thinking about how fucking resilient Jews are.

thinking about my great grandparents in romania, raised in a land colonized by the same empire that sent them to the balkans, still working as tailors and butchers like their ancestors had for generations.

thinking about them stowing away on ships to america so their children could live to see adulthood.

thinking about how many other five foot two bookworms have been in my family. i know i’m not the first, and i certainly hope i won’t be the last.

thinking about how many seders my family has held throughout history, how many “next year in jerusalem”s were shouted. it hasn’t happened yet, but maybe it will.

thinking about the women who passed down kabbalah to their children while witches burned in the next village over. how many mothers kept literal magic alive.

thinking about how every single person that lived before me, every branch of my family tree, had to choose to survive. living has always been in the present progressive for Jews; every breath they took was a choice to fight just a little longer.

i come from people who survived the spanish inquisition, the soviet union, the Shoah, the judeo-roman wars, ottoman imperialism, the rise and fall of so many empires i cannot name them all, and the only uniting factor is them. they taught their toddlers the sh’ma and lit candles and read books and sewed clothes and spun linen and cured meat and davened and smiled and laughed and they did that for two thousand years. ten years ago i became the first bat mitzvah in my family line. the first woman in my family to read from the torah.

i hope they’re proud. i hope i was worth it for them.

#jumblr #big feelings! #jewish joy #i refuse to assimilate for goyische comfort #i am jewish and i will always be jewish and i always have been jewish and my children will be jewish and their children will be jewish #we will not disappear because our existence complicates your worldview #i am not a jew with trembling knees #ngl i cried while writing this #im just so tired of proving my humanity day in and day out #i keep telling myself that we will outlive them #we will outlive their hatred #i will keep my door open like avraham and sarah and i will let them sit at my table when they are ready #i will not let their hatred make me hateful

Something about how Crowley tempted Eve to question and disobey God with an Apple

And then tempted Aziraphale with an Ox right before the first time he also truly questioned and disobeyed the will of God

like, it's just hitting me how significant that is

Crowley's first temptation set God's plan into motion, set humanity down a path intended to be destoryed

but his temptation of an Angel could be it's undoing, humanity's salvation

#like it's literally Aziraphale's love of food that opens the door for all the other earthly pleasures he enjoys #aka his love for and connection with humanity #good omens #ineffable husbands #aziraphale x crowley #crowley #aziraphale #crowley x arizaphale #good omens season 2 #good omens 2 #go 2 #gos2 #neil gaiman

Well gosh darn now I would love to see Connie's Mom's reaction to meeting Steven and hearing his story... Not to mention the fact that living on Homeworld he's never been to the doctors! Would she mother him? Doctor him? BOTH!?

He'd probably be overwhelmed. Lol

YEAHHHH

I plan to get into this more, but rn all I can say is yes. There’s so much I’d like to draw with the Maheswaran family and Steven, I imagine Connie’s parents would be understandably wary about him at first. Partly because he’s a boy Connie was alone with for about two months, and partly because he came from the place she was kidnapped to. But once they learned he was entirely harmless and relatively unaware of almost all human concepts, both Priyanka and Doug would welcome him.

The clown get up was a bit of a surprise though.

#they’d still demand Connie’s door stays open while they hang out in there #steven universe #su au #human steven #connverse #asks #connie maheswaran #priyanka maheswaran #doug maheswaran #Steven’s used to be a little smothered but this is ridiculous lmao

hoo boy. SOMA. I definitely do not think of that game often ahaha that game certainly has not affected me in any way

Anyways!! Catherine Chun is honestly my favorite deuteragonist in gaming because of how well she's written (sorry Wheatley (he's a close second though)). On my first playthrough I (and I assume a lot of other people) just immediately decide "OK, she's the only other sane 'person' on this station, so she's automatically a friend", and hell, it seems that's how Simon himself views her from the moment they first speak at Upsilon's comms center. But reading into her dialogue, she really doesn't seem to view Simon as a buddy at all up until like.. Their heart-to-heart at the Climber methinks. Just look at how she speaks with him whenever he starts getting existential.

She speaks to him as more of an annoying coworker at times. Considering her attitude towards other sentient machines, I think it's extending even to Simon. She sees him as a means to an end, or at least tries to, up until she has to copy and paste his mind into a new diving suit. And then, when she fails to hide the original Simon from the newly created duplicate and he is rightfully distraught and furious - I think that's when the actual weight of it all hits her.

This interaction still fucks me up a little. The distress in that "Please, stop" as Simon (very righftully) lashes out at her. It's even worse when you consider this is how most of the people she scanned treated her. They're all desperate. They hope that when they sit down in that Pilot Seat and close their eyes, they'll open them in paradise. But when they end up exactly where they were. and realize a copy of them is going to be living it large on a spaceship while they continue rotting down at Pathos II, it's no wonder they'd suddenly view the whole thing as cruel and disgusting. It's still wrong and selfish, of course - especially directing that anger at the one person responsible for preserving humanity simply because you refuse to understand how brain scans work. It's worse when you realize she never got to defend herself from all of it, and in the end she was killed by her own desperate coworkers. And now she's experiencing it again. Unknowingly, Simon's putting her through the exact same thing her human template went through over and over and over again. She viewed him as a means to an end, but I think that stopped after she had to go through that. She shares her memories of home with Simon. I'd say they only REALLY start getting along at like, Phi, which makes the exchange immediately after the ARK is launched that much more gut wrenching. The thing is, while I think Catherine stopped viewing Simon as a means to an end, Simon didn't stop viewing her as one. From the moment she tells him about the ARK, he was probably itching to get on it. Sure, saving humanity is great, but you'd probably also want to be saved aswell, no?

The fact that this is her last exchange and these are the last words she manages to say is absolutely fucked up. You can just imagine what was going through Catherine's mind as she was saying this - Simon telling her she's "Fucking disgusting!", a sentiment echoed by people she considered acquaintances (people she was saving), seeing her own corpse with it's head bashed in by a wrench.. This wasn't just aimed at Simon, I think. This is basically her finally standing up for herself. Her standing up to everyone who despised her simply because THEY didn't understand how brain scans work. She did everything right, she saved humanity - and she was still treated like garbage in the end. And she doesn't even get to finish her sentence before her chip fries and she dies for the second and final time. And if Simon saw things from her perspective for once, he would have the time to pull her Omnitool out and save her from that.

#soma #simon jarrett #catherine chun #soma game #rambling #frictional games #their interactions are so well written i can't stop thinking about them #they're written so.. idk #human? which is ironic considering one is a sentient diving suit and the other is stuck in a door opener #honestly haven't found a game with character interactions just as engaging as the ones these two had

The Doctor needs one of those classes they give to expecting/hopeful parents but for humans. Get their ass enrolled in a parenting course. And everytime they get a new companion he has to retake the course.

#doctor who #dw #the doctor #inspired by the deleted scene of her just pushing amy out of the tardis doors into space #while amy was having an anxiety attack. YOU CANNOT DO THAT! #they have access to all of time and space the doctor has to be able to find a human parenting/caretaker course #bonus points if he ends up taking one for human children. #imgine youre travelling with the doctor and he leaves and comes back one day and says they enrolled themself in a human management course #and youre like 'oh thank god finally' #and then she just starts bubble wrapping the entire tardis and locking off entire rooms and giving you coloring sheets and stim toys #when you get bored #and starts taking you to like. fucking parks to play with other humans. #and starts carrying like fucking snacks like lunchables and shit everywhere and giving them to you at regular intervals #and you're like 'hey what the fuck.' #and you ask them what the hell they're doing and you find out they were learning to care for human TODDLERS. #and you're like. jesus fucking christ. explains so much. mildly disconcerting how much stayed the same though. #and so obviously you ask 'do you see me as a child?' and the doctor is like. ah. interesting question. #you know what else is interesting. OOOOOOO TELETUBBIES LETS LOOK AT THE TELETUBBIES OOOOOO EDUCATIONAL GAMES OOOO!!!! #LOOK AT THE SMALL HUMAN ON THE SCREEN WHICH PAIR OF SHOES MATCHES THE DRESS??? CHOOSE FAST!!!!!! #this could also open the door for an amazing bit though #where you start doing all of the same things back to the doctor and it works even better on them than it did you. #turn their ass into an ipad kid. they start arguing too much put his ass on minecraft pocket edition. #she just sits there for 1-3 hours. dead silence. you walk over like. 'hey. um. you good.' #no answer. you look ove rher shoulder. she has recreated ancient rome in minecraft in exact replica and is the reigning emperor. #they are roleplaying the roman senate with sheep and villagers. okay. can you please save the world now. please. #this is not to infantilize the doctor. he is old as shit. they are an adult. but by god can they be easily entertained. #not to mention that a key factor of the doctor IS their eternal childishness. #but they ARE a fully grown adult. beyond that even. ancient 'were you alive to see the dinosaurs grandpa?' ass motherfucker. #they are just also a masive loser. who would love minecraft pocket edition and lunchables. probably. who doesn't though. #bangers

sometimes the doctor and rose's story is so good that i think i've gaslit myself into thinking certain things are true. like i go on forever about how ten was born out of love for rose and wants to be human with her and in a way gets to be and then i have random moments where i'm like "am i making this up?" and then i remember song for ten and love don't roam are literally about that and i'm like oh my godddd the actual song that is for him is about rose.

#rambles #like i he does all this 'being stuck on earth is boring and blah blah humans ew' stuff with martha and donna #because he has already (seemingly forever) lost rose #so he cannot open that door #he never opened it fully but he was peeking in s2 #s3&4 he cannot even think of the door #so he has to be a meanie about it

Ok I posted a similar post a while ago but I think there's more people here now so I wanna ask again:

What are your headcanons regarding the ethnicity of Eli?

Obviously it's space so there's not really a wrong answer here. I'm curious! Add your hcs on this post! Honestly add your hcs for Thrawn too! I'll put mine under the cut here

So personally I hc Eli as Indian because I'm projecting and also because there's like almost no Indian rep in star wars. Plus come on he was expected to carry on the family business but then moved away that's classic second gen Indian problems /lh. He's touchy about falling into the Indian + math stereotype probably. He's at least bilingual. He considers himself southern American bc that's where he grew up but is slightly insecure because he was othered in the south as well due to being an immigrant.

As for human!Thrawn I hc as Asian as well, maybe Japanese? Thrawn falls so so much into the whole model minority trope that a lot of Asian Americans have to deal with. He's seen as "one of the good ones," as almost human because of his usefulness. He's expected to also look down on other alien species. His skill and intelligence are chalked up to his alien background. He's exotified almost. He's either an inhuman genius or a savage. Every eccentricity is a result of his alienness, not his personality.

Anyways gimme asian!thrawn this has been my Ted talk

Okay, so you guys know that 'exit' the group was aiming for when they left the chasm bedrock?

When Zhongli reached out to save Xiao, that spot flared in the shape of geo and then moved.

Zhongli's power didn't just come through the light, the light itself moved as Zhongli reached out to save Xiao. Meaning the spot of light had not been an exit all along. It had always been Zhongli's power, reaching through the darkness for his last yaksha as the group clawed their way towards the surface.

#zhongli #xiao #perilous trail #genshin impact #MAN MY FEELS #HE WAS JUST STANDING THERE HOLDING THE DOOR OPEN #who knows how long he's waited there #probably has no idea if we were even alive #i talked about his before but the fact that Zhongli saved Xiao right after Xiao sent the others to the surface likely meant that #Zhongli didn't know where we were exactly until that moment #which meant by sending the humans up #Xiao left a trail Zhongli can follow #which inadvertently saved his own life #MY HEARTTT #fridge brilliance #for sure #genshin impact spoilers #spoilers #spoiler

No one should care but ive been thinking about it and my take is that the root of the walrus/fairy question is one specific word used by the original poll: "surprised". The question is not which would change your worldview or which is more/less possible to really happen. The question is which *surprises* you more. To me, this means which causes a stronger immediate surprise reaction in you upon opening that door. In essence, how bad do you flinch?

This, to me, is why so many people (including myself!) choose Walrus. A walrus is an immediate situation! That's an animal larger and stronger than you are, one that I would say is potentially very dangerous, that many people have never seen in real life. And now it's your responsibility and on your doorstep! A walrus on a doorstep is a novel idea, at least to me. I don't think I've ever had an animal just appear at my door, and certainly never knock. Sure, after the gut reaction dies down, the mundanity of the situation is certain; a walrus is a real animal and the perpetrator is likely nearby, laughing at the world's weirdest ding-dong ditch prank. But for a few seconds, it's just you, your expectations upon opening a door, and a pinniped of unusual size.

Now let's examine the fairy; The term can be vague, but I think most people imagine a generally humanoid but very small creature with insect wings. First off, by being small, the fairy will likely not trigger a defensive response, unlike the walrus. This thing is not an immediate threat, at least to your subconcious. Also, by being humanoid, usually with a very human face and features, this changes the situation from "strange beast on my doorstep" to "strange person on my doorstep". Obviously this may be different from person to person, but I think "strange small person on my doorstep" would illicite much weaker response from my flight or fight reflex than a large, strange animal. This is nothing to say about the familiarity most people have with fantasy and fantasy ideas, and the lack of familiarity most people have with walrus' in general, but I think those are also factors.

#also? by seeing a fairy you have certainly NOT proved anything about the universe and how it works #this could be a weird puppet. an illusion or projection of some sort. a weird bug that you mistook for a fairy. #even if the fairy holds up to scrutiny it could be a here to unknown form of fully mundane life #like an alien or some weird human mimicking insect or some other thing you (and science) just simply arent aware of yet #a small person with insect like wings dies not inherently mean magic exists! #now if the fairy starts casting spells sure #but has the fairy who politely knocked on your door and is waiting for you to open it actually done anything supernatural? #anyways. i actually really enjoy this question and think the discussion around it is enjoyable and the question itself was perfectly framed #like for example if you used 'bear' instead of walrus? MANY people are suddenly able to rationalize seeing one. dangerous or not. #and fairy is like. kindve perfect for 'hard to excuse mundanely' because it is both very human like but also very small #BUT it is not MADE OF MAGIC like a ghost or elemental or something #it strikes a fine line between 'magic is inherently real now' and 'this is just a horse with a cone taped on its head' #both of which would be situations that i think ruin the conditions of the question

Lord Morpheus' Curls: A short film

Happy holiday, friends! Have you had the opportunity to appreciate Tom Sturridge with curls yet?

From Effie Gray (2014).

#Tom Tuesday #tom sturridge #effie gray #Ok but imagine it's the 1800s and HOB walks out for some reason and it's Dream that runs after him knowing that #Death was right — he should've LISTENED. But he never heard those little clues Hob dropped about how much it hurt to be left every century #after five minutes and how Hob kept enduring this mortifying ordeal of being known because he knew Dream needed to be known too and #Hob hoped that one day after he'd flayed himself & his life again and again and again for Dream's interest that one day Dream would #open up just the tiniest bit & calling him lonely was just trying to wriggle open that door just a crack but Dream would never allow it #the pretty aloof lord as cold as ever and Hob just... left. After five minutes. Meeting done. Bye. Guess you don't need me. And #Dream feels the pain of watching him walk away and knows that Hob was right — and he runs after his human... #Dreamling #I mean this turned into a dreamling thing sorry #Effie Gray was good though #Pretty film #frustrating 1800s stuff
