[Religion trauma | Religion stigma | sexuality vent below]

I can't express what goes on in my head. When the world views my Religion as barbaric, backwards and uncivilised, i get so upset. And when my Religion views my identity wrong, i also get upset. I always think, what does that make me? I can't exist in two separate universes, but I can't leave either.

I truly question how I'll go forward like this. Islam is beautiful in its nature, but it keeps getting tainted by twisted thoughts of men in power, and I feel everyone thinks I'm oppressed or something.

I truly am not. I'm not brainwashed, I'm not in a cult or something. Islam is why I am the way I am, yknow? And in the same perspective, being queer is the reason I am the way I am, too.

But I feel like these days when you tell someone "I'm muslim" they kinda get their red flags going for them. And god forbid I tell any Muslim that I'm queer.

All I really want is peace of mind. To be comfortable in my own skin. And feel like I belong somewhere. With a community thats accepting and friendly. But I don't find it in either worlds, not entirely. But then again, you can't have everything can you?

I feel isolated from both communities. Somehow I float in between, and it all adds to the sense of loneliness.

I will definitely update this! Also if I miss someone I am so so sorry, I have wanted to do one of these for so long but I am terrified that I will miss someone because I do not want anyone to not feel the love and support I have for them.

Again thanks to all of you guys, I have different levels of attachment and interaction with/to all of you ofc but you are all amazing in one or more ways and I appreciate that I have had the chance too interaction with you in some way. 😊

Love from Lou 💕

Also really pissed that it's the first of October and it's 23°c in London... like wtf

I'm here in my cosy knitted jumper and jeans not accepting defeat today... it's autumn and it's cold, nothing will convince me otherwise

Thought I was gonna have to take notes at a board meeting today for one part from noon to 2-3. Hate taking notes but whatever.

Now apparently I have to stay for the full thing which is until 5:30 which means i don't have time to go home before meeting the fam for dinner at 6, which is fun. Also I was under the impression I could zoom in, but got told I had to be there in person, which meant figuring out how to use the university shuttle, less than an hour before I had to leave, which meant I didn't even get to take a full lunch. And this program has its own assistant, so I don't even deal with most of this stuff.

I'm just glad I got here before the rain starts.

Y'all ever be writing something and then you genuinely hurt your own feelings with a part of the story you haven't even written yet? And then you get anxious because what if you don't write it well enough to get that hurt across? Like... As a concept this fic has me wanting to sob but once it's fully written I have no clue if it'll hit the same for everyone else (or even myself) and that has me spooked tbh.

*scratches at own face in angry historian*

X (be x a country, a government, a person, a flavor of jellybean) being bad does not mean “enemy of X” is good any more than the flaws of X’s enemy excuse the flaws of X.

People can oppose evil merely because they prefer their own flavor of evil, oppose hatred because they prefer to hate a different group, oppose injustice as a feint to distract from injustices of their own. 

People can, bass-ackwardly, end up helping a lot of people in the process. They can also end up killing a lot of people in the process, and making things black and white only makes you a tool to help them do it.

"I found something new that I'm really good at. I'm a ninja"

So Cole was saying this after Lou caught him going over the plan to steal the Blade Cup with the other ninja.

And here is Lou's face right after Cole said that he was a ninja:

And later, Lou says to Cole in reference to how stealing is wrong, "I'm not going to wait around to watch you make a mockery of our of our family's legacy."

And I know that at the time the episode was written, Lilly most definitely wasn't conceptualized, meaning that her being the previous Earth ninja couldn't as well.

But watching this after Season 13, you can interpret Lou's reaction to Cole being a ninja and stealing, as not only a mockery to his legacy being a dancer, but also Lilly's legacy as being a ninja.

Watching A Court of Fey and Flowers, I am seriously impressed by the fact that there are two bird-themed PCs talking about various types of birds constantly, and Brennan not only isn't playing one of them, but has stayed completely silent on the topic of birds throughout.

Thinking about my turn of the 20th century arranged marriage AU with Rhett and how he’s immediately smitten with his wife-to-be even though they’ve never met before. That is all.

[fangirlwithlou]

I really wanna see The Japanese House at their London show at the end of Oct but the tickets are sold out 😭

[a-beautiful-fool]

i just got told by a fucking teenage boy named BILLY that i’m very ‘unlikeable’ and he doesn’t understand ‘why anyone would have a crush on me’

like i know billy just sucks ass!!! so tell me why, why did i get home from school and cry about it? why do i let his words affect me like this? maybe i’ll never know. but i will most certainly feel bad about myself for a few days :(

🍀🥳

🍀 favorite song? 🥳 least favorite song?

evil..........

my favorite song from tgwdlm is let it out. look joey richter's version of confrontation did something to my brain. join us and die comes in second because of jaime's vocals

from black friday is feast or famine. consumerist mob song?? frank pricely??? curt's shopper?? pLEASE

from nmt1 is snoozle town. i also really like jane's a car, but snoozle town is just too funny to me

from nmt2 is virginity rocks! very predictable i'm aware. but did you know that the day that sally met her boy she told everyone? everyone, yeah. neither played shy or even coy, too. and, uh, they told everyone. they sat on the beach. it was real cute, man. then sally removed the sequined dress from on top of her suit. uh, the boy leaned in, but sally crooned "leave room!" did you know that? did you? crazy, right? well just you wait until i tell you about tayl

from npmd it's either the summoning or just for once. i'm so tired of people ranking just for once so low on their tier lists i know it was probably a tough choice but it's just for once!! do you not see the tragedy in a severely bullied high school girl with raging self image issues singing (on an empty stage, because she's too scared in front of other people) through the disguise of a character in a play about how she wants to live a good enough life to have a mid-life crisis??? i know it's a change in tone but we also do have the whiplash of as cool as i think i am (reprise) right after the summoning. why don't you care about her pouring her heart out as you do pete :( she's not even asking for that much. pete wants to be cool, but all she wants is to live

least favorite song.... uh.. young at heart probably. icky vibes

Thinking about how messed up Splinter's backstory is in rise. Especially his relationship with Big Mama, I feel like we don't acknowledge the fact that Splinter was literally in an abusive relationship enough in this fandom. Like he loved this woman so much that he was willing to spend the rest of his life with her and she turned around and forced him into a literal death fighting ring for ten whole freaking years and at the end of it he was so done with it all that he was willing to accept the proposition of being experimented on as long as he didn't have to fight anything.

How did Big Mama treat him while he was fighting for ten years? Did she still treat him all lovey-dovey as she talks to him in the future using pet names? Was she more violent with him? How much manipulation did Splinter go through?

All of that on top of his whole childhood of constantly being told to sacrifice his life to prevent some old tale he didn't even believe in as well as constantly training, and that's not even talking about the whole situation with his mother.

Not to mention the fact that he was literally mutated into a rat as a Japanese man which is probably the worst thing a Japanese man could be mutated into. Also him needing to shun himself and his newly acquired sons out of society for his and their safety immediately after finally getting out of the death ring after ten years. (Seriously, ten years. That is such a long time, that is 3 years shorter than Mikey's entire life at the start of the series.) And especially the fact that after being in the Battle Nexus for ten years (Seriously, he missed so much, he missed multiple presidents, the Y2K panic, the 9/11 attack, and the fricking turn of the millennia.) he immediately gets thrown into Parenthood (Of FOUR children, might I add.) and having to survive off the streets.

Splinter's definitely not the best parent (pretty neglectful as the got older not going to lie) but looking at all the stuff that's happened to him yeah pretty much explains why he's that way, he's very depressed and probably has PTSD.

Man, I started ranting there. But Splinter is just such an interesting character in Rise, I'd say one of the most interesting takes on his character throughout the TMNT series (don't get me wrong there are plenty of other good ones) and I feel like it's talked about, but rarely truly acknowledged within this fandom.
