Hello. Nothing to do with Snape or HP this time, and I'm sorry to annoy anybody with my feelings right now so please if you don't care about hearing anything a bit personal (and I do not blame anyone for that!), then do not feel any shame in skipping this post! (It's nothing of real importance anyway and I'll continue to make HP related posts!)

(I might delate it latter. I'm not especially super fond of exposing my feelings but if anyone want to talk about it I'll be very happy to do so)

I have very bittersweets and a rather hurting feelings about something, and I thought that maybe it is an experience that has ever happened to someone, and that maybe that someone would know how to cope with it and give me advices. At least, I think it may make me some good to get it out of my chest, even if it's a bit shamefull to expose.

I have been leaving in Japan for about 10 months now because I studied the language in France and had the chance to be able to participate in a cultural exchange. I've been frequenting a University in a little city in countryside called Tenri, made a lot of encounters of peoples from all over the world, with different cultures and languages.

Now the date of my departure is nearing, and while I'm not sure if I'll move back to France or move in Tokyô to find employement, most of my new friends will go back to their own home countries and I will for sure not be going back to Tenri before a very long time.

I'm already very sad about the goodbyes I'll have to do in the next 2 months, knowing that some peoples I'll probably never see again and I shared such incredible experiences with them that I already know how leaving them will be difficult. At least, I know that those feelings will in some great extend be mutual, and that I'll not be alone to be sad to part ways.

But, my biggest apprehension is to say goodbye to the Japanese coworkers, with whom I have been working for a few month as a part time job outside of my studies. I have been working in a Japanese convenient store and while it has arguably been one of the most difficult and challenging experience of my stay in Japan (because of the intensity of the job itself but moreso because of the difficulties of language barrier, both when dealing with clients and my colleagues), it ended up being one of the (if not the) things that brought the more happiness and rewarding feelings in my daily life. This work provided me with a feeling of belonging and some sense of confidence in myself in a moment I felt very isolated and helpless. Now, I realise that in one or two month, it will be over for good. Because this experience was very intense, I developped very strong feelings of loyalty and attachement towards my colleagues, that I know I should rather not have developped. I understand very well that they are unilateral, and that this is very normal because while for me it's an extremely out-of-comfort-zone experience that makes everything unique, for them I'm most probably just another temporary part-time employee - who looks a bit limited and awkward because not being able to apprehend the language perfectly, at that.

Therefore, I feel a big sadness at the idea that the farewell will be very hurting for me but most naturally not for my collegues. Japanese peoples are very kind, but they have a very different way of thinking than wersterners especially when it comes to social relationship and they are very reserved about expressing feelings. Therefore, I don't know if I can tell them what I feel to any extend without causing them uneasiness and maybe incomprehension (because, maybe for them we are not that close - my strong affective response is caused by my own circumstances) - and this is only if I'm able to express my feelings in Japanese, which is one of the most difficult things to do in any other language than your own. I'm very sad about parting ways, that I'll not be bold enough to communicate my gratitude, that this experience may not have real closure and that they might forget about me a few weeks after my departure.

It's not the first time I have to say goodbye, I graduated from schools and said goodbye to close friends and coworkers before. But never to people who live in the other side of the world from where my hometown actually is. This is the first time I have such intense feelings towards it. And some of these feelings I never had before.

It will be alright in the end, but for now I'm affraid about missing opportunities and not having a chance to be honest and sincere.

Is there anyone who ever felt those things, or would have advices of how to deal with it, I wonder.

are you ok with ppl who support Palestine following you?

Yes, 100% everyone's allowed their own opinion on the matter. I'm not against pro Palestinians or Palestinians themselves. Everyone is welcome here on my page and I don't want my previous post to make people leave.

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter. 

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge. 

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game. 

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely). 

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.

Do y’all ever reread an old unpublished fanfic you wrote and then get invested on the storyline but get sad because you never wrote the next part of it, just me?

cw:// doomer post about us politics and how it's ruined my mental health and escapism no longer feels possible

i fucking hate the world right now. like everything's on fire and no matter what i do or where i look i feel like all i see is the apocalyptic collapse of everything good in the world.

and i'm aware that hyper fixating on the death of american democracy and the terrifying efficiency with which the right is stripping away everyone's rights, is really not good for. but also i feel like i need to be super informed.

and even when i try to tune out and delve into escapism, all i can think about is how almost all media i like; super heroes, high fantasy, gay dead wizards from the 1970s, is like vaguely problematic and societies collective obsession with wealth and glorification of the rich and powerful has like bleed into everything about our culture, and it all just makes me feel so fucking helpless.

like all i want to do it zone out for a few hours thinking about fairy tales with brave knights and shining armor and dragons and swords and shit, or read a fucking batman comic. but my brain just keeps circling back to the fact that the world is ending and there is almost nothing i can do to fix that, because the fucking democrats are too cowardly to risk their own positions and power to do anything at all to help literally anyone, and the republicans are gleefully evil at this point and are just trying to make the world a worse place because they hate themselves and everyone else.

like how the fuck has the world gotten so shitty that escapism feels impossible and irresponsible?

A little context…

During one of the main quests with Sebastian, him and Ominis argue about something in the undercroft. While they were doing that I figured out that I could use Transformation on the boxes and benches in the area and turn them into random things. So while they were having a heated little argument I was messing around, chasing rabbits🐇 and toads🐸, and overall making a huge mess of the place, completely entranced by the fact that this was possible.

It was a moment that was so stupid I had to draw it, it’s been on the back burner of my projects for a bit and I finally had the motivation to finish it, so here it is 😅🎃

May I ask a question please? This is probably random and I mean no disrespect or casing any argument by it I promise but what do you think about Palestine? 

Oh boy. I knew I'd get this question eventually. Waring for political stuff which some people may not like, or well just my opinion some people may not like it. I also apologize for how long this took to write. As well, this is just my opinion and I mean no hate by it.

I'm actually not so sure how to start this post. So I'll give a bit of background to why anon may be asking. They most likely saw the comments on one of @halfblood-princes-crown posts, a hater, let's call them Jane, well Jane went onto my blog after I called them out for being Antisemitic and saw the Israeli flag in my bio. Jane then came back and basically called me a colonizer, commented the Palestine flag a bunch of times and told me they hope one of the rockets (which I mentioned have been sent out of the Gaza Strip on two occasions since I moved here) they hoped that one of the rockets hits my home.

Now back to my opinion on Palestine, before moving here I was a staunch supporter of it, of everything they stood for and everything they wanted. I refused to move here and I got into constant fights with my parents over it. I read articles only from one point of view, I read articles like "IDF soldier kills innocent pedestrian" and so on, but these articles wouldn't mention that the pedestrian had pulled a knife and tried to kill someone.

My parents mostly left me to it, I'm not really sure where my opinions changed but it did somehow and sometime before we moved. I thankfully moved to a city that doesn't have many terrorist attacks/attempted murders. I also live far enough that in case of any missiles being shot out of the Gaza strip, my city is too for, normally, for them to reach here. But in my apartment one of the bedrooms is a bomb shelter.

I'm going to be honest, while living here I haven't done much thinking about Palestinians and their land, aka the Gaza Strip. Well, not until a few months ago over one weekend there were multiple missiles being shot from Gaza into Israel, and when I say multiple I mean over 1000 rockets.

Anyways I'm getting off course, you asked me my opinion on Palestine. I don't really have an opinion on the land itself, but the people there, I think they're troubled people who are stuck under the rulings of multiple terrorist groups like Hamas, PIJ, The Lion's Den. And those are just a few. I think a lot of them have been brainwashed into thinking us the villans. I mean Israel and our government aren't saints but no government is. Just like other governing bodies, we too have blood on our hands.

Majority of the times when an IDF soldier kills it's in defense against a terrorist or someone trying to murder or maim. Or at least to my knowledge from research and discussions with others.

Anyways I was asked what I think of Palestine, I think the people there deserve rights, I believe they deserve happiness. But I don't think it's currently obtainable. Not with the amount of terrorist groups practically running their lands and no attempts at peace being made.

I think and I hope eventually that Israel and Palestine will come to an peace agreement of sort and I hope it will come as soon as possible. When the time comes and peace is obtained, I will welcome my fellow Palestinians with open arms and welcome them.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you are allowed to have a favorite character out of a particular ship. You’re allowed to mostly focus on that character in any fics or art you create. You’re allowed to have a lesser understanding of their counterpart. You do not need to have every ounce of lore in order to ship them. Heck- you can even just like a ship for vibes.

Just because you love a ship doesn’t mean both characters are your absolute favorites. You’re allowed to relate more to one over the other. You’re allowed to make that other character your focus.

Pansy: Listen, Draco, you don’t have to explain to me how you feel about Potter. I know it’s l—

Draco: L…loathe?

Pansy: No. L…

Draco: I…look down on him because he’s horrible?

Pansy: No! You l…

Draco: I like…Potter?

Pansy: Close! But not quite there yet!

Draco: What then? I lov—no. No! If you mean what I think you mean, no. I don’t feel that way for Potter!

Pansy: You do.

Draco: You’re insane! This is ridiculous! I will not stand here and listen to your accusations!

Pansy: I saw you hyphenate yours and his last name together the other day, Draco.

Draco: That is—completely unrelated!
