14, 18, 21 whoever u so desire !

I'm gonna choose Elijah King! Because they're so funnysilly. Just as a brief overview, Eli's a TF2 oc who's genderfluid and uses he/her/they pronouns.

14. Does your character remember names or faces easier?

Definitely faces! Considering he ends up losing a majority of his memories at the age of ~21, the only things he recognizes from his past are faces and certain object, and even that isn't reliable half the time. But, this hunch is what ends up leading him to dig into his past with the help of Spy. So she finds out that her and Medic's pasts are linked and they kinda go from there!

18. Is your character more likely to admire wisdom, or ambition in others?

Definitely ambition. Wisdom is needed sometimes, they know that, but what good is wisdom without action? They especially admire Scout, since he's constantly trying to improve himself, both in his work and otherwise (thought he's usually not very good at it. lol). He'd much rather be constantly learning and experiencing new things than know all of the secrets of the world automatically.

21. If something tragic or negative happens to your character, do they believe they may have caused or deserved it, or are they quick to blame others?

I would say it really depends! If it only affects Eli, he ends up blaming himself and shutting down. If it affects the people he cares about, he goes Right into "hunt down the bastard that hurt my family" mode. Which, y'know, isn't always helpful, but he's got the spirit. This is especially true with his major amnesia. At the time, he had a lot of issues with substance abuse, so he just assumed that it had something to do with it (he's wrong, but not like he could've known that).

Eli's past is kinda sad, to say the least. He was given up for science at a very young age, where a government-funded project attempted to essentially make supersoldiers from children (this didn't exactly work out). There were other children that were mutated drastically, but Eli kept a vast majority of his perceived humanity (the only things that really end up being uncanny about him is that his eyes are an unnatural color, usually bright green but this is up to change, and the fact that he can mimic voices to the t.) with an added plus, being able to be taught subjects and trades incredibly quickly. Then, he escaped the facility he was held at and quickly adapted into society. However, there were contingency plans for this, specifically neural implants that would release neurotoxin at a button press; but, in exchange for surviving this, the event caused major retrograde amnesia.

Here's to a more robust Democratic Party

Before I say anything else, I want to sincerely congratulate Anderson Clayton, Jonah Garson, Kim Hardy, and Elijah King for their victories this weekend as they took over the leadership of the North Carolina Democratic Party. I believe the party needs an infusion of new blood and that we need the enthusiasm and energy of young people to engage our base. As a native of Anson County, I want to see…

Willkommen.

History was made on this day, twenty years ago. The last installment in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Return of the King, was released in cinemas. It grossed over $1.1 billion worldwide, making it the second highest-grossing film of all time. It won all eleven Oscars for which it was nominated, including Best Picture (the first fantasy to do so), at the 76th Academy Awards. The sequel to 2002's The Two Towers, and the completion of the story started by The Fellowship of the Ring, it was a cinematic landmark and a pop culture behemoth. Like its two predecessors, the film was widely acclaimed by critics and loved by audiences across the globe. But they were, all of them, deceived—for another film was made.

In 2004, Dominic Monaghan, the actor alias used by renowned German film critic Hans Jensen, interviewed the trilogy's star, Elijah Wood. In these nine bracing minutes of footage, Mr. Jensen probed his interviewee on the matters of the day: losing time within yourself, kicking balls, dolphins, and the wearing of wigs. It makes for quite remarkable viewing almost two decades later.

I want you to know Malcom X hated Israel along with most people during the civil rights movement

"Most people during the civil rights movement" except for Martin Luther King and his family, Bayard Rustin, A. Phillip Randolph, Rosa Parks, John Lewis, Elijah Cummings, and hundreds of others, you mean?

Basically all activists involved in the civil rights movement respected Jews and Israel. You are of course permitted to ignore them in favor of faketivists who raise awareness on OF.

As for Malcolm X, there's a lot about him if you check the comments / reblogs; basically, he was extremely antisemitic for most of his life because that was the doctrine that the Nation Of Islam cult preaches. After going to Mecca and getting a taste of non-culty Islam, he changed his mind about Jews and apologized, then NOI killed him.

sam and frodo’s relationship is so crazy theyre like what if we had a homoerotic adventurer’s bond that was so strong it overcame the power of supreme evil, saving not just the world but one another, and the only reason we were able to survive the violence around us was through sheer love for each other, and although we’re not canonically lovers our relationship is so much more intimate and tender than acceptable norms for male/male relationships that we transcend easily definable labels and thus become queer irregardless of whether our attraction is platonic, romantic, or sexual…and we were both hobbits
