Literally an active-duty soldier in the US Armed Forces (Aaron Bushnell, may he rest in peace) has committed self-immolation as an act of protest against genocide in Palestine. X
He's last words were : "Today in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. My name is Aaron Bushnell. I am an active duty member of the US Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I'm about to engage in an extreme act of protest. But compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it's not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal."
As much as the media wants you to believe that you have become desensitised to the suffering of others, Aaron's protest should spark outrage. Free Palestine.
#aaron bushnell#self immolation#made me remember how the Arab Spring started Mohamed Bouaziziās self immolation as an act of heroic protest#sparked a whole revolution#free palestine#gaza

Thinking very hard about an AU idea of mine. Reluctant king Sabo AU!
In which Sabo isnāt saved by Dragon, but survives long enough to drift ashore and be saved by the doctors of Goa Kingdom, who do so only to ransom his medical bills from Saboās parents. Saboās parents take him back, thinking that his amnesia makes him a clean slate, but Sabo, young and stubborn and unsure of his entire identity, knows that everything is wrong and runs again, and again, and again.
Until at some point, he meets the Revolutionaries, and realizes that he can be useful to them, provide them information, make something good of an inescapable situation. From then on, he starts acting the noble that he was born as, in order to be a more useful informant to the Revolutionaries, until sunk cost fallacy hits and he believes that being a noble is the only way that he can be useful to the Revolutionaries. So at that point, why not take it all the way?
At 17, Sabo becomes one of Princess Sarieās suitors, and at 17, he has doubts about using the princess for his own goals. Sarie is a romantic, and she wants a dramatic fairy tale of a romance, and she was already charmed, but the moment Sabo opens up to her about not wanting to use her to get to the throne, having lofty ambitions of helping the people (just not the people she thinks heās talking about), Sabo becomes the one she simply must marry, because surely if she tries hard enough, she can make him love her back.
Soon after, the king and his son die. Sarieās father and brother die. And while Sabo conveniently ascends to the throne, he also swiftly implicates his father, Outlook, in the assassination of all heirs to the throne, resulting in Outlookās arrest and subsequent execution. And thus, at 18, Sabo becomes king, and begins to gradually institute great changes to Goa Kingdom.
Design-wise, Sabo wears an eyepatch because his damaged eye is considered a grotesque sight by noblesā standards. Under the eyepatch, he wears heavy makeup to hide the burn scar. These are both at the behest of his birth parents, who spin a story about Sabo having been born half blind to hide the fact that Sabo had been shot by a Celestial Dragon and save face. To those who have seen his scar, they fabricate a second secret story that he was unfortunately kidnapped as a child. Sabo never does find out, until he regains his memories, where the burn scar is actually from.
#one piece#sabo#one piece au#king sabo au#I might write something for this#I have a lot of ideas for it#I love auās where sabo helps the revolution while not being actually a member of the revolutionary army#but I very rarely see ones that I like#I am going to oc-ify sarie so much.#i think sabo would hate being king. I think he hates everything about the situation he is in#but I also think that in the wake of forgetting himself he needs some connection to cling onto#even if that connection is the extremely inspiring stranger that barely knows him but is proud of him for helping#namely dragon.#Iām still unsure where to put stelly in all of this#I think stelly gets extremely bitter when sabo starts surpassing him in everything#because he was supposed to be the successful replacement of a son#im also debating whether or not I want sabo to remember his memories before or after marineford#because the moment he regains his memories is very clear to me. I want garp to see him at the reverie and punch him.#but I donāt know if I want that to happen earlier or later

Humans learning of the androids revolution: "must be military androids and androids created for fighting that started it damn that's why we are losing"
Humans discovering the androids revolution started because of a caretaker, a prostitute, a babysitter and a teacher:
#the revolution started because of 4 androids who wanted to fight for their freedom but neither of them were built for fighting purposes#it's one of my fave things about this game#all the talks of how āandroids are more than their modelsā etc are 100% superfluous to me#because they already made it clear with the jericrew storyline#dbh#detroit become human#detroit: become human#markus rk200#north wr400#simon pl600#josh pj500#jericrew#dbh jericrew

why does every system on earth suck balls. why canāt we invent a social structure that isnāt broken as fuck. is greed always one step ahead of change or am i going crazy
#hi g-d itās me. the wrestler#why is your universe so shit#everything is backwards and upside down :/#iām starting to think the flaws are factory errors that weāll never be able to overcome#and power prevents accountability - short of revolution the only people that face consequences are the bottom half who did nothing wrong

you say machete has to be closeted then why's he always wearing them little heels
Maybe he thinks he's a tiny bit nicer looking in them.
#no in fact he's just a little ahead of the curve let me try to explain#again I'm not a historian I'm just sharing what I've read I might be misremembering stuff so don't quote me on this#high heels became extremely fashionable in the early 1600's probably just a few decades after Machete's time#and they were originally worn by men#because they were inspired by Persian riding boots#if your shoes had heels you'd have easier time keeping your feet in the stirrups (think of cowboy boots)#Europeans saw them thought they looked snazzy and they became wildly popular in noble circles fairly quickly#for some hundred years or so high heels were the epitome of class wealth power and status and they were essentially genderless#remember that concepts of masculinity and femininity are fluid and change over time#things that were seen as manly a few centuries ago may seem downright effeminate to a modern viewer#it's all matter of perspective neither is objectively more correct than the other#they started to separate into men's heels and women's heels around mid 1700's iirc but the changes weren't massive even then#and only truly went out of vogue when the French Revolution hit in 1789#and people all across the continent were suddenly put off by everything that reminded them#of the frivolousness and extravagance of royalty and aristicracy#so in his canon timeline I don't think people are looking at him and going āhmmm that's pretty gayā#because heels hadn't become gendered yet#maybe he likes how they accentuate his already tiny paws and make his legs look even longer than they are#he's interested in fashion or at least likes to dress nicely in high quality garments#he tries very hard to look his best despite never really feeling comfortable in his skin#he was a real shrimp as a kid and even though he eventually grew up to be a beanpole he might still find the extra height appealing#no one's going to look down on him ever again#I admit the way I draw them is a lot more modern than the true historical style at the time but not outrageously so#artistic freedom and all that in the end I'm not aiming for 100% accuracy#modern au Machete has no excuses though he's just a little bit fruity#if the guy feels empowered by wearing little clip cloppers let him#answered#anonymous#Machete

I've never been truly able to get on board with "if you go far enough left, you get your guns back" because I genuinely just don't think we should be mass producing weapons that can facilitate mass murder at the scale we do. like, sure, I'm not against the principle of "marginalised people and activists should have the same access to weaponry that others do, especially for protection in a state of fascism" but I just. we only have these things as a result of the military industry, finding the most efficient ways to kill. these things should never have been made. we shouldn't be producing assault rifles for mass consumption, we shouldn't be producing them at all.
so like. sure. if you go far enough left you get your guns back, I guess. but I think that's a short-sighted and disingenuous way to phrase it, when I would assume that the more "radical" leftist stance is something more akin to global demilitarisation and the cessation of mass-production of weapons (alongside a lot of other garbage made for mass consumption under capitalism - we need to de-industrialise production on a major global scale).
(I don't necessarily mean getting rid of guns "completely" because people will always find ways to engineer them, but I think there is a massive difference between a gun designed for responsible hunting or sport vs a gun designed to kill people as fast as possible, or to be wielded as a threat the way cops do.)
idk. obviously this is a very future-focused perspective and I guess the "far enough left etc." crowd are usually talking more in the present. I just have concerns that this particular piece of rhetoric encourages some leftists to be less critical of the weaponry industry than perhaps we should be.
#i know this is out of left field for me i just saw a purported leftist telling someone to buy a gun instead of voting#if they really want to 'start the revolution'#and it was like. yeah voting won't fix everything but i don't think purchasing your own personal murder tool will either#like are you gonna pull a gun on a cop? i doubt it. however many guns leftists have the government has more#a gun is power. and power corrupts. i do not want to enter into a new world where every leftist has a gun lmao#we will have commies shooting anarchists and anarchists shooting socialists and then we'll all be fucked.#the system speaks#anti capitalism

"...the next morning I was standing in the crooked stone street in front of his fatherās shop, tossing pebbles up at his window.
When he stuck his head out, I said:
āDo you want to come down and go on with our conversation?ā - The Vampire Lestat
This is Lestat courting Nicki. It sounds a lot like the scene where Armand comes for Louis in Paris, right? Throwing pebbles up at his window.
Then their conversation in the cafe about good vs evil sounds like a conversation Lestat and Nicki would have.
Those two scenes alone have me leaning toward Armand actively telepathically taunting Lestat, who may or may not be trapped in Paris at that point, with his interactions with Louis. Creating parallels between Nicki and Louis.
Then there is the line where Armand says something like a century ago, yesterday, what's time to a vampire when Louis asks him about Lestat. It sets off my suspicions.
Armand's entire approach to Louis at first, to me, seems like a Lestat/Nicki roleplay. A performance for an audience of one. A mockery of Lestat's love for Louis. A you may not love me but watch the one you love stumble right in, but this time Lestat will be forced to witness the ultimate end. Armand is a gremlin after all and what is a century to a vampire to exact revenge.
And it doesn't detract from the relationship that eventually forms between Louis and Armand. It's just that at first Armand has history with Lestat and it would be about him and their past, until it's not...but then it is...
Anyway, my point is I think we've been given hints that Armand is in contact with Lestat while he romances Louis. Either Lestat is in Paris like in the books or Armand's taunting him through the vampire hive.
Or those moments could not be hints at all but just the writers picking pieces from the books. I don't know just a thought.
#iwtv#interview with the vampire#amc iwtv#lestat de lioncourt#louis de pointe du lac#armand#brain worms#half baked thoughts#iwtv ramblings#does this even make sense#don't even get me started on the fake trials held during the revolution

Me: I want to talk about Louis de Pointe du Lac in the books and how he's constantly haunting the narrative whenever Lestat is the narrator, even when he's not physically present or Lestat isn't even consciously thinking of him, because Lestat is actually always thinking of him and remembering him and using him as his humanity compass, and...
The tiny rational part of me: can you PLEASE go to bed, you'll write a love letter to Louis once you've had more than 4 hours of sleep, I am begging you, your eyes are burning, your neck is aching, you're starting to get a headache and you're being slightly delirious.
Me: but Louis.
Rational me: LATER.
Anyway I love Louis and I love how Lestat completely adores Louis and I love how every single vampire of the Court, from the most ancients to the youngests, know that they belong together and no one should ever try to separate them.
Also Louis noping out of the entire drama with Amel and those clone guys to go peacefully read in his crypt far away from the entire drama is so FUNNY AND RELATABLE, like same mate, saaaame, I'm good reading about it, don't wanna live it, no thanks.
#rapha talks#rapha reads#the vampire chronicles#prince lestat#prince lestat and the realms of atlantis#louis de pointe du lac#lestat de lioncourt#loustat#anne rice#books#i swear louis is the only vampire with brains in this entire world#homeboy definitely understood early one that he should only deal with his own business and stay away from the insanity#or should i say he went insane in the 70s and kick-started an entire societal revolution and he didn't like that one bit#so now he'd rather be left alone to his own device and honestly he's so right#his only flaw is that he's entirely devoted to lestat but like. who can blame him.#but yeah he's the ghost he's rebecca haunting the manor and guiding the story even when he's not there#no wonder anne rice identified herself as being him or him being her i understand i understaaaaaand#oh man can someone take me out please#my mind does not want to shut up i'm tired of myself#anyway#i love louis#that's it that's the post
