#i hate that there will never be consequences for what they did to me

[hifugoro]

Random thought that I haven’t shared because it’s technically a spoiler for the fic I’ve been working on but it’s also been driving me crazy me for weeks so I’m airing it out. I don’t think enough people utilize akechi and harus parallels. But I also think that comes as a consequence of not thinking too hard about akechi’s relationship with shido. Like. One of the saddest things about akechi to me personally is that there *is* still a part of him, a very small one, that cares for shido in some way. So small I don’t even think he notices that it’s there until his own cognition throws it in his face

So with that in mind, picture this: You are Goro Akechi. You, obviously, hate your father with everything in you. Now picture that through the grapevine, you hear about Kunikazu Okumura’s shady dealings, the way he treats his workers, and the fact that he arranged a business marriage for his daughter in this day and age. Remind you of someone? Then, you’re ordered to kill him. Guilt has never stopped you from doing your job, nor do you think you’d even feel guilty about this one. You do, however, feel bad about orphaning the girl. You probably see her in person a few times while you’re gathering information on him. She looks so sad. Remind you of someone? Now, you think, “well if this is how her life is, she probably won’t grieve him all that much” because you don’t think you’d mourn your father if he suddenly dropped dead on live TV. In fact, you know you wouldn’t. In fact, you’d probably thank whoever did it if it didn’t interfere with your super secret revenge plot. Then, you kill him. And, genuine shocker, she’s heartbroken. Well? Now what?

I think her grief would disgust him a little bit on top of flat out confusing him at first. I don’t think it even crossed his mind that she would feel that way about it. He might’ve even seen it as doing her a favor. And then after the engine room when he realizes that the aforementioned small part of him exists, and that if shido was the one who died he’d probably mourn a little too (not nearly as much as she did, but I probably don’t need to clarify that), he’d probably be even more disgusted. You could even argue that talking to her would unnerve him more than it would unnerve her if you really wanted to. Because they’re similar in the worst way they could possibly be in his eyes. Because there’s a part of both of them that cares for their fathers despite everything. Don’t you hate that

[trinityandgyatt]

to be honest I hate most of you right now 😍😍

I hop on my fav little app yk just wanting to HAVE A FANDOM AND A COMMUNITY ( and shitpost with Lizzie 💀💀 okay anyway ) and yk what my MINOR ( key word there ) MINORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR eyes see content of a show that is rated FORRRR MINORS ( idk Amazon prime rated it tv 12 so this is evidence )

AND A FANDOM BASED ON A GAME RATED 7. FOR MINORRRRSSSSS AND LIKE 90% OF THE CHARACTERS ARE MINORSSSS

( emphasis on the word minors again because some of you DO NOT KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS ) I see sexual shit like incest AND LIKE GENUINELY DISTURBING SEXUALSATION OF ( you guessed it ) MINORS.

I’m not gonna sit here and explain how disgusting it is - don’t get me wrong , it bloody is but the problem I’m really having is that people are acting like it’s not happening AND BEING FRIENDS WITH WITH PEOPLE WHO DID OR ARE DOING THIS STUFF

I’m gonna say 2 things

If your someone who did sexualise minors in the past but don’t do it now - I litterally do not give a shit if your like “ reformed “ now - you still did it - a CRIME is a CRIME , you sexualised minors which guess what it’s illegal. If you want to change , go change - but your not a part of this fandom no matter how much you think you can just join back because your like a changed person , mistakes are mistakes and consequences are consequences, no matter how sorry you are - if you did it you ARE NOT in this fandom . seriously go get some help and actually change your ways , but you will never be a part of the fandom again or atleast shouldn’t be .

those acting like it’s not happening OR EVEN WORSE being friends with people who have or are sexualising minors is JUST AS BAD - no you don’t have to bring drama to your blog by ranting about it like be , just block or report them and that’s that - if you don’t want to do that , then I’m sorry but your just as bad - acting like it’s not happening is NOT solving the issue - OR WORSE BEING FRIENDS WITH THEM IS GENUINELY NOT GOOD YOUR NOT INNOCENT IF YOUR FRIENDS WITH THEM ( even if your not doing it yourself )

this fandom is small - WE DO NOT NEED A FRACTION OF IT BEING PEDOS OR CHILD SEXUALISERS PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BLOCK THOSE WHOVE DONE IT AND DONT JUST EGNORE IT . if you don’t act on this situation and atleast block them you are just as bad .

we have people leaving the fandom because they are uncomfortable with the people sexualising minors - to which I say FAIR ENOUGH I ain’t wanna be here either I’m litterally just here for shits and giggles with Lizzie and like 10 blogs who are normal and cool

So corny and Lincoln ahh but together we actually can drive these people out and get like a good fandom - people just need to SIMPLY BLOCK THEM

I rest my case

TLDR :

. we have a serious problem in our fandom with child sexualisation

. block people who are doing it and if your not willing to or want to be friends with people who are doing it then you are just as bad as them

. even if you did it in the past and feel bad now - you still need to leave and for your own good and everyone else’s get some help

. if we want the old fandom back we have to drive these people out by force

Sometimes I either willingly or by force find myself reconciling reality with the gaslighting I've experienced in my life and have to take a moment to stop myself from getting REALLY angry

Don't get too attached

i actually really like the idea of rivalmance following the treviso/minrathous choice now. i think it would 1) help to dissuade the hate neve gets for ending up with a nonromanced lucanis, because the choice between the two cities from a gameplay perspective feels imbalanced and the romance lockout is perhaps the biggest actual in game consequence (barring anything said about the blight in AMAs because what are you talking about)

but more importantly 2) it would be more INTERESTING!! yeah yeah yeah the power of love is great but it is less great when the player is quite literally told by the game that they NEED to love their companions or they’ll all die!!! i dont know about you but i find that i don’t often love my friends out of obligation or proximity; i love their company, their personality, etc etc. and not being able to choose who my character (especially if i am meant to be seeing them as an extension of myself) likes and dislikes really takes the magic out of the roleplay experience. let me fall in love with someone who will never forgive me but cant seem to let me go anyways. let me hate my coworkers AND still save the world with them (!!!) because my appraisal of their personality has nothing to do with their competence or their being deserving of life

Kyoko still regularly visits the Corn clearing because it's her happy place, and early into the production Ren goes to visit the spot for nostalgia and happy memories. They run into each other there and Ren immediately realizes who she is

i did not make the post complaining about datv plot that i wanted to when i finished the game but one of the bullet points on it was 'where is the reckoning to shake the heavens that flemeth promised? we lost kate mulgrew for this?' which is a bullet point that might make one realize that one's complaints are very niche and specific and thats not what people look for in 10-year-later sequels and you nix the whole post

and then almost two weeks later d*vid g*ider makes a post about flemeth & morrigan & how they were always so fundamental to dragon age [which he begins by calling himself out for older women being his type- i dont want to talk about it] and another about how the scene between morrigan & kieran & flemythal was written and shot for here lies the abyss, morrigan saying she would never be the mother [to kieran] that flemeth was to her 🥺which is STILL the most impactful thing from inquisition

then you see the messy cowardly bullshit fucking story we got in veilguard, the way that mythal's fragment is in there ultimately to absolve this man for killing her, and morrigan is only there as her mouthpiece and the only way to convince this man that he needs to stop is if people tell him 'its okay man' because thats our priority right. making him feel better. fuck the dwarves dreams and the blight and the-

i don't know, i don't really have a point

the Game or whatever is the worst part of dai i’ll say it.

just got the time to start the sunshine court and I'm Vibrating out of my skin

[bitegore]

ngl i think i kind of was a genius for being like 'yeah this character is a scary killyou cannibal scary killer who scary kills you' and then realizing that the way my worldbuilding works out is that there's a nonzero chance that if you leave literally any body parts over they can just come back, depending on what they believe in their heart of hearts can kill them. Of course she'd start eating her kills. She probably tried normal stuff first and then realized it didn't work and she had to try harder if she wanted to actually keep them dead.

Still fuming because yesterday. I hate how easily I lost my cool too. Well it wasn't easy but I hate it nontheless. From my little brother too. Even if he was but a spokeman for my mother it's so enraging. Especially because the amount of time I spent mourning how distant we had grown. Like a bucket of cold water reminding me he was always a consented brat and I loved him but we got along like shit because everything always went his way. It's a house full of unworthwhile people. Call it a house of mirrors too since everyone is a liar trying to convince you are something else. Gotta keep remembering my therapist words about no kid deserving to be abused before I lose my mind

also like to clarify.. we were not expecting her to leave. and any time she would have left would’ve been bad timing but it’s like.. this was HER program and we didn’t have enough time to really get to know it as well as she did (and still does probably). and there are so many flaws in it that we didn’t have time to address and our attention was spread so thin bc we were / still are juggling a million things and trying to compensate for the vacancy in our already extremely and egregiously small staff. so i get that the leaders may be feeling unsupported and resentful of that and that is very valid. but it’s like.. if that is in fact the case i think it’s important to know that this is not ideal for us either. we lost the person who knew this program inside and out and we still haven’t recovered and even though her position has been filled now (by my new colleague bestie who is AMAZING and has been helpful and supportive and has gone above and beyond in every way and i adore them don’t get me wrong) we may never fully recover from it or at least we won’t for a very long time. and im not even just talking about like the impact on our work. i mean on us as people who were closely psychically bound together. which sounds freakish and weird but we were. that wound is going to take a long time to fully scar and when the scar forms it will always be there. so excuse us for not putting on a perfect asb less than a year after she left us we are kind of seeing the consequences of all of the horrors right now lol.

Ok gotta talk about it.

As a Jewish historian, I fucking hate Israel in ways most probably will never be able to comprehend. I'm going to try and explain it anyways. The central creation myth of Israel is that it is Jewish, and then consequently, that Israel is a part of Jewishness. Its easy to simply state this is false, but fully comprehending this and putting it into practice in thought and deed seems rare to me.

The evil at the heart of this violence predates the recent acceleration of genocide. Israel is a colony, and more than that, an antisemitic fraud itself. After WW2, when Israel was being founded, the Jews of Europe generally did not wave goodbye to their neighbors and head to the promised land. Many were expelled from their homes. Zionism itself, as an action, was a false choice at the time. A mere excuse to place an ally in the middle east, and an excuse to complete the expulsion and destruction of the European Jew. The Zionist Jew is more than complicit in this, they actively seek the destruction and assimilation of all other Jews.

Many fail to realize, and largely because of Israel, that Jews are not inherently white, Ashkenazi, European-descended people. Our faith and culture has an immense variety that is spread all across the globe. Jewishness, in population and volume of culture, exists more so outside of Israel than within it. Israel is for a very specific kind of Jew. The kind that lets Yiddish die, that attaches themselves to European things, that makes themselves and their practices as white as possible.

And they have the nerve, the fucking belligerent GALL, to frame themselves as the necessary saviors of our people. To the Zionist, questioning Israel is to question Jewishness itself. They bake adoration for the colonial machine into their very prayers, and push them on us even as children. To *not* oppress, to *not* kill, to *not* genocide, is to invite death. This is the core of fascistic thought, of course. "Kill them before they kill us." And they KNOW this too, they really do. The truth of that irony does not matter, because as is true for all fascists, the truth itself does not matter to them. They wanted this, they wanted this even before the British saw it in their best interest to give them the land. Any excuse to RETVRN, as the neo-nazis say of Rome, or the German Empire, or whatever the fuck stupid country they want to poorly animate the corpse of. Some select Zionists even *sided with the fucking Nazis* in agreement they should abandon Europe to colonize Palestine. (Haavara Agreement)

My people have proved time and time and time again you don't need a nation state to have an enduring culture. We have protected ourselves for thousands of years without the help of these spiteful, doom-saying maniacs. I was going to post something like this on Passover, but that would be hypocritical. The state of Israel doesn't actually have shit to do with Jewishness. Hear Israel (the state and supporters, Israel the icon) I should outlive it long enough to bury it. (old yiddish curse)

Free Palestine. Donate what you can, they need it right now.

Like it was never about me or what was best for me...I have to laugh because of how absolutely ABSURD it is
