It's been said before but I'm saying it again: being mentally ill and very self aware of it is extremely annoying because it's like:
My Brain: You are worthless and everyone is making fun of you.
Me: Uhh, no? I just had an extremely minor, low stakes misunderstanding, and everyone was very cool about it. It's fine. No need to panic.
My Brain: [immediately dousing itself in cortisol] You don't get to decide that. Now I'm cancelling all of the dopamine and serotonin. You can just sit there and think about your unforgivable error.
Me: Wildly unnecessary, but ok I guess
Ghada's Journey from Gaza:
A Plea to Save My Family from the Horrors of War
Hello, my name is Ghada, I am 32 years old,
and I once lived a life full of hope and ambition.
As the bombing intensified and the violence escalated, we were forced to flee our beautiful home, which was completely destroyed, to the city of Rafah in southern Gaza. We lived in a small tent barely a few meters wide, but even that was not enough. We were forced to flee again to central Gaza, where we now live in a school for displaced people, moving from one place to another without knowing when this tragic journey will end πποΈ.
I also have two married brothers, Mohamed and Ahed, who live with us in the same displacement location with their children (Lama, Nabil, and Amir) and (Fatima, Eman, and Noor). The children, having lost their toys and games, have found some joy playing with the pets πΎ, trying to find happiness in the darkest of times.
But the bitter reality is that we are living in an uninhabitable environment. Diseases and insects are widespread, and sewage water floods the area around us. The children, who should be focused on learning and playing, now suffer from malnutrition and disease. Recently, the spread of the polio virus among them has only added to their pain and suffering π¦ π.
All we hope for now is to find safety, to not die before we can escape or move to a safer place. But even that simple right seems impossible. We need your help to raise the money needed to cross the Rafah border between Gaza and Egypt, where the coordination cost for one person ranges between $5,000 and $7,000.
We are trying to hold on to hope π, trying our best to find safety for ourselves and our children. With your support, we might just achieve that. Every share of this story, every donation, every bit of help can make a huge difference.
Please, help us raise our voices, and help us save our family ππ.

I never thought of 'bloo' as a possible derivative for my username, probably because it really is short for 'blood oranges' so uh yeahπ (it is pretty cute~) Oh boy I get you though, I am OBSESSED with cardistry and cards in general, pretty sure I never really grew up from my Kaito Kid phase
Hey Niko!!!!!!
I hope you are well and having the best time (unlike me and my poor brain due to exam seasonπ).For the ask game...number 4+34.

OH GOSH exam season. Wishing you the absolute best of luck and a lovely lovely day <3 :3
4. Where do you find inspiration for new ideas?
ooohhhh... it's definitely a mixture of listening to music, watching films, and browsing through pinterest. TSP was heavily inspired by some of my favorite movies ( Last night in Soho, Chinatown, the Third Man, etc. etc. ) but also little, random things like my actual real-life academic pursuits in law and psychology, and also . . . seeing a random poker hand while looking at drawing references and learning that this
is called the 'Dead Man's Hand' <- you can see where TDB got it's logo from. after that, things just spiralled.
34. Five years from now, where do you see yourself as a writer?
Hopefully a better one! If you'd asked me this question five years ago, when I was just starting to create my original works and languages and characters, i'd have said 'published!' but since writing isn't what i want to do as a career ( and I'm not an English major, god forbid ), it's a hobby I'm letting myself take slowly, and take my sweet time to develop :)

A Plea for Help from Gaza: A Family Seeking Safety
Hello, I am Samar Shamiya, married to Hashem Al-Shawish (@hashemsh92) @hashemsh12 . I have a child born in the war, his name is Omar. He is 6 months old.
We live in the midst of the ongoing hellish war in Gaza, trapped between walls of fear and despair.
We struggle daily to survive in an environment filled with threats and dangers.
We are originally from the north of the Gaza Strip, but at the beginning of the war we were displaced several times without anything. Our house was completely destroyed and we are now homeless.
We urgently appeal for your moral and financial assistance to cover the necessary costs for escaping to a safe environment, where we can build a better future for our children and ensure our family's safety.
We are in desperate need of your support. Any donation, no matter how small, can help save our lives. Thank you for your attention and support during these harsh times.
Samar shamia

I understand that museums have to be dark because light can destroy fragile artifacts. That said, Iβm always afraid to walk around the blind corners because what if there is a skeleton
sometimes I wonder why y'all are obsessed with specific characters and I'm like "why them" but then I remember that sometimes its literally not your choice you just look at them wrong and all of a sudden they're taking up your every thought forever
the destruction of knowledge and culture
This is so cuteeee!!!
