#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #jiang cheng #While listening to the Lotus Seed extra I was like 'aw this art is so cute.' #Post The Fanfic Fiasco (re: last comic's tags) I am haunted by the green orbs. WWX has a bag of edible green orbs and I am in hell. #First draft of this comic's script has JC saying 'dude you wouldn't even share with me!' and I love his little sibling indignation. #Middle child power is knowing that you don't have to share with your siblings. The little wet eyes and weak hand slaps do NOTHING. #JC probably already ate all of his lotus seeds. That's on you dude! #Part of me wants to get deeper with the metaphor of the lotus seeds here. It is a gesture of a certain kind of affection. #JYL gives something to WWX she does not quite share with JC. And WWX in turn gives something to LWJ he does not share with JC. #Really puts JC's line 'You're always eating...eating eating' into a very different light. #There are other kinds of starving besides hunger. There are other ways to be a glutton than just food and drink. #WWX's character pre-burial mounds is heavily focused on 'Indulgence'. Be it wine or flirting or hunting or eating- #-or receiving admiration; He is always indulging in ways we never see JC do. #I think the intentional contrast was with the Lan's 'Live simple and without indulgence' lifestyle. LWJ is the abstainer to wwx's gluttony. #But it does expand to JC as well! Both are locked into the role model position to have friction against WWX's apparent freedom. #I think LWJ and JC (at this point) see WWX as something they both want (in different capacities) and someone they want to be. #Yet despite the history between them it is not JC who WWX reaches out to. It's LWJ. #The boy already has an inferiority complex! Stop making it accidently worse!

I don't think you've ever gone into much detail on the relationships between Alfred and Zee/Jack. Does he care about them or is it more like an an adult sibling in their 30s suddenly having siblings that are in their teens? Nothing in common and generally don't really speak to each other or feel like they're really related at all. Just some other people that his father calls his children that he couldn't care less about?

It's really not very sibling but it's kind of distantly familial. But mostly they interact as friends. Zee has been very sceptical about Alfred pretty much from the get-go. She met him probably in the early Victorian Era and Alfred interpreted her clinging to Uncle Rhys as shyness, but she was low-key cranky and not having it. It's not that she doesn't like him, because she does. Alfred's impossible not to like especially when he's being genuine. But she's not sure she trusts him. He's ambitious and cunning in that bible salesman kind of way.

But he also has had some moments where he recognizes how Europe rejects both of them for being very obviously on the edge of European hegemony. They might ride a lot of human context of whiteness but empire is a very fucked up cosmopolitan thing so "neither you nor I are entirely European. We're western states but never going to completely European and there will always be a barrier there. Don't bother with them, I've already tried and pushed our limits." made for some surprising commonality with them. He's also had his head in her lap hallucinating and begging for Matt, death or Dad when he was low-key dying of malaria or dengue in the South Pacific. She also, perhaps ironically given their power differences, has given him the biggest fuck you anyone ever has by banning his ships from her ports while not only not escaping punishment but still entirely benefiting from the American security apparatus. He saves the majority of his emotional attachment for Matt but they can have a beer and go surfing without major incident. He certainly trusts her more than she trusts him but like it's just more solid than intimate.

Jack's relationship with Alfred is both more and less fraught. Mostly because of gender. Zee has it harder in a lot of ways being afab and feminine presenting most of the time but that's also made her less concerned about masculinity. Especially the sword clashing virility-as-nationalism they came of age in. The stolid, stoic, takes-his-lashes-silently ideal of British manhood that Jack does not suit. He looks at Arthur and he looks at Matt and he doesn't want to be them. His father's rage, Matthew's senseless martyrdom. He wants that respect, the warriors right to respect as it is. But he looks across the Pacific in the late 19th century and early 20th and Alfred is bright, forward-looking friendly and progressive. He has a navy. He has respect. He has a battle scars waged in the name of glamorous things like freedom and democracy and equality. That's an example of masculinity he likes. Alfred standing on the flag ship's prow, at the head of the Great White Fleet announcing him as the next great power kind of beat Jack over the head with a 'oh I'm a baby I need to grow up and get a navy and be a man and earn respect.' And he does pursue those goals and something of Alfred's version of great power projection. But its also not long before Alfred scares the shit out of him too. The costs of his father' ambitions have always been visible but when Alfred's are revealed to Jack they're shocking and frightening. He doesn't want to be his father and he doesn't want to be Alfred. But sometimes, the blunt imperialism of his father is a little easier to handle than the way Alfred operates as an empire of militant idealism. So while he and Alfred appear to get along very well on the surface, and work together very well while they're at it, there's very fundamental differences to who they are and that keeps them friends, not family.

Raha Ajoudani is an Iranian 17 year old trans women and activist who has been arrested by the Islamic Republic for protesting for her basic human rights. Because she's still early in her transition, she will be tried as a gay man, which is punishable with execution.

The global LGBTQ community HAS to have her back now. Say her name to save her life. Blow her up on every social media platform you can thing of, make tweets, share on ig, anything. Make her viral.

#stand up for your trans siblings stand up for your iranian siblings #if you ever considered yourself an ally or even just a good person you wont be silent #i can't highlight enough the danger she is in we have to be loud #if you've never reblogged any of my posts before reblog this one #say her name to save her life #say her name #raha ajoudani #iran #mahsa amini #iran revolution #iran revolusion 2022 #zan zendegi azadi #women life freedom #iranian lives matter #iran news #islamic republic of iran #mine

carwash siblings carolina dyeing her hair red to be less like their mother, wash bleaching his hair to be more like their family

#this came to me after seeing a fanart of them like a vision #rvb #red vs blue #agent washington #agent carolina #carwash siblings #im just really into the idea of their family dynamic being that carolina is the favorite but cannot fit into those expectations #and wash is perpetually ignored and isolated from the dynamic #and both thinking that the other one is favored by their father more #like carolina being number one (and invited in pfl earlier) but still never thinking she is good enough and always pushing herself #while wash might not even be good enough to be in pfl (and probably not in the top 10) based off of what the others say abt him #any yet their father still plays favorites to both of them #by bringing wash into the top 10 and by letting carolina have as much freedom as she wants #(eg. letting york come in with her; being the leader of the teams; getting to implant two different ais) #and this would also be benefited by canon bc wash doesn't even really get to be a part of the family in canon #like carolina invites him to go on a crazy patricide quest and hes like 'yes lets go' but he doesn't get to be in the room to send him off #i have so many feelings

I know most of this has been said far better by others but holy shit do I need to rant! I find it really sad yet funny how people will still try so hard to claim they aren't antisemitic and then be like"Israel shouldn't exist" that's one of the most bullshit things I've ever heard anyone say, then there's "I hate Zionist" when clearly you don't have the first clue about Zionism, it is simply put: Jewish people wanting a safe place to live, they've always been outcast everywhere so why is it so bad that they'd have their place? they've always been there and always will be in Israel. if you are anti-Zionist you are anti Jew. I've seen people try to claim that Israel started Hamas...?? like? what??no... sis you good?. most people, even now still don't know which river and which sea and it's embarrassing! I know I often come at this topic from a queer lens as I'm gay and trans and not Jewish personally, but honestly I'm scared both for Jewish people, and my fellow queers, Jewish folk I know personally have said to me they don't feel safe I don't feel safe around a lot of people anymore aswell for my queerness, because they claim to be allies... but how can you be my ally when you support Palestine? they fucking hate LGBT+ folk there, we are not welcome there, we would be killed there so to say "I'm an ally" feels so fake to me. to be part of the LGBT and still support that living hell of a place and act as though Israel started this and Palestine only wants peace and freedom? are you mad??! are you insane?? I only feel bad for people who want to be free from Hamas rule. and for the poor children who are raised into thinking Suicide bombing is a good thing and they should do it. not those who willingly support throwing my people off buildings and burn our flags. I will never fucking support Palestine as it is now EVER. if more people started saying free Palestine/Gaza from Hamas that would be a great fucking start. I am so fucking pissed off with some people my fucking lord. and another fucking thing! stop acting like Israel started October 7th! Israelis were murdered over nothing, I watched videos of Hamas shooting and killing people and even dogs. They are monsters they are rapists! you are supporting baby killers! you are supporting the real genocide! NEVER FORGET THE TRUTH OF OCTOBER 7th, because Hamas want to kill us all, Jewish, gay, trans, Queer, non Muslim! they are terrorists, they want to do October 7th over and over and over and over until there are no Jews left! FUCK HAMAS

#i stand with israel #fuck hamas #free palestine from hamas #antisemitism #pro israel #free gaza from hamas #lgbtq #freedom for all my queer siblings out there! #AAAAAAAAAAAAH I hate people #So many of y'all who think this bullshit are brain damaged or something I swear #so frustrating #goyim do better #so done #I probably could have worded things better but holy fuck #one of my “friends” really reblogged from a pro-hamas blog and I don't know if I can even be their friend anymore... this is too much #I feel like I'll lose everyone I cared about because of this war #and I'm not even in the war... like? I just wanna cry

hate going for christian weddings sometimes because i always see the prettiest women with the ugliest men, the sermon is always some shit about wives being slaves (but not like bad slavery, mutual slavery except the husband is a benevolent master which makes it okay) and making babies for their husband, the music is always lame, the mc is always weird and obnoxious, and older women keep fucking asking me when it's gonna be my turn and never take no for an answer.

#mine #personal #brief storytime in the tags #one of my family friends got married and i was happy she was happy #her parents are like an aunt and uncle to me #i was happy to share that moment with them #we cried and laughed together #and my friends #their other daughters were on the line and looked gorgeous #it was just beautiful watching us all grow up in a way and move on to “the next” together #BUT #im a pastor's kid #and my dad loves weddings #he drinks them in whenever he can now especially because they make him happy and he's had to attend a lot more funerals this year #he's been burdened a lot by how many people he's had to bury and how many hospital visits he's had to do #so i was happy to see him happy too #it just all felt so bittersweet to me #because i know how badly my parents want this for me and for themselves #there was a daddy-daughters dance at some point and i could feel my dad beaming beside me watching that #and i was a little sad about it because i was like im never gonna give you that #this could be the best thing i could ever give you and i will never give you this #i can never kneel at an altar in front of a pastor and swallow that sermon #i would never marry a man in my generation #if i married a woman you and almost the entire tent filled with people that watched me grow up would not attend #my happiest day would be another funeral for you #it was worse because im kind of a small celebrity in this community because of my parents and their siblings who are politicians #so people i barely knew kept coming up and asking me when it would be my turn and how they so looked forward to the day #and i was like i love that we're a community here and i missed the pestering of aunts since i left church #but at the same time i was glad to remember why i left #there is no freedom to be myself at all with them because all they do is project their beliefs and ideas on me because that's what children

Felt that. It’s like people forget platonic relationships exist, familial relationships exist, mentor-mentee relationships exist. Not everything needs to be romantic, so sick of people making the romantic the be all end all.

Exactly! I'm so confused by people who look at the Straw Hat's and think each of them needs a romantic partner by the end of the series. Like romance = true happiness.

The Straw Hat's love each other so much. None of them are dating anyone. And they're so, so happy! Nami isn't in love with anyone nor is she searching for romance. No one joined the crew because they have romantic interest in Luffy. Their found family is precious and fulfilling. The series could end with none of them in romantic relationships and it would be a very happy ending for them, so long as they have each other! Screw romance, I want what they have 💜💜💜

#i have my ships but their platonic relationships are more precious to me #friendships are good #sibling dynamics are good #i love strong platonic bonds between characters #i die a little inside when i see one of those 'who the straw hats could end up with at the end of the series' posts #please luffy does not need not desire a pretty wife #zoro has never expressed interest in anyone ever #sanji wants the freedom to love all women not just one

[bluegarners]

i just get the feeling that dick would get emotional over frozen

#not me projecting onto him again... #but no in all seriousness like the sibling-isms of wanting to leave and start over and be free #but realizing that your freedom is not unconditional and that it does have consequences #and some of those consequences will go to the people and siblings you left behind #and you can either be alone in your freedom forever or go back to the very thing that trapped you in the first place but at least #with the love of the few people you have wanted desperately all your life to protect and keep and see as home

STICK FIGURE 158! “BOW”

She’s a little shy bean, wanting to keep to herself most of the time. The only moments she’s out of her shell is when she starts painting. She chooses to be selectively mute, not finding a need to talk in a swarm of copies of herself.

She may have a small crush on LHA member Cion, but she’s never going to let anyone know!

@freeeesticks here’s another sweetheart

is Starlo the older or younger brother of Orion?

As far as I know, there's no canon confirmation? The wiki just lists Orion as Starlo's brother. I haven't seen any official statement about their ages.

But I personally HC Orion as the younger brother, by a considerable amount. (I HC Starlo in his early 30s, so Orion is like, late 20s.) Just because I think it lends to Orion being kind of jealous of Starlo getting to do what he wants while Orion has to stay at home helping out with the farm.

That's just my interpretation though! Since there's no canon confirmation (again as far as I know) any interpretation is valid.

#the cowboy hat yodels #Orion just strikes me as the grumpy younger sibling who can't stand his older sibling #But is also envious of his older sibling's freedom

today, me and my sibling made death battle machines and pitted them against each other. the one with the ninjas piloting is called “wu’s team building exercise” and the one with the flaming tit on top is called “diarrhea johnson’s freedom-licious nutbuster 3000”.

diarrhea johnson’s machine can only go in one direction [circle] and wu’s teambuilding exercise can only go in every direction all at once. it has 11 wheels and 6 joints/swivels for maximum teamwork difficulty. kai is in charge of main steering from his post on top of the double-decker couch, and due to an error in lower-couch capacity calculations, the secondary steering mechanism had to be moved to the very front of the vehicle last-minute, but lloyd is braving it like a champ. cole is on back right steering and zane mirrors him with back left steering. wu’s job is to hold The Skull.

in the end, diarrhea johnson won with only a single illegal nuclear rocket booster knocked off from the impact, and wu’s team building exercise was broken into 4 pieces. among the detached was the expresso machine/main and only engine in the back that jay was put in charge of constant monitoring, as well as the emergency shut down explosion button [and only form of breaks] on the very back of the vehicle. lloyd was flung across the floor and hit the dishwasher head on. he is still in the ICU. however, when the illegal nuclear rocket booster was knocked off of mr johnson’s vehicle, it also set off a nuclear explosion and rendered everywhere within a 100 mile radius an instant-death zone. diarrhea johnson did not survive. however, we concluded that the ninja are probably fine, because they are only glowing green, and as everyone knows, lloyd’s power glows green, so nothing is out of the ordinary. 

perhaps most impressive of all is that The Skull was not once knocked from wu’s hand. truly a legendary battle was had today, but i think the true hero here does not lie in the winner - but in each of us.

#nat.txt #genshin impact posting #hsr posting #gepard is slightly less repressed but thats only because he's not been in the wilderness with no company for years #unfortunately he has something that diluc doesn't (well. fortunately. but not in the repression stakes): #a family to judge his beloved #as the younger sibling he doesnt get to have the freedom diluc does as master of the winery and business #the repression stakes ease out in the end

Controversial (United States) opinion that shouldn’t be controversial, from someone that lives in the USA

on the Freedom of Speech amendment (USA):

“freedom of speech” protects your right to stand up to the government, to protest in ways that could otherwise be outlawed (such as burning the country flag or posting about what they’re doing wrong on social media).

“freedom of speech” does not mean you will be pardoned for every crime that involved you speaking about something unrelated to government protest.

“freedom of speech” does not mean that there won’t be consequences from your fellow citizens if you choose to use that ‘freedom’ to harm others.

it does not mean that you have the right to verbally abuse, verbally harass, threaten, or use your words in a hate crime against someone (especially under protected statuses, like gender identity, sexual/romantic orientation, race, etc.).

it does not mean that you can tell fellow voters you hope their queer/trans children die or get assaulted if they don’t want to vote for Biden, or Trump, or whomever*.

(* this has actually happened to our adoptive ren E (they/them) repeatedly about our little brother Q (he/they). yes, admitting they don’t like Biden due to the shit he’s allowing, doing, encouraging, etc. has actually gotten these kinds of comments...from democrat/“liberal” Biden supporters, of all people. they told ren E that they hope Q dies.)

it does NOT mean you can say whatever you want about everything, forever. it protects your speech against the government only.

so no, freedom of speech does not prevent you from being arrested for hate crime, harassment, abuse, etc.

no, it does not protect you from being kicked out of a business after verbally harassing/abusing or sexually harassing an employee (or many employees).

no, it does not protect you from fellow citizens counter-protesting or from them telling you that you are factually incorrect.

no, it does not protect you from legal repercussions if you use your online presence to bully, harass, abuse, etc. other people, or if you doxx people, or if you threaten someone or their child.

Freedom of Speech is part of Freedom to Protest. they go hand in hand.

you have the right to say ‘hey I don’t like the government doing [insert atrocity here (Palestine, Iraq, etc.)] / passing [insert a law or policy that hurts people]’.

you do not have the freedom to say ‘fuck you and your whole culture/country/gender/identity/etc.’ to another person.

I don’t expect this to go far but I wanted to say it...somewhere. and here is the best bet because FB would lose its mind & the algorithm might bite my ass if I openly call Palestine an atrocity or call out...anything, really. they repress content like this.

(Facebook is very anti free speech (/srs), funny enough (/sarcastic, frustrated); it suppresses pro Palestine content but doesn’t remove the most hateful bullshit spread all over its platform...and pro Palestine is, in fact, speaking up against the government.)

you (general/nbh) should be more angry about Facebook and TikTok and Twitter suppressing anti government anything (pro Palestine, pro LGBT+ progress, ‘we should actually fund schools’, etc.). you (general/nbh) should be less angry about laws that protect people from harm.

that is all.

(this was inspired by USA newspaper lash-back on Scotland’s new anti hate crime law. maybe the law isn’t perfect, but it’s a step in the right direction, & it is not an infringement on freedom of speech.)

(incase this breaks containment: hateful replies, reblogs, asks, etc. will be blocked)

#bg3 #thoughts about media #bg3 spoilers #(in tags- not the post) #astarion’s...performance. early act 3 lives in my mind rent free #it’s delightfully dramatic. but it also tells you a LOT about him. #that’s one thing I truly and honestly REALLY love about astarion’s character. #he’s charismatic in his own way- his dramatics are silly and charming. #and to some- they may be distracting. which is somewhat the point. #I say somewhat because I don’t think ALL of his drama is meant to be a distraction/performance. #he’s genuinely Like That. #but in this case it at least partially is. #to cover up his fear. because it’s very clear the driving force behind everything astarion does is fear and self-preservation. #he’s more honest with you here. he tells you outright that what cazador did was wrong because he did it to astarion himself. #not because cazador’s actions are objectively wrong no matter who the victim is. and that all the other spawn suffered too. #not that astarion knows about the 7k living spawn in cazador’s basement though. just his own siblings. #which he views as necessary sacrifice for his own freedom. #which again. says sooo much about him. #I won’t say he only cares about himself at this point anymore though. it’s clear he DOES truthfully love tav. #and he does care about the other companions too. his reactions to their individual predicaments suggest as much. #and he does care for yenna- even if complains that there’s no room in the camp for any more ‘mangy strays’ #*cough cough* pot and kettle. anyways. he does approve of you helping her and is upset if she is kidnapped by orin. #but all that. the way he speaks of his siblings. the way he speaks of yenna. the way he still thinks he needs cazador’s power... #he thinks so little of himself. even if he acts like the world revolves around him and his suffering. #deep down- he still believes everything cazador’s literally beat and cut into him. #which makes the moment where he tells cazador that he’s so much more than what cazador did to him- so much more satisfying and rewarding.
