An Aquarium In Japan Was Closed For Renovations, And Their Resident Sunfish Got Depressed Not Seeing

🚨 Urgent Appeal for Help from Gaza 🚨

My name is Mohammed, and I am a husband and father of three amazing children. We live in Gaza, a place that was once filled with the vibrant energy of bustling markets, children playing in the streets, and the comforting presence of family and friends. Our city, with its beautiful coastline and historic charm, was a place where we could dream of a better future. 🥺

But today, that Gaza feels like a distant memory. The ongoing war has ravaged our home, leaving it severely damaged and our means of livelihood shattered. What was once a place of joy and community has turned into a zone of fear, with bombings that never cease and the constant struggle to secure basic necessities like food and clean water.

We are weary, and the daily struggle to survive in this war-torn reality has taken a heavy toll on us. The place that once gave us comfort and hope now feels dangerous and uncertain, and I worry about what the future holds for my children.

After much painful reflection, my family and I have made the heart-wrenching decision to leave Gaza in search of safety and a chance to rebuild our lives. We are trying to raise $40,000 to escape the war and cover our living expenses abroad for one year, giving us the time we need to find stability and start anew. 🕊

Leaving our beloved home, the place where we were born and raised, is not a decision we take lightly. But for the sake of our children and the hope of a safer, brighter future, we must take this step. 💔

We humbly ask for your support. Any contribution, no matter how small, will bring us closer to our goal and help us begin the journey toward safety and a new life. 🙏

Thank you for your kindness, understanding, and generosity. 🌹

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

Everytime I see posts like this I get filled with such profound sadness

Cause you know who has the same brainrot as you? The same unhinged feelings as you after you've read the fic? The person who always wants to scream about the fic with you?

THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT

I never used to leave comments but since I got into the habit of commenting on everything i enjoy it's been incredible. Especially when the author gets back to me about it and we get to have a discussion of what other ideas they had. One writer replied to my comment with a 5 paragraph essay detailing the Floorplan of the building the characters lived in and it was incredible

Anyways this is all to say that if you find a fic that just makes you want to scream from the rooftops, leave a comment saying that to the author and maybe they will join you and you can scream incoherently together

Modern Girl In Middle Earth Fanfic Recs

Here is pt.2 of my MGiME recommendations, this time with COWGIRLS! in Middle Earth. I'm so sorry it took so long for part 2. Life has been doing what it does best. Best of wishes!

🔳Caught In A Fantasy By Artemisdesari And Jimiel🔳

Summary: A woman with a chronic disease goes to sleep only to wake up as a dwarf girl in the aftermath of Smaug's attack on Erebor. This fic goes into the cultures of dwarves in Middle Earth and the poverty dwarves faced after the fall of Erebor alongside some good old-fashioned magic and a threesome between your favorite princes.

⚫Compeleted work with 160 chapters (789,966 words.) with a part 2 with 20 chapters(76,562 words.) and an explicit oneshot

Warning: Death, Poverty, Blood, Gore, Implied Incest, Typical Period/Cultural Values

Rating: Mature

Ships: Fili/OFC/Kili ▪ Dwalin/Nori ▫ Dwalin/Dís/Nori ▪ Glorfindel/OFC ▫ Bilbo Baggins/Bofur ▪ Balin/Dori

🔳Never Back Again By Spiders_in_your_Shirt🔳

Summary: An 1800s cowgirl is suddenly transported into Middle-Earth and decides to join Thorin on his quest. She slowly finds love along the way. It's a fix-it fic. I was intrigued by the unique premise of a 'historical' girl in Middle Earth, I also appreciate the semi-historical accuracy and hope more writers try out this premise.

⚫Uncompleted work with 12 chapters (58,729 words.)

Warning: Ghparic violence, Swearing, Historically Accurate Depressing Backstories, Angst

Rating: Mature

Ships: Fili/OFC ▪ Bilbo Baggins/Thorin Oakenshield

🔳Ettelëa By SonaBeanSidhe🔳

Summary: Lorna is a woman with a troubled past who has been on the run due to her mysterious curse-like gift. After getting into a car accident, she finds herself in Mirkwood surrounded by these strange pretty people who she is convinced are part of a Midsommer-esque cult. Lorna does not remember reading the books. Lorna comes from a different version of Earth and is truly a strong character. While flawed, she is well-built and easy to empathize with.

⚫Completed work with 68 chapters (267,621 words.) an uncompleted part 2 with 29 chapters (97,437 words.) last updated in 2016.

Warning: Vulgar jokes, Swearing, Depressing Backstories, Slowburn, Zombies,

Rating: Gen

Ships: Thranduil/Original Female Character

People mischaracterising cass as the most perfect most well behaved child ever is so funny to me like that’s literally Crashout Cain right there

anyway top 5 Cassandra Cain Crash outs (in no particular order, also may not be top 5 just the ones I can think of rn and they’re all from batgirl 2000)

when she saw someone shoot and kill one of his own guys and got so mad at him she stopped his heart so he would know what it felt like to die

When she woke up in the ambulance after getting the shit beat out of her by lady shiva and jumped out of the moving ambulance, crashed into a police car then went to go fight shiva again with like 4x the amount of injuries she had the first time (all while shirtless btw because her shirt got shredded when she threw herself at the police car)

When Steph died and she spent the entire rest of her run crashing out every 5 seconds (I can’t give all the examples rn but it’s basically just all the batgirl 2000 comics after no mans land)

when she got kicked into a barrel of illegal drugs then proceeded to hallucinate her friends and family saying mean things to her and also the devil and angel on her shoulders fighting, the devil one then she crashed out and beat up all the drug gang members then when nightwing showed up she kicked him through a window

when she decided that she had to fight the joker to prove herself as batgirl so broke him out of prison and when she couldn’t read his body language she called him boring then beat the shit out of him when he dropped his guard

There are way more than this btw, everyone in the batfam is a certified crash out but Cass isn’t recognised as much as she should be and that should be changed. Crashout Cain 2025 everyone!!

Anyway hope we get some epic new crash outs in batgirl 2024!!
