Aaaaaaaaa

Hey y'all. It's International Holocaust Awareness day Both of these books changed me. Consider reading them or please share for someone else who might. It's never a bad thing to learn more.

Inside the Gas Chambers: Eight Months in the Sonderkommando of Auschwitz by Slomo Venezia This is one of the only books I've found that touches on the living conditions and viewpoint of a Jew from Greece. Reading it, the author felt like a friend. It was horrifying.

Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide this book explained people were taught to completely separate Jews from being human in people's minds in the years leading up to the Holocaust- especially in the medical field. It has interviews with some of the doctors who did these things. The site for the books also has an archive of images, films, objects, publications, recorded sounds and documents. You can find information on many communities. Thank you

NO!

Scott, Grian, and Etho team up and it's just increasingly elaborate attempts from each member to protect their teammates before the others can protect them first.

Was listening to my trans music on Spotify and it gave me a song about being transmasc and Jewish.

As a Jewish person who is also probably transmasculine in some way, I feel very seen. The “being watched by the Spotify algorithm” kind of seen.

Also, I love how I have both my Trans blog and my Jewish blog, which both would have fit with this post, but instead I go with my Everything blog (Everything being primarily Minecraft).

the aquamarine au

Info about au below (or at least what i have so far)

-based on the 2006 move Aquamarine, a teen romcom about two teenage girls meeting a mermaid and helping her find love to achieve their wish of one of them not moving away (its my childhood). this au takes basic plot ideas from the movie but with major changes

Jimmy and Joel are both 17. Jimmy's family owns a small, local beach resort where he also lives. Joel lives next door and they're basically attached at the hip and spend all their time at the resort. It's tense between them because Joel is moving far away by the end of the summer.

Scar is 19. He's been working at the beach as a lifeguard since he was in high school. Local sweetheart, everybody loves him. Seems like he sucks at his job, but nothing wrong ever really happens on his shift. Known flrt.

Grian is an unknown age but closer to Scar than Jimmy and Joel. I'm still working out his part. He's a mermaid who ran away from home. The Watchers are a group who protect mermaid pods but have very strict rules and archaic views; such as there is no such thing as love and have arranged a marriage for Grian he doesn't want (The Watchers in this au are less Mega Evil and more Parents Who Don't Understand and Kind Of Suck). He runs away to prove love exists. In doing so, getting into a major fight with his sister.

Grian gets caught in a storm and washes up into the pool of the beach resort, where Jimmy and Joel find him. They are SUPER cautious at first, but immediately offer to help him find true love when Grian tells them that helping a mermaid grants them a wish. They're hoping to use the wish to make it so Joel's family doesn't move away.

Grian is a bit oblivious to the human world, but even more so to the concept of love, because it is not common in the mer world. This leads Grian to believe anyone can love you with a bat of an eyelash, which leads him to try to woo the first interesting person who catches his eyes; aka Scar. When it doesn't immediately work, he's actually quite pissed off and thinks its Scar's fault for not falling in love with him. Jimmy and Joel proceed to make a plan to match the two together because Scar is so nice and probably the only person willing to give this weird and off putting mermaid a chance.

Unlike the movie, which takes place over a couple days, this au takes place over the course of a month or two, so there is even more chemistry between the cast. Hijinks and cringey romcom shenanigans ensue.

The ending is very different from the movie (im still thinking about it i dont have a lot for this au please go watch Aquamarine tho its my childhood and i love it)

uhhhhh IDK WHO IS GOOD FOR A CECILLIA CHARACTER. ok in the movie theres a character named cecillia shes the typical mean girl trying to stop the main characters from getting together. i wanna put someone in this role bc shes iconic and has funny moments im inspired by but im having a hard time thinking of someone who fits the role. any ideas for this or any thoughts at all are welcome, this au is for fun!!!

ÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆ ÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆ ÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆ

I decided this screaming is gayer

Itchy veins.

okay so there’s two main languages. English and parkour.

parkour was the main one but it fell out of use when TEC and Seawatt showed up; seawatt was a nerd who studied English for fun (it was almost dead by this point) and decided to put it in everyone’s memories and that’s how it became so widespread.

parkour nowadays is only used very infrequently and in old books - that’s why the parkour book is in the chainmail library, as it hasn’t had access to the outside world for a while, and also explains why evbo has “been studying it” when presumably it should’ve been used widespread. This also explains the signs in the movie 1 house buying section

anyway there’s my two cents

i need other people to watch the parkciv christmas parody video where the only jewish character screams “MAZEL TOV” after every sentence , santa is an evil dictator who segregates elves and the main character goes on a quest to kill santa claus to get a date and does so via divine intervention from JESUS CHRIST

Like hOW IS THIS SO REAL!? IS THIS A SEMI-UNIVERSAL EXPERIENCE?!

The twink-ification of TangoTek should be studied, like HOW EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US GOT TRICKED BY HIS SKIN AND HIS VOICE???? Like did all of you have this experience as well before you knew what tango looked like irl, like oh yeah that's like some 25-ish young dude, and then BOOM BALD MAN

Absolutely they would.

I wonder who Aya's talking about 🤔
