I don’t think most non-Jews understand how disappointed we are in the left right now. How completely abandoned we’ve become. How our contributions to progress for other groups have been erased or disavowed or hidden. How the actual tangible things that Jews have contributed to black rights and civil rights are being ignored. How we’re being told we contribute and have contributed nothing.

How we are being told that the world has been kind to us when it never has. As if my mom didn’t grow up getting called a Kike and getting beat up for being Jewish. How I thought I had friends until I caught them saying “xyz was beautiful until Jews showed up.” How people told me I was pretty “for a Jew.” How I grew up hearing stories about bombs being set off in Israel in buses and markets. How I couldn’t even go two weeks without hearing that and how nobody cared and somehow, every time that happened, the whole world became more hostile to me for some reason.

I just don’t understand. I don’t understand what leftists are doing. Or why. I hate that I have to say—of course, I support a free and self determined Palestine (which I truly do)—in order for you to decide I’m worthy of care and support.

We showed up for you. All of you. And the entire movement is abandoning us at best or targeting us at worst. Celebrating our deaths. Saying we deserved it. How are we supposed to trust you ever again? How are we supposed to feel safe ever again?

A very few select people who are in my life have taken the chance to actually learn about and dismantle their own unconscious antisemitism during this time. And I’m eternally grateful for them. But most people haven’t reached out at all. Most people are still sharing hateful things that could get me hurt and they don’t care. Most people Reblogging my posts are still Jews. Because we are alone. And it sucks. You need to be as loud about antisemitism as you are about Palestine or you’re an antisemite (unless you’re Arab/Muslim/Palestinian—I totally get that these groups are also doing damage control in their own communities just like Jews are).

But we are all in tremendous pain right now.

This moment will pass. And when it does, I will remember how many people let me down. I will remember that when I needed support more than I’ve ever needed it in my life, people fucking vanished. They pretended violence against my people wasn’t happening. They ignored and rewrote the history of Israel to suit their own narratives.

You don’t know what it feels like to be hated this much for opposite things. PoC hate us for being too white. White supremacists hate us for not being white enough. Europeans hate us for being middle eastern. Middle easterners hate us for being western/European. Everyone hates us for being settlers but continually kicks us out of their countries so that we have to settle somewhere else.

I saw a post going around from a Black person who said that the reason he and his fellow black activists go protest for Palestinians instead of fighting antisemitism (as if it’s a binary, which it’s not) is that Jews don’t show up. Muslims and Palestinians do. And honestly? Fuck that guy. Heather Heyer died standing shoulder to shoulder against racism in 2017. [CORRECTION: When I first wrote this post I was under the impression that Heather Heyer was Jewish. I want to correct to avoid spreading misinfo. She was just the first (and incorrect) Jewish civil rights activist I thought of. However there are plenty of other actual Jewish civil rights activists to choose from. If you have reblogged this post from me, please feel free to add a link to the permalink version of this post with my correction to your reblog.]I have devoted substantial time and effort and money that I don’t even get paid a lot of because I don’t get paid a living wage. I have continually reached out to PoC people in my life of all religions to ask how they are doing and what I could be doing to help more—both for them personally and how they would best like me to help their community. I have elevated their voices at every opportunity. And not one person I checked in with has done the same for me or for my community.

And it’s bone chilling. It’s awful. And it’s even worse knowing that when it’s over, people will want to go back to normal. They won’t apologize. They won’t self reflect. They’ll just live their lives, maybe a little more aware of how much they hate us and completely indifferent to the harm they’ve caused us. How disposable they made us feel. And the thing is…it’s not hard for you to know. You just have to ask.

Too many people are cowards. Too many people care about looking good than actually learning something or making the world better. And to those people: you should be ashamed of yourself.

I don’t have any hate in my heart. Truly. Not a drop for any group of people. But I have a tremendous lack of trust that anyone would actually lift a finger to keep me safe.

first three studies in egg tempera ! using pigments available in the medieval era (except for titanium white)

top is a study of a miniature from Christine de Pisan's Épître d'Othea, bottom left is a loose crosshatching study based on this Mary Herbert painting, bottom right is based on this photograph

#technically the top one isn't finished but the sun was heating my room really intensely yesterday and the tempera curdled !! #spent soooo long colour correcting this scan...still not perfect but pretty close to the real colours ! #the bottom left colours are slightly softer and more pastel maybe? but the hues are p close :^) v happy with those malachite greens #maker's diary #journals and sketchbooks #egg tempera #laurus

Think I’m making communication a non-negotiable for 2024. If you don’t know how to properly communicate like an adult we quite literally can’t be friends

#I’m not trying to be a bitch like I get that this is hard for lots of people for various reasons #i think I’m just at a point where I want people to come correct instead of waiting for them to potentially get better #only for me to learn in the harshest way that they’re only getting worse #I’m not gonna be ur practice run this year. come when ur ready #the moment I sense someone isn’t saying what they mean it’s so over. like I’m flexible on so many flaws but NOT this one. communicate !!! #the people pleasing is literally kicking in rn but I’m just trying to be honest w myself about what my capacity can handle at the moment #and I’m genuinely at my wits’ end when it comes to communication. so I don’t think I’d be the best person for people like that #is this mean?? this feels like a fair boundary to make #p

so I started playing the new Frontiers of Pandora game last night, and was pleasantly surprised that not only did the opening cutscene feature a few lines of spoken Na'vi dialogue, but said dialogue was actually pretty accurate!! Good job game!!

Here’s the lines transcribed as far as I can tell:

Aha'ri: Plltxe po nìtsleng! He speaks falsely/he lies! Player: Ma tsmuke, ftang! Sister, stop!

-

Aha'ri: Ma Nor? Ma Nor, tìtxen si. Awnga ngahu, tam. Nor? Nor, wake up. We [are] with you, it’s ok. Nor: Tsat oel uniltsola nìmun…tsatxon a fol awngat kämolunge. I dreamed about it again…that night they took us.

-

Aha'ri: Awnga kä ne kelku! We go home! Player: Za'u, ma Teylan. Oeng kivä ne kelku. Come, Teylan. We [may] go home.

#lì'fya lena'vi #frontiers of pandora #there was one spot where I initially thought might be a mistake #aha'ri says the “we’re going home” line a couple of times #and one of the times she says it in English to Mercer and then repeats it in Na'vi #at first I thought she was still talking to Mercer in which case it should’ve been “ayoe” instead of “awnga” #cuz “awnga” would imply that Mercer is “going home” with them which….yeah no lol ^^; #but upon further reflection I think the intention was that she’s addressing Mercer in English #and then switches to addressing her friends in Na'vi #in which case “awnga” would indeed be correct #they did also get the awnga vs oeng distinction right so good job!! #(awnga being “we” as in a group of 4+ people vs oeng being “we” as in only the speaker and listener (in this case the player and Teylan)) #on a side note Alma sounds like she’s coughing every time she says Aha'ri’s name :P #welp at least she’s making an effort

I cannot stop thinking about these Niki pictures

Hate to burst anyone's bubble but I don't think L would've revealed his face to Light if the latter wasn't Kira. The Kira case was the only case in which L shows his identity to anyone besides Watari because it's the first time he (and his authority) has been challenged like this (with the majority of the Japanese task force leaving since they can't trust L coz of the FBI incident).

If Light weren't Kira and went on to become an NPA officer like his father, he might work with L on some cases together but that doesn't mean L would've revealed his identity to him, however intelligent this particular NPA officer may be.

Like I ship Lawlight very much and I'm not (in this post, that is) referring to anyone exploring the idea of non-Kira!Light with L in their AUs as bad (I like those AUs too), but let's remember that it wouldn't be plausible if we're going by canon. Even if Ohba said somewhere that they'd work together if Light weren't Kira, I'm sure he didn't mean working together as in face-to-face.

#that doesn't stop Light from being L's most favorite detective in the NPA tho #but i doubt that L would show his face to him just because Light's a genius like him #again i am not attacking anyone loving the idea of non-kira!Light & L working together (i'm one of those people; hi) and #reading (hello again) or writing about it in AUs #but that's not canonically plausible? #i can only think of one scenario where it's plausible #it's when L & non-Kira!Light are working on a case that's even bigger than the Kira case which requires showing your identity #anyways if i'm wrong feel free to correct me! #death note #light yagami #l lawliet #musings #p

yall are willing to die for trans women and not trans men and we should talk about it actually

#transandrophobia #you'll do anything to protect trans women but dont have that same energy for trans men. interesting. #anyways i think the reason this is is bc ppl like this think bc we're men we dont need to be helped or protected #that somehow we should have figured out how to do this on our own. that we dont need community bc we're already solid and tough enough #which is weird like. how are you trans friendly but then you dont do any other basic progressive shit like #getting rid of gender roles entirely instead of now instead applying them to trans people also? ?? #like you dont get to be all 'men should express their emotions and be vulnerable' and then reinforce the traditional gender roles on- #trans men still. like have you or havent you decondtructed that shit in your head or did you iust see someone reblog something that seema #correct w/o even doing any critical thinking or self reflecting or anything on your end at all #i didnt suddenly become made of rock and become invulnerable when i transitioned. bc that narrative for men in general is inaccurate- #and harmful. and even if i did become super buff and capable of mowing down my enemies that wouldnt mean i dont suddenly need community #that doesnt mean i become immune to bullets or that i dont need a space to express my emotions regarding being trans n shit #like yall really just want to leave us out here to die it seems like. we have nowhere to go. no real community bc yall wont give us the #time of day or compassion or anything. you think 'men bad' and thats the deepest your political analysis goes as far as im concerned. #and if thats the case how much better are you than a terf who just decided they were 'okay' with trans women? #p sure this post was inspired from a trans guy literally being a meat shield for other trans ppl and no one gave a fuck.

Heyooo so like do you think you could explain the Someya brothers relationship? It’s peaked my interest since the new songs with these two revolve around each other…

Yujiro and Koichirou aren’t related by blood, right? 🤔

Also, what do you think about the new songs that just came out?

Thank you so much for your time 💛💛 Happy New Years 💕

hi! happy new year~~!

this got kinda long so there’s a cut here for length sorry~~~

ngl i’m kindaaaaa fuzzy on the details about the someya bros’ relationship, but long story short, they’re stepbrothers (with koichiro spawning from the resident longleg tamagoro and yujiro being tae’s son, of course) who were kinda pitted against each other when it came to learning how to perform (kabuki) from tamagoro, because longleg’s gotta longleg ig.

then yujiro gets disinherited because the longleg’s still longlegging and koichiro takes to the kabuki stage by himself as the local “national treasure’s” sole heir. so, like, i’m guessing that the events surrounding yujiro’s disinherition may have led to their (frankly terrible) brotherly relationship of “an inferior older brother” and “a superior younger brother”?

though this dynamic carried on pretty much for as long as yujiro longed to perform on a kabuki stage, just like koichiro does (if we were to take the lxl movie’s word for it). then yujiro became an idol and started to work towards a different dream, breaking off from the path (kabuki) that he used to follow koichiro down, which i guess made koichiro start to see yujiro in a different light?

like, imagine you have a lifelong rival who strives for the same goals that you do. however, this rival of yours is less skilled than you, so you naturally grow to have a sense of superiority over your rival, taking satisfaction in crushing them while having full knowledge that they will never be able to beat you when it comes to your shared goals.

however, one day, your rival decides to aim for a different goal, completely ditching your shared goal and stuff, and they actually seem to be doing pretty well in their path to achieve their new goal. how would you feel?

because i get the feeling that koichiro’s initial response to that was to feel betrayed, in a “why are you running away (from kabuki)?” sense.

though, over time, koichiro seems to have gradually come to terms with yujiro’s idol activities, and their relationship naturally (albeit slowly) improved as the days passed, with them going on walks together and bickering with each other like brothers would. which, y’know, is cool of him in a way. he’s learning. he’s still kind of a brat, but he’s growing despite his past mistakes.

as for yujiro, well, he seems to have been looking out for koichiro in his own way from the very beginning? like, man chose not to go against koichiro’s mistreatment, opting to just lower his head and accept it instead.

was it an act of self-sacrifice to protect koichiro’s ego or something? heck, even in the lxl movie, he just took everything koichiro dished at him, and only fought back when koichiro dared to mock his bf aizo. which is. pretty unhealthy, yujiro bro. just tell him you have a proper brotherly love for him for goodness sake. your communication skills s u c k.

um. anyway.

tl;dr: stepbros made to learn kabuki because of their father. older bro gets disinherited, younger bro gets an attitude and mistreats older bro. this continues until older bro becomes an idol and begins to walk his own path. younger bro feels betrayed/annoyed at his older bro for “giving up” on kabuki. younger bro does eventually accept the fact that they have different dreams and supports older bro. seems like older bro has always been looking out for younger bro though, even though he doesn’t say it.

thoughhhhhh seriously, i’m not a someya expert or anything, i just like making fun of the longleg, so… if someone with a degree in someyaology could chime in, it’d be greatly appreciated~~~

as for the new songs, nagisa’s new song is the best of them all, no question. thanks for coming to my ted talk—

#real talk: i ​haven’t really had the chance to listen to the other new songs properly buttttttt #from the ones i heard nagisa’s is ✨top tier (maybe) ukulele action✨ and akarin’s is cute and you can hear her character development in it #hiyoko’s… uh… will have to depend on the inevitable mv. it’s failing my vibe check at the moment bc of its lyrics. but we shall see #um anyways!!! thanks for the question anon!!!!! i’m sorry if my answer falls short!!!!! #i’m not a someya expert i’m just a fan of making fun of the longleg i s w e a r r r r r r r #染BODY ONCE TOLD ME— #forgot my someya tag for a moment w h o o p s ehehehhehehehe #rereading this with the clarity of rest and. wow. character/relationship analyses really aren’t my thing huh… sorry~~~~~~~~~ #(still waiting on corrections from someya experts though s o bs im so sorry anon)

this was very obviously supposed to be posted for mermay, but with the end of a school semester at that time and other minor personal stuff, that just wasn't gonna happen. i'm just happy i finished this at all lol

but yeah, with this mermaid design i made for matt, i based it on the appearance of a megamouth shark:

#based on me looking up 'cool sharks' on google #and yeah i saved the file as 'mermyatt' because that's the objectively correct choice :P #axialmatt #matt bragg #fun fact for the tags: #the hair colors were the same ones i always use for matt fanart #but i inverted the colors by accident #and kept the streak color from that #the base hair color changed to light blue #and while i like that shade. it clashed with the general color palette of matt #so i changed it to light brown ^_^ #lest i pulled a r/ooster teeth disaster sdfsfgfsfddsfd #e's art

I was reading back over my liveblog from last night (this post, specifically), and it occurred to me there was a comment Wyll made that might have resonated more with Rakha than occurred to me at the time.

-----

"Wyll."

"Hm?" Wyll looks up, jarred out of his thoughts as Rakha speaks to him. She has a way of coming out of nowhere, even in the close confines of camp. Then again, he also wasn't really paying attention. When they aren't on the road it's easy to get lost in his worries - in brooding on what has been done to him, worrying about Mizora's future plans and his own identity. "Sorry, I was... well. Never mind. What do you need?"

Rakha eyes one of the tent poles, seems to consider leaning against it, then changes her mind. "What is the River of Blood?" she asks.

As always, her questions come so directly, so without preamble or nicety, that it is a little startling. Refreshing, too - Wyll grew up among nobility, where every conversation had at least four layers of politics and nuance. None of that to be found here, certainly; if Rakha asks a question, it's because she wants to know the answer. She is not one for games.

This particular question is a bit jarring, though. "What?"

"The River of Blood," she repeats. "When we spoke last. You said - one who bathes in the River of Blood is born anew." She quotes his own words back at him with clipped precision.

"Oh." He'd almost forgotten the offhand comment. "Right. It's... another name for the Styx. The great river of the Hells."

"Styx." She echoes the word, fixing it in her mind. "And it flows with blood?"

"Ah, no." He smiles faintly. "Well, not entirely. Plenty of blood in it, from what I hear. I've never seen it myself."

"Ah." A pause. "And born anew?"

"They say--" he begins, then stops, his eyes narrowing sympathetically as he realizes why she is asking. "It's said that touching or drinking from the river causes memory loss. A disconnection from your past life. A new birth."

"Like me," she says. Her voice is calm, but her gaze is intent suddenly, the expression that takes her when she is parsing out new facts into her worldview. "I woke in that pod. We were in the Hells already. Could I have drunk from the Styx?"

He considers. "I am no expert," he admits. "Though I consort with a devil, for better or for worse, my business has always been on this plane. It's... certainly possible." He offers her a cautious smile. "It would certainly explain a lot, no?"

"Yes." She sticks out her jaw thoughtfully. A long pause. "It would be... appropriate," she continues slowly after a little while. "It all comes back to blood. Everything in my mind."

He nods slowly. She has spoken a little of the inward struggle, the beast that led to Alfira's death. He doesn't pretend to understand it, but he has seen her starting to wrestle with it more, day by day. "Perhaps it would be a comfort," he says cautiously, "to think of that as the cause. That it has a cause. The memory loss, at least."

"Perhaps." The very slightest hint of a smile twists the corner of her mouth - the first he has seen from her that was not blood-maddened. "Thank you. For telling me. This world is..." She pauses, snorts softly. "There is much to learn."

"There is. And I can't imagine starting from scratch," he says with a soft laugh. "Perhaps, should we ever reach Baldur's Gate, I can find you one of my old tutors. I'm sure our motley crew would be a thrilling challenge for them."

She squints at him.

He chuckles. "I'm joking. But... any time you need to ask me anything, if it's an answer I can give, I will. You have my word on it."

#bjk plays bg3 durge #rakha the dark urge #quick thing tossed off between work tasks but it was bouncing around in my brain and had to come out :P #i don't think i'm *actually* right about this one #but if it turns out that this is yet another correct twist prediction i will go out and buy a lottery ticket immediately XD #either way thought it gave rakha stuff to chew over #and more bonding with wyll yay!

psa for all avatar fanfic writers who feel the need to use Na’vi terms in their fics:

“ma” does not mean “my”

I know it’s tempting to think of it that way because it sounds similar, but it doesn’t. It’s a particle used when addressing someone directly. Think of it like a verbal @ sign. You use it when you’re talking to someone, never when you’re talking about someone.

✅ You should fix the basket, ma ‘itan. ��� You should help ma ‘itan fix the basket.

✅ Ma Neytiri, did you go hunting earlier? ❌ I heard that ma Neytiri went hunting earlier.

Ma ‘ite = @ daughter, not “my daughter” Ma ‘itan = @ son, not “my son” Ma yawne = @ beloved, not “my beloved” 

With ‘ite and ‘itan specifically I sometimes see it smushed into one word (ma’ite/ma’itan)--this is also incorrect. Even more so is using the tìftang as a connector between ma and whatever name or term you’re using (ma’yawne, ma’Jake, etc), which I’ve also seen once or twice. Tìftang is just a normal part of the words ‘ite and ‘itan; it has nothing to do with the “ma”.

furia aynga zola’u ne TedTalk oeyä, irayo  thank u for coming to my Ted Talk

#avatar #avatar 2 #way of water #lì'fya leNa'vi #i'm sorry to be that person i knoooow it's unfair to expect the average fic author to go out of their way to study Na'vi grammar #just for a fic #buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut it is still rather distracting ^^; #i've seen all sorts of other...um...interesting na'vi mistakes as well but this is a particularly common and easy to correct one #so #now you know :P

good episode it was a lovely little story i enjoyed it

it made me Very happy that there was absolutely no rick to be seen not even a mention. it was a good way to sort of balance out the fact that the rest of the season otherwise has just been morty being pushed to the side in favour of rick

also with that other title at the very end of the episode. i genuinely wouldn’t even mind if they did this again. i really enjoy the characters and stuff

#particularly the p guy. i think he’s fun #liveblogs #rick and morty spoilers #also. correct me if im wrong but #im pretty sure that was the first ever episode without one of r&m present at least a little bit #crazy stuff #odiespeak
