The Brood

The new live action Lilo & Stitch now ends with Nani giving up custody of Lilo in order to go to college to pursue her “dream” of becoming a marine biologist. They even got rid of Ohana, the movie’s literal heart. The government separating an indigenous child from her only living relative is a horrific history and trauma yet all the magazines and reviews are trying to frame this new ending as a good thing because Nani still “visits often” as if it’s not a very brutal story that has separated people from their family, language, home and culture.

here are some things you can do despite the cancellation:

stream the show!!

request dbda s2 as a title on netflix here:

geeked week is running from september 16-19. if you have a twitter account (or if youre planning on making one) tweet @netflix during (and before, but esp during) the event with dbda chatter. be mindful if you're doing this, do not harrass anybody and don't create multiple accounts as they'll be flagged as bots. I'm not too sure about how much they check over here on tumblr, that's why I'm signalling out twitter.

there's currently an attempt to get #SaveDeadBoyDetectives trending on twt rn if you'd like to contribute. get the tag trending here too <3 (as of writing this #DeadBoyDetectives is already up and going on the bird app)

here's a petition you can sign

@kieren-fucking-walker is planning on organising a UK meetup. check out their interest post here

edit: request dbda s2 as a series on HBO max here

in terms of events that I'm aware of:

@palasakiweek and @deadboyween week(s) are still set to happen

@crystal-week and a @dbdazine have interest checks out rn!! check em out <3

edit: @dbdabang have an interest check out for a dbda big bang!!

and finally, create. edits, gifs, moodboards, art, fics, crafts, whatever you can think of. don't let this discourage you.

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

People talking about Aaron Bushnell's martyrdom as mental illness is receiving push back which Im relieved by but that narrative having any purchase does go to show what a spectre mental illness has become and how its used to thin out and disappear passion despair conviction refusal to compromise individuality + interiority. People refusing to engage w the true depths of humanity.

i had to say it

How you can help Palestine while being a minor/child

If you're someone who does not earn money or cannot donate because you're a child and you're under the care of a guardian but still want to help the suffering Palestinians this is a list that can help you

Educate yourself! I cannot stress how important this is. Stay up to date with the latest news and learn about the history of Palestine so you do not get confused by propaganda.

Boost posts about Palestine and spread awareness! Share posts about Palestine [make sure to fact check] and talk to your families and friends to do the same (it's understandable if you cannot talk about these things with your family and friends though). Follow Palestinian journalists and other people who are stuck in gaza. Boost their posts.

Do not engage with zionists! Troll bots are becoming more and more common and engaging with them will only benefit them. Ignore and move on. The world stands with Palestine and we do not need to prove that.

Save evidence! The governments WILL DENY the genocide they are committing and will try their best to remove evidence from all social media platforms. Save videos, articles, and pictures so that you have a strong evidence base to present when the time comes.

Show your solidarity! Put a watermelon in your bio, wear red green black and white colours, put a Palestinian flag on your schoolbag. Every little thing counts.

Boycott! Avoid McDonald's, Starbucks and other companies that support israel. Ask your parents to eat somewhere else if they suggest McDonald's, and ask your friends to choose a different cafe if they go to starbucks.

Email your representatives! Make some noise, demand a ceasefire

Do daily clicks! Any myth of this NOT going to Palestine has been debunked, and it doesn't take any time to simply click one button. It makes money through ad revenues

I will add links and update this list when I think of more. Add anything else you think should be included in the reblogs

im a meljayvik shipper that believes in melvik. "jayce has two hands" mel and vik also have two hands and they're all standing in a circle like this

You gotta choose your battles. When you can't win, do parkour!

I actually was gonna post it before adding some final details, look!

Glad I added those final lights and shadows!!!

SpeedPaint!

Did you see the video where Israeli soldiers dressed up like Muslim women and doctors and stormed the hospital in the West Bank and assassinated 3 young Palestinians?⁣

⁣

Did you see the bloody pillow with the bullet hole in it?⁣

⁣

THIS IS WHO THEY MURDERED IN THAT BED. A paralyzed CHILD named Bassel. ⁣

⁣

This video was taken just one day before Israel literally shot him in the face in his bed. ⁣

⁣

Just when you think they can’t get any lower, they do. I don’t care what lies they tell about this child, it is illegal EVERYWHERE to do what they did. ⁣

⁣

This kid had nothing to do with October 7th. And anything else he did, you simply aren’t allowed to go into a hospital and murder a paralyzed child. ⁣

⁣

It’s CRAZY that we even have to say this. ⁣

⁣

And the White House actually defended this today, but it was before this video was released. ⁣

Tumblr is doing some stupid AI shit so go to blog settings > Visibility > Prevent third-party sharing.
