#all those losses

[popchoc]

Victory stands on the back of sacrifice.

#i will always feel for her #and the f*cking price she had to pay for her predestination #all those losses #her childhood #her young natblida friends #costia #gustus #clarke at mount weather #she really never got to live for herself #not until her final hour... #sigh #lexa #commander lexa #clexa #clarke griffin #the 100 #my edit #my clexa edit #(no worries this didn't take me three whole days to make) #(it took me four)

on twitter, a viral thread started where people around the world shared their translations of “If I must die”, the last work of Dr Refaat Alareer also known as "the voice of Gaza". A beloved poet, teacher and life-long activist for Palestine, he was recently assassinated along with members of his extended family by a targeted Israeli air strike. His loss leaves a hole in the heart of palestinians all over the world.

Below the cut, I’ll be posting the translations of his poem, with links to the original posts. Unfortunately, tumblr limits posts to a maximum of 30 images. I will update when I can.

#probably one of the most beautiful threads to ever grace twitter's rotten husk of a platform #i really earnestly almost cried #when people say the world stands with palestine #they mean they speak with palestine as well #israel murders palestinian poets to silence their voice. their culture. their lifeblood #in response the world amplifies his voice tenfold #but what a loss #what an unforgivable loss #i hope it is some consolation to those who loved refaat that his words are now immortalised in languages all over the world #that he has united so many people in their pursuit of palestinian freedom #please please please feel free to add your own translations onto the post in reblogs #i just havent seen anything about this thread on tumblr yet #im just the messenger #palestine will be free #the words of refaat alareer will be immortalised #and his students will carry on his legacy #ah but it is almost 5am and i havent slept #when i wake up i will add more #free palestine #israel #refaat alareer #rest in peace

Good morning, Sleepyhead.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #'WWX was asleep for 4 days' is an incorrect factoid. #The average WWX sleeps for 8 hours. The PD-MDZS WWX who was asleep for 40 comics and 4 months is an outlier. #We are back to present day! I have missed drawing them! #Ah...the contrast between how the flashback ended (cold and distrustful) to how wwx wakes up (warm and watched over)... #The gap between the past and present is very important. Not just in this story but in our lives too. #The past can still hurt and it doesn't just go away with time as some say. It is the power of realizing that things have changed. #We can't get the good back. The bad memories have concluded. Those live somewhere else now. #It is hard to realize that you have to live for today and tomorrow. The past is so loud. #For WWX it is realizing that despite the mistrust in the past - He really does have faith that LWJ will be there for him. #It is the reflection of knowing that you changed and will keep changing and that change is good and kind sometimes. #But more importantly...and this I really do mean with all my heart: #It will all end up okay in the end. Even after the worst day. The most painful losses. You will get through it. #What feels like a breaking point is truthfully just another step you have to take. You'll get through it even though it feels like the end. #There are wonderful things you have yet to see. Friends you have yet to meet. #Even if it hurts so badly...one day it just aches. Someday you'll go a few weeks not remembering that it ever hurt. #Oh and because my izutsumi comic revealed many people were in need of hearing this: #You are loved. Right now. You are so loved right now. We just forget to tell each other that. #Go tell the people you love that they matter to you. I'm assigning you homework!!! You are graded on completion.

The more I think about it the more unhinged it is that Peeta's arms were better than sleeping pills for Katniss

#that's awfully romantic for a story that's allegedly not at all about romance #suzanne really went off with that one #the way katniss grieves this loss in mj too #those nights meant so much to her #everlark #the hunger games

do you consider your self made?

#my art #self portrait of sorts #been musing a lot on disability recently and how being relatively freshly unable to do Most Things has changed my perspective on things #for a long time growing up i was fixated on the idea of being An Impact On The World yknow? mainly the next Big Writer #(and that it would be sooo impressive that everyone would make my books bestsellers when i was only 12 because it was That Good) #and i mean. obviously that didnt work out as originally planned because i was 12 and learning. but I've felt a lot like #I've kind of built my sense of self on those big achievements. even if they were only big to me. and a lot of them #are now out of reach or very difficult to reach. and it's been a lot to. recontextualize #to take what ive been told my whole life and ignore it in favor of just being being enough. #things will happen as they happen. i havent earned anything by suffering but it hasnt ended the world either #im here doing what i Can do for as long as I'm able to do it. and thats all i need to be for now #just making sure that i Do do the things i can do rather than assume i can do them later #anyways. love you #cw: #top nudity #artistic nudity #the dreaded ambiguously presenting nipple #if you put any pro weight loss eating disorder shit on here ill kill you btw #my body is sexy because im in it and im still alive. not because its struggling to stay that way #lindwormposting

That other guy would fuck it up so that you made macaroons instead of macrons

They're approaching menacingly with a bag of shreaded coconut

now see that would be quite interesting, and definitely be making the most out of the use of time travel

also if someone goes that far, then they absolutely deserve the chance to ruin my macarons lol

#honestly they’d probably create an amazing new macaron-macaroon hybrid dessert and i’d be all for that #but it’s still be my dessert and i’d reserve the right to patent it…so go right ahead and ruin my macarons! lmaoo #i’ve made enough macarons in my life I could deal with the loss of these #ALSO- #fun fact- I once made macarons for almost 23 hours straight #I think I only took one or two breaks and only had one meal #I had to sit on a stool the last few hours because my legs were giving out #that is a legitimately true story #it was terrible #I forgot! I was also interviewed for a newspaper article during those 23 hours?? my boss kind of forced me to do it and the reporter late #*was late #but #she came in and distrusted my baking and took photos and delayed me even more lmao #ask #the hellsite answers #hellsite hall of fame curator’s bullshit

Something about Dani and Jamie, Bill and Frank, love stories cultivated in the heart of horror. Something about finding queer love, gay love, human and fallible and worth cupping hands around and protecting even in the darkest of times. Something about stumbling into your person when you least expect them, when your mind is fixed firmly on pain and survival, and letting their light open you up. Something about choosing to wake up every day and cherish this person, even when it’s hard, even when they’re being broken down right before your eyes. Something about saying “I am marrying you, not in the eyes of others, but in our hearts where it matters—legality be damned”.

Something about gay love being worth all the strawberries, all the moonflowers, all the persistence and the endings chosen on your own terms. Something about that hits me where it counts.

#the last of us #the last of us hbo #the last of us spoilers #the haunting of bly manor #dani x jamie #bill x frank #I’m out here having Feelings today lads #the soft warm heart at the center of a horrific story #all that tragedy. all that loss. all those things that should harden us—and these stories choose to give us kindness instead #right down to the parallel of protecting your person as best you can from things you can’t touch with your hands #it’s a kick in the teeth. I love. I love. I love.

SOMEbody failed his wisdom save to resist unlimited tadpole power, and that somebody is definitely my tav Mayhew. a WIP:

mindflayers are incredibly fun to draw fwiw, do recommend

#i don't usually do linework but it's super fun #the bg3 theme about loss of identity - often expressed through increasing monstrosity - is incredibly my jam #what if you can't make it through as the same person you began - literally? what if you save everyone and are made worse for it? #what if you're a liar and a cheat in a story where consequences are inevitable & inescapable? what if there are debts that always come due? #how much worse would you make yourself for love? for curiosity? for the sake of others who deserve better? for power? #mayhew's answer so far to all of those has been 'a lot worse' and consequences just came to call #bg3 #the emperor #bg3 emperor #mayhew #gnome tav #my art #me drawing: how buff can i make a tentacle. very buff? even buffer than that?

i think hardison would be in lost media recovery communities online but he’d also be trying his hardest to make all recordings of a certain country singer named "kenneth crane" become lost media, and feel really kinda bad about it

#alec hardison #leverage #wren speaks #leverageposting #a lot of lost media exists in random archives of tv studios or recording studios or whatever & well. he is uh… uniquely qualified to #‘liberate’ those pieces of media. either by hacking or by grifting & stealing etc. #i think he’d be emotional about the loss of art that people put lots of work into & which other people love and want to find #he has to prevent any copies of eliot’s singing from being publicly available tho bc it’s a major safety concern #oh and all the baseball games that roy harper played in. and that news report of eliot playing w dogs in san lorenzo #actually perhaps…. a lot of news programs in san lorenzo that featured the murdered first lady #i mean sophie is meant to be dead as of season 2. #and while shutting down eliot/kenneth crane fansites was mainly important while they were there bc location being given away #it’s also important that ppl can’t figure out who he’s working with now or the fact he’s definitely alive or that he’s working for a #good cause now etc etc. just makes him more vulnerable & there’s a lot of ppl who want him dead or want revenge

its so hard to watch time pass when things like careers and assignments exist. what do you mean im supposed to take that seriously

#I have an assignment that was due a week ago and I really really dont want to do it. I have to but i dont want to #im probably making it worse because my brain has built a wall around it so now i can’t do literally anything else until thats done. but #because I don’t want to do it I’m just kinda stuck. turns out this is what they meant when they said emotional regulation is part of #exec dysfunction.. I’ll have a thought like if I get a little bit of it done now i can get it over with. I can just submit something #and then not even 5 minutes later itll be like ugh but I have to draw all the assets out. I have to write things and make spreads ugh #and its just flopping between those two things. i hate it when ppl are like well how much time do you need to work on one thing #because BOY id love to know too. I’d love to know exactly when my brain wants to cooperate with me and work around that but I cant #even my period can’t decide when it wants to punch me in the stomach. which is kinda funny in the grand scheme of things but still #its so weird im just lying on my bed thinking abt all this like damn.. the time will pass anyways no matter what I decide to do.. damn…. #if I submit that assignment now and take the L I literally won’t die. it’ll just be a deduction on an assignment nobody will ask me about #I know this but I’m still stressing myself about it so my thoughts aren’t really connecting to my body. weird #maybe its because Im having a hard time looking forward to things. theres definitely a lot I should be living for but I don’t really feel #a strong attachment to it I guess? it’s been like this for a while with holidays and meeting with friends so I just don’t #I kinda figured its because im pretty passionless and its more like passing interest. but it’s not very fun when it feels like I’m going to #be living distraction to distraction for the next 70 years or so lol #idk it kind of feels like slowly bleeding out. which is funny because I actually did experience blood loss this week #had a 30 minute nosebleed and literally could not stand. also it felt like someone was pinching the back of my brain which was interesting #yapping #does this count as vent #vent #Ive just been making an oc carrd and contemplate changing my blog header for the past 3 days honestly

I genuinely believe Naksu haunts the narrative. Her actions and existence as Naksu heavily impact the entire story. Her past, the life she lived and the shadow of it in Mudeok. But we don't actually know any of it because Naksu is not in the story.

Like. What she lost as Cho Yeong is something that we are never allowed to forget, the loss of her body, her powers, her freedom, and her impending death as a soul shifter hangs over Mudeok's head like guillotine.

All the while we don't actually know the Shadow Assassin Naksu, she died in the first episode, as soon as the story began. Other than training and killing (soul shifters) what kind of person was she when she didn't have to rely on another person else or hide or live as someone else? We don't know and we don't ever learn any of that.

Still, her absence is the plot, yet her former existence as Naksu influences everything; Yul's actions and what she was to him, Jang Uk's goal of returning her powers, the revelation of soul shifters to Park Jin, Jang Gang's departure, Jin Mu's accomplishments, the King's Star even.

Everything is about her existence but she doesn't actually exist at all anymore.

#before anyone disagrees she declares naksu dead in ep 5 or something and tell yul the person he knew no longer exists in ep 19 #naksu is dead but the shadow of her hangs over everything #what could have been and what wasn't is mourned in nearly episode #alchemy of souls #also im not saying one life is better than the other but there is always this sense of loss in mudeok that is never forgotten by the story #SHE DESERVED TO LIVE AS HERSELF #Also for me its the tragedy of all of it that makes the show so good #like dont get me wrong im certifiably insane over the romance and would be very happy with the ending offered but even the then the best pa #*the happy ending offered in ep19 #is that #she escaped the circle of tragedy shes been trapped in #and has so many people that she loves and cares for now and how those ppl care for her just as much #this post is brought to you by: my mutual and i finally finishing our rewatch

I like to think that had the Marauder not blown up, Omega would have inherited the ship and used that to fly in the Rebellion

#marauder #i miss the marauder #an extra piece and reminder of her brothers while she’s off kicking ass and making them proud #all those flying lessons with tech #just because you gave them the happy ending they deserved #does not mean all is forgiven for the devastating loss of the marauder #tbb season 3 #the bad batch #tbb crosshair #tbb hunter #tbb echo #tbb omega #tbb wrecker #tbb tech

A critique I've seen of Suzume that drives me a little insane is like, people saying that the big dramatic "main" story was less interesting than the moments of mundane life where Suzume is just spending time with the strangers she meets on her journey bcs listen, those moments ARE the main story!! Those slice-of-life bits?? Where she's helping Chika's family around their bathhouse or babysitting Rumi's kids or complaining about Serizawa's road trip music?? THAT'S WHAT THE MOVIE IS ABOUT!! It isn't really about the magic or time travel or gods and demons, it's about beautiful, average people and their beautiful, average lives.

Suzume is a love letter to humanity. And every second that Suzume and Souta spend just doing normal things with the normal people around them is JUST as important to the story as the big, dramatic scenes where they're fighting to save the world. It's not fluff or filler, it's the thesis statement of the whole film. They felt important because they were!!

#sorry this movie actually is making me insane #suzume spoilers #suzume no tojimari #suzume no tojimari spoilers #spoilers #makoto shinkai #idk if this is like #lost on audiences these days bcs media has become like all action and drama #with little to no moments to just breathe and let the characters exist #but nah you were supposed to feel enchanted and drawn in by those moments because they were THE POINT #the film is about the beauty of everyday life #and mourning the loss of it in the face of disaster #and looking forward to finding it again when the worst is over #IT WAS THE POINT!!!
