one of my highly specific headcanons is that Steve’s lasting memory of Eddie in high school was in the drama club’s production of west side story & how Eddie had the audience in stitches with his performance of “gee officer krupke.” Steve brings it up as a distraction before the battle & Eddie laughs all delighted cause 1) Steve remembered & 2) his characterisation as being part of the Jets was HUGELY inspired by how “King Steve” swaggered about the school like, come on, these lyrics:
When you're a Jet
You're the top cat in town
You're the gold-medal kid
With the heavyweight crown!
When you're a Jet
You're the swingin'est thing
Little boy, you're a man
Little man, you're a king!
and I don’t know, I just think there’s something in Steve realising that even way back then someone was getting very close to the fact that some of the “King Steve” stuff was a performance, even if Eddie was kinda taking the piss out of him at the time. There’s something to be said about there being a freedom in not taking yourself so seriously, that I don’t think Steve has really been given? & the idea that Eddie even subconsciously understood where Steve was coming from—like “the freak” & “the king” personas as two sides of the same coin.
And well, no-one has time to get into all of that when they’re planning to save the world. But maybe it doesn’t need to be said—maybe they both understand when Eddie is humming west side story songs in the RV with a cheeky smirk, and Steve is rolling his eyes but laughing despite himself. Maybe that’s enough.

How can you "stand with israel" when Israel's winning condition of this "conflict" is the eradication of the native population?
I reblogged a single post about children pleading for their lives that’s not standing with shit. Posting isn’t fuck activism and I’m sick of pretending like it is. Have you called your representatives, have you been voting with Israel in mind for past elections? If you’re an American Christian and you give money to your church you’re most likely standing with Israel more than I am. Christian tourism to Israel is one of the most lucrative travel industry on the planet and it’s mostly“non profit” through church donations. It directly benefits American evangelicals for Israel to exist. If you really believe in a free Palestine kill yourself in front of a pastor. Y’all are so ready to say all deaths are justified for anti colonialism. Better yet kill yourself on the steps of capital hill or drive to a reservation and do it there at least you’ll die with your white guilt satisfied. The win condition for western civilization is the eradication of indigenous people groups.
Yes colonialism is bad. Yes what has been happening in Palestine for decades is nothing short of genocide. But killing individual Israeli citizens is not the solution. Doing antisemitism online is not the solution. Posting on fucking tumblr dot com isn’t a solution. Extending basic empathy to children on both sides of the conflict is also not a solution but it feels a lot better than calling for mass death

lily evans headcanons
- digs her nails into her hand when she’s anxious or frustrated and often has nail dents in her palms bc of it
- has a teddy bear in the shape of a blue fox petunia gave her when they were kids. her names juniper and lily still sleeps with her when she’s scared or missing her sister
- generally prefers savoury to sweet but her comfort food is chocolate chip cookies and it’s the only thing that can cheer her up sometimes
- blueprint for every burnt out gifted kid
- has GAD and gets panic attacks often
- when she was a kid, lily would practice doing magic by changing her and petunias appearance. lily always changed her hair and eyes a different colour (one week she’d have blue hair and gold eyes and the next she’d have pink hair and purple eyes) as a creative outlet and one day she changed her hair red and eyes green and she liked it so much she kept it. petunia didn’t want to look colourful, she wanted to look glamorous so she always asked lily to make her hair exactly like marilyn monroe’s and to have her blue eyes. even after they stopped being close, lily always dyed her hair red and petunia always dyed her hair blonde to remember this moment of their childhood (poc evans family!!!)
- has a list of all the musical instruments she wants to learn how to play which includes the piano, violin, bass guitar, ukulele, clarinet and saxophone
- sometimes can’t sleep at night because her brain just won’t shut off
- whenever she gets close to someone all she can hear in the back of her mind is petunia saying “you’re a freak, no one will ever love you” and she thinks about how her first friend (severus) and her own sister can’t stand her now, so the person she’s close to will probably start to hate her as well so she tries to cut them off first. remus was the first person she tried to do this to and still want to be her friend
- she’s always trying to be the best at school because she sacrificed her relationship with her family to be there so she feels like she has to make her time at school worth it
- vans girlie
- had always wanted a cat and finally got a brown cat when she was 14. she named her nutmeg and she kinda became mary and marlene’s cat too
- her mother is extremely perfectionistic and critical and that kind of thinking worked its way into lily’s brain and now she feels like nothing she does is good enough
- incredibly close with her dad, she really wants him to be proud of her
- would rather die than admit she needs help

It was hard to pick,,,,, so, fjskdjsksjs it’s so many (only sort of sorry,,ngl) 😂
5,17 for kiyazan
9,25 for daemon nd karima
8,15 for Gideon and valen loll
29 for all of em 💀
Once again I FORGOT ABOUT A BLORBO ASK but I literally had this in the drafts and everything and today I bring you answers FHRHDJKSSJ
Kiyazan:
5. How do they comfort each other when they are sad?
Yazan is a big actions guy so if something is bothering her he’d want to take care of it and fix it immediately also kiki loves cuddles and cuddles she shall receive fjskakdjdk will literally do anything to make it better,, holding her, talking about it, dancing it out, ordering her favorite takeout (yazan talking about it is a mix him being sincere and dissing the shit out of the person/situation and I kinda love it djdjskdjdk) leaving kiki’s part for you because I wanna know 😌💗
17. Their ways of expressing their love.
We talked about yazan putting up the shelves that kiara got that have been sitting around since forever and that pretty much what it’s about 😂 he just does things for her, or does things so she doesn’t have to. Pre relationship or pre living together yazan would just go around her house and fix anything that needed fixing fjdksidjdk,, also a big part of why he doesn’t mind doing the chores. To put it shortly acts of service and quality time!
Daemon and karima:
9. How open are they with their feelings?
I know why you’re asking this 😂💀 karima is…. Unfortunately still not the best at it at least in a serious vulnerable context and she bottles up a lot BUT she would sit down with him and be like “can I tell you something homie to homie 😔” and even then she tries to to keep it from getting too deep even when it comes to expressing love she’s not one to get Too sentimental but will let him know she cares about him. But this is mostly when they’re still in the beginning of their relationship (honestly it might take her 2+ years of being like that 💀) but I will say the first time she lets herself cry in front of him…………..
25. Share any headcanons about their relationship.
FHDKSJSKDJ ok so you know karima will just KO whenever wherever and her sleep is heavyyyyyy lol and I just think daemon doesn’t let her sleep in her makeup that’s all 😌 she’s knocked tf out snoring and all and he’s just 🥰 wiping her makeup off and doing her skincare for her
Valen and Gideon:
8. What are their most prominent memories of each other?
PLEASE 😭 valen’s is that he used to keep a pet rat as a kid, everybody refused to acknowledge it because it wasn’t actually a pet it was some rat he found lurking in their gardens and deemed it his bestie and would check up on it every day fssksjdjdj and when the rat died gideon was the one that buried and held a funeral for it 😔
Gideon’s most prominent memory has to be valen punching his dad in a room full of people loll bc not only was it incredibly humiliating and an act of love towards his bestie but it was also the first time anyone really stood up to this bully of a man and he just got wrecked by a teenager fjskaksjdj it was great seeing him hunched over w a bleeding nose until he made a comment about the company his son keeps and then it was both boys vs the guards trying to tear them off him fjdksksjskdn
15. Does their view of themselves differ from their partner’s view?
Sort of lol,, gideon struggles so much with his self image and thinks he’s broken and has nothing to offer or that letting ppl get to know him is essentially a burden on him and them so he just doesn’t make friends or meaningful relationships easily and valen over here just Fails to fathom it because to him gideon’s the most solid friend he’s ever had and literally nothing like all those things he says about himself and so he always makes it a point to let him know all the things he appreciates about him
Valen on the other hand thinks he’s the most interesting and amazing person anyone has the pleasure of knowing and that he’s worth it and because he’s set that expectation for himself any criticism from others or negative emotions from himself is shoved aside in favor of the facade and while gideon agrees he’s amazing and lowkey idolizes him lol he’s the only one actually capable of giving him a reality check that he’ll listen to and seeing him as just valen
All:
29. What are your favorite moments that happen between them?
WAAHHHH LMAO ok to be completely fair my fave kiyazan moment is them throwing up into the same toilet together and kiki tolerating the bugs yazan collects despite hating them bc if this isn’t love idk what is 😂
My favorite daemon karima moment is him kicking the ball in her face when they first met DJDKSKDJDJFN and also ceramics class
And my fave valengideon moment is them going into the city and buying some lame lizard which turned out to be a large dragon they tried hiding in a barn where hay and fire don’t mix very well SGDHFKSKDJDJ rip
