Sometimes her scars look so absolutely intense. I can’t imagine how that must have felt as a kid. And how horrified Sigurd was when he found her. And how Svala probably found a way to keep her alive because ya know…. Isu memories and we all know she passed on said knowledge as best she could to Valka for her to care for wounds in the same way.
But anyway, that must have been a horrible, super traumatizing situation for Eivor and for her people seeing her so wounded. 😢

Rollo, the legendary Viking warrior, invaded France and laid siege to Paris more than once. In the end, the French made peace with him and he was allowed to start a dynasty in the area known as Normandy today.

someone probably said this before but siege of paris is a great DLC and, to me, feels the most like classic assassin's creed out of pretty much everything we got these past few years. The assassination events are fun and mechanics like the rebels are a cool throwback to the missions we had in brotherhood and revelations!! It really showcases the potential that Valhalla had as a game and how it kinda failed to meet it. It makes me a little bit sad to think abt it

Hello,
I am Heba, 23 years old, and Adam is my youngest brother, we are a family of 10 individuals, including parents and children, one of them is married and has a daughter. The fundraiser is my aunt who lives in Belgium.
Tumblr media
In the early days of the war, most family members were injured as we tried to escape the intense bombing that hit our area, which resulted in the destruction of our home and car.
The picture here shows the date and that people were appealing for us
Translation: "Urgent Appeal
The Maqadma family's house has been bombed, and currently, the family is stranded in Bodrum. There are injuries among them.
Their address is Al-Tawam, an extension of Al-Nasr Street, before Astro Supermarket. There is a laboratory for analysis at the head of a side street, a street near Al-Tawam Pharmacy.
Their contact number
00972595690008
Help us spread it"
Tumblr media
Thankfully, the injuries were minor to moderate, except for my father who suffers from significant damage to his hand and still needs an urgent procedure that can’t be done in Gaza.
Tumblr media
My niece, Sara, who is a year and three months old, was injured in the head and hand.
Tumblr media
My youngest brother, Adam, who suffers from cerebral palsy (we face difficulty in obtaining his chronic medications in Gaza), sustained minor injuries.
Tumblr media
We were transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital and stayed there for a month before evacuating to Khan Yunis and later to Rafah in search of a safe place.
Our family is in pursuit of stability, striving to rebuild a new life amidst the ruins. The destruction has also impacted our family's means of livelihood, which gave us no other choice but to evacuate from Gaza. Your assistance is sincerely appreciated as we want to stay save and save our lives.
Why do we need this money and how will it be used:
Passing Rafah Border: 5000 for each person to pass Rafah border, which we will pay them for Ya Hala company: 10x5000= 50000
My father's treatment: My father needs around 5000 for surgeries, treatment, and physical therapy, he needs neurological surgery and cosmetic surgery, which will be made in Egypt.
Adam's treatment: 5000 Adam needs physical therapy because his condition got worsen due to lack of therapy during war, a new wheelchair, and doctor appointments.
If you have any questions you can DM on:
Instagram: hebaingaza
Whatsapp: +970595690007
You can find my detailed story here https://docs.google.com/document/d/10d9tlgIDVIqv2wyLP6gL7qj1PyLBIN-x2duDKAA8Ez0/edit?usp=sharing
Thank you for your time,
Heba

Talking to a non-french about current events in France: Oh yeah, right now the french farmers are very unhappy about some laws and taxes, so they're protesting by doing a... what's the word for this in english? Oh! A siege. Yes, they're sieging Paris.
Them: I— It's... I don't think that's the right word. A siege is like, an army surrounding a castle or a city.
Me: Yeah yeah, that's it! They cut any access to the biggest highways around Paris with tractors and haystacks. I think they also intercepted some trucks with farm products from other countries and gave the products to charity, so they could protest against their work conditions and how little they're being paid.
Them: Oh my god! Is this a civil war?
Me: What? Of course not!
[confused silence]

DEAN It's just that this is our first real case, back at it together. You know, I, I think we oughta ease into it, put the training wheels back on.
SAM So you think I need training wheels.
DEAN No, 'we'. 'We' need training wheels, you and me. As a team. Okay?
SAM Okay.
DEAN Man, I really want this to be a fresh start, you know? For the both of us.

supernatural s5e5 fallen idols (w. julie siege)
reserve the right to cringe later but this isn't as bad as i was expecting, knowing it was an episode featuring paris hilton. as paris hilton (sort of). in fact it's been kinda cute.
getting lincoln vs the zombies vibes
Tumblr media
OWNER Well, for one, that's Honest Abe's real hat.
SAM It is?
DEAN Almost like his remains.
DEAN looks pointedly at SAM. The OWNER frowns.
Tumblr media
the owner dude's vaguely disgusted "ehh" made me cackle. well played, sir. he made the most of this part for sure.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
two laptops now huh, and with matching backgrounds. cute
DEAN You ain't steering this boat. Let's go, chop chop.
SAM You know, this isn't gonna work.
DEAN What isn't?
SAM Us. You, me, together, I—I thought it could, but it can't.
DEAN You're the one that wanted back in, chief.
SAM And you're the one who called me back in.
DEAN I still think we got some trust building to do.
SAM How long am I gonna be on double-secret probation?
DEAN Till I say so.
SAM Look. I know what I did. What I've done. And I am trying to climb out of that hole, I am, but you're not making it any easier.
DEAN So what am I supposed to do, just let you off the hook?
SAM No. You can think whatever you want. I deserve it, and worse. Hell, you'll never punish me as much as I'm punishing myself, but the point is, if we're gonna be a team, you and I—it has to be a two-way street.
DEAN So we just go back to the way we were before?
SAM No, because we were never that way before. Before didn't work.
SAM How do you think we got here?
DEAN What's that supposed to mean?
SAM Dean, one of the reasons I went off with Ruby...was to get away from you.
DEAN What?
SAM It made me feel strong. Like I wasn't your kid brother.
DEAN Are you saying this is my fault?
SAM No, it's my fault. All I'm saying is that, if we're gonna do this, we have to do it different, we can't just fall into the same rut.
DEAN What do you want me to do?
SAM You're gonna have to let me grow up, for starters.
ouch. good on sam for standing up for himself. i don't... really remember that dynamic being so black and white back then, but there's so many episodes and so much happening who knows.
Tumblr media
pleasantly surprised how they did this, and how she played it. kind of poking fun at herself but nothing over the top.
something that bugs me, but also i understand, but continues to bug me is how everyone is placing the blame on sam for starting the apocalypse. he played a part, that he was manipulated and tricked into, and the powers that be wanted it to happen and didn't do anything to stop it. if we're gonna place the blame on sam like this, then it should equally placed on dean for breaking the first seal. i don't think either is fair. it was a systemic thing that lead to those events coming to pass, the individuals being forced into playing certain parts. anyway. it feels like every turn it's like well SOMEONE STARTED THE APOCALYPSE and yeah, okay, but also, no. :p
LESHI And this belonged to him. Didn't it? Poor little Dean. All you ever wanted was to be loved by your idol. One distant father figure, coming right up.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
SAM Dude. You just got whaled on by Paris Hilton!
love how gleeful he is to tell him. that's the little brother energy we know and love.
Tumblr media
DEAN Hey, listen, I was thinking about what you said yesterday. About me keeping too tight of a leash on you. Hell, maybe you're right. I mean, look, I'm not exactly Mister Innocent in this whole mess either, you know. I did break the first seal.
SAM You didn't know.
DEAN Yeah, well, neither did you.
DEAN I'm not saying demon blood was a great way to go, but, you did kill Lilith.
SAM And start the apocalypse.
DEAN Which neither of us saw coming, I mean, who'd have thought killing Lilith would've been a bad thing?
DEAN Point is, I was so worried about watching your every move that I didn't see what it was actually doing to you. So, for that I'm sorry.
ha! great minds. that's so funny. thank you, julie siege. this is also the kind of addressing issues that grabbed me by the throat with this show to begin with.
that little coming up in the season preview montage looks like there's plenty of cringe-worthy episodes to come, yikes.
