My government has a real “we didn’t know starting a war would cause a war“ vibe going on which I realize I should be outraged about in the abstract but find myself mainly nonplussed by at this point.
Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."
I’m unfortunately convinced at this point that we’re literally going to be spending the rest of our lives fixing this. This isn’t a small thing and I imagine that unless people actually band together and say no early enough it’s just going to get worse. Long road ahead to get back to where we were.

Horrible alternative take here. He’s dying and trying so hard not to transfer it to Steve but he does it anyway because he’s been doing it so long that it’s reflexive. :(

I was gonna say, now I’M curious
Yeah, I’m sorry. But that is absolutely crap. And I know there are people theorizing that she survived and that’s what the thing with the vent was supposed to be. But you know what. All three characters. You did it to all three of them.
To watch my shitty little serotonin show, the thing that’s supposed to actually distract me from the real world’s bullshit and have them go, yeah, no, there’s no getting past it. You’ll UNALIVE yourself at some point. You’ll succumb to it. Just make sure it’s for a good cause?
I have been struggling all week. For weeks now, but especially this week. I am thinking about it all the time. The only thing that has stopped me at times is knowing that my husband would come home and find me, because I personally know what that does to a person.
It’s bullshit. Don’t romanticize suicide. Don’t make a suicidal character sacrifice themselves for the greater good. Make them struggle with living. Make them claw their way into surviving. Make them WANT to live again.
And I’m sorry, maybe they thought the ending was poetic. And it kind of was? In some ways? Jayce and Viktor ending it together the way they started it? Yeah, sure, makes sense. But Jinx? After her hallucination’s spiel about actually surviving? After she was JUST talked out of suicide?
They took. Not one. Not two. But the THREE characters who had at one point or another attempted suicide, and had them sacrifice themselves. Every single one of them.
Okay, you know what. I’m not done. Spoilers for Arcane, TW for suicide**
Wow, so that ending was absolute garbage.

It was called LiveJournal and you told the whole world what you wouldn’t even share with your therapist
This was really hard and I realize it defeats the point, but here are some runner ups.
let's play a game: what's your fic author starter pack?
what are 4 fics (or fewer) that you'd tell people to read if they want to get to know you as a fic author? ignore hits, ignore kudos—simply vibe.
here's mine:
I keep coming back to stare at this. It’s so beautiful. So sad. Out of death though, life.
