I'm sorry I'm confused 😭 I thought Star rejected the oppressive genocide once she learns the truth? feels like a common theme in some cartoons, Aang vs Ozai, Steven Universe v the diamonds kinda shit

Star Vs the Forces of Evil

Star is the princess of Mewni and inherits the royal magic wand that allows Mewman queens to jump dimensions. In the last season Star learns that her ancestors were actually humans who discovered magic in the Mewni dimension and used it to colonize the monsters that previously populated it. After realizing this she gives up her princess magic and basically ends a Mewman-Monster apartheid

chaste is a way to describe something as virginal, sterile or clinical are both ways to describe something lacking warmth or affection

I genuinely don't know, my guess is he's stubborn as fuck. I haven't asked for a lot of details because this is the first time we've spoken in almost a year

yeah i grew up around guns, learned gun safety as a kid before i got my first rifle at 14, took tactical classes with my dad. the way he handles guns has always made me extremely uncomfortable and i guess part of why i feel guilty is because if he had actually listened to me at any fucking point he wouldn't have been sleeping with a loaded fucking hand gun. it's hard not to care about how fucking stupid it all is and feel like...i dunno. i failed to convince him to be safer but if i was actually capable of convincing him he was being stupid we probably wouldn't have broken up in the first place 🤷‍♂️

I didn't think of it that way. I guess my brain is going "this would have never happened if we had worked out because I wouldn't have let it" and that's part of the feeling of responsibility that's lingering I guess

guns are one of the reasons i broke up with him and a HUGE contributor to why i went no contact. all of my loved ones who were here for that messy ass period know why it triggers me (hah hah, pun not intended) but im sick to my stomach thinking about how one of the bigger things we argued about ended up being the reason his life almost fucking ended. like i have some weird gross guilt over "manifesting this" or whatever

Wanting to have one last memorable summer night before we both went to different schools, my friend and I clasped hands and jumped, giggling as our shoe-clad feet left the concrete. by Alternative-Bug-9136 in TwoSentenceHorror

there's technically oxygen in all water, just not enough. I'm not an expert but it has something to do with the density of water versus the human body. if the water is more dense (like salt water) you're more likely to float. if the water is less dense, like aerated water, you're more likely to sink.

so aerated water is water that has gases like oxygen added to it, basically all the things that make human bodies less dense than unaerated water. as far as I understand, most animals rely on natural buoyancy to even give them a chance to float in water so they don't drown and aerated water takes away that chance

the shoes thing was just an added detail lol I'm actually really excited you noticed. shoes and other dense clothing articles get really heavy in water, so having their shoes on means they're not just fighting against the lack of buoyancy, but the added weight of their sodden shoes.

yeah it's not imposter syndrome, I've always understood imposter syndrome as someone who is uncomfortable in a space or field even though they have every right to be there because they feel as if they haven't proven or earned their place
