THE WHITE DOOR

He never called her “the woman he loved” until she was dead in his arms. 

Her killer was a a man whom Bastian admired; but Bastian wronged him anyway, and he was savage and exacting in his vengeance. So: Bastian too is savage and exacting, and far less admirable. 

Though revenge provided no abatement of his grief, it was required by the circumstances.

It is not enough by far.

He readies his companions to set out for the continent of Death itself. He knows only one man who has been there, and that man returned blinded, bitter, and heartbroken: but the dark prince loves his wife, and a knife will not keep him from her. Nor will the endless miles of the white countries, nor the threat of mutilation, nor the will of any God.

He expects horror. He will bring it himself.

His wise wife, his fairy wife: he trusts she knows that he is coming.

#in the depths of the plague our protagonist sets out to reckon with Death Itself #first of all a thousand props to Emily who did not break character for a second when Bastian found his wife murdered #she roleplayed it to the hilt #exacted a terrible revenge #and then immediately started making plans to set out for the White Door: #the dreaded gateway to the empires of the dead #along the way Bastian discovered how much each of his companions truly loved him #that although he started out viewing all of them as merely tools to facilitate his rise - he has been good to them #he took care of his people #and - to his grief-stricken amazement - they rallied to his side in his calamity #the dark prince - the villain of so many other stories - is more than just the hero of his own #he is the hero of theirs #and soon: the hero of his wife's #I'm so fucking feral to go to the white countries and watch Bastian face The Horrors to save his beloved y'all I'm going Ape Shit #heretic #dice matters

I feel like tags like these were inevitable on the post about people traumatising themselves for the greater good or w/e... There is SO much emphasis on posting on tumblr and other social media being so important and so useful and we must never stop. But I would like to counterargue with the idea that posting on social media (especially tumblr) constantly does very little/nothing. If that was true then the point here becomes meaningless.

#i guess i must be broken according to this person because i don't seem to feel emotions the way they feel helps palestine #activists in palestine are also calling for a general strike where no one goes to work and that has yet to materialise in a meaningful way #because people keep watering it down by saying 'oh it's ok just post constantly/about nothing else than palestine on social media' #yeah awesome great- look i'm sure there are people in palestine saying get the word out about our suffering etc #but they are also calling for more meaningful symbolic gestures like strikes which as far as I know no western country has delivered #because that would take a lot of organising and much less guilt tripping and people spending all their time posting #and comfort always comes up- comfort and discomfort- what even is comfort? #is feeling ok in your own mind an insult to palestine? #are there people losing everything in wars feeling better because someone in the west feels really really bad about their pain? #like sorry to be facetious but what on earth does any of this rhetoric accomplish #i spent years thinking like this and it made me so sick and now i'm better i am DONE with it- i cannot go back to this thinking #i can only live if i bend away from this kind of thinking like a plant to light- and i want to help others but people just won't stop #please- post on social media if you like. it doesn't help anyone to view the depths of their pain and feel bad #it is better to look towards hope a ceasefire and a resolution and end to the killing of palestinians for good #that can happen!!! #i think avoiding misinformation and dehumanising rhetoric about either side is also very important #i fully believe you can only understand geopolitics and war if you see everyone as human

#things im really grateful for: moved out and away! to the other side of the country! for a new job (first job!!!!!) which was terrifying but #it's been FIVE months and ive genuinely never felt prouder of myself for making it through!!!!! #and even though there HAS been some really really Bad Brain Days this job has allowed me to meet so many interesting people #and it also has allowed me to have a better view of my future; to understand what i really want to do; and given me the boost i needed to #work extra hard to get into my masters program (asylum and immigration law!!!) #ive also became less of a people pleaser and learned to stood up for myself more; get more accomodations and opportunities without stopping #myself to get them bc i didnt deserve them or whatever #i did SO many scary things that felt like pulling my own teeth out but 95% of these things worked out okay in the end #i even got a new job opportunity!!!! i was OFFERED a job????!?!?!?!???! can you believe it????!?!? #GOT MY AUTISM DIAGNOSIS #came out to my therapist! said a lot of scary things to scary people but i did it SCARED.

China is and has been doing the same to Uyghur people that is happening within Gaza right now. The US made a human rights policy act for them, so why are they supporting Israel? This is almost identical to what is happening in Gaza, yet western powers only care about the 'countries' that further their own agenda at that time

#i live in a 'western country' #and I have yet to hear our government mention the horrible things going on #free gaza #palestine #uyghurs #controversial #if you want to discuss #dont come in my messages harassing me and my views #give me facts and explain your side

the narrative that people who arent voting for biden are doing so to "punish him" is so fucking weird and uncomfortable and out of touch. i cant do a damn thing to punish him. im not voting for him because I DONT WANT TO VOTE FOR A GENOCIDAL VILLAIN.

#txt #like can people get out of their fucking chess grandmaster view of politics and go back to the human side of things??? #im not PUNISHING him. im not trying to BULLY him #)i would if i could) #im trying to NOT HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING IN GENOCIDE RUNNING MY COUNTRY??? #hey guys remember when i said i didnt want my parents to talk about voting again #guess what happened. i bet youll never guess

rambling dont mind me

#thinking about how the difference between me n my other indigenous friends is like a border or two #thats it #and how that really just can totally remove everything i have to say from relevancy with other indigenous people #like my yukayeke vs my cousins tribe n clan #function completely differently #which makes sense like we're ages apart #literally different countries and opposite sides even if we werent #but i think like #as soon as you get south of the border the 'rules' that northern dudes have made kinda stop applying how you think they do #like my cousin is metis and taino because theyre my cousin #or more theyd be a part of my yukayeke if theyd learn about it i guess is more accurate like #its a bit more complex than how im saying it but yk #but i cant be part of their clan or tribe #which mind you is FINE like its not a bother or anything like that and i dont necessarily even know if id join given the choice #but i find it really interesting like #something about the timezone of when you got colonized and where that border is really changed us #i dont think we need to be this divided in our views is kinda the other thing but also i think that we currently need how certain things ar #like how theyre different #just in order to deal with the surrounding population of people #like shit my boyfriend's family would NEVER admit theyre indigenous even though he wants to reconnect #whereas white cherokee grandma is a whole thing here #well excluding the aztecs but his family considers them dead so im not counting that rn #versus like my taino ass #we're having a whole resurgence of people trying to be proud of their blood in puerto rico #its a HUGE thing to say 'oh fuck we're not dead' like its a MAJOR event thats been happening for the past few years #and its great! its like actually fantastic! #and i really GENUINELY hope it doesnt end up with our yukayekes becoming even more closed off #i hope it ends with 'youre taino? come learn then.' and then we learn #because fuck if i dont love my people but fuck if im not sick of people claiming shit for fun too #idk

Australian Greens senator describing Posie Parker and her fellow terf supporters:

#for anyone not living in aus . this past week a very outspoken far-right terf has been 'touring' the country #if you could even call it a tour. every place she's visited has had her be absolutely drowned out by trans rights counter-protests #and then surprise surprise! when in melbourne actual neo-nazis turned up and 'hijacked' her speech #(little bit hard for your rally to get 'hijacked' by the same type of people you share your views with but anyway) #auspol #trans #transphobia #i know the greens are far from perfect but it's at least nice to see someone actually stand up against it instead of labor's whishy washy #'respect people on both sides of the debate' centrist bs #or the coalition's outright attempts to provide legislative protection to bigots

I think it's pretty well established now that Edelgard and Dimitri are foils to each other in that one looks to the future and the other to the past and that's a huge part of why their outlook on the war and what they went through is so different, but I haven't seen it pointed out and discussed yet that a good chunk of their classmates follow that theme as well.

(I haven't seen all the Blue Lions' supports so this is in general, from the Academy phase's supports I've seen, which means I may lack a specific example one way or the other, but is still globally accurate, at least for their Academy phase)

In the Blue Lions House, based on the students' supports with each other, the most obvious are Ingrid, still mourning and resenting the loss of her fiancé, Felix, still mourning the loss of his brother and focused on that one day he saw Dimitri rampage and those two things being basically the only things that inform his decisions, and Dedue, who literally tries to push EVERYONE away because of how still hung up on the Tragedy of Duscur the Kingdom is and how anyone who spends time with him would be shunned for it (though he does look forward to Dimitri's reign because he believes Dimitri will change things in Faerghus, but most of his supports are still based on the Tragedy of Duscur still impacting his life to this day). Sylvain also fits because bad past examples and relationships have taught him that women are only interested in his blood line ; he doesn't ever talk about finding someone who would think differently, for example, he stays hung up on the past and doesn't even consider the future, at least not as something that could bring a change. Mercedes is less hung up on her past, though still quite focused on what happened to her mother, her brother and herself and wanting to find her brother so they can be happy again, like when they were children. Annette and Ashe, from what I've seen, don't fit the theme.

In the Black Eagles House, the most obviously focused on the future are Dorothea, who talks about her past but only to explain why she's so focused on securing a good future for herself, Ferdinand, who can't SHUT UP about becoming Edelgard's Prime Minister and guiding her in her reign, Petra, who holds a grudge against Caspar's father for killing her own, but whose supports pretty much all mention her desire to make Brigid an equal to Adrestia and ensure a bright future for her people, and Caspar, who is focused only on getting stronger to carve his own path in life. Hubert, of course, being aware of Edelgard's plans, is also solely focused on the future, though always only related to Edelgard and her goals, never his own person outside of his work ; Linhardt is neutral, as he focuses only on Crests ; Bernadetta has been traumatised by her past, but she's not hung up about it, she's only focusing on how afraid she is in the present, so I'd say she's neutral as well.

It always struck me as odd that no one, among the Black Eagles, ever said a word about the Insurrection of the Seven, Edelgard's time in the Kingdom when she sought asylum there, or Edelgard's siblings when, in comparison, the Blue Lions wouldn't SHUT UP about the Tragedy of Duscur and the Faerghus Four's childhood friendship. Even Edelgard and Hubert barely ever mention that they knew each other as children (Edelgard only tells you once, in Hubert's introduction I believe, that he has served her since she was a child) and the others never mention any time spent with Edelgard as children (the only ones who admit they saw each other often as kids are Caspar and Linhardt, but it doesn't even really come up in their supports, when the Faerghus Four's supports with each other are FULL of reminders of their shared past). Now I think it's to further emphasise the themes of their houses : the Black Eagles represent rebellion and the desire to shape their futures the way they see fit while the Blue Lions represent order, discipline and the shackles of the past.

It's really super interesting on a meta level. I haven't played VW yet but I'm curious to see if a similar theme is shared through the House, or if it's a patchwork of different goals and focuses, to represent how disparate the Alliance is and how they can never make a unanimous choice.

#fire emblem three houses #black eagles #blue lions #side note but that may be part of why the fandom is so divided between their fave houses #some fans prefer the drama of the past and it still impacting the present until the characters find resolution and peace if they can #others prefer storylines where the past forged the characters' persona and views #but they're not held back by it and instead focus on their future and how to make it better than their past #that's also why I like Byleth's storyline in CF the most (based on what I know of the others) #they get fused with Sothis without their consent and in 3/4 routes it means they end up running the Church with or without the country #no real agency they're just symbolically the best for the job and have to fix past mistakes #in CF however their actions (killing Rhea and yeah I assume that's the thing that prompts the disparition of the Crest Stone #the fact that Byleth made the decision to kill Rhea to free Fodlan of her hold and unconsciously also rejecting Sothis at the same time #''when humans stand together there's no need for gods'' so Byleth rejects the god in her to go back to being human) #anyway their actions in CF lead to them rejecting Sothis' power and everything that comes with it including expectations for their future #meaning they finally get the agency to decide what they want to do and how they want to help #instead of the Lord/Rhea telling them ''I entrust you with this'' and not being able to really say no #Byleth rebels and shapes their own future

A funny Take It Like A Man thing - George remains convinced the straight men he comes across who have encounters with men are all in denial about their sexuality, secretly gay but deeply ashamed of themselves and too cowardly to overcome it. Even though he began to engage sexually with women while in the midst of his addiction. 

#this isn't to say a great number of those men were not in denial ofc #it's just wild to see his fairly narrow views of sexuality not getting challenged #after dipping his toes into the crazy world of party drugs and having some strange side effects #an honorary mention also goes to being heartbroken about jon's 'cheating' and lack of interest in spending time with him #while he was regularly leaving the country to party with friends and fuck random guys #this book is an ode to hypocrisy lmao

Salam, Sister. Can we see Asif being carried/cared for by Ahmad Massoud. I felt this suggestion would greatly benefit the Afghan audience to quell some rage against Pakistanis. Remember, Afghanistan is very diverse so to portray Asif as only a pushton is insulting.

Dear Anon, i feel like an ask like this is a bit too controversial for me to draw or answer. As this is just a platform i like to discuss and create Hetalia - related things, i usually like to keep things more generalized and less tense.

Afghans may have anger with regards to Pakistan's political leadership (current or in the past), but i don't think any hatred should translate into hatred for the normal, average person. If some people are too narrow-minded to understand this basic thing, then it is not my business to indulge them either. It is not my responsibility to educate people who are hellbent on their biased hatred-filled views and neither would i encourage such a person to so much as even engage with me.

But yes, i agree that Afghanistan is much more than just it's Pashtun group :D I completely agree with you on that. I need to do more research on the other different groups of Afghanistan in order to add to his overall quirks and maybe personality. However, correct me if i'm wrong, the reason why i give more emphasis on the Pashtun group is because the current Afghanistan exists due to the conquests of Afghan/Pashtun dynasties on non-Pashtun regions. And historically people used to consider Afghan and Pashtun to be synonymous to one another. It's only recent that i've seen people trying to diverge Afghan from just being synonymous to Pashtun, and into a much more inclusive national identity for Afghan Tajiks, Uzbeks, Turkmens, Baloch, Hazaras, Nuristanis etc etc Consider reading some of my old posts regarding Afghanistan :) I have explained some things related to it there.

#ooc #answered ask #thanks for asking! #I'm just extending neighbourly courtesy because Hetalia is just an anime where people tend to try to look for their own countries #to see if they have any representation #i have tried doing that for my own country as a means to give myself something to relate to #so it doesn't hurt me to try to extend that friendly courtesy to other unrepresented countries either #like Afghanistan #i'm not actively trying to fix anything here #i'm just having fun #and maybe giving some advices and my views on stuff here and there #if you want to learn something from that then you are able to #if not then you can just focus on the silly side of things

I didn't want to leave the country but I legit feel like a victim of abuse that has to escape from their abuser and run as far away from them as possible :/
