does throwing a stone at a tank

make a child a terrorist?

is terrorism about resisting oppression? is terrorism about demanding your birthright to live safely and peacefully in your homeland? is terrorism about hating the killers of your family, your friends and your people?

accusations of terrorism are often weaponized against those fighting for liberation and sovereignty and dignity. the french settlers called the algerians terrorists. the indian government calls the kashmiris terrorists. the pakistani army calls pashtun activists terrorists. the turkish government calls the kurds terrorists. apartheid south africa called nelson mandela a terrorist. americans called the vietcong and the black panthers terrorists. the israelis call the palestinians terrorists. all oppressive regimes are connected. all oppressed people are connected. injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

The sea curse: Oh, e-gads! Barnacles form and rave from my peg-leg to my temple, tentacles breach my fleshy exterior making me ghastly. I am doomed to the bottom of her blue body never to see clean shores...

The sea blessing: Elation! The grand blue temptress has made me a captive lover; beings of the ocean permeate through me giving me shelter in her worst seas. Barnacles, tentacles and all! I'm home at the bottom of her breach. I abandon shores for her reefs.

i like sailing myths and superstitions because most of them can be boiled down to "if the ocean doesn't like you it will chew you up and spit out your bones. and if it really loves you it will swallow you whole and keep you forever. good luck 👍"

It's got sailing, pirates, seas, treasure, adventure! It's so good!

In history there is a lot of slang used to describe someone as gay and I want to expand on that for mcd.

"He is of the sea" and "He is much more ucustom to a fiddle bow than a bow string." Is a way to refer to gay men. Kul'Zak was gay and being the wanderer and the bard, a lot of his followers were queer. Again, Kul'Zaks religion is incredibly small but heavily knit much like the queer community.

"She fights with her hands", "She trimms her claws" and "She prefers to drink from the source" are ways to refer to lesbians. Menphia while being bisexual, was well known to have a female preference. She fought with her hands and while a Mei'fwa was well manicured. I also believe drinking from the source is rather self explanatory.

"They are rather companionable" and "Much like a forest, they appreciate all life" is a way to refer to people who love all people. Used to heavily correlate to Irene but as time passed she was straight washed and believed to be a Matron only.

"They are well fitting for priest hood" and "A devout part of Irene's church" is the way to describing someone who is asexual, as a lot of asexuals choose to join a church as to have an excuse for their preferences.

"She was once of pine and now of sea foam" is a way to describe a trans woman. With a lot of sea creatures having the ability to turn themselves from male to female is population calls for it.

"He is one who makes his own blades" Is a way to describe a trans man. With the sword commonly referring to male genitalia, a man who makes his own "sword" is a rather grand indicator.

"They are as fluid as a breeze" is someone who is nonbinary. The wind has no shape or gender, it exists in the world. This is also a way to refer to gender fluid people.

stealing these. if you consent.

Attempting to corral myself cause we are watching theirs stories inverted (or maybe reversed?). Erik was Mathias, and Mathias was Erik, and it took Mathias time (and Erik getting jumped) to actually stand on business when it came to defending Erik. I can also acknowledge that group think and peer pressure are powerful tools, and toxic masculinity is horrible and oppressive and all that.

But then I think about the rest of what Mathias goes through this season, and I get mad all over again. 9 more episodes of Felix straight bashing him cause he won't stop, he never does. He maybe gets outed to his parents, and his ex best friend and new best friend sleep together.

In my head canon, there's one tombstone at the churchyard on the cliff near Whitby that forever bears the epitaph:

But I am captain, and I must not leave my ship.

And beneath it lies a poor sea captain. At rest.

I went on the Waverley recently :D

Off to the beach and everything is horrible but also? Everything is blessed

[boogiewoogieweeb]

if i had a cent for every time jared harris played a veteran, harried sea captain who ordered his loyal first to have a female poc with ties to a powerful folkloric creature thrown off his ship bc of his own internalized self-loathing, i would have two cents. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

So it’s May, and apparently that’s when people start drawing mermaids. I don’t know if I’ll join in full monty, but it seemed fun to draw one today. Specifically a Peter Lorre one. I mean, there are two Lorre fishes already (apologies for my bad rendition of both in the upper corner - I was going for both the Horton Hears a Who fish and Slappy from Spongebob), so why not a merman?
