Got a new sketchbook and did a color swatch on the very first page:

No words can describe how much I want this reboot to be real!!

My fancast for if there's ever a Fiddler On The Roof remake (I don't know if there will be one but I want to make a fancast anyway)

Ok so for Tevye, Jack Black. Is this controversial? Maybe. But he's Jewish and he fits and he can sing.

Ok so for Motel, I want to cast Logan Lerman. He looks soft, he can be awkward if needed, and I just want an excuse to cast him in another Jewish role.

Golde, Tevye's wife, should be Robin Weigert. Do I need to justify my choice? I don't think I do. It's a good choice.

Yente could be Rhea Perlman, she just fits the vibes, idk.

As just the fiddler that symbolically appears in the movie, Timothee Chalamet. He can dance and he isn't actually seen much in the movie so why not. I wouldn't show his face though, just his silhouette as they do for a majority of the original movie anyway. (He can also voice over Miracle of Miracles for Logan Lerman if need be.)

Perchik can be Milo Manheim because you know what, I need that guy in some Jewish roles and why not.

Chava can be played by Odeya Rush, Odeya could be good in that role I think.

Joey King can be Hodel. I have no justification for this other than running out of young Jewish actresses and also she is a good actress when she needs to be.

Swell Ariel Or can be Tzeitel. She was great in Beauty Queen Of Jerusalem and I think that she would fit the role of Tzeitel well.

Tanner Buchanan can be Fyedka because he looks like he could be him, I don't actually know much about this actor sorry.

Please add your own suggestions for other characters or even instead of some of my suggestions! I'm curious to see what you think.

*sighs* Gosh, I love Tumblr!

If you ever need motivation to continue writing in a journal or diary, just imagine yourself as some quirky protagonist in a coming-of-age movie writing down their quirky little thoughts and stuff.

It's a cruel subconscious ingraining of double standards, really. I absolutely suggest looking into actual, unbiased history of all this and only then can people reach an educated conclusion. But I doubt that many people would take that advice...

This probably won’t be super coherent, because I haven’t slept in 24 hours and I’m basically 80% caffeine, but I’ve been thinking about how western (usually white, though not always) goyim get mad whenever a Jew says “antizionism is usually a cover for antisemitism.” And how their answer is always, “my problem is Israel! Not Jews!”

Because here’s the thing: the west has a long, long history of culturally ingrained antisemitism. You may not think your hatred towards Israel and the diaspora Jews who have any connection to Israel is because it’s a Jewish state. But society has subconsciously primed you from birth to see Jews as inherently shady liars who have all the power and money and control, and who claim victimhood to hide this. You have been groomed to mistrust us, to see us as oppressors, to see us as intrinsically unethical. And you are aware that Israel is a Jewish state, regardless of whether you consciously think it matters. So when literally anything goes down in Israel/Palestine? Your first thought isn’t that these are two marginalized groups of people who were forced into the situation by both the west and the Middle East, then pitted against each other. Your first thought is that of course the Israelis are evil oppressors. They’re over-privileged white colonizers who have all the power and money and control. We need to make sure they all leave Israel, live under a second age of pogroms, or die (which they won’t, according to you, because they’re rich white people with a mansion in New Jersey). And you may believe that you don’t feel this way because they’re Jewish, but you don’t seem to realize that it’s the subconscious, ingrained antisemitism that not only leads you to all of these conclusions, but that also leads you to independently attach historically diaspora-focused antisemitic tropes—tropes that’s existed for thousands of years and have nothing to do with Israel—to Israelis and beyond.

And then you wonder why we don’t trust you.

I clicked thinking this was just a silly little comic but no, it wasn’t. However it’s super crucial to spread the message!

People still seriously kill sharks like this!? I can’t believe this!! Sharks are already treated badly enough!
