on the "gazavetters" situation

For those unaware, the blog "gazavetters" which claimed to be run by legitimate Gazans on the ground and was verifying Gazan fundraisers, has been purged and a vague message was left on the blog seemingly discrediting vetting as a whole.

Myself and the team in @gaza-evacuation-funds are not associated with them and we never have been.

Their message is too vague to say what the actual intent behind it is, as it is written by ESL speakers. It seems to be criticizing the vetting practice rather than the fundraisers themselves but zionists will hear what they want to hear. The message is currently being co-opted by the racist and cruel "all Gazans are scammers" gang because of the vague nature of the message. Do Not be drawn in by that or fall into their racist trap.

Unfortunately it is hard to say the damage this vague message has done to many possibly legitimate fundraisers on the gazavetters list, as their legitimacy is now up in the air, in addition to every other gazan on tumblr fundraising for their families.

Though we are incredibly disappointed and puzzled by how things have been handled by gazavetters, we are investigating what happened there because we are commited to legitimate gazan fundraisers and deserving people continuing to get the support that they need.

Regardless of our findings, it is a reality that we may not be able to re-verify every single family on their list. And all we can offer is to try and shed more light on the situation. And unfortunate as it is that many families' legitimacy was harmed, we can't be held responsible for the actions of others.

Please avoid reblogging fundraisers vetted by gazavetters for the time being until we are able to confirm whether we can still consider these fundraisers as legitimate.

Nahida redesign! Breakdown below

So I adore Nahida as character, but especially as a southasian I always wished she would have more cultural motifs in her design. I really wanted to see something that could be realistically in the game, that adds to the original, while retaining the few great details hyv put in her design so I thought why not do it myself!

I based her dress on the lehenga instead of having the basic dress, as it's closest to her silhouette (missed opportunity!!!!!!). Its traditional wear, yet not as ancient as the saree which i thought fits nahidas youthfulness. Tbh I just split the dress in 2 lol, as i love her patterns

These prominently feature the bodhi leaf, which in buddhism symbolizes enlightenment and wisdom. So it was important for me to not alter those elements, and I changed almost nothing else on the dress.

What I did change are the sleeve things (?) To an actual dupatta, which is a type of long scarf. Put even more bodhi symbols there. Sorry for bad pic

Additionally I added a maang tikka (head jewelry) and earrings. I kept her bangle and the ghanta bell (used in hindu rituals) on the back as these are the other cultural elements she has.

The Mehndi design is a Lotus to reference one of her inspirations: Anahita, persian goddess of wisdom and flowing waters and where Nahida's name comes from. She is also inspired by hindu goddesses like Saraswati (also goddess of wisdom and more), Aranyani (forest goddess) , a forest fairy from the buddhist Kusanali Jataka tale, and likely even more.

And for the last detail: I gave her anklets, in reference to Aranyani/Rukkhadevata.

One of Rukkhadevatas title was Queen Aranyani, and the actual real goddess is said to have worn anklets with bells that were heard in the forest. Tho I removed the bells, since Rukkhadevata is dead and forgotten now, and so you can't hear her anymore. :')

Bc of it's purpose it's not the flashiest design, but I had so much fun researching, learning so many new things and trying to incorporate them back to Nahidas design! If someone educated has more to add or something I can correct I'd love to hear :)

I know some accounts follow me that verify fundraisers or know some of them, so please spread the word about the current situation since a lot of gfm blogs used them to get verified and now that’s all deleted.
