My Mom's Friend Got Mad At Me For Something That Wasn't My Fault And I Cope By Saying "lol Why Is This

Maus

Concept: a magical girl RPG where the playable splats are based on different contemporary genres of magical girl anime.

Type S: The classic moon princess aesthetic. Your transformation involves makeup, and your powers sparkle. Your strength is synergy: call it fate, charisma, or the Magic of Friendship, but you make your team more than the sum of its parts. Your weakness is entanglement: your battles always seem to end up being metaphors for your relationship drama; your high school crushes keep getting turned into monsters, and there’s two to one odds the Big Bad will turn out to secretly be your mom.

Type G: You’re basically a superhero. Your outfit likely has a mechanical theme, and your powers largely revolve around shouting and punching. Your strength is fighting spirit: you’re annoyingly hard to put down, to the point that your enemies will tend to trick or circumvent you instead. Your weakness is collateral damage: those buildings you knock down may have a tendency to coincidentally be closed for renovations, but you’re still driving everyone’s insurance premiums up!

Type P: You are a straight up cartoon character. Being an actual child is customary but not mandatory. Your strength is rubber physics: you’re far luckier than you have any right to be, and the universe tends to stretch the rules to let you get away with stuff you really oughtn’t. Your weakness is that you get no respect: your teammates may like you, but they don’t take you seriously, and neither do the bad guys – which can occasionally work to your advantage, but mostly it’s just frustrating!

Type M: You’re from the Gritty, Realistic™ side of town. Your powers have a vaguely creepy vibe, and your weapon is probably a gun. Your strength is adulting: you have practical life skills backing up your magic powers, and you tend to be the responsible one when all else fails. Your weakness is angst: you have difficulty believing in the power of friendship, and anything that manages to crack your collected facade is liable to result in existential freakouts.

Type U: You are a space alien, or possibly a gay robot. Your costume is usually part of your body in some fashion, and your powers are mostly based on unusual physical transformations – but like in a cool way, not an H R Giger way. Your strength is bullshit space magic: the ability to pull random one-off powers out of thin air as the plot demands. Your weakness is culture shock: it’s hard for you to do the right thing because you typically have no idea what’s going on.

As she should.

my mom just told me shes considering divorcing my dad for political reasons lol. lmao even.

Little art dump for my WOF campaign :3

My aunt's dog luna pooped on the floor and one of the cats placed a piece of toilet paper on it. Or she put the tp on it. Or my brother brought it into my room while I wasn't paying attention.

TW: Pedophilia

Teenagers are rarely taught the reason why they can't consent to sex with adults.

And that's because teaching them that would completely unravel our coercion-based society.

It can be difficult to explain in detail the exact reason and all the specifics in a way that they will understand. But the simplest way to phrase it is that in some cases, even when someone agrees to something and even when they appear enthusiastic about it, there's too much of a power imbalance that it's no different than forcing them. Also, having power and being abusive doesn't require a conscious expectation to be obeyed.

Imagine a world in which every teenager understood that and was easily able to call out anyone who tried to convince them otherwise.

They'd know that there's no such thing as an employee consenting to working for a poverty wage, working in unsafe conditions, working long hours, or working without taking breaks. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to paying a bank overdraft fee. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to student loan debt. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to medical bills. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to generating profit for banks or landlords in order to have a place to live and being evicted or foreclosed when you lose your source of income. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to a police search. They'd know that there's no such thing as a child who's okay with their parents spanking them. They'd know that being dependent on someone does not mean that you can never criticize them. They'd know that if it's considered abusive to simply play along when someone obeys, then it has to be much more abusive to actively expect to be obeyed, which many adults do to them.

And people who benefit from a society based on coercion masquerading as freedom wouldn't like that.

So instead, teenagers are taught something dismissive. They're taught that what they want doesn't matter. They're taught that they're too young to know what love is. They're taught "it's the law". They're taught things that are insulting to their intelligence, which they'll naturally rebel against.

Sader and Chomper!
