Are you with me?

Spread the word.

One. Your art as always so crunchy and soft, but fluffy. Like creme and yellow or something. Or Turkish pistachio cake(try it with mint tea, it's amazing🎊🎊☺️)

Two. Tomi my love, you are so beautiful and that is a blessing in itself(I imagine Douma calling it that, only reason to use it now huh?). Also, I see the 'first interaction, then falling for someone trope years later' your doing *squints eyes*

Three. I find it interesting that Enmu has a hard time bonding with kid than Douma. Reminds me of post partum depression but kinda switched(My dad didn't bond with me quickly as a baby or toddler, so I kinda get it.)

Four. I notice whenever I look for Tomi eyes they are harder to find in your black and white sketches. When I think it's their eyes, I realized that is its eye-lid. Then thought of a cool thing: if their eyes glowed, it could be seen beneath the lid. Kinda like a creepy but mystical vibe, a new way to lure in prey or something(fish like shiny light)

Tldr: great art *nom and gives fish to Tomi and therapy gift card to Enmu and Doumu.*(Why did I proof read this 6 times to be perfect??)

(One) That sounds delicious. I will be trying it as soon as possible.

(Two) I should have known something was cooking when you went through all my Tomi posts 😭 /pos

Also, with Shuumei and Tomi, while I wasn't really going in with a trope in mind, it definitely falls into it. I just imagined that a kid with no other social bonds would attach pretty quickly to whoever showed them any form of affection. Tomi never had friends or a social circle, so Shuumei is quite literally its entire world beyond its parents. If Shuumei wasn't a nicer person than they are, Tomi would be exploited very easily. That isn't to say what Tomi does struggle with in relation to Shuumei isn't difficult though. When your love interest's parents are former Hashira, you can't expect their favor. No matter how many years its been since the demon war ended.

(Three) There's a reason that Enmu bonded with Douma but not Tomi. Enmu is an inherently selfish and unempathetic person. He didn't even like Douma when he first met him, he was just using him to take over his rank. He didn't feel remorse until he realized that Douma was genuinely on his side and that Douma was aware that Enmu was using him, he just didn't care because he was desperate for the company. Douma proved many times that he was useful and reliable. He treated Enmu like he was worth being alive, even though Enmu believed the opposite. The bond that Douma earned with Enmu is one a baby never earned. Even if it is his and Douma's baby. It doesn't serve him in any way beyond the fact Tomi's birth meant Douma focused less on his depressive spiral and gave him something to live for. Very honestly, when Tomi was born, he could only conceptualize it as a tool for keeping Douma happy and alive. But he didn't want to be like that when he thought of his own mother who treated his own birth like a tool to keep his father with her (and it didn't even work). So he starts to put in the effort, but still really struggles to emotionally bond with Tomi. He just really doesn't know how to, and it makes him feel constantly inferior that Douma bonded with Tomi effortlessly when Enmu couldn't. It felt like a piece of him was broken and that whatever instinctive drive a parent was supposed to have was missing inside him. He doesn't understand his relationship to Tomi as a bond until Tomi starts developing an easily detectable personality, since Tomi stops being a lump of meat in his eyes and starts being a person he can engage with and understand.

(Four) That's interesting! Tomi actually does have light reflective eyes, though it's not quite the same as what you're thinking of. See this post.

Fun fact, Tomi's body (while it can physically eat non human meats and keep them down) can only minimally process animal meats. That is why they're so twiggy. They basically have the demon version if pica. It doesn't like how it feels to eat human meat, and often felt sick or uncomfortable as a result. So it switches to animal meats to try and find something that didn't sit so roughly in the gut. They found it but it's not nutritionally dense for a demon to eat animal meats.

this website - the "everyone here is notoriously already broke" website - has been funneling thousands of dollars to various gaza gofundmes. and then the "required" amount per person got raised, and then gofundme and the finance sites wouldn't release the money, and then the crossing got destroyed and no one can get through. and even when something reaches its goal, I've never actually seen a "success story" about someone getting out or getting their family of rafah because of it

serious question, has any of this mattered? did anyone actually get out because of a fundraiser? have we been doing anything at all other than laundering money for corrupt border guards? is this a better use of donations than, say, the esims? or donating to aid orgs? or any other way of trying to help?

"and i know the gofundmes here can be overwhelming"

here's the thing. fuck being overwhelming, fuck getting exhausted seeing the fundraisers every day, none of that matters. my only question is, have people actually been benefiting from it? not in a "I think someone is impersonating people and scamming us" way (I trust the verification work people have been doing), but in a "is this actually going somewhere" way. if every single "$5000 x number of people" fundraiser got filled up to the maximum, would it make a single bit of difference?

most of the families that made it to egypt before the border was destroyed by israel did so through funds raised by gofundme, including ahmed @90-ghost on tumblr, at least four people i know personally, and maybe hundreds more i know through acquaintances or i've seen on twitter. if you donated to these campaigns you would know this because they usually post updates saying "good news! we were able to get x out of gaza, but now we're trying to get the rest of our family out, so we've upped our goal to x."

most of the campaigns remain open because they will try to get the most vulnerable members of a family out first, after which they will try to get the rest out.

since the border was destroyed right now people are being displaced internally, which means instead of the money going to corrupt border guards it is used to buy tents, buy medical supplies, buy food, or rent some of the few units still standing in different areas within gaza. basic foodstuffs in gaza now can cost up to 200USD. and it is only getting worse and more extreme.

the only entries and exit are through israeli crossings now that egypt has no control over. egypt could be bribed. israel can't. they have a small list of injured children they occasionally evacuate through israel-controlled crossings and airbases, but just so you understand how this is also part of the genocide and how israelis use any excuse to allow more people from gaza to die, netanyahu froze one crossing as a 'retaliation' for the bombing of (syrian, arab) children in majdal shams that no one has actually taken responsibility for.

other crossings were out of use for weeks because israel allowed settlers to block the aid trucks going into gaza, until the rafah border was destroyed and these blockades were no longer necessary.

they also consistently close the single humanitarian corridor, kerem shalom crossing. yesterday it was open to deliver 80 bodies of unidentified dead palestinians to be buried in a mass grave, today the "humanitarian route" is closed until further notice.

if the border was still open, you would have more feel-good stories and you would be confident your money was going to evacuate people (also known as ethnic cleansing. i hope you understand that this best-case scenario you're referring to, this hope you want to cling to, is forced displacement of people who have lost their homes and who may never be able to return.)

but israel destroyed the border. people are still raising money to register their families for once it does open, but there is no guarantee of when that will happen, and most of the money ends up used so they can survive their current displacements within gaza.

there's a lack of feel-good stories because it's a genocide. that's all. this has been nothing but ten months of torture and slow death and closing every avenue for survival to gazans. now you know what that means.

anyway you should donate to e-sims for gaza because those are also running out

This was my home in Gaza…💔

The place where my family and I lived, filling its corners with memories and dreams. But the war left us with nothing; our home was bombed 🥺, and everything we owned turned to rubble. In the blink of an eye, we lost the place that sheltered us and the security that held us together as a family.😔

Today, we urgently need your support—not only to rebuild a place we can call ‘home’ but to regain a sense of safety and stability for my family. Every contribution, no matter how small, will help us start over and rebuild what the war destroyed.🙏🏻🍉🇵🇸

Thank you to everyone who supports us and stands by us during this difficult time. Your kindness is the hope that gives us strength to keep moving forward.🙏🏻❤️

Hey y’all especially those in swing states, eyes up:

CNBC

How an Elon Musk PAC is using voter data to help Trump beat Harris in 2024 election

Tesla CEO Elon Musk says he created America PAC, which collects data in swing states key to the 2024 election between Donald Trump and Kamal

The elongated muskrat has engaged in blatant election interference by putting out a fake voter registration page on Google ads with the clear intention to dupe voters into thinking they have actually registered to vote. It’s likely also a data harvesting tactic.

Hopefully this gets immediately flagged and taken down but we all know this fascist chucklefuck will not see consequences to his actions and this is something that would drag out in court. Spread the word. Only register to vote through state board or check vote.org for more resources. Do not register through anything else ESPECIALLY if it has some sort of clear motivation.

You have no idea how happy I was seeing you reply. I literally thought before taking nap to look through your blog shits and giggles. I recoiled so fast when I saw this, literally scrolling to fast. I've been grining for 5 minutes.

In all seriousness: KEEP COOKING RAAAAHHH. Thanks for the art, I'll feed off this for a few months/j

Hey. International people.

Keep calling it the Gulf of Mexico or whatever your term is for it. Do not allow the Republican regime to label that body of water the Gulf of America to the world. The name came from a the term Mexica, what the Aztecs called themselves. It’s been called the Gulf of Mexico since the 1600s.

Keep calling it Mount Denali. The original name before it was Mount McKinley. Don’t let the First Nations be erased.

It may sound stupid and petty. But it is an attempt to rewrite history and make us forget the origins. It is a literal white washing of history. This type of censorship is a beginning to greater evils.

If you're wondering why polling averages are suddenly showing Trump winning despite all the bad news he's gotten lately- it might have something to do with this:

Basically, Republicans are ratfucking the polling averages by churning out huge numbers of partisan polls, and the polling aggregators/analysts like 538 aren't doing due diligence to compensate for it.

Now, what is the purpose of this?

Well, in the immediate-term, it creates a narrative that Trump is winning, boosting morale of his supporters while demoralizing support for Democrats and Harris.

Beyond that, if polling averages show that Trump is winning ahead of election day-which we can pretty much guarantee they will, because see above-then they will use that as "proof" of fraud if Democrats subsequently win.

Basically, they are engineering a pretext for their next coup attempt in front of us.

The only numbers that decide anything are actual votes. So ignore the polls, and VOTE.

TIME SENSITIVE!

Hey guys i have talked to you about his campaign before but i urgently want to bring your attention back once again to my friend Bilal salah's campaign. This cant wait, so please pay attention.

Bilal ( @bilal-salah0 ) is a 22 year old who moved to germany before the genocide began, and has been raising funds to evacuate his family of 18 from gaza since, including 5 children and 3 newborns.

Bilal's financial support has been getting them through this difficult time, as prices for basic amenities like food and water skyrocket, and necessities like diapers for the babies become scarce due to the blockade.

Currently bilal has raised €66,762 raised of €70,000 goal.

He is less than €4000 away from his goal.

Bilal has been facing problems with his visa in germany and is currently under the threat of deportation. The verdict on that is to arrive in 2 weeks, by August 15th. If he recieves deportation orders, he might be declared stateless by september. He is still caught up in looking for a lawyer to fight this, and due to the uncertainty of his housing situation in the immediate future, he hasn't been able to campaign for his family like he used to before.

I don't know what else we can do for him right now, but the least we can do at the moment is try to get Bilal to his goal so that his family can have this assurance, and so that we can at least ease this one worry off his shoulders. So i am appealing to you to please help him out and get him though that last stretch as soon as possible, he needs all the help he can get.

Please donate any amount you can, and please keep sharing.

TODAY, August 12, 2024, The Animation Guild begins negotiations with the AMPTP to win a new contract for animation. This is a huge fight with severe stakes for the future of the Animation Industry in the US, and the guild needs your support!

TAG is fighting, Right Now, to stop exploitative practices that are weaponized against animation professionals across the globe, and working hard to ensure this industry has a future here in the states.

If you are a fan of animation, whether it's major or independent studios, eastern or western, tv or movies, we need you to get LOUD in support of The Animation Guild. The crews who work so hard to bring these works to life are struggling to pay their bills, if they can find work at all, while studio CEOs are getting multi-million dollar raises to cancel projects and gut streaming libraries.

We can win this fight, but we need public outcry and support. If you work in animation, if you've ever dreamed of working in animation, or if you just love animation, please stand with TAG and support the union effort to keep animation a viable career and a valuable medium!
