Do you condemn the murder of children? Or is it complicated when it’s middle eastern children? When it’s brown children? When it’s Muslim children? Is it complicated when they don’t speak English? When you can’t understand their cries for help? Is it complicated when the news tells you it is? When they lie? Is it complicated because you can’t let go of the idea that your friends and your politicians know everything, or is it complicated because you don’t care for the lives dying in this genocide?

The evidence is undeniable by anybody with a shred of morals and a brain at all. Only the uneducated, stupid, ignorant, or evil continue to support the Israeli government’s war crimes, genocide, and apartheid state. It isn’t antisemetic to support Palestine, it’s the intellectually and morally correct stance. Free Palestine, fuck Israel.

#also not all Palestinians are Muslim #which wasn’t something I was intending to say there #and I hold no hate in my heart for Judaism #the state of Israel does not represent Judaism or the religious nation of israel #genocide #this is genocide #end the genocide #stop the genocide #gaza genocide #stop genocide #free palestine #gaza #free gaza #palestine #gaza strip #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #israel is a terrorist state #palestine will be free

Your misery’s the whole point! It’s too much fun to watch

Themes include: Chuck won, Dean Winchester is doomed by the narrative, it runs in the family, daddy issues, the cycles of violence, Dean never wanted the life he had, destiel is canon but Dean never got to say it because Chuck is in charge, & nothing ever really ends 🫶🏻

Would you classify Machete as neurodivergent at all? Like in an autistic way? Or is it just the overwhelming ambition, trauma, and anxiety?

I think I've projected so many of my own autistic traits on him over the years, chances are he's at least a little bit on the spectrum.

#your ocs tend to mirror facets of yourself more often than not #whether you want or intend it to be that way or not #I think #I'm a little hesistant to assign a whole bunch of specific labels on him though #because if I say “this character is ace” there are people who will start to view them as ace representation #or autism representation or gnc representation or italian representation or catholic representation #what have you #and if character x represents thing y #I'm worried eventually someone will show up and say “your character represents autism wrong/badly” #even though we're talking about one person's highly personal oc and not like a commercial product #I don't know I'm just overthinking probably #but yes back to your original question you're probably correct to assume he has some neurodivergency going on #he doesn't know #nobody knows #it's late 1500s #and he has learned to mask well #answered #ephemeralprince #Machete

i'm actually unnaturally excited for the ascendacy festival scenes i need to see this shitty play so bad

I'm honestly so stoked for it, if the Ascendancy Festival wasn't such a crux for several romance routes I would have written it by now! I absolutely need this play to be absolute dogshit narratively and accuracy-wise, but dressed in the most high-handed Shakespearean language I can muster so the whole city (outside of the people that it's based on) will go hog wild for it and demand constant encores and it becomes like THE cultural phenomenon of the year...

@davekatweek 2023, day 7: "beginnings"

(n.) the point in time or space at which something begins.

#quick thing just so i have posted SOMETHING for davekat week ^_^ i haven't forgotten them still... #i thought i'd do a more figurative take on this prompt. i was struck by the 'point in time or space' qualifier on the definition #like what would be the point in SPACE where a RELATIONSHIP begins. so this is how i thought to represent that #as in. a little tuch #also by 'quick thing' do read 'almost three-hour thing' yeah this took longer than intended #but it turned out good and it's a not even a weeknight so. who give a shit. #i'm fascinated by definitions at the moment. i posted a oneshot fic recently and the summary was a definition. now i'm doing this shit #idk i guess i¨m on a definitions kick rn even though they're like cliché. frankly i do not care #ope my headphones just died #i'll take that as a sign. #enjoy! ^_^ happy davekat week #davekat #davekat week #davekat week 2023 #homestuck #homestuck fanart #karkat vantas #dave strider

Not sure if this will mean anything to you but my sister has always had trouble viewing y/n s in the dca fandom as anything other than masculine due to how people draw them. Your y/n s are some of the few where my sister genuinely views them as nonbinary without issue.

When it comes to designing visually nb y/n s i think you probably do some of the best ones.

I hope you have a good day/night dear. Take care

Aaaa thank you QwQ

I get that a lot tbh

Like I've heard a couple people say they see a lot more femanine atyle Y/Ns while others say its a vast majority of masc y/ns

I feel like androgynous or more nonbinary designs make it a bit easier to project different gender identities (for me at least) and I don't want it to feel like it leans too much one way or the other usually so that its easier for people to enjoy it and not be kinda turned off by a more gendered design

But I appreciate the affirmation a ton!! 💕

#sorry if i sounded to gripey in the last ask #i just want everyone to feel represented and included #and making unique and interesting but limited feature designs like that is kind of hard #i just worry things dont come out how i intended #but also enby Y/Ns my beloveds #anyway im rambling #oops #nerves got the better of me #maybe i came off too defensive #anyway bye #scuttling away #askbox #ask starr

Wels checks the controls on the cryo chamber one last time. It’s correctly using the power system from the pog he needed to make it, it’s almost completely full of trader cores, it’s ready to create an eternal, and there, right there, is the place he can put in the name of the thing he wants to clone to fight for him. Everything looks completely normal. If he were to call Iskall right now, the man would probably say that Wels is calling him for nothing and is being paranoid, because he would be, because the cryo chamber is normal.

It should work just like the skill says it should, Wels thinks. Create an ‘eternal’. Create a cloned not-quite-person to fight for him in the vaults and provide certain bonuses to make it easier to fight. Basically a robot made out of flesh. Slightly disturbing, but hey, after seeing a vault fighter with a familiar face for the third or fiftieth time, Wels is pretty used to the vault gods going for slightly disturbing. It goes with the territory. He’s over it.

There is absolutely no way this should go wrong.

He puts Helsknight in the name plate and waits.

It’s a bit strange, watching the figure he’d fought appear in the cryo chamber. Hilarious, almost. After looking around to make sure it’s still working correctly, Wels breathes out deeply. Well. He’d been worried for nothing, right? Flesh robot. Nothing bizarre happening. There’s an eternal in there, and he can check its stats and set it to have a withering cloud and give it gear and sure, it looks like Wels’s nightmare dark self, but that’s the point. Hard to be afraid of something he starts to associate with safety. Baby steps.

He laughs to himself. He goes about cleaning up his base. The eternal, sleeping in its glowing cryo chamber and wearing its black armor, haunts him over his shoulder.

...maybe he can put the thing in some of the dumber vault armor he’s found. Like, isn’t there a flamingo one? Imagining Helsknight wearing a pool floaty makes Welsknight laugh to himself. Yeah. Even better first step in his slightly messed-up game of exposure therapy, here.

He hums. Besides, if it goes wrong, it’s not like this is a multiplayer world. Nope. Singleplayer. Wels can fight to his highest power and no one but himself will get hurt. It’s nice like that.

Steadily, he relaxes. Yeah. Not as terrible of an idea as he thought. Potentially a hilarious one. Plus, the withering cloud will be very handy in the vault against large groups of mobs and bosses alike. He thinks. He’s still trying to figure out how to optimize all of this stuff. He’s not very good? And he’d just died in a vault earlier and he’s rebuilding so he didn’t have that much good stuff to give his eternal -

- there’s a sudden banging sound.

Welsknight whirls around. Inside the cryo chamber, Helsknight’s eyes are open. He bangs against the side of the chamber again. The acrylic holds true. For a moment, Welsknight just stares, which is long enough for Helsknight to stop banging against the container and look Wels dead in the eyes.

The glare Helsknight gives him is worse than any Wels has seen before.

Wels laughs hysterically. No way this should go wrong. Right. Of course. Tempting fate, right there.

“Hello, Helsknight,” he says.

Helsknight opens his mouth. Through the cryogenic fluid and the chamber, however, he can’t say anything. He settles back to a glare. Wels stares for a while longer.

“...you can’t get to me from there,” Wels says. It’s a revelation.

Helsknight bangs the acrylic chamber again. He glares harder.

“Genuinely, I can’t get you out. I have to be in a vault for that. The ability doesn’t even work in the overworld. And honestly, I can just not summon you. That’ll... that’ll work,” Wels says slowly. He walks up to the side of the cryo chamber and slowly does an inspection of it. Everything looks normal. Right. The mistake was just... giving something his shadow self’s name and visage. Give a devil a vessel and it’ll appear or something. Right. He won’t make this mistake again.

Or...

...he thinks of the original reason he’d done this, and he thinks of what Helsknight claims to be.

He reaches the front of the cryo chamber and sits down, cross-legged, in front of it. Helsknight looks at him, baffled.

“Of course, it wouldn’t help me at all not to actually use my eternal. That cost good skill points. So... hello, Hels. I know you can’t talk easily right now. I’ll... ask yes or no questions, then. Nod for yes, shake your head for no. Care to negotiate?”

Helsknight just stares.

“I can leave you in there, but believe it or not, that wasn’t my intent to begin with. This was always about confronting... okay. Look. No tricks. Let’s negotiate. For however long you’re still in my eternal there, at least. I don’t know how that works.”

After a long moment, Helsknight nods.

Wels isn’t sure what emotion he feels at that. It’s probably not relief, but he’s not sure if it’s anything else, either.

“Right. First up. I can really only summon you in vaults. Lets set ground rules for that and go from there,” Wels says, and he takes a deep breath, and he begins.

#welsknight #helsknight #vault hunters #a bee fic #so the beginning of this feels a LITTLE stilted. it's not perfect. but i have... thoughts. #and this is my means of getting them out of my head #this is how i process meta thoughts. either unhinged rant or Unplanned Ficlet #anyway the thought is that wels went 'haha making my eternal helsknight will allow me to more easily confront what he represents' #not intending to summon HELSKNIGHT helsknight just intending to create a thing that looks like him to Work Through Some Shit #unfortunately. we know what likes to inhabit clones of wels #...of course this may be a better working their shit out method than the original one.

Haruka’s victim / butterflies / my interpretation of haruka’s murder

Inspired by bluuepink07’s amazing yuno post!

https://www.tumblr.com/blueepink07/731734712212668416/i-just-noticed-that-this-part-from-yunos-door?source=share

so before I get into the butterflies I want to establish how I interpret haruka and his victims relationship.

Its almost certain that haruka’s victim was his friend rather then a family member even though prisoners can lie I don’t see a reason to doubt haruka here so I’m concluding that she’s his friend.

I also believe haruka went to see fire works with her and that this mv shows them watching them

haruka talks alot about his weaknesses about not living up to expectations we see this consistently

But haruka implies he wasn’t always seen like this

So at some point something changed haruka got diagnosed? was devolving as fast? Or something else which is probably when the family get the dog. Idk if this is common in real life but it is some what a troop in fiction of getting pets for children how are struggling I think his mother bought it in hopes of it helping him become a “normal child” and we know how it goes from there…

Later he meets his victim and I think she saw how lonely he was and wanted to befriend him or something like that and at first haruka loves the attention

but what I think happened is his mother starts giving her attention.

We already know haruka’s mother wanted a girl and haruka’s friend was probably what she had wanted in a child

He finds it unfair and doesn’t want to lose the love of his mother to his friend and he already knows that killing the dog gave him attention and he probably saw this as some kind of betrayal

so kills her okay know I’v covered the generally accepted stuff now we’re on the same page time to get into this symbolism nonsense!

I think that the dead haruka and the butterfly are both representative of his victim.

I think haruka kills his younger self out of guilt that her life had more value so he should have been the one to die but also he see’s his victim as his replacement , his victim as himself as a child , the version of him when his mother still loved him as the version of himself that could be loved. She is a loveable version of him.

something bluuepink07 pointed out her post was this symbolism around butterflies

This and that butterflies can symbolise wishes this the main reason I think haruka’s friend reached out to him because he was lonely

she grained his wish of not being lonely of being loved as a “weakling” by being his friend but also he thought killing her would grant his wish of being loved by his mother and because he killed her he went to milgram a place where he gets attention she with her death further granted his wish. Butterflies can change , butterflies are beautiful , they can be loved and appreciated but haruka?

#im not gonna look at metamorphosis of a weakling title the same am I #He changed in t1 - t2 he’s friends with muu the queen if bug symbolism and his victim possibly also has bug symbolism #I was wondering for ages why they had that lingering shot on the butterfly and though It probably was intended as mu I like the idea #Of it representing his friend and wish better #I hope haruka’s trail 3 expands more on his friend I’m honestly pretty curious about her #Milgram #haruka sakurai #Haruka’s guilt/panic? Seems to represented by flowers in weakness so I think that could tie into this nicely
