sometimes i think of yusuf, at the beginning. poet son of a merchant boy in borrowed armour, skull cracked open on a rock. how long until he returns home again? How does he return, estranged, to those Ithica-like Tunisian shores? Can his father still recognize his covered face?

yusuf al-kaysani, the son, the poet, the not-soldier, made and unmade each night in the looms of his mother's memory, mindbody woven and unwoven by something infinite and nameless.

sometimes i think about "di genova" vs. "al-kaysani". a land versus a bloodline. How they lose both, and then the names, too. immortal odysseus, ogygia-bound, longing to see the smoke that rises from his homeland, longing for death, kept in the soft-tender company of his murderer.

(really, you were founded on the bloody rock of holy ground. really, sometimes there is no return from war. at least not from this. not from the way he touches you.)

do you guys remember the Old Guard. remember when there was a major mainstream hollywood action scifi motion picture starring hot women with guns where gay people kissed on the mouth passionately. and the movie was both critically and financially successful. that movie feels like a fucking fever dream. i'll never achieve the high i got when that movie came out ever again

What Women Want, according to the first 10 minutes of The Old Guard:

- cool sunglasses

- to be called “boss”

- big snuggly hugs from guys who are not romantically interested in you

- baklava

- an axe

#the old guard #signs your movie was directed and produced by women lol

Nile Freeman (ง •̀_•́)ง

[ID: Three screenshots of Nile and Andy’s fight on the plane. Over the first image, focus on Nile’s face with Andy’s fist looming, is a tumblr post by wordfather that reads “things are going to be difficult. But you”. The second image is blurry because Nile is about to punch Andy, with a reply from rascalbot that reads “are going to be difficulter”. The third image is of Andy smirking with OP’s reply of “that’s the spirit!!!! be a problem to your problems!!!!!!!! mark your territory! !!!!!!!!!!!!”]

Tired of "bury your gays" it's time for an era of gay immunity who's with me

It was only when Netflix announced there would be more (great!) actors joining 2O2G that I realized my secret hope had been that the entire movie would be two hours of TOG and Copley sitting around a table and eating sandwiches, with breaks for Joe and Nicky to make out.
