i. Joan Tierney Why Are You Haunted? [ "This haunting is architectural. It is not about you. It is about where you are. There are bones in the foundation. This house is a graveyard. This house is a corpse. You are inside the corpse. That makes you the maggot." ]

ii. @/oceaii (tumblr) [ Black and white illustration of a deer. The deer looks forwards in the first panel and turns back to face the audience in the second panel. "Turn and face / the person you've become." ]

iii. Liv Ullmann Changing [ "I will never forget the loneliness I knew as a child. For a period in my life I hid behind a mask. Did not want to acknowledge any longing. / Now it is a part of me-something I can share. / Both the loneliness and the longing." ]

iv. The Elektra Complex [ "If you were to peel the skin of me apart as a fig's, you would finally understand. I am my mother's daughter. From poisoned seeds sprout poisoned fruits." ]

v. Rosario Castellanos Monologue of a Foreign Woman [ "I didn't want / to be the dead star / that uses borrowed light to survive." ]

vi. unknown [ Black and white illustration of two deer. They are both labeled with words. The deer in the background says "just be." The deer in the foreground replies "just being is the hardest part." ]

It stands before a bucket with more clothes inside. "I come from the toughest, meanest place you can imagine. / I want to be gentle, I want to die gently, but / It seems that when life gets hard / I have to get harder to match." ]

ix. Jean-Paul Sartre Nausea [ "I am going to outlive myself. Eat, sleep, sleep, eat. Exist slowly, softly, like these trees, like a puddle of water, like the red bench in the streetcar." ]

x. unknown [ "1. Man is a MORAL animal. / 2. You can get human beings to do anything - IF you can convince them it is moral. / 3. You can convince human beings that anything is moral." ]

Palestine's UN ambassador holds back tears during appeal to world court – video

Palestine's UN ambassador appealed to the court to lift Israel's occupation

"what does international law mean for Palestinian children in Gaza today? It has protected neither them nor their parents. It has not protected their families or communities, it has not protected their lives or limbs, it has not protected their hopes or homes. We are a proud and resilient people that has endured more than its share of agony.

It is so painful to be Palestinian today. "

Today at the international court of justice hearing on Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories, Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian ambassador to the UN, held back tears as he appealed to the judges to uphold international law in the Palestinian territories and help secure a two-state solution 'in which the two-states live side by side in peace and security'.

SatoSugu Valentines Week

Hello and welcome to our SatoSugu-Valentines-Week interest check! Said week is supposed to be dedicated to Getou and Gojou as a ship in any form/way/dynamic that you like, and we hope to garner some interest for this event. If there is enough interest, it will be a 7-days-event. The 14th Feb will be a free day/Valentines day. You can vote for prompts (down) for 5 days (each day will have 2 prompts). For the 6th day, you may suggest a prompt yourself - if several people suggest the same prompts, we will choose them accordingly. If there's enough variety, we will open a poll for you to choose. NSFW content may be created as long as you tag it properly. The interest check will close on Dec 30th, 11:59pm (UTC-5). tumblr: https://satosugu-week.tumblr.com/ twitter: https://twitter.com/SatosuguW

Hey, guys! So, I’ve been thinking about organizing a SatoSugu week around Valentines Day - if there’s enough interest for such an event, that is. It would be great if you could fill out the interest check above, it shouldn’t take long!

The interest check will run until Dec 30th.

Future updates and news will be posted on @satosugu-week (which is still a new blog so it might take time for it to appear in the search function/ for posts to appear in the tags).

Also, since I’m not that active on twitter myself, I would appreciate a shout-out over there too! (twitter: @SatosuguW, just posted the interest check there as well!)

Why I think Shouto will save Touya

So, now that Dabi has come out as Touya and the Todorokis know that he’s alive, I wanted to put my thoughts out there about where the family’s arc is headed. What I think Horikoshi has planned (or what I think would make sense) for the family’s healing and to crystalize Shouto’s understanding that his fire quirk is his own and not an extension of Endeavor’s, is for Shouto to save Touya. How do I think Shouto will accomplish that?

Redeeming the fire quirk that both brothers inherited from Endeavor. See, I think there’s a distinction between Endeavor the person and his quirk. Out of both, I don’t think Endeavor is the one that will receive redemption.

Why do I think that?

The definition of the word:

(noun:) 1.the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil.

This panel:

And this panel:

I’ll discuss my thoughts about how the Todorokis’ view Endeavor’s flames and how Shouto will save his brother under this read-more cut, with specific mentions of Endeavor, Rei, and Natsuo:
