When was I younger and reading AVoS I picked two background characters out of the allegiances and decided to ship them, just for sillies. I ended up with Eaglekit/wing and Pigeonkit/foot. I think they met as apprentices and were kind of sort of dating but Eaglepaw broke it off because she grew increasingly concerned with the warrior code. They tried staying friends but it was always kind of weird between them. Their differing stances on the impostor was the final straw on the camel's back for them

I’m happy people are realising Noah is being racist but I’m also hurt that a lot of people refused to listen to me when I said it :/
Like as an Arab in this community it really feels like my voice doesn’t matter. This situation is personal to me. I called his racism and yet a lot of people wanted to doubt and invalidate my voice.
Idk I’m just exhausted from this. I feel like this community needs to re-evaluate some things ngl. I love it regardless but I was pushed into silence because barely anyone even showed me support on my opinions on him. But now that hes being so fucking blatantly racist. Now you realise.
I want this community to be better because for the past month it didn’t feel like a safe space for me as an Arab to talk about this.

THE WEIRD AL-CANA - 15. THE DEVIL- GERMS
---
aww yeah baby germs fanart time!! so, if you are looking at this post and somehow havent heard this song. or more specifically seen the 1999 live recording of it. well. do yourself a favour and watch that for me. do this for me. okay?
okay welcome back. hopefully you understand how I feel now. the devil is a card all about 'darker urges' and that can include addictions or compulsions, which feels fairly apt for this song tbh. also its the sexuality card and the NiN pastiche is a perfect choice for that.. honestly. i was just so excited to draw germs fanart again :')

Still thinking about Jopson after the other day and I feel like there's a wee bit similarity between he and David Young that I want to discuss and weep over more.
Young clearly had an incredibly difficult, poverty-stricken upbringing 'at the Foundlings' and it shows in the way that just keeps on trucking until he breaks down completely. Enduring all the hardships and misery of Victorian Britain had been ruining his health so much from the day he was born and had been doing it so insidiously that he didn't even think much of all the horrible symptoms of illness that had been inflicting him. They were simply par for the course. He'd been enduring them all his life.
And I think Jopson's deterioration very much echoes all of that. We know he's from a working class background and endured many hardships throughout his life also whether it be, again, the usual awful vagaries of the time period or the additional mental/emotional stress related to his mother.
Like Young, Jopson seems to just keep on trucking until he breaks down completely. One minute we see him help to lift a whole adult man into a whaleboat and then, seemingly in the blink of an eye, there he is in bed going downhill fast. It's not hard to imagine that his hard life would also have had him thinking little of the horrors his body was going through and being destroyed by.
It's not hard to imagine that he also had been enduring those kinds of things all his life...

I wanna talk about something...
There was a post I saw a few days ago, that's a few years old at this point(50% sure op deactivated, but I forget). Where they were talking about how their teacher was talking about internet safety and not giving your address to a stranger on the internet because of the dangers.
op basically told their teacher that their internet friends wouldn't take advantage of them. And said to rb if you weren't a predator or smth like that. And it sort of spiraled from there. And there's two things I want to talk about with that.
Again, this post is a few years old, and no hate to op. I get it, no one wants to believe that someone they're close to or think they're close to would do something bad.
I want to make something clear here. I AM NOT SAYING THAT YOU SHOULDN'T EVER MEET YOUR INTERNET FRIENDS!
It was kind of clear to me that op was probably a younger teenager at the time this post was made(based on the fact that I was pre-teen to young teens when I started getting told things like this, and assuming that they didn't lie about their age to make an acc, which in the US is young teen years). And those years are lonely, or at least they were for me, and it seemed that way for op based on their post. But at the same time, it's not safe to give internet strangers the exact address of your house. Especially if you're not an adult.
And yes, I know I'm not the best example of this. Considering my mental breakdown a little while ago.
However, there are safe ways to meet your internet friends. Meetup in a public area, bring someone you trust irl(if you're not an adult I suggest bringing a trusted adult with you)(and encourage them to do the same!) I am not saying you shouldn't meet your internet friends irl, but it's best to be safe about it. Because at the end of the day you only know the internet persona they put on, you don't know them!
But this isn't just about that.
It's about the fact that people took that post, and then called those who scrolled past or didn't/wouldn't reblog it predators. I get that it's reblog bait in a sense. And I fall for a lot of reblog bait, I'm always scared that someone's going to hate me because I decided not to rb something. Intrusive thoughts and Anxiety are not a fun combo when seeing most of those posts. And I'm probably going to still fall for reblog bait after this as well.
And I guess this is a more general statement, but still. No one should be called names(homophobic, transphobic, aphobic, predator, etc...) because they didn't want to reblog a post. It's one thing to comment something like "reblogging this could save a life," under a post with important information. I prefer those ones, because they tell you the good impact that you could have by reblogging it.
But it's another to call people names, to say that they're a horrible person for not rbing it. And I know I've rbed stuff like that before, and I can't say that I'll be able to stop. But here's why:
I have this terrible terrible fear of people leaving me, of not being perfect enough and people hate me for it.
And these posts, they make it worse, because all of a sudden, if I don't reblog then they're talking about me. Because I saw the post and didn't reblog it. That is who these comments state they are for. And I hate it so much because I know that I'm giving this anxiety to someone else who feels similarly when I've reblogged it. But it's hard not to, when that feels like the only option. When the other option makes it feel like I'm going to lose friends, or that people will associate me with these horrible things.
I've gotten better at ignoring those posts, but I still reblog them. It's hard for me not to, almost impossible at times. And, I'm not mad at the people who reblog them, either in good faith or because they have a very similar fear to mine. But I am mad at the people who make the comments calling people those horrible things, with no regard for the context or how that affects(effects?) other people.
It sucks, because this isn't something that I can say will never happen again. I know it will. But it's also something that I am so sick and tired of.

people really out here saying you have to be polite and not tell some stupid ass celebrity to eat shit and die as if talking about your extermination and the systematic destruction of your culture that still goes on is some 'issue' where you 'don't agree on.' it's nice that its just a topic over thanksgiving dinner for you all. the fact that we can talk about other's people deaths in this way is exactly why liberalism is a fucking sham.
thinking to post a fucking thesis statement in place of a simple tweet that says stop fucking killing innocent people, stop bombing, this is murder and wrong, really shows you how this is just a gymnastic exercise where these cunts still try to stay palpable with capitalists.
many natives attempted to be reasonable with settlers and they still suffered the same fates as those that chose to fight. there is no amount of politeness or reasonableness that can serve as an adequate medium to those intent on exploiting you.
