Just called my mother emotionally immature to her face lmao.
I’ve been doing my best to grey rock my family once they start their usual tactics, and I cannot begin to tell you how much they don’t enjoy my non-reactions to their attempts at escalation.
But there are limits.
And for someone that always says, “I’m only being honest with you” whenever you call her out for being intentionally hurtful, she sure doesn’t like honestly.
For those of you who dont get to see fireflies. Yes they are real and yes they are gentle
absolutely fucking wild to me that there’s a bug that glows. like it’s a real thing that is just Outside.
if you live somewhere where they’re a thing, maybe it’s unremarkable, but the concept is mindblowing to me lol
The wonderful thing is that even if you live where they are a thing, they’re still magical. They really are that wonderful. I promise we do appreciate them so so much!
when gerard way sings “the broken, the beaten, and the damned” and when kermit the frog sings “the lovers, the dreamers, and me” they’re talking about the same people btw
bringing my art blog back from the dead to share this because OP inspired me
experiencing adolescence in the 2010s has fucked my perspective of the word “epic” totally beyond repair. i will forever view it in the same league as words like “awesomesauce” and “legitness” im sorry. theres just no going back
THE WISE GIRL IS HERE AND SO PRETTY if I can say it. I honestly am pissed with myself (/j) because this compared to The one I did for Leo is??? Please I think I improved? This looks so pretty how did I- it was probably all piper magic, drawing piper gives you power apparently
Also let’s stop with me ranting and WHAT DO YOU THINK OF HER?
I like how it looks? Plus the Annabeth on the corner is… scary? While drawing I was imagining her just mocking the “seaweed brain” abilities to make a plan but also saying it with love because we all know that Percy might seems dumb but is pretty smart! Also what do you picture her saying in this drawing?

Anti public defender sentiment NOW of all times has GOT to be a psyop and I’m not being hyperbolic
‘You’re arguing to give rapists a lighter sentence you’re arguing for clients you know are guilty’ you are arguing for a state that can get away with whatever it wants so long as it calls someone a rapist. You are arguing that the state only needs to meet its burden of proof for innocent clients. You cannot be this stupid, I refuse to believe it.
My character commissions are open, again! This time I will be trying a slot system, mainly to get into the habit of it. There are slots that will renew monthly! So get one while you can!
Slot 1 - OPEN
Slot 2 - OPEN
Slot 3 - OPEN
Once you fill out the form below, I will contact you via email to discuss further. This will be so fun!
Want to support me but don’t have enough for a commission? You could buy me a coffee! I often work sitting at a local coffee shop, so it’s a great help :3
Rapists, and killers, too? Really? (Those on death-row?) The drug/prostitution problems are just a portion of USA criminals.
yes, all criminals. the moment you say “except X criminal” is the moment that people will try to convict their opponents as having committed X crime.
it’s the same thing as what’s going on right now with people equating drag to some sort of child exploitation. “but the children!!” they wail, and people listen because oh, if drag is harming children, then drag MUST be BAD, so we HAVE TO BAN DRAG.
do you understand what i’m saying? you can’t take away the rights of any category of criminal, because suddenly that category will be overflowing with people who totally 100% definitely committed that horrible crime.
Just to look at this from one step further back, let’s accept the premise. Let’s imagine that there is a type of crime that is 1) horrible evil irredeemable universally-agreed-upon bad, and 2) could somehow be prosecuted with 100% accuracy and 0% bias. Yes, even then, those criminals deserve a right to vote.
Do you they’re going to like vote themselves out of jail? Vote to make murder legal? What exactly are you afraid of.
Realistically they’ll just… vote just like anyone else. They’ll help elect city councilmembers they think will better their hometowns, and presidents they think will best serve the country. They might even vote in their own interests! To reform prisons, fund rehabilitation programs, and outlaw predatory practices by telecoms. Are you saying you don’t want any of those things?
And even if there were one of those super-duper-unambiguously-evil totally misanthropic death-row convicts, who’s scheduled to be execute the very next day and just wants to sow chaos and watch the outside world burn however they can… what’s the worst they could do, vote republican?
Taking people’s rights away isn’t bad because it might happen to someone you like, it’s because taking people’s rights away is bad.
do people think that convicted serial killers are going to vote to legalize serial killing
Someone will surely point out to Gandhi. I’m here to pre-empt that and say that Gandhi knew his foe and that was exercising devastating PSYCHOLOGICAL AND MORAL VIOLENCE: the various British governments morally justified their colonial control mostly through the idea they were “civilizing” the colonized countries and pointed at the Thuggee cult, the Sati (widow burning) custom, and the growing rivalry between Muslims and Hindu (that THEY exacerbated) as examples, and while they would easily react with overwhelming power to violent revolts (as they did in 1857) a peaceful political movement persistently asking for independence in the limits of the law like “civilized people” was something that undermined said justification until the British PEOPLE demanded India was given independence. It wasn’t openly violent, it was simply hitting the enemy where it couldn’t defend, and if that hadn’t worked he’d have most likely subscribed more openly violent means.
