Dipper scrambled to his feet and stared at the women, she had dyed blond hair and looked to be in her late 40s and wore a lot of makeup. Probably to make herself seem younger. She wore a slimming body suit and had long, manicured nails. 

Dipper got an uneasy feeling. 

The woman smirked, “Well, aren’t you a good looking boy.”

“Who are you?” Dipper wrapped his arms around his torso. 

“I’m Missy, but you can call me Mistress.” Missy stepped towards him and Dipper took a step back. 

“Um yeah… I’m not doing that.”

“Oooh. Playing hard to get” Missy kept walking towards him and whispered “I like it.” 

Somehow the women managed to corral him into the center of the room near the chair and Dipper pressed himself against the back. Missy looked him up and down like he was a piece of meat and walked right up to him. 

Dipper tried to hosit himself over the back of the chair and escape but she placed her hands on his shoulders and pushed him down. She ran her hands down his chest. 

“Please don’t touch me.” Dipper said “who are you anyways?”

Missy smirked, “I’m here to get you ready.”

“For what?”

“Oh don’t you worry about that.” Missy winked and taped his nose. Dipper pushed her away and she laughed.“Feisty, I like that. You’re going to be a fun one.”

Dipper’s heart pounded in his ears; he wanted to leave, to get away but he was stuck. “Look… I don’t want any trouble… This was a mistake. I shouldn’t be here.”

“Oh sweetheart” the way Missy said the pet name made a shiver run down his spine. “You are exactly where you are supposed to be.” 

Dipper’s mind raced, trying to think of a way out of the situation. He scanned the room for any escape routes but the door was blocked by two large men. He was trapped.

Missy smiled like a predator who had caught their prey. “Strip for me.”

“W-what?”

“You heard me. Now strip.” She ordered. 

“I’m not going to do that!” He protested. 

Missy gave a nod to the guards and they walked right up to him, one of them grabbed him around the weist from behind and lifted him into the air. Dipper kicked and struggled but the other guard grabbed one of his legs and pulled off his shoe and sock before repeating the action with his other foot. 

“Put me down!” 

“I have to get those clothes off of you somehow” Missy said “I want to get a good look at you.”

“I-I’ll do it.” Dipper stammered, not wanting to be humiliated more than he already was. 

“You promise?”

“Yes.”

Missy waved a hand and the guard set him back on his feet and went back to their post, the women looked at him expectantly and with shaking hands Dipper pulled off his shirt. He avoided eye contact and he undressed, but could feel Missy’s hungry gaze on him. 

Soon he stood in front of her, eyes downcast, in nothing but his boxers. “When I said strip.” Missy said “I meant strip.” 

Dipper’s eyes widdened when he realized what she wanted but obeyed nonetheless. Missy circled him, looking him over, and he squeezed his eyes shut. He could feel her hands on him. 

“I was right,” she stroked his back, “you are very pretty.” 

“What are you going to do to me?” Dipper asked, his voice a bit faint. 

Missy laughed, “don’t worry dear, I’m not going to do anything.” 

Dipper opened his eyes to see her leave the room, one of the guards gathered up his clothes and then they left too. Locking the door behind them. Dipper wrapped his arms around himself and walked around the room, trying to find a way out. 

There was nothing, there were no windows or vents and the door was locked. The chair was bolted to the floor. Dipper crouched in the corner and shivered, trying to cover as much of himself as he could.

It wasn’t long before the door opened and Missy returned with the guards. She held what looked like some folded black cloth. “Here you are, doll” she handed him the cloth. “Put this on.”

Dipper unfolded it, worried about what it was. It was a black jumpsuit. He didn’t hesitate to pull it on, not wanting to be exposed any longer. Missy watched as he dressed, grinning. As soon as he was done the guards grabbed him and forced him down into the chair and used the leather straps to bind his wrists to the arms of the chair.

Author's Note:

I have never written a character like Missy before and I think I did well but harder than I originally intended. Though I really wanted to show what kind of character she is.

I mentioned this in the tags of a post the other day, but since NK is high profile and getting a lot of videos shared, and I saw someone today decry a short speech one of their rabbis gave as "extremist", I guess I'll make a post too

Neturei Karta is a Litvish Ultra-Orthodox/Haredi antizionist group. In my experience, they are the most high profile antizionist group that ties that stance to their religious practice within Judaism, but they are not the only group (the Satmar are also generally antizionist, and they're a larger group, but they don't like NK).

As I mentioned yesterday, there was an incident with Iran- one of two, actually, but this one gets brought up more- where NK sent speakers to a conference specifically for the purposes of defending the existence of the Holocaust, as several Holocaust deniers were in attendance. The speaker specifically chosen had his grandparents die in the Holocaust. However, he also was blunt in stating his opinion that Zionists used the Holocaust to oppress others, Zionists had been collaborators and thwarted efforts to save Jewish lives. This prompted the Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi to call for their excommunication, essentially, and for the Satmar and broader Haredi movement to tell people to stay away from them. These remarks are complicated; many incidents one could classify as collaboration were Zionists trying to move Jews out of Europe, to save lives. However, when the speaker said the third statement, I'm fairly certain he was genuinely expressing his own intergenerational trauma. Early Zionists did indeed, have a fair amount of animosity towards Orthodox Jews. At one point Theodore Herzl (a founder of the modern Zionist movement) did express the opinion that Jews should convert en masse to Christianity, and the feeling was that the Orthodox who refused should be left to their fate. This accusation is a response to a very real tension among Jews that existed at the time. And the collaborationism was not always about saving lives; the Lehi gang, which committed the Deir Yassin massacre, sought out an alliance with the Nazis on several occasions, and expressed a desire for a totalitarian nationalist state.

Another incident was one where NK met with heads of state in early 2006, particularly Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, after criticizing other Jews for referring to remarks he made as antisemitic, and did an interview with Iranian press where they stated the Holocaust was used as a political tool by Zionists, that Zionism is "not Jewish, but political", and that not all Jews are Zionists. They also clearly stated that when they say they are not Zionists, they do not mean withdrawal to 67 borders, but a full dissolution of state, where Jews still can live with Palestinians. Later on in 2006, Ahmadinejad made comments about the reality of the Holocaust that prompted Haroun Yashayaei, one of the most prominent members of the Iranian Jewish community, to publicly speak put against him (and no, he didn't get arrested over that. He actually is also a movie producer and got an award in 2008).

It should be noted that in West Asia and North Africa, Iran is one of only a few countries that still has a significant Jewish population. The others are Turkey (14,500), Azerbaijan (7,200), Morocco (2,100), and Tunisia (1,000). For those unaware, this is significant because during the 1920s and 30s, many colonial governments stripped WANA Jews of citizenship, and in the 40s-60s, many post colonial WANA countries forcibly expelled local Jews. As a result, the centuries long presence of Jews in countries such as Egypt or Syria is down a hundred or fewer individuals in many cases. Ideologically, I do not support Iran's government because it's a theocratic state that treats Kurds like shit, but all of NK's interactions with Iran must be contextualized in light of this. This is not me using WANA Jews as a rhetorical device either: my paternal country, Egypt, which I wish I could so much as visit, is such a country. The 2016 Iranian census puts the country's Jewish population at 9,826. That's a number that I would weep to see reported in Egypt, and the second highest of any West Asia or North African country.

Personally while I hold no serious ideological disagreement with NK over antizionism, I do not wholly support them for other reasons (gender/sexuality politics reasons primarily). I bring up these incidents with Iran because in the past I've seen people claim they are Holocaust deniers, or that they think Jewish people brought the Holocaust on themselves. I have never seen a NK member say ANYTHING of that sort, and the idea that Jews bring antisemitism in any form on themselves is in fact an actual belief Herzl held. The closest I've heard is when NK distributed leaflets after a Chabad was attacked in Mumbai where they criticized Chabad for being in bed with Zionists. I'll be linking some articles in the replies of this post about this, including the text of the actual speech given at the Tehran conference so it can be read in full.

Masterlist

It was June 1946, and it was the hottest summer in Iowa since the war had started.

You and Harry had opened all the windows in the house, hoping to let in some semblance of a breeze, but the air remained stagnant and stifling. You had resorted to foregoing a dress entirely, wearing the thinnest slip you had and simply praying that no one came to call on the two of you in your little house in the middle of nowhere, while your Bing had stripped down to just a pair of shorts and his undershirt, the glass of iced tea in his hand dripping condensation onto his bare thigh.

You can’t help but track the drop as it follows a path down the inside of your husband’s thigh to seep into the fabric of the worn armchair he’s currently collapsed in with his legs spread wide; the heat outside matching the building heat in your core as you take in his underdressed state.

He catches you staring with a knowing glint in his eye, setting his drink aside on the coffee table.

“Something I can help you with, Mrs. Crosby?”

Normally you would play coy, but something about the oppressive heat and the way your husband is sprawled out in that chair makes you want to try a different tactic.

“As a matter of fact there is, my darling Bing,” you purr, slinking over to his chair.

He eagerly leans up for a kiss, but you swerve, brushing gentle kisses to his cheeks, his forehead, his jaw… everywhere but his lips, where he really wants you.

Understanding dawns on his face, and his eyes fill with heat as he realizes it’s going to be one of those days.

“Honey, please,” he whines softly, a gasp escaping him as you trace up the inside of his thigh with one neatly manicured nail.

His hips buck up towards your hand, but you pull away quickly.

“Uh-uh,” you scold softly, tilting his chin up with two fingers so his eyes meet yours, “Not yet, sweetheart.”

He nods obediently, pretty brown eyes wholly enraptured by you.

“Good boy,” you murmur, brushing a kiss to the corner of his mouth before moving to kneel between his legs.

A soft whimper escapes your husband at the molten look you shoot him as you brush featherlight kisses up the inside of each of his thighs, his hands clenching around the armrests as he resists the urge to forcibly put you where he wants you.

You hear his breath catch as your mouth reaches the spot where his thigh and hip meet, still covered by his shorts, followed shortly by a desperate whine as your lips trace the same path back down his leg.

“No, sweetheart,” you murmur, punctuating it with a nip to the flesh of his thigh, “You were very bad when you were gone, remember?”

Your nails grazing lightly down his other thigh prompts a soft, gasping “Yes, yes, I remember.”

You reward him with a soft kiss to where your teeth just were, continuing.

“So, you don’t get to cum until I’ve decided you’ve made it up to me, ‘kay honey?”

He nods.

“Need your words, sweetheart.” You prod gently.

“I understand,” he breathes, desperation coloring his voice.

“Good boy,” you praise, and you descend.

You gently dig your teeth into the flesh of his thigh once more, nibbling and sucking a path along both of his thighs, peppering in gentle kisses as you go.

Your toes curl, wetness pooling between your legs at the soft whimpers, moans, and gasps that your husband is making above you.

Satisfied with the series of pretty purple marks decorating his flesh, you scatter several soft kisses across his skin before you stand, letting your slip hit the floor.

Bing swears softly as he takes in the sight of you, one hand creeping towards the prominent bulge at the apex of his thighs.

You raise a stern eyebrow, leaning over to tap his hand once.

“No touching,” you scold softly as he jerks his hand back to grip the armrest, looking up at you with pleading eyes.

“‘M sorry, honey, I just… you’re so pretty…”

“Being sweet to me won’t make me go easier on you, my love,” you murmur, though part of you melts at the compliment.

Your husband lets out a soft groan of “oh, Christ,” as you shed your panties and move to straddle his leg, slowly sinking down onto his broad quadricep.

You pull his face towards you, two fingers under his chin, to breathe against his lips.

“Remember,” you say, taking in his pretty eyes, pupils blown wide as you slowly rock back and forth on his leg, “You don’t get to cum until I say so.”

He nods frantically, a strangled “Yes” his only response as you begin to grind against him in earnest.

You can’t quite bring yourself to stifle your moans at the feeling of your core gliding along Harry’s bare thigh, and your husband’s already darkened eyes turn almost black at the sound.

“F-fuck, honey, you feel so good,” you gasp against his lips, praise tumbling from your lips as tension builds just below your belly, “Being so good for me, letting me use you like this—”

Your husband lets out a strangled moan, knuckles turning white from how hard he’s gripping the chair.

“Honey… Honey, please let me cum,” he whines after several minutes of your agonizing teasing, his breath hot on your mouth, “Haven’t I been good? I don’t—” he cuts off with a pleading groan as your nails rake down his back, your pace increasing.

“Fuck, I don’t know if I can last much longer, honey, please.” 

One of your hands comes up to grip his hair at the roots, dark curls deliciously soft under your fingers. You murmur against his lips as he lets out a soft hiss, “Make me cum first, baby, and then I might let you.”

 He moans into your mouth, flexing his thigh against you and causing you to gasp at the new angle.

“Oh, Christ, just like that, honey,” you groan, grinding desperately against him, a stuttering moan escaping you as you stammer “I’m— ‘m gonna—”

You muffle your cry in his neck as you reach your peak, grinding slowly against him as you ride out your climax.

Harry whimpers in your ear as your leg brushes his bulge.

“Sweetheart— please, can I—?”

“Yes, honey,” you say, pulling him into you for a heated, open-mouthed kiss as your hand dives into his shorts to wrap around his length, “Did so, so good for me, you can let go now, baby”

It only takes a few pumps, your hand slick with the precum leaking from his tip, before he’s spilling into your hand with a cry.

The two of you catch your breath, foreheads pressed together.

“Wow, sweetheart,” Harry says, huffing out a laugh.

You giggle, pulling him in for a kiss that you can’t help smiling into.

“It wasn’t too much, right?” You ask, pulling away to scan his face for any hint of unease.

“Not at all, honey,” your husband assures you with a sweet kiss to your forehead, reaching to pass you a rag sitting on the table so you can clean your hand off.

You stand, sliding your slip back on before settling in next to him, one arm wrapping around your shoulders and tucking you in close.

“So,” Harry says, a cheeky grin lighting up his face, “Have I made up for it yet, my love?”

You pretend to think for a moment, a smirk on your face as you reply.

“For now, honey. For now.”

A quiet moment passes, and you turn to press your lips to his shoulder in a gentle kiss.

“You know I’m not really upset about what happened when you were gone,” you say softly, fingers tangling with his, “right, honey? I know things were tough, things were… unspeakably bad, and you were doing what you had to do to stay sane so you could get through it and come back to me.”

Your husband lets out a soft sigh, squeezing your fingers with a smile at the reassurance that’s become routine after moments like these.

“I know, sweetheart. I—” His voice goes soft, gratitude seeping into every word as he traces your jaw with his fingertips, eyes tracing over your features as if he still can’t believe you’re real, “I thought about you every day when I was over there. I missed you so, so much.”

You lean into his touch. In the months he’s been home, you still haven’t been able to get enough of him being here, being able to touch you, and you in turn being able to touch him. 

“I love you.”

“I love you too, angel.”

Thank you to @vthx for beta-reading!

Eddie thoroughly interrogates his captive.

Eddie admired the sight of his handiwork. Stripped down to only a t-shirt and briefs, his captive was struggling, a futile gesture when he was tied so tightly. The ropes across his chest and down his spread legs held him fast to the chair, his arms forcibly clasped together behind the backrest. Eddie’s own bandana kept him in the dark of any movement in the room. With a glance at his watch, he figured he’d let his captive stew long enough. It was showtime.

He tapped his cane on the wooden floor to make the man aware of his presence. “As fun as it’s been to watch you wiggle around, I think it’s time to start the main event, darling.”

“Let me go! Please, I don’t know anything!”

Eddie smirked. His captive was cute, thinking that would change his fate.

“No, I don’t think that’s going to happen right now.”

Eddie reached over to grab scissors from the nearby desk. “See, here’s the thing you don’t understand.” He opened and closed the scissors a few times to let the slicing sound cut through the air. His captive tensed at the noise, vainly trying to figure out what he was doing.

“You’re going to tell me what I want to know.” Eddie closed the space between them. He rested his cane against the chair to grab at his captive’s tee and make a satisfying snip.

“I’m just going to have a little fun with you first.”

The torn collar uncovered a faded pink scar as Eddie scooped up a handful of fabric. He leaned in close to whisper: “And there’s not really anything you can do to stop me, is there?”

Not waiting for a response, he pulled, ripping the shirt open to fully expose his captive’s chest.

Eddie let his hands rove over the hair there, drawing his nails up and down to leave faint red streaks on the skin. He watched as his captive’s nipples pebbled in the cool air and enjoyed the quiet whine he let out when Eddie reached up to lightly pinch one.

“There, there. It won’t be so bad, will it? Looks like you’re enjoying this,” he said, not even attempting to keep the condescension out of his voice.

“No, I’m not, you sick freak!” Freak, huh? Oh, his captive was really asking for it.

Eddie pinched down harder, relishing the startled gasp he got in return. “Is that so?”

He slid his hand down and palmed his captive’s crotch through his underwear. Eddie smirked as he felt the soft cock plump up ever so slightly beneath him.

“Well, well, well, would you look at that, big boy? Someone’s been lying, hasn’t he?”

His captive tried to squirm away from the touch but with how tightly he was tied, he couldn’t escape Eddie’s hand; the friction only served to make his cock harder. “Fuck you!”

Eddie clicked his tongue in disapproval.

“Such filthy things out of that mouth! Don’t worry darling, we’ll have you singing much more sweetly soon.” At that his captive struggled even harder, at least until he placed the scissors flat on his bare thigh.

Eddie traced the scissors over the man’s legs and lazily circled a nipple. “I’d keep still if I were you. Wouldn’t want any accidents, now would we?”The man’s breath picked up at the touch of metal. Blinded by the bandanna, the scissors’ dull edges would feel sharp against his captive’s skin.

He made quick work of the rest of his captive’s remaining clothing, leaving shredded bits of briefs dangling in the ropes. His captive shivered, laid completely bare with nothing to hide behind. He tried to bring his legs up to cover himself, but Eddie’s knots held, leaving him totally exposed.

“Wow, aren’t you just gorgeous?” Eddie stroked a hand up one of his captive’s thighs and down the other. Despite his struggling and heavy breathing, the man’s cock had thickened again somewhat.

Before things could escalate further, Eddie slipped a lubed up silicone ring on to fit snugly at the base of his captive’s cock. One by one, he tugged his balls through a second ring, ignoring the whimpers of protest from the man in the chair. Once those were secure, he continued his prior fondling until his captive’s cock stood fully erect, bobbing with every minute movement of his body.

“There, now we can keep playing as long as I want, isn’t that nice?” he asked, flicking a finger against the man’s trapped balls.

His captive jolted, but if the hard line of his mouth was anything to go by, he had decided to try the strong and silent route.

Well, that simply wouldn’t do.

“Hey, I asked you a question. Don’t you know it’s rude to ignore your host?” He roughly grabbed at the hair on his captive’s chest and pulled.

The man jerked in his bonds. “Hey, what the hell?”

“I asked you a question. Isn’t. That. Nice?” He punctuated each word with another tug.

“Fuck you!”

“Do I need to get the scissors again?” Eddie kept his voice low and menacing. “There’s plenty of things we could cut off. Maybe I could replace my missing nipple with yours.” An even more evil thought took root in his head. “Or, we could kick things off by giving you a little haircut.”

His captive’s lips made a perfect “o” of surprise at the threat. “N-no, it’s nice. Please don’t—not my hair, it’s fine, great even, we can keep playing. Whatever you want.”

Eddie slowly stroked a finger up his captive’s hard shaft. “Mmph, happy now?” his captive asked as he stifled a groan.

“Hmmm, better. But I think you might need some stronger motivation to behave in the future.”

Rest the rest on Ao3!

rope divider credts to saradika, thank you

[babytarttdoodoo]

not sure if u do ship prompts so feel free to ignore this 💕 but maybe something where royjamie are caught making out by the himbos and there is much teasing. flustered jamie is a bonus. but honestly you could literally write anything and i’d read it💕💕

I absolutely do! Hope it’s to your liking 🙂 (I accidentally let some feelings get in here. Oops.)

Roy/Jamie, post-canon

Song rec: Do Ya

(Prompt Fill Masterpost)

-

“We’re at work.” Roy reminded Jamie lightly, not sounding nearly as annoyed as he wanted to be. It was hard when he had a lapful of gorgeous, handsy footballer.

“Training’s over.” Jamie countered, eagerly pressing Roy back into his chair, one knee propped on the seat between his legs and arms braced to stop him from rolling away. “Plus, it’s your birthday, you grumpy twat. Let me kiss you.”

“That’s the rule, is it?” Roy fought the grin trying to break free. He wasn’t very successful.

Jamie hummed an affirmative, eyes bright and smile wide, before leaning in to seal their lips together. He licked into Roy’s mouth with another happy sound, deep in his throat, when he was met with equal enthusiasm.

Despite his reservations about location, Roy would never actually be able to turn down being kissed by Jamie Fucking Tartt.

He did cut it short, though, when Jamie moved his hands up to Roy’s face and, without his grip as an anchor, the wheeled chair scooted back with wild momentum. To his credit, Jamie still tried to follow him but promptly sent a stapler to the floor with a loud clatter in his haste.

“Alright, alright.” Roy broke away with a placating hand to Jamie’s chest, breathing hard and glad he was wearing his loose tracksuit bottoms. He glanced at the closed blinds of his office. “Not fucking here. Anyone could come in.”

“Part of the fun, innit?” Jamie waggled his eyebrows but relented and straightened up. He stretched his arms above his head, causing his shirt to ride up and expose a strip of golden skin. Roy’s eyes followed the movement of their own accord and he licked his still slick lips, only half aware that he was doing so.

Jamie, on the other hand, clearly knew exactly what he was doing and smirked like the little prick he was.

“Y’know, I were the last in the gym. No one in the locker room when I came through. Haven’t seen the lads in, like, 20 minutes.”

Fuck. It was tempting.

Roy reached out and gripped Jamie’s waist, tugging him in. He came happily but pouted when Roy just used him as leverage to stand. “You’re a fucking menace.”

“Sorry, coach, but you knew that already.” Jamie grinned, no hint of remorse.

“My fucking fault, then?” Roy rolled his eyes and leaned in for another brief press of lips, forcibly keeping it chaste. It was ridiculous, how quickly Jamie could rile him up. “Suppose that means I’m taking you back to mine.”

Jamie’s face lit up. “You’re leaving early?” he confirmed, clearly delighted.

“Not going to get anything else done, now, am I?” Roy sighed, digging his thumbs pointedly into Jamie’s hips.

Jamie laughed and pulled him towards the door.

“I promise to be the sexiest little present you could ever unwrap to make up for it.”

“Is that right?”

Jamie stuck out his tongue cheekily and Roy couldn’t help himself. He wound one arm tightly around Jamie’s waist, the other hand going to the back of his head so he could hold him close and put that tongue to better use.

It was intoxicating, getting to have this after thinking about it for so long. He was only vaguely aware that they were still moving.

One of Jamie’s hands flailed around until he found the door handle, grabbing both it and the front of Roy’s shirt to manoeuvre them through the entryway without needing to break contact.

He was clearly eager to get them home. Roy was enjoying this moment just fine, though, and pinned Jamie against the now open doorframe. He pushed up against him and tugged on his hair as he deepened the kiss even further.

Jamie’s answering moan cut off midway, morphing into an urgent, distressed sound. He batted at Roy’s chest and he pulled back immediately, concern like a wash of ice in his gut.

Too much? Too aggressive? This was still so fucking new.

“What’s wrong?”

Jamie had gone pale, eyes fixed to his right. Oh no. Roy followed his gaze reluctantly, a growing sense of dread making each second stretch.

The whole team. The whole fucking team. Plus Keeley. And Rebecca. Oh, fuck, the Diamond Dogs too.

All of them, gathered together in the locker room, seemingly frozen in the act of lighting candles on a black-frosted birthday cake.

Shit shit shit.

“Uh.” A grunt was all he could manage. Unfortunately, a quick glance at Jamie confirmed that he was in no state to talk them out of this either.

The moment stretched.

“Surprise?” Keeley finally ventured, voice high and breathy. She shimmied her hands and it broke the spell.

Rebecca broke into loud, unrestrained laughter. A few others joined in, more still shouting over each other in a sudden explosion of sound. The words Roy managed to make out amidst the cacophony seemed split between declarations of being proven right, or complaints that this was why surprise parties were stupid.

No one looked angry. Trent Crimm looked entirely too fucking smug. But there wasn’t a trace of disgust or outrage on any face that Roy could see.

A weight he hadn’t really been brave enough to acknowledge floated right off his shoulders.

Reassured that they weren’t about to have to fight for their jobs, Roy turned his attention back to Jamie, who had startled when the noise started up and still had a vice grip on the front of Roy’s shirt.

He wasn’t pale now, a flush painting his cheekbones and the tips of his ears. His eyes were darting around, looking, Roy knew, for the same signs of rejection he had.

“Oi.” Roy squeezed his wrist gently. Jamie jumped again and snatched back his hands at the reminder of their proximity. He met Roy’s eyes though, a tremulous, hopeless smile in place.

Before either of them could say anything, Isaac’s booming voice cut through the room.

“Is this what all that ‘extra training’ was about?”

“Eh, no!” Jamie shot back, shoulders hunched up around his ears. “Look at me, you think you put on this kind of muscle in the bedroom?”

“Depends how you’re doing it.” Jan offered, which was a mildly terrifying train of thought Roy was not going to pursue.

“I can’t believe neither of you told me!” That was Keeley, somehow managing to look elated and put out at the same time.

“We haven’t told anyone.” Jamie whined. “Haven’t even told me mum yet. She’s never gonna forgive me.”

“I’m sure introducing her to Roy Kent will help smooth that over.” Rebecca said, eyes still bright with laughter and smirk firmly in place as she gave Roy the once over.

“I’ve already met her,” he snapped, the attention grating at him. “And it’s fucking new, alright? We didn’t need you lot sticking your noses in, and we still fucking don’t.”

There were a few grumbles but his typical Kentian reaction seemed to calm the rabble a bit.

“Question?” Sam raised a hand politely. “How long has this been going on, exactly?”

“About a month, I think.” Roy did a double-take and stared at Will, who had just cheerfully chipped in that (accurate) information from the corner.

“Oh, for fuck’s sake.” Jamie covered his face with his hands. “Boot room?”

“Boot room.” Will confirmed sagely and Roy just knew his own face was turning red now.

“Boot room?” Trent sounded even more smug than he looked. Roy growled at him.

He was quickly distracted, however, when he noticed cash changing hands among the players and - in a mortifying twist of events - Higgins.

“You had a fucking betting pool?” Jamie’s voice rose in pitch and volume, incredulous and offended. “I were over here, having a crisis about a crush on our manager and you were betting on it?”

He was looking specifically at Colin and Dani, who both shrugged.

“It was not a crush.” Dani argued. “You’ve been head over heels for years. It just took you longer than everyone else to realise it.”

“Look at it this way.” Colin continued, blithely accepting a wad of notes from Richard. “At least we were confident it was going to happen.”

Jamie glowered and threw up his hands.

“I regret everything. I never should have fucking come out to you lot. You- Wait a minute.” He stopped mid-rant, blinking at the all but forgotten cake. “Did you all plan a surprise party for Roy and not invite me?!”

A few people did at least have the grace to wince at that.

“Thing is, babe,” Keeley started gently. “You tell Roy everything.”

“Kind of ruins the ‘surprise’ part.” Moe agreed. “We figured you’d be with him, anyway. You usually are.”

“Which makes all the sense in the world, now.” Trent observed and didn’t cower nearly enough under Roy’s vicious glare.

Jamie pouted, tucking his hands into the ends of his sleeves. “Don’t tell him everything.” he objected petulantly. “I can keep a secret.”

“We know.” Sam sidled a bit closer, smile genuine and voice cajoling. “The point is, we didn’t want you to have to. Even if it’s a nice thing, it can be hard to keep something from someone you, ah…”

He trailed off, glancing between the two of them.

“Care about.”

That was oddly touching, Roy thought, but Jamie still looked on the verge of being genuinely upset. This wasn’t when or how they’d talked about telling people.

“Right.” He clapped his hands together, bringing all the eyes in the room back to himself. “If it’s my fucking party, then what I say goes. First off, no one breathes a word about this outside of the people in this room.”

He glared around, making sure the gravity of that statement set in. There wasn’t as much fear as there might have been a year ago but he thought there was a tad more respect, at least.

“Second, we’re going to cut the fucking cake now. I will blow out a single candle. No bloody singing.”

A round of nodding. More than they’d expected, probably.

“And third.” He slipped his hand into Jamie’s, easing his fingers out of their grip on his shirt’s fabric with the movement. “I don’t want to hear a single fucking catcall, innuendo or double entendre when we leave together, got it? Today or any other day.”

The team especially looked disappointed but enough of them seemed to have taken notice of Jamie’s defensive posture that there wasn’t too much outcry. Keeley raised her eyebrows at him and he rolled his eyes, hoping his blush had died down.

“Glad we’re all on the same page. Now get to it.”

A hubbub of activity took over again as everyone returned to what they had been doing when Roy and Jamie unexpectedly burst into their party preparations. Music started up from someone’s phone and the sound of a champagne bottle being opened triggered a bunch of cheers.

Jamie shuffled in close again.

“Thanks.” he said quietly, swinging their joined hands a little. “You didn’t have to.”

“They’re a bunch of muppets.” Roy told him. “But no one here’s out to get us. It’s not… I know it’s not what we talked about but. It’s okay, right?”

Jamie nodded, chewing his lip. “Yeah. Yeah, course it is.” He huffed. “Can’t believe those two just made a mint off of me misery.”

“Misery?”

Jamie turned a little pink again and knocked his hip against Roy’s. “Got drunk at the end of season party last year. Ended up spilling my guts to Dani about how I felt about you. He roped in Colin to deal with the whole bisexuality thing, and both of them were sworn to secrecy.”

It pained Roy a little bit, to think of Jamie pining unhappily while he was still getting his head on straight. Or not straight, as it were.

“I’m sure you’ll find a way to make them pay for it.” Roy offered and Jamie’s expression cleared. He narrowed his eyes at the lads in question and hummed.

That didn’t bode well for them.

“And, since it’s a special occasion, I won’t mind you having a drink and a bit of cake.”

Jamie properly brightened at that and (quickly, shyly) kissed Roy’s cheek. It was so much more innocent than what they’d been doing just a few minutes ago but it threatened to make Roy weak at the knees.

He shoved at Jamie playfully and he grinned as he moved away and let himself be absorbed into the throng of people. Sam slung an arm around his shoulders immediately.

Beard sidled up into the now vacant space next to Roy.

“I’m going to tell Ted,” he informed him, sounding almost apologetic. Almost.

Roy sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Fine. But if he sends me anything with rainbows on it, you’ll be the one fucking burning it.”

Suffocating in the Afterglow

Summary: Touya spent most of his time writing. His therapist told him it was the best outlet. He had been journaling ever since…he’d been journaling…well…everything. Every intrusive thought that he had…every negative thought that popped into his brain…he wrote it down. He wrote until he felt sick…and then again until he felt better. And…unfortunately…he’d also kept a journal that was specifically about Keigo…which Keigo had found…which is why they were in this fight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Touya knows he started this fight somehow. Keigo wasn’t supposed to find that journal. It was probably a number of things built up. Tensions had still been high ever since they got back together…after Touya was placed in a rehabilitation facility. Surprisingly, he’d been bailed out by his family, who begged for a lighter sentence from the Commission pending the mandatory two-year rehabilitation. To Touya…it felt more like deconstruction and brainwashing…the way they worked to strip him of his ideals…of his convictions…of his “villainous tendencies”. That was just the general rehabilitation that was standard for villains seeking to re-enter society. Next came therapy…physical and mental. At one point, his skin had once again been replaced, and he was prescribed medication to mute his Quirk. He was also given a robotic arm to replace the one that had been obliterated in the final war. When he finally got out of prison and rehab, the last person he expected to be waiting for him was Keigo Takami. 

It took time and effort, but they’d moved into a little apartment by themselves, away from prying eyes, living lives as normal civilians in a post-war world. Keigo worked at an insurance agency (some cushy job that the Commission gifted him as compensation for losing his wings completely), and Touya…well…no one wanted to hire an ex-villain with a kill count upwards of thirty…even if now he was just a scrawny, half-blind threat to no one but himself. Not that he could really leave the house anyway…not with how physically shit he felt. While Touya’s mind was struggling to heal, his body was having even more of a catch-up. Every organ had been damaged for the second time in his life…and the doctors had done everything they could. His nerves were fried so much that he could barely feel Keigo’s hands roaming his body…he missed it. It was still muted before the war…but…it felt more real. Part of Touya feels like he’s just living in a simulation, trapped within the empty nightmares of his past, but the realness of Keigo’s love always brings him back to earth. Keigo always cooks dinner when he gets home, and Touya always attempts to pack lunch for him to take to work in the morning. They focus on the little things in their lives that they never used to partake in…that they never got the option to partake in. The hero and villain were forcibly transformed into two everyday civilians. 

Touya spent most of his time writing. His therapist told him it was the best outlet. He had been journaling ever since. He’d been journaling…well…everything. Every intrusive thought that he had…every negative thought that popped into his brain…he wrote it down. He wrote until he felt sick…and then again until he felt better. And…unfortunately…he’d also kept a journal that was specifically about Keigo…which Keigo had found in a drawer when he came home from work…which is why they were in this fight. 

“‘All Keigo talks about is work and I’m not sure we have anything in common?’ ‘How can I live with myself when the man I love killed one of my best friends?’ ‘Sometimes I think about disappearing…and how much it would hurt Keigo…and I can’t decide if I would care’ ‘Keigo made me upset this morning. I should’ve killed him’?! What the FUCK, Touya?! What is all this shit?!” Keigo shouts angrily, eyes filled with an icy mixture of fury and terror. Touya’s standing in the doorway of their bedroom, legs feeling like jelly, stomach dropping, heart bursting in his chest as bloody tears well up in his scarline. He still cries blood…they couldn’t repair his fucked up tear ducts despite all the other surgeries. Keigo’s eyes continue scanning page after page…and each one, he rips out and crumples it in his hand. Each paper tear makes Touya flinch. It makes him sick. He didn’t expect Keigo to be so infuriated…if anything…he was expecting some sort of remorse. Some sort of closure. After all, it was Keigo’s fault that he felt this way. It was Keigo who betrayed him first. He’s waiting…waiting for Keigo to finally reach the center of the journal…two pages that Touya often came back to in his darkest moments…especially after fights like this one. It’s two pages of things he swore he’d never talk about with Keigo…two pages of facts that he can barely live with.

“How long have you been hiding this from me?! I mean, I know you have these journals from therapy, but seriously, what the fuck, Touya?! It’s like you don’t even care about-”

‘There it is,’ Touya thinks, swallowing a sob as Keigo stops his vitriolic rant short, eyes scanning the two pages that have been scrawled over repeatedly with the words “Keigo should hate me. I deserve it. Keigo hates me. I hate myself. I’m the reason Keigo doesn’t have his wings. My fault. My fault.” The rant rambled on, but the gist was the same. Dark, dark pen marks…scratching out his own name with black ink. Touya can’t look his partner in the eye, and he stares at the floor, lip trembling, wishing he could rip off his skin for good once and for all. Keigo’s gaze lifts from the pages, anger replaced with concern; he can’t help his old tendencies to completely disregard himself when someone needs help…and Touya quite clearly, desperately needs help. Touya’s glasses fog up…and…he realizes that he’s finally crying. Hot crimson tears drip down his face, and he feels like his chest is caving in on itself. With a strangled cry, Touya collapses, falling to his knees and putting his forehead down on the floor as he pulls at his hair. 

“I-I’m sorry!” He cries out over and over between sobs as the white strands start coming loose in his fingers. 

Thunk.

Keigo drops the journal. 

“Shhhhh, shhhhh,” He whispers, running to Touya and squatting down beside him, frantically trying to grab at his hands so he stops tearing his hair out. Touya struggles for about five seconds before he gives up, still keeping his head down. 

“Fuck, Touya, stop it!” He harshly orders, holding his wrists tightly. Touya shakes, waves of pure anxiety and muted aches rolling through his body. He’s not supposed to get this worked up anymore; it’s dangerous for him. 

“I don’t…I don’t want to think those things,” Touya’s voice rasps out, choking on his own tears and spit as he gasps between agonized wails. “I…I…I’m sorry!” He cries out, unable to bring himself to look Keigo in the eyes. He wishes he could just disappear into the ether. He wishes he never survived Sekoto…wishes AFO had never found him…wishes he’d never met Keigo in the first place because then he would’ve never experienced romance and then the visceral heartbreak that inevitably follows it. He doesn’t know why he thought any of this would work. He’s a fucking monster. He’s always been a monster. Born into a body that was wrong in so many ways. He was a mistake. A failed experiment. A monstrosity. Why should Keigo love him? After everything? Touya almost screams when he feels Keigo’s calloused hand rubbing his back…he can feel the anger in it…anger behind the urge to comfort Touya. Touya hates this about Keigo. Even when he’s mad, he’ll still do the right thing. It doesn’t make sense…especially when Touya can never do that. He can’t not give in to his emotions. He’s always been this way. Why does it all come so fucking easy to Keigo? It’s not fair…it’s not fair…

“Touya?” Keigo repeats his lover’s name, trying to bring him out of whatever sudden panic he’s been consumed by. He can’t pull him out of it. He’s done this before; it’s almost always impossible to pull him out of it. He’s just gotta wait until it’s over…all he has to do is breathe and hold him until it’s over. 

“Touya?” Keigo says again, but Touya’s clearly not in his right mind right now, chest heaving and blood flowing down his face, refusing to lift his head off the floor.

“I-I-I,” Touya stammers, unable to form a sentence as he tries to avoid hyperventilating. His cloudy eyes unfocus even more, and Touya sniffles before mumbling:

“I wanna go home.”

Keigo blinks.

“You are home,” Keigo replies uneasily. 

“I wanna go home and play with Natsuo,” Touya whines like a child, and Keigo’s posture stiffens. 

This happened occasionally…Touya would spontaneously experience regression. It came in waves, only whenever he was under extreme stress. It was a side effect of everything that had happened…hell, it had even happened when he was burning himself to death on the battlefield, fighting his family. Keigo gently spins Touya around and takes his chin in his hands, gently lifting it up to look at him. Touya seems to be staring through him, eyes distant and bottom lip trembling into a pout. A deep intrinsic part of Touya wishes so desperately that he could fully grasp the glow of his lover’s gorgeous golden eyes. His vision hadn’t been the same since Sekoto, but at least before the final war, he’d been able to grasp the beauty of Keigo’s eyes clearly up close.

Keigo remembers the vibrant colors Touya’s eyes used to have, like they held the oceans themselves within them. If he squints, he can still see the turquoise sheen glittering behind the white glaze. Keigo knows if he called any of Touya’s siblings…if he called Rei…that they would rush to aid immediately during one of Touya’s breakdowns. But…he’s not sure he wants that right now. He’s the one who used to be the number two hero. He’s the one that should be helping Touya get through this. With a sigh that holds a thousand words, he pulls Touya in for a hug, one hand at his back and the other at the back of his head, cradling it. 

“I’m right here, Touya. I’m right here,” Keigo whispers, trying to quiet his own vexed mind. Anger still boils in his blood, but…the years that Touya was in rehab, he realized just how much he cared about the ex-villain. He needs help right now…and being angry will just make everything worse.

“I wanna apologize to Mom,” Touya snivels, his voice sounding muffled in Keigo’s chest.

“You already did, baby. Everyone’s forgiven you…I’ve forgiven you,” Keigo hushes, running one hand through Touya’s soft fluffy locks and rubbing his back with the other. Touya shudders, bloody tears dripping down his face and staining Keigo’s sweater as he desperately tries to get ahold of himself. 

“You’re safe, starlight. I’ve got you,” Keigo hums softly, rocking back and forth on his heels as he caresses his lover, trying to provide the comfort he’d been deprived of for the majority of his life. 

“I don’t…feel good,” Touya whimpers, shaking and crying like a toddler as he leans into Keigo’s embrace. His twisted, aching heart that’s been broken and mended through the years throbs in his chest, at risk of shattering yet again. He feels so worthless…he feels…vulnerable…and... 

Keigo senses Touya fully deadweight in his arms…and goes into panic mode. 

“Touya?” Keigo blurts, pushing him backward to look him in the eyes before realizing that Touya fainted. 

“Goddamnit,” Keigo chokes out, tears welling up in his eyes as he pulls Touya close, cradling him as he picks him up off the floor bridal style. Touya’s body hasn’t been holding up very well; what he lacked in physical feeling he made up for tenfold emotionally and mentally…which didn’t bode well when he became so overcome with anxiety that he’d pass out. Keigo stares at Touya’s unconscious form…looking so serene…and so exhausted. Truth be told, he doesn’t know how much longer he has with Touya; if he keeps putting stress on his heart…Keigo doesn’t even want to imagine what might happen.

The blonde grunts as he stands up, walking to the bedroom with the love of his life in his arms. Carefully, he sets Touya down on their bed before walking into the bathroom, running warm water over a rag. He returns to the bedside, gently blotting the streaks of blood off of Touya’s face. Through it all, he never stirs.

“What am I gonna do with you?” Keigo sighs as he stares at his partner. He pushes the snowy strands of hair plastered to Touya’s sweaty forehead out of his face. He hates this situation…the rampant raging hellstorm that their lives have always been…that they will forever be…and yet…their love transcends it all. Through the unrelenting torrent, their love prevails. Fate has tried to tear them apart over the years…throwing them in opposite directions and snapping them back together in an explosive apocalyptic collision. Somehow, they always find each other when the smoke clears, running back to embrace in the middle. 

Keigo climbs into bed beside Touya, resting on his side to watch over him, eyes locked on the simple staggering rise and fall of his chest. Keigo pulls the comforter over the both of them, scooting closer to press a soft kiss to Touya’s temple.

“I love you…so much,” Keigo murmurs wistfully, golden eyes softly boring into the ex-villain. His heart twists…the hospital workers and rehabilitation staff keep insisting that Touya will still live a full life despite everything that’s happened, but that doesn’t stop Keigo from worrying. Ever since the war, his optimistic persona has disintegrated. 

He’s lost everything…his mentor…his career…his Quirk…his family…his life…he can’t lose Touya, too…

…

…

When Touya regains consciousness, it’s already the next morning. He slept through the night after passing out; his body desperately needed a recharge. The white-haired man sleepily blinks awake, turning to see Keigo sitting up next to him in their bed, eyes glued to the TV as he sips a cup of coffee. What Touya can’t see are the dark circles under Keigo’s sunken eyes from staying up all night watching over his partner. The blonde’s attention flickers to Touya immediately, and he reaches over, grabbing a bottle from the nightstand as he helps Touya sit up. 

“Drink,” Keigo mumbles, his voice scratchy and breathy. Touya eagerly takes the bottle and gulps it down slowly. Whatever it is, he can’t taste it, but it makes him feel like he’s alive again. The memories of last night come floating back into his mind, and Touya takes a deep breath, trying not to dissolve into another fit. 

“I’m sorry,” He whispers under his breath, but Keigo doesn’t answer. He sits with it, letting the past twelve-something hours settle deep and heavy in his chest. Keigo leans over Touya, cupping the side of his face before tenderly connecting their lips. Touya shudders, hands instinctively wrapping around the back of Keigo’s neck, massaging the scar that spreads down to his entire back. His gut reaction every time Keigo kisses him is to pull him close…close as humanly possible…to make sure he never pulls away first. After a few seconds, Touya releases his grip.

“You weren’t the one who took my wings. All For One did. Please…don’t blame yourself,” Keigo sniffs, swallowing hard. He doesn’t want to cry in front of Touya…not right now. Touya inhales sharply, trying his best to listen to Keigo’s words…to believe them…and ignore what his own darkness vehemently reminds him. 

“I…I love you, Keigo…I promise…I really do love you,” Touya’s voice breaks, speaking with his tattered heart.

Keigo, once again, doesn’t answer him right away. Keigo knows how much Touya loves him… how much he’s always loved him. If he didn’t, Keigo’s betrayal during the Paranormal Liberation War wouldn’t have affected Touya so viscerally. If he didn’t, they wouldn’t be sitting in this bed together after everything they’ve been through. Their relationship is…complicated. It’s always been complicated. Touya and Keigo are two separate sides of the same coin…of course it’s not going to be easy. Keigo knew this when he’d decided to show up with flowers when Touya graduated rehab. Keigo knew this when some of the most instrumental people in his life tried to talk him out of it. Despite everything, they are making this chaos-filled trainwreck work. And, most importantly…they’re both trying. They both want the trainwreck to work. Keigo brushes back Touya’s hair from his face before murmuring:

“I love you too, firefly.”

Alma 9:16-17 - Traditions of their Fathers :

16 For there are many promises which are extended to the Lamanites; for it is because of the traditions of their fathers that caused them to remain in their state of ignorance; therefore the Lord will be merciful unto them and prolong their existence in the land.

17 And at some period of time they will be brought to believe in his word, and to know of the incorrectness of the traditions of their fathers; and many of them will be saved, for the Lord will be merciful unto all who call on his name.

————————————————————

In these verses, Alma declares that the Lamanites are kept from many promised blessings due to their ignorance, which is the result of traditions handed down to them from their ancestors, but at some future point they'll learn the truth, reject the false traditions, and be greatly blessed.

The Lamanites grew up learning that they had always been wronged by the Nephites, which prompted them to hate and fight against the Nephites.

Traditions are powerful forces in our lives, whether they are based on truth or not. If they are false, they drag us down and threaten others. Being taught to hate and fear groups of people is passing on false traditions.

This reminds me how after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, innocent American citizens of Japanese descent were forcibly removed from their homes, stripped of their property, and unfairly imprisoned. Today, many Americans are suspicious of, or outright hateful, of anyone appearing to be of Middle Eastern descent, which results in violence against them simply for where they or their parents have come from.

People in our church cling to false traditions which cause them to be close minded and ignorant about specific groups, including queer people. Much of what was preached about queer people has been disproved, yet many continue to find comfort in the false traditions rather than to open their heart and treat others how they would want to be treated. Sadly, many preach love but actually do and say hateful things.

Fortunately, there are a growing number who are choosing to follow their hearts and the truth and disregard the false narratives they were taught. Over the past decade, many members of the LDS Church have come out as queer, their stories are shared online and in podcasts and church firesides, queer people are no longer strangers. Latter-day Saints are seeing that the reality of the person in front of them is different from what they were taught.

Many great blessings are still denied to queer Mormons due to the false traditions of our forefathers, but a growing number of church members are coming "to know of the incorrectness of the traditions" and seeing that God's love is meant for everyone.

[soon-palestine]

Seventy-five years ago, Zionist militias tore through Palestinian villages, massacring the villagers and expelling those who remained alive, to clear the way for the creation of the state of Israel. An estimated 15,000 Palestinians were killed and hundreds of thousands fled their homes to live as refugees in other parts of Palestine or neighbouring countries, an event known by Palestinians as the Nakba – “the catastrophe”.

On April 9, 1948, just weeks before the creation of the State of Israel, members of the Irgun and Stern Gang Zionist militias attacked the village of Deir Yassin, killing at least 107 Palestinians. According to testimonies from the perpetrators and surviving victims, many of the people slaughtered – from those who were tied to trees and burned to death to those lined up against a wall and shot by submachine guns – were women, children and the elderly. As news of the atrocities spread, thousands fled their villages in fear. Eventually, some 700,000 Palestinians would flee or be forcibly displaced at the outset of Israel’s creation, making the massacre a decisive moment in Palestinian history.

[.]

According to a 1948 report filed by the British delegation to the United Nations, the killing of “some 250 Arabs, men, women and children, took place in circumstances of great savagery”. “Women and children were stripped, lined up, photographed, and then slaughtered by automatic firing and survivors have told of even more incredible bestialities,” the report said. “Those who were taken prisoners were treated with degrading brutality.” Israeli historian Benny Morris said the militias “ransacked unscrupulously, stole money and jewels from the survivors and burned the bodies. Even dismemberment and rape occurred.” The number of dead is disputed but ranges from 100 to 250. A representative of the Red Cross who entered Deir Yassin on April 11 reported seeing the bodies of some 150 people heaped haphazardly in a cave, while around 50 were amassed in a separate location.

Prominent Jewish intellectual Martin Buber wrote at the time that such events had been “infamous”. “In Deir Yassin hundreds of innocent men, women and children were massacred,” he said. “Let the village remain uninhabited for the time being, and let its desolation be a terrible and tragic symbol of war, and a warning to our people that no practical military needs may ever justify such acts of murder.” Morris noted that “Deir Yassin had a profound demographic and political effect: It was followed by mass flight of Arabs from their locales.” News of the massacre spread panic among the Palestinians, prompting hundreds of thousands to flee. Four nearby villages were next: Qalunya, Saris, Beit Surik and Biddu. Deir Yassin was no mistake, according to Israeli historian Ilan Pappé.

“Depopulating Palestine was not a consequential war event, but a carefully planned strategy, otherwise known as Plan Dalet, which was authorised by [Israeli leader David] Ben-Gurion in March 1948,” Pappé wrote. “Operation Nachshon was, in fact, the first step in the plan.” The massacre unleashed a cycle of violence and counterviolence that has been the pattern since. Jewish forces have regarded any Palestinian village as an enemy military base, which has paved way for the blurred distinction between massacring civilians and killing combatants, according to the historian.

Israeli historians and Israeli society have been able to admit to the massacre in Deir Yassin by attributing it to the right-wing group Irgun, but have covered up or denied other massacres – notably the one in Tantura in 1948 – carried out by the Haganah, the main Jewish militia from which the current-day Israeli military has evolved.

[.]

Despite this shift of blame, leading human rights organisations like Human Rights Watch (HRW) and Amnesty International have labelled Israel itself an apartheid state. “We reached this determination based on our documentation of an overarching government policy to maintain the domination by Jewish Israelis over Palestinians,” HRW said in 2021. “As recognition grows that these crimes are being committed, the failure to recognize that reality requires burying your head deeper and deeper into the sand,” it added. “Today, apartheid is not a hypothetical or future scenario.”

Addition to the previous one: Caretaker pushing through the crowd of people and shoving those pinning them down out of the way before engulfing Whumpee in a hug. After months of no kindness whatsoever, Whumpee just breaks.

Whumpee initiating a hug for the first time since their rescue.

Whumpee getting to see their friends/family/pets for the first time since their rescue.

Whumpee doesn't let anyone touch the muzzle on their face or the collar around their neck for days after their rescue, but finally they're able to kneel down in front of Caretaker and quietly ask for permission for it all to come off.

Whumpee being forcibly stripped from their clothes in front of someone they love.

That moment when two whumpees are reunited with each other. Whumper drops the first Whumpee on the floor in their cell and the second one comes scrambling over to engulf them in a hug and comfort them.

Whumpee doesn't know that Caretaker was whumped until their whumper shows up one day and teases them about it. Letting Whumpee in on all the secrets Caretaker has tried so hard to hide...

Rg drabbles #2: Preparation

Oscar took a deep breath, steeling himself before he raised a hand towards a heavy looking wooden door. He was alone now, Aunt em having turnt back after helping him carry the load, if he looked back he could probably spot her but it wouldn’t be long now before she was out of sight. 

He hesitated, wanting nothing more but to turn his back to the door and call her back to help him, but he wouldn’t, he had to do this alone. Realistically, he didn’t have to and Aunt Em would gladly help him if he booked it down the road to catch up to her and asked. Even if it would ease some of his anxiety, it felt weird to ask her for help with this part. She had helped enough already.

Before he could chicken out any further he rapped his knuckles on the door thrice, waiting for a response. And then waiting some more, and a little more, for a response that didn’t come. He stood there in awkward silence with nothing but his thoughts for a good bit, when he realised he should probably knock again.

And so he knocked, harder this time.And then proceeded to have his soul forcibly stripped from his body when he felt a hand come down on his shoulder.

“Oscar!” Taiyang said enthusiastically, patting him on the shoulder.

“Ah, good after- good morning Mr. Xiaolong,” he stuttered out, face already starting to flush from embarrassment.

“Sorry I didn’t hear you earlier, I was out in the garden. These plants won't take care of themselves ey?”

“It’s fine, I haven’t been here for long anyway,” he reassured him, waving off the apology.

“Excuse me,” he says, stepping around Oscar to get to the door before he unlocked it and made his way inside. “Aren’t you gonna come in?!” Taiyang called out from inside.

“Coming!” Oscar startled, closing the door behind him after he hurries inside and slips off his outside shoes.

He slowly made his way into the house, stopping in the middle of the living room unsure of what to do before Taiyang popped out from the kitchen carrying a tray that he rests on the table.

“You didn’t have to wait for me, come now have a seat,” he said, gesturing for Oscar to take a spot on the couch before sinking into a corner of the couch himself.

“Ah, thanks!” He blushed before rubbing the back of his head awkwardly, dreading bringing up today’s topic. “Did you have a reason to visit or did you just come to keep little old me company?” Taiyang teased, looking thoroughly amused at Oscar’s shyness.

The embarrassed flush spreaded to the top of Oscar’s ears before he placed a potted plant on the table next to the tea tray and slowly pulled out two ornate looking bags both green in colour with yellow embroidered details running along the seams of the bags before offering it to Taiyang. “Thank you?” Taiyang’s eyebrows shot up in surprise as he accepted the bags, the first one being much heavier than the second.

Oscar cleared his throat, steeling himself before he started “Sir, I’ve come here today to ask-to ask for your daughter Ruby Rose’s hand in marriage” 

He gestures to the gifts before continuing “The plant is almost mature and should be able to bear strawberries by next spring, the first bag has a few pieces of uncut jade and- and silver jewellery. 

He clasped his hands and looked down to his lap, “The second has fresh tea leaves, and a few sweets I made- well tried to make myself.” The last part of his sentence is quieter than the first.

“Oscar,” Taiyang prompted, waiting for him to look up.

“I would be happy to have you as my son, just as I’m sure Ruby would be elated to have you for a husband,” he started gently before he clasped Oscar’s hands in his. Oscar looks up, surprise coating his face. 

“Are you- are you sure?” He asked almost incredulously, eyes wide and mouth dry. “Of course, as well as the fact I’m sure Ruby would try and convince Yang to help set something on fire if she ever found out I had said no”

“Oh gods, I forgot about Yang!” Oscar exclaimed, dragging a hand down his face right before the doorbell rang. “Well would you look at that! Perfect timing, now’s your chance.” Taiyang chuckled, getting up to peer out the window.

“Looks like Yang’s here,” he said just before the lock rattled and someone cursed outside.

Oscar silently resigned himself to a fiery death, via Yang.

Surprisingly, that didn’t happen at all, in fact by the end of the day she was just about his biggest supporter. (Y'all want the proposal fic?? lmk)

lay me down

some raindrop hurt/comfort for @forlorn-crows aftercare prompt. because sometimes sex doesn't go quite as planned, and that's okay.

rating: explicit pairing: dom dew / sub rain word count: ~1000

read on AO3 or below

--------------------

“I want you to treat me rough tonight.”

As Dew walked down the hallway toward Rain’s bedroom, he thought back to the water ghoul’s words from earlier. Rain had sidled up next to him in the kitchen, whispering them shyly in his ear. Dew had immediately felt a pang of want inside and smiled dangerously. “Be careful what you wish for, Rainy,” he told him, his dark tone at odds with the chaste kiss that he placed on his cheek.

Dew reached Rain’s door and raised his hand to knock, but then stopped. Changing his mind, he wrenched the doorknob open and barged in without announcing his presence, ready to stalk up to Rain and pull him forcibly into a deep kiss.

Instead, Dew stopped short at the sight before him. Rain was naked on the bed, draped seductively against a mountain of pillows. His half-hard cock lay invitingly in the crease of his hip, and the pale expanse of his skin was unmarred, just begging for Dew to cover it with bruises.

“Fuck, Rain, you’re such a slut,” Dew growled, stripping his clothes off as he strode over. “You couldn’t even wait for me?”

Rain shook his head and spread his legs open so that Dew could settle in between them. “I’ve been thinking about this all day,” he breathed against Dew’s lips, grinding up against him.

Things moved quickly after that. Rain was so keyed up already, it didn’t take long for Dew to reduce him to a trembling mess. And it didn’t take much to make him start crying, either, not after Dew shoved his cock into Rain all the way to the hilt, without any warning.

Now, Dew looked down at Rain as he fucked into him, drawing a choked-off gasp out of him with each hard thrust. A long line of bite marks decorated his neck and ran down his chest, each of them placed lovingly by Dew to stake his claim on the water ghoul.

Suddenly, Dew lifted his hand and slapped it hard across Rain’s cheek, making his head whip to the side. Rain let out a cry of surprise and gave Dew a wide-eyed look. Pre-cum leaked out of Rain’s cock as he jerked his hips up to meet Dew’s next thrust.

“Look at you, you’re loving this,” Dew groaned and hit him again, on the opposite side.

“No, don’t,” Rain moaned, clutching Dew’s hand tight. “Please, don’t hurt me.”

Rain’s protest hit Dew like a truck. Objectively, he could see that Rain was enjoying himself. Still, Dew’s hips stuttered before he quickly tried to recover and settle back into an even rhythm.

“Dew, are you okay?” Rain asked, panting a bit.

“Yeah,” Dew heard himself say. “Of course I am.” He had to be, right? He was supposed to be the one in charge here.

But Rain wasn’t buying it. He pushed Dew backward to make him pull out, and then sat up and brought his hand up to gently cup Dew’s face.

“You look like you’re about to cry,” Rain said, tilting his head.

Was he? “No, I’m not,” he denied, even as he heard how thick his voice had gotten.

“Dew, baby,” Rain murmured, looking at him with those calm blue eyes of his that made Dew want to dive in and get lost in them forever. “Tell me what’s wrong. Please?”

“You were begging me not to hurt you,” Dew said in a small voice. “I would never hurt you, not actually.”

“Oh,” Rain realized, and suddenly Dew was being dragged over and manhandled into Rain’s lap. He resisted at first, still trying to cling onto the notion that they could just keep going, but then gave up and collapsed into Rain’s arms.

Rain pressed a kiss into Dew’s hair and held him tight. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it,” he said.

“I know,” Dew said, not entirely believing him.

“Listen, Dew,” Rain insisted, drawing his head up so that they were looking directly at each other. “You were making me feel good. I know you’d never actually hurt me, not if I didn’t want you to.”

“Really?” Dew searched Rain’s eyes for the truth, and found so much love and affection in them that it made his heart squeeze.

“Yeah, really. You always take such good care of me, I know I’m safe with you,” he said, making Dew let out a low whine and burrow into his neck.

The two of them sat there for a while, Rain running his hands soothingly up and down Dew’s back. Eventually, their breaths evened out and fell in time with each other.

When Rain started to lean back, Dew panicked and gripped his arm. “I’m just going to get a towel to clean us up,” Rain told him, but Dew refused to let go. So instead, Rain grabbed a discarded shirt off the bed and used it to wipe both of them down.

“Do you want some water?” Rain asked as he reached over to the nightstand and picked up a glass. “It’s been sitting there for a couple of days, though,” he warned as Dew took it from him.

“Gross,” Dew muttered after taking a sip of the stale water, but then shrugged and gulped down the rest.

Dew lay down and tugged Rain along with him, so that the two of them were on their sides facing each other, legs tangled together. Feeling calmer, Dew stroked his thumb across Rain’s cheekbone and softly kissed the spot that was still pink from earlier.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t give you what you wanted,” Dew started to say, but Rain drew him into a long kiss to stop him from apologizing more.

“We’re going to do this again another time,” Rain promised. “We’ll make it good for both of us.”

Dew trailed his finger lightly along the bruises on Rain’s neck, already imagining all the different things that he wanted to do to him. Rain gave him a small smile, as if he could tell what he was thinking. Then Rain leaned over his ear and said something so filthy, it made Dew blush.

“Would you like that?” Rain grinned.

“Yeah,”  Dew swallowed hard. “Tell me more,” he whispered, and Rain did.

Israeli army carries out random killings, new forced displacement campaign in Gaza City’s Zaytoun neighbourhood

Palestinian Territory - As part of its ongoing military operation in Gaza City, the Israeli army carried out a second day of random killings in the city’s southeastern Zaytoun neighbourhood. Israel’s clear aim is to imposea new forced displacement campaign, destroying Gaza City and the Gaza Strip’s northern region, and evacuating its residents. The Israeli army conducted its second military operation in less than three months in the Zaytoun neighbourhood. Amid heavy Israeli air and artillery attacks, a military ground incursion, the forced evacuation of hundreds of families, and the bombing of residential squares, Palestinians in the area are struggling to survive. The neighbourhood, which is thought to be among the most densely populated areas in the Strip with an estimated population of 78,000, was previously targeted by the Israeli army in numerous airstrikes prior to the new ground assault. The ongoing bombing is said to have resulted in numerous civilian deaths and injuries, while ambulance crews have encountered difficulties in reaching the victims. Reports also affirm that displaced people have also come under Israeli gunfire. Forty-two-year-old Zaytoun neighbourhood resident Ibrahim Fathi Yassin told Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor that he and his family were forced to evacuate to a shelter in a school due to intensive shelling. However, they were targeted by an Israeli quadcopter and hit while walking down Totah Street, which resulted in Yassin’s injury and the death of his father, who was left bleeding at the scene due to the heavy gunfire. Another displaced resident, Muhammad Al-Baba, told the Euro-Med Monitor team that residents of the Zaytoun neighbourhood came under intensive shelling on Friday morning, forcing them to leave their houses. While searching for a safe haven, they were targeted by an Israeli quadcopter. At least one member of the Abedfamily, a girl, was killed during the attack. Al-Baba further noted that the Israeli army also attacked scores of displaced people taking refuge in the Shuhada Zaytoun School, resulting in numerous casualties. Notably, the targeting did not spare the carts that the residents depend on for movement during the displacement process. Talal Saeb Al-Harazin told the Euro-Med Monitor team that he and his nephew suffered moderate and serious injuries while trying to flee their home in the Zaytoun neighbourhood after being targeted by at least three artillery shells. The shells caused major destruction in the area. By expanding the buffer zones it creates inside the Gaza Strip to strengthen its military position in the Netzarim axis—separating the north and south of the Strip—the Israeli army is able to commit more killings, cause more destruction, and displace more individualsin an effort to escalate its genocide against Palestinian civilians and impose a fait accompli. This has been going on for weeks in places like Al-Mughraqa and the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. Israel continues to break international law by committing crimes against humanity, war crimes, and grave violations against the Palestinian people, primarily in the Gaza Strip. Prompt international action is therefore required to end to Israel’s genocide and campaign of forced displacement against the Strip’s population, which violates international law and amounts to the crime of forcible transfer. Civilians are still being evacuated from their homes and shelter centres without being provided a safe place to stay, and are instead being left out in open spaces without any facilities to supply basic necessities for life and safety, or security during their displacement. In addition, homes, gathering places, and residential neighbourhoods are being systematically and widely destroyed by Israel, depriving forcibly displaced people of a realistic timeline in terms of when they can expect to be safe.

Hello there! Would it be possible to have #10 for Obito? Please and thank you ^-^

NSFW PROMPTS!

10) Obito has a crush on the cute librarian that is reader, but never made a move on them. One day, Obito is dragged into a strip club. Obito is whining about being there until their eyes lock on the best stripper in the club, who happens to be reader.

As a bonus, this is part 3 of my mafia AU.

If Obito wants to be part of the family business, he'll have to put in the effort. Or so says his rigid and structured uncle Madara.

Since his great-grandfather founded the company, Izuna and Madara had been the first to join the business, assisting Indra as his first two pawns. No one in the family knows what the business is about, not until you're finally a part of it. Everything is kept secret, and the only thing the younger Uchiha know is that whatever they do generates a lot of money.

Obito, as the next in line to become part of the corporation, hoped Izuna would spare some mercy. His two uncles had been forced by Indra to study a career in finance and international commerce before they could be part of the company, and bound not to tell anything about their work to the family once their grandfather accepted and gave them jobs.

Madara became his right-hand man, and Izuna was in charge of training all the newcomers. Hundreds of Uchiha joined the family business each year, but the main branch of the family was the one that genuinely mattered, and the one Indra expected would work for him.

When Obito found himself finishing high school, he believed Izuna would excuse him for being his nephew, and give him a job without having to study. "Ha! Silly boy, you remind me of me when I was your age... Good luck!" Incredulity was his only reaction when this one had no compassion, and sent him to pursue the same career he and Madara had to study to be accepted by his great-grandfather.

Frustrated, he had no choice but to enroll in university, start a career he didn't like, and study by force just to avoid disappointing his family. He would prove to everyone he could do it, and get the stupid degree to get his stupid job.

He didn't even know what all the knowledge he was forcibly absorbing would do for him, or how he would implement it later, since he had no idea what his family was involved in. Internally, he was convinced pursuing such a position in the company was only to find out once and for all where they got so much wealth, and why they were so rich.

His studies were paid for entirely by his grandfather, Indra having more money than life and no problem financing the education of his entire immediate family. For this very reason, dropping out was not an option.

He had only one single exam left before he was done with all his studies, and it was the most important test of all. So close is the final stretch he can even see it, feel it, and fantasize about the pleasure he will feel when shoving his college degree in Izuna's face.

Drowning in books and papers, Obito stares at his iPad screen in confusion, his head so burned and overwhelmed he can not understand what he reads. He has spent more than three hours straight without looking at his phone or opening Tiktok, desperate to learn everything he couldn't in the last semester of school.

He was never a good student, and at this moment he regretted it. Asking his younger cousins for help was out of the equation, the three of them just starting the same career he's about to finish. If he asked Itachi he'd probably have answers, but he didn't want to lose pride in front of his little cousin.

He scratches his eyes while leaning back in his chair, elbows resting on his desk and crumpling about three notebooks under them. He's sick of looking at the same wall for hours now, and decides he needs a break. He grabs everything he needs and stuffs it hatefully into a backpack, sick of studying, then leaves his apartment in search of a different place.

He doesn't know where exactly he wants to go, if maybe he feels up for a coffee shop or a restaurant, a public park or the house of one of his friends. He could stop by Kakashi's workplace, relax a bit and then try again, but his legs are moving aimlessly.

With his headphones in his ears and music blaring, he stumbles head-on into a library. He's never set foot in one, never visited such a place, and never had so many books around him. Well, maybe yes, in his great-grandfather's private library located in his mansion, but that was all.

Obito curiously walks in, unsure of how to proceed in such an establishment. He observes the place from the entrance, but feels uncomfortable to show he has no idea how to act around the place, and decides to fake it until he makes it.

With his backpack over his shoulder and music in his ears, he tries to pass the security turnstiles as if he knew his way and finds the metal tube won't budge. Embarrassed, he looks around, hoping no one has seen this. He tries again, but the same thing happens repeatedly, and he has no way to get in.

Feeling stupid, he decides to leave the premises and pretend nothing is wrong, but when he turns around to walk, he comes face to face with the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life. She's wearing a vest with her name on it, (Y/N), as he reads, and manages to make Obito forget how to talk.

"You need to leave your backpack in one of our lockers before you can get in, otherwise I can't allow you." Her voice sounded angelic, sweet, calm, but the Uchiha could do no more than stammer a weak "sorry" and run off.

He didn't manage to study that day, and he didn't pass his exam either, but having to retake the class gave him the perfect excuse to go back to the library and see her again.

(Y/N) looked like a lovely, quiet, attractive woman. Her features were dreamy, her hair beautiful, and her eyes stood out among beautiful skin. Obito had a few opportunities to see her up close, and he fell more and more in love. She seemed to be one of those persons everyone adores, and every time he heard her talking to a customer he was sure her voice conveyed pure patience. If he had to guess, he believed her to be just as introverted and shy as he was, and chose to think that was the only reason she didn't approach him.

His routine had become going to the place, sitting at the table closest to the front desk, and pretending to read. He would pick up books of which he wouldn't even read the titles, solely to pretend he was doing something and keep his hands busy, making his alibi look real.

He grew to be a frequent presence, and it was she who greeted him every afternoon when he arrived at the library. Obito would smile shyly, producing a small wave with his hand, not daring to utter a word in front of her.

He felt awkward, clumsy, uncomfortable, weird, and hated not having the courage to declare his attraction, ask for her number, or even to talk to her in general, but being able to see her every day was enough, and gave him something to be excited and expectant about every afternoon.

He never dared to talk to her, not even small talk, but it was enough for him to see her, even if only from afar.

Months passed, Obito finally succeeded in his last exam and ran out of reasons to go. Indra agreed to take him into the company, gave him a position, and his uncle Izuna took it upon himself to train him privately. It turned out that there was no such company, the image of the family business was just a lie to cover up the reality of the job.

His great-grandfather ran one of the most important mafias in the country, and Madara was his right-hand man. They were in competition with another group, which was causing problems. All the Uchiha who annually joined the business were trained with weapons and violence, always ready to fight against the biggest enemy: the Senju.

When Obito was finally ready not to need Izuna by his side all the time, learned how to shoot, use a knife, and kill if necessary, his uncle wanted to celebrate in his own style: by going to a strip club.

The younger Uchiha was not at all comfortable with the idea, reluctant from the start, but he had no say whatsoever in the face of Izuna's insistence. His uncle had a talent for convincing people about whatever he wanted, and he understood why Indra chose him for all negotiations with potential clients.

Forced against his will, he was bundled into his trainer's car, and taken to the most expensive bar in the whole city. A place where only the big guns go, and the tips for the dancers don't go below $5,000.

As he enters the place, he has the urge to cover his face, shield his eyes and run away, but Izuna slaps him on the back and pushes him forward. "Come on, little boy, it's time for you to face reality. I bet you're still a virgin, hm?" his uncle laughs out loud, and with the beauty of both Uchiha, it's not long before women are swarming around them like flies to honey.

The atmosphere is filled with smoke, the smell of alcohol and drugs. There are burly men pouncing on women, people drinking questionable things, and he can even visualize a table full of white powder. It may have been the place for high-net-worth people, but it looked like a sleazy dump.

Handsome, wealthy men are all these women are looking for, and Obito feels dirty, used. He follows his uncle with his head down, sitting in front of the catwalk where a dancer gives a pole show. He can only stare at the floor, ignoring any attempt at contact they offer.

Next to him, Izuna is abducted by three women at the same time, with two under each arm and one on his lap. The Uchiha seems to be famous on the spot, and his wallet quickly begins to empty. "Madara’s going to hate me, but all will be settled with tomorrow's deal, right big guy?" he shouts over the music, trying to communicate with his nephew.

Tomorrow was an important day, the first heavy negotiation Indra would allow him to observe. Remembering the event suddenly makes him nervous, and he doesn't notice when the spectacle in front of him changes. The music playing is different, and a new girl walks down the catwalk.

The woman moves deftly, stealing everyone's gaze and wearing lingerie far too revealing. Almost nothing is left to the imagination, and Izuna whistles insinuatingly, making the girls who stand with him jealous.

Obito is the only one who refuses to enjoy the show, and the woman can't seem to allow it. Positioning herself in front of him, she sits down on the catwalk, to seconds later stand on the floor in her huge heels. A soft hand with sharp acrylic nails takes him by the chin and forces him to look up.

When they connect gazes, the world seems to stop.

The beautiful (Y/N), with her breasts almost in the air and very little fabric covering her most intimate areas, looks at him in panic.

They both gape, not knowing what to say, paralyzed, while the music continues to play in the background. The expectant men begin to boo her for not continuing with the show, and all she can do is run away.

Obito, in the adrenaline of the moment, tries to chase her, but a huge security guy stops him before he can enter the dressing room where the girl took refuge.

🇺🇳🇵🇸🇮🇱 🚨 STATEMENT ISSUED BY THE OFFICE OF THE UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS CALLING FOR CEASEFIRE

The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights released a statement condemning the resumption of hostilities in the occupied Palestinian territories and called for a ceasefire.

In the statement, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk called the resumption of hostilities in the occupied territories "catastrophic" and urged a redoubling of efforts to ensure a ceasefire.

"Recent comments by Israeli political and military leaders indicating that they are planning to expand and intensify the military offensive are very troubling," the UN High Commissioner said.

"Since 7 October, thousands of Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza. More now face the same fate. Others risk being forcibly displaced to already severely over-crowded and unsanitary parts of Gaza. The situation is beyond a crisis point."

The Commissioner goes on to say that as an occupying power, Israel is obligated under International Law to ensure that the basic needs of Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip, essentials such as food, water, and medical care, are met.

"I remind all parties of their obligation to allow and facilitate rapid and unimpeded passage of humanitarian relief for civilians in need, throughout Gaza," Commissioner Turk said.

"The way forward must be through an immediate end to the violence, the prompt and unconditional release of all remaining hostages, the cessation of firing of indiscriminate rockets and use of explosive weapons with wide-area effects in populated areas, humanitarian aid commensurate to the immense need and rapid unimpeded access, an end to practices of arbitrary detention by Israel, and concrete steps to avert further disaster, founded on full respect and protection of the human rights of Palestinians and Israelis."
