Help a Family in Need

I am reaching out on behalf of my dear friend, Mohamad S., who is facing one of the most challenging times of his life. Mohamad is 37 years old and left his homeland in 2015 in search of a safer and better future. He’s a kind, hardworking man, and his small family has always been his greatest priority.

Living abroad, Mohamad has recently endured unimaginable loss and financial strain. Amidst the ongoing conflict in his homeland, his mother passed away, leaving behind his sister and her five young children—the last remaining members of his immediate family.

As the situation worsened, Mohamad managed to help his sister and her children escape to safety in Egypt, covering their immediate needs and securing a temporary refuge for them. Since then, he has been fully responsible for providing everything they need to survive during this transition.

In his efforts to support his family and cope with this devastating loss, Mohamad has found himself deeply in debt. To make matters even more difficult, he recently underwent knee surgery, which limits his ability to return to work for the foreseeable future. This has made it even harder for him to manage his financial responsibilities and the pressing need to provide his family with a stable future.

Mohamad is now working to bring his sister and her five children to join him in Belgium, where he hopes they can find stability and opportunity after all they’ve endured. This transition, however, requires significant resources that he is currently unable to meet alone.

For privacy reasons, we are not sharing Mohamad’s full name, as he has chosen to keep his identity discreet. While he initially refused the idea of asking for help, I couldn’t stand by and watch him struggle alone. I insisted on doing this for him because he deserves a chance to overcome these challenges.

Your contribution will help Mohamad repay the debt incurred during this difficult time, cover ongoing living expenses for his family, and assist with the costs involved in bringing them safely to Belgium.

Mohamad has been a good friend of mine for years, and I’ve always admired his resilience and generosity. Any support, no matter the size, will make an incredible difference in helping Mohamad and his family rebuild their lives after these painful experiences.

Thank you for reading his story and considering helping a man who has always done everything he can for his loved ones.

Adam

About a week ago I posted this.

I’ve been getting horrible messages like this in my ask for months, including:

and my personal favorite

After getting the message saying “Just go kill yourself” I was completely done dealing with this person’s horrible messages and replied with just an “Okay.” and logged off tumblr.

About a week later I logged back on with 17 messages in my ask, most of them from the anon. I scrolled down and at first when I logged off, the anon messaged me things like

I scrolled up more and all of a sudden they started sending me more and more messages like

This was extremely surprising to me. I thought “After all those horrible messages you sent to me for MONTHS about hating me and wanting me dead, you say ‘sorry’ and that you ‘cant be responsible for someone’s suicide’?”

But I guess the lesson goes like this:

DONT TELL ANYONE TO KILL THEMSELVES UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED FOR WHAT MIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPEN

DON’T TELL ANYONE TO KILL THEMSELVES EVER.

THIS POST IS SO IMPORTANT I WANT EVERYONE ON TUMBLR IN THE WORLD TO SEE IT

This needs to be reblogged. I couldn’t scroll past this if I tried, I got a message like that but not for me, it told me to my friend to kill them self, I was livid! I didn’t answer it because a message like that doesn’t deserve an answer but I don’t see what is so funny about telling someone to kill them selves! I really don’t! It’s sick and it’s wrong. This person though, I take my hat off to you. You taught that bully a lesson.

this.

This will always be number one on the list of things that aren’t okay

Ho-ly shit.

I’ll never not reblog this

If you dare scroll without reblogging this you have no soul…….. i mean you do but reblogging this wont ruin your blog……. please just spread the word.

Please people don’t send anon hate your just hurting yourselves…

Don’t tell anyone to kill themselves. EVER.

A PSA we shouldn’t need, but we do…because some people are fucking horrible

REBLOGGED.

How the fuck is the anon gonna do a complete U turn when they find out ‘oh shit they might actually kill themselves’ every action has consequences, good or bad, some people never learned this and it really fucking shows.

I get it a lot actually. I just don’t tell anyone anymore because I’m afraid they’ll jump on the band wagon and do it too. It’s happened before.

THIS

DON’T YOU EVER FUCKING TELL SOMEONE TO KILL THEMSELVES

How about this: Stop being a coward and don’t use anonymous! And obviously, why on Earth would you tell someone to go kill themselves?! That Anon is a absolute S.O.B !!

That was good lesson.

luckily this never happened to me but still smrhn worth sharing. some people just rlly,,, dont rhink of consequences as often as they should.

Don’t listen to those cowards. You are loved and worth much more than they can ever comprehend. Those guys are just scum who can’t deal with their own insecurities, so they take it out on others

How can someone be so disgusting, just ignore that coward that doesn’t have the courage to even show themselfs. DONT JOKE WITH SUICIDE DONT TELL ANYONE THAT THEY SHOULD BE DEAD IT’S NOT FUNNY AT ALL.

The blogs you talk to are real people. A human life is not something to laugh at.

I’m pinning this. I’d do it on my main but I kinda have an intro post there. I will edit it and link this there though

i may be evil but not this evil

aaaand this is basically how my friend (whos 2 years younger than me) became my therapist :D

This is a quick break from the usual questions. This is so fucked beyond imagination. This is coming from someone who is still mourning their cousin after they committed suicide. This is why I kinda wish Tumblr would get rid of the anon setting so we didn’t have to deal with human garbage like this. If this user had gone and killed themself, the charges wouldn’t be just a slap on the wrist. Cyberbullying is a serious crime. I don’t wish any harm to anyone, but I personally hope this anon eats a vertical chip, has both sides of the pillow warm, and stubs their toe when they get up in the night to go pee.

Don't forget that words have power, if you can't bear the consequences that come from them choose silence.

Loose threads and various trivia from the Poppy War series that I can't stop thinking about

I'm writing this because I have very little time to write at the moment so I won't be able to fit all these elements into the Poppy War fic I'm writing but I still have to get it out of the system because the amount of detail is insane.

Ancient Chinese medicine in general is full of hallucinogenic and poisonous plants that were dosed very carefully, but shamans used them to talk to the gods, and the most common ones were:

I will only talk about Speerly and Hinterlanders otherwise I will never stop writing.

I know Chaghan has already explained this, but many seem to forget about it, while I who had read Poppy War because I was in abstinence of Wuxia like MoDaoZuShi started shouting IS A FUKING Yao! and suddenly Nezha's whole speech about how it's not like Rin suddenly makes sense. Because Yao are often confused with Magical Beasts or Gods but Yao is a broad term for any animal, plant or even inanimate object that has gained spiritual awareness and magical powers. In this case, as Chaghan explained, an animal has absorbed the power of the Caves (if we want to speak in terms of theology or even Wuxia it would be Qi or even Mana if you prefer) which are one of those places where the veil between the two worlds thins and supposedly filled with the power of the real Rain Dragon and has become the 'Dragon'. But he is not a god because, as has already been said in the trilogy, true gods do not have material bodies. This can be confirmed in the story Vaisra tells Nezha about the shaman Yu who suggests that he has turned into the Dragon when in fact he may have been eaten and absorbed into the 'collection' of the Yao because in The Nine Curves River, a story by Kuang in the collection The Books of Dragons, she suggests the Yao existed before Yu's time because she makes no mention of Yu's legend but instead it is a fisherman who becomes the dragon in one of the versions.

The story of the Cave Dragon that Vaisra tells Nezha is inspired by the story of the legendary King Yu, founder of the Xia Dynasty who, according to the story, controlled the flooding of the Yellow River thanks to a Yinglong a very powerful water dragon that had lost its wings to kill a drought demon. This dragon is also related to the eels, through a connection that I honestly didn't understand, at least as Wikipedia explained it, and it relates back to how Rin sees him when he attacks the cave, because at least to me he reminds me of a giant eel.

Okay I know, it sounds absurd, now I'll explain. Also in The Nine Curves River it is understood that it is set before the reign of the Red Emperor (the monks still operate) and the people of Arlong sacrifice the most beautiful people they can find in times of severe drought. Now there is no reference to anything like this in the era in which Poppy War is set but something may have changed when Yu was the one bound to the Yao in Dragon form, because in the story it is referred to that Yu would not allow anyone else to suffer, and in The Nine Curves River the Yao can cause an abnormal and prolonged drought until the sacrifice has been made but not in the times we are shown. So Yu did something that kept the Yao at bay for over a thousand years after his death or the Yin family sacrifice their children in secret. I have this theory that the Yin took it upon themselves to nurture what they thought was a God for the sake of their people after all forms of worship had been banned and, since in The Nine Curves River it is specified that the sacrificed people must go there voluntarily (perhaps a limitation imposed by the fact that even real gods cannot invade the minds of shamans unless the latter want them to and so a Yao who feeds on their power cannot go out and eat whoever they want whenever they want) the Yin Lords of the past would have piqued the curiosity of the sacrificable children to make them go to the Grotto voluntarily and the Yao would accept them as offerings and prevent the drought. So Vaisra knew that one of his sons would be eaten? Hell yes. Or at least he hoped that Yu's legend had some truth to it (knowing Riga) and that he would end up with at least one son turned into a Dragon to use for his revolution. As they say, be careful what you wish for.

Of course the whole theory above is dismantled when Nezha tells Yao that he was so hungry that he hadn't even thought of keeping Mingzha for himself and had devoured him straight away and that Nezha would go with him, presumably to do what Yu did (perhaps he had intuited something that is not told) to keep him at bay for so long. But hunger may not have been Yao's only reason for choosing to eat the child. Mingzha is presented to us with gold bracelets and anklets that are good luck charms for children, and so far nothing strange apart from the potential to be a heartbreak parallel for Nezha's handcuffs. But in The Nine Curves River the author implies that all Dragon sacrifices are marked with gold bracelets and anklets, so when the Yao chose Mingzha it was because he thought he was a sacrifice to be devoured.

Me with a really crazy theory? More likely than you think.

So from what I understand even though it's not specified, the Yao doesn't eat all his sacrifices otherwise people like Yu and Nezha and the Fisherman wouldn't exist, even in legend. Maybe he plays with his food or maybe he has to give a fraction of his power in return, unfortunately we don't have enough elements to determine this but in Yu's legend there is a reference to the fact that the Dragon Province had become unlivable due to the currents and climate towards the end of the Red Emperor's reign, giving us a very specific time window in which to place the tale, which is strange in itself, but also makes a heavy implication (at least to me) that it was the Emperor's presence that made Arlong prosperous and, towards the end of his life, the work of his 'sacrifice' tapered off until Yu took his place.

Now, why do I think the Red Emperor was a Yin? Because Kuang loves to make us suffer and since Rin is Tearza's descendant it would make sense for Nezha to be a descendant of the Red Emperor but also for a few other reasons: Kitay says that the aunts and cousins of the Yin Clan were chosen as concubines of the Emperors and if the intrigue of the Harem didn't go out of fashion it wasn't just because of their beauty, women related to Kings and Emperors were a useful chess piece in political machinations. The coat of arms of House Yin is a dragon and speaking of historical reality the only ones who could wear the dragon on their robes or as a family crest were the Emperors and his family. Reference is made to the fact that there were no survivors of his lineage almost too insistently, just as there is no reference to Tearza's lineage until she calls Rin my blood. The Yin have the Imperial Seal that was thought to be lost. I'm pretty sure the Red Emperor is historically the equivalent of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, whose birth name was Ying Zheng and well . . . I know the Ying character and the Yin character are different but they sound similar and from a plot point of view the Red Emperor's remaining descendants could have hidden themselves by changing surnames but still one that had a resemblance to the one of origin or a side branch of the family, the possibilities are many. Lastly, he might be right about the Yin feeding their children to the Yao in Dragon form.

As for Yu, I think he was another yin descendant because, at least in the Italian version, Nezha seems to know that Yu is his ancestor.

That's all for now, at least until I find the rest of my notes. If any of this inspires you to write something I would love to have a little credit, even a small one, and oh. . .I definitely want to read it, or if you want to go in the rabbit hole with me don't be shy

Grazie @ayowotsdis e tutti coloro che mi hanno portato a 5 reblog!

The only place full of pepole i really like

This was fun. I might continue this later. Idk I am really shaky on writing Damian and Jon I think. Anyways, enjoy! @korallion

“Why must I do this again?” Damian groaned as Jason prepared the warp pad. Dick and Tim were preparing their supplies.

“You are Batman now,” Dick explained, “You need to meet the league.”

“I know the league,” Damian stated bluntly.

“This isn’t dad’s Justice League,” Jason replied, “Stop bitching, Batman doesn’t complain.”

Tim laughed softly, “I guess he does now.”

“Silence, Drake,” Damian glared, “Father has a full description of every member of the league, pleasantries are unneeded.”

“Dami, please,” Dick said as he finished getting dress, “This is what Bruce wants.”

Damian scowled, “Fine, are we ready to go?”

“The pad is calibrated,” Jason informed them stepping back from the computer. He grabbed his helmet and secured it on his head.

“We’re ready,” Dick said. Tim nodded in agreement.

“It shouldn’t be a long meeting,” Tim noted, “Steph, Cass, Harper and Duke are on patrol.”

Damian sighed, “Very well, let us go.”

Dick smiled and slapped Damian on the back. This was the first time Damian was taking on the role of the Bat. It made sense, considering he was the youngest at 21. However, his older brothers still worried about the impact of the title on him. He wished they would stop babying him. He is an adult and unlike the others he had no outside family to hold him back. He just had his immediate family and his pets. Which was honestly fine by Damian, he didn’t see the point in having children or a significant other. That’s why he insisted on taking on his current role when his father had decided it was time to step down. He was best fit for the bat.

Damian watched as each of his brothers stepped onto the warp pad and vanished. Finally, it was Damian’s turn. He pushed back his shoulder and stood tall as he stepped through the portal. In seconds Damian reappeared on the landing pad aboard the Watchtower.  Dick, Jason, and Tim were waiting for him. He checked himself over quickly and nodded to the others. His brothers stepped aside and let him lead them to the meeting area.

“Welcome Batman, welcome Nightwing, Welcome Red Hood, Welcome Red Robin,” The doors greeted as they stepped through. Adam was grateful his title had been successfully updated.

“Welcome all, thank you for joining us,” Wonder Woman addressed the group, “I hope your travel was painless.”

“Thank you,” Dick smiled. He was the most personable out of them, so he usually took the lead in conversations.

“Of course,” She gestured for them to table, “Are introductions needed?”

“No, I am well aware of who everyone is,” Damian gruffed, “We should start the meeting.”

“Well, we are waiting on one more person,” Diana noted, “Superman ran into some aliens I am afraid.”

“I hope we aren’t waiting long then,” Damian scowled taking a seat at the front of the table.

“No, he is on his way now,” Diana replied. As if on cue there was the sound of the transportation pod and shortly after the door whooshed open.

“Welcome Superman,” The computer greeted.

“Sorry, I’m late,” Jon apologized, “Have you been waiting long.”

“No, we- “Dick started.

“Tardiness is sloppy,” Damian cut in.

Jon rose a brow, “I will tell the aliens I have plans next time.”

“TT,” Damian replied.

“Welcome Superman, we have a new member joining us today,” Diana explained, “Batman.”

Damian stood and moved to stand in front of Jon.

“Batman?” Jon said looking him over, “I thought you’d be taller.”

Damian glared under his cowl. Who the hell did this guy think he was?

“Superman?” Damian questioned, “For a man of steel, you seem to lack any muscle mass.”

Jon’s expression changed to one of annoyance. “I am plenty powerful.”

“Power is nothing without intelligence.” Damian replied swiftly.

“We should sit,” Dick interrupted, “Start the meeting.”

Damian glared but nodded taking his seat, “Let’s get this over with, Gotham needs me.”

Jon rolled his eyes. This guy almost made him regret accepting the Superman title. Almost.

Grazie mille a @mstrickster for this pice of art! I Love it!

I read somewhere that its common in Arab culture to refer to someone close to you as your organs, implying you can’t live without them. Like how in english someone would say “my heart” (qalbi), in Arabic someone would also use “my liver” (kabidi) “my lungs” (riati). Notably, “my blood” is “Dami” which is funny bc it’s Damian’s shortened nickname.

Damian’s brothers have been using the nickname for years with or without knowing. I propose that as Damian gets closer to them, and Tim in particular, he responds in kind.

He starts to refer to Tim as “tuhali.”

…it means “my spleen.”

(Edit: this has now been confirmed by several Arabic speakers! Except the pronunciation of Dami (as in my blood) and Dami (shortened) are different which is sad. But my spleen idea works! So I’m happy!)
