look ive seen a lot of weird takes about the we didn’t start the fire cover because apparently (?) some people are mad (??) because ‘anyone can put together words that rhyme, they should have put the events in chronological order’ (????) and I’ve decided that look, it doesn’t matter if it’s chronological, because this is it. It’s events that matter to this generation, and it SHOULDNT sound exactly like billy joel’s version. they’re not going to be billy joel. NO ONE is going to be billy joel. the point of a cover is to make it your own and by making the events out of order it seems more frenzied and crazy, which, to be honest, the events it covers ARE. it IS crazy. and to end with ‘world trade, second plane’? that is INSANE. I got chills. that is a moment that the people who were alive during the event will remember FOREVER. it literally changed the entire course of history and started a spiral of events not only politically but musically as well, starting in an idea and ending in we’ll carry on. It makes perfect sense to end a song about the chaos of the modern and recent world on an event so defining in people’s- relatively recent- lives. and I saw this pointed out too (I believe by @thekintsugikid) and I wanted to mention it. fall out boy says, ‘we’re trying to fight it.’ In Billy’s version, he said ‘we tried to fight it.’ and look. we are trying. The world is going to shit. We’re all going to die someday, probably in some gruesome way. but we’re trying. we’re trying to fight it. we have hope, this younger generation. we won’t give up. we will survive. persistence, I think, is the biggest part of glory. and so, it just means something to me. it doesn’t have to be in chronological order. it doesn’t have to be perfect. the boys had fun, and that’s what matters, but I really think that the cover does reflect us overall

#fall out boy #fob #toby speaks #I don’t know where this was going #Toby’s meta #It had a direction but it was lost. i was writing this while also making soup so i got mixed up a bit #pete wentz #patrick stump #joe trohman #andy hurley #we didn’t start the fire #atlas I apologize for tagging you btw i can take it out if you want I just thought you might want credit because you’re. a genius #also I feel like I can’t really speak here because I wasn’t born until like late 2000s #so I missed a lot #but I did get pretty much all of the references

“The three [hostages] had been holding up a white flag and were fired upon against Israel's rules of engagement, according to an initial inquiry into the incident, a military official said on Saturday.”

It’s been recorded fact since October that the Israeli Occupation Forces have been deliberately killing unarmed civilians in Gaza and the West Bank. Videos from the siege of Al-Aqsa Hospital show patients and families shot as they hold white flags. Up until this point though, the official line of the US and Israeli government has been to deny the war crimes that are easily visible and documented by multiple sources.

The murder of 3 unarmed, white-flag-waving Israelis by the IOF for the crime of seeming Palestinian is further proof that the IOF is on a campaign of murder and not conquest; the goal of Israel’s assault is to drive all people from Gaza through the random and mass killing of civilians.

Of note is that the Israeli government did not choose to deny this particular war crime. Possibly, government officials decided that Israeli citizens would accept the killing of their own if it were passed off as the actions of a few bad actors instead of the transparent, inevitable results of a mass murder of every human left breathing in Gaza. More likely is that the government was aware that the previous three hostages killed by Israeli forces were used as PR by the Al-Qassam brigades, and that there was no way that the murder of the hostages would stay quiet long enough for Israel to cover it up. Either way—now that the Israeli government’s official line is that its soldiers are killing surrendering civilians on purpose, the US has finally thrown away the last flimsy shred of plausible deniability. Biden is supporting a government that is openly and explicitly enacting a genocide.

#jerusalem #free gaza #free palestine #more of the ‘things that make you feel like you’re going insane’ #based on US citizens’ reaction to the wars on Afghanistan and Iraq #(cough cough friendly fire incident cough) #a good chunk of ​the Israeli public is as likely to support the IOF killing all hostages than to support halting the genocide #we’ll see where it goes.

by all these reactionary ferrari headlines you’d think that carlos has a 14-1 h2h record over charles so far or something but if you use your brain a little you’ll realise the number of comparable weekends has been 2. two.

#not even going in how embarrassing it is that carlos is qualifying better rn because he’s shitter on the tires #if this theory is true its not even skill… its a lack of skill… that he’s benefitting from… #we’re also on race fucking four gods he needs to get a seat #and if the headlines all mysteriously quiet down and its crickets when charles starts dunking tenths on him in quali again- #ive done great at avoiding these but i saw some clickbait mark webber headline and i was genuinely curious like what does mark webber have #to say. turns out nothing much he avoided the question like a smart man. fuck f1 journalism #this is fucking crazy like you’re doomposting over 2025 ferrari based off 2 race weekends?? are u on crack #by this metric at the end of the 2023 season where carlos was like fucking nowhere while charles was battling max for the win in vegas #there should have been articles asking for sainz to be fired like it has to go both ways #lewis wouldn’t drop the ball at ad23 like someone did hahaha

obsessed that the one time dandelion ever actually felt guilt in his entire life maybe was not for the cheating, not for the cucking, not for the drinking, not for the whoring, not for the cheating (reprise), not for the avoiding paying his tab, not for the petty and minor theft, but he felt bad because he felt like he was not that good of a friend to geralt

#sorry ill go back to writing to meet my deadline now 🏃🏻‍♂️ #c: dandelion #the witcher books #it does kind of frustrate me though that other fans tend to see dandelion’s presence in baptism of fire as like random #he is also going through his baptism of fire. it’s their collective substitute for therapy #like if you’re wondering why dandelion is there just read the first and fifth chapter of BOE and the second and fifth chapter of TOC #he has to help geralt. he has to do it now. because he couldnt before. but now he can #dandelion’s arc in boe and toc is so subtle but its so satisfying like he becomes just a little less worse but still sucks #also to be clear i dont expect people to feel guilt for drinking or being a patron of sex work #i only included those things because they define dandelion #sometimes people feel guilt for that but it’s not inherent #the other things though (cheating and evading paying your bill) you should feel guilt for lol #im just saying. you dont have a guilt vision when you cheat on like over ten girlfriends at once but #you have guilt hallucinations (though they were probably real) because geralt got hurt? #dandelion is literally the phenomenon in shounen anime where #the guys seem gay but only because they prioritize their male friendship so much and disrespect women so much in comparison #dandelion can be mlm and a misogynist like i dont think those things cant ever overlap #txt

“Why do people choose to live in an area where the weather can kill them?”

“Just move then”

“It’s your fault for being there”

“Why aren’t you driving away?”

“YoU cHooSe to LiVe ThErrE”

The comments being made on a video about a recent, mostly unexpected natural disaster

1) how callus and rude

2) please tell me then where everyone is supposed to live since you know everything. Name one place in the entire world where there is no bad weather or natural disasters ever. Name one place free from tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, wildfires, mudslides, sandstorms, snowstorms, floods, earthquakes, heatwaves, cold waves, blizzards etc etc Every area has problems, please tell me where people should go

4) “jUsT MoVe DuH” not everyone has the luxury to just pick up their entire lives and move on a whim- due to things like money, jobs, cost of living in other areas, children, military families who have to be in a certain place, housing market, how expensive moving is etc etc It’s not so simple thanks

3) don’t be fucking stupid, at least pretend you have an ounce of common sense

#like how can you see a video of a natural disaster in action and see the after effect and literally say it’s your fault for being there??? #that’s what you are going to say to people #even though it’s been explained multiple times that kind of weather is rare here and no one had much notice until it was already happening #the west coast is on fire #the mid west has tornadoes and earthquakes #the north has blizzards #the south has heatwaves and tornadoes #the east coast has hurricanes #if you’re so smart where should ppl go

If you’re putting off loud ass firework tonight in the suburbs around other houses, let it be known I hate you. nearly kills my dog every year.

#first day of disability month is flooded with panic inducing noise. fuck America #could you losers drive out to open country that’s flat to let out fucking industrial level fireworks. #I don’t mean the small driveway ones or even just one or two smaller ones #I mean the ones that fucking send a shockwave through the whole house like a bomb is dropping. #nothing BUT those it sounds like a war zone out here #I hope you people set ur house on fire #killing birds bats and bugs and more #y’all aren’t even celebrating veterans like you think you are. every vet I’ve ever talked to or heard of HATES it. #putting people in danger to blow out ur eardrums setting off massive fireworks at close range. #y’all are fucking annoying #I wish there was like. etiquette for fireworks this time of year. #where you could put a sign out like ‘this neighborhood as a very anxious senior dog’ or ‘this house is sensitive to loud noises’ #’this house as someone w PTSD’ etc. but no everyone is supposed to get over it and shut the fuck up #and if we don’t like it we’re joyless funkillers #and if the sign is out then you have to find somewhere else away from that house to set off your fireworks. #and if you can’t find a spot without signs then you fucking get over it and have ur burger without ear shattering noise #or you know. go watch PROFESSIONALS set off fireworks instead of risking yourselves your neighbors and everything around you #I’m sorry if ur 4th of July is ruined bc you could set off industrial professional level fireworks then you genuinely need psychiatric help #if you set off a few. this isn’t about you. if you’re putting on a fucking show stopping finale this in fact is #every Fourth of July is a borderline extinction event for wildlife too. animals can die just from the sound. #they DO die. there’s a massive amount of dead animals found every year after nationwide firework events like this #y’all are killing the wildlife and then scratching ur dumbass heads going ‘huh I wonder where the fireflies went’ #you know what’s prettier than polluting the air with pyrotechnics? fireflies! where are they? you killed them! #i LIKE fireworks too. I just don’t like them in my neighborhood by my novice neighbors surrounding me on all sides. #not every single house needs to set off fireworks. fucking stop it

earlier this morning, my brain slapped me with the realization that most of my character pairings / preferred ships are some twist on a specific trope. i don’t think it really helps that these were all accumulated throughout the years and i HAVEN’T REALISED…!

thank you apocalypse/barrier maiden + knight, i really owe a lot to you 🫠🤧

#bleats #i’m always amazed at how realizations can come in waves or all at once! #sometimes i’m like “ohhhh— OHHHH !” #this one was like “NOOO!!!” #i haven’t shared much of my stories aside from visual tidbits so if ur reading tags u prolly won’t see them for a while yet :’) #unless you’re my wife and you’re visiting my blog again in which case HELLO #puella magi madoka magica has homura + madoka & sayaka + kyouko which is so UGHHH #and a cool role reversal for anthy and utena from RGU! where the knight is also a plot maiden like sayaka but in a diff way #my EO cast has ~2 (EO2 & EO5) pairs but if you wanna stretch that becomes 8… (and i think i only alluded to one so far) #magical boys / CR has two main pairs which play on this since the premise is highly based off PMMM ToT #those who followed me from my CR days know who talking about #oh i almost forgot slay the princess and signalis too! AGHHH! #and finally we get to fire emblem where i predictably go for the deurotagonist bwahahahaha #it honestly makes me excited to share more and i have been trying! i just feel like i don’t work fast enough since i want to give context

in my hc the noble houses of menzoberranzan operate similarly to the houses in ice and fire where they’re constantly feuding with each other but instead of trying to take the throne/control of the whole realm they’re all fighting for lolth’s favour instead. and because they can’t outright declare war on each other (forgot the reason for why they can’t exactly do that but iirc lolth doesn’t like it?? she loves the drama I guess) and if they rise too quickly lolth casts them down so they have to be cunning about it. not to mention if they stay too long in power and do nothing about it that also displeases the spider queen so the nobility’s game of intrigue is constantly moving and working both for self gain and for self preservation.

shri’iia also plays the game but more of a pawn than a player. she’s not born from any noble house (she’s actually a commoner). the only reason why she has any foot in the game is that she’s taken in by the matriarch of faen tlabbar - one of the houses who fervently worships lolth to the point of zealotry - when they’ve heard word that she—a commoner—have managed to succeed lolth’s trials and gained her blessing. lolth blessings are rare to come and making someone a paladin is even more rare so for a zealot house, that’s a a sign they can’t pass up. so, the house matriarch takes her in and keeps in a tower where she’s supposed to pray and train to lolth day and night. the paladin oath that shri’iia swears is both for lolth and her matriarch; she swears to punish the enemies of her mistresses and forever keep her loyalty to them. her matriarch’s word is an extension to lolth’s will, so to disobey her will be disobeying lolth herself.

and ofc shri’iia being born poor with everything to give and nothing to lose, who thought that there is more to her life than a merchant’s daughter, to be known by the goddess she worship and noticed by one of the most influential houses in the city, swears herself to that oath. she never regretted that choice not even when she’s kept in that tower in complete isolation with her matriarch being the only person she could interact with.

#shri’iia’s backstory to me is like og fairy tale of rapunzel but instead of the witch raising her to be a daughter #the witch raised her to be a very well trained guard dog instead #see I’m just thinking; in a setting where subterfuge is key and the truth is what people is made to believe instead of the actual #factual truth .. the fact that you have a person that no one knows about and is unquestioningly loyal to you that is like your biggest #asset. since she can do everything for you and leave without a trace and no one can link it back to you nor accuse you of being the one #responsible. like in ice and fire she’d be the equivalent of varys’ little birds but she’s only one person lol #anyway does shri’iia develop a toxic codependent relationship with her matriarch? ofc she does #shes trapped in that tower for 100+ years and that’s the only person #not to mention constant isolation can fuck up your mind so ofc she gets obsessed with her. and her matriarch KEEPS her obsessed esp in a #city where you’re not supposed to trust anyone .. her matriarch says that shri’iia is the only person she trusts so ofc she’ll feel special #and this is also why she feels so out of place and paranoid in act 1 events where she gets kidnapped and dropped off on the surface #bc not only that’s her first time being in the surface she also hasn’t gone outside nor interacted with anyone in a long time #and her choice of being compliant and following instead of asserting her own dominance and being a general menace as expected for lolth’s #followers is a survival tactic since she literally doesn’t know what to do or how to go home #and that’s the first choice she had made for herself in so fucking long and that’s what also leads her to her oath breaking #= which is being free from lolth’s dogma and her mistress essentially #anyway I have more thoughts abt this but I’m like … it makes sense.. TO ME ..!

#i’m……upset #there was an incident last year with a coworker who got way too creepy towards me #like for the first time in awhile (especially at work???) where I was like. uh I feel harassed genuinely #and I went to my bosses about it but bc he was only like that towards me/a really good teacher #they were like 🤷🏻‍♀️ well….try to avoid him ❤️ don’t talk to him ❤️ #anyways the last two weeks of school he went MIA and stopped showing up #which for any other employee is an automatic fire so I was like RELIEVED bc then it meant he wouldn’t return for the new school year #I was told today he’s back????????? and was in training with a few other coworkers today #and now I feel sick to my stomach :’) #so excited to go back monday <3 #I have never felt more ignored/not listened to as a woman before lmfao #and because he’s not creepy or persistent with any other woman coworker my bosses are like. maybe you’re just sensitive ❤️ #can I fucking move already #also bc it’s a family owned private school we like. barely have an HR #like at all 🧍🏻‍♀️ #so….sigh

Something happened at work and I don’t even have the words to ramble about how upset I am about it I just feel so defeated and I don’t know what I can even do or why someone in a position of power would choose to do this to someone like as human beings

#I’ll talk about it later but broad strokes my friend who has similar mental health issues as me has been fighting to get disability #accommodations at work that like aren’t even really an ask they’re things that other people are allowed to do without accommodations #the only thing that not everyone is allowed to do is have two telework days a week most everybody gets one and they’re requiring her to take #an all day state psych eval and release all her medical and mental health records to the company and kind of also therefore all other #employment through the state of Virginia because it’s a state job? and she has been diagnosed and getting medical treatment for years her #therapists have been fighting to get her these accommodations and talking with hr and hr and my boss (also her boss) have been saying if she #doesn’t do the evaluation and release all her medical records she’ll be fired and it’s discrimination and she’s planning on quitting before #the eval that they sprung on her for Friday but like this is a job where we defend people with mental health issues and you’re just going to #discriminate against mental health issues within your company? #if they made me do that I would have to quit I’m not going to let Virginia state jobs have access to my mental health records but also it’s #so shitty and it’s coming from HR and our boss so it’s not like she can go to HR about it f #other people in the office knew before me and have done nothing but say oh that sucks #maybe I did have enough words to ramble about it actually my bad #I’m going to cry about it I feel like but it’s not going to help anything and I just want to fix it #this isn’t how you should treat people #it’s disgusting and discriminatory
