#I just know I have several american mutuals and I just wanted to say a few words of support

[spineless-lobster]

Hey friends, it’s pretty rough out there right now and it’s totally normal to feel sad and dejected, but I also need you to keep going. Surround yourself with people you love, dive head first into fandom, create something, help your community, look forward to the sunrise in the morning

Do it scared so it angry do it sad do it full of spite I don’t care but I need you to wake up tomorrow and the day after that okay?

Especially to minorities out there, we have been through so much throughout history and we are still here. We will still be here.

Those motherfuckers in office want us dead but we’re not gonna fucking give that to them are we? We’re going to love and support each other and we’re gonna continue to live

Stay safe, I love you, take care of yourself

[mozzaicynth]

one thought everyday and its just the amazing world of gumball especially these three freaks (doodles + some headcanons below :3)

mr small -

my interpretation of small becoming more mellowed out in the future seasons as opposed to season 1 is him managing his anger in a more healthier way (meditation, etc) (plus i think all those herbal infusions are incredibly effective on the nerves) . that being said i think he still has underlying anger issues and lashes out if prompted too much . another reason hes nicer and more of a pushover in the later seasons is because i like to think hes guilty of his plethora of outbursts earlier on, especially towards students (unwarranted shouting which as a school counsellor he should know is pretty harmful on younger kids) . the fact that he tries to offer his help when its absolutely not needed so many times later on in the show further makes me like to think he’s making up for it all

hes also so autistic to me hes on the spectrum you cant tell me otherwise and i think hes pretty awkward and considered strange by the whole town (which is saying a lot for elmore standards) . still super friendly and approachable but he also cant take hints and he definitely stims (and has special interests, alternative medicine are you kidding)

his music taste i love to think is all over the place … i get the general consensus is he listens to mystic chants and sitar music but he definitely listens to more, ranging from pop to indie to rock to metal (this may or may not have become an idea when i was listening to ‘darts by soad and associated it with him,) . also what with his stupid little self funded album that is such a jarring listen ‘cause of all the ridiculous genre changes

i think he crochets/macrames as a hobby along with other diy stuff (most of the decorative items in his home crafted by him) making him, surprisingly considering how incompetent he is sometimes, super crafty/handy .

larry -

larry is a great person: incredibly intelligent, he’s very knowledgable on a plethora of subjects and he has a big heart, holding little to no virtriol against the people of elmore (except the wattersons but that is SO warranted) . thus i like to imagine he did great in school, moved on to do so wonderfully in uni whilst juggling jobs and his studies but after graduation was left stuck (alike so many people nowadays) . neither small or larry came from well off families but i think for larry he didn’t have much of a support system anyway so currently he overworks and works and works just to catch up on the student debt whilst simultaneously paying his taxes (i still think about that episode all the time fuck the police . big pink son of a bitch), loans and not to mention the bare minimum to keep himself alive

he’s a very sweet and kind person but anyone under the immense stress that he’s under would be irritable and temperate (he deserves to be more angry imo) and i whilst he has so many jobs he always aims to excel at all of them, having an incredibly particular way that tasks must be done and having them organised . because of this, he can be a lot more temperate when interacting with coworkers, especially those who don’t do their job as well, having to take matters into his own hands . as he and karen (his girlfriend throughout the series) share some jobs it puts a strain on their relationship (which was built off of the mutual ‘having several jobs’) and they break up .

even so, though larry consistently tries to propose to her in the show, in “the laziest” he doesn’t seem to be happy nor comfortable at all with the prospects of marrying her . in fact, even when he’s achieved the ‘american dream’ (properties like a house and car and a family (his girlfriend soon to be wife)) he’s unhappy . personally i don’t think he knows what he wants to do with himself ; he works all day and night and has little to no time for himself to even think in peace that the only purpose he knows is work .

i like to think he used to be an artist; self taught, it was a hobby and an enjoyment but his studies and his work took over so his one form of self expression was squeezed out of his life .. (i like making their lives as bleak as possible soz ! 🙏) he still admires the arts and i think that’s another reason he likes steve so much; his handcrafts and mini projects .

steve and larry are two opposites that are similar in ways .. but i love their dynamic so much . my interpretation of them is that steve will help larry balance out his life slightly better to leave room for himself instead of working 24/7 . steve has his head in the clouds and larry grounds him, and larry is so stuck in his ways with work that steve pulls him out of it slightly, lifting him up a little higher (AUGHHHGHH I HATE THEM I HATE THEM

as for their relationship with rob, im very much a stevelmeyer adoption truther !! both larry and steve coming from dysfunctional families, they aim to help rob and take care of him to the best of their abilities . further, larry taking on taking care of rob gives him direction in his life again . 😁😁😁😁😁😁

this isnt gonna be the last post headcanon/idea wise i still think of them 24/7 but heres jus SOME things .. (im such a yapper sprry not sorry !) :3c

[lovecuprite]

heads up - i have stated several times before that i do not want drama on my page, but if people are talking about me in discord servers, i have to prove i'm not 'clitfilms'.

if the person spreading these lies could message me themselves, i could actually prove it to them but since i don't know who it is...

i'd appreciate either someone letting me know which discord server or just sharing this with them so they see

but this post is all i will say on it, i'm here to write and talk about fictional characters with people, not drama

i have had in total '3' tumblr accounts.

one was an account from dec 2023-mar 2024 that i didn't write too much on but had mutuals such as vegas, winter, karina etc. who are my mutuals still on this account (i'm not @/ anyone because i'm not bringing anyone into this, if you know them by these names then there you go)

the second was an account from jun 30th 2024 - the day i made this one.

this was basically a cod centric blog, the account is still up but posts have been made private. again, some people from that blog are mutuals with me still on this one such as abby, zee etc. (this one, unlike the first has not been deleted so if you want the @ and you don't know it, just message me)

i left this account because the cod fandom was not welcoming and i didn't feel comfortable or wanted in that space, which is funny because now i'm comfortable here, of course someone is trying to start stuff that i'm not even part of.

the third account is this current one.

these are the only 3 accounts that i have ever had.

okay moving on, i did not know who clitfilms was until people came in my inbox with drama, since then i have looked up her account so anything i'm saying here is based on that:

for starters it says she's dutch american. i don't know where she lives but i do know that she uses american english (e.g. mom)

i have never used american english. why? because i'm from the uk. you will never catch me writing mom or color or favorite or any other american spelling.

that aside, i can quite easily show i'm not living in the us (or wherever she is), which is where i'm going to say you could've messaged me, whoever this is.

discord servers can incite hate very easily, i'm sure you know this, which is why you chose to not only make false accusations about me in a group setting, but also did it where i cannot defend myself.

i'm assuming you know this sort of thing triggers hate, so if you're going to want people to jump on a hate train, you should damn well make sure that what you are saying is 100% true, which it is not.

i live in the uk and i attend uni in the uk, i could quite easily take a picture and prove it.

secondly, i have a uk driver's license which again, i could show you part of (including my dob) to show you that i very obviously live in the uk.

linked to that, here is a post from that second account (cod centric) that i mentioned:

as you can see on the post, it says my birthday is in a few hours. if you check the time it was posted, it's 26th of july at 22:27, meaning my birthday would be the 27th of july

and wouldn't you know it, that's the exact date on my damn id :)))))

clitfilms is apparently a taurus and 22, i am 20, again my dob proves it if you see my id...and idk what dates taurus' are but i do know i'm a leo.

aside from the fact that i think it should already be obvious...my cod centric account i was posting on so regularly as i was on summer break. so how the hell am i posting regularly on that blog and creating a completely new one at the same time and posting on there?? (i don't know how frequent she posts because as i said, i do not know her) but i'm assuming she posted enough that it would not make sense timing wise.

like let's use our brains people....

i think the last thing i can say is ao3 - this is my ao3

if you check this, you will see not only my kinktober posts from this account but also some of my cod posts and jjk posts etc. from that second account.

so just do the math and like hello?? it's so blatant that i am not them

i don't know them or their drama or anything they did or didn't do because i am not them. i don't even know what apparently happened or with who, so please leave me out of it.

[jamisonwritestf2trash]

“I really just need to make an entire breakdown on Medic one of these days 😭” Well, do it. Umm, you coward —I'm so sorry for calling you a coward, Jamison :'(—.

Medic's Past Headcanons (Also Some Archimedes Content!)

————————————————————

No apology needed my friend, I am but a coward 😭

I lied a little bit, I changed my mind on doing a full breakdown, just changed it to some headcanons about his past and meeting Archimedes </3

But no, I've mainly not posted this because I've had other requests and also this one will probably get heavy. I wasn't sure if I wanted to post content with actual angst and upsetting themes.

But I'm here now because looking past all the jokes and my own personal love for doctors. I should also mention, written by an American and a person with know knowledge of the German education system, and medical practices in general!

ALSO, finally writing Medic with his accent and some actual German, please forgive me if you are a native speaker for using a mix of google translate and my very poor German skills 💖

————————————————————

ALSO ALSO mutual appreciation comment! Another thank you for letting me talk about Medic <3

————————————————————

TW: CHILD NEGELECT, SU!C1D@L IDIATIONS, FLUFF AT THE END!

————————————————————

He's been asked about his mother before, his answer has always been,

"Meine mutter? She vas good woman, she... she did her best." Said with a softer tone than anyone has ever heard him speak in.

He's lying. She severely neglected him as child. After his mother fell pregnant, his father left. His mother resented Medic for this, blaming him for his father leaving, refusing to realize how volatile their relationship had been before he was conceived. When Medic was born his mother refused to bond with him, holding him only when others gave her expecting looks. For the first years of his life his mother only tended to his basic needs to keep him from crying, his crying always annoyed her. It never got better with time, she never learned to love him like people had claimed when she started expressing her contempt for him. She would sometimes give him small bits of attention, then she would get a wicked smile on her face as he cried when she stopped paying attention to him for seemingly no reason. Always making him feel like he was responsible for the sudden lack of attention.

————————————————————

His younger years in school is also something he will lie about if asked. (I'm ignoring college because uh, I have no idea what to write for that 😭)

"I vas great, top of my classes, Natürlich. Ich war sehr beliebt."

(Of course. I was very popular)

When he was younger, he was top of his classes. He always excelled at whatever class he was put in, his favorites being science, he obviously loved medical textbooks, along with zoology textbooks, always had one of the other, he'd spend lunches just reading from his books, or hiding in the library, trying to learn everything he could about both. In a way you could say he was popular, but not in the good way. He always had his books on hand, always had the best grades, was always the teachers favorite student, and the other kids hated that. He took his fair share of beatings while he was in school.

————————————————————Medic had never thought about dying, sure he watched patients die, and he knew deep down his mother had died at some point, (He never heard from her after he left his home town, despite his attempts to contact her) but he never thought about the concept of him dying. It hit him like a ton of bricks when he had his first panic attack, and it clicked in his head that he just didn't want to be alive. He couldn't tell you why the switch flipped in his head that made him reach that low, but it did, and it was awful. He almost went insane, he couldn't breathe, he couldn't do anything besides sit in his room and feel years of emotions just hit him out of nowhere. He thought he would die, he wanted to die, dying would be preferable to whatever this was. In the midst of his panic attack, something hit his window with a loud thump. (Aren't I so clever for this transition? lmao 😭)

————————————————————

The day Medic and Archimedes met continues to be one of the best days of his life. A bird had hit his window, pulling him out of whatever spiral he was currently having. Medic just looked at the window for a minute, content to just assume the bird flew off after being dazed a bit. When he heard tiny coos and chirps outside. He pushed it open and saw a little dove huddled in a corner, cooing sadly, shaking as it tried to move its wing but chirping painfully when he moved his wing. Medic put his hand out and tried to scoop up the bird, and the bird ended up attacking his hand. Medic pulled his hand back, a tad shocked, but then tried again. The bird slowly eased up to him once he understood Medic wasn't going to hurt him. Medic took him inside and checked him out. His wing was broken, and it was nothing Medic couldn't fix. He fixed up the birds wing, then decided to get some things to keep the bird comfortable while he recovered. He ended up spoiling him without realizing it. He went to go buy a bird cage and ended up buying the nicest one, the best bird food, and even toys 😭 He came back and set it up all nice for the bird. They bonded pretty quickly after that. However, time passed, and Medic found himself growing attached to the little bird, even naming him, which he knew was a mistake the moment he did so. He knew it was a bad idea, and he did it anyway. After about a month of them living together, Archimedes wing was functional again, Medic enjoyed watching him fly from his cage to the door to great him when he came home from wherever he had gone. But after the third or fourth time, Archimedes greeted him at the door. He knew he was well enough to go back out into the world. That evening, before sunset, Medic opened his window and put Archimedes on the ledge, prompting him to fly off, totally not on the verge of tears, about to experience the worst pain of his life or anything. Archimedes just tilted his head, confused, turned around, and nestled up to Medics arm that he had been propping himself on. Audible sobbing could be heard from his house that night. Medic would later find a way to keep Archimedes to live forever with him, making sure that Archimedes was spoiled to death, and was told each day the value Medic put on their friendship.

"Wir werden für immer zusammen sein, mein Freund, das verspreche ich!"

"Coo"

(It'll be us forever my friend, I promise.)

(I'm counting on it)

—���——————————————————

Ough, im a sucker for a happy ending 😭or for some reason, I feel like this is super embarrassing, but I' going to ignore that feeling. Sorry for the angst dump, but it had to be done, and I'm sorry it's not very long! I hope you guys like this! Uh, a mini headcanons, then another Medic post, and then some new headcanons are in the works! There is so much Medic content, but I'm not complaining 💖

[punksocks]

Ok y’all I’m not sharing this to steal any attention away from the very needed focus on Palestinian voices and advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza. I just thought I should share the work I’m doing on my other platforms for fundraising efforts for Palestinian nonprofits and mutual aid orgs. I guess I don’t want to seem disingenuous when I say as soon as I have the funds I’ll donate to gofundme campaigns (I have donated to several of those and can add those receipts if you’d like)

I want to use all the resources I can to actively work for solidarity for Palestine and all of the global activism going on to actually free Palestine and rebuild Gaza.

I donated $405 to the PRCS in November, and donated $916 to buying eSIMs for Connecting humanity in May, and donated just over $250 so far to Bridge to Baladi and their work to feed families and support mutual aid in Gaza

All this to say I want to be as active as I can be on tumblr as well in my supportive efforts. If you inbox me with a vetted fundraiser I will share it and if you purchase a birth chart reading l’ll donate 50% of that to either Bridge to Baladi or a fundraiser from my inbox or a fundraiser of your choice.

As an American I feel like it’s responsible not to use all of the resources I can to give to Palestinians in need of resources, advocacy, and a ceasefire from weapons and settler violence funded by tax dollars.

As a Black person I know that none of us are free until all of as are and as a member of the diaspora it’s my social responsibility to aid indigenous folks in solidarity of decolonial efforts with any resources I can get my hands on, especially while they’re enduring one of the worst genocides in history and asking for our help

Free Palestine🍉

[maria-scariotes]

I don't have a eugenistic motive against producing mixed people. I do find it unethical to produce mixed kids in a racially oppressive and antagonistic society, that's what I'm trying to communicate. Race should be an issue when marrying and producing kids. How can you not understand?

I know you're mixed, I knew before you stated it. So many latinos are mixed, myself included. What I find enraging about latinos, and specifically South Americans, is that they purposely avoid any real discussion on race. Latinos are really dumb when it comes to the racial topic but especially South Americans, South Americans are real monsters on this issue. I hear stories about Nazis escaping Germany and settling in Argentina, without issue. The natives don't feel repulsed, their neighbors aren't repulsed at their crimes. And these former Nazis can live comfortably in Argentina and start a family and even live a better life than the native Argentinans. I hear stories about Argentinan children getting some memorabilia from their grandparents who came from Germany, and it's fucking Nazi memorabilia. And they can openly pass that Nazi memorabilia because other Argentinan's don't care. No grandpa can pass down their Nazi watch to their grandkids in the US like that, in Latin America it's fine. It's the same with Brazil, you had or have a mutual who was this Japanese Brazilian. It's great that her grandpa can move to Brazil after losing the war and avoiding responsibility by moving to Brazil. Why shouldn't he? The Brazilians don't have a problem with it, it doesn't matter what he did to Korean women or to anyone deemed an enemy. He can live comfortably in Brazil and start a family and continue like nothing happened, he's just another Brazilian, except a Brazilian who is probably doing better than native Brazilians. Don Fransisco's family were Jews fleeing oppression and he ended up in Chile. I don't remember if he was born there or moved there but point is despite him having no actual hereditary origin from the people of Chile he became the face of Latin America. How does someone who has no actual origin in a place become the most popular and celebrated person of that place? It's because his white skin, this dude's family was going to be killed in Europe but that oppression turns into privilege in Latin America. Sábado Gigante was something, some white host celebrated and when they would look into the audience it was actually native American people in the audience. It was surreal.

I don't want to make this long, if I had to point out every racial hypocrisy of Latin America I'd have no time for myself.

This United States person, who claims to be Latino just cuz their ancestors are (the same shit they are criticizing) think that the Japanese immigration happened after second world war 🤣

Japanese came here in the late 1800, 1910, 1920, when they are passing through an economic crisis, the same that would give strength in Japan to the rise of Imperialism. Before fascism there is always a deep economic crisis and there is where the Brazilian Japanese came, before any world war.

Actually, after Second world war facism became a CRIME in Brazil, something you can't say about your holy USA

Argentina happens that cuz almost 90% of Argentina is white, aka, european colonizers. That's why they open their arms Nazi

And funny you say that this would NEVER happen in USA when USA after the end of the war just took several Nazis and bring them to USA. You guys only went to the moon cuz the Nazis took you there

Please United States born person, stop calling yourself latina and thinking you can talk about South America and think you are one of us. You are not. You are a USA citizen with eugenic self hatred

This is if you even ARE what you saying you are

Any authentic anti-authoritarian resistance should be an offer: an open offer to all who cherish freedom, sharing, giving, healthy habitats, mutual aid, cooperation and voluntary association.

It isn’t just for the ultra-exploited or the severely marginalized. It isn’t open only to the excluded or the imprisoned or the hungry and poor. But it listens carefully to all these voices because they know firsthand of the most brutal hardships authoritarian systems impose on their inhabitants. It doesn’t scapegoat anyone because of their genital morphology. It doesn’t point self-righteous fingers at skin tones or linguistic groups. It doesn’t exclude some because of their place of birth on the social ladder. It has a low tolerance for judgment, guilt and shame as weapons and tools. We are all in this mess together, and we need to make room for all of us to contribute meaningfully to a way out. Our solidarity is an invitation to all.

But History has created identities marked by privilege for some, victimization and powerlessness for others, and the rebellions are determined to free everyone from these chains. In the meantime, there can be no place for those who want power, who want to control others.

An anarchic rebellion aimed at healthy habitats and free, unique individuals embedded in authentic communities, makes room for the old and the frail, for the young and the strong, for the impatient and the patient, for those who are repulsed by violence and those who view its use as another weapon in our arsenal. Morality and dichotomous world views cannot choose it, because it is an organic, site-specific impetus. Each region, each town, neighborhood, affinity-culture, or tribe can base its secession from the nation-state on their own desires, tenets, and dreams.

Starting from a circle of friends--or a neighborhood, an eco-village, an island, a commune, an ethnic group, part of a city, a city, a region, a clan, a reserve, a cult--its ultimate aim is always access to territory from which the group can sustain itself. This means that it always seeks access to land. Naturally, there is room for wandering lone wolves, nomadic families, and hobo tribes, as long as free villages and liberated zones aren’t viewed as mini welfare states for them to depend on.

Do you know how to grow or gather food? Do any of your neighbors? I don’t mean a weekend garden, but enough to sustain you and your extended family over a winter. Should the capitalist market collapse, and the stores all get looted, what would you eat? Do you have seeds, a fishing rod or a hunting weapon? Do you know how to use any ofthese? Is there a place unpolluted enough that you could goto for food? Are you part of a tribe, a community or a clan? Are you woven tightly enough into any social group that would be willing to help each other out in a time of crisis, or are you an atomized individual whose social group consists mostly of your immediate family, with a few friends you see occasionally at work or at play?

The vast majority of Europeans and North Americans, and of urban dwellers everywhere, are just like you. They have no seeds, no survival skills and no fishing rod or hunting weapon, belong to no genuine community, haven’t a garden or access to an unpolluted place from which they can gather food or medicine. You aren’t alone, at least in your predicament.

One doesn’t always have the option of joining in social disturbances, most often you have to take responsibility and help create them. This isn’t as difficult as you might think at first. It involves taking time away from work. It means saying hello to a stranger. It asks you to turn off your TV and other weapons of social control. Where possible, it involves exploring the wilderness and countryside closest to you.

Revolt requires being optimistic in the face of the nearly insurmountable. It means viewing privacy not as something to preserve and protect, but to unburden oneself from. It demands that you spend more time with children, not only yours, but children in general. It requires you to envision humans as a collection of individual life-forms each an integral part of a natural home.

Sorry, I just saw this old tweet, and it like pre women kings probably

https://x.com/copicsquiddo/status/1381723968713986048?s=46

Roots? What roots? The Dahomey intentionally made sure the ancestors were we mainly came minds were too damage. Actually I heard that Dahomey slaves had to walk around a certain tree part of their ritual.

I was thinking about a story where an African villain try that “we are brothers” thing to a black American and the black American goes

“As soon as my Yoruba ancestors walked around that tree so the Dahomey could get more guns. We lost all ties to Africa.”

And the villain eyes widen when he realize “the false Eden” trick people like him used on my community is lost steam and we are learning the truth

I wonder how in 40 years, people will be shocked how I treat African cultures and people…like human beings. And don’t have the pan Africa mentality

And I’m might have to tell them a very old comedy anime (by then) about stereotypical personifications of countries named Hetalia. And a historical fiction with scifi elements and a secret war make appreciate real life cultures more than college educated people

Of course that not the sole reason, as I was able to take to people from different parts of the world and got a close mutual that really made me realize my American identity

And the Yoruba….okay probably my depression…it’s a bit…painful at first researching their culture because realizing how you are an alien to the group most of your genome came from. I mean it’s not their fault (we decided to lionized the bastards who cause it in the first place for “girl power”)

But it’s a different culture and I must acknowledge it

You know I was asking my Mexican mutual why I don’t have the same entitlement or insufferable attitude towards Africa like many other black Americans. Of course not all are like that

But if you say you want to go back to the motherland to me. I presume you mean Alabama or Nebraska for that where my family is at

And I’m midwestern living in the Chicago area working at Amazon. These people in the entertainment industry lives in California and NYC. They can talk to direct native Africans and tribes on a silver platter

But they refuse to then or collab and continue this 10 year old bitter understanding of Africa

Tbh…I think because a lot of black Americans ADULTS think their shitty pubic education spark notes of African history. And refuse to grow up

A plenty of genuine Africans would gladly teach us about their culture and maybe people like me who want to learn what my Africans ancestors did before the chains.

But black Americans activists, yes I’m talking to YOU

Stop having TANTRUMS because Africans ain’t going to treat you why kids gloves.

Hard to show empathy to a group that knowingly get diamonds and nikes from child run mines and workshops

But cool ac collab

Omg imagine telling your friends in the 90’s, a institute would use a video game to help show the visuals of 9th century Baghdad

I like to think that some people actually took the time to learn about themselves and their roots as a result of that one, just like several other bits of media.

I also like to think some of those people got a rude awakening about the history of various peoples and cultures in Africa, and I do hope they kept on learning after that instead of putting the book down and choosing ignorance.

I was thinking about a story where an African villain try that “we are brothers” thing to a black American and the black American goes “As soon as my Yoruba ancestors walked around that tree so the Dahomey could get more guns. We lost all ties to Africa.” And the villain eyes widen when he realize “the false Eden” trick people like him used on my community is lost steam and we are learning the truth

You're gonna have the hoteps awful mad with that, but then again they reject any reality that's not the false one they've created for themselves and no amount of evidence will get through their heads anyhow.

I wonder how in 40 years, people will be shocked how I treat African cultures and people…like human beings. And don’t have the pan Africa mentality

in 40 years I hope more people will have figured that all out, throwing off the victim mentality isn't gonna be super easy tho

And I’m might have to tell them a very old comedy anime (by then) about stereotypical personifications of countries named Hetalia. And a historical fiction with scifi elements and a secret war make appreciate real life cultures more than college educated people

I've heard of that one and seen stuff from it too.

Of course that not the sole reason, as I was able to take to people from different parts of the world and got a close mutual that really made me realize my American identity

American identity is complicated at times, always remember we eat borgar everything else can be secondary.

And the Yoruba….okay probably my depression…it’s a bit…painful at first researching their culture because realizing how you are an alien to the group most of your genome came from. I mean it’s not their fault (we decided to lionized the bastards who cause it in the first place for “girl power”) But it’s a different culture and I must acknowledge it

Ya I wouldn't know what to do if I went where my DNA says I'm from, one of those weird things about being American.

And I’m midwestern living in the Chicago area working at Amazon. These people in the entertainment industry lives in California and NYC. They can talk to direct native Africans and tribes on a silver platter But they refuse to then or collab and continue this 10 year old bitter understanding of Africa

I'm still waiting on the next chapter of the Captain Alex series to come out of Wakaliwood.

And yes, you'd think they'd go and actually talk to these people, problem with the American audience is they generally speaking don't know Bantu from Yoruba to Zulu ect so mushing them all together won't register to most of the audience and it's cheaper for the studio.

A plenty of genuine Africans would gladly teach us about their culture and maybe people like me who want to learn what my Africans ancestors did before the chains.

That was one of the nice things about the Disney park I worked at, they had "ambassadors" from various parts of Africa in the Africa section who's only job was to talk about where they're from, lot of South Africans since English was needed, but there were others too, Asia had that too.

But black Americans activists, yes I’m talking to YOU Stop having TANTRUMS because Africans ain’t going to treat you why kids gloves. Hard to show empathy to a group that knowingly get diamonds and nikes from child run mines and workshops

Sadly the Americanization of the globe marches on, some African countries asking for reparations, which the proper response is go talk to the people that sold you and get your money from them, which works for both us over here and them over there.

If Benin tried to claim some sort of reparations I would hope everyone would laugh in their face, they're the successor to the Dahomey empire, they owe the money not the other way around.

Oh that's cool

Omg imagine telling your friends in the 90’s, a institute would use a video game to help show the visuals of 9th century Baghdad

They do love their accuracy, gonna have to look this up go see them there Hanging Gardens of Babylon and all that good stuff.

B, D, J, K, M, T (doesn't have to be just DS if you don't want it to be!)

A -> Z FANDOM ASKS.

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

it feels like cheating to say any ships that came from rp because 90% of the time there's no way you'd consider them otherwise, but the one that stands out to me is willie and esme (ft. @retrograderesemblance) cherish them, would never have put them together on my own lol.

beyond that, and this doesn't really count for not ever considering it, but I was a w.illabeth disliker until this year, I read several persuasive defenses, and writing lizzie swayed me. so elizabeth herself changed my mind kinda.

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

ok listen. it's s.parrington. i get it intellectually and i see the vision but i just don't like it and i have tried for years it is just not. idk. can't do it.

J - Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr.

i hope this is dark shadows to all my treasured mutuals whom i single-handedly inundate with ds content all over their dashes. my answer would be e.lisabeth das musical or honestly like ? robespierre of french history kinda has a stan army on here.

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

ohhh who would i say for ds. maybe roger because he gets domesticated, and makes truly wild strides in his relationship with his son. ( go white boy break that patrilineal curse ). weirdly i also kinda wanna say joe is up there ? he has an interesting journey from Carolyn's Rejected Puppy All American Fish Boy to like ... helping vic investigate laura, being ang's chew toy, having a mental breakdown. and also deeply caring about david! maybe i just like it when people start caring about the kid.

elsewhere it's jimothy norrington. easy. character arc of all time.

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

not many people on this show because that's a death sentence but lowkey.. natalie dupres (josette's "spinster aunt") bc i think we would really get along. fancy french brunches with the gay aunt and we can talk shit about barnabas. even though she would bully me for my french, and rightfully so.

elsewhereeee hmm. alice k.ingsleigh would make a wonderful friend. sybil c.rawley. max b.lack sails.

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending? 

most of my headcanons about vicki tbh dan curtis can piss off. namely that girl has autism. she dislikes the task of setting her hair / sleeping on rollers and rarely feels like doing it, but her and carolyn will sometimes set hair for each other for some girl time. roger fencing and liz ice skating. i also know i'm right about specifically vic's and carolyn's music taste (monkees/mamas & the papas/paul revere & the raiders/herman's hermits, and jan&dean/the ventures/elvis/beach boys, respectively). vic is also added in the collins family history. david draws her in after she dies/disappears, and elizabeth has her formally added after she discovers his handiwork.

you can also pry my "elizabeth swann's burgundy dress was esme's" from my cold dead hands ! like. that's such an important one to me sdfgfd.

Tag ppl you wanna know betteeer

Tagged by: @somaisbatman

Last song: "Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)" by Talking Heads has been my latest major earworm. I just made it the new opening of the playlist I’ve been slowly building for the BBEG of my D&D campaign. “Take a look at these hands! The hands of a government man”

Favorite Color: I genuinely loved the red that @somaisbatman picked but for the sake of individuality I'll say the type of pink/lilac/violet-y color that clouds take on at sunset

Currently Watching: umpteenth rewatch of Twin Peaks: The Return with friends. I also started Nichijou with friends recently, which is hysterical

Last Movie: A few: Rewatched The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, probably a top 10-or-20 all-timer for me, since I had been thinking about the late great Michael Gambon; Patlabor 2 (without any context for the rest of the franchise), which was really interesting and beautifully animated and made me want to get mechapilled; and The World's Greatest Sinner, a film directed by and starring notorious Hollywood hanger-on Timothy Carey, about the meteoric political rise of a former insurance salesman who wants to empower the American people with immortality. To quote @impish-lion, it is a glimpse into the mind of your father's weirdest friend. He also compared the protagonist to Euron Greyjoy in that he barely registers as a human being, mainlines a Mystery Juice definitely illicit in nature, and fancies himself a god

Currently Reading: Too many books. I'm making my way through The Lord of the Rings for the first time, which, y'know, it's great. Fevre Dream by George R.R. Martin is pretty good so far, and it's interesting to see earlier stages for a lot of ideas that get more fleshing out in ASOIAF. Also by GRRM we have A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which like LOTR has taken me embarrassingly long to pick up. I'm slowly inching through The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu, which I'm determined to finish because I really liked its predecessor, even if this trilogy is a little out of my usual wheelhouse. Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin is great even if I need to put it down for a few weeks at a time. And lastly Inherent Vice by Thomas Pynchon, at whose midpoint I've been stalled for about a year. I'm loving it, I've just seen the movie so many times, and also as you can see I've got a lot on my plate already lol

Sweet/spicy/savory: Spicy

Relationship status: Single (not working super actively to change this, but I am talking very casually to people on the apps, more to feel Desired than anything. at least one connection seems promising so We Shall See. I just want to kiss cool queer people lol)

Current Obsessions: I'm in a bit of an obsession-rut, barring like, the actually obsessive things I do, i.e. washing my hands over and over lmao. I really want to rewatch the The Terror for Halloween season, that will definitely become an obsession if I do. I've also been playing lots of Baldur's Gate III but I wouldn't say that's at Obsession Status.

Last googled: the release date for Killers of the Flower Moon. I'm busy that weekend :(

Currently working on: My video editing reel. The next arc of my D&D campaign (no idea when I'll actually be running it, but I feel really confident that I've basically got it all mapped out. I've been running it for several years now and much as I'll miss it when it's finished, I am incredibly happy to wrap it up soon lol). I've also taken to writing creatively more in my free time recently which has been nice. EDIT: oh, also my mental health/gender/interpersonal relationships but that’s not Currently so much as Perennially lol

tagging my irl friend @impish-lion even though I know him pretty well. also tagging mutuals @visenyaism/@soupseason, @moss-sprouted and @pigeonz/@melasshai. Nobody do this if you don't want to lol

Movies You Don’t Think Of As Christmas Movies (revised and updated for 2022)

Yeah, yeah, It's A Wonderful White Christmas Carol Story On 34th Street instantly springs to mind whenever somebody says "Christmas Movie" but here are a few you should give thought to as alternative programming for the season.

 L.A. Confidential

 The movie opens with a renegade LA cop going through his naughty list then spreading a little holiday cheer in a liquor store before answering the musical question, “Does the LAPD knows how to throw a Christmas party or what?”

 Die Hard / Lethal Weapon / Gremlins

 Oh, yeah, like you didn’t see these coming…

 On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

 The only James Bond movie with a Christmas song.

 Hell’s Heroes

 Hell's Heroes is the first sound version of The Three Godfathers, most famously filmed in 1948 with John Wayne.  Based on the novel by Peter B. Kyne, Three Godfathers has been filmed officially six times (2 silent versions, 3 talkies, 1 TV movie) and unofficially more than can be counted (see below).  Hell's Heroes is my favorite take on the tale, a story of three doomed desperadoes who sacrifice themselves to bring an infant to safety across the trackless desert. 

 Tokyo Godfathers

 So how in the world does a novel set in the American West translate into an animated feature set in 21st century Tokyo?  Very well, thank you.  The time and setting and characters have changed but it remains essentially the same story:  The desperate, the doomed, and the damned prove their humanity by saving an infant on Christmas Eve.  Highly recommended.

 The Junky’s Christmas

 Now, I know what you're thinking: You're thinking "Buzz has finally lost his pea-pickin' mind.  A story about a petty criminal drug addict trying to score a fix is his idea of a Christmas story?!?!?"

As a failed veep candidate would say:  "Hew betcha."  'Cuz The Junky's Christmas is William S. Burrough's meditation on the act of compassion even when it runs contrary to one's own self-interest.  It's the story of a jonesin' user who has the choice of feeding his addiction or helping a total stranger who needs his fix even more than he does.  Read the original short story, then watch the marvelous animated puppet film.

 Christmas On Mars

 No, this is the film where I finally lose my pea-pickin' mind.  Christmas On Mars is an indie sci-fi feature by the Oklahoma alt rock band, The Flaming Lips.  It's a clever, well made, intelligent, thoughtful, and ultimately uplifting tale of human colonists on Mars just trying to get through their daily routines without collapsing into despair and depression.

I recommend Christmas On Mars highly, but if you are among my many friends who are easily offended (and remember, if I think something might be a little iffy you can guess how far on beyond zebra it must be) take heed:  The aliens are modeled on something that's incredibly NSFW.  Santa Claus Conquers The Martiansthis ain't...

 Tangerine

 A story of two transgender Hollywood street hustlers on Christmas Eve, with everything you could want in a holiday film:  Inventively obscene language, rampant prostitution, startling displays of nudity, and horrifying-yet-hilarious street violence.

And compassion.

And loyalty.

And love.

For several characters, their Christmas ends in heartbreaking despair brought about by their own weaknesses and failings, yet in the end Tangerine focuses on the two hustlers mutual support providing them joy and peace that none of the others can know.

Just reblogged the only 4 posts I ever made regarding the situation with em1grate and m1llionaires. I didn't know their new blogs until about 8 hours ago. I legit thought they were gone and leaving me alone but it seems that isn't the case. For the last day or so they've been accusing me of stalking them, and talking shit about them when I haven't. You can scroll back on my blog. I have nothing to hide. It's the #the puppeteer // mun tag if you didn't know. And I've been informed that ever since that incident they've been watching my blog, vaguing about me every single day, and even sent screenshots. Now, keep in mind. I originally found out m1llionaires had me blocked bc they were interacting with a mutual. I was curious who they were so I clicked their name. Found I was blocked. I went ok and carried on with my life.

Flash forward a week later, I find out that m1llionaires was h0rrorwood, who got all butthurt cuz I said not to follow me if you don't like my faceclaims. And I never told her bf to block her. I wanted him to say something to her cuz she vagued about me right after I made my post about the fcs issue.

I was gonna leave it there but it kept going (you can scroll my posts from earlier today. They're every single screenshot I had about it.) So I blocked him too and moved on. Now I'll admit I was a bit petty. I posted lyrics to Slaughterhouse, and Massacre The New American Dream, as well as reblogged several pics of palaye supporting LGBT, including trans people. But I eventually stopped and moved on with my life.

Flash forward to a few days ago, and the whole thing with nevermoreunihq starts up. Now, I'm not racist or ableist. I'm gonna say this rn before anybody jumps to conclusions. I do not wish to change my characters or rp characters who do not share the struggles I do, out of respect for the people who do. I don't feel confident enough that I'll get it right and I don't wish to offend anybody. This stranger things blog, inactive from August, chimes in only reading half the post, calls me racist and ableist. Not willing to listen. (These screenshots are also below.) I go into their dms and try to clear the air like an adult. They still are unwilling to listen so I blocked them. Then saw they got an ask from an anon and wouldn't you know. It was the same people with the FC drama. My post about nevermoreunihq, and my response to their post was deleted from here but it still exists on that stranger things blog brokenmvses. Go ahead take a look. As well as the Anon.

After that happened I decide to take a break. It wasn't good for my mental health. I was already dealing with a lot at the time of this happening. Then I get a DM from m1llionaires. (Screenshot is also below from the last day)

I shrug it off, screenshotted it and blocked them. Then I find out just who m1llionaires is. And oh boy. I find out from my sources that m1llionaires had been accusing me of stalking them for the past week, despite me not knowing their URLS until earlier today, and I checked both blogs to see what I could see what had been said. Now at this point, I'd made the new blog and sent dms out to a bunch of people with the new url so we could continue to interact. I found out that someone had ratted out my new blog to my stalkers. They sent me Anon hate but I didn't respond to it. I merely blocked it, hid the blog completely, and changed the URL.

Now here's what's going through my head. One person must've said something or was actively looking for my new blog. If it was the latter, you got too much time on your hands and you're clearly obsessed. If it was the former, somebody ratted me out. Now I told one person I didn't fully trust. And get this, they're mutuals with m1llionaires. So of course my first thought was "seriously? After I defended you after you attempted suicide? I did nothing to you." So I block them on both blogs. Then I got screenshots of a portion of a callout from em1grate.

The only thing that's true here is that I told people not to follow me if they didn't like my fcs. I wasn't sent the full callout bc it's apparently very long and I can't view the account cuz it's password protected.

And at this point I'd had my pinned post up for a WHILE. Then I get sent this.

I was never attacking you. I was proving a point. You're just trying to incite hate towards me by playing the victim. IDC if the original post wasn't about me. You vagued about me after I blocked you and told people not to follow me if they don't like my fcs. It's in my rules now because it has to be said now that if you don't like somebody don't follow them.

You need a life. I got better things to worry about in my own life than to worry what goes on in yours. I never actively sought you out. I didn't post about you at all until today. I never looked for you. And now you've brought this on yourself.

Now, as a conclusion. These two are stalkers. They've been stalking my blog since they made their new ones and have been vaguing about me nonstop since when I nearly forgot about them. Consider this a callout, will you? This is how you do a true callout. I am sick of being pushed around by you when I did nothing to you. I'm sick of being bullied. If you see this post, report m1llionaires and em1grate.

Tag 9 people you want to get to know better

tagged by @puddleglumms (the feeling is mutual omg!)

Three ships: my beloved leverage ot3 (parker/eliot/hardison), faramir/eowyn (not to copy puddleglumms, but god you’re so right!), and let’s go with Kitty/Ash (Shem’s OC from A hit, a very palpable hit my most reread P&P fic)

Last song: Umm, I was just on a 4hr car trip listening to my “reliving my emo phase” playlist so I think it was something by Fall Out Boy or All American Rejects

Last movie: I just watched the Uncharted movie this last week which imho was worth watching if only for the actor who played Sully... If you’re a die hard fan of the games it’s nowhere near as good, but it’s cute and if you (like me) ship Sully/Sam then there’s really good basis for that...

Currently reading: My current reads are North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell, and then several books for my Master’s thesis: the first three books of L.M. Montgomery’s Anne series (AoGG, AoA, AotI) and Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity

Currently watching: I’ve been rewatching The West Wing with my little sister for the millionth time over the past few months, but I’m also watching (like so many other people right now) The Last of Us which isn’t usually my type of media but god it’s so good!

Currently consuming: I have been drinking so much tea over the last couple weeks. I caught Covid and my throat was pretty much shot for awhile so peppermint tea? sign me up.

Currently craving: Butter Chicken and Naan I could make very bad decisions and order some, but then I have to rationalize spending that kind of money...

no-pressure tags: @lillytalons @artemesias-orchids @comfytaire @mermaeids @thatgirlnevershutsup @aowyn @bubblesmuff @vvendybird @hitheeprithee and anyone else who wants to do it! (just say i tagged you!)

[heygutlcssa]

darks, i remember the day you followed me Vividly because i was sitting in a dark auditorium and i literally could not believe it when i saw your url and i couldn’t stop smiling like an absolute idiot afterwards because i had been admiring you from afar and to have the honor of you as my mutual??? it was too much for me to handle. i kept looking down at my phone and grinning. and now we have like three different verses for jo and riff and i think about them daily. i love reading your messages and rambling to you about our muses and rereading our threads because i have such a love for your writing and characterization and everything you say honestly. i adore your passion for your muses. i’ve said before but i’ll say it again: you are The west side story expert. you have such a strong grasp the era and the psychology of these characters. you don’t just brush them off as something or other. you explore them. you build upon them. you make them into people i can absolutely be convinced exist. i thought i loved wss before but then you came along with all your information and headcanons and just your passion and now i’m writing a muse from it. my heart literally flip flops when i see you on the dash. i didn’t know that was possible! but then we became mutuals and it can. don’t know if anything from this ramble makes any sense at all but i need to gush about you every chance i have. 

FLEUR MY LOVE!

You flatter me, you honestly do. Truth be told I sat there for a long time just oogling your blog because of the love and care you gave to Johanna, let alone Sweeny Todd as a whole. I just fell more and more in love as I scrolled through your blog because Finally, someone else was doing what I wanted to do: look at the musical beyond the entertainment value. You took this musical and said " sure its a slasher musical, but look at its relevancy and how it treats specific aspects of characters and plot lines in relation to what still is going on today. It's more than a slasher, its relevant". I didn't know there was a whole history to the show. LEGIT THE LEVEL OF RESPECT i have for your writing is off the charts. I was blown away. I still am.

and I thought I'd take a chance because I'd gotten a lot of nos when I came to finding writing partners. I didn't think you'd follow me back because I was so enamored by your blog and like, i'm just little me. I got asked several times before to tone down the anti-american sentiments and frequent dashboard rambles about the era's rampant racism( and depicting racism within some of the muses on here), colonialism, and imperialism. i guess its hard to talk about poverty in fiction when so much of it is in real life.

much to my surprise you followed me back and man have i enjoyed the ride. You've stuck around for my hyperfixative rambles and I will always be here for yours because its just so much fun. I think that's what I love about our friendship and writing together most. We have fun! And I look forward to all of our adventures in the New Year, too :)

I'm so glad you came to join me in hell, too. Legit I will follow you anywhere. I'm so glad we're friends :)
