Dear friends around the world,
Greetings to you from Gaza, the land of peace and love.
Please take a moment to read my story.
I am ashamed Al-Dahdouh. I currently live in the completely destroyed city of Gaza. Since the war on Gaza began on 7/1/2024, my family—my father Nasif, my mother Asmaa, and my siblings Khaled, Ahmad, Muhammad, and Malak—have been living in constant fear, crying, and suffering due to shrapnel, shells, and bullets.
We have no food, no electricity, no cooking gas, no schools, no homes, no cleaning supplies, and no clothes. My school has been bombed, and my brother Khaled's university is now rubble, depriving us all of education. The war has forced us to live in displacement centers, which are just tents unsuitable for living, especially in winter.
Every day we live death, terror, and panic a thousand times because of the ongoing bombardment of my city. The war has killed more than 50 of my relatives and neighbors. At the start of the war, we sought refuge at my aunt's house, but it too became rubble. Imagine: we have survived imminent death more than 20 times and have been displaced among shelters more than 13 times. My siblings and I have suffered from many illnesses due to malnutrition, and we need medication continuously.
If we stay in Gaza, we might lose our lives. Recently, we have been seriously considering leaving Gaza for a safe place. However, travel costs are extremely high. We need over $50,000 to leave Gaza. Due to exorbitant prices, rampant unemployment, lack of security, the ongoing siege, and relentless bombardment, we have lost all our money. How can we live in such insecurity, with constant shelling and shrapnel flying above us? Dear compassionate friends around the world,
With your generous donations, even if small, you can save 7 people from imminent death, allowing us to start a life outside Gaza filled with love, peace, and hope.
With my warmest regards from the city of Gaza,
I've only translated the part at the end about bravern. I might go back and translate the other parts later but right now I'm in Japan on a study abroad I don't have much time.
Spoilers for most of Bravern!
Translation:
In the beginning he said, "let there be light(Isami)"
I was him and he was me. In the end, we became one and the same.
It's because Isami was there that this was able to happen. It's because Isami was there that the world was able to be saved. This is something I wrote in the instant while my life was flashing before my eyes when the death drive of wrath, Ira, hit me with a surprise attack and I began to lose consciousness.
I'm already not sure whether it was me or him that wrote it. However, our feelings towards Isami were one and the same.
That's why I(Bravern)...... I(Smith)...... wrote this for Isami.
I'll make you explode with bravery
Written by: Bravern, who has gone to the stars
When I first met you, you were crying, weren't you?
But because you're a strong person, even though you were confused, you still responded to my request.
When you shouted the name of the special attack...... it was because of your shout that I was able to fight.
And then when you asked "what's your name?" I answered.
I said, "My name is Bravern".......
The next time we met, you were scared.
Of course you were. I made you suspicious, was pestering you, and on top of that I was telling you to fight.
I don't think you could have ridden me even if you wanted to.
The way you kept me in suspense at that time was really charming.
But even still, you rode me once again.
And it's because of that I became sure.
I said, "Oh, Isami. You're my true soulmate"
After that, you stayed inside me all the time.
I thought I was so lucky.
But you were just brooding, weren't you.
You were shocked when you heard me say soulmate, weren't you? At that time I didn't try to understand your feelings at all.
But, but, you know, Isami,
I'm sure you will understand someday. How wonderful fighting together with our burning souls is.
Isami, seeing you get angry and showing your emotions so openly is beautiful, but there's no need to be angry.
Lulu will become a friend who fights with us.
Right now she might only be looking at him, but she'll see your appeal before long Isami.
Just as I was drawn to you, she'll be drawn to you as well. Though, it's understandable that you don't know that now.
So rage, rage. Show your emotions. There's no reason to keep your emotions all to yourself.
You've tried so hard, Isami. You've really freed your mind.
He, and everyone, are really pulling out your emotions.
I only played a small part in making that happen.
When you dove into the sea I was really surprised, but that sea breeze after you came to an understanding with everyone really felt good didn't it?
The large ship we were on board was heading toward the land of the rising sun at battle velocity.
Saving you was honestly really difficult.
There is a poem written by Shiki Masaoka as a gift to his friend headed into the navy.
"Even in war, don't shy away from anything. On your voyage, when the wind blows, blow, when the waves rise, rise."
――――Do your best, Isami
Isami, at that time I was really moved.
I was going into battle with you and him to save the land of the rising sun ―― there's nothing better than this.
The calls from your friends―― your fellow countrymen, were able to reach them.
Due to our brave actions, the uprising was a success.
The sunrise we watched with everyone at that time was beautiful.
And isn't it so―― so great, Isami?
Your comrades, who had the same feelings as you, were still alive.
You'll definitely be able to free the world. And just as you have been wishing, we won't let anyone else die.
Hoping for things is easy. Actually making them happen is difficult.
And you made it happen. It probably would have been impossible on your own. It was something you were able to do with him and your comrades at your back. You're amazing, Isami.
Also, thank you for caring about our new friend superbia.
Starting now, we're traveling thousands of miles to free the world.
Before that, you have to say a very painful farewell, but...... I'm sure you'll be able to overcome it.
Finally, the time had come.
At that time, just as you were fighting with your full strength, I was fighting at mine.
I couldn't make plans for it or prevent it.
If I had done that, I could probably have saved a life. But you know, Isami, I just couldn't do that.
If I did, I might not have been able to meet you. And we wouldn't have had the chance to save the world.
I hope you'll be able to understand that.
That he(smith) had to leave your side, while expressing such strong emotions at that time.
Isami——.
Isami——.
No matter how many times I shouted your name, it wouldn't reach you.
Honestly, at this time I was struck by a sense of unease.
The world beyond this point is a world I don't know. We have to go into it together. So please―― Isami. Hear my voice.
And then, you responded with bravery.
An explosion of bravery―― that's right, an explosion of bravery.
Just as he said at that time, his explosion of bravery was the one and only way to create a path forward for you and me.
Let's go, Isami. His bravery, his explosive feelings, will always be with us.
That's what brave explosion bang bravern is.
Isami, at that time, you were already a hero.
But there was something you didn't do quite right. Something that even I didn't realize. And then Lulu corrected you.
Perhaps his dying words resonated with her too.
That's right, you have to come back alive too.
Let's go, Isami. To the final battle.
Alongside sperbia and lulu――
Isami.
Since you're a strong person, I'm sure you'll be able to do well without me.
You're not just strong, you're also brave.
Sperbia and lulu will be with you. I'm sure you'll be able to save the world.
I'm sad I won't be able to go along with you, but please don't get depressed and move forward somehow.
Isami――Isami――...... I love you, Isami.
When I woke up, Isami―― you were glowing gold.
I thought I'd never see you again. But I was able to see you again.
Bravery fusion————
That was what you got on the other side of your explosion of bravery.
You became me. And I became you. And he (smith) also......
And the lulu (I can't believe she was a soldier from the future!), also fused with superbia and became our sword.
This is yours and his——our true form, bang brave big bang.
This is where my job comes to an end, but if you or him, or everyone else needs me, I'm sure I'll be able to come back. Surely. Surely——。
Let your bravery burn. That, that is what—— the explosion of bravery is——......
New York times square, EST 10:40 PM
In the city that had been rebuilt after the death drives had been defeated, screams of people and the sound of guns are once again ringing through the city.
At that moment, a light lit up the night sky.
And then he appeared.
There was a giant robot with emerald eyes and a red and white mechanical body with gold horns on top——
it was Bravern who had saved the world along with the ATF——.

I feel like it's almost impossible not to have Optimus and Megatron in a queer relationship as an end game in the aligned universe.
Exodus: Megatron fantasizing about having Orion as his close personal advisor for whom the crowds cheer his name as well as his own. The story realises it's making itself pretty gay and starts skipping through the relationship so there's less time to linger on it.
Exiles: tries using the word brother to make what you're reading slightly less gay. Still somehow has Megatron holding Optimus so closely they share a vision from the Matrix.
Retribution: Gives up entirely. Has Optimus saving Megatron numerous times, Megatron saying they'd make a great team, pressing his fingers to Optimus's lips (after taking in a corrupted copy of the matrix) to stop him from talking, and telling Optimus to save himself and give up on saving him.
Tfp: Orion pax. Enough said.
The covenant of Primus: has exerts from Optimus's diary where he says the matrix keeps repeating "Journeys end in lovers meeting." which is from a song called Carpe diem/O mistress mine; where are you roaming, in one of Shakespeare's plays (twelfth night). It means 'seize the day' but can also be along the lines of 'live life to the fullest' etc. Anyway, in context the song is about how two lovers only have here and now and is entreating his young lover to 'meet' him where all lovers end up.
The matrix is literally telling Optimus to get laid.
And not just once mind you, Optimus repeatedly uses this phrase. I am suffering please, Optimus, please. You do not know what that phrase means and putting it right in the middle of an account about how Megatron prevented Unicron from killing you via strength of will is super awkward.
The matrix ships megop. Canon.
truly at a loss for words. nesma @nesmamomen has been fundraising on this website since fucking march and is so tantalizingly close to her goal yet shes only bringing in $5-$10 every couple of hours or so. please take this burden off her shoulders after she has already lost everything
