Y'all, please keep an eye out for these scams. I know so many of y'all have good intentions but we are internet people and we know that people lie, cheat, steal, and hurt just to get what they want. You can't trust whatever is on the internet just because you support, love, or care about it. Okay? Not all the post from the people in Gaza are scammers but please, let's keep each other safe from these disgusting people who are lying to steal your money.

Some quick tips to spotting accounts that are pretending to be a Palestinian needing mutual aid. Please keep in mind that not all of them are scam accounts, and that some may legitimate blogs who just aren’t too knowledgeable on how tumblr works. This guide is based around what I go by when checking certain blogs and usually it’s a quick giveaway the blog is a scam.

Please read this post too from my other blog before you tell people don’t donate to gfms:

1. You was sent the ask as someone who regularly shares Palestine related content such as regular news updates of posts by other Palestinians who are regularly giving updates. You may also get these asks from sharing a popular post that is from the Palestine tag. If you post often about Palestine, you will always start getting these asks. These askers don’t care if you state don’t send the asks. They will anyway. Unfortunately minors also get sent asks.

2. The ask has odd formatting such as having odd quotation marks in it or unusual formatting that may indicate it’s been edited and copied from somewhere else. Often the ask is the same thing as the post itself minus a link to a donation site. These asks rarely change so searching it should pull up if it’s been sent to other bloggers and sometimes the asks are edited only to add new phrases to them in time.

3. The account is almost always a few days old or a week old or long depending on how often they have sent asks. Usually some may even be an hour old and reusing a familiar pfp/ask.

4. The blog has a few Palestine related posts or posts from random tags reblogged to pad out length and then no more. They will have no original posts besides the pinned post while occasionally answering asks that they may have received but otherwise nothing else and no further updates given either.

5. They may have a Linktree link that is called “GoFundMe” as if indicating they have a GoFundMe there. However, they don’t. When clicked on, the Linktree actually goes to a PayPal account whose name may not even match the one their supposed name is. They’ll say it’s a friend, but it’s just the same person not someone else. You’ll see this same name across multiple accounts after a while usually giving away it’s not legitimate even under a different theme.

6. The text used by the blogs are often real stories stolen from legitimate fundraisers and searching parts of it in your preferred search engine should pull up the sources. These sources make no mention of a tumblr account either or don’t have the PayPal account associated with them in the info. Scammers often impersonate a real person in need and will ignore you if you show them the source they copied from.

7. Legitimate Palestinians often link to their own GoFundMe posts that their friends have set up or post links to other social platforms they are found on. They will regularly post updates when possible, post sources to support them when necessary, and also generally have some method of verifying their legitimacy. They may often share links to support others as well or give links to charities that have been shown as reliable. They will have more original posts than just a single pinned one and regularly speak to other tumblr accounts beyond just an ask. Please don’t bother them with asks about possible scam accounts. There are many guides out there that can do that for you if you search. You may find verified fundraisers too.

8. Scammers don’t know anything about Palestine and will often have trouble once you ask them anything beyond the mutual aid post. They don’t know the languages decently and you can tell it pretty easily if you’re one who uses it regularly. Whatever the scammers use is often just copied off the site they got the post from. Sometimes the text is just reused from past scams such as asking for insulin that doesn’t last long.

9. These scammers can and will use names stolen off real Palestinians to look more legitimate and trustworthy. They change names constantly once one of their PayPal accounts is shut down.

10. If you do see a GoFundMe link on a blog, don’t immediately assume it’s a scam just because it’s a relatively new account. Check the post notes to see if anyone’s verified the account yet or wait a bit as it takes time. You likely can search around to see if anyone’s posted anything where the blog has been vetted by others. You may also see if the GoFundMe is referred to on other socials or on lists that compile verified and vetted fundraisers.

Please don’t let these scams deter you from sending support where it needs to go. Even if you can’t donate personally, there are other ways to help. If you are sending money, please make sure that it’s going to where it’s needed and the place it’s sent has been verified accordingly. If you find a blog is a scammer, and have been able to prove it, please make sure to alert anyone sharing the post and report the account.

Nightcrawler Fanfiction

Here's a few fanfictions with Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler as the main character. Since's he's not in X-Men '97 enough. These are one's that I have found over the years and enjoy quite a bit. Bonus, they are all completed. (Some are from Fanfiction.net and some are from AO3) These mainly range from X-men Evolution and the X-men movies.

Kurt of the Brotherhood Kurt is ordered to leave his home in Bavaria, and travel to America, to meet with his biological mother and the Brotherhood of Evil mutants. While he initially dislikes everything about the new life that was forced upon him, he does grow to like the X-Men, particularly a young female with the ability to phase through objects... https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10818048/1/Kurt-of-the-Brotherhood

Like Father, Like Son? Mystique stands on the bridge, holding the crying baby in her arms. The wolves had finally caught up to her. Taking a step back, she stumbles, and accidentally drops the baby over the edge! "NO!" She screams, turning around just in time to see a flash of red smoke, followed by the smell of sulfur. AU What if Kurt had been raised by his real father, Azazel? https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10412314/6/Like-Father-Like-Son

Salem Bayville YAY! Productions presents: Salem Bayville Revised! Mutants are witches, witches are burned! The story of Kurt and Amanda's love, trialed by fire, memory loss, and...Azazel! You liked it originally, you'll love it now! See how Kurt & Amanda actually met & fell in love! Extreme detailed account! https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8194381/1/Salem-Bayville

If I Fell Kurt's mysterious past finally catches up with him, but with these revelations comes a much darker foe. Will his fellow X-Men be able to save Kurt from his inner demons? https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5375373/1/If-I-Fell

The Demon of Bayville – An XMen Evolution, Beauty Set in an Alternative Universe, with elements from both the X-Men Evolution and comic universe, the Demon of Bayville has become a creature of myth and legend. Kitty Pryde, a young and inexperienced X-woman is sent on a mission to destroy this creature. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6578172/1/The-Demon-of-Bayville-An-XMen-Evolution-Beauty

I'm Not a Demon, I'm Not What was the real reason Kurt didn't tell anyone he was a mutant in Day of Recovery? What if there was more to it than he just wanted to be seen as normal for a while longer? Here is what might have happened. No pairings. Violence in later chapters. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4258340/1/I-m-Not-a-Demon-I-m-Not I highly recommend this one. It's my favorite!

Baby Blue Marie wanted a baby, she just didn't expect to find one in the river. Baby!Kurt fic one-shot EDITED https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4370992/1/Baby-Blue

Gone Mystique can't get over the night when she dropped Kurt in the river. She visits her yearold son and secretly watches him, wondering if they belong in each other's lives. Just a short, cute little Kurt and Mystique story https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1744079/1/Gone

Spanish Moss This is a whumptober fic. Kurt Wagner has left home for the first time, to pursue a job with a Florida circus that from the outside, seems like a great deal. He'll get to travel parts of the world he's never seen before, all while performing aerial stunts as a flyer in the circus. Until he arrives and realizes this circus isn't as great as it seems. https://archiveofourown.org/works/50473174

It's Nice to Have a Friend Kitty's first days at the Xavier Institute: getting caught up on the sophomore English syllabus, awkwardly making friends with the German exchange student/fellow baby X-Man, and trying to figure out what strange blue creature is haunting the halls of the Institute at night. https://archiveofourown.org/works/23365669/chapters/55982974

this sky, too, is folding under you Nice things keep happening to Kurt. He wants to know why. https://archiveofourown.org/works/8657479

Human Touch An alternative beginning on how Apocalypse Kurt joined the X men. No pairings, just lots of friendship and cuddling https://archiveofourown.org/works/7701067/chapters/17546311 This one is surprising cute.

Like Looking into a Mirror With the rest of the Brotherhood gone or captured, Raven is alone when she gives birth to her son, a beautiful young boy with blue skin and yellow eyes - a boy who will never fit in with the wider public. So, she decides to leave him with a circus where he will be safe. For the next few years, Raven fights for her people and never looks back. That is, until the threat of En Sabah Nur and his horsemen once again reunites her with Charles, with Erik - and with her son, a member of Charles' new X-Men. And if there is anything Charles is good at, it's bringing lost children and parents back together. https://archiveofourown.org/works/32765203

I'm ready.

Alright, TADC, great episode. Now Monkie Kid season 5, we are ready for you!!!

Hazbin Hotel

I want to talk about Hazbin Hotel as a Christian. I have been religious my entire life. I believe Jesus died on the Cross and rose again in three days. If you don't agree with me, I don't care. I am happy being a disciple. I am happy with my religion.

Now, I have been seeing that some religious people are criticizing it from a religious POV. If you see anyone doing that, don't let that shape your view of other religious people. They are not truly righteous if they are looking at it in that lens. I know the show is based of an idea that Viv made up. It's not affecting me, my view of Lucifer, Adam and Eve, heaven, hell, etc. It's not doing any of that. In fact, I am proud and happy of Viv and how far she has come in her journey as an artist. Making a pilot on YouTube then getting the change from A24 to make her idea a reality is amazing. Go Indie animation! (We got a win, Y'all!)

I really enjoy Hazbin Hotel. It's well animated, has a fun cast, and great music. I do have a problem with the pacing but I don't blame Viv or her team. (Eight episodes is not enough to tell a story like this. Hopefully season two has more episodes.) Some songs are't... great and some are absolute BANGERS and some things that were revealed were revealed fast. But these are the kind of criticism that are deserved and needed. There is nothing wrong with criticism and everyone, from artists, musicians, and authors alike must accept it.

So, yeah. This has been on my mind for a while and I just wanted to say something about it.
