#they destroy the land

additionally I’ve always been all about landback and such movements. I think that it’s very clear that an imperialist state like the US or Israel “granting sovereignty” to an indigenous population and forcing them to move into allotted slots of land is inherently a process created to legally and politely attempt to wipe them from the world or minimize them to the point that their resistance is negligible. It makes it so that if there is resistance involving any form of force, they can do things like declare war and further press their spear of ethnic cleansing.
It’s malicious. It’s horrible. It’s something they create to sanitize the injustice they’re committing and rig the game in their favor, give themselves legality to continue committing atrocities. There are many such cases as this and ALL of them are bad.
A two state solution does NOT work. This option is almost completely analogous to punitive imprisonment most of the time. I think that most of my followers know I think this but I have gotten more followers over the years and I don’t know how many of you clearly understand how I feel in general
#luna.txt#note: I’m not indigenous in the US#but I am Okinawan and I know that imperial entities worked swiftly to destroy the Okinawan identity and language#I’m also Korean and they tried to do that too#The occupying US forces have bases in all three of those locations#and I was born on the island of Oahu 6th generation#my grandma remembers when hawai‘i was not a part of the US#and was instead it’s own sovereign nation#the US annexed Hawai‘i#tourism is a mechanism of the setter colonial method#they destroy the land#colonize it with their temporary lodgings#disrespect the local people#etcetera#many such cases#you understand. I hope#I could go on but it’s not my place really#I am leering at you if you reblog this but you may#there are some people I’m more okay with reblogging this than others

you motherfuckers have no concept of what "land back" or "decolonize" even mean. you're too busy demonizing entire groups of people, terrified, shitting yourselves, that they'll do even half of the horrors to you that you've done to them for decades or centuries. this shit comes off as hella racist for real. you hate arabs so much. you hate first nations people so much. you hate black people so much. even if you sympathize with them, you can't fucking bear the idea of them gaining freedom, independence, autonomy, safety, because you're so, so scared they'll hurt you back and cause chaos in the streets. these same people who just want to rebuild. who just want to go home. who just want to see their families again. who just want food. who just want medical care. who just want dry, warm shelter. you're so focused on the ideas of colonization, of "us vs. them", of one people displacing the other for a state to exist, that you cannot comprehend coexistence, and your only idea of peace is if an entire group of people were just gone and dead.
grow the fuck up. for the love of GOD, grow the fuck up.
#eli talks#rant#i just watched a video shared by someone i'd been following a while denying the genocide occuring in gaza entirely#are you kidding. are you fucking kidding me.#the video was trying to run with the idea that “from the river to the sea” means jewish people will be expelled from the region#no the fuck it does not you stupid motherfucker that's NOT what decolonization is#anyway. land back. decolonize. from the river to the sea. peace and love on planet earth.#stop razing olive trees. stop scorching the earth. stop bombing hospitals and schools. stop destroying the sea.#if i have to see another palestinian child undergo anesthesia-free amputation im going to start being physically fucking violent#if i have to see another mother with blood on her hands wailing and begging for her child to come back im going to start burning shit#one day all the people of palestine will be free. muslims and jews and christians and all and none.#one day all the people of sudan will be free. all the people in the congo will be free. all the peoples in the americas will be free.#and all the other occupied places suffering genocides and ethnic cleansings that the news neglects to mention. theyll be free too.

⚠️ handle with care ⚠️
i love the idea of phos getting strong enough to carry more weight after obtaining their gold arms. phos would still be getting used to controlling their strength and impulsivity at this phase, but i like to think they would act more carefully around shinsha.
#houseki no kuni#land of the lustrous#hnk#phos#phosphophyllite#cinnabar#shinsha is so emotionally fragile... this level of physical intimacy and touch would absolutely destroy them... i love it...#i miss them... i'd like to draw them more again...#cinnaphos#pemprika

Crowley, the Snake of Ithaca when he was just… Bildad from Ithaca 🐐 He stole one (1) goat from all his different neighbors so that they'd think it would have been eaten by wolves (if only one is missing is not such a big deal, right?), and it worked! He ended up having one of the biggest herds of goats for free. Athena was like… damn bitch, that was smart. Blessed 👌✨
#The Snake of Ithaca#Ancient greek au#good omens#crowley#goats!!!#We considered leaving Crawly as name for Crowley before he lost his memory#but then we tought Bildad would be more funny as he was raising goats in Ithaca (the land of stones and goats xD#Bildad from Ithaca has the same vibes as Angel Crowley look at him so happy so full of hope and wonder#He's gonna be destroyed by The Plot™#tag in italiano del giorno: capre che urlano#baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

"Daddy! Mommy's is having Ellie!"
Everyone in the Batfam knows Jason keeps secrets.
Secrets he'd take to his grave a second time if he had to.
But to think one of those secrets would be about the fact he had a secret family.
And the only reason the Batfam found out was because apparently their secret (grand)daughter/sister-in-law Jazz/Jasmine was in labor and their (great)grandson/nephews Danny (Daniel) and Dan (Dante) called him while on a Red Hood job with the rest of the Batfam to panicky tell him their baby sister Ellie was on the way early.
Red Hood books it away from the fam to his bike while asking to put Kori or Roy on the phone.
Oh boy.

danny and officer martinez's relationship in "late at night, when the nightingale sings" in a nutshell:
Martinez: FREAK! GET YOUR FUCKING KID!
Battinson, on the other side of the crime scene: he don't bite
Martinez, with Nightingale firmly attached his arm, visibly biting him: YES HE DO!
*points at them* Danny is the Bugs Bunny to Martinez's Elmer Fudd.
Another Officer: i can't believe you're fighting with an actual twelve year old. Martinez: i swear to god that is not a twelve year old, that is a little hellion that crawled out of batman's shadow one dark and stormy night and decided to dedicate his existence to tormenting me. Officer: Are you really that mad about him putting a sticky note on your back-- Martinez: thats not the point
in danny's defense: the word "freak" is. a mini beserker button for him for.... obvious ghostly reasons, so like, even if its not directed at him, he still very much unappreciates Martinez's insults at Battinson. Danny may or may not be projecting.
he's not going to hurt the guy! not in any serious or permanently disfiguring way at least! But he is going to leave mean sticky notes on the square part of his spine that he can't reach, and stick salt in his 3AM Late Night Crime Scene Coffee, and kick the bottom of his heel while he's walking so he stumbles. And other petty, infuriating things that tally up and boil over, over time.
#dpxdc#danny fenton is not the ghost king#dp x dc#dpxdc crossover#blood blossom au#dpxdc memes#dpxdc au#the only thing martinez is right about is the fact that danny is. in fact. NOT twelve.#he's just shrimpy because he's half-dead#there's eventually a 'martinez vs nightingale' board in the precinct called the beef board. it tallies every time one of them gets got by#the other. danny is currently in the lead by a wide margin. martinez is very limited in what he can do bc of multiple reasons. but one#of them is the fact that batman HAS punched a cop before. three actually. and he won't hesitate to punch another if martinez actually did#anything to harm nightingale. and also nightingale shows up so rarely and doesnt stick around long enough for martinez to retaliate#or properly plan ahead. its kinda a wild card whether or not nightingale pops up on the scene.#nightingale: i am just a little guy!! the littlest of boy!! baddabing-baddaboom! you wouldn't do nothin to a little guy would'ya?#battinson who atp knows full well that if it werent for the blood blossom danny could turn martinez into a red smear: *would you?*#danny: if it werent for the laws of this land i would have committed acts of violence against You Specifically :)#and also like. every single other officer insulting batman and callin him a freak. they're not safe either martinez is just the poor sucker#that i have a name to give the face to#danny's a good kid but also i don't picture him totally.. hm... mentally stable? he's a little spicy. as a treat.#he's kind at his core but also he found his family's corpses and was isolated from society for 4 months by his abusive godfather and was#poisoned with quite literally the only toxin capable of destroying him entirely and can no longer (currently) use his powers without dying#instantly. so he's! he's doing his best! like between being chaotic and being kind he's def gonna choose being kind but also.#he's living on borrowed time and is in a constant active state of being slowly eaten alive by his own bloodstream. it weighs on ya psyche#danny's barely even processed his family's death and now he's got all this other trauma stacked on top to address. he is Windows EXP rn#tormenting martinez is just. an itty bitty way he can let loose some of the stress he's ignoring.#considering danny's alternate timeline was: world annihilation. he thinks he's doing pretty well all things considered

gollum is a little freak but I genuinely get so upset thinking about him because we know that was still a lil freaky even before he and deagól found the ring but he very well would've had the opportunity to have a good live and BE good if they hadn't. and no matter what happened afterward, he couldn't go back home. even if he confessed to his crime he very likely would've still been kicked out of his community, or at the very least socially shunned to the point where he might as well just leave anyway. the ring would've consumed him no matter what, and for no fault of his own (or at the least, no faults that would ever warrant some cosmic punishment amounting to what the ring Did to him). by the time Bilbo found him he was far, FAR past the normal lifespan of a Hobbit. After the Ring was destroyed Bilbo began deteriorating at 130, and he had only beaten the current record for the longest Hobbit lifespan by a single year. Gollum was at LEAST 3x older than that. Very likely more. No matter what happened—even if Sam was a little kinder, Faramir was a little gentler, or Frodo was able to fully reach "Smeagól" in the way he so desperately wanted to, even if he helped destroy the Ring himself, or he didn't fall into the fire—Gollum would've died with the Ring. Even if the Quest FAILED and Gollum successfully claimed the Ring like he wanted, he STILL would've died (because Sauron would have never let him hold on to that thing for hundreds of years again, if his body could've even handled that). There is no reality where Smeagól would have a happy ending, whether he was "redeemed" or not. Yet all of it was such a fundemental factor in the success of the Quest (and even Bilbo's success during the Quest of Erebor). Definition of Doomed by the narrative
#I'm so fucked up about this#gollum is one of the most tragic characters in the entire legendarium#I would argue even MORE so than Frodo#by all accounts he was a (mostly) average hobbit with the prospect of a good life ruined by incomprehensible evil out of his control#his fate was sealed the moment he found the ring and there was next to nothing he could do about it#at least frodo had his family and friends and their wisdom and support and the opportunity to heal in the undying lands#although bittersweet frodo ultimately had a good ending#but smeagól died believing he had no friends or anyone who even saw him as a person#doomed to be forever remembered as the wretch who bit off frodo's finger and destroyed with the ring that destroyed him first#I'm unwell#(also Gollum did NOT actually eat any babies. those were just rumors spread by the Woodmen. like a boogyman story)#(there's no more truth behind them than the rumors in the Shire about Frodo's parents trying to kill eachother)#Gollum was freaky but he wasn't THAT bad#my post#text post#lotr#lord of the rings#the hobbit#smeagól#gollum

so, its pretty rough and by far not complete but this is a rough layout for the map of destiny (my zelda fancomic), i mainly took it after skyward sword but added parts of botw into it (like lanayru street, the twin mountains that were one mountain until ch3, the gerudo highlands, akkala ref; among more general map overlap)
this ones with some super rough chapter markers and some descriptions, the circle doesnt mean the chapter doesnt go to multiple places but the main happening of it is there, its again, pretty rough and lacks the correct order yet too, ill prob add that with time as i write out the scripts for the next chapters, so far i got the order until chapter 6 (chapter 4 is mostly at hylias temple and since there are alot of chapters happening there its not marked seperately)
chapter 1: demon (complete)
chapter 2: a dance of ice and fire (script done)
chapter 3: moving mountains (name not final)
chapter 4: starry night
chapter 5: a wound for a wound (placeholder name)
chapter 6: curiosity (possibly placeholder name, forgot to mark it on the map even tho i know where it goes)
most other chapters i know where and whats happening but i cant remember the exact order, i gotta make a structured chapter chart soon so i dont have to think over everything every single time i need the order
this is probably not very interesting but, even tho it is just a rough layout more for myself than anything else, i thought id share anyway, i know my handwriting when i write fast and tired is hard to read but uh .. feel free to send me an ask about it if theres anything youd like to know (do mention if you are ok with spoilers for the story)
#ganondoodles#zelda#art#tloz#skyward sword#wip#making maps is hard#in general i pulled the map of skysw apart since its not evne really connected on its own map#and put some botw refs into places that arent too far from where they are in botw but also so they make more sense for skysw#also lanayru is not a desert yet tho that process has started due to hylia building what she is supposed to#... in my hc the mining of time stones takes the life out of the land since those stones are made from concentrated spirits-#-that slowly give out their energy and its all a delicate balance#which is destroyed by hylia+ mining them en masse to create the portals#that hc is also based on my hc that luminous stones eventually turn into timeshift stones bc spirits of the dead and all#anyway#yes there are actual cities and towns in skysw#its before the game anyway but like#the handful of people in the sky are not enough for me lol#and gerudo already existed too#maybe bado(groose) is like a half gerudo and thats why hes got red hair

"I have the blood of Akasha in me."
I have a lot of thoughts on this scene. I think the meaning of it is much less straightforward then it appears.
First, "he doesn't know what that means" had to have been said to Armand, not Louis. It would make very little sense for Louis to know about Akasha and Armand to be the one in the dark.
Much of this conversation was between Lestat and Armand, with Louis not quite understanding what's actually being said.
Even though he has Akasha's blood, Lestat is not invincible. Not even close. Lestat absolutely can be killed, Armand probably could have done it that night. If Lestat was as powerful as he's suggesting, the trial would never have happened. Claudia's plot absolutely would have succeeded had Louis let her toss Lestat into the incinerator.
Lestat knows it. Armand knows it. The point of Lestat name dropping Akasha is not I am so powerful you can't step to me, try and you'll die. The fight Lestat's putting up is entirely psychological. Lestat's tactic against Armand here is essentially the same one Louis uses against Lestat a few minutes later.
There is only one place Lestat could have learned the name "Akasha". There is only one person who could have taken Lestat to her. Marius.
Your Maker is alive. I've met him. He told me of Those Who Must Be Kept. He took me to them. He let me drink from them. He never did that for you. He never bothered to find you. He never loved you. Now go run off with Louis, I won't stop you. I don't have to. It'll end on it's own because just like me, just like Marius, Louis will never love you.
This is what's actually being said in this scene.
#armand won this round between the two of them#but lestat landed a critical hit at the end#you're a gremlin that destroys everything you touch armand#and nobody - not even your maker - will ever love you#louis committing himself to armand for an eternity in front of lestat was a blow worse than death#and lestat dealt the same punishment to armand (or at least the closest to it he could manage in that moment)#lestat de lioncourt#armand#amc iwtv
