CRYING

thoughts abt edison kingdom bc i’ve been rewatching it a bit (spoilers under the cut)

something something gillion— faced with injustice— is ready to kill to rectify it, to murder in the name of retribution, and comes upon a child.

a child faced with responsibility he never wanted, a role he never prepared for, who clings to the only semblance of family he has.

gillion tidestrider, capitalism hater and royalty assassinator, sees him and asks, “do you want to be king?” and does all he can to save him and his kingdom.

gillion sees this terrified child and sees himself.

ACLU South Dakota post

"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."

"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."

One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.

The Hero

so i've been thinking abt the circumstances of gillion's banishment (as one does) bc it Doesn't Make Sense cuz like,,, idc how fucked up the elders are or how much they may have hated gillion, why would you banish the chosen one over something like attacking a navy officer- the very thing you spent seventeen years telling him to do??? you wouldn't. you've spent almost two decades training this kid to be your perfect little weapon, you wouldn't throw him out for acting like the weapon you turned him into. for acting on the instinct that you programmed into him- especially considering gill attacked jayson because he could literally smell the evil coming off of him. you wouldn't give up an unquestionably loyal guard and literal holy figure for the sake of a bad deal with the very people you HATE.

so now I wonder. I wonder if sending gill to the oversea is just another fucked up test. I wonder if the elders lied to him about his banishment, and used him attacking a navy officer as an excuse to throw him into this test. to see if he could survive on his own.

ur future nurse is using chapgpt to glide thru school u better take care of urself

my prediction for riptide is gill and chip somehow survive the hole in the sea, mangled and fucked up but alive. and as soon as they come back home the giant gold taxes fish fucking eats them for not paying their 100k in debt ever

thinking about them again
