Bone - sender breaks one of receiver’s bone / A finger. " It seems my traditional punishments have not sunk in for you yet. Do not fret , little brother. Bones heal. "

Though the horrible, deafening sound of breaking bones echoes into the sharp shell of his ear like eruptive bombs, it is the pain that Cardan feels first, jolting up his forearm and shooting through his body like a constellation of stars, prickling its way all the way to his limbs. It hurts, of course it hurts, but the Prince doesn't scream, no matter how badly he wishes to ― he will not give Balekin the immense satisfaction of hearing him scream; Instead, the elongated fangs bite hard into the inside of his cheek and swallow up the howling shriek until all it comes out is a gasping breath ― a sharp inhale of air that, due to the shock of it, falls short to fill his lungs.

Bones heal, Balekin says, but Margaret is no longer with him to tend to the callous injuries each of his punishments leave behind and himself knows very little regarding which mixture of herbs he ought to grind into ailment to will the pain away and conjure a fast recovery. Perhaps, the still looming absence of the aged mortal is precisely why he is being punished; or, maybe, it is the newest recruit's absence ― a young, human girl with a whole life ahead of her whom he had tediously returned to the mortal land the night prior ― that Balekin noticed. Or, rather, his reasoning behind such a cruel punishment can be narrowed down to the simple fact that Balekin simply could. It can be either, or all of them combined.

The muscles in the Fae's face tighten and his teeth clench as his good hand reaches to cradle the injured one against the silky texture of his shirt, as though such would be enough to soothe the pain. When he next looks up at his brother through furrowed brows, hatred burns as bright as coals behind his dark eyes, his face painted in a mixture of rage and spite. It is, perhaps, due to the latter that Cardan's lips curl into a cruel, humourless smile before he returns in a voice of perfect restrain;

❛ Maybe it is, those particular punishments of yours that make Father deem you as adequate as a lashing animal to take on the throne. Perhaps, you would be better off ruling in one of the many Unseelie Courts. You do share some remarkable similarities, after all. ❜

went out to check the eggplants in the garden and took a second to hang around the backyard with a bottle of kombucha listening to birds sing in the golden sunlight. it was pretty magical. my current living situation might be shit but there are good things to keep me going. like morning glories popping up out of nowhere all along one side of the backyard. most are purple, but a few are ghostly white, and so delicate that i can see my hand through them.

morning glories are special to me;

when i was little, my mom used to talk on the phone with Nan (her mother) every single morning. but the thing was, Nan would call super early in the morning. i used to be the only one awake, so i'd be the one to pick up the phone. i'd talk to my grandmother for a while and then hand the phone off to mom when she got up. i can so vividly remember her saying "hello Morning Glory!" through the beige corded landline telephone

her favorite color was purple

those morning glories growing up along the fence are like a balm on my soul.

holy shit someone faked a fucking strawberry bush for a cute aesthetic internet video

The way the word "wasteland" is used in fantasy fiction can crash into its historical usage in interesting ways because the word "waste" in this context used to just mean "uncultivated" (i.e., not being used for food production), so you see the word "wasteland" in historical documents, and based on the fantasy trope you're picturing, like, volcanoes and shit, and then the wasteland in question is literally just a forest.

I had another stupid dp x dc prompt idea.

So, Undergrowth finds a natural portal leading to the dc dimension and possesses poison ivy. The justice league are at a loss because poison ivy is suddenly so much more powerful and also they have no idea on how to deal with ghosts. In comes Danny and the Team Phantom. Somehow they learn about this and gear up to go take care of the problem. The twist?

They arrive as gardeners. Dressed in overalls, Tucker has a leaf blower, Sam has a weed wacker, and all three of them ride into the watchtower meeting room through a glowing green portal on a big lawnmower that danny is driving.

“Hey guys, heard you have a landscaping problem? Well, we at Phantom Gardening INC are the best for the job! We do everything! Shaping hedges, large lawns, tree stuff— uh guys what else do gardeners do?” Danny whispers the last part to the others who are barely holding back their laughter.

“Call us Edward Scissorhands, for we will turn your uncultivated yard into a masterpiece, guaranteed but no money back!” Tucker butts in.

And then they defeat undergrowth using only gardening tools and undergrowth gets sucked into the leaf blower.

hey sal feel free to ignore this but i got into an argument with a zionist who claimed that arabs sold their lands to them, is this true

This is interesting, because it ignores a lot of context. Keywords to remember is the Ottoman capitulation, the Felaheen, the Sursock purchase and the eviction of Palestinians that inhabited the area at that time.

The Sursock family was a family of Aristocratic landlords with strong ties to the Turkish and European nobility dating back to the 19th century. The Sursocks were known to have mass purchased land in Palestine from the Ottoman Turks. While they were absentee landlords, they hired Arab labours who inhabited the purchased land at that time. When the Turks capitulated following WW1, the Turks were pressured into allowing the land to be sold to the PLDC, the Palestinan (later Israeli) Land Development Company. The PLDC sought to purchase the Jezreel valley, which consisted of 20-25 Arab villages, from the Sursock. . Keep in mind that the Jezreel valley was the most fertile land of Palestine and close to the economic city of Haifa. Following the mass purchase of land by the PLDC, the Jewish landbuyers expelled Arab tenants and depopulated the Arab villages despite their usufruct, and right to toll on the land. This all came as a surprise to the Arab inhabitants. This was all part of the idea that cheap Arab labour should be replaced with Jewish labour, this despite the fact that Arab labourers had greater expertise on the agricultural field; the settlers were unfamiliar with the land. Keep in mind that according to JNF, the Jewish national fund, only 3% of the Palestinian land were uncultivated, destroying the myth that the land bloomed as a result of its settler colonizers. The Hashomer Hatzaeer would come to be the center of these kibbutzim and would establish over 30 kibbutzim built ontop of the Arab villages before 1948. As a result, the Arabs, or Felaheen (The Arab peasant class) put up a resistance against the JNF out of concrete material reasons and attempted to fight back against the expansion of these kibbutzim. This was the first instance of Arab resistance against Zionism.

All of these lands were purchased before 1948 and the Arabs were expelled and depopulated only for the kibbutzim to be established with the help of the money provided by the Jewish Colonization association and its organs. However, the British mandate did not require the landowners to compensate for the expelled Arab tenants. The Arabs were forced to migrate to slums and towns. In one of these towns, a notable Syrian resistance fighter would rise up, namely, Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, and declare jihad on the British. When the Arabs resisted their dispossession by every means necessary, even violence, the Zionists used this as an excuse to fortify their colonizers and expand them due to "escalating security needs". Since the colonizers were too weak to face the resistance, they turned themselves to the British to gain their support in an attempt to expand their lands as means of security for the Kibbutzim. In a memondarium written by the Kibbutz Hazora (a settlement in Jezreel) to the Jewish Agency in 1936: "Our basic demand is for our own instutions to help us ugently in getting the British authorities to expand our territory--this is a vital issue for us.". A similar pretext is used whenever the colonized put up resistance against their colonizers, in which the same excuse is used to further expand and colonize the lands. This is the logic of the oppressor in any context, whether it is colonial or in the class struggle.

Following the 1948 war, the state of Israel was founded on 78% of the territory of Palestine, considerably more land than the partition plan had proposed (52% of the territory was earmarked for the Jews under the plan, who represented 7% of the population at the time). About 418 villages were depopulated or destroyed during the war and 714,000 Palestinians lost their lands (Isaac et al., 2004). Arab ownership fell from 570,000 ha [hectares] in 1945 to 76, 800 ha in 1949/1950 (Lewis, 1996), a loss of 87% of the area. The expropriated land was among the most fertile and productive. Almost all Arab-owned citrus groves and banana plantations were lost.

Under various provisions that the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, promulgated beginning in 1948, vast quantities of land were expropriated. These included the Emergency Land Requisition Law which authorized expropriation «for the defense of the state, public security and the absorption of immigrants; a law enabling the minister of agriculture to take control of «waste» (uncultivated) land; the Absentees’ Property Law of 1950, which allowed the government to seize the land of both external and internal refugees. The latter were referred to as «present absentees» (Quigley, 2005: 107). In 1953 The Land Acquisition Law gave the government title over the lands acquired under the Absentees law of 1950. «It provided for compensation but most Arabs refused it, preferring to preserve their claim to the land (…) The value of the lands taken from the Palestinian Arabs was estimated at 100 million pounds. It included stone quarries, 10,000 acres of vineyards, 25,000 acres of citrus groves, 10,000 business establishments, 95% of what became Israel’s olive groves and 50,000 apartments.» The government expropriated 85% of the land of the Bedouin of the Negev desert (Quigley, 2005: 108-109). For example, in 1951-52, former Arab groves produced 1.25 million boxes of fruit, of which 400,000 were sent abroad. Arab fruit sent abroad provided 10% of Israel’s foreign exchange earnings from exports in 1951. In 1949 the olive produce from confiscated Arab groves was Israel’s third largest export, after citrus fruit and diamonds (Jiyiris, 1976).
