thinking about character specific speech bubbles
So i just found out that Dolores means 'sorrow' and 'mysery' and lady of sorrows, Poor Dolores 😿
I can't donate myself, but I really hope my rebologing this can help!
I am reaching out on behalf of my dear friend, Mohamad S., who is facing one of the most challenging times of his life. Mohamad is 37 years old and left his homeland in 2015 in search of a safer and better future. He’s a kind, hardworking man, and his small family has always been his greatest priority.
Living abroad, Mohamad has recently endured unimaginable loss and financial strain. Amidst the ongoing conflict in his homeland, his mother passed away, leaving behind his sister and her five young children—the last remaining members of his immediate family.
As the situation worsened, Mohamad managed to help his sister and her children escape to safety in Egypt, covering their immediate needs and securing a temporary refuge for them. Since then, he has been fully responsible for providing everything they need to survive during this transition.
In his efforts to support his family and cope with this devastating loss, Mohamad has found himself deeply in debt. To make matters even more difficult, he recently underwent knee surgery, which limits his ability to return to work for the foreseeable future. This has made it even harder for him to manage his financial responsibilities and the pressing need to provide his family with a stable future.
Mohamad is now working to bring his sister and her five children to join him in Belgium, where he hopes they can find stability and opportunity after all they’ve endured. This transition, however, requires significant resources that he is currently unable to meet alone.
For privacy reasons, we are not sharing Mohamad’s full name, as he has chosen to keep his identity discreet. While he initially refused the idea of asking for help, I couldn’t stand by and watch him struggle alone. I insisted on doing this for him because he deserves a chance to overcome these challenges.
Your contribution will help Mohamad repay the debt incurred during this difficult time, cover ongoing living expenses for his family, and assist with the costs involved in bringing them safely to Belgium.
Mohamad has been a good friend of mine for years, and I’ve always admired his resilience and generosity. Any support, no matter the size, will make an incredible difference in helping Mohamad and his family rebuild their lives after these painful experiences.
Thank you for reading his story and considering helping a man who has always done everything he can for his loved ones.

My Opinion on Timebomb Fics
(Disclaimer: This is by no means serious criticism. I love all Timebomb fics. Thank you to the authors that write them. You're one of the reasons I'm alive today. This is just my opinion on the Timebomb canon dynamic and what I wish there was more of.)
Can we agree, it is hard as hell to write the Timebomb dynamic correctly? I stan maybe a handful of Timebomb fics, and even some of those have the wrong dynamic to me. To me, Timebomb is the peak of enemies to lovers, because the conflicts between them are nearly impossible to resolve. For the fics to feel canon to me, they have to have:
• Jinx remaining Jinx. Any fics that take her back to being Powder (or even call her Powder), or cure her insanity with the power of love, don't work for me. She's Jinx, and she's worked hard to get to the level of crazy she's at. What makes Jinx the better version of Powder is that she has Powder's heart, but she's more cunning, reckless, and dangerously capable. She thinks outside of the box and never conforms to anyone's rules, unless it benefits her. Anything that changes that is out of character, in my opinion.
• Ekko having an attraction and romantic feelings towards Jinx, outside of his history with Powder. I want him to feel all the guilt and angst, because here is the crazy, psychotic killer who has been murdering his friends, but he thinks she's attractive and wants to date her. Ekko liking Jinx solely because she used to be Powder, or as an older version of Powder, is lazy writing to me. I want the mental anguish of an Ekko who hates himself, because Powder is gone, and this demon is in her place, and he's STILL falling for her. I want him to question his own sanity at some point, because why does he like THIS? I want Ekko to fall for her, before he sees any hint of Powder in her. Seeing the old Powder in Jinx should be a bonus to his love for her, not the foundation of it.
• Belligerent Teamwork. They are enemies and have been for years. I don't like the fics where they just fall into easy teamwork, as if they were picking up where they left off as kids. I want them to be at each other's throats about decisions. Jinx is a lone wolf with problems following authority, and Ekko has been the leader of the Firelights for years. There is gonna be some tension. Who's in charge? Ha, let them fight for dominance. 😈
• Jinx being bad at romance/sex/love. This is the girl who has been isolated for a lot of her life. Even when she was with the gang in the first three episodes of season 1, she felt like an outlier. With her trust issues, there's no way she was comfortable enough to explore her sexuality and get to know people on an intimate level. At least, not healthily. At most, I'd give her reckless one-night stands or having killed her old exes during a psychotic episode. Other than that, I think Ekko is the more experienced between them.
• A healthy respect for each other. Even if Jinx is frothing at the mouth mad, or Ekko is being a coward in Jinx's eyes, I want them to still have an underlying respect for each other. Ekko should never think less of Jinx for her mental instability. And Jinx, while ruthless, should respect Ekko's decision to put his people before himself. Even if they disagree and do not understand each other's decisions, they should respect each other in their private thoughts.

That's just a few things I'd want in a fic. I'm pretty sure my opinion will change with the new season, but it's a welcome change. Thank you again to all the writers who write the fics I read and provide me with my dopamine/serotonin fix on a daily basis. I appreciate all your hard work!
Is there anything you guys wish Timebomb fics had? I'd love to hear it.
ok so this is something that bothered me ever since it was shown
Luffy recognizes them immediately and his first spot is to eat them. Which sure makes sense with how he was hungry, but he did it cause he felt sad about his crew. Which makes me wonder if little Luffy ever did the same when he was sad.😢
Ok so here’s a fun MHA idea for villain hawks, so we know that hawks design is actually based on a white tailed eagle right? So what if when he becomes a villain he goes by eagle? It’s something that I’ve thought for months
WHY ARE WE ALL SLEEPING ON WHEN HUSK SAID CONSENT IS A GOOD NAME FOR A S*X CLUB!? Umm HELLO!? JUST! AAAAHHHH
you know, I never really expected HUSK to be a past overlord, actually I thought it’d be Angel. I remember some fanfic or comic mentioning how Angel was CLOSE to being an overlord, before throwing it all away cause of Val, and when you think about it, it makes sense, Angel was in the mob, he’d know a thing or two about A-killing B-money And C-making deals, which seem like the criteria for surviving hell, and for being and Overlord. Husk being and overlord in the past though, isn’t that bad an idea either. He knows how to read people, and his gambling probably won him some souls.
ok! HEAR ME OUT! Queer platonic mei and mk! Think about it!
One piece theory: Imu sama is Being possessed by the sea devil! Now hear me out! Everyone is saying Imu sama IS the sea devil or she’s Luffy’s mom. But how would Dragon be able to give Luffy to Garp if Imu has him? I’ve also seen pictures of Imu with red or yellow eyes. So here me out. The sea devil is the one who corrupted the world government. Imu wanted justice, so to defeat the other gods she made a deal with the sea devil. Sometims she’s able to take control of her body, so when Luffy was born she contacted Dragon as fast as possible. Imu’s eye color changes depending on wether or not she’s in control.
