I'm allowed to make this joke, but I love that Jewish death rituals are like:
"Pfeh, for what should I spend $12,000 on a big fekakte box they see only for five minutes before they cover it with dirt?"
"Don't waste my good suit what might fit my nephew Lev if the bum should ever even try to get a real job!"
"Embalming? Don't mind me, I'll rot in the dark."
#There is standardized Yiddish transliteration and I fart in it's general direction#Anyway Jewish ritual plain box simple shift closed casket no embalming#Spend money on bagels for after#There are a lot of prescribed behaviors for how to behave at the Shiva (mourning house calls)#My family observes none of them. We treat it like a family reunion#If you want all my petty family funeral drama though maybe a different post?#But seriously Christian funerals are such a huge scam. Taking advantage of people at their most vulnerable.#If you have an iron stomach go read about what happens to a corpse when it decays in a vacuum sealed coffin#Death#Death rituals#Judaism#jewish#Jumblr#Jew stuff#post o' mine#Clearing out the drafts#Offensive Yiddish accent clichés are for Jews only.#For this we came to America? To get made fun of on the feygele website by our great grandchildren?

i know probably nobody following me is even relatively in this fandom but I just finished s5 of the dragon prince and I gotta tell you. the canonical lovechild of the gay-coded villains was not something I saw coming
#OLD MAN YAOI MPREG REAL?????????#when he said OUR child I stg I have never been more shocked appalled and enthralled in my life#like it makes sense of course it was made from a joining of....... fluids.........#magic sex ritual tbh#and then to immediately divorce??#I can't believe this shit#the dragon prince#tdp#viren#aaravos#viren x aaravos#viravos#they've always been strangely compelling in a deeply fucked up way but I didn't think the show knew that#they said we've given you 4.9 seasons of some of the best queer rep on tv#now get ready for the most toxic shit you can imagine

you'll see them again !
too many thoughts and things done with Intent to fully explain myself . partially bc this was supposed to be much much longer, but i think i would like to play more in the space of post-game loop.
#finallyw finished the game . i'm dunking them into the primordial soup ^.^#before i forget#isat spoilers#isat act 6 spoilers#anyways . i created a very specific analogy of how the universe and the big bang Works when i was 8 and i will never shut up about it#whatever space our universe inhabits Was like a completely still lake and the big bang was something disturbing the surface.#our universe expands and will eventually run out of energy like a ripple on that lake#regardless of how their world Actually works . i think that something like that would be a popular belief in sif's country#vague idea rolling around . loop fades or is like . Somewhere Between. siffrin's unintentional rituals keep them around#something triggers them to properly exist again (i promise there are themes here) and they wash up on the shore of vauguarde#they are especially malleable for a little bit . kind of going through craft metamorphosis . they are given a place to stay for a while#there is more but these tags are already ridiculously long . someone talk to me abt them before i go nuts#frogart

This is your biweekly reminder that there is no wrong way to be into media as a regressor!
If you like scary characters and making fluffy content about them being your caregivers, that's wonderful. They would be so very careful with you!
If you like darker content when you're regressed and scary characters being possessive of you, that's also great! They'll never let you go anywhere without them.
If you need to block all horror content when you're regressed, that is so valid! You're not too sensitive, it's scary stuff and you deserve to be safe and feel good!
If you love to watch gory content and horror shows when you're regressed, that's also valid! Your interests don't have to be what other people expect, and what's safe for you doesn't need to be the same as what's safe for bio kids.
This is true for everyone, but it's important to remember as regressors! This is our safe space and it's important to both keep each other safe by tagging our content, and respecting what other people find comforting.
#always sad to see judgment in the agere community#we're all a little strange here#i understand the tendency to caution#but there really is no need to be mean about it#we are all lovely little creatures doing our best#and i think we deserve to play with our stuffies and our characters however we want#whether that's playing ritual sacrifice or playing house#fandom agere#positivity#horror mention#ask to tag

I have always held, too, that pistol practice should be distinctly an open-air pastime; and when Holmes, in one of his queer humours, would sit in an arm-chair with his hair-trigger and a hundred Boxer cartridges, and proceed to adorn the opposite wall with a patriotic V. R. done in bullet-pocks, I felt strongly that neither the atmosphere nor the appearance of our room was improved by it.
holmes when he first meets watson and learns he has ptsd: oh no would a violin be too loud for you???
holmes like 3 days later: *shooting an actual gun indoors at the wall like the hooligan he is*
#sherlock holmes#letters from watson#the musgrave ritual#SHERLOCK PLEASE HES A WAR VET#also watson sounds so passive aggressive here lmao#'well i just dont think shooting the wall makes our apartment any more *homey* sherlock but maybe thats just me'

Domestic bowuigi thoughts, whenever Luigi either visits or in an essence 'comes home' to Bowsers Castle he naturally takes his shoes off at the door not wanting to traipse mud into his husbands house happy to trade them for the personal slippers waiting at the door for him (first time they were there for him probably nearly cried like personal slippers?? For me?? "yea of course my love you're part of the family? Are you okay?" ;~; yea just gonna cry)
However whenever he's leant over undoing his shoe laces to slip off his boots he absolutely has to contend with whichever Koopaling has heard him return running up and proceeding to smoosh and rub their face against his cap his cheek his mustache ect. They're so happy to see him they absolutely gotta smoosh their face into him! So he's there like yes yes hello I love you too I'm home as he does his boots, he's probably also started to playfully smoosh his face back against theirs. And bowser absolutely scoops him up to smoosh against him too cause gotta scent mark the hubby make him smell like home.
Basically the Koopa family are cats and this is very much based off my cat who when I'm leant over undoing my boots proceeds to rub his face against mine probably scent marking but happy to see me.
#Bowuigi#Domestic bowuigi#Luigi is also dad#Luigi#Bowser#They're cats#Gotta rub and smoosh against their dad#Make sure dad smells like home and house and not the stinky mushroom kingdom#When Luigi starts doing it back the kids are buzzing cause yes! Mutual scent bonding! Accepted!#Luigi doesn't realise that's what it is he just thinks it's probably a greeting ritual and thus returns jt#And yea it kinda is but also lmao rescent dad so he smells like js#Our Luigi now bitch#It's ours he smells like us!!#People with cats probably absolutely know what I mean with the face rubbing smooshing against

The first thing I should ever have said about Izzy and the last thing I intend to say until at least October 26th.
[Although I am not Her strongest soldier, so who knows if I will stick the landing.]
So to start with, I was a "late" arrival to the show. I knew it existed of course, but I only occasionally saw things that reminded me it existed. The first time I saw a mention of "grumpy/sunshine" it was with a picture of Ed and Stede, so I guess on some level I knew there was shipping going on, but that was literally all I knew. I didn't even know it involved Blackbeard lol.
Which is all to say that I first approached and watched season 1 removed from basically anything anyone had to say about it. I think what actually got me to watch it wasn't anything anyone had to say either, it was from youtube recommendations? Like I think I had watched a couple Taika interviews or something and ofmd stuff started showing up? So after catching a few clips and intentionally spoiling the kiss for myself (life is too short to be queerbaited) I watched it in April/May 2023, and was Changed by it the way so many other people were. It grabbed me so hard I started looking for fics, and when fic grabbed me even harder I became a regular tumblr user for the first time ever in June 2023.
What I didn't do, before the second half of 2023, was care particularly much about Izzy Hands.
I remember describing him as psychologically fascinating to the first IRL friend I talked to about the show, and joking that he just needed a good dom. As much as his decision to call in the navy was a threat to Stede's and Ed's lives, I saw his actions as part of a thing needed for the story, and while I knew he was one of the season's villains there wasn't really any heat behind that assessment.
For me he was there to set things in motion, and to serve the narrative in certain ways, to be a foil, more storytelling tool than man. That doesn't mean I didn't think Con did an excellent job adding layers to him, he absolutely made Izzy take up space and feel more present and textured than he otherwise might have. But when I began to zoom out and consider things on meta level, Izzy existed to do a certain thing or occupy a certain place in relation to the narrative and other characters more than anything else. And that was fine.
Then I started reading meta here, and found myself surrounded by passionate conversations about Izzy from many directions occurring with an intensity that I couldn't wrap my brain around. I saw people tying themselves into knots to justify and excuse the behavior of a textual antagonist, and I was baffled and because I still saw Izzy for what his role in the narrative was, it literally made no sense to see his behavior explained away. In the framework I brought to the fandom when I first arrived, trying to explain away Izzy's behavior would be like looking at a forest fire and trying to explain away processes like combustion and oxidation. Or if you'll allow me to borrow another extended, nature-based metaphor from a fic in an entirely different fandom:
Again, because from where my head was at, it didn't make sense to look at Izzy's morality as a zero sum game because in this metaphor, he was functionally just a brackish body of water. I'm not saying the morality is brackish, I'm saying the morality was literally not the point because like an estuary, an antagonist "must exist" because antagonists exist for specific reasons directly related to storytelling goals.
So there was no real heat behind my feelings about him or his actions, beyond the natural emotional reactions we have to characters and their behaviors before we zoom out. I was of course upset with his treatment of Lucius, which was targeted compared to other members of the crew. I was annoyed with the way he talked to and about Ed. I laughed when his plans had the equal and opposite results of what he intended, which you could argue happened with every single plan he made for the entirety of season 1. And yes, especially as a Black person living in the US, I felt the fear and betrayal that comes from seeing someone call the cops (which given the show and its writers, it does not feel like a stretch to describe calling the navy that). I wondered if there was any coming back from a choice like that, which is a big overriding question for the series as a whole.
I'm not here to debate any of the points in the previous paragraph. I know how I feel and you feel how you feel and there's already been so much said about the morality of it all by people who have explained themselves well, so let them convince you or not. Instead I've been trying to talk about the two sides of my experience before and after getting into the fandom with Izzy.
Before: Izzy Hands, Narratively Useful Antagonist Portrayed Compellingly And Effectively by Con O'Neill.
After: Izzy Hands, Unfortunate Avatar Of The Sadly Common Tendency For Certain Fans To Hyperfocus On A White Antagonist Or Secondary Character When There Already Exists A Protagonist They're A Foil Of (And Also It Looks Bad TO Do That When The Protagonist Is Someone With A Marginalized Identity).
I'm not here to argue the merits of those assessments either, because that's not the point. The point is the vast gulf between them and how the latter does such an incredible disservice to the Izzy we were given and that so many people claim to love. The latter comes from a place where morality is the focus, which I'm sorry y'all, feels like it originates with people who refuse to countenance Izzy's role in the story as well as his characterization.
Viewers who were willing to see Izzy as an antagonist, who don't view the word "antagonist" as a value judgement in and of itself, who don't think that finding an antagonist charismatic or compelling means anything about their own morality, those people can look at the show we were given and take it for what it was made to be. I'm not saying that it's only the Izzy stans (not enjoyers, not jar people) who start fights or that people who understand that Izzy is an antagonist don't also have deep morality related feelings about him and his actions in the first season. What I am saying is that sanding off Izzy's rough edges and trying to make him into something he isn't poisons even the possibility of having a discussion about him because people enter the conversation with two completely different understandings of reality. If you cannot accept the job that season 1 Izzy was given to do to move the story along, well you might as well have watched a completely different show for how much that fanon Izzy has anything to do with the canon one.
This show deserves better than that. The writers deserve better than that. Con O'Neill deserves better than that. Israel Basilica Hands deserves better than that. We all do.
#I know some of y'all are allergic to calling season 1 Izzy a villain or even an antagonist much less a villain#but given how self aware this production is about tropes it's weird to pretend that's not literally his function#at least in season one#maybe there are changes to that on the horizon#but we won't have the complete picture until Oct. 26 so maybe chill if people have an antipathy toward him#especially because at least a third of that antipathy is rooted in how criticizing him AT ALL acts like a summoning ritual#and I have to wonder about the acrimony levels if people felt like they could offer critical opinions easily#anyway rip my notifications probably#ofmd#our flag means death spoilers#ofmd spoilers#ofmd speculation#ofmd meta#fandom meta#fandom fuckery#character meta#let izzy be izzy#izzy hands#izzy critical#the izcourse#and now to filter literally every Izzy tag until November so I can enjoy the season in peace#that's as close as I'll make it to the halcyon days of my season 1 watch#ofmd s2#ofmd season 2#ofmd season 2 spoilers#ofmd s2 spoilers#ofmd s2 speculation#ps I won't be responding to replies because look at the title of this post
