#but it is all about wanting to fight

[mask131]

Given a lot of people are playing around the whole "Jews should shut up" card, I need to tell you a little story about why you should be on the watch for antisemitic discourse, whether you are Jew or not, and why also some of you need to start looking at things in their entirety, not just through one specific angle.

(I want to go back to making my dumb little Ségurant posts but this story kept hanging over my head so I just need to get it out of my chest, maybe as a way for people to open their eyes about this)

If you were here some times ago you will recall I made a post about the recent boom of antisemitic behavior, posts and speeches on Tumblr after the attack of the Hamas on Israel (an attack some people claim never existed and was completely made up, just like 9/11, but that's another trash pile to get rid of later). My post wasn't even about the Israel-Hamas situation, but about simply "Wow, there's a LOT of antisemitism on this website, and many people use the Israel-Palestine situation as an excuse to say the dumbest shit". Which is no surprise because Tumblr always had a massive trend towards the worst side of what, using the French political spectrum, I'd refer to as "the left" - and one of the worst of the extreme-left is of course antisemitism (which is precisely what proves that extreme-left and extreme-right are basically the same thing, but that's yet again another subject)

So I made this post pointing out "Wow, there's a lot of antisemitism here". And it got quite popular - of course because of all the current events, etc, etc... And somebody came to me directly to react to my post. And this person said, basically, "You know, it is not because you had some negative experiences about yourself that you should blow things out of proportions. It is not because you dislike what you see people write about your kind that it means there's antisemitism on this website. Stop making a mountain out of a mouse."

Which is when I realized I got the person in blatant antisemitic behavior. Because there's one easy trick to get antisemitic people, and that you don't even need to "activate" consciously - let them believe you're Jewish, or let them assume you are Jewish, and see what they say. Because surprise surprise... I'm not Jewish. I just happened to see a lot of antisemitic stuff, and say I was really shocked by this. And this random person came in and assumed I was Jew... Aka they played the archetype of "The Whiney Jew". Because I complained about antisemitism, they assumed I must be Jew because in their mind only Jewish people will complain about antisemitism, because all-non Jewish MUST certainly see the "truth" of how Jewish folks are just self-victimizing. (And down this line, the person did not say this, but I know some who did, we get down the path of stuff such as "Oh yeah, the holocaust did not exist, everybody knows the Jews made it all up").

Anyway this person thought I was Jewish, and so tried to gaslight me. By assuming I had some personal antisemitic attacks, and by making me believe I was projecting my personal experience onto a whole website, and that I was just victimizing myself. Having been gaslit for a very long time on other subjects, I immediately recognized the move - and it was even easier to see what they were doing since I never had any personal antisemitic experience in my life since I am NOT JEWISH.

I easily cut off their deal by pointing out I was not Jewish. And what the person did (I later learned they were very into Orthodox Christianity, even making their whole blog about it) was what we in French call "noyer le poisson" - drown the fish. Take a side-subject or a detail in my speech, and make the discussion all about it to try to smother the thing that made them look bad. In this case they accused me of lying about not being into devil-worship (because if you notice I have a Black Butler icon, and a Goya painting on my blog). For them it was proof that I was either a "witch" or into "devil-worship" and when I said no they insisted I was lying... But if I had defended myself about this, it would have completely derailed the conversation and THAT is what they wanted. Because they wanted me to stop talking about how, when they believed I was Jew, they tried to gaslight me into believing the antisemitic boom of Tumblr was all in my head.

I did not gave them this pleasure. But this little story of me and this person actually completely encapsulates so many other interactions I had or posts I saw or discussions I "heard" on this website. People who just come in to either try to pretend antisemitism does not exist, either start changing the topic of a talk every time antisemitism is brought up.

Everybody knows that the antisemitic depiction of the Jew is the "greedy, hooked-nose, manipulator who secretly controls the media and politics", right? But everybody seems to forget that there are many, many vicious and vile caricatures of Jewish people made by the hydra of antisemitism, an hydra that keeps changing head depending on the era, the country or the political leaning. And so there are many, even contradictory, antisemitic depictions of the Jews. The "whiney, complaining, victimizing" Jew is another antisemitic cliche that people claiming things such as "The Holocaust did not happen" or "The attack of Hamas did not happen" are gleefully using.

I already was disgusted by what I had seen on Tumblr before (I even considered quitting the website) - but having this person try to target me simply woke up by natural bitterness and misanthropy and desire to burn down all those nasty perverse brutes. So this is why I will be very active and vocal about every time I see antisemitic behavior.

So again, if you have antisemitic beliefs, please get the fuck off my blog. If you believe Jewish people have no right being in your country - whatever country it is - go fuck yourself and leave. If you support the Hamas while turning a blind eye to their openly antisemitic and genocidal agenda, go fuck yourself. If you support the Hamas while KNOWING their openly antisemitic and genocidal agenda, I won't say what I think should happen to you. If you support those dangerous organizations that want to "Give back France to French people" - and thus hunt down anyone that is not a White Catholic, go fuck yourself. If you are one of those neo-Nazis who think the Holocaust should continue, go fuck yourself. If you are one of those negationists who claim the Holocaust never happened, go fuck yourself. If you are one of those extreme-leftists who believe the Jews are like the Asians an "elite" or one of the "privileged" minorities, so priviliged they do not deserve to be ranked among other victims of oppression, go fuck yourself.

And you see how long and varied this "go fuck yourself" list is? That's the point I want to make. Antisemitism isn't about "Good people against antisemitism" versus "Antisemitic people". It is about "We have to face tons of various forms and types of antisemitism coming from all sides at once". Antisemitism lies in the extremes, but in the extremes of what? Of everything. Of Christianity, of Islam, of the left, of the right, of many nationalisms... A few years ago, "Everybody wants to kill the Jews" was a comedy-line, a joke referencing the historical persecution of the Jewish people - but now? Now that's literaly the news. It is happening on social media, in Europe, in America, in the Arabian world. And even though I'm not Jew I can't even escape it myself - it is everywhere on the news, be it TV or newspaper ; it is everywhere on the Internet (I do not even check the tags that could bring out the most antisemitic part of this website because I am not ready to quit Tumblr yet) ; it is even IN THE GRAFFITIES INSIDE THE TOILETS OF MY UNIVERSITY! I can't take a fucking piss without having antisemitic words pop up, written with scissors or markers on the wooden door of the toilets...

Part of the reason that Republicans are so desperately acting like they will never lose again is because they are deeply terrified that this is their last real chance to win. The big orange dipshit came in and gutted the party of everyone who wasn't a loyalist, which left it full of nasty little gremlins who have gaping voids where charisma and human decency is supposed to go.

They still hold a lot of power, but if we stop them this year the next presidential election may not be the Most Important One Of Your Life™, that's not a guarantee or anything, but if they don't win here and now their future looks grim, this dipshit is the only guy they have left and he's extremely diminished and has his brains leaking out of his ears at this point. We can beat him into the ground.

So that's what we're gonna fucking do. We're gonna break these fucking fash. They will crash upon us and we're gonna break their fucking necks. When they come for us they will lose because they're fucking losers and we have each other's backs which is something they fundamentally are incapable of comprehending.

my main advice for writing an enemies to lovers relationship is to resist the urge to make the characters' loathing and attraction mutually exclusive opposing forces. it's okay if they're getting weirdly into it and having Thoughts whilst also sincerely wanting to kill each other with hammers.

Hello ! I positively adore the running joke of Idia unknowingly finding Lilia to be the coolest guy ever whenever he doesn't know it's him, like when Silver described his father, or obviously with muscle red. I can't say what'd be funnier, Idia finding out his online best friend is actually Lilia, resident spooky hyper fairy; or them both never finding out, and it'd become even more ridiculous as time goes on. How do you think it'll play out ? You're always so on point

(Also, though it makes sense, I'm still devastated bat boy didn't get a ticket for the Halloween skeleton train : ( does anyone mentions him at some point ? Like how he'd have fit right in with all those Halloween town little freaks, and how he'd have impressed them with his spooks and scared techniques; after all he's been every Briar Valley's children worst fear on Halloween for centuries. I'm on the eng server and I didn't wanna spoil myself by watching the whole thing on youtube)

Have a nice day !

you and me both, Idia and Lilia being oblivious online BFFs (+ Idia being incredibly intimidated any time Silver brings up his jock gamer dad) is my favorite running joke/subplot. 🤝 it's SO good, to the point where I also am unsure if I actually want it to ever be resolved or not...maybe, like, as a post-canon stinger or something? everyone's standing around covered in overblot ink, and Idia and Lilia's phones go off at the same time...

(legit I do think this is part of why Idia couldn't be present for Lilia's dream, because for some reason Lilia decided he was going to just. embody his past self online. he probably quotes his own battle strategies or whatever in the middle of boss fights. Idia didn't pick up on the whole "oh how weird that we both live on a super remote island" thing, but he would spend thirty seconds listening to General Lilia describing siege warfare and be like "w-wait")

all that aside, however it does end up happening, I do see Lilia being very blasé and all "oh! cool!" about it. y'know, taking it very much in stride! and Idia...very much not.

(can't tell if tumblr is going to chew this into illegibility or not, this will be a fun surprise ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ)

as for Lilia sadly missing out on Halloweentown shenanigans...he does get one little mention as part of an offhand reference to the light music club, but so far no one has brought up how this basically is just Lost In the Book of Liliatown (Sebek's been too busy yelling about not getting to be in the same group as Malleus). 😔 honestly though, it's probably for the best that he got left out, because he would just settle right in and refuse to ever leave. canon would shatter. we would miss out on all the delightful angst of episode 7 because Lilia is too busy eating poisonous shrubbery inbetween practicing his very best screams, and no one can pull him away from it.

(I can hope for a sequel next year though...)

“In the end, we’ll all become stories.”

[lass-us-slay]

So I read a prompt about how Wonder Woman found Danny in a trash can (don’t remember which one) and I was bored.

So I took that lil info and made it into an AU.

So basically, Danny get yeeted into this unknown universe and has no where to live. And no where to live means no money. No money means no food. No food means Danny can’t keep his human half sustained.

So what does he do?

Decides to not change into a human and live in a trash can.

Yes you heard that right, live in a trash can.

Because he’s a ghost, he doesn’t have to worry about the germs and stuff. But that doesn’t mean he lives in just any trash can! He lives in a clean one ☝️

AND he also decorated it with his name so other people know it’s his!

And so Danny has been here for a while now and realizes

Holy shit there’s hero’s here- you know what, why doesn’t he have hero’s back home?!

And being minorly annoyed jealous (but he’s never admitting that)he thought:

Well since there’s hero’s here already, guess I’m not needed.

.

.

.

Good. I’m tired af

And so Danny caries on his life, being content with his trash can and scaring whoever comes into his alley. It’s fun. Sure he sometimes needs to ugh overshadow people to feed his human side, but other than that.

It’s going great.

But Danny doesn’t realize that with Amity gone (or smth, you choose) which was his haunt, he slowly makes the trash can into his new haunt.

And slowly but surely, Danny’s beloved haunt trash can starts to become other worldly kinda.

Yk because of the ectoplasm.

So now Danny’s lovely trash can haunt has more space inside and- Hey Danny can actually sleep in it better!! And he got some company too!

In the form of blob ghosts.

Two actually.

They keep his trash can clean and help purifying some corrupted ectoplasm that he finds. Because for some reason this universe’s ectoplasm seems half way artificial and tastes a bit weird. Which is where the blob ghosts help out in.

Everything was great.

Danny was loving the trash can life style.

He has two blob ghosts friends. Which he named Sam and Tucker, and yea they couldn’t talk but that was fine.

He wasn’t lonely, he wasn’t. He had two very much talking friends like Sam and Tucker.

However one day two weirdly dressed people- oh they were hero’s.

Well anyway they found him, one woman stripper and one furry guy.

But it was on accident! He was just peaking out of his beloved haunt trash can, and they spotted him.

He stared, they stared back.

Then the woman stripper asked him questions, even when he said:

“Don’t mind me, have a nice day!”

But they just kept bother him and giving him weird looks and glances.

Which- rude.

Didn’t they see his mark on his haunt trash can? Obviously it means it’s his home, so they shouldn’t be bothering him still. He’s safe as can be.

Plus.

It’s not like he’s looking at them in suspicion and weirdness, I mean look at them! What kinda cheep knock off vampire fury mix and American stripper style clothing are those!

They should mind their own business!

Just a silly lil drawing of this lmao, don’t mind me.
