I See Her Like That Too. Especially Since Val Didn’t Get Any Of His Magic Back From Her Love, I Don’t

Apparently not everyone wants to be perceived as a pretty boy so now I have some gender evaluating to do lmao

Valentine is actually really good at painting. He loves oil paints and he paints delicate, calm landscapes. He hides them in a room in his house where his mother doesn’t go.

Spelldon’s hands shake too much to hold the brush. But he is a sketcher through and through and makes thick, messy graphite lines look sharp and elegant. He can’t draw anything but people, and Valentine is his favorite muse

Israel has destroyed at least 70% of the homes in the Strip and the majority of shops and markets there, including those selling clothing, in addition to limiting Palestinian merchants' ability to coordinate the entry of goods with Israeli authorities. Consequently, the total number of trucks entering the Gaza Strip in the past period contained aid that did not exceed 6% of the population's daily needs — the majority of which are related to food supplies-and the clothing and shoes allowed to enter the enclave did not exceed 0.001% of residents' needs.

[Full report]

So this is what Israel will refer to when they insist that they, in fact, did allow aid into Gaza. Just like they kept the entire Gaza population on a restricted calorie diet up to 2007, they are now starving over 2 million people so that they are in their weakest state in the middle of winter, with no shelter and no clothing either, with bombs hailing down on them nonstop.

Israel is attempting every annihilation strategy against Gaza, both slow and quick.

Please, spread this for those who might need it right now

I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅

Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.

Spelldon speaks Ancient Greek with his family and one day he’s on the speaker phone with his mother. She asks him about Kieran, and Spells goes “I’ll ask”

Before he can even open his mouth, Kieran answers the question in perfect Ancient Greek because he’s a NERD and either 1) secretly learned it for Spelldon, or 2) knew it all along
