AFAIK Portugal still allows requests of citizenship based on Portuguese Jewish heritage, Spain is the one that stopped doing it.

ohhhh what i heard is that like started doing it bc they wanted more citizens then realized the majority of ppl getting said citizenships were lower n middle class brown israelis n they went like u know never mind actually

btw being annoying abt this thing that happened almost a week ago at this point bc had no tumblr then but i remember at one point when we were with our cousins and kinda just chatting and hanging out nd stuff my sibling just like. was repeatedly like being mean and insulting me for the most minor things and like it was rude but didnt rly hurt that much it was j whatever yk but they kept doing this but i was mostly like whatever even though they were being pretty mean nd at some point they were like "go walk of a cliff" and i was jokingly like "ill tell mum you said that" and then they were like "well you can tell that to her but i can tell her things too yk" basically threatening to out me or like. tell our parents about me having online friends and shit which is a pretty fucked thing to say and like. a completely inordinate reaction to me making a joke but we were around other ppl nd my i wasnt out to one of the cousins so i cldnt be like "hey what the fuck is wrong with you for threatening to out me over a joke" so i was just like "you kept insulting me and our cousins thats rude!" and then they got so sulky and was like "oh im not allowed to insult people but people are allowed to insult me?" even though that like. i never said that ?? and none of us were insulting them ??? and when i was like "i never said that its wrong for people to insult you too" they started talking about how im allowed to be annoying though and thats not fair when they cant insult me or whatever. hi.

Unpopular Theory

I don't think Miquella was ready for in-fighting.

There's no guarantee that two oppressed groups would Get Along. Maybe the omens won't like the tarnished who won't like the albinaurics.

My best support for this theory? Miquella actively or passively charms people to liking him. Governing is basically a group project on a massive scale and we all know how bad those turn out. Miquella loving them - fine. Them loving each other - um...

Likewise, I dont think Miquella could turn his charm off. So I dont know if hes ever faced a disagreement before. Thats um... Thats kinda an essential skill for governing, my guy. If the only way someone defuses a disagreement is not through compromise but through liking him so much, they cant disagree - and likewise, you cant stop them from liking you so much, that's not good! In fact, that's pretty bad!!

Also like Miquella famously hated the Undead so sorry zombies, no room for you in the eternal paradise, I guess? Would Miquella have let Fia live? What happens if the god of compassion hates you?

Miquella freely offers his love for them but like how tf are you supposed to convince someone to offer that same love to another? I think Miquella tried his best to teach by example... but it ended up with people vying more for Miquella's love than vying to love each other.

Miquella's charm works against him here. Because its hard to form a mutually beneficial community when there's very much someone who is the center of everyone's universe. And it's Miquella.

All for the love of you.

It's not the same as saying, "love each other as I love you" because that's a bad message if you want people to fight your wars. JSYK. if people were less fanatic about him, theyd ask for benefits, vacations, and sick leaves.

His followers already seem ready to gut anyone who hates Miquella on any level. That's a bad precedent. Anyone who has ever been in a fandom KNOWS that's a bad precedent.

Because that's what Miquella's following is - a giant fandom for him. And again, you know when people like the same thing, that doesnt mean they like each other.

Surprise! Governing and managing a diverse group of people is hard and messy and not always kind! Mistakes will be made! Because people will choose to be mean and petty and vain! But if the alternative is that they dont have a choice... Is that better?

I think Miquella desperately needed irl experience where he wasnt mind whammying someone. I think he needed to be disagreed with firmly once or twice. And he definitely shouldnt become a god where he could win all arguments ad infinatum.

I think Miquella in the base game is a Good Guy, but hes got a lot to learn if he wants to become a good leader. And the true tragedy here is by virtue of his divine heritage, he couldnt get that experience.

TL;Dr - dont buy your own hype, constructive criticism is in fact a necessary part of growing up, haters are a sign of a healthy society - if no one is arguing with u, something has gone wrong

[thegleampt3]

i think what frustrates me about the now common discourse of "the climate crisis isnt YOUR fault, its xyz big corporations fault" is like, well yes, thats true to an extent and these companies are without a doubt manufacturing demand, YOUR lifestyle will still have to change pretty dramatically if we want to not doom ourselves. like u should not be able to enjoy the imagined freedoms of automobility. u should not be able to eat beef 5x a week. there shouldnt be new iphones and game consoles coming out every month that u are gobbling up. u should not be able to eat seasonal tropical fruits on the other side of the world during their off seasons. overconsumption in the global north is a massive problem and people's individual and collective behaviors do need to undergo a massive change. like we publically execute all those oil execs and then what happens? if ppl wanna keep driving their gas guzzling private vehicles everywhere, absolutely nothing. millitaries (especially the us millitary) are massive polluters, yes, and millitarism is often in pursuit of resource extraction and maintenance of neoliberal hegemony that those in the imperial core ultimately benefit from. saying "its not my fault so im just going to live my luxurious life guilt-free" is not the answer.

also wrt to that privilege on tumblr post i also feel like ppl here r collecting marginalized identities like pokemon cards 2 use as gotchas in unrelated arguments. like i think that as a jewish person i have a final say abt my relationship 2 judaism n antisemitism and my experiences w them, and gentiles shouldnt speak over me abt what its like to experience antisemitism, what is or isnt antisemitic, what is or isnt jewish or abt relationships w judaism. but i wont like. see a post abt media literacy or what the fucking ever n go like 'um actually im jewish' or 'um actually im autistic' or whatever right. lyke i think theres a big difference between 'you, an outsider, dont get to talk over my experiences w judaism/antisemitism' and 'im jewish so everything i say about judaism. scratch that, about everything, is objectively correct and true bc im opwessed' bc ppl on here literally do that. like i saw someone reply 'op is literally black n trans' to a comment abt a discussion that was neither abt blackness nor transness? n like i get how these identities change how u experience 4 example class struggle or misogyny but saying 'ummm im literally trans' abt someone calling u a misogynist is so ??? girl. i read an article which i generally didnt agree w but he talked about how conversations in progressive spaces shifted from centering around substance to centering about identity, even in academy, where if someone is considered oppressed they are objectively correct in everything they say. which i think i agree w bc i see it in progressive circles online a LAWT. like i wouldnt defend my paper on idk. mens gendered roles in ancient greece by going 'ummm im literally gay???' which isnt far from how these lot act, at least online

also i think 'i hate straight/cis/white/etc. ppl pay me' isnt activism even tho thats what ppl on tumblr love acting like is peak praxis. its not activism. its not even a substitute 4 a personality.

my partner responded to me sending them narcissistically horny messages about your gortash(anon from a bit ago about kinning gortash harder now) by saying “well now he has your hairline so youll stop being a wacko about that” and i have the mental image of gortash looking like a dumbass with his hair headbanded back and my mild-moderate receded widows peak bullshit, idk hes doing artificer mechanic shit he needs his billy joel armstrong bangs out off his sweaty ass forehead

casim: bullys him about it

gortash: you have the same hairline you just have horns :/

the interaction fucking floored me man its TRUE & would happen but the comeback.... u shouldnt say it LMFAOOO😭😭😭 thank u anon 4 sharing... made my night

i'll also bless u guys with this beautiful edit I made in august because yeah... yeah i have thought abt his hairline before unfortunately...

[oceanwithouthermoon]

i think its weird that i have to make this disclaimer but the internet is crazy so wtvr,, anyway,,

if i say i dont like something, that doesnt mean "that thing is bad and nobody should post it.."

i swear literally every time i even mention that i dislike something, people will go "wow does that mean u fucking hate me cuz i post that thing? ur a fucking stupid bitch and all ur opinions r wrong" LIKE ?? er.. no. just because i say i dont like certain characterizations of certain characters (the saiki k fandom is CRAZY about this cuz i can state an opinion on literally any character and a group of people will still go 'well only we're allowed to post our opinions about them because we're always right!1!1!'), or certain ship tropes (mentioned my hatred of toxic yaoi maybe once or twice on here months ago and people STILL get mad at me as if i said toxic yaoi lovers r evil or something), or certain ships, or WHATEVER, does not mean that i HATE the people who are posting them or that i think they shouldnt post them at all, NO, im just posting about my personal tastes on my personal blog and it would be extremely weird and hypocritical if i decided that i was the ONLY person that was allowed to do that,,

i think the only reason people assume that is because there are a lot of other people on here who ARE like that, and a lot of people toe the line between posting that they dont like something and posting that they think everyone who likes that thing is stupid, annoying, and wrong,, so i guess all i can say is, sorry for whatever made you make these assumptions but they arent true about me so plz leave me alone ʘ‿ʘ ur doing the same thing to me that ur accusing me of but i didnt do it in the first place so ur just actively being a dick for no reason

This sounds like a weird question, but do u have any Mk angst hcs?

I hc she has gifted child burnout and that her dad passed when she was in middle school (he was a cop)

....you rlly shouldnt have asked anon.....

i like psychoanalizing characters for breakfast if you couldnt tell already (CRINGE BELOW!!!!! WEEWOOWEEWOO!!! IM TAKING CHARACTERS THAT ARE MEANT TO BE FUNNY AND ANALIZING THEM TO THEIR VERY CORE!!!)

MK ANGST HEADCANONS!!

☆ mk is autistic, and struggles with her social life, so that's why she doesn't have any friends and downright hated the idea of having them. She had slowly developed a more antisocial personality prior to the show, and hence why her lines in s1 have a bit of an awkard delivery to them. (they sounded awkward to me alr!!!)

☆ i also believe she is a case of gifted kid burnout!!!she was oh so smart back in primary and middle school, always praised by the teachers for her performance and whatnot.

when she got to highschool she suddenly felt overwhelmed by it all, every task was suddenly too much and studying was a horrifying experience, as she didn't really need to study before.

i believe as some gifted children do, they base their value on their academic performance as thats all the adults can really seem to compliment them in. so when she starts failing she suddenly started to hate herself more– as if she was slowly losing her worth and therefore isn't worthy of love (idk if its true for all gifted kids but i can say its true from my experience)

☆ hates expressing emotion due to emotional neglect from the world around her. she was never acknowledged emotionally and therefore she started to not care either. (in canon not in my au)

☆ "i always get underestimated!" her way to cope with the fact that she's always a second thought on someone else's mind– she resorts to stealing as her way to express in her rebellious teenage mind that she wants to be noticed by someone. to actually be cared about in someone elses mind

☆ she actually doesnt know julia likes her but in a neurodivergent kinda way– she understands to a surface level teenager stuff as she has been observing her classmates play and talk with each other in solitude, but hasn't experienced it firsthand. so when she tells julia if she likes her and julia gets all flustered, she can't genuinely tell what's going on.

☆ emotionally-repressed-gifted-burnout-autistic-llesbian mk my beloved !!! :333

Can we get some more hcs for the post anon and you made about Soda and Curly being brought together but also pushed away by them helping pony (I hope you know what I'm talking about idk how to explain it 😭)

YEA I DO NO WORRIES I GOT THIS

•OK SO, to b clear, mainly what i mean by “brought together but also pushed away from each other bc of their relationship w pony” i mean that they both agree that pony needs help or something like that, they can just never agree on how

•to add on, they both have parts of their character that they can relate to when it comes to each other, theyre both middle children who r pretty much glossed over in the public eye and arent seen as 3 dimensional as their siblings and they COULD form a friendship generally speaking from that, but how they interact w pony throws each other way tf off (hope this made sense)

•when pony gets hurt, curly and soda kinda act the same way, for example, both go to their older brothers for help

•but the thing is, the other feels like the others brother wont help, curly feels like darry wont do jack shit and just lets it continue, soda feels like tim would just make things worse for pony bc that would make him a target

•they both quite literally have the equivalent of spidey senses when it comes to pony being in trouble

•idk how to summarize this one, but curly feels like soda babys pony way too much and soda feels like curly makes pony grow up too fast

•if pony rolls up to one of em w something he got from the other, they both have the same reaction and its like “why did he give u that, u shouldnt have that, get rid of it”, they KNOW the other is trying to help (at least to some degree) but honestly they see them as more of a nuisance

•ngl part of the reason y they dont agree on how to take care of pony is prolly bc they dont realize that pony acts like differently w em, or if they did, they feel like how pony acts around them is the “true” pony

•they wont say it but they do commend each other for fighting for pony or at least trying to protect pony, once soda patched curly up after fighting to protect pony, thats like the nicest they ever were to each other

•they both look out for pony during a rumble, chances r they wouldve tag teamed that soc that kicked pony in the head if curly was there, never wouldve brought it up that they did that ever again tho

•if they were in like a place where they gotta stay on high alert, they’d both agree that pony should stay behind them in case anything popped up, but they r lowkey just pushing pony to them, its lowkey a game of tug of war
