Sanrio is making a fantasy game (yes, it's real) with their mascots as anime boy knights, and I want this to be the plot so badly.
im going to assist in the honeyworks kidnapping attempts that blake is using me as a proxy for by introducing all of my beloved mutuals to my favorite idol unit (or apparently a "dance-vocal unit" but come on . they're idols) full throttle4!!!
the group consists of five members - yui and rio (the vocalists), dai and megu (the dancers), and iv (the producer/manager/composer) !!
you may be asking "hang on now If their name is Full Throttle4 then why are there five of them???" and thats a great question!
official merch suggests its because its actually a reference to iv, as his name is also the roman numeral for '4' ! ^_^ (fun fact: these guys REALLY love their manager!!)
their music bangs and everyone in ft4 has a character song relating to them and their backstories, but they can get pretty heavy, so please don't feel urged to watch them if you feel like they'll trigger you OTL also no eng subs . sorry !!
you can watch them in any order you want, the only thing i recommend is that you listen to the character songs first and leave welcome sicks for last! (also worth noting that yui and rio's seiyuus sing all of these songs since they're the vocalists, but they let dai and megu sing in welcome sicks and its Great)
GOOD BYE (YUI)
TW: death of a family member (specifically a grandparent)
2. TO FAMILY (RIO)
TW: death of a family member (specifically a brother), suicide
3. FAKE STAR (DAI)
TW: explicit child abuse
4. Dear LAYLA (MEGU)
TW: animal death (not onscreen)
5. LOVE ANTHEM (IV)
TW: hospitalization/chronic illness
6. WELCOME SICKS (ALL)
TW: there's blood at the very end but it's a pretty fun mv overall ^_^
if you want to learn more about ft4 after that, please consider reading some of their event stories from the hanipre app! deus-ex-mona does a great job translating them, my personal favorite is make a holiday which is all about ft4 doing their best to give their hardworking manager a break!
(stares at 'breaktime from the hardworking you' on sekai, 'make a holiday' on hanipre, and all of my various hcs about characters helping each other relax... do you guys think i have a type?)
anyway my work here is done!! if you ever want to talk about ft4 i will always be here like the polyamorous demon i am ^_^
A small comic about Palestine I created to appeal to more passive family and friends
Anyways if you have the money I urge you to donate to Ibraheem Hadi, a Palestinian who contacted me and whom I promised to highlight in relation to this comic:
Otherwise there is always a need for eSims to keep Gazans connected
milgramblr is this anything
A piece about survivors guilt.
This comic isn't perfect. I started it back in October 2023, and every time I picked up my pen, I wept.
I bring this to you today, on 9/11, in hopes that you reflect on this day a little differently than how most Americans would. Let it move you to continue to boycott, protest and challenge your family, friends and colleagues. You have a bigger impact than you would believe.
Thank you for reading this with an open heart.
From the river to the sea...
I'd like to bring to attention the fact that the figures depicted above are a gross undercount of the actual number of deaths. I scoured the internet high and low to source my findings and not a single one could break down the devastation that befell an individual ethnicity. Instead, they lumped a bunch of ethnicities together, provided a general timeline, and called it a day, reinforcing the sheer scale of dehumanization propagated in the west. The only consistency between all the articles I looked up was the 4.5 to 4.7 million figure I've included above, and even then, they were all published by western media news outlets... the very same that have been so unreliable and complicit in the genocide of Palestinians today. So I have to take everything they say with a grain of salt.
We are not just numbers.
All of us have ambitions and desires and lives worth living.
With that said, this is your friendly reminder to:
Donate an e-sim
Donate to PCRF to provide Palestinian children aid
Donate to Pious Projects to provide woman with feminine hygiene kits
Donate to CareForGaza to provide food to displaced families in Gaza either through their Gofundme or their paypal
Donate to any of the vetted gofundme campaigns on GazaFunds to help Palestinians trying to flee Gaza.
And if you or someone you know sees or experiences a hate crime and can afford it, SUE. This is a more effective use of your money than most realise. The reason zionists act with impunity is because of the normalization of white supremacy and oppression of ethnic minorities. Challenging that in any capacity tells them that there are consequences to their actions and makes them think twice before engaging in hate crimes and helps raise all of us up against the systems currently in place that let them get away with it.
If you can't donate or spend any money, you can:
Do your daily clicks.
Boycott targeted companies on the BDS list (if you're like me and you don't want a single dollar to go towards anything supporting Israel right now, you can use Bdnaash to double check what products are okay to buy, but the BDS list is sufficient as it is a strategic attack and proven very effective thus far)
Flood your representatives emails and voicemails with how you won't be voting for them unless their politics align with an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
Attend a protest, be LOUD.
Challenge your circle of friends, family and colleagues with conversations about Palestine. (THIS IS THE MOST UNDERRATED AND MOST EFFECTIVE THING YOU CAN DO)
and if you're really up to, be disruptive in any capacity that you can think of towards major corporations benefiting from this onslaught. (i.e. halting military manufacturers from production + shipments, sticking boycott stickers on products at your market etc)
And finally, if your country wasn't mentioned in the above excerpt, it was no deliberate omission on my part and I encourage you to come forward and tell your story about the suffering of your people so that this may be a learning opportunity for everyone.
You are seen.
You are not alone.
Thank you again if you've read this far.
