Is There An Update Im Missing???

An injured/ill/exhausted character rouses partially from their much-needed sleep, giving a faint questioning muzzy murmur, but is readily soothed back into restfulness by a companion's sotto voce reassurances- 'Shh, sleep now, you're safe, I'm right here, rest easy, shh.'

Anyway, daily reminder from a culturally isolated Romani person.

Gypsy does not mean wanderer.

It literally means ‘people from egypt’ or similar, as europeans believed Romani people were from Egypt. It has become known similar to nomad due to how our ancestors have been forced to be nomadic due to racism and ostracization, but it is a SLUR.

Romani people are STILL being forcibly sterilized.

Romani people are STILL being forced into ghettos.

Romani people are still facing violence and danger in countless European countries- and recently, I’ve seen the beginnings of the extremes in the United States.

Have a little fucking respect and DON’T USE A SLUR THAT’S BEEN USED FOR CENTURIES AGAINST US.

And for the love of whatever’s up there, ESPECIALLY do not use it to describe your witchcraft. It is playing on the ‘magic gypsy’ trope, and is EXTREMELY insulting.

non romani people, please reblog this.

mae came into existence the same year jason todd died and he didn’t come back to life until after she left continuity. this means i must personally kill jason todd so my wife can come back to dc comics

i regret to inform you its not as disrespectful as the vatican itself has done 😔

(also saints aren't catholic-exclusive???)

I like when people like a character so way too much that it transcends even self shipping or kinning and becomes more of a patron saint that you pray to type of deal

Why is Axel like this?

@dragons-locator

oh your pronouns are he/they?

well that’s mathematically incorrect becuase you can still simplify the fraction since both sides have “he”

making your pronouns technically 1/ty

lmao it's the lack of challenge trackers

you're the only one in the market

Hey, Flufftober Admin here 🥰 thanks for your ask the other day! I love your blog and I've just queued it to give it a shout-out!

Also, another event to add to your list: @12daysofchristmas - it doesn't run for an entire month, but maybe it's still something to be added?

Will definitely give your blog a follow 😘

Thanks so much! (Somehow, barely three days after starting this blog, I'm already at 50 followers...)

There definitely seems to be a lot of interest in keeping track of challenges that don't follow my arbitrary rules of monthly-prompt-a-day-multifandom-challenges, so...

How about this everyone? For now, I'm not going to add anything that doesn't fit those requirements to my active/inactive challenges lists, but shout outs are absolutely welcome and I might reblog things from different sorts of challenges now and then. I'll tag those things #not monthly, so people can search for them easily once the blog gets a little bigger.

On that note, shout out to @12daysofchristmas (prompts are up for Dec 13-24, 2024), @the-whumpers-soiree (a whump event without a timeline), @novella-november (a word count challenge without prompts), and @novlr (which also has a November word count challenge).
