the horrors are persistent and the hijinks never cease
π΅πΈ The algorithm is going to keep silencing my posts, but they're not going to silence me. I grew up with little to no books that made me feel seen as a queer/bisexual Palestinian Arab American. Today, it's still not easy enough to find those books online, even though we have thousands of lists, posts, and directories to guide us. To make your search a little easier, here are a few queer Palestinian books to add to your TBR. Please help me spread this by reblogging. Consider adding these to your least for Read Palestine Week (click for resources)! π

something something chip knows celestial and is undead. something something fallen angel boy
FALLEN ANGEL BOY IM FUCKING WEEPING
Thinking about everything settling for a minute and Gillion looks at Chip and something flashes in his eyes, something that Chip canβt name. Itβs like grief, but itβs also something that Chip is afraid of. He remembers suddenly that Gillion is trained to kill Undead.
Gillion takes a stumbling step forward towards Chip and instead of doing something logical, like backing away because he understands that Gillion might try to kill him, he meets Gillion in the middle. And Gillion collapses into him. And Gillion is crying. Because his best friend is now one of the things he was trained to kill on sight.
And Chip reaches for something in the back of his mind, something to calm Gillion. He starts to sing. He sings a lullaby in Celestial and Gillion is shuddering with how hard heβs crying.
The voice of an angel, an angels song, yet coming from a now unholy throat.
chip is a fag 100% when I first saw that man i was like damn you a gay bitch twink ass haircut
