#IM GOING TO FUCKING THROW UP

[heyimboredtalktome]

suffice it to say i can never watch ofmd again without feeling like im going to throw up lol

here's the fucking letter

nothing about a ceasefire, nothing about the 5000 palestinians killed, almost 50% of whom are children, the carpet bombing, nothing about the 150,000 palestinians killed since 2008 out of which 30,000 were children, nothing about the surveillance, apartheid, dispossesion, racism, rape, murder and ethnic cleansing that the palestinians have been subjected to for decades by their beloved genocidal regime israel, also the FUCKING LIE ABOUT THE BEHEADED BABIES that even biden himself admitted that he hadn't actually seen which pretty much assures you that it's a lie because if there was such a thing you can be assured that it would be plastered 24/7 on cnn bbc because obviously war crimes committed by the hamas are somehow much more illegal than the war crimes committed by israel because the palestinians are inherently "HUMAN ANIMALS" and must be dealth with as such. they're basically saying "thank for giving israel full freedom to commit genocide and war crimes ❤️"

sorry that I haven't said anything about the new MITM revival, I have a discord where I essentially screamed and cried for three days straight about it and I'm finally calming down

〆 —  @eueclid  ,    ❝ merlin.  ❞ the strength in her voice somewhat surprises her, but she knows she needs to act this way if she's going to look as unsuspicious as possible walking of with a male servant. her heart pounds in her chest and she masks her smile the best she can as he looks back at her, and alice acts as if her mothing is watching. that should help. ❝ there's something quite large that needs moving in my quarters. will you come help?  ❞ which was code for, i want to steal you away for a couple minutes.

                    tedious tasks were endured by allowing his mind to climb into the clouds. despite how many hardships were thrown at him by other members of this house, he shrugged them off with the simple thoughts of how his days will end ... in the arms of one who sees him more clearly than anyone else. the undivided joy, affection & intimacy opened his eyes, heart & soul to desires he never thought possible. however, it meant he had to persevere through brutal chores & extreme amounts of prejudice. she was worth every sour second.

                    his blank face stared ahead, hands working deftly without him even watching to fold linen alongside other servants. then, he was snatched from his trance by a familiar voice using an unfamiliar tone. merlin bit back any urges to smile, swallowing down his reaction to fake formalities. he turned his body sharply, obeying her call for him before staring directly into her eyes. she was beautiful, she was too beautiful for him. merlin still couldn't believe how she chose him amongst anyone else. it took everything he had to stay composed. ❝ your highness?  ❞ he responds, watching with anticipation as he awaits her slyly planned excuse. another battle with his composure before he clears his throat & nods. ❝ of course.  ❞ he bows his head, immediately stepping away from the task & following closely behind her. leaning in to whisper, he lets out a stifled smirk. ❝ smooth as always, but didn't you use that excuse last week?  ❞ a beat. ❝ your high & mighty voice is very attractive, by the way.  ❞

ID. Intercut excerpts of Baru Cormorant books and images and excerpts from the Wikipedia page for Cormorant fishing.

Baru:

In Falcrest, in the Metademe, they condition prisoners just so: permit escape. Offer a rescuer, a collaborator. Slip a key in with the food. Let them come close to freedom, let them feel real triumph-they would not let me this far! This is the crux: give them the taste of victory, the certainty that this cannot be part of the game. And then snatch it away. The collaborator betrays them. The key will not open the outermost door. With enough repetition, most prisoners learn to ignore a key, an open door, a whisper to run. Led out onto the street, they will wait to be returned to their cells. After a time, they begin to teach new prisoners the same.

Wiki: Cormorant fishing is a traditional fishing technique in which fishermen use trained cormorants to catch fish in rivers.

Baru:

"That's real," she tells the Oriati girl. "Only that. Duty? Law? The men who control you don't have any duties. The men who control you don't obey any laws. The act. THen they tell you that it's your duty to obey."

Image: Photo of a man in a boat wearing a broad-brimmed conical hat, with cormorants perched all over the boat and a long pole he is holding in both hands.

Baru:

"But you're not part of the true Throne." "The true Throne?" Baru snapped, dangerously. "Am I false, somehow?" "You are a foreigner. Xate Yawa is a foreigner. Apparitor is a foreigner. Do you really believe the real Throne would have so many foreign- born members? Do you really think it would have so many women?" Her eyes lingered on Baru as if marking the differences between them, at once dismissive and intensely domineering. "You didn't think it was coincidence they sent three foreign-born agents on this expedition, did you? And no one born Falcresti at all?"

Wiki: To control the birds, the fishermen tie a loose snare near the base of the bird's throat. The snare does not stop the bird from swallowing small fish, but prevents the bird from swallowing larger fish, which are held temporarily in their gullet.

Baru:

Tain Shir spoke in Maia Urun, the ancestral tongue of Baru's home; spoke as if she could taste Baru's thoughts. “Farrier is your secret master, for his mastery is secret from you. He has concealed it within your pride. He has dominated you through your conviction that you secretly resist him. There is no difference between pretending to obey Farrier and committing yourself utterly to his control."

Wiki: When a cormorant has caught a fish in its throat, the fisherman brings the bird back to the boat and has it regurgitate the fish.

Baru:

"So I am his model. A wild-type islander girl taught to govern herself perfectly. Taught to obey Falcrest no matter how terribly she wants to resist. Taught to deny herself the companionship and compassion she requires. I am his proof to Renascent that his method triumphs over Hesychast's eugenics. I am the one who will always obey, because I can always rationalize my obedience as my own will." In Urunoki, Baru gasped: "I am his weapon."

Image: A traditional Japanese woodblock print, captioned, "Viewing of cormorant fishing as an amusement (a woodblock print of Utagawa Kunisada, 1852)"

Baru:

"I know them all, there aren't any others—" Shir laughed like a jackal. "You think you know every cryptarch? There are more of them in Falcrest. There are many cells." "No," Barhu insisted, "there were many cells once, before the Throne was purged and rebuilt, and now there is only one—” "Wrong. They needed you to do provincial work, out here on the Empire's frontier. So they gave you a provincial's knowledge of the truth."

Wiki: Photo of a man grasping a cormorant by the back of its neck, a large fish falling from its mouth.

Baru:

"When the mask came to Taranoke, they said all the same things. New markets. Better trade. All you're offering is more of the same, Baru. More gears and levers to add to the same engine that ground us up. Maybe we get a lever to pull for our own benefit. Fine. But what about the people in this new market you're opening, in western Oria? What will they get? Pox and flu and civil war? A chance to be worked to death in yards and plantations?" She shook her head. "Water flows downhill, child. Pouring more water won't change that." "With enough time, water changes the shape of the river, ma." "Well," Pinion grumbled, "it still flows downhill."

Wiki: Traditionally practised for sustenance, cormorant fishing is now primarily performed for tourists.

Baru:

"You're walking a very dangerous road. You've built an engine to give you immense power. But you've also given Falcrest the chance to capture that engine. They will remake the whole Mbo in their mutilated image if they can."

End ID.

There is a difference between acting out their story, and truly obeying their story. Do you know what it is?

ok i finally get why everyone fucking loves law it's cause every time the straw hats do literally anything they cut back to him making this EXACT face

[starry-bi-sky]

on a completely separate note; shizun luo binghe with a disciple shen yuan who fell into the abyss??? *thinks about LBH canonically stealing SQQ's corpse for 5 years* he'd hallucinate i think. like, like visual and audial hallucinations.

Keeps thinking he's seeing SQQ in the corner of his eyes, or wandering between the trees, amongst a group of disciples. Thinks he hears him calling for him, but its just the wind or another disciple.

Gets Xiu Ya reforged but patently fucking refuses to make a sword mound. Because his disciple Is Not Dead :))) There was No Body. He's Not Dead. And If You keep Insisting That He Is, He's Gonna Skewer You :). He's holding onto Xiu Ya so he can return his most favored disciple's sword when he returns. It's on his hip right next to Zheng Yang where it's supposed to be.

Also this motherfucker?? does not sleep btw. He has the image of SQQ, wide eyed and hysterical and standing at the mouth of the abyss burned into his fucking eyelids. Can't use the dreamscape to escape it either because he keeps trying to save him and either he does and it's an incredibly cruel trick to wake up to, or he doesn't and he gets his heart broken in several different pieces again.

There is no convincing this man that Shen Qingqiu is dead. Absolutely nothing at all. He is buried so deep in denial that moles would be jealous of how deep he is. He keeps making tea for two in the bamboo house only to remember that it's just him. SQQ's fans are hiding everywhere, little reminders of his presence. He goes to wake up SQQ on the mornings he sleeps in-- only to find the room empty.
