number 15 erased Fidds' memory from traumatizing pastime with Ford
You use "arospec people can still date and feel romantic attraction " as an excuse to ship cannon aro characters , I use it as justification to headcannon characters who canonically feel romantic attraction as arospec , we are not the same
Thank you to everyone who helped the Ashour family reach €40,000.
As @dlxxv-vetted-donations pointed out, the longer it takes to raise €50k, the longer this family is forced to spend the funds on their survival instead of their evacuation. We don't know when the Rafah crossing will open again, but it is imperative that they have the funds ready for when it does.
Let me reintroduce you to this young family:
The Ashour family consists of Amal, her husband and baby Maryam. You can follow Amal at @amalashuor
Before the genocide began, Amal was studying for a Masters degree in French, and Maryam was only 9 months old.
Previously, their goal was to raise €30,000 to evacuate Gaza, however they have since been violently displaced several times. Costs in Gaza have been skyrocketing - transportation, tents, rent as well as food, baby formula, diapers and hygiene products. This has forced Amal to use the funds that were meant for their evacuation.
As of last month, bombings by the occuptation forced them to flee from Rafah to Khan Younis, then to Deir al-Balah, and then west from there. Please read Amal's post explaining this situation as well as the breakdown of expenses, and why they raised their goal to €50,000.
The money they raise from this fundraiser is all they have to survive. Just think about that. Maryam is facing severe malnutrition not only due to aid being blocked from entering Gaza - with more than 1 million people forced to starve - but also because what is available is extremely expensive.
Now winter is coming, which not only brings freezing temperatures but heavy rain. There isn't sufficient shelter and illness is already rampant - and don't forget they are still under constant threat of bombings and displacement. Everyday the situation is changing faster than any of us can comprehend.
It has been about a month since I started focusing on their campaign, which had been stuck on €30,000 for some time. The fact that it took this long to raise €10k, and that there is still a long term goal of €50,000 to raise, is deeply concerning.
Please give what you can, even if it's as little as €5. These fundraisers survive thanks to several small contributions - a drop in the ocean goes a long way. For this family, your donation is a lifeline.

please speak about palestine
Alright. There are a lot of politics surrounding this event, so much random bullshit that tries to obfuscate the simple fact that what is happening in Palestine is vile, and plainly wrong. When deciding whether or not you should step in and help, you must remind yourself that this isn't about the ''politics'' of the situation, this isn't about the bullshit arguing we make for 'both sides' whilst we sit safely within the confines of our homes - this is about humanity - Don't let people confuse you, or downplay the terrible acts that are happening. See your fellow person in trouble and help them when they're suffering, it's as simple as that.
Imagine how easy it is to spend $20 bucks on a subway sandwich and a side of chips, so instead of doing that, spend the equivalent helping people not die (or do even more!). I suggest you all spend some time donating, sharing with others and helping out where you can <3

foreshadowing
It just occured to me that Stan technically canonically liked to draw, so here's my take of what Stanley's sketchbook would have looked like had he never gave up on art :]
Stanley first found this sketchbook left behind in a dumpster next to a library. The rings that once held the pages together were broken and warped, so he instead fashioned himself a jury rigged binder by weaveing one of his shoelaces through the holes in the side. In the end, it was essentially just a stack of barely held together paper, but he was still satisfied with it.
Pencils were easy enough to snag from the store since they fit so easily inside his pockets; but he had to settle for the shitty stubby pink erasers that barely did its job on the end of the pencils if he made any mistakes.
Stanley wasn't much of a poetic guy, and he didn't do the kind of art that had deep symbolism or meaning behind them. He was more the kind of artist that just drew what was in front of him, plain and simple. Had he been younger, he might have been able to fill in this cobbled together sketchbook in a matter of days, page after page filled to the brim with creatures and adventures of the wildest dreams.
Well, Stanley wasn't exactly a sprightly young child anymore with a boundless imagination to take inspiration from, but 10 years was a long time to be on the road and moving around, so there was plenty for him to draw.
(My primary goal was just to make these pages look as realistic as possible, but I did add in mini backstories in each of the pages' image description, if you feel like reading that :])

KILL IT
Incorrect quotes ft. Stan twins
Hey you guys ever think about how rough and tumble little Stanley Pines tried his hardest to absorb all the ugly meanness of the world to protect his brother— how he became blustery and loud because it was the only way he received attention but also because it shielded his abnormal twin from scrutiny— how he stood in front of Ford with his gap tooth bared and scrawny arms outstretched taking in all the gawking and hurt by being the slip up, the rascal, the troublemaker— and how this ultimately led to Stanford Pines, the dreamy-eyed idealist who couldn’t tell the difference between friend and enemy, and Stanley Pines, the man who became so desensitized to pain that his life became one big bruise. Anyone ever think about that?
It amuses me greatly that the most normal day at the lab probably looked like this...
I have tried my absolute best not to seek financial help online, especially when our collective focus should be aimed towards the welfare of our Palestinians, Congolese, and Sudanese brothers and sisters. I truly have considered countless options before resorting to asking for monetary assistance but I no longer have the means to keep myself alive and my little family afloat. Following my father's death almost three years ago due to colorectal cancer, I was diagnosed late last year with Stage 2A breast cancer.
There's an even elaborate explanation on the fundraising page that I will be attaching in this post. Please, take some time to read it. I am our family's breadwinner, and I am only asking for monetary assistance because I no longer have a job/source of income nor is my previous company willing to shoulder my medical expenses. I am left to fend for myself and I have used all of my savings to afford numerous physical/health examinations and the prescribed medication.
I am going to attach photos of how disfigured my right arm now is, the evident lumps/tumors on my armpits and if you want proof of how the cancer affected my breasts, please directly message me. I don't think I can explicitly share the photos here. But to put enough context, my left breast shrunk into at least 1/3 of its original size.
I am sincerely sorry for being a bother, but if you have the means to donate to my fundraising post, please do. I badly needed all the help I can get so I won't be summoned to court and would be able to afford surgery on time. If you cannot donate, please kindly share this post. If you have any other questions, please reach out to me through direct messaging. This is my only account (I will probably reblogged this on my side blog as well) so please, if you see someone using my photos, alert me. Thank you. Please understand, too, that I will take a bit of time to respond because I am struggling to grasp my phone/only typing using my left hand. Thank you, and please consider helping me.
Baby Bill is so puntable. Squished banana taffy ah baby.
award-winning palestinian children's illustrator baraa awoor writes:
"what use is it to be an illustrator of children's books when the world has sentenced the children of your country to the death penalty, to vanish, to genocide?"
some of baraa's illustrations:
this is an illustration for youssef, whose mother is remembered running desperately into the hospital asking if anyone had seen a "small white boy with beautiful curly hair, his name is youssef," a description which was remembered by millions when she finally identified his body:
this illustration is for young omar, who was hugging his little brother and teaching him how to repeat the shahada after him (a prayer spoken by muslims before their death) as he lay on his hospital bed:
"we want a new year that doesn't kill us or our children, we want it a year without blood, without screaming, without pain, we want a new attempt to get our lives back, or something that resembled our life, even if life is a lie we still cling to it, return life to us—a new year's card unlike any other year:"
Mohammed and Farah are twins and college students — or, at least they should be. Mohammed and Farah have suffered extremely under the genocidal occupation and siege which has been increasing in intensity relentlessly. They have been month to month asking for help to make rent, and we have all supported them, and Mohammed and Farah thank you deeply for that. But now they have their sights set on escape, with hope that the borders may reopen. They hope to meet their next goal within September.

DREAMCAPTOR AU, FIDDLEFORD REF and lore rambles eheh
Grunke stan and fiddleford in this au run the mystery shack together, stan hosting the oddities and fiddleford running the ''mystical'' part of the attractions-
THERE IS A CLEAR DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TWO ATTRACTIONS☝️💥💥💥/hj/hj XDD
now, to the nit and gritty of some of their lore, the twins are still visiting their ''great uncle stanford'' with the surprise of another oldie who the twins
mistankenly assume [mabel] they we're married, and the two kind of just wen along with it, and their summer happens-
relatively similar. however, fiddleford himself wasn't much of a fun of this set up, as you ya'll know he has ALL of his sanity and memory intact so he knows all he danger that lurks in gravity falls, but there's also another reason why he'd prefer to keep stans family out
the two have been hunkering down on gravity falls after fords ''leaving'' their dimension, and have been doing all they can to hide their dimensional signature from him, to avoid the possibility of him returning,
they've done all they could, even faking their own deaths so their families won't try to get in their way, stanley still faking his deah here and now fiddleford doing the same, no one knows anythn abt this except them
What is the fault of my little son that he was born in this war? He has no right to live as a child like other children. Please help my little son 😭🙏🙏
