Fucking hell don't bring your drink up and tell me that's not what you ordered. I am the only one here.
I took your order, I read your order back to you, I made your drink. No you didn't order a cappuccino its not my fault you don't know what coffee you wanted.
I have to remake the drink anyway because it's not worth arguing but fuck customers for acting like we're stupid when they're the ones who fucked up
every single fucking time we organized at such a large capacity they killed our leaders bc it was working, fred hampton got thousands of white ppl to support him and united all of chicago and had plans to help all people with socialism and they shot him to death next to his pregnant wife at 21, and then bombed his friends
like i can’t emphasize enough the fact that the government wouldn’t be so threatened that they felt they had to kill these people if these people weren’t right, they killed martin because he said the voting system is rigged they killed malcom because he said the democrats are playing us, ask ur self why any government would have to do that if that thought didn’t have some merit / threat of truth
very into dungeon meshi so far. the world-building is immaculate with consummate attention to monster biology and fantasy race cultures yet the plot mostly focuses on this really hungry white boy
people are playing games of telephone with information about palestine and sometimes it’s harmless and sometimes it’s not.
no. all of the hospitals in gaza have NOT been destroyed. all of them have been ATTACKED, none of htem are fully functioning anymore, but, NO, they are not all fully destroyed.
tweets by palestinians mourning the safety of the last FULLY FUNCTIONING hospital have been misconstrued as “no hospitals are left” and that misunderstanding leads to a sense of hopelessness that can translate into less medical aid going through to the hospitals that remain–damaged, attacked, more vulnerable than ever before but still standing.
israel has destroyed a large amount of the FUNCTIONALITY of all 36 hospitals but doctors are still doing their best within many of them. and need aid, calls for support, power.
i am once again on my KNEES begging y'all to not just spread one sentence tweets about the state of gaza from people who are… not in gaza. i am asking you to do more work to verify the information you spread.
all the people who are like ‘x aspect of aziracrow’s relationship is unhealthy.’ my guy they’ve spent the past 6000 years pining over each other while pretending they both don’t like each other and don’t know each other and are constantly terrified of the forces of heaven and hell finding out their relationship. they’re afraid to even touch each other and every brush of their hands has to be done under some sort of guise. every time they’re near each other they are looking over their shoulders and have only in the past four of 6000 years felt mildly comfortable admitting they’re friends. do you think this is the setup for a healthy and normal relationship
I high-key just imagined bitterbat picking up a car to throw and quickly putting it back down cause someone was in it
God living in decking city would be so awkward
A scenario with Bitterbat yeeting a car would be him picking it up with a maniacal grin on his face because he’s getting really into him and Sweetheart’s battle only for him to notice her waving her arms in a “NO” motion. So he follows her eyes because they aren’t focused on him, so much as the car itself and he sees there’s someone still in the driver’s seat.
And he looks surprised at first before getting an irritated look and letting out an annoyed huff because he still wants to throw the car but now his cool villain moment is ruined. So he just sets it down as he sprouts his wings and hovers over the car. Then he digs his claws into the roof and peels it off like it’s the lid on a can of tuna. At that point, the driver is most likely panicking, either because they think Bitterbat is going to kill them or they don’t know if their car insurance will cover this (Decking City car insurance does cover villain caused damages. It’s basically one of the default coverages).
Smoke covers the seat beat, unbuckling it, and then Bitterbat reaches in with one arm, pinching the poor civilian’s shirt by the back of the collar like he’s picking up a kitten by the scruff of their neck, and effortlessly plucks them out of their vehicle where he then sets them on the nearby side walk where they scurry off to safety.
And THEN he grabs the car and chucks it at Sweetheart.
Some villains aren’t as nice as Bitterbat though and will just throw the car with you still inside.
Writing Negative Character Arcs: Types & Principles
What is a Negative Character Arc?
In a negative character arc, the character grows into someone worse–or perhaps more accurately said, someone more misled. Stories that feature protagonists with negative arcs typically function as cautionary tales and often leave the audience feeling “sadder, but wiser.” Some examples of negative arcs include Anakin in Revenge of the Sith, Coriolanus in A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and Light in Death Note. These also serve as good reminders that not all protagonists are “heroes.”
Of course, though, negative arcs can be used for side characters or antagonists as well, such as Harry Osborn in Spider-Man, or Javert in Les Mis.
A common misconception is that negative arcs are always for “bad guys.” While the majority of villains will embody a negative arc, not every negative-arcing character is a villain. For example, Winston has a negative arc in 1984, but no one would call him a “bad guy”; he was tortured until he lost his way.
Despite negative arcs being uncommon for main characters, chances are you’ll need to write one for at least one important character at some point. This article will go over the two basic types of negative arcs, dig deeper into what a negative arc actually is, and offer four principles to help you craft one.
Buckle up, writers, because today we are on the “highway to hell!” 😈🔥😉
The 2 Basic Negative Arcs
First, though, I need to make sure we are all on the same page, so here is a brief review on character arcs in general… .
A character arc is how a character grows through a story. And at the most basic level, there are really only four types: positive change, negative change, positive steadfast, negative steadfast.
Those are your only options.
Why?
Because there are only two ways a character can grow internally:
1. They can change their worldview or beliefs. 2. They can grow in the resolve of their worldview or beliefs (remain steadfast), becoming more of something.
There are many other approaches to character arcs, and you can get more detailed, but theoretically, any character arc will fit into one of these four types.
The character arc is an internal journey and is almost always directly tied to the theme. In fact, it’s one of the secret ingredients that make up theme. This journey will ultimately represent a worldview or belief system that the story will put a value on.
Positive-arcing characters end the story representing an accurate or “true” belief system–a reality. The belief system is what the story is arguing for; it’s known as the thematic statement. The journey is viewed as an internal victory because the character is better off and a better person, for believing the truth.
Negative-arcing characters end the story representing an inaccurate or “false” belief system–a nonreality*. This belief system is what the story is arguing against; this means it’s (almost always) the anti-thematic statement, the counterargument to the theme. The journey is viewed as an internal failure because the character is worse off or a worse person, for believing a lie.
the concept of fatphobia isn’t “skinny people have never ever been shamed or insecure about their bodies ever” but rather “society literally doesn’t want fat people to exist at any cost to the point healthcare systems are willing to let fat people die rather than address any other possible medical issue, in addition to facing insults and disgust at every turn socially”. online the fact u can’t make a body positive or even neutral post without somebody going “but what about us naturally skinny and petite people” is so fucked man
