Heads Up: This Games Charity Bundle Was Finally Approved On Itch.io! It Opens This Friday, April 12th,

YEAH!!! like rei keeps saying throughout the story that no matter what he does, he knows people (undead) will still love him (iirc once near the beginning as a half-joke and once near the end, on stage -- these two instances parallel each other, which makes me think that it's a sentiment that should have been explored more). i think that would have been fantastic to explore through AI, especially since rei might have assumed that koga of all people would love AI rei more than the real deal.

Read the first half of UNDEAD climax translated and the second half with livetweets. Highkey wish UNDEAD confronted their AI countperarts more tbh. Especially given how the AI’s personalities seem to mostly come from UNDEAD’s past selves

I want to see them reflect on that but also I am a sucker for when different versions of a character co-exist. I want Rei AI to break down in our Rei’s arms tbh bc he has the pain that Ore Rei had. I just want the angst. A very self-indulgent angst moment here

Hello UNDEAD. Thoughts on your climax event? Did you enjoy your AI clones?

Rei: ...Sometimes I can still hear their voice.

how did adonis and koga start dating?

Adonis: That's how I see it at least.

@rimanne happy... enstars rarepair gift exchange day?! I was your partner — I come bearing monster hunter Kaoru and Adonis who form an unlikely partnership to hunt a certain vampire. Hope you enjoy!

I was asked why there's a zionist claim that the Palestininian identity is not legitimate. And I think it's important to understand why Palestinians as a whole are seen as a threat by Israel. To understand why it's not about Hamas.

The claim is that the Palestininian identity was made up in order to push us out. Palestinian existence is a threat to the legitimacy of Israel as a country.

I was taught in school that Palestine was empty when we got here. They used a Mark Twain quote. It was a barren land full of swamps and some nomadic people (Beduins) but as soon as we wanted to come here, the awful antisemitic Arabs sent people to settle here before we could to take up the space. I was in school in the settlements though. I was taught the most extreme version of this.

Another version of this is that Palestine was never its own thing, they're just Arabs the same as all Arabs from the surrounding countries. So they could just... scooch over and give us the space, please and thank you. In Israel no one uses the term Palestinian. If I do, people roll their eyes and dismissively go "Arab." An Arab is an Arab. It's a way to strip away their unique identity and blend them in with the rest to say they could always move to Jordan, or Syria, or Lebanon, and it's all the same to them.

It's a way to make Palestinian existence by itself into a malicious plot to deny us a homeland.

Because if Palestinians exist as a distinct group of people, we aren't the only ones with a connection to this land. And you don't create an ethnostate by sharing.

I see other forms of this mentality. Why won't all these Muslim countries take the people of Gaza as refugees? That's asking why they won't help Israel make its ethnic cleansing more neat and convenient. Yes, refugees should be taken in and given shelter. But this question shifts responsibility away from Israel. Palestinians shouldn't be forced suffer either ethnic cleansing that leaves them as refugees, or a genocide.
