The thing is, we've been seeing Qanon level reality denial from the left for over a year and a half now when it comes to Hamas, Israel, Oct 7th, the history of the Jews in the Middle East, the existence of antisemitism, etc etc etc. It's become increasingly mainstream and become increasingly frightening and dangerous for Jews. But what was distinct about this type of reality denial is that the consequences for it started and ended with putting Jews in danger. In other words, the people engaging in it were never really going to feel the consequences of their own actions.

I feel like this sudden mass delusion that there's no evidence Iran is/was developing nuclear weapons is a tipping point in terms of how far the general population is willing to take reality denial in order to maintain their belief that literally anything The Jews do ever is evil and wrong 100% with no nuance. The reason I feel like it's a tipping point is because while the motivation for it is still clearly antisemitism and the desire to fit literally everything into a Zionists vs. The World narrative, the consequences for this denial are clearly now moving beyond a minority group you already hate getting hurt.

What I mean is. People are now willing to deny obvious facts that potentially could endanger them, not just The Jews. They're so committed to this that they're willing to en mass pretend that there's no evidence of Iran developing a nuclear weapon, something that would have massive global impact. We are really screwed when people are willing to ignore facts that endanger their own personal safety, just to keep their oppressor vs. oppressed narrative 100% clean and tidy. I really do feel like we are at another tipping point.

#gingerswagfreckles #leftist antisemitism #antisemitism #jumblr #it's also like. this is literally being repeated by EVERYONE who's left leaning at all.#this isn't a far left thing that's going to start seeping into mainstream discourse #just overnight everyone from communists to centrists went. no there's no impetus for this war at all and there's literally no evidence of #iran a developing a nuclear weapon #what's that UN report from a few days ago confirming they are stockpiling the material to make 9 nuclear bombs that was literally #the catalyst for all this? i simply do not see it. it does not exist.

And some days, I just wish you wouldn't look at me at all.

#ffxiv #sketch #wol #meteor survivor #zenos yae galvus #adventurer zenos #oh no #its the consequences of his actions #everything is fine until the only man on the star you care about looks at you with the same contempt your father did #(Meteor's not doing it intentionally- its a reflex after he comes back for quite a bit)#and zenos is getting bodied because its been a while since... you know... him being able to really feel anything at all #and no- its not him regretting anything that had to do with varis- just him regretting the thought meteor could look at him like that #little does Meteor know he's emotionally bodying the man he's trying to be cordial with #its a little okay because in how I write adventurer zenos this serves as one of his main wake-up calls to make some changes #and realizing both the mistakes he's made with meteor and that meteor hating him in any way is actually -not at all- what he wants #but not okay on the end that every time meteor does this he has to watch zenos actively dissociate right in front of him #until zenos just kinda autopilots and walks away #the second time (or perhaps third) in the last 11 years that zenos has felt regret to any major capacity-#on meteor's end I just enjoy seeing the progression of the WoL through subtext #and why meteor is willing to even entertain the idea despite how much he hates zenos- his decisions and the path he's walked #is the realization that there is high chance that he could actually be a direct catalyst for zenos' growth #and the realization the wol has that they were the only one zenos has ever genuinely reached out to #besides- i just like the idea of having your equal other half fighting back to back with you- or being able to handle threats you cant #and i find their dynamic neat- of meteor not forgiving zenos but giving him his last chance- and growing to enjoy being around him #and zenos being able to work on moving past being the weapon or the monster- finding the connections he's longed for #and giving himself purpose to finally truly just live- for him to learn to experience and have the freedom to find what he enjoys #(and curiously him having estinien's brand of accidently helping people even in StB gives me ideas...)#but enough tag ranting- ill get to zenos' actual adventuring in another post lol

wip thing of a project—that being concepting ajaw if he was playable for fun.

#my art #wip #ajaw #genshin impact #im gonna render this thing andf alos sketch some ideas for skills #and i'll post a design breakdown becuase i put far too many braincells into it #based off ajaw being the fourth lord #since i like that theory and it has more to work with design wise #as you can easily add those little robo guys into it #dunno what weapon he'd be #catalyst? brain says polearm for some reason #maybe a bow because dragon breath = range hmm

Catalyst has no right to be 5 times larger than an average bot AND THAN have mimicry abilities on top of that

But someone like Megatron, who shots first and asks questions later, would have to learn about the mimicry thing the hard way...

#paradox art #oc: tf!catalyst #maccadams #transformers #transformers oc #tf oc #tf megatron #megatron #for a bot who avoids getting involved it sure has a lot of weapons avaible #no transformers were harmed in the making of this drawing

Conquering the Fear of Purim (it's an echolalic tag but it is also quite literal and superstitious) by assigning myself all the tasks I've been procrastinating on for the past month-ish. Apprehensive about the state of the world, apprehensive about the lunar eclipse as an omen because I am, as noted above, superstitious to a fault. Friend asked if I had any Purim plans and I said something insane about fear of celebrations attracting the evil eye under a blood moon (like in Tog un nakht by S. An-sky) (too much of my warped cosmology was influenced by S. An-sky).

#Other things too #Alcohol. Weaponization by Israel of 'amalek' language & megillat Esther narrative to perpetuate and justify genocide #Etc etc etc. Just have a massive aversive reaction to the carnival now #fear of purim #The catalyst was the second-worst night of my life happened Because I went to a Purim party #And as a reaction to me attending that Purim party #And it changed the rest of my life immediately irrevocably and Forever #And now I'm insane about Purim forever

I just read the Mechamaru short and also the other replies and well. And it just STRUCK me how Mechamaru is downright in the wrong in so many fucking ways.

Especially when you mentioned the guards. Those poor people who were guarding the Death Paintings and fingers. Mechamaru didn’t even give them a single consideration and probably even forgot they even existed, but they died horrible deaths because of Mechamaru colluding with Kenjaku.

Mechamaru accuses of Shiki having a perfect life - powerful, beautiful, perfect - and feels anger at her for the indifference when she looks at him, and yet, HE is worse than she is.

Ironically enough, despite her indifference and very much real and sincere want to resort to killing to solve her problems ALA she’s a cute little psychopath, Shiki is far more nicer to her subordinates and “people who don’t matter to the sorcerers”.

The guards. The assistants. The servants.

Because of how logical, abnormal and straightforward her way of thinking is, Shiki just… gets straight to the point. She treats her servants nicely because it’s basic decency to treat people who make everything work nicely. She makes sure her assistants are out of harm because duh, they are her assistants and can take care of other things, they don’t have to risk their lives fighting curses they cannot handle, she can handle that. Someone has committed a crime? Well easiest solution is to kill them but because of politics she will just immobilize them :/ Just let her break their limbs quickly, she had learnt from her mistake with Geto Suguru after all. They can be interrogated with only their mouth.

Anyways.

It’s just. Shiki doesn’t care about them the way she cares about Nanami or Satoru or Tsumiki or Megumi or Yuzuki.

Yet, she’s far, far more kinder to them than many other sorcerers who just see them as fodder.

Ironic. One of the most inhuman of sorcerers is kinder to them than those with human ego, isn’t it?

I think we're probably all in agreement that Mechamaru's plan in canon wasn't thought out very well. It sort of feels like he just finally, finally saw a chance to save himself, and went for it -to the point that he was tunnel-visioning quite a bit, either ignorant or uncaring or both regarding the casualties that such actions would have.

Shiki is largely uncaring about most people on the emotional level, but not the intellectual level. Which makes all the difference!

Mechamaru is indeed rather hypocritical in various ways when you look at things this way. Luckily, he's alive instead of dead in the Liyue AU, so now he gets to deal with the repercussions.

I haven't really made up my mind on details in the Liyue AU, although I think I'd like Mechamaru to have some character development in which he deals with the consequences of what his actions wrought.

In his own world, we have many civilian deaths, as well as the deaths of the warehouse guards. He also endangered his own classmates during the Goodwill event. He actively assisted and helped to hide Geto-Kenjaku and the man's faction from the jujutsu school.

In Liyue, an entire village was decimated by the four Special Grade cursed spirits that Shiki was fighting. Cursed spirits that she was only fighting because she'd been sent to search for Mechamaru.

Part of me wants to keep the transfigured monster-form a permanent state for Mechamaru. Actions have Consequences, and all that. It would also serve as an ever-present reminder that Mechamaru can't run from, in terms of what his shortsighted decisions cost him. There's also a fun parallel to hilichurls!

At the same time, there's another part of me that wants to make it so that Mechamaru can learn from the adepti. More specifically, learn to transform his shape from the illuminated beast adepti, whose original forms are animals but they themselves can take on a human form.

Because part of Mechamaru's growth in the Liyue AU would be coming to terms with what he did, but also trying to atone for it, too. To move past his mistakes, and become better.

... Anyways there are fun things to write either way, and I'd better stop here and get back to editing the next chapter for zenith of stars now haha.

#QA #zenith of stars au #liyue au #in the second case where mechamaru gets to turn human again #if he were a playable character in genshin-verse #i headcanon him with a catalyst weapon #and it basically just looks like a phone or a laptop #some high-tech device #as a nod to him controlling robots!#:D

i dare him to not score a critical hit ( impossible difficulty ).

#⚘ㅤ⎯ㅤ ꒰͡⠀ ׅ idling by the shore. 𝆬⠀⠀͡꒱ ׂㅤ #i have yet to balance out his crit damage for i keep rolling crit rate. my account appears to be allergic to the former.#that aside .. it's only a wonder how the ratio is going to bounce off his weapon once i manage to pull for it after three bad banners.#all of which i skipped as i have no use for two hp scaling catalysts and a defense favored claymore.#the next will hopefully be good .. fingers crossed.#i'll say—the game ensured to spoil me since i returned this patch. little do they know; i'm leaving again www

me when i have an idea of how dod!mean lesbian!vanida looks like ( thanks sua from alst ) but i still have no idea what is her catalyst moment

#. // ♡ 🌱 txt #LIKE I HAVE HER DESIGN CRAFTING IN MY HEAD #IT’S JUST A ‘well how does it happen though’ THAT KILLS ME #cause i feel like with the implementation of the weapon shop in dod vanida’s sense of self has a longer shelf life #esp with her support network being a bit more expanded upon rather than the total isolation she felt before #cause she still has her odd dynamic with rory than kat ( not!robin ) who is actually a competent friend #and in dod where oliver ( not!kylar ) doesn’t jump into freak mode instantly and they are friends for a bit #but i am like. settled on the fact that i do want the start of it to be her encounter with the profane ( not!auriga )#and then her confiding in cody what she saw ( big MISS STEAK )#which just starts a catalyst of events cause cody tells others about it #like almost getting kidnapped & sold to the brothel by taylor ( not!whitney )#oliver entering freak mode and kidnapping vanida to ‘keep her safe from the target on her back’#( LIKE. RIGHT SENTIMENT WRONG EXECUTION )#and im thinking that to tie it all up maybe her going to ashley ( not!sydney ) and ashley being like ‘hey wanna go to church’#and her attempts of finding profoundness in her soul going wrong #but thats just a theory #( a rough draft. it’s not canon yet )#WE ARE WORKING ON IT. when i get more things written in the doc i feel like i’ll have a clearer vision #which i just wanna go on a rant so badly about the differences between the LIs compared to their original iterations soooo bad #but i have to wait… i have to be patient

Valerie: the 300~ish amnesiac electro sovereign, crashed into the beaches of mondstadt after being pursued by the shogun (“a monster threatens the people, it must die!” [was literally minding his own business]) and the fatui (“unknown variable could ruin the plan.”)

They now work as an ecological illustrator with roots in mondstadt, publishing textbooks and guidebooks for flora and fauna they come across.

Catalyst, he/they, does not care about perfecting their human form.

There was a fair bit of confusion on whether he needed a windglider license because he doesn’t use a windglider??

Fights like heizou/wriothesly, but more claws and kicks than punches.

What’s your favorite bit of lore? Or favorite holiday/festival in genshin they’re pretty neat

i'm absolutely biased towards lantern rite tbh

as for bit of lore, i'm not really sure. i feel like 'bit of lore' is really weird to define, bc ultimately most lore is all connected into bigger pictures. obviously i'm partial towards liyue lore in general, but as for a specific little bit...

probably still the possibility that zhongli is partial to archery.
