22/23 for the ask meme?
22. Is there any OC of yours people tend to mischaracterize? If yes, how?
mmm not to my knowledge? i have thoughts on how people could mischaracterize my ocs, but thats just my imaginings. to be frank, my ocs are not popular enough to be widely mischaracterized and my friends generally understand them very well.
23. Introduce OC that has changed from your first idea concerning what the character would be like?
oh man. i could talk about pretty much any of my characters here. all of my stories go under drastic rewrites so they all end up radically changed in one way or another.
one of the most drastic is ashiri though, since shes a complete inversion of her original concept. back in 2016-2017, ash started off as a duo character with a friend: ash was a ghost haunting an apartment and the landlord was struggling to rent out the apartment because of him. the dynamic was based off a joke post online.
ash was the complete opposite to what she is now. the original ash ate literal trash, spoke loud and crudely, and was very transparent about everything he thought and felt. ash now has very particular tastes, speaks cryptically and prefers to let others talk, and no one actually knows what goes on inside his head.
ash is also no longer a ghost! hes more like a zombie now, but he never actually died. more in a symbolic sense since hes bound to keep working and trade out parts of his body. she also haunts a hotel now, not an apartment -- her presence tends to go unnoticed, but now he's beneficial to the building rather than an annoyance.

Should I put $10 towards food, or towards education and development in Gaza?
This is a real question, not just theory or philosophy… a question I face every day, and I found myself needing to answer it clearly.
Today in Gaza, people are hungry… but also, people are lost. There's a graduate sitting on rubble with no laptop to even work on. There's a university student studying by candlelight, without internet to continue their education. There's an engineer, who instead of building, is searching for a box of aid to feed his family.
Do you know what this means? It means the occupation doesn't want to kill us with bullets, it wants to kill us with ignorance, with helplessness, by turning us into just people waiting for a bag of flour, waiting for aid… and that's the biggest crime against us. Today we all in Gaza need a bite to eat… but tomorrow? Do I want to spend my whole life depending on others to live? This is the question that worries me the most!! Or should I be able to provide for myself and my family and rebuild my life from scratch?
That's why, instead of that $10 being a meal for one day, let it be an investment in a student who will emerge from under the rubble, will learn, and will be able to provide their own food forever.
Let it be a share of Esnad, not just so Gaza can live another day… but so that Gaza can rise, stand, and persevere forever.
Help us build a future for the coming days in Gaza. We at ISNAD Foundation provide free scholarships for students. Help us rebuild Gaza by building its students and empowering them to have a suitable learning environment.
