Bit telling that for years and years evangelical religious extremists have been allowed on university campuses with their bullhorns and horrific imagery where they harass students into physical altercations and when students complain to the university’s administration they just shrug their shoulders citing freedom of speech but when those same tuition-paying students start protesting against war and genocide they call SWAT

I think Junior Year has fully cemented Adaine as my favorite of the Bad Kids. Like I adore them all but Adaine’s unique combination of being a hypercompetent prodigy, a traumatized neurodivergent child forced to grow up far too quickly, and an incredibly morally principled and insightful person, all while also being a vicious, hateful little bastard is just so good.

actual criticisms of academia:

cost of education acting as class barrier

exploitation of graduate workers

colonialist past and present

ties to military industrial complex

danger of power structure entrenching and justifying orthodox views on social issues

criticisms of academia that get made:

those damn ivory tower academics are wasting money learning about things

Doofenshmirtz is kind of proof that you can, in fact, make one of the funniest characters out there by throwing shit at the wall.

He’s a supervillain, he’s amicably divorced, he was raised by ocelots, his evil ambitions only stretch as far as taking over the tri-state area, he’s in a romantically-coded/joked about rivalry with a sentient platypus, he’s a good dad, he once lost a fight with a potted plant, he was forced to be a lawn gnome. But most importantly, he never gives up.

The thing about musical theater is that the silliest show you’ve ever heard of WILL have a song that just changes your brain chemistry no matter how pissed you are about that.

Knuckle tats that say Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate.

Every time I remember that Pyrrha has never seen Palamedes’s face I suddenly want to jump into a trash compactor.

what I’m saying is somebody write a rat grinders fanfic from sophomore year where the gang is helping a lil town on the edge of solace with a monster problem and fixing it up and Kipperlilly can’t stop tuning into the Bad Kids live-streaming their fight with the Nightmare King out of jealousy

#legally neurotypical and once...kind of #technically i was removed by my parents #because the principal wanted to send me to idaho and/or catholic school to cure my disobedience #also tried to diagnose me with various things i do not have #so we tripped the light fantastic

can't stop thinking about how the "convinced to return for one last job" trope is a kind of resurrection. digging up a restless corpse that maybe should have stayed buried.

okay americans i gotta ask because as an European i grew up with lots of american shows and cartoons and in a lot of them there was an episode where they give the protags a doll or an egg or a bag of flour or whatever and told them pretend to be its parents or something

#yes it's a thing #no it didn't happen at my school #instead they showed us a doctor phil episode to try and convince us we didn't have free will
