The fact that people portrait Hornet as a walking dynamite and a feral child when she is literally the most regal (well spoken) and royal behaving person in the inter game, is just mind blowing (it also makes me crazy)

A familiar voice graced Lloyd's ears before a certain someone joined him on the stroll so naturally and nonchalantly, like a veteran driver changing lanes without breaking a sweat. Lloyd took a glance and noticed Javier walking side by side with him, shrugging his shoulders.

c'mooon javier falling into step with lloyd so easily, so casually, the way he's done for years. lloyd not even flinching or being the slightest bit surprised about it. javier's presence at his side being such a normal part of his life that it just. happens. it just is.

c'mon.

Arthur throwing childish tantrums over something to do with Merlin means so much to me

Hm. Something about how Avrana Kern partially despises humanity for its history of genocide, hates them for being so prone to ideological stupidity, and yet not only is she actively advocating for the genocide of humanity (despite those humans being victims of the same awful event that caused her to believe humanity wasn’t worth saving) pretty much the only reason the humans are willing to resort to genocide is because her “humans are bastards” ideology meant she kept trying to kill them. And refused to grant them asylum when they asked for it. And told the spiders time and time again that the humans were an ancient enemy that would inevitably destroy them.

So, naturally, the humans stopped trusting anything to do with her. Including the entire sapient species they had no idea existed as a result of her experiment.

When fics have Roy look at Phoebe and think about the stuff he went through at her age and how it fucked him up, that hurts so good.

In celebration of the November 5th Tumblr holiday, I’d like to turn our attention to one of the many events that happened on that day three years ago and give a little update on it..

The Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict in Armenia

On November 5th, 2020, System of a Down released two new songs (Protect The Land and Genocidal Humanoidz) after being in hiatus for 15 years in an attempt to raise awareness to the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict. See, the regimes of Aliyev in Azerbaijan and Erdogan in Turkey were betting on the world being distracted by all the other events occurring at that time to make an attack on Armenia to claim it and Artsakh as their own.

The release of this new music was attached to a fundraiser to bring aid for displaced persons of Artsakh and to not let this attack go unnoticed.

As of November 5th, 2023, System of a Down has raised $281,091 in aid for Artsakh!!

But the fundraiser is still open! Click on the links to the music videos to find the fundraiser in the video description if you want to pitch in!

The attack in 2020 turned into a mere 44 day war that was won by Azerbaijan and ended in the displacement of almost 120,000 ethnic Armenians and the death of at least 6,500 people.

Even still, conflicts are ongoing. In the beginning of October of this year the last of the ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh had to flee west to Armenia.

It’s another case of “ethnic cleansing” brought on by the predominantly Christian Muslim nation of Azerbaijan. And guess who’s backing them up? Turkey and, of course, Israel.

Since September of this year, peace efforts have been made by Azerbaijan, but the process is slow and the details of these peace talks are rather uncertain. They hope an agreement will be signed within the coming month, but response from Armenia has been elusive.

While this is progress, many ethnic Armenians and Artsakh compatriots are struggling with being forcibly displaced from their homes in Nagorno-Karabakh.

To provide aid to them, please visit the SOAD music videos and head to the description, or visit this link here.

Happy November 5th

I did it. I watched Raymond Burr's final movie as Perry Mason tonight and I'm not ashamed to say I cried a little. In just shy of a year, I've watched every minute of Burr playing Perry Mason—every episode of the show and every TV movie. This character has come to mean so much to me and Burr's portrayal of him was so good and so special. I'm glad I still have a handful of the books left to read because I'm not ready to be finished with him.

not me getting choked up writing about the value of human compassion, and how it is always more of a strength than a weakness

[meanderfall]

something about the way Livane says "The Netherworld is for the Living" really gets to me, and has been echoing in my mind ever since i first heard it, probably a decade ago

I think a lot of the debate about whether characters are truly good (or evil) in sjm’s books is caused by a flaw in consistence.

sjm will establish at the start that her characters are fae, and not bound to human norms, then proceed to write them exactly as if they were human, while still excusing their ‘fae’ actions.

It makes it difficult to excuse a fae for behaving like fae, when they’re written in all other respects (except for their morally grey or outright evil actions) like a human.

It also makes the line between ‘villain’ and ‘hero’ heavily blurred, because if the hero can do awful things and be excused by the narrative, why can’t the villain?

And I get that it’s probably difficult to write truly fae feeling fae and still make the characters relatable, but that is sort of a curse brought on by herself, isn’t it

[madetrial]

some thoughts. the line that really got to me during my violet playthrough was eri's ❝ i know you're a part of operation starfall, but i could tell from our battle you're not a bad person. ❞ it was the first time in a game that really puts the player in a position of feeling like the antagonist -- or, at least, making an unpopular, hard choice before a better solution comes along. just the quiet horror from the perspective of team star -- someone new to paldea, entirely unfamiliar, barely a part of the academy, felling their bases one by one. and we KNOW that those bases are safe havens to protect bullied and ostracized kids from what's happening at the academy. that they see team star as their greatest treasure even when they're distancing themselves from school altogether.

writing advice for characters with a missing eye: dear God does losing an eyes function fuck up your neck. Ever since mine crapped out I've been slowly and unconsciously shifting towards holding my head at an angle to put the good eye closer to the center. and human necks. are not meant to accommodate that sorta thing.
