I've legit seen folks (mainly some c!techno apologists who try to argue that his character HAS experienced the narrative consequences everyone else wants him to) claim that c!Wilbur has "never been punished" and "always got what he wanted." And that take... Just baffles me. Because...

Are you speaking in narrative terms? Are you saying the narrative itself has never punished Wilbur? Because might I direct you to the fact that: Every harebrained scheme the man has ever concocted has ended in disaster. Every time he takes any action, the narrative curbstomps him with consequences. Oh? He thinks he can have an innocent drug van? He and his friends are targeted with violence from the police. He thinks he can achieve safety through a loophole by making his own nation? He thinks that, if challenged, he can just ignore the threat of war until it goes away? His opposition destroys the land, continuously brutally attacks them, uses an inside man to kill them while their guard is lowered, and generally grinds his men into the dust and would have succeeded in their attempts to snuff out their rebellion had Tommy not made a great personal sacrifice. He tries to hold a one-party election to get a firm grasp on authority? Political opponents spring up and challenge him, the man he brought in for an endorsement runs against him and wins and kills and exiles him. He tries to find peace in death? Hellish Train Limbo.

This man fucking breathes wrong and the narrative is like "hmmmm. I think. He needs to suffer some consequences for that." (Which I love)

Or maybe you're talking about the idea that he was "escaping consequences" with his death? That he wanted to die and so him committing assisted suicide isn't really a consequence or a punishment? And to that not only may I again direct you back to "the man wanted to find peace in death only to find himself trapped in a hellish train limbo," but also... Is that really how you see suicide? When someone commits suicide, do you not feel anything negative about it because "well, they wanted to die, so they just got what they wanted?" I'd hope bet no. I'd hope bet you still feel bad for folks who kill themselves, you still think that dying-- even by suicide, even if that's what the person "wanted"-- is something bad. I'd hope bet you still recognize that the emotional state leading up to a person committing suicide is one of great suffering. So why is Wilbur any different? Why is his suffering suddenly erased, his death made out to be a positive for him or a grand success, just because "well, he wanted to die. He got what he wanted"?

Like sure. Wilbur wasn't executed or imprisoned for his crimes. But is that the only way you can conceptualize punishment? Consequences? Does it have to be systemic or connected to a government to matter? And just because it wasn't, does that mean Wilbur was not punished enough? Did not suffer enough? Did not experience the harsh consequences of his actions?

And hmmm. Doesn't that sound... familiar, actually? Doesn't that sound like... a certain self-destructive mentally ill man's own views on himself? Doesn't that sound like the mindset of a man desperate for punishment, a man who is being framed within the text as showcasing his self-harming traits-- as being incorrect-- in expressing that mindset?

Dont ignore

Hi tumblr, im not seeing any mention of this over here right now so I'd like to help spread awareness here too since this really needs to be addressed.

About 2 to 3 days ago, police brutally killed latjor tuel, a black man suffering from mental illness and was having an episode when he was killed, and then proceeded to leave his body in the streets for 8 hours.

They're trying to justify killing him, but there was no reason for his death period, he was a man having an episode with his mental illness and all he was supposedly "armed" with was a STICK.

Latjor tuel did not deserve to die like this at all, what the police did to him and the state they left him in is not justifiable whatsoever. This treatment of black people cannot go on.

PLEASE, donate to the families GFM if you can:

I just want to remind everyone that it was Deku hitting that sludge fucker in the eye with his backpack that made the villain ease up, something that any of the 6ish pro heroes on the scene could have fucken done at any fucken point.

That was a calculated move, Deku was not being entirely reckless. He moved before he had a plan yes but he had the know how to back that impulse up.

Also the main reason why the pros were hesitating was because of Bakugos explosions, which he drop almost as soon as he realized Deku was heading for him, then the backpack hit the villain and Bakugo got what was probably his first full breaths of free air in several minutes and was able to regroups himself while Deku continued try to keep his airway free

Inconclusion, Bakugo most certainly would have died without Deku that day and those pros on scene weren’t worth the spandex wasted on their costumes 😤

You try hitting wiggle target while running through fire towards your dying friend and land the blow, then tell me that was all pure impulse

Either Deku is as naturally born for heroism as AM is made out to be or he’s practiced his moves more than this fandom gives him credit for

matching sweaters!

thinking about when i was small, how my mom told me that pipe cleaners were just a tool until people started idly shaping things with them and it grew so popular that they were marketed as crafting materials. and that story about how the original frisbees were disposable pie plates that students flattened to throw. and how when i was a child i had a wooden mancala set with shiny, colorful stones, but on invention it was played with rocks and grooves dug into the dirt. and middle school, paper football and tic-tac-toe and mash and mad libs, games that just need pen and paper. and before that, games of pretend with pirates and princes and masked marauders. how at slumber parties after lights out, we used to whisper storytelling games, i say one sentence and you say the next. and shadow puppets. and the way all the kids in the neighborhood used to divide into teams and throw fallen pine cones at one another. and the floor is lava game, and the quiet game, and the games i play with my coworkers that are just words and retention. and "put a finger down" on the high school bus. and little girls clapping together, and how the first jump-rope was undoubtedly just a length of rope who knows how long ago, and how natural it is to play, how we seek play at every age and with any resources we have and with whatever time we can squeeze it into in a day. i'm not an anthropologist or a psychologist but i think after food and shelter and water and air what comes next is games and stories and laughter. i think that there is nothing -- not sex or fighting or forming unlikely bonds with animals -- there is nothing more human than to play.
