refaat alareer - "let it be a tale"
A Palestinian poet who was martyred by an Israeli air strike on 7th of December.
Translation by (@tameeolivefern)
Poem in English and Arabic:
إذا كان لا بد أن أموت
فعليك أن تحيا
لتقص قصتي
لتبيع أشيائي
لتشتري قطعة قماش
و بضعة خيوط
(لتكون بيضاء بذيل طويل)
حتى طفل في مكان ما في غزة
يحدق بالسماء
ينتظر اباه الذي غادر على عجل
بلا أن يودع أحدًا
حتى جسده
حتى نفسه -
يرى الطائرة الورقية طائرتي التي صنعتها
تحلق عاليا
و يظن لوهلة أن ملاكًا عاليا
يُعيد الحب
إذا كان لا بد أن أموت
لتجعلها تحضر الأمل
لتجعلها قصة
If I must die,
you must live to tell my story
to sell my things
to buy a piece of cloth
and some strings,
(make it white with a long tail)
so that a child, somewhere in Gaza
while looking heaven in the eye
awaiting his dad who left in a blaze-
and bid no one farewell
not even to his flesh
not even to himself-
sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up
above
and thinks for a moment an angel is there
bringing back love
If I must die
let it bring hope
let it be a tale
saw the fnaf movie this past weekend (twice!) and it was sooooo good i will never recover
here’s doodles of the original 5 ! (i’m also planning on drawing every other character too …👀)
gained so many followers off that who/what shitpost and yet not a SINGLE one of you hooligans is sending your distortion headcanons to my ask box. unbelievable.
hey I’ve got a really cool idea for a heart/mind interaction
Soul: Ugh, I feel like I've been going crazy lately
Heart: Crazy?
Mind: Don't you fucking dare
Heart: I was crazy once
Mind: No.
Heart: They put me in a-
Mind: I'm going to put you in an early grave, if you don't shut your damn mouth
forgot I did this
I can’t believe how little I’ve drawn him when I probably love Elias as much as Jon!
(100% he gets his Eye pins, cuff links, etc. custom made for the AESTHETIC)
Getting into the Magnus Archives fandom before you finish the series is wild because they’ve all made a collective decision to pretend the cast loves each other and it’s all just an office drama, supported by copious fanfic and fanart and things. And then you get to the actual content and it’s like,, most of them genuinely hate each other. Not even in a cute way, they genuinely want each other to die
Favorita abt TMA is that all the boys are the least combatants possible while the girls at any sign of threat want to tear things apart
so true. tma women are all like "I'm gonna kill you badly with my fire and my knives and my worms and my guns and my explosives" and tma men are all like "oohh you'll be sorry for that in four seasons time when I finally have enough trauma to harness into a superpower." even big bad elias is completely weak to physical violence being enacted on him, he had to outsource talking melanie down from stabbing him to jon and it takes him a full scene of mind games to stop basira from knocking him into next week.

[ID: Digital bust of Gerry Keay wiping away blood coming from his nose. He is pictured as a young adult with pale skin and long dark hair that is blond at the roots. He is wearing a Metallica t-shirt as well as a spiked bracelet. He has a couple of piercings, one in his eyebrow and two 'snakebites' below his bottom lip. Each of his knuckles is tattooed with a minimalistic eye. His chin is somewhat tilted down, gazing up with a furrowed brow. Although his expression is tough and stoic, his eyes are a little glassy, leaving the impression that the injury hurts more than he is willing to give away. END ID]
