Neil!!!

one of the most important anime scenes of the 2000s

okay so a ceasefire will happen soon, inshallah, but i just know the second it does, most of y'all will pack it up and go home. the world has proven time and time again that the second the violence "stops", then everyone forgets about us and then we just go back to suffering under the israeli occupation. you guys need to promise us, promise every single palestinian child in the world right now, that you will not stop fighting. that you will continue boycotting, you will continue protesting, you will continue disrupting the world until palestine is free. and then we'll do it again. and again and again and again and again. for sudan, for the congo, for everyone who is suffering right now.

you guys cant keep leaving us and forgetting about us once you've done "your part". it always happens, and we always go back to suffering. you need to stand with us until palestine is completely free. until we have our land back, until we can rebuild our homes, until we can drink clean water and breathe clean air, until our children grow up never having to face a horror like the nakba ever again. you need to stay fighting until we are all free forever.

I made a meme.

there’s a large grey area between “this creator is a misogynist/homophobe/racist” and “this creator did not fully think through the implications of some of their writing choices” and it would be nice if people would stop to assess where in the scale between those two cases their criticism applies, instead of going for a hard zero on the first option all the time

After watching Fatal Journey and having Nie brothers feels, I am CONVINCED that the Qinghe Nie Sect disciples absolutely knew that Nie Huaisang was not a good-for-nothing idiot.

He spent…what? 10+ years as sect leader? And he still had disciples following him to Jinlintai and the Burial Mounds. He still had disciples defending him despite his reputation as a poor swordsman.

No, they knew. Those disciples knew their sect leader was not the dumb moron he let everyone believe. They didn’t follow him because he was physically strong and a beast on the battlefield like his brother. They sure as hell didn’t stay out of sheer loyalty to his brother while watching the other sects get stronger and wealthier. They knew Huaisang was just and fair and caring like Nie Mingjue was even if he lacked the physical strength and cultivation power. Huaisang cared about his people, which is very evident when he - in the middle of trying to find a sword spirit bent on killing them - argues with Mingjue about leading disciples into danger like sacrificial lambs. He cares for his disciple brothers and sisters, and they know it.

Oh sure, they didn’t have a clue about his revenge plot because I’m pretty sure Huaisang kept that close to the vest so not a single whisper would leak out to Jin Guangyao. But they sure as hell knew their sect leader was more than competent. They played along and pretended he was weak and a pushover even if they didn’t really know why he wanted to project that image. They knew and they stayed and fought by his side.

And that, dear friends, is why Nie Huaisang is a badass.

this applies to all fandoms 

For future reference.
