More of Dís and her family. my favorite girl ❤️

The problem is that America has beaten down its people for decades and gotten them weak and desperate and now promises a way out, a way to transcend and rise above, through selling out their fellow man. They encourage contempt and hatred as one way ticket to not being included with the masses being death marched to poverty or imprisonment or whatever other bitter end surely awaits the people they’re told are beneath them. An embarrassingly large chunk of white men are just straight up nazis these days as a way to dissociate from the rest of the carnage around them, even if they’re broke and uneducated and from an impoverished background themselves. They’ll vote for and align themselves with anything for a taste of power and control that makes them feel a little less helpless. The same goes for minorities. They’ll punch down if they think it’ll get them somewhere, even if in reality they’re punching sideways. I don’t know what else to say, really. Everybody is so incredibly hateful. We are a loveless, disrespectful nation. We are so spread thin by our government that we would sell each other out in a heartbeat for an ounce of relief. This is what we’ve come to.

It’s not even about Trump at this point. He’s gonna get in office and do whatever he does and it’s gonna be a mess but whatever. This is indicative of deeper problem. This is just the ugly consequence of the already present reality in this country that we all just despise each other. There is no solidarity and there is no love. Trump being in office or not doesn’t change the fact that America is a breeding ground for violent hatred. Trump has given people a shining example of how to give in to the worst parts of your human nature and make it the problem of everyone around them. I don’t even know what we’re supposed to do about that. I don’t know if that’s something we can come back from. And if anything COULD be done about it, Trump certainly wouldn’t do it. Honestly, Kamala probably wouldn’t have either. We are so deeply fucked.

However, I must say, if you voted for Trump, I hope that peace never finds you. Instead, I hope clarity strikes you someday like a clap of lightning and you have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge and guilt of what you’ve done and who you are as a person.

Love yall. Shit is so bleak but the world keeps spinning until it doesn’t, I guess. We can’t count on the government for literally even a shred of progress or hope so just keep up the good fight in your own personal lives. That’s literally the only thing to be done at this point. Stay safe out there. Maybe buy a gun.

FUCK PEOPLE WHO VOTED TRUMP. I hate you with all my heart and I hope you burn in hell.

but most importantly, FUCK PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T VOTE KAMALA HARRIS.

You thought you fucking did something by not voting, well guess what, this is partially your fault. You allowed this to happen. By not voting for Trump’s opponent, you let him win. I hope you’re fucking happy with yourself. Good fucking job.

Now everyone will suffer the consequences of your actions. Not only you americans, but people outside of the US as well.

You thought you stopped a genocide supporter, but you allowed another one, who by the way is much much worse, to come into power (AGAIN). You keep talking about how the system needs to be changed or whatever, and you joke about overthrowing the government, and that votes change nothing. Yet you don’t do anything. You want a revolution? Then fucking start one. Come on, change the system. Overthrow the government, go ahead. “Both candidates are evil and I don’t want either to be president!” THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Oh, you don’t actually want to do that? It sounds scary and impossible to achieve? Then you better at least fucking vote next time. Make a difference.

You achieved nothing, and only made things worse.

Rest in Peace, Rachael Lillis

This weekend, Utena's English voice actress Rachael Lillis died after a battle with breast cancer. She was 46. Many of us contributed to her medical care fund, but cancer doesn't answer to that. A sobering reality for us older Utena fans especially is that now, both the Japanese and English actresses that performed this character have died. And from cancer--Tomoko Kawakami died at 41 from ovarian cancer. Fuck cancer.

But for now, a few interviews I found that relate to Utena:

Rachael Lillis interviewed by Molly Patterson in 1998

IRC chat with Rachael Lillis for anime.scifi.com in 2000

Rachael Lillis interviewed by Pokémon World

And finally, Rachael Lillis in Animerica in 1998

Thank you Rachael.

For most people, Rachel Lillis was Misty and Jessie from Pokemon. For me? There's only one role I remember her for.

I heard she thought she was miscast as Utena. If that's true, I disagree. Utena is someone who was trying to a prince, but it was as much a role she was playing as Anthy was acting as a princess. Lillis brought out Utena's vulnerability extremely well. I will miss her.

i think Bofur can play multiple instruments

in the book he plays clarinet and in the movie he plays flute, I like to think he can also play violin (he can also sing obvi)

tough guy，huh？

Finally revealing my artwork for the second year of @thorinsspringforge!

A very special thank you to @xenomorphic-warrior, who partnered with me for this year, who wrote a melancholic and touching fanfic about Thorin, who wakes up as a ghost in Erebor after his death, watching as his loved ones live on without him. A presence follows him, however, and he learns he isn't the only apparition who haunts the halls of the Lonely Mountain...

Please check out the fanfic, which I have linked above! <3 And please check out the other contributions as well :)
