also, america is not "mostly good." we have footage of ICE rounding people up off of the streets and kidnapping them. do you..read? do you interact with the world at all? or is it nicer for you to look away and pretend we aren't sending people in droves to guantanamo bay to be horrifically tortured and murdered?
America is a republic. While the actions of the current regime are regrettable, I am confident that in time they will be replaced by a responsible government. Considering the economic disaster that is currently plaguing the nation, I have absolutely no doubt that the Republicans will lose the next election. That is the strength of the democratic system.
people not seeing lottienat is so funny to me when lottie canonically spends her whole life desperately trying to keep nat alive and then when nat dies lottie immediately goes "right okay time to ragebait a teenager into killing me"
May? Don’t you mean Prairial?
would you do the ice bucket challenge to raise funds for the Republic
Ice is a limited resource during the warmer months, citizen. Surely you don't suggest I cover myself in ice during the winter? I mean, I once walked under the rain for two hours to cool off after a particularly excruciating meeting with the generals in Thuin, but it was in late May.
Can we just acknowledge that Lottie is the only person we ever see Nat accept comfort from? Throughout the series, in both timelines, Nat suffers alone and in silence. Travis reaches out to touch her after both Javi and Coach Ben’s deaths, but she walks past him in both instances. When she finds Travis’ body, Misty attempts to comfort her but Nat pushes her away. Whenever Nat breaks down, she turns inward, shutting others out instead of seeking connection. Nowhere is this more evident than in the final moments of 3x09, when she begins to sob and everyone around her vanishes, leaving her utterly alone. It’s a visual metaphor for the profound isolation that defines how Nat experiences pain.
Given the nature of Nat’s home environment, I don’t think she ever learned how to accept tenderness and physical intimacy beyond sex. It’s foreign to her. And, on a deeper level, I think she doesn’t believe she deserves this kind of intimacy and unconditional care.
But, in this moment with Lottie, she finally allows herself to be held. For what might be the first time in her life, she feels safe enough to surrender, to lean into someone else’s care without flinching. She even feels safe enough to regress to a younger version of herself, a form of healing her inner child as she lays her head on Lottie’s lap. We see Nat engage in simple hello or goodbye hugs (or moments of sexual intimacy) with other characters, but Lottie is truly the only character Nat physically embraces in this unguarded, emotionally vulnerable way.
no I actually hate kids.
you don't "hate kids," you hate being forced into a caretaking role.
you don't "hate kids," you hate censorship passed off as family values.
you don't "hate kids," you hate the constrictiveness of the nuclear family.
you don't "hate kids," you're just not used to occupying fully age diverse spaces so you're not used to the noise or the many different kinds of needs.
you don't "hate kids," most public spaces just aren't built for kids, and so the few kids you see are always uncomfortable and distressed.
you don't "hate kids," you hate the intense social rules assigned to kids and anyone who interacts with kids.
You don't "hate kids," you hate how society reproduces its most restrictive elements and how kids are powerless to resist it.

sometimes I go on rule 34 and read out the comments in the voice Drew Gooden uses when he’s reading the titles of bad movies.
people who call him Mark Antony should be shot I think. he doesn’t work at the fucking Greggs down the street!!! he was a consul of Rome!!!
if you must shorten Marcus Antonius, then at least latinize it a bit! Make it Marc Antony! It looks so much better!
Hello, tumblr user. Before you is a tumblr post asking you to name a female fictional character. You have unlimited time to tag a female character, NOT a male one.
Begin.
