can we all just unanimously agree not to make assumptions about experiences people have had irl based on someone's takes about a piece of fiction no matter how """media illiterate""" it is
[ID: Text that reads "In fact, this trope overlaps with Big Beautiful Man (italics) so often (end italics) that some people would consider them the same trope—except that technically this trope is about body hair and the other trope is about body fat." End ID]
This is a fucking joke

bisan's live video on her 2nd acc is piercing my heart
she started off expressing (in arabic) how sick she is of the constant sharing, photographing, capturing, having to speak english and how she wants to speak in her native tongue instead.
she explained that the leaflets that were dropped again are ordering evacuation to rafah so they are forced into the sinai, and how impossible it is for over 2 million people to go to an area that's only 151 square km, so many have no choice but to stay in khan younis. they are trapped and have no international passports. rafah is the southernmost point of palestine after khan younis and she said - this part in english - "after rafah there is no more palestine. if we are forced into rafah there is no more palestine."
someone asked her if she has eaten and whether they have any food, her response was no, not at all; one loaf of bread has to be divided between everyone in her camp.
the video kept freezing because of how bad the internet service is in gaza right now so i lost bits and pieces, but at some point an older woman joined the live, a journalist outside of the country. it's unclear whether they knew each other previously, but a lot of warmth was exchanged. the woman got tears out of bisan when she told her "dont listen to people who tell you to be strong, i don't want you to be strong, i want you to be you. if you are sad i want to know, if you are happy i want to know." she explained that she tried entering rafah but the occupation refuses to let any foreign journalists in anymore.
after the woman left, bisan talked about her life before october. she said her life was beautiful and fruitful and any source of strife was solely on israeli hands; namely her inability to travel or pursue placements for her education outside of palestine. other than that she had nothing to complain about. if im able to watch the video after it ends, i will add any pieces i missed
i think the thing that is specifically bothering me about the conversation about the new hbomberguy video ("live your life in a way so that hbomberguy doesn't tear into you for 3 hours", "hbomberguy has figured out how to death note someone through video essays", "oh new hbomberguy video [incredibly dense paragraphs of text] i now despise james somerton") is that it really feels like people aren't paying attention to what hbomberguy was actually saying. like, as much as he wanted to make people aware of the plagiarism issue, he also very explicitly did not like the fact that he might even remotely have a financial incentive to make those sorts of videos. and rather than the last video, which was a "get mad about this" call to action, hbomberguy spent this whole video sympathizing with the people who were directly out indirectly affected, and wanted the focus of people's attention to be on uplifting small queer creators
but also, negativity drives engagement so i guess it's to be expected.
Fontaine begging his mom to open the door, to prove that she's real, that by extention he's. Giving up and breaking the door down only to see a redoring playing and begging the automated recording for help.
Junebug showing up in the middle of hia break down and babbling about SpongeBob and being genuine, validating Fontaine's self worth and reminding him that there are things worth saving in The Glen.
Just found out one of my posts lost all its alt text. It's only a year old. Please include both alt text and in-body image description for your images. Alt text is still not reliable on tumblr.
(I personally don't repeat my alt text in the body, usually I have an expanded description. Some people copy their description from alt text into the body text. If you do this, consider adding the line "copied from alt text," if it's the same so those who have already gotten that alt text can choose to skip the repeated info)
"why are people excited for the transphobia in ttyd" because it means super mario gets to kill transphobes with hammers. game of the year
Hey, Shane and Sam have to be like. Somewhat familiar with each other right? They live with the only kids in town, and they work together. Doesn't mean they're friends, definitely not, but maybe they're a little nice to each other? Sam sees how tired and depressed Shane seems at the Saloon and decides he'll invite Jas (and Shane) over for dinner next week, which Jodi never minds
Shane and Jas get to their house a little early. Of course the kids want to play in Vince's room, so Shane awkwardly stands around. He offers to help Jodi with dinner but oh no, it's basically done and Sam already set the table, sit on the couch and relax. Sam sits in the chair and turns on the TV. Shane used to play Gridball, maybe there's a game on! They watch the game for a bit, and even though Sam doesn't really get the rules he seems to be rooting for the right team.
During an ad break, Sam brings up when Morris accidentally elbowed a displat when he was walking fast and sent the cans flying everywhere. He's laughing like it's the funniest thing in the world and Shane...well, Shane cracks a smile, chuckles a bit. And Sam is like yes! I am winning at friendly conversation!
Dinner goes well, the casserole is made with fresh fish from Willy, Shane sticks with water, denies the offer of a disgusting Joja Cola. Vincent dominates the conversation, talking about what they've been learning from Miss Penny, but Jas joins in sometimes to add whatever Vince forgot. Dessert is ice cream, followed by 35 minutes of Vince and Jas trying to convince the adults to let them sleepover. But it's a school night and Jas needs to get home.
At the door Sam gives Shane a wide smile and says to get home safe, as if it's a joke. Which it kind of is. The ranch is a 15 minute walk away, they can practically see it poking through the trees. Shane nods, picking up a Jas who's falling asleep on her feet, and says he'll see him at work.
And theyre not friends, Shane is 5 or 6 years older than Sam and they don't have much in common, but at least there will be a somewhat friendly face at work tomorrow
