Subtle Acts Of Love

Okay I'm gonna stand a safe distance from gabriel when I ask this. Heya gabe ya feather brain whatcha think about the angel Michael?

“Personally, I would simply not let myself be used to deliver God’s news to humans, or be captured and used for their puny desires.”

(Transcript)

“What do I think of them?”

“Frankly, I think it’s embarrassing to play messenger to or be subjected by God’s cringiest creature.”

I am Amira from Gaza🍉. The war destroyed everything I own. I lost my father, my home, my job, and my university. I can't bear any more. Could you please donate or share my story to help protect us 🙏?

Hi Amira.

I've just finished reading your story, and I can't even express my deepest sorrows for you and your family. Sadly, I cannot do anything to help, and the most I can do is share your story, which might not get a lot of reach, considering how small my account is.

But to those who see this post, here is Amira's story. It's a very shitty summary, but I think it'll do.

"After her father's passing, Amira found herself taking care of her family, consisting of her mother, who sadly suffers from high blood pressure and diabetes. Amira worked as a teaching assistant while pursuing a master's degree in data science, and also worked as a programmer in a company, all until war came and destroyed everything. Her university, workplace, and home were completely destroyed, forcing them to flee south in search of a safe haven. Now, Amira and her family live in tents for displaced people in Deir al-Balah, where they suffer from water shortages and the spread of diseases, posing an additional challenge, especially for her immunocompromised mother. Amira and her family hope to escape this difficult situation and build a better future. The cost of travel for one person is $5000, and the cost of living is $500 per person per month, and Amira hopes to gain at least €39,000 to be able to escape with her mother."

Her's her go-fund-me link. If you can, please donate what you can give so she and her family will be able to get out faster and get a safer life. Currently, as I'm writing this, Amira has made €30,188 out of €39,000, and it both seems so close yet so far, which kills me.

I wish you only the best, Amira. Hopefully one day, once all of this Hell is over, and life can finally go back to normal, you'll be able to live the best life with your family.

did you see the new mandela catalogue video (cognitohazard) because Holy Shit

The alternates unlocked cyber bullying I’m in disbelief 😭

Gabriel @ the alternate: okay, now type “KYS”…

When a Character Has a Crush and Is Absolutely, Pathetically, Hilariously in Denial

This is not slow burn. This is oh-no-I-accidentally-fell-for-you chaos with a side of emotional whiplash...

⭑ They suddenly become weirdly aware of everything that person does. Chews their pen? Heart attack.

⭑ They insist they’re “just friends” but act like they’ve been married for 40 years.

⭑ Their friends all know. The mailman probably knows. They don’t know.

⭑ They make fun of the other person flirting with people. Then sulk. Then deny they’re sulking.

⭑ They get flustered over the dumbest things. A smile. A shared drink. A hand on the shoulder.

⭑ They remember everything about them... dog’s name, birthday, and act like it’s totally casual.

⭑ Their voice gets weird around them. Higher. Quieter. Rougher. It’s never consistent.

⭑ They get competitive. They don’t know why. (It’s jealousy. Surprise.)

⭑ They notice new clothes. New hair. New earrings. And absolutely say nothing while staring too long.

⭑ They get mad when other people point it out. Mad and embarrassed. The “shut up” is always immediate.

Just a rabid dog

Sorry for Astar posting twice in a row I just like this little freak 💔💔 anyway Astar doesn’t get pushed to violence often but when he does…it’s not a pretty sight. He doesn’t fight fair…he fights to survive

✦ LITTLE BASTARDS

i can’t take this. i’ve been a little patient.

i’ve got to get away a little faster.

run, you little bastards.

fake friends all around, they watch while i drown. no one is there to help me.

sometimes i’ve been losing my mind, running out of faith.

i’ve been feeling lonely, put me in my place.

so, fuck you — i don’t even like you.

no sleep, got another nosebleed. i can’t feel my face.

✦ ANXIETY

indecisions have been breaking my sanity.

retaliation when i’m full of anxiety.

a band-aid on a bullet hole that’s still bleeding.

numb you up until you can’t feel a goddamn thing.

a generation full of anti-sobriety. a generation that is full of anxiety.

all the voices in your head that keep talking.

all the blood on your skin that keeps crawling.

i was born to be anything i wanted to be, raised to be fucking mean.

i’m a masterpiece.

blasphemy meet again in a world so vicious.

mothers scream, fathers drink and all you bastards scream.

✦ TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT I DIE

lonely, another day. drowning, please save me.

i am struggling in my own daydream.

i know i can’t live much longer, hear the angels sing.

could I be a prisoner to the voices in my brain.

my mind is gone to waste, can’t stand to look at my face.

all these thoughts inside my head will be silenced by the bang.

believe me when i say tonight is the night i die.

as i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, i look at you as i take my last breath.

as i die and fall to the floor, my pain and suffering is no more.

✦ LONELY

my life don’t mean that much to me so i’m living for you.

and you can’t stand the sight of me so what’s the point of this fucked up catastrophe?

i pop these pills to waste some time as i’m fading.

too lazy for a suicide, i just watch the days pass hoping to die.

daydreaming of my funeral — like who would show, bet no one would go.

hey dad, would you show up for me now? just to bury your little boy in the ground.

you broke my heart when you left me.

so sick and tired of being alone. so long, farewell — i’m on my own.

i dug this grave i call my home.

✦ NERVOUS BREAKDOWN

twist the knife just a bit further.

don’t look at me — i think about murder.

i think i’m about to explode. i think i’m goin’ to have a nervous breakdown.

start to feel myself panic again and all the blood rushes to my head.

you say you love me but you still left me — i guess that’s why i hate myself.

you say it’s over but you’re still calling — i guess that’s why i live in hell.

my brain has been fucked enough. please, stop wasting all my thoughts.

cut my throat and please let me go.

✦ MASOCHIST

’cause i’ve been craving your sweet haven.

so i keep turning while your body burns to the ground.

don’t try to tell me that i should go softly.

just look me in my eyes and feed me your sweet lies.

i’ll cut through your alibis.

hang a cross upside down. your church is burning down.

just take me for the night.

✦ BLACK SHEEP

do you see what i’ve become? why are you still holding on?

something lingers in my veins, that’s telling me i’m not the same.

i am sinking now. the water’s over my ears and i can’t hear no sounds.

scream out or drown — can you hear the voice say now?

go home and back to sleep, and count the black sheep. 

go on away from me, i am the black sheep.

you said it’s all in my head, you said it’s all in my brain.

there’s nothing left that you can say to me.

i am everything you hate.

i am unwanted, i’m not the answer. you were hoping that i’d change.

you push me down once again because i seem different.

✦ STAY

i see you for what you are

it’s something in your eyes that look past my scars.

where do you go when you leave in the night? ‘cause i see those teary eyes.

i am the only hope for you and you are the only hope for me, too.

i just wanted you.

so stay this time. don’t go away.

the end is near, i really don’t want to know.

it’s haunting me to watch you go.

✦ REDEEMER

can’t you see that everyone is dying?

the animals are crying, religions are dividing as my family keeps on fighting.

now i’m caught in something — my eternal suffering.

looking for the meaning of it all but i got nothing.

don’t know where i’ll go when i die, must be better than this.

ain’t it sad when you got nowhere to go? got no place to call your home. burden to everyone you know.

i try just not to think about my life so i do another line. it keeps me numb just for the night.

and i’m here just waiting for you to come home.

and i’m screaming all on my own with the revolver and a note.

will you please pick up the phone? will you please come back home?

Thanks so much for keeping the Mandela fandom alive <3

I want to ask though, did Gabriel put a claim on Dave at any point? Because it seems that although Dave left the church, Gabriel still misses him

Dave still visits in a way, though he doesn't appear at mass. Gabriel merely acts like he doesn't know who's on the other side of the booth.

And did Gabriel put a claim on Dave? Well, he'd tell you no...but he'd be a liar.

I gotta say, I’m falling in love with your Alternates in Arms AU. The idea of alternates taking the place of humans, and ending up enjoying taking their place, and befriending their friends, and living their lives, is very interesting.

Thank you! It probably stems from the deeper desire in me to believe the human spirit can triumph over alternates but really I’m just a sucker for “the inhuman desires to be human”.

Can an alternate long for friendship? At least in this AU, yes…and maybe he could have it too.
