last night i got home kind of tipsy and very much in tears and my mother told me the force you exert to keep someone in your life is proportional to the force with which they will leave your life. if you have to fight tooth and claw to keep them, their leaving will be just as hard, just as harsh, and just as definite.

#she said it like a law. its just momentum.#also she told me to get a therapist and start archery ASAP bc i need to get it together #and also she said even granting that this person u were in love w was So Special . as in hot motorcycle-riding iranian masc lesbian in ldn #they arent the only one on earth and that once i start my proper adult life outside of studies etc etc i will probably no longer live in th #UK. she said most non straight iranians u would like have left the country anyway . where do you think they went? theyre out there #and also she asked me to imagine how many hot gay iranians there may be in italy or amsterdam or smth and i was like ok points 😭 maybe #ur right. anyway i was having a feeling of dread bc crying into the arms of ur strict asian mother while buzzed usually results in #death chaos destruction etc in the next few days but actually i think maybe she has genuinely changed as a person and the fear is #unwarranted #anyway i need to eat breakfast and study w the date person i met yesterday #they are so nice ??? genuinely so so sweet i dont feel attracted to them at all omg i genuinely think i have a thing for hot evil ppl 😭#but we could b besties . theyre a lot more romantic than the ex situationship person too like generally . ugh they should be perfect but #alas it appears i am shallow as fuck or potentially a lesbian actually #OH THEY MIGHT ALSO BE POTENTIALLY A LESBIAN BTW #i think i just tend to not date cis ppl entirely by accident #....feel free to rb if u want btw sorry for the rant

could you imagine how good spirit animals would be if it wasn't written as a children's series

#thats the country that is bad and full of bad people that deserve to be mistreated and suffer a horrible disease that is easily curable -#- that the rest of the world has access to because a long time ago they started a war #i feel like bc they were kids books they couldnt really touch on the horrors of war #or how vile The Many were #it could also explore the greencloaks more in the way that they werent good guys. in the slightest #it would have so much more nuance #GOD IMAGINE IMAGINE IMAGINE #IT COULD BE SO SO SO GOOD #i need someone to write the books in a grittier way.#i mean obviously they touched on the fact that these kids were fighting in wars at 11 years old #and that stetriol was justified in rising up #and shane is already a really complex character but we never really got to see the like super gritty side only glimpses in the book of shan #spirit animals books #spirit animals series #and the fucking bile???? thats a terrifying concept that didnt get treated as seriously as it shouldve i think #especially how the fact it can turn regular animals into brutish killing machines was mentioned only once or twice #the amount of proper angst you can explore in the main four as well holy shit

What if i went back in time and smashed your gamecube. What would your childhood game collection look like then?

#ask #anon #anon i grew up with the n64 #so like. not much different? i wouldnt have TTYD or Sunshine or Luigis Mansion #but like. around the time of the gamecube. my family had the n64. ps1. ps2.#id still have played battle for bikini bottom because i had it on PS2 first #we also had a few other consoles but i dont have a proper memory of which my brothers owned. were sold. or were borrowed #because we had a dreamcast. i played sonic adventure 1 (appearently got to the casino. i remember the ring shaker)#we had an SNES at one point. played mario world and donkey kong country 1 #we had a sega genesis momentarily before we moved around the time i was 5 #i remember playing aladin. mortal kombat (dont know which one) and a garfield 2D platformer that had a haunted mansion level #or something #but the dreamcast. genesis and... maybe the snes. we had those before the gamecube #with the n64 my main games were mario 64. banjo kazooie. and banjo tooie. and mario kart and mario party 2 #ive still got almost all of my old n64 games. im missing my copy of toy story 2 and smash 64 #my brothers owned metroid prime 1 & 2 for the gamecube so. i wouldnt have had that i guess.#iirc i got the gamecube for easter one year. i say iirc because i remember specifically getting Mario Sunshine #and the gamecube mightve been paired with it but i was specifically excited for mario sunshine #i woke up to follow like. a trail of starburst into the basement (its our secondary living room) to find the game and console... i think #so i forever associate Sunshine with starburst. idk if it was intentional or not.#starburst fits really well for the few times that colourful goop pattern is used. like at the very start of the game #anyway anon you couldve just asked what wouldve happened if i didnt have a gamecube. no need for the violence.#also the gamecube itself plays a very small role in my childhood. like in comparison to the PS2 games that came and went in my household #anyway. thank you anon for the ask. i think.

Y'all listen just because you learned something in school doesn't mean everyone else did. idk how y'all got this idea in ur heads that we all learned the same shit when literal book bans are happening in schools across the united states and certain subjects are being banned from ever being talked about. (do not even get me started on the fact different countries have different curriculum too) Like you cannot say "You guys obviously just didn't pay attention in school and are stupid because we all learned this" like you are ignoring like 50 other options as to why people may not have learned this ranging from poorly funded school to disabled kid getting shoved into special ed classes which are often notorious for mistreating their disabled students. I'm begging you all to understand the nuance of why certain skills and abilities aren't as widely spread as you assume they should be.

#text #some of you are creeping a bit to close to ablism and it's getting real ucomfortable #'everyone learned media literacy in school' except in the schools where they just told you what to think.#except in the schools where they didn't want you to learn critical thinking so that they could push an agenda without you questioning it #except in schools where books or subjects that would require this skill got banned and thus it was never learned #unless the school was underfunded and couldn't afford the proper materials to teach it #unless your teacher was bad and didn't bother to properly teach you #unless your teacher and school was ablist and refused to teach you #unless your schooling was disrupted by a sudden pandemic that may of forced you into an environment that made it more difficult to learn #unless literally anything else besides 'you didn't listen and are thus stupid' because i can assure you we were listening #maybe instead of blaming a huge portion of the population of suddenly becoming stupid or not paying attention in class #maybe you could realize that this is a failure on the American school system as a whole #at some point you can't keep blaming the students for failing when it's this many students #at some point you gotta realize it's the system and blaming the individual does nothing #btw i didn't talk about other country curriculum because I'm not knowledgeable enough to know how good other school systems are #but i know more about american school systems and how much they suck and so many of these ppl complaining mean american schools anyways #but i am aware of other countries having wide variety of curriculum and how weird ppl get about that especially with usa centrism online #i just dont feel like i can give a good enough commentary on that that other non-usa ppl haven't already given 10x better than i ever could

Friendly reminder that Francesco Coppino and Prospero di Camulio, contemporaries who were literally getting their information from predominantly Yorkist circles, were both explicitly clear that it was Henry VI who decided to surrender Berwick to Scotland.

Camulio: "King Henry has given away a castle [town] called Berwick, which is one of the keys of the frontier between England and Scotland." Coppino: "[Scotland has] received from the same Henry the town of Berwick, on the frontiers of Scotland, which the Scots have long claimed as their right from the English, as the excellently well furnished guardian of their frontiers, and the place to which King Henry repaired as an asylum after the battle."

The idea that Margaret of Anjou was principally involved in the surrender, or that she was the one who actually made the decision, is based on nothing but assumption. Two direct contemporaries, both speaking of ongoing events as they unfolded, who were both getting information from Yorkist-held England, both clearly believed it was Henry who was responsible for this course of action. Neither of them mention Margaret. Sure, you can argue that it was merely rhetorical, and that they were simply automatically attributing such an important decision to the King rather than the queen - but rhetoric is nonetheless extremely important and helps us understand how historical figures were perceived at the time. Margaret's enemies would surely not have hesitated to broadcast her involvement had it actually been true, and Coppino in particular had shown no qualms about criticizing her in favor of the Yorkists before. If she was genuinely believed to have been responsible, and if the Yorkists were actually claiming that she was at the time, I see no reason why Coppino or Camulio would not have emphasized her role in their letters. What these samples instead indicate is literally the opposite: that their contemporaries - probably including the Yorkists who were putting out the information that Coppino and Camulio reported - actually believed that Henry was the one making the decision. I think it's a very large and very unnecessary stretch to go against actual evidence and claim otherwise by placing the responsibility on Margaret instead.

Additionally, these small samples may also reveal what people at the time - once again including the Yorkists - actually thought of Henry's role in the war on a broader level, away from direct Yorkist propaganda which would obviously and perhaps understandably seek to de-emphasize it: namely, that Henry was perceived as the one making decisions and deciding the courses of action for his own side.

#henry vi #margaret of anjou #english history #my post #I want to make a longer post detailing the clear indications we have that Henry *was* perceived as the active decision maker of his side #which indicates that contemporaries did not really think that there was some kind of giant 'role-reversal' between him and MoA #but until then the gist is:#after Henry was rescued in 1461 contemporary letters clearly emphasize his own actions; they mostly did not attribute decisions to Margaret #we also know he and Margaret separated when she headed off to the continent;#that he seems to have been involved in border-raids against Yorkist England;#*and* that he avoided capture until 1465 #if Henry was entirely passive throughout it all and entirely dependent on Margaret to make decisions #I do not understand how any of this would have been possible #Instead Henry & Margaret seemed to have had more of a partnership with Margaret focusing on gaining international support #which she was very well-suited for given her powerful foreign connections #& with her taking on leadership in his absence (mainly due to imprisonment/incapacity) rather than all the time/when they were together #and like I said when it comes to Berwick contemporaries clearly believed it was Henry's decision #but also like. let's hypothetically assume that Margaret was the driving force behind it. please think of this situation logically.#whoever's idea it was Scotland was very obviously going to want a proper confirmation from the *king*#who was. yk. the actual authority of the country #even if Margaret was the one encouraging this surrender Henry's approval and agreement would have still been required #if not by the Lancastrian party then by Scotland #and again this is assuming that Margaret was actually the driving force behind it. there's no indication that she was #but ultimately contemporaries very clearly believed *Henry* was responsible #we don't know what MoA actually thought of it or what her actual involvement was (she could may encouraged it; she may have misliked it;#she may have simply been told after the decision had already been made)#but ultimately even in the most extreme case - which is contradicted by actual evidence - the final say would have been Henry's #it would be nice if this was reflected by historians?

everything in the us truly went to shit whenever walmart stopped selling those 50¢ bite sized pumpkin pies and increased the prices of the other bite sized pies to 74¢.

#literally grew up eating those pies #my dad would buy them in bulk like every week and i would devour multiple of them within minutes #back when we were a proper country...

unwell about things,,,,,,, have not slept,,,,,,,, i can taste the numbers now

#random thoughts #taste.......... that reminds me. plazma. i still want to try plazma #plazma look lovely........... fucking......... biscuits or cookies or whatever you call them. fucking delicious #12 12 12. very 12. so 12. what a concept it is!#infirmum sum infirmum sum but it is an illness of mens once again! lacking proper diagnosis or simply sleep-deprived. oh crispin #you quote konstrakta now?? illustrate the concept of “mens infirma in corpore sano” in your own terms. oh certainly not. ridicule me please #well......... you've fallen? but where to? where to my love? who is your love? myself #carve cavities scoop out my own viscera like pomegranate. we are still we are still we breathe flowers and disease #viscera. viscera viscera viscera. viscera <12 #a word! a word. becomes your new favorite #stand here to listen listen to the ramblings of an idiot. he believes his words will weave well into music #hyvä suomi! your country loves you once again where your own mother does not #hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the words they hold me together. twist them as i were to wring out my own organs. soft shoulders #my skin feels strange on me sometimes. it feels rather like my brother's skin than my own but so so pale now #when was it last have i seen the sun? burn holes into seemingly poetic eyes get a grip on reality!#here we break character and watch as the fool begins to slap himself repeatedly in the face. why? because he likes it of course. masochist #i'd like the title branded into this skin sewn together of my dearly beloved family. yes please

Ohh so this is how it feels to be the only one in your group of three not invited to a friends birthday party, who we all know and are kinda close to.... I forgot that feeling as well...... Hmm

#hmm its a friends (?) birthday and like i thought we were close but apparently not?#wow this semester is not going good friendship wise is it #oh well #time to work on assignments instead 👍#at least we'll be able to watch Oppenheimer together tomorrow #they wont ditch the tickets they already paid for would they #man i really want to think that its just a series of unfortunate coincidences and not actually deliberate #but the optimism sure is running out #i thought college was supposed to be fun #and with friends....#but like the friend i was friends with since the beginning of the semester and stayed friends with even though we went through like #multiple friends groups #when i finally though we had a proper trio #it just feels like it might turn into a duo because she is wayyyyybmore concerned about thebother friend in the trio #which hm understandable those guys lived really closeby (hometown wise) whereas I'm literally half the country away #so theyd have similar experiences and stuff and would relate more #but it does hurt to be sidelined like that i guess #aghhhhh nah im not gonna just jump to conclusions #ill wait a few more weeks before i start putting my feelings on this concretely #its probably just bad misunderstandings #yeah #i swear im not sad about the possibly of this being actually another drift apart (<- LYING)#AUGHHFHDHDKSK #okay no assignment time lets go #vent

My take on the situation

#okay like #I went to riot fest last year and had a great time #the crowds were great the pit was great everyone helped everyone out #even during the headliner shows at the end of the day #and theres definitely some blame to be put on managment #they oversold tickets and didn't give enough food options and didn't schedule the night very well #but people are talking about the water line being hours long and... it wasnt #I went through the water line multiple times a day all three days #and it always moved super fast #I went in the pit for bad religion and everyone there was great and when I was tired of being in the pit I crowdsurfed out #because that's usually the easiest and SAFEST way to leave a crowd #there were a few time through the weekend when I ran into some drunk guys throwin elbows #and me and everyone else always jumped on that shit right away and separated them from the rest of the crowd #you gotta be aware of those around you and have any amount of consideration for them #and if this isn't the kind of concert experience you want #just go to a normal concert don't go to fucking riot fest #we used to be a proper fucking country smh #I really hope no one sees this post cause the mcr kids are gonna have my fkn head

I don’t understand why companies spend god knows how much money on a commercial spot during the Superbowl only to post the ad online weeks ahead of the game.

#we used to be a proper country when you didn’t know what the ads were going to be #now they get posted online two weeks or more before the game #like what’s the point of spending all of that money when you’re just going to post it before??#seeing what all the new commercials were was a big appeal of watching the game and that’s decreased in years

I’m soooo fucking tired of people who have no idea about my life questioning the validity about my opinions on the plot of Stranger Things 4. The number of straight people in my life announcing this was the ✨ epitome ✨ of accurate queer rep in period piece television and defending the Duffers (despite this season being pretty flawed all-around) with their lives, and then telling me that the writers don't owe me anything to my face is beyond me. Acquantances that are publicly out under the poly/mspec/bi+ umbrella have held up their identity to me like some sort of VIP card to shut me down. They haven't bothered to take into consideration any of the vast, rich discourse going on amongst the queer community online. They don't know that I'm the only one amongst them who has ever been in a long-term same-sex relationship, and if this were that kind of pissing competition, then I would inadvertantly win. I'm not out to them (and I don't have the privilege to ever be publicly out) and I'm glad that I made that choice.
