Pro-Palestinian protesters are on the roof of UCLA’s Kerckhoff hall and renamed it Bassel Al-Araj Hall, in honor of a Palestinian activist/author who was killed by the IDF in 2017.

I’m obsessed with this interaction. Al screaming “WHAT?”, the host’s tone of voice, “do you play the accor deen?”, Al realizing this guy has no fucking idea what he’s talking about,

| Ruler of Everything | Scarabia animatic 🐍☀️ |

———

I love songs that can be interpreted and applied in so many different ways, and Ruler of Everything is one of those songs. I felt like it fit Jamil, not just in the lyrics of the part I used here, but for a big part of the song!

The anger and sense of injustice “Juno” feels towards time, this all mighty and powerful thing that rules over all, fits Jamil’s anger towards a system that he’s but a pawn in. And the way that Juno takes his frustration for the injustice he endured out on the sun, his best friend, can also resemble the way Jamil took it all out on Kalim, his “best friend”. There are a lot of really cool comparisons, and the video essay “Ruler of Everything is a song about Time” by MarcButEvil has a really good analysis/theory on the song, and a lot of what he said I felt kind of resonated with Jamil in a way? Not all of it, but certain things.

The line “in the gallows or the ghetto, in the town or the meadow, in the billows, even over the sun, every end if the time is another begun”, refers to the way that Time rules over everything and everyone, the poor, the wealthy, and even those above. But in this metaphor, where Time is the system of the Scalding Sands, or even just the ruler of it, Juno, or Jamil, isn’t happy with it. He is mad that he’s been had, so he lashes out. He doesn’t understand why it has to be like this, and like Juno, Jamil feels like his life means nothing in the grand scheme if thing. He’s just a servant to be thrown away and discarded.

The line “If this mirror were clearer, I'd be standing so tall” really reminds me of the way Jamil pities himself, the way he makes up excuses. “If only (blank) I could show them all.” He is arrogant, he thinks he’s so much, and maybe it is, but in the grant scheme of the system he lives in it’s not worth a lot. “You understand mechanical hands are the ruler of everything?” I think it’s interesting to think about!

Wow, that was a long ramble about a song most of you probably don’t even know! Sorry if it was hard to follow, I kinda just started typing, zoned out, and ended up with this. But I do highly recommend this song, it’s a lot of fun and quite existential. Thanks for reading the description, and now that you’re here I have a question for you: what is a song you find oddly fits a TWST character, and why?

took a couple days off to spiral but im back on the writing horse, have an excerpt from today's work:

"Al!" Wade hollers. "Slop's up! And you better be decent when you come out here, we've got company and Logan doesn't want to see your granny panties. I do, obviously, but you can show them to me later, when it's just the two of us and a big bottle of Boone's Farm Fiesta Strawberry."

A moment later a door opens. "Logan," Althea says, "give him the claws for me, would you?"

"Excuse me?" Wade squawks. "Stab me yourself, you coward!"

"I've tried. You always dodge like a little bitch."

"I've told you a million times, that's training! Do you want to become Geriatric Black Daredevil or not?"

Logan looks between the two of them for a second, then shrugs and lets the claws out. Wade tries to bend out of the way of the swipe, but his balance is off since he's trying not to drop the food, and Logan shreds right through his t-shirt and a little skin. Not too much, though. He doesn't want Wade dropping anything either.

Wade stares at him, his face a mask of cartoonish outrage. "Domestic violence! Under my own roof!"

"That's what makes it domestic, dumbass. Thank you," Althea says to Logan, sitting down at the table. "He's had that coming for a good long time."

Logan joins her, feeling the corner of his mouth twitch. "Happy to help."

A crowdfunding project is currently live for this super cool animated pilot by Studio Flimpo (on YouTube). It's a comedy-horror series about art students called Mandelbrot Hall and it is made by a small queer-owned and operated indie studio. The trailer is currently public on YouTube and on this crowdfunding page. The cast also includes some special guests such as Weird Al! I think this project is really cool and it would be great if you could check it out and possibly back it as I have and/or share!
