Uhm…so. Hey!

Some might still remember me somehow but most don’t I think.

I have left this hellish site like 6 or 7 years ago. Just never logged back in. But recently I thought why not go check on good old tumblr…see what’s going on here now. If anybody could give me a small summary what happend while I was gone that would be appreciated

So what I’ve been up to?

A lot. Not much. Some things changed for the better some things are really crap.

Survived the pandemic unharmed,gained a shit ton of new pets (lizards and tarantulas mostly)

Started a tattoo apprenticeship in September 2022 and I couldn’t be happier about that.

My mentor is awesome and my fellow co workers are great,too. It’s a very respectful and welcoming environment and I’m glad that worked out for me.

Also my beloved dog Beetlejuice died of cancer in September 23 and that event was so traumatic I think it altered something in me.

I have since then adopted another dog from Romania.

Her name is Mina and she’s a chaotic little rascal but I’m starting to love her dearly, even if we had a rough start.

That is basically all that went down in the past years. Well more or less.

Ik everyone sees Germany as the kind of guy who has big dogs, I mean he does have a Doberman, a German Shepherd, and a Hovawert in canon. And I honestly don't blame yall. But PLEASE!! Just once, imagine him with one of those small dogs who yips a shit ton. Imagine tall, tough Mr. Germany with an itty bitty lil pomeranian in his arms, or a little chihuahua nipping at his heels.

I don’t have any specific/detailed hcs but just know Veneziano is the kinky one in the relationship and Germany is just open to whatever the fuck his partner wants to try next

eastern bloc gal here. I get what you mean (I'm atheist and about as spiritual as a rock so this is a wildly different perspective) but I did feel like I was missing a bunch of cultural references because my parents weren't willing to teach me any of it. so I chose to go to a religious school (on purpose. out of my own free will) and boy was it a mistake. So many bigotted people (not everyone ofc but the outstanding majority) with the vilest takes you've ever heard, and I swear even I'm more familiar with the Bible than some of them, they just parrot things back that no one has ever said. and overall they're not even the majority but they're getting louder and somehow the whole country has this image of a good Christian country while almost half the population isn't even religious. I think this turned into a rant. I AM SORRY feel free to ignore

Noo don't apologize this is so real!! My parents sent me to a fucking evangelical elementary school—not because they're religious but bc all the state schools had a reputation for lacking teachers back in the late 00s. That evangelical school was right next to an 800yo church and I thought the building was really cool! But in over four years of attendance, bible study and church assembly I never even *remotely* vibed with the religion because I couldn't take anything away from it. They took all the holidays I loved and removed the best ("heathen") parts and also said that Pokémon is Satan's work. Lol. Way to turn kids away from your faith I guess.

Lacking that sort of cultural touchstone because your parents aren't connected to it because your grandparents never taught them because your great-grandparents abandoned it is kinda weird. Like being brought up irreligiously is great but in the end you're still "culturally Christian" and the actual Christians in your country suddenly expect you to stick up for that shit?? They start talking about Christian values like it's supposed to be a big part of your national identity and yeah then some loud (sometimes even regional) minority says that certain women shouldn't be allowed to cover their hair because I guess that's only cool when Christian nuns do it. Idk man the whiplash is crazy. Almost as crazy as ppl claiming that a whole nation is defined by a thinning religion lmao

Guys, guys, GUYS! (gender neutral)

There is this new movie on Netflix, Runs In The Family (2023). GO WATCH IT.

It's a South African dramedy about a transgender boy and his single father who go on a road trip to break his birthmother out of a hospital. Then the protagonist's drag partner hurts their foot, and THE FATHER JUMPS IN AND DOES A DUAL DRAG NUMBER WITH HIS SON.

It's this beautifully messy family story, with a wonderful father-son relationship at its heart. From South Africa. Also, it's in English, you don't even need subtitles.

Feels like something Tumblr would appreciate.

The Devil's Grandmother After A Rejuvenation Cure

[layzeal]

everyday for the past two months it's been waking up in the morning to the most horrifying war crimes being committed by a fascist colonial power run by a death cult, followed by said power fabricating the most offensive and easily debunked lies to excuse said war crimes, then the entire fucking world media believing them and waving around their pathetic little crocodile tears as i pass by the news that the soldiers of that world power shot an old woman in the entrance of a hospital and used her as bait to shoot any medic who tried helping her, followed by a video of parents looking through the charred remains of children's limbs and scalps trying to recognize their own. and then i go to brazilian TV and find the news that a brazilian palestinian has finally been able to leave Gaza and all the reporters wanna focus on is how they're probably a terrorist because of these posts from 2015 where they condemn israel's actions. and then i look at the presidents of the only few nations who have the power to stop this genocide with a single phone call and how they entirely refuse to do shit about it, just to be told on tumblr dot com that praying for the dismantlement of the state of israel is evil and inconsiderate because don't you know they suffered really really badly in the past (but also please don't google the rates of poverty of holocaust survivors and how they're treated by the government of the country that was supposed to be a safe haven. well at least george from pennsylvania can move and have a beautiful view of the burned olive tress from the multigenerational house he stole in the west bank, and isn't THAT what really matters)
