you can love somebody without using your hands

sometimes i see an out of context discourse post and im like "hm this really sounds like op is strawmanning a reasonable argument and making up a guy to be mad at." and then i check their blog for context and realise theyve spent the past 72 hours arguing with the human embodiments of the strawman. like damn nevermind im sorry for doubting you. you are fighting battles so cartoonishly evil i cant even fathom them as real. good luck out there.

adam parrish was such a dangerous concept to introduce to the vulnerable teenage mind

europeans be like “omg north americans are so racist it’s horrible” and then elect fascists

the mark of a real actor is if they did theater before they hit it big and continue doing theater after. if they didn’t do theater before, then they are hacks and if they stop doing theater after, then they are dilettantes who lucked out. obviously this applies to all actors ever and there are no exceptions.

If your system doesn't account for the fact that Parents Are Going To Be Abusive/Neglectful/Insufficient then it objectively sucks I'm sorry I don't make the rules

Monitored bank accounts for those under 18. Requiring parental consent for medical procedures. Parental controls on personal devices. "We won't teach this at school because parents are supposed to address it at home." Anything that puts all of the child's power onto the parents' hand, anything that assumes parents are going to inherently do enough of a good job no one else needs to interfer, every single one of these IS going to be used by controlling, neglectful or unprepared parents and already are, and if the system did not account for that very real, tangible, dangerous tendency, then it's not worth fucking anything. You shouldn't make things "for the youth"/with children in mind if you are going to overlook this painfully common aspect of their lives u_u

wyllachstarion is so funny when you think that astarion's first choice to ~seduce and manipulate~ would be karlach because she's strong but so nice (which makes her look naive in astarion's eyes at first) and she basically gets along with everyone so she's the Perfect Target. but uh oh he can't even have sex with her!!! then he's like ughhhhh fineeee i will go try my luck with the other bleeding heart foolish hero of the group i guess. and then he cant even have sex with him either!!!! what the fuck is wrong with these people!!!!! and the funniest part is he falls in love with both of them. literally the most failcringe vampire seduction manipulation attempt ever.
