(Image Id: a map of the american continent,showing the countries from North America,Central America and South America.
South and Central America are circled red and red arrows point to it with red text that reads "this is also America you fuckos" in all caps. Another arrow points to Central America and it says "This is Central America,by the way. Another map I saw said only "north and south".
A separate red text to the right side says "The fact that I have to type "Map of America" and include "continent" to get this image and still google asked if I meant " North America" is shameful!!!!" in all caps. The red text to the left says "Start calling the United States the United States!!!! (This part is in all caps,the rest of the text is not) I don't wish death to America,I wish evil on the United States alone".
Canada is also circled in black with black text that says "Yeah even here but that's not the point" in relation to the fact Canada is also part of the American continent,but the post is about Central and South America and their geopolitical situation as "lower countries". The black circle and text are used as means to get less attention to the red.

i really do think terra would be the final boss for therapists. yeah i know everyone in kh has low self esteem and scrambled memories and repressed ptsd and guilt etc etc don't get me wrong they all need serious help. but there's that and then there's getting your very being split into three parts remaining separate for over a decade. mere fragments of his being trying to hold onto themselves. he was torn apart mind body and soul. and this is BEFORE you factor in the problems he already had and the strong anger and grief etc etc. he walks into the therapist's office and they're completely baffled within the first five minutes of listening to him talk because literally what is he even saying? how do you even begin to dissect that

Usually I just save stuff like this to my drafts until I calm down but you know what, fuck it, I'm done.
Any so-called leftist who refuses to recognize that our options right now are "genocide abroad, progress at home" and "genocide abroad AND genocide at home" and that there is a significant difference between those two options is cordially invited to eat shit and die. We do not have time to entertain your anti-voting hopeless nonsense. A future in which we are able to move towards less death will always be preferable to the one in which we can't, and if you smug, sneering little clowns sacrifice that future on the altar of your own self-righteousness because you're too high on your own farts to realize how far up your own ass you are, I genuinely hope you fucking drown. Specifically, I hope you drown in the blood of the people who will die all over the world as a result of your bizarre refusal to work towards a future that doesn't include ethnic cleansing.
This is the United States. We sell war, here. I don't know how so many of you are only just now figuring that out, but you better get over your shock like yesterday because we are out of fucking time. We ran out of time when Reagan took office if not long before. You think not voting will improve any of this?
Keep calling, keep writing, keep screaming. Governments everywhere are (slowly) beginning to listen. Democrats are (slowly) beginning to listen. But Republicans never will, and if they seize power again next year (which they will absolutely do their damned to attempt), everything will be so, so much worse for everyone, everywhere. The work is slow and painful and imperfect but it will only get done if we show up and do the work, so keep calling, keep writing, keep screaming-- and when the time comes, you show up and vote for the future that lets us build a better tomorrow instead of just choking to death in the steaming shitpile of today.

y'all can all cancel me (again) for this, but if there's even a SHRED of 'who should I pick?' from Penelope in season 3, I am tuning out SO fast because like. . .sorry not sorry, there IS no choice. Debling is some crusty OC suitor she barely even knows and Colin is a man who she has been so supposedly in love with to the point where she'd ruin her entire family's reputation to have a potential love story with him. Penelope and Colin have background, years of knowing each other, intimacy that few people in the Ton can boast of having (letters, conversations about purpose, fights and arguments and makeups) and her and Debling have. . .a dance or two at a ball because he's a rebound for Penelope's broken heart. he means nothing. he has no nuance, he has no weight to the story, he is such an afterthought to me. either I wanna see Penelope going 'you know what? I don't even LIKE this dude. he's. . .fine, but I don't care about him even a shred as much as I care about Colin' or the INSTANT Colin's like 'you know what? we should get married' if it's not an immediate 'say less, you're already my husband, try returning me without the receipt, Debling whomst?' then I don't want it!
like. . .it's just so frustrating to see all the 'I hope Debling sweeps her off her feet and she rejects Colin's proposal and she makes him work for it and and and-' nonsense from the fandom and it's always tagged and no matter how many times I block it, it just keeps popping up. I go into the Polin tag for POLIN. I don't give a SHIT about a male love interest other than Colin. Not one. Not a shred. Not an iota.
and also. . .Debling has the 'benefit' of not having depth, or character traits, or HISTORY, so peeps can project onto him however they want, but I'm calling it now, there is NOTHING he could do or be that would make me like him more than Colin. Colin will always hit different, and I will always love him more. and if Pen's not on that same page? lol bye
you want me to believe Penelope and Colin are soulmates and it's romance for her to hem and haw about how difficult a decision it is for her to marry a stranger who knows barely anything about her. . .
when Marina was out here dropping banger lines like 'You were the only man with which I could see myself being happy' and 'I do not care about any of these men, where is Colin?'? like hello??? and she wasn't even fully in love with him!!!! but we'll demonize her until the cows come home in our fandom and make her the villain in Polin's love story for DARING to get in between Polin, yet Debling, a white man, is a darling dear perfect prince for getting in between Polin? existing in our fandom solely so Penelope can be like 'lol, Colin ain't shit, let me entertain any and everyone else'?
if that's the direction it goes then, ten toes down and on my mama, she doesn't deserve Colin and she can move because I'm on my way to court him my damn self
and that's that on that

How fast can each person morph / how did this change from the beginning to the end of the series?
So I can't give you an answer in seconds, but I can take a stab at what we do have.
Some morphers are faster than others
All of the kids get faster at morphing throughout the war
Some morphs seem to happen faster than others
Morph time's probably more than 20 seconds, definitely less than 5 minutes
Some morphers are faster than others. Cassie being the fastest morpher on the team comes up as early as #2 when they're exploring bird morphs, and becomes a major plot point in MM1 and #34 among others. This seems to be part of the estreen "knack" that Ax mentions, since Cassie is faster than Ax (#17) despite Ax knowing more of the theory of how morphing works. (Although MM4 implies he's never morphed at all before he came to Earth, which suggests he hadn't gotten to that module of his training yet — I love the headcanon that he can only morph at all because Elfangor illegally slipped him the ability at some point.) Marco seems to be consistently the slowest morpher, which threatens him with nothliting in #3 and #21.
All the kids get faster at morphing throughout the war. This one's most obvious in the opening of #54, when Rachel has time to do two morphs — and smush Tom like a bug — in the time it takes most of the controllers to complete just one. But Marco also notes it in #51 when he and Tobias are up against the morph-controllers and their own skill is obvious against these amateurs.
Some morphs seem to happen faster than others. Dolphin (#4) and spider-monkey (#11) are two the kids mention finding relatively easy, whereas the transition itself for fly (#6) and eel (#29) are both mentioned as particularly slow and horrible. I've got two headcanons for that — the first is that the morphing works smoother when it's got less "work" to do (e.g. big mammal to big mammal vs. big mammal to tiny insect). The second is that the kids' own comfort with a morph either speeds up or slows down the process, not always to the point where severe emotional distress sabotages the whole thing (e.g. Marco in #35) but maybe to the point where you're going to be real slow about becoming a fly if you don't particularly want to be one.
Morph time's probably more than 20 seconds, definitely less than 5 minutes. In #51 we see Ax fall off a bridge as an andalite, sink, and come back up as a shark in the time it takes Marco and the governor to speak ~4 lines of dialogue, which I'd very roughly time at about 20 seconds. Contrast that with MM1, when Ax and Marco just barely demorph and remorph in the time it takes them to fall from the edge of Earth's atmosphere to the ground, a trip that takes ~6 minutes according to scientists with too much time on their hands.
So. An estreen with years of experience who is motivated to morph fast and is using a morph they're comfortable with (let's say their also-human best friend who donated the DNA) might be able to get it down to 10 seconds. A new kid who doesn't want to morph and hates the morph they're becoming (e.g. David becoming a cockroach for the first time in #20) might take over 3 minutes.
