Once more thinking about how fucking depressed Marcille looks in the chapter opening when she's getting that letter from Falin for the first time in four years
im a farcillehead but i do think laios and marcille love each other just as much as falin and marcille and it's very sweet i have a lot of feelings about it
one frustrating element of the new content bans on gumroad and patreon is that they're doing it to stay in line with their payment processors' policies, which themselves are in place to stay in line with FOSTA-SESTA.
which is a law passed in the united states, a country of which i am not a citizen and in which i do not live. i was legally prohibited from voting for or against FOSTA-SESTA, but because the platforms and payment providers i use are based there, i am expected to comply with it anyway.
and the tiktok situation shows us that any platform based outside the US can and will be either blocked from operating within it or forcibly divested from its foreign owners.
this is just another facet of american empire, by the way. it's more than bombs and guns and client states: it's that the US leverages its dominance over technology and finance to set policy for, effectively, the entire world.

Good morning, you have to be the thing that saves you
Just a reminder that Free Palestine doesn't end with a ceasefire.
Gaza is in rubble and will have to be rebuilt. Gaza would still be a concentration camp where there's a lack of clean water and food allowed in. The west bank would still be filled with settlers and settler based violence.
Gaza had the mean age of 18 before this attack. People lost their everything, you don't just recover from that.
A Free Palestine ends once there is a true ceasefire. One the apartheid "state" of israel is no more.
Once Palestinians can go from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, Palestine will truly be free. Edit: Here are some learning sources

re: wyll's lack of a sex scene
"its nice that theres an ace option" there isnt. you still have sex, larian just fades to black after 3 seconds of fully-clothed kissing. if you dont want your character to fuck, you can say no. if you dont want to say no but for some reason still dont want to see anything, the game has a nudity censor option
"he was just lowest priority because, out of all the romanceable companions, he puts the lowest priority on sex" lower priority than haarlep? than the drow twins? emperor? the woman who owns his soul gets full-frontal but his own scene cuts to black before he even takes his shirt off. larian puts in the content they think players would enjoy, and seemingly just saw the option to fuck wyll as unimportant to players
"it just wouldnt mesh with his character, hes too romantic" okay but he literally does fuck offscreen in his romance route, so it would in fact be in character for him. also sex isnt inherently impure. this is a less sex-positive take than the generally accepted one in the mormon church (i would know, im exmo). have you never heard the euphemisms "making love" and "intimacy" before? this is a weird take and youre weird for having it
do i, as a lesbian, personally want to see his cock and balls? no. do i think it Says Something when larian just assumes that no one wants horny wyll content in a famously horny game? yes

“No. Nononono, no. Do not tell me you left yourself a black eye on purpose — you have so many meetings with foreign diplomats this week, Laios, why in the world would you—”
“It’s not every day you get to participate in a dragon courtship duel, okay?” He whines, shoulders slumping as he starts to pout over his food. “Falin’s healing never leaves any scars, and I wanted to have something to show for it.”
Falin frowns. “Aw, Laios… I would have left some if you asked.”
“Really?”
Marcille grips her tighter. “What? No. Stop smiling. No! We’re not doing this! We’re not talking about letting injuries scar as if it’s some heartwarming sibling exchange!” She’s shaking Falin now. “What do you mean you had a courtship duel, what the hell happened?!”

wanting to wrangle up the "farcille is problematic age gap" people and point them at the frieren/fern shippers like. now THERES an unambiguously familial relationship where the elf has raised the human from literal childhood. go. shoo. leave our 50 year old virgin strugglegirl alone
i wanted to show everyone my favorite tiktok
the creator of this tiktok, zainah.mb, has many family members in palestine who have been martyred. at least 37, in fact. if you would like to help her out financially, she runs a hijab shop called modest behavior, and sells sister minnie merch. here's a link to her paypal as well.
as far as i know, she doesn't live in palestine, but she is palestinian. consider supporting her
You’re right and you should say it
every single time israel fires on people picking up food or humanitarian aid it truly cuts me to the core. obviously it's equally horrible to fire on civilians escaping the invasion or to bomb hospitals or refugee camps or people just living in their own homes. but there's something so brutal about hitting people right when they have gathered for life-saving aid. by firing on them there the IOF have set up an impossible dilemma where starving people have to choose between death by bullet or death by hunger. they have left no room for palestinians to choose life. i do not know how my government or any other government can just sit by and watch while innocent people continue to be gunned down for the crime of existing in israel's eyeline.
here is a list of fundraisers for families trying to leave gaza. this post also has links for places to help. this is the irish palestinian solidarity campaign website. finally this is a post with the esim donation guide. i know most of you have probably seen all of these links and more but i just need to do something.
this is very important
