Honestly untold respect for Marvel Rivals for introducing Emma Frost, a character well known for her boobs, and instead giving her some truly gigantic thighs to be horny about instead. What a galaxy brain move. I'm so impressed.

Genuinely I think repeatedly making "I'm so brave for (doing mildly uncomfortable thing)" jokes is actually really building my resilience, because when I accomplish an actually difficult task I'm then suddenly euphoric and then chasing the high of accomplishing more tasks.
TEASING MYSELF WITH PATIENCE AND COMPASSION has evolved into STRAIGHT-UP TRICKING MYSELF INTO RESPONDING TO MY OWN POSITIVE FEEDBACK!

sometimes I wonder how y'all are obsessed with specific characters and I'm like "why them" but then I remember that sometimes its literally not your choice you just look at them wrong and all of a sudden they're taking up your every thought forever

2 separate pics of when Jayce was killed by his mentor (and sort of father-figure), Viktor Albright, for tampering with the Dread magic that he forbade, and then later on when he found him at the prison with the intent to seal him away in a soul box after killing him clearly didn't work the first time (the Dread was able to bring him back).
Jayce is just a little bit bitter. And hurt. And angry.

You know what i find absolutely irritating about the modern 'literature' of the left? The sheer amount of ignorant slop that gets lauded as a "wonderful critique of capitalism." I understand not everyone likes capitalism, you can have that oppinion, it's okay. But if you’re going to critique it, at least try understand the topic you are writing about. So much of what I see could be decent if the writers actually bothered reading their own work before patting themselves on the back.
A lot of dystopias focus on workers suffering, and sure, suffering is is punchy, it gets attention. However when the authors only focus is suffering, rather than the system, it's hard to call it capitalism. It’s not even cronyism. It’s just needless suffering.
They justify everything as 'profit', when making sadistic decisions that actively hurt profits. Killing workers without a care? Providing 'un'safety equipment? How is a capitalist supposed to exploit labor if the labor force is dead? If work stops every other day to replace employees?
Some of these fictional capitalists don’t even seem to want profit. they just like suffering. Honestly it could be a good story, if the writer actually thought about what they were talking about: power. You want to critique elites? Class structure? Hierarchy? Go for it! But the moment you say "in the name of profit" when it should be "in the name of control" or "because they’re sadistic," you’re not critiquing capitalism—you’re just writing nonsense. If my eyes roll any further back, they might detach.
Write what you want, but actually think about what you’re saying. Capitalism can be critiqued there’s plenty of real-world exploitation and you don’t even have to dig deep to find it.
But when your "capitalists" are so antithetical to the identity they’re supposed to represent, it’s just bad writing. Plain and simple.
It’s absolutely possible to write a story where capitalism is a means to achieve power and do evil. That’s a valid, compelling interesting angle! It can spark interesting dilemmas and even make actual capitalists reconsider certain aspects of the system. But if your characters are one-dimensional, it’s bad writing. And if they’re not even one-dimensional?
You’re a bad writer

You can't make yourself loud enough that people who can't hear at all would hear you. You'll just make yourself annoying to the people who can hear you. You can't dress loudly enough that people who can't see at all would see you. You'll just make yourself an eyesore to people who can see you.
You can't write clearly enough that people who can't fucking read would understand what you're trying to say. You'll just be annoying and tedious for the people who can read.
I regret not writing Cicero-like sentences more than I regret writing Cicero-like sentences.
