Lowkey wanna see that now 🙃
Back in April 2023 @mousegirltrapped made this sketch for our Naruto/ATLA AU. She never did anything with it, so recently I asked her to color it. I rarely render stuff, so this was a fun exercise for sure :) Mouse needs you to know she's not super proud of this and that she would do a lot of things differently now. I had to beg her to allow me to post it.
About the AU: it's a blend of the two universes and we put the founders to be slightly older than the cast of ATLA: they are around 18-22 when the war ends. They are all benders of course!
Wait. So. I'm a history student, and right now, we're in modern history and talking about Christopher Columbus. Who wanted to go to India, by boat. How did he want to do that ?
Right. Travel around the Earth. Because Earth is round. And they knew that at the end of the XVth century.
Now. Explain to me, how the hell do people think the Earth is FLAT ??????
Like, If you believe that, I'm sorry dude, but you're dumber than an XVth century man (yes, many of them knew. I don't actually believe people thought the Earth was flat at that time. How did we end up thinking that again ? Like we knew it was round during Antiquity, through middle age -yeah, they didn't believe in heliocentrism, but the Earth was not flat- and now what ? I don't understand.)
The Order : Let's Talk about it !
Oh dear.... Let just say, this movie wasn't fun. But I like it anyway !
Ok, first : how and why did I watch it ? Saw the trailer a lot while watching Invincible on Prime (yeah yeah, I know, Amazon sucks, but I love watching movies and series, and my usual streaming is down soooo)
Now, let's get deeper. The movie is really, really great (I mean, with a main actor like Jude Law, it has promises). It talks about Nazis in the US in the 80s. DUDE HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING ???
Ok I'm not gonna spoil, but the first time we saw a swastika (had to go and see how it was written), it made me so uncomfortable. Like, really. The movie is from 2024, so before everything that happened early 2025, but. Spot on. Truely.
Scenario wise, really nice (i mean, it is based on real life events, soooooo), the acting is real good (Jude Law, again, but everyone else ! Dude the acting was so good !). The emotions are there when you need them. God I don't even have the words !
But to be honnest, it is a pretty heavy movie, so, maybe don't watch it before bed like the idiot I am...
Yeaaaah.....
The worst story about that : I live in a country where it doesn't usually happen, so that's even worse. I brought ticket to go see Deadpool and wolverine with a (now ex) friend. They were on their phone so much. Like, I bought the tickets, but I didn't force them to go, I asked them several times if they wanted to go see the movie. The LEAST they could do was to NOT be on their phone. What's even worse with that is I have ADHD.... Like, strongly, and ok, when I'm watching a movie at home, I'm always on my phone, but not in the freaking movie theater? Like? It's dark for a reason? What's the reasoning? 'oh yeah I'm probably autistic so I need my phone on all the time' ? Seriously....
ppl are rlly trying to defend being on your phone during a movie in the theater what is going on
Mercury stained my soul the way only my bones can know...
Or my skin
(this was just after the tattoo was done in October... It's still gorgeous)
And I have another one of Mercury Act I album picture, but it's hard to take it behind my arm 😅
I will keep putting this
The blanket is goin well (this is the half) and yes... I don't have enough pink, so I had to change and it's now darker.
Anyway, made the last what? 5 rows watching some old youtube series, that, if you speak french I recommend: j'ai jamais su dire non and the two sequels 👍🏼
I started a cat blanket yesterday.... Already done 15 rows .... The hyperfocus is strong within me....
Just don't look at the back for the moment 😅
I am terrified tonight.
Tonight, March 5th, my president talk to France. God, I am terrified.
What is going on in the world ? Between Russia, the US and now Europe ? Fuck, I am european. It terrifies me. He's talking about creating a european army, to 'defend'. But fucking hell ! you can just see he wants to go to war, so he can stay president longer !
I'm going to put what he said -cause I found it-, and put the translation for the non-french speakers : "C’est notre sécurité qui est menacée. Si un pays peut envahir un autre en Europe, c’est la paix qui est menacée" -It is our security that is threatened. If one country can invade another in Europe, peace is threatened- Yay, national security, how nice ! You're going to cost us. Even if he says that it wont, it will.
"La menace russe est là, et touche les pays d’Europe. La Russie a fait du conflit ukrainien un conflit mondial" -The Russian threat is there, and affects the countries of Europe. Russia has made the Ukrainian conflict a global conflict- New world war ? Welp, I'm studying history. Never really intended to live what I'm studying...
"Qui peut croire que la Russie d’aujourd’hui s’arrêtera à l’Ukraine ?" -Who can believe that today's Russia will stop at Ukraine?- They won't. Unfortunately, in my opinion, unless Putin dies -and even then, nothing is sure-, they will continue. They will be world war soon.
"Nous restons attachés à l'Otan, et à notre partenariat avec les États-Unis. Mais l'avenir de l'Europe n'a pas à être tranché à Washington et à Moscou." -We remain committed to NATO, and to our partnership with the United States. But the future of Europe does not have to be decided in Washington and Moscow.- This is probably the thing I agree the most : peace shall not be made outside Europe. It is not a matter from the US to decide who's right and who's wrong. It is not to the US to decide who wins or not. But, arms race is not the answer either. Unfortunately, it seems we do no longer have a choice.
And you know what's even more terrifying ? My brother. He listen, arrived arround half the speech, and then tried to tell us that it was not so bad. That the world wasn't changing a super speed. That, no, our president wasn't trying, in subtext, to invite more people to join the army. He does not believe war can start that fast -we told him he could'nt wait 'till he finished his masters degree at the speed the world is moving, he doesn't want to believe us.
I am shaking, 45 minutes after the speech begun. I am terrified. I feel like I'm going to throw up. I am simply terrified. I would love this text to be one of my dystopian creation. Unfortunately, it is the world today. And fuck, I don't want to be in that world.
So.... We have a lot of wind. I am currently in class and we're looking at pictures on the projector... THE WIND IS MAKING THE WALL VIBRATE AND WE CAN SEE IT WITH THE PROJECTOR !
this is fine. This is totally fine. The sound isn't terrifying at all.
Don't worry, I’ll always be with you
For those not tapped into Australian politics, King Charles is in Australia to conduct his "historic first tour to the commonwealth realm" i.e visting countries that King Charles is supposedly a monarch to.
Indigenous senator Lidia Thorpe had requested an audience with King Charles for weeks prior to this visit, she wrote countless letters to speak to him. Unlike other commonwealth nations and other former Brisitish colonies, a treaty with Indigenous peoples in Australia was never formed. Their land was never ceded to the British Crown. After being denied and ignored, Lidia Thorpe, draped in a traditional possum skin cloak, stormed in the Great Hall during the reception for Charles at Parliament House in the capital shout the following:
I literally can't even look at these photos without getting goosebumps.
So... Yesterday my university -in France- was blocked by other people :
It's says : fuck Elon Musk (on the bench : death to Trump)
No need to translate that : we know it even here
Do a Luigi please
That's a french politique, and it's says fuck him
Once again : no need to translate
I'm gonna need to reblog it to add more, 'cause there's so much.
And I don't usually post this kind of things here but.... I went past that wall, went into the next building, and knew I had to go back. I find it really powerful. One of my friends said it was dirty and not well done. I don't agree.
