Hey, I’m the author of this fanfic. Just making a tumblr so people can link fanart cause someone said they want to make some.
while i think graveyards are nice and im glad they exist bc they mean a lot to some people but i personally just find them more of a nuisance. like why do i have to tend someones grave. that person is not there. it's literally just a glorofied sandbox that cost 500 euros to make and then i have to keep going there to upkeep it ??? no fucking way . why couldn't we just have chucked the goddamn dust into the ocean or under a forest or something. if i want to remember my dad i'll think about him not go to a graveyard
Bold of you to assume it’s only 500 euros…well maybe in EU it is, but in America that shit costs THOUSANDS, plus they upsell you on the coffin…
Once again I'm thinking about Richas being rushed and not supposed to be seen in the state they found him
I honestly think Richas was supposed to be the egg given to the french.
Isn’t it also canon that his shirt was given to him by Forever? So he would have had no defining features either
It is!! Its both the explanation to why his shirt doesn't perfectly fit him (unlike bobbys overall) and why forever spent the first days without a shirt
Lol giving Forever more reasons to be a nudist XD

I like this theory. I’m gonna add some more later!
Anonymous asked:
About your after thought richas thought, maybe I am picky but it always bothered me a bit they described him as manco but he never had two legs pra mancar in first place, but with that thought, maybe before the hushing in to give richarlyson to the brazlians they did see some deformity and end up amputating that leg? Maybe, idk if federation knows what a safe amputation even implies
Fun fact!! It was Nussa (Chay's admin) that said that Richas was manco/had a bad leg because Ricardão wasn't the one acting as Richas during the first day (its why Richas used the yellow signs). So it was probably a bad translation that made Richard (as we call First Day Richas) call himself manco, but later on Richas showed that he actually didn't have an entire part of his leg
Also ngl i dont think the Feds even know what a safe medical procedure is
Oh god did they even give him anesthesia? What if Richarlyson/first day Richas was awake? More potential angst!
Just noticed one of the lines showing the principles in the Tree of Wisdoms has been scribbled out by the Suppression Bureau. Based off the purplish pink colour and the fact that it's the only one not represented, it's gotta be Secret Histories, suggesting the primary arts dealing with it are horomachistry, birdsong, and preservation.
Makes sense, horo for obvious connection to the nature of the hours, preservation for maintaining the state of the world, and birdsong for being so goddamn cryptic.
Maybe if we reblog both at once JK Rowling will finally croak.
i really really hate liberals who do volunteering for orgs that help the homeless and then write thinkpieces about how a lot of homeless people are very educated and hardworking and its not at all their fault that theyre unhoused like. even if ur hypothetical homeless person is addicted to every drug abused their whoever commited many crimes and their situation is every bit their fault. no one deserves to live on the street.
what walking/cycling around the city every night with a bike basket full of sandwiches accompanied only by another volunteer for almost a yeat has taught ME is that in the winter its really cold and after an hour we both wanted to go in anywhere warm, but every single business requires you to be a paying customer to sit inside, subway stations have staff that chase you away if youre sitting there long enough and even heating vents have spikes on them, and that in the summer its incredibly hot even at night and cops chase you away from fountains and the city is full of tourists and partying people that make it impossible to sleep on benches and that in the spring it rains and in the fall it also rains and that your only source of food is going to be a couple of teenagers and uni students volunteering in their spare time to make you a sandwich. and my conclusion from this, is what everyones conclusion should be. this is inhumane and no one deserves to live this way
poll time!!
please reblog with your answer and country!!
i, for example, have fired a gun, and am from canada.
enjoy!!
edit to say: air rifles, bb guns, paintball markers, etc, DO NOT COUNT. only REAL firearms (as in gunpowder powered) count.
Yeah, US. When I was a child I went to 4H club, which is this summer camp nonprofit thing that’s pretty religious and pretty farm focused/rural and one of the activities was “marksmanship”, which I first thought was archery (which all my other summer camps had) but turned out to be rifles. I shot 5 bullets out of a 22mm rifle. They had us shoot laying down at paper targets and kept track of each bullet, shell, and the rifles were secured on these wooden holder things and made sure each kid was shooting straight ahead (even though we couldn’t move the guns that much anyway). We had shooting range earmuffs, which worked really well. Afterwards, we got to take home some of the shell casings and our paper targets.
All in all, it was about as safe as having a bunch of 9-12 year olds shoot guns could be. I was a really bad shot. I only hit the ring once, and hit the paper 3 times. Two of my shots went wide into the forest.
I’ve never had good aim. I blame my shit eyes. XD
That was the one and only time I’ve shot a gun. Honestly, I’d be a bad choice for a ranged weapon cause I’d miss or do a friendly fire. I’ll stick with shit like tasers and pepper spray and knives.
a redemption poll from that last dog name one i did:
reblog for a larger sample <3
Something that I've personally wondered about for a long time.
You know the drill. Reblog for sample size.
you can shit on cannibalism all you want but who aches for you so morbidly that the only way they feel satiated in loving you is to consume you?
Cannibalism and body horror are something special in media, like, I fucking love that scene in The Things They Carried when Jimmy is reading and rereading that letter from Martha and thinks about how he misses her so fucking much he wants to touch her, to hug her, to be hugged by her so much he literally crawls under her ribcage and is hugged by her ribs and cradles her organs and never has to be lonely and miss being able to just touch someone again.
And that’s that’s fucking raw, okay? That’s a hard ass scene, and something very human. It’s normal for our brains to ache for human connection in a quirky cannibal or murderous way. We’re a social species. We need others, or we go insane in predictable ways. And media about cannibalism, even disturbing media like thriller romances told from the point of view of a psychopath, are a good way to explore this part of human psyche without getting kuru.
In the god au, Pac is another human cause as funny as it is if I use the canon lore of the characters and have Cellbit eat a god's leg, I had a better idea. It's an inverse of eldritch!Pac, with Mike now as the semi-immortal god and Pac as his specialest little mortal. And the thought of some force, perhaps the code being a new form of an ancient enemy of the gods and the Federation some sort of group trying to cage down the gods, but one of them stealing away Pac... right from under Mike's nose? Oh the godly wrath would be exquisite...
if i heard that a woman aborted a fetus because prenatal screening had revealed a disability that i shared, i would simply not shame her

RIP to people who think bodily autonomy is conditional but im different

i’ve been getting a lot of comments/questions about this post. some is good, some is bad. i’ve decided not to respond individually and instead say:
- i said what i said. i wasn’t confused about saying it.
- if i found out a woman had aborted a fetus because she found out that fetus had a disability that i have—disabilities that i have firsthand knowledge of being painful, difficult to live with, and often resource-intensive—i would not be angry with her. i would not feel like she doesn’t think people like me should not be alive (unless she actually said so).
- fetuses are not little potential “you”s. projecting your own anxieties onto a woman’s abortion (”i wouldn’t have wanted to be aborted” is common reasoning in plenty of pro-life circles; it’s not better here) is invasive and nonsensical.
- bodily autonomy isn’t conditional. you don’t know a woman’s exact reason for abortion and you don’t need to. women’s rights to abortion need to be protected, even if you feel icky about some potential reasoning behind an abortion, which you aren’t even fully privy to in the first place.
- disabled people should always be in the care of people who have the resources and desire to take care of them. insisting that disabled children be born simply to ease your own moral qualms with abortion is frankly unethical in my opinion, resources are often very slim for disabled people. not to mention our quality of life is often just lower in general. you can argue all you want in the notes about “mild” disabilities but you aren’t the arbiter of what constitutes a mild enough disability to make an abortion terrible and immoral and shame-worthy.
- women aren’t vessels. regardless of how morally pure you feel your crusade is, they simply aren’t.
- speaking as a disabled person, energy is literally always better spent on changing society—by increasing resources for caretakers and disabled people alike, speaking frankly about quality of life, correcting notions about what disabled people’s lives are like, punishing mistreatment of actual disabled people [not potential ones], and putting research into easing the pain/suffering of people as much as possible—than it is on getting mad about women getting abortions. and it isn’t just better spent that way, it’s just immoral to do the latter.
- in conclusion: RIP to people who think bodily autonomy is conditional but im different.
If I believe that everyone should be able to access abortion, at any time, for any reason - and I do! - then that’s also allowing that people may have abortions for reasons I disagree with - and it is none of my fucking business, because it’s not my body.
How would that even work? How could you even enforce that? “Anyone can have an abortion EXCEPT you, because your fetus would be born with a disability”? That’s just nonsensical.
I’m disabled and I’m sick of those anti-bodily autonomy assholes using disabled people as a prop - or those same people using “disabled children” as a euphemism to mean a fetus with fetal abnormalities that are incompatible with life, as a way to prevent people from accessing abortions later in pregnancy.
RIP to people who think bodily autonomy is conditional but I’m different.
No forced pregnancy or forced birth is moral. I don’t care why the force is being applied.
You can advocate for more resources and education so more people are able to care for a disabled child
AND
support complete bodily autonomy and a person’s right to choose in all cases. Even if you personally don’t like it
You can support two things
Throwing my own two cents into this debate:
I think a lot of people get trapped in the linguistic fallacy of “what if my mom aborted me?”
The problem with that phrasing is that, if your mother did have an abortion instead of having “you”, that’s not you. You are the entity that was born at that time, in that place, under those circumstances, and who grew up in whatever circumstances you grew up in, as it happened.
If something different happened, then you wouldn’t be you. You would be someone else. We are, philosophically and biologically speaking based on our neurology, a collection of memories. You are you because of what happened o you, what you learned, what you unlearned, what you relearned, what you do, and also what body you are in.
At least, that’s how I see it, it I know I have a…a guess materialistic way of looking at the world? I like to call it being very atheist, to the point where the way religious people describe souls is how I talk about the body. I am me because my brain has these synapses and I have this body and I was born on this date to these humans and have lived this long. My mom had three pregnancies (at least, that she knew of, but imma stop before I go on a rant about how it’s probably really fucking common for people to get pregnant for like twenty minutes and then the body detects a chromosome error and destroys it) the first she adopted out, the second she aborted, and the third is me. She has all sorts of maternal grief over each of these decisions, but into this day say I am okay with her sometimes wishing she aborted “me” because that wouldn’t have been me. How could it be me?
I am this bag of flesh. I can mold it, shape it, accidents can happen, bits can be removed with or without my will but I can only be this one. I cannot be any other.
And neither can you. Isn’t that a relief? You belong to you, and no one or thing can change that.
