It took me two watches but of course Nana and the Giraffe work together so well as a backstage team, the movie spells out how much they are literally and metaphorically the food everyone else takes from as their own fuel
#the giraffe literally being eaten from by them rep the audience & Nana telling Karen everyone ate what i offered of my labor EXCEPT you#they both find their use in being consumed by others be it literally or with their time/personhood/the literal food they provide#Nana is also the catalyst for the movie we the greedy audience want the way the giraffe is in the show#only now it wasnt about vain exploitation it was about growing up#revue starlight#reminds me of Maya telling Nana she better not hear Nana is letting herself be used with no drive of her own or she'd hate her#This also fits into the story's messages on codependency by having Nana & Giraffe exist solely for being taken from for others#When they themselves do the taking it's all consuming time itself repeats into a stagnation where they can keep giving but never eating#Doing nothing but giving or doing nothing but taking will only kill you you're the same as dead

#dash games.#a demon whose name is lust and gluttony (expected) hdjsk though i see him far more as gluttony#this list just doesn't really characterize gluttony the way it should be - it's not all about food 🤷#in fact most other sins can be a branch-off from that one. i expected to be bolding everything dhjd#in terms of seeing him through the lens of sin he's a study in excessiveness of indulgence - a simple want hyperbolising into a need#out of his sheer unsatisfaction with measure and restraint#And yeah sloth's Not It - it's just a nothingness - a stagnation - in his eyes#same with greed - not materialistic and blows money like leaves (even in verses where he grows up poor he's not dumb enough to assume money#would solve all his problems. his poverty/hunger's always been about everything else he was deprived of) 🤷#THIS WAS FUN THO!#neat lil look into his fuckery#truly a man who's down to clown anytime for any reason

are you being challenged? are you trying new things and getting new experiences? are you different from who you were 5 years ago? are you compromising? are you seeing things from another perspective regularly? are you getting better?
are you stagnating? are you prioritising comfort? are surrounding yourself with people and places that let you stay in place? have you compromised recently? are you aware that yours is not the only way?
#personalig#that long ass post gas just really reminded me of the recurring problems with 90% of the usa americans i encounter#and of course we can all stagnate but MAN there is this person i keep meeting that says things like “i need to focus on myself”#but then DOESN'T and also knows nothing about the world and its WILD#“why do you know so much about Palestine?” the proxy war 70% funded by my US tax dollars? why do i know about that?#“why do you know so much about [other places]?” the other places on the planet that we all share??????????#like?? forreal???#and i don't even know that much but like wow?????#pls go read a book from another country#please watch a movie or tv show from another place#please google some history from somewhere else#please go eat food from other places#please for the love of g*d interact with people who are different from you and be normal about it

Yet another case where an alchemist mentions Stagnation as a Force opposed to transmutation.
Now the question is whether Stagnation/Transmutation are separate forces from the Fears or if they're all mushed together the way the Fears themselves weren't truly distinguishable. Or some other relation altogether.
I doubt this is the last we hear of it, even if it hasn't appeared as a fear-inducing force (yet).
#tmagp#tmagp spoilers#Stagnation#transmutation/change which fits with the large number of casements where transformation is a factor#going to put Desire/Want/Hunger as one catch-all for now because Hunger could be seen as Desire in its most distilled form#Fear seems like the opposite of desire but we've also seen Fear being a main force in the food casements and our very hungry carriage#hmm...#we'll definitely see more of Stagnation

My favorite flavor of LMK fics are the ones where Wukong has a glamour on cuz he’s like Ashamed of how he looks
And everyone else is like “Oh dear god when is the last time this man brushed his fur, use some conditioner, please it will spare you further damage to your fur.”
#lego monkie kid#lmk#monkie kid#lmk sun wukong#sun wukong#I think he probably looked like absolute hell during the journey#not even in a scary way#just like a mangy cat or something#because stress#and food scarcity#now he has the time and energy to take care of himself#and he does in someways#but he still sees himself as something ugly and broken#and he can’t stand the idea of ever exposing anyone else to that brokenness#and no matter how many years he puts between his past and his present#that’s all he can see himself as#which plays into his emotional stagnation. a problem he shares with Macaque#but that’s a post for another day

#but also it turned out#agatha and rio DID have a cottage together#something must have driven agatha from the cottage#to have her running#and not having a home with nicky#which could have helped his health more
yeah because i think because the tragedy is also that she loves death. nicky isnt doomed in some magical way, made of death so unable to live. or maybe also that, who knows, but i think nicky is doomed first and foremost bc agatha loves death.
i think she must have been on the run because she made it that way. bc she antagonised people into coming after her. bc she killed a coven or a dozen. bc she killed magically or mundanely. agatha isnt trying to build a healthy life, for her or him. agatha isnt trying to be Better in any way you want to define that. she wont let herself grow beyond the trauma that has defined her up to that point. and after nickys death she wont let herself grow beyond that trauma either. shes knowingly destructive and she isnt trying to change that.
if agatha is desolate and without community it's because she has made it that way. directly or indirectly, on purpose or bc she was forced, those things kinda blur together. at the end of the day she let it be that way. nicky lived and died because agatha loves death.
She is my scar.
#or thats one interpretation of what 'the truth is too awful' can mean#but you know ymmv. to me a lot of this is about self-destruction#i mean the addiction metaphor is like. there#but even more than that. she loves death. thats what the show makes explicit. concrete.#and it's not a healthy relationship theyre clear about that too#thats why nicky dies. thats why she blames herself. bc she chose stagnation. stuckness in trauma. over him#she made the life that nicky lived. in every way. which maybe every parent does for their kids in a way idk#but if she didnt have a midwife which might have helped him that was her choice#and if she didnt have a community that could offer him steady shelter and food and hygiene (which death cant) that was her choice too#and like maybe it's ALSO the magical stuff. maybe he also needed the power of those witches to live or wahtever#i wouldnt disregard the possibility and i dont think it takes away from the metaphor necessarily#but to me the metaphor is what holds the story together.#and if rio can only show up when theres a death. then the regular killing sprees only add layers to that interpretation i think#but i dont know if they regularly saw rio in those yeras#and why that means rio must be in the rich clothes i dont know i have nothing to say abt that part ghfkjghjkh

I'm afraid of people judging my new eating problems as a great "lifestyle change" because I'm "eating better" and "setting reasonable goals" and "learning and exercising coping skills for when my expectations aren't met" because uh. That is NOT what's going on here 😐
#these antibiotics are making my weight stagnate and i gained one pound its like i cant win#debating just letting the ear/sinus infection come back ngl.#i want to eat food so fucking bad. i want to eat food so fucking bad.#tw ed#eating disorder

Help a Gazan family get to safety!
#111 on the gaza vetters list!
Muhammad and Mona are a young family with two beautiful daughters, 6 year old Iman and 5 year old Toleen. i have been keeping in contact with Mona on whatsapp for a while and the things she tells me are beyond horror. there are rumors of the border crossing opening soon, so they need funds for that (30,000$ for all 4 members of the family), but even more urgently - funds to just survive.
Iman and Toleen, these vibrant, fun-loving little girls are forced to go through WINTER in a thin, nylon tent with a torn roof! the outrageous prices of any clothes at all leave the sisters sharing a single pair of torn slippers. and somehow, their parents still need to buy food.
this campaign is stagnating, and the goal is a very achievable one. even if all of my followers donated 10 dollars, they would be set!
currently they need around a 1500$ for a new tent, and around 1000$ for winter clothes for the girls.
and if you want, please message Mona and Muhammad on their blog, @monamohammed3they feel extremely alone and forgotten by the world. if you could provide them with the support, monetary as well as moral, they would appreciate that immensely.

Hey people on Tumblr, I have a question for you : do you contribute to your community ? Do you take the initiative to make things better for the people around you ?
I’ve brought up many times about Shahed Abumousa. She’s a 20 year old Palestinian who is studying dentistry and she is doing her best to survive a whole year of horror and violence. Since October last year, she has gone through the bombing of her house, the multiple displacements, the hunger and thirst, the shootings and diseases.
Despite it all, Shahed has dedicated her time, energy, and effort for everyone around her. She has volunteered as medical aid when hospitals were being destroyed one by one, distributed food with her family when she is starving, and taught children who couldn’t go to school in between her classes. Speaking of which, she continues with her education to achieve her degree while fundraising for her family of 7 people’s survival and supplies for her students. She is carrying a lot on her shoulders when she is only 20!
I am asking you once again:, what are you doing for your community? The truth is that most people are doing the bare minimum, if anything at all. So if you want to make a difference, please donate and share. Your contribution will not only help Shahed and her family survive, but it will also help give back to her community. So give what you can because she's stagnating at the halfway mark that she reached only recently after 7 months. She deserves all of our support.

Noureddine doesn't get donations for days after that his gfm closed and he relied on Paypal.
My other promotions
Note: I do not often make posts for campaigns I am not focusing on, and I won't be updating this often
Updated: Nov 27
Member(s): @noor509 (current), @noorabd1992 (deleted), @noorabd-1992
Verification: @/90-ghost on Wayback Machine (old campaign), knows vetted Palestinian @/mohiy-gaza2
Payment methods: Paypal for Noor (proof of legitimacy)
Summary: Noureddine's family relied on their gfm campaign to fulfill basic living needs, but all donations from Nov 4-15 (some on Nov 3) were not received and the campaign closed on Nov 15. If you believe you're eligible for a refund and didn't get one, please contact gfm. Noor now receives funds through a Paypal account (linked above).
Campaign details, updates:
Nov 26: Noor gets only 1-2 donations to his Paypal daily. I'm adopting this campaign starting Nov 28-29 for an unknown amount of time. It will be difficult to track progress as it's not observable on Paypal and Noor cannot be online to update me constantly, but I will try.
Nov 15: Noor's gfm campaign was closed on Nov 15. He and his campaign manager spoke of the situation here, which links to a Paypal that he now relies on.
The old fundraiser link no longer works. The last transfer was sometime on Nov 3, and to my knowledge all donations from Nov 4-15 (some from Nov 3) didn't make it to Noor and were automatically refunded. If you believe you were eligible for a refund and didn't get one, please contact gofundme.
Campaign details:
Noureddine's previous account was completely deleted along with all reblogs including vetting, resulting in the campaign stagnating.
He relies on donations as he has no income with which to care for his wife and 2 children, one of whom is a newborn.
The family moved from the hospital to their tent immediately after their second child was born in March.
They were relocated 7 times.
The tent is already inadequate shelter as there are harmful insects.
I've seen many Gazans worry about winter making tent living conditions unbearable.
Food, clean water, and medicine are scarce. The family live under constant and extreme psychological stress.

Hi. It seems so many campaigns have been stagnating. If you haven't donated this month and have the means to at all, even by selling art or things you don't need, please do. Things are desperate. One such family, that of my friend @samah-h , is in deseprate need of support for food and other basic survival items and costs. They are important to me, as family of my dear friend @bilal-salah0 as well. Please consider even donating 5 dollars to their campaign. It has severely stagnated.

Khaled Altaban (@khaled-eltaban) is a 24 year old from Gaza that has asked me to help share his fundraiser. (He has had a few different usernames since his blogs keep getting reported and deleted.)
It has been months and he still has not reached his very modest goal of £10,000. (£3,691 / £10,000 raised as of October 18th)
He has been spoken to and vetted by @/90-ghost [here], he has shared photos of himself that turn up clean on reverse image search, he has shared videos of himself [here] that can only be found attached to his Gofundme. Despite all of this his campaign has had very little traction, and he has been accused of being a scam, (which you can see my response to here) further stagnating his campaign.
I don't know if people understand why so many families and individuals desperately need this money - it's because, besides even the cost of passports and border crossing, the cost of living has become exorbitantly high. Multiple Palestinians on here can attest that with little aid coming in to Gaza, necessities like food and water are both rare AND expensive. Not to mention e-sims. So every dollar is meaningful.
You have seen me reblog this fundraiser before, but I am making this post since my inbox is currently closed and fresh posts help boost campaigns! Thank you if you consider helping.
#vetted fundraisers#I'll be trying to make more posts like these in the future - I want to be able to make them as well as possible#resources

Too Short
Life is too short to spend it in misery. To spend it drowning in a tide of pain. To look up and see no light ahead. To wish that you were just dead. We are the authors of our own tales. Take up the pen and write your life. Spend it with love. Spend it with joy. Spend it in peace, without all the noise. – Wandering Poet
