Given how much overlap there is between the Hatsune Miku fandom and the cosmic horror fandom, it's a bit surprising that, at the time of this posting, the number of legit Google search results for "hatsune mi-go" stands at zero.

It took me days of spiraling over the fact “what did I do wrong?” “Where did I lack?” “When will I be enough ?” And many other such questions to realise people can LIKE something and still not WANT it. People can WANT something and still not MAKE THE EFFORTS to get it. So it’s okay to not have the guy who you thought for a moment loved you , it’s okay to not have some things because with people it’s always a two way effort. Even when you give your 99percent to have them , there will still be 1 percent effort of them just saying yes to have them. So let it go, you have a lot waiting ahead for you. If you won’t move you’ll never discover those. So STOP MARINATING IN YOUR WHAT IF’s , and SHOULD’VE’s.

Cybirb's releasing another new game!

(A game that lets me romance Darcy? TAKE MY MONEY NOW.)

It’s the first day of your employment as an antique book appraiser, a job you’ve dreamed of for years. On your first assignment, you’re sent out to an estate sale. Intrigued by the gothic mansion, you wander the grounds, and discover, under a pile of andirons, a book. The book looks innocent – though the cover is too worn to read the title. You nearly didn’t open it… but… you did and…

POOF!

When the smoke clears…

Where am I?

You learn that the book you found is a portal to the land of Biblioteca. In this land, the greatest heroes… and villains… of literature are alive. You’re thrilled. Who wouldn’t be? Until you learn, that there are some who want to censor this world… and some who want to burn it all down. Unfortunately for you…

I’m trapped here for three months? What about my new job?

Can you stay here that long without getting involved with the characters?  For if you fall in love, you’ll jeopardize them all....

Where should Jews live? Where do they belong? Where do you consider their native land to be? Honest question.

an honest question deserves an honest answer so here ya go:

Anywhere and everywhere. Jews- the followers of the Abrahamic religion Judaism- along with Muslims, Christians, Atheists, Sikhs, Vegans, and literally any human being under the sun have the right to live wherever they please (given certain criteria are met like visas and that it isnt a military station/ off limits area etc).

Yes my dear reader(s) you read that right; ones faith or lack thereof shouldnt be an obstacle in any aspect of ones life, be it medical services, education, job opportunities, so on and so forth. How novel.

That answers where they 'should' live (although I dont by any means impose anything on anyone; y'all do whatever as long as its legal and harms no one including yourself. God bless). Could is more accurate.

As for where they 'belong', this in my opinion is one of the beauties of religion: people from all walks of life can belong to a religion. Diversity lies at the heart of our existence as human beings and denying it is like denying the existence of the sun. Tolerance is a must if we are ever going to get along with each other. And this belonging isn't irrevocabley tied to geography. But I digress :)

Quick aside just so we're all on the same page: converting to a religion renders you just as valid and equal as someone born into a religion. Most if not all religions preach equality between their followers regardless of background, so i wont hear anything of 'oh theyre not real xyz' or 'they dont count' or any of that bs.

By this logic (religious demographics are, generally speaking, very diverse), there is no 'this set of people belong here, and those over there' ...and proof of that in a sense would be atheists/ agnostics; where would they 'belong'? Antarctica? Outer space? alright ill stop XD

If that were the case, most of the planet would be crammed in the Middle East lol [Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon alone are home to 34M (as of 2023), and the followers of the 3 main Abrahamic religions are an estimated 3.4B (as of 2020) globally. We wouldnt fit even if we used one of these]. Yeah nationality/ race/ ethnicity/ background influence and maybe even dictate one's religious identity, but it isn't the all or nothing we may think it to be.

Which brings us nicely to the next point, and here if you'll allow me i'd like to correct it to native land of Judaism (where it originated/ flourished/ spread whatever) as opposed to native land of Jews because as i mentioned above, a religion doesnt (or shouldnt) differentiate nor discriminate between its followers. By restricting them to one geographical location (and for some using it as an indicator of their authenticity) we do them great disservice as well as contradict the teachings themselves. A demonstration:

Im Jordanian right, (dad's maternal side are from bilad al sham; Syria) and im a born Muslim alhamdulillah. My dads Malaysian roommates from his uni days are also born Muslims (and have the best food lol, my all time favourite is lemak cili padi) and seperating us on the basis of them not being Arab or Middle Eastern is unislamic, intolerant, xenophobic, and wrong on every level. Alternatively, im just as Muslim as someone from Mecca or Medina. We're all Muslim. we are the world...

Circling back, Judaism the religion is native to the Holy land (I guess you can say it started in Egypt till it moved there but idk. Regardless), and Jews (adherants of the faith) can't in my humble opinion be fairly categorised as one monolithic unit... just like any and every other faith out there.

Another quick aside; this is merely a tumblr post that cant do the history and culture and intricacies and so much more of this matter a portion of the justice it deserves. I am but a tired medical student answering to the best of my abilities a question I was asked with my limited knowledge in theology and perspective in general, so do me a favour and keep that in mind. And to anyone reading this if you have questions or corrections or resources or anything you want to mention be my guest :)

If you're still here, I'm both grateful and amused. Here's what you probably came for, the piece de resistance if you will: 🍉israel🍉

Disclaimer: thanks for reading this far, but if you disagree in any way shape or form with any of the 30 human rights articles, you may as well stop reading and put your device through the shredder. Bigots, racists, fascists, anti vaxxers etc. dni

So far ive seen this idea, call it what you will, two times (which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened to me twice consecutively), that claims the freedom of Palestine equals a genocide of the Jews.

Er, no? No ma'am. One does not solve a genocide by comitting another genocide. What part of 'never again' are we missing here?

Before we get into politcal nominations and factions and other territories i dont plan on invading (pun intended) but might accidentally cross anyway (I forgot where i was going with this) i want to remind everyone that Judaism is not synonymous with Israel nor zionism (if u disagree with this go ahead and shred ur device too).

A refresher: Judaism is a religion, Israel is an illegal-occupying-apartheid-state, and Zionism is a movement/ ideology

So 'genocide of the Jews' is both wrong (diction) and more wrong (factually incorrect) in that the liberation of Palestine means freedom from oppression, discrimination, settler colonialism... the whole nine yards. Enough bloodshed already its been nearly 76 years.

When Netenyahu is eventually drop kicked out of office (and hopefully hung, drawn, and quartered for his plentiful warcrimes) what happens to the (illegal) citizens of Israel? Well first off, return the stolen homes and land to their rightful owners who have the keys (and documents if they werent tampered with or erased) to prove it.

As for the illegal-under-international-law settlements and new also illegal establishments; I have no idea what international laws will decree (not that I have that much faith in the judiciary system), but I assume they will be seized and evicted of the illegal tenants (how you like me now?) and given to those who have been displaced or homes ruined etc. because its theirs and theirs alone and it was unlawfully and cruelly taken away from them and not because the (remaining lol) former Israeli citizens can't or shouldn't live in palestine. they can go live somewhere where its legal. the priority is Palestinians tho.

What about the indigenous everyone else? As long as their houses aren't stolen or illegal they can should stay because its legal and its theirs and thats that. you cannot kick someone out of their home to give it to another (which was the basis of the creation of Israel.) because its ✨i l l e g a l✨

And the people who dont belong so to speak? I think this one's case by case; like I said at the very, very beginning; people have the right to live wherever as long as its legal and ok to do so regardless of faith or background, and no one should be denied their right to live in Palestine as a country like any other, but they certainly must be denied living in homes stolen and given to them because thats, say it with me now, illegal <3

I mean, given Tamsyn Muir’s creative influences, we can’t confidently rule out the possibility that the entire Locked Tomb series is just a very elaborate setup for an extremely stupid pun.

[ehwhocaresnotshakespeareihope]

How do I make what happened between us gentle? How do I make one of the most annihilating moments of my life less violent? Others might think there was verbal or emotional abuse involved but truth being the lack of words and emotions is what made it catastrophic. It’s very difficult to explain how in the beginning all we had were words and your eyes that spoke to mine, and in the end it was just the yearning that was coherent but the reality that you had in your mind clouded your eyes. We never spoke again, never in a way that felt like there was comprehension involved , it was just my begging for you against your reality that you were stoic about. I hope when you come back you see the destruction your lack caused. And if you don’t come back I hope you realise how much power you hold.

Non-RPer: So let me get this straight, you've written platonic romance with someone before?

Me: Yes. Non-RPer: you've written hetero sexually intimate romance with someone before? Me: Yes. Non-Rper: you've written gay sexually intimate romance with someone before? Me: Yes. Non-Rper: you've written sapphic sexually intimate romance with someone before? Me: Yes. Non-Rper: you've written queer sexually intimate romance with someone before, where on character was cisgender and the other person was gender fluid/trans/non-binary? Me: I didn't know what genderfluid/trans/nonbinary was at the time, but yes, that was my character and yes, I did. Super sappy and super cute.

Non-Rper: -inhales- So...after all that you...Let me understand, after all that sexual romantic intimacy fiction....that you actually wrote...with someone...you're still....a....sexual? Me: Yes. Non-Rper: I don't get it. You've written smut.

Me: It's the thrill of the emotional and psychological buildup that gets you there and then maintaining it. I've also written a homosexual centuries connected, across life times, lost but then found love, non-sexual, super domestic-life romance too. It's the creative non-sexual intimacy we have the MOST fun with. Non-Rper: And your writing partners... Me: Oh I'm literary-ly married to them. Pun intended. :D
