also by the way i am always obsessed with how spider-people just click and can work together without anything being said in spiderverse . mcu spiderman being like "omg ive never worked in a team” “how are we going to work together” “well im on a team so i’ll lead us" like that was the most boring way to do it . spiderverse instead saying "we just know how to work together because our histories and lives are so linked, its like knowing someone your whole life. seeing the self in the other. our lives rhyme.” LIKE I LOVE YOU GUYS

There are several NGO-funded ships currently operating in the central Mediterranean Sea with the specific intent of saving migrants from what has been for years one of the deadliest migration routes in the world. Here is partial list:
Geo Barents (Médecins Sans Frontières)
Ocean Viking (SOS Méditerranée)
Aurora, Sea Watch 3 and Sea Watch 5 (Sea Watch)
Life Support (Emergency)
Open Arms and other ships (Open Arms)
Another important resource for migrants in distress at sea is the hotline AlarmPhone.
Since 2016 these rescue missions have become more and more onerous to fund as EU countries have progressively strengthened the Frontex program while at the same time criminalizing NGO-led search and rescue operations. (Italy has been at the forefront of this trend, and a shipwreck on the coast of Calabria in late February this year only managed to strengthen the resolve of the current government to make it even more complex for NGOs to try and rescue migrants.) So while it definitely won't solve the root issue, donating to these NGOs still has a tangible effect.

Honestly I cannot overstate how much seeing Hayden as TCW Anakin changed EVERYTHING. Matt Lanter's Anakin is a frat dude. He wears a backwards baseball hat and says vaguely offensive things without realizing, while being a fundamentally chill and outgoing guy at heart. Hayden's Anakin is... not that. His voice. His expressions. His physical presence. It's off somehow. It's just left of normal. It's completely unremarkable and yet deeply uncanny for reasons you can't quite describe. TCW Anakin was always a flatter, blander portrayal, but I don't think I realized until now what exactly was missing: the serial killer energy. The inarticulable conviction that SOMETHING unhinged is going on behind those eyes.

bf!riki x f!r 샌 warning. none + fluff requested (2) 🐰 seiu notes: it’s hard being a riki stan :0
“did i do something wrong?” riki sat next to you as you try to ignore him “no, do you think you did something wrong?” he looked at you with confused eyes, trying to think about every possible thing he could have done to make you mad, was it the ice cream he ate without you on sunday? no you already got mad at that and made up.
was it tuesday? no it was a pretty normal day now that riki thought about it. “are you on your period?” done, he has done it now, the way you turned your head towards him with absolute disgust in your eyes “what do you mean?” quick he needs to explain himself “no it’s just- you have been grumpy and i don’t know what to- wait is it because i ate your last packet of chips?”
“so it was you who ate it? and no i’m not mad that” he lays his head on your shoulder like a sulky baby “then please tell me what is wrong? i really feel bad” you can feel him pouting but not now you can’t just forgive him so easily “explain this then” a video of him during fan sign played where he asked the fan whether she wanted to ring the ‘doorbell’ aka touch the mole on his chin “oh this ah” there was a short pause before niki burst into laughter “hey what is funny?” you try to not blush at his reaction “is this a joke to you hmm” you turn your back towards him as he grasped your shoulder hugging you to bring you closer.
“were you jealous?” he asked kissing you cheeks “no-” he snuggled his head in the nape of your neck “no? are you sure”
“well maybe a little bit? no i am actually very jealous why would i not be when my boyfriend is out there romancing random pretty girls” you pout as he giggles “i could live a thousand lives and i would still not be enough for you, i would never find anyone more beautiful and amazing as you” he says as he hugs you close. you turn your head and kiss his mole “you’re too cruel i can’t even be mad at you” he chuckles “that tickles”
“i’m going to kiss all your moles” he looks at you with sparkling eyes “go right ahead”
“if i knew that stuff like that made you jealous i would have done it sooner” you looked at him “you mean ‘wouldn��t have done it’ right?” — “no i meant what i said, i mean i get to see your jealous sides and kisses, what else can i hope for” riki said as he smiled “you are hopeless” you rolled your eyes
“hopelessly inlove”

Angel Dust: You know sometimes I think I want to die almost as much as you want to kill me?
Alastor: You know what’s so fucked up?
Alastor : I was going to do an insult here like, “I definitely hate Valentino enough to kill you.” But I’m honestly not sure Valentino would even be sad if you died.
Angel Dust: Valentino would be sad if I died.
Alastor: Are you sure?
Angel Dust: ...
Angel Dust, Sighing: No—
Alastor: There it is.
