#She wouldn't take it back for the world.

I'm thinking about the horror of the Doctor from the perspective of non-companions again, especially as it relates to people those companions know.
Rose? "Ran away" (not wrong) for "a year" (a week) with a "man" (alien) "twice her age" (approximately 50 times her age but yeah, he is Time Lord middle aged), and then gives absolutely no explanation for how or why that happened, except that she was "travelling".
Then when her mum does get an explanation (which, frankly, is only comforting because of the unfamiliarity of the alternative given. The devil you know.), Rose barely checks back in.
She almost dies for him. When she thinks he's dead, she's changed in a way her family doesn't know how to handle. Then she's gone for who knows how long and comes back with the Doctor wearing a new face.
When her original tenure as a companion ends, and Rose lives in Pete's World, she works for Torchwood/UNIT (they become the same organization). She volunteers for the Dimension Cannon. She explains to the alternate earth how to rig up a time machine.
She's changed in ways that no one else can really understand.
Amy? There's everything with River Song of course (though I'm still not there in my viewing), him running away with Amy the night before her and Rory's wedding, and also the connection between the Doctor and the Time Crack being the reason all of Amy's family's dead. Obvious stuff.
However he's also the strange man who broke into this child's house and made a mess of her life that she never got over, that promised to take her away from here, that she wrote about and drew and carved and made her friends dress up as.
And they sent her to psychiatrist after psychiatrist without any help. In their perspective, to work through what she imagined. In her perspective, to tell her that her reality wasn't real.
And then he comes back.
And to some extent, later, when he shows himself to everyone, isn't that more frightening? That the story your child told you, of the strange man she met as a child, of time travel, of nearly being stolen away, hadn't been a lie, or a misinterpretation, or an imagining?
And so he shows up at her wedding. And steals her away again.
Donna I feel like has the least horror until her final episode. I think exploring the in between section of her meeting the Doctor and finding him again would be interesting, but not exactly horror. More an exploration of how obsessive the companions can get about him, how it eats their whole lives with even one encounter, even as it makes them better people.
And then, obviously, the horror of having your mind altered and erased against your will by someone you trusted. For your own good, of course. Because he knows best. How could you know better than him? He's ancient. He's practically all knowing.
Shouldn't you be grateful?
(And he's forgiven.)

how about that uhhhhh Fantasy Julie. she gets her sword <3 no one can take it from her <3
rambles:
SIKE you get an extra, lower quality doodle
Tumblr media
SIKE AGAIN here's the rambles
yeah... i caved and gave her a tail... I'm Not Sorry! it's cute! i wanted to stick with her sorta flower motif - it's stronger in her princess look, since I imagine that when she was part of the royals she was very blatantly flower power based. it was her Thing!
but a Julie free of her noble shackles... she deserves her big sword. like yeah, she has flower magic, but who needs it when she has a Giant Blade??? on the royalty vein, and if we're classifying "rainbow monster" as a species, i feel like horn size/curve would be a status symbol of some kind. maybe Julie would have kept her horns filed short. but if she ran away from that life... longer horns! i like to imagine that they'll keep growing until she has a pair of Extra Weapons attached to her head! curved forward like mammoth tusks maybe!
i imagine that like Frank, she goes with minimal armor - range of movement over protection, yk? some scale mail over her front, a thick leather flower over her chest w/ scalloped leather pauldrons, wrist armor and metal knuckles! i'd think that the faux-suspenders include a back sheath for her sword... i wish i'd thought of that Before i finished the little ref! i don't feel like going back and editing!
i imagine that she was forced to cut her hair when it got caught in something (a gelatinous cube, mayhaps). it didn't look good! don't let anime and Mulan fool you! cutting your own hair with a blade will not look nice! but someone - Eddie, probably, he's good with scissors i'd assume - cleaned it up for her. and hey, it didn't look bad! plus, Julie probably liked being able to just tuck up her long strands into her hat when she's feeling a bit more like a Julius than a Julie!
it's been a fun challenge transforming their canon outfits into a similar variation with fantasy flavoring and twists! i want them to suit the setting but still maintain Themselves! Julie's was tough i gotta admit. i was messing around with the princess look and the fighter look side-by-side. it worked better when i sat back and thought "fighter Julie is Julie unrestrained. that version would be more aligned with her canon look"
i wanted her princess form to look Restrained! she has to be a ~delicate flower~, a noble woman, pristine and poised and very much a princess. soft colors, poofy clothing, bright white gloves that are not to be sullied. carefully bundled up hair! jewelry! that dress must be Heavy and hard to move in! her tail must be so cramped under there!
but Julie Unleashed? violent pinks! rose gold accents! short skirt so that she can sprint and Kick! fun boots that she can be active in and delight in watching them get dirty! her hair is free to whip in the wind and get caught in things! fun straps and Deadly Accessories! a sword that she stole from the royal armory on her way out the window! she has forearm wraps both to match Frank and to support her wrists!
#yessss this was mainly an excuse to draw jules with short hair and a tail. i do not apologize#i like to think that poppy has a bottomless bag that she's too scared to use herself#but everybody keeps things in there#julie keeps her hair-hiding-hat in there and some pants and a cape for that Julius Vibe#(yes i could have gone with julian. but julius makes me think of orange julius and. yum)#i've said in initial rambles that i think that julie has Mild plant magic#I TAKE THAT BACK SHE'S SO FUCKING POWERFUL#i think she could hold her own against wally here tbh!#she wouldn't win if home had the reins but yk! it would still be Close!#but why would she use boring magic when she can slash punch kick#she can definitely talk to all plants. like im carrying that over thats so cool#trees warning her of an ambush... trodden-on flowers pointing her in the direction of her quarry...#roots arching out of the ground to trip anyone about to beat her in a race#scribble salad#wh fantasy au#so in canon julie left The Cave#which. fuck is that supposed to be a reference to plato's cave? ok no now's not the time for speculation#so she left the cave to seek out a life of her own#so i imagine that she left the royal life for much the same reason! she didn't want to sit on a throne in a poofy dress and lead!#she wanted to Adventure! see the world! be unrestrained!#i imagine that her repeated sneaking out is how she met frank - then when she ran she went to him cause she knew he wanted to leave#and she went 'hey im ditching this joint wanna come' and Of Course the answer was yes!#adventuring duo that never regret it for a second!#also as im making refs im adding them to a Lineup. which i'll post when ive collected all the pokemon (neighbors). size refs!!!

Ryoshu and Rodya friendship where they sometimes sleep in each other's room when it gets too much in theirs.
When the candlelight in Ryoshu's gets too bright and suffocating with the heat and reminds her too much of the fire her daughter died in sometimes she knocks (more of. just letting herself in lmao) on Rodya's door to literally cool off.
Sometimes when Rodya's room freezes her down to the bone to the point where that she can't sleep, and the stench and sight of her dead neighbors haunts her every senses, Ryoshu gets a quiet knock on her door, and an even more surprising, a solemnly quiet Rodya outside, asking her if she can take a quick snooze here because she doesn't wanna go out and do the night watch.
Something something the only bed worth sleeping is the one right next to you (sad). Fire and ice duo. you get me riht

[ Category: Zareans ]
| When am I ever gonna re-design her fucking husband- Anyways another fish person, who is of government authority because she married the president of course... Who is a total sweetheart and she notices that so she can take control of laws and regulations into her own hands and restrict loads of bullshit for some reason..
Oh and she clearly takes pride with anything to do with military, war and their bloody history with a neighbouring country (and species. Ofc it's complicated and I need to get into detail about some other time, but have snippets of lore from the OC bios instead for now lol)..
She isn't a family person- And both her and her husband had indeed adopted four children in their early days of marriage, while her husband treated them all as his own, she mostly intended to treat them strict and more like "servants".. However only one of said children growing up to appreciating her status and almost being her male counterpart; So you can tell they get along rather well compared to the others!
... Anyways.
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
INFO
Name: Angelina Species: Zarean General Personality: Strict, serious, cold-hearted, bitter, independent, fierce, definitely a fighter Height: 13ft Relationship Status: Married
Extra Info:
As mentioned, she married the president of the country so she could have some form of power in a governed status; She never actually loved the man she married but knew he was very easy to walk all over
The Zareans have three different sub categories or "ethnicities" I guess you could say, however all from the same "race", they do have different living and working habits. Despite being mixed, she always refers to herself as a "pureblood", a very old term used for Overworld Zareans when they were in fact very discriminative towards the others; But believe it or not she's actually 'Overworld' and 'Night-Lurker' mixed
She does have a love interest, and it's with another woman who has more of a criminal record to her name while also being on the "BDSM" side. Angelina and this woman do in fact have a history despite almost killing each other on two different occasions; One time during one of the many wars against a neighbouring country, and another time during a heated "professional argument". But the feelings for one another is still there despite it
She's very privileged, she will shut down most charities and make the excuse that they are "scams", however conveniently "overlooks" those sort of scummy charities that cater to the rich man's pocket; Her husband tends to be sick and unable to thoroughly focus on a lot of matters so she speaks or signs for him. Of course him not realizing she's being a selfish jerk most of the time
Enjoys fencing; Since she's an expert with her blades, specifically a type of rapier that was passed down from her family merely as a decoration, she decided to have it "thoroughly worked on" so she could use it in battle. It's a lot stronger than you think, despite Angelina really enjoying sniping; Whether as sport, hunting or overall when she was in the military in her youth
She's very neglectful to her husband, even to her children when they were young, sometimes even now; Close connections are definitely not her thing
Despite being scummy and doing some very shady activities in her position of power, she definitely has committed rights to some wrongs, whether hers or a flaw in the system they run somewhere; Definitely as in enforcing laws with affordable health care, free check ups and whatnot, but definitely correcting or sorting laws and rules that cater to the safety and protection of children.
Claims she hates kids but has without fail "accidentally" put a smile on some random kids face. Her behaviour sometimes insinuates she wants children of her own; Especially seeing as she can do both what a male and female do during reproducing offspring. Hermaphroditism in the Zareans, although not entirely common, is also not all that rare either in this race either
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
.... Words aren't wording, but what else is new.. Haven't really been drawing all that much since I've been mostly playing No Man's Sky, or even if I am drawing I haven't either finished yet or decided taking my time working on a few.. To which I am just about getting to but really it's been playing No Man's Sky..
To which I finished Expedition Omega but am stuck cuz the last Milestone reward softlocks the game, it's happening world wide so it's not just me thankfully- Though playing on the Switch, I've reported the bug myself in case nobody else has..
To which when I post this one anyways, would have been at LEAST a month or two since then and the issue would have been resolved by then! ..... Hopefully!!
Anyways... Another one of these guys, got loads more to do, am very much taking my time with these- Struggling with entirely re-purposing my former Yiga OCs and some reason finding it hard giving them an purpose into their own thing despite REEEEALLLY wanting to since I scrapped said AoC AU and DON'T plan on bringing it back- So I really don't have all that much else to really "finish off" yet... But as stated again and again, it would've been at least a month or two since finishing this post so time will probably have changed by then... Anyways! Who bloody cares!! Nobody reads these so don't mind me!
. Angelina, Art © Me . DON’T RE-POST .
#MASTER-K0HGA#Ary / Kohga Chronicles#Ary / Kohga OCs and Works#Angelina#Mrs Valentine#Hermaphrodite#Zarean#Zareans#OC#Personal Species Project#Planet Zaria#Species#Original Character#Fandomless#My OC#My art#My Character#Re-post#My art re-posted#... I have too many to work with... But now that I've made them and introduced them years ago back on DA#It feels wrong to try getting rid of or merging some OCs into one? Like I didn't wanna have so many to draw/ Introduce and work with...#But now I've done it and have even added too many others since as of recent years. Whether it's species. Others OCs or whatever#I just have to keep them all now and managed who I have and who's practically been re-purposed. Re-designed and everything..#Which is fine if my brain wouldn't either get too distracted or lose interest so fucking fast.. I used to draw and work on these OCs like#almost nonstop! Had all these ideas and cool ideas at the time and just make up my worlds then and there...... But now?#Sometimes I can barely get through one drawing.. Whether it's a ref. A quick bust or even a doodle.. I've lost it#So now I have to take time with each other... And even then have to FORCE myself to get involved with my projects so I CAN at least start#On them!... But oh well... Angelina. She sucks but she's also kinda cool at the same time..#I need to draw her blimming husband he hasn't had a proper re-designs since I think like 2017 or something Idk!!#fdvjfkdvvbhf HE NEEDS TO BE RE-DONE LIKE NOW OMG JDVHVKCXH

rereading tâm's character sheet. my girl is genuinely a disaster but i love her anyway
#sola said#like i remembered that i really was not playing her to her full statsheet potential (hey. hey sola. TAKE BOTH YOUR ATTACKS. USE REACTIONS.)#but i had genuinely forgotten/maybe never realized just how silly her build is. why does this character still have two +0 mods at level 20#21 str 15 dex 19 con 10 int 18 wis 10 cha. babygirl why#the thing is that it's actually really nice to look back and realize how differently i would know to build her now if i were to go back#i still don't think of myself as the crunchiest/smartest of players but it's nice to know i understand more than i did two years ago lol#but also. the real answer is that i wouldn't go back. i wouldn't give up anything about the way wandering isles/my first dnd experiences#went for literally anything in the world.#what do you Mean most people's first dnd experience isn't roleplaying slowburn unrequited romance turned aroace interpersonal conflict#turned platonic soulmates after all in the most cathartic and exhilarating possible way?#wandering isles was truly such a way to join and play the back half of a campaign and. yes tâm was a pretty poorly built character but that#was never the point. and it's really nice to look back and be like. i genuinely have no regrets about any of this.#i don't miss playing tâm in that. she got her epilogue. i don't have story left to tell with her. but she still owns my heart#sorry to every pc and campaign i play or will play in the future but i'm genuinely ruined for ttrpgs now <3#tâm#wandering isles

With the way Russian women's figure skating is looking right now, if Russia is allowed back in international competition, I hope Liza decides to go for one more try at the Olympics. It's not a guarantee, but I genuinely feel like she has a shot at qualifying for the first time at the age of 29
#fourth time's the charm right#the minimum age is now 17 and eteri's camp is not looking as strong#if Liza can keep her triple axel she's easily competitive with the other skaters in Russia now#again no guarantees but she'd be in the game#I think whether or not Russia is allowed back into international competition next season is going to be a big factor#in her decision to retire or not#she cited it as one of the reasons she's not competing this season#and she wrote a couple paragraphs about how she knows it will be harder to come back from a year off#but she says she's healthy and confident she won't lose her triple axel and she'll be able to do it if she wants#and really after 16 seasons without a break it's smart to take that break now#better now when there's no real competition on the line#she also has Grand Prix spots if she wants them#which the other Russian women are not guaranteed because even kamila hasn't been to a senior worlds#and since Liza placed second at her last senior worlds and anyone who places top six before taking time off#can claim spots when they come back then she should have them#she wouldn't be in a bad place when Russia is allowed back in#so we'll see what happens with that#and even if she does choose to retire she's one of the few Russian women who had a full career in recent years#she outlasted a lot of competitors#but I really do hope she decides to go for it#or even one more Russian nationals for a big send off#she's currently tied for the most Russian nationals ever#one more and it's all hers

by virtue of the GM having to play every NPC in contrast to every player having their one, it's fascinating the relationship dynamics this sets up in character throughout the narrative
#N posts stuff#specifically thinking about Caramelinda right now; you are a woman who was forced into a marriage after the love of your life died#your daughters Vastly and Openly love your husband more than you#you are Intimately aware of the dangers of the world and the roles that everyone in it is Forced to play and how important those roles Are#and your children Resent you for it. everything you try to do to keep them safe they Hate you for but you Cant Stop bc that wouldnt be Safe#and then your daughter dies; you thought she was safe in her bed and she wasn't. and now she's dead#and the child who brings you this news is still covered in your daughter's blood and accusing YOU of somehow inciting it#and your remaining daughter openly resents you for every move you make bc She thinks it's your fault too#she is still a child and telling you that if you had trusted them (As children) to not act as children do and if you had armed them with#magic that the lost love of your life taught you before she died; then maybe they would have respected you more and maybe they#would have listened to you then. or maybe they would have still ignored you but maybe they could have defended themselves#and maybe your daughter would still be alive. and this guts you. and then your husband looks at you take this wound and says#'can you give us a minute?' and shunts you off into a back room and this is the closure you get on this conversation#this isn't a critique btw it's the Nature of actual play and improv; i wouldn't even call it a Flaw#this isn't some Negative i'm pointing out it's just about the way the narrative reacts to this feature and the dynamics it incites#i love angst and drama and i like to peel characters apart like dissection. fascinating to me. <3

I've been trying to think if there are any circumstances where I could see Dany giving up her claim to the throne in favor of anyone else, and honestly, I don't think that would ever happen. Obviously she is willing to make certain concessions, especially regarding leadership in the North, but for the Iron Throne itself? Like . . . Rhaegar himself could come back from the dead and she still would not abandon her claim for his sake. Even if she would postpone taking the throne for whatever reason like fixing problems elsewhere or properly establishing herself as Princess of Dragonstone first, she still wants to take the throne when she feels she's ready. Because Dany's claim isn't really built around whatever birthright she may have. Her approach is, ironically, the same right of conquest that Robert Baratheon used to back his own claim, with his ancestry used to bolster his claim but not as the crux of it. Her bloodline isn't something that's ignored, but that's certainly not her primary reason for wanting the throne. She wants the throne because she truly believes she is the right person to sit it. Her sense of self-righteousness is what drives her to claim it, not the feeling that she should just because she's (supposedly) the last Targaryen. It's clear from Dany's POV chapters that she never cared for taking the throne until she tasted power and saw the good she could do with it, and THAT was when she began to wonder if she should contest for the throne herself. She isn't doing this because she believes the Targaryen dynasty must be avenged or restored to power; she's doing this because she believes in herself and the things she can do.

If Alexis had had "Bigger Than The Whole Sky" around when Atticus was missing I don't think she would ever recover and I hate myself for thinking about that 🥺

hm.
#leoposting#vent in tags#i... have come to realize that i am... very lonely#you'd think that wouldn't be so given how many friends and people i have around me. but honestly... as much as i love my online friends#my real life is quite... desolate.#i don't really have a relationship with my parents (not a good one; at least. i tolerate them at best); all my friends graduated#so we barely see each other. my current school friends are just that - school friends. we don't talk outside of our shared classes.#i have my cat but she's getting old and... i probably have to leave her soon which genuinely makes me want to cry.#i doubt i can take her to uni. especially if i go overseas. i wouldn't do that to her.#huh. never thought that'd be the thing that makes me rethink all my plans. guess leaving your life companion is a little difficult...#it's difficult to imagine her not around. we grew up together. i got her as a kitten when i was 4. i don't wanna think about that anymore..#but. life is lonely. it's not like i have places to be or anything. i barely talk to people. i guess that's my own fault though#i'm basically a shut-in with little interest in the outside world. my optimal life is shut up in some basement somewhere#all i need is a PC and some consoles and some food and i'm content to never be seen again...#it's... whatever. i guess. all i can do is push forward. i don't really expect people to stay in my life long.#i'm just grateful for the time they give me. maybe it's inevitable that people leave me. it's okay.#if i can bring them joy before then; then i'm happy. i hope people look back on me fondly.#i hope they never think of me again.

thinking about andre and josh seeing their families again in the middle of third arc
Tumblr media
#fmr tag#ANDRE. DEAR GOD.#isa thought her son was dead for eleven years. her husband supposedly died only a couple years later.#so when her son shows up on her doorstep#looking like the world beat the shit out of him#she just breaks. and it's so sad but it's so sweet too#he never got the chance to say goodbye. he never got that. so now he gets to start over#she doesn't even care about the curse. she doesn't care about who he's dating. she's just so happy to have him back. she's so happy#to have the person that she thought was gone forever there in her arms.#and josh. ohhhhhh boy josh.#he had no choice but to run. he's a criminal. he had to hide things once again#and his family didnt know what to think.#I think it would hit julie the hardest honestly. she had to watch her brother go through all this shit without ever knowing what actually#happened. all she knew was that he was struggling and that he wouldn't tell her the truth#and then one night he disappears. no note no sign of wanting to leave. he's just gone.#and the next day they tell her that he might have committed a murder-suicide which. she does not take too kindly too#the last thing she wants to do is sit around as he gets even more of a bad reputation in this town#but overall she's just heartbroken. she doesn't know what she could have done.#so when he shows up without any warning#just completely fine#she's more than a little pissed. relieved that he's alright but also just#furious that he did all this. once she learns what actually happens she gets less mad at him but#things are very tense at first between the two#.

imagine youre a teenager and one day you decide to steal a car because it looks fast and sleek and you want to travel on the road. so you go on a trip in your stolen car and you love it so much that you dedicate your life to the road. you spend your years travelling, visiting new places and picking up hitchhikers, all in the same car you stole, which at this point has become old and run down and needs refurbishing every now and then, but you never replace it because you live in this car now and it's your home. at one point your actual house was demolished and your family members are dead. the people you've hooked up with in your car have broken up with you and gone away. youve changed many times as a person, but your shitty car has stayed the same, the one constant in your hectic life. it's the last one of its model after they stopped manifacturing it: that's how old it is. then one day, your car suddenly breaks down in the middle of the road. you go out to get help and find a lady who weirdly knows all about you. she knows all the places youve been to and the people youve gone there with. as you talk with her more, you begin to realize that, somehow, the soul of your car—the one that's sitting broken outside—has transferred into the body of a human woman. your car is alive and now speaking to you, and she remembers all the moments you two have spent together, every word youve told her when you thought you were alone, every desire and complaint youve expressed to her in the middle of the night. your car is speaking to you, and she tells you that however much you love her, she loves you equally back. that you never really stole her all those years ago because she wanted to travel with you, and she wouldn't change you for anyone else in the world. you speak with your living human car, and you realize that, hey, she's kind of funny actually, and you might be a little bit in love with her, and she might be a little bit in love with you. but the desert you're stuck in is also sentient and evil, so your human car dies in your arms in order for her soul to transfer back into the machine and drive you away. so now you're back on the road with your car the same as always, except now you know she's sentient and maybe has feelings for you, so you sometimes let go of the wheel and let her take you wherever she wants. that's what happened between the doctor and the tardis in that one episode

700 Palestinians were killed in the last 24 hours and the airstrikes are more violent each night. Gaza's hospitals have fuel left for two more days. Israel only allowed aid into Gaza on the condition they didn't carry fuel. The Indonesian hospital has shut down already, because doctors have no supplies and no choice but to let the wounded die. They're calling it a collapse but the term doesn't do it justice.
Over a 100 incubator babies are at risk. There are 50.000 pregnant women in Gaza right now, and 5.500 due to give birth this month. Menstruating people are taking pills in order to stop their periods, because they do not have pads or water to maintain hygiene. Surgeons are operating without anesthesia. Water is not reaching Gazans because there's no electricity or fuel for water pumps.
There's no excuse for this. Israel justifies the airstrikes by saying they want to destroy Hamas infrastructure and release the hostages, but they have refused to negotiate for their release. Hamas informed Israel they wanted to release two elderly women without anything in return, and Israel refused. Netanyahu said they wouldn't take their own civilians back because it was "mendacious propaganda." When the hostages were finally released, Netanyahu prohibited the hospital from giving press releases. Yocheved Lifshitz went behind their backs and talked to the press anyway, saying she was treated very well by Hamas, but the government abandoned them. They're being used as straw men. Israel is conditioning the entry of fuel to the release of hostages and yet, according to The Wall Street Journal, when Hamas proposed to exchange 50 hostages for fuel they denied. IDF officials have said they fear the release of more hostages because that might withhold the order to their ground invasion. They do not care as long as they can use the hostages as a pretext for their slaughtering.
There's a turning tide for Palestine in public support. Support for Israel was built through decades of propaganda and we are making a dent into it. Zionists are desperate, holding zoom meetings to promote zionism, but we have to do so much more. We have to shame people in power into supporting the Palestinian cause.
Keep yourself updated and share Palestinian voices, looking to inform yourself from the sources. Palestinians have asked of us only that we share, tweet and post, over and over. Muna El-Kurd said every tweet is like a treasure to them, because their voices are repressed on social media and even on this very app. Make it your action item to share something about the Palestinian plight everyday. Here are some resources:
Al Jazeera
Anadolu Agency
Mondoweiss
Boycott Divest Sanction Movement
Palestinian Youth Movement

Take action. You can participate in boycotts wherever you are in the world, through BDS guidelines. Right now, they are focusing on boycotting (don't be overwhelmed by gigantic boycott lists. Only boycott additional brands if you can):
Carrefour
HP
Puma
Sabra
Sodastream
Ahava cosmetics
Israeli fruits and vegetables
Push for a cultural boycott - pressure your favorite artist to speak out on Palestine and cancel any upcoming performances on occupied territory (Lorde cancelled her gig in Israel because of this. It works.)
If you can, participate in direct action or donate. Palestine Action works to shut down Israeli weapons factories in the UK and USA, and have successfully shut down one of their firms in London. Some of the activists are going on trial and are calling for mobilizing on court.
Call your representatives. The Labour Party in the UK had an emergency meeting after several councilors threatened to resign if they didn't condemn Israeli war crimes. Calling to show your complaints works, even more if you live in a country that funds genocide.
