The Iranian missile attack on Israel last week consisted of about 200 missiles. Each of those cost about a million dollars to produce. This means that the Iranian government thinks **200 million dollars** would do more good exploding over the sky somewhere else than being used for welfare, education and infrastructure inside Iran. I wonder how many Iranian lives that is in car accidents and cancer medicine. Every rocket shot by Hamas costs about 800$ to produce. By a very conservative estimate they averaged spending about 700,000$ a year between 2001-2021 just on rockets. They also spend about 300 thousand dollars for a kilometer of underground tunnels. They likely have about 800km. That's 240 million dollars. I'm not even counting other war spendings right now. I wonder how many parents wouldn't have had to wait for permits getting their children heart surgeries in israeli hospitals. I wonder how many impoverished young people could have received scholarships to become engineers and musicians and climate leaders and architects. I wonder what relations of mutual growth a thriving Gaza could have built with both Israel and Egypt. I also wonder how many disabled people won't receive financial aid, how many schools would go underfunded, how many people will die in understaffed hospital wards in israel this year because some rabid militarist decided this money is better spent killing people abroad to perpetuate the pointless cycle of retaliations. I'm also furious at all of this. And so fucking tired.

#israel #iran #lebanon #palestine #“The best revenge is living well” apparently only applies to individual?#Spiraling into oblivion #war #Today is shit so I'll keep posting about how much I hate it all #Why is it so much easier for people to go along with destroying rather than building?#look I can argue about taxation being theft but can taxation please not be murder and self mutilation?#This same money going to guarding the houses of violent religious fanatics who shouldn't even be there isn't better btw #or to fucked up 'show of force' parade in Jerusalem lets cut that shit out too.#Seriously how can those even be priorities in a climate crisis world that still has forced child labor?

Id love for a soft reboot of warriors and Arc 9 to begin, if ASC ends with new leaders and code changes, four/five generations on in the future with a whole new set of cats and lore

#it wud allow for so muhc like world building likethe stuff mentioned about ‘we say we never go hungry here’#it would let them make locations have names and traditions and stuff. like shadowclan playing ice hockey again #or windclan starts tunnelling again. just like #skip ahead and start fresh #warrior cats #just think about it. they can just create random shit without it feeling super janky as it kinda does rn

is women's hockey a thing? cause i can totally see aggressive no-nonsense hockey player lily who had a brief thing with barty and tries to woo fairy princess figure skater pandora out of spite but actually finds she really likes her. bcs of that forced proximity shit or whatever barty and lily are not on i-catch-you-in-public-ill-rip-out-a-vital-organ terms anymore.

i'm sorry because the pandalily content in this ask is legit amazing but... the way that figure skater!barty & hockey player!lily would interact is making me fucking INSANE

no-nonsense women's hockey player lily. she's this hassled team leader with a lucky mouthguard and a sweaty ponytail. and barty keeps gracefully (gracefully!) swanning up with his fuckass thermal pullover and tongue piercing? to condescendingly pat her head??

she throws a dasani water bottle at his head in the middle of olympic village and it goes viral on snapchat. his hotel room is right next to hers and he always makes sure to be LOUD AS FUCK when kicking his nightly hookups out. they keep catching each other doing insomniac stress-stretches in the hallways at 3am?

i think SHE calls HIM "princess" but is continually surprised by how fucking built he is whenever she sees him at the village gym. he's an entire foot taller than her. he has an Adidas sponsorship & hers is with Nike but they both want to swap. she looks unfairly adorable putting KT tape on her calves? they definitely have a blood feud but he ended up being the person sitting with her in the nurse's office when a puck knocked her tooth out during practice?

#olympics au #also i raise you: MARY X PANDORA ON ICE !!!!!!!!!#Im still thinking extremely hard about hockey!evan. the way he’d interact with this lily too??? it's very different than normal?#The lilyrosekiller potential here is actually fucking NUCLEAR holy shit. THIS AU? GUYSS?????#bartylily #this ask is great. 10/10 contributions you changed my life let's build this world together

Arlecchino's whole deal is unbelievable

Arlecchino: Huh I wonder what's causing my weird powers? I can't really worry about that right now tho, I've gotta become King and then kill my "Mother".

*Kills Clervie and "Mother"*

Arlecchino: Huh I wonder why I was able to defeat a Fatui Harbinger when I'm like 17 or so? I can't really worry about that right now tho, I've gotta be in jail and become a Harbinger.

*Is in jail for a while and becomes a Harbinger*

Arlecchino: Huh I wonder why I am-

Pierro: Hey what's up hello, anyways you're descended from the Crimson Moon Dynasty of Khaenri'ah. I'm sure that this is a lot for you to take in so-

Arlecchino: Ok.

Pierro: ...You're just cool with that?

Arlecchino: IDK maybe? I can't really worry about that at the moment, I'm a father now. This orphanage full of children I love (who also are child soldiers and are not allowed to leave or else I'll execute them except maybe now I'm just gonna wipe their memories IDK I'm morally complex) isn't gonna run itself.

*Runs the orphanage/spy recruitment initiative*

Me, the fucking player: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ARE KHAENRI'AN? WHY WASN'T THIS BROUGHT UP IN YOUR FUCKING QUEST?? OR ANYTHING ELSE????

Arlecchino, talking to me through my phone: I honestly don't know why you care, I'm too busy to give a shit. Anyways, I'm gonna go fight fate itself I guess. I'm sure that I don't share any thematic parallels with any other Khaenri'an characters (particularly as it relates to acting and family angst) and that I haven't made the idea of 'curses' on Khaenri'ans and what they entail even more complicated than they already were. See ya.

#arlecchino #genshin impact #pierro #WHY IS THE GAME FUCKING GLOSSING OVER THE FACT THAT SHE IS KHAENRI'AN?!#Not only that but she is the first Khaenri'an we've met (that we know of) who's from the Crimson Moon Dynasty #I'm so fucking confused #Did Celestia place a DIFFERENT curse on members of the Crimson Moon Dynasty?? Or is this stuff all of them can do???#HELP #She also seems almost...uninterested in the fact that she's descended from Khaenri'ah. Which honestly I think is interesting.#I don't know if I like it yet but when every other Khaenri'ah character has one of their major traits being that they super fucking #care that they are Khaenri'an (whether that be Kaeya with his paranoia/destiny/duty or Dain with his guilt over his failure/desire to #prevent our sibling from fucking with anything too much or whatever the fuck is going on with Pierro)#having a character who is Khaenri'an but doesn't seem to particularly be invested in that part of themself is different #she cares more about the curse and its effects on her then she ever really cares about the Crimson Moon Dynasty or the cataclysm #IDK I think it's neat from a character writing angle. or at least it has the potential to be if the writers do a good job.#But from a 'I like maybe 3 things in this game and one of them is Khaenri'ah' perspective it SUCKSSSSS #That part of the plot is already suffering from chronic live-service storytelling disease where people just straight up don't tell you #shit that they logically SHOULD BE TELLING YOU because the game needs to save plot points to build hype around #so for one of like 4-ish (depending on how much we count Albedo) Khaenri'an major characters to give us literally 1 and 1/2 voicelines #kinda sucks ngl. but again it's also interesting and realistic for Arlecchino and from that angle I like it #she doesn't care about what fate says her place in the world is. she's gonna carve her own and being Khaenri'an isn't relevant to #the life and identity she has built for herself. she isn't the type to look for answers she doesn't need. she's practical and efficient.#at the very least it's better than when Albedo 'I want to find all the world's truths' Kreideprinz doesn't let the audience in on his stuff

I'm actually so obsessed with him it's not even funny if i'm not listening to a TikTok or music directly related to him I can't focus free me free me

This is @/cherubpuppet's OC for a object show [au? pitch? wip show? How do I categorize this] and I've been destroyed by the fact that ruler art is infinitely superior [and 10x longer] and i don't have a good enough grasp on lip gloss's personality to make fanfiction so I am frozen in "want make fanart but fanart takes effort :["

#also object shows are the new mlp community change my mind /ref #from what ive seen a very large part of the community is centered around death/gore or mature topics? it reminds me of the mlp infection au #that and smile hd and everybody keeps saying object shiws are kids shows - if kids are making this stuff then good for them /gen #every fandom has its toxic/proship/18+ side obviously but from my pov gen alpha needed something they coudl handle age appropriate extremes #with - its just alot harder to make compelling emotional angst/gore with newer ultra sanitized shows or w/ mascot horror #and like thats a whole nother tooic but its obvious to me younger kids have flocked to mascot horror so harshly because average kids tv is #much more afraid of tackling any big topics to the point that the ones that DO [bluey] immediately are pushed into front and center #but i mean i also rewatched a few episodes of the shows i grew up with and ngl i think we need shit like ren and stimpy and invader zim #i hate ren and stimpy and i didnt grow up with zim but i grew up with pbs kids shit and that shit looking back was hella boring i never #cared for any of the tv shows i saw aside from elmos world and even then i was hoping that something gorey would happen. at like 5 yrs old #im rambling anyway im not sure if im actually going to get into the os communitg but i AM horribly attached to tape to the point that its #maybe possibly becoming harmful to my mental health so im gonna stick around for him for like months #just know that if im not posting anything its because im obsessed with this guy #oh also DID/MALE SA REP LETS FUCKIN GOOO #I LOVE PSYCHOLOGY AND IVE HAD LIKE 4 FRIENDS WITH DID/OSDD I NEED MORE POSITIVE REP OF STIGMATIZED/COMPLEX DISORDERS !!!!!#art #tape dispenser #search for smos #talk talks #EDIT NO. NO DONT SAY IM THE ONLY PERSON ON TUMBLR WHO HAS USED THE SMOS TAG NO. OH MY GOD #PLEASE BEING OBSESSED WITH SOMEONE ELSES OC IS SO GARD DONT LEAVE ME ALONE DO I NEED TO BUILD THIS FANDOM FROM THE GROUND UP??? NOO

Ooh what's barbarian Figs subclass

m flipfloppin between giant and totem (def reskinned) for her rn! giant would be Really funny for junior year and there's some thematic stuff for the transformation element I think would be interesting, but just purely on a character basis I think fig would love totem esp. as a barbie girl in freshman year. if I land on totem I kinda imagine it like a wuxia animal style thing tbh, mostly just because the idea of someone coming into a fight expecting typical movie shaolin choreography and getting Teenager That Mauls You To Death is entertaining to me

#not art #fh class quangle #the main appeal of the path of giants for fig is that it puts her So Tantalizingly Close to porter's grasp #but fundamentally he will never be able to convince her bc she just does not respect him lmao #barbarian!fig's junior year is about building new. thinking about the after of destruction. rebuilding her own self perception after #letting go of the thing that's motivated her through the last two years #(which is the ownership of things that the world refuses her due to who she is. like a certain kind of femininity or companionship #some of which grow to become limiting and ill-fitting for her but she's gone through a Lot of destruction to keep them so #she's unwilling to let go of them. that's sophomore year babeyy)#barbarian!fig almost zealously upholds self-determination AND she's hyperaware of her friends' business #coupled with cleric!gorgug being a high control group victim and being So sus of the shit porter's on. ohhh fig would Hate him #meanwhile the path of the totem warriors I mostly just hesitate on bc the language is. bad. lol #like barbarian as a class is already fraught with modern fantasy ahistorical bullshit. totem warrior is especially egregious #and idk if I can be bothered to like reskin it for this one thing and every time I mention it add on a tag that explains my reskin #like at a certain point it feels like stepping out of the ''playing with specifically a d20 property like dolls'' box and entering the #''doing labour for wotc for free'' box. and at that point it stops being fun for me #well. I simply must sit on it for a bit. we'll see how it turns out!

Cap's got a new voice claim! feat. a tiny bit of Sparrows n her's unchanged vc because 1. it's cute to hear them together and 2. I snorted. The vibes are so different

[songs: So Familiar by Jean Castel and Driving Myself Home by Rose Betts]

#rw #oc tag #oc: caper of euros #oc: three sparrows #philosophy sessions au #ramble time. kai ninyago as Capie of Rossie wasn't Bad but i've been working on him lately- like looking into his faults their causes their #-evolution and what role he's supposed to play beyond Row's death (esp. in Preacher's life (Euros manages to be terrifying for the kid))#n i came to the conclusion that he didn't sound Sharp enough. and bratty but like in a teenager boy band kind of way. oh he'd hate that-#-kinda music </3 fuckin european posh kid #the ''tragedy'' of 'Ros on here is that back when i was answerin questions with the chars 'Ros n 'Row were constantly together and that-#-didn't allow them to really show who they are because they bring out the best in each other. Sparrows is braver with him having her back-#-and he's not a rude fucker (one of the reasons i turned off asks is cuz i figured they weren't actually helpful. only stressed me out n-#-as result the world/character building became lackluster)#Euros is still a silly guy who's scared to hurt someone/thing physically! (his inspos are kai ninyago s0kka and kuzc0 so)#but ill be damned if i let any of my characters be *just* a silly guy that is fucking obnoxious #each of these fuckers is a psychological experiment. also sick shit: new 'Ros vc is french apparently :)#he can sing Zephyr songs in Her Tongue™... get it anime chin boy get that multilinguality

it took me a full decade from first playing origins to bring myself to do it. but you know. theres something about the narrative of being an asshole, thinking that the village of Redcliffe will get along just fine without you or get what they deserve, and coming back to find the town utterly deserted. to be raved at, rightfully, for leaving them alone when you could have saved them.

something about Some Guy discovering, very suddenly, that the consequences of their actions will be vastly larger now than ever before, and being forced to reckon with that responsibility...what a good moment to begin redemption. what a tragedy.

#normally i play asshole as in I Tried To Kill My Brother And Was Exiled #or i just straight up play a good person because thats what i enjoy #but i kind of. REALLY like this narrative im building #brosca who by nature of the game not letting you do shit for the other castless i am playing as inured to the horrors of the world #and thus unsympathetic to the plights of others until suddenly faced with her own culpability in suffering #i love u babygirl #dragon age

if you're wondering how i'm taking mizu5

the answer is "badly"

#i feel really sick #idk i already explained my thoughts as best as i could on twt and i'm really upset and it all just kind of hurts rn idk if i can reiterate #four years of build-up right into a devastating cliffhanger that quite literally removes mizuki from the game's real world #and changes her menu sprites and voicelines #and of course the most pressing concerns were not really addressed #and it's just oging to be like this for at least a month #and after all this they're going to segue into akito5 vbs beach episode or whatever like ??????#FUCK YOUR STANDARD EVENT SCHEDULING. FINISH THIS MESS RN HOLY SHIT #i say mess i don't know if it's a Mess (BECAUSE IT'S A FUCKING CLIFFHANGER) it might still turn out well #but sitting with this is making me feeel fucking horrible i can't do it #i don't think i've ever experienced a media going from a source of comfort to a source of discomfort in the span of like 3 minutes #whiplash #i genuinely. hhhhhhhh I FEEL SICK AND THIS ISN'T A FUNNY HAHA JOKE #if i knew how to let myself cry i'd be crying a lot rn #sega pay me for emotional damages

My DID-having ass is experiencing so much world-envy for the fictional country of Vaugarde I'm going to throw up

#Didn't realize how much I needed a society built around the concepts if change and reinvention but holy shit I do. I need it so bad.#The legally normal concept of being given multiple names to transition between or change to...#the societally accepted and easy ways to craft a new body...#the traditions built around reinvention and throwing away aspects of your old life that you wish to discard #that also acknowledge that reinvention involves the destruction of something else. & the grief from yourself or others that comes with that #literally have never resonated with anything to this level and I am YEARNING #like. my life would literally be so much easier in that society #the fact Vaugarde also highly values queerness of all kinds only helps #going insane over this world-building tbh konda wanna overthrow my government & rebuild my country in its image tbh #I am Decidedly Not Normal about this fake country #no spoilers if you respond to this btw. Not done with the game #In Stars And Time #hi dev I know you have a tumblr so if you see this: I love you #thank you for creating this world and letting me have a peek into it #they say we can't build a better world if we can't imagine what that world would look like and #now i can. I know what my ideal world looks like.#textpost

The Lab AU idea seems super interesting, maybe some more art of how exactly the experiments work for everyone? Or maybe art of Sonic being a big bro to Tails and Amy?

hope this is legible! unfortunately rouge is still a work in progress so ive decided not to include her. im stumped on what her ability should be, but i do have a lot of other ideas involving her AND shadow so they'll get their own post in the near future

i tried to draw something for your second request but my hand wasnt cooperating, sorry!! but dont worry youll be seeing a lot of the three of them later on :3

My main Tav's at the beginning of their journey's with a wiggly Tadpole. The Archfey - Visiting one of her beneficiaries in Baldur's Gate The Dark Urge - Running a mission against her will The God Killer - Forced into Realmspace, 'where you're useful'
