"innocence"

Such a frail, fleeting thing, always wilting

Always being shed.

The innocent are merely the "unknown"

An illusion cast by the thin veils of presumed morality

It is my sin.

All our sins to bear

"to assume innocence"

Of man, of beast

None are truly innocent

All are cursed by our creators.

To be loved is a curse.

To be born is a curse.

To know is a curse.

A sin

Therefore the mere act of knowing strips of you of that farce.

Of that weak, cheap kindness

Of innocence.

Existence is pain

Vanquish the sorrow that lives in my bones

Honour the madness that wears my flesh

This hunger is holy and so is the silence.

I am alive and aching

Delirium is my salvation

"Apollo is just a uwu soft sunshine boy!" Apollo, the God who guarantees freedom?

Apollo, bringer of disease as well as health?

Apollo, who without his light, all life would cease to exist?

Apollo, God of the heatwaves, blinding lights, the chemical compounds that birthed and maintain a star you can't even look upon without hurting yourself?

Apollo, God of music and poetry, raw emotion made physical through melodies and words sewn together, compositions and words that remain timeless?

That Apollo?

Of course, it's not actually accurate to say that the IDF is "indiscriminately" killing Palestinian civilians. They seem to have an especial affinity for murdering poets, writers, artists, journalists, old women who promimently boast of being "older than the occupation", university professors, and anyone with a particular role to play in the propagation of Palestinian culture or history, together with their families.

i do not pity israel. never have, and never will.

each night that gaza experiences is deadlier than the last, as idf soldiers record propaganda tiktoks, make rave parties and grwms and fit checks, gloat over having food and water, and film themselves deriving sadistic pleasure from torturing their hostages and victims and desecrating the dead.

Palestinians have to display their martyred before the camera for you to believe the atrocities that the zionist entity has subjected them to. they cannot even mourn in private. the apartheid entity murders them in cold blood, and you deliver the killing blow by doubting them.

babies whose families have been killed will never get to know their own name.

i can't reshare a tenth of the videos and photos that cross my timeline. i have seen more dead children in the past month than i have known death my entire life.

israeli settlers burn olive trees, bomb bakeries and fishing boats, shower white phosphorus and earthquake bombs on the captive civilians of gaza. you already know about the disastrous effects of white phosphorus, but earthquake bombs were last used during ww2 to wipe out entire cities.

how holy is the land that seeks to be built over the mass graves of thousands of children? is it holier than the miracle of a child being born in this hypocritical world?

all 11 universities in gaza have been bombed. academics should be agitating right now, especially those who call themselves "decolonial thinkers." destruction of universities is a sinisterly deliberate act to sabotage the Palestinians who will survive this great catastrophe.

the act of cleansing your hands before prayer is extremely important to muslims. no part of us can remotely comprehend the grief of the mother who refused to wash her hands from the blood of her children after losing them in a zionist airstrike over gaza. "I swear I won't wash them, I won't wash my hands, how else am I supposed to sleep near my kids."

it is only both moral and right when one side defends itself. the other side are the price of war, no better than insects and cattle and sheep left to die within the four walls of the slaughterhouse.

this situation should not be up for debate, but let me finish with one final thing : do your research about Palestine. HOWEVER. you do not need a degree in middle east studies to object to an ongoing genocide. if someone outwits you in a debate about historical details and every nuance of a subject, you were and will remain entirely correct in objecting to a genocide.

may those martyred rest in peace and be reunited again with their loved ones in heaven's eternal vastness.

DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE.

glory to Palestinian resistance. from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

Reblog this if you’re polyamorous, searching for a cryptid, trying to communicate with demons, willing to throw a Molotov cocktail at a police car, really want more tattoos/piercings, or just really love nonbinary people.

No one will ever know which one 👀

I was asked why there's a zionist claim that the Palestininian identity is not legitimate. And I think it's important to understand why Palestinians as a whole are seen as a threat by Israel. To understand why it's not about Hamas.

The claim is that the Palestininian identity was made up in order to push us out. Palestinian existence is a threat to the legitimacy of Israel as a country.

I was taught in school that Palestine was empty when we got here. They used a Mark Twain quote. It was a barren land full of swamps and some nomadic people (Beduins) but as soon as we wanted to come here, the awful antisemitic Arabs sent people to settle here before we could to take up the space. I was in school in the settlements though. I was taught the most extreme version of this.

Another version of this is that Palestine was never its own thing, they're just Arabs the same as all Arabs from the surrounding countries. So they could just... scooch over and give us the space, please and thank you. In Israel no one uses the term Palestinian. If I do, people roll their eyes and dismissively go "Arab." An Arab is an Arab. It's a way to strip away their unique identity and blend them in with the rest to say they could always move to Jordan, or Syria, or Lebanon, and it's all the same to them.

It's a way to make Palestinian existence by itself into a malicious plot to deny us a homeland.

Because if Palestinians exist as a distinct group of people, we aren't the only ones with a connection to this land. And you don't create an ethnostate by sharing.

You still hear echoes of this mentality. Why won't all these Muslim countries take the people of Gaza as refugees? That's asking why they won't let Israel make its ethnic cleansing more neat and convenient. Yes, refugees should be taken in and given shelter. But this question shifts responsibility away from Israel. Palestinians shouldn't be forced suffer either ethnic cleansing that leaves them as refugees, or a genocide.

Bassareus

Wise Bassareus, He who can never be hunted, You are the fox who is never caught, Whose body yields not to the snares and dogs of hunters, There is no situation that You cannot escape, No bonds that You cannot loosen. Dionysos, I pray, If ever in my hour of need hunters surround me, If ever traps ensnare my foot, Free me, let me run, And I will forever praise Your name.

[mephistos-stuff]

Areios

You are where the sounds of warfare become rhythm, O Dionysos, You were born to battle, From the torn-up limbs of Your body, The flaming ashes of Your mother, The birth pangs of Your father. Has there ever been a time when You could not stir the silent to madness, The meek to violence, When Your power did not course through humans, Turning idyllic peace to bloody chaos? O mad Areios, O Dionysos, Your mouth is bloody and foaming, Your eyes are fierce and vicious, Your hands are strong enough to tear limb from limb. Holy Areios, He who runs with Ares on the battlefield, You who brings the madness of war down upon the fighters, Give strength to those who must fight, Or else pass peacefully by.
