I've been thinking about this for some time now. About the Jotaro being Kenichi's or Usagi's son thing. And as much as I love to see Kenichi being appreciated by the good man he is... Guys, don't neglect Usagi like that, he also deserves to be called Jotaro's dad, and not only because of their blood bond.
First, I want to set clear that I'm with everyone else that thinks Kenichi is the real parental figure of Jotaro. He and Mariko did an excellent job raising that kid. But let's set things clear; 1. The fact that Usagi is Jotaro's father doesn't cancel all the time and experiences Jotaro had with Kenichi. Jotaro has 6-7 years of memories in which he had a good man taking care of him; they love each other and I don't think that would ever change.
2. The circumstances. If Usagi wasn't there to see Jotaro grow and be part of his life, was because Mariko chose not to. A valid choice being the mother of the child, but that left Usagi and Jotaro in ignorance of their relationship for years. And when Jotaro discovered who his biological father was, he just had the understandable wish to get to know him, and be with him. Not because Kenichi wasn't a good dad, but because he is on his right. The right to meet this man that he could have called father.
And 3. Usagi, who also was denied the chance to meet his son and wants to spend time with him too, is also exercising his right as a parent to spend time with his child. And if them both, Usagi and Jotaro, wish to build their relationship from scratch and finally be there for each other, I mean--we have to recognize it and let them have it!!
And that does not mean his kid will be taken away from Kenichi. By all means, he will always be a part of Jotaro. In everything he does, no matter the situation he is in, Jotaro will always carry the teachings of Kenichi fondly in his heart.
But then again, Usagi, even if he in the present time is not "worthy" of being called Jotaro's father properly, the important thing is that he wants to earn that title, and he is willing to do everything he can to be there. They have an entire lifetime ahead to make their bond stronger.
This is not a matter of who did or will do more for Jotaro, who left a bigger mark or who will he look up to when he grows up. It's that both men love this kid, both will be a part of him, and both will protect him at all costs. So I say we call them both Jotaro's Dads and no more "the dad who stepped up" or "the dad who's left out" because, I don't know you, but that makes it sound like a Jim Hawkins (Treasure planet) kind of trope and doesn't make justice to the beautiful construction of a relationship this three actually have.
Tumblr media
None of them are bad for what they are doing, nor Kenichi nor Usagi are the villains of each other's story. In the end, we all know it's Mariko's fault, ok no x'd lol. They just do what they can.

The most frustrating part of engaging in any of this discourse with pro-Israel people is that they claim there's just something ineffable about "seeing and understanding" how supporting Palestinian liberation is directly calling for the eradication of Jewish people (as if that type of rhetoric isn't exactly how actual antisemitism often manifests in online spaces but that's a topic for another day)
They get through people debunking the "the land belongs to the people of Israel anyway" argument and the "LGBTQ Palestinians are safe in Israel" argument and the "Genocide isn't what's happening here so you should educate yourself" argument and when all of those points are meticulously disproven over and over they still stand with "Well, myself and your Jewish friends see the hate you have in your heart for us" and it truly doesn't matter what you say at that point because even if you yourself are Jewish they will claim that refusing to support the state, government and military of Israel is inherently hateful and bigoted, as if a religious ethnostate is some inherent human right that is being taken away from them. I know many of them are blinded by the relentless propaganda that's been around their whole lives and how hard it is to break free from a belief system that is so tied to your core identity as a human being but it is so frustrating watching people being led straight to the point over and over again and just turning around and refusing to see it.
It's also so frustrating to see people using the momentum of this movement to casually tack on actual antisemitism to these discussions, as if having Jewish people in positions of power is why the US bends over backwards to excuse the actions of Israel and not, yknow, the fact that our government directly benefits from having a military stronghold in the middle east. I've talked to some well-meaning pro-Palestine friends irl who casually use antisemetic talking points because they've ALSO bought into the narrative that Israeli = Jewish and so they blame the actions of Israel and the IDF on Jewish people's "religious values" and ignore the fact that this conflict really has almost nothing to do with religion itself and everything to do with capitalism, imperialism and maintaining the US's status as a so-called "global power".
#dont get me wrong there are lots of people on the pro palestine side who are very much aware of and vigilant against antisemitic rhetoric#but i genuinely worry about some of my non-jewish leftist friends and allies falling down some super shady pipelines because of all of this#i spend a lot of my time on my public facing social media sharing articles and graphics and whatnot about antisemitism#and how careful we need to be when calling out these atrocities and our government's complicity in them#but when one side is genuinely claiming with no evidence or argument that being against colonial occupation is just antisemitism#it makes it so hard to call out actual antisemitism within these spaces bc it delegitimizes antisemitism as a concern#i just want to scream#like. im not even jewish and i vividly remember when we had a special lesson in girl scouts about how wonderful Israel is#and they had us make little mini versions of the israel flag and they told us that israel stood for the safety of the jewish people#and i came home and i told my mom about how cool israel was#and she promptly pulled me out of girl scouts#which at the time felt unfair because she didnt explain why#but also how do you explain the horrors of colonialism and imperialism to your newly zionist 10 year old#anyway the point is that if i as a non-jewish girl scout was exposed to that kind of propaganda#i can only imagine how inescapable it must be for many american jews in the US#and i truly empathize with the amount of unlearning that needs to be done#and how hard it must be to let go of some of these ideas#but that doesnt make it any less frustrating to watch these dynamics play out on such a massive scale#and i hold so much respect for people in white jewish communities re-educating themselves and standing on the right side of history#as well as for all of the people of color and especially American Palestinians standing up and using their voices as much as they do#personal

something I think is actually hilarious is that if you go left enough you start having more stances in common with (individual) conservatives, and if you go right enough you start agreeing with (individual) leftists. like i have a pretty close friend who's self described as "just far enough right that I hate politicians" , whom I hard disagree with his overarching political stances. but the finer details of it... yeah we agree with each other. gun control/gun rights opinions taxation opinions pro-small government opinions slight separatist opinions anti two party opinions anti-corporation opinion ect ect ect.
we stand on opposite sides of a standard political compass but I genuinely think if I were to count stats, I'd agree with as many of his stances as I would a liberals/democrats stances. my hs gov teacher described the difference in right vs left to us as "everyone's goal here is the betterment of mankind, they just think the best ways to do it are different" and that's literally the best way, to me, to describe what the difference in right vs left is regarding anarchism specifically. we got ESSENTIALLY the same opinion but the ways we think are the best ways to go about enacting said opinion are what makes us different. and something abt that is really painfully funny to me. envisioning a world where an-something is the major world thing, not capitalism.... and there's STILL right vs left... but The Anarchist Versions. christ.
sorry for the book i wrote in the tags. ignore typos I am NOT retyping any of that to fix them xoxo
#this is a controversial post to post here ik. however i think can we all agree that echo chambers and bubbles aren't... good.#and i think something that gets forgotten a lot by leftists is that there ARE anarchists on the right#yes we are EXTREMELY different but its important to like. remember that should The revolution come in our lifetimes their still gonna exist#and political disagreement on an individual scale CAN and SHOULD be civil so long as neither party is coming from a bigoted stance.#as in.. no i dont agree with a good chuck of what his stances but by disagree i just think hes wrong abt economics bros not like. a bigot.#in this same vain i also think (myself included) people shouldn't conflate conservativism with racists and homophobes. t#theres proud gay conservatives and conservatives who are poc... erasing those people means we cannot know of how the other side works.#i genuinely believe that if i were to go read every political theory book on right leaning politics id fine something uniquely republican#/right/whatever that i would agree with and then adapt into my own politics. im sure at least one of the unique-to-the-right stances has#actually standing and isn't a load of shit (again probably something economic rather than social).#and thats not a bad thing and if you think it is a actually don't know how to explain it to you! we MUST critically but civilly interact#with political opinions mirroring our own to 1 understand other people 2 fully understand and develope our own stances and why we have em#i genuinely find political conversations with that friend extremely enlightening even if we both walk away still set in unchanged opinions.#because it means i understand WHY others drift to those options but more importantly why /i/ drifted to my own

✨Jacen & Tenel Ka - Illicit Affairs {Jacen's POV}✨
Jacen laughed a joyless, bitter laugh.
She should have been his. It was a wild, possessive thought, but in his heart he knew that it was true. There wasn't a being in the entire galaxy that knew her like he did. She had laughed with him - this rare, beautiful laugh - and he had been the only one she had ever allowed to see her tears. They had been made for each other in such a way that Jacen had started to believe the Force itself had intertwined their fates.
So how was it possible that soon she would belong to someone else...?
Set directly after the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Tenel Ka visits Coruscant on an important diplomatic mission. Jacen thinks the time is right to finally tell her how he feels, but the Queen Mother comes bearing news that will once more pull the rug from under the young jedi.
(I'm sure I'll be back on my regular OC bs soon enough, but I am chasing the dopamin wherever it takes me. And rn that is my early 2000s Star Wars novel OTP <3)

It's probably an unpopular opinion, but my takes on the reason why Superman doesn't like Conner Kent(Superboy) is not on the aspect of cloning but more of Lex Luthor.
Of course there are also a factor about how Luthor actually get Superman DNA without his knowledge, enough to event experiments with cloning, but then again it led to Luthor problem.
Imagine the surprise and shock when you get the news that you have surprise family (an unknown brother/son), made by your nemesis hell bent on you being death, with SAID nemesis DNA being mixed into the creation.
While his reaction are a bit letdown, it's also understandable that Superman actually wary.
I mean, DC Universe kinda weird in that aspects. What if Kon actually can be mind control at Luthor behest? What if everything Kon knows actually made it to Luthor?
And yes, Superman should do better than what he does but I just let the reader judge that. You know, thousands hamlet and all

So tired of being told oh so seriously and emotionally and prolongedly to keep doing what I’m literally always doing (eldest daughter-ing)
#love my grandmother but she’s so dramatic and I want this obnoxious house free of guests again already. I know how evil that is#cant stand the wavery teary voices even when sincere cant stand averting my gaze to signal ‘I’m done w this convo even if I keep murmuring#ji has ok yes etc’ all demure only to be told ‘look at me’ srsly just shut up everyone !!#take care of ur mother and siblings. I am I do I never ever need cues no matter how many insinuations I face that I am deficient as a#daughter and sister and woman just. enough already.#don’t ever let ur mother be sad go straight to her when she looks so no matter what life is going to go on w/o ur dad…. I know.#abt the last thing. I literally know? and for the first few things sorry but she has to be sad sometimes I comfort but I don’t tell her stop#that completely and immediately bc lmaoooo. nor are we the coolness of each other’s eyes the way that would be ideal. I can not charm her#out of grief nor would she want me to not would anyone in the family myself included want that for themselves. we are Handling we’ve been#Handling I need everyone else to stay tf out of it they’re so… BEHIND. they weren’t here in the insanely cruelly slow lead up to this death#while we were. and again. why is it always take care of ur mother hardly ever take care of urself and never keep going for ur OWN future.#I hate ppl and must again rely on myself and only myself for motivation bc guilt and sentiment and delusion that anyone else is invested#does not work! it’s all just so frustrating. we don’t need to bring up he’s dead everyday or that he died w respect and not everyone does.#it’s repeated sm it’s like nothing now. cheapens it. shut up#mine#when do I ever slack comforting or helping when do I get any in return#also the farther we get from it the more I will HAVE to slack. or else I’m slacking on the life everyone keeps pointing out so obnoxiously#that I am still forced to live still shackled to etc. so which is it that they want. robot daughter or person#to a decent degree even my mother understands all this it’s everybody else I hear shit from. I just want silence! and nobody will give it#if ur going to coach me at least look at the state I’m in first instead of acting like I’m 4 yrs old. if anyone used their eyes they would#know there’s no need to say any of this shit to me. and that goes for so much of the supposed comfort I’ve been offered. everyone talks and#everyone is USELESS. shamelessly so. it’s crazy.

Gonna be a hater for a second but whyyy do people say phoenix and edgeworth have been in love since they were 9. Who the fuck falls in love at 9 years old. Also does iris mean nothing to you. Yeah they’ve been pining since forever but can’t that be since aa1 or something instead of just, since they were children because I guess that’s when they met. If the reasoning is “but why would phoenix become a lawyer for edgeworth if he wasn’t in love !!!” I don’t wanna hear it I hate “no one would do that for a friend” reasoning
#we all make gay jokes about becoming a lawyer for him me included#and like. yes#but also what it shows most importantly is their connection#and how important being there for people is for phoenix#phoenix didn’t literally Only become a lawyer to chase edgeworth#he says himself he was inspired by edgeworth to stand up for others#and that he wanted to be the person who’s there for people who have no one on their side#like edgeworth was for him#he genuinely finds a calling to law !#mia probably inspired him too#point is. there’s a lot to say about phoenix choosing to become a lawyer#and like yes it definitely shows how strong his bond and connection are with edgeworth#but idk. to me it feels like it’s really simplifying it to say “so that’s why they’re in love 👍 and so they must’ve been in love as kids”#but also I’ll say it again. who the fuck falls in love at 9#also sorry it’s the iris enjoyer in me but why must we act like she meant nothing to phoenix#she clearly did when he was feenie#and even in aa3. it was visible#literally in the credits when they’re visiting her in prison he had his eyes glued on her#and he always believed in her#this post isn’t saying boooo narumitsu yay feenris not at all#i agree phoenix and edgeworth are in love how could I not#but sometimes I get annoyed by popular… notions ? tropes ?#that I feel ignore the actual characterisation and writing to make it gayer#you don’t need to make it gayer ! it’s already gay as shit !#like there’s lots of content there man you don’t need to flanderise them#and to run over female characters cough iris#i wrote this very spontaneously hopefully it’s not nonsense#but I’m not tagging this I don’t want to bother ppl with my hatering#general my post tag
