AFTER TWO AND A HALF YEARS- I UPDATED IT AGAIN.

More WOY doodles. 

If you want to know where I am.

I’ll be in twitter. >> @ UIqpP92 

So I’ve seen some posts going around saying things like “boycotting doesn’t work, don’t bother boycotting Eurovision because they’ve already been paid. The only thing you can do to help is donate to organisations.” People are only saying this to absolve themselves of guilt. Don’t let them make you think that boycotting doesn’t work. It does.

Boycotting means that Eurovision will have a much harder time finding advertisements who want to partner with them, which means less funding overall. Boycotting means that they receive less money from televoting, ticket sales and merchandise. Boycotting means that their view count drops significantly and puts pressure on them to change their current practices. Boycotting means you won’t let Eurovision distract you while bombs are falling on Palestine. And most importantly: boycotting means sending a clear message that you will not stand for their support of Israel.

Eurovision is not staying apolitical. They have taken a political stance by letting Israel compete, just like they took a political stance when they banned Russia from competing. They are perfectly capable of banning countries for committing war crimes, so allowing Israel to compete shows that they are accepting and excusing Israel’s genocide. They are also sponsored by an Israeli company (MoroccanOil) so if you’re wondering how Eurovision could POSSIBLY side with Israel, there’s your answer: money.

Don’t give them any of yours. Don’t give them your viewership. Boycotting works, and if you’re feeling guilty for watching Eurovision, good. Feel bad. People are being killed, tortured, families torn apart and houses being bombed as we speak, so forgive me if I’m not sympathetic over you not being able to watch your fucking song contest. Not everything is about you. You’re going to have to feel uncomfortable sometimes when there’s a fucking genocide going on.

Lastly, not everyone is able to donate. Boycotting is a great way of helping if you’re not able to help financially. The Palestinian BDS National Committee and pro-Palestine organisations are encouraging people to boycott Eurovision, so even Palestinians themselves and Palestinian organisations are telling you that boycotting will help.

Eurovision is not worth it. You can find something else to do. Stream Hind’s Hall by Macklemore since all proceeds go to UNRWA. You can also help for free by starting your daily clicks on Arab.org.

And if you are able to donate, then great! Do that too:

And dear god, if you’re really not able to go without Eurovision then find a fucking way to pirate it. I am also begging people not to hate-watch Israeli’s entry because all that does is stop the boycott and make the viewerships spike again. The best thing you can do is fucking ignore them.

according to yousef (@/ph_youseeff on instagram) there are about 60K patients with chronic diseases in gaza who have not received treatment for more than 100 days. yousef himself is a cancer patient who had started treatment a month before the genocide started. his recovery chances was estimated at 95%. now he says he’s not sure if he’ll even survive let alone think about his recovery chances.

imagine that… but with 60K people. all suffering from chronic illnesses and unable to get treatment due to the constant bombardments and artillery shootings, the blocking of aid from entering the gaza strip, and the defunding of organisations that provide aid and support to civilians in gaza.

i cannot stress enough how important it is to speak up.

Israeli soldiers are conducting a series of invasive operations across the West Bank, abducting numerous Palestinians, killing and injuring civillians, and engaging in destructive raids on homes and Palestinian property.

This is what happened today (April 18) in the West Bank:

At dawn - Israeli soldiers launched a widespread operation in various parts of the occupied West Bank, breaking into homes, damaging Palestinian properties, and detaining at least 26 Palestinians, including two young women.

At day - The aggression continued as soldiers proceeded to assault Adli Rayyes and his son, Hashem, resulting in various injuries to both of them. Palestinian medics had to transport them to Jericho governmental hospital for treatment.

Afternoon - The Israeli Occupation Forces moved to the central West Bank where they entered the town Deir Ballout (west of Salfit city). There, they confiscated a telecommunications car that was being used for repair and maintenance work.

Evening - Dozens of Israeli soldiers invaded the Ein Al-Sultan refugee camp (north of Jericho). They stormed and ransacked homes within the camp and abducted a young man named Nayef Abu Dahouk, taking him to an unknown destination. At the same time an Israeli military jeep rammed into a young Palestinian woman in Jenin (northern West Bank). She was taken to the Jenin governmental hospital, and is currently suffering from fractures and severe bruising.

The Palestinian Detainees Committee reports that over 40 Palestinians were abducted by Israeli soldiers TODAY alone, from various parts of the West Bank, with a concentration of these abductions occurring in Nablus, followed by operations in Ramallah, Bethlehem, Jericho, Hebron, and Jerusalem.

Two homes belonging to Mohammad and Ahmad Zeidat, who have been kidnapped since January, in the town Bani Naim (near Hebron) were also demolished.

Over 8,310 Palestinians have been abducted by the Israeli Occupation Forces since October 7, 2023.

Wander Over Yonder: Trending 27th (May 2020)

If you could have any one character from outside WOY appear in a single episode, which would it be? / Which cartoon would you see Wander make a cameo in? 

Original post (with two cents from me)

Trending 27th (June 2020)

My #savewoy masterpost

_______________________________________________________ 

This is a tough question because there are a lot of great potential crossover ideas. However, I’d like to mention a few that I’ve coincidentally been thinking about recently anyway. 

First of all, I’d like to see a crossover between “Wander Over Yonder” and “Zig & Sharko” due to the many parallels I’ve been able to draw between the two. 

In case you don’t know, “Zig & Sharko” is a a French animated slapstick comedy television series created and directed by Olivier Jean-Marie and produced by Xilam Animation (known for creating other successful series such as “Space Goofs” and “Oggy and the Cockroaches”). It shares the first two genres with WOY and has many similar character archetypes. 

Both cartoons have a "bad guy” who wants to kill a “good guy”. 

Both bad guys have small sidekicks that are underappreciated by them and are also way smarter, making most of the plans and generally doing all the work. 

Both good guys wear a star as their head accessory (in Marina’s case, it’s the starfish hairpin, and in Wander’s, it’s the star is attached to his hat) and are oftentimes (at least seemingly) oblivious to the bad guys’ attempts to destroy them. 

Both of them also find the bad guy’s right hand man adorable. 

And finally, the good guy also has a strong companion who protects them and who they are very close to.

I haven’t watched all the episodes of “Zig & Sharko”, but if I did, there would most likely be even more parallels I could draw. I would also like to see this crossover because the characters from Z&S don’t talk, so watching the characters from WOY try to communicate with them non-verbally (or watching the characters from Z&S talk for once, allowing the audience to find out what their canon voices would sound like) would be very interesting to me.

Second of all, I’d like to include an honorary mention. 

While it’s not a cartoon, I’d really like to see a crossover between the characters from “Wander Over Yonder” and the “Patapon” franchise. 

If you don’t know, Patapon is a series of video games published originally for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) handheld game console combining gameplay features of a rhythm game and a god game. The title is created from two Japanese onomatopoeia (the process of creating a word that phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests the sound that it describes), pata (marching) and pon (drumming). 

The game is presented in a cartoonish, silhouetted two-dimensional environment, and features the player acting as a deity who commands an army of caricatured miniature tribal creatures by beating traditional talking drums. The game was developed by Pyramid and produced by Japan Studios. 

It has two sequels, with Patapon 3 being the conclusion to the series (just like season 3 of WOY was supposed to be - third time’s the charm!). Additionally, the first 2 games were remastered in 2017 and 2020 for the PlayStation 4 (PS 4). Despite this, the series is still fairly underrated, and I urge you to check it out! 

The “Patapon” franchise features characters that are very similar to watchdogs in that they are an army of talking eyeballs, most of whom are male. 

Additionally, they are led by a (generally) smart leader - Meden in “Patapon” and Peepers in “Wander Over Yonder” - who can be differentiated from the rest of their species by their height (Meden is taller thanks to her legs, whereas Peepers is shorter) and their head accessory (Meden has an elaborate headdress of five coloured feathers instead of a usual cap or helm, and Peepers has a differently shaped helmet with a bigger lightning bolt than normal). 

All 3 games even have characters shaped as stars (which is a reocurring symbol in Wander Over Yonder)! They’re called Hoshipon (“Hoshi” (星) means “star” in Japanese).

That’s just some of the things I could think of off the top of my head! I might go into more details about the similarities between the aforementioned franchises specifically later, as well as draw fanart and/or write fanfiction based on my observations, too. 

This is it for now, though! I hope you enjoyed. Please consider participating in the “Trending 27th” event if you haven’t already!
