NYT has been discouraging reporters from sharing photos of luigi mangione - not due to concerns for his safety but to dissuade sympathy - and refuses to post his alleged manifesto in full. and today, they published an opinion by bret stephens about how brian thompson is the "real working class hero" of this story.
reddit deleted luigi's account, which was completely innocuous and consisted mostly of him giving out advice in health subreddits. they're also deleting any post that includes his alleged manifesto and banning users for sharing it.
luigi yelled that this was "an insult to the intelligence of the american people" while he was being dragged by police and news pundits are framing it as a deranged and violent outburst. news media are picking apart details of his life to paint him as a cold-blooded and mentally ill individual. even something as innocent as playing "among us" with friends is being framed as some insidious look into an assassin's disturbed psyche, ffs.
news media are also capitalizing on luigi's supposed "bizarre and impossible to understand" politics as an obvious way to paint him as a scary individual when the guy is... a centrist, at most. whose views are similar to those of your average college-educated white guy.
multiple news media also keep harping on about how luigi comes from a rich family. an obvious attempt to break the class solidarity that's been formed around this case by continuously trying to tell us "oh he's not like you guys" while ignoring the now pretty well-documented accounts of his multiple health struggles throughout the years.
and all this, and he hasn't even been found guilty of the crime he's allegedly committed. luigi is, as of right now, still innocent until proven guilty. and the news are trying to tear him apart because they obviously fear the symbol he's becoming for low and middle class america.
Not even Alastor can get away with leaving blood stains on the rug for the third time that week.
Headcanon: Niffty and Rosie are the only ones who can get on Alastor’s case and he’ll actually listen

Do yall remember a fic on ao3 a couple of years ago w the Toph/Sokka pairing? It was 17 chapters and it started with Toph finding out she was pregnant after Kanto cheated on her. Her and Sokka are moving into a house together by ch 17. There was a subplot about Azula causing trouble and being jealous that zuko viewed toph as his younger sister...I've been looking for it for months but I think the author deleted it😩
Shallan once famously failed to convince the Stick to become fire. But how might other characters approach this stick-y problem?

Kaladin: No. This is…wrong.
Kaladin: This Stick wants to be a Stick. And I will protect it!
