If i wasn't going to reblog it originally, demanding I reblog is not going to make me magically reblog it.

Want me to reblog your art, even if its something I personally don't care about / not in the fandom for?

Write an image description which is included in the original post. I am 99% more likely to reblog your art if its accessible, even if I have no idea who the characters are.

this is assuming its on art you normally wouldn't jump to reblog. i myself only rb stuff i really really like so .

The 'rude/demanding' tone would be stuff along the lines of "if you like but don't reblog I'll [threat]" which i see surprisingly often, both serious and more silly

Don't let the media make what's happening with Israel, Iran and Jordan into some "middle-east problem" again. This was entirely orchestrated and encouraged by the US and the UK. Israel initiated every attack against Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Iran. Israel KILLED, targeted, the children and grandchildren of Palestinians political leaders. And the US could've stopped all of this by simply not giving Israel money and weapons bu they didn't.

The Western media has constructed this narrative that countries like Iraq and Iran are the problem and the western nations are the antidote keeping their 'terrorism' at bay. No, they have always and at all times started the conflicts, or worsened them.

Because they want the land, they want hegemony over the resources of that region and that is it. And they've demonstrated already by killing over 33,000 people that they'll do anything.

Stop joking about World War 3 and take the loss of lives and the horror of what is happening seriously. This cannot keep escalating

While we're at it: using language that downplays genocide is a form of genocide denial.

Joe Biden isn't doing a bad job, Joe Biden is providing material support for genocide.

Israel isn't handling the situation badly, Israel is committing genocide.

Employing euphemisms minimizes the reality of this genocide. It's disrespectful and dangerous.

If you are more uncomfortable with the word genocide than you are with the reality of genocide, then you are not prepared to be part of any serious discussion. Work on that on your own time.

the "irreversible damage" book cover is still perhaps the most succinct demonstration of how the laserfocus the detranxiety movement has on muh poor little girls is fundamentally an outgrowth of the general terror about declining (white) birth rates and white woman fertility as a dwindling resource. like, what's actually wrong with the kitschy smiling little girl in that picture? she looks pretty content for someone "mutilated." is she missing her head, brain, heart, limbs or what? anything that would obstruct her in living out her 8 decades on this earth? hell no, it's much worse than that. it's something that actually matters. she's missing her ability to produce White Babies. you're telling me we've spent decades working to overturn roe or at least make it as difficult as possible and now that we succeeded they've found a way to weasel out of being a reproductive resource anyway? that just won't do.

so if you don’t know what shifting is, a quick explanation is that it’s the idea that the multiverse exists and that you can transport your soul into a multiverse where your favorite characters are real. It’s a whole thing and was hugely popular on TikTok in 2020+2021.

Anyway I am Not judging anyone or even about to comment on shifting in itself.

But there’s also a concept that you can “script” the universe you shift to and even pick your appearance while you’re there.

And in late 2021 I posted a cosplay video that got a fair amount of views and people kept tagging each other in the comments and saying stuff like “I’m faceclaiming her for next time I shift.”

Which I swear did not bother me I was like okay you funky kids.

But two people specifically started taking about using my face when they shift universes to date Draco Malfoy. And I was like man. Don’t use my face to kiss Draco Malfoy. Im begging you.

I didn’t actually say that in the comments mind you I just let them be.

So anyway a few months ago someone posted a video discussing that they were one of the main shifting influencers and they faked everything and they were just lucid dreaming the entire time. So as you can imagine, shifters were very upset to hear this

I made a single comment about this situation. Maybe two sentences. And people are. Very angry.

And now for months I keep getting comments on my TikToks that I’m too ugly to date Draco Malfoy. This is considered the ultimate insult to them, I believe.

“Trust me. Nobody wants that face dating Draco.”

They’re also mostly running K-Pop fancam accounts and I’m trying to figure out the Draco Malfoy K-Pop link but so far I’ve got nothing.

Idk where I’m going with this I just felt like other people should know that I’m currently K-Pop Draco Malfoy’s number 1 enemy.

someone explain to me how Moon still somehow speaks perfectly fluent Raksuran despite last hearing the language before he knew how to fly, which means he was younger than even Frost, Bitter, and Thorn were in 'The Cloud Roads'.

Like, please, imagine for me if Moon's 30 (40?) year isolation from his culture meant more than him being the Raksuran Equivalent of a Tomboy Warrior Princess.

Imagine Moon having a distinct, strange accent that other Raksura immediately pick up on, because he's learned the various Trade Languages all his life and hasn't spoken Raksuran since he was extremely young.

Imagine Moon not being able to pronounce certain words correctly , stumbling over his words, or getting frustrated when he's not able to communicate his meaning properly because he's more fluent in five other languages than he is the language of his birth.

Moon not knowing how to read Raksuran is a nice touch............ except it's never really impacted him or the plot and it pretty much never comes up because why would it?

The Raksura barely write anything down, Moon never needs to know how to read, it's never a triumph of learning and self-determination when he's able to decipher some important writing on the wall that would have been unintelliglble to him just a book or two ago; him trying to learn how to read is just barely mentioned in passing and as far as I can remember he never fully learns to read either, and I read literally all of the books. I legitimately could not tell you if Moon ever truly learned to read Raksuran because it's literally just not important, either to him as a character or to the plot lol.

Just.......... Moon's been has been seperated from his people since he was too young to fly. And he's in his 30s or 40s. Him being an Outsider and an oddity to Raksuran cultural norms would have been so much more believable if he couldn't talk the talk or walk the walk, not just him being uncomfortable because he's experiencing Role Reversal Misogyny, and doesn't know Raksuran body language, and keeps threatening to eat people as a scare tactic and then gets mad when people are afraid he's going to eat them.

Bit telling that for years and years evangelical religious extremists have been allowed on university campuses with their bullhorns and horrific imagery where they harass students into physical altercations and when students complain to the university’s administration they just shrug their shoulders citing freedom of speech but when those same tuition-paying students start protesting against war and genocide they call SWAT

im noticing that for a lot of americans “free palestine” has been an ideological motto and symbol rather than them actually believing in their heart that freedom is attainable and necessary
