my favorite thing about the kylo ren lightsaber pocket pussy post is how they say maybe rey fingers it or something like.. WHO DOES THAT. WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT. THESE PEOPLE DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT REAL LIFE OR HOW A PERSON WOULD RESPOND UPON FINDING SOMEBODY ELSES MASTURBATORY AID
i got ten words through this post before my surroundings started greying out
All these people commenting not knowing what this is referencing are lucky as fuck. You DON’T want to know what it is
The worst trick a childhood anxiety disorder pulls is, you spend your early years being applauded for being so much more mature than your peers, because you aren’t disruptive, you don’t want any kind of attention, you don’t express yourself, you keep yourself to yourself – this makes you a pleasure to have in class, etc etc – and you start to believe it’s virtue. But you’re actually way behind your peers in normal social development, and who knows if you can ever catch up.
Never heard a truer thing in my life.
holy shit wait you mean being just morbidly terrified of doing anything wrong ISN’T necessarily the same as being “well behaved?!”
Convenient children =/= healthy children
Convenient children do not equal healthy children
i have no doubt that rosie cottons is a hobbit stripper name. as if tolkien wrote an entire world as a vehicle for his elaborate language project and didn’t guess that naming a character ‘pink undies’ might maybe have a subtext
Your Honor, The Prince of Egypt Discord Guideline clearly states that “Antis will be kicked out”, which means my client has the right to ban anyone who criticizes her Moses/Rameses Modern AU fic.
Objection, Your Honor. The criticism was aimed towards the quality of the writing and NOT the ship itself.
Superheroes that are like “if we kill them we’re just as bad as they are uwu” ? Micro dick energy
The only exception is Aang, whose whole “I’m not gonna kill him if i can find another way” thing is less false moral equivalency and more “I’m twelve and I have been through way too much bullshit this year to add ‘commit my first murder’ to the list.”
i don’t think i see it addressed often enough that aang not willing to kill is cultural. that’s what he believed in because it’s what the air nomads believed in, that all life is inherently sacred. Not even that life is valuable, but sacred, as in it’s of central importance to air nomad spirituality. we don’t hear of the air nomads having another commandment that’s nearly as important. we hear that they don’t encourage attachment, but aang falls in love without any mention that monks aren’t meant to do that. (love and starting a family have been prohibited. which would mean aang feels okay breaking some rules, except for one he can’t allow himself to break)
aang sees killing the firelord as permanently severing the last link between himself and his culture, that taking a life will mean no longer being an air nomad. it’s tied up in both the deepest level of his identity, and his survivor’s guilt. that’s the only reason he puts it above his responsibility to save the world, and why not even the previous avatars could understand. i think aang really would have died before taking a life, because either way he saw his own death and taking a life as very nearly the same thing, as his whole culture ending forever with him. he can save the world but have to live with the guilt, and without his identity.
and that’s part of why ‘killing the bad guy makes you the bad guy’ falls flat. because aang isn’t just trying to be the Good Guy, he’s trying to be the last survivor of his culture. it’s even said as much by the gang and by every previous avatar that he’s not doing it to be good or morally superior, he’s ultimately being selfish.
