hopelessly charmed watching this exhausted man's fight against his unhinged little plus one result in his needing to lean on literally every available surface or otherwise bobblehead on his cot trying to stay awake. you're doing horribly, sweetheart 💕

Ok, so let me explain why rebloging posts like these do little to nothing to assure Jews that they’ll be safe around you.

Goyim reblogging this stuff don’t typically listen to Jews (which is apparent because we’ve said stuff like this doesn’t actually do anything to help us many times) about their experiences with antisemitism or listen when Jews try to educate them on things like antisemitic dog whistles or blood libel. Most of them are way more enthusiastic about punching Nazis than they are about showing any compassion to Jews. I’d venture to guess the majority of Jewish people know that often the goyim who reblog this stuff are just out for blood and don’t give a damn about us, because we’ve seen this many times. Not to mention that the desire for a violent revolution that some leftists seem to have has led to Jewish people facing a lot of antisemitism (at their hands). I would bet that some of the people reblogging this act similar to Nazis themselves. I know at the very least the goyim rebloging this don’t listen to Jews because we’ve said many times that this sort of thing doesn’t really do anything to help us, and we’d much rather goyim call out and learn about antisemitism. Overall, it’s just very performative activism, and it’s pretty obvious that the goyim reblogging this are just doing it to try and make themselves look better, and not for the sake of Jews.

I feel like I should say since there's been a recent uptick in a lot of communities I'm in/see stuff from a lot of white people pretending to be Asian, but you are not welcome here if you are in anyway stealing from Asian cultures for clout or the aesthetics of it

This includes if you're white and you give your self inserts Asian names, I truly do not care if your f/o is from an anime, you should not be using an Asian name under any circumstances. I hate that whenever I see someone using an Asian name online, I feel like I have to start searching their account to see if they're actually Asian or just a white person who likes the aesthetic of it bcs far too many white people will use Asian names here just bcs it sounds cool, with no regard for the actual cultural meaning behind it. Meanwhile actual Asian people will be mocked for their names, or treated like their names are too hard to learn to pronounce, or discriminated against based on their names

Asian cultures are not a fun little costume for people to dress up with. They aren't just a nice aesthetic, they aren't just a thing you can borrow from bcs you think it sounds cool

"Making Rosemary tea drinking lesbians is bad" says Internet User, but not because it strips them of their characterization and turns them into carbon copies of each other, destined to sit in the background while other characters (men) have character arcs around them, but because they aren't Silly Enough. No no, we don't need to flesh them out, we just need to turn them from Wise Lesbian Couple to Comedic Relief. This will fix everything wrong with fandom depictions of them. *Wipes sweat from forehead* Woo! Being a feminist is so tough!

“Woooah you haven’t blessed us with your face in a while!”

I was tired 😩

big believer in rocky being an extremely angry person actually! so much of it is internalized and he very much channels it into specific things ( like wick, or more recently, marigold ) but this doesn’t negate the fact that he is angry and resentful. sometimes being mad is more than just punching people and threats of violence! sometimes it’s quiet seething and forced joy. sometimes awful things happen to you and you letting them happen doesn’t mean you won’t become angry about it. sometimes your anger is fear, and sometimes it’s another thing, and actually maybe it’s always coming from some other emotion but it feels like anger and that’s what sticks. and i’ll also just say that his head trauma won’t be helping him with any of these problems in the future either <3

Germania with shorter hair please!

+ a beard too for prosperity + him being young

Thoughts

I know a lot of people hate the canon design but I love it lol, I think though it's fun to switch it up. I don't personally have anything against people who play with the canon designs but after a while familiarity to canon can be lost in the shuffle. It would be nice if Himaruya was better at character diversity but he's not lol. Anyhoo, im sure as an immortal nation, he chopped off his hair, grew his beard, shaved his beard etc and beyond a thousand times.

I wanted to draw another comic where he shaves his beard because he doesn't like that the idk "tension" of his face shifts from his lips/jaw to his eyes and he just looks like the world's saddest man with the beard.

I also laughed thinking about Gilbert bursting into tears at the sight of him with a beard bc little kids don't do well with major changes in a parents appearance.

Also while I'm here my HC for why Germania exists is that he has a function as HRE does and is a representation for a collection. I think each separate people of the german tribes had it's own representative that died out as the new generation was born. I like that draw that he's almost always with Gilbert and HRE because those two get sick and die like tinkerbell if they don't get enough attention.

I kinda maybe HC that he doesn't know what to do with Gilbert because he was born early and his people aren't a collection yet so he ends up carrying the brat everywhere he goes as he travels. anyway xoxo read my old germania disclaimer if this makes you soooo mad, anyway more to come

Omg I'm backk to posting!! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

Me yapping under the cut

This would have been finished and posted like a whole month ago if it weren't for some tech difficulties I was facing 😭. Didn't help I had to make several versions because I wasn't feeling any of them. I tried a new rendering style too! Despite how long this shit took I like it. Even with the unfinished fuck ass background.

more for the garashir fairytale grab bag AU I am never going to actually write: garak knows exactly what would break his curse from the start, he just never tells anyone for the longest time b/c he's so sure it could never happen

(it's asking forgiveness, of course. he thinks it's tain's forgiveness he needs, and tain is fucking dead and knew he would be by the time garak woke up so it seems the perfect unbreakable parting fuck-you revenge curse. and garak would expect nothing less from his father than that, so he's resigned to dwindling away painfully. enter julian bashir and his fierce force-of-nature compassion (and also secret illicit immense magical powers) with a steel chair!!! to go 'OH YEAH??? we'll see about that', as you might expect. oh. OH necromancer-ish julian calling tain's ghost up to ask him about what the hell he did and how to undo it, ala his gambit to go see him the wire? and the knowledge he gains from that is what confirms garak's suspicions as to what is Up with this handsome young healer mage because it could be known only by those long dead. cue east of the sun west of the moon part of the narrative once julian understands his game is up and runs away??

anyway getting some true love's kissing in by the end of it all is just a nice bonus it's not needed like strictly magically for either of their situations lol)

makoto naegi as fresh-faced & hopeful co-leader of future foundation on the outside but grizzled and exhausted adult on the inside. he's still 5'3" and has a babyface but when there's no cameras on him he's smoking cigarettes like that ben affleck photo

Okay so the funniest thing about Critical Cooldown is for sure Travis getting up and leaving with a speedy "bye friends" the second the cooldown hits the ten minute mark, and booooy can I relate to that. I love me a good post-session-debrief but I'm also always the one who's the first to leave because DnD makes me le tired and I need my sleeeeep. (And DM-extraordinaire @diocletianscabbagefarm is the one who always ropes me back into the conversation with a simple "Just two more things about the session before you go...")

thinking about how buddy is inherently more durable than its crew. they are humans (presumably), soft and killable. but buddy is not its body, but a mask, which is very hard to break. it can get burned, shot, dismembered, poisoned, and blown up six ways from sunday, and its mask will be fine. thinking about how the crew settles into that mindset that buddy is innately more expendable whether they want to or not

it can travel in front. if there is a bracken, it will follow last. it is first to cross the gap to determine if the jump is worth the risk. it loves to do this because it keeps its crew, significantly more vulnerable than itself, safe. it serves as bait for a spider and laughs when it is numbed with venom and collapses, laughs knowing it just had to get the thing to turn around, to leave itself open to be killed by someone else. fifteen teleports it for the seventh time and grows numb to seeing what a thumper does to a body, watching the host stop moving in the ship. it shoves five out of a nutcracker's line of sight and gets shot and still twitches and laughs as it bleeds its energy out, to keep its attention on it rather than anyone else. how readily it will split from the others and serve itself on a silver platter to anything and everything, just to keep them alive.

its crew don't like it, how it has formed some odd complex about it. it never gets downright reckless with itself, because getting a body is a pain kept to a minimum, but that doesn't stop that looming knowledge of how it can be used. a useful ability to have, leaving it and its team assured that there is a fail-safe. that it's okay for someone to lag behind or march into danger, because they can always get it another body. it is the perfect sacrificial lamb.

it gets a little scared when the baboon hawks rip it apart, seeking for things to swallow whole, and wrap their maws around its skull. turretfire or a nutcracker could hit its mask. a pack of dogs fighting over it could (and eventually do) crack its mask. but it does it anyways, no matter how it disturbs itself or its team, because that is the role it has embraced; it is happy to die for them. it can afford to get eaten alive, so why wouldn't it place itself between a dog and its beloved crew? it is simultaneously ready to die and terrified of death

I do assume companies like Arasaka and Militech have 24/7 employee resources available for like gyms/food/leisure– basically everything but a full bed. You can drop by the caf and grab a snack at 3am and get some coffee from a vending machine and grab a shower in the gym when you wake up with a backache from sleeping at your desk and then get your daily push of stimulants directly into your brain and do it again. The technique of locking people in a conference “war room” until they’ve done the project or task that needs to be done ASAP used often to get stuff over the finish line by the end date a bunch of managers signed off on. Then of course the parts of the city like Jig-Jig that basically give corps on a rare night off the ability to get blackout drunk with their coworkers and get into trouble and then slug some hangover cure and go back in at it again. Standard worker efficiency has got to be absolutely stupid low.
