MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE THEORY

I THINK I KNOW WHO THE OPERA WOMAN IS!!!!!!!!

so if you haven't listened to mama, or if you haven't seen the trailer titled "opera" then i suggest going and doing that first, because these will be the center of my theory, however i am going to paste images of what im talking about here, so you can get away without it.

the facts

now mama by my chem is about a soldier with a strained relationship with his mother and trying to apologize before he dies, we can glean this from these particular lines

and of course the mother feels the same way

and this line is specifically delivered with a classical singing style, you know what's a classical singing style

opera.

and this woman

looked like she was going to sing opera to the men in front of her, and her mouth made the movement, but instead we hear a distorted semi terrifying scream instead.

we also know that this city got destroyed in a war, but the question is a war with who?

now i specifically want to draw attention to the phrase "starved to death in a land of plenty"

in the words of MoonBoots4600 on reddit "Its actually a direct copy of a banner carried in the 1931 Unemployed March when families were dying despite being in the "land of the free""

(original banner)

the new tour trailer have imagery reminiscent of fascism, if this fascist government was limiting people rights, and causing the death and starvation of civilians, there would be an uprising? would there not. so i prepouse this.

the theory

i believe that the mother of the narrator in mama is actually the opera woman. the opera woman works for the government, and the son is apart of the rebellion. when the son dies this affect the rebellion strongly, and the mother must report this to the men seen in the video. the screaming is a metaphor for her grief as she tell the government what has happened, despite her neutral expression, she is angered for her son has died.

(i normally don't ask for reblogs but on this i am begging, i need people to see this and give me some second opinions. please reblog)

PSA: Blocked their ass since they're trying to fit in the Sparklecare fandom despite having a long history of drawing zoophilia, proship and multiple things they've done. They never change now, weren't they?

If you're curious what's with woofledog and kindlecare, please read this entire post from @/beclight with your own caution. Do not interact with a freak above, block them and move on.

I can't believe I'm saying this but the creator does NOT want any type of disgust to be in her comic or the fandom at all. Thank you.

what are you my mother?

okay i see things like this a lot and I always want to ask the authors: are you asking questions?

A simple authors note at the end of the chapter saying things like (a few examples of possibilities):

Please comment if you liked this!

I would love to hear what your favorite part was

I am crazy about character a please talk to me about them

That new episode was thrilling tell me what you thought in the comments

My favorite color is blue what's yours?

I think character b loves thing c, what do you think they like?

Tell me what you think will happen next chapter!

Please don't tell me anything you don't like, and don't ask me to update - it will happen when it happens. Hearing what you like best might help inspire me though

I have unfortunately seen authors that actively hate on readers for making predictions on their work. I have seen other authors encouraging readers to beg for updates and then those commenter's get yelled at for doing that by others because it's generally considered rude and ungrateful in Fandom. But those readers didn't know - they were new and had seen creators want that. Unfortunately the differences can be incredibly jarring until someone might not want to comment at all because what does this author want? They might just stick to heart emojis - but wait this other author is saying if your comment is only emoji don't bother to comment just leave a kudos. What is a reader/ commenter to do?

A quick cut and paste ending authors note with a few variations can encourage the type of engagement you want. It won't help those with no spoons to engage but those who simple don't know what to say might be brave enough to speak up if they know what kind of engagement is appreciated.

A writer friend told me something that broke my heart a little bit today; they're going to quit publishing their fanfic.

My instant thought was that they had been trolled or attacked or that something terrible had happened in their life because this person is so passionate about their writing. It wasn't any of that. Engagement with their works has been going down, as it has for many of us. Comments are like gold dust a lot of the time, and just looking through the historical comment counts on old fics on ao3 demonstrates this trend very clearly. It was not simply the comments dropping off which caused them to decide to stop posting, however.

My friend came across a discord server for their fandom (I should point out here that their fandom interest and mine diverged a couple of years ago, we stay in touch but don't currently read each other's posts because I'm not into their fandom and they would rather gouge their eyes out with a wooden spoon than read anything Star Wars) and specifically to share fic in that fandom. They joined, because we all love a good fic rec, only to discover that their latest multichapter fic, which has almost no comments and very few kudos, is being hotly discussed in this server as one of the best stories ever. Not one of these people has bothered to say this to them on the fic. When they asked, none of participants could see the point in telling the author of the fic they apparently loved so much that they love it.

This discovery has absolutely destroyed my friend's love of sharing fic. They share because they love seeing other people's enjoyment, and fic writers do that through comments and kudos/reblogs/likes because we don't get paid. There is no literary critic writing a blog post/article about how amazing the story is for us to copy and keep/frame. There is no money from royalties. All we have are the words of the people reading our works.

Those people on that server could have taken five minutes of the time they spent gushing about how amazing my friend's story was to other people and used it to tell the one person guaranteed to want to hear that praise how much they loved it. They could have taken a moment to express their opinion to the person who spent hours upon hours plotting, writing, editing, and posting those chapters. Instead, they deprived my friend of thing that keeps them sharing their writing, and in the process have killed their love of it. My friend now feels used and unmotivated.

I won't be sharing a link to their fic, they said I could share their experience but not their identity. I know they plan to post one final chapter. I know they intend to express their hurt at being excluded from the praise for the thing they created, and I know they intend to announce that as a consequence they will not be posting for a long while, if at all.

So please, I beg you, don't hide your love of a story from the writer. It's just about the only thing we have.

Language Question:

What's the difference between these words: furry, fluffy, fuzzy, wooly, hairy, and if you had to make a diagram to explain the difference, what would it look like?

🚫📱 Stop Scrolling!, 🚨 Take Action!: 🛑⚠️ Help Us Escape Danger 🏠💙 and Live in Safety!

📌 Stop scrolling,

don't ignore us! 🥺‼️

I am Tareq, the eldest son in my family, writing to you today from Deir al-Balah, South Gaza. We are currently living in a shelter provided by UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency), but the conditions here are extremely difficult. Our lives are constantly at risk, with the threat of airstrikes and destruction surrounding us at all times.

This shelter is no longer enough to ensure our safety. We urgently need to leave Gaza for a safe place, away from the constant threat of bombings and destruction. This is our goal right now—escaping these dire circumstances and finding a place that offers us hope for a new life.

Why do we need your help?

I, Tareq, am responsible for my family in these difficult times, and my brother Mohammed is helping me communicate with you all through social media to share our struggle. We need to raise funds to help us leave Gaza and move to a safe place where we can live without the constant fear of violence and destruction.

Every interaction with this campaign makes a significant difference. Whether by donating or sharing the message, your support is essential in helping us secure this safe escape.

📌 Raising My Fundraiser

We need to raise funds to cover the costs of leaving Gaza and finding safety elsewhere. The money we raise will help secure shelter, food, and medical care in a place that will provide us with the security we desperately need.

[persisting]

hi, i’m your local laid off discord employee, here to talk about exactly how safe it may or may not be to talk about Political Activism on discord. my credentials here are that i was a senior member of discord’s trust & safety team, which is the team that handles bans, legal investigations, and legal compliance. (my speciality was in child safety, anti-grooming, and taking down CSAM, but i also worked occasionally in low level terrorism issues and assisted that team in investigations.) i also know most of the people still working there in these capacities.

the tldr and most important thing to know is: i do not recommend you plan, discuss plans, or use any kind of hyperbolic (or not) language about violence to government officials or anyone in that vicinity on discord. please use signal instead.

a discord trust & safety employee is technically able to see any message you’ve sent under your account, going all the way back to the beginning of your account. unless you have manually deleted a message, it is viewable to a tns employee. now: it is a tremendous part of being on a tns team that we did NOT invade user privacy without cause. cause was usually: another user reported something you said, and we thought the reported message indicated you might be doing something elsewhere that was illegal (for example: a user says “i’m talking to this girl but she’s in high school lol.” i would then try to find evidence as to whether or not there was a child safety issue there. in this example, we’d require clear admission of age from both the user and the alleged high school girl, and then clear evidence of sexual talk between them, and go from there.) finding evidence required looking though all of that user’s messages.

most of the tns team, as i know them, are pretty resolute about not going further in looking than would be needed for action. most of the tns team that i still speak to is very much on the side of blue. your general conversations are probably perfectly safe, and we were very good at figuring out quickly if someone has reported you maliciously. i don’t believe you need to worry too much about your porn and fanfic and all that.

HOWEVER: reported content must be investigated, and discord can, and has been, legally subpoenaed to turn over user information. again, this has nominally been in Very Evil cases (CSAM and grooming, school shooting threats, murder admissions, etc.) but that could change, either at the federal level, or at the discord policy level. discord, like any social media company, could easily be pressured or forced into taking on different internal policies that could get you in serious trouble if you are organizing violent or “illegal” resistance. if that happens, there is a scenario where this incoming administration is given access to your messages.

again: please do not organize your political or social resistance on discord from now on. please use signal to ensure your maximum safety. do not panic if you have already talks about things on discord: you can easily delete your messages, and that WILL remove from an employee’s view. do that and use signal from now on.

stay safe. i love you. 💕

NEED HELP WITH CAR REPAIRS + BILLS + TRANSPORTATION!

PAYPAL | AMAZON WISHLIST | KOFI | GOFUNDME |PATREON | HOLIDAY WISHES LIST @ DREAMWIDTH

11/21/24 - Edited Post!

So we wracked up a $765 bill from our mover that, bless him, he's letting me pay off when I get he money. I also have car repairs (there's a few different things wrong with the car so we're aiming for $3000 to cover everything) and I'm in debt to PayPal by almost $600. I am also almost $1100 overdrawn due to loan payments and overdraft fees, so any help paying that down would be amazing.

We also have regular bills to cover, and while the medical taxis our insurance gets for us pick us up on time, we usually wait an hour or two to get home, which my mother absolutely cannot do if there's no place to sit, so I'd like to have money for Ubers to get us home from doctor appointments. I also need Ubers for shopping and taking care of non-medical stuff.

Any help at all would be utterly amazing. Reblogs are also much appreciated!

$347/$6000

EDIT 1: My mom now owes PayPal $250 so until I can pay it I won't be able to receive any donations. We still need help with groceries and paying the movers, though, so please help us cover the debt?

EDIT 2: Thank you to everyone who helped me get the laundry supplies! For the moment, I have enough to finish the rest of the laundry that we brought over, but we still need the wet vac to keep our floors clean, if anyone would be able to help with that.

⚠️⏰Warning ⚠️ ⏰

Time is running out😥💔

Hello my friends and supporters of my campaign to save my life and the lives of my beautiful family.❤🥺

We have made significant progress in achieving our campaign, thanks to you, your support, and your generous donations. There is only a little more to go.😁✌💜

First, let me reintroduce myself: 😃

I am Dr. Mohammad Al-Deeb, an ER physician at Al-Shifa Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip 🩺🩸💉

before the brutal war forced us to leave our homes, memories, and workplaces, which have now become rubble after years of hard work to build them.😓😰

Our beautiful home, filled with cherished memories, holds in every corner the story of my childhood and youth💙, which my siblings and I dedicated our lives to building.😪😣

Now, I am displaced in the southern part of Wadi Gaza😪,

living with my family in a small tent that lacks even the most basic necessities of life—

no food, no water, no place to sleep, or even a place to personal needs.😓

I

I ask for your continued support, as I have always relied on it.

We have achieved 72% of our campaign goal, and with your help and ongoing support, we will soon reach 100% of our goal.😁✌🙏🕊

Hmm let me get a poll for something real quick

I want to see how many people have easy access to nature, as I assume most of tumblr lives in urban areas such as cities or large suburbs, and a lot of people seem to not know much about the native species of plants and animals in their area. If you answered several, please reblog with which ones! And if the natural area is not mentioned, add it in a reblog or comment :)
