I don't think people truly understand the gravity of Rafah being bombed.

There is nowhere left to go.

The lowest cost is $5,000 USD to flee to Egypt. There has been people paying over $10,000 USD.

That is the only option

Pay or die.

Rafah was the only place in Palestine promised not to be bombed. That promise is broken.

1.5 million people have nowhere to go!

Reminder, if possible, please donate to the PCRF, ANERA, Islamic Relief, Palestine Red Crescent Society, Medical Aid for Palestinians, Defense for Children International - Palestine, Doctors Without Borders, and all other trusted organizations.

a concerning amount of witchblr will be like "um actually new years was stolen by europeans from the ancient god scroobus mcdoobus" and then you actually try to research scroobus mcdoobus and it turns out he was invented in the 1940s by a conspiracy theorist who powdered every meal with ketamine and thinks that queer people are reincarnated fish

Bruce is a overprotective and kind of strict parent, but he is very lax in some domains where other parents wouldn't. Here are some examples:

His kids stealing money from him. You will never catch Bruce Wayne lecturing his kids for taking his money. In the Arkhamverse, Jason steals 5 millions from Bruce's bank account to buy his army, and the problems for Bruce are: he didn't know it was Jason so it stressed him a bit, and Jason used it to buy an army.

Stealing from him in general. What is his is theirs. Unless it's dangerous. (Cars are death machines for his anxious self, which is why buying another batmobile for the young justice is not acceptable, or is kids taking it for a ride. He did made Redbird for Tim as a gift for when he got his license.)

Stealing from the cops (he has done it himself so many times)

Stealing money from rich people. In Knightfall, Bruce meets a British vigilante named Hood who steals from the rich to give to the poor, and Bruce had NO problems with that. He likes the young man. Stealing possessions is an issue tho. (Dick should follow his Robin Hood's dream, his father is fine with that)

Hacking into government facilities or anything really. Unless it's to harm an innocent civilian, like a classmate, he will not say anything. Hacking the FBI? Good. Hacking a russian mafia? Ok. As long as they do it safely and follow Barbara's instructions, it's fine.

Lying to him. Bruce is always impressed when he realizes one of his kids lied to him and he believed them. He's the Batman, after all, they have been able to fool the Batman. When he learns that Tim invented a fake uncle, he is proud of him and he tells him such, because he made the Batman believed it.

so in an attempt to actually use positive thinking, anytime i fuck up and my brain reacts as if ive cause a minor apocalyptic event, i compare my fuck up to the 4 minute fuck up committed by the crew of the uss william d porter.

and only today, as i was having to explain what happened to my mom when i was explaining the whole comparison thing, did i realise that most people dont know about it and ive decided that needs to change because its objectively hilarious.

...which is a weird thing to say about an event that occured on a warship in 1943, specifically november 14th.

see the uss william d porter was a fletcher-class destroyer but you dont need to know what that means, just that she had guns that went bang bang and that she was escorting another ship, the uss iowa, to cairo.

while they were on their way there, they performed some gun trials like testing the anti-aircraft guns or the torpedos. and while they were running a torpedo drill, the crew of the porter managed to fire a live torpedo straight at the iowa which you know, in terms of a list of things to do while escorting a ship, shooting a torpedo at them is not on that list.

especially if the president of the united states is on board.

yeah so fdr was on board and the gun trials were actually his idea, and part of the trials was that they were conducted under radio silence.

and that means the crew of the porter couldnt just call the iowa to be like "move out the way, we accidentally shot a torpedo at you."

but they did have signal lamps and you know, the signalman on board was trained to signal this exact kind of message.

...and uh never mind, the signalman did manage to successfully tell the iowa that a torpedo was coming toward them but wasnt as successful when it came to the direction the torpedo was coming from.

not all hope is lost though because the signalman could still use the signal lamp to correct his previous mistake and-, never mind, he announced that the porter was reversing, which she wasnt.

yeah so at catastrophic mistake number 3, they broke radio silence to warn the iowa and she managed to turn out of the way just in time which meant no one got hurt. and even though the inquiry into the incident led to chief torpedoman (fantastic job title btw) lawton dawson being sentences to hard labour, fdr intervened and waved away his sentence, saying it was all an accident.

but yeah, so thats my new measure for "how much did i really fuck up?" and when i compared accidentally picking up a pencil case without a tag on it in wilko, turns out it was a very minor fuck-up. yes, the cashier had to ask another worker to grab a duplicate so they could scan the barcode, but i didnt nearly kill the president during wartime via accidental friendly fire

Every word you say is truth and immediately digested into my soul. Completely out of his depth but enamored? Learn to rely on someone elses teaching again rather than his own experience and self-teaching? Naturally energetic man putty in someones hands? The smallest things are the most overwhelming. Brain-off sex is good and all but just a hug when he is feeling a little down...? I am tearing my heart out of my chest

I'ma rant at you about where my head went, my HC:

My man likes men - and has never had experience with ladies. I mean he has a type, yeah...? Slim, intelligent, hardworking, serious and almost painfully capable twunks that baby him just a little. Every time we are introduced to a 'friend of All Might' its the same fuckin type of dude: David, Nighteye, Naomasa... arguably Aizawa.

...Yet nothing seems to last with them. Always 'I love this guy but we can't really spend any time together'. As you said - he has spent his entire life making sure nobody knows he has negative thoughts... but all those men have seen past the mask. Yet they don't seem to have liked what they saw. (I don't blame them - loving someone thats going to throw themselves to the wolves no matter what is hard. You gotta draw the line somewhere, and these men are too capable to be wishywashy with their lines.) Plus: he met all of them through work. He cannot separate them from his job, unless he entirely uproots himself and goes low-contact.

So whether he has mutually pined, or have some sort of messy casual romances, or burning passionate affairs that fizzled out... What I'm saying is: Every time he has had someone willing to hug him when he needs a hug, for HIM, they've gotten overwhelmed by who he is. Scraps, tastes, of what it is like to lean on someone with an open heart and have them support your weight... but you crush them in the end.

How does he cross that chasm...? 'Who he is' is something that, very understandably, drives people away. Hell, its driving HIMSELF away to an early grave - but how does he stop...? He can't expect anyone else to handle what even he himself can't. He is a derailed train that even he isn't strong enough to stop it.

Any scrap of affection, relationship or love has fizzled out and left them hurt. Probably to the point where he just... appreciates, now. He doesn't flirt or pursue or anything (if he ever did, airhead baby) because the idea of ruining them hurts too much. (besides.. look at him, right? He's a broken mess. A bag of shattered glass.) He has lost all confidence. Personal connections with men frighten him: If he isn't All Might then he can only disappoint. (Damn legs are shaking... so scary...)

Women...? At the base-line the same as men, of course - but the women most important to him have been shining beacons rather than peers: His mother, his mentor, recovery girl... they feel precious, untouchable.

His experience with female attraction is seeing tits - and having internal feelings about that that, with a firmly shut mouth.

He can't even bring himself to touch-base with the familiar activity of 'being with a man' - how the hell can he be anything but terrified and out of his depth with a woman!? He's gonna do everything wrong. Like a stupid embarrassing little boy... one that will disappoint in the short term, overwhelm and hurt in the long term.

He was indulgent and free with David, but it didn't last. He tried to be more professional with Nighteye, and it was a disaster. He always kept Naomasa at a FIRM distance no matter how much he looks up to him, relies on him and pines. and has managed to just appreciate Aizawa quietly. It'd never work.

But thats Men. He has fought long and hard to warp his expectations and feelings for men into this twisted, unnatural shape. Women? They're square fucking one. He may aswell be 15 again. He can barely handle Midnight's flirting - and she doesn't even mean it. Well... she half means it. He is adorable and fun to mess with.

Bonus book Q & A (i can’t believe they left out Shouto!)

All Might being a virgin is the funniest.

Daniel Wayne, the younger toddler brother of Bruce Wayne and the son of Martha and Thomas Wayne had been kidnapped the night their parents were murdered.

Daniel had been snagged the moment their killer heard people headed to the alley and Bruce in his state of shock didn't realize it until it was far to late and could only scream in horror (from everything) as his baby brother is crying his name. (If you wanna make it even more heart wrenching, make it Danny's first time being able to say Bruce's name right and/or Bruce had said some mean things to Danny earlier after he accidentally broke something of Bruce's, something like 'I wish youd go away' or 'I never wanted a brother, you're such a bother!')

Bruce is being held by Alfred as some police officers are chasing down the Wayne's parents killer while some stay behind to see if they could do something.

Minutes turn to hours and as they wait, praying the police at least found Danny, Bruce is ridden with guilt. From his parents death to allowing his brother to be kidnapped.

Eventually the police return to give Alfred and Bruce the news. And it's not good.

The killer escaped and Danny was nowhere to be found.

And it would take many years before he would be found.

Bruce gets a call from Damian during school hours one day. When he answers he is greeted with Damian demanding him to get to the school and explain himself.

Confused Bruce asks what does he mean and Damian responds with

"The two new students in class today are the spitting images of you and I father! Either they are poorly created clones or you have more hidden blood children!"

-x-x-

Meanwhile the very students being discussed are calling up someone too

"Ellie? Dan? What's wrong? You better not have made too much chaos already, I just paid for the uniforms for that place."

"DAD! I THINK ANOTHER ONE OF THE FRUITLOOPS FAILED CLONES SOMEHOW SURVIVED!"

"What?"

i refuse to believe that boycotting is hard. my favourite thing in the world is ordering maccies after a late night at work/a concert/getting drunk. yes i do miss it sometimes. but the other night i ordered from a small place near my house instead and it was the most orgasmic burger i've ever had in my life. i very rarely say this but fucking suck it up people are DEAD

Cody would be the type of person to be sitting in medbay because he has a concussion from headbutting a commando droid, talking to his CMO and state that he has a headache that comes and goes. So his CMO tells him to alert whenever it comes back, only for Cody to say literally anytime (this order recognizes volume mind you) Obi-Wan, Anakin, Rex, Ahsoka, Ghost, or Torent walking into medbay to either check on him or give him stuff to sign bc of Marshall Commander of the 7th Sky Division bullshit, that his headache is back.

levi chooses to ignore it—the way his cold, steady gaze faintly softens and warms at its edges when he looks at you. the way his callous tone withers, the tip of his sharp tongue reduced to that of a dull, useless blade.

he can deny it all he wants, this unrelenting, restless thread of affection rapidly unspooling inside of him.

(his hands are too stained for someone like you.)

this sick, tremulous feeling of jealousy that burns in his chest when he imagines you turning your gentle, kind smile on a man who deserves it. someone who isn't him.

(too filthy, too ruined.)

it's between him and these four walls that can't talk—the muffled sounds of his mouth against his fist, eyes clenched tightly shut to the vision of a fantasy he fucking hates himself for.

(it's between him and these four walls—the near-silent exhale of your name after.)

I know that the term "loveless" can cause a knee jerk reaction with lots of people. I know the term can be tied to hurt feelings, painful accusations, silent worries and a strong urge to defend yourself.

But I need people, especially aros who aren't familiar with the concept, to understand that the reclaiming of that word is born from the very same hurt. Only instead of saying "I'm not loveless, I can still love" which often goes hand in hand with a silent "I am still worthy because I can love", loveless aromanticism asks "why am I, as an aromantic person, constantly having to defend my worth as a human being?" and "why can't we instead have a conversation about how respect for another person should not be tied to whether they feel one emotion?" and "why do you choose to reduce the vast complexity of lived human experience to one feeling?" and "what if I don't feel love? What if I don't understand love? What if I've been hurt by love? What if the concept of love makes me deeply uncomfortable, am I still allowed to exist in peace?"

The point is, I see many aros react in a hurt and defensive manner when confronted with lovelessness, and I see many loveless aros react to that in a similar hurt and defensive manner. and it's just all the same hurt.

Saying Sorry Will Never Be Enough

Feeling a bit angsty so I had this idea.

Danny is dating one of the Bats/Birds, and everything is going great, amazing even! They know each other secrets (from powers to everything etc), they have a wonderful place to live (even if its in Gotham), Danny is in college on the way to becoming a space engineer (and he does side jobs for unrestful ghosts), he's actually getting sleep again since leaving Amity Park, gets along with their friends and family (those who Danny or his partner still talk to, up to the writer), there is even talk about marriage and perhaps adoption/kids in the future between Danny and the Bat/Bird he's dating!

Everything is setting up for a good life in his future, something Danny didn't think could have after his accident. He was happy finally, and currently packing up his old apartment because he's moving in with his partner in a few days.

So he felt like his core was being pulled out of him when he opens his apartment door one day receiving a knock to find his parents, who had hadn't seen since they kicked him out of the house after coming clean about being Phantom (their words of anger and denial that their son was 'dead' and now a monster, still hurt)

Sure they didn't attack him or proclaim he's dead but still their last words and anger HURT.

Danny didn't give them a chance to open their mouths, both looking nervous and guilty, before he slams the door close and turns invisible, grabs his phone, and fly's out of his apartment to his partner's place in a panic attack.

His partner, isn't happy.
