You don't need to believe that people as a whole are good or well-intentioned to be an optimist about fixing climate change.

A lot of the time, it's enough to trust in this: people hate being screwed over. And even more than that, they hate feeling screwed over.

Climate change is actively screwing over almost every single person on this planet, whether they know it or not. We just need to keep making sure that people do know that they're getting screwed over, along with all their loved ones, and who's doing it.

Spite and righteous anger will honestly do a lot of the rest.

#hope #good news #hope posting #climate change #climate optimism #life #not news #advice #me #human nature #like. obviously this is imho. but also I'm genuinely convinced that I'm right #spite and anger are powerful motivators #there are scientists who argue that anger's whole evolutionary purpose #is to keep us from being screwed over #because that's so vital to our survival #and what's more vital to our survival than a liveable planet???#channel your anger into action #do not let anyone tell you that optimism or being an activist or being part of a healthy community means never being angry #that is so so untrue #and if you find a way to channel your anger and pain and grief to do GOOD in the world #to help people #then that will also do a lot to stop your emotions from eating you up inside #hopepunk #anger #spite #optimism #hopeposting #humanity

Thoughts create emotions, emotions create feelings and feelings create behaviour. So it’s very important that our thoughts are positive, to attract the right people, events and circumstances into our lives.

thinking about how the theme of letting go (and the related motif of critically examining long-held beliefs/relationships) appears with the companions.

there's arcade and veronica, who were raised in insular environments and surrounded by enemies their entire lives, who fundamentally disagree with the politics of those groups, and who have to find a way to reconcile the love and loyalty they have for the only families they've ever known with their personal ideologies and goals.

while cassidy and crimson caravans aren't major factions in the vein of the ncr/enclave/brotherhood, cass' quest also revolves around whether she upholds the legacy of her family or follows her own path.

boone is disillusioned with the ncr after the bitter springs massacre but still wears his first recon beret, perhaps as a sign of lingering loyalty, or perhaps as penance. he participated in a horrible war crime because he was following orders, because that mindset was drilled into him since he joined the military. he's not as ideologically opposed to the ncr as arcade and veronica are to the enclave and brotherhood, respectively, but the similarity is worth noting.

what makes these companion quests so memorable is that we're meeting these characters at critical crossroads in their lives, where they have to come to terms with complicated attachments, where they'll define themselves by whether they choose to hang on to a legacy or strike out on their own.

#there's also revenge as a theme but that's another post #and that's to say nothing of how the dlc handle this theme—there are some great posts circulating already #to which i don't have anything substantial to add atm. though at some point i want to dig into that revenge element as well #it's obviously tied up with the inability to let go but there's the old world blues nostalgia vs. elijah & joshua's power hunger #vs. ulysses desire for justice #and there's benny and his ambition and the courier and their myriad motives #it's a good game #arcade gannon #veronica santangelo #rose of sharon cassidy #craig boone #for auld lang syne #i could make you care #heartache by the number #i forgot to remember to forget #fallout: new vegas

You literally CANNOT make a toh tlt au because there is no way you can get everything to make sense. The two universes just do not cooperate. BUT Willow and Gus would make such a good cav and necro duo

#need more platonic loved stories that are doomed by the narrative #will both of them survive? whos to say...#i think amity would be in harrow's position. the one most desperate to become a lyctor. mirrors her s1 motivation to join the EC #also luz is her completely unqualified cav #like in the grom ep where she volunteered to be her knight #same energy #john is....yknow. peepaw himself.#eda would be one of his lyctors #shes so pyrah adjacent #raine's soul is still alive in her somewhere #she refuses to fully consume them. thats why her powers are weakened. its a curse but she wont fix it #john is....yknow. peepaw.#hunter is the resurrected corpse of his brother caleb #who died before pip wiped out all life in the universe #but caleb got really annoying and shitty (in pip's opinion) after he started dating girls in his teens #so pip keeps his new body permanently frozen at sixteen years old #before he became a bitch #hunter is incapable of physically or mentally maturing #hes just been a scared moody kid for thousands of years #when pip recruited amity for lyctorhood he was like ''look hunter a little playmate for you''#but they keep trying to kill each other with hammers #luz as kiriona....like the w&d luz in the belos outfit ooooooh #papa titan is alecto #dead but also not dead #and if he wakes up its fucking OVER for everyone #none of you know what the fuck im talking about sorry #i think king would be the soul of pluto put into the body of a small child or something idk
