#Hate has no place on this blog

[drifting-pieces-blog-blog]

I thought you were a fun MK blog but you keep liking Zionist posts and now I’m wondering if you’re stupid or if you just like your victim complex too much

So as a rule, this is strictly a Moon Knight blog. I refrain from rebloging most non-Moon Knight things here. But this is still my main blog so when I go around enjoying things, it's with this blog.

Now, I hate to break it to you, but Moon Knight is Jewish. Always has been, always will be.

As for being a 'fun' blog, you do realize that my posts have specialized in PTSD, Mental illness, grief, depression, abuse, and abelism that is depicted in the show and comics, right?

But that's fun as long as I don't talk about Judaism?

I'm sorry you felt stalkerish enough to browse the things that I enjoy outside of the fandom and found that I gave a like to a post that depicted Jewish art, poetry, or tradition. Or did you find it offensive that I liked posts that talked about peace, Charity organizations, or history?

Or are you offended by the numerous Jewish blogs that I follow? Perhaps the one dedicated to Jewish finding joy in how they go about daily activities or how they pray and worship? Or was it the blog that shows Jewish depictions in comics?

But getting back to Moon Knight, would you be surprised to find that Jewish people enjoy Moon Knight too? I'm not going to name names, but I can list at least three Moon Knight blogs that are run by Jewish people. (Gasp, one of them even lives in Israel!) But I bet you didn't know that.

So what part of me enjoying Jewish life makes me "Stupid"? What makes you think I enjoy the victim complex too much?

Is it me being Transgender? No? You're okay with that?

What about me being Ace? Okay with that too?

How about me having Hispanic heritage? Still okay with that?

Or if I tell you that I'm Jewish, is that what sets your blood boiling?

How about you come off of Anon and come out and admit to being Antisemitic. Clear the air and stop hiding.

I honestly hope that you are a new follower and not someone that's been around since the start. You can take your antisemitism and fuck right off. I'm not here to do a song and dance for you.

I'm here to talk about Moon Knight. If you find it upsetting that I am also going to enjoy a nice picture of a Synagogue or give a thumbs up to a historical post or a lovely bit of Torah then fuck off.

I'm not even here waving my political beliefs or even my personal stance on anything. And honestly, you don't know my stance on anything.

You're the one knocking on doors and screaming when you find out someone's Jewish.

Anyways, this is a Moon Knight Blog.

Moon Knight is Jewish.

Hope you have a nice night.

There's something so peculiar in this phenomenon where the people writing Ra's al Ghul's children decide to justify their characters by ruining Ra's' character and everything he meant. He has gone from a man trying to save mother nature to a pure, awful abuser. From a man who loved his wife so much he can't even think of remarrying to a man who killed his wife. He has been made a mockery of what he was, a racist caricature.

And no one cares, of course. They want their favs justified, so go ahead! Destroy Ra's! Who cares about the old man? Let him rot.

This is so... Hilarious. It's depressingly ironic. The fandom who adores Ra's' children and the lore that was his and his alone will celebrate the ruin of his character. And then there's this small, almost tiny fandom: Ra'sTim fandom.

And only in Ra'sTim fandom will you find Ra's being treated as an individual. Only there people care enough about Ra's as to acknowledge his forgotten stories. Only with Tim, Ra's gets an spotlight for him. A man who loves. A man who cares. A man who is trying to save the world.

You won't find "gen" fics where Ra's has some depth to his character. He is nothing but a piece to prop up others and ships, humiliated and turned into something he isn't. But with Tim? The most exquisite parts of Ra's blossom: Once again a man with freedom, with choices, who has his own emotions and ideas.

It's quite poetic, perhaps. In a way Tim truly manages to save Ra's, even if it's only here, in a tiny side of the internet's words, where few people remember who Ra's used to be, and love him for that, and dedicate their love with stories where he gets to be himself.

DC might never show respect for Ra's again, and yet, in this corner of the vast web, there's people who remember. People who give life to the old, lovely Ra's that used to fight for mother nature and who loved so strong it ruined him.

What a strange yet wonderful event.

will all artists have to go back to sharing stuff through mailing lists now? since that seems the last bastion of CANNOT SCRAPE THAT ONE

[pigeonxp]

ppl keep saying tallulah is "choosing" phil over wilbur bro can you shut the fuck up seriously like yes shes upset w him bc hes not there but like thats not his fault 💀 and she literally said that hes famous too like she knows why he isnt there 💀 she has every right to be upset w him but spreading the narrative that shes choosing phil over him is so stupid and unfair to all 3 of their characters. its honestly ridiculous bc we all know he would be there if he could, and canonically he was upset when he found out she was gone. its not like he doesnt care abt her ???? like thats so fucking stupid. also the idea that hes a deadbeat is stupid too bc its canon that lovejoy is FUNDING THE FEDERATION and therefore the island like what ????????? ur ridiculous.

While I intend this blog to remain a largely news-free space due to the constant hellstate of the world, let me be clear that I stand in full support of both the Palestinian and Jewish peoples who are currently experiencing relentless hate and suffering in these horrid times.

I am disgusted at the number of people, especially "progressives" on this website who have used this situation to spread both Islamophobia and Antisemitism. This goes double if you dared to reblog those "punch nazis/fascists <3" and "[x] are welcome here!" posts while in the next breath spreading dangerous fucking narratives that kill people.

So many people in online political spaces evidently see this as nothing more than a case of picking "sides", when ultimately what matters is supporting the oppressed against fascist governments and militias, wherever they are.

Common people will always have more alike with each other than their leaders. This is not a novel concept. Your activism should always be motivated by love and compassion first, and hatred second. If you use your beliefs as an excuse to find an acceptable target to vent your hatred towards regardless of the actual material outcome, you are no fucking activist.

You're a bigot.

you are complaining about complaining too much while complaining about the fact that maybe people dont like you because you complain too much while complaining about being alone. just stop complaining and do something about it. talk to people. reach out. dont just wait for someone to come to you first.

i have tried reaching out to different people in the past year or so but it never works. i understand its my own fault for letting relationships decay because of my own insecurities and issues but that doesn't mean i can just will myself to think or believe different things about myself. it's a self fulfilling prophecy ; i think people don't like me so i don't reach out so people don't like me etc . i am sure you do not want to hear me list all the things i want to say in response so i will put them in the tags.

like it's just the way that outside of the BATB/POTO 'love what's ugly and ostracized' narrative itself cocteau was gay and everybody hated his gall about it, howard ashman was gay and had to conceal it and died of aids after finishing his work for disney's batb.... rather than have dark be homophobic and spitting in the face of his inspirational roots (the sole canon detail i can't stand) it's much much much more interesting for me to both read and write not someone who's meant to be a pervert (in humor) and an agape lover (in serious contextualization) only to turn and say 'no homo' to the crowd every single time but rather, instead of all that, someone who, simultaneously taking daisuke into account, is both extremely firm yet simultaneously insecure in the struggle to establish their identity not only in regards to themselves but also around others.

that applies to a lot, but i've been considering it especially in regards to dark's gender and daisuke's attractions. dark in my portrayal (while overall 500% nonbinary) is closer to someone bi-gender rather than agender; the feminine aspect to him isn't just theatrics, it's actively also part of his entirety to him, (compared to daisuke's passivity; the ten thousand canonical princess allusions,) and even if nobody ever recognizes it in a cognizant way, it is always, always there, the same way that erik blurs and obscures gender in leroux's novel (my second enormous inspiration, sugisaki's outright admitted primary) and sakurai occasionally discusses his relationship as both a performer and a person as well (my third enormous inspiration and sugisaki's secondary,) (see 1, 2.) simply put, the tragedy of (my!) dark does not ever derive from his being able to choose and sit comfortably and confidently with this sort of identity (in fact, it's one of the few things he can stubbornly, viciously decide for himself [alongside daisuke] as essentially a non-human, autonomous 'angel',) it's instead the way that his personality is so strong and 'anti-feminine' in the eyes of convention that said aspect of himself often gets disregarded for strictly masculine (and regardless, further self-contradictory and therefore isolating,) expectations.

dark himself alone does not care if others do not understand him; this is meant to be one of his far more admirable and impressive traits. he's staunchly independent: he knows who he is, what he's supposed to be, and he knows that if he actively presented himself more femininely (crossdressing to 'pass' essentially,) then people's behaviors WOULD be very likely to change around him, but he doesn't even do that because it goes against his overwhelming sense of pride. he never contorts, he never twists himself, what matters to him is that he and he alone understands himself and knows what he is, what he isn't. but he is, without proper support or acceptance, still alone. even bearing a strong character, the stifling loneliness and inherent, underlying self-sense of broken/wrongness of the 'other,' (god's luciferean problem child, the black sheep, the black-leather wearing punk,) is still inflicted on him. dark exists solely for himself, he exists solely for daisuke, which is simultaneously wherein the inversion and insecurities lie: if dark is canonically the live metaphor for all the aspects of daisuke's self that he attempts to and yet cannot possibly, conceivably repress, from his loves to his faults to his shames and his criminal sins as a thief, then the likes of daisuke's own personal confusions in regards to himself and his attempts at intimacy/socialization with others is the other, hidden side of dark's absolute self-confidence; it's every fear of perpetual isolation, misunderstanding, and abandonment for things outside of daisuke's own control.

queerness in relation to the self (transgender allegory) queerness in relation to others (non-hetero-romanticism) mental illness (depression, anxiety,) etc, etc, dark's thematic basis may at its most general simply be "a secret that feels wrong and that you feel you can't really tell anyone or else you'll get in trouble/won't be as liked as much" but it feels much better to give due respect to each of these primary roots.

AN OPEN LETTER TO TODD HOWARD

Hi, Todd.

I know it must be very hard feeling like the most impotent man on earth, to look at the IPs you own and realize that the two biggest critical successes who have withstood the test of time were the two that succeeded in spite of you instead of because of you. Nobody understands you and your incredibly bland and tenuous grasp on worldbuilding and good storytelling. Don't people realize that the only thing cooler than generic European landscape is a colder generic European landscape? And why does nobody understand the intricacies of your post-apocalyptic dream of "gray landscape with an ending so bad that you had to retcon it" or "brown landscape with a story so bad that you refuse to address it out of fear."

I know. I know it's difficult. Your self esteem must be as small as your penis right now. Poor baby.

However, if you could stop fucking nuking things that make you feel like a wittle baby, I would appreciate it. It was already cheap when you shrugged and decided that destroying Vvardenfell was canon, but to go and nuke Shady Sands as well and follow it up with, "Vegas is also over. My big boy mean marines are in charge now :)" just reeks of you being a toddler (TODDler, do you get it?) who picks up your toys and goes home when the other kids decide they want to play a different game than you. Or worse, somebody complimented the other kid on their toy, so you broke it and then took home the pieces.

This doesn't even seem like you taking a chance at risky storytelling. It reeks of you being a jealous little pissant. It doesn't seem like a coincidence that you've done this specifically to the game you were tricked into taking risks with (and is therefore regarded as a better game than your D&D ripoff afterward) and the game you had minimal to no involvement in (that was well regarded because it was written by people who had an innate understanding of and respect for the source material). It seems like a little man had his ego bruised and is trying to overwrite everything so we only get to acknowledge the shit that he thinks is cool.

Read the room, asshole.

Pelipper mail!

Its a black and red calling card, the front featuring a red logo of a top hat with a mask, white flame spreading outside the right eyehole. Under the logo are the words "Take your heart."

The back features text cut out from various newspapers.

"O Psychic Prick,

Fuck you. You're a spoiled little bitch who threatens people over extremely stupid things. I'm coming for your heart and possibly your kneecaps. Maybe some other things, too. I haven't decided. From, Joker."

"...Tch, what a waste of my precious time."

[i-find-reliable-sources]

not really sure why you have so much shit to talk about new york post but not about the new york times as if they aren't just as bad as each other

Regardless of any subjective feelings towards the NYP or NYT, the Post is a tabloid, which automatically sets it lower on a reliability scale than a newspaper. That doesn't mean that NYT doesn't have issues, it doesn't mean that I don't have issues with the NYT— because I absolutely do— but to group them together as if they are at the same level/on the same playing field is willfully obtuse.

The BBC has a pretty good breakdown of the differences between tabloids and traditional newspapers and why those differences matter.
