I know "I'm not bad anymore" is an instant classic, but I'll tell you, "meow" has got to be the highlight of the whole episode for me. I love it when Brennan uses "and you see" to set up a single word of dialogue.

#and you see that the cat goes meow #why thank you brennan #very insightful world building #and that pause after #like he expects them to react #this was an important addition to the lore #she meows at you #what are you gonna do about it? #ball's in your court #fhjy #fantasy high #fantasy high junior year #dimension 20 #d20 spoilers

can i just say. i love how almost all of your she/her ocs are amab and have facial hair. like hell yeah!!!! appearance =/= gender!!! this is a compliment

thank you! its really important to me to draw more ocs that are visibly trans, being a trans man that doesn't pass as masc at all and won't for a while lol. drawing characters that aren't visibly transitioned, or characters that don't want to visibly transition, is a very big thing for me, so i'm glad that you like it :-]

#a lot of the time in media with trans people (not very common) all i see are fully transitioned characters #and while i'm not saying that's a bad thing - i think having trans people in media at all is very good #being a pre-everything closeted trans man myself it's very nice to see trans characters that aren't on hrt or have surgery #in addition to that there's also a lack of amab trans characters - or at least any that aren't fully androgynous or fem-presenting #again! not a bad thing #but i think masc trans people - regardless of gender identity - are very important and should be shown more #this probably isnt making sense but im very glad you like it #sometimes i worry that it's coming off as the wrong thing but it's good to hear that people enjoy it + understand what i want to show #this got into a ramble but thank you anon! hearing compliments about this means a lot to me

#if I've made anyone uncomfortable with the things I've been posting the last few days that was in fact the point and fully intended #and I don't say that to be cruel but simply to drive home the point that fandom spaces can be both safe and hostile at the same time #it is a deeply uncomfortable thing to acknowledge and I know most people do no want to deal with that and I understand that truly #but it was important to me to acknowledge and to give my opinion so that's what I did #At the same time none of this changes my opinion on my ship or the fact that I love a certain character other people find problematic #and I am fine with people finding that problematic because I am human being I am problematic by default #and I am confident enough in myself as a person to know when to acknowledge when I've contributed to problematic behavior #and realize the world doesn't end when this happens #my opinion of the fandom I've made my home in hasn't changed either #I had these views before and now they're out there in the open messy wording and all #and if you've decided that changes your opinion of me for the worse that's fine you can unfollow block etc #I understand that even in my attempt to acknowledge hurt within my fandom I've probably hurt other people and I have made my peace with it #but for everyone else that's shown me support both on tumblr and in private #for everyone that's listened to me vent about this subject over DMs and validated my hurt feelings #instead of trying to press your own discomforts onto me to carry in addition to my own #thank you #I've carved a permanent space in my heart for you and I truly mean that #I waded into this mess fully expecting to be ignored at best and to lose connections at worst and I was fully okay with it #but the love I've gotten and the deep honest and vulnerable conversations I've had over the last few days has truly been astounding to me #this last part is taking me AGES to write #because I'm actually crying thinking about all the good that's come out of this #and I acknowledge that's not a universal opinion and that's fine I'm really only speaking to my personal experience with what's happened #which despite outward appearances has been incredibly cathartic and uplifting for me #and I don't need everyone in the fandom to share my views or validate me or tell me I'm right people are allowed to disagree #I also don't need to have a deep personal and honest connection with everyone in the fandom where I can share my deepest vulnerabilities #but the fact that I could have that connection with some of you? that's enough for me. it's everything to me.

(breaks down your door, out of breath) between spain and silverstone, the ferrari logo embroidery on the chair changes color... could it be?? it's a completely different chair? then who has version one? where is she?!

Oh my god stop it I think you're right 😭😭😭

This is the back of the chair from Pre-Silverstone:

And then this is the back of the chair from Silverstone onwards:

I'm sorry, but it is unbelievably funny if they not only added the booster seat but ALSO made sure to give it silver embroidery too 😭

Like cmon they had to have at least some meeting about this:

"Here are my complaints, 1. Not comfortable enough, I have to slump to get my feet on the ground, you need to add somewhere to rest my feet" "got it, booster seat ordered and shipped" , "2. ...it is not fitting the Ferrari aesthetic enough, you must make that horse more flamboyant and beautiful!"

My theory: Fernando complained about the chair in order to get a new one so he could then kidnap the original chair to his house <3

#normal posts that catie makes #who cares about the rest of 2012 this is the only importance narrative to me! #thank you for your insights 🙏 i appreciate the addition to the chlore(chair lore) #catie.asks. #(posts like these remind me when my friends and i made a deranged subreddit for some background character + #in a sw show that literally only appeared for i think less than a minute scene + #but the subreddit was us fanboying over this random alien + #im like: ah this is a funny post to make. and then realize: ah not the first time ive done smth like this LOL)

There are so many ways a place can be haunted, aren't there? There's the obvious and visible (a ghost with blue-stained hands and a song), but there are other ways too. Those places we avoid, that our eyes skitter away from, that our minds flinch from the thought of. But again and again they haunt us, these places with their shades of what was. They saw him in everything, there, didn't they? From songs they sung and flags they flew, to the shoes they tried to fill and the legacy they found in their hands.

Isnt it interesting, how a place can be haunted in more ways than one?

oh no! will is sad!!!!

now that i've gotten your attention... hello there! there's just a little thing about will and mike i'd like to talk about, if you're willing to read it :D

as most of you know, i love will and mike's relationship. i care about the two of them a lot and i care about how they care for each other - and their bond is not only incredibly important to me, but also incredibly important to the show.

and i can guarantee that most of you also really love will and mike together. in that way i love interacting with those of you who ship byler (which is likely the majority of you), as you value their love for each other just as much as i do.

however, there is one main aspect of their relationship that i approach very differently than a lot of avid byler shippers. and, respectfully, i would like to talk about it. for those of you who choose to read, thank you ever so kindly :)

a lot of bylers whose posts i've read on here take scenes of these two purely from a romantic angle - people often use the phrase 'there is no straight explanation for this' in regards to scenes like 'crazy together' or 'you said yes' (basically anything from st2, really). i won't deny that many of such scenes - especially in st3 and st4 - either are easily interpreted to be or blatantly are romantic in nature.

such bylers use acts of extreme devotion and care and gentleness between will and mike as proof that their love for one another can't possibly only be platonic. mike having a binder full of drawings will's made, or recognizing his favorite song, or sleeping on the floor so he can be close to will and comfort him if he has another shadow monster-related nightmare - many fans look at this devotion and immediately call it romance.

but is it really only that?

i should note how i have absolutely no problem with people reading byler from these scenes. i think these scenes strengthen the ship and that that devotion makes their relationship so much sweeter and so much more loving. my issue stems from people reading these scenes as purely romantic - that their love for one another stems entirely on crushing on each other.

my point doesn't rely on whether or not they do have a mutual crush, because i'm not talking about that, even if it likely plays a major role in some interactions - i'm talking about the definite nature of their platonic love, which can coincide with romantic love. nothing i'm saying is against the ship. it's just that in terms of the strength of their relationship, romance shouldn't matter as much as people make it out to be.

they are friends. they can be more. they might be more. it'd be wonderful if they could be more. but above all, will and mike are friends.

my main gripe about this whole romantic lens stems from how people interpret will and mike's estrangement in st3 and st4. people interpret the fight to entirely be about internalized homophobia and will having a crush on mike and mike shoving him aside. and that is a big factor, but it's not nearly the only one. people interpret the issue to be a purely romantic one, entirely dismissing the platonic aspect out of hand...

...and entirely dismissing the value of friendship itself out of hand.

you can't seriously tell me will's pain in st3 and st4 is only about an unrequited crush when the person you think he has a crush on, and who has basically abandoned him, has been his best friend for almost a decade.

romance isn't necessarily a 'step up' from friendship. sometimes they're on the same level. often a friendship is stronger than a romantic bond. losing a friend can break your heart just as much as losing a lover can. trust me, i would know.

mike said that befriending will was the best thing he's ever done. their friendship is so important - to them, to me, to you, to the show. it would be great if he and will loved each other romantically... will most certainly has a crush on him now, if he didn't prior to st3, and his romantic love for mike being requited would be wonderful...

...but first will needs his platonic love for mike to be requited. mike has begun to breach that gap he created in st3 and truly acknowledge how will is just as important to him as el is - but that gap is deep and wide and dangerous and being best friends with will again is going to take time and effort.

i would love it if byler became canon, but what i need is for will and mike to love each other again. as friends. i just personally think that their friendship, as the two have grown and changed and lived in that friendship for so long, is so much more important than their romance could ever be right now.

i humbly ask you wonderful people of the byler community to step back... and take off your blue-and-yellow-tinted glasses, if just for a moment... because will and mike's friendship is just as beautiful as byler is.

trust me, i would know :)

#stranger things #will byers #mike wheeler #will's christmas lights #wise words from will #i'm not tagging the ship specifically but at the same time i'm not censoring it in the post #because i'm not against it remotely #i just want folks to understand how important will and mike's *friendship* is to everything #in addition to whatever else is going on between them #their friendship is the most important thing here #heck for the show overall #jopper is a similar thing actually. childhood friends who might be romantically interested in one another #but the most important thing is how deep that friendship runs through their veins. they would do anything for each other #and that's beautiful #don't discount the beauty of friendship folks! give your friends a hug today #thank you if you read all of it :) i really appreciate it

our timezones are NOT in alignment (booo timezones) so i ended up listening to ttpd first and THEN i read atkh!! the only thing ill say about ttpd is that but daddy i love him was a win in my books and watching the hateful swifties lose their minds over the fact that a lot of the album was ab matty was gold. ANYWAY

todays chapter omg the build up i’m so excited to see what’s next with george maybe (hopefully?) talking to matty and more tragic matty backstories!!?? i love how charli is like “u guys are so dense ofc yall would be perfect together” and omg carly being protective over matty is the best thing ever i just need to wrap him up in a blanket forever

-🥤

Hello My Dear Smoothie Anon!

Timezones really are the worst! Mixed with me not getting it together and posting the chapter during my lunch break like I said I wasn't going to do lol But alas I couldn't sleep last night and woke up late and was rushing to get to work a lot more than anticipated lol

I had a lot of very complicated feelings about the album - but you're right, I'm glad that But Daddy I Love Him was at least a middle finger to the "fans" who were so awful about Matty last year. In terms of the rest of the album, I hope he's actually doing alright like that US Weekly article said. That was like... the perfect PR move and I'm so glad that someone on his side got it together enough to make it happen.

Now on to ACTUAL important things (at least in my delusional world lol) Thank you SO MUCH for reading omg I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the new All the King's Horses chapter!! I love Fictional!Charli so much and was like I must find a way for her to be there again lol She just wants Fictional!George to be happy and she is fully convinced getting together with Fictional!Matty would make them BOTH very happy! Fictional!Carly is also very much looking out for Fictional!Matty- they grew up together, she knows what he went through with his mother when they were kids- and she knows a lot more about that situation with the jockey than she's sharing... Fictional!Matty keeps everyone at arms length, even her, and if fictional!George gets past those defenses she will NOT be letting him hurt Fictional!Matty.

Thank you so much for reading and for sending me this ask and just like being all around lovely? I love chatting with you here in the inbox! I hope your Friday was lovely and that you have a great weekend!

❤️Ally

[arabriddler]

important ! In recent years especially this year I’ve noticed a lot that the internet language picked up so many Islamic phrases and, from a muslim perspective, it makes the internet a little more welcoming. the thing is, a lot of the time with Islamic phrases you have to be careful about when and where to say them they hold their own weight and demand their own respect so here is a list explaining each phrase and some notes about it.

In sha allah

It means “ If God wills “. It’s mostly a response that can mean yes or no. If someone asks you to do something you can say in sha allah as in “ I heard you and I’ll try to do itc but I can’t claim that It will happen “ . Muslims say it because we’re unaware of what future holds it’s actually blasphemous to claim to know the future, so saying so means “ If it’s the will of god it will happen if not it won’t “ and you’d also say it about future events.

Ma sha allah

It means “ this is what god intended “ and it’s a compliment. Saying so is like saying WOW! But it’s also kind of a prayer of protection? If I see someone with pretty hair I should say “ Ma sha allah your hair is very pretty “ the ma sha allah protects the person from the evil eye. By saying that I’m also saying I’m not jealous I’m genuinely enamored and I don’t wish any harm to go to it.

Astagfurullah

it means “ to god I repent “ or “ from god I seek forgiveness” it’s usually used when you make a mistake but people also use it when they see something bad or when they want to avoid saying something bad. Like once my card refused to work and I’d say that so I won’t say any curse words and to calm down my anger

wallah/wallahi

okay this one is important. This one shouldn’t be used so lightly. It means “ by god’s name “ and it’s basically swearing in Allah’s name. You are only supposed to say it if you genuinely mean what you’re saying. It’s such a heavy word that I only say it very rarely and if you say it and don’t follow up on what you said you have to fast for three days as repentance.

ya allah

ya is an addressing word? Like talking to someone or calling them? Like saying O’ ( someone ) so ya allah means O’ god

Al hamdullilah // hamdullilah

it means ‘ praise/thanks to god ‘ said when something good happens or when you feel relieved about something— for example, my shirt is stained badly and I’m worried it won’t clean well. I clean it and the stain is gone so I say “ al hamdullilah “ kind of like phew!. Sometimes people say it as an answer when they’re asked how they are it can either mean things are good or bad but we preserve .

One more note is that with the name of Allah you should also be careful it’s not supposed to be written on papers that’ll get stepped on or lightly used in art because it also has its own weight it’s regarded heavily. Like even in home decorations it should be elevated and not overshadowed. If I have to throw away a paper I have to sit down and color over the name of Allah or burn the papers so it won’t get thrown in trash.

another note is that those phrases aren’t Muslim exclusive. Some Arab non-Muslims use them as well. This is only my explanation from a Muslim perspective.

Another another note is this is what I can remember at the moment but if you have additions or enquiries let me know

THE TEXAS LIBRARY ASSOCIATION HAVE ISSUED AN APOLOGY AND A RE-INVITATION. HERE IS MY STATEMENT

hello buckaroos. the TEXAS LIBRARY ASSOCIATION have issued a formal statement and apology which you can read at the attached link.

while i find the language used to discuss what was done a little unsatisfying, i would like to start by saying i appreciate anyone taking steps to prove love is real and make things right. the genuine feeling of ‘realizing you have made a mistake and hurt someone else’ is a terrible one, and i have so much empathy for this group as they reckon with their choices causing harm. i appreciate their apology.

i also think more good than bad has come from this situation. i am so thankful this happened to me (someone with a large social media presence) and not a smaller buckaroo author without the means to stand up for themselves. i think the next time someone comes to the TXLA with an accommodation need, they will hopefully be taken more seriously

lets trot down to business about specifics now. the TXLA has re-invited chuck to the original panel and even offered to take a moment at the top of the panel to talk about what happened. this is very kind of them and i will say THANK YOU. 

unfortunately i will also have to decline.

the fact that it took this much effort, social media backlash, and discussion to let me simply EXIST PHYSICALLY in a way that is authentic to myself is not a good sign. if this organization immediately questions an authors chosen presentation in this manner, i cannot imagine what my other accommodations would be met with.

sometimes i am at an event and i very quickly need extra space to breathe. sometimes i am at an event and i need special guides to help me along from place to place. these are not ‘big asks’ and every other conference has gladly provided them, but if the TXLA had this kind of initial reaction to my physical appearance, i cannot imagine them readily helping with my other needs without ‘proof’.

this is clearly not a safe place to trot for those who require additional accommodations. regardless of any apology, their ACTIONS have shown that people who appear unusual or unique are not welcome at this event on a subconscious level. i believe the TXLA have some serious inner work to do beyond this apology, and i believe this inner work will involve actions more than words.

but even more importantly i would like to make this very important point: IT DOES NOT MATTER IF MY MASK IS A DISABILITY AID OR NOT. i appreciate the way this discussion has allowed us to trot out some deep talks on autism and proved love in this way, but i think there is a much more important point at hand.

regardless of WHAT someone looks like, it is not the job of an event or conference to pick apart WHY. physical presentation can be a part of someones neurodivergence, or gender, or sexuality, but i can also just exist as a nebulous undefined part of their inner self. it can be a piece they are not ready to openly discuss yet. the guests at TXLA are authors (aka ARTISTS) and the idea that a conference dedicated to an ART is going to deny people with unique and unusual presentations for ANY reason is absurd. since when are we applying a ‘dress code’ to our artists?

without knowing it, i personally believe there is an element of the ‘good queer, bad queer’ phenomenon going on here. there is a push to say ‘LOOK we accept these marginalized groups and cultures’ but behind the scenes that means ‘we accept these marginalized groups and cultures who are quiet and speak in turn and wear the metaphorical suit and tie’. it is easy to show diversity when you only take on the voices that arent too ‘strange’.

to prove my point i ask you this: do you think orville peck would have FOR ONE SECOND been asked to perform at the texas library association event without his mask?

so with that i say ‘very sincerely, thank you, but i will have to decline the re-invitation. maybe next year’

UPDATE AND PROOF OF PURCHASE!

Hussam has been out all day the past two days after the strikes on Rafah getting material for refugees. Since, again, there is a huge influx of refugees and the nights are quite cold, blankets are still very important so he bought another 300 for them to keep warm. These have yet to be distributed since he came home around Isha' (during the dark) and didn't have any time to give them out.

But in addition to the blankets, he's been buying other things! He bought 50 bags of flour (25 kilo) for people, as you can see in the video, and volunteers helped out by cooking 200 warm meals, both of which were already distributed!

Thanks so much for all your help!! You're helping keep families warm and fed during this terrible onslaught in Gaza!
