URGENT HELP🚨🚨🚨🍉🇵🇸
Hello,
How do you do ? I hop to be in a good condition.
This is my special campaign
We hope to help us by donating or sharing to others.
Every donation makes a different even if it a small.
As you know, the war began on October 7 and lasted ten months. During this period, we were unable to obtain food, drink, or treatment because we did not have money.
There is no source of income for the family at the present time, so we are unable to buy food, clean water, and medicine, especially after we are afflicted with the ongoing infectious diseases spread in the north like Hepatitis C disease.
Our house has been damaged a lot since the beginning of the war. We are from the north of Gaza and we are still in the north and have not displaced to the south. We displaced 10 times from place to another seeking to safety .
We hope for your help and support, even if only a little.🙏🙏
Vetted by Femme intifada on telegram.
Also, vetted by gazavetters on tumbler and my number is #60
My campaign was recently vetted by butterfly effect group on Instagram and my number is #964
This is the link if you would to read our story well 👇👇

I did art of Mr Puzzles and Harley today
This one still needs to be finished. While riding the bus to school, Mixed Nuts (Spy X Family Anime opening) played in a playlist Spotify made for J-Pop songs I listened to so it inspired me to make something related with these two.
An additional drawing I did while testing out the new inking pens I got. A lot of friends really liked it which made me really happy :]

*Bursts in* Lore for your Phoenix please?
HOW DID YOU GET IN MY HOUSE?!/j
Lol okay. Strap yourself in everyone for my first lore dump ever :]
So, Mystery Phoenix, we don't know anything about their past. That's why they're a Mystery! The End! (okay this isn't the end of the lore dump)
Look at them! Such a silly fella!
So basically when Phoenix was working as a spy worked along with another person named Agent Scarlet. Agent Scarlet has some family conflict in the past so she hopes that becoming a spy would help avenge for her past.
Here's Agent Scarlet. She's slaying too.
Anyways, Phoenix has the talent and is pretty good. A natural if I do say so myself.
They got gold stars for doing good on their mission!!
And now here's Scarlet!
ermm... you look good, Scarlet...! I guess...
So Scarlet isn't doing too good and seeing Phoenix eat up this job makes her jealous. Scarlet expresses her anger to Phoenix and Phoenix does what they can to comfort them because they genuinely care about Scarlet (Mystery fella with a heart!)
TW: Suicide is mentioned
Agent Phoenix is getting ready for work and notices a note left on a desk. The note was from Scarlet saying how she's been in the way of the missions and would finally get off their back for good. Phoenix is in shock believing she committed suicide and it breaks them.
Scarlet: I get it now. I'm useless. I'm useless to you and the missions. I'll get out of your way now -Scarlet
Phoenix: sniff sniff
Very heart breaking. Friends who I showed this to can likely agree.
That's the story before the game starts. While the games goes on it's just completely normal (I only say this cause again, I never played the game nor want to watch gameplay of it because I wanna experience it myself). The only thing that happens in the lore when the games go on is that in IEYTD 3 Phoenix discovers that Agent Scarlet isn't dead?!?!?!
So when Agent Scarlet left the spy business they joined Zoraxis and is partnered with Roxana Prism. This is when Toxic Yuri starts to happen (YEEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!!!)
Basically, Agent Scarlet is attention starved and basically is trying to do all she can do for validation from Roxana. Roxana on the other hand is just trying to get work done.
I have two more important characters but it's all very vague
This lil guy is Agent Phoenix's adopted son. Idk where Agent Phoenix would find him but I wanna make it where the lil guy would be used for a test subject but when Agent Phoenix finds him they pick him up and save them.
This guy is gonna be a butler that helps assist Phoenix and eventually these two fall in love (I'm a sucker for making romance in stories).
Look at these two lovebirds
So now here's the real question. What makes Agent Phoenix... Agent Phoenix? Well don't worry cause I have an answer!
So Agent Phoenix wears this Phoenix pin in secret which explains his invincibility.
Sketches from my sketchbook related to it. I'm aware how light it is. I'm sorry 😔
Then I thought about another instance where Agent Phoenix wants to retire from his spy job but passes the legacy down to his adopted son.
He's such a proud father 🥹
And that's all I have to yap about. The only things about the lore I know isn't final are the parts of my lore that occur in game (main story and characters) cause there may be things I got wrong or a character is mischaracterized.
Overall, I'm happy about this!
Thank you @gr3yyyyy for sharing your hyperfixation with me and thank you to the IEYTD community for being really kind. You guys are sweet and epic! ❤️

About my Agent Phoenix
Legal Name: Floriana B. Ambrose Floriana Marife Ambrose(Corrected Post-Death Engine. Full Legal Name is currently classified due to ongoing investigations.) Pronouns: They/Them (Occasionally uses she/her) Age: Late 20s (27-29) Eye Color: Brown with Grey Spots Hair Color: Brown-Dark Brown
Brief Backstory Content Warnings: Inferiority Complex, Mentions of War, Implied Toxic Workplace, Time Loop Deaths
Agent Phoenix, known by family and close friends (only) as Florian but known as Marife or "Fe" by the agency (R&D in particular), will be referred to as Phoenix going forward, is considered one of the best agents (if not the best) in the entire Enhanced Operatives Division, capable of feats that impressed even the likes of Dr. Zor.
Phoenix has a warm yet slightly detached personality, often never speaking unless spoken to first, with exception towards those they consider close or those who are injured. Often, they would allow other people to speak for them in group settings. Their developmental environment's emphasis speaking in English, caused them to become self-conscious of their accent (in the beginning) when speaking, adding to their refusal to communicate.
Despite these roadblocks, they've been proven helpful in more subtle ways, usually in the form lf leaving snacks for fellow agents and leaving in sweet notes. They also try to be in their fellow agents' funerals as much as possible as a "sign of respect".
Their childhood had war as a backdrop, usually in the form of news reports from another part of the country, although one could argue they were fairly insulated. But some records suggest they were in contact with those in the battlefield at a young age.
However, their educators did not hold back on the reality of war and the darker parts of history. This led to their melancholic outlook in life, specifically towards leadership and authority figures.
While they often comply with regulations, they contain a skeptical and wariness that often made people uncomfortable once they become aware of it. They keep records and backups of any reports or paperwork that make it to their desk. A background check implies that their former workplace was far from the welcoming place it claims to be. (It is also worth noting that Zoraxis now have considerable control of the company.)
They also have an uncanny ability to ask their way when dealing with civilians, often by just being polite.
Records show that they're quite fearful of losing the ones they love but it is currently unknown to what extent. However, it's highly implied that they're willing to sacrifice their life if need be and are willing to devote considerable time and resources just to uncover the truth. This was the main reason they joined the agency, following an incident that led them losing their partner due to a Zoraxis attack.
Phoenix has also been shown to be quite secretive, often saying "you didn't ask" when questioned. One such example is regarding about their legal name, which forced the agency to correct it after the Death Engine. There is still an ongoing investigation about Phoenix's legal name/s. However, their loyalty to the agency had been proven time and time again. Even with their multiple deaths in the time loops.

Happy Mootsgiving, everyone!
So, technically, I know Thanksgiving is an American holiday… history… yadda yadda. However, this is not Thanksgiving.
This is Mootsgiving, and what I say goes ‘cause this is my holiday. Anyway! Mootsgiving is all the basic ideas of Thankgiving but better because I’m great like that.
I just wanted to show everyone how grateful I am, since gratefulness is a key principle of Thanksgiving.
I want all my moots from different countries to be able to have the picture-perfect movie-esque Thanksgiving of being surrounded by friends and family with all the care and love and gratefulness that can be poured into a single human. And, as the ever-dramatic Runar, what better way to do that than to organize a huge event?
So! Rules!
State what food you brought
State one thing you’re thankful for
My name is Runar, I brought the eggnog, and I’m grateful for each and every one of you 💗🫶
Really sappy and really long paragraph/speech under the cut!!
Soooo… to start off my big long speech… *clinks my fancy wine glass that’s filled with a mysterious substance* (It’s eggnog)
When I first started this blog, it was off a whim. I wanted to do something, something that involved putting my work out there, as I was just starting out. I wanted to mean something. In any sort of way, I wanted to leave a sort of mark. Not just any mark, though, no. I wanted to add a bit of joy, a spark of life that comes from creativity, and adding words and love into the space we occupy on this floating rock in space.
I wanted to write because it made me happy, and I wanted there to be a possibility of someone who was who got joy from reading to maybe stumble upon it, and get joy from me. Get joy from something I was able to provide for them.
I was also incredibly lonely. I had no friends, I had nothing, pretty much. I didn’t talk much. I was reclusive. I was okay, but I was empty. I didn’t have a purpose. And while I wasn’t expecting much, nothing at all really, I was overjoyed at the prospect that maybe just one person would stumble upon something I wrote and for a moment of their day, maybe they got peace from it.
Maybe they felt a little less lonely. I would have been at peace with just knowing the possibility of it was out there. And then… it did. And I got more than I bargained for, even, I got a friend. My first friend.
From there, everything… clicked. Slowly, but ever so surely, things were falling into place. I was gaining something that had not even crossed my mind. A family.
So, my silly dream born from a whim became friends, connections, and family, it became life-altering. It had ups, it had downs, it had in-betweens. It was beautiful and messy and happy and sad and fucked up and so wonderfully… human?
Yeah, this is online, this is a silly mootsgiving idea I thought up three hours ago because I wanted people to know I love them.
But to someone who had nothing, this is everything. You are everything.
Even if we’ve only talked one time, you have a special place in my heart. The character growth has been… one hell of a ride. I’ve gone through many eras, and made new friends in each and every one of them. So, with the end of the year closing soon, I suppose in a way this is not just a silly mootsgiving.
My bigger end goal, really, was to make sure as we get to the end of this ear, you know how genuinely important this whole year has been to me. How important you have been. I got an anon ask,
What does it feel like to be wanted?
It was beautiful poetry. I replied, said I wouldn’t know what it feels like to be wanted. But really? I think maybe I do. I think it feels like having enough people that you love to organize and invite everyone to a huge event online, to write out this heartfelt paragraph and trust that at least one person will care enough to read it.
My beginning goal has changed so much, and not at all. My biggest purpose in life has been, and I think will always be, to add something into this world.
Creativity, joy, happiness, compassion, I want to ensure that no matter what, as long as you know me, you know you have one person on this earth who loves and cares about you with as much feeling that can physically be felt by one person without exploding into a bunch of tiny little runar pieces.
But moreso, I think maybe my goal has changed from wanting to put stories out there, to putting myself out there. I don’t want to write stories that are just fiction, just crafted ideas meshed together to create a blob of fiction.
I want to write pieces of myself into everything, which i think might genuinely be impossible to not do. I want my heart to pour out of my fingers into the things i type out for you, and i want to not only feel things, but to maybe make you feel something too. Something warm and fuzzy, something good, as good as you deserve.
Aaaaannnd…. to end this….
I love you guys, thanks for being here <3

I’m also late lmao.
I’m bringing in some sweet potatoes with marshmallows on it
I’m thankful for my family and especially thankful for friends old and new I had made. I’m glad to have met them all. ❤️
