So Moral Orel
It’s funny how done I am with that show actually
I’m totally not obsessed with it now
It’s totally not the only thing I’ve been thinking about
That would be ridiculous
I would never brainrot over how expressive and cool the claymation is
Or the anti flanderisation concept as a whole
Or how real it got during its serious moments
I literally don’t even care that they didn’t get the two more seasons they deserved
And the adult swim were ironically hypocrites to the show about hypocrisy when they told them to get darker and then cancelled them for being to dark
And I’m definitely not dwelling on the music use of all things
I don’t deeply empathize with Orel when it comes to anything at all
Imagine thinking about all the people that still probably interpret Moral Orel as a raunchy, edgy dig at Christianity
Or stopped after the first season
Couldn’t be me lol
I literally don’t even care that it’s a incredible commentary on the hypocrisy prevalent in a lot of the practitioners of the faith
Nor have I spared a single thought about how it quickly morphs into an exploration of religious abuse, generational trauma, and the complexity of the people around you and how negative experiences shape them
I hardly even noticed it’s subtle notes on how faith can be healthy and enriching and beautiful when it isn’t warped and is allowed to be expressed freely
And I definitely don’t want to rant about how a show aired in *2005* had such good queer representation that wasn’t made the but of any sort of joke
Nor how the more iffy episodes that tackled segregation and ableism might not quite have landed, but still sent across a very poignant message
I cannot stress enough that I do not care about this show
That was yesterday
I’m so normal about it now
For real
Less than normal even
I care about that show about as much as Orel’s parents care about him
I’m not deeply devastated and irrevocably changed forever by having experienced Moral Orel

On this Valentine’s Day please don’t forget about the Palestinian people. Candy is being bought in droves while innocent people are starving. While people are planning romantic dinners for their lovers, Palestinian people are losing their lovers to bombs and snipers. There is no rest for the Palestinian people today. Don’t let them mask what’s really happening behind pink ribbon. Fight for love, find empowerment in your love for others. We will not stop fighting, not for a single day. Palestine will be free.

Dc x Dp Prompt #6
“I’m a twin”, Damian said one night. He could feel the narrowed eyes of his family drilling holes on his back in disbelief. Not that he could blame them. Damian had never so much as implied being raised with a companion, much less a sibling.
“I had a brother”. Damian paused to recollect himself. He had not said his brother’s name out loud in over 8 years.
“His name was… Danyal”. Damian hated the way his voice wavered, but he could not help it. Danyal was everything to him, his other half. Their heart beat as one and when one heart stopped beating, the other one died with it. At least until his family put his heart on metaphorical life support without ever realizing.
“Where is he now?” His father asked, voice filled with knowing grief and a hint of betrayal. It had in fact been 6 years since Damian first showed up on his doorstep.
“Up there”. All eyes shifted towards the specific star he was pointing to. “Right before he died, he promised me he’d guide me from the stars. Unfortunately, the stars are not visible in Gotham, so my brother is unable to be of much help unless I leave the city.”
“Your brother is Polaris, the North Star?” Tim questioned warily, most likely in attempts to not offend him. Damian was aware of how stupid it sounded, but Danyal had promised, and his brother never broke his promises.
“Yes. Danyal is with the stars now, just as he always wanted”

We have not spent nearly enough time talking about how Nicola Coughlan is the most beautiful kisser in the world.
And this kiss should have immediately ended the “it’s rushed” debate. Because if a woman kissed me like that, 100% I’m marrying her. Are you fucking kidding me? Colin’s subsequent unhinged behavior is completely justified.
I will not be taking any questions on this.
