Proposition: Make the moose a sign/symbol against Trump, Project 2025, etc.

I try not to get personally political on here (i.e make my own original politics posts instead of reblogs), but I had this idea a few days ago so I thought that I might share it.

Hear me out on this, but what if we used the moose as a sort of symbol for protesting against Trump, and by extension Project 2025? There’s a few reasons on why I came to this conclusion, but the main ones are the following:

Moose are often targets of hunters and poachers, similarly to how so many communities and minorities are being targeted by Project 2025. However despite that, moose will commonly fight back if they feel or are threatened, which is also similar to how we are trying to fight back, protest, and prepare for the outcome of this election.

What moose symbolize. In different places, moose symbolize several things. The most notable however is that they often symbolize strength and pride.

Moose are very enduring and adaptable animals, just like how we will endure these next four years and survive through Project 2025 and Trump

Feel free to build on this idea, spread it around, and more! If you want to use something like an emoji in relation to this idea, then I’d recommend the deer (🦌) emoji rather than the moose (🫎) emoji, since not everyone’s device can see it.

I will be keeping comments on this post on for now. BUT, if Trump supporters suddenly start trying to flock to this post and spew their bigotry and rhetoric, I will not hesitate to turn comments off. My account is NOT a safe space for Trump or Project 2025 supporters. I can and will block any accounts that support him or are ‘neutral’ on him. Please fucking educate yourself if you are in support of him.

If you’re struggling because of the election’s outcome, remember this: you have to survive and keep going. If not for yourself, then for your family (whether it be biological or your found family). If not them, then your friends. If not then, then your pets if you have any. If not them, then dammit do it out of spite. Stay alive to spite that badly tanned, sad excuse of a man. Outlive him. Live your life happier than he or anyone associated with him has ever, or could ever live.

I believe in you. We can get through this. Together.

I’m rewatching some episodes of Sanders Sides, so I thought I could continue the list I made of random words and quotes from Sanders Sides. And as I said last time, feel free to add some memorable quotes in the replies and reblogs.

Link to the first post: https://www.tumblr.com/monkeythefander/761464775739916288/heres-a-list-of-random-words-and-quotes-related

Here’s the new list:

- “I’m feeling bitterly jittery and not very glittery.”

- “You shine… bright like a diamond!”

- “A prince has got to slay.”

- “There is never a wrong time to dress in drag.”

- “That was not our most feminist moment.”

- Creepy crawly death dealers

- “Pump the breaks Princey.”

- “Crofters, the only jelly I’ll put in my belly.”

- “I don’t think I’m smarter than anyone else. I know I’m smarter than everyone else.”

- “What the heckity heck, five abs in one pec.”

- “We wouldn’t want to be our own villain.”

- “Parana-vigilant, I just made up that word right now.”

- “And you are very good at finding new ways to insult me.”

- “Quack.”

- “I feel more like a play it safe, evasive warrior.”

- “I got overexcited.”

- “That is magnificent… how you managed to become even angstier.”

- “Ah, I see what you did there, that was cute, a nice bringing it around full circle.”

- “Guess who has ten fingers and is very confused…this guy. I’m very silly like that.”

if Zoro asked Luffy 'would you still love me if I was a worm?' Luffy would be vibrating out of his skin with excitement detailing how he would take care of Zoro and build him a special little enclosure and make him little swords out of sticks so he can still achieve his dream of being the world's greatest swordsworm and feed him worm sized portions of meat and booze everyday and carry him around everywhere so they can still do everything together.

he also delightfully rambles about how he could be a worm also and they'd go on worm adventures together and make friends with all sorts of other bugs and how much fun they'd have.

edit: there's fanart for this scenario now! show it lots of love it's absolutely adorable!!!

Heads up to artists drawing Blind Jiaoqiu content!

The canon explanation for why he went blind is due to poison and not any physical trauma, so there's not really a reason for him to have bandaged eyes or a blindfold. Please take care when representing disabled people and avoid going right for the stereotypes.👍

hello, what are alterhumans?

OMG i completely forgot about this i am so sorry idek if the person who asked this will see this bc it was months ago it was asked and i totally forgot

—-

not sure how to explain, so heres the definition i took from a discord server im in:

“Alterhuman: individuals are people who have experiences or an identity which they perceive as being alternative to or outside common societal ideas of humanity.”

includes things such as otherkin, therian, otherlink, fictionkin, etc. can be for spiritual reasons (such as believing you were [insert creature] in a past life) or other reasons (such as psychological for example)

for example, someone is spiritual dragonkin (type of otherkin) if they believe that in a past life they were a dragon and identify as dragonkin. that would make dragon their kintype (the type of otherkin they are)

[telestoapologist]

things i've learned in gambit:

have a prepped team member to keep watch over the bank if you've got a lot of motes so when the blockers come, you won't lose a lot. help them out so they can get a chance at the heavy ammo. take one for the team if you have to.

same goes for invading and the invader. if you've got someone who's REALLY fucking good at invading (or more than one person), they're the best to send/let go over. for the opposing end, everyone should do their part in keeping a lookout because there's multiple spawning points. if it's a hard hitter, keep wary of sniper points and have heavy hitting guns ready to take them out asap

listen to drifter, sometimes doing what he says is for the best. also he's incredibly motivational

listen to music too. specifically the more laid back kind.

things i've learned in iron banner:

listening to music instead of the dialogue and sounds around you is more efficient and fun

work as a pack, pun intended. you are wolves for a reason.

do NOT go off on your own to chase after someone who's pissed you off. it's probably an ambush/trap, but you also can't let your emotions and need for revenge get the best of you. 9 times out of ten you WILL eat shit and feel bad about it later.

share the green ammo. please. you are most likely not the only person on the team who's carrying around slugs and grenade launchers.

things you can apply for both (and any group-based pvp playlist):

defend your team and look out for each other.

if it's not fun for you anymore and you're genuinely stressed/angry or just not feeling it anymore, just leave. i promise it's not worth it.

don't fucking bring witherhoard unless you're trying to get the catalyst (I think it requires pvp, but if not, then don't). absolute crusty ass no-skill winless behavior

don't be a bad sport and/or an asshole. remember it's just a game but the people who you're playing with are real. if you're teammate is being a dick and confrontation doesn't scare the shit out of you, call them out on it in whatever way so long as you're not also being a massive piece of shit.

pay attention to your pets/kids/family/etc. i promise you no video game is worth fucking neglecting those who rely on and love you. no bullshit, no excuses.

just have fun and be cool!!! get sillay with it, even

AAAAAA SEA WHAT DID YOU YHINK OF ALSNT!!!!!! what were your fave rounds/characters???? :D

MIKI AAAA HELLO thank you so much for enabling my rambling!!!! I'm honestly obsessed, I really knew very little about alnst going into it and really didn't know what to expect but my goodness... I'm still scrabbling around the floor looking for the shattered pieces of my heart afsfgsgs - it is so good!

I've just watched all of the rounds for a second time (the fourth (?) time for round six), and there are just so many details!! I noticed so many new things on a second watch and it really shifted my opinions. I think round six is undeniably my favourite due to both the song and the accompanying video; I simply have no words. The tiny details, the glances, the lyrical dialogue, the unparalleled angst of the unrequited longing? I have been wounded by it! But I keep returning to it! It's really difficult for me to compare the other rounds because they are all incredible too; round 1 is so heart-wrenching and sets up the premise so well, I really love the song in round 2, the story in round 3 is so wonderfully sad, and round 5 also has an exceptional narrative to it. They're all just too good to solidly rank; I like essentially all of the songs and the videos, but I know that round 6 is the standout to me currently! I have been reading lots of analyses about the small details in that round which have been making me feel profoundly unwell so naturally it is my favourite and I have watched it several times already afsfgssg.

And favourite characters... well, that's another impossible subject! Once again, I am left marvelling at how good so many of them are and how compelled I am by them by virtue of the small amount of information we are essentially given. I came away from my first watch feeling very drawn to Till - I think I was very compelled by his backstory and saw some of myself in him, and he really stood out to me as a performer. I also loved Mizi and Sua, along with Hyuna, and felt very curious about Ivan - in fact, he is the character who was lingering in my mind for most of yesterday. I had a much greater appreciation for the subtleties of his character during my second watch, especially through round 3. In a way, it's like my first watch was spent with a focus on Till's perspective, but on my second watch I seemed to attach myself to Ivan's view instead, which made me like him even more. My appreciation for Mizi and Hyuna also grew exponentially, alongside my hatred for Luka. Ah, I really, really, could not settle on a favourite character at this point; it is definitely between Till, Ivan, Mizi, and Hyuna - but they are just so, so good it is impossible to decide! I do feel very anxious about what the next round will have in store for them :')

Thank you again for asking - I'm sure I will be venturing down your alnst tag soon, Miki, so apologies in advance!! Seeing a lot of your posts on the dash about it definitely helped pique my interest for sure! I would love to know your favourites also, and I hope you're having a wonderful day!! :> ⭐️

[uniquezombiedestiny]

actually fuck it. i need to ramble more

thinks about the snow queen and bella. ive recently delved into her story and some of the of fairytale (dubious from some webbed site but. yknow lmao) and wound up with lots of think of... based on her ruina dialogue + appearance, the queen like to challenge the brave. in the fairytale, kai and gerda's childike hearts are still there at the end. bella is someone with a kind heart and not much bravery. (really, she polarizes, but her bravery is more around the alternate alone. she can be brave!! but usually and - especially as she declines - she loses that aspect, likely trading it for simple anger, red-shoes-y desire, etc.) she was also forced to grow up - she is still that lonely kid she was years ago. she is still in t-589, still in c-127. she has a lot to learn, still, and to discover.

the snow queen is.. an interesting figure to me when it comes to her relationship with bella. she is cold, silent, only watching bella as she simply speaks into basically nothingness. she may, sometimes, give her a cruel smile. what a childlike, brave little soul; one who chose to bear the cold. one who enjoys her presence.

"kai saw things he didn't need or want to see." / "he felt like what he knew amounted to so little."

to bella, the queen is a respite. friendcorp has shown her so many new things, good and bad. on the bad side, her mental issues have been unraveling. her unhealthy mindset isn't going to work indefinitely like it used to. but, with the snow queen, it's familiar. it's not even that cold anymore, you know? she's long been used to cold, quiet, endless hallways. talking into the silence - like her words are simply carried away by the wind - is a relief, because noone can hear them. for once, she can speak, and there will be no consequences. and if the queen does hear, well, that's alright. she trusts her, now.

the cold isn't so bitter anymore. it's homely. familiar. it's lively, biting into her skin, sending shivers down her spine. she feels real.

and, ofc, i'll talk about her suicide attempt too. especially her own views on it... eventually, it becomes like a knightly duty to her. she must do this to save everyone else - surely, we'll all be happier this way. yes, you'll have to face this loss. but beyond it is a better ending for everyone here. this is the most logical choice... isn't it?

the snow queen gave kai a kiss - one to no longer feel the cold, and one to forget everything. his family, friends, etc etc. that way, he would stay with the snow queen. she would show him the truth of the world - the shattered mirror shards, his knowledge being so little, the mirror of reason.

"what a shame... all your friends who could help you are gone." really, it's like she pities bella and her kind, lonely heart. she pitites most people, i think, like when she laughed at lee during their duel, or gave merry a sickening smile shortly before being frozen. where her heart should be is empty - she is a cold and calculating being.

in ruina, the mirror is surrounded with frozen people, with the throne being the head of the circle. really, both her and bella have done this time and time again. bella has endured loss after loss, leaving entire worlds behind. the snow queen has killed person after person, snuffing flame after flame. her suicidd isn't much different. it's just, this time. it's a calm, slow end. bella puts up no fight or front of bravery, now. she just wants to return to her dreams of a better world. the queen will gladly show her this, in a place made only for themselves, where bella can finally be completely and utterly herself, in all it's flaws, without consequence. with all of her emotions overtaken by freezing cold, she can finally smile.

and she'll be preserved as an angel. she'll look beautiful, perfect, in this ice, like a bug in amber. she will always be the perfect kid.

also, in the og story, the shattered mirror wound up being made into things like glasses and windows. that fits well with bella's glasses. when kai's eye gets a tiny, tiny shard in it, he sees everything as distorted and ugly. but he sees perfection in snowflakes. the snow queen is made of them, the queen to the "snow bees" that are snowflakes. (they're actually described as snow bees in the story!)

I completely support Israel being held accountable for its crimes against humanity, but we also can’t ignore that Indonesia has been violently occupying West Papua - a region more than twice the size of occupied Palestine - for the past 55 years, and has murdered 500,000 indigenous West Papuans in the process. Indonesian soldiers routinely burn indigenous villages to the ground, pose with the bodies of murdered Papuan civilians, and actively prevent journalists from reporting on the genocide. West Papuans often refer to their homeland as “Indonesia’s Palestine.”
