Something I really don't understand is this obsession the anti-Israel crowd (in the West) have with death and martyrdom. All they care about is dying, and often killing for their cause; I see nothing about building a better future that isn't based on the murder of 9 million Israelis.
It's easy to die for a cause. The challenge is living to make a better tomorrow.
Amazing that Staged received Best Returning Comedy. But Anna and Georgia didn’t even acknowledge Best Comedy Partnership!
It’s like they only care about acknowledging the award for their contribution, not the award for their partner’s contribution?
In all of this I know Im reading too much into it. It seems like they’re adamant about removing the narrative about the men in their lives who earn the dosh because you know, they’re white (occasionally) cis men.
But does it not come across as toxic feminism when you deliberately try to ignore men’s achievements? When in fact they deserve the applause and awards?
Hi there! Well, in complete fairness, Georgia did share the video of her and David accepting the Best Comedy Partnership Award (and AL subsequently re-shared it from Georgia as an Insta story):
And I think Georgia was being a good sport with the Michael Sheen cardboard cutout (as it was an obvious callback to them doing this very same thing when Michael and David won this award in 2021).
What I'm really fascinated by, though, is everything that has followed this, including this bizarre back-and-forth between Georgia and Anna in their Insta stories:
I'm not even fully sure what is happening here, but it seems like another attempt on Anna and Georgia's part at being "flirty"/suggestive like Michael and David, but not managing to come even remotely close to them. "Needy" also seems to be Georgia's new favorite phrase, as she previously called Ty that on one of her posts, and while a case could be made for it to be some sort of mother/son banter there, I'm having a difficult time not seeing it as a read here.
And then for Anna to double-down and re-share that and actually call herself "greedy"? I guess she's trying to cover all of the seven deadly sins, since we've already had vanity (pride), so now it's time for greed. The problem is, all of the above with Georgia comes across as so forced and fake, and nothing like the genuine, natural warmth and affection and attraction that exists between Michael and David.
All of this then culminated in Georgia sharing one of AL's photo shoot pictures to another Insta story, with the hashtag #mywife:
Obviously, this immediately calls to mind the multiple instances of Georgia calling David Michael's "other wife" for the last three years (and David now saying it himself as well). But where it seems like that nickname came about as a result of people seeing that powerful connection between Michael and David and Georgia not being able to ignore it and therefore choosing to acknowledge it in her own way, I get the sense that that is not the case for this hashtag.
It also does not escape my or other people's notice that all this happened today right when the I Talk Telly awards were announced, nor that it just feels so completely planned. It feel self-congratulatory, as if this was meant for Georgia and AL to congratulate themselves primarily (again echoes of "They're everything...and they're just Ken"). And while I'm not sure I would categorize it as "toxic feminism," it strikes me as strange that there is this repeated need to seemingly put Michael and David down in order for AL and Georgia to lift themselves up.
Again, could I be completely wrong here? Absolutely. But it just seems like there is too much strangeness here to overlook...

Here is my translation of Sebek Zigvolt’s voice lines for his Dorm Uniform card.
Spoilers below the cut!
Summon Lines
⚡: Take heed! This is the power of Diasomnia!
⚡: Ah, how long I have been training for this day. I shall be sure to demonstrate my power to the fullest extent!
Home Lines
⚡: I shan't disappoint.
⚡: Don’t get ahead of yourself simply because the young Lord has taken a liking to Ramshackle Dorm... No, I am not jealous of you!!!
⚡: Diasomnia is a fun and friendly dorm! ….Sir Lilia told me to go ‘round and “hype up” our dorm by saying that…
⚡: I'm truly elated to be in the same dorm as our Lord! Well, even if that weren't the case, I’d planned to go live in Diasomnia's courtyard...
⚡: 'Tis only appropriate for Diasomnia to be the top dorm at this school, for we are governed by none other than the great Lord Malleus himself! All should prostrate themselves before us!
⚡: Arrgh... I eat and I eat, and yet my hunger is never satiated… Even you and Grim are starting to look appetizing.
⚡: How to know what clothing suits you? I'm not really sure... I simply wear whatever has been provisioned to me.
⚡: Oh, how noble is the sight of the young Lord adorned in his dorm uniform! I can hardly fix my gaze upon him, how brilliantly he shines!
⚡: From what I’ve heard, the horns on our dorm hats resemble those of the Thorn Fairy. Our Lord, who already naturally possesses a most splendid set of horns, has his own special hat that slightly differs from ours.
⚡: Our Lord and Sir Lilia share an incredibly deep bond between them. Oh, if only I’d been born earlier...! …Ah, never mind. There’s no use even trying to imagine that, I suppose.
⚡: I loathe whining. Hardship is the best form of nourishment there is. No pain, no gain!
⚡: Judging by that look upon your face… you’ve come to beg for some tales of Lord Malleus’s heroics, have you not? Excellent!! Here’s a story I heard when I was but a child…
Groovy
⚡: I wonder, what does it mean to be a reliable servant? Perchance I shall find my answer while here at this school.
Duo Lines
⚡: You’ve no business here, Silver!
⚔️: Sebek, don’t overdo it!
You can listen to his voice lines here, starting at the 19:26 mark (I couldn't find a vid with just the voice lines):
youtube
And his Duo lines here (the boss fight in this clip contains spoilers for Book 3):
Seeing the drama rise in Hazbin cuz people like problomatic characters is reminding me why I distanced myself from this fandom to begin with
(I was gonna put this in the tags but not everyone reads them, and to avoid getting those types of anons again when I was in Hazbin/Zoophobia I'm going to clarify what should be obvious: Liking/drawing a problomatic character in a show or movie does not mean you stand by their actions or beliefs)
I’m scared for the kids who might unknowingly buy the Harry Potter game or the books or the movies without knowing what’s going on. We need to ACTUALLY ban this franchise. Burn copies in stores. Smash your friend’s computer if you have to. I don’t know why we’re simply telling people to “read other books” and not going full scorched earth. There’s children out there who could be entrapped into this thing and not know until it’s too late…(It’s not censorship because it’s actually bad. Only minorities should be allowed to censor things because we know best.)
Kim Dokja actually Yoo Joonghyuk in disguise, that's why though the fandom raged and Raged about Kim Dokja and His Sad Ending, No One Could Find the real reincarnated Kim Dokja on Earth! - Uriel
Okay, so I put some thought into it and imma say that Fuse anniversary present to Hound was a song that he wrote for them, and right before he started playing it Hound stopped him and said they got him something too. He opens the case and lets out a “manly” scream and thanks Hound in a slightly teary voice while hugging them and putting kisses all over their face.
I know some ppl in the BUCCHIGIRI?! community would disagree with me (or jump on me as a worst case scenario) but…
I truly feel sorry for Jabashiri as a whole cuz way back in Episode 2, he was kind of setup to be Matakara’s bitter and unequal rival.
I mean look at his design:
And then you compare it to Matakara’s:
Right there, you can see the obvious differences:
Design:
- Jabashiri has short blue hair and Matakara’s has orange-brown short but fluffy hair.
- Jabashiri wears his piercings on his left ear while Matakara wore his on the right.
Personality:
- Jabashiri likes to revel in violence but deep down, he has shown to have a honorable and caring side of him if him going up against a nameless Minato Kai grunt is of any indication after he and everyone else assumed that the latter group was responsible for Outa’s injury (when in actuality it was NG Boys) whereas Matakara is a caring and honorable person upfront but won’t hesitate to use violence.
- How both reacted to the truth of NG Boys being behind the Gang Wars: Matakara noticed Zabu being distressed and after the latter revealed that he recklessly challenged Akutaro, Matakara doesn’t blame Zabu at all and set out to confront the root of the problem itself. Jabashiri on the other hand was unaware of the truth and went ahead with the Gang War until Arajin brought in the NG Boys and both he and all of the gang members involved in it are shown the truth.
I can’t find anything they have in common other than having older brothers (Jabashiri’s bio reveals that he has a mum, dad and big brother) but we don’t know anything about Jabashiri’s relationship with his older brother while we are shown some aspects of Matakara’s relationship with Mitsukuni (whether or not Matakara is idealizing Mitsukuni and the latter is not how the former think he is would be another situation altogether)
I know it’s not a whole lot but long story short: I wish that Jabashiri and Matakara should’ve been each other’s foils.
Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk on why the writers sort of failed to capitalise and invest on this rivalry.
