The Arc of the Moral Universe – HA’AZINU • 5775, 5776, 5780, 5782
In majestic language, Moses breaks into song, investing his final testament to the Israelites with all the power and passion at his command. He begins dramatically but gently, calling heaven and earth to witness what he is about to say, sounding ironically very much like “The quality of mercy is not strained”, Portia’s speech in The Merchant of Venice.
Listen, heavens, and I will speak;

Our Doctor Johnson
June 20, 1907
Dr. Johnson - (John A.) Doctor of Laws reads a speech to Frank Boswell Day, both dressed as founding fathers. Behind him, Minnesota Laws sit on the operating table.
The caption reads "We may never have a President John A., but we have a Doctor Johnson - that's something."
Governor Johnson had been granted a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania. He had previously denied plans to run for president. Frank Day was a private secretary to the governor.

Crimes of Passion
by letsbreereal
Growing up the adopted daughter of a smalltime crime lord, Darcy learns early on that family means everything. She learns the ins and outs of running a criminal enterprise, has a head for the strategic business side of things, even, but she also learns that such matters are not meant to concern her. The family business is for Odin's sons to inherit; backroom meetings in dingy warehouses are no place for his daughter, who he's always wanted better for.
But whether Odin wants her to or not, Darcy learns from observing: she learns patience, learns strategy, learns to assess risks and identify danger... and she learns how to recognize when a hand's been overplayed, too. So when her foolish, ambitious little brother makes an arrogant mistake he doesn't seem to realize will cost him his life, Darcy steps in and makes a deal with the devil.
It's a risk, but it's one worth taking: She'll marry Brock Rumlow, the infamous Crossbones, and tip him off about Thor's plans in exchange for sparing her brother's life. And she might even find some happiness along the way, too, if only she can figure out what it is about Brock's Second in Command that constantly has her on edge.

There is No Plot
TW: Implied vampires, blood mention, a baby,
Virgil’s humming rang through the hallways. It was sweet and fatherly, like he knew the tune but not the words.
Roman looked up from his writing with a grin on his face.
“Sounds like your dad’s in a good mood,” Roman chimed, looking at Babe, “We should go say hi.”
Babe looked up at him in response to his name while gnawing on his shirt.
“Ba ha gagoo,” Babe babbled back to his father.
“Well put, kit,” Roman chuckled.
Roman lifted his son up into his arms, before starting his way down to the kitchen.
“OH, VIRGILIUS!” Roman sang as he opened the kitchen door.
“Sup doofus,” Virgil responded, before turning around to greet his son, “And hello, little man, how are you?”
“Booskigoo.” Babe giggled.
“Well, that’s good, boraròw.” Virgil cooed, as he poked his son’s chubby cheek.
Virgil looked up at his boyfriend, laying a hand on his chest.
“Did Babe already eat?” Virgil asked.
“No, darling, I figured we’d say hello while I heated up a bottle.” Roman answered.
“Why don’t you just join me for lunch, princey?”
“You know what? That does sound divine, is there any food that won’t kill me?”
“Uhh, let me check.”
Virgil quickly looked in the drawers, trying to find a food item that wouldn’t cause an allergic reaction.
“We have basil and stuff, the garden might have something more meal like for you?”
Roman nodded, and handed Babe to Virgil before going out to the garden.
Virgil hugged his son to his chest, staring at the little bundle of joy in his arms.
“God, you’re so cute.” Virgil laughed, “You get that from your father, but don’t tell him that, it’ll go straight to his head.”
Babe’s response was to put his tiny little baby hands on his dad’s cheeks.
“You want some blood squash soup? Or the usual pork blood?”
Babe just stared at his dad.
“No opinion? Ok,” Virgil kissed Babe’s forehead, and continued to stir the soup he was making.
There was something peaceful about holding their son in his arms. Virgil had met plenty of babies in his years of life, but none of them were quite like Babe. Sure, I mean, a lot of stuff was obviously different, but their son had this sort of energy to him. It kind of reminded Virgil of his mother, they both had these eyes that made it felt like they were listening.
Which, honestly, even though Virgil believed in some questionable things. He did find that maybe even that was a little too far fetched.
“I found an extra squash!” Roman triumphantly cheered when he walked back into the kitchen.
“That’s lovely, Romano.”
Roman swung an arm around Virgil’s waist, giving him a quick kiss.
“Is the fire still hot?”
“Ask that question again but slower, Ro.”
“Oh, oh shut up, Prince Alarming.”
Virgil laughed at Roman.
“We’re gonna have the rudest one year old ever, whenever he learns how to talk.”
“And we’ll be proud, and we’ll let him write our declarations of war, and he will call Bonner a poopy head.”
“I will award him with honorable knights-manship.”
Speaking of Babe, he currently had his little head nestled in his dad’s chest, while his parents bantered together.
“Well, it certainly looks like he has a lot of sleeping to do before he does anything we described.” Roman mumbled, gently patting his son on the back, “God, he’s precious.”
“Yeah, he really is.”
The kitchen fell quiet, besides the gentle crackling of the fire and the sizzling of a freshly picked squash. A few moments passed.
“Hey,” Virgil hummed, swaying side to side with Babe still cuddled into his chest.
“Hey,” Roman hummed back, stirring his squash.
“I love you, Roweboat.”
“My dearest Virgilius, I love you too.”
Virgil smiled to himself, kissing the top of Babe’s head.
“Is he still asleep?” Roman whispered.
“Yeah,” Virgil whispered back.
“I love him so much,” Roman said, glancing at their son.
“Hehe, I love him too.”

Live on Instagram, Rebecca Sugar and Ben Levin (with help from Ian Jones-Quartey) have given us a two-hour fundraiser to benefit the Trevor Project, in honor of Bi+ Awareness Week.
It was a lovely evening hanging out with them. Please see below for a little breakdown of what songs they played and what was discussed during the stream in terms of bi+ youth resources, Rebecca’s experiences, and the importance of having support for bi+ people.
Please go to The Trevor Project and learn more about what they do and how you can help. Their Resources for Bi+ Youth packet is available on the site! You can also donate through Rebecca’s specific fundraiser.
More below:
Rebecca announces this event is for Bi+ Awareness week for the Trevor Project. Ian Jones-Quartey is giving some help with the fundraiser in the background.
First Rebecca plays "Love Like You" on guitar. It's a lovely stripped down version. They're a little bashful about making a couple glitches on the guitar. It's very sweet and charming, Rebecca, no one minds. :)
Next Ben Levin joins on bass and they play "Fries," a longer version than was in the Adventure Time show.
Then Rebecca talks about the Trevor Project and its suicide hotline that they provide for the LGBTQIA+ youth they support. After some tech glitches, they discuss how great Trevor is and what resources and research they provide on why it's so important to support these communities. Since this is Bi+ Awareness Week, they have put together a resource guide. They encourage us to donate to this organization.
Rebecca discusses Ben Levin's involvement on Steven Universe and Craig of the Creek. They decide to play Jeff Rosenstock's song "Illegal Fireworks and Hiding Bottles in the Sand" as a mashup with the Craig of the Creek ending song.
Then they give an update on the donation amounts and Rebecca gets so excited about the support. They admit to being really nervous after no performances for so long.
Rebecca decides to play a solo song and doesn't announce the title at first but Steven Universe fans all know "Escapism." It's a slightly different version with some great guitar additions in an added interlude, and they even throw in some fun super-high squeaky notes at the end.
They give a shoutout to Jeff Liu for the beautiful guitar part. They tell a story about Adam Muto (who worked on "Escapism" with Joe and was Rebecca's board partner on Adventure Time), and how he asked Rebecca to write a song for the Adventure Time finale. Rebecca goes on to play "Time Adventure."
Then they bring Ben back to do the bass while Rebecca sings "I'm Just Your Problem." Rebecca does a cool guitar solo in the middle while Ben rocks on the bass.
Then they do a nice little instrument switch and bring in the omnichord and set up "True Kinda Love." They shout out Chance the Rapper, aivi and surasshu, and of course Estelle for the help writing this song.
Rebecca gets excited again about the amount of people who have donated and gives us info about the hotline for the Trevor Project, how their hotline is available for phone, chat, and text. They also point out the existence of Trevor Project's available pamphlet, which can help people understand their Bi+ friends and family, as well as helping actually Bi+ people understand how they can expect to be treated, how to understand themselves, and that they aren't defined by their partner.
Rebecca then takes a moment to set up with an acoustic guitar (so they can have their foot on a box since they don't have a strap) and they cut out briefly to get it organized. Then they do indeed come back with their foot on box.
With a shoutout to Kate Micucci (who is watching on Instagram Live), Rebecca says she will play "a Lars and Sadie song" that she's figuring out on guitar, and plays "Be Wherever You Are."
Rebecca goes back to getting excited about the donation amount and they can't believe it's as high as it is with the concert less than half over! They say they'd like to make a tradition of doing a Bi+ Awareness Week fundraiser every year. She didn't have access to information that Trevor is now providing to bi youth when she was growing up in the 2000s, and thinks their resources are so vital. She suggests using their resources yourself or that you slip the resources to people in your life who want to support (or need to know more about how to support) bi youth.
Rebecca says they're about to play a "really really hard" song that they're nevertheless excited to go for. They said maybe we can guess what it is. They shout out Nick DeMayo, who's in the audience, the animation director of Steven Universe who is Greg's namesake and taught them a lot about music. And then they jump into . . . a guitar and bass version of "Other Friends"!
They shout out aivi and surasshu, Jeff Liu, and Sarah Stiles for all their contributions to that song, and how cool it is to play a "campfire version" of the song even though it's different.
Next, she wants to play a solo (but will need Ben again right after!) but takes a moment to thank everyone in attendance for supporting the stream and the Trevor Project. They say "thank you for bearing with me" regarding the performance rockiness.
They talk about Marceline and how they felt so connected to this character--writing episodes like "What Was Missing" where Marceline would be revealed to have had a relationship with Bubblegum and be known to be a bi character, and Rebecca felt so astonished that the audience understood Marceline was bi and understood she would always be bi, not fluctuating in orientation based on current relationships defining her. Rebecca explored this about herself only after she saw it explored with Marceline, and understood it was so important to have media that helps people understand who a bi person might be. She never related to the "party person" or extrovert stereotype of bi people as they’re usually shown in media, and thought as a nerdy person who was shy, she couldn't be bi if that was true. Cartoons helped her connect with people who understood those things about Marceline and eventually about herself.
Trevor is so important as an organization to help the next generation understand all of this. Rebecca has felt that knowing herself wasn't possible if she didn't understand her bisexuality or accept it as what it is, and it spread instability throughout the rest of her life. What brought her to finally being able to process and understand this aspect of her identity was cartoons, and she hopes cartoons can bring some others in as well. With that, she brings out the song she was asked to write for Marceline even though she had left the show. Rebecca plays "Everything Stays."
Rebecca then says they were a little conflicted about whether they were going to say all that stuff, about why this issue is personal to them. (It's okay, Rebecca, this is the best!!!)
She says that song was about her stuffed black rabbit that was her favorite toy that she thought she loved so much, but she forgot it in the garden and it was damaged. That it was so surprising to her that she could have loved this rabbit the way she did and not realize it was missing, and that it could change without her. "Everything Stays" was obviously about that, but she also says the situation with Spinel was inspired by the same toy. She switches to electric guitar to sing and play "Drift Away" with Ben back on board on bass.
They point out that they're rocketing through the set list and Ian suggests maybe they'll have to do some encores. In thinking about what songs to play, they point out that so many songs were written about their mental health journey and coming out to family and friends. A song that was "at the end of that whole arc" for Rebecca was "Change Your Mind." It can go on forever, they point out, but they'll only play it a few times. On we go with a really smooth guitar version of "Change Your Mind." (It's the extended looping version.)
They announce that now with the Instagram contributions and the landing page we've reached the goal of $20,000, and they can't believe it's at the halfway point of the stream and we have already reached it despite that the show's been done for a long time and they "broke a lot of social media rules" by stepping away for so long, but that's been crucial to their mental health and their journey.
After they come back from a break, they discuss some funny artifacts that they finally got to take home that were left in the office--a Steven Universe piñata that they were supposed to smash in celebration of a pickup and they didn't want to because, you know, hitting a representation of their younger brother is kinda wack? Haha.
They also had a model of Marceline's bass.
These items were left in the office and just kind of frozen in time because Rebecca's last day (written on the white board, still, when they returned!) was March 13, 2020, just as the pandemic was coming down. Returning to collect stuff was like visiting a room that had been frozen in time!
Rebecca offers a stretch goal to get to $30,000 instead of the original $20,000, and talks a little more about the Trevor Project, discussing how important representation has been, to have bi representation in terms of DIRECT support for LGBTQ+ youth. What they've gotten to do with cartoon representation, having queer characters who can just have fun the way heteronormative kids can and see representatives of themselves is great, but these specific resources are also so important.
Rebecca then plays "Heart of the Country," a Paul McCartney song they're learning that has a hard solo they hope they'll nail. After playing it, they say they flubbed some of it but it was super fun.
Rebecca comes out with an old ukulele--older than the one they wrote the Steven theme song on and auctioned off for National Bailout--that they wrote a bunch of Adventure Time songs and got as a Hanukkah present. (They mention happy 5782 for those of us who celebrate Rosh Hashanah.) Ben is also using his first bass! They recommend musical instruments as gifts for bi people because those are the gifts that keep on giving! They mention working on guitar during the lockdown (which has been therapeutic!) and not having played uke in a while because of that. With that, she dives into "Here Comes a Thought."
They decide to talk about the background of "Mindful Education," how they were coming out at the time they were writing that episode and song. They said coming out was like having the ground spin around. They thought mindful meditation, being so wonderful and helpful, could become an 11-minute episode where Steven leads kids in mindful meditation. With help from Ben (and Matt Burnett), Rebecca realized it would work better if they show characters benefiting from the lessons. They have a little joke about how the episode number was 108 and they prided themselves on knowing the episode numbers. Then they put aside the uke and pick up a big black guitar to play "Found."
After this, she talks more about Trevor Project's hotline, chat, text, and resources. They remind us that bi+ people experience very specific forms of marginalization and this organization can help everyone who wants to understand. She thanks everyone for helping with donations and she can't believe the Instagram fundraiser has gotten to $10,000. She's amazed that "the thermometer is bursting" and promises to draw it later. Ben thinks he could be part of future fundraisers and Rebecca reminisces about times they've played together, like in 2016 at SDCC and a Gallery Nucleus show.
Rebecca goes back to the other guitar to do some audience requests for repeat songs and talks about the song "Fries." The story behind this one, when she was writing it--the first song she wrote for television and the first episode she boarded--since she was introverted and struggled with pitching, she went on the roof of Cartoon Network to practice being louder until she was actually audible. Ian helped.
They decide to do the ending Craig song again and Ben says Jeff Rosenstock's song is really nice and Rebecca talks about getting teary over the Craig ending with people sitting around the dinner table. Rebecca's favorite line is "speaking in a stupid secret language." She feels like she still hasn't moved on from that in her life and likes to surround herself with people who speak that language. After it's over, Rebecca says hi to Jeff Rosenstock in the chat.
They do more shoutouts for the Trevor Project and then discuss encore songs. Rebecca decides to do "Love Like You" again because they were sad they messed up a chord during the first performance. It's another lovely version.
After more great discussion of the Trevor Project's resources and Bi+ Awareness Week, Rebecca says hi to her Brazilian friends and how awesome it was to visit there for a convention, and she loves that Trevor is trying to expand resources to be more global. She knows how important those resources would be to help people worldwide. She thanks people for coming out to see her, and admits to being surprised that her life has come to include actual performances since she always thought she'd just be behind a desk as an animator. She gets very nervous about performing but loves that people support her. They love being able to perform and once got a sweet comment from John DiMaggio (the voice of Jake on Adventure Time) who would hear the early demos that were a struggle to be audible, and he told her that she's come so far that it now sounds like she enjoys performing, enjoys the sound of her own voice now. She feels that coming out and all the support from friends, family, and organizations has made that confidence and comfort with herself possible.
With that, Rebecca plays the Steven Universe theme song on guitar!
And then, they play "Time Adventure" again.
Rebecca talks more about the astounding amount of support for Bi+ Awareness Week, how moving it is and how hard it is to hold it together while talking about what it was like to be an adult who didn't know if they were even allowed to be bisexual and nonbinary, how much of their adult life was in such a quagmire over not knowing fully who they were.
For their next to last song, they play a song written by aivi and surasshu with lyrics by Rebecca: "Being Human" from the ending theme of Steven Universe Future.
Finally, Rebecca says thank you to everyone who's been involved in the songs--the performers, aivi and surasshu, Jeff Ball, the Crew, Ben Levin, Ian Jones-Quartey--and everyone who's helped raise over $11,000 just through the Instagram concert. She plays "Change Your Mind" one more time, adding that the journey is ongoing even though this song was written at a time she considers at the end of an arc of self-discovery for her.
Thank you!
(Yes, I did a donation.)

Pictured-- Sephardic Rosh Hashanah Jeweled Rice with Fiery Honey-Glazed Chicken and Broiled Pearl Onions.
Today evening, the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah begins. It is one of the holiest days in the Jewish calendar and also commemorates the creation of the world, symbolising the duty of humankind to treat each new day as a new beginning, a new opportunity to better ourselves and better the world around us.
The Jewish community all over the world will spend the coming 48 hours in congregational prayers, family feasts, and storytelling. Across the numerous traditions that are observed by various Jewish communities, one universal constant is the partaking of sweet staples like apples and honey to mark the start of the new year, in the hope that it would be a sweet one.
Sephardic Jews trace their recent and not-so-recent diaspora history to Spain and parts of the Mediterranean. This dish here is a common side dish served on Rosh Hashanah by Sephardic Jews. It is a sweet, savory, and spicy rice pilaf, filled with dried apricots, figs, dates, candied orange peel, raisins, and fresh pomegranates. Keeping in line with Jewish dietary laws called Kashrut, it is made without any butter or milk products since the rest of the meal features meat (as it usually does on major holidays).
I also want to take this opportunity to wish all my Jewish friends and family a very, very sweet and blessed new year 5782. Shanah Tovah U'Metukah 🍎🍯. May this year bring you and the Jewish community all over the world, lots of joy and prosperity. May G-d bless you and yours with good health, happiness, and all of his grace.

Of Hopeless Dreams
Of Hopeless Dreams
by Safaia Akuma
This is based on a prompt from 'Blubbery blessed by Kuro' on tunafishprincess' discord server and part of the 'Winter Exchange' hosted on said server for december 2020. (Yes I know I'm pretty late with posting it. Took me longer than I expected.)
Izuku did not get One for All from All Might, thus making him unable to go to UA High to become a hero. But even though that stings, he does not give up and instead aims to become a psychologist so he might help profile and track villains in the future to prevent crime. Since he has shown quite a lot of potential he is send for an internship to Tatarus and ends up with the most unlikely villain of all: 1541 aka All for One and little does he know that the other has been dying to meet him...
