With the whole Trump and Musk fiascos going on it makes me wonder just how many highly powerful institutions in history were in fact run by man-children. It’s gotta be a lot more than we realize. I think historically it was just easier for this kind of thing to go unnoticed because for most of human history these people could not live-tweet their every stupid action to the masses
#how many peoples entire careers have just been coddling an idiot in charge#and filtering them in ways to not make them look like idiots to the masses#this had to happen constantly with royal families yeah?#15 year old bratty new boyking sits the throne because pop just died of tuberculosis#country run by a kid whose modern equivalent would be smoking weed all day and trying to make it#as a Minecraft streamer#how many CEOs and modern political leaders are just following in the footsteps of#’nepotism got an idiot here’

i think a lot about the algerian national anthem, how it says :لم يكن يصغى لنا لما نطقنا (when we spoke no one listened to us). how '1 2 3 viva l'agerie' used to be 'we want to be free, viva l'Algérie'. a grand total of 5.6 million algerians were killed over 132 years.
i often see comparisons made between Algeria and Palestine, especially since israel actually worked with france because israel supported the colonisation of algeria and france literally took tips on how to torture algerians from them
the point i wanted to make here was i very much think these comparisons have strength. as well, to make the point that algeria has been free for 62 years. and one day Palestine will be free. even if it takes another 132 years, never give up hope, its never too late, its never too far gone. when we look in history books, we can see so many countries who fought for their freedom
from the river to the sea Palestine will be free 🇵🇸
#my grandfather fought against the french and was imprisoned and tortured for five years#and he lived to see his country free and only died in the 2000s#one day the Palestinians will also see their lands free and safe again#sorry if this doesn't make sense im tired#Palestine#free palestine#algeria#🇵🇸#free gaza#free rafah#end ceasefire#queue

“why would elaena marry a dornishman when they’re nasty evil people who murdered her poor innocent brother daeron”
maybe because once elaena grew up she realized that there were better ways of bringing dorne into the realm than violent conquest, and that daeron got the death he deserved from not just a nobility that is valid for fearing subjugation from valyria but also a smallfolk sick and tired of these people showing up every few decades to set their principality on fire, and put aside any anti dornish sentiments she may or may not have harbored as a child to see the way her family had directly attributed to their suffering, eventually even falling in love with and marrying a dornish man??
also, considering daeron ii attempts a type of proto-reparations act in bringing dorne into the kingdom, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that someone as intelligent as elaena would recognize the inherent racism in the targaryen conquest of dorne and especially considering the very loud anti-dornish, deeply anti intellectual faction in the blackfyre rebellions, realized they wouldn’t be kind or understanding of an intelligent woman like herself and had no interest in herself or her daughters (of which she had four!!) getting shoved back into the maidenvault again?
like, daeron i is on some andrew jackson manifest destiny shit, and if it makes me an asshole for thinking “god i wish someone had merked jackson before he genocided & displaced my ancestors, good on the dornish for realizing you can’t negotiate with imperialists” than i am perfectly comfortable being considered an asshole right next to my girl elaena.
#everyone discoursing about the young dragon. listen. they should have tortured him before they killed him too.#anti daeron i targaryen#valyrianscrolls#anti house targaryen#idk just in case. clearly i’m not anti everyone i’m complimenting elaena & daeron ii#elaena targaryen#daeron the good#daeron ii targaryen#getting on my soap box#dorne#also when i say ‘my ancestors’ i mean that jackson passed the indian removal act specifically to remove my tribe (and several others) bc#white people in the midwest didn’t like that we wouldn’t leave.#my tribe managed to work somethjng out and only had to move a couple miles away from our homelands. others in our area were forcibly mkced#*moved. look up the potawatomi trail of death. they marched them thru illinois’ capital. dozens including children died.#also read about the fort dearborn massacre. and rising up from indian country which makes the argument that it wasn’t a massacre#but a battle bc white americans had been raiding potawatomi villages for weeks. so the potawatomi struck back and people to this day insist#it was a massacre just bc the potawatomi were better at fighting than the americans. nah.#u don’t get to wage a war of conquest on an innocent and indigenous population just to turn around and say they were mean for fighting back.#i’m sorry i woke up today and decided to choose violence. i’m in an awful mood aksjdjd

Welcome to the season of Christians affirming their Christianity by refusing to celebrate Christian holidays.
#sorry#i saw the first “we don't celebrate halloween” post with Joshua 24:15 on it#the first of many to come im sure#*sigh*#like... i get it... i do...#but also...#why willing hand over a christian holiday and basically say this is the devil's now#no day belongs to the devil they all belong to God#and this is specifically a christian holiday#the fact that pretty much all countries had a harvest festival shows that is a universal time for celebration#that some of them where dedicated to false gods is irrelevant. just dedicate it to the true God who actually brings the harvest#and lets stop the whole halloween is samhain nonsense... firstly samhain is not assigned a specific date and halloween is#secondly it had to be initiated by a druid and being a druid was connected to specific bloodlines that haven't been maintained#so the druids died out and there isn’t anyone who can initiate samhain#so can we just stop?#unironically christian#halloween#christmas#easter#might as well add these tags too because people to the same thing with them 🙄

If I had a nickel for every time my dad and to go to hospital for: choking on a piece of meat during a post golf meal
I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot yadda yadda but damn dude how do you get a piece of steak crammed that far down in your oesophagus??
#this time seems less pressing (despite being air lifted from country hospital to the royal) because he can still breath#but its pretty jammed in there and he can't swallow so will have to wait all day for endoscopy to have a look at it#and play the worst version of a claw machine game people have#last time he was all weezing and stuff because it was obstructing airway#when i saw the message the first thing i was worried about was managing my behaviour so the fam (mostly my sister) dont get mad at me#if he died i would be sad in the way people frightened of their own mortality are#not sad in the grieving and miss him way#and i dont think my siblings realise how little i like him#anyway hes not dying and will be fine but it really shifts the mood this weekend and also means mama is not moving house today#and im pretty sure i can still go to a gig tonight (hes fine. i cant do anything anyway)#but i think my sister will go off if i ask to be sure

me trying to hype myself up to posting online again despite The Horror
#so turned out taking a break was both needed and the worst thing I could have done#having Anything to do day to day was the one thing keeping my brain from engaging nuclear meltdown lol#was trying to tell myself if the election went well maybe there'd be a chance for someone like me and it'd be worth trying again#but uhh no need to explain the flaws in that logic lmao#still stuck in the same place with no where else to go#and like#the more I learn about the scale of history the more I understand that relief won't really come until long after I've died#not at a scale needing to overcome the sheer ocean of grief and blood my country is built on and continues to feed year by year#have to live with it now somehow#its not liberating to acknowledge#but there's no such thing as miracles so I guess I'll stop hoping for better#that kind of thing has to be built by hand#really feelin that pingu rn#anyway time to stop whining I gotta start planning to post art or something#might need a second blog for my other non-nature-y artwork#trying to figure out how to make things manageable#maybe will make something silly just to break the ice#rompopolo calls

Me normally: Let people love what they love
Me, after a Test Match Special commentator expresses their belief that the new All Creatures Great and Small is somehow "better" than the 1978 version: This is pure insanity and TMS can no longer be trusted on anything, how can they even be trusted to know about cricket, do they have no TASTE
#Look it's fine that this show exists and people will watch it and like it and that's ok maybe it's just not for me#But that was like a statement purely designed to piss me off#There were lots of issues with the 1978 adaptation! I still vastly preferred the books any day!#And I actually initially had high hopes for the new one because they at least cast a Scot (albeit a Highlander not a Clydesider) as James#And the actors at least looked a little bit younger than Christopher Timothy and Robert Hardy#And thank god Helen actually sounds like she's a farmer's daughter and doesn't speak RP!#But from the half hour I've seen of it I've had to write off this new adaptation#For two major reasons#First of all there's Siegfried#Siegfried is one of the key central aspects of the vibe of the books and therefore key to any adaptation#Robert Hardy was too short and too old for the part but he lived and breathed the character#The twinkle in the eye bouncing off the walls and in and out of rooms followed by half a dozen dogs utterly full of life even when angry#But this new Siegfried is just sort of... Eeyore-esque; he comes into a room and you can see the flowers droop and the set turn grey#Siegfried was angry Siegfried was happy and the historical character he was based on was no stranger to melancholy#Since Donald Sinclair did commit suicide or rather self-euthanasia after Alf Wight and his own wife Audrey died#But this slow grumbly figure in the new adaptation is not Siegfried Farnon- the book character didn't grumble more often he exploded#And why did the adaptation give him a dead wife that's so weird? What could that possibly add to the source material?#And this brings me onto my second problem which is to do with women and age#Firstly I have no idea why they aged down Mrs Hall or at least made her look younger than a woman her age would have back then#But what really drove me mad was when Heriot goes out to see some old woman hill farmer in the episode I saw#And this woman is far too clean and young-looking and you can see that she's wearing 'natural' look make-up#And a perfect set of clothes that looked like they were straight out of the House of Bruar autumn collection catalogue#Say what you like about the 1978 adaptation but old women looked like old women regardless of whether or not they wore make-up#It may be that the better quality of television screens means that the 'natural look' shows up on screen more clearly than it would have#But natural look make-up was not really a thing in the 1930s and for old women Yorkshire hill farmers I doubt they'd have much on at all#They just don't seem to be capable of allowing people to look old and wrinkled and real or have bad teeth or unattractive clothes#And everything is far too tidy- everybody looks far too perfectly country and quaint#Anyway the moral of this story is of course that I always recommend reading the books because they're much better#than any tv adaptation; but if forced to choose at least the 1970s one felt real and yet didn't have to be grim either#Ok that's my rant over please do feel free to enjoy the show I just got annoyed because the opinion was expressed on TMS

westerners you literally can not possibly imagine how horrible it is to live in romania and other such outhouses we call countries
#it's kind of cool how I died and went to heaven for 11 days (lived in a western country with someone I love)#would love if the rest of my life could be like that too please. if I could excape the torture labyrinth
