Can someone explain to me what the difference is between my inbox and messages? Why would they be separate things? Shouldn't my messages be arriving in my inbox? Is this one of my grandpa moments?
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.
I am chipping away at this chapter, putting way too much pressure on myself, writing and then discarding vast swathes of words, scowling at my monitor, not doing my job.
I just need to be done with this story so I can step off the angsty smut train for a hot minute and rejoin the world. I don’t want to sleep on it, give it time. I want to finish it, and finish it perfectly.
Have some respect
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.
tumblr irl meetup but we won't say who is who, instead you get a list of all the blog urls that are attending and you have to try to match each person with their blog. You can ask questions but you can't ask for the blog name directly.
it's like crime dinner but instead you gather clues by observing who laughs at which dick jokes.
I agree but not for reasons, I just feeeeeeel it.
LISTEN TO ME RN OKAY
the reason why in my head cait is absolutely a top and vi is a bottom (who is often a service top for reasons i will explain) is because like- psychology. it just makes sense.
cait in season 1 was already having to fight for her position as an enforcer to be taken seriously. she was underestimated for years, but she went against the explicit restrictions given to her just to prove she was amazing at her job. shes the one who took charge throughout almost all of her little mission with vi, she just wasnt street smart but she sure as hell was the leader and is meant to be one.
vi is, at her core, a bottom. inside, she really does want nothing more than to be taken care of because nobody ever does that. but she takes it upon herself to care for others, to always be the giver, because thats what shes conditioned herself to do. but i think a lot of us know that shes just a sad woman who really needs a hug and someone to remind her that she is worth more than what she can give and that she doesnt always have to be the one to do it.
so yea im right, all of those who disagree are stupid /lh
