let us take a moment and grieve for all the lives lost. so many thousand people have been murdered by the zionist entity in the last fifteen months. palestinians in gaza have lost too much, from friends and family to their homes and livelihood.
this ceasefire is not an end to our solidarity with gaza. we will all be here waiting and praying for palestine to be wholly liberated from the occupation and watch her people be happy and free.
in the meantime, please keep donating to palestinian fundraisers. it is essential to support families planning on rebuilding.
alaa is a mother of two young children. her fundraiser has been verified. i request you to help her by sharing and donating to her gofundme.
please donate here

one of my favorite little scenes from coming home (but not to you) by @lesbianherald :) haven't done comics in so so long but really wanted to give it a shot lol
The Last Days of Judas Iscariot saying that heaven and hell are a state of mind and nothing can obstruct you from salvation and the love of God except your own guilt. And despair being such a dooming force that even if Jesus were to appear in front of you himself and repeatedly remind you how much he loves you, hell, he'll try to hug you and wash your feet even, you can't be let free from the prison of suffering that you've confined yourself in. All because you're so disappointed in yourself that you're gripping the bars refusing to let go. How you cannot love God without first forgiving yourself. How the ultimate tragedy in this poignant dark comedy of a play is that Judas' damnation comes not from the fact that he betrayed Jesus, but from his self-disdain and perceived unworthiness that he basically condemned himself into an eternity of solitary anguish. I can go on about this play forever and ever. Do you get it.

🚨 We Need Your Kindness to Survive 🚨
Hello, My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become harder than I ever imagined, and I’m writing this with hope in my heart that you might hear our story.
The ongoing war has devastated my family. We’ve lost 25 family members—each one a beloved part of our lives, taken too soon. I miss them deeply—their laughter, their presence, their love. Every day is a reminder of this unimaginable loss.

We are now facing daily challenges to survive—things that most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams with the constant fight for survival.
Our Current Situation:
💔 Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income. 🍞 Basic Needs: Food and water are becoming harder to afford with rising prices and scarce resources. 📚 Dreams on Hold: Like so many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive. 😢 Unimaginable Loss: Losing 25 loved ones has left a void that can never be filled.
How You Can Help:
I’m sharing our story with the hope that someone out there might care. Even $5 can make a big difference for us, and if you’re unable to donate, just reblogging this post can help spread the word.
Your kindness, no matter how small, is something we’ll never forget.
What This Means to Us:
Your support is not about changing our entire situation—it’s about giving us a little relief, a little hope, and a way to keep going. We are not asking for much, and we understand if you can’t donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as a donation.
Thank you for reading this far. It means the world to us to know that someone is listening. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.
With all our gratitude, Mosab Elderawi and Family ❤️

I'd like to ask you how you started shipping Lucifer x Michael and what inspired you to finally write a book about it! I'm sure you have some kind of origin story behind it 😂 Just like how you thought of pairing Samyazza and Azazel, I swear that until I read A&M, I had no idea about Samyazza and the other Watchers. It was a surprise for me to look it up out of curiosity and discover that they're actual names mentioned...
I actually went into detail on why I paired Lucifer with Michael in the special birthday edition of ABM (in a long introductory note). I've also talked about it here, but I'm not really sure where that ask is.
The (reiterated) answer is that I thought it was interesting that a lot of people I knew in real life had the idea that they would have been friends once; I'm talking about my religious family and friends here. It's interesting because there's no scriptural evidence for it, and there's no... religious tradition of Michael and Lucifer being friends. The idea that they're brothers (as in, blood brothers) spawned from this (unfounded) idea everyone seems to have, I think.
There's this part in ABM where Rosier says that Michael and Lucifer loving each other "just makes sense" and yeah, it does. Outside of any ABM context, it just makes for a really compelling tragedy to all the statues of Michael casting Lucifer down that we see everywhere. It explains why Michael never looks happy in those statues, that's for sure. They're all so melancholic. You don't need to read ABM to get that feeling either.
In terms of actual biblical evidence, there is none, but I was really fascinated by the fact that Michael only ever speaks once in the Bible, despite his 4 billion appearances, and it's at Satan (in Jude 9). It comes as a memory though. Jude basically says, "Do you remember when Michael fought with Satan over Moses' body and said that God rebukes him?" The fact that it's a memory with little context and that Michael wouldn't condemn Satan with his own heart made me... think a lot.
Michael's name means "Who is like God?" also. It's meant to be a rhetorical question. Well, who do we know who'd want to answer it anyway? Who do we know that would try to become one with that question? (Kiss it, fuck it). The devil, obviously. And it just makes sense. Michael, the sword of God, the chief prince of Heaven. Of course Satan loves him. And why wouldn't Michael love God's most beautiful and favorite angel back?

Why would Baal say this
in mesopotamia there were no 'cover letters' or 'curriculum vitaes'. there were just, pots.

Dear friends and compassionate supporters,
This is Eman Zaqout, from Occupied Gaza, Palestine. I am a Biotechnologist ,🩸💉 and scientific researcher contacting you at a really desperate moment.
I am seeking your assistance to raise funds for saving our lives, facing the starvation in Gaza and help me achieve my doctoral degree dream after being awarded OWSD PhD Fellowship for inspirational women🍉👩🎓
just like any motivated and loving life woman, and for years, I poured my heart and soul into my work at Al-Shifa Hospital and Turkish Palestinian Friendship Hospital, as Biotechnology Specialist serving cancer patients with compassion and skill.

I also gave medical lectures to students at different universities and training centers in Gaza👇☑
As a result of my outstanding grades in my study and the excellent performance in my job, I have been a holder of different scholarship and I am active participant in many research visits and scientific missions. 💪The last scholarship as at McGill University in Canada three months ago before the starting of the genocide in Gaza.😫
However,😥
My life changed dramatically when Israeli military launched a sweeping war against Gaza. My home and our neighborhood in the North have been destroyed along with our belongings and precious memories early in this crisis.😢💔
My job and my husband's job are gone. Israeli military forced us to evacuate from the north Gaza to the south where they claimed it would be the safe zone but it is not at all. Our sweet home and neighborhood have been destroyed 😥😭💔
Forced to flee with nothing but the clothes on our backs, today, we find ourselves sheltering in a displacement camp lacking access to sanitation, medical supplies, food and drinkable water. I will not talk a lot about the dire and unbearable life we have to go through, as no word can express it fairly 🥺😣
The good news in the midst of this tragedy, that I am one of the 22 women from the developing world who have been awarded OWSD- PhD fellowship to pursue my PhD study in Malaysia🍉💪. But now I am stuck in Gaza unable to achieve my dream because Israeli army has occupied and closed all the border crossings 😭💔
Meet 22 fellows awarded OWSD PhD fellowship
This genocide has been 11 months of hell and horror. We have reached a point where there is no hope left for us here in Gaza, where we are unfortunately just waiting for our turn to die.
Nevertheless,
I refuse to succumb to despair, holding on to the belief that brighter days lie ahead.
With your kindness and generosity🥺, I hope to survive the genocide and reclaim the path to achieving my doctorate 💉🩸
Your compassionate aid would mean the world to me and my family.🥺🙏❤🇵🇸✌

I'm currently reading A&M and just finished HFH. Can I ask any fun fact or info crumb about Baal? He's my favorite, I feel like he needs to be protected at all costs. (I usually refer to him as Daddy Baal 👀).
Thank you 💜
Aaaahh thank you for reading! I love Baal so I'm glad you like him!
When Lucifer was "dead", Baal set out to conquer the Earth and rule the demons in Lucifer's name. And I've talked about this before but beyond his obsession with Lucifer, and Michael, he's also really into Asmodeus. He finds him really cool and attractive (and admires him a lot). He's also pretty friendly with Gemory! And of course he thinks Rosier is very sweet (and attractive). (He's attracted to all his friends, basically.)
Baal can be very violent, as you know, partly for himself and partly because he does a lot of the dirty work for Lucifer, like torturing demons. He does this for a lot of reasons, one of them being that he doesn't want Lucifer to dirty his pretty little hands. He tries very hard not to be jealous (and he's typically not) but he can randomly get possessive at times. He really does love Lucifer and puts up with everything for the few times a month that Lucifer is sweet to him. He likes having his hair played with and likes laying his head on Lucifer's lap.

Some Readings on Racial and Religious Alterity in Arthurian literature
Links where they’re publically available, otherwise feel free to dm me for a pdf if you don’t have university access! I particularly recommend that if you are white and a fan of Arthuriana, you read the first article here. It’s a short read and it both addresses the Islamic inspiration for Arthurian literature and also succinctly shows why Arthuriana can be profoundly alienating to a Muslim audience.
Hermes, Nizar. King Arthur in the Land of the Saracens
Sottosanti, Danielle. The Romance of Conversion: Crossover in Late-Medieval Literature
Keita, Maghan. Saracens and Black Knights
Goodrich, Peter. Saracens and Islamic Alterity in Malory’s “Le Morte Darthur”
Hoffman, Donald. Assimilating Saracens: The Aliens in Malory’s “Morte Darthur”
Putter, Ad. Walewein in the Otherworld and the Land of Prester John.
Adams, Jenny. Colonizing the Otherworld in Walewein.
If there’s one sentence I want everyone who sees this to read, it’s this, from Sottosanti’s dissertation:
As critics such as Heng and Bonnie J. Erwin have noted, conversion stories, such as the Constance story depicted by Chaucer and John Gower, proliferated during this period as a consequence of centuries of crusading efforts in the East.
