Welcome to my little pile of garbage

@that-faerie-in-the-corner

Any pronouns. My Ao3 is Violet_Eyed_Changeling. This is a side blog to promote my fanfics and to post dumb au stuff. I'm on the spectrum, sapphic, and a minor. That's all you need to know about me.

Info about my blog

This is a side blog that’s mostly for reblogs, things for my AUs, and random thoughts that I decide people need to see. Currently, I have a BJHM hyperfixation, but I’m also into SCP, ATLA, PnF/MML, Good Omens, Madoka Magica, Undertale/Deltarune, analog horror, and a bunch of other stuff

How to filter this blog:

here comes some content open wide: original stuff

my art shit: my own art

things that make me smile like an idiot: reblogs of things that I just really like

not my art: What do you think. Art I reblogged that isn’t mine

let’s make reality suck less: reblogs of fundraisers/social justice stuff

Back on My Bullshit: random musings

shitpost: what it says on the tin

if you want a specific fandom just search the name of the thing, it’ll come up (more tags to be added)

DNI if you are:

a TERF, a SWERF, a transmed, anti-aspec, anti-arospec, anti-microlabel, anti-mspec, map/no-map, a kink blog, a p*rn blog, a mgtow, just an exclusionist in general, support ABA/autism speaks, or an anti to any of my fandoms

Today in fighting Christian hegemony, a non-exclusive list of some concepts Christians/culturally Christian people seem to think Judaism and Christianity agree on that they don’t:

1. Original Sin

2. What it means to be “chosen”

3. Sin/Chet

4. Dualistic afterlife

5. Charity/Tzedakah

6. Monotheism

7. Meaning of the Tanakh

8. Theism

9. Blasphemy

10. “The world to come”

11. What “religion” means

12. G-d and gender

13. The role of women

14. Questioning

15. Science and Religion

16. When life begins

17. Modesty

18. Anthropomorphism of G-d

19. Angels (Malachim)

20. Free will

21. Justice

Could a Jewish person please elaborate on the Jewish pov for these concepts?

I’m rarely fast, but I do usually try to answer! I am going to focus on my own list for this response (and even that I will take in chunks), largely because we enter areas of far more complex theologies and differences between denominations of Judaism in the additional list. Addressing them all at once would require a novel, and I’m not so much for novel writing on my cell phone in the tumblr app.

So let’s look at 1-5 today!

Getting back to more usual fare for this blog, let’s take a look at 6-9!!

We will finish up with 10 & 11 in the coming days.

If your plot feels flat, STUDY it! Your story might be lacking...

Stakes - What would happen if the protagonist failed? Would it really be such a bad thing if it happened?

Thematic relevance - Do the events of the story speak to a greater emotional or moral message? Is the conflict resolved in a way that befits the theme?

Urgency - How much time does the protagonist have to complete their goal? Are there multiple factors complicating the situation?

Drive - What motivates the protagonist? Are they an active player in the story, or are they repeatedly getting pushed around by external forces? Could you swap them out for a different character with no impact on the plot? On the flip side, do the other characters have sensible motivations of their own?

Yield - Is there foreshadowing? Do the protagonist's choices have unforeseen consequences down the road? Do they use knowledge or clues from the beginning, to help them in the end? Do they learn things about the other characters that weren't immediately obvious?

this is so so important to me and mine, and I'm asking you to Do Something so I'll respect your time and keep it brief

in the UK, if 100k sign a a government petition it will be brought to Parliament and debated. y'all know this country is suffering from some 80s-style bigotry right now, and this is one symptom: almost 200k fuckholes have come together to force the government to discuss whether it is 'appropriate' to tell children that queer people exist. this is a big symbolic victory for them. and i am burning with fury.

please, if you're from the UK, sign this counter-petition so they can at least see how much of a minority they are. simply put, the attempt to put these bastards in their place isn't gathering enough steam. there are barely 2000 more signatures now than there were this morning (27th January 2023), and that isn't enough. i refuse to let these people feel even a moment of victory or satisfaction. please help.
