Can you explain Palestine vs Israel. I have done my own research and still do not understand. From my understanding Palestine attacked Israel first, and this war has been going on for so much longer than just now. So why is it suddenly so important and how is Israel in the wrong?? Genuinely trying to understand since you are spreading news of the Genocide on your page.

hey so i cant really explain all the complexities and details in a singular tumblr post. i dont really know how much research you did if october 7th is your earliest knowledge of ���attack.’ israel has been an apartheid state since 1948 and during that year they were downright deplorable to palestinians to get them to be conpliant. nakba is probably the most notorious case but there is more.

this issue is important because this is the first time we see such atrocities in mainstream media and online. Its so oversaturated with suffering that it sets a precedent for how the world (the general public in particular) reacts outside of politicians and activists. will we continue to care when we see other people suffer, or will we grow numb and desensitised? it’s important we don’t lose our humanity like capitalist neoliberalism would prefer. just because we live comfortable lives, it doesnt mean we should be ignorant to those who are suffering. in fact, we should inspect ourselves and ask whether their suffering lends to our comfort and vice versa (it usually does). for instance, many western countries are profiting from this apartheid, hence their support.

i’m not going to list through everything (plus i myself don’t know everything) but i can tell you where to go, and hopefully some others can add on to it.

for israel’s crimes against palestine since october 7th on the account of genocide i feel like south africa has done an amazing job putting together documentations of evidence against them in the ICC. you can find the full thing on youtube or online. some of the crimes include bombing and stopping aid trucks from reaching gaza, preventing women from giving birth by bombing maternity wards, bombing hospitals (there are now 0 active hospitals in gaza, whereas before october there were 36. this info has not been updated in the case) to prevent civilians from getting life-saving treatment, psychologically tormenting civilians until they lose the will to live (particularly in children), and so on.

of course please pay attention to palestinian journalists within gaza specifically— they will show you firsthand whats happening. there’s many apart of al jazeera. al jazeera has also done some articles on the history for you. here is one on nakba. amnesty also did a good job on explaining what an apartheid is.

theres also quite a few independent ones that have become journalists through this attack from israel. bisan is one of them if youre active on tiktok. noor harazeen is a journalist on instagram.

here is a link on how israel funded hamas to rival the plo

here is al jazeeras article on the cultural genocide of palestinians through bombing ancient historical sites and artefacts.

kind of seperate to all that but still related is how support for palestine affects other people. people are losing the jobs over supporting palestine (such as melissa barrera in scream). yemen, another third world country who has been going through crises such as food insecurity for years, has been suspended aid by the UN because it has been aiding palestine throughout the conflict.

The UN in general has been useless about calling for a ceasefire. The United States vetoed during a UNSC meeting because the USA sucks ass. you can look any of this up and they will come with multiple sources im just too tired to find something rn (i’m currently on vacay and heavily sleep deprived).

also general advice to not ask a percy jackson account but an account dedicated to spreading information on the palestine-israel apartheid because they would be able to help you more. yes, ive talked about it on this account but that doesnt mean i’m qualified to explain 75 years of oppression.

[hyenagurl]

genuine question but how do you as a radical feminist stomach having a boyfriend in this political climate & how are you not counting down the days until he shows how misogynistic he is? or has he already done it and you’re just okay with it? sorry if its personal, i’m just in a situation rn & not many of us date males

its a fair question and i appreciate it. i have a lot of thoughts about it bc i’ve considered this a lot so sorry for the long reply:

the sad truth is the bullshit and trauma ive had to deal with has simultaneously given me both high and low standards in different ways, if that makes sense. i have the maturity and self esteem to not tolerate weird toxic bullshit anymore and know what i like, but at the same time i finally have someone who genuinely doesnt treat me like a sex object and listens to me when i speak and doesnt bore me, or disappoint me, or gross me out. right now im at a time in my life where thats what im looking for. if that sounds mundane and un-special, thats because it is lol. this is what i want in a man right now, bc i never totally wanted a relationship to begin with. before my current bf i was fine with the idea of only having casual stuff and just doing my thing (even if it didnt go well for me when i did, but thats the guys fault). but then i happened to have a person in my circle of close friends that i knew for years that liked me, and so far ive never seen him act like a tool, so i simply decided to give it a chance - thats all it comes down to. i take it day by day and enjoy his companionship while i do, and i care for him… but im not going to totally emotionally depend on him for a while. if and when i fall out of love with him, i know i can handle it and do whats right. if that makes sense.

thats my perspective on MY relationship though. to answer in a broader sense, im keenly aware that hes never gonna truly understand my deep mistrust or contempt of men in the way other women do, but i accepted that the same way that i accept that i cant make every women embrace feminism or separatism. right now im happy to discuss and plan for separatism when im older and more stable, and my goal is to tell other women about it. and to always, always, always have VERY high standards, to know yourself completely so you know exactly what you want in life, and that a man is ultimately just… an option in a woman’s life. not mandatory for a happy existence by a long shot.

thats what it comes down to. women are, right now, not very primed to completely write off heterosexual romance, both bc economically its harder than ever to live on your own or only with other women, and culturally to swear off men completely. that sort of shame it gives you isnt easy to shake off. look at the backlash that resulted in 4B taking off online. my answer to it: if youre gonna buy into it, make sure you protect yourself first and foremost, period.

so those are my reasons for a rad-leaning women in a heterosexual relationship. i do not encourage women in my life to be with a man ever, but i dont care if she chooses to, either. i try not to describe myself as a feminist for this reason, even though i love discussing and reading about it, because feminism is real political activism that takes full dedication and respect, and i accept that i cannot give it what it deserves at this point in my life. but that doesnt mean i cant learn more about womens liberation and history.

[ofmermaidstories]

HI same anon from earlier. but. how did you develop your writing style? i love how personalized your voice is and it’s genuinely so enjoyable to read! sm appreciation for you and your art <3

you know how like, people have accents? not regional ones—but like, you might meet someone at uni or work, and almost immediately you can clock that they a) watch a lot of anime and b) maybe read a lot of 80s/90s fantasy/scifi? it’s like that! it’s when someone’s voice is very clearly informed by what they’re consuming or are active in. like how being chronically online means you can pick a twitter user (they’re always inserting disclaimers or over-explaining themselves to prevent misunderstanding or explicitly clarifying a position). it’s the same principle!! i write like i talk, and i talk like i do because i consume a lot of stuff lmao.

one of my favourite tiktoks is like, this girl pouncing on an older woman—she’s big in the fashion industry but her name is escaping me rn—to ask her where she gets her style from, and the woman is just like, “be interested in other things!!!”. and we say that all time in writing circles, right? like, read more, watch more movies, etc etc but it’s so true, because it’s only by exposing yourself to whatever you can that you can then start like, parring down the things you like, and then work through what you like about them.

i like poetry. and i like music. we all like music!! but music has cadence the same way us speaking to each other does. some of my favourite books are in first-person and because we’re in first-person, we’re in the character’s head 24/7, which means we’re privvy to the music of their thoughts. because it is music! i don’t think in complete sentences, do you? i think in—fragments, like a burst of song. or in details. i like details!!! they’re often the first thing i notice in situations, so i include them when i write, and i’ll read authors that include them, too. but then it’s a bit of a trap, because you have to have a light hand with it—you can’t just over-describe everything, it’s going to bore everyone—so we come back to poetry. it’s a good way of reading about that momentary focus on an otherwise mindless detail, and realising how much grounding it can bring to a piece (or a sentence). but then we come back to music and our thoughts. details don’t just stand alone! they exist as a part of other things! you don’t just have the smudged silver of an ice bucket from an empty ice machine in a motel, you have an ice bucket because you’re… standing in the burning hot heat of a motel in the middle of the desert. and maybe the bucket is smudged because the manager running this place literally doesn’t care, and the cleaner is busy scrubbing vomit out of the carpet in the room next to yours, and it’s a worn-down, hard-luck place where people don’t come by choice because it’s like, built on the old highway that existed before they put it one of those mega-freeways that have now bypassed the town and everyone here is poor. i’m not american, i don’t know anything about freeways, but i like history!!! i like things, i like fashion. i wanted to be an animator when i was a kid, and the lingering result of me frantically taking in whatever i could, back in the day, is that i still have a interest in like, idk, cold-war era animation lmao. and this all sounds stupid just rattling off, but what i’m trying to say is that when you take in and discover things you love, it informs your voice and ultimately your style. like i could give you a laundry list of my favourite, personhood-defining books right now (flowers in the attic [read when i was twelve, has always stuck with me in the imagery], chuck palahniuk in general [one of my first intros to second-person pov], shirley jackson in general again, romance novels written in the 90s lmao, the virgin suicides, like—there’s a lot) but it’s not a recipe, because my other interests feed into how i write. 🥹 i like perfume (literally fighting with someone about it rn on twitter lmao), so i’m on fragrantica, a site for reviewing them. which means i am routinely exposed to like, people describing scents!!! and the thing with perfume is that like, if you don’t know what an iris smells like, then you’re kinda up shit creek, right? like, sometimes we’re just not exposed to things! so it’s really common for perfume reviews to try and invoke feeling—and some of it is like, yeah, marketing lmao, like, trying to get you to feel sentimental or hopeful enough to buy a bottle, but if i say “this smells like iris” vs. “this smells creamy and powdery soft, like uncapping an expensive lipstick” you’re gonna get a better idea of things!!! like you still might not know what an iris smells like—but you know what creamy is, what powdery might be. what overpriced luxury type items might entail.

the worst part about this is that none of it came together overnight. like i wish i could just prescribe things, books, like, yes, read this and then you’ll be able to write the exact same way. but it doesn’t work like that! this is quite literally a lifelong effort. so if you wanna develop your own style then like—you have to tend to everything else first. 🥹 you have to love and be excited about other things, because it will tighten your sentences (or blow them up!) and give you music—or an accent lmao—to think in. 🥹

astro observations pt. i

✧ neptune in aquarius generation ✧

(tw: possible conversational topics)

Hi everyone! I wanted to first say thank you so much to everyone who liked, reblogged, and/or followed me after my recent post. I wasn’t expecting that response at all and it really made my week!! I also wanted to mention that I am not an astrologer, I’m a computer science student (whose semester starts in a week) so consistency isn’t a strong suit rn. Regardless, I appreciate the support. 🥰

Here are a few observations I’ve noticed with the Aquarius Neptune Generation (as someone with this placement) - I do relay my points back to astrology but these are just my opinions. It’s okay to disagree! :)

✧ for context, Neptune rules over the zodiac sign Pisces and themes of dreams, illusions, mystics, intuition, imagination, etc. Aquarius and those who carry placements in this sign (more obviously if the placement is prominent) express characteristics of intelligence, invention, humanitarianism, friendliness, altruism, and reformation.

fake activism ✧ I feel like a lot of people in this generation are only activists online, or the power they either choose to or believe that they have is digital. Like they will repost an infographic about a human rights issue but won’t make any physical permanent change (i.e. a donation or bringing it up in conversations with their friends to spread more awareness). That activism and reformation being talked about is the Aquarius feature, but the lack of permanence is the Neptunian feature.

✧ I could go deeper into this but I feel like the discussion could be seen as controversial, so I’ll spare the details.

fake wealth ✧ There are a lot of influencers and people on the internet that flex their wealth online. Presenting this false persona of themselves. In reality, this isn’t true. I feel like a lot of the time we’re told this but without knowing how many people are doing this. Traditionally the 11H is governed by Aquarius and one of the themes of the 11H is community, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a lot of people. I feel like when Saturn transits Taurus in the future, this could come to light?

(Saturn will transit through Taurus until fall 2029, go retrograde in Aries until spring 2030, and will remain in Taurus until spring 2032)

✧ The only reason I infer this is that Saturn returns are like check-ins to make sure you’re putting in the work to take care of yourself, your life, and your decisions relating to your Saturn placement. If you have, you will be rewarded by Saturn, and if not you will be disciplined. And something about lying to people about your wealth seems valid of that discipline.

being chronically online ✧ This one annoys me because I swear the world would be a much better place with common sense and critical thinking skills…anyway. A lot of people try to be a voice for what they view as an underrepresented community, without questioning the validity of their statement.

today someone in a comment section on my fyp said that “being chronically online is an insult to chronically ill people” 😐😑😐

that’s all for now. see you later!

[elizakai]

☆hiiiiii eliza it's been a while </3 how have you been !!!!!

hi love 🥺 /p

i won’t bs haha, i’ve been struggling lately, but you know what that’s ok! everyone had ups and downs, and i’m just trying to get through to the other side rn🥰

unfortunately that…does mean i’m struggling creatively, which in turn affects my activity online, which i am sorry for /gen

i’m doing my best to just push through it and hopefully i’ll be able to get back into being more active here <3333

thanks for asking/caring🥺 how have you been??🌸

(damn i really miss interacting with my mutuals.)

Hello world of tumbr.

I am Cypress (or Cipher) and I’m the co-host of a DID system. Bodily 19.

Fictive of (reformed) Bill Cipher which is pretty neat. Mass following systems rn because I’m desperate for sys moots

Agender aroace he/it

I like birds, reptiles, bugs, oddities, drawing.

I gen don’t know what else to say.. gravity falls fictives pls interact !

More active in insta/discord. New to tumbr and I don’t know how to use it, lol

Interact pls ;

- systems

- 17+

- bird, reptile, and bug enjoyers

Dni ; ( block and move on, don’t argue about these pls )

- under 17 (you can follow but we won’t be friends sorry <\3 )

- pro/dark/com-ship

- zoo/pedo/anything along those lines

- endo systems

- anti-recovery

- if u want to me my friend just to date me I’ll genuinely throw you into the sun

Bfyf:

- Other than DID were also diagnosed with ADHD, autism, bpd, and ocd. I try my hardest to manage these things but sometimes I need to step back and take a break. If I leave you on delivered or seen, I will get back to you and it’s nothing you did!

- I don’t tend to “act” like my source. If for some odd reason, this upsets you, then I’d suggest looking for someone else.

- I don’t mean to sound dry ever. I’m simply just nervous around new people.

- I can’t believe this has to be said but I am *not* looking for any sort of romantic relationship online. I don’t mind if you have /r mems with me, or if you talk about it, though! Memories are a totally separate thing. I just want to be fully transparent that I am not interested in having a romantic partner.

- I’m ok with things like platonic pet names and jokingly flirting, I see these as fully platonic. But it’s always a good idea to ask first!

- I am very passionate about my interests, I will ramble about them.

- I struggle understanding tones from time to time, tone tags are appreciated but not required.

[araedi]

I promised an update on my life/activity and stuff, so here it is! I’ll stuff it all under the cut but the tldr is I’m still here just on a super slow. I’m always down for chats and interactions as long as you’re cool with that!

I’m quite private about myself online so gonna keep this brief (lol watch me do anything but), but I feel like I keep circling back to apologising every few months for not being here enough then punishing myself over it when I’m not magically active again. It’s ultimately a hobby but I still feel bad that people writing with me could be feeling let down/ignored, so I wanted to drop this rather than keep on cycling the same apology until it feels hollow.

Life’s a Lot right now: I’m currently juggling two part time jobs, pretty much full household responsibilities for three people, night-school with essays, and an emotionally intensive placement as part of my training which also involves paperwork. Home life is also less than ideal (won’t go into details). On top of this, I have chronic health problems alongside chronic pain so most days I’m just crabby and exhausted; my mental health could be better but rn it just feels like I’m treading water to get to a place where I’ll have fewer commitments.

Ultimately rp and writing/creative stuff in general is part of how I unwind so I’ll always be around because this outlet is so rewarding, but as it stands I’m just so mentally and pysically drained that when I do have the time I’d rather just switch my brain off and play a bit of a game and have a sliver of social life than try to force out writing which is gonna be sub-par. I’ve been feeling kinda down about my writing for a bit and just feel like I’m giving the same post over and over, which also isn’t helpful!

As for my activity and where y’all fit: I’m still around and intend to be; still responding to DM’s on Discord or IM’s on here (unreliable though they are -_-) just being ridiculously slow with replies and popping reblogs or replies out just as and when. I’m not the type to up and quit, hell I’ve been on this blog for years so I’m going nowhere, just on the go-slow with the odd spurt of like 3-5 replies.

Of course I 100% understand if this weird unpredictable activity doesn’t fit for you: we all have different needs and expectations with this hobby and if me only showing up now and again isn’t gonna work that’s totally ok and you don’t have to follow or write with me: it’s been a blast knowing you!

If you’re chill to stick around and deal with my slowness, please know I WILL get to replies, even if it’s at glacial pace. I’ll post a shot of my tracker/a list up in the future so I can be 100% on what I owe and know you can always check in with me/hold me accountable for stuff. Please know you can ALWAYS drop stuff in my ask boxes, whether it’s memes or questions for muses or just crack. It always puts a smile on my face <3 if I received it I’ll reply to it, so barring just a few memes I have nothing else waiting!

This all being said I would LOVE to build up more long term/in-depth character relationships and sustained interactions over multiple threads. I love getting to know my rp partners beyond the muses – it’s just that right now it’ll take six times as long to get anywhere. My door’s open for any chats r.e. any muses here or on the multi.

If you need my disco handle just ask/reply here or whatever and I can send it; if you need to get in touch for any reason and can’t seem to get through to me, just send a ping to the bestie Benevolentgodloki c:

If you read all this and are ok with sticking around know that you have my undying love lmao; I know it isn’t easy trying to build anything with someone who only posts once in a blue moon so your patience is appreciated and I’ll always appreciate having people to come back to on here <33

[mollymarymarie]

hello love!!

i just finished a re-read (one of several) of DYH and i came here to tell you (remind you really, it’s yours ofc you know this) how lovely and brilliant it is!! i went back to my original comment on ao3 and realized my first read was just over a year ago which is so wild.

i have so many thoughts but the one that i can’t help but smile about—the thing that has really stuck with me as i started publishing my first fics and writing more regularly and being more invested in this fandom over the past year—is your response. you replied back! and that was the first time i had really interacted with an author on ao3. you were so kind and thoughtful and overall i could tell that you really cared and wanted to create space for conversations about your work that made it feel like we were all on the same level, loving these characters together.

there’s so much discourse rn on fandom and popular fics and interactions within this space that are harmful and negative, and it’s all so valid. like, you did not owe me a response. you don’t owe anyone anything as a writer. but the community aspect to fandom is still very much present and wanted and for folks not on tumblr, most of that discourse happens in fic comments. so even a small interaction over a year ago in the comment section of one of my favorite stories is still HUGE to me, because it made me feel like i could interact; like the space was also mine to claim. and i am so very grateful to you for making that happen, even unconsciously.

you’re a superstar and a fabulous writer and i’m sending you all of the flowers and sweet treats and affection in my arsenal <3 thank you!! hope you’re having a good day :)

FRIEND 🥺🥺🥹🥹

I am so happy you took the time to send me this because it means SO MUCH to me. Because I really do try to be as kind as possible, especially to those who are already so kind to me to read (and reread!) my work and comment on it and enjoy it! This genuinely made me tear up 🥹

This is what fandom should be! A space for community and conversation and connections, enjoying things that we love together! I'm so thankful you think I'm a good author but I'm also just a regular ass nobody lol. it might take me some time to reply to comments or asks (especially now that I'm not as active as I used to be) but i met some of my closest online friends through comments and messages on Tumblr and ao3 so I love those connections

I wish I could say, yes, interact!! Don't be afraid!! But that would be hypocritical of me, because I don't interact much anymore specifically because of negative interactions. But your incredibly thoughtful ask has reminded me that the good outweigh the bad by far ❤️

[lumonyix]

welcome to my tumblr! (new and improved)

Hi there! I’m lumonyix (pronounced loom-oh-nicks) also known as Ace. I’m making my (not-so-grand) return to being active online (and by that I mean posting and then immediately leaving) as of now (late 2024).

If you know me from DeviantArt, Instagram, Twitter, or somewhere else (either by lumonyx or lumonyix), you are within the minority. I have never had a following and would not like to have one now, but I did try and get some traction on Instagram for a while. It’s better that I didn’t get much because if I were a teenager posting in today’s world people definitely would have hardcore bullied me because my art was very ugly for longer than it should have been. I think it’s at least presentable now. I am a hobbyist and draw purely for fun, when I have the time and energy.

I don’t expect this page to curate a following; if it somehow does I will be beyond shocked. As a heads-up, I am very bad at posting frequently. I’ll mainly post something when I draw something. Which is infrequently.

I am an avid fan of Dragon Ball currently, much of my artwork will probably be related to this. I was an extreme Team Galactic fan as a high schooler and am currently rediscovering my Cyrus obsession in real time :D

Nothing much else to say but list a few of my other interests:

I love to play video games and listen to music!! I also like reading manga (trying to get back into reading actual like, literature)

Steam Community :: aceofspace_

^this is my steam account if you want to know the kind of stuff I play! In terms of music, I will listen to just about anything but like alternative rock in particular!

I am obsessed with characters i literally love characters so much. characters are the most important parts of fiction to me and are my main artistic inspiration. Some of my favorites are:

Vegeta - Dragon Ball

Frieza - Dragon Ball (IMPORTANT NOTE: I hate him but am fixated on him. He is ugly and short. I have no love for him whatsoever. I think he is very gay. But i like thinking about him because making fun of him is therapeutic)

Shin - Dragon Ball

Cyrus - Pokémon

Pompompurin - Sanrio

Rarity - My Little Pony FIM

…and MANY more, mainly DBZ/Pokémon related

side note I am a shipper, i like thinking about my favorite characters kissing and occasionally drawing it. not super crazy about anything rn but I was the BIGGEST Cyrus x Cynthia shipper to ever exist and am slowly falling back down that rabbit hole. My Pokémon lore is too insane. Also around 2021 I started being a huge Frieza x Android 17 fan, I have a good amount of art sitting from that time, don’t think I’ll post it LOL but if you are a Cynthius or Frie17 truther ily.

that’s about it! I’m mainly just here to chill and keep a digital lookbook of my art around. if you actually read this far, thank you for listening to the ramblings of an insane person

so long!

[avonne-writes]

can we get a peak behind the curtain :) what're you working on rn? what do you want to write? what are you watching? whats new? whats good? how are you!

Hi dear, you’re so sweet for asking, thank you! 🩷 I've been struggling with real life stuff a bit, I feel like I'm being pulled in every direction with little control over it and can’t really breathe. I'm trying to improve this but then I feel guilty and a failure if I don't satisfy everyone.

Regarding my writing, I’m currently working on my HS AU Honeymoon fic. Although I’m not making fast enough progress, I like working on it. As always, this AU is a comfort for me. 🩷

Once I’m done with this fic, I want to write something autumnal and multichaptered. Something serious. Not sure yet if I’ll start on one of the AUs I already shared on Tumblr or do something new.

I also have a lot of prompts in my inbox, all really great, so I will work on those anytime I can.

I'm not watching anything at the moment. What's good? Well, I'm trying to sleep more, so I have a hard stop on online activity at 11.10 pm now (yesterday was an exception because I had to finish that fic 😅). I'm gonna push this time a little earlier every week until I actually start sleeping 8 hours.

[sydneyscarm]

“about the blogger” meme

thank you to @bioloyg for tagging me :)

y’all don’t really know me so this’ll b fun

star signs: aquarius sun, gemini moon, capricorn rising,,, two air signs in my big three might scare u but trust my chart is earth dominant!!!! i promise!!!!

fav holiday: i love christmas! im not particularly religious, and i don’t consider myself christian or catholic like when i was a child, but i love the lights and the music and the gift-giving and general holiday cheer

last meal: lol i think i had a joint for dinner last night honestly. just forgot to eat and went straight to bed after smoking. i’m about to eat filipino spaghetti for breakfast though

current fav musician: faye webster (specifically jonny rn) and beyonce (all of renaissance has been on repeat since its release) and victoria monet (all of jaguar II is insane, grammy sweep i just know it)

last music listened to: probably ctrl (deluxe) by sza on my way home from work last night

last movie watched: taken, that action movie with liam neeson lmfao. but if we’re talkin movie theater viewing, it was the ballad of songbirds and snakes

last tv watched: i’ve been rewatching s2 of bridgerton. kate & anthony the couple that you are.

last book/fic finished: the last book was catching fire (i was rereading thg like the rest of the world) and the last fic i read was an unfinished sydcarmy fic i found literally an hour ago called all things go (all things go) everyone should read it, very good.

last book/fic abandoned: last book i abandoned was speak, okinawa. it’s a memoir about an asian girl’s struggling relationship with her mother and her culture. very good (and relatable) but extremely heavy so i took a pause on it.

currently reading: thg resurgence so i’m reading the ballad of songbirds and snakes, i didn’t get to finish it before watching the movie and i keep getting caught up so it’s taking forever to finish, but im almost done w it

last thing researched for art/writing: i haven’t full-fledged written for fandom in probably years. but i used to research a lot of fighting techniques cause i was deep in the my hero academia brain rot LMFAO

fav online fandom memory: i mostly inhabited twitter fandom spaces so in 2020 i was placed in a ship gc and i met one of my best friends on there <3 so i think that would be it

fav old fandom you wish would have a resurgence: the show is quite shit and not good at all but, for nostalgia reasons, i would love to see fairy tail (anime) have a resurgence. i bet the fics would be soooo top tier compared to when i was like 9 and reading fics on wattpad and ffnet

fav thing you enjoy that never had an active or big “fandom” but you wish it did: this is more to do w me being interested in things once hype dies down and less to do with a fandom actually being active or big, but i absolutely devoured s2 of bridgerton when i first saw it. and i read every single fic in that kathony tag.

tempting project you’re trying to reign in/don’t have time for: i don’t really write anymore and have stuck to silly posts and headcanon threads but i’ve had a pride and prejudice sydcarmy au stuck in my head for a couple days

this was fun now u know some of my life!!! im pretty sure @bioloyg tagged everyone that i come across in this fandom so ive got no one WHOMP but feel free to do this if u see it 😛

[eddieydewr]

Once the online activism devolves into whataboutism over literal terrorist acts or downright blatant antisemitism, I get pissed off. I am seeing this from a lot of the younger generation and also feel like many of them are sort of transferring a lot of the very US/western based sociopolitical problems onto this conflict, specifically calling the people of Israel “colonizers” as if the Jews haven’t been native to that land since biblical times and have just as much, if not more, right to be there than anyone, acting as if they are just western “bad whites” (ignoring that in the US especially, the concept of “white” is very very different then how it is seen in other parts of the world) coming in to oppress. They are boiling down a decades long COMPLEX situation where there currently are NO winners and both sides have done lots of wrong, into a lot of buzzwords and performative activism and very black and white thinking and seeing it fall more and more into overt antisemitism is scary. I wish at the very least, no matter what side you fall on politically, that everyone could have come together to denounce wholly that terrorist like tactics that we’ve seen are an affront to humankind and won’t be supported and it’s ok, and necessary, to denounce them. But the fact most of the people yelling the loudest won’t even do that? And actively get mad at those who do? Yea my faith in humanity is almost gone. I’m glad Noah spoke up. He’s still very young, and so he’s not going to say everything perfectly, but he also has deep ties to the land, friends and maybe even family there he’s worried about, and he literally just came back from there so I am sure part of him is shook up from the idea that he missed possibly being a part of this and dying by a few weeks! And then to see the comments on his posts that triggered him to speak up? Yeah let Noah speak because there was nothing wrong with what he said and the ones who think there is have something wrong with them. it’s ming boggling to me rn that most of the support for Jewish individuals who are upset rn is from the American political right, the kinda people with flags in their twitter bios. What an upside down world we are in rn

perfectly said. i don’t like war and i think civilians should be left out if it if countries/states are unable to resolve conflicts diplomatically. maybe that’s incredibly naive of me; i’m aware i have a westernised perspective but i also try to look at things with nuance, and i understand that the I/P conflict is decades long and incredibly complex while also acknowledging that jewish people have been oppressed and persecuted for over 3000 years.

i’m on the left and no one seems to care that the missing posters of israeli babies are being ripped down in london, or protesters chanting “gas the j*ws”. people on twitter will just say i’m not really left wing or i’m falling for israeli propaganda. 🫠

the backlash against noah is nonsensical; online activists are jumping the gun and twisting noah’s words at best, or conflating palestinans with hamas at worst. whoever wrote the post said “we” (via their insta stories) so it sounds like a group of jewish students, including noah, came together to write the post after seeing the antisemitism and the comments about the deceased young woman. noah is the one with clout, so to speak, so he’s obviously the one to post it and get the word out there. they are young students, they’re not geopolitical analysts, and they’re surely upset and shaken; so yes, the post isn’t perfect but it wasn’t wrong. hamas should be condemned, even if people think it’s what israel deserved.

sorry, i’m basically echoing your sentiments so i’ll stop here now. 🙈 thank you for the message, very much appreciated. tumblr is a hellsite but at least we’re able to discuss things without worrying about character limits or getting enough engagement.

Self Observations (Transits/Natal Aspects)

-I’m a Pisces rising and all the guys i knew who had/have Virgo Mars opposite my ascendant, all wanted to either hit me intentionally/playfully or were sexually aggressive with me. 😕 (the Mars opposition ascendant synastry) im currently talking to a guy i like online and he always tells me to stfu or is very sexually verbally aggressive w me and also because we have romantic and hot aspects in our synastry. (i have it with my brother too and he’s always been abusive towards me or i always piss him off unintentionally and just by existing ☹️)

- i think i’m starting to live my sidereal chart now in my mid twenties because i’m acting more like my sidereal rising sign, i’m composed and cool most of the time despite the chaos going on in my life, (Aquarius rising) and i’ve gained alot of hate from relatives and my coworkers, i wear black all the time too to try to hide when i go out in public, and i’m more sexually active than ever-currently going thru my hoe phase, have alot of grudges and anger towards almost everyone (Scorpio MC)

-i have Saturn in Pisces transiting my first house rn and i notice i lost alot of hair and my feet itching or hurting alot, i also just picked up an additional job to make extra $$ because i had all these financial plans/goals set up, only to have my other job reduce my hrs (due to budget cuts, and because they found out i had another job, this is my Scorpio MC where i have struggles with my jobs) i’m so overwhelmingly stressed out with work, my family, financial problems and social life ( and Saturn is gonna be in Pisces for 3 yrs 🙁)

- the guy that i talk to online who has his Virgo Mars oppositing my ascendant at a very tight orb ? yea. i’m so IN LOVE with him 😭😣..unfortunately he’s a Libra hoe and i’m so afraid of his Scorpio moon,mercury, and venus ..(my dad is a Sag with Scorpio stellium and i don’t have a good relationship w him) i’ve learned people w these placements are very manipulative, take everything personally, vindictive, spiteful, unnecessarily petty, basically all evil sht ☹️

🍇, 🍍 and 🍔 for Lauren!

(Answering these under What If! AU conditions bc that’s the story I’m working on rn btw!)

I actually have an arch planned out for this with her making some friends! But in general she’s REALLY socially anxious and struggles with making friends, so a lot of the time when she does make them shes kind of a follower, just goes with the flow and doesn’t really try to lead the group. She only ever does if she’s really comfortable with a friend or if there’s danger and she goes into action mode. Or ig if they went camping or something, yk like some activity where she was in her element and it just sort of happened naturally

Oooh ok two options here

Outside, doing some sort of physical activity, like chopping wood or maybe cooking, by a warm camp fire. She likes feeling productive and doing things, she loves the smell of smoke and hearing the crackle of the fire. Bonus points if her family are there too

In the living room with her family, on a quiet evening in just existing together. Again she’s like a fire on, smelling the smoke and listening to it crackle. She likes knowing her family are all safe and where she can see them, and having them all there means she’s more likely to really relax, lie down on the couch to watch a movie ir something yk. On family movie nights she’s got a habit of falling asleep on Johanna’s shoulder or lap (that is if Hilda doesn’t fall asleep on her first)

I think she’d hate just how fast trends go now, and stuff like fast fashion would drive her insane.

But in general I don’t think she’d take social media very seriously so she’s just find stuff like people arguing over nothing and blown up controversy and stupid memes funny, she’s at the age where out of her family she’d probably be the most in tune with online stuff (whilst Hilda’s still young that is, when she’s a little older she’ll give her a run for her money. Though that’d probably just be. Chaos lmao) so I can picture her cry laughing over some stupid tik tok or Twitter argument whilst poor Johanna is just. Confused in the background
