#a support group maybe

[sharedshield]

Okay, I need to go back to the Secret Santa vid real quick-

So, we know that either Lance himself is a great gift giver himself or the person on the team prepping it for him does a great job.

But Fernando's guesses for the person gifting him the El Capitán hat were Valterri and George? As people who know he's bought a boat in summer? Huh? Like, the combination of Val and Fernando, I have literally never EVER connected them, ever. Why does Val know about it? Did they meet really early when Val was going on a ride and Nando went down to the harbor? Do they talk?

And THEN George! Is there more to the pics from NYE 2022? Is this a regular thing, do they meet up? Are they scheming? Has it something to do with Carmen, do they get along?

While typing this I have figured out one thing they have in common: They all are/were Lewis' teammates at one point. Do with that what you will

#is there a club #a support group maybe #are jenson and nico in there as well #do they meet up in monaco and nando showed them his boat #this will become my roman empire thank you very much #fa14 #vb77 #gr63 #fernando alonso #secret santa #f1

ok I'm not an expert but I'm not seeing much specific info going around here, and there's a lotta Palestine solidarity protests in the UK this weekend, so here is some (including UK-specific) protest info and resources (mostly pulled whole-cloth from Twitter)

policing is heavy at Palestine protests generally

Hamas is a proscribed org under UK law. that means "inviting support" for them or "wearing clothing or displaying articles" that implies you are a supporter is a criminal offence (if you're interested, here's the full list of criminal offences from gov.uk). Palestinian flags etc are ok*, but do not have something that could be mistaken for Hamas imagery. don't go out there looking for convictions pls.

*in spite of what Suella Braverman has implied, the London Muslim Community Forum has just confirmed that the Palestinian flag is not a proscribed flag and is not banned (apologies for quoting the "we advise the met police" group but I thought it was important to have that info explicitly)

don't talk to cops. that includes the police liasion officers in blue bibs.

particularly if you're concerned about your face ending up on social media etc, but also just good practice in general (both in terms of COVID and protest safety)—mask up. cover up tattoos etc.

have bustcards or contact details for protest legal support on you. Green and Black Cross can be contacted on 07946 541 511. write the number on your arm etc.

if you witness an arrest: check if there's a legal observer nearby and if so call them over; if not: if the arrestee doesn't have a bustcard, give them one, find out where they're being taken, and contact eg GBC or a protest support line

if you have the time and can help out, there will likely be arrestee support required after—GBC tend to post callouts on Twitter for this

other links

for particularly children and young people and their families being referred to PREVENT for pro-Palestine statements, contact PREVENTWatch and maybe also Palestine in School (newer initiative I think, I don't have an excessive amount of detail on them just FYI)

Liberty, Migrants Organise and Black Protest Legal Support have bustcards in different languages, including Arabic and Somali (also Liberty's website has lotsa useful info, including advice for disabled protesters, protesting and immigration status, and what to do if you're kettled)

GBC's thread on what to do if you see an arrest is useful, as are all their resources generally

if I've missed anything or made a mistake, lmk—as I said, I am very much not an expert. if you know people who are protesting, pass them the legal support line numbers; if you're attending, stay safe and be vigilant; and ofc carry water.

#palestine #current events #organising #acab #text post #my post #if there is a better post that i haven't seen with up to date uk info pls lmk and i will gladly reblog it #but i know there's ppl on here who aren't on twitter so #also #in my experience #palestine protests both bring out a large group of ppl who maybe have not been to as many 'spiky' protests or don't have #up to date support numbers etc #and bring out people who are targeted by the police bc of race immigration status being perceived as muslim etc #and like i do think the profile of protest safety is higher and people are more aware than they were in general in say 2019 #but i still don't think it's as high as it should be #so like #it's worth sharing and passing around #but again i am so much not an expert #this is all taken from people whose jobs is supporting folks who are protesting #please go look them up read their info share their bustcards etc #know your rights #don't talk to cops #no comment no caution no personal details etc

Based on a real group chat convo (I was Jingyi)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #jin ling #lan jingyi #lan sizhui #bonus comic #ok in my defense I was late to the convo *and* they were posting pictures of the elements (both rocks/metals!!) #my brain saw it and went “oh!! cool rocks!! I wanna pick my favourite too”. Little did I know the pie was rapidly approaching my face. #I like to think this trio makes up fun little codenames for missions. because it’s fun. #In the end they made him choose one of the elements that started with A so they could be ABC #what is the point of a group chat if*not* to set a theme and become a different power trio each month? #these three personalities in a group chat with nickname power would be chaos to watch tbh....its what they deserve #shout out to the besties who let me turn our group chat shenanigans into a comic. #they dont understand mdzs but they support my enthusiasm. #gonna put this one after the basketball comic so we go from 'balling' to 'getting dunked on' #I have elemental codenames for a good chunk of the mdzs cast but I'd love to hear other ppl's thoughts too B*) come on fellow science nerds #Maybe even tell me *your* elemental code name! For the fun of it

what if we all loved each other. Across time, across space. Even when you all have gone through the things I never wished you to. Even when you've changed in ways that those I knew haven't.

But I still love you. I love you. I always will love you.

Even if you did awful things, I forgive you. I understand.

Hello trolls nation, I bestow you a John Dory AU.

Neverglade Memoir: The AU where JD is dead in the wilderness

There is a particular secret John Dory has never revealed. Seven years before BroZone reunion, John Dory was caught in a fatal accident during his time in the Neverglade Trails. He was revived after gaining favors from the gods thanks to his travel companion Rhonda.

//Troll nudity

More information below

- He has definitely caused some terror for some unfortunate trolls

- He vaguely heard grandma Rosiepuff's voiced before his revival

- He still believed his brothers are dead when he died, so he was a little confused why he's alive again but he's not going to argue with a god

#trolls #dreamworks trolls #john dory #trolls john dory #trolls au #Neverglade Memoir AU #Oh look another John Dory for the support group /hj (maybe dkbsmskdb) #No he does not float canonically #I just needed a pose #The first concept was a little different from what I got here #Eniwei #Hi trolls fandom

Okay but Jere is very competitive, right? What if he's getting addicted to expanding his boyfriend pokedex? Coming for the really famous guys... hockey legends, presidents, national award athletes, etc etc... That cosy slotting into an armpit and direct eye contact might be intentional idk. Maybe he's doing a checkmark in his mind ✅️

Maybe he also asked Bojan for flirting tips and now Bojči is biting his nails because he misunderstood the intention..

#käärijä #boyfriend pokedex #I don't know where I'm going with this #or maybe that's just Jere's natural state and he can't fight his instincts at all #sad bojere bitches support group

I know in your Red Knight AU, Jason when on the rampage in another realm, after finding out that Batman replace him with another Robin.

Did Danny manage to be there for him during that time?

He did! Danny was always there for Jason. He actually wanted to chase after Jason immediately, but luckily, the first thing he did was panic call Jazz, absolutely out of his mind. Jazz promptly told Danny to let Jason have some space for a little bit to process.

Which was for the best, really. Jason needed to not feel like he was trapped and that he could be angry. He never really got that before. But the most important thing is Danny came after him and brought him home. Jason needed to feel like he could be angry, but also, like his anger wouldn't mean he'd be punished or abandoned. It was a very delicate time for him, but Danny, Jazz, Sam, Tucker, and all our favorite ghosts made sure Jason knew he was very much wanted still. And that he was utterly irreplaceable.

Skulker handled this by breaking all of his weapons and suits overnight and saying he didn't know how to fix them. (Jason very much knew what he was doing, but the time spent on fixing things helped ground him)

Ember handled this by announcing that she couldn't possibly ever sing ever again unless her only other band member was there (Still very obvious, but music time with Ember usually devolved into very necessary crying time. A lot of ice cream was consumed)

Johnny and Kitty handled this by getting into a MASSIVE fight and refusing to speak to each other unless Jason mediated. (This actually was far less obvious, as the two tend to get into fights often. No one is actually certain if the fight was fake or not to this day, but they also haven't broken up once since and Jason is incredibly proud of that)

Fright Knight handled this by.... well, actually, he took the blunt approach and told Jason there was no one in any realm dead or alive he'd ever consider worthy to be his apprentice besides Jason. (This was highly effective as Frighty has always been bluntly honest with Jason. He didn't wholly believe it but it was a comfort. Frighty then beat his ass in a spar and he didn't think of much else)

Basically, everyone was there for Jason. Not just Danny. Jason was made to feel like his anger and hurt were valid, because they were. But he was also not just told, but shown how precious he was to every life he touched. He didn't get it, not at first and he struggled to really believe it.

It wasn't until later, after Danny opened up more about his own trauma and the effects it had on him that Jason actually began to somewhat understand more of what Jazz meant when she said Danny was getting better. He pieced more of the story together from the others to paint a better picture, and that's when it clicked for him. As much as he needed Danny, Danny had needed him just as much. (Clockwork may have had a hand in this as well, but whatever those two talked about, no one will ever know)

Also, as an aside, once everything calmed down, Danny was very pleased to learn the rebelling realm was now back under control and quite terrified of the Ghost King and his Knight. It saved him so much paperwork.

So yeah, this was a bit all over the place, but hopefully, it answers your question. Team Phantom and the ghosts are basically a very large family, and they might fight and bicker, but they seriously pull through and muster together if anyone is hurting. They're a bit clumsy sometimes with it, but the love they all feel is very obvious. I really, really wanted to give Jason a much more healthy origin story into becoming Red Hood than he got in canon. The poor boy went through enough. It was past time for him to get to heal.

Jason still has some hangups. His abandonment issues are still there, and his fear of rejection. But it's not as bad as it was, and because he'd been allowed to express his anger without being punished(or enabled, anger is a fine emotion to feel. But you should never let it consume you) for it, he figured out how to manage it.

He might still slip now, and then, he has trauma, and that won't go away. But Danny will never, ever let him fall. Neither will the rest of the weird little eclectic family they've built.

#zee answers #this is barely coherent because im at *checks watch* 25~27 hours no sleep? maybe? im loopy #sorry if this was insanity #just wanted to make it clear that Jason was never left to deal with anything alone #he always ALWAYS had support #a massive support system actually like you cannot possibly stay feeling bad when you have like 20 people determined to make you feel better #and i want to make it clear that Jason's anger was never seen as a bad thing to the group because its NOT #and how can you learn to manage an emotion youve never been allowed to properly express before? you cant #so Jason got to learn that too. and he learned the best ways for HIM to handle his anger between all the ghosts trying to help #this fic began because i just wanted fluff and nice things for Jason because I love him and he deserved so much better than canon ever gave #so of course Jason got support and love and everything he needed to feel secure and safe #this is at its bones a fluffy AU #dp x dc #danny phantom #dc x dp #dpxdc #dp x dc crossover #the king and his red knight #the king and his red knight au #tkahrk #tkahrk au #danny phantom crossover #halfa jason todd #Jason Todd #jason todd/danny phantom #jason todd x danny fenton #jason todd/danny fenton

Review: Pretty good! Glad I finished it - hadn’t read a real book in… quite a while and almost stopped a hundred pages in, but it got more engaging the more I read. More of a mystery than I expected, but a well-written one!

Thanks to Hbomberguy for letting me know it existed, to the public library for having the ebook, and I guess to James Somerton for planning to plagiarize it and not getting around to it

i’ve been meant to talk about this but a lot twt stans have been agreeing to this which is we should boycott hybe fully and genuinely! they openly work with zionists (here's a thread that explains more about scooter braun and why you should boycott) and according to what i just saw… apparently yoongi’s movie is gonna have a screening in isnotreal and even after all the protests trucks and hashtags and emails that have been sent to this company this past few months, it’s clear they don't care about what we have to say and so, as much as we all want to support our faves, we have to make this company's pockets hurt. by that i mean, not buying albums or merch or stream music from their groups until something is done! unfortunately, these companies only gaf if money is not put in their pockets! so please download music listen to music illegally wtv you need to do we need to unite this time to make them open their eyes and realize we do not stand for this

#this post is very much a summary #but i've been seeing more posts about it lately #and especially a lot of armys on twt have talked about how #they are taking action with this yoongi movie situation #if you support any hybe group you should do the same #it's clear as day that adding this screening date to that place #they don't care and will continue when something is not done #this has been going on twt and we tried to boycott last time #and yes 100% this is not organized but i just want you #to see these things and maybe rethink whether or not #you wanna support hybe in any way #and i'm hoping you think you don't want to #this should be a big movement and i think we all agree #that we don't wanna support groups especially knowing they work with zionists #and that said money might go to supporting that place and zionist institutions #so please PLEASE join this #boycotts are supposed to disturb your daily life and it's supposed to be #'uncomfortable' for you #we have to think that in the long run this is for something bigger than us #and our faves and kpop #so i'm genuinely asking to please participate and spread the word #tris.txt

honestly if youre surprised at Ukraine supporting Israel idek what you think is going on in the world rn

#the english-language ukr telegram groups seem to be abt 50-50 shocked that ppl would support israel #ukr language ones maybe 10% shocked

[taravangians-storming-balls]

a moash trait I don't really hear people talk about is how much the guy will just. ask questions.

he's confused on why kaladin picked him to be a subsquad leader when he had been most vocally resistant to kaladin? he stops and asks him immediately. rock's story doesn't make sense to him? he interrupts to ask about it. fused are acting weird? he just walks up and asks to see a supervisor. dude will always stop to ask questions if something is confusing to him

#maybe this is just a consequence of not having many lines in text and just being a supporting character for the first half of the series #but I like this about him #when he asks about sah's group he even thinks that 'he doesnt expect an answer' and yet he asks anyways #when kaladin asks moash why he obeys him if moash doesnt trust him moash says 'guess im curious' and yeah #you sure are buddy #stormlight archive #moash #oathbringer spoilers #my-storming-posts #moash stormlight

I'm also getting tired of the negative Bloodweave discourse on Discord again.

They have a lot more going on than just being "sassy at each other". They work just as well as they do with other characters.

Sorry, I am just salty that certain people keep moralising against Bloodweave. Not everyone has to like the ship. But it is just as valid as the others, and all origins can be romanced with each other.

I wish we could stop with the X ship, which is better than Y ship because XXX discourse. Or people only ship them together because XXX commentary.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I love this part of the BG3 community. I am thankful for those who are collecting Bloodweave archives!

Long may we all continue obsessing over these two nerds (affectionate) 💖

#bloodweave #Maybe I am old but I am so tired of people OTP'ing their ship and saying the other is just smashing Barbies together #The popular ship does not need to be torn down to support another #Also often people ship characters together because they find something their and like the appeal #mini rant #It's usually one group who have this ship bias as well #Or people just like to be contrarian #I don’t particularly hate any origin x origin ship #dotw original #bloodweave discussion

I'm so curious about your thoughts on soulmate au's those are such a guilty pleasure, especially the creative ones

I love soulmate au's so much, omg. It's pathetic, but I like the idea of two people being meant for each other and always drawn to each other.

I think it makes for some excellent world building as well, my favorite ones are where you have romantic and platonic soulmates and it shows. I read a botw one where Link had colored hand marks on him from each of the champions because they were all soulmates as well.

It also is interesting from like a societal standpoint, because if the knowledge that soulmates exist and are accepted widely is true in some of these au's, how does culture and stuff change with that mindset? Are non-soulmate parings shunned at? Is it common to find your soulmate, or is it rare? If it's common, are there like classes or industries dedicated to people finding their soulmates? If it's rare, how do you cope if you have a partner and then find a soulmate? Are you instinctually drawn to the other person or is it just a case of the universe connected you so figure it out?

That, but how does soulmate au's translate into different cultural settings? Especially ones with arrange marriages as the norm. What about a individualistic vs. collectivist culture? Are all cultures expected to now change because of the introduction of soulmates? Are things like interracial, different caste, or queer relationships no longer considered taboo in some places because of soulmates, or are they still looked down on? And then it can also lead to questions about expectations.

If your soulmate is a bad person, such as a violent criminal, are you expected to stand by their side? What if they're like, a fascist??? A dictator??? What if they abuse you, are you expected to stay by their side because "you're soulmates", or can you leave? Are you shunned by society now if you do???

Uggggh there's so much to ask and think about and I love it, but also very simple "we're just meant to be" stories slap too.

#mochi asks #can you tell ive thought about this a lot? #what if people don't ever find their soulmates (maybe they died young) are they pitied or looked down on? #are there support groups for people without soulmates??? #adlkjfalkklagklg #soulmate au

Zionists will claim they stand with the innocent people on all sides and then their posts about Palestine are limited to condemning Hamas, talking about antiZionism being antisemitic, labelling all Palestinian men rapists and murderers, talking about how ‘actually’ evil Iran Russia Lebanon/Syria China Iraq Yemeni ‘regimes’ are, why segregated laws and regions and settlements across Palestine are Necessary Actually, why no one who doesn’t know about every single historical event in two continents shouldn’t stand in solidarity with Palestine, saying other countries should just take in the remaining Palestinians as refugees, saying Hamas could stop the killing of civilians anytime, saying Palestinians aren’t innocent because they don’t appreciate occupation, explaining why ‘Israel’ is ‘actually good’, saying that no one understands ‘buzzwords’ like ‘Zionism’, ‘genocide’, ‘apartheid’, ‘racism’, ‘innocent’, saying Arabic words make them uncomfortable, acting like Oct 7 was an isolated event or that the attack was nothing more than a continuation of thousands of years of hate for Jewish people, saying that speaking out for the injustice and genocide in Palestine and not every other specific form of injustice happening in the world means you don’t care about helping people but actually just hate Jews, asking where the Jews will go as if the only natural choices would be getting expelled or genocide, proudly equating a genocidal ethnostate and sociopolitical movement with Judaism, etc.

#it’s all rubbish #I hope everyone that is resisting oppression or is a victim of oppression is victorious in their fight #Palestine #I hope every IOF soldier and armed settler with the intention to kill innocents combusts on the spot #I hope every IOF soldier and armed settler with the intention to harm innocents in any way implodes #(definition of innocent withheld to standards different to what Zionists believe of course since mere existence can be a sin to them) #I hope every person who aligns with IOF soldiers and armed settlers and what Zionism as a whole stands for implodes #and the same for anyone who knowingly stands with and supports oppression be it on their own or another group of people #because if you are aware of what doing that means then maybe the world would be better that way
