#they cancelled it for only ONE reason

[hisuchanly]

cancelling a spin-off about a gay man who’s really important to the main story and happens to be book author’s favorite character who has his own source material BUT green lighting a show about two str8 couples with a book releasing somewhere in the future but probably not that important to the main plot. yeahhh for that exact reason i won’t tune in.

PALESTINIAN FAMILY FORCED TO RESTART FUNDRAISING - PLEASE DONATE!

PROGRESS: £520 / £35,000

a little while ago, I was contacted by Amal Abushaban, a Palestinian mother of 5, for help regarding her Gofundme campaign.

In summary, after spending months raising over $13,000 for her family, she attempted to withdraw the money. She did everything right, she answered Gofundme's questions, she provided the details of her beneficiary and she contacted their support team - only to be left in the dark until an email came one day, notifying her that her campaign had been closed and all donations were now in the process of being refunded.

I tried kicking up a major fuss about it online, as well as trying to pester Gofundme Support on my own account, but all it did was send me in circles as I desperately pleaded for the Gofundme Support person I was assigned to at least re-instate the damn fund. Even worse, Amal got her first email today about refunds going through.

Regrettably, Amal is being forced to start over completely in her fundraising efforts. Her beneficiary has started this Paypal fund for her. Please donate and share!

PROGRESS: £520 / £35,000

I love the dynamic Julian and Jadzia have around S3 and 4 when they allowed Julian to be over his crush on her so they could genuinely be besties (extremely queer dynamic to have, wildly underrepresented imo)

Like in Rejoined when she does her lame magic tricks and Julian hypes her up so much, I think they should do that for each other. Every time Julian enters Quark's Jadzia is there like "Here is DS9's most special guy, your CMO: Julian Bashir!" and he would do the same stupid little curtsy she does when he does it to her and everyone hates it, they do this shit every night but it never gets old to them, like what is life if you're not wildly cringe about and with your friends!!

Too bad DS9 dropped the ball on their bestie era but to me it's real forever

New obsession: Godly Travelers

Okay so the Genshin rabbit hole is deep and I know I'm not the first to explore this but OH, I LOVE IT. I've been devouring genshin fics and everytime I see these things I go a lil feral

Immortal traveler who's seen millions of worlds, who's role is to witness stories and remember - it's why they were created. To travel, to witness, to tell those stories

Celestial body metaphors ARE THE SHIT: Tell me how Aether is a comet and Lumine is a star or how Lumine is the night and Aether is the sun, how they're never one without the other until they are - so the only constant universe they know is disrupted. How they've orbited each other for so long, and now they're wild and lost in a world they cannot leave.

unhealthy sibling codependence? Yep.

A traveler who cannot stay in one place. Yes, they're looking for their sibling but also, staying in one place makes the scars where their wings once were ache. Familiarity scares them. Attachment scares them. How can they be impartial witnesses once they care (but they do. They care. They don't have their sibling who they shower all their affections on, but they do have these people - these kind, wild, heartfelt people).

Tell me about this character who's eyes burn straight through the archon's soul. Who's skills and prowess impress but also terrify all who meet them. Because they may look like they belong but the world screams otherwise. Who else can carry the power of the gods but one who seeks to burn the heavens.

I want dangerous traveler - a part of them lives to fight. There is no innocence here, there's a chosen kindness.

And then give me a traveler torn in two. They want to find their twin and leave this world. They want all their friends to meet their other half. They never want to leave. They need to leave immediately. They've learned love from these people and that terrifies them. They want to attend every birthday party and festival. They know they will watch these people age and die.

They cannot fall in love, they cannot get attached, they will outlive all of these beings. That is the fate of the traveler: it doesn't matter if they choose to stay, they have to move on eventually. They have to.

But maybe for a moment that doesn't matter. Maybe they allow themselves to pretend otherwise, just for a little while... maybe they can pretend just for a little bit...

But they cannot hide the scars where their wings were or the call of the sky. They cannot fight the itch to run or explore. They cannot stop yearning for a fight - a good fight. A challenge. They cannot stop remembering.

Just... ancient-primordial-being Traveler

full on feel like pjo tv s2 is not gonna hold up so they need to drag as much attention to the series as they can by using nico as a sock puppet w tsats2

im fully expecting the show to go the way of the movies. it doesnt help Sea of Monsters is almost unanimously the least favorite book of the first series. People frequently forget it even exists or what happens in it, especially more casual fans.

Heck, just look at how little fanfare the second season has gotten so far as compared to the build up to s1. I wouldn't be surprised if s2 totally flops. It would be a little funny.

has anybody else thought about how jk could easily manage sofia's parts of slow dance or is it just me?

[rouge-fauna]

as a random not to random aside... am I the only one finding it strange that Tubbo didn't discredit Dream's claim of Tommy being racists behind the scenes?...

sorry, just something I found odd and wasn't sure if anyone else noticed. Seems weird to me when everything about Dream is being taken at face value and even the jokes Dream made in his live stream Tubbo addressed or even reprimanded Dream for and yet, he didn't address this at all?... not even with a little - "that's not true"... just seems sus to me...

not incorrect translations by any means but i guess the context is too charged to accurately convey anyway.

shiraishi's indeed asking sugimoto if asirpa is his pet dog, except it's a pun (dog here is "kai inu"->"kainu"->"ainu")

except this pun has been used on ainu for centuries and is an actively pejorative term, it's been used as such mostly because it's phonetically similar to the word ainu and it's been utilized to mock ainu people, and compare them and their way of living to animals. it's extremely offensive.

he's basically throwing a racial slur at her, to be clear. it's also why sugimoto gets very angry on her behalf, and asirpa dismisses it and says that she's used to it.

Do you think there’s a chance OPLA will make non canonical ships into canon? I saw people noticing zo/lu got a lot more obsessed with each other scenes together and said it’s possible. Or mish/anks with how the actor openly supports the ships, with likes, comments, being open to fan bringing it up. What do you think?

Nah 😭 First things first, I HIGHLY doubt our dearest (sarcastically) (derogatory) Net*lix is going to make queer couples if it's not necessary. We're lucky we didn't get the show canceled with the amount of sapphic energy Nami and Kaya had going on, honestly. Two girls holding hands is enough to get a show canceled on that platform. And if they do make queer couples canon they're not going to be between the main characters, keeping in mind how much they're risking doing so.

And also,, I don't want any of the ships to be canon, either. The whole point is to not make romance between the straw hats in canon so it doesn't take the spotlight of their development and you view their dynamics however you want. I'd be annoyed if something as awesome as the next arcs that are to come get sidelined because Net*lix wanted romance. I mean, I wouldn't be annoyed if they made Namivivi canon or at least confirm some main characters to be queer, but it just feels like they'd do it to put their "we are so woke and cool we made your favorite character LGBT" pin and then... Do nothing about it later. As per side characters, idk, maybe there are some non-canon couples here and there and I don't really care but I wouldn't want it to be with the main characters. Especially with Luffy. Do not touch Luffy.

Luffy has such deep bonds with all characters in different ways, and you can see them as romantic, but making it canon just takes away that magic by putting a label on his feelings, something that I feel he wouldn't even do.

Worst case scenario they make Vivi x Koza or Zoro x Nami canon because if Net*lix doesn't have its daily unnecessary romance in shows it dies or smth.

So I don't think it's happening and I don't even want it to happen. The next arcs are so damn good and I really don't want to have to deal with ship wars or shit like that next season.

Day 5: Photography/Makeup

Stained Lips, Stained Cheek (1.9k words)

Lights, visuals and music were all clear, all that was left for Esora to do was her makeup. She liked everything about their pre-show rituals backstage, especially since she and Yuka started dating. Kyoko and Shinobu would squabble, Esora would tease them and Yuka made sure to capture anything embarrassing. Another thing she liked was how much Yuka was able to be affectionate, even if they both get embarrassed.

Okay I have had enough salt to be probably medically inadvisable for people without my particular health issues and am feeling moderately better*! I also have another question: How do you choose a mattress when you are buying one? I think I've only ever had hand-me-down mattresses from my siblings or mattresses my parents bought when I was little (idk, I just know I was uninvolved in the obtaining), and I am thinking a new mattress might help my Slept Wrong Injuries be at least less bad, if not stop them entirely, but idk how to choose one. My dad said I'd know when I laid on the mattress but my current mattress doesn't feel bad, but clearly is? So idk that I'll be able to tell *back to my usual "muscle issue flareup" level instead of "maybe it's worth seeing how bad muscle relaxers make my blood pressure" level lol

RQG social media AU because can you IMAGINE if Hamid had Instagram?! Maybe even Tik Tok or Twitter. My man would just be thirst trapping so hard. He would straight up be:

"Today me and my friends fought and won against the horrors beyond our comphression. It's always a pleasure to fight with you guys. #LOLOMG, #friendship, #besafe" And is a picture of him in his slutiest pose with his shirt slingtly open, perfect hair, clean af, looking hot and cute at the same time... and the chaos of the battlefield on the background. He was at super low health when he took the picture. But he still did it before taking a health potion because "the light was just soo perfect, guys".
