#they want to scare us both

[hindahoney]

The shooting in Jacksonville, FL exemplifies the unified struggle that the Black and Jewish communities face. The shooter wore a swastika, one of his firearms was engraved with a one, and beforehand he wrote an antisemitic and racist journal for the police to find (similar circumstances for the mall shooting in May in which the shooter also had Nazi tattoos, and the Christ Church shooting, in which he was active on Nazi sites and wrote an antisemitic/racist manifesto). Neo-Nazism has become a full epidemic, and the Jewish and Black communities are the ones targeted the most.

Jewish communities, as we always have and always will, firmly stand with Black communities who are still currently reeling from this attack.

#tw violence #tw current events #jumblr #judaism #frumblr #jewblr #our histories are intertwined with each other #we are always targetted by the same people #there is no coincidence that black communities are targeted by people wearing swastikas #there is no coincidence that black churches are targeted by nazis who are supposedly also christian #they want to scare us both

Are we gonna see you on Tumblr more often, since the ban for TikTok might be going out?

mmmmmmmm

I really hate thinking about it but i suppose yes.

I think ill have to focus on posting to youtube i guess....since i can still make monetizable money over there....and ill probably have to push my patreon more-

Hey maybe ill be able to make designs for my redbubble and- work on Tiny Tails more hah....ah....

yeah.....work.......that'll distract me from such a volatile ban of freedom of speech......

...

#it feels so fucking stupid to talk about #the fact that the goverment is taking away the only platform ive been given to talk freely and openly #the platform that has provided me with money to ease my homelife #the platform i was most comfortable on #i am scared of the future of our goverment #the goverment that takes away the ways we express ourselves #stripping us of jobs with robot replacements and laws that ban both body and speech #i do not want to live in a country that is run by fossils hellbent on controlling my every move after it preeched about freedom #how fucking dare they give us such bullshit false hope

Rise!Leo x Miyamoto:

Leo: *doing something stupid*

Miya: please don't die-

Rise! Leo x Yuchi:

Leo: *doing something stupid*

Yuchi: *joins him*

#i love both these ships because they are so different #Leo is being silly and miyamoto wants to contain the silly to a non lethal level #Yuchi is just encouraging it #Also used first named bc both last names are usagi #im also upset we didn't get usagi in rise but part of me is glad bc I'm scared of what they would have decided to do #Like idk what if they made him like 5000 yr old ghost or something #They made shredder a demon so I wouldn't put it past them #Rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #leosagi #Leochi #A rare occasion where both tags should be used #Srsly stop tagging leochi content with the leosagi content #Ik leosagi is technically correct for both but miyamoto came first so he gets claim on it #technically correct bc it’s their last name

I'm watching Berserk and I may or may not have hyped myself up to turn my vampire ocs into dark fantasy characters. mmaybe

#sketch tag #so uh. pepper is kind of a guts basically jdjgkckkc #they're both in an army and they butt heads a lot bc pepper is big and stronk but very impulsive and reckless #but there's no griffith situation or anything like that it's just that vince worries abt her #and he's way more restrained as a fighter and a strategist. maybe a commander or second in command #and just like in vtm he's very paranoid and afraid of change. so he worries abt her and is also unhappy in the army but too scared to leave #so he broods a lot and mopes around and gets on her ass abt her recklessness #and just like in vtm pepper is impulsive and has a lot of pent up frustration and she uses the battlefield to release all of it #sometimes overexerting herself and nearly getting herself killed #she also wants to leave bc she's not sure she believes in what they're fighting for anymore. but then she loses her coping mechanism #things change when they have an argument where he reveals he cares abt her sjfjjfkf YES very cliche I am thriving #and she's dismissive at first but after being alone for a bit his words start sinking in #and when they're on a battlefield again there's a moment where they have to retreat and she's about to absolutely not listen to that #but then she has a change of heart bc she remembers what he said + she cares abt him too so she doesn't want him to be hurt by her actions #neither by him getting worried nor trying to come to her aid and putting his life at risk #so she retreats #and he's very happy abt that he thanks her later for what she did #and then she's like yeah sure I guess I didn't die but also guess what. I'm bored #everything she wanted to release back there she just didn't. so she's still frustrated and especially bc she had to admit defeat #and she's an extremely proud person. she's irritated #and he's like aight. I'm gonna fight you then #and she's like what. and he's like yeah #so he picks up a sword and throws another one to her and there's a *sexual tension play-fight* hell yeah babey #I'm having sm fun w this au can you tell jejfjckckkc #eventually they do desert the army they're in bc things get worse and pepper decides she no longer wants to be a part of it #and in a fight or flight moment she pushes vincent to make a decision and he leaves with her #and like the story is only getting started there bc then there'll be some big misteries in the story they're gonna uncover #which. I haven't figured out what they are yet #but either way akhhdskfha I'm having a lot of fun w this #sleep.txt

the thing about the charming siblings is i want to make them tragic. you're perfect, I wish I was perfect. you're allowed to not be perfect. I resent you for being perfect. I hate you for being imperfect. I want to be a boy. I want to be a knight. I want to be you. I could be better than you. I wish your destiny was mine. I wish people loved me the way they love you. I wish she loved me the way she loves you. I hate you, I hate you, I hate you. I love you. I miss when we were friends. we never talk anymore. do you even care? you know nothing about me. you took my destiny. who am I? I'm supposed to be the responsible one. don't leave me. get away from me. when did you grow out of being a little kid? i miss home. the only place that feels like home is you. do you love her? do you love me? brother. sister. i was supposed to protect you. I'm sorry. I forgive you. nothing will ever be the same again.

it's about perfection and performance. it's about playing roles. everyone has their role to play. what if i want to be something else, something more. it's about femininity and masculinity. it's about not fitting in to either. is it about who you're supposed to be or who you want to be? I did it for you. I didn't ask for that. I'd burn the world for you. you never cared about me. I think of you always. there isn't room enough for all of us. i wish you'd never been born at all. I couldn't live without you.

#the thing about dexter and darling is they have a lot of parallels #they both thought their love interests (raven and apple) liked daring #they both wish they were like daring (though in different ways) #neither of them have a confirmed destiny #but at the same time dexter gets to be a prince and do the things she wants to do #and i think Dexter is sort of jealous of her because as another prince he gets compared to daring more #Dexter resents his siblings for being seemingly perfect and he also resents darling for how she doesnt even have to be perfect #bc she doesnt get compared to daring in his eyes #darling does feel the need to be perfect though and resents that she can't live the life she wants but her brothers get that life #daring TO ME has a superiority complex to cover up his flaws bc hes severely scared of being imperfect #but at the same time he wishes he was allowed to be imperfect bc the pressure is killing him #hes relied on false bravado for so long that he doesn't know who is without that especially when he loses his destiny #so he resents darling for her effortless confidence in who she is #i think they all used to be super close and daring felt like the one who needed to protect his siblings #but they grew apart as they got older and started to resent each other and he lost that protective instinct #but they all miss when they were closer #i think daring realizes he was “supposed” be the one protecting his siblings once darling starts protecting/saving him #to darling its too late for him to protect her bc she can protect herself and doesnt want to be protected #to dexter though i think a part of him wishes daring stood up for and protected him more #they all desperately need to be flawless but its killing them #and they all desperately want to be each other #and they all just want their siblings back #but they can't go back to when they were children #and they can't understand each other as they are now #but they love each other anyways #even as they resent each other #eah #ever after high #ignore that i wrote 50 million more things in the tags #i realize this may be out of character or whatever but idc

Physically I’m okay

Emotionally I am sitting with Team outside Win’s door, and waiting for him to open it.

i just want to say one last thing about this whole byler vs rovickie situation. i am not obligated to like a ship just because it’s a sapphic ship. there is nothing interesting (at least to me) about rovickie (vs ronance and elmax let’s say which i actually like) there shouldn’t be this expectation to like this ship that consists of two secondary character, one who’s only purpose (so far) is to be a main character’s lesbian friend and the other who was only introduced in the recent season and doesn’t even have a last name. versus, byler, that has been building up for 4 seasons, full of tension, drama, yearning, heartbreak, tenderness and all of the above.

the reason why rovickie probably didn’t get an article is because…how the hell are you supposed to write one when the ship only has 3 scenes???? it’s just not even close to byler and it’s ship dynamics and robin and vickie are nowhere near the level of development and importance as characters as mike and will. most casual watchers aren’t even watching the show for vicki and robin so why write an entire article about them???? im sure if they were main characters, they would be more interesting to the public and thus generate more traction to an article. but they are not. so here we are.

plus, let’s not kid ourselves milevens. you do not care for sapphic ships at all. with people shipping elmax, you say people shouldn’t ship it because “el is with mike”. plus you try and make every elmax moment about mileven anyways so i know you don’t actually care. you just want a reason to hate byler and if anything, it makes you even more homophobic.

this isn’t a hate post whatsoever. but the same way you’re allowed to ship rovickie and dislike byler, the same way im allowed to do the opposite and just not care for rovickie at all.

#byler #anti mileven #im actually so mad about this like twitter has been a cesspool today even more so than usual #of just some of the msot homophobic takes about byler that it scares me for when it goes canon in s5 #shipping byler and celebrating the ship does not take away from rovickie i promise you #some of us just don’t care about rovickie bc it’s extremely underdeveloped and they’re both secondary characters #plus ronance is far more interesting #so yeah. #hate me all you want idc but this is my opinion

[collieii]

idk if this is controversial but i don't think vash is ashamed of his scars. i think vash is mainly concerned abt the picture he presents to the world and other peoples well-being/feelings. so the reason he doesn't like others seeing his scars is because he think it will make them uncomfortable, and it also sort of undermines the image he wants to project of someone who's very sillygoofy/carefree etc. similarly, i don't think vash is ashamed or insecure about being a plant/having those inhuman features, more he's concerned with how other people react to them. (the plant stuff esp makes sense to hide given how people literally stoned him lmao)

but yeah i don't think he's filled with self loathing over the scars and being nonhuman. i feel like vash's self image is fine, he just prioritizes how others feel and reacts based on that. his whole philosophy of covering up how he feels inside (that smile is fake!) is based on this principle, it doesn't matter if he's depressed as hell as long as he can pretend it's ok, because external presentation and how you affect the world is what really matters to him.

#trigun #trigun maximum #vash the stampede #thinking more of trimax than stampede vash but i think this applies to both? #anyways i've been reading a lot of trigun fic if you couldn't tell #the plant/wings stuff is addressed p well thru meryl in trimax #where it makes sense that ppls immediate reaction to seeing them is fear #(seen in ch 38) #but ofc anyone who knows vash would know he'd never intentionally use his powers to hurt ppl #even if they are terrifying and it's reasonable to be scared #meryl is scared of vash kinda instinctively but she pushes thru it bc he's her friend yk #and there's a whole line where someone just points that out directly i can't remember which chap but yk what im saying #oh when i say his self image is fine i am not referring to the guilt of causing insane tragedies that different #i just mean he's not insecure i feel like it might look like there's overlap w what i'm saying but it's different it's different #only saying this bc i've seen other ppl make him more insecure abt it which is fine but i wanted to add my 2 cents #trigun meta #.lieii #.lieii txt

my hot take on Lizzie: the Musical is that the love story becomes infinitely more compelling the more actors/the production lean into Alice's flaws and selfishness rather than presenting her as some fragile little flower who's the voice of reason (tag novel below)

#lizzie the musical #alice ultimately prioritizes her own feelings and unhappiness over repressing her sexuality over lizzie's mental distress over her abuse #(which in fairness alice isn't really in any position to do anything about) #and she can be very sweet to the people she cares about but that doesn't negate/isn't negated by how she's putting her needs and wants firs #while also willingly being lizzie's refuge because she does love her #then in act 2 her turning on lizzie is. very understandable considering anyone would be scared shitless in her shoes #(whether either of the parents 'had it coming' or not your loved one snapping and committing gory murders is objectively terrifying) #(unless you're mrs. lovett which alice is. very much not though they share a selfishness) #and lizzie trying to use their love/sex to manipulate alice into perjuring for her - thus implicating her - is also obviously upsetting #add to that alice's words during the hearing + her overall proper lady schtick show she's drunk the edwardian patriarchal koolaid #'turn of the tables between me and you' is SO much in a lyric #anyway both of them are acting from a place of real suffering and real love and they're both wronging each other #and THAT is what real toxic yuri is all about #no one in this show is a good person. no one in this show (who is onstage) is an entirely bad person either. #everyone is acting from a place of oppression and pain and anguished love. they are all caged birds!

it's the way Ellie immediately starts screaming and crying when Sam attacks her and absolutely WAILS for Joel. that's what broke me.

#it's like. she's 14. she just woke up. she fell asleep after making a promise not to. she BELIEVED with all her heart that her blood #would save this kid almost half her age. she believed it. she hoped it. she spoke it into existence. #because if joel could speak into reality that she wouldn't get shot why couldn't she do the same for sam? right? #and then she wakes up and it Didn't Work and this kid she's made friends with who's half her age and just as scared #only with an even SMALLER body to fit all that fear into. is gone. he asked if it would still be him inside and it isn't. #and ellie broke her promise. both of them. the healing and the not-being-alone-ness. #so maybe it's only joel who can speak things into existence like that. ellie doesn't know. she just knows that he'll help her. #she just wants her dad. #Lu rambles #tlou #tlou spoilers #the last of us spoilers #tlou hbo

mike telling will it's not his fault he doesn't like girls and will destroying castle byers to symbolize the loss of not only childhood innocence and what was but also the loss of his most treasured safe space. mike threw that back in his face—his biggest, most sacred and unspeakable truth; the one that's haunted his entire life and damned him to this—and he specifically ripped their photo down the middle while calling himself stupid and tore everything down because god dammit he WANTED to play dnd with mike forever and never get girlfriends because they were supposed to go crazy TOGETHER and being friends was the best thing they'd EVER done and now castle byers can't be his safe space anymore because it's been tainted. there's too much mike. there's too many reminders of his stupid, stupid dreams. it's no longer a safe harbor—it's just a reminder of his naivety, his childish dream that someone like him could ever get what he wants. and he's clearly still hurt by that because we knew previously that will trusted mike more than any other party member and even his family. he told him first about everything with the upside down and he was there through every part of his possession. will loves mike more than anyone, but after that rain fight he just doesn't trust him with that stuff anymore. "because what if they don't like the truth...?" with that knowing, searching glance. because he WANTS to tell mike. even now, after everything, he still wants to be honest with him. to be himself with him again. he's DYING to and we know that because will doesn't like to lie, least of all to mike, but he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't so he rips the band-aid off and confesses under his own sister's name. an ugly compromise because he can't keep lying and he can't keep listening to mike think so lowly of himself but he can't be honest either. because he doesn't trust that mike will still like him afterward. if mike said that to him before he knew, what would he say after will confirmed it? like. GODDDDD THE ANGST OF IT ALL.....

#byler #say wht u want but they filmed both 'not my fault you don't like girls YET' ANDDDD 'not my fault you don't like girls' and they went with #the latter. right after s2 aka the mike being fucking batshit devoted to will and his number 1 indomitable defender and protector refusing #to leave his side only to then abandon him and LITERALLY CANONICALLY FORGET THAT HE'S EVEN THERE in s3. #bc he has a girlfriend. and he wants to be Normal. and he doesn't want things to change. bc he's scared of change and changing. #he just wants to be normal. please please please he just wants to be NORMAL and he doesn't know why will doesn't get it. #'did u think we were never going to get girlfriends' 'yeah. i guess i did. i really did.' #aka i thought that we were the same i thought it would be this - us - forever #because it isn't JUST about dnd. #i just #GOD!!!!!!!!!!! THEY'RE SO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #mine
