Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.
If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.
A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.
There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.
There is no plan.
Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.
Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.
We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.
This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.
We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.
People are dying.
People are dying.
People are dying and there is no plan.
More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.
My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.
Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.
But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.
She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.
So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.
If you can, donate.
Or spread the word.
Help. Please.

It's 10:52 and I just woke up from a nap. Why am I napping at night, you may ask? It's cuz I'm a HEATHEN.
But no I been thinking. What the fuck is up with people going the Egyptians couldn't build the pyramids, they didn't know calculus. That's a thing right? Tell me if I'm wrong.
But I'm be operating under the presumptions that it is. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW IT'S NOT A THING. MOTHERFUCKING AUGUSTUS CAESER BURNT DOWN THE GREAT LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA. Also, like, if Isaac Newton discovered calculus in the 1600s, some 600 years after the dark ages, how come the Egpytians couldn't do it? They got together in 3100 BCE and production started in like 2500 BCE. Good timing to figure out what calculus is.
These are my thoughts in this fine evening. I must study now and hope to find sleep in a few hours. Good night.
Yes
ao3 writers be like "no beta we die like men" like what, the dumbest way possible? like getting electrocuted by sticking a fork into a toaster?? hit fuck it then join the army? like this???
"Havent you ever worked anywhere before?"
PLEASE
There is a deepening void somewhere in her chest.
It's inky darkness poisons her smile,
Breaking it down and reshaping it into something more cruel and lifeless.
But there is a shimmering layer of what is left of her.
It sits at the bottom of that hole, like a fine dusting of sugar on the best sweets.
Happy memories and love and ambition and joy lie somewhere in between,
It tries and tries to push her forward and just barely supplies her breaths.
But every time, without fail, she reaches deeper and deeper into herself to pull out what little is left,
And offers those splintering pieces to be soothe and provide.
They are rarely every returned in good health.
So often, she is left pillaged, burned, brutalized, and diminished
And ready to go again,
To scrape out whatever that is left,
And to display it with broken and bleeding hands to her world once more,
Until there is nothing but a pit where she had once glimmered gleefully and open to the world.
What a fat mood, I havent even thought about my wips 😅
I can't decide which andreil wip to work on ;____;
aftg au but Tilda gave Andrew to his father who is the head of another mob family part four (parts 1 - 2 - 3)
It wasn't difficult to convince Neil to sign in with the foxes, Andrew just had to say exy five times and Neil said you got me there. Andrew called his father and told him about Nathaniel
you see, Andrew's father wanted to take down the Moryimas and he wasn't nearly strong enough, but if Andrew played his cards right he could use Neil to make a deal with the Harfords because when Mary and Nathaniel went to Andrew's father, he wasn't powerful enough to even think about it. But now??? if they talk, they could eat the Moryimas in a fancy plate. just the second branch actually, but still fancy plate and golden spoon. Diamond knife maybe.
however, it was dangerous. Andrew's father didn't send his son as a spy inside the Nest because Andrew would end up dead or kidnapped and it would be for nothing. Having Kevin and Neil with him will not get Andrew killed as easily but it would bring attention and danger to Andrew anyway
not that Andrew's father is weak, actually he is so powerful that i cant even say his name. Is not me without creativity for a name, noo, is the mob families and the FBI threatening me
When Neil arrived, Andrew, Aaron, Nicky and Kevin were waiting for him at the airport. Kevin didn't trust Andrew with the new kid because maybe just maybe when Andrew said he convinced Neil to join the team, he also said "i hate him, he's stupid. Gonna end up dead"
he does hate Neil (Neil didn't like the name Nathaniel so Andrew was using Neil and Abram to call him), because the junkie insisted on asking Andrew to admit that he likes exy. how dare him
Andrew was surprised when Neil said hi to him and not to Aaron, both of them were wearing black and had similar hair cut but Neil just stare at them and found Andrew.
andrew: whats this warm felling inside my heart
aaron: new kid has eyes, good for them
they talked in the car and Neil crushed Nicky's dream saying that he doesn't swing.
andrew: why im sad??
Andrew did not told Nicky that the rabbit was all around the world and probably knew germany so Nicky gossiped about Neil being so so handsome until Andrew glared at him
Later, when they were at Wymack's he promised that he was safe, that Wymack wasn't a bad men.
His fake brown eyes were bright like the sun when he saw the court (Andrew wanted to punch him then carefully cup his face and take off that fake brown so he could see the strong blue after so many years)
the days passed with Kevin training with them and Andrew and Neil telling each other truths, Andrew made a deal with Neil, if Neil stayed, Andrew would protect him, Neil is keeping Kevin's interest anyway. Nicky loved Neil and Aaron ignored Neil
When the upperclassmen arrived and the coach said the Ravens changed districts Andrew guessed that Kevin already knew because he wasn't panicking, so Andrew made Kevin understand that it wasn't okay hide important things from people who want to protect you, Kevin!
what Andrew didn't understood was why Neil wasn't running? like he is owned by the Ravens, Andrew's father said so, why Riko coming closer wouldn't be a reason for Neil to go in rabbit mode?
did he trusted Andrew's protection that much? Oh, no, the warm felling again Andrew will ignore it. Fellings aren't real if you ignore them enough.
but no, Neil didn't knew that he is owned by the Moryimas, they were in the roof when Andrew told him and Neil stopped breathing and looked ready to run. Andrew hold him by his neck and said "We have a deal, rabbit, do your part and I will protect you", then they smoked in silence for a long time
Dan and Matt were quick in adopting Neil and saying that they were sorry about the monsters
Neil had to bite his tongue until he felt the blood so he wouldn't defend Andrew.
Neil learned to like Matt and Dan eventually, they were nice and when Neil said stop calling them monster or die by my hands! they stopped.
Andrew told Neil about Renee, not her secrets, just enough to not startle the rabbit
even so, the rabbit was startled. she had something dark, but she was trying to be better, she was sweet and nice. Neil could see she and Andrew dating like Matt said
(when Neil asked about it, Andrew's ears went pink and he glared at Neil for solid five minutes then said "ask Renee", when Neil did, Renee told him Andrew is gay)
Allison and Seth. Neil hated them. They just wouldn't stop calling Andrew a monster, it was so annoying that Andrew had to hold Neil to stop him from punching Seth and gutting Allison
after Neil screamed at Seth "who the fuck do you think you are to judge people? say shit about Andrew's lot but they are your team, respect them or you are too perfect for that? You, drugged out of you mind? What's wrong with you? Are you jealous of Kevin because if you are, just get better than him! You have potential but you throw it away, you throw everything away, you can't even hold your relationship for more than 3 days! Wake up, Gordon, stop hiding behind your hate" things got better
slowly the foxes would learn team work but not at time for their first game, they lost but it wasn't so ugly, it was better than usual, better enough that they had an interview
