So, to counteract the brain rot I'm experiencing from cc1, I picked a book off my shelf I haven't read

The Wall by William Sutcliffe is a story set in the fictional town of Amarias, Occupied Palestine about a settler boy who crosses the Wall that separates his town from the forbidden territory of the enemy

From what I can tell William Sutcliffe is a British YA author so by no means am I suggesting The Wall as primary or secondary reading for learning about Palestine or supporting Palestinian artists. I have this book because I bought it years ago (it was published in 2013)

My thoughts so far on Part One (pg 1 - 62)

For Context Joshua sneaks into a "disputed" area to retrieve his football and finds the entrance to a tunnel that goes under the high wall that separates his brand new town from "the enemy"

(to clarify Joshua is an Israeli boy who lives in a settlement in the West Bank, not technically "Israel" but rather Occupied Palestine - the whole thing is but I hope you get what I mean)

The narration style took a little for me to get into since I think it does a good job of feeling like Joshua's 13 year old POV at times then slips into being clearly the adult voice of the author at others

I like that Sutcliffe doesn't pretend at Joshua's total ignorance to paint him as innocent, Joshua because of the nature of settler life is aware of some things but can't quite understand the full scope

[When describing the "disputed" area and the demolished house he finds there]

It's a feeling I can't quite understand, something to do with the obvious suddenness with which this place was transformed from a home into a heap of junk. An eerie chill seems to be rising up from the rubble. It's as if an aftertaste of violence is hanging in the air, like a bad smell.

...

Even from up here, I can see that the possessions spilling out of the house never belonged to people like us. This was the home of people from the other side. The mystery isn't what happened to them, it's how they found themselves on the wrong side of The Wall in the first place, and why the site hasn't been cleared and built on.

The contradictions don't jump out at him but he is subconsciously aware of them

The Wall was put up to stop the people who live on the other side setting off bombs, and everyone says it has done an excellent job.

Most people who work on the building sites in Amarias are from the other side, and if you drive to the city you see lots of people who look like they come from those towns, but other than that, even though they're living next door, it feels like they aren't really there.

Actually, that's not right. You know they're there because The Wall and the checkpoints and the soldiers who are all over the place are a constant reminder, but it's as if they're almost invisible.

After crossing and being chased by a group of older boys then saved by a girl who can speak Hebrew

I'm not, in truth, very far away at all. Probably only a few hundred metres. But I'm in another world.

...

It all feels strangely normal yet exotic, and odd to think this place has always been here, so busy and so alive; so close but invisible.

The girl borrows him her father's keffiyeh and her brother's flip-flops so he can walk back to the tunnel without being spotted as a settler

The scarf lent by the girl who saved me, and even though she asked for the simplest thing in return, I gave her nothing. Worse than that, I now see that I have stolen from her[...]

Joshua manages to get home to the house he shares with his mother and religious fundamentalist stepfather. (many settler groups are often part of stricter religious sects and a clear distinction is made by Joshua between his Dad who was a mostly secular reservist killed in action and his step-father who is a staunch settler and much more religious)

When Joshua asks Liev, his step father, about the forbidden territory, Liev tells him it is disputed but when Joshua asks by who Liev says 'No one.'

Then the same night he returns from the other side Joshua takes out a miniature town he built. His actions mirroring the actions of colonial settlers, he subconsciously understands there's no real fear or righteousness - the 'war' and it's propaganda are manufactured - the truth is much more methodical

I stand over the fantasy town, gazing down at it. Along one edge is a wall, the same height as the tallest house. [...] I remember the afternoon I added in the wall, years ago, taking up hours getting it to the right height and making it solid. There's even a watchtower in one corner, made from the inner tube of a toilet roll topped with a yoghurt pot which is usually filled with soldiers. Now for the first time it strikes me as strange that I put this wall at the edge, with nothing on the other side of it.

[...]

...I don't feel angry or destructive as I'm doing it, but slowly and deliberately, I lift a leg and step onto a cardboard house at the heart of the town. One by one, I calmly crush all the others that are made of cardboard. Two are made of balsa wood. Those I pluck from where they are glued into place, and squeeze in my hands until they shatter. [...] Then dismantle the Lego houses, brick by brick. There's also a police station.[...]Then there's the school and the park and the shops...

Interesting so far.

*

On a less humorous not than how I started, I have seen sjm out and about being celebrated by crowds of dozens of people for the launch of cc3 and beyond my own disappointment at fairly predictable spoilers I've seen, it bothers me that at a time like this when so many are aware of the Occupation and SJM's own Zionist leanings, she can still be celebrated by so many people (many of them being poc)

Idk, it just bothered me so I picked The Wall off my shelf to especially counteract the underlying pro-Zio vibes in cc

people with siblings: how do you feel about them?

#[.txt] #just. a bit curious #e: I see... thank you for the answers so far; it's interesting to hear as someone who's an only child #i suppose i should have phrased this as: if you have them - how do you feel about your siblings? #i am aware most answers can be boiled down to being complicated; even so it has been nice to hear from everyone of different circumstances #i hope that your day is well.

I want to post this here too because I’ve seen it happen a few times

Please understand that there are cultural differences and language differences, if you see this happening let the person clarify what they meant, that person might just not be familiar with words the western side of the internet use

#bearz rambling tag #no it’s not really possible to let everyone who uses this term to change #because as far as I know this is the most common word with use on Chinese websites #I didn’t know that pairing are called ‘ship’ here #like why would I even know that #‘ship’ makes zero sense to me #it took me a while to learn the fandom language people speak here #it’s hard #give people time #shipping culture is very different too #Like on Chinese site you HAVE to clarify the Top and the Bottom of this ship in the ship name #it is very very important to them #people who like the same ship but with different Top Bottom preference will fight till no end #imagine how confused I was when I first got here #where there’s no top bottom differences #it’s not really a smut thing #it’s more a dynamic thing #AxB and BxA is very different #oh I can talk so much about the differences on fandom cultures #if ya are interested in more please feel free to ask #it’s very interesting to me #I wanna talk about it

pornstar!könig and camera-girl!reader :3 🎥

you're meek and shy, a little thing standing nervously in the corner of the room with your camera, ready to record the pornstars perform their work. it's pretty obvious to most in the room that you're new to this type of work environment, but you get your job done and you do it decently. könig spends hours having sex with other pornstars, but instead, he has his eye on you. you stand there, shifting your weight from foot to foot, humiliated and embarrassed as you record people having sex with each other.

könig tries to convince you to join in with him and create a video with him one day, although it takes a lot of convincing and a little bit of coercion to convince you to strip down bare and expose yourself to him. god, könig is hungry and insatiable at the sight, something he'd been dreaming to see.

you're inexperienced and don't have a clue what you're doing, but that only makes it all the more enjoyable for könig, who ploughs into your swollen, slick folds on repeat until he's cumming uncontrollably, filling your tight warmth with ropes of his thick, sticky creaminess. you take notes off of other pornstars, copying their techniques to appeal to the viewers.

he'll rewatch that video specifically, getting off to it and fantasising about you while recording with other women. although you're not a pornstar yourself—just a little pervert standing awkwardly in the corner, attempting to do your job despite the clear effect it has on you—you're better than anyone else he's worked with, although he may be a little biased.

i may or may not be planning a fic where one of the many subplots is that Jason (as Red Hood, but Danny already knows) is following/investigating Danny because he thinks Danny’s dangerous somehow. I won’t go into the details because it’s so much, but point is i have a silly little scene in my head wherein Danny goes out to work on a uni group project with Tim, and on their way to the cafe some asshole car hits a guy on a motorcycle. The Biker goes into a rage and starts cursing him out, takes off his helmet and lo and behold it’s Jason.

Mid-verbal fight with the asshole he catches sight of Tim (recording the whole thing and waving at Jason) and of Danny (potential danger he’s been investigating for nearly two weeks), and Jason gives the asshole a “this isn’t over” threat and dips. Then,

Tim, who noticed Danny’s reaction: You know that guy?

Danny: Oh, yeah, that’s my stalker. You?

Tim: Nemesis. I’m sorry he’s your what?

Bonus:

Tim texting Jason: are you stalking my classmate??

Jason: Mind your own business, Replacement.

Jason: Wait, did he tell you that?

Tim: yah

Jason: RH’s been investigating him. Why the FUCK does your “classmate” think it’s me?

Tim: dick is gonna love this. the great rh has a containment breach

Jason: DON’T YOU FUCKING DARE TELL HIM REPLACEMENT

Tim: LMAO fuck it we BALL

Jason: TIM

#dpxdc #tim is always on the lookout for blackmail opportunities #i’m planning the fic so far #i really hope i get the chance to write it djsj #jason has perfect text grammar #he’s nerdy like that #tim doesn’t even want to do the group project #he was planning on ditching but his group partner has made his day 10x more interesting #and more stressful #gen z tim #danny doesn’t even question the nemesis comment #’yeah that tracks’

[ID in ALT] I've made posts before about Talia/Dick co-parenting Damian moments (will never happen but let me dream) and this came to me in a vision. Took me ages to finish for some reason 😭 and then even longer to post

#dc comics #dc #damian wayne #dick grayson #talia al ghul #batfamily #dc robin #nightwing #anyway. yes im a self-indulgent ''dick as damians secret third parent'' truther #like i DO think it's way more complex and nuanced than the schmoopy affectionate fan portrayal of it #they're brothers they're father and son they're partners they're the dynamic duo except only in past tense etc etc #but consider! I'm not immune to schmoopy affection in fanworks. it compells me despite itself #anyway it's technically not that crazy when it comes to dick and damian. they hug! often! at least they did #it's not as big a leap to these types of scenarios #also talia ''somewhat absent for complex reasons on both her and damians part but very loving and loved by her son'' al ghul #you will always be famous to me #son of the demon origin...bwahhh #anyway. someone made a comic kind of like this/like a post i made abt this topic #but way funnier bc dick and talia starting trying to beat each other up #so go look at that as well #anyway. it's been a somewhat difficult few weeks so I'm. desperately trying to take it easy #i got some reading with me (first vol of kevin smiths GA run that i found second hand and jaimes BB run vol 2!) #so we'll see how far i get through those. considering there's demons in my head telling me to re-read things (LET ME OUT!!!) #when i finish GA and BB i do plan on rereading robin 2021. as a treat to myself #it's a run I've really warmed up to as time went on #I'm keeping up w/ the current b&r run even though it is. admittedly very slow w/ some weird dialogue #i read it for the damian content more than anything. also nikas back so that's neat :] #idk I have a feeling that after absolute power shakes out we might get some more creative team switch ups #so if anyone at dc is interested in taking over the reigns on b&r...that could be very neat #mine

Summer vacation, family roadtrips, mysterious landscapes, maybe dimension travel and emotional elves... Just normal things one experiences after finishing another semester at the university. Okay, maybe the last two isn't that normal. It certainly wasn't for those in the minivan. After falling - literally - into another dimension with nothing more than the clothes they brought for a camping trip - now gone wrong - they embark on a journey to get back to their homeworld. Of course, things aren't as easy as they seem... Except this isn't easy, why is everything on fire, who are those dudes with bad dental and why did their ears suddenly start to grow and why is this rock shining? Maybe they shouldn't have listened to twinkly-eyed old men...

WARNING!: This is pure crack-cocain. That halfway through planning became sentient, ate a Xanax and is now having feelings. Also decided to have foreigner names cuz why not.
