🚨 We Need Your Kindness to Survive 🚨

Hello, My name is Mosab, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become harder than I ever imagined, and I’m writing this with hope in my heart that you might hear our story.

The ongoing war has devastated my family. We’ve lost 25 family members—each one a beloved part of our lives, taken too soon. I miss them deeply—their laughter, their presence, their love. Every day is a reminder of this unimaginable loss.

We are now facing daily challenges to survive—things that most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams with the constant fight for survival.

Our Current Situation:

💔 Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income.

📚 Dreams on Hold: Like so many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive.

😢 Unimaginable Loss: Losing 25 loved ones has left a void that can never be filled.

How You Can Help:

I’m sharing our story with the hope that someone out there might care. Even $10 can make a big difference for us, and if you’re unable to donate, just reblogging this post can help spread the word.

Your kindness, no matter how small, is something we’ll never forget.

What This Means to Us:

Your support is not about changing our entire situation—it’s about giving us a little relief, a little hope, and a way to keep going. We are not asking for much, and we understand if you can’t donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as a donation.

Thank you for reading this far. It means the world to us to know that someone is listening. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.

With all our gratitude,

Mosab and Family ❤️

A Plea for Hope – Help Us Rebuild

I never thought I would be writing this, but today, I need to ask for your kindness. My name is Mosab, and I live in Gaza with my family. The war has shattered our lives, taking 25 of my loved ones and leaving us struggling to survive.

💔 Our lives have changed forever. We have no work, no home, and every day is uncertain. 😢 The pain is unimaginable. Losing so many family members has left a void that nothing can fill. 📢 We need help to keep going. Even a small donation can provide food, water, or shelter.

We have raised $809 so far, but the road ahead is long. If you cannot donate, please share this post. Every share helps us reach someone who might be able to make a difference.

Your kindness keeps us hopeful in the darkest of times.

Thank you, Mosab & Family ❤️

“Spoliarium” by Filipino artist Juan Luna is a manifestation of the romantic period primarily because of the visual elements depicted in the painting. Unlike the neoclassical piece Oath of the Horatii, the colors seen in the Spoliarium are indistinct and not as solid, which blend into the chiaroscuro or play of light and dark. The scene is quite chaotic, depicting fallen gladiators being dragged mercilessly across the chamber floor by their Roman oppressors – the characters have no emotional restraint whatsoever, conveying the pain and anguish suffered by the gladiators. At the same time, the focal point portrays the act of struggle between the Roman soldiers, because of the evidence of diagonal lines that bring into scene a form of action. To the left side of the painting, a crowd of men can be seen cheering and spectating the bloody sight. To the right side, in extreme contrast, the painting displays a woman crouched down weeping on the floor. It is clearly seen how Luna appealed to emotions unlike classical artists whose characters possess emotional restraint. As mentioned above, the whole painting rejects the precepts of order and harmony, because of the immediate denotation of the bloody bodies, the Roman soldiers, the weeping woman, and many more aspects of the painting, which actually establish a powerful connotation. The Spoliarium is usually interpreted as a visual metaphor/representation of the suffering the Filipino people experienced during the Spanish colonial period. This has become the unthinking interpretation of most Filipinos when faced with the painting, without their own sense of understanding. However, to truly understand the piece in an artistic sense and to appreciate its sublimity, the interpretation of the Spoliarium must not be handed to us or answered for us. In my personal analysis of the painting, the Spoliarium speaks generally of the prejudices that lie in society (portrayed by the gladiators, as the slaves while the Roman soldiers are the oppressors) and how superiority dominates and divides humanity. Injustices are done to those without power that try to fight for their liberties, but instead, are tossed into the dark as others simply spectate without much concern towards the repressed. These apathetic spectators are symbolized by the cheering crowd on the left that wait for what is to happen next to the gladiators. Furthermore, the mourning lady, to me, represents the suffering of the marginalized or those who were unable to take action during Luna’s time (i.e. women and children) and could only bear to watch the carnage of human rights being violated – whether it be against them or against the people close to them. This piece inspires, because it does not hold back from the realistic portrayal of suffering that must have been undergone and does not romanticize the torture that can be seen not only in the painting, but also in the world around us.

**SPOILERS FOR ALL OF BEAST YEAST EPISODE 7!!!

My personal analysis, letting it escape from my notes app! Fun!! This has to be split into parts because it's long

Back in the beginning, it's established that shadow milk is messing with pure vanilla through his dreams. His dreams consist of memories from his childhood and past

To be clear, Shadow Milk is not present in these moments when they happen. That sheep did not have shadow milk's eyes when that happened.

Shadow milk is taking his time on presenting his planted lies

This is foreshadowing PVs awakening. The light refers to PV true Light of Truth. The spire of knowledge did exist, but it was turned into the spire of deceit.

Personal theory but I feel it'll go back to the spire of know when PV awakens, as he will accept his light.

Fortune Teller and pure vanilla can coexist at the same time since shadow milk's domain.

It's rather confusing, but I'm trying to think of it as a paradox. There's one that fits well but I can't remember which one. But we know that past, present, and future coexist at the same time here

This story has some sort of significance to pure vanilla's past. Shadow Milk is using this as a way to subconscious twist pure vanilla's memories again. By giving him a memory of his childhood, as well as a character who is a shepherd, he's trying to make PV believe he was always a liar. That the boy who cried wolf was him!

Shadow Milk is taking a separate way to confuse PV this time. During the Theater of Lies, he had taken lies and sprinkled on truth. But instead he is taking the truth of pure vanilla's memory and twisting bits and pieces to confuse him. The parts that involve shadow milk are these lies

Pure Vanilla knows these memories happened, that they are true. But he struggles to sperate and notice the lies within them. A part of him knows this but as SHmilk puts more and more, he grows more and more doubtful. Shadow Milk is trying to confuse pure vanilla so he will see and accept the "truth" that he wants him too. The truth that shadow milk has been guiding him the entire time, which isn't true

Shadow milk confronts PV with a situation, presumably one he would have gone through as a healer. It's a troubling situation, Pure Vanilla does not want the cookie to give up hope of he tells them he can not save him. It is a cruel truth, so he lies. Pure Vanilla lies for a different reason that Shadow Milk, he lies to help. Shadow Milk lies to confused, but both use deceit.

Pure Vanilla ends up panicking since he knows he lied, he knows he could not save that cookie. Shadow Milk uses this illusion to make him feel that lies can be good, a sweet lie away from the cruel truth

shadow milk uses this riddle to separate the two. He knows PV knows the answer since he can see into his memories. White Lily was the reason PV did not corrupt before, he has to separate them

Also this sets up White Lily and Silent Salt meeting!!

Pt. 1/4,, the rest are in the reblogs!!!

Maya Fey is such a fucking genius concept for a character it makes me insane. at 17 years old she's the sole heir to a prestigious and powerful family of spirit mediums. her parents are gone and her sister is dead and the burden of the fey legacy is hers alone to bear. And so it is her destiny to spend her entire life training rigorously to detach herself from the world in order to hone her powers and reclaim the pride and standing of the Fey clan. and what does she do about it? she becomes the most unapologetically earthly, hedonistic, materialistic creature alive. A girl who is always chasing pleasure, be that in money, in food, in children's tv shows. A girl who loves loudly, who wants loudly, who lives loudly. A girl who in all her strength and kindness is not afraid to be selfish and to take what she wants. And yet underneath all that is something small and sad and scared. She's lonely, and afraid of being left behind. she struggles with self-esteem. she's passively suicidal. and eventually, under enough pressure, she DOES start to crack under the weight of it all because at the end of the day despite everything she is still a teenage girl. I genuinely cannot imagine thinking that Maya Fey is badly written. I think she's one of the most brilliant video game characters of all time.
