I mean I know a certain level of projection on fictional characters and situations is inevitable and even healthy, but sometimes you got to step back into the real world to remind yourself that Character X is not your shitty parent/abusive ex/asshole boss/bully from high school, and that people who like Character X are not personally victimizing you.

Two years ago RF invaded Ukraine and tried to take Kyiv in few days (failed). Since then it occupied east-south Ukraine (~26% of territory) and keeps committing war crimes against us. Aside from fights on frontline, RF keeps shelling our cities, towns and villages with missiles. Even tho we desire to gain our deserved freedom and victory as soon as possible, our enemy is ready for a long war which is horrible. And of course it contributes greatly into propaganda to make people believe this invasion was justified even tho it is absolutely not.

Any donation is important and very appreciated, even one dollar, even 25 cents (believe me this is averagely how much people donate at a time). And I remind you that the sooner we win, the sooner we won’t need to be financially supported as we are now.
