#sheltering at a church

[theoppositeofprofound]

#israel #palestine #child death mention #sorry but this keeps messing me up #the children from the same families #the silly modernized names #the religious ones #the children who weren’t named yet #there’s an Al-amash in there #a former us rep named amash lost family #sheltering at a church #there is something about losing a name when you’ve just been given one #I have such mixed feelings about the usual brands of Look At This Sad Baby tragedy gloop #which so turns the worst moments of a child’s life into clicks #save the children fearmongering of all breeds is usually to be avoided #especially in an environment rife with anti-semitism #but there’s also a return of dignity from reading the names of the dead #and dead children have so few people who remember them to mourn #I’d encourage reading the document #there is nothing more devastating than the names of the dead

Imagine if the police stormed into southern Los Angeles in militaristic tanks. Bystanders watch in horror and shock as the police blast buildings and throw grenades into them.

"We are liberating this neighborhood from evil gang members," the police explain as children scream and cry. "They are using innocent people as human shields."

A man runs into the street with a bloodied child in his arms and without missing a beat a policeman shoots him.

"I knew he was a gang member because he's a man, and a non-white one to boot." The officer does not pay any mind to the child lying in a pool of blood. "We will keep shooting everything that moves until the gang members march to the police station and turn themselves in. At which point we will kill them. Given that knowledge, I'm sure their surrender is imminent. And if not, it will be their fault when I continue to shoot people. Not mine!"

"The gang members embedded themselves in the civilian population," he continues, "living in civilian houses and selling drugs and guns out of residential buildings, so what option do I have but to destroy everyone and everything here. I am but a helpless pawn. Do not deny it, lest I tell you about all the policemen killed by gang members, which I'm super sad about. We, the police, are the victims. We, and no one else."

Behind him a policewoman rams an apartment building with a bulldozer; it crumples. More screams--some from inside, from from outside as more fleeing people are shot down.

"Ah, how peaceful it will be when all the gang members are dead and no one feels rage or aggression towards our squadron." The police officer turns away as a woman weeps over her husband's body. "Now if you'll excuse me, I must set the corner store alight, shut off the utilities to the neighborhood, and raze the hospital. I have it on good authority that the Crips go there to tend their booboos."

(Free Gaza now.)

#gaza #palestine #satire #I mean it's obvious that Israel just calls everyone they kill 'Hamas' #remember how those elderly women taking shelter in a church #who the IDF sniped when they tried to get to the bathroom to pee #were 'Hamas spotters'?? #journalists are Hamas #doctors are Hamas #children are Hamas #calendars written in Arabic are Hamas #horses? more like HAMORSES better fire shells at them

liberal zionists, "pro-palestine" zionists (???? do you people know what an oxymoron is) and every other type of zionist are all zionists at the end of the day. they are fascists and genocidal freaks at heart no matter how much they love to larp as progressives

#it's sooooooo bad when people confined to a concentration camp get stripped of their most basic necessities #and then get indiscriminately SAVAGELY bombed for a month straight #hospitals residential areas schools mosques churches everything that could possibly serve as shelter #or a reminder of their existence and historical presence in this life is a valid target #and as a result tens of thousands have been brutally killed many are disabled for life countless are orphaned #and a whole lot more are about to fall victim to the dire humanitarian crisis there #but it isn't a genocide🥺 they haven't been wiped off the map yet🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Some Cyril appreciation featuring his mom:

#fe3h #fe16 #few3h #rhea #church of seiros #cyril #nabateans #i'll never understand why people seem to hate Cyril so much #the poor kid lost his parents at a very young age and had to learn how to survive on his own #he had to join the Almyran army only to become a slave of House Goneril #then a woman takes him away offers him food shelter and treats him like family #and would love nothing more for him to find his own path to happiness #and we know that for a fact thanks to his support with Seteth #they only want the best for him #but because of his past circumstances he still chooses to work hard to show how grateful he is to them #and because he's still scared that they might abandon him if he doesn't prove he can useful ig? even tho they won't #instead they let him take his time and find 'himself' and his desires at his own pace (meaning: without putting pressure on him) #so it's no wonder why Cyril loves Rhea and is so loyal to her #and like Cyril's personality is kinda great? he's smart hardworking and his honesty and sass gave us some of the best moments in this game

theories as to where Grace got the cigarette she was smoking after fucking Max's ghost:

she has actually secretly been an active smoker for a long time and always carries a pack with her

she bought a pack of cigarettes when she was on the run from the cops because she was stressed, and figuring that she had already disappointed the Lord by touching herself and lying to the police and dismembering a body, decided that she might as well relieve that stress by taking up smoking

Max died with a pack of cigs and a lighter on him and they stayed with him when he turned ghost and Grace pocketed them from his clothes after they had sex

she just found them in the school or on the ground somewhere after the Lords in Black meeting, and perhaps her mind made the association between sex and cigarettes and that's how she came up with the idea of giving up her chastity to end Max's reign of terror

Grace had immediately thought of giving up her virginity as the sacrifice after the Lords in Black meeting, and the entire time Steph and Pete are running away and tearfully coming to terms with Steph having to kill Pete to stop Max, Grace is running around the school or off to a drug store for cigarettes because she felt having a smoke after was that necessary

#grace chasity #nerdy prudes must die #npmd #seriously where did she get that cigarette ive been wondering abt it a lot #her being a secret smoker doesnt seem very in character to me #but weirdly i feel like it makes the most logical sense? #itd easily explain why she has cigarettes on her and she seemed pretty comfortable with smoking #she wasnt like coughing or anything. like she couldve done it before at least once. #2nd most plausible to me was maybe that it was actually max's?? but idk doesn't seem that much more plausible than some of the other ones #her looking for cigs could explain where she was when the steph/pete stuff was happening but not necessarily explain the other way around #though maybe she did think it was necessary. grace almost definitely didn't have accurate sex ed and was sheltered #maybe thru like the media that she could watch she just believed smoking after was the expected thing #or some church sex ed lesson she had that combined abstinence only and no smoking messages #idk. it's 4 am. i dont know what im doing. #my posts

Hopefully you have the same energy to whine about the (secular) justice system and common law because who needs rules when you're a good person who will spontaneously never do bad thing without superior incentive? 🙃

#they hate Christian culture but do tantrums to get married in churches #sorry but I'll live in a Christian country over anyone else #just look how poorly women are treated in Muslim culture #lmao you are soooooo dishonest #only sassy sheltered westerner would say that crap #have fun in your Purge wetdream #and see how long you survive 💀 #papi watch #Christian

y’all would reblog a thousand posts before you take a single action in your own community that is actually helpful.

#something as simple as. beach clean up. working with your local women’s shelter. getting in contact with a mosque and seeing if they are #running any community services #or a church even. whatever. take a day brother. #do something in your community #whatever what do i know #now im irritated

that Jehovah's Witness post got me thinking about how from as early as I can remember, my church strongly encouraged us to make friends for the sole purpose of recruitment. like I remember being in Sunday School and being told to identify the outcast kids in my school and invite them to church with me, and it was all under the guise of "we have to get them to Jesus so he can fix their problems" but it was actually just because vulnerable kids are easy targets for conversion.

and when that happened the person who brought them would be telling their guests "tragic" back story to everyone who listened, usually behind the person's back, because the more awful their situation the more brownie points the person who brought them got. and they both were like king or queens for the day, everyone wanted to talk to the new person and love bombed the shit out of them which you can imagine was very enticing for kids/teens who maybe had never experienced that before.

and a lot of times those guests would become very devoted members of the church, but the kicker is that church hierarchy was almost exclusively upper middle/upper class white men with basically no deviation. so if they didn't fit the idea of what leadership was supposed to look like, it didn't matter how much time and effort they gave to the church community, they wouldn't be taken seriously and often would just be considered permanent free labor like the rest of the congregation.

and yea it's nefarious when you really think about it because of course adult "guests" were encouraged too, but so much more time and effort was put towards getting kid and teen converts, i think because they were just better long-term members. the church could replace what they were lacking in a support system and in return they got a lifelong free intern who was more devoted than the average member.

#and like the guest kids didnt just seamlessly integrate with the other kids #the things that made them stick out at school that we were originally told to look for specifically eventually made them stick out amongst #the sheltered church kids. and the after their novelty wore off they were sometimes outcasted just like they had been in the secular system #we supposedly saved them from #my shit

i literally don't know what's not clicking with genociden bootlickers. like maybe i'm just an ignorant brit but the uk also has a two party system and it's not hard for me to say that both starmer and sunak are evil pieces of shit. starmer is not "lesser evil" just because he's the labour leader.

#bwark #making this unrebloggable because you people are so stupid god bless #anyway voting is not the only thing you can do. help out locally. donate to a food bank. organize a union at your workplace. keep an #elderly or disabled person company for a day. volunteer at a shelter #my flatmate volunteers at a charity shop and my mom does a ton of things with our local church to help out low income families and people #who are isolated #i might start visiting the support group for the isolated to help out with her since it doesn't sound like it'll be too taxing on my body #with My Issues #tldr to act like doing good starts and ends with voting is very close minded. you can do more

I'm... kind of confused about this? Like Ignatz is basically saying the only way for people to move forward is by continuing to fight and destroy? That's a pretty awful message in general, but coming from Ignatz it just feels weird. It sounds like he's just accepted war and that it's just... something that happens so we should shrug it off and move on?

I know this game tends to have very strong pro-war/pro-invasion messages which is already really gross to me, but it went from being annoying and icky to just making me feel disgusted. Also, Ignatz of all people shouldn't just shrug his shoulders and be like well that's just the way of things, I guess! There's an active war going on so it makes sense that towns could be rebuilt and destroyed again. It doesn't mean just give up on it.

Also really doesn't feel like an Ignatz thing to say.

#DCB Three Hopes Run #I'll be honest I have very low opinions of people when I see them say shit like #Edelgard is in the right and it she was justified to invade territories #if there was provocation/she was attacked by another territory first I'd get it #but I can't sympathize with the concept in general of attacking another nation that has nothing to do with you #it feels absolutely disgusting and seeing people actually DEFEND that is extremely concerning about their real life values #especially when she's very open about how the purpose of it is conquest and not actually the Church #and no nobody can use the Faerghus sheltering refugees as an excuse bc she attacks them in both games #and they didn't shelter the Church at all outside CF. in Hopes it's just a reason the writers needed to be able to #make it so the game had a similar story to Houses and to give a reason so the war still happened #Faerghus was quite literally minding its own business and growing at an astoundingly fast pace #and suddenly they have to decide whose side to take in a war? they didn't want to go to war but they were forced #and Ignatz here basically shrugging his shoulders figuring it's just a way of life to be at war is... not a good message #people who initiate war do it for their own political and territorial gain and that's true of this story too #it's not a question of whether or not it was Edelgard's goal bc she just outright SAYS it is #like... she's not hiding it? she's not trying to dodge the fact? and like again you can like her character as a fictional character #but it would be like if I said I love Ashnard and bc of that I agreed with his goals ideals and values and that #he was justified in attacking Crimea and torturing laguz. he's a really cool character and I love what he brings to the story #but there's a fine line between finding a fictional character interesting/fascinating #and outright defending their actions and basically saying conquest is okay as long as you tell people it's for another reason #i.e. Edelgard gave the propaganda about ''for the people'' but that wasn't her goal. if it WAS #she'd be contacting Dimitri in those two years like hey I see you guys are making strides in your politics mind giving us some advice #if her goal was for the people she would've spent those two years for the people and fixing shit not preparing for war #it just... really leaves a sick feeling for me that people legitimately believe her violence is justified and that here Ignatz is basically #saying that war is just a thing we all should just accept. like... how is war the only way for humans to move forward??? #the one good thing Twitter does is that it tries to at least give sympathies to attacked nations #if this game was real you'd be seeing ''Faerghus attacked'' ''Faerghus invaded'' ''pray for Faerghus'' all over Twitter lmao #like if this was never a fictional story and if it was just real life there would have been only support on social media

Studying of the Irish suffering for both Wanahton because his wife is Irish ( hello @paddyfuck ) and their home would absolutely be ridiculed for it along with he himself being a Sioux man, and then for Molly O’Shea, looks a lot like:
