Terrorism has no religion

Attacks on Hindu Religious Sites and Pilgrims-

2006 Varanasi Bombings

2002 Akshardham Temple Attack

2000 Amarnath Pilgrimage Massacre

Massacres of Hindu Civilians -

1998 Chapnari Massacre

2006 Doda Massacre

1993 Kishtwar Massacre

2001 Kishtwar Massacres

1998 Chamba Massacre

And ofcourse, how can we forget, Pahalgam 2025.

Me spewing hateful comments???

Ok, then why did the terrorists ask the hindu men to remove their pants? To check if they had an aadhar card? Why did they ask them to recite the kalma?

It was a religion based attack, and if you don't think so, you're delusional and completely wrong. And its not the first of its kind.

Terrorism doesn't have a religion yet somehow only one religion is unaffected by terrorism.

JK's creations need to be purged from the public conscious. The next generations need to have never heard of HP.

And I was a person who was Harry's age & literally grew up with the books. She betrayed us, she broke our hearts, & now attacking us.

History should remember her only as a fascist.

And yes, purge includes the fandom.

You need to file those memories away as fond memories. Remember the joy, those are YOUR memories, but close the door on that time. It's over, and it's her own fault.

She betrayed ALL OF US. Don't let her hold anymore control over you. Find another fav.

All I know is that I've never felt more motivated to sit down & write my own novel, & create even more queer comics.

Drown out her lie of a series with better stuff. Flood the market w/ beautiful creations.

This is OUR world. NOT hers.

just in case you're wondering how bad antisemitism is online by now: my friend had to take down the memorial post she made on IG for her dad and stepmum (who died less than a week ago) bc people were spamming it with "free palestine" and "two less zionists is a good thing" comments

Feel like Neil couldn’t have been any other kind of actor than one in theatre. If he was a movie actor or on social media or whatnot, it would not be the same. Theatre by nature is fleeting. Recorded mediums can be rewatched over and over, creating a time loop of sorts. We the audience can keep going back to a time when Neil is still alive. Theatre however is live and once the play is over, there is no going back except in our memories. It is much like life. We are forced to live in the moment in a theater lest we miss it altogether. It’s not that the poets choose to live in a world where Neil is dead, it’s that they must because the only other option is to die themselves. I feel like Keatings teachings could only be reflected in stage theatre because that’s the only way there can be no time loop of grief. I think dead poets society itself isn’t about overcoming the authority in your life to do what you want but rather about grief, about allowing oneself to feel grief and all one’s emotions without letting it consume you and to keep living after, to live every day in the moment lest you fall into grief and regret that will destroy you or force you into a miserable life

"I came here as a stranger, as a stranger I leave again."

The Terror (2018) + Winterreise (Franz Schubert, text by Wilhelm Müller)

English Translations by Michèle Lester

Context & thoughts below the cut:

I think Winterreise works really well alongside The Terror. Beyond the base similarity of "going on a long doomed journey through the cold" I just think the vibes match up really well. I first made the connection when I was listening to No. 23, where the singer witnesses a morning sun dog and compares the two false suns to the eyes of the woman he'll never see again:

Winterreise (or The Winter Journey) is a song cycle for tenor and piano written by Franz Schubert in 1828, set to the work of German poet Wilhelm Müller. It's loosely narrative in nature, and follows a man who is cast out from his village after the death of his lover. He embarks on a meandering, directionless journey through the frozen wilderness, commenting on the things he sees and feels. The end of the song cycle is vague, and the wanderer's fate is left uncertain.

I didn't include this one in the main post because I think the connection between the poem and Crozier is just one step too far removed for it to make sense in a post without context, but I wanted to mention it here somewhere because it really just feels like a perfect match.

Looking past just the text, the music of Winterreise is some of my favourite ever written for the human voice. It's bleak, it's haunting, it's Schubert at his best. There's this pervading sense of hopelessness through the entire work - sometimes raging and desperate, sometimes cold and listless, sometimes interrupted by moments of joy and light before falling again into desolation. Rarely has a piece of music left me feeling so hollow inside. The Terror left me feeling the same way.

If you're at all interested in classical music, I cannot recommend enough that you give this a listen. I'd recommend the Peter Pears recording, or the Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau recording if you don't vibe with Pears' voice (I wouldn't blame you, he's got this sort of ghostly wail-like quality to his sound that can be very jarring.) There's also a 1968 video of Pears and his partner (composer and pianist Benjamin Britten) performing and discussing the music, which is absolutely worth a watch if you want to see two old gay men talk about music for 10 minutes.

Anyways, this is all to say that being into classical music does not free you from Blorbo Song Disease. If anything it just makes it more embarrassing. I can't just make a character playlist and call it a day, I have to make pretentious and long-winded Tumblr posts that would make my Song Interpretation professor claw her hair out.

The way it’s been weeks, and I’m still just so angry about how they treated Eddie when it came to Bobby’s death arc. Not only was he not in the two-parter when literally everyone else was, despite being a main, but they treated his return for the funeral like it was a surprise for both Ravi and the audience. Like RG was just some fan-favorite guest star returning for the funeral of an old friend. The camera panning over to him as Ravi realizes Eddie is there, the lack of any true lines for Eddie, it all just feels so gross and underwhelming for the relationship that’s been built up between Eddie and Bobby for years. The call flashback was so short, but that was the energy needed for Eddie. And actually, not just Eddie, but the entire firefam. We spent hardly any time on their grief because of that unfulfilling fake kidnapping plot line, and I will never not be angry about that.

Oopsie daisy, we accidentally spent almost 5 full hours in my room 🥴 damn I had truly planned on buying him a nice dinner after sex too

Anyone who feels entitled to Harry, Louis, Zayn or Niall saying ANYTHING else about Liam at this point in time has clearly never experienced loss.

They owe us nothing in terms of their grief. That’s private.

Nobody better say anything bad about my girl Earian she is being manipulated through her grief by the men in power around her and it's making it hard for her to discern right from wrong. I'm not saying that her actions are justified, I'm just saying that she misses her brother and dearly needs her dad, but at the moment she is all alone and that can mess a person up

Anyway. Here’s your reminder to systems out there that you’re allowed to grieve fusions if an alter that you’ve known and grown close to and relied on for years is no longer who you knew. It’s hard, but it’s worth it to heal. ❤️‍🩹

[saviaris]

this is extremely important, because we’re not mourning the man he became, we’re mourning the boy he was and the man he could’ve become

[godblooded]

fucking love being forced to take accountability and apologize for having emotions in a situation where my aunt is dying because evidently it’s never excusable to get angry when you’re pushed. it’s never fine to get upset when someone literally says to you ‘well we’ve all lost people’ when you mention that you’re losing your second mother.
