Dear Humanity,
I'm Haya from Gaza , from a family of 8 people: my parents, two sons, and four daughters (two of them suffer from allergies).
I've witnessed the evidence of the tragedy that has struck our lives in Gaza, where my family and I have survived amidst numerous previous wars. But today, we face the most dangerous and fierce battle in the current war. The urgent need intensifies for us, as we have nothing left and are unable to secure our basic needs such as food, water, and safe shelter.
Here is our story - On October 7th, our lives changed forever, my family and I evacuated from northern Gaza to southern Gaza, hoping to return soon, but it wasn't meant to be. Our home was surrounded, burned, and then completely destroyed, Our home, once a fortress of hope, now lay in ruins, a stark reminder of our shattered dreams.
The night before we left from the north to the south was terrifying. Shelling sounds were everywhere, making a loud noise that felt like it went through our souls. Every explosions shook the ground like earthquakes, sending shockwaves of fear through our trembling bodies. filling us with fear. The air smelled of destruction and blood, making it hard to breathe. When dawn came, we saw the devastation around us, realizing our home was now a symbol of loss and despair.
We ran into the streets and with each step we took into the unknown streets, we felt as if we were plunging deeper into the abyss of our shattered existence, leaving behind everything we own in our home: Clothes, important official documents, the car, and literally it's almost everything - the enormity of our loss weighed heavily upon us.
Our home it was where we found hope, safety, and made precious memories. Losing it felt like losing years of our lives, leaving us adrift amidst the wreckage of our shattered existence.
A brief video depicting the devastation that struck our home and our entire neighborhood in Gaza.
Desperate Plea: Escaping Gaza's Allergy Nightmare
I, Haya, suffer from severe allergy to penicillin-derived medications, and my sister, Amal, also suffers from severe allergies to medications from my family such as Paracetamol and Ibuprofen.
These allergies create a deep sense of fear and anxiety for us, as we live in a constant state of tension and fear of anything that may require a visit to the hospital. We fear being given inappropriate medications due to the unavailability of suitable treatments in Gaza because of war or lack of awareness and not informing the doctor of our allergies, which could lead to serious consequences threatening our lives.

Our dreams are heading towards oblivion in the labyrinth of an uncertain future
My story, along with my siblings, represents a united team of four individuals, three of whom are skilled programmers and one graphic designer. We work as freelancers in the world of freelancing.
As for my younger sister, she is a student studying at the College of Architecture. She has always carried a big dream in her heart, a dream of being part of changing Gaza, of making it more beautiful and better. She looked forward to the day when she would receive her degree and start building this dream. But the beginning of the war changed everything. The destruction of infrastructure and universities cast shadows of despair over her dreams.
When I think of my brother in Belgium, I can't help but feel deep sadness. He has been suffering from unbearable anxiety and insomnia since the outbreak of the war. Sleep eludes him at night, and his physical and mental health collapses under the weight of these heavy burdens, negatively affecting his performance at work. Problems and challenges pile up in front of him without the slightest opportunity for rest.
We all feel psychological pressure and extreme anxiety. The war hasn't been limited to external attacks but has deeply infiltrated our daily lives. We search among the rubble for a little safety and the basic resources for survival. Every day comes with a new challenge that we must overcome.
As we sway amidst the rubble of shattered dreams, our souls wrestle and our hearts beat strongly challenging the ravages of war.
Our parents earnestly seek a way to rescue us from this hell, feeling the heavy responsibility for every moment we spend under the shadows of fear and destruction. They dream of a safe place where they can build for us a better future, filled with security and hope, for we deserve life in all its meanings of comfort and peace.
Perhaps this fundraising campaign represents a light in the midst of darkness, it is indeed the only hope we cling to firmly.
I appeal to the world as a whole to hear my cry and the mournful cry of my family in Gaza. We need the helping hand that reaches out to wipe our tears and build a bridge to safety.
Your donation is not just a donation; it's an opportunity to rebuild life and brighten a better tomorrow. Be part of our hopeful story, for we need your hand to start anew.
The purpose of the fundraising campaign
The goal of this fundraising campaign is to rescue my family - my parents, my siblings, and me - through the Rafah Crossing to Egypt, which currently requires $5000 per person. This campaign is our only chance to stay alive, and I humbly request your assistance at this critical time. I will provide you with a comprehensive breakdown of the expenses, committing to transparency and clarity.
Thank you for your kindness and support.

Rewatched Spiderverse, Redesigned my Spidersona.
I kept the “multi-eye” because most of my spider bites have been on my eye. The others were on my legs so, Jumping spider themed in the sense she doesn’t have webs but can manage incredible vertical leaps.
So, officially this is:
Kit Carter aka “Aranea” cause I can’t think of a better name so my old spider themed OC from when I was 12 will have to work
Along with the vertical jumps, her legs also serve as built in shock absorbers. The consequence is she now walks on the balls of her feet almost all the time. So she tends towards flatter shoes with a lot of give.
Along with the jumping her “Multi-Eye” allows her to switch between types of vision.
Blue is a Zoom lens allowing her to see details from very far away.
Green let’s her see the ultraviolet spectrum which, gives her a headache. The human mind was exactly supposed to see that, so using the green “setting” is the cause of many migraines.
Yellow is infrared allowing her to see in the dark, which while New York is the city that never sleeps it is great for sneaking into places.
I plan on drawing more from her New York (The Fan Four, some of her villains, friends, ect) and ACTUALLY getting to her “one last time” deal.
the obsession some people have with their ships being canonized…..who are you, the catholic church
In which Vash and Knives are both the Mothman. Meryl, Milly & Wolfwood are Cryptid Hunters who get into Shane & Ryan style shenanigans.
My designs so far for this AU. (I mocked up both a Stampede and Classic style for Vash so people could choose their preference for him)
Still in the early stages for this, but I’m having fun.
An Attempt at Amos From Zoo, not quite sure how to draw a Half insect person. And much of his face details are hidden by the more insect-y parts.

Hello, I am Mahasen,a Digital Artist from North Gaza, where creativity thrives despite challenges. My father passed away, making me the main provider for my family.
Before the war, I worked in motion graphics with international companies, specializing in character design and storyboarding.
The conflict forced us to evacuate repeatedly, and our home was damaged. My essential art equipment and tablet were stolen and destroyed, representing years of hard work and creativity. Now, we are homeless, unsafe, sick, and financially insecure.
Our family includes:
My mother, 62.
My sister Mai, 35, visually impaired.
Myself, Mahasen, 31.
My brother Mohammed, 28, visually impaired, and his wife Iman, 28.
My youngest brother Amin, 21.
Your support is crucial to help me rebuild and ensure my family's safety and survival. Your contribution will replace my tools and restore our hope and creativity.

just a reminder - do NOT boycott streaming services or not watch new things. the unions have not called for one for a reason. for one, it affects residual payments, which as minimal as those currently are, actors are still getting them during this time, and for two, studios will use lack of viewership as an excuse to cancel shows because you are showing them there is no demand. it deeply affects the industry the writers and actors stand to come back to once the strike is over
Once again, random and kind of dumb TMNT doodles. This one is because I was watching the 2003 version (again) and Casey is still my favorite human character.
So time to draw kind of what I think he would look like in Rise. Because he deserves to be in Rise, and until we get a canon design speculation is fun!
And then draw my own Oc and him being friends and goofing off.
The basic story behind these drawings was that Kit and Casey were friends before she got mutated, after getting mutated not much has changed between them, though now instead of normal activities like seeing if Casey can break the automatic pitching machine at the batting cages, they run around and splatter ooze-squitos! I mean someone has to right? (Basically me saying since Casey isn’t in the show yet neither of them know the guys exist)
