sad reality of the fanfic-to-published work economy is that the weirdest people are willing to do it. that's why there's now hundreds of shitty no plot cishet hate-to-love enemies-to-lovers books that are ex reylo fanfic. and it's not even good. that's because the people who wrote book-quality steve/bucky and kirk/spock fic are too normal to think to themselves "i should get this porn published". they're too busy working in local government offices
Sorry for blowing up ur blog ur Naruto tag is gold
skjdfh you're fine
Sometimes people will hate a parent-type character in a way that's so far from actual canon that you can tell it's not the character they really hate but Their Dad from Real Life. Which is fair but really annoying when you're trying to post about The Character
people dont really read this anymore so ill skip that. THIS IS URGENT. AHMED NEEDS DONATIONS SO HIM AND HIS MOM CAN SURVIVE. Please dont give up on him!!!!!
this is his gofundme. Please donate at least 115 SEK!!!!! KEEP THE EXCHANGE RATE IN MIND thats only 10$!
this is his chuffed
As the winter holiday season approaches, please spare a thought for those in Gaza who are enduring freezing conditions, tent flooding, starvation, family separations, and more. 10 dollars won't bankrupt many of us, but even that small donation can be a lifeline for families facing such incredible hardship.
One such family is Haya's (@familyrantise2003). Haya was a nursing student in Gaza before last year, but she and her family were displaced, like most Gazans, by the IOF's bombs and evacuation orders. Now Haya, her mother, and her sister are struggling to make ends meet in Egypt, while the rest of their family is still under siege in Gaza.
Haya needs our help now to ensure her family's survival, and one day to reunite with them. They are struggling just to feed themselves, let alone to get expensive weatherproof supplies or to secure a future for themselves.
This campaign is severely underfunded, with only $300 raised in over a month. Please share & donate. Vetted here by @bilal-salah0
Hi, I'm Camille Testa from Saint Paul and I'm raising funds for my friend Haya's family in… Camille Testa needs your support for Help Haya's
I need you all to know that it's been a full day since the last donation. Please donate if you can, share this post if you can't donate.
haya is at just $526 so far. please keep sharing & donating
probably not a great sign for capitalist hegemony when even the facebook crowd can't take this seriously

It fascinates me that Alistair gets lumped in with the “Chantry Boys” in discussions about Dragon Age Archetypes because it’s just. Very untrue. But it’s an idea the text actually pushes you to connect with in a way I think is purposeful.
This guy introduces us to the lore of the Blight by asking if we want “the chantry version or the truth.” If we ask if they’re not the same thing he smirks and says with some attitude “they rarely are.”
He sums up his religious beliefs saying he’s “not especially” Andrastian, and that “believes in the Maker well enough.”
He’s actually LESS religious than Zevran, who describes himself as fully Andrastian with a regular prayer routine in optional conversation branches.
The things that people use to categorize Alistair’s supposed “Chantry Boy” boy status all have non-religious motivations.
For example, the big one, his virginity, is because 1. He’s nervous around women, which is the gender he finds most attractive 2. He’s actually the youngest Party Member, being freshly 20 years old. 3. And most importantly, he correlates sex with love and was brought up to see them as requiring the other and so feels uncomfortable having sex without what he sees as “true love.” And he just hasn’t been in love yet.
Another example would be his reaction to the Urn of Sacred Ashes. He reacts with wonder akin to Leliana where many others react with a contrasting blasee attitude. Even the Andrastian Zevran.
But you gotta read between the lines here. Zevran doesn’t hold remains as sacred. He’s an assassin. So his prophet’s body is in that urn. It’s a body. The least remarkable and most mundane, perhaps even the hardest to swallow, thing she could ever be to Zevran is a corpse. Kinda takes the wonder out of faith for an assassin if she dies and rests just like any one else.
But Alistair is fascinated, in awe. 1, probably because the Chantry he doubts so much now has some kinda proof that something they said was true, unlike what he previously believed. 2, Alistair is WAY more patriotic than he is religious and we gotta remember that the Fereldans pride themselves on Alamari heritage, and Andraste was probably the most powerful and influential Alamari person to ever live. 3, he’s actually a giant history buff. He info dumps history on you often, with the memorized readings of whatever question you ask. If asked about the King and Loghain before the betrayal at Ostagar, he shows respect for Loghain’s service in the War for Independance, and knowledge of his tactics. And when speaking about his time in training with the chantry as a child, he says the education was actually what he liked most. And a lot of his gifts are things like replica soldiers, Fereldan historical things, maps, (along with his interest in magical artifacts but that’s for another day.) etc. Given his patriotism and love of learning history, yeah, the Urn is a big deal to him.
I have more things I could say, but really, I just find Alistair to be one of the most misrepresented by fandom characters. His character has a TON of subtext that challenges you to look beyond what others represent him as and the low opinion he holds of himself.
The perception of him as Andrastian and devout is one pushed on him by people like Morrigan (and others to some degree) who fights Alistair more like a straw man representing society than she engages with him as himself. She sees him as a Templar even though he left the order specifically because they abused him And he fundamentally disagreed with their practices, The Harrowing specifically being what pushed him to fight to leave.
There are, textually, two ways to interpret Alistair. Through face value aesthetics and symbolism pointing to association with the Chantry and by observing other’s opinion of him. Or through actually listening to what he says and watching what he does.
And it’s just interesting to me that a lot of people get caught in the trap of what he represents aesthetically rather than who he is.
obligatory complaining about how blocked tags work
I encourage anyone who wonders things like "Why does the DPRK hate the United States so much?" or "Why would the United States lie about North Korea?" to, well, first of all, cultivate a sense of empowered investigative curiosity about the world around them, but secondly, to just go to the wikipedia page for The Korean War and check under the "civilian casualties" section.
actually here I'll just drop a screenshot
I want you try to envision that number. The population of the DPRK in 1954 is cited by various Western sources as being between 7.7 million - 10.2 million, however more contemporary sources seem to lean towards the larger number (7.7 million was estimated by the CIA in 1954)
If we say 10 million people, with 1.5 million casualties. That's 15% of the post-war population. 15%. That's a little more frequent than 1 in 7. Imagine one out of every 7 people you know being killed. This study estimates that the median individual has a social network of about 470 people. Rounding down, 15% of that is 70 people. Imagine 70 people out of everyone you know personally being killed. 15% is massive. It's a genuinely sickening and horrific figure.
In comparison, in WWII, according to Wikipedia the UK had a casualty rate of .94% of their 1939 population, and the USSR had a casualty rate closer with 13.7% of their 1940 population.
The United States is a hulking behemoth of death and cruelty and genocide. It is a machine dedicated to one thing, which is the extraction of power and profit at the cost of any amount of human life. Like all bourgeois imperialist powers, it is a mechanism for the transmutation of innocent human life directly into political-economic power.
Moreover, The United States of America must be destroyed.

No matter how much you hate the US it can never be enough
this is also why you keep seeing those meme pictures of South Korean grandmas going "there are no good U.S. presidents." A lot of younger chuds might salivate at the thought of being a USA colony and a lot of rightoid establishment might sell out the South Korean public to line their pockets but do not get it twisted; there is a sizeable intergenerational movement to get these fuckers out of the country, regardless of how pie-in-the-sky that goal is.
