Alright. I just wanted to add one short story about a mythological beast from the Inuit. This happens to be one of my favorite pictures of all time, just because of the level of creepiness involved. These are Qallupilluit, Qallupilluk singular. Now, Qallupilluit are ocean creatures that steals lone children through cracks in the ice. There are many descriptions for a Qallupilluit, so I’ll name a couple popular ones. They are claimed to be short with blue skin, they wear parkas made of loon feathers, and their hair is home to a host of sea critters like crabs, and laced with seaweed.

Sometimes they are described with long hair, like the picture, and green skin with long finger nails. They are said to wear a amauti, a unique parka created with a pouch for a child to rest in.

Sometimes they are said to have scaly and bumpy skin. And even sometimes they have an eider duck parka. Most descriptions of the creature include a pouch for carrying children.

They are said to reek of sulfur, which I’m sure adds to their non-existant appeal. Inuit elders say that Qallupilluit have a specific humming sound that they make, and you can hear it when they are near. They also tend to jump out of the cracks in the ice without warning. And, the most creepy thing to me, they knock on the ice and you can hear the distinct tapping. If the ocean gets particularly wavy or steam rises, a Qallupilluit is hiding in the water.

No one is sure why they steal children. Some speculate loneliness. Others speculate dinner. Some variations of Qallupilluit mythology say that the child stolen will either die or turn into a mermaid to live underwater with the Qallupilluk that took them.

Most accounts claim that this was a legend created to scare children away from playing on the beach alone, or approaching cracking, drifting ice. But, even so, I wanted to include this because something about the idea of Qallupilluit really scares the crap out of me. Humming, ice tapping, baby kidnapping ocean creatures.

The Inuit sure knew how to scare the crap out of children (and possibly everyone else. Unless I’m alone here.)

I never liked those posts that reduce the Disney princesses to “girl who overacts about something and dramatically flings herself down and bawls” (super popular in the early 10’s and somehow that’s how a shocking majority view the classics now) but after an Aladdin (1992) rewatch, it’s especially egregious that they ever included Jasmine in that.

This part. This is the part I’m talking about

This is not a woman falling to pieces because her father won’t let her marry a man she just met.

This is a woman born to a life she has very little say in. She has never had a genuine friend (besides a tiger). She is facing a marriage to a man she doesn’t know and doesn’t like but duty (and the law) demands it. So she took a risk, ran away, ran to a world she doesn’t know or understand and when she landed in trouble (serious, serious trouble) a stranger came to her aid. She finally (finally!) made a real connection with someone but they didn’t get much time together before the guards showed up and she had to reveal who she was.

This moment when she’s crying her heart out? It comes after she’s been told that the first person she ever connected with, the first person to be genuinely interested in her for who she is and not what she is, the first real friend she has ever made, was executed… because of her.

She believes a good, innocent person has lost their life because of her actions, and what’s more, it brings home the reality for her that she cannot have a normal life or normal relationships, because see the consequences one little attempt wrought?

Ahmed and his family have been verified by @90-ghost for a long time now. Still, in the face of inflated prices in Gaza, he struggles to collect enough money to purchase the simplest of things like milk and flour, which are now as much as $1,000 and $750 respectively.

Ahmed and his family are only trying to survive against the starvation that has taken all of Gaza by storm. Ahmed’s sister needs milk to feed her two small children, and Ahmed himself has even fainted from the hunger. Ahmed’s beloved cat has now died of hunger.

There is not enough food to go around. Those with food sell it at prices too steep for people in need to afford. Ahmed does not have much time. He and his family are already in critical condition from starvation and lack of shelter. He has already lost his cat, he cannot lose his family. He cannot lose his life.

Ahmed is able to accept donations at both of the below accounts. PayPal is more direct and will take fewer fees altogether, but if PayPal is not available to you we ask that you please donate to the GFM. It will get to him regardless of payment method. For other options, you can DM me or send an ask and I will make sure that the money gets to him.

Donate to Help Ahmed Rebuild His Life in Gaza, organized by Tiffany Dickenson

My name is Tiffany, and though I live in the U.S. thousands of miles from Gaza, … Tiffany Dickenson needs your support for Help Ahmed Rebuil

Go to paypal.me/AhmedResh and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

We are currently looking for around $2,000 as a short-term goal. We are already partway to this goal at $271. It is urgent that Ahmed gets this money as soon as possible.

[eruthiawenluin]

Ahmed urgently needs $500 for his mother’s surgery on April 25th (in under 48 hours). I do not have the money myself. Anyone who can chip in, please send money directly to the PayPal linked above, as he will get the money sooner with fewer fees.

steve rogers goes to his own exhibit with only a baseball cap as a disguise….. and only a kid recognizes him. its a trend that’s continued through the whole film. no one recognizes him bc of his face. seventy years under ice and history has replaced steve rogers almost completely with captain america. he’s been overshadowed by a legend. which, to me, makes it even more meaningful that when steve wears his vintage cap costume to jog bucky’s memory it doesn’t work. its not until the cowl is knocked aside, the shield is dropped, and all that’s left is a little guy from brooklyn who was too dumb not to run away from a fight, that bucky remembers him 

[imposterogers]

and the only time anyone recognizes him, its in front of the words ‘james buchanan barnes’ just for the winter soldier to say 'i knew him’ after hearing the name bucky from steve’s mouth
