#regarding this matter

[aleejian]

I need to educate myself more onto this matter. However, seeing the genocide, seeing all the photos/videos of martyrs, seeing grief and intense emotions of the victims, seeing babies get separated from their mother or had to be abandoned, seeing the suffering of Palestinians really touch another side of me that will be the same if i were in their position.

Right now, being able to sit inside the comfort of my own room without having to worry of being burried below all the rubbles. From a soul to another and a reminder to myself as well, what are you capable of doing at the moment?

Do not stop talking about Palestine,

There are ongoing genocides in other countries as well. Read. Read. Read. For the sake of understanding. This is a reminder for myself. If you are poked, let's row the boat.

From a soul to another,

From the river to the sea,

Palestine will be free.

Like Jason is angry and lashing out and begging his father to prove he loves him with bloody hands

And Bruce’s love isn’t violent

So Jason thinks his dad didn’t care Doesn’t care

And this is when (if dc were good writers) Bruce would be gentle with him. Would hold his face and thank whoever he needs to that his son is back. To gently wash the blood from his son’s hands and beg him not to dirty them again, only to clean them over and over again no matter what. For Bruce to use his fucking words like a big boy and tell Jason that no matter what, no matter how many the redhood kills, that he will always love Jason

And Jason, who doesn’t want to be loved violently, who loves just as soft as Bruce does. Would be validated, maybe not in the way he thought he needed to be but still ultimately validated

#like in my head Jason doesn’t necessarily want Bruce to off the joker-he wants him to tell him he loves him. and Bruce needs to do that #I think there’s a lot of focus on the joker in regards to Jason but I don’t think he really matters at all #batfamily #batman #batfam #bruce wayne #jason todd

pov you're looking for the love of your life and hear rumors that he is terrorizing the Caribbean while sporting a new flag with a bleeding heart

#Since there's no way i'll ever finish this #have it now before I ignore and never look at it again #and before it stops making any resemblance of sense in the context of season 2 #like honestly there no way there aren't rumors about Blackbeard suddenly having a make-over #and flying a new flag that literally means 'I leave no survivors no matter how many white flags you wave' #not sure if Stede and his depressing amount of self esteem regarding the world of love could put these points together #but still #our flag means death season 2 spoiler #ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd season 2 #stede bonnet #gentlebeard #blackbonnet #blackbeard #stede x ed #my art

[autistic-daniil-dankovsky]

remember this? well. let's go!

both ena and an have pretty famous fathers, and it was always somewhat expected of them to be worthy of their legacy, in some way. both of them were told, "of course you're good at art - you're shinei's daughter!" and "of course you're good at singing - you're ken's daughter!" respectively.

they were always perceived via their fathers, not allowed to step outside their shadow and be seen for themselves. they couldn't be ena or an.

and, you know, for a time, they went along with it. i mean, they were good at what they were doing.

but then... all comes crashing down.

for ena, there's the obvious bullshit that's going on with shinei. completely destroying her. because she admired her father, because he was the reason she wanted to do art to begin with, and he told her to her face that she would never be good enough.

her entire world fell apart, that day.

because no matter what she says, ena wants the approval of her father more than anything else. she wants him to tell her that she's worthy of being his daughter, that all her hard work amounts to something; anything.

but then, there's the eventual revelation that she wasn't anything, actually. she wasn't special.

everyone was better than her.

before, ena was a fish in a small pond, and of course, she was among the best. but now she's been dropped in a vast ocean, and she's small, and insignificant.

devoured by all the other fish.

one of them - and admittedly, the most important of them all - being futaba. she joined after ena, but she proved herself in much less time than her. and, even succeeded where ena failed - she never gave up, even when she was harshly criticised. never regressing artistically. never running away from art.

and there's something else, somewhere deep down - a fear. a fear that nightcord will abandon her when they realise she can't keep up with them. that she's not as good as they thought she was.

what will happen of her, then? she'll be all alone. unloved.

an goes through something similar.

she meets kohane, and she decides that this person is going to be her partner. that they're going to surpass THE rad weekend together, that no one could be better for this task but her.

but when she starts that relationship, it's with the assumption that she'll always be the teacher and that kohane will always be the student.

not in a mean, or pretentious way, no, not at all. simply, an was always told there was no way she couldn't surpass rad weekend, since she was ken's daughter. in her small pond, she was also among the very best.

but then, an realises something, too.

kohane is much better at everything than she is.

very similarly to ena's situation with futaba, kohane made much more progress in barely a year than an has in years. taiga - one of the old RADers, and somewhat of an uncle for an - recognised her potential, and asked to train her. not an, but kohane.

and of course, an is happy to know that! because that's her partner and friend, and an is happy to see her grow more confident and get better every day. because she cares. because she loves her.

but there's something in her chest - something that hurts and aches. she has to face the fact that she's not as good as she thought she was, that she isn't worthy of her father's legacy. that she isn't worthy of being kohane's partner, that she might be holding her back.

that she might be abandoned. left behind to rot.

what will happen of her, then? she'll be all alone. unloved.

to me - ena and an are two kids suffering under the weight of a legacy that's too heavy for them to carry, but that they can't let go of. they're also struggling with seeing their peers succeed where they repeatedly fail. they're all about being terrified of being abandoned because they're not good enough.

they're both confronted by this fact.

and it terrorises them.

#yes here's my word vomit over this #does it make sense? i think so #part of it might be uh a little projection teehee. but still #no matter how you put it. shinei and ken are extremely important to ena and an's characters #the kohane and futaba parallels in regards to an and ena's whole thing. do you see them #two important characters to them that prove themselves to be much more talented than them #confronting them to their worst fears (though involuntary) #an shiraishi #ena shinonome #shiraishi an #shinonome ena #kohane azusawa #azusawa kohane #futaba natsuno #natsuno futaba #project sekai #proseka #<- all i'm willing to deal with dhajdh #brought to you byyyyy #🎧 an #who hopes this was good 👍 #also be nice to me i suck at writing bye bye!! #i'm sorry that tumblr user autistic daniil dankovsky is bringing you this. /silly

Nine is obviously a tragic character but he's also self-centered. He leaves the resistance to die so he can have his perfect world, and despite his anger towards Sonic for not considering his wants, Nine also assumes they both want the same thing and lashes out when this doesn't turn out to be the case.

He's so fixated on his own pain that he ignores that of others. Nine doesn't care if other worlds die as long as he gets the happy childhood that was robbed from him. He is the epitome of "I suffered so why shouldn't they?"

#I sympathize with Nine and understand what he does from his perspective #the issue is that he only cares about his perspective. He thinks he got the short end of the stick so what he wants matters more #even if everyone in New Yoke was also miserable he doesn't care about others #he's like Sonic in that regard: short-sighted and unable to listen to others #sonic prime #nine the fox

"batman is first and foremost about rehabilitation and the possibility of redemption for everyone-" is he. is he really, though. when he clearly believes "criminal" is some personality trait divorced from circumstances and goes around calling goons "scum" and acts as if killing once, even under extreme circumstances that are not at all their fault, taints someone forever?

#see: when he finds out cass was made to kill once as a child #he's witnessed cass's current reverence for life and yet he has a fucking meltdown about it because ''she *was* perfect'' #and that's just one example. #like canon is extensive. there are examples for anything and what you cherry pick to read will influence what you believe #the truth of the matter is that the bulk of what *i* have read shows me this lol #like even in comics where he touts this line some of it (his classism and utter disdain regarding criminals for one) still shows #(often in reflection of a writer's values for sure) #and i can reconcile it as... change is something he WANTS to believe is possible. he TRIES to believe it. but he doesn't. #but i can't agree this is his core #there's also the fact that even if it was he'd often display unbelievable carelessness towards rogue's victims due to it #but that's a whole other topic #and this is all something he teaches to those under his tutelage btw. this is something all bats follow to some extent #talking to the void #my thoughts #dc #dc thoughts #dc comics #bruce wayne #i might be opening a can of worms with this one but i needed it off my chest lol

[transmutationisms]

i think the reason this site loves to fawn over emily wilson and anne carson is ultimately because people would rather buy into the fantasy of 'diversifying' the classics via the entry of white women scholars than actually look beyond the bounds of what has been deemed 'canonical' or otherwise challenge that designation

#yes i have read wilson and carson this isn't a hater post in regards to them but the mode of engagement with their work and subject matter 👍

i hope qcellbit fails horribly in his goal to push everyone away from him. i hope they refuse to let him win i hope they make sure he knows that he's just hurting them and it wont stop unless he does because theyre not gonna leave. sorry i just hope this cubito heals so bad i need it more than anything

#mcyt #qsmp #q!cellbit #sorry if i think about his relapse for too long i get like this indefinitely. it makes me so sad #it makes me sad in regards to qpac. do you think he feels like he failed to keep his promise that the monster was gone? #it makes me sad in regards to qbagi. she knew a version of him he never even got to know. #it makes me sad in regards to the eggs. theyll just see their dad no matter what he does #it makes me sad in regards to qroier. he loves him so much and thinks the only way for him to be happy is for him to leave him behind.... #sorry im. insane about my cubito again. #each day without qcellbit healing arc i will get Worse

what's also kind of fascinating to me about the way the found family trope has gotten kind of militarized over the past several years, is the apparent idea that consenting adults can only have one type of dynamic with each other...and that one dynamic is the main indicator of what their relationship is.

like. that's just kind of wild to me. I know some of it is tied up in purity culture and the weird pearl clutching about what does or does not constitute a "problematic" dynamic, (read: people who think ANY age gap is pedophilia, or people who think that headcanoning people as found family means shipping them is incest. we'll set aside the people who think "problematic content" shouldn't be written at all for now, that's gotta be it's own post.), but it really feels like some of the reality of human relationships gets lost in these kinds of debates.

a decent example is like. when people treat friendship like a stepping stone to romantic love. as if one is supposed to naturally supersede the other over time. as if falling in love with your best friend automatically means losing that friendship, somehow. we're MEANT to have multiple, overlapping dynamics and relationships with people. you can bicker like siblings with your best friend who also happens to be your fiance. you can take leadership and guidance from someone in one aspect of your life who is fully on the same level of authority as you in another. these things aren't mutually exclusive, they don't cancel each other out.

I think mostly what I'm getting at here is that you can headcanon people as found family without flattening the type and depth of relationships they can have within and around that framework. "family" isn't a flat, pastoral, platonic ideal of a relationship. Pretending that it is, or pretending that any one person's personal headcanons should inform the way other people view those relationships, is both obnoxious and like. generally not useful commentary.

#av speaks #some of this is based around flack I've seen in regards to like #the mihawk perona zoro situation #but I've seen it in like #nearly every fandom i've been in in recent years #for starters - it's fiction #so everything's made up and the points don't matter even in regards to canon #but secondarily nobody's relationship is ever just one flat thing #let people explore dynamics how they want to

Ngl it would be hilarious if DC editors and writers just... assumed... Bart was lgbt due to poor research technique because one of the first thing Google says when you look him up is that he's gay. A smart researcher would follow up and dig more, but we've established that the editors and writers aren't that smart or thorough.

#bart allen #if this is how he gets canonized as lgbt I'd laugh and take it #honestly comic bart reads to me more as pan #i just don’t think gender matters to bart in regards to romance

Thinking once again about the intersection of being aro / perpetually single and the Housing Issue. It is without a doubt the biggest issue I face as an aro person, particularly in fucking Canada.

In my province we have rent control on almost all rental units by default. Annual rent increases are capped at 2.5%, and though I have had landlords in the past try to break that law, they back down when you say "that's literally not legal lmao try again".

In my province we also have a type of lease called a group lease, where multiple people sign on as a group. This is the standard type of lease used in properties with more than one bedroom.

If one person wishes to remove themself from a group lease, that terminates the lease for all of the other tenants in the group. Therefore, in order to continue living in the unit they are already in and may have been in for years, the landlord can choose to force the remaining tenants to reapply, and upon signing a "new lease" they can increase the rent by however much they want. Forget 2.5%, they could double rent with no consequences and still get tenants because that's how desperate people are in Canada.

Seeing as that's fucking insane, I talked to multiple lawyers about it the last time this happened to me, and they all said yeah no, if someone wants to be removed from the lease then the landlord can choose to deny a takeover and force a new lease. You can prevent the issues that come with a new lease if everyone remains on the old lease even if they no longer live there, but that is rather precarious for everyone involved and also makes your landlord hate your guts.

Anytime a new lease is signed, landlords can increase by whatever they want, so renovictions are very common (I've been renovicted as well). With all these easy-to-access loopholes, "rent control" is a joke.

It is New Year's Day and I have received yet another email informing me that since one of my roommates decided to leave at the end of the lease period, our lease will be terminating and showings will begin next week. If any one of us wants to stay, we have to reapply at market rates with a replacement person already in the group ready to sign a new lease, or we have to all remain on the old lease.

I left my parents' home in 2016, and since then I have moved 15-17 times, depending what you count as a move, and lived in 12-13 different places. That's due to a bunch of forced circumstances, including co-op placements and illegal evictions, but many of those moves were because the roommates I was living with decided to move on with their lives, and I had no choice but to move as well.

When I tell people I've moved 15 times in 7 years, they are always shocked. I'm like, how have you NOT though? Having had this conversation many times, I start to ponder what makes me vulnerable to this type of exploitation, and what makes my friends able to avoid some of it.

#1. As a low-income disabled person, I am unable to afford "market rates". This means I'm always tryna get units that are below market rate, and those landlords are invariably very interested in removing their tenants to bring their busted-ass units up to market rate.

#2. I am SINGLE bro. No one is planning their life around living with me. Every time a roommate leaves, I get forced out too. I did have a long-term roommate for a couple years who bounced around 4 places with me, but eventually she moved city - as is her right - and I was forced out again.

Couples also have more options when it comes to affordable housing, particularly if they are willing to share a room. Sharing a room cuts your rent in half. It’s pretty rare to see just one person living in a 1bed because it’s just ludicrously expensive, but for couples it’s a decent option. During the searching stage as well, if you already have someone to live with it’s a lot easier to find places than if you also have to find new roommates (this part is especially brutal for me as a trans person). It is certainly still difficult for couples in the market, I know couples who have ended up homeless as well, but being alone makes you more vulnerable.

The housing crisis is a broad issue affecting literally everyone, but single people are one of the groups that is systematically disadvantaged, making it a significant issue for aros imo. It is the combination of being single and low-income that has made me so vulnerable to housing instability.

Edited with minor corrections

#yo sorry i remade this post cuz there was a bit of an error on it regarding the legality of evictions #hardly matters but i don't like spreading any misinformation #it's hard to evict but easy for the landlord to make your life hell for choosing to stay #and if the people who leave truly want to no longer be responsible for the unit then there is no choice the lease must be broken #which breaks it for all parties #insane #bonkers insane laws

the venn diagram of people who actually understand pelor’s complexity and the people who understand vex’s character is a circle and a very small one at that

#it’s about them both being secretly kind hearted with harsh and dickish exteriors to protect the things that matter to them #like. please rewatch c1 and the info we get about pelor in it #where it is reiterates time and time again that pelor faced a significant brunt of the calamity. who watched ioun get struck down. #who shares a plane with sarenrae after her believers were essentially extinguished #and tell me again how his actions (of which we have. still very little info) are unreasonable #they are Absolutely asshole actions #but yknow. vex was also inclined towards asshole actions when her loved ones/the stability of her life was threatened #anyway this isn’t discourse this is just how i feel about two of the fandom things that irritate me the most and their correlation #honestly i don’t super want anymore vm cameos for a While but also i would love a vex one if it was regarding pelors champion stuff #especially now that we won’t have deanna around #vex’ahlia #pelor #the dawnfather #vex’ahlia de rolo #critical role #my posts

Sorry, a COSPLAY GUIDE?????? I MUST AQUIRE but I am too anxiety to even not send an anonymous ask let alone message my biggest fucking idol rn

& AQUIRE YOU SHALL! this rinkydink little " cosplay guide " ( if this can be considered one, i'm not a cosplay expert so i'm not sure ) was something i whipped up in an hour for a twitter meme back in APRIL of last year.

i picked the best & most accurate looking items in clothing + bare minimum accessories i could find on google & simply SLAPPED it on this page with little more regard to anything else.

HAVING SAID THAT, I didn't take into account any kind of budget while making this, so be advised if you should go looking for these items in specific. ( also the sweater was an ebay find & it was actually GREEN not orange, i just edited it, but if you can find a comfortable orange sweater, maybe with stripes, you're golden ) i always recommend the cheapest you can get for- what could probably be considered closet cosplay, in this regard.

& hey! if you DO want to cosplay thierry, i would be EXTREMELY honored & would love pictures if you'd like to send or post some! don't worry too much about the specifics & just have fun with what you're doing, add all the accessories & details you want, & go nuts!

EDIT; YOU ARE TOO NICE TO ME OP DON'T BE SO SHY NOW <3

#anonymous #inbox #TSP blogging #Thierry tag #ALSO YES he wears garterbelt socks even though you have never seen them before. yes he's gay & so are you #ALSO THE GLASSES SHAPE & COLOR REALLY DON'T MATTER #i just picked up whatever in that regard #AGAIN YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT THE SPECIFICS JUST HAVE FUN IF YOU DO IT

I just finished Tulin's storyline and excuse me while I bawl about this game further cementing the fact that Revali made himself a Champion. He was no descendant of an ancient Sage nor did he have a loving family to train him (that we know of). There was no power destined to be his: he crafted his own version of wind control without any support or spiritual guidance and excelled at it and then he and the other Champions went into battle without the special helms, without a sacred tear/charm to further enhance his abilities, without the certainty of two rulers (and a sage from the future) with god-like powers that could back them up if things went awry. Because of this, the original Sages survived where the Champions did not.

Revali was doomed from the start and if he'd known he would've still honed his craft and piloted Medoh with his beak held high and I am in shambles about it

#totk spoilers #tears of the kingdom spoilers #totk meta #don't mind me i'm having a normal one #and to be perfectly clear: this is not me downplaying tulin's achievements #I adore him and he worked his ass off and he /made/ himself worthy of the title of Sage and i wouldn't have it any differently #son boy son i would die for him #but by god do the champions (and revali in particular) hurt an extra amount in retrospective #totk may refuse to mention the champions by name (at least so far idk about the other regions) #but revali is so fucking present in the negative spaces he inhabits #revali's theme still plays at the flight range #when teba is introduced there is an emphasis on the strip of cloth attached to the great eagle bow #revali's landing is the first area of rito village that clears after the blizzard #the village's main spire is now named after medoh #and tulin looks far more honored to receive revali's bow (which is regarded as the very best) than he is about becoming a sage #it is thanks to revali's sacrifice that the village was granted the chance to thrive and defend itself #and that truth lives on no matter what

I have been meaning to talk about how accomplished Jun is though. She:

is such a powerful psychic that her clan apparently considered her a 'chosen one'

is literally such a strong fighter that she is able to suppress projecting her aura - something only the most powerful are able to do - which is why animals feel safe to approach her

fought well enough in the second tournament that Kazuya still thinks about her strength 22 years later in the story mode and waxes lyrical about it in his character ending (❓ on if she actually faced him though)

defeated Devil while pregnant ✔️ (only the half, but still counts)

has the survival skills to not only survive but thrive far from civilization

defeated Ogre ✔️

achieved the above via drawing power from sacred ground, something the average person obviously cannot do

is implied to have Yatagarasu guiding her per one of her intros

#in another world she's a shonen anime series main character let's be honest. #regarding the ❓ i have Opinions™ but tried to keep this factual. #being real with you the number of ppl on the planet that she couldn't school in a fight is in single digits for sure. #also raw strength aside i do feel kaz prob also deeply admires her spirituality #she has attained a non-material fulfillment that culturally is quite significant and as i said in a prior post-- #--is considered a measure of one's quality as a person and the value that you bring into the lives of those you love. #i did not mention the 'kazama blood' or potential link with 'angel' bc rn those are not clearly defined #also being born with special blood isn't something 'earned' rly so while it matters™ it doesn't belong on an 'accomplishment' list imo. #i love that she's so strong and well rounded in her own right and not just 'the mom' or a distressed damsel
