While my last post for Nader's family's campaign got to 4,000+ notes, it quickly slowed in donations, and the poll got 7,000+ votes. This means a lot of people did stop to look at the post because of the poll, but not interact much beyond that, which is disheartening considering a lot of people on here post about Gaza.

It is a very simple donation process--you don't need an account or anything--and literally any amount is appreciated.

I'm asking today for people to match my donation of (at least) €10 (share evidence in the notes if you want), and if you know anyone who could get the campaign more traction on here or another site, share it with them, especially if you've shown support for the cause.

My poll mentions Halloween because it's coming up and a popular holiday in the US and a time to remember that no tragedy is put on hold while you find enjoyment in such things.

This campaign is vetted (#4 on this list) and currently has €15,426 raised out of a goal of €50,000 and slowed in activity.

Now that I've got your attention (people stop scrolling for a poll), I am making this post on behalf of Nader @abdalsalam1990, as I have a large following which could help it get traction. This campaign has been vetted! (#4 on the list)

Nader is 17 years old and his family is in Gaza facing dire circumstances. Food is scarce, prices are high, and there are shortages in water. They, like countless others suffering during this war, have already had to relocate many times, and their home is destroyed. They do not have enough money to safely relocate right now, or a stable source of income, as places of work have been destroyed.

Any amount of money can help Nader and his family escape this destruction.

This campaign currently has (as of the time I write this post) €11,540 out of €50,000 raised, with 627 donations. I have donated myself and I know a lot of my followers can afford to donate at least something. It's not a hard donation process, so I hope you take a moment of your day to show some support.

Genocide flattens every discussion. There are no new conversations to be had about the destruction, death and cruelty. After more than a year, there is nothing left to be said about various media houses, corporations and international bodies of law aiding and abetting all that has been happening in Gaza, either. It is the banality of evil, it is colonialism. However even in this atrociously banal circumstance, I do think what still is a continued point of hope for Gazans and what still pushes so many of them to reach out to the world, is the support people around the globe have shown and still continue to show. Which is why I am here on behalf of the Shehab family ( @fahedshehab-new ) and requesting  you to help them survive through this winter. This won't take much of your time so please read: 

Fahed is currently supporting 13 family members in total- his own family and that of his sister’s.

He has to look after 8 children now, with the youngest being his son Yayha who is barely having anything to eat because the price of baby milk  is exorbitantly high in Gaza. 

The genocide has taken a toll on Fahed’s daughters. Sahar and Dana spent a whole year under the threat of bombs and right now instead of getting to be teenagers, they ask their father if they will survive. They have even said they don't want to live if they lose someone. 

The family right now immediately needs clothes to keep them warm throughout winter. Fahed’s family is from the north and has been displaced several times before they came south. Displacement is dangerous and a silent killer because often essential items are lost and cannot be replaced in time. 

Please consider that the weather has already turned colder around the world and that which is only mildly uncomfortable to us, presents a dire situation for Gazans. The families don't have a shelter and there is no way for tents to adequately protect from cold winds and rain. So right now the immediate need is for warm clothes and it can cost upto $400 per person. With THIRTEEN PEOPLE to take care of Fahed immediately needs to raise at least 5k to buy the required apparels. So please boost and donate. 

Currently at $66,248. He needs to reach $71,248. Please help however you can.

Please remember that every donation, even if it is 5 dollars, is a ray of hope for the families who have lost everything.

Tagging for reach 🙏🏽

Hi I have too much time on my hands, also this is my blog, so Here's what I wish the seven stages were.

First of all: here's what I didn't like:

+ Thirst & Urination: was literally used once?? A waste of space, time and lines. There are other ways to get old!Five to leave the room other than going to piss.

+ Excessive Gas: Somehow the most creative & interesting one (it's noticeable, a use of voice effects instead of a visual ones, interesting dialogue options) but I just really don't think it's funny, it bores me and kinda feels cheap (that's my opinion tho, if you thought it was funny that's totally fine).

+ Paranoia: Too specific, also If u have to use the words "i don't trust him" in the dialogue, you've failed to convey paranoia properly. Besides, it's also way funnier if Five's just naturally paranoid.

+ Uncontrollable perspiration: He can sweat because of stress, if they want. It's interesting for visual purposes, but it's really just a waste of space. Also ew but again: that's just my opinion.

+ this isn't a specific stage, but the order was all jumbled up. I assumed it wouldn't be perfectly seperated but why give them an order if you were gonna ignore it anyway? Yea just a complaint

And now, without further ado: The Seven Stages of Paradox Psychosis (revised)

1. Migraines

Basically: Headaches. This can be expressed in Eye strain, annoyance and irritability. It can be worked into the dialogue, but it could also remain hidden (which means if five chooses to tell Luther he has a headache, it means. Well. He chose to. You can go anywhere with that, as a showrunner and as a fan). I chose this because I want the first symptoms to be mostly physical, and the later ones to affect the mind. It's a nice lil suspense curve.

2. Denial

This is important for plot reasons, mostly. Anyway, I really liked it, and it works well. I don't know about the specific execution of it though, so I'd suggest to leave out lines like "no i didn't". It was hilarious in its bluntness, but it felt a little too obvious. I purposefully left the earliest symptoms as the most easily played off. I'd like to see Five excusing the symptoms away at the beginning, instead of straight up denying them. how about an annoyed "People itch themselves, luther. It's part of having skin" or something?

3. Itching

This is the only physical symptom I didn't change. It can be actively incorporated into actions and be, like, a genuine obstacle, if only for its distraction. I don't have much to say, I love the way Aiden worked this into his body language even when it wasn't adressed.

4. Acute Neurosis

This is mostly a replacement for the paranoia, which I already explained why I didn't like. This'll be the point where Five starts, for loss of better phrasing, Losing His Goddamn Shit. This'll be a nice blur to the line between Five's "normal" issues and the Paradox Psychosis, a line that they seemed to be trying to blur anyway.

5. Deteriorating Coordination

There's a lot going on in his head rn. It makes sense for him to be distracted, which means this stage can be excused in the moment. They could have Five drop small things, bump into stuff, trip over himself. It's a nice way to keep the mood lighter without just hitting the fart joke button. Slapstick humour can be brilliant, if done creatively. Also, adding a symptom that can limit five physically will provide the suspense and conflict of a physical injury, without committing to one.

6. Mutual Interception

I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to clearly phrase this. (I eventually gave up.) Basically what this means is: because they're the same person, they forget that there's two of 'em. It starts with things like finishing each other's sentences and feeling each other's pain, and later they'll try to stand in the same place, complete each other's action, and hear each other's thoughts. This has a visual aspect, a physical aspect and a mental aspect, AND provides a fascinating acting challenge and a genuine plot concern. I mean, think how much more worrying it'd be to see Five trying to communicate with Luther, knowing at any moment he could act on old!five's impulses, and vice versa. Imagine the fight scene but occasionally they accidentally kick themselves. I'd give anything to see that. 

(This one is second to last because it'll be noticable and give us a warning to know that stage seven is coming.)

7. Homicidal Rage

Yeah I'm not getting rid of it. The narrative value? The suspense? The comedy? Immaculate. I saw a post explaining how this works perfectly (which I can't find) but the main point, I think, was that if you're under the psycological pressure of being around yourself, it makes sense to go feral. So yea. It's being kept.

Whew alright that was a lot. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as i did contructing it, and I would love to hear anything you have to comment! K bye <3

(Ps, i specifically hope @malorie-rilove @chuckabeth @thatsilentgirlinyourclass @thetrueihaveaname and @margarita-umbrella weren't dissapointed, since y'all literally helped me finish something for he first time in like ever. Seriously tysm)

little district nine edit because im feeling sad about it today (ft an excerpt from my latest wip!)

[boabel]

THE HOUSE OF CURE —

introduction post (part one bc only 10 pictures a post 😭)

"astra inclinant, sed non obligant"

neptune — the father

neptune was the oldest surviving cure after the dark days. the family had a strange history – one remembered fuzzily and only by neptune himself. they were prestigious and important before the war, he was sure of that, they were adversaries of the snows and ravinstills alike. ships forged from memory, a renowned business endeavour. the cures always had salt on their tongues.

the mansion was bombed not long after the war began. there were no survivors, neptune would say. strangely, he forgot himself. he did make it out without a scratch on him, after all.

he continued his family duty and became governor of district four, a job he would fulfill until the day he died.

larissa — the mother

larissa was born of the lower capitol class. she lived outside the corso and went by her birth name, kassandra glass. she had a strange fascination with the elite, and associated it with the books her father read to her on his deathbed.

she eventually changed her name to larissa and got a job as a housekeeper for neptune, who lived on his own in a new, spacious, empty mansion. he would never admit it, but he hired a housekeeper more for company than anything.

he ended up falling for her, her knowledge of literature and "the before times" enthralled him. this was her plan all along.

thalassa — the eldest

always regarded as a strange girl, thalassa was the first daughter of neptune and larissa. she was a once-legendary composer whose work was endorsed by many, most notably experimental scientist volumnia gaul.

thalassa married into the moss family after her premature and unexpected retirement. she disappeared shortly after the birth of her first and only child, iphigenia. many speculated on her disappearance, some even accusing moss himself of killing her though nothing was ever proven.

her music still existed far into the capitol's future but she was never to be seen again.
