It's racist, my dear, to be blunt. People come from outside, they think we're all witches and druids. For God's sake, child, you walked into a piece of string!

"Exhausted Doctoral Psychology Intern" What is an interesting snippet of your life? This really made me curious!
Iâm getting my Psy.D. in Clinical Psych and Iâm terrible at taking my own advice so Iâm usually pretty tired đ
Iâve had practicum rotations where I was supervised doing forensic assessments, working with people on SOTP, providing disability assessments, and working in community mental health. Iâm currently working at a university counseling center and absolutely loving it.
An interesting snippet of my life is that I have been a therapy patient AND provider. And my first therapist lost his license to an ethical violation.
To preface this story - psychologists have REALLY strict ethics - thereâs not a lot to it, tbh, itâs easy enough to be ethical most of the time but, itâs strict. The top 3 rules of ethics are, in order, 1) Do NOT fuck your patients, 2) Donât violate confidentiality (unless you can - deidentifying info, ROIs, mandated reporting, etc., are all situations that can allow for info to be shared, albeit loosely), and 3) DO. NOT. FUCK. YOUR. PATIENTS.
But before getting into my Psy.D. Program, I didnât know this. I had been told by my former therapist that the ethics board is ravenous for licenses. That they are out for blood and the tiniest ticky-tacky violation of documentation rules would get your license revoked. So I go into my first ethics class SO scared because I am convinced I need to learn everything and never make any mistakes ever ever ever in my life ever.
Our ethics professor is a story by himself - he was dying of lung cancer or something and was an unhinged cranky asshole to everyone he felt like being shitty to. BUT. Part of our learning involved listening to ethics board meetings, and the day of the board meeting assignment fell two days after the professor died, so we were told to listen to an old board meetings and do the assignment like that instead. And that's how I learned that they record old ethics board meetings, going back for DECADES. This did three things for me:
It showed me that my old therapist had lost his license for sending dick pics to a patient in an abusive relationship. Rough way to learn that, but it was good to know that I was not in danger of losing my license for not documenting something exactly right.
2. It showed me that the licensing board is actually fairly lenient - there is a shortage of mental healthcare providers, so they don't take a provider out of the pool unless it is necessary. I've read about therapists who let client's live with them as servants in exchange for free therapy, therapists who have provided medical care so far out of their scope of practice it's laughable, and therapists who have provided evaluations of people they've never met based on 2nd- or even 3rd-hand information, and not lost their license. If anything they're almost TOO lenient.
3. There are some FUCKING WILD stories of bad therapists. My best one, though, is one from the late 70s or early 80s. It was a guy licensed to work with Medicare and Medicaid who took a young divorced mom onto his caseload. He broke rules #1 and #3 and fucked his patients, and this one was included; however, this client had extensive trauma and needed longer-term care. So the fact that she was being double-billed for each session - once for the therapy and once for the sex, was found out by her because she was permitted to have 12 sessions a year before an appeal needed to be made and she had reached her limit after 6 sessions.
So she sues the guy, who changes his name and flees the state to practice in a different state - in the years before the internet he was hard to track down. To my knowledge they never tracked him down. But the thing that is wild is that in the 70s and 80s government insurances paid the LEAST for therapy. So this guy was billing himself as a male sex worker, but was making like $60-70 for an hour of post-therapy sex. The guy was making so little he would have actually made more money by just seeing patients in that timeframe.
So anyways, the TL;DR is a shitty therapist took advantage of a traumatized young mom to get his dick wet and then billed insurance for an insanely low amount compared to what he could have made as either a good therapist or an actual sex worker.
I guess the moral of the story is don't half-ass two things if you can whole-ass one thing?

TFA TEAM PRIME HUMAN REDESIGNS FINALLY
FUCK
+headcannons
Optimus: gotta stay focused
looks too old compared to his bot form.
I find it impossible for Optimus to be more than a million years old in this canon. In the least, he's older than 1000 years and since we have mfs that are canonically over 70 million years old(fagatron iykyk) compared to that, he feels like a dude in his early-to-mid-30's being the group parent.
---
-I made him more youthful, gave him curly hair, and tailored his clothing to actually look like his bot form.
-workaholic
-on the cusp of barley being able to hold his liquor
-doesn't own a pair of pajamas until Sari gets some for him
-usually forgets to put them on, but appreciates the gesture
-stays active for like, 3 days until he can't fight off sleep with work brain anymore, and unceremoniously passes out on the couch to sleep for a full 24 hours
-ratchet sighs and puts a blanket over him as per routine
-frequently checks security feed
-elf on the shelf despiser
-early morning talks with jazz and ratchet over coffee (they all wake up at 6 am)
-half thrives on caffeine and a vigorous training protocol
-is a dog person, loves German shepherds to death
David sama, pls forgive me ily very much
Ratchet: to old for this nonsense
doesn't match his body type in the slightest.
Ratchet is really old, he's got a sallow face and a gramp gut, how dare they square him. He's wayyy too angular and peachy looking.
-I gave him his luscious curves back, adding all the equipment id expect a field medic to have because he is a field medic, not a regular doctor. I changed his facial proportions, and also made his face gaunt, for that dead inside PTSD look.
---
-drinks his coffee black with brown sugar, literally drinks it piping hot
-is one of those old people who complains about noise
-confiscates bumblebee and Sari's toy cars, and puts them in a high up cabinet
-neither of them know how to bypass the child safety lock lmao
-casual clothes includes a lot- a l o t of plaid shirts, and 10 pairs of the same blue jeans
-tunes out bulkhead and prowls convos about birdwatching
-big fan of political satire dramas
-Sentinel doesn't approve
-Ratchet doesn't give a rats ass about what he thinks of course
Bumblebee: professional smart-ass
doesn't match his body type/age.
Bumblebees holoform is presented as a 10-12 year old child specifically for the fact that he's short, and the comedic relief. Total ass
I set his human age as 19-20 years old, making him more of a big brother to sari because that og model is disappointingly lackluster
---
-Bumblebee is a scrappy wisecracking punk, like an adhd kid who just got roller skates for Christmas.
-since he doesn't have wheels, I feel like he'd wear skates instead to emulate the feeling
-terrible at watching where he's going cuz he's too busy trying to show off, so ratchet makes him wear all that padding + training wheels
-legit despises the padding and training wheels
-Jealous of Blurr for mastering roller blades lmao.
-his favorite games are choose your fighter and fps
-saw ONE ancient ass assassins creed playthrough and begged ratchet to install hidden tasers in his arm bands (was denied)
-Sari used her key to do it instead
-self appointed "rizzler"
-Optimus has zero idea of what that means and thinks it's code for something dubious
-Ratchet knows what it means and thinks it's silly
-"I' was something of a rizzler myself back in my day, kid"
-bumblebee cringes
-loves summer and swimming
-wants to be the fastest thing in the sea because y'know, it's bumblebee
-is spooked from the beach for awhile cuz he saw sharks in Prowls nature documentary
-there are infact, no sharks in lake Erie
Bulkhead: big guy, bigger heart
doesn't match his body type/aspirations.
Jesus fuck he's so wide?? And his belly migrated to his shoulders?? I'm gonna be honest, I really hate this design. I feel like it contributed to the "brute strength = stupid" take that most in the fandom associates with him.
---
-Bulkhead is a SWEET. CARING. NERD YOU FOOLS. He's like the male version of a tall goth gf-
-a tall-nerdy-farm hand-physics bf, You got me fucked up.
-Its already shown that bulkhead really likes art in Addition to creating it. He hates being only seen as the "muscle" so it wouldn't make sense for him to lean into that.
-bunny slippers that him and sari made together(she provided the buttons)
-the slippers go missing sometimes (basically considered community property unless he's wearing them)
(ratchet and prowl are the main offenders)
-frequent art museum goer
-really likes watching cooking shows, but is too shy to make food himself
-Owns a ton of star maps
-Really wants a treehouse that he, bumblebee and sari can hang out in
-pillowfort enjoyer
-casually reads quantum physics at the beach
Prowl: draft dodger
Doesn't look like him at all.
Prowls holoform being a mustachioed,white, police officer was an actual jumpscare for 7 y/o me, I kid you not
---
- I know this bitch would not wear a helmet (you can't force him to) que windswept hair
-Not as much as starscreams, for obvious reasons but yk
-prowl is like one of those "shoes are a prison for your feet"
-emo hipster
-has a pet cactus named "planty"
-bumblebee heckles him for it
-can and has brought his cactus with him on early evening motorcycle rides
-the helmet is reserved for his cactus, bring your own >:(
-salad consumer
-him and jazz share custody of the cactus
-repeat victim of the cat distribution system
-ratchet has probably spent hours telling him they can't keep any animals at base
-frequent midnight picnics with jazz
-and beachcombing
-and roaming around antique stores cuz jazz wants to know what vinyl records are
-got a mug with an attempted pink chibi cat with big round shiny eyes painted onto it, courtesy of bulkhead trying to find an artsyle
-cherishes this mug to death
-has a shrine dedicated to it

⤠Amnesia Fics â¤
A series of posts with the top five fics of each category by kudos plus five more hidden gems from that category! Remember to leave kudos and a comment on the fics you enjoyed to show your appreciation! You can find the library's other recs here.
- Top 5 H/L Fics -
1ď¸âŁ For As Long As I Can Remember (It's Been December) by green_feelings / @greenfeelings {E, 128k}
After recovering from a severe accident that causes Harry to lose his memory of three years, he moves to London to start his life over as a star chef. Little does he know that when he falls in love with Louis at first sight, itâs not the first time they meet.
Featuring an unintentional game of hot and cold, Harry chasing memories that wonât come back, Louis burying himself in work to try and forget what he canât forget, Liam being torn between two of his best friends, Zayn as a moral compass and Niall saving the day with good music and brutal honesty.
2ď¸âŁ take my hand (and my heart and soul) by bananasandboots / @anylessreal {M, 45k}
Harry feels nauseous when he opens his mouth. "Hey. Um, hi. It's me," he mumbles before realizing with a jolt that Louis might not have his number anymore. "It's Harry... Styles," he tacks on, screwing his eyes shut and pinching the bridge of his nose. This was a terrible idea.
There's silence on the other end for a long time. Harry understands. He shouldn't have called. He tries not to let the static swallow him whole.
"I â yeah. Hi," Louis finally answers, slowly, awkwardly. "I um. Sorry. I heard about your accident. You're alright?"
Or, the one where Harry hasn't spoken to his best friend in sixteen months and can't remember why.
3ď¸âŁ Fugue by iwillpaintasongforlou / @canonlarry {E, 16k}
Harry falls asleep a 17 year-old who lives in Cheshire and is probably rockstar Louis Tomlinson's biggest fan. He wakes up 24 with a wedding ring on his finger, two kids, and Louis Tomlinson attempting to wake him up with a blow job. The doctor calls it organic retrograde amnesia, says he might never get back the last seven years of his life. The only thing that feels the same is how he feels when Louis touches him, and maybe that's enough to make him fall in love all over again.
4ď¸âŁ The Dead of July by whimsicule / @baroness-elsa {M, 117k}
Being an Avenger means continuing to be Captain America and smiling and being honorable for the public and Harry does his best. But it doesnât give him time to figure out who he is supposed to be once he takes off his uniform and puts the shield to the side. Just being Harry had always involved Louis, and Harry fears he doesnât know how to exist without him.
or: Harry is Captain America, and Louisâ been dead for 70 years.
5ď¸âŁ Indestructible by whoknows {E, 24k}
âHi,â Harry murmurs, and Louis hiccups out a sob.
âHi,â he manages, still clutching onto Harryâs shoulders. Harryâs fingers drift across Louisâ cheeks, and thereâs something off about Harryâs expression, but Louis canât figure out what it is.
âIâm okay,â Harry says, and Louis is going to say something to that, even if he doesnât know what, except Harryâs kissing him.
Louis freezes.
HIDDEN GEMS:
đ Stand By Me by MsHydeStylinson / @mizzhydes {E, 100k}
He was almost home when his eyes caught the text sprayed on the wall saying âTreat People With Kindnessâ. Yeah, right. He couldnât help but laugh bitterly. How naĂŻve are some people? The world was too fucking unfair to even consider thinking like that. One day, sooner or later, they would learn their lesson just like everyone else and their own carefully built little Shangri-La would collapse in the blink of an eye. Just like Harryâs had. Poof, and everything had gone.
Or, In the wake of a tragic event, Harry left home at the age of nineteen, leaving behind everything he ever loved. The only thing that kept him going was his passion for music and his dream of making it big in the entertainment world.
What happens when Harry later encounters the man who once broke his heart? Is it possible to find forgiveness for the person who bitterly betrayed him? Could love really prevail despite the trauma he carries with him from his past?
đ Jade by Halos_Boat / @halohamilton {M, 91k}
Harry was in a shipwreck, lost at sea with an injury to his head that causes him to lose part of his memory. Louis happens to notice the boy and dives in to rescue him, then aiding him to health again with his motherâs help.
Harry may have lost part of his memory, part of his life, but he gained something better than he could have ever imagined; he fell in love with Louis.
But, the life that Harry couldn't remember may just come between them.
The Amnesia AU where Harry and Louis still end up falling in love.
đ I'm Praying (that you don't burn out or fade away)Â by @lululawrence {NR, 74k}
âLouis,â Harry breathed happily. His smile widened as he realized heâd finally found him, and he was stood before his soulstar. This was the closest theyâd been in 31 Earth years, which had felt extraordinarily long for Harry, even in his star form. He could hardly withhold his happiness at seeing him again.
âErm, yeah,â Louis said, interrupting Harryâs thoughts with his brows furrowing and looking clearly suspicious. âAnd you are?â
Harry and Louis are literal stars who have known they were soulmates from their creation eons ago, however when Louis came to Earth to start the next phase of their fated future, he forgot everything. Even Harry.
This leaves Harry to break the rules and instead of waiting for Louis to call him and join him on Earth, he crashes down on his own. Without Louis there to guide him and help him learn how to adjust to having a human body and everything associated with that, Harry has no other choice but to do the best he can.
As Harry tries to correct what has gone wrong, he finds that friendship can be a light even in the darkest night, and through those bonds even separated soulstars can find their fated path once more.
đ Making Waves by @haztobegood {E, 30k}
After Louis Tomlinson, an arrogant millionaire, is thrown overboard and loses his memory, a mistreated employee convinces him that they are married. Thrust into an unfamiliar life he cannot remember, Louis must learn to live with his new husband and daughters and adjust to a less extravagant life.
Or, the one where Louis canât remember, Harry needs money, and Niall has a plan. An Overboard AU.
đ i forget (but i remember you) by honey_beeing {T, 3k}
Where Harry has anterograde amnesia and needs Louis's help sometimes.

house headcanons âĄ



and if you disagree with any of these no you don't. i'm actually best friends with david shore. hope this helps! <3
sweet , funny , & fluffy
has definetely said "alright relax it wasn't that funny" when one of the ducklings laughed a li'l too hard at one of his jokes.
loves campy, cult classic movies from the 70's-80's. the rocky horror picture show? tell me he wouldn't eat that tf up.
actually eats like a racoon. especially when he's runing low on groceries. will scavenge through his pantry for days on end like a starved ww2 soldier before his gets his ass out of his apartment and goes shopping. has been caught eating all kinds of dastardly concotions as "meals" like pickle slices, stale bread, and shredded cheese. it gets so bad to the point wilson has gone shopping for him on multiple occasions.
literally just a portable heater. this man is a walking heat rock. warm all the time.
cringe warrior. i mean, this one is essentially canon. he kidnapped the star of one his favorite soaps to keep it from being derailed by his death and fangirled the whole time (s4e14). was literally in love with a book series about a boy detective everyone, including the author herself, said was "targeted towards teenage girls" and admitted to being in online fan clubs (early s7). he is actively consumed by his fixations on random media. would go to conventions for his interests if he "had just a little less self respect" in his words.
cameron found his reading glasses very endearing at some point, going as far to tell him he looked cute with them, promptly making him extremely embarrased about needing them for the next month and a half.
has copies of little women and pride & prejudice stashed somwhere away in his house
big on collecting random shit he finds. just picks up pebbles, moss, pennies, and whatever the fuck else he can find on the ground
in true middle aged white man fashion, has named most of the instruments and cars he has owned throughout his life (definetely named the 60's red corvette from s1 some vintage stripper name).
more angsty (?)
actually very jumpy when spooked. the only reason nobody's really ever seen it is because he's pretty difficult to scare.
has never been squeamish. long before he became a doctor, he was never peeved out by gross bodily stuff. people always found it weird how neutral he was towards the idea of vomiting, bleeding, etc.
pre-infarction, was actually very quick and nimble on his feet. it's one of the things he misses the most.
in the early days of the infarction, where the pain was arguably at its worst (from his perspective) due to just how not used to it he was, he would pull all nighters, doing nothing but laying in bed rotating the idea of amputating his leg over and over in his head.
elaborating on this, though he would rather die than admit it, not amputating is genuinely one of the biggest regrets he has in life.
despises being outside in cold weather for prolonged periods of time because it triggers memories of when he was forced to sleep in the grass as a kid.
more on his childhood, he was genuinely so sweet in the earlier years, nobody who knows him now would believe it was the same person. fed stray animals, said his prayers every night before bed, loved hugs, the whole thing. it didn't last very long. by the time he reached the double digits he gave it up.
anyways queens that's all! what did we think? did we like this? please let me know if there are other characters you want me to do. and if you don't agree with these don't be rude about it or i will start crying

I know Tumblr is the place of eternal youth where finding out someone is in their thirties causes some kind of site wide panic, but I found this today and it put me in my feels.
youtube
And this comment kind of hit me:
âIâm 53 now, and while I love these years I must say itâs a difficult decade. Many of us start realising that we have more years behind us than ahead of us, and often weâre saying goodbye to our parents during these years⌠What is clear in these pictures though is that our personalities tend to stay true and we try to find joy and laughter where we can.â
Thereâs this thing I only started to notice recently, where people think because youâre older you donât have passions and hobbies and weird fucking fandom obsessions. But you need to understand, my mind is in its twenties, it still thinks about mosh pits and festivals, still obsesses over the minutiae of my favourite tv shows from thirty years ago, still wants to wear glitter eyeliner to work and go drinking all night with my friends.
And thatâs fine, but the body starts to fail you, you do something you wouldnât have thought twice about as a youngster and suddenly something hurts, but your brain doesnât say âdonât do that, youâre too old!â because it doesnât fucking know! Itâs twenty two and thinking about that awesome Megadeth show and how you got kicked in the head but it was so cool, and youâve got this girl, nothings changed, letâs move that wardrobe on our own like we always do. No! Because now you do that and youâll fuck something badly, and sometimes permanently. You bend wrong and your back is fucked for a week. Your knees hurt, you get arthritis in your hip, your doctor knows you by your first name because they see you almost weekly for a hundred different ailments, because EVERYTHING HURTS. You cure one problem and BOOM! here, have another. And on top of that is menopause. Fucking menopause, you absolute fucking whore!
And those friends? Theyâre gone, mostly. They moved away, they had families, your big friend group of losers who stayed out all night in the city getting drunk are now spread across the world.
Getting older is lonely, Iâll tell you that much.
This is just me screaming into the void inarticulately, I donât really have a point to this other than aging fucking sucks but itâs a privilege, too, and weâre still figuring our shit out in our 50s, 60s and 70s and beyond. We still love dumb shit. Weâre still kids.
Anyway, I need to finish that âHypochondriac Eddie Munson Turns 50â fic.

Out of the timewarp couples we know that...
Sean dies before Lenny
And
Bessie dies before Hosea
This leaves The Morgans, The Duffys (Sorry Kieran it's you), and The Jones's... at least to my memory.
So in my lust for angst... who dies first, and how tragic was it?
Okay timewarp endgame let's go
Bessie and Hosea die together, so who died first is unknown. Bessie was sick first* and the one the gang most expected to die. Hosea's heart just went 'fuck not losing my wife again'.
Generally, the first shall be the last. Most of the 1911 gang actually die before the 1899 gang (minus tragedies and age related illness) simply because living rough as outlaws do for an extra 9-15 years in canon era was a physical strain they never really recovered from.
Charles dies before Arthur - he went 9 years mourning Arthur before timewarping, and I'm not putting him through that again. Only in his early 70s, Arthur noticed the tiny change of Charles sleeping more than usual and insisted he go see a doctor. Metastatic lung cancer: with only two or three weeks left to live. Instead of suffering through treatment for at most an extra 6 months, Charles decided just enjoy what time he had left - helping Arthur plan for how he would cope without him, seeing family and saying goodbyes, going to the few sights they hadn't seen and some of their favorite places for the last time. 3 weeks after the diagnosis, and only the second time he actually complained about pain, Charles simply took a nap and never woke up.
Similarly, in the once-Matthews-now-Duffscuella household, Javier dies first. Javier did not age well, and got a lot of age-related illnesses younger than most people. Arthritis in his 40s, heart disease in his 50s. Still, his death was very abrupt (only a year or so after Charles, so early 70s again). He was sitting on the couch, watching TV with Kieran. Sat his cigarette down on the edge of the ash tray, said he didn't feel like it, and laughed when Kieran asked if he could have it. But then - didn't pass it to him. Massive, sudden cardiac arrest. No response to attempted resuscitation: so quick it was painless. Didn't mean Kieran was any less distraught.
Kieran ends up living with Arthur because, as well as his self-neglecting brand of autism, Kieran was diagnosed with early stage dementia shortly before Javier died. As it progressed, Kieran's confusion manifested as basically thinking it was canon era. He'd huff he had to take care of the horses, or have moments where he still thought he was an O'Driscoll and start stealing things (from himself) because if he went back to the gang empty handed 'Colm'll have my head'. Arthur was always the best at calming him down, second to Javier, and generally knew how to keep Kieran happy in terms of things he would eat and what situations would be too overstimulating for him. Also, Arthur actually had horses so Kieran could look after them in his stableboy moments and be content. Kieran also passed away before Arthur.
The Jones's might have to be another ask oop.

Some pitches I've heard for Misha in the Boys from my family:
Russian Doctor that experimented on Soldier Boy (from my sister in law)
Bucky Barnes analog but he came out mostly non-violent and escaped, and has just been tooling around doing quiet good deeds for 70 years without accolades (this was my brother, who pitched the dialogue of "Where have you been?" and Misha responding "Well last year I was clearing out land mines in the Ukraine")
A thirsty Soldier Boy fan that has a cache of classified documents that they need (this is from my mother, and the resulting scenario is that Soldier Boy has to fuck him to get the paperwork, and it's a one-off episode where he dies at the end or he's never mentioned again)
These sound like fic prompts, so have them for free.

Okay I made a little post about this but itâs jawing at my brain
A deep dive into Ginny Weasleyâs music taste
(Not specifically 90s timeline)
SPICE GIRLS
Okay so even though it might be cringy now she was definitely so obsessed with the spice girls. With their whole girl power agenda she definitely was really into it, and they have great party music. Hermione being one of her closest friends and muggle born showed her the spice girls over one summer and gave her tons of magazines on them. Tonks offered to take her to see them but Molly said absolutely not. Favorite song Wanna be obviously, itâs her designated getting ready song.
THE SMITHS/RADIOHEAD/NIRVANA/WEAZER
Okay so, Ginny dated Dean for almost a whole year being with someone you naturally gain interest in their interest. Dean being a muggle born introduced Ginny to all sorts of muggle bands The Smiths and Radiohead having a lot of sad songs I think she found very healing with all her trauma from the chamber. Nirvana is like the OG teenage dirt bag band so yes she loves them. Nirvana reminds her a lot of Sirius so she got Harry into listening to them. Weazer came from Seamus actually, when she was getting used to being around Deans friend group music came up and Seamus lent her one of his mixtapes. Her favorite song is Back to the old house because it makes her miss time before Tom and before the war.
DAVID BOWIE
So Bowie. I think Bowie would come from Bill and Arthur. Bill was born in the early 70s so it come from his childhood. We all know Arthur loves muggle things so I think music would be incorporated in that. Bowie has a perfect blend of sad and feel good music, we know she was close with Tonks but Remus helped her through second year too and Bowie was one thing they bonded over and what made Ginny trust Remus after Tom. Her favorite song is Changes because it feels like growing up.
EMINEM/D-12
Completely George and Charlie influence. She loved D-12 first obviously but she prefers Eminem. She knows every word. To every song. Harry loves when she gets wasted at parties and just stands on the table and belts out the lyrics. Sheâs totally a Doctor Dre fan too. The Slim shady album is her favorite it dropped in 1999 when she was freshly 17. Charlie took her to see him when she was 19 she went all out saggy jeans, heavy smudged eyeliner, bandana. When family dinners where to serious at the Burrow after the war. Her and George would start singing the dirtiest songs to get Mollyâs attention on them. Favorite song in his discography is Under the Influence.
DO DOUBT/GWEN STEFANI, BIKINI KILL
Girl power rock bands I donât have a ton to say about them. She loves No Doubt but proffers Gwenâs solo stuff. Obviously knows them from Tonks. She gave Ginny her Tragic Kingdom vinyl which released in 1995 perfect timing for her 4th year at hogwarts when sheâs angry about being left out of order business. Her favorite Gwen song is Rich Girl.
ARVIL LAVIGNE
Okay so Arvil really started getting big in 2002 when her album Let Go came out. She wasnât super big into her with that album but followed along still. Her teammates on the Harpyâs loved her and played her music in the locker rooms. She picked up again with her when Girlfriend came out but her favorite song is Hereâs to never growing up.
(Later music)
TAYLOR SWIFT
I never liked that people think Ginny isnât girlie because she grew up with 7 brothers. Yes, she is a total tomboy but she never saw being a girl as making her weak. It was just a challenge with her brothers but it just gave her more reasons to get to prove herself. If she had Taylor in her teens her favorite album would be Red or Evermore. Cowboy like me is a perfect song to describe her and Harry. âThe skeletons in both our closets plotted hard to fuck this upâ perfect example of their relationships with Voldemort. They definitely avoided that they had that in common for a while but after they accepted it they where able to heal through each other. I think the song I hate it here from TTPD would be one Ginny could relate too because honestly when she was completely alone her therapy was Tom and the diary. It was where she would escape too. I think her hearing that song as an adult would have an even deeper meaning because itâs so sad and describes how lonley-ness feels beautifully.
- If you want my other opinions and more bands I think she would like feel free to ask I have so many others artist and songs
This kinda turned in to me relating Ginny to my favorite music but oh well đ¤ˇââď¸

Queerness has always been integral with the fanfiction community, way back to its roots. Fanfiction would not be what it is today without queer stories and the people who wrote them.
Somewhere along the line fandom has become much more straight centered and I think a lot of that has to do with the last 10 years or so the rise of X reader fanfiction, instead of character X character
This is not a bad thing to be clear. I write a lot of x reader, mostly I write X reader in a heterosexual relationship fanfiction is a beautiful source of self expression and people should be able to express themselves however they choose and if they arenât queer or donât want to write queer stories thatâs absolutely OK.
But I need you to understand where this community came from. in the last year or so Iâve seen more of an uptick in queer stories than I have for the last few years and that has made me so happy! Deadpool wolverine of course, is a huge ship, and this has led to a boost in the queer men content
Additionally, in the other fandoms Iâm in thereâs been more people writing X male reader or two male characters, often from different fandomâs, and shows, which has been super fun
But with this, Iâve seen a backlash from people complaining that everything is gay now. They tried to frame it in a way that isnât homophobic or trans phobic, that they just want to see themselves and fanfiction or that their straight fanfiction isnât getting as much likes as gay fanfiction, and I need you guys to understand something
Firstly, this is just not true. While there are always outliers, fanfiction that pop off and do well, in general x fem reader fanfiction will do better than any gay story. If thereâs a threesome story, if itâs two men and the reader, it will do well. If the two men are also kissing and fucking, it will generally do less well.
But secondly, itâs important to know that those of us post queer fanfiction are doing it out of necessity, out of fear even sometimes. We do not want to be erased and if youâve been paid attention to any news lately we are a heavy target. Writing, explicitly queer fanfiction is us being loud and proud and those heterosexual and cisgender allies who also write these stories are supporting us.
But finally, the fandom space has always been queer
From the earliest days of fandom as we understand it now, with Star Trek and Lord of the rings, both fandoms were filled with gay fanfiction and gay fanart and those fandoms have paved the way for others as time went into the 70s and 80s.
Remember when fandom was at its peak in the early 2010s? That whole movement was built gay fanfiction. Sherlock was extremely fucking gay and the fandom was no less. Supernatural was so gay. Itâs the whole reason most of us know the term queer baiting.
Doctor who, les miserables, Harry Potter, avengers. If you didnât see queer content you simply werenât paying attention, and I doubt you would have been on tumblr.
We have always been here. We have always been here. We build fandom into what it is now because WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE

Meta read of why the Twelfth Doctor chose that face
Basically, why the Doctor chose that face can be explained by The Giggle
Twelve tries to figure out why he chose that face, and assumes that it's to remind himself to save people, but that leads to an act of god and hubris in resurrecting Ashildr. He remembers where the face came from, that Donna asked to save "somebody, not the whole town, but somebody", but he only does so in an emotional moment where he's not thinking logically and letting his guilt get the better of him. In actuality, his subconscious chose that face to remind him of Donna, and that he should go back for her and rest a while. After all, he just spent 900 years on Trenzalore fighting a war, that was traumatizing as hell. But he doesn't go find Donna (and Clara, bless her hot mess, is totally an enabler), and whilst he does spend 24 years with River, and then like 70 guarding a vault, he's still on alert, so to speak, not settling, not resting. He embraces endings, but he doesn't know how to emotionally deal with the endings once they've, well, ended. All though Series 10 he's mourning River, he clearly spent that night on Darillium for her sake, not for his. (And as Eleven, he loved the Ponds, but he never settled with them.)
Thirteen's face is the Doctor repressing, hiding this emotional fatigue and weariness under a facade of smiles, choosing in the moment of his regeneration to just keep plodding on because to him "rest" means "death". "One more lifetime won't kill anybody. Except me." The Doctor assumes "oh well, I can just change my face again and be new and maybe this tiredness I feel will go away". They are wrong, they get fucked over with the Timeless Child and the Flux, suddenly have to go through an identity crisis, repress it HARD, friendzone Yaz, then her subconscious goes "Okay time to make this explicit to you" and bam, David Tennant again. The TARDIS gets in on it and drops him down in front of Donna.
And that's how we end up with the specials and Fourteen getting some needed rest and rehab. It's been absolute centuries of the Doctor constantly pushing and pushing and assuming they can't stop running because it's all they've ever known, and now he has finally embraced it with the help of Donna.

timeless - ch. 2
pairing: bucky barnes x reader
series summary: you, bucky and steve were the best of friends growing up. what happens when you're assigned to be a war nurse for the 107th? what happens when bucky finds himself 70 years later with scattered memories of the girl who brought him so much comfort? will your love for each other remain after all of the pain you've been put through? will your love for each other remain timeless?
chapter summary: this chapter is set during civil war when bucky and steve are reunited.
warnings: classing mcu violence, guns, mention of headshots (of the other supersoldiers from HYDRA), death, HYDRA talk, talk of assassins, please let me know if i've missed anything!
w/c: 2.1k+
a/n: hiii! i've missed writing so so much but i've finally finished the second chapter of this series! i'm so excited for it and already have so much planned. it's loosly accurate, but it definitely goes off course with the actual plot the mcu has. so THIS IS NOT CANON. i am making some of it up, mostly towards the end and bits and pieces about the reader being involved in anything. this chapter ALSO doesn't have reader in it because this part is largely the development of how they realize that reader is still alive... you'll understand once you begin reading. anywho, i hope you lovely people enjoy reading!
<- chapter 1 ~ chapter 3 ->
âwhich bucky am i talking to?â steve chided bucky as his arm remained in a vice. his voice remind still and steady as if his emotions hadnât been the victim of intense whiplash from trying to get his old pal back.
âyour momâs name is sarah,â he had what almost seemed like a grin as he continued, âyou used to wear newspaper in your shoes.âÂ
âcanât read that in a museum,â he tilted his head with an almost grimace, recalling the days when he was a few feet shorter and far less invincible.Â
âwh-just like that, weâre supposed to be cool?â sam questioned incredulously, reasonably so. sam had no reason to trust bucky. he was never once his best friend. he didnât know the lengths bucky and steve used to go to to protect one another.Â
âwhat did i do?â bucky could tell by samâs reaction that yet another bad deed had occurred at his hand, the one that he wasnât even born with.
âenough.â
âoh god,â bucky sighed as he threw his head back. âi knew this would happen. everything HYDRA put inside me is still there⌠all he had to do is say the goddamn words,â buckyâs face filled with self-hatred that was all too familiar.
âwho was he?âÂ
steve knew bucky would understand who he was talking about. hell, the man knew his trigger words, bucky wishes he knew who the fuck he was. it pained him that after years of not knowing who he was, being used as a mere object for a terrible agenda, he finally escaped⌠only to be used once more by a complete stranger.
âi donât know.â
âpeople are dead,â steve leveled with bucky as if he wasnât aware of the magnitude this all has come to. âthe bombing, the setup, the doctor did all that just to get 10 minutes with you. i need you to do better than âi donât know.ââ
âhe-he wanted to know about siberia, where i was kept,â bucky recalled. âhe wanted to know exactly where.â
âwhy would he need to know that?âÂ
âbecause iâm not the only winter soldier.â
âwhat?â sam was in disbelief, his voice going into a higher pitch than steve had probably eer heard.Â
âbut, steve,â bucky was confused about what he was even supposed to say, how to say what he needed to. hell, he didnât even know exactly what he knew. âmy memories, theyâre coming back all⌠jumbled. itâs like i remember pieces before the fall and then some when i was under HYDRAâs control and i canât tell which is which. itâs like theyâre getting all confused.â
âbuck, whatâre you trying to say here?â steve wanted bucky to tell him whatever it was he needed to, they had other pressing matters to get to the bottom of.
âyou remember y/n, right?â
âhow could i forget?â he smiled fondly. âshe-she died, though? back when-â
âthatâs what i thought too,â bucky shook his head. âbut i keep seeing her in the memories with HYDRA. not from the war, not from brooklyn, itâs distinctly HYDRA, but i donât know how much of my memories i can trust.â
steve took a step back from bucky, trying to analyze what he was implying. trying to decipher what it meant if HYDRA had taken you for all this time too. that means you must have the serum in your veins as well, but how?Â
were you being used like bucky in all of HYDRAâs plans? this was all so confusing to him, bucky too.Â
âwhoâs y/n?â sam asked, his arms thrown up in utter bewilderment.Â
âshe was our best friend,â steve filled in for bucky after a pause, the man clearly not able to accurately describe what you were to him. âshe meant a lot to us, but we thought she died back in the warâŚâ
âso thatâs not the case? iâm assuming, based on cyborg here?â sam motioned to bucky, clearly confused as to how many people seem to come back to life or survive far past their expiration date here.Â
âdo you know if sheâs still in siberia?âÂ
âafter a while, the i stopped seeing the people in siberia. but i remember being with her a lot more⌠i donât know what she did for HYDRA, but i donât think sheâs there,â bucky couldnât look at steve as he tried to explain where his best friend was.Â
âif sheâs not there, then HYDRA surely isnât doing anything good to her in your absence.â
âthatâs what iâm most worried about.â
âthose other soldiers⌠who were they?â steve wondered
âtheir most elite death squad. more kills than anyone in HYDRA history, and that was before the serum.â
âthey all turn out like you?â sam sassed.
âworse.â
âthe doctor, could he control them?â
âenough.â
steve shook his head, perplexed as he added, âsaid he wanted to see an empire fall.â
âwith these guys he could do it. they speak 30 languages, can hide in plain sight, infiltrate, assassinate, destabilize. they can take a whole country down in one night and youâd never see them coming.â
âthis wouldâve been a lot easier a week ago,â sam mentions primarily to steve.
âif we call tonyâŚâÂ
âno, he wonât believe us,â sam cut steveâs idea short.
âeven if he did-â
âwho knows if the accords would let him.â
steve sighed, his head low as if he had been defeated, âweâre on our own.â
âmaybe not,â sam had a sly smirk on as he finished, âi know a guy.â
-
after meeting with sharon carter, an easy fight with most of the avengers, and hijacking the quinjet, steve and bucky were on their own, hurtling towards siberia and a few of the worldâs best unknown assassins.
bucky didnât understand why he couldnât pinpoint where he had known you from. all he can tell is that you were practically everywhere. because of that, part of him thinks you mightâve just been a figment of his imagination, creating a sense of comfort from one of the only people heâs ever truly cared about in the midst of his pain and the chaos HYDRA forced him to impose on the innocent.Â
but if that were the case, then shouldnât he recall more of steve as well?Â
âwhatâs gonna happen to your friends?â bucky asked, hoping the people who put their necks on the line for him, for his best friend, would be alright.Â
âwhatever it isâŚâ steve shook his head with a heavy heart. âiâll deal with it.â
all bucky could think about was the pain of the last 70 years, but not his own. he was thinking of all the memories heâs had surface already of him harming those who didnât deserve it, as if anyone deserved for their lives to be taken.Â
âiâm donât know if iâm worth all this, steve,â he shook his head adamantly.
âwhat you did all those yearsâŚâ he looked thoughtfully before turning slightly to face bucky. âit wasnât you. you didnât have a choice.â
âi know, but i did it.â
-
once they landed atop the mountain, they went to the back to unload a few weapons and headed inside the already open door.Â
âhe canât have been here a couple hours.â
âlong enough to wake âem up,â bucky tilted his head with a grimace, not knowing if he selfishy hoped you were there or hoped you werenât included in the infamous group of th worldâs best assassins.
heading further down the corridor, they come face to face with the one, the only, iron man.
tony heads towards steve and retracts his helmet to greet the men. âyou seem a little defensive,â he gestures towards bucky, whoâs gun remained aimed at the red-suited man.Â
âitâs been a long day,â steve sighed to try and reason with tony, thinking he was here to take him and his fugitive pal in for good.
âat ease, soldier. iâm not currently after you,â tony stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
bucky was still confused, watching the two men interact and trying to figure out his place in their conversation, but opting to simply observe and keep his gun raised in defense.
âthen whyâre you here,â steve asked the question bucky was also wondering, himself.
âcould be your storyâs not so crazy⌠maybe,â tony rolled his eyes as he continued. âross has no idea iâm here, so iâd like to keep it that way.otherwise, i gotta arrest myselfâŚâ he trailed off on that note.
âwell, that sounds like a lot of paperwork,â steve finally lowered his shield. âitâs good to see you, tony,â he addressed the man after figuring out it wasnât âiron manâ coming to him. it was only tony.
âyou too, cap,â his attention was brought to bucky after noticing his weapon was still ready to fire, pointed right at him. âhey, manchurian candidate, youâre killing me. thereâs a truce here,â tony motioned to himself and steve to emphasize his point. âyou can lowerâŚâ steve signalled for bucky to loer his weapon, so he did.Â
the three continued their way into the bunker, trying to be ready for whatever was awaiting them.Â
âi got heat signatures,â tony said after scanning the room.
âhow many?â
âuh⌠one,â with that, the three enter the room.Â
hazy yellowed lights flickered on as a speaker began to crackle to life. looking around, the soldiers were still secure in their capsules, but the only one they could see clearly had a bullet straight through their head.
âif itâs any comfort, they died in their sleep,â they recognized zemoâs voice over the speaker. bucky looked in the other capsules, ensuring your corpse wasnât in any of the capsules. âdid you really think i wanted more of you?â zemo scoffed.
âwhat the hell?â bucky was confused at the actions of the man before him. if he didnât want to control some of the stronged people in the world, what did he want from killing them?
âiâm grateful to them though, they brought you here,â he chuckled slyly as the other men rolled their eyes and huffed at his secrecy. steve had launched his shield at the booth that zemo was in, only for it to come ricocheting back towards him. âplease, captain. the soviets built this chamber to withstand the launch blast of UR-100 rockets.â
âiâm betting i could beat that,â tony piped in, raising his hand, ready to shoot beams through the glass.Â
âoh, iâm sure you could, mr. stark, given time,â he nodded in agreement, leaving tony to lower his hand in bewilderment. âbut then youâd never know why you came.â
âyou killed innocent people in vienna just to bring us here?âÂ
âi thought about nothing else for over a year. i studied you. i followed you,â he was droning on and on about how dedicated he had been. âbut now that you're standing here, i just realized . . . there's a bit of green in the blue of your eyes. how nice to find a flaw,â it was mockery for him to stand there as if he had superiority.
âyouâre sokovian, is that what this is about?â steve simply wanted answers from the man who was only speaking in puzzles.
âsokovia was a failed state long before you blew it to hell. no. i'm here because i made a promise.â
âyou lost someone?â steve filled in the blanks that zemo clearly had no intention of confessing.
âi lost everyone,â he made eye contact with bucky before he continued, âand i think youâll be thrilled to know that you havenât lost everyone, yet.â
âyou know where she is, donât you?â bucky strode towards the glass that was protecting zemo. âwhere the hell is she?!â his fist slammed against the glass.Â
ânow, now,â he rose his hands and gestured for bucky to calm down. âthatâs no way to get information out of someone, although, i guess that never was your specialty, was it?âÂ
âdid you do something to her?â his voice was a low growl. âi swear to god if you touched a hair on her head-!âÂ
âi didnât do anything to her, yet, mr. barnes,â he continued to patronize the man.Â
âbuck,â steve placed his hand on his shoulder, trying to calm him down. âhe wants you to react. he wants to upset you. donât give him what he wants.â
bucky turns to face steve, âif he knows where she is-â
âweâll find her on our own,â steve nodded, trying to get bucky to remain calm. âwe donât need him to manipulate us to get things figured out.â
âlook, icicle,â tony chided in, âiâll use all of my resources to help find this girl of yours - whoever she is.â

Bengiyo's Queer Cinema Syllabus
For those of you who donât know, I decided to run the gauntlet of @bengiyoâs queer cinema syllabus, which is comprised of 9 units. I have completed four of the units (here is my queer cinema syllabus round up post with all the films Iâve watched and written about so far). It is time for me to make my way through Unit 5- Lesbians, which includes the following films: The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love (1995), Bound (1996), Water Lilies (2007), Saving Face (2004), D.E.B.S. (2004), Set It Off (1996), The Handmaiden (2016), Carol (2015), Imagine Me and You (2005), Two of Us (2019), Rafiki (2018), and The Color Purple (1985).Â
Today I will (finally) be watching Naissance des Pieuvres or as it is titled in English:
Water Lilies (2007) dir. CĂŠline Sciamma

[Run Time: 1 hour 20 minutes, Language: French]
Summary: A love triangle forms among three adolescent girls who meet at a local pool over summer break and each desires the love of another.
Cast: - Pauline Acquart as Marie - Adèle Haenel as Floriane - Louise Blachère as Anne - Warren Jacquin as François
___
Okay well, I need to give a massive shout out to @twig-tea without whom this film viewing would not have occurred. I have exactly two films left in this unit, and I do not plan on doing retrospectives or anything so I will just say this here.Â
What I have learned about sapphic films:Â
At a minimum, 70% of the air time is dedicated to two sapphics of any age silently staring at each otherÂ
That out of the way, this was a lovely little coming of age film and I was incredibly appreciative of the fact that they actually cast actors who were the same age of their characters for this. At this point I am so used to adulted in their twenties or (god forbid) thirties playing teenagers, and I think this film would have had a very different vibe if that were the case.Â
Yâall these kids were awkward as fuck in the best possible way, it was nice to see some early 2000âs fashion, and I think when you get 15-18 year old actors for films like this it is helpful recontextualization for how young people are when they start drinking, and flirting, and having sex. And it aids the tragedy too of watching Floraine talk about the experience she had been sexually assaulted (my words, not hers) by the pool boy.Â
I am really interested in the decision to make this a film around synchronized swimming. Maybe there is something to be said about the ways in which a synchronized team needs to know their team and their routines intimately and yet the girls on Floraineâs team have a completely false perception of who she is as a person.Â
And I think the ages of these performers really helps support that misconception. Floraine is a beautiful girl, and she is young, and she has had full grown adults climb in to the pool where she is practicing and pull out their dicks. I was genuinely concerned about her safety when the grown adult man was asking if she wanted a massage before she went into the pool, and the fact that she did agree, and that we do not know what happened behind that closed door. (Maybe massages are a natural part of competitive synchro but I could not stop thinking about the US Womenâs gymnastics team and the team doctor that abused them.)Â
Floraine is young, and these girls around her have decided that she is a âslagâ for whatever reason, and she is at such a perfect age to toe the line between promiscuity and modesty. She will doll herself up, she will make out with boys at parties, and she will go to clubs to grind up against and make out with grown adult men, but whenever she steps closer to actually engaging in sex, she stops herself or Marie stops the encounter for her.Â
And, their ages really help sell the sex scenes in this. I have added this film to a list of my favorite portrayals of sex because holy shit are the sex scenes awkward and terrible. There is no romance in them in any way, shape, or form. The sex scene between Floraine and Marie is literally just like two minutes of Floraine lying there completely still while Marie, presumably, sticks a finger up her vagina, barely moves it, and ends with Floraine looking pained and shedding a tear.Â
The sex scene between Anne and Francios is also painfully awkward. That man shows up to her apartment after being denied sex by the girl he actually wants to fuck. He thanks Anne for the necklace she gave him which he promptly gave to Floraine, and then without another word his hands are just all over her. There is no romance, there is no passion, this is just a horny teenager sticking his dick in someone who is willing to get fucked.Â
Also the smeared lipstick all over Marie and Floraineâs mouths after they make out at the party? Iconic.Â
I am quite mad that Marie never apologized to Anne for the mean shit she said to her, because she truly started poking at all the insecurities that she knows Anne has (shout out to teenage girls for knowing just what to say to tear you down). And at the same time, I appreciate Anne so much for knowing that Marie is just having a temper tantrum, and navigating whatever complicated feelings she has. It was quite a strong friendship moment when Marie was like âIâm sick of you,â and Anneâs first response was not hurt, not upset, was a simple, casual, bored reply âOkay Mrs. No Tits.âÂ
Now. Thinking about this film in relation to BL, since that is where this syllabus is headed I have to sayÂ
There is a pinky touch. We love a pinky touch. We live for a pinky touch. There can never not be a young queer love story that is absent a pinky touch.Â
They did a very lovely job using naturally occurring lines like walls or grooves in sidewalks to create barriers between Marie and Floraine a la many a BLÂ
TOH FROM SECRET CRUSH ON YOU LEARNED ALL HIS CREEPY LITTLE HOARDING TRICKS FROM MARIE! THIS GIRL STOLE TRASH AND KEPT IT IN HER DESK DRAWER AND SHE BIT INTO AN APPLE THAT HAD BEEN THROWN IN SAID TRASH JUST SO SHE COULD TASTE SOMETHING FLORAINEâS MOUTH HAD BEEN ON.
Favorite Moment
The very last scene of the film is my favorite moment, when Anne and Marie are starfishing out ala I Told Sunset About You after finally walking away from the people who have been using them.Â
Because ultimately that is what is happening. Marie is in love with Floraine, and Floraine is, I think, genuinely interested in Marie. But she is not at a point in her life where she is going to pursue that. She will ask Marie to fuck her, she will let Marie make out with her, but she is going to go back on to the dance floor with the boys because she has a reputation to maintain.Â
Though their friendship goes through a rough patch, and though I do think that Anne forgave Marie for too much too quickly, I love that we ended this film on their friendship. #brosbeforehoes

Hey, genuine question here because Iâm really confused about the phrase âanti-zionism is antisemitism.â Why do you think that? After spending over a year now watching the Israeli Government:Â
Admit to intentionally depriving the entirety of Gaza of food, water, and electricity. (Israel: Starvation Used as Weapon of War in Gaza | Human Rights Watch)
Engage in Collective Punishment and various other heinous war crimes. (Same source as above)
Target civilian infrastructure under the guise of them being fronts for Hamas. Which even if they were (something there is no definitive evidence of) would still be vile. (Security Council Debates Israeli Attacks on Hospitals Allegedly Misused by Hamas, as UN Rights Chief Urges Independent Probes | Meetings Coverage and Press Releases)
Actively claim via government funded video that there are âno innocent civilians in Gazaâ despite the fact that 44% of the reported casualties have been children. (Yes I acknowledge that the Ministry of Health is run by Hamas, however Israel is actively banning journalists from entering Gaza to confirm those statistics. Therefore forcing us to take them at face value because we have no other source.)(Israel posts video saying âthere are no innocent civiliansâ in Gaza)(Nearly 70% of Gaza war dead women and children - UN - BBC News)(More Than 13,000 Children Reported Dead in Gaza as Famine Nears | UNICEF USA)
Allow the IDF to do literally whatever the hell they want, allowing unjustified use of lethal force. We have reached a point where IDF soldiers literally are posting on tiktok bragging about bombing civilians. Iâve seen a nauseating amount of people calling Palestinian children âlittle Hamas membersâ or âfuture terroristsâ to justify slaughtering them. (Open-Fire Policy | B'Tselem)
Killed more than 250 aid workers while purposefully targeting shelters and aid worker convoys. (Gaza: Israelis Attacking Known Aid Worker Locations | Human Rights Watch)
Labeled certain areas as âSafe Zonesâ and proceeding to bomb them anyway. (Urgent need for ceasefire as Israeli forces attack âsafe zonesâ in Rafah | Doctors Without Borders - USA)
Ignore their long history of massacring Palestinians decades before Hamas was founded. (ccrjustice.org)
So please, seriously, please do not tell me you genuinely think my hatred for the Israeli Government is antisemetic. I will condemn Hamas until the day I die but just as Israelis are not a monolith neither are Palestinians, and it is unfair to place sole blame on the Palestinians Tyrannical Government for the deaths of the innocent.Â
More Sources used to cross reference or with relevant information: (Latest massacres in Gaza's Middle Area illustrate complete disregard for Palestinian lives | Doctors Without Borders - USA)(Israeli MP Says It Clearly for World to Hear: 'Erase All of Gaza From the Face of the Earth' | Common Dreams)(Israel, The Targeted Killings Case | How does law protect in war? - Online casebook)(Al-Majdal)(Israeli Massacres: A Brief and Shocking History | Israel Palestine News)
I did my best to cross check all my sources for accurate information, however I am a human and not infallible so I may have made a mistake somewhere. I sincerely apologize if any of the information given in these sources is outdated or has been debunked with definitive evidence.
Thanks
Dear thanks,
I think that because entitled goyim like you still think thry can trot out some conspiracy theories like âgenocide realâ and âIsrael caused the famineâ with some propaganda ass source to justify why they hate Jews instead of just goosestepping honestly like most of yâall and demand I treat you will respect
you want respect you come off anon and give some actual ass sources with WORKING LINKS and dropped the ânow that everyone hates will you stop playing hard to get and admit my goysplaining trumps your lived experience â attitude, THEN weâll talk
tankie goy punk fuck off,
Cecil
