Dear Supporter,

It's with a heavy but hopeful heart that I watch Palestinian families fundraiser on here, slowly accumulating the precious little money to go around that they need to survive. However, not everyone is so lucky. A lot of Palestinians that have not had that kind of luck, that did not get early verification, that did not get massive platforms behind them from large bloggers, have approached me in my inbox, asking me kindly to do what I can for them. It kills me that I have so little to give myself, but I've seen this platform collectively raise enough to change someone's life. I've made a list of Palestinian fundraisers that are extremely low on funds, in the hope that drawing attention to people who have not been lucky at all can help turn that luck around. I know most of us can't possibly give enough to get all of these families safe in one go. But please, reblog this list. Pick one or two fundraisers, give what you can, and then keep track of it. Slowly, collectively, we can make a difference in these people's lives. Share and donate as much as you can. https://docs.google.com/document/d/178EGDFKkHlh3y4TMVX82kqgITHsqtoMdNccI2f_94Os/edit?usp=sharing

Important PSA

(Important PSA)

If you get asks claiming to be “technical support staff” asking you to click a link to verify your e-mail because they need your banking credentials or get DMs from similar accounts asking you they need your e-mail address for verification reasons and want your name..

That is a phishing scam impersonating tumblr staff and you should not be posting the asks with a live link in it or trusting the DMs and sending your information! This is an extremely old kind of scam that has began resurfacing and you need to take internet safety into consideration.

It is safer to take a simple screenshot of the ask so the link won’t be spread and lead to a mass hack of users who fell for the attempt. You can warn people without putting their account in danger because some people don’t care what you say and will go to the link anyway.

Please be careful.

10 Non-Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing

While lethal injuries often take center stage, non-lethal injuries can create lasting effects on characters, shaping their journeys in unique ways. If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain during a scene, here are some ideas: 

Sprained Ankle

A common injury that can severely limit mobility, forcing characters to adapt their plans and experience frustration as they navigate their environment.

Rib Contusion

A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult and create tension, especially during action scenes, where every breath becomes a reminder of vulnerability.

Concussion

This brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment and creating a sense of unpredictability in their actions.

Fractured Finger

A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills, causing frustration and emphasizing a character’s dependence on their hands.

Road Rash

The raw, painful skin resulting from a fall can symbolize struggle and endurance, highlighting a character's resilience in the face of physical hardship.

Shoulder Dislocation

This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation.

Deep Laceration

A cut that requires stitches can evoke visceral imagery and tension, especially if the character has to navigate their surroundings while in pain.

Burns

Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma, serving as a physical reminder of a character’s past mistakes or battles.

Pulled Muscle

This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, providing an opportunity for characters to experience frustration or the need to lean on others for support.

Tendonitis

Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted, highlighting their struggle to adapt and overcome.

good traits gone bad explained

good traits gone bad - Part III

Ambitiousness - While ambitiousness is generally seen as a positive trait, driving individuals towards achieving their goals and aspirations, there can be a downside if it becomes excessive. An ambitious character can come across as ruthless.

Optimism - Optimism can lead to increased happiness and resilience, but not if it becomes unrealistic. Excessive optimism can lead individuals to underestimate potential risks or challenges, which can result in poor decision-making.

Diligence - Constantly working diligently without proper breaks can lead to burn out. Diligence can also mean that the person is not able to bend strict rules, but rather makes sure to follow them. It can make them resistance to change.

Ngl I hate Boa Hancock. I get that she has a traumatic past but that does not excuse her for being one of the worst women in the show.

"Everyone will always forgive me because I'm beautiful!"

Shut. Up. No one cares! Yes, you are objectively beautiful but your personality is shit. She literally doesn't care about anyone but herself and maybe her two sisters. I don't count Luffy because he was SEVENTEEN when they met and she "fell in love with him". Fyi Hancock was 29 when they met. Yeah, proclaim your undying love for a MINOR, that makes sense. So, not only is she incredibly selfish and self-centered, she's in love with a minor. That's not creepy at all.

Hello, I apologize for the inconvenience. I hope you forgive me for my intrusion. I did not mean to do that. I just wanted to ask you if you can help me I am from Gaza a mother of four children I just need support for the children please be part of their journey to reach Please come back to safety We are now in a real famine, this is what made me break my silence and send this message. Please forgive me.Just remember that maybe ten dollars could save one of my children. 🙏🙏🙏🫂😭

SANJI HEADCANONS!

—HOW HE LOVES;;

- all for nothing;; sanji doesn’t do half-measures. If he loves you, he loves you w/ everything he has. He will drop everything to make sure you are happy, sometimes at the cost of his own well-being.

- romance is second nature to him;; Not in a fake, performative way. He just genuinely enjoys making you feel adored. Expect small gestures such as a cup of tea made just how you like it, a flower tucked behind your ear, a hand on your waist when no one’s watching .. etc

- Food is His Love Language;; He will learn your cravings before you even realize you have them. Stressing out? Here’s your favorite dish. Had a long day? He’s already making something warm and comforting. Nothing says “I love you” like a perfectly plated meal with your name written in sauce.

- Always Touching You;; Nothing overbearing, just little things, fingers brushing yours when he hands you a plate, a hand at the small of your back, adjusting your collar because “Tch, you can’t just walk around looking like that.” It’s his way of staying connected.

-Sanji is the embodiment of a walking romance novel at first;; Expect dramatic gestures—roses, candlelit dinners (even if it’s just on the Sunny), and calling you every pet name under the sun (mon amour, darling, my love—it never stops).

- His flirting is still constant, but he gets flustered when you flirt back;; If you casually say something like, “You’re handsome, you know that?” this man will short-circuit. Starts stammering, suddenly can’t make eye contact he was NOT prepared.

—DATING SANJI MEANS..

Late-Night Conversations in the Kitchen;; When the ship is quiet, you’ll find him there, brewing tea or making something light. If you’re up too, he’ll pull out a chair, pour you a drink, and just talk. Those moments feel intimate—just you, him, and the soft glow of the kitchen dim lights.

Being Taken Care of (Even If You Don’t Ask);; Cold? He’s draping his jacket over your shoulders. Feeling sick? He’s already making soup. Had a rough day? His fingers are in your hair, massaging your scalp as he hums quietly.

Dealing with His Stubbornness – He will absolutely not admit when he needs help. You’ll have to learn how to trick him into resting. Maybe you tell him you “just want company” so he’ll sit down next to you. Maybe you grab his wrist before he can light another cigarette and just hold it until he sighs and relents. He won’t say it, but he appreciates it more than he can put into words.

- Watching Him Go from Sweet to Deadly in Seconds;; You know he’s the most charming, caring person, but the moment someone disrespects you? That’s gone. His voice gets low, his smile sharp, and the guy who was just flirting w/ you suddenly finds himself face down on the floor.

—HIS FLAWS;;

- Bottles up emotions;; Acts fine until he explodes—either sharp words or total isolation.

- Stubborn as hell;; Will die on a hill even when he’s wrong.

- Self-destructive;; Would rather suffer alone than let others get hurt (Whole Cake Island, anyone?).

- Overthinks everything;; Acts smooth, but internally spiraling (“Did I sound dumb? Are they mad?”).

- Jealous but won’t admit it;; Plays it cool until someone flirts with you—then suddenly all touchy.

First time making these, it’s just some thoughts… lmk if you want anyone else too!!! :D
