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. Heās 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 childrenāthe 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 theyāve endured. This transition, however, requires significant resources that he is currently unable to meet alone.
For privacy reasons, we are not sharing Mohamadās full name, as he has chosen to keep his identity discreet. While he initially refused the idea of asking for help, I couldnāt 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 Iāve 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.

She grim on my born 'til I viggo
I have nobody to talk to about this but thisss fic:
The Grace of Gold by stilastarla
This fic is my lifeblood. My mental wellbeing is now completely dependent on this amazing piece of literature right here. Chapter 22 has me giggling and howling like a maniac I swear. RELEASE MEEEEEE FROM THESE CHAINS I BEG.
You know that feeling when you find an absolute gem of a fic, so good that in your mind it's actual canon content...so good you have dreams about it and even after *years* it's ever-present at the back of your mind. But when you go looking for it, it's GONE?! Sending you spiraling for several weeks as you desperately scour the web for it. And after several weeks and cryptic dreams about the plot, you feel as if you might be slowly loosing it.
Well, that's my current situation. I'm getting desperate- so desperate that I'm on tumblr.com begging for help(not desperate enough to log into reddit tho). Please tell me I'm not crazy and I didn't dream up one of the best fics I've ever read.
The fic was a Lego Monkie Kid fic centered around Bai He (aka LBD's host) after the events of season three. Itwassowellwrittengodineeditnow.
From what I remember:
Shadowpeach was the main romantic(kinda) relationship mentioned although from the few chapters I read it focuses more on the platonic relationships at the beginning. Also PIF and DBK were briefly implied to be in a poly relationship with an original female character which was cool.
The description was something along the lines of: "Bai He is just trying to pick up the pieces of her life after the Lady Bone Demon is gone. Luckily, she has the help of MK and the others... something something- Wukong noticed the shadows of the male primate circling the island but never having the courage to come closer.." Or something like that.
Bai He my emotionally repressed princess/affectionate. You could tell the author wrote her character with a lot of love. She was an orphan who had been in the care of an orphanage in France(I believe) before she became a street kid in China. There was also this underlying subtext that her time spent in France was during the 90s(the lore bro, the *lore*). Bai He's disconnect between her ethnic background compared to the rest of the gang made her interactions with the main cast really unique.
Lady Bone Demon's relationship with Bai He was portrayed as almost like an abusive/manipulative parent that you can't seem to completely hate because they're your parent and they're doing what they think is the best for you. Chiefs kiss.
Any fic that mentions the nuances of LBD and MK's dynamic instead of watering down her character to that vile evil Witch who wanted to destroy the world>>>>>>
The subtle world building špeakš. The story literally began outside the city where the residents were evacuated. This included the main gang who'd basically already taken Bai He in. There were passing mentions of other mythological pantheons. Plus references to the JTTW.(the author mentioned something about Wukong having descendants which was mind-boggling to me- ik it's inaccurate but whatever.)
Monkey King basically got custody of Bai He and he took her to Flower Fruit Mountain to watch over her condition.
The author detailed Bai He's struggles with her past and her present situation as she was no longer fully human.
Nahza(my goat) was there, living up to his role as protector of children.
The closest fic I've found is 'A Bone to Pick' by SmilesThroughFandoms but the vibe is off. It isn't the same.
It was incomplete with more than 20 000 words and posted somewhere between late 2022/23.(this was the general time frame I read the fic before loosing it. In my defense I (a) didn't have an ao3 account at the time and (b) I was reading it in incognito modeš¤”)
If anyone has any information about it please please please please please tell me.
The last woman... absolutely heartbreakingš. Where is the outcry now, where is the UN now? Why is the world silent when something horrible like this happens to the muslim /arab world ? I will never forgive them for being silent. Now I at least know they are all full of shit and no one actually cares about human life.
Get behind me children, I'll protect you from the hordes.
Forever will defend āevilā children demonized by their fanbase and/or own source material
I got really frustrated in a debate about Little Nightmares with someone so Iām drawing a whole comic for getting my feelings out.
Palestine is not a complex subject & anyone who says āitās complicated,ā is being disingenuous.
People who do this are muddying the waters. Itās not āOctober 7th, Hamas attacked out of nowhere!!ā Itās deliberate propaganda on the part of the media and political class to ignore the fact Palestinians were being brutalized weeks leading up to October, attacked while trying to worship and pray on their most sacred days. For 70+ years, Palestinians have been denied a voice and any trace of humanity.
Michael Brooks gave a good summation here: Israel is a modernized power oppressing an indigenous population, armed and funded by the West with sophisticated military technology and surveillance equipment.

I'm currently relearning how to be human and I'm open to any tips and tricks you professionals may have.

My only motivation to study is "the faster I finish this chapter, the faster I can read fics about my fav ships"
And my only will to go to give exam is "the faster I come back from the exam, the faster I can read fics about my fav ships"
Try this method people, it works

Doomed relationships>>>
I did it... I connected the dots
I'm having serious flashbacks of every moment in my life (that I can remember) where I feel an almost incapacitating amount of shame.
One moment i'm enjoying disconnecting from reality and then i'm on the floor genuinely tweaking because I remember that one time in school when I was VERY LOUDLY discussing the twinky-ness of victor frankenstein and this older girl made eye contact with me
Not the normal kind of eye contact- nonono, the type of eye contact where I connect with the person on the most RAW, PRIMAL subconscious level and I see every emotion, every judgment thought stirring deep behind their irises.
in conclusion: stream Shame by mitski and victor frankenstein is a selfish [abet complex] twink.
lowkey one of my favorite series done by daisuke igarashi
petra genitalix gives annihilation vibes with the whole 'life is change and change is mutation' theme. I can honestly write a whole essay on it.
