#Everything is interconnected

[jouno-s]

yes seeing the palestine tags not trending for days in a row is disheartening — but that doesn’t mean we’re not talking about it. we are still talking and sharing and reading and we will continue to do so until palestine and every other group of people struggling for freedom are liberated, and beyond.

we have known since this intense new wave of ‘israeli’ aggression started that all social media platforms have been suppressing all forms of palestinian content. so do not become disheartened or demotivated by the lack of tags trending—

*because that does not mean we have stopped talking.*

as people who are not currently in palestine, and especially as non-palestinians, we do not have the right to become demotivated by anything in this situation. we do not have the right to complain that it seems like nothing is changing. we do not have the right to lose hope when palestinians have been passionately fighting the occupation since it began.

and, do not forget about the other struggles for liberation in the world right now. keep talking about palestine, keep talking about congo, keep talking about sudan, about the uyghurs, about the rohingya, about *humanity.*

I just read another good Atlantic article, "Kamala Harris and the Rise of Neobitherism," by Adam Serwer. I got it via a gift link on Bluesky, so the paywall hell described by the last Atlantic article I linked would be in effect for any direct link, but you should be able to find it.

Anyway, an excerpt [CW for various racisms, slavery, rape]:

Dawn's Appearance

Oki im going to be talking about how Dawn from my empires / Hermitcraft au, Everything's Interconnected, looks cause I have spent way to long thinking about it. (explaition under the read more thing)

True / Real Forms:

These forms is what Dawn looks like with no magic changing how she looks, she can (and does) hide her wings and antlers, when hidden it is like they never existed in the first place. Not many people know about the existence of these forms / version of Dawn's appearance and thinks she is actually what she pretends to be. When people first see Dawn's true form she is often mistaken as a sculk adjacent species when she is in fact a star elf / space fae (working on what they are called, name of species is not really important).

Hermitcraft S8 & S9

These two are lumped together because they are quite similar. Dawn hides her butterfly wings but keeps her antler visible, they are sometimes mistaken for her just wearing some shed-ed antlers. Most people assume she is a faun or an elf, seeing no-one on Hermitcraft is either so they can't compare Dawn to the real deal (Scar is not an elf in Everything's Interconnected he just pretends to be one for a little bit).

Empires S2

Dawn hides her antlers and keeps her wings out (inverse of Hermitcraft so she can have a little separation between the two), also Dawn changes the appearance of her wings to fit with the sun priestess vibe better. No one on empires is quite sure what she is (they know Dawn is some fae or fae adjacent species) but its empires they don't care.

Dawn is only empires S2 Geminitay, not S1. Empires S1 Geminitay is Amethyst, they are different people. I will one day explain how it works but that is for another time.

Has anyone else noticed how much the admins have been pushing qtubbo and qbad together or am I making things up

[parachutingkitten]

Okay, crack theory time. I posted about it this morning, but I can’t stop thinking about it.

What if Nadakhan's father was completely making stuff up about sister realms. He was King, right? He's in a high enough position of power that it's plausible he messed up BIG time, made some wish, did some spell that screwed everything over and started the apocalypse for djinjago.

He's trying to come up with excuses to cover his tracks, remembers the destruction of the preeminent a few months earlier and is like:

"Yes, it's because our sister realm has fallen- that's definitely it!"

The opening of episode 7 of Renegate Nell is genuinely the best thing I've seen in any series this year it's fucking ✨SPECTACUAR✨

[cringesnail]

The thing about "not making a character's lore/arc about another character" is that we all follow a limited number of streams so when we hear about some events we'll approach them through the POVs we watch

So it's a bit inevitable. We all, at one point or another, make a character's lore about another character.

I agree that it becomes annoying when a character is almost erased from their own narrative but in reasonable doses I actually really like this trend. Like when people made connections between Baghera's childhood and Jaiden's. I don't watch Jaiden often so I was not really up to date with her lore and it's really interesting to see this perspective and parallel

I started replaying my favourite fire emblems the other day! Local queer boy gets tangled in one war after another that he has no real place in just trying to make one right decision at a time

Scarlet Hollow characters I DO trust with my life and love: the demon stalking you, your cousin everyone hates who has likely committed murder, the abomination of changing flesh and bones that hangs out in the morgue, the possums in my drawer

Scarlet Hollow characters I DO NOT TRUST and never will: sybil. fucking. Local Town Grandma

if you had to pick a cantata (just one)

BWV 8: Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben?

“Our cantata here has a unique texture. Plucked violins and violas play slow broken arpeggio patterns over isolated arco bell tones in the bass. Two oboes d’amore weave sinuous patterns above sometimes imitative, sometimes in thirds and sixths. On top of all of this the flute plays two types of figures, a repeated note pattern of 24 notes, the number of times the church bell in Leipzig rang to announce the death of a parishioner. The flute also at times goes into a wonderfully lazy arpeggio figure that brings on the final cadence before the chorus enters. As is usual the sopranos in the chorus sing in long notes, but here the melody is ornamented and softened by passing tones. The fact that the chorale is made to fit into an easy-going 12/8 meter gives it an even more refreshing “popular” cast. The opening tutti and the interludes are quite lengthy giving the orchestral sections an even more prominent role in the musical argument. Although unusually complicated, the texture has a kind of miraculous clarity that is positively hypnotic.

The bell tones continue in the bass of the tenor aria #2. Not only do the instruments remain pizzicato, but also the rhythmic pattern is set up in the first bar and repeated in virtually every bar throughout the piece. The oboe and the tenor weave an arching and very detailed duet over this bass. The whole mood is of a mildly melancholy yearning. The accompanied alto recitative brings forth a bit of the terror of death, but it is just a transition to the amazingly jolly bass aria with flute and strings. Like the opening chorus this aria is in 12/8 time, but the calm flowing character of the opening has been replaced by a real jig tempo. The aria is in a very sophisticated da capo form. One should notice how the melodic contour of the last line of the A section is completed and answered by the opening of the B section.” - Craig Smith, from his Notes & Translations of Bach's Cantatas

Fractured Identity

close ups under the thing

finally finished this thing. Took a break from it near the end. After spending hours working on it and the design sketches everyday for like a week, I didn't want to look at it anymore. Took about a week break and finished the final details today. Cant wait to move on to the next character. If there is a character in the Everthing's Interconnected Au you want to see fleshed out just ask.
