💬 Just a Small Update, and a Big Thank You

Dear friends, kind hearts, and everyone who has stood with us,

When I first opened my heart to the world and shared our story, I never imagined the amount of love and solidarity we would receive. Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve now reached $12,837—a milestone that brings real light to some very dark days.

From the deepest corners of my heart, thank you.

💔 A Journey of Loss, but Also of Strength

As many of you know, I’ve lost 25 of my loved ones during this devastating war. That grief lives with me every single day. It’s in the silence that once held laughter, in the empty spaces where we once gathered as a family.

But through your help, I’ve also felt something else: hope. And that hope is priceless.

“21/Oct/2023 Before It Reached Us: The Day Our Neighbor’s House Was Destroyed” A quiet moment of fear, filmed just before everything changed.

“22/Oct/2023 The Morning After: Our Family Home in Ruins” This is what was left behind after the bombing of our home.

🌿 What Life Looks Like for Us Now

Despite everything, we’re still here. Still surviving. Still hoping.

But things have only gotten harder.

The war has returned, more brutal than before—and for over a month now, Gaza has been completely sealed off. No food is coming in. No medical supplies. No aid. No trade. No one is allowed to leave, and no one is allowed to enter.

We’re trapped.

🏚 We live with the fear of tomorrow, every single day. Airstrikes, drones, and the uncertainty of what might happen next. 👨‍👩‍👧 Our family is forever changed—we haven’t just lost people; we’ve lost pieces of ourselves. 📉 Basic needs go unmet—even clean water feels like a luxury now. Medicines, if they exist at all, are unreachable.

And yet…

Your support reminds us that we’re not forgotten. It reminds us that someone, somewhere, is still listening. That someone still cares. That we’re not completely alone in this.

Every message. Every share. Every dollar. It tells us: You’re walking this road with us. And that gives us the strength to keep going.

💖 What You Can Do

If you’ve already donated—thank you beyond words. If you can share our story again, it could reach someone who can help.

Even $5 means warmth, comfort, and a chance to breathe a little easier.

✨ Why It All Matters

This isn’t just about reaching a fundraising goal. It’s about surviving war with dignity. It’s about believing in tomorrow. It’s about making sure my daughter grows up knowing that the world did not look away.

Thank you for your kindness, patience, and belief in our humanity. You’ve helped me find my voice—and I will use it to keep hope alive.

🙏 From the Heart: A Quiet Apology

There’s something I need to say—something that’s been on my heart for some time.

When I first began sharing our story, I didn’t know what the right way was. I was scared, grieving, and trying to protect my family in any way I could. I reached out to many people, hoping someone, anyone, would see us. In that process, I now realize I may have overstepped, and I might have made some feel overwhelmed.

If that happened, I am truly sorry.

Please believe me when I say it was never out of disregard or pushiness. It came from a place of fear—fear of being forgotten, fear of not being able to keep my family safe, fear of watching everything I love slip away in silence.

I’m learning as I go. I’ve slowed down. I’m more mindful now, trying to share our journey in a way that feels respectful of the space and hearts of those listening.

If my words ever came at the wrong time, or in the wrong way, I hope you can understand where they came from—and I hope you can forgive me.

Thank you for seeing past my mistakes. Thank you for still being here. It means more than I can ever explain.

My Journey to Escape the War in Gaza

My name is Abdelmajed. I never imagined I’d be sharing my story like this, but life in Gaza has become unbearable. I am a survivor of the war here, and in the blink of an eye, everything I once knew—my home, my safety, my community—was ripped away from me.

The war has transformed Gaza into a graveyard of broken dreams. The buildings that once stood as symbols of life and resilience are now piles of rubble. Every corner is filled with the echoes of explosions. Every moment is shrouded in uncertainty. There is no security. There is no stability. There is no light at the end of the tunnel.

Basic needs have become luxuries. Food is scarce. Clean water is even scarcer. Hospitals are overwhelmed and under-resourced, and there is almost no medical care to be found. Every night, families go to bed hungry, praying they’ll wake up to see another day. The cost of basic necessities has skyrocketed, and it’s become a daily battle just to survive.

I’ve seen things I never thought possible—standing in long lines for a piece of bread, rationing every drop of water, and watching my people suffer in silence. I have lost everything—my home, my safety, my dignity.

Escape from Gaza is my only hope, but it’s almost impossible without financial help. The cost of evacuation is far beyond my means, and without support, I’m trapped in a warzone with no way out.

I’m reaching out to you now, in the hopes that someone, anyone, can help. I am not asking for luxury. I am asking for a chance—just a chance—to live. A chance to escape this never-ending cycle of fear, destruction, and loss. A chance to rebuild my life somewhere safe, where I can begin again, where I can find hope once more.

Any amount you can give will help me get closer to safety. Even the smallest donation will make a difference—it could be the lifeline I need to survive. If you are unable to donate, please share my story. The more people who hear it, the better the chance that I can find the support I desperately need.

Your kindness and support mean the world to me. You’re not just helping me escape a war; you’re giving me a chance to live, to rebuild, to breathe again.

Thank you for listening. Thank you for caring.

so I feel like I missed some details but basically post game shinigamichan is so depressed she makes an entire labyrinth where she can live a perfect domestic life with Yuma, where she cooks for him and takes care of him all day, with no need for dangerous mystery solving. he realizes he’s a phantom, but since he’s a perfect replica, he’s able to reassure her that the real yuma does care and will definitely come back for her. she resolves to confess to him when they reunite

Thank you for sharing this with me! Lord I almost cried as I read the last of your summaries. Poor shinigami I hope her and yuma reunite someday.

Crossover friendship between Arhen and Elloise?

The idea of these two being friends just came to me the other day and I couldn't stop thinking about it 😅

These two would have more of a sibling like relationship but others would misinterpret their relationship as romantic due to Elloise's previous familial issues.

[aisururuby]

Hi 💞 I’ve just recently discovered your account and I absolutely love your ships (I love athy x arhen so much It’s so cute) and i was wondering if you have any crossover ships or just ships in general for Arienne?? 💖 Idk if you do or not since I just discovered u 😭 btw I know Jason is canonically Arienne’s lover but I just am so uncomfortable with that idk why 😭 i feel like Arienne and Jason didn’t have that much chemistry in the comic so I just wanna know if you have any other ships with her?? 💞 i love your writing and your ships with the twins new life sm and keep up with your amazing work ☺️💙

Thanks for liking my ships and my writing! Very appreciated for that and the only other crossover ship I have is Eiji x Jennette. And no I don't have a crossover ship for Arienne since I was more focused on Arhen who didn't have ANY love interests despite also being an MC in the manhwa 😅

[aisururuby]

Can we talk about how the narrative just screws with Athanasia and Jennette?

Athanasia spend her childhood pretending to be someone she wasn't just so she could live cause her dad's a psychopath and everyone keeps telling her that said dad cares for her despite actions saying otherwise. Her dad's childhood friend/personal guard, her nanny/maid who her dad threatened, and her childhood who's flip-flop. By the narrative, she doesn't continue to hate Claude and stops or doesn't make attempts to prepare to leave despite it being her original goal. To fricking leave Claude. You know prioritizing her safety? What happened to the girl who wanted to leave so she wouldn't die in the future? Why couldn't she ask Lucas to get her out of Obelia when she knew that he knew she wanted to runaway? Oh wait we have to focus on the "father-daughter relationship" that totally isn't unhealthy. Nope.

It's almost like she had to lost respect for herself as she grew up. She was struck with people who told her Claude cared for her since she was young despite HER having to put in the work to the relationship that was highly praised work. So of course she would go with it because the people around failed her. They have cater to Claude cause that's part of the narrative so even if he tries to kill Athanasia, she HAS to go back and miss him even when the red flags were flailing.

The whole one-sided rivalry between Athanasia and Jennette is weird. The girls are supposed to be sisters/cousins, so why are they seemingly being portrayed as love rivals? Jennette wants to be with Athanasia and Claude cause they're her family but she can't have that because Claude can only have one child? How does that make sense? And Athanasia got on the bs too? Athy read lovely princess so she of people knows that Jennette wants to be with them but no she becomes jealous of her cousin.

It's weird that Jennette is just not allowed to be with them despite being related to them. But wait we can't add another member to the family that'll break the family status quo. So instead a character who wasn't even alive is brought into the plot so Jennette can leave have her own dad. And it felt odd like Anastacius was possessed by a spirit since he was a child and is just now being freed. Which means he's pretty much a stranger to everyone including Jennette because we don't know he's actual personality. Remember possessed since being a child and yet Jennette was sent away with said stranger.

Why was this seen as a good thing? No one find that concerning?

Anyway those were my thoughts.

[aisururuby]

Lucas what? You were going to ERASE people's memories about Claude mistreating Athanasia? Despite the fact Claude deserves the backflash and the man actually did that 😒

Visiting the bookstore

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Quick note: This is suppose to take place 2 two years after the twins lived in Obelia.

“Arhen I think Arienne was onto something when she said you were like a black hole.”

“What's wrong with liking food?”

“You've eaten seven octopus bread already.”

Arhen held Verbena's hand as they walked in between food stands. That day he managed to persuade Verbena to take him to the food stands in the village they frequent. He initially invited Arienne and Athanasia to sneak out but they declined since they were spending time with the other children. So it was just them, if you include Yeou who tagged along.

“Well I think we did enough food shopping. Let's go to that bookstore Auntie brought us to before.” voiced Verbena.

Arhen nodded and fixed his hood before picking up Yeou. Verbena made sure to hold his hand as they headed towards the direction of the bookstore.

_______________________________

Arhen paced around the bookstore with Yeou as he waited for Verbena to finish looking around. They were the only ones there along with the owner until another customer came through the store's door as its bell chimed when they entered.

Arhen peered over at the new presence and took notice of their clothing. They dressed up pretty nicely; he'd assumed they were a noble. Though what caught his attention was their purple eyes.

“Is something wrong, young man?” Arhen snapped over it and saw the customer before him. Also realizing they'd just spoken to him, ‘ shoot I almost thought they were a girl with their long brown hair.’

“Ah n-no I just your eyes were pretty, sir.” Exclaimed Arhen. He felt embarrassed he got caught staring when that usually happens to Arienne at home.

“Oh thank you but what's a young boy your age doing in a bookstore by yourself?” The customer questioned.

“I'm with my big sister.” Arhen answered.

“Big sister?” The customer said. He watched as the man looked around the store and spotted Verbena who was reading one of the books. “I see…”

The customer seemed to take this as a sign to leave him alone and do whatever he even came to the bookstore for.

Arhen lets out a breath he didn't know he was keeping in. For some reason, he felt a bit more uneasy to that customer compared to other strangers he'd come across on the streets. Hopefully Verbena will be done soon.

_______________________________

Fortunately, Verbena was able to get the book she wanted, however she couldn't buy it since she spent most of her allowance on the street food she brought for him earlier.

“Aww I actually wanted this.” Exclaimed Verbena. Arhen was starting to feel bad for Vee but before he could respond, the customer from before spoke up.

“If you'd like, I can pay for the book.” Said the customer.

“W-what? No, it's fine. I'll come buy it another time.” Declined Verbena.

Arhen figured they might be there longer and decided to speed up the process. “Big sister, I wanna go home.” He said.

This seemed to work because they were already dashing towards the door with Yeou. For a second, he could have sworn heard a choking sound from the man. Arhen took a quick glance at the man and saw his eyes had widened as he stared back at him.

The siblings and Yeou ran into an alleyway to catch their breath until Yeou howled at Arhen. Arhen looked at him puzzled before realizing the hood of his cape had come down revealing his golden blonde hair.

“Oh”

_______________________________

Back in the bookstore, the man with long brown hair and purple eyes stood frozen from what he'd witnessed. The boy he spoke to just now. He thought it was just a coincidence the boy looked like a mini version of his father or rather THEIR father.

“I didn't think you were alive. . .is the other alive as well?” The man mumbled.

“I should ask Niweh to help at least confirm this.” And thus the man finally left the bookstore.

[aisururuby]

Couldn't add these photos due to the limited but Karavan did end up apologize to the woman who he threw back in chapter 2.

You know Claude won't apologize for murdering the concubines for Diana's death 😒

His relationship with his daughter, Irene and the guilt he has: Karavan Dionne Parjunel

One of the things I appreciate about the adventures of a demon king's daughter is how it handled the 'I tried to kill my newborn child because my wife/lover passed after giving birth' plot point. As well for Karavan himself.

Kar reminds me of Claude from wmmap but only the small bits like losing their wife/lover after they given birth to their only child. However what strayed them apart is how they handle the aftermath. So I'll be comparing them again.

When she passed

In wmmap when Diana passed, Claude proceeded to murder his concubines and attempted to murder Athanasia only to stop after hearing her name. He didn't stop because he recognized her as his child but on a whim. Meanwhile when Saeinere passed, Karavan threw one of the women who helped deliver Irene and tried save Saeinere onto the ground. He attempted to murder Irene before stopping himself when he realized the one he tried to kill was his own child with the one he loves. Even after he calmed down, Saeinere's spirit told him to love Irene for the both of them.

Raising their daughter

Here's comes one of the biggest differences between the two men: how they handled raising their daughter. In wmmap for the first FIVE YEARS of Athanasia's life, Claude neglected her, put a spell on himself to forget Diana and by extension Athanasia too. When they do meet, you can't say it's a good one and doesn't try to attempt to be her parent. Which we know is his fault. Even if she does have maids to take care of her, the father daughter is more one-sided as Athanasia is the one who does any attempt of forming a familial relationship which isn't fair by all means. Then we have Karavan and Irene, whose relationship is actually genuine compared to Claude and Athanasia. After Irene was born, Karavan learned how to hold a baby properly for her sake and how to raise a child over the years with the help of his wife's family, and Irene's godparents. When he isn't doing his duties, he spending time with Irene. When you look at their relationship, you can tell they truly care for each other.

Bringing back a past event

Now like I mentioned before both men have tried to murder their own daughters in the past but what I noticed is that unlike Claude, we are shown that Karavan does in fact regret and is remorseful for what he tried to do Irene out of grief but acknowledges that's not excuse. Even doubting his ability to a good father to Irene.

When Irene remembers this event, she is rightfully hurt. She's hurt by what Karavan tried to but she's not really sure how to feel. On one hand she feels resentful and on the other she feels sorry for him questioning if he needs her in his life. When asked if she regrets being his daughter, she cries as she actually has a genuine bond with him that isn't one-sided. When they meet again and she asks if he regrets having her as his daughter, he replies in tears "How could ever I regret such a thing?" And that he loves her.

This event literally happened in season 1 while Irene was eight. But we had to wait until the final season wmmap for Claude to finally apologize to Athanasia for his actions. Athanasia had to wait until she was FIFTEEN for her dad to apologize for what how he treated her. And Claude's apologize scene didn't feel genuine because their relationship never feel genuine to begin with.

Whelp will probably make more posts with the adventures of a demon king's daughter later

Wait what's Athanasia getting hated on for? Please tell me it's not because of Claude too😭

So I was rereading chapter 80 and is athy okay? She's out here trying to convince herself Claude is good and thinks maybe she should have tried to get to know him rather than rightfully thinking about her safety.
