as a jew, seeing what all of these israeli leaders have said is sickening. as a jew, anti-palestinian rhetoric is sickening. as a jew, zionism is sickening.

how dare my people -- a people who've been massacred, ethnically cleansed, dehumanized, forcibly removed, and discriminated on religious grounds for their entire existence -- do the same to another people? how dare we turn our backs on them, when they suffer like we have?

i understand that so much of us have been fed zionist propaganda our entire lives; the same happened to me. i understand the desire for a homeland where we don't have to fear antisemitism at every turn; i want that too. but it doesn't take much thought to understand that a homeland for us, which actively oppresses and kills another people, is antithetical to what we want.

if you, as a member of an oppressed group, believe that your freedom and safety can only exist when you oppress another group, you are acting no better than the people who oppressed you. such a belief is horrible, and cynical, and wrong.

as a jew, i want jewish people to be happy and safe and connected to our heritage; as a jew, i also want other peoples to be happy and safe and connected to their heritage.

don't call the palestinians "amalek". you are turning us into amalek.

doesn't the torah tell us to have empathy for those beaten down by the world? doesn't the torah tell us to make the world a better place? doesn't the torah tell us to free people of their shackles and help them escape oppression?

i have so many israeli aunts and uncles and cousins; i fear for their safety. of course, my parents do as well. i'm worried that this fear, in addition to anything they were led to believe earlier in life, is placing my parents even deeper in the zionist camp. but it doesn't have to be this way! my relatives' safety does not rely on the continued oppression of gaza!

it is easy to be uninformed, to be swayed by propaganda, to blindly hope that israel was founded in good faith -- but we can't lie to ourselves. a world steeped in senseless hatred (which we are now promoting!) could never be a home for us. none of us are free, liberated, equal, until all of us are.

as a jew, to other jews, i implore that we stand with our palestinian siblings. i want us all to be happy and safe. i want us all to live in harmony -- in the holy land and around the world. that is what we all deserve. <3

#melonposting #i apologize for not reblogging/posting much stuff about israel/palestine until now #i kept having this fear that my mom would see and get angry at me #but what do i care? i want both jews and palestinians to be happy #oh yeah. and i keep hearing the argument that 'jews living in the holy land before israel was established weren't treated well'#i don't know if that's true or not... but does it matter?#like of course antisemitism is horrible. but that can be dealt with #forcibly taking over their land is not the answer #like if israel were never a thing and people saw that jews living in the holy land didn't have rights #they'd do something about it!#and if you think they wouldn't (which is a fair thing to think)... well then you should do something about it!!!#don't solve oppression with more oppression you idiot!!!!!#no positive change will ever come to a world which doesn't think positive change can happen #and oppression is not positive change.#and it also pains me how so much of zionist rhetoric feeds off of post-holocaust fear #and i get it. i get that in the mid 20th century we were so scared and angry after the holocaust #and that we desperately wanted a safe haven #i will never not empathize with that fear and rage because it's justified #but that is no excuse to oppress another group of people. there are other ways to be safe and happy i promise #just stop hurting each other... please... you're not helping anyone...#palestine #israel #zionism

To say that Kakashi and Gai’s relationship (talking solely platonic rn) was mostly about him helping Kakashi cope with the loss of Obito is disingenuous to Kakashi and all of his relationships.

Any person is going to be traumatized after seeing someone — much less their teammate — be crushed to death under a rock. Kakashi is shown to be someone susceptible to depression due to 1. His environment 2. His initial beliefs and 3. His genetic line. Of course his life is going to be centered around one of the most traumatic experiences of his life, romanticizing it is so hurtful to his character because it destroyed him - and if Kishimoto actually cared about expanding other character relationships instead of making a “generational duo that falls apart” + wasn’t a misogynistic writer, Rin’s death would be the bigger influence on his life than Obito’s.

Yes, Gai had to help him numerous times in his grief but it wasn’t solely or even mainly about Obito. Rin was an absolute vital point in Kakashi’s downfall into chaos. The self harm he inflicted upon himself, the self hatred, the self shame. He became a whole different person after he was forced to kill her. I would say Kakashi’s father Sakumo is by far the biggest influence on him. He wouldn’t have needed any speech of “your father was a hero” by Obito if it wasn’t for Sakumo. His personality of today is thanks to his father’s own death.

Gai and Kakashi’s friendship is almost entirely about them when they’re in scenes together. Look at the chunin exams, look at any scene in the land of steam arc, look at their race, etc. naturally there will be grief the two bring to the relationship and it’s on them to work it out separately, together and with other people which did happen.

You’re actively ignoring every other character that has shaped and formed who Kakashi is by saying Obito is the biggest and only reason he is who he is. Gai is one of the strongest reasons why Kakashi is as motivated and strong as he is. Kakashi would’ve absolutely died at some point in (general) anbu if Gai didn’t pull him out and he was slipping so far when he was in it because of Rin and Minato.

Kakashi’s heart does not “belong” to Obito because he’s in love with Obito and can’t get over him, his heart belongs to the people he loves because that’s who Kakashi is at his core - a lover. He’s a person who cares so deeply, even for people he doesn’t necessarily like or get along with.

Kakashi is a person who is shaped by everybody in his life, that’s why he is one of the best written Naruto characters. He feels like a real person because real people are influenced by everyone in their life, in every way. It’s unfortunate to see those who call themselves Kakashi fans only to mischaracterize, limit and erase the bonds he was written to have to prop up one single bond for your ship.

Do you care for this character? His themes, parallels, relationships and writing? or is he just a placeholder / self insert for shipping content?

#and saying kk is all healthy until Obito comes along and he’s a ‘whimpering mess’ where all his progress falls out the window #is so weird on a psychological level #because Obito isn’t be the only trigger for Kk’s trauma #if Rin was brought back and he faced her in any way he would shatter in ways he didn’t seeing Obito #I get so frustrated and upset when Rin especially isn’t mentioned in his trauma because she is the one that we see destroy Kakashi #not even Minato’s death caused him such trauma #even if he didn’t make that promise to Obito to keep her safe he’s too devoted to his loved ones #it would’ve killed him the same way if he didn’t make the promise #Gai and Kakashi’s friendship is not centered around Obito and if it was they wouldn’t be happy like they were in the land of steam arc #i love shopping Kakashi but I will not mischaracterize him and erase his influences to make my ship look better #and people PLEASE start mentioning Sakumo because he is THE beginning piece of the puzzle #you cannot have Kakashi without his trauma from his father #I just get so sad seeing Kakashi’s very real grief and trauma be interpreted as obsession and romance for Obito #like on a reality standpoint that’s just fucking weird to do #anti obkk #anti obikaka #kakashi hatake #maito gai #rin nohara #sakumo hatake #obito uchiha #minato namikaze #sins meta #naruto meta

Ok, So I adore your KenBig art even though I have absolutely zero idea of what the fandom is about haha, would love to hear more about them because I can tell you're so passionate.

Thank you so much!

I am !! Very Passionate about them yes adhjfkshjks let me try to break them down for you without making it a 3 hour TED talk lmao (no promises)

So they're two minor side characters from the Thai bl series KinnPorsche, also known as The Gay Mafia Show. At the beginning of the series Big is the head bodyguard for Kinn, who he is secretly (and quite hopelessly) in love with and who is the heir to the family's mafia empire. He is Loyal with a capital L, fiercely protective of Kinn, a little (a lot) pathetic in his devotion and quite frankly a bit of a dick. Ken is just Ken his best friend, also a bodyguard for the Main Family and also a bit of a dick. He's from Australia originally and brings us delightful iconic phrases like "nice one, loser" and "are you fucking dumb, bro". Also, pineapple boxer briefs. You mostly see the two of them together and when they show up it's usually to be a bitch and/or to bully Porsche, who is the other main character and love interest for Kinn (hence the name of the show).

They're terrible people is what I'm saying. But then again so is almost everyone else on the show lmao it's the mafia ok!!

It's never explicitly stated in the show but we see other bodyguards room together (namely Porsche and Pete) so the widely accepted headcanon is that Ken and Big are roommates (oh my god they were roommates etc etc) and just because I live for this kind of thing I have convinced myself (and others, apparently! through the power of art) that while Big is hopelessly in love with Kinn (canon), Ken is hopelessly in love with Big (canon in my heart). It's about the pining and the tragedy and a secret third thing (jealousy) for me

Well. I don't want to spoil too much in case you're ever planning on watching it but it's kind of important for them, so ... towards the end of the show Big ends up sacrificing himself for Porsche (or rather, for Kinn's happiness) and dies not knowing that Ken is the mole they've been searching for and is actually working for the Minor Family (so, for Kinn's cousin and uncle who are the main villains in the series). But Ken is killed as well, at roughly the same time just at a different place and at the hand of his actual employer Gun, so they both end up dead.

Which, you know, I personally think is unacceptable because I love them and don't want it to end there, so most (but not all) of my art is set in an AU that I brainstormed with my partner @pharawee in which they both survive and then have to deal with the consequences of their actions (which is absolutely delicious to me because man!! You have Big who is so desperately loyal but has been kind of struggling to find his place now that Porsche is there, and Ken who betrayed everything Big held dear but !! Is also his best friend!!! But is he really? Has he ever really been his friend at all?? And if Ken is a traitor what does that make him who has been sharing everything with him?? Bonus points since Ken is in love with him and never wanted to betray Big personally. So much potential for angst I am telling you, it's a feast), and then eventually they find comfort in each other and carve out their own path. If you're interested you can read the beginning on ao3.

In other headcanons there's been a Thing going on between them all along and sometimes they still die. Or they don't but everything is still fucked up. Either way it's all good and I'm here for all of it hehe

So this is shaping up to turn into that 3 hour TED talk after all which is why I'll stop here, but if you have literally any other questions or are interested in hearing more I would be prepared to go on for hours lmao sorry (but not really).

#replies #elleweird #kenbig #kinnporsche #look the show is really good #and kinn and porsche's story is genuinely worth watching on its own #but I'm a sucker for both loyal lapdog characters AND traitors. AND pining idiots too actually #so it's no wonder really that I latched onto these two minor side characters lmao they were made in a lab for me specifically #especially since they go so well together even in the show. and the tragedy of it all you know #we don't see enough of them but that just means that ... we don't see enough of them !! if you know what I mean #anything is possible! we don't KNOW what these two are up to while everything else is going on #we read between the lines here in the land of denial #anyway I'll shut up now I promise

another headcanon: finrod and fingon became truly close friends in helcaraxë. they spent a lot of time together because someone had to step up and be fingolfin's right and left hands. (fingolfin is sure he would have gone mad without them. fingon and finrod are sure they would have gone mad without each other.)

#they are both hope personified #and the kind of elves that would go around during short periods of rest just chatting with their people #cheering them up and allowing them to cry on their shoulders #and making sure they keep seeing the promise of land ahead #also if i had to pick a finwëan cousin who could have known about /rescue maedhros/ plan #i would pick finrod!#he's the only other elf who would say #sure fingon go ahead a harp and faith in inherwnt goodness of the world is enough to take on melkor #*inherent #tolkien #the silmarillion #fingon #finrod

Also what I love about archie sonic is the way they align things with game canon?? Because generally by the time a game comes out, the comics have managed to establish like 50 contradictions in their canon, but they decided to make tie-ins and fixes anyway. Like, Robotnik from Archie looks nowhere near what Eggman looks like in games. When they started making comics Sonic was a tiny, round guy with black eyes, so he's small, and had brown eyes. You'd think they would have like a time skip to explain the changes. No, Sonic carries a hyper emerald or whatever on his back to point a large beam on himself so a village that is set 3 hours forward in time doesn't along with the timeline and explode the world and somehow he's just like in a weird vortex and suddenly they all comment about wow, Sonic. You have green eyes now and buckles on your shoes n shit. They made an entire arc to explain why Eggman looks different. And it was awesome. It was so good. Amy??????? I love these fucking comics so much.

#i think they kind over did it with the leading a lost echodna tribe to promised land but whatever i guess #it was confusing and actually boring at the point okay like give me some lasers i dont want jesus #btw the thing with sonic getting green eyes COULD have gone differently see the comic was made confusing on purpose and by the time i was #reading that i was really really tired and i just accepted everything i didn't understand #they literally say on the cover this shit is going to be very confusing that's so funny

Come take... this... hand... at twi... light’s... door... I’ll meet... you... there We’ll share the moonlit floor through the driving rain –

#bsd fyodor #bsd #bsd fyodor dostoyevsky #bsd fyodor dostoevky #bsd fanart #bungou stray dogs fyodor #bungou stray dogs fyodor dostoevsky #after I read Kat's fanfic that I requested... the one I gave her Siouxsie and The Banshees's 'Lands End' lyrics for...#I found myself suddnely drawing this #only for my pleasure and further character exploration #and now that he returned so beautifully in the manga - it feels natural to share this with you my dear souls #I'm referring especially to my time-blog transcending mutuals - yeah perhaps you will be happy to see the no-fanart promise broken #at least from time to time #but really I've been at much more peace now that I don't engage with the fandom that much anymore #I'm only open to character analysis topics on this blog and put other stuff aside #I'm glad that from time to time people discover my fanarts buried in who knows how many reblogs on other blogs and #they add sweet tags or lose their minds there - I love it #but as for me... I'll use some Depeche Mode lyrics for this---#'oh leave me here forevermore - I found the peace I've been searching for'#ah but I guess the Angel of Love is still upon me -#'I was lost..

just had the very slow realisation that the majority of people ive met in daily life don’t have online friendships or communities and just got quite sad about it. idk, I just love you guys and being a part of online spaces that are so collectively in a headspace that reality is altered

#like??? not having insights from people who live on different land masses that you’ll never meet and probably never know what they #look like?? what do you do with your day??? where do you put your silly little ideas???? where do you get your joy???#I’ve got past fandom friends that I still text! we all do our own thing but it’s lovely and fun and I just????#can’t imagine not doing stuff like this? idk! I’m just being silly and trying to distracts myself from the Horrors #the horrors (threatening) not the horrors (music band) I’m sure they are fine people…maybe? who knows! not me!#hope you all have a good weekend!#I’m in a music rut and don’t know if I should stay in old stuff or try modern? I think modern but I don’t know who #also ALSO! inbox I see you and I am drafting responses I promise #this is really just nonsense sorry friends

Learning how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable is important. I'm genuinely not okay when I hear, see, and research more about the genocide happening in Gaza, the history of Israel's founding, and its terroristic actions. It is important for me to know.

Taking short breaks (usually a couple of hours or so) does help when things get too much. Then, I return and continue engaging with reblogs on Palestine.

I really don't know what else to say, but this genocide must end. All genocides must end and must never happen again. Keep talking about Palestine, Armenia, Congo, and Sudan! Keep protesting! Keep fighting!

What is important now is to be as loud as you can be! Raise ruckus! Make your voice unavoidable! Be as annoying as possible! Do not let your representatives ignore this!
