okay so i do have a lot of links regarding things that have happened mostly since oct 7th and while i do think the information itself is important, i want to actually bring up ways to to support and learn about palestine so. here are some things ive seen around!
light in gaza (free ebook) - this is an anthology of palestinian works that aims to spark discussion through the reflections of palestinian authors on their lives. they discuss culture, power, suffering, history, family, nature, violence, and much more that i can't capture through just a short summary
e-sims for gaza - a website with a guide on how to provide an esim for palestinians! esims help people in gaza stay in touch, which is especially helpful when dealing with blackouts and poor internet.
palestine children's relief fund - a website accepting donations for humanitarian relief and medical aid in gaza
hirbawi - "the original kufiya, made by the last and only factory in palestine" and a way to both financially and visibly support the palestinian cause. semi-related, to those in college, consider looking into student groups on campus in support of palestine; it is very likely they have ways for you to visibly show support and organize
+ a tumblr post with a list of many other palestinian businesses
@helpgazachildren is a blog dedicated to humanitarian relief in gaza as well
i also recommend doing at least some general reading on things like the nakba, plan dalet, palestinian citizenship under israel, the march of return, attacks on palestinians during ramadan, and basically anything you hear of that you want to hear more about. let's be curious! there are lots of videos and articles from many years before 2023! the plan dalet document itself is free to read from various sources online, if having a direct source is an easier starting point for reading.
What are some of your favorite poetry accounts here on tumblr? If you don’t have any, what are your favorite accounts in general to follow? You’re honestly one of mine right now—i just adore how thoughtfully curated all your posts are, and it feels like we have really similar taste in poetry 😙 I’m more of a prose gal myself, but I just bought Bianca by Eugenia Leigh because of your blog, and I am planning to get something from CT Salazar ehehe. All my love <33
Hello!!! I hope you love Bianca!! I adored that collection. ❤️
Hiii welcome to The Thing I’ve Been Working On For Far Too Long !!!! This is an edited map of my WoF Headworld!! This map fallows my personal lore / story for what happens post-books! There are far more ideas I have regarding new structures, how the land changes, etc. , but this was just generally for labeling major locations within each territory! My hope was to wrap this up before the Felid Guide drops so I can compare my map to the canon reveal of locations but I didn’t quite get there and there are still a lot of loose ends. Unfortunately I don’t have much time to work on this anymore and will probably chip away at it privately in pieces , but for now I wanted to share this bit publicly!
The info for the labels on the map are all written out below, but I have primarily complied information in a Google Doc for easier viewing and navigation!
Link to the Google Doc !
Under construction !! Im so sorry I’m stuck on mobile and Tumblrs post editor on mobile is actual shit. the formatting is terrible I’m going bonkers in here. Also it’s stuck sideways for some reason like girl pleaseee turn the other way!!! I will rb this again once I’m able to format it properly.

There are loads of posts from brilliant creators I could have highlighted. Feel free to make your own Favorites post and let’s show these excellent posts/creators some more love!
leon loves having his hair played with. letting someone brush and braid and even wash his hair is one of his strongest extensions of trust and one of his most cherished acts of casual intimacy. because it relaxes him, and if they do it long enough it’s even liable to put him to sleep, it’s a very vulnerable thing. if leon lets someone play with his hair, it’s an indication that he both trusts them very deeply and desires affection from them.
Soundwave just... is excellent at minecraft. Dude's fucking amazing at modding, knows exactly where to look for diamonds and how to successfully navigate the nether. He's read everything online, and is the Owner of the server.
Things he did not account for, however, upon making the anarchy server:
Himself making the mistake of adding the fire and ice mod to the server, which means you will be continously harassed by teenage fire dragons. He thought it would be a cool addition with interesting designs, and instantly came to loathe the flying menaces along with Optimus.
Starscream committing PVP on sight with with exactly everyone. His introduction to the game was through twitch so i mean. He's not purpose griefing or seeking out other players to kill, juuust jumpy. And definitely streaming all of this.
Jack making absolutely massive intricate bases. He seems like a builder to me, and he most definitely has a small town going, and will build stuff for the other players. If you need a specific block, he definitely has it* (minus a few and you'll get why) i am dubbing the small town Jackstown as it is Jack's town lol.
Megatron somehow being aggressive mob magnet. I've mentioned this before but when Megs first found an Enderman he compared it to Soundwave, who told him to look it in the eyes. Megatron has trusted exactly none of the other mobs in the game or information given to him by any player that is not Optimus. Did not go through the tutorial.
Raf finding temples, fortresses, and dungeons— and afterwards removing any indication that they had been raided. Nobody knows where the hell his base is. He's the one who has played this game the longest, and is absolutely willing to go on tangents about minecraft. He's also fucking amazing at redstone.
Miko being Miko and taming exactly everything she can, meaning she has an absurd amount if cats and wolves. Make the mistake of hitting her character or a dog aaaaand you get what happens. Gave KOBD a black cat, Optimus a parrot, and regrets having given Starscream a horse. Her base is also in Jackstown.
Optimus being a creeper magnet. He may have Prime luck, but not when it comes to creepers lol. To me i feel like he's the first mech to see a supercharged creeper. He's lost like seven bases to fire dragons, and moved into Megatron's underground base. Out of the game Soundwave played a creeper hiss once and Optimus jumped lol.
Knockout and Breakdown being potion masters, and also willing to commit PVP but not with the same fervor as Starscream does. Breakdown usually finds the shit, and Knockout does all the crafting and brewing. They full well lean into this gay witches theme, with Jack giving them a Lot of stained glass.
Ratchet, who's also great at finding diamonds but is stingy as hell with them and keeps them for emergencies. His base is in Jackstown, completely has a medbay theme, and nobody knows how the hell he got villagers in there.
In general Good Fucking Luck finding redstone if you aren't Raf, Knockout, or Breakdown. And good luck finding diamonds if you aren't Soundwave or Ratchet.
Wheeljack being a fucking mazing at tinker's construct and applied energetics. He's learned the mods well and uses them to his advantage. Especially with anything that explodes, he's started a little war with Starscream aaand with the potion makers lol. His base is 100% booby trapped for the hell of it.
Her concept of narrative time. Slow your scenes down, you're gonna give me motion sickness.
Her concept of character development. Let them develop on screen and keep them relevant to the plot.
Fitz's introduction to the character pool. She was so mean to him for absolutely no reason.
The overcomplicated parts of her plot. Please can we approach this logically, is there an overarching plot anymore, dear stars can i stop watching this it's like being on a space ship you can't get off of as it flies helter-skelter in orbit around a planet at faster and faster speeds.
The message she's been subliminally pushing to a lot of kids that adults will not be helpful in your dangerous and scary situation.
The never-ending spiral of pain. Every book(through Legacy) was just upping the ante of danger and pain that waited these children. There was no pause. It just kept going.
Linh's character as a whole. If the character is gentle, make her gentle. Don't screw with me and make her sassy and fierce but somehow also kind and sweet that doesn't make any sense and if she's cracking jokes at her brother that does not make me believe that this side character is anything more than a placeholder of female snappy quips.
The lack of explanation on how the economy works. I don't really care about this all that much, but also. Hhh. Shannon explain.
Vespera as a literary device. She sucked. That's all. Give her a personality other than "ancient and wants to kill me" thanks.
The fact that the children are for the most part stuck in their suffering? There's no way out that's permanent for anyone? Like, the song twins have to go home. Keefe has to go home. Tomorrow will always be crueler than today, and what's done in the dark will never be brought to the light. Wtf is up with that.
Just, like. All the very awful child abuse she's brushed under the carpet or passed off as not a big deal because it was unintentional or "Bronte learned his lesson and is no longer a meany-pants".
The constant defeat. Stars above, give me some kind of hope.
