Ordinary People Are Clearing The Rubble Of A Children Hospital "Ohmatdit" Today In Kyiv, July 8th, 2024.

The photos from the liberated towns and villages around Kyiv are a chilling sight. Civillians shot dead in the back of the head, hands tied behind their backs, killed in a kneeling position. Bodies with marks of torture on them. These are no “civillian casualities” but premeditated mass executions. In Bucha the invaders shot every man 16-60 y.o. they found. In Motyzhyn they took the family of the local mayor to a ravine, shot everyone, and burried them there.

Putin didn`t do that. Someone`s father, husband, boyfriend, son did that.

I just thought about caseoh screaming kitty when I first saw him like this so. KITTYYYY 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

Just a normal Monday morning in Ukraine:

- a nation wide attack at night with russian drones and missiles

- over 40 missiles in the morning, with many explosions in Kyiv, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Sloviansk, Kramatorsk

- russians have damaged a children’s hospital in Kyiv. Not just any hospital - this is Okhmadyt, one of the best hospitals in the country, and this how it looks right now:

That’s very close to where I live, by the way

- There are at least 11 injured people in Kyiv, the number may increase when the debris is cleared

y'know, it genuinely breaks my heart when i see how some writers treat their readers - and i think we, as a fanfiction community, don't talk enough about it

barking orders at readers, treating reblogs and feedback as some kind of currency they are obligated to pay for interacting with our work, having meltdowns because a text didn't do as well as suspected, calling people out for not requesting in the right and correct way™ - i see it around way too often

on our way to remind everyone that writers are people, not content spitting machines, we forget too easily that readers also are people, not tools to stroke our ego or a source of free and easy serotonin

:/

I`ve realized that my gorgeous mutuals that are not Ukrainian probably don`t really get my posts about the air alarm sirens. You gotta hear it to really get it. So here is what I have to listen to every day, usually several times a day. I`ve already developed a strong Pavlovian response to the first note of this sweet sound - swearing loudly and wishing Russian people various misfortunes 

If heroes are supposed to help those in need, comfort the distressed and protect the vulnerable, then Tomura Shigaraki deserves the title of the greatest hero. Not because he had the highest ranking or saved the most lives or was the "goodest person" but because he did that shit. He gave a place to the disenfranchised he kept them safe and fed to the best of his ability and fought for their happiness. Not out of want for fame or glory. Not even because of some grand sense of altruisim. But because he saw the league as people, as his friends.

In spite of AFO's schemes, in spite of hero society's apathy, in spite of the fucking narrative both in universe and in our lives, Tomura Shigaraki was a hero. And even when he failed he never stopped trying.

Tomura Shigaraki is the greatest hero in the series.

adult animation appreciation post bc we've got some good shows lately

Bojack Horseman

a lot of us know it and love it, but for the ones who never got around to it, PLEASE watch it at some point in your life. it has so many good storylines centered around depression, addiction, sexism, repercussions of child abuse, and the daily struggles of living in this messed up world that we all know and can relate to. it'll punch you in the gut with some of the most unique storytelling you'll see in your life

Tuca & Bertie

created by the lead character designer of Bojack, this show may seem like a spinoff from the look but it isn't in the slightest. created and starring amazing women and letting women be funny in their own unique way that feels so genuine and following the story of these two crazy bird friends, I cannot tell you the emotional rollercoaster this one took me on. our mains struggle with anxiety and sexual harassment, with some great queer rep, and the stories are so fun and inventive that you can't help but have a blast

Final Space

I could talk about this show for DAYS, but I already have in this post so I won't go on a massive rant rn. it may look like a normal little scifi comedy show at the beginning, but this show'll blow you away with plot for days. if you want an action show that has consistent storylines, here ya go. it's so heartfelt, and it has stories revolving around coping with loss and loneliness by building new connections and new families, and it rips your heart out while leaving you shook over how great the animation and the soundtrack is

Castlevania

this one is insane. it is super gorey and violent with tons of swearing, but if you like that stuff you'll love this one. vampires and action with some stunning animation drags you in quickly, and the plotline is actually really good and you'll end up feeling for the characters so hard. their struggles are so investing and even if there's blood every second, it still manages to hook you quickly and wanna know what happens next. still haven't seen the new season yet, but I bet it's great

Primal

created by Genndy Tartakovsky, the legend behind Samurai Jack, so you already know this one is good. it's a short miniseries but whoo boy is it good. the animation is so nice, and this one is so unique. following the story of a caveman and a dinosaur becoming unlikely companions after loss, there is no dialogue. that makes it such a unique experience and it gets so emotional with some pure raw emotions that just crush you

The Midnight Gospel

the newest addition to the family, created by Pendleton War, the genius behind Adventure Time, this one messed me up in ways that I can't even put into words yet. it's an animated podcast with crazy trippy animation behind it and holy shit it is so unique. it takes time to process everything going on, but once in you get in the flow of it it hits you with emotions. following a guy who goes into a simulator to different worlds to interview people for his spacecast, expect for some great discussions of the struggles of hoping, coping with loss, and meditation. take your time with this one, it is so beautiful and funny

adult western animation is finally swinging up, and these are only some of the good ones. thought it would be good to advertise how not adult animation is ugly and just gross humor all the time, because people are finally telling stories that only adults can understand and relate to and feel, and I for one am absolutely here for it
