God there’s something so refreshing about seeing Steve meet Natasha after seeing the ways everyone else has been treating him

Like everyone at shield has clearly been ignoring him or just allowing him to completely isolate himself (not sure which is worse considering this guy literally just lost everyone and everything he’s ever known, loved, or fought for) bc Fury doesn’t seem to be fully taking him seriously, Coulson (and I’m sure others he’s met up to this point) is such a big fanboy he can barely keep his composure around him

And then there’s Natasha who meets him and immediately starts teasing him (by poking fun at Coulson’s excitement nonetheless) and that’s when we get our first (of very few) genuine Steve smiles in this movie

After being treated like a comic book character come to life (either not taken seriously or fawned over), she’s probably the first person since he came out of the ice to treat him like a person and that is SO important

I've been doing a lot of reflection as of late, especially after this past class.

This past class was about the Torah and Tanakh in general, and the way the rabbi talked about the commandments (specifically the ten commandments) has made me really reflect on how I interpret them, specifically the fifth commandment, or honoring your mother and father.

This is a commandment I have wrestled with for a long time - in fact, it brought me away from g-d at multiple times. I was severely abused when I was incredibly young by my mother, and I used to feel insulted at the implication that I were to honor her while she got to live a better life. It was hypocritical, in my eyes.

But this rabbi surmised that this particular commandment was because parenthood is an act of creation, something that is like the g-d from which we come from. My realization is this: I don't think we're necessarily meant to take even these commandments literally.

I this particular commandment is more of a call to honor creation - creation is a gift, and like any gift, many people simply will not like it and will discard it. The person who abused me created me, but she did not honor creation. She didn't honor me, but I can still honor it.

I have started to honor creation much more. I'm too young, too unstable, not mature enough to be a father (though I fantasize about it), but I create all the time. I create relationships, I create with my hands through crochet. I create memories, I create my world. And I can honor who I am and where I came from that made me who I am. I've been learning one of the mother tongues of my family (Italian, since part of my family originates there) and it was judaism that inspired me to do this.

I don't think g-d wants me to honor my abuser. I think He wants me to remember the Holy action of creation. When I am a father, that act of creation will be Holy, and indeed, I am already joyful about the thought.

I have seen many people struggle with this particular commandment, but I think this perspective helps me personally. I don't think I ever have to forgive my abusers (plural), and I don't think I am commanded to simply because they happened to be family. I am commanded to recognize the holy, to elevate the mundane. In doing so, I will remember g-d. Through creation, I honor g-d and everything he has done for us, for me, and for our collective people.

"My heart's okay." | Paul Strickland

(ID in alt; description also available below the cut.)

[Image ID: Digital fanart of Paul Strickland from 9-1-1: Lone Star, signed in the bottom left with a 'Dot [flower symbol] s' signature. Paul is wearing his firefighter turnouts; in this rendering, the tri-striped glow strips on the turnouts are in the trans flag colours. The heavy jacket of the uniform is unbuttoned, and Paul is holding one of the flaps in his hand, revealing his navy blue t-shirt and uniform suspenders beneath, as well as a golden heart (drawn in the anatomical style) which glows in the centre of his chest. Its glow radiates out, illuminating Paul's face and torso. /end ID.]

A pokemon masters screenshot redraw that got Way Out Of Hand. (and I insist on posting this as a redraw, I feel the original context is Important)

Also, I finally remembered to record my process of drawing this (and then some :^D)

Your honour, what the “witness” fails to mention about the “attack” is that I only beat up the writer after they wrote a beautiful story of a queer character falling in love with their best friend over the better part of a decade, hint subtextually at it being requited, had the interviews and promotions of the media play into it and profit from queer viewers feelings… only to end it tragically and/or follow it up by writing the queer character a one dimensional love interest within the last few episodes, put nothing into the relationship, and have them be the endgame instead. Did I mention they yanked the fans around for YEARS?? Literally years. Almost a decade. Yeah. So. I plead self defence.

YOU 🫵 what do you think Severitus is doing on New Year's Eve?

At first I thought this was asking about what Severus alone does on New Years Eve, and I was abt to get very angsty w/ it, but I have reread it and will save you the pain today.

SO Severitus, what do they do on New Years Eve? Hard to say honestly. I can’t imagine them being party people really, or at least I can’t see Severus going to a party.

Most years I would imagine they stay in together, maybe doing a fancier dinner than usual with a dessert. Nothing much really, they stay up until midnight with the countdown in front of them, Harry whooping with joy when it hits midnight.

They both reminisce on the fact that Uncle Vernon and Tobias always did scratchers on New Years Eve, but they don’t do it themselves. Too afraid of becoming like them.

Alcohol is kept far away.

I think it would be fun if Harry was an older teen and Snape allowed him to blow up fireworks the day of though? I can imagine it being a semi tradition for Severus and Lily when they were younger and him passing it down to Harry . Of course he makes sure there’s no possible harm that could come from it. Severus helps him and they both watch in glee the shapes and colors from a roof top.

If they were to go to a party it would have to be with the Weasleys. There would be a large feast where the children would be playing quidditch all night long (Severus clutching his wand the entire time watching Harry pull crazy stunts). They would all sit down around a radio and wait for the countdown, screaming delight when it turns midnight.

The twins activate so many fireworks. Thankfully no one gets hurt, but a lot of people and animals get spooked. Harry’s happy the fireworks distracted from the fact that he dove to hide underneath Severus’ cloak to avoid the sounds. Severus is proud (?) that Harry went to him for safety, grateful no one noticed him protectively raise his wand automatically.

Neither of them do particularly well with unexpected loud sounds.

Beyond that though the event is happy. A celebration of making it another year.

I'm so happy Mob Psycho 100 has a canon happy ending for everybody. No I don't want evil evil and suffering forever all the time, I want everyone to laugh over cake and for Mob to have 1 billion best friends. And no that's not too much to ask because that's what happened. I relate to Mob a lot and I know other people do too so if things can be great for him then it can happen for us. And you know what it did happen to me my life got better too! So yes I do want super happy ending. Me and Mob together we will both get that good life! If you have eternal torture and sad au I'm sure it's lovely and very well written but that is not my cup of tea.
