Papa suffered in a binder under the humid sun for an hour at an outside festival but little boys get the fruit of my labor

Wei Wuxian eats a watermelon. Yep!

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #nothing out of the ordinary here. Just good fandom fun #Watermelon discourse has been going on and I want to let people know where I stand. #This came about because I wanted to experiment with translating the (traditional) PD-MDZS style to a digital format #and while sitting there thinking of what to draw...my inspiration came to me. #This is the equivalent of sneaking vegetables into the spaghetti sauce but its important to get your gotdamn veggies #I'm not very good at organizing my thoughts (evidence: the tags of every post on this blog). #but please do not look away from this moment in history. One person cannot solve it and no one expects you to. #Even if it is just spending time doing some research on the situation and history. Or boosting posts that are more articulate #Any action helps! ANY action! Everyone has a different level of capacity for this and that's okay. Anything is fine. Dont let it be nothing #Anyhow. did I like doing this digitally? Yes but its mixed. It was faster but also spark the same joy I usually get while drawing #I will have to get over it very quickly though. You will all see why in a few days

I went to an Ilan Pappé talk yesterdays - I really recommend his books if you've not checked them out already. He's arguably one of the worlds leading experts on Zionism and the "Israel"-Palestine conflict, so obviously everything he said was great, but what I want to highlight:

Someone asked him if he thought the protests and petitions and calling you reps and shit would work, and he said no, it never will. It's still important to do that but the powerful will never surrender their power to the powerless just because they ask for it. Asking the UK and the US to cut ties with their imperial outpost in the Middle East is like asking an animal to gnaw off it's own limb - it won't do it unless its only other choice is dying completely.

So who does have the power to put a stop to this, we asked. The working class of the imperial core. That's us, and we are the most powerful people in the world right now, because this war machine can't function without us. Movements like this can only be built from the ground up, so stop looking to the government and start looking to your community. We need to make it more unprofitable to support Israel than it is to cut ties with it.

This is a call to action. The people HAVE the power, and we have to use it. Yes, that's you. Contact your trade union, your workplace, your school, your church, your university. Your friends, family, any connections you have. As many people on board as possible, with one goal: shut it down. Take direct action now.

#were seeing this all over the world so i know we know all this but it bears repeating #stop lamenting on how you wish you could do more. you can #the power is with you #we have to stop begging the government and take it into our own hands #idk we could do so much more #your voice matters it really reallt does #also don't let yourself get distracted #i keep seeing that thing w the watermelon filter on tiktok that apparently raises money #and like sure do that if u have a second #but it isn't really helping palestine because none of that money is getting through #its just another thing keeping you distracted #idk man #ill make a post more abt direct action and shit and what you can do in your community #and what to push for in your school uni ect #anyway yeah #palestine #gaza #israel #free palestine #ilan pappe #mine

Screw the ghost shit, this is the biggest mystery in HGSN. If Chapter 22 doesn’t open with a full telling of Yoshiki’s tragic backstory: the birthday party where he received 11 copies of the same book from 11 different people, then idk if I can continue reading…

#For clarity I am joking #But we do know he has relatives that live close enough nearby to give him a watermelon and have it not be bad by the time it gets there #I’m assuming they’re on his dad’s side since… mom from tokyo #And then I’m also guessing that’s where Yoshiki’s dad stays so it’d explain why Yoshiki never goes and sees them or thinks about them #Every one of my posts is some rambling bullshit and then the real post is in the tags… should I separate some of these into actual posts? #Nah that seems like effort #Also that relatives thing is only in the official translation. Not the one you’ll find online #So idk how we as a fandom have decided to treat the canonness of those translations #the summer hikaru died #hikaru ga shinda natsu #hgsn #My hgsn shit

#both have their strengths and weakness but I cherish them all the same #also where is everyone getting that adrien is an alpha male in the movie? #I mean yeah he said that mari was weird when he met her but later on when looking at her notebook and talking to her about his mother its #clear that he'd grown to respect her as a friend #and chat noir calling ladybug a watermelon and sidekick? that was literally him a dumbass and later accepts that he fits the role of the #sidekick instead #miraculous ladybug #ml awakening #ml movie #miraculous movie #marinette dupain chang #ladybug #adrien agreste #chat noir #adrienette #marichat #ladrien #ladynoir #dragon rambles

If Steven kissed an unfertilized chicken egg could he make it hatch yes or no

#continuing to torment people about his powers #he got watermelon and pumpkin seeds to spontaneously germinate #he's alived a cactus #Could He Make The Chicken Real. #also would it look like him by default? or could he still get it to be a normal chick #if he just thinks about what they look like while he does it #scribs.txt #scribble shenanigans #rest assured I have today and tomorrow off and am making it everyone's problem

It makes me so sad that eun yu gets so much hate. I feel like people don't give her the grace they give the other characters, which is so unfair because she's also just a teenager! She's traumatized and trying to make sense of her reality and past just like the rest of them, but because she hides behind a bubbly and easygoing facade people are way too willing to call her annoying (there's also the fact that she's similar to yichan in some ways, and yichan makes TONS of stupid mistakes as well but doesn't get treated the same way).

I for one have a special spot in my heart for characters that are depressed and struggling but shine so, so brightly for their friends. Yes, when she's unaware of something she gets in the way of 'plot' but she's also a supportive friend? I can never understand why people complain about characters acting like the person they're set up to be, just because it doesn't go along with the 'plot' they want to happen.

She's blunt, confident, a bit cheeky, but she also has so many insecurities and flaws. She's not perfect, and I love her for that. We need more female characters that are messy and complex and not just the typical personality types we usually see. Her and eungyeol clearly come from very different upbringings and have different worldviews so seeing them collide was such a delight. Seeing them completely fluster and challenge each other and then grow from that is why their romance really worked for me.

I wish we had more female leads like eun yu!!! She's such a sweetheart!!! I need more female leads that are sources of chaos!!!!

#twinkling watermelon #rambles #seol in ah #on eun yu #kdrama #i love her!!! #i will not stand for on eun yu hate!!! #like let's be real yichan (who i love don't get me wrong) also did plenty of stupid shit but people only seemed to get mad at eun yu #she's also just a kid!! they're all kids let them be stupid and make mistakes from time to time! #i thought the message of the show was literally about learning to enjoy your youth!!!

Conflicted on Jee holding Zuko back because on one hand I know Zuko would be in a lot more trouble if he killed him, but on the other hand it would’ve been funny if he bashed his head in like a watermelon

Also Iroh is getting some deep confirmations on his zukka suspicions. We love to see it

(Also also Bato x Jee? In a fantastic long fic? It’s more likely than you think)

Nothing would bring me more joy than to let Zuko smash that guys head in watermelon style…

but I do think for mental health reasons & political reasons it’s good that was not allowed to happen. We know from canon zukos got some serious leg power… & yeah…. Good job Jee sorry about your nose.

#could Zuko be considered a wingman since it was him smashing Jees not that lead to Batos hands all over his face? #*nose #are we getting a side slow burn on the side of a SLOW BURN?!?! #jk I doubt bato and jee are a slow burn #both those men are already wound up #hahaha idk I’m excited about our DILF crew #a group of men who are already over it #& somehow all became slightly responsible for zukka #iroh might also be getting closer to figuring things out… #master tactician can’t see gay five feet in front of him #or he just chooses to ignore it haha #idk I’m excited about the next four five chapter because it’ll be a lot of fun #before I blow everything up #anywayyyy thanks anon #sorry I sat on this ask for a month!! #tw exploding watermelon #tw explosion #<- just making sure #liab #itf #ask

I may not be able to stay home from school for an entire week, but you know what I am going to do?

I'm not going to buy from major brands.

I'm not going to scroll away from Palestinian content and voices.

I'll NEVER break the damn boycott.

I'll learn even more about the conflict than I already do.

I'll listen to Palestinians when they tell me what to boycott.

I'll uplift content creators supporting Palestine.

I'll never stop talking about Palestine, no matter how "uncomfortable" it makes people.

You should be uncomfortable with the fact that thousands of generations are dying and yet you're whining because you can't go a single day without your "starbies". You should be uncomfortable seeing poor women, mothers, grandmothers, daughters, wives, grieving the loss of their innocent babies, husbands, friends, and family.

January 21st - January 28th 2024.

#also!! boycott fatigue isnt real. touch some fucking grass. #this also isnt a safe space for you to be antisemitic. i see that too much. #not every isreali is murdering innocent people #free palestine #🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉 #🍉🍉🍉🍉 #🍉 #watermelon 🍉 #🇵🇸🍉 #🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 #i stand with palestine 🇵🇸 #if you stand with isreal get rhe FUCK OFF MY PAGE THIS IS NOT A SAFE SOACE FOR YOU SICKOS.

i wish steven universe went more into the watermelon stevens (said no one ever, but hear me out!) i wish they went more into how steven made a whole society and abandoned them, just like the diamonds do, just like rose did. and how it demonstrates that having such immense powers very easily leads to a disregard for life.

#steven universe #revisiting them in future would’ve been perfect! this is like #the most diamond thing he’s ever done #(though technically they did it with cactus steven but the watermelons are a whole group!!) #and now he’s left them behind and they absolutely idolize him #there’s so much wrapped up in the watermelon stevens you can go on forever #i wish more people would see escapism for the great episode it is because of this!! #but they are vessels for an infinite amount of topics #in escapism it’s how arguing about methodology (pacifism? violence?) truly does not matter to steven at this point #he’s about to face WHITE DIAMOND and he /could/ debate over whether he should ‘kill her’ or not (ugh) #but what matters most is getting the job done #and in change your mind’s case that was achieved through… changing your mind! #i also love the idea that the watermelon stevens tell the story of gemkind as a whole #steven banishes them to their own business and gives them one parting message #one goal to achieve #(to understand baby melon’s actions) #what if that’s what happened to the gems? they were made once but then abandoned with only one goal implanted in their minds #to carry out forever and ever? #(make more gems) #ohhh gems-as-robots framing how i love you so much #also just to toss that in here it’s fun to think abt the watermelons as an invasive species (which is steven’s va zach’s interpretation) #just like how the gems are invasive to earth!
