Jujutsu kaisen is so fucking good i will be watching an op shonen anime fight that levels a city and be thinking its so fucking cool but then the fight ends and the tonal shift of the characters being emotionally impacted by that level of destruction that they contributed to punches me in the head 87x combo
this might be a smidge too raw but do you ever wonder about the things your heart wants that it expresses through fiction as catharsis? do you ever worry that what your heart is saying is "i don't feel worthy of love, so i want it to hurt?"
repeating myself for the nth time the thing about rwby is that remnant is a world named for its brokenness and it has a fractured moon left behind from when its gods murdered everyone on the planet and smashed it out of spite. and before they leave they ensure that humanity will evolve for a second time but this time without the magic supposedly inherent to their beings and the only two people who still remember the old world and possess the power of that world are playing out a millennia old religious conflict as an extension of their relationship issues and never ending divorce proceedings by manifesting demonic whales the size of a city and summoning magic nukes while the normal people go look at my cool gun
Wow. Looking back on that scene where Louis was at his brother's funeral and Lestat was bothering him and Louis got mad and pushed him. I think that scene goes crazy because right after Lestat let himself get pushed around by Louis, the moment the other guy tried to get him to leave he just broke his arm without a second thought. I think that scene in particular heavily emphasized how not only does Lestat not want to hurt Louis because he could totally rock his shit if he wanted to but also that Louis truly doesn't even know what he's up against at that point.
my cats doing that not peeing enough thing my land lord is raising my rent 200 dollars i have to get a part time job which truly feels akin to jumping into a pool of sharks whilst bleeding none of this bodes well for me in the coming months
i'm reading this historical novel with a third gender character and like. i don't know how to feel about it. because obviously gender is personal and contextual and they will be operating within their own society's rules. but i feel like the author is keeping things so just-within-the-rules that it almost becomes like... a weird reluctance to engage with actual queerness? only with alternative norms? almost like. inventing new ways to be cis and then doing cisnormativity with them lmao
I almost prefer 'it was all a dream' type horror to the fantasticism of modern horror because at least you can read into the symbolism in dream horror. What the fuck does the bad guy getting superpowers symbolize huh
So the 2 terrible things about the savage worlds system and also enjoying roleplaying are a) you desperately do not want to volunteer for something but b) the vibes demand it
Even if the ongoing ruthless genocide in Gaza ends, our children have nowhere to return to. The home they were supposed to grow up and make memories in was reduced to rubble in the blink of an eye,but that's the least of their worries for now.
At present, they have no shelter from the scorching sun except a flimsy tent that barely shields their little fragile bodies from the sizzling summer temperatures. In winter, my family suffered from the freezing cold and heavy rain, and now they are being stifled by extremely hot weather inside a makeshift tent made out of cloth that renders the sweltering heat even more unbearable. What makes things worse for them, is water scarcity. It's beyond heart-breaking for me to watch as Omar and Salah's only relief here is to drench themselves in salty sea water to cool their small already malnourished bodies. Going to the beach,too, is not only for leisure for them. In the past, we used to go there to escape the summer heat amidst the constant power cuts. Presently, my family, like all the dispalced in the strip, go to the sea to flee the tent's hell. However, being forced to go there does not mean it's a safe place,for the occupation's army and missiles have targeted it multiple times, killing hundreds of civilians on its shores.
Even the simple pleasure of having a proper shower is denied to our kids and their baby siblings who are suffering the most from the blistering heat. The newborns' health has already been deteriorating and they have been unable to thrive but the current situation makes them even more vulnerable. On top of malnutrition, they face a high and imminent risk of severe dehydration. Unfortunately, If the worst happens, there are no adequate healthcare facilities or medical staff to treat them as all hospiatls in Gaza have either been bombed or evacuated.
My family don't even have the luxury of using an electric fan due to the total relentless electricity cut. They have no choice but to use plastic lids and cardboard sheets as fans to endure the suffering in the airless tight space they're forced to be crammed in, drenched in sweat, not even having enough change of clothes for themselves or the children. Even falling asleep has become a challenge in those conditions.
As the unimaginable amount of bombs being dropped daily on our city keeps increasing the warming, no sanitation is available to reduce the garbage, foul smells, and insects all around. Even mosquitos have had a share in torturing my family members. These well-known infectious disease vectors are especially a threat to our children and babies health.
People tend to complain about the rising temperatures even in the comfort of their air-conditioned homes. Imagine spending the scorching summer days in a hellish tent! My family, like countless others,are deprived from even enjoying a cold drink or having a regular shower in this suffocating heat. Please don't give up on them and the babies. Keep them in your prayers, donate any amount you can spare whenever possible, and reblog as often as you can. Your support is invaluable.
It's beyond words to say how grateful we all are 🙏
