btw do you notice the difference between charles's and max's hands or is it just me going insane over this
because charles' hands are so veiny and big (cue how he held baby leo) and max's are a bit small and delicate and soft compared to his whole stature AND did you see how their hands look clasping with each other
sorry im having some very intense feelings im sorry
HELLO omg no, I also have very intense feelings about this and I don't think we talk about it enough!!!
I was actually having a whole pinterest spiral about this the other day, but it was during my self imposed tumblr ban, so I had to suffer alone, but I can yap today, and let me use this ask to do so
Okay, okay, okay so:
Call me delusional, I don't care, but you can kind of see the difference here in this picture with how they're holding their hands, especially with the veins and fingers
I'm telling you Charles' hand is bigger than Max's, I swear, I think Max just has longer fingers and it throws you off a bit
But Max just has these delicate, pretty little hands and I don't think this fandom talks about that enough, because it's not very top Max coded of him, and there aren't enough of us modern thinkers out there, but I'm here and I can and will talk about Max's pretty hands, and you will listen!!
Because LOOK
Look at his long, thin fingers and the tendons on the back of his hands looking so thin, and somehow his knuckles are just so ridiculously dainty
He just has hands made for shiny things, and he never wears any rings or bracelets, he's always just walking around with them criminally naked like this
But now look at Charles' hands, perpetually bedazzled as they should be of course, but oh my GOD
Because no just look at his palms are so much broader and he's got very noticeably thicker fingers that Max I'm telling you LOOK
It's just asdfghjkl, the forearms, the wrists, the watches, the bracelets, the VEINS
And I feel like we never get a good picture of them doing the handclap, but this one from Monza is so good.
Like look at how Max's hand is just swallowed by Charles'!!!
Like okay, call me ridiculous and delusional, and maybe these specific pictures are a bit research biased, but I don't care, this kind of delusion is an essential practice in fandom shipping to me
But idk, there's just something about how every part of Charles is just a little bit smaller than Max except his hands, (unless we talk about shoulders, but that's a whole different spiral)
He's just one centimetre shorter, he's just a tiny bit leaner, no matter how ripped he gets, I think Max's biceps will always be just a bit bigger than Charles', but his HANDS.
And there's also just something about how Charles never gets his fists out for anything, but in the mad max era especially, but kind of now even, Max is always two seconds away from throwing a punch even if he has hands that just aren't made for that kind of thing
I don't know, in that last picture especially, it looks like Charles' hand just swallows Max's whole
I need them to compare hand sizes right now. For science. And gayness. Mostly gayness

The new Lackadaisy hoodie is Purrcy-approved 😌
Ok but really, this is by far the nicest hoodie I have ever, and probably will ever have owned. And definitely the most beautiful! (And yes, both the brother @steamninja and I had to get one)
Embroidery on the sleeves AND hood lining? Gorgeous. (Cat fur not included)
More Purrcy behind the cut bc he is very cute
I think he's trying to become a scarf
Kisses for the good boy 🥰
He fell asleep on me 😭🥰😭

It's been incredibly difficult to hear from Palestinians in Gaza, not to mention center their experiences and platform their voices. Because ever since Hamas violently kicked the Palestinian government out of Gaza in 2007, it's denied Palestinians the right to free speech.
(Here's Palestinian human rights activist Hamza Howidy sarcastically wondering why Hamas isn't stopping the theft of humanitarian aid when it had the power to arrest him for a social media post within 4 hours.)
I'm working on a series of posts of Palestinians to platform. I came across this thread from someone who used Snapchat to talk to people in Gaza, so I thought I'd post it here in the meantime.
I've seen videos of Palestinians talking about not being able to evacuate because "Hamas has closed all the roads," a video of a Palestinian telling the IDF that Hamas has a car blocking the Salah-al-Din road (the evacuation route) and is pointing guns at people and telling them to turn around. But even as someone searching for Palestinian voices and looking for information about this, I hadn't heard that Hamas had been killing civilians trying to evacuate. (And probably reporting their deaths as part of the daily total.)
I mean, just the fact that the Gaza Strip is run as a separate country from the rest of Palestine is a huge barrier for Palestinians. It's hard to be accepted as a full member of the UN when your country functionally has two or three different governments.
(Confusingly, the PLO is considered the government of Palestine internationally. Abbas is the president of both PLO and the Palestinian Authority, so it sort of works as long as nobody has an election. But the fact that Palestinians have been denied an election for 18+ years, because Abbas keeps cancelling elections and Hamas is Hamas, is also a pretty big fucking problem.)
But it's also true that a huge number of the people in the Gaza Strip, while obviously having a big problem with the Israeli government, have at least as big of a problem with Hamas.
And for all of our decades of talk about Free Palestine, in the progressive movement, we pay shockingly little attention to that.
