#you are a BILIONAIRE

[just-an-enby-lemon]

I'm slowly rewatching Smallville and I think in episode two Lex just stoled an apple from the Kents? Like they were literally packing the apples to sell them and Lex just picked one without permission. And I mean is just an apple and I'm normally all in for people stealing basic necessities but Lex is a bilionaire why is he stealing apples? Go pay for it your little bourgeoisie trash.

i was eating some watermelon earlier and the juice was getting all over me (though they were only slightly bigger than bite sized pieces) anyway i was just thinking ... this would be a way better situation if kendall was here to lick it off of me and make a game of it

i think i've gone full delusion

[laroserie]

i love the idea of joining the batfam by dating bruce, but can you imagine how awkward it must be ?

like you are dating bruce, you most probably know he is batman (he couldn't date seriously someone and never tell them) which is like a huge thing, you probably knew each others for at least 5 years and dated for at least 2 before you even step foot in his house and even then ! you still have never meet any of his adopted kids, he always has a way of avoiding The meeting.

of course - you know who his kids are, bruce is ... literally the it guy of gotham, you very much know the names and faces of his family - but that's it (now if you know their vigilantes identities is different story)

the question is, are they aware of your existence ? (of course alfred is aware; that out of the question, he followed to development of yours and bruce relationship from a to z)

going more for a no, not at the start, bruce has this clumsy dumb bilionaire personality but he probably could not like for you to receive media attention because he doesn't wish for your privacy to be intruded upon because you are dating (now there may have been one instance where the paparazzi took a picture of you and him together, but they could only see you from the back, or your face wasn't visible for whatever reason). they probably learnt about your existence very late into your relationship with bruce, and it's surely by accident, like, one of them see a message from you to bruce (and it's something probably something very cheesy) when he left it somewhere by inadvertence. and depending on who see that, they either fully open bruce's phone (sorry but they all know his phone password, bruce isn't aware of that tho) and read your conversation or they find some others way to have access to his messages with you (that isn't so blatant).

they for sure, do an 'emergency' meeting about it (dick and damian were the two that really wanted to do one, the rest probably don't care that much at that time, they probably think you are just the fling of the month for bruce - well usually the fling of the month is not that ... cheesy with him ? in their messages, and the conversations aren't usually that long ... nor do they go back that much. but whatever ! they do suddenly notice that it's been a while, since, well the last fling of the month of bruce but, it must just be a coincidence) which end up with them keeping tabs on you, just in case

now, you meeting them could happen in two way

either they are the one to meet you first - they don't want to wait for bruce to formally introduce you to them - or them to you. the one that 'lead' this is for sure damian, he is determinate to find out your intention with his father (and fight you), dick will lie and say he is just there to make sure everything go 'well' but he is just genuinely very curious about you and the fact that you are dating bruce - this can go for most of them, tho cass and tim are probably the one that are the most reticent to meeting you ? but nevertheless, they still are here, because they for sure won't let damian and dick have all the 'fun'. now jason, is probably also coming for the shit and giggle.

or you meeting them could happen because of bruce - deciding that it's finally time you meet his kids, so he invite all of them to dinner telling them he was someone he wants them to meet, and telling you explicitly that he wants you to meet his family (and the people that are part of his family but aren't family family) - of course, he could talk about it with you first, he could never force you into that. the meet - dinner, probably do not go in the way bruce hoped for it to go (but truth be told, he wasn't expecting it to go the way he wished it did). it's not awful, nothing bad happen. it's just awkward. one of them (probably jason) let slip that they already knew about you - damian make it very clear that he doesn't accept you (and dick has to try to diffuse the situation and tell you that damian is just joking - damian is not joking and he gives a death glare to dick), tim probably do not say anything of half of the dinner before asking you a weird question about something he should have no information about (like what's up with one of your weird habit / quirk), cass is just silent - she assess you for the entirety of the dinner (she conclude by the end of it that you quite a nice person and that she likes you quite a bit), duke is very kind and is very polite with you (he is a bit apprehensive and isn't sure why he is there but he figures it's because bruce wanted to have at least one regular person treating you normally - dick is too ... enthusiastic for that role)

at the end of said dinner, when bruce is driving you home, it's probably the most silent ride home you have ever experienced. until you burst out laughing - the dinner was probably the funniest shit you experienced. it felt like it came straight out of a shitty tv show with 14 seasons. sure it was very much awkward but still funny ! you reassure bruce that it was fine, though you could have liked a warning.

and ... you can add a yandere twist on it, and i love yandere so ... . some of them (tim and cass and probably dick) could start developing yandere tendencies when they learn of your existence ( and keep 'tab on you' aka stalks you and learn everything they can about you ), the others (damian and jason + eventually steph and duke even though they are probably some of waaay lesser yandere-y yandere) could start becoming like that after they finally meet you in person. damian could be the one to take the most or less time to become attach on you, it depend, but he could go thru a big phase of 'i refuse for you to replace talia, my mother, therefor i will despite your entire existence' but if you try to get closer to him, this phase will end very soon and his barrier melt away, if you want to let him take his time to accept you, the result will be the same but damian will try to make up for the time he hated you.

and of course, yandere bruce could be so happy for you to like / get to know and get closer to his family, and that's one more way he can tie you to him !

Mint chip — how did they court their lover? + Bruce/Batman 😳🙏

mint chip — how did they court their lover?

⤷ with: bruce wayne

I actually can talk about it with proper knowledge because he's my husband. So much easier that way.

It will really depend on who you meet first. The whole flow of your relationship (either it's as friends, enemies, lovers), can be decided in minutos upon Bruce meeting you.

If you meet Bruce Wayne first, his whole playboy persona will be an important part of your first interactions.

If you're a reporter who can see through his act, than there would be a sense of a shared secret between you both. You made through one of his many masks, which brings you closer to the real person. In cases like that, his courting will be more honest. There is no need to pretend to be shallow.

He will watch over you, both as Bruce and Batman. He will watch you on the news, hear all your programs during work (it help him focus), read your articles. Then when he talks to you, he can talk about the things that matter to you. He will also watch recording the news whenever he know you're on a dangerous place. He will protect you from afair without you even knowing.

If you're someone from his friend circle, another bilionaire of Gotham, than he have this mask he won't let go. But even tho you had to deal with his act, there is some sense of belonging. Of understanding him. Bruce can pretend from whoever long he need, but there is no way to foolish a real friend.

You care about him. You can see how he apparently doesn't sleep. That he's always in pain somehow. And when Bruce understands that his act didn't fully confused you, then he knows he have someone caring for him. Someone able to look at him and call his bullshit out. Someone that will kick him off parties saying he needs to sleep or he will never see you again.

If that's the case, than Bruce will court you as most imagine. Flowers, caring for you during your day by day, showing his more possessive side during events. In some ways, Bruce will be trying to give all you care back to you.

Now as an enemy, that would be kind of dificult for the both of you. You two have diferences that can't be overlooked. There is a abysm between you both, and somehow that's what brings you closer to one another. There is a sense of understanding, of longing, that can only be shared by two enemies.

You both have secrets. Masks and more masks to protect yourselfs. Is he Bruce Wayne, the man that suffers and loses and pretends, or is he Batman, the thing that endure and change and pretend? Which one is the real one and which one the act? How could he ever come to an answer for that?

And you, the love he feels for you, will just make those questions harder to answer. When he fights with you, he would rather not hurt you. If he sees you, he would observe you for more reasons than just the public safety. When he has the chance of really stopping you, somehow he can't.

What every situation has in common is that Bruce will love from distance before getting close. He will protect you, you being able to do it for yourself or not. He may stay away out of distrust, to protect, to learn more about you: let's not forget, he's a vigilante but first he's a detective. Bruce will make sure that he understands you before doing something.

You may know just one side of him, but do you really? Because when you care about Bruce's sleep, you are caring for Batman's rest. When you care about Batman agressive choices, you're caring about Bruce's heart. When you try to understand one side of him, you are also trying to understand the other.

Either way, that will make Bruce care about you. And isn't his whole identity about caring for others? Isn't it what makes him get out of bed every single day? Bruce cares. He deeply, really cares. And if you're on the list of people he loves, then you will be safe. Not matter what it takes.

if you enjoyed, please reblog! i promise it makes a difference ♡

i love when the subject of modern au for the arcana comes up cause my only metric of judgement for it is What are you gonna do with Muriel. is he still. you know. practically homeless

cause it can be done well i believe it!! but i mean its interesting to me cause theres so many um. cultural differences i guess i can call it, and ramifications and implications and fucking more thesaurus words we get it to consider in comparing our "everyone has to have a document about *Everything*, whats your assigned number at birth, let me record you with 50 cameras at all times just in case, gimme your PapERS HOW OLD ARE YOU WHATS YOUR GRANDMAS MAIDEN NAME NO IM NOT SELLING YOU THIS CARTON OF EGGS UNTIL YOU TELL ME" society (Admittedly! not every single place in the world today is like this necessarily!!! so you can just put them someplace else and work from there!!! but youd have to know how life there actually looks like And also wait whats the point of this au if everything ends up the same lmao i wanted asra to have tiktok and work at starbucks what are we doing here) vs the old timey fantasy world presented in the game where its just "yeah sure you can go live in a forest theres no fences here lol bye dont get dysentery" which is how the world used to be i guess and thats so fun to ponder for me lol we really were just monkeys fucking about with sticks huh. good times

man this is why i dont actually write fanfics i get too lost in four different trains of thought and dont finish any of them lmao and i guess also cause of the "i Cant POSSIBLY write this story about kissing a dude if i cant describe the sociopolitical climate in this neighbourhood in the netherlands after the Batavian Rebellion and how it influenced the contemporaneous fauvistic arT MOVEMENT with UTMOST ACCURACY cause THATS WHAT HIS FAVOURITE PAINTING WAS THE ONE THAT SHOWS UP IN THIS THREE SECOND BLURRY BACKGROUND CLIP OF THIS SCENE IN HIS APARTMENT AND IS CRUCIAL TO HIS CHARACTER AND I HAVE TO NAIL IT WHAT DONT YOU GET" type personality i got going which i guess writers deal with by just going full "lol whatever i am god here and i make law" mode

i just started thinking about this cause of the new story on dorian in a modern au i got pretty hype about it teehee but yeah muriel hasnt shown up yet so i got into that whole spiral about wHERE ARE THEY GONNA PUT ME BOYE AAAGJHFN i hope he gets a good outfit lmao i love jules' vibe but i looked at asra n went aw Hell naw hed be way better dripped out you done my boy dirty cmon man. pashas hawaiian shirt tho fucking we're so back lets go lesbians hkdyyifulj Anyway they made lucio a wholeass bilionaire which had me shook a lil for some reason but i can see him as a total ~Musk-esque~ archetype lmaooo like that is literally so him, just barges in and makes people have good ideas for him gikgststnv oh god i hope theres not any elon fans reading this cause theyre not gonna appreciate that oh fudge ok lets get back to the point which was uuuuhhhhhhhhhh oh yeah i liked your muriel lives in a van concept i thought its good! yeah thats what i wanted to say. what a tumultuous journey i just had to invent to arrive here.

Oh yeah, I've been seeing a lot more posts and questions about the arcana's modern au, and it's why I was so happy to dig up all those old ask arcana posts! I'm so glad we have all that canon content from way back when, it was so sad that I could only put ten images in one post T~T

And Muriel definitely lives off the grid - I also remember another ask arcana that said in modern times he'd wear a cable knit sweater on top and leather pants and demonias on bottom and that works so well for him XD

Here's the screenshots since the links haven't been working:

The Arcana HC #17

Superhero MC - MC is basically like Batman in the sense that they are a billionaire phillanthropist at day and a superhero at night, but they have superpowers and are one of the strongest beings in the world.

MC has a very specific Zodiac tattoo on both shoulders, their hero suite hides that.

Asra - Cafe Owner

Nadia - Senator

Julian - Lead Biochemist At (L/N) Enterprise

Muriel - Hero

Portia - Celebrity Chef

Lucio - Mercenery

Asra, Muriel & Lucio have powers.

Asra is a witch that can use Tarot cards and some celestial magic.

Muriel is a Leshy - Forest Guardian Spirit from Slavick regions & Russia - so he can communicate with animals and has powers relating to the earth.

Lucio is like Danny Phantom - He has ghost powers.

None of the LI's know MC's secret identity or that they are a superhero at first.

Asra

You are one of the regulars at their cafe by day & Asra is somewhat of an informant to you every once in a while

Due to a cultist finally getting fed up with Asra's response to her cult, she decided to kidnap them, because she needs all magic using humans with her, so she manages to draw your attention.

Before you could return Asra to their shop, the leader manged to tell Asra who you were before they could complete the memory erase spell on her.

The next day you come for your morning drink theh discretely ask you to go to the back with them where they reveal that they know who you are.

They are now very nervous whenever you come around to the Cafe & gets more flustered when you tell them to relax.

They continue gathering information for you and decide that they should try to teach you some Celestial and Tarot Magic, you might eventually need it. After each magic lesson you both bond over some drinks.

They realise they like you but they don't want to make anything awkward between you both. They are pleasantly shocked when you admit to wanting to be more than friends.

You two have been caught by the press being lovey doevey which has increased customers for Asra, but that means you can only get any sort of peace is if you get out of down.

Nadia

Your company is global, so you have met her several times to discuss business ventures in Pakra. She occasionaly helps you come up with any projects.

Not a lot of people from Vesuvia like the idea of peace with other nations (*Cough*, Vulgura). One day at a peace meeting at your tower, Nadia was taken as a hostage. Luckily you have an easy way to quickly change and save Nadia.

Due to Vulgura destroying everything in her path Nadia did get injured, but you managed to get her to the emergency room of your tower, she found this suspisious.

She went through some video camera's with Natiqa and found out that you were the superhero that saved her. She decided to confront you about it and promised to keep your identity secret, & she felt a bit bad for pryining.

Knowing what she knows now, she realises that the signs were there & now she worries that she might accidently tell the rest of her family, she also gets Natiqa to promise you as well.

She decides that she will try to help you by coming up with any suggestions, critiques & stratagies that you could use when you're out saving the city or world. She also gets Natiqa, Nazali and Nahara to help since their her only siblings that aren't gossibs. Spending time with you has let you both become friends.

You both have gotten quite close in a short amount of time, so with the support (teasing) from Natiqa, she confesses.

You two eventually become an international sensation: Bilionaire Philantropist & Pakran Senator. This means you both have to try extremely hard to get away from people so you can have a normal date.

Julian

He is your lead biochemist, so he reports to you daily and since you both are close friends, you sometimes go drinking with Portia. He is also the one you bring any items you find on your mission to get him to analyse.

As a wealthy billionaire, it is pretty standard for people to want to rob you, this time villains, Vlastomil & Valdemar, try to steal a new formula Julian & crew are working on. Whuch meant he gets kidanpped again. Lucky you, for having security cameras to alert you.

You managed to beat up the two villains but because Valdemar used a secret weapon and stabbed your arm, your healing wasn't able to work fast enough, luckily Julian is qualified for this, but he had to take you to his lab and he saw your tattoo.

He decided to get you talking before he accidently reveals that he knows who you are.

This hasn't changed your relationshup, much. The only difference is that he worries about you more & tries to analyse whatever artifact you bring in. He has also informed Portia.

He decides that he will try to help you, by creating gear and designing a better outfit so that it doesn't tear easily. He also thinks it's fun hanging out more again in an unprofessional capacity.

After years of friendship and some teasing from Mazelinka & now Portia. You confess that you do indeed like each other after Portia spits it out that he loves you.

At night, when he's done with his actual job he helps you analyse any evidence or create and improve any tech you might need to make your "side-job" easier.

By morning, he and occasionally you get teased and congradulated by everyone for finally becoming a couple. They give some advice and warnings about office romances.

Muriel

He is the hero that you work with whenever you need to go into the forest. You are both on friendly terms but don't interact often, due to him being a reclusive Leshy.

It's near impossible to capture let alone find Muriel or any other nature spirits, but somehow a "Ghost Hunter" managed to capture him, which meant Innana got to drag you to the scene to save him.

You manged to save Muriel but because the Ghost Hunter was a pervert you lost the top of your suit and your mask started to crack, once you got Muriel back into the woods, your mask fell off.

He then awkwardly tells you that your mask fell off, he knew that you were a business mogal but thats about it. He then tells you not to worry about it since he's not much of a talker. Unfortunately this is a forest full of nature spirits but they won't snitch to any humans either.

His life continued relatively normaly, except now he was being bombarded with questions & teasings from the other spirits. He also now has to apologise whenever they come to harrass you whenever you have to work together.

He feels bad about knowing your identity but doesn't understand why you keep visiting him and the other forest spirits. You do manage to gather more infromation about any mythical nusances and as a bonus how to help improve the forest.

Sooner than later you both realise you have feelings for each other. The other forest spirits decide to help Muriel out by setting up romantic events, getting Inanna to help push him to confess and getting Khamagalai to tell you that he likes you if he doesn't do it himself.

Since, you both aren't very public super heroes, you don't have to worry much about anyone bothering you whne you decide to do something romantic.

Portia

She is one of your closest friends and often comes to the office to check on you and her brother and bring some treats for you both and some of your employees.

Since she is a celebrity, there are people who get possesive of her. One day a villain who stalks her decided to kidnap her and threaten to take revenge because she rejected their creepy advances. Since it was broadcast across Vesuvia, you quickly arrived.

Luckily you weren't seriously injured, but your some of your clothes were scathed, which revealed one of your tattooed shoulders to her before you left.

The next day she invites you over to her place for tea & biscuits to tell you that she knows about your secret identity and lectures you on how much danger you could've put yourself into.

Ever since she found out, she's had more serious cinversations with you and brought Julian in as well. Now when there is a crisis that you have to solve, she will cheer you on more but she will be slightly more worried.

She tries to help you with anything you need as long as it's not life-threatening. She mainly gathers information on other celebrities or aristocrats that you might need. Your frienship continues to grow and return to a sort of normal once more.

After a while your friendship turns into something more. You both realise that but you both don't know how to go about telling each other, luckily or unluckily Julian tells you that you both like each other romantically.

She tries her best to gather as much information as she can and joins Asra and Julian in helping guide you through missions.

When the sun rises, you and she are the celebrity couple of the weekly news, which does lead to a ton of ship video's of you both along with some discource but nothing you can't handle.

Lucio

Depending on who hired him, he can either be an obstacle or an asset to your missions. You are frenemies, but Lucio will always get out of dodge if he realises his client could be a serious issue.

He is a mercenary which means he has pissed off any rivals of his employers. One day a rival Mafia boss of his employer at the time decided to get revenge on him and kidnapped him by using a draining machine. Luckily, you happened to be another pest to this Mafia boss and decided to rescue him.

You managed to save him but at the cost of your energy being depleted and some of your suit being torn. He decides to kill the enemy and get you out of there and into his abode where he finally notices that your mask fell off.

When you finally woke up, you were greeted by Melchoir & Mercendes along with Lucio bringing you a meal and drink, before trying to explain the events that lead you here.

After the events, he has become careful of his clients and researches them a bit to see if they have any powerful enemies. He is also more weary of everything. He now gets flustered around you too.

He does try to help you more & will now give details about any client he thinks might be out of his pay cheque, he also doesn't want to go to jail. He doesn't avoid you forever though and tries to befriend you.

He can't deny and neither can you that you both have grown close so he decides to prepare a spot where it could be romantic if he succeeded but also had a place for him to cry if it didn't. Luckily he didn't need it.

You two become a vigilante power couple in most nights which is greaet for you considering he's helping you rid Vesuvia of criminals even if he is being paid by others to do half of it.

By day you both get bombarded with paparazzi & interviewed by the press. You both don't mind too much but sometimes in can get out of hand when it's ruining any time you want to spend together in a public area.

[reyreadersblog]

I adore Max and Avery's friendship but if i were Alisa i'd have a serious talk with Ave about her trusts like idc that she's you best friend and the only one you can trust, NO you aren't the same pesron you were a few weeks ago, you are now world's youngest bilionaire and some girl appearing at your mansions gate saying she has left no one but you...i would find that really suspisious, bec YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYONE.

(I'm saying this from Alisa's perspective, no hate to any charcter, love Avery, Love Max and love their friendship)

[niceinchnails]

would you rather get killed, or be, a bilionaire (thats lot of money!)

[queenie-says-free-palestine]

Hi! I came across your blog and wanted to offload some feelings, I hope you don't mind.

I've been kinda aware of the situation in Palestine for a few years now (However I am sure that there is A LOT more I don't know) I'm from Western Europe, I'm sure you're aware of how little concern there was and is for Palestinian here. My stomach just dropped when I turned on the news this past weekend. The first thing I saw was the Israeli president proclaiming war. I felt horrified, I knew that whatever Hamas had done, the Palestinian people would be punished for it. It's terrible what happened to the Israeli people, of course, but the entire western world doesn't seem to acknowledge, accept or even care about the fact that those in Palestine are living in an 'Apartheid system'

I've seen videos of kids being 'roughed up' by Israeli military, old people forced from homes they've lived in for generations. They have been suffering for decades like this. Why is it okay for them to be treated like this? Because they're brown? Muslim? I'm sorry if that's a controversial thing to say, but I can't think of any other reason for it. It is both heartbreaking and infuriating.

I wish the western world just cared, if only a little bit. We have been bombarded with 'Israel the victim' narrative, there is some reporting about what they are doing to Gaza (cutting aid etc) and it's generating a little sympathy but not enough to change the overall narrative. Those who publicly support 'Free Palestine' are painted as antisemitic at best, a terrorist sympathizer at worst.

I'm sick of it!

Forgive me if I've got anything wrong here, but this is the opinion I've come to from what I've seen/read. Feel free to correct me.

Thanks for letting me vent.

sorry, i meant to reply to this when you sent it but ive been so busy 😭😭

im glad you feel that my blog is a safe space to vent :) and no worries, im fine w you feeling the need to spill all this. if anything im somewhat honored you chose my blog !

i will be expanding on some notes you said, but trigger warning for graphic depictions of violence. also notable that if people will get triggered at the very ideas of these things, at seeing them as words or on screens, then imagine those who face this in their every day lives, who have faced this every day for decades. you can choose not to read and not get triggered and move on. they dont have a choice.

the first thing id mention is that you mention how the condemnation is "why is it okay for them to be treated like this? because theyre brown? muslim?" and as a brown muslim, yes this is exactly why its okay for them to be treated like this. the west has made it clear for decades that muslims are terrorists or plane hijackers or bombers and they should be disciplined and indoctrinated, and arabs are either oil money bilionaires or robbers or sex objects who live in tents and dont use cars because they have camels. thats why white ukrainians are defending themselves but brown palestinians are terrorists

but also keep in mind that minorities such as arab christians are just as threatened, especially due to a lack of awareness about the fact that theres actually a large number of christians in arabia, and the christian communities in the middle east are some of the oldest in the world, with the ones in palestine able to date back to the birth of the church. in fact, arab christians are almost condemned more than arab muslims because people tend to blow them off because theyre arab christian and somewhat alien to other people.

not to mention that people have the nerve to say palestinians should die bc the majority are muslims and want to kill infidels and queers. what of the queer palestinians? im friends with palestinians irl and two of them are queer. are they excused from the massacre but their families should die? and its sad that this next sentence might be controversial, but even homophobes dont deserve to be slaughtered. yes, i said it.

next, this is smth that angers me, not what you said, but the fact that its so unknown. youve seen videos of "kids being 'roughed up' by israeli military, old people forced from homes theyve lived in for generations". i promise you, anon, this is the tip of the iceberg. scroll far enough, esp on twitter under the hashtag #freepalestine. the things ive seen will stay with me forever. the things youll see if you look far enough, i promise, you wont be able to comprehend how people who witness this every day can still have the will to live.

if you scroll far enough, youll see videos of women screaming in pain as they watch their homes getting bulldozed. youll see a video of a hearing impaired palestinian girl running, only to get hit in the face w a stun grenade. shes only eleven years old. youll see videos of a boy, only about six, eyes wide and staring off, silent as the person holding the camera urges him to speak and shakes him. youll see a father crying over his sons body after finding it among the dead. youll see a boy running through a crowd, screaming and crying for his dad, only to find his fathers corpse being held up by the people in front. youll find people being pulled out from rubble. youll find a boy pointing at his little sister and saying "look at the blood on her feet." youll see videos of people being held hostage in al aqsa mosque, the third holiest site in islam, by the idf. they did nothing but pray. youll see a man holding a dead fetus, saying that its mother was killed. youll see a father vlogging what life is like in gaza, he buys gifts for his daughters for eid but they keep hiding under pillows thinking that theyre going to get bombed and he has to reassure them and hug them. he died a few days later. youll see two children being held by an idf soldier as they cry and swear they havent done anything. youll see a palestinian girl gesturing towards destroyed buildings behind her and saying "you see all of this. what do you expect me to do, fix it? im only ten." youll see a woman talking about how her two and a half year old son, who was shot by israeli soldiers, was loved by everyone and he loved everyone. youll see a group of men in the middle of prayer, refusing to stop even when they hear israeli missiles hitting. they flinch but they dont stop praying. 

and what of the incidents that didnt get recorded? these are just from the last decade or so. what of the sixty five years before that? this is what i call terrorism. the hijabi on your flight is not a terrorist. the zionists who tells people to leave the land they grew up in, the land their ancestors grew up in? THATS who the the terrorist here.

and even those who dont get killed are terrorized. there are people who have to sign in with checkpoints any time they enter or leave their own home. theyre arrested by the idf for no reason and interrogated for hours.

i would also like to add a point. palestinians arent punished for hamas's crimes. palestinians are punished for being palestinians. people could argue that "oh, israels trying to attack hamas, the civilians are collateral damage, thats inevitable in war!!!"

bull. shit.

okay fine, lets assume that, ethically speaking, its morally just to level all of gaza with the aim of exterminating hamas. lets assume that its not morally questionable to do so, and lets assume that it doesnt violate international law. let me steal the argument of bassem youssef from when he debated w piers morgan:

lets assume hamas doesnt exist. lets assume theres a world where hamas doesnt exist in palestine, and lets call this world the west bank. ... whats the excuse for killing palestinians in the west bank?

(he said smth of the sort, im not sure these were his exact words)

why would you kill palestinians in the west bank, where there isnt hamas, and say that its "collateral damage" from a war w hamas? its thinly veiled racism, i promise you

the slightly more fortunate news is that the world seems to be waking up. there are protests, even in the west, in support of palestine. al jazeera news has an article abt places that have held protests in solidarity w palestine (the link is here) and a lot of them are in western/european countries. even jews are protesting, i remember seeing a video (its kinda old tho maybe two years old ??) of a jewish guy saying "we are embarassed of whats happening in the state of israel, in the jewish name" and that palestinians "shouldnt give up the struggle" (the video is here)

unfortunately, where i live, no protests can be held, but maybe if theres any near you, anon, you can show some love by attending :) and if there arent then you can simply donate (only if you can, obviously)

sorry this ramble is so long hahaha its just that your ask allowed me to let out some bottled up feelings of my own

AITA Podcast Edition:

"AITA for stalking my co-workers?"

I recently discovered that the woman that previously had my job G was murdered and her body was resting in the secret tunnels behind my work place with a bunch of cassete tapes. It has to have been one of my co-workers!! And if I do nothing I'm the next!!! No, I'm not paranoid!!!

"AITA for lying to my employee so I could turn him into an eldrish god and end the world?"

My ex-husband P said he though so but he tried to throw my other employee M into a Lonely hellish pocket dimension so who can tell? My Archieve also thinks so but I did applogize for the decepcion.

AITA for driving a man out of town because he gave my husband a bad haircut?

It was a really bad haircut.

AITA for bringing scientific explanations to a desert little town?

You see, I just wanted to help the people from this small supertious odd town in having a better understanding of reality by explaining away everything. Unfortunately my explanations were "killing" some unexplainable people (apparently by explaining them they just died and were remade lifeless husks) and the town got mad because god forbid a woman do anything.

AITA for screaming at a grieving woman over her lack of investigative curiosity?

I have some known investigative abilities, those who know me know that my love for riddles and puzzles has no bounds so it wasn't really as surprising when a surprisingly not evil cop asked my help with a high profile case. We were to investigste the disapearance of B and that was how we ended up meeting Vi she was B ex-girlfriend and could know something about the case except even though she was a journalist she didn't even know it was a kidnapping case!

AITA for forcing Gotham to watch an evil horror movie?

The movie in question was gifted to me in a ... let's say exange with a certain local bilionaire I may or may not have fear gassed after he refused to properly compensate me with said movie.

AITA for using the plans I had with my ex-boyfriend with my new boyfriend?

Us and my ex were very close and we had created this plan in case the city needed a backup civilian concil in the mist of the police. But after an... acid incident.. we sorta broke up and my new mafia boss bf really wanted to control the police.

AITA for not letting my friend numb her feelings with magic?

I work as an obituary writer and that was how I met my first friend in ages when I was writing about her aunt passing.

AITA for joining the other side without telling my friends?

Look I'm a demon and all my friends are as well, we have a band ... had a band? Not sure if I'm still in it... But hell sucks.

AITA for suspending someone's soul in the moment they died?

I had no idea I could do that. But apparently when I was a child I did? Until this point I was sure I had no arcane powers (as my mum told me that repetedly). I don't know how I did that or how to undo it but I feel bad.

yeah like theres no way rich people could be rich without people being poor

you cant make more money bc otherwise its obselete

capitalists and boot lickers always like to say that you cant make more money

so they just think theres the exact right amount?

which means some people are supposed to be poor

which who gets to decide

a rich person is a rich person bc they are rich and others arent

if everyone was rich, then its the same as making money obsolete and is no different from abolishing money

anyone who defends billionaires, but even supporting the idea that its ok if some people make more money for whatever reason, then they are saying some people deserve less

and if everything was low prices and everyone had enough money to spend except some people are billionaires and other people are multibillionaires then its the same thing as no money or all money

so it all points down to seeing some people as not worth having basic rights of shelter/food/etc or even luxury or comfortability

which like. obviously

but this thinking affects anyone who isnt a billionaire, so pretty much most people who can vote

its all bc of the mindset that one can just reach bilionaire status- prepping the future for your arrive as rags to riches

like good luck climbing that wall instead of helping break it down

like you might make it, but you might fall. not even a 50/50% chance either. its like a 98/2% chance

I think concervatives/the right should be made to live a life without liberal/leftist work/progress for like a month or a year wtvr. i think they forget where certain luxuries come from

and also pull them away from all that brain rot from the right. yknow like when you stop eating greasy food and start feeling better.

.003 }{ ＤＡＺＺＬＩＮＧ ✨️ }{ It’s officially the happiest time of the year at the Billionaire’s Place (owned by, Déesse’s longtime friend & occasional councilor, @MrRED.VR.) Take note, that whenever given the opportunity to visit @BillionairesPlace.SL, you must arrive dressed to impress, especially during the holidays. This is no challenge for Déesse, class & style is her second nature & exclusive upscale appearances are totally her vibe. Déesse arrives & her presence is immediately felt; as she gracefully smiles & float around the room like a subtle ballerina. Her eyes twinkle like the finest Bvlgari jewelry draping her neck & ears. The scent of choice for this goddess is “Chance by Chanel” & it blends perfectly with her chemistry & the aroma of the room. Her look was a little number that has been sitting in her closet for years, awaiting a night as such to wear such an exquisite piece. Déesse is the epitome of a refine beauty & a rare sight to see. - “Last night, I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the Bilionaire’s Place. The evening was filled with the best holiday themed cocktails, tasty treats, giveaways, smooth Christmas & R&B jams. To my surprise, I ended up winning the cutest wine Christmas Stocking made by @JunkFoodSL! Not only do I love wine, but the stocking in my favorite color. Thank you to the team of Billionaire’s Place for always inviting to your events, truly an SL gem.”

Smoked a joint with husband after a really good faith analysis of taycaptalism he sent moi and we both got to the bottom of joever. 3 hours discussing joever and we were both pulling up sociology books 😭😭😭

But like ok, (i poisoned the man and now he thinks joe is a bebe that cant do mistakes but w/e) they both did whatever people do when the relationship turns shit and you want out ofc, but put all that aside, this is the closest thing to civilian megxit.

royal famz like their miney too much to be happy just throwing dinners, shaking hands and getting gifts. They're there to be the perfect nuclear fam (with that one pedo uncle) and the more they speak, the more unpleasant and "off with their heads" the people get.

civilians bilionaires are different though. Taylor has no problem yielding her power in her industry (and good bc she changed some real stupid shit), but the girl was dry heaving to daddy over coming out as a Democrat. I love that woman but I could not marry into that.

Like, they were mostly living with a veneer of normalcy because fame aside, she's still outrageously rich and the only way to cope with that is through disassociation. If they married or whatever, I can't imagine opening any news paper and not dying inside a little for not doing anything? No wonder he was dragging his feet the second the rerecording project started lol girlie doesn't like saying how much she has on the bank after that for a REEEEASON - she knows how it comes across.

And I'm not saying it like he's a bleeding heart saint that should get a Nobel prize (mr. husband is close to saying that tho), but again, fame aside, people that are THIS RICH can only be really happy with someone also happy just being THIS RICH. The end of Notting Hill is her giving up her career to live quiet and pop out a bebe 😭.

Tayvis working out or not working out it's whatever, him or the next person, she can't be with someone that will pearl clutch or eye roll if she ever wants to drop 8 figures in some vapid pretty jewelry. And if joe goes for the next most popular person in the world again, it needs to be a paul newman type that actually loves that type of normalcy and will still drop 8 figures in a rare painting but hang it in their house in the middle of nowhere (and then raise kiddos that will donate it to charity when the time comes ofc)

And like, she can do all the important shit Elizabeth Taylor did in life too! COVERED IN DIAMONDS TOO! I dont get what she's so freaked out over having opinions and being poised all the time. Even in her current rebellious METAL era, she's such a complicated messy darling to me 😭😭😭

(Pls tumblr don't eat my ask, pls nat, I need your go off queen 👼 I'm in too deep)

my sister my queen ur still stoned af lol which I don’t judge but idk if I can meaningfully contribute to your thoughts. Just here to say you are valid lol and your relationship sounds awesome lmfao. Find u a person who’ll get stoned with u and discuss Joever and sociology 👸🏻 Queen shit.

i love tumblr

like on twitter whatever you post someone somehow will start a 3 days political debate in the comments even if it has to be about the morality of, like, white bread or something

whereas on tumblr you can say shit like 'i think all bilionaires should be assassinated tbh' and there would be someone to reply 'um actually i think milionaires should die too' and then there'd be a third one being like 'god y'all are sooo boring with your old fashioned murders 🙄 wouldn't you rather have them burned at the stake in a public iconoclast of capitalism?'

and i just love that so much
