Audio books but it’s Michael Sheen reading books as Aziraphale and sometimes you hear David Tennant shouting something obnoxious as Crowley.

My opinion on the IDF

(Because, yes, despite me being Pro-Israel, I still have ✨thoughts✨)

People need to stop comparing the I/P conflict to the Holocaust. It is nothing like the Holocaust and Israel is nothing like Germany. And you making that comparison really shows how little you actually know about WW2. Read any history book. Read Anne Frank, or Night. In fact, the closest thing to the Holocaust that is happening in this war is what is happening to the Israeli hostages. They are under way more of those conditions. 

No. If we are to ever compare this to any other war, it is more similar to the Vietnam War. 

The IDF is very similar to US soldiers in Vietnam.

Look. We can all agree that US was on the right side of Vietnam. They were helping the Southern Vietnamese from the Northern Vietnamese. So when you hear “They were on the right side/good side” you automatically think they were the good guys. Wonderful heroes. And, yes, Vietnam veterans were heroes. But they did some fucked up shit. 

For example, according to one veteran, one time when one of his friends had been murdered, out of anger, they all burned an entire town down. US soldiers took out a lot of their frustrations and anger onto the Vietnamese. So while we all agree that they are on the right side and are the good guys, they did some fucked up shit. Stuff that cannot be excused at all. 

Another example is in WW2! We all think of the allies as the good guys! They fought against the terrible Nazis and yadada. America was on the good side, they were one of the main sides that took down Germany! So while we acknowledge that America was the right side the be on, we cannot forget the horrible things they did. For example..

They had Japanese concentration camps. 

Bet you didn’t know that. 

The reason for this was because the amount of violence they saw and experienced was involved with Japan. They were traumatized but it is no excuse to do something like that!

America was the right side, but they weren’t the perfect military. 

No military is perfect!!!!!!!!!!!

That includes the IDF. 

But here’s the thing, on the side of the ‘good guys’, usually when there’s extremely violent people in the military, there are usually two reasons for this. 

They have experienced horrors beyond comprehension while fighting on the battlefield, causing them to become jaded and bitter

Or 

2. They were always a violent person and they joined the war to take that out onto others. 

It is the tragic reality that every single military has people like this. It is history. The historical ‘good guys’ did horrible things as well. 

That brings me back to the Vietnam War. 

The soldiers saw so many horrible things that could actually compare very well to what the IDF has seen. 

US soldiers had no way to tell if a citizen was Northern Vietnamese or Southern Vietnamese. 

Usually by the time they learned, it was too late. 

There are stories of US soldiers having a Vietnamese child come up to them, holding something. About to give them a gift! But when they opened their hand, they were holding a grenade. 

That is so similar to what Hamas is doing. They use suicide bombers and child soldiers. Things like that will create an idea of they can’t trust anyone. Anyone could be out to hurt them and there’s the idea of almost animalistic fighting for survival. How can you trust when Hamas could literally send a child out to kill you?!

So, really, if you think about it, the US soldiers of the Vietnam War are very similar to the IDF. 

That sense of they can’t trust anyone, violence due to the trauma and being surrounded by enemies trying to do the same fucking thing (hell, Hamas has been committing terrorist attacks on Israel for years now). Even what the two sides fight for are somewhat similar! 

The US fought to help the Southern Vietnamese and gain freedom from their Northern neighbors. Israel is fighting for freedom from their neighbors who are constantly attacking them and freeing Palestinians from their oppressive government. 

It starts out virtuous and those ideas do carry on for the most part, but it also dissolves into animalistic violence and anger because of the shit they have seen.

Also, the way US Vietnam soldiers were treated in America is actually really similar to how Americans treat the IDF. 

Nowadays when we meet a Vietnam veteran, we comment on how brave they are and how they’re a hero. Back then, though? Ohhhhh boy. Americans hated them. When soldiers would come home, Americans would yell at them, spit on them, etc. Now, doesn’t that sound familiar?

So, TLDR;

I support Israel and I support the IDF in the same way I support America in WW2 and the Vietnam War. They’re on the right side and have virtuous intent, but they sure as hell aren’t perfect and have done some fucked up shit. Yknow. Like every other military in the world. The sad reality we live in. Not everything is black and white.

Okay I'm curious

If you got a squip, who/what would it look like and what would you get it for?

Personally if I got one I'd get it for academic help/study aid (not cheating on tests) and making sure I don't die in the lab

As for who it is I'd either go Jason Momoa, my history teacher, or my design for it

DONE WITH FINALS RAHHHHH

i spent the last 5 days straight glued to a desk to the point that i needed to bandage my elbow because i was leaning on it too much and it got irritated.

for part of my essay i was talking about vampires and i talked about carry on

i’m realizing this is the third time i’ve talked about carry on in a school assignment.

once in 8th grade, once in 10th grade, and once now. insane. i wonder how rainbow rowell would feel about her book being a source in a college assignment.

baz pitch i love you forever and ever

[vitamin-zeeth]

I'm on exam leave atm and it's soo telling that even tho I'm literally a week away from my first exam this is the best I've felt the whole school year. Like yeah I have a ton of revision to do but also I just made brownies yesterday. Like I just went "I wanna make brownies" and I did. I can just fuckin do that now. This is amazing.

i think i have been following you (dont worry not irl only on tumblr) for enough time for it to be wierd of me asking what is a vocaloid...

but im still not sure so could you give me a quick run down?

OH GOD i'll try my best to explain since i'm probably not the best person with words BUT!!!!!

basically vocaloid is a voice synthesizing program! it takes samples from a human's voice and from those it allows the program to sing with any given input (obviously with their consent, since every vocaloid has their voice provider who worked with a team and stuff)

i don't know much about the technical stuff so that's all i can really say, but there are tons of vocaloid programs and it's still going to this day (vocaloid 6 and vocaloid b (or whatever that letter is) are the newest ones, vocaloid b is still being worked on iirc), and all their programs have individual voicebanks you can buy! though you can use a v4 vocaloid in a v5 program i think???? HSJKGFHEKJHGKJEHG also there are vocaloids who can sing in other languages than just japanese which is really cool

BUT YEAH!!!! there's the vocaloid program and then there's the vocaloid character, which is basically a ''mascot'' for the voice you're buying, with barely added information about them other than basic things (height, weight, age, sometimes nothing like flower). this allows people to be REALLY creative with what they want to do with a vocaloid's voice or character, for example how miku can literally be anything you want!

also, quick mention but there are also other synthesizing programs ''like'' vocaloid, UTAU is free, then there's synthesizer V, cevio etc etc! they also have their own mascots (except utau who only has defoko. you can make your own utau!!!!!)
