Since Becoming King

Since Becoming King

Tedros’ shoulders are broader and his lips are thinner. His hair looks more brown and his laugh is deep in his chest, ratting the bones of those around him. He appreciates sunsets and sunrises; He gets up early every morning to watch them. He eats more— a meal fit for a king is an actual thing (kings tend to eat a lot). His clothes show less sweat stains are more grass and dirt stains; being the hardhead that he is he can’t help but get really into sparring lessons. His footsteps are lighter and his voice is deeper. His eyes somehow kept their unreal blue pigment and his teeth remain sparkling white. He blinks more. Each passage of thick eyelashes is a slide throughout his life and it’s all one big motion picture he can’t put into words. Still arrogant with others and handsy with his love, Tedros hasn’t really changed much.

I just read an article that said Ares was tge most pathetic greek god.

Let me get that straight.

Ares was the only male greek god that never raped or sexually assaulted any woman in his immortal life.

Ares was the patron god of the Amazons. A feminist community of female warriors was protected by him. Amazons were his loyal daughters.

Ares slew his daughter's rapist and was tried before all of the other gods for homicide.

Ares was the only male greek god that never viewed Aphrodite as a temporary lover, he respected her and loved her for who she was.

Zeus called Ares a double-faced liar just because he didn't agree with his nature and allowed Athena to hurt him.

Ares forgave Cadmos for slewing his child and married him off to hid daughter Harmonia.

Ares freed Thanatos from the chains Sisyphus put him.

Ares was the first god to protect Olympus from Otus and Ephialtes, but when he was trapped by them no other god went to free him.

According to Nonus in Dionysiaca, Ares allows Deimos and Phobos to help Zeus defeat Typhon.

Ares was the god of masculinity, civil order and a fighter for righteousness, referred as the Ally of Themis.

He always stepped in to help his children. He even went as far to disobey Zeus so that he could save his children from danger.

And Ares is pathetic! Like really?

The only argument of his "pathetic" nature was because he lost to Athena. A war isn't meant to always be won. There are the winners and the defeated. He may have been defeated in war but in his life he was a winner, because he faught for what he loved the most with insane ferocity!

Be for fucking real guys!

For everyone here on my Tumblr I need y’all to stop what you’re doing and really lock in to the genocide happening in Gaza right now. I will post as many links as I can but the best you can do right now is be loud as fuck! About this.

TLDR Isreal has cut off all water, electricity and telecommunications within Gaza in a complete blackout and Gaza has lost their voice. Israel has already threatened to bomb Al Shifa hospital, which is currently a shelter for around 50k-60k Palestinians. These are images of Gaza Strip from an HOUR AGO. They are literally slaughtering and wiping out generations of Palestinians as we speak.

Please I need to see y’all talking about this and being loud for Palestine. Your anime yaoi twink hyperfixation will still be here tomorrow but literally thousands of innocent people may not.

Theory time

{ Gonna say this, this is not a radfem post so if you're a radfem kindly fuck off. Because you're not in this conversation, you openly oppress and harm others just like hateful cis straight men do.}

I've noticed cis straight men HATE the zodiac, crystals, witchcraft and all that but I got a theory on WHY.

IT'S BECAUSE UNLIKE MOST OTHER BELIEFS THEY ARE NOT IN CHARGE.

Yes you heard me I think it's likely cis straight men feel threatened And mock these forms of spirituality/beliefs because it doesn't push misogynistic values and put men at the head on things or have a divine that's a dude.

Notice how it was cis straight dudes that started the hate against crystals, witchcraft, cleansings, reiki, the evil eye, tarot, Horoscopes and all that...

These sorts of spiritualities are normally dominated by woman and LGBTQ+, both of these groups are oppressed outsiders in many cis straight dominated religions. Normally women and LGBTQ+ ppl support each other on those communities and uplift each other. I think that's another reason cis straight men see it as such a threat.

Just saying

also cis straight dudes that normally respect that stuff or are into that stuff don't hate women or LGBTQ+ ppl I've noticed...

{ when I say women on this post or on any post I ever make on this account I mean all women both cis and trans. Because trans women are women }

the first girl i ever dated, she was the most precious thing on earth, and she still is. but we lasted at most a week and a half, because we didn’t know who we were, we didn’t know or expect what was to come, but it’s been almost a year and a half since i first dmed her, and still she’s one of my best friends.

people say first loves will do the most damage because it’s the first, but this girl, she will forever be one of the most amazing people i’ve ever met

Israel has been making the population of Gaza evacuate to the South for the last month as they carpet bombed the North into dust (while also bombing the South every other day to mix things up). Most everyone had gone to Rafah as they had specified. With the ending of the truce on 1st December, they immediately began bombing the South. Yesterday they bombed Khan Younis, the Southwestern point of Gaza which was supposed to be safest, reducing eleven residential buildings to rubble. The new thousand families displaced have nowhere else to go.

The most popular and famous journalists who have been reporting from Gaza are now posting what feels like goodbyes.

Bisan posted:

[Screenshot of IG post. Photo of a curly haired young woman in a black hoodie, holding her camera phone far away enough to see the completely flattened buildings behind her. Her face is grim, drawn and pale.

Caption: I no longer have any hope of survival like I had at the beginning of this genocide, and I am certain that I will die in the next few weeks or maybe days. I have been sick with severe viral infection for days and cannot move from the mattress!
I suffer from nightmares that are so closely resemble reality that I no longer differentiate between reality and dream.
I live in a world other than the one I claimed to be building! I am a community activist who lived on the fantasy that the world was free and just, and I sought to bring rights not only to my people, but to many men and women in third world countries!
I was shocked that I was not from the third world! Indeed, we are the most humane and moral! Yes, because the world approves, supports, and finances the genocide we are being subjected to, legislates it, and gives reasons for for 58 days! While we are a people who have been living on occupied land for 75 years and are still searching for our rights and communicating our voice to the world!
My message to the world: You are not innocent of what is happening to us, you as governments or peoples that support Israel’s annihilation of my people. We will not forgive you, we will not forgive you, humanity will not forgive you, we will not forget, even if we die, the history will never forget .
A Message to friends: Thank you and the supporters around the world. You have been compassionate and very strong. We ask you not to lose hope, even if the world seems completely unfair and your efforts have not yet resulted in a ceasefire.

Text:

يشهد ربنا اني تعبت جدا وبكابر على كل أوجاعي وعلى كل تعبي عشان بعرف كويس انو كتيير ناس بتاخد قوتها مني ولازم كمان ما اضعف لانو فلسطين بدها ياني لسا، بس والله شفت كتييير شغلات لدرجة ببكي كل ليلة قبل - ماا انام ولدرجة بحلم بكوابيس ولدرجة انو صرلي 58 يوم 2 ما بعرف اشي عن اهلي وما بتواصل معهم ومع ذلك مكمل في النشر، بس يبدو العالم خلص مش حيستجيب

Translation:

God bears witness that I am very tired and I am grieving over all my pain and all my fatigue because I know very well that many people take their strength from me and I must not be weak because Palestine wants me still, but I swear I have seen so many things that I cry every night before - I cannot sleep and to the point that I have nightmares to the point that I have 58 Day 2 I don’t know anything about my family and I don’t communicate with them. However, I continue to post, but it seems that the world has finished and will not respond. God willing, you will wake up when we are all annihilated and cease to exist.

Motaz Azaiza is arguably the most famous journalist in Gaza right now. The freelancer rocketed to popularity for his kindness, dogged good cheer, ability to find rays of hope amid constant disaster and death threats. Middle East GQ put on their cover while he was begging the international community for help as he covered Israel's atrocities and watched his friends die one after the other.

He posted hours ago:

Picture of Motaz Azaiza in his press jacket carrying his camera. The caption reads: "It's about life or death now. I did what I could. We are surrounded by Israeli tanks."
The block of text below in smaller font is in Arabic.

Translation:

"The stage of risking everything to bring you the news has ended, now begins the stage of trying to survive. I've brought you enough news, as god is my witness, in order to save my country. We are now facing an internal siege. We can't move north or south. Israeli tanks surround central Gaza on both the northern and southern ends. Our situation is more dire than you can imagine. Remember: we are not content for you to share. We are a people facing genocide, we are a cause attempting to stay alive, alone."

Plestia Alaqad reposted his story to her own Instagram and added:

Screen shot of IG caption.
byplestia: Rough translation of what @motaz_azaiza posted on his story..
FYI Gaza Strip is getting divided into 3 parts the north of Gaza, the middle area and Deer Al Baleh, and Khanyoonis and Rafah.. the movement is becoming nearly impossible, and of course there is no safe place and people just don’t know where to go.

alt included on all images.

No one who hasn't been following them understands how devastating this is to witness. They've become like family to all their millions of followers. The first thing I do every day is check if Hind, Motaz and Bisan are alive and ok. I'm not remotely exaggerating when I say these are the most heroic, indefatigable, determined people most of us have ever seen in our lives. I pity everyone who hasn't had the privilege to follow them. I don't believe in a God and yet the force of their faith has me praying that they survive too.

PLEASE SHARE THIS. VISIBILITY IS SURVIVAL.
