I'm gonna be honest here: one of the more exhausting parts of the online discourse is how much of a tightrope I am always on, that those of us who care about human rights for all human beings are always on, because any statement made in favor of the "other" side is ripe for tokenism.

I, as a Jew, care about the safety and human rights of Palestinians and Arab Israelis. You will never convince me that there is an ethical way to kill civilians, especially children. You will never convince me that police brutality against citizens marching for their civil rights is necessary. You just can't. And yet I have to be so careful when/where I say that and how I say that, because too often this simple acknowledgement that all people are created in the image of Hashem and should be treated accordingly is ripped out of context and placed between a deluge of other posts denying my people that very same acknowledgement. The number of times I have said these things, only to go into the reblogs and see my words surrounded on all sides with violent antisemitism? I've lost count.

And guess what? It's made me less effective as an advocate, it has actively silenced me from speaking up sometimes, because I refuse to be your "good Jew," your token, somebody whose words can be misconstrued to kasher your vile hatred of my people. And to be very clear: Jewish Israelis are my people just as much as fellow diaspora yidden are, and they deserve better from both goyim and diaspora Jews alike.

And I've seen this go the other way, too: I've seen Palestinian activists and journalists who are trying very hard to balance the values of respecting other people (including Israelis and/or Jews writ large) as fellow human beings with the pain that their people are currently suffering. And I've seen their words ripped out of context and used to excuse more violence against them and their people.

And then there are lots of other people - genuinely well-intentioned people who are trying to learn from me - who keep treating me like I'm some paragon of nuance. I'm trying, truly, but I'm Just Some Guy. You know what I do? It's extremely simple and I promise you can do it too, any of you, if you slow down long enough to think before putting anything out there: "Would I say this about my brother? My mom? My daughter? My people? Would I be happy if the person I loved most on this earth was living under these circumstances and being talked about in whatever way I'm about to speak? Would it feel victim-blaming? Would it feel disrespectful of their struggle or dishonest? Does it ignore their history or trauma? Is it actually helping?" These are the types of questions I try very hard to ask myself every time I post about the conflict, about both sides. I try to talk about this as if the people on both sides were my family. Because truthfully? They are. Am Yisrael is a family, before anything else. Palestinians are our closest cousins. This war is a bloodbath and a tragedy, and everyone is suffering. For those of us who are not living there, please remember this and have some respect.

since i cant draw right now: has anyone else ever thought in depth about Astarion fixing his grave stone? y'all ever think about whatever family he has left visiting that?

I'd like to think his parents still mourn him, love him and visit his empty grave. Maybe on his birthday, every year, to clean it up and speak to their beloved son.

I'd like to think that when his parents see this "vandalism" they are at first outraged, cursing the wretches of Baldur's Gate who would dare to desecrate the last loving thing they could do for their child.

Then they read the etching over and over again, their anger slowly fading, making way for confusion and disbelief. They see a familiarity in it; the way the numbers are carved so carefully, a curvature in the script that is so reminiscent of the hand written paper work his father would review. Of the poetry his mother fondly read.

And for a moment they would dare to hope that somewhere, out there in this vast beautiful and often cruel world, their little star is still shining bright.

Opportunist may be our inner negotiator and can, in the right context, be great at talking us out of a pickle, but he also carries so so much of our neurodivergency by being so so tonedeaf in the worst possible situations. I love him.

#I just thought about how each of the voices would handle losing someone in the group #and all I could come up with for Opportunist was just loads of denial followed by a massive m e l t d o w n #Like of the divergent kind #It just made so much sense to me #And now I'm here just realizing why I could relate to his dumbass actions so well #Like obviously he was going to try sweet talking the unforgiving spirit breaking our leg #He hadn't caught onto the “unforgiving” part yet and tbh I wouldn't have either in his shoes #slay the princess #stp #voice of the opportunist
