Road work ahead? Uh, yeah, I sure hope it does

Sooo, if I’m understanding this correctly: Felix can apologize off-screen and have his crimes hand-waved away, which means by the same logic Chloe, whose crimes are significantly less severe than the ones Felix willingly and happily committed, should be able to do the same too.

Jokes aside, Astruc really is showing his priorities here. After all Felix gets to apologize off-screen and then everyone immediately moves on from his sins, which, again, include actual genocide that joyfully committed and helping a magical super-terrorist on his own free will & without being manipulated and groomed. Meanwhile, poor Sabrina is forced to spends months as a social outcast, with nearly everyone refusing to give her a chance, despite the fact that she was literally the sole reason Marinette was able to expose Lila back in Season 5, thus prevent their education from being fucked over.

Secondly, have added Urbosa, Daruk and Revali.

Thirdly, the outcome of a bunch of people asking for new hairstyles has made itself apparent, and they are all uglier (Snap made themselves blond, Lily gave herself a Rowdy Ruffians haircut and Frozen now has spiky purple hair (the real Frozen, upon consultation, commented "what the sigma")).

One of their parents is a celebrity who abandoned them when they were little (Jagged and Audrey) but the main differences is that Juleka didn't know until reccently who is dad was while Chloe had to live knowing who her mother was and that she isn't good enough for her

Chloe lived in lussuries but didn't have the emotional support from her family while Juleka lived in pooverty but have her mother and her brother as emotional support

Andrè is a corrupted politician while Anarka despise politic figures

Both their parents get akumatized togheter (crocoduel & love eater)

They also both have a sibiling who came out out of nowhere and steal their spotlight (Luka and Zoe)

Jagged and Audrey seem to prefer their sibilings over them

They also have opposite relationship with their sibilings

They match names with their family ( Juleka-Luka-Anarka | Chloe-Zoe )

They both are really insecure about themself

Both of them want to be seen from others, in Chloe's case specifically from her mother while in Juleka's case she doesn't want to be invisible from others

2. I spend a lot of time online, secretly, and am exposed–for the first time–to the fact that it’s weird that I share a room and bed with my dad and am not allowed anywhere else 

3. My dad brings me to a corn field and tells me obama is the anti-christ who’s been sent by god to end the world, as foretold by the bible. I believe this and cry when he’s elected because i don’t want to die 

4. I begin googling and discover that my situation is not great. I begin a careful attempt to ~distance~ myself from my father by sleeping anywhere else through any means possible. Eventually, I’m allowed to sleep in my own room

5. Now that I’ve been exposed to the real world and the fact that I’ve been groomed, I’m not ~obedient~ anymore and my dad Dips(™) to find a new kid. We lose our house and have to move to government housing in a new city 

6. Eventually my parents divorce because of this. My dad moves to a horse ranch. I visit him on the horse ranch, think it’s cool, and invite my friends over for a sleepover. I have my first gay kiss with a girl in a tent. The next day my father tries to ~kill~ me on the horse ranch(™) with a golf cart

7.My dad disappears from the face of the earth. He forgets his phone is connected to the family iMac. We know all about the crimes he is committing. He fakes a heart attack in a Wal-Mart at some point, idk

8. The FBI is onto his life of crime. He flees to Romania to escape them and lives with a millionaire Romanian woman. She’s suspicious of him after a while. She hires a private investigator and unearths his life of lies and crime. He flees to Alaska. He gets a roommate in Alaska. The roommate goes to federal prison. We never hear from my father again. He is, perhaps, dead.

If you have sexual dysfunction, its considered a taboo, a hush-hush condition, something to never be spoken of. A failure, a humiliation.

All of the "can't get them wet", "can't get them to orgasm," "can't get it up in bed", "only lasts two minutes in bed" jokes, dismissing the real people with sexual dysfunction, the real people struggling. How do you think they feel, hearing these "jokes"?

If you have fertility complications, it's considered something to be pitied for, a "failure of a man", "failure of a woman", "failure of a person", a "waste of your genetic line."

If you have complications with urination or defecation, it's considered gross or belittling. Nobody wants to hear about it, nobody wants to acknowledge it, and God forbid you have an accident in public - then everyone's eyes are on you, judging or pitying.

And menstrual & perinatal disabilities just aren't taken seriously. If you have debilitating menstrual cycles, for example, its brushed off as "typical" or "an exaggeration."

taping it to my mirror

BTW

you have to be kinder to people who are slow processors.

you have to be kinder to people who don't understand your jokes.

you have to be kinder to people who forget important dates.

you have to be kinder to people with cognitive decline.

you have to be kinder to people who were always this way, too.

Panel one: "hard to love" simple drawing of a cat curled up on a cane "disability and cats"

Panel two: "sometimes, i think i'm hard to love" drawing of a person with shortish hair sitting on the ground facing away from the viewer "my body doesn't work like it's supposed to"

Panel three: drawing of the same person hunched over what looks like maybe a calendar with their head in their hand and question marks over their head "I forget things" "I move slow" drawing of the same person walking with a bag and a cane. Drawing of the same person hunched over to grab something off the floor with their hand on their back and lines indicating pain coming off of them "it hurts to do things most people do easily"

Panel four: "my cat's body also doesn't work like it's supposed to" drawing of a cat with part of one ear missing sitting up and looking at the viewer

Panel five: "he doesn't remember things" Drawing of the same cat looking at the ground with question marks over his head indicating confusion with what looks like a food bowl in the background. I think this is meant to be the cat having trouble finding the food bowl. Drawing of the same cat falling gracelessly on his face. "he's clumsy" "he can't do things that other cats can do" drawing of the same cat stretching up towards what looks like a counter. I think this is meant to be the cat having trouble getting up on to the counter.

Panel six: "and i love him so much" drawing of the person holding the cat up, touching their faces together. there is a heart symbol above their heads likely indicating fondness, affection, or love

Panel seven: "so maybe" drawing of the person with the cat in their lap, petting him, facing the viewer this time "it's not too hard to love me"

At the start of my employment, my boss showed me videos of people stealing, and we both had a chuckle about it. How silly they were! There was a camera overhead, and it’s not to watch the shoppers. See, we can’t actually stop shoplifters. They get away with it maybe nine out of ten times. But we, who are watched and tallied and witnessed? We are always caught.

At first it was hard to hold one hundred dollars bills. An amount I had never seen before. An amount that didn’t exist in my household. It’s normal now. Here is something that is not for me.

“What the hell, I’ll take another,” says the man, pondering our 200 dollar watches. What the hell. Total comes to 580 and not even a flinch in his face. I have been working for 11 hours today and made only 110 dollars. It will go to my rent. Today I work for free, it feels. When I get my check, I will have 35 dollars left for food and saving.

The six hundreds he hands me go into the cash register. For a moment, I imagine having money. Then I put it away, counting out his change.

I know for a fact we sell our products for double what they are worth. That I could be making commission. That they could hand me those 580 dollars and change my life and not even mark the difference in their checkbooks. He’s not the only sale they make today, but I am the reason they made it. He’s not the only one spending 600 dollars, but if I hadn’t spent two hours with him telling me about his life, he wouldn’t have spent any. I go home. I don’t own a watch.

I have watched and rewatched a video on how to make salmon four ways. My shopping list is always the same. Pasta. Rice. Tuna. If I can afford butter it was a good week. I dream of the world I will never walk in, where I can throw the best fish fillet in the cart with a shrug. I hold hundreds in my hand and look up at the camera. I put them under the cash drawer.

I go to work. I scrap together my savings. I eat my bowl of rice slowly. My manager takes a paid week off from work just for his birthday. He owns a yacht. 

i was part of their college program. i moved to the state for it. they legally owned the building i was living in and still charged me rent. i ostensibly was being charged to work for them. it was a 2 bedroom apartment and they placed 6 adult women in it in forced triples.

as many as one in ten disney employees have experienced homelessness while working for the company. despite huge efforts to unionize, strike, or otherwise demand fair treatment; disney has refused to increase employee quality of life.

disney admits publicly that a good portion of their success is because the employees (“cast members”) are dedicated, passionate, and selfless. this is never reflected in pay. even “face” characters (ie those that are princesses etc) make barely above a minimum wage.

at the time that i worked there, i made $8.50 an hour. at one point i was asked to create a human shield around a bag because a bomb dog had alerted to it. for eight fucking dollars an hour.

i now work a very cushy office job. i have bought the salmon and cooked it all four ways.

i go to the store. i am nice to the person behind the counter. she looks up at the camera while she counts out my change. there is nothing fundamentally different about her and i.
