The exact opposite of being doomed by the narrative

I discovered this game while playing with a group of friends on Halloween, and I must say it was quiet immersive because we each wanted different things so we always had to argue together on what to do before the Voices would Took 3 days to complete a single run

The urge to make him painfully hard when we're out in public.

To rub his inner thighs near his crotch while we're sitting next to each other, brush against his nipples by accident, whisper the most disgusting things into his ear, to kiss his pretty neck a second too long. To see him crumble, see his pupils dilate, his pants getting too tight.

To make him a dumb and blushy mess for me until he's not even able to talk, just waiting patiently like a good boy until I finally take him home.

Role reversal but because The Long Quiet is constant, it's just him as is in a princess dress. Lol

ICJ Ruling

Okay, let's get into this.

First of all, I get the frustration at the court not ordering a ceasefire. I was disappointed and frustrated at first too, since a ceasefire was the biggest and most important preliminary measure South Africa was requesting - and of course we just all want this horror to finally end for the people in Gaza. So I get the frustration and disappointment, I really do.

However, I do think this ruling is still a major win for South Africa, Palestine, and international law as a whole and here's why:

The court acknowledged that it has jurisdiction over this case and completely dismissed Israel's request to throw out the case as a whole. It will now determine at the merits stage (that will probably take years) whether Israel is actually commiting genocide.

The court acknowledged that Palestinians are a "distinct national or ethnic group and therefore deserving of protection under the genocide convention". Pull this out next time someone tells you "there's no such thing as Palestinians, they're all just Arabs".

The court acknowledged very unambiguously that "at least some" of Israel's actions being genocidal in nature is "plausible". South Africa has a case, officially. Israel is accused of genocide, in a way the ICJ deems "plausible", officially. This is huge. (And seriously, how freaking satisfying was it to hear all of those genocidal statements by Israeli politicians read out loud and used as justification for this rulling?)

The court might not have ordered a "ceasefire" in those words, but they did order Israel to "immediately end all genocidal acts" (which includes killing and injuring Palestinians) and submit proof that they actually did. How are they going to comply with this ruling without at least severly reducing or changing what they're doing in Gaza?

In fact, this wording might actually be more appropriate for a genocide (vs a war), as author and journalist Ali Abunimah notes on Twitter:

He's completely right. Israel lost today, by overwhelming majority (I mean, 15 to 2? I heard people predict the rulings would be very close, like 9 judges vs 8, but instead we got 15 to 2 (and even 16 to 1 on the humanitarian aid). Holy shit.) The court disimissed almost everything Israel's side of lawyers said, while acknowledging that South Africa's accusations are "plausible".

And this is important especially because of Mr Abunimah's second tweet there^. Because the question is, where do we go from here?

This ruling means that Israel is officially /possibly/ commiting genocide and that should have huge international consequences. The rest of the world now HAS to take these accusations seriously and stop arming and supporting Israel - and if they won't do it on their own, we, the people, have to make them. This is THE moment to rise up all around the world, especially in the countries most supportive of Israel (the US, the UK, Germany): Protest, call your representatives and demand a ceasefire and an end of arms deliveries to Israel.

We now have a legal case to back our demands: If Israel is, according to the ICJ, "plausibly" commiting genocide, then all of our governments are, according to the ICJ, "plausibly" guiltly of aiding in genocide. And we need to hold that over their heads and demand better. We need to do that right now and in huge numbers. Most politicians only care about themselves and saving their skin. We have to make them realize that they could be accused of aiding in genocide.

(As a German, I'm thinking of Germany here in particular: After South Africa's hearing, our government dismissed their case as having "no basis" - how are they going to keep saying that now that the ICJ officially thinks otherwise? Over the last months, people here have been arrested at protests for calling what's happening in Gaza a genocide. How are the police supposed to legally keep doing that now that the ICJ has officially deemed this accusation "plausible"? I used to be scared to use the word "genocide" at protests or write it on my protest signs - not anymore, have fun trying to arrest me for that when the ICJ literally has my back on this one 🖕🏻.)

So yeah - don't be defeatist about this, don't let Israel's narrative that they "won" (they didn't) take over. This might not be everything we wanted, but it's still a good result. Don't let what the court didn't say ("ceasefire"), distract you from the very important things that they did say. Let this be your motivation to get loud and active, especially if you live in any country that supports Israel. Put pressure on your governments to not be complicit in genocide, you now officially have the highest international court on your side.

This turned into them making up dialogues during the revisions, and they're too funny not to share, so here you go

“this episode could’ve been an email” WHY DO YOU HATE STORYTELLING SO MUCH!!! WHY DO YOU HATE WORLD BUILDING AND GETTING ANSWERS AND EXPLORING CHARACTERS!!!!

[tnsophiaayaonly]

Imagine... You, a vampire low-key mastering the art of pretending to be human because, be fr, humans are basically the worst about vampires. They freak out, throw pitchforks, call you “monster,” maybe try to roast you like marshmallows. So yeah, you keep your fangs tucked in, your voice down to a whisper, and your whole existence on dnd mode.

And then... Scaramouche. Rich, annoying, obnoxiously charming and somehow your class partner in this ridiculous blood project nobody asked for. (Spoiler: he’s not just rich and smart; he’s got that whole “brooding vampire novel cover model” look going on — indigo hair that looks like it’s been dipped in midnight, those sharp red-lined eyes that could probably cut glass, and pale skin so flawless you’d think he’s been photoshopped by angels.)

Ofc ts is fanfiction, he somehow finds out you’re a vampire.

Because Scaramouche, in all his over-the-top, borderline insane glory, is a massive fanfiction nerd who’s been secretly obsessed with vampires since forever. Like, he’s read all the cheesy vampire romance novels and watched every supernatural show, and now he’s convinced he needs to be bitten by one. Not for survival or anything normal, nooo, but just because he’s got this ridiculous kink for being bitten. Yeah. You heard that right.

Cue the million times he asks you to bite him.

“C’mon, just a little nibble? Please?” he pouts, flashing that infuriatingly smug grin.

“No,” you say firmly, because, duh, you don’t do casual biting like it’s candy.

But noooo, that doesn’t stop him. He’s relentless. Texts you during class, sliding into your DMs with “Biting is caring, you know,” and showing up with that damn smirk like he’s auditioning for getting bitten.

Eventually, you snap. Like, in the middle of some heated argument, you just bite him. Not a tiny nibble — full-on sink your fangs into his neck and drink a bit. And holy hell, the taste? He’s like a walking nectar fountain. You practically moan internally because, damn, his blood is something else.

He doesn’t just fall in love — he plunges headfirst into the abyss of obsession. Suddenly, he’s texting you 24/7, begging for “just a bite,” showing up with his neck exposed like it’s some twisted sacrificial altar. He’s forcing you to drink his blood more than you drink water. And don’t get me started on the borderline psychotic fits when you threaten to sip from someone else — yeah, he literally makes them disappear. Like, “Hey, that guy? Gone.” Creepy break-ins? Check. Stalking? Oh, double check.

And when you finally get fed up and tell him to fuck off?

He turns into a toxic ex. Suddenly, your little “biting arrangement” is a relationship, at least in his fucked up brain. He drags you back, demanding to be bitten again, like some emotional vampire junkie who needs your fangs as reassurance that you want him — no, need him — just as badly as he needs you.

Honestly? It’s exhausting, a little terrifying, and totally ridiculous. But hey, when you’ve got a rich, insane fang-obsessed stalker on your tail, what else are you gonna do?

And yea he's human ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Everything about this clip is so perfect

[vesna-v-irkutske]

Video from Nikita's YouTube channel, uploaded on December 1, 2009. They're watching TV without sound and voicing people on the screen. Artyom (reading the name of the news program; Nikita says something indistinct too): NOW. A small sound from Nikita, something between a chuckle and a cough. Artyom starts laughing and hitting the floor, Nikita joins him for a short moment. Artyom (talking about the news anchor's face): What a fucking mug! Fucking awful. (but more rude than that) Nikita (voicing the woman, in a stupid voice): HELLO, I'M A SILLY WOMAN. (Artyom chuckles) I have... (the scene changes to show some people) Oh, fuck (OR he says "Buryat", hard to tell), fuck off. (Nikita makes random sounds and growls, Artyom laughs) Nikita (reading the text in the bottom right corner, in a stupid voice): "Mongolia?" Fuck it, they'll be Buryats (a Mongolic ethnic group native to southeastern Siberia) anyway. (Artyom chuckles) AAAAAAAAHH! (Artyom laughs) Nikita starts speaking ("I- *something else*"), but Artyom interrupts him, voicing the man on the screen himself: I'm a Buryat, but I live here because I like communicating with Irkutsk people, they are all so kind, but they all beat me the fuck up. (Artyom tchk's with his tongue) Yeah. I also suck skins (skinheads) off. (Artyom takes a deep breath and makes random sounds, presumably trying to imitate the Buryat language)
