Sansa didn’t feel horrified at Joffrey’s death and Arya didn’t in her grief still say that a dead Joffrey won’t bring her brother Robb back for y’all to revel in violence and miss the point of the books that badly.
#I get why he is the most hated character ever#but should we celebrate death?#grrm in his most recent interview also touched upon this point#he said (paraphrasing here) that sure Joffrey is a son a of a bitch but surely a son dying horrifically in front of his mother’s eyes calls#for sympathy#grrm really said look inwards and it was lost on even the people who present at the interview#gah#asoiaf#joffrey baratheon#arya stark#sansa stark#robb stark#game of thrones#will there be singing in the dark times?

Crazy wild shit man
#how are we straight up accepting the emmrich romance lich choice for how it’s written#does anyone feel me#hello???#no one else can see the inherent tragedy in this?#maybe I’m too mort ass pilled but um. trading away your life to escape death is no life at all#and why can’t rook be like. you killed yourself and took yourself away from me and now you have no skin for me to caress and no warmth for#me to share and though it’s still your consciousness you’ve a) gained a perspective I can never ever share and b) you have accepted#outliving me so thoroughly that I will be just a drop in the bucket of your life even if I get another good 50 years out of life.#why can’t I ask him is all this worth it without your heart????!??#why can’t I break it off?!!!???#why do I HAVE to celebrate this choice#emmrich volkarin#dav spoilers#and that’s not even getting into the philosophical questions surrounding fear and what it means to live like.#emmrich… has ocd. and I have no doubt that those fears are truly debilitating (despite this almost never coming up in the narrative)#and essentially this choice is one about how to deal with it. acceptance vs avoidance. and we see no consequences for either!!!#if he chooses to accept this fear as a part of him and work through it WE SHOULD SEE THAT WORK#he should struggle!! and that struggle should lead him towards making peace with that fear#AND!!#if he chooses to escape from that fear— to actively avoid ever resolving it— we should see him struggle with that too!!!!#molding your entire existence around this fear to the point you embody it… where are the emotional consequences for that!?#WHY DO I— AS SOMEONE WHO SUPPOSEDLY LOVES HIM— NOT GET ANY OPPORTUNITY TO PUSH BACK OR ASK SOME TOUGH QUESTIONS?!?#in a game about the tyranny of immortality… we can send our beloved to kill his mortal self to come back as an immortal husk.#and we’re not even allowed to be sad abt it the very next scene is some goofy cartoon shit at the lighthouse where every single person just#immediately accepts this reality and has no issues. not even taash 😭

god I love snow……would love to see some that doesn’t melt into death trap ice sludge within 48 hours……would love to not have it kill me some day
#we got snow!!! and I had a grand old time shoveling and playing with the dog in it and then cozying up inside yesterday#just to then within the next 24 hours#1. slip and bang myself up on a half-submerged street the city either purposefully didn’t clean or couldn’t be fucked to#2. get hit in the face by an icy projectile off a tree branch I was trying to clear so it doesn’t break under the weight#3. narrowly avoid death via a kilo chunk of melting hardened snow falling off a 10-story building directly at my head#4. even more narrowly avoid getting hit by a car skidding over ice at a crosswalk where the stoplight fritzed out from the cold#and 5. get sick.#I feel like there should be cartoon circus music playing in the background every time there’s snowfall in this goddamned city at this point#would love to live in a place where the government isn’t purposefully using it to restrict people’s movement….#anyway. happy holidays to all those celebrating right now!!! hope you’re warm and cozy and content#and possibly getting snow that’s nice to look at and isn’t actively trying to kill you#max.txt

but also baela rhaena being put aside by the showrunners despite them being one of like 5 people who survive this shit show...... choices
#last shot of the show should be jaehaera jumping (echoing helaenas death) after a pompous splendid wedding#everyone celebrating after the end of the war cheers and jubilation we survived this horrible period but now its done.#but oh no. the u forgot about the rot!!!!!!!!#cut to jaehaera jumping#asks#hotd

The French minister of the interior just forbid any demonstration in favor of Palestine 🙃
#but we're a “democracy” and “the country of human rights”#i'm not saying we should celebrate the deaths of israelis#and i guess that's the excuse for forbidding the demonstrations#but you can support palestine and denounce israel's colonialism without celebrating war and deaths#anyway in what world do you forbid demonstrations#in favor of a country???#wtf#*this is fine* meme#upthebaguette#tw racism#free palestine

Since it's not going in my article due to space constraints, i'll share a bit about Jane Manning James here. It won't be superfleshed out atm bc it got cut. I plan to do more later. As I am *Reorganized*, writing this for a Community of Christ publication, i researched Ld-S shared history to the point of Nauvoo. my article doesn't follow west (technically). the main resource was an LDS one (thank you v much for your freely available archive) asking about her time with the prophet of the Restoration.
Jane Manning James
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5fc7f509f94f1af6abde939e1dda6875/f83e6db0b50eed74-7a/s250x250_c1/2648a74b2804576feba58a2c1b4238bc5ec9268c.jpg)
A significant Black Latter Day Saint from the early church was Jane Manning James. A woman from Connecticut notably made the walk from Buffalo, New York to Nauvoo, Illinois on foot, with most of her family. This was only after being separated from the group of recently converted latter day saints in Buffalo, possibly due to their race. Jane was baptized in 1842 by missionaries in her home state of Connecticut. She recorded these things about her journey and arrival to Nauvoo and her faith when asked to recall her life living with Joseph Smith in 1905.
“When I went there [Nauvoo] I only had two things on me, no shoes nor stockings, wore them all out on the road�� They [Joseph and Emma] was looking for us because I wrote them a letter. There was eight of us, my mother and two sisters and a brother and sister-in-law, and we had two children, one they had to carry all the way there, and we traveled a thousand miles.”
She was sure in her belief of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ and Modern Prophecy. She says in her recollection, after seeing that Joseph Smith Jr was indeed the man in her vision in Connecticut, that “This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ and there will never be any other on earth. It has come to stay.” Sister James would later go west with the saints under the leadership of then Apostle Brigham Young.
--------
me tumblr posting again:
thank you for the example set Sister James on faith, dedication, and perseverance. She also had spiritual gifts, such as speaking in tongue and faith healing. She believed following the gospel, knowing it was a key to a better way of living life (for her.) it wasn't easy for her, and yet, i think the faith community i observe today (and mormonism in general) is better, just for her having lived it.
may she be at peace, and in a manner God, Sister Jane herself, and her family she led that meant so very much to her, see fit.
#the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints#latter day saint#afrostake#tumblrstake#mormon#mormon history#mormonism#religion#they dont mention anything about sealing bc we don't have it#most reorg saints don't know it exists nor that it was ever practiced#its simply assumed that will be the case. that your family will be there (and that there will be work to be done)#so i say it is unlikely that Sis Jane is actually eternally sealed to the Smiths as a servant bc God is no respecter of persons#who even said that Joseph is in the CK. he could be in the Telestial Kingdom rn as we speak. depending on how time / resurrection day works#Jane may be in the CK maybe having a sisterly relationship with Emma if that's how the afterlife works#i also don't believe the kingdoms are permanent. as a side note. if Joseph Jr ain't there i think he can be in God's time.#and josephites (reorganized saints) don't have a way to report card which kingdom they'll go too#and nobody talks about it bc its the afterlife and community of christ doesnt focus (or sometimes doesn't even care) about the afterlife#i've heard it talked about in depths twice and in general maybe 4-5 times. know a brother i meet with weekly who is newly widowerd#no one seems to think the work is over and that we well still be working and progressing in our faith helping others progress after death#that one is cultural - may come from common unwritten- early lds belief since L-dSaints have a new direction and more developed idea of thi#but for the sake of all sakes#can they not reseal her?#certainly a prophet could - listening to Gods call of liberation - see the symbolism and cultural moment that could be#or does post mortem sealing go off the rails? i don't go here. its often sweet and i think harmful in some ways too. JS Jr would Just Do It#but alas - i dont think emma should be involved with any of that. she wouldn’t want to do anymore sealing#i just think if you can do a baptism after death why not a sealing. but doing one would perhaps open a floodgate?#but perhaps its time for those many church generation Black families to be able to have that with they're bygone relatives#once i gave a mourning period & lively death procession & lively dance celebration on the alantic coast to#to honor all my ancestors/ predecessors who were killed and thrown into the sea or would rather die than be enslaved and jumped#danced in the same ocean they died in and dumped (state park approved) flowers into the sea

four cops were killed in my city and the fucking president of the united states is coming down to visit with the families
and like I'm not one to celebrate the death of someone, death is death and I don't think those cops should have died, but it is infuriating how every piggy who dies is valorized and it's painted as such a horrible tragedy, so much so that the president feels the need to show up for the families.
all of this while the CMPD are currently on college campuses beating the shit out of peaceful protesters. it's so fucking frustrating to see the local media stop and wail over the death of four cops while there is crickets over the police beating on college kids.
it's just so obvious that cops lives matter more that normal citizens and it just makes me so fucking angry. and I don't like being this angry. but seeing Joe FUCKING Biden crawl out of his hole to comfort the family of these cops while he's actively enabling genocide in gaza makes me so angry I want to vomit blood
#personal#like idk I never want to be the kind of person who celebrates the death of anyone#but the double standard that comes out when a cop died makes me so violently angry that I don't know what to do with myself#anytime you criticize a cop it's always “don't you know how dangerous their job is?! you should be grateful they protect you”#but the second a pig dies it's always 'what a horrible tragedy oh no this is just so awful we need to put everything on pause for this'#when like???? isn't this what they signed up for? i thought violence was part of the job description????#im not saying it's not awful that they died but if a lumberjack dies in a logging accident#the president of the united states doesn't show up at the family's door

I just know Duke loves celebrating the Ides of March
#the void screams#ides of march#duke thomas#i think he should send bruce ominous messages leading up to the day#nothing happens but bruce is looking over his shoulder for a prank the entire day#and SOMEONE left foam knives around in every single office in gotham but know one knows who.#the real scary one was the steak knife lex luthor found sitting innocently on his desk when he got to lexcorp that morning#none of the actual details get out but lex does spin the story to the press as 'receiving violent death threats'#tim is offended that he wasn't in on the celebrations of the ides of march. 'it's not my fault you didn't know we were celebrating'#'WHO'S WE' 'us.' 'AUGH'#(us is duke referring to tumblr as a whole but also to steph)#i maintain my headcanon that duke and steph are the only bats with tumblr#dick doesn't like social media but he has a facebook because a job had a work group once#jason uses instagram to take aesthetic pictures of his knives and give them captions from classic literature. usually with ominous vibes.#tim has twitter and reddit and loves egging on batman conspiracies.#cass doesn't use social media but she has a tumblr because steph has a tumblr.#damian has a tiktok that he uses just to look at videos of cats.#this is off topic but i digress#duke celebrating ides of march. you agree.

Tumblr seems to be divided on this so no clue how this will be perceived but you all realize we don't like billionaires becsuse of the lack of humanity it takes to become a billionaire right? And then can you also realize that jt takes an OBSENE lack of humanity to then celebrate the death of real life people (one of them a fucking 19 year old) in one of the most horrific ways possible. Please?
#oceangate#fuck billionaires but oh my god#the commentary on their hubris (which i think needs to be had) should not be celebrating their deaths#its disgusting#i get it. if this happened when i was like 16 im not sure i would have this percpective bht theyre people#corrupt people but the day we decide to stop caring about others on a very basic its bad theyre dying a horrible desth way is the day#we lose our humanity in my eyes

some of you guys weren't raised on heroes (2005) and it shows
#you're gonna denounce the show forever just because it started to suck???? me age 11 (biggest heroes stan alive) could never#it's making me so sad to see so many people who were so active in the tua fandom decide to leave it completely#idk there's a place in almost all my favorite shows i can point to where it all went wrong#(heroes s2. chuck s4. stranger things s3. supernatural s6 but the final death knell was s9 idk that one's complicated.)#(malcolm in the middle kind of sucked after s4. teen wolf went downhill after s3.)#(the witcher and twd had such consistently mid seasons i stopped watching. only the first season of the flash was worth it.)#doesn't mean i was any less obsessed with them or that i don't still look back on them fondly#why should i leave tua in the dust just bc i can add 'tua s3' to that list? hell it's already been on there for two years#like the obsession isn't nearly as strong as before but i still look back on the show and my experience with it fondly!#i know i keep saying it but i cannot begin to fully express how deep i was in with tua and how much of an impact it had on me#no one is obligated to stay or pretend to be happy but like yeah it makes me sad to see people turn their backs on it#we had so much fun for a while! that's what i want to keep celebrating and keep alive even if it's in a background casual way#the parts that we all loved and came together over were great!#i know there's not much of a reason to come back together again or to feel inspired#but like. it's one thing to be upset and uninspired. it kind of feels like another to decide to leave the fandom forever :(#no disrespect to anyone bc i do understand wanting to wash your hands of the whole thing. i just wish it didn't go down like this :(#anyways. i love you guys and i miss being a five stan when it was easy a little bit rn <3

Me unfollowing French "leftist" medias because they explain how they will stay "neutral" on the "conflict" and choosing a side is "supporting violence": This country is forgetting its roots.
Also, those mfs interviewed Palestinians journalists who are DEAD now just days ago. How dare they???
#Gaza has been under the bombs for the last two weeks wtf???#also leftist french have always shown extreme violence toward oppression#We have so many songs celebrating the violent death of the elites#palestine#free palestine#a french judging palestine should gave up on their nationality because bitch LA COMMUNE is celebrated and it was violent af#Qu'un sang impur abreuve nos sillons

…there are twinks that can get pregnant. Some twinks want to get pregnant. Sometimes twinks are trans babe.
The problem is with cishet people appropriating queer language. A cishet person looking at a cishet guy and saying ‘he’s such a twink I want to get him pregnant’ is homophobic. They’re first and least of all applying a queer term to a non-queer person (who often doesn’t actually fit the physical description that term describes). More importantly it’s treating ‘twink’ the same way cishet (and to an extent, younger and less experienced queer) people have been treating sub/dom and top/bottom. They reinvent a strict dichotomy solely based on whatever they imagine those words mean because they aren’t actually kinksters or queer. In this case they’re conflating twinks with whatever they think subs are just because the cishet person wants to dominate a dude and in their mind ‘twink’ is just a quirky queer word for ‘subservient/bottom/etc.’
Just say you wanna fuck him stupid and stop using queer vocabulary without understanding what it means.
#ra speaks#personal#rent lowering gunshots#hey if that ask wasn’t meant to be transphobic….honestly sorry I can’t imagine that ask being anything but intentionally transphobic lol#‘they’re not actually gay/they’re tomboys!’ lol. lmao even. babe you’re talking to a trans masculine bigender lesbian. why are you here.#get out of my kitchen or I’m hitting you with a wooden spoon#if a twink is trans and he wanna get mpregged good for him. your cisman celebrity crush is not a twink and won’t get pregnant.#just say you wanna fuck him dumb. don’t be queerphobic bc you wanna use queer vocabulary.#if you don’t know what this is about don’t worry but also. if you’re a transphobe what are you doing here. we fuck w gender here babes.#edit: you seem upset if you extrapolated this as a death threat to anybody who uses twink this way. I’m gonna have lunch.#you should probably have a snack and drink some water because that’s not a normal thing to say.

Hi guess who feels like he just experienced 8 consecutive days in a matter of 2?
#rennikorambles#holy fuHUCK I AM SO EXHAUSTED. I AM LITERALLY EXHAUSTED#I WOULDNT BE SURPRISED IF I SAY THIS MIGHT BE THE MOST EXHAUSTING TWO DAYS OF MY FUCKING EXISTENCE...#yesterday in class our very first subject was our advisory one and since the cheer dance has been crucial we just went down to practice#great straining start to the day! (i do like our cheer dance though i think we'll beat the other sections but MAN IS IT TIRING.)#and then i had to go over to the avr to get prized and shit for winning 1st place on the spelling bee(it was nothing dont even care abt it)#and then after that immediately had to go down (since this was the end of class) and practice AGAIN for 2 more hours#good god and thats friday for you#and im pretty sure this was when i discovered that my brother (who usually goes home at 4 and my practice ended then)#had left me behind and gone home already. and like usually whenever i have practice and end at 4 we just go home w#*together#but. yeah. that didnt have me feeling good but it was okay#and when i was ready to pass out hoHOH NOO NONO#my aunt decided hey! we should celebrate your wonderful high grades by going out together (me my brother and my cousin) and h#have a sleepover! and we were just. sure ok. so we had to pack IMMEDIATELY and get on going#more stuff and more waiting in traffic happened and shit and more shit#and then we got to the street mall and hogh boy MORE WALKING. but i love the place so i didnt mind (still walking though. haugh)#and then ate at a place ive never eaten at. i liked the food really! but then my stomach decided death for me#(apparently eating dinner 9 hours after lunch isnt good..?) so the rest of the time my stomach was squeezing and i felt like throwing up#but it was fine i didnt throw up! AND THEN ALSO I FAILED TO MENTION. My class paid to reserve 4 hours at a court to practice#which was at 10 am the next day. so i had to sleep early which i did! woke up at 7 <3 watched enola holmes....#bUT I STILL GOT SO FUCKING LATE I ARRIVED AT 11. didnt even get to savor the sleepover haugh..... and then practice OH practice. sufferings#after a whole problem with a bunch of idiots at the court that barged in we decided to cut the practice at 12:30#i got picked up by my parents then we went home! .BUT ITS NOT OVER YET. WE HAD TO BRING OUR HOUSEHELP TO HER HOUSE#and they said it'd be quick. just a quick drop off to help her.#bUT NOOOOO WE WENT TO THE FILIPINO EQUIVALENT OF COSTCO AND THEN AN AMUSEMENT PARK#WHICH WAS SO COOL OH MY FUCK BUT ALSO HOLY SHIT.#first of all i got to finally try the Vikings ride and a roller coaster! good news i can handle roller coasters!#bad news i cannot handle vikings. theyre.... overwhelming- i couldnt even SCREAM from how scared i was#anyways i roamed phil costco it was so fun. but my poor feet. i have sustained 5 different kinds of body pain.
