oh also at the berlinale the berlin film festival a documentary called "no other land" won which is an israeli-palestinian co-production about a man named basel adra in the occupied west bank and his life under apartheid. i'm very surprised they even let this one win in the first place tbh. anyway the israeli filmmaker and journalist yuval abraham who in his accepting speech criticized the apartheid and that even tho he and basel only live 30 minutes apart they both lead extremely different lives is now getting death threats. the berlin mayor, who is not jewish by the way, said what he said in his speech was "anti-semitic." a german non jewish politician called a jewish israeli man anti-semitic for calling for equal rights. yuval abraham sadly is part of a minority though and he is going back to israel tomorrow i think, i very much hope he will be safe after his return. israeli jews who have been outspoken about the oppression have fallen victims of their own society themselves way too many times. i dont know how many times i've said i cannot believe it but i simply really just cannot believe the absolute shit show this world is.

I read your new fic this morning and immediately forgot about it but i just remembered and am feeling very bad now very very bad.
THAT SURE IS THE FEELING HUH. very honored to have achieved "i thought about this a few hours after reading it and got physically sick" status. thank u 🥰
using this testimonial to plug the fic: it will make you feel very bad very very bad.
the premise: AU where luz has been raised as a princess by belos from a young age, this fic involves him telling her about the grimwalkers through some hands-on murder demonstrations. and it also involves her relationship with hunter. and her relationship with the need to rationalize that belos is not a bad parent.
while writing it i was like "this is.... among the worst things i've written. everything about this is so viscerally fucking awful" but then was like "well, i Always think that during the writing process, and then the story ends up not that bad." but this one i reread with fresh eyes just now and i'm like. OH. OH GOD.

I want to be someone who has smart and interesting things to say about shows/movies that I like - like when I tried to convince my friends that they really need to watch Leverage. that would have been useful! instead I'm just like 'it's sooo good I like it so much I love all the characters they're all so awesome 🥰'
my thoughts are generally just like.
ooh he soo prettyyy. I want to braid his hair. hehe he punched someone. look at his lil face 🥰 baby boi. pretty smile his mouth is so nice I like his teeth. chest hair. hands! arms arms arms 🤤 his eyes are so pretty. oooh blood on his face, blood on his face! he's growling. annd his voice is all raspy again. I wonder [many many redacted thoughts]. ooh now he's in danger oh noo 😏
there's a bunch of 'she's so pretty' and 'I love her' somewhere in between all that too but mostly it's just. very, very stupid

woah woah woah yuri you're still alive????
haha what happened you may ask??? well, life just gave me hell and decided that today. TODAY, was gonna top it off with the biggest disaster so far!!!!!
i literally just wanted to have ONE day off after my bday, but the next morning my computer wouldn't work! which was fantastic because literally every single one of my wips/ finished not posted works/ digital art was on there so i stressed. the FUCK. out
it's fixed now ofc and THANKFULLY nothing was lost except the artworks that weren't autosaved that day! (which- yknow, sucks, but there was worse at stake before :'D) after me bEGGING my dad to help me with the problem
except it's NOT OVER yet!!!!
sai's settings and brushes reseted for some reason and my absolute fav custom brushes were gone! so with me trying to recreate them then loosing them all over because they just wouldn't be SAVED OMG and me going for a trip to my uncle's small town and watching the leftover day offs i had dwindle so goshdarn fast i was feeling so sO drained-
and wanna know the funniest thing??? when i come back home ready to post art and FINALLY rant about this what happens?? no wifi :DDDD
prioritizing the water and electricity bills first, i got to work and drew everyday to make it up for you guys and look at that! i have good and horrible news!
so SURPRISE! since you guys have been SO patient with me (thank you all :'D), i will say that i have a LOT of finished works to post! all ranging from 1 animated gif, 9 artworks, 1 illustration that's part of a little prompt idea i came up with (1 done and 4 left)
technically, i have 2 pieces finished and 3 wips for the remaining days of fnk week and 2 new ocs!!!! (and redraws of 4 older ocs, 2 of which are ready to post)
as for the worse news... man. i'm barely hanging here but woo i broke my tablet's pen and it's charging wire!! (i literally don't know how but it got separated from it's body while it was in it and i can't i can't even)
i am so so broken right now- i was so happy to update yesterday and reblog stuff since i finally got wifi again and- man it feels like i'm making this shit up but oh my god i wanna cry
i guess i could post everything i had the chance to draw before but gosh i'm so sorry but i can't promise more art after i announce which one was the last in stock- (at least until i get enough money to buy a replacement for them both)
i know i suck at communicating if i'm alive and just having a hard time but i swear this year was really rough on me and my health in general so i hope you guys can understand :'(
