with the news of sleep token signing with rca (its huge, super proud of the guys- really hoping rca doesn’t fuck them over)

i just want to say: free palestine. rca supports israel which is hella unfortunate. but i also want to say don’t conflate the label’s morals with the band. there are plenty of bands signed by rca that support palestine- bring me the horizon is a very notable example!

i also doubt we’ll get any statement from the band so do with that what you will. they haven’t spoken on anything like this before, i doubt they’ll start now.

so in closing, i leave you with this. click the button once a day to donate to palestine 🇵🇸

people doing this whole "look at how rhaenys acted with corlys's bastard son vs how catelyn acted with jon snow" to demonize one or the other is weird because, like, maybe it's just me, but i think that catelyn and rhaenys had different reactions because they're different people in different situations.

Idk after how scary the pandemic must have been from a professional standpoint of not knowing what the future of performing and touring would look like, it has to be so gratifying to Taylor and her band to not only be playing sold out shows at every stop but to see the hundreds if not thousands of fans coming together outside the stadiums just to listen to the show festival-style.

Like, yes, there is still a community out there who loves this and wants to join in this and will create new traditions. Knowing how much the whole crew cares, it must be incredibly special and awe-inspiring to feel that, considering everything that’s happened in the last four years.

Yeah so as expected, it seems like first quantum minerals will be taking the panamanian government to an international court now (arbitration will apparently take place in florida).

I guess there's nothing panama can do at this point but just present our case and hope they don't win, but honestly it's making me angry. I can't even tell you guys how shady this company is.... They did so much illegal shit and covered it up, but bc they have so much money and power/influence nearly every news outlet in other countries is like "well the company denied those allegations" and leaves it at that.

I also want to add that they did something really similar in the congo, where the DRC government revoked a contract and forced FQM out bc they had breached it's terms SO many times. They also left the congo completely in ruins with massive amounts of pollution and damage to the land (which is exactly what they want to do to us here, and would have if we hadn't fought against it and managed to win), and contributed massively to the situation going on in the congo right now too. Not to mention how much damage they were ALREADY doing here in panama, like the locals have been getting sick for years and the water supply is already poisoned in the region where their mine is.

And it still seems like barely anybody in canada has a clue this is all going on??? It sucks knowing I don't have a big enough platform to bring more international awareness to all this myself, but I also am not good at writing and putting things into words lmao.

But anyway... now that they can't tell photographers to go away, we have more pictures of the mine itself (as it is right now) and it really is enormous already. Like knowing how much more it was going to expand is insane, and right in the middle of a rainforest literally full of endangered animals. It's still such a relief to know this was stopped for good even though its pissing me off how they won't even leave without trying to suck as much money as possible out this country and hurt us as much as possible in the process.

(Here's some of those pictures before I end up ranting more though lmao)

lorddd i had a fever on my birthday so here are some lil jtta and ddvd thoughts!!

ik can have the smallest of a fever and lucifer will not let that child go to school at ALL. he WILL infact do paper work in IK's room just to watch over her. (Zhao in the meanwhile is cooking for her ofc). But in jtta I'm sure it'll be similar but i had the little silly thought of solomon coming over and being like

"i leave a human being with u...and shes sick.." aka solomon vs lucifer custody battle (/j)

i'm sorry to hear that first part!! hope you're feeling better ^^

lucifer is telling mammon off for being too loud AND researching human-world medicine AND trying to make soup AND constantly adding/taking away blankets to regulate ik's temperature, all while solomon sits by the bed and just takes the absolute mick out of him

the lighter ik's illness is, the more he hams it up - "i can't believe you've betrayed me, no humanity, like this...... you of all demons, lucifer....", and lucifer (who is getting Stressed) is one more quip away from just yelling "SHUT THE FUCK UP" at him

meanwhile in the ddvd au, lucifer still starts out being Very serious and business-like about it, but the longer little ik spends sick, the more his ruthless efficiency just COMPLETELY deteriorates

zhao: i think you should have a lie down dear

lucifer, who has been awake for seventy hours straight and has begun haunting himself with the idea that the fever may never go down:

Why do you dislike your in laws and why are you forced to hang out with them every week?

My wife’s parents are conservative, science-hating people with a history of treating her like shit. Lots of stories that aren’t mine to tell, but suffice to say, they were unpleasant as hell when she started dating me. When we got engaged, her mother responded with a long email basically begging her not to do it, she shouldn’t go making the decision to marry emotionally, etc etc. The main reason they “like” me now (I truly don’t know that I’ll ever buy that) is because they rank divorce as more embarrassing than being gay, so they’re stuck with me. (They have never since mentioned all the homophobic shit they did between the dating announcement and the wedding. I doubt they ever will.)

We wind up seeing them a ton anyway for two reasons. One: my sister-in-law is very sweet and very prone to mediation, so she wants everyone happy and often suggests/agrees to events. I actually love her and her husband, so that smooths out some of the shittier factors. Two: my wife’s grandmother has an extreme case of dementia. A lot of these events are sort of a “while she’s with us” deal.

So, Canada has decided to stop sending arms to Israel after an NDP motion. The Liberals made major amendments to it so as to firmly condemn Hamas as well. It's kind of a mixed bag. Honestly, it's naive of me but I didn't expect there would still be so much outrage, even if the motion did call for an acknowledgement of Palestine as a state. All the Conservatives voted against it - to be fair, some of them wanted to wait for the motion to be passed because the amendments were super last minute and the Bloc Quebecois were annoyed that because of this there wasn't a French translation.

I guess it's a step in the right direction. I think it's still weak but you can read more on it here.

"Well. It's good to see you back to your normal self, at least. I think who you were the past week was a little too amicable for an old man like me to have a polite conversation with without getting on my nerves a little."

"I wasn't... worried or anything, far from it, but- If you'd have stayed like that a day or two longer I would have asked Marcille to look into it. She probably knows more about healing those kinds of injuries than I ever will."

"...In any case, you know where to go if you end up feeling a bit parched."

-- @halffootguildofficial

Amicable? Oh — what humor you have. we both know the truth. I was horrible in that state.

There is no need to hide your worry, really. After all — it is a pityful situation to be in the presence of my past self. So i don't blame you if you wished for me to come back, despite me now not being any better.

You of all people should know that calling the court mage is completely unnecessary. You should've known immediately that a dungeon trap is the cause of my predicament, being well versed in traps and all. Right?

It's 15C and almost sunny, the radar is teeming with GA, jets are flying past, I feel like I have a whole village taking care of me, beautiful art keeps coming my way, I feel better but not perfect. I'm cleaning my helmet and plotting my course babey. When I'm done with these antibiotics?? Riding, flying, gardening, theatre, concerts, and general running around like an idiot.

It's coming. I can FEEL it. :D :D

I'm in love with Aamira ❤️❤️🙏 can you give us more info about her? Some fun and maybe not so fun facts about her?

Hi Anon ! Thank you for your kind words and for your interest \o/ Aamira's side of the family is the one that Qalaa got her "Beast Curse" from. It's a bloodline hereditary curse that boosts the strength of those in good health (like Qalaari) and eats away at those that have a weak constitution... like Aamira. "Weak" members of the family are usually cast aside or cast out. Aamira ; while still quite young, 16 or so ; ran away from all of this to try to live her life following only her will and enjoy as much of it as possible. Even without the curse Aamira would have had a weak health, but think of it as her Beast basically making her immunodeficient and weaker and weaker as the years go by.

She managed to make a little life for herself in a small unremarkable place close to one of the older forest of the region. There she developed close ties with two siblings, Temhos & Olgha. Both of them members of a tribe that lives deep deep withing the old woods who come to visit the village semi frequently to trade goods and buy things to carry back where they live. Both siblings tried to court Aamira (after months of good relationship), and, eventually, Aamira chose Temhos. For two or three years things were pretty idyllic fro all of them. But then Aamira started talking about wanting a child... Temhos tried to reason with her that with her health it was really fucking dangerous for her to try and that her chances of not making it through were too high for his tastes... Aamira pretended to listen but actually didn't and things got really bad when Temhos found out she was pregnant. They argued, Aamira's health took a downside, Temhos took care of her until she got better again (and Aamira, with her rose-tinted delusional glasses, thought it meant he'd stay). When Aamira was around 7 month pregnant Temhos ran away (very very far away). It broke her heart but not her (by now frantic) determination to see her pregnancy though. She (somehow) found her away again to Temhos' village where she was taken in by Olgha (who was very confused, then very angry (at both Aamira & Temhos), then very panicked). Qalaari was born in this village. Olgha became her surrogate parent to help Aamira raise her (she was still in love with Aamira, but knew that her heart, broken as it was, would still never be hers... I think Aamira knew Olgha's feelings too and could only just be very thankful she still helped her raise Qalaari, despite how painful it must have been for her.) Aamira was very loving with her daughter, but her (now very bad) health and broken heart left her with long dissociative episodes, on top of moments where she wouldn't even managed to get out of bed. That's when Olgha would take care of Qalaari most (frustrated and heartbroken as she was over the whole situation, Olgha genuinely loves Qalaari like her own daughter.) 12 years after, the Beast finally eroded all of what Aamira was (she was still young... probably around 32 or 34 years old ??) and she passed away. Also, how Aamira survived giving birth is nothing short of a miracle. Most likely due to her will of titanium to meet and raise her daughter... Eventually the Beast got the best of her, but she managed to hold on for 12 more years !!

This fic is really satisfying the problematic urge I've had for a long time, to write Hook as this reformed fuckboy, who still occasionally struggles with those tendencies from time to time.

And in this instance...the fuckboy tendencies won out 😈
