It took a white man burning himself, for the media to tell the truth.
It took 7 white people to be killed for the UNHRC to pass a resolution to ban selling arms to Israel.
The level, to which this world has dehumanized us, is incomprehensible to me.

i watch people react to the lotr movies on youtube sometimes - just for my personal relaxation - and this one guy just said "maybe this is presumptuous but why can't they just make a new, even stronger ring that controls all the other ones plus the one ring?" and, holy shit. why don't they just keep making even stronger rings. apart from all the lore and storytelling reasons for why that's not possible under those specific circumstances, i wanna send a complete stranger the wikipedia article for "arms race" so so so fucking badly 😂

The ceremony concluded with Qymaen’s blessing, who knelt with as much reverence as he could muster. His cloak weighed warm and heavy on his back as he waited for Malga Shapra to paint vertical streaks up through the eye sockets of his kakmusme clear into the wrappings of his dulhlava. His heart thumped in his ears and his scales buzzed in anticipation of their impending departure, but he swallowed his restlessness and bade his breaths settle to try and give the Malga’s blessing the appropriate attention.
“You’ve taken the brunt of Kalee’s burdens upon your shoulders, Khagan,” said Malga Shapra in a soft voice, “and have passed your expectations for yourself to the rest of our people. But I hope you will remember that you have nothing to prove to us that you have not already done.”
Qymaen bit his tongue. Derision had no place in a blessing ceremony, no matter how deserved. He refused to interrupt Malga Shapra, even if he couldn’t bring himself to agree with what he told him. His mask hid his tight lips and the skeptical tilt of his brows.
Finally, the Malga ended his blessing with the standard verse: “May the spirits of our ancestors watch over you and keep you and your warriors safe in battle, Qymaen jai Sahuldeem.”
“I will continue to honor their memory, Malga Shapra."
Chapter 7 of Part Five - Martyr of the Sahuldeem series is up! And thus marks the end of Part Five. Hopefully there will be some chapter art for this one. Thank you if you've stuck around and continued reading Sahuldeem for this long. The sixth and final part is just around the corner...I can barely believe it.

I knew it. Once we didn't hear back, I knew it. 😒 That girl and her family deserved better, as did the men who tried to save her. Martyrs all.

💛: What is a popular ship you just can't get behind, and why?
Ohhh man... I'm going to be murdered if I say "all of them" but. Well. I promise I'm not "different from the other girls" or something LMFAO I just typically can't get behind monogamous ships because they do not interest or intrigue me, usually? It takes some really compelling characters to pull it off in a way that will get me invested. And honestly, I REALLY hate in shipping fanfiction/etc where the shipped-characters-in-question are portrayed as feeling "more" for their partner (singular or plural) than the rest of the crew. I feel this way for One Piece and the strawhats specifically. Like, as soon as I see the "A missed their captain and their crew, but they realized that they missed B more" or "loved B more" I've clocked out. It's just fully not believable to me. Why does romantic always have to be more, instead of just different? This is separate from my bias as a polyamorous person, btw. I'm not fond of the idea that you HAVE to love your romantic partner MOST; Like if you're closer to your best friend than your partner then you've failed somehow?? Or like you're supposed to be less close to your friends once you have a partner?? That's insane to me. And SPECIFICALLY I think it doesn't fit these characters. If there's anyone on the crew that any of them feel "more" for than the others it's Luffy, and they ALL feel that way, and it doesn't interfere with their romantic relationships because that is silly. ...I realize this probably isn't the type of answer you were looking for, haha. For a simpler one: I don't really get the romantic chemistry behind zosan as a ship, unless they're in a polycule with other people. Which is weird, because enemies-to-lovers usually gets me! Also I don't get the romantic chemistry behind lawlu either.
💚: What does everyone else get wrong about your favorite character?
I have several favorite characters honestly, and I haven't been in the fandom long enough to know the most common opinions like that outside of some large-sweeping and very common ones. (So, it's hard for me to answer this question with Franky or Bon Clay.) So, I'll pick an example that involves two of my favorite characters (Usopp and Zoro) I feel very strongly about the platonic divorce arc (Water Seven), and I think a lot of people either don't really understand what Usopp did/was thinking, or don't really understand what Zoro did/was thinking, or both. Which sucks. "Get wrong" is a loaded term, since everyone's entitled to their own opinion/interpretation, ofc, but... I stand FIRM in my belief that if Zoro had not held the line like that, Usopp would not have been able to come back to the crew, and the crew wouldn't have survived it if he came back anyway. Zoro enforced that boundary BECAUSE he loved everyone involved, not because he "hated usopp's cowardice" or whatever the fuck. Usopp decided to leave, and Zoro held him to his word, and there is a lot of respect in that. And Usopp DID fuck up! Bad! He needed to apologize, and the Usopp fans out there who think "Usopp did nothing wrong/shouldn't have needed to apologize" need to unpack why they think so. This isn't to say Zoro and the others did everything right, either. EVERYONE fucked up there, but Usopp fucked up the most! Usopp stans I know there are few of us and we're used to him getting shit on by the fandom, but we need to accept that he really was at fault. And it's good to have a character in fiction who stumbles for understandable reasons, then pushes too far, and then is able to fix what they'd done and mend their relationships. That is a beautiful and important thing to have. (If anything, I think Usopp's apology should have been a little better, but that's just me.)
💙: Which character is not as hot as everyone else seems to think?
I could be here all day. :') I know anything is possible and different strokes for different folks, but I cannot believe THAT MANY people find Sanji and Law THAT attractive. Sanji's popularity baffled me more than law, but still. I know tattoos are hot but come on. Lets be serious. It's just us here I won't be mad tell me the truth
💜: Which character is way hotter than everyone else seems to think?
FOXY. SILVER FOX FOXY. IM IN LOVE WITH HIM DO YOU PEOPLE HEAR ME. SAYING IT LOUDER FOR THE PPL IN THE BACK, HE IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
For my other controversial picks I also think Franky, Jinbe, Mont Blanc, Brook, Big Mom, Blackbeard, Magelllan, World from that one movie, and Borsalino are attractive but those aren't as controversial -- I've seen a couple other people be as open about them -- but no one appreciates my husband. Cowards!!

You don’t care about it because it’s happening far away. You don’t think it can happen here.
It did happen here. The “here” you live in only exists because it happened here. You don’t even have to know what country I’m from and it still applies.
It can and will happen again if we don’t take collective action to stop it.
Click here for a curated list of active relief funds. Do your part, no matter how small. Boycott. Make yourself heard, because Israel and its supporters are doing everything to take Palestinians’ voices away. Amplify their voices in every way you can.
EDIT, BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE SAID:
Do not message me with links to a personal relief fund. I am poor and homeless. I cannot financially help you. I will not blindly repost links to fundraisers because I do not have the means or free time to properly vet your links for scams.
I am not ignoring you because I am a “performative liberal”. I am ignoring you because I refuse to let a single penny of aid go to a potential scammer. I am sorry but social media is rife with fake fundraisers and I get about ten DMs a day about this, many with a copy/paste script. I can’t possibly vet them all, and scammers depend on this.

wow. i guess i rly don't get it. i get most other things i can think of except martyrs
oh that is absolutely 100% fair. It’s incredibly specific, and it’s my favorite film but I’ve only ever recommended it to one (1) person irl haha.
I think the thing is that most people who watch it think that it’s just torture porn and, I mean, fair, but I think it’s a love story. Like I think the reason I latched into it so hard is that it’s about human connection even when the world contains nothing but relentless, unbearable suffering. It’s a queer(!) love story about how love doesn’t have to be reciprocated to be real, and the capacity to love someone unconditionally is something to hold onto when there’s nothing else. Even if it can’t save you or stop what’s happening around you, it’s still important.
And I think it’s an exceptionally good representation of trauma and doesn’t shy away from portraying the way certain things can fuck you up irreversibly. Which sounds fatalistic and cruel, but it’s also true, and it’s reassuring for someone to admit that.
Like, whatever that quote is about how horror is there to “disturb the comforted and comfort the disturbed” comes down to the fact that a lot of horror movies can be boiled down to “sometimes awful things can happen to people who don’t deserve them for no reason and they can’t be prevented”. And if you’re a person who’s had a pretty ok life so far, that sounds like a threat; but if you’re someone who’s gone through a lot of shit, especially at a young age, that can sound like “it wasn’t your fault, there was nothing you could have done about it, and you’re not responsible for deriving some kind of meaning from it”, you know?
(And I’m not saying that everyone who has trauma loves horror, that everyone who loves horror has trauma, or any related corollaries lol. Two of my best friends have PTSD, one of them watched Martyrs with me and the other one hates anything scary and loves cartoons and those are both 100% valid.)
Also just on a meta level, it’s weirdly reassuring to me that the writer/director was suicidal depressed (shocked pikachu face) and despite/because of that managed to create this extremely beautiful piece of art that made me feel less alone.
Anyway sorry that was more than I meant to write and less coherent bc I just woke up but thank you for coming to my ted talk!! I am actually incapable of shutting up about my special interests so please do not feel obliged to read All That

new favorite pastime is searching "Baiheng" on Twitter and seeing people tear each other apart on whether or not the Bailu = Baiheng theory is true.
And it is, but it's fun to see people so mad at the idea because they just aren't paying attention.
