Death Note AU when everything’s the same but whenever Light wants to talk to Ryuk he says this:

- Edit: okay, 300 notes, thanks c: (why the fuck does this have over 1k notes?)

One of the most beautiful commercials I have ever seen. Good on you, Amazon Prime. 

Also just saying the music in the background is the piece “i giorni” by Ludovico Einaudi and it’s the most perfectly beautiful piece for this advertisement.

I still cry and I think I’ve watched it 200times now. I can’t

Everytime i watch it i start to love it even more

this legitimately gave me chills 

This is so cute

What an adorable start to a murder

Look at those eyes. This is a start to a murder, all right.

(Long post, thinking aloud)

A part of this goes hand-in-hand with anti ideology. 

I have seen - far too often - people’s mistakes being dredged up from the past, to the extent that callouts often include posts before people have changed groups or altered their behaviours, and these callouts can be used weeks or months or years into the future. In real-life, I think a case for this would be James Gunn and his tweets from over a decade ago being used against him. 

If we allow people to be redeemed, or to change, it goes beyond just potentially forgiving them (or feeling we are expected to forgive them), but often requires a change of a black-and-white mentality … no longer is the abuser the bogeyman in the closet, but a complex and three-dimensional being capable of both great feats of evil and great acts of goodness. Where do you place someone like that on a scale? How do you react to someone like that?

If someone is seen as evil and inhuman, abuse and harassment become “justified” in one’s mindset … you ‘deserve’ to be suicide-baited, as you ship a ‘paedophillic’ ship, and the abuser ‘deserves’ to be hated, as they caused you irrevocable harm and caused you great trauma. They cease to be something human, but a mere embodiment of the ‘evil’ you detest. 

I would hazard a guess that this changes a bit from the ask to antis, as antis are looking for reasons to be angry and justify expressions of their anger, but in the case of the ask -? It may be more complex. It sounds like they are unable to forgive - (which is justified and understandable) - but feels an outside pressure to forgive, which is creating resentment, potentially from a lack of closure, and rather than deal with these complex emotions, it’s easier to simplify. 

If the abuser is an irredeemable monster, I can continue to hate him and insult him and compartmentalise his existence … I know it’s all his fault, it’s innate, and that none of this stems from any further or complicated issues.

If the abuser can be redeemed -?

Well, do I forgive him or not? Why did he abuse? How do I know he won’t abuse again? How long must he be punished? Is he punished enough? How do I reconcile my anger with the fact he is happy? Is it right for him to be happy after he made me suffer? Why am I still suffering? If he is over it, should I be over it? Can you get ‘over’ it? Does he care he hurt me? If I’m angry, I’m still suffering, and is that his fault or my fault or no one’s fault? What purpose does my anger serve? Would revenge make it go away? Would that be right if he’s changed?

It opens a whole can of worms. 

A lack of redemption makes for black-and-white mentality. A monster is a monster and cannot be anything other than a monster … no need for the victim to ask hard questions or reconsider events, because it’s simplified and neat and tidy, and throwing in redemption complicates them. Depending on where you are in recovery, it may even be impossible to process or comprehend. 

Maybe some people need for people to be irredeemable … 

Makes it easier to process their trauma. 

A good addition.

Hero Rats

@jitterbugjive

THEY’RE SO CUTE AND GOOD AND SMART AND HAVE JOB

I’ll always reblog hero rats!

this same species is also trained to identify tuberculosis in samples by smell, meaning they can test for TB at a rapid rate with a high accuracy :)

The organization that trains the rats is APOPO 

You can sponsor a rat and you will get adorable personalized emails telling you how well “your” rat is doing! I did this for my sister a few years ago and she’s still getting emails about Martok the HeroRat’s mine-clearing successes and called it the best gift ever.

SPONSOR  A  RAT

I wanna sponsor a rat. I wanna do it

Great gift idea

Sauk County Standard, Baraboo, Wisconsin, May 16, 1855

honestly bless hayley kiyoko for everything, yesterday i was talking to this cute girl and i casually mentioned her and the girl went, “hayley kiyoko?? i love hayley kiyoko” and i was like “ok but do you listen to hayley kiyoko or do you listen to hayley kiyoko” and she went “oh i listen to hayley kiyoko all right” and then gave me a big grin and i smiled back and we were just beaming at each other in wlw solidarity wow

Does she… Yknow… *makes headphones gesture*… Listen to hayley kiyoko?

In case anybody was looking for a name generator, Behind the Name has one you can customize by everything from gender and nationality to whether you want your characters to sound like rappers, hippies, or hillbillies… 

ok so there’s a game me and my friends play called “don’t get me started” and basically someone gives another person a random topic and they have to go on an angry rant about it and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us at parties and car rides so I highly recommend playing sometimes with your friends

I love this idea. We used to do things like this in Improv.

Related game: “THINK ABOUT IT.” You’re given a random topic, and your job is to build it into an epic conspiracy theory, the crazier the better. You end your rant with a serious face and the command that your listeners “Think about it.” 

Another related game: Illuninati. Similar to Think About It except you are given 2 completely different topics and you have to connect them to each other in a wild conspiracy rant

Rb to safe an awkward hang out

I played Dont Get Me Started with my friends in a parking lot and my one friend went on such a enraged and emotional rant about gravel, one that quite literally echoed through the building, that it legitimately scared me and possibly passerby
