if israel is charged for war crimes, never ever let the support for palestine stop. it will take generations to repair what’s been done. and there’s no way to repair the hearts of those who lost their entire families, children, loved ones, limbs, etc. the most we can do is rally to dismantle israel entirely. only then can the fallen rest easy.
for the dead, the lost families and children, they are home again. palestine is waiting for them to welcome them home beyond the grave.
Tubbo ending stream with saying “Also I’m not really homophobic I just make jokes and if you see someone saying I’m homophobic please correct them I mean I’ve had two boyfriends before soo……..that kinda puts that to bed …………cause they’ve put me to bed so you know anyways goodnight byeeee”
I really think everyone needs to truly internalize this:
Fictional characters are objects.
They are not people. You cannot “objectify” them, because they have no personhood to be deprived of. They have no humanity to be erased. You cannot “disrespect” them, because they are not real.
I know this has good intentions, so I will just add the “how you treat them, even as objects of fiction, can speak about your own character, be careful out there”
Your addition is actually completely antithetical to my message. It is literally the opposite of what I am conveying.
Stop telling people to encourage the cop inside their head.
How you treat fictional characters, given they are entirely objects of fiction, does NOT necessarily speak to your own character, and you do not need to be “careful”.
It is not dangerous to imagine dark things happening to fictional characters. It does not mean you are secretly a bad person. It does not mean you unconsciously want to hurt people in real life. It is not a “slippery slope” to doing bad things to people in real life. You cannot damage your brain or turn yourself into a bad person by consuming “dark” fanfic.
I can write tentacle noncon of my favorite character all day long and be a fierce anti-sexual assault advocate in real life because what I do in my head is not the same thing as what I do in real life.
“umm if you reblog or make a pro-kink post you gotta be clear you don’t mean pedophilia” no i dont actually because i dont think child sexual abuse is a ‘problematic kink’ and the fact that you do speaks volumes about the fact that your understanding of why csa is bad is rooted in 'its icky’ and not that it entails doing profound and traumatizing harm to children.
Shoutout to the toxic yuri going on in House where a patient let her girlfriend give her part of her liver despite the fact that she was planning to leave her because “she got bored of her,” and the girlfriend knew the patient was planning to leave her but gave her the liver anyway so that she’d be trapped in the relationship out of guilt
Not strictly relevant, but the reason she needed a new liver was she had the bubonic fucking plague
You know that one post about using the special things instead of saving them for a time special enough to use them? Burning the pretty candles, eating off the fine china, that sort of thing.
Tonight I opened the sterling silverware that my parents were gifted when they married 30-some years ago. They never used it, it was put in a cabinet to be safe and keep from tarnishing until it was time to use them, and that never happened. When my mom visited and saw my mismatched utensils she decided I needed that silverware. I opened all the sealed plastic sleeves that kept them from tarnishing and got fingerprints on them for the first time.
Since my parents’ wedding they had not so much as touched the open air. Tonight they have touched late night box mac and cheese, as was surely always intended.
Poetic
In the possibly misquoted words of my great grandpa, who put livestock directly in the backseat of his brand new car, “If it’s worth having, it’s worth using.”
