the way coral said "I killed them all for nothing" just before whe was bitten by a snake hit so hard. because for the whole games you saw her as a villian, as a bad person. But, just like everyone in that arena, she wanted to see her family and friends again, she was just a kid that wanted to live. And her last thought was about the innocent souls she had to kill for that.
I feel like in the midst of all of these daily tragedies we might forget that the people of Gaza are literally not superheroes and they do not possess special powers that we don't. I know Palestinians have been dehumanised but it also feels like sometimes this dehumanisation comes in the form of attributing superpowers to Palestinians.
Palestinians don't want to die.
Just like you, they look forward to weekends, to their morning coffee. They plan birthday parties for their kids and they complain about the laundry. They have a favourite chocolate brand and they hate not being able to get that tune out of their head. They have preferences and arguments. And just like you, they hate the sight of blood.
i know this is a long, long, LONG shot, but if anyone would happen to have a full video recording of the donmar warehouse production of next to normal with jack wolfe as gabe i would be forever indebted to you thanks besties
the scene where nick and charlie try and stay up all night is so so 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴. we can see how carefree and happy they truly are. no one is watching or judging them, they have no curfew, no homophobes or bullies to sort out. its purely them in their own bubble, and i think its so lovely to have a connection with someone where you can be yourself and not be scared because you know they will be there no matter what. in that moment they are 𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘦
this narlie hug is the Bane of my existence i am crumbling to the floor as i type this Let me tell u why . it’s bc in this scene, for the whole week nick had to endure being forced to sit next to b*n in his revision period; endured his taunts and shitty attitude and the doubt he was trying to plant into nick’s mind, listening to him only think of nick’s boyfriend as an object and bully charlie behind his back. and what’s even better? his homophobic brother is home from uni, so nick practically gets the same treatment he does at school at home but instead of ben, it’s his own brother. on top of that, he’s stressed about his exams, trying to navigate coming out, and of course, charlie was grounded. but charlie snuck out for nick anyway to see him, and i just. you can FEEL how much that meant to nick; that charlie was there for him and willing to break the rules if it meant he could see nick even if he’d get in trouble. and then when they meet up, they hug and it’s the way you can see Nick hold Charlie so tight despite only having one arm to, burying his face into charlie’s shoulder and scrunching his eyes up tight— you just know nick needed that hug SO bad. he’s been having to put up with so much shit from other people, he’s been so stressed out, but none of that really matters when he has charlie there to hold and to talk to and to cheer him up.
tldr ; THAT BOY IS NICK’S HOME AS LONG AS CHARLIE IS THERE WITH HIM EVERYTHING IS OKAY OIUUUGGHH HE IS SO IN LOVE 🙁🙁🙁🙁
