on twitter, a viral thread started where people around the world shared their translations of “If I must die”, the last work of Dr Refaat Alareer also known as "the voice of Gaza". A beloved poet, teacher and life-long activist for Palestine, he was recently assassinated along with members of his extended family by a targeted Israeli air strike. His loss leaves a hole in the heart of palestinians all over the world.

Below the cut, I’ll be posting the translations of his poem, with links to the original posts. Unfortunately, tumblr limits posts to a maximum of 30 images. I will update when I can.

#probably one of the most beautiful threads to ever grace twitter's rotten husk of a platform #i really earnestly almost cried #when people say the world stands with palestine #they mean they speak with palestine as well #israel murders palestinian poets to silence their voice. their culture. their lifeblood #in response the world amplifies his voice tenfold #but what a loss #what an unforgivable loss #i hope it is some consolation to those who loved refaat that his words are now immortalised in languages all over the world #that he has united so many people in their pursuit of palestinian freedom #please please please feel free to add your own translations onto the post in reblogs #i just havent seen anything about this thread on tumblr yet #im just the messenger #palestine will be free #the words of refaat alareer will be immortalised #and his students will carry on his legacy #ah but it is almost 5am and i havent slept #when i wake up i will add more #free palestine #israel #refaat alareer #rest in peace

[decolonize-the-left]

Lol. lmao even.

Thank you so much for proving my point.

Like forgive my "holier than thou" and "fake leftist" attitude about it but I think if you want change you have to take risks, risks that upset the status quo. Like voting 3rd party, especially when nobody (including historically blue labor unions and states) wants Biden to be president.

If there's a chance to change things for the better then leftists and progressives take that opportunity. Every time. If you don't take that opportunity then you aren't even a progressive, let alone a leftist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Conservatives are called conservatives cuz they don't want things to change. You know why? Progress always threatens privilege and their privilege is something conservatives care about maintaining. "Things are fine the way they are, not perfect but be reasonable."

Also since you asked about my praxis; The last 4 years I have: protested/taken tear gas to the face across the entire PNW, organized for BLM, helped create a police alternative in my area so people don't have to call the cops, built mutual aid networks that cross state borders, and then I caught COVID the first time. At which point I became too disabled to keep doing the same level of praxis. So then I spent a Lot of time at the doctor trying to get my new COVID-caused chronic illnesses diagnosed. I couldn't handle activity like that anymore so I shifted gears to accommodate my body. I changed my passively political Tumblr to be my main source of outreach for radicalizing that would double as a political resource for leftist newbies.

Additionally, I've posted about this before and even showed y'all my ballot but I live in Nazi Territory. There is nobody who runs for any office here that isn't a Republican or libertarian and most of the time they're unopposed, too. I regularly don't vote because I don't have anyone to vote for, let alone have a 3rd party candidate to support.

"decolonize your own nationality privilege"

I'm literally Ojibwe, first off. Secondly, you think decolonizing the USA looks like re-electing a colonizer actively commiting genocide? l m a o

Like I said....people like this are closer to being conservative centrists than any kind of leftist. There's No Way someone who supports liberty and self determination would vote for Biden when there are other options ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and if I did NOT call out this clearly co-optive behavior then I would Not be decolonize the left.

Centrists and conservatives will not be allowed to water down leftist beliefs as long as this blog is here.

I literally came here to be holier than thou and judgey and to hold leftists to a higher standard after I shared so many online spaces with leftists who did Not support Landback, hated IDPOL, and thought class reductionism would lead to a revolution.

So if my posts strike a nerve: good, tbh

Ps;

"real leftism is when you vote for capitalist genocidal Democrats to maintain the peaceful status quo and if you disagree you're a privileged liberal" and "how come you as a famous Tumblr blogger haven't materially affected our elections the last 4 years???" are takes I'd be embarrassed to say out loud so I've hidden your URL, lmfaoooooo

Pps:

You could open any of the books I've suggested on race or colonialism or imperialism or native history :) or join one of the unions I've posted about. Watch one of the videos about building mutual aid networks. You could even learn about presidential candidates on my page. And if you think you can do a better job than me then do it. I'm literally begging.

Or yeah, I guess you could keep doing whatever this is *gestures to the post* instead.

That's obviously very useful.

#not to be mentally ill on main but why do people ALWAYS assume im just preachy??? #i went to the PDX BLM protest after ppl said i didnt have enoughy IRL experience to be a “real” leftist #i hate being dismissed lmfao yall have no idea the things Ive learned and done out of spite to “earn” my voice #so yeah nobody can tell me shit cuz i stay on top of business and thats why i act holier than thou in my posts #its just so aggravating to be literally fucking disabled and VISIBLY doing more work than “allies” who just make posts like this #“why isn't decol radicalizing more people or being useful” thats called a projection worstie #the real question is how have you followed me this long and STILL believe voting for Joe is a decolonial action.... #unless you haven't actually internalized any of the free education and resources on my blog #rant #vent

for some reason im really feeling the Queer Euphoria in this chilis tonight, specifically: being so ambiguous its hilarious. there is No label to describe my orientation/gender. like yeah i use nonbinary bc technically it fits but also bc the flag Fucks. if asked, my only correct answer would be "Wildcard, Motherfucker!"

#both change on a daily basis #gender depends on vibes. weather. A Cool Art Piece I Saw On Tumblr. a dream i had the night prior. what im doing at the moment. song playin #i use & prefer they/them but really anything is free game For The Bit. i am willing to play pretend and try on different hats! #orientation depends on who im looking at in the moment. like i consistently surprise myself with who i do/dont find attractive #it also happens.... less than id expect. but when it does happen its a very strong Ohhhhhh. Ohoho Hi Heyyyy<3 moment #BUT OH ITS SO FUN TO BE UNLABELABLE #thats not a word! except yes it is! #i take the boxes people try to put me in. i make a sickass fort outta them & add blankets and pillows & paint #there is a drawbridge and a moat. and origami dragons! #its so so fun #but also very annoying on the rare occasion im asked what i am #like! fuck if i know! this is my first time being alive! its none of my business! i have bigger omelets to burn! #its like.... #'are you gay' yes but also no 'are you a lesbian' yes but also no 'are you bi' yes but also no 'are you-' Yes But Also No. #again: wildcard. #absolutely unprompted #its like... oh man if i wasnt so squeamish about syringes i could make my gender Soooo Me <3 #bc i want a deeper voice but i like my body how it is. mostly. its literally just my voice that i dont like #& facial hair would be nice but also do i want to deal with the hassle that is shaving. no i do not <3 #still i cherish the two hairs i have on my chin. theyre so neat #i wish skirts were comfortable. i need a better eyeliner pen. i need more tank tops and a good binder. i want to confuse people #and then like... women with deep voices and men who're all dolled up and ambiguous folks who are so visibly queer- #there is so much to love everywhere and i do not care for the generally excepted/used fences people keep putting up #im ripping up their signs and kicking over the fences. Let Us Roam Free Range #shoutout to all my fellow Idk What The Fuck I Am And I Like It That Way homies. we're so funky #and you're So fucking valid. you don't need a label and you don't need a description. you are so so so awesome and rad as hell

[gentil-minou]

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for voting third-party. I know a lot of folks have said third-party votes are wasted, but with the way things are going, I'll probably vote third-party, too, and it's nice to know there are other people out there who care more about following their beliefs than standing by a broken system.

Maybe this will be the election people realize it's not a waste.

(Also, I'm sorry folks are being nasty in your inbox. Hope things get better soon. On all counts.)

<3 <3 <3

Thank you for also voting third party!! I used to do it more back when I first started voting because I actually believed in the democratic process, until I was disillusioned by a rigged system and started voting blue because it felt like I had no choice.

Every year I voted blue I had to convince myself "this is fine. This is better than the other guy" even though I knew their warmongering policies and how they leaned too close to the center for comfort. Voting Clinton and Biden last couple cycles felt like I had to, because I was able to wear the blinders long enough to gaslight myself into thinking I actually wanted them as my president. Because I had to or else I'd "waste my vote"

I refuse to do that anymore. Now I realize I'd waste my vote by giving it to someone who would rather see us dead than lose their money and power. I'd waste my vote giving it to a broken system.

The people shaming everyone to vote blue act like I'm voting for Trump by default if I don't vote Biden, and look i followed the same rhetoric in 2020. I'm sure if you go back in my posts I said the same thing.

But the line was crossed somewhere around the minute I learned my money funded the deaths of thousands, and always has. The line was crossed when I learned the president I called into power cares more about his military pet project than life. The line was crossed when I realized Biden is old enough to remember when Palestine was it's own free nation but refuses to, because he follows the age old American tactic of "This land is my land, actually, not yours"

So yeah I'm done with feeding into a system like that.

And here's the thing about this newest generation of voters: they are soooo powerful and they are so much braver than I was at their age. They know that meaningful movement and cooperation can overtake a corrupted system. The Dems and Republicans are both terrified of them because they know they're not as easy to indoctrinate into their philosophy.

I genuinely believe that if we can use the millions and millions of people who voice support for Palestine to also put their vote towards someone else, like Claudia in the socialist party who I've been keeping an eye on or the representatives that have actually backed up calls for ceasefire, like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar and I'm proud to say my own rep, who are trying to move the dem party to a place that actually represents me.

If millions back a third party candidate, that says something. It says we aren't going to fall into the traps laid by the generations before us. It's says we are going to fight for what we believe in.

Revolution does not happen in a year or two. It takes a lifetime. And if there's anything that I've learned from Palestinians it's that the cause for a truly free world is worth fighting for no matter how many decades it takes.

#ive made my stance on this very clear and frankly i dont want to waste anymore time on white men in power when i could be uplifiting #palestinians voices and supporting change #so we can have a free palestine in my life time #so im going to block everyone who comes to my inbox/comments trying to shame me into voting for biden #you may have your eyes and hearts firmly closed but i refuse to #joe biden #free palestine #genocide joe

[thebisexualwreckoning]

They are dead.

Babies, their first cry not heard by the world before they become orphans

Toddlers, taking their first steps among the rubble of places they didn't live in long enough to call home

Children, not yet old enough to know what is happening but who still know that something is very very wrong

Teenagers, watching their friends starve and unable to do anything about it

Parents, who cannot go on any longer as they watch their children being murdered

Grandparents, who have seen the start of this war but fear that they will not live to see its end

Students, watching as their schools go from teaching them to housing them to being the only thing between them and certain death

Journalists, documenting the horrors every day because they may die any second but they will not die without a purpose

Doctors, refusing to leave their home because rivers will flow full of their blood before they stop trying to save their people

Millions of Palestinians, still hanging on to hope that despite everything One day From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free.

#im going back to my roots #making art in the hope that somehow it will help #this is me begging you to follow the global strike #call out of work or school #dont buy anything non-essential #do not spend any extra money #especially at pro-apartheid Israel companies #use your voice for those who have none #scream about the injustice of it all from the rooftops #support palestinians #spread information #support palestine #Kismet ki Kahaniya #creative writing #ceasefire #ceasefire now #free gaza #gaza #gaza strip #gaza genocide #gazaunderattack #palestinian genocide #free palestine #palastine #stop the genocide #stop the occupation #stop genocide #palestine #i stand with palestine 🇵🇸 #i stand with palestine

[jyndor]

anyone who says "only people who have really educated themselves on this conflict should talk about it" should not by their own admission talk about palestine because at this point anyone who calls this a "conflict" is uneducated to a fault.

that said I strongly disagree - it certainly HELPS to be educated on palestine to talk about it. it makes it a lot easier to understand a lot of the moving parts if you have a foundation of some of the history. but no actually I think I've said it before and I'll say it again, you do not need to read up on something to watch three months of mass murder and understand it for what it is - a genocide. you do not need to have read pappé and rashidi and said and schlaim and chomsky and all the rest to understand that palestine is occupied, that israel is occupying palestine, and that this is wrong.

anyone telling ANYONE not to speak on this issue at this moment is asking essentially for your silence during a genocide. whether or not they realize it, they are doing the work of the israeli government that so many people who say this shit claim to despise.

now I highly recommend you do actually become educated on palestine because you will be able to better advocate for palestinian liberation if you understand it more deeply. you won't be as likely to fall into traps like "from the river to the sea is calling for a genocide of jews" or the very premise that this is some sort of war or conflict or "hamas is isis" etc.

you'll also probably be able to apply your knowledge to other peoples' fights for liberation. to other genocides and occupations. because all of our struggles are connected.

someone who calls this a conflict has not done the reading required to understand that.

#palestine #free palestine #how dare you tell people to be silent at a time like this #shameful shameful shameful behavior #im happy to correct people when they say ignorant or incorrect shit about palestine and israel #or antisemitic bullshit #but what we are not gonna do is disempower people from using their voices even if they arent super well educated on this shit #and the fact that some people who say this shit say they are not zionists... bro #i believe they think that but i think they are just not educated enough on this topic

[spacedlexi]

sooo glad we live in the universe where twdgs4 was rewritten to be about saving the school instead of the original lis2-esque on the road each-episode-is-a-new-location plot. really dodged a bullet there

dont know if it was due to the cuts and collapsing work environment (no budget for all the assets needed) or what but the school plot is just like the perfect setting for her to end her story. and we really almost got a plot about her.... just trying to make it back to her original house? oof

#my biggest problem with lis2 is that being on the road made a lot of your choices essentially meaningless #like wheres the threat of consequence when you know youll be gone by the next episode anyway? #the kids were originally gonna kick them out permanently.......Nightmare Scenario #the plot of her trying to get back 'home' is so silly honestly like its Just nostalgia/fan bait. convince me otherwise you cant #it makes no sense....she lived right outside a major city... that place is Not safe anymore #it wasnt even safe when she left it 8 years ago girl why would you go back #her finding a place to MAKE a new home and having to fight for it? with a community of her peers who love and respect her? so much better #shes a community leader now :) of a bunch of kids living secretly in the woods just trying to make a safe home for themselves #in a hostile world that wants them dead #love that for her #shes been managing adults since she was 11 and even before that tried to be a voice of reason. at 8 years old. community leader makes sense #s4 is just so narratively sound to me for clems character that i cant believe there was ever any other direction they wanted to go in #every time im thinking about how good s4 is i remember what it almost was......... and i am so grateful we got what we did #not only do we live in the universe where s4 is about the school but we Also live in the universe where s4 was un-cancelled :) yay #shit makes me so happy man. i remember clem is living happily at ericsons and my day is Immediately improved #these little fictional bitches in my head giving me free serotonin on command #it speaks #twdg

I can't properly put into words the amount of disgust that I feel seeing someone who looks like she could be my cousin fight for a genocidal occupational force like Israel but I will say this.

If you are Chinese, Korean, Japanese or any one of these Asian ethnicities that the West deem "acceptable" and you align yourselves with western-backed racial supremacy, you are making fools of yourselves. You have fallen prey to the myth of the "model minority" and you are suckers for it.

The premise of racial supremacy is based on exclusivity. And here's a dose of reality - the myth of the "model minority" is nothing but a tactic to placate you. To sow divide in the ranks of people of colour. To artificially manufacture another realm of racial supremacy in minorities so that you're distracted from how we all suffer under colonialism.

Did we all forget about the skyrocketing of sinophobia in the wake of the first COVID outbreak? The transformation of Chinese people into fiends with barbaric eating customs, poor hygiene, and mass conspiracy to infect the world with biological weapons?

link

What about the hate-crimes? The attacks in the street against anyone visibly asian? The rampant discrimination and ostracisation from society?

In 2020, Donald Trump referred to COVID-19 as "The Chinese Virus", "Kung-flu" at a campaign rally to raucous applause, a chilling echo of the times where fears of the "Yellow Peril" had the western world in a stranglehold.

For all that Chinese people have been lauded as "prodigies" and "well-mannered workers", the moment our existence was incovenient, were were nothing more than another target. And although Chinese suffering then wasn't close to the scale of suffering that Palestinians now endure, we all received a reminder on what it was like to be in the world's crosshairs.

Now, in 2023, Biden dismisses death tolls as unreliable and remains proudly Zionist even after Netanyahu described the genocide Israel is inflicting upon Palestine as the "struggle between the children of light and the children of darkness, between humanity and the law of the jungle." At the same time, Palestinians are being compared to fleeing rats in a gesture of dehumanisation that mirrors how the Nazis portrayed Jews during the Holocaust.

And let's not think Abigail's Jewishness will save her, not when it's been proven that Israel has administered contraceptives to Ethiopian Jewish immigrants without their consent. Racial supremacy is an exclusive club that never stops getting smaller, and there is nothing that you, as a minority, will ever be able to do to fit in. One day, you too will be a target and there'll be nothing you can do but blame yourself. After all - it's already happened.

So shame on Abigail. Truly. With the memory of knowing what it's like to be targeted for factors out of your control fresh in her mind, she happily fights to do the same to others. And that says more about her than I ever will be able to.

#this may be long winded and wordy but i had to get this off my chest #as a chinese-australian woman who does her best to be proud of her chinese heritage #this was a slap in the face #and ive tried lately to not inject my own voice into discussion about palestine bc i know there are people out there #who are more educated and more equipped with voices that need elevating more than mine do #but i think im allowed to talk about how enraged this made me #god. #free palestine #palestine #cw: mentions of sinophobia #colonialism

Summary:

Three little scenes on the theme of singing.

:) I was in the mood for something short and sweet. Hope you enjoy!

#gotta go back to work for a bit but i couldn't resist posting this as soon as i had a few free minutes #i originally meant to post these on here only but the middle vignette got away from me a bit. lol #i think the moment miles complained about rose humming is the moment that cemented my severe dislike of him. like. dude. #your girlfriend is snow-white mary poppins the most adorable princess ever #and you complain? that she hums??? im going to break your kneecaps???? #idk what else i can say about dorothy singing 'what'll i do'. that scene is everything it changed my life ngl #i guess i wanted a happier memory related to it than 'oh she sings it and then leaves forever four episodes later' #i hope rose's pov works well! i'm never quite sure about it. i should give a try to a whole fic in her pov soon #please tell me im not the only one who found blanche's beer jingle to be the sweetest thing ever. she sang it in such a soft voice #like it's funny ofc but i just melted #might be because im in love with her though #i always ramble in the tags when i post this stuff lmao. i hope you all have fun #hugs and kisses for you! #the golden girls #golden wives #writing

[frecklystars]

i know nobody is online rn to read this but ;-; i gotta get it off my chest i love ken so much he means everything to me he's making me so happy and i've needed him so so so bad. he's brought me comfort when my ptsd has been so fucking unbearable and every time i'm having a crying fit over losing my tf f/os or every time i'm having a flashback i ALWAYS immediately IMMEDIATELY think about him rushing to my side, holding me and saying "hey hey it's okay, i'm here, i'm right here" and it's such a relief because i haven't been able to genuinely wholeheartedly believe any character would be willing to do that for me the entire time i've been struggling this year.

i've never gone so long without comfort from f/os, much less being triggered by the ones who used to comfort me the most. so to have barbie and ken right now is like the biggest wave of relief every single day when i wake up and the hyperfixation is still there. sometimes i will literally close my eyes and sigh in relief when i hear a song and my first thought is sebastian or ken or six or... whomever. i love being in love again. i NEED this. i love waking up and my first thought isn't my trauma most of the time now, it's ken. or it's six. or it's barbie. or it's harley. or it's officer k. or it's... yeah you get it. i needed these characters so fucking badly. every time i see a gifset and get excited over it, i feel a rush of gratitude bc self shipping has always been the glue holding me together. it doesn't feel as intense or strong as the SB musical or TF used to make me feel but i am not picky. not at all. i will take anything and i'm praying this lasts for at LEAST another few weeks please

i may not be at a sense of peace right now and i dont know when i ever will be, it could be years, but im so. so. so. so so so thankful to have these characters right now when i've needed someone so badly for so long. i hope ken knows how much i love him ;-; i hope barbie knows how much she has helped me, has saved me from one of my major triggers and has helped me to love and feel safe around the color pink again. i wish they could see me when i'm not so broken but i'm glad they're here even when i'm at my worst, i'm glad they still love me even when they deserve to see me in a much better light

#it feels so fucking terrible not celebrating my bday with my starlight. i used to buy myself cakes and put his figurine next to them #i mean i still have... a little bit over one week... i cant... let it pass by without him being involved somehow #so i might make a quick vent doodle and queue it for the actual day of my bday #i refuse to not draw myself with him at least once for my special day #its not like we 'broke up' or anything but fuck it feels so bad #he's a literal fucking ptsd trigger. how fucking insane is that #im still in shock. im still in shock over what happened to me like i cant fucking believe it #wearing his necklace makes me cry so i just leave it on my dresser #that shouldnt be normal!!!! #but im hoping that shipping with barbie/ken is going to help me feel like i can reclaim control over my ships #bc my abuser made me feel like... i had no control over my TF ships whatsoever for a solid year #so now that i'm finally free of that toxicity i'm still shakily trying to learn how to ship again #i'll have moments where i'll worry ken will try to hurt me on purpose bc im so used to my abuser telling me how abusive any f/o would be #but then i tell myself 'hey what the fuck. this is MY story. NOBODY would abuse me i dont care WHO they are' #but it's so hard to unlearn several months of abuse 😔 #and even harder to look at a character who i invested so much time and energy and money into #my voice clips. my cameos. all of my steve blum autographs. my art for steve. all of it feels sad and numbing #not just stsc but everyone in any TF universe feels like... a threat and i get panic attacks when i see very specific characters sometimes #its awful. it hurts so bad. i love ken so much. but nothing compares to what i had with my TF comfort characters #but it's okay bc... ken is holding my hand and he might not understand ptsd at all but he can still squeeze me tight #and six HAS c-ptsd he GETS it. and he's there to hold me when my nightmares make me fall apart. he's my rock #vent #ptsd #sorry it's 5am i had a bad nightmare and now i refuse to sleep again #i fucking hate ptsd i fucking hate living like this i rly wish i knew how to cure myself #im exercising im eating and drinking often im sleeping as much as i can #theres only so much i can do #when does it get better?? when the fuck does it get better? im serious. not rhetorical. when does this finally heal #i dont even know if im healing or if im just distracted... but fuck ill take anything

@grollow bribed me to make a lurimol fanchild but now I love her >:(

Everyone... meet Mettah!

(This will be dumped from discord conversations so forgive the pacing but)

her name is Mettah and she's a damselfly who was lurien's. Unsure if I'm going to make hegemol her bio dad or not. Also lurien was ready to cut a bitch at any moment while gravid and he hated it (but doesnt regret having mettah for a second)

even if like lore wise who cares a beetle and a damselfly can have a kid, as much as heg really really wants a child of his 'own' it's not as important to him as lurien's safety, and given their size difference, i feel like he'd . be like hey maybe we should. like. not. have me um. sire you.

Also probably very easy to parent through the larval stages when your child will be confined to the bathtub for a couple years ashffh very glad I made my lurien have essentially his own private hot tub for a bath. Will have to temporarily put baby in a nice bucket though when they have to bathe for real.

thinking about Lurien sitting at his easel with Mettah in his lap and he's got her own set of finger paints in cups in front of her while his brushes and paints are off on his side table, and she's smearing all the colors on his canvas while he adds details and lines and helps fill in the shapes

Lurien is the one who names her because after she hatches he gets very emotional seeing their little larvae swimming around and he's just like. "Mettah."

And Hegemol tilts his head curiously as he drapes a warm towel over lurien's shoulders.

"Their name. Mettah. It's going to be Mettah. I heard it over, over, and over again when I was carrying them. Mettah."

An Hegemol gives a low, surprised rumble, and before he can respond Lurien's cutting in again, "--I--I should have asked you. My apologies. This is something that should be mutual--"

But Hegemol just reaches over with a gloved hand to turn Lurien to face him, get him out of his own hands, and lowers his head to be more eye level, "You owe no apologies. ...Mettah." He turns and looks at the larvae, who is watching them from the pool. "...I think that's a beautiful name. And it seems they like it too, hm?"

AND ALSO i think Lurien does essentially give her a homeschooled 'formal' education in the arts, I think she grows into an extremely skilled painter like he is, and she never resents this, but when she's starting to come more into her own wings she's like. Hey father i love painting the city with you. But i want to make FREAK SHIT ‼️ and goes headfirst into making outsider-esque art and uses all of her knowledge of the art rules to break them, and also starts using her art to promote propaganda for like. bug unions and shit as hallownest rebuilds itself.

And lurien couldn't be more proud of her.

I am too sleepy to draw but I also had an idea that they'd adopt a beetle girl named Bronwyn or Brunhilde, and she's the daughter of Gytha, Hegemol's first squire, who he is very, very close to. Who ends up a single parent essentially and realizes very early on that she can't do this and honestly very much does not wish to, and wants to give her kid a better life. She knows her mentor is a brooding mother hen, so she gives her off to him and instead helps out and visits often. But the child is raised by heg and lurien essentially.

Hegemol: Lurien my beloved what do you think about a second chi-- put the knives away i should have started with 'adopting'
