hey! for todays protest, i made this little zine about palestine (holding just simple and basic information).

you can download the zine here, fold it yourself, and distribute it around.

no credit is needed. feel free to leave it around bars, protests, or wherever. simply print it (borderless) and fold it. here is a tutorial on how to do it.

dont stay silent. there is a genocide of horrendous, atrocious proportions going on. also if you are a zionist here to argue with me, i dont plan to entertain you at all, not on my art blog. fuck off, you'll be swiftly blocked. i see enough of you clowns on my main and i have no energy for you. you can skip the death threats too bc i dont give a shit.

(i'm off to get ready for a surgery now, i just wanted to post it before this. if you need anything, i might take a bit to reply)

"Even before Laurent had hit the ground, the man had drawn his sword. Damen was too far away. He was too far to get between the man and Laurent, he knew that, even as he drew his sword—even as he wheeled his horse, felt the powerful bunch of the animal beneath him. There was only one thing he could do." -Prince's Gambit by C.S.Pacat

Damen: this is purely a political alliance between me and Laurent. Emotions have nothing to do with it

Nikandros, having seen every blond that Damen has fallen for in the past:

I know we keep saying "this doesn't change Midnights" but actually over the last month it's been settling in for me that Midnights very much feels like an album written by someone processing the end of a relationship - revisiting old pain, revisiting deep love, reflecting on a lonely future... I don't know. I think this breakup was a very slow burn and you can hear that on Midnights.

i love the way taylor is constantly like oh god how could you love me? i'm a fucking mess. then again, of course you love me, i'm the best. but seriously, please stay with me forever. not that i need to say that, i know you love me, you couldn't stay away from me if you tried. i do wish i could brainwash you into staying by my side though. god you're so OBSESSED WITH ME!!!

Damen as a tiny fat bird

“We lie awake in love and in fear, in turmoil and in tears. We stare at walls and drink until they speak back. We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren’t—right this minute—about to make some fateful life-altering mistake,” reads the album announcement. “This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams. The floors we pace and the demons we face. For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching—hoping that just maybe, when the clock strikes twelve…we’ll meet ourselves.

TAYLOR SWIFT’S tenth studio album “Midnights” will be released on October 21, 2022.

Sometimes I wonder if Nikandros had unrequited feelings for Damen in KR. It feels obvious but also like a far-fetched assumption. I mean I know he’s your friend and king and brother and all that, but you don’t react like that to seeing scars on your ‘childhood best friend’s back’? Then there’s the matter of Nikandros hating Laurent so much, which, fine, can be attributed to Laurent’s obnoxious personality, but still.

Then there’s Damen’s narration when he’s in Arles… longing to embrace Nikandros like ‘brothers’ when he goes home… only to act like the king when he finally meets him, and talk about it like something died between them. There’s so many other conversations between them too.. which I was too lazy to type.

But there’s one where Damen basically insinuates that he would do anything for Laurent in much the same way that Nikandros does for him. Which is very sketchy to say the least. Especially how Nikandros doesn’t have a response to that. Anyway. Idk. I would like to read a fic about Nikandros’ broken heart and angst, even if I’m imagining it.
