therealy/n_l/n It’s such a honor to be representing my country this Olympic Games. It was a lifelong dream I’ve been imaging as a child and couldn’t be happier. I’d like to take the time to thank my family, friends, and coaches who deemed this opportunity possible for me. See you in Paris. 🫡

…

I–

All right, y’all, I’ve got some things to say.

Spoilers for ramblings about Dislyte Unknown Collection Story Mode:

First, some positives!

• There were some pretty interesting concepts introduced: Raven having premonition and memory-erasing powers, using her wings + comet/shooting star + all how it influences the EU: the use of stone tablets, giving out only pieces of information to the public, not interfering with the future, etc.

• I liked how the Esper Union felt more gray aligned than straight up black or white considering its origins.

• I enjoyed seeing Triki a bit fleshed out, but let me just say that I'm biased about this because I literally don't have him yet so I don't know too much about him aside from the basics. A little disappointed to not have seen the whole crew. I was also hoping to see Zora and Ren Shi too. 😭😭 I will say, I can appreciate Yamato just coming around to be a menace and have fun, lol

• The silly and cute things like the Draw and Guess game, Tevor’s photo with Hilda??? (When and how even was this/could this happen, lol), commander Xuan Pin post-Immortal Fire and her relationship with Mateo, Alexa and Abigail having their moments together, and Alexa being a Wattpad writer amateur romance novelist on the side, lol.

• Lots of lovely and memorable artwork especially! Sachiko was obviously the devs’ favorite since they drew her so adorably, lol Assassin’s Creed reference?

Negatives.

• Y’all… This felt like an alternate universe rather than an addition to literally everything we’ve ever been introduced to in canon, so I’m just going to treat it as such. I could've avoided this and wouldn’t missed out on anything.

• Also, as interesting as it is, Raven being clairvoyant came out of nowhere, lol There’s no mention, reference, or anything anywhere suggesting this in Dislyte canon, besides the fact that Odin (Norse Mythology) has that ability. I do miss her bike and wolf though, lol The [Player] character gave more Mary Sue isekai’d into the game vibes rather than someone literally not from this world who’s experiencing Grandis and Miracles for the first time. If Markiplier can be canon in the universe but not in a weird way, then they could’ve done something along those lines for him too. Why exactly did Tang Na turn into a “Miramon”? Usually, overdrawing on your powers (could) just kill(s) you like in Gaius’ or Leora’s event. I guess it changed for then humanity/divinity balance. Where’s Discboom? She could’ve been a good lock instead. 😔😔

• What was going on with the writing and pacing? There were lots of typos, weird wording, and kind of a strange flow from chapter to chapter. Maybe localization editing was rushed? Like, I could appreciate trying a new style, but it also felt off-putting a lot of times and not as cohesive or seamless as it could’ve been. The Shackled Collection, the OG story mode, was much better in this regard. And then, there’s…

The ending…

• Honestly, it’s a bit hard to play devil’s advocate with that ending because from the standpoint of a first-time new player, who hasn’t been through Gaius’, Norah’s, or Embla’s event, the OG main story/Shackled Collection, or any other big lore heavy events, it might feel like “whoa, plot twist! That’s interesting!” But it’s still a little lackluster.

As a long time player whose way too DEEP and invested in Dislyte lore, characters, and world building, I was very disappointed.

I mean, he didn’t even have a hinted-at “I want” moment or off-putting conversation with the [Player] to help build it up. All the Anesidora moments literally could’ve been her talking to Embla or Hyde for all I know. I think that I needed better breadcrumbs not because I didn’t see the twist coming, but because it didn't really pay off. As if they chose him to be the villain for the sake of shock value instead of any substance. Why does he want the power? Gaius. Union Hub Director and Researcher Gaius? He was just like, “Good job, Mayor Abigail. Pot, kettle. Yes, I’m bad. AND I want a new world order. 😈😈 What'd you wish for, Sachiko!???” And was anti-climatically blasted away.

The Shadow Decree is more than just “bwahaha evil villainy because evil” kind of people and we’ve seen that several times now so there was a lot to work with. Personally, I’m anti-evil Gaius, but if they wanted to make it a bit more believable, here’s three different scenarios off the top of my head that fits Gaius’ personality and the whole fate theme going on.

1. Desperate Gaius “It’s been more than a decade of fighting and failure and bloodshed. I’m tired of seeing Raven hurt because of her [powers™] and witnessing both the Esper Union and SD fail at achieving what for mere humans and Espers is impossible. But then, I remembered Hannah’s private research from long ago all this time about [insert gate of promotion info to explain how that even cropped up]. And it was all true. Yamato finding [Player], Raven’s vision, and Abigail’s intel confirmed that even further. Hyde, not believing in [insert gate and wish stuff], had tried to counter it with his artificial esper project, but it devolved into something entirely different [insert Sieg]. But I knew if I wanted to prove it, I needed to take measures beyond just the Union’s resources. So, I reached out to Yamato and Hyde and the rest was history. Hannah told me that I could use my powers for good. With the full power of the Starlight’s Miracle Nexus, I can save this world from the havoc and turmoil the Miracles created — by making a new one.”

Or like, 2. Slightly Ominous Positivity™ Derails into Deluded Gaius, “Don’t worry, Raven and [Player]. Just as I trust you, trust me. Even if that was her final premonition, I trust that all will play out according to fate. If fate brought us [Esper Seven] together, if it brought Hannah into my life, then I know that it will lead me to where I need to be to help everyone that I can.” Slowly turns into obsessive, corrupted selfishness as he stresses over of Raven’s prophecy, learning about the Gate of Promotion does through Yamato and the Shadow Decree, corrupted with thoughts of its unlimited potential and what it can do for him; “Can you believe it? Fate brought us to the Starlight Miracle’s Nexus that can grant me the power to do anything. Raven was wrong. This is true destiny [taking all the divine power for himself]. Hannah, give me the strength to best this fate like you did for me to save everyone. I will succeed no matter who’s against me!”

Heck, even a 3. Turned His Back on the Light to Save His Friends Gaius “They’re my friends. Us Seven have been through more than you [Player] can ever imagine. So, when Hyde and Embla came to us [Raven and Gaius] with a truce and told me that we could use this power for actual good for the world... I had to make a decision. One that could change the fate of everything Raven knew, regardless of what she saw, but be our only chance at saving everything. I know Raven would never forgive me after what I did… especially to her… but as the Esper Union Hub Director, I will do anything and sacrifice everything I have to save as many people as I can, even if it means colluding and sinking to the darkest places. Even breaking bread with the dark forces I once knew as my comrades. I promised Hannah that I would help others. You need to understand that the ends will always justify the means.”

Or something like that since we know he can be incredibly selfless/borderline sacrificial when it comes to saving people close to him and up keeping this position. Also, is Leora’s backstory still the same bc I feel like she would’ve already tried to tell everyone about Gaius being a shadow councilor when she defected since she was mentored by Embla, a shadow councilor. They hold annual end of year All-Hands, for crying out loud, lmfaooo Ain’t no way she didn’t know.

I don’t know, y’all. I’m just rambling at this point.

I really needed the seasoning Gaius was missing in his life if they’re going to make him bad. He wasn’t a very compelling bad guy. 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

Furthermore, it felt like they potentially retrofitted the general Dislyte lore/world building for a lot of stuff?

For me, one of the biggest things was everything around the Gate of Promotion in the Nexus. “The Miracle Nexus, the source of all Miracles,” Mkay, but how did they learn about the Gates? How did Narmer and Cang Ji, dudes who LOVE researching and exploring Miracles, not find it or learn about it years before? It’s been about 10+ years since the whole Miracle-Miramon situation began when the Esper Seven explored Miracle Prime and you’re telling me that supposedly somehow only now Yamato, Gaius, Raven, Abigail and the SD know about the Gates? And if Raven’s premonition gave that info, that still doesn’t explain why everyone else knew about it before then like Xuan Pin, Abigail, and Yamato. And about the lock too. Who gave everyone this knowledge? Like, Did the [Player] character come with a manual that Yamato’s been making leaks of or something, lol? He’s supposed to be a whole ‘Miracle destroyer’ and no one else is interested in that?

All in all, all I can say is that it was a choice and I had fun if I just think of it as an OVA or Isekai AU or something.

Bonus pics bc Hall’s censored for some reason lol AND my bby girl, Jiang Man, is looking cute here.

Hi,

First of all, I want to thank you and Tom for the interesting real life chastity blog.

Different than many other blogs that are based on men’s chastity fantasies. This doesn’t mean I’m not enjoying them 😊.

We are a couple in our mid 50’s and this year we are happily married for 35 years. We are young at mind and fully enjoy life as it is supposed to be.

Since my childhood I have affection for bondage and other kinky stuff in contrary of my wife.

However, she knows my kinks and all those years she does efforts to understand this and she helps me out to fore fill my needs.

In the mid 90’s we watched on national a TV show regarding special fetish and taboos. There was an interview with Mr Walter Goethals of Carrara design experimenting with male chastity devices.

At that moment I also knew that chastity was something for me.

With internet more information on male chastity became available. When the CB6000 came out I purchased one and started to experiment with It. Sometimes I was locked for 3 weeks. However, the plastic case in 2 longitude parts gave me painful issues.

To make a longs story short, over several years we ordered several chastity cages and finally I have this cheap metal case from Alibaba that works fine, together with an anti-pull-out ring.

Our sex life is/was always good and I liked to experiment with new techniques to please my wife. Already since more than 30 years I don’t cum if my wife doesn’t cum first.

Since my wife likes penetration and likes to give me HJ and BJ, it was not always easy for her when I was locked. Sometimes she taught I didn’t like her or that I wasn’t happy with her performances. So we talked many times on the subject and the last 4 years she locked me for 2-3 weeks with some long term intervals. But as you mention in your blog, once you tried chastity, it stays in the mind and you want to go back being locked.

Since last year both our children are out house, and so we have more time for us.

Last January my wife had the NY party at work and I was alone at home. So I put myself in strict self-bondage with a sensory deprivation hood, chastity cage eo.

I texted my wife in advance not to be scared when she came home during the night. This was not the first time I did that, but she is always afraid that an accident would happen.

That night she came home relaxed, reacted positive and again understood my needs. We made love and she came from orally, and I didn’t cum😊.

From that night I’m locked up day and night.

However, she decided to unlock me twice to make love. I stayed unlocked during the night what result in a good night sleep (*).

My wife holds the key, and the spare key is in a sealed envelope in case of emergency.

Now since last week I found your Tumblr blog and I love it. Both the point of view from you both. I couldn’t agree more.

Furthermore, it helped me to introduce my wife to keep me locked longer then before and if she agrees permanently.

Since my wife doesn’t really like to go on Tumblr, I copy-paste your Q&A in a word document so my wife could read about your lifestyle as a chastity couple and the advantage of it if we/she implemented in our marriage.

It is now 27 days that I’m locked and, I hope that it is the first 27 days of a permanent chastity, fully managed by my wife.

In the meantime, I ordered a Vixskin and harness together with a t° regulated water heater. 😊

If my wife can enjoy the Vixskin we can go for the Vixskin-X, but this is not yet available in the EU. If I order it from the US with tax and import duty this become +/- 500$

This all said I have a question for you both, but particularly for Tom.

During the day I have no issues wearing the cage, but during the night it is sometimes terrible when I get an erection, which is normal. This always result in stretching the skin below my cage ring and makes me wake up several times during the night.

Before I go to sleep, I always use anti chafe cream to allow movement for the skin in the cage, but still.

When I wake up, I can concentrate to make him soft again.

The problem is that I don’t have a good night sleep with negative results during daytime.

Any idea how I can get over this issue?

Tank you and keep up the good work.

Regards

B

Wow, there is a lot to comment on here. 😅

First I am glad that you and your wife really talk about this. Too many times we get questions or messages from men who just push this on their wives and the wife has no idea what to do with all of this. But it seems that you and your wife talk about this.

I hope that you talked to her about using the Vixskin before you ordered it. I am pretty sure there are stores over there where you can get it cheaper than ordering from the US. I'll let my husband answer the rest of this. 🔐

~

Tom here. My wife is correct; lovehoney.co.uk sells Vixskin products (and other nice items. I've been there and am happy to give a shout out).

Unfortunately, the only thing that will help you adapt to wearing the cage is to keep wearing the cage. It may take a couple of months wearing it overnight to allow your body to get used to those erections in the middle of the night.

Make sure that you use good lube around the cuff ring to keep your skin from "burning" (it's really stretching). Also, I do not know what cage you have, but one that is smaller inside, that is, a more narrow diameter, will prevent your penis from expanding. That will help.

Note that I am not recommending those nub cages. You may have to try several different designs to find one that is comfortable for you.

if you wanna know about what happened to that sunken ship carrying 750 immigrants (of which around 100 survived), i can tell you but i cannot promise you i can keep my cool.

i’m gonna start biting ohmygosh okay. 

immigrants. refugees is probably the better word. those people took a ship from libye heading to italy. they were trying to leave their country to go to a better place, right? to live under better conditions. but you cannot do that “legally”. i hope you know how it goes. people from that area would travel on road, from turkey and then from greece to wherever they wanted to go. but as of recently, right at the borders of greece and turkey there was a wall built (wish this was a bad joke) by the greek government. the reason: to deter immigrants to pass the borders (since there are a lot of them in our country but that’s no fucking excuse since the EU literally funds the governement for this). and it worked, unfortunately. 

refugees had to find a different means to leave. so? travel overseas. it’s riskier but when you have no other option left, you take what you have. and it’s not the first time this has happened. it’s not the first time refugees have drowned and their bodies were found in greece’s coasts. we’ve mourned many people, many children. 

this time? this time it was different because this is the biggest ship the greek government has ever found “trespassing” their sea borders. (there could be others that were never found you know). the biggest ship with the most people on it. never before have there been 750 people abroad. and never before has a ship like that sunken. 

so what happened? based on what i know and not what the greek media claims, based on the survivors’ and the residents’ claims, the coastguard sinked that overcrowded fishing boat. yeah you heard me right. they towed their ship to that boat, probably in hopes to get it out of the greek sea borders so that malta would have to deal with it. malta’s sea borders weren’t that far away and keep in mind that towing in this case is illegal because it could be fatal (and it was).

so, the coastguard firstly claimed that they hadnt approached the boat until it was near sinking. after the survivors’ spoke their truth, they had to change their initial statement. and they did that quite fast. they said they approached them hours before it sunk in order to maintain their safety and supply the boat with food and water. according to them, the reason why the boat sunk was due to the people who were moving too much and tried to shake off any help given to them. it was dark and it wasn’t windy, no waves big enough to disrupt the boat. 

the greek authorities have lied, twice now, and their claims oppose those of the survivors’. survivors who lost their parents or their children. because governments make their lives harder and harder and when the people try to escape their fate, they realize they dont have the upper hand on the matter. and those humans who dont deserve to be called that, act like they care, announcing a 3-day national mourning. that happened a week ago. i havent seen any government officials talking abt the matter since then. (and ofc the only reason they pretend they care so much is because it’s elections season)

i am so done with the hypocrisy. we know the truth and we want justice to be served. but i really really wish it hadnt come down to this, i wish we didnt have to mourn for all the lost ones.

it isn’t the first time it happened. it isn’t the first time in this year that we have lost people thanks to our government’s incompetency. im tired of this. and im tired of people who vote for them, who back them up and excuse their actions. my heart hurts. it really does. as a kid of immigrants who had to go through hell to move across countries, who risked their lives to have a chance of living peacefully and under better conditions, it hurts. and it hurts even more to know that even if there’s a very very very slight possibility jsutice will be served, those people will never be the same again. justice wont be enough to bring their loved ones back. it fucking hurts.

i'm confused on your stance on the israel/palestine situation. You mainly reblog pro-israel things, and never reblog anything about palestinians (unless it's something like "look at these palestinians who condemn hamas"). but you have also reblogged the occasional post condemning/recognizing the terrors of the israeli government? And you've also written in tags before denying what is happening to the palestinian people as being genocide (i think)?

so i am so confused. Are you pro israel? anti israel? and if you post about and recognize the wrongness of past genocides like the holocaust (as you should, rightfully so), why do you refuse to give the mass killing of palestinians any attention? even if there are israeli citizens who are being wrongfully targeted during all this, why does only that upset you and not the thousands more palestinian civilians being targeted? i'm just so confused? and i mean.. aren't you a mother? how can you look at thousands of children dying and only post about the side that is currently suffering less deaths?

Short answer: I’m pro-lasting-peace and anti-terrorism. The deaths of people, especially of those extreme numbers of people are devastating and a catastrophe. This isn’t a typical war. It’s a double-hostage situation where the perpetrator hides the Israeli hostages behind the Palestinian hostages. And that needs to end soon! And most importantly – it has to stay peaceful for good. Natanyahu will not be helping with that, but the Hamas will rather have every child in Gaza die a painful death than to give up their hostages – may it be the ones everyone calls “hostages” or the Palestinian civilians, who are just as much hostages of greedy, immoral, old men.  

I share posts that reflect, at least partially, my personal view. I like posts I generally sympathize with but include messages opposite to my personal view for sharing. Most social media pro-Israel posts are closer to my personal stance than most social media pro-Palestine posts are. The position of the state of Israel is even further removed from my personal stance, hence my criticism. The Hamas has the opposite goal, hence my even more pronounced criticism.

Long answer:

Real world politics are complex. Everyone who tells you they were not is lying and either trying to manipulate you or being manipulated themselves. (Such as this post.) There are never only two sides to it. Reducing it to two sides is a tool of manipulation.

There is a war going on and manipulation is a common and extremely efficient tool of modern warfare and we (everyone on social media) are a part of that. You might think that the conflict (several conflicts, since I’ll talk about Ukraine, too) is far away and does not include “us” (such as people in Europe and the US). That’s a wrong. Remember for a moment 2016 – 2017, when Trump was elected president of the United States. People who were aware and thinking critically realized even before the election that social media was swarming with Russian bots. These bots did their best to manipulate people into not voting, or voting third party. The leaked emails of Hillary were a part of the manipulation, eliminating Trump’s opposition.People fell for the manipulation and four years of LGBTQIA+ suffering, children-in-cages and destabilization of the NATO (the alliance against Russia) followed. Afterwards a lot of evidence for the Russian manipulation surfaced. But then it was too late. The people had been manipulated into helping the bad guys. The same manipulation repeated with the Brexit (2016-2020) ruining many chances of young people in the UK and further destabilization of the NATO. That’s why you should learn how to recognize manipulation and whenever you feel like there could be some involved think who might profit from it. Yes, people learned and that’s why you see all the “VOTE!! FFS VOTE!” posts making their rounds. Especially now, since elections of the US and of the EU are close.

How to manipulate someone: Make them think that they are fighting for a good cause (on surface level). But in truth this “good cause” only serves you, the manipulator. The people voting for Trump thought they voted for a better future, for having more money, for being safer. The people voting for Brexit thought basically the same. The Germans who voted Adolf Hitler into office had been desperate. The country had just lost the first world war. The economy war on the floor, ruined by the reparation payments Germany had to pay. The people worked hard, and still were unable to afford anything but (sometimes not even) the basic necessities. There were no future perspectives for them or their children. (Does that sound familiar?) Hitler promised to make “Germany great again”. He said the Arien people were a good, upstanding race. That Germany didn’t deserve having its colonies and land taken away by force. He said Germans were being threatened and close to extinction. He said that the Jews wanted to corrupt and annihilate the Germans.

Another tool of manipulation is the incorrect use of language to rile people up so they won’t think rationally anymore. If someone says “Person A is a pedophile and a rapist!” and it turns out Person A is trans and not a rapist, there is a solid chance said someone wanted to manipulate you by making you angry so you will rage against Person A without cross checking. If someone says “this is a genocide” that means fraction A is intentionally and efficiently trying to kill fraction B. It means they aim where the most people are. It means they don’t do anything to help anyone of the fraction B. The fact alone that we know where the IDF will strike next is a clear indicator Israel is in fact warning the civilians. It would not do so, if the aim was to annihilate every single Palestinian.

It’s the aim that makes the difference. IF Israel wanted to kill all Palestinians they would have very efficient tools to do so. And even if it’s hard to imagine a number 28 thousand deaths (as on 12.Feb.2024 as “small”, they still are. These numbers mean there are about 1555 deaths per week in average. In comparison, during the holocaust, Germany killed 17 Million people between 1.September 1939 and 1945. In average that have been 61.594 deaths each week. So why would someone willfully equal these two vastly different numbers? If someone says “genocide” to a military occupation of the west bank or the civil causalities during a counter strike against the Hamas who knowingly proclaimed war against the state of Israel, than there is a solid chance this person is trying to manipulate you by using emotionally charged wording instead of what can and has been proven – a military occupation. “But killing so many people is bad regardless what you call it” you might argue, and I agree. That’s why I criticize the Israeli government. Also, soldiers using the war to do unforgivable things, looting, beating people who have surrendered – this all has to be punished.

“So, why does it matter what you call it?” you might ask, and I sigh. Many, many Pro-Palestine posts aim to manipulate people from the noble point of being against the killing of Palestinians into being for the Hamas getting away with killing and raping Israelis (both Jewish and Muslims) and keeping the Israeli hostages (some of which might have gotten pregnant by rape - which might be a reason these particular girls/women have not been released as of yet). Calling what happens a “genocide” is manipulating you into that, because it takes away the rational reasoning. It takes away the rightful wish of Israeli civilians living in peace. It implies it was death and destruction simply born from being evil Jews who hate Palestinians so they want to kill them all. The moment you call the stuff going on a “genocide” and call for a ceasefire without the return of ALL hostages you become the equivalent of the people who voted for Trump or Brexit in good faith. It means you are speaking up for the hostages remaining slaves, the Bibas children and their mom remaining in the hands of their captors, and that killing Jewish women and men as well as raping them is an act that should not be punished.

5.Another way to manipulate people and radicalize is to establish a “we versus them” mindset where you have to choose between two positions, which are both extremes. What you did in your ask - claiming I would only reblog pro-Palestine posts when they condemned Hamas - that erases the part that said post focused a lot on the situation for the victims. You erased the nuance. But the nuance is where a possible solution can be found that does not includes shrugging while accepting that some children will be victims of decade old hate.

6. If you know a child gets abused and beaten by its parents you can treat its wounds, so YOU feel better, but in the end, when the child has to go back into the abusive environment you won’t have changed anything that really matters. You might have made it worse, even. If you really want to help the child you need to get it out of the abusive situation. The Hamas are the abusive parents in this analogy. It’s no secret they don’t care for their people. Pro-Palestine posts like to claim the Hamas would not hide behind civilians, schools, hospitals, or mosques. That is a lie. They do. They don’t give civilians shelter in their tunnels, they say “you have to go to the UN for help” when Palestinians ask for food, they steal humanitarian aid and SELL it to the refugee Palestinians. They don’t participate in projects to give Gaza its own water supply, and even demolish the structures build by outsiders like the EU and the US to build weapons from it.

When the British mandate was transformed into the state of Israel, the Palestinian people became refugees. Normally, refugees search refuge in countries where they become citizens and can build a normal life, work, get children, build an existence. Their children would no longer be considered refugees. They would be citizens of the new country. This happened at first, until Yassir Arafat (an Egyptian, NOT Palestinian) realized that the UN was willing to pay money for each refugee.

This money is normally intended to provide humanitarian aid for the people who are not able to build an existence. He went forward and build a system (including the UNWRA) that would do something unique. Unlike all other refugees, Palestinians stay refugees over generations, ripping away their possibility to create a true life. And all the money the UN pays (the major part originating from the US, Europe and Germany) goes not to the refugees. But to the Hamas, because these are the official leaders of the Palestinians in Gaza. You see – Arafat has actually developed a magnificent way to make himself and his friends rich by holding the Palestinian people in poverty and forced dependance. The Hamas use the money to build weapons and tunnels. But that’s not even the worst part. Because they need more than tunnels and weapons. They need people operating the weapons and using the tunnels. In fact, a dispute between the UNRWA and the Hamas happened in 2009, as the UNRWA (allegedly) wanted to include lessons on the holocaust into the curriculum of middle schools in Gaza.  That would have been contrary to what the Hamas wants. It wants to manipulate the Palestinian children into hating Jewish people, and dreaming of killing them all, so one day the children will grow up to be willing Hamas fighters. ). Here is a quote from the linked article: 

It was not just limited to history, social studies and religion — with a math book using an image of Palestinians hitting Israeli soldiers with slingshots to describe Newton’s second law of motion, the report said. Dead terrorists are also called “martyrs” throughout the books — with one ninth-grade math book using the term for Fatah leader Khalil al-Wazir, who led the 1978 massacre of 38 civilians, including 13 children, Bild noted. Most maps used in the books entirely erase the state of Israel, dubbing it a “Zionist occupation” and calling the entire region of Israel, Gaza Strip and the West Bank “Palestine,” the reports said.

The Hamas takes the money intended to help Palestinians. Today, all leaders of the Hamas are billionaires. They could use their billions to help their people. But they do not. Because they do not care for their Palestinian hostages.

Because basically, we don’t have a Israel-wants-its-hostages-back-and-commits-mass-murder-situation. We have a double-hostage situation. At first, the Hamas took all the civilians of Gaza hostage. They use them as a meat shield, to recruit new cannon fodder from and to manipulate the international community into seeing the Jews as the problem. Then they took Israelien hostages and basically hid them behind the Palestinian hostages. Natanyahu, the moron rushed his well-trained and highly motivated soldiers against the Palestinian hostages, because he doesn’t care for them. The Hamas likes that, because they can now claim Israel “martyred” the Palestinian hostages. In the end, they just die for the hate and political ambitions of old, hateful, greedy men.

As a mother, this breaks my heart and makes me so so angry. And looking at my peers and friends joyfully joining the antisemitism train (EXACTLY what the Hamas wants them to do) and marching off to attack Jewish people who had NO part for all this mess – that makes me lose my last hope in humanity.

Ahsoka 1x01 1x02 Thoughts/Questions

Spoilers for Ahsoka of course, and spoilers for Star Wars Rebels.

WHAT IS SABINE’S CAT’S NAME???? This is unironically my number one question. What if she named it Ezra.

Where is Jacen? My broccoli boy 💚

Wtf is up with Morgan Elsbeth being a nightsister? She’s very clearly human and not the same species as Talzin, Ventress, and Merrin, etc. Is Dave bringing back the concept of a group of human Nightsisters from the EU? (In which case, I’d like to see Teneniel Djo please.) Morgan says she’s a “descendant of the witches of Dathomir,” does that mean she could be part Nightsister but mostly human? Worth noting she is clearly able to do at least a bit of Nightsister magick in the scene with the map- she summons green smoke while opening it. Why the inconsistency in species? It seems silly to suddenly have a human Nightsister character when it’s needlessly confusing.

Also, the instant she said she was a Nightsister and a survivor I was like “who does she think she is ripping off Merrin like this?!” I will not tolerate this dollar store knockoff wannabe.

Update: checked the wiki and apparently there were a few small human Nightsister clans (the Singing Mountain clan is apparently still canon!), but mostly it was the big Dathomirian Nightsister clan led by Mother Talzin. Morgan could be from one of the smaller human clans. I think she just feels annoying to me because it’s like someone saw how cool Merrin is, thought she’d be a good villain for this, and then took the character concept wholesale for a piece of Star Wars media that’s more mainstream, but didn’t put in the work so it falls flat. And then her being human just makes it weirder. I wonder who made the decision to use the Nightsisters for this storyline, because doesn’t… fit. Even Morgan’s name is odd. Just feels like no effort was put into the character.

How did Ahsoka find Huyang? I’m so curious when and how this happened. I’m really happy to see him in this though, I loved him in Clone Wars.

Ahsoka can do psychometry now! Can we please get some canon Ahsoka and Cal Kestis interactions? Rebellion era would probably be best but I’m not picky. Obviously Cal’s abilities in that area are a lot stronger, but it’s nice he’s not alone and it’d be great to see them interact. They’re almost the same age, but just far enough apart that their experiences since Order 66 have been radically different.

Mando/Din spending seasons raising a Jedi foundling and Ahsoka taking on a non-Force-sensitive Mandalorian as a padawan is so funny to me. The irony of the inverse.

It’s also the perfect continuation of the disaster lineage attitude imo. Obi-Wan “I’ll train the kid you all say is too old to train” Kenobi, then Anakin and Ahsoka’s… you know, Anakin and Ahsoka-ing, and now Ahsoka’s like “I’ll take a regular non-Force-Sensitive person as a padawan.”

Merrin and Sabine would get along, I think.

Sabine being like 30 and still acting exactly like a rebellious teenager feels like a cry for help to me. :( I’m glad Hera seems to have her back, and it’s good that she has a cat, but I’m worried about her. It makes sense, but gosh poor Sabine. I’m sensing depression. She’s had such a tough life and a tough time with the concept of family, it feels like losing Ezra was the last straw for her emotionally.

Actually, where is Sabine’s biological family? Are Ursa, Tristan, and Alrich okay? Or did they not survive the Mandalorian Purge? (God no I WILL cry. Also @ Dave where is Korkie, why is Bo-Katan calling herself the last Kryze.)

So wait, the rest of the crew has spent 15 years thinking Ezra’s dead?? He said to come find him! I always felt like he was pretty clear he wasn’t dying when he pulled his purrgil stunt. Did they all just turn pessimistic and lose hope? That’s so sad.

I actually really love Sabine kind of being the Republic’s version of Thrawn as an expert art analyst. Continues the Sabine/Thrawn contrast Rebels started where Thrawn analyzes art in a more academic fashion and treats the culture it came from as a curiosity- he’s very into cultural appropriation!!- while Sabine makes her own art and is more capable of stepping into other people’s shoes to appreciate their art.

Ahsoka refusing to train Sabine because she’s too busy being sad and lonely, and Sabine refusing to talk to Ahsoka or train (or give speeches) because she’s too busy being sad and lonely. This is so sad and I want to hug them both.

It works because we have a new actress playing Ahsoka, but I’m so curious what this would have been like animated. Ahsoka feels similar enough to herself but very different, because she’s in such a different place emotionally, and I’m curious how this would’ve felt in animation with Ashley doing the voice.

There were a few scenes where I felt like I was watching a live action Rebels episode and it was the best! The entire sequence with Sabine on the hover bike getting away from her own New Republic squad lol, Hera in the Phantom with Chopper chasing after the ship and planting the tracker. Chopper not being able to find the tracker until Hera told him where it was felt SPOT ON.

The T-6 actually looks pretty roomy and comfortable so far. Like, not the best living situation, but it looks way bigger than the Falcon! Heck, it looks bigger than Ezra’s tower that Sabine’s living in.

That said, Ahsoka having not had a real home since leaving the Jedi Temple is killing me. She really has some abandonment/attachment/commitment issues she needs to work on. Extremely understandable issues given what happened, but it’s like after the end of Rebels she just… quit. Maybe finding out Kanan was gone and then coming back to find Ezra gone was the last straw for her.

I also feel like her giving up on Sabine’s training was because of how her own training ended and Anakin’s fall shortly after. She doesn’t feel capable of dealing with the feelings stirred up by having a student. So she just doesn’t.

Sabine’s collecting little brothers. :) Tristan, Ezra, and Jacen.

I yelled at Senator Jai Kell!!! Good for him!!!

Had a watch party with my friends for this and we all screamed the instant Chopper showed up!! And here I was thinking maybe he was off babysitting Jacen.

What in the world is with the map showing another galaxy?? Yuuzhan Vong vibes. (The way they were almost canon because we were supposed to get a Clone Wars episode with them… :’( )

Why DO the Nightsisters have a map to another galaxy? Didn’t they mostly stay on Dathomir? I can buy them having outposts like the ruins where Ahsoka found the map in an era when they left the planet more, but a map to whole other galaxy seems a bit off. Space exploration on that scale doesn’t seem like something they would do. I wonder if maybe the map is a relic from someone else that they picked up. I like the Rakata theory I saw floated by someone. I could see the Nightsisters picking up a Rakatan map. Those guys left random stuff everywhere iirc.

Does the Eye of Sion have anything to do with Darth Sion? (Of KOTOR 2 fame)

WHERE IS MORAI??? This is a really big question for me!!

Also wondering where Ahsoka’s Gandalf the White outfit is? Guessing she won’t get it until the end of the show. She has to go through her journey first. I wonder if the if it’ll mirror the Topps cards Filoni did after Twilight of the Apprentice at all.

It’s really sad to me that this show is coming out during the strike, because I really need Filoni commentary on things. Actor commentary would be great as well. This is ridiculous, the studios need to pay the people who make things a fair wage.

Shoutout to Natasha Liu Bordizzo’s portrayal of Sabine so far. She feels JUST like Sabine and it’s great. We haven’t really seen enough of Hera yet for me to comment on Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s acting. (It was so weird seeing Hera be taller than Ahsoka though lol.) And Sabine had much more of an arc in these two episodes than Ahsoka did so I can’t really comment on Rosario’s Ahsoka either. Will say she’s been excellent so far, especially in her first appearance in the Mandalorian episode. Looking forward to seeing more!

Hi, it’s me, Fanfic Anon #2. Since everyone loves Ursula, this is my contribution. Hope you all enjoy. (PS. I’ll see what I can do for a jealousy fic)

They had been waiting in a back room for 25-30 minutes now, and Ursula was starting to get angry. ‘How disrespectful,’ she thought to herself, ‘keeping us waiting like this! Who do they think they are? Who do they think we are!" However, she quickly noticed her indignity was not shared by the man sitting in the plush arm chair across from her, who was smiling like a giddy, love sick teenager at his phone.

She had seen the two of them together now plenty of times, seen the way he looks at his wife, and she at her husband - at EU summits, NATO summits, the G7/G20, sometimes when she pops in for a meeting or an event at the Élysée, but she’s never seen him quite like this. She could tell something was bothering him earlier today, and suddenly whatever weight it was had gone flying off his shoulders, the gloomy mood parted like storm clouds. And she guessed she could thank whoever it was on the other end of the line (oh, who is she kidding, she knows it’s Brigitte).

"How’s your wife?" She finally asked with a teasing smile, deciding she wanted to have some fun with him while they were waiting.

"What?" He asked, head suddenly snapping up, looking guilty for being caught.

"I said, ‘how’s your wife.’ That is who you’ve been texting for the last 20 minutes, isn’t it?" She smirked.

"How did you know?" He asked, feeling a little embarrassed.

"You’re looking at that phone like you look at her! I’m sure that Brigitte could see that smile from space, much less Paris," she laughed. Seeing him blush, she suddenly feels a wave of pity crest over her, and decides to take it easier on him. "You two are sweet, really. It’s refreshing sometimes to see another world leader who’s actually devoted to their spouse. Makes me feel less like an alien. And your wife has been lovely to my husband at those spousal events, so she definitely is on my good list."

"How long have you been married?" He asked, clearly interested.

"36 years. And you?"

"It’ll be 16 years married this October, 26 years as a couple this summer, and 30 years that I’ve been in love with her this September," he listed without a second of thought, as if these numbers were engrained on a calendar that was constantly running in his mind.

"So, basically, your whole life?" She joked.

"When you know, you know, right?" He replied sincerely.

"I guess you do," she acknowledged, thinking about when she first met her husband.

His phone buzzed again in his hand, and he smiled as he looked down at her reply. "Want me to tell her you say hello?" He asked, not looking up from the screen.

"Is that your code for her to leave you alone you’re in a meeting?"

"No. I just tell her to leave me alone, I’m in a meeting. I mean, do you want me to tell her you said hello?"

"Sure," she smiled. She paused while she waited for him to finish typing, thinking about how to phrase her question. "Does Brigitte ever get jealous? You know, when you go away on trips for a long time by yourself, or you’re surrounded by women who -"

"No," he answered firmly, cutting her off. "In fact, I’m the jealous one. Don’t tell anyone else I said that, though. I don’t want to ruin my reputation.

"Sure, she doesn’t like it when I’m gone, I don’t either, but that’s because we miss each other. Not because she doesn’t trust me or is jealous. In fact, I probably have the most understanding wife in the history of the world. Who else would have agreed to give up everything she has to be with me for me?"

She paused at that, thinking through a moment all the sacrifices that Brigitte must have made for her husband, at least, the ones that were publicly known enough for her to speculate.

About that time someone finally entered to show them to their next meeting, and the conversation was abandoned, but not before she noticed one last message he typed out as they walked to their next meeting, just catching the smallest glimpse of a:

We’re being shown to our next meeting now. I’ll be back online as soon as I can. Miss you. Love you. ❤️

Ok spoilers for the Bad Batch S2!!

So the new trailer has been out for a few days now and I’m surprised I haven’t seen a lot of talk about Cody. Like, yes, I’ve seen theories related to what will happen to Cody, but I’m specifically talking about Cody’s new armor.

In CW, Cody wore the traditional white and yellow/gold of the 212th. In the trailer, he wears white and gray armor. The only time we’ve seen an armor color change was the 104th (Wolffe and the Wolffepack). Master Plo Koon lost most of his original battalion during the Malevolence arc (in S1). They used to wear a rusty brown accented color but after that arc, they are shown to wear gray (in honor of those that died).

So what does that mean for Cody and his new armor? Is it gray just cuz the GAR is gone/disappearing or did something happen to the rest of the 212th?? They better leave the clone boys alone I swear. Filoni, you wanna mess someone up, use your new storm troopers—but leave the clones alone.

I don’t know anything about Legends/EU but do the clones keep their color after O66? I know the remaining 501st (those that stormed the Temple—not those w/ Ahsoka/Rex), after O66, is referred to as ‘Vader’s Fist’ or something. Do they still wear the blue of the 501st or do they wear gray like Cody in the new trailer?

Anyways, I was just curious about Cody’s armor. I hadn’t seen it mentioned (sorry if I missed something) so I figured I’d bring it up.

As for what’ll happen to Cody, I obviously hope he survives. Just cuz Filoni had plans for a Rex vs Cody thing/thought Cody would die doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll die this season. SW is pretty well-known for having characters disappear into hiding (Yoda, Obi-wan, Ahsoka, Cal, Ventress etc). SW also has brought back characters assumed to be dead like Gregor and Echo.

I’ve seen a few popular theories going around:

1: Cody’s gonna hunt down CF99 and Rex is gonna have to protect them by killing Cody.

2: Cody’s gonna hunt down CF99 w/ Crosshair and want to kill them. Crosshair, obviously not wanting his bros to die, will kill Cody himself.

3: Cody’s gonna have his ‘questioning moment’ like Rex did w/ Ahsoka during O66 (him hesitating and telling her to find Fives) and protect CF99 from the Empire/swarms of storm troopers, sacrificing himself.

What I’d like to see happen:

Cody and Crosshair hunt down CF99+Rex. The big group splits into 2–Crosshair+batchers and Rex/Echo/Cody. Crosshair has a convo w/ Hunter, Wrecker and Tech about the Empire while Rex+Echo talk w/ Cody, definitely bringing up Obiwan/Anakin/Ahsoka. Rex gets Cody to doubt himself/his loyalties to the Empire, but worries there’s nowhere to go/run. But it just so happens that Rex knows a certain senator (Bail Organa) that’s been helping remaining Jedi/clones/people still loyal to the Republic. Rex puts Bail in touch w/ Cody. Bail mentions a certain general on Tatooine and Cody starts crying cuz he thought he killed Obi and Rex and Cody HUG (like tight gripping/crying all of it). Cody’s relieved Obi’s still alive, but immediately thinks about Rex and Anakin and asks about General Skywalker and comforts Rex when he tells Cody ‘only Commander Tano survived’ or something (at this point not even Ahsoka knows Vader=Anakin, she doesn’t find out until Rebels).

Anyways, the episode/story would end and Crosshair decides to go off on his own (not w/ the Empire or w/ CF99–think Boba/Ventress in later seasons) and Cody (who gets his chip removed) decides to go w/ Rex to meet up w/ Bail (I imagine they would have talked through a communication device/hologram or something). Bail sets Cody up w/ a small ship that’s nondescript and ready to go to Tatooine. The last shot is of Cody’s ship heading towards a beige/tan planet w/ 2 suns with Cody’s voice saying ‘I’ll find you’ referring to Obi or something.

I also loved the idea that Dex (the diner owner from AotC) knows some of the 212th boys since he’s good friends w/ Obi and Cody walks in one day acting different (still chipped). Dex gets all suspicious and whacks Cody w/ a frying pan (think Rapunzel/Flynn from Tangled) and that messes w/ the chip (cuz Wrecker hit his head and made it worse). Cody gets it taken out and thanks Dex for helping and tells him if he sees any more clones, to ‘help them out’ so any time a clone comes in, Dex just smacks the shit out of them with a frying pan. Obviously this is more comedic/not really serious, but I saw that post going around and loved the idea. I loved that Obiwan had friends outside the Jedi/clones.

[nerafris]

You’re sweet

I feel embarrassed because I have no idea what are you talking about, I had to search for every single game :(

…but the first scenario on wow seems hilarious if you want to piss off someone :p

Why do I have the impression that you are toxic towards people on multiplayer games? and if you don’t win you blame your teammates ahahah

I searched for MMO and couldn’t find anything, I’m sorry but what is even that :(

Unravel Two seems SO CUTE I might try

You should try Morocco Mint & Spices from Lipton or Masala Chai (made by yourself). They are quite good.

I’m so sorry you have to deal with that. And tbh I don’t think it’s your fault. But I do hope that every time you look in the mirror, you fall in love a little bit more with yourself every day and recognize the bravery, strength, and beauty that you possess. I also hope you find serenity to calm your heart and reduce your anxiety.

No need to be embarassed, there's such a huge variety of games that it's very easy to not intersect with a lot of them. Actually most people i know generally don't play any games i do and vice-versa. Actually your impression could not be more wrong :P I don't think i've been toxic to a single person in a multiplayer game in easily 15 years. There's very few things i hate more than it actually. Being mean to anyone, especially a stranger, for any reason whatsoever is completely unacceptable imo. Not only does it serve no purpose (i strongly dislike inefficiency (which is funny cause my brain is like the most inefficient thing ever but i digress)), but it also just specifically only harms people, and you never know what someone is going through, an offhand comment can have devastating consequences. If i witness someone i personally know being toxic to someone over a fricken video game, i will always instantly bring that to their attention and try to make them understand that it's extremely uncool behavior. I understand venting but there's infinitely better ways for it. If i participate in something and it fails i will always take responsibility and blame, usually way more than my share of it was but that's how i've been conditioned (my mistakes are the only things i can act on, so it only makes sense to only focus on those, and that then usually results in a magnified perception of said mistakes). This includes but isn't limited to team based games :3 MMO is a genre, the most famous example in it would probably be World of Warcraft. The genre isn't really that popular anymore, it kinda has too many issues to really work nowadays, but i love them ^^ Unravel Two is adorable and so much fun. You could check out the first one since that's a solo game, whereas the 2nd is definitely more fun with a fren :3 I'd love to try your recommendations but i'm doubtful i'd be able to get my hands on the lipton one. Eastern Europe and not being part of EU means fewer global products are available, and shipping is an insane pain in the butt. Masala Chai sounds doable so we'll try. I appreciate the kind words, and like i said, i'm trying to work through my stuff but it's rough and honestly feels kinda hopeless. I trust that gives some insight as to the hesitance for getting involved with someone. That's a lotta text, too much? Idk if i'm oversharing atp.

[chloeworships]

There is also judgement coming for ppl doing crazy acts for fame. For people setting others up to sin making snares for them. Why? Because innocent people are being hurt by the irresponsible actions of others just for attention. It’s shameful.

This message also confirms what the LORD said about Iran’s regime change AND the dream I had about the judicial woman and her plot to stop a world leader with her “storm troopers”.

Who is attempting to overthrow your government’s and your nations?

Like Sharon, please pray.

A post shared by Mysterious Universe 🪐 (@mysteriousuniverse_us)

After posting this I heard

“Everyone’s ready”

I hope so because many ppl say they love God but don’t live like it. They honour the LORD with their lips but their hearts are far from him for if they loved God, they would do as he asks. They would change. They would repent.

In the beatitudes Jesus says

God sees our hearts babes. Anyone can say they love Jesus but do they act like it? Are their hearts really for God or are they against him? This is what bearing good fruit 🍓 means.

It’s interesting to see we saw God in the IG post. Something very similar happened to me once on a sunny day but nothing this spectacular.

I look forward to seeing the pure hearted receive their blessings 🩵🌸

I have some other prophecy’s to share that are a little heavy and a love message.

PS. The clock that was missing on the tower means time is up. Idk on what but time is up babes. God is patient and he gives us almost endless chances to get it right but some people don’t ever stop their reckless behaviour.

Pray for Israel 🇮🇱 The United States 🇺🇸 and the United Kingdom 🇬🇧

PPS. The LORD said “he is like a strong tower”. When he showed me the vision of the tower it was in grey stormy skies just like the weather in the video 👀

Check out Sharon’s channel of which the LORD told me to share. I too have received warnings about states in America 🇺🇸 the most recent being Texas and California.

‘Coincidentally’ (I’m using that term loosely since there are no coincidences with God) I secretly began a Daniel Fast, and so I too know this wasn’t a coincidence that I was being shown her at this exact moment in TIME ⏱️

I am glad to see other messengers of God praying for Israel 🇮🇱 because I KNOW he wasn’t just speaking to me.

She also talks about PM Benjamin Netanyahu who I too received a message about and I promise you as surely as I live if anything happens to that man God will take vengeance. He showed me himself as V for Vendetta. He knows I love Lego keychains 🥰

I have another message from the LORD and it’s about GOVERNMENTS.

Also, you all know your girl does not fear monger. Every warning ⚠️ on this blog comes to pass. I tried to tell everyone to support Israel no matter WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE because God knew the manipulation being done behind closed doors 🚪 (I have a vision to share about something else like this too).

God is going to overthrow and defeat Iran and its proxy groups. Be ready to partake in that because they are A THREAT to NATIONS everywhere including Russia 🇷🇺

SN: God has not forgotten developing nations. I pray for them too but sometimes to help these nations God has to remove wicked leaders of other more powerful countries and war is sometimes how it’s done. I don’t make the rules. If you read your Bible’s you’d see this is how God does this.

Some of Iran’s leaders have created a wicked regime and they must answer to God for what they have done to instigate war, death and famine. Some American and EU leaders are also unconcerned with God’s word and thereby implicit and they too will have to answer to God for refusing to listen 👂🏾 Bills and policies have been held up because of BIG EGO’s and BIG MOUTH’S playing ping pong with the lives of their constituents instead of focusing on what God asks.

My heart aches to have to deliver this message… truthfully it is broken 💔

Prophets of God, warn everyone ⚠️

“Big Ben” stand strong

The LORD showed me a very fat cow 🐄 recently... bigger than the one he last showed me. More on this later.

[athenaalexandria]

I get so angry when Europeans talk recently. They just punch down at Americans and make fun of us. They tell us our country history and culture isn’t important, that we are all uneducated idiots, that we’re fat and loud, that we make everything about race, and of course “at least our kids are alive” which is just an awful thing to joke about since it is an ACTIVE TRAGEDY that STILL HAPPENS.

It really does come down to almost a class divide, Americans are the poor and dirty idiots, we are the entertainment. We are blamed for things out of our control, or for reactions we’ve had to our abusive government. Cause guess what, most things are about race for us, our history may not be as old but it still was massively impactful to our current lives, we are fat because our government doesn’t protect us from the worst chemicals in our food and because we aren’t paid enough to eat healthy. Our country relies on cars because our government was lobbied by car manufacturers to make us car reliant. We are uneducated because our government is actively suppressing our education, not protecting our children, and not providing any childcare resources.

Then they will say “oh but stupid Americans always compare states to countries, they’re not the same”. Like yeah they’re not countries, but most states have the landmass and population to rival European countries. They each have their own governments with their own laws. The federal government is just like a stricter more homogeneous EU. It takes longer to drive from one end of the US to the other than it does to drive from Paris to Russia.

You make fun of Americans for never leaving the US, not thinking of the cost of travel which is often thousands of dollars, or the fact that visiting California for an Alaskan is probably just as exciting as if a Brit visited California and so why would they leave the country? And when we DO leave the country, you make fun of us for being loud and obnoxious and smiling too much and being too polite. First of all, tourists are loud, Japanese students and British families in New York are just as loud as Americans visiting Italy. Second, why are you mad at us for being happy, enjoying ourselves, AND DOING THE THING YOU SAID WE SHOULD DO BY LEAVING THE COUNTRY!? Like just because you think it’s weird we say please and thank you so frequently doesn’t mean you can make fun of us, you don’t make fun of Japanese people’s extreme politeness in such vicious and constant ways?

Finally if you’re gonna dish it out, learn to take it back. I’m gonna say Swedish and Norwegian sound the same, I don’t care that you had a war 900 years ago and are still racist towards each other and the Danish to this day, that doesn’t make me comparing your languages an opening to make fun of the children being gunned down. They aren’t props, this isn’t American TV, we aren’t your entertainment. Those are real kids dying.

In conclusion to my late night rant, America is a cesspit, but unless you’re gonna throw a rope or donate money to build a lift to get us out of this mess, shut the fuck up and check your privilege Europeans. Americans are not our government, we are suffering, and you telling us that cops aren’t that bad and we should just vote is the least helpful thing you could do.

Gripper Check | AIRika/Adrik | Trial 3.6 | Re: Arakiel, Kenshin, Eureka, Erisu | ATTN: Erik A, Eureka

Adrik wants to slam their head into a wall with the amount of time they've been accused by now, and they're visibly annoyed. However, they still don't snap, or yell, or doing anything that AIRika might've done previously.

"If I killed everyone important, I'd be killing the loved ones of people I actually care about here. You think I'd be able to forgive myself if I killed, say, Erik's mom? Or Erik A's sister? Hell, even Eureka's younger clone. I'm not a good person, but even I'm not that horribly fucked up.

Besides... yeah, my situation with my ex is bad. True. Erik A told me he was going to handle it, though. I don't know how, you'd have to ask him. I have a few ideas, though, considering what we had access to before all of this.

Also, I asked for a favor ticket for the sake of taking care of Ani just in case. Not in a deadly way, God no. I just was going to see if there was a way I could make it so she couldn't share what she learned. I still have it. I never used it. I was waiting to see what Erik A was going to do.

And besides... I've given up. I can't just go back to being AIRika after all this, can I? Not even if I was exposed or not. I just can't. It feels wrong. I know that's not a good defense, but it's true. I want to be real. I just wish it was on my own terms.

They sigh, shaking their head.

"I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who burned something today, and it was pretty bad. The room was smoky for a reason. I just can't cook, and I probably never will after today.

Either way, Eureka had a bowl that Kenshin spotted, and that's a bit too damn good of a coincidence."

They look at Erisu, and shake their head.

"Eureka doesn't know plants, yeah. But she also just contradicted herself. She just said everyone knows hemlock, and everyone knows it's poisonous. Is that not a confession she knew what the plant was? She even identified it for my group during the investigation. Sure, she might not be good at plants, but she absolutely knows this one.

You know what she does have, though? Just like Erisu said? Mechanical knowledge and medical knowledge. The device that was created was honestly creative, and used electrical tape from the workshop that were purchased before today. I know this because my group asked AION about it. That's totally an item she would have on her person, considering her past contraptions made here. The electrical tape and amount of needles also could prevent breaking the needles, right? If they're all bunched together, it'd be difficult to break. Either way, that point is void, since the trap still worked and the needles killed even if they're brittle.

Her medical knowledge also means she'd know how to administer the poison effectively, and how to even do hemlock poisoning. I didn't know what hemlock was until literally today, but I feel like most people would've probably defaulted to trying to get the other party to consume it. Injection? Especially only at the surface level? That's sure a lot of specialization.

And again, she had multiple chances to find the letter and create a plan to attack. The earliest I learned of any of this was when I was in the eatery with Erik, where Erika Chen told us she was going to play mermaids in the pool. That's all the knowledge I had, and seeing that I left at 5:10PM, just like Arakiel said, that would give me only, I don't know, maybe thirty minutes to create my plan and execute it. I also had no electrical tape, so I would've had to go to the store, which we know didn't happen, or get it elsewhere."

A feet check? They can agree to that. Their flexibility means they're able to easily lift their foot in the air, revealing white flats. Their feet are medium in size. They then take the shoe off and hold it out, showing the size marker inside: size 38 EU.

"I wore different shoes when I got caught in the rain and changed since they were soaked, but the size is obviously the same. My group also matched my feet to the footprints in the dorm hallway, which at least proves that.

Now, we just need to see Eureka's."

[imfromthemiddlekingdom]

Look when a sci-fi religion/culture takes HEAVILY from my own culture/religion and I see white people/westerners shit on it for being “too emotionally repressive” and “too uncaring since people don’t say I love you 24/7” it gets to the point that I will say that them comparing us (or a bastardization of my culture) to emotionless sub-humans is deeply disturbing.

The original GL trilogy may have been pulling on a lot of orientalist tropes and bad western interpretations of Buddhism but in the end it is still at its core invoking a bunch of Buddhist tropes and teachings.

A lot of people here go like “GL was racist and didn’t know what he was talking about the Jedi code is nothing like any of the sutras in Buddhism!!!” And I just want to ask. Have you read 心经? Or even 金刚经? Am I gatekeeping Buddhism from idiots who’ve never participated in any of our rituals and traditions, who’ve never spent months of their summer holidays memorizing and copying by hand the scriptures onto calligraphy paper to be bound and read by their descendants? Yes. I am. If you want to say that there are aspects of Jedi culture that isn’t align with Buddhist teaching, go ahead. It’s not meant to be a word by word copy of my religion. It’s a creative interpretation that I see no problem with as it does not paint us in a negative light as so many other orientalist inspired media does.

I especially love how you go ahead and say that people who defend the hate Jedi get by saying that the aspects that gets the most hate is inspired by a real world religion/culture is a “bad thing”. Please tell me how people saying that the Jedi’s philosophy of non-combatism lead directly to their genocide, and how it’s soooo cool and just that they got genocide because they preached compassion and enlightenment but still failed in some aspects therefore it must mean they all deserve to die!!!

No one is saying that the Jedi are Buddhist. They call themselves monastic warrior monks who serve the galaxy. No where in high cannon or in EU do they say that they are Buddhist nor do anyone in either of the continuities call Yoda 观音(guanyin). Since I’m on this line of thought let me ask why you would consider Yoda Guanyin when Mace Windu is right there or hell Shaak Ti represents her values quite well and so does Depa for the matter. If you were to compare Yoda to any one of the four major deities it would be 如来佛祖 and not guanyin. Anyone how is even marginally religious would be baffled as to why you declared Yoda to be Guanyin.

I understand your post is in bad faith as you’ve expressed many times on your blog that you are fine with the Jedi’s being the victims of genocide but to attempt to speak on the behalf of all Buddhist when there are more Buddhist sects then Christian sects in the world and at least one of them (关羽本土教) is probably the closest we would get to a irl Jedi code is disingenuous in the extreme. Speak for yourself. Do not attempt to slather on the view that we are all Jedi haters because we feel it’s “cultural appropriation” just to feed your hate boner for the Jedi.

Jedi stans, Jedi fanatics, let’s set the record clear:

The Jedi order, while drawing some influence from Buddhism in certain areas, IS NOT Buddhism.

Please, stop comparing your space wizards from a 1970s science fiction film to a real religion with a storied history and that’s been an cornerstone of countless civilians for more than 2k years.

You can like the Jedi, you can love the Jedi, but slow your role and stop treating the Jedi Order like it’s even equal to buddhism.

The Jedi Order has no cultural importance. Hasn’t done Jack shit for anybody, and has never once in the entire history of the known universe been considered a REAL religion.

Yoda IS NOT Guan Yin

Mace Windu IS NOT Padmasambhava

Plo Koon IS NOT Manjushri

I’m begging y’all as someone who isn’t a Buddhist to stop this absurd bullshit.

As an outsider looking in, this behavior isnt cool. I think it’s problematic and y’all do it disingenuously just because you care too much about the space wizards.

If you respect buddhism as much as y’all scream y’all do when a bitch clowns the Jedi, then y’all would stop mocking this religion and it’s followers by equating their beliefs to the 1970s science fiction film fictional space magicians.

It is disrespectful. It waters down their religion and adds more stereotyping towards Buddhism because whenever someone hears “I’m a Buddhist” they’ll be like “oh like the Jedi?”

Having your religion compared and equated to the space wizards club that’s led by a broken English green gremlin IS NOT the flex y’all think it is.

Stop this mocking behavior. Leave this religion out of your bullshit please respect these people’s faiths and traditions.

Buddhism isn’t some fucking shield for your stupid fake space mages. Stop using doing this it’s so fucked up (imo)

This is a real religion. Stop using it to defend your stupid ass space wizards please.

[cobertoravermelhado]

Hey!!! How are you?

I liked your writing style!

You must be Brazilian, Portuguese or Angolan to have a name that means, in English, “red blanket”, am I right? I'm from Brazil (my account name is literally brazilian anon, so of course I'm brazilian), so I think you are because of your account name

Well... I came to send you a request

Can you do Hanako and/or Tsukasa with a s/o who is bullied?

If you feel uncomfortable, you can delete this ask, I understand because it's a heavy topic

Helloo!! So sorry for the delay, I forgot that now I write things- 💀

But I hope you enjoy it!!

E na verdade eu uma brasileira, difícil achar brasileiros por aqui vey 🐦

Warnings: Bullying, Tsukasa, Spoilers?, Suggestive themes and mentions of death. If you feel uncomfortable with these themes please do not read this headcanon.

-Hanako is not accepting this

-He hates see you go through this

-He hates to see the person he loves the most and he cares in so much pain

-It hurts a lot and it brings back memories of the past

-Well, but don’t you worry, Hanako is here to help and protect you...you’re too precious for him

-He is always there for you, to hug you, hold you in his arms, comfort you and calm you down

-If they physically hurt you, Hanako will do his best to tend to your injuries and make sure you don't feel any more pain

"Is it too tight?" He asks you while carefully covering your wrist with bandages.

You sniffs, feeling calmer since Hanako is taking care of you. "No, it’s fine." You smile weakly. Hanako feels his heart sting, immediately pulling your trembling form into a tight hug.

“It’s okay...” He gently strokes your hair.

“I’m here with you.”

-Over time you will notice the bullying disappearing little by little...

-You will see your bullies overstressed, too much overstressed, they’re worried about other things than hurting you

-It's gotten to the point where they won't even look you in the eye, like they're scared or running away from something

-Something...

-Well, something obviously happened to them

-But you didn't care much about that

-Hanako is always there to protect you, you must always remember that

-Oh! He clings to you all day, making sure no one else hurt you

-Oh no...

-Tsukasa is not taking all this in a good way

-Well, of course he's seeing this in a bad way, after all his precious S/O is getting bullied!

-But Tsukasa has his own way of seeing things happening around him

-And very unfortunately for your bullies, Tsukasa sees them as his victims

-Things that need to disappear right away

-But you are his first priority!!!

-He always do his best to comfort and take care of you

-He orders everyone out of the room so the two of you are alone

-He will hug you and hold you tightly, letting you cry into his chest as he strokes your hair. He’s not very good with words

-If your bullies physically hurt you-

-.....this made him boil with hatred inside. His eyes go completely black as various ways to get rid of these things run through his broken mind-

-If your bullies physically hurt you, he will tend to your wounds and bring Sakura to help you too

"Does it still hurt?" He asks curiously as he holds you tight in his arms.

You shake your head in “no”, making Tsukasa hums in response as you just melt and now relax in his grip.

-You weren't bullied the next day, nobody bothered you!

-And the other day too!!!

-In the other too!

-And the other too

-The other too

-The other..

-The other and the other...

-You've also noticed that your bullies didn’t show up anywhere else throughout the entire school

-And you didn't hear anyone talk about them either

-What happened?

-It doesn't matter, Tsukasa is here to protect you!

[initial reactions] Doctor Who 13x05 - Chapter 5: Survivors of the Flux

In bullet form now since this is very much set-up:

We’re right about the old lady being Tecteun, everyone give yourselves high fives! Also a lot of it is down to how the actress portrayed the kind of dismissive Mom Energy at Thirteen. What a bitch.

I still think the Doctor is from Gallifrey, formed in a bootstrap paradox. A modern Gallifreyan meeting past!Gallifreyan.

Everyone who thought that Division grew more from Time Lord purview (also confirming Tecteun is the Third Founder), give yourselves a pat on the back. Everyone who thought that Division meant the division between Space Time. ANOTHER ROUND!

THAT HOLO WITH YAZ. (Seriously, Chibnall is an EU Star Wars fan, like its not even speculation at this point). BUT ALSO I MISS YOU.

Also, there’s always been a streak of hardlined pragmatism running through Yaz, ever since Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos. She was prepared to sacrifice one of the Ux to save the Earth, in Haunting of Villa Diodati she was also conspicuously silent when Ryan gently broached letting that, Shelley die.

KATE STEWART. I knew, I knew Chibnall writes the Best Kate Stewart. Of course she would be leading the Human Resistance. OF COURSE SHE WOULD GO UNDERGROUND TO RUN A TEAM. I AM VINDICATED.

Look, I’m just gonna call the Grand Serpent as Brax. He clearly recognized the TARDIS. Also, no wonder the Brigadier was unfazed about the Third Doctor’s TARDIS, because they already have one in Storage. LOL.

It seems the TARDIS is still rebooting, when the Doctor says it takes awhile... she meant it takes awhile. But also, I suspect we might get the hearing TARDIS engines means Hope Moment.

DI! I love her and she’s gonna punch Azure when she meets Azure again, I’m so happy she’s not just gonna be a damsel but actively looking for a way to escape and fight back.

INDIANA JONES!YAZ. Also, I love that she’s unsure about taking the Pot.

FETCH YOUR HUMAN.

See, this is what happens if you blow up Sontaran fleet, they’re gonna be sure to come back even more petty and attack Earth.

THIRTEEN AND THE ANGEL FIELD. I love her.

THE HOUSE.

Tecteun being an absolute bastard, and my GOD the entitlement she really does think she transcends Time Lords now but she comes from that society. Tecteun and Rassilon are really a match made in BASTARDY and there’s poor Omega in the corner.

And once again, my theory about the Chameleon arc made for the Doctor is bearing fruit. Tecteun and Rassilon definitely invented that to control the Doctor because the Doctor keeps running away, keeps trying to do good. Keeps making a choice to be better than the life they were given, better than the society they were raised in.

I loved how angry and defiant Thirteen was with Tecteun. Thirteen expecting her ‘mother’ to kill her in the end even as Tecteun is supposedly offering her the universe. People keep offering the Doctor the universe/s but all they ever want is to travel and experience its wonders.

Swarm killing Tecteun in revenge to what happened to him and Azure. That was effectively fast, I have to think how I feel about that.

Tecteun focusing on Earth because she knew the Doctor loved her Earth a lot. An asshole from start to finish, just because the Doctor kept choosing Earth over her, over the Time Lords, over everything.

The Doctor was a foundling used and abused over and over again, but the Doctor chose in every life. And this started in this life with two teachers they kidnapped and found courage again to be better through the actions of the Humans they’ve associated with.
