[bleakbluejay]

you motherfuckers have no concept of what "land back" or "decolonize" even mean. you're too busy demonizing entire groups of people, terrified, shitting yourselves, that they'll do even half of the horrors to you that you've done to them for decades or centuries. this shit comes off as hella racist for real. you hate arabs so much. you hate first nations people so much. you hate black people so much. even if you sympathize with them, you can't fucking bear the idea of them gaining freedom, independence, autonomy, safety, because you're so, so scared they'll hurt you back and cause chaos in the streets. these same people who just want to rebuild. who just want to go home. who just want to see their families again. who just want food. who just want medical care. who just want dry, warm shelter. you're so focused on the ideas of colonization, of "us vs. them", of one people displacing the other for a state to exist, that you cannot comprehend coexistence, and your only idea of peace is if an entire group of people were just gone and dead.

grow the fuck up. for the love of GOD, grow the fuck up.

#eli talks #rant #i just watched a video shared by someone i'd been following a while denying the genocide occuring in gaza entirely #are you kidding. are you fucking kidding me. #the video was trying to run with the idea that “from the river to the sea” means jewish people will be expelled from the region #no the fuck it does not you stupid motherfucker that's NOT what decolonization is #anyway. land back. decolonize. from the river to the sea. peace and love on planet earth. #stop razing olive trees. stop scorching the earth. stop bombing hospitals and schools. stop destroying the sea. #if i have to see another palestinian child undergo anesthesia-free amputation im going to start being physically fucking violent #if i have to see another mother with blood on her hands wailing and begging for her child to come back im going to start burning shit #one day all the people of palestine will be free. muslims and jews and christians and all and none. #one day all the people of sudan will be free. all the people in the congo will be free. all the peoples in the americas will be free. #and all the other occupied places suffering genocides and ethnic cleansings that the news neglects to mention. theyll be free too.

i wish that there was more time between the day of black sun and sozin's comet bc zuko's official desertion from the fire nation would have the most insane ripple effects (and it would be nice to see the gaang interacting a bit more than we got but hey i'll take what i can get)

zuko's desertion would have been essentially impossible for the fire nation to bury since it was such a big deal that he returned at all. so i imagine the smear campaign against zuko would have been craaazy. i think it would have been interesting for the gaang to try and deal with that when navigating the FN. zuko would be very recognisable i think at this point, and it would have made staying hidden much harder. would they still have chosen ember island? maybe the kids didn't recognise zuko and azula during The Beach , but with the prince of the fire nation committing treason would there be more wanted posters? would there be more talk around the island? would zuko have to remain hidden while the rest go out and get food?

i wonder if zuko deserting and very meaningly committing his loyalty to the avatar influenced other soldiers in the FN to also desert? or would it have had the opposite effect and made people feel more patriotic since zuko was banished, returned under the guise of having killed the avatar, and then left when aang announced his survival to world during the failed invasion?

SPEAKING OF THAT!! the rumours around this would be INSANE. we know what really happened, but the public don't. did zuko and the avatar plan this so that there would be an inside man during the invasion and then zuko used that chaos to escape? what really happened in ba sing se if zuko didn't kill aang, but azula thought that he did? (again: we, the audience know the truth, but the general public don't). if zuko and the avatar where working together... for how long? was iroh involved somehow since he also disappeared the same time that zuko did? did iroh get captured on purpose to be close to zuko to possibly help him if needed? did zuko break iroh out of jail or did one of the guards or was iroh alone? you could spiral on this as just an average person in the avatar world for years like. if youtube existed in atla imagine the video essays breaking down all the conspiracies

its a kids show so obviously Nothing Bad Happened BUT in the Boiling Rock, zuko getting found out as not only an imposter (already, a very bad situation), a traitor (extremely bad), AND the traitorous (ex) prince of the fire nation (devastatingly terrible) would have been... incredibly dangerous for zuko. in zuko and iroh's original wanted poster, the official translation says “Permission is granted to kill them on sight” and this was before zuko has gone right ahead and committed Treason On Purpose. the warden is not going to be nice. when the warden visits zuko in his cell he literally tells him "If these criminals found out who you are, the traitor prince who let his nation down, why they'd tear you to shreds." the boiling rock would be hell trying to survive. it also puts a lot more weight on zuko refusing to leave sokka in their first escape attempt. also ozai obviously knew that he has his son was in prison bc he... broke in to the prison bc azula was there but then zuko manages to escape with sokka (another imposter) and suki and hakoda (POWs) and chit sang (a prisoner) and two of azula's trusted friends end up in prison for treason as well i just. that is literally insane for the average person to hear about. again, THE CONSPIRACIES!!

when zuko eventually does take the throne there's a lot of conjecture around what zuko did while he was banished and moreso, what he did the second time he left, this time voluntarily. i think zuko's loyalty would be questioned a lot; by other world leaders who are understandably wary about the fire nation and its motivations, but also by its own people - some who believe that zuko is a traitor to his country and is trying to sabotage it since he helped end the war.

idk these are all just me rambling but it would been so interesting to explore the implications of zuko leaving the fire nation and how that would have impacted the gaang and how they interacted with others in their travels. there are so many fic where zuko joins the gaang early, but neither myself with the aus that I have written, nor many that ive read have explored this very much or at all.

#this is basically a thought stream #zuko #sokka #aang #katara #toph #the gaang #book 3 #i think that like.... zuko leaving would have been crazy. it should be the talk of the town! #the gossip mill would have been on OVERDRIVE #it also makes it so hard bc no one knows what the truth actually is #one day in court as fire lord one of the foreign dignitaries is like ummm fire lord is it true that you systematically #robbed upper class earth kingdom citizens to help fund local militia groups to take back land occupied by the fire nation #and like zuko is just sitting there like WHAT #zuko: yes i did rob people. #the foreign dignitary: 👁️👄👁️ #avatar the last airbender #atla #the boiling rock #the day of black sun #the firebending masters

so fobcore to be up for two awards they deserve to win, lose both of them, not even show up to the awards show But dress up in silly outfits for their prerecorded performance. would expect nothing less from the band of all time tbh

#can i go on a more serious ramble in the tags #lets go for a more serious ramble in the tags #fob exist in such a weird space in the scene and pop culture like they are literally one of the most popular bands on earth #yet are constantly snubbed and not considered and not included and are always the underdogs in everything #they have influenced pop culture so much and yet are never recognized for it #and i think it’s a space theyre very comfortable being in like. they are loved and recognized by people who truly get them and mostly #ignored by those who dont and those who dont are. the majority of the music scene #but idk it’s just so interesting to me how they can be so popular and beloved and influential yet such underdogs all at once #and that is who they always have been and who they always will be but idk. sometimes i wish they got recognized a lot more #bc they deserve it. they might be happy occupying the space they do but. give them some fucking awards please JFKDNF #txt #p: 100

unrelated to the last post it's just really so crazy to me that i qualify for irish citizenship i just have to register myself with the gov and they are required to give it to me because my mom has been a citizen since her birth via my grandfather. like i'm not irish canadian with distant ancestors i'm literally actually irish (or will be). it's so cool im still trying to process that

#once things calm down for me in sept im gonna get the ball rolling on this #im also entitled to uk citizenship via occupied northern ireland but why on earth would i want that lmfao #im indian malaysian and irish like hello. #given the privilege of having the option btween the two im picking the irish republic every time

catching up on slmccl's qsmp shit is so fun bc like. you can tell that he actually enjoys this server.

#stfulee.txt #slimecicle #probably not the best idea to talk in tags but #its v refreshing to see him actually enjoy being in a server even if he's still not the most active #afaik he's been in 5 servers and he's only been ACTIVE active in 2 of them #**6 servers i am dumb. anw. #< 2 being smpl and qsmp #d smp he rlly only came on to fuck around a couple times and then after that he only came on to do lore for q #epicsmp immediately died off bc (as fun as it was for a bit) it was obv just a ploy to try and capitalize off the minecraft hype of d smp #theres technically smp earth but tbh it occupies the same space in my brain that smpl does. #and osmp was already kinda inactive as is so like. didnt expect much from that. #maybe this is parasocial idk

what do your parents look like?

day 95

wellll my moms a demon and my dads an angel so liek their true forms are incomprehensible 2 mere mortalz??

but obvs if they stayed in heaven & hell all the time they nevar wouldve met and had ME so liek they have human forms that they use when theyre in the Mortal Realm

theyre p cool i guess idk theyre just my parents lololol

#day 95 #year 4 #my ocs #destiny chainsaw #well sort of shes not really IN either of these #anyway. i wanted them to look like very fucking stereotypical uninteresting sitcom parents with just like #the smallest hint that they were maybe also little alt fashion punks back in their 'teen years' #by which i mean like. when these specific physical manifestations of them were teens?? #ill be honest. haven't really thought about her parents much aside from like #'hey it would be funny if in addition to being these powerful metaphysical entities they were also just like #the most mundane and domestic motherfuckers on earth' #like there is no drama whatsoever with them. they are AMICABLY divorced. they love and support their daughter. #she thinks they are a little bit old and out of touch sometimes but loves them very much #ALSO she calls them mom and dad because like. that is what they deemed the most sensible and human thing for her to call them #based on the human forms they had taken at the time and the society in which they lived #but i mean. they're shapeshifting extradimensional Creatures. they don't actually have genders. #they're kind of just doing drag as humans 24/7 because it is useful and fun for them to play act at it #this also informs destiny's relationship with her own gender and the physical form she occupies most of the time. more on this later maybe.

why are so many stories nowadays about the end of things. the fall of civilizations. the end of eras. the sad slow death of the past into a grimmer future. this sense of living in the End Times has permeated sooo many genres for a literal Century and it just makes me sad that the change is. always towards the world getting smaller and darker and less magical

#I guess that reflects a lot of society fears etc #but like just off the top of my head in three seconds: #lord of the rings. pirates of the Caribbean. assassins creed valhalla. red dead redemption. Star Wars #that’s across like six different genres right there #and like yeah there’s obv Some hopeful endings to all of those #but the world they occupy is always about an age Coming To An End and the next one is going to be. Worse than the next #I actually have a lot to say about how wwii is the huge pivot point in literature #and in world society #where people stopped believing things are going to Get Better #and how that idea is reflected ALLL OVER in media from 1946 onwards #basically humanity saw just how terrible we can be and it was sooo much worse than the average person had ever dreamed #and since then. the general consensus has switched from bright new future to. racing against the clock before our time on earth is up #it’s actually a really interesting pivot because it’s SOOO widespread in famous media #anyway. just some thoughts #what if…. a story about the Beginning of a world and the insane hardships involved in THAT #it’s always an old guard story I wanna see. what a new guard looks like

jake has Known Hermit Tendencies and so he SEEMS like he'd be the type to be terminally offline out in a cabin in the woods not even looking at the news but hes also instigated flames wars for fun(??) in canon so i feel like he wildly seesaws between the two extremes. absolutely does not have a healthy relationship with social media. he will log on, slowly get more and more engrossed in some dumb bullshit, eventually he'll get way too invested in and involved in drama and you have to take his phone away from him. and he will completely forget/stop caring in a matter of days when he'll get swept up next thing that takes his fancy/seems entertaining to him. next thing you know he's moved to another continent or has dedicated himself to learning ice sculpture

#in the event of him being a celebrity on earth c this situation becomes ten million times worse but also funnier #the funniest way to interpret grandpa harley is as a genuine polymath with 0 attention span #anyway jake will go do something else but also he wont move on he will just occupy himself with something more immediately gratifying #he will never forget the username of that one bastard who disagreed with him about dc comics continuity #50/50 chance it was dirk using a sockpuppet account depending on how funny that scenario ends up being #either way he will Never stick around to deal with the consequences of his actions

takes a 5 minute break in the middle of writing a scene to sob over Swan Upon Leda by Hozier

#that’s it that’s the post #Seven.txt #writing stuff #hozier #music stuff #cw assault #assault mention #i am. working on something. and realized that the song could fit well into a scene for extra ✨symbolism✨ #so of course i had to go listen to it and add it to the appropriate playlists #thing is i absolutely cannot listen to that song without breaking down in tears so. had a cathartic little cry #mid-writing session. as one does. #i’m sorry but if you expect me to be calm and normal when Hozier is out there being THE Man Ever. it’s not gonna happen #like not to be extreme but i don’t know if there’s another man on earth that i’d feel safer and more respected around #fighting for my life not to put him on a pedestal bc i Know he’s just some guy. he’s just a human like everyone else #but how can i be normal about it when he says women’s bodies have never belonged to angels #so they sure as shit have never belonged to men. #obviously he uses prettier words but. my point stands #comparing men assaulting women to an occupier upon ancient land??? *cries so hard i throw up* #Swan Upon Leda earned the honor of going on the very short list of songs that are too painful for me to listen to as Soon as i heard it #like yeah no i’ll never be able to casually listen to it but that is a Compliment. that means that it means Everything to me #okay anyways. *wipes tears* that’s all i just had to get that out of my system #crawling back into my writing cave now. i shall rejoin the world once this wip is Finished #*whispers* in related news.

You can’t judge the actions of the little nightmares children based on real world standards.

Six is the best example here. In our world, Six strangling and killing a Bully with her bare hands is a bit concerning. In their world however, that’s just par for the course in this situation. Six needed to take down a monster but had no weapons, so she used her bare hands instead. Plus pinning it to the ground and preventing the Bully from moving is a lot safer than giving it a chance to fight back.

In our world, Six warming her hands on the fire as the Doctor burns in front of her is very concerning and some people would even go so far as to call it evil, but in the world Six lives in, that’s a perfectly normal and smart decision. The Pale City is constantly rainy and cold and warming your hands on a fire that’s already burning in front of you is much easier and safer than trying to make a fire of your own somewhere else. Plus she and Mono just killed an adult. That’s a big victory in their world that’s worth some celebratory hand warming.

The world that the children of Little Nightmares live in isn’t even remotely close to ours in terms of society and what is right and wrong. In their world, it’s very much either kill or be killed when it comes to adults. If an adult doesn’t immediately kill you, it has something else in store for you that’s probably worse. So either you need to be willing to commit morally dubious (by our standards) acts and be willing to kill a monster if the chance and need arises or you aren’t going to survive in this world because if you hesitate, the adults definitely won’t.

If you have a chance to safely warm yourself by a fire, you take that chance because you may never have that chance again. If you have a chance to kill one of the monsters that infest this world, you take it because it won’t just make your chances of survival higher, it’ll make the entire area just a little bit safer for the rest of the children that pass through there.

#little nightmares #not a theory or a headcanon #this is just fact #A pet peeve of mine is people trying to judge the little nightmares children by our standards #especially Six #they’re children trying to survive in a world that wants to kill them #and this world is all they’ve ever known #in a world like that our standards and morals fall completely flat #because our standards are based on a world where adults care for children and it’s not a constant fight to survive until the next day #in the little nightmares world they aren’t living #they’re surviving #and they’ll all do whatever it takes to survive #meals are very infrequent #so is clean water #heat is a rarity #and a safe spot to rest is a laughable concept #not to mention the monsters that occupy the world #most of which are five times your size #in a world like that you need to abandon earth morality and adopt a new set of morals that will actually let you survive

Btw if you ever recommended me something it's still on a list, and if you ever recommended me something and I started it I probably didn't drop it unless I told you so I just suck at starting things then taking forever to come back to them even if I'm interested

#one of my goals this year is to finish what i started last year with recommendations or at least give it far enough that if it isnt vibing #with me to formally decide so lol #ty everyone who has ever recommended things to me btw i do have really long back logs so i do appreciate it #which sounds strange maybe but something has to always keep my occupied on this green earth when it comes to reading especially so it #is a good thing 😌 #-pers
