hey guys, i’m here to relieve you of your fear-mongering For You Page, here’s what we know:

1. this is not “world war 3”. that would be insane, unrealistic, unnecessary, and would never happen immediately off of one (albeit, awful) event like this. absolutely no country wants to go to war right now lol. anyone who makes any joke or post about “getting drafted” or “we’re all gonna die” has not done a lick of research, do not engage with it. plus, we’ve been at war with the middle east for ages, so for them, the timing of this attack is a bigger shock than the attack itself.

2. people in the US are not going to get hurt. more than likely, the worst this can get is some type of gulf war with the middle east limiting access to our resources, which still isn’t ideal. the best course of action for iran right now is to control what they can, which probably means cutting off the strait of hormuz, a strait that runs to the US (and other places) and provides it with resources like oil. (at least, that’s what i predict will happen based on the research i have done, but the resources part still stands). the US military is too advanced and too strong for an attack on US soil to be a strategic move for iran (a country with a population less than a third of the US’s) because they know that whatever they do, the US military will hit back even harder (that is apparent from one of trump’s latest social media posts… that heinous bitch 😒)

3. president trump wants you to be living in fear. that’s what his entire platform has been run on, along with lies and hypocrisy that more and more people are starting to see through. whatever happens in the future, this will be a huge turning point for a lot of individuals who may or may not care about who they voted for. but for those who did not ask for this, here’s what we can do:

stop making everything about the fear in the US and do what you can to lift up the people of iran, the people who were actually attacked, especially if this situation progresses any further. if military attacks do break out, it will most likely be on iranian soil, not the US’s, so do your best to try to be selfless, even through the fear.

please for the love of god do your own research, and keep it as unbiased as possible. news articles, reports, even historical articles, anything is better than scrolling through tiktok or tumblr and making your anxiety even worse. don’t even take what i say as fact! yes i’ve done research, but things can (and will) change, so it’s best to stay updated in whatever way you can.

spread positivity, build community, and gather information. as civilians, that is our current best course of action, and our collective greatest strengths. living in fear is feeding into what our government wants you to feel like so you’re easier to control. do not let them.

this is my own pet peeve, but stop saying “we bombed iran” or “we started a war”. WE did not do anything. donald trump did. that is not the america i associate with, nor should it be the one you associate with, either.

lastly, and i’ll say this until i die, everything is going to be okay. there will be issues, of course, but it won’t last forever, i promise. take a break from doomscrolling and get a good night’s rest. stay safe 🫶

I want to make one thing extremely clear- all the memes that USAmericans are making about the bombing of Iran are extremely fucking insensitive. Get a sense of self-awareness, people fucking died. This isn't about you.

I read in twitter that the editor first suggested for Ko Yongha to look exactly like Sai, but Hotta refused.

I don't know if that's true (the source is a photo of the commentary, in Korean lol) but if it is, then that's evil genius and I really would like to know how Hikaru would react.

Also there is fanart, which is absolutely diabolical.

(rough google translation)

When Ko Young-ha appeared in the storyboard, Mr. Takahashi, who was in charge, made a surprising suggestion: "Should we make the visuals similar to Sai?" (?!)

I rejected it outright (hehe) and only asked to draw him in a way that shows the feeling of Korea, a Go powerhouse, well.

I really like how the anime gave Tsuitsui a girlfriend, and I wonder if any fanon names for her exist or else I'll give her one and adopt her as my OC

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

Headcanon on things that don't really matter

When Hikaru made an account in NetGo, the reason for why the nickname "Sai" was available was because the site was brand new, that's why it was being shown in a Go event and Waya got an early access to the beta for being an insei. The site became available publicly after the event and that's when Hikaru joined (because he wouldn't have known how to use an early access code lol)

[monoukotori]

All the characters from before the insei arc suffer from an illness called "I love you and I wish I could have spent more time with you but the author (and Hikaru) has moved on and the story has left you behind"

girl shocked to discover that inaction can have consequences too

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

I love how elegant and dapper people always draw Akira in fanart, taking in account that he would wear shit like this unnironically

[monoukotori]

The only correct way to ship Hikaru and Akari is as doomed yuri, if you ship them as an hetero couple Hikaru becomes completely insufferable

And I also don't mean "genderbend Hikaru" he's still a man and his relationship with Akari is still doomed yuri

[monoukotori]

At this point that's foreplay

Akira's love language is stalking
