Zionists want you to conflate Judaism and Zionism. Zionists want you to believe that Judaism cannot exist without Zionism and that all Jews are Zionists. Zionism would have Jews believe that a Jewish state is the only way that they can be safe from antisemitism and will point to any instance of antisemitism as proof that Zionism is the solution- so Zionism wants gentiles to be antisemitic in their support of Palestine. They want you to conflate all Jews with Zionism and the state of Israel, and they want you to treat all Jews regardless of political affiliation as the face of Israel. Antizionist Jews exist, and incidences of antisemitism ostensibly acting against Zionism will not help dismantle the forces propping Zionism up.

Don't do their work for them.

So Henry Hopclap has an immunity to Lightning right now (and that makes sense for a guy who works with arcano-tech all day) but it just got me thinking

What kind of Sorcerer is Jace?

Could he be a Storm Sorcerer? What about a blue origin Dragon Soul?

If so, Jace might have vastly overestimated his power in comparison to the younger teacher

The month is almost over and ASTV is still living in my head rent free and dictating my entire personality.

Iruma-kun, the Six Fingers and Humanity

I have been mulling over this idea for days as I devoured the Iruma-kun anime then manga and am still struggling to articulate it. The best I can boil down to is the whole goal of the Six Fingers and the return to origins is, unbeknownst to them, a desire to become more human.

I can understand, in a way, their frustration. Demons used to be merciless killers, where the strong surpassed the weak and magic, aggression and power won the day. Now we see they have idol concerts and theme parks and silly games to help demons safely purge their “wickedness” which is, in reality just another part of their nature. The majority of modern day demons deny a large part of themselves. The whole idea of a wicked cycle is endlessly fascinating to me, like this species has compartmentalized themselves so much that their pent up darker impulses periodically spring out and require them to be handled gently or hidden away. I can see how this practice is insulting and incredibly restrictive of what a demon is.

Now, right from the start, Iruma has stood out in the demon world for a few reasons. First and most obviously, he lacks any practical or cultural knowledge of demonic society. We see Iruma ignorantly stride past social norms and boundaries he didn’t even know existed. If it weren’t for his upbeat, people pleasing attitude he’d be written off as a delinquent but instead he helps foster an environment of change in a bunch of slackers and misguided students. And change is a radical concept in a society that hasn’t replaced the demon king in centuries since the old one disappeared. The effect of Iruma’s very presence, his enthusiasm and attitude and cooperative abilities can be seen so strongly on the Misfit class that its no wonder he’s become such a stand out student.

So I had heard of Irumean when I first started the series and had high expectations of him being a full on bastard. And he simply wasn’t. He was arrogant, reckless, rude at the worst but even those around him commented that his innate, unnatural kindness was still there. I argue because Irumean was never a true wicked cycle. It was Ali-san’s attempt to induce a demonic ritual onto him. But humans aren’t like demons, Iruma is a good, kind, patient boy due to his trauma and strength of character. At any point he could lash out in the most horrific fashion and leave everyone stunned because he is not bound such such strict rules of personality and conduct. His humanity is as much a strength as it is a weakness.

So according to recent chapters, Iruma has traces of Delkira’s energy. My first thought was that it was emanating from Ali-san, which is a distinct possibility but why was the ring attracted to Iruma in the first place? My next theory is that Delkira had some connection to humans as well. Either he’s a hafling or a demonized human or spent a significant amount of time in the human world. Either way, this human perspective is what made him so powerful, such an irreplaceable leader that his throne has remained empty for so long. One could even argue that the energy that the Six Fingers identify as ‘Delkira’ is actually just ‘human’ since the King’s energy is familiar while a human’s is not.

My whole round about point I’m doing a very poor job of explaining essentially boils down to, demons want to return to their origins to have more control over their baser instincts. Instincts and free will that humans, such as Iruma, possess naturally. But while Iruma has the capability for great evil, unrestrained by a set cycle, he also has such an overflowing well of love in him. Delkira, what little we’ve seen of him comes across as brash, fickle and cruel. You may note those are human traits as well. But Iruma also leads with kindness, dedication and teamwork. He will make a marvelous King because the humanity he brings to the table will help all of demonkind.

I do believe as the manga progresses we will see Iruma’s humanity become a  game changer in the battle against the Six Fingers. How he sees the world (both human and demon), how he interacts and inspires others, how he fights. Reaching a point where not only does Iruma stand up for himself but he is forced to cause harm (and by consequence addressing his people pleasing trauma) and behave in a manner not seen by demons outside of their wicked cycle. When he does, years down the road, become King, I believe he will address the concerns of factions like the Six Fingers. Demons are not meant to be fully contained but cannot be allowed to run rampant. With his feet in both worlds, I believe he will be able to balance both opposing views and ‘heal’ the underworld as the prophecy states. Not just from the instability of the Six Fingers but from this bizarre evolutionary cycle demons have fallen into over the centuries.

I'd make your life hell just like you did mine without any sliver of remorse

[percabeth4life]

help, I saw someone say that will would kill percy (let's see, who canonically can't fight and who is the son of POSIDEN?) if he percy wanted to throw wonderbread at nico. PERCY ONLY THOUGHT IT! ITS A NON SERIOUS THOUGHT IN A EXTREMELY STRESSFUL SITUATION! ARE WE NOT ALLOWED TO THINK RANDOMLY ANYMORE? ITS A THROW AWAY LINE, PERCY DIDNT THROW SHIT.

"oh Jason is besties with nico" he was vaguely decent after the cupid thing. AFTER. before that, who was the one that defended nico for years and years after nico was ... not toxic but not besties... to percy?? Percy literally took on the weight of the prophecy for that kid. it was a single, joking thought.

I will forever be pro-Percy Jackson

Oh bestie I'm pretty sure you saw the post that inspired my posts due to the sheer incomprehensible rage it inspires. Like- sorry Percy has a right to cope with his situation with whatever thoughts he has. And Gods it's *bread*, it's fucking *bread*. Even if he had thrown it what's that gonna do beyond draw Nico's attention??? It's BREAD

Jason literally suggested leaving Nico to die but you don't see people talking about that, no they like to focus on Percy not immediately jumping to Nico's defense because he had complicated thoughts, or him thinking about throwing a piece of bread at Nico to get him to shut up when he's right next to people who want him dead.

Thinking a lot of an scenario, probably after war, since that most likely was the most psychologically taxing, or even after everything was done, where Pep's adrenaline finally goes down and he just breaks down due to the fucking stress and all the horrors hehehoho 🥰

The worst part of pursuing a degree in the humanities is that people just won't let you be sad or stressed about it.

especially when you go to a competitive university. "are you crying about how many essays you have to write :(((???? oh that's so sad BUT I HAVE 50 LABS AND EXAMS!!! YOU HAVE IT EASY!! I DON'T!!!"

like i get it, you didn't choose your passions or happiness and i did and my degree has less academic weight than yours.

but please, don't add salt to the wound and tell me that everything's easy for me because all i have to do is "read and write". one of these days, i'm actually going to just punch someone in the jugular if they tell me i have no reason to be stressed.

[orcelito]

Been reading too much fic for someone who's on a self-imposes time limit for writing

In my defense though, it's been an odd couple of days

So IM the bad guy for refusing to coddle my 40 something year old manchild uncle who has no emotional maturity and freaks the fuck out anytime something doesn't go 100% his way
