#and it's not your job to save everyone

[kitkatwinchester]

F*CK

Well...

I see Scott accidentally chose the nightmare option with his dream state...

I hate it.

I hate that his brain is trying to make him go against his own nature and convince him to start killing people, and I hate that it's using Liam and repeatedly killing him to do it. But the biggest reason I hate it is because of my poor baby's guilt complex. All of those people are already dead, and while Scott wasn't directly involved in killing any of them, you can tell, based on the fact that his brain is doing this, that there's a part of him that feels like he should've done something about it.

And that is soooo not fair to yourself, Scott. Deaton and Chris tried to tell you. You CAN'T save everyone. You CAN'T. A lot of these people are writing their own fates by default of the choices they make--Peter killed The Mute, yes, mostly out of anger, but also to protect Derek and Noah. Rafael killed The Chemist in order to save Stiles. The closest deaths to you were those of The Orphans, and even those WEREN'T YOUR FAULT, because their actions put them in the crossfire, and THAT'S what got them killed.

I get it, Scott. I do. And you know I love that about you. But you GOTTA stop blaming yourself (also very quick aside, Scott having more fangs is an interesting revelation...).

But the other thing is...I'm also kind of glad he's thinking about it at all. Because as much as I love Scott and his savior complex...Liam does have a point. Just like his dad said, sometimes killing is your only option. If it's them or you, are you really going to let them kill you just so that you don't have to kill them? Are you going to let them kill someone in your pack? His loyalty and love for his friends and family makes me find it hard to believe that he'd ever let somebody hurt them, but I don't necessarily trust him to protect himself...and that's a scary thought.

So yeah, I hate the way his brain is doing it. I hate it with every fiber of my being. I hate that Scott is sitting there torturing himself and beating himself up. But I'm also kind of hoping he gains something from it, and I'm hoping that maybe this nightmarish dream state will give him a chance to work through that guilt and learn that sometimes, it really is you or them...

But still...poor baby. :(

Anyways.

I want to hate the interactions between Malia and Peter, because I REALLY want to hate Peter, ESPECIALLY when I can see his manipulation from a mile away, but....I don't. I REALLY don't. God there's just something about him...I can't truly hate him. I can't. He's too funny, and too charming, and too smart, and just overall too fun for me to hate him.

I don't trust him IN the slightest, but...I also don't hate him. And I'm hoping Malia has a similar frame of mind about him.

Back to the hospital, that Stiles, Kira, and Liam interaction was ADORABLE and I love them. XD <3

"Okay and you're both coming right back. Immediately. *shakes head* Kids."

STILES YOU ARE THE SAME AGE! Sure, Liam is a freshmen, but Kira is YOUR AGE SIR! YOU ARE EQUALS! XD XD

But, admittedly, he and Scott are 100% the parents of the pack, so...ya know. There is that. XD <3

All of that said, I am absolutely freaking terrified at the prospect of Kira and Liam having to face one of those freaking Berserker things ALONE, but it's FINE.

This is where a million things start to go wrong, I just know it....

ANYWAYS.

Happy gif to make me feel better. XD

(STILES YOU ARE SUCH A PARENT I CANNOT! XD <3)

Update: THE WAY STILES SO DRASTICALLY FLINCHED WHEN ARGENT ACCIDENTALLY PULLED HIS GUN ON HIM I HATE IT!! AS IF THIS KID NEEDED ANY MORE TRAUMA FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

Update Part II: LET'S F*CKING GO! Dude that Derek and Braeden scene was AMAZING, and the set-up was BEAUTIFUL, and I could not have asked for anything better OMG. The chemistry, the sass, the electricity, the attitude, the LINES, the MOVEMENTS, the MAKE-OUT SESH! Yeah that was awesome. 10/10 approve. I'm adding a gif because I loved it so much and didn't feel like making a whole new post.

(I soooo hope we get more of them. I love them already. <3)

happy autumn 🍁 i am a powerful asset and i will treat myself as such, Knowing what i deserve, accepting what i can gather for myself using my own abilities and working cleverly around my disabilities. not a burden, not unskilled, not tolerating low pay over my own health, not accepting or bending to any threat of dismissal over the simple circumstances of my life. charm against being stepped on, charm against those who would walk all over me. fall 🍂

#text #art #pen doodle #sketch #disability posting #epilepsy #I'm okay I'm being shown really amazing opportunities that save me from a path of reliance on those who lack their own skills/self reliance #being punished for making you do your job ?? you would punish me for making you actually come in to work your salaried job??? #EVERYONE HERE IS LIKE THIS SAVE FOR 2-3 OF THEM #they get a safe guaranteed pay and then stop showing up and get MAD when they have to FULFILL A DUTY #gonna go back to streaming and I'm gonna cry from how much i missed doing it. #literally already excited

once again sorry to everyone for bringing this to your dashboards. but some of you are like, genuinely delirious. not even in a funny way. & i hope you die. i hope we both die. hand in unlovable hand etc etc

#Just so fucking bizarre to me how people can be Like This. there has to be something so wrong with your brain on a fundamental level #i can’t even laugh about this or anything because i genuinely feel pity for these people. it’s so sad to me how you’re gonna be like 20 #and then go in a niche tumblr community and create drama over Nothing. over Thin Fucking Air #like do you not have a life? do you not have college? or a job? doesn’t it get tiring? don’t you ever feel ashamed about all this #and the fact that they go and complain about the shipping and the ���fandombrained’ people as well…. oh my god #how are you going to be TWENTY. and DO THAT. are you seriously sick. ? do you need help #just say you are homophobic and that you hate kids and go. it’ll save everyone a bunch of time for sure #anyways. as someone who has been a rain world fan since 2018. i love you embracing canon. i love you changing canon. i love you disregarding #canon entirely. i love you ships that make sense in canon & that make absolutely zero sense at all. i love you fancharacters that don’t #follow canon rules. i love you ‘cringe’ fancharacters and self inserts. i love you self shipping. i love you oc x canon shipping. #and i love you taking inspiration from designs. i love you community & i love you artists & i love you art #i love you borrowing elements and being inspired and referencing something because you liked it. #are fandoms perfect? GOOD GOD no. is every Fan perfect? no. am i also sometimes annoyed or irrationally pissed off over a ship that #i think is stupid and is illogical. Yes! i’m only human! but i can still love and appreciate the whole CREATIVITY of it all. and the whole #Fun that people are having. i love you having fun. if i don’t like it or if anyone else doesn’t like it they can just Cope #instead of hateposting about it on main and indirectly bullying people who are most likely children. or lgbt. or both #anyways. please continue doing whatever you want. The world is your oyster and you only live on earth once #everyone else can fuck off

I should not be this chronically exhausted both physically and mentally at this age.

#today I have been put thru the ringer and I am not ok #I’m tired of everyone and their momma istg #I wanna cry but also have no right to cry #I’m venting now in the tags just ignore me please #but FUCK #when do I get a break with this shit show I call my life #have no money yet whenever I’m sad I spend my savings to make me feel better #I hate my job and wanna call out but also know I can’t because it’ll reflect my rent check #Cali is too expensive and health insurance is a joke #kinda wanna sell all my funkos now because I’m over my bad spending habits #wanna go to school but that costs money #kinda wanna get a one way plane ticket and not tell anyone #and then there’s my mom crying her heart out because of her pos husband who wants to say mean vile things to her #hearing your mom cry is not a good feeling

basically without exception there are 2 kinds of people in hisui in pla. there are the ones who go "hmm you're so strange and suspicious here do this dangerous task that i'm too scared/weak/lazy/whatever to do and MAYBE i'll start to trust you" and then there are the ones who go "wow you're so talented and cool and good at things here surely you'll be able to do this dangerous task for me won't you? since you're so helpful and all?" and that's why protagonist just never catches a fucking break

#the nemesis speaks #ok i lied there are a couple exceptions #cyllene is giving you tasks not bc you are suspicious or very talented but just bc you like. work for her. #and you still gotta rank up and prove your strength like everyone else before you go run off and do even more dangerous stuff #no free passes for being a hero so you can go get your legs broken faster. #another is. hilariously. arguably melli i think. because there is no task on sinnoh's earth that could save you from his judgement #and then of course there is mvp ingo who dgaf what your reputation is he's got a job to do he's gonna fucking do it. #actually there's probably a different post to be made here abt how ingo uniquely views the protagonist not as a Special Other #but just as like. a kid. who happens to be strong and fun to battle with yeah #but still. they're just another traveler that he's responsible for guiding through the region. #idk thinkin abt him. #pla analysis #i guess

My coworkers do their fucking job challenge (they fail)

#i understand wanting to stand around and yap instead of picking orders BUT #when theres SEVERAL batches you cant move at a snails pace and make everyone else have to jump in and save your ass #like HELLO i also have my own job yo do and here i am. doing yours #dont get me wrong I am the King of Dicking Around but the difference is I get my job done in the first couple hours #then i have the rest of the night to do anything BUT my job #and doing THEIR job is getting in the way of me NOT doing MY job #mine #tales from target

The Billions Showrunners Go To See Bway Bmc like lgw "the problem has always been me" and they look at each other approvingly and nod like now he's getting it :) and then the squip's deactivated and everyone's embracing the realities of being a person and rejecting the idea there can be, should be, and is a set of standards to meet to get everything you want and preclude yourself from being mistreated and they're like nooo what a powerful tragedy :(

#then the nyt critic listens in on their conversation like Jot That Down Jot That Down ''jeremy deserved to stay In Crisis & bullied'' #it'll be a lingering irritation with billions just like w/any other work that is supposed to earnestly engage w/anything But Then #is ultimately / reverts to being about Vibes instead when it was in fact not meant to be a work ultimately about vibes #like good news i in turn earnestly engaged with your work. that's why it's on sight #winston billions #bmc #was gonna say obviously don't know if anyone from billions went to bmc but No....daniel k isaac confirmedly did lol iconique #can't fathom the thoughts the showrunners would really have lmao #just like i have to assume their thoughts abt will as jared was the typical/superficial ''wow guy we find bothersome rude & undeserving!'' #maybe it wasn't maybe it wasn't....but they did only give him a would've been one time bit part whose job was to be so rude & undeserving #like jk save for tossing in an inadvertent? misgendering of taylor for good measure quant kid 2 was wholly in the right #having him be an object to be crumpled up & thrown into the trash was Their intended bookend. but really it's that wags should die #and that winnie n tay was everything. the way quant kid 2 wasn't meant to be a character in 3x03 #winston was barely handled as a preexisting character in 7x03 besides the [object to be crushed] & [computers?] angles #Except the flickers of specific interaction w/taylor; totaling like 3s overall fr; were what was most like ''yeah he's someone specific'' #anyway again ''you were purporting to make something about anything but ran over that w/your Vibes Based approach in the end'' annoyance #couldn't lose in s4....yearning to be able to film winston more; which would've been him being [winston: __ everyone: get his ass] #but b/c he wasn't very available winston is presumed locked in a supply closet somewhere not invited to meetings or gatherings. works too #k&l surprised at ppl not picking up on an intended Literal Death Exception to think not Everything the main epic winner does is epic win #like well yeah sure but your show was then in fact about how all that really matters in the end was being in the superior Winner class #whereupon it's then not about your actions & their consequences so much as it's about your feelings & intentions #and it's not so much about That (relevant specifics expire 6 eps later or by the end of the season) as it is abt being that Winner #then thinking losers Could get organic aba (abuse forcing compliance) like well yeah of course! #the classic excuse about a hypothetical Conversion into winnerdom/correctness to uno reverse blame/responsibility #anyways like i said it's on sight; a testiment to that attentive & earnest enough engagement w/your work out here lmao #everything Else abt billions making it more & more incredible they had Taylor in the midst of it all #but by in fact going ''this character is supposed to Contrast w/usual 'winner' traits'' you Do disrupt that Vibes Based approach #and ofc can't consider some kind of ''oh nooo they've become fr thee Typical winner'' b/c failed step one they stay nonbinary #casting winston just as serendipitously more than billions deserved or could handle #will roland acting it tf up right away even w/quant kid 2 in a way the writing would never step up to lmfao. beautiful

my job's ability to go from covering my health insurance cost with relatively low copays to just deciding to charge me $300 a month for much higher copays which only kick in AFTER I spend $2000 on healthcare each year is reason number 9838297399273 i need to get out of this country

#money #health #sorry to everyone for the very specific ventung but i just. its so ridiculous. they already dont pay me enough #the impact on me is such that im going to have to stop certain essential things so that i can save for healthcare eventualities #but rara youre young and healthy what are you worried about #THATS WHAT IM MOST ANXIOUS ABOUT!!! #i loathe job searching #my brain is melting out of my ears already #if it werent melting i probably wouldnt be posting this so blame that for u seeing this #hours. of job searching

Worrying I'm developing a case of senioritis, not in the screw-this-I'm-just-not-going-to-do-it way, but in the holy-shit-can-I-please-finally-just-be-done way

#when i complain about losing all of my 20s to school i'm not complaining about losing my 'best years' or 'party years' or whatever #i'm complaining about how with each passing year i am slowly losing more abilities and having more pain and health issues #my guess is that chronic stress has caused a good deal of them #so by the time i graduate i'm going to be 27 (no money no prospects lol) with no driver's license no savings no plans no apartment - #- and constant pain. #all for a BA in gender studies #so i'm feeling a liiiiittle fucking down. #i've liked being a student. it's the only thing i know how to do. but now i am ready to do Other Things With My Life please. #at least with a 9-5 you have your weekends free AND you're making money #me i have to cram hours and hours of work in on the weekends while everyone is home and making noise bc i don't have time during the week - #- because of my 3-4 hour collective commute / class / MORE work / pain from being out all day #i kind of hate hearing my irl friends complain about their jobs to be honest

feeling an unsettling bout of despair and jarringly out of sync this evening, all while the sun shines and clouds pour rain outside my window. at least the sky is pink.

#i'm like happy with life in general but when i start to think too far ahead i'm like frustrated and stressed hahahahha #i'm whispering this so don't tell anyone ok??? #but my bf is job hunting and he's gotten so many interviews and he's doing so well but these damn places keep looking past him #and our apartment lease is ending soon so i'm like what if we bought a house ha ha #but also what if we got married and had a wedding #but wait i want him to propose to me #but also wait we don't have money saved up how do people save up money #and it's just a cycle that i know will come in time because we work hard and love each other and want this together but i'm also just stres #that it's not happening like tomorrow lol #so anyway i'm just spiralling but nothing is dire #but also we need to find someone to dogsit for us for like 5 days next weekend and htne like 2 days the next #i'm tired lol but at least my covid symptoms are gone #cheers lol good luck to everyone and i hope all your dreams come true #personal #madmadmilk #in the tags #poetry

school shootings were always my biggest fear as a student and now I still fear them as a teacher

#what could I say about this that I didn’t already say after parkland? #after sandy hook? after virginia tech? after columbine? #after the millions of other school shootings that didn’t get media coverage cause the death toll didn’t break a record #that’s the part that’s getting me #nowadays a shooting where only 2-3 victims doesn’t get any media coverage #but in any other country in the world this would spark national outrage BECAUSE ANYONE DYING IN SCHOOL IS NOT NORMAL!!! #but noooo in this country (ONLY country in the world where this regularly happens) there’s no way to prevent it #like are you american exceptionalists proud? we’re the school shooting capital of the world how amazing #all because we refuse to ban guns the blatantly obvious solution that has worked out for everyone else #fuck you and your second amendment rights we do not need to adhere to these dumb ass founders beliefs #what society adheres to rules from 300 years ago that were written by some of the most evil men in history they didn’t know SHIT #and anyways they themselves said that it needs to be well regulated but of course that part is ignored #dumbass politicians coming up with anything to ‘fix’ the problem besides banning automatic weapons #TED CRUZ IS SAYING DOORS ARE THE PROBLEM AND THAT THERE SHOULD ONLY BE ONE DOOR?? MF THAT IS A FIRE HAZARD #and they’re saying we need armed security as if the USELESS POLICE DID ANYTHING TO SAVE THOSE KIDS #‘only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy’ oh really? and what happens when that good guy also gets shot like in Buffalo? #and saying we need to secure schools like they’re prisons cause a metal detector is gonna stop a psycho with the intention to kill #all this security will just make Black kids kids with special needs kids of color and so many more feel even more unsafe #and let’s not forget the stupidest idea of them all ARMING TEACHERS???? #teachers don’t get paid enough nor is it in their job description to KILL SCHOOL SHOOTERS #THAT IS THE POLICE’S JOB NOT OURS??? and this puts so many kids at risk too and teachers shouldn’t have to sacrifice themselves?? #we can’t even get our lesson plans to go the way we planned them AND YOU WANT TO PUT A GUN IN A CLASSROOM? #i hate that the kids teachers and parents did more to protect each other than the people that get 40% of the city’s budget #all cause they were ‘scared’ well maybe you’re in the wrong line of work you coward pigs #and let me get started on the fact that we have an epidemic of murderous young boys that we have been ignoring since columbine #all of these shootings were committed by young adult men with incel white supremacist nazi ideologies #but sure let’s act like they did this because of bullying SHUT UP #men are literally the problem. like we need to be monitoring boys more instead of micromanaging our daughters #cause look at what kind of monsters they become #all of these violent video games and chat rooms where the most vile things are said is literally a pipeline to becoming an incel nazi

i still think one of the dumbest things in the entire saw franchise is when jigsaw puts that cop guy in a game where the lesson is that he helps people too much. and needs to learn to stop trying to save others from danger.

#ignoring the fact that no such cop would exist in real life like. what a fucking batshit take #you help people too much. its not your job to save people. so now you must be punished. fuck everyone they have to help themselves #avpost #hes like oh you played my game? you played my game and solved my puzzles to try and save some guy? fuck you his head is crushed by ice now. #thats what you get. serves you right for trying to save people . #sorry i just remembered that this happened so i dont recall if they ever gave like. a twist explanation that made this make sense #i dunno. maybe it was because the two guys he was trying to save were hoffman and the cop from saw 2 who are like. the worst characters
