The Secret Garden 🌹

Mary finds the door to the secret garden with the help of the little robin!

Based on the book by Frances Hodgson Burnett

[filurig]

some of my kin liken humans to beasts to illustrate their ruthless ambition.

i do not.

the wolf hungers, and hunts to sate that hunger.

the bear must rest, and hunts to sleep once winter comes.

the human does not merely 'hunt'.

they torch forests and poison rivers. they build giant constructions which spew gas as black as night into the very air we breathe. they hunt and hunt and hunt until nothing is left.

describing them as anything other than 'human', is to undersell the reality of their callous disregard for any semblence of mercy.

FELLOW HONEST SHAKES

[leroibobo]

the depopulation of the palestinian village of kawkab al-hawa (“the star of the jordan river”) is far from the only case in which a palestinian village was violently, entirely depopulated during the 1948 nakba. it's also not the only case in which neighboring kibbutz residents advocated for and even themselves participated in the destruction of houses, nor is it the only case in which elements of the village were only kept so they could serve a neighboring tourist attraction. however, it is a conspicuous case of all of the above, combined.

kawkab al-hawa happens to sit by belvoir castle, one of the best-preserved crusader castles in palestine. the village itself had been testified to in some shape or form from antiquity - the crusaders had referred to the village with the frankish name "belvoir", hence the name of the castle. after saladin retook it, the village as we know it today expanded into and around the castle's confines. by 1945, the castle had been in ruins for centuries, while the rural village housed 300, mostly farmers.

in the words of meron benvenisti: "In the Israeli context, it is preferable to immortalize those who exterminated the Jewish communities of Europe (in the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries) and murdered the Jews of Jerusalem in 1099 than to preserve relics of the local Arab civilization with which today's Israelis coexist...Arab buildings spoil the myth of an occupied land under foreign rule, awaiting liberation at the hands of the Jews returning to their homeland."

I have a request for batfam/Jason Todd fanfic writers:

I love the "Jason Todd is a bookworm/theatre nerd" fics as much as the next person, don't get me wrong, but can we please diversify his interests?

90% of the time when I open a fic with that tag, we see Jason reading Jane Eyre or Pride and Prejudice or quoting Shakespeare. And not to say that there's anything wrong with any of those being his favourite but even if he loves to read "classical" books, come on!

You're telling me Jason raised-in-crime-alley-spent-his-formative-years-between-an-eccentric-billionaire-and-an-assassin-cult Todd only reads books by dead white people?!

I refuse! Give me a man who takes to books more than ever after his return to Gotham. Jason, who reads books like I am Woman, A Really Good Brown Girl and White Tears/Brown Scars, then recommends them to the working girls as he establishes his territory. Who reads in multiple languages, and who loves Arabic poetry.

Give me a little "Robin is Magic!" Jason scouring Bruce's library and picking up a copy of The Mahabharata after he's done The Iliad, and spends weeks obsessed with Journey to the West.

Give me a Jason who's read Things Fall Apart, and One Hundred Years of Solitude! The number of quotes and references he could pull that would further support his dramatic tendencies? It would make him so happy!

I want you to know that your art is very important to me, and I'm very invested in all of the characters I have seen from you. Also, the discussion about Finnish and other languages having gendered words or not has been the last little push to get me to start learning Finnish which I think is fun.

I'm making this a little compilation post of all the language asks I got. Thank you for sharing, this was genuinely really interesting!

geralt of rivia thoughts summarized

this city is too congested and loud

i don’t like the way my clothes feel

it’s super hot out right now but i’m gonna keep my outerwear on

i’m just gonna sit in the corner and do my thang

what’s wrong with me why do i feel emotions so strongly

people keep telling me i was made wrong

there are so many smells out here right now

i don’t like the way these clothes feel either

i don���t know how to break up with my girlfriend so i’m just going to leave i guess

wrong decision i’m going to apologize now. … by giving her some cool rocks

i kind of messed things up with my girlfriend again but i want to talk to her BUT i don’t know how to address her. we made passionate love many times. can i call her my… hmm… ummm… friend…?

i could piss in this flowerpot but… that wouldn’t be nice to the flowers

it’s time for a scathingly eloquent rant

never mind i forgot how to say words

i’m just going to tell you what happened straight up. no poetics from me

but let’s critique society

I HATE INJUSTICE AND UNFAIRNESS !!!

why are people so corrupt and evil. i don’t get it.

more importantly. WHY do i keep falling for it.

i am a relic of an older time. change is already here and i’m not ready

apart from my immediate family i’ve had one best friend for a decade and that’s my extent of socializing.

unless someone comes to me first with that. and we have shared interests. then we can roll together for a bit

i have not changed my sense of style or the type of clothes i wear since i was eighteen. i even tie my hair in the same way

[kyonshi-8610]

plus extra marcille that i think. looks good but just didnt turn out the way i wanted to + sketches

the sonic series borrows and uses SO much from black culture. heres your periodic reminder about that and to be respectful about it. also if knuckles is the only one in your humanized sonic lineup that's black then do some serious introspection dude.

Doodled the seasonal outfits for my FoM farmer🪴his name is Purzel!

Odd little guy who will stare at you silently and always has a ton of money without realizing he's hoarded that much lol What's his deal? Nobody knows, but he's got a heart of gold and loves to help out 🫶

you people really think poc are interchangeable. "nooo they are whitewashing heathcliff!! let's give love to the 2011 adaptation instead, where heathcliff is played by a black man". romani people and anti-romani racism have a very specific history in the uk (which is reflected, for better and for worse, in wuthering heights). it's still romani erasure even when the character is played by a black gadjo. just like casting ciara renée (mixed black, native and indian) in hunchback of notre-dame was romani erasure. just like casting norm lewis to play javert was racist against romani people. it's just as much a form of romani erasure and anti-romani racism as casting white people for the role

I finished playing through the game Mouthwashing the other day and I couldn't help but turn Anya into a dragon in a medieval setting. She deserves so much better than what she got...

This dragon stands at a staggering twenty feet tall at the shoulder and is about a hundred feet long including the bullwhip-like tail. However, despite its imposing stature and length, this dragon seems to be a rather gentle giant. Most of its scales are a dull slate blue color except for the scales on its head and neck, which are patterned in numerous multicolored stripes that almost seem to shine in the light. Its wings are bat-like, and its wing membranes are patterned with dark red horseshoe-like shapes and golden yellow patterns that are present closer to the edge of the wings. If you squint, you swear the patterns almost say something, but you can never quite figure out what they say… Its horns, which are similar to those of a Manx Loaghtan sheep in appearance, are a deep black color and almost look like they're made of obsidian.

While this dragon has a habit of raiding villages like most other dragons do, it doesn't do it for gold to hoard or food. Instead, it takes great care to not harm anyone and it exclusively targets soft materials like wool, various fabrics, cotton, yarn and even silk. What it does with the materials are unknown, but some theorize that the dragon is constructing a nest with them. This dragon rarely uses its breath weapon as it prefers to flee or attempt to bargain rather than fight (much to the irritation of many a wannabe dragon slayer), but when it does use its breath weapon, it spews a viscous, foul-smelling acidic tar that almost resembles a mixture of blood and vomit. Any poor soul hit by this foul mixture will suffer a brief but agonizing death. Wherever the tar lands, it carves a shallow basin in the land, scorching the earth and killing almost all vegetation in the immediate vicinity. Naught but the hardiest and most unpalatable of vegetation will grow in the immediate vicinity of the acrid mire left behind.
