No because people will say this is the worst world cup ever due to humans rights abuses but will also watch every game and talk publically in positive ways about it, and every other sporting event. And also won't donate to people, or support their own communities, or lift the voices of marginalized people who are actually directly impacted....
no fr!! i was so surprised bc like this entire year everyone on my dash was like "oh we're boycotting the wc" and now everyone and their mum is watching it? what happened to the boycott?
also, related: on one hand it's good that people are so willing to speak on human rights abuses n shit but on the other, where the fuck is this energy when international sporting events are held in western countries that ALSO have horrifying human rights abuses? why is it only a few people speaking out then, instead of mass outrage? i've seen this shit in f1 fandom too, everyone's so quick to say there shouldn't be any middle eastern or russian or chinese races, but will happily have three races in the usa, races in canada and uk and france and... you get it. make it make sense?
and why is it that the only outrage i'm seeing is over the rainbow armbands? i'm not saying that's not an issue but. where was this energy when it was south asian immigrants who were abused for this wc to happen. why does no one talk abt the brown people who suffered for this?
all i've seen is lazy internet activism for causes that westerners care about. and even then the double standards are so infuriating. if you want to watch football just fucking watch football man don't pretend to care abt human rights abuses or act like you're morally untouchable. especially if you're not bringing this same energy and outrage and criticism to international sporting events held in western countries. i genuinely think a lot of this is just virtue signaling, and thinly veiled islamophobia wrapped up in a pretty "but we're just Fighting For The Gays" bow. i doubt a rainbow armband is going to help any queer person in that region or actually change any law. it's actually just going to make shit worse because let me tell you (anecdotally) WHOO BOY the rise in homophobia in the region ever since the wc started? horrifying. this is not europe or the usa or whatever. your ways of doing things will not fucking work, and you get to just switch off your tv or fly back to your country when this is all over. meanwhile actual queer people in the region are stuck with the increase in homophobic rhetoric and the potential danger to their safety. actual brown people have to watch you all ignore what our brothers went through except for when it makes you look better on the internet.
it's fucking nauseating tbh when i see westerners going like "BUT THE HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES!" while staying silent on the shit that goes on in their own countries. yall dont get a pass for being usamerican or european. the fucking hypocrisy smh.

Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche
ive been wanting to make fanart for mothy's seven deadly sins series for a while and now i'm finally taking the dive. so the next few posts will be completing these series of illustrations of the characters :) started off with rin's character cuz i feel like the daughter/servant of evil is where a lot of us got introduced to evillious chronicles hehe
excited to see the little collection all come together and i hope you are too
~~
by the way!!!!
5 people have indicated on a poll that they would be interested in coloring pages of my art, and i thought i'd do just that! at least as a little test. so here are some lineart files of the piece~
psd file - should be compatible with photoshop and ibispaintx definitely. probably compatible with other programs like csp but i haven't checked 😅
procreate file - procreate throws a fit when you try to import psds so i had to make it separate just in case 🫠
this is the first time officially releasing these so im not sure how to go about it?? again it's sort of a test, i'll figure things out.
just be aware that the lineart is more gritty/textured so filling colors with a bucket tool might be a little wonky.. but i'm sure that's fine
some terms when using these coloring pages :)
don't remove or obscure the watermark. you can move it, but make sure it's visible in some way
when posting, make sure to credit me (mayordoi) for the lineart
if you post on tumblr or instagram, tag me or let me know somehow cuz i wanna see em!!
again not fully sure if there's a big audience for these but i like the idea of coloring pages so why not release my own!
and yes the rest of the sin characters will also have coloring pages released in a similar style :]

What’s Mine Is Yours — part two
⋆.ೃ࿔*:・pairing: kylian mbappé x reader
⋆.ೃ࿔*:・synopsis: kylian is a lovesick fool, so when his girlfriend comes to him ranting about a trip she can't afford, what is a man to do but help?
⋆.ೃ࿔*:・cw: none. fluff.
⋆.ೃ࿔*:・authors notes: ive been so busy with assignments i havent found the time to write and i also had to deal with writer's block but im back for now. anyways, do you guys think i should include other boys in this series or would you guys prefer i only write about kylian for this short series and make a completely new series?
It was often at times, Kylian found himself a lovesick fool. Strung by her intoxicating scent, her enchanting smiles and her hypnotic gaze. It was her enticement and tender affection for him only, that made him a fool.
For her, he would do anything. She could have anything she wanted— his heart, his soul, his everything.
If there were something her gaze lingered on, she would have. If there was something that curled her lips upwards, it was hers.
While he elevated her status, Kylian liked to believe that she changed his stance on life. There was more to life than the football that stilled under the heel of his boot.
“Kylian!” (name’s) hearty voice channelled through the long hallways of Kylian’s home, and into his gaming room.
Peeling off his headset, Kylian swivelled in his chair, his controller fumbling onto his lap. He rolled away from his desk and jeered his head towards his door.
He rubbed his forehead, his eyebrow raised and watched his door as (name’s) loud footsteps tattered across his hardwood floors. Her faint shadow glinted underneath Kylian’s door before it pushed open.
The door creaked and groaned, now slightly ajar as (name) peeked her head through. Her eyes scanned across the floor and then the walls before they fixed on Kylian. She squeezed through the doorway, her pink iPad propped against her chest and scampered towards him, propping herself onto his lap.
Grinning from ear to ear, (name) peered at her boyfriend with a buoyant glint in her eyes whilst Kylian peered down at her inquisitively.
“Look,” (name) began. She tore her iPad away from her chest and padded her fingers against the screen. It blinked open– her lock screen, a picture of her and her sister before she swiped and urgently padded in her password. Another blink passed, and a white screen glared back up at them.
“Bikinis?” Kylian spoke slowly as he stared at the screen below him. He raised his arm and inched it towards (name’s) iPad. His hand swept through the screen, as colours of red, white, pink and gold flashed through the reflection of his eyes. “Pourquoi regardes-tu des bikinis?” (Why are you looking at bikinis?)
(name) frowned. “I’m planning on going on vacation, remember? I told you this weeks ago!”
“Avec qui?” (With who?) Kylian’s gaze kept to (name’s) iPad as he padded through her shopping basket. He examined the clothes he knew she had chosen carefully: a couple of bikinis, a sarong and a cover-up dress.
“With the girls. Who else would I go with?” (name) tutted sharply at Kylian, rolling her eyes.
“Ne roulez pas des yeux.” (Don’t roll your eyes.) Kylian scolded, he lifted his hand from her iPad and pinched her cheek.
“Ow!” Feigning a look plagued with pain, (name) clung her hand around Kylian’s wrist and tugged at his hand.
“Tu ne m'avez pas dit où vous alliez?” (You haven't told me where you’re going?) Kylian asked quietly. He was well aware of where (name) and her friends were planning to go, he just liked the sound of her voice when she said it.
Kylian stared at (name) closely as she scrunched up her nose and fidgeted in his lap. She chewed on her bottom lip and tapped her nails against the screen of her iPad, replying. “The Bahamas.”
“Avez-vous déjà réservé un hôtel?” (Have you booked a hotel yet?)
(name) shook her head. “Yes— no.”
“Pourquoi pas?” (Why not?)
Letting out a heavy breath, (name) dropped her shoulders. She pressed her back into Kylian’s chest and peered at him, crestfallen. “Les chambres d'hôtel sont très chères ailleurs. Et nous sommes quatre.” (Hotel rooms are very expensive over there. And there’s four of us.)
“Avez-vous acheté des billets d'avion?” (Well, have you bought any plane tickets?) Kylian queried gently.
“No,” (name) huffed, shaking her head. “Not yet.”
She leered down at her iPad propped against her hand and stared blankly at the bright screen glaring back at her. In her mind, she envisioned herself in the Bahamas, surrounded by her closest friends singing, laughing and dancing, anywhere and everywhere with a wardrobe to match.
Kylian eyed his girlfriend’s sullen face carefully as her fingers slivered to stroke the ridges of her iPad. No more was his video game his focus because now, his care shifted onto (name).
The twilight blue sky stood bathed in warm and pure light as the sand, a gentle hue of gold, stretched alongside the seabed. Waves laced across the ocean in a steady rhythm, breathing in the salt brine air.
Their laughter was so free and pure, and so childish despite their adult years. It came to ears as a flutter and bounce— filled with joy.
No more did the sullen feeling of defeat pollute their hearts. Nor did the anxiety of the unknown plague their minds.
The friends, untroubled, ran, skipped and cartwheeled across the beach floor before charging towards the open sea. They swam, weightless above the gentle tide, splashing and squealing like little school girls before returning to shore.
They stumbled back towards their canopy, drenched in saltwater and reclined under the shade. In arms, their fingers tightly intertwined, they lay on top of one another whistling chants and stories before their joyous gazes succumbed to slumber. One by one they fell, under the gleam of the Caribbean sun, into the jaws of dreamland.

no bc im not usually involved w stuff like this and believe everyone should be held accountable for their actions no matter what. but seeing the way quackity has been seen as non human, any emotion or misstep he has being seen as manipulative or fake is like crazy. i don’t understand how people don’t see like wait, your actually just being racist you are not capable of seeing him as a person, why? it feels like he really could’ve handled this perfectly and there still would be this large crowd regarding him as a heartless fraud??
truly. i have closely observed this situation and listened to both sides and theres a lot of different opinions that can co exist and theres a lot of complexity to them.
one particular thing that has bothered me and made me uncomfortable is the projection of quackity as this scheming conniving figure. its gross. him having to explain that hes had previous experiences like this where he keeps any sort of bad situation with another creator private and that in turn has made him perceived as more manipulative is so sad. and this isnt surprising obviously since this is something ive witnessed. but overall i think with the internet nowadays theres a large mindset that everything needs to be public information and shared with the audience while they preach to solve things in the dms. people only care for a show and to watch creators destroy themselves. thats what twitter is and what a lot of people actively strive to do on that platform. specifically in regards to leak communities.
everyone should be aware enough that theyre allowed to criticize quackity and the decisions he’s made that people may not agree with. he acknowledges that himself. but to paint him as anything other then human and someone who has deeply fucked up reaches that level where it is racism. i dont think many people quite realize micro aggressions when they see them. so theres that. and then theres obviously the extremes of the situation when it came to the doxxing and death threats. people actively celebrating and saying it surely is an okay thing to spread because well he fucked up right? hypocrisy. this goes the same way for any admin or worker involved the situation that has been sent and told the same.
this entire situation has proved to me that nobody knows how to properly handle anything or how to properly react to anything and choosing instead to immediately jump to those extremes mentioned in the name of activism and moral superiority.
anyways support the admins. listen to their stories. criticize media you consume in a constructive manner. call out xenophobia and racism when you see it. and treat people like the humans they are. they will all make mistakes each side has made a mistake. yes this also applies to the people in the community. think for more than a second before you post anything for fucks sake.
