These two kids are Hamza (the oldest) and Qusai (the youngest).

Their mother shares this video and bids them goodbye. They were both killed by Israeli bombardment 5 days ago. She says:

[Two days before Hamza and Qusai were killed, hamza asked me: "mom, when we die, where will I go?" And I told him: "you will be a bird in heaven, my love." He said: "and Qusai?" "Just like you inshallah."

And indeed, two days later, he left and took his brother with him. It's like he was preparing me for saying goodbye to both of them. Heaven is more beautiful than any place on this Earth, habibi. We will meet and be reunited one day, me, your dad and you two].

Our kids don't deserve to die already thinking about what will happen to them, they don't deserve to die already terrified, anticipating their death because the world failed them and decided their lives mean nothing. We are not numbers. Remember their names and their stories.

Self reflecting recently. Cried a lot 🤙 but u must be stupid if u think I'm not gonna improve and grow as a person. U must be dumb-diddy-dumb if u think I'm just gonna push my childhood trauma in the back and ignore it. No sir no ma'am.

I’m not sure when exactly this happened, but I think it’s clear that the aro community really is a community, now.

For the longest time I’ve felt like we were still in stasis, not quite there; a proto-community, yes, but not quite a community. But we have more history now to lean back on, more of each other to talk to and laugh with and cry with and learn from. More people that’ll go forward and make a part of modern aro history. More people that believe us, believe in us, will stand with us if we ask them.

I wouldn’t consider myself an aro elder yet, though each year I’m surprised at how long aromanticism has been a part of my life, how long I’ve been free of doubt or insecurity about my aromanticism, how far we’ve come since I was questioning. Then again, when I was questioning, some of the people I looked up to for guidance were probably close to the age I am now, so I might be there sooner than I think.

And, I’m so so hopeful for all aros, young or old, new or not, because we’ve come so far. Day by day, progress is slow (and yes, it’s unfair, it should be so much faster), but looking back it feels fast. We are our own role models, the people we look up to for guidance. We carve our own path through life, making things up as we go. I used to find that terrifying, because I had no idea what the future would bring. But it’s actually amazing, because I can ignore all these silly “rules” and guidelines about what my life should be, and instead ask, “what do I want my life to be?”

Younger me, you have no idea how awesome your future is gonna be. I’m sorry about the pain and hardship you’ll go through first; it won’t be fair and you shouldn’t have to deal with it. But you’ll make it through, and one day you’ll be me. I can’t wait for you to get here.

#aromantic #aro #aspec #queer #lgbtq #original #text #can't believe i was busy on a day when aromantic got super trending #also on the topic of history: history is super important and we should make sure we're good custodians of it! #make backups of your tumblr blogs/wordpress sites/fanfiction/analytical essays/whatever! #save links into the internet archive/wayback machine! #future aros will thank us for every thing we save from link rot #current aros will thank us for keeping our resources alive and accessible

Riordan: And the grand lesson that Percy needed to learn over the course of hoo, the culmination of his character arc of this series, the moment where the fate of the world hangs in the balance because of a single decision he has to make... is realizing when he needs to take a step back :)

Me:

#corny lame booo tomato tomato im throwing tomatoes !!!! #Riordan im foaming at the mouth #percy be the hero but dont be the hero #percy you HAVE to be a part of the seven or else the gods will perish #but also why don't you let the other kids have a turn saving the world huh :/ #percy you're one of the most powerful demigods ever (if not the most powerful one currently alive) #you alone hold the title Savior of Olympus #but for some inane reason only three of the SEVEN prophesied demigods can fight Gaea and if you try to help #you'll destroy the world apparently so why don't you sit this one out champ :) #... percy baby you don't deserve any of this im so sorry #also the way his fatal flaw could have been utilized SO MUCH BETTER what a WASTE #mine #pjo #percy jackson #anti hoo

Dc x dp idea: kill yourself

Listen, I firmly believe that Danny and any of the bats would flirt like fucked up little animals, disgusting little creatures.

I’m using Damian as an example because take a wild guess based on literally fucking anything I’ve ever posted on who my favourite is.

Danny, if ghosted for long enough, would probably just say kill yourself, not as in ‘go die whore’ but ‘let’s be immortalised together forever’. Even better if it’s ghost queen or king or whatever Danny because he’s basically just offering a green card to the afterlife and that funny as fuck.

And Damian would bring him skulls and poisonous mushrooms and keep several tabs on his location at all times and points because he is his mother’s son after all. He’d kill Freakshow or something and put a bunch of flowers into his hollowed out bones for decoration and hand it to him because love.

This doesn’t even have to be dc x dp, I just firmly believe that literally any of the characters from Batman or Danny Phantom would flirt like serial killers.

#is freakshow alive? #it’s been a hot minute since I’ve watched that episode #if not then it’s grave robbing I guess #dc #danny phantom #danny phantom crossover #dp x dc crossover #batman #writing prompts #dcxdp #Danny: kill yourself <3 #Damian who is currently mad at him: I’m going to find a way to become immortal

Katsuki: How?

Deku: I need someone to take the fall.

Todoroki: What did you do?

Aizawa, from the other room: What the hell!

Katsuki and Todoroki:

Aizawa: WHAT THE HELL?!?

Deku: Make it 5000?

Katsuki: Deal

Deku: *Gives him the money*

Aizawa, storming in: WHO DID THIS?!

Katsuki: It was Todoroki.

I am so sorry and sad to have woken up to this news, Hind's body was found alongside the two medics who went to rescue her, after 12 days.

Hind was killed. And Israel continues its crimes without consequences.

Spider plant report: After sulking listlessly all winter like a starving victorian child, Charlotte has suddenly realized it is spring, and she's getting very green and perky about it.

#concerned for her health #current events #the queen #uk politics #currently she seems to still be alive but her doctors are #and she wont leave balmoral so she can stay under their observation #so whilst shes likely been on palliative care for some time now #she seems to be on her last legs #also all the major royals are either already there or rushing to get there as soon as possible #shes absolutely on her deathbed

You know how there's a whole thing about how DC superheroes die and get brought back a lot? Well, for DPxDC, how about this?

Every time a Justice League member gets resurrected, their ghost remains in the Ghost Zone.

So you'll have a member of the Justice League bite the bullet for whatever reason, they'll form as a ghost in the Ghost Zone. They'll make themselves comfortable, maybe they'll even becoming defenders of peaceful ghosts who have no experience fighting or no desire to fight. Maybe they'll find dead family members and re-establish their bonds. Maybe they'll find other dead members of the Justice League and make and undead branch of the Justice League. Maybe they'll meet Danny and either help teach him how to be a hero (if he's still young) or become a hero group supported by him (if he becomes the king).

And then, for whatever reason, someone found the magical amulet that can revive a person, they somehow developed 1-Ups for a limited time, the revival machine finally got a tune up, the hero gets revived. But the ghost doesn't leave the Ghost Zone. Because of this, the revived hero doesn't have any memories of their time in the afterlife. The ghost probably doesn't even notice something changed and that their old body is up and running again.

This all ends up coming to a head when the GIW decide to push the manhunt for Danny Phantom and all other ghosts, lying to the Justice League in order to convince them to help. They eventually decide to hunt down Danny and corner him, ready to capture him...

… And suddenly he's saved by a bunch of ghosts that look identical to them.

#dp x dc #dpxdc #dc x dp #danny phantom #dp x dc prompt #justice league #If someone died multiple times either the ghost gains their current memories or another ghost is formed #I also imagine that if a ghost possessed their living counterpart they would essentially fuse together #Either they're fully alive and just regain their memories or they become half ghosts #I wonder if this makes the revived heroes clones of the original ones that died? #Lol if this is an AU where Superman hates Connor for being a clone and everyone comes to that conclusion that'd be so ironic #Hating the clone when you are a technically a clone yourself #If the Justice League is dumb you can make this like that Tumblr post where a zombie and ghost come from the same body #Only the ghosts just find their living bodies really dumb instead of being actually brainless #“Why are you hunting this child?” “What has he ever done?” “For the love of god please look into your claims!" #Maybe being revived and essentially having your soul be a copy has that effect #Villains probably also get the same treatment but their souls are treated with a little more scrutiny #If the Joker has ever had this happen to him his ghost was either imprisoned or made deader than dead for his crimes #Other villains might just retire especially if their crimes weren't severe

@thievinghippo told me to think about Astarion's parents for my last fic, and while I couldn't find a place in the narrative to fit in my musings, I now can't STOP thinking about his parents.

My guys, I think they adored him. I think he was the light of their eyes and he was charming and funny and genuinely happy, and I think he took being a magistrate really seriously and earnestly until it killed him. I think he wanted to make his parents proud and I think they were so, so proud of him right up to the moment he died, and I think that shattered them in a way they never recovered from.

And then I started thinking about how long elves live, and I wondered if maybe, many decades later, they might come back briefly through Baldur's Gate. I wondered if maybe Astarion's mom goes downstairs one night in some nice tavern and looks across the crowded room and sees her little boy sitting at the corner table with some stranger. Looking exactly like he did the day he died, of course, this living ghost, except his eyes are red now and his hair's bone white and when he laughs, it's cold and cruel and mocking. He was never cruel before.

I wondered if maybe she watches him for a while, that night and the next night and a few nights after that, and she sees the way there's no warmth behind the pretty smiles, no heart to any of the sweet seductions, nothing behind the eyes but a blank wall. I wondered if she thinks maybe about how he used to come running to her with a fistful of wildflowers when he was really little, or maybe when she used to comb out his curls for him every night at bedtime because his hair always got so tangled when he played outside, or maybe the first time she caught him as a young man kissing someone behind their home and he laughed and covered his face and blushed at the embarrassment. He never blushes now.

And then maybe, after a week or so, on their last night in the city, she casually tells her husband as they're getting ready for bed that she saw someone who looked like Astarion downstairs. Her husband gets really quiet, the way he always does when they talk about the son they lost, and she knows he's thinking about the way years leap by in an instant, and the way sometimes they slow and stop and never really start again. And maybe he says something a little dangerous, something a little agonizing, like, "You don't think..."

"No, no," she says gently, and maybe she meets his eyes in the vanity mirror, and maybe she reaches up over her shoulder and takes his hand. "He just looked like him, that's all."

#astarion #baldur's gate 3 #you don't make a deal with cazador to stay alive #unless you like being alive #and in a world with a manifest variety of reachable afterlifes (afterlives?) #you must really like the life you currently have to stick around for it #bg3 spoilers #quark rambles #coming back to add he has a headstone in the same plot as a bunch of nobles #you don't get those if you aren't grieved by SOMEONE
