The sad truth is that the US will never condamn what Israel is doing, it doesn't matter which party will win this election. They can't and won't do that, because it would be like admitting they are in the wrong too, since they've been doing the same thing since forever.

thinking about my inquisitor, a trevelyan who was destined to join the chantry and was incredibly resistant because she wanted her freedom (although she was faithful) and then the conclave happens, and she’s named herald of andraste, and it’s as if she’s found her calling. suddenly everything makes sense, the maker has chosen her, and she felt a fool for ever doubting her path in life

Come around to this in your own time, ik there's a BC election happening RN and this is a little personal for a political blog but I just.. need to share what the reality in Alberta has become.
I had to flee the province. As a non passing transgender adult. I was getting shouted at on the street. My car was vandalized, which made me hide anything pride related I owned. People would hide their children behind their backs when I walked passed them in stores. One woman told Security in a supermarket I was following her and was going to do something to her kid because why else would a transgender creep be looking at toys (I collect Lego. I was just Also Buying Lego.) I lost a job after my manager made loud, unsolicited comments about his opinions on transgender people.
So I fled the province. My transition was getting more and more obvious and I was afraid the next escalation would end up with me getting violently hate crimed. It's safer in the cities (I was from the peace region) I know but for how much longer? They're succeeding in making the world unlivable for transgender people. It's terrifying.
It's not just the UCP. Outside of Calgary and Edmonton transphobia has a grip on the public consciousness and the government will just keep feeding the hysteria until we all have to leave.

I hear we’re getting more of the Vees and especially Vox and Alastor lore next season
I feel like
That probably should’ve been season 1
While the extermination war should’ve been season 2 😭
Like the build up to Vaggie’s backstory, to Carmilla’s involvement, to the trial, etc., all could’ve been slowly built up around season 1 before the payoff happened in season 2
Tumblr media
Yeah ik they weren’t sure if they were getting another season
But the Vees are interesting enough themselves to have a full season, even just 8 episodes
Think starting and stopping with the Vees and life in hell would’ve given us time with the actual hotel activities too
Everything felt like it was trying to speed towards the big finale showdown
Was epic but still
I’m pretty sure people were here for the hotel and life in hell stuff in the first place, and then the political stuff with heaven second
Like in the very first episode we barely get a mini preview of the setting and characters, then half the runtime was immediately about Adam and the extermination coming up- I’m lil salty we didn’t see the commercial being kind of built up ngl 😭
Tumblr media
But still seeing what they had to work with they did a really good job
Just look at the state of my blog

Hello! So happy to see people writing for LOTR ^-^
Could you please write something about Aragorn, Boromir and Eomer with a badass muscular reader who's also really short? You can decide whether to make the reader female or gender neutral, but I have the idea of them meeting this really badass muscular reader who's like a full foot shorter than them. Maybe she runs a forge and works as a smith or is a shieldmaiden, or maybe even both, but I just love the idea of them with a little reader who can also pick them up if they really wanted to. Thanks so so much, keep up the good work!
I love your blog and Ik this won’t compare to your writing but I’ll do my best!
I unfortunately don’t really know Eomer enough as a character to write for him, I’m so sorry, I’ll work on it
Aragorn and Boromir x small but strong! Reader
Aragorn:
-You met him while he was working as a bladesmith during his time as a ranger to make a little coin
-He was looking for work and showed up at your forge asking for work
-Asks a man who works you that looks like he probably is the boss, but is then directed to the actual boss, you
-Covered in grime, wiping the sweat from your forehead, you confidently walk up to him to ask what he needs
-He’s a very polite man and is good at keeping his reactions in check
-So you don’t notice his shock at this little human lady that is built like the Hulk
-Major respect for you, probably a little scared
-One day he gets a fire going way too big; listen he’s talented but accidents happen
-But you grab him and basically throw him out of the way so you can deal with the fire while then giving him a lecture lesson on proper technique
-His brain is rebooting though so he honestly had no idea what you are saying
-His feet left the floor…doesn’t know how to feel about that
-He probably is convinced you must be part dwarf because of your size and strength
Boromir:
-You are a smith in Minas Tirith so he has seen you around plenty of times
-You have a reputation of being scary
-Short, strong, and major RBF
-When he goes into your shop to ask for a fix on his sword he is honestly scared
-But pleasantly surprised at your chill demeanor
-Does he go to his room and flex his muscles in the mirror…that’s none of your business
-It’s just that you have muscles in your arms that he didn’t even know existed
-Seriously what are all those extra bumps?
-Wants you to be a shieldmaiden and will personally train you himself if he has to
-However you may not be an experienced fighter, but you are stupidly strong so he still gets the snot beaten out of him
-You use your height to your advantage and flip him over you so he lands flat on his back
-Reconsidering his life choices, but also laughing because he doesn’t know why he didn’t expect it
-Whether or not you continue with training he has no concerns that you can fully defend yourself

hihi!!!
this can be treated as a request or just idk something random / food for thought or a simple ask. imagine andrew being in love with his older twin brother like to the point of intense fixation on him. and then one day, reader appears back home with the other woman, his mysterious gf who he kept secret until now (dun dun dun…) and she’s quite literally the opposite to the graves physically and personality wise (bubbly, sociable and outgoing). as well as ashley who is starting to be just as obsessed with reader like andrew.
how would andrew react? would he bury his anger and jealousy towards the gf and away from reader? or would he lash out after seeing them so smitten with each other? would he kill her? see her as competition? try and be more touchy feely and groping reader in front of her to assert dominance? would ashley try and do something petty such as spilling a drink to ruin the gf’s top just to humiliate her? so many possibilities….
also btw i love your works they’re lowkey my guilty pleasure esp the ones with andrew i wish he was real 😭❤️❤️
notes from coff-in: OH MY GOODNESS!!! 'i love your works they’re lowkey my guilty pleasure' STOP IT YOU'RE MAKING ME BLUSH AND GIGGLE AT WORK!!! when i started this blog i was honestly not expecting people to like my work and now there are 'nonnies in my inbox telling me that my work is their guilt pleasure!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
[masc] reader-insert, suggestive/NSFW, incest
it'd be so cute and funny to me if andrew just started palming and rubbing [reader]'s cock under the table while the girlfriend is sitting across from them. banger opening, ik
if [reader] had a girlfriend, andrew would probably be so conflicted because 'holy fuck does he like women??? does he only like women????' he'd feel kinda conflicted about it because he could be pinning not only after his brother but possibly a straight guy?? truly scandalous
ashley treats [reader]'s girlfriend the same as she did julia, acting aggressively and hostile towards her. "do you think you really have what it takes to date him? does he even love you?? if he did he would've told us all about you but he hasn't said jack SHIT about you. you're just a distraction for him, i bet. the moment you're out of sight, you're out of mind."
highly doubt that andrew or ashley would kill [reader]'s girlfriend (even if this takes place after the quarantine), but they definitely wouldn't be welcoming to her either. everything has this air of passive aggressiveness to it.
but if it was an intense fixation as you say 👀
andrew does hold [reader] close to him, way closer than what most people would hold their siblings. he'd probably have [reader] situated on his thigh or lap as he talks to [reader]'s girlfriend across from them. an arm wrapped around his shoulder while his hand forces his head on andrew's shoulder, "so tell us, how'd you meet? what did you find appealing about our brother?" [reader]'s girlfriend is sociable and polite for the most part.
imagine [reader] goes to the kitchen to grab a cup for her and andrew comes behind him, pressing himself against [reader]'s back, grinding against him a bit to reach over [reader] and grab the cup for him. it then turns into dry humping, [reader] bent over the counter while andrew humps him, growling in his ear that he doesn't want to see this fucking bitch at their house ever again. andrew doesn't like sharing with strangers, besides, family comes first, right?
(I NEED ANDREW TO HUMP ME PLEASE, PLEASE)

HI ANY TIPS ON BEING THE NEW KID AT A NEW SCHOOL
GENERALLY GETTING ANXIETY ATTACKS LOL
ALSO I LOVE YR BLOG SMM
Tumblr media
𝜗𝜚 ݁ ˖ Doll tips! ; Being the New Kid!! 🎀⭐️
Tip #1 ; Taking a Breath now speaking from experience being the new kid at school is very nerve racking ik ive done it so many times and just sitting back and just breathing snd relaxing can definitely help just calm you down!!
Tip #2 ; Making a Good Impression!! now for this one i not saying you have to be the most outgoing person ever bc it can be overwhelming especially if you have social anxiety or you just have trouble with interacting!! but definitely being as polite as possible can definitely help you in the long run!!! ⭐️
Tip #3 ; Don’t be afraid to introduce yourself
now since you are new to the school you may or may not have to introduce yourself and ik how nerve racking this can be but doing a simple “Hi! I’m _” is really good if you don’t wish to speak then a simple smile and wave is also just as good!!!
Tip #4 ; Recruiting Friends!!
if you wanna be friends with a particular person try going up to them and saying hi to them also helping people with something is a way to get to know a person or having desk/table mates is like a gold mine for making friends with people !!!
Tip #5 ; Not Everyone is a nice person
if you can tell someone is a mean person stay away from them have little to no contact with this person its will save you all the energy and time because people like this can be extremely draining trust ik that!
Tip #6 ; Be nice but don’t be a pushover
obviously being nice is ESSENTIAL but never let someone cross your boundaries or disrespect you call them out on it don’t make a huge scene obviously but definitely let them know that you’re setting a boundary and if they cross again then cut this person off because obviously they don’t respect your boundaries!!
Tip #7 ; Don’t be a Bystander!!
if you see someone getting bullied say something about it,defend them or just ask them if they’re okay being a bystander to the problem makes you part of the problem as well!!!
Tip #8 ; Don’t let others bring you down
again with making boundaries never let someone cross you or make snarky remarks call them out on it and remember this person words obviously don’t matter what other people say doesn’t define you
Tip #9 ; Join a Club!!
joining a club can be an amazing way to make friends while also doing something you enjoy and over all its just an amazing activity!!
Tip #10 ; Don’t overshare!!!
unless you genuinely trust a person don’t overshare because people switch up and anything you say can and will be used against you!
Tip #11 ; Have Main Character mindset
even if you have zero confidence fake it till you make it!! walk with good posture and some pep in ur step!!🎀
Tip #12 ; If u have a group assignment don’t do all the work
omg i can’t stress this enough only do your part if someone is failing to do their part don’t do it for them let them fail thats their own fault
Tip #13 ; Being popular isn’t everything!
social hierarchy in high school or middle school (idk what grade ur in im sorry!!) is so bleak okay being popular isn’t everything i mean sure by some chance you’ll be popular but still you don’t HAVE to fit in because ur made to stand out
Tip #14 ; Channel ur inner Elle Woods & Cher Horowitz
* apply ur self in ur academics
* if you need help ask its not a bad thing to need help!!
* Make an Organizer to stay in top of ur work!!
* STUDY!! STUDY!! STUDY!!
* if you have an assignment with a rubric read it carefully to ensure you can get the highest grade possible!!
* if you unhappy with your grade or feel like you should’ve gotten a better one ask your teacher to review!!!
* wear cute clothes and style ur hair neatly not to for the lookism esque obviously but looking ur best and feeling your best are definitely good ways to feel better!!! 🎀⭐️
* have a “what? like its hard?” mindset
* Don’t Judge!!
* Pursue ur dreams!!
* Don’t be afraid of a challenge
* Be yourself!!
Tip #15 ; Don’t Leave people out!!!
say ur in a group setting and you see one particular person being left out and not getting their chance to speak make them feel welcome ask them about what they were gonna say and include them into the conversation!!!
Tip #16 ; Eat what makes you happy and don’t yuck someones yum
if someone has a cultural dish for their lunch DON’T EVER make them feel bad about it don’t care what it is that loser behavior! also eat the kind of food that makes you feel good inside and that nourishes your body i definitely suggest packing a lunch the night before!!!
Tip #17 ; Don’t hang around Slackers!!
be friends with people that actually apply themselves in their academic and working for what they want!!!
Tumblr media
I love you anon i hope you do AMAZING at ur new school!!! 🎀⭐️

Omgongomgkmr, Big sister Mizi and regressor Ivan+Till?!?? >:3, they'd have the most fun ever.. especially with younger/baby Till
sibby mizi + little ivan & till !!!!!
i learned ivan is pronounced as “ee-vauhn” … waht
hard making banners when every photo of them is devestating
tw for mention of death
Tumblr media
ᝰ — they all regress, with mizi the oldest & till the youngest! mizi’s an older kiddo, with a pretty wide range of 7-12, ivan 4-6, and till 4 at the oldest
— mizi sometimes ends up also closer to ivan’s range, but that’s pretty rare ^.^
— ivan is also a flip, but has a slight regressor lean
ᝰ — singing battles !! it’s nice to be able to have them without worrying about dying ,,,
— always instigated by till; i think hes super competitive … also wants to be mizi’s favorite
— he & ivan always get grumpy when mizi tells them she thinks they’re both great and both winners!! (sometimes they also assign her as their background vocals ^^)
ᝰ — till wants mizi’s attention (he won’t admit how much he likes ivan’s too), and ivan wants both of theirs — cuddle piles are the solution to this! till in the middle with all of them half-asleep beneath a tree c:
ᝰ — mizi can always find something fun to do! she can easily think of games appropriate for her little brothers no matter their age !!!!
Tumblr media
[“DNI with this post if your blog is: NSFW, transandrophobic, anti-xeno, pro-israel, proship, basic DNI”]
(cw politics) ver stressed about a certain thing that happens every four years that isn’t the world cup or leap day … sory ik this was super ooc nd bad quality

I'm seeing an alarming amount of posts about ppl killing themselves over the election results
I try to keep my blog positive and ik my friends and followers are getting tired of politics, however it's still my platform and my voice so I will speak it out loud
Call 988. Please don't end your life. My asks and dms are open, I may be a dragon at heart but I don't bite. I promise 🫂
We can get through this. We are STRONG! We are like a hydra; cutting one head off will just grow 2 more. We are resilient.
If it makes anyone feel any better, the abortion ban in Missouri got lifted. It's a tiny pea compared to the racist dictator orange that's Trump but at least it's SOMETHING :(

HI HELLO I REALLY LIKE YOUR BLOG AND I WANNA START INTERACTING MORE CUZ THATS FUN
Anyways a small prompt (if you so desire), Ftm Kyle/ mtf Marj/genderqueer Kenny headcannons GO !!
HIIII ANON!!
you’re so lovely 😭 im glad you like my blog!!!
If it’s headcanons you seek, then it is headcanons you shall receive :)
Mtf Marj
- i feel like her first sign of transition would be because of this one time during one of her regular visits to the hello kitty store (which she still visits as a teen/adult because you KNOW she’ll be spending all her adult money on Sanrio merch) she wanders into the clothing merch aisle and stumbles upon this really cute skirt. One of those really nice old ladies (who are too kind for this world I swear) catches her looking longingly at the skirt and urges her to try it on. She realised how much she loves it and soon it goes from Butters to Marjorine and she’s now a regular Sanrio dress collector and her and the old woman are now besties <3
- she confides in Kenny pre transition about her gender questioning and he encourages her to explore it. He’s actually the first person to see her in a skirt
- she’s OBSESSED with cutesy hair clips and it gets to a point where if one of her friends see adorable hair accessories they know she’ll like, they’ll most likely get them for her. It’s the same with any cutesy accessories, actually. (Ooo look at those hair clips, Marj would love em!)
- when she does come out, most of the negativity she faces comes from her parents. They keep her isolated at home and only allow her out to study or to go get groceries. They survey her even more until she ‘snaps out of her phase’ (which never happens and she moves out as soon as she can when she turns 18. She would struggle with cutting all contact; it’s something she works through in the future). Kenny and the other three still help break her out without her parents noticing. Kenjorine have their first few dates through secret night meetings
-she loves to visit pride parades when she’s older with her friends, it’s a yearly tradition. She loves meeting younger trans people and reassuring them that they WILL see the light at the end of the tunnel and to embrace who they are!!
Ftm Kyle
- Kyle transitions relatively young, like in his preteens (11-12 or so?) and only Stan, Kenny and Cartman knew about it from the start.
- I tend to headcanon Gerald as an emotionally absent father. Sheila, being the ‘woke’ politically involved mother, helps her son transition. They both have their flaws and they tend to resort to not talking about Kyle during family reunions, which also leads Ike to become ‘the golden child’ (I love ike by the way this is not a dig at him 😭). Gerald always loves to passive aggressively remind him that him deciding to transition is going to make him lose a lot of opportunities in life and that it’s not ‘too late’ to reconsider. They get better about it when Kyle grows older.
- Kyle never used to talk about his transition because of the negative way his family talk about it. It never really comes until they hit teen age where gossip and drama is at its peak and people find anything to spread as gossip and Kyle’s transgender identity becomes a hot topic for a while. It’s a tough time for him but Kyle being the outspoken person he is, quickly ends the wildfire with his words (and sometimes fists in Cartmans case)
- his extended family still don’t really support his transition and tend to make backhanded comments. When people meet his grandma, she’s like “meet my granddaughter****!” And you see a full grown man walk in and say “don’t mind her, she’s a bit senile. Old people, am I right? I’m Kyle.” :)
-kyle and Marj become really close during her transition and he started to become one of the first people she goes to for advice and help. He definitely supported her a lot during the start of her transition and he tends to join her to go to pride parades in solidarity, even if he’s not as comfortable putting his identity on display
-even though Kyle is confident and outspoken, he does have his vulnerable moments where he needs to vent and spill all his bottled up worries (Stan is the one he calls and holds close during these moments). It also really affects his dating life and he was really hesitant to start trying to see people. He got Stan in the end though :))
Genderqueer Kenny
-his first look into the genderqueer world was when he was sorting through Karen’s clothes. (His first look into trying on different clothes is with princess kenny, but he didn’t really think that deeply about it at this time). He’s really hesitant to throw anything out (understandably because of his living situation) and he discovered one of Karen’s skirts that was a gift from one of her friends that was a few sizes too big. He wore it and loved it and starts to wear it around the house
-his parents and his friends don’t really care (they’ve met princess kenny before lmfao) and Karen LOVES playing dress up with her older brother. He starts to wear the dresses and skirts out in public (because it means more clothes for him, duh) and when people question his gender, it’s always a shrug followed by a “I don’t give two fucks on what I am. I dress how I want and feel how I want. We only live once anyways, dude.” If you press harder and you’re closer to them, you’ll probably get a deeper answer about how they tend to not feel permanent in their gender identity, similar to how they never feel permanent in life (their immortality)
- dude just chills and tries on skirts with Marj
- he goes by whatever pronouns and his style changes literally every other day (greasy masculine vibes to a feminine, still slightly greasy vibes) don’t let this guy free in a thrift
- Kenny’s willingness to wear anything literally helps Karen kickstart her fashion career in the future lmaoo
THIS TURNED OUT SO LONG BUT I PUT MY ALL AND TONS OF EFFORT IN!! I hope you like it anon!!! feel free to send me another ask literally whenever and THANK YOU FOR INTERACTING <3

ik your blog says swifties dni, but I have to say I agree with so many things you say. I've liked ts' music since lover era, and as a poc bi girl, I loved how she was trying to be more politically active and informed, especially in the documentary, because i felt seen, that one of the ppl I look up to understands. But now, ever since MH, I have seen a shift in her and the fandom's behavior and it sucks how these ppl don't really give a shit about poc swifties or lgbtq swifties, and atp neither does she. The unnecessary versions of ttpd, flying on her jet just to see her bf (touring is still explainable to an extent ig, but wtf is this), her being a billionaire, not speaking up about palestine, roe v wade, or any issues, or the harassment Joe alwyn is facing (im his fan too)- and swifties don't even give a shit. I have felt so alienated from this fandom whose majority is cishet white ppl with a warped version of reality, your blog genuinely made me feel much better, because I thought I was overreacting or that I lost it, whenever I mentioned such issues, cuz other swifties would attack me, and it's refreshing to see that other ppl have noticed this shift too
i guess this blog is a safe space for swifties too, who are brave enough to criticize her actions and can see through this cult like mindset that most of her fans possess

HI PAE PAE
ruler of lore 🙇‍♀️
i might’ve missed this on your blog. if you, pls redirect me to the correct resources. but after the death gardens, i wanna know the history and culture behind the gods and their belief in death in general. life, magic, everything. i read your post on the runes system briefly (gorgeous by the way. great distraction from pathology. i’m always doing pathology 😔) BUTTTTT can you pls ramble more about it? i wanna know what makes someone of magic. sponsorship from ike? is there drama between the gods? how has it affected history? how does it affect believers and their contrasting dynamics? how does it affect politics?
i just wanna know everything now pls. your worlds absolutely fascinate me. you’re so brilliant <3
anyways!! toodles!! ciao!!! love you pae pae!! <3
Hello Naveena darling. I will be answering your ask in my 30 minute study break. I hope you’re happy.
History and Culture behind the Gods
Firstly let’s define gods in my world.
A god is any creature with enough energy that they need Ansiel components to prevent it from destroying themselves.
Energy can be genetic but it weakens down the generations.
More commonly Energy is absorbed by children who are born in an area where that energy is concentrated, for example Tulaim was born where the primordial of fire died, so he adopted large amounts of that residual power, despite being born to mortals.
Culture
Some of the largest cultural separations between the gods were:
Interaction with mortals
Relationship to mortality
Generational power and age
Realms and domain
Interaction with mortals
So different gods interact with mortals very differently.
Some gods’ domains are entirely centred around mortals, like Rhosemne - goddess of memory or Kithaer - god of madness rely on mortal minds for their domain. These gods are called the Azeraad
The Azeraad interact constantly with mortals either in person or through their realms, like the dream realms.
These interactions are often personal and long-term. Some gods have used their magic to significantly extend the lives of mortals they interact with.
The Dieral gods on the other hand need no connection to mortals. They are the gods of the elements and of magic and forces. They could exist just as comfortably with every mortal dead.
This means many dieral gods see mortals as pests undeserving of their attention and begrudge the idea that some gods need them.
They see the Azeraad’s reliance on mortals as weak and this issue has started many wars. See also the separation dissolution post here
Relationship to mortality
This is another big point of controversy between the gods, to what extent the gods are like mortals.
This really escalated when the concept of sorcerers started. These are magical casters who, like gods, have their own energy store that they cast from.
The issue here is that gods and sorcerers cast in exactly the same way, the only distinction is the amount of energy a caster has.
This has led some gods to see themselves as not too different from powerful mortal caster, with only the discrepancy of lifespan. Other gods are incredibly offended at this notion, thinking of themselves and their culture as inherently transcendent. Specific proponents of this discussion are:
Tulaim, as he was born to mortals he has a connection where he sees himself in them
Ezemhaziel, despite technically being a dieral god he has always felt a kinship with mortals as they use his domain so creatively and reshape it in new ways.
Azhan the dieral god of light (part of the EM spectrum) who, as one of the oldest gods, has always believed gods should be separate from mortals as a matter of principle.
Generational Power and Age
So, gods can be created spontaneously especially after major redistributions of magic.
Groups of gods created from a specific magical event are called generations.
The first generation were created directly from Ike at the beginning of the world with the remainder of its power after it had made the primordials.
The second generation were created from the deaths of elder primordials. The redistribution of this power created most of the modern gods.
The third generation were created from the deaths of the younger primordials. They tend to cast with higher weight components as this chain of high energy events caused magical fusion.
The fourth generation is new gods formed from the dissolution or the separation, again separate post.
It is heavily debated if this generation contains the many sorcerers formed from the same events.
So essentially the debate here is which generation is the best.
The first generation claim it is them as they are Ike formed, but the second would argue that their magic has the longest history and their lineage in the primordials deserves respect.
The fourth generation is not highly respected at all. They tend to be less powerful and are all much younger than the other gods so are often overlooked.
Realms and Domains
So a gods domain is what magic their energy is made up of, their realm (if they have one) is essentially the plane where their domain holds the most power.
For example: Kithaer’s domain is madness and choices, so his magic can mess with people’s senses and thoughts.
His realm is the Mazes. A labyrinth plane that fosters insanity and forces choices. It is one of the mind realms.
So the debate here is: Is it better to have a realm or not?
A realm can give a god more influence if it is active and or essential. The death realms for example are very influential.
However maintaining a connection to a realm takes up a constant portion of a gods power making them weaker.
Another argument is over which domains are the most influential.
This goes back to the whole Azeraad Dieral issue, but also petty arguments.
A god of the oceans may argue that they cover more of the earth’s surface so are more powerful whereas a god of the land might think themselves more influential as they host more mortals.
Ok, I have copied the rest of your questions and will get to them in a separate post later. I love you too (begrudgingly)
I hope you enjoyed, you amazing yet incessant mutual.
Thank you for the ask Naveena <3
