Remember today. Remember how the world stood by and watched 2.2 million people which more than half of them are children get annihilated. Remember how Israel cut off all ways of communication and internet inside and outside of gaza, and started bombarding the strip heavily like never before with American weapons. How israel made itself look like the victim while it kills a Palestinian child every 10-15 minutes. Remember how if you're in gaza and your house got bombed, you will die either way because there is no way you can call an ambulance. You can't check on your loved ones even if they were meters away. Remember how everybody remained silent while Israelis chant and celebrate Palestinians death, and we demand the chance to live.
Remember how they bombed hospitals, mosques, churches, schools, refugee camps and houses. Remember the families who survived the first bombing in their house, only to get killed in a hospital or a camp. Remember how their defense minister called us Human Animals, our children children of the dark. Remember how the USA and Israel are testing weapons on the people of gaza. Things we've never seen before.
Remember the babies who survived the bombing while their entire family got killed. Who will tell these children their names? They experienced trauma that they don't even have the language to describe it.
Remember that we watched a genocide live, before they start changing the narrative. Remember that when this is marked in history, you were on what side. Remember the "never again" in the holocaust and Rwanda and and, but the "again and again" in gaza until everybody is dead in the most gruesome way.
Remember the killed Palestinians. They are not numbers.
If you don't have the capacity to process everything that is happening in Palestine, that's fine -- donate to one of the non-politically motivated charities that has boots on the ground there:

If you can only send $1, that's still $1 more that they have to spend on aid. Everything helps, and money always talks.
There's the whole debate on "is it incest if they fucked before they became adopted/related" but I honestly don't wanna get into that. But tbh making mederos incest is prob the point in the Emperor's move for Medea to not have to marry Eros to become emperor? (if I'm reading into this right idk)
But honestly my frustrations with Your Throne isn't only about specific events but with the story is a whole. Discrepancies and plot holes, going backwards in character development, character assassination, bad pacing, and all that. I have so many thoughts on all the different things going wrong in Your Throne but tbh it can all kinda be attributed to SAM just not being a good writer
I really hate how I've gone from avidly recommending Your Throne to telling people who ask about it to not bother or only read to a certain point or only read certain chapters if they just want psydea

Propaganda under the cut:
Psyche/Medea
look i didnt think about them before bc they havent had any moments like two months or something but that submitter is RIGHT. they are not only yuribait they are NARRATIVE FOILS yuribait. sun and moon. good and bad. heroine x villainess. lover x hater. wait that reminds me of something. anyways they counterbalance each others morals. you know how it is
I haven’t read this webtoon in forever but when I did read it I was completely convinced it was meant to be gay in canon. Medea hates Psyche for “stealing” the crown prince but Psyche was always more interested in Medea than she was in the crown prince. When they swap bodies, Medea learns how horribly Psyche is being treated and she has to help while still resenting her! Really cool stuff! But then as time went on and I looked at the comments more I realized I was apparently the only person who had gotten this impression because everyone else was just talking about which dudes they wanted Psyche and Medea to end up with. I ended up dropping it because I wasn’t interested anymorec
- they were each other's best and only friends until this prince used psyche's trauma to manipulate her because he wants her powers to become god or whatever and made it look like psyche had betrayed medea
- but after god makes them swap bodies and they discover the prince's manipulation and asssination attempts to psyche, they team up against him and become friends again
- they are the literal embodiment of 'if she's ur girl then why r we plotting ur downfall?'
- to the public medea is still this evil bully and psyche her victim so they have to pretend to throw off suspicion and keep their plans against the prince under the wraps
- which leads us to scenes like psyche throwing a pot of hot tea over herself so she has an explanation for throwing herself down to the floor and crying because "it's difficult...to fight the urge to embrace you"
- they push each other to grow as people: psyche shows medea that there is kindness in her and that she isn't the monster everyone makes her out to be, and medea inspires psyche to take a stand for what she wants
- funnily enough what they both want is to save each other
- they share so many tender touches like medea tucking psyche's hair behind her ear or psyche leaning into medea's hand cupping her face and keeping it there with her own or psyche jumping into medea's arms after not being able to see each other in a while
- they do all of this while blushing and gazing adoringly at each other mind you
- actually canon will be like blushing when thinking of each other is just a way to strengthen friendship wdym
- like medea will get flushed thinking of how amazing she thinks psyche is and psyche will be a disaster gay mess and blush hoping medea will like her most expensive nightgown she put on especially for her
- you would think i'm kidding. i'm not.
- "the person lady medea could not help but love. psyche callista and her brilliant kindness" is literally a canon line
- them ending up together would make so much sense story- and character-wise but they won't because of heteronormativity
- like 100 chapters into the comic the author goes "hey! remember the weird dude with the creepy idolization of medea? yeah they have been fuck buddies all along!"
- and now it is heavily implied medea will end up with the creepy dude and psyche with this priest dude or whatever that was thrown in last minute
- like yea ok
anyways, if u need pictures for the tournament there's a bunch of promo art that's gay as fuck like: https://64.media.tumblr.com/130a141740127fcbec485dc4744451e2/af89cd9ef2d9e353-9f/s1280x1920/cfbce302e33f26965dc6efe26da79a331b53b610.jpg

another suggestion? https://64.media.tumblr.com/0c3208bfeaab823ae7b7bac1d2d10034/47b963ead732be8a-de/s1280x1920/41baaa9eab71a68b33e0dac037eb2fcd3b243124.png
uhmm what else uh did i mention medea is this badass sword master and psyche is learning to wield a sword in secret to be able to fight for herself and medea
Himiko/Ochako
Ochako, said “If you’re still willing to talk, I’ll give you my blood for the rest of my life. So let’s have that chat about romance!” (Himiko has said she views sucking blood as her version kissing). This is a chapter after getting stabbed by Toga btw, they are in the middle of a war.
Uraraka is feeling her body go cold but all she can think of is touching the sorrow inside Toga. In chapter 394, Uraraka and Toga are having a low-key ghibli-coded scene of falling from the sky while holding hands and crying/smiling. Most importantly, in one panel, Uraraka embraces a naked Toga in her arms and they have their faces close together while they look like they’re kissing.
Ochako says Toga’s smile is amazing. Toga asks her if she’s cute and Uraraka responds “cutest in the whole world” and this is especially impactful because, for her whole life, everyone told Toga that her smile was creepy and scary.
It might be semi-canon (as in one sided) but for the longest time, Toga’s crushes have been considered not what she’s looking for and shallow, plus she had recently lost feelings for Ochako. In this chapter, she thinks “I thought I was done with these feelings, yet I…”
the last two chapters….. they r fighting and ochaco tells himiko she has the cutest smile in the whole world and himiko wishes she had met ochaco earlier so she could experience love and ochaco says if they survive this she would be happy to give himiko blood for the rest of her life and they fall and then ochacos dying and himiko says she will give all of her blood to ochaco bc she wants her to live
i havent read mha btw. i only know togachaco. and what else is there tbh
I don't think Eros becoming a Medea simp is that bad, cuz the idea of "love" becoming his downfall when he used it to manipulate Psyche and start this whole shitstorm is interesting. But also, I don't want all the conflict between Eros and Medea to all just come down to that. I wanna see Medea defeat him of her own abilities, not just taking advantage of a weakness that he just so happened to create by himself
