Help Me, Lord, From These Fantasies In My Head / They Ain't Ever Been Safe Ones

STRAY [1/∞]

Just a heads up to everyone! If I ever see a post that inspires me to write about something

PLEASE! Please! Please! Don’t ever view it as an “attack” or me trying to start something

I see so many posts a day about the games I love and it inspires me to write these discussions or “essay” like posts

Writing and analyzing topics of my interests is something I love and enjoy. I just enjoy picking things apart! Sorry if this upsets anyone!

ICE raids are starting on Tuesday in Chicago.

Yell “ICE” and “LA MIGRA” to disrupt them. Notify people and use your privilege as a citizen to make ICE’s job as difficult as possible.

Fascism has been here. It’s just loud now. Time to be loud too.

Kinda freaking out over what’s going to happen later today rn at 5 o’clock in the morning bc I can’t sleep. Uhm. Yeah.

Anyway, shit you need to know:

You see I.C.E?

Yell, “La Migra.” (La-mee-grah)

Be as loud you possibly can.

They are supposed to be starting Raids in Chicago on Tuesday.

You know neurodivergent or queer people?

No the fuck you don’t.

Are you apart of that spectrum yourself?

Suddenly you aren’t.

Know trans people or trans yourself?

Nuh-uh.

Do you have immigrant family?

Tell them how to answer I.C.E if they come across them. (a bunch of shit on TikTok can tell about that)

If you have birth-right citizenship, you’re at risk too.

Don’t be in usually populated areas.

Like, the mall, movie theaters, etc. it’s not safe, trust, there will be dumbasses out there today and probably the rest of the week, keep that in mind.

Know that Trump is planning to ban No Fault Divorce, so legal marriage isn’t the best option until said otherwise.

Anyone ask you about your political views?

Say NOTHING.

Or, “I don’t like to talk about that stuff.”

Don’t talk about them at all.

Same goes for your identity, aight?

Idgaf if he “saved TikTok” it was a stunt, they think we’re stupid. Forget that shit, don’t thank him. It’s fucking propaganda.

Stay safe,

Eat the rich,

And Deny, Defend, and fucking depose.

Ik im not popular, like at all but please reblog, share, whateva

A misconception I see often in the Mouthwashing Fandom

Daisuke & Swansea did nothing

I’ve been seeing many posts regarding this topic and it really confuses me on how it’s spread…

SPOILERS AHEAD

Let’s get sweet baby boy out of the way, Daisuke.

Daisuke is the youngest of the Tulpar crew, scene often by Swansea’s side, they are a joint package do not separate (I don’t mean as a ship)

In my honest opinion, I doubt Daisuke knew ANYTHING about what happened to Anya, we have to take the narrative were given with a grain of salt since most of it is through Jimmy’s eyes, but something we can take out of it is Daisuke’s death.

Daisuke before he dies is told to close his eyes, eyes seem to be a very important part of Mouthwashing and the narrative, Curly has one eye visible, Swansea loses an eye and Daisuke is told to close his eyes

With him being the youngest, and the crew looking to him as “the baby” or “kiddo”

Like what children do when scared or are exposed to something they aren’t supposed to see, they’re told to close their eyes, to preserve their innocence

Because of this I don’t think Daisuke knew anything regarding Anya’s situation, we see her tell two people. Curly and Swansea

Why do I think Swansea DID something?

There’s many instances where I believe Swansea was on Anya’s side

1st when the two are talking in the cockpit. Jimmy find the two, almost talking in secrecy, the cockpit being one of the few places that has a lock, a safe place for Anya to be vulnerable, to let someone in.

She allowed herself to be vulnerable with Curly in this room and here she is doing the same with Swansea, there conversation is cut short when Jimmy enters the room. Anya quick to barely utter a word while Swansea stares him down, ax in hand, arms crossed. His body language is guarded. Each time Jimmy talks, Swansea is quick to shut him down, brush him off, dismissing him just as Jimmy does Anya.

2nd instance I feel Swansea did something is after Daisuke and Anya’s death. Swansea is ENRAGED, chasing Jimmy down with an ax while he’s locked away in the cockpit, breaking in even

Some would argue that Swansea only cared for Daisuke, but I don’t think that’s true, he comes off as abrasive and intimidating, but let’s keep in mind too. Swansea is a father who cares deeply for his kids, with Anya and Daisuke being younger than him, probably the same age as his children, the two having moments of nativity, seeking guidance from him, Swansea probably saw his kids in the two.

In each scene with the Tulpar crew, Swansea is shown close to both of them, Jimmy almost isolated or in his own corner

Those are my thoughts so far, there’s definitely a lot more I could add but I’m unfortunately drawing a blank. Please feel free to give your thoughts and opinions on this though!

Can we give Swansea some more love and attention that he deserves, because while he is not completely in control of his emotions and is quick to react, it all came from a good reason that being he cared so much for the crew.

Daisuke, he saw so much potential in almost like a son, for him to be there for Daisuke at every turn, even being the one to put him out of his misery so he didn’t have to suffer anymore, even telling Daisuke to close his eyes so he wouldn’t see what would happen, he cared so much.

And when Anya confided in him about what happened to her, he came CHARGING to put an end to all of it, for Anya, for Daisuke, for EVERYONE.

I feel like we don’t give Swansea enough attention, and we should!

Because I can feel my depression kicking in, this is a reminder to anyone this may come across

Take care of yourself and listen to your body, not your brain, especially if it’s cruel to you.

Allow yourself to rest, you aren’t selfish for taking care of your needs

Please, for the love of all that is holy, drink water! Your body will thank you so much

Get out and enjoy ‘the freedom of nature’s gifts’ because fresh air and a good walk definitely can help you, especially if you’re someone who stays cooped up inside all day long.

Remember too, your family cares about you, and if your family doesn’t, your friends do, and if they don’t, someone out there in the world does

do i look like your girlfriend?
