Okay. Denji’s Pov In “All Circuits Are Busy” And Why It’s Written Like That. Let’s Talk About

When I started this tumblr I made the private decision to only post about my fics and nothing else. I said it would be the one space where I’d be “selfish,” the one place where it’ll be about the joy of my hobby and nothing else.

But over the past few days, I’ve watched trans creators who thought they were safe in this fandom come to the stark and heartbreaking realization that they’re not. And that’s emblematic of so many marginalized groups realizing that the thin veneer of safety that they thought they had in the world is being ripped apart at a terrifying pace.

Fanfic, at its best, is an anticapitalist, anti conformist, transformative, radically accepting, and imaginative art form, but that’s only true if the people within it are equally committed to that ethos and each other.

In other words, practice what you preach and don’t be an asshole.

yuuttaaa!!! 🩵

*kicks feet* uhuh yes, it’s a time loop fic *giggles* oh yes, yes, it’s horrid. Absolutely sick. *twirls cup of coffee* of course it can only end badly, who do tou take me for?

it's extremely critical that you see the photo of the perp walk for luigi mangione as being propaganda. i've seen so many people wave it off and instead fawn over his looks. and trust me, i know it ended up being kind of pathetic and weird - but please don't brush it off as a "modelling opportunity" for him. it's a fucking terrifying message the police are sending.

i want to make a few comparisons here, in case you're not from the US or familiar with why the perp walk thing is something to pay attention to. just to set the groundwork for why this is a purposeful, unusual, and cruel act by the nyc police - for why this is not a common occurrence and for why that matters.

the prosecution alleges the show of force is due to the charge of "terrorism." for comparison, in june 2015, tsarnaev was found guilty for the boston marathon bombing, which killed 3 people and injured hundreds. his actions are considered to be an act of domestic terrorism. i have spent the last hour looking through google for pictures of similar to mangione's perp walk - and so far, i have found zero. i also just do not personally remember a moment like that, despite living in boston at the time.

they allege that luigi is a stone-cold killer who carried out a longterm plan, making him particularly dangerous. again for comparison: in nyc, recently cory martin was found guilty of the killing of brandy odom. the murder was planned and premeditated to steal insurance money. and yet no staged perp walk. why didn't her life matter enough for a "show of force"?

but mangione gets paraded by a veritable army of police officers as if he is a rabid animal. for a single citizen who allegedly killed one other single citizen, the "largest perp walk ever" occurs.

so what is the "strong message" that the mayor and the police were trying to send here? the mayor speaks as if mangione is already convicted of terrorism. there is a very thin number of people who feel threatened by the CEO's death. none of us felt like mangione needs to be under massive armed guard.

the message is that you shouldn't resist. they are trying to "make an example" of him - that if you behave badly and kill a single rich person, you'll be treated as if you killed hundreds of people. you will be treated worse than a man who was found guilty of terrorism. you will be considered guilty without trial. the message is that the rich are a protected class, and you cannot touch them without massive punishment. they are trying to prevent a revolution by showing dominance and force against you.

the message is that the police are a puppet of the wealthy and that the law is not equally applied across class disparity. it is "some are more equal than others." it is "one life is more precious than another."

the show of force wasn't for luigi. it was for us. it was a warning. they are trying to remind us who is really in control.

sleepless nights but a beautiful sunrise

hey do you remember when shipping was supposed to be fun and people didn't stereotype a black woman to be angry and manipulative. and people didn't stereotype a disabled man to be a pure baby who has done nothing and clearly can't help himself. and people didn't stereotype a smart man of color as incapable of making a decision without someone telling him what to do usually in the role of a partner? me neither. do you think we can stop tho because none of us are even having fun with it

it's okay, son
