence towards Crowley being Raverne comes from a lack of evidence to the contrary. Meaning, because Crowley and Raverne are both such mysterious characters, though dots CAN be connected, a lot of this hinges upon the fact that there is nothing that can stand on its own two legs that is contrary.

...but it is very interesting that Crowley obviously shows traits that are common symbolic motifs in both crows and ravens.

I would love to discuss this theory with you in the comments. Please let me know what you think of my post and the theory as a whole!

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.

[queer-asinfuckyou]

Because I just saw a post bitching about this one, I want to add: this post is saying that you need to take accountability for the way you hurt other people, even if it happens because of a symptom of your disability/illness. It's also saying that using terms (especially acronyms) that aren't common knowledge isn't a helpful way to explain yourself. It is NOT saying that you need to let people walk all over you because "your disability isn't an excuse."

If you're diabetic, you don't have to eat the honey glazed ham that will send you into a coma (their example). But you also can't yell at the person offering it and accuse them of trying to kill you. You can just say "thanks, but my body can't handle that kind of sugar intake, so I'll pass"

[altonin-deactivated20180325]

if you want to actually start to end homelessness, you need to give homeless people unconditional homes, including when we use them to do drugs or sit around drinking. either housing is unconditional or it isn’t

someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter

most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t

homeless people actually can’t be rehabilitated if you want to end homelessness. we either affirm the right to shelter for the worst drunken, lying, filthy, cheating, self destructive homeless people that exist, genuinely irredeemable wankers, or we concede that shelter is not a right

This post is the distilled essence of everything I believe in.

[gayshitanddadjokes]

What the fuck is this??????????

Folks: you CANNOT censor trigger tags. When you block a tag, it doesn't block other "spellings" of it. Writing it as "r@pe" or "r4p3" means that someone who has "tw rape" as a blocked tag will still see that post because you didn't wanna say the word rape. You are hurting people. Do not censor words, because people do not have those filtered out.

And honestly if you can't even write the word rape to protect other people then you probably aren't old/mature enough to discuss the topic.

[cholerascum]

this. this shit INFRUIATES me. i have to block literally 10 different versions of the SAME FUCKING TAG because everyone does this 1337 speak bullshit for their tags.

sorry, if youre talking about shit not everyone is gonna wanna see or be mentally prepared for, TAG YOUR SHIT RIGHT!
