Madly into Andrew’s sense of humour, when he called Neil a Pinocchio — not just because he was a liar, but also because of Neil’s desperate desire to be a real boy.

[knox-knocks]

if Matt doesn't take pictures of Neil the same way moms do, then consider me a nameless woman

reject the western gaze!

mutual aid means no hierarchy between givers and receivers

a new mutual aid org, Bridge of Solidarity, has been established in the gaza strip by 17 year old poet yazan mohammed in response to the exploitative practices conducted by some charities and encouraged by the existing charity-based model of fundraising for gaza. according to BoS: "the western attention economy and pity economy plays a large role in who lives or dies in gaza." essentially, people need to make themselves marketable in order to receive lifesaving aid; people who are not marketable die. yazan himself wrote about the damage this can do to one's self image, which you can read here.

after trying for a year to respect his own privacy, my friend siraj was also pressured into posting images of his son's emaciated body in order to gain sympathy from westerners.

we cannot keep forcing people to do this anymore.

here's a declaration of their values from bridge of solidarity's most recent post:

Our organization is against the Western gaze. We refuse to humiliate people. We refuse to force people to take photos. We refuse to force people to take photos with our flyer or logo. People will receive aid freely without being forced to pose. We will respect people's privacy completely. Our principles include autonomy, dignity, sovereignty, mutual respect, and mutual aid.

this org will prioritize giving aid to people without phones or social media, who do not speak english, and who do not have outside support or living parents. these are the people who are not palatable to westerners but who deserve to live with as much dignity as everyone else

as of five days ago, BoS are working on a water truck delivery

imagine the following:

the central character(s) of the most recent fanfic you completed are summoned into your room, in the physical and mental state they were in at the end of your fanfic. they are made fully aware of the following:

they are a fictional character

whatever happened to them in canon was the result of their original author's writing.

whatever happened to them in your fanfic was the result of your writing.

[knox-knocks]

I love this scene SO much

[knox-knocks]

so maybe the gay mafia sports book changed my life. so what.

[knox-knocks]

they were worth every cut and bruise and scream.

[knox-knocks]

andreil gets so much funnier when you realize they are the guy everyone thought was clinically insane but is actually just a weird kidTM, and the guy everyone thought was a weird kidTM that is actually clinically insane

[knox-knocks]

Looks like Neil’s not the only one who needs to get his staring problem fixed :/

(Also I am taking this as an opportunity to share my Headcanon that Andrew and Aaron both have a lot of acne/acne scars. I have no reason for it other that that’s just how I pictured them the first time I read the books🤷‍♂️)

[knox-knocks]

I can't believe it's been over a year since I last drew them together properly (respectfully looking away from the failed attempt to draw the temple kiss scene, but I'll get back to you🫵🏻🫵🏻)

[knox-knocks]

all i’m saying is andrew minyard is a LOVERBOY at his core

[knox-knocks]

cannot get over how canonically hot jean is. he’s french, 6’2” with an athletic build, and has a previously broken nose. black hair and gray eyes and an accent to die for. knows three languages. rides a motorcycle. cooks and cleans and enjoys it. would kill for the people he cares about. isn’t afraid to get rude but also gets weak in the knees the second that you’re kind to him. my god he’s so effing hot.

[knox-knocks]

andreil heard “crush” by ethel cain and decided to make it everyone’s problem
