Wounded Knee, 1890

On this day, December 29th, in 1890, US Army soldiers massacred approximately 300 Native Americans at Wounded Knee in South Dakota after a botched attempt to disarm them. Over half of the victims were women and children. Unbelievably nineteen members of the Seventh Calvary were awarded Medals of Honor for their actions that day.

Witch History & the origins/culture of England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales

I never understood why modern day witches seem to be willfully ignorant of Witch history from the (14th-18th Century) in various countries including England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales & why they act like it never happened or they only focus on their country of origin. The witch-trials happened in various countries, men & women were accused of witchcraft but some of the accused never admitted or confessed to being a witch under duress due to torture, I respect their resilience & courage. I'll never understand why some disrespectful people claim white people supposedly don't have any culture, but England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales is Celtic, Druid, Pagan in it's origin, why would we have Stonehenge in Wiltshire if there were no Celtic people, Druids or Pagans? It is a place of worship, it is sacred. 💖😊 Why do we have places associated with witchcraft or witch's (The Ancient Ram Inn, The Witch's Cage, The Hellfire Club Caves, Loftus Hall, Leap Castle) if we supposedly have no culture? England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales all have their own individual mythologies, folklore, Lore, Urban Legends, Unexplained mysteries, Paranormal encounters, Cryptids, Witch History. This is our culture, our beliefs, I think people should educate themselves about all Witch History instead of having a biased opinion, perception, attitude, mentality & confirmation bias because they choose to only know one aspect of Witch History that's just based on their country of origin. It's narcissistic, boastful, arrogant, attention-seeking, dismissive of other countries, cultures, because you think your country of origin is better than the rest of the world for whatever reason 🙄😒😑

A lot of things that are celebrated now are "borrowed from Paganism, so it's witchcraft. I am aware that some of the people that were originally accused of being a witch were a very early version of a healer, botanist, physician, apothecary, herbalist. They were thought of as suspicious since not everyone at the time had knowledge of herbalism and how to use plants, herbs, spices for medicinal purposes.

The werewolf trials were just as interesting the (14th-18th Centuries) is a very interesting period of time, due to mass hysteria, people consuming ergot on rye bread which is a fungus that makes you hallucinate when consumed. So it makes sense that people thought that anyone they were suspicious, fearful, distrusting of was a witch, werewolf, or they sold their souls to the devil and consorted with demons.

The titanic ship was built by hundreds of people, and its captain said: "This ship will never sink" and it sank from its first voyage.

While Noah's Ark was made by one person, and he said: "Embark therein; in the name of Allah [are] its course and its anchorage. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."

The whole world around it drowned, and the ship was protected.

This is what the result is when the trust is in the Lord.

There's a version of the "don't go grocery shopping while hungry" rule specifically for writers where you should never under any circumstances be allowed to touch your draft within 3 hours of reading a really good story. Because sometimes when you read something great your head goes "fuck this is so much better than my stuff I should make that more like THIS instead!" Look at me. That's the devil talking and you should close the document NOW.

#you will make superficial edits that do not gell well with the rest of your work #and won't actually capture what you thought was so good about that story #close the doc. sit down. think about it for a while. inspiration is fine. getting a 'eureka' moment from another story is fine #but if you find yourself comparing your work one to one with someone else's and taking any differences to be flaws on your part then STOP #you will never write good stuff by trying to make it look less like you wrote it #writing #writing advice #guess who just had to go into her google doc history and undo a bunch of panic-induced edits #because she read a fic about the same characters she's writing for? #meeee. they aged badly within just a few hours of hindsight. learn from my mistakes #self-hatred is not a good motivation for creation #fic writing

As always, you radicals ruin it for the rest of us who just want to live their lives.

By radicals I mean the ones who are willing to use violence and terror to attack "preemptively" because of their "rights". And you have no qualms about regular citizens getting killed.

Even if you don't end up targeting or hurting them in collateral damage, the chaos itself will cause untold suffering.

Yes, of children, who deserve it the least.

Step back. Think. Is there a better way to solve besides violence? Do you think of the people who will be hurt or are you only thinking about yourselves? Have you actually really been hurt by anything? Is it really worth huring innocents for?

Auf ins Abenteuer Nordost mit Zwischenstopp

20. August 2022 6:22 Uhr Start in Stadthagen über Hannover und Berlin nach Warschau! Und weil ich dort noch nie war, wird direkt mal ein Zwischenstopp eingelegt.

Warschau empfängt mich mit 30°C und Sonne. Theoretisch super cool! Mit viel Gepäck, welches genauso schwer ist wie ich, etwas anstrengend. Also schnell ins Hostel, alles ablegen und die Stadt erkunden! Die Stadt wurde durch den 2. Weltkrieg fast vollständig zerstört und wurde später von der damaligen sowjetischen Regierung wieder aufgebaut. Daher erstrahlt Warschau in einem neuen restaurierten Glanz. Die Sowjetunion hat der Hauptstadt Polen auch ein Geschenk gemacht, welches die polnische Regierung nicht ablehnen durfte – den Kulturpalast. Auch das dunkelste Kapitel der jüngeren Geschichte ist in Polen allgegenwärtig: die Überreste vom Warschauer Ghetto.

Um 22:30 Uhr Sonntagabend ging es dann weiter mit dem Bus nach Riga! Ein Bild mit meinen Augenringen erspare ich euch. Dafür kommen die Tage Riga News - versprochen!

Kulturpalast

Oldtown

Königsschloss

Gedenkstätte: Grenze des Warschauer Ghettos

Your Ancient History, Written In Wax

-

Danny knew he should have put better security around the Sarcophagus of Eternal Sleep. It wasn’t even Vlad who opened it this time! The fruitloop was too busy doing his actual mayor duties because for some godforsaken reason, the man got re-elected.

No, it wasn’t Vlad. And it wasn’t Fright Knight, either. Nor the Observants. Who opened the Sarcophagus, then? Danny didn’t have time to find out as Pariah Dark promptly tore open a hole in reality and hunting Danny down.

The battle was longer this time. He didn’t have the Ecto-Skeleton, as that was the first thing Pariah had destroyed. The halfa had grown a lot over the past few years, and learned some new tricks, but apparently sleeping in a magic ghost box meant that Pariah had absorbed a lot of power. The bigger ghost acted like a one-man army!

Amity Park was caught in the middle of the battle, but the residents made sure it went no further than that. Vlad and the Fentons made a barrier around the town to keep the destruction from leaking. Sam, Tucker, and Dani did crowd control while Danny faced the king head-on.

Their battle shook the Zone and pulled them wildly between the mortal plane and the afterlife. Sometimes, residents noticed a blow from Pariah transported them to the age of the dinosaurs, and Phantom’s Wail brought them to an unknown future. Then they were in a desert. Then a blazing forest. Then underwater. It went on like that, but no one dared step foot outside of Amity. They couldn’t risk being left behind.

It took ages to beat him, but eventually, Danny stood above the old ghost king, encasing his symbols of power in ice so they couldn’t be used again. He refused to claim the title for himself. Tired as he was, Danny handed the objects off to Clockwork for safe keeping and started repairing the damage Pariah had done to the town. The tear he’d made was too big to fix, for now, so no one bothered. They just welcomed their new ghostly neighbors with open arms and worked together to restore Amity Park.

Finally, the day came to bring down the barrier. People were gathered around the giant device the Fentons had built to sustain it. Danny had brought Clockwork to Amity, to double check that they had returned to the right time and dimension.

Clockwork assured everyone that they were in the right spot, and only a small amount of time had passed, so the Fentons gave the signal to drop the shield.

Very quickly did they discover that something was wrong. The air smelled different. The noise of the nearby city, Elmerton, was louder and more chaotic. Something was there that wasn’t before, and it put everyone on edge.

Clockwork smiled, made a remark about the town fitting in better than before, and disappearing before Danny could catch him.

Frantic, Danny had a few of his ghost buds stay behind to protect the town while he investigated.

He flew far and wide, steadily growing horrified at the changes the world had undergone. Heroes, villains, rampant crime and alien invasions. The Earth was unrecognizable. There were people moving around the stars like it was second nature and others raising dead gods like the apocalypse was coming. Magic and ectoplasm was everywhere, rather than following the ley lines like they were supposed to.

Danny returned to Amity.

The fight with Pariah had taken them through space and time. Somewhere along the way, they had changed the course of history so badly that this now felt like an alien world.

How was he supposed to fix this?

In the Watchtower, The Flash was wrapping up monitor duty while Impulse buzzed around him, a little more jittery than usual. The boy was talking a mile a minute, when alarms started blaring an alarming green. Flash had never seen this alarm before, and its crackling whine was grating on his ears.

Flash returned to the monitor, frantically clicking around to find the issue, but nothing was popping up. No major disasters, no invasions, no declarations of war. Nothing! What was causing the alarm?

Impulse swore and zipped to a window, pressing his face against it and staring down at Earth. “Fuck! It’s today isn’t it? I forgot!”

“What’s today?” Flash asked. He shot off a text to Batman, asking if it was an error. The big Bat said it wasn’t, and that he would be there soon.

“The arrival of Amity Park. I learned about this in school; the alarm always gives me headaches.”

Flash turned to his grandson, getting his attention. “Bart,” he stressed. “What are you talking about?”

Impulse barely glanced over his shoulder. Now that Flash was facing him, he could see a strong glow coming from Earth. “The first villain, first anti-villain, and the first hero,” he said anxiously. “They all protect the town of the original metas. They’re all here.”

“Here? Now??”

“Yeah? They weren’t before, but they are now. The first hero said there was time stuff involved, which was what inspired me to start practicing time travel in the first place.”

“I’m not following.”

“It’s okay. We should probably go welcome them before they tear apart Illinois, though. The history I remember says that some of them freaked and destroyed a chunk of the Midwest during a fight with each other.”

“WHAT?”

#dpxdc #pondhead blurbs #liminal amity park #I’ve seen stuff like this in the mhaxdp fandom and I eat it up every time #basically the fight with Pariah caused the town to jump through time a little #and while they THOUGHT they were keeping everything in #shit leaked out and tainted those points in time #so technically #historically and genetically speaking #Amity Park is the origin point for the meta gene and Danny made history as the first hero #because Clockwork is a little shit #everyone embodies a basic ability and it has grown from there #the flash family are direct descendants of Dani (speed force Dani for the win) #Dash is the reason super strength exists #so on and so forth #go buck wild #bart learned about it briefly in history class in the 30th century #practically hero worships them #booster gold knows about them too but in contrast to Bart’s excitement #booster is fucking terrified because there was a period where Amity Park rebelled against the US government #and he’s from that specific time #he learned to fear phantom because he lived during that part while Bart is from farther in the future when those issues got resolved #guess who’s chosen to welcome the town? >:) #if you’re wondering what happened to the GIW #they turned into the branch Amanda Waller runs #Danny is the first hero #Vlad the first villain #and Dani the first anti hero #there’s an arc where Danny is trying to fix things but clockwork won’t let him into the timestream and all the heroes are horrified #because yeah Danny is the OG but if he goes back in time to fix his ‘mistake’ what will happen to them?

every time queer discourse surges on this site everyone is so quick to jump to “it was actually the evil lesbians who divided us” because y’all heard the term “political lesbian” and never bothered to figure out what that meant

#‘political lesbians’ were and are predominantly STRAIGHT WOMEN #and a good chunk are bi #what don’t you understand about these women thinking lesbianism is a CHOICE? that it’s only used by women as a reaction to the patriarchy? #like lesbians can’t possibly like women and not men for any reason that isn’t some deep-seated hatred for men? #they all think lesbianism is dirty and impure and here you people are saying that this is PROGRESSIVE #and that they actually think that lesbianism is some golden standard for its purity???? you guys are so fucking stupid oh my god #you go on and on about learning your queer history until it comes to lesbians and then you’re perfectly happy rewriting our culture #and narrative #wtf is wrong with you people #and y’all braindead mfs use this to act like men are actually oppressed by the meanie dykes #i hate y’all #but none of y’all actually give a shit about lesbians so i guess im yelling into a void #lesbophobia #top posts #neon talks #LOL at the fucking idiot who reblogged this and tagged it ‘misandry’ not sure how you got that from my post but i hope your day sucks <3

One of the things that most stuck with me is Bunny's nails having dirt under them when they find his body. Not only because the image of him desperately trying to claw at anything he could find not to fall down is very raw – but also because it means it really wasn't as immediate as I thought at first. It was fast but he absolutely did have enough time to think 'he's pushed me down I'm falling I'm going to die'. He didn't die painlessly on the spot but rolled all the way down the ravine bumping into rocks, bushes and everything else fully aware of what was happening and doing everything he could to stop it, and then eventually hit the ground.

#and then he spent 10 whole days buried in the snow so just.... imagine the state he was in when they pulled him out #also reading his letter to julian we learn that bunny had the feeling they wanted to murder him #so i'm sure he KNEW from the moment he saw them at the ravine #happy bunny corcoran month #tsh #the secret history #bunny corcoran

there's something i need to say and yall can boo me for it but deep in my heart i'll always know i'm correct: crowley already forgave aziraphale. like already would take him back at one flutter of his eyelashes. that's all.

#do i wish he wouldn't forgive so easily (tho i don't actually think aziraphale needs forgiveness since he didn't do anything wrong and #actually without his decision their love story would've been stuck as it was for more than 6000 years and also heaven would never change #without someone dismantling it and making it new) #yes i do wish that and i also wish he'd learn self worth but we gotta be realistic here he never once been able to stay mad at aziraphale #all those times they had fights where aziraphale was (mostly) in the wrong and rejected crowley what did crowley do? immediately come #CRAWLING and BEGGING back like pls yall this is why i don't read post s2 fics bc everyone suddenly seems to forget their whole canon #personalities and history w each other and it's annoying me so much like i get that we all are hoping crowley learns from his mistakes and #stops being so easy for aziraphale (not me tho) but realistically speaking it's just not gonna happen and once again aziraphale DIDN'T. DO. #ANYTHING. WRONG. yes he hurt crowley with his decision but CROWLEY HURT HIM WITH HIS TOO so if yall wants an apology dance it's gonna turn #into a waltz cause they'd both need to do it #good omens #good omens s2 #azicrow #crowley #aziraphale #aziracrow #ineffable spouses #good omens season 2 #ineffable husbands #go s2

Some random and totally useless facts about the ides of march in preparation for the stabbing main event

Caesar knew that people were conspiring against him and that they wanted to kill him but he ignored the warnings bc he basically went: i don’t care if they plan to kill me, they don’t have the audacity to actually go through with it

There was a prophecy that Caesar would be killed but he ignored that too

Caesar wanted to ditch the senate meeting bc his wife had a nightmare that something bad would happen and begged him to stay home. Decimus (the third of the main conspirators) convinced Caesar to come to the senate meeting

There were about 60 conspirators who agreed to help kill Caesar, the rest of the senators just stood by during the murder, no one really tried to help him

Riots broke out after the murder because the population generally liked Caesar

Caesar’s body was later burned at the stake

Nothing changed politically speaking because the conspirators failed to actually take over the government -> Brutus and Cassius (and many of the other conspirators) had to flee

Some sources say that Brutus was haunted by Caesar’s ghost and later impaled himself on his own sword to escape the guilt said ghost confronted him with

#the things you learn when you need to hold a presentation about caesars assasination in university #these are all from academic texts and articles about the ides of march #but you should still take them with a grain of salt bc i held that presentation in november and put all of this down from memory #i double checked none of these things #ides of march #caesar #julius caesar #brutus #history #ig don’t take this too seriously
