i NEED them to speak like they're ripped straight from spongebob and pirates of the caribbean
I was just talking to Ahmed @90-ghost (alongside Av, who might be reading this, idk if theyād like to be part of this post tho). He has given me permission to write a post about our conversation.
This whole thing has gotten Ahmed to the point where he admits heās started to hate tumblr after 12 years of being on here. He has over 3k messages in his inbox and canāt handle it right now, his brother and other family members are still in Gaza and he himself doesnāt have the money to help them out. Iāve noticed that donations have slowed among palestinian fundraisers in general, before this whole debacle that a few individuals on this site started. this is anecdotal, but I know Ahmed gets like $30-$50 per week in donations at this point, and that barely makes a dent in his and his familyās needs. Remember that people in Gaza need to pay massively inflated prices for what basic necessities are available right now. I think things are looking pretty dire to the people who would like to flee Gaza but donāt have the money. It already was dire that Egyptian government, working in lockstep with Israel and the west, charges $5k+ to Ghazzawis. Hala Agency, Ibrahim Al-Argani, and the other scumbags running the Egyptian state are all demons and theyāve lined their pockets throughout this genocide. But I digressāit was dire already and now the enthusiastic aid that helped people like Ahmed seems to have run dry.
All that is to say: Ahmed canāt continue to verify peoplesā documents or promote their fundraisers at this stage. Heās privately talked to hundreds of Ghazzawis and looked at their IDs, and he was the only person doing it for a while (a very small handful of other Palestinian users on here were doing it, but theyāve also gotten overwhelmed and stopped). When he was in Gaza, Ahmed was displaced multiple times, left sleeping in tents or on the streets while in active physical danger, starving, forced to drink unsafe water, and often sick. Itās not an exaggeration to say that his body and mind have been pushed to the limit. When he told me heās depressed all day after doing this work while attracting a ton of negativity, I told him heās allowed to stop for the sake of his own health, because frankly he needs to focus on his physical recovery. Thereās nothing selfish about that, itās not sustainable for him to be doing this, particularly not when heās still under the immense stress of his brother and other relatives remaining in Gaza and relying on him for help.
Since I know people will ask: I currently donāt know of anyone on tumblr who still vets fundraisers. Everyone I know of who did has had to stop. I donāt know about the inner workings of Operation Olive Branch, but they seem to be one of a few collectives with enough members to distribute this work. It IS work, and those of us who have tried to do it have done so with a low failure rate (el-shab-hussein and nabulsiās spreadsheet had over 200 entries and they misidentified a scam as legitimate ONCE). I hope everyone will be more considerate towards the people at collectives like OOB.
This has always been a matter of personal discretion. The vetting process some users tried to implement on here is meant to help people who want to help and accept the risk of offering aid to strangers. If you donāt trust bloggers whoāve been proudly Palestinian on this site for years, thatās up to youāgenuinely, itās fair to think āI donāt know this person and I donāt know what standards theyāre operating on.ā In the future, anyone who has such concerns should consider asking good-faith questions to the people involved and to converse with them like adults before jumping to accusations, conspiratorial posts, etc.
So. Maybe likeā¦the next day or so after making Goob. Canāt recall. I made Dandy! Heās a bit wonky but I adore him! Now I have two silly characters!
I kept thinking he would look weird but Iām so happy he looks pretty decent! The paper I had used to melt the pieces together added a dent that is obvious..but anywho! I kept thinking he would look like SANS. REMOVE THOSE PETALS..SANS..
I have also drawn this! This one is where I would spin the wheel. Draw at least that one character I have got over 3 times! Near the bottom I would begin to make the second character I would get from the wheel and make them interact with each other at least one time! Trying to see if it would just fit the characters if they talked or something! I also added my own headcanons and ideas! I am currently drawing them all again but Twisteds! Dandy was drawn 4 times as the whole canvas was originally supposed to be just him but I decided to simply add every other character!
Iāll post more art in 2 days. Ignore when I said āIāll post whenever.ā No. 2 days. From now āŗļø..ANYWAY.
Tell me which ones are your favorite! Iād love to know :)
hehe.....reblog....pls...
