bc of the fundraisers i am sorry that i ignore but i am a minor so i can’t really donate there yet…

i mean i understand and 1) i'm not talking about any specific person, i just notice a lack of interactions with the palestinians' fundraisers that i rb or highlight myself compared to, say, funny posts or other stuff i post 2) i know not everyone can donate and that's fine, i'm not saying everyone who doesn't donate is bad, reblogging these fundraisers posts is just as important bc while you might not be able to donate, maybe someone who follows you will be able to when they see your rb of the campaign

under the cut for a long transcript of me figuring an idea out on paper so forgive its messiness, but: kit momence of allllllll fucking time

"i've also been thinking about like - i think kit as the maiden in need of rescuing is like, well i'm never gonna do the trope straight up? but i like kit being rescued.

the scenario i'm thinking of also puts a focus/highlight on the roles he's been asked to play over time?

the idea: kit + others going somewhere in an area of more active conflict, & then they're surrounded by soldiers loyal to the crown. & rosi isn't there. it can be kit & thaja & nait, idk if it would be all of them though, & i think it would be more than just them, whoever has the biggest problem w/kit in book 1 would be there.

anyways. kit steps into his role as prince to save them, & it's the loudest & most any of them have heard him speak. he tells the soldiers to stand down, uses his rank to remove the threat, says the people he is with are voluntary informants, secures them better treatment, lax supervision, laughable restraints. gets the soldiers to verify his identity with their commander who ends up being someone that knows kit, through his time in school/training for the military. kit claims to have gone w/the resistance to get as much info & get as many people to turn as possible, that he knew he'd not be hurt, so why not make it last as long as possible?

kit + soldiers' direct commander + others w/ resistance end up in camp & kit is responsible for like, tying his friends' hands as a formality; for disarming them. they are held in a tent intended for that, & kit uses his status to make sure it will be easy for them to escape. thaja i think must be one of the ppl there; kit knows she can, as a bird, see when it's safe for ppl to escape.

& so kit leaves them ease w/which to escape, but he can't escape w/them. & he's having a meal w/the commander & commander's boss when it's discovered that the others have escaped.

and then kit is in hot water, because he had no exit plan of his own & getting him back before they move him somewhere more secure isn't going to be easy.

he is very hurt when they get him back, & he's not as phased by it as he should be. getting hurt badly at school for military? was very allowed. they would be healed, even if it was eventual - less quickly if it was due to their own error. when they get kit out, he is very bruised-battered-and his arm is broken in several places.

& he is silent.

rosi gets to go apeshit about it. i also think this is what it takes for things to get easier for kit, when it comes to being accepted by the resistance. thaja has been angry w/ kit bc kit acknowledges the resistance made the right choice not getting rosi out sooner, but like, can't hold on to her flat view of him after that. nait has not been angry w kit, but kit has not been able to see the chance for friendship there. & i want to think about how it is for jay. because jay hasn't externalized his complex response to kit AROUND kit, but kit is hypervigilant enough to have noticed, & kit has read into it incorrectly. & jay does still see kit as one of his kids, & kit finds out how valued he is, by the adults & by everyone, after all this. like, kit arrives. he gets brought back to the resistance & realizes it's a home for him too - the people who came to save him came to bring. him. home.

maybe his jaw is broken too? when rohi gets to where he is, & eliminates the guard - kit is there. kit is still. & when she goes to him & speaks to him, he answers in a quiet animal sound, unable to shape the words. rosi is so filled with anger she feels sick.

basem is one of the people who's there when kit does his brave heroic stunt - i think it's necessary for a close to the Adults in the kids lives' adult but not around every day adult to be present & raise the alarm upon the return. basem can observe how bad things are for kit- how bad they've gotten - as an outsider better than the people who see him regularly.'

[brief topic shift to something else]

'kit again: the juxtaposition of his meal w the monarchy's military vs the meals w the resistance. kit's inability to eat when he is rescued.'

[another topic switch]

'fuck back to kit: what's so important about this bit is the juxtaposition w/silas. silas was never truly separate from the fact of his nobility, but kipeter sees it as a role & a duty, & it's one he does not want & would not choose for himself but willingly steps back into when it's called for to help others. silas leaves duty behind to follow jay to the desert & steps back into a role of more power to meet his own emotional needs, not because he is thinking of others.

anyways. what i think i was trying to land on earlier is that kit is surprised they came back for him. he had accepted that he wasn't a smart logistical call worth rescuing.'

THE THING IS. KIT. THE THING IS THAT KIT. KIT A CHILD. QUIET WOUNDED ANIMAL SOUND KIT. KIT SURPRISED THEY'D RESCUE HIM. KIT WHO KNEW WHAT HE WAS WALKING INTO AND DID SO FOR THE OTHERS ASSUMING THEY WOULDN'T RESCUE HIM.

KIT

should i type up and post one of my evil little kit moments that i've written >:)
