We are almost four weeks into this hell and people still don’t GET IT and it makes me want to pull my hair out, quite honestly. It’s so frustrating that people don’t care to understand why war with Hamas is a necessity because their antisemitism gets in the way. That they are so quick to believe Israel is out there, putting it’s soldiers on the line just to what? Kill more Palestinians? For sport? Like running to the mamad everyday several times a day is fun? Like Israelis are to blame for the fact that Hamas doesn’t care about it’s people enough to safeguard them? Let’s not even get started on the way Jews are being targeted in the diaspora. Way to prove, in your rabid antizionistic fervor, why Israel should and must exist. Jews are safe from persecution nowhere else. You don’t have to post this, I just needed to vent…
"It’s so frustrating that people don’t care to understand why war with Hamas is a necessity"
This, Nonnie. So much this.
TBH, it's not even a necessity, it's just a reality. Hamas has been firing rockets without pause at Israel since Oct 7.
That's an act of war.
It has breached Israel's territory.
That's an act of war.
It did both those things to carry out a massacre of over 1,400 people, while also kidnapping 242 people.
Those actions constitute not just acts of war, they're also war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
That's just reality, and ALL of it was chosen by Hamas. Despite the ceasefire that existed on Oct 6 between Hamas and Israel. Despite Israel providing Gaza with internet, cellular services, 500 daily trucks of aid, water, electricity, fuel and more. Despite tens of thousands of Palestinian workers allowed to enter Israel daily to make more money than they could in Gaza.
It's also a choice by Hamas not to surrender. If they did, if they stopped firing rockets at Israel and returned the hostages, if they agreed to disarm, the war would be over in that moment. Instead, Hamas has declared they're committed to more such massacres in the future ("Al-Aqsa flood" is what Hamas calls the massacre):
People who call for an immediate ceasefire are basically calling on Israel to surrender to Hamas, and sit and wait for the next massacre. It's supporting the intended genocide that Hamas would carry out if (when) it has the means to.
If Israel, a nation still in mourning, not even having had the ability to fully process the trauma of Oct 7, went to fight Hamas in Gaza despite the obvious understanding that even more Israelis, even more young people, would die, that says a lot about the lack of choice that Israelis feel in this matter.
I hope you're doing okay, Nonnie! Take care of yourself, and don't hesitate to update me. xoxox

The cod lands value their alliances and are known to take inspiration from other cultures its not as though they don’t have any original traditions but a good few of them are a direct result of them putting their own spin on foreign cultures and imports from all over the world
The most well known example is the cod folks famous wood carvings the story goes a long time ago there was a young codish traveler who had stopped to stay the night in a mezalian inn while wondering the streets he could not help but admire the buildings he loved how symmetrical and perfectly placed the tiles were and it stuck with him
when he returned home he tried to recreate what he saw but he didn’t have the materials needed for it and he realized very quickly that he should have asked how it was made when he was there but hindsight is twenty twenty and he still wanted to try so he decided to ditch the colors and clay he focused on his favorite part
He went out side and picked up some tree bark he got a knife and scratched the same patterns the tiles were laid out in mezalia on the wood but smaller it was mess but he liked so he kept doing it when ever he got home from his travels he would sit down and carve patterns into the wood as time went on his work got neater and thought it was not as colorful as the tiles they were based on they focused more on little details they became beautiful and when he got old and settled down he started selling his work in the market soon enough it caught on and more people started carving wood for art rather than for utensils and weapons
Lots of Time has passed since then and along the way it even picked up some religious significance when children reached a certain age they carve a special bead to mark the day they took the oath to protect all cod it’s like a baptism or bat/bar mitzvah there guardian weaves the child a necklace to put the bead on and from then on when ever something significant happens they make another bead to put on the necklace but they only wear it for special occasions these things are so important to a person they never wear them casually and are heavy protected when someone dies they’re beads are hung in a mini cemetery that each family has because you can’t bury someone in a muddy swamp like you could in a dirt field
The cod father head is very special because when ever a cod father is introduced they create a bead but it doesn’t go on their necklace it goes on the cod father head alongside the beads of the past cod fathers unlike necklaces that are only worn sparingly the cod father head is to be worn every day to symbolize the cod fathers never ending responsibility to protect the legacy of the cod empire a constant reminder of the past present and future generations the cod fathers have to maintain it’s a lot of pressure and needless to say if a cod father were to loose the head or cod forbid have it be destroyed while in their hands well that would be blasphemy
but in the present long after the man died the art style he fathered keeps evolving with every new artist it gets further away from the tiles and became it’s own thing a art style that is unmistakably a art unique to the cod lands
There’s not much to headcannon about when it comes to which houses they would be sorted into because they already told us what they wanted there houses be
Patton is a hufflepuff
Logan is ravenclaw
Roman is gryffindor
And Virgil is the reason I made this post I headcannon that in a hogwarts setting he would be a squib maybe a groundskeeper in training that’s why he feels out of place and why he is so insecure

I think it’s funny how grian finds Jimmy intimidating it reminds me of the video where grian says that he thought jimmy was cool but then after getting to know him he realized that he’s a loser so maybe that’s what will happen here once grian sees how much of a loser Jimmy is he will wonder why he ever thought differently
First some explanation
The color of a gem can give you a good indication of what their personalities are because of the way gems are made by the diamond putting their essence into their creations resulting in the gem inheriting looks powers and personality traits from their creator
All the diamonds contribute to gem making process so a single gem usually is a combination of diamond traits it’s just that the mixture is uneven so the diamond that contributes more is the one that they get more from
An example of a gem that is a mix of multiple diamonds would be holly blue age she is a light blue with purple hair meaning the diamonds who’s essence was used to create her are pink white and blue
if it is a green gem then they have similar personalities to and even look like blue diamond and yellow diamond just like a red gem would be like pink diamond and yellow diamond
Powers and roles are also a good way to glean information about a gem
blue gems are elites that can control water and ice they are mellow but they let their emotions stew and spill over
Yellow gems make up much of the military and are technicians they are rational dutiful but also blunt
Pink gems are immature but empathetic the roles they take are entertainers and artists they seem to have an easier time shape shifting (their is a theory I’ve seen that they have fire powers but pink diamond never demonstrated it despite gems with pink essence having that ability)
White gems are perfectionists and self centered and are very high ranked
white gems or gems that are lighter shades of the colors have high positions the lighter blue gems are higher than others(aquamarine and sapphire) while the darker shades or mixed with to many different colors while valuable are not as high on the hierarchy( lapis and holly blue agate) also dark yellow or gems that are a yellow combo with pink and blue are common soldiers but topazes are a lighter shade of yellow than other yellow gems and also have a higher ranking than jasper who is orange
So Color is a good thing to keep in mind when making a gem au
Using the information we can guess what their factory settings are
Jimmy is a blue gem but is lighter than the average lapis and a little bit of green so if he was hit with a rejuvenator then I think his base personality would be like the sheriffs from empires season 2 but the negative traits turned up
From white he has a I can do no wrong attitude
From yellow he gets his stubbornness
From blue he gets petty ness and elitism
It sounds worse than it is he acts like an upper crust gem only sticking around because grian is a higher ranking than him but he ignores the lesser gems and gross organic life surrounding him
In order to get him back they need to jog his memory and for use to figure out what needs to happen to get him back we should make a back story here is my take
As soon as he emerged he was placed in a group of lapis they acted very much like mean lapis and nice lapis from the show very snide with lots of high school mean girl energy
but after he majorly screwed up on a terraform project he was sent to reeducation and when he returned they turned on him he became an outcast on the other side of the snide remarks
and because of that realization once he reformed he made a change to his form by adding a veil he tried to hide his face out of shame but he also had hope that if he tried to get back in to the group he would eventually be excepted back but no matter what he tried he messed it up
After three major failures the empire had given up on him and he was to be harvested but fortunately that was where he met a captured rebel martyn who he bonded with
While they were waiting to be harvested they joked around and martyn made a joke about jimmy but to jimmy’s suprice he was not hurt by it because it didn’t feel malicious and like he was excluded
he found he liked being the butt of the joke and opened up so when other rebels came for martyn Jimmy was offered a place on the team
Cut to current day and he doesn’t have his memories so In order to jog his memory he needs to get a slice of humble pie which won’t be hard to pull off because he is naturally clumsy but it can only be done by grian
Because if he is humiliated by a gem he sees as bellow him then he will pretend he didn’t hear the comments but if it is by an equal or superior then he will move on to the vail stage
Then he will progress the veil stage and to get back his memories he needs to be put in a situation where he is emotional done and is with a gem lower on the totem pole that makes fun of him and he is ok with it
