𝐈 𝐀𝐌 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐃 𝐎𝐅 𝐋𝐎𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 because I care about my mutuals a lot —but like, can we please be mindful of the way we word things? I’ve seen a lot of people on my dash making some pretty heavy statements because apparently someone writes a personification of the RMS Titanic? But there are also statements being made talking about how ‘gross’ it is to personify things in general — and other similar rhetoric that makes me EXTREMELY uncomfortable. While I think that it’s — very much not in good taste at all — to write a personification of anything where real people died and caused mass casualty (like, writing a personification of the Twin Towers or Columbine school or the like) — I also don’t think that bullying people is the proper way to handle. Informing the person gently as to why it makes you uncomfortable in case they didn’t understand or otherwise blocking is a better tactic, in my opinion.
Also — there are A LOT of writers who personify things, myself included when I ventured to personify an artist’s muse back on lovepurposed 1.0. Hell, Greek mythology *gestures at Pygmalion and Galatea*. Then, likewise, you have people personifying things that mean something to them — the TARDIS from Doctor Who, Baby from Supernatural (I have personally written with both) and so to make a generalization of ‘personification is gross’ is just — not a great take. You are 110% allowed your squicks, you are allowed to use the block button as liberally as you need to. But policing the content that others enjoy writing and then getting your followers to bully and make fun of them really, really isn’t okay. It’s not kind. Calling people ‘gross’ for the fictional content that they enjoy writing has never been it for me.
Again, I personally find the idea of a personified mass-casualty landmark in bad taste and it makes me uncomfortable and I will not interact with that blog if it happens across my dash. But it makes me equally as uncomfortable to see people out there calling people gross over fictional content, and laughing with their friends publicly about it. How would you feel if you came across someone and their whole group of friends shitting on your blog? How would you feel if people were calling you ‘gross’ because you wrote things that they personally didn’t like? Please be mindful — there are kinder ways to go about it, all.

Losing my shit about this article in which a transphobic Tory was so busy panicking about existing in the vicinity of a Trans that she almost certainly misheard "jeans" as "penis" and decided that not only was this a problem with the other woman, but also that the world must be informed of this pressing danger.
"a trans woman! I had to stand directly behind her....I thought, 'this is going well', I'm handling The Situation fine'..."
translated: I saw a tall woman with broad shoulders. How would I get out of this alive? I thought. she has a PENIS. PENIS PENIS PENIS. through some force of PENIS I mean will I managed to PENIS behave normally towards her. My hands were PENIS PENIS PENIS shaking as I tried to dry them. summoning up all my PENIS courage I said 'dryer's crap innit'. she turned to me and said " yeah I'm just goiPENIS PENIS PENIS"
It's been a week and I'm still shaking. This proves trans women are the problem and I'm not weird. I'm fine. It's fine. If you think about it I'm the hero hePENIS!!!!!

In Planet of Judgment, McCoy's wife, Honey, abruptly divorces him on the grounds that they haven't made love in three weeks, causing her unbearable suffering. Three weeks. She confirms this by pointing to the March third checkmark on her sex-with-Leonard-McCoy calendar. I'm not making this up.
A couple of possibilities here:
This relationship suffers from wildly unrealistic expectations of marriage while parenting a small child and working fourteen-hour days.
The author has never been married.
Those legendary "hands of a surgeon" gave poor Honey a spiritual fingerblast awakening so life-altering she couldn't cope with a three-week dry spell.

i think its bobs parents fault for his, johnny, and dally's deaths. not darry's, or pony's, or even bob
his parents never told him no or disciplined him, which was why he was drunk out of his mind that night (the park when he drowned pony). he wanted (needed) for someone to tell him no, set limits, etc. him being intoxicated directly led to his death, later johnny and dally would follow; if his parents told him no/disciplined him, he wouldn't have gotten drunk that night and could've prevented his and the other two deaths
reminder this is just my opinion, though. although i'm literally putting the blame on someone in this post, it's everyone's fault. everyone had a part in it

Is this what Happiness is?
- hey so I haven't seen an interpretation of the bar scenes in Half that I fully agree with, so I wanted to throw my own two cents out there into the void and pray that it makes sense !!!
so, in the bar scenes in Half we see what I interpret as a hangout with old friends (or, hangout with old friend + his wife.) These scenes used to be the biggest piece of evidence for the cheater theory, but now that that's been debunked by the man himself, I have a new way of looking at them
~ before I go any further, I just wanted to say that I'll be calling the brown-haired woman whiskey for simplicity's sake
In this scene, Kazui turns to look at Whiskey, saying the lyrics:
"laughing together, side by side, this distance in our relationship is misleading me, is this what happiness is?"
With my guess (cuz that's really what it is there's no evidence for it) that Whiskey is the Bartender's wife i think this scene is Kazui being conflicted with what he's been told is true, that marrying Hinako is "true love", versus what he feels is true, that marrying Hinako has brought distance into their relationship.
He looks at Whiskey, a woman happily married, and wonders why his relationship with Hinako isn't like that.
~ shout out to @prisoner-000 for the following screenshot
in this post he points out that Hinako and Kazui's rings are silver in Cat, not gold like they were in Half, yet Bartender's ring colour stays the same.
For the sake of this writing I'm going to go with the first meaning they put out, that Bartender's ring is gold because his marriage is genuine.
But wait!! I hear you ask. This is Half and Kazui's ring is still gold in Half!! EXACTLY MY FRIEND!!
Kazui's ring IS still gold in Half because at the time of these scenes he's still fooling himself that this relationship is good, that he will eventually garner real romantic feelings for Hianko.
"laughing together, side by side, this distance in our relationship is misleading me, is this what happiness is?"
Remember this lyric that plays during the Whiskey -> Hinako scene. You know what other scene in Half this lyric reminds me of?
laughing together, side by side,
this distance in our relationship is misleading me,
is this what happiness is?
He's beginning to doubt if what he believes is true, he's beginning to believe the feelings telling him something's wrong (and remember, the scene right after this one is when he confesses (?) his secret to Hinako) ARE infact true, and that maybe the logic he's been following for so long has a couple holes in it.
I think these scenes are meant to show Kazui gradually realising that his relationship with Hinako will not work out. It just won't, no matter how hard he tries.
He's able to laugh together and talk with Whiskey because she's his friend, yet he can't do the same with his own wife? Even though, according to his gold ring, their relationship is supposed to be real and true and genuine?

I know everyone's always pairing Satan with a Skitty when it comes to Pokémon AUs since Skitty is a cat and all, but guys
Just think about Satan and Mimikyu for a second
Mimikyu is feared by a lot of people and is so lonely that it disguises itself as a beloved Pokémon (even though it hates said Pokémon!!) which has now gotten to the point where people pretty much always associate Mimikyu with Pikachu. And all that just to be loved? Satan would melt when he meets the little guy
Plus Mimikyu could technically always make a Skitty costume, so in a way Satan could still get his cat without breaking the 'no cats in the house' rule
Edit: small addition
