Thank you kindly! ๐๏ธ
What do you think Joe and Nicky are doing right now?
Do you think they'll go to Malta for the summer and relax? ๐ฅฐ๐ฅน๐ฅน
Ok...
I know this is just a silly fun anon ask, thank you so much for sending it to me unprompted Nony ๐๐ and I'm sorry to make this serious... but unfortunately I don't think they would be in Malta this year.
The Old Guard, both in canon and fanon, are extremely involved in humanitarian crises. There is not a doubt in my mind that they would currently be in Rafah. I know that sometimes our escape from the goings on of the world is to think about our fandoms, but we as fans put The Old Guard into every major military/humanitarian event in history, and that's what this is.
I hope that they get some time in Malta soon, I really do. But even if the fighting stopped tomorrow I think they would still be in Gaza for months, if not years, helping.

for the "posting isn't activism" of the past few weeks, from the west bank:
The translation is accurate, he is talking about how israeli soldiers at (illegal) West Bank checkpoints have been checking Palestinians' phones for any social media posts about Gaza. They checked one man's phone and when they couldn't find anything, checked his stories archive on his instagram. When they found a post about Gaza they beat him savagely until they broke his nose and teeth, and then filmed it and took pictures and uploaded those to his own instagram story. they also livestreamed the whole thing themselves (he believes) on TikTok.
this one's for you, edwin paine
Crammed together like heaps of flesh in tents that feel like scorching ovens, our days have regressed to a more degraded version of those of the earliest humans. From morning till night, we search for the same things Abel and Cain sought to survive: water, food, and fire. We endure long hours in queues to get a meager amount of water, and the food consists of old, low-quality canned goods. We sleep and wake to the sounds of savage airplanes, unsure of where they will strike next or who among us will be turned into scattered remains. Here in Gaza, we are living the worst existence humanity has known since its very beginning, You are our only hope for escaping Gaza and its oppression. Please help my siblings and me find a safe place to live๐๐ต๐ธ
Just a reminder to my European followers that the European Parliament elections are coming up and they are very important! The far-right parties are projected to win a lot of seats and many of the left/environmentalist parties are expected to do poorly.
This could have serious implications for major issues like climate action in the EU. It is very important that young people turn out to vote, EU elections typically have relatively low turnout but the composition of the EU Parliament does impact the lives of people in the European Union in a lot of ways.
"empowering women by sending katy perry to space for 2 minutes" shut the fuck up. samantha cristoforetti was the first female commander of the international space station and she became an astronaut because of star trek. and there is a real chance she is a kirk/spock shipper
rest assured i am always thinking about joe and nicky from the old guard. ALWAYS.
