This.

Can you do something for me, please?

I want you to reblog this if you believe that two people can be very close and physically affectionate with one another, but still have a completely nonsexual, non-romantic relationship. 

Even if the two people in question are capable of being sexually or romantically attracted to one another. 

Because the friendship I share with someone I consider family in a way that transcends blood has been typecast as a romantic relationship ENTIRELY too many times, and I’m beginning to get sick of it. 

Concept

A small, wooden house. Surrounded by what traditionally would be called an unkept garden. Weeds treated like flowers, grass ankle high and pretty stone circles with even more 'weeds'. A veranda stuffed with herbs in flower pots and a single chair leads to a door, painted cobalt. Inside more flowerpots on every windowsill, hanging from the ceiling and standing in corners. It smells of wet soil and spices and warmth. Furniture is old and made of dark wood, delicate carvings caching the eye. Proofs of witchcraft are everywhere. Spell jars between the flowers on the windowsill, salt lining the entrance, crystals and gems lying around.

Tea water is about to boil, a pretty mug and a nice tea blend ready. Freshly baked cookies are sitting on the table, a book not far away. The cover is really pretty and the writing so relatable it's almost suffocating. But it's calming to know not to be the only one with these problems. There's a small spider in the far away corner that hasn't moved since it had gotten there and probably never will. The sleek form of a cat sneaks around the corner, waiting for her friend to sit down so she could jump on her lap.

It's evening and the frogs are preparing their nightly concert. Crickets are chirping and the chickens returned from their journey through the garden. They are well fed, happy and tired. They know they have nothing to fear. The fox that used to frighten them has found it easier to take the dog food in front of the hole in the fence he snug through. He is never too far away from the cottage. The chickens don't know death by hands, only the long slumber when they are old enough to rest.

The cat has followed her human to the chair on the veranda, purring in their lap. The sun is about to set but it's last light will be enough to read a little longer.

AN II Not sure what this is, but I might expand on it at some point.

Reader who somehow is an impeccable judge of character. Reader who deescalates situations before others notice it's going off the rails. Reader who draws the attention of Price when they come to stand behind a child whose guardian took a menacing step towards them, face more threatening than he has ever seen it. Reader who, after months and years of working with Price, still surprises him with their instinctive ability to be at the right place at the right time. Reader whom he sees flinch for the first time when their family comes to tap them out for the holidays. Reader who comes back from the holidays quiet and jumpy. Reader who shrinks at harsh words. Reader who falls into blind panic when Soap pins them down during training. Reader who breaks his nose to struggle free. Reader who cant breathe. Price whose heart breaks when he realizes why reader is so good at predicting chaos.

Do Good: Get Fic

Hello! For reasons I go into more detail with here, I'm diving back into the fray of the COD:MWF fandom.

Civilian Asset and my Price marriage of convenience fic I never posted are both available for "patronage."

How it works:

I am not touching your money. I have a list of charities below, and you can donate as much or as little as you want. No minimum. We're all poor. I get it. If even $5 goes towards a good cause I'll feel I've done SOMETHING.

Make a donation to any of the charities listed below. Send me a censored screenshot of your confirmation page or confirmation email. Be sure to censor your name, address, financial information, email, etc. Let me see the date (if possible), the charity's name, and an amount (if possible).

Let me know which fic you'd like to see updated (Civilian Asset or the Price marriage of convenience fic). Let me know if you'd like to be listed as the chapter's "patron" or whether you'd rather remain anonymous.

Notes: I may not always wait for a patron once a story gets rolling, but I'll always bump the requested fic to the top of my to-write list after a donation. Please feel free to send an ask with questions.

The charities:

The Palestinian Children's Relief Fund

This organization sets up emergency medical centers, provides food for displaced families, has a special program to gather diapers and formula for infants, has an orphan sponsorship program, and even has a program specifically for pediatric Palestinian amputees.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society

This is essentially Palestine's branch of the broader Red Cross/Red Crescent umbrella org. This is a boots-on-ground group who have suffered casualties of their own while trying to rescue civilians. Highly reputable and working to save lives.

Doctors Without Borders

Although not as region-tailored, this organization has a long history of work in Palestine, which has helped them with access and understanding. I can't promise a donation with go directly to the Gaza crisis, but it's a current priority, and this international aid group is one of the best.

Individual Family GoFundMe

This fundraiser is to sustain a family split by the border closing and trying to survive both in the warzone and in a whole new country with minimal support. There are many of these going on, and I recommend investigated more, because many have been vetted by third parties. This one was personally vetted by a mutual friend who reached out when they heard about my plan. You can find out more by following the link.

He’s a paragon of mental health, guys.

I cannot understand how some people "don't know how to portray Gaz" in fics, if we literally have this clip

Oh no no no Oh no thats not good. Thats not good at all.
