URGENT: Medical Emergency, Baby of refugee family needs surgery for obstruction

This campaign was shared by the vetter @/90-ghost here.

This baby's family has escaped Gaza, but needs surgery.

The gofundme was shut down in a mass purge of Palestinian gofundmes, but you can donate to the to the newly made paypal here

Abdul Aziz, who was born in Gaza, has a condition called Hirschsprung's disease, which affects the nerves related to muscles controlling the passing of waste. He had to get a colostomy at 20 days old. The family is now in Egypt, and have been trying to raise money for surgery that would give a more permanent solution,... but five days ago post-surgery complications developed with bleeding at the site of surgery.

The surgery for a more permanent improvement will cost her 20,000 euro, and will make it so that Abdul Aziz no longer needs to gets colostomy. So far, she has raised almost 2,000 dollars. However, part of that just had to go to the emergency surgery five days ago from the bleeding. And the gofundme being shut down has also impaired fundraising.

Please donate to the paypal! I know it may not be as much a serotonin rush without a progress bar, but it is still important.

Jimmy knew what the people needed: a pathetic man

Anyway, design process

I used VERY MINIMAL inspo from finnish n Nordic fisherman/general outfits for his outfits, mostly in the use of leather and burlap

For his human design I just wanted him to be dorky and kinda scrappy looking, clearly made or edited by his own hands. He has a knitted cod hat and a hand-woven dyed rope belt that doubles as a fish net, and ofc a bottle or two of slime tying it together

For his fish form. I based the cod head part on a mix of Cod (duh), dunkleosteus, tiger sharks, and minimally on lion fish. The tail is a combo of fins and a shark tail, along with boney scales and sharp spines. He's very tough and durable

Ofc he also grew arm fins and his feet became more creature-like. Crechur

I also imagine that, while not immune to damage, he's very resistant to it (and resistant to cold :))

Also this is HC-y stuff but I imagine that Jimmy, as a sea God, represents very different things than Lizzie. Lizzie represents more of the Idea of the ocean, it's vast power and danger, the storms it makes, etc

Whereas Jimmy represents the interconnectedness of sea life and the life cycles, I'd even argue he's lowk a land-god rather than specifically a sea God and I KNOW cod are salt water but. He's so freshwater coded srry abt it 😛 he is a being of change first and foremost

Even tho he's a being of change tho he dislikes industry as he believes it is inorganic and ruins natural effort and stuff. Same with magic, there is nothing a spell can do that your own hands can't do better. Also magic hurt Scott so he don like it 😔

Anyway get this post to 200 notes n I'll take flower husband requests 👌 ✨️✨️✨️

can we grown up frisk?

The kids all grown up...

(do not tag as ship)

P2 of my Empires S1 designs (slash redesigns?!!!! <3333 (Joel's is here)

Basically I just wanted him to feel. Jungle-y. I took inspiration almost entirely from ancient mayan/Aztec clothing and art, ofc simplified down and changed to fit with his MC skin more :]

I gave him very bright, vibrant colors, to sort of break up his design and add visual difference (also to stand out against Xornoth's dark pallete and be a visual opposite to Scott), Teal is meant to be like the main complementary color, idk how well I did with that tho LMAO

He also has some medallions on his belt, specifically one for Xornoth <333 his crown also glows and floats like a sun, its warm and revitalizes anyone nearby. He has floating gold behind his shoulders also, which turn into his wings when he needs to fly.

Also his netherite sword is now a netherite māccuahuitl, he got that bashin' stick. And I decided since he mainly sells totems of undying, he is the only one of the smp who retains scars thru respawns, just thought it'd be cool LMAO

Also if you wanna see the agony I went thru to draw this. Speedpaint below the cut ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Dream SMP Patron/Deity AU

Alright, so I've been having this idea for an AU that wouldn't necessarily affect the events of Dream SMP timeline, but would more of be an interesting background concept! And would maybe add in some more fantasy/supernatural aspects that could happen because of the Divine!

Tubbo - He is absolutely a follower/worshiper of Ianite, who is his matron. He was made by her, after all, given as a gift and a blessing to her Champion, the Caption, who longed to be a father. As Tubbo grew up, he lived in the End with his Caption and would often visit or be visited by Ianite, who was much like a grandmother to him. He was also given her Blessing, like his Father. Eventually, Tubbo left to the Overworld permanently and the story of the Dream SMP begins. During the prime days of L'Manburg, Tubbo got a tattoo, which is a very important part of the practice and worship of Ianite, of her symbol, a scale. It coveres his uperback and is extremely intricate, and he absolutely adores it. When Tubbo, Ranboo, and Michael all permanently move into their new mansion, Tubbo takes a small room in their new home and dedicates it to Ianite and her practice. He had a small alter set up for her in his old cabin, but this one is much grander, and he has much more space to set it up exactly how he sees fit. Ranboo, of course, was already aware of his husbands practice and worship of the Goddess, so he wasn't surprised at all to see that was something Tubbo wanted to do, and encouraged it greatly. Michael though, was not aware of this due to it never being mentioned in front of him or having seen his Bees alter that was snuggly tucked away in the corner of his bedroom closet back in the old cabin. So, when he saw this and Tubbo explained what it was and who it was for, Michael got very ecstatic and very curious. Tubbo now reads books about Ianite, her worship/practice, and the End to Michael, and he absolutely adores it and learning about the Goddess. He'll always ask to be read to about her before going to bed every night. Michael also likes helping Tubbo gather offerings or set up offerings on the alter for Ianite, like flowers or herbs or candles or incense. It's also important to note that Ranboo will often come to Tubbo when he wants to learn or has question about the End, considering the other spent his childhood living in the Realm. Also, if you don't already know, Ianite is an End Goddes, specifically the Goddess of the End and of balance!

Tommy - He has always been a passionate, energetic fellow, and this promptly caught the attention of the Goddess of hope, strength, fame, justice, and warriors, Prime. She sent many sighs to Tommy, showing him she was reaching out, and although it took a good few years for him to figure it out, he eventually did when he was ten. Tommy soon after finding out became a follower/worshiper of her, and she become his patron, even at his young age. Prime would stay with him and observe him to see if he was a good fit to give her Blessing, and she deemed him more than worthy. At fourteen, she gave him her Blessing. During the Greater Dream SMP, before L'Manburg was even a concept, Tommy, along with the help of Wilbur and Tubbo, built Church Prime in her honor and for her worship. He also named the Prime Path in her honor and for her followers. A very big and important part of the practice of following Prime are bells, specifically gold ones. It's said that ringing a bell before prayer or worship will draw her attention towards you. Since Tommy was ten, he always kept his golden bell, that he put on a rope chain, around his neck or in his pocket. He will always ring it before doing something that involves her.

Technoblade - His patron his the Blood God, although I assume that was unsurprising to many. Technoblade has been a follower of them ever since he could remember. The Blood God helped him survive and kept him alive and fighting when Technoblade's family abandoned him. He then became a warrior for them and their practice/worship, leaving the Neather where he was born and living in the Overworld permanently. The reason Technoblade is so attached to the Axe of Peace is because it was a gift from the Blood God when he first enterd the new Realm of the Overworld. He goes on assignments for the Blood God quite a lot, often involving bloodshed of some sort.

That's all I have set in stone for this AU as of right now! I'll probably come back later and make more posts about this AU, because I enjoy it so much! Also, I would recommend you research the difference between a matron and a patron! I would inform you, but that could be a whole post on it's own!

FIESTY FIVE + CEROBA POV WHEN CLOVER WAS ON TV

I read Falling Out of Trouble by @shadeofsilentfire and it was hella good but I am not even exaggerating a little bit when I say I couldn’t stop imagining this hours after reading this chapter, it was too silly to pass up (bonus doodle(?)/first frame under the cut since its hard to see)

FALLEN KIDS REF SHEET

Thank you for waiting! They’re all incredibly dear to me. Small note, I did fudge the order of when they fell a little bit, perserverance and integrity switched places in my personal timeline. Uh sorry if that bothers you!
