I feel like we significantly underestimate the amount of weird fucking people who must live in Rivendell. It's a sanctuary, it's run by a really nice cosmic horror, it's a place of healing, it's definitely haunted by now. And it's absolutely the place where all the elves who aren't allowed in civil society end up. There's an old Feanorian diehard living next to one of Thingol's bodyguards and they hate each other and constantly argue about who gets to guard Elrond. (Glorfindel never participates in the argument, but he usually wins it). There is at least one person who's absolutely supposed to be dead hiding there under a fake name. There's a whole flock of half-elves just kind of vibing there. I assume there's at least one reformed orc who like, works in the library.

Just, I'd love to hear about all the strange people who've washed up in Rivendell over the years because I bet there are some stories there. I want to write about my own OC blorbos but I have far too many WIPs as it is.

The way black and brown people are treated in fandom spaces is fucking horrific honestly, and people refuse to acknowledge it.

So many white people are so obsessed with the idea of fandom being a Safe Space that they completely disregard POC feelings. They’ll preach that they care about us sooo hard, but as soon as they have to put their money where their mouth is and actually act like they give a fuck, suddenly the Angry POCs are just “starting discourse” and “picking fights” and “ruining the fandom”

If you are told something you think or believe is actually racist and your first response is to fight tooth and fucking nail to defend yourself because you don’t want to have to care, you are racist. If you refuse to listen to POC when we say something or someone in a fandom space is problematic, you are racist. And it is so tiring.

White people will NEVER understand what it feels like to have to constantly defend yourself like this. When a fandom seems perfect and peaceful to YOU, it’s because none of the issues affect you. Being able to live in a blissful existence and forget racism exists so you can have fun with your stupid little fanfics and whitewashed fan art is a privilege not everybody has. Some of us need to be on the defense all the goddamn time just because white people want to “avoid discourse”

Fandoms will NEVER be a safe place for everybody until they stop being a safe place for racists. And that means white people have to start giving a shit about issues that don’t affect them.

In Every Fucking Episode, especially in season 5, Merlin is like, “things won’t always be like this, one day things will be better.” About magic being free, but he has ignored Every Single Opportunity to connect the dots and see that the time is now or never, the Golden Age of Camelot has been established, and Arthur needs to embrace magic, AND YET

Israel is setting up a complex system of checkpoints that will prevent men of “military age” from fleeing Rafah in preparation for its offensive on the southern Gaza border city, a senior western official familiar with Israel’s plans has told Middle East Eye on condition of anonymity. The checkpoints are designed to allow some women and children to leave Rafah ahead of an expected Israeli offensive, but unarmed, civilian Palestinian men will likely be separated from their families and remain trapped in Rafah during an expected Israeli assault. The previously unreported disclosure of Israel’s construction of a ring of checkpoints around Rafah underscores how Israel is pushing ahead with plans to attack the city where over one million displaced Palestinians are sheltering in tents and makeshift camps. The creation of gender-based checkpoints around Rafah would put a spotlight back on Israel’s practice of stripping and forcibly detaining male Palestinian men and children, as it faces rising scrutiny in the West of its conduct in the war. The rounding up of Palestinian males in Gaza and photographing them stripped to their underwear drew condemnation in December, with the US calling the images “deeply disturbing”. Relatives of many of the men photographed recognised them and said they had nothing to do with Hamas. Israel's military was later accused of staging footage of men surrounding weapons. “Israel considers every male a Hamas fighter until proven otherwise,” Abbas Dahouk, a former senior military advisor at the State Department and military attache in the Middle East told Middle East Eye. “It’s not a sound move. Cordoning Rafah is a daunting task and good luck separating fathers and sons from their families.”

This Wednesday (October 12) Spain celebrates "Día de la Hispanidad". On this day they expect us to celebrate Spanish colonialism.

I am taking action against it, but I want to make a call to action to drown all the fachas, fascistas y franquistas with the history of the countries that suffered the consequences of Spain's actions.

There will be a military parade where the royal family will be present. Make the news be about the crimes the Spanish crown commited, not what new dress the queen is wearing.
