#(current victim)

[astraltrickster]

This post is your reminder that you are not obligated to blog about current events.

Things are bad. Really bad. Do not let people guilt trip you into tormenting yourself even further over the fact that things are bad. Doomscrolling is not activism.

If you're just on tumblr to blorbopost or reblog pretty pictures, you are not harming people by inaction.

You are not a bad person for not dedicating every aspect of your life and leisure space to whatever disgusting mask-off attack on human life and dignity some government has decided to enact.

Take action where you can, but don't confuse doomscrolling and digital self harm for action.

If you need to lose yourself in blorboposting, go for it.

If you need to log off for the day, whether it's to take irl action or to protect what little sanity any of us have left over the past 7 years, then by all means, do.

Morale is important. Hope is important. Small joys keep us from burning out completely in times like this. Do not let any "if you don't reblog this I'm judging you" guilt trip convince you otherwise.

#serious tag #current events #im gonna be offline for the day working on making doll clothes #this is why i keep my blogging and my activism as separate as i can #and only talk about the dynamics of big irl issues as they apply to hobby spaces most of the time - #because i know myself well enough to know that i WILL fall victim to the doomscrolling cycle #it's happened before and im not going there again

Now orthodox Israeli -just for laughs- are making fake videos copying the viral tiktoks of the IOF kidnapping Palestinian fathers and sons and stripping then naked and torturing them. Note that the videos were shared by the soldiers themselves and were horrifying and ugly. You would think that people who survived the holocaust and historical racism and antisemitism would never want to display the same evil, dehumanization and hatred to others, yet these people are celebrating. Remember when people used to bring kids to the picnic/ lynchings?

Now before somebody comes and says how is this helpful? Ask the people who shot this video and were shameless enough to post it as a trend. After seeing the horrific original video that tiktok allowed Israelis to share and celebrate.

#i can't i feel like I'm gonna throw up #the original video was like nothing else i swear how could anybody watch it and go: alright I'll make fun of these victims #i can't stop shaking i can't stop thinking of the victims my god #palestine #gaza #israel #important #current events #ethnic cleansing #free gaza #free palestine #gaza strip #gaza under attack #video #west bank #israelis #israel is a terrorist state #israel apartheid #tiktok

thinking about how certain people at DC believed that steph and cass weren't characters who people cared about or would have long-lasting fanbases, yet when they tried to kill steph off for shock value fans were so outraged that they eventually had to walk it back and say "actually she was alive the entire time, she was just in hiding until now"

and when they tried to turn cass into a villain out of nowhere there was such an immediate backlash that they had to lie and say "we definitely have a plan here guys, don't worry" and eventually went "actually she was just brainwashed, she's back to being good now" (though cass was still hit with more bullshit afterwards)

and finally when they tried to retcon both characters out of existence with the new 52, fans complained enough that they eventually ended up writing the characters back into continuity

i dunno man, it doesn't sound like the characters had issues attracting fans. seems like the issue was something else

#batgirl #stephanie brown #cassandra cain #it still boggles my mind how badly DC dropped the ball regarding them like their current state is not because their characters flopped #it is straight up DC's own fault. they deliberately screwed both characters over #it's honestly so funny and infuriating like holy crap the management at DC is impressively incompetent. #of course steph and cass weren't the only victims of DC's mismanagement but goddamn were they hit BAD by it

"batman is first and foremost about rehabilitation and the possibility of redemption for everyone-" is he. is he really, though. when he clearly believes "criminal" is some personality trait divorced from circumstances and goes around calling goons "scum" and acts as if killing once, even under extreme circumstances that are not at all their fault, taints someone forever?

#see: when he finds out cass was made to kill once as a child #he's witnessed cass's current reverence for life and yet he has a fucking meltdown about it because ''she *was* perfect'' #and that's just one example. #like canon is extensive. there are examples for anything and what you cherry pick to read will influence what you believe #the truth of the matter is that the bulk of what *i* have read shows me this lol #like even in comics where he touts this line some of it (his classism and utter disdain regarding criminals for one) still shows #(often in reflection of a writer's values for sure) #and i can reconcile it as... change is something he WANTS to believe is possible. he TRIES to believe it. but he doesn't. #but i can't agree this is his core #there's also the fact that even if it was he'd often display unbelievable carelessness towards rogue's victims due to it #but that's a whole other topic #and this is all something he teaches to those under his tutelage btw. this is something all bats follow to some extent #talking to the void #my thoughts #dc #dc thoughts #dc comics #bruce wayne #i might be opening a can of worms with this one but i needed it off my chest lol

Decided to do the relationship chart thing but with my own stuff bc, idk, wanted to try

The first one is just generally relations and the second is the relationships between them (both are my personal interpretations/headcanons)

Here the empty template for the second one if you feel like using it (free to use, idc about credits bc I watermarked it already)

tragedy anon back again w u guess it!!! More tragedy!!! Im thinking rn of a Yuu who was always going to die in the end. Like being sent back to their world is the equivalent to a death sentence, and they can't stay in TWST because time always loops and they feel like shit for trapping everyone in a moment when they could all be living their lives if not for them.

Yuu who has always been doomed from the start.... Like maybe yuu has been framed for a crime back in their prev world and when they do come back their execution will commence or maybe it's the apocalypse and when they do come back it's truly only a matter of time when they die. Thinking of the TWST boys who goes to visit them only to find nobody..... But traces of them.... Though I feel like the first scenario is more brutal, imagine you go visit your friend and not only are they dead but they were sentenced to death for a crime you know damn well they did not commit and everyone else is rejoicing.

Rejoicing that they're gone. Rejoicing at the fact that they all had KILLED them. Did Yuu know this was going to happen? If they did why had they not told them?! (they will never know, no one ever will because no one ever asked when they were alive if they were alright and they sure as hell will never get an answer because Yuu is dead and they are gone. Forever. )

:3

Ah tragedy annon, my Billy Shakes if you will, this made me THINK think. Doomed (hehe dyuumed) by the narrative is such a sexy trope. "If you were dead at the end of the story you were dead since the beginning" my beloved.

The main thing that made me think is that in country's that have the death penalty there's typically a lengthy appeals process + a ban on sentencing minors to it, even if they were charged as an adult, that makes it hard for me to see that being Yuu’s situation. That being said I agree that would be an awful, awful thing to come see. I could see someone like Malleus, who hates seeing other people happy when he isn't and is prone to causing storm with his magic, going full Netflix Castlevania and starting an apocalypse in Yuu's world while bringing their body home to be laid in state in Briar Valley. It's his right as King of the Abyss after all. Someone like Riddle might try proving your innocence, thinking about how restoring your good name is all he can do while the Octatrio extract their own kind of justice.

The apocalypse Yuu scenarios are ones I like but haven't played around with much just because post apocalyptic settings aren't my jam but! I could see there being a lot of anger at this Yuu for not telling them their situation. Of course now that the boys are older, they can reflect on their behavior and know why Yuu said nothing. But it's easier to blame Yuu at first than accept that they're grieving. It would take them a long time to work through that I think.

My personal preference for scenarios like these involve Yuu being mortally injured before coming to Twisted Wonderland, either in an accident or an attack, that results in their death when they return. I've also played around with terminal illness that's temporarily cured by going to Twisted Wonderland (my own health issues have made me like that less :/) that Yuu isn't recovered from when they return. Either way Yuu is dead when their friends finally figure out a way to get to their world and they have no way of being there for them. And they have no one to blame but themselves... unless.

Unless...

Maybe they could re-set time again?

#<3 asks #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland x reader #twst yuu #i like the idea of yuu being a murder victim whose case is currently going unsolved and they're just like #nonchalant about it #“i hope i get on buzzfeed unsolved” #“wait they don't do that anymore” #“hope i get on watcher” #“you hope you get what now” #I'm actually working on one cater fic that sort of takes that concept #and have a scene outlined with vil that deals with that too #but idk if i want that to be the point of the fic or if it would go in his “first impressions” fic #tragedy annon

I believe you will never have the courage to say there is any worst genre of music (not including subgenres in this context) if you actually seek out art. if you think EDM, jazz or country etc are bad it's probably because you have never actually heard music in these genres and have misconceptions due to a game of telephone or your only exposure to these genres was the boring, stripped down, whitewashed versions of what the genres have to offer.

#the amount of times ppl have told me they hate metal and then i play them a metal song and they're like wait this isnt bad... #like yea its because you dont seek anything out 😭😭 #and the genres mentioned above have all been victim of white ppl coming and watering it down #what Skrillex is to edm and most current country artists on the radio are to country music and..... #well im rambling also i forgot what i was gonna say

Nate on the ESPN Unlapped podcast: “He’s got that goal, he’s got that hunger back. He’s back in a team that ultimately he feels that is home for him. You know, we talk about Charles and how close he feels to Ferrari and Lewis with Mercedes. I think for Ricciardo, it’s the same with Red Bull. He feels that’s his home.”

#Nate talking about how he’s spent time with Daniel before vegas and how happy and ‘back to his old self’ Daniel is #just yeah …. ​it never gets boring to hear that #I know the moots are currently going off at Zak brown but honestly all I can do is laugh #Daniel never once spoke a bad word about him or his team last year and hasn’t even once taken his name since he’s left that team #and yet he feels the need to constantly put himself in the victim’s role because he fucking knows what he did #every time he goes on one of those podcasts and talk about uwu how hard it was for him #I’m like whine some more you fucking bitch #anyway Daniel’s home now 🫶🏽 #daniel ricciardo #Nate Saunders

On the subject of gotham county line and batman noel and so on and so forth it’s pretty frustrating (from a watsonian pov) that anytime Bruce hallucinates Jason being loving/ caring/helpful/compassionate towards him it’s always as robin and never as his current self

#it's ironic because Jason as robin never got the chance to become as obedient & devoted (malleable) to Bruce as he currently is #which is a result of being abused/manipulated for a more prolonged period of time #“maybe if I try harder and do it right this time he'll finally see the truth” #classic abuse tactic #no matter how well the victim fits the mold set by the abuser they’ll never acknowledge it #rather if they see you trying they’ll push harder and tell you you’re not perfect #the small shreds of affection here and there are important for motivating the victim to keep trying #kelseethe #Jason initiating the hug in rhato 27 after Bruce insinuated that those beatings will be a regular occurence bc he deems it a necessity #continuing to support Bruce even after Ethiopia and sticking around to help get Damian back #eagerly cooperating with Bruce + co in event leviathan then getting surprise pikachu faced/hurt after being betrayed #making a conscious decision to comfort Bruce in gotham war after Bruce fucked him up and left him behind #having undying conern for Bruce's wellbeing while Bruce regularly endangers his life #ex. Bruce's weird habit of committing vehicular assault on Jason whenever they're on the road demonstrated both in tfz and gotham war #point being: Jason was much more psychologically fit to be defiant towards Bruce when he was robin compared to now #he's more of a “good son”™ now than he was as robin Bruce is just too used to thinking whatever he wants and never being satisfied #the only times Jason got mad/upset at Bruce during one issue and continued to stay mad until the next #other than lost days and utrh was batman 410-411 and early in aditf before Bruce helps Jason find Sheila #so much worse has happened since then and all that just magically became water under the bridge off-panel

saw a gamefuna gimmick blog use 'you'll get the lucky carder treatment' as a threat and i Will be incorporating this into my common vernacular thank you very much

#the cryptid speaks #inscryption #'i'll shoot you in the face' too direct; too easy to understand; a bit Much; not good for casual company #'you're going to get the lucky carder treatment' potential victim wont know what's coming; secretive and cool; use with anyone #(you're the only one who will understand what it means anyways) #i really need to finish my current inscryption re-play #i dont like seeing luke die but i Do like getting fucked up party style about his doomed narrative and 15 different kinds of symbolism

What do you think the former hashira were like? Cuz there has got to be at least one round where they’re mostly women, there has to be I refuse to believe it doesn’t exist

What other branches breathing forms were lost to time?

Did there once exist a water pillar with all the violent rage of an ocean storm balanced out by a more tempered and polite wind pillar (lesbian wives anyone?)

Just imagine somehow summoning their ghosts and they 1: looks oddly similar to giyuu and Sanemi and 2: are disgustingly in love with eachother (I just think it’s be funny

We’re their other breathing forms lost to time? We’re some rediscovered? Was there once anyone who held the same name as “insect” or “most” pillar but it branches off from a completely seperate breathing form? How were they different?

May I please see more thunder hashira please I just I want please the world building I must just the possibilities man

Who were the other pillars who fought alongside Urokodaki and Jigoro and presumably have passed? WHO WERE THEY

#kimetsu no yaiba #demon slayer #worldbuilding #giyuu tomioka #tomioka giyuu #shinazugawa sanemi #sanemi shinaguzawa #I just wanna know man #a bouncy excitable lightning hashira #a rain pillar? #a grass pillar? #how do they feel about their current successors? #there’s no photo evidence to every remmeber them by #only spoke of in almost mythical stories #between families and victims #do you think they’ve been forgotten? #I WANT UROKODAKI AND JIGORO TO HAVE FRIENDS #PLEASE #WHO WERE THEY #Thank you for coming to my evening thought dump
