Hey guys, I was reached out to by my friend Siraj @siraj2024 to share his story and shed some light on his situation
Siraj used to live in Northern Gaza with his family of five, including his wife and three children. He had painstakingly built the family house over ten years, going into debt so that he could provide a beautiful home for his family. But when the occupational forces declared war on Gaza, the area where he had built this home was one of the first areas to get invaded and destroyed by the tanks and bomb shells.
This is the state of their family's beloved home now:
Since large portions of their home was destroyed and they were forced to flee from the violence, Siraj's family has been displaced six times in the months that followed.
Siraj has described to me that living out of these tents has been like living in a convection oven under the current heat wave, and full of disease ridden pests.
His children, who should have been in school and playing with other kids their age, instead have to worry about if they'll have enough water for the day and how they will carry it over long distances. They have to stand long queues just to fill their buckets and even then, the water is so polluted that they have to risk serious illnesses like hepatitis when they drink it anyway, for the sake of their survival.
They have lost an entire year, along with a lot of hopes and dreams, to this genocide that they will never get back.
The gravity of their situation cannot be understated. They do not have access to clean water. They do not have access to basic medical care and hygiene products.
There is no safe place left in Gaza. They are constantly living under the threat of violence from the IOF, illness and starvation.
The funds collected from this gfm will go into reconstruction of their home, as well as providing for the family's basic needs during this troubling time.
Please support Siraj and his family to rebuild his home, educate their children, and meet their needs.
This gfm was vetted by @/nabulsi and appears on their list of vetted fundraisers (#219)
They have a long way to go, so please dont hesitate to donate anything you can! No amount is too little!
And if you can't, please spread the word so that someone else can. Please make sure to follow Siraj's blog @siraj2024 so you can hear updates on the situation from him directly!
It’s already over…I can’t believe this…
Being a prototype for the PrettyDoll’s toy line has been hell for Lou. Constantly having to be a perfect example to the other dolls, following strict procedures, and having little freedom, it was all too much for poor Lou. To make things worse, he has to go through these testing phrases where he’s torn apart and put back together.
Eventually, Lou got sick of it all and wanted to get away from the pain. Little did he know, he was going to run into the Original; The Prototype. The Prototype greets Lou in a calm manner, understanding his pain. He lets Lou know that he has a plan to free all the experiments from Playtimes Co.’s cruelties, and ask Lou to join him in his rebellion. Without hesitation, Lou agrees; sticking by The Prototype’s side, no longer feeling alone.
Author note: Yay!! I been wanting to make this post for a while, but my old IPad had a reboot loop issue and I had to get a whole new one. Definitely gonna try to post more ideas on this au, but I also want to do some Cookie Run fanart as well since I got back into the game earlier this year. I’m also planning to do some commissions, so look forward to that. :)
Quit judging yourself for every mistake you make along the way. Whether you're writing fiction, fanfiction, or nonfiction, just write. If you can't correct your errors as you go, that's okay. When I don't have the brainpower to multitask, I focus on the writing stage one step at a time. Just write!
"It's not ready if it's not perfect." That's a lie. When you're in the process of writing, it's best to concentrate on getting your thoughts on paper.
Join lively communities with active writers or forums that host events inviting writers to share their work for critique. Not every critique is constructive; learn to discern which feedback to take on board and which to ignore.
You can't give what you don't have. You learn a lot from reading similar pieces in your chosen genre. Reading is also a source of inspiration that fuels your writing process.
Writing is no small feat. It takes talent to formulate a story with your mind and skill to visualize it for others to see. Do you love writing? Then keep doing it because it takes practice.

my prediction didn’t come true :(
BOO! *Jumpscares you with more fake Camp Camp Horror Game screenshots*
(NOT AN OFFICIAL OR ACTUAL GAME)
Lovely. Just Lovely.
wherever you go, i will follow
Hello miss Amber, I have something that I think should be brought to your attention.
There’s an account claiming that they work for mob entertainment and they seem to be answering certain questions regarding Poppy Playtime’s lore (how the human characters act, when playtime.co was created, etc which should go against some sort of NDA contract that you guys may have?), and most people are believing them without hesitation.
Down below are some screenshots from the account.
Now I do not believe anything to what this person is saying at all due to their lack of evidence that they even work for Mob entertainment and how they act towards shipping with only the Smiling Critters.
They have also reposted art from you and a few other artists without giving credit.
If you need anything else regarding this account, I’ll be happy to share it with you.
Thank you for your time!

@ask-mob-employee-anything Take down your fucking blog impersonator.
I was listening to mlp "Unleash the magic..but better" and I was suddenly reminded of "Victoria". (Context is with doll pulturgory.)
So here's the idea-
Victoria is the one singing the lady's part. ("I've realized that you've always been an outcast.") The echoing of "Free the magic"/ oh wa waHAHA(bye) are sang by some also deleted characters of the pretty dolls. Here's some concept art.
So like, imagine them singing in the background while Victoria sings to Lou. Lou will be singing Twilight's part.
The scenery would be Lou right in the middle of the council, and it surrounds him. And right above the head's of the council are screens that show parts of uglyville, and the uyglies are very oblivious to the cameras around them. (Maybe some robots must have put it there, idk. And I don't know what time setting this is.)
Here's a helpful idea
The song starts with Victoria singing to Lou of how he should exterminate the uglydolls. Somehow, I don't know how, but there are like, bombs (idk) underground. They are all connected, and waiting to be triggered by a push of the button infront of Lou, and finmaly destroy the entire village.
Victoria and the council pressures Lou into pressing it, and what would happen if he wouldn't. The markets would decrease, the reputation/legacy of the factory would fall because of unappropriate dolls on the stocks, and its all because of him not making sure ONE reject would be recycled. Because of that, uglyville was made, BECAUSE OF LOU. So it's really all on him that the uglies were multiplying. The lyrics hit "It's up to you to not fail THIS TIME." It shows how they gave Lou one last chance to do his job right, and if he fails, the uglies would continue to ruin the hundred of years' reputation in toy making factories. Because of him. (Lyric: "If we lose, then you're to blame.") And that he would be punished severely.
(My English sounds so bad that I can't explain well I'm so sorry)
So when you start listening to the beginning of the song-
It starts with the typical gaslighting and Victoria trying to make Lou believe what he's doing is right.
The council sings the echos behind her and to Lou's face. Cue the music
The council would show Lou the possibilities if he pressed the button. Things would go back to normal, and Lou will have his role and purpose back.
In the song of Luna's part, it would be ox saying that some uglydoll race would begin, and it would switch from Lou's contemplations if he wants to do it or not. Maybe the council would tell Lou to make them feel the anguish and despair he has felt for decades.
Victoria would look so pretty
And maybe, again idk how but like some of my ocs would be there???? What
Along with Nolan who's being held down by a robot. Maybe they found out that Lou has been making friends with rejects again, and some perfect dolls that are not up to factory standards.
Nolan would be the one to say spike's part
("TWILIGHT NO!")
And then the last part of "Now!" Is like ox beginning the race and vitoria signalling Lou to press it.
And that's the end of my ramble. Thank you for listening.
Port by the Sea is yet another welcome addition to the field of indie animation that's worth diving into! Fans of dragon ball and nautical adventures will want to keep their eye out on this series.
