I think that this was the first time one of my posts truly broke containment which was horrible, anyway here is the original version I made a million years ago, Karkat actually gets to hold the honorable fujoshi title because he would the end.
as a jew, seeing what all of these israeli leaders have said is sickening. as a jew, anti-palestinian rhetoric is sickening. as a jew, zionism is sickening.
how dare my people -- a people who've been massacred, ethnically cleansed, dehumanized, forcibly removed, and discriminated on religious grounds for their entire existence -- do the same to another people? how dare we turn our backs on them, when they suffer like we have?
i understand that so much of us have been fed zionist propaganda our entire lives; the same happened to me. i understand the desire for a homeland where we don't have to fear antisemitism at every turn; i want that too. but it doesn't take much thought to understand that a homeland for us, which actively oppresses and kills another people, is antithetical to what we want.
if you, as a member of an oppressed group, believe that your freedom and safety can only exist when you oppress another group, you are acting no better than the people who oppressed you. such a belief is horrible, and cynical, and wrong.
as a jew, i want jewish people to be happy and safe and connected to our heritage; as a jew, i also want other peoples to be happy and safe and connected to their heritage.
don't call the palestinians "amalek". you are turning us into amalek.
doesn't the torah tell us to have empathy for those beaten down by the world? doesn't the torah tell us to make the world a better place? doesn't the torah tell us to free people of their shackles and help them escape oppression?
i have so many israeli aunts and uncles and cousins; i fear for their safety. of course, my parents do as well. i'm worried that this fear, in addition to anything they were led to believe earlier in life, is placing my parents even deeper in the zionist camp. but it doesn't have to be this way! my relatives' safety does not rely on the continued oppression of gaza!
it is easy to be uninformed, to be swayed by propaganda, to blindly hope that israel was founded in good faith -- but we can't lie to ourselves. a world steeped in senseless hatred (which we are now promoting!) could never be a home for us. none of us are free, liberated, equal, until all of us are.
as a jew, to other jews, i implore that we stand with our palestinian siblings. i want us all to be happy and safe. i want us all to live in harmony -- in the holy land and around the world. that is what we all deserve. <3
fun fact! with the exception of tekken 6 and seemingly tekken 8, devil jin always has longer bangs than jin. (a detail that was even added in tekken 7 somehow!) why this is being omitted in tekken 8, and why it wasn't in tekken 6 either, is unknown.
Did Leslie really freak people out much? I liked her. The room and the way she spoke, yelling aside, and just. The whole scene. Felt like it had a sense of comfort, warmth, safety to it. I would've stayed there even after being yelled at lol
But no, it didn't come off as sinister or creepy like some people I've noticed seem to see it as. She didn't want to stay in a creepy room I assume, if anything she reminded me of a non-fandom oc I have who is basically a goddess who watches over people and shakes things up in whatever way she thinks would be most entertaining, basically how a self-insert of my writing prefrences would look lmao, everyone is her puppets and she is the puppet master. Why would the puppet master want the danger to come to THEM? That's her toys job, even for her favorites (especially for her favorites lol)
Basically she comes off as the writer fell into their story so they wrote themself a safe space to keep the story going and themself alive or something sorry I went on a tangent lol
@freedfromortalcoil If you add a clipping mask to a layer it makes it so that it'll only show up if there's something there on the layer beneath it
[ I didn't think my explanation was that clear so I added a lil demonstration too <3 - The layers are depicted in the bottom right & the little arrow thingy shows which layers have clipping masks/what they're clipped to ]
I've found it pretty helpful when it comes to trying to add shading, so I only have to pay attention to staying in the lines once xD
the sheer amount...of writing....that i have posted on ao3 but not on tumblr.....oh my god 😭 😭
i hate posting anything to tumblr bc the tag system is so frustrating (especially when :) you know :) your post won’t show in the main tags despite it :)) but wow it’s like. i have not posted anything here in ages. i have full fics and series out that just never made it over here. starting tomorrow i’m gonna start posting at least one thing a day so i can begin the transfer like i am so sorry to everyone following me but wow posting on tumblr is so much harder 😭 😭
Connor Hawke being asexual is the best thing I have ever seen on page. I cried reading his story in DC Pride. Genuinely cried in front of my mum over it.
