I cannot imagine the state of fear Iranians have been in these past months and yet still find the strenght and the courage to fight back againts the regime.

Whenever I see a post that tells the names or shows the faces of the victims in Iran, my heart breaks. For them and their families. For everyone in and outside of Iran that either risk their lives or wonder if a relative is safe.

I am not Iranian but that does not stop me from talking about it, so it shouldn't stop you. Let's not make this in another trend that in a month or two will go old like BLM or the "situation" in Ukraine.

There are tons of videos on tik tok made by Iranians telling you how you can help, and hopefully the revolution will success as soon as possible.

[omg-justshutup]

Ok, on the 2nd of October I say this:

I never, and I mean NEVER would've thought the word about Meloni would spread so much and so fast. All I see now are French and English videos on tik tok talking about her, what kind of person she is. She's also been on the Romanian news.

On one side, good. People know what shit we're getting into. On the other side though I feel kind of ashamed for Italians.

Either way, apparently Sweden is choosing a kind of right turn as well. (I hope you know what "right" I'm talking about). Hungary's no longer a democracy. I see jokes about AUR arise again after two years (Romania).

Let's just say USA isn't the only place where time seems to go backwards apparently.

Giorgia Meloni ha vinto le elezioni

Giorgia Meloni won the elections

This is not a thought of the day, this is a warning of the day. Barely two hours ago we found out Fratelli d'Italia won with 44% of the votes. Gioria Meloni will be Italy's new prime minister for who knows how many years.

But perhaps I'm overreacting, maybe it won't be so bad with her as prime minister. Or maybe Italy will end up like Hungary.

Just this morning I saw a video with a gay couple that have two young children talking about how they will have to make a big decision once the answer is out. They might have to leave their own country because the party ruling is against gay marriage and adoption for gay couples. Just like they're against islamization and foreigners. Personally I could easly be targeted from multiple points. I'm not italian, I'm not catholic, and I'm not heterosexual and I don't even identify as cis. And I don't know what to expect anymore.

Per tutti gli italiani, o comunque persone che vivono in Italia, si spera che per le prossime elezioni, che sperando saranno molto presto, faremmo una scelta migliore.

Di sicuro le prossime elezioni non saranno molto vicine, ma io almeno, essendo una persona pessimista, non so come si farà ad andare avanti.

Thought of the day:

I wasn't sure if to talk about this, since this whole profile is more about me talking about my shit and my stories, because yes, I write.

But since I talked about Armenia and Kyrgyzstan, I thought I should talk about two more things:

1. Iran

2. The 25th of September in Italy

So I'm 90% sure almost everyone heard about what happened to Mahsa Amini, a 22 year old iranian woman that ended up dead because she wasn't wearing her hijab properly. I've seen tons of tik toks talking about this but I still wanted to talk about two things regarding this topic.

First of all I wanted to share what happened even if barely anyone knows who I am, I still think anyone should at least try to spread the word to bring awareness. What's happening right now in Iran is horrible and it's really sad and scary to think people live in a country where they don't even have access to internet anymore, people not being able to hear from their own family living there, knowing just that there are protests and people getting killed because of it.

This brings me to my second point about Iran: the whole cutting your hair thing. I saw videos with people shaving their head, and people reacting to this, saying that unless you are affected by the strict law to wear the hijab, cutting your hair will only give you sympathy points and do little to nothing for the people in Iran, which I do think is true, also because I'm partially scared this whole thing will turn into another trend where people talk about real and serious issues for a couple of weeks and then forget about it entirely.

Now my second topic, which I think is much less known.

So on the 25th September, which means tomorrow, there will be the elections for a new prime minister in Italy. I know since the elections are tomorrow, I wouldn't exactly be allowed to talk about it, but I doubt this will make any change, so I just hope more people at least learn about this.

The problem with these elections is not that they're happening and where, it's who might win. As much as people imagine Italy as another western and modernized country in both technology and mentality, I sadly have to break the second one. Many Italians still have old nationalistic mentalities, I first handedly had to go through it. Many of them are racist, xenophobic, homophobic, islamophobic, you got it. But you know who is all those things all together? An Italian politician that might win the elections: Giorgia Meloni.

Giornia Meloni is the president of Fratelli d'Italia, a conservative party. She has also been called, and still is, fascist. When she was around 20 years old, she stated that Mussolini was a good politician. Italians and all foreigners that live here already have an idea with what she'll do if she wins and I could stay here list everything I know but I guess I'll give some tips to make everyone understand even more why I think this should be known more:

compulsory military service for all Italians;

prohibition to build any more Mosques and all Muslims must pray in Italian so everyone can understand what they're saying;

maximum number of foreign students per class.

I could also go on and prove even more the racism and also homophobia in almost everything she wants and says but I'm pretty sure these three points say it all.

The worst of all is, even if Meloni doesn't win, there are other parties with pretty much the same mentality that have as much of a chance to win as Fratelli d'Italia, and many Italians tried their best on the Italian side of tik tok to prove to as many people as possible to vote correctly at these elections, but we're still afraid we barely made a change. Already Hungary is not being considered a Democracy anymore, and now apparently it's a hybrid regime of electorial autocracy, which causes some problems in the European Union, all we need is an Italy with a fascist prime minister.

I apologize if I got any information wrong, everything I wrote was straight from my memory and knowledge, but even if I wrote a name or a small fact wrong, the idea of both points must've been clearly made anyways.

[omg-justshutup]

Thought of the day:

I actually wanted to say this yesterday but completely forgot I have tumblr and I can just complain here.

So my question is: did you know Armenia and Kyrgyzstan are being invaded?

Answer: of course you didn't unless you come from any of those countries or the ones invading them (Azerbaijan and Tajikistan).

Or unless you're a person that just like me had the luck to hear about it on the internet (from literally two creators that come from Armenia and Kyrgyzstan).

So I won't be explaining what happened and why because I don't exactly know all the details since uh I don't kind of have anyone talking about it to learn more. What I want to say though is how absolutely no one is talking about any of those countries and what's going on, unlike Ukraine.

Now don't get me wrong, I truly think Ukraine deserves all the help it's recieved and all the Ukrainians as well. The only thing that gets on my nerves is how many people complained about how Ukraine got so much advertisment and help and so many other countries outside of Europe don't get even a quarter of this all. Well now I'm really curious where are these people that were bitching about this all? Where are their videos about Armenia? Or Kyrgyzstan? Do people think that joining a trend on tik tok where you act like you care about Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, etc.. then they're automatically the good guy and care about people and are smart?

I genuinely would like to learn what's going on between these four countries, I talked about it with any person crossing my path that I believe would be interested, and I'll keep doing it. I just hate how now I see no one, and I mean NO ONE talking about neither Armenia and Azerbaijan, nor Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. It's disappointing. Truly.

[omg-justshutup]

Thought of the day contenued (?):

I literally just saw on ig some comments about Cleo's new design, one saying she looks more like Robecca and another saying she gives Isabela Madrigal vibes, and I realized how true this is 😭

I guess they took Robecca's colour palette and Isabela's looks and said "now mix,,.

Anyways this is more about a small add to everything I said a while ago:

Did they really freaking make Manny a teacher??? Or they deleted Manny's character but created a minotaur teacher?

I also wanted to add the fact that I saw Draculaura's new doll and the only nice thing I can say is that I appreciate the body rappresentation. Really that's all I can say about that but thought I should say it anyway.

Thought of the day:

It's pretty obvious from my profile that I am a fan of Monster High. I used to watch it ever since I was a child and now that Nickelodeon wants to do a reboot of it everyone is talking about it. But why so much hate?

I will be honest, I don't like this reboot just like I didn't like the 2016 one. The originals are the originals. But what makes those reboots be so hated? I saw many comments on instagram talking about the redesigns, people hating the most the new versions of Clawdeen, Cleo, Lagoona and Heath and how many things make no sense, like Draculaura wanting to learn witchcraft that is apparently forbidden.

This other person posted on instagram an explanation on how this new reboot is about Monster High but it's not the same world and that's why things are so different. But my personal opinion is, if Nickelodeon wanted to take the idea of Monster High but change it as they please, they might as well rename it and change the names of the characters completely and say they just got inspired. It's obvious people are going to compare it to the original since the story is exactly the same just the characters' designs changed and the backstories.

But why don't we go after each character since I have something to say about each one we've seen so far:

Frankie Stein

The animated design is not so bad, and that is true. My personal problem is how she was in the live action, no offence to the actress, I just think they failed in her looks. The backstory fairly enough is the exact same, and personally the they/them pronouns don't bother me at all, it doesn't sound like something that scandalous and it's pretty nice that the LGBTQ+ comunity is starting to be normalized.

Overall, not the worst reboot, still sad they changed her/them so much in looks even if the base is the same

Clawdeen Wolf

I will say it right away, the actress is beautiful, how she was dressed in the live action is not. I do not like anything about this new Clawdeen. They didn't do a 180 to her, but they were close enough. They managed to change Clawdeen from a strong, sassy girlboss to this geeky half normie werewolf and I can see that many people are sad and offended because of this.

So first of all why make her so geeky and clumsy looking? I heard the opinion of someone from the internet saying that they saw the curly hair and the cute redesign of 2016 and thought "Gives off gamer vibes", as funny as that sounds I'm afraid that's actually the logic behind this design. Also the backstory is just something else

"Half-human & Half-werewolf, Clawdeen is thrilled to join Monster High, despite the challenge of being a half-monster in a school of full monster students,,

Ok so I'm guessing Jackson-Holt is not going to be a character in the reboot just like Casta is either inexistant or in prison.

Draculaura

No.

She's not the worst, the redesign isn't necesserely bad. It's just not Draculaura much. If it wasn't for the black-pink combo, I would've never guessed she was Draculaura. Now a thing that might be influenced by my ethnic background but as I'll talk about it later, I might as well say it now: for some characters, the actors were chosen based on the nationality of the character, I feel like this reboot deleted Draculaura's connection to Transylvania/Romania and it's kind of sad. She is Dracula's daughter after all, isn't she? I heard some people's excuses saying "But she isn't his biological daughter". That does not change the fact that we know Draculaura still comes from Romania. Maybe being Romanian isn't all that important for her character but it was part of her identity and I think it's unfair to change any possible character to a different nationality/ethnicity/race no matter what.

Cleo De Nile

I heard quite the comments for this design. I don't hate it. It just doesn't give Cleo vibes much. I like the idea of darker skin, it really isn't a big deal. The outfit is actually pretty and I do believe it might be more culturally accurate. The colour palette is too Nefera though and that is something I don't personally like. What I read about her backstory, all in all she does sound the same much or less. Not the worst reboot in my personal opinion. But see how the actress is arab from what I'm seeing? They tried their best to make Cleo as egyptian as possible but they didn't do the same for Draculaura or Lagoona as I'll get to that soon.

Lagoona Blue

I hate her.

I'm sorry, I do. Her design, her character, they ruined her. She's suddently an ocean unicorn and despite the outfit that all in all in the animation doesn't seem that bad, they made her too girly, it's like she lost her sporty identity. Now my personal biggest question: why did they make her latina? Why did they change her, why isn't she australian anymore? Yeah, Draculaura lost her romanian identity, Lagoona basically switched from australian to latina and for what exactly? I do believe southamericans deserve rappresentation, everyone does and some more than others, but that does not give the right to take away certain rappresenation and change a character especially since there are Monster High characters that rappresent latinos already. Nationality rappresentation is still a thing and it's sad australians don't have their Lagoona anymore in my opinion and I'm not even nearly australian, it's just like how I feel about Draculaura, changing someone's ethnicity/race for me is unacceptable in any case unless it's your own original character.

It wasn't hard to give the same backstory to Lagoona where she grew up underwater mainly and barely knows how's it like to live on land and let her still be australian. Or is it just me?

Toralei Stripe

This must be the least bad redesign in this reboot. The style is almost the same at the end of the day and the vibes seem the same too. The only thing that ruined her is her background. Why is she suddently rich and elite? It's not the worst idea but I just don't think it suits her. I actually don't have much to say about her after this.

Deuce Gorgon

I will be honest, not that bad either. To me this still looks like Deuce despite the green skin. And no offence to the actor but he did look better in the live action than he does in the picture. The backstory seems fairly Deuce enough I just don't get why they gave more personality and power to his hair than to him. Also something I didn't mention earlier so I shall mention now;

Why, just why- did they ship Deuce with freaking Clawdeen?

Like yeah I get it, different worlds. Well different worlds my as-

Out of all the ships they could've made, they just HAD to ruin one of the main ships from the original version.

Heath Burns

I genuinely believe they have something against Heath. What the hell is wrong with his hair? What is that cursed thing? I don't think I even need to explain why the design is offensive to the original Heath. The fact that he's now greek doesn't change much to me, I honestly don't know what was his original nationality, I have this feeling he was american and in this case changing him wasn't the worst even if I still don't agree with changing nationalities. But the design is just horrible.

Headmistress Bloodgood

This design is actually cute. Kinda lost the scary but I don't have much to say to this. I don't know the original nationality of Bloodgood either so I actually don't know if to hate or actually like the diversity even if Monster High has always been diverse from every point aside for body size.

We've been shown more characters but these 9 are the ones we've seen the most so far. But anywho, how do you like those reboots? So far all cartoons that had one just went downhill. Do you think it would've been for the best if the essence of the characters was stayed put or do you actually consider the og MH and the 2022 reboot two different stories? I think it's for the best if I do so too. Also I highly doubt I'll be able to see the film or the cartoon regardless but if I do I WILL be judging the smallest shit ever.

Thought of the day:

Have you ever had the thought of writing a book?

To me it seems like these days it's so easy to say you want to become an artist of some sort and some people might actually support you. But I always felt like it was also natural to be aware of the fact that you have very low chances of becoming someone with this or being able to live even an average life this way. We all know at this point how many artists we know today became truly famous and appreciated just after they died and most likely in misery and in poverty.

But aside for that I also feel like art has lost its power. It seems so easy to find an artist nowadays and as long as you have a bit of talent it seems so easy to paint a flower, write a poem.

[omg-justshutup]

Ok but am I like- the only one that thinks it's fair if everyone ships Slytherin and Hufflepuff, then Gryffindor and Ravenclaw should be the other ship? Their dynamic is something to die for-

Change my mind. Oh wait you can't 🙄
