Krisnix Week 2024
We are pleased to officially announce the dates and themes for Krisnix Week 2024. The event will be happening this October 13- 19. We have prepared a list of 3 recommended prompts for each of the days. Do not be afraid to embrace less-conventional interpretations of the prompts, focus on only one prompt per day (or at all) , combine multiple prompts or ignore the prompts entirely.
We look forward to seeing where creativity takes us! Additional info will be coming at a later date, but we wanted to go ahead and announce the dates and prompts now, so you have plenty of time to mull this over.
Happy Krisnix-ing !

I think one thing people don't take into account with Thad, especially when it comes to his post-Impulse appearances, is anger.
Specifically, how it is such a strong motivator and how it is not always rational. How he still goes after Bart in his post-Impulse comic appearances makes sense when you look at it from the perspective of anger and how Thad is such a prideful individual.
His actions can easily be chalked up to displaced anger towards Bart because 1.) He can't exactly go after President Thawne because he views him as a father/his creator (I assume standing up to him would be incredibly difficult because he views him in such a way but also Pres. Thawne's also proven himself to be manipulative and controlling) and 2.) because Bart had a part in essentially ruining his life or at least the perception of life being good. Bart played a part in shattering the truths of Thad's life. Thad thought his life was fine, that he was going to make his family proud of him, that he had a part in it, that he was family to the Thawnes, but instead he learned that he was being used, manipulated, and that he was unloved.
If you, a prideful individual had your perception of reality shattered by someone would you take a helping hand from the person who shattered your reality? I think not. So instead he goes after Bart. He's someone that Thad can actually hurt. Someone he can take his emotions out on. It's misguided and maybe not rational to the readers who understand his situation better than he does, but Thad is a misguided character.
I think his anger towards Bart is what prominently drives him post-Impulse actions and that it should be taken into account more.
#Thad Thawne#Thaddeus Thawne#Inertia#This could have been a full meta post but i have spared you all. These are the broad strokes. You're welcome.#ooc#Thad Meta#//my post might be a bit bleh but anger is important and his actions against Bart make sense in my opinion post impulse.#at the end of Impulse i don't see a character who would take a helping hand. I see an angry teenager who just had their world shattered.#I wouldn't want anyone touching me or looking at me the wrong way in that moment.#Like yeah I can see post-impulse going differently if Thad calmed down looked at his life and say his options.#But I don't think he's thinking rationally post-impulse#he's latching on to the first answer he's got in anger. and it's that Bart ruined his life in my opinion and long term examination of Thad'#character.#He's shifting blame. He's angry. He's putting the onus on someone he can hold the consequences to. So. Displaced anger. That's my answer.

Thinking thoughts about those from Cuivienen and how they later treated the Valar, especially after Cuivienen was destroyed.
I imagine a foundation of sorrow and a layer of betrayal and pettiness. They had promised safety. And how did it turn out? Kin of Tata and Tatie their first leaders, slain in Valinor by the Dark Hunter from which the Valar promised protection in Valinor.
And then, the War of Wrath comes and with it the destruction of Cuivienen.
If any of those were re-embodied in Aman, I wonder if they make it a point to always turn their back to Valar and Maiar. I wonder if they only speak in the tongue they had first devised all those millennia ago and spoke in Cuivienen before time and different kindreds changed the tongue, not Sindarin or Quenya from the Great Journey's time or later. I wonder if they sing songs in their ancient tongue, songs about the beauty and unsullied health of Cuivienen every time any of the Ainur are near.
I wonder if the Valar feel any shame when those who they once looked upon in wonder and love gaze back at them with indifference or disgust.
#i am so normal about the elves of cuivienen feeling the betrayal worse than anyone in aman including feanor and co#they PROMISED safety from Morgoth and orcs. they PROMISED beautiful lands without sorrow. they PROMISED all that and down the line#decided Mogoth had played pretend well enough to warrant him probation during which he immediately killed again#returns to the east and sullies what beauty had been left. and then even from afar he manages to hurt those from cuivienen with the WoW#dont get me wrong i think the cuivienen elves knew there had to be war against Morgoth for him to be defeated. but the fact that the valar#decided not to only abandon those of beleriand for over 5 centuries before that AND once the war is won also abandon#those of cuivienen to watch their beloved lands drown without as much a warning must sting.#i want there to be a concious decision of 'you abandoned your promise to us twice why should we ever trust you again even in your own lands'#a 'you promised our people who folowed you safety. you didnt deliver. you promised us freedom from morgoth. you didnt deliver. in fact your#inadequacy and decision to let him loose made everything worse for us in the east. why should we ever listen to anything you say'#and thus a concious effort to shed association with Aman as the Valar govern it. they cant leave. the way is shut. but they can establish#a sticking to their own tongue and traditions without the interference of the Ainur. they've done enough. not enough and yet quite enough.#the avari are welcome should some be reborn.#i never know if i want those of cuivienen to be reborn in aman or fade into unexistence entirely both have merit and sexy hcs#but if any were reborn i think they would get along fairly alright with the exiles. kinslaying exiles? 50/50 depending on repentance#but anyone who does not believe the valar's words and respects their decision to not ever be associated with them is welcomed neutral-warmly#they teach them songs about cuivienen. the sweet waters. beautiful meadows. the birdsong that sounds extra cheerful. fish in abundance#and in turn they get taught songs about beleriand. bewitched forests. victorious battles. wild rivers. frothy shores.#it is seen as an honour to be taught a song about Cuivienen by the people who sat by its shores once. in their language/dialect/whatever#instead of in sindarin or quenya. some millenia into the 4th age tou have a surge of ppl speaking cuivienen dialect#it becomes a clear distinction of who still has fondness left for the valar and who would feel indifferent if they vanished suddenly.#this tag essay has gotten way too long again. sorry besties it will happen again.#tag essay longer than the fucking post???? help#tolkien headcanons

i guess while you're studying the blade i shall protect dysphoric people in my humongous blanket full of secrets and treasures and awesome foreign snacks that i totally bought with real money
#lay text#ponderings#op is high tag#kinda..... barely...... very silly post but idk. i care so deeply about ppl suffering like i used to as a detrans woman#dysphoric ppl ilysm i have been in your shoes. those shoes suck they're the worst thing to put your feet into. i'm sorry ur going thru that#if you're misogyny affected i'm in your corner and you deserve to have a place and a voice in radfeminism... or at least tirfism#i advocate for better education abt transition and the destruction of the affirmation-only model of trans/dysphoric healthcare#i hate how the tq+ community is handling dysphoric ppl#and non-dysphoric trans ppl often speak over y'all#if you are here you are probably fed up with the status quo of the tq+ community and how homophobic & misogynistic they can be#you might be realizing that your oppression as an ofab/female person doesn't just disappear thru trans identification or transition#or if you're transfem you might be here bc you hate how ofab/female folks are treated and you hate the anti-homosexual rhetoric#and are looking for a healthy middle ground between discussing anti-transfem oppression without belittling anti-female/ofab oppression#either way so long as you're not misogynistic against cis/bio women & transmascs or homophobic against exclusive same-sex/osab#you're welcome in my corner of radblr. i gotchu#the ableism against dysphoric ppl can get really unhinged#but as someone with a fuckton of disorders who was blessed to have my dysphoria heal i want you to have proper healthcare#and i want to help stop all the painful detransitions happening#(which also backfire as extra transphobia/gncphobia/ableism against trans people anyways)#something needs to change#and i rly think it'll happen on radblr#as imperfect as it is#so yeah. i shall protect anyone with a mental disorder/difference and that includes ppl with debilitating dysphoric disorders#especially misogyny-affected dysphoric people#anyways. ily non-bigoted trans & dysphoric ppl 🧡#take care of urselves. things will get better in the lgbtq community over time i promise#and radblr isn't what it seems at first glance#it has its toxic side ofc but so many good sides too#ty for being here#tirf

Aro culture is wondering if you’re actually aromantic or if it’s just your seveeere intimacy issues.. I literally get awkward over a hug, how could I possibly let someone close to me?
.
#Anonymous#aro culture is#aro#aromantic#actually aro#actually aromantic#ask#mod alexander#idk if it helps but my two cents:#there's a major difference between choosing to not date because you don't want to let people close to you#and not experiencing the attraction to specific individuals#like it's a whole ass major trope in pop culture about people who don't feel 'worthy' or who have general intimacy issues#still *having* attraction but not letting themselves act on it#the question i'd encourage asking is... is there anyone you've ever specifically *wanted* to date in some fantasy form#but decided you couldn't / rejected the thought because you assume that you or that person would be unhappy in a romo relationship?#like ppl who choose not to date are welcome imo to participate in the aro community if they so choose but i think it can help#in this instance at least - to recall that the community started around the concept of not experiencing *attraction*

okay just a lil psa here, i don’t normally do this on this blog bc i’m a person who likes to keep the different facets of my personality very compartmentalized (that’s the disorder babee) and this is gonna be a long ass rant but i don’t have the palestinian flag in my pinned post for funsies.
i’m saying this bc someone i was moots w on twitter started randomly raging about “oh we’re showing those ungrateful far left palestinian foreign agitators that-“ fuck off. i’m serious. fuck all the way off. this is a genocide that has been going on for decades, that got ramped back up to extreme, horrific levels last october and palestinians refusing to endorse kamala without a more concrete plan on pushing for a ceasefire - which isn’t even the bare minimum, it’s tangoing under the fucjing bar - or protesting so that their families aren’t massacred at schools and hospitals aren’t foreign ops or agitators or picking on kamala as if people didn’t have the exact same issue with biden And Trump And obama, are not agitators or ops or whatever. and before anyone is like “do you a support a one or two state solution” i support a solution that allows the complete right of return and self determination for all palestinians across the globe and an end to the apartheid state of israel. however palestinians want that to look is what i support. i have an IDEA of what it will ultimately look like, but i support the right of palestinians to decide what happens in their ancestral home, from the river to the sea. “but what about the hostages” yeah you’re right what about the palestinian hostages big hoss???? also - indiscriminate bombing campaigns have never once actually worked to do anything but revitalize an insurgent population, and you’re dense as hell if you think what’s been happening is going to do anything but make it clearer to palestinians that their only chance of survival is through more attacks & hostage campaigns!!
you wanna call me some sort of foreign agitator when EYE am the one whose family weren’t allowed to be citizens until the 60s despite living on this continent for thousands of years, that i’m out of line for being outspoken & having a hard line on the genocide of another indigenous group?? go right ahead! hope the door bruises your ass on the way out folks! and if you agree that “genocide is bad” great you’re gonna have a bang up time following me!
#like i vote bc i have friends in our local [redacted] collective and it means a lot to them and they do great work#can’t even tell you how many people we got fed and got covid shots and tests to when my mayor was doing jack fucking shit#but if you think calling every single palestinian protest a foreign op is going to help her get elected you are frustratingly arrogant#if u want any more opinion you’re welcome to dm me or send an ask to my fandom or personal#getting on my soap box#but it’s like listen u wanna bq this u wanna ‘well i’m more indifenous than you bc’ baby my mama is legally enrolled#u want to know what it’s like to be a colonized indigenous person in a settler colonial state i’m right fucking here and it’s hell#and i’m not about to stay quiet while what happened to my GRANDPA (not distant relatives! my literal grandfather!!) happens right now#this was on my bb twitter my priv is exclusively for ancoms and mls i don’t follow anyone who isn’t a proven hater of the us government

my (first) thoughts on the iwtv season 2 finale
after seeing 2x08 i have to say i am incredibly satisfied with how this season has ended. this finale felt like a culmination of seasons one and two to me. i also adore the characters and the complexities of their actions and feelings and thought they were all very well portrayed. as for the loose ends, it leaves me w the same feeling i had watching 1x07 – excited for the next season to learn more.
(i'm simultaneously very sad it means we'll have to wait a while again before seeing these characters & the cast after the few last interviews get posted... idk how i survived the drought between seasons one and two in the first place.)
#i am open to discussing it more if anyone wants to#i have to say these are my very first thoughts so i'm just. positively excited#i have seen some criticisms before the ep was officially released here and while i understand them i feel good about the episode tbh#i was kinda going into it expecting to be disappointed though so maybe that ironically helped#but i have to ask#i love you armand where are you#is he taking an underground nap#rip loumand i loved you so much#welcome back loustat#most importantly LOUIS. KING OF PEOPLE'S HEARTS INCLUDING MINE. I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE U OUT ON UR OWN LEARNING TO EMBRACE WHO U ARE.#iwtv#amc iwtv#interview with the vampire#interview with the vampire 2022#iwtv 2022#amc interview with the vampire#my posts#mine#amc's interview with the vampire#amc's iwtv

is anyone else interested in joining my server? not quite ready to invite people yet but should be soon. just gauging interest right now. “like” or reply to this post and when i’m ready i’ll send you an invite.
server will probably be dual purpose.
there will be (1) a semi-public side oriented toward general discussion (topics like politics, books, history, philosophy, religion, media, science, tech, etc) and community building (nothing is set in stone yet but i am imagining activities like book club, movie watching, playing games, contests and giveaways, etc). and there will be (2) a private side dedicated to more focused discussions and internal cult matters.
the server won’t be a “safe space” -- i’m fine with a bit of edge (within ToS. not trying to get terminated.) -- but i do want this server (at least the semi-public side) to be /relatively/ welcoming and civil. so if you’re egregiously toxic or vulgar or prone to shitflinging or sperging out you won’t be welcome here. neither will you be welcome if you’re overly sensitive.
otherwise, as long as you follow the rules, you will be fine. though i always reserve the right to executively veto your presence for any reason.
#discord server round 2#i'll probably be reblogging this periodically for a bit#lurkers are probably okay#but i really want people who will be active and contribute to discussions#again in a mostly civil manner#but yeah i have a few people who have already said they want to join#but i just want to gauge interest#there's a minimum number of people i'm looking for in order to move forward with this#also while almost anyone is welcome#this server will probably lean toward the right#but part of the idea is that i want unorthodox and radical thinkers#from across the political spectrum#want there to be healthy debates and exchanges of ideas#also would be really cool if anyone who has experiences moderating would join and help me out with this#along with this i'm also trying to set up a wordpress and/or substack#i'm not sure how any of this works btw#i'm figuring it out as i go#but i want to try to create a writing project#potentially a collaborative group writing project#where members can submit poems and essays and short stories and whatever#in accordance with the spirit of the overall project#i'm not sure which is better for something like this#wordpress or substack#so yeah if you have any experience with this sort of stuff would really appreciate if you messaged me directly

You know that feeling where you have never ever ever been able to draw people not to save your life especially not faces but you get really into a fandom and you really want to contribute to the beautiful fan art of your favourite character (which there isn’t much of as it’s a small fandoms even worse she’s a lesser character) so you then decide “oh I’ll just try myself.”
And then crashing realisation that there’s a reason you haven’t tried before and maybe I should just stick to my lane.
But it’s too late now so here I am spending years of my life trying find references pictures because I cannot draw without one unless I want Goldie to look like she snuck on to earth.
And I’m this close to giving and probably would have if not for my overwhelmingly stubborn nature
I must continue. Failure is not an option.
No? Just me?
Send help *holding back tears*
#it’s painful#I’ve draw 42 different faces#and I hate all of them#why is this so difficult#anyone who can draw#has been sent down from heaven by god herself#cos wtf#why won’t my pencil do what I want#any tips are so welcome#I need help#goldie o'gilt#ducktales

I’ve been awake for 38 hours. It is BED time.
#mott txt#I’ve been running our big salt kiln. it’s rough out here#I wish other ppl in my class would step up and be willing to learn to actually run it#it’s an out door kiln and it’s been snowing and cold so I’m cold to the bone#but also my face is sunburnt all to hell from checking the spy holes and all that. bc it runs at 2000 degrees#also I loaded it practically by myself and with the help of one other person.#which is batshit considering this kiln is the size of a small room#pisses me off that ppl make all this work and can’t be assed to learn how to load and fire the kilns#like hello. I’m also a student who has other classes not your fucking studio tech#but I’m president of our club and my profs intern so if no one shows up oh well. it’s on me to still do it all#I have a few people in our advanced class that do help a lot but they can’t watch the kiln by themselves#it’s a pretty complicated kiln and none of them know enough to run it.#idk what they’ll do next semester when I’m student teaching…..but that’s none of my business#anyways. this is an incredibly niche problem huh#welcome to the world of ceramics. if you’re firing in big kilns it’s an incredible community effort to load and fire them#but sometimes you get stuck with a bunch of lazy asshats#and I prefer my work in this kiln so I have no choice but to run it bc I want it to look nice#sigh#is anyone even still reading. sorrry I’m just sleep deprived and dumping in the tags lol

i started a sourdough starter and i've been having so much fun with it!! pics under the cut ha i've never made bread on my own so it all looks a mess. it feels so cool to make all my food home made cause yesterday i made my own salsa and i also cooked some other stuff too and the sourdough cookies which are giving gourmet bitch so i just felt so good. and full!! anyway the bread is okay. it's definitely bread, so it's good! it doesn't taste at all like my grandma's sourdough tho, but i'm not surprised cause her starter smells completely different than mine! uh the plain one is hard and it didn't raise quite as much but i think i accidentally used a lil too much flour. the garlic italian seasoning one is the perfect texture tho!!
i included the picture of the salsa bc look at the size of that lime it was the same size as one of the oranges i have never seen one that big!!
#i have a headache and my astigmatism is bothering me but my glasses are making it worse which is new#like i don't think they're the right prescription but i didn't think they were that bad. way too late to take them back tho....#my neighbor is blasting music at the highest volume on her sound system at 11:30pm it's so annoying#yesterday i had a friend over and her kids and my neighbor was pounding on the floor the whole time for idek how many hours#she overstayed her welcome but i wouldn't have been so unwelcoming if not that every time her kids walked around#my neighbor pounded on the fucking floor several times as hard as possible. every. single. fucking. time. they walked anywhere#like i can kinda get it for the kids because they move quickly so their steps are louder but like she does it when i walk around sometimes#not every day but way too often. it's honestly traumatizing and triggering and i literally have to walk on eggshells and she still does it#even though i step softly. and i'm not the one who fuCKING BLASTS MUSIC ALL THE GOD DAMNED TIME LATE AT NIGHT#she is also really nasty to me any time i run into her and if i walk outside my apartment she will like drag her dog back in asap#and she also has all out knock down drag out fights with her son who she is mooching off of.#anyway i have never done anything to her i've never even spoken to her i would smile at her before she started being a bitch#it's so fucking miserable living over a loudly and vitriolicly insane person. i wish she would move out if she's so unhappy but of course#like i said! she's mooching off her son so. she can't afford to move! god i'd love to help her but she doesn't want help she wants#to be the main character and make damn sure every single person around her is as miserable as she is if she can help it#and like girl i fucking get it i am a miserable bitch believe you me everything pisses me off! i hate life i hate existing!#but like at least i have the decency to not make it everyone else's problem! damn i'm not her mama i'm not the one#responsible for her existence so why does she have to take it out on me!? she even takes it out on her son she makes him insane#and he sure as shit isn't responsible for her existence nah it's the other way around. so i don't fucking understand what anyone else owes#her!!!!!#but damn if she's so miserable i could help her and i would in a heartbeat and she fucking hates my guts.

"Knowledge is Israel's worst enemy. Awareness is Israel's most hated and feared foe. That's why Israel bombs a university: it wants to kill openness and determination to refuse living under injustice and racism."

From River To The Sea Palestine Will Be Free 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
-----
Edit 1: took the first video down because turns out the animator is a terf and it links to her blog. Really sorry for any distress.
Edit 2: All recommended readings + Haymarket recommendations + essential decolonization texts have been uploaded to my linked gdrive. I will adding more periodically. Please do buy or check them out from the library if possible, but this post was made for and by poor and gatekept Global South bitches like me.
Some have complained about the memes being disrespectful. You're actually legally obligated to make fun of Israeli propaganda and Zionists. I don't make the rules.
Edit 3: "The river to the sea" does not mean the expulsion of Jews from Palestine. Believing that is genocide apologia.
Edit 4: Gazans have specifically asked us to put every effort into pushing for a ceasefire instead of donations. "Raising humanitarian aid" is a grift Western governments are pushing right now to deflect from the fact that they're sending billions to Israel to keep carpet bombing Gazans. As long as the blockades are still in place there will never be enough aid for two million people. (UPDATE: PLEASE DONATE to the Gazan's GoFundMe fundraisers to help them buy food and get out of Rafah into Egypt. E-SIMs, food and medical supplies are also essential. Please donate to the orgs linked in the How You Can Help. Go on the strikes. DO NOT STOP PROTESTING.)
Edit 5: Google drive link for academic books folder has been fixed. Also have added a ton of resources to all the other folders so please check them out.
Edit 6: Added interactive maps, Jadaliya channel, and masterlists of donation links and protest support and of factsheets.
The twitter accounts I reposted as it was given to me and I just now realized it had too many Israeli voices and almost none of the Palestinians I'm following, so it's being edited. (Update: done!) also removed sources like Jewish Voices of Peace and Breaking the Silence that do good work but have come under fair criticism from Palestinians.
Edit 7: Complete reformatting
Edit 8: Complete revamping of the social media section. It now reflects my own following list.
Edit 9: removed some more problematic people from the allies list. Remember that the 2SS is a grift that's used to normalize violence and occupation, kids. Supporting the one-state solution is lowest possible bar for allyship. It's "Free Palestine" not "Free half of Palestine and hope Israel doesn't go right back to killing them".
Edit 10: added The Palestine Directory + Al Jazeera documentary + Addameer. This "100 links per post" thing sucks.
Edit 11: more documentaries and films
Edit 12: reformatted reading list
Edit 13: had to remove @palipunk's masterlist to add another podcast. It's their pinned post and has more resources Palestinian culture and crafts if you want to check it out
Edit 14 6th May '24: I've stopped updating this masterlist so some things, like journalists still left in Gaza and how to support the student protests are missing. I've had to take a step back and am no longer able to track these things down on my own, and I've hit the '100 links per post' limit, but if you can leave suggestions for updates along with links in either the replies or my asks I will try and add them.
Edit 15 10th August: added to Palestinian allies list and reworked the Help for Palestine section. There's been a racist harrassment campaign against the Palestinian Tumblrs that vetted the Gaza fundraisers based off one mistake made by a Gazan who doesn't understand English. If you're an ally, shut that shit down. Even if you donate to a scam GFM, you're only out some coffee money; if everyone stops donating to all the GFMs in fear of scams, those families die.
Edit 16: removed entire section of allied accounts since the liberation of Syria because apparently leftists in the West are unable to both be against the Israel's genocide of Palestinians and Assad's genocide of Syrians. I should have treated the use of "Axis of Resistance" as the Tankie dog whistle it was.
Edit 17: Removed the Uncommitted Movement to pressure the Harris Presidential Campaign for obvious reasons.
Edit 18: Operation Olive Branch has come under fire for their lack of transparency, unethical behaviour and reporting their own volunteers to the FBI. Always be wary of white people spearheading anything to do with liberatory movements, from conversations to organizations.
