while i'm thinking about terror character characterisation i think it's so vitally important to let crozier keep his rage after he recovers from alcoholism. he may temper it better now that he has full control of his faculties and direct it more rationally both out of a sense of responsibility of care for his men and guilt for the harm he caused while in the grip of the drink, but make no mistake that it's still there. good people don't have to stop being angry to be good, and recognising your capacity for violence doesn't stop you from being capable of it.

The bourgeois or "exploiting class" doesn't inherently include the person who gets their nails done biweekly, or the disabled person who has a carer, or the guy who got a $70 video game for full-price, or the person who relies on medication (yes even the ones you don't think they "need"), or anything else like this. None of these people will, on average, have the ability to exploit workers by means of ownership or whatever.
While you are busy fighting with fellow workers, you are still being exploited by your boss, by capitalism, by (potentially) not having healthcare, by being overworked and underpaid, and so are they.

Every single person who is trying to shame people into voting for Genocide Joe's re-election because "Trump is worse and Biden is less worse" is disgusting.
As a person who voted Democrat since I could vote, as a person who fought with family or acquaintances to make them see how bad Trump is, the level of shame and guilt that I've been carrying for weeks over the Genocide in Palestine, over every single death that I see on my screen, over every story I read about those brave suffering people, has eaten me alive. To know that my vote put a monster in power.
"We can't live through Trump again". Too bad. Maybe instead of spending all your energy shaming the people, especially the Palestinian-Americans, into voting for the man who is directly responsible, directly to blame, for ongoing aid to fund and support the deaths of thousands of men, women, and children, maybe you should do the work to put a better candidate in office, maybe you should say "hey both these people are horrible, we should pick someone better" and then work towards that instead of saying "anyone who doesn't vote for Biden over the Palestinian Genocide is worse than the people who vote for Trump". I know you all don't care about the lives of people half a world away but I do.
I will never again in my life vote for a single person who supports the atrocities that I've witnessed.
I will not compromise my morals for your comfort.
Fuck you.
For anyone else who cares about making a difference follow and support Project Olive Grove, they are actively working to ensure that this won't ever happen again by having politicians who advocate for the people and not for genocide.

Sometimes I see the worst most wrong and MEAN and CALLOUS opinions on this site and it's like holy shit why the fuck did I learn to read + I get super fuckin upset, both angry and deeply disheartened/hurt.
However. I have decided that this is going to become a wider problem :) if I have to see everyone else's bad opinions, they also have to see mine >:)

bitty is so strong. and bitty is so, so angry.
these panels all occur four whole years before all the rage and frustration and trauma that bitty has been holding in erupt in that one symbolic check at the end of the comic. these panels are all bitty reacting to jack criticizing him, often loudly and publicly. these panels are all, as much as it’s painful to think of it this way, bitty reacting to someone who at the time was the manifestation of his fears and source of self-doubt.
year 1 bitty often behaves timidly, and rarely chooses confrontation, so it’s easy to think that he was cowed by jack’s behavior. easy to think that he’s fragile. but the truth is actually hidden in the panels where no one but the audience is looking; that’s when bitty's true feelings shine through.
bitty may have a lot of fears, but he also has a lot of fury. and bitty may let his fears urge him to get up and quit, but he never actually does. bitty doesn’t break when faced with his fears: bitty purses his lips and takes a deep breath and pretends he’s fine.
and then he keeps going.

i love when dogs see something they hate so much they just puff up and make the biggest bark ever while throwing their entire body at it teeth-first.
I know it’s objectively dangerous and I would be horribly harmed if one came into contact with me while doing that, but it really just makes me laugh every time.

February request goals update
I made a spreadsheet because I'm like that of all the requests I have from Halloween/early November I know it's been a long time. I'm sorry. So, I'm going try to get 7 more done this month (the ones in yellow, with the darker ones being the requests I'm working on this week). Yes, I picked ones with Simeon in them on purpose.
I put an upload schedule in the bio (Tuesdays 9pm, Saturdays 10pm PST). Let's see if I can actually stick to it. I'll try.

[ID: a doodle of hunter, willow, darius and gus from the owl house, set after Thanks to Them. Hunter is the focus in the foreground with willow and darius behind him. Gus is a small doodle in the background. Hunter looks off to the right with nervous brows and a small smile. Labeled with text next to him that reads: “doing alright, all things considered- knows who he is and what he wants, has clear goals (merk belos) & people who love him. Grieving but carrying flapjacks love with him. He will be okay and he knows this”. Behind him willow and darius are depicted shaking and covered in shadow with text labeling them “shivering with incandescent rage and fear”. The small doodle of gus is labeled “knows what you are”. End ID]
Ideal scenario for post-thanks to them character dynamics

I think many people cognitively understand that retributive justice is often ineffective and simply violent, but they don't want to rid themselves of the almost collective anger mindset that permits this kind of justice to remain in place, even socially. In short, the mindset still treats people as though they must be punished as severely as possible, and when one is wronged, the mindset goes to how violence can be used, which is not inherently the same as righting wrongs.
Justice is complex, and it's messy. That's why it's so important not to treat it simplisticly with only one solution.

Hello! I apologize if this is a nosy question, but what is the silly feelings wheel app you were talking about in a previous post? My therapist and I have been working on identifying feelings but I still very much rely on a list of feeling words to have any idea what I’m feeling, so it could be a helpful resource. No worries if you don’t want to share, just thought I would ask :)
It's called How We Feel! I'm not sure if it's available on all devices yet, but it's on ios and the google play store for sure.
I've been using it for about a year. It's more of a chart than a wheel but people usually recognize the wheel better so that's what I call it. When you first start it has a 10-part tutorial about emotional acceptance and regulation, then it has suggestions for each category of emotion. You can access both at any time tho after those first 10 days.
It has a share option so you can have friends, which has been great for me cause it prompts me to check on friends and them to do the same for me. It allows you to just respond with a little emoji in like a "I'm here for you" little notification to your friend, or you can reach out to your friend on your own. Its really helped me cause I'm bad at reaching out when I need support so to me and I'm bad about taking on other's problems even when I can't handle it so being able to send a little emoji instead to make sure my friends know I'm there if they need me and them doing the same has been great

how hard is it, like honestly how fucking hard is it to tell someone "hey, im just making myself dinner and then i wanna watch tv is it alright if you wrap up your show now?" instead of just fucking waltzing in and saying "i need the tv now." like im not, yet a-fucking-gain halfway through an episode? because i get it, i get wanting to come inside after a day at work and wanting to watch tv - but it has been 20 years of the same fucking bullshit of not giving a fuck about anyone else, because apparently i dont fucking matter in this house and i never fucking have
