MARVEL!!!!
TURN THE BAMFS INTO MARKETABLE PLUSHIES!
AND MY LIFE IS YOUR'S!!!!!!
Hype for X-Men 97 has got me thinking about their potential future in the MCU. Whenever the X-Men do finally make their way into the MCU, I beg and pray for the bamfs. I want my X-Men to be allowed to have fun, and the bamfs are just such an embodiment of the X-Men being fun. Just from a marketing standpoint, look at Pickles.
Look at him.
LOOK AT HIM.
LOOK
AT
HIM
You play your cards right and you’ve got the MCU’s Baby Yoda. I don’t want grim-dark. I don’t want snarky, cynical humor. I want an emotionally sincere exploration of being othered & found family that’s also a fun & fantastical adventure story and I want there to be bamfs. I want there to be Pickles.
Today, the refugee tents in Rafah were bombed at night! Innocent Palestinians were killed in a moment of nighttime calm! What kind of tyranny is this? This atrocity occurred just hours after the International Court of Justice's decision to ban entry to Rafah. Israel is sending a clear message to the world that it does not care about anyone. In the video footage, someone can be heard screaming, "Oh my God, my daughters are in those tents that were bombed!"
Today, I sent some of my family's donation money to Palestinian families in Rafah to help them move to Gaza. I don't think they survived this! My God, what are we living through?
Please donate and help this palestinian family
Faeries Common and uncommon weaknesses: Iron - Iron is one of the oldest and most traditional weaknesses of faeries. In pop culture you don’t see it used too often as a weakness but it’s started to slowly get a foothold with things like Disney’s Gargoyles (TV series) in which Oberon was wounded with iron, Puck was restrained by iron, and so was Coyote. Iron is also how King Stefan was able to cut off Maleficent’s wings in the film Maleficent. In most folklore iron is the only metal that can cause human-like injuries to a faery and usually a part cut off with iron cannot be restored. Iron chains can be used to restrain a faery or restrict their magick. And an iron dagger (if inducing a serious injury) might be fatal to a faery as magick will not heal that injury. They would have to recover as a mortal would. Iron being a weakness of faeries is why horseshoes are believed to be lucky and why people used to hang iron scissors over babies as they slept, so that a faery would not steal the child. In Marvel Heroes MMORPG if you fight the Dark Elves they will sometimes cry out “They must have deadly iron!” Iron is a common weakness of faeries and elves (in some folklore, particularly Nordic). Iron is a weakness of the Dark Elves in the Marvel comic books (but not so much in the movies). In some lore the mere contact with iron will burn while in others it requires an actual injury to do harm. In some fictions even the ringing of an iron bell will hurt a faery. In some lore the mere contact with iron will burn while in others it requires an actual injury to do harm. In some fictions even the ringing of an iron bell will hurt a faery. True names - In some folklore if you know a faery’s true name you can summon or even enslave the faery. Calling a faery’s true name three times will usually compel that faery to appear. It’s the notion that names have power and so faeries never give their young common names that helped create such folkloric figures as Rumplestiltskin (who was a literal faery / imp in his faery tale). Calling out Toot’s true name three times is how Harry Dresden summoned him in the first Dresden Files novel. And in Once Upon a Time Belle was able to summon Mr. Gold / Rumplestiltskin in season 4 by calling his name three times. This lore has trickled into ghost stories like Bloody Mary, The Candyman movie franchise and, of course, Beetlejuice.
Sweets - Many faeries crave sweets. It won’t hurt them but they do crave it and can be used to lure some types of faeries into traps.
Gold - in the Rare exception of the Dullahan (headless Horsemen) gold will ward them off.
Lemons - Apparently in some modern lore faeries do not like lemons for some reason.
Truth - Many faeries in folklore cannot out right lie. They can deceive through careful wording but they cannot directly lie. This is hinted at with some of Rumplestiltskin’s dealings in Once Upon a Time and comes up in many folktales.
Note: I thought about adding decapitation and fire to this list but I’m not sure about those…
Dina went to her room and was all giddy thinking out dinner, she loved the food and talking with her father about their lives, dina felt like things were becoming as close to perfect as possible for her. She was grateful that she gets to have a genuine relationship with her father she kept thinking about the evening while she got ready for bed.
She cleaned up, put her jewelry away, changed into her pajamas, and wrapped her hair in her bonnet. Then she got into bed and went to sleep while thinking about what might happen tomorrow.
_______________
Dina's alarm buzzed at 8 am which left her feeling groggy, but she snapped her fingers making the clock dissappear to peter's bedroom. She then took her braid's out of her bonnet and tied them back with the purple scrunchy as she walked down the kitchen to go get breakfast.
While she put bacon on her frying pan Peter sped by slamming her clock on the counter "that's yours!" He remarks putting 4 bagels in the toaster "can you cook me some eggs while your using the pan? And since your cooking your own eggs" he asked while scratching his head and rubbing his eyes.
"Sure" dina said
"Did you and dad have fun? Did yafFeel some good old father-daughter feels" he asked Leaning on the counter switching between looking at diba and looking at the toaster.
"Yeah we even got confronted by some stupid mutant hating weirdo's who intended to shoot me and dad with metal guns.... and metal bullets...." dina giggles to herself remembering the grown men's stupidity, this made Peter laugh "fun!"

Magneto stands at the edge of the training grounds, his imposing figure casting a long shadow. The air hums with a quiet intensity as he watches Dina practice, his expression unreadable. With a deep breath, he steps forward, his cape billowing slightly in the breeze.
"Dina," he calls out, his voice firm yet gentle.
As she turns to face him, he approaches with measured steps, his eyes studying their face closely. "I am Magneto," he begins, his tone carrying the weight of his name. "I've come to speak with you about something of great importance."
He pauses, searching for the right words. "I know this may come as a shock, but I am your father. I have watched you from afar, knowing that one day this moment would come."
Magneto's gaze softens, a rare vulnerability showing through. "I understand if you have questions, or if you feel anger or confusion. But know that I am here now, and I want to be a part of your life, to help you understand your abilities and your heritage."
He extends a hand, a tentative yet hopeful gesture. "Will you allow me the chance to explain, to show you the truth of who we are?"
Oh my queen. I admire you.
A Palestinian father playfully balances his son on his right hand at the beach in Gaza City early one evening.
The coast of Gaza has grown increasingly popular over the years. It had always been a sight for weary eyes but with Israel’s siege denying Gazans the freedom to move, its seemingly endless seascape offers, for many, a very tangible escape, even if only temporal. It has also become a very popular family destination. Entire meals are prepared, served, and eaten here, and it is not uncommon to stay the night, father, son, and all.

Recently there has been a fall in engagement with Palestinian content on tumblr, and for those of us who are helping Palestinians fundraise it is very obvious that this has happened directly after the very public smear campaigns, carried out by some racist users with significant followings.
It seems half the site somehow found it easier to believe in the horseshit about “belgian scam rings” and “russian botnets” in an effort to justify their apathy towards genocide victims, and the other half seems to think that everything is over and that the evil was defeated just because some racist bloggers got run off the site after giving half-hearted apologies that did nothing to mitigate the damage they had done.
THERE ARE PEOPLE STILL IN DIRE NEED OF HELP !! There are people who are still getting death threats from zionists every day and have to stay on this godforsaken website because their gofundmes haven't reached their endgoals yet...
I'm going to keep this brief:
Siraj's ( @siraj2024 ) family including his parents, and his five siblings and their families were displaced during the recent attacks by IOF on deir al balah
This means there are now 23 family members that Siraj is the sole provider for at the moment.
10 of those members are young children.
Siraj's wife, Halima, is having a terrible flareup of eczema and his children are suffering from skin infections and badly need medical attention.
This whole family has been living in unhygienic conditions in 2 tents, packed like sardines during this heatwave, leading to spread of infections between them as well– all during a time where hygiene products have become unaffordable due to the israeli blockade, and when water has become scarce, and kids cant even receive life saving vaccinations during polio epidemic.
All this while everyday siraj risks his life trying to reach out to us from an internet point amidst violence and shelling from the IOF in what once was a “humanitarian safe zone”, even more desperately than before because–
