#bears repeating anyway

just honest to god adore those deconstructed concepts in the lyrics like "glass of milk, standing in-between extinction in the cold" as a descriptor for mammals and the function they're named for, "flammable undiagrammable sentiments pass between animal beings" to mean sparks fly during romantic chemistry, and "newborn citizenship of the micronations" referring to reproducing and new offspring, like. like! like!!!

And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you. Wise as you will have become, so full of experience, you’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.

I went to an Ilan Pappé talk yesterdays - I really recommend his books if you've not checked them out already. He's arguably one of the worlds leading experts on Zionism and the "Israel"-Palestine conflict, so obviously everything he said was great, but what I want to highlight:

Someone asked him if he thought the protests and petitions and calling you reps and shit would work, and he said no, it never will. It's still important to do that but the powerful will never surrender their power to the powerless just because they ask for it. Asking the UK and the US to cut ties with their imperial outpost in the Middle East is like asking an animal to gnaw off it's own limb - it won't do it unless its only other choice is dying completely.

So who does have the power to put a stop to this, we asked. The working class of the imperial core. That's us, and we are the most powerful people in the world right now, because this war machine can't function without us. Movements like this can only be built from the ground up, so stop looking to the government and start looking to your community. We need to make it more unprofitable to support Israel than it is to cut ties with it.

This is a call to action. The people HAVE the power, and we have to use it. Yes, that's you. Contact your trade union, your workplace, your school, your church, your university. Your friends, family, any connections you have. As many people on board as possible, with one goal: shut it down. Take direct action now.

JADEITE REDOLENCE ❖ favorite chenyu vale overworld tracks

[arthur-side]

This had been on my mind since forever

Situation; There's an upcoming prom and the gang wants Ben and Taylor to be prom queen/king

-Aiden asks if Taylor has any good dress, didn't wait for an answer, and immediately rushed to get supplies to make a dress. He apparently knows how to make dresses. -The gang asks for the two to go to Aiden's house even when Ben literally lives with Aiden. -The gang prepares the two for the prom. -Taylor asks why the others aren't coming, Aiden's reply is "Because Ash doesn't want to!", Ashlyn's reply was "Too loud.", Tyler and Logan replied "Too gay." The gang gives them a questionable look. -Tyler was doing his sister's hair and Aiden was using Logan as a stool to brush Ben's hair. -Tyler suggested to give Taylor makeup. -"Why? She already looks beautiful." -Ashlyn Banner -Taylor blushes at Ashlyn's statement.(I can't live without a bit of Taylyn<3) -Prom finally rolled up, and the gang surprisingly showed up still. -Ashlyn was in the corner with her noise-canceling headphones, Tyler and Logan was keeping an eye on the two, and Aiden is doing Aiden. -Ps, Taylor and Ben became prom queen/king, the gang clapped and cheered at them, Tyler and Ashlyn even having a smile on their faces.

actually so evil how much of hal's internal world gets obliterated with the rewriting of his relationships with jessica and martin.

[official-lauchzwiebel]

Love Aziraphale's and Crowley's view of how they think humans (can) fall in love bc it's so unrealistic. Both quote media as their source (movie+books). They might subconsciously bring in their own experiences (crowley and shelter from the rain) or wishes (aziraphale and dancing), yet in real life these things seldomly make people fall for each other or realise their feelings.

Nina and Maggie get this - they see their relationship in a realistic light. They communicate (!). They draw their boundaries and state what they want or do not want at that moment.

Aziraphale and Crowley are stuck because they cannot communicate properly. They rely on signs and 'old dances', as others have mentioned already. They cannot make the switch to communicating successfully. After 6000 years of not telling the other in no uncertain terms how they feel, they are still so afraid to take that final leap. Maybe they don't even know how to do it.

So they stick with the fairytales. Sheltering and dancing. And - in the end when Crowley has lost nearly all hope he had for Aziraphale agreeing to his proposal (for it was a proposal of sorts) - he does the last thing they talked about when they spoke about their love-scheme. He kisses Aziraphale.

He's showing all of his cards, putting everything, every feeling of doubt and joy and longing and sadness and anger and love into it.

It is not reciprocated (or only for the teeniest moment).

A kiss cannot save a relationship that is doomed. It cannot make them overlook all the problems and decisions they're facing.

It is just this - one movie kiss. And it is not even good.

It doesn't work in the real world, and Crowley gets this now.

There's no hope left.

'Don't bother.'

(Also, the fact that this IS a fantasy series really adds another layer. Slay.)

[dnangelic]

so far in just about every other universe he will find some way to fall hopelessly in love with somebody who also for w/e reason happens to hate dark and will get really sad about it

Ranveer being the most malewife ever and trying to warn us about the danger of Deepika showing up on screen looking like that before Besharam Rang released. he gets it

[luminaryofblood]

... Yeah, like...

... Whether it was marching off to fight Radahn because he was holding back the stars, or marching off to Caelid because Malenia tracked Miquella there and thought Radahn was responsible-- it would have made more sense than what we got...
