My entire twitter feed is people in Rafah saying they’re terrified, saying their good byes, and asking us to remember them in our prayers. Rafah is facing a massacre. It’s a genocide. We will not know the number of deaths until the morning.
"It isn't a Otome"
Someone forgot to warn malleus about that
Like I understand we can't go into the MC's backstory too much since they're a player insert. But I wish the characters were more visibly impacted by Yuu and their actions. Like in book 4, I was touched by Ace and Deuce showing up to help you (even though they ended up being too late). It at least felt like Yuu mattered to someone
YES YES YES
My thoughts exactly.
And it ties with how the Fandom tends to overpraise Yuu, like, no? Yuu is not "playing therapist", Yuu's barely having any impact on the story. Y'all need to play some more Otome games if you think that's playing therapist, starting with Mystic Messenger.
But, yeah, I'd love to see more of Yuu's impact on the characters, like, beyond "you saved me once, I'll help you this time". That little bit with Adeuce in Book 4 was so good, seeing people actually caring for Yuu (which is also so fucking rare, like, how many times has that happened?)
Another thing I'd love to see is characters showing Yuu some more respect, Malleus and Lilia and their idea to start decorating Ramshackle without Yuu's permission AHEM. I know we ain't getting any of it from Crowley, but I hoped some of them would be less assholey.
Also, gotta say, for the "famous magicless Prefect", no one seems to be wondering how Yuu's doing without magic. Or how they're doing in general after being thrown into a new world. Yuu's mental health must be inexistent by now

Reminder that the US bombed Iraq a day ago. Reminder that this attack has killed 16 Iraqis, many of whom were civilians. Reminder that Iraq has already suffered enough at the hands of US imperialism, that to this day it’s recovering from the aftermath of being defamed to the world as terrorists, from its cities being destroyed under the guise of “exterminating ISIS” (an echo of Israel decimating Palestine to “exterminate Hamas,” interesting), that the US has so many ulterior motives to continue encroaching upon Iraq that have nothing to do with their seemingly noble rationale, and that it does all this while funding Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians (which are basically doing their dirty work of pushing further in on Arab territory). It’s jarring that this is all happening on a world stage & yet nothing is being done to stop it. Hands off Iraq. Free Palestine. Hands off Iraq. Free Palestine.

If somehow you haven’t seen by now, while the Super Bowl is being aired, Israel is striking Rafah.
The people of Palestine had been told to go there, they were promised it was safe.
And while this is happening, even though earlier several tags on Palestine were trending, only one or two are now.
I haven’t written any posts personally on Palestine myself. I didn’t feel I had anything to add here aside from reblogging and boosting whatever I can but please. We can’t forget Palestine or its people especially now.
This has gone on too long and gone much much too far MANY times and now is when we need to push harder.
Many of the heads of Western countries are either beating around the bush and wasting time, or outright denying the things the Palestinian people don’t have the privilege to ignore. They don’t have the choice to look away from their pain, or the pain of friends, family, neighbors, their country. And even through all of this they’re still trying their damn hardest just to live. And we all need to listen.
So now, especially if you live in a western country like I do, now we step it up a notch. Now is the time if you haven’t already to read up on Palestinian history. Listen to what the people of Palestine are saying. Hold firm on the boycott like never before. Any and every way you can donate, do it. eSIMs, aid, anything that will reach. Save as much evidence as you can. Videos, articles. Don’t let Zionists pretend all of this never happened.
Even if you think there’s nothing you can do, I’m telling you, keep going. Even if you feel you can only give a little, if we all give a little together it becomes much more.
Hit imperialism where it hurts. In the wallet. Follow the BDS instructions, find protests in your area if you can, boost as much information about Palestine as you can find, call your reps, and do not lose hope. The people of Palestine are not dead. They are holding on even through all this and we all owe it to them to do the same.
A Free Palestine will happen in our lifetimes. But it will be hard fought. So go out there and fight hard! The governments can’t hide from their own people forever. The companies can’t bleed cash forever. The people will win. So push until we do. Do not look away. Free Palestine
Israel isnt a country, no.
