Palestinians with bsky accounts that get systemically deleted post about it on twt, where the site literally tells you whether or not theyre using vpns and where their actual locations are. They are all in Palestine. Crazy to think the Hitler particle site treats Palestinians better

glad to see folks in bagginshield fandom who also like the same stuff with me e.g. danmei and some of the genshin ships i used to ship

it's just having wildly different takes from the rest of the people there so i'm just here curating my experience in it

it's so hard being in bagginshield fandom when most people like them in adjacent to johnlock or gentlebeard and those are not the queer media i care about lol

on god there are ao3 writers who could write the ending of the hobbit better than jrr tolkien himself

read a fic from this author again and it was soooo goood

bonus if he has green eyes!!!

a sleeping figure with enamel prosthetics. he is surrounded by floral motifs that mimic cloisonné

The Dancer and the Cloisonné Dream

Melkor from the silmarillion. A man with a clawed face and green eyes staring down. He holds a greatsword.

Melkor

too sleepy to articulate why i'm so pissed off but just know it's about some tolkien fan

lol i'm so pissed off

Our search function isn't so fantastic that you can narrow to translated Palestinian fiction (unfortunately, our fault in not categorizing properly) but you can just search "Palestinian" & find plenty of wonderful literary things: arablit.org?s=Palestinian

He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

image text: The Turks bear well fatigue and a hard life: they are not incommoded, as I have witnessed, during the whole journey, by sleeping on the ground like animals. They are of a gay, cheerful humour, and willingly sing songs of the heroic deeds of their ancestors. Any one, therefore, who wishes to live with them must not be grave or melancholy, but always have a smiling countenance. They are also men of probity, and charitable toward éach other. I have often observed, that should a poor person pass by when they are eating, they would invite him to partake of their meal, which is a thing we never do.

you people would not guess what this is about

love thinking about bilbo's there and back again story in the red book of west march as a manifestation of the pain and yearning that's too big for his small body. it utterly destroys me, i like it

will hide out in here for awhile

Much of Orientalism is just, that empire is shaped by what it is not; like the negatives of a film, empire is informed by who is under its subjugation- that who the oppressed are- when robbed of agency, can also be arbitrary

the hobbit is a gay love story from his perspective

he's gay!! he's Gay!!! don't let tumblr walmart bagginshield dynamics or m*rt*n freem*n's face fool you that he's anything but Gay

not some people hc-ing bilbo as bisexual. we're losing the ancient text

No need to imagine. The country incarcerates children as young as 9 years old daily in youth prisons and jails. Those children are routinely sexually and physically assaulted and also emotionally tortured. They are fed terrible food and given barely any education. This country has done this for yrs.

I see so much onus put on the people of the global south, that we must reconcile with orientalists and imperialists, that the norm is that we must be coerced into peace on the terms of the oppressor, be cowed, be limp, be stupid

the dispossessed has continued to amaze me even after a year

You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.
