Look, I agree that trying to sell folks on original fiction by citing fanfic tropes is asinine, but at least "oh, it's got enemies to lovers!" tells you something substantive about the plot and characters. I once had somebody try to convince me to read a work of original fiction by telling me that it has a romance with a height gap.
This was published yesterday, which is the same day Israel had struck a school, a mosque, a marketplace, multiple residential areas, some within refugee camps, killing over 60 Palestinians. This was posted one day after Israel had assassinated 3 sons of Hamas leader Hanyeh and killed four of their children in the same attack.
So by "low intensity" do they mean ~100 Palestinians killed a day? How do I tell you that even 1 Palestinian killed is one too many and that, if this so called low intensity scale of killing continues for just 10 days, we will have ~1000 Palestinians killed by the end of it?
It's sickening to see how the continuous killing and genocide has been normalised with language that is so dehumanising. Not only are people not shying away from stating that they do not view Palestinian lives to be as equal as other lives, they're also publishing articles about it.
@thirteens-lucky-tardis once shared with me this adorable raccoon offering up a flower (dandelion??) and i have not been able to get it out of my head. i submit for your approval two versions: one a little closer to the real raccoon’s expression and one that has imo more skottie-young//shit-eating vibes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ thanks for the inspo rowen, you flawless perfect seashell, you sugary seasonal latte
rocket above is quite chagrined and trying to win you over
