Correcting a Chinese kid's English homework that another American got wrong on a Chinese app named after Mao Zedong's Little Red Book as part of a mass online temper tantrum to help save TikTok was not on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are.

This might actually be the political fuck-up of the century. Our politicians are all 900 year old crypt keepers who probably turn off their computers by unplugging them from the wall. Were there a single synapse in their decrepit domes focused on something besides their next payday, they might have thought twice about challenging Millennials and Zoomers on the internet. I repeat, ON THE INTERNET. Oh to have the confidence of an octogenarian born into generational wealth.

Something I need people to understand is the "security threat" doesn't just stop at data. The mere act of normal Chinese and American citizens interacting scares the shit out of governments on both sides. I'm already seeing videos from folks here in the US talking about how shocked they were at the grocery hauls in China, and how much they could get with very little. Chinese people are watching Americans absolutely dog walk their own government and talk it for filth. People are having fun.

All rich people had to do was remember the deal. Americans are terrible people. If they had just paid folks enough to buy a house, an electric car, and a vacation once a year they'd sit in front of the TV in a docile fugue state while the wealthy shoved their boots up the ass of the global south. Now who knows what's going to happen. I just know it's a testament to how done with Mark Zuckerberg's ass people are that they're rather learn Mandarin than go back to Facebook.

I think 2025 is about to be a ride.

Disclaimer: this is about fiction and narrative, which are based on rhyme and reason, every action a character makes is a deliberate choice by the author so unlike with real life, it's possible to question the motive of these actions

I'm legit asking btw, please tell me if you know

Besides switching the narrative from Tamlin to Rhysand (going from Amarantha's dark obsession with Tam to her habitual abuse of Rhys) what did sjm gain from making Amarantha a rapist?

Character wise, she was already evil, with an actually interesting backstory so why?

In the "original" storyline, inspired by the Ballad of Tamlin, it makes sense for Amarantha to want Tamlin, ultimately the story boils down to a heroine saving the hero from the fairy queen. Therefore the idea of her assaulting him once she finally has him is in character and in alignment with the story

But in the context of final product, what was the point of Amarantha's sexual abuse of Rhysand? It only ever matters once, and that's so Rhysand can skirt the responsibility of his own actions against Feyre.

So why not just have Rhys not assault Feyre? Have him be cruel but specifically forgo the sexual element

Ianthe, at least, seeks power in every possible way. It makes sense that she would go to such lengths, especially with how bloodlines hold magic etc

But Amarantha? What's the point? She could just as easily enslaved Rhysand or held someone hostage or made a bargain.

My personal opinion is that sjm has a twisted, but unfortunately common, notion of sexual interest - whether reciprocated or not - being a badge of honour, for women but especially for men.

She thinks she's showing us how desirable and literally irresistible the character is by making them a victim

Arsonist’s lullaby by Hozier is Eris Vanserra’s song. No one can persuade me otherwise! 🔥😍

if you’re comfortable with getting suuppeeerrrr up close and personal:

if it’s a person with a dick, grab them by the balls, dig your nails in (or just fingers if you’re like me and your nails are too short), twist your wrist, and yank as hard as you can. leaves them in agony. 

or if you’re not:

also, if you can, cup both of your hands and slam them over their ears. if you do it hard enough, it’ll rupture their eardrums, but if it doesn’t, it’ll at least make them lose their balance. 

i had to use these on my assailant at my freshman homecoming. i did the ears first, then the dick. worked perfectly, even though it was traumatizing and I still don’t trust men outside of my family and very close inner circle. 

last thing:

i don’t remember the source that this tip is from, and i’m paraphrasing, but if a guy (or anyone) puts their hands on you in a way that you’re not comfortable with, tell them, and if they don’t listen, tell them that you’ll break their fingers if they don’t, and if they still don’t listen, grab their middle finger and yank it back as hard as you can. you told them not to, and they didn’t listen. you warned them about exactly what you would do, and they didn’t listen, so you are absolutely at no fault whatsoever for breaking their bones, especially if you have witnesses to the entire thing. 

in the tags tell me what organ you would delete/remove from your body assuming there were no consequences

u ever in such a bad mood u feel urself turning evil?
