Welcome To My Blog

Hello and welcome to my Tumblr blog. My name is Rita.

I write a lot of classic rock fanfiction, mostly about Iron Maiden and Led Zeppelin, my two favorite bands of all time. A good chunk of that fanfiction surrounds Robert Plant, who has held my heart hostage for the past three years. But I write about other members as well.

I also love pirates. Particularly Our Flag Means Death. I have become hopelessly in love with Edward Teach (Taika Waititi) and his big beautiful brown eyes.

This blog is mainly for me to thirst over my favorite band members/fictional characters.

I have too much fic and art to back up here and since I have lost count of how many times I have impulsively deleted and rejoined here, I'll just leave the links down below:

The owner of this blog is Jewish, and unequivocally supports the Jewish community. Jews, whether those in Israel or the diaspora, are safe and welcome here. Antisemitism will never be tolerated on this page. With that said, I also will not tolerate Islamophobia, anti-Arab, or anti-Palestinian racism. This blog supports co-existence and two-state solution. If this is an issue for you, do not even bother looking at my blog.

Israel: over 1/5 of the country (insane considering how tiny it is) turned out to protest for peace constantly since 2023, getting arrested and facing police brutality, overt hostility from Bibi and co, delivering aid to gazans and trying to get messages to the hostages to give them hope

Westoid “activists:” umm ackshually that doesn’t count unlike the protests that most of us aren’t participating in (which were often violent and even resulted in at least one death), we hardly donate but don’t you dare call obvious scambots scams, and we’re obviously helping Palestinians. In spirit. Through social media memes :) kys zios :)

[rosebramblewolf]

actual palestinians: hey western activists can you stop doing that we actually hate hamas they are trying to you know. kill us

western activists:

western activists: anyway,

[leonardo-nierman]

they like terrorism so they see no issue in equating Palestinians with terrorists, which aside from being insane is just the racism of low expectations. Plus they get to watch those terrorists engage in violence while they watch from the comfort of their phone screens while sipping a nice latte

THISSSSSSS!!!!!!! curate your own internet experience. block them because they’re allergic to peanut butter, block them because they have what you don’t, block them because they dislike your favorite food, block them because you don’t like their layout, block them because you can.

blocking is NOT a personal attack against someone. it’s you curating your own internet experience and catering for your comfort, and you have every right to do that.

you, yes, you!!! you CANNOT tell other people to censor themselves for your own comfort and personal likings. you CANNOT tell them what they can or can’t post. you CANNOT tell them what they can or can’t write. you CANNOT tell them what they can or can’t draw. BUT you CAN block them for whatever reason.

that block button is offered to you for free. use. it.

The thing about writing Ed as Jewish is that on one hand we've traditionally had an obligation to honor our parents almost no matter what, and on the other hand we have an obligation to defend ourselves. Like literally our texts tell us to take care of ourselves and, separately, that if someone comes to kill you, get up early and kill them first.

So while the circumstances would still definitely be traumatic, would Ed feel guilty about prioritizing the obligation to protect yourself and fellow Jews? Would he still see it as an evil act that reflects on his value as a person, or see it as a fulfilled obligation that counts in his favor?

Would he say kaddish for his father?

This just makes me lose it every damn time. He's not even taunting them, he's just letting them know up front that this is gonna get real awkward real fast.

ALSO

This is the scene that made me realize that Izzy is bisexual.

threatening to withhold aftercare as a "punishment" for bratting is insane btw

[strangefreakbitch]

Threatening to withhold aftercare at all is pretty fucked up.

[eternalticklez]

I'd dead ass argue threatening or actually withholding aftercare is abuse. You are actively harming your partners mental health for your own sense of control. It is fucked up and not okay. If you can not handle your partners behavior, safeword.

Safewords are not just useful in an actual scene, they're also useful in taking a step out of a dynamic and saying "hey. I know you're my sub/brat/dom/whatever. But XYZ is making me feel ABC and I need you to stop or I will be (doing a reasonable action, like leaving the house to cool down, or not engaging in the behavior they're presenting you.)" You're allowed to use a safeword in any condition, and when you are in any position in that dynamic. Safewords are not just for subs. Doms use the fucking safeword if you need to please! Yall need to learn how to communicate and lay down reasonable consequences for actions you genuinely don't like.

That feeling when your favourite guy is a SLUT and a WHORE ❤️ 😌

I can’t believe I never realized how attractive Taika was before this show. Season 2 specifically. I mean, I never thought he was a bad-looking guy, it’s just not something I really paid much attention to. But then I started season 2 of OFMD, and had to step back and go “damn…” Now I like… find him like the most attractive man ever.

The antisemitism is actually gonna drive me insane because how many Instagram reels do I have to click “not interested” on before the algorithm stops pushing posts on me about how “isntreal” and “the zios” control the world and you should hate them actually?

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

fandoms would be a lot more peaceful if more people told themselves “okay but it’s fiction and it doesn’t affect me or anybody in real life in any way, shape or form, and I can just block, mute, scroll past it as I please” every time they saw something they didn’t like on the internet

[tulipseason]

all his fans are weak I am the ultimate izzy stan actually. I love izzy. I love thinking about what a pathetic villain he was in S1. I love talking about how awful and cruel he was to ed and stede and acknowledging the full impact of that. I love him being the absolute worst!! I love thinking about him facing the consequences of his actions, it’s delightful. I love him being a fucked up embodiment of toxic masculinity, and then this show saying: well what if the love and softness of the crew was so generous and formidable it could transform that. like what if this sopping wet idiot gets to heal and blossom too because this show is kind, dammit! I love him being wrong over and over and over, and the moment he’s finally right, he dies. I love that we forgive, but we don’t forget. if there’s weight to death there’s weight to life. he is terrible and he is a relic and he is the messy grief and surefire hope that gets passed on through the rest of them

[tulipseason]

that moment in doctor who where the doctor says “everybody lives! just this once, everybody lives!” but it’s ofmd looking you in the eye and saying “everybody heals! just this once, everybody gets a second chance!”
