one time i saw jehovah's witnesses on the street nearby my courses' campus and i didn't know much about rosaries (the person i asked didn't personally use the rosary + its more so a catholic thing) ((in the christian context of rosary use)) and they asked why i wanted to learn more.

i looked at her, nervously chuckled before saying "ah well i- i read my chemical romance fanfiction and- and yeah."

i hope she doesnt know what unholyverse is

getting in a convo about stigmata or catholism (which to be fair doesn't happen often but when it does) is terrible bc when asked where I learned this from I can't just say “well I learned it from this 186k fanfiction about my chemical romance called unholyverse” can I?!

i’ve been thinking about innocuous photos like the one on the left. because it is my job to neglect the sprouts of imperialism and racism that accompanied my upbringing, i've been attempting to find solidarity even in the innocuous. and how easily it comes: marah and i, both schoolgirls who like cute things, both compelled by the desire to photograph our supplies after arranging them to be just-so. the photo on the right is an old one of mine.

if you were to ask yourself:

“how much do i have in common with a palestinian?”

i think the answer would be “everything.” maybe you’re united by the love you have for your pets, being fans of the same goth rock band, or the fact that, were something of severity to happen to your family, you’d also be online, asking for help in a way your elders might find it hard to wrap their heads around, and making sure people knew they could trust your campaign.

and if this were a message you were sending, i hope that your hope would remain in tact, because people like us, on the other end, would be doing everything they could to help you.

I Know What You Are

(experiencing romantic emotions) this is fucked. this has probably never happened to anyone ever i think im diseased

I don't actually ship them but unholyverse is just too good

the flour massacre is ongoing. it is everyday. it was not an isolated event. it was not even the first time israel shot at and killed palestinians going for aid (they do it whenever they allow aid through). in fact, they did the exact same thing yesterday morning. just because smaller-scale murders go under the radar for lack of shock factor doesn’t mean they’re not happening continuously.
