M0th-b0nes - Hi :)

(The poll above is to draw attention to this post.)

@savefamilyyousef and @girlquee have both reached out to me with regards to their gofundme campaign!

Yousef, his wife Khadija and their son Majd are trying to escape Palestine to safety.

Yousef lost his father and his job, and Khadija was unable to finish her studies in University to become a teacher like she had dreamed. They have lost their house due to the genocide.

Majd, their baby boy, has a very serious respitory illness and they must escape AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

people see news of 200+ palestinians being killed in one attack and scroll or think about it for about a minute then move on. but if 200+ people died in an attack in the west it would be mainstream news and all people spoke about for weeks. i know the numbers of palestinians being killed are astronomical and its impossible to keep up (which is absolutely sickeningly horrifying, there are no words), but the lack of value placed in palestinians lives and disregard shown is insane

I cannot understand how some people "don't know how to portray Gaz" in fics, if we literally have this clip

Like, it's enough to understand so much! His sense of humour, his relationships with Kate and Price, his sarcastic chill energy. It's all right in front of you, just open your eyes!!

Asking before kissing or even touching(this applies to any stage of relationship really)

^^ “Can I kiss you, please?”

Meeting each other's friends/family

^^“I’m nervous.” “Don’t be. I’m sure they’ll like you. Hell, they’ll love you.”

Having an intimate talk about the bedroom scenes(don't skip this people!)

Communicating about feelings

^^“I didn’t like the way they were looking at you. I hope you can understand what I’m trying to say.”

Talking face-to-face than texting

Spending time alone from each other

^^Making enough time for other one

“Are you sure you want to do this? Like sure, sure?” “Yeah. Yeah, I’ve been wanting to do this with you forever.”

“You weren’t uncomfortable back there, right? I just wanted to make sure you were all right.” “No, no, I wasn’t. Thank you for doing that.”

*while comforting the other one* “Hey, hey, look at me. It’s okay, I’m here. Shh. Look at me. You don’t have to be scared okay? I’m here to help you.”
