Guys I Actually Beg Of You To Not Let Palestine Become An Unpleasant Flashback, A Transient Tumblr Trend,

guys i actually beg of you to not let palestine become an unpleasant flashback, a transient tumblr trend, a hasbeen subject that just faded away. as an arab—and specifically iraqi—girl, i know what it feels like to have family displaced all over the world as a result of western imperialism. i know what it feels like to not be able to step foot into your homeland because it’s no longer safe. as an american iraqi, raised in the us and insulated from my roots, it wasn’t until last summer that i was able to visit iraq for the first time, and even then my family was worried for my safety—in my own blood country. although nothing like what palestinians are experiencing right now, it might be the tiniest semblance of what it feels like to watch your country disintegrate in front of you.

and this is a universal arab experience. i volunteer weekly at a refugee center that serves middle eastern refugees, and every day i see the longing in their eyes when they speak of where they hail from. it’s safe to say that we will be getting a wave of palestinian refugees very soon: just another generation of arabs who can’t inhabit their own country.

arab culture is so rich, so profound, so beautiful. i am tired of being told by the world—through literal genocide—that it doesn’t mean anything. please never let this be forgotten. free palestine. free palestine. free palestine.

"Lady Vanrouge! When you told me you planned to visit, this wasn't what I had in mind!" Sebek hissed, staring at you through the gate's frame. He responded to your SMS asking him to meet you at the school gates as soon as possible. Despite the fact that it was two in the morning, he ran to your position right away. How he arrived in under 10 minutes is remarkable.

"I did say it was a last-minute decision." Shaking your head, you pulled the hood to your robe up and slipped on a pair of leather gloves. Indeed, you did send Sebek a letter to inform him of your plans beforehand. Leaving out the fact that you planned to sneak in like some petty thief.

"Now hold this gate steady for me, ok?"

Sebek's eyes practically sprang out of his head when you started climbing the tall gate. He yelled at you to be careful as he grasped the gate with both hands, firmly grasping the metal bars. You easily climbed to the top and laughed as you tossed yourself to the opposite side. Shrieking, Sebek ran to catch you, nearly toppling over from the force.

"Nice catch, my boy!" You grinned, patting his shoulder and setting yourself down. Sebek heaved, kneeling over and pressing a palm over his chest to calm his racing heart from the stunt you just pulled.

"You-Lady Vanrouge-!" Sebek started. "You're a mage! Why would you do that!"

"Teleporting or flying would definitely be easier…but that's boring~" You drawled, a cheeky grin on your face.

"Now, which way is that mirror again? It's been ages since I last set foot on this campus-literally!"

You linked both your arms together and began to pull the boy towards the academy, ignoring any and all of his complaints.

"I really think we shouldn't be doing this." Sebek muttered, begrudgingly pushing the doors to the mirror chamber open. You both slid inside, the door behind you closing with a snap.

It was already late at night, and the moon shone through the windows, its light reflecting off the mirrors. You took a step closer to Diasomnia's portal, tracing the engravings on its frame.

Had they changed parts of it? You noticed certain details that were not previously present.

"Well, too late to back off now. You're making me start to think you don't actually want me here." You pouted, shifting your gaze to Sebek's rigid body beside the doorway. He jumped and dashed over, his cheeks flushed pink.

"Of course I do, Lady Vanrouge! Your presence is always appreciated! I only wish you had chosen safer means to visit!" He yelled, his booming voice practically rattling the walls. Chuckling, you ran your fingers through his hair before patting his head.

"I jest. Now, let's not keep them waiting. Shall we?" You clasped Sebek's hand with your own and stepped into the mirror.

A blur of colours hit you for a moment before you found yourself whisked away to the dark brooding castle Diasomnia calls a dorm. Standing atop the cobblestone steps, you took a deep breath. The air was thick with smothering moisture, like a fog.

The dim light of a window in the distance drew your attention. Among the many windows in the castle, it was the only chamber that was lit up.

"O-Oh? Is someone still up at this late hour?" You wondered, still light-headed from the teleportation. Sebek placed a hand on your back to stabilise your wobbly form. "Ah yes. That's probably Master Lillia, he tends to hold gaming sessions at this hour."

"Is that so?" You huffed, brows furrowing as you glared at the window. "...That damn bat."

Of course, this wasn't news to you. Silver frequently wrote to you about his father's long gaming sessions, which sometimes lasted days or even weeks. Just as you were about to march up to the castle, an arm wrapped around your chest, pulling you back.

"No need to look so mad, dear." A deep voice lulled.

Behind you two, Lillia appeared with an impish smile on his face. Sebek flinched before greeting Lilia vigorously while maintaining a stiff posture of attention.

"Good evening, Sebek! Would you go and get Silver and Malleus for me? This is going to be a lovely reunion." Lillia spoke, crossing his arms over his chest. He was perched upon a nearby tree, hanging off one of the branches.

"Yes Sir!" With that, Sebek was off, dashing towards the castle.

With a frown etched onto your face, you turned your gaze back to the fae who was still upside down. Lillia hummed, leaning forward to press his lips against yours. "Hello there, beastie."

"Still pulling the same old trick, I see." You grumbled, grabbing his arm to pull him down. Lillia smushed his cheek against your shoulder, peering up at you through his lashes.

"It's a classic of mine, isn't it?"

MC (totally not Sapphic) Gets Some Goddamn Sleep

@sapphicxslvt asked: Hi elii, I would like to make a request that I oh so desperately need. I would like to request a sleeping fic where mc cough me cough finally actually gets some damn sleep. I'm talking good zzz's. Drooling out the mouth sleep, stuck in a coma type of sleep. So sleep that if I… I mean mc,, is getting their arm chopped off by a damn machete I would,,,,,,I mean MC would never know. Thank you very much ♡(´｡•ㅅ•｡`)

Sleep bitch ^ with love ofc

MC is tired. They're very tired. The only thing they can look at is their bed. Dodging a very asleep Mammon on the floor, MC dives into their bed.

The pillows. The comforter. It's warm and inviting. And yet, MC pulls out their phone, opening it to check their messages. Of course, because the life of someone as important as MC can not stand to take a break.

Opening a message from Lucifer, it talked about wanting to go out with them tomorrow.

MC sighed, before hitting their keyboard. Only for the message to end with a bunch of random letters, and to send to Lucifer.

The phone fell to the floor, but MC doesn't bother even trying to grab it. They don't even notice it falling.

MC's body is still on their bed. There is a line of drool coming from their open mouth. They'll get a dry throat from sleeping with their mouth open.

Wait.

They're sleeping. MC is... sleeping.

Finally.

A good nights rest is all MC needs. Just... to recuperate.

Lucifer was worried when he got the response from MC. He first texted them, asking them to respond.

No response.

Then he called them. Surely MC had to pick up the phone, he was the strongest demon in the whole of the Devildom, after all.

No response.

The only logical thing to do next was to go directly to MC's room. So, to the room he went.

Passing the kitchen, Lucifer knocked on the door of MC’s room.

“MC, open up.” He said behind the door.

No response.

Lucifer loses his patience. Opening the door, he found MC on their bed asleep. He also found Mammon on the floor in a starfish position. Walking over to MC, he tapped them lightly on the shoulder.

"MC, are you alright?" He asked.

No response.

"Mammon," He turned and nudged his younger brother with his foot. "MC hasn't woken up, I have called once and came inside to wake them up, but they won't budge."

"...Hah?"

A few minutes later, all of the brothers were in MC's room. They still hadn't woken up.

Satan had come to the conclusion that MC was either dead or in a coma. Both of those completely freaked everyone out.

But Belphie’s the Avatar of Sloth, right? Shouldn’t he tell his brothers that MC was asleep?

He likes drama. 💀

The only thing that slightly calmed down the demons was MC's arm moving to cover their face.

"MC!" Mammon practically yelled.

No response.

No response, no response, no response.

MC was sleeping rather well.
