As a German, do you feel like most of the public supports Palestine or Israel? Because from what I see many of the politicians support the Zionist cause so I wonder if the common people share the same sentiments

you're basically asking me which team i think the majority are rooting for but last time i checked this wasn't a sports match. i honestly wouldn't even know where to begin to explain my views on this war to you. however, in case it was a good faith question:

recent polls show that a majority of germans disapprove of the idf's course of action in light of the many civilian deaths. as a german, my impression is that the VAST majority of people are nothing short of horrified by the suffering of palestinians in gaza and only interested in a non-violent resolution that will bring lasting peace. same as the rest of the world. most germans either disapprove of or openly criticize ANY involvement in armed conflict (ukraine being a notable exception), and the vast majority of people (in fact, the majority of the entire world) condemn israeli settlement policy (that includes german politicians across the spectrum) – in fact, just a year ago, a few months before the attack on october 7, the foreign office warned the israeli government of an escalation of the conflict over new settlement laws for the west bank.

that being said, anything bds-adjacent, anything promoting isolation and escalation over dialogue and mutual understanding, any stance that implies or calls outright for the dissolution of the state of israel will be impossibly hard to sell, not just in germany but in the entire west (however you may define that term) and not only because of the historical ties between many israeli jews and the west, but because israel is too valuable an ally in the region. the relationship between israel and germany specifically is of course a very complex one, and it would be naive to assume that german foreign policy re: israel isn't colored by our shared history, but netanyahu's government has long passed the point of what most people here might defend as the limits of a justified reaction to october 7. they also know that hamas aren't resistance fighters. we're beginning to see that public support for israel's security is not unconditional, is my point. the polls i linked above show that the majority of people (87%) want to put more pressure on the israeli government to guarantee access to humanitarian aid for civilians in gaza, and this was in march

#anyway thank you for being civil #but im turning anon asks off now #this shit hasn't been pretty #one last thing: this anon didnt #but most of the others mentioned the eurovision boycott #so let me just say #if you think it's gonna make a meaningful difference #or if you feel like you cant enjoy it in good conscience #i respect your decision to boycott the event #you're welcome to unfollow me or block the tag:#eurovision #i always make sure to tag everything esc related (for the mental health of my american mutuals alone)#call me a starry-eyed idealist or whatever #but this contest started out as a peace project and to me it will always be one #i look at it as keeping one channel of communication open #yes its cheesy and im probably being naive #but these are singers who won some cringe ass competition and now get to celebrate the european spirit for a week #in the end we all want the same thing #thatse it.#ask #anon #actually pinning this for the next show tonight

Hello Internet Stranger looking up G Gundam on Tumblr dot com!

This is an idea for a fic set in an Alternate Universe involving Queer Non-Canon Relationships between the characters of the series.

If you are not looking for this content please scroll on.

If you ARE looking for this content - and you're ok with reading my and other's Headcanons for this Alternate Universe I've haphazardly spun up -

Then go ahead and feel free to:

Check The Tags Of This Post For The Pairings

and click the Read More below!

--------------------------------------

Ended up outlining a completely different fic as a Segway for an explanation instead of making progress on the Royal Flush Haunted Honk AU's Clown Motel Fic like I wanted to but uh....

For y'all's review for the AU: A Prequel Outline - Divorce Saga Domon

--------------------------------------

Hey real quick - I'm thinking of maybe changing the timeline to 2 years post canon as opposed to 3 years and change post canon.

The reason being: I had a thought that this scene could either be part if the fic or if it's getting to big then it could be a stand alone tie-in prequel fic as part of this AU but - like

Immediately Post Divorce Domon Needs Space and runs off. As one does. And he runs to Earth because he just wants to Get Lost for a while.

He has Argo smuggle him out to avoid detection.

Argo has Andrew help stow Domon in a storage hanger of a Neo Canadian supply ship that's returning to the US - they have trade often enough and share agricultural resources - which leads to Domon ending up in New York when he hits Earthside pavement.

He's privately worked on his English the last couple of months and after being dropped in New York with a different hairstyle, outfit, and accent he's unrecognizable.

He considers making his way west to get some solitude in the wilderness, but something about that initial plan feels off now that he's on the ground.

Chibodee is also Earthside for a special series of prize fights aimed at raising charitable appeal for the US in the eyes of Neo Americans.

Domon decides to hit up Chibodee for a fight on a day between matches hoping it'll clear his head and give him the clarity to decide on a course of action. What ends up happening is an unexpected heart to heart via blows and a breakdown.

Domon is happy for Rain and Kyoji, and he knows it's not true; but he feels like he lost a piece of himself when his relationship with Rain fell apart.

Domon's instinct is to run after that but Chibodee knows this city and Domon doesn't hide out for long before Chibodee drags him back to his place to stay and just "Chill out and breathe. You don't have to be anyone but yourself here. You can take as long as you need to find out what everything changing means for you." Friends and teammates stick together.

So Domon spends a few weeks with Chibodee sparring and hanging out in New York. Chibodee does a frankly awesome job at containing his feelings because he's focusing on Domons feelings and being a good friend first and foremost. Whatever he's feeling can wait until after Domon is done going though it.

There's a bit of a twinge in Domon's heart as he leaves that he can't really place.

After he returns to Neo Japan and gets settled back into life with his family, The Dreams start.

They're mainly set in New York. Small things first like noticing Chibodee's smile and his eyes. Then sparring sessions that begin to turn lurid.

He thought these kinds of dreams would stop after he was married.... he doesn't know what to do about this.

I just figure it gives more clarity and sense of time for the journey from Comphet Marriage Dissolution to Feelings to Confession. Idk.

But I got stuck on a bit and then had this thought and needed to get it down before I lost it and it was so long it made sense to make it its own post as opposed to several replies.

The Maize and Clown Motel will probably still be 3 years and change post canon for clarification.

#Domon Kasshu/Chibodee Crocket #Royal Flush #Chibodee Crocket/Domon Kasshu #Royal Flush Haunted Honk AU #mobile fighter g gundam #I imagine he hasn't had time for a Big Gay Crisis yet but the time is absolutely now #Kyoji absolutely helps him through this crisis because he had a normal environment and university to figure his own shit out.#Kyoji has to figure out WHY Domon is imploding and explosive and avoiding everyone a second time though.#This doesn't seem related to the Divorce but it doesn't seem immediately obvious either. 🤔#Cue Schwarz FINALLY getting a fucking break and immediately coming to stay with Rain and Kyoji at their place.#Domon was aware that they had been living together in Neo Japan briefly before Schwarz was called back to Neo Germany for questioning #Once his rank was stripped of him he was back with Kyoji for a short period before the Divorce as part of Kyoji and Dr. Kasshu's study of #DG Cells. Once they had a breakthrough - Schwarz was sent abroad with a small military group and Doctors Without Borders group to assist #With immediate infection cases on behalf of Neo Japan as part of reparations. So Domon hadn't seen him in quite some time.#Domon certainly wasn't expecting to see him in the garden when he rounded the corner of the Mikamura residence #Leaned over Kyoji who appears to have been working outside on his laptop. Fingers intertwined a hand on Kyojis jaw and locked in a kiss.#Which ends pretty much instantly as they sense Domon and break apart. It occurs to Kyoji and Schwarz that Kyoji never #Got the chance to actually tell Domon much about himself and the man he'd grown into while Domon was training in Hong Kong with Master Asia #This might be a pretty significant shock to him.#I can't decide between Domon running from his Gay Revelation or IMMEDIATELY Losing His Shit at the thought of Rain's SECOND marriage ending #And knowing for sure now the reason why his and Rain's marriage didn't work out. He really does prefer men.#Bu HOW DARE Kyoji do this to her!!! She's been through enough!!!! This will HURT her SO BADLY!!! (Projection of guiiillllttt)#Back to square 1 fir a moment like damn #And once he starts fighting Kyoji about it (Thank God the ressurection gave them the option to make Kyojis new build similar to Schwarz's)#It comes out that Rain cant go through this AGAIN and he won't let him do this to her! Her honor means something to Domon #And it should mean something to Kyoji too as HER HUSBAND #Kyoji and Schwarz catch on the Again bit and Kyoji makes it clear that Rain has known about his situation with Schwarz since they returned #That they're quite literally inseparable and that Rain married him knowing this. She's fully aware and an active participant.#Domon takes a leg sweep and doesn't quite make his recovery as Schwarz steps in #Pinning his arms and one leg in place so he can't run from Kyojis question. Kyoji grabs Domon's hair to turn his head and asks

Me: oh no, my stomach has been acting up a lot for 2 weeks already, and I have a trip to England in a few days... Google: You can't use Imodium for more than 48h!!! Me: Ah, shit. A literal shit! Me: Doctor, please, is there any medication for IBS? Doctor: No, unfortunately. Imodium typically helps. Me: I've been using it and it does help. How long can I use it in one go? Doctor: Up to 3 weeks. Here's a prescription for you. Just take less when your symptoms start to subside. Me: Oh heaven's bless QuQ

#if you don't know how it is to live with a stomach #which will shit out everything you put inside when the flaring happens #when eating ANYTHING is like playing Russian roulette with diarrhea #where you NEED TO go to a toilet in THAT INSTANT and not 5 minutes later #be SUPER HAPPY #this is a genetic family curse from both parents' side #this is what happens when your families live in the same fucking 200km area for at least 650 years #breeding with one another #I've been really stressed out lately with everything #with finances and the job #the company I work in has gone to bankruptcy and I'm pretty much waiting for them to kick me out #Patreon income has dried to 1/3 since I stopped drawing FUZZY #PMS isn't helping this at all #the IUD has been a blessing but it hasn't taken all of PMS away #which it apparently even doesn't do #tmi #niu's life #i need the new job #something where I can operate despite by diseases

#GRAAAAAHHHHJ #im actually really REALLY upset about how amazing every single project alain takes up ends up being fucking amazing #my initial infatuation with him was never justified because he isn't JUST a pretty face #he knows what he's fucking doing!!!!! and he's talented as shit on top of it!!!!!!!!#like none of his stuff ive seen so far have been generic or bad or boring #this one was straight up experimental!!!!!!! and it wasn't even amazingly popular or anything in its time #like sure he's a fucking european cinema star in a very revolutionary time for european film #ofc he's bound to take up something experimental eventually #but when i say that EVERYTHING he's been in hasn't been a caricature of a single project im being so for real #im upset. im elated. im.#side note but i can tell he takes direction really well lol

surprise panic attack???

#that hasn't happened in at least like five years #idly realized i'm double booked for pretty much my entire weekend #and i didn't get done half the shit i was supposed to get done today #and i'm having surgery on monday (which i'm thrilled about) but everything MUST be done before then T.T #had the passing thought that i forgot to warn my partner about a last minute schedule change with work for the weekend #and i think i just bunny trailed a lightning round of thinking about e v e r y t h i n g that needs to get done and i got super overwhelmed #hence panic attack #been so long i forgot what it feels like and it took me a heck of a while to realize what was happening #think im going to end up calling out of all but my two pre-req tests i'm running this weekend #they're only an hour each #uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh time is passing too slow (i want it to be surgery day T.T) and too fast (there's too much to do between then and now)

did i mean to take a break from tumblr for this long? nope. am i "back"? we'll find out together

#my nan died and i've been feeling pretty shit about it and all the other family crap that my brain won't let me forget #my health has also been pretty shocking recently but that's to be expected I guess at this point #especially when dealing with stress and grief (chronic illnesses love to play up when you don't want them to)#i'm not gonna go on about every single grievance i've experienced as of late bc this is not the place for that #and bc it hasn't all been doom and gloom. but... it's been more gloom than i would like #but!! happier news: i'm dog sitting the sweetest chihuahua ever and he's a real treasure #chatty lamps #tmi tag #i missed this place #i haven't made a single edit. vid. and have only written one sentence in like... months. it's been A Time

Shamed in the voice chat for talking about Justice's phallus on tumblr dot com but that just encouraged me to talk about it more

I want to know why Daisuke designed her with one so bad like there could be literally any reason and since GG's got these underlying themes of gender that just adds to it haha Is it a metaphor?? A counter-balance like some people say it's supposed to be??? Did Daisuke just want to be on the bleeding edge of video games that have be-phallused women???? All of the above??????????

I need to dig up the old Daisuke interviews some time and maybe translate them. One of them might include something about how he designed the original cast, at the least...

#textpost #Some of the old art books have interviews in them that I don't think anyone's fully translated #There's 50 questions in the back of the Overture book that've been done #But there's another interview in the GGX 2000-2004 book that hasn't because the only scans of it online are shit #Pretty sure there's another one that does too #A few of the Encyclopedia guides do. One there's scans of does at least #Maybe once I start Lightning the Argent I'll dig these up as short side projects when I get sick of reading about Ky #I wanna be done with the Overture stories so bad. 3 left #Tomorrow if I finish coloring these two pieces and start my December sticker maybe I'll put together Ky's JP manuscript

The Ruined pizzaplex is steeped in death and disrepair, it’s almost to the point that when the others are finally Meteor-ed, they don’t even know if they’ll survive escaping the damn place. None of them know, it’s a death trap. I don’t even think some of them expected to live for long after they escaped

But then they do, and they’re in a completely unfamiliar world that’s saturated with life and it’s unlike anything they’ve ever been exposed to before. Fazent always carried that touch of death, yknow? They never knew any different.

But then they claw their way into the light and someone is wrapping a blanket around their shoulders and giving them a bottle of water and asking if they’re ok because they must’ve just been Changed, they look so disoriented, and they don’t know what to do.

But they have each other, they’re *alive* again. The scars will never go away, but they have each other, and they desperately hope that’s enough.

YOU COME INTO MY HOUSE-

Fsdfsdf nah though you're on the right lines with this... may I offer...

The Plex is dead. It's stagnant, forever unchanging and is left to rot like all the other bodies under the floorboards. Those that remain are rotting and hurt, discarded like broken and unwanted toys and abandoned in the ruins of what is the only world, the only home they've ever known.

... But it's not dead.

How can it be? They're still there. They're still alive.

And like a phoenix rising from the ashes, they'll realise that for themselves and start laying the kindle for their fire.
