Just premising this with the fact that Aaron Bushnells self immolation was felt by all palestinians in Palestine and in the diaspora because the idea that someone so deeply upset by what he saw happening to Palestinians at the "hands of their colonizers" decided to self immolate in front of the israeli embassy was a shocking act of solidarity. And that being said this extraordinary act of revolutionary suicide is exactly how you should perceive palestinian resistance who go out and battle one of the most funded armies in the world just so one day palestinians can be free of this occupation and colonial oppressor. Our resistance are not "crazy fundamentalists" they are occupied people who have bore the scars the occupation gives them and woke up and said they will not take the chains binding them anymore. Right of arms is the right of any anti colonial movement and we can't imagine the level of faith they must have in a future free palestine to battle million dollar tanks and drones and soldiers equipped with the latest weaponry

Ao3 is actually massively culturally important and very very good at being what it is. I’m so serious when I say that ao3 needs to be protected as the anti censorship, by fans for fans, nonprofit, volunteer run, expertly designed archival site that it is. You don’t have to read or like fanfiction to understand that on principle, ao3 is a site that should be defended.

Found this in my drafts, but i still think it's true:

on second thoughts, maybe he did try and ez just didn't accept it. he (ez) had/has a self-righteous attitude about things where he doesn't do bad things, they just happen to him, and then he gets to be angry at everyone else because of it.

woke up with the thought that angel reyes must really have hated his brother to let ez go to prison without arranging some form of protection for him.

#idk why i didnt post it lmao

“OH MY GOSH!! HAPPY HAD HAIR! 😱😱😱 He look fine as hell. With or without hair, he is #Daddy 😍”

I’m one of those people that hate change and its where it’s like I’m so used to seeing someone one way that when I see them differently I’m like 😒 but this ain’t too bad. I’m still gonna have to go with shaved head Hap as Daddy tho 😏

it was too tempting 😘

for the fmk alternates: #5 with clay, piney and felipe

why you on anon, huh? too scared to show your face? don't want me to see who would prompt me with this atrocity? it's okay, nonnie, you can come out, I just wanna talk....

go on a six hour road trip with (no car radio, you choose who drives), sit next to on a six hour plane flight, sit across from on a six hour train journey

Road Trip: Piney. I figure if I bring snacks and booze, there is a strong chance that I can at least get him riled up enough to keep me entertained. I am driving as I get car sick as a passenger and I don't trust a single one of these motherfuckers (okay, maybe Felipe) to drive somewhere.

Flight: Felipe. This is a selfish pick because as the smallest of the 3, I want the most room possible. Also, he has that calming, stoic presence and I feel that will help me calm my flight jitters.

Train: Clay. I'm already going to be sick and miserable. Hopefully I throw up on him.

Send me an alternative FMK and 3 names!

i gave up on mayans. which sucks because i wanted to see tig back, but i remember reading spoilers about other things, and i know they would have pissed me off so much.

also, my brain literally could not watch more than one scene at a time without being over it.

will eventually (tomorrow??👀🤷‍♀️) watch the last two episodes of mayans, but i just haven't been feeling it lately. i did watch bend it like beckham today though and i enjoyed it like i did the first time, but my goodness is it a 2000s™ movie

i didn't finish season 4 btw, so i have no clue how ez and the guy who protected him worked out plotwise. and it's been a while since i watched the earlier seasons, but iirc angel was with coco when he/they gave ez the gun, implying that he/they already had some connections.

i'm just finding it funnyodd that angel knew what life would be like for his brother (the copkiller who had no real sense of criminal life beforehand) and then just, did nothing.

woke up with the thought that angel reyes must really have hated his brother to let ez go to prison without arranging some form of protection for him.

part 2!

thoughts on mayans pt.2

(s4 mostly) part 1 here bc apparently i have a lot of thoughts

controversial - but i kinda like hope and nails. i think nails was better suited to hank, especially because he was gonna step up for her in a way that angel never did. and sure nails was a ons/fwb broken condom situation, but that doesn't mean she should be faulted for falling for someone who was a self-absorbed arsehole and wanting her child to have a 2-parent household. she went about things wrong, but at the same time, i think angel led her on in regards to what he would and could bring to the table. i hope she bails after the loss of her baby.

hope and coco had a sweet relationship, and whilst i don't think they were madly in love soulmates, it was nice to actually have a mayan in a relationship and be putting in the effort. (obvious exception: marcus). i also enjoyed her storyline: she was from charming and after soa s7, got mixed up in drugs. like the nords were still probably running it, and sons overlooked it. and she ended up around stockton and oakland mayans bc that's what she knew? let's not act like sons were saints with mad respect for the girls at the clubhouse bc they weren't. her ending up on meth mountain, with a son who didn't care, is supposed to be shitty, bc that's what the club gave the girls who weren't old ladies: a shitty deal. so her getting clean and having happiness with coco was a good thing. addiction isn't easy, and nor is recovery and i liked that they showed that, and how coco was going to help her through it. it sucks that there is no hea for hope, but i don't think there should be.

leti is an annoying character, and after the rumors i've read about emily, that 4x06 scene was annoying and kinda cringy. she's not the greatest actress and i feel like she sort of doesn't do much other than be pissed. i can't tell if that's the writing and lack of development for the character after 4 seasons, but it's growing stale.

i don't know how i feel about taza's storyline being ongoing still? it's good that there are actual repercussions for things that have happened in other seasons, bc they keep getting overlooked. it is getting old though, and lbh bishop could just drop him in it and tell marcus that's the reason for the war.

the sons/mayan war storyline is frustrating. jess should've known what she was doing, and her naivety is annoying. how do you hang around a clubhouse for years and not realise they'll shoot people. you literally heard someone die a few months back. did you think they were gonna sit down and talk it out??!

i'm glad marcus brought up 92 and how no one won, bc i feel like mayans (show) often forgets he does have a history. i'm a little annoyed they're bring esai into it though i can't wait until he tells ez it's bc his son was a power-hungry idiot who made moves that impacted everyone, and he needed to die to stop a war. 1 necessary over many unnecessary. marcus has become softer from sons, which means he'[ll probably die bc he's not what a 1% leader should be. even though i actually think he's one of the bet ter leaders.

i've been annoyed by the galindos in the past seasons, but at this point thank fuck they're here. the only saving grace. i'm ready for miguel to be the cartel leader he was in s1 but more. i have enjoyed him sort of spending time with his aunt and martín, and working on himself. i think he lost who he was after dita died.

i'm conflicted over what emily's storyline is bringing to the table. like i know we need to know she's alive and in hiding, because it's gonna be important to miguel's story. but outside of that, i don't really care. i liked the emily who was ready to get her hands dirty and join miguel's world when cristobal was missing. i don't like the dreary "ez 😍" bullshit version. but i fear any hope of emily being a force not to be fucked with is long gone.

i'm glad tig is returning, but it will probably be some fanservice cameo, and it may not be enough to make fans view this show like they have before

i realise this is so much longer than it should have been, and the fact that i have had to make 2 posts?! goddamn. but i have a lot to think about. i'm not sure it will be renewed, which is a shame bc it had potential. if it does, s5 would (read: should) be the last. and even then, i don't know that i'd watch it. i'll have to finish this season and decide if i can go through more of this.
