A basket of fruits is gingerly placed in front of Adonia, filled to the brim with quite a variety: Harra Fruit, Henna Berries, and Zaytun Peaches. "... thought it might be nice to get you some local fruits. At least local to my home, anyway; other continents upon Teyvat have their own specialties. Though Harra Fruit is pretty strong for just eating on its own, it does have a nice spice-like scent to it."
- @sylvctica
"This is a surprisingly thoughtful gift." Perhaps not that surprisingly, but Sylvie would be quick to notice Adonia's joking tone. Harmless teasing, much like the wind gently nipping at your skin. His solitary travel through Teyvat has earned him a handful of interesting knowledge, but he accepts gifts and goodwill gestures all the same. A polite bow as he reaches over for one of the peaches, long fingers brushing against the velvety texture of the fruit's skin.
"And one that calls for a return gift. As odd as they might look, would you be opposed to it?" Not many could grasp at the chance of eating something that simply should not exist in their reality, anyway. "I would be interested if you could treat me to more food that is comforting to you." There is always an exchange. As Sylvie gifts the fey something, Nature give it back. "I could probably task one of my children to deliver a treat to you." Not that they would linger overmuch, as Adonia plays the role of Observer and steers clear of influencing the world in any significant manner. As sharp teeth sink into soft, sweet flesh... Adonia ponders what manner of surprise - and creativity - could be put into a return gift. Something just recently made, perhaps. The offspring of a vibrant flower, something that would make any human collapse upon ingestion.
It would certainly be something that a divinity could take without too severe consequences.

@guideoftime sent
Sheik was struggling.
He has been struggling since the timeline was reset and he woke up in the body of a seven year old with the added bonus of too many memories and a dead mother. Not that Impa was dead, but being sentenced to the life of a Sage was practically no different. Everyone he spoke to seemed under the impression she was dead. They couldn’t be blamed, he reasoned, they didn’t remember. No one remembered.
The things the Hero and him did. The trials and tribulations they went through. The blood he spilled. None of it happened and his mind seemed to have a hard time wrapping around that. Sheik was too old in a body too young, and a vindictive part of his brain wanted to ask; was this how Link felt? Too young in a body too big? He never had a chance to ask that. Never had a chance to sit and just play music with him, for the sake of playing it, not to teach him the spell to go to a dangerous place.
Sheik—probably grew too fast this time. He tormented the guards because he was stressed and upset, he acted out, he trained his body hard to take his stress out on something. By the time he was already the age he’d started his journey at, he finally wrapped his head around what was going on and calmed down. At least, until he paid a visit to the Korok’s forest.
Learning Link went to Termina was a blow he wasn’t prepared for. He doesn’t know what he expected to find in the forest, his heart had just been cold and empty. What he learned there though, seemed to make it freeze over. Honestly, he didn’t expect the man to return and he wouldn’t blame him for not. Hyrule was a place that probably held too many memories, too cruel or thoughts, that much was something he could agree on. But it hurts that he left, in a way he can’t explain. It almost feels like he was left behind.
As an adult, an actual one, the King finally prompted him to Zelda’s retainer. Her guard. It wasn’t a position he wanted, nor was it one he got a say in. This was what the Sheikah were born for, defending and protecting the Royal family. Doing their bidding. Their dirty work. Sheik spends most of his days stuck beside Zelda hidden away somewhere. Watching her, making sure no one tries to hurt her.
He hates it. He’s bored. Sheik wasn’t designed for court life. It shows. He was built for a war that ended but his body doesn’t seem to realize that.
He was wandering around the Castle today, Zelda had sent him on an errand to Lan Lan Ranch that only took him a few hours to complete. He was spending the rest of his time just trying to clear his head. He was half tempted to find the library and read a book. Anything to distract himself. One of the guards he passed made a snide comment, muttered under his breath to his coworker. He doesn’t seem to realize Sheik has above average hearing and he catches the jab. “Sheik the Sheikah.” His name was not funny, there’s depth and meaning to it.
He’ll happily educate them.
As he pulls one of his blades at his thigh, just to startle them he won’t stab them yet, he feels someone else’s hand grab at his wrist. Hard. Covered in a glove. Thick leather. He seems to know it before he even has to look. Who it is. A hand he often watched wrapped around the hilt of a sword.
His heart races. Catches in his throat. There’s the slightest bit of a tremble and he turns.
Blood red eyes meet a pair of very familiar blue.
“Hero.”
Bits and pieces of memory brings him to hyrule castle. Memories that come in a blur and not all at once. One thing that is very vivid in his mind is a Sheikah. Someone that feels familiar and someone he wishes to seek out, if only for answers.
Getting into the castle unseen is easy. He finds a weak spot, sneaks past guards, and into a hidden passageway he had found. He doesn't want them asking questions, he's not fond of talking to folks if he doesn't have to, and it's just better to sneak in.
Now that he's in, though, and eyes land on that familiar sight, his first instinct had been to approach slowly. However, that flies out the window when he notices the other has a blade. Whatever the guard was saying to him doesn't matter.
It is pure instinct that drives him forward to quickly wrap his fingers around that wrist and stop him. When the other turns to him, Link swears he can feel his breath hitch in his throat.
Hero.
As expected, the guy knows him. It's not a surprise, not if his blurry memories are anything to go by. It's more of a relief. Blue eyes are determined, meant to display that he's not going to let him go until he's sure Sheik isn't going to go stabbing people.
"Drop the blade. Let it go. Whatever he said, it's not worth it."

“word of advice... be very alert on where you're going in the shadows."
Send “Word of advice...” and tell my muse some advice!
"...Thanks," It's all she manages to mutter out. If she was planning on freaking Ismael out in any way, then she has succeeded. "I try not to go out late at night, though."

🚶 - to go on a long walk together
She'd still be willing to? In a way, he finds it strange, to see that there's time they're making for each other beyond the aftermath of what was an outright disaster. Unreasonable anger had flared towards her as a means to mare her, to soothe that ever bigger pool of regret that ran frigid in his own veins.
Somehow they fought past it.
Again and again, never letting the threads fray into something that even a breath could snap apart.
Acheron always felt like a distant person by nature, as if you're accepting companionship from a hollow essence in itself. Caelus found time and time again that he simply doesn't mind. In a grand continuity like theirs? Nothing is absolutely another brand of Something all the same. So let's allow this great, sprawling and fragile dream to be their stomping ground.
Open aired spaces, for the time, stuffy corridors were simply becoming old hat. (Those whispers being a taunting force that ached to cater to his volatile side.)
A dreamed up beach was pretty nice.
Each crunch of their boots underneath the actualized sand joined in the replicated music of nature. From the waves sliding in a continuous ebb and flow, to the brisk winds that nearly looped if someone were to really strain their ears to it. For the Trailblazer, it was enough, his eyes found themselves often peering towards the Galaxy Ranger in this instance of simply.. connecting.
For they have a history they've etched in a share of experiences within and outside of Penacony. They hold a language that finds itself openly expressed but even beyond the sight of the Memokeeper herself. That nearly empty gaze crowned by flowing tresses of violet held something. It could simply be a product of his nature to reach forth and demand of what.
On another end? Caelus could simply want to get to know this wayward master of the blade, she looked like a force content to keep moving rather than settling down for any prolonged time. A good and potent intake of the salted sea air was sniffed in, the emotion that composed it, the experiences in this malleable land of wish creation could formulate. Seeing manifestations of these very concepts as odd end treasures continued to make him aware.
"Say." His voice finally breaks the silence between them once again.
"What exactly does red mean to you?" Always the brazen soul, he decides to get directly to the point.

if you post an image in discord itll round the corners, but once you hit a certain smallness it rounds into a circle. so basically if you make an image that is 32x32 and you post it in discord itll go from this
to this.
so you basically can just draw a little face in mspaint or something and paste it into discord and itll look like a little emoji. you can potentially mess around with this a lot, its proportional to your image going smaller and it doesnt have to be a square either.
#I THINK THIS HAS A LOT OF FUN POTENTIAL#discord#i am reblog locking this bc i lack the ability to properly issue corrections (see replies)#and also because getting notes like this causes me some distress#please feel free to issue a version of this post that is more accurate yourself (any reader)#but i will refrain#i still think its fun tho i initially noticed this at the 16 scale where it works regardless#just have fun and express yourself in a carefree manner

with my nakba posts, here's some website recommendations if you want to learn on the history of specific depopulated palestinian areas:
palestine remembered is probably the most famous and comprehensive website with full documentations of former locations and depopulated villages. it also lists information on palestinian refugee camps, guestbooks, and the ability to submit pictures/info if you know of any. information on each village varies.
zochrot is an organization dedicated to teaching both palestinians and israelis about the 1948 nakba (which is not covered well if at all in israeli schools, as you can probably imagine), which includes documenting information on villages and even an app. information on each village varies.
the interactive encyclopedia for the palestinian question's places page has some detailed histories and a map as well, but doesn't go into the detail of the last two sites, and doesn't have pictures or sources.
some villages also have their own websites, and many of them are also in english (for example, the one i linked for kafr bir'im). honestly just look up (village name) + website and if it's there you'll find it.
wikipedia also has surprisingly comprehensive coverage of the villages, the articles include a little more of the "war" background than the other websites do. (and of course since it's wikipedia you can find further sources on there.)
all that remains: the palestinian villages occupied and depopulated by israel in 1948 is a famous book by palestinian historian walid khalidi which gives a detailed account of what became of 400 different depopulated palestinian villages. it was released in 1992, so it's not current, but many of the things he wrote still hold. a lot of the above links use this book as a source.
#palestine#wanted to include villagesofpalestine.com but the website isn't working for me#if anyone knows of any others please feel free to reply/reblog with them :)

“if readers take the time to leave comments on fics, then authors should at least take the time to reply.”
gently pats you on head. Babe. They already wrote the fic. For free. They gave you thousands of words to be judged and criticized. They don’t owe you anything on top of that.
#authors who respond to comments are great!#but it’s a cherry on top#not an expectation#it’s an added bonus to them already writing the fic#sometimes it’s a tactic to keep readers engaged in future chapters#but it is not and should never be an expectation#that authors owe you a reply#on top of everything else they already did#for free#ok sorry that got rant-y#don’t feel pressure to have to respond to comments!#writing#writers#readers#reading#just writing things#fandom#ao3

I really hate how ads have taken over the internet. On one hand, I know that hosting a website costs money, right? And ad revenue is one of the simplest ways for free-to-use websites to cover their operating costs.
My question is-- and I would genuinely love an answer-- is this ever going to stop? Tumblr ran for a long time without ads. So did Youtube. I know that the cost of hosting so much media has gone up, but there are a lot of users on these websites that make the content that drives people to use the service that don't see any of the money generated by this revenue. On Youtube, there's at least a way for creators to make some money from what they do. For most, it isn't much, but the opportunity is there. On Tumblr, well... the ability to convert the visibility of my blog into any financial gain practically nonexistent, though they did at one point promise that users would be able to make money from ads run on their blogs (whatever happened to that, Staff?).
"You can pay to avoid seeing ads!" Tumblr says, as if the views on my main blog alone over the past few years have not generated more than enough ad revenue to cover the price they're asking me to pay, the person who is actively making content that brings eyes to their ads.
I'm not mad at Tumblr for hosting ads. I get that it has to happen because it's the easiest way to keep the site free, and honestly, I imagine Tumblr's staunch opposition to monetization has been a real obstacle for the team building Tumblr. But at the same time, it feels like yet another small concession in the usability of the site. I'm tired of ads that auto-play with blaring audio while I'm scrolling. I'm tired of adds that, if I touch them while trying to scroll past them, take me to an external site. Outside of tumblr, I'm tired of looking for information online only to get a webpage that's 95% ads and otherwise illegible. Hell, I recently got an ad on Discord. Was it unobtrusive? Maybe. But it was there, for the first time, and I know that won't be the end.
I know the first reply I'm going to get on this is "use adblock", and yes, that's a solution, but think about how much the landscape for media has changed in just ten years.
Popular forums are basically gone outside of reddit.
Youtube, without Red, is ad hell. You can't watch more than 3-4 minutes of video without getting sent to marketing hell.
Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter-- it's terrible. I firmly believe they've manufactured a worse experience through the implementation of ads to convince you to buy into their premium services.
Just Check out this video of Penguinz0 trying to watch a video on a third-party site.
There's discussion of putting ads into video games.
Remember when games didn't include micro-transactions? Blizzard is charging $70 for one mythic skin. You could almost buy Overwatch 1 twice-over at that price-point.
Influencers make a living by making their lives into advertisements.
Youtube has retaliated against users using ad-block on non-chrome browsers by artificially inflating the load times of it's videos.
What can we do about this? I imagine companies see it as an infinite money hack; users can't stop companies from hosting ads, and the action they could take to voice their displeasure-- leaving the site, using other competitive services-- has been all but obliterated thanks to the homogeneity of popular social media outlets. If someone is truly so incensed about ads, well-- it isn't like they have to engage with them, right? They can enroll in a cheap, auto-renewing service to get rid of ads entirely. Well, wait, the price of premium might just have to go up. Don't worry, it's auto-renewing! You won't even notice it. Oh, no, it's got to go up again, you won't even notice it.
There's no incentive for them to cap this behavior, and no way for us as users to pressure them to do so. We create these spaces; we fill them with color, art, activism, community, and the companies that ride on the tailcoat of the spaces we create tell us to give them more. What comes next?

Today I went to a store with Sark, and inside they were unboxing huge Amazon pallets of returned goods. They had long rows of bins with boxes and stuff in them. Some of the boxes were labeled. Some were not but they would open them for you, but only 4 per day.
And then. There was this.
It's two foil packets, completely unlabeled. The texture inside is squishy, either viscous or shifting, it's hard to tell through the thick foil.
So of course we bought it.
We're going to open it in a few minutes. Sark is setting up outside though because, and I quote: "what if it's fart spray or something!"
Taking guesses!

I don't get why anyone thinks transmascs would just roll over and cry uncle or something and stop using a word to articulate how much it fucking sucks to be transmasculine right now. I was scared for my life when roe was overturned, I'm constantly angry to see my rights taken away just because of my birth sex and my gender identity. That's just for the US, but similar issues are affecting transmascs all over the world. There is no tumblr post that is going to make me "give up" and stop talking about this with whatever word I find useful. It's literally my life, I live it. The semantics mean absolutely nothing.
