If You Asked Kim Whether He Regrets Transferring To The 41st He Would Say No, But There Are Moments He’s

Kim Kitsuragi leans against a wall with his gun drawn. He says, "We should be getting closer to their hideout now... we'll need to be more careful from here on out--"

Offscreen, Kim yells at Harry du Bois to "GET DOWN!". Harry has a startled look on his face with one arm stuck in the trash, presumably looking for evidence. In the background, someone has jumped into frame behind Harry and is pointing a gun at him. Harry has a blue dot and purple dot orbiting one side of his head, and a yellow dot on the other.

While Harry is striking a final disco pose with his finger up, a shot rings out and a bullet rips through his shoulder/chest. Offscreen, Kim shouts, "Goddamnit, no! (Not again!)"

if you asked kim whether he regrets transferring to the 41st he would say no, but there are moments he’s come close. minific version under cut

LIEUTENANT KIM KITSURAGI – “We’re getting closer to their hideout… we’ll need to be extra careful not to be seen from here on.”

RANCID-SMELLING TRASH CAN – You nod and continue to sift through liquefied food waste and discarded packaging, reaching past bags filled to the brim with likely unsavory substances and trying your best to avoid any used syringes. Nothing good yet, but mama didn’t raise a quitter (you think). If you can just reach in a little further…

LIEUTENANT KIM KITSURAGI – His voice shoots through the air like a bullet– “GET DOWN!”

YOU – Huh?

SAVOIR FAIRE – You heard the good lieutenant! BUST A MOVE!

VOLITION – What? No, you need to–

SAVOIR FAIRE – UPUPUP! NO TIME! Don’t keep him waiting, hotshot! Impress him with your dancing prowess!

LOGIC – Why the hell would he be asking–

SAVOIR FAIRE – You know what you need to do.

YOU –

[VOLITION - EASY] Drop to the ground. (-3 Don’t keep him waiting)

[SAVOIR FAIRE - CHALLENGING] Get down with your bad self. (+3 The ONLY answer.)

“Whuh?”

“Not now kitten, daddy’s looking for treasure in the garbage.”

[SAVOIR FAIRE - CHALLENGING] Get down with your bad self.

[CHECK SUCCESS]

SAVOIR FAIRE – The world slows, narrows down precisely to your point of existence, much like a spotlight shining down on a rising starlet. Your time has come. You must herald the coming of a new age of man, the birth of a rhythm-based society that communicates solely via body language and dance. GO, my apostle, show the world and spread the gospel!

YOU – You rip your hand out of its stinky prison and dance like you've never danced before in your life (as far as you can remember). With all the energy and panache you can muster from within your abused body, you erupt into a flurry of motion and improvised dance music (in the form of mumbled basslines and mouth-made drum sounds).

You’re unstoppable; caught up in the euphoria of busting it down, you twirl and shimmy… In between blissful micro-seconds of self-expression in movement you catch the lieutenant's eyes, which are wide with shock.

You've really dazzled him!

VOLITION – No, you idiot! You’re gonna get–

PERCEPTION – A gunshot rings out behind you.

PAIN THRESHOLD – OWWWW FUCK!

From Gaza to Ireland: Out of the Fire of War to the Fire of Soul-Crushing Survival Guilt and Fear for my Family

Note: My main account (@mahmoudkhalafff) was unfortunately terminated by Tumblr for no reason. This is my back up account. Please continue to boost my campaign. We are too close!

At times of peace, having to be away from your family for months and years is a high price you pay for obtaining an academic degree or securing a better job. Imagine while you are away, they were trapped in a besieged strip of land and thousands of missiles rained down on that besieged area of 360 km² around the clock for almost 11 months. That would crush every cell of your mind and drive you crazy, wouldn't it?!

Imagine suddenly getting addicted to watching the news and the gory videos and pictures all the freaking time. You follow relevant social media pages that only show images, videos, and stories of entire families that were wiped out in an instant in an airstrike and deemed as collateral insignificant damage. While plunging deeper and deeper into an unprecedented state of acute depression, I wondered: how come all my suffering from displacement, fear, and hunger in Gaza for 5 months during the war before being evacuated to Ireland is nothing but a drop compared to my ocean of suffering now?

The constant thinking of my family in Gaza during the genocide and all the potential scenarios is consuming my sanity and mental health at a time in my life and a place where I am required to be 199% focused and productive. To give you a glimpse of my horrible psychological suffering these days: I fear going to sleep because I know horrible horrible nightmares are waiting for me on the other side. Some have to do with the horrors of wars I witnessed in Gaza myself and others relate to the horrible potential scenarios I keep thinking about.

Seeing the images and pictures of Gaza makes you think a thousand earthquakes hit every neighborhood of the Gaza Strip! Nothing and no one has been spared. The horrific war has turned the place into a hell on earth, unfortunately. How can young people have any hope for a better future seeing the mass destruction and the relentless Israeli efforts to stifle Gaza and squeeze hope out of its people as a form of collective punishment. How monstrous and heartless!!!

Amid all this chaos and madness, my number one priority and focus is evacuating my family to Egypt as a first step and hopefully reuniting with them in Ireland at a later stage.

Please do consider helping me save my family by donating, reblogging, and sharing.
