Meet Chili (left) and Sponge! (right)
They have their own little story going on in my head rn, tbh it might become a writing project! Chili is a sand/sky hybrid, while Sponge is pure seawing ^^
Lmk if you’re interested in odd animus powers, silly friendships, and found family :3
I hope your family is safe and doing as well as it can through all of this.
Why is no one talking to me? No one checks on my family anymore. Are we no longer important, the six of us?! When will I find someone to care about us? Will it be when we are bombed or dead?
The people here helped me, and the Tumblr community is wonderful. I love you all.
But no one wants to check on my family anymore. I have four children who live every day in fear, with bombings and death, in a place without sanitation, filled with epidemics and diseases. Even food is now just canned goods. Is a child supposed to live their life here without any sweets or treats?
Are we dead?! Is that why no one answers or asks about us? Or has the world's conscience died, so they don’t think about us or inquire about us?
I created a post telling our story in black and white because my family and I are starting to lose hope. Perhaps someone will look at the pictures and read the story, realizing that this family is on the brink of becoming a memory.
My children, my wife, and I read your comments and your words, and the messages you send. Why have you stopped? No one is standing with us. You know, even internet and electricity here are hard to come by, and we walk a long way to reach a place just to tell you that we are still alive here in Gaza.
We hoped someone would fight with us, try to raise our voice to the world, send our campaign to friends, or even try to adopt our cause and reach out to people, asking them to write and share our story.
If I’m the only one here in Gaza trying to raise my family's voice and save them, I won’t succeed alone.
I'm writing this because I can't do it alone, and I hope you will support me and stand with me.
Just read this with your hearts. My family and I need your support with your own selves, minds, and consciences, not just donations, above all else.
I will attach a picture of my family here, hoping it will make someone look with their heart, talk to us, and say, “I will try to help you.”
I hope to find someone who cares about whether my family and I are still alive.
💔🙏

The Bards!!! Each one has slightly different colors, and eye styles! More info on my choices below!! + Bard without filter (WARNING BIG MESSAGE LOL)
Snufkin: More softer colors to match the painterly style of the 1990s version, and his D shaped eyes like how he actually is in the show, and the ears because someone else did that and I thought it was cute Patch: Patch!!! He's vibrant because I can totally see SOM as a cartoon, I dulled his colors and gave him a hoodie to match more, also his cat-eyes (is that what they're called???) in the bookcovers Bard: Dulled and story-booky, more wider eyes, with the stars in them to symbolize the Earthsong :D I struggled with their coat-collar thing a LOT if you can't tell LOL (also yes I gave them hair, specifically ginger hair but the filter makes it weird) Wander: Vibrant for being a cartoon, and I made him more human-like, couldn't really decide what I wanted to do with his shirt, though.
Here's a website where Palestine GoFundMes are vetted and shared that you can send out to people. The url is gazafunds.com
Easy to use and simple. Just share the site whenever someone asks for GFMs for Palestine.

I had never heard of this movement. As an American in 2025 it is very very familiar though, as I am sure it will also be to Germans and many others whose countries have tried to do something similar.
I am learning about imperialism in the late 19th- early 20th century in my AP history class and we recently analyzed some political cartoons.
I miss when political cartoons were actually entertaining. I wasn't alive then but I miss it. Although a lot of them were pretty racist back then.
Anyway, speaking of familiar political moves, Trump taking over Gaza and building a resort on the rubble isn't even something a cartoon villain would do, it's what a parody of a cartoon villain would do. And I heard someone said invading Canada is something out of South Park, which I agree with based on what I've heard about South Park.
"The May 1930 cover illustration of Garm pokes fun at the advocates of a Great Finland who are depicted as showing a keen interest in Swedish territory, off the west coast of the Gulf of Bothnia. This dynamic and cynical style is Signe's hallmark. The title of the illustration is "Unrequited love, or a proposal of a young male advocate of the Ultra-Finn movement (Aitosuomalainen) to a Swedish lady from the west coast of the Gulf of Bothnia." A young muscular man carries a Finnish puukko under his belt and a hip flask with alcohol in his pocket. The young woman is clearly repudiating his advances. Her anxiety, stemming from an unwelcome proposal, is not only suggested through her expressions and gestures, but also by the black shadow which darkens the background.
The illustration openly reveals Signe's (and the editor, Rein's) aversion to the Ultra-Finn movement which partly arose from Signe's belief that its vision of a Great Finland revealed Fascist tendencies popular at the time. During the 1930s and 40s, Nazi Germany was expanding its territories under the slogan of "Lebensraum [Habitat]." Witnessing Hitler's iron-fisted success, the pro-German sentiments of the right wing in Finland gained increasing force."
My son Ahmed is a heart patient and has holes in his heart. New tests were conducted on him, which showed that he was suffering from a problem with his eyes, and that there was damage to the nerves in his eyes as a result of his admission to the nursery and his exposure to oxygen. He needs urgent surgery, and unfortunately its costs are high and we do not have the money because of the Gaza war. We need your help by donating and sharing the post. I hope to save my child as soon as possible.
We need your help. The situation is very difficult. We need your help. You are our last hope. Food, clothes, milk, rent, everything has become very expensive. My son Ahmed needs a heart surgery. Save my son so he can complete his treatment and have the surgery.🙏🙌
So today I tripped. Fell flat on my face, it was awful but ultimately harmless. My service dog, however, is trained to go get an adult if I have a seizure, and he assumed this was a seizure (were training him to do more to care for me, but we didn’t learn I had epilepsy until a year after we got him)
I went after him after I had dusten off my jeans and my ego, and I found him trying to get the attention of a very annoyed woman. She was swatting him away and telling him to go away. So I feel like I need to make this heads up
Don’t get scared, don’t get annoyed, follow the dog! If it had been an emergency situation, I could have vomited and choked, I could have hit my head, I could have had so many things happen to me. We’re going to update his training so if the first person doesn’t cooperate, he moves on, but seriously guys. If what’s-his-face could understand that lassie wanted him to go to the well, you can figure out that a dog in a vest proclaiming it a service dog wants you to follow him
Hello world 🌎 Am Muhshin magala an LGBTQ person in a sudan refugee camp. I and my fellow LGBTQ refugees face a lot of challenges including homophobia, hunger, lack of medication, lack of bedding and so many other challenges.
We are aiming at raising 5,000 USD to help this younger kid who burned with hot water and cover all those expenses so that LGBTQ people can get essential necessities like pads, food, medication and bedding so that they aren’t pressured into prostitution. Anything you can give will be of much help towards our survival however small it may be.
We thank you for standing with us in this horrible and traumatizing situation
