What's stopping the possibility of a ceasefire is pretty simple. Hamas is holding 239 Israeli civilians hostage including children and the elderly. What's happening in Palestine is a travesty and horrendous. But Israel can't initiate a ceasefire from the position they're in, so we need to be agitating for Hamas to release the hostages and call for a ceasefire instead.

NO GENOCIDE IS JUSTIFIABLE

HOW DOES THE KILLING OF INNOCENT PEOPLE ON THIS EXTREME LEVEL FORCE HAMAS TO RETURN HOSTAGES??

ISRAEL'S BOMBARDMENT AND INDISCRIMINATE SHOOTING IN GAZA THREATEN EVERYONE THERE INCLUDING DOCTORS JOURNALISTS CHILDREN ENTIRE FAMILIES AND THE HOSTAGES

EVERYONE IS TARGETED

YOU HAVE HOSPITALS BOMBED HOW ANY OF THIS IS JUSTIFIED

You know more about this than I do.

Hozier writes with a sluttiness one would only find written on the walls of a Greek bathhouse. Perhaps with the poetic horniness, you'd find in an 18th-century letter from a man who has a healthy sex life with his new wife. All of this, to dress like an 80s masc lesbian.

if I had a nickel for every time brennan made up a religious term that sounds completely real and and has all the latin roots and everything but then i find out it's not by googling it and only dimension 20 stuff coming up i'd have two nickels

which isn't a lot but it's bonkers how he keeps hitting it out the park with fucking etymological worldbuilding

remember when velara's altars made use of a dagger? good times. he did not think to put the dagger down before going to sippy on the potion. the gods all agree it was a skill issue

You ever think about what it was like for Luz to explain to her friends and family that ‘oh yeah I died saving the Collector when he tried to friendship Belos into being good, until King’s dad, who’s also bigender, pulled me out from sinking into death, told me to tell King he loved him with a bread pun-also he had a dad bod and a mini Hootie just sticking out of one of his eye sockets- and then asked me if I wanted to be the chosen one and when I agreed I came back from death! And like, Eda and King already dealt with the ‘holy shit Luz actually died’ thing but like, Camilia, Amity, Gus, Hunter, and Willow knew absolutely NOTHING

at that point I think Luz just has to sit down with Eda and King and they all have to think about the pros and cons of just. not. saying anything. and keeping it on the down-low that Luz died briefly. Eda and King are both absolutely fucking terrified of anyone else hearing, especially Eda since Luz died, y'know, while under her watch, so.

Of course, as Luz is explaining this, she says something along the lines of "I mean, we haven't even really processed Hunter's death, so it could either work with us or--"

to which Eda immediately stands up, bids fare thee well, and busts out the strongest bottle of wine she has. she has not processed her own kids death, she's not about to think about that other kid briefly dying, thank you very much

Misplaced a cricket in my room again, hoping this one doesn't feel the need to screech all night or I might actually scream and cry

yesterday (06/12) was the anniversary of me watching top gun for the first time so here are some of my favorite personal reviews

i saw tg and tgm in june & didn’t think about tg for two months. i wrote the epilogue for wwgattai on august 10 and THEN rewatched it on the 11th & that’s when i knew there was enough potential to start writing wwgattai for real

a lot can change in a year. :)

hiii this post contains huge spoilers for ep 22 of the golden palace, so don’t read / watch under the cut if you’d like to avoid that!!

to the rest of you… hi. I NEEEDDDD to talk about this scene right here (excuse the quality, unfortunately I couldn’t find a better source):

you already know what I’m going to say.

Firstly: this was incredibly satisfying to watch & hear. It’s one thing for Dorothy to berate Stan but BLANCHE? Somehow it’s almost better. Because Dorothy has some empathy for him, being the father of her children and all, but Blanche? All she’s ever known him for is continually hurting and lying to her best friend / the divorce / walking out on her (as she mentions, quite boldly, but I’ll touch on that in a moment) / using her (Dorothy) for money or attention KNOWING that she’ll give him her time when she shouldn’t (when she’s already said goodbye, Stanley.) / cheating !!!more than once!!! / the list goes on.

I get the feeling, as Blanche goes on getting progressively worked up thinking about all the shitty things Stan has done, that she’s been waiting YEARS for this moment. Not for his death, but for a moment where she can finally bask in the knowledge that he can no longer hurt Dorothy, or his children, or their family. He is gone. Gone gone gone, for good.

what really got me was the silence, her tone, and the look in her eyes after “[he] walked out on your daughter.” That silence was loud. And whether it was an attempt to get Sophia (who’s not nearly as numb to Stan’s shenanigans as Dorothy was, but still let him off the hook much more often and for longer than she should have) to finally see him for how awful he was, or if it was coming from a place of genuine anger that she hadn’t had the room to express before; the emphasis on that line was purposeful. It healed something in me 😭

There’s also an emphasis on “finally gone” , which leads me to assume Blanche, although she would never say this out loud, might be a little relieved by the news? And with all that she said being true, I can’t blame her. It’s not like she had any important connection to him anyways, the one time Dorothy thought she might have slept with him ended up not being the case at all - she’s hated him since the beginning and it’s so nice to finally see her getting her moment of “yeah, since no one else wants to say it: this dude fucking sucked and shouldn’t be glorified now because he died.” No redemption for Stan!!!! Blanche gets it!!!!! he was an ass and now he’s dead!!! (Or so they think. 🙃)

so scary seeing popular objectum posts with over 1,000 notes sometimes. i just know some people are taking it all as #shitposting or warping it in a way that completely removes all objectum-ness…. frightening

[the-busy-ghost]

Warning- this is a very petty post, but I think I'm entitled to at least one petty, pissed-off reaction every time I finish a classic novel that hit harder than I expected so take this as my quota for the year.

Also spoiler warning for a book that came out over a century ago but still, I didn't know the plot going in so don't want to ruin it for anyone else, if you haven't read it shut your eyes. (Also Local Tumblr User Going Wild Over Book Published a Hundred Years Ago That Everybody Else Already Read should probably be categorised as akey part of indigenous tumblr culture at this point).

Anyway I just finished the War of the Worlds and in between studying I've thinking about Themes and Motifs as you do, and idly looking for further analysis. I then accidentally ran into an article called 'A Quiet Place II Succeeds Where the War of the Worlds Failed' and:

Now I haven't seen any of the Quiet Place films, this is not a rant against them and of course everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But re: the ending of The War of the Worlds, I have to ask, did this guy somehow miss, uh, the entire point of the book or am I just utterly insane?
