So True My Brother, Go Off My Friend

If even after all of this, after all the evidence that what Israel is doing and has done shouldn't be supported by anyone who's sane, you STILL think anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism, then I don't know what to tell you except that you're just being willfully ignorant.

Israeli think tank lays out a blueprint for the complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza

An Israeli think tank with ties to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a report on October 17 promoting the “unique and rare op

In short, there is an Israeli plan to completely ethnically cleanse Gaza by forcing its people to flee to the Sinai Desert, giving Israel access to a gas basin in northern Gaza (the Israeli army has been forcing Gazans to flee the northern part of their city). According to Hassan Fadlallah, the plan was going to be carried out in November of this year. So Operation Al Aqsa Flood was a preemptive attack to prevent this.

I'm sorry but 'Is the universe trying to tell me I'm transgender or am I stupid' is such a funny line

Maybe I'm stupid but I genuinely don't know the difference between evolving an eevee into an espeon/umbreon and evolving them into a sylveon. They're both based on friendship and affection right? I've tried to get an umbreon twice times in my training career and I ended up with two sylveons. is the universe trying to tell me i'm transgender or am i stupid

this is a pretty common confusion with the whole "friendship versus affection" business, but it's really simple.

you get an espeon or an umbreon if you've spent a lot of time traveling and growing emotionally with your eevee and they trust you in completion. you get a sylveon if you spoil them silly

10,022 isn't even the real death toll. It's worse. Much much worse.

They only count the dead bodies. There are still many more buried under the rubbles.

There are many more who were torn into too many pieces to count.

And the tens of thousands more fatally injuried who are hanging to life by a thread which Israel is trying to cut by cutting off electricity, water, food, and any essential medical supplies

We have confirmation from Gazans that the certified number is just a fraction from what will be in the end, even if they ceased the genocide today.

And they didn't stop. They didn't slow down.

The genocide is getting worse

On the topic of Power-Ups, let's talk Fire Flower (personal headcanons under cut)!

The Fire Flower is one of, if not, the most known Power-Up from what I've seen. Even though I'm quite a fan of it myself I'll admit I never thought too much about it. So after giving it a good thought here's what I got:

General headcanons;

Fire Flowers are very adaptable plants, however they naturally originate from the Darklands, which so happen to be where they grow the most. The heat eminating from the magma is perfect for their growth. Since wielding fire isn't too rare of an ability for Koopas they're mostly perceived as weeds, so it's not much of an issue if someone plucks them. Unless you're an outsider. Something might be considered useless but it's a problem if the enemy wants to exploit it. Because of this some of the main fields will have patrols just in case a mustachioed human, or two, happen to be sent to collect a supply. They usually consist of Fire Bros who protect and even tend to the flowers. Rumours say that with some luck it's possible for a normal Koopa to inherit fire abilities after being exposed to a Fire Flower for extended periods of time but it hasn't been scientifically confirmed.

The Fire Flower is a multiple use Power-Up. Once activated it lends it's energy to a single user, then proceeds to hibernate and slowly regain heat overtime. The process can be sped up exponentially by placing the flower near a heat source like lava or a fireplace.

Mario and Luigi specific headcanons;

It took some time for the brothers to initially get hang of releasing energy without overdoing it. It's easier to ignite something, rather than put it out. Eventually with some guidance from friendly koopas they managed to become respectable fire users. That is until the events of Superstar Saga happened.

For Mario, getting the Firebrand only enhanced his abilities. Focusing energy became very easy, a second nature even. Shaping fire, directing it, managing it's temperature. Easy peasy for a guy like him! It wasn't a suprise that the Fire Flower quickly became his favourite to use soon after. When used with the technique he can truly show off his mastery over the element!

Luigi however... got it rough. The Thunderhand, notable for giving it's user affinity for manipulating electricy, drastically reverted his progress. These two elements just unfortunately don't mix. The fire he started to produce was unpredictable and unstable. There was no guarantee if it'll fly in the right direction nor how much power it'll pack. He's been practicing ever since to not accidentally go overboard.

Mario's fire tips and tricks aren't helping too much but at least he's trying.

In conclusion the Fire Flower is one of the more reliable, common and useful Power-Ups. Getting a good amount of them can be a hassle but in the long run it's worth it especially if they're used to make your own farm. It's uses can range from warming up the house to battling evil. Mario is the "fire master" of the group and Luigi, with the peculiar way magic reacts to him, is a walking proof of the statement: "elements don't mix".

Some of the stuff I said here could change with me adding details in the future but right now this is the general idea. It might not be completely original but the thought of making this seemed fun. Thank you to whoever read this, I hope the blocks of text were understandable!

Fuck Israel
