Mais ma meilleure ennemie, c'est toi Fuis-moi, le pire, c'est toi et moi
images I screenshotted towards the end of this video clip:
Original Tweet/X Post states: Presenting, "your sustainable future with eV batteries" Brought to you by: Cobalt Mines of Congo. Twitter/X User Response to this video, originally: What scares me is so much "green" technology and products and such are built off human suffering. The entire world is built on this. The entire world is irrevobaly tied to mass exploitation and I desperately hope that changes in my lifetime. #CongoGenocide #CongoIsBleeding
I have attached a video below these Tweet/X images of Congolese people in Cobalt mines. Video Description: Men, in front of a large, dark brown and muddy area of the mine are digging other men out of a hole that have been inside, excavating for Cobalt. These men are not wearing any protective equipment; other than something to cover their eyes, like goggles and lights attached to them. There is a crowd of people surrounding this area and many are cheering them on; a few men are pulled out due to the velocity/force of being pushed out of the mine area they are coming out from. It looks like the mine is opening up and down like the entrance of a beast's mouth. The exit of this part of the mine opens and closes several times during this video. I took a screenshot at the end of the video to showcase how many people have gathered, and there appears to be hundreds.
*UPDATE: The original person on X, formerly known as Twitter, who posted about this story as a re-tweet, is transphobic. I was unaware, and it was recently brought to my attention. For anyone who has read my pinned post or hasn't yet, I do not align with TERFs/transphobes/transmisogynists. I cropped out the original tweet/X post and added their initial commentary on the video just for context, my apologies for the oversight.*
Whew! I managed to finish in time. I always never finish in time for the day, so kudos to me. Happy Birthday to a very selfless character, who deserves all the love in the world. Happy Birthday Ray!
Qimir: osha addict
I lost a friend this week. Drawing is the only thing that numbs it for a while, and I just finished Arcane, so I'm full of Timebomb fan art.
Sakura Week Day 3: Fantasy (Fairy)
Jinx sketches :))
Masha The Hero
I still don't necessarily think Jinx and Ekko straight up had sex offscreen, but I saw someone make an excellent counterpoint to the objection that Jinx wasn't in the right mindset for that/Ekko wouldn't have "taken advantage" of her.
The counterpoint being: All of Arcane's love scenes are kinda fucked up anyway.
Mel and Jayce's scene is intercut with Viktor dying and being the subject of nonconsensual blood magic. Vi and Caitlyn getting cozy on Caitlyn's bed is interrupted by a smash-cut to Jinx being revived in a torturous medical crime. Everything about the Caitlyn/Maddie relationship is upsetting and deliberately played to be upsetting. And Vi and Caitlyn finally have sex in Jinx's jail cell while Jinx is on her way to kill herself (I don't actually have much of a problem with this like a lot of people do, but c'mon, they were definitely leaning into the kink there).
So Ekko and Jinx getting it on while she's still kind of maybe suicidal is honestly pretty tame by comparison.
I think that another element enforced Ekko's decision to return to his world was that, while he clearly enjoyed his time with Powder, she wasn't his. We see it in that while she uses her genius to help Ekko and Heimerdinger develop the Z-drive, she doesn't do it because she has a passion for it, she does it because a loved one asked her to.
In her world, she already has it pretty good. Life is improving for Zaun, she has her family, she has her Ekko who she is content to act more as his assistant, developing the ideas he comes up with. She likes her little lot in life.
But our Ekko's Powder is Jinx, whose mind is awhirl with changing ideas and chaotic imagination. Who can come up with the bonkers idea of turning her hideout into a goddamn war balloon. Who puts her artistry into her weapons, making it more a part of herself.
That Powder was born of general peace and comfort and deserves the Ekko who shares that experience. But our Ekko, the Boy Savior, knows that despite their sordid history, he can relate more to Jinx than he ever could to Powder.
Oh this is hella interesting. I have zero writing skills, but anyone willing to bless us with this prompt🙏✨
OKAY HEAR ME OUT ITASAKU FANS
An idea for itasaku came to my mind, listen. I have no perfect English to write a fanfic but i may draw things related to this. If you are a writer you should give it a chance.
25-26 yo Sakura recently starts to get weird flashbacks with no hint of the person in her memories. Casual stuff starts to remind her somethings that she can not clearly remember and she knows there is someone with no face and spesific features. Like, she pets crows whenever she sees them, orders dango everytime she goes to cafe and most importantly, she finds an unknown red hair pin in her mom's home that doesnt even belong to her.
One day Sarada is talking about getting a pet on dinner and her grandparents jokes about Sakura having a crow in her childhood. And Sakura clearly doesn't remember this. After this, Sakura is aware that her some memories are erased from her mind. About who? About what? And why?
