I don't know if anyone did it, but I can't breathe (yes it's easy to make me laugh)
Bonus (because why not) :
Some sketches (again), because I can’t finish one art I'm working on
But I will finish it one day
One day
((And yes, I didn’t find that comic where this idea came from, so if you know, tell me plz))
Read from left to right please! An AU where the Uno who had lived through timeline where Donald is killed by Evronians, is switched out with one who is living together with him raising the triplets.
Just my random idea about "what if Odin still wears his wedding ring"
+in case anyone just dislike my weird coloring style in this one. You can have this:
I really liked these two posts (1 and 2) so I decided to make a mini comic. I hope you don't mind me replacing Drake with Scrooge?
Your whole blog is a masterpiece, thank you for it. And I don’t know what else to write so hold this little heart 💜

Aaaand a little bonus with Uno, who has his own list:
(Yes, I don’t know how to draw ducks and what will you do to me? I’m in another country)
Robots 👀,,
I have like a whole comic idea about them, but have no idea how to make comics sJJSJ
Looking in the mirror, Chris’ found his nightmare coming true. He woke up more perfect than the day before. Chris neared a panic. He needed to pull himself together, but wasn’t that part of the problem!? UGH! What was he doing?!?
That’s when Chris just stopped believing in winning all together. Like Santa Clause, it was fun to a point. Then it seemed cruel. Now, it just doesn’t really make sense. It was also really, really, REALLY expensive.
How was it you had to lie to make money to buy Christmas gifts AND to give them?!? NO THK U.
UGGGHHH. It was official. Winning, perfection and Santa Clause all sucked donkey butt. GREAT. Now what?
Maybe Brad would suck his butt? That would be nice.

Yes, let's let these two quotes stand on their own and let them have an effect on what is happening right now.
One is one thing and the other is another and the two cannot be compared, no matter how much the oh-so-righteous world feels the need to relativise things.

On a normal October day, innocent people who did not wish their neighbours and other people harm or even death were cruelly massacred, raped and murdered. They were cruelly confronted with the human abyss of hatred by inhuman terrorists on their national territory without any declaration of war and without warning and paid for it with their lives or were abducted under horrific humiliation and torture.
No matter what happened afterwards, this stands for itself and for the inhuman hatred of Hamas, which never had any intention of living in coexistence with Israel. The aim of this terrorist organisation is to wipe out Israel. Full stop!
As part of its reason of state, Israel cannot and could not leave this unanswered. You can't negotiate with terrorists, no matter which state is responsible for such atrocities. With the only logical goal of eliminating the threat to its inhabitants and for reasons of state.
Reason of state
Striving for security and self-assertion of the state by any means
The concept of raison d'état means the pursuit of security and self-assertion of the state by any means. According to Wolfgang Kersting, raison d'état represents a "rule of hierarchy for conflicts of interest and law". This usually refers to Machiavelli's classic trinity of "voluntas, necessitas and utilitas" ("will, necessity, utility") as the legitimising factors of state actions.
In this sense, reason of state is a rational calculation of a government's interests, regardless of the form of government, and is solely committed to maintaining the functioning of the state. A more recent interpretation of reason of state is the requirement that the state must successfully assert itself against crime in order to prevent blackmail and imitation, among other things
Why are you so uncompassionate when it comes to the victims of terrorists and have so much sympathy for the consequences caused by Hamas, which also affect innocent people?
Don't you wonder how a group of terrorists can live in Gaza uninvolved and with enormous money resources and if this hamas really wants the best for the Palestinian people then why is everyone living so precariously. It is not because of the size of the Gaza area even smaller areas where people live in confined spaces are social and economic success. So where does the money go year after year that hamas gets? Probably not in the general welfare of the Palestinian population but in modern war technology which has no benefit for the normal people.
If you look closely, you can see that other interests are being pursued here than peace for the Middle East. But that is not the issue now.
It is cruel and only we come to other things which are not comparable to the terrorism of hamas against innocent civilians.
The Palestinian people do not deserve to suffer the consequences of the reasons of state triggered by the atrocities of hamas. Human rights must be respected within the framework of the laws of war. Civilians are inviolable and this applies to both sides.
And yes, the conflict must be resolved, but I won't be making any friends. It has to hurt a lot before it gets better! In the Thirty Years' War, Catholic and Protestant warring parties killed and humiliated each other until everyone had had enough of the joint slaughter and then found peace together. The Peace of Westphalia, in which all atrocities were mutually forgiven and forgotten. This is the only way to live in peace.
Only those who recognise that it can only work together and do not see what they want, but see how far they can get away from the other so that we can live together successfully, have the solutions in their hands.

On behalf of all those murdered, I stand here only as the face of a person whose life was far too short. Life is a human right that was denied to me.
In memory of the innocent victims
A brief history of Israel and my take on the conflict.
If you disagree and this post does nothing but make you angry, okay. Feel free to comment below. But if you want to discuss back and forth and want me to respond consistently, please message me b/c that's just easier to keep track of.
But just in case there are people out there who just don't know what they don't know, and their opinions might be changed with some facts, here are a few of those:
Israel is the ancestral land of the Jewish people. No group can trace its history back to Israel further than the Jews can. As far as human history can show us, they are the original indigenous people to the area.
Both the Quran and the Bible call the Jews, the "Children of Israel." There is documentation of a substantial and deep-rooted Jewish presence and nation-state in the Levant from long before there was an Arab state, and nearly two millennia before Islam was ever founded.
The land was occupied by foreign invaders, multiple times. The Jews were expelled and forced to wander in the diaspora, though some remnant always managed to stay behind, which is why there is a continuous Jewish presence in the land for thousands of years. The Romans ruled it as a vassal state which they renamed 'Palestine', meant as an insult to the Jews. Arabs eventually gained control from the Romans and ruled it in various groups and kingdoms.
Whenever Jews would return to the area, they quickly created financial and structural success. Poverty-stricken Arabs began to stream in from the surrounding Arab countries, hoping to join in the prosperity that the settled Jews were attaining. The Jews did not fight this, and instead did the best they could to live and prosper under the Ottoman Empire and then under the British.
But they wanted to be free to live in their land under their own rule. As antisemitism around the globe grew, the idea of a Jewish State in their historical homeland gained traction: Zionism. The Mandate for Palestine specified that the Jews could create a national homeland on both sides of the Jordan.
The Arabs complained. They too, wanted a state of their own within the Mandate. So the British carved away 78% of the Mandate, which they’d promised to the Jews, and gave it to the Arabs for their own national homeland, which was called “Transjordan” and later renamed “Jordan.”
The Arabs were still not satisfied with this plan. They wanted all of the land, even though they were being offered the massive majority of land. They wanted the Jews gone entirely. The UN came up with the Partition Plan. The Jews accepted this compromise. The Arabs did not and once again became violent.
The Jews declared statehood. Seven Arab armies attacked, hoping to annihilate the Jews and believing they could do it quite handedly. Before they attacked, they told the Arabs living in the land to leave for the duration of the war. The idea was that the displaced Arabs could come back once they'd successfully ethnically cleansed the Jews.
While peace was offered by the Jews, it was soundly and violently rejected by the Arabs, and the resultant chaos, displacement, and deaths that this led to is referred to as the 'Nakba'. The Nakba was the end result of the Arabs' continuous and unwavering opposition to any form of peaceful coexistence.
Since that time, the UN has granted refugee status to the Arabs who left Israel, and extended that status to apply to their offspring, although as mentioned above, many of these refugees left of their own free will, at the behest of the surrounding Arab nations. Once the Jews were wiped off the map, they were promised, they could return.
That didn't work out for them. The Jews won the war. Now, what has each side chosen to do with their time and money since then? It's not hard to spot the difference:
Since 1948, the Jews have accepted in the Jewish populations of Algeria, Syria, Jordan, Qatar, Lebanon, Morocco, Egypt, and more; because those countries don't want or accept Jews in their intolerant societies. Meanwhile, most of those countries have refused to accept in Palestinian refugees themselves.
The Jews have built a society where Arab Israelis are afforded equal rights, vote, serve on the supreme court, are elected into the Knesset, work as doctors, lawyers, etc.; and are allowed to openly practice their Islamic religion. Meanwhile in the surrounding Arab states and in Gaza/the West Bank, there is no such equality, and Jews are persecuted, if they are tolerated at all.
The Israelis have spent their money on improving their society with education, defense, and a vastly developed infrastructure; whilst the Arabs have spent their money on maintaining a rather consistently non-stop terror campaign. The Palestinians receive $1.15 billion of foreign aid a year - more than any other group in the world - but they squander it.
Given these differing choices, it is not hard to see why one group is doing quite well, whilst the other flounders.
Due to the Israelis defending themselves with intelligence, counter offensives, and the iron dome, they've managed to remain on the map.
Despite all of the Arab violence, Israel has tried to negotiate a peace settlement with the Arabs over and over and over again (1948, 1949, 1957, 1978, 1979, 1991, 1993, 1998, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2020). But the Arabs have a firmly proclaimed "3 no's" policy of "no recognition," "no negotiation," and "no peace." They reject every single peace plan and instead constantly engage in terror attacks against the Jews.
At this point, antisemitism is deeply embedded in Arab culture of the Levant. Progressive Western values for things such as gay rights, women's rights, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, and religious freedom are routinely accepted by the Israelis and routinely rejected by the Arabs, who's leaders continue to espouse intolerance, and continue to jail, torture, and execute dissidents - thousands of their own people.
Perhaps most tragically of all, the Arabs are led by Hamas - a terrorist group whom they elected into power and who have little if any interest in doing what's best for the Palestinian people. The priority of Hamas, as is openly stated in their charter, is to eradicate both Israel and all Jews worldwide. They use their own people as human shields, preventing evacuations and operating militarily out of areas such as schools, apartment buildings, and hospitals. The Gaza ministry is currently going on television and telling people of Gaza not to evacuate when they get the warnings. This is unconscionable.
Yet, the Jews are still willing to cede massive swathes of territory, to try to compromise over and over and over again, and to attempt to get along with people who are different from them. Meanwhile those same people refuse to settle for anything less than all the territory, Jew-free. The qualitative difference between these two groups and how they operate is glaring.
I do want to mention that while it is true that many Arabs living in the Levant are deeply and culturally antisemitic at this point, many of them are not! Many of them are just good people who have been unlucky enough to be born into an unfortunate conflagration of geography, religion, and culture, and cannot control that they are stuck living in the side that perpetuates death, terror, destruction, and intolerance.
These Arabs are victims, and they deserve to live prosperous lives free of terror, suffering and death. Unfortunately this will never happen so long as they are held hostage by an evil group like Hamas.
I'm not religious, but if you are, then:
Please pray for a short war and minimum civilian casualties.
Please pray for air strike warning notices to be heeded and evacuations facilitated.
Pray for Arabs to choose to govern themselves democratically and to spend their money constructively.
Pray for the Israeli forces to use good judgement and abide by the international rules of war while this conflict plays out.
Pray for Arabs to escape their Hamas oppressors and find safety and shelter as this war runs its course.
Pray for coexistence, and for religious tolerance.
Pray for the swift and utter destruction of Hamas.
Again, feel free to leave whatever comments you like below. I know a lot of people get furious when faced with opinions and facts refuting their own viewpoints. I welcome any arguments or counter evidence you want to link me to in the comments and promise I will read/watch it.
But if you want to engage in a back and forth discussion with me, messaging is just easier for me to keep track of it.
And please signal boost this post by reblogging! The point is to try and give some fact-based perspective to the pro-Hamas supporters.
Since World War II, there has been a trend towards fewer wars, the Russian invasion of the Ukraine standing as a major 'aberration'. With decades of experience as an international lawyer, diplomat and head of UN Iraq inspections, Hans Blix examines conflicts and other developments after World War II. He finds that new restraints on uses of force have emerged from fears about nuclear war, economic interdependence and UN Charter rules. With less interest in the conquest of land, states increasingly use economic or cyber means to battle their adversaries. Such a turn is not free from perils but should perhaps be welcomed as an alternative to previous methods of war. By analysing these new restraints, Blix rejects the fatalistic assumption that there will always be war. He submits that today leading powers are saying farewell to previous patterns of war, instead choosing to continue their competition for power and influence on the battlefields of economy and information.

Let's talk about the good man who always assumed that crises could be solved with diplomacy.
The competition between states without war is the counter-model to the eternal repetition of escalation which has always led to war and conflict.

I don't think that anyone seriously fears that the world can be blown to pieces all together. But what one can fear and rightly so are regional things, like in the Middle East, India, Pakistan, the Korean Peninsula, borders in Africa, etc.

The consequences of the Iraq war have changed the whole course of history. Based on a lie by the US to take revenge for 9/11, the entire world's history was changed and we are still feeling the effects.
mod
Iraq never had weapons of mass destruction but the hawks in the white house wanted war and ultimately did not change the entire world's history for the better and that's putting it nicely.
In an in-depth interview with director Greta Stocklassa, retired politician and diplomat Hans Blix reflects on his career as head of the UN Arms Control Commission and the legacy he will leave behind for future generations. The 94-year-old Swede held the post during the war on terror between 2000 and 2003, becoming a key player in a global crisis.
While one war fades from history, another has begun.
Humanity is doomed to repeat its patterns and mistakes.
The greatest threat to humanity is the use of weapons of mass destruction, overpopulation with not enough resources, climate change.
Hans Blix
The most important thing is not that the truth dies in war, but the battle for the sovereignty of interpretation of words.
To put it bluntly, what happened on 7 October cannot be legitimised by the Palestinian people's struggle for freedom, which had its final outcome in this event, as some would have the world believe.
Terrorism differs from resistance movements, guerrillas or national liberation movements less in its choice of weapons than in its choice of objectives: A national liberation or resistance movement is usually militarily expansive, whereas terrorism attempts to attract as much attention as possible with its acts of violence in order to undermine closed power structures and to exemplify the vulnerability of such structures and make them publicly accessible to the population.
Women, children and peaceful people who are unsuspectingly and bestially murdered, raped or cruelly abducted are only the targets of butchers and never the target of a freedom fight, no matter where in the world it takes place.
What took place on 7 October was a massacre of civilians like the Nazis started in the Second World War and cannot be weighed against the injustice that preceded the massacre.
But the strike against hamas, which was initially justified on the basis of reasons of state, has become a punishment of the entire Palestinian people and can no longer be legitimised.
Israel's legitimate self-defence has turned into a campaign of annihilation.
mod
Driving people from one side to the other in order to get a free field of fire and then in a kind of continuous loop where ultimately there are only temporary protected spaces for civilians contradicts every rule of civil defence. And can be regarded without reservation as an act against humanity.
However, the comparison with the genocide caused by the systematic extermination of the Jewish people by the Nazis is not accurate. That would simply be wrong, even if the injustice being done to the Palestinian people is inhumane.
Yes, it is a crime, but it is not genocide. The systematic extermination of people is not the case here, no matter how much you want to make the comparison, it does not reflect the past.
On behalf of all those murdered, I stand here only as the face of a person whose life was far too short.
Life is a human right that was denied to me.
In memory of the innocent victims
What happened on 7 October stands alone and is a crime against humanity.
Stop relativising it and comparing it with the consequences it has triggered.
mod
When I look into the face of this young woman who was murdered under unbearable circumstances I feel deep compassion and deep sorrow for the loss of a person who would have made the world a better place.
Anyone who massacres peaceful people and believes that this is a fight for freedom is so humanly brutalised that he deserves no mercy even in the eyes of humanity.
Only his God, in whose name he supposedly acted, can give him mercy. And let's be honest, a god does not need fallible imperfect murderers to do his work, because he/she/it is a god.
Whoever murders women, children, family as a final action in the name of the Palestinian people as part of the struggle for freedom should not be surprised that the consequences are no longer in his power.
The hamas murderers have done more harm to the Palestinian people and only for the reason of absolute contempt for humanity due to their war crimes.
The consequences from which the Palestinian people are now suffering are unacceptable, but never compare the cause with the effect.
There is no genocide of the Palestinian people, even if one would like to see it that way as a propaganda tool. Yes, what is happening to the Palestinian people is cruel, but it is not genocide. In a genocide, nobody warns the victims that they are being bombed, as sad as this statement is.
The systematic extermination of Jews in Germany stands for itself.
The Palestinian people have the right to a state but unfortunately hamas' sick ideology of destroying Israel has never been a good prospect for the success of a two state solution. The political situation in Israel has also not really actively promoted the solution.
But just back to the victims of the first hour, when I saw the first pictures and news I felt deep sorrow for all the innocent people who were unsuspectingly and bestially murdered.
Those who did not invent this and even celebrated it should not now complain about the consequences which even I do not like.
mod
One was the unimaginable act of massacre of harmless Israeli citizens carried out by the terrorists of hamas.
The other is the state's reasons to retaliate accordingly.
But what is happening right now is not in the name of state reasons, is a war crime.
And anyone who points this out and condemns it on the basis of destruction without resorting to dogmatic and propaganda means is a human rights activist who has the freedom and protection of life of all in mind.
And the propaganda club of: you are ani semites is ineffective and inappropriate in relation to the human rights charter.
mod equal among equals
Everyone has the right to live in peace and security, even if terrorists are hiding among them. The mosad has completely failed and now the failure is being compensated for with the army and at the same time made even bigger!
The current state of Gaza suggests that a good breeding ground for new terrorists has been created under which the world is suffering.
How can anyone be so short-sighted? The issue will be on the agenda of world history for years to come. Pressure creates counter-pressure. Physical set.
Stop the war, reach out and see what the other needs to create a mutual win a situation for the future.
Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

The interesting thing is that nobody is allowed to forge your passport or ID card and it is illegal to steal your identity, but you are not granted data sovereignty.
So we don't have the right to see all the data of everyone here, for example the boss of Toyota, their movements, their driving behaviour and so on. .... was a joke, which of course was also meant for the tech industry.
mod
If you had the choice, it would be nice to have the choice to sell your data yourself, or simply not make it usable and therefore not sell it.
No, you don't have data sovereignty, it's the gold of the present and the future to make us look at even more crap. To make us a tailor-made offer in our data bubbles.
You're driving on the motorway and suddenly your smartphone, controlled by the car and other factors, tells you to drive out of here because there's exactly the food you like so much, or you get a crappy insurance rate because your car has transmitted your driving behaviour to the insurance company.
The data octopuses create professional behavioural profiles and you really have the illusion of being free when you are so predictable and predictable. The wolves know what the sheep are doing and even make money from them without pulling the wool over their eyes.
mod
It needs to be established internationally at the UN that personal data belongs to the individual and that you have to ask them if they want to sell it.
I don't know of any company that would give up their data if they didn't have to, and it's just data!
They all cast about for customer data, citizens.... in order to be able to calculate them in the good case they just want to sell something in the bad case they use your behaviour against you..... social scoring in China this is how you control sheep that could become dangerous to the wolf.
mod
The best thing is that almost the app we use sucks our data and we even voluntarily allow this because we are simply too lazy to read the small print and to configure the rights accordingly, which said, no, only technically necessary data nothing more.
