Sabir laughing after you punch Nikke while everyone else is exasperated is such a great moment

Sabir lives for drama and don't ever let him tell you otherwise

[medicinemane]

Have you seen how lazy the house is?

All kinds of shit congress needs to get done and johnson is constantly like "hey... another vacation?". I'm pretty sure they're taking another one next week and they just came back from a two week one last month

Do some work you lazy fuckers

[snekdood]

"why didnt the mass shooter just go after politicians???"

you're thinking about it in the way you would do it if you were in that state of mind

it's usually not even actually about politics and is more often about interpersonal issues. the politics only exist to justify their actions, they're not the reason for them per se

if people ACTUALLY listened to the people who research this phenomenon you'd realize most mass shooters do it bc of a shitty upbringing of some sort, which is why the real solution is making sure no one feels so hated that they start to despise "everyone" (their mind distorts and PERCEIVES its everyone even if its just a small group of people) for making them feel hated and if you have way to easy of access to firearms, which is one of the biggest reasons mass shootings happen, you might decide thats the best way to "deal" with a world that "hates" you.

Hi, could u do yandere ciel, sebastian, ran mao, lau, ash, and hannah from black butler with a reader like teruhashi from saiki k, shes basically a really pretty girl who believes she is completely perfect but acts sweet and humble outside, and has a huge fan club involving other nobles and important politicans, and is actually loved by literal gods and is seen as a goddess to other ppl with ppl willing to sacrifice their life for them all bc just for her beauty.

Teruhashi Reader | Yandere Black Butler

Your beauty is other-wordly, causing all to indescribable chase after your heart and happiness. As it's always been. And just as your fan base has always been so has your arrogance and narcissism. You know you’re the perfect of most perfect and it's all going to your plan. You worried that even those who might have an inkling of your true thoughts might think to stop you but just like the others they're just as obsessed with you:

Ciel Phantomhive

“If you’d be willing, the Phantomhive estate would appreciate your visit.”

He’s not offering this is a warning

He wouldn’t trust the uninformed masses to mishandle you

It's best you stay within his trusted care

Forget about being a bargaining chip 

He sees how others revolve around you and he feels the need to insert himself

Perhaps protect you like he wasn’t 

Sebastian Michaelis

“You are truly someone of power, to deceive so many humans. It's admirable.”

Sees through your actions easily 

Your character is an enigma he finds himself falling for all the same

Perhaps it's not the universal charm you seem to have but your general behavior

Either way, he’s more than happy to be commanded to protect your blissful existence

And it's more than entertaining to watch how the world bends to your twisted will

Ran Mao

“...keep?”

She doesn’t need to speak often for all to know she loves you

Nuzzling into your neck, hugging you from behind, squeezing your chest

Her lack of boundaries works perfectly for her

And you’d be none the wiser holding her roaming hands that had the blood of potential suitors on them

But if Lau approves she’ll start making moves to exact their will

Lau 

“Yes, I think that’s a delightful idea Ran Mao!”

He’s intrigued and in love at first sight

Now that first sight most definitely is not when Ciel holds that ball

No doubt he’s been aware of your existence for awhile

Its only a matter of time before he starts making moves to have you in his grasp

Ash Landers  

“Such purity! You truly are the diamond surrounded by human scum!”

Is definitely unbiased lies

He’s not in love he’s aware of your true purity lies again

He’s madly obsessed no doubt putting you on a deity-like level

He will commit all sorts of atrocities in your name

And should you protest he twists your words

or worst of all he decides you've becomes poisoned

To which he’ll happily sorrowfully remove you’re infected self

Hannah

“My master wishes for you to stay…won’t you please (Y/n)?”

As always Alois’ will is but her own

She’s just happy they match up this time

She’d want nothing more than for you to join their family

No doubt she knows her master and he’d refuse to…punish you the way he does her

It’d warm her heart if you came willingly

A family shouldn’t stay apart for too long

vikings modern!au except its the lothbrok divorce drama in the second round. this time everything is highly televised and constantly failing politican and business owner ragnar lothbrok gets a sextape leaked (its him and his rival ecbert) (both of them are running for the same post)

this causes his children to spiral, which means athelstan is taking care of them, but its kind of a stressful job bc hes also so preoccupied vacuuming up ragnars cocaine before hvitserk can accidentally eat it (this has hapepned before). aslaug is on a lesbian vampire retreat somewhere in the scottish highlands btw with her three new gfs because she naturally returned to the polycule lifestyle immediately post divorce.

lagertha is currently busy getting bjorn into a uni he doesnt have the grades for by wiring herself hte money for a library building from ragnar's account (she naturally still has all his passwords and theyre all gydas birthday) (gydas still dead btw she had cancer with was super tragic but also ragnar definitely brings it up in all of his campaigns) (rip)

athelstan's also sweating balls taking care of ivar bc ivar is literally runnign a mlm in his school and also selling webinars on telegram or somtehing. ubbe has three breakdowns per hour over masculinity and his trauma but also hes bringing home margrethe, which means that athelstan constatnly just rhows protection his way (hes not gay freidns with ragnar for nothing)

the only person enjoying this is sigurd, who is SO sick of being called a nepo baby and conveniently forgets that his mother is a retired super model and rockstar.

@levithestripper this is what my blog is going to become now

[vitanithepure]

Okay, I know we are all simping hard and overanalyze our favorites, and that is the highlight of tumblr experience, but now that some time has passed and I can slowly get back to thinking straight...

What else do you guys appreciate about the game? Is it a specific story element? A mechanic? Art design? Music?

For me, personally, that would be how we don't know who we can trust until... well, the very end of the game I guess. Most RPG games I played kind of make it all obvious who is the bad guy, who you can trust, who gives off "traitor" vibes. Well, BG3 sure put me through some hard choices.

Spoilers under the cut! Massive ones so if you haven't finished the game at least once be careful please.

I love how the situation changes from act to act.

We start off with tadpoles we want to get rid of, literally *every* way seems good if you are willing to pay the price of an eye or two... hell, even dealing with Raphael doesn't sound too bad at that point.

Then we learn the tadpoles are kind of keeping us alive, and a new contestant enters the ring - the Crown of Karsus and it's the new hot shit everyone is after. And now:

The Dream Visitor turns out to be an ilithid, and we suddenly realize how little we used to now. He claims he is our ride or die, but who knows? Maybe he is working towards his own power? Maybe he is under the influence of the Elder Brain?

Prince Orpheus might help us or not, we only know what the Emperor and the few gith tell us. Will he want the crown? Will he destroy it? Will he destroy us? Vlaakith wants him dead too, do we want to even bother coming into the gith conflict?

Raphael proves he can rid us of our problem, also potentially allowing us to free prince Orpheus, but do we want to give a devil the Crown? Will he really only use it to conquer the Hells? Do we even care? Do we want to risk it?

Then we have Gortash and his promise of ruling the Realms together, he seems slimy AF, but then again gives off enough pragmatic vibes that you think "maaaybe?", he wants to rule, not destroy. Then again - politicans, man, you can't trust them.

Gale wants the Crown as well, either to give it back to Mystra (to, hopefully, be destroyed...?) or use it himself. Do we trust him to be able to control it (please, don't)? Do we want Mystra to have it?

And finally do WE want the Crown? Will the Elder Brain allow us to control it? Do we trust ourselves with this? If we want to go through with destroying the Crown we need to trust someone or trun ourselves into an ilithid.

All of this and I'm not even sure I covered every possibility, because who knows what I might have missed? I literally had to stand up and take a walk around the house before I decided I can't trust the Emperor on my first run, and then Raphael popped up and I instantly knew I fucked up xD

Locomotive Rights in Australia (Victoria): Part 1

(One of the patron saints of the Locomotive Rights movement in Victoria, VR S-Class Pacific S300 Matthew Flinders, who was scrapped before he could be saved. The scrapping of the S-classes spurred the IRL steam preservation movement in Victoria)

Here I am, riffing off @joezworld's posts about Locomotive Rights as they developed around the world. Here is my personal take on what happened in Australia in regards to this issue.

(Disclaimer: Needless to say this is all fictionalised and not to be taken as a comment on any historical personage or real life locomotive. No slander is intended, this is a headcanon extrapolating Locomotive Rights in the GunzelVerse, and the TTTE/RWS AUs I write about in them, "This Is Sodor: The Iron Age" and "Red And Black Steam on Southern Metals".)

(I use the term “Lokodammerung”, literally meaning “Twilight of the Locomotives” in regards to the mass scrapping of locomotives. The Great Scrapping seems too cold, while “Dammerung” has a sad and apocalyptic timbre, which I what I wish to convey.)

If I don’t cover WAGR(Western Australia), SAR (South Australia) or QR (Queensland) , its because they are not my special interest in locomotives and I don’t know all that much about them. My apologies for the exclusion and I will try to rectify it in the future with time and research.

The situation of the railway and locomotive rights in Australia is a very strange and complex one, coded in State’s rights, custom and ideology more than anything systematic. It would be best dealt with State by State.

In spite of the celebrity of NSWGR C-38 Pacific 3801, it didn’t translate into a proper acknowledgement of non-faceless vehicles as people in of themselves until the 60’s. And even then, it was not an even process. The push actually began in the States of Victoria and New South Wales separately and converged later.

Prehistory

Upon Federation, every single State had their own specific gauge, an expression of the fervent desire for independence of the colonies before they were brought together as one nation when Australia was made into a Federation in 1901. Attempts to bring the country to a single gauge failed as each state battled with open hostility to the idea.

In the specific case of the colony of Victoria, the Broad Gauge (known widely as the “Irish’ Gague at 5’3’’) had been decided upon but as BG rolling stock and locomotives were purchased, a change of leadership brought a change of decision as to what sort of railway gauges would be used. NSW decided upon Standard Gauge of 4 ft 8 ½ inches like what was used in Britain. Victoria in a fit of pique having already paid for their goods, refused to reconsider a change of gauge.

(The Victorian terrain also suited the BG quite well, the long, broad and steep inclines requiring a more stable kind of gauge provided by the BG).

Oz is also an enormous place compared to the UK. The State of Victoria alone is the size of Great Britain and around 2700 times the size of the Island of Sodor; the states themselves cover a lot of territory compared with states in the USA. Each is its own country virtually, which makes it difficult to organise, and with the difficulties in the per-internet age toward reliable communication between engines of different states (the old break-of-gauge problem!) , it was remarkable that a resistance movement got started… and started it did.

I will now speak mainly of the State of Victoria and it’s locomotives, as this is my tendency. Without rail, Victoria could have never have been the State power that it was.

***

It was said that by the late 19th century, a Victorian human was never more than 25 kilometers from a railway line, and this was thanks to lobbying by politicans promising lines to voters… and the locomotives that requested them. As the state and the railway companies were flush with Gold Rush money, they had plenty of cash to spend to do so. The famous “Octopus Act” allowed a virtual spiderweb of iron to embrace the State, creating a near total domination of goods and passenger traffic.

Thus the locomotive was able to range quite freely within Victoria wherever they pleased, and combined with strongly built depots the sizes of which eclipsed the fleets of the NWR (the North Melbourne Locomotive Depot alone shedded 120 locomotives, compared the the total number of locos at the NWR, which was around 80 at the same time before the Norf depot was demolished) developed a certain state of educated consciousness that meshed quite nicely with the tendency towards radicalism and trade unionism.

This was aided by the amalgamation of private lines post the Railway Mania era into the governments aegis, so branchlines remained open and ready until the local version of Beeching later on turned a lot of them into tramways.

Encased within their little Broad Gauge bubble imposed by the patriotic fervor of the colonies pre-Federation, locomotives could not be as easily replaced by out-of-state loaners. The early days tended towards foreign imports that were then used as templates to be built locally… and built locally they were as a matter of state pride. A lot of VR locomotives were built at Newport Works and at Phoenix Foundary, Ballarat.

The standardization plan brought forth under the reign of Chairman of Commissioners Richard Speight in the 1880's introduced five new classes of locos (A, D, E, the so called New R-class later renamed RY, and Y) that were built locally with the aid of Kitson and Co. of Leeds, England involved in the design phase, with the view that parts could be used interchangeably across classes.

This contributed to create a certain kind of mentality within the VR locomotives of a sense of separateness and self-sufficiency which cleaved with the ever present state rivalry with their Northern neighbor, New South Wales. The overall treatment of locomotives was one of a certain kind of affection, they were tools to be sure, but more than that. It was somewhat better than the British tendency to treat the locomotives as nothing more than iron pack mules, but this was not coded into law. Status of the locomotives was by custom rather than law, which was to have consequences later on.

For a time, things were very, very good for locomotives within Victoria. An American-railways inspired Railway Commissioner , Sir Harold Clapp (the Oz equivalent to a Director, as the VR was run by a board of Commissioners spoken for by a Chairman of Commissioners), the First Thin Commissioner, had been Vice President of the Southern Pacific railways in the US and brought heavy reforms to a VR seemingly stuck in the 19th century; amongst his ideas were the integration of American design principles to VR locomotives and rolling stock, creating a distinctly rugged look to the locos with their bar-frames and pilots as well as a general increase in size, to better fit the uneven terrain of Victoria with its regular inclines of 1-50, 1-44 and even 1-30.

The amiable K-class Consolidations and the sturdy, hard working Xs and N Mikado classes were introduced in this period.

This reached the peak of design with the creation of the mighty 3 cylinder S-class Pacifics of the "Spirit of Progress" fame and then Heavy Harry at Newport, who was meant to be the first of three other H-classes built for express passenger work across Victoria. The American inspiration can be seen in his rugged bar plate frame imported from the US, the specific use of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railway's name for the 4-8-4 wheel configuration, "Pocono" for him and his very strong resemblance in appearance to fellow 4-8-4s the NYC Niagara and Union Pacific 844 Living Legend. (The other two H-classes were partially built, then scrapped during the war. So Harry had two stillborn brothers, a point of lingering grief for the big engine.)

(For more info on the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western 4-8-4 "Poconos"", see here)

Classes tended to be modified rather than outright replaced, like the A and D classes (each went through at least 2-3 waves of modifications and were marked with special names designating them as such, such as A1 , A2 and Dd ) as a cost-saving measure and often lasted a long time relative to their cousins in Britain, such as the 1915 built A2 -class 4-6-0 No 986 “Pluto”, who was only withdrawn in 1963, even though the R-class Hudsons were sent from Glasgow to replace them in 1951. In their naivety, they never thought the humans could ever turn against them.

Unfortunately, Victoria with a change of Commissioners was to echo Great Britain in the bizarre way that steam was phased out and reforms brought in. Wartime Austerity and the increasing costs of running the railways were used as excuses for local "mad choppery".

Country lines deemed unprofitable were cut, maintenance was reduced and fewer and fewer services were run, which tended to alienate people from the railways.

The VR also had some people within it that like their UK equivalents, had a deep suspicion of socialism and thus sought to break the back of the trade union of drivers and firemen by literally taking away their locomotives, and replacing them with easy to drive diesels and electrics with easy to train drivers, with the excuse that they were cheaper to run, cleaner and just overall better.

(The railwaymen’s strike in 1950 was supported wholeheartedly by the locomotives of the VR, who’s maintenance had been sorely neglected in the post war austerities; the strong presence of the unions and their relationship with the bitter, fallen prince of the fleet-turned-radical Heavy Harry and the fact that an entire depot was claimed by the Communist Party at the country town of Donald gave them more impetus to phase out steam power).

Others genuinely did believe that the time of steam was passing and the future needed to be embraced. They didn’t hate the locomotives personally, it was just that they were deemed obsolete. The steam locomotives were relics, and relics didn’t deserve a place at the main table in a rapidly changing world.

So they had to go.

With no real legal protections that other locomotives had in other countries like the USA, Europe and the Soviet Union, the Victorian locomotives were vulnerable to the encroaching end. Custom and public affection by itself cannot protect against sanctioned injustice.

14th of July 1952 was the beginning of the end for steam in Victoria. The first diesels, the pug-nosed B-class had arrived in Victoria, were built by Clyde Engineering in NSW (ironically, the same home Works that birthed the mighty NSWGR C-38 Pacifics) from an American design. The complacent VR locomotives were caught by surprise by the lean and hungry diesels who were now bedecked in the same blue and gold livery as the S-class Pacifics, who’s time was running out quickly.

The Lokodammerung had reached the Broad-Gauge southern fiefdom and showed no mercy.

The fact that this left a lot of people unemployed, destroyed a lot of side industries that made up the railway (workshops, suppliers, etc) and the costs of conversion left them unmoved. If they didn’t care about humans, they sure as hell weren’t going to care about locomotives, even if they talked and thought as humans.

As if to underline the point with extreme sadism, the mighty S-class locomotives were withdrawn and scrapped with not a hint of ceremony or acknowledgement of their hard work. That the diesels were painted in their old livery served to underline the viciousness of the insult to the VR steam locomotives.

It was an ideological point clearly made even to the humans. The enginemen seemed to read it correctly and the locomotives felt it deeply, shocked that their lieges were to be the ones sacrificed as an example to the hungry god of Modernisation.

(The R-Class was often blamed in railway enthusiast circles for giving the VR an excuse to introduce diesels, but this is backwards logic placing blame on a convenient foreign imported scapegoat. They were ordered and then the decision to bring in diesels was made and excuses were built around their seeming lack of performance when they were abused and poorly treated.

As locomotives, they did not get the chance to show their virtues… as they were deliberately worked into ruin on grain haulage jobs they were never suited for by the VR, so by the time the preservation movement got their act together, only two of their number were actually in operating condition and only 7 of 70 were saved. That the R-class clan thrived in restoration clearly indicates they have had the last laugh, they outlasted the VR!)

To Be Continued...

[straightfromthetorturedpoetsdept]

I made that really long post on the ending of the glass onion but I HAVE MORE TO SAY SORRY

Okay, so, here is the thing right. That scene with Blanc dismissing Bron as the murderer, he justifies it with "to risk committing murder after a messy public trial would be incredibly idiotic" or whatever.

This is his reasoning, that Bron cannot be that fucking stupid. Because, well, I've already said that all that shit about wanting to believe wealth = smart enough to get it and Blanc being a white man so he inherently wants to dismiss black women and legitimize white men as much as possible.

But, Bron is that fucking stupid. From the beginning, Bron was never going get away with Andi's murder, not when there is literal email proof of Andi with the fucking red envelope and then she gets murdered not long after that? Maybe not enough 24 hours? Idk, that's case shut.

But that's not the point the film was making, it's not that rich guys can hide evidence well. It's why the ending scene is set up the way its set up, because the entire film has been about exposing the support system in place protecting Bron.

That's why they're over the top stereotypes of problematic groups of society, because it's a metaphor for our own culpability in allowing people like Bron to get away scot-free.

That's why the shitheads do not consider telling the truth until AFTER they realize they'd be known as the folks who blew up the Mona Lisa, even if they lied for him- there is no return on that investment for them.

Like, Helen needed to get the people around Bron to not lie about the truth, she literally says "you would lie for a lie but not lie for the truth" because that's the common core of the film.

All of those people, they're liars, obsessed with living up to what each part of their intersection tells them they should be (i.e. Birdie being a Pick me bitch, Duke being an MRA asshole) that anything that threatens their public image, and theforefore their ability to make money, they're willing to cover up and lie for.

That's the point of the ending, that's why the film literally calls attention to the Mona lisa being fake because it's not about the real painting being damaged. It's about how Bron's friends perceive him as being smart enough to get the fucking Mona lisa from a museum, it's about challenging his friends' perceptions of his intelligence and stealth and ultimately, power.

Bron would have escaped accountability, not because of the napkin (a metaphor for evidence) but because the people around him (a top scientist, a model, a fucking politican) would have vouched for *his* version of reality, regardless of how illogical it is.

We saw what happened with Depp, for example, and how many morons spread his insane version of events that 100% contradicts all the physical evidence. We saw literal "experts" get on that stage and fucking lie, stretch the truth and we saw how willing people were to let Depp get away with it.

THAT is at the heart of what the glass onion is about. The people around the wealthy person who is willing to lie for them because they've succumbed to this idea that "the rich deserve their wealth."

[arcplaysgames]

End of the line.

Yosuke has gone full protagonist mode, which is pretty necessary at this point.

oooooh my goooooood naoto. NAOTO. In my soul, in the heart of the cards, I am stepping up being Naoto and putting my hand over their mouth. NAOTO NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR YOUR SHTICK! It is very funny he pulls this again here when faced off with the progenitor of Japan.

If Izanami were not floating off over the void, Naoto would try to handcuff them.

Okay so, I have been baffled by the Midnight Channel all this time. Izanami says that the people who showed up on it were our own doing, that it was people's desire to see the people who got famous that informed who was the target of the Channel.

I.... frankly call full and total bullshit on this because: Nanako. It makes zero fucking sense that Nanako's only connection to the Channel was being anonymously interviewed by some politican, and that people subconsciously picked a six-year-old who's name and voice literally didn't even end up on the news to be on the Channel.

Literal and complete no-sell on this. I'm saying no, this breaks my suspension of disbelief entirely, especially in a game that goes to painstaking measures to slowly unravel a murder mystery with three different suspects.

Anyway, Izanami's main point is deep down humanity only cares about lies and falsehoods blah blah blah we did this exact same argument with Ameno-Sagiri, with Marie, and with Adachi.

You ain't shit, Izanami, I don't care, fight me.

And she finally obliges.

It's a transparent warm-up boss before the main event. And once again: Not as cool as the Nyx Avatar? Did we peak with the first Persona game I finished? Ah well.

Eventually she stops taking damage so Reverie is like "Ah time to use the macguffin Igor gave me."

Well the whole thing with Izanami was that Izanagi tried to save her but she was all gross and corpse-y so he abandoned her.

WEIRDLY? That part doesn't come up. I keep expecting Izanami to talk about that aspect of her own history, being left because the truth of what she became was too much for Izanagi, who turned his back on her when he saw the truth. I feel like I was constantly waiting for that part to come up, but it never did!

Okay whatever.

The problem with Izanami is that uuuuuuuh

Missed.

Missed.

EVERYBODY DANCE NOW-- missed.

Yeah like lmao my dream team is untouchable so this fight was a steamroll. Yosuke casting Youthful Wind, Yosuke, Kanji, and Reverie hammering with high DMG skills, and Yukiko on heals. It just wasn't remotely a challenge.

SO SHE HAS TO FUCKING CHEAT AND MURDER EVERYONE AS THEY KNOCK REVERIE OUT OF THE WAY. GODDAMMIT!

Of course Yosuke is the first. Obviously.

LITERALLY SCREAMED WITH LAUGHTER AT KANJI KICKING REVERIE IN THE FUCKING SKULL TO MOVE HIM OUT OF THE WAY. HYSTERICAL.

Yukiko gets got right after, so

Sucks to suck! Everyone died. Very sad.

[skitskatdacat63]

I'm sry to keep going on abt this but "Donald is someone that you got to have a lot of respect for in many ways." is haunting me so badly.

"Someone you have to respect" um no???? No you do not!! I do not want to see people defending him saying that he was put in an uncomfortable position w that question. He could've said literally anything else other than what he did. And using his first name is crazy to me 😭 like bruh wdym first name basis. I'd even rather he say Mr. Trump or something. Also McLaren's defense pisses me off as well. They basically implied they were forced into having him as their guest, idk man, just say no thanks??? If you're so non-political, just tell the FIA that you dont want any politican in your garage. But no you're spineless. It's "we don't want f1 to be political" only when it's things like blm and pride, wow.

Also. I hate it bcs now I see maga people using pics of Trump w mclaren and with drivers, and they use this to say, omg they support him!! Not to mention Trump calling them "friends" on twt ��😭

[tetsunabouquet]

I just heard that there are people planning to protest during 4 May against Israel. As a Dutch woman of Roma heritage, I AM FUMING. To those who don't know: 4 May is national memorial day in the Netherlands where we remember those who died during WWII. Whilst I find you anti-semitic fucks who are villifying every Jew in existence for what's currently happening in Israel to be awful - targeting 4 May when that day is for EVERY minority hunted down during WWII means you are targeting ALL of our communities. Remember how I mentioned that during my final year of elementary school I had a hag of a teacher? I literally remember arguing with her about how the history books barely talk about us. The REAL estimated number of deaths could have been as high as 1,5 MILLION Roma unlike the reported '400K' you'll find in your history pages. I have seen in YouTube videos from Americans and Canadians how they solely talk about the Jews and are trying to make it about black people with the unproven historic sentiment that Jewish people originally were black. I've even heard statements written out loud from American musea who only mentioned us like a footnote before talking about black people in length. Reported numbers of black people castrated/killed during WWII were a couple of thousand because that's how few black people there were in Europe. The Roma are the biggest racial group hunted down during WWII, stop trying to take that away from the potential million people that died! Give their souls the respect they deserve. How sick in the head do you have to be to be like, 'This major genocide has to be about MY race'- when the actual group hunted down for their skin and culture wasn't yours. My deadbeat dad and his sisters are more lily white looking as I always call it, but grandpa was a bit more Roma looking like me and my late grandma did make a few implied statements that it was his father who had a Romani mother. That was during WWII. My great-great grandmother likely was an elderly lady hunted down like a rat during this period. The fact my paternal family didn't had any pictures of my great-grandfather unlike his wife, worries me but it's too heavy of a subject to talk about with relatives that I have a strained relationship with. How can you make that about you? Tell me! Another one of my great-grandfathers wasn't a member of the Resistance but he did help out with food smuggling. Ever heard of the Dutch famine during WWII? My great-grandfather tried to keep regular Dutch citizens alive and was willing to stick his neck out as one of the richer families of the area to help the lesser priviliged and he was publically beaten for it by the Nazis as an example for the townsfolk. He's the only male relative I am proud of to be related to, because that was an act of bravery and generosity worthy of praise.

Not every wealthy white man is a greedy devil, my great-grandfather proved that. As much as I hate Frank Timmermans (Dutch politican), I do agree with his statement that you can protest on every fucking day of the year- just not memorial's day. This day belongs to so many non-Jews too and making this about Israel is just overshadowing the other victims once more. We haven't done anything to deserve to get erased. Yet the media, history books and non-Roma do that very thing. In my own personal experience, even the gays are mentioned more often then we are. The only group that might be more forgotten then we are, are the disabled. And as an autistic individual that also earns my ire.

I can bet my ass off that none of those sickening protesters would have been hunted down if we lived during WWII, unlike me. I have to live with that and the handful of people throughout my life who did call my blood impure. LEAVE 4 MAY ALONE!

What the hell is happening in s4 of you. Not gonna lie the first half of the season is boring but when it was revealed that joe was obsessed with (and implied to be in love with? Why would he make a weird Rhys stalker box like he did with all of his other loves if that wasn’t the case at least a little?) this random British politician and hallucinated this politican being a serial killer that’s in turn obsessed with Joe and wants him to kill people. Of course this does make some of the earlier scenes funny. Joe is quite literally blackmailing and framing himself for crimes he did indeed commit. I’m not saying it’s a good season but you can’t tell me this shit isn’t entertaining as fuck.
