#one hundred years of suffering

[justanotherignot]

For Dame Aylin fic writers/fans:

Found this in the game files and now I'm heartbroken. I always assumed Aylin breaks her oath when she kills Lorroakan because she says almost the exact words a paladin feels if they break their oath, but I, like an idiot, never even considered that she might be angry at her mother.

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 spoilers #bg3 spoilers #dame aylin #aylin #bg3 aylin #justanotherignot #i think about aylin wondering why her mother did nothing all this time #one hundred years of suffering #i'm no dnd expert but i read somewhere that gods aren't allowed to intervene #but that doesn't mean aylin can't feel like her own mother abandoned her #i hope larian gives us the rest of her and isobel's quests #it's so obvious there was supposed to be more than what got we game

today I understand why Holding Someone's Wool For The Purpose of Helping Them Wind It is an incredible act of romance. for the love of god somebody help me with this alpaca/silk blend. when will some brave and chivalrous knight save me from this alpaca/silk blend.

#news from the cupola #where's that leyendecker painting of the extremely built 18thc soldier helping his best girl with her wool. you know the one? #back on point this is the most beautiful yarn I have ever worked with but it hates me and wants me to suffer #currently I am in the part of the skein where it feels like I have been here for a hundred years and made no progress at all #it sticks to itself like GLUE if you so much as look away from it for a second and if you use too much force it will Dissolve. #after this project NO more lace weight EVER again. I am so glad that I am intertwining it with normaler yarn for the actual knitting.

Hey………. can you please tone it down with all of the horrible news about Israel? I come here to escape it all, and it’s starting to really bum me out…

You’re gonna have to unfollow me then if you wanna maintain that bubble. I will never stop sharing whats happening to the Palestinian people.

I will be completely honest, this is something we simply cannot ignore. People by the thousands, children by the thousands are being slaughtered every day. This has been happening for so long and it keeps getting worse. We can’t just look away, and if you have that privilege to do so, you should use that power to spread awareness and help. It really doesn’t take much.

What’s happening is horrible, truly vile and dehumanizing. But this is SO IMPORTANT, you have no idea anon. I can’t make you look, but I hope you understand- mothers lose their children in a blink of an eye, then die the next day. Parents cradle their children at night, because if theyre gonna die, they want to be there with them. Entire families. Gone. Schools, hospitals, mosques, graveyards, and more are being destroyed and blown to dust.

We cannot look away. We have to keep eyes on Palestine. We have to lend a hand to the Palestinian people, especially those in Gaza rn. We have to fight with and for them. If this is too much for you, unfollow me, but think hard as to why this is too hard for you. Think about why you’re able to look away, and be able to ask others to “tone it down” for your sake. I’m sorry if this sounds harsh, but I can’t not say something.

🇵🇸 From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!!! 🇵🇸

#des rambles #ask box #free palestine #kashmir has been engulfed in war and genocide for hundreds of years and is still hostile to this day #i still cant go there. the place my dad was born and raised… #im privileged to be in a safe environment. but i know genocide when i see it. i know pain when i see it #please look. please help. please speak up #no one should suffer like this. no one should have to suffer such a loss of life and culture in seconds #its not ok… its just not

me when a ship gets super popular all of a sudden but i see them as a very extremely specific flavor of queerplatonic and i have to deal with people gushing about how romantic their plot is everywhere all the time:

#sigh. #no because i can deal with romantic interpretations of some of my other ships but these guys #*gestures wildly* they don't get them like i do!!! #they're platonic life partners! they're found family but not in a nuclear family dynamic! they're equals they rely on each other #they're devoted they've had each other for hundreds of years they're tragic doomed yuri they understand each other in ways noone else can #they don't really understand each other as much as they thought #they don't kiss. they're both ace they're probs arospec TO ME. and then people started bashing people who saw them #in a familial way and although i don't completely agree with the way some people portray their dynamic through a familial lens #it really feels like they're belittling the nonromantic interpretations of their dynamic!!!!! #i can enjoy romantic versions of my other queerplatonic ships but this one just squicks me out okay aughhjhhhhhh #is this. the trials and hardships (bad takes) that others (aromantic people in fandom spaces) have had to go through #clenches fist. now i see. now that i have suffered alongside you all. now i understand what perils you all have faced #no because i'm seriously considering blocking the tag istg #epilogue speaks

Reread Spinning Silver last night. Still amazing. I’m revisiting my idea for the most terrifying Jewish community to ever exist in Litvas.

#they’re called the B’nei Miryem #show up a hundred years or so after the book #they’re. well. they’re Staryk Jews #are the human Jews not even sure how that works? yes #do they accept them as fellow Jews? Also yes #there’s a story that follows them around although the details change each telling #about a pogrom committed during the winter #and then the perpetrators suffered almost like the ones in the stories from before the treaty #and when someone asked why they could do that the Staryk responded that it was in response to losses of their own #no one knows if the story is true but it certainly has a sort of staying power #jumblr #spinning silver

oh my god I can’t imagine Meenah and Kurloz successfully talking through their feelings without Feeder Vantas holding their fronds every step of the way, and while I’m sure somebody somewhere has a pale exhibition kink (cough Gamzee cough) I don’t think Meenah is one of those somebodies. Although Meenloz have been pretty extreme exhibitionists in other ways, huh? Does Meenah get her kicks humiliating people both in both a conciliatory and concupiscent sense? But she wouldn’t want to be the one whose feelings are exposed . . .

(I've never put the words "pale exhibitionism" together in my head but I do think I've written it for Gamkar several times without necessarily meaning to lmao. That's very funny in light of another fic I'm working on right now)

RE: Meenloz, I think the humiliation part for Meenah is bound up in a sexual response, so for a purely pale relationship it wouldn't be on the table--theoretically it could be for her blurred/vacillating thing with Kurloz, but also Kurloz is much more willing to have sex over a table in front of an entire banquet than he is to be completely vulnerable emotionally for 0.2 seconds. So like, I think she knows him well enough to know that if she pushed on that it would not go well.

Also yes, HER unwillingness to express any actual emotions in any helpful way is a big part of the problem, and she definitely can't take what she dishes out. What the fuck for should she be humiliated or embarrassed or vulnerable about shit. She's the empress. Fuck off with that. 😤

#ask time! #part of the problem with Meenah and Kurloz's lack of communication is that they do actually know each other very very well #on several levels of their lives and personalities they are very much in sync and have worked together for hundreds of years #and do in fact Just Get a lot of things which gives both of them the false sense that they never need to express anything ever #and that if one of them gets something wrong they're intentionally not playing ball with The Arrangement that has largely been working #instead of just like. he doesn't know you feel that way because you've taken pains to never EVER hint to him about it EVER #case in point: Kurloz has in fact been more emotionally vulnerable with Meenah than anybody else in his life ever. But also. #never told her about Halore and never told her about the Sufferer until circumstances brought it up. and then when he DID- #-he pretty severely downplayed it and made it about the Sufferer making a move at him and not about his feelings about that. #And meenah never asked or followed up on it. #I have a lot of thoughts. I'm going to stop and try to include them in prose instead but. I have a lot of thoughts.

I still very loathe the Media Trope of ‘’cold genius man doesn’t feel emotions and never has relationships... UNTIL.. one random relatively bland Preddy Woman comes along and warps his entire personality and ability to think, his heart has grown and his seeming asexuality has evaporated, he is now Normal :)” or whatever like... AS a walking generic hermit archetype myself.. we would NOT act like that .... just let people be detached weirdos in peace, you cowards .. OR, don’t bother to write one in the first place if you find us too boring to exist realistically in our natural state lol.. pathetic 

#the only exception to this is its okay if he develops some pesudo-romantic psychologial fixation on one of his long suffering male sidekicks #or assistants or whatever (since this character acrhetype ALWAYS has some sort of like Straight Man Every Man helper to follow #him around and be an audience stand in. sometimes multiple like a whole team of assistants. sometimes just one etc.) #like a strange not-entirely-romance-but-mutualy-unhealthy-comedic-codependence w someone you worked w 25+ yrs COULD be in character. sure. #ASIDE from that one exception though..... just keep them aromantic and asexual.. why would someone who has been that way for their #entire fucking life suddenly be like ''well I've known this woman three weeks but she's really hot! whoops!'' #''guess I'm going to act completely out of character! sometimes booba so booby it fundametally alters the dna of me personality. you know ho #w it is'' .. like shut up.. explode #It's not that I project personally onto these characters (writers are bad at writing them and they're generally annoying as shit) BUT just #like... coming FROM the perspective OF a cold detached ''robot'' seeming hermit freak.. like textbook scholar wizard man locked #away in a tower somewhere type personality... You just watch shows sometimes and you can SEE that the writers are trying to write #the Character Archetype that is your actual realworld personality and you're just like 'we do NOT fucking act like that!!!' lol #you know ? like .. i don't actually care about the characters themselves but more just.. the principle of the thing. staying true to what #has been set up. You can't be like ''oh yeah this is your typical cold detached hermit weirdo with zero interest in human relationships for #the most part blah blah blah'' and then 5 minutes later be like ''WAIT GUYS!! LOOK! they're still NORMAL! look they love booba #too!!! haha hashtag Relatable!!'' .. what have you done to him.. you've massacred the archtype.. cowardly fool #Also I'm referencing them as male because this character archtetype is usually male but the same thing can apply for other gendered versions #of the archetype. it's ALWAYS annoying. no matter what it is lol. GOD AND IT'S even worse when they're supposed to be like hundreds or thous #ands of years old like.. some sort of supernatural being who's ''above it all'' because they've seen the world's cycles for so long #and blah blah and then it's like ''omg.. suddenly into romance.. for some reason all 900 years of my life nobody has ever been good #enough but YOU.. random ass person who I met 30 minutes ago and are completely average in every way or maybe you have like one #special power or are smart or something but apparently somehow I've lived 900 years without ever meeting a single other smart person #or whatever but WOW.. you... instant soulamtes.. I am no longer aromantic and asexual. I am also no longer smart.'' #at least if it's a human with a normal lifespan you can be like 'well they were only 30. maybe they genuinely did just have their first #sexul awakening' or something but.. you're telling me like.. 900 years??? 1000 years?? and NOW they're like 'whooa!!' lol #Which obviously all aroace people are different.. all people with autism or schizoid pd or any other mental illnesses that can sometimes #lend people towards that type of 'weird hermit' archetype are all different. plenty of these people WILL have relationships and sex and desi #re those things. but it's like.. if you are OBVIOUSLY setting out to write that one VERY specific archetype within the broader archetype #then GO ALL THE WAY!! you cant have someone be like HALF-detached partial-hemrit sometimes-maybe-genuis or whatever #or I guess you can but like. it should be that way from the beginning. it's the random sudden shift in personality thats jarring

[hystericfae]

I've finished reading every route in virche evermore that mattered to me ....now all I have to do is go back and read mathis' route but based on the information I've acrewed in the last 2 routes...I assume I'm in for a doozy...though I doubt anything could be worse than Lucas's route 😭

#chloe shush #so so so sad that we couldn't just kill current adolphe and be with ankou tbh #or be with both of them...even if they're...the same person #ankou is just so much more mischievous and feels more devoted like whatever yes yes they're the same person #but also they're not. one adolphe waiting 600 years suffered immense pain and was killed hundreds of times while this adolphe still hasn't #can I get the more seasoned adolphe instead #I should rank them but tbh I think it would be a tie between a few boys I like the thought of just having a foursome and calling it a day #poly for the win. ya'll get along anyway just forget lucas is a mass murderer #and had also killed you guys before 😍🥰 #waited**

[sncwbaz]

the evil forces of summer are plaguing me with constant headaches which is unacceptable because i’m in the middle of reading one hundred years of solitude, which is quickly makings its way to my nr 1 spot of fave book of all time. all i wanna do is keep reading, but reading this book is not possible while dealing with headaches (the book is already enough of a fever dream without pain warping my experience) so you see my problem. i hate it here.

#it’s not often that i come here simply to complain #but one hundred years of solitude is soooo good and i keep trying to read small bits but then my head is like NO SUFFER #and like… i don’t wanna associate this book with pain… but i wanna keep reading #i can go through endless rough times but apparently i draw the line at being kept at arms length from an extremely good book #anna rambles #negative

bc one of the Dragon Sage's primary duties is protecting Dragon Fang from dangers from the sea and monsters, they regularly are expected to perform a ritual dance to honor the souls of those who go out to find flock and don't make it back safely, as a method of appeasing their souls and putting them to rest.

The dance is typically performed on the closest full moon of a solstice/equinox and/or following natural disasters. It lasts from moonrise to sunrise; the attire of the Sage for the dance has many more loose layers tied together with cords of beads and crystal, making it much lighter than the typical feathered cloak garb, and can be done in slippers or barefoot. The Sage dances at the mountain peak overlooking all of the island and the sea around it, and residents come and go with offerings and memorials of the dead and lost.

As a Sage, the dance was one of the first things Lyric was expected to learn to do, since dancing at high altitudes requires acclimation and tolerance. Even when they have escaped to Hyrule, they will still dance, and hope it puts souls to rest.

#⋇ A HUNDRED ARMS A HUNDRED YEARS---YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND ME HERE: LEGEND OF ZELDA #* headcanon. #* ooc. #if ur like 'Dogma is this like the Sending ritual from Final Fantasy X' the answer is yes. #core memory bc that scene is so good and impactful and rituals and rites like that have been performed in various cultures forever so #but also like something something Hyrule kinda SUCKS in totk/botw and though Lyric is only a bystander #they feel the only thing they can do is hope no one is suffering in death

You know, I gave Roxy a cool snake in that one AU and then I found out my niece got a yellow crested gecko and now I am attached to the idea of working on getting one myself

It'll be a while off, but god I give a fictional character one reptile and suddenly they're everywhere what's up with that

#she let me hold the geck at her birthday party and I love it dearly lmao #what if I give Roxy a gecko too when I get one #in a hundred years when I'm able to get a geck I shall return here and tell everyone roxy has a geck in that one au #WAIT WAIT METEORS #METEORS IS PERFECT FOR GECK ACQUIRING #I WOULDN'T HAVE TO FIGURE OUT THE LEGALITY OF OWNING A GECK IN A WORLD WHERE SHIT JUST BE HAPPENIN' #/I CAN SHARE THE GECK LOVE WITH MY BLORBOS/ #YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS #THEY CAN SUFFER WITH ME

Somebody tell me why when my period is really bad I get like really into horror and just scare myself to the point I can’t sleep without my lamp hall light and my tv on a brighter setting with the volume loud enough to hear

#what’s wrong with me #thank I didn’t run into borrasca until part five was out #part five was honestly like a fix it post canon fic and was extremely comforting to learn that canonically #sherif walker gets killed by one of his victims everything gets exposed and most involved get arrested #but it still doesn’t lose the impact of that nine years passed and so many girls suffered and died #but at least over a hundred of them were saved #also it wasn’t until the fifth part that I realized the horror that is the fact that most of those girls that were killed #in the shining gentlemen WERE ALIVE #THEY DIDNT KILL THEM THEN PUT THEIR BODIES IN #THEY JUST PUT THEM IN #THOSE GIRLS WERE GROUND INTO DUST ALIVE #fuck

[girlfictions]

something i’ve been thinking about lately is like. growing up muslim right after 9/11 is something i’d never really reflected on much because it was all i’d ever known — at 5, my friend’s mum didn’t let her invite me to her birthday party because i was the only brown girl in our class, at 12, my classmates would joke about my family being part of isis, at 16, my dad was interrogated by american airport security for hours — and it always stung and it always hurt but it was just the way things were because the western world hated muslims. but i don’t think i’ve ever fully comprehended the extent to which we were hated until now.

palestine is being turned into a mass graveyard. every single day there are new photos of the atrocities being carried out against them and videos of them pleading for help and still those who can actually intervene turn a blind eye. israel is claiming to only be targeting hamas “terrorists” while bombing a refugee camp. israeli police raided and assaulted a non-zionist jewish neighbourhood. israeli soldiers are posting tiktoks of them torturing captured palestinians. this is not a complicated issue and it never has been. ethnic cleansing is being committed right in front of us. and yet the western world leaders refuse to call for a ceasefire.

and while zionist organisations accuse pro-palestine demonstrations of anti-semitism, while zionist celebrities insist that they’re afraid to leave their mansions in los angeles, a six year old muslim boy was stabbed to death and his mother wounded in the same attack in chicago. a muslim doctor was murdered while sitting outside her apartment complex in texas. hundreds of peaceful protesters have been arrested (many of whom have been jewish). despite what zionists want you to believe, this is not a jewish/muslim conflict. i have so much love and gratitude to my brave jewish brothers and sisters all over the world who are condemning israel for their actions.

ultimately, israel have been granted impunity by the west. they have slaughtered thousands upon thousands of innocent palestinians. they have bombed hospitals and schools indiscriminately. they have used white phosphorus, violating the geneva convention. they have completely eradicated nearly 900 bloodlines. how many more need to be wiped out? how many more children need to be buried underneath the rubble? how many more doctors need to be confronted with the bodies of their own family members? how many more journalists need to detail the horrific acts of violence they are witnessing? what more can be done to the palestinian people that has not been done already?

i truly believe that palestine will be free one day. i believe the palestinian people will receive the justice they finally deserve. but what breaks my heart is how much they have suffered and will continue to suffer before they are deemed worthy of help. and it would be to all of our detriment if we ignored how much of a factor palestine being a predominantly muslim state has played into the way the world has reacted to their genocide.

#edit: this is completely okay (and encouraged frankly) to reblog <3 #i just needed to get this off my chest because i don’t know how much more i can take #palestine #free palestine
