Note

I'm not sure if you already answered a similar question like this, but Do you think the twist boys watch porn/read dirty magazines? Which kind of Porn would they watch in your own opinion?

I don’t think we had this kind of question before, Anon! An ask about boys being boys lol As I was writing it, I realised that the majority of them would probably watch porn on their phones, which kind of makes sense, I guess. Yay technology!

Still, some of them kind of surprised me as I was thinking about this prompt… well, enjoy!

Riddle – oh not a chance. This boy probably wasn’t allowed to look at some paintings and sculptures because of boobs and peens. Which is kind or ridiculous because as a future doctor he did have a bunch of anatomy books… Anyways, if he sees anyone with a dirty magazine or catches someone watching porn, he will confiscate it. He also has no idea that pretty much everyone watches porn in his dorm…

Ace – yes, yes and yes. He used to steal his brother’s dirty magazines when he was younger, but nowadays he prefers to just watch porn on his phone. He has a couple of vids downloaded, but for the most part he is the type to jump from video to video while masturbating. He doesn’t watch anything too weird or kinky, but… these days he is into threesomes. Mostly because it’s the only way he could watch a boy getting fucked without fully committing to watching straight-up gay porn (he is still in denial). So yeah, two guys fucking, and a girl is somewhere around to help him cope.

Deuce – he’s an oldschool boy and likes magazines – he used to steal them back when he was a delinquent. He and his boys used to have such a huge stash of porn… Deuce still owns some magazines, but they’re at home under his bed – he didn’t bring anything to NRC. He was so sure that he would focus on studying so much that he wouldn’t have time to masturbate! Model students don’t jerk off anyway! Yeah, long story short, he started watching porn on his phone after enrolling lol He also watches pretty basic stuff. Anything with two people fucking will turn him on. Similarly to Ace though, he is a bit embarrassed to watch gay porn…

Trey – as things often are with Trey, he is more into this kind of stuff than he cares to admit. He didn’t watch porn all that often when he had more roommates, and he still doesn’t do it too often, but sometimes he wakes up earlier than everyone, goes to his kitchen and has 20-30 nice minutes to himself. He does watch gay porn, he learned pretty early on that other stuff just doesn’t work for him, and a lot of times he watches videos about oral stuff (big surprise I know). He tries to watch 80% vanilla 20% kinky stuff, because he knows that if he doesn’t pace himself he’ll only watch cursed shit.

Cater – Heartslabyul’s baron of porn. He knows so much about porn it’s insane. He has a lot of favourite creators, and he follows all of them from his alt account. He even supports some of them with donations from time to time! He also watches livestreams and participates in the chat. It feels very freeing to him. He also prefers gay porn, but still jerks off to girls too. But mostly when the girls are together and there are no guys involved. So yeah, lesbian porn. With some bdsm. Very light though. Oh, and he also listens to porny audio plays.

Leona – funny enough, I don’t think he watches anything. He just isn’t interested – if he wants to jerk off, he’d do it even without porn. He might even make fun of someone who needs porn for that, but he is just a meanie.

Ruggie – he has a porn stash of 30 y.o. magazines with beast chicks hidden somewhere in his room, and no one will ever find it! Savanaclaw is the most dangerous dorm when it comes to hiding porn. Ruggie is very protective over it. One would think that Ruggie wouldn’t read magazines, because hey, imagination is free, but he found these magazines when he was like 10 – they are his treasure.

Jack – he is a good boy, and I should probably say “no he doesn’t”, but yes he does. But he thinks of it as if it’s a treat, to congratulate himself for good results and such. He mostly watches beastmen-centric straight porn, but one time he accidentally clicked on a video of a huge wolf-man fucking a twink and Jack’s life kind of…changed… he watches a lot of this kind of stuff now, even though he is embarrassed by it…

Azul – he respects porn for being a huge industry that makes money on pathetic horny saps (wait until he learns how much individual content creators make), but he doesn’t consider himself a horny sap, so no thank you, he doesn’t watch porn. Unlike the tweels, he doesn’t even have any curiosity about it… yet? He’d probably enjoy power play and bondage stuff. If it wasn’t a waste of time for horny saps, that is!

Jade – this man has such a cursed search history. He wasn’t really interested in porn until he learned about some fucked-up kinks. He is truly fascinated by some videos, and sometimes it feels like he has a neverending quest to find the worst porn ever. He doesn’t jerk off or anything, he just watches it, but still feels very refreshed afterwards. He didn’t even think about putting this in that hole and then pushing this until that expands so much.

Floyd – he would say “yuck” to the majority of stuff that Jade watches, but he isn’t much better. Similarly to Ace, he clicks around when he masturbates, and sometimes ends up jerking off to something very fucked up. He would still go “yuck” after he cums, but while he’s in the process, he thinks that it’s the hottest shit ever. I don’t think Floyd has a favourite porn genre, he just hates anything that is boring or feels fake. He wants to be entertained!

Kalim – he doesn’t. Whenever he sees something porny, he gets very awkward, even if he is all alone and knows that no one would judge him for watching it. In a weird way, I think Kalim would prefer to watch something like this irl… so I guess his awkwardness from porn isn’t out of shyness then.

Jamil – extremely rarely. Sometimes he tells himself that he has two or three small tasks left, and then he’s free, so he could go to his room, watch some porn, jerk off and sleep. But then he feels so tired that he falls asleep immediately. And sometimes he’s not in the mood… and looking for something nice to watch is also a pain, because despite not being a very active porn watcher, he is bored with vanilla, but anything more exciting than that feels like it’s too much. He would enjoy something with powerplay though.

Vil – you know this thing called professional deformation? Vil suffers from it a lot. Of course, he isn’t a porn actor, but that doesn’t mean that he won’t judge their acting, won’t comment on weird cuts and won’t complain about the camerawork being shitty, about the production being overly expensive and yet very tacky and tasteless, and of course, about the dialogue being very cheesy. He just doesn’t like porn too much… but I think he would get turned on by erotica when it’s done well. There are some scenes in his favourite movies that turn him on every time. I guess Vil really needs to have a story behind and compelling character writing…

Rook – he doesn’t need to watch porn because when he closes his eyes, he sees a whole-ass theater of all kinds of pleasures before him. Rook’s imagination is insane, and he uses it very well. It’s very rare for him to jerk off to porn, but sometimes he looks at a picture of a person while imagining a certain scenario with that person… All of that doesn’t mean that Rook doesn’t watch porn. Unlike Vil, Rook sees beauty in these little imperfections, but they still stop him from getting turned on lol Unless he starts imagining that it’s him and his beloved in the setting doing it before his very eyes.

Epel – he probably caught a virus or two before… he watches porn a lot. Internet connection in NRC is much better than back home, so at first he used to spend all night watching porn under his blanket. He really loves it when a huge guy fucks someone, and when he’s feeling extra spicy, he watches stuff with multiple huge guys! He hasn’t deduced that he doesn’t necessarily picture himself as one of the guys just yet…

Idia – he also watches porn for the plot and for the art of it, and he almost never watches irl porn: only 2d and sometimes 3d babyyyyy. Otherwise he just cringes, especially if it’s cosplay porn or something like that. But doujins, eroge and hentai are comfortable, gorgeous looking (even when the art is kind of bad) and overall superior in every way. He mostly watches stuff on the internet but he has a big collection of smut downloaded and a lot of smutty books stacked everywhere. It’s ART, you just don’t get it!!

Ortho – he watches porn as we speak. In his head. He has access to so many sites and platforms now that Idia doesn’t have any way of monitoring what his AI does. Of course, as things always are with Ortho, he doesn’t necessarily do it to jerk off, he LEARNS! But he also ordered a couple of dirty magazines and doujins to have them hidden in his room (now that he has his own room!) to feel like a proper freshmen. These fuckers are horny, and Ortho wants to be the horny one too.

Lilia – he also caught a virus or two before lol He has a phase during which he watched a lot of porn, and it ended up being something similar to what Jade is doing, but then he kind of lost interest. He mostly watches bdsm stuff to jerk off these days… but he also loves all the fantasy/medieval-themed porn that spawned after the Game of Thrones! He mostly laughs at it though. And gets kind of nostalgic.

Silver – he doesn’t, but he did watch some porn with Lilia once. He gets unexpectedly shy when watching it… as if he’s looking at something he isn’t supposed to, despite Lilia telling him not to look away. It did turn him on, but at the same time he prefers to focus on his partner instead of looking somewhere else. He doesn’t watch it on his own because he doesn’t even think about these things.

Sebek – he doesn’t! And he gets pissed off when other first years (mostly Ace and Epel) talk about it so casually! He finds the whole thing obscene, unnecessary and brain-rotting. Ironically, despite being so horribly horny, he would have good resistance to porn. He doesn’t know these people and doesn’t care about their indecencies! Until someone tells him to imagine that it’s Malleus…

Malleus – he doesn’t have any magazines and doesn’t watch porn (he would find the idea kind of weird, he is too sophisticated for that), but he does have a favourite erotic novel that he used to read a lot. He has it somewhere back at home… but it’s okay, he doesn’t really need to have this book with him at all times – he remembers it very vividly, word to word. Unfortunately, this novel is more of an outlier – Malleus was kind of disappointed by the quality of every other smut book he got.

upd.

Rollo doesn’t watch porn, come on now. The only type of smut he experiences is the kind that his own mind plays in his head when he sleeps. And Rollo really wishes he could turn it off! But he can’t, so for now he’s just having weird wet dreams about faceless men in red cloaks judging him….

Fellow doesn’t really care about porn all that much because his life is already so full of sex, but he doesn’t necessarily have access to a lot of porn either. He used to flip through magazines with some hunks on them, but hasn’t done it in quite a while.

Gidel, however, loves his dirty magazines! I��ve said it in some other hc post: a magazine with beast-ladies in tiny bikinies is an ultimate gift for him. He steals those from shops, he takes the ones that are randomly abandoned at gas stations. Whenever they are lucky enough to stay at a motel with a tv, the first thing Gidel does is turning on the TV to see if there are porn channels available for free. He doesn’t even do anything while watching it, he’s just fascinated by smut. I guess it’s a phase… or is it?

Wick's Whump Drive - II

This is a commissioned piece for @whumpsday, who was kind enough to participate in my ongoing whump drive for Palestinian aid.

Want in? Donate $5/€5 or more to ANY Palestinian fundraiser, send me the receipt, and I'll write a custom whump drabble for you, too.

Prompt: "Vampire whump."

[ I asked Mill to rate how brutal they wanted their whump on a scale of one to ten. They were brave enough to reply "close to a 10" 😈 To say I lit up was an understatement. I went waaaaay over the word count for this one: 1,963 words. DD:DNE ]

---

TW: vampires and molten silver don't get along well :) vampire whumpee, lady whumper, suffocation from stress position, dislocated shoulders, gore, burns, mind break, SEVERE internal injuries. immortal or not, this man will never be the same.

In all three hundred and forty-seven years of his life, never had he fucked up this severely.

It had been over a human.

Yes, that was a laughable statement coming from him; of course it had been over a human. He had never been able to grow out of his softness for the things he should have viewed only as prey.

It put him and the coven at risk. He knew this. And yet... how do you wring out the part of you that still sees yourself in their eyes? How do you ignore it? When it came down to it, sometimes that tug of humanity in his chest couldn't let go.

She'd taught him this lesson before.

...It would just take until tonight for it finally to stick.

He was roused by the sound of a blade rasping against whetstone. The thick, heavy chains from which his arms hung had long since collapsed his ribcage. He took in a single shaky, shallow breath, the first he had in hours, and blearily opened his eyes.

The stone floor and walls were spinning. Darkness crept in at the edges, narrowing his view down to the three sets of legs approaching. Whumper, always in her finest, balanced on immaculate red heels that clicked with every step she took.

"Ease the chains, Alistair," she said. "He looks like he's had enough."

Whumpee closed his eyes in a flood of relief. Alistair, who had remained behind to watch him through this slow torture, grunted in assent. Then with a rush of clanging metal, the tension on his arms eased.

Air rushed into his lungs, along with stabbing bouts of pain all through his ribs and chest. His first true inhale came back out as a horrible, racking cough, spattering the tiles in front of him with foamy, pink fluid.

He sounded like a man drowning, because that's exactly what he was. His lungs were filled with fluid from the inflammation of the stress position. In order to get air in, he first had to get all of it out.

Every cough sent lances of pain through his core. Outward across his chest, deep and sharp into the sockets of both dislocated shoulders. It had been so long since he'd felt a pain such as this.

When he finally was able to inhale without coughing, he sagged in his restraints. Pink fluid trailed down his chin, dripping to the floor between his knees. His arms were still elevated near his shoulders, but with enough slack that he could finally move.

Not that it mattered. Whumpee wasn't going anywhere.

A soft, cool hand settled against his cheek, and immediately slumped into her touch.

While he didn't have the strength left to speak, he silently mouthed the words he so badly wanted to say. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Mistress. I didn't mean to— I'm so sorry.

"I know you are, dove." Her voice was smooth and cold as a balm. "You always are."

Another rasp of the whetstone, as Alstair continued sharpening his blade.

"But you've gone too far this time," she murmured. "You know that."

He tried to lift his eyes, to look at her, but his attention was called away by the others who had followed. Urlain and Samuel were recognizable from silhouette alone, gathered around the old coal-burning stove. Were those... welding gloves? His vision was still spinning, but—

"Have I lost your attention?"

The question made his stomach go cold. His eyes struggled upward to meet hers, able to summon the strength only by sheer will. The look she gave him still held an edge of amusement; he hadn't gone too far. Not yet. "Nn..." No, Mistress.

"Good. I would hate to have to repeat myself." Her hand fell from his cheek, and the loss of contact felt like heartbreak. She rose, and her heels ticked in a slow, poised circle around him. "We tracked down the girl you released. She'd almost made it back to her town by the time we caught up with her."

A distant, rippling scream echoed through the manor's corridors. One not of fear, but of agony. Whumpee's eyes widened with recognition before he could hold back the response.

He could hear the smile in her voice. "I believe that'll be her, now."

Whumpee wiped all emotion from his face, forcing his traitorous heart to still. It was that pull that had ended him in this place. He would not fall for it again.

"The others will have no trouble finding a use for her. After all, she'll be here for a while."

"B-ut..."

"Tell me, Whumpee. What have you taken from her?"

Whumpee felt his throat close, tears threatening behind his eyes. But he held them back and rasped out an answer, so quiet it was inaudible. "C'ln... dth..."

She grasped a handful of his hair, and wrenched his head back. "Louder."

He drew in a shaky breath, world spinning with vertigo. He swallowed once, twice, and forced himself to say those damning words. "...A clean death," he whispered.

After another moment of watching his face, she let him go again. "At least you know the words. Yet even after all these centuries, you still don't seem to grasp the meaning." Her heels slowed to a stop. There was, almost, an edge of regret in her voice. "I've never made you see the alternative. That was my mistake."

"Whumper... please—"

She whispered to him, so soft it wouldn't carry. "Even my favorite eventually runs out of chances." The words hung between them for a moment. Then she gathered herself, and lifted her head. "Urlain. Are we ready?"

"Yes, Mistress," she replied.

"Good. Alstair."

Alstair circled behind Whumpee. Then a knee shoved itself between his shoulder blades, knocking him forward to the ends of his chains.

Whumpee let out a shocked cry as the bones within his shoulders ground against one another, twisting even further out of place behind his back. It was a pain sharper than any other, and it only worsened as the seconds passed. The muscle and skin that kept them in place could be felt stretching, threatening to tear beneath Alstair's continued weight.

Alstair took another handful of his hair and wrenched his head back, baring Whumpee's throat. Whumpee opened his mouth to cry out. But before he could, something sharp and metal was forced past his teeth.

He felt it digging into the soft flesh behind his fangs. Recognition dawned a split second before the retainer was ratcheted open, the metal gag forcing his jaw open as wide as it would go. No matter how he tried, he couldn't dislodge it.

"Since you can't be trusted to feed like the rest of us, you'll have something else to fill your stomach."

When Whumper's silhouette once more came into view, Whumpee's eyes slid down to what was in her hands. Even his long-dead heart managed a single jolt when he saw what she held, and cries of alarm came pouring out of him as he thrashed in Alstair's hands, trying to back away.

A long pair of forged, iron tongs, within which rested a crucible of molten silver. It was aglow with heat, casting red-orange light back along the edges of Whumper's face.

Alstair tightened his grip, holding Whumpee still as she neared. The crucible was so close that he could feel the heat pouring off it. The air distorted with billows of heat, narrowing his entire world down to that one vessel.

"For your sake, I suggest you figure out how to swallow. You don't want this reaching your heart."

"NNNH- HH—"

She tipped the vessel over onto his tongue.

"AAAH!"

At first, the pain didn't even register. The moisture in his mouth turned to steam on contact, and the silver rushed across his tongue without ever touching flesh.

But when the metal met his throat, there was nowhere left for that heat to go.

The scream that exploded from Whumpee's throat splattered molten metal everywhere. It coated his lips and chin, spilling down the front of his chest.

She had known it would be coming, and Whumper stayed far enough away that not even a drop touched her clothing. But the crucible only kept pouring, and by the time it was spent there was no more air in Whumpee's lungs left to expell it.

White-hot agony crawled down his esophagus, burning holes in everything it touched. It pooled, heavy and tearing, into the core of his stomach where pain unlike any he'd ever imagined ripped at his insides.

It felt as though the fire were trying to tear its way out of him, because it was. Whumpee's world turned to ash, crumbling to darkness and uncontrollable, rippling agony. And still, still, he felt the moment when the steam and metal ruptured his stomach.

Silver and bile spilled into his abdominal cavity, skin distending as yet more steam built inside of him. He thrashed and clawed at his restraints. Every single instinct screamed at him to claw it out, GET IT OUT, even if it meant tearing open his own body to reach it. The sounds that came out of him were deafening and inhuman. Yet for all his hysterical strength, the chains held.

The pain built and built until that column of white-hot agony down his core was the only thing he could sense.

By the time the silver began eating its way back out through his abdominal wall, there was nothing of Whumpee's mind left. This pain wasn't something that could be lived through, even by him.

And yet he would.

He would.

That was the most damning punishment of all.

Metal split through the skin just below his belly button, hissing out through a blackened, yawning hole. The smell of soured, burning meat filled the entire room, making all but Whumper gag and cover their faces. Thick, slow rivulets of silver and gore trailed down his navel, hardening as they went.

Eventually the mindless, animal thrashing that overtook his body began to slow. To stiffen. The metal within him was cooling, solidifying into spikes of unyeilding armor inside of him. But even as the silver cooled, it continued, endlessly, to burn.

Above him, Whumper simply watched.

Whumpee's groans wheezed out into inaudible shudders of air as the minutes passed. What little of his vocal cords hadn't been destroyed by the heat were killed, perhaps permanently, by the sounds that had followed. Bloodshot, empty eyes stared thousands of miles beyond her where she crouched down before him. Every inch of him was shuddering like an earthquake, but something kept him from fainting.

"Leave us," she commanded the others.

The chains were tightened again. Alstair dropped the freshly sharpened knife to the tile and left it there, just far enough to remain hopelessly out of reach. He and the others then left them in silence.

She reached out to brush a strand of hair delicately from Whumpee's face, watching while he convulsed. She knew he wouldn't hear a word she said. And still, "It won't kill you, old friend. Not right away." Her voice remained soft, almost soothing. "If you manage to stave off the madness long enough, I'll hand you that knife. You can cut the metal back out of your body yourself."

A single droplet of silver flecked one of his fangs. She reached out, and released the gag from behind his teeth. His jaw hung open even after it was removed, locked in a silent, unending scream.

"The human will be staying with us until you heal. The others certainly won't run short on ways to keep her busy." One last, lingering touch to his face. Then Whumper stood, turning her back on him. "But when you are freed, you will be the one to finish what you started. It may not be a clean death, but it will be a merciful one."

well here's something I can do!

this is a little spin on an idea i've been seeing around that i think is wonderful... I personally, am not in the best financial place to be donating, but i can use my platform as a game developer to help out and do something cool at the same time :3

In exchange for donating esims to gaza, I'm gonna populate the world of Zephyr Star with your characters as NPCs! currently: OPEN!!

Here's the deal-- scurry on over to gazaesims.com to figure out how to buy and donate an esim to the people who need em-- any plan works for me, as long as you're gettin something out there!

then slip into my DMs (or anywhere else you can contact me directly) and show me a screenshot of the email, preferably with timestamps for proof that it's from after this post was posted... or really, any proof that you did do the thing-- also show me:

a reference image for what character you want me put in the game

what this character should say as an NPC (just a few lines at most) (optional; if you'd like i can just write some general dialogue instead)

how you would like to be credited in the in-game credits (ie what name i should put)

below the cut are some submission guidelines and extra notes, please also read that if you're interested :>

here are some general submission guidelines:

nothing too lewd, please!

or racist

or otherwise offensive

fandom ocs MIGHT be fine if they're Legally Distinct enough from the source material, but try not to get me sued here

In general, this game's world has No Humans, but that's not a strict requirement-- just a general suggestion

and keep in mind that characters with super intricate details might have to be simplified in order to work as pixel art

otherwise, anything works! furries, robots, sentient objects, your cat, whatever

and here's some notes, so you know what to expect:

i'll take anywhere between a few hours to a few days to finish, depends on how i'm feeling... either way, i'll tag you in a new post when i'm done!

the character will be done in small pixel art, with maybe some additional effects if i feel it works for the design

i will adjust the sprite size depending on the character-- an average sized character is drawn on a 32x32 canvas but if it's like a giant or really tall or something, i'd make it bigger so that the scale is accurate

everyone also gets a zoomed in headshot for the dialogue portrait

no secret bosses, shopkeepers, or other special story purpose for now, sorry! these are just some guys that stand around and say 1 or 2 lines as you go about your adventure

im putting the characters in various places at random, but if you want your guy to be in a certain type of location in-game let me know

this game is STILL in relatively early development-- but i do promise that each and every submission will be in there by the end! it might take yeaaaars for the full game to finally be out, but i'll be posting screenshots as I put em in the game so you know im not slacking around :>

and alongside the screenshot, i'll also post the sprites on their own if you'd like to save them for yourself

legal stuff uhhhhh im not good at legal stuff-- by participating, you are giving me permission to use your submitted character in the final game-- credit will be given in-game where you would expect to see it (the credits) and i will not claim ownership of any of your guys

(cartoon mafia boss voice) if at any point you want your character scrubbed out of the game, or you want anything changed, let me know in my DMs or anywhere else you can contact me and *click* *sinister laugh* we'll make it happen

no money goes to me ever, im not even gonna be the middlesnake between you and the esims-- i just think its less of a hassle to work this way -w-

did i get everything? i think that's everything... if i forgot something important sorry i'm a scatterbrain failgirl who has never done anything like this before im trying my best okay

may the rift be filled with your cool little guys! but more importantly, let's keep gaza connected! free palestine! 🍉

#free palestine #esims for gaza #game development #indiedev

tags: canon compliant, ending of divine tree arc, angst (ig), regret

(already written: 163) sponsored: 0/1500

fun little excerpt: So, he failed. He loves that kid. He loves that kid and he’s screwed up everything for him, digging from the roots and all: the brainwashing, the mocking, the insincerity, everything he stands for was everything he threw against Shigeo, and the inkling sensation of guilt was easy enough to ignore when Shigeo had gotten full of it and denied his very existence. Easy enough when Hanazawa had stormed in and carelessly flung energy around, easy enough when he just kept proving everyone right about him, perfectly fulfilling their lack of trust and unsavory impressions, their scowls and hatred. He’s used to it! He drank it up! Of course he could take Shigeo like this! Yeah, right.

things older and murker than love [holder title] — mob psycho 100, reigen & mob & hanazawa

synopsis: sometime post-canon, hanazawa walks into s&s with an unusual request: his apartment is haunted. that isn't quite right, but shigeo doesn't know how to tell him that the walls themselves are reaching out to haunt him. (he thinks hanazawa knows, anyway.)

tags: post-canon, in which the haunting is not a person but a place, found family, hopeful ending

(already written: 912) sponsored: 0/1500

fun little excerpt: "You would?" Hanazawa mumbles. The weakened awestruck tone sounds wrong in the office, rejected from every surface and bouncing around with nebulous intent. "I mean—thanks, Kageyama." To Reigen: "No, not like something's in them. It's like—ah, you wouldn't believe me." Reigen raises an eyebrow, the way he would to a particular difficult customer. Except Hanazawa isn't a customer and Reigen's gaze is softer, fond concern shaving away the rigidity of his confidence like a whetstone.

by the cliffside, left wanting — disco elysium, cuno & harry & kim

synopsis: EMPATHY [Godly: Success] — He doesn't have anyone in the world. (The boat not having room for three doesn't stop two detectives and a fledgling hope for change.) aka: cuno goes along with harry and kim for the ending sequence

tags: canon divergence, canon-typical violence, implied/referenced child abuse, slurs (cuno), found family

note: as this is cuno pov, this means there are swears/slurs in like every sentence. oh my beloved awful 13 year old son

(already written: 2642) sponsored: 0/1500

fun little excerpt (literally a swear word in every sentence): "What if I do join the pigs, huh?!" he screams, balling his hands into fists like a goddamn street fighter, and C's face turns three shades of purple like the people in those fucking snuff films she forces him to watch. "Cuno can do whatever the fuck he wants! If you're gonna hold the Cuno back, C, then Cuno's gonna ditch your sorry ass!" He can see the moment she processes each syllable and shoves that catacomb dream out of his old-ass creaky apartment window. Yeah. Cuno's not a stupid fuck. He knows he's in deep shit. He knows C will fucking shank him in his sleep, that type of shit. Then his fucking pig sets a dinky fucker alight and the old world's gone up in smoke.

an old world's haunts — your turn to die, joe &/ sara (one-sided most likely)

synopsis: in every world but this world, sara doesn't lose joe. she can't lose joe. she can't lose joe. (in which sara's utter ruthlessness in the simulations is explored)

tags: major character death (undone, but happens in every 'world' iteration), canon-typical violence (often enacted by sara), emotional manipulation, just. absolute cruelty to survive, the ai simulations.

(already written: 2828) sponsored: 0/1700

untitled canon-divergent au — mob psycho 100, reigen & mogami

synopsis: the world's greatest psychic of the 20th century meets the world's greatest psychic of the 21st century earlier than expected. Somehow, this makes all the difference. aka, in which 12 yo reigen forces mogami to take him in as an 'apprentice'

tags: for want of a nail, nobody is dead, being kind to ppl for fun and profit (it is not fun and there is minimal profit), redemption sort of, found family, non-linear narrative

(already written: 658) sponsored: 0/2000

fun little snippet: But the kid's face reminds him of his own teenage self on the reruns he's unfortunate enough to catch, far-removed from the skin of the drained, lying has-been he's currently wearing. The desire to be someone, to go out of his way to be better is altogether too familiar. Denying this kid now, no matter how pragmatic, feels like betraying the sense of self Keiji perhaps liked best. So he asks, "What's your name?" And makes a mistake.

some sort of remaking — persona 4, kanji/naoto/rise

synopsis: as valentine's day approaches, rise gets hit with the bright idea to teach naoto how to flirt so that they and kanji could finally get it together. that is... not exactly what happens

tags: developing relationship, getting together

(already written: 479) sponsored: 0/2000

fun little excerpt: "No, Naoto-kun, your line delivery's a bit—here, say it a bit slower and try smiling at the end, 'kay?" Naoto-kun, ever the fast learner, follows her instructions to the letter. Which is great, of course! Makes her job easier! Her heart's having a hard time in the face of their sincere smile, though. She didn't think a smile could shine outside of sets.

Happy New Year! That's the hope, anyway. It can be hard to see what's ahead of us, especially in the darker, colder months. The old year has died, it's life behind us, and we did the work we needed to in that time. But in this season of inner work, we discern what the work we'll do out in the world is going to be as the sun's light returns. We're choosing the seeds we're planting once the ground has thawed just enough to plant them. What's important to remember is that what we grow needs to sustain us. Just as important, we need to be able to sustain its growth. Whether it's a hearty wheat that we make into nourishing bread or a beautiful flower whose beauty and fragrance brings us joy or relaxation, whatever you grow should serve you as much as the people around you. (Remember that simply taking care of yourself so you can be well and your best 'you' has an impact on others, even though you might not be intentionally doing something for them.) When we're able to sustain its growth, we're likely to grow more, and when we grow more and have an abundance, we can much more easily share it with others.

I know this is perhaps more metaphorical than usual. These are the visuals I'm getting as I contemplate the rune for the reading. I wanna keep them in case it resonates with folks. However, if you're neurodivergence is of a flavor that doesn't process metaphors well (or you're just generally confused by it, which is valid), here's more directly what this means: We're not doing resolutions. We're doing goals. Goals that are achievable and sustainable. Goals that better our lives and the lives of others. Something that challenges us enough that we put effort into it, but not so challenging that we can't achieve it. If we can't see any progress in our efforts, it's all the more difficult to sustain momentum through the year. We need to be specific, but broad enough that we can expand it as we make progress.

For example, say you're goal is to fight for reproductive justice. Solid goal that helps everyone, even yourself (regardless of your gender). So what does that look like? Maybe you make a regular donation to Planned Parenthood, so the work for you is to keep a job that allows you to afford that. Maybe you get a promotion and make more money, so your donations increase. Or maybe your job gives you enough free time that you can volunteer with your local Planned Parenthood.

Or, perhaps your goal is building and participating in a community around a shared interested. First, look for what already exists. A lot of times the things we're looking for already exist and we don't need to go through the rig-a-ma-roll of creating a new thing. So get involved doing what that community is already doing. If you get there and find that something is off in that group, but you still want what they're offering, you can then start your own group - but now you have an idea of how to manage that kind of group (or not manage depending on your experience). Be realistic about how much time and energy you commit, adjusting as needed for whatever is going on in your life. Just maintain connection. Be there for people and let them be there for you.

There are just a few ideas. These don't have to be your exact goals. What matters most is that we choose things that allow us to show ourselves grace when we can't quite do it the way we hoped. That little steps towards progress are still progress and something positive, as opposed to not living up to an arbitrary standard we've set for ourselves (like a resolution) and then feeling discouraged and then giving up. Remember rest is a necessary part of growth, too. Make space for that as you choose your work for the year. We've got this. You've got this. Let's show 2025 what's up.

Books of 2024: July Wrap-Up.

This month, I picked my knitting back up with a vengeance, started a Three Sentences Writing Challenge, AND participated in several work-adjacent Social Events (who am I, even), On Top Of accidentally nerfing myself with several brick-like books, so! This little stack isn't half bad. Photos and/or reviews linked below:

ORDINARY MONSTERS - ★★ This was a miss for me, y'all, AND it was a brick, so it took a hot minute to read. I wanted it to be better than it was, but it rambled and wandered Too Much (which, coming from me, you KNOW is bad). Salty also-rambly 1.5k review linked.

IF FOUND, RETURN TO HELL - ★★★½ Way cuter than I was expecting!! I had a good time with the second person. Hugely relatable (which. wild. all things considered.).

THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE - ★★★½ Funnier than anticipated, and very readable for something out of the '50s! I see why it's a cornerstone of the (sub)genre. Glad I have a copy on hand now.

THE ACTOR AND THE TARGET - ★★★★★ This Rewired My Brain. It took me three (3) weeks to get through. It was so good. If you're a writer, definitely check this out, 10/10 recommend.

WHEN AMONG CROWS - ★★★½ I checked this out from the library because hardback novellas are Expensive if you're not sure you vibe with the author's style, but I had a good time! Witcher fans should descend on this, I think.

ALWAYS COMING HOME - 76*/618 pages read; will report back later. I asked the People about this one, and the People have Spoken (read: this won my What Do I Read Next Poll), but I may or may not have miscalcuated how many brain cells I have available lately between work and writing, so I may or may not be cutting this with library books. I'll finish it. Eventually. (*asterisk because she keeps referencing Other Pages In Line, and every time she does I jump ahead to read those pages instead and then come back to where I was. I'm dual wielding bookmarks through this tome, it's an Experience™ so far!)

Under the Cut: A Note About ~*★Stars★*~

Historically, I have been Very Bad™ about assigning things Star Ratings, because it's so Vibes Heavy for me and therefore Contingent Upon my Whims. I am refining this as I figure out my wrap up posts (epiphany of this month: I don't like that stars are Odd, because that makes three the midpoint and things are rarely so truly mid for me)(I have hacked my way around this with a ½). Here is, generally, how I conceptualize stars:

★ - This was Bad. I would actively recommend that you do NOT read this one, no redeeming qualities whatsoever, not worth the slog. Save Yourself, It's Too Late For Me. Book goes in the garbage (donate bin).

★★ - This was Not Good. I would not recommend it, but it wasn't a total waste or wash--something in here held my interest/kept my attention/sparked some joy. I will not be rereading this ever. Save Yourself (Or Join Me In Suffering, That Seems Like A Cool Bonding Activity).

★★★ - This was Good/Fine/Okay/Meh. I don't care about this enough to recommend it one way or another. Perfectly serviceable book, held my interest, I probably enjoyed myself (or at least didn't actively loathe the reading). I don't have especially strong feelings. You probably don't need to save yourself from this one--if it sounds like your jam, give it a shot! Just didn't resonate with me particularly powerfully. I probably won't reread this unless I'm after something in particular.

★★★½ - I liked this! I'll probably recommend it if I know it matches someone's vibes or specific requests, but I didn't commit to a star rating on Goodreads. More likely to reread, but not guaranteed.

★★★★ - I really enjoyed this!! I would recommend it (sometimes with caveats about content warnings or such--I tend to like weird fucked up funny shit, and I don't have many hard readerly NO's). Not a perfect book for me by any means, but Very Good. This is something I would reread! Join me!!

★★★★★ - I LOVED THE SHIT OUT OF THIS, IT REWIRED MY BRAIN, WILL RECOMMEND TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE AT THE SLIGHTEST PROVOCATION (content warning caveats still apply--see 4-star disclaimer). Excellent book, I'll reread it regularly, I'll buy copies for all my friends, I'll try to convince all of Booklr to read it, PLEASE join me!!

#books of 2024 #books of 2024: july wrap-up #ordinary monsters #jm miro #if found return to hell #em x liu #the haunting of hill house #shirley jackson #the actor and the target #declan donnellan #when among crows #veronica roth #always coming home #ursula k. le guin #ezloved do you see how i've hacked my stars :)#take THAT threes!!#also the Brick Books Here were: 1. monsters 2. actor/target and 3. le guin #AND TWO OF THOSE REQUIRE SO MANY BRAIN CELLS HOLY SHIT #i don't even know how to read the le guin so i'm checking out her referenced page numbers as she references them #it's slow it's chewing i think that's the Point #i probably need a separate bed time read but i haven't been doing much reading not during bedtime so....#i know i posted a picture of GHOST STATION a few days ago but i haven't started it yet (oops)#(i accidentally made myself a hell of a week i'm so tired lol)

Lost in the Book with Stitch part 22

Disclaimer: This is a fan translation. I apologize for any mistakes. I’m by no means fluent in Japanese, but I try my best. Please, support the official translation when it comes out. Be kind and friendly, and feel free to support me by donating a ko-fi if you’d like. Link is in my description!

Uninhabited Island - Beach

Riddle: “I didn’t think you were really preparing for a campfire…”

Riddle: “When did you collect so many new pieces? Floyd.”

Ace: “I thought I’d be the one to do it. Yesterday’s Floyd-senpai was super excited.”

Jack: “I figured you’d be fed up with this.”

Azul: “He doesn’t give up until he achieves something he doesn’t care about…”

Floyd: “I once saw people make a fire on the beach, and thought I should try it once~.”

Floyd: “Everyone’s sitting around the fire talking. It’s really exciting, isn’t it?”

Lilia: “Not only did you make a wonderful home, but you also had a bonfire ready!”

Lilia: “Sit on a sandy beach where the warmth of the sun remains, listen to the beautiful sound of the waves, and watch the fire…”

Floyd: “This fruit is also delicious. I thought I wouldn't be full with just fruit, but I'm surprisingly satisfied.”

Lilia: “Uh-huh, keep eating. If it’s not enough, I can go pick more.”

Riddle: “Stitch also ate fruits. I wondered what he would do if his eating habits were different from ours.”

Jack: “Being sent to a uninhabited island, I thought it would be a dangerous situation, but it unexpectedly worked out somehow.”

Lilia: “Yeah. There's water and food. It is an island so rich that I find it strange that there are no people here.”

Floyd: “It’s going a little too well, and it’s starting to get boring for me.”

Floyd: “I wonder if there will be more excitement.”

Stitch: !

Ace: “Hm? Stitch, what are you making this time? It’s a small wooden box with thread…”

Floyd: “Oh, I see. It’s a ukulele, right?”

Azul: “It’s true. It’s a simple one, but it sounds like a stringed instrument.”

Stitch:♪

Jack: “You can even play an instrument…you’re really versatile.”

Floyd: “Great~! You even know what music is perfect for bonfires.”

Floyd: “Another ukulele? You want me to play, too?”

Floyd: “Okay. I feel good right now, so I’ll play it.”

Floyd: “Hm. What kind of song should I play?”

Floyd: “I’ve decided.”

Floyd: : ♪

Ace: “I can’t believe Floyd-senpai is playing…it’s so relaxing and beautiful~.”

Lilia: “Hmph. The Pop Music Club’s thunder is stolen.”

Lilia: “Still, I’ll dance to this wonderful music!”

Riddle: “Lilia-senpai puts his hand on his waist, and is dancing around... fufu, looks like he’s having a lot of fun.”

Jack: “It's a dance I've never seen before, but it goes well with the music.”

Lilia: “This is a dance is passed down in the Southern Islands. What do you think?”

Grim: “Nyahaha, I’m dancing, too!”

Grim: “Come on, Yuu and Ace, hurry up.”

Ace: “Huh, oh? No, I don’t think this kind of thing…”

Floyd: “Hmm. Are you trying to say that you can't dance when I play?”

Ace: “I suddenly want to dance!”

Ace: “…Well then. Come on, Yuu, let’s go.”

Yuu:

“Leave it to me!”

Ace: “Huh? Your dancing is surprisingly intense…!”

Floyd: “Ahaha! That’s good, that’s good! Why don’t you swing your arms more?”

“I’m not confident.”

Ace: “I’d be embarrassed if I was fidgeting! This is exciting, exciting.”

Floyd: “What are you afraid of? Shrimpy-chan, you haven't forgotten about the log-collecting punishment game, have you?”

Floyd: “Until I say it’s okay, Baby seal-chan will keep on dancing.”

Ace: “Hey. Get up and dance, Jack.”

Jack: “Hah? I’m good. It’s not a gala…”

Ace: “Oh, are you not confident? It certainly seems that you feel bad about the tempo.”

Jack: “Hah, what? If you say so, let me show you my dance!”

Grim: “It’s simple…”

Grim: “Well then, I'll judge which one is better.”

Ace: “That’s funny. Come on, Jack, get serious. Yuu is also forced to participate!”

Lilia: “Oho. Instead of staring, why don’t Azul and Riddle dance, too.”

Riddle: “M-Me too? I have no experience with this kind of casual dance.”

Azul: “I also practice properly before dancing...”

Lilia: “It’s fine, it’s fine. This kind of thing is exciting.”

Azul: “Woah, don’t pull on my arm! I can’t dance even if I’m suddenly told to!”

Lilia: “Don't worry. Just let the music take over and let your body move freely.”

Azul: “Even if you say that…my legs are tangled.”

Riddle: “Everyone is dancing happily. Fufu, it's bad manners to sit down when everyone is dancing excitingly.”

Riddle: “Azul, let's dance, too.Even if you mess up, I'll lead you so you can rest easy.”

Azul: “Riddle-san... With such jerky and awkward movements, I can say that you will lead with full confidence.”

Riddle: “I just don't remember this strange dance! I'll learn it soon.”

Azul: “It has become ridiculous to hesitate.Let's dance, too.”

Azul: “I'm not very familiar with this dance…but, at least I think I have a better sense of rhythm than Riddle-san.”

Floyd: “Everyone is doing so good. Let’s raise the tempo! Go ahead, Stitch.”

Stitch: “ROCK ’N ROLL!”

To be continued…

There is no normal to return to.

I'm going to return to normal, or as normal as I usually am on this blog. But that won't stop me from talking about this. I have quite a few reblogs and posts queued up to give some important thoughts I had while I was away in regards to... my usual content. But I also still have plenty of posts about Palestine and the ongoing situation, and I'll be doing everything I can to stagger updates on the funny haha block man stuff, and the actually serious stuff.

If there's another strike called for, I will likely participate in it. Maybe this means my content will be inconsistent and kinda... bursty I guess? But I'll take the hit to my usual stuff and just spend more time on it if I have to. I had fun over the winter break, but life is picking back up anyways. I'm not really returning to normal, I'm shifting to a new normal. And talking about this conflict and the ongoing situation will become part of this new normal for as long as it has to.

I was honored to see the kind of reach my words could have, and I appreciated the amount of people who engaged with my content for possibly the first and last time. Depends on if I have more wildly intense thesis' about the situation to share (I probably will). There's always a part of me that wants to resist "getting too political" but then I remember I'm a dyed hair multi pronouned genderfuck with revolutionary ideas like "people should just get to live their lives however they want without the threat of violence, oppression, or actual genocide." Just some crazy wokeist ideology that totally doesn't bleed out from my creative works at all.

Because my experiences with fiction and the real world don't influence each other at all. Not even a little.

I've had quite a few social media accounts become pretty politicized or even start that way unintentionally, mostly because I started social media accounts centered around art. And all art is political. All art is personal. All art is influenced by politics and by people. That's how art always has and always will exist. So I really shouldn't be surprised this would happen when I got onto Tumblr.

I don't mean to suddenly bear my soul and go on some vague esoteric rant about my state of existence in a system of systems designed to harm me placed onto one of many infinite planets capable of creating life in our ever expansive universe, but that's just how I am. That's just how humans are. My spaces are always going to become political because I as a person am politicized. Our world is politicized. We are politicized from the moment of our inception. From the moment that someone becomes aware of our life the decisions made about it are endlessly wrapped up in the collective of politics even if we are but one measly part of that greater or worse collective.

Even something as seemingly unimportant as Minecraft Roleplays are deeply personal and political pieces of art and unique life shaping experiences. Never let someone tell you that you're being "too political" because in our endlessly politicized world, that's like telling someone that they're being "too human". It's not annoying to care. It's not too political to care.

TLDR: Art is political, everything is political, and even if you plan on "returning to normal", know that you should instead adjust what you define as "normal" to include pertinent issues and be ready to adapt to it. People want you to believe that disruptions won't work, but money and numbers talk. Disruptions to core systems of the western society work. Never underestimate that. Maybe you couldn't do a lot for this one, but keep your eyes out for the next one. Set aside a few bucks to donate. Read some of the reports about the ongoing conflict from ethical sources unafraid to speak to the real atrocities. Even little things can add up.

#text post #palestine #strike for palestine #save palestine #ramblings #I never know how to tag #these posts #idk I just say words #and I hope you read and understand them #and I don't lose sleep over whether people do or don't #politics #world politics

as we all know, doyoung get chosen as prosperity burger brand ambassador next year (afaik, the burger only available until 24th jan) and the twitter reaction is so.. harsh. i get the sentiment bc mcdonalds has been listed to the boycott list but ppl has been calling him 'names' and purposely using this as the gotcha moment to hate him instead of spreading more awareness abt the boycott. i feel disappointed with him too but knowing he loves the burger so much and the deal has been made since months ago.. idk how to feel. i still want to support him but it will seen like i'm defending him (while in fact, i dont). what do u think about this? i need to talk with someone with rational thinking process so i can sort things out ;-; tysm

Urgh, I wanted to avoid this topic, but you asked so nicely...

Brace yourself to wait out the unleash of anti-comments Doyoung is getting. Antis are using the opportunity, and many fans are confused, shaken by emotions. It will be OK, it will pass soon enough.

McDac's promotion is aimed at SK and it is a charity. Doyoung donated 50mln won for children around Christmas. He participated in the ad for charity as well. Doubting him or blaming him speaks more about a fan's weak sense of morale and integrity than his. These advertisement companies are planned beforehand, moreover, they are created by absolutely different people in different parts of the world. US branch of MD and Korean branch of MD are not the same. Local businessmen buy the right to use the brand name, it's a franchise.

Korea is Korea, it's a country half-globe away from the conflict in question. K-pop has nothing to do with it. There are multiple conflicts and disasters all over the world that happen at the same time. However, people pay attention mostly only to those that are covered by the media. I haven't seen any k-pop fan talking about Armenia-Azerbaijan (and Armenian people experienced a genocide in the past), zero talks about what happens in Haiti, and it's been ages since I saw mention of Ukraine. And Russia-Ukraine war continues with thousands of people being killed on both sides. And it won't stop as long as Putin is in power. Noone is cancelling him in the fandom, for some reason. US is abuzz about the migrant crisis, but the rest of the world is blissfully unaware. How many people die in those jungles?

I can give you an example of fans only following the guidance of a laser pointer. You should be aware of regular "controversies" over t-shirts, headwear, hair styles, stage design. Doyoung was given a shirt with themes of Moscow (the cathedral) and Orthodoxy (Mary with Jesus, they way it is portrayed on Russian icons). Has anyone sounded concerns that Russia is on the black list, that Doyoung is a non-Orthodox Christian, that using religious imagery for fashion on a "see-thorough" shirt can be offensive for believers/cultural appropriation? (Russia has laws nowadays, plays like "Jesus Christ Superstar" can't be played). Or that such tattoos are actually prison culture, like with yakuza? Noone batted an eye. And rightfully so, because it's just a silly shirt from a fashion collection.

4. I understand fans want to do good, but what they are doing is mostly virtue-signalling. Their online actions don't help.

When Russia attacked Ukraine many companies left Russia. Either on their own or being pressured to do so. The results:

Common people lost their secure jobs with good salaries. Companies like IKEA brought with them their corporate culture of taking care of their employees, what can't be said about Russian workplaces. Russia is a very hard market to enter due to local corruption and no real protection by law. I know IKEA spent like 10 years to do so. The fruits of labour of those middle level executives were just scratched off like that.

The foreign companies were either seized or sold cheaply to Putin's cronies. As a result, he gained more of their support, because he gave them "feudal lands", conpensated for their losses due to the war and sanctions.

The state started propaganda "domestic replacement" campaign (to calm down the people, "we don't need the West or anybody!"). Money were given to any shady bussenesmen who promised to invent "Russian alternative". In reality, those money were taken and no product developed. Or a label with a Russian company name plastered on a Chinese product like a tractor. Again, another scheme for people in power, from "the elite", to fill their pockets with money and to not mind the war started by Putin.

Apple, Coca-Cola and other products are still present in the shops. They are just imported/smuggled via neighbouring countries and sold for higher price. Commoners suffer because of the prices, businessmen and the brands stay OK. And taxes still go to the state.

Many freelancers and artists either lost completely the opportunity to earn money with their craft or needed a long time to readjust and are earning less. There is little demand for art on the domestic market, so the artists need other countries. PayPal left the country, so no Etsy for them. No direct payments thorough Visa/Mastercard as they don't work with Russians banks anymore either. My own shop were I was selling my watercolours was closed by Etsy. I have to ask foreign friends to get money for me or buy me bus tickets as I can't use Wise or Paypal or WesterUnion. Politicians and businessmen? They are doing just fine. They simply opened accounts for a high price (like two montly salary of a commoner) in neighouring countries and use those credit cards. I can't shift to working for foreign publishing companies and not paying taxes to my government because I don't have a credit card to receive payment. I earn twice as less due to currency exchange as well.

In the end. Yes, Russian commoners suffer. The regime doesn't. We are talking oil, gas and natural resourses like minerals. Russia is still paid loads of money for them. Those companies leaving Russia did nothing to help to stop the war. The majority of people haven't even used those companies living far away from the capital in poverty to begin with. McDac is for spoiled brats in Moscow, not for workers on factories.

People feel a negative emotion and want a quick and easy solution to it. If I donate following this demanding action ad, I will help. If I re-twit this black list, I will do something for the good.

It doesn't work like that. There is no easy A to B. It's a giant multilayered problem, and more often than not you are being used in an informational war by one side or the other. Hamas terrorists steal the trucks with foreign aid for themselves. And who knows how many fake donation schemes there are. Israel won't listen to the opinion of college students because it's a question of survival as a country for them. The wars in the Middle East won't end as long as their is oil and gas. McDac will lose some money now in one country and earn them back in another by lowering the quality of its products or the conditions for cows raised for burgers or the salaries of its workers in developing countries.

If you really want to do good. Do it in your neighbourhood. And do it smartly, after a thorough reserch. And in the area you want, and not what others pressure you to do. This way you can both control how your contribution is used and see the positive results with your own eyes.

And the cheapest way to do some good? Is to stop being the source of negativity and to stop judging and cancelling other people.

A Reflection on the Pro Palestine Encampment in Pittsburgh

Over the past few days I've been spending a lot of time at the encampment in Pittsburgh PA. And if y'all would humor me I've had a lot of thoughts floating around in my mind and I wanted to write down my experience.

I'm not super involved in political activism in general. I find it exhausting to think about how terrible things are and for my own mental health I tend not to look at the news too much. I had heard that some universities had started encampments. but it wasn't until Friday I learned there was one a bus ride away from where I lived. On Friday I woke to a text from a friend that said "hey there's a rally for Palestine here, you should come if you can they need bodies."

While I am not such a fan of talking the talk super loudly. I am absolutely a fan of doing. So I went and bought snacks and Gatorade and hopped on a bus. When I got there I was surprised to see a snack tent FULL of donations. I saw people who had been there for days and some people who got off the bus when I did.

I didn't anticipate an Encampment, All I heard was rally, but after the rally, and after the march I stayed as long as I could. I heard that the mayor's office sanctioned it till Monday. Then I went home fed my cats and played video games.

Saturday I came back. This time I brought a large bag of painting supplies, a sketchbook and a reading book. I didn't know that there actually activities planned for the day. I came in and there was a group of 15 or so people mending and had sewing in the middle of camp. I sat down next to them and began to paint.

Over the next few hours as I painted. I painted the encampment. people came and went. News crews came and went, each with a camp warning to put on masks if you didn't want to be identified. And different professors came and lead discussions. Some on topics I understood. Some that truly enlightenment me and changed my thinking. There were counter protestors but they were peaceful, and the organizers made sure of it to.

When I finished the painting I gave it to the organizers and they asked if they could auction it off for fundraising. I said yes. I don't know if that's what will happen. I hope it is, but even if it's not, it's in the hands of the people who built what I painted. They deserve it more than anyone.

After the last of the lectures and chants and sing-a longs. I went home. I sat on my couch in silence for what must have been an hour or two. But my mind was not silent, I listened to the music of their chanting, the wind in the trees, the desperation in their voices, it rang in my ears even as I went to sleep.

Sunday (today) When I got to the camp the sun was high in the sky and people were frantically moving tarps to make shade and getting ice and water. I had come with my art supplies again but today I did not use them. Today I helped the camp function. I participated in discussions. I made shade. I asked organizers how I could be of use.

When the rally and the march came the 30 some people who were there when I arrived had turned into over 100. maybe even 300. I'm not sure. The police blocked off the block and stood at the ready. We heard speeches from Palestinians, from Jewish students, from Organizers with no affiliation at all. And the diversity of the crowd... age, race, religion. I have never seen a greater rainbow of humanity in my life.

Part way through the march I went back to camp to drink water. I put myself to work with the other 10 or so people left to guard it. we organized the food and medical tents. we ran water out to the marchers. we got dinner from a donors car and brought it in.

When I left to go home they were still out there, a hundred strong standing and chanting in front of the cathedral of learning. mind you, 2 hours had passed since the rally had begun.

I was home 10 minutes when I heard the riot police had shown up.

I thought to earlier in the day. There had been a seminar on what to do if you get arrested. I was only half paying attention during it. I remember talking to the person next to me. we both planned to leave our phones and water bottle at camp, but even so, we doubted we would get arrested. I wonder if she's okay right now.

I walked to the grocery store, I brought my headphones but I didn't use them. My head was still filled with the noise, the chanting, the crying, the desperation. but also the joy, the love, the hope. I see the university students strong and hardened in their stance. I see the professors and older community members crying with pride and pain, knowing what comes next. A hundred painting I could make fill my head. I listened the music of the wind in the trees as I saw the Cathedral of Learning standing tall in the distance. A beacon of contradiction.

Disclose. Divest. We will not Stop we will not Rest.

From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free.

From the Sea to the River, Palestine will Live Forever.

I hope they're ok.

I hope they will all, be okay,

petty rant about the state of discourse around USA politics under the cut. I'm pretty sure this is a hot take so I'm prepared to delete later

this is very niche and petty but USA online leftists who think voting is bad and that if you can't find the most morally pure candidate that aligns with all of your values you shouldn't vote, or that voting is a waste of time and we should all just mutual aid and revolution more instead just seem incredibly short-sighted and terminally online to boot.

what mutual aid and revolution, I ask you??? Is it here in the room with us??? hate to break it to y'all, but the people who are actually out there volunteering or doing charity drives or whatever are mostly conservative christian grandmas and *gasp* the dreaded libs, at least from my experience in the northeastern USA. vermont, where my extended family lives, flooded this summer and guess who was out there wearing PPE and helping people recover their stuff, clean up, and distribute supplies?? my TERF ass mother and a bunch of other older white ladies. I'm sure there were other groups doing it too, but you know who wasn't out there?? my terminally online leftist cousin, who also lived in vermont but would rather post angry stuff that makes them look clever and cool all day than doing something boring like hand out essentials to people who had their homes destroyed by climate change.

also, an actual revolution would most likely just kill a lot of people and make the material conditions in this country worse, at least in the short term. y'all just sit inside and tweet and post discourse and be mad online and then get mad at other people for spending a few hours voting to try and at least stave off full blown authoritarian fascism in this country for another few years. you don't know that they aren't also organized in other ways. you are getting mad about something that takes less than one day every two years.

not to mention, the vast majority of your country is not nearly as left wing as you are. a third of americans are Christian nationalists or Christian nationalist sympathizers and that's about as right wing as it gets. you are living in an online bubble.

Idk what kind of history education y'all got, but the USA has been a warmongering genocidal shitstain for pretty much its entire history. not that what's currently happening isn't incredibly awful, inhumane, and disgusting. It absolutely is and we should try to do everything we can to help, including donating, boosting, protesting, and harassing the hell out of your representatives.. But this is far from the first time the USA has participated in and funded horrific acts of cruelty. and no, I am not saying "vote blue no matter who". especially when it comes to local elections, do a bit of fucking research and voting could actually affect your life for the better.

it's just frustrating when I feel like people can't have any nuance about this. voting is harm reduction, not moral posturing. even when I vote for obscure local candidates or for a third party candidate I usually disagree with them on at least one major issue. this is a problem that comes up with representative governments (and also the diversity of human opinion, to be quite frank. I promise you agree with your progressive friends on fewer issues than you think), but that's what we've got so maybe it'd be more productive for everyone if you stopped throwing a hissy fit about it.
