Heads up/warning that I'm going to start posting articles related to the Israel-Palestine War

I've worked really, really hard to keep my blog about positive news only, and that's going to continue - these posts will be only about good news related to the war.

Of which there really, really isn't much, so I don't know that there will be a lot of posts, but I will be posting articles about humanitarian aid reaching those who need it and actions that will prevent more lives from being taken.

I know that, no matter my position on the war, this is something that would be very controversial and make a lot of people upset, so I wanted to be explicit about my position on this - and my posting policy, which is not the same thing. I also wanted to give people a heads up because I know the war in general is really, really triggering for a lot of people right now, for a lot of different reasons. I'll be tagging all relevant posts, so if screening those out is something that you need to do, you can.

I have worked very hard to make this blog a space with only good news because I know how much it can matter to have just one place, if nowhere else, that you can count on to not give you emotional whiplash with horrible news. To know you have one place you can go where you are guaranteed not to see bad news that will send you into a tailspin. That's why I've had a policy of not including signal boosts or PSAs about tragedies, no matter what they are, on this blog. (I do post about some of that stuff, including the Israel-Palestine War, on my main blog, though. I consider this blog to be me trying to run a public service, basically, and so have specific policies for myself around that, including my editorial and fact-checking standards.)

I'm going to be honest, I was really, really hoping the war would end after a couple of weeks, which has historically not been uncommon for wars with/involving Israel.

But that's clearly not happening, and I can't keep not acknowledging what's happening on here, so, this post.

With that, I imagine people probably want to know my actual stance on the war, since that's what I'll be posting in accordance with.

So, here's the official stance of this blog:

Every time a civilian is killed, it is a tragedy; Every time a child is killed, it is a tragedy, no matter their nationality. I condemn all antisemitism and all Islamophobia.

I support all calls for a ceasefire, as well as demands that Israel immediately stop its repeated bombing of hospitals, ambulances, shelters (including UN shelters), and refugee camps.

There is no situation in which the repeated and/or intentional bombing of hospitals is justified.

There is no situation in which the repeated and/or intentional bombing of shelters or refugee camps is justified.

There is no situation in which the repeated and/or intentional bombing of ambulances is justified.

There is no situation in which the killing of children is justified. Yet more children have now been killed in Gaza than in all global conflict zones combined in each year since 2019.

There is no situation in which cutting off an entire country and/or territory's supply of food and water is justified.

Yes, this applies to every group involved in the war, including countries supplying either side, and any countries or non-state organizations who may yet join the fighting.

The initial Hamas attack on Israel was a tragedy. The continued Israeli bombardment and invasion of Palestine is also a tragedy.

Most of the things I post will be about aid reaching Palestinians or news about tangible, confirmed progress toward a ceasefire. I probably will not be posting good news posts about aid reaching Israel, unless it's explicitly and only humanitarian and/or barring drastic unforeseen changes in circumstance. This is because as of yesterday, November 7, the Palestinian death toll is over 10,000 to Israel's roughly 1,400 (only about 200 of whom have been killed in the past month, starting on October 8, aka outside of the initial attack by Hamas). At least 3,195 children have died in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel.

The Palestinian death toll is nearly 8 times the Israeli death toll. The number of children killed is 110 times higher in Palestine than Israel. (Source for death toll here, ratios via calculator.) Every single one of those deaths is a tragedy - and there have been far, far too many tragedies this past month.

(On a related note, Israel stands very, very little chance of actually eliminating Hamas with this war. The US has attempted this same strategy and failed many times: the US failed to eliminate the communist/North Korean regime in the Korean War, which is technically still ongoing 70 years later; failed to eliminate the Viet Cong in the Vietnam War; failed to eliminate numerous groups of Iraqi insurgents in the Iraq War, which triggered Iraq's civil war; and failed to eliminate the Taliban in the Afghanistan War, even though that war lasted for literally 20 years. Afghanistan is once again under total Taliban control.)

The last thing we need is another 20 year war. The last thing we need is more civilian deaths. Bombing civilian settlements, as well as hospitals, shelters, and refugee camps are war crimes under international law, meaning that both Israel and Hamas have committed war crimes.

It's time for the war crimes to stop.

Humanitarian aid reaching civilians is good news, and I will be posting accordingly.

Ceasefire now.

takin' your chance, it's a big mistake. i said, "it might blow up in your pretty face." i'm not sayin', "do it anyway!" but you're going to.

Don’t mind me just crying over the Bumbleby confession again <3

[dailypav]

So which contestants are most likely to save pav if they saw the scene at the tower. (Don't even include caligura, we all know where he'd place lmao

oh shit this is a good question

i think characters like august, olivia, and abella would immediately jump into action out to save him of sheer kindness (and daan also because he feels its his duty as a doctor)

honestly i feel like mooost of the contestants would save him, even karin and marcoh

karin would tell herself its just to question him but i think she'd definitely care at least a bit about his well-being

and for marcoh, well he said himself that he wouldn't want pav dead in a ditch somewhere even if he did think pav was a bad person

one of the only contestants (aside from caligura of course) that probably wouldn't save him is samarie, she would probably just think he's a loser and walk away lmaooo

and idk i dont think o'saa would bother that much, he'd fully recognize the tragedy of pav's situation but would think its for the best to just leave him to his fate, like, what's the point of saving him now when he'll probably die in a couple days anyway, and wouldn't have much of a reason to keep going even if he did survive? (thats a bit morbid rijgrgjgjg but it feels accurate to me)

aaaand is it awful of me to say that levi would be lower on the list of people who would save him? like after spending basically his whole life feeling obligated to serve authority figures/superiors i think he'd be hesitant about it

even if he did see pav betray the kaiser, levi still has little reason to trust him based on their previous encounters and he probably doesn't want to have another soldier indebted to him after having JUST escaped the war

i don't think he would want him dead, he might just freeze up and by the time he can figure out what to do its already too late

but eh i might be wrong there

Whyyy are people surprised about the whole "devil on your shoulder" thing. While it is obvious that Solas is a tragic and complicated character who's not without reason and is in his right to believe what he does, he's still the antagonist. A lot of us sympathize with him yes but the game is still (allegedly) about regret and fixing mistakes, not about being right.

Like I'm genuinely, unironically sorry to every Lavellan ever who wanted nothing more than follow Solas and help him tear down the veil, but so far it's clear we'll be playing against his ideals. That's the set direction of the game - to change his mind/stop his plan at all costs (whichever you chose), and every attempt to sway us will probably be framed by the narrative as him luring us to the dark side. I'm not saying it's a 100℅ good thing or something, I'm just saying that's probably what it'll be like.

Like I understand why some want him to succeed, I really do, but I also fear people might be setting themselves up for a disappointment. And the impending fallout of it all scares me.
