What do I do

When the monsters come out from under the bed?

How do I unravel the intrusive abusive chatter?

The tearing down…I thought, I’d made it past.

I just make plans.

Over and over again.

I find a new bravado

A new focus

A new weak point to attack

On who I was-and secretly hate.

I’m not pretty.

I’m not together.

I’m not smart, organized, stylish, successful or lovable.

And because that is what I really think -I find a way to live it out in others; abandonment,

Betrayals,

Abuse,

I know it’s coming -

So I don’t even let people close.

I’ve been hiding my shadow self under sunshine and Sparkles,

not facing ugliness; bedazzling it,

Not fighting monsters;

Avoiding them.

The truth is-I hate myself. I just hide it better than most.

I’m a liar.

I’m deeply deeply sad. The only real thing keeping me going-

Is the absurd stubbornness that refused to let Ernie win.

Couldn’t let the abuser make me small-

The defiant feminist In me refuses-

So I just do it to myself.

I make myself small.

As we speak- I’m creating a plan to wake up and go work harder at being smaller,

I am exhausted with shrinking to be enough.

I’ll never be-

Enough.

I can’t stop thinking about the fact that Grovers Pearl is inside Cerberus.

What if his digestive system crushes it? Is there suddenly going to be a three headed dog appearing on this Santa Monica pier?

#i need to know #is he going to poop it out #is this the ticket to freedom the underworld’s pooper scooper has been waiting for #I’m assuming Cerberus has normal more bodily functions #We know he produces saliva that hints the other processes are going on in his body #I’m pretty sure Tyson functions like a human #so I don’t see why Cerberus shouldn’t function as your average three headed dog #percy jackson #the lightning thief #rick riordan #pjo tv show #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo series #cerberus #grover underwood #we find out the truth sort of #percy jackson spoilers

Friendly reminder! Sonic Prime in Latin American Dub hurts more!

Exhibit A: Instead of calling Sails a beauty, Sonic actually tells him he loves him (he loves every version of his little bro!)

#sonic the hedgehog #miles tails prower #sonic and tails #sonic #sonic prime #sonic prime sails #unbreakable bond #they’re brothers your honor #they are cosmic truth #also remember any time Sonic finds himself in a problem he can’t solve his first instinct is to go to Tails

Peter B admitting to Miles that the non stop tragedies and losses shaping their stories are hard, harsh, and , knowing they can do something about it, cruel even. Then saying the GOOD aspects essentially outshine them. But that's not true. That's a classic toxic positivity line, used to justify shitty, unequal politics. " But at least we have this one good thing" WE CAN HAVE THAT GOOD THING AND NOTHING ELSE. WE AREN'T MADE TO BE IN PAIN, AND PAIN SHOULDN'T MAKE A HERO.

What Miguel doesn't understand is they don't owe the world suffering.

#GRRR THIS MOVIE #atsv #astv spoilers #across the spider verse spoilers #miguel o'hara #across the spiderverse #peter b parker #dont get me wrong i loved peter b the entire movie and i loved this line specifically because it shows how deeply helpless every #hero truly is. he needs to find meaning and hope in everything because if he doesn't. then all he'll have is the truth. #and ik the therapy scene is played for laughs but therapist spider man showed not only how desensitised they've become to personal loss #but other's as well. i mean. it takes something in someond to look a 15 year old in the face and say 'your dad has to die for character #development and continuation sorry' #mann idk i saw this movie literally two hours ago i may be a stupid bitch so dont take this TOO seriously #text #text post

We don't envision season 5 right when we talk because what is that actually gonna be like? This isn't a romcom. Mike finds out about the painting but Will is like throwing up blood and slugs in the corner.

edit: to clarify I wasn't saying "no time for romance" I was saying "it's horror show with raises stakes and angst. Mike will have to figure out how to bring up this truth bomb he discovered when more important things are clearly going on and there aren't the most conversational opportunities". I mean MORE juice, not less.

#stranger things #byler predictions #byler #stranger things speculations #like genuinely he will find out and be STALLED #because there are more important matters #like how do you be mad at your friend who's actively dying #(and also you're in love with) #we know there's a lot of complicated feelings about the painting but imagine getting hit with all those WITHIN the circumstance of whatever #horror shit #i think they will tie the two together like how season 2 created space for the emotions of the shed scene by intertwining them but #it IS more complicated to find out a big truth bomb about someone who is PREOCCUPIED to say the least #mike is like “ a year and a half ago you lied to me ” #and will is like “and 30 seconds ago i was crawling around on the ceiling catch up wheeler” #like you can't just interrupt with that personal life stuff #the writers can fit it i know that

Who is she trying to kid?

brain will not let me sleep until I say

same age padawans au where they’ve been in a weird wired frenemies thing for ages but now that they’re both mature adults (all of 24/25 years old) they’re more friends than enemies….

And it’s Obi-Wan that Anakin tells when he’s decided he’s going to leave the Order, not anyone else. He has a wife. There was a pregnancy scare a few weeks ago and it made her want their relationship to stop being a secret so they could really have kids. He has to leave the Order. Doesn’t Obi-Wan understand?

Obi-Wan, who has been a little in love with Anakin since they were younglings, does not understand. Not one bit. Instead of wishing him well and helping him pack, he goes to the Council and requests a mission in the Outer Rim….perhaps a month long or more…perhaps undercover? No contact with anyone on Coruscant. And maybe they could assign Anakin Skywalker as his back up? He can help with the undercover aspect.

And at first, Anakin is pissed because he was planning to resign from the Order in the next few days, but Obi-Wan convinces him to go on this mission with him….one last mission as a Jedi. To say goodbye to the Jedi life.

Obviously, Obi-Wan sort of wants to go on one last mission with Anakin because in his dreams, he wants the mission to go so perfectly that Anakin stays with him the Order. But realistically, he mostly wants to go on this mission to say goodbye to Anakin and then let him go, soaking up all his warmth and light, memorizing every casual touch bestowed on him because he knows they’re ticking down to the last handful of seconds together.

But then obviously the mission works TOO well and Anakin falls in love with Obi-Wan but doesn’t admit to it even to himself before they’re on the ship about to head back to Coruscant and Anakin realizes he doesn’t want to leave this planet because he doesn’t want to leave Obi-Wan if it could always be like this so he crashes the ship during take off so they can stay longer because he’s 24 and doesn’t know how to handle the immensity of his love except through destruction

#Kit’s silly lil AUs #obikin #I couldn’t finish the Democratic fic part today writing was so hard :( #I offer this instead <3 #hopefully will get it up tomorrow #but anyway: no physical cheating but probably emotional infidelity as anakin falls in love with obi-wan but doesn’t notice #and a lot of pining but being brave about it obi-wan which could also turn into finding his rebound in the outer rim obiwan #which would then turn into seethingly jealous anakin #+ bonus points is that their cover is theyre newly weds #and obi-wan is like <3 you can touch me mister we have an open marriage <3 #and this poor guy at the bar is being stared down by a vicious anakin and he’s like uh does your husband knkw that ???? #but yeah here for pretty newly knighted obi-wan creating a situation where he gets to feel anakin touch him and kiss him on the cheek #and hold his hand and call him pet names #all the while being convinced that this is all he will ever get so he has to be satisfied with this #that the yearning will stop and he will find comfort in the memory of anakin’s arm around his shoulders once he’s left the order and obiwan #to be with his wife #also obi-wan gets wasted one night and someone asks how they met or when they fell in love #and obi-wan accidentally tells the drunken truth #not the cover story #and it makes anakin go 👀🧐 #but then he gets too drunk and forgets it

[blows a kiss out to sea] for the Mighty Nein pirates arc

#I'm!! I have so many thoughts about why this arc is SO GOOD #But the short version is like #It is an arc about Fjord and identity and power and self and agency as he faces the truth of his patron and faces a rival warlock #But it is ALSO about Fjord grappling with those things bc he is ALSO processing grief and sadness and a search for direction and purpose #and grappling with disappointing disillusionment in how the world and people in your life (including maybe yourself) isn't what you thought #and about coming to resolve he has the agency and strength to not allow these things to deter him from purpose and place in the world. #And—this is why this is a PHENOMENAL arc—so is the rest of the Nein. Individually and as a group. #All of them are grappling with feelings of grief and sadness and disappointment and directionless and helplessness #just the grand malaise and relentless shapelessness of what living often is #They also as individuals and as a group together also find that resolve and strength to carry on and find self and purpose and direction #They all begin to process the very same things in their own lives and in their shared experience as The Nein. Simultaneously and together. #It's an arc about Fjord and self and agency in the face of disappointment and grief and disillusionment. #It's an arc about the Nein—individually and as a whole—and self and agency in the face of disappointment and grief and disillusionment. #It's SUCH a strong arc bc ALL of them are taking the same internal journey—structured around Fjord's very externalized version of it. #And it's got incredible vibes (pirate warlocks of a leviathan!) and some GREAT set pieces. And every NPC in the arc is iconic as is Twiggy. #Anyway. In my feelings about this arc. I said this is the short version and yet. #Critical Role things #CR meta

“i dont ship them but i believe they were intertwined by fate” “i dont ship them but i know they had something crazy going on” or “they were a secret third thing” THAT IS SHIPPING do you people hear yourselves. that is shipping. that is all it is. interest in a relationship with no clear label platonic/romantic/complicated/other everything and nothing is the best kind of shipping the world has to offer. powerful undefined relationship. that is ship.. at its purest..

#its literally always pissed me off when people act like its purely a fully romance thing and not obsession with dynamic #and that is okay… its because of the war against cringe… it isnt your fault… #doesnt mean u want them to be together as partners like it can ALSO mean that to some people but thats not what that means. to me at least #philosophies: if you often find yourself contemplating a relationship you ship it. this is okay. and also if you have at least one gay ship #you may also possibly be a fujo. this is also ok. live your truth.

the biggest relief anna would feel if she could see this random man willing and ready to kill for, die for, and live for her daughter. the relief she would feel if she could see the parental love and care her daughter has now. the relief she would feel that that man slaughtered a whole bunch of people, including her best friend, so her daughter could live. there is no doubt in my mind anna would root on joel to the very end.

#joel miller #ellie williams #anna williams #the last of us #tlou #joel tlou #ellie tlou #op #i find it so weird that people are mad that joel lied to ellie #but it without a doubt makes sense #sometimes you have to lie to your kids #that’s it #simple as that #you cannot tell your children the truth all the time #that is not realistic and it shouldn’t be realistic #kids do not know what’s best for themselves and ellie should not be allowed to make a decision that big #at 14 years old??? no way #so joel made the choice for her #like a parent should #and if you don’t think a parent should then you shouldn’t be a parent probably lol #that’s why everybody kids so bad today #their parents tryna be their friends rather than parents

NPR has suspended Uri Berliner, the senior editor who published a bombshell essay a week ago that claimed that the publicly funded outlet has “lost America’s trust” by approaching news stories with a left-wing bias.

NPR media writer David Folkenflik revealed on Tuesday that Berliner beginning on Friday was suspended for five days without pay. Folkenflik, who reviewed a copy of the letter from NPR brass, said the company told the editor he had failed to secure its approval for outside work for other news outlets — a requirement for NPR journalists.

NPR called the letter a “final warning,” saying Berliner would be fired if he violated NPR’s policy again.

Neither NPR nor Berliner immediately responded to requests for comment.

Berliner is a dues-paying member of NPR’s newsroom union, but Folkenflik reported that the editor is not appealing the punishment.

Berliner, a Peabody Award-winning journalist who has worked at NPR for 25 years, called out journalistic blind spots around major news events, including the origins of COVID-19, the war in Gaza and the Hunter Biden laptop, in an essay published Tuesday on Bari Weiss’ online news site the Free Press.

The fallout from the essay sparked outrage from many of his colleagues. Late Monday afternoon, NPR chief news executive Edith Chapin announced to the newsroom that executive editor Eva Rodriguez would lead monthly meetings to review coverage.

The fiasco also ignited a firestorm of criticism from prominent conservatives — with former President Donald Trump demanding NPR’s federal funding be yanked — and has led to internal tumult, the New York Times reported Friday.

NPR’s new chief executive Katherine Maher defended NPR’s journalism, calling Berliner’s article “profoundly disrespectful, hurtful, and demeaning,” The 42-year-old exec added that the essay amounted to “a criticism of our people on the basis of who we are.”

Folkenflik said Berliner took umbrage at that, saying she had “denigrated him.” Berliner said he supported diversifying NPR’s workforce to look more like the US population at large. Maher did not address that in a subsequent private exchange he shared with Folkenflik for the story.

The fiasco soon put the spotlight on Maher, whose own left-leaning bias came to light in a trove of woke, anti-Trump tweets she penned.

In January, when Maher was announced as NPR’s new leader, The Post revealed her penchant for parroting the progressive line on social media — including bluntly biased Twitter posts like “Donald Trump is a racist,” which she wrote in 2018.

That hyper-partisan message was scrubbed from the platform now known as X, but preserved on the site Archive.Today.

It’s unclear when Maher deleted it, or if its removal was tied to her new gig.

Other woke posts remain on Maher’s X account. In 2020, as the George Floyd riots raged, she attempted to justify the looting epidemic in Los Angeles as payback for the sins of slavery.

“I mean, sure, looting is counterproductive,” Maher wrote on May 31, 2020.

“But it’s hard to be mad about protests not prioritizing the private property of a system of oppression founded on treating people’s ancestors as private property.”

The next day, she lectured her 27,000 followers on “white silence.”

“White silence is complicity,” she scolded. “If you are white, today is the day to start a conversation in your community.”

The NPR job is Maher’s first position in journalism or media.

She was previously the CEO of the Wikimedia Foundation, the San Francisco-based nonprofit that hosts Wikipedia, after holding communications roles for the likes of HSBC, UNICEF and the World Bank.

Maher earned a bachelor’s degree in Middle Eastern and Islamic studies from New York University, according to her LinkedIn account, and grew up in Wilton, Conn. — a town that her mother, Ceci Maher, now represents as a Democratic state senator.

Everyone during neverafter 15: oh my god these social interactions are going horribly they’re all doing so bad!

Me, neurodivergent and cannot read social cues: idk mostly these seem fine

#like… Pinocchio overshared for sure #but I didn’t think the rest of them were too bad? like they rolled poorly yes but the actual conversations went fine? I thought? #i at least didn’t think they were as bad as everyone else seems to think #like… with ylfa. when you are a young girl and you meet an older woman who is Like You and successful you are drawn to that #her questions didn’t seem invalid if a bit personal #like ‘how did this happen to u? how do u find the answers and the strength to be successful when your like this the way we are now?’ #that was fair to ask! there was a moment before that where they even clocked eachother as beasts! and then ylfa asked about Pib #which seemed fine to me. like she was genuinely asking advice and she got shutdown with like a one word answer #I feel like la bête did worse in that interaction than ylfa did #none of the stuff with gerard was really his fault within that interaction. Brennan surprised Murph with the read the cards outloud thing #he handled it the best he could under the circumstances #Pib did great. Pinocchio overshared but his intentions and actual words were sweet! traumabonding! #Rosamund did great! she was kind and she said what she wanted like yeah! not too bad! #i don’t think Ally intended to actually put dirt in the cookies Brennan kind of pushed that and I don’t think a lot of what he said was bad #I think ally could’ve handled it better in the sense that they could’ve just told the truth and been vague abt the questions being abt #the book but the stuff about being so overly nice and a bit unnerving seemed like an accurate and not very offensive way of putting it #even before they knew about the nihilistic princess cabal stuff they thought rapunzel was creepy #cienna talks #neverafter
