This came to me in a dream - PART 2

[garpen]

Lian call Jason Apa But she is not filipino is she?

No she is not filipino in the comics/my au. She is half Vietnamese on her mother's side.

"Apa" is also a way to say "dad" in Spanish! It's a shortened version of "papa", just one letter less! I'm mexican, so I head canoned Jason as Mexican in my AU.

I thought it would be a cute lil thing to add. Like Jason speaks spanish at home and she's picked up on some of it. And she's heard him say "apa" and she asked him what that meant and he told her "dad".

So she stored that away in her head and one day when she was introducing him to one of her school friends she was like "This is my apa." And Jason most definitely probably tried really hard not to cry in that moment.

Like not only is she calling him dad, but she's doing so in his native language which means so much more to him

✨Content Tagging Guide✨

disclaimer: this is not directed at anyone, nor was it sparked because I've seen anyone mistagging anything. I just like lists and I'm going to make it everyone's problem :)

So you wanna write a story with darker themes, but are mayhaps a little uncertain about all the different content warnings you've seen.

Not to worry! Hopefully this quick guide will clear things up. To illustrate each level, I'm going to use macaroni and cheese as the content example. Without further ado...

cw: macaroni and cheese

^^this warning is very general. It tells the reader the content will show up at some point within the text, but doesn't specify the detail, use, or extent.

cw: macaroni and cheese (mentioned)

They drove through town, past the busy main street, and the factory where the local brand of macaroni and cheese got its packaging.

This warning tells readers the content will be mentioned; maybe in dialogue, or in a description, but not explored in detail.

cw: macaroni and cheese (discussed)

"I'm lactose intolerant," he said. "So I can't---well, I shouldn't eat stuff like that."

"But you did anyway?" they pressed. "I'm sorry, just... How did it feel? After?"

"Awful. I really should've listened to my common sense and ordered something besides mac and cheese."

As you'd expect, this warning tells the reader that the content will be discussed, either in conversation, or through a character's thoughts. Discussions can involve the moral implications of the content, how the content fits within the world, philosophies relating to the content, and the emotional or lasting effects of the content on a character.

cw: macaroni and cheese (referenced)

He tapped her shoulder. "Hey, I didn't see you after work yesterday, you okay?"

"Fine now," she said, shrugging. "I just had a bad batch of mac and cheese for lunch."

Very similar to "mentioned", this warning often implies a non-explicit, non-graphic mention of the content.

cw: macaroni and cheese (implied)

He frowned down at the bowl, then averted his eyes, appetite lost by the gooey yellow mass inside, and the heavy, creamy smell wafting off it.

This warning tells readers that the content is not outright stated, but the character's reactions and actions imply what's going on. If you could remove the context from the scene/paragraph in question and make it look like something else is happening, you probably have implied content. Note that there is a difference between simply "implied", and "heavily implied".

cw: macaroni and cheese (fade to black)

She took her seat at the table, queasiness building in her stomach. Her least-favorite food was to be served, and while she knew it would be rude to decline it, she wasn't looking forward to lunch. As the dreaded bowl was placed before her, she picked up the fork, and plunged it in.

Similar to implied, but instead of carrying on through the scene the content takes place in, fade to black builds up to the moment, and stops, often transitioning to the next scene before the content is given any kind of detail.

cw: macaroni and cheese (non-explicit)

For lunch, he was served a bowl of mac and cheese, one of his least favorite meals. He choked it down anyway, and hoped he wouldn't get an upset stomach.

This tells the reader the content will be present in some form, but not described in detail. It may have some active bearing on the character or plot, but won't be particularly graphic. While the character may be emotionally affected after the fact, the content itself is glossed over.

cw: macaroni and cheese (explicit)

The bowl was placed in front of him, steam still rising from the substance inside. He knew what it was before he looked. Mac and cheese. And he'd have to devour the entire bowl of it. He lifted the first forkful, strands of yellow cheese trailing from squishy curved noodles, all the way back into the bowl, even as he raised it to his mouth. Damn, it was extra cheesy. He knew his lactose intolerance just wouldn't hold up.

This is often used as the heaviest warning, telling readers that the content and the characters' reactions to it will be described in detail.

Again, this was something I mostly just wrote for fun, and to dramatize mac and cheese but I do hope someone out there finds it helpful. Let me know if there's a type I missed! :)

Every so often TNT goes in and updates some Neopets characters to better match current art styles and standards and it's always like

Stage 1: Some weird fucked up thing instead of an actual Neopet. may or may not be a human, some weird animal, or have copious amounts of gradients

Stage 2: Now an actual identifiable Neopet species. May or may not wear clothes but still quadrupedal. Minimal accessories and anthropomorphism

Stage 3: Gordon Ramsey

I don't wanna throw shade at anyone specific but it has been bothering me for months...

The Underworld in the Kirby Light Novel "Meta Knight and the Knight of Yomi" is, well, based on Yomi specifically. I do not know why the fandom calls it Hades regardless, the wiki calls it Yomi.

Hi folks! Passover is coming up!

It is a joyful holiday celebrating freedom from tyranny and oppression. But, the celebration of freedom would ring hollow without, at the BARE minimum, an acknowledgment of the oppression of the Palestinian people that has been going on for decades.

We are told that this oppression is happening in the name of Jewish freedom and Jewish safety. We reject this wholeheartedly.

None of us are free until all of us are free.

Jewish, Palestinian, both, or neither, our freedoms are interconnected.

Through this Haggadah, we hope you can hold this wish for freedom within your heart. We will also be donating 100% of the funds (and matching the donation) to the Kasken family as they try to reunite in Canada. We will be making our donation on the last day of Passover (April 29th).

(Small disclaimer that this is not the end-all be-all of Passover Haggadahs - it is just a way for us to share with you how we are celebrating with our family and friends. We are not experts, nor are we particularly religious. Feel free to adjust as you see fit).

Feel free to share around!

❤️💚🖤🤍

p.s. you don't have to be Jewish to purchase/download the Haggadah!

If you don't know what a Haggadah is, it's pretty much just a booklet telling the story of the holiday. It includes the prayers & customs and the order in which we do them, as well as a excerpt from the Torah (or an abridged version).

I can't speak for other families, but for Passover my family would make our own custom one each year and include writings, meditations, and invitations to think about the wider world.

would also like to point out that the flower Terry picks for Claudia and she has in Viren's dream

bears more than a passing resemblance to a Morning Glory 👀

a plant where each individual flower blooms only once, and dies on the same day 👀👀

frequently a symbol of death and rebirth 👀👀👀
