Sound familiar?
"After the First World War, the map of Europe was re-drawn and several new countries were formed. As a result of this, three million Germans found themselves now living in part of Czechoslovakia.
When Adolf Hitler came to power, he wanted to unite all Germans into one nation.
In September 1938 he turned his attention to the three million Germans living in part of Czechoslovakia called the Sudetenland. Sudeten Germans began protests and provoked violence from the Czech police. Hitler claimed that 300 Sudeten Germans had been killed. This was not actually the case, but Hitler used it as an excuse to place German troops along the Czech border.
Things that happened in September 1938:
Sept 7. On instructions from Hitler, Konrad Henlein broke off negotiations with the Czech government. Allegations of Czech police brutality at Moravská Ostrava were used as an excuse
Sept 7. A famously controversial editorial appeared in The Times which recommended giving Hitler what he wanted because "the advantages to Czechoslovakia of becoming a homogenous State might conceivably outweigh the obvious disadvantages of losing the Sudeten German districts of the borderland."
Sept 13. French Prime Minister Édouard Daladier asked Neville Chamberlain (leader of Czechoslovakia) to make the best deal he could with Hitler.
Sept 20. The Czechoslovak government rejected the Anglo-French proposal in a note explaining that acceptance would mean that Czechoslovakia would be put "sooner or later under the complete domination of Germany."
Sept 20. Hitler met with the Polish ambassador Józef Lipski and told him that Germany would support Poland in a conflict with Czechoslovakia over Teschen. Hitler also said he was considering shipping Europe's Jews to a colony (Israel, a colony for Europe's displaced Jewish population would be established in 1948) and expressed hope that Poland would cooperate with such a plan. Lipski replied that if Hitler could solve the Jewish question, the Poles would build a monument to him in Warsaw
September 26. In the Berlin Sportpalast, Hitler made a speech threatening Czechoslovakia with war. "My patience is exhausted", Hitler declared. "If Beneš does not want peace we will have to take matters into our own hands.
Sept 27th. The French government announced that France would not enter a war purely over Czechoslovakia. Neville Chamberlain gave a radio address saying, "However much we may sympathize with a small nation confronted by a big and powerful neighbor, we cannot in all circumstances undertake to involve the whole British Empire in a war simply on her account. If we have to fight it must be on larger issues than that
Sept 27. President Franklin Roosevelt writes to German Chancellor Adolf Hitler regarding the threat of war in Europe. The German chancellor had been threatening to invade the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia and, in the letter, his second to Hitler in as many days, Roosevelt reiterated the need to find a peaceful resolution to the issue.
Sept 29. German Führer Adolf Hitler, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, French Prime Minister Édouard Daladier and Italian Duce Benito Mussolini met in Munich to settle the Sudetenland crisis. Czechoslovakia was not invited, neither was the Soviet Union.
Sept 30. Munich Agreement: At 1 a.m., the four powers at Munich agreed that Czechoslovakia would cede the Sudetenland to Germany by October 10. The territorial integrity of the rest of Czechoslovakia was guaranteed by all signatories. Neville Chamberlain flew back to Britain and declared "peace for our time"
I think we all deeply need to reconsider what we were taught about WW2. The allies who "saved" everyone from Hitler's camps are also the Same People who allowed him to get so much power in the first place.
Closer looks at these histories show they had their own motives for allowing it just like Biden does today. FDR & Biden are actually mirroring each other really well considering they're separated by time and death. FDR was pleading and asking Hitler to please stop doing war until Pearl Harbor cuz they had a good relationship like that :) Yeah, so all he really did up to that point was play arms dealer for France and Britain because he didn't wanna jeopardize his relationship with Germany by Directly getting involved.
Yeah.
See what I said about it sounding familiar?
And can I remind y'all that Hitler didn't start by saying he hated Jewish people. No.
You know what his plan was at first? A "Greater Germany" that would unify Germans across the territories that Germany was forced to concede after WW1.

.....Y'all remember this image?
Tumblr media
Fascists and dictators and warmongers come in all shapes, sizes and belief systems, but you can always recognize a Fascist Supremacist by the thinly veiled expansion genocide being done in the name of their people. And the guys who help them are always trying to gaslight you about how things are "It's not that bad"
All this to say: get the fuck up and make sure history doesn't keep repeating itself because it's starting to
Y'all are sitting there asking how the Holocaust could happen and Palestinians are asking why nobody is fucking doing anything.
These are related questions.
Get up and do something. Yeah it is crazy that you're going to work when a genocide is happening...so don't!!! So many people are scared of losing their comfort because of what MIGHT happen if it's for nothing, but I'm BEGGING y'all to ask yourselves what headlines you'd rather read about the 1930's-40's and make those real.
"Mob storms parliament, stops the Munich Agreement," "Citizens of (anywhere) create Organization to protect Jewish, Black, and Homosexual peers in opposition to state sponsored violence. Quote: These are my neighbors and Nazis can't have them." "Meet the University Students who chased Nazis off campus." "'We Couldn't Do Nothing' say arrested group of women who beat a Gestapo officer with a clothing iron." "'If they can't afford us, they can't afford war': How global strikes and the lack of scabs are changing the the future of war" "'I'm afraid to Sleep' American Nazis restless after serial arsonist publishes their addresses in the paper"
Germans literally tried to assassinate Hitler. Like several times. We need to step it up.
There are SO MANY things we can do if we can just agree that none of us will be doing them alone! You are NOT powerless to stop this war just because you aren't in Palestine!!!

Or, how an otherwise incredibly private man came out to the world because when I play-tested his first challenge he physically refused to flirt with women.
Kiss Me in Komorebi 🌹 New Save+
Below you'll find an explanation of why I'm starting this Challenge from the ground up, an apology for my former applicants, and the form to follow for your submissions! Thank you for indulging me for so long in my obsession with this blorbo of mine.
Why the plus? Because otomes will smack lil' plus signs on updated versions of their dating games, and I'm a dork.
Deadline for applications is April 1st! 🌸
Let's be real - I bit off a little more than I could chew the first time around! This new version of KMIK will feature gameplay-heavy storytelling with posed scenes in-between!
I want to make it up to the applicants who waited so long to see this Bachelor Challenge come to fruition, and I genuinely want Daniel to have a fair shot at meeting someone truly meant for him - so I'm opening twenty one slots: seven for my former Contestants (two of which are taken by Daithi Calloway and Josiah Bolton), seven for my former Outsiders, and seven slots for new sims! Of course, the final number will be decided by the number of slots filled!
These three houses will rotate group dates and challenges with Daniel as he whittles down the numbers. In-universe, Dan hates the spotlight of fame, and was an incredibly private man (bar his new cult following on SimTok) before being influenced to be the star of his own Bachelor Challenge by his (well-meaning) agent and siblings. He went into this in the hopes that the contracted work would mean he'd not have to worry about his mother's health bills or his nieces and nephews' college funds for a little while.
However, when he got actual applications in, pictures of real sims who had applied just for the chance to meet him, to fall in love with him... well, it gave him a cold shock of reality. After a period of radio silence, the studio released a statement that said Daniel was deeply sorry, but that he wanted to give this a fair shot, and that meant he'd have to be more open and honest about himself than he was ever comfortable being.
🌸 THE APPLICATION 🌸
Name: Age: (lifestage and number, please) Traits: Aspiration: - please feel free to include any fun facts about your sim that you'd like to list! - i'm a dork and i love writing prompts based on the autonomous actions sims choose in-game. developing your sims' skills and likes will help them act more like themselves! - i will be using height sliders when i can, so feel free to include your sim's height! (for posing/gameplay purposes)
Please tag your application with #kmikapp! 🌸
Though I am excited for this clean start, I do want to apologize to all of my former applicants - both for the time it took for me to go through the acceptance process, and the time it took you waiting for me to get back to my desktop... only to learn that the sims you made weren't even going to be used. Believe me, I am no stranger to the loss of a Challenge sim: and I hope that by offering you all an automatic spot in this new save, I can make it up to you a little!
The two existing male contestants (Daithi Calloway by @buglaur and Josiah Bolton by @retro-plasma) will remain in the competition, seeing as they were already written to participate as contestants. But given that I'm forgoing the Outsiders concept for the ease of the Bachelor Challenge format, I thought I would offer all of my Outsider applicants the chance to make contestants! As some of my former participants are inactive, I thought this was the best way to reach out - I am really going to be better about talking one-on-one, though.
ANYWAY, I'm so excited to go on this journey with Daniel, and I can only hope you guys are as eager to see what awaits us as I am! Thank you for reading this far - let's try this again, shall we? 🌹
@hauntedtrait @kawaiishitty @wastelandwhisperer @occultpuppy @gothoffspring @foxsimthings @king-tower @morrigan-sims @akitasimblr @wormsimblr @10000and1dreams

THE SPIDER-WOMAN && THE SHROUD .
Tumblr media
(** Fair warning, this is a bit of a long post due to pictures**) To start off, the way they first encounter each other is just so perfect ⸺ Max just flat out VULCAN NERVE PINCHES her while she's at her receptionist job. And the fact it works. It's Spider-Woman's weakness and that's simply just hilarious to me.
Then after meeting each other properly ( he breaks into her house while she's in the shower ), he stays the night on her couch. In the morning, she wakes up to find him cooking her some breakfast. . . 🥺🥺
Tumblr media
❝ Ms. Drew ❞ just tickles me coming from him idc.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I Love The Way They FLIRT.
❝ If you're embarrassed to hold hands ⸺ ❞ actually teasing her rn. Can't believe he took her hand after using it to blast someone please.
Tumblr media
AND IT !! WORKS !!! This is what she's thinking in that moment.
Tumblr media
No comment really this is cute af ❤️
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Read this as you will :))) U ask me, it's because he would Blush A Lil. Also I just. . . ❝ Mr. Shroud ❞ ❝ Ms. Spider ❞ 😌🖤
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Literally INSISTS on taking her out for steak and wine !!! Could have suggested anything else but that's the first dinner he thinks of. ( truly tragic they didn't draw them out to dinner and there's a time skip instead 😔 ).
Tumblr media
While they are waiting for their targets, he listens to her and tries to Ease Her Woes for over an hour. . .
Tumblr media Tumblr media
❝ See you in the dark, babe. ❞ GIGGLING !!! Needs someone just as melodramatic as her.
One of those SHIELD agents, for the record, is Jerry LOL.
Tumblr media
I MEAN COME ON.
A long time later, when Jessica basically fkin dies, she requests Magnus wipes the memories of those who knew her. They all remember her in some form, though vaguely, distantly. . . But Max just KNOWS. . .
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
:') 🥹
Look, I gotta include the bit below bc I love the way he gd throws himself off the roof without second thought because he sensed her ghost.
Tumblr media
❝ anyway she was gone by the time the lovesick fool saved himself ⸺ ❞
Tumblr media
I mean ⸺
Tumblr media
After a hellish battle with Morgan Le Fay, he and the rest of the present Avengers are able to help save Jessica Drew's life. And there he is. . . Holding Her Hand. . .
Tumblr media
Below is unfortunately the last time they are seen together for a looong time ( fkin 1984 to 2023 !! 😭 ). And it's just so damn adorable.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Her powers are gone at this time, they start to come back at a later date. Yet still such confidence in her !! Love him !!
Dr. Strange is watching this whole thing from afar, and the comment he makes about them, I ⸺
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ME TF TOO STEPHEN !!!
The most recent time they've been together was pretty Bare Bones flirtation wise :(((( given the Dire Situation™️.
But we do have this. . .
Tumblr media
It's just so soft. . .

|| okey since Taco just pointed a gun toward me in my inbox on what i think furina's constellation are. I'll start first on what i think Animula Choragi is for me.
so animula choragi was translated to Little Souls of Choregos or conductor of little souls. but i did my own research and my thoughts about this is that mihoyo had given two meanings to furina's constellation name and it depicts in her role in the Archon quest ( my thoughts only)
so Animula when looked for definition it really means ' little souls' .
but when we translate choragi it has two meanings. 1. The leader of a group or movement
we can easily say that if we connect this two together it simply means that furina ( animula) (little soul) is the leader (choragi) of the group ( fontaine ) and we can leave it to that but if we use the second meaning of Choragi. It means.
2. One who undertook the expense of providing the chorus in ancient Greek drama or Someone who provides the stage equipment and theater costumes or someone who provides the necessary equipment for the performance of a chorus or an entire play. (or basically the sponsor).
If we added the animula and this meaning of choragi together. The meaning of Animula choragi's translation will change into something like this. "A small soul that provides everything necessary for a performance"
instead of " conductor of little souls"
which makes sense since furina is the one who provides everything for the chorus of the finale in the archon quest. She is the one who sponsored all of the things needed for focalors plan to be full proof. She is the small soul who provided her own self that is necessary -- an offering to the trial, so the chorus of the trial (play) would be a success. she is the one who found neuvilettte, the one who acted as an archon for 500 years , the one who involve traveler -- the one who made sure no secrets will be revealed until the later point.
so yeah my first take is that furina's constellatio name has two different meanings, and it really depicts furina's role on the story quest but we didn't know it just back then.

If you watch the stream later can you maybe share your thoughts about that part?🥺
I just finished watching it and dfdgfgfsdfkkfjsd many many thoughts!! 😭 I mean, I've been smiling and swooning about the whole thing stupidly since the morning but now I'm just a puddle on the floor 🥺
First of all, his fucking smile when he was texting Olli, it's too much cuteness 😭😭😭 And then he kept checking his phone to see if Olli had answered?! Like, constantly?! Aleksiiiiiiii your crush is showing SO bad it's almost embarrassing (except that it's not, it's just friggin' cute) 💞 The DELIGHT on his face whenver there was a new message from Olli, and dffgddffsfsssf can we also just take a moment to imagine OLLI in the dead of night being so completely down with the idea of looking for spooky stories for Aleksi's stream, because it's not like he had anything better to do, apparently? Come ooooooooooooon guys what are you doing 😭😭😭😭😭 What was the time even at this part? Getting close to 1 AM? Oh god, imagine Olli just sitting in the dark browsing the internet for something suitable for Aleksi's stream, and Aleksi didn't even have to ask, Olli suggested it himself 🥺 Because he's a supportive boyfriend like that 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
My headcanon for what happened afterwards is that they kept texting each other about how Aleksi's stream went and just about anything, maybe there was even a late-late-night phone call with soft, low voices... 💓 I'm so happy they'll be back on tour soon and they can resume their late-night talks in person again 💕
Imagine if Olli stayed at Aleksi's the night before they fly to the US and they did a stream together from Aleksi's studio?? I would combust 😭
Other noteworthy moments I found from the stream include (apologies for no timestamps):
Aleksi mentioned something about his "biggest fear" but didn't want to elaborate because "then it might happen" or smth -> what if his biggest fear is to fall for a bandmate but he can't even think about it because that would mean he'd have to admit that has already happened 😭 /shippyglasses
At some point he was browsing his phone and said there was a video of him cycling -> I bet Allu and Olli send each other silly cycling videos 🥰
Also, a fic idea popped into my head: Karl the studio ghost is real and he's trying to spook Aleksi and his "very close friend", but he fails because Aleksi and Olli are too lost in each other hanging at Aleksi's studio 🥰

The woman falls without a sound, 250 feet straight down toward the roiling black water of the Golden Gate. She never reaches it because Spider-Woman is there to catch her.

i love it especially when it's their first time meeting each other.

@vigilantdesert liked for a starter!
Tumblr media
¯`°¤.¸.¤ ¯`°¤.-- ♕ II "Urbosa. I fear I may pass out..." She stumbled as her words faltered, sweat dripping from the scales of her forehead. Her Lightscale Trident slipped from her fingertips, her grip too weak to continue holding it. The weapon clattered to the floor, drawing the attention of the Gerudo warriors training with her when she started to lose her balance. With her arms outstretched, she tried to catch herself, but it was too late. She crashed to the warm stone floor, her body falling limp as soon as she tumbled to the ground.
Her ears were ringing and everything went black. The only sound she could hear were the worried shouts and sounds of the Gerudo warrior's muffled running as they came to her side, yet she couldn't comprehend anything else happening around her. She couldn't see and couldn't feel her body, yet she knew the hot rays of the sun was unrelentingly burning her scales.
She needed water. Fast.
The desert climate proved too treacherous for a Zora, no matter how powerful or stubborn one was. Perhaps Mipha had overexerted herself. Or perhaps she overestimated just how unforgiving the desert could be for someone used to wetter climates.
But it was that stubbornness that was her undoing. The Gerudo warriors were tough. Strong. The most powerful soldiers outside of Hyrule's army. She wanted to be like them. Like Lady Urbosa. So she thought it best to train with them in an environment she was not used to. She thought that would make her stronger too.
Oh, how wrong she'd been.
