Some people freak out a bit about the age difference. Uh, they think What's this 69 year old man doing with a guy seven times his age? And, you know, I don't care, they could call me a cradle snatcher. Who cares? I decided to bite him and we're gonna be together forever.
A Cry from the Heart of Gaza: A Family Searching for Safety Amidst Destruction and Danger
Hello, my name is Abdulsalam Al-Anqar, I'm 26 years old, married to Aya Al-Batniji, and we have a little girl named Iman, who is one year old 👶. My family consists of seven members: my mother Iman (49 years old), my father Ahmed (54 years old), and my brothers Mohammed (14 years old), Nader (17 years old), and Omar (21 years old).
Due to the devastating war in Gaza, our homes were completely destroyed 🏚️, leaving us without a place to live. We were forced to flee south in search of safety, but that safety has been elusive. We have been displaced more than nine times, often finding ourselves in the line of fire, with military airstrikes occurring near our temporary shelters.
The hardest part is seeing the fear in my little daughter Iman's eyes 😔. We are now living in a shelter that is unfit for human habitation. The place is overrun with garbage 🗑️, with no proper sanitation, and the environment is extremely unhealthy. Because of these terrible conditions, my daughter Iman has fallen ill 🤒, and my parents’ health has also deteriorated.
We are trapped in southern Gaza, far from our home, which was completely destroyed, and we have no place to return to even if the war ends 🏠. Our most urgent need now is to escape the diseases and epidemics that are threatening us. After the World Health Organization announced cases of polio in Gaza, we feared for Iman's life and vaccinated her against this deadly disease on September 2, 2024 💉.
The only solution is to find refuge in a safe country like Egypt, where we can receive the medical care we desperately need 🚑. However, the cost of travel is between $6,000 and $7,000, a sum far beyond our means 💸.
We urgently need your help to save our family. Even a small contribution can make a huge difference in our lives 🌟.

For trying help me
So, I feel like I’m losing my mind. I keep seeing metas about how Aziraphale wants Crowley to return to Heaven and be an angel again because he wants them to be on the same side/be good/change/etc., etc., etc. but I don’t see that at all. I actually see it as the very opposite.
Aziraphale loves Crowley just as he is. But there’s something more. Something huge.
Aziraphale loves Crowley and because he is an angel who is stuck in seeing things as black and white, he constantly praises Crowley for being nice. For being good. For being kind.
Aziraphale has watched Crowley on and off for 6,000 years. He watched him thwart the plans of Heaven and Hell because it was unjust. He spared the lives of innocents. He did small things that made Aziraphale happy just because (like making Hamlet successful and saving valuable books). And because Aziraphale sees things in black and white, he sees all the things Crowley has done as nice, as good, as kind.
Crowley vehemently attests he’s not nice or good or kind.
He’s not exactly wrong nor is he lying when he says this. When Crowley spares goats during a cruel bet over a righteous man and swallowing laudanum to prevent a suicide, when he prevents Armageddon by working with Aziraphale and stopping the Anti-Christ from being the Anti-Christ, he’s not doing the nice/good/kind thing.
He’s doing the right thing.
Crowley chooses to do the right thing without hesitation. He is better than all of Heaven and Hell who have callous and dispassionate view of all existence because he questions, because he makes choices. Crowley sees the world for all its messiness and he sees himself. He sees a place where he fits in. He sees the blurred edges.
And Aziraphale sees that, even if seeing the blurred edges is hard for him.
But here’s the thing that Aziraphale can’t voice.
It’s the reason why he told Crowley about being allowed to return to Heaven and become an angel again. He doesn’t want Crowley to change. He doesn’t think Crowley is flawed. Or not enough.
It’s something that is so monumental that it cannot be put into words. Because to put it into words would be more than blasphemy. It’s down right unthinkable for anyone in Heaven, Hell, or Earth to say what Aziraphale knows deep in his soul.
God was wrong to cast out Crowley.
Aziraphale believes Crowley can/should return to Heaven because he knows that Crowley should never have fallen in the first place. He wants him to be forgiven because when Crowley fell it was unjust. Aziraphale is trying to correct a mistake. He’s trying to do the right thing.
Yes, Crowley would never accept returning to Heaven. And Aziraphale was wrong to even suggest it (although that conversation is another can of worms to unpack).
Aziraphale loves Crowley. He loves him exactly as he is. He doesn’t want him to change. Aziraphale knows that Crowley the best of all of them. He wants to change Heaven because of it. Because God was wrong and Aziraphale knows it.
Aziraphale may have difficulty seeing beyond black and white, but when it comes to Crowley he sees everything crystal clear and in vivid color.
i have so many hobbies and interests but each day the four horsemen (instant gratification, shortened attention span, procrastination, exhaustion) grab me by the throat and shake me until i collapse in my comfy bed
u can't criticize lestat bc it's homophobic. he is the way he is because he's a bisexual blonde man. that's just how they are
u can't criticize armand because it's ableist. he's literally neurodivergent and a minor. killing and gaslighting are his special interests
u can't criticize louis because he's never done anything wrong in his whole life. him killing the gay population of Paris and San Francisco en masse is actually incredibly progressive if u think about it
u can't criticize claudia because she's literally just a girl. god forbid women have hobbies??
