#i'm getting scared lately because

While I intend this blog to remain a largely news-free space due to the constant hellstate of the world, let me be clear that I stand in full support of both the Palestinian and Jewish peoples who are currently experiencing relentless hate and suffering in these horrid times.

I am disgusted at the number of people, especially "progressives" on this website who have used this situation to spread both Islamophobia and Antisemitism. This goes double if you dared to reblog those "punch nazis/fascists <3" and "[x] are welcome here!" posts while in the next breath spreading dangerous fucking narratives that kill people.

So many people in online political spaces evidently see this as nothing more than a case of picking "sides", when ultimately what matters is supporting the oppressed against fascist governments and militias, wherever they are.

Common people will always have more alike with each other than their leaders. This is not a novel concept. Your activism should always be motivated by love and compassion first, and hatred second. If you use your beliefs as an excuse to find an acceptable target to vent your hatred towards regardless of the actual material outcome, you are no fucking activist.

You're a bigot.

For a solid month I used to keep getting recommended on youtube “this song sounds like you’re 14 and in love” and every time my honest reaction as an aromantic was: Y’all were experiencing LOVE at FOURTEEN???

So, here's the TFP/Skulduggery Pleasant AU fic I've been working on and eluding to since may. Very Optiratch focused, although I'm trying to expand and add more characters and dynamics and such. For SP fans I can jingle the keys of Larrikin, Skulduggery and Ghastly making appearances and a bunch of worldbuilding about different magic disciplines, The Caves and Proto-Cleavers

In terms of where in the timeline the fic is, the latest chapter takes place in 1620, and so far only the oldest of the characters are around (because the rest of them quite simply haven't been born yet)

Also, here's a drawing I made related to the AU, a bit farther down the timeline than the current most recent chapter but still nowhere near present day

Unfortunately the giant Pyrenese dog with the Wolf collar is symbolic in nature, there are no giant dogs in the fic. It would be an altogether less grim affair if there were giant dogs, I think.

[Image ID: A digital painting of a younger, human Ratchet from the AU described above, accompanied by the front half of a giant great pyrenees dog. The background is a muted cyan color. The dog is farther away in the background, leaping forward with its teeth bared. Its white fur is stained red with blood, mostly originating from a rusty anti-wolf collar on its neck, which means that most of the blood doesn't belong to the dog itself. It has a sad look in its eyes. The rest of the dog disappears where its silhouette crosses over Ratchet's, who is likewise charging forward with a scythe wielded with both hands, bent backwards for a swing. The scythe's blade has gone black in certain parts, and is covered in blood. One of his legs is bent in front of him and the position of the scythe makes his arm cross over his face as an intentional reference to "The Fallen Angel" by Alexandre Cabanel. He's wearing an outfit that consists of white trousers, black boots and a white tailcoat with gold details, like buttons and epaulettes. The outfit is also stained in blood, with two large red spots on his side and thigh, from which Vitakinetic life energy is spilling out as white sparks. As an added effect of Vitakinesis ( the Skulduggery Pleasant version of healing magic) his bones are glowing white through his skin and his pupils are white. He's drawn as a white man with pale, lightly freckled skin and red hair. His irises are cyan-colored, and there are distinct dark spots under his eyes. He has very thick eyebrows and long, slightly wavy hair. The artist's signature, "Silverior968" is overlayed over the image in white. The color palette is inspired by the album cover for "The Albatross" by Foxing. / End ID]

I am so genuinely anxious for how the season finale of A New Wish is gonna go but whatever happens I'm going to make sure everything turns out okay for my kids. I'm not a huge fix-it fic person, but I will if I have to lol.

Also my theory on what's going to happen (since the crew has been hinting that Dev is gonna do something really bad) is that Dev might accidentally (or on purpose, but under emotional distress) wish away fairies or magic and have to fix it. Or possibly he'll only wish away Cosmo and Wanda, I don't know. Whatever he does, it'll be a doozy, but I legit could never hate this boy.

I would literally do anything to see Dev and Hazel keep being friends. T^T Like, I love having in-universe angst for them but I really want them to end up friends in the long run, even if I have to make it happen myself, I guess. Lost in Fairy World is my favorite episode, I really want more of that.

I don't even mind if we have to wait until season 2 to see them actually become friends for good. I can handle that. I just really want their friendship to pull through whatever happens. I want to believe.

Legit, even if I've gotten into a lot of shows over the years, this is the first time I'm hitting a season finale, especially one with such high stakes, while this deeply mired in hyperfixation since. Gravity Falls ended, I think. Which is quite a long time. I am not gonna shut up about this show for such a long time.

I HATE BEING DISABLED!!!!!!!!!!

[james-a-b]

on the subject of Phil's red flags. i definitely agree that someone not taking an interest in you in return for your interest on them IS a red flag, and it's shitty to put a lot of effort into a relationship with someone without a reciprocating level of interest from them. I've been in that situation before, and it sucks.

but also (and this is not me saying they're being ableist or anything like that, I really think they just haven't considered it) sometimes the reason a person doesn't visibly return your interest in a conversation has nothing to do with them being rude or disinterested. Sometimes that person's just neurodivergent. Maybe their brain works differently than yours, maybe they got carried away, or maybe that person just... assumed that if you wanted to share something about your life, you would.

I don't believe that you can determine a person's level of interest in your life by one conversation, and I don't believe that you're an asshole for not asking questions in return; there are so, so many reasons a person might not do that beyond "they don't care"

[moonlit-orchid]

When your friend needs you to be there to comfort them, but you have no energy for serious conversations and so you're stuck wondering if youre being a selfish asshole or if youre justified in not wanting to be the one to sort their problems out

Sometimes it seems like the anti fandoms are more toxic than the actual fandom that the anti fandom people hate on, it's actually really sad.

MLP fans will know what I'm talking about

[averinthine]

i should listen to one full album of new (to me) music every day. except make it two, because i should've been doing this my whole life already. gotta catch up.

[evilpenguinrika]

idk if it's my delusions or if it's actually real

but i feel like the stupid bone jutting out behind my ear has gotten a tad smaller?

like it's not as jutty-outty as Monday and it doesn't feel tender when I touch it

so like, that's a GOOD thing, right? I don't need to go to urgent care RIGHT this moment, right?

[caguaydreams]

Hm... never trust how you feel about your life past 9pm or however that goes and stuff, but sometimes I do be pondering what I do on the regular and it gets to me, the silliest things

[the-art-cave]

I was just feeling absolutely devastated about a month ago and couldn't do anything with myself because distractions wouldn't work, so I tried to draw the specific feeling I was experiencing at the time. It isn't even meant to be good or well thought out, it was just a "draw-whatever-I-can" sort of situation and this was the product. That is all

It's the end of the semester for your girl and she somehow pulled through with zero non-passing grades; please clap and cheer.
