this is how it feels to be a kalim stan in twst fandom
Wafaa's family is verified by Hussein (@el-shab-hussein) and Nairuz (@nabulsi) on their spreadsheet (family number 171).
As you may know, tumblr shadowbanned Wafaa on her old blog for three times in two weeks, which prompted her to create a new (now defunct) blog, which lost messaging within 12 hours of creating it, and then promptly got deleted without notice. The response I got when approaching staff about the frequent shadowbans Wafaa was dealt can be read here. tumblr refused to restore Wafaa's account and said any new blog would experience the same treatment.
By now Wafaa has not seen her 6 hardworking daughters (who all have promising careers and educations in front of them) as well as her 4 grandchildren (the oldest of them being 5 years old, and the youngest of whom is born in December of last year, just 6 months old) in five months.
Three weeks ago, Wafaa received news that her beloved sister and niece were both martyred by an iof bombing. Wafaa is anxious to not lose any of her other loved ones and hopes to reach her campaign goal before the start of August, which is when unofficial sources have said Rafah crossing will be opening again.
I would also like to bring your attention to one of Wafaa's daughters, who had to give birth in a compromised hospital in December while suffering from an intense chest wound from iof bomb shrapnel. She was unable to get sufficient prenatal nor postpartum care for herself nor her son, and now is suffering major complications not just from inadequate care but also from infection from her badly healed chest wound. Because of stress and infection, Wafaa's daughter has not been able to breastfeed her infant son, who because of this has been suffering from malnutrition, which could have debilitating long term effects.
Please, do not look away from this family. We have raised about 84% for Wafaa already, let's maintain this momentum until the end of the month to reunite Wafaa with them!!!

Reblog to make it die faster
I’m sorry GC, it was rigged from the start :( I swear you’ll prevail on the next one! And from what I heard from past contests this is like the third time she’s been second. How she hasn’t won one yet is beyond me
@danashehab has been fundraising since may and is just over €15,000 away from their goal l. as stated in the screenshot people are starting to believe the rafah crossing will open so it’s important to make sure everyone has the funds in case they are allowed to evacuate.
thee shehab family consists of dana (13), sahar (14), mona (9), malak (5), yehya (1.5), fahed, (38), reem (32), and grandmother mona (60). they have been shadowbanned and deleted a few times. you can also find this family at @monashehab
The family has had to raise their goal to cover their extended family’s evacuation fees since they are unable to make a new GFM.
The new goal is €85,000.

My thoughts on the line up for Jade’s hometown event:
Why would they add in Rook and Riddle when they’ve already been in a wedding event? I guess Riddle is connected to Floyd (who might I remind is NOT the focus of the event) and Rook constantly romanticizes things so weddings are kinda in his wheelhouse, but, they don’t need this!
So, after going over the characters, here’s my thoughts on who would stand in for Rook and Riddle instead!
First off, I immediately got rid of Ortho. Nothing against Ortho, ofc! I just don’t want Twst to disappoint me. I personally headcanon Ortho to be both transfem and physically 16 post book 6 (or more accurately, post Fairy Gala, but the events aren’t entirely canon) so if she were to be there, I would just be unhappy and so I think I’ll save wedding event gear Ortho for my own mind
Second, obviously Azul and Floyd aren’t coming. I understand wanting both twins to be there, but hometown events only really focus on ONE person from that area, so even if multiple characters are from the same town, then only one of them gets the focus. This is scene most clearly in Jamil’s hometown event, where even though the whole reason why everyone is there in the first place is Kalim, Kalim has barely any focus in the event at all, not even getting his own costume change and staying in his dorm uniform
(Side tangent, I remember when we first saw the Tangled event cards and everyone thought it would be a Riddle hometown event, and if it was, then it would have been SUCH a clever way of finding a solution to the problem of multiple characters having the same hometown. We could have actually gone somewhere new, fleshed out the world a bit, met one of Riddle’s parents etc. without actually going to his hometown, so later down the line Trey could have a focus event and we could probably meet one of his siblings (since the manga gives us designs for his parents) It could have been so clever!! But nope! NRC lore and role playing Tangled during the shortest event instead! I don’t accept it as canon, even more so than events usually are, because a hometown styled event would have been the much better option!)
Onto my actual picks! Vil! The main reason I chose him was because 2/3 of Pomefiore already have a wedding themed outfit, so I thought it would be fun to complete the trio lol. Also, he could fill a similar role to Riddle being more on the reluctant and stricter side of things. I could see Jade doing something similar to Vil as he did to Riddle to convince him to come, too. Also, like I mentioned, Riddle is closer connected to Floyd out of twins most often. Though I guess Riddle is connected to the entire octatrio, being classmates with Jade, going through book 6 with Azul, and Floyd always teasing Riddle. But yeah, Riddle’s already been used in a wedding event so get the other queen to go instead. Plus Jade’s dorm vignette is a thing, even if I haven’t read it myself so idk what actually goes on besides Jade getting Vil new shoes so that Vil can sponsor the Mostro Lounge
Now, if part of the reason that I chose Vil was because he was a good stand in for Riddle, then I thought that the fourth character should be someone comparable to Rook. My first thought was Cater, as a wedding seems like something both of them would enjoy being apart of/barring witness to, but then I thought, this is Jade’s event, and Cater and Jade aren’t all that connected. Even if that’s not really an issue with hometown events, I thought that Kalim might make a better fit instead. And, okay, Jade and Kalim aren’t that connected either, but they’re both second years so that counts? Admittedly I just want to put Kalim and Jade in the same room and have them interact. Kalim would also be pretty easy to convince I think and he’d probably really enjoy the party of it all and seeing two people in love with each other be happy
So yeah, that’s my thought process! I think a team of Jade, Malleus, Vil and Kalim could be really fun! Though, putting any of these guys in a room together would be fun lol. Maybe I’ll design outfits for Vil and Kalim later, but I want to know what other people think too. If anyone has any characters they’d want to see in the event, then tell me why them specifically!
While I’m here, I also want to say: I think Azul’s hometown event should be in the actual Coral Sea and not just on the coast of it and we get to meet his mom, and Floyd’s can also be on land and we get to meet Papa Leech. Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk
Please does anybody have the picture of the orange kitten sitting in front of old yellowed wood paneling and it’s smiling like this. The post where I saw it went something like “little kids before they learn how to smile in photos”
