#strength in solidarity

Qilin are benevolent creatures, but do not mistake that kindness for weakness. They are powerful creatures that will fight fiercely to protect the innocent and punish the wicked. Solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸

AU I made when I was REALLY fixated on Pokemon Violet where I just put everyone in the fucking academy as transfer or exchange students. Originally it was just the SuMo squad and I had some comics (unfinished) about it, interactions between everyone, ect! Then I got distracted and months later I pick up White 2 and well. Back on my bullshit LMFAOOO 🫡

Unfortunately Lillie and Gladion look much better in person, did not show up on camera well 🥲

All of this is just proof of concept anyway!! Espppp trying to get a feel for color palettes and having fun pushing the uniform rules to their limits LMFAO, and also wanting to show how a character wears a uniform can also be a reflection of themselves!

#pokemon #ALSO MADE THIS AU BEFORE I KNEW ABOUT THE DLC AND HOW WE'RE GONNA BE EXCHANGE STUDENTS (EXCITING) #video games appeal to sick male fantasy such as. *squints at notes* having friends and a good time in school #i need ALLL OF THEM to be friends SO FUCKING BAAAD #like beyond the obvious arven/lillie/gladion friendship/solidarity/processing trauma ect (which i do have concepts for btw) #i NEED arven and hau to be best friends actually. like fucking yesterday. #AND nemona/gladion and now hugh as endless pursuit of strength buddies. nemona is SO EXCITED ABOUT IT #nemona is ALSO VERY enthusiastic about helping lillie gain confidence as a trainer as well!!! much like how she was w protag #also gladion/penny wolf t-shirt kid solidarity. walked the mile. are you listening to me. #and obviously for years now i've been wanting a hugh/gladion friendship like come on!!!!!!! #roz/rosa can fit in anywhere tbh i just want them here. also moon is canon in the au but idk what they're up to. somewhere abroad. #rival hugh #trainer rosa #pokemon lillie #gladion #hau #arven #nemona #trainer penny #my art

The Handmaid’s Tale is a very sensitive series. It’s gory, it’s brutal, but it’s fucking amazing, and I’d love to put my own take on it with the due amount of respect that the books and characters deserve. HOWEVER—I’m well aware that the majority of my followers here would be too young to watch or read THT (it covers many, many awful topics). so, if interested, would anybody rather read it on Wattpad? This would be fully fleshed out, and not one of those fanatical fix-it stories, because in these girls’ stories, there is no fixing things just like that, and it would simply be showing solidarity, and struggle.

#the MC would be a martha #NOT a handmaid #the books and show display a solidarity between the characters which I would love to explore more of #I’m in no way suppressed but to an extent I understand ‘gender roles’ in a society because of how small it is where I live #I understand what’s expected of who and when by some people #and I’d like to explore it in writing #it would explore the hopelessness feelings and the struggles and the strength

you know, i think tenten will also give them good luck charms for protection like how she gave her tsunade-sama one in sd.

she totally would, with her penchant for fortune telling, she’d handcraft three good luck/protection charms and give them to each of them.

I like to think she gives them to each of her team at different times.

Lee gets his first, after Tenten overhears him telling Gai-sensei about how he has almost lost hope in his dream to beat Neji.

“Perhaps just hard work isn’t enough,” he sobs to Gai-sensei as Tenten walks away, her heart heavy. She hands him a little good-luck charm at training the next day, a carved dragon, quietly telling him that he should never lose hope.

Neji may be a genius, but Lee is a genius of hard work, and she will protect his boundless hope until he achieves his dream. Perhaps it comes from a place of selfishness. After all, Tenten is no genius herself, and Lee’s hope is her hope too.

Or maybe it’s not selfishness, but relatability.

Whatever it is, Lee thanks her with a huge hug and many, many tears. Tenten protests loudly, but deep down, her heart swells.

He always keeps it in the hidden pocket of his jumpsuit, and never forgets to take the charm out before washing it. He shows it off with pride to everyone, much to Tenten's chagrin.

Gai-sensei receives his next, after both Tenten and Lee end up in the hospital after the Chunin Exams.

After Tenten is healed, she finds her sensei standing over a sleeping Lee, tears rolling down his face. He immediately puts on an act when Tenten walks in, but she knows what she saw, and it weighs on her.

The next day, when Gai-sensei pops into her physical therapy to check on her and offer some good old Gai-sensei encouragement (motivational shouting), Tenten pulls him aside. She hands him a small charm she’d made the previous night, a little wood turtle carved with the symbol for luck.

“Don’t worry sensei, the people you care about will always be okay!” She smiles brightly at him as she sets the charm in his hand. “It’s for protection—”

Gai-sensei’s thanks is also in the form of many, many tears and shouted declarations of his sweet lotus flower’s kindness and compassion. Tenten’s response, as usual, is loud and embarrassed protests, and a secret smile muffled in Gai-sensei’s broad shoulder as he hugs her tightly.

Gai keeps his charm in the safest pocket of his jounin vest, going as far as to ask Genma to give him a seal to make sure it never breaks or gets damaged. After all, his lotus gave it to him so he could protect her and her teammates, and he would rather die than let her down.

Neji is the last to receive his charm, after his fight with Naruto in the final round of the Chunin Exams. He sits in the hospital room and tells her about everything, his clan, his uncle apologizing to him, his restored faith in the future.

"I will change my clan," he insists to her. "I will better it, for all of the Hyuuga."

The next morning, through the rubble of a torn-apart and betrayed village, in the wake of the Sandaime Hokage's death, Tenten walks to the Hyuuga compound dressed in her mourning clothes and deposits a small carved phoenix charm in his hand.

"What's this for?" he asks, turning the charm over in his hand and studying it.

"Good fortune, protection." Unlike the rest of Team Gai, Tenten always keeps her stories to herself. For some reason, she finds the words tumbling out of her. "My mother used to make them for me. They were for protection and good luck."

Neji nods. He runs a thumb over the carved bird's wing. "Protecting what?"

"My hopes, my well-being, whatever it was she thought needed to be protected."

Neji finally looks up at her, understanding filtering through his gaze. Tenten turns around, ears burning. "Come on, let's go. They'll kill us if we're late to the funeral."

Neji stows his charm in the pockets of his clothes and jogs after her.

Several years later, when Lee surpasses everyone around him, his taijutsu a shining beacon of his hard work and dedication, he is ever aware of the wooden dragon in his pocket, the way his hope is a reflection of Tenten's. He vows to work harder, to prove to her that she can do it just like him.

He will protect her hope too.

On the battlefield facing down Madara Uchiha, Gai quickly moves the little turtle charm to the pocket over his heart. To protect the village, to protect his precious students, he can do anything.

"Eighth Gate of Death, release!"

As medics work to stabilize Neji in the emergency tents, they find a blood-soaked phoenix charm clutched in his hand.

His full recovery is nothing short of a miracle.

#asks #tenten #neji hyuga #rock lee #maito gai #team gai #erumai writes fic sometimes #can't ever keep a consistent spelling of hyuga/hyuuga huh #yes the charms DO have symbolism behind them hehehehehe #this whole thing lowkey makes no sense but also. thats ok. #it's about the strength that comes from the feeling of someone else caring about u idk #cause each member of team gai knows what its like to be lonely. to lack love. #gai lives with the void in his heart from watching his father die #lee was bullied for his whole life about not being able to do ninjutsu and taijutsu and hes probably an orphan too #neji's clan doesnt give a shit about him except for as death fodder when they need to protect the main branch #tenten... we dont know anything about her but we can sense that her need for approval comes from a lack of love in some capacity #maybe shes an orphan too. i like to think she is #ANYWAY all of this team lacks love in some capacity. so when they get it it's gonna stick with them for sure #honestly i coulda thrown nart in here for orphan solidarity or themes or sumn but. this is about team gai. #they ARE each others family dont u see #im gonna shut up now lol

mm i really hope sea shanties made a huge resurgence in the l&co world for agents. that's make me so happy

#just thinking about a team of agents #all young #all scared for their lives #and one of them begins to hum a familiar tune #and the rest of them join in the chorus #and it gives them strength and confidence #and they face the ghosts still singing that song #lockwood and co #lockwood & co #just cause. sea shanties work so well for solidarity amongst people who all hate what they do #but don't have any other choice #also i'm thinking of 'one more pull' by the wellermen/the longest johns #as one of those shanties #i love this idea sm

it sucks no titty when transgender people are being trans exclusionary. this is the in-fighting that helps conservatives take ALL of Our rights away. you are doing conservatism when you exclude trans people who are not trans in the same way you are. you are actively hurting each person in the entire lgbtqia+ family and yourself.

#dykes and sapphics and gnc people and lesbians and nonbinary and intersex people can all coexist. there is no need for division. #there is strength in unity and looking out for each other. do not help conservatives eradicate as many of us as possible. do not oppress Us #do not use the oppressor's tools to repress and harm yourself and your community. solidarity forever. 🏳️‍⚧️ #gender #politics #domb brain

Sometimes it is just a littleeeee bit funny how people on here get so mad over someone with autism relating to their post. But it’s mainly just sad

#maidsmess #it makes me sad the direction a lot of people go #and then justify with ‘neurodivergence isn’t just autism/adhd’ #which is absolutely true and anyone who denies that is an idiot #but like. when you put something out online other people are gonna see it and some people might understand it in their own way and share how #it applies to themself #which is fine #i think the low/high functioning labels are sort of stupid but a lot of people online seem to get the idea that unless an autistic person #spills their guts for you then they’re the highest of high functioning #and thus can be told to be quiet and sit down instead of talking about relating to mistreatment and cruelty #(I mean. that’s not justified even if someone is higher functioning) #sorry if this sounds very naive and I do not mean to come off as dumb but what did happen to solidarity #and strength in shared experience #or even just respecting people #i doubt anyone does this to be mean and they are likely just frustrated but god maybe misplaced anger is bad actually #this all can be ignored im just tired and hate this site a little bit

got dogpiled by men defending pedophilic beauty standards on twitter today, and instead of the usual worry/anger/frustration I'd feel, all I want to do is laugh because they're FUMING and they KNOW I'm right. is this what growth is, gyns ?

#whoever said fighting for women is not scary and lonely when you wrap the love and support of other women around you was so right #not to be emo on main but the reason I have the strength to stand behind my words without crumbling or letting their gaslighting get to me #is because of the beautiful community of radfem women I've got here on tumblr as well as the women on twt backing me up #we are strong in numbers and you all definitely make me feel stronger #this is the first time i've been personally affected by women's solidarity in my life #and it's such a pure beautiful feeling #they can't get me when i have all of you #i love y'all fr #radfem #mine

working class femme women who dont dress like etsy girls inspire me more than anything and it sucks that those women still end up being seen as butch when they're not. and by working class I mean beyond cashiers I mean babysitters physical laborers women who live in poor neighborhoods and can barely afford to get their nails paid for. tiktok femme identity does absolutely nothing for me

#reading about gyaru history and incorporating that into my femmeness has saved me especially #working class women who fight for nonconformity and beauty and solidarity with other women are my heroes and my strength
