Tom Holland AU: You’re dating him

MASTERLIST

being a brazilian woman is a nightmare

tw: rape!!!

i know this has nothing to do with this blog but i need to talk about this.

a brazilian influencer was raped by a businessman in 2018 while working to promote a luxury beach club in florianópolis. she was drugged, abandoned by her friends (who later made fun of her) and raped. 

she decided to speak up and report him and let me tell you, she has proof. medical exams, witnesses, security videos from the beach club (in which she’s visibly drunk/on drugs, barely standing up straight, and we can see him by her side).

the trial had been going on for 2 years. the rapist, andré de camargo aranha, white, rich and with some very powerful connections, hired one of the most expensive lawyers in santa catarina (and also known for defending big far-right activists) who humiliated the victim, showing pictures of her in a bikini (the olddddddd ridiculous tactic), making fun of her while she cried, calling her tears fake and accusing her of lying to get followers (she lost her instagram account, her job, her friends. she spent the last 2 years living for therapy appointments and the case. this makes no fucking sense).

he was first considered guilty, then innocent, and now he was sentenced with something along the lines of… unintentional rape? 

no, that is not a valid sentence. we don’t have that in the constitution. what we do have is “estupro de vulnerável”, when someone rapes a minor or an unconscious/drugged/drunk person (or anyone who is unable to consent), and that should be the final sentence. not a made up word so you won’t make powerful people angry.

all of this makes me feel sad and tired and defeated and TERRIFIED because of the precedent it creates. i honestly wanna die. the last bit of me that believed in justice died today. i need to study today but i don’t think i’ll be able to.

i just hope this girl has peace. in life. because they sure are trying to kill her.

I HAVE WAITED ALL YEAR TO POST THIS

canon: characters hate eachother, constantly compete, rude to eachother, have relationships with other people, show no signs of remotely liking each other

me: they’re in LOVE

blackwatchandromeda’s fic rec list

so i’ve seen a lot of these going round, and in honor of fanfic appreciation day i’m going to jump on the bandwagon and share my fic rec list! these are the ones i always love to come back to. they’re all super talented and brilliant - check them out! in no particular order:

a river to skate away on by @frostysunflowers - the best memory loss fic out there, period. incredible writing and fantastic characterization!

turn back the clock (and i’ll try again in the morning) by @madasthesea - time loop plus identity reveal equals fanfiction gold. i have reread this an embarrassing amount of times: the angst is absolutely supreme, and the resolution is immensely satisfying!

alucinari by celluloid - a fantastic fic exploring the effect of ffh on peter. it’s a little dark, but incredibly well written!

runaway by spectra - irondad is upped to the max when peter runs away from home. it’s a cool concept, and executed brilliantly!

when in doubt just keep the faith by sparrowflight246 - this is one of my favorite biodad fics of all time. it’s supremely angsty, but the comfort is well worth it!

goner by @emkayohh / camelotqueen - peter goes after a serial killer in queens. one of the best kidnap fics out there, imo!

let’s kick it by @too-many-bees / civilbores - peter gets an alien disease and deals with it spectacularly badly. amazing hurt/comfort and a fab conclusion

it wasn’t you by @losingmymindtonight - i’m a sucker for fics like these, and this is a shining example. supremely good whump and recovery

the entirety of @tempestaurora‘s whumpvember series - there’s not much i can say that the series doesn’t say for itself: this is one of the best 30-day whump challenges i’ve ever read! each part has incredible effort put into it, and stands alone extremely well

i’ll always find you in the drift by @tempestaurora - this is a crossover with pacific rim, but even if you’re unfamiliar with it this fic is still a fantastic ride and deserves more attention. the characterization is perfect, and it’s filled with brilliant cameos

five times peter parker pretended to be asleep by @blondsak - all-around incredible 5+1 featuring the amazingly-characterized avengers, and great irondad! awesome blend of angst and humor

what if there is no tomorrow? by @iron–spider - it’s another time loop, but this time tony’s inside it. it’s a brilliant reworking of the groundhog day trope to fit mcu characters, and it keeps amazingly well to the original film’s tone

brooklyn by @hailing-stars - i’m usually not a fan of bad guy may stories, but this fic absolutely knocks it out of the park. it also carries a healthy dose of ironmom! (note: this is part six of a series, which is fantastic and sets up this story.)

don’t leave me now by @iron–spider - peter thinks he’s losing his powers, and it leads to a whole lot of fantastic hurt/comfort. one of my favorite fics!

i’m probably guaranteed to have forgotten a bunch of my other favorites on here, but i encourage you to read all these and give the authors some love! happy fanfic appreciation day. 💕

You cant criticise Israel or zionism without at least one person going “so do you hate jewish people?” Or any other varient of asking you to denounce antisemitism. Yet Israelis can march while demeaning and insulting Muslims and our religious figures, or can openly call for mass genocide by chanting “death to all Arabs” and no one bats an eye? Where is the call for them to denounce Islamophobia?

Dont turn it into a “so are you saying one shouldn’t denounce antisemitism if their counterparts don’t denounce islamophobia?” Because I that is not what I’m saying. Both are as bad as the other and it’s hypocritical of you to support one and ignore the other.

Antisemitism and Islamophobia have no place in our society and it’s disturbing to know that most people don’t feel like that.

I urge you to watch this video and compare it to the previous pictures and videos of Palestine and its people that I’ve posted. You will notice a very obvious difference, people in Palestine are trying to survive while Israelis are encouraging mass genocide and an ethnic cleansing. There are countless videos of people, children, mourning their friends and family while the people in this video want more of them dead. How is this okay? Why is no one holding Israel accountable? Where are the sanctions? And where are the world leaders now? Everyone was quick to jump on the “they have the right to defend themselves” boat but who exactly are they defending themselves from? This doesn’t seem like self defence to me? The world is watching Israel and there simply is no way for anyone to deny that whats going on is wrong.
