I was today years old when I found out Chuuya's hair is called lovelock style. Apparently it was worn by European men in the late 16th to early 17th century. It was worn to symbolise deep devotion for a loved one...take that how you will.
It was also seen as an effeminate hair style. Also Verlaine wears it the same way so again...take that how you will.
I'm Anas Basil, a recent high school graduate with dreams of pursuing a degree in e-business management and building a career. However, due to my family's financial hardships, I enrolled at Khan Younis Training College (KYTC), affiliated with UNRWA. Sadly, the war has turned the college, once a beacon of hope and education, into a shelter for displaced families, stripping it of its educational purpose.
I completed high school with a 93% average, filled with excitement about continuing my education and securing a job to support my family. But like so many others, the war has shattered those dreams.
My younger brother, Ahmad, is 14 years old and currently in the third grade of preparatory school. We’ve always called him "Doctor of the Future" because of his intelligence and natural talent in mathematics. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing war, he has been deprived of schooling for the second consecutive year. In addition to his academic abilities, Ahmad has a passion for football and used to win tournaments.
Our Life in Displacement: The war forced our family to flee to Rafah, where we lived in a tent for several months. Each day, my brother and I would wake up to fetch water, gather wood, and light a fire to prepare food. Survival became our daily task, but we never gave up hope. The conflict affected us deeply, but it did not extinguish our dreams of education and a better future.
We are seeking €29,000 to help Ahmed and me leave Gaza, continue our education. More importantly, it will allow us to support our family, who have been deeply affected by the harsh conditions and skyrocketing costs of living due to the ongoing war in Gaza.
Your contribution will not only help us escape the war-torn reality we live in but also give us the opportunity to rebuild our futures.
Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us one step closer to our goal.
With deepest gratitude, Anas & Ahmed
Update!
My family is still staying in half of the church that wasn’t affected by the bombing because there is nowhere else to stay other than tents. They are limited to one small meal a day and one shower a week. They are sleeping on the floors, but no one can sleep since there is bombing everywhere around them. Even when there is no bombing, they can still hear the loud buzzing sound of the military planes above them, which would keep anyone who hears it awake. Along with everything, My grandma has diabetes and osteoporosis, so she can’t walk. She has to take her insulin medication along with many others; however, she has run out of many of her medications.” Am on my knees requesting for donation. Target $450
donate if you are able to please

Surprise! This will henceforth be a soup-posting blog, where I post about nothing but soup! What ingredients taste best together, how to chop carrots, how to very chaotically add spices, how to not to get caught while making secret soup, how to avoid people reading too much into your secret soup-making, and all those normal soup things! :D
(…I am 100% kidding, just to be clear. Happy April Fools everybody!)
I love seeing pictures of white tigers cause my brain is automatically like “oh yeah that’s my favorite au, sskk squared”
Like look at this! It’s Acchan getting in trouble and being carted away by Atsushi. He has committed many crimes
Hi. I exist. I don't like existing. Take me back to no bone, no body, just spirit phase. I don't want this body anymore. It's the only one I've got but I still don't want it. Who wants to trade?
