Z has only supported Palestine when her fans on twitter have called her out to do so. Like idk I don’t think people should praise something that came from a place of pressure, it’s just too much of a coincidence that her fans were criticizing her on twitter and then a post went up
Last time a year or two ago it was the same, and Hunter Schafer posted a twitter thread after Z’s post about how celebrities don’t come from a genuine place with activism since they’re so often pressured into it
tbh, celebrities shouldn't be the place people go to regarding geopolitical matters, but sometimes the bare minimum from them can spark in people the desire to research things that they refused to pay attention to up until now and get involved. with z's huge following, that simple post can nudge people into opening their eyes to what's going on. the bar is literally in hell, but so many celebs are stuck in the pits of hell because of that freaking letter to Biden basically praising him for being a genocide supporter, so regardless of motivation or intent, Z is still placing her piece on the side of humanity, which is still more than hundreds of her colleagues in hollywood.
sometimes late is better than never, and sometimes the bare minimum is the best you can do, especially in matters where one side is incredibly powerful and controlling when it comes to narrative and influence. even a simple post like hers could earn the wrath of Israel because of her influence, but I'm glad she still made it. like I said, celebs shouldn't be the authority on what's going on, but at this point, being silent was no longer an option, and I'm just glad she chose to side with humanity.

I think it would really benefit people to internalize that mental illnesses are often chronic and not acute. Some of us will never be able to jump the hurdle of managing illness, much less sustaining a sense of normalcy. Many of us will never "recover," will never manage symptoms, will never even come close to appearing normal - and this is for any condition, even the ones labeled as "simple" disorders or "easy-to-manage" disorders.
It isn't a failure if you cannot manage your symptoms. It isn't a moral failure, and you aren't an awful person. You are human. There's only so much you can do before recognizing that you cannot lift the world. Give yourself the space to be ill because, functionally, you are.

Reading the reaction to Larian's decision to fully step back from wotc/d&d/etc has been interesting
a lot of mourning of the loss of "content"
"we could have had years and years of content" "this is heart breaking to never see these characters again" etc etc
is that what you really want? content? is this what modern media production has come to, that people aren't sated with anything less than milking a property until it's a barren husk of anything it once was?
Why can't we be happy with what we have? I don't think it's unfair to be sad about this news, especially given that it felt like some things were being teased or hinted at, and now they most likely will not come to fruition (at least at larian's hands), but is that really so bad? If you're so dissatisfied with a character's ending or arc, write a fanfiction, draw fanart, boot up the game again and just imagine your way into what you DO want
is that not the fundamental nature of d&d?

aight so it's that time of year again. funny post announcing me temporarily being offline (including discord) for ~a week maybe more so I can focus on my finals. this is mostly just an announcement for my friends so that you don't think I'm ignoring you or that something has happened 2 me :] (that happened last time and I felt bad). I thought it would be easier 2 do it on my blog than. message multiple ppl and tell them I'm leaving dkdndndndn
I will not be on tumblr or discord from april 27th-may7th most likely. so dont be alarmed if im not around!
I'll rb this post around the time I will be absent :] wish me luck when the time comes!

I don't have much time to draw because of school but I managed to do some lazy drawings today.
I actually wanted to make something with colors and stuff but I just can't find any time to do that. At least this week since I have a lot of studying on my head right now. But maybe I'll manage to draw more on the weekend!!
So for now here's a usual Nerevar and Rasha thing :3
They're really fun to draw for me. I feel like I keep making both of their hair longer and longer so uh... Whoops :T
