unfortunately, the world isn't like a fairytale.

theme 004 ✨ revamped ✨ : live preview / static preview / code

here’s the revamp of my old twitter inspired theme (which I desperately hope no one ever used) [sweats] i think this one came out rly cute? it’s nothing special really but it’s cute alright!

features : captions on top! (works for the most part but if you’re a beta tester and make posts through the *new post editor* (for whatever reason. don’t do that), the output might be wonky. still alright but wonky.) big header image! full tags, single-line tags, or no tags!

notes : you may change the little icons in the bio yourself by visiting feathericons.com and copying the name of the icon you’d like to use. then just paste the name in the theme options where it says ‘bio item # icon’ and you’re done!

….

Penny wasn’t exactly certain why this particular green plant was supposed to spontaneously solicit the touching of lips. She also wasn’t sure what was so agreeable about that, but she knew she wanted it.

However, she didn’t want it from just anyone. She wanted it from the person that was supposed to walk through the door in approximately four minutes and seven seconds.

Four minutes, six seconds now, if Ruby didn’t want to be late for her meeting with General Ironwood. The mistletoe was hanging above the door and according to her research she would have to be standing under it at the exact same time. It shouldn’t be too difficult to execute, four minutes exactly now.

Over the next few minutes, Penny thought about the results of this endeavor. What would it be like to kiss Ruby? She had never kissed anyone before, never wanted to. It was a rather strange compulsion when considered. A kind of want without any evidence it would even be agreeable. Three minutes, two sec-

“Hi, Penny. What are you doing here?”

The door had opened ahead of schedule and Ruby stood, right under the mistletoe.

“Ruby!” Penny rushed forward. She wasn’t quite prepared but she needed to get under the door if the plan was to go off without a hitch. “I wish to facilitate a holiday tradition.”

Ruby raised her eyebrow. “What?”

Penny pointed up.

There followed a series of micro expressions from Ruby. At first confusion, then a small smile and soon a chuckle. “Penny, why have you hung parsley above our door?”

Penny tilted her head before scratching it. “That’s not mistletoe?”

Ruby laughed with a snort. “No, it’s not. It’s parsley, you know? For eating.”

“So not for kissing?” Penny replied. “I seem to have made a small error. Please allow me a moment to correct it.”

Penny reached up to remove the parsley but was stopped when Ruby grabbed her arm.

“Nah.” She said with a smile. “Let’s just pretend it’s mistletoe.”

“But it’s not,” Penny replied, a little confused. “It would not take me long to correct this error and retrieve the correct plant. I will-Mmm!”

Before she could complete the thought, Ruby kissed her.

Ruby’s lips were indeed as soft as she had suspected. She had a gentle scent, sweet and pleasing to the senses. A warmth radiated from touch when her hand gently caressed her cheek. Penny didn’t wonder any longer why she wanted this so much. It didn’t matter anymore.

When Ruby pulled back it was far too soon for her liking and she sighed a little.

“Further speculation is no longer required,” Penny said, smiling. “I enjoyed that very much.”

Ruby chuckled a little breathlessly. “Yeah me too. Wanna do it again?”

Penny didn’t need even a second to think about that. She grinned and nodded enthusiastically.

“Great!” Ruby said, smirking a little. “Another kiss under the parsley.”

Alright. Thanks for coming to me with this because I hope I can make my answer as clear as possible and that it will reach as many people as possible. Anyone can reblog, anyone can share, however: do not derail the message of this post. I am here to lay it out plain and simple.

The assumption that we would let this reflect on an entire group of people is inherently faulty because Blacksun itself and its shippers were never the problem in the first place. I’m not sure where that narrative came from. Sure, the comment came from a Blacksun shipper and drew in Bumbleby shippers from its wording, but that was not the endgame problem. It drew in more than that. It drew in a lot of Jews and ethnic and otherwise Holocaust victims because it was anti-semitic.

Whether goyim want to admit it or not, anti-semetism is a huge problem, especially in America. It’s dangerous in the fact that it can be accidental or intentional, subtle or blatant, like all forms of violence and bigotry. I’ve seen surveys saying that crazy amounts of people in the USA hold anti-semetic views and it terrifies me, because even in my fairly liberal town, I deal with this all the time. I don’t know if I’m getting this across. People in my town don’t freak out about my temple getting bomb threats. That’s how normalized anti-semitism is. People don’t even know it happened.

Anyway, the comment that was made was anti-semitic in ways that I shouldn’t have to explain; it’s been covered. I’ve covered it. My friends have covered it. People I don’t know have covered it. I hope you can figure it out, otherwise there’s no point here.

My main main issue is that the anti-semitism is so normalized that it’s being swept under the table for our petty ship wars. This is not about Bumbleby or Blacksun. That is the issue. Why isn’t that able to be understood? This isn’t just about me and my Bumbleby-shipping friends getting upset, this about an entire religion and goyim who are righteously angered as well. The idea that I and many others are upset because our ship is being attacked is faulty. Our identities and validity are being attacked, which we have to go through so often. This was in such igorant taste, and it dragged in Jews, Romani, Queer Jews, Queer people, and so many more because we were offended by the bigotry, not the ships.

The fact that ships are being brought into this, what with “not ALL of you deserve to be compared to Nazis,” is messed up. We are a diverse group so of course many of us are going to be deeply offended. Because of our identities. Not what we ship.

Yes, I know I’m young. I’m a teenager. It’s abnormal that I should have to explain this to people older than me. I’m also a Gay, Trans Jew. And I’m not going to play nice right now. I want to be blunt.

6 million of my people were not murdered to be reduced to a ship war.

That doesn’t even touch on the Romani people, disabled people, and more that were affected by the Holocaust.
