The UN has made the claim that they distribute food in Gaza twice a week. They have made similar claims several times, explaining that hunger is still an issue because they are only able to distribute food two times a week.

However, some on the ground in north Gaza say this statement is dishonest. When the UN makes these statements, it implies that it is servicing the entire Gaza Strip. They are not. Due to Israeli blockade, absolutely no aid of any kind has reached northern Gaza in about two months.

People in northern Gaza are starving to death because there is no food, none. Some report having to make bread out of animal feed, eat cardboard, and drink seawater and dirty puddles. What little food can be scrounged up is not enough to support anyone’s nutritional needs, let alone those of 800,000 people.

If people in the central and southern regions are still starving, even with the UN and partners brining in food twice a week, imagine the state of people in the north. If even adults in the north are reporting severe hunger pains, imagine what children are experiencing.

The point of this post is not *necessarily* to lambast the UN, although there is plenty of reason to do so. Rather, it is to address one source of misunderstanding which is impeding some people’s ability to grasp the full breadth of the catastrophe in the north.

Thinking about the GO kiss (of course) and how that strange versatility of the pairing in general extends also to this. The fandom’s grief is so universal because each person sees in it exactly what will hurt them the most.

To this aromantic, Crowley’s desperate gesture looks like: “is this what you want? Will this make us real to you? If I show you I love you in the right way, the human way, will I finally matter enough for you to stay with me?”

if anyone's curious what adhd is actually like, twenty minutes ago I paused a video game to look up spoilers for it so I can get the Good Ending™, and yet now I find myself looking at pictures of anglerfish, with only vague memories of what happened inbetween these two points

god it’s soooo difficult to put into words but like. while lestat’s love and violence and emotional impulsivity could be stifling at times and even dangerous, it was his love and insecurity that was the problem. he didn’t want to keep louis on display, he wanted to love him and be loved by him. of course, problems arose because lestat is both a terrible communicator and has severe uncontrolled abandonment issues and rage and unresolved trauma, but his actions came from a place of deep, deep fear of being alone and wanting someone to love/someone to love him. he wanted to travel with louis, he loved louis for his hobbies, he loved sharing his interests with him and opening up when he could. he wanted him and louis to experience life, the world—together. armand is not like this. he’s obsessed and “in love” with louis the same way you become enamored with a rare bird, a priceless one-of-a-kind piece of art. he’s a thing to keep, to take care of, look but don’t touch, etc. like all of the art in his penthouse. he controls louis’ safety, his eating schedule, his time outside the house (which at this point seems nonexistent). he keeps the books out of reach. he keeps an artificial tree and light and pebbles to placate his deeply depressed lover. he doesn’t want to travel the world with louis, he doesn’t want louis to be out on his own, and he frames it all under the guise of protecting him. louis is reserved and depressed in a way that is so opposed to his depression in the rue royale era. whereas before he was incensed with guilt and anger and fear and grief and sadness, now he seems like an empty shell. his deep well of emotion, even negative emotion, has turned to apathy. and obviously this could very well be caused by claudia’s death and lestat’s disappearance, but armand very obviously is not trying to help louis. in this state, louis is at both his most vulnerable and his most likely to go along with armand’s whims, to sink further and further into that apathy because then his trauma won’t hurt so much. and it just plays right into armand’s hands…..

So I was gonna make a comic about Abyss Monarch being emo, but all I had were random jokes about it with no setup, so it just ended up being this

I think the idea was that in Kingdom, they were gathering all the Legendaries, and so Sea Fairy brought Abyss Monarch, who’s sitting in the corner doing their eyeshadow. They also hate being here

I know I said before it’d be neat having Abyss Monarch and Black Pearl be related, but at some point it shifted over to Abyss Monarch and Sea Fairy being related, I think because in my head it went “so Sea Fairy represents the sea, and Abyss Monarch represents the deep sea” while Black Pearl is more of a powerful creature of the sea

Though also, I think I might have done that for the sake of this joke, with Sea Fairy being like, “yeah, they’re going through some sort of phase right now” and Abyss Monarch’s like “it’s not a phase, MOM!” If it were Black Pearl, I feel like she would encourage this new behavior and be like “yes, give in to your hatred!”

But upon remembering why I said I wanted Black Pearl and Abyss Monarch to be related, I began to go back to that. Honestly I don’t know which one I prefer now, but I suppose it depends on whether Abyss Monarch is more “creature of the sea” or “representation of an aspect of the sea”

I know I’ve been beating the emo thing like a dead horse, but I think I just needed to get these drawings out of my system, and hopefully I’ll be good

But I just think Abyss Monarch being a little emo is funny

Also assuming their original name was Octopus, Abyss Monarch kind of does sound like an edgy new name, like you’d see for a stereotypical emo phase

Israel delayed the ceasefire.

They’re trying to kill and destroy as much as possible before the “ceasefire” (calling it that is a joke, it’s a 4 day pause on bombing, only for the plan to be them immediately resuming their genocidal activities the second it’s over)
