#again thank you for being respectful

[moondirti]

Before I say anything, please read this with a friendly tone because I am absolutely not saying this in a nasty way.

I think it’s wonderful that you are spending time at your school’s encampment to protest the genocide in Gaza. Our voices are being heard, it’ll just take some time before we see results.

But, when you say Zionist, I have the weird feeling that you mean Jew. And the reason I say that, is because I have seen so many videos, tweets and interviews where the protestors are calling for violence against Jews. Not Zionists, Jews.

And please, please don’t try to say that’s a lie because I have seen way too much evidence that support what I’m saying.

No one in their right mind would ever support what’s going on in Gaza. The Israeli government MUST be held accountable for what they’re doing.

But when there are people calling for violence against Jews, people will react violently. This has happened before & it’s terrifying that even though I don’t support Israel and am disgusted by their actions, I am still a target for these people simply because I’m visibly Jewish.

I am proud of my heritage and being Jewish, I had family members who survived the concentration camps, which is a major part of why I would never support what Israel is doing to the innocent people in Gaza.

Maybe I’m being sensitive, but when you say things like this, I can’t help but feel that I would need to avoid you and your friends simply because I’m jewish & don’t want to get attacked for it.

Thank you for being friendly about this and explaining your feelings in a comprehensive way. I think it’s important to set any misunderstandings right, especially when liberation calls for unification and compassion.

When I say zionist, I do not mean Jewish. I won’t gaslight you into distrusting the evidence you’ve witnessed of others’ words, especially since I haven’t been given that evidence to watch for myself, but I need to make it clear that I am strictly referring to those who support the genocidal entity of Israel when I call out their brutality.

I understand why you might feel hesitant, as precaution is a given when you’ve been exposed to past discrimination. But please do not misrepresent my words. I am very against antisemitism. Within my school’s encampment, Jewish students have been one of the loudest voices calling for peace, and even if that weren’t the case, I am intelligent enough not to conflate them with a proper fascist doctrine. In fact, part of my advocacy against the state of Israel discusses the fact that their actions done ‘in the name of judaism’ are directly harming the Jewish community by associating them with this attack, and so it would be hypocritical of me to then believe such disinformation.

I don’t know how many other ways I can say it, but in the future, please don’t apply accusations onto someone who has never given you reason to do so. I am very careful upon choosing my words, and I have never pushed the narrative that the Jewish population is responsible for what’s happening in Gaza. They are not the ones who should face the consequences, and I’m sorry that you seem to have come across those who believe otherwise, but that is not me.

I also didn’t call for violence, if that’s what you’re concerned about. In my previous post, all I meant was that we should call out zionists for their brutal reactions to peaceful protests (look at what happened at UCLA for example). That is, to hold them accountable, since the state isn’t interested in doing so.

​(and if anyone is using Israel’s attack on Gaza as an excuse to express their rotten prejudices and antisemitism then block me. this is not a safe space for you)

why cant i post block that non con fic??? i love your fics dont get me wrong, but i dont want to see that!

Ok, this one is important. First things first, thank you for communicating this in a respectful way, I really appreciate it. Second, I am not an expert of tumblr, but if it helps I will put a "read more" after the warnings, since I want them to be displayed, I want people to know what they are reading or about to read and I fear that if they are not the first highlighted thing there is people will just skipt them (I know people do that, just press the "I am over 18" and don't see anything else. And tumblr doesn't let me show the specific warnings before that).

And I'm very sorry is this part sounds rude but if you don't want to see that post you don't have to. I know that post have sensitive content that some people will like, others don't. That is why I list specific warnings and write as clear as I can what the post is about before the actual writting. With this it will be easier to skipt, and as I appreciate that you show interest in my posts, I don't want you to watch content that is not of your liking just because I posted it.

Please, if you are aware of the content that is to be shown, you know you are sensitive or just don't like it, don't read. Reading takes effort, is easier to skipt some paragraphs than skipt images as avoiding to ingest the content. I'm sorry if this is not the answer you were looking for but I really prefer the first warnings are the specific ones instead of a "this work is for +18 people only" because I am yet to find someone who never skipted the terms and conditions.

Vettonso complaining about each other not respecting schrondinger's track limits on the radio compilation + Seb's commentary that made me a bit feral

Must include these sexy ass pics okay, it makes me feral how hard they race each other.

Also SO upset that we got this vid and there's also pictures(and presumably a vid out there somewhere) of Fernando, back then, ALSO debriefing this race. And yet we never got them together?????? Evil. Fucked up.

Imagine seeing them complaining about each other but also having to (begrudgingly if you're Fernando) compliment each other IN FRONT of each other. Maybe its a good thing it doesn't exist, bcs then I'd have a heart attack.

Hi I am here to revive ask culture with you

Are there any things Sherry and Heathcliff like to do together after a busy day to unwind?

- @solitaireships

Hi, Shepherd ~! Sorry this took me so long to get to--thank you very much for the ask! Putting my answer under a cut, since it's fairly long.

What these two do after a busy day tends to vary depending on the Mirror World, as their dynamic shifts depending on which "universe" they're in--for example, the Shi/Zwei versions of Sherry and Heathcliff have an enemies-to-lovers arc, which leads to a lot of their relationship being bickering (they love each other, I promise), while the Seven and R. Corp versions of them have a bit of a workplace romance going on.

I do often think about the Pequod Mirror World when it comes to them unwinding after a busy day, though ... Heathcliff is pretty quiet in that universe, and spends a lot of time at the inn Sherry runs with Mycroft--at least when he isn't aboard a whaling vessel. He likes to help Sherry out with managing the inn, mainly by keeping an eye on the guests in the dining room and making sure they don't get too rowdy, but sometimes he helps out by running errands for her while she cooks, cleans, and serves patrons. A day at the inn ends fairly late--around 11 at night, if they're lucky--and they usually relax by the fire after everything's tidied away. Heathcliff likes to sharpen his harpoon or carve scrimshaw, and Sherry will just sit nearby, appreciating his company ... they don't say much, but being close to each other like this is very comforting for them.

In the LCB Mirror World--or the main canon--however, things are a smidge different. At the end of each day, Dante dismisses the Sinners so they can rest, granting them about 12 hours of free time each day. Every Sinner also has a room aboard Mephistopheles (the bus is bigger on the inside--a theme that's common throughout the Project Moon games, with the Library and L. Corp having a similar trait), which is shaped by the occupant's mental state.

Heathcliff's room tends to be stormy--thunder, lighting, rain ... not exactly a pleasant place to sleep. So he often spends his evenings with Sherry, who's room is a replica of Baker Street Office. She has a fireplace, a sofa, an armchair, a desk littered with chemistry implements, and, of course, plenty of bookshelves. Initially, Sherry didn't let anyone into her room, but after she warms up to the Sinners, she lets a few visit at a time--Heathcliff, however, gets the special privilege of being able to drop by whenever he wants and stay for as long as he wants.

Much like in the Pequod Mirror World, they tend to be quiet when they're alone together--Sherry will be tinkering with her chemistry set, or reading a book or the newspaper, and Heathcliff will lounge on the couch. Sometimes, they'll talk--and usually it's Sherry who does the talking, with Heathcliff listening and providing occasional input--but a lot of the time they're just ... coexisting.

Also, Heathcliff does sometimes start up a conversation, usually to complain or seek Sherry's advice, and she always listens, no matter what she's doing. And they occasionally bicker, or they gossip over a news article Sherry comes across. Fairly normal stuff. But I think that's part of what makes them work so well together--they can just ... be.

my physical therapist, clearly worried he's imparting bad news: okay, so with systemic conditions like this, we uuuusually want to do long-term maintenance check-ins, so once you're doing better i'll still probably want to see you every month or so....

me, so so so physically disabled: ....oh. thank GOD.

Greetings people, it’s been literally an entire year since I posted here but ignore that. Here’s my present for this years @valensemblestars Valentines exchange, which is for @zenyuumi who requested kohiiai shenanigans! I decided to go with the social media idea because I thought it would be the most fun, so I hope you enjoy it :)

Here’s the digitalised version

And here’s the sketch I did as a base for it

I’m aware the prompt was specifically wanting to show the fans’ reaction but I hope you’re fine with it as is anyway because I tried my best! Also, MAJOR apologies about this being so late, I really need to stop underestimating how much time things take me in comparison to a normal speed artist. It took two hours just to outline it, and that was BEFORE I decided I wanted it to be colour coordinated. I definitely spent at least a whole days worth of hours on this and it’s significantly less than what most people would’ve done in that same time, but we got there eventually and that’s what matters! Yippee!

(P.s once again quick note for the organisers, hello it’s Shipsarebeautiful on my sideblog, do not be alarmed)

my fiancé when he wants to ask me a spicy question is so funny because he treats it like he's being interrogated by the CIA and i know he's doing it to be respectful and not scare me away (which i really appreciate because i do have a fear of sexual intimacy) but man just ask me what i'm into!!!!!!! I LOVE U I WANT TO DO THINGS WITH YOU!!!!! ASK ME ABOUT THEM

And here's one with Weak for Fuuta and Amane, for anon! I've recently been going crazy over some ideas from posts about Fuuta and food and he and Amane's relationship, and they came together perfectly with the prompt -- thank you for the request 👀👀👀

“Can you be quiet for one minute?” 

Fuuta spun around from where he’d been complaining loudly about the food, with his mouth full of it, to find Amane glaring from beside him.

“I’ll do whatever the hell I want,” he said through bites. He paused to swallow, though. And take a sip of his drink. And then forgot was he was talking about anyway.

Amane returned to mouthing a blessing over her food. The annoyance in her expression melted away to serenity as she brought her hands together. Fuuta watched as she drew herself up. Then she ate calmly. He could have crumbled in shame, right then, at the thought of this tiny kid holding up better than himself. 

She, too, had experienced the punishments that came with their verdict. Restraints pulled so tight it’s hard to breathe. Long nights of maddening voices and watchful eyes. The smaller meal portions leading to shaky limbs. Fuuta spent every meal inhaling as much as he could as soon as he could -- and here Amane sat as if she had a perfectly content stomach. Through everything, she maintained her strong gaze and commanding voice.

Fuuta reminded himself she did have a few advantages over him. She still had all her eyes and ribs intact, for one. It was difficult to give someone a convincing stinkeye with only one eye.

While he continued shoveling down his meal, he noticed her separating things on her plate. The meat in the corner went completely untouched. 

The aforementioned treatment had made him irritable -- more irritable than usual, that is -- and he jabbed his utensils at her. “Hey, we talked about this. Eat your fucking meat. I’ve been eating my vegetables, yeah?” Not that he wanted to. He would have eaten just about anything they put in front of him if it kept the gnawing hunger at bay.

“It’s against my beliefs,” she said simply. 

“I thought suicide was, too.”

She raised her chin. “I’ve known plenty who have fasted and become stronger for it. This is nothing drastic.”

Fuuta grit his teeth. He’d witnessed his fair share of internet-goers who acted cruel about another’s religion. He wasn’t about to join them in being some piece of shit who forced her to do something that was against her code. But there was no way he was going to sit around and watch her starve herself, either.

He couldn’t blame Amane for how harshly she’d refused help from the others -- they coddled her, encouraging her with sweet talk, or tried an insufferable stern parental tone. Fuuta wasn’t cut out for any of those methods, anyway. What he did know how to do, however, was make threats. 

Even if Amane didn’t fear death, he knew there was one situation she would do absolutely anything to avoid. 

“Oi, if you get any weaker, Shidou’s gonna step in.” Her frown twitched. “He’s already harassed me and Mahiru about our meals. He saw my hand shake one time and hasn't stopped hounding me about it since. The minute he can tell you’re not eating enough, he’ll be all over you. And let me tell you, you’re not very subtle about it.” 

The final statement came out with more bite than intended. Maybe he was bitter that she was at least more subtle than him. Maybe he thought it was fucked up the way she, too, had grown visibly weaker. Maybe he was just hungry and tired of talking. He attacked another mouthful of food. 

Amane was searching her plate as if the answer could be found there. There was a long silence as she contemplated. Fuuta had thought he’d won until she shook her head. “No. I can’t.”

He rolled his eyes and head in an over dramatic show of exasperation. “So stubborn!”  When he was done chewing, he picked up his plate. “Fine.” He gathered up all that was left, dumping it onto hers with a flick. 

A fire ignited in her gaze. She shoved the dish away. “I’m not some weak child to be pitied.”

“Wha–? It’s not pity!”

“You think I’m weak.”

“I think you’re hungry!”

“You don’t know anything!”

Mikoto passed by, chuckling as they raised their voices. “Look at you two hotheaded kids. Do I need to break it up?”

“Go away!” they chorused.

“Alright, sheesh…” He kept walking, leaving the pair to stew in silence. 

Fuuta didn’t have it in him to fight today. He was tired. He ached all over. If she wasn’t going to appreciate his help, so be it. He was starting to get used to his good intentions being taken the wrong way. It looked like he was just the weak one, after all. He grabbed his empty plate and stood to leave.

“Fuuta.” Amane took a deep breath. “I am hungry.” She gestured for him to come back. Then she moved the meat from her plate onto his.

He eyed the offering, hoping his expression didn’t betray how desperately he wanted to scoff it down. “I’m not some asshole who’s gonna take your food.”

“You’re not taking it. I’m giving it. I would have thrown it out otherwise.” Amane picked up some of the vegetables. “In return, I will eat this. We both must stay strong for the ordeals ahead.”

After a moment of hesitation, Fuuta sat back down. He took a bite. Neither said a proper thank you. Neither needed one.

He glanced to Amane with a smirk. “Good. This way, we’ll both keep that geezer Shidou away.”

It was only for a moment, but for the first time since the second trial began, Fuuta could have sworn her lips slipped into a small smile.
