i never understood "you came here to help, solas, i won't let them use that against you" seeming to truly stir solas; it's stalwart morality, yes, ruthlessly benevolent, 5 stars he's humbled and appreciates #magerightsactivists etc. but he knows he's not as vulnerable as the herald assumes.

just remembered oh, right, veilguard confirmed he's a spirit in a body. denial of a spirit's purpose distorts it, which he condemns, his purpose could be used against him. right, yeah, per veilguard: he was a spirit; having arrived with a particular intent, he was vulne—

So i think we can all agree that "the six" are gonna walk the continent again for the first time since the great war with all the signets manifesting

But do you guys think that maybe "the" six signets don't have to be the same? Maybe the six most powerful signets of now are going to be different (with some of them being the same ofcourse) because for the six (seven) dragons, signets/riders, and Gods theories, i really think that maybe this time around, the signets that we aren't sure to be part of the six yet/haven't manifested yet could be different from the ones from the great war.

To be more precise "Judenhass" in the 1800s was considered to refer to hatred of Judaism (the religion) & Jewish culture. It was theoretically possible to escape it by converting to Christianity & assimilating into the dominant culture.

The word "Antisemitism" was invented so that people like Wilhelm Marr (who popularised the term in the late 1870s, I can't remember if he coined the term or adopted it from a fellow antisemite) had a term specifically to refer to hatred of Jews as an ethnic group, a race of people, rather than as a religion or culture.

People like Wilhelm Marr (who proudly wore the label as he popularised the term) wanted it clear that they hated Jewish people for their blood. It didn't matter if someone converted & assimilated. Marr & his fellow antisemites still wanted them dead. It didn't matter if someone only had one Jewish grandparent & had no exposure to Jewish culture or Judaism. If you had Jewish ancestry, it didn't matter what you did, who you were as a person, people like Marr would still want you dead & created the label "antisemite" for themselves specifically to describe this difference between them & people whose "Judenhass" was religiously motivated.

But most of the self-confessed antisemites in the 1800s never really thought about non-Jewish people speaking Semitic languages in Africa or the Middle East. In the 20th century, the Third Reich under Adolf Hitler was explicitly clear that the term antisemite referred to hating ethnic Jews & that ethnic Arabs weren't considered to be Semites under Nazi reckoning. Indeed Hitler had mostly positive feelings towards Arabs & had Arab friends, including avid Nazi collaborator & participant in the Shoah, Muhammed Amin al-Husseini, aka the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.

The term "antisemite" has never referred to Arabs, Eritreans or Ethiopians. It has always being about hating Jewish people or assimilated descendants of Jewish people. To pretend otherwise is a distortion of history.

remembering the time a jewish girl called me anti Semitic because i liked goblin cookie from cookie run and didnt believe the grinch was made to make fun of jews, but im literally Eritrean. my mom is an immigrant.

yang takes the target off raven's back so the possibility that spring was involved in summer's mission and the palpable taste of betrayal makes me wonder if summer, in a way, was the one who put it there in the first place

So like. My dad Michael au right

Its all fluffy n fuzzy right? Weeeeell

Vanessa still very much controlled and manipulated by glitchtrap, resulting in her suddenly leaving her family home and gaining memory loss

Michael is very very distressed when Vanessa goes missing, and searches for her everywhere- but to no avail. She left no note, not even a clue as to where she went, and Michael is terrified for her safety.

Later on, about a year later- gregory starts acting... off. Michael sometimes swears some of his new behavior reminds him of William, but he does his best to brush it off as just being related to William. The whole 'doctor rab' thing is both cute and concerning.

Then gregory goes missing too.

It was the same thing as Vanessa- starting to act weird then disappearing with hardly a trace.

Michael searches and searches, his mental and thus physical health deteriorating. Sammy has to watch his friend crumble after losing two children, doing his best to support Michael- but Michael keeps pushing him away, insisting he's fine, he just needs to keep looking.

Henry does his best to help too, babysitting Cassie and even coming around to help with Michaels restaurant. It breaks his heart when Cassie asks, in tears, "Why does daddy not pay attention to me anymore?"

It doesn't help that Michael had once asked him the exact same thing.

A year, almost two years later- Michael finally finds a distress call from no one other than gregory, not long after the Pizzaplex had partially collapsed and become abandoned.

Michael went looking, completely unaware of his youngest daughter following after him.

A little thing about the dad Michael au:

Michael usually covers up his springlock scars with makeup! He's gotten used to the feeling of his face and wrists being covered in thick makeup.

Though, he doesn't cover them when he stays home. His kids are very used to the scars, and have never found him scary, even when he's upset at them.

Sometimes Michael goes out without the makeup if he's feeling confident, and any time someone tries insulting him, his kids ALWAYS jump to his defense.

Cassie will Not hesitate to kick you in the balls if you're an ass to Michael lol

The baby is what I remember most!

It’s just so sad and cruel and mean and perfect :3

Truly babies are so versatile. You can use them for fun fluffy times, and you can use them for suffering! Suffering is great, I love inflicting suffering.
