guys, i hope you understand that calling mithrun "grandpa" is ableist. i know some people do this because they relate to him, i truly understand that, as someone who's 30 and feels very old sometimes. but this is not a type of joke that should be common in the fandom, repeated at every corner. about physically disabled guy who doesn't even count as "middle aged".

Saw someone describe Mithrun as a "Disabled right wing veteran who is convinced hes just as capable as he was in his prime" and also that he would "complain about immigrants" and I'm very confused.

Where did this type of interpretation for Mithrun came from? There's nothing about him that indicates he's "right wing" or any more racist than the average elf and due to his condition he literally isn't able to care about that.

The sentiment of "Mithrun is a racist grandpa" seems to have gone from an absurdist joke based on him saying a "slur" into a real interpretation of the character??

First of all he's 37 in tallman years he is not a grandpa, I know it was a joke based on him being rough and the fact he's an elf (185 years old) but I'm starting to think some people really think he's grandpa age? He isn't, he's about as old as Senshi and Chilchuck, Senshi is actually older than him being 47 in tallman years if he's a grandpa they are too, it's going from funny way to call him into ableist territory pretty fast.

Second he doesn't have the ability to be actively racist anymore, racism implies a sense of superiority compared to someone else from another race, which all the elves have. (althought he still benefits passively from this racism as an elf even if he doesn't actively feel it) Let's go thru his anime appearance and what happens.

Kabru shows up and tries to speak to the elves and convince them to try his way. The elves think the short lived people are all ignorant and treat them condescendingly, even Tansu because they live more than any other race

Then they go from "Short lived people are too stupid to know anything" into "Oh my god this poor baby come on have some cake :)" which is ALSO condescending, nobody is taking Kabru or the governor seriously because they're short lived. These elves are RACIST they're treating Kabru like he's a confused kid "come eat some cake and let the adults talk"

Mithrun is the only authority figure that wants to listen to Kabru

He is a shell of who he used to be, right now he ONLY cares about defeating the demon, if there is a chance this kid (who has had experience with dungeons before) knows another way to get him what he wants he will listen to it, cause he *doesn't* have the capability of being like the other elves.

This doesn't mean he's anti-racist, it means he literally doesn't care, he lets the other elves mistreat Kabru in every other scene unless it has something to do with defeating the dungeon, cause he *doesn't* care. He's not gonna complain about immigrants cause he doesn't care he's not gonna treat short lived people like kids cause he doesn't care, he cannot care, he lost the ability to care.

Past Mithrun was the one that was both racist classicist and a bitch, but that part of him is basically dead.

He said the slur because they asked him not because he thinks is appropriate, the other elves aren't 'casual racists' and him the 'real racist' they are all just as bad he just doesn't have the "desire to be socially acceptable" I guess, they asked, he answered and that was it.

If it would make it easier try to think about it in terms of real life bigotry and how people keep going "you can't even say (...) because of the woke" they aren't any less racist they just worry about being socially acceptable racists.

Anyway, please don't just repeat what other people say as jokes as if they're true especially when you're saying it about a disabled character. Acting like he's worse than his peers because he doesn't have the capability of being socially aware is ableism, calling him a grandpa because he has had a rough life that made him look disheveled is ableism, saying he's past his prime is also ableist considering he learned how to fight *after* he became disabled.

Correct me if anything I said was wrong but I really got peeved after reading several people misinterpreting Mithrun as some sort of bigoted old man who must be taken to a retirement home as if he just causes trouble for people who care for him.

Lost in the Shadows of War: A Cry for Help from Gaza

I’m Tired, but I Still Need Your Help 💔

I don’t even know how to start this anymore. I’ve shared my story so many times, hoping someone would hear me hoping for just a little help. But the truth is, I’m tired. Tired of asking. Tired of feeling invisible. Tired of feeling like my pain doesn’t matter.

I lost everything in Gaza 🍉 my home, my safety, my future. I’ve tried to stay strong, to hold on to hope. But how do you keep fighting when every door stays closed?

I need help urgent help. I started a new campaign because I have no other choice. My goal is to raise $15,000 to evacuate or rebuild some part of my life. Without support, I don’t know how much longer I can keep going.

I didn’t want to write this. I didn’t want to beg again. But this is my reality. If you can donate, please do. If you can share my campaign, please don’t hesitate. Every bit of support gives me a reason to keep trying.

Please… don’t let this be the end of my voice.

[Hanfu · 漢服]Chinese Tang Dynasty(618–907AD)Traditional Crown & Hanfu In Cdrama 【国色芳华/Flourished Peony】

♦ 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿: 𝗭𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗮𝗾𝗶𝗻/张雅钦 as Li Youzhen (李幼贞) “县主/County Princess/Lord”

【Historical Artifacts Reference 】:

▶The crown and hair ornaments unearthed from the tomb of Li Chui,/李倕, a fifth-generation granddaughter of Emperor Gaozu of Tang China

2.Gold necklace inlaid with pearls and gemstones, Late Sui Dynasty

Excavated in 1957 from the tomb of Li Jingxun, Xi'an, Shaanxi,China.

"Flourished Peony" (《国色芳华》) is a really cool Chinese drama that dives deep into the Tang Dynasty. It takes a close look at the fashion, makeup, and etiquette of that time. The show’s team did a ton of research, to restore Tang Dynasty artifacts to get the hanfu and makeup just right. You can really see the effort they put into making everything look authentic and true to the era.

If you're into Tang Dynasty Hanfu,Makeup , or the whole vibe of that period, I highly recommend watching this drama. It's a great way to get a glimpse of ancient Chinese culture through a really well-done romantic drama. ---------------

【Debate on the Interpretation and Wearing of the Li Chui Tomb Crown Ornaments】

The crown ornaments unearthed from the tomb of Li Chui (李倕) are still a topic of debate due to the fact that the pieces were found scattered, making the exact method of wearing unclear. The version currently displayed in the museum is a reconstruction based on the collaborative efforts of Chinese and German experts. However, some scholars in China have a different view, arguing that this ornament may not necessarily be a "crown."

Fwe can refer to the perspective of the author(@左丘萌) of Chinese Beauty and Adornments: The Tang Dynasty Daughters (《中国妆束：大唐女儿行》), who offers an alternative interpretation of how this crown ornament was likely worn（If anyone are interested, you can save the picture and translate it through the translator）

the right is the author (@左丘萌)'s restoration result and analysis process of the relics:

Gotta remind myself not to overdo it when looking at beautiful art. There’s this special golden zone where you’re the most inspired and motivated by other people’s art but it’s so easy to slip into overwhelm and get demotivated :(

Please help Hazem!

Hello, I've made posts encouraging donations to Hazem's (@albardawillhazem95) campaign in the past, but unfortunately the previous host of his campaign has kept all of the raised money for himself. This was obviously devastating for Hazem, who has already lost his wife, children and home to the ongoing brutal attacks that Israel is carrying out on the Palestinian people.

Thankfully, Hazem has found a trustworthy individual to host a new campaign for him!

If you have donated to Hazem in the past, I am asking you now to request a refund from his old campaign here, and to consider donating that amount to his new campaign!

Hazem is a wonderful person, and I feel very lucky to know him. It is important that we show him he is not alone, and that we are standing with him in support while he rebuilds his life.

Hazem has been vetted and verified by Mohammed Ayesh through gaza-evacuation-funds in the past (link here), and his new campaign can be found here.

I was able to make a $10 USD donation- can anyone match me? Please share this post and please, please consider donating to Hazem! Let's work together to help him as much as we can!

Two new areas on Honey. I'm finally almost done with this island. It's been over a year since I started! Sometimes I want to play this game and then other times I don't. Getting back into it has been fun though.

Brown eyes are so iconic and beautiful

Hi! I was wondering if you knew any stores which sell hanfu in natural fabrics, as well as support independent businesses? I’d like to buy a set and some accessories but the places that I have found are mostly on wish and amazon and I’d rather not buy from unethical business.

Hi! Thanks for asking.

There are a lots on Taobao, where most hanfu shops are - I am not sure what is your budget, what style you are looking for, or how long you are willing to wait for the production. Do you do silk? Or cotton only? 

@ziseviolet has a masterlist on buying hanfu, but that list of brand is definitely not conclusive. We both tagged our shops in our post or at least leave the name of the shop in the description. If you see something you like you could check out the store (although most of the time that particular sets would be sold out).

This is the story of my four-year-old sister whose only crime is to be born in northern Gaza. I hope it will touch you, because I don’t know what to say anymore. I don’t know what to share about our situation anymore.

I have lowered my campaign goal because I have lost hope. I wanted to complete it before March when a new semester will begin so I could register for university again and focus on nothing but my studies. I wanted to rebuild our home so we would avoid the years and years of displacement we went through last time it was destroyed. Maybe I dreamed too big. Maybe my life isn’t meant to be rebuilt.

There is now less than $7,000 left to reach the goal.

Can we please achieve that at least? I won’t have a home, it’s okay. I’ll study in a tent, but at least I’ll be able to somewhat focus if our needs are met. Please, I’m not angry if you can’t donate. I understand. But please at least share, it helps a lot too

help buy solar panels for the gaza refugee camp!

hello everybody! thanks to your hard work, we were recently able to meet our goals for two previous campaigns: one for ahmed, and one for shimaa (proof of donation post coming soon!). after the ceasefire was declared, the people of gaza are in a state of uncertainty - and the people of ahmed's local refugee camp are no exception. while some still had houses that remained standing (though with significant damage) and were able to return, many now are forced to live in continued displacement as their homes were completely demolished.

due to the seriously damaged state of gaza's infrastructure, the refugee camp that we work with has extremely restricted access to electricity. many people have to walk a long ways to charge their devices, and each charge costs a fee of around $3 each. many people in the refugee camp use their devices to continue working remotely to support their families (like shimaa), contact their family if they are spread out across the gaza strip or abroad, and to document their lives through the genocide. ahmed himself depends on electricity to stay in contact with us and with the people of the refugee camp in order to respond to any urgent situations that arise at all hours of the day.

as such, ahmed believes it would be beneficial for the people of the refugee camp to set up their own solar panels, both to reduce the expenses that the people of the camp have to pay and to give them more independence.

we are setting a goal of $1600 for this project.

the easiest way to donate is through our link, which will redirect you to our paypal page:

Help buy solar panels to power Gaza refugee camp

Help qquwq reach their goal by donating or sharing with your friends.

(alternatively, you can use paypal.me/qquwq to donate or send money via simk’s P/P email: kuuhaiyu@gmail.com. you do not need a paypal account to donate to this campaign.)

how it works:

per ahmed’s request, simk and i are collecting money on his behalf. the money that is collected in the paypal account will be sent via wire transfer to ahmed as soon as we meet the fundraising goal. it generally takes 3-5 days to transfer and for ahmed to get notification that he can withdraw the money. ahmed texts us as soon as the money is transferred and put to use.

ahmed will take videos and photos to document the process of buying and setting up the solar panels for the camp. i will share selected videos and photos on my blog so that you all can see what we can do with our collective efforts!

a small note here: to preserve the privacy and dignity of the displaced, and to avoid issues with the tumblr staff, i will be careful with what i choose to show publicly. ahmed will also refrain from publishing his own photos on social media for this same reason. if you have any other specific requests you would like to see as proof of your donation going to good use, please DM me.

please help us complete this campaign! things are still extremely difficult for the people in gaza. i can't even truthfully say that they are no longer under active threat as the israeli army continuously ignores the ceasefire deal. this will be a small, but crucial step in helping the people of the refugee camp persevere after the genocide has taken so much from them.
