#i just don't want to dwell on it

[towlerknows]

I'm here for people that love and accept Louis Tomlinson.

I'm so tired of years and years and YEARS of bitching about management and labels and marketing and PR and stunts and bullshit. Not that we were wrong (though we were, a lot), I'm just tired and want a fun fandom around someone I think is worth paying attention to.

Louis is worth paying attention to. Talent, personality, charm, charisma, looks - he's got it all. Plus the biggest heart of anyone I've ever seen.

The rest is just noise and I'm tired of hearing it. So I'll be unfollowing folks that want to keep talking about it. Still love ya, just not interested in that. Please don't take it personally.

Dear people in the gomens community, Just remember that you will be okay. We will be okay.

The Good Omens fandom is very comforting and we support each other. And the show, the book, and the fandom brings me comfort and joy. I know this is a tough time for us, but I just wanna say that we're all struggling and you're not alone. Whatever you're feeling is valid.

Keep enjoying yourself what makes you happy.

Keep drawing fan art.

Keep on writing fanfictions.

Keep making fan merchandise.

Keep doing whatever you're doing. You're doing great. :)

Please don't give up. Hang in there..❤️‍🩹

After some space to think and calm down, I've come to accept some on here are legitimately oblivious to their antisemitism. I got some messages from very caring people and some pointed out gaslighting that's been happening to me and it meant a lot to me to feel affirmed. I don't like using the word antisemite to anyone directly because I think it makes people defensive and resistant to growing. Growing up, most people have had to realize one way or another that racist thoughts or actions were conditioned into them by society around us and grow out of some line of ignorant thought. Same thing goes for antisemitism.

I've heard more than once "You can thank Zionists for how people treated you". I don't agree with shirking the responsibility of specific ignorant incidents onto an outside party. The person who was antisemitic to me did that, no one else and it's not excusable. Anyway I'll be back slowly, thank you to all who checked in on me.

My roommate is humming some melody to himself and I can hear him through the wall. I get to fall asleep to this safe, joyful, calm sound every night and in exchange, I wake him up with my own music.

He is better at reading Hebrew than I am, and we sit often together to read a page together, of the autobiography my grandmother sent me on Google docs. It is too much for me to read alone, but he sits and listens to me try, and he reads to me when I get tired.

We sit and study in the living room together, me doing my homework, him designing a synth for fun. He gifted me a shirt from his mother's charity and I wear it with pride. He taught me to cook a soup and we ate it together on the porch.

Sometimes, I get out of the shower, and hear him fiddling around on the piano in the living room. It's a wonderful thing.

There is no point to this post. No romance, I promise. I'm just soothed and calm and happy to have such a lovely roommate.

Reposting a connverse I made in 2021. Well, specifically posting this again after editing a few stuff.

I had been so bothered with how I kept editing Steven until I made his silhouette floppy-looking. So I fixed it a bit.

And that this was suppose to be flipped in the first place (which was why Connie's nose piercing was on the right side on the original.)

btw tw for talking about abuse

I've seen a lot online about how the game never mentions Caterina's abuse of Lucanis while he was growing up (being beaten and starved, which is mentioned in the Wigmaker Job) and I think there's a small mention to it if you're a crow (when asked, he says it was torture training under the first talon and that he resented her for a long time)

And while I do think part of the reason why this isn't brought up is just due to how sanitized this game is when it comes to the crows, I think I do understand why in world wise it's not possible to just be like hey lucanis, fuck your grandma.

It's really hard, loving someone who hurts you. Because you know they're hurting you and yet, you still love them. It's even harder when they're family.

Because its not like Lucanis doesn't know that she hurt him. He says so himself - he hated her, he resented her, and althought I do think him 'justifying' it by saying that at least it prepared him for the life of a crow, at least he still admits that it happened.

But the thing is that despite all this shit, she's still his grandmother. And like, yes, blood shouldn't excuse justifing this behaviour, I feel like it's cultural. Idk how spain or italy works when it comes to family, but here in brazil, you'll hear so many stories of physical abuse happening in families, and its still a situation like Lucanis - i hate them, i resent them, i love them, they're my family.

It's a...complicated situation and I think Lucanis's situation is made worst by the fact that he only has two family members alive and that he cannot let go of.

She beat him, she starved him, he hated and resented her, and he was afraid of dissapointing her, even if in her eyes, i don't think he could. I mean, he comes back an abomination and she still tenderly says 'my poor boy' when you rescue her in the Villa.

All in all...it's tought and I think that it would not be Rook's place to suddenly make Lucanis want to kill his grandma bc he wouldn't. Sorting out those feelings is something he has to do himself, and i'l almost glad the game doesn't make rook do a therapy session with him to talk about it.

Casually lurking in Sailor Moon fandom and when I see posts mentioning the Shitennou's knightly titles, I think the translation are off. I don't know if those are just fansubs being wonky, or if even the official ones are not entirely correct...

I've also seen some posts say that "I don't understand what these means". The knightly titles are based on the image and properties associated with each gemstone in Japanese (so, if it has different meanings internationally, it's quite beside the point).

Jadeite: Knight of Resilience 忍耐 and Harmony 調和

忍耐 is often translated as "Patience" in fanworks. 忍耐 is better translated as "resilience", "perseverance", or "endurance". Even when colloquially used to say "be patient", the connotation of it is more along the lines of "endure this". The Harmony one is correct.

"Resilience" is because jadeite jade is the harder jade. "Harmony" because of its traditional usage in spiritual matters, so jade in general has the image of "peacefulness".

Nephrite: Knight of Wisdom 知恵 and Peace 安らぎ

This one makes me kind of laugh because of what Nephrite is like as a character/person. I almost always see 知恵 translated as "Intelligence". It's not wrong per se, but this term here refers to something deeper than just brain smarts, thus "wisdom". Things like wisdom that come from age, or innate perceptiveness, and so on.

安らぎ is peace, as in "inner peace". Basically, "serenity", though it's probably not a good idea to use this word in Sailor Moon for obvious reasons.

Nephrite being the native jade of China, it has been given very sagely meaning to it that persist even in Japanese symbolism. That's why it's like this, for somewhat similar reasons to jadeite's "harmony".

Kunzite: Knight of Virtue 純潔 and Benevolence 慈愛

純潔 can also mean Purity or Chastity. 慈愛 is sometimes translated as Affection, which is also not entirely wrong. It's just that the standard meaning is benevolence or mercy. "Affection" tends to be used in the context of parents and children. In this context probably not the best meaning to use.

This gemstone is associated with the Holy Mother Mary, of all things, that's why it's got very saintly imagery associated with it.

Zoisite: Knight of Purification 浄化 and Healing 癒し

The most straightforward one so I've never seen any wonky translation with this one. Those who are into healing crystals might already know this, but this title is based on the healing and purification qualities that a blue zoisite/tanzanite supposedly have.

I just want to say that all your eiffera commissions are carrying the eiffera fans and w359 fans in general I imagine. So much lovely art that we can all enjoy because of you (and the artists obv). Thank you, I want you to know that people appreciate this so much!!

oh, thank you!! of course, all of the credit here belongs to the artists; i've been lucky enough to find some very kind and talented people to work with. it's a little embarrassing how much i prioritize this, but seeing my favorite characters drawn by some of my favorite artists is the best motivator i have right now, and it's nice that it's something i can share with other people. ♡

honestly part of the reason i've been really looking forward to finally playing light fingers (aside from the obvious horrors and whatnot) is because it, alongside bag a legend, contains a Choice™ i to this day am Extremely Torn About Making. like i've known for ages that the Choice™ exists in this ambition and STILL i am undecided about it. this Choice™ is of course. well. let's just say that by the time this ambition ends, caeru may not be the only catboy around town

[uncanny-tranny]

The whole "humans are inherently awful and bad!" spiel is so tiring to me as a survivor of abuse because it comes off as abuse apologia. If humans are inherently awful, then why should it matter if you're abused - that's what humans do best! Like, genuinely, I think this mindset can harm abuse victims/survivors because they're being inundated with this idea that, well, how bad can their abuser be? All humans are horrific, why complain, why escape, and why try to resist it?

I really wish people would critically analyze where these ideas come from and where these lines of thinking can lead. Maybe it's a matter that I'm looking too deep into, but this very bleak ideology is not going to help in the long run, I think, and some of the first people who are going to be crushed by it are the people who are vulnerable or who are put in vulnerable positions in society.

i stand here

in a cozy shack by the gates of heaven

and something feels wrong

when i whispered the void's name

it was not what i was

it was a dark reflection

the space between fragments of my soul

an embodiment of every voice

insisting that he would leave me

but now

the angel's heavenly vision

has aligned us

the void is everything i am

i have merged with the voices

and in his glorious judgement

i have become the insistence

that i do not deserve heaven

i assume that the angel never meant to harm me

in all fairness

my words were murky and vague

and i do appreciate what the void has become

but clinging to it

feels wrong

now that i have risen to his side

i know the angel can hear me

perhaps he will listen

and we can work as one

to quell the voices forever

or

perhaps this was a sign

perhaps his alignment

of myself to the void

was an echo

of the void's words

perhaps i don't deserve heaven

perhaps i am not good enough for the angel

and perhaps he has come to realize that
