#selena support

[fortunatefires]

In case the news hasn't reached tumblr yet there is a block list for celebrities who went to the met gala (which costs 75,000 to attend) amd haven't spoken out about Palestine

Here is the blocklist. Lizzo removed after apologizing and donating. Zendaya and Selena Gomez on thin ice after an instagram story about raising money but no proof she donated and support in the past but intentional silence now

“In light of everything that’s happened in the past three months alone, here’s some incredibly valid reasons to be pissed off at Taylor Swift, or simply not like her — as someone who loved her, and loved her music. First and foremost, Taylor Swift is personally burning a hole through the ozone with the amount of CO2 she uses. That’s not even the main point of this video; but this is a graph from 2022 of how much CO2 she produced of her 170 private jet flights, versus the average person. She has spent 70 grand on jet fuel alone. Taylor Swift, alone has used 170 tons of CO2 in the past 3 months. The average person only burns like, 16 tons. That’s not even the main part of this video. The main point of the video is the fact that she has not spoken up about Palestine. And the reason that is so fundamentally frustrating is that Taylor Swift has influence. Quote Brittany Broski, when she also didn’t speak up about Palestine — “if you have a platform, and you have people listening, you have to use it.” It’s criminal to not use it, and Taylor Swift uses it. This is from September 2023. Record-breaking registration numbers from one Instagram post. Literally stating, saying “I’ve been so lucky to see so many of you guys at my US shows recently. I’ve heard you raise your voices, and I know how powerful they are. Make sure you’re ready to use them in our elections this year!” They had a 72(%) increase in 18-year-old registrations. When it comes to Palestine, she’s completely silent. And now that it’s somewhat more socially acceptable to attend Pro-Palestine events, she’s been quietly going with Selena Gomez, but I for one, think that your Instagram is perhaps the best asset you have. If not, money. And I’m sure in a couple months, we’ll learn about how Taylor Swift was quietly setting up foundations for pro-Palestine, and that she was always for the cause and she’s always supported them, but all it takes is one fucking Instagram post. Especially when Israel Palestine is fundamentally a war of narratives. It’s whose story do you believe, despite the mounting evidence that proves that Israel has continuously been doing ethnic cleansing and genocide. They are still maintaining this narrative that they are not doing that. And all Taylor Swift has to do is say “hey, 22 thousand deaths in 3 months? The most in any modern war? This doesn’t seem right.” I don’t even want her to be that leftist or radical, but literally just to ask the question to her largely American audience, when US has bypassed Congress twice to sell millions in arms aid to Israel.  Just for her to be like “Should that many kids be dying, perhaps?” The bar is on the floor, but she still refuses to do it. And the reason why Taylor Swift in particular, not because of the influence that she has and not because of the platform that she has, but why her in particular, is because the IDF continues to use her songs. I know it was a public trend, but the fact that so many occupation forces felt comfortable and confident  to make like, dance edits to Taylor Swift’s music. I think it’s so important how an artist’s music is used because when the republicans wanted to use Eminem’s 8 mile track, he was like “absolutely fucking not, I do not give you consent to do that, and I do not associate with your politics. Don’t do that.” I feel like she should know that her music is being used as the anthem of the occupation forces as they go and bomb civilians. Her, and other artists like her, like Beyonce, who showed her film in Israel, and they’re all like dancing and singing, and saying “you’re not going to break my soul”, whilst they continue to bomb the shit out of civilians have said nothing. And I hope, as I’ve demonstrated in the video, for the people who are going to be like “What’s Taylor swift going to do? She’s not a politician.” Be serious. Be serious. She has a fucking chokehold on at least a billion people. She could’ve said and done way more than what she’s done, and also the CO2 levels." (from: this tiktok*)

'Return to my embrace, Ephidel.' Lord Nergal's voice echoes, 'return to the warmth of my love.'

The promise of it continues to be all too tempting.

Celephais 28.5/30HP casts Painless World on the party! [Roll: 14 - 4 = 10; Hit] Ephidel is inflicted with -6 dexterity for their next turn.

His arms surround his creation, long fingernails dragging up their limbs and almost consuming them entirely. 'To your Master, to your God.'

Yet, again the thought is cemented in Ephidel's mind that they can not fulfill his wishes. Not of their true god, not even to the illusion of him. In both, they were a failure. They did not deserve him; but his false-master was right about one thing.

Ephidel struggled back to their feet.

Ephidel does NOT sync with the vengeful spirit of Nergal

They were not meant to heal; made only to destroy. Pasithee herself had proven as much to the morph. And then that fire began to burn within them again, and with it, a will and desire formed on their own. Outside of purpose. Outside of loyalty and servitude. Outside of Lord Nergal or the church or existence itself.

Ephidel wanted to dismantle this illusion, not for the church, but to prove the inherent treachery Pasithee saw in them. To be the thief she had branded them as months prior. To snatch away what ever they could of her remaining happiness.

Ephidel staggered forward, Fimbulvetr coalescing in their grasp.

Ephidel 10/10HP attacks Celephais 18.5/30HP with Fimbulvetr at melee range! Heartseeker activates! [Roll: 7 + 2 = 9; -2.5HP] Post-Apocalyptic Savior activates! [Roll: 1, hit! -2.5HP, Celephais 16/30HP] ; Celephais is frozen! Celephais is unable to counterattack! Poison Strike activates! -1HP, Celephais 15/30HP

The tundra strikes true, and encases Celephais in solid ice. Ephidel would find Pasithee. They would find her and destroy her with hands made only to kill.

murder is a long-term investment

i bet that celebrities supporting israel right now and insisting for no ceasefire, would make movie or documentary in like 10 years talking about how they were brainwashed by israeli propaganda and how they are so sorry and have educated themselves since and now they are better people.

i dont understand how they can write/act/perform/tell stories of liberation and freedom, only to support oppressive colonial forces in real life. they have continued to spread false allegations made by the Israeli government to create consent for genocide. celebrity culture and idolism needs to be dismantled. everyone who signed the letter supporting biden does not deserve their platform.

the people of palestine have big hearts and I won't be surprised if they forgive these celebrities one day.

im not as kind. i will never forget what they are doing right now.

[freewatermelon0]

Celebrities boycotting campaign made a lot of celebs who were silent finally speak up, but we all can see how tacky and slipshod a lot of their posts are, they disgustingly show how careless they are and how they don't have a corn of honour inside of them.

First of all, it is great that this campaign happened so that you finally remember to open your mouth and to use your damn power and so that you remember who you are and what made you.

Second of all, when you talk about it use the words 'palestine, Gaza, Rafah, Israel genocide' and so on, I mean how would we know it is Palestine you are talking about when your post is blurry and cracky and it's sort of far away from talking exactly about Palestine, thanks to the hashtag you put in the end of the post otherwise your lame way of talking about this wouldn't be understood.

And, third of all, "praying for Palestine" is not the only thing we can do, no you can't convince us with such stupidity, you have a massive power in your hands, when you talk people listen, where you point people see, so you definitely must do something with this power. Adding to the money you can donate, you are so fucking rich that you can save various families at once and your wealth will not be touched so do it, donate to the fundraising campaigns and stop acting so lame as if you don't have money enough to take you to space. (Maybe you can even talk about how disgusting it is that a person needs that amount of money to escape with his life).

The woman was right, someone definitely had to clean that mess, otherwise someone else would end up in the very same situation as Minerva. To be truth though, the red-haired princess lingered a little longer while the other woman handed her the brooch – not even noticing it was identical to hers, but you need to collect all of them, right? No? Well, too late, she was already collecting the last piece she needed to be in possession of each different piece.

She, though, didn’t catch the name of the mysterious woman, who definitely was some sort of teacher or instructor, since Minerva saw her during some of the main reunion of the staff; however, she wanted to at least introduce herself, since she suddenly realized she as well did not even introduce her name or her role.

With the string of pearls still in the hand, she called back for her, “I’m Minerva, by the way!” and while she did not expect any response, she lastly stared at the reward obtained, wondering if it could be a beginning of a new interesting acquaintance.

[ Splash ] - Amid the decorations brought in for the occasions is a beautiful three tier fountain sculpted in with Seiros in mind. Come refresh yourselves! But do try not to get soaked.

After the many drinks, maybe some fresh water could do something good for the red-haired princess, considering that it has been a while since she spent so many hours among people, food and drinks. Maybe water could erase even the suffocating sense of unsuitableness that was slowly emerging in her: with that in mind, Minerva quickly approached the fountain, ready to immerge at least an arm and get some freshness on her skin, but as she got closer to it, she didn’t notice the wet pavement right in front of the beautiful font and she almost fell on her back if a mysterious woman wouldn't catch her by the arm, incredibly managing to save her ass from the ground.

Shocked, Minerva suddenly turned her gaze to meet the one of the stranger. “You..!” she still was a bit confused, but she managed to get back on her feet by herself. “Thank you.. I wasn’t expecting that” she glanced at the fountain, wondering if it was a good idea for the very beginning. “I suppose I owe you something” and without thinking twice, she picked one of the little pearl mounted on her brooch, a brief smile as she handed it over to her.

“Thank you for saving my butt, Miss..?” she waited for an answer, not really bothering about mannerism or decorum. Alcohol was still controlling her body.

With each attraction, Selena can only find herself more and more amazed at the scale and grandeur the monastery can accomplish. Certainly, if this were Castle Renais, or perhaps Grado Keep, she could understand—those were the capitals of vast kingdoms and empires, with treasuries that amass the sort of funds that could afford these things. Central Church or otherwise, she would not imagine the home of a religion to have this sort of gold.

But then again, neither would she imagine the monastery to be home to all that it is.

She sees another slip, and it is her instinct to reach out and help—solidify your stance, balance her weight, stand strong. (Like stones and rocks and the most precious of gems–)

“It was nothing,” Selena replies, allowing the redhead woman to stand on her own (though she keeps an eye out for any signs of another fall in the happening.) “Someone ought to clean that up,” she muses to herself, making a note to alert some of the staff on duty.

At the offer of a pearl, the professor finds herself a bit surprised. “O-Oh, right.” (Though she feels a bit silly exchanging nigh identical brooches, her own string of pearls is exchanged for other’s.)

“Do enjoy the rest of your night.” (Here, she turns to find some of the janitorial staff.)

[anonymousmoth43]

For some reason my brain latched onto the idea of TransF!Damian Wayne and I just imagine her having girls sleepovers with the Sirens and doing little face masks and letting them braid her hair that's down to her chin, Selina is her cool supportive step mom that covers for her (since I imagine she's not out yet) and Pamela and Harley are her cool loving lesbian aunts.

[emblemxeno]

Can you imagine if Owain, Inigo, and Severa shared an Emblem bracelet or even just were just in Elyos for some reason with new aliases i’d love them to keep being recurring characters it’s so fucking funny lmao

where is the first king in the au bro i need him

-@crazycuttle

Here he is bro

He’s Carmilla Carmine. I thought this would work because he’s

A. Old and wise. He also has experience in battling and combat in general because (in the Rayman lore) he was around before Rayman, so the Teensies must have been able to defend for themselves

B. Going off the theory that Carmilla is a fallen angel like Vaggie, First King being an ex-Grand Minimus would fit.

C. Uhhhh cause Carmilla slays and so does First King??? I sorta had two solid points and everything else being teehee

Also, a glimpse at one of the Vees! (Or, Rhs in this case). André is Velvette because they’re both snobbish assholes who are probably one of the trends and stuff (He references Zelda in R3. Like, come on)

Like I said before, these are my opinions and ideas. Feel free to disagree ^^

Observing human behavior and learning from it was one of the most intrinsic things to Ephidel. Any time the morph could find a subject in their most candid state, he took particular care to study them.

Light-footed as he was, it was not long before Selena sensed his presence and turned with sharp reflexes. She clearly had the skills of a well worn general, but Ephidel did not flinch before her sudden attention. He merely blinked owlishly as she asked her question.

"Indeed," He spoke softly, stepping forward and beginning to roll up his sleeves for work. "I am a deacon of her faithful, well versed in the healing arts. So I was asked to assist in preparing medicine."

Chemistry was admittedly one of Ephidel's weakest areas of healing knowledge--lacking taste and bodily functions to metabolize tinctures made such work difficult--but he had begun to learn more of it from Lady Deirdre.

The morph joins the Fluorspar then at her invitation, taking up an area for his own work, and regards her one last lingering time. Staring for perhaps an uncomfortable length of time.

"... There is a meticulousness in your work." He observes, not meaning it as either a compliment or insult.

[knighteclipsed]

Even on a beach island vacation, Camilla would find a way to keep her title of “juice lady.” Where she found the supplies, for both non alcoholic and alcoholic drinks, or the cart she managed to hitch to Barbie to drag everything along with her was unimportant. It was juice time. 

Camilla paused a moment, before a mischievous grin grew across her face. “I have just the thing for you.” She made a big show of pouring his drink, mixing an absurd amount of fruity citrus drinks with two shots of a bottle labeled “forever clear.” “Nice and strong for you!” 🍹

He doesn’t have the chance to say anything before Camilla, menace the woman was, begins mixing up some sort of infernal concoction before him—a mixture of alcohol and various different juices, none of which were to Valter’s particular tastes. He is not a drinking man, and as such, he does not recognize the “forever clear” included in the poison, but even without knowing for certain—

An exhale; a half-laugh; his expression grows serious.

“ I am not drinking that. ”

And then he smiles, easy and carefree, one hand absent-mindedly passing through his hair. “ I’m simply not a fan of things that are too sweet, you know. ” (The explanation is not the whole truth.)

“ If you were willing to try it first, however, ”—(he does not know her tolerance, but if it were poisonous, she would avoid it all the same)—“ perhaps I’d consider it. ”

(He wouldn’t, but he can lie.)

is emilia perez good? who can say... but is it the weird, controversial, audacious and baffling kind of cinema that should be being made? yes probably.
