(x) David - bisexual with a strong female lean. but he describes himself as “straight but also not opposed to any random impulses that may arise”
I kind of overlooked this for a very long time admittedly, as I assume a lot of people did because I rarely appear to see this discussed in depth minus one, but like. I know this is an Andrew Garfield quote, but the actual prospect of David being fifteen feet in the closet makes so much sense. He is an incredibly notable figure in the universe of DRDT, his whole character is basically built upon that fact. Something else that's pretty obvious is that David is someone who cares a lot about how he's perceived by others. He works hard to make himself as palatable and uncontroversial as possible to other people. It's no wonder that he would hide and/or sugarcoat his attraction to men when describing his sexuality to the public, or even begin repressing it himself. And not only that, but it makes the inappropriate way he responded to Nico being forcefully outed make so much more sense
(x) David: So then, revealing your secret was a good thing, right? That way, you won’t have to be misgendered anymore. Nico: … Nico: I wasn’t ready. David: This is definitely an improvement. It’s good for everyone to be open with their secrets.
Like no wonder this man cannot be trusted to handle queer identity in a respectful way, he's repressing his own so far that it's going to come out of his ass.

Aussie Kevin is also equally endearing, though I had trouble with his garments, Margaret is uhm...off playing with Nurse Adams! (Who I jar, personally headcanon as Japanese Mexican :3)
I drew Billy in an Ao Dai, who-oddly enough-I already headcanoned as part Vietnamese...hmm! It's like you're heh...spying on me, lil jar, you'd never do that though right?

just found out about the hdg and I definitely don't vibe with it. It almost captures my interest but the hard stance opposition towards exploring the implications that come with a self designated benevolent empire that can solve the inherent problems that come from cultures who are supposedly inferior in some way by nature really like, both rubs me the wrong way and feels like a disservice to the setting itself.
idk just looking at every empire in history it's like, that's literally what they all say and how they justify colonizing others. It's kinda really fucking hard to just take at face value. If imperialist colonizers who just happen to be legimately nicies to the people they colonize is like, ur thing then absolutely jack off to it I'm not here to judge that, just like, own that I guess? But if your argument for them is just that narratively speaking it's just true then my interest in your setting, horny or otherwise just does not exist.
The contradiction of the setting also bothers me, 25-45% of any given species will be domesticated on average but the space between that and rebellion just doesn't seem to be accounted for in the wiki, what is the life of someone not opposed to the empire but also who doesn't volunteer for domestication? How much of their own cultures are retained within the empire? It really seems like the only option for any autonomy in the setting is rebellion but that's also only ever seen as a bad thing.
I just get caught on the whole "affini are imperial" and "affini are benevolent" thing in the axioms section of the hdg wiki. My mixed race ass cannot really look at an invading empire calling itself the good guys without my own personal baggage about it weighing in, ya'feel?

I don't usually write my own political posts (mostly because there are far more eloquent people out there than me). I am, however, going to encourage you guys to watch this man talk about the upcoming election this November.
It is not about passing the purity test. It is not about defeatism, about giving up on a nation that has so much power and influence that anything it does sends ripple effect throughout the world.
It is about protecting this country from a second Trump term.
Please watch this video and listen very carefully to what this man, and so many others who will be voting for VP Kamala Harris.

“Guo Jie”/”Border” [Censored]
Tumblr media
Main Characters: Russia, China
Minor Characters: America, England
Pages: 28
Translation By: haragurotan
Vibes: comedy, romance, bit historical, bit emotional
CW: cover says r15 but I censored out the inappropriate pages so it’s sfw now and it wasn’t relevant to the story; there’s a bit of blood on the second image, weapons and minor war references; based on irl but comes off a bit fetishy...
Summary: Russia and China seem to be in a relationship which frustrates America
Other languages: Vietnamese/Tiếng Việt

time is a flat circle where we watch a country go to another country and randomly will civilians because "what if they're the enemies haha we totally aren't clearing people out to steal their land" etc and we all go "wow thats fucking messed up, good thing it won't happen again!" and then the exact same thing happens right now and the same people somehow are just incapable of accepting that fact that we are living through history and letting the thing we said wont happen again fucking happen again.
#the same ideologies causing all the pain back then are still causing pain now.#you need to realise any retaliation no matter the initial cause that causes mass civilian death is historically regarded as a bad thing#maybe some natives attack the white people coming into their land? yeah lets genocide them.#vietnamese conflict that america barges in on because it has a huge fucking head about itself?#lets kill all the vietnamese villagers we see because anyone could be the enemy.#oh and if they fight back because theyre enraged about the destruction of their home and murder of their families? proof that we were right.#we should bomb them and kill them and gas them. all for anti communism!#their fault for fighting back!#extremists drive two planes into a building? well we just gotta go can start fucking shooting every arab civilian we see and start a war.#because its obviously their fucking fault.#oh and yeah lets drop a nuclear bomb on japan because theyre not surrendering fast enough. on all those civilians.#oh can the car bombings in northern ireland and stuff? yeah lets just go to a stadium full of people that just wanted to watch football-#-and start shooting.#<--actions that have been repeatedly performed forever and ever#<--and all of them only go down well with insane people who think deporting all immigrants or mandatory school gennital checks a good thing#warfare is fucking stupid and so is colonization. you have too little faith in the common person and too much in power hungry governments#dROOLING AT OIL. VIBRATING AND ROCK HARD FOR THAT SWEET FOREIGN OIL AND LAND. COMPANIES GIDDY WITH THE PROSPECT OF KILLING NATIVES.

⛓️ It's the 4th of July, America's Independence Day.
Do Native, African-, Asian, and Hispanic Americans have anything to celebrate today?
Tumblr media
🛶 Do Native Americans have anything to celebrate?
Many Native Americans view the 4th of July as a celebration of colonialism and the oppression of indigenous peoples rather than a celebration of independence. The Declaration of Independence itself refers to Native Americans as "merciless Indian Savages." Furthermore, contemporary celebrations often overlook or ignore the painful history of Native American communities, perpetuating a sense of exclusion and historical erasure.

For many African-Americans, the Declaration of Independence's assertion that "all men are created equal" starkly contrasts with the historical realities of slavery and systemic racism that have plagued African-American communities since the nation's founding. This contradiction was poignantly highlighted by Frederick Douglass in his 1852 speech, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" For many, Independence Day serves as a reminder of the persistent fight that must go on for civil rights and justice.

⛓️ Frederick Douglass asks, "What to a Slave is the Fourth of July?"
Despite the holiday's celebration of freedom and independence, Asian Americans have faced exclusionary policies, such as the Chinese Exclusion Act and the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. These historical injustices, coupled with ongoing issues of racism and xenophobia, contribute to mixed feelings about the 4th of July.
Many Hispanic Americans reflect not upon the 4th of July's ideals of freedom and independence, but upon historical and ongoing immigration, labor exploitation, and racial discrimination. The disparities between these ideals and their actual experiences can lead to a sense of exclusion. For some, the holiday serves as a reminder of their persistent struggle for equality and recognition in American society. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese

learning about henry kissinger death, and my own ignorance about the depth of this war criminal is alot
especially when hes responsible for 150,000~ Cambodian civilian deaths
Literally as the daughter of Cambodian refugees its really crazy to read this and see that America's red scare killed so many people. The "effort" to ensure communism doesnt spread in SE Asia, and made it worse and made tons of those countries anti-american
