Help my family rebuild their lives🙏😭

‼️WE NEED YOU‼️

Hello, I'm Wasim, from Gaza. I'm 20 years old. My family consists of 6 members: my mother, father, 1 sister, and 2 brothers. We were displaced from Rafah to Al-Mawasi in Khan Yunis, under severe bombardment and destruction, without anything, in a small tent that can not accommodate 5 people without the necessities of life.😞💔😭

As was supposed, I was studying at a university in the month of October in which the war broke out, but my university was destroyed, and the universities in the entire sector were destroyed.

Help us and donate to us. Make a difference in our lives. We need you. We are without work and without home😭😞🙏

Unrequited actually is a ship dynamic! :D

It's commonly written as mino->rei (minori as pursuer top) or rei<-mino (minori as pursuer bottom) (as opposed to minorei or reimino which are typically requited dynamics unless otherwise stated) and it's common for people to tag unrequited ships on fanfiction sites. Some smaller sites even use special made tagging systems for requited and unrequited dynamics to keep the spaces separate for people who are only into one or the other

Often people define shipping as being interested in exploring dynamics between characters, and the typical requited romantic pairing shipping is just what is most visible and popular

Someone who adheres only to a specific character dynamic (often top/bottom preference but can be about pursuer preference too!) is called a fixed shipper, so you could say that you're a fixed mino->rei (Minori as pursuer) shipper and it'd totally get the point across. I actually prefer the mino->rei dynamic over the others even though I am not fixed and do like other dynamics, so you can totally find your people out there, though, many feel pretty hurt about that "we can tell your family never loved you" (paraphrasing) drawing you made, but you must have been really stressing out while people were talking about your landmines and potentially getting harassed by antis, like getting caught inbetween spaces where nothing fit you, but maybe if you choose not to judge other people from now on you can build a community that respects each other's different tastes?

Oh and a landmine if you haven't heard of that term is like a hard squick, you absolutely don't want to see it

Basically if you'd like to learn more about proship stuff, it's about being respectful and non-judgemental of other people and about doing your own thing in peace. So we say things like squick and landmine to communicate that there's nothing inherently wrong with the thing, it's neutral, we just don't personally like it or feel really personally disgusted/hateful/upset/etc when we see it, and that's our emotion and has nothing to do with the value of the thing. Kinktomato is for "your kink is not my kink and that's okay", as a way to say "I won't touch that but you do you!"

We also generally encourage anti-harassment behaviours like deleting asks that are meant to stir up drama, answering privately, work out personal issues in private, blocking liberally, things like that, because it makes fandom more peaceful when we don't feed the trolls and curate our own experiences

Another proship thing is tagging correctly for each fandom, platform, language community etc, to be respectful and have peace, so for example in jp fandom to be respectful we don't put ship art in the main tag, and on ao3 we don't put "dni" lists in the tags

It's also good to never confront anyone about whether they're coping or what they have been through, as that is private information

Also there is an expansion of proship called profic that applies to all of fiction, regardless of whether it's ship or not, emphasizing the value of all art regardless of whether we like or agree with it

Sorry if I'm overexplaining but I thought since you haven't been publicly in proship circles you might want a run down of things so you don't have to go hunt for it and end up seeing more things you don't want to see in the process

English isn't my native language so I hope this made sense

And! I hope you get to have fun with unreq mino->rei in peace! It's a fun ship dynamic I'd love to see more of it if you continue to draw

Yeah I can understand how that art I made in response to that previous situation could be seen as annoying. It was done impulsively without much thought, but I wasnt aware that it stuck with people for this long. So I appreciate that you're letting me know about it.

Im also not sure if I actively want to seek out this sort of content from other sources, because I draw them in a way that relates to my own personal experiences, and it honestly doesnt feel the same when I see it done by somebody else. I dont know if I want to discuss such topics with other people who dont have a similar way of perceiving them. I do enjoy drawing them innocently, so it's not something I want to give up on either. I'll probably just have to think about it because it's something too personal for me to discuss openly with strangers even if theyre interacting with me in good faith. This was not content meant to be discussed with anyone other than people I trusted.

As long as others respect that I want to discuss this in a way that explores their dynamic in a manner thats not sexually gratifying, then I guess I dont mind. I may have drawn stuff like this, but I am very sex repulsed, so I dislike looking at pornographic content in general. I only look at nsfw Ive drawn myself because I feel more in control, if that makes sense, but even then I rarely draw it. This was the first time in years that Ive drawn something of this nature because Ive been going through a harder time in my life lately, so it's not something I enjoy thinking about on a daily basis. Im upset that so many people have seen it, including children, but the damage has been done already.

But anyway I dont know if entering spaces like this would be beneficial for me on the long run. Im not trying to sound "morally superior" when I say that I like to explore darker topics in a way that doesnt glorify it, but it always gets interpreted that way by other people, so I dont know what other words to use. And maybe the "anti" side isnt right for me after being threatened with rape earlier and saying I have a pedophile and rape fetish over vent art, but I dont know if proship circles align with my interests, because I do have my own beliefs when it comes to certain limits in fiction which most might not agree with. I still block and mute everything I dont like seeing, but maybe it'll be difficult for me to find someone who thinks similarly to me. I'll just have to keep looking.

But yeah. Today was rough and I had my trauma mocked and diminished by random strangers who value the feelings of pixels on a screen more than victims of CSA, and putting it on the same level as CSEM, as well as others saying Im just looking for "pity points" by bringing up my trauma. People didnt want to take into account that these drawings were a complete reflection of what I went through, which is whatever now. I cant do anything about that. The topic is just exhausting to me now. I dont care about labels, but I just want to find a space where that doesnt happen. Your English is great and I understood what you said. I hope my words have been clear. Thanks for the message. I'll just have to think about it more.

Even one-sided romantic feelings very much count as shipping, whether it would come from minori or reigen. People were right to call it ship art from the start but you deflected by telling people to kys. How does that famillial love add up with what you were portraying then? And no, everyone can draw whatever they want regardless of trauma that would supposedly "give them a right to" because you simply don't know if someone is coping or not (no matter how they portray the dynamic). You can't tell that unless you ask, which you have no right to. You were upset that you had to "justify" yourself by bringing up your trauma. How were you planning to determine whether some portrayals are ok if you literally can't unless you interrogate people about it? You clearly see some of the things you drew were breaching that line in what is allowed in fiction for others, so what is your right to judge what someone else draws? Where is the line you draw? I was hoping there would be some room for you to learn from this situation but I guess that just won't happen.

Maybe it should be important to point to me where I told people to kill themselves because I do not recall giving a response like this at all (unless you meant that one time where I said I was gonna start saying kys in Arabic if anyone kept dragging this on unnecessarily, which was an obvious joke because I didnt even end up saying it anyway, and I clarified that I didnt want to say it because I knew it was a bad idea) Meanwhile people have comfortably and openly told me to kill myself and slit my wrists over this for as long as I can remember. I also looked up the definition of shipping and it quite literally says it's the desire of wanting two characters to be in a romantic relationship, which is not how I've been interpreting them. But if "shipping" has another definition then it's whatever to me now. I just didnt want people to talk to me about Reigen reciprocating feelings because that's where it gets into a territory that I cannot handle.

I also think youre misunderstanding my words, and I dont know if youre doing it on purpose. I never said that people "shouldn't" be drawing things I dont like. I simply said that I found it weird and I dont agree with it, and I am entitled to have my own opinion just like how you're entitled to have yours about how you find me weird or whatever else. Im not going to show up to your house and force you to stop drawing whatever you want, I'll just think youre weird in my head and move on to something else. You cannot control people's thoughts, people are going to think many things about you and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it, so actions are what matter most. I dont give a shit about what people think of me, and you shouldnt care either. Yall have been pestering me over something as insignificant as me labeling art "non-cp" (which was 100% true back then since my interpretation was different compared to now), and when I clearly didnt want to answer random people about it, yall still kept going and took it publicly for whatever reason because you werent satisfied with my answer about my own drawings. Im mad about people making this a bigger deal than it should be instead of complaining privately or moving on with their lives, not about their perception of me, because Im fully aware that many people hate me, and I dont have time nor the energy to prove myself to every single person. It's that simple. So I repeat, if there's a specific person who wishes to discuss this with me, then they can message me privately to have a normal conversation. Because right now this can easily be interpreted as someone who's only looking to cause drama and refusing to actually address whatever problem you have with me with how vague your statements have been.

I'm not gonna say I'm disappointed because of the obvious minorei but you've been throwing proshippers under the bus for a long time and now trying to act like it's all fine because you're coping. So are others. Some aren't and that's fine. I just wish you could apologize like you have always had the audacity to demand from others

I don't agree with many things you're saying, but I appreciate the message regardless. For one I don't see them being mutually romantic, so Im not even sure if it counts as shipping, but I dont think my opinion matters anymore now that people have built their own perceptions. I said before that I don't agree with people who draw these things purely for the sake of a fetish, and since I often cant tell the difference online and dont want to be intrusive by asking about it, then I just block the content that makes me uncomfortable. I dont think it's "fine" to portray topics like this in a positive light either, but if it's not used to harm a real person then I can just avoid it. I don't identify as a proshipper because I dont believe there are absolutely no limits when it comes to fiction, and Ive already been sent death and rape threats in the past by proshippers so I dont think they consider me one of them anyway. Neither do "antis" like me since theyre doing the same thing right now, so Im not picking any sides for this reason. If theres a specific person who seeks an apology for something I said about them in the past, then they are free to message me privately because I cannot recall a situation that is similar to what you're referring to.

ignore the haters and keep doing your amazing art 💪

Thank you...? 💪 I havent received hate in a long time Lol but whenever I do I just block the message and move on with my life ☀️ but thank you for the support 🫶💜

[laithraihan]

how exactly do you view Reigen and Minori..? Please, at some point explain it. Also I’m curious as to how you got to the point of portraying/interpreting them in this way as it’s very different from what happened in the actual series . No hate; just to clarify, I like your art a lot but I’m curious and confused

They're my two favorite mp100 characters and I like to draw my favorite characters. That's pretty much all you need to know.
