#i should delete this i expect

this is going to be the most obnoxious, privileged complaining you've ever heard so I'm putting it under a cut but I need to get it out of my system

the amount of money my siblings have is hilarious. my little sister has 150k saved and my brother is about to buy a 400k house. they don't earn much more than I do but they are 27 and 29 and have lived at home forever so have been able to save virtually all of their pay, if they wanted to.

i am struggling to save a couple of hundred pounds a month right now and I know that that is at least prtly because I keep ordering bubble tea and things like that but in the face of what my siblings save, i feel like laughing myself into a grave and ordering even more because how tf would I ever be able to save that much?!

at the end of the year, my savings are going to be pretty much empty because I'm re-doing my bathroom (and yes! hooray! that is a really expensive thing I CAN pay for because I have savings! this is good!) and I'm like...

I knew they had savings. I did not know they were THAT much. When I think of what I could do if I had even one fifth of that money saved. it makes me feel bleak. so fucking bleak. omg. and i have SO much. don't get me wrong. I am aware and I am grateful and the RELIEF of that is great.

but I just... jesus fucking christ, y'know? I thought I was privileged, I thought I had a lot, I thought I had no reason to talk about being concerned about not having enough money for stuff or things being expensive but DAMN.

Had a realization that I gave my last art of them typical yaoi couple size difference and decided to act upon this revelation immediately by drawing this

tried to test the waters by asking my mother what she would do if she had a gay child and she said that she'd have them sent to ghana (home country) to be purified. ok

You know, it's heart shattering that war in Ukraine is almost 2 years and there is no single repost in your blog on that matter...

And the problem is that ordinary citizens of other countries are not aware of the horrors of the war and the real numbers of Ukrainian casualties. The overall figures are based on UN reports, which are far from reality. They do not contain horror stories about the torture of the civilian population, the rape of not only women, but newborn children, not to mention the murders that the Russians carry with them. And there are tens of thousands of such stories if not more...

You know, and now almost every family, even in regions far from the war, feels pain and are suffering, because someone's father, someone's husband or someone's son were killed, whom without being military, went to defend their country.

And for those who say that Ukraine is to blame or that the problem arose because of the EU and NATO, it is not so. Because as we can see, as of today, Ukraine still does not have the opportunity or potential to be a member of these organizations.

So why did I write all this? Because I really love your work, but I can't understand: how is it to condemn the war in one country, but not notice it in another?

The people of Gaza, and Palestinians in general, are not at war. They are being murdered in an ethnic cleansing and my country, and many others, are not only supporting that but providing them the funding they need to commit said genocide against civillians and children.

The horrors happening in Ukraine are awful. It definitely deserves more attention. But you don't need to entirely dismiss the atrocities happening in Gaza to do so.

You are also ignoring vital context; Ukraine has been reported on, spoken on, for the entire war. They've recieved military support. Monetary aid. Everyone is for them and I've never needed to tell my countries governement to support Ukraine, they already are.

But the political powers, right now, are supporting Isreal. They are supporting genocide. And the only times they aren't able to send that support? It is because we, the people, are stopping them from doing so. It is extremely vital in this case, with Gaza, to keep speaking on it and keep people informed. To keep people motivated.

More than 11,000 people have been murdered in Gaza. The UN has called it "a childrens graveyard". There are Isrealis who sit and watch the bombing of Gaza like it's a fireworks display.

I haven't seen anyone blame Ukraine, and I don't doubt that there are people saying that, but I have seen plenty of people blame Gaza. I've seen plenty of people blame Islam. I've seen plenty of people say that they feel nothing for the children being murdered.

Also, if you love my work so much then you probably should have noticed by now that I haven't really spoken about things that could be considered political that much before this. I spoke about things like the Queen dying and the missile that landed in Poliand, during the Russia - Ukraine war.

It's not because I'm ignoring any of it. It's because this is my dumb little fandom blog where I smash Stranger Things characters together like they're my Barbie dolls. It's a way to talk about my hyperfixation without annoying people irl, who I annoy enough by talking about politics, constantly.

But the horrors happening in Gaza, to Palestinians, is so horrible, so beyond unforgivable, that I feel like I have to talk about it. And I have a platform now- reblogging things about Palestine will bring more attention to it and, who knows, maybe one person will feel motivated to do something. I can only hope.

I don't think you guys understand how much the new surge of Hunger Games fans on Instagram and Tik Tok actually hurts my brain. I love that theres renewed interest in the series, I love that theres more content but you guys... its like there is one brain cell in this fandom and its been lost since November 17th please please stop trying to justify dystopian hitlers actions just because hes hot. Look me in the eye and please tell me that you don't want to watch 72 more movies of each of the games.

I feel like it’s wrong for anyone to make any batfam member a cop in any universe

Vigilantes and cops are natural enemies so I think any superhero who's a true hero can't be a cop

when the audhd is fun until you become "i really really really have to give my input/side/idea and i dont give a fuck who's talking or what everyone was initially talking about" and before this site's illiteracy kicks in i'm certain we're all guilty of this to some extent
