@happybabysloth yeah but like who's gonna know. who's gonna know he's wearing red. definitely not these guys, he's invited <3

an intellectually disabled main character with agency who's treated like a human being and not a prop to teach a lesson

female characters who are allowed to be just as crass as the male characters

a straight ship made up of "i hate my girlfriend" jokes slowly developing into a compelling examination of grief and learning to let go that made me get emotional by the end

a well handled and fascinating depiction of a traumagenic did system

the military being depicted as not just a corrupt system that dehumanizes groups of people and places them on arbitrary sides, brainwashes people into thinking that they're fighting for the greater good while the government sacrifices lives for personal gain and profit, but also as incompetent and pathetic with those in power being shown as manchildren not acting for some greater mission but only impulsively acting for their own selfish desires

the lead singer of the barenaked ladies secretly being an evil sociopath and being the reason florida doesnt exist

a man giving birth to a halo alien before it gets kidnapped to get turned into a messiah figure before getting exploded by a homophobic bomb

this is a story about how you can't keep chasing ghosts forever. there's alien/human mpreg.

holding onto the past is holding you back - you have to learn to let go and say goodbye. ed robertson from the barenaked ladies plays a guy who (jokingly?) tells his soldiers that if he weren't their CO he'd make them call him daddy.

family isn't always defined by appearances and you may find it in those you least expect. the aliens speak entirely in blargs and honks.

everything we do is driven by love - love for your current companions and loves that have been lost along the way. it has one of the most intense and longest running queer-baits i've ever personally witnessed.

veterans aren't given the proper support to be able to return to a civilian life, and this systemic issue causes problems for everyone in all levels of society. there's a homophobic bomb.

you can't change what's happened to you and the ones you love; you just have to find a way to keep moving forward. one of the main characters only speaks in poorly translated spanish.

everyone has the capacity to change and be better. it has two (completely unrelated) insanely complicated time travel plots, and they’re both only dubiously canon.

it's an incredible piece of media and proof that you can create something magical with the limited tools available to you. there are chunks of it that are borderline unwatchable.

But the trolls' story is different. From the start, even before the game, the troll session is characterized as plagued with infighting, conflict and interpersonal drama. Three deaths and numerous injuries happen before they even reach the victory door. While the humans' side of the coin is about finding a way to win despite impossible odds, the trolls find their victory destroyed and impossible odds unfairly thrust upon them at the last moment. Only two of them make god tier, their reward, planets, hives, extra lives and possessions are all destroyed by Jack's rampage, then a bunch of them snap and their team is cut down to at best a third its size, permanently. Their session is gone, their planet is gone, the majority of their friends are gone and infinite versions of their ghosts become laserbreath fodder for Lord English. The trolls' story isn't one of victory, its one of trying to minimize losses and, for the most part, failing.

girl really said "hey haha welcome to my home where all of you meet the qualifications for conjunx. may the best mech win!"

with that, let me get to the facts. my very dear friends ebony & azul have been experiencing housing instability for years. last summer we saw them off as they left to make the effort to create permanent housing for themselves and other black disabled people. unfortunately, climate crisis, car issues, racism, and other hardships have been slapping them both in the face the whole time. they made the decision to pursue other housing situations for the time being.

one of those housing situations... is me! yaaay wheeee! i am pretty broke, but i'm just not-broke enough to be able to rent a place with a spare room. unfortunately, we had to delay this as they had a bedbug scare and i can't afford physically or financially to deal with an infestation (i'm operating with only half of my total arms rn due to injury, RIP lefty). ebony decided to expedite moving to china, and is there working their butt off on the job search. i would like to get azul moved in with my wife and i, because it's still on the table! we need to help ebony keep surviving, and to help azul fix up their car, eat and live, and nuke bedbugs. to that end, check out this chuffed campaign! there's less than 1k to the current goal! ✨

One of these violations of the ceasefire was directed at my dear friend Fadel (@fadel-danii) on November 16.

Now he is terribly sick from the wet and cold. He's been vomiting and suffering with a high fever for days. He is already disabled from a blood disorder, and constantly worrying if he can afford his next month's medication.

It feels awful to be sick in the best of conditions, and he is sick while displaced, injured, living out of a tent with unreliable access to food, water, and medicine, and fearing genocidal violence from the occupation.

How can you get enough rest and drink lots of fluids when you are in these conditions?

“The widely circulated timeline created by @Zerflin does a great job in showing how recently slavery & segregation occurred & that they lasted longer than the modern era. 

“I'd like to offer this timeline as another way of viewing the same period of history to show the constancy of both Black resistance in US & efforts of the white power structure to maintain racial caste since 1619.”
