A Nepalese historian once told me a story. On a plane to Kathmandu, he was sitting next to an American legal expert who had been called in to help design Nepal’s first-ever republican constitution. But after sparking a conversation about Nepal’s history and its diverse peoples, the historian was shocked at the expert’s lack of knowledge about the country. The American was quick to explain that this ignorance was deliberate, and that he had no desire to learn about Nepal. “You see, good constitutional law is good regardless of the context,” the expert said. “I make a point of not learning details about a country, because they are irrelevant to constitutional design.”

This case might be extreme, or perhaps embellished in the retelling, but something about it feels terribly familiar in regard to the Middle East. Americans debating the Israeli-Palestinian conflict often resort to simple categories and narratives, seeking to impose them without regard to context. One such narrative ignores the history of nationalism and the national right to self-determination. Israel, by this account, is uniquely evil because it is an ethno-nationalist state, and thus the only acceptable solution is for all the land between the (Jordan) river and the (Mediterranean) sea to be part of “one secular democratic state,” presumably without an ethno-national reference, similar to the United States.

I’ll say at the outset that many reasonable debates can be had about the nature of both Israel as a Jewish state and any possible solution to its conflict with the Palestinians. Israelis, both Jewish and Arab, have long contested what exactly it means for a state to be Jewish, or for Israel to be “a state of all its citizens.” Many Israelis and Palestinians have made eloquent cases for various forms of a one-state solution, as is their prerogative.

My problem isn’t with raising these questions, but with having prepackaged answers to them based on facile categories. In a view common on the American left, ethno-nationalism is no different from racism, and for Israel to be a Jewish state is comparable to the United States wanting to be a white state. Many American proponents of the one-state solution use a similar logic. When he abandoned his long-held liberal Zionism in 2020, the journalist Peter Beinart claimed that he had embraced a vision of one state for all in the name of opposing “Jewish-Palestinian separation” and condoning “equality.” The strong implication is that a two-state solution would not bring genuine equality.

Many in this crowd take support for what liberal proponents of Israel have long called a “Jewish and democratic state” to be a demand for ethno-supremacy. A recent letter that calls for “Palestinian liberation,” signed by a number of eminent scholars, such as Étienne Balibar, Judith Butler, and Angela Davis, condemns Israel for having been “an ethno-supremacist state” since its foundation in 1948. By this logic, anyone who supports a two-state solution, which stipulates that a state of Israel exist alongside a state of Palestine, must be racist and ethno-supremacist. For this reason, even Representative Ilhan Omar, of Minnesota, was once attacked as defending “pure racism” due to her support for the two-state solution.

Progressives have many good reasons for treating nationalism with skepticism. But proponents of Palestine seem to miss the irony that, even as they disavow any idea of Jewish nationalism as verboten ethno-supremacy, they are asserting a rival form of nationalism—Palestinian nationalism, which comes with its own rich traditions and history. The Palestinian flag they wave at demonstrations isn’t a random symbol of liberal secular democracy but one based on pan-Arab national colors. In other words, it is very much an ethno-nationalist flag.

Does that mean the Palestinian flag is one of Arab supremacy? Of course not. Like other nationalisms, Palestinian nationalism can have many variants with different degrees of inclusivity. The Palestinian National Charter, written in the 1960s, called Palestine “an indivisible part of the Arab homeland,” entitled to all the land between the river and the sea, and asserted that the majority of Israeli Jews had no place in a liberated Palestine. The charter also asserted that Jews were not “one people with an independent personality” (in the 1964 version) or “a single nation with an identity of its own” (in the 1968 version). But many Palestinians have long contested this exclusionary version of nationalism. Palestinian thinkers and scholars, such as Edward Said, Rashid Khalidi, and Mahmoud Darwish, came to recognize the reality of Israeli nationhood. So did the leadership of the Palestinian national movement, which, in 1996, amended the charter to make recognition of the state of Israel possible.

Jewish nationalism, or Zionism, also has many variants. Under its right-wing prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel has become more and more discriminatory toward its non-Jewish citizens, as evidenced by the 2018 passage of the Nation-State Law, which demoted the status of the Arabic language. Things got much worse last year, when Netanyahu invited outright anti-Arab and Jewish-supremacist fascists into his government. But many in Israeli society and politics, including many Zionists in the political class, heavily oppose this government and its discriminatory legislation. Millions of citizens fight for a more equal vision of Israel even as they defend its existence as a national state.

These values are reconcilable because the core idea of nationalism is not the supremacy of one ethnic group over the other, but the right of a nation to self-determination. The right to self-determination has long been central to progressive politics, among both liberals and socialists. The world of empires crumbled in the First World War, and in its aftermath, postwar leaders, including Woodrow Wilson and Vladimir Lenin, championed this right (at least in rhetoric, if not always in practice), as did their ideological descendants. The world of empires was thus turned into a world of nations, with nationalism a cornerstone of the modern global order (it’s called the United Nations for a reason).

Of course, like all political movements, nationalism has its share of contradictions, not to mention a gory track record. The demographic and geographic boundaries of nations, and the status of minorities within them, have occasioned no end of contestation and conflict. Zionism, in fact, was born from this contestation, as Jews found themselves excluded from most forms of nationalism in the places where they lived. Additionally, as the political scientist Joseph Huddleston has argued, international law has long struggled to find a balance between the national right to self-determination and the right of states to their territorial integrity.

National boundaries are everywhere soaked in blood. Ultranationalist governments have helped kill millions of people, in atrocities such as the Holocaust in the 20th century, and in campaigns of ethnic cleansing in both the last century and the present one. The creation of Israel was followed by a war that displaced an estimated 750,000 Palestinians; Arab states subsequently drove out hundreds of thousands of their own Jewish citizens. India and Pakistan were co-created in an orgy of violence that killed up to 2 million people. Millions of ethnic Turks, Greeks, Germans, Poles, Hungarians, and Russians were driven out of their ancestral lands.

Yet, terrible as nationalist history is, national identities can’t be reduced to exclusion and bloodshed. These identities have endured precisely because they have demonstrated the power to connect millions of people together into meaningful communities. The historian Benedict Anderson is known for his critical take on nationalism. But he also appreciated its integrative qualities and noted that “regardless of the actual inequality and exploitation that may prevail in each, the nation is always conceived as a deep, horizontal comradeship.”

Both Israelis and Palestinians have shown deep attachments not just to their shared homeland but to their own nations, in precisely this form of “horizontal comradeship.” Edward Said, who remained devoted to his Palestinian identity through long years of exile, is known today for advocating a one-state solution. What’s often missed is that he believed in a binational version of such a state that would recognize the national rights of both communities in Israel/Palestine: Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs. He also acknowledged the necessity of starting with a two-state solution before such state unity could take place.

This strong sense of national belonging explains why the idea of sharing one united and democratic state usually doesn’t poll very well among either Israelis or Palestinians. Not a single political force in either Israel or Palestine supports it. This despite the fact that Israel’s intransigent and brutal occupation of Palestinian territories and its expansion of illegal settlements in the West Bank have made many lose hope in the feasibility of a Palestinian state. Whenever such feasibility improves, so too might enthusiasm for a two-state solution, which even now enjoys a plurality of support in both communities in most polls.

The idea that Palestinians and Israelis can simply give up their respective national identities and merge into one peaceful democratic nation-state doesn’t seem to have much basis in history. Nations in the modern era have almost never decided to willingly dissolve themselves into a single state, and even confederations are quite rare, although laudable when they do happen.

The hubris of outsiders in ignoring the national realities of Israel/Palestine resonates eerily with American attitudes of an earlier era. After 9/11, many liberals and neoconservatives seemed to bank on fantasy visions of the Middle East, thinking that the region could be forcibly rightsized to match such projections. Then as now, many didn’t take the Middle East and its actually existing nations seriously, even as they cheered on the disastrous invasion of Iraq.

Beinart was one such liberal. He realized his mistake, writing a few years later that he was wrong to be “willing to gamble,” because, as he wrote, “I wasn’t gambling with my own life.” Yet a similar attitude underlies his endorsement of turning Israel/Palestine into a federation like Belgium without following the lead of people who actually live there and have no lives to gamble with but their own. Last year, hundreds of thousands of Israelis came out to protest Netanyahu’s government, and Beinart dismissed them as offering merely “a polite brand of ethnonationalism.” They received a similarly cold shoulder from most of the American left. The attitude of Palestinian citizens of Israel could hardly be more different. Ayman Odeh, a popular left-wing member of the Knesset in Israel, greeted the demonstrators as “my future partners in creating a better life for this country.”

Today Odeh calls for a cease-fire in Gaza but remains clear-eyed about what will be necessary to secure a future of peace and coexistence: “The only way we can fulfill our responsibility to the nation of our youngest ones—and to ourselves—is to recognize the nation of Palestine and the nation of Israel, and to establish a state of Palestine alongside the state of Israel,” he wrote in The New York Times.

Neither Israelis nor Palestinians are going anywhere, and neither will give up their national identity. Those who truly want peace and justice in the Holy Land should start by recognizing this reality. Israel can and must be pushed to end the occupation of the Palestinian territories and stop the obstruction of Palestinian sovereignty. But neither it nor Palestine can be pushed to commit ethno-national suicide.

ficlet: W.A.R!Enjolras's birthday party

roughly a bajillion years ago, i said i'd write donation fics for people who gave to abortion related causes. i flagged out about halfway through but i'm back, baby, and i'm determined to fill those requests.

this is for @sharki-leftishark, who was curious to see a birthday celebration in the W.A.R universe, either enjolras or grantaire. so today i bring to you enjolras's birthday, following the events of W.A.R. i never did figure out the month in which this story takes place, so please feel free to mentally set it whenever your own zodiac headcanons dictate.

ETA: and many thanks to @consultingreaders and @give-me-a-minute-to-think for the speedy and helpful beta!

Senior year

Maybe three-quarters of the way through opening the presents, Grantaire realizes that Enjolras is saving Grantaire’s gift for last. Enjolras tosses aside the paper from the hardbound journal that Marius got him, thanks Marius with real earnestness even though it’s the third variation of a notebook he’s received today, starts to reach for Grantaire’s sloppily wrapped bundle, sees the tag, and then his hands stutter instead toward a shiny package that turns out to be from Joly.

The package contains some sort of board game. Courfeyrac insists that the game is “Risk in space, it is so clearly Risk in space—we’ve been over this, people. Enjolras is not allowed within ten yards of a pretend army, remember? We voted?” and then Joly waves his cane at Courfeyrac, shouting, “People change! Also it’s a cooperative game, we’d be harnessing the laser eyes for the power of friendship and community!” and a lively debate ensues.

Grantaire follows some of it. He’s mostly trying not to think about how Enjolras, who believes in self-discipline and delayed gratification and all that shit, apparently considers Grantaire’s contribution to be the grand finale of this whole experience. Enjolras, who loves his friends so much. It’s heady to consider: the height of Enjolras’s expectations and the chance of maybe not meeting them, a quick swoosh up and then down. Not that Enjolras would ever be a dick about it or anything, but they’ve been dating, for-real dating, for months now, and if Enjolras doesn’t love the present, Grantaire will probably know.

After a lifetime, the presents-opening resumes. Feuilly has set up an appointment for Enjolras to interview a real-life union leader. Combeferre contributes a tidy set of books by someone named bell hooks. Courfeyrac’s offering is a gift certificate to the impossibly cool indie movie theater two towns over as well as a bubble gun blower, which immediately sparks off another round of debate.

(“Oh, so fictitious simulated pretend armies are verboten, but you get him a firearm?” Joly manages between laughs.

“One that shoots soap bubbles, you maniac!” Courfeyrac shoots back.

“At least it would be a clean kill,” muses Combeferre, and Eponine’s eye roll would be slightly more convincing if they hadn’t clearly slipped away during the division of the birthday cake to make out.)

And then, well. And then it’s Grantaire’s turn. To see his present opened, not to sneak off to swap spit with his boyfriend, which come to think of it sounds infinitely better, and not just because Enjolras’s dedication to self-improvement extends to learning how to kiss Grantaire to the point of incoherence in under five minutes.

Enjolras unwraps the paper carefully and shakes out the fabric. It’s a T-shirt, emblazoned with the words “ENJOLRAS 2024: ARE YOU BRAVE ENOUGH TO CHANGE THE WORLD?”

“For the campaign,” says Grantaire. “I did the math and that’s the first year you can run for president.”

“You need to be thirty-five,” says Enjolras. A smile is flickering at the corner of his mouth.

“I know,” Grantaire tells him. “I looked it up because I had to know the first year I could vote for you. I cracked open my Government textbook for you, so like. Feel honored.”

“We had Government last year,” Enjolras seems to feel compelled to point out. “When did you—”

Grantaire can feel his face burning. He’s not even sure why, really. “Last March,” he says.

“When you first started pretending to date,” Musichetta fills in with relish. Now that it’s public knowledge among their friends, she brings it up whenever she can.

“I thought you were maybe out of your mind,” says Grantaire, “but like. I don’t know. You’re clearly gonna be somebody. And, uh. You had my vote. And still do, obviously.”

Enjolras is turning a little red too. “You should probably see what the other candidates’ positions are before you make that call,” he mumbles.

Grantaire’s heart soars. He shakes his head. “No way, I’m a single-issue voter and my one issue is ‘how much is this guy like Enjolras?’”

Enjolras ducks his head. He lays the T-shirt down carefully, next to the pile of books and notebooks. He opens his arms. Enjolras, who, now that the dating is real, isn’t really about public displays of affection.

“This is so sweet I think I’m going to actually throw up,” says Eponine as Grantaire steps into the hug. He squeezes hard. Enjolras squeezes harder.

“I like you so much,” Enjolras murmurs into the side of his face. “Also, you’re the one who’s out of your mind, nobody just runs for president—”

“Sure,” says Grantaire, “You gotta be twenty-five to run for House of Reps, so 2014’s the first year you’d be eligible. Now, U.S. Senate, you need to be thirty, so you can run in 2018, when it just so happens a seat will be open—”

Enjolras kisses him on the mouth.

Halli, hallo. Warum sind manche von euch so pessimistisch, dass Hörk im Tatort nicht Canon werden? Wir sollten der ARD auch Mal etwas zutrauen. Schaut Mal, in Verbotene Liebe und der Lindenstraße zum Beispiel gab es so viele tolle LGBTQ Storys. Warum nicht im Tatort? Oder meint Ihr Soaps und Tatort behandelt die ARD unterschiedlich?

Fic: Home for Christmas

Fandom/pairing: Glee, Kurt/Blaine

Event: December Klaine Fanworks Challenge 2023

Prompt: I'll Be Home For Christmas

Words: ~650 words

Rating: Teen and up

Summary: On Blaine’s second Christmas as a missionary, he calls the Anderson clan. But first, he calls Kurt.

Notes: This is part of my Mormon!Klaine universe. It takes place after Out of Eden, which I am still in the process of posting to AO3. It’s among the likely possibilities for their future.

* * *

Christmas was as perfect as it could get on a mission. Blaine spent the day at the refugee center, playing with kids and chatting with the adults who didn't know German, but knew English. He and his companion came here at least twice a week now; President Steele had increased their service hours to ten a week so they could help out with the church’s refugee efforts. And because it was Christmas, they were allowed to spend even more time volunteering.

This was the kind of missionary work Blaine loved—sharing Christ's love not by preaching, but by helping to put smiles on the faces of people who had every reason to frown.

Unfortunately, they couldn't spend forever there. In the evening, they returned to their apartment to make their twice-a-year phone calls home. Blaine’s companion went into the bedroom for his call, shutting the door behind him. Blaine stayed in the kitchen and removed his contraband phone from its hiding place in his bag. He would call Arizona in a few minutes, but first he had someone else to talk to.

“Blaine! I'm so glad you got a chance to call! Merry Christmas!” Kurt’s voice was effervescent. It made Blaine feel light and bubbly inside. He was so grateful to Elder Nixon for convincing him to buy this phone.

“Me too. My companion is in the bedroom now calling his folks, and the door is closed. I love Christmas!” Blaine was already smiling so hard, he could feel a pleasant ache in his cheeks.

"Have you already called your folks?”

“No, he thinks that's what I'm doing now. And I will call them, but I had to hear your voice first. So tell me all about your Christmas!”

“Well—” Kurt launched into a warm and funny story about a candy cane incident involving his dad and aunt. “And yesterday’s caroling at the senior center with the old members of the glee club was fun. Most of our audience really seemed to enjoy it, but my favorite was the old lady who hated us. They had a big table of craft supplies for making decorations, and she kept taking the pipe cleaners and folding them up in suggestive designs and then throwing them at us. And she had the most creative insults! Really spunky! I can only aspire to be so charismatic in my old age.”

Blaine chuckled. Kurt was one of a kind.

“Now, tell me about your day,” Kurt said. “What did you do? I hope you didn't have to sit through an uncomfortable Christmas dinner with a family you hardly know. I hated those. I always felt like I was imposing.”

"It was great!” Blaine told Kurt all about it. They texted regularly, so Kurt was familiar with many of the names and personalities. But talking was special. Blaine didn't get many chances where he was alone enough that he could carry on a conversation out loud on his verboten phone.

“I'm so glad you're getting to volunteer more,” Kurt said. “You sound really happy.”

“I am, when I'm working with them. Some of the other stuff is still hard, but whenever I can help people, everything gets better,” Blaine said. “I still miss you, though. A lot.”

“I know. I miss you, too. I don't say it much, because I don't want to do anything that would pull you back home before you’re ready. But I’ll be really, really happy to see you and hold you and kiss you and … Well, my dad’s in the next room. I can't get too graphic. But I'm looking forward to all that when you get back, Blaine.”

Blaine felt himself blushing—out of delight more than modesty. “Me, too. And I can't wait to be home with you next Christmas.”

“Oh?” Kurt’s tone was flirtatious. “Whose home? Yours or mine?”

“It doesn't matter. Anywhere you are is home to me, Kurt.”

That person yelling plagiarism is probably talking about Verboten, which Verboten and Strictly Business are two total different genres of story, like the only similarities being Enhypen and sexy business men in suits and Sunghoon wanting to hit (and probably not getting to hit). If it wasn't for the fact you are both posting them at the same time, I doubt anyone would be saying anything. I think someone is just projecting their insecurities and is possibly jealous they don't have big sexy brains like you and Cinna, and they can possibly create art like the two of you are.

Also you are welcome, I'll probably send you more ideas as I think of them, secretary and ceo just give you so much you can get away with and I love it. Like there is just so much you can do, and it's so fun. Use some or use them all, they are there for you if you want them.

With the chair, Jay just gives me like brown leather vibes, so I could imagine like one of those fancy leather office chairs in a brown leather, and seeing her sitting in it, all Jay can think is how he needs to buy one of these for his house to fuck her in, since he's gonna do it at work too, but also would like to at home as well. Jay would also have like a brown leather sofa in his office along with a brown leather chair, surrounding a coffee table for more casual meetings, I just see him having like brown leather and deep brown wooden accents on everything, it looks fancy but also kinda homey.

Jay gives y/n a credit card after they get together, and he gets mad when he finds out she isn't using it and instead using her own money. He could just put more money in her account, but instead he takes her bank card and leaves her only with his card, so she has to use it. She could honestly use it all, make him broke, and he would not care. He also gets mad when he realizes she isn't buying much since she doesn't want him to think she likes him for his money, so when she goes shopping the next time, he goes with her, and buys her every single item she grabs but does not buy, since despite saying she doesn't want it, he knows she does, she just doesn't want him to think she is with him for the money.

Jay is quick to memorize y/n's coffee order, so whenever he has a meeting out of the building and she can not attend it, he stops and gets her coffee. It pisses Shiah off so much since even after all these years, he still doesn't know how she takes her coffee.

Y/n's ex shows up at her apartment, and despite leaving, she still does not feel entirely safe, afraid he'll come back again. Jay notices she seems really jumpy and skittish, so one day he pulls her into his office and has her explain what is going on, upon hearing that the ex from the club is bothering her, he is enraged. He immediately hires a security detail to monitor her building, and specifically to fuck up her ex if they see him. Shockingly two weeks later her ex is admitted into the hospital after getting beaten up, he claims it was a fight he lost, but oddly after that he never bothers her again.

Y/n mentions she's never been to a certain country but always wanted to go, then all of the sudden the next day she gets an email, a really important meeting with a client is to be held abroad, in that specific country, and it's such an important meeting that Jay just needs his secretary there with him. Jay however heard her telling her friends about how she wanted to visit, seeing how someone else they know got to visit, and contacts the client claiming they need to meet abroad in that country, or he won't be available for another few months, to which they easily agree.

Jay picks up on y/n's favorite color and finds himself buying stuff in that color for her without thinking. Like he knows she likes 'purple', and finds himself ordering purple paperclips, folders, and pens for the company without even really thinking about it. He would also do little things like wearing a purple tie or having a purple handkerchief in his pocket, in the hopes she notices. He would also do little things like notice she likes this one tea from the breakroom, and makes sure there is always enough of that tea, he could careless if everything else runs out, but he'll be damned if y/n's tea runs out.

Jay hears y/n mention to her friends she would love to go to a concert that coming near soon, but she doesn't have the money to go. Suddenly, the next day Jay is gifted three concert tickets to that exact concert, but claims he can't go due to a prior obligation, and instead offerings then to y/n so she can her friends can go. Little does she know, he purchased the three for them, so they can go, since he wants her to have the world and everything she wants.

Y/n in Jay's office one day, Jay is doing the stereotypical CEO staring out at the skyline while talking and y/n is taking notes of some things he wants done before the meeting next week, and as she turns to leave, she knocks the pencil holder on his desk over, and as she starts to clean it up Jay turns around and all he sees is her perfectly arched over his desk, her skirt riding up showing the tops of the thigh highs from the back, and all he can think of is taking her like that. The sight of her like that, despite the fact she was just so innocently cleaning up what she knocked over, fucks him so much, he's in his private bathroom jerking one out since that sight had him bricked up so badly he was in physical pain from how badly bricked up her was.

my big brained writer nonie i would literally let you write strictly business in my place because WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE HOW ARE THEY SO GOOD AND WHY DO I WANNA INFULGE IN THEM ALL I DONT HAVE TIME AND THE CHAPTERS PLS 😭😭😭💔 thank you so much baby i read these a while ago and still daydream about all of them so much bc they all fit the whole concept and specifically sb!jay so well youre truly an artist 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🤍

and yeah, when i saw cinna's masterlist for verboten i just knew i'd get these accusations but as you said besides the key elements there's nothing similar in our stories but ppl just love starting drama where there is none 😭 i also havent even read verboten yet AND as long as cinna knows i'm not copying her idgaf about anything else bc thats my baby and one of my biggest inspirations like she was the first writer i found on enhablr when i joined the fandom and now we're friends and i'd never ever do smth as plagiarising her hard work, that's just not who i am. also, even if i took inspiration from any of her work if you know me you KNOW i will give credit where its due bc i've been there and know how it feels 🤕 anyway pls go read @heesbaby 's heeseung smau "VERBOTEN" if you want more enha business men content (i'm unedniably in love with her and her writing)

Fauna of Ulei’Var

Worldwide - Northern Auscives, southern Torai, southern Kuman’Tai archipelago, Shadowvale: Halo-Crested/Crowned Owl

A common barn owl subspecies in the homebrew setting of Ulei’Var!

These beautiful and terrifying owls are found all over the world setting, mostly in temperate forests but it’s not unheard of to see them in other biomes. They’re surprisingly bold for owls, sitting and watching passersby even during the day.

Stories go that halo-crested owls are inherently connected to the Shepherd of the Dead, Heriot. Whether her aides, her messengers, or her omens, their plumage’s likeness to the goddess only fuels and perpetuates the tales. So too does their behavior, as at least one is often found in the vicinity of the dying, said to be waiting to guide the soul home to Heriot’s Halls of Silence. As such, killing a halo-crowned owl is multiculturally verboten. Worse than bad luck. For if one slays a Messenger of Heriot, one attracts the Shepherd’s attention before one’s time. And the Shepherd will have what she is due.

Look barn owls in the real world already have the death omen rep~ It’s only fitting that there’s a fantastical subspecies directly related to a goddess of death and the grave and thereby deserving of the reputation! c: Also they’re just very pretty~

:0 can you please tell us more about the Good Folk who follow your husband around? it's okay if that's verboten but I am curious

haha yes I can. primarily it's a lot of things going missing that were Right There a second ago then showing up places they had no right being hours or days later. ex: I once lost my laptop charger. I pulled my room apart, shook out all my bedding, and went a little crazy bc laptop chargers are BIG. they don't just disappear! I finally gave up and created a nest to pout in and when I got up 2 hours later my charger was coiled in a perfect spiral in the center of the nest beneath me. how? the fuck lol? well they were done borrowing it and gave it back I reckon.

we have a puca who is the most active Good Folk around. it's a little dude we leave food and drinks out for periodically and who keeps an eye on the house. I've only seen him once, & it was the middle of the night walking into our dark bathroom. there was a pale face hanging down from the top of our closet doorframe that took me totally by surprise. I was like well.. I don't think he'd scare me like that for no good reason. so I walked out into the dark apartment and our front door was wide open? just. wide open. no one had been out there for hours and none of the cats had gotten out. no one would have noticed for another 10-12 hours so it's a miracle I decided to check lolol

@leftclown probably has more stories than that if you want to ask him directly tho! those are just the first ones off the top of my head.

forever thinking about the donquixotes (no not those ones)

homing went wrong because, without researching or listening to anyone who might be able to guide him, he thought that it would simply be enough to renounce his privilege and live in luxury among the people that others of his standing have abused, tortured and killed. and he thought that would bear no consequences, because ultimately he was still mired in his own privilege and sheltered lifestyle.

and it wasn't even his fault, because how is someone who has never truly suffered, and who was never taught compassion or empathy supposed to understand what would happen??? how is someone who only understands on a surface level that committing atrocities is maybe bad supposed to understand the depths of hurt and violence that would be turned on him?? he had no examples before him! he couldn't have KNOWN. he was already a very unique sort of CD for even being capable of acknowledging that they are also human, which is verboten for the celestial dragons

and in doing so he doomed his children who were never taught another life nor given the tools to survive. he demonstrated how sheltered he truly was because he believed that he could just choose not to be a sadistic monster and be accepted by people who were so deeply harmed by his peers without doing any of the work of becoming a person or acknowledging and uplifting the humanity of others, and he learned that hard lesson because there was no one (justifiably!) who was willing to break that cycle of abuse and oppression to reach out to them

and even THEN the townspeople ultimately spared their lives (mainly just ostracizing them), he and his wife died because he couldn't then learn to start making amends and truly learn to lead lives as humans. but how could he have known that humans ask each other for help and help others in return? it's like expecting a reindeer to know that a skull and crossbones represents poison

AND MJOSGARD (BELOVED) yes he was an unmitigated sack of shit, yes he would be no one and nothing without otohime & the neptune family's benevolence, but when he finally saw the world not protected behind his status but as a vulnerable human and he came to terms with his humanity and decided to reclaim it, he used his privilege to protect shirahoshi and actively leverages the power he wields as a celestial dragon in order to protect the people who are more vulnerable than him. he walks the walk!

and homing and mjosgard reflect doffy and cora in that one of them was given guidance and the opportunity to see the light (as it were) and the other one was further pushed into darkness and hurt, but they are switched. because cora is HOMING. HOMING is the kind and well-meaning one! and MJOSGARD was the entitled, self-centered asshole with no empathy for others, but it was because of the trust and kindness that otohime extended to him that he became who he is now, someone who IS capable of compassion and friendship.

he just needed someone to extend an ENORMOUS amount of unearned grace, and in the way that doffy parallels mjosgard, and law reflects doffy, whom cora then saved with his unconditional love and compassion, the donquixotes (and law) are a wheel of interconnected narratives about cycles of abuse and redemption and love and hurt...

and they are named after DON QUIXOTE, THE MAN OF LA MANCHA, who in short was a member of spanish nobility, but who didn't have much other than his title to speak to that. he set out on his exhausted horse, rocinante, and along the way imposes his will on others, causing them AND himself to come to harm in his fantasies of righteous chivalry. he ends his story disillusioned and regretful of the harm he unintentionally caused. donquixotes masters of getting in over their heads but nevertheless always doing the absolute most.

anyway i'm super normal about donquixotes. oda can't keep doing this

#one piece #donquixote homing #donquixote mjosgard #sorry this is so long and rambly i have not organized these thots

Review: The Stars May Rise And Fall By Estella Mirai

For the first time ever, I’m reviewing a book by one of my moots here on tumblr, and the moot in question is, as you might have guessed, Estella Mirai! I didn’t read the synopsis before I bought the book, I must confess that right away. I skimmed it, and I saw, gay Phantom Of The Opera retelling set in 2000s Japan, and I knew I had to read it. My little readers’ heart fell in love at hello…And boy, did it stay that way.

Little bit about the premise first, Teru is the drummer of failing visual kei band La Rose Verboten, who are, in his own words, good, but not great, or at least, not great enough to land any real success in Japan’s cut-throat music industry. Their only claim to fame is their lead singer, Bara, whose vocal range is mediocre at best, but his attractiveness has garnered the attention of a small group of girls who regularly show up at La Rose’s performances, not for the rest of the band, but for him. Naturally, this all changes when Teru gets a text from a mysterious stranger who claims that he can help him, and after said stranger, known only as Rei, orchestrates an incident that causes Bara to quit the band, Teru is forced to become the band’s new lead singer. Thus begins the story of La Rose’s rise to fame, and Teru’s relationship with Rei, a disgraced former star who was left permanently disabled after a car accident which killed his previous boyfriend.

I must confess, I don’t know much about the visual kei scene—I hadn’t been born yet when visual kei was in its prime, but I didn’t need to come in with prior knowledge—Everything about the visual kei scene was explained organically by an author who clearly knows their stuff about it. I truly enjoyed seeing La Rose’s progression from nobodies to stars, and the problems that the band face—From Minori and Teru’s parents disapproving of their sons’ career choices, to Minori facing the threat of having to give up on his dreams if the band doesn’t start making more money were very true to life and well done. I also enjoyed Rei’s character development, starting from wanting to vicariously live through Teru, and enjoy the success he feels should have been his, and ending with him sacrificing his relationship with Teru so that he won’t choose him over his dreams. By the end of the book, my neighbours must have thought that I was crazy, because I was full on screaming, kicking my legs like a teenage girl. This book left me on the best emotional high possible, and I would’ve loved to see a little more of Teru and Rei rekindling their relationship, and making up for all of the lost time. My ramblings aside, this was a great read, and I would highly recommend it. Head to Goodreads to be redirected to the right Amazon page for your country if you want to buy a copy!
