Way through

I wish I was in a montage,

Or rather, at the end of it.

The part where I’ve already acquired the skill; succeeded,

The part that’s filled with ease

.

Instead I’m at the beginning;

The hard part of every success story.

 Ground zero they call it,

Long before the accolade and glory. 

.

I don’t know how I feel about it, 

My situation is too present to look back and laugh at.

I’m honestly overwhelmed;

Soo much to do and that isn’t even the hard part.

.

‘Where do I start?” 

That question is constantly reoccurring,

With no answer in sight.

I’m just in limbo, wondering.

.

‘Where do I start”

‘What are the steps; the processes?’

I’m soo eager to experience the success,

Without the struggles that comes with it.

.

But we all know that’s unrealistic,

Incomprehendable really.

This dunya is not supposed to be easy,

Expecting ease all the time is kind of silly.

.

We all know,

That every real success story has struggles.

This isn’t some TV show,

That only shows the clips without any hustle. 

.

This is real life, 

And real life is as painful as it is hopeful.

There is no montage time,

 Just a slow and steady way through.

.

I honestly and truly believe all good AUs should be a little “”””ooc”””” in the sense that good characterisation involves understanding that changes a characters backstory and circumstances will have an effect on how they respond to the world around them

Good characterisation isn’t about creating a perfect 1:1 canon replica it’s about understanding why a character is different in your work and about grounding the changes you do deliberately choose to make in canon character traits

guys i actually beg of you to not let palestine become an unpleasant flashback, a transient tumblr trend, a hasbeen subject that just faded away. as an arab—and specifically iraqi—girl, i know what it feels like to have family displaced all over the world as a result of western imperialism. i know what it feels like to not be able to step foot into your homeland because it’s no longer safe. as an american iraqi, raised in the us and insulated from my roots, it wasn’t until last summer that i was able to visit iraq for the first time, and even then my family was worried for my safety—in my own blood country. although nothing like what palestinians are experiencing right now, it might be the tiniest semblance of what it feels like to watch your country disintegrate in front of you.

and this is a universal arab experience. i volunteer weekly at a refugee center that serves middle eastern refugees, and every day i see the longing in their eyes when they speak of where they hail from. it’s safe to say that we will be getting a wave of palestinian refugees very soon: just another generation of arabs who can’t inhabit their own country.

arab culture is so rich, so profound, so beautiful. i am tired of being told by the world—through literal genocide—that it doesn’t mean anything. please never let this be forgotten. free palestine. free palestine. free palestine.

whenever i see another tiktok girlie talking about how she wishes to have been a fangirl in 2010s i feel like a seasoned veteran overhearing a foolish youngin boasting about wanting to go to war for glory and adventure. you naive little idiot. you know nothing. you understand nothing. you weren't there in the trenches. i have seen things, terrible things. i cannot plug in my phone charger at night without being plagued by the visions of Him

But if your favorite character isn't on the floor panting and dying and in horrible pain in a terrible situation then what's even the point
