the first time i realized symbols of palestine are oranges and olives smth legit got shaken within me. those are symbols of my land too. i live on the mediterranean sea. olives are in each song and painting of my people. there is an olive in my garden. there is a huge old olive in the middle of my city, older than internet, older than phones, older than the apartheid colony. if occupiers came here and bombed them i legit dunno how id feel. my cousins cut down the trees my mother gave her entire inheritance for; she gave up a house just to see them protected. two orange trees. do you know what a tree means. people of palestine being ready to give life for their trees. do you realize how sacred these two sorts - olives and oranges - are. olive is a sacred tree in so many cultures. there is something so cruel about violating them. theyre life-givers, theyre older than occupiers. the hubris you must have to cut down a single tree on the land which isnt yours, which is older than you. thats act of unparalled narcissism, of challenging god directly. trees so sacred their branches were thrown to jesus. to give someone an olive branch means to extend a hand of peace. holy spirit is a white dove with an olive branch in its mouth. the hubris you must have to go against the tree of peace itself

important stuff ig

so this is kinda gonna b like a dni, the exact list of ppl i dont want on my blog will be at the bottom and the rest is pretty much just general rules i wish 4 ppl to follow when intracting with me. this post will expand over time so dont forget to check it every now and then! also my other social medias will be in the tags!

NOTES/RULES FOR MY BLOG:

honestly theres so much fandom drama (not just in fandoms im in but in general) that i dont know abt or get overwhelmed trying to look into so whatever side of an arguement ur on as long as u dont drag me into it u can interact with my blog. but please dont start fights with people on my posts or anything. btw, this isnt abt anyone in particular im just putting this out there. also, im a minor, so dont flirt with me or anything especially if ur an adult. this doesnt mean you cant interact with me but if i get bad vibes from you im going to block you. most of me making fun of ppl is jokes, unless theyre a nazi or a pedo or something.

DNI LIST:

homophobes, transphobes, racists, pedos, all that usual stuff. also if you support marilyn manson, mindless self indulgence, most black metal musicians tbh but especially varg vikernes or any problematic musician/band like that (you can listen to the music and still interact as long as you do your best to not support the ppl behind it.) if you try to force your religious/political beliefs on people, block me. dont even hesitate. also if your "opinions" are that certain people shouldnt have human rights because they arent like you then leave, i shouldnt have to say this because of a lot of the other things ive written here but i will anyway. and kindly get the fuck away from me if you call trans people "uwu smol beans" or refer to nonbinary as "none beany" or however u spell it. doesnt matter if ur cis or not. its not quirky or cute its annoying.

anon from before (btw im not white) - okay i agree w/all your points; my main thought was just... the way tumblr engages with media tends to be in a "how do we fix it" type of post that are usually character-centric and how that's not easy to do with spn BECAUSE of the lack of characters of color. which is especially true with how you pointed out that the problems are really baked into the premise of the show. 1/2

although i guess people could make posts that completely rewrite the premise of how hunting works/the religious mythology of the show?? which i guess would be kind of cool/IS something people should discuss more. 2/2

i mean thats the thing is like. there needs to be DISCUSSION of the whiteness inherent in supernatural before we can jump to fixing it?? and saying like Oh well it’s complicated and i dont know how it would be fixed ISNT a good enough reason to just not talk abt it. like there needs to be more of a general recognition within this fandom abt how DEEPLY and FUNDAMENTALLY racist supernatural is (as in its not just a problem of a couple people of color got killed off) bc thats part of consuming fiction critically. Like i dont mean to be on my soapbox about this but i just started watching the show a few months ago and it was genuinely shocking how deep the eugenics rhetoric runs and even more so to see that the vast majority of white fans on here dont..actually talk about that
