RIP Oliver 😞

So my husband and I have been listening to the audiobook of His Majesty's Dragon (we haven't gotten very far yet) but I accidently started talking "formal and British" apparently. I was at my mom's and her new cat walked up to me and I said, "Well hello, Oliver. I do not believe that we have properly met." Then I was like, omg I sound like Laurence 😅

RIP Felix Catton, you would've loved not taking Oliver to Prescot that day (or ever).

boiling hot take probably but the only ship isagi is bottoming in is bachisagi and that’s because bachira would also bottom for him / they switch it up. but if he’s with rin or kaiser? those two won’t get a chance to top him, not even once 😭

RIP Shelley Duvall, Faerie Tale Theatre Queen

This obituary may be late to the party, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t pay my respects to the late Shelley Duvall, who left us on July 11, 2024. The news of her passing both shocked and saddened me, as did a good many others who were fans of her film roles and of Faerie Tale Theatre. As someone who’s spent little over two years reviewing and ranking Faerie Tale Theatre episodes, I can attest to…

i do not pity israel. never have, and never will.

each night that gaza experiences is deadlier than the last, as idf soldiers record propaganda tiktoks, make rave parties and grwms and fit checks, gloat over having food and water, and film themselves deriving sadistic pleasure from torturing their hostages and victims and desecrating the dead.

Palestinians have to display their martyred before the camera for you to believe the atrocities that the zionist entity has subjected them to. they cannot even mourn in private. the apartheid entity murders them in cold blood, and you deliver the killing blow by doubting them.

babies whose families have been killed will never get to know their own name.

i can't reshare a tenth of the videos and photos that cross my timeline. i have seen more dead children in the past month than i have known death my entire life.

israeli settlers burn olive trees, bomb bakeries and fishing boats, shower white phosphorus and earthquake bombs on the captive civilians of gaza. you already know about the disastrous effects of white phosphorus, but earthquake bombs were last used during ww2 to wipe out entire cities.

how holy is the land that seeks to be built over the mass graves of thousands of children? is it holier than the miracle of a child being born in this hypocritical world?

all 11 universities in gaza have been bombed. academics should be agitating right now, especially those who call themselves "decolonial thinkers." destruction of universities is a sinisterly deliberate act to sabotage the Palestinians who will survive this great catastrophe.

the act of cleansing your hands before prayer is extremely important to muslims. no part of us can remotely comprehend the grief of the mother who refused to wash her hands from the blood of her children after losing them in a zionist airstrike over gaza. "I swear I won't wash them, I won't wash my hands, how else am I supposed to sleep near my kids."

it is only both moral and right when one side defends itself. the other side are the price of war, no better than insects and cattle and sheep left to die within the four walls of the slaughterhouse.

this situation should not be up for debate, but let me finish with one final thing : do your research about Palestine. HOWEVER. you do not need a degree in middle east studies to object to an ongoing genocide. if someone outwits you in a debate about historical details and every nuance of a subject, you were and will remain entirely correct in objecting to a genocide.

may those martyred rest in peace and be reunited again with their loved ones in heaven's eternal vastness.

DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE.

glory to Palestinian resistance. from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

how it started vs how its going

yes, religion is important. yes, historical context is deeply important. yes to all of the disclaimers that are required to have opinions. please let everything melt away and think with me.

what would you pray, hope, wish, manifest, do anything, for your great great great great²⁰ grandchild to do ? what would Your great²³ grandchild want You to do? as mahmoud darwish said, if the hands that saw the olive tree planted saw who reaps the fruit now, they would weep.

let all time melt like sand, like sand does. tell me, what do you want? justice? mercy? mercy for who? mercy for what? mercy when and where? what does mercy mean? think. just think, you'll be fine as long as everybody else has the heart to think too.

Status Post #11452 (reblog): He'll always be missed here.

Let your passion be the reason for your existence.

From the age of four, I was passionate about martial arts. But one day my mother suggested I become an actor, and the thought stirred my soul, so I took her advice. My first acting role was for an untitled project that would come to be known to us all as Power Rangers. I remember walking into the callback auditions and being surrounded by girls. My first thought was, "is the Green Ranger a girl or a boy?" I laughed at the thought. Although I was confused which part I was exactly auditioning for, I remember helping one of the girls with her karate moves. That same girl ended up being cast as Trini the Yellow Ranger.

Like everything I do, I put my passion into acting and into the role I was given: Tommy Oliver, the Green Ranger. Every day on set I would arrive early and go from department to department learning the ins and outs of filmmaking. I put my heart, soul, and karate into the role of Tommy. I was only hired for ten episodes, but I made sure that for those episodes, I would give Tommy my all. Tommy Oliver was a lot like me, the loner kid who spent most of his time training. But Tommy and I developed together. We learned the importance of friendship, as Tommy turned from loner to a key part of the Ranger team. Tommy was passionate about his friends, martial arts, and becoming an outstanding member of his community. This is something that I would carry with me long after my time in Power Rangers was complete.

You cannot fathom my shock and happiness when thousands of letters and phone calls from parents came in asking for the return of my character to Power Rangers. The Green Ranger, Tommy, had left such an impact on thousands of children that they were sad about his departure, even refusing to eat or go to school. For the first time in my life, I understood that I was a hero to so many. Through my role as Tommy, I was able to motivate children to be altruistic and develop moral reasoning. I loved being able to travel the country and the world with my co-stars and act as role models.

Twenty-five years later, the Power Rangers remain role models and well-loved by all. With the outstanding love and support from fans around the world, which grows greater and greater as time passes, nothing makes me more proud than to have been Tommy Oliver and continue to show everyone my passion for life and the arts.

Luckily, I can relive and experience the story of Tommy in BOOM! Studios' Power Rangers comic books. The story of my most beloved character, and the rest of the Power Rangers, has come to life on paper. BOOM! has put together such an amazing story, one that goes into depth on the characters so many have grown to love and admire. A story that lets the reader experience the characters beyond what you saw on screen.

I love that I'm able to pick up a comic book that portrays Tommy Oliver and the Rangers. This new story, brought to life in comic books, is a fundamental part of the legacy of Power Rangers and brings a modernized, multifaceted aspect to the series. Fans of the original show, both new and old are now able to see a different side of their role models. BOOM! Studios' new story for Tommy Oliver highlights the struggle of good vs. evil, which is Tommy's biggest challenge and essential for readers to experience and learn from,

After twenty-five years, I try to continue to be a role model, whether it is fighting in the MMA cage, martial arts, or in my new acting roles. I am blessed to be a hero on screen, but portraying Tommy Oliver motivates me to be a hero in real life as well.

I'm blessed to have been able to take my passion and bring it to life and to have so many people experience it along with me. People with great passion can make the impossible happen just as the Power Rangers have been doing for all these years. Just like Tommy said, "It's not just the costume and powers that give you strength. It's who and what you are inside that really empowers you." It's Morphin Time!
