Utahime dancing Dabke !! id in alt - as always, from the river to the sea, palestine will be free

Embedded within the heart and soul of the Palestinian people, the dabke – an ancient folkloric dance native to the Levant – transcends mere artistic expression, serving as a resolute act of defiance against the Zionist state's occupation. With each rhythmic stomp and synchronised movement, Palestinians reclaim their cultural identity, defiantly asserting their existence and resilience in the face of systemic oppression, while igniting a flame of resistance that resonates with generations past and present, affirming their connection with the land. - Fadila Khalid, Dance & Defiance: Dabke as an Emblem of Resilience in Palestine

I had to ask since I saw it, but do you have an Amino account?? Just asking since I saw this and since it happens so commonly, wondered if it was an impersonation account

WHAT???!! That is NOT me, I don't have an Amino account!

Thank you for telling me about this

Please, do not trust the impersonators. My accounts are listed in my Linktree. Ask me if you're not sure.

#Asks #What the heck x'D #This shouldn't be as funny as it is #But what the hecc is written in the bio LOL #I tried to google this account to report it #Stumbled across another imposter account ASDFGHJKL #I didn't find the one you shared.. #Either way i couldn't figure out how to report for impersonation ://// #If anyone can report the account I'd be grateful #SOMEONE FOUND A 3RD impersonator account! #AMINO LMAO WHAT #Now if i ever make an acc they took all my handles LOL

haven't opened discord since january (and probably was quiet weeks before deciding to stop even looking at it too, but i don't remember for sure) and it's not like i'm planning to open it now, even thought i know that i left it on invisible and that nobody would be able to see if i'm online or not anyway. it's not even about being perceived, i just don't want to see and acknowledge that someone might've been trying to talk to me in a genuine effort to connect or check if i'm alright. let alone respond to that. i've even had a few dreams about it. keep telling myself "next week, next week i'll reach out and fix this" and then i don't. again, it's been months. when shame and guilt will inevitably overweight the feeling that causes this and i do come back, i hope i won't hear a single "i missed you" because i wouldn't even be able to reply "me too" sincerely. which is another thing. i don't really miss people. time isn't real. and it's not anyone's fault, it's not like i don't care about the people who somehow managed to get close enough (although you can argue that if i cared i wouldn't be this way, and you wouldn't be the first one), but it doesn't really help, does it? so much compassion and care completely wasted, and on me of all people

#i like people. i like interactions where it doesn't cross an arbitrary line of being too personal to freak me out and cause whatever this is #and sometimes i like having friends too but eventually something breaks. every fucking time. there are two scenarios really #i'm either a placeholder. a guy you'd be hanging out with between a breakup and finding someone new for example. you know #or i'm your chill somewhat cold friend who one day just fucks off. most likely unprovoked. wouldn't be your fault #boils down to which of those happens sooner i suppose. that's assuming you even manage to get close somehow in the first place #the only way to keep me around is to let me just be somewhere off in the distance. i'd wave at you occasionally and wish you all the best #and those of you who fit this category? i'm glad to know you and i'm grateful to have you around. genuinely. it means a lot #the only form of connection if you can call it that that's actually bearable for me. and as much as i love being alone i do need Something #benvey tag

At this point, does Luz ever sleep alone? Or do Amity and Hunter kind of have an unspoken agreement that someone should always be with her??

it's Pretty Rare for luz to sleep alone, if it ever happens. this ask got me thinking about it and going.... waugh....

i'm Very soft for the thought that, like. amity starts checking hunter's schedule. and mysteriously showing up whenever he's doing a night shift. aka when he can't sleep with luz because he's guarding her door.

amity being a totally-not-emotionally-involved cat about it like "i got a bad feeling about my roomies so i'm sleeping here tonight," and it's only like the fourth or fifth time it happens that hunter realizes Oh. this is not a streak of random uncharacteristic paranoia. this is amity making sure someone is near luz while she sleeps.

i don't think luz would pick up on it for a while because she's so certain that amity and hunter's whole Thing is, like.... a self-isolated relationship completely unrelated to her. amity thinks she's being really obvious in her friendship overtures and luz cannot read any of her cues at All. autism4autism.

#hunter being unsure whether amity is doing this for his sake or luz's but being desperately grateful either way. and hating it #amity is like i don't want to be in her inner guard i don't want to be obligated to come here i don't want to be under your command #but this is what friends do when their friends are crazy. right?? we both know she's crazy. #and hunter being like. well i'd defend her honor if it was anybody else but yeah alright. you know the deal #waugh. kiddos. #replies #toh #princess luz au #shitty idiot repression gang #and who is that other witch #lumity

When you were too passionate in the tags (and hit tag limit) that Tumblr starts breaking around you

#ernest talks #continuing where i was #i have so little time recreationally and everyone around me is busier and I've gotten more anxious and nervous over the years #and that goes for everyone else i talk to or want to talk to #and i try creating these community events like hangouts or celebrations or anything to get people coming in #or try to host stuff and we're mostly busy #I'm super super grateful when we have those hangouts work!!! I'm always so happy when people can join or make time for them #i kinda just... mourn that this too will go away and people will dissipate and the fandom goes inactive again #so i really cherish the time we make to ask each other about our day when it comes to mind #<- pointing to me saying this because I've gotten more edged in recent years and stop talking to others so i can reflect #feel like I've been too salty on fandom lately (lately like the last two years) #i also have tons of posts about like the LL fandom not being dead and I'd like that to be true #but ahhhh busy busy busyyyyyyy #I'm also generally favorable to communicating on discord instead of tumblr #which not everyone uses casually #so that's also a huge factor #asks are fun but tbh i don't get a lot of conversations continued that way #it ends up a one and done thing #either there's significant pressure in the reply to make it good that isn't usual in other text form convos #or some other reason i don't know of #conversations end quicker on tumblr so i end up relying on discord convos more

A controversial thought just occurred to me that I've tried to put into words many times now about my hero (Janis Joplin) and other musicians and people who died "tragically" (especially in a "self-inflicted" way), and that is: every time I see someone online, on Youtube or Facebook or wherever, say something (always unprompted/unrelated to what the video/photo/article/etc. is about) along the lines of, "What a waste of their talent/skill their death was," I think, What a waste their death was? What have you said of their life? Why do you only choose to comment on, and apparently highlight, their death? Did their life, and their accomplishments, and what they brought to the world while they were alive mean nothing to you? Have you not a SHRED of gratitude that they were alive at all?

I am quite sure that there is some sort of psychological explanation (and I say that with the confidence of only having a basic understanding of psychology) for why people focus particularly on people's (in this case, celebrities') "tragic" deaths, but is it not a tragedy in itself to reduce those people's lives to their deaths and the fact that they're dead? Why not appreciate what they were able to share with us while they were here? You know?

#crystal visions of lilies in the valley #like I really don't...get why people would say that so randomly. #did you run out of ways to express your gratitude? here let me get you a thesaurus. I can help with that. I MEAN...:'( #maybe it's just me and having lived most of my life with mental illness I recognize that I NEED to look at the things - and people - #that bring me the most joy with positivity and gratitude. in order to cope I need more of what I cannot generate inside myself. #so I look outward to what other people have done and it makes ME grateful to be alive to be a witness of that...even in retrospect. #like yes I will easily admit that my thoughts on this are seen through my lens of mental illness but...oh. well. maybe that's what else #people are lacking (NOT mental illness. LOL): EMPATHY. because that's often what I feel toward (people like Janis) too... #well hrm. now I don't know if THAT complicates my thoughts any either. because...MUST EVERYONE have empathy? it is certainly #valuable and a benefit but...yeah. hm. other mental health stuff to consider uh-huh. well. yes this is rather a complex issue I guess. #that doesn't cancel out the rest of this post but it does complicate it. anyone have any ideas????? please. I'd love to hear other thoughts

(wip) fuck it friday (on saturday)

Rules: Post up to five (5) filenames of your WIPs; not titles, file names.

Post a snippet from one of them. Snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. We’re posting progress here. If you haven’t made any, go make some and come back to post!

After you’ve posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. You must then write 3 sentences in that file.

totally meant to do this yesterday but then I got distracted, and you know how that goes... tagged by the amazing @the-likesofus @mysteriouslyyounggalaxy and @shortsighted-owl thank y'all so much!! ily <3

every time a tag game like this comes around, I always wish I named my docs in a more interesting way, and then I never change the names of any of my docs. anywaaaay, the names of my current wips are:

fisting wip

nancy/marjan get caught?

fake dating au

wax play wip

smutfic for minja (psst @lilbuddie)

technically i don't even have a doc for minja's fic yet, since everything i've written for it is in my notebook, but i figured since that's the fic i'm sharing a snippet of, i should list it? lol

please don't judge this, i wrote it yesterday and haven't looked at it since:

It's something he would usually be eagerly listening to and asking so many questions about, but Eddie's hand is on his thigh, hot to the touch even through Buck's jeans, and he can't focus on anything but his boyfriend. He rubs circles into Buck's inseam with his thumb, and it takes all of Buck's willpower not to glare at him for the torturous touch. But they can't afford too much attention on them, so Buck refrains, pretending he's engrossed in the conversation instead of barely listening. Chim and Maddie return a few minutes later, and Buck uses the distraction to shoot a pointed look at Eddie, grabbing the hand on his thigh to halt its movements. Wordlessly, he tries to beg Eddie to stop teasing him, but the older man just smirks before adopting a faux innocent expression and asking Maddie what song they signed up to sing.

no pressure tagging @mooshkat @lilbuddie @swiftiediaz @alyxmastershipper

#the way that most of my wips are smutty and that's why i havent finished them yet #why must I overthink smut and become insecure about it :( #eternally grateful to minja for being so excited about the fic i posted the snippet of because otherwise idk when i'd write that one either #but its such a fun idea and i'm glad for the practice writing smut and minja's excitement meaning i will actually finish it <3 #mine #tag game #fuck it friday

[toshidou]

Hi I'm autistic and bad at gauging stuff like this so I hope this doesn't come across as creepy but I just need you to know that never before have I found a blog that was filled with my EXACT both preferred style of smut (is that what the kids call it? idk I'm too ace to know that) and the type of humor that catches me off guard and is so so funny. I am obsessively and desperately reading some of the dirtiest debauchery I've ever seen in my life like a starved housewife and I can't get over how fucking funny your tags are

STOP this ask made me grin so hard pls

It's not creepy at all! Honestly I'm just so glad you aren't annoyed by it AJXJSKD i tend to just. blab. and never shut up. especially online, if i have a thought, it's going in the tags, no matter how weird, it's a problem LMFAO

but also may i just say this ask genuinely made my day, like honestly you're so funny and sweet 🥹🥹 i will do my best to keep writing debauched smut, and hilariously down bad tags AJXJSKD

#anon.exe #i got this ask during my shift and literally squealed out loud #made me do a little happy dance 🥹🥹 #my coworkers looked at me like i'd just eaten their firstborn but #it was worth it <33 #they've seen worse #aka könig's whole cock and balls thanks to one Casper #sigh #how i haven't been fired yet is beyond me #i think my boss sees me as some sort of feral cat that just showed up one day #and she feels some sort of obligation to not kick me back onto the streets #either way i'm grateful #. #this got very off topic #i am so sorry

#having a time so I'm here to rant about a couple things #I'd say I use Tumblr like a diary but I have an actual diary that I don't write this much info for #so like after being sick + concussed I'm doing much better now! no lingering symptoms of either anymore and I'm grateful #caught back up on my school work and I'm feeling in good standing for the rest of the semester #feeling fine thinking about the next couple semesters as well #basically this is just me establishing that I've been in a decent mental state lately. yay! #that's shifting a little. not entirely! I'm fine. just struggling with a couple things so I'm writing them out before they really affect me #I'm upset with my mom's opinions on gay people. she goes back and forth between really supportive and really homophobic comments so quickly #just the other day I was excited because she said something positive in response to seeing cars decked out in pride stuff #today she said lesbians can't have kids and expressed that she'd be disappointed if I 'chose' to be one bc 'there's expectations' #like what is that supposed to mean????? #I am gay and I want kids one day. those statements aren't contradictory to one another but I can't tell her that. #switching gears! #I have driving anxiety and hit and run OCD #basically driving makes me very anxious. I am constantly convinced that I've hit someone/something/caused an accident in some way #going over any bump or uneven road makes me feel certain I've ran someone over #I spend LOTS of time looking behind me in my mirrors to check for bodies/broken things/damaged vehicles or just to check for potholes #this causes further worry that I'll cause an accident by not paying attention to what is ahead of me #I also can't trust my memory. my brain tells me I've repressed memories of the accident I caused. this makes me confused to the point that #I no longer remember my route or even where I am. I'll assume I got off route and make panicked turns that actually get me lost #because of this I'm heavily reliant on visual markers to remind me I am on the right path. unfortunately it is fall now. #the nature on my route looks different than it did a couple weeks ago and it's throwing me off. plus there's new construction. #my usual environment has changed and now I'm back to being as nervous about my school commute as I was at the beginning of the semester #it's all just a lot #okay I'm done now. just needed to get that out before I went into a spiral #hope everyone is having a good night 🖤 #ashley rambles

-->It was back to the Moonwood Mill library to check out a few books! The gang even brought the pets along -- though I think there was a brief moment of regret about that when Alice went inside and found Coty the librarian in full wolf mode with Fury coming off him in waves. Fortunately, he never actually started rampaging (hell, as you can see, he actually introduced himself politely to Shadow), so the gang was able to do what they liked --

-->Namely, read books and work out! Smiler was the first one in the gym, taking a nice long run on the treadmill before coming out for a little browsing and a chat with Coty, while Victor read a couple of books, played with Shadow, and then headed for the weight machine. Alice, for her part, remained pretty laser-focused on her werewolf reading, devouring (pun intended) the book on stereotypes and the romance novel about fated mates. (Which she is not particularly interested in -- she’s FOUND her mate, thank you very much.) That completed her book goal, and thus the Werewolf Initiate aspiration! I had her choose the Emissary of the Collective aspiration afterward when the game prompted me, though I don’t think I’ll have her complete it -- she’s not really a “pack” werewolf in that sense. But the one “lone wolf” aspiration requires you to be mean, so that’s not a fit either...really, I think Alice is just more interested in leveling up her XP so she can finally get a few more powers. :p

-->As for the pets, they kept themselves amused by wandering around and greeting the other patrons -- though when Kelly began complaining of a need to go to the toilet, I realized that, oh, yeah, there wasn’t actually any pet stuff on the lot. So I threw a couple of food bowls and a covered litterbox into the “spare room” that looks like its falling apart by the entrance. Can’t do anything else with it!

#sims 4 #the lazy save #victor van dort #alice liddell #smiler always #the smiler #yeah my first thought upon seeing Coty like that was 'uh-oh' #but fortunately he never tipped over the edge #perhaps it was the fact that he was designated as the librarian that did it? #since he had a special role the game wouldn't LET him go rampaging? #hmmm #either way I am grateful he kept it together #and I just thought it would be funny for Alice to read the romance novel XD #it's so not her XD #as for being a werewolf none of the aspirations really fit her #she's just doing her own thing #if there was a nicer version of the lone wolf one maybe I'd have her do that #but as it stands #she's happy just chilling in her occult vee with Victor and Smiler #queued

I'll be dead by some time next year and I can't fucking wait.

#they're all better off without me #my stepmom said no when I asked if she'll feel relieved when I get assisted suicide #but I don't believe her #she can be mean sometimes but she also people pleases a lot and lies a lot so idk i feel like that's a fair judgement to make #i bet no one will miss me except Shelby and maybe Kayla #josh might not even know I exist and either way he's married & I might just have erotomania so all is well w that ig #as long as he'll be okay #if i can i'll watch over all the people i love here on the other side if i can #i'd rather be a spirit guide than a human #idk #i'm just so glad i can finally die for sure next year #as far as ik im eligible thankfully #grateful i won't have to live forever #there - positivity #personal #suicide tw / #suicidal tw / #death tw #ask to tag

i think i might have literally eaten several bits of mould today, but it hasn't killed me or anything so i'm just gonna assume it's all fine

#basically i spent ages making spätzle and the last step was to put the grated cheese on top #and after i'd already poured most of it on i suddenly realised that several of the pieces were mouldy #and i don't know how!! because the use-by date on the cheese isn't till june. but i did have out of date oat milk in the fridge so maybe #that cross-contaminated it. but anyway then i thought well i'm not gonna throw away all the spätzle i just made after all that!! no way!! #so i just scooped off the bits of cheese that i could see mould on and hoped there weren't TOO many other mouldy bits that had made #their way in and then i ate it and it tasted fine and i even put some in a tuppaware for tomorrow. which... hopefully won't kill me either #anyway i reckon just a LITTLE bit of mould is probably good for the immune system you know? what doesn't kill you makes you #stronger and all that? probably.

[alainascrawls]

if you watched yowapeda can you make one on Kuroda x Teshima? thanks. make it at most a T rate and do it in alpha-omega setting i guess.. oh yeah and make teshima female

Thank you!!

so my first instinct is that this is some kinda meme or troll or smthn but I've also heard horror stories of fic readers acting this entitled so it could be real but I don't understand social interaction at the best of times so I'm just gonna respond to this as if it was a serious request ig

hi! thank you for taking an interest in my work, but I do not take requests. I especially don't take requests for characters I'm only peripherally interested in and au's I'm not at all interested in. also no matter how politely you word it, it's kinda rude to approach someone you don't know and ask them to do a very specific thing for you unprompted (and on anon), and you're unlikely to get what you want this way.

and if this is a troll,,,,,,,, dude. you have better things to do with your time than bother some smalltime fic writer on tumblr dot com with your weird drama bs. I am only barely peripherally in any fandom. I don't talk to people, I barely interact even with the things I like, I literally just look, like, sometimes reblog, and rarely throw a fic or a fanart into the fray & then disappear back into the void. I am like The worst target for this nonsense lol

anyway, I hope you have a pleasant day!

#like rn I'm leaning toward someone wanting to make me mad at alpha/omega writers/readers or kuroda/teshima shippers #or maybe genderbenders or yowapeda fandom in general?? idk either way it ain't gonna work lol #also possible: general shit-stirrer #but again #this is literally like the worst blog they could've come to if they wanted that lmao #I am a frog sitting beside the pond #sometimes hopping onto a lily pad #but never jumping in for a swim #anyway I'm not even attempting to give this proper tags cuz this is Nonsense #tho if someone could explain if this is some kinda copypasta or widespread troll thing or smthn I'd be grateful !

nooooo :(

#i'm so SAD my savefile for hellblade got fuckeeeed #i died during the fight with garmr and it respawned me at the the very beginning of the level instead of back in the fight #and i was like Hm Odd but i just. made my way back to the boss through the whole thing #EXCEPT there's a bit before i actually reach the area where you fight him where senua just. acts as if the fight is on #the camera locks onto Nothing and i can't maneuver myself around the level to actually reach the boss because i can't fucking SEE #tried exiting back to menu and coming back Same tried relaunching the game Same #:( #i DID manage to get my hands on my old steam cloud save file from before i got stuck #so if anyone knows how i can use that to replace my current save file i'd be VERY grateful #because afaik there's no other fix. it's either that or i have to play the whole game again #which is. v upsetting because that's near the ending of the game GKFJDJDK #aw #i was really enjoying this nooo #edit YAAAAAY i managed to replace my fucked savefile with my old Fine one !!! #i only lost like. an hour of gameplay instead of having to redo the whole game so PHEW #hopefully it doesn't happen again gkfjd

also the webnovel has images. yonder where are the images. come on.

#aiden's monologuing #ailbtged #if you are going to make people download your app and either read one chapter a day or pay a ridiculous price #the least you can do is include the whole of the novel. the images are pretty #i found some korean raws so. i can see the images. i guess i'll just bounce back and forth so i can read a chapter and then see chap image #but also the raws have character image bubbles to indicate speech. that's really helpful. they are not in yonder. #i mean. i guess i should be grateful there's a legal way to support the author and read the webnovel in english #i'd feel better about it if authors got paid better.
