lesbians will do this at a slumber party and then fucking obliterate Fathethriel when he dares to suggest his gaydar was a lil bit tipped off

I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING

in Fantasy High Sophomore Year, when Fig does the whole "i disguise myself as him" bit, Ally says, "You should grab him and say 'I've got it from here'" implying that the fake dwarf (Fig) would render the real dwarf obsolete.

almost that exact same thing happens later in the Nightmare Forest, when the Fake Fig tells Fig "I've got it from here" rendering the real Fig obsolete.

rewatching ep 1 and i realised there’s a point where riz, gorgug, and adaine (and figs if she’s staying with gilear) paths meet on their way to aguefort and id like to think that they all walk to school together

Fig's line "I don't think I'm an artist, I think I'm just a good friend" has not left my head at all. Just...

You're Fig Faeth and your horns came in over the summer and you pick up the bard class as a form of adolescent rock 'n' roll rebellion, and it works! It's exactly the outlet you need! You give a guy you just met drumsticks and you start a band and it's good enough that within a year and a half you're touring. You are, in every sense, good at being a bard.

And then, finally, your junior year, you start to take it seriously. Your art goes from an outlet and a form of rebellion to a practice. A discipline. (Can rebellion exist within a discipline?) Your classmates know what they want to do with their work. They all have a thesis statement. And yeah, there's cohesion in the music you make, but you've never had to think about why you make it. You've never sat down and dissected what it is about bass that speaks to you. You've never poured over your lyrics to pick at any deeper meaning. Why should you? You don't play music for a grand design, you do it to... huh, why do you do it?

(Your art is the one form of self-expression that feels as safe as Disguise Self does, because even if you're pouring your heart onto the page and then screaming it in front of thousands of people, it's not like you're really making yourself known. You can sing I'm lonely, I'm scared, I'm furious, and your fans will sing it right back, and there will still be the distance between performer and audience to keep your heart safe.)

Now you're being asked to look inward to explain the artistic choices you're making, and you can't help but recoil at that, because you'd rather do anything than look inward. Meanwhile, your classmates have no problem with it, so you start to wonder if you're a real artist at all. Can your art be authentic if it only exists to bolster a thesis statement? Has your art been unauthentic this whole time because you've never really thought about a thesis statement before? Is that what makes it art, and not just the next track on somebody's teen angst playlist?

You can't think about yourself— acknowledging your own existence makes you want to puke. So if your music is an extension of yourself, (and it is, even if it's just because the spotlight reveals only what you want it to,) you can't think about your music. You can't. You have to. Your grade depends on it.

You're Fig Faeth, and you keep multiclassing because you'd rather be a good friend than a great artist. If introspection is what great art demands, then fuck it. You must not be a bard at all.

No idea how I haven't done this yet When I spent months on this app drawing peoples rare pairs. Should I be killed for this be honest

Soooooooooooo did Fig make a deal with the yogurt demon that was haunting her dad and making her dad's life super shitty, and did she like... accept the bad luck yogurt curse or something?

Cause all of a sudden he's engaged to the woman of his dreams, winning things and getting cruises and wearing ironed clothes and 'being kissed by lady Fortune'? And Fig... has acid reflux from lemon yogurt, is randomly stepping in buckets of wet cement, lost all of her money, is failing school and has potentially lost her career as a rockstar???

It kinda seems like Fig took her Dad's bad luck via some sort of lemon yogurt demon deal?

GRANDMA FIG! !!!! 😭

meanwhile grandpa is just

i went to a fashion show today for one of my old mentees and baby… i don’t miss that scene at all. his showcase was great! he did an amazing job with his recent collection. that wasn’t the issue. that whole backstage life i really don’t miss. too fast paced. too much noise. i just was ready to go. i feel like i just got off a rollercoaster. i don’t wanna do that again.

POV: You're trying to balance being a supportive mother and making sure your daughter has a healthy relationship with herself

Goes with this.

And I'm tagging @karajluce cause it was her prompt xd

Fig, someone who spent her whole life thinking she was someone else, a tiefling raised as a wood elf and having her whole world come crashing down bc she was something else, someone who likes pretending to be other people because it comes easier to her than being herself and facing these difficult things life throws at her, going "I think you probably think I'm someone different than I am" and Ayda, smart and practical and logical above all else, immediately responding with "being mistaken about the nature of something and then discovering its true nature is my favorite thing in the world to do" has me ON THE FLOOR holy shit Fig if you don't kiss her I might

From an israeli newssource. He did not shoot at a synagogue or people leaving from a prayer service

The settlers he shot at are living on stolen land from beit hanina. A village that used to be populous and continously expanding now split by the Wall so one side lives in the "West Bank" and have permits different to the ones held on the other side of the wall in Jerusalem (which means the ones in the WB have to apply for a permit to go to the other side of beit hanina) Beit hanina is surrounded by 4 of these settlements and they are closing in. Suddenly the fig groves u could visit 5 years ago are off limits. Suddenly theres a new fence and now they are taking arable farming land to build a road for new israeli construction. No incident occurs in a vacuum this shooting is a result of decades of land dispossession.

To clarify Khairy did not come from Beit Hanina but a al Tur a neighborhood nearby. Khairy alQam's grandfather was shot to death by a settler in 1998. So did khairy shoot soldiers? No he shot what the western world would call civilians but these are not ordinary civilians these civilians carry guns they teach their children that palestinians are racially inferior they think they have a divine right to colonize palestinian land. They kill palestinians unprovoked and help soldiers in attacking them, cutting down olive trees and like last night in nablus burning and destroying palestinian property. Also importantly they were once iof and maybe some of them were currently drafted when they they were killed (if im wrong id be surprised but im not)

The settler project is not just soldiers (who are settlers as well im just trying to make it easier to understand) it's these settlers who are just as dangerous as the government as the iof and they will not stop expanding their settlements and making new "outposts."

watching Lous facial expressions during fantasy high is a treat bcs he's never out of character. from the moment he enters the dome every word he says is in contribution to his characterization of fabian which makes him a treat to watch. but um also, the scene where the bad kids gets mystery gifts in their lockers and later it's revealed to have been him he's cheezing so hard oh my god he's so happy not just cuz he's pleased w himself but his friends reactions literally cause him to glow
