Ah, time for my one Pride joke: I was talking to a conservative the other day and they asked me “How come Pride has to be in the summer? It should be in September when the kids are back in school and don’t have to see it” but I pointed out it’s right there in the bible, Pride cometh before the Fall

Honestly something that bothers me more than most things is having my compassion mistaken for naivety.

I know that another fish might eat this bullfrog right after I spend months rehabilitating it.

I know that turning a beetle back onto its legs won’t save it from falling over again when I walk away.

I know that there is no cosmic reward waiting for my soul based on how many worms I pick off a hot sidewalk to put into the mud, or how many times I’ve helped a a raccoon climb out of a too-deep trashcan. 

I know things suffer, and things struggle, and things die uselessly all day long. I’m young and idealistic, but I’m not literally a child. I would never judge another person for walking by an injured bird, for ignoring a worm, or for not really caring about the fate of a frog in a pond full of, y’know, plenty of other frogs.

There is nothing wrong with that.

But I cannot cannot cannot look at something struggling and ignore it if I may have the power to help.

There is so much bad stuff in this world so far beyond my control, that I take comfort in the smallest, most thankless tasks. It’s a relief to say “I can help you in this moment,” even though they don’t understand.

I don’t need a devil’s advocate to tell me another fish probably ate that frog when I let it go, or that the raccoon probably ended up trapped in another dumpster the next night.

I know!!!! I know!!!!!!! But today I had the power to help! So I did! And it made me happy!

So just leave me alone alright thank u!!!!

My friend: Are you okay?

What I say: Yeah, I’m good.

What I actually mean: I can’t stop thinking about how Tony Stark “adopting” Nebula would be the greatest thing of all time cause like, Nebula’s had a really shit life dealt for her and Tony knows exactly what it’s like to never live up to “Daddy Dearest’s Standards” so he would be the best new dad ever. There’s also the fact that Tony’s an engineer and Nebula is two screws away from being an android, so we could have a really cute parallel of Tony fixing Nebula emotionally while actually fixing her body parts to make them hurt less. Just imagine Tony bringing her home to Pepper from Titan and being like, “This is Nebs. She’s scary and could kill me with her pinky toe, but she’s been neglected by a purple grape. I’ve known her for less than a week, but I love her. Can we keep her, Pepper? Please?” Of course, Nebula would act all stony and emotionless, but deep inside she’s secretly hopeful that, especially after losing her sister, there is someone in the galaxy who will simply appreciate her for who she is and doesn’t expect more than she can do-

Kaiba!

  • Why I like them/why I don’t
    I love that he tries to be realistic but then does something completely asinine like design a jet or train to be a Blue Eyes like… that serves no functionality whatsoever and yet he took time to make it work. 
  • What I like about their appearance
    I love his trenchcoats and how Mokuba is always by his side allowing him to walk more confidently because his biggest support and possibly greatest fan is always right there.
  • Do I prefer their dub names or original names?
    It’s still Seto Kaiba so… ??
  • OTP
    Dangershipping! Everything with Marik is better~
  • NOTP
    Prideshipping. (Which is kinda like watching the DSOD and being like Ughhhhhhhh- I know you are there but no thank you. I respect you but no. Go back to Ryou and Yugi.)
  • OT3

    Kintsugishipping (Seto x Marik X Seth)

  • Favourite card they use

    Peten the Dark Clown (You’d think Blue Eyes but did Blue Eyes stab Yami? No.)

  • Favourite moment they were in
    So many good ones… But tossing Mokuba as an explosion followed him from behind. Wrecking poor Tristan’s crotch in the process and bowling nerds over. STRIKE. Perfect score for Seto Kaiba)
  • Least favourite moment
    Can I just say DSOD where he unlearned everything and just straight up abandoned Mokuba like the kid meant nothing to chase after some dead guy he held unreasonable fondness/hatred towards? Like all of that nonsense is more Season Zero, which I love, but he unlearned everything! Poor Mokuba… If Seto didn’t come back alive he better be regreting that bullshit in hell or whatever for that damn dumbass decision.
  • Would I fuck, marry or kill them
    As if Kaiba has the time for these things? If anyone kills that nerd it’s going to be himself either by trying to get to pharaoh (unhealthy dude, let that shit go) or from just pure exhaustion and overworking himself. (Unhealthy but I respect this one WAY more then chasing some guy you know is dead.)
