Everybody wants a happy ending, right?
Tony Stark has half of my heart and Wei Wuxian has the other half. Occasional Sense8, B99, MCU, The Untamed/MDZS. In too deep with IronStrange, WangXian, š¦š°.

Gazal was wounded on November 10th, when, as her family fled Gaza Cityās Al-Shifa hospital, shrapnel pierced her left calf. To stop the bleeding, a doctor, who had no access to antiseptic or anesthesia, heated the blade of a kitchen knife and cauterized the wound. Within days, the gash ran with pus and began to smell. By mid-December, when Gazalās family arrived at Nasser Medical Centerāthen Gazaās largest functioning health-care facilityāgangrene had set in, necessitating amputation at the hip.
On December 17th, a projectile hit the childrenās ward of Nasser. Gazal and her mother watched it enter their room, decapitating Gazalās twelve-year-old roommate and causing the ceiling to collapse.
UNICEF estimates that a thousand children in Gaza have become amputees since the conflict began in October. āThis is the biggest cohort of pediatric amputees in history,ā Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a London-based plastic-and-reconstructive surgeon who specializes in pediatric trauma, told me recently.

This is the last birthday photo taken of Shireen before she was assassinated by the IOF nearly a month later:
Happy Birthday to an incredible woman who should still be here. You will always be remembered and forever missed.

My senior doctor told me that a Palestinian patient who crossed from Gaza to Egypt came with a complaint about stomach pain. It turned out that because she was starved for so long, her stomach shrunk. So, when she finally got her hands on foods she tried to eat her full, and her stomach couldn't digest it.
My senior told me that she was talking so sincerely about how she wanted to eat so much because she missed food.
Couldn't tell whether I should be glad for her or cry for her

When I say there are things that Israel will never ever take away from Palestinians I also mean the way the fight for Palestine is ingrained into every aspect of our lives, down to even the names we give our children who come decades and decades after our initial Nakba.
For example, Bisan is a very popular girls name in Palestine and it is the name of a Palestinian city that was depopulated by Israel in 1948. Girls with names like Bisan, Yafa and Jenin may not have seen these cities yet, but they carry them within them regardless.
Also, many Palestinians can identify with how our aunts and uncles have symbolic names such as A'ed or A'eda which mean returnee. These names were not chosen arbitrarily by our grandparents who were forced to raise their families in refugee camps. Similarly, there are names like Thaer (revolutionary), Bassel (courageous) and Nidhal (revolutionary struggle) that are very common to this day.
We are literally walking around carrying notions of Palestine and our struggle with us and planting the seeds of resistance within our children, we must be so frustrating!

i canāt get over how Extraā¢ the production of Sense8 is
they honestly seem to do everything in the most unnecessary over-complicated and expensive way possible, canāt say the end result isnāt worth it (best show iāve ever watched) but like:
- they film everything 99% of the time on location, season 2 took 8 months of traveling around the world to get done, the main cast didnāt go home for 4 months straight at some point, they also hire local actors and crews
- talking about traveling, that scene where capheus visits riley when sheās on a plane to iceland? yup, you guessed it, they casually filmed that while they are actually on the plane to iceland
- they also donāt separate, everyone goes together from place to place even if some actors only have a few lines in one location # the sense8 travelling circus
- honestly just the wayĀ āvisitingā works is so extra, they have to shoot the exact same scene up to 5 times all over the world and then edit it to together in a coherent way, imagine how hard itās for an actor to repeat a scene in the exact same way they did it 3 months ago in a completely different environment and mood, kudos to them
- this entire post about how the english dialogue for the not english speaking characters is structured will blow your mind
- rileyās opening scene when sheās playing at a club? that is an actual club with normal people not actors, they didnāt know tuppence wasnāt an actual dj, they had her go and pretend to dj in between two actual djs
- that applies for everything else really, if something can be done for reals they do it for reals, you know the scene at the end of season 2 were they all get electrocuted (aka the most stressful thing to watch ever), well, they got themselves electrocuted for reals, no, iām not shitting you, they had to hire experts to make sure they didnāt accidentally kill themselves or sth, i love this cast but iām also really concerned
- the wrestling match lito, hernando and dani attend was a real match with a real crowd
- also both pride scene were filmed at actual pride, the brazil pride was improvised except for litoās speech which lana wrote on their way there, because they found out very last minute that they could actually fit it in the schedule
- the way the cast talk about the show sounds like theyāre talking about their newborn baby sometimes like: āwolfgang is the biggest gift iāve ever received in my careerā, doona owns more sense8 merch than any fan in the world, freema and jamie crying at the table read when they got to amanita and nomiās engagement scene as if they were actually getting married, brianās letter after the cancelation and all their tweets about it, honestly this entire video of them basically talking about how much they love each other is the most extra and adorable thing ever
- the āsharingā scenes are mostly done through stunts and not post-production, the actors actually jump in and out of frame changing places, instead of you know, just editing the scene together afterwards
- they got fined filming theĀ āsex-nicā part of the orgy for public nudity, just sense8 things
- bollywood dance scene? all shot in one take, for no reason other than make it more complicated lol
- the pretty underwater scenes from the christmas special? they went to malta EXCLUSIVELY to shoot those, what?, 3 minutes?, iād say that was the most expensive montage ever but the fine for public nudity was $10k so idk
- talking about orgies, kind of unrelated but iām mentioning it anyway bc i canāt believe them, apparently the cast casually goes through life organizing netflix talent orgies? life imitates art?
- they also were in scotland for 9 days for some reason, even though only like 10 minutes of the actual show happen in scotland (iām guessing this is what happens when u double their budget for s2 lmao)Ā
- max riemelt dubs wolfie in german, also the dude that dubbed V from V for Vendetta dubs The Guy in french, if u gotta be extra donāt forget the details i guess
iām probs missing a million things so feel free to add more lol
tl,dr: Sense8 is Extraā¢ and I Love Itā¢
EDIT: apparently the page with the interview where jamie talked about the electrocution scene was changed? if you want proof that i didnāt pull it out of my ass check this thread
EDIT 2:Ā some more that i forgot:
- they celebrate their characters birthday, bc thatās normal and stuff
- lana has a tattoo that says āhomosensoriumā
- they celebrated the s2 wrap up w (brianās words) āthe most over the top fireworks display Iāve ever seenā while āwhatās upā played in the background
- in the āletās make everything real for The Artā department: the scene in berlin on new yearās eve? yup, that was also shoot during //actual new years eve//
EDIT 3: okay fucking hell, this is never ending and iām sorry, but i need to add this bc iām in awe:
- in the facebook live they did recently they mentioned they donāt rehearse, i (and i feel like everyone else that watched it) assumed it was a joke, because thatās ridiculous even for them, but of course it fucking wasnāt, Tina mentioned it again on an interview: ā(ā¦) with them thereās no such a thing as a rehearsal. and itās never about perfecting your performance or the take. instead, the camera keeps rolling and you do retakes with different energies and emotions. so, a single scene could have actually been shot over the span of months, in different countries and with different peopleāĀ where the fuck are their emmys seriously

āitās going to be WW3!!ā no bitch itās going to be vietnam, korea, afghanistan, itās going to be another war wherein the US commits unspeakable and indefensible acts against a severely weakened people seeking self determination. itās going to be another war where protesting is criminalized and āfreedom of speechā is gutted in the interest of pushing propaganda. itās going to be another nation of people added to the long list of victims of US imperialism and another demonstration of the strong undercurrent of fascism running through the foundation of america
