absolutely normal about them and this game (going to explode)

[thebellimelli]

My friends, I have returned to northern Gaza, but what I have seen is beyond words... Massive destruction surrounds me, and my home, which once sheltered me and my children, is now completely gone—reduced to rubble by the occupation’s bombing. Now, I have nothing but a worn-out tent pitched near the ruins of what was once our home, trying to find some refuge for my children amidst this devastation.

I plead with you from the depths of my heart—I need your support to stand again, to rebuild a simple home that can protect us from the cold and fear. Even just sharing my story could be a lifeline for me and my children… Please, don’t leave us alone in this suffering.

Do you know how I feel right now. I am a chronic rarepair fan and I have NEVER had a ship go canon. Now I am, as a humble lifelong medieval history nerd, after SEVEN YEARS of dev silence (and <20 fics on ao3 last time I checked, many written my yours truly), witnessing the altright fandom melt down into nuclear waste in real time. Because their ~antiwoke hero~ studio just dropped a major sequel confirming my ultra rarepair lgbtq+ nothingburger never-gonna-happen ship was endgame all along. I could bend steel with my pinkies. This is my Roman empire. This is video game Christmas to me. I am unkillable right now do you understand

[thebellimelli]

saying ao3 needs to censor certain content is like saying a museum can't have still life art that includes strawberries because you don't like them.

these are not real strawberries. you do not have to, and in fact cannot, eat them. no one with a strawberry allergy will be harmed by looking at them. no migrant workers were exploited in the picking of these strawberries. there were no questionable farming practices or negative environmental impacts from growing or transporting them.

because - and i cannot stress this enough - they are not real strawberries.

if you don't like strawberries, you don't have to look at the paintings. in fact, you can get a map of the museum that lists what works are in what rooms and just. not go in there. if you see one by mistake, you can look away. just keep walking. there's plenty of other stuff to see.

yes, real strawberries can cause real quantifiable harm to real people.

but again. these are not real strawberries.

you may have whatever feelings you like about strawberries, and so can i. you can draw and write about whatever fruit floats your boat, and so can i, even if that happens to be strawberries. and we can hang our art side by side in the same gallery, provided you understand that my strawberries are not about you (and your kumquats are, shocker, not about me) and that - and this is true - neither are real.

and when the fascists break down the doors and grab all the strawberry paintings and heap them in the street and set them on fire, please know that they are coming for your kumquats next.

so if you want a place where you can show off your beautiful kumquat art safely, you're gonna have to tolerate having some strawberries in the next room.

and that's okay. because the strawberries aren't real.

Of course I am a Bakool Ja Ja fan too.

Daniel is the best professor to ever teach the Monster Fucker 101 class. There's a wait-list for it every semester. Sure he's a bit of a dick, but he knows his shit and his lectures are incredibly thorough and detailed.

[thebellimelli]

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

[thebellimelli]

and like i love book armandaniel very deeply but i also think that it was an excellent decision for them to age up show daniel. bc i feel like we rarely get to experience actual well-written and compelling older characters on TV and there’s this general culture of glamorising youth, and most media tries to sell you the notion that your life is basically over after youre 30 and idk its just so refreshing??? and reassuring somehow?? to see a character played by a 71 year old actor actually be cool and snarky and smart and amazing and a vital part of the show and so many people in the fandom (and armand) want to Fuck that Old Man so yeah the message here seems so strong??? really daniel is like a role model to me. i want to be like him when im old. and i like this juxtaposition of the vampires being older than him but looking younger; do they wish they could also experience old age? do they see themselves in him, despite their youthful appearance? and its so cool when he actually outsmarts armand at the end like get him!!!! and he gets to be a vampire and be a cunty old man forever!!! amazing show
