It would actually be soooo funny if prev!Golden Guard was younger than Darius. Maybe Darius doesn’t even know at first.
27 year old Darius, finally rising in the ranks of the Abomination coven and realizing that this politics thing is a little cut throat! Meeting 20 year old Golden Guard, who is insecure about his age and power, who always keeps his mask on and wears heeled boots and pitches his voice low and has never told a soul that Emperor Belos raised him, but who was weaned on power struggles. He used to hide behind the throne and watch the early coven heads tussle for power. He saw his first assassination attempt at the age of six. And the Golden Guard likes this Abomination prodigy, he’s earnest behind the smarm (he reminds him a little of the older brother he barely remembers, the first Golden Guard of Belos’ reign). So he gives him some pointers. Offers some key information. Gets him up to date on all the gossip.
Darius is head over heels and determined to impress this all knowing stranger at the head of the Emperor’s Coven. The Golden Guard is struggling with his first friend even vaguely his age (coven scouts don’t count, he throws them into death traps and they resent him for it). They develop a secret rapport, a mentorship.
And then three years later the Golden Guard is dead, and it’s strange. They bury him (he isn’t named a traitor in death though Darius knows he was getting suspicious of Belos—there was something complicated between them) and in the coffin he looks so diminished. He does some digging, asks around, interrogates castle insiders and kisses up to the oldest coven heads, and realizes to his horror that the man he so respected was young, much younger than him. A kid was slyly advising him about avoiding poisonings. A kid telling him about secret abomination techniques he’d discovered in old books. He was still his mentor, he still respects him (arguably more now) but he ought to have been attending the Bonesborough Brawl or making out with his exes at parties. All the silly stuff Darius took for granted, denied to one of the people he loved most.
Three years later he’s somewhere he oughtn’t be (someone has to carry on his mentor’s legacy of snooping) and there’s a little boy. He never saw the Golden Guard’s face but he knows that hair, knows those red eyes as seen through the slits in a mask. The first time he didn’t know he needed to be protecting anyone and this time he can’t do a thing to help.

i just don't get how calling for a cease fire is anti semitic. I also don't get how saying Israel is bombing Gaza is anti semitic when they themselves literally say they are.

The OP's complaint is that the term "Avengers level threat" is so reductive it diminishes the threats the likes of the X-Men and Fantastic Four face, thus unfairly painting them as lesser teams compared to the Avengers despite facing similar threats. But the Avengers fan is obviously so opposed to the very idea of any team, especially the fucking X-Men, being seen as equal to the Avengers they see this is dickriding slander. Some obviously got so into Avengers vs X-Men they still have it as their entire personality over a decade later.

when i was in london this summer i wanted to go to evensong at westminster abbey but the line for the free concert immediately preceding the service was so long i went into the gift shop to loiter, was faced with a display of paddington meets the king memorabilia as soon as i walked in, and immediately turned around and got on a bus to saint paul's instead

there are things abt me that i dont talk about not because im being secretive i either just forget to mention it or think no one wants to hear about it but i think it gives like important context to whats wrong with me 💖
#me when im a child of a messy divorce because my dad has crazy issues that he never got help for so he started self medicating#and dealt with addiction and got to the point of stealing money or trying to return items he never bought to walmart for a refund#and got arrested many times and eventually spent 5 years in prison which literally didnt help at all just gave him more trauma and#caused relationship issues between him and his family which left him without healthy connections and support and#then he got accused of a crime even my mom doesnt believe he did and she'd experienced horrible things from him while they were together#and so he disappeared to run from the police and hes been legally considered a missing person for many years now and it is unknown to#us or any of his family members if hes even still alive out there somewhere and ive had dreams that he comes back and#i wonder if theres something that could be done something that could help him maybe we could never truly be on good terms again but#maybe at least he could have a chance at a decent life even if its away from us#i used to sit on the couch with him and watch nascar and monster trucks when i was little#and i still have some of his nascar novelty items in my desk drawer and the pocket tool that used to be his.#the scars of his tantrums are still in our house the holes he punches in walls covered up with copy paper taped over the wall#and im sure i have the same anger issues or whatever disorders he never got properly diagnosed for because i seem to have inherited everyth#ng from him his eyes his face his hair his anger issues even his handwriting somehow#and he is why im scared of ever doing any drugs because i just know im probably genetically predisposed to addiction just like him#and i dont want that to happen to me#recently i cut my hair and i looked in the mirror and i looked just like him#when i visit my paternal grandparents and aunts and uncles i see the family photos with him hanging on the walls#and i see that large painting that used to be in our house#👍

being the only autistic kid in a small town school was probably the worst experience a person can ever have

what didn't you like about it, out of curiousity?
Hmm I’m gonna have to think on it it some more and come back to you when I’ve managed to articulate something
#I will try to get back to you later anon#I didn’t hate it. there were scenes that made me laugh and smile#but I think the prevailing feeling it’s left me with is… confusion/frustration/dissatisfaction? about the message insofar as it had one?#hmm and I think also because it made me remember how much I disliked and felt alienated by barbies growing up#not bc of the body image issues which the film makes some effort to engage with#not beauty standards but FEMININITY standards#and the movie doesn’t acknowledge that aspect of barbie as a cultural influence/reflection at all#except for maybe Allen if you squint??#the assumption is that you want to be barbie at least to some extent. you want to be pretty.#but you’re too stressed to accomplish it or you’re too angsty to embrace your desire to be pretty#the angsty teen goes from wearing all black (and pants) to a purple skirt by the end. the girly makeover subtly signifies healing.#(I know that could just be me reading into it… but is it?)#it’s the way it holds up a specific kind of person as Woman and universalizes her struggles and calls them All Women’s Struggles#while conflating them and largely ignoring actual economic/legal/political issues faced by women as a class#and the whole ken storyline… ehh idk I need it to be more internally consistent or something. to have a coherent message and not just#‘it was like I was in a trance where I thought I cared about the Zack Snyder cut of the Justice League’ as a joke about… what?#male-dominant interests being somehow inherently toxic? cool women not being into nerdy boy stuff?#it’s the old men are from mars women are from venus thing#sigh. girl power. lol I don’t know!#sorry this rambling is all I have for you right now#I thought the critique in youtube by verilybitchie touched on a lot of good points tho so maybe that’s somewhere to start#on* youtube#but it’s ok if you liked or loved it. I saw it with my sister who was super psyched for it (which is why I wanted to like it too)#and she’s great so

it’s kind of surreal that i open up tumblr to yell about the Northwest Resistance and immediately i see 1. an article on systemic bullying and harrassment in the RCMP and 2. spirit halloween refusing to take “native” costumes off the shelves because now i have to once again process that Nothing has Changed before i go back to yelling

me, existing:
my insurance, suddenly: hey do you want to track down the dude who gave you a severe concussion that’s still hurting you to try and get him to reimburse your medical bills
me: bro that was in high school. and an accident. we were playing dodgeball.
insurance: you were a minor and also dodgeballs are. not that big. dude had to be throwing it awfully fast to cause a concussion
me:
me, overthinking: ok. time to bed

Y’know, on some issues there IS no so-called “middle ground,” only action, extreme action, and inaction. And you better know the issue before you choose inaction.

One of the things I think about sometimes is that time I told my nepotism manager, in much nicer terms, to fuck around and find out if he wants to make me mad again. Then went above his head and tattled on him to his wife, the owner, and his cousin, the other owner, telling them exactly what I told him and that it wasn't an empty threat.
He backed off and pretty much leaves me alone bow lmao
#straight up told the dude that im autistic not stupid#and if he wants to stop me from doing the main part of my job#but then get mad at me for doing the other major part of my job#then its going to be his problem if he wants to make me mad again#tbh i also told him that if he pulls that shit again then im just not going to listen to him and he can suck it up#this fucker is also aware that im literally LEGALLY DISABLED because of my processing issues but acts like im not#i think he also forgot about telling me to my face that his 4y/o son would be better at the job that ive done for 8 years#until i mentioned it#because he got real quiet real quick#like yeah#i have a shit memory#but im also the type of person to remember tiny insignificant details#and being called stupid by the man who has to constantly ask you how to do shit really leaves an impression on someone#auDHD#also im the type of person who doesnt like to get angry#id much rather just laugh it off and hope the asshole has the day they deserve#but thats because im very non confrontational#and im aware of my temper that burns like thermite#ill be seemingly fine until suddenly the spark catches and my anger burns so fiercely that it scares me#i get described at work as bubbly and easy going#but in those moments youd never be able to see that as truth#but within moments the rage is gone and only apathy for the fucker who pissed me off remains#and apathy is far more unsettling than sudden rage#because now im not masking#i dont have the energy left to mask for the sake of someone who isnt worth a second of my time#and the unfortunate part of being autistic is that i know i make nerotypicals uncomfortable when i dont mask

Hey queen. You seem v knowledgeable about pro-Palestinian charities. Would you mind making a post or giving some info on which ones are really effective and honest abt their work? I've been hearing some problematic things about UNRWA, and Save the Children seems to be doing very little (as far as I am informed). I donate to PCRF and MAP, but don't know any other, smaller orgs that may also need more awareness? Thanks ♥
hello, thanks for sending this in. so i've been trying to find smaller orgs for palestine that are specifically for helping gaza, but the issue is not much aid is being let in. PCRF is a really good org in my opinion, I'd always donate to them regardless.
There's also the Palestine Museum, which does really great cultural preservation work.
Palestine Legal is a legal aid group that helps palestinian and palestinian advocacy facing legal challenges.
Palestine Action is a direct action group that helps do disruptive protests.
Samidoun helps palestinian prisioners around the world and keeps and eye on them.
Within Our Lifetime is an NYC based palestinian led organization.
Palestinian Youth Movement is a favorite for Turtle Island led Palestinian resistance.
Palestine Feminist Collective is a Turtle Island feminist movement that works to spread culture and information.
Good Shephard Collective seems to be doing good work in Bethlehem as well.
I would mostly look for mutual aid groups for people from Gaza if you want to donate to them. Aya Ghanamah retweets mutual aid groups a lot.
I might share more groups in a second reblog after I hear back on best ways to help them.
