Something a lot of people have brought up from my popular post on effective anarchism is the danger of feeding into the narrative that property damage counts as violence (i.e. the type of rhetoric that was used against the BLM protestors to try and delegitimize their movement).
To clarify again, my issue with blowing up or burning down buildings is not "Awwww poor major corporation losing their building (that they totally have insured)," it's that fire and explosions are hard to control, and you always run the risk of accidentally having innocent casualities with one miscalculation, change of the wind, or freak accident.
And like, to succeed in destroying a building by those methods, you need to make sure no one knows you're going to do that. But if no one knows that you're going to do that, no one will know not to go near/in the building, bringing them into harm's way. Because the secrecy needed to succeed in the destruction is mutually exclusive with the need to make sure everyone stays away for their safety.
Ex: Maybe you planned to burn down a building, but you don't want anyone to get hurt, so you start the fire then immediately pull the fire alarm. Everyone gets out, but the fire department knows about the fire within minutes, and they come and put it out before your action is any more than a char mark on one wall. On the flip side, perhaps you set the fire with no warning on a day when you think no one will be in the building, and it turns out the cleaning staff were there, and one of them didn't get out. Can you live with that?
Also sidenote: Fires can be way harder to escape than you think. There was this one serial arsonist (again, crime show junkie here) that would leave delayed ignition devices in convenience stores so that fires would break out after he had left the shop. Think about an average gas station convenience store (not something bigger like Buc ee's or Sheetz). Pretty small space, right? You can see pretty much the whole store at once. Not a lot of people in there at one time. Clearly marked exits. This dude set a convenience store fire, and two people (a grandmother and child, I believe) didn't make it out because the fire took out the electrical system, the lights went out, and that plus the smoke got grandmother and child so disoriented that they couldn't find the exit. They burned to death a few feet from the door.
That's not a risk I can ever personally take. You're not ever going to see me advocating for arson or explosions for more than the obvious reason of "don't become part of the FBI watchlist."
However, I want to state clearly that property damage does not necessarily delegitimize a movement/cause. The fact that people strike at property instead of other people is often a kind of harm reduction. Ex: The BLM protestors had every right to be violently angry at police. Multiple recorded instances of the murder of innocent black people by police officers, and almost nothing done. Tbh those officers are lucky that people chose to spray paint "ACAB" on statues instead of storming their houses and dragging them into the streets (I do not advocate for this either, but I would understand it).
What I would say is that if you're going to participate in some kind of property damage, understand 1) That is illegal, and you could be arrested for it (obviously). 2) Make it a well-targeted action, i.e. painting ACAB on the doors of city hall or the police station makes sense because it is the police/the city that funds them that is not holding officers accountable. Painting ACAB on the garage door of a random guy down the street who is not a cop and who you have no evidence even supports the cops doesn't make any sense and just makes a guy mad at you.
People are less likely to accept the rhetoric that that kind of vandalism delegitimizes your cause if they can see a clear reason for it. If you're just striking at random people, the public tends to have more empathy for those random people who didn't do anything overtly wrong (because they can easily see themselves in that person's shoes) than they do for you, the person vandalizing their garage door no matter what your message is. No one thinks, "Damn, I guess getting my house vandalized is just a price I have to pay to help with ___ movement." People better understand it, however, if "ACAB" ends up on the house of cop with 36 excessive force write-ups, or "pedophile" ends up on the back windshield of someone from Epstein's list.

Just some clarification for the pirate story:
I don't know how to write this, (not a professional writer, sadly), so I need to differentiate this:
Any scene where I say Bonnie and Freddy are dancing together, they're not doing this boring, pre-choreographed, ballroom dancing:
Tumblr media
They're doing this:
Tumblr media
Those two fuckin own the dance floor
I headcanon Glamrock Freddy and Bonnie as both being obsessed with music and both of them love dancing, so they go all out on the dance floor lol
They are so silly on their own but they're even sillier when they're together 🥺

One more time!
Tumblr media
I bet you can't guess who found the first designs of these guys and almost had a heart attack~
Tumblr media
It was me, I almost died. GOD This things were a disaster! AND I CAN SAY IT! it was my work, guys, and now I can see it wasn't a very good one.
Rafa's design was to much and Leo's to little. Mikey's design was a bunch of unrelated concepts. I think Donnie's was the only one that worked, but- the colors
So yeah, Redraw Time
I mean- don't get me wrong, I'm proud of my past self and all that- BUT! Since then... I have... gathered new knowledge (rubs my hands maliciously)
So here we are! New looks for @greatlyblessed boys!

Hope you like them ❤️

Nerplex blocked me, here's the bean. Reblogs of blogger who nerplex didn't block
What did I do wrong? Telling you to sauce URL offends you?
Man, I'm gonna be canceled here. I guess this shall be the time we act now. Love you all, gamers, who still with me of course.
Wait!
It, gamers, if you're here, pls don't angry just yet. Actually, the story is funny. Uhh a blogger, nerplex yes, said your name and others, but without sauce URL. Plus that person blocked me and of course no reason given.
Look, I'm trying to save your clout... I mean make you popular! Idk what's the say here, point is, I want to be the good example of how to credit properly, when I am really lazy. Well very easy! As possible, attribute sauce URL! That's it at least.
Again, above picture's not mine, there's your sauce who drew this. You're welcome. You must act too, don't stay there! Spread that sauce to other friends!! I beg you. Artists deserves respect, and thefts (same reuploader but did not sauce URL) deserves.. You got the idea.
Here, my subsidiary are making changes, and they're in the process of spilling the bean. Actually this subsidiary was the outlying connector to one my division, Archive Division. Not to be confused with Archive.org, that's different story.
So from now on, if you see your art reuploaded here (even it's still live on the sauce), pls don't cancel me, I beg you. Look I promise I attach the sauce URL of it. even my own art, all has URLs to source SVG, Blend, etc. We are the company of Sauce, we want gamers to know where did you downloaded this file.
Okay, to disrespectful gamers. You. You block me, you left no choice. I wanted to reblog and that's it. I never wanted to talk to you, unless you asked for it, or whatever neverary. I just commented your post, And tried my best to not offend you in assumption of universal ethic settings as far as I know. If you had it here, we'll it's your fault. I wanted to reblog but [tumblr] says it's gone, and you're not deactivated. Peck you. I can't fathom why did you do that, when you could've only & exclusively block scam spam bots instead. Want to me stop? Just unblock me, and the trouble is over. That's all I want.
I don't know and I cannot know why I'm blocked coz that happens to be the social media common ethics (that's really flawed). So want it or not, blocking, ................ means provocation. Right?.. I.. Won't see why!! HUH?! If I was making social media, I make sure they tell the reason why. Oh, this account is scammer, so I may a look at it to confirm. Oh, I just hate this guy, and I can take a look at it and then... No, not ban. Maybe send that person to class idk. This is just concept, more need to design.
Ok back to you again. Yeah. I'm sorry. I lost all my sanity. Everyday, the world.. derails my mental condition, through this. Idk if they got hacked.. or just.. hate me?
yeah. idk anymore. what do you think?
Huh, Yeah?
isn't queen gambit method may cause trouble to yourself?
.. Who said I'm gonna often post that [tumblr] url here? Well.. perhaps I don't have to, instead. Scroll down. Ctrl + F keyword of "block". You'll see. Okay you may not see it now. Soon. and more soon.
.
That's all for today. I'm sorry if there is mistake or whatever wrong here. Got comment, let us know, idk.
Edit:
Being resolved
Update soon
Edit 2:
Failed
Pls do not bad against

Why is Rachel considered a masculin charecter?
Rachel's "masculine" character
That seems to be a common misunderstanding within the fandom, which I also fell victim to for a while. I think it stems from the English fan translation (perhaps even the French licensed translation?) about her in the Character Guide.
Yana-san tried to clear that up a while later, like in tweets or something, but it's still a pervasive misconception.
What Yana-san was trying to say is that Rachel is a strong-willed woman, much like Vincent says of the Phantomhive women. In "With Father" he was mostly talking about his sister and mother, but he probably chose to marry a woman who shares many of the same characteristics.
Rachel doesn't have the strongest physical health, given her severe asthma, but she's clearly (per the Character Guide and Vincent) the disciplinarian in the family, not Vincent. And we've seen her take charge of a situation when Vincent didn't know what to do or say (when real Ciel says he doesn't want to become earl anymore). She's also canonically the one who names the boys, since Vincent says so, explaining to the real Vicar Rathbone that he's no good with choosing names and that Rachel named their own sons.
She's also got a rather raunchy sense of humor (grabbing her little sister's boobs and being openly envious of her for her endowments). Madam Red might have developed her own naughty sense of humor partly influenced by Rachel's.
Idk exactly how the original Japanese words it in the Character Guide, but at least one translation came up with "masculine" to describe her personality. Like I said above, the fandom -- including me -- ran with it. I haven't deleted the old posts I made about it, but there should be reblogs or comments or both on some of the old posts, where I try to clear up the confusion. And there should be some newer posts, like this one, where I explain the misunderstanding.
Rachel's strong-willed and not particularly demure, with her occasionally raunchy and scathing wit. She takes charge of situations when her husband isn't sure what to do. She's the one who spanks the children when they misbehave, and so they fear her more than their father. Some would call this "masculine" of her... and that's possibly how the misunderstanding came about in the first place. She doesn't 100% fit gender norms of the Victorian era. But then again, who truly did?
Personally, I find characters who fit 100% to some stereotype to be one-sided and boring. Rachel strikes me as an interesting, multifaceted character. And we still hardly even know her....

Please read‼️
Hi, I wanted to clarify something really fast about something said about me and my thing with Alex and Clef
First of all, the thing was born years ago, and it was like "What if", Alex was not the kid Clef knew as a child, neither the goddess. Alex was born in the cult years before the 4231, in a different place. She was not the girl with the failed abortion (682), she is a woman who escaped from the cult, and who must deal with the consequences that it left on her. A confusing identity, mixed between what could be said to be the presence of A'zieb, and herself as a person
Alex and Clef didn't know each other until the foundation, when she arrived she was 27 and Clef around his 30, they didn't know anything about each other
It took years until they finally knew what connected them in a certain way about the cult
I'm very sorry I didn't clarify it before, I didn't realize that this left the door open to bad misinterpretation

The israeli settlers (and i'm using 'settlers' as in 'people who are directly stealing land', not the israeli people as a whole) aren't some hapless refugees who were put into empty houses on empty land. They show up, armed, and drive palestinians out of their homes, under threat of beatings and in some cases, death. And this isn't a thing that happened decades ago and nobody knows who's home it is and we "can't return it" or whatever, it is ACTIVELY happening. There are many palestinians who have lost their home, had to flee to a neighbors home, only for that to be stolen by settlers too. This is the context in which 'stolen land' must be viewed.
I think you're very much coming in good faith, but a lot of people are using "settler" to refer to all Jews who live in Israel. Your way of using it is generally how I would, but it serves different rhetorical purposes to different people.
For clarity: The people who were attacked Saturday morning are residents of towns and kibbutzim near Gaza and are on the other side of the country from the West Bank settlements. They are not settlers in the sense that you or I would use the term, but there are many people who don't make the distinction.
And there may be some intentional obfuscation tbh; it's easier to sway people to the cause if you convince them that the victims are settlers in the sense you or I would use it.

I've received several inquiries regarding the other members of Alex's unit/pack & whether TF 141 or other canon characters will be among them.
Simply: No.
Longer answer: No, because Alex is an American soldier in the U.S. Army (regular, not SpecOps and certainly not CIA) in this AU.
TF 141, Farah Karim, Los Vaqueros, Keegan, and König have nothing to do with the U.S. Army.
:D

Hey y’all just wanna say thank you to everyone who likes and reblogs/interacts with my posts, also thank you to everyone who requests as well, I sometimes have creative blocks so requests always help.
Anyway, I just wanna say my stories aren’t for the faint of heart, I should definitely put trigger warnings on them but my whole blog is a massive trigger warning lol.
I like to tap into the darker side of things in my stories, so they do include a lot of dark themes and I understand it’s not comfortable for everyone, I’m sorry and I don’t want to offend anyway, so moving forward, if you’re seeing my blog for the first time I am a Dead Dove Writer, I write DL stories with dark themes that are definitely taboo but they include: violence, gore, drugs, dark sexual content, suicide, homicide, etc. If you do not like such things please stay off my blog then for your own sake. Thank you have a great day/night :)

Aziraphale gave away one book, not two, for the meeting/Ball
I’ve seen a lot of people post about the multiple books Aziraphale gave away and how surprising it was. It is definitely notable that he gave any books away, but I think the number and context are important.
He went to Mr. Arnold first because he would play a key role in the Ball. After the music shop owner directly said that nothing could get him to attend the meeting, Aziraphale offered him the Doctor Who annual. However, it was in exchange for bringing a harpsichord and a quartet of musicians, with less than 12 hours notice, to the meeting. So it wasn’t just bribery to attend- it was payment for a performing musician. I have no idea what something like the annual would be worth, but I assume it was fair compensation.
The second book, the magic book for Mr. Mott, he offered to lend, not give it.
So Crowley was definitely surprised that Aziraphale gave away a book, but it was just the one and it had a plausible explanation at the time.

@mrs-monaghan hey there! Forgive me I have to answer you this way because Tumblr was not letting me reply to you in the comments.
Before answering your questions I would like to tell you that these are just my interpretations. Your views can be different and no one is invalidating them , now if you ask me about the Tokyo of course that happens 100% , do I see it as Jk's love for Jimin of course but do I label that love . Then my answer is No . Because as I said how I view their relationship and what is reality can be different and I just appreciate their bond without any labels .
The other things that you mentioned :- U wanna explain the sexual? What I explain and what you think might be totally different I am a 26 year old woman and trust me I have my fair share of attractions , but we can never predict what the other person's relationship is just by looking through a screen . Please tell me why Jimin had his foot on JK's crotch in BV1. Now about this thing I don't think it means anything, let me tell you why have you seen that one video where Jimin's or Jk's hand goes to Jin's crotch . Things of this nature are not equivalent to proofs , it can be views of people which again I am saying can be different from others. I also wanna understand why JK would look at Jimin's ass then adjust his dick multiple times if Jimin didn't turn him on? HAVE YOU SEEN HOW MANY TIMES BTS WATCH JIMIN WITH BEDROOM EYES. The point you have here is sheer projection and your interpretation, there can be truth but also there can't.
Have you watched the video where Jimin and Hobi were in a tub and how Hobi was watching Jimin , saying his name , caressing him .
See?? These are all our own interpretations , but reality can be different and that doesn't mean Jikook doesn't have a bond. Of course they have a bond , I would just not put a label to it . You can say they are closer , so people calling them platonic are also correct .
As I said in my original post we can enjoy their bond however we want but we shouldn't condemn others' opinions too .
Bangtan is a dear for all , and everyone should enjoy them however they want in a healthy way .
