We are sharing some of our favourite gifs each day this month for Antifa International’s fifth anniversary. Today: Nazi monuments being destroyed after the defeat of Nazi Germany.
If this offends you 😊 unfollow me 😊
And a note to confederates: these monuments weren’t kept because this was “history”. These monuments celebrated horrible things and we BLEW THEM UP.
REBLOG IF YOU WOULD BE LITERALLY 100% OKAY WITH FAN ART ABOUT YOU EVEN IF IT WAS JUST STICK MEN
Oh well That's new.
Echo, how long has there been a snake here?
@kaleidoscopic-castles (Merry)
I Just Found Him Actually. He, Uh, Is Eldritch? And. Sorta Used To Be My Dad? But Now He Has No Memories And Is Very Feral. And. Cannot Understand English.
*Alam is happily curled around Echo's shoulders as a grey snake with spines and too many eyes. And a few fins. He seems curious about Merry but not enough to move*
"Well... that is certainly different than I expected him to be." She frowns, and waves a hand across her eyes to create a magical lens to look at him through. "I might not be religious, but uh. Well, I'm sure you've been filled in on the stories by now."
They shrug.
"But, if he's feral now then there's no point in worrying about his past yet."
Mmm. When Talking To Him In Eldritch He Kind Of Talks Like An Excitable Dog? I Think He Might Be Able To Recover But Right Now He Is Still... In Emergency Mode I Guess
*Alam wiggles a little, getting comfortable*
I Doubt His Memories Will Ever Return Though, From What He Has Been Like Thus Far. I Guess I Would Have To Ask Someone Who Knows The Mind Better To Know For Sure
"Oh dear..." she nods absently. "Hmm. I should work on a spell that lets me talk in Eldritch, I get the feeling that's more than just learning a language..."
Yeah, It Is... A Whole Thing. You Need To Have A Sort Of... Metaphysical Set Of Vocal Chords Kind Of Thing I Think. It Feels Like It At Least. And That Is Assuming It Does Not Hurt Your Ears To Hear, Which It Does With A Lot Of People, Sadly.
*They sigh, softly*
Very Inconvenient For All Involved
"Yeah, that's a good point..." they tap their fingers on their arm. "I'd probably need to involve some sort of filter to prevent that too. Not something I can do on the fly, by the sounds of it."
Yeah. Definitely Not Convenient, But Very Few Things Are. Ah Well. I Appreciate The Thought, At Least
"Well, I'm sure Eppy would be able to help if you asked him," she says, "He's better with mind things anyway. In the meantime..." they reach out a hand for Alam to sniff if he wanted. "Is there anything you need that I can help with?"
*Alam boops her hand with his nose gently, his tongue flicking out to scent the air, as snakes are known to do.*
I Have No Idea, Honestly. I Guess Uh... Help Stop Cronus From Finding Out About Him? I Get That He Means Well But. You Know. It Is My And Nems Choice If We Forgive Alam Or Not, And Not Cros.
"I have nothing but respect for His Majesty," she begins, "But what he doesn't know won't hurt him. He won't hear from me, at least, not unless he pulls it from my head."
Merry strokes Alam's head gently.
Thank You...
*Alam leans into her hand, clearly happy to have positive attention*
Heh, He Acts A Lot Like A Puppy Right Now, Just Curious But Cautious, And Excited By Positive Attention. I Guess He Is Getting Used To Being In A Safe Enviroment. People Being Gentle Is A Novel Concept To Him
"Getting used to that is good." they smile softly, continuing to pet him. "Are you sure you're good on like, places for him to sleep and such?"
Knowing How Instinct Will Likely Affect Him, He Will Probably Want To Nap In A Cuddle Pile While He Gets Used To This Place, So Yeah, Pretty Much.
*Alam chirrups softly. He seems to like the pets*
"Alright." They nod. "So, aside from this, how have you been?"
I Have Been Alright, I Think. It Is... New, Having People Who Like Me Around That I Can Just... Talk To. I Have Been Experimenting With Outfits, As Well. I Re-Found Lost And. Well, Lost And Found, And Nobody Ever Takes Anything From There, So I Have Just Been Trying On Whatever Seems Nice. It Is Kind Of Fun.
*They smile, slightly. It's a little nervous, but they're clearly doing better than they were.*
"Yes, it certainly can be!" she smiles widely at them. "What sort of things do you like best so far?"
Hmm.. I Like Dresses And Um... What My Phone Says Is 'Gothic' Outfits? They Are Nice... I Like Being A Little Pointy, I Think.
"Yeah, those are cool," they nod. "Not my preference, but it's good for people to like different things."
Indeed! Being Able To Make Choices Is Fun!
*They smile, widely, clearly excited about being able to choose their own outfits. It's almost sad, how much being able to make choices means to them*
"Yeah, it is," she smiles, trying to focus on how they can now rather than why it's novel for them. "Have you thought about modifying anything to suit your preferences more?"
I Have Been Thinking About It... There Is This Reverse Tie Dye Method Using Bleach I Kind Of Want To Try!
*They begin flapping their hands without noticing. Alam the currently-just-a-snake definitely notices, but doesn't mind.*
"Oh, I've heard of that!" Merry grins, "It seems really cool!"
Yeah! It Looks Really Pretty... Maybe I Could Try Bleach Tie Dying It Then Regular Tie Dying It Once It Is Dry? It Could Look Cool!
"It certainly could! I'd like to see the results if you do this."
Of Course! I Would Be Happy To Show You!
*They keep flapping their hands excitedly*
Merry keeps smiling, it was nice to see them so happy.
"Actually, would you like any of my old clothes to practice on? I'm not sure that we're the same size, but practice is practice, and I've got more than I use."
That Would Be Lovely, Thank You So Much!
*They beam, excitedly*
"I'll have to remember to bring some over then," they nod, "And let me know if you want any magical assistance, I can always use fun little projects."
Will Do!
*They notice their flapping hands, and stop abruptly, their smile wavering a bit*
Ah, Sorry - I Did Not Notice I Was Doing That
"Why should you be sorry for that?" She blinks, "It's cute, and it's clearly part of how you express excitement and joy. Knowing that you're happy makes me happy too."
It Is? I Was Told By- I Was Told It Was Childish And Annoying...
*No need to guess who said that to them. Somehow noticing their distress, Alam-the-snake bumps his head against their cheek, in a clearly affectionate manner*
"Well, anyone who says that is not worth your time, Echo," they insist. "And I will gladly beat that into their heads if you don't want to."
Thank You... He-They Uh, Will Not Be A Problem Anymore, Anyway... It Is Really Okay?
*They look... fragile, right now. Like glass. Alam-The-Snake makes a very unsnakelike sound, but it's oddly comforting*
"Of course it is," she says. "Of course it is. Do you... do you want a hug?"
... Please.
*They hold out their arms, hands shaking slightly*
She pulls Echo into a big, warm hug, patting their back and making soft murmurations.
*Echo hugs back tightly, resting their head against Merry's shoulder. From the way they're breathing, they're trying not to cry*
"You can cry if you want to," she whispers, "I won't mind."
... Thank You.
*Echo's voice is a whisper, and slowly, quietly, they begin to sob. There's just something about... about knowing that what they do isn't weird that makes them feel seen. It's... a bit too much for them, right now*
Merry hums a soft, comforting song, and doesn't speak again until Echo seems ready to move on from this moment.
*Echo cries, clinging to Merry. They're dealing with... a lot. All at once. And it's exhausting. So just being held like this? It's a nice change of pace for them*
Merry does eventually pull them down so that they're both sitting, just so the hug can go on longer.
*Slowly, Echo's sobs turn to sniffles, as they continue to cling to Merry. Eventually, they speak up, softly*
You Are Very Kind, Merry...
"I try to be," she says. "I learned how important it was a long time ago..."
It Is Good. You Are Good.
*They rest their head against her, idly*
You Are A Good Friend
"Thanks, Echo," they smile. "You are too."
Oh well That's new.

*They look... fragile, right now. Like glass. Alam-The-Snake makes a very unsnakelike sound, but it's oddly comforting*
"Of course it is," she says. "Of course it is. Do you... do you want a hug?"
... Please.
*They hold out their arms, hands shaking slightly*
She pulls Echo into a big, warm hug, patting their back and making soft murmurations.
*Echo hugs back tightly, resting their head against Merry's shoulder. From the way they're breathing, they're trying not to cry*
"You can cry if you want to," she whispers, "I won't mind."
... Thank You.
*Echo's voice is a whisper, and slowly, quietly, they begin to sob. There's just something about... about knowing that what they do isn't weird that makes them feel seen. It's... a bit too much for them, right now*
Merry hums a soft, comforting song, and doesn't speak again until Echo seems ready to move on from this moment.
Oh well That's new.
Echo, how long has there been a snake here?
@kaleidoscopic-castles (Merry)
I Just Found Him Actually. He, Uh, Is Eldritch? And. Sorta Used To Be My Dad? But Now He Has No Memories And Is Very Feral. And. Cannot Understand English.
*Alam is happily curled around Echo's shoulders as a grey snake with spines and too many eyes. And a few fins. He seems curious about Merry but not enough to move*
"Well... that is certainly different than I expected him to be." She frowns, and waves a hand across her eyes to create a magical lens to look at him through. "I might not be religious, but uh. Well, I'm sure you've been filled in on the stories by now."
They shrug.
"But, if he's feral now then there's no point in worrying about his past yet."
Mmm. When Talking To Him In Eldritch He Kind Of Talks Like An Excitable Dog? I Think He Might Be Able To Recover But Right Now He Is Still... In Emergency Mode I Guess
*Alam wiggles a little, getting comfortable*
I Doubt His Memories Will Ever Return Though, From What He Has Been Like Thus Far. I Guess I Would Have To Ask Someone Who Knows The Mind Better To Know For Sure
"Oh dear..." she nods absently. "Hmm. I should work on a spell that lets me talk in Eldritch, I get the feeling that's more than just learning a language..."
Yeah, It Is... A Whole Thing. You Need To Have A Sort Of... Metaphysical Set Of Vocal Chords Kind Of Thing I Think. It Feels Like It At Least. And That Is Assuming It Does Not Hurt Your Ears To Hear, Which It Does With A Lot Of People, Sadly.
*They sigh, softly*
Very Inconvenient For All Involved
"Yeah, that's a good point..." they tap their fingers on their arm. "I'd probably need to involve some sort of filter to prevent that too. Not something I can do on the fly, by the sounds of it."
Yeah. Definitely Not Convenient, But Very Few Things Are. Ah Well. I Appreciate The Thought, At Least
"Well, I'm sure Eppy would be able to help if you asked him," she says, "He's better with mind things anyway. In the meantime..." they reach out a hand for Alam to sniff if he wanted. "Is there anything you need that I can help with?"
*Alam boops her hand with his nose gently, his tongue flicking out to scent the air, as snakes are known to do.*
I Have No Idea, Honestly. I Guess Uh... Help Stop Cronus From Finding Out About Him? I Get That He Means Well But. You Know. It Is My And Nems Choice If We Forgive Alam Or Not, And Not Cros.
"I have nothing but respect for His Majesty," she begins, "But what he doesn't know won't hurt him. He won't hear from me, at least, not unless he pulls it from my head."
Merry strokes Alam's head gently.
Thank You...
*Alam leans into her hand, clearly happy to have positive attention*
Heh, He Acts A Lot Like A Puppy Right Now, Just Curious But Cautious, And Excited By Positive Attention. I Guess He Is Getting Used To Being In A Safe Enviroment. People Being Gentle Is A Novel Concept To Him
"Getting used to that is good." they smile softly, continuing to pet him. "Are you sure you're good on like, places for him to sleep and such?"
Knowing How Instinct Will Likely Affect Him, He Will Probably Want To Nap In A Cuddle Pile While He Gets Used To This Place, So Yeah, Pretty Much.
*Alam chirrups softly. He seems to like the pets*
"Alright." They nod. "So, aside from this, how have you been?"
I Have Been Alright, I Think. It Is... New, Having People Who Like Me Around That I Can Just... Talk To. I Have Been Experimenting With Outfits, As Well. I Re-Found Lost And. Well, Lost And Found, And Nobody Ever Takes Anything From There, So I Have Just Been Trying On Whatever Seems Nice. It Is Kind Of Fun.
*They smile, slightly. It's a little nervous, but they're clearly doing better than they were.*
"Yes, it certainly can be!" she smiles widely at them. "What sort of things do you like best so far?"
Hmm.. I Like Dresses And Um... What My Phone Says Is 'Gothic' Outfits? They Are Nice... I Like Being A Little Pointy, I Think.
"Yeah, those are cool," they nod. "Not my preference, but it's good for people to like different things."
Indeed! Being Able To Make Choices Is Fun!
*They smile, widely, clearly excited about being able to choose their own outfits. It's almost sad, how much being able to make choices means to them*
"Yeah, it is," she smiles, trying to focus on how they can now rather than why it's novel for them. "Have you thought about modifying anything to suit your preferences more?"
I Have Been Thinking About It... There Is This Reverse Tie Dye Method Using Bleach I Kind Of Want To Try!
*They begin flapping their hands without noticing. Alam the currently-just-a-snake definitely notices, but doesn't mind.*
"Oh, I've heard of that!" Merry grins, "It seems really cool!"
Yeah! It Looks Really Pretty... Maybe I Could Try Bleach Tie Dying It Then Regular Tie Dying It Once It Is Dry? It Could Look Cool!
"It certainly could! I'd like to see the results if you do this."
Of Course! I Would Be Happy To Show You!
*They keep flapping their hands excitedly*
Merry keeps smiling, it was nice to see them so happy.
"Actually, would you like any of my old clothes to practice on? I'm not sure that we're the same size, but practice is practice, and I've got more than I use."
That Would Be Lovely, Thank You So Much!
*They beam, excitedly*
"I'll have to remember to bring some over then," they nod, "And let me know if you want any magical assistance, I can always use fun little projects."
Will Do!
*They notice their flapping hands, and stop abruptly, their smile wavering a bit*
Ah, Sorry - I Did Not Notice I Was Doing That
"Why should you be sorry for that?" She blinks, "It's cute, and it's clearly part of how you express excitement and joy. Knowing that you're happy makes me happy too."
It Is? I Was Told By- I Was Told It Was Childish And Annoying...
*No need to guess who said that to them. Somehow noticing their distress, Alam-the-snake bumps his head against their cheek, in a clearly affectionate manner*
"Well, anyone who says that is not worth your time, Echo," they insist. "And I will gladly beat that into their heads if you don't want to."
Thank You... He-They Uh, Will Not Be A Problem Anymore, Anyway... It Is Really Okay?

Hmm.. I Like Dresses And Um... What My Phone Says Is 'Gothic' Outfits? They Are Nice... I Like Being A Little Pointy, I Think.
"Yeah, those are cool," they nod. "Not my preference, but it's good for people to like different things."
Indeed! Being Able To Make Choices Is Fun!
*They smile, widely, clearly excited about being able to choose their own outfits. It's almost sad, how much being able to make choices means to them*
"Yeah, it is," she smiles, trying to focus on how they can now rather than why it's novel for them. "Have you thought about modifying anything to suit your preferences more?"
I Have Been Thinking About It... There Is This Reverse Tie Dye Method Using Bleach I Kind Of Want To Try!
*They begin flapping their hands without noticing. Alam the currently-just-a-snake definitely notices, but doesn't mind.*
"Oh, I've heard of that!" Merry grins, "It seems really cool!"
Yeah! It Looks Really Pretty... Maybe I Could Try Bleach Tie Dying It Then Regular Tie Dying It Once It Is Dry? It Could Look Cool!
"It certainly could! I'd like to see the results if you do this."
Of Course! I Would Be Happy To Show You!
*They keep flapping their hands excitedly*
Merry keeps smiling, it was nice to see them so happy.
"Actually, would you like any of my old clothes to practice on? I'm not sure that we're the same size, but practice is practice, and I've got more than I use."
That Would Be Lovely, Thank You So Much!
*They beam, excitedly*
"I'll have to remember to bring some over then," they nod, "And let me know if you want any magical assistance, I can always use fun little projects."
Will Do!
*They notice their flapping hands, and stop abruptly, their smile wavering a bit*
Ah, Sorry - I Did Not Notice I Was Doing That
"Why should you be sorry for that?" She blinks, "It's cute, and it's clearly part of how you express excitement and joy. Knowing that you're happy makes me happy too."
Oh well That's new.
Echo, how long has there been a snake here?
@kaleidoscopic-castles (Merry)
I Just Found Him Actually. He, Uh, Is Eldritch? And. Sorta Used To Be My Dad? But Now He Has No Memories And Is Very Feral. And. Cannot Understand English.
*Alam is happily curled around Echo's shoulders as a grey snake with spines and too many eyes. And a few fins. He seems curious about Merry but not enough to move*
"Well... that is certainly different than I expected him to be." She frowns, and waves a hand across her eyes to create a magical lens to look at him through. "I might not be religious, but uh. Well, I'm sure you've been filled in on the stories by now."
They shrug.
"But, if he's feral now then there's no point in worrying about his past yet."
Mmm. When Talking To Him In Eldritch He Kind Of Talks Like An Excitable Dog? I Think He Might Be Able To Recover But Right Now He Is Still... In Emergency Mode I Guess
*Alam wiggles a little, getting comfortable*
I Doubt His Memories Will Ever Return Though, From What He Has Been Like Thus Far. I Guess I Would Have To Ask Someone Who Knows The Mind Better To Know For Sure
"Oh dear..." she nods absently. "Hmm. I should work on a spell that lets me talk in Eldritch, I get the feeling that's more than just learning a language..."
Yeah, It Is... A Whole Thing. You Need To Have A Sort Of... Metaphysical Set Of Vocal Chords Kind Of Thing I Think. It Feels Like It At Least. And That Is Assuming It Does Not Hurt Your Ears To Hear, Which It Does With A Lot Of People, Sadly.
*They sigh, softly*
Very Inconvenient For All Involved
"Yeah, that's a good point..." they tap their fingers on their arm. "I'd probably need to involve some sort of filter to prevent that too. Not something I can do on the fly, by the sounds of it."
Yeah. Definitely Not Convenient, But Very Few Things Are. Ah Well. I Appreciate The Thought, At Least
"Well, I'm sure Eppy would be able to help if you asked him," she says, "He's better with mind things anyway. In the meantime..." they reach out a hand for Alam to sniff if he wanted. "Is there anything you need that I can help with?"
*Alam boops her hand with his nose gently, his tongue flicking out to scent the air, as snakes are known to do.*
I Have No Idea, Honestly. I Guess Uh... Help Stop Cronus From Finding Out About Him? I Get That He Means Well But. You Know. It Is My And Nems Choice If We Forgive Alam Or Not, And Not Cros.
"I have nothing but respect for His Majesty," she begins, "But what he doesn't know won't hurt him. He won't hear from me, at least, not unless he pulls it from my head."
Merry strokes Alam's head gently.
Thank You...
*Alam leans into her hand, clearly happy to have positive attention*
Heh, He Acts A Lot Like A Puppy Right Now, Just Curious But Cautious, And Excited By Positive Attention. I Guess He Is Getting Used To Being In A Safe Enviroment. People Being Gentle Is A Novel Concept To Him
"Getting used to that is good." they smile softly, continuing to pet him. "Are you sure you're good on like, places for him to sleep and such?"
Knowing How Instinct Will Likely Affect Him, He Will Probably Want To Nap In A Cuddle Pile While He Gets Used To This Place, So Yeah, Pretty Much.
*Alam chirrups softly. He seems to like the pets*
"Alright." They nod. "So, aside from this, how have you been?"
I Have Been Alright, I Think. It Is... New, Having People Who Like Me Around That I Can Just... Talk To. I Have Been Experimenting With Outfits, As Well. I Re-Found Lost And. Well, Lost And Found, And Nobody Ever Takes Anything From There, So I Have Just Been Trying On Whatever Seems Nice. It Is Kind Of Fun.
*They smile, slightly. It's a little nervous, but they're clearly doing better than they were.*
