#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.

// Vent:

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.

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.

[wormchaser]

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.

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.

Psaro knew his mom was special, the same way all of his father's wives were special.

Dolphs mother was a famous Gladiatrix in Nadiria who had never been defeated by anyone other than their father, after which she agreed to marry him and became his first wife.

Ludos mother a powerful elf priestess older than all of monsterkind and perhaps would be just as powerful if she was released from her fate as someone else's prison and allowed to recover he strength.

Psaros mom was a princess from the human world, but that wouldn't be enough to catch his father's interest. There had to be something else, and his mother refused to talk about it, so he did what any six year old monster prince would do and just asked the various castle staff for answers.

He was in luck as some of his mothers servants knew the truth. His mother came from a long line of legendary human heroes! The oldest known one was also the most famous, some guy called Erdrick.

Psaro quickly came to love hearing stories of his human ancestors defeating evil and saving the day. Even better, it was the one time his mother actually grew to enjoy spending time with him.

His mother was strange. She often didn't hold or play with him like Fathers other wives did with their children. Her gaze would often drift to his eyes, and she would have this funny look on her face, like a cross between sadness and...fear? But why would she be afraid of him? Or his eyes? He was often told he had his Father's eyes (and ears too!) so she couldn't dislike them, right? After all, a baby is born when a mommy and daddy love each other very much, and if she loves his father, then she should love the parts of him she sees in their son.

It wouldn't be until he was much older that he would understand the full scope of his mother's suffering, but for now, he was too innocent.

---

His mother was dying.

Slowly.

Cruelly.

This couldn't be right. His mother had kidnapped him from the castle, taking him away from everyone and everything he ever knew and wouldn't even tell him why.

And now she was abandoning him. She was going to die and leave him behind. He couldn't allow that, so he did what he could with what he had.

Monsters lived very long lives, with Psaro and his family on his father's side aging slowly until they were destined to stop aging all together once they reached a certain maturity. Naturally, to keep Miriam alive this long, his father had teathered her life force to his own, keeping her young and healthy forever.

Until he cut her off that is.

That's fine. He just needed to make a new anchor for her. In fact, why not make several? Ah, but he also needed someone to help defend himself and his mom. He might be monster royalty, but he's still just a kid, and there's only so much one can do when they're fighting the temptations of naptime.

If he's going to need someone to help them, why not bring their legendary hero ancestor himself back from the dead? Even better, the magic would force him to stay by their sides and prevent him from harming them.

So once his mother is safely tucked into bed (read:the arms of some bear monsters who cubs Psaro had befriended) inside the cave, they were taking refuge in he snuck out into the woods to proform an ancient ritual.

He took out a lock of his and his mother's hair, intricately braided together into an odd design, and began chanting the spell he had recently learned and called out for "the oldest true hero in our family line". After what felt like forever, a deep purple fog condensed into a solid person.

The figure was...taller that Psaro expected. And what were those clothes? Erdricks hair and face seemed to be the same as it was depicted in the old paintings and tapestries but he was dressed like a Neanderthal and had a beard and wielded and ax instead of the sword he was known for.

"Erdrick?" Psaro called out, hating how small his voice suddenly sounded.

The man looked confused but not hostile as he lowered onto one knee before the demon prince, "I'm afraid I do not know that name, little one. I am Ortega of Aliahan."

formally apologizing to everyone for getting aborbed into the goofy devastatingn space n time travel show and that kind of fronting my blog along with regular post reblogs.. i feel like i’ve clicked baited you all with the house md reblogs and charming episode reactions and then a couple months later BOOM doctor who gifsets left and right..

[secondpersonpoetry]

hi! oh my goodness. i am SO sorry i didn’t say anything earlier. i did read everything a couple days ago, and i Have been chewing on it, rotating it in my mind, etc etc…..and the graphic has been my phone lockscreen since i first read it!!!!!

frankly i am obsessed and have also been a little frazzled this month lol. saw your post late because of the general whirlwind that is december and then couldn’t quite get my thoughts into sufficient words n got worried “oh no would it be weird to say something now…..” which is incredibly silly in retrospect, so sorry for that. 

i’m relatively new to hockey fandom and the Narratives don’t always quite click for me (yet, at least :)) because i don’t know all of the lore for a lot of the popular pairings haha, so it means a lot that you’ve taken time out of your day to break things down for me and share your own thoughts <3 tysm. again, super sorry for the delayed response. i’m very sorry if you felt as though you’d wasted your time or something along those lines :’) just wanted to let you know that i really appreciate you and the time it took you to get everything down and make the graphic!!!! and like i can’t overstate how much your tags both over here and on your other blog have helped me to Get It since the start of this season, so thank you.

but now the house is quiet, the in-laws are gone, and no new work stuff until january :) so i can finally get some stuff down. every point you brought up hits in it own way but gosh you are very incredibly right the mcstrome of it all…..that’s sort of the lens i’ve been listening to the song through since you mentioned it.

the golden boy and the “draft bust” and the ever present notion of “isn’t it all about old friends? like everything? all of it?”.  like idk looking back on a bestfriendship from when you were a teenager that was Super intense and the lines were blurred and maybe realizing (if you hadn’t had the words or the “guts” or awareness or wtv to put a name to it at that point in your life) that y’all were a smidge more than just friends. 

best friends forever until you just aren’t! growing up and growing apart. it’s just the way things go but it can and will ache for a damn long time! you think you’re over it until their birthday or the holidays roll around and you wonder in a distant sort of way who they’re spending it with. what you would’ve hypothetically gotten them as a present if you still spoke. what do they even like nowadays, anyway?

maybe having the friendship end subtly. going from playing and traveling together and living in one another’s pockets to 2,080 miles of distance? (i may have my timeline/details confused here so sorry in advance) texting as much as you can at first but he’s a phenom he’s mcjesus he’s the next in line he’s expected to win the cup with his new team and end the drought for Canada. and they have him now but he was yours first, wasn’t he? but it’s fine. because you’re busy too. you’re captaining the team now. you’re gonna get the memorial cup that he couldn’t. it’s fine. you’re fine. you don’t even have time to worry about it anyway. 

one conversation a week turns to one a month turns to once in a blue moon turns to stale words until it goes cold. these days you can’t quite seem to remember who ended things, but does it really matter all that much now?

or maybe it doesn’t end like that at all. maybe it ends in a flurry of angry words and digs in some or other of the endless hotel rooms you’ve shared together over the years. who knows!

and that’s not even getting into the rest of the 2015 draft class. or the ld19 of it all! ooh hoo hoo. you grew up with him but he’s not your waiting room. he grew up with you but he’ll grow “old” (end his career) with someone else. and isn’t that just something! 

i don’t think it’s totally them, but sort of the sentiment of “I hope you get everything you ever wanted and I hope I never hear a word about it.” I want one ticket off of your carousel!!!! merry christmas, please don’t call!!!!!!!

dylan being sent up and down and traded around until finally landing in washington, a place where he is clearly at home and LOVED for the guy and player he is!!!!!!!! watching a game and seeing all the strome jerseys in the crowd……..wagh.

all that said. some other songs that are mcstrome to me in various ways: hot & heavy by lucy dacus (lol kinda the whole song). before the world was big by girlpool (“i just miss how it felt standing next to you wearing matching [jerseys? sweaters?] before the world was big”). happiness by Taylor swift (“i guess it’s the price i pay for seven years in heaven”), cut your bangs by radiator hospital (maybe? possibly? unsure. i like the whole dog thing there). i’m so glad i feel this way about you by insignificant other (!!!!!). there are so many THEM lyrics in there……..waough.

anyway. other things off the top of my head: 2015 connor specifically saying something like “hey let’s wait a minute so we can see this” to stand by the stage when dylan was getting drafted after him. MAN. you reminded me of the fact that they couldn’t even make eye contact at the handshake line!!!!!!!!! they didn’t go to each other’s weddings!!!!!!!!!! (do you think once upon a time they ever thought they’d being each other’s best man?). just a couple months ago dylan liking the tweet of connor getting that goal during the playoffs!!!!!!!! makes you wonder if he texted him………..

lol this was all over the place and i was probably wrong on some things and there’s SO much more that someone else could say way more eloquently, but i digress. i dunno everything about them is so nuts to me!!!!! needless to say i will be incredibly sat for the game january 21 🙂‍↕️

thank you again for your time :) hope you have a good one and a happy rest of the holiday season! <3333333

what a lovely message to receive 🥰😭🥹 i had to break it up into chunks because i couldn't sit down to read all of it at once without just. bouncing right back up and shrieking. i am also at heart terribly shy so i understand the struggle but it is never too late to say something <3 you are always welcome here

first!!! i love sharing!! i think most of hockey tumblr loves to see people finding out the Lore for the first time and the wonderful thing about hockey is that. it keeps going on. so there's years and years and generations and generations and always something new to learn about. i've learned to just not be afraid to ask!!! between different teams and players i'm always discovering new narratives (learning about the sharks old man yaoi rn... cbj rarepairs...)

no... to my heart's despair... you have the timeline right. i think in the best most tragic sense there's a mcstrome narrative where it is truly that nothing went wrong. the love was there. we couldn't do enough to save it because we didn't see it slipping away. i didn't notice when you didn't call until you never did. i don't know you now but i still remember when i did, do you?

HE'S NOT YOUR WAITING ROOM?? passing out. i do see "i hope you get everything you ever wanted and i hope i never hear a word about it" as them because!! they didn't go to each other's weddings!!! i don't wish you harm but i'm not going to put myself through that!! i hope you're happy and i'm never going to look on purpose.

i love dylan strome so much and the best part is that they all love him so much too. he wore a cool vintage ovechkin jacket!! and got slapped in the face with a tortilla!! he loves to gently rag on the rookies!! it just takes some time, everything'll be just fine. you're only on the middle of the ride.

OKAY WHEN I READ THIS PART I SCREAMED BECAUSE I DO HAVE A MCSTROME PLAYLIST AND!!!! HOT & HEAVY BY LUCY DACUS IS IN FACT ON IT!!! SO IS CUT YOUR BANGS (BUT BY GIRLPOOL SO DOUBLE JINX)!!!! i have dorothea by taylor swift on there but i don't know happiness so i'll have to give all the other songs a listen. mostly i just shrieked because i was like NO YOU GOT THE VIBES EXACTLY

🧠〰️🧠 truly the mind meld happening here. the handshake line. the mutual wedding non-invitations. i won't block your number or your name on twitter i just hope i don't see it come up on screen!! i do think that we got confirmation the last time they played each other that dylan did text him to say congrats on a milestone but i would have to check the archives

p.s. i think you said it perfectly eloquently :) what matters is that you said it at all and i was delighted to read it 💕

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."

[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.

[shardshouts]

also it should be obvious but you can support palestine while not being antisemitic. genocide is fucking genocide no matter who does it. but its also not the fault of every jewish person yknow? i take issue with anyone who decides to kill people for being other.

just thought i'd throw my two cents while setting up this blog so people don't accuse me of shit lmao. even though it'll happen anyway.
