some outfits for @sunpoppa’s snow queen oc d’mari ❄️

[glenglam324]

So I don’t really have a full fledged story about my oc and the mcsm universe (or well my Au that she’s from), tho all I can say is that this image context came from episode 4 (a small rewrite I guess) where Glenn and Dmaris (the one on the left) stole the amulet from Jesse cause Glenn realized that the Amulet’s design looked exactly like her concept art for it (cause in this Au, Glenn originally made the amulets design before Soren stole it and made it his own without telling or crediting Glenn for their idea)

Nowell was with F at Spybar and Joel was thirdwheeling Loofmar. Who was your number 6 and 7? //

Spain was such a hard launch but ppl in the fandom especially dmaries keep denying it. Even random media accounts that posted them had non fans in comments calling them cute and hot couple etc. Those pics were self explanatory. Omar literally went there with Simon, his sister and his friends. The friends he wouldn't otherwise hang out with. He only went cause he was with Simon. Anyone who dismisses all these things and also the things that happened afterwards is in complete denial lol.

I don't know about random people in the comments but I think everything that went down with Damon Baker is more convincing.

Let's say -- for fun :D -- you're some kind of absolute serial killer who doesn't care about all these deaths and to you it's all justified as long as we DESTROY THE ENEMY!

We have got to destroy completely Hamas's ability to ever do this again. If they think that by displaying the hostages, or that the hostages are going to help them in this respect, they're wrong. It's clear that they're an evil that absolutely needs to be truly defeated.

Okay, so this is the Jedi vs. Empire. Got it.

Also known as the ends justifying the means. Otherwise to make an omelet gotta break a few eggs and poop in a waffle iron and so on.

See the argument here is "Sure, there are some civilian deaths -- 60% -- but that pales in comparison to letting Hamas win. It's like in the hit show House where they let Dr. Hausian House eat a patient or two because it sustains him in order to practice medicine.

You get it. We can do a title for it.

WE MUST DEFEAT HAMAS NO MATTER WHAT

Let's start really simple:

What does it mean to "Defeat" or "Destroy" an enemy?

I'd reckon it means to create a situation where the enemy doesn't exist anymore, right? Like going back to Star Wars, the object is to root out the evil at the core, which they did when the Emperor was killed in Return of the Jedi and they stopped making any sequels after that. Glad that's where the series ended. Nobody somehow returned.

And so while this is very basic, it stands to reason the same goal with Hamas. In order to defeat them, we must have NO MORE OF HAMAS.

So is what Israel doing actually accomplishing that goal?

Well, to start: around 70 per cent of Gaza's residences and half of its buildings have been damaged or destroyed, while 80 per cent of Hamas's tunnel network is still intact. So no. Or maybe it is working.

If the point is to destroy Gaza to the point that people can no longer live there. Given that entire neighborhoods have been flattened, including cemetaries this seems more likely to be the case.

They're also doing it extremely gleefully? Like IDF soldiers are posting videos of them celebrating the destruction of Gaza.

:D [thumbs up to dance music and bulldozing]

That video was captioned:

"I stopped counting how many neighborhoods I've erased." So cool.

And just like other warcrime-y things, this is not new for the IDF.

An HRC independent commission noted in July 2014 that "The extensive devastation carried out by the IDF in Khuzaʽa, in particular the razing of entire areas of the town by artillery fire, airstrikes and bulldozers indicate that the IDF carried out destructions that were not required by military necessity." This destruction also doesn't keep their own soldiers safe and has in fact killed soldiers so it's not a defensive strategy.

But is this blowing up of all these buildings defeating Hamas?

For instance, was demolish the Palace of Justice, Gaza's supreme court, necessary to defeat Hamas?

How about targeting the Palestinian Legislative Council Complex? Or Gaza's City Central Archive Building? Or destroying Gaza's main public library? Hundreds of educational facilities. Targeting every. single. one. of the four universities in Gaza. The Al Zafar Dmari Mosque and Center for Manuscripts and Ancient Documents. The Orthodox Cultural Center. The Al Qarara Cultural Museum The Gaza Center for Culture and Art. The Museum of Palestinian Heritage. The Ancient Port of Gaza Anthedon Harbour. A two thousand Year old Roman cemetery. The Rashad al-Shawa Cultural Center. Three Hundred Eighteen Muslim and Christian Religious Sites, including the Great Omari Mosque, once a 5th century Byzantine Church. Also: The Church of St. Porphyrious from 424 AD.

... necessary to Defeat Hamas?

Was there a defensive purpose to destroying Gaza's central archives?

Is there a defensive purpose to putting up religious iconography over demolished areas? Or coupling religious iconography with the graffiti OURS NOW over a building? What about when the IDF was given coordinates of Gazan churches by US Congressional Staffers? Was warned not to hit those churches, and then did in fact hit some of churches? Or when the IDF was given notice to avoid aid organizations and still bombed them? Was Hamas hiding inside 84 year old Elham Farah from one of Gaza's oldest Christian families who was killed by an Israeli sniper outside Holy Family Church in Gaza City?

Is it necessary to defeat Hamas by leaving only one bakery left standing in all of Gaza?

In the 2008-9 War in Gaza, a UN Investigation found that the disproportionate destruction of infrastructure was intentional and was designed to have inevitably dire consequences for the non-combatants in Gaza by having an overly broad framing of civilian infrastructure being used by militants. Like, if a militant buys bread at a bakery does that mean the bakery is a military target?

This same UN-investigation concluded that in the 2008-9 conflict, it is clear from evidence gathered by the mission that the destruction of food supply installations, water sanitation systems, concrete factories and residential houses was the result of a deliberate and systematic policy by the Israeli armed forces. It was not carried out because those objects presented a military threat or opportunity, but to make the daily process of living -- and dignified living -- more difficult for the civilian population.

Which sounds an awful lot like the current destruction in Gaza.

This previous investigation even noted the vandalism that occurred.

The systematic destruction appears also to have been an assault on the dignity of the people, and the vandalizing of houses when occupied. And the way in which people were treated when their houses were entered. I suppose if there's another UN fact-finding mission into the current war, their jobs will be made somewhat easier by the fact that IDF soldiers are publishing their vandalism on Tik-Tok and other social media sites, such as the soldier who spray-painted a building with the text:

INSTEAD OF ERASING GRAFFITI, LET US ERASE GAZA

BUT DO YOU CONDEMN HAMAS

Totes, bro! I condemn Hamas!

And if, for example, I was looking to defeat Hamas, I would do everything I could to focus my efforts... ON HAMAS.

And not the various citizens AROUND Hamas.

Not just out of like basic human compassion, but because by destroying all of Gaza's culture -- gleefully so -- and shoving it in their faces, that sure seems like an easy way to MAKE MORE HAMAS.

Director of University of Chicago Project on Security and Threats, Professor Robert Paid puts it this way:

Mass civilian punishment has not convinced Gaza's residents to stop supporting Hamas. To the contrary, it has only heightened resentment among Palestinians.

General Stanley McCrystal, a retired Army General who once lead special operations in Iraq came up with an idea called Insurgent Math: that for every innocent person you kill you create ten new enemies.

And this is just kinda common sense, right?

If you invade and destroy the culture of a group of people, they will very likely be inspired to join whatever force there is to resist that destruction.

And I really can't stress this enough. 80 per cent of Hamas's tunnel network is still intact as of Dec 2023, Israeli officials claim that around 5000 members of Hamas have been killed and that they were killing 2 civilians per 1 Hamas member. Which an IDF spokesperson described as being "Tremendously positive!" In all likelihood, the number of civilian deaths per Hamas member killed is higher but even if this 2 to 1 ratio is correct, it's weird to frame this as "Tremendously positive!"

For every Hamas fighter killed, you killed two civilians.

Impacting their entire family.

Possibly orphaning their children.

I know we like to pretend that ONLY EVIL PEOPLE JOIN VIOLENT GROUPS LIKE HAMAS ... but if your entire family gets killed in front of you ... and you have nothing left but trauma and anger, why wouldn't you join a militant group that offers revenge against those that killed your family? Understanding why people join militant groups isn't the same as condoning the actions of those groups. It's interesting that endless think pieces are devoted to, say... understanding a Trump voter or someone who participated in January 6th, but it's taboo to try and understand why someone would want to join Hamas.

And so, if these bombings aren't actually doing anything to defeat Hamas, the only conclusion here is that the actual goal is to punish Palestine as a whole. You know... a punishment... that is... collective.

It's not true this rhetoric about civilians not being aware, not aware, not involved, it's absolutely not true. They could have risen up, they could have fought against that evil regime which took over Gaza in a coup d'état.

That was Israeli president Isaac Herzog saying the people of Palestine are complicit because they didn't rise up against Hamas.

So this is the next argument: The idea that Palestinians in Gaza support Hamas, or celebrated October 7th and therefore they deserve the collective punishment for what Hamas has done.

DMarie - ugh I really hate my last name. How can I get rid of it, every time I hear it it reminds me of my father, DNA id like to cast away

[smuttywriterx]

dMary gasped as she was bodily lifted from the floor, drawn effortlessly up between his pecs. Her mouth fell open, and her tongue chased the flexing muscle. "Oh, God..." Still held up in his arms, her legs naturally wound around his tapered waist so that she was essentially climbing him like a tree. "I... I can't think of anything I wouldn't want to do with you, Bryan. Please...use me."

“Like this?” Bryan smirked, bouncing his chest muscles for her as he picked up Mary by her hips. “You do realize I’m going to do whatever I want with you now right? The minute you locked that door you consented to being my plaything.” The big man noted. He’d play along and do what she asked for now, but before long he’d start making his demands and he was pretty sure she’d follow them to the letter.

Lab coat and Smiling God for the WTNV asks!

Lab Coat: An outfit you are most likely to be seen in

Black leather jacket, black-and-grey plaid flannel shirt worn open over the top of a grey long-sleeved shirt, with black skinny jeans, and second-hand black prisoner officer boots with rainbow laces.

Smiling God: Fictional characters you would die - or kill - for

Regis from The Witcher 3′s Blood and Wine DLC.

He’s a hugely compassionate vampire barber-surgeon who would go to the absolute end of the earth for his friends.

But, he’s also so much more complicated, because he goes to such lengths to help others as he feels the need to atone for what he did in his youth whilst still battling the demons that drove him to it, as he’s a former blood addict that was driven to murderous rampages by his thirst. Thus, he now lives amongst humans as a professional healer.

And in the books the games are based on - which mainly take place before the games - (SPOILERS) he’s burned alive by a sorcerer whilst preventing him from killing another of his travelling party, and then regrets that he couldn’t have done more for them. And you discover this after it’s revealed he literally “lived” as a pile of ashes melted to a column for decades, because only a higher vampire can kill another higher vampire.

Also he’s an absolute dork in the game

...and it’s a running joke that he’s Mr Exposition, as he literally does not shut up once someone gets him started on a topic of interest to him. The fact that he has the longest name known to man (Emiel Regis Rohellec Terzieff-Godefroy) is just the cherry on top of him never apparently shutting up.

Look, Regis is the absolute fave, and this is also why I can talk about The Witcher all day, because it would mostly be about this damn vampire who I haven’t even met in the books yet.

OH MY GOD!!!! I SCREAMED when I saw the notification!!! This is so gorgeous, thank you, thank you!!! <3 <3 <3

It looks so good!!! <3

Hello, there! I love your art! If you're still doing the palette thing and it's not too much to ask, can you do either Tim with the Dark palette or Jon with the Web one, please? Your designs are awesome!! <3 (Sorry if this got sent more than once!)

[ID: Three digital illustrations done in limited color palettes. The first is of Tim Stoker from The Magnus Archives from the shoulders up, done in a muted purple monochrome. He is a man with a side-shave, ear gauges, sunglasses, and circular scars all over his exposed skin. He is looking at the viewer while tipping his sunglasses down with his finger. He’s wearing a collared shirt and blazer. The background is a simple gradient of the colors in the palette. The color palette itself is in the lower righthand corner, made up of each color in bubble-like symbols, labelled underneath as “the dark.” 

The second image is of Jonathan Sims from The Magnus Archives from the shoulders up, done in a palette of muted purples, teal, gray, and blueish off-white. He is a man with long, curly white hair with dark stripes with a full beard to match. His hair has spiderwebs coming off of it from either side, resembling flyaway strands. He has heavy dark circles under his eyes, his skin is colored in the teal with circular and slash-shaped scars across it, and he’s wearing a dark turtleneck. He is looking up and to the right, away from the viewer. The background is a purple spiderweb on a solid, darker purple. The color palette itself is in the upper lefthand corner, made up of each color in spiderweb symbols, labelled underneath as “the web.”

The third image is identical to the second, except that the turtle is now a choker and wide-collared shirt, exposing the collarbones and more scars. end ID]
