Benophie just wanting a few hours for themselves and not having even a minute to be together 😂
this is hilarious
Oh, absolutely.
But that doesn’t mean they didn’t try...
Benedict and Sophie are on Sophie’s bed; every kiss, touch, moan and sigh is stitching themselves back together after years of aching, frayed edges. Words and kisses tumbling over each other, as their hips roll, and their fingers scrabble with the final fabrics–
BANG “Benedict!” BANG “Sophie!”
“You have got to be kidding me,” Sophie groans, rising up from where she is straddling Benedict. Benedict reaches up and kisses her.
“Just ignore them,” he whispers.
“I love you, Ben, but I’m not letting any of our families see me naked.”
“Technically, you’re not naked,” Benedict's hands slip under the chemise, hands trailing up her thigh. “And don’t worry,” he whispers, kissing a spot by her ear that he knows feels 100% more pleasurable than it did in their dreams. “You just concentrate on us. I’ll keep them occupied.”
*~*~*
Cut to Anthony who is hammering on the door with Simon and Gareth.
“Benedict, you need to–” suddenly the door opens to reveal…
Another door. A white one with a scrawled sign in a teenager’s hand writing.
Do not disturb.
“You cannot be serious,” Anthony huffs and starts bangs down that door to reveal…
Another door.
And another.
And another.
Different colours, different makes. One of particular note, is a mahogany door, with a beautifully carved…middle finger.
Eventually, Anthony starts to use his powers, because the fighting has escalated and the weird umbrella-not-umbrellas have decided to join forces with the shady government agency. And really everyone is trying to vacate as quickly as possible before they are all carted off, and in desperation Gareth pops in to find…
“Oh–god–Yes! Ben!”
“Oh sh–”
“Ah!”
Gareth turns around, hands on his eyes.
The door disappears and Anthony stumbles in. He finds Ben, who is shielding Sophie, clutching onto her. Then Sophie, whose scowl could do more damage than Anthony’s powers.
“Gareth, you know the rule!”
“I know, I know,” Gareth cries, still not letting his hands drop from his eyes. “But I swear I didn’t see anything!”
“It’s still a violation of privacy!”
“It was in your best interests.”
“My best interest was being allowed to co–”
“I hope, Anthony, that you have the most fantastic reason known to man for disturbing our time.” Benedict growls. “And no, the end of the world will not cut it.”
*~*~*~*~*
I have half a mind to have that be an ongoing joke until the end–Benophie having 7 years of pent up sexual frustration. (Yes it has been that long since they met each other).
Benedict and Sophie try to sneak off when they get to the safehouse–before being pulled back by their siblings.
Benedict and Sophie in a closet only for Hyacinth and Gareth to disturb them because they wanted to talk…yeah, just talk to each other.
Slipping into the shower together only for the water to get cut off because the safehouse is being raided.
And the first time they do have a bed neither are in the mood because Benedict has just had a near-breakdown and gosh darn it, they’ve got to address that 4 year separation.
But finally they do have the chance, in the ruins of Aubrey Hall, where the sourness of loss is finally replaced with the sweetest of realities. And it is wonderful…until they wake up to the sound of bullets.

please consider how you engage with aaron bushnell's death. you may react to it as you will, but it's crucial to remember that his death was specifically a call to action. it was not meant solely to shock but to draw attention to a vast moral hypocrisy: that to many, a soldier dying in a campaign backed by the U.S. government is noble, even if the soldier kills innocents to do so, even if the cause is morally bankrupt--but this? this is insanity. a man taking his own life, on his own terms, in an attempt to help others while hurting nobody else, is somehow less rational and more horrifying than the mass killing of civilians.
of course aaron's death was horrific. but as he said beforehand, it is realistically no more horrific than what's happening in gaza. if we can't stomach this, then why can we stomach children being bombed? thousands being starved? for all that self immolation is, it brings death in a matter of minutes. it is a fraction of the amount of pain, fear, and grief that people in gaza are experiencing. it's just that we are able to quantify it. and this tiny, quantifiable sliver of horror is still so unbelievably awful. how can anyone bear to think about anything else when this horror is happening a millionfold in palestine? this is the question aaron bushnell was asking. and he wanted you to face it, head-on, watching him burn to death.
I've been seeing people make fanart. minimalist graphics to sell on t-shirts. to commodify his death, to mythologize it not a day afterwards, is not only in poor taste but a hindrance to his message. the answer is not commodification, nor is it defeatism, nor is it rejoicing in his death. if you want to honor aaron's legacy, take action. channel your horror and your outrage into making a material change. this wasn't about him. this was about palestine. remember that it was always about palestine.

“When she applied to run in the Boston Marathon in 1966 they rejected her saying: “Women are not physiologically able to run a marathon, and we can’t take the liability.” Then exactly 50 years ago today, on the day of the marathon, Bobbi Gibb hid in the bushes and waited for the race to begin. When about half of the runners had gone past she jumped in. She wore her brother’s Bermuda shorts, a pair of boy’s sneakers, a bathing suit, and a sweatshirt. As she took off into the swarm of runners, Gibb started to feel overheated, but she didn’t remove her hoodie. “I knew if they saw me, they were going to try to stop me,” she said. “I even thought I might be arrested.” It didn’t take long for male runners in Gibb’s vicinity to realize that she was not another man. Gibb expected them to shoulder her off the road, or call out to the police. Instead, the other runners told her that if anyone tried to interfere with her race, they would put a stop to it. Finally feeling secure and assured, Gibb took off her sweatshirt. As soon as it became clear that there was a woman running in the marathon, the crowd erupted—not with anger or righteousness, but with pure joy, she recalled. Men cheered. Women cried. By the time she reached Wellesley College, the news of her run had spread, and the female students were waiting for her, jumping and screaming. The governor of Massachusetts met her at the finish line and shook her hand. The first woman to ever run the marathon had finished in the top third.”

large zionist blocklist below
i've compiled a list of all the blogs positively interacting with the @/israel-palestine-bingo blog
there's more info about how the names were complied under the read more, but just to get an idea of how vile the blog is, i just want to quickly mention that the first prize offered in their pinned post, "eight hours of memi mamtera," is the song used in the viral israeli tiktok trend of kidnapping, humiliating, and torturing palestinians in the west bank.
and the "grand prize," which needs no explanation, is "all of palestine! for free!"
some quick info: all the names here have either approvingly replied to, reblogged from, or liked one or more of @/israel-palestine-bingo's posts. for likes, i've only gathered names that appear under their original posts; mostly ones that have not been reblogged, and some with 2-3 reblogs that have not left the immediate sphere of zionists. i've also made sure that these are blogs who have either liked more than one posts from them, or who frequently reblogs from other zionists.
you can also quickly look through the blog yourself (it doesn't have that many posts), or check out any of the names on the list with a quick 'israel' or 'palestine' in the search bar or their blogs.
there are more screenshots at the end of the posts, including ones showing who made the blog (ani-lo-daredevil / katenotbishop), and the bingo board itself (ashenpumpkin).
blocking tip: fastest way to mass block users (on desktop) is to go to settings -> the blog your blocking them from -> scroll all the way down to 'blocked tumblrs,' and then copy-paste the name your blocking
names listed below in alphabetical order
reminder again, block don't engage
