So Hamas’ strategy worked on you. They never thought they could defeat Israel militarily. They want international sympathy and they have been using propaganda to accomplish that.
Hamas *celebrates* its casualties. Think about that.
Buddy, I grew up on the news of what's been happening in Palestine. All of this isn't recent development for me to believe the 'hamas bad, Israel defending itself' propaganda . Especially since most of the things said to be done by Hamas or Palestine are always debunked with solid proof as something Israeli occupation has been doing or ends up doing. One of those solid proofs being their own words and TikToks. I don't give a flying fuck about militia groups of any place.
I care about the people. Millions of innocent civilians being put through countless atrocities by Israel and it has been happening for decades. Hamas here is also a scapegoat at the moment for Zionists to point at with no basis to distract from or try to justify the genocide
Do you condemn the killing of babies?
Do you condemn bloody gory massacres and no mercy raids?
Do you condemn forced famine? Holding back life supporting supplies?
Do you condemn the use of white phosphorus bombs?
Do you condemn armed soldiers attacking children?
Do you condemn terrorism and rape?
Or are you gonna come in my inbox next saying it's all fair game when it's on Palestinians? Then you'll just contradict yourself, like you all always do, with your own words.
As for the last line of your ask, allow me to remind you, to remind EVERYONE, about the videos Israelis made of cheering when bombs were blasted upon Gaza in October, about the TikToks Israelis made of mocking those dying and they included their children in the mocking, videos of an Israeli man opening and closing his taps and turning off and on his lights with a cheery smiles when Israel first cut off the water and electricity in Gaza, TikToks of IOF soldiers hanging private clothing of Palestinian women as trophies on their tanks, so many videos IOF made of stealing toys and private property and laughing, all the witness accounts of IOF soldiers forcing family members to watch each other get shot like it's a game.
Who's the one celebrating?
I didn't fall for any strategy, I've been in the know before any of this, particularly the event that is consistently being used by Zionists to use as a scapegoat, even started. Find someone else to ragebait, it's not gonna work here.

okay, fuck it. let's talk about remorse. more specifically, the lack of it
there was a post going around a while ago that claimed that izaya couldn't possibly have aspd, because he feels remorse, and its simply so subtle that it's hard to pick up on, and he simply hides it to maintain his image. given that this post is a jab at me and my work, i feel no guilt nor will feel remorse over jabbing right back.
(especially since, if you pay attention to the wording of the post and OP themselves, it's clear that they had a... certain other neurodiverse headcanon for izaya, and was for some reason mad at me for having a different one)
(but i digress)
let's talk remorse.
first of all, the "lack of remorse" criterion isn't, as some might be tempted to think, the most important "hallmark" symptom of aspd. let's break down how disorders are diagnosed!
in the DSM, disorder symptoms are classed into criteria. these criteria are sometimes grouped together. here's the criteria list for ASPD in the dsm-5-tr, the most current version;
under group A, we have the standard "this is what the disorder is like, and these are the symptoms of it. you need X amount to have this disorder." the criteria listed in groups B, C, and D are on their own because they are required for diagnosis. if the lack of remorse criterion was truly SO important that it was the hallmark of the disorder, the one symptom that sets it apart from all cluster B disorders, then it would be in its own group like those 3 criterion! but it's not, because while it's the symptom most people associate with aspd, it's not the hallmark of the disorder, nor is it explicitly required for diagnosis.
in fact, the main Thing about aspd is, uh, right there actually- a pervasive pattern of disregard for the rights of others. in layman's terms, aspd is categorized by a consistent behavior pattern of treating other peoples' boundaries, wants, needs, and human rights, as trivial. this overall behavior pattern is then identified by specific actions or feelings the patient has- hence the criteria.
i could end this post here, honestly- who cares if izaya does or doesn't feel remorse? it's not needed for diagnosis, and it's izaya's whole thing to violate the rights of others- he consistently treats people as his playthings, wether or not they want him to (usually not!) he disregards others' feelings (the suicidal girls come to mind wrt this) and is incredibly reckless with both his life and the lives of others. it's kind of a done deal!
but i won't because i have more to say!
so. izaya. remorse. he feels it, but keeps it hidden. he represses it. and honestly, he always has some justification or another for whatevet it is he's doing. his targets had it coming because they're monsters. or stupid and cowardly. or had it coming. or it doesn't matter because he's a god amongst men. BUT- he does feel remorse! ASPD cured!!!!!!!!!!!!
guys i hate to tell you this, but i've felt remorse before. sparingly, but i have. i am a Person With ASPD from Real Life, i've been diagnosed professionally and even had multiple second opinions check and re-check, to the point that it became a running gag. i, without a shadow of a doubt, have antisocial personality disorder. And I Have Felt Remorse.
(my verdict is it sucks and is terrible and i have no idea how you people do it. yall need like, medals or something)
because, as you might have noticed... a lack of feeling remorse isn't actually the only thing listed. now, a lot of websites don't actually list the second half of the criterion, they just say "lack of remorse" with no elaboration. it's hard to find a website with the proper informatiom on it, especially if you haven't read the dsm to see the full criteria list, so you don't know what you're looking for. truly, i don't blame laypeople for not knowing this- it's not easy to find short of going to the source itself
but if you're writing long posts filled with "facts" about a disorder that you do not have, you better make damn sure your facts are right lest you spread misinformation.
(hell, i HAVE the damn thing and i make sure i'm as accurate as possible, because i acknowledge that Having The Disorder isn't a ticket to immidiate expertise. but imo it's especially egrigious when you don't have it)
but, the criterion itself is defined as "being indifferent to or rationalizing" harmful actions. Or Rationalizing. you can feel remorse as much as you want, but if you stomp it down with justifications about how you were right, it still counts!
and finally, the name of the game with diagnosis of any disorder is consistency. if someone can make their abuser cry because of them and feel no remorse, that's not aspd. that's just a special case. if someone can make anybody cry because of them and feel no remorse, that's aspd.
similarly, if someone can make most people cry because of them and feel no remorse, with one- or maybe two- exceptions, that's... still aspd. because the behavior expressed most consistently is a lack of remorse. one or two exceptions to the rule don't suddenly make you not have aspd, especially if you have multiple other symptoms. (in fact, in some aspd circles people do talk about having "exceptions," kind of like the aspd version of a pwBPD's favorite person. pwaspd feeling remorse or otherwise not meeting criteria in incredibly specific circumstances is in fact a documented phenominon. once again, this happened to me and i've been diagnosed multiple times over. were all those doctors wrong, or does aspd just not work like you thought it did?)
izaya consistently represses most of his more vunerable feelings. that's another one of his main things. if remorse is included in this, which it would be given the pattern, then izaya most consistently does not feel (or otherwise accept) remorse. a few slips of the mask here and there, where he can't stomp it down or ignore it, don't change that the most consistent behavior from him is a lack of remorse. in fact, him feeling remorse here and there makes the portrayal of aspd more realistic, imo-
people with aspd are still people at the end of the day, and aspd is just another mental illness. people are varied, mental illnesses present differently in everyone, and people have good days and bad days where symptoms are more or less pronounced. any symptom isn't going to be set in stone in severity or even presence in someone's life- severity of disorder changes with age, someone's circumstances, or even day-to-day, especially with cluster B disorders, where the people who have it are defined as being "dramatic, emotional, or erratic" (pg 735)
things change. people change. mental illness isn't as simple as people think, and aspd isn't as different from other illnesses as you'd think. people with it- including izaya- will have their good days and their bad days and their rare moments where something breaks through the clouds and for one moment, you feel normal, however distressing the feeling may be
that's not proof that the illness was never there. that's just life with it!

I wanna clear something up real quick
Tw: mention of proship and topics involving it
I don't know much about pro ship if I'm being honest but apparently it doesn't mean 'problematic ship' (I don't believe that)
I have proship dni in my bio and I'm gonna keep it there till you give me an ACTUAL definition for proship
Because every time someone says that it doesn't mean problematic ship the either don't give a proper definition or ship inc3st or p3dophilia ect.
I don't want topics such as Shipping inc3st or ped0philia
Head canons of r4pe
Or any other thing like that
I have boundaries

Imagine The Entity banned survivors having anything better than flashlights/flashbangs/pallets because she realized they'd probably fucking mob the killers during trials. She uses her stupid spidey-bs magic to prevent them from grabbing a fallen hook and just decking someone like Frank or Danny (especially Danny) in the skull with it.
Let's face it- we've all thought about it. The Entity's realm is literally a 1v4, but somehow nobody gets the idea to just pick up one of the various sharp or broken objects lying around and start whacking some psychos?
Nah.
I can easily see Bill or David being the first to try fighting with their fists, but unfortunately The Entity uses said bs-magic to buff the killers so they barely flinch and it only pisses them off.
But then they see the hook falls when a survivor is sacrificed, or the planks shatter into smaller, sharper sticks when a pallet is broken. All hell breaks loose.
Imagine the fucking surprise when someone from The Legion is interrupted mid-Frenzy because they got clotheslined by a fallen hook attached to its rope, stretched across a doorway at neck height. Frank left gasping for air on the ground while Meg mercilessly teabags him.
Imagine Ghostface being chased off from his usual routine of creeping around by David and Jake armed with sharpened sticks from the pallets. He actually gets nailed with one and is equally surprised and offended that he still can bleed.
It becomes such a problem that Tne Entity, an eldritch horror beyond comprehension, has to intervene because her pawns in her weird and sick sacrificial game are acting up in unexpected, unanticipated ways and physically wounding her magically buffed psychopaths.

I feel like Thunder begging Dappled Pelt to heal Leaf could work if it was framed as him being so terrified of being cruel like his father, that even when he nearly kills someone out of self defense it's terrifying to him. Sure, it's self defense now, but what if he has to kill again? Clear Sky said he was just defending his cats, or himself, all the time. Is he no different, even in this moment where it's justified? Of course we're supposed to think Thunder is wrong for fighting in a life or death situation so. :/
I think it 100% could have worked in any other situation. If it was a border patrol that attacked them? It would work excellently and display Thunder's differences to Clear Sky as a character. That he has compassion, even for people who attack him, even for people as horrible as Leaf (known bully).
My gripe with it is that it's literally a life-or-death battle, this crazed, chaotic crowd of screeching, clawing, dying cats, and he has time to HALT and call for a medic, and for that medic to hop on over as if she shouldn't be prioritizing her own friends. Because god forbid Thunder defend himself against a murderer and kill someone in the process
Thunder even has time earlier to cry that Tall Shadow merc'd a guy who was attacking him, and then Shaded Moss moseys out of heaven to be like "uhhhh fuck you in particular, Tall Shadow, for killing someone in defense of your friend during the Murder Party. Who Are You To Judge Whose Life Was More Valuable"
As if she wasn't thrown into a crowd of cats trying to kill her unprovoked because Clear Sky wanted to make Gray Wing "watch his friends die." And then the whoooole narrative pivots to try and imply everyone was at fault for this totally 'unavoidable' battle, even though we just read 3 books of how this was completely Clear Sky's fault and everyone was desperately trying to handle him with kid gloves
There's a couple of good ideas under there, but like... they are really not worth the garbage piled on top

not sure if you are interested but @/cherry1sblog is being really weird about niki and writing smut for him, they said they’d “wait a while” before writing niki smut that’s so weird to me I blocked them but just wanted to tell you 😕
hi nonnie i took a look at their account and have some stuff to say about their standpoints…
at first they got this ask asking if they’d write smut for niki and they said no/they would write something soft for him so I was confused but then I kept reading and honestly it made me kinda side eye because ???
there’s this ask they answered talking about how no one cares about people writing smut for other maknae line members but it’s literally far from the truth? because if you actually were on tumblr when both sunoo and jungwon turned 18 then you’d know there was a LOT of backlash for people who wrote/write smut for them both literally to this day people talk about how insane it was to be on tumblr at that time…so idk what they’re talking about when you say people don’t care about the other members because you’re absolutely wrong
edit: just saw they have a nsfw audio posted for jungwon…very interesting considering what they said above.
this ask also rubbed me wrong because yes it’s all fiction but that doesn’t mean people aren’t still openly sexualizing niki ??? this is a REAL person that you’re reading fanfiction about, no matter how you look at it writing smut for him as soon as he turns 18 is weird because he quite literally just turned “legal” this just tells me people are WAITING for him to turn legal so they can OPENLY sexualize him without consequences. that’s really freaking odd.
finally this is the ask I think the anon is referring to, saying “I’m going to wait a while” is actually so odd because it implies you know it’s bad to write for him immediately and have decided to wait so that you don’t get backlash, and you say “if I were to write about him” but you’re defending it like your life depends on it which makes me think you definitely plan to write smut/suggestive content for him and if you don’t then fine but defending it is very weird. secondly, no one is saying they don’t like a writers work, they’re upset because people are so fucking eager to sexualize a FRESHLY turned 18 year old, if you are sitting and waiting for him to turn legal age that’s predatory as fuck, it’s also wrong because he isn’t even legal he’s still considered a minor in korea where he lives and works by the way.
