#this is not to anyone who currently follows me or that I follow

[coeurify]

“it’s november.”

the words have you jumping, the unsolid, rounded edges of the stool you’re currently standing on wobble with the movement of your foot. a squeak follows, rushing to find your balance— which is fine so by pressing your hand against the wall you were trying to reach the top of.

the hand that’s currently holding a string of multi colored christmas lights, the green trail of side dropping below you, your stool and the wall you had already pinned them to.

“it’s november,” the voice repeats— belonging to your girlfriend ellie, who walks behind you and peers up. the sweater she wears is pushed up to her elbows, pooling the cloth in a way that makes her look a little silly. as silly as the tone of voice she uses as she continues her obvious teasing. “and you’re already putting christmas lights up?”

your lips pout out immediately at the words, huffing as you press your sock clad feet. “november is almost over el. this is an absolutely valid time to put these up.” you wave your hand holding the clump of lights around, much more steady on your little wooden stool you were using for some added height.

“babe, thanksgiving hasn’t even passed,” ellie continues— and you can see her shaking her head even out of the corner of your eye as your head turns back to the wall— jaw clenching as you press up on your toes again to hand the light over the next pin. the small chuckle that the sight of you struggling to reach the spot seems to bring only annoys you more— head snapping to look over your shoulder with a look ellie liked to call your ‘scary eyes.’

“you can’t even— baby you can’t even reach. how did you get all that up?” ellie tries not to laugh but she can’t help it, the bursts of giggles slipping from her lips before she can stop them, green eyes trailing over the soft and cozy living room you two shared. somehow, alone with your little shitty stool.. you had covered at least half of the room while she was napping. “let me help,” she offered, a hand reaching out to steady your leg.

“no!” you complain, kicking your leg out a little to shrug off her hand. it only brings the wood below you to rock some more, which makes ellie grip a little harder. “you’re being judgy. i don’t want your help.” you sound petulant, maybe a little hurt by her amusement that you were doing this now.. alone.

“i am not being judgy,” ellie soothes her hand over your leg as you reach forward and successfully hook the sting of wired lights over the next spot. “you are, and you’re basically the same height as me— you can’t reach shit either.” you continue, the dig at her height a teasing one, paired with an eyebrow raise and fleeting glance back at her.

“ow?” ellie’s free hand clamped over her chest in faux hurt— the ragged cut strands of deep auburn hair shaking with her head. you find yourself watching the movement and fighting away a smile. “i meant by keeping you steady but if you wanna be mean i can totally let you do it all.” ellie pinches your leg over the fuzzy sweatpants you’re wearing. if it was anyone else you might be a little worried she was actually hurt.. but you can hear the humor seeping into her words and drawing out her sentences.

“fine,” the sigh that comes with the tingle word makes it seem like this decision was just absolutely the most difficult one you’ve had to make— the dramatics always evident. “i guess you can help. but only if you quit saying i’m doing it too early.”

honestly, you had planned to finish this little light hanging before she was done with her nap. she worked a long day with joel, you wanted to surprise her. and okay.. maybe you had seen one or two too many videos about the holidays that had given you the itch to decorate something and right then. but clearly the surprise element was lost, and ellie’s sarcastic taunting had replaced it. so now maybe you’re doing it out of spite. who knows, maybe you’ll even put on the santa clause after.

ellie’s fingers raise to her mouth, fake zipping them and nodding quickly. the urge to roll your eyes is one you act on, scoffing at her before you turn again and feel the steady warmth of her hands on both of your legs now, shifting you a little bit further down the wall for the next spot.

your lip falls between your teeth again, toes straining against your feet as you push as high as you can to get the next spot and—

“okay but you can admit most people wait for after thanksgiving right?”

“ellie!”

i wanna make a rule here about something that i've been chickening out about for like six months now, so i'm gonna give u the rule and then rationalize the rule for everyone, specifically myself:

if you're following me here on the multi then you need to be following me on @clochanam too.

now, i'm going to explain this and post as fast as possible before my anxiety overrides the part of me that's been fighting this rule for the past six months.

basically, and i KNOW there's not many of ye who this applies to, i want to stress that actually, like i KNOW 90% of y'all follow me on both blogs and i love you so so so much for that. but this is more for the people who aren't, and the people who may follow me in the future. aisling and the diner squad are one unit. i separate them because the vibes are different and i prefer to have them this way for many reasons, it's not relevant to this post but ANYWAY! these two blogs are not only affiliated, they are the same exact thing. they're the same universe, the same family, the same everything.

i literally have aisling's kids, aisling's dads, aisling's home and workplace, her enemies, her whole world is divided between these two blogs. and i don't want that to be misunderstood. so from now on, this is a rule, and i appreciate all of you so so so much, because once again, this isn't aimed at anyone other than the people who may choose to follow me in the future, like this explanation is just to calm myself down but i'm gonna stop typing now bc i'm just talking a lot to avoid questioning how reasonable this rule is.

Current Events in Silm fandom rlly reinforce my feeling that, despite claiming an ethos of acceptance/tolerance of anything that doesn't hurt ppl, a lot of ppl in the section of Silm fandom I frequent do follow a set of socially-agreed-upon mores about what concepts are "not acceptable" to discuss or propose (or the ways in which certain topics must be discussed to be acceptable), that you all seem to have agreed on despite the things those mores restrict not being harmful to anyone.

And when someone does say smth that violates those mores, the response is disproportionate to the amount of harm done (which is typically none, imo). I know it's tempting to say "but we just want people to be comfortable and safe", but treating ppl badly for the sin of sharing thoughts you dislike is NOT the same as preventing people from doing things that are harmful. The former is much more of a harmful behavior than the sharing of the thoughts that sets it off. Fannish etiquette, people: you shouldn’t act like someone’s meta makes them morally suspect just because you disagree with it; save the “this is morally bad” for things that are ACTUALLY harmful. We're all stuck on this website together & if you want to have any sort of community, you need to ACT like you're in a community, and that means letting other people say things you dislike. Block them if you need to! I block people all the time because i know it's better for me AND for them if we can both blog in peace.

I am not particularly comfortable with the young-queer-on-tumblr silm fandom rn due to this tendency to rebuke things that are uncomfortable rather than harmful. Maybe that's fine with you. But if your goal is to make all fans feel comfortable and accepted, you need to actually do that. If your goal is to make people who share your unwritten rules comfortable in your space, you need to admit that, and write those rules down, and curate your space so it follows them.

Edited 8:10am PST to clarify the specifics of the behavior I find concerning.

i know their wretched twitter our blessed tumblr. but honestly ive been enjoying everyone actually using bluesky and just the constant stream of activity because everyone is trying to rebuild over there

ive also been having fun figuring out and making feeds that do exactly what i want

[medicinemane]

I don't know... horrible things happen all around the world and it's not a competition

Atrocities are committed against multiple groups in multiple parts of the world at the exact same moment, and none of them erase each other. They all matter, all the people in this world who are being brutalized matter. There shouldn't be any line you draw where one group doesn't actually matter as much as another

You're welcome to prioritize your energy towards helping one group or another, but what's not ok is invalidating or dismissing people who are actively being harmed

Same goes for trying to figure out which social group has things worst (and lets be honest, always using a US lens)

Like... maybe the important thing is to prop each other up and help everyone get on their own feet rather than trying to... pick fights about if physical disabilities or mental illness are less respected (I'm trying to pick a more absurd example but sadly I've seen exactly that argument happen before). Maybe it doesn't really matter and what matters is helping who we can when we can

I'm tired of it, I'm just fucking tired of it. Support people, champion them when the world is just brutalizing them, but you don't need to throw a single other person under the bus to do that

Which seems to be an absolutely impossible lesson for people to learn

[minediamonds]

Not to get too political on main, but just want to say that this blog fully supports the freedom and human rights of the Palestinian people. And doesn't want any Zionists following.

This got very long so I'm putting it under the cut. But if anyone wants to read, I would appreciate it. <3

(Any good faith questions are welcome, but hate is not. <3 )

Including those who are both sidesing a genocide, and denying that it even exists, and who for some odd reason think it makes sense to act like the Palestinian people should just give up and die, and live in "peace" with people who want to eradicate them. Like...obviously, none of this is me being against Jewish people. I just want to make that very clear. Cause, I'm not. Being against the Israeli government and a state that is inherently unequal does NOT equal being against Jewish people. I hate to act all 'facts don't care about your feelings', but like...it's a fact that the Palestinian people are being slaughtered right now and like...sorry if you're justifying or both sides-ing that and acting like it's oh so "complicated," I don't want you on my blog. Obviously this does NOT excuse harm of any innocent people. That's the whole point. Harming innocent people is always wrong. But who has more power to do that? That's right, Israel! So like....maybe don't act like people aren't allowed to criticize a government currently committing genocide. (And if you're about to say "but Hamas" or "but it's not genocide", bye. Two wrongs don't and never will make a right, and it so is a genocide, what else do you call it when people are killed for who they are and collectively punished for the actions of some? )

The thing is, if people aren't "allowed" to criticize Israel, that's ridiculous, to be honest. That's like saying we can't criticize Iraq or Iran because that's Islamophobic, or that it's anti-Christian to criticize the US government. No one ever says those things , though. And I'm glad, because no government should have a shield like that to hide their worst actions behind. Every government is allowed to be criticized. And when I criticize Israel (as plenty of Jewish people do too, btw), I do so only because I believe in equality for all people and don't think committing genocide is ever justified. And if you think it is, sucks to suck, but that's not me. I would never think it's right to punish all people of a group for the actions of some of that group. Because that's just wrong.

Also, tbh, what are the Palestinian people supposed to do? They can't peacefully protest (I've heard Israel hates that), they can't do anything except give up apparently and because they don't want to do that, they are hated. I don't believe any innocent people should ever be harmed, but that absolutely includes the Palestinian people. And I don't understand how people on here can go "but Hamas!" Who cares? I don't. Like...even if Hamas is pure evil, that will never excuse painting all Palestinians with the same brush. That will never excuse genocide. And tbh, IDC if people hate me for this post. I said what I said, and I am proud to support the Palestinian people's freedom. (BTW, according to actual Palestinian people, that means supporting them getting their land back. The Israelis who can live with that, I'm sure can stay. But it's not up to me, tbh. It's up to the Palestinian people. And anyone who thinks they're going to slaughter all the Israelis....well....I highly doubt that. The most is they'd have to go back to wherever they're actually from or just live somewhere else. And tbh, I think after all the Palestinian people have been through, they deserve safety and freedom and happiness. If you don't ,why don't you?)

It is considered Zionist to be all like "there is no genocide and also Hamas exists," btw. For those who are unaware. And like...I really don't understand that "logic". Because like I said, Hamas could be pure evil, it would not excuse what Israel is doing in return. They're slaughtering innocent people, including children! And if me criticizing that is considered bad/wrong, then fine. I'm bad/wrong. At least my conscience is clear. At least I'm not supporting genocide. At least I'm doing what I believe is right, regardless of what others think.

Anyway, just saying this because I saw some ~liberal Zionism~ on my dash , and hated the whole "I support the Palestinian people but " thing. Like....idc if Hamas is run by Satan himself, still can't use them as an excuse to kill every Palestinian person. Which is what Israel is doing, currently, btw. Why are Hamas' war crimes wrong but Israel's are okay? IMO both are wrong. Harming innocent people is wrong, end of story.

If you disagree, if you hate me now, feel free to block. I hope no one will but like....if you think I'm some kind of terrible person for not supporting genocide, then.....I think you've got it terribly backwards, but you need to do what's right for you. And I need to do what's right for me.

I've had issues with this person's posts before, but like....I've just blocked. Because life's too short to deal with people who annoy the heck out of you. <3 I'm here in the RPC to have fun, and it's time I started acting like it.

I use to have a crush list on my first pinned post but I ended up deleting it to save space and sense then have been pretty indecisive about bringing it back just because I didn't feel it was useful information and the concept was too broad and more and more excuses of the like.

Six Sentence Someday

Tagged by @orime-stories thank you!

Despite what it looks like, I am in fact ocasionally still writing, I just tend to word vomit about my current obsession and then never finish it.^^° So yeah, my last game that I finished was Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest and it made me go insane, so have a part of my 1k monologue that I wrote for a potential time travel fix it. It is only 5 sentences because 6 would have been awkward, but if I ever get to it again you'll get a lot more.

"They ordered me to kill you but I couldn't do it. I would have ruined everything because I looked at you and remembered cherry blossoms and warm nights. I remembered off key lullabies and larger hands than mine on my back. I couldn't do it. And I think when you looked at me you knew that."

Gonna tag @adraveins and @stylishanachronism if you have anything you'd like to share.^^

[awritersrejections]

Anyone else having angry and complicated feelings this Tu Bishvat?

I've been thinking about how tomorrow is the birthday of all the trees in Israel... and also thinking about all the trees that have been destroyed by Netanyahu's relentless bombing, particularly the olive trees that are so important in Palestinian culture.

(This destruction isn't new, but I've only become aware of it since Oct 7th.)

Obviously there are a lot of awful parts of this war. There are infinite reasons to try to help. I'm not at all religious, and not personally invested in the actual words of the Torah, but. I keep thinking about this bit:

"When in your war against a city you have to besiege it a long time in order to capture it, you must not destroy its trees… Are trees of the field human to withdraw before you into the besieged city? Only trees that you know do not yield food may be destroyed” - Deuteronomy 20:19-20

Like, fucking hell, the hypocrisy would be almost comical if it weren't so heartrending and causing such vicious, lasting harm.

All of which is to say—I've lived in cities all my life and never done the actual in-person tree planting thing. For years now, I've donated to Ecosia instead, to get some trees planted anyway. This year, instead of donating to have a tree planted, I'm donating to ANERA, an organization that provides necessities like food and mattresses to Palestinian refugees. (I spent a minute looking for charities to help restore the olive trees, but that ultimately felt like it was missing the point.)

Of course, no one is obligated to do this! It is entirely valid to celebrate Tu Bishvat however feels right to each individual. This is just a feeling I personally had, and I thought I'd share in case anyone else felt the same.

So, if anyone else is feeling a similar way this Tu Bishvat, and usually spends money on planting a tree—you might consider donating to Palestinian relief efforts instead. Some other good Palestinian-focused charities that I've seen endorsed by Palestinian people (source): PRCS provides critical medical care. CFG is a gaza-based grassroot collective which gives necessities to the community.

Okay so like hyper fixation switch and shit and like this is off of my normal posting, but okay Wednesday right, god I love that show! And I was just thinking about it and the new Percy jackson show and I mean I just found it so funny because like Enid totally gives off like iris kid energy in my mind, that or hebe, but iris with all her rainbows and then Wednesday could totally be a hades kid but like imagine nyx kid Wednesday, so like rainbows and darkness and like damn what’s more queer then that! Lol I love it! But on a more serious note with it, I also love the idea of either her being a daughter of Hecate, but like it totally tracks, or a daughter of Melinoë (daughter of hades and goddess of like ghosts and nightmares and shit!) like that’s totally fits Wednesdays vibe!
