Some of you are operating under this weird white savior idea that you’re saving Palestinian culture by mass consuming Palestinian themed items without sensitivity or reason. You’re not saving Palestinian culture by mass buying kuffiyeh print scrunchies or doing Palestinian miku fanart - you preserve Palestinian culture by preserving Palestinians. Palestinians are going to be the ones preserving our culture, just as we have for decades before this escalation. Not you. Please take a step back and actually treat our customs and identity with respect, not just a thing you can take from.
So I know this isn’t our main concern right now but am I the only one who thinks the Akutagawa siblings make really hot vampires lmao
The reads
My mother says that fanfiction doesn’t count as reading because “it isn’t nearly as good as the stuff that’s published. You’re not going to find something online that will win a Booker Prize.” Please reblog if you count fan fiction as reading, or if the fanfiction you’ve read is equally as good as published novels. I want to see the figures.
The problem is that America has beaten down its people for decades and gotten them weak and desperate and now promises a way out, a way to transcend and rise above, through selling out their fellow man. They encourage contempt and hatred as one way ticket to not being included with the masses being death marched to poverty or imprisonment or whatever other bitter end surely awaits the people they’re told are beneath them. An embarrassingly large chunk of white men are just straight up nazis these days as a way to dissociate from the rest of the carnage around them, even if they’re broke and uneducated and from an impoverished background themselves. They’ll vote for and align themselves with anything for a taste of power and control that makes them feel a little less helpless. The same goes for minorities. They’ll punch down if they think it’ll get them somewhere, even if in reality they’re punching sideways. I don’t know what else to say, really. Everybody is so incredibly hateful. We are a loveless, disrespectful nation. We are so spread thin by our government that we would sell each other out in a heartbeat for an ounce of relief. This is what we’ve come to.
It’s not even about Trump at this point. He’s gonna get in office and do whatever he does and it’s gonna be a mess but whatever. This is indicative of deeper problem. This is just the ugly consequence of the already present reality in this country that we all just despise each other. There is no solidarity and there is no love. Trump being in office or not doesn’t change the fact that America is a breeding ground for violent hatred. Trump has given people a shining example of how to give in to the worst parts of your human nature and make it the problem of everyone around them. I don’t even know what we’re supposed to do about that. I don’t know if that’s something we can come back from. And if anything COULD be done about it, Trump certainly wouldn’t do it. Honestly, Kamala probably wouldn’t have either. We are so deeply fucked.
However, I must say, if you voted for Trump, I hope that peace never finds you. Instead, I hope clarity strikes you someday like a clap of lightning and you have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge and guilt of what you’ve done and who you are as a person.
Love yall. Shit is so bleak but the world keeps spinning until it doesn’t, I guess. We can’t count on the government for literally even a shred of progress or hope so just keep up the good fight in your own personal lives. That’s literally the only thing to be done at this point. Stay safe out there. Maybe buy a gun.

I just read an article that said Ares was tge most pathetic greek god.
Let me get that straight.
Ares was the only male greek god that never raped or sexually assaulted any woman in his immortal life.
Ares was the patron god of the Amazons. A feminist community of female warriors was protected by him. Amazons were his loyal daughters.
Ares slew his daughter's rapist and was tried before all of the other gods for homicide.
Ares was the only male greek god that never viewed Aphrodite as a temporary lover, he respected her and loved her for who she was.
Zeus called Ares a double-faced liar just because he didn't agree with his nature and allowed Athena to hurt him.
Ares forgave Cadmos for slewing his child and married him off to hid daughter Harmonia.
Ares freed Thanatos from the chains Sisyphus put him.
Ares was the first god to protect Olympus from Otus and Ephialtes, but when he was trapped by them no other god went to free him.
According to Nonus in Dionysiaca, Ares allows Deimos and Phobos to help Zeus defeat Typhon.
Ares was the god of masculinity, civil order and a fighter for righteousness, referred as the Ally of Themis.
He always stepped in to help his children. He even went as far to disobey Zeus so that he could save his children from danger.
And Ares is pathetic! Like really?
The only argument of his "pathetic" nature was because he lost to Athena. A war isn't meant to always be won. There are the winners and the defeated. He may have been defeated in war but in his life he was a winner, because he faught for what he loved the most with insane ferocity!
Be for fucking real guys!
bisexual percy is so great tho
