God the fucking timeline is sending me
(& Leme preface this with the important context that I didn’t research this & am drawing baseless theory on an off handed comment on another post)
So there’s the debate abt Jewish people being “indigenous” to Israel because their roots date back further than the Palestinians. This is a bad argument & there are better educated people making this point more eloquently than me.
But looking at this history, and the stories we tell ourselves in our own religious ceremony, a lot of times it talks about how our people were chased off their land by the Roman’s, or during the crusades, or were enslaved by Egypt (who at the time was allied with rome? I know cleopatra & that one emperor were fucking)
& where does the spirit of colonialism & the seat of christian power go after the fall of rome? That’s right, England. & who set up the settler state of Israel? Who else, but England.
I just think it’s funny how European colonial powers chased us off our land, enslaved us & subjected us to genocide, & are now using us as pawns to chase others off the same land they chased us off centuries ago, and instead of our community coming together to denounce this increasingly hypocritical and disgusting mission, so many (older, but not old old) Jews in my life have essentially said “well we suffered so now we are entitled to make others suffer”
#this post is a fucking mess#please intilectually assassinate me in my inbox#anon is on & id love constructive critique & historical foundation for these feelings#my sources include my experience growing up Jewish#emphasis on the ish#they also include vauge ahistorical knowledge of white history#also if it wasn’t clear from my critique I’m antizionist and anticolonial

Hello everyone, I really don't like asking for it, but it's undeniable that me and my housemates could use some help. We live in a very conservative area, and all of us are visibly queer. We're trying to raise funds to move somewhere safer, but the only way I can earn income safely is through art, as I've been threatened or put in harm's way due to my apparent trans-ness at every place I've worked at. My roommates face similar tribulations, living in the public eye here is simply unsustainable. There's more info on the going-ons of our situation in the gofundme, but if you can't afford to donate, sharing this post, my commission post, or the gofundme on my other social medias does so much in the way of getting us out of here.
if you'd rather donate directly, my paypal and kofi.
We are extremely appreciative of any help we can get, shares makes a huge difference.
AND, for your time, an image of our cat, Mr Mayor, who you would also be benefiting.
Thank you.
#ah. a huge part of why i've backed out of online social spaces n haven't been posting as much all around is what's goin on here.#i've been doing better now that there's a prospective move on the horizon#but i hope to be making art for yall at a regular ish pace again soon#ironically i finished this gofundme yesterday. which. was the day i got called a tr*nny while minding my business in a taco bell. if that u#puts any more emphasis on how conservative of an area we're in#from the bottom of my heart#thank you for reading.#trans#transgender#gofundme#crowdfund#please help#signal boost#lgbtq#queer#i'm not sure what else to tag#help ?#aah

forever hilarious to me that tennis is promoted as this prestigious highbrow big-brain sport when most tennis fans these days are like. yeah this is my favorite player. yeah i don't know why they're like that. yes they are stupid. no i will not choose somebody else.
#wta tennis#atp tennis#i feel like the era of...shall we say 'federer-esque' players is waning#which i think can in part be related to the loss of the one-handed-backhand#as the sport moves more toward a necessity for fitness and athleticism players do not put as much emphasis on 'art'#which imo is fine! i think the 'art' of tennis is too protected in some ways. which i maybe will expand on later.#but i think it's too much for the tags of a (mostly) silly post#but yeah you can hear a lot of commentators touch on it#i know nadal even said something abt it recently(ish)#but i think as tennis is gradually less associated with this abstract 'image' (e.g. the obsession with federer's 'grace' and 'class')#players are coming in thinking 'this is a physical battle and i am going to win' and very much leaning into the *competition*#which not to say that they're ignoring/denying the mental aspects at all because i actually do think many players are very strategic/aware#and in truth i think many tennis players ARE actually very smart#but i also think it's less apparent because more and more players are able to just hit the shit out of the ball and call it a day#which leaves you with the occasional shot/point/game/set/match etc where it seems like they don't know what the fuck they're doing#but you think about most sports which evolve in phases#it's very normal for certain player profiles to become more or less popular as the landscape of the sport changes#or as new techniques/strategies are developed#or as new communities/populations become interested!#extreme example but think of like. high jump's fosbury flop. that was one guy!#one guy who changed the entire fucking sport! so it makes perfect sense that tennis is continuing to evolve#given how many unique players have come and gone#and how much the sport is changing externally as well as internally#anyways. this got out of hand but i love sports and i love tennis and i love my brainless players.#this whole post was inspired by rewatching sabalenka v boulter and aryna completely missed an overhead by like five feet. lol#love her <3

shoutout to that one mtdd confession comic i drew last year that i never posted because uhh
it was unscripted so the ideas were pretty disjointed and it showed a lot. anyway:
#i rewrote it but im honestly still trying to figure out what’s missing#this isn’t the whole thing but the other panels kind of add nothing to the idea anyway so uhh#i redrew so much and just couldn’t be satisfied and then. well. 10 months went by#maybe i’ll return to the second one…eventually…#kirbyposting#my art or something#meta knight#king dedede#metadede#quinn does comics#yeah im just clearing out old wips what of it?#yknow the two cakes thing#this might be more of a cupcake lol#or i guess it’s literally half baked#but that’s okay#the point a to point b was really awkward so i am literally skipping the middle#i try to keep some level of consistency in how i write these characters (emphasis on try)#so this isn’t canon to my little made up universe#a scene like this is important of course!! which is why i want to do it justice…ish. and so i don’t hate this but it’s not a good fit#if that makes sense

the funny thing about being aro is that I am genuinely afraid of being alone for the rest of my life, but if anyone even STARTS to imply that it's because I'm never gonna have a joyful and fulfilled life without a romantic partner it makes me so mad I see red
#its. a fear born from a society entirely structured around amanormativity.#im not afraid ill never Find Someone im afraid that all the people ive already found will leave#because this (western) society puts so much emphasis on romantic relationships that any friendships or familial bonds#are instantly made lesser.#so many of my friends and siblings have pushed their relationships with friends (and me) to the side because they have this...#..idk. Bigger And More Important relationship to maintain.#and its all well and good when Everyone has that Bigger Relationship but when someone doesnt want one???#theyre kind of left in the dust. by everyone. and it sucks#im not saying all the people ive ever known have done this and its unfair to say that everyone Will do this#but idk. there's fear there that i dont know if ill ever be able to shake.#BUT AT THE SAME TIME if anyone tries to say being aro makes my life depressing and sad and empty i am KILLING THEM WITH HAMMERS#aro joy is perhaps my favorite thing on earth. everyone go look at my pinned post right now#anyway idk. kind of a ramble i just got started thinking about all this#winter speaks#<- ish#aro tag#i should start tagging this LMAO

If you don’t mind me asking, I’m curious to hear why you aren’t crazy about Fizzozzie? Like it’s kinda generic, but compared to the dumpster fire that is Stolitz … (I guess anything is better than Stolitz though 😅)
Before I get into it, I wanna be clear, it is just a personal preference thing! This isn't objective or even criticism, it's just my opinion.
I'm really struggling putting this into words because I don't actively dislike the ship. I don't like it but I don't dislike it. I think the majority of my distaste with it comes from the fact that the focus episodes for it, s2e6-7, are such a departure from our main cast. I also don't like Ozzie's design very much :[
I personally don't like the way Ozzie shows concern for Fizz. Its a very personal thing and I don't think the show would be better implementing changes (as whats a story without some conflict) but a lot of the time it felt like they were talking past each other? I don't know if it was intended, but in the getting ready scene in s2e7 it came across as Ozzie always having Fizz's foundation and keeping it away from him while trying to convince him not to go to the competition, (He could have picked it up off the vanity and I didn't notice though.) Despite Ozzie having good intentions, he does stuff without Fizz's approval and sometimes contrary to what Fizz communicates he wants. This would probably bother me less if the two of them were at an equal status, but with Ozzie as a royal, it feels worse to me. I also don't think it is ever resolved in a satisfying way.
Once again, I know that is a pretty small personal nitpick!!! I don't think it is something the show should change. It just affects my own enjoyment of them <:] Ngl If I read fanfic and fan interpretations I would probably fall in love with their relationship, as the issues I do have would be fun to resolve, but just at base canon I can't really call myself a fan. (During checking the episodes again, I did like Ozzie's assistant sort of role in Two Minutes Notice!)
You are 100% right though anon, I'd take Fizzozzie over Stolitz every single time. Honestly, looking at the canon ships Fizzozzie is probably my favorite, but that's just because I don't like the others. (Stolitz has problems I've already ranted abt. Millie and Moxie's relationship is frustrating for me because most of Millie's personality/development/character interaction revolves around it.)
Sorry for writing a novel as a response, thanks for the question! Honestly examining my issues with them makes me want to write something for the two of them ack!
#Dys rants#helluva boss critical#<- ish? I don't want this in the main tag but it isn't really criticism#also sorry for the extreme emphasis on personal. I do a lot of advice/crit here and I want to be super clear that this is neither#totally get why people like fizzozzie go wild#reblog

The Oath of Fëanáro
Be he foe or friend, be he foul or clean, brood of Morgoth or bright Vala, Elda or Maia or Aftercomer, Man yet unborn upon Middle-earth, neither law, nor love, nor league of swords, dread nor danger, not Doom itself, shall defend him from Fëanor, and Fëanor's kin, whoso hideth or hoardeth, or in hand taketh, finding keepeth or afar casteth a Silmaril. This swear we all…Death we will deal him ere Day’s ending, Woe unto world’s end! Our word hear thou, Eru Allfather! To the everlasting Darkness doom us if our deed faileth…On the holy mountain hear in witness and our vow remember, Manwë and Varda!
#the oath of feanor#tolkien#silm#feanorions#emphasis mine#i am intrigued by the use of “day” here bc the oath predates the sun#the sun is anachronistic#so that's likely “translation” at work#to anyone who actually tries reading this aloud: it's probs not binding to humans bc we fans are but mortals of no relation to fëanáro#that & the oath here is only a “translation” (the premise of the legendarium is memoirs turned story turned historical text turned myth)#so the ENG is several languages removed from the “original” wording#i.e. noldorin qenya#i am counting “westron” as several languages bc it would evolve over the [time] between “translations” while elven languages remained stati#qenya to westron to [time] to ENG (bilbo had access to the original qenya bc his historical source was elrond)#similarly to the use of “day” is the anachronistic use of “feanor” rather than “fëanáro”#i doubt that feanor ever spoke sindarin prior to his death by Every Balrog At Once#the sun didn't rise until some 30-ish years after feanor's death#the qenya ban took effect 50-ish years after the first sunrise#don't be a tolkien nerd: there's too much math & nouns can be out of character
