Embodying the rebel spirit for inner revolution

Questioning the struggles of conformity versus the call of one's true self, urging a reflection on rebellion as a path to authenticity and personal growth.

I was told recently that I should check myself for having a rebellious spirit. Why go against the grain when the path laid out for me made it easy to just fall in line, get mine, then die? In fact, I tried this for a few years… to do the thing that I was told: to fall in line, get mine, then die. But each time I tried, I was the one dying inside. It was like the light of my soul was being…

Sleepless night with Ellie

-> modern au, no smut. just an idea that popped up in my head. tw ? ->mentions of weed( do i need to put a tw for that? idk ill just play it safe LOL)

->pls ignore any grammer mistakes i made :') im trying to improv my writting !

It was another one if those nights where you couldn't sleep no matter how much you toss and turn in your bed. It wasn't anything new for you tho, you had already been having some trouble sleeping in the past but tonight was diffrent. You didn't even feel tired.

Annoyed, you decided to get up and go make yourself a nice cold and refreshing drink. It was about 2am and Ellie was already fast asleep. Slowly and queitly you made your way to the kitchen.

You made -> drink of your choice<-

The rest of the night was peacful. Even tho you hated the fact that you can't sleep, you couldn't help but enjoy the peacful night.

You were sitting in the living room enjoying the peacful night when suddenly, you heard Ellie coming out of the bedroom. She looked at you a bit shocked that you were awake at this hour.

"whachu doing up this late?"

Ellie asked with her raspy voice as she rubbed her eyes to wear the sleepeness off a bit. Her hair was a mess as she tried to tie it up.

"just can't sleep.. did i wake you up?"

Ellie smiled at you as she took a seat on the couch next to you. "no, don't worry about it..."

she trailed off for a second. "... maybe i could help you fall asleep?"

Ellie said with a somewhat of a smirk on her face. You knew what she meant, and trith to be told you were up for it. Weed did help you relax sometimes so you took your chances.

You nod your head as Ellie went back to the bedroom. After a minut or so she came back with a little bag and some rolling paper.

She alwalys had weed on her.

You opend the window since you didn't want your whole apartmant to smell like weed.

Ellie skillfully rolled a joint for you and herself. She passed one to you and you lit it up the passing the lighter to her.

For a second you two sat in silence as you both smoked. Ellie would keep staring st you with a soft smile plastered across her face. She seemd proud of herself. You couldn't help but smile back.

after more and more puffs and two more joints Ellie looked at you with those pretty eyes of hers

"you enjoying yourself, huh?"

Laughing a little you tilt your head back as you inhale some smoke, holding it in for a couple of seconds and then exhaling it.

"yeaa..."

You trail off as you look at Ellie with half lidded eyes and ask her in a low vocie.

"how 'bout you?"

Ellie admired you for a second as she nodded her head letting you know she was having a great time.

Finally, you both got tired. Especially you..

Ellie noticed how your eye lids grew heavy as you open them quickly everytime you close them. She went into the bedroom and got some blankets.

She made sure you were comfortable and layed you down on the couch as she coverd you up with the blanket.

You thanked her as she layed next to you and hugged you close to her. Your breathing was slowing down and your heartbeat matched Ellies.

Cuddled up you both fell asleep on the couch.

Ok so initially I was ready to jump directly down Fuma’s throat but on second thought… like she told her friends she was with him? Fuma just mentioning they had something to his inner circle would be similar and maybe not innately disrespectful. The problem MIGHT be that one of Fuma’s inner circle is a raging douche nozzle…

NOT THE SUBTLE REVEAL THAT HOON UNDERSTOOD JAPANESE I AM SCREAMING WILL SHE CATCH IT I AM SHAKING OMG—

I wonder if Hoon beat any of them up 👀 or will 👀 because like 👀 it’s happened before…

(Still dying for that to come out by the way)

RIP Fuma and/or Fuma’s worthless friends 💀

Like Riki was alllllll the way out of line but…….. something tells me Hoon is on his way with some comfort distraction sex even as we speak…

I’m salty at Riki. I mean he’s only human and there has been a lot going on lately so mistakes might happen and he recognized he was wrong pretty quickly and honestly still good for him defending his sister like that. Though I am so curious about why those boys were targeting Riki? Like were they jealous? Do they have something against Snowflake?

Honestly this was a rough chapter (emotionally 💀) but it definitely advanced the HoonFlake agenda because nothing is going to soften Snowflake like someone taking care of her brother…

About the new female character. I def voted in favor of adding her 🫣 but I hope Hoon doesn’t catch feelings or sample the goods. I just think jelly Snowflake would be a fun dynamic…

HoonFlake is my OTP 4eva.

This chapter left me REELING.

THERE WE GO FINALLY SOMEONE WHO HASNT LOST HOPES IN FUMA 🤕YOURE VERY CLOSE TO THW TRITH BUT I GOTTA STFU OR IMMA SPOIL BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR BIG BRAIN MOMENT BABY ILYSM 🤭🤭🤭

let's say, hoon heard and understood a LOT more than riki thinks and he's definitely not gonna let them get away with much........🤪

he's not yet on his way but he will be, give him time bc he has yet to accept that he genuinely feels bad for her and not for riki 😭

HOONFLAKE IS SUCH A CUTE NICKNAME I LOVE IT SM FKENFOEMLF AND YES YES !!!! you guys know me, it usually gakes a LOT of pain for them to get forward in zadie smaus so fingers crossed we're one step closer 🤭🤭🤞🏼💗

thank you so much for this baby, i love and appreciate you with my whole heart 🥺🤍

[ cha eunwoo | he/him, they/them ] Another face is seeking safety in New Orleans. Make sure to welcome KIRO KEVIN HWANG to the home of the resilient. Rumor has it that they are an 22 year old FOX (UNTRIGGERED) , who is one of the SURVIVORS but we’ll keep that a secret. They are said to be OBSTINATE, but that’s all a façade to cover up their STEADFAST  nature. We’ve heard that they can be found listening to PLAY DICE by HAKOS BEIZS, which sums them up pretty well. Let’s hope that they can find a way to survive this harsh new world.

Kevin is an adoptee from korea and canada, he never knew his parents or siblings. He was forunate though to find a home in new orleans

but all that glitters isnt gold as the family was distant, the only solice was the adventures of tintin. since then he wanted to be a dectetive

He had new friends too in the forms of niko and jesse

But when both died for a time he felt lost going deep into weird creatures

werewolves, vampires, all that....it was hard to decipher the trith. grief makes it hard to believe

mothman, bigfoot, and the loch ness monster seemed like the real enemies and easier to digest

Kevin did become a traffic cop, his first encounter with Choi Taejin, a man he thought was pretty cool. A fellow Korean who takes no shit

There was surprise when TJ was demoted to mall cop, and he was promted upwards

The conseuqnces though were very high, as he was assigned to be patrol on the full moon. he was attacked, a set of teeth and awakened in the hospital

It was countless hours, surgeries, and medication for nights straight, he couldn't give a a concrete answer

Now in a wheelchair, he was back in action, but he still feels something weird happened to him.

Personality:

Very chill guy, tends not to express his problems. toxic positivity for leg mauling

Feeling a bit paranoid and exhausted, but will do his best to be there with others.

Might be a bit girl crazy and tech savy.

Secretly pretty smart but doesnt show it.

[castlebyersafterdark]

your comments about acting intimacy are so interesting. unrealistic porn is so different because its very staged and all about the performance and good angles, not about connection or intimacy, and so for the actors, those things won't be present either.

but in dramatic acting (or anything non porn) then the aim IS to create this connection thats believable, and actors will often say that if there is no natural chemistry (meaning genuinely getting lost in what the character is feeling), then it must be summoned - which means you bring or find the connection, and hopefully still a real one. if that fails, you have to fake it, and at this point the whole film is probably a dud, let alone the intimate scenes. just like any well-acted scene, the actors are going to get a little blurring of the lines, because they would aim to get lost in character. of course you can see how this becomes trickier to speak about in press etc as an actor when it comes to sexual scenes rather than, for example, a rollercoaster or biking down a hill, for which there is no shame or implication (or even nasty legal repercussions) in the enjoyment of.

but if you look at the way some actors have spoken about filming sex or intimacy, they can be quite honest, and much more often with european filmmakers actually. i think of the open and truthful environment luca guadagnino created for call me by your name, where the actors clearly had some sort of love affair, emotional most likely, and also admitted to becoming besotted. you even have the guy from its always sunny in philadelphia admitting to enjoying the kiss with his costar on a US chat show, in front of said costar (who also enjoyed it apparently!) and her husband, who is also an actor and writer for that show lol!

so it takes this trust and intimacy within the film cast and crew to get there. you said it's bodies on bodies at the end of the day, which is true, but think of how sometimes even in your own privacy as a non-actor there are mental blocks that can stop sexual enjoyment happening frustratingly. so on set, i would imagine that even with a costar you were attracted to, it might even be harder, because there would be the sense of not wanting to be discovered in a moment that you secretly want to enjoy. (which lends itself nicely to your fantasy trope of a showmance occuring behind the scenes...)

and lastly, 'being professional' tends to refer to how the actors treat and judge each other in these extremely vulnerable moments rather than saying they aren't enjoying a scene - many might well do! it's just whether or not you as the viewing public would ever discover the trith of that. being professional usually refers instead to how you respect your costar if they get an accidental boner (rather common actually - and as you said, the mind knows its acting, but the body doesnt), and how you acknowledge their acting choices because they are performing intimacy as their character, not themselves. this divide allows for trust and freedom on set, when you feel comfortable enough to get vulnerable and try new creative things as an actor, and i think most 'shameful' or 'negative' emotions (despair, crying, etc) would require the same level of trust and safety for actors to really let loose and Go There.

i have acted before and the thrill of getting lost in a scene with a partner is like nothing else - to become another person momentarily is drug-like, and sometimes you actually black out and come to after a scene and can't remember what happened (you can see why trust and safety is paramount!). i will say though, that actors are a certain kind of person, the worst aspect of them being a need for attention, which is very human, but when it's an intense need, it can lead to an atypical life: being an actor! it's a very unusual life, very up and down, very vulnerable, and it can create greatness and also destroy. actors are strange wonderful folk.

and with byler, who are the elephant in the room of this post lol, because they began young, its a different kettle of fish and i would say unprecedented actually. the only likeness to ST is harry potter, and as we know, that never became sexual or featured such overt sexual themes. noah was a trained actor but has not trained as an adult actor as far as i know, but i think he is wonderfully left-field and Up For Anything, with a real dedication to acting itself. As for finn, he wanted to be behind the camera, and ended up in front of it on the way there, so i think his approach is a little less sure of himself, and he said as much in that hot wings interview where he wishes he could have some of that childish confidence back from the early seasons. Let's hope the duffers create a trusting and safe environment so they can let loose. I'm sure that knowing each other so well will either 1) make it too awkward to get right or 2) make it super easy, natural and safe. I reckon the latter, because the chemistry so far has always been fantastic and i think they will just go for it.

But personally, my pipedream is seeing them both star in some kind of european or alternative title, something very dramatic and bold, maybe a period piece, with a director like guadagnino who truly understands sensuality and how to foster trust on a film set, and pulls fantastically erotic performances out of all his stars.

This is all so interesting and expands on a lot of things I wish I articulated better! Super insightful. While I'm heavily interesting in the 'technical' aspects of film-making, the cerebral, emotion-driven acting part eludes me. It's never been in my real knowledge base. Never acted and I never felt the drive to pursue it, but have been involved in other parts. There's so much to consider with performing - I didn't want to make total assumptions on how the process works and how actors really feel about this portion of filming, but that's so interesting about how some might really get so deep into the performance/portrayal that you kind of become that character for scenes, etc. Which I guess leads into the method acting style, which is quite a bit more extreme, but I'm sure on a micro-method level that's how a lot of acting happens. Very interesting.

Heavily agree with your point at the end there. It would be really intriguing to see either Finn or Noah involved in a much more niche and lesser scale film, able to tap into emotions and acting scenarios way beyond the mega-blockbuster wide-audience appeal of a netflix powerhouse. I think under the right direction they could make something really beautiful and engaging. Especially since you can already see what they bring to ST is on a bit of an elevated level as needed for the particular roles they are portraying. Much to think about....

Reblogging my own post again because I have more fun hooks to add.

So going with this Ballet Chloé actually gives a better way to address classism and privilege than we got, too. It even has the twisty-aha moments the show is fond of. Let me break down the layers, which could be episodes or slot into a b-plot of some episodes.l, in roughly sequential order.

1)André buys/intimidates Chloé's victories in competitions. Chloé actually *doesn't* know this. She's still an arrogant and bullying butt about things though. Marinette&co. Work to expose the cheating! Chloé is humiliated! She is forced to confront the trith

Get your haha moment.

2)Thing is she's *pissed* at her daddy over this. She insists she's good and could win/excell anyway! Of course no one will believe that. Teist- no she is good, and she does win her next competition, no cheating. Marinette is forced to face the fact that this horrible person can still actually be skilled at something. Learning moment!

3)Chloé is being mean to another dancer, grab Aurore for this? It would be a fun reuse for her character to have her come from dance too.(Common track for entertainers) Marinette and Co. come to Aurore's defense. They point out Chloé's demands and expectations are insane! Chloé has so many advantages! Not everyone has the money for the best equipment, private lessons, parents(or servants) who can chauffer them around to lessons, a nutritionist, and more. Sure Chloé works but she has so many advantages from the beginning that shouldn't be ignored. It's not about dragging her down, the good kids point out, it's about recognizing how your privileges have helped you and that others might not have them.

4)Via Audrey's introduction Marinette gets a bit of a glimpse into Chloé's life and- oh- sees how the ridiculous demands and Chloé's over the top behavior are just her *way of life*.

Kids rolled their eyes when Chloé brought out the gram scale to measure her portions. They smirked when she had an absolute meltdown over a new outfit not being ready for an exhibition. Her anger and demands arel legendary. But to her that 's just *life*. One parent who wants a shiny gold trophy daughter to reflect his own prestige as the 'Symbol of Paris' and the other who demands perfection just to get a moment's attention.

Marinette gets to see her nemesis break down over being .1KG overweight because it absolutely means her mother won't even meet with her on this visit. Marinette gets to appreciate her own privilege, parents who support and lover her unconditionally. A loving family environment that allowed her to grow at her own pace and in her own ways. She was watered regularly in fertile ground while Chloé was pruned and cut into a pleasing shape.

We see privilege comes in all forms.

5)???

None of this solves the issues between them. Understanding can help and there's plenty of directions to go with, but it isn't an instant fix. What we have done though is provide our child audience with several progressively more complex situations to teach and expand upon the themes. We've hopefully taught them to look deeper.

Isn't that what kids shows are for?

You know, Chloé honestly shouldn't be the way she is in the show, even with André and Audrey. Why?

Ballet.

Specifically the kind of extremely expensive top tier ballet she would be thrust into. As of Frightingale she had 8yrs of ballet. That's starting at 5-6, latest.

No high class ballet teacher will take anything from a 5-6yr old. No mayor will intimidate them. They will boot anyone they feel is slacking. Making it this long Chloé could be a bully, she could be vicious, she could be mean, but she *should* be driven, and disciplined. She should value physical precision and poise. Picking on Marinette for being clumsy flows perfectly from that, but only if we see her comparing herself favorably.

In the absence of a strong parental figure, that teacher should be an integral part of her life.

We got none of that though, because 'lol spoiled rich girl' and the story writing isn't as deliberate as they claim. The '8yrs of dance' was a throw away line made up for one episode without thought.

Going beyond her character, this helps explain a lot of the other ??? Moments and lose ends too.

KRS-ONE Disclosure - 30 Minutes of Truth Pioneering The Flow of Entertainment (BBU ENTERPRISE, 3/18/16) [h/t]

[warrioreowynofrohan]

Today in Tolkien - March 16th

The last ten days of Frodo and Sam’s journey tend to blur together for me into “Frodo and Sam walk across Mordor,” so hopefully this post series will be a chance for me to develop a clearer picture of things. In particular, I want to get a better sense of how Aragorn’s march against Mordor contributes to Frodo and Sam’s journey, and the relative locations of both groups at different times.

In Minas Trith, the chapter “The Last Debate,” takes place on the 16th, as Legolas and Gimli talk with Merry and Pippin and recount their journey by the Paths of the Dead, to Pelargir, and up the river, and the commanders (advised by Gandalf) decide to throw their forces into a feint attack against Mordor to distract Sauron from the Ring-bearer. Present at the latter meeting are Gandalf, Aragorn, Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth (as the current regent for the rule of Minas Tirith, since Aragorn has not yet taken up the kingship), Éomer King of Rohan, and Elladan and Elrohir. (I hadn’t realized until now that the latter two were present. This is the closest we get to an open statement of the goal to convince Sauron that Aragorn has the Ring. Gandalf says:

“Sauron knows...that this precious thing which he has lost has been found again; but he does not yet know where it is, or so we hope. And therefore he is now in great doubt. For if we have found this thing, there are some among us with strength enough to wield it. That too he knows. For do I not guess rightly, Aragorn, that you have shown yourself to him in the Stone of Orthanc?”

“I did so ere I rode from the Hornburg,” answered Aragorn. “I deemed that the time was ripe, and that the Stone had come to me for just such a purpose. It was then ten days since the Ring-bearer went east from Rauros, and the Eye of Sauron, I thought, should be drawn out from his own land.”

Gandalf then adds:

“We could not learn how to wield the full power [of the Ring] all in a day. Indeed it can only be used by one master alone, not by many; and he will look for a time of strife, ere one of the great among us makes himself master and puts down the others...His doubt will be griwing, even as we speak here. His Eye is now straining towards us, blind to almost all that is moving. So we must keep it...We must call out his hidden strength, so that he shall empty his land.”

Aragorn agrees with this counsel, and it is the same as Elrond sends; Elrohir says: “From the North we came with this purpose, and from Elrond our father we brought this very council.”

Aragorn’s victories in South Gondor now become even more relevant, as the commanders consider the defence of Minas Tirith after they march out. Aragorn tells that he sent 4000 infantrymen marching north from Pelargir, with Angbor, Lord of Lamedor, leading a smaller cavalry force ahead of them; and that he told many others to follow him upriver by ship. So the commanders decide that they will set out on the morning of the 18th, once those South Gondorian reinforcements are at or near the city.

They plan to take an army of 7000 men - mostly infantry, because few horses will tolerate the evil lands around Mordor. Of these, 3500 will be men of Minas Tirith, 2000 will be men of South Gondor who came with Aragorn on the corsair ships, 1000 will be Rohirrim (500 cavalry and 500 infantry), and another 500 will be cavalry including the Dúnedain, Ellandin, Elrohir, and the knights of Dol Amroth, among others. Imrahil is right when he says that is is a laughably small force for attacking Mordor - it’s smaller than the army Saruman sent against Helm’s Deep!

Another 3000 Rohirrim cavalry led by Elfhelm will attack the Mordor army that is holding the road through Anórien towards Rohan.

So now we have the battle plan.

Returning to Frodo and Sam, we see the other side of the military conflict. In the morning they at last reach the eastern edge of the Morgai, the foothills of the mountains of Mordor. They look across the plains to Mount Doom, 40 miles or more away, and the plains are packed with the encamped armies of Mordor, both directly in front of them and away southwards as far as they can see. Frodo and Sam are right above one of the largest camps (if you look at the close-up map at the start of ROTK, it’s marked ‘Camp’, showing that Frodo and Sam have already gone a good ways north from Cirith Ungol).

At the moment, though Sauron is indeed focused on Aragorn, his moves have also made the situation quite hopeless for Frodo and Sam:

The Dark Power was deep in thought, and the Eye turned inward, pondering tidings of doubt and danger: a bright sword, and a stern and kingly face it saw, and for a while it gave little thought to other things...

Here the Dark Power, moving its armies like pieces on the board, was gathering them together. Its first moves, the first feelers of its strength, had been checked upon the western line, southward and northward. For the moment it withdrew them, and brought up new forces, massing them about Cirith Gorgor [the Black Gate] for an avenging stroke. And if it had also been its purpose to defend the Mountain against all approach, it could scarcely have done more.

In the absence of any other feasible options, Frodo and Sam decide to continue north for the moment, though Sam rationally sees little point in that: “Where it’s narrower the Orcs and Men will just be packed closer.” Going north doesn’t get them any closer to Mount Doom; rather the opposite.

They hide from an orc-patrol looking for them, one of whom kills the other and runs off. The orc mention having seen Gollum, poking around an orc-mail shirt that Frodo left behind the previous day because he found it too heavy; and Sam recounts the events of Cirith Ungol for Frodo. They rest for the remainder of the day and walk during much of the night.

It was difficult and dangerous moving in the night in the pathless land; but slowly and with much stumbling the two hobbits toiled on hour by hour northward along the eastern edge of the stony valley.

[la-sopa]

i have such a long list and I’m dropping the most of it under the cut (this is the prefect way to avoid finals week studying).!!!

Breaking and entering - blasteratyourside ( While working late, Ferus catches a local blue-haired kid trying to break in to the office of Olin/Lands.)

To Home, to Him- blasteratyourside (It's been over a month since the last time they'd touched, seventeen days since they'd even been in the same system, a full day since their last comm call. Twelve hours since Roan was released from medical to board the transport to Bellassa, to home, to him.)

The Tannoban Mission- TheLadyOfShalott (Finding themselves stranded on a mercy mission to Tannoban Ferus Olin meets up with Jedi from his past. Ferus, Roan and the Jedi race to rescue senator Organa and escape the besieged system.)

To Have Without Holding- lieslwritesthings (A certain uninvited guest arrives on Bellassa during the wedding of Ferus Olin and Roan Lands. )

Olin/Lands collection- windfallswest (this is a folder (?) idk what it’s called but it’s a 10 fic story of Roan and Ferus falling in love +Desi (I think) Roan lands!)

Honestly the whole Roan Lands/ Ferus Olin tag is a holy land 10/10 bless the writers

Road of the Lucky- miyji-08 (Ferus is very confused. He was helping some rebel pilots escape Rithax. Then he was running for his life. Then he was captured, but apparently not kidnapped. Treated by the very people who attacked the temple and tried to mass murder the jedi. And then he was drugged and captured by pirates, and now he’s here.)

Where All is Buried - miyji_08 (When Order 66 fires early and the galaxy falls apart, Quinlan's entire world gets turned upside down. So, naturally, he opens a day spa.)

Lugubrious- Gore_Hound (All he sees and feels is darkness, and vaguely he knows, is aware of the flat surface he’s laying on top of. But there is something else there, something here, something amiss that Ferus can’t quite grasp.)

Joy ride- silvercyclops (“Come on Ferus,” Darra says, tugging on his wrist. “They have fathier rides!” She and Tru bounded through the fair they had been assigned to on the planet Trith, but Ferus, as always, has his reservations.(. This made me ugly cry))

Freedom and Friends- Everything_or_Anything, LadyAshlaLordBogen (Anakin has been at the Temple for a week. He doesn't understand anyone)(I know it seems Anakin based (and it is) but Ferus is a absolute sweetheart)

heartlines- Blackkat (When he rejoins the Order in the middle of the Clone Wars, all Ferus wants is to help as many people as possible. An emergency mission lands him in control of the 501st before he even has time to catch his balance, though, and the disappearance of the Chancellor means there's no time to waste. The galaxy's Deep Core is a treacherous maze of deadly planets and old traps, and fighting their way through is the sort of thing that would push Ferus to his limits, even without a squad of clones to protect at the same time.)

our caches and constellations - jonanneb (Eleven years ago, the Jedi order got wind of the closing pincers of a Sith trap and scattered to the remote corners of the galaxy. Ten years ago, millions of clone commanders and troopers were introduced as the Republic’s new Army, made for fighting a war alongside people the galaxy seemed to be forgetting ever existed. Nine months ago, Commander Cody decided he was no longer going to risk his men's lives for the whims of clueless generals. Now, his decision to save a boy and a man in the desert, and the plan he comes up with to get away with it, will change the galaxy.)

Human Pleasure Droid - Phoenixyfriend ( the title is miss leading but the story is written so comically it makes me giggle)

for every Bird a Nest - blackkat (Fordo sends his little brother out for canning jars, and Fox comes back with the queen of Naboo.)

roses rooted in your heart - blackkat (“I think,” Stone says warily, “that as much as I appreciate your faith in us, this might have been a miscalculation.”) (pt. 2 rose bloomed out beneath the thorn)

love me lights out - blackkat (“I have to say,” the pirate says, “this is the most interesting sort of situation I've found you in.”)(this one is very sweat and funny

as evening dropped to earth - blackkat (Even in the middle of a war zone, holding a lightsaber feels like something forbidden.)

a rose bloomed out beneath the thorn - blackkat (This, Fox thinks despairingly, is one of those times he really wishes the Guard had a Jedi of their own.) (pt.1 of roses rooted in your heart)

how to be a heartbreaker - blackkat ( Ferus's items keep showing up in the Coruscant Guard Lost & Found, and Fox gets suspicious, thinking it's some kind of a conspiracy (it is, but it's the other Guard commanders conspiring to set Fox and Ferus up)

lover be good to me - blackkat (“Why don’t you come down here and let me say thank you face to face?” Ferus, tucked back in the rafters, goes perfectly, breathlessly still as a light sweeps right in front of him. Fox isn't directly below him, but he’s closer than Ferus would like, and he’s already proved that he’s better at spotting Ferus than anyone but a Jedi would be. “To thank me or to arrest me?” Ferus asks.)

midas would be kinder - loosingletters (Ferus didn’t know much about his soulmate, but what he knew was enough to ensure that he didn’t ever want to meet them. )

Drunken Lullabies - Siri_kenobi12 ( it’s pretty much a jedi holiday special )

the blue skies of the Force - fireworkrainouts (Things go differently in the Chancellor's office, leaving a heartbroken Anakin, a galaxy in chaos and the Jedi destroyed....but maybe it's still possible to find the light?)

on the front lines and everyone's watching - Solaless (During the clone wars, Ferus and Roan take a mission to assist a Jedi General and defeat a Separatist cyberweapon. When things go wrong, Ferus must save Roan, destroy the cyberweapon, and confront the Jedi teachings that he thought he'd left behind forever.)

Lifeblood - Dinbird (He can’t breathe. He can’t breathe, but he does it anyway, because he’s alive and he has to go on living, and he needs her, and he has to tell her.) ( emerald at your own risk, this made me cry myself to sleep.)

I think I’m missing a lot but these are all really good.

Okay so does anyone want to be given some Ferus Olin recommendations on ao3? Because I have some good ones.

so, I decided to finally finish writing that piece from a really fucked up dream I had. this probably doesn`t cover a quarter of it, but I enjoyed it, and its the first solid writing piece I`ve had in 2 years, so I`m proud.

summary: you follow Trith (not mentioned in the story) on her first round to meet some of the residents within this particular realm of purgatory. Because, frankly, who else can?

My eyes open to a hollow ceiling, peering right into an attic where a familiar rocking hair rocks away. Not a care in the world about how it's up there. That would be Granny Gin. Don't know her real name, but still. She's there. Dead as ever, and knitting away. Sometimes I sleep in long enough that her scarf reaches the floor.

Standing up, groggy, I make my way to do my rounds. Someone's got to make sure the dead don't panic. The first round doesn't have to be me all dressed up. Not like they care about the smell. At least I don't think they do. Can the dead smell? I don't know. At Kirby's request, I started keeping a journal so he can remember what last happened and get one step closer to getting out of here. I also want to help everyone else out of purgatory, so this is why I'm writing this. Brand spanking new. Right up on a blank page. Yep.

So, I guess my next ghastly figure is Heidi. She stands in the bathroom all day. Touching up her makeup, not changing a thing. Aside from the usual changes extended stays can cause. I think she starved to death. Couldn't tell you. She's standing there, takes a glance at me in the mirror, nods, then tries another colour of lipstick. She's been here a while, so that means three eyes, each one a distinct colour of red, blue or yellow. She also has glowing skin, and her legs are becoming more horse like. Maybe her puzzle would be solved by getting her life a little STABLE. Hah. Get it? Why would I write down my laugh?

Whatever, I'm not going to erase anything or cross it out. The thoughts of the living might help, even abstractly.

The next is the hallway. Bert walks along, holding a gas can thing. Y'know, an old timey thing they used to gas bugs? I'm not sure, I can't recall ever needing an exterminator.

He tips his hat to mean, "hey there, lil' lady. Didn't the landlord tell ya to keep out of the building for the next day or so? Don't worry. I'll wait to do my work until you get out. I'll just let 'im know I'll be a bit late starting."

I nod, "thank you." Sometimes it's easier to play along. I feel he's been a tad testy, so I try not to agitate him. Usually I can pass by just fine. Maybe he had anger issues. Try and work his puzzle out like that. Ironically, he resembles a cockroach by now. He doesn't have hands, but the rigid limbs that should have been his hands were made of a hardened skin. It chipped away from his bones like it knew it wasn't supposed to look like that. I rarely look him in the face, both because he looks… interesting, but also because it tends to aggravate him. Maybe it's the way I look at him. He's yelled at me for being a large bug before, not always a roach. I just don't want to get hit again. Maybe I shouldn't help him.

Next up, Theodore and Teddy. They have the same name, and they yell at each other from across the hall. They each have their own rooms. Sometimes they switch rooms. They seem to be connected at this point, literally. They have long strings of flesh swinging from between their bodies. At one point, they got cut, and you see everything pouring out. They acknowledge it in their recent arguments, getting mad at the other for not making enough of an effort to keep it all in. Theodore usually doesn't have a jaw anymore, since it melted down, combined with his clothes. I can't check on Mindy anymore thanks to them. I don't think I want to.

However, I think the problem revolves around they're communication. But that's an obvious point. Maybe they need to accept their own responsibility for their misfortunes.

Mindy… last time I saw her, she had dolls connecting to her through thousands of strands of veins, and nerves, and all other sorts of things. They aren't all made of plastic anymore, last time I saw her.

Theodore says to me, as if his chin wasn't sitting where his stomach would be, "hello dear. How are you today?"

"I'm doing well. Thank you. How are you and Teddy today?"

Teddy snorts from the other room, dusting off an old hat, and placing it on his head, "I'm fine. Perfectly."

Theodore rolled his eyes, "we're as well as ever. Just a lovers' quarrel."

Teddy got offended, ripping the hat off, "oh, NOW we're lovers?"

I nod, and quickly leave before they start trying to pull their guts to their respective sides, and spitting insults. It never ends well.

Next up, Patty and Simone, standing on the stairs. They are actually quite friendly with each other. Patty asking Simone about her husband, Simone asking how Patty's been, after her being widowed and all. They swap recipes regularly. Patty very much seems like she killed her husband. And some of the recipes they swap sound as if Simone is trying to kill her husband. If what she says is true, he deserves it. God do I hope it's not.

Simone has morphed into the railing at this point, spine jutting from bloodless flesh so she can lean on the staircase. I feel the one they used to talk at was a lot lower, considering Simone is almost nine feet in the air. Patty, however, seems to be turning to a bone statue. Her legs can no longer move, not that she moved much to begin with. Wait, no, this time she seems to be turning to ice. Her legs are quite transparent, but there's a layer of frost surrounding her feet. They never used to acknowledge me, but Simone seems to have spread to the stairs, and she'll scold me for walking too roughly. Patty gives me the most judgmental look. I think if they could move on from husband's they'd probably be home free. But that is what their lives revolved around for so long, so I'm not sure that could be easy.

Once I sneak down the stairs without slipping, or getting yelled at, it's into the kitchen I go. Sid is at the fridge constantly stuffing his face. Somehow, he's a part of the fridge. Everything drops out of his stomach back into the fridge, into a pile of slop. Like something a pig would eat. If he's particularly frantic, he'll tear chunks out of himself. I don't think they can feel it when they hurt themselves. Not unless they're supposed to…

I have no clues as to how Sid can save his puzzle. He doesn't tend to talk. I'm not sure he has vocal cords anymore. He barely has eyes.

Moving from the kitchen is the parlor. I'm not sure how this place works, so I'm not sure this is in the right place. Either way, the parlor has about seven people in here. Kirby plays checkers with Daniel, Maud watches TV with Lainey, Paula and Shess pick on Lily. 

Paula and Shess would probably be gone if they could stop, and just sincerely apologize. I'm not sure Lily is really a person though, because she's never changed once. I think she kind of looks like a mannequin, but moving. She's meant to play a part, being small, and easy to pick on. Shess shattered her arms at one point, and now just has gooey, bloody stumps with bone shards sticking out that she uses to punch lily with, and her head is being engulfed by her own skin, but her eyes seemed to have multiplied, hair having started to attach and grow off of the eyes. Like the world's grossest ice-cream cone. Paula, on the other hand, started turning into blades. Her fingernails are long and sharp, her arms have started to thin at the edges, and splinter into more blades, even her nose resembles a knife. I passed her once, her hair brushed my cheek, and I had a long cut from my temple to my chin. That wasn't fun. I can't talk to either of them. They're always caught up in bloodlust.

Lainey and Maud try to ignore Shess and Paula as much as possible. They are actually aware of their surroundings. I don't think they need my help out, because they've been fading lately, so maybe they're ready to pass on. They generally talk about the movie they're watching. Sometimes they get new snacks from an unknown source. Usually they just coo at each other about how much they love each other, and what signs to look for to find each other again. They told me that Purgatory allows you the chance to return to when you died, the chance to fade completely, or to join the better place in whatever you believed in. Purgatory is for learning lessons. They both believe in reincarnation, and fully believe they'll still love each other, no matter the timeline. It's one of the nicer conversations.

Daniel and Kirby are next up. Daniel has no idea what's going on ever. His skin seems to be made from webs, and these small black creatures weave over him all the time, anytime something starts breaking down. Which happens at every move.  Daniel seems actually peaceful here. Maybe he needs to take a stand. Especially with Kirby always cheating. He doesn't even do it subtly, he straight up takes pieces, and places them where they shouldn't be. Daniel would probably tear all his 'skin' off at this point if he tried to do something.

Kirby, however, seems to increasingly be made of greasy Hawaiian print shirts. Yes, you are made of shirts. I almost slip when I pass your table because it's not, like, slightly caked on grease, it's literally dripping, and doesn't spread past a three foot radius. Maybe if you apologized for Dan, it would help. How's that sound?

Okay, three more rooms, then I start getting ready. So, I leave the other side of the parlor, head into the hall, and head to the basement. Shimi is down here. They're just a long, skinny eel at this point. With multiple heads that bite at Shimi's main body. I'm not even sure when Shimi showed up, and I've never seen much else, so I'm not sure they can leave. I don't try to go into the water. Too scared. It's undefinably deep. Some places you can see the ground, others are holes, others are so obfuscated by flesh that has yet to melt down and turn into water. I'm sure Shimi's been here for thousands of years.

Heading back upstairs, I check on the, what I can only assume, ballroom. It's huge, and usually has a few dancing couples. This room changes a lot, and has the least mutated people in it. I remember I helped one couple realize the intense emotion they couldn't move on from was rage, at the fact that they had cheated on each other. They both felt wronged, but they were both no better than each other. The puzzle they solved involved them no longer dancing together, and finding new partners. Today it stood completely empty. Not unusual, but still. The room always unnerves me.

Next up, I like to call the nook. It's not quite in the library, but it's very cozy right outside it.

A rough, sweet voice says, "what took you so long?"

I smile at Ronnie. She's very nice. I think she is, maybe was, actually my age when she died. We're both around seventeen. She however has skin made from literal porcelain, although that does mean when she moves too much, her body starts leaking blood, like from her eyes and joints . Her hair is nearly laid around her head, a warm auburn. And I don't mean that figuratively. It literally feels the way a room with plenty of blankets and a fireplace would feel like. The nook doesn't have a fireplace, it just has Ronnie.

She rasps out, "well, are we going to have a nap? You're my favourite snuggle buddy, and I can't have one without you."

I'm pretty sure she can't leave because she's trapped in her childhood. She's told me about all her dolls, and toys. I think her house might have burned down, and she wouldn't leave them behind. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get her to leave.

I give her a closed mouth smile, and step forward, "yeah, I can help you take a nap."

I wind up cuddling up to her. And, I think I won't write much until after I get ready. Too tired. Need to wake up more.

When I'm finally up, I look up to see the hollow attic. No floor at all. Grandmother Gin rocking away in her rocking chair, completely unaware of the lack of floor.im not sure if that's actually her name. Sometimes I get up so late that her blanket actually gets in my way trying to get up. At least I don't usually get dressed up to do my first round. I don't think the dead care about when the living stink. They don't seem to care about much. I do. Speaking of stink, I am doing this for my pal Kirby. Try to keep a record and write down everything that happens. Maybe I can help him, and some of the others, out of here. That's why I'm writing this. Right here. Blank page. Well, not blank anymore. But, hey, first page, first to go.

bring me the angst! bsd headcanons for atsu, aku, chuuya and dazai where their s/o slowly falls out of love

Atsushi:

○ It takes Atsushi a little while to realize what’s going on. At first he assumes you must be upset with him; he’s a fuck up, after all, so surely he did something wrong to upset you! At least, those are the sorts of thoughts running through his mind.

○ No matter what he seems to do, though, he can’t make it up to you. Dinners, gifts, massages, anything he can think of. He even goes to the rest of the ADA for advice on how to make things up to you, though he gets few suggestions and many sympathetic looks.

○ Finally he apologizes to you, nearly in tears as he begs you to forgive him. Things finally hit him when you’re so completely utterly confused about his apology. The more you assure him that he’s done nothing wrong the more his heart sinks.

○ Atsushi is in denial for a little while. He keeps insisting that he must have upset you somehow, that he can still make it better. Things improve little even when he does accept that you don’t love him anymore. He still blames himself for not doing enough, not being enough, to deserve to have you around.

○ Atsushi is perfectly happy, for far too long, to let you use him and to pretend everything is fine even when he knows it’s not. It’s up to you, in the end, to break things off because he’s too afraid of losing you.

Akutagawa:

○ Doesn’t see it coming. You’ve been together for so long Akutagawa took it for granted that he’d be spending the rest of his life with you. He never imagined either of you falling out of love, and perhaps that’s why it takes him so long to realize it when you do.

○ Akutagawa can tell that something is different, maybe a little off, but he doesn’t think too much of it. He figures that maybe you’ve had a bad week, or are feeling a little off. Either way, if you wanted to talk about it surely you’d come to him so he gives you your space.

○ It’s when things don’t get better and you only seem to be drifting further and further away from him that Akutagawa begins to worry. He sits you down to talk things over, finally. Seeing your chance you decide to break things off. They haven’t been working for awhile, in your opinion, and it’s better sooner than later.

○ What was obvious to you comes as a complete shock to Akutagawa. He freezes so completely you’re almost afraid for him, and he just gets up and leaves. He’s heartbroken, but he refuses to show you and avoids you like the plague while you’re moving out, and after the breakup. You’re not likely to hear much from him again.

○ Akutagawa put so much faith in the relationship, he takes the breakup hard. He very likely has a hard time trusting a new partner for a very long time, and ends up afraid that everyone he loves will end up getting sick of him and leaving - it’s not the first time it’s happened, after all.

Chuuya:

○ It starts with little things; less enthusiasm with his little surprises, less interest in dates. Chuuya notices, but doesn’t overthink it - like Akuagawa he assumes you’ve probably had a rough week or something along those lines, and are particularly worn out.

○ Unlike Akutagawa, though, he decides to do something about it. A nice surprise, or something along those lines. Unfortunately, he plans it right before you planned to break things off, and you feel too guilty to break up with him right after he’s treated you.

○ He sits you down to talk and you avoid the question until Chuuya gets frustrated. It’s when he ends up, in the heat of the moment and a fit of anger, asking if you even love him that he realizes that you don’t. Your silence tells him everything.

○ Chuuya ends up going out for the night to clear his head. He goes fro a drive and he’s gone so long you start to worry, but you don’t dare call him after the trith finally comes out.

○ Chuuya is heartbroken, but he’s an adult. Once he’s gotten some of his emotions out he comes back home and talks things over with you. You breakup, of course, and he even helps you find a new place. He’s civil with you, but distant, and you can tell he’s hurting.

Dazai:

○ Dazai knows from the beginning. He can see all the signs; the way you look at him changes, the way you react to his touch, the lack of interest you have in doing things together, the way you slowly stop taking care of him. He can see it all, and is left slowly watching as you let him go.

○ At first he tries to change your mind. Afraid to lose you after it took so much to let you in Dazai turns up the charm. Working to make you laugh, to spice up the relationship in any way he can; in and out of the bedroom. Anything to rekindle the spark.

○ He realizes quickly that it won’t work and stops trying altogether. It’s almost jarring for you, the way he goes from trying to sweep you of of your feet to barely even speaking to you. Once he realizes you’re letting him go and he can’t force you to hold on, he does the same.

○ But try as he might to let go you’ve tied yourself to his heart and he can’t undo the knots. It hurts to watch you move on, and Dazai can’t quite bring himself to suggest you break up. Instead he sort of fades away from you; starts ignoring you, drifting away, until either you break things off or it’s too obvious that they’re over and the two of you barely speak.

○ Dazai falls into a major depression after you’re gone. He overworks himself to give himself somthing to focus on, and he tries to replace you with women he find in bars, or wherever else, but nothing seems to fill the hole you left within him.

It's really hard to believe there is this much lying. Thats why the western public (I say public not the conplicit-ass politicians) was fooled for so long: The truth seems like a conspiracy. Why would they lie so much? Add to that the existence of real antisemitic conspiracy theories. So if ppl who didnt really know heard someone talking about propag'anda, they would think its one of those tripple brackets alt right jew haters. This is a powerful competing explanation that a novice may strugle to distinguish.

It was only when I saw the "Tantura" documentary where the historian talked about the effect that denying the Nakba & acting like the Palestinean villages didnt exist that I really understood.

They lie so much because it started with a lie. The first ones deceived was the own public when they told new settlers & refigees the land was empty or that the locals left willingly & peacefully.

And once you lie about something so big & have a propsganda aparatus to sustain that lie... what compunctions are you gonna have left? Youre used to lying, the lying machine is right there....its tempting to use

This is just not apparent to an outsider if they havent lived in Israel or studied the culture through books & documentaries.

Of course you can't generalize but most diasporic Jews you'll meet are *not* liars and all about remembering the past. You can see them turning out to protest en masse now just as they did when it was mexicans being slandered or mistreated. It's natural for westerners to assume Israel would be similar culturally and in some ways it may be

But Israelis have their own cultural background' influenced by the pas 70 years. Just like how USA and Australia habe their own off-shoot culture different from the British.

The thing is.... almost any country did some atrocities at some point right? But somethimg really toxic & truth eroding can happen when you deny them. If youre at odds with the trith it will cause further lies and even further atrocities.

So in a way this is a cautionary tale of what a toxic society ca

It should be a warning to the west where there are also those who would want to whitewash & deny the country's dark side - the situation in the USA where some people want to forbid teaching kids about racism for example.

Do that a few generations and you may get a toxic swamp where ppl *cheer* when police shoots an unarmed black guy.

Imagine calling footage recorded by hamas "zionist propaganda" you're going to make them sad that you don't believe them after they did all that hard work murdering civilians

hey anon, whats it like, knowing the public doesnt believe you, knowing that palestinians upload videos and testimonials of your crimes, knowing we all know you are liars. you hide behind an anon because you know you've lost.

pathetic. you're child murders. and everyone knows. the world sees. and the worst part is that you may fucking get away with it. but we will all remember. we all saw you.

it was never about hamas. you want their land for condos and oil. you dont think Arab people are human.

the world sees the idfs crimes.
