Next Shabbat, as part of the weekend of commemoration/memorial for October 7th, we are reading out the names of every person killed that day in Israel during the shul service. I have been asked to be one of the readers. We each get 100 names (roughly) and it's going to overwhelming, I already know that. We are being sent the names in advance so we can prepare, both from a pronunciation perspective but also mentally. It will likely take over an hour to read all of the names.

I don't like thinking about how fundamentally different I am as a person and my worldview is since this time last year. This time a year ago, I was chatting to one of my closest friends before she travelled to Jerusalem for her brother's wedding and promptly found herself, her entire family including her 7 month pregnant sister in the middle of a warzone.

While people I know were cheering on the massacre, I was barely sleeping as I tried to help organise getting my friend and her family out to safety while her and her family sat in bomb shelters discussing how they would have to leave behind the pregnant sister if they had to run as someone had to survive to look after her first child. We are lucky that they were in a position to get out. In Jerusalem, they were relatively protected from what happened in the south and the missiles from Hezbollah in the north. The UK government were 0 help, they did absolutely nothing to help get their citizens home.

I will not be surprised if all of us reading next week are standing in front of our congregation in tears while we read. The human brain is not designed to comprehend death on the levels we have seen in the past year and reading names will make it all the more real. I honestly think it will likely be one of the hardest things I will have done in a long time. A name makes a number into a person.

I know that to do the same with all of the innocent Palestinians who have died would take far longer and that they too are also victims of Hamas' actions on October 7th 2023 but this will be a day of mourning for our Jewish brethren and the non-Jews killed by Hamas for the crime of existing in Israel because they were all victims of the same bone deep hatred that runs through the veins of Hamas.

We will not forget them.

thinking about the sea brb

just. idk maybe it was the fact i grew up on a tiny island and the beach was only 30 minutes walk away from wherever you were on the island but. i miss it so badly y'all don't understand

it smells like home to me, it holds my earliest memories and my soul crashes and sweeps and falls in the shape of the tide do you understand me

i'm so homesick rn bring me back home (that home will never be safe for me again but i'd like to believe it could be. i want my innocence back and maybe returning to where i was born would bring it back to me safe like a bottle washed up on shore, waiting for me to open it up)

being so incredibly sick and not being able to take time off work is actually the most draining thing i have so much guilt about getting other people sick and so much frustration because the entire reason IM sick is because nobody else is allowed to take off work either i’m so sick of this

[girlthativealwaysbeen]

i think growing up is just life repeatedly sucker punching you and saying bitch you thought things were gonna better lmao no you're so naive and stupid for having hope in 20 years the world will be flaming bag of garbage and no matter how hard you work you'll get eliminated at some point

Gone fandom: You like Penny? Ew, she’s so creepy! She was attracted to Caine and Drake and she tortured Cigar to death! Poor boy…

My honest reaction to that:

after trying to write my 20 page essay i had to take a break and it’s so hard extracting myself from that break mentality. i do not want to finish these courses.

The fact that spencer is so emotionally vulnerable is honestly such an extreme strength. Her family and Toby talk over her, tell her what she should feel, how she should feel, and what she needs to do with those feelings. Ezra tells her how she needs to craft herself. A frequently shapes perspectives to make it so spencer doesn't know what her own thoughts or actions are. But she still is able to stand up and say no this is what I feel this is what is happening. Her friends call her scary and it hurts because she doesn't see herself as scary. Spencer has an extremely shaky sense of self because of everything she went through, but she doesn't hide from her feelings.

Heyyyyyy 😄

Will you please talk about your Pacific Rim AU? 😌

[I LOVE LOVE LOVE PR!!! 😍]

i also love pacific rim!!! i watched it for the first time some time last year in prep for the del toro pinocchio movie (the only movies of his i haven’t seen are the two hellboy movies he directed and obviously the At the Mountains of Madness adaptation he was going to make with tom cruise and james cameron that is still haunting my daydreams.)

anyway—top gun is one of those movie franchises that doesn’t really leave room for alternate universe style fics imo because of how much sandbox space there is between both movies, but pacific rim also feels HANDMADE for top gun. if i had a nickel for every movie about a military maverick pilot who goes against the grain of his superiors and loses someone he has an emotional connection to in an accident inside the giant metal object they fight inside of, only to come back and defeat his mental barriers and discover a new emotional connection to a fellow pilot/ranger in the process, i’d have two nickels. you could replace all the planes in top gun with jaegers and the plot wouldn’t even change. “being a wingman is literally being drift compatible 🤓” - literally me five minutes into PR for the first time.

but this fic is probably my least finished one oop. i’ve been stabbing at it for a good month and don’t have a set plot (or pov), but the brunt of it is: maverick and goose get put in the jaeger program. goose dies (aw man) while fighting. maverick goes to the shatterdome (omg TOP GUN) and is enrolled back into the jaeger program in an attempt to find another pilot. since there’s a stupid wall being built and the program is losing funds, the US sends all their eligible jaegers to Hong Kong: maverick, a few other guys that might be his match (background 86ers) and the west coast jaeger team they already have (iceman and slider.) that’s about all i have so far for outline, since I don’t really know how to fold in a secondary plot or deal with the switch from iceman-and-slider to iceman and maverick discovering their drift comparability, but this fic is also just a silly time and a way for me to get some creative juices flowing. i don’t even know what time period it will be in (80s??? 2020s?? we’ll see)

left is just some notes on how i want to tackle mav, and right is my attempt at naming the jaegers and kaijus. i just keep shoving adjectives together until something sounds right.
