Fandoms, feminism, fuzzy animals, and things I find funny.

We're at the "JK Rowling is personally funding litigation to try and destroy AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL" stage of rabid UK terf brain.

Screenshot via Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net on bluesky

Tldr Amnesty International, global human rights organisation, published a report called 'A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK'. In it is detailed, amongst others, a whole bunch of transphobic groups and organisations, including Beira's Place, JK Rowling's trans exclusionary sexual violence support service. JK Rowling threw a shit fit and got Amnesty to take the report down by threatening libel. This was obviously not enough, because you can't appease a fascist, so now she's going to bankroll a bunch of lawsuits anyway through the JK Rowling Women's Fund.*

You can read an archived version of the report here, please save it and share it.

*Not so friendly reminder there is no way to engage in the wizard books without enabling this shit.

Auda: You love him.

Ali: No, I fear him

Auda: Then why do you weep?

Ali: If I fear him, who love him, how must he fear himself who hates himself.

Boys and their feelings.  So complicated.  And yeah, Ali, non-denial denial is still a river in Arabia.

[speareshakes]

Everyone focuses on Lawrence’s arc (naturally, because he’s the protagonist and so very very complicated) but for me Ali’s story of first hating and then falling in love with Lawrence and *never* falling out of it no matter what Lawrence does is in many ways the heart of the film.

[thealienwizard01]

This is literally it. It’s the way that ali gave his heart to lawrence and never took it back no matter what happened. He must’ve hoped that lawrence would tend to it, would care for it gently, but ultimately its fate was in lawrence’s hands.

“My version of flirting is looking at someone I find attractive multiple times and hoping they are braver than I am” - Sherif Ali and Lawrence, probably 1/∞

[jimeneszs]

You love him. No, I fear him. Then why do you weep? If I fear him, who love him, how must he fear himself, who hates himself? Omar Sharif as Sherif Ali and Peter O'Toole as T. E. Lawrence LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962)

"I would live for you" hits a lot harder than "I would die for you" imo. you're so important to me that I would pick myself up out of my grave for you. you give me a kind of hope that I thought I couldn't feel anymore. a future with you in it is a future I want to be there for. dying for you is easy, living for you is making the choice every day to get up and keep going

[thealienwizard01]

Okay but imagine this is what Lawrence is thinking too instead of just Ali. Like he'd 100% like to kill himself by the end of all this but no, he wouldn't do that to Ali, not while they're still in each other's orbit. And he's just waiting for the other man to stop caring and leave and then it won't hurt anyone if he finishes the job. Because even after all he's done to (in his opinion) disappoint Ali he can't bear the thought of being the reason for his grief.

"يَا شَمْسَ رُوحِي أُحَادِثُكِ، وَأَنَا قَمَرٌ يَعِيشُ عَلَى وَهْجِكِ، لَا أُضِيءُ إلَّا حِينَ تَمُرِّينَ عَلَى سَمَائِي، وَلَا أَحْيَا إِلَّا إِذَا لَامَسَنِي ضَوْؤُكِ. إِنْ غِبْتِ صَارَ القَلْبُ لَيْلًا بِلا نُجُومٍ.

أَنَا القَمَرُ أَدُورُ فِي فَلَكِكِ، أُحِبُّكِ دُونَ شَرْطٍ، وَأَنْتِ البِدَايَةُ وَالمَعْنَى. سَأَبْقَى أَنْعَكِسُ بِكِ، وَأَكْتُبُ حُبِّي بِاسْمِكِ فِي السمَاءِ، قَمَرًا لَا يَعْرِفُ الضوْءَ إلَّا مِنْ شَمْسِهِ."

“O sun of my soul, I converse with you, and I am a moon that lives by your radiance. I do not shine except when you pass through my sky, and I do not live except when your light touches me. If you are absent, the heart becomes a night without stars.

I am the moon, orbiting within your sphere, I love you unconditionally, and you are the beginning and the meaning. I will remain reflected in you, and I will write my love in your name in the sky, a moon that knows no light except from its sun.”
