I love you wilderness survival stories. I love you breakdown of social order that gives credence to what truly matters in the face of the wild untamed and unknown. I love you exposure of colonialist imperialist and capitalist hubris and christian morality. I love you stank and stubborn bitches who absolutely refuse to fucking die against absolutely bleak and incomprehensible odds completely against the will of the horror they have witnessed at the hands of mortal men and at the hand of forces far beyond their mortal means to control. I love you. Never change gorgeous <3.

Talking a little bit about 'boycotting Eurovision' under Keep Reading, feel free to scroll down if is not what you want to see.
The most used argument on the matter of banning Israel from Eurovision is the fact that Russia got banned from Eurovision, which is the worst argument anyone could bring.
Kindly reminder that Russia didn't get banned because of the war with Ukraine. Russia got banned because many countries has threatened to withdraw from the competition. Sadly, that's a big difference.
Yes, the countries has threatened to withdraw because they support Ukraine and see Russia as the party in the wrong. That was their reason. EBU's reason for banning Russian was because those countries threatened to withdraw, not because the war was bad and Russia must be stopped.
This situation isn't the same. Why? Because many countries support Israel in their genocide. Because this time around Palestine is the party in the wrong. Because we're taught to believe that Israel isn't in the wrong here.**
Boycotting Eurovision won't work. There are people out there who don't know the truth and want to watch Eurovision. There are people out there who don't care and will watch Eurovision regardless of the situation. There are people out there who, despite having the facts, still don't see Israel as the bad guy in this situation and will watch Eurovision. Sadly, boycotting won't work unless everyone does it.
The only way Israel will get banned, in my opinion, is by going through the same thing as Russia. If other countries threatened to withdraw- and not any countries, but the ones investing the most in Eurovision, then yes. That will get Israel banned.
Otherwise? The only thing we do is hurt artists that don't deserve it. Artists who use Eurovision as a way to get more exposure and experience. Artists who deserve to be heard.
Don't vote for Israel's entry. Don't stream their song either. Heck, turn off the TV when is their turn to perform.
**This whole situation (the war, not Eurovision) isn't only black and white. Civilians die daily because of this, all of them from both sides. Innocent people who has no fault. Let's not forget that

honestly i think one of my favorite things about reading artemis fowl as an adult is that it has found family relationships that you can't categorize neatly into traditional familial roles.
like, yeah, there are varying degrees of it-- you can pretty straightforwardly say that root is a father figure to holly, and artemis and juliet have definite sibling vibes even if they're not quite aware of it and it's complicated by the fact that he's her boss.
and then there's butler and artemis and it's like. they're brothers, they're a father-son duo, butler is artemis' only friend for years. artemis in charge because butler works for him, butler's in charge because artemis is a child. it's butler's job to die for artemis. artemis would do anything to save butler's life. neither of them explicitly express affection except in the smallest of ways.
AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED on artemis and holly. there is no existing familial relationship, or combination of relationships that could even come close to encapsulating everything they mean to each other and everything their friendship encompasses and THAT'S the beauty of found family.
you can have relationships that shift and change over time and that resist neat categorization while still being able to clearly hold them up as important and meaningful and say "this person is family".

Some more random Endless Heirs Doodles. Been thinking about how Wish says in "Scour" that there might be adverse affects to them and Daniel sharing hearts if they were to have a fight or be separated by something, and... ideas have been perculating...
Nothing set yet but..yeah
And If I did do a sequal I'd definitely want to bring in Rose and Jed and especially my rewrite for Rose's daughter Ivy
(Who would definitely not be dating her cousin Daniel)
She'd grow up a happy normal "one of the gang" kids of the Endless Heirs, though she would have an interest in the magical side of their family, I kinda like the idea of her becoming an apprentice to Joanna Constantine, all enthusiastic to Joanna's grumpiness x)
And of course Eulalie would have to play a part, so here's a doodle of her as a young cambion with her parents
So yeah, still very earlier stages but definitely want to try and do a sequal sometime soon...
