#state to form

[urmomsstuntdouble]

not to be political but I've seen a lot of people saying that those who call Israel an apartheid don't know what they're talking about and um. As someone who has studied South African apartheid as well as grown up in a Jewish community. This claim has more merit than you think

#this post is brought to you by an article i read “debunking” the claim that israel is an apartheid and their “evidence” #included several policies that are the same if not more intense than apartheid era policies against black south africans #there are comparisons that hold weight here #although one thing i dont get and havent had explained to me yet. it looks to me as though both arabs and jews are indigenous to the region #in the way that both the hopewell culture and lenape people are indigenous to my state of pennsylvania #and thats a flimsy comparison i suppose since the hopewell culture (who lived here first chronologically) has died out #but anyway theres a case for indigeneity for both jews and arabs #its so silly to me that we dont consider both to be indigenous? yes many jews that came into israel in the early 20th century were #white europeans and carried the colonial baggage of that with them #but idk why its so hard to believe that an oppressed group can also be an oppressor?? like where's the intersectionality babes #anyway. the original point of this post was that maybe more of yall need to look into what south african apartheid was actually like #much like h*m*s leadership a lot of the ANC leadership was forced into exile and had to live and work outside of their country #(and this comparison is not perfect im aware. the tactics of the anc and h*m*s are totally different. however i think this comparison has #weight in that they are both one of the biggest names in opposition to the government. they do this in different ways at different levels o #intensity and violence. that is not to be ignored. but there are some comparisons that we can make and exile doesnt strike me as a bad one) #the bantustans in south africa were also constructed in a way that much like the west bank makes it highly difficult for an actual real #state to form #and the way that theyre set up invites puppet governments and corruption. this gives a major advantage to the apartheid state #id recommend reading Trevor Noah's Born A Crime if you havent #its a great introduction to what daily life in aparthid and after was like (its a memoir from about 1990-2005ish) #(apartheid was legally ended in 1994 but there are still remnants of it today and there were even more at the time of Born a Crime) #anyway these are my political thoughts of the day #edit: to my tangent about both groups being able to have some sort of claim to indigeneity. that in no way justifies any of the brutality #going on #i think its espeically cringe of israel to claim indigeneity and a sacred relationship with the land then create an environmental #catastrophe like they have in gaza. making the land unliveable is a bit of a perversion of the relationship you have with that land innit #in case it wasnt clear: ceasefire now and free palestine

Because I have just seen this specific thing for the second time, I would like to say:

If I reblog your art, I do not expect you to reblog (or share!) my fic in return

If I comment on your fic, I do not expect you to comment on (or read!) mine in return

My enjoyment of anyone's work does not come with strings or expectations

My friendship is not a bill that you will have to pay later

That's it!

#the fucking obsession with fandom becoming ~content creation~ has got to stop. this is not a business. #i don't like it when someone acts like i owe them because they complimented my work #and i will never do that to someone else #kindness has to be freely given or it isn't kindness; it's manipulation #this just. makes me feel super gross and it upsets me that it's happened twice #and that both people explicitly stated in their profiles that this is an expectation they have of fandom #you can't form a community by force. that's not how it works. #anyways. rant over. i just want it to be known that i'm not expecting anything from anyone lol #if i talk to you or hang out it's because i want to. i don't want anything from you except you know #kindness and companionship or w/e #bleargh. gonna go play a game or something. #dixeram

#I SAY PERSONAL BC ITS MY OWN SPIN ON IT. NOT CHIPPERS CANON UNLESS THEY DECIDE TO OR NOT YOU HEAR ME /LH #I made a banner and everything this time. PLWEASE send them your questions not me JAJFHDSF #I thought it would be cool if macaque has two separate forms as a shadow and inside a mindscape. like I wanted his shadow form to reflect #him in his prime and then the mindscape form as what he looked like when he died. or a more vulnerable state at least #based on LBD appearing to MK as the ivory lady when she died in the S3 special. I don’t know exactly what it was but my first thought seein #the white void was she was appearing to MK in his mindscape to talk to him. so I built on that #I wanted to give him a more ‘Smokey’ look as a shadow just based on how he manipulates them in the show like in shadow play. I hope this #makes it look cool and immaterial. and then his mindscape form would be more battered up and tangible #the last couple images are chippers ideas though since they said the monkeys are drawn to MK when macaque is possessing him lol #and the fact that macaque doesn’t have any senses unless he’s possessing someone + literally sniffing out wukong in the scroll 🤨📸 #I also have a vivid image of macaque moving from the mindscape to physical form like umm. kind of like when he passes the boundary between #physical and spirit/mind(?) it’s like the shadow covers him like ink. or pulling Saran Wrap over your face and it clings to your skin #so it kind of makes the shadow seem like a sort of shell or covering.. and I love the idea of MK meeting macaque in the mindscape for the #first time too. like the moment mac rescues him from LBD and MK sees him all battered and tired looking brooooooo #I’m not even sure if that would count as a mindscape but it rattles around in my brain like loose marbles #god I fucking love this au. gives me imagination fuel swear to god #my art #doodles #lmk #Lego Monkie kid #Monkie kid #lmk au #re-bound!au #rebound au #lmk sun wukong #lmk swk #lmk macaque #lmk six eared macaque #lmk mk #lmk xiaotian

i dont have any trigun mutuals so i'm just gonna ramble my thoughts into the infinite void of tumblr. and im sure others have touched on this same topic but

it almost seems like vash is getting softer with every new installment of trigun? like incredibly consistently and incredibly specifically.

let me explain.

i'll start with tristamp and work backwards; the tristamp vash we all know and love there is incredibly adverse to violence.

more often than not he ACTIVELY refuses to fight and just WON'T draw his gun. this post loosely counted the amount of bullets that he shot throughout all of season 1, and almost ALL of them (like to an insane degree) were dished out against knives, who vash knew was strong enough to take the hit.

the few times vash does draw his gun against a human in tristamp, it's as a blunt force weapon (against the badlads gang and livio, for example) or to disarm others/save someone with ricochet (like shooting the punisher before wolfwood can kill livio).

he just doesn't shoot people. at ALL.

then if we look at 98 trigun, things change drastically.

here, vash isn't afraid to hurt people a little if it means more will be saved in the end. of course he never kills, but he actually shoots people here. not only that...

he holds a casual, sarcastic conversation while pointing his weapon at people.

he constantly shoots at limbs to immobilize people, fires warning shots extremely close to peoples' vitals, and performs several very insane trick shots throughout the show to wound those with armor.

tristamp vash wouldn't even draw, but 98 struts around firing warning shots into the sky and singing about bloodshed for intimidation! i'm not sure there's a single episode where he doesn't shoot someone at least once.

...so what about trimax, then?

(PLOT SPOILERS AHEAD)

he is so. shockingly. violent.

of course he never kills. of course he's still trying to save people, but there's this anger in him that i was completely taken off-guard by reading for the first time.

tristamp vash is so soft he's painful to watch. 98 vash makes a heartbreaking effort to be as silly and nonthreatening as possible, constantly making himself out to be the fool. but trimax?

he's... literally grief-stricken and out for revenge. explicit revenge. he's angry and he's hurt and he lays his intentions out so clearly. he's making THREATS.

seriously:

hunting legato. HUNTING him.

it's not even a matter of drawing his weapon anymore. he does it constantly, and fires just as much. never to kill, but he doesn't joke around the way 98 vash does. the most he'll offer is a sunny smile to reassure others and nothing more.

i'm not that far into the manga, either. i'm sure there's countless more (and probably better) panels to convey this side of trimax vash, but i suppose it also says something that i've found so many panels depicting this so early on.

but the progression of vash's personality is fascinating regardless.

from a tortured, angry loner desperately trying to cling to his morals for rem's sake

to an equally devastated man who devotes himself so completely to acting the role of the fool

and finally to the sad, chronically depressed shell of a person in tristamp who refuses to so much as draw his weapon.

#trigun #trigun stampede spoilers #tristamp spoilers #trigun 1998 spoilers #trigun 1998 #trigun 98 spoilers #trimax spoilers #trigun maximum #trigun maximum spoilers #vash #vash the stampede #ok god just trying to cover my bases with all those tags #the last thing i wanna do is spoil anyone #this is such an incredible series and i want everyone to enjoy it in its purest form #but yeah i could ramble about the different vashes aaaaaaaalllll day #i kinda wanna compare all the ww's too cuz even if the differences arent so violently distinct theyre like twice as intricate #but vash's relationship to violence over the years is the most fascinating thing. he's so quick to fire in trimax and 98 for the safety of #others- both with wildly different mental states behind those bullets- but tristamp just. doesnt. Period. #tho admittedly this s1 tristamp has kind of turned out to be the prequel. i wonder if he'll be quicker to the punch in s2 #anyway god gonna stop rambling now. this post was mostly just for me anyway cuz i wanted to put my thoughts in order #ill be surprised if this goes anywhere #trigun spoilers

divine intoxication

#tloz #ocarina of time #oot #ganondorf #i think abt how oot was the first time he’d ever transformed into beast ganon and i cri #and how it seems like in any scenario where he gets to return to being a human he tries to stay that way #or at least not be controlled by a power that turns him into something else completely. like make it into a puppet he can control #and even in TP when he turns into dark beast ganon it looks like he was initially trying to reform back into a human but lost control #and doesnt even. try to go back to that form. doesn’t even acknowledge it just fights you as a human for the last 2 phases #i feel like while ganondorf and ganon are the same actual person their mental states are just so far deviated from each other that it’s #frightening for ganon to imagine being reduced back to a human being with no power #and frightening for ganondorf to imagine returning to a state that is completely uninhibited and often devoid of rational thought #which to me is like. an extreme version of having severe mood swings. or being on/off medication and feeling like 2 different people #idk its interesting. ganondorf ganon dichotomy my love
