#long story short..

One thing I should try to learn is slowing down a little. Or, pace myself a little better. It's perfectly okay that a fic isn't written from start to finish in one night. Not everything has to happen in the here and now. Take breaks. Listen and wait for that feeling to hit you in the face. Chill. Take some (or a lot of) time to read or re-read what others have written, instead. It's cool and okay to calm down a little bit. Find your zen underneath all the chaos and loud noises. Hold onto some patience and work on your craft with the same love you always do. It's a marathon, not a sprint. You'll thank your past self when you cross the finish line.

Title: Friends of Humanity: Fear Masquerading as Morality.

By Karen Page, The Bulletin

The Friends of Humanity have built their reputation on the idea that they are protecting mankind. They call themselves patriots, defenders, and advocates for “the human race.” But peel back the language and what you find is not protection, but prejudice with a mission statement.

Their latest campaign claims to “restore balance” after what they describe as the mutant “uprising.” It is remarkable how easily fear can be dressed up as civic duty. For an organization so eager to remind us of their moral superiority, they seem oddly comfortable spreading misinformation and encouraging violence.

Last month, their protests outside the Mutant Affairs Office turned into chaos. Several members of the group were arrested for assaulting a passerby who happened to have glowing eyes. That same week, the Friends of Humanity filed a civil suit against Scott Summers, a registered mutant and known member of the X-Men. They alleged that Summers “used his powers irresponsibly” during the confrontation. The footage, however, showed the group initiating the attack.

Matt Murdock represented Summers in court. The ruling favored Summers after Murdock’s closing statement pointed out what everyone else already knew: the Friends of Humanity provoked the violence they later tried to weaponize.

And now, the group’s tactics have moved from hateful to unforgivable. Two weeks ago, an explosive device was sent to Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. It detonated before it could be safely contained. One student was severely injured in the blast. The only reason that student survived was a rapid healing mutation, a detail the Friends of Humanity likely consider ironic, though the rest of us recognize it as horrifying. It was a child, not a soldier.

For an organization that insists it values law and order, the Friends have an uneasy relationship with both. Their idea of justice shifts depending on who holds the power. When mutants save lives, they call it manipulation. When their own members incite riots or send bombs to schools, they call it self-defense.

Fear is their only argument, and it is a fragile one. The Friends of Humanity thrive on division because unity makes them irrelevant. The world is changing, whether they like it or not, and the rest of us have no intention of going backward just to make bigotry feel comfortable again.

aliulla could have just been

“cold and unapproachable mysterious and tremendously knowledgeable and capable beauty that even the other guys keep calling beautiful who has a Sad Past” and he does, he does have a heartwrenching story but it doesn’t stop as “mc must love him because he’s sad, must pity him therefore romance”

.....not in the slighest, mc wants to know more about him because he is always willing to help, help everyone else too even if others might be afraid of him, it does break him that the honest truth might hurt others but that’s purely because he has vowed to never lie again, and for others to not know such pains, calling himself a sinner, a body to be used on the battlefield, alone gazing at the night sky and fleeing and refusing anyone to touch him

his backstory is of being shunned in the own village he was born in with a father to take care of him and a mother casting him away “born under evil stars” with clairvoyance too great, father tells him to never lose sight of polaris, guiding lights who will still be here for him even when all is gone, he dies of illness, another child of the village keeps coming to see him outside of it, he lies to her when she asks what her future love will be like, unknowing and unable to realize who she was in love with... fearing that she would stop visiting him, her heart breaks at the realization when....he saw the brighest future for her.................................with himself that even clairvoyance could not make him see, only hearing about her dying of the plague later somewhere else and forever living with the sin of having killed her

thanks to the player, aliulla shaking uncontrollably while hearing a young boy visits the fortune telling tent they set up saying that “my mother talked about you a lot, i wanted to meet you to tell you” now knowing peace that she lives a good life(having a family of her own) was all that mattered to him

for the player to be considered his “polaris”, having sensed them kingdoms away, while on a journey to advise kings of now fallen kingdom who would not believe his predictions...because he is unable to make himself be heard, but the hero will

[tooquicktospeak]

I'm tired of the struggle. Also tired of people who hardly hustled ever in their life for expensive things, who also end up getting whatever they want from their rich mommies and daddies. End rant.
