קבעו לי מבחן במתמטיקה על פורים. על היום של התחפושות והעדלאידע וכל זה. בשישי! אין לי בכלל בית ספר בשישי! אם אתם רואים בעיתון שמורה למתמטיקה נרצחה, אתם לא יודעים כלום
I was sad because I finished watching daredevil: born again and read almost all the fanfiction (you do not understand. If a fic is good, and isn't frank/matt or another ship I dislike, I read it. If a fic is bad, I probably read half of it.) but then I remembered I can read the comics. I have so much daredevil to read. So much of this stupid man who makes bad decisions but is so complicated. Yes it is stupid that you aren't telling your girlfriend that you are daredevil after all the things that happened with Foggy and Karen, but I get why he does that. Incredible.
Me'orot is actually a sci-fi convention! It is also an Aguda con. They Also have Dorot which is in Heifa and is at the same time as Harucon so it's less popular. I never been to one of their conventions, but Bein Hashurot are trying to follow Noar Kore's footsteps, so they might be worth checking out. Also, about the animusicals, you can find many of them on Youtube. And the Sushi's free and Janken musical both have English subtitles, but there are many others avalible in Hebrew. I really recommend volunteering in the convention - I volunteered in about 6 cons and it's very fun to help the fandom community, meet new people, and help make the conventions
Hi. Can you share a cool fact about Israel? How's the fan culture over there? You guys got conventions? 👀
BOY DO WE
There are 4 big conventions in Israel, run by two organisations- the Israeli Society For Science Fiction and Fantasy(known shortly as "Ha'Aguda), and AMAI, the Israeli Manga and Anime Organization.
The Aguda's conventions are the biggest and most well-known. There's Icon during Sukkot and Olamot("worlds") during Passover, and both are always in Tel Aviv. Those are the comic-con of Israel- they have everything geeky and fanish, from every type of media. They last 2-3 days, and are free to enter but you have to pay to go into specific events. Those are my favorites!
AMAI's conventions are centered around Japanese media and culture. There are also two- Harucon at Purim(the closest con), and Animatsuri at the summer. Those cons costs money to enter, but once you're inside you can go anywhere as long as there are free seats. Those cons are in Jerusalem, and are very big. They also sometimes include a run of an Animusical(anime-inspired original musical production done by members of the community)
Other then those 4, we have lots of smaller cons done by different organizations and for different specific topics- there's Meorot which is a Harry Potter and LOTR con set during Hannukah, the Aguda also has Mitopia in the summer, that's centered specifically around books, and there's Draconicon for DND and RPG players! And a lot more! Last year I also had the chance to go to the first Sha'atnez, a con surrounding specifically Jewish Fantasy and Fantastic Judaism. It was fantastic and I REALLY hope it'll be an annual thing.
Interesting thing about fan culture here- the main two groups involved in it are queers, and religious orthodox jews. Both are in the fannish scene in much larger percantages then they make of the general population! I suspect the religious thing is because Shabbat-keepers have a lot of time when all they can do is read, and queers are already very dominant in such communities, but it's still very cool I think:)
Anyway fun fact, I've been in the artist alley for... 6-7 cons up untill now? My favorite to sell in was Noar Kore which sadly does not exist anymore but I REALLY like doing those booths.
Me,non Christian: *getting out the popcorn*
I was raised protestant, and I have actually never met a catholic person in real life. Probably seen them on the street while travelling, but never had an actual conversation with one. Most of what I know about them is that they got custody of all the cool art in the divorce.
אני רואה אקס מן וזה ממש לא ראליסטי שמגנטו לא עלה לארץ. הוא כל הזמן מדבר על איך שהמוטנטים (שזה מטאפורה ליהודים) צריכים להתאחד וזה ממש. מדינת ישראל. אתה ניצול שואה. למה אתה גר באמריקה? ואפילו כשהוא בורח מאמריקה הוא בורח לפולין. אני מבינה שהוא מדבר פולנית אבל ישראל! מדינת היהודים! למה הוא לא חי שם?
בנוסף באחד הסרטים יש חנוכיה עם 7 קנים (כמו מנורה) + מדליקים את זה מנר נוסף (כמו שמש). מארוול לא יכלו לשלם ליהודי אחד לראות את הסרט? באמת?
This is what happened to me!!! And my friends now think I have no taste in TV and refuse to listen to my opinions about it
this is how i imagine showing doctor who to any of my friends:
*trash can eats a person and burps*
friend: i thought that this show is beautiful and changed you fundamentally as a person?
me: bro i swear it gets better
*skin pancake plays toxic*
it's sad to see that the side characters lack depth and storytelling in this show. muse was wasted badly. heather could've talked muse out of that but instead she said he was a coward. cherry and kirsten don't interest me at all. buck ain't a wesley but he kinda did grow on me with that last scene. daniel did also grow on me after he threatened the girl bc we realize that maybe he's not the guy to mess with. tbh i have mixed feelings about this show now.
People who think the palestinians are a minority in the levant region just bc there are 2 million people in gaza are the pinnacle of idiocy. Yes there are 2 million "palestinians" in gaza, but there are also 3 million in the west bank and 2 million who are israeli citizens, not to mention the 3 millions in jordan, around 400,000 in lebanon and 270,000 in egypt(that have a lot of segregation laws that for some reason no one talks about).
The world's view on jews, israel, canaan and levant is just so... American. Their white guilt is SO heavy they want to paint the WHOLE world with THEIR problems to the point they rewrite history and the lives in the middle east, worsening the situations here and then blame USA.
No, you are part of the problem, not only the government
כשהייתי בחטיבה נסעתי לקאמפ אמריקאי ונדהמתי לגלות שלא הייתה חובה להיות עם כובע או קרם הגנה, כל יום בצהריים הלכנו לבריכה בשמש, וחצי מהבנות שהיו איתי בחדר נשרפו כל כך שהן לא יכלו לישון וכל העור שלהן התקלף. וזה היה במקום שלא היה בו המון שמש (ירד גשם!!! באוגוסט!!!) פשוט היינו בחוץ כל היום. אז אני חושבת שבסך הכול התוכנית הזאת והחינוך להגנה בשמש בארץ טוב
I bet octopuses think bones are horrific. I bet all their cosmic horror stories involve rigid-limbs and hinged joints.
