Side characters I love for Trilogy Appreciation Week.

The list is obviously not complete and some obvious choices (like Mouse, David Archer, Charr or the teenager and the turian from the Citadel) aren't there (they're in my heart, making me cry).

Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani: My favorite quote from the trilogy comes from a conversation between Shepard and Khalisah, where they tell her: "Keep asking the hard questions." I think Khalisah seeks justice in an injust world. That's my interpretation at least, and it seems to me that she has suffered a lot. And she's angry, because a lot of the time it feels like she's screaming into the void. But she needs to hear this from Shepard and I think Khalisah will go on to keep asking hard questions, as she should.

Gianna Parasini: A classic!!!! I love the way she was so eager to destroy Anoleis but just waited and bid her time. She seemed so sweet talking about the board and how may she help Shepard? The entire time she's like 💅and 👀. And I'm always happy to see her in ME2

The salarian who makes this face during Miranda's loyalty mission. He makes me laugh SO HARD every time

Din Korlack: I'm not a huge fan of his actions in ME3 but I do think the Din we meet in ME1 is one of the first characters who dare to oppose the whole "humans are wonderful, they deserve a seat on the Council" narrative and I always appreciated his character for that. He has good points about the Council, and the way they treat species like the volus and the elcor.

The salarian who asks Shepard to stop touching the console on Sur'Kesh. I love when NPCs are given lines that you remember and actually want to hear.

Donovan Hock: the man is horrible but he's such a diva. The art he has, the giant head looking down on intruders, some of his over top line. I love the sheer drama he brings

Vigil and Vendetta: the way they appear, the music, the knowledge that we are witnessing an historic conversation... It's just incredible every time 

Tela Vasir: I love her. I just do. 

Blasto and Bubin: the best partners!!!!!!!!!!

This is not a perfect analogy but I am making it anyway to try to convey what being online has been like for me lately.

Seeing people say "Oh, Jews are fine, I just hate zionists!" is like seeing "Oh, women are fine, I just hate feminists!"

Zionism and feminism are both very broad socio-political movements that have changed focus over time, that ostensibly have some very basic core tenets but you really need to ask the specific person you're talking to how they personally define it to be sure.

Both have been subject to legitimate criticism, and hostile reactionary bullshit. Had waves, sub-movements, splinters, people with damn near opposite views sharing the term and people with seemingly identical views rejecting it.

You can give working, broad definitions like these:

Feminism is the belief that all people should be treated equally regardless of gender, with a focus on women's rights due to systemic oppression.

Zionism is the belief that all peoples have the right to self determination and safety, with a focus on Jewish people finding it in Israel.

You can also give different definitions! Many people give different definitions! Many people also hold these beliefs but use different names for them for various reasons.

There are self-described zionists who are jingoistic, racist, etc, and who attribute those attitudes to their zionism. Just as there are feminists who are misandrist, bio-essentialist, transphobic, homophobic, and so on, who attribute those attitudes to their feminism.

There are also incredibly selfless, compassionate activists working for positive change in the world who consider themselves zionists and feminists.

It has been very jarring to see people, who I respect, uncritically reblogging posts or headlines that use "zionists" as a stand in for "bad people", just as jarring as it would be to see them sharing things that use "feminists" that way. Especially when those posts contain easily debunked conspiracy theories that I know you'd have seen right through if the OP said "Jews" but because they said "zionists" you swallowed it whole.

I am not asking anyone to stop sharing important information, petitions, news articles, resources, and so on. I am asking you to slow down and stop spreading inflammatory language that paints a broad socio-political movement for Jewish self-determination as inherently bad. The same way I would ask you not to spread inflammatory language that paints gender equality & women's liberation as inherently bad.

If the information is important, please look for other, more neutrally worded posts. Or verify the links yourself and make a fresh post! There is no situation online in which the only way to share information must be to spread such language.

Hello hello! It's been a hot minute ( mainly because I'm kicking around on my new blog ) but I've finally decided how I'm going to handle what i owe here

I will be dropping anything i can't formulate a near immediate response to. That includes drafts and asks. Part of my reluctance to be on here is due to what I owe and the lack of inspiration for these replies. If i can't think of any way to outline them or full out write them over the weekend, it's getting booted.

Additionally, I will be going through my followers and sb'ing people i either haven't interacted with at this point ( and they arent new mutuals ) and/or they've been inactive for... however long. I don't usually announce things like this and just use my own discretion but I don't want there to be any question about whether or not I've sb'ed someone ( though anyone is welcome to ask why if they feel the need to ). If you want to use this opportunity to break mutuals, feel free to. I'm not gonna stop you. Doesn't mean I hate you or anything, as stated in my rules, so I ask that no one takes it that way.

I'm also going to be removing 2 muses from the available roster. They'll be available as npcs and only upon request if we already have something going with them or pertaining to them

I'll also be assigning a limited status to 2 others, as I feel like while I have muse for them, I will no longer be offering them out for interactions unless--again--we already have something going already. These muses can be requested but I reserve the right to say no.

One muse will removed entirely and will likely be available for discord interactions only.

Please see the list below the cut. I'll be changing it on the blog later on and adding it to my rules as well.

If anyone wants or needs my discord,it is princemorsh. If you see the display name fat yoshi, that is me. You can also find me @ @frznwarmth or @parabelllvm. Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

"If you hurt me, then I'm sure you had reason to. I can't remember... it must have been merely a spat."

I've had a busy busy week, but by Thursday I think things will die down. I wanted to make something in the meantime. Some lore down below the cut

Shams hasn't completely lost their memory, and remembers that they are the eldest of the bishops. Some days they remember things more than other days.

So in my own personal cult lore, they think most of the time that Leshy has just ascended as a bishop. In early days after being converted to the Cult, they said things like "do not forget to guide our newest brother" and "have you met the youngest bishop?" Eventually, the years (and patience of the cult) wore this away and they live a relatively peaceful life, only able to enjoy the little things and not wanting much more.

Narinder is left with a guilt he's not fully able to recover from. As he descends from the power and madness of the Red Crown, slowly mellowing out, becoming more in tune with the emotions of others and himself, he begins to miss the advice of Shamura who fought very hard to change the prophecy and protect their brother from turning against them. He doesn't want his apology to be accepted, but rather to be hated and persecuted. However, Shamura only remembers loving Narinder and wanting to protect him. And every time, after a few days they don't recall Narinder confessing his actions against them, which leads to him telling them over and over and never getting any kind of closure.

And that is the poetic justice of it all: all five bishops never able to heal from the heinous crimes of one very selfish individual.
