Probably psychotic

But okay, if you're so adamant to protect your islam, that's your choice and none of my business. If that's the case though, then at least stop assuming to know the horrific nightmare that is IRGC's islam. Stop protecting what you don't know. You're sitting in another country with all your rights preserved and presume you know the rules we are forced to live by and deem it fair? Did you know islamic republic's founder wrote that it'd be okay to sexually enjoy touching a freaking baby, an infant? Did you know that if we eat or drink something in public in Ramadan we can be arrested and whipped for it? Do you know what they do to women if they don't have the mandatory hijab? Did you know the only reason we can show our hair these days without being shoved into a fucking van is because of the woman life freedom movement and what happened to Mahsa Amini? Did you know homosexuality is a sin here and punishable by death? (As it is everywhere in islamic countries) Have you ever walked in your streets on a normal day while forced to look at irgc men holding guns every fucking where?

Are you assuming I'm lying or exaggerating? Are you still close minded and refuse to change your mind? Then please just block me because I'm sick and tired of not being believed about something I'm actively living in. And resume your free palestine movements but stop harassing Persians who are practicing their own freedom of speech by protesting and speaking against the regime. (And I'm not gonna comment on the free palestine movement because I know I'm not informed enough to express my opinion about it. I have ideas of course, most of which many won't like. But am I gonna say them as soon as they're formed in my mind? No. I'm human enough to admit that. Are you? I don't think you are because most of the abuse persians are facing these days comes directly from pro palestinians. Is it because we didn't blame or opposed it when israel started a war with IRGC? Because in your minds the state that stands opposite israel must be the innocent underdog that needs to be made into a hero? Or is it because islamic republic is the only thing you know that has chanted again and again for decades ‘death to Israel’? (Along with of course ‘death to America’ and ‘death to England’ and ‘death to dissenters’ (there goes that freedom)) Almost like a formula that you can apply to everything. Sadly that's not how the world works.)

I've said this before and I'll say it again: if you prefer to undermine one massacre, one tragic event and truth, just to keep another one (yours) in the light then you should know something isn't right, that that is not humanity! You don't shoot down the blood of tens of thousands in another country just because you're afraid people would forget about you. You SHARE the fucking spotlight with your fellow humans.

A short snippet:

Billy seemed to have sensed Peter’s gaze, which was probably why an amused smile appeared on his lips. “Yes, Peter. I have more than one overcoat.”

Peter found himself hurriedly explaining, “I meant to bring it but I had to come here straight from my aunt’s place and it was totally unplanned so I didn’t have it on me at work and I couldn’t drop by my apartment because then I would’ve been late and–”

Thankfully Curtis interrupted him before he could hyperventilate.

“Wow. I did not know you had the same effect on guys, Billy.”

Okay, maybe not so thankful then.

The interrupted ramble morphed into a series of coughs as Billy let out a surprised laugh at Curtis’s remark.

“Oh this is not my effect, believe me.” Billy explained mid laughter, one of his hands finding its way onto Peter’s back to help with the cough. “It’s part of his charm.”

By then, Peter had calmed down and was glad that his already red face was masking the blushing.

“Yeah, just classic Peter.” He finally said, voice strained from the cough and glancing up at Curtis’s bemused expression.

Billy’s hand was gone before Peter could even digest what had happened. And it was fine because this was meant to be an interview and so far all Peter had done was embarrass himself.

Curtis shrugged and handed them their paper cups of coffee as he sat down.

Also below are one-sentenced updates and facts that didn't have an outlet for fucking months:

Project Hail Mary was a work of art

Abaddon (Haunted Hotel)

Young Sherlock (Donal Finn)

Sid and Bronco were totally banging and deserve more attention (In the Grey)

I regret not starting The Owl House sooner

Duet of Shadows does not have enough fanbase or fanfic

The Little Drummer Girl is such a beautiful underrated show (i.e. Alexander Skarsgard and Florence Pugh)

I pray earnestly to God that this will work.

This was asked in February. I have no idea what was happening back then. Time has been kinda merged together and warped since January. But today, May 9th, we don't have access to the internet, no. Only national heavily blocked and censored internet that is monitored. The regime have made the internet hierarchical, made it available to a select few to advertise their propaganda for them. The rest of us get barely and very temporarily connected by combining weird complicated ways like using configs and using vpns at the same time. Most of the time that doesn't work either so we have to illegally buy international internet from those who are illegally getting past the firewalls or whatever and are selling it to us ordinary people. I'm probably using up the last of my internet to write this.

What's going on? After an almost two months of war, and the elimination of many political and IRGC figureheads which we are all very thankful for, the ceasefire happened and it's literally like time froze. Like everything changed and nothing changed.

(Let me get one thing clear for anyone reading this who's empathizing with IR simply because they were the target of Trump and Netanyahu, anyone who sees things so foolishly black and white from the comfort of their free world. We are under no illusion that they must've been saints to help us. No, this is real life and there is no such a thing as saints. And let's be honest, no saint would've dirtied their hand like this anyway. But a necessary evil would. And those two, whether we like it or not, were our necessary evil. Yes of course we don't agree with them on so many levels, of course we don't condone any of their actions that has been against human rights. However, they've delivered. They actually succeeded in killing Khamenei, the dictator of Islamic Republic. They've rid us from the murderer tyrant, something we never could've done on our own. You need to remember that just because it's Israel attacking doesn't mean the other side is automatically innocent. There's such a thing as more than one evil existing in the world. Open your goddamn minds people. If you think otherwise then you've never lived in such a desperate tragic reality. And I know the war had casualties, but they were minor and mostly the regime's. And the school tragedy is not something we take lightly either but when you're standing where we are, you know that that's also IRGC's fault. The blood of those kids is on their hands. Did you know the regime purposefully launched its missiles from public places like schools so that when the other side had to retaliate they had to track and target where it was shot from, not anticipating such a dirty move from the IR regime? But we did. We know their corruption to its root. So can you blame us for having needed outside help, even if it wasn't genuine, after being oppressed for 47 years under a bloodthirsty regime? Can you blame us when you know we have nothing to defend ourselves with against IRGC? You think there's been a night that we went to sleep with dry eyes in the past few months? You, whoever you are who disagree, might have the luxury to choose your savior. We don't.)

So what's going on now is IR political figureheads (yes these bastards are like fucking malignant cancer, they grow back) are lying their ass off about everything to keep the loyalty of their apologists. Iran's national tv has turned into an even bigger propaganda machine that sees its people as sheep ready to be slaughtered for the “noble” goal of keeping the islamic revolution alive. And that's no exaggeration, IR has declared many times that their goal is preserving islam and not its people.

At nights, they gather a hundred or so of their supporters and apologists (or those who can be bought with money) in the streets and squares and start chanting 'death to America' and 'death to israel' and how they're undefeatable. Around them are plainclothed men, some with their faces covered, and they're all holding guns, looking around menacingly. Since there's no “enemy” outside, we know they're holding weapons to kill us again if necessary. They gave guns to teenagers who can't even handle the thing. And we have to walk the streets without showing fear and rage and tears.

We're empty handed, we can't fight. And we can't live either. The economy is shit. Everything is too expensive, and I mean impossibly expensive. We can't make ends meet. It's breaking people.

They're also executing all the innocent people they managed to arrest in January in total internet blackout and there's no one who cares outside.

And I have no idea if it will work. You can kill the man, but you can't destroy a sick rotten ideology that permits you to slaughter people if they disagreed with you. That's the problem.

And that's it.

Regime's efforts to normalize things is still ongoing. Internet is heavily blocked and we're barely getting connected by vpns and wills of steel. The number of deaths is still increasing (and here I have a word with those of you who think the sheer number of those who were killed is so much that it can't possibly be true. I envy the world you live in, a world in which the government/the system doesn't open fire on its people and choose to instead listen to them. That's not our reality unfortunately. Just because you can't fathom the number doesn't mean it didn't happen. Just because it happened by the hands of hamas supporters and zionist haters doesn't make it automatically false. I envy the simple world you live in. There's more to right and wrong than that and if those two are your only factors, then something is definitely wrong with you.) And the so called peace talks between Iran and America (which was not even face to face) is a slap in the face of all of us who are grieving the loss of so many, trying to live with a survival guilt so terrible that makes breathing bitter. If they come to an agreement, they're just granting IR permission to keep lording over its people. The message would be loud and clear: you're free to oppress your people as long as you don't make atomic bombs and aim it at us. But we don't want a nuclear deal. We don't want peace talks. That's like prescribing antibiotics for cancer, it's useless and fucking stupid. What we want is for this regime to go away permanently, for things to change. If America attacking Iran is the way to achieve that, then so be it. Last month proved that IR will do whatever it takes and kill as many as needed to stay in power. We know we can't change things with our bare hands. We know we need outside help. And yes, we know the risks. We know! So imagine how horrible things must be that we are wishing for a fucking war.

You've let them spread their insulting lies.

You've believed them.

In the past week, at least 17000 (UPDATE: now estimated to be at least 35000) people were murdered and shot in cold blood in the streets of Iran. These people were unarmed, most of them were teenagers. What was their crime? Protesting. Standing up against their oppressive dictator regime. Almost immediately from 8th of January they cut us off from internet. Complete blackout. We couldn't even text each other, we couldn't call each other. People couldn't call for an ambulance when they saw their friends and family getting shot. The IRG wouldn't let anyone help those that were dying. Now they've taken the bodies hostage, either demanding money before handing them back to their family or harassing the family to bury them at dawn so no one can gather. Thousands have lost their sight. Thousands are in custody and the regime does not need legal reasons for executing them.

The Islamic republic officials have made up different stories about this. First they said all those who protested were terrorists funded by America or Israel. Then they said thousands were killed by ISIS, not them. Now they blame every western power for everything that happened. Not one admits to what actually happened. They see themselves as God, whoever disagrees with them is not a human and must die. This is not an exaggeration.

It's been a week since the bloodbath. All the cities are in martial law. You're not allowed to go out at night, they will either shoot you, arrest you, or confiscate your phone.

The fight is still on.

Speaking up for Iran does not negate or contradict all your efforts for Gaza. It's the same thing. It's standing up for human rights. Oh, one is supporting muslims and the other is against islam so they must be opposing matters? No. The world is not clear cut black and white. Supporting people of Gaza doesn't mean that if you speak against islamic extremists you would automatically be speaking against Gaza. Supporting Iranian people who are tired of being oppressed under the rule of islamic republic doesn't mean you're betraying Gaza or supporting Netanyahu's horrific actions. You can be happy that Venezuelans are rid of their dictator president and worry about US taking advantage of the country at the same time. If Trump and people like him tweet about supporting Iranian people, that doesn't discredit our revolution. It just means certain powerful people want to exploit the situation, as always. (And you know what, we're fighting with bare hands so we take any help we can get. If Trump offers to take out the dictator we will take it. We have no other choice if everyone decides to keep silent just because the situation is complicated!) I truly wish everything was as simple as you think. But you know, you know life is never as straightforward as that. You can stand up for the right of Persians to wish and fight this bloodthirsty regime gone while supporting people of Gaza that are being killed, while also speaking against the atrocities that Hamas is committing.

Religion is a weapon, it's what you do with it that determines if you're good or bad, not the weapon itself.

Supporting what is right doesn't always look the same. It's not always taking the same route. You should know that.
