I'm cool I swear

Rarepair enthusiast (mainly azutara), also somehow a Hahn atla fan. Fandomwise I love atla, spop, lok, ultraman, the pitt, DC, bg3, and rgu. Outside of fandom I really like fish and other cute animals :) He/Him

Learning this was an intentional genocide changed me.

[fighterkimburgess]

I know most of those following me know this, but just to make it super clear. An Gorta Mór (The Great Hunger/the Great Famine) was a deliberate genocide of the Irish people. There was enough food grown in Ireland to make sure everyone was alive and healthy and survived. Instead it was exported, sent to England and elsewhere for profit while men, women, and children starved in the streets. While the English landlords fucked off and evicted starving families who couldn’t afford rent. While babies were too weak to cry and died at the side of the road.

They tried to kill us, but they did not succeed. And we owe so much thanks to the other oppressed peoples, in particular the Choctaw Nation and the Masai, who sent money and grain to us.

Let me repeat that. The Choctaw Nation who had just gone through the Trail of Tears sent us money to try save Irish lives. It’s led to an understanding between Irish people and Native American tribes, most recently when we donated to the Navajo and Hopi fundraisers for COVID-19 relief, because while it may be a different tribe, Irish people will never forget those who helped us and we’ll help back.

The entire population of the island is less than seven million people. We’re still a million less on this island than pre famine. And it’s not that long ago. My grandmother’s grandparents lived through it. We’ve told the stories, it literally changed the DNA of the country. We have a national fear of renting, because so many people were evicted. People joke about Irish people always offering loads of food, but it’s because there’s that cultural memory of not being able to.

They tried to kill us, but they did not succeed. We will not let them take our lives, we will not let them take our language. We lost so much, but we will not lose it all.

This is why I get so angry when people say “it was the potato famine, it was because of monoculture/microbes.”

Nope. The potatoes were the only thing Irish people were allowed to fucking eat, because as pointed out, the rest of the crops they were growing were for their landlords to ship to England. So when the one “worthless” crop they were allowed to eat rotted in the field, the English crown, empire, landlords, all shrugged and carried on. People starved to death lying next to productive fields.

I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit.

Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks!

Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you.

No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags. But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset.

It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast.

Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person. Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.

Why does everyone think fiction is just fantasy wish fulfillment now and not like an exploration of themes and ideas

[teaboot]

why does this keep happening

this ride sucks

[knittinglizards]

i don't think the touga backstory stuff in the movie is Actually evident in the series itself but with it in mind how he acts in the coffins flashback (esp freezing up a little when one of the adults who are looking for utena suggests she was kidnapped) makes a lot of sense and saionji's jealousy being based around his being ahead of him/~more grownup is like REALLY FUCKED UP

[knittinglizards]

the 'care to take the wheel?'/'but i'm not old enough' exchange in the first of the end of the world car sequences (and lowkey like every time he talks to akio) also slot easily into that backstory and i think have a little more substance to infer Some history of csa if only at akio's hands. like what we literally see is definitely not above board and as it's very very easy to read touga as trying to emulate him in how he treats his (younger) peers inferring it as part of that makes sense

[cryingoverferdia]

Kinda unprofessional of Mikage to be the scientist AND the experiment

[frajer-00]

Come to think of if, Saionji is just like clavicular

[geospiral]

Horton Hears a Who is something that would happen to Nanami

[dzcool3]

why does no one talk about how he did this

Compared to the other BR duelists, Kanae’s color is significantly lighter, and she has less buttons on her coat, as well as only having them on her left side; yet another way she’s distinguished from those who draw swords from the student council and those who do not.

While their uniforms are not all recolored copies of one another’s, they are noticeably more similar with plain gold epaulets, whereas Kanae has a splash of red in her shoulder pads, similar to Utena. Notably, she is also the only BR duelist to have a black undershirt be visible beneath her coat, as if she has literally outgrown her role; her dueling outfit is much too small for her now.

My interpretation, based on Kanae Former Duelist theory, is that she is literally wearing her duelist outfit from when she was taking on Utena’s role, hence it being much lighter, similar to Utena’s own look, and not fitting quite right.
