Ramadan Is Coming Up And I Cant Stress Enough How Much Palestinians Have Never Got The Chance To Experience

Ramadan is coming up and I can’t stress enough how much Palestinians have never got the chance to experience one normal Ramadan for 75years

You may not have been subjected to this, but as a person from an Arabic country, every Ramadan from every year there’s always headlines of Israeli iof soldiers or Israeli extremist settlers attacking Palestinians during Ramadan, especially Palestinian worshipers trying to pray in the al aqsa mosque

It’s happens almost every single year

Ramadan is suppoused to be Muslim people’s month of worship, of Baraka and it is very important to Muslim people

But Palestinians never ever experienced a normal Ramadan because Israel attacks them Viciously

Almost

Every

Single

Fucking

Year

And I will dare and say that Israel does it on purpose, it does it every Ramadan on purpose

And now, this year, with Ramadan being only a few weeks away, I doubt that they’ll have a normal Ramadan, not in the West Bank, and not in Gaza

All what I have to say here is that Israel will still follow this trend, something bad is gonna happen this Ramadan, keep an eye on Palestine during Ramadan

The Loop: Chapter 1

(TW Death and general Hunger games content) Grey was keeping Eldest close this loop. From what he could tell, a pinkie promise had been what got him stuck in this mess so he didn't know if Eldest's careless words last loop had done anything. 

Eldest seemed okay, but Eldest always seemed okay. He was every the positive one, always hiding what was going on with him. 

World Tour was just a tag along the pair had picked up. 

Grey was indifferent to World. He was just another person in these games as far as Grey was concerned. Sure they were acquaintances at most, but Grey didn't really care if he was part of the group or not. His main focus was on Eldest. 

His friend was still acting okay, maybe a little quieter, but Grey figured that was fine. He'd seen Eldest get like that sometimes.

 Maybe Eldest's promise didn't do anything. Maybe Eldest wasn't in a loop. Maybe this was just a Grey thing.

He sighed as the trio started to settle down for the night. The forest was dark and the trees seemed to swallow any and all light.

Eldest settled against a tree and pulled a blanket close.

World was off collecting some more wood for the fire.

Grey watched Eldest quietly. "You okay?"

Eldest looked up, surprise on his face and immediately looked away from Grey's face. "Yeah I'm doing fine. Just tired. This situation sucks..."

Grey sighed, leaning against the same tree. "It does suck, doesn't it?" Grey knew he should probably put more effort into pretending this was his first time here. Everyone else had only been through this once, losing their memories of the previous loops. But Grey couldn't find the energy to care. He didn't like it, but he was getting numb to this hellhole by now.

"Yeah." Eldest sounded quiet, defeated.

Grey was suddenly aware that something was very wrong. Eldest was never quiet like this.

"Hey, are you okay?" Grey tried again.

"I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be? This whole situation sucks ass and I hate it, but it's whatever."

Grey frowned. Eldest's voice sounded off.

World came back, dropping an armful of wood down beside the unlit fire.

Grey didn't miss how World glanced at Eldest and his expression shifted.

"Is everything okay?" World asked, sounding concerned.

Grey shrugged, watching as World kneeled down and started the fire. "Dunno."

World gave him a look and moved closer to Eldest. "Eldest?"

Grey turned to his friend.

"Eldest are you okay?" World continued, his voice filled with concern.

Grey frowned as he studied his friend.

Eldest wasn't looking at either of them.

"Eldest, come on. Are you okay?" Grey tried.

Eldest finally looked up, meeting Grey's eyes.

Grey was alarmed at what he saw.

"Eldest what's wrong?"

Eldest was quiet for a long time before his face crumpled. "I can't take it anymore!"

Grey was confused.

"This- this isn't fair! We don't deserve this, none of us! You don't remember but I do! We've done this before! It's hell, and I can't do it again!"

Grey stared in shock as Eldest dissolved into hysterical tears.

He looked to World, seeing that World was equally as shocked.

Grey moved over and put a hand on Eldest's shoulder.

"What do you mean, you've done this before?" World asked, his voice soft.

Eldest shook his head. "I can't- I can't do this again. I can't watch you guys die again, not like last time. I can't do it."

Grey felt a stab of guilt. The promise had done something. Eldest was in on the loops.

"Eldest," World said, horror edging into his voice. "Are you... in a loop?"

"I-" Eldest hiccupped. "What?"

World knelt down beside them. "How many times have you done this? How many times have you been through this game?"

"O-one?"

World looked like a mix between devastated and relieved. 

Grey's eyes went impossibly wider. "World- What do you know about the loop?"

Worlds head jerked to look at Grey, the horror taking over again. "You too?"

Grey felt sick and angry and... a lot of things honestly. "What do you mean "too?" Have you been looping? How many times have you done this?"

World winced, his brain frazzled. "I... lost count a while ago."

Eldest looked up at World, realization starting to seep in. He calmed just a little realizing he wasn't alone in this horrible game. "How long is a while?"

World looked away. "I don't know, 150, 200 maybe? It's been a long time, and it's starting to get blurry."

Grey was stunned. "Two... two hundred times?" He felt even more sick. "It's only been 90 for me. Fuck..."

Eldest was silent, tears still trickling down his face. 

World could feel their eyes on him and it made his skin prickle. His brain felt fuzzy, his mouth dry. Panic and a whole slew of emotions he didn't even know how to process scorched through him. He felt like he was choking. He wanted to throw up, cry, run. Anything to avoid dealing with the crushing weight of this revelation.

He looked away, unable to handle their gazes. He was so tired, so tired of these death games.

"I-" World felt like a trapped animal, a mouse being circled by a snake. "I don't know what's going on. I don't understand. I-I thought I was going insane."

He stood, shaking, feeling overwhelmed and scared. He didn't want to have this conversation right now. Not ever really. He just wanted out.

"Wait!" Grey was on his feet.

World took a step back.

"Don't- Don't leave." Fuck Grey was really bad at this. This was more Eldest's thing but Eldest was... fuck Grey could remember how he was on his first time looping back and Eldest was so much more sensitive than him.

"Don't leave. Please." Eldest sounded small.

"Please." Grey repeated.

World was still tense, his shoulders raised, hands balled into fists.

"It's- we're in the same situation, and... and I think it would help?" Grey was really bad at this. 

"I-I..." World was panicking. He didn't want to talk about this, he didn't want to deal with this. "Don't make me-"

"We can stop talking-" Eldest blurted out. "For now at least. Just- Just get some rest and tomorrow, or whenever you're ready, we can talk."

World relaxed marginally.

"Just- Please don't leave." Eldest looked up, making eye contact with World.

World sucked in a breath and for a moment, he was back in that very first game with a feverish and sick Eldest begging not to be alone in his final moments. Right before World made that promise that lead to this mess. Right before he signed his life away and just...

Why couldn't he win?

"I won't leave." He said quietly, feeling like the floor had dropped from underneath him. "I won't."

They settled around the fire, and World found himself sandwiched between Eldest and Grey.

It was silent, but the tension was still there.

Eldest had stopped crying, but his cheeks were still tearstained and his eyes were red and puffy. He looked tired, so tired.

World had his arms wrapped around his legs, which were pulled close to his chest. He had his head resting on his knees, staring blankly into the flames.

Grey was sitting cross legged, staring at the sky. His brain was working in overdrive, trying to come to terms with the fact that he wasn't alone. And the fact that World was apparently looping too and had been for longer than Grey was.

They were all deep in thought, each having their own little breakdown over this whole situation.

World was exhausted, emotionally drained. His head was spinning. World could feel his eyelids getting heavy, despite how much he was dreading falling asleep.

He didn't want to do this anymore. He didn't want to keep fighting, or surviving. He didn't want to have to watch the people he cared about die, knowing that the next time he opened his eyes he would be right back where he started.

But he had no choice.

World knew if he tried to escape, he'd just wind up right back on the podium.

So, World just had to keep going. He was just so tired but he'd promised Eldest-

Eldest. 

His eyes opened and he looked over toward the other troll who seemed to be sleeping fitfully.

Eldest's head was propped up on a rock, his chest rising and falling slowly.

World watched his friend for a few moments, his gaze eventually moving to the other troll.

Grey was awake, his gaze fixed on the sky. He looked upset, almost angry.

"Hey."

Grey jerked slightly and his head snapped toward World.

World couldn't see his expression clearly but he got the impression Grey was not happy to be caught staring.

"You can't sleep either?" Grey asked, his voice rough and quiet.

"Nope."

The silence between them was thick, heavy, tense.

"What are you thinking about?"

Grey was a little surprised at the question, but then again World wasn't the type to beat around the bush. "My promise. How stupid I was to make it, and the fact that it got me in this mess." 

World grimaced. "So it was the promise that got me in here. I had a feeling."

Grey hummed in response. "Who knew pinkie promises were so fucking important."

"Pinkie promises are serious stuff."

Grey laughed, a humorless laugh. "Who was yours too?"

World looked uncomfortable at the question. "You first."

Grey frowned and looked like he was about to object before Eldest rolled over and rested against Grey's side. He sighed, shifting so it would be more comfortable for his friend.

World frowned a little in thought and pulled his knees close. "I... Pinkie Promised Eldest." He admitted. 

Grey looked over and blinked, seemingly shocked. 

"The first game." World said, looking away. "He was dying, and he didn't want to die alone. So he made me promise to win for him. He didn't know it would... would do this."

Grey was quiet, trying to come up with some kind of response. "Yeah, that's not your fault. I can't even imagine what it's been like for you. You've been stuck doing this so much longer than I have."

World hummed softly. "Can you not tell Eldest about this? I don't want him to think it was his fault. It wasn't, but he'd still blame himself."

Grey nodded. "I get that. My lips are sealed." He sighed. "Well that makes a pretty sweet sense of irony."

"What do you mean?"

"My pinkie promise. It was... Well it was actually to you."

World jerked. "Me?"

"I didn't know you were looping, obviously. I didn't even really consider you a friend. But you jumped in front of me, you took a spear to the chest."

World remembered that. It had been to repay something Grey did several loops before. Something Grey would have remembered and still didn't remember since it was from before he started looping. 

"You were already dead by the time Crystal found me. I... I was holding your body. I was pissed, so angry. You saved my life and I was just so mad at myself for not saving yours. You died in my arms. And Crystal was trying to comfort me, trying to cheer me up. I guess he didn't know what to do."

World felt guilty about that now, knowing that Grey remembered it.

"I made a promise to win. Because I was so angry, and I didn't want your death to be in vain. So I promised. I guess you'd have been pretty mad at me if you were alive when I made that stupid promise."

World was stunned. "I don't- Why didn't you mention that sooner?"

Grey laughed softly, a bitter sound, careful not to wake Eldest. "We weren't really close. Hell, I still don't consider us close, but... I figured we might as well band together now that we know."

World let out a breath, his brain threatening to frazzle again. Not only were there two more people looping, one of them was looping because of him.

Damnit. 

"Well isn't this fucking twisted." He huffed.

"No kidding." Grey muttered. "So. Why'd you do it?"

"Do what?"

"Save me."

World stared down at his hands numbly. "I owed you. You did something for me several loops before that and I never got to repay the favor."

Grey hummed. He obviously didn't remember that but... It would make sense. "I see."

World shimmied a bit to get comfortable and rested his head on his jacket which was bundled up into a makeshift pillow. "I'm going to sleep."

Grey grunted in response.

"Good night, Grey."

(Writing fics on Tumblr is hard)

Interesting hmmmm

Random thought(when is it not random??) to expand on later

Cash Cow JD AU

Dunno if an idea like this was done or not but hear me out. While hiking the Neverglades, maybe about 5 years after the band broke up(he's already gone back and thinks his bros are dead), JD final starts letting himself sing again. It starts as humming lullabies he used to sing for his brothers, turns into quietly singing the songs he wrote for Brozone, and ends up him just singing whatever he's doing. He strikes me as the type, when alone at least, to sing the randomest shit to fill the quiet. Well, during one of his better spontaneous songs, a suspicious individual overhears. Think Mount Rageon kind of design, but adult and much more corporately power hungry. He carefully sits out in the open while JD is singing, letting the Troll see him when he turns. It startles JD, but the guy acts so genuinely impressed that he puffs up proudly and brags a bit. The Evil Man(lmao) asks about why he quit singing for audiences, and John Dory doesn't quite get into it, but it's been so long since he really talked to someone. He's hesitant, but eventually opens up about his brothers and everything that happened. And that they're probably dead. Evil Man acts all sympathetic, but sees the sun is going down and mentions he has to return home. A fancy little city not too far(for his big ass legs at least). He invites John to come explore, and dude is intrigued and bored. So he hitches a ride on Evil Man's shoulder.

Things go south not too long after. Come to find out, Evil Man had a few other trolls "under his wing". Aka held hostage to act as idols under his name. Maybe varying genres? JD would be the Pop Troll to complete the little group, and is designated as lead man. John is like "uh no way, bye" but Evil Man has magic technology lol. Maybe bracelets that paralyze the wearer if they move too far from a certain area? Something along those lines. So JD is trapped.

With this, Floyd and Bruce hear about JD around the time just before the first movie. Maybe while that's going down, Floyd goes to see one of JD's shows and tries to talk to him. JD panics because Evil Man would 100% either exploit Floyd's talent or use him against JD. So big bro tries to make him leave by saying horrible things? Like "I'm more successful now than we ever were. Why would I leave? I've found my Perfect Harmony." He specifically drops that in to try and clue Floyd in that something is wrong. Floyd, being the empath he is, gets the hint and sneaks in a mention that he'd go find their other brothers then. By the time Floyd meets up with Bruce, the first movie has happened. Second movie happens, let's say, 3 months after? Not too long. As that's happening, Bruce and Floyd try to hunt down Clay. They finally find him when they all suddenly go gray. The strings were broken. John Dory's lil group feels it too, mid show, and it royally pisses off Evil Man. He cuts the music, and JD glances backstage to see the look on his face. He's about ready to legit murder the Trolls, but just in time JD feels a weird warmth in his chest. He goes off script, starts singing acapella and the rest of the group join in. Their color comes back, there's sparkles and magic in the air, and the crowd eats it up. They finish out the show, and Evil Man chews em out. John Dory explains he has no idea what happened, and they manage to get off without too much injury.

Bruce, Floyd, Clay, and Viva(after some convincing) leave to try and figure out what just happened. They hear about the Rockapocalypse over a radio(maybe they have a different mode of transportation? Rhonda comes in later). They hunt down Pop Village in no time, before the Bergen wedding, and find Branch and Poppy. Reunions!!!

As far as I've gotten, gotta get back to work. Will try to add more laterrrr
