hey, letting y'all know that i'm doing a writing event for palestine! if you can send me proof of donation to a vetted palestinian fundraiser, i'll either advance one of my WIPs or write a request for you. (rate is $1 -> ~100 words)

some of my wips:

- a your turn to die au where sara dies in the first trial (still in the planning stage, 0 words)

- one piece au where crocodile finds and adopts a young nico robin (1,029 words)

- an exploration of luffy's relationship with the other strawhats through an arospec lens (100 words)

- and i'll take requests for one piece, your turn to die, supernatural, percy jackson, and the magnus archives!

(note: while this is inspired by fics for gaza, it's not affiliated with them. you can find vetted fundraisers under the 'resources' tag on my blog, or gazafunds.com.)

Something that really fucks me up is this scene where Robin says she wants to die and how Luffy makes this face

And upon reading this for the first time, I felt a huge wave of emotion over his expression because it just felt to me like when he heard that, he was seeing something else. Almost like a memory that we weren't being shown.

And then later when Ace and Luffy's backstory plays out, this is revealed;

That Ace was suicidal. Feeling like it was wrong for him to have even been born and to live. Feeling hurt, angry, alone and unwanted.

And that the only reason he felt like he had the strength to keep living was because Luffy told him that he didn't want him to die.

Ace never directly told Luffy that he wanted to kill himself. But with the way he carried himself and the obvious disregard he had for his life, it was easy to see for someone as empathetic and intuitive as Luffy. And so Luffy stayed close to Ace desperately until he felt strong enough to stand on his own.

Luffy has had so many suicidal people in his life since such a young age and he always saves them in such a seemingly effortless way just by saying

"I'll be there with you. I'll stay."

But what alot of people don't understand is that in spite of Luffy's endless empathy, compassion and love that's deeper than the ocean, when somebody he loves wants to die it always hurts him so bad and it shows so much on his face at even a hint of it.

He bounces back with a smile so often and kicks so much ass that it's so easy to forget sometimes that he's just this 17-19 year old kid...

Who, at his core, is still always crying and begging the people he loves not to leave him because he doesn't want to be alone anymore, either.

To get $100, you must spend two hours discussing Supernatural with another person (spin the wheel).

Would you agree to this?

Yes, it would be easy to discuss spn with this person

Yes, it would be hard to discuss spn with this person, but I need money

Yes, I would even do this for free

Yes, I would even pay you myself to do this

No, but I would have agreed, if they had offered more money

No, no amount of money is worth this

You motherfuckers yes I hate Kamala too but when she is announced to be the Democratic candidate we are all going to shoot fireworks and go to the goddamn polls

[raan-miir-tah]

GRIPPING EVERYBODY’S SHOULDERS SO TIGHTLY RIGHT NOW. YOU WILL VOTE FOR HARRIS. YOU WILL RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS NO MORAL WAY TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE US AND YOU WILL STILL VOTE TO STRATEGICALLY PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS.

Good news for American minorities: shooter was white

He was registered Republican, but apparently also made a 15$ donation to the Biden campaign at one point. Average American swing voter.

I love the concept of Baratie not just bc it's a sea restaurant and that's cool but because their policy is the absolute antithesis of "the customer is always right." Oh you wanna be a jerk to the staff? Get decked, loser. Being terrible on a date? Congratulations, our sous chef will steal your girl. Ordered a wine that pairs badly? Ignored, we're picking a better one. It's like objectively the funniest way to run a restaurant and I can't stop thinking about it.

I love when singers think maybe their song requires a little prerequisite information so they just cover it real fast so everyone’s on the same page. I love that TLC opens No Scrubs quickly reviewing exactly what a scrub is and when ABBA was like “just in case you didn’t know, famed 19th century militant ruler Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated in the battle of Waterloo. We though perhaps not everyone would know that. Alright, so moving on to my love life, which is similar to that actually,”

[wizardarchetypes]

exactly thank u yes I saw that too. this is about in-song debriefing specifically. when the lyrics themselves are a quick explanation of the info you need to set u up for the rest of the song

I just think it would be funny to switch things up and lead with "popular far-right online blogger, Joan Rowling" once in awhile.

[cipheramnesia]

"Joan Rowling, most famous for her staunch opposition to equal rights through her popular Twitter blog"

[cipheramnesia]

"Long time advocate against women's rights, Joan Rowling."

[cipheramnesia]

"Joan Rowling, a major contributor to the conservative party"

Jesus fucking christ please fucking vote please vote against these nazis PLEASE

[tiggymalvern]

I understand not wanting to vote for genocide in Palestine. Unfortunately you don't have a vote that will do that. No US government can change the Israeli government's policies or kick out Netanyahu and his ilk. That is not within their power.

There is no candidate you can choose who will change the situation in Gaza. You can only vote against a genocide in your own country, and I urge you to do that while you can.

[bundibird]

"Yeah but we as Americans CAN stop arming Israel!!!" That is true!!! And so far, in the entire history of the US's allyship with Israel, President Biden is the only one to have so much as threatened to withhold arms exportation to Israel, whilst meanwhile, Trump has been very open about his plan to "help Israel finish the job" and "level gaza" and has, I believe, even brought up the possibility of using nuclear power on Gaza.

So on the one hand you have a President who, against the pattern of all those who came before him and against immense in-house pressure, threatened to pull funding/arms shipments to Israel.

And on the other hand, you have a guy who openly wants to give Israel MORE weapons, MORE money, MORE impunity, MORE illegally-gotten land, MORE dead Palestinians, etc.

And sure, threatening to pull funding/weapons from Israel is very different to actually doing it, but it cannot be overstated how big of a deal it is that Biden threatened it at all, given the unfathomably intense, absolutely unwavering support of most of the US government towards Israel.

I, personally, think that if Biden were lynched in the street for what has happened to Palestine on his watch, it would be understandable. But I can despise him for not doing nearly enough to curb Israel whilst also acknowledging that the other guy will be unfathomably, astronomically worse for Palestine.

If Palestine is your main sticking point for whether or not to vote Biden, know that voting for Biden helps prevent the guy who wants to nuke Gaza from getting into power.

"I shouldn't have to vote for either of them!!" Well, you do. Sorry. Your options are "the guy who has allowed this genocide to happen but who has repeatedly shown signs of caving to public pressure, and who even threatened to pull weapons from israel, which is leagues more than any president before him has ever done" -- or "the guy who has openly committed to razing gaza to the ground and erasing palestinians from existence."

One of them is going to be elected, one way or another. You can help make sure it's the lesser-evil --- or you can refrain from voting and let the unfathomably evil guy get into power because you somehow thought that not voting and thus allowing a Trump win was somehow the morally correct course of action. Your choice.

No one is doing it like Monkey D. Luffy. He’s a god. He’s a wanted criminal. He’s an idiot. He is an impeccable judge of character. He will punch an eight year old in the face. He forgets to mention people who are incredibly important to him. He’s an asexual icon. He has absolutely no marketable skills. He’s a selfish asshole. He has a very strong moral code that he decides entirely in the moment and will never explain to anyone ever.

[screamting]

From context clues at least 50% of his moral code is food based.

[patricia-taxxon]

oh whats all this about "intuitive eating?" sounds pretty slick. (forgets to eat until starving, binges on junk food in a panic, repeat)

[mickjustmademylist]

fucking. what?

Guys, they're in need for more esims to help Gaza remain connected to the rest of the world. Please contribute what you can.
