I LIKE HOW EVER MEMBER OF THE GMO HAS SOMEONE AS THERE DUO PARTNER
But then there's Akashi who has his duo in himself
I used to call in to my local radio station every day in middle school and request that they play the Kingdom Hearts theme and they never did because I didn’t understand how the radio worked back then but one day, one fucking day the radio host was like “for the kid who keeps requesting this song for two years straight, here you go, oh and by the way we’re blocking your number” and they fucking played it and beating the system was worth never being able to request a song ever again
“For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, ‘While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.’” (Lk. 18:4-5)
you have to understand:

When absolutely 0 of Biden’s accomplishments have made any kind of news, and we’ve been fed a steady diet of fear and panic for 3 years, no one gets to be shocked when he loses the next election to Donald 2.0.
Posting anything positive about the president here will get you called a capitalist bootlicker.
What do we expect to happen?
Anger sells better. Anger feels better, it feels righteous.
It’s easier to protest against a president you don’t like then to actually remain in charge and keep pushing ahead, even if small, consistent accomplishments are all you receive.
I know I’ll never be missing an election in my life again (barring some kind of major medical event).
I just wish it weren’t so damn frustrating, feeling like you’re screaming into the void constantly, fighting against apathy.
CMS just announced that the government will start taking high-cost drugs that were developed with taxpayer dollars and start pulling patents to force competition and low cost generics. That’s fucking momentous.
I saw 1 news article on it. I wouldn’t have known it happened if I didn’t read the news every day. This should have caused the kind of celebration that erupted when companies started announcing $35 insulin caps. Why didn’t it?
Low cost hearing aids, lower and $0 student loans, concrete investments in green architecture…there was an announcement like 2 days ago to replace all leaded pipes out of US cities over the next 10 years, which will be an absolute boon in jobs for construction workers and can make our homes safer for kids. I’m sure I’ll see a headline in a year, “Biden’s lead pipe program causes drivers traffic headaches.”
Republicans want 20 foot concrete barriers topped with barbed wire across the entire southern border, and Democrats want amnesty and ease to citizenship for just about anyone who crosses, and it really seems like until a compromise is made somewhere in there, Republicans will continue to turn out in massive numbers to elections because God told them to, and Democrats will continue to stay home because the last president didn’t accomplish 100% of their goals and voting for an imperfect president is a personal and ethical failing.
Now take that mentality and spread it over every single social and economic issue.
I remember how utterly scared and angry we were sone years ago when Trump was trying to bankrupt the USPS. People were talking about it left right and sideways, asking people to buy from the USPS gift shop, start a stamp collection, anything. Then, Biden got elected and put a huge stop to that by getting rid of the unfair laws that only the USPS had to abide by. Overnight, the USPS was saved, and how did everyone react?
They didn't. It was hardly mentioned. Not a blip.
Same exact thing when it came to net neutrality!! It was DEVASTATING when it was killed. People died in wildfires because Internet providers throttled data of firefighters. Xfinity actually stole identities in order to make it happen.
About a month ago, BAM, it was restored because Biden appointed a Democratic leader to the FFC. Did anyone talk about it? Nope. I saw ONE post.
okay, so as much as I think that Biden was the least shitty of two garbage presidential candidates, and as much as I disagree with some of the things he’s done… …I have to admit that the Biden-Harris administration has done more for the average American’s life than any other I can remember in the last 20-30 years. even with a congress made up of majority spoiled toddlers who would rather kill a man than vote “yes” to save a hundred thousand, they have:
changed the Medicare enrollment periods for elderly and disabled individuals, so that they don’t have to literally enroll in the designated period for enrollment and then STILL WAIT for 2, 3, 4, 5, or even SIX months for their healthcare to start
along the Medicare line, they have added special enrollments for: people who just got released from jail, who lost their low-income healthcare through Medicaid, had a medical emergency or natural disaster that made them miss enrollment, didn’t enroll because they were lied to by their employers, etc
they CAPPED THE COST OF INSULIN to $35/MONTH FOR MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES!!!!! and they are working to get it capped to that for all Americans!!! (but of course, Republicans are fighting it)
Biden pardoned all prior federal offenses for simple possession of marijuana and started the review process to get weed rescheduled federally
provided hundreds of billions nationally in funding for the repair of roads/bridges/highways, expanding high-speed internet access, improving public transportation, adding electric vehicle charging, adding clean energy sources, removing pollution still leaking into communities from industrial manufacturing from DECADES ago, and REMOVAL OF LEAD PIPES not just on state land but on TRIBAL land and TERRITORIES!
cracked down on the (frankly, abusive) overdraft fees from banks - to the point that many banks have removed the fees outright rather than deal with an investigation from the federal government over them - and the last minute surprise fees from hotels/concert venues/etc.
They are working to change Social Security taxation so that those making above $400,000/yr actually have to fucking CONTRIBUTE - because, if you didn’t know, currently Social Security taxes cap out at $160,000. Yes, meaning that those who are MOST ABLE TO AFFORD paying more taxes, and who would contribute MORE in taxes, are paying pennies (if anything).
Also, to increase the minimum SSA benefit from just a cut-and-dry figure that has to be manually increased (and is therefore subject to NOT getting increased), to a scaling percentage of 125% above the poverty line
Also, also, to increase benefits for surviving spouses who abruptly lose 50%+ of their income when a spouse dies, then are shit out of luck for paying for homes/vehicles/etc
Not only that but:
as many people who were vocally against it, they also made covid vaccines widely available and FREE for everyone during the pandemic
provided massive student loan debt relief
ENACTED A MINIMUM 15% CORPORATE TAX on large companies, who otherwise tend to skirt taxes with legally-gray methods
Rejoined the Paris Agreement - literally can’t believe I even have to say that
are providing relief to veterans exposed to burn pits
reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act and added protections for LGBTQ+ individuals and non-women victims, changed it so it now allows tribes to now hold non-native aggressors liable under tribal justice systems, and improved long and short term housing for victims (as well as increased emergency housing access)
I’m not going to say I agree with every action taken under the Biden-Harris admin (lol, looking at you specifically, IRS), but. These things change people’s lives. Not just a little - they are the difference between literally dying a slow death from lack of medication and living happily. Between getting heart surgery and NOT getting heart surgery, because you don’t have health insurance, because you just got out of prison for having one (1) molecule of weed stuck to your sleeve during a traffic stop. Election season is already starting, so if you have to remember one thing, remember this:
Adding to this list, the Biden-Harris administration has also:
Changed the Extra Help with Medicare Prescription Drug program, so that EVERYONE on Medicare who is under 150% of the federal poverty level can qualify for zero monthly premiums, zero deductibles, and capped prescription costs at $4.50 generic/$11.40 name-brand.
Provided $3.5 million in grants to expand internet coverage on and to tribal lands.
And $728 million to provide clean, sustainable drinking water to rural and tribal communities and support water and river conservation in the Colorado river basin.
Provided funding for the expansion of Medicaid, meaning that now 40 states offer a year’s worth of health coverage after birth, so postpartum complications can be, y'know… treated without putting you into massive medical debt.
Demanded an additional year of coverage for children’s healthcare under CHIP, via the CAA of 2023, with a hopeful continuation even further under section 1115.
Invested $265 million across 16 states for natural disaster preparation and recovery, including streambank stabilization, flood prevention and watershed restoration projects.
And honestly, this administration has done so much more that I don’t have time to list - with wide-ranging effects that won’t be fully felt for another few years, but are MONUMENTAL for our country, our healthcare, our environment, our jobs, and our futures.
Please don’t allow shills and bots to convince you that voting doesn’t matter or that your vote is inconsequential.
Please register and vote in 2024.

GOOD OMENS | 2.03 I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING
And that was the last I was to see of Crowley for quite some time.
DAVID TENNANT as Crowley + one gif per episode GOOD OMENS 2 (2023).
I get that the bookshop fire was traumatic for Crowley because he thought he lost Aziraphale.
I keep seeing people say they want Aziraphale to know what it would feel like to lose Crowley, but I'm pretty sure my eyes weren't the only ones open when this happened...
Right?
"And that was the last I was to see of Crowley for some time."
Aziraphale has lost Crowley. To Hell.
He could do nothing to stop what happened in Edinburgh, and I can't imagine that he didn't fear he'd lost Crowley for good here.
Aziraphale has experienced more heartbreak than some fans care to even acknowledge. He exists in constant fear of losing Crowley to Hell again. AGAIN.
We saw Aziraphale save Crowley from Hell in 1941 with the human magic trick he used on Furfur.
Aziraphale was the one sitting in the bathtub of holy water after the Notpocalypse, knowing this was the reason he'd been so scared to hand Crowley his own thermos of holy water in the first place.
He's lost Crowley to Hell before and he will do anything to prevent it from happening again.
That's the impact Edinburgh had on Aziraphale. This is the impact that losing Crowley had on Aziraphale.
it feels very much like a case of people only recognizing trauma when it's loud and in their face.
crowley screaming and crying when the bookshop burned, and him getting very intense with Jim about what happened in Heaven is obviously a sign of fear and trauma. it's obvious that crowley is scared shitless about the thought of losing aziraphale
but aziraphale doesn't scream and cry. no, instead he has a look of absolute terror wash over his face. instead he is incredibly reluctant to give crowley holy water because he knows what it can do. instead he risks doing a human magic trick to save crowley, and then takes him back to the one place Hell can't access.
trauma and fear aren't always loud and on your face. sometimes it's quiet, sometimes people are really fucking good at masking it. but that doesn't make it any less real.

personally if i was deeply in love with a guy and managed to get with half of his family but not him despite our intense sexual chemistry i’d throw a fit and murder him too
People criticizing Saltburn are so boring. Live a little man. You can write dissertations about the glitter girl feminism in Barbie and how Mike Flanagan is revolutionizing horror with his weepies but draw the line at a campy gothic Secret History AU with a devious fujoshi perspective that dares to ask the age-old question of what would happen if Richard Papen was actually allowed to act out his inner impulses. Like I see people making hour long video essays about how it failed the Eat The Rich concept meanwhile Emerald Fennell is reaching yaoibait depths you cannot begin to fathom.
I know that's right girl!
Yes yes tropes are just common elements of stories that's how it works but when they get tired and overdone they're *cliche*. Which is what we should really be calling it when criticizing the homogeneous fanonized slop that forgets the characters' interesting parts in favor of, like, doing a coffee shop slowburn again or whatever
Tropes and archetypes are bones for your story. Those are normal to have and certain structures appeal for a reason. But if you don't add anything to the formula it's extremely fucking boring. In the case of fanfiction, you're often actively taking away complexity that made the original interesting ‼ GRAAHHHH
I actually love recognizable story structures, personally. I love recognizing formulas it's fun for me. The hero, the villain, the mentor. The leader, the brains, the muscle. The detective & the rookie. And so on and so forth and all the associated story beats. It's great! But they have to have personality traits outside of the role they play! & it's my god given right to complain about it when they don't
every so often i will come across a macklemore lyric that just… catches me so fucking off guard
throw back to this absolute gem. first lyric of the song.
