Freshly peeled scream boy.

@bilgisticallykosher submitted: Picture I got last month, I'm really pleased with it. :) (No ID needed: Cicada and its discarded clothes.)

Somewhat freshly peeled...10/10

[bilgisticallykosher]

It sure can! If all the holders along its little hot dog body are at the same height, it's even kosher! And adorable!

Out of season, but you can see some of my Chanu-kats here. Top right (blue circle) is kosher, because while all the cats are different heights, the holders are the same (minus the shamash (the tall "helper" candle)). The one on the left (red circle) is NOT because all the holders are in the various kitties which are not the same height.

But still cute.

There's a blue one in the first picture that's also kosher, but it's a weird angle. You can also see a cat dreidle in the bottom right on the Jewish star plate!

I did not know that a menorah can also be a weenie dog.

Jewish Miku!!! It says something that I wasn't ever in yeshiva and still recognized the uniform instantly. I love the pose and the flow of her clothing! So dynamic, so good. Her little clips are adorable, too.

I couldn't resist giving this trend a go, so here's Jewish Miku, featuring that one godawful uniform that every Bais Yaakov on the eastern seaboard seems to use.

[bilgisticallykosher]

I still feel as though I haven't processed this yet. These are my brothers and sisters. For no reason. As we enter Elul, I'm so aware of Tishrei coming, of Simchat Torah, of the anniversary. I will blow the shofar every day in Elul with extra feeling. Pray the extra tehillim, with hope that everything, anything, will help prevent another death of a hostage.

I was so ecstatic when the Bedouin man was rescued the other day, and now I'm numb. There's an American hostage that's from my town, and I'm scared. I'm scared for October 7th this year. I pray everyone is safe.

All of Israel mourns the loss of these six beautiful souls.

May Hashem bring comfort to their families, may their memories be for a blessing, and may Hashem avenge them.

LMAOOOOO

We've bean bad.

It isn't time to apologize, though. I can not. (Because. There's not cans.)

Updated the name of my blog and now my wife @ironwoman359 is being hilariously tormented by her friend group with pictures of things filled with beans that should not be.

[bilgisticallykosher]

WOAAAAH LOOK AT THE LINES AND MOVEMENT! And his pose and his form! And look at how you designed his hair and Roman's! >:3 Love.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER RIGHT- Have a Remus that has been eating my mind for 2 days 🤣 HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAT BOY

@thatsthat24

Coloured without shading and extra doodles I made along this under the cut ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

[bilgisticallykosher]

REMUS BIRTHDAY ART TIME! AW YEAH!

So, I know Thomas said his voice was based on Prince Ahmed from Twisted, but when he was introduced I associated him with another Starkid character who shares a name with him...

Kinda learned to draw better on some of these! The last one is my favorite. @thatsthat24

[bilgisticallykosher]

This is great detail and very important to know tbh.

so i’m watching avps and the subtitles are everything

[bilgisticallykosher]

CRYING, this is SO funny. Your art is really good and expressive, this is amazing.

these tags made me laugh

[ID: A simplistic multi-panel comic of the characters from Sanders Sides, told through screenshots of a Tumblr post.

Panel 1: Janus, dressed in a suit, sits at the prosecution desk from Selfishness vs. Selflessness. The screenshot, a post from @/crustaceousfaggot reads "Is lying ever ethically correct" Panel 2: Extremely simple renditions of Roman, Thomas, and Virgil in their courtroom attire sit on one side of a desk, while Patton, looking worried, sits on the other side. The screenshot is of Tumblr poll results, reading "Yes - 97.6% / No - 2.4%". Panel 3: Logan, sitting in a chair, squints at the scene from a distance. Panel 4: Logan sits in the back of audience seating, surrounded by chairs as well as text reading [chairs]. He speaks with a speech bubble with Tumblr tags in it, reading "#who voted no? immanuel kant isnt going to fuck you" Panel 5: Patton sits in a folding chair leaning forward to hold his head in his hands, in the pose of the Shinji chair meme.

OKAY finally reading this, I got impatient waiting for the end of Little Kestral with not knowing what a multrum really was and holy shit holy shit. Everything is. Holy shit. I don't recognize any of those names, except Patton obviously. But Logan's POV is insane, and yeah, I didn't think of how Logan's promise to lead Roman to the prince would be seen by outsiders. Roman thinking he's a coward makes so much sense.

ALSO. I KNOW BLOOD OATHS WERE MENTIONED IN LITTLE KESTREL. BUT. HOLY SHIT. How horrifying. You wrote that so well. And oh my god. Janus is perfect lmao I love him. Roman seems to allow him more liberties than perhaps others from (listen I will never ever get these two names right so) M-kingdom have, according to Virgil. But it's kind of hard to tell at this point. I'm intrigued. And love that Logan doesn't get the sarcasm. And that Janus is super not telling him that Logan lied, re: it's upside down. I laughed out loud. UGH this is so good already.

Characters:

Main: Roman, Logan, Janus

Appear: Virgil, Remus, Patton, Thomas

Summary:

Roman of the Northern Tribes, 3rd in line for a seat at the table and decorated war general in the Mocnejsi Kingdom’s army stumbles upon a traveling group whose carriage has a painted over emblem of the enemy kingdom on its side. In exchange for the lives and freedom of his other party members, Logan strikes a blood bonded deal with the general to deliver the crowned prince of Prijaznia into his custody. Logan becomes his prisoner and with an ancient secret code book belonging to the prince, he guides Roman and his troupes through dangerous magical locations, perilous tasks, and puzzling riddles. Logan knows, of course, that he signed his own death warrant when he struck such a deal, whether or not they ever make it to the destination at the end of his book, but he is determined to go down kicking, screaming and spitting in Roman’s face all the way to the guillotine. He’s a dead man, but he’ll achieve as much as he can before Roman inevitably kills him. Because here’s the trick; Logan’s the prince.

Un poquito error

A little mistake. Logan's learning Spanish. He has some trouble remembering some of the vocabulary. Gift for Laoft server Valentine's gift exchange! He said jokes were okay. So!

Masterpost | Discord server | AO3

Word count: 893

Warnings: Remus has two lines in this fic, and they contain all the warnings. Mostly his first sentence, which is the worst thing I've ever written; I apologize to anyone with even the smallest Spanish knowledge. Brief mention of prostitute, cannibalism.

-----

Okay, so it had started as a way to insult Roman in several different languages, he knew. But for some reason, Thomas, and therefore Logan, had been trying to learn Spanish. He'd come to Roman, and claimed it was a way to help Thomas learn somehow? Roman hadn't understood the specifics much, but Logan had been in lecture mode and Roman had already been planning his lesson plans in his mind instead of paying complete (or any) attention, so sue him.

Now, Roman had been helping Logan learn Spanish, passing by in the halls, official classroom learning in the mindscape, and even some field trips!

Remus had been un-helping by purposely mispronouncing things as often as possible. (“Hhhhhola, yo soy tu prostituto y me l-l-l-lamo chipollte pee-can't.”)¹

They were on one such field trip now. They were learning food, so of course, it was the perfect time to visit a restaurant! He had really outdone himself this time, if he said so himself. Which he did.

A full on outdoor dining experience in Mexico, mariachi band playing, flags waving about, little wooden tables, colorful chairs dotted across the cobblestones. There was no need for lights, because of course he could control the sun, but he had them anyway, because he cared about the aesthetic, damnit!

…Oh, right. And teaching Logan, of course.

He swept a piece of his hair back and adjusted himself in the chair, and Logan cleared his throat.

“Roman, I'd like to-”

“Ah-ah!” Roman waggled his finger in his face. “¡En español por favor!”²

Logan sighed.

“Okay, fine. This is all very pretty. You- urgh.” He looked frustrated, and adjusted his glasses. “If I never learned the word-”

“¿Ah?” Roman tilted his head for emphasis.

“You do…much. For me. And thank you.” Oh, he was improving so much! He could have wiped a tear from his eye, he was so proud.

“¡Of course! It was no problem to help my good friend in need, in fact, when I was creating all of this, I was especially-”

~~~~~

Logan was listening to Roman give an acceptance speech over his (admittedly stilted) compliment. He was, of course, improving, but he wasn't really absorbing much of what he was saying.

Well, at that speed, the words sort of blurred together. He sighed. Usually Roman was better at speaking slower and more clearly for his benefit, but…

Luckily, their facsimile of a waiter came over and interrupted Roman's soliloquy and, he thought, asked them if they were ready to order. Logan opened the menu, which was full of pictures, no words, presumably so as not to allow him to simply read right from the menu. Roman ordered while Logan looked it over, trying to decide on food, trying very hard not to simply choose based on vocabulary he was familiar with. There was silence, and when he looked up, Roman and the waiter were politely waiting for him.

Well, the waiter was, but Roman was smiling with a little bit of a challenge in his expression. Okay.

“Hello. I want the chicken and al…also. I can I-have, no wait. I can have the- oh god. Caaarr…ots?” Logan exhaled, confident he'd done decently.

“Boring food~” Roman teased him. Logan ignored him.

“¿And to drink?”

“Una agua, por favor.”³

“Un,” Roman lightly corrected him.

“Un agua, por favor.”

“Thank you, sir.” The waiter thanked them back, and possibly told them their food would be out…soon?

He looked around some more, waving and acknowledging the others that were also there for the “field trip.” He turned around and was startled by the waiter having reappeared by their table.

Roman's abilities were truly impressive when he went all out.

“Muchas gracias.”⁴ He took his plate from his hand.

“De nada, señor.”⁵ And he walked away again, leaving them to their food.

“¡Very good, Logan! You're doing very well.” He beamed at him and Logan smiled in return.

“Thank you. I- You.” Logan attempted to recall the proper words before he gave up and went to go get his notes.

"No, no notes, you have to be prepared to speak without your little notebook if you're ever speaking to someone." Logan hesitated.

“What?”

“Ah-ah, en españ-”

“If I don't know the words, how am I supposed to say it in Spanish?!” He huffed angrily.

Roman just smiled and took a bite of his- Logan glanced down- hamburger. He also had fries. “Just for that,” and he quickly swiped one of the fries on Roman's plate.

“Hey!”

“Yo como papá,” Roman snorted, Logan thought about it. “Ah, yo como el Papa,” he smirked and definitively took a bite. Roman's hamburger fell from his hands. The place went silent, except for the others that were here with them. All the constructs had stopped mid-murmured conversation and had turned to look at Logan. According to what Roman had told him in the past, that wasn't usually possible. He began to doubt that he had said the sentence correctly.

“I think you used the wrong ‘papa’, Logan,” Virgil dryly put in.

“WOOHOO! Yeah!” Remus shouted in glee, “eat the papacy!” Logan looked back at Roman, laughing silently, and resolved to review certain potato sounding words.

Spanish translations and explanations in order

¹Hello, (pronouncing the silent h), I am your prostitute and my name (double L is generally a y sound, he does several Ls) is spicy (actually pronounced pee-cahn-tay) chipotle (please pronounce this correctly, guys.)

²Ah-ah, in Spanish please!

³Logan: A (feminine) water please.

Roman: A (masculine).

(Despite water being a feminine ending, it uses the masculine the/a.)

⁴Thank you very much.

⁵You're welcome, sir.

⁶"I eat the dad."..."Ah, I eat the Pope."

Una papa is a potato.

Papá is dad.

El Papa is the pope.

I had this vague concept of a joke in my head for decades. I think this is a pretty good way to utilize it!

"Get that guy a multivitamin" inspired me. A single pill. This will fix him.

im so excited for virgil to start being honest with the mindscape crew bc. itll be so augh for him to start realizing that Oh, maybe it ISNT normal as logan roman and patton are beside themselves at everything virgil says

bc like. there are SO MANY messed up factors. like, he has malnutrition, and is atleast in some way intentionally starving himself to avoid being a burden. hes also like, 18/19 if i remember right and??? thats baby age. sures hes technically an adult but like, still very young?? and not even mention the way that they probably misread a BUNCH of his fear/distress body language as aggression or just strange.

yeah, post-LMMR is really just "virgil getting outed to the mindscape crew as guy who lies through avoidance NOT CLICKBAIT" for realsies. they are all ganging up on him to hold a self care intervention

get that guy a multivitamin and some therapy STAT

Visibly, publicly stand against Jew hatred, Jew bigotry. Stand against Hamas. Also, learn the real meanings of words.

any anti-zionism that is not committed to fighting antisemitism and making the diaspora safe for jews to live in is not just counterproductive: it is worse than useless.

[bilgisticallykosher]

A LOT of good information on this post.

Stop the virtue signalling & start thinking :X

[bilgisticallykosher]

More information on Hamas. Horrified about the doctor. Hamas is no doubt forcing some doctors and hospitals, and threatening them, but I can't help but think of doctors during the Holocaust who actively helped torture people.

Update post:

First, on a personal note, I started my day by calling my family that lives outside of Jerusalem to tell them I'm alive. Two terrorists, residents of an Arab neighborhood of Jerusalem (i.e, not Palestinians, who would have to go through a checkpoint, giving soldiers the opportunity to stop them), started shooting people standing at the bus station at the entrance to the city, using a gun and an assault rifle. Three people were killed, one of them a young woman, 24 years old, one is a 73 years old rabbi, and the last is a 67 years old woman. At least 9 more people were injured, 3 of them are still in serious condition. The two terrorists were neutralized at the scene thanks to three people who fired back, one of them was a soldier who was on a 12 hour leave from Gaza, he was at the bus station on his way back to his unit. The terrorists were brothers, affiliated with Hamas, and both had been jailed for terrorist activity in the past. Some of the convicted terrorists who had been released in the past few days, to free innocent Israeli civilians, are residents of the same Jerusalem neighborhood.

Then there was a second terrorist attack today in the Jordan Valley, in this case the terrorist tried driving his vehicle into a crowd, he was neutralized, a few people are injured lightly.

This is Kfir Bibas.

He's the baby who was 9 months old when he was kidnapped together with his 4 years old brother Ariel, his mom Shiri and his dad Yarden. Hamas first said that the Bibas family was handed over by them to another terrorist organization to hold them. Yesterday, Hamas said the Bibas family had been killed by Israeli fire in Gaza. Hamas had previously said that 19 years old Noa Marziano was killed by Israeli fire, it later turned out that she was murdered by a Hamas terrorist in the basement of the Shifa hospital in Gaza. Hamas also said Chana Katzir was killed by Israeli fire. She was released alive. We're all hoping that Hamas is lying about the Bibas family, and that we will see little Kfir and Ariel again, that this is just another part of Hamas' psychological warfare (i.e, psychological torture).

This is 17 years old Aisha al-Ziadna.

You can tell from her hijab, that there is no way Hamas didn't know they were kidnapping a Muslim teenager when they took her, her dad, and her two brothers captive. We know that on the list of hostages to be released today, there are 2 kids. It was just confirmed that it's Aisha and her 18 years old brother Bilal. I'm so glad for Aisha and her family! I'll also admit that as a woman, I've been more worried this whole time for all the girls and women held captive by rapists. I've heard an Israeli Bedouin saying he believed Hamas was keeping her to be released among the last of the hostage kids, to drive a greater wedge between Israel and its Bedouin population. If Aisha and Bilal will finally be freed today, that would mean 38 of the 40 kidnapped kids and teenagers have been released, and the only two remaining in Gaza are Kfir and Ariel Bibas.

We've been hearing more and more about the conditions of captivity the hostages were held under. I'll emphasize that they were kept separately, so what's true for one, is not necesarily true for all, but the overall picture is grim.

Most hostages were kept underground, without fresh air and sunlight. They slept on benches or on plastic chairs. They were not given the medications they need, or they were given unsufficient doses of them. At least one hostage was released in critical state because of this, 84 years old Elma Avraham. One of the doctors fighting to save her life said that had she been released even just one day later, it would have been impossible to save her. She could have been released on the first day of the deal. She was released on the third. For the most part, hostages were not allowed to shower, they were only given new clothes once, on the day of release, and they had no privacy when using the toilettes (again, think about what this meant for girls and women), when asking to use the toilettes, they were sometimes forced to wait for hours for that. At least one kid (12 years old Eitan Yahalomi) told his family he was forced to watch the horror movies Hamas filmed on Oct 7 under gun threat. I'm terrified for what this must have done to him psychologically. All of the kids are having trouble speaking normally, they were threatened with violence if they do anything more than whisper. The Thai captives who were released said they were abused as well, but that the Jewish hostages they were held with, were treated worse (one Thai man mentioned Hamas beat the Jewish captives with electric cables). All of the hostages were malnourished, some of the adult hostages lost up to 15 kilograms (roughly 33 pounds) over 7 weeks, which doctors said amounts to being starved.

(this is Elma Avraham when checked by the Red Cross during her release. I can't not mention that the Red Cross was supposed to give Israel a heads up if any hostage was in a life threatening condition, which Elma was, but the Red Cross didn't say anything, so it was only after a second check by Israel that Elma's critical condition was diagnosed, and she was rushed to the hospital by helicopter)

(speaking of the Thai nationals who were released by Hamas, they were also taken to an Israeli hospital to be treated there until they can go home. Something that really moved me is that the hospital bought a Buddha statue so that these people could pray, even before they're well enough to be discharged)

One Israeli hostage, Roni Crivoi, managed to take advantage of Israeli fire in Gaza, escape his Hamas captors, and he tried to make his way back. Unfortunately for him, he was captured by Gazan civilians, and handed over back to Hamas. Gazan civilians are also some of the people holding Israeli hostages. One kid hostage recounted that he was locked in the attic of an UNRWA teacher (just a reminder, this is a UN employee), who barely give him food, and didn't provide him with his medication. Another was held captive by a Gazan doctor, a man who provided medical care for Palestinian kids, but betrayed his hypocratic oath when it came to an Israeli kid. And it's been Gaza civilians showing up every night, screaming, banging on the jeeps in which the Israeli hostages were being driven to their release, or even throwing rocks at those vehicles. In fact, as hostages were not told they were being freed, many of them said the violence of the crowds made them think they were being taken to be lynched.

Hamas has been violating the hostage deal repeatedly. There's the rockets fired into Israel 15 minutes after the fighting was supposed to stop, there's the promised Red Cross visits to the hostages not freed, which have not yet happened, there's the separation of kids from their mothers (such as Hilla Rotem... Hamas claimed they couldn't release her mother with Hilla, because they didn't know where the mom is. Hilla indicated this was a lie, as she was held together with her mom up until a day before her release. Or another example is Maya Regev, who was freed without er brother Itay, even though he was 18 years old and they were supposed to be released together), there's the Hamas terrorists who fired and threw explosives at IDF soldiers while the fighting is supposed to be on break (starting on day 5 of the deal, we're now on day 7), there was an attempt to offer kidnapped bodies (Israel was able to confirm that three hostages, were actually killed on Oct 7, and Hamas is holding their bodies captive) instead of living people to be released today (which Hamas tried to claim they had to do since they had no more women and kids to release today... when Israel insisted that wasn't true, and if Hamas doesn't rectify the list, the fighting will resume this morning at 7, suddenly Hamas was able to add 3 more women to the list of released hostages for today)...

On a personal note, one of my two kidnapped colleagues was released yesterday, Liat Atzili, and she's been reunited with her kids, but her husband is still in captivity. We've heard through the released hostages that my other colleague is still alive. That's a bit of a relief, since we didn't even know if there was hope for that, given the fact that he had undergone a surgery not that long ago, and is till need of medical care. This is Liat:

This was a perfect reaction to an American projecting American social concepts onto Israel, where the whole history of the conflict is completely different:
