never trust a twst fan who thinks that the root of all Jamil's problem is because of Kalim and only view him as a happy go lucky person
They keep deleting palestinians blogs holy shit

I want to make sure this information gets through to everyone: the racist genocidal German state could deport Bilal @bilal-salah0 within the next week, after he lost his job and home, heaping cruelty after cruelty onto this young man who has been working nonstop to provide for his family facing genocide in Gaza.
he's supporting 18 people there, including 8 kids under age 16. now Bilal needs to finish fundraising for his family before August 15th when he could be deported. that's one week from today.
Bilal needs to raise ā¬25000 in the next 7 days to make sure his family has enough to survive if he can no longer fundraise. Bilal shared this dire news with us on Tuesday, but in spite of thousands of notes on @malcriada, @appsa, and others' posts about the situation, the campaign received only ā¬3650 in the last two days.
it seems like people are somehow not seeing the urgency and severity of the situation. donations also slowed over the past week because Bilal couldn't be online to promote the campaign, and because of the recent racist attacks against fundraising efforts here. there's a lot of ground to make up and very little time, but we can do it. please donate any amount you can, those ā¬5s add up if enough people help. reblog this as well as the posts linked above, and tell your friends and social media outside tumblr. and most importantly, seriously, please donate whatever you can. we need to come through for Bilal's family now, not later. please take this seriously, please help them.

he's a little down bad but yk what yeah
My name is Ibrahim, and Iām from Gaza. My family is going through the hardest time of our lives. We lost our home in an airstrike, and every day we are struggling just to survive.
We have lost loved onesācousins and friends who we will never see again. My parents are suffering without the treatment they need, and our children live in constant fear, with no safe place to turn. They cry in the night, scared of the bombs, and thereās nothing we can do to make them feel safe.
We feel broken and helpless. Please, if you can, help us. Your support could be the light we need in this darkness.
Thank you,
My campaign has been verified here.

Shadow Milk voiced by me :3
Went to see āSnow Whiteā again. Still holds up, still enjoyed it. My original review still stands.
If you havenāt see it yet, maybe give it a chance?
Ranking every Overblotter based on how sad their backstory makes me: THAT MEANS ITāS VERY BIASED AND SUBJECTIVE!
Waves hands in a manic gesture towards the disclaimer* (Now is your chance to turn around!)
7: Azul Ashengrotto-Got picked on for being different. The thing that takes me out about Azulās backstory and its connection to his overblot is how basic it feels. Iām not here to invalidate his feelings, I understand those insecurities, but apparently the only thing stopping more people from overblotting is that they canāt accumulate blot at the same rate because of lower magic output. If you ask me, the real tragedy of his character is his inability to acknowledge his own achievements. He says, āIāll show them!ā and, yes, hon, you did. Calm down. You are 15, nothing is stopping you from becoming the person you say you are (unlike half the other people on this list). (0/10 He tried to take advantage of my compassion and took my home away. He can cry harder into his money for all I care. Also bottom tier Overblot design.)
6: Vil SchoenheitāHates being typecast and treated like number two. Broās real crime is checking his socials too much and letting it get to him. I feel nothing for Vil and heās only above Azul because his situation is a little less common as a one in a million super celebrity which can come with outlandish amounts of stress I can't comprehend. Again, the tragedy is his inability to be satisfied with his current state of his career and acknowledge his success because someoneās always above him. YOU ARE 18! YOU HAVE YOUR WHOLE CAREER AHEAD OF YOU! Give yourself some space to breath. Heās the one character youād think would know and see a therapist. Heās so perfectly managed about every other element of his life it seems almost out of character for him not to be considering his mental health. If you consider he's even taking time away from his career to go to school and have "normal teen experiences" I don't know why I should feel bad. (0/10 Attempted murder. Jealous biotch. Probably, less sympathetic than Azul actually.)
5: Leona KingscholarāAlso hates his life situation and being treated like second fiddle. Leona is above Vil because he DOESNāT have a way out of being ātypecast.ā Time and talent can't save him. He was born into a situation where he canāt be anything other than the second prince and when he finally got a chance to be number one at something (Spelldrive at NRC) Malleus shows up to put him back down to second place again. Life seems to have a karmic way of making Leona nothing more and I feel that. Honestly, Leonaās state makes me cry but I canāt rank him higher because the canon content for his character is sparse. Most of the elements about Leona are things you have to look into and read out of his actions and backstory and while thatās not bad, itās frustrating that a lot of people overlook them because they arenāt as explicit as the other characters. Leonaās depression is very real, but because the symptoms manifest as less sad-boy and more tired jackass a lot of people overlook his failing mental health. Heās badly written and I feel like the first iteration of his backstory (Book 2 in game) does the worst job about making you feel anything for him considering his actions. (4/10 Smart character with lots of potential but written like an idiot where it counted. Also attempted murder.)
4: Malleus Draconia (TENTATIVE)āDoesnāt want to be alone. After all, whatās the point of being so powerful when itās so lonely? Loneliness is a feeling that I think doesnāt get explored enough in the media I consume (maybe I need to look harder), so Malleus can be a little higher for what I currently perceive as his reasons for overblotting. Heās an immortal being constantly ostracized by the position he was born into and suffers from the classic conundrum of having to watch everyone he cares about go before him. For all intents and purposes heās an orphan. He doesnāt have a lot of people heās related to and can really consider close, so it hits him extra hard when they canāt be around anymore, and for all of his age, as a fae heās really very young, immature, and inexperienced. The game is doing its darndest to make sure that he gets as thorough an explanation as possible and actively wants you to understand where heās coming from and feel bad. So he gets the halfway point because as much as I love this kind of thing, favoritism and getting the longest time to explore his feelings only gets him so high. (6/10 I like that the MC has a personal stake in this one, and he's not actively trying to kill anyone.) (Since Book 8 isnāt over yet, his position is subject to change later.)
3: Riddle RoseheartsāAnal retentive to the extreme. Riddleās mom is so hated by the fandom she is never getting a face reveal. Is now the time to express how bad I feel about Riddle being traumatized by strictness and rules to the point where he honestly believes that bending the most absurd rules will result in disastrous consequences? Maybe. I appreciate that we saw exactly the inciting incident that made Riddle the way he is now. So much of his character falls back on that one time he broke the rules as a kid, and it HAS SO MUCH IMPACT. He gets a lot of props for being one of the few overblotters to actually have character growth post-featured book. Riddle is a contender for second place, but his potential ability to grow beyond his circumstances makes him less tragic. (7/10 Riddle is a surprisingly strong first antagonist in the main story. Almost killed someone, but that was notably AFTER he broke down and turned into a rampaging monster.)
2: Jamil ViperāCan never be his true self. Jamil is another guy who was born into his lifestyle and has no feasible way out of whatās driving him up the wall. Itās not just about Kalim being naĆÆve and sheltered, itās about how Jamil himself canāt ever use the gifts he has or escape from that fate. He is better than Kalim at a lot of things, but has to act like an amateur so he doesnāt outshine the guy heās been sworn to protect and serve. He has expectations set on him, and duties to fulfill, and his best route in life as presented to him is just to be as average and boring as possible despite his innate talent and potential. I donāt know if thereās supposed to be a way for Jamil to get out of his familyās servitude to the Al-Asims that causes him to be so bitter, so at this point I kind of assume heās stuck and that makes it extra sad. The fact that he really just wants to go on vacation makes it hit harder that heās not even that bad for a guy at a villainsā school. Book 5 giving him a chance to break out of that shadow is great, honestly. (8/10 I can't hate him. He just wants a break, man. He wasn't even trying to hurt anyone, but loses a point for dragging Yuu/MC into his scheme. [Don't y'all dare throw Kalim hate in here. That's not what this is about. I will fight you.])
1: Idia ShroudāSurvivorās Guilt. Book 6 really went there and we are going to talk about it. He did something he shouldnāt have as a kid and now he has to live with the fact that his kid brother is dead. He wanted so badly to undo what he did that he built a new version of him even though he knew deep down he could never replace Ortho. No. Iām sorry. Youāre not beating that. Thatās not event including the fact that heās also stuck as a fracking guardian of the underworld in a family that is supposed to be incapable of overblotting in the first place. Idia has textbook depression, and thatās not a bad thing. He feels just as trapped as everyone else and doesnāt see a point to doing anything the conventional way if he doesnāt have to. Idia is NOT a perfect person or character, but as far as his writing for why he ends up doing what he does, I think he easily takes the cake. (10/10 Will weep again. Character writing, with a little dash of hope that he can find some bright spots in life. Extra points for Ortho telling him to keep living. Also, he has the coolest Overblot design. 100/10 for Technopunk Hades.)
