#we will outlive you

[laineystein]

I know that the media would have you believing that war is constant and ruthless but sometimes it’s a lot of sitting around and waiting for orders. And a lot of talking. Really introspective talking. And the things that people say when there’s a very real chance that they might die, are probably the most poignant and well said. So here’s a conversation my unit had in a million different ways with a million different words:

We love beings Jews. We love being Israeli. We can’t imagine being anything else or belonging to any other group. But this statistic that we are 0.2% of the worlds population has been so much more than a statistic lately. We all feel it. We feel how so much of the world has turned their backs on us — how the same people that posted those stupid blue squares on instagram are now using language that calls for our genocide and the destruction of our homeland. We know that for so many people we are pawns in their political game. We know that so many people think we are sub-human and therefore deserving of less respect than any other person. We don’t need anyone to tell us what they think of us because so many people are showing us by what they’re doing or not doing. And that’s okay. We’re used to it. We’ve always been alone. We’ve always fought (and won) our own battles. We’ll win this one without any of you. It’s fine. But it makes me think about how the same people that alienate us are the ones that critique how we live in insular communities (like the neighborhood I grew up in Crown Heights) and how our religion is closed and how we don’t need a place (read: Israel) where we all live together (assumedly because no other group has such a place — which is just a total lie). And there’s this thought amongst many Jews that communities like the one I grew up in in Brooklyn exist as a result of the persecution we faced. Just like there’s this thought that Israel exists because of the Holocaust. The survivors of the worst thing that can happen to a group decided to live together and close out the outside world. Now I’d argue that we certainly haven’t closed anyone out in Israel - I’m currently serving with Israelis that are Arab and Druze. But is our country very Jew-centric? Absolutely. Just like Crown Heights is very Jew-centric. Goyim can/do live and visit Crown Heights but it is a place that caters to what is otherwise considered a counter-culture in America. Just like Israel caters to Jews in an area of the world where all of us were expelled. We are fine living in these places. We have created these communities and curated them to our Jewish way of life. But people wonder why we close ourselves off and why we need special spaces - and that same ignorance is the answer. Sure, our diets are different and we have laws about how we go to school and work and pray that make it very difficult to live in a non-Jewish world but there’s a very real truth that so many people are scared to say aloud so I will: We don’t trust goyim. Goyim have never stood up for us or protected us. Only we can keep ourselves safe. Only we truly care about our wellbeing. We do not feel safe around goyim. And I think we have every right to be distrustful. We have every right to think that our survival and security rests solely in our fellow Jew. So while this has all proven that the Jewish people are amazing and loving and stronger than even we knew, it’s also only cemented this idea that we absolutely need our own world. And it’s clear that we’ve essentially lived in our own world all this time anyway - our world view is not your world view. Our experiences are so incredibly different than the goy experience. If you’re not Jewish and especially if you’re not an Israeli Jew, you can’t possibly understand any of this. And that’s fine! But don’t get angry when, in the absence of your support, we’ve figured it out. And don’t be upset when your Jewish friends - Israeli or not - have pushed you away because you didn’t show up in the way they’d hoped. You’ve merely proven us right. We do not need you. Our communities are enough. Our country is enough. Together, we will outlive you.

I will always congratulate you in Yiddish.

I will always compliment you in Yiddish.

I will always use my language to make you laugh.

My language will always the tongue of joy.

Because if I let my language die with me,

be a thing of grief,

be a piece of history,

I am letting what killed it win.

there's something comical about Heritageposts' "blocklist" of Jewish blogs (on which my blog is listed), which consists entirely of Jews, plus some people who have been vocal allies to the Jewish community on Tumblr. (i love you all!)

Heritageposts is a known antisemite (i blocked them months ago for their explicit Jew-hatred), and they have clearly been collecting the names of Jews who have been speaking up about the tidal wave of Jew-hatred that we've been receiving from antisemites.

any Jew, and any non-Jewish ally, who speaks out loudly enough about antisemitism, Heritageposts adds to their list.

and ... i think this little piss-ant actually believes that a blocklist is going to intimidate a group of Jews into silence!!

honey. please.

we have been dealing with Jew-hatred for over 2000 years. our relatives went through the Holocaust within living memory. we've been slaughtered by the millions and shoved into mass graves.

we have been murdered by Nazis, by Communists, and by everyone in between.

we have just been through another recent pogrom by a group of fucking terrorists (Hamas is not your blorbo, kids!), and we are more united than ever.

we've been through this before, and by much worse than you.

and we are still here. and we are still proudly Jewish. we love being Jews, and we love our Jewish community.

and long after you are gone, when no one even remembers that you existed at all, we will still be here.

we will outlive you.

I have rarely worn any Jewish symbols but now I'm getting out my Magen David because you fools have activated the "screw you" gene

#screw you I deserve to live #screw you my family deserves to live #screw you we have a right to have a country #screw you we will not be killed #screw you we will not be intimidated or chased out #we survived much much more than you fools can even imagine #we'll outlive you just as we've outlived everyone else who's ever tried to exterminate us over the course of our history

[im-not-your-nice-jewish-boy]

fascinating

I'm sure someone else has already pointed this out, but it's very interesting that the goyim steal our ideas and our culture to harm us.

Christians (Catholics in particular): stole our stories, our laws, our jobs; they then used those things to justify the Inquisition, the stereotypes about money and Jewish association with it, and then used those laws that they didn't (and still obviously don't) even rightly understand themselves to bring incalculable inhumanity against everyone who didn't fit into what they demanded from women in general (but in particular women who did Literally Anything Men Didn't Like) to queer folks (of whom I am one) to so many different ethnic groups of people that even they probably don't know the number

Nazis: Used anything and everything about us (regardless of the fact that it was just flat out wrong) to justify their wholesale slaughter of us as being righteous

And now we have the antisemitic left who steal our voices, our history, out trauma, and our holidays to gaslight us into doing what they want. And when that doesn't work, they ghettoize us, demonize us, traumatize us, call for our deaths, and cheer on our killers all in the name of righteousness, just like every single other group of people who have ever spoken and thought the way they do

Have you not stolen enough from us already?

Fuck off and leave us alone.

Sorry to be posting twice in one day but now I wanna talk about Sybil's last line of dialogue at the end of Wallaru. Bro says "The Spiral will always need its Scion." In terms of new villains always arising, new worlds to explore, etc.

Now of course in the real world this means something totally different than in narrative; for us it means yay Wizard101 will continue and it's not ending and shit and thats good!!! But in universe, I believe that fact would have brought different feelings. Like sadness. Or anger. Or maybe just numbness.

Like if you think about it. The implications. The Wizard will never, CAN never rest. It's an ongoing, neverending thing of always being needed. It's You and ONLY You. There will never NOT be evil. If not GF Spider, then the Schism. If not the Schism, then the Old One. If not the Old One, then someone else. Someone or Something will always come up as a Threat that only the Scion (for some reason. Gods exists here) is expected and able to defeat. When Sybil said that I was legit terrified because gotdamn I can't retire???? I will Always be The Legend who Always saves the day???

Like even setting aside the social consequences of this (the whole people suspecting us/fearing us Thing) imagine what that does to your emotional and mental health. Fuck even physical health. Going through all that strenuous trauma and exercise and magical ordeals and shit???? The pressure of knowing it's the universe at stake, not just you or the world? I actually would have died just in arc 2 personally how the fuck are we supposed to carry this. For the REST. OF OUR LIVES. FOR HOWEVER LONG WE LIVE

✨ Anyways here's hoping the Schism Soldier is arc 5's new big baddie haha #enemiestolovers101 😘✌️💕💕💕

#im not good with words ir explaining things but i still wanted to talk about That. what sybil said #thats fucking rough man. thats fucking rough #ALWAYS???? the spiral will ALWAYS need its scion??? the fuck you mean. whats this ALWAYS business #mr krabs voice: whats this WE stuff!? #i just need a picture of malorn and the wizard getting drunk as fuck on a tuesday together looking beaten and bitter. beaten and bitter. #idk if the wizard is like quasi-immortal now or what. how long do we live actually #are we like gonna outlive dyvim. mellori and the bat??? will we be alive for centuries and STILL defending the spiral??? hello?????????????? #so like what happens if and when. we die. is the universe just fucked then? #what is the point of the council of light. gf spider and gm raven. BARTLEBY. if none of them do shit #they could literally do anything they wanted to but its US that has to be superman. okay #id actually go crazy i would actually just Become the joker guys. guys i would fucking lose it #wizard101 #w101 #wiz101 #text posts #wallaru spoilers #wizard101 spoilers #can you guys tell i just want the soldier to come back

Sometimes, I really want an animated show about the OT characters. Their adventures, serious and silly, as they become friends and family long before Luke and Leia discover that they're siblings. Stories about Leia struggling with going from princess to general. Luke struggling with being a Jedi and a commander. The Rogue Squadron and their adventures. Han and Chewie barely keeping up with the Space Twin shenanigans.

But, then I remember how each of these characters were treated in the Sequel Trilogy, and I realise that it doesn't matter. No amount of stories about them will change the fact that they all die alone away from each other, that they gave up their childhood, their homes, themselves to the safety of the galaxy and that none of it ever mattered. And I can't enjoy canon stories about them because it won't change their ending, and I can't forget that.

#sequel trilogy #this is not really anti sequel trilogy because i dont hate it but i really dislike how the OT characters were portrayed #luke skywalker #leia organa #han solo #chewbacca #lando calrissian #they ALL deseved better #i have to live in a worls where Luke abandoned his sister and i just refuse to believe he would do that #the fact that they made Leia wait for Luke has sooo angry because she deserved better than to be abandoned by her brother and best friend #and do NOT get me started on the divorce!!! #pro jedi #we deserved to see Luke thriving as a Jedi because you know he would #we deserved to see Leia kick the Senate into a good working New Republic #Han should've been a house-husband and i stick by that #Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy deserved to outlive him #also i know the comics exist but they're barely considered canon unless the writer for a new live action SW project #wants to steal the comic writer's stories without compensation

And I find being Jewish to be a massive red flag because y’all are literally the worst people on the planet. I cannot wait for the pogroms to start back up because you filth are getting way too uppity for your own good.

The funny thing is I used to not be so antisemitic until I saw the way you filth treat atheists and god I get why people hate you filth so much!!!

We are not the weak Jews you think we are. Greater than you have tried, and all have failed. Fuck around and find out.

zhongli thoughts im bored

i am obsessed with the imagery of him holding a golden fan just below his eyes and gazing over the city

highly proficient in all makeup, cosmetics and accessories, you need to dress up nicely for a fancy occasion he can have you looking like a goddess just give him some time

he sits in the sun a lot, when he had the exuvia he would sit on the tallest mountains and sleep in the sun

Unlike the other archons zhongli is closely attached to the sun, he is like the sun in many ways, he guides people, brightens their lives, plants and life thrive under his care

However the sun is still deadly, those who get too close to him burn up in his presence and those who keep their distance are trapped in the shadow he casts and lose themselves, like the sun in the sky he is meant to shine brightly all by himself

i am obsessed with the imagery of zhongli sitting in a bathtub and all of his draconic features just come out one by one, first his arms turn gold and then come his claws. Next comes the horns on the top of his head as his hair grows longer and longer. Last is the tail which flops over the edge of the tub

He can't sing but he has some talent with instruments, a habit he picked up from being around quizhong, ping and venti for so long, he can work with string instruments best

He will pat your head, he can't help it, if hu tao has her hat off and she makes him smile that hand will be on her head

crazy thought of the liyue gang playing hide and seek, like xiangling, xingqiu, yunjin, xinyan, hutao and chongyun playing this huge game and they run all over the city it becomes a huge affair at one point xiangling is "it" and she can't find anyone but she comes across zhongli sitting in his favorite spot at third round knockout and she's like "sorry to disturb you but have you seen hu tao" and he smiles and is like "well i don't know about the director but i saw a blue haired exorcist up at the terrace he might be around the glaze lilies" and xiangling thanks him and goes to chase chongyun down, zhongli whispers behind him "she's gone" and then 4 of them, xingqiu, yunjin, xinyan and hutao just poke out from behind him (they want to keep hiding behind him but with a smile he shoos them away to play the game properly)

zhongli is painfully popular you can take the man out of the archon but you can't take the archon out of the man

zhongli likes to keep the moon by his side specifically the people who are like the moon; guizhong, venti, xiao, azhdaha, rukkha, ganyu the list goes on and on -perhaps they are naturally drawn together its unclear who gravitates to who but even liyue itself is a beautiful moon he can cling to

zhongli can petrify things with his hands, just lightly brushing his fingertips over anything will encase it in stone and with a short breath it will crumble to dust

mr. workaholic the reason why we never see him at work and always on vacation is because he goes crazy and completes all the paperwork and it scares hutao so she kicks him out (but then he spends all his money so he has to come back the cycle never ends)

as a consultant zhongli takes on many jobs if they hire him from wangsheng he’s quite expensive though ganyu tries her best to direct the qixing away from him but some things are unavoidable and they require his assistance

#zhongli #genshin impact #zhongli headcanons #the liyue hide and seek has been in my mind for like two weeks lol #since he was alive at the time i like to believe he knew one of the moon sisters #maybe that is where this moon affection originated! #give me 3 minutes there is too much sun and moon symbology going on listen listen listen why is zhongli the only one associated with the su #why is everyone close to him associated with the moon even liyue is named after the moon listen listen i think its neat i think its great #hes like batman the moons are his robins and he keeps losing them like they just die and shit #we have lost quite a few moons mister zhongli like i'll knock on wood but i have this terrible feeling you will outlive the other moons too #there are so many moon characters just people whose symbols and themes are all connected to the moon #i have seen the theories to some extent but i can't discuss it #i can only be so delusional #sometimes i wonder if im talking to myself #i mean like that’s okay the void can be welcoming i suppose

My world’s on fire but this is pretty great 💙🇮🇱

I LOVE that we ended up having the same favorite companion, Raul is the best!!

YESSSSSSS 🤝!!!!! RAUL REALLY IS THE BEST!!!!!! I LOVE HIM AND HIS STORY SO MUCH!!!!!!!!

His line before the Second Battle of Hoover Dam made me AN EMOTIONAL MESS ( ᵒ̴̶̷̥́ _ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀ )!!!!!!

I’M HIJACKING THIS ASK TO RAMBLE ABOUT MY HEADCANONS INVOLVING RAUL!!!

• He’s AroAce

• When upgrading the Presidential Suite in the Lucky 38, Madison (Courier Six) gets the Sunset Sarsaparilla Vending Machine just for Raul. While it comes out of her pay Mr. House restocks it regularly.

• Raul and her both LOVE and bond over sweets. In the beginning Raul would play the 😔 “At my age this might be my last chance to enjoy something sweet” card. It worked every-time on her.

• When Raul gets bubble gum he gives her the temporary tattoo it comes with. Madison hands them out to kids she encounters on her travels (Freeside, The Boomers ETC.)

• She indulges Raul’s sweet tooth to the point he has to go see Dr. Usanagi to get a bad cavity fixed and a few teeth implants.

• Raul teaches her about basic weapon repair. However not enough that she doesn’t need him.

• Together they collect the Star Sunset Sarsaparilla Caps. While not surprised they're both disappointed by the reward. Raul keeps the Pew Pew gun while Madison gives the toy deputy badges to kids.

Afterwards they continue to collect the Star Sunset Sarsaparilla Caps. Inside the Lucky 38 there’s a jar filled with them.

• Out of all the human companions, Raul is the one Madison trusts the most. She will privately discuss Mr. House's plans and what he wants her to do. Madison loves all her companions but knows not everyone would support the actions Mr. House deems necessary. Madison believes once they see the results, they’ll understand. Which obviously isn't the case.

Other companions are uncertain, but Raul is completely aware how loyal Madison is to Mr. House.

Arcade is the best example saying, “I have to say I don't understand where you're going with Mr. House. The man's been manipulating the locals for as long as anyone can remember. If you help him kick the NCR and Legion out, he's going to keep right on doing it. The people in Freeside will be just as bad off as they ever were. If you can find a way to push Mr. House out of the picture as well, I think everyone will be better off."

• Before Raul leaves for his own journey post game, Madison gives him a custom medal. She designed it but commissioned Michael Angelo to make it. It’s something Raul always wears.

• Although Raul becomes the Ghost-Vaquero who hunts down those who prey on the weak. Raul still makes it a point to visit her from time to time. He knows she’d miss his beautiful face.

• While unintentional when Raul visits they ALWAYS end up taking a nap together. They’ll be sitting on one of the couches talking then BOOM knocked out. Old habits die hard.

• Since Madison’s medicine skill is really high she’ll massage Raul and try to help him with his pain.

• Speaking of which after the Second Battle of Hoover Dam Madison’s first luxury purchase is renting out the ENTIRE Ultra-Luxe Casino’s bathhouse.

I imagine they don't typically allow Ghouls in there so she uses this chance to try and help Raul.

Since soaking in salt water has a lot of benefits for your health like easing muscle cramps, relieving stiffness in joints, back pain ETC. She wants to show Raul her appreciation for everything he’s done for her. Also they’re both extremely sore after that huge battle.

I’m not sure if the saltwater used in the Ultra-Luxe Casino is sterile but if it is it’d also be good for any open wounds Raul might have as a Ghoul.

• Madison offers to cover the entire cost for Raul to be put in a chamber similar to Mr. House’s. However he rejects her offer. When Raul eventually dies she broadcasts a recording of a mariachi band through every radio. She doesn't announce his death wanting the legend of the Ghost-Vaquero to live on forever.

This exchange perfectly describes their bond:

Madison: "Come, Raul, adventure awaits!"

Raul: "Sorry boss, but as much as I'd like to risk getting killed by your side, you seem to already have some help." or "Words cannot contain my excitement at the chance to throw myself headlong into danger with you again, boss."

#To clarify Raul doesn't die young or anything. Raul could live another 200+ years. #Madison will just always outlive him because she did get put into a chamber similar to Robert's. #ALSO THIS LINE OF HIS KILLS ME -> #If we run we might still catch Benny! Well you might. I'll just be wheezing along behind you. #Fallout New Vegas #MaddyMoreauPost #Raul Tejada #Long Text #Long Post

fyi - every time you little Jew-hating bigots harass us Jews online, we just become more Jewish.

and all the while, Jew-hatred is corroding your brains, and making you more and more ignorant and stupid.

while you're becoming more disconnected, we Jews are becoming more engaged in Jewish community than we have been in a generation.

we Jews are finding ourselves, and each other. we are uplifting the Jewish community. we are celebrating life, because in Judaism, life is sacred.

you are lost. you are selling your humanity. and all for what? for the chance to tell a Jew that you hope we all get raped and murdered? for the chance to tell a Jew, "Hitler should have killed more of you"? for the chance to get random antisemitic strangers on the internet to like and reblog your Jew-hate posts on Tumblr dot com?

i hope selling your humanity was worth the social media clout.

i for one can't identify with your brand of mindless, soulless depravity.

you are contributing nothing to society but bigotry and hate. and long after you are gone, long after everyone has forgotten that you even existed at all, we Jews will still be here.

we will outlive you.

Found the ultimate theme song for Eileen, Bloody Crow, and the Bloodborne crow-hunters in general.

Feather, feather Can you tell me Where the hours go Where time flows? Is it written upon the stars Upon the Milky Way That we must burn bright Before we fade away?

Mother, mother Can you tell me Where the fire goes When the flames cease? "From the ashes to the astral plain Where the setting sun meets the sea, Brendan."

I live by the river Where the old gods still dream Of inner communion With the open sea

Through the eye of the hunter In search of a prey Neither beast nor human In my philosophy

If you don't recognize me Well, it's simply because I've outgrown these old clothes Time to move on

For you and I will outlive The masks life gave us When this shadow play comes To a close

—

The song seems to be a reference to the mythological tale of Bran and his voyage, but there are so many good inspo-things for Bloodborne.

Bran means “raven” and there are raven sounds in the song 😭

Some of the lyrics just fit BB so well, and the original name of the crow-hunter character in Bloodborne was “Brandon” which is the same name as Brendan. They all mean raven, these names.

Anyway, I am going to draw all of the crow-hunters soon and with the lyrics of this song. This is too perfect.
