WAYS TO HELP PALESTINE
what i think she would wear
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ i feel like she would own a lot of flannels, sweaters and baggy shirt.
⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ also, she would definitely like wearing pants that don't fit her perfectly so she can show off her boxer or boyshort thingy (and she makes them look good too!) ⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ I JUST KNOW SHE HAS THE KEY HOLDER THING CAUSE SHE DOESN'T CARRY ANY BAG OR PURSE WITH HER (she only uses them if needed lol). ⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ sometimes, she would love to just wear her hoodie/sweater instead of making an effort to dress up. i mean she would look good either way ⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ she actually has lots types of shoes but will always wear converse bc "it's comfy" (her words). ⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ i also like to think that she would love / enjoy overall especially if it's short and wear it in summer cause SUMMER IS HOT!!! ⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ oh pretty sure she own caps and denim jackets in different colors ⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ damn leather jacket (esp black one) would look so good on her
what dates you guys are going
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ in my head, ellie doesn't like or drink coffee but you two would go for cafe hunting or food hunting together, depending on what mood you two feel that day!
⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ ellie is definitely a soda or juice kinda girl
⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ baking or cooking together
sometimes, she's begging you to bake/cook with her dinosaur-themed food saying it won't fuck up but well… it does taste good but the presentation looks off… you guys still eat it though.
⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ ughh, listening to music together shared WITH ONE EARPHONE !!!!!!!!!!!
⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ okay, imagine running away from work or school for a moment and you two decided to go to the lake or beach just to wind down and have quality time together and catch up with each other's week.
also, imagine looking for rocks that look like both you and ellie's eyes colors !!!!!!! SO CUTE AND YOU DID THE TIKTOK TREND and it blew up !!!!
⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ thrifting shopping, both of you help each other look for gems.
"how does this look on me?" "like i want to go down on you" "ellie!" you exclaimed clearly flustered while hitting her arm. "kidding! you should get it, baby, it looks great on you" ellie kissed your cheek.
⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ picnic and stargazing. ellie, would tell you any facts that she knows to you while showing you what's up in the sky.
"oh oh! look at that one! did you know that-" and she continued telling you her facts and you would listen carefully. but there are times that you just want to look at her like the pretty view she is. "wow, that's so cool els! tell me more" you responded to her and she will gladly tell you more about it!
⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ art dates! i do see ellie as an artsy girl and let me tell you she knows what she's doing with her hands and is so talented too.
sometimes you like to call her a tease just because of how her hands are doing wonders for you LOL definitely, do the 10-minute challenge thingy, making a friendship bracelet just because and of course you two had to do the hand trend things to put it at your home or offices.
⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ museum date or aquarium date.
ellie could go on and on and on about dinosaurs or planets even sharks! girly has so many interests that she just has so many fun facts to tell you about! "woah, baby look how big this thing is!" ellie excitedly said. "that's what she said" you joke and of course ellie snickers at your bad jokes but deep down she does find it funny.
⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ late-night walks or drives are for sure your two favourite things to do besides cuddling.
late night walks when the two of you couldn't fall asleep and ending up at the park playing swings and just talking about the randomest thing ever and would probably go to the convenience store to buy strawberry and blueberry slushies. the two of you end up having purple tongues
⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ mannnn, i know ellie loves hiking (that doesn't take a long time to reach up the hill). i feel like she would be a sporty girl (kinda?), i mean i know she would go to the gym and all that.
ellie is a curious girl and just loves to explore new things and be adventurous and she likes it when you tag along with her. you, ellie and her cameras !! her taking pictures of her pretty girl (you!!)
⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ weeds and drinks combo and both of you laughing like an idiots while the soft wind brushes your skin
⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚ to be fair, whatever the two of you are doing together called dates! she just loves being around you and so do you!!
Tumblr media
REMINDER !!
that neil is a zionist and therefore dont buy his games, doesnt matter remastered or not !!!

Animal of the Day!
Beluga Sturgeon (Huso huso)
Tumblr media
(Photo from the Aquarium of Barcelona)
Conservation Status- Critically Endangered
Habitat- Caspian Sea; Black Sea; Sea of Azov
Size (Weight/Length)- 1500 kg; 7 m
Diet- Large fish; Mollusks; Birds; Crustaceans
Cool Facts- The beluga sturgeon is one of the largest freshwater fish and the third largest bony fish in the world. On an even more impressive standing, the beluga sturgeon rivals great white sharks and Greenland sharks as one of the largest active, predatory fish. Females tend to be much larger than males due to needing more fat reserves for energy while creating eggs. Spending most of their lives in deep lakes, these sturgeons swim upstream to spawn. Females do not reach sexual maturity until 20 years of age and only lay eggs every four to seven years. Sadly, poaching for caviar and meat has dropped beluga sturgeon numbers to dangerous levels. Through conservation efforts, thousands of fertilized eggs and juveniles have been introduced to wild populations yet illegal hunting results in further decline.
Rating- 13/10 (As big as a small beluga whale.)

Man dies, goes to Hell. Not surprised to be in Hell, bit surprised by pleasant hotel front on arrival, polished oak furniture and reception desk, velvet curtains, lots of real gold detailing, bar with every drink he's ever heard of, restaurant with food from all over the world. Receptionist's a beautiful succubus with raven hair and green eyes, who welcomes him like a favourite customer. Behind hotel, patio, cream teas, ice creams, people having great time, 25 x 15 m swimming pool, 500 m tall waterslides, 18-hole golf course, forests, archery range, beautiful green hills. Demon in a golf cart offers to show him around. Tour of country lanes, crown green bowling places, dance halls, pubs, breweries, orchards, farmers' markets, cafés, sailing clubs, bird-watching places, hiking trails, all rather nice. Man asks Demon: "This Hell? Seems rather nice."
Demon replies: "Nice enough, nice enough. Heaven's better, 'course. They have mahogany and platinum in Heaven, and Ambrosia. Can't get Ambrosia here. Their golf course has 27 holes, their water slides are 1000 m tall, their receptionist's a redhead, so better, but we do alright here."
Tour goes on, jazz band, white-water kayak course, aquarium, skateboard park, and man's getting relaxed until golf cart crests ridge and landscape beyond is blasted rock, pock-marked from impacts, clouds of corrosive gas drifting over it, flames spurting from cracks, surrounding a great peak cloven as if by a huge axe, the chasm lit by the lava lake boiling within it. Damned souls climb the sides on fingers scraped and burned raw, only to be plucked from the rocks and hurled back into the fire by a great, scaly Demon with huge horns, tattered, bat-like wings, four arms and a whip covered in red-hot spikes.
Man sits bolt upright and screams.
Demon says: "Don't worry! Don't worry. Nothing to do with you, that. Not your problem. You're not going there."
Man turns to stare at Demon.
Demon explains: "That's the American Evangelicals."
Demon tells him: "We put it in specially for them. They insisted!"

give me more Luke headcanons I am begging you, could be anything but give moooore (pretty please 🥺)
Of course, anon!!! Here are more Luke headcanons just for you, I hope you like them🩵
(if you scroll far enough you'll find something slightly nsfw at the end)
• for some reason I'm convinced that Luke can't dance 
• or at least not in a way that is considered presentable to the public 
• (the dorky way in which he moves to music in private is unlike anything you've ever seen. It's adorable)
• while he has a good sense of rhythm and great control over his body, he turns surprisingly clumsy as soon as he's told to do, for example, a waltz
• suddenly his graceful demeanor and the elegant way in which he carries himself simply vanishes into thin air 
• the only thing left will be gangly limbs everywhere, sheepish smiles and murmured apologies 
• take care of your feet because he will step on them 
• I wouldn't be surprised if he'd somehow manage to trip over his own or slip on the train of his partner's dress/cloak/flowy garment
• could he possibly learn how to dance? Absolutely, he's a well trained fighter 
• does he want to? No.
• (he might make an exception if Leia forces him to)
• is there an equivalent to the Roman Empire in the galaxy far, far away?
• is it the old Jedi order?
• (it could be but everyone feel free to make up alternatives)
• either way Luke is a nerd because I say so and thus thinks about the Roman Empire's equivalent a lot 
• he'll be able to give you a weirdly specific answer about how often he does so too
• he'll smile at you then and you can't help but wonder whether he's messing with you or telling the truth 
• if you share a room or a bed with him, no matter if it's in a platonic or romantic way, he's definitely one to come up with the strangest of questions 
• especially when you are already halfway gone and THIS close to sleep
• he'd ask if you'd still date him if he was a worm 
• yes, he'd still date you if you were a worm 
• OF COURSE he would 
• he'd built a little worm house just for you 
• what do you mean you want him to shut up and finally go to sleep?
• the memory of experiencing his first rain fall is very dear to him 
• since he grew up on a planet without water, everything about it fascinates him a great deal 
• he's always delighted when there is a stream or a puddle nearby 
• he likes to observe big rivers and the sea and often meditates at the shore of whatever lake he might find
• because of this I like to think he'd be really into fish 
• or water creatures in general 
• he'd totally keep some of them in his rooms
• (only in a way appropriate to their species of course!)
• as a fish/crab/shell/??? you won't ever find a better place to live than in Luke Skywalker's aquarium
• he'd take such good care of them 
additonal posts for this topic here and here
• in one of my other posts I said that Luke likes to go shopping with you
• but not only because he enjoys spending time with the people he loves 
• secretly (or maybe not so secretly) that man is just as invested in getting you new clothes, if not more so, than you are 
• (everyone who knew his mother isn't surprised; they have so much in common after all)
• he has an amazing sense for fashion 
• while he himself is more than content with his elegant and sleek black look, he flourishes when others seek him out for advice on how to dress
• he has a good eye for all the different body types and what suits each individual person best 
• he loves make over scenes in movies
• he keeps up to date with the latest trends
• he'd totally judge celebrities' and/or politician's outfits with you
• while we are at it I also have to talk about his favorite pieces on you 
• he absolutely adores seeing you in shirts with a low neckline
• those that maybe tend to expose more of your skin when you move, sliding that way or another
• the more he can see of your neck, shoulders  and collarbones the better 
• he loves when you go without a bra and he is able to see your nipples peeking through the fabric 
• thus he is especially happy during summer when you are wearing thin and lacey tops 
• while he always enjoys unwrapping you like a present during winter, there's just something so tantalizing about easy access
• this applies to your panties as well (or maybe especially?)
• he thinks you look breathtakingly beautiful in a pretty summer dress or a flowy skirt
• but even more so if he knows you aren't wearing anything underneath
• he'll innocently ask you to sit on his lap
• from afar nobody would assume that there is something else going on 
• at least if you manage to keep your composure 
• you never do
• he is not easy to take without any preparation and foreplay first 
• so in case you don't happen to be aroused enough or if you're less practiced and not able to take him fully yet, he'll happily adapt and fuck your thighs instead 
• they are just as nicely warm and so smooth 
• he'd make you sit at just the right angle so you too get all the friction you need, gently guiding your hips into a rhythm 
• eventually he'd loose his patience though, and, after making sure no one's around, he'd bend you over and take you properly

To celebrate CD's 30th anniversary, would you like to gush about the Bad Futures and how they efficiently portray Eggman's personality and cruelty without a word? :P
So then, Sonic fandom. Eggman isn't a dangerous villain, you say? Then how come, when the Little Planet is under his rule...
Palmtree Panic becomes a polluted mess, with the lake being as grey and dirty as the rest of the land?
Tumblr media
Collision Chaos becomes tacky and broken, with the remaining lights sticking out like a sore thumb amongst all the muddiness, instead of complimenting the vibrancy of the other time zones?
Tumblr media
Tidal Tempest looks more like a disused sewage system than any healthy ruins or aquarium?
Tumblr media
Quartz Quadrant has been mined out from top to bottom, with rusted machinery galore?
Tumblr media
Wacky Workbench becomes... Wacky Workbench-ier?
Tumblr media
Stardust Speedway becomes a neon nightmare, where neither the thunderstorm above or the imposing metropolis below is there to greet you?
Tumblr media
And Metallic Madness is abandoned, cold and withered, having lived out its remaining usefulness to its creator? The person who created this base is human, yet it looks so alien.
Tumblr media
And in all of them, the Badniks are worn and forgotten, trudging on in spite of their decay, and in some cases despite lacking a weapon of any sort.
Some fans believe this is all due to Eggman's vision going beyond his control, because they think he shouldn't be able to tie his shoelace without something going out of his control. But this is false: Eggman just doesn't care. For all the great lengths he goes to conquer an island, a kingdom, a whole planet, or more still, he is still a man who grows bored easily. When he eventually does get bored of the current place he's conquered, he'll move on to somewhere else in the hopes of adding that to his list of conquests. This is why, contrary to popular belief, he would not be indecisive on what to do in the event that he finally conquered the world and killed Sonic for good. He would just move on to conquering the universe. Nothing would be out of reach for his level of greed, his determination, and his ability to actually pull it off.
The side-effects of his doings may rarely be for their own sake, but the state of what he modifies to his liking does not concern him, nor does the amount of casualties in his list of deeds to make it this far. As long as there's a place for him to rule, and as long as there are remaining people who are there to obey his every whim, then everything is good, he says.
Other villains blow up the planet and leave it at that. A terrible fate to be sure, but a brief one. Eggman bastardizes the planet, reducing it to a sorry, parodic shell of its former self, with the self-aggrandizing monuments made in the doctor's likeness existing almost as if to mock the suffering of everyone that's beneath him. Which is everyone. Because only Eggman is supreme. Only Eggman matters. Only Eggman decides.
Unless Sonic stops him.

Adventures In Atlantean-Sitting
Chapter 9
Fandom: Aquaman
Pairing: Ormxfemale!Reader
Warnings: some violence
Summary: a nice day out ends badly
Note: this chapter is a little short but I just thought the end worked so I left it
Tumblr media
Orm’s idea was great. They went to the large aquarium in Coast City, holding hands as they walked past the exhibits. Orm would stop at every single one, listing off information that he knew about the creatures, and some of them even seemed to know him. He didn’t have the ability to speak to them like Arthur could, but the creatures of the sea still knew one of their own was present. It made the kids there insanely jealous when the fish swam Orm’s way.
“Hey, why are they all following you?” one surly looking child asked. He appeared to be about 10, the same age Orm was when he started getting an attitude with every adult he knew as well. Orm smirked.
“Well, I was their king once,” he said, voice lowering in a conspiratorial tone. YN stood by, smiling a little, watching. The kid was old enough to be skeptical, but still curious.
“Why aren’t you their king now?” he asked, folding his arms. Orm pointed at YN.
“She can’t go to where I live so I decided to stay with her,” he said. The kid looked scandalized.
“You gave up being king of the fish for a girl?” he asked. Orm chuckled.
“Yes, I did, and I think it was worth it, do you want to see them follow you?” he asked. The kid nodded. “Go back to your parents.” He had seen them nearby, watching the interaction, but trying to let their child have some independence. The boy walked towards his parents. At first the fish didn’t move, then Orm looked at them and nodded his head after the kid and they got the idea. They followed him, including the shark in the large tank.
“Mom! I’m king of the sharks!” the kid said. The parents looked shocked but then nodded and walked away. YN walked over and took Orm’s hand again.
“You’re good with kids,” she said. He shrugged some, looking sad. “What’s wrong?” she asked.
“Just wondering if I really would have given up my throne for you, back before I knew that the surface wasn’t all pollution and corruption and hatred. It’s a nice story to tell but, would it have been real?” he asked.
“Probably not,” she said. “But that doesn’t mean it's not real now. There’s probably another universe where you are still king, where you conquered the surface and we’re all underwater now, but in this world, you just have me.” He looked at her.
“I’d rather be here than in that world,” he said finally before continuing their walk through the aquarium. They were unaware of the person following them.
They got back to the house, walking the path through the woods to watch the sunset from the nearby lake when Orm realized that they weren’t alone. He froze, looking around. YN was confused but could see something was wrong. When Orm said to get behind him she did. A man exited the wooded area nearby, blocking the trail back to the house. YN took out her phone, making sure to take pictures. If this guy was involved with the attacks and framing Orm she wanted a good look at him. In fact…
Before Orm could stop her, YN darted out from behind him, running at the man. She expected the hit, being thrown through the air, so she made sure she grabbed at his face, just barely scraping a finger over his jaw before his arm could swipe her to the side. She groaned, landing on the forest floor, but she had done what she needed. Orm was still frozen, watching to make sure that Leo didn’t go after YN.
“So, the person who was supposed to be tracking you, trying to find you, looks like she found you, looks like she found a lot of you,” Leo said. “How long have you been hiding out here? Does your brother know? Is he involved in this little happy family?” Orm glared.
“That idiot doesn’t know anything,” Orm said. He needed to keep up the front, Arthur was already having trouble with the council, he didn’t need them dethroning Arthur while they were at it. Leo took a step towards Orm, but Orm stayed still, best to let your enemy come to you, make them do the work.
“You don’t seem surprised to see me,” Leo said. Orm growled. “I defected you know, after my father was accused of treason against you. He wormed his way out of course, but still, I wasn’t interested in bowing before a half-breed king.”
“Yes, defected, and trying to what? Get me put back in prison again? Setting me up?” Orm asked. He knew it wasn’t that simple. They wanted him executed, make sure that the last full blood heir of Atlan was dead.
“No, I’m trying to kill you obviously, you’ll either die fighting my forces or be executed, either way I win,” Leo said. “And don’t think I’m going to kill you now, I’m not stupid. One on one you’ll easily beat me, but you’re not always the smartest in the room, just the biggest, at least until Arthur came along. Muscles on that guy am I right? Anyway, I just came here to get some proof, help my dad’s investigation. I’ll be going now,” Leo said. Orm snarled.
“Like hell you will,” he started. Leo pulled out a small energy gun from a holster at his hip. He pointed it at YN. Orm stopped breathing as he fired, hitting YN in the side.
“I think I will be going, unless you’d rather let her bleed out and chase me instead. O and for you that poison took about twenty minutes to set in, for humans, well I don’t really know. Fragile things though, aren’t they?” he said. Leo then smiled and casually walked away. Orm cursed and ran to YN, picking her up gently and rushing her back to the cabin. He sent word to Atlanna that he needed help.
“YN, wake up, look at me,” Orm begged as he worked on her. He had little knowledge of the poisons found around Atlantis, just enough to stem the flow through the blood, and he had very limited supplies on the surface. Atlanna had left a couple things when she had helped him, so he used them now. YN didn’t wake up, but he could see the creeping blue poison slowing her blood, the color standing out against the skin of her stomach. He paced, watching those veins, making sure they didn’t pump too fast, as he waited for his mother.
