According to Belgian Minister of Development Cooperation and Urban Policy Caroline Gennez, Israeli forces killed a Belgian aid worker and his seven-year-old son in an attack in Rafah, southern Gaza.
“It is with great sadness that I was informed that last night one of our staff was killed by an Israeli bombardment,” Gennez wrote on X.
Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib has summoned Israel’s ambassador after an employee with the Belgian development agency Enabel and his son were killed in an Israeli strike on southern Gaza.
people who try to get more attention on their fandom posts by separately tagging all the main characters regardless of each character's presence in the post are my worst enemies. if i want general series posts i will go to the series tag so if you specifically promise me images of my specialest little guy and you are lying to me i will be very upset
can you imagine if manga series were as hard to follow as american superhero comics? like if they got rebooted and reinterpreted as often. some girl would be like ‘oh yeah i loved the run where naruto was a sweet teenage boy’ and some smug neckbeard would be like ‘no the series where he was a mysogynistic 30-something year old hitman with a coke addiction was the only true series’ and then everyone would be arguing over whether the crossover universe with bleach counted, and if so, which one.
people reading Toshiro as being repulsed by Laois and drawn to Falin and saying it's dumb af because they're both autistic but he's doing the autistic men - annoying autistic women - manic pixie dream girl are ignoring several things but the biggest thing for me is
Laois and Falin are both autism coded but the way they behave, especially towards Toshiro, is radically different. Most obvious example that we see time and time again is Laois blatant disrespect of Toshiro's personal space. He is constantly right there, in his face, touching him, taking every minute of his time while Toshiro, having grown up in a very different sort of world with very different social cues that Laois would not be aware of, is fucking dying because, as he says, he knows Laois is being totally sincere in his actions and Toshiro would appear and feel like an asshole if he was blunt with Laois!
Falin, notably, doesn't do this! Toshiro is seen interacting with Falin several times (including having these hangouts interrupted by Laois), but she doesn't push into his space and demand physical intimacy the way that Laois does.
I desperately need dunmeshi fans to get their heads out of their asses about Shuro and remember that this man is from a completely different culture than the Toudens and everyone else and has different societal rules and cultural norms that basically handicap him in awkward situations like most of the interactions we see from his and Laois's past. I also need people to fucking recognize that Laois and Falin are very similar and very neurodivergent but their behavior towards Toshiro in particular is very different and Shuro is drawn towards the sibling who doesn't constantly make him uncomfortable in a way Shuro feels he can't call out.
And you're allowed to ship Falin and Marcille without fucking demonizing the man who fell in love with her weird and gentle nature!
