"I have returned to the UNRWA shelter, but it is set to be emptied on February 10, 2025. Sadly, I have nowhere else to go in Gaza. Urgently, I need to raise $5,000 to build a safe room for my children, as we will have no place to go in just a few days. Your support can provide them with the security they deserve."

The Day Our Lives Shattered

I remember the day vividly—explosions began in the distance, growing into a deafening roar. Smoke and fear engulfed us as we watched our neighbors flee in terror. We grabbed our children and ran, pushing through a sea of panic until we could run no more

The Day Our Lives Shattered

We once lived a simple and peaceful life, with my children learning and thriving. Now, we are left with nothing in a UNRWA shelter, lacking all basic necessities.

Your support and contribution can make a real difference and change our reality for the better. 🙏

After the release of the mini series, I've started to slip back into my dormant Zootopia hyperfixation, and boy let me tell you, it's one of THE HARDEST fandoms to find content that interests me.

Why?

Because 97% of it is just Judy Hopps/Nick Wilde shipping. All of it. Fanart, fanfics, it's just the shipping.

What drew me to Zootopia was the worldbuilding aspect and the animals who live in that world. Just... this entire city filled with so many different species that was architecturally designed to fit ALL OF THEM no matter what climate they're from or size they are. That just fascinated me!

Yet all the fanfics don't really explore all that. I can count the number of fanfics I've read about regular people on one hand. There's the one about the therapy sessions for the animals who got affected by the Savage Predator crisis, the one about the tiger and the rabbit single mom who had several chance encounters and became friends, and........ actually, that's it.

I dunno, I guess I'd rather read about a mouse being roommates with an elephant or something, how would that work? What are their lives like? Or maybe I just want to read something about the struggles of the leopard who runs a small cosy coffee shop having to compete with the Snarlbucks across the street (yes, that is the canon name for Starbucks in the Zootopia universe. That's another part of the worldbuilding I like, all the brands have animal pun names and I find it unreasonably hilarious) Or maybe an animal moving to one of the districts that is NOT a climate they can comfortably live in and having to make do with it, all because they put the needs of their best friend (aka an animal that does live in the climate they moved into) above their own.

Just simple slice of life stuff.

I have this entire slice of life fanfic idea in my brain that I'll probably never get around to writing that has pretty much zero canon characters in it at all. It has an entire cast of OCs just because I liked daydreaming about how the regular citizens of Zootopia of all shapes and sizes live their lives.

Starting to really like the idea of Transformers not understanding a lot of their own technology

And thus only know how to reproduce it but not fully the underlying principles

Not to the extent of Bumblebees voicebox being unreplaceable[ there should be workarounds, dang it.]

But some of their weapons and such.

Because in various revolutions of their history, some deposed rulers are gonna nuke the libraries or such out of spite on their way out.

The idea of them not knowing what sparks are could be funny way to go back to pre-Beastwars takes. They just know that if theres this weird thing in the lasercore that means its working.

The Fall of X, or the legacy of Krakoa

Hellfire Gala 2023, Phil Noto Krakoa has been a fascinating thing to watch play out. I got into comics proper shortly after the new mutant n

We will kill the most diverse X-Men team this era has ever seen, but don’t worry, self-described genetic absolutist White Queen will avenge their deaths. The character whose first scene in this project was announcing her intention to act as the capitalist colonial arm of the mutant nation is never criticised or analysed properly for this, and in fact is rewarded with being the revolutionary leader, organising what needs to be done in the fight against the terrorist Orchis. We will show any critics of Krakoa to be nothing more than racist Nazi scum who die horrifying and darkly comedic deaths, to canonise our great and beautiful paradise ethnostate as the dream we all shared, that was ripped apart from us by jealous fools. Both powerful enough to pull off that feat, but not powerful enough to stop Kitty-now-Kate Pryde from going through a goddamn door. Simultaneously strong enough to defeat mutantkind at their strongest and proudest, and weak enough that they grovel for forgiveness the moment they’re defeated. These depictions are not unique to superhero comics–but ethnostates are. Using these tricks when you’re writing an era that’s opening moment sets up the direct comparison to Israel is, bluntly, disgusting, and shameful. It is disgusting if it is intentional, and it is still disgusting if it is accidental. The promise of an interesting story with a harrowing fallout is gone, and all that remains are the lies of fascists put in the mouths of characters whose revenge we are supposed to root for.

Wrote an essay discussing my feelings on the fallout and legacy of Krakoa. I also have a substack ver if wordpress doesn't work for everyone.

Sorry, didn't know about that, I always viewed the Jewish people getting Israel back as the opposite of what happened to Native Americans, they finally got their native land back that they were forced out of, and fought to keep it, it kind of inspired me in high school, after learning the travesties committed against Native Americans, that times had possibly changed. Glad to know the truth though.

it’s okay, tumblr is kind of terrible.

yeahhhh a lot of pro-israel people like to spin the tale like that, that they’re people fighting to get their land back. but it’s much more accurate the other way around; palestinian people are an indigenous group fighting to keep foreigners from stealing their land. they’re the ones who were just on their land chilling when a group comes in and invades.

also, it’s better to refer to the people behind israel as zionists, as not all jewish people support it. in fact, large parts of the israeli government actually support things that go against jewish interests. one example is netanyahu celebrating trump’s election as meaning an end to palestine, despite the number of neo-nazis he’s appointed to office.

Donate to Please help us get out of life's crises and the woes of war., organized by Etaf Alqattaa

Hello, I am E'taf Al-Qataa,I'm from Gaza, Im34 years old ,… Etaf Alqattaa needs your support for Please help us get out of life's crises

26% goal raised.

"Hello, I am E'taf Al-Qataa,I'm from Gaza, Im34 years old ,I am a wife and a mother of five children. and I am communicating with you with a heavy heart and on behalf of my family, consisting of seven members, including 5 children. We were trapped in the devastating situation in Gaza. We were urgently seeking evacuation to Egypt after enduring more than 200 days of displacement and hardship. I seek to help them urgently and provide them with the minimum requirements. The occupation demolished our beautiful home and took my husband’s job and his car. I was displaced and was able to escape the scourge of war to Egypt, after fleeing to Deir al-Balah in Gaza and tasting the bitterness of displacement and losing a lot. Today, I find myself in a situation I never expected. The conflict in Gaza has left my family in desperate need of help. And here I did not find any money for the family’s expenses after the occupation managed to take away everything we had and we went back a lot. This war took our livelihoods and our factories, and we are struggling to survive."

I hope our humanity will unite, and we will come together to help them navigate this tragedy and help them rebuild their lives. Thank you for being so kind.

a redemption arc is not a sacrifice.

a redemption arc is not some grand act of selflessness.

a redemption arc is not meaningless pain and suffering.

a redemption arc is simply facing the consequences of your actions, fixing your mistakes and doing better, regardless of whether you will be forgiven or accepted. that's it.

Hot take: Actual literary analysis requires at least as much skill as writing itself, with less obvious measures of whether or not you’re shit at it, and nobody is allowed to do any more god damn litcrit until they learn what the terms “show, don’t tell” and “pacing” mean.
