[Start ID. A dark, warm-toned drawing of Tundra, a robot with bladed legs and mechanical hands both lightened by frost, and a face like that of a fencing mask. She wears a blue jacket with a fluffy white ruff and pockets on the shoulders and chest, a long green skirt with tassels and pale wavy lines at the border, and a brown belt with a pouch at the side. She's shown from the right, leaning back on a stack of pillows and a wooden wall as she looks out to the left, disregarding the open book in her hand, her legs bent in front of her. Under her is a yellow and red rug which pads gritty flooring, over her are series of low, round string lights, providing soft lighting in a room that's partially open to the night sky.]
it's a friend's birthday today yet again... in honor of the occasion here's a Tundra for @automatonknight :]

legitimately insane how to some people, "we should wipe out this ethnic group that we've violently constrained to a ghetto because they're just genetically more violent and dangerous" is a reasonable and justifiable statement but it's Nazi Rhetoric to say something like, "it's bad that Israeli civilians are being killed but acknowledging that as tragic includes acknowledging that the almost daily state-sanctioned murder of civilians by the Israeli government is also tragic and unacceptable"
btw guys speaking of Nazi shit - can we check in, alongside what's been done to Palestinians in the last 75 years, what's the Israeli government's take on the Azerbaijani government's newest round of ethnic cleansing of Armenians? oh are the Israeli government's actions maybe not determined by Jewish identity, but by a commitment to colonial supremacy which puts them on the same page as other violently genocidal states like Azerbaijan, the US, and the UK? god can you Even Imagine?
(framing speaking against Israeli war crimes as inherently antisemitic requires understanding the Israeli state as representing all Jewish people, when it doesn't even represent all Israelis.
framing Israeli war crimes as synonymous with Jewish identity is pretty fucked up if we're being honest. I don't think that controlling water and power and movement for a captive population and shooting children dead for throwing stones is an inherent value of Judaism, any more than I think the torture carried out at Guantanamo Bay is an inherent value of Christianity - in both cases they're atrocities carried out by a far right genocidal government using religious identity as a shield.
Calling statements like "Israel is committing genocide against the people it's displaced" inherently antisemitic is doing more to further the idea that all Jewish people are associated with Israel than saying "the Israeli government is doing war crimes," which is a statement of fact about a country that exists and does war crimes. Is criticism of Israel as a nation often used as cover for antisemitism? Absolutely. Does that mean the Israeli government isn't doing literal war crimes repeatedly, on record, while talking publicly about scrubbing an ethnic group off the map? Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh well in the last 48 hours they've definitely cut off water and power to almost 600,000 civilians and allegedly used white phosphorus against civilians so in an extremely factual and unambiguous way yeah man those are Literal War Crimes whoever does them.)

I always found it interesting in how afo went from being one of the most powerful and influential people in japan.....
to only being a mere rumor that people hear on the internet and in passing
and like we know why this happened, all might went and brought afo's empire to its knees upon his return to japan.
it's just fascinating to think about as all might was the first real threat afo had ever faced in his entire villain career. he not only destroyed almost everything he worked to build, but also nearly took his own life and forced him to stay in hiding just to survive. he went from being the most feared villain who was at the top to being reduced to staying in the shadows with people not even being sure he was real in the first place. the fact that all might did all this using his brothers quirk just adds more salt to the wound and serves to further humiliate him. never underestimate how great of a hero all might was back in his prime. makes me sad we'll never get to see more of all might and afo's past struggles with each other because it's so interesting to think about everything that went down then.

When I started listening to Vol 2 of the Buddy Daddies Drama CD while reading along to the translation (Thank you @marcarella-pizza !!!), I thought I was going to get something really fitting for a (mostly) wholesome show about two guys raising a kid together...
I DID NOT EXPECT TALK OF DOMS AND SUBS AND KINKS AND BABYPLAY WHAT???
I’m--- ???

Do you think that the whole Sunfire arc is extremely unnecessary? A lot of people including myself believe this arc diverts attention away from the main arc
Hobbit critics when Thranduil captures the dwarves and generally acts as a snare, slowing their progress toward their stated goal and the resolution of final plot: why did they even come here, this guy's an ass and he serves no narrative purpose except to get in the way
Me, knowing Thrandul Oropherion's full character arc leads him to participate in the War of the Ring and help save Middle-earth as a direct result of his character growth in the Hobbit:
