3. Actively Soothing Myself When I Realize That My Character Took Their Coffee With Cream In Chapter

Unless you're the parent of a small child, in which weekends are like a warzone and actually you never get your errands done and the only thing you enjoy is scrolling on your phone on the toilet with the door locked while a six year screams from the other side of the door, "Baba! It's time for kitty school!!"

Any time the discourse seems simple and binary, it is certainly wrong.

Part of the frustration we have with the whole “Caitlyn is a dictator!” argument is because it ignores Ambessa.

Martial Law was already declared by Ambessa and the Piltover Elite BEFORE Caitlyn was nominated to be general. Do you guys remember how Mel was tracking what Ambessa was doing behind the scene with rallying together Piltover elite to unify before Jinx’s terrorist attack? Caitlyn didn’t declare martial law, Caitlyn was put in charge of martial law.

Caitlyn was shoved into that role when she was the most vulnerable and most easily manipulated. And she spends the greater half of the rest of the season PUSHING BACK against Ambessa’s rhetoric. Every fucking scene we get with her is her challenging and standing up to Ambessa. The ONLY time we see her falter is when Jinx is involved in the prison break because Jinx is the only thing she’s actually after.

Caitlyn has no use for Stillwater’s deepest dungeons. Caitlyn despises Singe for unleashing Shimmer on Zaun’s people. Caitlyn refuses to arrest people without probable cause. Caitlyn suspects Ambessa is up to something and actively investigated and betrays her when she figures out what it is.

What Caitlyn did is bad. But she’s not HITLER. She’s not even an Elon Musk. And your willful blaming of her when Ambessa is RIGHT THERE PULLING THE STRINGS shows me that 1) you don’t understand the story being told, 2) care more about performative moralizing than genuine critique, and 3) are very likely homophobic.

As a Canadian living in the US, yes.

It is kind of funny how Canadian patriotism had been on the decline for decades right up until Donald Trump uttered the Manchurian Candidate trigger phrase "51st state" and sent it automatically and reflexively shooting back up.

Numbers are arbitrary, but this still makes me happy.

No. Sorry but she has to live. Dead lesbians in media are stacked to the ceiling.

Also Vi should have been allowed to die. Stop taking her family from her. Let her go with them.

I've posted the penultimate chapter of my smutty A/B/O CaitVi x Oc trainwreck, in case anyone's interested. I might actually finish a multichapter story - it will be the first time in my life, not for lack of trying.

My new favorite comment? "That really rustles my jimmies"

Look it’s me
