Between filming and documenting so much death and destruction, and working so hard to stay alive, Ismail Jood films Motaz Azaiza singing a song by famous singer faya younan. Ismail's caption said: "We try as much as possible to stay away from the atmosphere of war and try to create a pleasant atmosphere away from the suffering that we see every day."
The Song is beautiful, the lyrics go:
"Your eyes are my dream that will be // As big as the tired dream // As great as my country.
Your hands wave to the returnees // And bring bread to the hungry // I love your hands // I love your hands // And more and more... I love my country"
Words cannot describe how wholesome and beautifully human this is. Hoping they stay safe and sane🙏
has the huggable twee irritation always been a Thing or did it evolve in response to like, "you're not ugly. i'd fuck you" type comments? like in your personal experience
god, I'm not well spoken enough to describe it exactly the way it Registers In My Brain... but like. It's not the "you're not ugly, I'd fuck you" genre, and that type of comment is so easy to immediately dismiss because it always comes from a certain type of man, and it's like yeah yeah, I could throw a sandwich and you'd fuck it before it hit the floor. But also, that one's so specific, it's a bottom-of-the-barrel "compliment" that dudes will give when a woman has actively said something about feeling like she's unattractive.
The HUGGABLE THING. The oooh squishy marshmallow somft huggable mom shaped 🥺🥰 She looks like she gives GREAT HUGS. Those comments are UNPROMPTED. I'm immediately like. Every keyword you say, I kill another hostage. I will blow up this whole building and everyone in it.
Because it is SO FUCKING WEIRD. And I have heard it one million times. And I see it on every drawing of a character who's even remotely plus sized. These comments would not fly for a thinner person, they'd be rightfully received as weird. People aren't gonna comment on a picture of Ariana Grande going omg she's sooo huggable mom friend shaped. WHAT.
Simultaneously are desexualized and sanitized to a weird degree in that uwu language way, WHILE also being creepy. Like, why are you describing what you think I'd feel like if you hugged me? Like the only positive thing you can think of to say is that I look like I have some give. As strangers. I'm not going to hug you, I think you're a creep and I think you're giving yourself a big pat on the back for complimenting a fat person. What are we doing I'm arguing at the air. Where am I
And you're just supposed to go oh thank you that's so nice, because as a fat person, you gotta take whatever compliment you get, even if it is actually not a compliment. And that's the thing, there are SO MANY ACTUAL COMPLIMENTS TO PICK FROM. But people settle on huggable and somft. Was this person pretty? Were they hot? You could say gorgeous? Handsome, beautiful? Elegant? Stunning? Sharp? Sexy? Stylish? Are you trying to say that you're attracted to this person's body? Are we being horny? Do you think they just look nice in general? Can't we think of anything else to say? Or are we just gonna sit here and say they fuckin look like Santa Claus. Huggable like a pillow. Girl what the fuck
It’s Halloween Time!! You know what that means: time to drop my ultimate list of horror and horror adjacent movie recommendations!
As always, if you have any specific content you want to avoid (SA, pet death, decapitation, etc) I recommend checking doesthedogdie before watching any of these, ESPECIALLY THE DOCUMENTARIES!!!
Cup my face in your hands and whisper to me how I’m a good and strong and handsome dog. Squeeze that spot on my arm, hold me close, pet my back, just be with me. When you call me good, make me look at you. Make sure I know it. Don’t let me forget.
For a long time I convinced myself I wasn’t trans because I used to do stereotypical girly things as a little kid, but now I’m starting to look back and I realise I was always a boy. What I did when I was three years old had no affect on that. It’s sometimes really hard to convince myself that despite what my family says I am a transman because of the girly things I used to do. So I wanted to say for anyone who is struggling mentally because they like ‘girly’ things or used to do ‘girly’ things. You are still a man. You are just as worthy of being called a man as a cis man and for any cis men that enjoy girly things that does not make you less of a man. Sometimes it’s really hard to understand that especially if you life in a transphobic or misogynistic household but I promise what the people around you say means nothing. Only you are in you’re head and only you know what you really think.
Thank you so much for your blog and sharing peoples experiences you have no idea how much this community has helped me ❤️❤️
yes. this. i think at least one of you out there needs to hear this.
Your fics are soooooo good and I love your art it genuinely is amazing!!! Keep up the good work <3
thank you so much! 🥹
accept this very quick sketch of a surprised/shocked Cap as a thank you for your kind words 💜 (literally grabbed my ipad just for this, and ignored the mess in my kitchen that I was supposed to sort out - thanks for this too, it can wait 🤷♂️)
My attempt to draw my headcanons for their body types (and their thoughts on them lol)
In which they're flirting:
In which they ask the wrong question:
The writing under the cut
Haddock's thought for Tintin: Blistering Barnacles! Look at him! He's like a Greek god sculptured by Michelangelo! Hiding such a fit body under his buggy clothes... and his abs... and his freckles... HE HAS FRECKLES EVERYWHERE! GOD! ARCHIE! PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER! How do I dare standing next...
Tintin's thought for Haddock: Would.
Chang's thought for Chester: Good Heavens! All this muscle and fat and hair... and I lack all of them! I must look so ridiculous next to him... He is the epitome of handsomeness! Bet he doesn't even look at me as a man... more likely as a toothpick...
Chester's thought for Chang: *Error 403*
Chester: Hey! You lost weight! Good for you!
Haddock: Thanks! I'm glad all this running and chasing benefited me somewhere!
Chang: You have no hair!
Tintin: Shut up! You don't either!
Chang: At least mine is visible!
Tintin: You have no muscle!
Chang: I can still kick your bony ass!
Tintin: I don't get it! We're both red-haired! Why yours are visible?
Chester: Maybe because my red is darker and yours is more like strawberry blonde?
Tintin: What are you saying? Strawberries aren't blonde!
Chester: ...Have you ever been to a hairdresser...
Haddock: EAT SOMETHING! WHY ARE YOU STARVING YOURSELF?!
Chang's thought: I'M ALREADY EATING SO MUCH! SHUT UP! STOP ADDING SALT IN MY WOUND!
Did you know that you’re very cool? (I’m very bad at giving compliments)
But your art is amazing and I love all the comics you makes it’s great!

You're really funny. Your blog is great but I s2g if I see those unfunny YouTube white boy podcasters one more time I'm gonna lose it. They're not funny. Like they're so unfunny it physically irritates my skin. I don't know what you see in them. Are you attracted to them?? Is that why you find them funny? Sometimes when I have a crush on a guy I laugh a little more than usual too. Is that what it is? I've watched those little clips you've reblogged and I'm like 😐 every time. Are they billionaires? Like maybe it's the halo effect?? I genuinely want to know. Can you tell me a little about them? I need to understand the appeal.
i like that lately my blog has been like. 70% completely unironic Beatles rpf yaoi but thats not what gets me the complaint messages
