sth that always frustrates me is when people on here say things like "jewish ppl u can let go of connection to israel bc you can be at home in the countries you live in!" and someone responds with a whole essay on how antisemitism is alive and well.. bc that still accepts the original premise. you're saying yes, i agree, we would not feel a connection to the land if antisemitism didn't exist, but it does. this ignores the root misconception that makes someone say things like that, which is that they deny (or simply don't realize/understand) our connection to the land, which transcends the existence of antisemitism in the diaspora. walk into any orthodox school that doesn't even consider itself zionist, and you'll find the kids having conversations with their teachers about how to reconcile feeling comfortable in galut with the desire to properly mourn the beit hamikdash & yearn for mashiach so that we can return. this isn't metaphorical in the slightest; many of them will make aliyah whether mashiach comes or not (and it won't have anything to do with secular zionism or antisemitism). eradicating antisemitism in the diaspora would never change the fact that we are in galut. if they were smart they would actually shift the conversation to why we don't need an explicitly/exclusively jewish state in order to live safely & thrive in eretz yisrael, but they won't bc a) that would require accepting the validity of our connection to it and b) they consider it "validating settler fears" or wtvr the fuck. so instead they will continue to be totally inept at realpolitik solutions & fail to see eye to eye in conversation with jews bc they fundamentally misunderstand.. everything about us.

FUCK IT, TADC EP 2 THOUGHTS MAJOR SPOILERS!! BE WARNED
LETS GO!! Pomni is still pretty screwed up over her first day here, I mean this is all fresh and new to her so like DUH. everyone else here is somewhat or entirely adjusted and kind of just cope with the fact that theyre here I dont think pomni has really processed how long theyve been here?? In the pilot she seems SO bothered by how okay they are with this and willingness to do caines fuckass adventures
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i dont blame her, anywho pomni in her nightmare-induced state starts to abstract, she had to face an abstraction early on in her days here which like have to be pretty truamatizing (duh) and cried out to ANYONE, but where she called for help literally no one helped her “oh well” they though
Tumblr media
Pomni doesn't feel like anybody else cares, shes the only one whos still going through an adjustment phase and freaking the fuck out while everyone else is just going along with the adventure, something she still thinks is kinda pointless and doesn't get why anybody would waste their time here doing when they COULD be looking for a way out, why is she the only one who seems to still be distressed here? To feel lost? At least from her perspective, it seems that way. Unfortunately, these people have already been here for a while.
Pomski then meets someone whos just like her, their whole reality was shattered and they don't belong anywhere, mirroring how pomni feels at the moment, even if she still has some sort of grip now vs when she first got here
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And she finds comfort in that!!! Why is it that this NPC feels more real than the ACTUAL REAL PEOPLE trapped here with her??? Whatever the reason, its something to hold onto. Something to LATCH onto. Hes Real. or at least he feels real, and maybe she feels like she belongs with him because at least he knows the feeling, something shes not really felt w anyone else before
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This comfort and solidarity she has with gumigoo is shortlived however as she gets brutally reminded that he wasnt real. The anchor she had vanished and there's quite literally nobody to catch her fall.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And i feel like ragatha trying to comfort her the way she did didnt help AT ALL. it was kinda a sore reminder that gumigoo is easily replaceable, and GOD thats so frustrating?? This thing felt so real to her and nobody seems to care that he just vanished!! If they could be so apathetic to this whos to say they wont just treat her demise just the same as she thought they would???
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But then something important happens. They have a funeral for Kaufmo, someone whos been established to be their friend way before Pomni ever came here. And maybe it didn't ever settle in before that kaufmo was a real person! Literally!! And he was real to them. Just like gumigoo though less directly they relate to being in pain and kind of in shock of losing someone who they cared about and who was a real person to care about to them AND LIKE YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT CLICKS IN HER FACIAL EXPRESSION HERE, THE CHANGE IN HER EYES AND THE WAY HER EXPRESSION LOSENS AT THIS IDK IT DRIVES ME CRAZY GOD THE ANIMATORS WENT OFF W THIS EP VS THE PILOT IM IM IM
Tumblr media Tumblr media
anyways anyways They have their funeral service, theres quite literally no reason for anyone to just lie and go along with whatever bs caines got going on, this also quite literally has nothing to do with him. This is kind of their own little way of keeping some sort of human traditions and respect for the human persons that get stuck here because they care. HELL you can even see pomni feel a little guilty here when ragatha says that his funeral was disrupted cause she arrived here
Tumblr media Tumblr media
anyways thats exactly it!! They fucking car!! This whole time pomni thought that they just didnt care and were kind of apathetic or downright patronizing her over all this and mocking her or whatnot, like in her dream sequence. But no, they all talk respectively about their memories and experiences with kaufmo, the things they shared together and the feelings they had. EVERYBODY was grieving. Ragatha who always tried to put on some cheerful and kind of irritating (to pomni at least) everythings fine facade (which also kind of feels less real to her at least i think so but i don't think she figured it to be a coping mechanism) to just straight up start crying and breaking up a bit, even mentioning how this does not ever get any easier and how shes had to deal with this plenty of times before.
Tumblr media
Zooble the usually apathetic and kind of asshole who keeps to themselves and gives off i don't care energy and probably gave off the impression that they didn't care about anyone here and just treated the people stuck here as an unfortunate fact and nothing more actually being vulnerable and probably doing the same as ragatha talking about their memories with kaufmo
Tumblr media
Kingers ALWAYS kind of zoned out or not really taking anything seriously and just being there completely lost in space, but here hes grounded, and even earlier in the episode when ragatha needed it most he remained grounded then too (tho pomni didnt see that i just wanted to mention it). Just like the others he grieves and lives in the unfortunate moment
Tumblr media
more of the kinger being grounded when the thought counts
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
GANGLE- dude even if its for just a moment she smiles here despite having her tragedy mask and like her whole shtick is being of whatever mood or emotion her mask is allegedly wether she wants to or not, but no here shes more than just that, she smiles for a bit when reminiscing her moments with kaufmo only to go back into crying, and man shes always crying with her tragedy mask but its beyond as far as anyone can tell wether or not its really her or just because of her mask, but here? its really her, no matter what the mask on her face shows!! shes genuinely smiling despite having her comedy mask and shes genuinely crying which is very blatantly obviously different to the usual mask cry etc etc
Tumblr media Tumblr media
heres something about all this, it hits pomni in a way. These people ARE real, and they care. They care about her, they have nothing else but eachother and THATS something to latch onto. Thats something to hold her down, even if they just met pomni
Tumblr media
SPEAKING OF JUST MEETING POMNI she literally expressed how she didnt wanna just LEAVE gumigoo there by himself because she believes no one should just be left there
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the circus peeps just met pomni and just like how she felt a real connection to gumigoo in this digital hell she feels a sort of connection with these people too. Theyre gonna have her back all the same, maybe she wont feel so out of place and alone. BONUS THING!! The literal only times she genuinely smiles is when she feels this real connection to what feels real to her and has a genuine and sincere moment with these people whether it be an npc or a trapped member. Idk it just means something to me how significant both these moments are tipped off with a genuine smile a REAL SMIE!! (id add pictures but tumblr has a 30 image limit) OH ALSO BONUS BONUS THING THE DIFFERENCE IN OUTRO MUSIC IS SO IS SO ITS SO the outro song for the pilot kinda feels so ethereal and out of the moment at least to me it kinda feels like it you're slipping through the cracks and just, existing within yourself as the rest of the world around you kind of shatters into glass or melts into water or something i dont think ANY of that made any sense but its loud and its blaring and its so out of reach in a way, mad disassociation vibes but the outro song for the 2nd ep is a lot quieter yet its right there, at first it starts really small, lonely even. trapped by yourself but as the music gets louder and more instruments join in on the song it kind of has a comforting feel? bittersweet? even? its grounding ina way which is much different from how the first one felt at least to me lmao and the comforting feel kinda only emphasizes what I was talking about earlier- the comfort in having that anchor of reality with having a real moment with these people and making that connection yk? and like as i was saying at first the song starts off with just one instrument, at the start of the episode pomni feels utter alone and out of place even if these people here with here are stuck in the same situation as her, together alone. but as the other instruments join. in it kinda uplifts the song a bit, its not one sole instrument anymore like how in the end pomni feels that connection with everyone else, not so alone anymore idk jackshit about music theory so this is entirely a feelies talk instead of like- music lore? so don't take anything i say as like- idk some professional speak im just a nerd nerding about silly digital fixations ANYWAYS THATS ALL FOR NOW I AVE MORE TO SAY BUT THIS IS LONG ENOUGH LOL if you actually read all the way down this far thank you for listening!!! i really really appreciate it :]

could you do a headcannon on how finn was to harsh so now y/n wont talk to him and the others just think its really funny?? love your work 💗💗
headcanons: finn's a meanie
A/N: i loved this and immediately needed to put it out there after the BS finn has been pulling in TSW SKDKJSKHD also whoever wrote this you're so sweet and deserve all the love 🥹
tags: poly!judgement day, fem!reader
mentions: @babybatlover @ripleyswhore
Tumblr media
finn knew he had the tendency to get a little too...excited; but he did it because he cared!
after a pretty serious match where y/n got distracted and lost, finn let her have it backstage and told her just how upset he was
"you have to be smarter than that, y/n! you're never going to get anywhere if you don't pay attention! have you fuckin' learned nothing?"
"you know what? i have learned a lot. and that includes the fact that you're a dick and you overreact when people make the smallest mistakes."
dominik is the one taking y/n to calm down and get changed while rhea and damian gave finn the usual talk
"you can't talk to her like that" "you act like the rest of us haven't made mistakes" "you aren't perfect either"
finn knows they're right and always appreciates his partners talking some sense into him; when they get back to the hotel that night, he makes an effort to make things right with y/n
"princess, i'm so sorry for what i said back at the arena. you didn't do anything wrong and i didn't realize how harsh i was being."
y/n, who was cuddled up in rhea's lap with her head in her chest (a favorite spot of hers), only glared at finn and didn't say a word back; the other three held in their laughs because they knew finn deserved it
finn most definitely hears them laughing and blushes before trying again
"please, baby? just say something? anything?"
y/n continued to glare at him and give him the silent treatment as rhea twirled her hair between her fingers
"wow, you must've really fucked up."
damian absolutely punches dominik in the arm after saying that
finn spends the rest of the night begging y/n and will absolutely do anything - he's getting snacks and letting her pick what they watch on tv while the other three are holding in their laughter at how desperate he is
y/n gets her revenge by not saying a single word and moving between dom, damian, and rhea with her cuddles, and they all play along because it's hilarious to watch how desperate finn gets
eventually the next morning she accepts finn's apology, but makes it very clear where she stands on his attitude
"if you talk to me like that again, i'm going to make your life a living hell. i wouldn't fuck around and have you find out what that looks like."

So uh. My freelance work here is kind of dying.
I thought i'd keep my long-term followers on the know-how, so i might as well write about my current circumstances here, give y'all an update, so to speak.
So, for several reasons, most of them not even my fault, i've been getting less and less commissions, almost none, actually, and the ones i get are usualy on the cheaper side, which is bad concidering that this is my livelihood, commission money pays my bills, my groceries, and my taxes, and now i sure as hell am strugling to imagine this will sustain me for long. Twitter is a sinking ship ever since elon went over, Specificaly for people like me. I had just broken into 12k followers there, a huge milestone for me, and then i got shadowbanned, and for the last few months i've gotten *nothing*. It's completely dead, i'm stagnated there, all my arts are censored, and there's no way for me to undo it or fix it, and so i've gotten less and less comms out there, which sucks because its the only reason i was even on that stupid site. Here on tumblr, meanwhile, the CEO went on a massive transphobic streak, and a lot of lgbt folk (which composed a lot of my following,) decided to jump ship, and i sure as hell dont blame them, but sadly that's more potential costumers that bailed, and there's no proper website to go to. Anywhere i'd go, i'd be starting from scratch again, which would be utterly disheartening and frustrating, and there no website that is kind to artists, with no algorythim, that also have a messaging system (the latter being ESSENTIAL to the way i do comms) So i'm kind of stuck. I just. have nowhere to go, and nothing to do. And last but not least, my own fault, I've just been drawing and creating what *I* specificaly want, on an hedonistic streak this year. That's why theres so much pony bs on this blog now, and why i was straight up posting poetry a while back, and have written hundreds upon hundreds of fanfiction pages in the last few months; Which, unfortunately, is a terrible business decision if your intent is making money. Which I surely should have prioritized, but in the end, its not up to me, its up to the costumers... So now i'm a bit stuck. I've enjoyed the things ive drawn and written more than anything i've ever done, and yet, i've never been less successful on the actual business side. I'm still considering my venues, my possibilities, but there's not many. Trying to get a job would certainly pull me away from creation, and i'd hate it regardless of what it was, and on another venue, theres no guarantee that going back to furry titties would bring me money.
and that's whats heartbreaking about it too. no matter how much effort i put on my work, theres no guarantee of sucess, so why even spend time trying to craft a masterpiece? why not just follow trends and make a tiktok account or whatever the fuck makes money these days. I'd rather not, frankly. And i wont. Well, that's about it. Thanks for reading this update, that's how my life is goin atm. i'm going to continue doing as i am right now, but yknow... I'm not sure what i should do, if you want to give me suggestions, feel free.

ninakate or any wlw nina ship w/ good luck babe by chappell roan,,,,
oh god. ok youre so right that this works with any wlw nina ship, but im gonna go through the lyrics and describe some toxic ass ninakate scenario that comes to mind LMFAOOOO SORRY I LIKE TOXIC YURI
ok so in an AU of my AU where ninakate happens, it all starts after nina is stabbed by jeff. they make her heal in the proxy cabin cuz theyre worried jeff will break into ninas apartment and finish the job(he has no interest in doing that tho). tim/brian/toby/jack are busy with zalgoid issues, SO kate sorta...keeps watch on nina while she heals. cuz of that, nina starts latching onto kate. between kate cleaning the stab wound, bringing her water, wrapping her up in gauze, nina crying into kates arms unprompted, asking kate to sleep in the same bed with her cuz she cant sleep, nina asking kate quiet questions for hours while the radio hums and rain pours outside... they share an awkward, "meaningless" kiss. nina blamed it on emotions running high. kate didnt know what to blame
Tumblr media
(this section is HEAVILY inspired by still a friend by the back seat lovers, the entire song is very my-au ninakate)
SOOOOO i wanna go from THAT SONG into good luck babe by chappell roan...
Tumblr media
"you can say that we are nothing" after the kiss, nina would probably be like 'we should go to sleep' and the next morning laugh about it and tease kate and be like "thats so funny, i never kissed a girl like that before. was that your first kiss? oh my god kate are you serious?! we should probably keep that between us, huh? its okay, it wont happen again!" and kates just nodding along while her brain is going 100mph. but kates perceptive as hell and she'd easily see all the little changes that happen afterwards. nina's gaze falling, her hands lingering, little comments she makes. and it'd make kate feel kinda stupid. "guess im the fool, with her arms out like an angel through the car sunroof" toby ends up 'inheriting' an old rusty red pickup truck from tim. i doubt it would have a sun roof, but i could see toby and nat up front, while nina and kate are in the back (like, the BACK bed of the truck). nina would be giggling, tilting her head back and her hair is flying like crazy and her arms are out and kate cannoooot get that damn kiss out of her head, especially when nina looks like that.
Tumblr media
im thinking maybe it happens again. the group was hanging out, but nat and toby went off somewhere else, leaving nina and kate together. and kate offers to walk nina home, but ninas like 'what if i spend the night instead?' and kates immediately like Oh jesus christ okay. and they talk . and chat. and banter. and nina would bring up that stupid kiss and say something about 'i wouldnt mind doing that again. i mean, as friends.' and kates head is spinning.
Tumblr media
and despite all of this, nina is still in a bad headspace. before, during, and after her relationship with jeff, she has HORRIBLY low self esteem and a need for attention/validation, and she will seek it out anywhere. she'd blame it on a million and one things "oh its just for fun, oh i was just drunk, oh its not that serious, he was cute, i got his number!". especially when trying to heal her bruised ego after the whole jeff thing (alongside a few huge arguments with toby calling her out on her BS). and kate listens, and even though she's really blunt and straightforward, she doesnt feel mean. not like toby or nat or jack. so even when kates like "that doesnt make sense" "that seems stupid though" "why would you do that" ninas just laughing and being like "it just felt right in the moment! im having fun, kate!". she thinks kate just doesnt get it, on account of never being in a relationship, but kate knows whats going on. she knows why nina is the way that she is, but all she has to say is . GOODLUCK LMFAO. shes not here to control or convince or plead with anybody, and def not nina. and i think that would kinda irk nina a little. she'd kiss kate, then a couple nights later talk about a guy she met at a bar, and kate just side eyes her and is like 'have fun' and nina wishes there was more
Tumblr media
ok whether their kisses turn into anything else, i think theyd both continually agree to keep it a secret from everyone else. it would just be a huge mess that neither of them want to address, especially kate dealing with toby. but i think once kate starts getting a little affection and whatnot that she's never received (she's been in the chaser mode for over half her life, mind you), it would feel incredibly suffocating but also incredibly freeing. like she feels like something new has opened up to her, something that she got locked out of years ago. and nina has the key, unfortunately
Tumblr media
ok this is where the song and story falls apart a little cuz ninas not getting married to anyone. i guess this could be a hypothetical where she goes back to jeff for a moment in time, but.. ehh.... dunno how i feel about that. and i dont think the 'i told you so' fits kate cuz she just kinda lets nina do whatever. asks questions and is like ??? and maybe has a bit of an attitude when saying 'good luck with that', but she never tells her what to do
Tumblr media
i know "the feeling" is more about being into girls and how you cant hide from it, but i dont think the whole lesbianism thing would be their issue. in a ninakate interpretation of the song, i think 'the feeling' is either ninas issues with romance and self worth, kates ache to be with someone despite thinking she has no right to it, ninas guilt for leading kate on, and of course their literal romantic feelings...
anyway. anyway. um. cries. i just i really. i really im just. im fond of lesbians alright.

how i get all my “desires”
ive been getting everything i want lately without even doing anything, and the “method” ive been using is very simple-
think of your 3D as a bothersome friend that keeps on pranking you by hiding all your stuff (desires).
they arent even your desires, you already have them, you just have to go get then back.
get off of tumblr and lay down for a few minutes, close your eyes, breathe deeply, and just affirm that you have your “desire” and that you are taking it back.
stop checking the 3D. the 3D does not matter, YOU matter. “ugh why dont i have (desire) yet???” because you dont think that you have it. your thoughts create your reality. the 3D does not matter, it will conform to your thoughts soon. just relax in knowing that you already have your “desire”.
“i need to get into the void to get this!” no you do not. you ARE the void and need to stop putting it on a pedestal because that wont get you anywhere. if you do get into it? cool. but you dont need to at all, you are already capable of manifesting everything.
its not even manifesting, youre just realizing that you have something/taking it back from the 3D.
all you need to do is persist with your thoughts.
this does work if you think it will. i did all of this to and got all my grades up to As and there were two Bs. but i fixed them. i found them.
ik this post doesnt make any sense and im sorry but this helps me a lot and i wanted to share it 😭😭

Where should Jews live? Where do they belong? Where do you consider their native land to be? Honest question.
an honest question deserves an honest answer so here ya go:
Anywhere and everywhere. Jews- the followers of the Abrahamic religion Judaism- along with Muslims, Christians, Atheists, Sikhs, Vegans, and literally any human being under the sun have the right to live wherever they please (given certain criteria are met like visas and that it isnt a military station/ off limits area etc).
Yes my dear reader(s) you read that right; ones faith or lack thereof shouldnt be an obstacle in any aspect of ones life, be it medical services, education, job opportunities, so on and so forth. How novel.
That answers where they 'should' live (although I dont by any means impose anything on anyone; y'all do whatever as long as its legal and harms no one including yourself. God bless). Could is more accurate.
As for where they 'belong', this in my opinion is one of the beauties of religion: people from all walks of life can belong to a religion. Diversity lies at the heart of our existence as human beings and denying it is like denying the existence of the sun. Tolerance is a must if we are ever going to get along with each other. And this belonging isn't irrevocabley tied to geography. But I digress :)
Quick aside just so we're all on the same page: converting to a religion renders you just as valid and equal as someone born into a religion. Most if not all religions preach equality between their followers regardless of background, so i wont hear anything of 'oh theyre not real xyz' or 'they dont count' or any of that bs.
By this logic (religious demographics are, generally speaking, very diverse), there is no 'this set of people belong here, and those over there' ...and proof of that in a sense would be atheists/ agnostics; where would they 'belong'? Antarctica? Outer space? alright ill stop XD
If that were the case, most of the planet would be crammed in the Middle East lol [Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon alone are home to 34M (as of 2023), and the followers of the 3 main Abrahamic religions are an estimated 3.4B (as of 2020) globally. We wouldnt fit even if we used one of these]. Yeah nationality/ race/ ethnicity/ background influence and maybe even dictate one's religious identity, but it isn't the all or nothing we may think it to be.
Which brings us nicely to the next point, and here if you'll allow me i'd like to correct it to native land of Judaism (where it originated/ flourished/ spread whatever) as opposed to native land of Jews because as i mentioned above, a religion doesnt (or shouldnt) differentiate nor discriminate between its followers. By restricting them to one geographical location (and for some using it as an indicator of their authenticity) we do them great disservice as well as contradict the teachings themselves. A demonstration:
Im Jordanian right, (dad's maternal side are from bilad al sham; Syria) and im a born Muslim alhamdulillah. My dads Malaysian roommates from his uni days are also born Muslims (and have the best food lol, my all time favourite is lemak cili padi) and seperating us on the basis of them not being Arab or Middle Eastern is unislamic, intolerant, xenophobic, and wrong on every level. Alternatively, im just as Muslim as someone from Mecca or Medina. We're all Muslim. we are the world...
Circling back, Judaism the religion is native to the Holy land (I guess you can say it started in Egypt till it moved there but idk. Regardless), and Jews (adherants of the faith) can't in my humble opinion be fairly categorised as one monolithic unit... just like any and every other faith out there.
Another quick aside; this is merely a tumblr post that cant do the history and culture and intricacies and so much more of this matter a portion of the justice it deserves. I am but a tired medical student answering to the best of my abilities a question I was asked with my limited knowledge in theology and perspective in general, so do me a favour and keep that in mind. And to anyone reading this if you have questions or corrections or resources or anything you want to mention be my guest :)
If you're still here, I'm both grateful and amused. Here's what you probably came for, the piece de resistance if you will: 🍉israel🍉
Disclaimer: thanks for reading this far, but if you disagree in any way shape or form with any of the 30 human rights articles, you may as well stop reading and put your device through the shredder. Bigots, racists, fascists, anti vaxxers etc. dni
So far ive seen this idea, call it what you will, two times (which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened to me twice consecutively), that claims the freedom of Palestine equals a genocide of the Jews.
Er, no? No ma'am. One does not solve a genocide by comitting another genocide. What part of 'never again' are we missing here?
Before we get into politcal nominations and factions and other territories i dont plan on invading (pun intended) but might accidentally cross anyway (I forgot where i was going with this) i want to remind everyone that Judaism is not synonymous with Israel nor zionism (if u disagree with this go ahead and shred ur device too).
A refresher: Judaism is a religion, Israel is an illegal-occupying-apartheid-state, and Zionism is a movement/ ideology
So 'genocide of the Jews' is both wrong (diction) and more wrong (factually incorrect) in that the liberation of Palestine means freedom from oppression, discrimination, settler colonialism... the whole nine yards. Enough bloodshed already its been nearly 76 years.
When Netenyahu is eventually drop kicked out of office (and hopefully hung, drawn, and quartered for his plentiful warcrimes) what happens to the (illegal) citizens of Israel? Well first off, return the stolen homes and land to their rightful owners who have the keys (and documents if they werent tampered with or erased) to prove it.
As for the illegal-under-international-law settlements and new also illegal establishments; I have no idea what international laws will decree (not that I have that much faith in the judiciary system), but I assume they will be seized and evicted of the illegal tenants (how you like me now?) and given to those who have been displaced or homes ruined etc. because its theirs and theirs alone and it was unlawfully and cruelly taken away from them and not because the (remaining lol) former Israeli citizens can't or shouldn't live in palestine. they can go live somewhere where its legal. the priority is Palestinians tho.
What about the indigenous everyone else? As long as their houses aren't stolen or illegal they can should stay because its legal and its theirs and thats that. you cannot kick someone out of their home to give it to another (which was the basis of the creation of Israel.) because its ✨i l l e g a l✨
And the people who dont belong so to speak? I think this one's case by case; like I said at the very, very beginning; people have the right to live wherever as long as its legal and ok to do so regardless of faith or background, and no one should be denied their right to live in Palestine as a country like any other, but they certainly must be denied living in homes stolen and given to them because thats, say it with me now, illegal <3

Heyyy guys this is my first post today im going to try to enter the void state with the lullaby method! I’ve been procrastinating for way too long and me,sister and my nephew are about get kicked out our home in 9 days !!! So I will be updating u guys on my progress !!! Please comment any tips for focusing!!!!!!!
Day 1- I listened to some brown noise for 13 mins and laid down in a my regular position (on my side) started affirming not for the void state but that my sister had 10k dollars to pay for the late rent bcuz I felt like I needed to that so we can have stable housing then the void state comes along. i turned the brown noise off and tried to just fall asleep naturally and affirm I feel asleep and I affirmed but not I fall asleep anyways , I kept waking up and I just affirmed and affirmed then at 4 something am I got into sats I think and I said I am in the void state and I am I started feeling symptoms like tingling I can’t really explain it but instead I should’ve kept affirming the thing I was affirming before ( aka my sister has 10k dollars) but thats basically it I’ll keep update of any other resultss ❤️! one more thing I think I’m gonna stay awake until I get very drowsy like half asleep half awake or sats something like that .
Final update: I didn’t get into the void state butttt WE ARE NOTT GETTING EVICTED!!!

Blocked this person and I recommend y'all do the same cause I looked at their blog and it seems their entire existence revolves around disrespecting trans people. Also I recommend not actually having discourse with transphobes cause they will spew the same diarrhea drivel constantly, so you wont really get anywhere with it. Anyways have a lovely day you guys, remember that transphobes know nothing about trans people therefore cannot tell you what you are/are not.
Edit: they wont stop

Edit: happy to report I went to their blog again outta curiosity and there looks to be no longer any stuff abt trans people lmao
(they now have only one post and its sum anti-covid shot bs)
March 15th edit: this dumbass has commented on a post of mine again

im just so tired of no one caring im in pain at this point like genuinely. my doctor cant remember my name or even the country i was born in. my family is annoyed throughout the day and night because im always coughing and i cant do anything and i just laze about in my bed all day like a slob or whatever. no one i mean fucking no one in my group of irl friends has messaged me about where i am or what im doing since ive missed school. people i sit next to and talk to every single day and for nearly three years. and no one cares. i wont even see them again probably ever in like two months and even after i return i wont be able to go anywhere with them.
im scared to go anywhere or eat anything and everyone hates me for being lazy and treats me like its my fault i got fucking pneumonia or some shit. you know where i got it? taking off school to take care of my little brother so my parents could get shit done. i have 2 written and 3 oral final exams in the next month. then 2 more written and the grand oral in june. and yet next month im still skipping a week of school to take care of my siblings again. and theyre still pissed im going to take a gap year after i graduate. (note: im not like 17 or some shit i had to this redoubling BS when i arrived because i didnt speak any fucking french).
im just so tired. everything hurts. i pant like a dog when the airs too cold. i cough when i lay down to sleep and when i sleep and when i wake up and when i look at a dust molecule wrong. i already have chronic migraines, now this. im just so fucking tired and i hurt so much and no one cares. very strange! at least theres football in a couple months. and i got 30 bucks for 12 hours of babysitting my siblings without full lung capacity or internet. maybe ill get a cool shirt. i guess

vent cuz its good to get out (i have some in my drafts and notes but i keep thinking about them while posting them clears them out of my brain so)
if you read tw homophobia and racism and transphobia i guess, no replies expected (unless you wanna be a hater too)
another summer means another "dad wants to travel somewhere", and even though i said before that i dont wanna go anywhere this year, to not make them (dad and his wife) sad i said a short trip would be okay maybe.. but even that offer i had to refuse, but its always so hard! even though i always weigh the pros and cons i feel like shit every time
the pros being making my dad happy (now i also said im not going if he doesnt mind, to which he replied he does mind. while i understand that, he doesnt see my side of things) i wouldnt enjoy the trip itself ever, so theres no pros there even if we went to my dream locations, never good with them
the cons are literally hurting myself, having to be with people that will never accept me as i am, having to pretend to be someone im not, having to put a mask on and pretend to be a good little girl they think i am, like having to dress not too masc and shave and all that bs that makes me uncomfortable, even though they seem to have absolutely no idea im trans (my fav one was passing by a wedding dress store and them pointing at the store window like oh this will soon be you youre gonna wear one like that hahahaha great joke even. sadly not a joke from them) i cant even bind fully near them for safety and i have to constantly misgender myself which is ruining my mental health further
i also cannot stand that womans racist views and homophobic takes (she havent talked about that lately but i will not forget her talking about wanting gays dead. like literally she was talking about shooting them up and when i tried to reroute the convo she wouldnt stop. also same trip i said shes being racist because she was making fun of koreans and I had to apologize. not her, me. dad was on her side. i was like 19 and she called me a little kid that should not talk back. RACIST BITCH) (also love how she said shes better than me cause i was just a hs student and didnt have a job and she had to work hard and didnt go to college and shit. so in her own words im better now cause now i have a diploma and also worked at the exact same place as her so i did walk in your shoes bitch)
i dont really care if i cut them off. yes dad was nice, but i think she skewed his views and i dont see myself coming out to them (or at least him) anytime soon, and if i ever get on T i dont think i will continue talking to them anyway. i wont change them and im not here to do that anyway, and i want to stay safe
microdosing cutting them off by not going on trips with them

this harry and aussie influencer thing is getting so annoying atp. he wont say anything obviously (he should have to answer for this dumb stuff), harries are annoying and run with anything, and i would be very surprised if his team denied it. I know a lot of people were like "oh well at least they denied the h*ndall rumors immediately" but i feel that only happened because harrys team (mainly jeff) is close with the kardashians/jenners and probably knew that this bad bunny stuff was coming so the h*ndall rumors would make it look messier for her. i cant even fault his team much in this (besides not saying anything) because this is all coming from harries once again. some are believing this while still believing he's "in love" with br*d and also hooking up with random fans. and then if you ever tell them to stop spreading bs and believing he's fucking everyone he stands within 5 ft of their only response is saying "he's a grown man! stop thinking he isn't having sex" lol
Hi nonnie, that’s so odd, because honest to god after that one article I saw, I’ve not come across this topic anywhere. Is it still a thing? I mean if it helps to remove Olivia as THE ex-girlfriend in every other article, I guess that’s ok. 😅
You can easily lean back, rest assured this person won’t matter anymore in a minute, like the 80 others before her.
Stunts always have an expiry date.

largely disagree. homophobia and racism are diffrrent from each other yes but pretending one is worse thzn the other is bs. also gay peoole cannot pretend to not be gay. even ignoring being gnc getting married or dating is a huge part of human life. 99% of conversztion, media, resources, etc are dedicated to it for a reason.
gay people also aren’t welcome anywhere. in a lot of ways we have done more anti-racism action worldwide than anything against homophobia.
idk if it meant to say one is worse than the other but more that the nature of them in reality.are different , so we shldnt act like theyre entirely the same
also i agree w you about pretending to not be gay, and generally having to hide ur marriage or relationships isnt easy because its such a big part of life that its difficult to avoid being questioned on
but i think its still worth noting that while in public, being black or brown or whatever nonwhite race is always visible immediately to the onlooker. and that just presents its own different challenges than being a gay person in public, which people wont immediately know from looking at u unless u choose to dress gnc, but at least theres the option to not do that . i dont think its meant to say that gay ppl dont have issues being in public too

I’m so sorry about your pupper, I really hope the pain she is in eases soon. To hopefully distract you from that though can I get some cuddle head cannons from the men and women in the camp. :)
Tumblr media
I left these in my queue for later so these have been there since like... October? November?
Simbrah is doing better. Well... shes losing a lot of hair still. But she seems to be feeling a lot better so I’m hoping we’re on the upward trend
Anyway, cuddle HCs
Arthur
~ Arthur, sweet, touch starved man that he is, absolutely LOVES cuddles. 
~ I mean LOVES them. 
~ Any time you’re alone together, he’s pulling you close and cuddling with you. 
~ Sometimes you think you’d need a crowbar to pry yourself from this man’s grasp. 
~ Fortunately, since you love snuggles just as much, you aren’t that desperate to escape his embrace.
~ On the subject of cuddles in private, you and Arthur are in agreement. 
~ Its when you get to PDA that things differ a little bit. 
~ some of the gang tease Arthur when they see the two of you cuddling next to the camp fire. 
~ Suddenly Arthur is bashful, and doesn’t seem to even want to hold your hand. 
~ you slowly try to bring him around, get him to touch you when in public. 
~ it’s only when Micah tells him how disgusting it is that the two of you cuddle in public that he seems to snap out of it. 
~ now he won’t let you go in public either, if only to irritate the hell out of Micah. 
~ sometimes when you’re having a rough go you just walk up to him and hold him, maybe even sit on his lap.
~ he immediately puts down what he was doing and just holds you
doesn’t matter what he’s doing. if you need cuddles badly, you’ll get them
Charles
~ I Hc that Charles’ love language is touch
~ So I think he’s just as cuddly as you are
~ Any time you’re near each other, hes grabbing your hand
~ resting his hand in your back pocket (If you wear trousers)
~ forehead kisses
~ random hugs
~ in the evening, when you’re both winding down for the night, his arms are around you
~ he’ll pull you into his lap and hold you close
~ Just hold you. 
~ if he gets too cuddly and you need him to stop, he will of course respect your boundaries. 
~ but honestly you’re just as cuddly, and so it doesn’t happen often. 
~ Charles is a big, beefy guy. 
~ he loves falling asleep with you fully on top of him, pinning him securely between you and the dirt. 
~ he holds you close, makes sure the blanket is securely around you so you stay warm
~ but he will be out like a light the moment you settle in on top of him. 
Javier
~ Javier is the king of random cuddles. 
~ I’m not sure touch would be his love language, but when he finds out its yours, and that you need lots of cuddles
~ the man will not go a single day without holding you at least once. 
~ you’ll be chopping vegetables for Pearson, and Javier’s arms will snake around your waist from behind. 
~ he sees you drinking coffee in the morning, he comes and stands alongside you and rests his hand on your waist. 
~ he’s always happy to hold you close
~ he’s not ashamed of pda, but he does try to keep it a little more minimal. 
~ He’s not shy about embarrassing you though, and if he can see you’re feeling down, he’ll have you in his arms, nipping at your neck and blowing raspberries on your skin until you’re laughing and leaning into his embrace. 
~ Sometimes, when you’ve had a bad day and need cuddles, but Javier is on guard duty, you’ll go stand with him. 
~ You don’t have to say anything, just come up alongside him and rest your head on his shoulder. 
~ His arm will be around you in an instant, holding you firmly against him while he keeps guard. 
~ The two of you can stand like that for hours if need be. He’s still doing his job, still keeping an eye out for intruders, but keeping you close. 
John
~ John is definitely more flustered by your need for cuddles. 
~ he’s not really sure what to make of it at first. 
~ he’ll always give you a hug, pat your back
~ but he’s a little too shy to really snuggle with you.
~ he just ain’t used to it. 
~ give him some time though. He’ll figure it out
~ Definitely not comfortable with pda though. 
~ he’ll hold you in his arms in his tent all day and night if you need
~ but he gets super shy if you ask for cuddles in camp. 
~ He will sit next to you at the campfire. 
~ put an arm around your shoulders
~ quick pecks on the cheek or forehead. 
~ but he’ll never be the type to pull you into his lap and hold you tightly if others are around. 
~ But the man is touch starved all the same
~ so he adores those private moments in your tent
~ loves pulling your body tight against his
~ nuzzles his head against your chest
~ nearly cries when you caress his cheek. 
~ you could not pry that boy off of you if you tried. 
~ only the threat of Mrs. Grimshaw barging into your tent looking for you forces him to let you go each morning. 
~ John swears he’s never slept better than he does in your arms. 
Hosea
~ Hosea certainly appreciates the need for a good cuddle. 
~ he’s maybe not as clingy as you are
~ and his love language is probably words of affirmation
~ but he’s more than happy to wrap an arm around you while he reads his paper. 
~ Let you sit on his lap while he’s grinding herbs 
~ rest your head on his shoulder while he’s writing in his journal. 
~ After he and Dutch get into an argument is when he needs a cuddle back. 
~ something about holding you is so soothing
~ so when he’s ready to toss Dutch into the lake, he’ll find you and pull you close. 
~ he’s not going to waste his time being embarrassed by your cuddly affections. 
~ Life is too damn short to spend time worry about what others will think
~ especially when it comes to your loved ones
~ he’ll spend every moment he can with you.
~ Definitely loves holding you in his sleep
~ He’s more of a back sleeper, and his lungs are too weak to let you spend the whole night with his chest as a pillow
~ but he’s more than happy to let you nuzzle into his side and rest your head on his arm.
~ or sometimes he’ll spoon you, burying his face in your neck as you sleep. 
~ Hosea doesn’t have a private tent, so pda is really his only option. 
~ but any time anyone tries giving him any shit about being cuddly.
~ he’ll just bluntly ask which of them is in a relationship, and actually has a woman to hold and love. 
~ shuts them up pretty good. 
Dutch
~ Dutch is not the cuddliest man in the world. 
~ he’s too stressed out, too busy. 
~ begging for his attention isn’t going to get you anywhere. 
~ what will work is listening to him. 
~ the man has the weight of 20 lives on his shoulders. Of course he needs to talk things out now and then. 
~ it’s not even about getting your advice or opinions. He just needs to talk outloud. 
~ If you can sit and listen to him, let him talk things over outloud without feeling foolish, then he’ll be more prepared to give you all the cuddles you need. 
~ not in public of course. 
~ Aside from an arm around your waist, the occasional quick kiss, he can’t be seen participating in pda
~ he has to keep up an appearance. 
~ but at night, behind closed curtains, he’s all yours. 
~ he does love feeling needed like this, something easy he can do for you that doesn’t involve energy or planning or grand words. 
~ he finds it very relaxing to cuddle up with you in the evenings
~ It helps his mind unwind and he falls asleep faster when you’re holding him and he’s holding you. 
~ he especially enjoys when your arms drape around his neck and your fingers idly play with the curls on his neck as you cuddle. 
~ or when he subtly slips down to rest his head against your chest as he drifts off to sleep. 
Kieran
~ Listen the boy is so touch starved and so in need of snuggles that he wont even know what to do with himself. 
~ The first time you even hug him he freezes. 
~ Kieran.exe is broken. 
~ the first time you fall asleep snuggled against him he actually cries
~ like oh my god you are so cute and soft and warm and what are you doing with him?
~ honestly, you’re going to have to initiate most of the cuddling. 
~ he’s too damn scared. 
~ worried he’s being clingy. 
~ but if you start coming up behind him while hes working and giving him hugs, he wil melt. 
~ he’s not afraid of pda when you initiate. 
~ “They already mock me. May as well be over something good,” 
~ If you’re having a bad day and really need some cuddles, he’ll drop everything. 
~ walk over to the scout fire where he’s cleaning tack and gently push the tack. 
~ he’ll set it aside, looking up at you questioningly. 
~ if you straddle his lap and bury your face in his neck, just needing to be held
~ Kieran will hold you close and never let go. 
~ seriously, he will sleep in the dirt with you on top of him that night. He’s not letting you go. 
Bill
~ Okay but Bill might actually be needier than you are when it comes to cuddles.
~ he’s prickly on the outside, but once you’ve broken through that outer shell
~ the man is a cuddle bug. 
~ touch starved as hell. 
~ Now he will never be okay with pda. 
~ he gets way too flustered. 
~ and he’s too scared of the others teasing him
~ he’s okay with a soft kiss and a quick hug when he’s about to leave for a job. But that’s it. 
~ but once you’re curling up to go to sleep, oh the man will not be letting you go any time soon. 
~ now the two of you don’t really have a tent.
~ so maybe this technically counts as pda
~ but if anyone says anything, he’ll just say you got cold during the night, or some other bs like that. 
~ but he’s the one who pulled you close. 
~ if you’re having a bad day and need some cuddles, he’ll step out of camp with you and hold you close
~ sneak up behind him and hug him while he’s busy on guard duty. He will become putty in your arms.
Micah 
~ Micah definitely isn’t one for pda
~ and he always has a comment when you randomly come up to him and cuddle up against him. 
~ But in the end, if thats what you need, he’ll be there. 
~ he’s surprisingly warm
~ and his shoulder is actually quite soft. 
~ while he’s not the king of cuddling, there’s nothing that’ll calm his temper faster.
~ if he and Arthur just got into a big thing
~ or if a job went wrong
~ or he just woke up on the wrong side of the bed
~ feeling your arms slide around his middle and your face press against his back is a surefire way to make him smile
~ it’s the only time he won’t have anything to say
~ no sarcastic remarks. 
~ he’ll just lean back against you and let you hold him.
~ everyone knows you like cuddles, so Micah can save face if anyone says anything by saying you just wanted some cuddles. 
~ But you both know you were really doing it for him that time to calm him down.
 Sadie
~ will only initiate the cuddles if you’re having a bad day.
~ if she catches you outside of camp crying
~ or sees you sitting by yourself
~ you’re going to be cuddled to death. 
~ but the rest of the time, she’s not the one to initiate
~ you have to nuzzle up to her
~ rest your head in her lap
~ hug her arm while she’s on guard duty.
~ but any time you do she’ll just smile at you
~ kiss your forehead
~ and hold you back.
Karen
~ Very soft
~ She’s not overly affectionate
~ if you get too clingy she’s likely gonna shake you off.
~ but she doesn’t hate cuddles
~ and if you need some cuddles, Karens are Q U A L I T Y
~ big boobs = comfy pillow
~ she’ll pull you close and let you rest your head on her chest
~ stroke your hair
~ maybe hum you a song. 
Albert Mason
~ Okay Albert
~ fucking
~ LOVES CUDDLES
~ He’s not nearly as touch starved as our outlaw boys
~ I mean, he’s still touch starved, but not quite so severely. 
~ he does get flustered easily, so use your pda sparingly
~ you don’t want to set off his anxiety. 
~ but once you get into bed with him, the man will NOT let you go
~ he’s gonna hold you forever
~ seriously I hope you don’t need to pee in the night or anything
~ you ain't getting out of his grip any time soon
~ surprisingly strong 
~ loves sitting out on top of a cliff with you and just holding you while you watch nature
~ take him out to see a sunrise or a sunset
~ Find a valley with lots of deer
~ take him there and just sit with him and watch nature
~ if you’re having a bad day
~ be prepared for A BILLION kisses
~ like all over
~ he’s going to hold you close and smother your in affection
~ make sure you know just how much you’re loved
~ The cuddliest man in the world ngl
Flaco
~ very touch starved
~ just contact starved in general
~ just know, if you let him hold you
~ he ain’t ever letting you go
~ he’ll make some excuse about needing to keep you warm
~ it’s bullshit. 
~ come back from a job and immediately sit down on his lap and wrap your arms around him if you want to see his brain malfunction. 
~ he’s practically squeeing at your adorableness. 
~ honestly Flaco is the perfect match for a cuddler. 
~ he ain’t afraid of pda either
~ you’re practically always on his arm, pressed up against him.
~ honestly it just feeds his ego
~ makes him feel powerful
~ he’s seen too much to let pride overshadow love
~ he just wants you close
~ spends a lot less time sharpening wood into a spike
~ a lot more time just holding you

13rw S4 Fix
 So i did one of these for last season and I think now that I’ve had some time to think about S4 I’ll do the same. While last season I thought the issue was one character being overused. But here it seems like there were multiple smaller things that could have improved the whole season Again I’m keeping the same basic plotline and characters :) 
1) Winston 
Have Winston stay at Hillcrest. Him moving to Liberty did nothing for the main plot and he was basically a red herring through most of it. Let him try are befriend the characters from the outside. He can learn about Jess from Bryce’s trial and the news coverage and then try to befriend her at Monet’s. This is where he meets and later starts to date Alex. Since he doesn’t go to liberty school Alex sees him as a sort of escape and lets him in. Clay and Ani dont tell everyone about him because they dont know he is trying to get close to them. It makes them seem less like assholes and more like people. They don’t mention his connection to Monty because they dont realize how close he is getting to answers. Clay can still suspect he did the graffiti, after all it was a break in and a non student could have done that. Plus Estella is another red herring in the school. She serves that purpose so let Winston be the outsider looking in. His arc would still be about knowing a different Monty and not knowing who is was at Liberty but now he is literally the outsider who didn’t really get Monty, rather than it just being a figurative thing at the prom. You can still have the prom scene it would just be entirely imagined rather than the half imagined thing they went with. I think they overused the people talking to ghosts thing so here it would be a  fantasy of Monty and the relationship they had rather then a representation of what could have been. However I don’t think this would have retracted from the point. Also play him up, he is a sympathetic antagonist and it sucks how much he is sidelined for Diego. I didn’t hate Diego but Winston and him basically went through the same arc. They were pro Monty and ending up dating a member of the group, couldnt believe that member was involved and then learned something about Bryce and Monty agreed to move on and just did. All while saying they will alway care for that member of the group. It was an unnecessary rehash. Having WInston be the outsider looking in and Diego the insider looking out also lets their characters compliment each other. They should still work together, just have Winston contact him looking for Monty’s friends. It’s simple. 
2) Tyler and Tony 
Oh Tyler. The character who seems to be in the middle of everything despite never doing anything himself. I didn’t mind his arc of helping the cops find the guys who sold the illegal guns. But Tony’s suspicions, eventually leading to Clay and Tony finding out the truth and just moving on never really go anywhere. I think  it would be cool if Tyler tells Tony, despite the cops telling him not to tell anyone, because he trusts Tony. But Tony, who has had bad run ins with the cops, thinks it is a bad idea. He doesn’t want Tyler taking the deal. Tyler says its the only way the guns wont be traced back to them but Tony thinks teh cops are planning to double cross them to mind out more about Bryce and Monty. At the same time he starts getting close to that cop that takes him boxing and helps him get into college (i dont remember his name for the life of me lol). Tyler sees this as being hypocritical and pulls away. Tony still suspects Tyler is behind the lock down because he is pulling away and Tony is getting paranoid. The rest of their story can still be the same but this way they can show Tony’s paranoia and his loyalty. 
As for Tyler and Estella, It was fine. The scene of them in the bathroom was really powerful, being in the bathroom with a de la cruz and becoming comfortable because isnt her brother was really nice. This could even be another reason Tony and Tyler fight. Tony can be paranoid that Tyler is trusting her too quickly and think she will turn on him. 
3) Jess
Her arc with the principal, being scared and agreeing with the security measures before she sees them in action was really interesting. Focus more on it and less on her manipulating Diego. I did like parts of that arc for her so I don’t want it completely gone but I do think focusing on her working with the principal would have been cool. I would call more attention to her first meeting and her agreeing with the measures and slowly show her change her mind and start to turn against them. Maybe even have an early scene of her and ANi talking about it and have Jess admit she feels safer. Move the creepy cop trying to pat her down to the second or third day. So she can have a moment where they make her feel safe before the negative experience. I loved the protest and a bit better build up would have made it amazing
Her arc with Ani. They fought over Bryce... It should have been a conversation. Not a moment where Ani judges Diego and then they argue. I still think this arc should have been Chloe and Jess and should have been in last season. But they had the opportunity to include Chloe this season and just didnt. I’ll talk about this a bit more in the Zach section but I think Chloe should have been at Prom and the moment between the Ani Jess and Chloe should have been then. It would be right after Jess and Ani made up and would have been cool. 
I don’t think she should have had scenes where she saw and talked to Bryce. Yes it created some powerful moments but they could be reworked. Have WInston use his wealth to commission a positive thing in the paper about Bryce and Monty and have her talk to his idealized photo of Bryce. I will mention it in the Clay section but her hallucinations detracted from his journey with mental health. 
4) Clay
Okay two thing here the first is his arc with mental health, hallucinations, and blackouts. They used it for drama and I wish they hadnt. It should have been about him healing. I didnt mind the way they handled the realization for clay that it was him doing everything (Did they explain the symbol he kept drawing because I missed it if they did? or i just forgot because it was that forgettable lol) but I think the whole thing could have been handled a lot better and a more educated fan then I can provide a better explanation for what exactly was off about it. I will say the the therapy sessions were repetitive and I know thats realistic but for a tv show its boring. The scene were Clay goes to his home was weird and low key scary. I understand the purpose but  I wish he had called him and asked to meet at his office instead. A more likable and relatable journey for Clay with his mental health would be really good for a show that was accused of glorying suicide (personally i dont think it did. My inbox is open if you wanna talk though :))
The second thing is the phantom phone caller. I hate this trope so it might just be me but this is so stale. There are exactly two ways it could go. The person could know everything and be a real problem or the person could be fishing for information and not be a real problem. The whole thing was predicable since Winston had red herring written all over him, Estella was barely developed, and on this show it is always the football guys. Instead let the pranks be smaller and less crazy. Like these boys had to coordinate a lot to mess with Clay. There should be more than one prank and end with a Monty doll and Clay holding a knife to set up the camp episode. But they should be pranks, not the phantom caller psychological torture bs. The blood shower can also happen just on a different day. Clay can be confused about what is real and what isnt making him even more worried about his blackouts and again assuming the mental health arc is handled well, the pranks can be a real part of it. Dumping him in the pit on the camping trip also seemed kinda attempted murdery so maybe do something like tie him to a tree of the path or in a small dirt ditch not a rocky pit where if he hit his head or fell weird the team would all be murderers. 
5) Alex
His arc with Charlie was one of my favorite stories this season. I was also not bothered by him getting close to and exploring his sexuality with Winston and Zach. I’m in the minority but I’m glad Zalex wasn’t made canon and Zach was used to be an effective (kinda) ally and good friend. Plus this way Zalex can live on in the fandom untouched or ruined by the writers interpretation. 
They should have given us Alex in therapy. He tried to kill himself had a traumatic injury, an arc with steroid abuse, and an arc about killing someone. All of which were forgotten this season. All the other characters seemed to be dealing with Bryce and Monty, why not focus on Alex? Even if it isnt in therapy just let him exist in his feelings.
6) Zach
I have one major issue with Zach’s arc, the lack of Chloe. She was the reason he almost killed a man. Let them date, let him start to spiral while dating her. She doesnt know what he did. Have them grow apart on screen but her still connecting to him and not wanting to give up on him. They should go to prom together. I know the hooker was supposed to represent Zach turning into Bryce with the hookers and the drunken sex/potential rape  and cocaine. But Chloe fills the same comparison. He brings cocaine she is not okay with it, He tries to convince her to have sex in the back she is not having it. Maybe he tries to convince maybe it becomes a bit worse than that but she breaks up with him at prom and leaves early. She sees Bryce in him, she doesnt have to say it but you can see it on her face and she walks away when her mind and heart tells her to this time no making excuses. Boom Chloe actually has an arc. As for Zach this is a big wake up call for him he sees what we had become. I know it is later in the actual show but I think it should be in the prom episode so he can have a better conclusion in the finale, like the other characters. The whole season was a downward spiral and I wish we got to see more of him pulling himself out of it. If the whole finale is him getting better even though he wont be all the way done he will be in a better place up the end.
7) Justin
Okay the hard one. I think the writers really wanted to kill him. I mean a fan favorite, who did bad things, and the death would be in the series finale. this is a tv writer’s drug of choice. So I’m gonna do a fix where I still kill him first then to the ideal version. Ok so first Justin dies. No HIV/AIDS. It was out of nowhere, unneeded, and seemed a bit insensitive. If you want it to be related to his drug use, make it so he got a bad batch when he relapsed. Or maybe organ failure. If it doens’t need to be drug related it can be an accident or someone he knew on the streets getting revenge, like that drug dealer we spent time with last season. Or if Justin helps Tyler put the gun salesmen behind bars then have it be retaliation for that. He can still go to the hospital and have goodbyes but it wont be an aids diagnosis and death in the same episode. I know they had signs in earlier episodes but the timeline is still really fucked up...
An ideal ending would have him live. He can still pass out at Prom. The diagnosis can be a combination of stress and withdrawal symptoms.He can be the red herring for the person in the coffin. If Justin lives he can represent hope. He can show the audience that you can get better and things can work out. Even if you are sick and think you will die you can do better be better and live in a better world. Plus I love him and really wanted him to be happy. The message would be you can get out of a bad situation and wold have ended a sad series on a positive note. Even if you are a bad person. Even if you have bad circumstance. Even if it feels like the world is against you, it can get better if you put in the effort. Which felt like the message the show was going for in eariler seasons by showing the people on the tapes doing better but abandoned this last season.
So who would I put in the coffin. Ani’s mom. Now I know she wasn’t a well liked character and her mom wouldn’t have the same audience or character reaction Justin’s death did. But this version isn’t about making the audience sad. Ani would finally have a plot that was really about her, her mom died, Bryce’s mom basically wants to provide for her. And she isn’t sure what to do. Justins funeral felt like it was overshadowed by graduation anyway. Now Ani’s moms absence and the funeral being overshadowed both make sense. She is going to college and doing what she can to honor her mom. And the death of a parent causes Clay to immediately appreciate his own family more. The theme in the first season with Clay was appreciating and acting on his feelings for Hannah before she was gone. Ani’s mom dying is a reality check for him and he know the most important things are his family and friends. Justin’s arc was about finding a family and he did. The core of the show is about family, friends, and the importance of  a strong support system. And starting it with a mother grieving her daughter and ending it with a daughter grieving her mother would be a cool full circle moment.
This post is really long so if you read all the way down Thank you! :)

Maybe something is wrong with me personally but I feel like this fandom never wanted the characters like Clarke, Bellamy to progress to a better self, they just wanted them as they were in season 1 and that's it and from there on it's just whining about them changing.
hey! sorry for the late responce!
yes, i can see that. i do see it. i can’t say i blame people you know? i mean that is just what they want. i think sometimes a lot in fandom people complain about stuff and like how plot is written/what happens but eventually they just refuse to fall for anything other but
the SAME tropes, over and over and over again.
and i know why people like/love bellarke season 1 and i do love them too, but frankly i do love them more later on?
for me, after all i’ve seen so far from shows, that is just what it is-it is a beginning, you know? a bad boy with a good stubborn girl calling him on his bs-yes, great, i love it too but it happens in absolutely every show and while i do fall for it every time, i also want to see the change and the progress.
i do remember some folks were unhappy about them in season 2 already because they weren’t that exactly. because bellamy had switched from being the bad boy to the boy who cared about all kids and wanted to save them, be a hero and make up for his sins. they called him trying to be *too good of a guy* as if all he had to be was bad? 
and they absolutely disliked clarke. we’re talking not fandom here, we’re talking mainstream viewers aka people who just casually watch for the fun you know? but fandom too.
and i think that it proves over and over that THIS is what people want to fall for and keep falling for. what does netflix do now? a completely bs story can be turned into a success if you hire a hot 40 y/o white guy and a younger unknown girl and make a something of it right? (like w.itcher or s.ab) and that SELLS, it sells very well at that. mind you there are zero emotions anywhere in tact-as long as they throw a supposedly badass female (where you wonder if she really IS that badass) and a white hot dude who didnt drink water for weeks to get this body then it’s all good-the audience is there.
it kind of perverted with time.
but with bellarke i understand why people love their season 1 dynamic and i absolutely love it too, it’s also very easy for me to write, this particular canon and frankly i think it’s easy for writers anywhere be it on a network or fanfic to write this, it’s known, it’s banter, it’s tension but also something else underlying.
love at its early stages.
but i kind of love...who they become later.
and i will get hate but for me bellamy has always been more important than bellarke. i love bellarke dont get me wrong but bellamy always came first for me. i was and am still happy that bob didn’t want a romance early on, he was right on so so so many levels and i love how bellamy progresses. whilst season 2 is my favorite of his storylines, i also do like and understand season 3 and hurt with him and then go on the guilt journey that is season 4. 
i think that is it-to go on the journey with the character, to try and get him, truly get him as if he is your friend, your pal and listen to him when he speaks, when he goes through stuff.
a lot of talk has been done on OOC, on this being that, that being this. fandom builts its headcanons about characters.
i dont blame people, i do it too.i love writing headcanons.
but i prefer much more and for me as a person, is much more interesting to try and *get* them. not just banish it as ooc, but understand-why is this happening to him? yes, the writers may suck they’re deviating cause of the actor needing time, or they are fucking this up for a reason unbeknownst to me but from what i am given as little as there is (like season 3 sl, season 5 sl) i make sense of it in my head, try to get him. i dont like condoning things to OOC.
so yes, i do agree that people i feel sometimes didn’t want them to grow into other people, into...better selves? they didnt want bellamy to get rid of his rebel self and perhaps think better, step aside and take a moment before he acts. they didnt want clarke to be emotional, to love a child the way she loved madi.
again, i do agree with the notion-was it done well?
no. no it wasn’t always done well.
maybe it had a good intention? maybe it was just out of spite?
i dont know. i simply know i try to get them. as much as i can. but i do agree that fandom in general does not want to let them progress.
ask a person who’s watched this in one go and they’ll tell you they don’t find a grave difference between clarke in season 4 and clarke in season 5 except she now has a kid and she loves and puts them first. they wont go through that enormous change fandom did and they’d be the better judge than we are, for me for sure.
anyway! thank you for this! again sorry for the blabbing and late responce!
