A Hetalia event for myths: Greek, Egyptian, Roman, Japanese, Norse, whatever you like!
Want to depict Hetalia characters as gods, goddesses, monsters, or other mythological figures? Then this event is for you!
You can put them in the roles of specific characters (e.g. Hades, Anubis, Ameterasu, Medusa, Odysseus) or you can depict them as a mythological creature in general (e.g. centaur, kitsune, rusalka). Ships are welcome, too.
Please let me know in the comments or tags if this idea appeals to you!
And please reblog so I can reach more people who might be interested.
HAPPY INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' DAY TO THE RIGHTFUL CUSTODIANS OF TURTLE ISLAND AND THE RIGHTFUL CUSTODIANS OF OCCUPIED PALESTINE! SOLIDARITY WITH THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THE WORLD!
Choose peace rather than confrontation. Except in cases where we cannot get, where we cannot proceed, where we cannot move forward. Then if the only alternative is violence, we will use violence.
patients who were in al shifaa hospital had to evacuate and leave to southern gaza. patients with first degree burns, patients who have lost limbs, patients who have lost blood, patients who have been starved by the israeli-american-british-french-egyptian-arab siege and blockade on gaza, patients who had no access to any food or water or medicine for the last few days ARE FORCED TO LEAVE A HOSPITAL AND WALK 15 KILOMETERS SOUTH ON FOOT.
an eyewitness medical staff told al Jazeera: "i've seen men, women and children falling on the streets, barely able to stand on their feet let alone walk FIFTEEN KILOMETERS, THEY WILL DIE (HE SAID) THEY'VE BEEN GIVEN A DEATH SENTENCE BY THE IOF. if these people don't die from the fatigue they will be murdered by iof snipers who have been killing people randomly at check points or they will be kidnapped like many more. dead bodies are everywhere. the scenes are heart wrenching. this is not the gaza we know. everything is destroyed.
the israelis refused to let ambulances get to al shifaa to help evacuate people. and the iof forces destroyed all the vehicles parked in the hospital and put them on top of each other to make it impossible to use them. doctors refused to leave their patients behind, so around 250 patients who cannot move at all have stayed in the hospital accompanied by their doctors. the iof is planning to make al shifaa hospital a military base for his soldiers to rest and operate."
[the translation is mine and it is not word for word and this video is just a part of his testimony. but i tried to sum up everything he said]
what has this world become. how can anyone of those politicians, leaders and international organizations lift their heads and bluntly support Israel and make excuses for its war. how are they still bluntly and shamelessly calling hamas terrorists when we are all seeing who the terrorists really are. how can any human being witness all of this and still thinks "zionism is sexy" and chooses to "stand with Israel" and still thinks this is "self-defense"
The way they're acting like "ceasefire" means "go blow yourselves up" is just. A ceasefire is nothing. It's less than the bare minimum. It's not "rebuild what you destroyed." It's not "pay the victims remaining of the families you killed." It's not "rehabilitate Gaza." It's not any of the demands that could be made in this situation. It's just... Stop. Stop killing them. And even that is treated like it's so fucking extreme and if you call for it you must want Jews to die. Politicians with an agenda can really demonize anything.
