when i was like 6 i made a poptropica character and the oldest age you could pick was 15 and i distinctly remember saying “good thing nobody lives that long”
What this means is, that ever single one of the following
Jack Be Nimble (who jumped over burning candles for fun)
Jack the Giant Killer (who sold his cows for magic beans then robbed and killed a giant)
Stingy Jack (who tricked the devil so many times he was banned from both afterlives)
Jack of Jack and Jill (who splattered his head open falling down a hill)
Jack o’ Lantern (the headless horseman spirit of halloween)
Jack Frost (the spirit who heralds the end of autumn and the start of winter)
Are literally the same jackass who made so many bad life choices he ended up an immortal ice dullahan with a pumpkin serving as both his head and flashlight
but what an incredible journey he had getting there
speaking, uh, as a formerly-trafficked sex worker, it’s extremely difficult to come forward as a trafficking victim in countries where sex work is criminalized; you just… get criminalized under those same anti-prostitution laws. of course reported trafficking would increase when the sole fact of coming forward as a sex worker at all no longer endangers you.
This line of argument is the same one that you see with conservatives who point to the increase in divorce rates as proof that making divorce safer is endangering marriage, while ignoring the massive drops in domestic abuse, murder, and suicide.
It’s a shot argument with them, and it’s a shot argument here.
In WWI, when they introduced helmets, they saw a sudden spike in head injuries.
What the casual observer may miss was that they were seeing the increase because of a dramatic decrease in deaths from head wounds.
has anyone ever been happy in the Fire Nation??? let’s be real here.
what about wang fire and his family?
Wang Fire, his wife Sapphire Fire, and their son Kuzon Fire were the happiest
proof that you can be happy in the Fire Nation so long as your stay is temporary and your ultimate goal is to take down the Fire Nation
Until you remember that in the comics Wang Fire also joined the Fire Nation army and died in an attempt to take down some water and earth benders in a “Leroy Jenkins” style attack, leaving his pregnant wife and his hopeless son to fend for themselves….
