Thinking about Caleb “I-use-people’s-full-names-to-show-intimacy” Widogast and the way he calls Veth “Veth the Brave.” It’s not all the time—it’s rarely used, actually, saved for specific moments, only when he’s using the fondest of tones, with the most admiration, and how calling her that is more intimate than just “Veth Brenatto.” Because Veth the Brave is both of her identities. It’s Nott and it’s Veth, it’s their co-mingling, it’s her in her entirety. Veth the Brave. That’s why it’s so intimate, because he is speaking to all of who she is
despite everything yoongi has been through despite battling depression and anxiety and the stress that comes with being a creative in this shit capitalist world esp a creative who didn’t even have the support of his family despite his accident and his parents’ health scares and all the other traumas he’s endured over the years. he still endeavors to be a healing fairy and a home for people he still writes songs like snooze to reach out to younger creatives like himself so that they hopefully never face the shit he did he still writes beautiful heartwrenching songs about self-love and growth and progression and even his own struggles with mental health so that people facing the same struggles know that they are not alone he is still primarily soft and warm in his heart and holds so much love for everyone around him and for armys he is still such a positive, kind, hopeful, loving force in this world. and i literally don’t have the words to express my gratitude and pride for him for being who he is. i just know that he will always always have my support no matter what
as an antizionist jew, it really fucking sucks that every time i see a post about antisemitism i have to scour it to see if it implies or could be interpreted to imply that antizionism is antisemitism. what’s even worse is that it does and it can, every time! it’s gotten to the point where i avoid any discussion of antisemitism at all, because im worried to add any fuel onto that fire.
and it really sucks because it does seem like antisemitism is on the rise! but i can’t fucking tell because all you’ll talk about is a fucking human rights movement that is frequently spearheaded by jewish organizations! get it together!
