#rwde#rwde because I PUT BUMBLEBY LOW#its not like I don’t like the ship because ideally it’s good. its just in my opinion… its kinda rendered my girl blake to just being-#-“the other half of bumbleby”#plus it was kinda used to kick the whole wf arc under the rugaaANYWHO#the positive/negative stuff tho isnt specifically positive negative just#“im indifferent but I dig it” and “im indifferent but I dont”#and technically crimsun is my favorite. its the one I could scream for a whole ass post about THE WASTED POTENTIAL AHGGGG#im still mad about it btw they could’ve at least had a sick ass fight together#but canon wise FREEZERBURN TRUMPS ALL

Can you recommend any zionist youtubers who talk about israel/palestine? I am an anti-zionist (staunchly so) but I want to understand the zionist perspective better, especially from the ones who say they are leftist. thanks a lot!
thank you for asking anon! how do you know what side you are on or if you even have a side without educating yourself first? read both like you want to do and continue to read both 💙 i still read pro palestine sources and i recommend doing so.
i’m not on youtube as much as i used to be, but:
camera isnt zionist per say, but is dedicated to discussing and pointing out bias in media.
the first is Dr Einat Wilf (she has an amazing course on zionism vs antizionism too if you want the link). i dont think she has a channel so if you want the best books and videos by her, let me know. she has the We Should All Be Zionists podcast with blake flayton.
Oren is amazing. i recommend his and maybe Noa’s accounts first and then move on to the rest. Camera, Honest Reporting, and MEMRI are necessary for debunking media. the others are educational across the board.
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsksduy16U5IOdj1B3k7oV2LZeUZTxi3m&si=qzUHFjVZdpt2ajuC
jns’s the quad is a diverse group of jewish women who discuss various topics every week
others:
Honest Reporting
Jonathan Sacerdoti
Rawan Osman
Eylon Levy
Yasmine Muhammad
(yasmine also talks about negative experiences with islam and while i do not believe islam is bad etc, i still think it’s important to listen to all perspectives. she has some great interviews. btw, islamism is the terrible thing, not islam.)
i dont agree with every opinion all of these people have. a few might think trump is good for israel. i disagree. but also i can agree with people on one thing and disagree on another. i like the quad for instance because they constantly disagree and present nuance.
okay, so i gave you zionist jews and pro israel non jews. i personally dont agree with non jews being zionists. that’s like me, a non indigenous american, joining the AIM movement. just no, zionism is not for non jews, allyship is. that is MY own opinion, before anyone comes for me, but i want you to have a diverse education and hear from jews and non jews.
i have more instagram recs and website recs if you want them.
friends here, anyone have recs?

okay given how fucking weird and rapid-fire everything is (already, has been for ages) and to remind myself too: We Need To Learn To Fact Check.
i am talking about anything we see about trumps antics and I am talking about international news and I am talking about local news and I am talking about nearly everything in our lives. it is tiring, and takes more effort. but i think this is the only way we get thru the world right now, is by checking what we share however we can. it won't guarantee we are sharing only accurate info, but it DOES help us focus on sharing more accurate stuff and not buying into mis and disinfo.
Context/why i know this: im an academic librarian. I teach classes and do research on misinformation and media literacy among other topics, and i teach about authority of information and finding and evaluating info all the time. when I teach people to evaluate information i use Mike Caulfield's SIFT method, which is great and adaptable, and consists of these four moves:
STOP. this is the most important one. it just means: take two seconds before you click reblog or share smth. ask yourself: what is my emotional reaction to this content? what does it want me to do with this post or information?
do I know this is true - bc I've already checked into it before or I know something related to it that corroborates it - or am I far enough removed from the situation that I don't really know? for ex: I know gazans fundraise on tumblr bc i have tunblr, and that conditions in gaza are awful bc of both user posts and news coverage I've seen. I don't have tiktok or see much from it that isnt reposted, so I paused more before sharing that last post bc im less aware of the cjrcumstances.
INVESTIGATE THE SOURCE. where did this come from and do I know that source of information? can i identify the author not just the website it was shared from? what position is this person in to know what's going on? they might have expertise, education, a job, they might also just be in a place where things are happening (ukraine, gaza, los angeles, etc) or have access to a place where things are happening (tiktok, for ex).
FIND ADDITIONAL COVERAGE. if this is the only place you've heard about an event or statement, look and see if there are others reporting on it. sometimes you are looking for broad coverage (lots and lots of reporters and civilians have reported on the conditions in Gaza independently) and sometimes for very specific coverage (i wanted to see more than one screenshot of the TikTok ban msg before I believed it was real), but what you really want is to see if others are talking about and reporting on something.
this is called lateral reading btw and it's a really critical piece of fact checking.
TRACE CLAIMS TO THEIR SOURCE. who was the first to say this? where did they say it? was it misinterpreted along the way? the internet is a giant game of telephone and messages get distorted. this one is particularly important if you're not finding additional coverage AND/OR if the coverage is all weirdly samey.
highly specific example here: in 2020 there was a brief time when ppl were saying that ibuprofen was dangerous for covid and could heighten your risk. i am ibuprofens georg and I was on it 2x/day high dose at the time, so this could be a problem for me. so I started citations tracing - following citations and references and news posts and academic preprints. and finally found a brief and uncited Twitter post from a French health minister that appeared to be the original source, and along the way I found NO other corroborating info that wasn't citing that specific quote in the end. and thus. I took my ibuprofen.
this part takes time and effort more than anything else, but it's also often illuminating. I dont always go all the way to TRACE. but I have that move in my pocket for when I need to. it is very similar to a wikipedia rabbit hole where you start somewhere and end somewhere very different - but if you looked at your browser history you'd see all the pages you clicked to get there.
thats SIFT! you don't have to do each move for every post u see. if you take anything as a habit, start from the top and just STOP for a second before you share or repeat something wild. ask yourself about it a little. this is what i consider the most vital step, and it makes it easier to do the others in time.
we can't know everything. we will sometimes share misinformation by accident. we will sometimes share malicious disinformation by accident too. but I think we owe it to ourselves to try and build these habits, and it makes it a little harder for the people in power to convince us of whatever they want this week. it makes us more skeptical and more informed. these are always relevant skills and they're more and more important every day.

one sentiment i keep seeing that i dont get is the idea that hillary clinton is somehow “seething” because there’s a female candidate who isnt her. and like. she’s not. she got behind kamala right away, along with the rest of democratic establishment. believe me, she wants donald trump’s blood way more than anything else. when the crowd started chanting “lock him up” during her speech (a rousing speech in support of harris btw) during the dnc, she looked the happiest ive ever seen her. there’s obviously a million things to criticize about clinton and democrats in general, but this sentiment just really illustrates that some of you a) are not actually engaged with us politics at all beyond what you see in memes, and b) fell really hard for a conservative smear campaign and simply have not bothered to examine that since
#politics#like#read 1 news article at least#maybe catch michelle obama’s dnc speech too because it was really a masterclass

ok before I tweak out and forget how to words:
your writing of quinns character is phenomenal.
this is what I thought quinn was going to be like in the cannon. Give me someone who's absolutely bat shit CRAZY. someone that would warrant this level of fear and who could manage to keep pulling fast ones on tank, who we've all established to be pretty fucking strong. this quinn does his research and hits where it hurts, and he's not gonna keep sending lackeys to do everything for him THIS BITCH IS ON THE SCENE!!! IM SICK. AND THE FUCKING VIDEO??????????????? BAZ???????? IMGOING TO END UP ON THE NEWS IF YOU KEEP THIS UP. I'm not the biggest fan of angst, but even the cannon quinn was too soft for me. i thought he was going to be wayyyy more involved and psycho than just seeing the damage second hand, BUT THE STORY ISNT OVER!!! i trust erik has something devious planned and if he doesn't,,,,, we know we can count on u to fix that
I trust that u, have something even MORE devious planned. I'm scared pls don't hurt me,,,, I would say bc im in your walls but that just seems like bad taste after reading this
TANKFIGHTSCENETANKFIGHTSCENETANKFIGHTSCENE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
u thought i was done? no I yap
I lob fight scenes sm but it reveals sm about characters, tank knows they're tough shit and their endurance sometimes trumps their strength. even as wounded as they were, they still managed to take down a grown ass man mostly through spite, but that need to win or that need to be in control of the fight was strong enough to make them keep going. tank was in hella abusive relationship w quinn (surprise surprise), he clearly had huge control over them - so instead of having the emotional advantage (being able to manipulate, gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss), they got left the physical one. theyre so used to just tough it out that it became the main way they handle everything. IM STILL SICK SOMEONE HELP MY BABY.
and them subconsciously running towards the 10-19 while they were trying to hide or escape or WTV THE FUCK DARLIN YOU DUMB FUCK YOU JUST CONFIRMED THAT THIS PLACE IS A SAFE SPACE FOR U AND YOURE TRYING TO RUN AWAY?????? please please pleeeeaaaassseeeeee talk to david holy shit I'm going crazy
and them only giving out when david grabs them... I'm not even gonna say a damn thing.....it's all right there,,,,,,, what do you want from me
it's 9am what a lovely way to start my day 😙😙
-🦀
CRAB ANON MY FRIEND!!!!!!
I’m so glad you liked this chapter. I was thinking about you when I was posting btw, wondering how you’d like this one. There are a handful of more batshit crazy chapters coming up and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
My drive in a lot of my long form fanfics is to amend or at least tailor aspects of canon to my taste. Quinn was an asshole in canon for sure. A literal murderer. And I think we’ll get a further look at that before his time is through, but what I really wanted was a Fight to subdue him in the first place, a struggle to get him out of Darlin’s life. It felt… too easy. And maybe that’s a red herring in canon, but I figured, my story, I’m making him as horrific as he was talked up to be in canon.
You are very correct, Carb Anon. I do have something more devious in store. And nobody- NOBODY is safe.
I’m glad you enjoyed the fight scene!! Honestly I have a hard time writing action in the particular prose that I tend to use in narrative stories, so I tend to use them as vehicles for character exploration. I try to stray away from telegraphing each individual blow and more towards creating a particular ~vibe~ to communicate what I wanted to. If I’m not using the fight scene to achieve a secondary, character purpose, then I’m not putting it in there. I don’t know how many of my readers have been involved in a good old fashioned fist fight, but I think this style of writing them is useful to communicate how they can feel. They’re often very fast, only a few seconds, and a flurry of punches and kicks and yells. It hardly ever has the sort of organization and strategizing that we see in fictional fights. Darlin’ doesn’t fight like an action hero. They fight like an animal trying to survive, and I hope that their narrative through the fight communicated that.
And oh yeah, the relationship with Quinn was very very abusive, although they don’t now and maybe never will see it exactly that way. Darlin’ has a hard time seeing themself as a victim, not because of any pride or anything but because they have a hard time accepting that they can be victimized and not the perpetrator, or at least responsible for the abuse they suffer in some way. So Quinn goes from a sadistic abuser to an “asshole who, yeah, hit them sometimes and burned them and cut them and scarred them, but they gave as good as they got and they probably deserved all that anyway, and what unlucky bastard would ever treat them any better than that?” And he’s still got his roots in them. I think, genuinely, that they still love him in a way. They have a big heart, no matter what they try to portray, and they can’t just turn it off.
And YEAH even if their brain can’t process that they’re safe there, the soft animal of their body does know it, in a deep, subconscious way. And their body also knows that David is safe, safer than most people, safer than they are with themself. They’re running on fumes after the fight and when they reach David their body just goes “oh he’s here? Great. ✌️”
Anyway, can’t wait to deal with the aftermath in the next chapter. Hopefully we’ll have another update soon!! Thanks so much for reading and sending these asks in buddy, they seriously make my day.

And like, following up on that, it pisses me off to see people from other countries (countries being Canada and a lot of european countries btw.) Be all like "oh I'm so disappointed in america rn, your choices affect your neighbors!"
Like okay it does yes, but idk man , your disappointment doesnt mean shit to me when all I can think about is how worse shit is going to get for the poc living here. I cant think "damn hes going to screw them up over there" when the thing that comes to mind is "oh my god if he wanted to he could make something I can't even comprehend legal" (<- putting that because I cant think of anything)
That and, like.. yeah Trump voters are the issue here, no shit, but maybe just maybe something should be said that voters have to even pick between 2 people. 2 people that both are okay genocide. (Or vote 3rd party which, let's be honest, even if all 3rd party votes went to Kamala I doubt there would be a difference.)
Like I could list more shit if I remembered it rn, but isnt that crazy? Theres 2 choices to represent 330+ million people? 2 choices, 2 people, for over 300 million individuals and counting because well duh, people have kids.
Idk where I'm going with this but I just feel the need to write how I feel, I'll probably delete this so dont pick it apart to analyze or call me some dumbass who can't see the bigger picture
Bc like, idk not rn I cant. Dont ask me how I voted either, I literally cant because as of *checks notes* 3/4 days ago I'm 17 , I have no part in this in the end. I'm just scared what's going to happen to me and my friends, because it feels like my future ended before it even got the chance to start

elon is literally committing voter fraud btw. and no one is batting an eye. anyways fuck you to everyone who voted trump and FUCK YOU to everyone who voted third parties. ‘but kamala is a zionist—‘ okay ??? you know FULLY WELL that voting third parties is useless. voting isnt about what YOU believe in but its about whats good for your country. its lesser evil against bigger evil in america, because third parties are useless. all those votes couldve made trump lose. when it comes to voting, its ALWAYS about whats good for the people. if the better and more competent politician is the right-winged one, i would vote for them even though im NOT right-winged. my leftist grandma who used to be in the communist party ? her favorite politician from our country was right-winged, because he did good things for our people. you may say this doesnt affect me because im not american, but it DOES. im literally so mad right now and i HOPE that im overreacting.

If you’re a conservative with reasonable beliefs, more power to you, that’s great, we need more people like you.
But you’re doing yourself a major disservice if you take a post about anti-social behaviors from our party and showing you don’t socialize much and just stick your head in the sand and go “nuh uh that doesn’t happen!” Just leaves that avenue open to attack from Democrats.
Both my parents are registered republicans, and my mom has had to distance herself from fellow conserative friends specifically bc of that adrenochrome stuff. (Some of the friends were Korean btw, so i don’t wanna hear racism bs) My friend who isnt a republican but whose parents are both R has her mom sick of her dad bc of this stuff. Even at my job, the guys who talk about politics are work go to the exact topics mentioned in that post you said doesn’t happen. Democrats are just gonna pull up screenshots and use that to undermine everything else youre saying and say its fake and made up too.
Project2025, which I have read, wants to abolish overtime pay unless it interferes with the Sabbath - not religious stuff in general, only the Sabbath and only if you believe in the Sabbath for real. That’s literally only christians and jews. nobody else.
I’m not saying those are your beliefs, I’m not saying that’s what’s going to happen if trump is elected president. But Project2025 is a really big thing and not just bc liberals keep on pointing to it to fearmonger. abortion is one thing but how are we gonna tell people “we dont want christianity to be the main thing we just have morals�� if we’ve got big think tanks going “actually we wanna test people for their religon at work” ? radical conservatism is gonna kill moderate conservatism and make people vote dem. my dad even voted for biden last election and hes been a republican since before the 90s. the weird stuff is immature but the things they’re calling weird do happen
Okay look I fully understand that no one wants to believe me here so I'm shouting into the void expecting something to happen and that's ridiculous but I'm going to do it anyway because I still have a few minutes until my conference call starts.
I've been working in Republican politics professionally for ten years. A decade. I'm not talking out of my ass when I say no one is taking Project 2025 seriously. I actually do know that directly. When the Heritage Foundation is mentioned in conversation, people roll their eyes. The thing about think tanks like that is that they don't have to deal with the reality of what they're suggesting. They essentially throw spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. If something does - then they'll write an actual policy prescription or draft legislation so that lawmakers have something to start working on. I know you probably don't know what the difference is (which I don't mean as a knock on you, it's just not something most people know), but Project 2025 contains none of that. Until the conversations I hear at work start to shift or I see one of those ideas become a policy treatment or draft bill, I'm not going to worry about it. From a practical standpoint, all Project 2025 is today is a Democrat fundraising point.
To your other point, there are roughly 70 million registered Republicans in this country, not counting third party members or conservative leaning independents. Some of them suck. A lot. I'm really not trying to pretend that's not the case. But to write a post claiming that all conservatives are like that is absurd and shows that you don't spend time around us. The very vast majority of conservatives are just normal human beings who go to the grocery store and work boring jobs and take the kids to little league practice and hold extremely boring opinions on politics. Just like the very vast majority of liberals. It would be equally unreasonable of me to go around telling everyone that all Democrats are the equivalent of the Bernie bro who shot up a bunch of Republican members of Congress a few years ago or that they're all the like the people who send me rape threats here or call my old campaign office to say their going to firebomb us. It would be really easy for me to believe that if all I did was spend time around other conservatives and my only interactions with the left were with their raging nutcases. But I spend time around liberals so I know they're not like that any more than we are like that jackass last night.
It is so easy these days to put yourself in a little bubble of people who think like you and only ever see the worst of the people who don't. That used to be difficult for conservatives to do because media was all very left-leaning so even if we didn't personally know a lefty, we still saw them portrayed positively on tv, whereas the left didn't see that of us. With streaming and algorithms and alternate media these days, we are heading in that direction too. Very little scares me more about the future than that.
The only way to fix that is if we all start talking to normal people on the other side the aisle again. That's all I'm trying to get people do to. You don't even have to talk to them about politics. Talk to them about baseball or something, I don't care. Just something so that when you think of the other party, you think of the human beings you know instead of some boogeyman. There are nearly 12,000 people following this blog. That guy last night wasn't one of them - why does he get to represent them? They didn't do anything wrong and they outnumber him, literally almost 12,000 to 1. The only reason anyone listened to him was that he 'confirmed' their bias and they didn't think about it any more than that. They saw one example of what they already believed and let that give them a reason to ignore the mountain of things contradicting them. So I'm pissed at that guy for that and for generally being a shithead.
But I'm still going to say it because it's still true: if you think that's how all conservatives are, you obviously don't spend a lot of time around conservatives.

Okay, so after Kristoph was labelled as a criminal in the Trucy Gavin Au. Did his bond with Trucy gotten worse or better? I want to know how he felt when Trucy wants to get revenge on Apollo for him. Despite her feelings of hatred of not loving her. Additional question. What's Trucy's relationship with Klavier?
Hello!! Just for reference btw, please direct future Trucy Gavin Au questions to my art blog @justarandomidiot1 as that’s where I mainly post it now!! /nm
ANYWAY!! It’s… idk the best way to describe how Kristoph feels about Trucy in the Au. Because imo to say he doesn’t love her is wrong. He… cares in a sense. But saying he genuinely and truly loves her… saying yes isnt right either. So if he thinks their bond gets better, well. He’s at least proud of her— her first case was defending him on the murder of Shadi Smith after Apollo pinned him as the true murderer in Turnabout Trump. She got him a not guilty thanks to a lack of evidence. And there’s something satisfying about her hatred of that young upstart Apollo Justice kid, hearing her complain about how dare that defense attorney claim that Kristoph is the true murderer. Her daddy can’t be a murderer.
Saying Trucy hates Kristoph in the Au is also not entirely true. If you asked if she loves him and if she thinks he loves her, she’d answer yes to both questions without hesitation out loud. But in truth… it’s complicated. He told her there’s no future in being a magician, she shouldn’t waste her time on silly magic tricks. He told her she should be focused on her studies, should be working hard to become a defense attorney at such a young age, she shouldn’t spend so much time goofing off. It hurts, but he’s right, isn’t he? All magic has done was make her lose her old parents. Besides, Kristoph took her in after her other daddy left her. He gave her a nice life, gave her the best education. Surely he cares for her. Surely he loves her.
Overall, to say they love each other isn’t a definite yes, but it’s not a no either. It’s complicated. And admittedly based on my own feelings when it comes to my own parents LMAO
Her relationship with Klavier is pretty great tho!! She loves her Uncle Klav, and Klavier adores her! Whenever he comes to visit, he gives her the most extra gifts, and he loves to show her songs from the Gavinners before they officially release, and she loves to perform magic tricks for him!! He also babysat her a lot when she was younger and she enjoyed it because it meant she didn’t have to study on those nights. I actually have a comic planned out that I started drawing that highlights the type of relationship they have along with their own complicated feelings about Kristoph. Hopefully I actually get that done soon lol.
#asks#anonymous#additional note: klavier takes custody of trucy after turnabout succession and their relationship becomes Complicated™️#bc neither wants to admit that the whole revelation of kristoph affected them and is just pretending to be fine for the other’s sake#but they are in fact Not Fine#they work it out eventually tho. unsure how yet

Hey i'm the previous anon, and i think you missed some point. İntersectionality is important as you say, but whilst trans women hold the power (or seems like) by the virtue of being born male, transitioning is something that dismisses that power. I think it's somehing that's different from things like, as you said, race. A white woman's white privilege does not goes away by the virtue of her being a woman. But after transition, a trans woman's male privilege goes. For example, a friend of mine is trans. She faces misogyny in her field, and she if she were to go and say them she's trans they would not go "oh, sorry, my mistake!!!". They would probs react with disgust but contunie their misogyny nonetheless. I know this specific thing happens because she passes, but even before she passed, people didn't treat her like a with the respect they would do to a guy at all. Not even with the respect they would treat to a gnc guy.
Btw ik some ppl might see it and think the reverse happens to trans men, but from what i seem, it does not!! From my observations, privilege in regards to gender -and transitioning- is something that can very easily taken away. But isnt given.
This is gonna be kind of long, so I’ll put a read more.
I appreciate you outlining that so well! I do think a fully passing trans person wouldn’t be recognized as male and thus not have some of the male privileges in places like work, as you said.
However I guess when I bring up privilege, one of the main things they have privilege in that we don’t is reproductive rights. All female people, even those who can’t get pregnant, are affected by those rights getting taken away (just wait until November when Trump inevitably wins, I guarantee there will be more than just abortion taken away). But since trans women are male, they do not face the same danger as we do in this area. Also not ever having to deal with periods is a privilege in itself, considering the stigma and misinformation surrounding periods and also the struggle many women have to buy products. This is where the male privilege is.
I also wanted to point out that- and not all trans people are like this, I’m aware- many MTFs have expressed that experiencing misogyny is affirming to them and actually makes them feel slightly happy because it’s a sign of passing. While I understand how debilitating dysphoria is and I know that it’s awful to deal with, being able to see a “bright side” of misogyny is a privilege. A male person didn’t have to grow up with misogyny surrounding them, while a female person does. So there is a privilege in being able to feel affirmed by oppression.
But I mean yeah it’s not a simple thing to think about and discuss, like you said. Passing trans people have privileges in some areas but lose them in others. Intersectionality and not living in an echo chamber is important to me so I’m always up for hearing other perspectives (as long as you aren’t an asshole about it).
Sorry for the long response😭

this is my makeshift ask box now.
ok so. tommyinnit told a story about mizkif being awkward. (tommyinnit has a podcast with jack manifold btw). mizkif took this personally (??? probably just wanted views tbh) (not to be a bitch at mizkif, but i saw the podcast and bros mad about nothing) and like talked shit about tommy for 30 minutes on his own stream. tommyinnit finds himself in one sided beef with random pathetic men on the internet. fork found in kitchen.
xqc comes to defend mizkif. tommy mocks xqc for being a trump supporter (and worse than that, being cringe about it). if you dont know who any of these people are, thats fine. at this point the plot has wondered so far away from the original beef that its irrelevant.
so dream comes out of LITERALLY FUCKING NOWHERE. no one even breathed in his direction. this beef was silly and funny but it was just kinda irrelevant streamers that fell off trying to scrape views off of bigger streamers. happens every day. who cares. anyway, dream tweets this:
and im showing this here because he has since deleted it. CRAZY WORK.
he defended this with "guys im autistic i can reclaim that slur" which uhhhhh. anyway.
streamers start hopping on to talk shit. because important context here: dream smp had some minors on the server who dream manipulated and abused throughout the duration. but now they are adults who are in therapy and are capable of telling their stories. honestly, theres 5 years of random bullshit that dream has done that he himself has unfortunately made relevant.
anyway, notably tubbo (tommys best friend) decides to do a stream recapping all the tweets that had been made at that point. and he talked shit about dream for a bit. as is his right. and now its a whole thing because dream called like 15 million people a slur. crazy.
jack manifold does a stream. hes promoting the podcast. as is his right. now, jack manifold has always hated dream and this was a whole thing in the past. anyway, for some fucking reason mizkif comes on and apologizes to jack (?????) even though his beef is with tommy???? and jack isnt having it but whatever. i assume mizkif apologized to tommy privately, but at this point, who the fuck cares.
so then tommy tweets something sarcastic in response to dream. so we thought it was mostly over. this is how his beef with logan paul and ksi went down. which btw tommyinnit told logan paul to kill himself on twitter a few months ago. hes my fucking hero.
were not done. i did not realize shit was just getting started. dream starts a stream at 2/3 am his time, and he streamed for FOUR HOURS. what the hell could he be talking about in those four hours? literally fucking anything but the slur he said. "i didnt mean to offend anyone guys 😭 now lets talk about the real problem at hand. tommyinnit ruined my friendship with quackity." which, btw, quackity split ways with him because hes extremely racist against hispanics and latinos. honestly, thats a whole other story. also, for the record ☝️😁 tommyinnit didnt cause punz to stop being friends with dream. actually dream slept with punz's girlfriend, and he wasnt too happy about that. source: the girlfriend. dont feel bad for punz he was a piece of shit, but that is also a whole other story. just wanted to correct the records.
anyway so it was a whole lot of that for four hours. the europeans wake up. tommy uploads a video on youtube addressing it. shit has escalated. here it is. its five minutes if you wanted to give it a watch. tubbo goes live and responds to dreams stream. he might still be live actually. he is as of me typing this out. on tubbos first stream, he offered to call dream and talk things out. dream did not respond. on this stream, tubbo had set up to call dream. dream bailed halfway through tubbos stream.
now dream is claiming that he is going to make a response video to tommys video.
honestly, dream has been a piece of shit to not only these people when they were children, but also the audience that both supported him or casually watched him. so it is very vindicating watching dream so desperately try to control the narrative and paint himself out into a victim and fail.
and also tommyinnit should be allowed to kill whoever he wants. send post.
( @fandom-ed tagging you so that you see it)
#asks of dante#thats basically it#someone might correct a minor detail here and there#btw punz raped his girlfriend and was just extremely abusive#but he also surrounded himself with people that would make jokes about raping his girlfriend and would call her slurs and shit#dream being on of them#and quackity makes more money than dream now#thats the gist of that#fuck dream friday is just going on throughout the whole weekend it seems

the democrats have nobody to blame but themselves for losing this. in a few days we'll hear the same discourse after discourse "oh why did people vote jill stein? why did black men why did black women" and it all leads back to them not seeing common interests.
joe was a weaker candidate than kamala but you know why he won against trump? not because we were united, we were united now and got humiliated. you know why? the economy is shit. the border has been flooded, even if you think it isnt to most folks it is. and people wanted change. you arent the change you think you are when youre the vp of the guy they want out. truth is, most folls dont know or care for trans people. im sorry. i really am but theyd sacrifice a "better economy" to trample you, some person they dont know. and to the higher ups, youre just a spectacle to taunt the "anti woke" with. even if it costs your life, your friends lives, your strangers lives. youre just a spectacle to em. and abortion, you think straight truck driving men ever cared about you? truth is when they have kids therell be no abortion. they dont do that, and you wont now either.
kamala was out of time and out of touch from the beginning. she never resonated with working class voters. you want the truth? they dont care about palestine. they dont care about trans rights. they care about the cash in their pockets and if they can pay rent. if one guy makes it clear "I WILL MAKE IT BETTER!!" over and over in simplistic language till its coded in your brain, he'll be seen as better for the economy. the dems are the party of the elite and "educated"(i do not beg to differ but perception might) and the repubs are the party of the average joe. thats how it's perceived and if they dont get off their high horse and fix this economy, theyll lose 2028.
to hop back to a past point, yall did the right thing humiliating joe into resigning. the fact the dems thought they could compromise on that is embarrassing. but the fact they did left kamala to scrap a campaign up in 3 months that can beat a campaign planned over 8 years. yall got outclassed and outbuffled. you will watch palestine burn and women forced and trans folks prevented all because of this. free palestine btw donald will be a monster for letting israel take down the west bank. he will be a monster for forcing nato allies to scrap for equipment to ukraine. and you will watch. "why did jill stein voters do.." much like republicans, they refuse to compromise. and you know what? we shouldn't either. YOU need a democratic strongman YOU need a second obama. but perhaps the dems will just shift right and youll lose faith in them. whatever, nothing ever happens anyway.
