I’m feeling in a Devil Survivor mood today, care for me to ask for Jezebel?

Jezebel - Day 33 (Request)

Race: Bel

Alignment: Free Palestine! 🇵🇸

May 7th, 2024

Abrahamic faith and SMT go hand-in-hand. There's a reason YHVH is such a recurring figure in the series, and it's not just due to ATLUS wanting to see god be dethroned every entry. Hell, in mainline, a good amount of theming is based around abrahamic religions, such as things like the Law-Chaos dichotomy or literal Lucifer being a major character in almost every game in the series. However, if there's one game in the series famous for its Christian roots, it'd have to be the first Devil Survivor. Whether it be the main character literally being Abel, the demonic invasion having heavy ties to a biblical apocalypse, or many other characters in the story being reincarnations of biblical characters, Devil Survivor is rife with Christian themes. Admittedly, I haven't played it yet, being a mainline and DDS fan first and foremost, but its themes being so explicitly connected to abrahamic faith to the point it makes even mainline blush is notable to me.

Now, what does this have to do with anything? It has to do with our demon of the day! Great segway, I know. Today's demon of the day is the wicked witch and promoter of Baal, Jezebel! Being an infamous figure for good reason, Jezebel was responsible for many things associated with false prophets- whether it be propping up fake gods like Baal and Asherah or slaughtering Yahwist priests, she was responsible for the fall into heresy that the Omride dynasty experienced. In spite of how unpopular the dynasty grew to be to the common israelite who lived under her, Jezebel promoted growth, eventually leading to conflict with her own people. Only being a princess, she could only promote worship of Baal, however she often went out of her way to kill people who worshipped capital-g God, leading to Panic! At Jerusalem.

Eventually, she led to the death of Naboth in an act of greed for a fellow Israeli citizen, executing the man for not wishing to share his prosperous vineyard with her husband, Ahab. Watching this flagrant disregard for his people, though, was God, who was utterly fuming. Seeing the fall into heresy that Jezebel led Israel right into, he gave Elijah a prophecy- one of the eventual death of Jezebel. The man would report that prophecy to King Jehu, who would give a solid order- one to execute the woman. Jezebel then proceeded to be thrown through a window and eaten by dogs. Yes, really. Death by defenestration is a biblical thing.

Ever since that story, Jezebel has become synonymous with false prophets and heresy in abrahamic faiths, with her name typically being referred to as shorthand for any who manipulate others through lies and gaslighting. As unpopular as she was until her death, though, she's still referred to by many in that same context, and you may find people referring to others as 'Lustful Jezebels' if they're lame enough. Her name was also attached, in the Book of Revelations, to a priest who began to spread sexual promiscuity to her people, hence the "lustful" part of that saying.

Now, in SMT, her design is utterly fascinating- appearing as a late-game boss fight in Devil Survivor, the flowers seem to symbolize promiscuity, while the many tendrils emerging from the torso seem to represent all manners of manipulation. Her design is packed with layers of metaphor, and the imagery of flowers can also represent both 'honeyed words,' as well as the spreading of lies, like pollen. Her design also is frankly sick looking- I really gotta play Devil Survivor, huh? Overall, Jezebel is a fantastically designed demon with some serious importance behind her, a representation of sin and manipulation that I adore.

me being wholeheartedly pro-palestinian liberation is not an invitation to be antisemitic in my inbox. hating the iof and hating zionism does not change the fact that that jewish people deserve the same basic respect afforded to any other ethnic (and religious) group. i will not tolerate hate speech on my blog. period.

side note: thank you to all the anti-zionist jewish people out there who are doing major work to educate people on why zionism and jewishness are not inherently linked, and that self described zionists are often major antisemites

[ombre-ame]

Fuck Zionism ..Fuck Benjamin Netanyahu bombing a school that was being used as a shelter. Forcing people into these makeshift shelters and then attacking them is inhumane. Where are the Hamas members they claim to be targeting? The world is watching and allowing this to happen, turning a blind eye to this genocide. This isn't about hostages anymore; it seems more like a hate-driven land grab. If my words seem strong, consider how unjust and harsh the reality of genocide is for the people of Palestine.

Side note..

I harbor no hatred or ill will towards any race, religion, country, or people . However, I have absolutely no tolerance for war mongers, murders hiding behind the mask of politicians . I will never turn a blind eye to injustice , if that makes me unpopular, so be it..

Any thoughts on nick land / mark fisher?

I've encountered both of them essentially as bloggers—I don't think I've ever read a word of either on paper—so I can't say I've studied them formally or mastered their thinking.

Land's concept of capital as autonomous alien intelligence assembling itself through retroaction on human agents—do I have this right?—is fun science fiction. I accept that as a theory of cultural temporality in general but not necessarily as a theory of technology or capitalism in particular. As for his more (shall we say) "ethnic" idea about "exit" and the Anglo character—maybe there's something to that. Modern history as the struggle between decentralized commercial sea empires (UK, US) and despotic communist land empires (Germany, Russia, China). And his new thing about Anglo-Zionism—I believe he's read Milton deeply—is right on time. All his Compact pieces on the English canon are paywalled, so I haven't read them, but it seems like he's approaching the idea that the God of the Bible is the force he previously identified as capital. (I think this is similar to what Mitchell Heisman outlined in his Suicide Note, but I only read some of that, and only once, on one sleepless night over 10 years ago, and doubt I'll revisit it. Does Heisman cite Land? I don't recall.) Hyperstition is real, as any manifestation girl on here or on TikTok or on YouTube will tell you.

Now Fisher was a sad case. I think all that anti-humanist theory did him no favors, personally. I'm not sure he could stand in that desolate place, the way Land could. I don't believe I ever directly interacted with him online when we both were bloggers in the same milieu circa 2005 or so. Maybe once or twice. He had a positive Marxist take on Batman Begins, and I had a negative one, and I think somebody sent him mine when he had comments open. (He had a whole thing, which anticipated the "vampire's castle" image, about "gray vampires" who stalk the comments section and suck the life out of your imaginative assertions with their point-missing nitpickery. He wasn't wrong!) I'm sure he thought I was hideously naive if he ever thought about me at all, and I was naive, I was essentially a Stalinist, an obvious example of humanist theory gone wrong, but there are limits, too, to that gothic style he picked up from Land and the CCRU.

I think he said Kafka was his first major author. There's a case to be made that you should read Kafka only after Dickens. (I don't mean literally but metonymically. Nor do I mean the 19th century vs. the 20th or even realism vs. modernism. Replace Kafka with Baudelaire and Dickens with Joyce and it'll mean the same.) And I'm not talking about politics here or even ethics. No panacea for politics and ethics can be found in books. Kafka, for that matter, was probably a nicer guy qua guy than Dickens was. But, just as someone who has to live in the world in your skin, it can't hurt to read a non-anti-humanist book from time to time if you're a bookish person. To not always try to conceptually outflank as a ruse of power every obvious humane sentiment. And to try not to need your humane sentiments to be conveyed only by the most alienating stimulus, to need them to come in the form of their opposite. I never got over his review of The Passion of the Christ:

What, from one perspective, is the utter humiliation and degradation of Jesus's body is on the other a coldly ruthless vision of the body liberated from the 'wisdom and limits of the organism'.

Masochristianity.

Christ's Example is simply this: it is better to die than to pass on abuse virus or to in any way vindicate the idiot vacuity and stupidity of the World of authority.

Power depends upon the weakness of the organism. When authority is seriously challenged, when its tolerance is tested to the limit, it has the ultimate recourse of torture. The slow, graphic scenes of mindless physical degradation in The Passion of the Christ are necessary for revealing the horrors to which Jesus' organism was subject. It is made clear that he could have escaped the excruciating agony simply by renouncing his Truth and by assenting to the Authority of the World. Christ's Example insists: better to let the organism be tortured to death ('If thine own eye offend thee, pluck it out') than to bow, bent-headed, to Authority.

This is what is perhaps most astonishing about Gibson's film. Far from being a statement of Catholic bigotry, it can only be read as an anti-authoritarian AND THEREFORE anti-Catholic film. For the Pharisees of two millennia ago, puffed up in their absurd finery, substitute the child-abuser apologists of today's gilt-laden, guilt-ridden Vatican. Against all the odds, against two thousand years of cover-ups and dissimulation, The Passion of the Christ recovers the original Christ, the anti-Wordly but not otherwordly Christ of Liberation Theology: the Gnostic herald of Apocalypse Now.

This is why I found him frustrating when I read him as a daily blogger almost 20 years ago. Plus the over-solemnity about pop-culture ephemera. I found him a bit naive, too, in the end, though he was almost 15 years my senior. I also sometimes just didn't and don't know what he was talking about, because I sort of hated and hate theory.

In his purely political commentary, he was right, however, to focus on bureaucratization as an effect of neoliberalism—the way capitalism and communism converge in the present for the worst of both worlds, everything is at once a competition and frozen in a statist hierarchy. I'm not sure I'm persuaded by the "hauntology" thesis. I've thought through that issue in a different way and am not convinced the end of the myth of the revolution or the myth of the avant-garde has to mean that we have no future. In fact it might mean the opposite. But good for him for putting into public consciousness an interesting and melancholically beautiful idea that would otherwise have remained confined to smug Derrida-readers.

He is fun to read. That's the highest compliment I can pay. I'm sure the big K-Punk book is a wonderful thing to own and to browse through: to watch a movie or read a book or listen to an album and then see what he had to say about it. He was one model of the blogger as true essayist.

HI!!!

Hello everyone! This a rp blog for my bsd oc, Varvara Dostoevsky (which was actually the name of one of his irl sisters, fun fact!).

Pfp and header are not mine:

Pfp- https://picrew.me/en/image_maker/1706331

Header- Pinterest

I am a minor so nothing weird, as well as your basic dni criteria.

I will not tolerate any zionism, get out. Free Palestine🍉🇵🇸

More about her!:

Ability: her ability is "Notes from the Underground". Notes from the Underground enables Varvara to influence the emotions of those who come into contact with notes she's written, causing those affected to be suddenly overtaken by any emotion prominently portrayed in the note. The drawbacks of this ability are that it's predictably very emotionally draining for her and overtime has resulted in her having notable mood swings, as well as being overall much weaker with more positive emotions than negative.

Appearance: Varvara is around 5'9 and pretty lanky overall. she has silky black hair that reaches her mid back, which she does up in different braids most of the time. her style of clothing is typically within the realm of light acadamia.

Her existence!: sooo kind of a sigma situation? except she DID exist, at one point but she died :/ bc yk, Fyodor's old as hell. then basically fyodor created a new version of her in the Book, obviously writing all the stuff he knew happened in her life. this is one of the reasons she's only 19, despite having lived to around her 50s before passing, as I believe her and fyodor grew distant from each other after this due to some familial issues so this was the only things he was certain on. plus can't have his younger sister looking older than him, can he? anywho she's been up and at em for around a year at this point and has figured out that she's kind of not a real person but! it doesn't bother her! totally!

annnd that's what I've got for now, will update if there's anything I've missed :]

Not Magic But Intent

The phrase “intent is not magic” used to be pretty popular on social media a few years back — it means “doing a bad thing while having a good mindset does not somehow make the bad thing good”. This is true.

However, intent does have some practical effects. Right now, neo-nazis are trying to take over relief efforts for the train derailment in Ohio. They are doing this in hopes that if they talk really loudly about how mutual aid is coming from fascism, they will be able to recruit more fascists, or at least make the recipients of the aid stop opposing it. Since we don’t even want the fascists we already have, let alone a new crop, this is concerning.

I bring this up not because of that specific issue but because I am starting to see something on the left which worries me, involving intent.

Fascists are evil and we should stop them. If you’re here and reading that, I’m kind of presuming you agree with that statement. (If not, go away.) But it is worth asking ourselves “why?” now and again, so that we remain clear about this.

The correct answer is “fascists need to be stopped because they will, if left unchecked, harm (and usually kill) people for traits which they cannot control, such as ancestry or sexual orientation”. If there were, somehow, a fascist movement which exclusively sought to improve the lot of its favored group by nonviolent collective bargaining on their behalf, like the AARP does for old people, then it would not be necessary to resist it — but it also would not be categorized as a fascist movement, because a movement is called fascist because of its hatred of and, ultimately, violence towards the “other”. Nobody is seriously going to categorize the AARP as fascist (unless they start blaming young people for things and trying to kill them, of course — that would put them over the line).

Now, note the specifics of that answer: the fault is with the hatred of and violence against others. It’s not the particular selection of who those others are. If you encounter a political movement which blames all problems on white people and wants to kill them, that’s as bad as American fascists who blame all problems on dark-skinned people and want to kill them, or nazis who blame all problems on Jews and want to kill them. The wrongness is the desire to scapegoat people and then harm and kill them.

I bring this up because I keep seeing posts which seem to be saying “we need to resist nazis because they hate Jewish people, and Jews are special and should be exempt from violence”, with the implication that if said nazis were targeting some other group it would be okay.

Think that’s an exaggeration? Think again — the current Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, leader of the single largest political party of Israel — which is considered centrist and mainstream in Israel, no matter how right-wing it may appear from the outside — has spent years trying to whitewash not just nazis but Adolf Hitler himself. In 2015 he tried to claim that Hitler didn’t want to kill Jewish people and just a couple of years ago — there’s an article on this somewhere in my blog’s archives which I can’t find, and I don’t want to Google this too specifically because I don’t want a bunch of searches with these terms in my history — gave an interview where he said that if the Nazis hadn’t specifically put Jews on their enemies list they would have been fine (which means that the other people who were in concentration camps, gays and Roma and disabled people and dissenters and so forth, were fine to exterminate). It is absolutely a mainstream opinion in Israel that fascism is fine as long as Jews aren’t the target.

Hate crimes against Jewish people should not be tolerated. But they should not be tolerated because hate crimes should not be tolerated, not because the target is Jewish people. We don’t need Jewish übermenschen any more than we need “Aryan” ones; unfortunately it is clear that Zionism is increasingly linked to exactly this worldview. Deciding that Muslims — and particularly Palestinians — are inherently evil and then trying to kill them, which is official Israeli policy now, is fascist, and must be stopped.

[infiniteglitterfall]

literally only two days ago I had to have a horrible conversation with a very close friend who wanted to set the boundary that we wouldn't discuss Gaza, what the term Zionism means, the encampments, or antisemitism, because, in her words, "I think I am right, and you are wrong, on Gaza, on what is and what is not antisemitism, on Zionism. You think you are right and I am wrong on these or related topics. We are not going to convince each other, which is why I wanted us not to get into it."

We had not, for the curious, ever established in any way that we disagreed "on what is and what is not antisemitism."

It turned out that a big part of the reason she was bringing this up was that ADL and the Brandeis Center filed a complaint against the Berkeley Unified School District in February, and this month they had to expand it... and I had posted my top picks from their examples and bullet points to Facebook.

The following, absolutely cut-and-paste verbatim, is the list I posted:

Incidents included calls to “kill the Jews,”

and “eliminate Israel,”

and Jewish students being asked what “their number is,” referring to Nazi concentration camps,

derided for their physical appearance,

or told “I don’t like your people,”

and “Of course it was the Jews.”

During an unauthorized teacher-promoted walkout for Palestine, no teachers intervened as students shouted, “Kill the Jews,” “KKK,” and “Kill Israel."

It's not like Berkeley teachers don't know any actual chants and slogans to teach these children, either.

A high school art teacher showed students violent pro-Hamas videos and displayed anti-Israel and anti-Semitic images during class, including a fist punching through a Star of David.

A second-grade teacher encouraged students to write “Stop Bombing Babies” on sticky notes to be posted next to the classroom of the only Jewish teacher.

Because that's what you'd do if you thought someone was bombing babies!! You'd post sticky notes telling them not to!!!

Honestly what the fuck, these are seven-year-olds! They don't have the capacity to discern that this teacher is not literally bombing babies and does not support bombing babies!!!

They're gonna come out of this with the same ill-conceived "Jews are baby-killers" trope that I've seen scribbled on hostage posters, commented on social media, and passed around for almost 2,000 years!!!

Hold on, I gotta pace myself here. I'm gonna run out of exclamation marks.

Those were examples from the original complaint. It was made to the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR).

Since then, there have been three months of silence and inaction from the district. And more:

A group of teachers responded to the original complaint by writing a letter to the district characterizing parents who reported incidents of anti-Semitism at BUSD as “extreme” community members and “oppressors,” and labeling their efforts to protect their children as “part of the Zionist playbook.” They also asserted that “[t]he ADL is known as ‘Israel’s attack dogs’ in the US.”

After a ninth-grader's parent reported antisemitic incidents, an upper-level high school student made a public social media post calling him a “dumbass” who is “blatantly lying cuz he loves genocide that much.” It was widely circulated by other students.

“Kill all Zionists” was written at the bus stop used by many Berkeley High School students to get to and from school.

“Kill Jews” was scrawled in a Berkeley High School bathroom.

BUSD did not issue a statement denouncing Jew hatred or expressing a zero-tolerance policy for threats of violence against Jewish members of the school community.

By contrast, I distinctly remember my high school principal issuing one hell of a statement when swastikas were drawn on our campus in the early 90s.

Mind you, he was Jewish.

And the cherry on top of the highlights:

A first-grader heard older children on the playground saying “Jews are stupid.”

That's [my child's] age.

The six-year-old told his mother that he wishes he were not Jewish because people do not like Jews. Since the incident, he has not wanted to go to school.

Instead of intervening, the school principal suggested the six-year-old speak with the older kids [unsupervised, unmediated] to resolve the problem.

In other words, the six-year-olds should be tasked with educating bigger kids on antisemitism, AND should be capable of advocating for themselves!

I would be entirely fucking beside myself. Holy shit. I would be BESIDE MYSELF.

For fullllllll disclosure, I had also seen a video a friend of hers shared with her in a comment. The video description claimed that "Zionists" are strategically calling the police on things like protesters silently blocking them, well outside of encampments, for no apparent reason when they try to walk their dogs on campus, so that they can then report those as hate crimes to ADL. Which (they falsely claimed) already tracks things like pro-Palestinian protests as antisemitism, so the entire rise in antisemitism is TOTALLY made up.

Strangely, I had a small itty-bitty widdle problem with that, and commented (on both the video, and on Facebook) that that part of the description was vile. And that ADL is very clear about exactly what they count, etc.

I was REAL CURIOUS about how the fuck my friend could then be informing me that we would never agree on what antisemitism was and should no longer discuss antisemitism.

This is someone who grew up what I would call "Jew-adjacent?" Like: there were enough Jews where she grew up that her school got Jewish holidays off. She listens to Jewish acapella holiday filks for fun. She knows her challah from her matzah.

She has a lot of lesbian rabbi friends. They're all anti-Zionist. She also has a ton of friends who are involved in Jewish Voice for Peace. She was both appalled and confused that I bluntly slammed JVP as shady and barely-Jewish, and was clearly Zionist.

Also, I BARELY won an argument with her the other week about whether the Passover story is supposed to be literal history or a metaphor. I had said that I am not too troubled about YouTube feeding my kid weird Jesus shorts because he swipes them away now and also thinks Jesus is like the Easter Bunny. And she (a staunch atheist) was like, "Jesus is just as historically real as Moses!!" (Me: "....What??")

I was like, "First of all, he's six, he doesn't know from Moses? And also, it's a metaphor!"

I swear to you, she was like, "Says who?" And I was like, "Jews!" And she was like, "But who told you that?" And I said, "JEWS!!!!"

She caved in, but grudgingly. She was like, "Fine, I guess since I'm not a Jew, I have to--" and I was like, "That's correct!!"

For fuck's sake.

When I asked her how we disagree on antisemitism, she fully said, "You agree with the ADL, and with that list. And I believe that [dog-walker] was a provocateur, and you do not."

I didn't catch until now that she led with, "You agree with the ADL."

I asked her point-blank if, supposing that MY kid was the one hearing that Jews are stupid on the playground, I shouldn't tell her.

She said no, if it's me, I should tell her.

I said, "Why."

She misunderstood what I was asking why about, and instead explained to me that "a lot of it is deliberate exaggeration and lies, being used to attack people who are pro-Palestinian, who are protesting Israel's heinous attack on Gaza, in agony. Mehdi Hasan is worth watching on his new YouTube show Zeteo. That Jewish Currents article [about how accusations of antisemitism are being deliberately used] is worth reading."

I said, "I don't understand how you can look at the stuff kids are hearing in school and say that a lot of it is deliberate exaggeration and lies, etc. This is horrifying and I'm going to go put my kid to bed now."

She said, "Well, considering that [her sister, a school principal] was made the focus of accusations like that and I KNOW it's bullshit, yes, I am saying that. One family moved from her school, doubtless because it is an antisemitic hellhole."

The most fascinating thing about all of this is that she and her family are STAUNCH white anti-racists. They're dyed-in-the-wool radical activists. They probably took their first steps at a protest march.

A large part of the reason she has big feelings about the encampments, and a deep belief that accusations of antisemitism are used by "Zionists" to attack "the pro-Palestinian movement," is that her niece went to UC Berkeley a few years ago and was traumatized (my friend's word) by someone "from one of the Zionist groups on campus" yelling at her, at a BDS protest I think, that she was an anti-semite.

Someone else took photos of her and her roommate at a student government meeting and put them online, with their names and room number, saying they were antisemitic. That may have been the more traumatizing thing??

And if the same exact thing had happened to any one of us around racism instead of antisemitism, I think we would've assumed that we were in the wrong somehow.

I was going to say the same thing about cissexism. But actually, I've had conversations with her about her nieces being upset that you can't just have a space to talk about the experiences of being a cis woman, and about being upset that some specific trans woman was super angry and disruptive in their unrelated socialist group meetings.

Like. I thought we were all supposed to be applying what we learned about anti-racism to every marginalized group. And now I feel SUPER NAIVE.

We ended up agreeing not to talk about Gaza, the protests, or what she thinks "Zionism" means.

Then she said, "when allegations of antisemitism overlap with Gaza and protests, that is definitely part of what I don't want to talk about. Are you okay with that too?"

And I distracted her with a semi-related question, and then, some pictures of soup.

Nah I'm actually going to say this on my main blog:

if you aren't Jewish, you don't have a right to weigh in on what's antisemitic or not

01. GUIDELINES

This is just so… it’s written down somewhere and you have an idea about what’s cool and not around this blog. It’s a bit long but you’ll see I’m pretty chill with everything —most of the rules are just basic common sense.

BASICS

• I’m slow. Super slow. I work full time and have a busy life outside Tumblr. Keep this in mind if you have trouble writing with someone who might take weeks to answer a thread.

• No godmoding. Do not control my character’s actions, unless we’ve talked about it and I’ve said it is okay to do so in certain threads. 

• Hate won't happen here.

• Let’s keep the drama in character. I won’t tolerate it ooc. 

• If you’re underage, I will not rp NSFW/smut stuff with you. I’m quite past of age, so NSFW can happen anytime and will be properly tagged. It may go under a read more. That being said, I would prefer writing with adult writers —nothing wrong with being a teen in the RP scene (I was one myself once upon a ton of blogs), but I would kindly encourage you to find writers closer to you in age.

• I’m selective. Just for my own sanity. It means I very much like to have a controlled number of threads and will not start anything new until there are slots available, so to say. I don’t have that much time to be around here, and it can be overwhelming to come back after a while and find +50 drafts waiting for me. 

•That being said, this is a secondary RP blog, so activity will be lower than at my main one.

• I do reserve the right to refuse to rp, specially if I feel our muses are not connecting at all.

• OCs, AUs are more than welcome. Crossovers not so much, unless the other mun and I have talked about it.

• On that note, I won't follow any HP related muse, neither characters coming from other JKR works.

• I won’t follow you if you’re not an rp blog, but you’re welcome into my ask and the im thing anyway (I’ll follow if your rp blog is a sideblog, though, just let me know!)

•Racism, zionism, antisemitism and anti-LGTBQ+ commentaries and views will get you a block. Good riddance.

• If it’s not tagged as “do not reblog”, feel free to do so, whatever it is. In fact the only things I want you to /not/ reblog are threads, though I’m okay with you hitting the heart. The rest is fine, whether it is a headcanon, a joke, a drabble or something I wrote ooc.

• As I don’t really have that much time to be around, I tend to tag my memes and starters with the people they’re intended to. Please refrain from sending anything if the tags don’t mention you. Otherwise send in whatever you want :)

•If you want to plot, or talk or whatever, IM and messages are open to everyone out there. I do not bite, though I’m shy as hell. Mutuals can ask for my Discord.

• HAVE FUN! That’s why we are here, right?

ABOUT CÍRDAN & FANDOM STUFF

•I don’t agree with LACE. Círdan sort of just doesn't care.

•My portrayal leans heavily on my own headcanons about Círdan's life and what the text lets you see about him. They’re part of my Círdan and I’ve been developing them for years. Anyway if we’re writing and any of them collides with your own headcanons on whatever the matter, I’ll be more than happy to discuss them with you and get to a solution that works and makes sense for the both of us. 

•On that note, about headcanons: Círdan is a canon character and we all work with the same source material. If some of my headcanons, ramblings and conclusions about him resonate with you, feel free to adopt them into your lore. Crediting this blog would be appreciated, though.

•While I do not expect anyone to be The Official Tolkien Walking Encyclopaedia, I do expect coherence. 

•Also I’m not a big fan of biased and twisted interpretations for the sake of shaming characters you don’t like/hate. If you want to bash someone you personally don’t like, make it ooc and don’t involve me. Likewise, I’m not a big fan of dog-piling either.

•Yes, I’ve watched the show and yes I have loved it. I will tend to follow book!Círdan but RoP will happen, too.

SHIPPING AND PLOTTING

•I won’t romantically ship Círdan with either Gil-galad, Elrond, and Eärendil. I picture Círdan mostly as a parental figure for all of them, si it's a no-no.

•Brotps and ships that have nothing to do with romance/sex are cool, though, as well as cracky ones just for the sake of certain memes.

•Romantic or not, I will need chemistry between our muses.

•I’m not exclusive but I can do mains and affiliates. I welcome duplicates -even from my own muses! Each one of us brings something new to their portrayal, and that’s very enriching. I’ll be more than happy to discuss our characters.

•I actually do prefer to plot things out before starting a thread. Threads derived from memes are the exception to this rule, as they tend to be more spontaneous stuff. If we’re friends ooc and have talked a lot or if I’ve given you free rein to do so, you can send starters directly into my inbox without it having to be a meme, or start a thread without my explicit consent; if we don’t know each other yet, please don’t.

FORMATTING AND THREADS

• I think each thread has its own pace. Long replies are good for a certain plot, while short ones are good for a certain other. But one-liners? Not a fan. I tend to make long posts, but I won’t ask you to match my length if you don’t feel like writing that long, or that short. Write as much as you’re comfortable with.

• I’m open to all kind of threads, except for abusive relationships.

• I won’t format, but I don’t mind if you do. Also I don’t really care if you try to match my lack of format in your replies or not. I’m no one to tell you how to run your blog. Same applies to icons.

•Please tell me if you need me to tag something for you. The most recurrent triggers are usually tagged by default but let me know  if you need something more specific.

•If you see I’m not cutting my posts it means I’m from mobile (which is from where I post mostly these days). Feel free to trim our threads down for me if it is an issue for you. 

•I don’t care if you continue a thread below an ask or if you open a new post for it; just tag me and I’ll be there. I personally do prefer continuing asks in a new post.

•While I don’t mind if you reblog a meme from me without sending something in (like… I would hate to make you send something in if you don’t see that meme happening between our muses), I would ask those who follow reblog karma to have the courtesy of reblogging from the source.  

•Please, don’t feel compelled to go into the IMs to tell me “hey, I dropped this thread!” I know that conversation can feel awkward and uncomfortable for some people, so just skip it if you need to. Sometimes you’re just not feeling a thread anymore, right? Nothing wrong with that. 

•I don’t care if you reply to our thread in two hours, three weeks or some months. Even actual years. I’ll be more than happy to read whatever you’ve written and will try to write a reply as soon as I can (Hint: the term soon is not in my vocabulary).

ICONS AND EDITS

-I made all of them unless stated otherwise.

Note: I reserve the right to change these rules, should it be needed. Last update: Nov’24.

02. ABOUT THE MUN

Age: living the 30s.

She/her, though any pronouns work. 

Call me Nin, please.

Personal account at: @montalais​ or the sideblog @grillsalad​ Mutuals are welcome to ask for my Discord.

Location: Spain (GMT+1).

Eng/Spa.

A couple of things, so you can get to know the person behind Círdan a bit: I can’t live without music, cinema is 90% of my life and I could get lost in a library and manage to not find the way out. Winter, woods, tea, books and rainy days are my thing. Shy AF. When I’m not writing, I’m a costume/fashion designer teacher. 

03. VERSES

under construction

[blindinjustice]

BLINDINJUSTICE is an independent, mutuals only & selective interpretation of M.ATT M.URDOCK from marvel comics' SPIDER-GWEN. written by ej (22) / she/her.

THIS BLOG CONTAINS VIOLENT THEMES AND SHOULD BE APPROACHED WITH CAUTION!

DISCLAIMER 1. This blog is 18+ and I will not follow or write with anyone under the age of 18.

DISCLAIMER 2. I am not my muse. M.urderdock as the Kingpin is, y'know, a villain and not a particularly likeable person. Please don't view anything he says or does as an endorsement of him. Roleplaying boundaries are important to me, though, and I make a point to reread your rules or our conversations as I write.

DISCLAIMER 3. I won’t tolerate bigotry in any form, which includes (but is not limited to) ableism, sexism, racism, transphobia, homophobia and religiously motivated bigotry. Also, I believe in a free Palestine and in dismantling Israel, so zionism or any other imperialist beliefs. It’s also worth mentioning that I completely anti J.ason L.atour despite writing a character from his run of the comic. These rules also apply to faceclaims. If you see me writing with someone you think breaks these rules, privately let me know and I’ll escalate the situation.

PRIVACY. I'm mutuals only, so please only interact with my memes, starters, starter calls, edits and whatever else if we both follow each other. I reserve the right to be selective with who I follow back, because I'd like to keep this blog as a relatively quiet space for now.

UNIVERSE. In terms of the multiverse, this particular M.att is from Marvel’s Earth-65, which appears exclusively in Spider-Gwen comics. His nature as a multiversal variant of a typically heroic character means that this specific origin is important to my portrayal of him, but it's easy for me to write and justify crossover scenarios. In fact, because I know I write a character from a niche universe, I expect 95% of my threads will be crossovers.

WRITING STYLE. I'm naturally very descriptive. I tend to write multi-para, in third-person present tense. Also, as M.att is blind, I tend not to use visual-based descriptors in my writing, unless it's something he's aware of or can deduce with his radar sense. I also prefer not to interact with accounts that use messletters fonts.

ACTIVITY. My activity can be incredibly spotty, so you may have to bear with me at times. I can go from several replies a day to none within months. But I never expect fast replies from the people I write with. Writing, to me, is very much built on mutual respect.

SHIPPING. I ship based on chemistry from our interactions, as well as plotting. If I'm honest, I much prefer to write platonic and antagonistic dynamics over romantic ones, but I'm open to your ideas as we play them out. I don't write anything of a sexual nature though. That's just not for me, but I have no issue with people who do.

COMMUNICATION. I typically like to start discussions in tumblr direct messages, although I do have a discord that you can ask for if you like to talk on there! I'm much more active on my discord and have no issue sharing it. Just note that I can be a little anxious when it comes to talking with new people, so you may have to bear with me at times.

EXCLUSIVITY. I’m duplicate friendly (particularly if you write 616/nmcu M.att) although I probably won’t follow single muse blogs first if we write the same character. In general, I have no exclusives because I don’t personally like to ask anyone to be exclusive to me. The one exception to this rule is E.lektra N.atchios, just because my girlfriend writes her.

TRIGGERS. I currently have no triggers but I will tag common triggers as "tw trigger" as well as anything I know may trigger my followers. It is worth noting, however, that M.urderdock is a ninja assassin crimeboss and has canonically attempted suicide, so tw violence and tw suicide will be common on this blog. I won't force these upon you, but they're important to the character.

VERSES. I'm going to add information later. But for now, please know that I typically write within Spider-Gwen canon when M.att is the Kingpin (the status quo of vol 2. 12–19 in particular) but I am open to pre and post canonical threads for him too, and I'll be providing thorough verses soon enough. I'm crossover and oc friendly too and love the idea of mixing with muses from all sorts of origins!

That's all for now! I may add more as I settle back in to this blog. Feel free to let me know if there's anything major I may have missed. And I look forward to interacting!!!

*PINNED POST

greetings, fellow proxy ! the name's adam. 24. I'm trans (ftm) with he/they pronouns. bisexual. white. I live in the UK (GMT+1) & this is my blog for Wise, one of the dual protags of Zenless Zone Zero. this blog will be just like my multi (hcpebled) in that it'll be for fun & I'll write when the mood strikes. this blog is 21+. I hope you all have fun here too! please note Wise will be a mix of lore & headcanon ( & canon divergence when it should arise ). please find my carrd here (all information copied beneath the cut in case of any access issues). personals do not engage.

*icon border credit

Name: Wise

Age: 21-23

SO: Bisexual

Identity: Male (trans, ftm).

Pronouns: He/They

Occupation: Owner of Random Play (video store) and famed Proxy "Phaethon"

Family: Belle (sister, alive)

A citizen of New Eridu, Wise, along with his sister, Belle, are the owners of Random Play, a video store that also serves as their home & the base of their operations as Proxies, individuals that guide others through the Hollows, distorted dimensions full of supernatural danger.

**SPOILERS**

After a job gone wrong - their computer systems hacked, their friends in danger, their Proxy account washed away in a sea of data and corruption - Wise ends up accepting the help (and eternal presence) of Fairy, a powerful AI to help navigate the Hollows. Here is where their story begins.

01. Hi there! The name's Adam. I'm 24, trans (he/they), white, bi, and I'm livin' in the UK. My activity fluctuates between all my blogs depending on inspiration and other factors - work & mental health mostly. But I always try to drop in & have fun when I can.I do not interact with anyone below the age of 21 - purely for comforts sake & due to the content that my blog may have.

02.TRIGGERS & TAGGING

Please tag anything related to clowns, moths, and harry potter. this blog is a no-go zone for HP/JKR related stuff, so I tend to go out of my way to avoid it regardless, but just in case. I will try to tag my content appropriately but if there are any tags missing, feel free to drop an Ask/IM and I shall make sure to tag where I can!

03. SHIPPING AND NSFW I love shipping. I love exploring a variety of dynamics. So please, feel free to come talk with me about them! If we start something and end up not feeling it, that's okay too! there's always other opportunities!There will be NSFW on this blog but it will be tagged "nsft tw" and usually under a read more.

04.INTERACTIONS Usually memes/unprompted asks are the best way to start interactions with me, or even just dropping a DM to discuss stuff! I ocassionally do starter/plotting calls too.

RE: memes. I don't enjoy my notifs getting cluttered, so when rb'ing a meme, please try and reblog from the source. I understand ofc that some blogs no longer exist/tumblr isn't always great with redirecting, so don't worry if you have to reblog it from when there's no choice otherwise!

05.Let it be clear that no hateful behaviour will be tolerated here. racism, homophobia, zionism, etc. don't be a twat. I am a fan of the block button.~

06.EXTRAS Just in the case that you feel you wish to unfollow/not interact in any regard - that's perfectly fine, all I ask is you hardblock me to avoid any awkward confusion. besides that I don't really have much left to say here! I hope you enjoy my muses and that we get to write together and have a great time!

𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐕𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐒 ( 𝐎𝐑 ) 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐈 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐏 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐘𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐌𝐁. INDEPENDENT FALLOUT BASED MULTI FEATURING CANONS AND OCS FROM NEW VEGAS, FALLOUT TV, AND FALLOUT 1. 21+ & MUTUALS ONLY. PLEASE READ RULES BEFORE INTERACTING.

by scout (27, any pronouns).

note: my fallout tv verse is adjusted to mesh better with new vegas canon. more information on that here. (link leads to fallout tv spoilers; proceed with caution).

roster includes (primaries bolded; the rest are secondary): albert cole, alejandro "cash" castillo (vegas & ncr based oc), arcade gannon, benny, betty zhao (vegas based oc), boone, cooper howard, courier six (sasha dubrovhsky, alias boris medvedev), lucy maclean, maximus, ulysses, & veronica santangelo.

you can find more thorough descriptions of characters here, including links to bios.

to interact: if we're mutuals, shoot me a meme, send me an ask, or dm me! provided i'm following you, i am open to interaction or plotting whenever, and will respond when i can.

rules:

001. i'm generally comfortable with most subject matter covered in fallout canon (within reason - there are some things handled by fallout that i personally think were handled very poorly, and i am certainly highly critical of the media, which does include grievances with new vegas, and there will sometimes be criticism of it on this blog), but i won't write incest, rape / csa, etc, and will block those who do / who fetishize anything of the sort.

no racism, antisemitism, zionism, (and if you think those latter two are the same thing, dni) etc will be tolerated. terfs dni. the usual. i won't interact with muses from harry potter, peaky blinders, attack on titan, or detroit: become human / other david cage games. i may not follow multis back if they have content on them that i worry my mutuals might not be comfortable with as well, and tend to be quite wary given past experiences. i will also sometimes block or softblock if i see interactions with people or characters i'm not entirely comfortable with for whatever reason. indie is a little weird and, as previously mentioned, i've had some strange experiences. i encourage controlling your own space in the indie world. for that reason, i'll never take a block personally. also on that note, if we're mutuals and you see me interacting with someone who has, for lack of a better phrase, done some harmful shit, feel free to send me a dm and let me know.

while i'm not personally comfortable disclosing my ethnicity online - it is something that i've been taught to hide when possible - except to people i know and trust and talk to, i will disclose that i do look to new vegas as something to process and explore certain aspects of my identity and family history. i do have intergenerational trauma and that is another reason i may use the block button quite liberally/be either slow to follow back or not follow back at all in some cases as i have seen a lot of interpretations of canon (as well as numerous aspects of canon itself) that i don't feel okay with at all. i expect that people do their research when writing cultures and situations they're not familiar with, and try to meet that expectation myself.

002. minors dni. i'm an adult, and i only want to write with adults.

003. i'm fine with shipping but i like to build rapport between characters first and figure out where they stand. rivalry, friendship, etc are also plots i value - my focus won't entirely be on shipping.

004. best way to start interacting if we're mutuals is just to shoot me a meme or a dm - i guarantee that if i follow you, i'd like to write.

005. if i don't follow back, it's likely because i'm unsure of your rules (aka certain things aren't touched on and i'm not sure where you stand), or if i can't see us interacting. nothing personal.

006. i usually don't write nsfw on tumblr! if i do, it will not be the main focus of the thread. don't mind if others write it, nor do i mind prompts that allude to it, but if i'm writing it i'd prefer it not be the whole story, if that makes sense, and i'd also prefer only to write it with people that i've known for a while.

007. themes present on this blog will sometimes be heavy - canon is heavy. content warnings for colonialism, violence, militarism, fascism, allusions to genocide, allusions to slavery, assimilation, indoctrination, intergenerational trauma, and post traumatic stress disorder. i will tag things whenever possible. if there is anything you need tagged in particular that i miss, or if i ever make a mistake, feel free to reach out and let me know so i can course correct.

[jooniperbonsai]

about me

first thing to note, I have a zero-tolerance policy for racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism, and ableist bullshit. if I see you interacting with my content in a way that is discriminatory, I'll see to it that you're blocked.

i discourage minors from interacting with or reading my work. if you're under 18, you don't have any business here.

[cupidzgf]

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ 𝗥𝗨𝗟𝗘𝗦

i am going to make this as simple and easy as possible. if we can all follow these basic boundaries and rules, then this can be a fun place!

first and foremost, minors. i do not mind if minors interact with my non nsfw posts. they will be tagged that way, and warnings will always be there to let you know if it's safe or not. (if the post is spicy but not full smut, it counts as NSFW, sorry!)

however, do not expect the same treatment for NSFW works. if i see ageless/minor blogs interacting with my smut, reblogged smut, or anything NSFW, i'm blocking you. i have warnings on every post, and by now, you should have seen it on enough of nsfw posts to know that minors aren't allowed. you should know better by this point. no excuses.

(also, i curse on this blog. i never met anyone who had a problem with it, but just in case you don't like it, don't follow)

I may write about mature or heavy topics such as alcohol, drugs, smoking, mental health, etc... please read the warnings and use your discretion. i would recommend that only adults read it, but ultimately, it's your choice. please don't blame me.

i don't tolerate any form of hate or violence. whether it be disrespect, racism, misogyny, islamophobia, homophobia, or zionism, none of it is allowed on this page, and you will be blocked and, depending on the severity, reported. 

do not by any means bring up topics such as rape, pedophilia, incest, etc...(you get the picture). 

i may write about mental health issues, but that does not mean i want discussions about it. tagging, sending, or texting in my inbox about big trigger topics like suicide, self-harm, eating disorders, and intrusive thoughts will get you blocked without a second thought. 

politics and religion, personal questions, or venting are not permitted in my inbox. 

because this is a secondary blog, i can not be your mutual. sorry.

i do post or reblog spoilers but i will tag them as such!

on a lighter note, i very much enjoy interaction. tumblr is an incredible space to make friends in a community of your favorite interests, so please don't be afraid to talk!!!

WRITING RULES 

right now requests are open. thirsts are welcome, and if i'm feeling it, i may write something for it, but please don't expect it

my writing is mainly directed toward female or afab readers. I will occasionally do gender-neutral. 

i perfer not to write the reader with a specific race, religion, disorder, etc...

i may and will write for characters who are minors, but i will never age them up to write smut about them, so please don't ask. 

i don't write about any hate, daddy kink, scat, vomiting, hard bdsm, vore, feet, gore involved in sex (no blood at all), noncon, incest, pedophilia, piss, raceplay, ageplay, sado-masochism, gunplay, (ill add when i think of more. a rule of thumb if your wondering whether or not to send it, if it's hardcore or involves some form of violence i probably wouldn't send it!) 

if you don't see me currently talking about a fandom, then i am probably not a part of it and have no interest in writing it. 

please remember that i have a hectic life outside of tumblr and i have had requests take months before. patience is all i ask of you. if i can't get to it or for whatever reason can't do it i will pm you or if you're an anon, post it on my blog so you know and can ask another writer if you want.  

this brings me to my next point: don't send the same request to multiple blogs. i've had it happen before. it's shitty. don't do it. 

PROCEEDING FROM THIS POINT YOU HAVE AGREED TO MY RULES AND CONDITIONS. DISRESPECT OR DISREGARD OF MY RULES, WHICH YOU HAVE AGREED TO BY CONTINUING ONTO MY BLOG, WILL RESULT IN ME TAKING NECESSARY ACTION. IF YOU DON'T AGREE, DON'T FOLLOW. 

thank you, guys for all of your love and support. you're amazing. have a great day, lovelies!!! 💗

NOW THAT YOU'VE READ THIS, ENJOY! ⇢ m.list

[anarchotahdigism]

The Kingdom of Israel existed for roughly 200 years in what was broadly known as Palestine. There was no grand unification of Jewish Palestinian lands under Israel nor was it held sacred or even especially beloved. It was just another kingdom that rose to power and fell which had Judaism as its state religion. The Palestinian people have occupied the land for 4,000 years and their homeland is broadly what we recognize as pre-occupation Palestine, though sometimes it stretched into what is now known as Lebanon, up to Syria, and beyond Jordan. The Jewish Palestinians who left Palestine did so either through the Babylonian conquest and occupation as slaves, through displacement under Roman occupation, to some small extent under Arab conquest and occupation, but primarily through marrying Roman and Greek occupiers and bringing Judaism to Europe through marriage. In other words, they chose to leave and Palestinians remained behind in Palestine. The persecution of Jewish people broadly began and remained in Europe for centuries. It should be noted too that the Israeli occupation in the 1950s carried out terror attacks in parts of Asia and Africa to induce Jewish people to come settle in the Israeli occupation as "Mizrahi." They were given at best second class citizenship and face widespread discrimination today. Zionism is inherently antisemitic. It posits that Jewish people cannot have homes or safety with anyone other than Jewish people and Zionism specifically means "white European-descended settler-colonists" when referencing Jewish people. Jewish people of any other decent are at best second class citizens. Most are denied citizenship, residency, most neoliberal human rights, and face constant discrimination and repression by white Jewish people. Wherever Jewish people choose to live and build communities, those are Jewish homes and lives. An occupation of stolen indigenous land justified by religious myth narratives cannot provide anything but terror and suffering. However, by fighting antisemitism and Zionism, we can and do create places that are safe for Jewish people to live and insodoing cut off the Israeli occupation's supply of colonists and materiel while proving that there is never a need or justification for a theocratic ethnosupremacist regime because Jewish people are people and they are part of our lives, our loves, our communities. Palestinians long accepted, encouraged, and aided people of all faiths from outside Palestine to join their communities, to acculturate and become Palestinians. Palestine originated Judaism and Christianity and has for thousands of years before and since been broadly tolerant and welcoming of other faiths so long as the adherents were tolerant and integrating into Palestinian culture. Zionists posit religion to grant indigeneity because they cannot and will not accept that they are inherently not indigenous, but white conquerors who practice a Levantine religion while massacring its most ancient indigenous adherents. They came from Europe to purchase land from British occupiers and from Nazi Reich middle men, claiming it was their right of return, while ensuring that their massacres and oppression included Jewish Palestinians, whom they style now as "Arab Jews." Zionism is a white supremacist ideology. The Israeli occupation explicitly intends to invade and occupy the Levant from the Sinai and Lebanon all the way to western Iran. The Israeli regime explicitly intends to wage a war of extermination on all the indigenous people within this area, and as a Persian, I can promise you that the resistance the Israeli occupation faces now is nothing compared to what that kind of full regional war would unleash. I will not accept an Israeli occupation of my ancestral lands and I already rebuke the oppression of my ethnic cousins by my own ethnicity's supremacist regime in Iran. Like hell I would expect Palestinians to accept their own occupation from anyone but especially from white genociders who commit atrocities justified by racist myths.

some people must realize the existence of the country of israel will not protect jewish people, it will not help with antisemitism, its not ""black and white thinking"" to think the country of israel is unnecessary, and nothing more than a fascist dream unfortunately. I think that making all the jewish people go live in israel to escape antisemitism is kinda antisemetic because i know for a FACT all these politicians are drooling at the mouth sending jewish people to israel so they aren't in their country- its fucking antisemitism im sorry, other people support israel for their OWN personal prejudices and thats not protecting jewish people, it never will.

The kingdom of Israel was something that existed in ancient history, as far as i'm aware it exists now to colonize Palestine, to excuse genocide, and the country of israel has done nothing but push actual antisemitism often for their own needs. People will say they support Palestine and Landback and the liberation of Palestine but you also say that Israel as a country is a necessity for jewish people??? and you think you "support" jewish people?? like ur just a fucking liar then :/ jewish people can live in palestine, alongside palestinians, without colonizing or genociding them. (no im not talking ab a two state solution 🙄)

like are you people even interested in fighting antisemitism? are you really interested in figting systemic antisemitism? Do you Really care about jewish people or do you just not want to look like a antisemite. Like fuck don't say from the river to the sea if you think that israel is a 'necessity' for jewish people when its not.
