dear hashem please make people understand reform jews are observant and not the same thing as areligious jews. dear hashem please make people understand reform jews are not the same thing as secular jews
#secular jews can be reform jews but reform jews are not inherently secular jews#just because i understand the texts differently#and observe differently#doesn’t mean i observe less. or incorrectly. just differently#thanks!#mine#judaism#jewblr#jumblr#reform judaism#antisemitism

small thing I find really adorable about Jamil:
I really like how you can tell when he's smiling in a "controlled" and "for the camera" way like it's his typical smug smirk ⬆
versus when he actually can't completely hide his joy/excitement ⬇ you can see he looks more candid and ✨sparkly✨and happy
he thinks he hides his emotions so well. he thinks he controls his image perfectly. he does not realize he is kawaii 😤
#twisted wonderland#twst#jamil viper#syder txt#u could claim i am making this up or hallucinating#but u see i observe him under a microscope#therefore i am 100% correct#its one of those if you know him you will notice it kind of details imo#two different types of >:)#you just have to believe me#twst jp spoilers#the ny groovy just got me staring at his face bc hes so cute

silly comic based on a time i struggled to read live on stream :thumbsup:
context clip compilation below ASDASDFASA
(cw for brief mention of hospitals/strokes)
#in stars and time#isat#isat odile#isat siffrin#isat spoilers#<- not big ones but the convo this stems from occurs on 3rd floor before king act 2 so#cw hospital#cw stroke#<- brief stroke talk in the clip thats why#odile i am so sorry for making u deal with the fact that i cant read#or just input words?? where there arent any??? i dont know why i do that????#these streams have made me realize i sometimes just autofill words when reading SAFADDA#also random side headcanon i was thinking of while drawing this#is odile speaks alot with her hands?#idk why i just think its fun?#and kinda makes sense as someone who has travelled a lot thru different countries?#personal observation but you can convey/tell a lot without knowing a much of a different language via body language#as someone who grew up with family who spoke a different language that i do not speak LMAO#especially hands!! those say a lot!!#reading body langauge/tone helped me a lot when guessing if what was being talked about a good thing or not#tho tone to a lesser extent since uh it can be hard to tell at times i think ASDFDA#so it makes sense to me???#the art of pointing in general location is a universal skill i think?? yea#to a lesser extent i think siffrin might do this? but more subdued/under the cloak so#the cloak ends up getting in the way 90% of the time so no one can actually see that lmao#okay tag talk over#no stream time today because weather boooooo storms

Ok don't jump at me but from what I'm observing, BatCat is a relationship about lust and sex and Brutalia is a relationship about love and devotion.
#this is not an insult#im open to different views#this is my observation#bruce wayne#talia al ghul#selina kyle#brutalia#batcat#batman#catwoman#dc#dc comics#batfamily#batfam#yeah im not gonna think twice before sending it#probably a hot take

"Do the Evolution" - Pearl Jam
#this specific lyric of the song reminded me soooo much of dutch/john and hosea/arthur#obviously john is very different from dutch but i think there is a reason why he was considered to be dutch's favourite son#john seems closer to dutch in a similar way arthur is with hosea but in a different manner i think. there is obviously a tension present#dutch is observant but only when he wants to be (otherwise i think he would have kicked micah out of the gang a long time ago)#john is just observant. he saw first-hand what happened in blackwater and is sus of dutch throughout the rest of the game#he isnt as dumb or slow as he calls himself#i read a meta about it and it explains it 1000x better than i can#as for hosea/arthur the parallels are already obvious enough#also i am quite a fan of pearl jam so teehee i had to make the selfish parallel#might make more like this idk#rdr#rdr2#red dead redemption#red dead redemption 2#arthur morgan#rdr2 arthur morgan#dutch van der linde#rdr2 dutch van der linde#john marston#rdr2 john marston#hosea matthews#rdr2 hosea matthews#outlaws for life#pearl jam#ranna song quotes

Leo getting hit with a truth curse but instead of forcing him to admit to super sad or worrying things it’s things like “it was me who broke the remote” “I saw Mikey prank Donnie and helped hide it because it’s way funnier if he didn’t know who it was” “I rip my clothes to look more like Raph’s because he’s really cool” “my stripes aren’t even red they’re pink!”
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rise leo#plot twist he COULD be admitting angsty stuff but he’s pushing the less oof truths forward instead on purpose#raph: hey leo what do you want for dinner#leo: *about to bare his soul on all his internal torment but pivots* I’m afraid of snakes#(no but fr Leo’s stripes being technically more pink instead of red is cute ngl)#(a very reddish pink to the point that in certain lighting it looks red but at the base they’re p pink)#(i also am very fond of the idea that Leo doesn’t just have questionable taste in fashion he also just loves Raph a lot and looks up to him)#but yeah I think that something like this would be 99% Leo admitting to unimportant things or admitting to how much he values everyone#like they all KNOW Leo loves them and he’s talked them up enough for them to know but it’s different when he’s like#‘I just wanna read my comics with you guys around - it’s my favorite place to be’#or again just random bs that doesn’t REALLY have a lot of weight like#‘I like using my portals to prank random people around the world’#‘I’m worried about being a bad influence on hueso jr’#‘sometimes I kinda wanna see hypno’s plans succeed’#‘it’s been way too long since I found this out and honestly it’s embarrassing but I actually don’t have a di-‘#SORRY COULDNT HELP MYSELF#(<-but did u know that that pink rather than red observation actually ties into this headcanon as well if u know about red eared sliders)

I love how a well-written romance is so often structured as a mystery. A person starts with a certain idea about another person, and over the course of the story, they uncover more evidence that gives them a fuller picture of who the other person truly is. They learn about layers to the personality and backstory that give the other person more depth. They learn how the other person's personality meshes with theirs. Even the third-act misunderstanding fits the mystery structure--it looks like they've uncovered the final secret to the other person's identity, which is that they're not the worthy person they seemed to be, but then discover that they misinterpreted that evidence, or the other person takes steps to apologize and repair the level of trust. When the mystery is resolved, they've reached a full understanding of each other and know they've found a partner they can trust their whole future to.
#also comedy works along a mystery structure#so a romantic comedy is like a double mystery#two different types of mystery clashing with each other and causing hilarity before the truth is finally revealed#if nothing else this batb diversion will spark some interesting romance thoughts#this came to me because i've been slowly rereading beth brower's 'the q'#and i just hit the scene where quincey gets to observe arch outside of work for the first time#just a lovely moment of revelation#and i think that's the one thing that story does really well#and the author in general is very good at applying this mystery dynamic to all her character dynamics whether romantic or platonic#i rarely find myself able to believe in the strength of her characters' bonds that are supposed to exist before the story started#but the developing relationships are so good because of this endless uncovering of mysteries deepening the bonds in a very compelling way#adventures in writing

Why do you always use that to piss me off? ...It makes me happy. We agreed that I'm in charge of the bars. But you come here all the time to watch me. How am I supposed to lead my people? Use your head, okay? Suit yourself. What's the matter? Chen Yi. Chen Yi! [...] Don't make me worry.
Chen Bowen as CHEN YI & Chiang Tien as AI DI KISEKI: DEAR TO ME (2023)
#kiseki: dear to me#kisekiedit#kdtm#kiseki dear to me#ai di x chen yi#chen yi x ai di#nat chen#chen bowen#louis chiang#chiang tien#jiang dian#userspring#userspicy#userrain#uservid#pdribs#userjjessi#*cajedit#*gif#your honor i would like to remind you and the jury that ai di is faking drunk at this time#at the most he is a little tipsy and Definitely pretending to be asleep.#now your honor please observe in the fifth gif ai di slinging his other arm around chen yi's neck. while ''''''asleep''''''#as well as the way it slides back down chen yi's shoulder and how he clearly puts it back to get a better grip#and next your honor i would like to direct your attention to the last gif. and the way ai di's fingers curl when zherui says#'love and admiration are different'. not only do they curl but they pinch. do you see?#as you can see from this evidence he is very aware of the conversation and desperately in need of chen yi's affection and attention#.............and its better than the goddamn darcy hand flex in my Personal Opinion. act your fucking heart out diandian.#and NOW observe the caption. by combining the conversation where chen yi drove off angrily with the one where he comes back for ai di#you can see that the Real reason he was upset was bc ai di was pushing him away#& he came back for him anyway. he just wants to be close to ai di all his actions & feelings are ai di-centered even when the topic is cdy

lowkey i think people overpathologize cam’s whole thing, i think generally she’s reacting rationally, or at least about as well as you can ask from a person, to some really difficult stuff. like excuse her for acting weird when she was processing the very young death of the person she thought she was going to spend her life with, in an unfamiliar and unstable environment far from home, where her entire support system was a hypocritical dying woman she’d never meshed very well with and coronabeth tridentarius
#they made her wear a shock anklet. and they used it#and she wasn’t even carrying those bones for purely emotional reasons. she actually needed them for something she was trying to do#judith said she was crazy. and people take that to mean she actually is crazy#instead of just observing how different judith and camilla are as people and how they have never really been compatible with each other#and frankly that whole story is about watching judith entirely fail to understand herself and things around her due to her flawed worldview#so like. why people take her analysis of camilla seriously i don’t know#post tag#tlt#disclaimer. ‘hypocritical’ isn’t an insult. judith fans might disagree with my use of the word hypocritical. i’m not married to it#it just seems approximately accurate

Well, folks, happy 10th expiration date! I rewatched the video and here are some things I noticed.
Some of Engie's wrenches on the wall! Looks like a stock, eureka effect, and southern hospitality. There might've been a jag on the other side of the southern hospitality but it was hard to see and I could just be a mistaken jag stan. 🔧
Who are these other people with masks in this photo on Spy's wall? Other spies?
This painting on the wall in Spy's smoking room/ Napoleon Crossing the Alps by Jacques-Louis David. Spy clearly thinks pretty highly of himself, to say the least, lol.
You can tell Spy has practiced backstabbing this dummy. Also, that face. Hehe.
The table cloth has TF2 logos on it.
Some of the books behind Scout include "dating for frickin morons", "so you're going to die...", "bonk! cola's dating guide", "being friends and getting naked", "first dating book", and "how not to sound stupid". Also, that face too.
And lastly, though this picture is obviously not from the video, it is interesting that this came out 2 days after father's day, hmm...
#i have other observations i might note in a different post but im gonna call this one done for now#tf2#team fortress 2#expiration date#scout tf2#spy tf2#my post

Pro tip. And a neutral observation believe it or not.
If you’re engaging with a story constructed on a more mythical level. And you have to twist a character into something more mundane to justify hating them or liking them. You don’t hate or like the character. You just don’t know how to engage with them as-written and you’re projecting something familiar to avoid the discomfort.
#genre literacy#not media literacy btw#two different skill sets#over-identification is the death of reading comprehension#neutral observation btw#this is a thing the brain does automatically#fills in gaps in experience with something familiar

Prompt 68
Danny stares up up up at the being cooing down at him, a mass of eyes and tendrils and whatever else twisting in and out of portals, shattering to sand and reforming, buckling into a smaller shape and expanding in an ever moving form. This was not what he was expecting when Clockwork offered to introduce him to Chaos, but maybe he shouldn’t be so surprised.
Bonus DPxDC crossover: Clockwork introduced his lil baby ghostling to his old friend Chaos so they can set up playdates between their two kids. Klarion and Teekl are now being spotted with a white-haired boy and a green puppy that can go giant and monstrous like Teekle, to Young Justice’s (And the league’s) concern
#danny phantom#prompts#dcxdp#dpxdc#Clockwork and Chaos are akin to siblings#Now that the observants are gone he's free to adopt danny#And introduce him to his family#clockwork#danny fenton#klarion the witch boy#Klarion#Klarion is so excited to have an equally chaotic cousin whose twice as feral#DC universe is the equivalent of the daycare center for a bunch of primordial beings#They drop their kids off to have fun#Danny: Pops says I don't have to deal with consequences if I become the consequence for someone named Flash messing with time#Klarion is a slightly older kid whose already been to the daycare giving the tour to their bby sibling whose there for their first day#He doesn't mean to injure the young justice but with realms being uh#fighting is how you make friends#there's some culture differences happening#He's trying to make friends and the YJ crew are attacking and fighting so they must want to be friends too!#he doesn't like dr fate because he hurt Teekl when he was trying to play and that's so *mean*#He's gonna kick his ass if he tries to do the same thing to Cujo#Klarion is going to be so excited when he learns he has *three* whole new baby cousins#and one even destroyed a world already how adorable!

this might be controversial but i actually think it’s more interesting and perhaps even more in the spirit of the narrative if we don’t make garrus’ dad out to be some super swell guy who was right all along and whose only mistake was getting saddled with a headstrong child who couldn’t see reason. actually. it’s also funnier imo if the relationship is more than one-sidedly dysfunctional
#it doesn’t mean he doesn’t love his family. but idk i enjoy nuance and gray areas lol#i think garrus and his dad are probably alike in many ways and then just Different enough to make all the points of overlap really chafe#but we know garrus. we barely know his father. i suppose i just don’t understand the impulse#to give this stranger all the benefit of the doubt when they were the adult in the equation#ya know?#anyway this isn’t discourse i’m just thinking out loud you do you <3#i’ve observed this tendency in fandom for a year now this isn’t about any one post

The man with Yellow Eyes
Wanted to post Gman's new design for my au, Aftermath
#half life#gman#HL Aftermath au#Aftermath Gman#eye contact tw#shmorps art#Aftermath gman is silly I like him. I've been trying to make like. the au characters i make more. different from one another#And the Gmen are an example. they have different clothing and act slightly differently#Like. I think Aftermath gman is more of an observer rather than like. actually interfering with things.#Haven't gone in depth with them yet but yeah-

I'm allowed to make this joke, but I love that Jewish death rituals are like:
"Pfeh, for what should I spend $12,000 on a big fekakte box they see only for five minutes before they cover it with dirt?"
"Don't waste my good suit what might fit my nephew Lev if the bum should ever even try to get a real job!"
"Embalming? Don't mind me, I'll rot in the dark."
#There is standardized Yiddish transliteration and I fart in it's general direction#Anyway Jewish ritual plain box simple shift closed casket no embalming#Spend money on bagels for after#There are a lot of prescribed behaviors for how to behave at the Shiva (mourning house calls)#My family observes none of them. We treat it like a family reunion#If you want all my petty family funeral drama though maybe a different post?#But seriously Christian funerals are such a huge scam. Taking advantage of people at their most vulnerable.#If you have an iron stomach go read about what happens to a corpse when it decays in a vacuum sealed coffin#Death#Death rituals#Judaism#jewish#Jumblr#Jew stuff#post o' mine#Clearing out the drafts#Offensive Yiddish accent clich��s are for Jews only.#For this we came to America? To get made fun of on the feygele website by our great grandchildren?

...she’s not quite fast enough to make it pass by her in a blur.
it is an INTERNATIONAL HOLIDAY aka @milkywayes's birthday!!!! i wanted to draw a scene from chapter 1 of her amazing fic "dreamt a cipher". everyone in the entire world needs to read it imo, it is a masterclass of storytelling matched only by her own skill in art!!! happy happy birthday bestie!!!!!!
#drawlings#mass effect#femshep#commander shepard#this is actually a redraw of the first cipher fanart i made#it was of a different scene but still of shepard observing neptune#but i didn't like how it turned out... i like to think i've done it more justice here <3#SORRY this is so late btw i nearly missed the end of the day for you </3#i spent a lot of time on this and i probably would continue to fiddle with it if it wasn't almost midnight for you
