I've been hearing from my anti-Russian imperialism friends that the Donbas being pro-Russia is a plot by Russia to take Ukrainian land by killing off pro-Ukraine Ukrainians in the Donbas and sending pro-Russian dissidents to live there. Is there a source for this claim? I tried searching some, but most of the sources are from unreliable biased news outlets. I would also like to know why is the Donbas majority pro-Russia?
this is complete nonsense, lol. ukrainian nationalism biased and maidan pilled fellas left donetsk and lugansk back in 2014-2015 and there weren't many of them here to begin with (look at popular political parties in donbass and see how little nationalists were getting compared to western ukraine).
donbass was originally a part of russian soviet republic to begin with. it was transferred later to ukrainian soviet republic for practical (like to help with industrialization) rather than any kind of national liberation reasons. so historically speaking it's a russian territory with strong ukrainian culture influence. not the other way around. and the population stayed true to those roots and even decades of soviet ukrainization (which was rather unpopular here) didn't work. from what i saw a lot of people here prefer to identify as russian or russian speaking slavs over claiming ukrainian identity (in ethnic sense. in nationality sense it was more or less satisfactory for many despite strong connections with russia. until maidan.) with many of older gen missing simply being called soviets and not bother with this ethnic belonging nonsense.
#not saying there are no ethnic ukrainians here who identify themselves as such obv#but those are pretty much pro russian integration too lol#like but i don't think those big joining russia referendum numbers were faked at from my interactions with donbass people#(pretty young ones too like gen z)#this is civil war of ukrainians vs ukrainians but also it isn't especially at this stage#i heard of this 'great replacement' tale and it's such a delulu copium lol

Dorothy Counts made national news in September 1957, when at the age of 15, she became one of the first and, at the time, the only black student to enroll in the newly desegregated Harry Harding High School in Charlotte (North Carolina).
This came nearly three years after the Supreme Court ruled public school segregation unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education.
Counts was dropped off on her first day of school by her father, along with their family friend Edwin Thompkins.
As their car was blocked from going closer to the front entrance, Edwin offered to escort Counts to the front of the school while her father parked the car.
As she got out of the car to head down the hill, her father told her, “Hold your head high. You are inferior to no one.”

the curse of having been very Normal about s2 of dndads is that at any point I can remember real and true facts about the kiddads and feel genuinely sick in my body
#Characters of ever really#Because the audience gets such a unique dual perspective of them#With in s2 them being these ideals who’s happiness was paramount and integral to the plot#While in s2 they are portrayed as genuinely complex and flawed men with dubious parenting records#The contrast of my beautiful boys vs suffering trolley problem survivors#Idk I remember them sometimes and I feel So Much about them#dndads#dungeons and daddies#kiddads#also so fucking stupid we called them that but I won’t act like I wasn’t complicit

rant ahead, may be upsetting to survivors of grooming / sexual assault. see tags for context / summary. if you cannot bring yourself to read, at least reblog these:
victim statements: chaos (chaosblast) , imani (geencream) , more coming soon probably
donation links can be found here
the more openly predatory kittycorn gets, the more she just proves everything that was said about her. not even in the “believe it and fuck off bc i know its not true” way, shes just admitting shes into children and actively encouraging people to feed her fetishes.
honestly? part of me is glad shes going mask off about it now. because now people dont have to pull out a long document or speculate, we can just point them to her official blog for it and thatll be enough to paint the picture.
notice how the only people defending her now are the confirmed preds? how even previously uninformed proshippers have turned against her? theres a bit of a silver lining here, kit keeps making it easier and easier to call her a pedophile and justify hatred towards her. she keeps proving exactly what she wants to run from, i wouldnt be surprised if she just openly victim blames nick, imani, etc. real soon.
she does not care for healing anymore, i dont know when she stopped caring but she has completely ditched the concept of recovery as anything but an r-word she can use as an excuse. if she truly was “pro FICTION” she would never have even thought of normalizing her kinks to OTHER SURVIVORS OF THE SAME SHIT.
the shipcourse is the LEAST of my worries, but the extent shes taking it to is so blatantly tangled with her real actions. this is not a case of “big scary antis harassing a 24 year old minor🥺🥺🥺” this is a grown adult refusing to confront her trauma and instead grooming her (ex-)partners into being just like her.
she, the groomers she associates with, and anyone defending her or keeping quiet need to be locked the fuck up. now. i usually hate saying this because i am radical when it comes to promoting recovery. but they keep actively fucking denying help so i will not bother.
#CONTEXT: kittycorn has opened a new blog thats basically just the comet ask blog but WITH the secret canon integrated#(as in INCEST AND CHILD MOLESTATION)#i cannot emphasize how much i do not care for pro vs anti online pixel debates but i think we can all agree it gets to a fucking point#i dont wanna name or link it bc i dont wanna trigger myself or other survivors but if u decide to look thats on u#🩹#sparklecare hospital#sperklacera

AU where acclaimed creative director, Valentino, on the verge of being ousted from [insert storied Italian couture house… maybe Valentino because it would make me giggle] takes a hail mary trip to the Spanish countryside to sequester himself away in a beautiful summery guesthouse to find inspiration for his next collection and save his career.
Enter the son of his generous hosts, Marc.
Summer romance shenanigans ensue… turning old tablecloths into sundresses… flirty sunset horse rides… sketching each other by the river… Marc standing on a little wooden stool to act as Vale’s fit model… Vale teaching Marc how to cut a dress on the bias… Marc showing Vale how he used to hand embroider his and Alex’s clothes when they were little so they could tell them apart… Vale brushing a fingertip across the raised surface of a tiny lovingly embroidered ant on a faded red sock and a little puppy on another tiny pair of socks…
#work week from hell calls for comfort au coping mechanism ❤️#Valentino being the creative director of Valentino feels TOO in the nose but I’m not above it#this COULD be a commentary of the tension between commercial appeal vs creative integrity for creative directors#but it is not ❤️#phantom thread au would also be FUN but I am not in the headspace for that#fic things#designer au

In your AU is David and cassidy dating or friends?
they’re just friends! :)
#vengeance buddies :)#for the record….#i headcanon a lot of fnaf character on the aro/ace spectrum personally#just because i think so many characters died so young that they never graduated the “ew gross cooties” phase#and the others have the repeated problem of a mental vs. physical age disparity#aka michael looking 20-something and being in his 50s#but due to the circumstance he doesn’t have the *maturity* of a fifty year old???#so while i think michael had some brief crushes/flings growing up (bonnie bro & jeremy fitz)#post-ennard he stops pursuing/showing interest in romantic relationships#i do ship will & phone dude but that’s an exception rather than the norm#and some ships that predate hell breaking loose (ie fiona/edwin and arnold/dispatch) i also integrate#i digress. this is far more than you asked for.#meta talks#fnaf#williamwasframed!au#alliswell!aftons

This is the beginning of the end, and this time we have a drastic shift from the previous two redesigns with like... and actual redesign of Water Hazard/orishan/Bivalvan- hmm... let's just call this Bivalvan because I've drawn him before :P
First of all- so many eyes. Clam eyes are so (relatively) freaky y'all, truly the 'people with blue eyes: *staring into your soul*' type energy, so of the 10 visible eyes, Bivalvan has an eye ring, an iris and a pupil :)
And what do I mean by only ten visible eyes, there's a lot more blue on this design than 10. That's because those aren't eyes, that's the colour of his flesh and thus, for every hole in the armour is a valve (hah!) for water flow and thus, breathing! Things like the muscles in the claws and hood and the foot visible between Bivalvan's legs and waist are for mobility, the tendons mainly for closing joints and creating a water tight seal, the foot for movement of the limbs.
Speaking of limbs, you can clearly see how different Bivalvan's legs are :) really putting in the cockroach of my personal biases. An orishan's hands are just claws akin to the ones that rest on their waist that rest inside the claw. And those claws are in fact water cannons :P
#bivalvan#water hazard#orishan#ben 10#fanart#also i drew a thing from of the devil a visual novel defense lawyer game that is so hauntingly good i can never go back to phoenix wright#there is the temptation to do so but it will break me to go back even as i long for the gameplay and story telling#anyway check it out it's really fucking good trust me just maybe check warnings because well#content warnings aside it's also very visually taxing so be cautious and what not#ANYWAY THE DESIGN#the main difference between cerebrocrustaceans and orishan that i wanted to say with these designs#is that orishan have adapted to take water anywhere that's available with the ability to 'bubble' their water#whereas cerebrocrustaceans have prioritised the integrity of their armour even if it means they have one access point to their gills#makes making a rebreather easier of course but this ain't about them#plus they evolved from something akin to the arthropod family vs orishans which evolved from species kind of like bivalve mollusks#means they have a few seams in their armour that evolved from things either able to open or forced closed by pressure#perhaps that pressure is what it took to help develop a need to keep those seams closed since they never opened :P#either way will i suddenly draw bivalvan this way forevermore? i might forget actually#well- yeeagh i guess that's what i have to say to that

I’ve made this post before but I can’t be bothered to find it. In what we commonly consider a ‘traditional’/patriarchal European society, the paths in life are: marriage with children (acceptable), bachelorhood (frowned upon, locked out of certain professions/roles), spinsterhood in servitude to parents (probably suffering), religious servitude. An unmarried person is a servant either of the local lord, the Lord, or the parents. The parental relationship has a built-in hierarchy of the senior parents and the underling child. All pressures push down and toward marriage as a form of (highly limited for women) freedom.
One of the few ways around this system is the sibling relationship. Sticking with a sibling can provide an avenue to independence from hierarchy via a peer relationship, a person who moves in with a married sibling is protected under the auspices of that marriage (though somewhat dependent on the sibling) and is not automatically subordinate as with aristocracy/religious orders/parents. I’m interested in the sibling relationship as a kind of lifeline or shield against the buffets of social expectation specially in a world where there is some kind of censure against unmarriage and in which marriage is seen as the final step in growing up. Siblings are the playmates of childhood, they are biological family, to remain part of s biological family unit is acceptable, to remain unmarried is not, the sibling is the last line of defense against a spouse without submitting to hierarchy and/or could be read as the last line of defense against growing up.
This isn’t coherent. I like the idea of two siblings choosing to remain close into adulthood not because they necessarily like each other that much, but because they understand the consequences of abandoning someone to social forces. Siblings as a kind of delayed maturation, a sign that something is wrong, a failed evolution, a vestigial relationship, you’re supposed to be close growing up and then split into different clans, but they have failed to do so and have closed the loop to return to childhood.
#kelsey rambles#have to pull out an example so that I don’t sound insane#nightray sibs—they operate as a unit becuase gil is aware of Vince’s dependence and that very closeness leads gil to hate him#the Alice siblings—Alice becomes alyss’ defense against Jack. the ‘marriage’ option and the sibling are in direct conflict#fma03 vs fmab. the ‘healthy’ ‘good’ ending is where edward goes off and starts a family with winry#the fucked ending is where edward and alphonse want to reunite after their journey and do not want to split up.#minamoto family. the nuclear family unit collapses and Teru and kou band together in a pseudounit threatened by kou’s dalliance with Mitsuba#kageyama brothers. mob relies on ritsu as his bestie/emotional support rather than integrating into the real world. depending on ritsu#is a way to avoid growing up. etc.#basically: sibling relationship as an ‘improper’ perpetuation of childhood in conflict with romance as a ‘proper’ way of growing up#specifically where there are no options except the sibling/romance binary

Still thinking about the scene where Fish shoots Maroni ending the domination of traditional mafia families of the first season and beginning the era of "madness" and "costumed freaks" that defines the rest of the show

#gotham#I think she's kinda the best new invention of the show and a cool addition to/alternative version of batman lore#she's made integral to the core of crime and chaos vs justice and order that is at the heart of the show and of most batman media#ya know what i mean?#fish mooney

i do love a good solid bit of realistically logical and consistent worldbuilding, but i love other things more, like making characters cry in each other's arms. so sometimes i have to remind myself that the less time i spend on the former, the more time i can spend on the latter...
#i did go extremely hard on desperate measures but that's bc the worldbuilding is integral to that one#also it's an au so it's my city now. and a modern au at that so i don't have to research historical shit#vs in canon verse fics it literally does not matterrrr what sewing techniques fit the time period best :|#silver.chat

Still fascinated by how much hate Mitsi gets for the whole "dead fem-coded loved one backstory" thing and all the hangups surrounding that when Purple's mom is arguably a much more egregious instance of the thing everyone is upset about Mitsi for but she ultimately got a pass because...idk, she was The First?
#animator vs animation#animation vs minecraft#avm shorts#avm#ava 11#ava11#this is me analyzing the fandom as much as it's me analyzing the actual series#idk maybe I'm missing something but I just#find it interesting that Mitsi gets all the vitriol seemingly just because she's the newest example#because when you look she's not the worst example at all#and part of me thinks that there's some underlying misunderstanding here#like. I get that everyone's mad she got fridged.#but the way some folks talk it's like they think her dying was her only contribution to the story#and that's not the case at all#she has so much more going on than Purple's mom did#she's a narrative foil and a character foil. she serves a thematic purpose as well as a plot one.#it's because of her that Victim was able to connect with anyone else. he loses touch with their community once she's gone.#Rocket was her idea! it exists because she wanted it to!#and now when we look back at the last two episodes we can see her haunting the narrative#we only learn enough about Gold and about Purple's Mom to make us sad for King and for Purple when they die#but we don't really miss them ourselves#because they don't really exist outside of King's and Purple's pasts#Mitsi feels so much better integrated because she exists in the story as more than just part of Victim's story#and her influence on the story doesn't end with her death#but it feels like people believe that her dying for Victim's backstory negates everything else she does for the story#and that's the only thing they see#but I'm wondering if she's the target of everyone's upset not just because she's the third backstory-death#and not just because she's only the second overtly fem-coded character and both died in their introductory episodes#but because there WAS more to her...so people are upset that she STILL died for someone else's story?#maybe

i have something to say 👩🏽🦯➡️
#the evolution in halsey’s music is what i expected from solo harry#i’ve been listening to her so much this past week or two and well. i’ve been thinking#obviously i think she’s a great artist. and the more i time i spend thinking abt it the more strongly i believe this#she’s giving me what i wanted harry styles to give me#and there’s a case to be made about artistic integrity vs art for the sake of capitalistic gain#which is where i think they primarily diverge#because with hs1 there was no real guarantee of success. commercial or critical#there was an existing (pop) fan base but none of us knew what he’d give us and whether we’d like it (enough to chart it anyway)#debuting with a 6 min rock ballad was a ballsy move and it remains one of his best work for a reason#hs1 as a body of songs will survive the test of time for a reason#it set fine line up for success with the average fan. and then he sold his soul to the devil with album 3#halsey has been on a completely different trajectory#with every album she caters less and less to critics and makes the art she Wants to make. tells the story she Wants to tell#she stopped chasing the charts a long long time and it shows in her writing!#anyway. if u get it then u get it and if you don’t then u dont#seedpost
