Hi world, it’s Eman Please read this as if I’m a member of your family, may be your sister , daughter or a friend and as if my family who’s under death now is yours.Today, I reach out with a heavy heart and a place for your kindness and support . I am not just seeking to fundraise. I am seeking to save the lives of my beloved family members who are currently trapped in a nightmare. All of whom depend on your generosity to escape Gaza Strip to Egypt , get the medical help needed and begin a new life where we are seeking safety. This is me Eman
Tumblr media
My name is Eman , a girl in her thirties (39- years old) and a computer science graduate .Iam speaking from the heart of Gaza, a place that was once vibrant with life and has now become painfully marked by the effects of wars that spared no war. I live with my mother, Etemad (60 years old ) and my father, Saed (70 years old . My mother and my father
Tumblr media
My sister Khaleda is ( 41 years old ) She has four children. Three sons .Saed ,3 years old. Abdul Rahman, 5 years old ,and Adam, 9 years old .Her daughter, Lyan, is (4 years old) .
Tumblr media
Khaleda's Children
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Iam suffering of one of the most common generic disorders which is thalassaemia. It’s so tiring and difficult disease. And due to the war, I lack medical care and treatments. My health is getting worse and deteriorating as treatment became insufficient. Iam in need to plasma exchange regularly ,the thing that my family find so difficult because of blockage and destruction of hospitals , in addition to the risks of going out our shelters every day as the bombs everywhere . My family deserve the opportunity to live a full life. I can’t bear the thought of losing any member of them.
Tumblr media
My father, Saed, is suffering from heart disease .He has blockage of the heart arteries . Doctors advised him not to expose himself to the news and events that affect his mental and physical health. He urgently needs to undergo the necessary tests and surgery.
Tumblr media
My mother, Etemad, has chronic diseases (blood pressure and diabetes ) . She needs regular follow up and medical treatment .She is struggling to obtain the necessary medications , waiting too long in clinics for subpar alternatives if found.
My family and I were very close knit enjoying simple pleasure and cherishing moment together. Now all that remains are memories scattered among the rubble of our destroyed home in Gaza. We witnessed death with our own eyes and were forced to flee our home in fear of our lives .During this time , we also received the news of the deaths of several relatives and friends due to indiscriminate bombardments. Now, I find Myself with my family displaced in a plastic tent in Al-Zawaydah , our last refuge, living inhuman conditions and enduring unimaginable hardships along the way.
We’re currently sleeping on the ground in a tent that does not protect us from the heat of summer or the cold of winter . We are located there ,with no access to essential items like clean drinking water , electricity , healthy food and cooking gas .Death and destruction followed us everywhere , Our home was bombed and bulldozed and our hopes and dreams were shattered along with it .We are enduring a suffering that is beyond anything you can imagine. Me with my family are in a very critical situation in tents .Tasks are divided among us to sustain ourselves. My father fetches water if ever found from a distant area early every morning. My mother cooks and washes our clothes using traditional methods .This is why we are asking for your help, as we are still in danger in South Gaza and can’t receive the medical care needed. Our new life in tents
Tumblr media
Since the beginning of Israel’s assault on Gaza, we were forced to evacuate several times leaving behind our home and the future we had been working towards. Walking without carrying our personal belongings, our clothes or even money in search of a safe place until we managed to escape to the south of Gaza Strip .
Tumblr media
Gaza, a place that I call home has been transformed into a landscape of destructions and despair . The reality we live in is one of the constant fear, where the sounds of explosions drown out the dreams and aspirations of its people .In what seems like an instant , everything my family and I held there had been ripped away by the chaos of war . A side of our suffering in tents
Tumblr media
This campaign is not just about escaping Gaza. It’s about reclaiming a future where my family can live without the shadow of fear , where we can get the medical care and treatment needed and where we can once again embrace the joys of life without grief . The price of leaving Gaza is high and far beyond my family means. so I have initiated this fundraising campaign to urgently gather funds to help my family leave Gaza as soon as possible. The funds collected will be carefully allocated for the following purposes: Firstly , it will contribute to providing a safe passage to Egypt , which is a vital step for the family’s safety. Secondly: covering the medical treatment. Costs and medications for me , my father and my mother . In addition to the need for comprehensive examinations in Egypt to ensure our safety after the war. Thirdly : the funds will be allocated to provide temporary accommodation for the family in Egypt, giving them stability and the opportunity to explore the best path for their future . Finally , it will cover initial living expenses in Egypt granting the family the time and space needed to relax and rebuild their lives after the ordeal of the genocide in Gaza .
Eman's family has only raised $610 USD out of $50,000 goal. Please support the family by sharing. Donate if you can

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
synopsis: Gojo blames you for the first-years' disaster that the higher-ups caused.
pairing: Gojo Satoru x gn! reader
genre: hurt/comfort, angst to fluff
warnings: mention of death/a corpse, yelling, heavy feelings of self-blame, stuttering (it makes sense here tho I promise), emotionally constipated Gojo, mention of not eating for an extended period of time/being hungry (due to the situation), manga spoilers!! (star plasma vessel arc), indirect confessions
word count: 5.2k
notes: There are some slightly non-canon details. I’m pretty sure that Nanami and Yuji don’t know each other at this point, but let’s pretend they do. Also, I’m insinuating a more seasoned bond between Gojo and Yuji/reader and Yuji - let’s also pretend that they’ve been teaching Yuji for longer at this point, for more angst potential. :) LAST THING - you used to be a very mediocre child/adolescent actor in a few small/bad films. Only relevant for one detail.
Also, Gojo may be a bit ooc here - possibly overdramatic in his wordings - but I really wanted to write a Gojo that loses control of his emotions, since I think it'd be difficult to elicit such a reaction from him. I hope it suits him okay!!
Tumblr media
GOJO HAS ALWAYS had a soft spot for you. In high school, he would regularly volunteer himself to take your blame, even though you never asked him to do it and would practically begged him not to. But, he was frustratingly persistent and would do it despite your many protests. If you ever cheated on an assignment, Gojo would claim he copied yours. If you fumbled during a mission, Gojo would lie in the report. If you both snuck out and got caught, Gojo would say he dragged you out with force. Whenever you would have an argument with someone, Gojo would comfort you afterwards, insisting the other person was in the wrong even when they obviously weren’t.
Although he has eventually ramped down this ridiculous treatment over the years, you will never forget this boyish idiosyncrasy from your younger days.
Today, however, it’s like those days never even existed. You don't recognize the person standing in front of you. You can’t blame him for his reaction – it's wholly natural – but it still jars you.
Today, you fucked up. You fucked up so badly that there's a very permanent, unchangeable consequence to your actions – or rather, your lack thereof. The consequence of your stupidity, the result of your thoughtlessness, lies unmoving in this room. The body of Itadori Yuji, separated from reality only by the thin plastic covering of a body bag, rests on a table only feet from where you stand.
His mentor, one sworn to protecting his students, sworn to delaying his impending execution as much as possible, stands before you. His signature blindfold obscures his eyes, and you can only imagine the wild, swirling gaze you would be faced with in its absence.
Yuji’s mentor – your long time close friend, who has never blamed you in any great capacity for anything through the entirety of your friendship – now looks at you scathingly.
“What the fuck were you thinking?” He spits, tone icy.
He's not looking at you as he rigidly hovers over the operating table, but you can feel the intensity of his emotions despite the distance. Words fall out of your brain, and you struggle to string together a cohesive thought.
“I-" You try to swallow the lump in your throat. “The higher-ups told me not to go with them, I don’t know wh–"
He barks out a harsh laugh, cutting off your pathetic excuse. His head is in his hands, fingers roughly carding through his disheveled hair. He pauses in his ministrations to face you: he is suddenly towering over you, broad frame filling even the corners of your vision.
“Are you fucking kidding me?!” He growls. “Did you stop to think for even a second? Why would they ever ask a teacher to stay behind?”
Tears begin to slide down you cheeks. You quickly wipe them away and will your building urge to break down to go away.
He sighs, his breath leaving him loudly and aggressively. “I don’t understand how this happened. You know how this works, (Y/N)! You know how the higher-ups are!”
“I’m sorry,” You choke out quietly, voice stretched and thin. “I’m sorry.”
“Sorry doesn’t bring him back, (Y/N)!” Gojo shouts.
Shoko and Ijichi are silent. Shoko is looking at the ground, her stony expression difficult to determine. Shoko, your friend who always sticks up for you no matter what, especially when dealing with Gojo. Shoko, who hasn’t spoken a single word to you since you arrived. For once, she agrees with him.
Your eyes land on the black body bag laying on the operating table, and you can’t hold it back any longer. Your legs weaken underneath you and you begin to shake. The sobs you’ve been suppressing rip out of your throat. Ugly, choking sobs.
Nobody moves to comfort you. If anything, Gojo’s scowl deepens, and Shoko turns away at your display of emotion.
“I know,” You sob. “I know it doesn’t. I know it's my fault.”
You take a few shaky breaths. “I didn’t know- I didn’t mean for it to happen- I- it’s my fault.”
He slides his blindfold down, pinching the bridge of his nose between his fingers. You are about to blurt something else out, but before the words can leave your tongue, you catch his gaze and you’re immediately frozen. His boiling blue irises steal your breath and leave you rooted to the spot. Never in your life have you seen him this angry or even display this much emotion.
“If you keep standing there and crying, I think I’m going to kill something,” He says lowly.
“Gojo,” Shoko interjects in a warning tone.
Gojo bites back, “Why not? We all want the higher-ups gone. It’d be so easy. Shit like this wouldn’t happen anymore.”
Ijichi pales. Shoko roughly says, “Are you crazy?”
He doesn’t answer, and the determined look on his face isn’t necessarily comforting. It seems a storm is brewing – the most powerful sorcerer is being driven to a point.
You’re reaching a point, too – your breaking point. You feel like you can’t breathe. When you inhale, your lungs refuse to inflate past the shallowest of breaths. It’s all hitting you now, clear thoughts rising past the fog of adrenaline that overwhelmed your mind. The reality is that you fucked up, and it’s not fixable.
You fucked up, and there’s no going back in time to change your decision, to go against orders to stay with your students. There’s no way to bring Yuji back.
“Why are you still here?” Gojo says with an exasperated huff, addressing you directly. “Seeing you only adds to my anger.”
You say nothing, your mind occupied only with your regrets. He frowns and tries again.
"Unless you want to dive further into this preventable death," He says coldly. "Leave. There's still a job to be done.”
You barely hear his words. Your brain doesn’t have the energy to collect them, to interpret them, as it hyper-fixates on the horrible hole forming in your heart. Your eyes are wide, pupils enlarged, and you are visibly quivering.
“Didn’t you hear me? You need to leave!” Gojo growls, frustrated at your lack of reaction, believing it to be indifference.
“They must be in shock, Gojo,” Shoko murmurs. “They’re shutting down.”
Shoko’s diagnosis is indeed correct. You don’t hear a single word that comes out of their mouths; your shoulders and heart have grown heavy, leaden, from knowing the fate you led your students to. One deceased, two severely injured. All because of a risk you did not take, an order you did not disobey.
Yuji’s bright smile burns into the back of your eyes, a reminder of what you’ve lost, of the ultimate mistake.
One second, your eyes are on the black body bag, and the next second you can’t see anything, your vision blurred by tears and by speed. You’re running, you realize, legs pumping as fast as they can. Your lungs ache and your legs cramp up, but you can’t will yourself to stop. You can’t think. You can’t catch your breath.
When you inevitably collapse, you don’t know where you are or how much time has passed. It’s just a patch of grass damp with dew, a few maple trees dotting the banks of a small neighboring stream. You’re laying under one of these trees, your arms outstretched so your fingers can comb through the cool, wet blades of grass. You’re vaguely aware the the sun set at some point after you left. Maybe it’s been a hour, or a few more. You have no idea.
You want to scream, you want to cry, but you don’t. You can’t; it won’t come. When his grinning face and determined smile taunt you, reminding you of your sins, you can only screw your eyes shut, willing the torture to end.
Wetness finally runs down your face, and you taste salt. It is oddly comforting. Your hands repeatedly grab the gentle grass, numbing your mind until exhaustion eventually overtakes you.
Tumblr media
There’s a buzzing filling your brain. You groan and roll over, reaching out to your bedside table to grab the offending object. You startle at the feeling of sharp gravel under your fingertips – it’s unpleasantly damp, as well, leaving muddy residue on your hands.
The buzzing starts again, and this time you clearly feel the vibrations through your leg. You sit up, scooting back until your back firmly hits the tree trunk behind you, and force your tired eyelids to part. You have to squint, as the sun has already risen and has crossed the sky a fair amount – it must be approaching noon already.
When the buzzing persists, you grumpily rip the phone out of your pocket. It’s not an alarm, as you had expected. In fact, you startle at the caller ID: Gojo Satoru.
You stare at your phone blankly, your brain buffering. You ultimately let it ring out, although your finger hovers over the answer button. Once the screen fades to your usual background, your throat goes dry. Missed calls from Shoko, Nanami, and Gojo fill your screen. You quickly skim the accompanying texts and wince.
Shoko <3: I know we’re all upset, but we shouldn’t have taken it out on you…just let me know you’re alright, okay? (10:43 pm)
‘Nanamin’: I heard what happened. It isn’t your fault, (Y/N), no matter what anyone says. Call me if you need anything. (6:26 am)
Satoru: Where are you? (11:34 pm)
Satoru: Pick up (11:59 pm)
Satoru: please (12:03 am)
Satoru: I fucked up. I need to talk to you, please let me (12:05 am)
Satoru: I understand if you don’t want to talk to me, but let someone, anyone, know you’re alright… (7:12 am)
Satoru: Megumi just told me he tried to visit you but you still weren’t home. (Y/N), please…say anything…I need to know that you’re okay (11:17 am)
It all rushes back to you: your lethal mistake, the deserved reaction you received from your two best friends, how you shamefully ran away. Fuck. There’s no way you can face any of them, especially not Megumi.
You wish this never happened. Hot tears burn your cheeks again; your eyes flood with regret. Shame quickly floods through you, making you feel hot all over. How can you feel sorry for yourself when it was your fault in the first place?
You roughly wipe your face with your sleeve and stick your phone back into your pocket. There’s no way you can respond right now. It’s bound to die soon, anyway, so there’s no point in trying.
You don’t want to move from where you sit. You want to sink into the ground and stay there until the horrible feeling inside you goes away. But…
“What if it doesn’t?” You whisper those words out into the universe, a sinking feeling in your gut telling you the answer.
You want to cry more, allow yourself to shed more tears, but you don’t. You wobbly stand up, and are surprised at how weak you are. When was the last time you ate – yesterday morning, before the disastrous mission?
You have to go home. You can’t stay here, in the middle of nowhere, neglecting yourself. It’s a thought that rings in your head and won’t leave you alone until you decide to listen. Okay. You will go home. You can manage that.
It takes a while, but you find your way back to your apartment. Last night, you had apparently meandered into an expanse of empty land neighboring the school, as you pass by Jujutsu Tech on your way back. It is a bit off the beaten path – you doubt anyone has ever intentionally gone where you ended up last night.
During your journey home, you have to reference your Google Maps app a few times, but you somehow successfully get back home, despite your directional challenges and weakened state.
Until you step into your apartment, you don’t realize how cold you are. Your feet are numb from being cold and wet, your toes icy when you peel the damp socks off. You cringe at how unaware you have been at your body for the past 24 hours: your mental state ignored all physical needs.
Your stumble to your bedroom, aching body screaming for a rest. You relent easily, collapsing on your bed face first. You’re so grimy and covered in remnants of the dirt bed you laid in last night, evidence of your outside stay covering your clothing. Bits of twigs and leaves invite themselves into your sheets – you couldn’t care less right now, though. You don’t even think about it.
On instinct, you plug your dead phone in without even looking. There’s silence for a minute or two before it whirs back to life, the screen flashing at your tired eyes.
There’s another message waiting to be opened.
Megumi: Come back soon, sensei. He’s getting unsufferable
Megumi:…more than usual
A hoarse chuckle leaves your throat, the first laugh that’s left you since the whole incident. You sigh immediately after though, as you begin to wonder how Megumi has been dealing with everything. If you hadn’t run away, then…
Your head is in your hands again. No matter what path your thinking strays down, you keep returning to your immense guilt over what happened.
You wish you were mad at someone. You wish that you felt angry at Gojo, but you aren’t – you can’t be. In your eyes, he wasn’t wrong; how could you be mad at him when you agree?
You’re not mad, but there’s this other unpleasant feeling. It feels like one of Nobara’s nails has been lodged in your chest, and every time you think about his reaction, the nail twists a little deeper into your heart. He’s never yelled at you before. That hurt.
It’s understandable, but it still hurts.
Gojo…You don’t think you can face him yet, but he may come to you if your radio silence continues. Maybe you should just get it over with and call him. You can just tell him you’re alive and hang up. That should suffice.
Without thinking further on it, you grab your phone and dial his number. Within two rings, the line connects.
“Yo, (Y/N)! Long time no hear!” His chirpy voice booms through your speakers. He’s back to his usual self – overly casual and full of mirth. He sounds way too cheerful; it throws you off guard.
A sharp inhale leaves you as you’re about to tell him that you’re fine and to not worry, so that you can hang up and avoid him. But, nothing comes out. Everything you thought of saying flies out of your brain. You’re left wordless, mouth hanging open.
“You there? (Y/N)?”
You shake your head, coming to your senses.
“Yes,” The single word that leaves you is weak and breathy.
“You good? Are you home now?”
“Yeah. Home now. I’m alive, so no need to bother checking in on me,” You say thoughtlessly.
God, that was lame. You can’t help but cringe at what you just said. It’s what you intended to convey, yes, but that’s not how you wanted to say it.
“Just alive? Sounds real peppy over there!” He chuckles. “I was going to come over anyway, but you’ve really pushed it over the edge.”
“Ah,” You say somewhat panicked, searching for a way out of this. “There’s really no need. I just need rest so there’s no need. I’ll see you later, then.”
“You mean soon!” He chirps before you can hang up. You groan into your pillow; this is exactly what you had been trying to avoid. How are you even going to look at him?
You’ve just put your phone back on your nightstand when there’s sudden footsteps approaching your bedroom. Before you can think further, the door is flung upon and a familiar figure appears before you.
“Ultimate best friend Gojo Satoru has arrived! Everyone applaud!”
A series of small claps ensues, while you just stare on in silence and disgruntlement. A wide smile stretches across his face at your displeased expression.
“C’mon angel, not even a single clap? That’s cold.”
You roll your eyes, but only half-heartedly. The gesture is so pathetically slight that Gojo’s smile falls a fraction. You don’t have much emotional energy to expend on humoring him, it seems. Because of him.
It’s then that he fully takes in your appearance. Tear stained cheeks, dirt caking your clothes and body, scraps of organic material matted in your hair and clinging to all parts of you. There’s even smudges of dirt around your eyes where you’ve attempted to wipe away tears.
He questions your appearance, trying to appear lighthearted, “Was the forest calling you? You really didn’t sleep here?”
You immediately feel self-conscious of your appearance and cross your arms. You manage out a quiet, “Something like that.”
“No, seriously…where did you sleep?” He probes, this time lacking the lightheaded tone.
A weak, sheepish smile appears on your lips, “Ah…the ground? You were right, I guess.”
He blinks. You rub the back of your head and avoid eye contact, softly laughing an awkward little chuckle.
“Seriously?” He asks, but it lacks any judgment. He is truly just in disbelief.
You just nod.
“Hey, are you…are you sure you’re okay?”
You weren’t expecting that. You wish he would stay in his childish mindset – these real questions are worse.
You breathe out slowly, “I mean…yeah. I’m fine.”
It’s not a very convincing delivery, but it was the best you could manage. The corners of his lips turn down slightly, almost unnoticeably, but he doesn’t comment on your answer. He knows he should question you further, dig a little deeper, but he doesn’t.
Instead, he excuses himself, “I’ll be right back. Just stay put! I’ll know if you move, so you better not move an inch.”
He raises two fingers to his eyes, then directs them to you, clearly saying ‘I have my eyes on you!’
It’s amusing - he’s always amusing - but when you try to smile, your lips just flatline. You can’t tell if he notices, since he has already turned away and walked into the bathroom, but you hope he couldn’t tell.
When he returns, he’s holding a dampened washcloth.
“Bath time!” He says, shaking the cloth excitedly in front of you. You flinch a little as a few stray drops of water unexpectedly land on you, which he lightly laughs at.
And then he begins swiping away the dirt that has accumulated on your body. He starts with your face. He’s on his knees, one elbow resting on the space neighboring your right thigh, leaning in to have more control with the cloth. You close your eyes when his face comes within inches of yours - too close. Even when you feel as horrible as you do now, your heart won’t stop thumping quickly against your ribs, as if it cannot deny those deeply hidden feelings you harbor.
He hums while he works, gently dabbing all the places where you have visible dirt. It’s comforting, or at least it should be. You heart begins to clench tightly, and you so badly want a hole to appear in the ground to swallow you up.
“Gojo, why are you being so nice now?” You ask, voice small. “I don’t really deserve it. I’d…prefer the alternative. This feels wrong right now.”
He sets down the cloth, wincing at your pitiful words. Is that how you really feel?
He pauses. He’s not good at this sort of thing – acknowledging other people’s vulnerability, lowering his own walls to empathize with others, any of it. He hates it. He hates how emotionally he acted yesterday, he hates how it has affected you.
“No,” He sighs. He speaks slowly as he carefully chooses his words, “I…shouldn’t have acted like that yesterday. It wasn’t fair to you.”
Your bottom lip trembles, but you force yourself not to cry, “It’s okay. I don’t blame you for it. Everyone was thinking it.”
He tries to catch your eye, but your gaze is downcast. He ducks, lowering himself to the ground even more, to enter your field of vision.
“Hey,” He says softly. “Do you trust me?”
Your brow furrows; you don’t understand why he’s asking you that. You feel yourself nodding, though.
“Everything I said yesterday,” He starts, but then shakes his head at himself. “No, everything I yelled at you yesterday – it was misdirected. What happened wasn’t your fault. There was no way of knowing what was about to happen.”
“But now, it’s obvious,” You mumble. “I should have known.”
“Hindsight is twenty-twenty. You were following orders. The ones assigning the orders are at fault, not you.”
You grab your sheets with tight fists. You turn your head to the side, away from his invisible gaze, “Orders that were obviously suspect. It’s still my fault as an experienced sorcerer.”
Gojo’s chest constricts. You sound exactly like he did yesterday; the consequences of his actions echo back to him from your mouth.
“I promise it’s not,” He insists, but it falls on deaf ears. “I’ve made mistakes too. I’ve made mistakes, but you never treated me like I treated you yesterday.”
Gojo clenches his teeth. This is hard. He hates bringing up this side of the past, but he’ll do it for you.
“You never judged me for what happened during the Star Plasma Vessel mission. Even though you wanted to leave that night, and I ignored you, you never blamed me.”
“You were seventeen,” You say quietly, shakily. “We were all kids. That was over a decade ago.”
“But you knew how to make it better,” He says breathlessly. “And you never even once insinuated that it was my fault.”
You smile sadly at him, and your next words are sure and immediate, “Because it wasn’t.”
Gojo’s mouth hangs open for a second, still amazed at the understanding and kindness that so easily shine through you even in the darkest moments.
He reaches out for your hands, unsure, and squeezes them when he finds them. “Can I…can I start over ? From yesterday?”
You blink blankly, not completely understanding, but give a hesitant nod anyway.
He exhales deeply and lowers his head to your hands until his forehead brushes your fingertips. It’s completely unexpected, and you freeze upon contact. His head is bowed to you – embarrassment and confusion flood you.
You are relieved when he raises his head to speak.
“What happened with our students isn’t your fault,” He says quietly but with conviction. “It’s the work of the higher ups - it’s their fault, nobody else’s. I’m…”
He pauses. Words he never says need to come out.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry that this happened while you were here and I was away, I’m sorry that I blamed you for things out of your control. This was never your fault.”
You are silent. You say nothing. You don’t move. Your expression stays blank.
He panics. He takes your silence as a sign of not being forgiven – which is not what he fears, in fact he doesn’t want to be forgiven. But he doesn’t want to lose you, and that’s exactly what he thinks has happened. Did he completely sever the bond spanning more than a decade?
“I understand if you can’t forgive me, but,” He swallows thickly, the anxious feeling rising. “But I hope this doesn’t…”
He tries again, “I hope our friendship…I hope you- I don’t want to lose you after all we-”
“Satoru – it’s not that,” You say quickly. “You haven’t, I promise. I have already forgiven you. I forgave you from the moment it started.”
You close your eyes, clenching them shut. You don’t want to cry again. “It’s just that…even if I’m not directly at fault, Yuji is still dead. Our student is dead. Despite anything that can be said of the situation, that fact will not change.”
He really shouldn’t tell you this. He needs to, but he shouldn’t.
“Do you trust me?” He says again, voice only a whisper. He’s even closer now, only inches away. A hand raises to ease his blindfold down so that it rests loosely around his neck.
Your eyes on his are so clear, and reveal so much – surprised by his bare gaze, confusion clear in your beautiful eyes he finally can see so clearly up close.
“Of course,” You whisper breathlessly. “Always have.”
“Close your eyes, and hold on,” He says. “Don’t want you getting lost again, angel.”
You know what that means. Teleportation. But where could he be taking you that is so important right now? Maybe somewhere he knows you like to calm you down?
You’re taken aback by the rush of air around you even though you’ve traveled like this many times.
The few uncomfortable moments in the strange vortex allow you to question where be could be possibly be taking you. Before you can decide on an answer, however, the roar in your ears subsides, and you are steadied by his grip around your shoulders. He's so close again, wisps of his soft hair tickling your neck. One of his large hands drops down to clutch yours. You’re ashamed about now nice it all feels in such a situation.
Then all that slips away and you're immediately on guard - there's another cursed presence nearby.
“Gojo-sensei, you’re back? That movie was kind of weird and bad, but I swear that one character was (L/N)-sensei. Do they have a twin or something?”
Your eyes pop open. Your hand falls out of Gojo’s as your grip completely goes slack. That voice…Youthful, full of energy and a kind innocence. It could only be...
Gojo responds ecstatically, dramatically, “Ah, but of course not! I have brought an honored guest! An old time Hollywood star whose home was the red carpet! The famed, the budding talent, (Y/N)-”
He’s cut off by a shriek. He blinks twice, and you’re already far from his side, rushing to the secret he has to keep - the secret he couldn’t possibly keep from you.
You crash into Yuji, binding him in a crushing hug. He's open mouthed and spluttering in surprise, but you don't have it in you to be embarrassed right now. You have no idea how, but he is standing before you, living and breathing. As seemingly endless tears pour down your face, you miss now the confusion on his face morphs into a look of grim understanding. He doesn't know what you went through, but he can guess.
And then you're laughing. Crying and laughing. Heaving breaths to accommodate your almost hysterical laughter, standing back to wipe away your tears before hugging Yuji again.
The sight of you hugging your student so tightly, healing with just this action, coaxes a half smile out of Gojo. Only half because he is in danger of faltering himself, bottom lip wavering as a wave of emotion flows over him.
The abandoned blindfold is clenched tightly in his hand as he tries to hold back the emotions welling in his brilliant eyes. He almost wants to put it back on to hide the emotions underneath, but he can’t, not when the whole reason he took it off was to see this with his own eyes.
No words are exchanged for a long while. They don't need to be, and even Gojo can see that.
Tumblr media
By the time he is taking you home, your dynamic has shifted back to something more normal. It's raining, but you insist on walking back, citing the fact that his teleportation makes you horribly dizzy. (Or maybe, just maybe, you want a little more time with him. But you'd never admit that to yourself.)
The constant overhead drizzle is a bit annoying, but is bearable despite Gojo's claims of it tainting his very existence. He’s clearly back to his overdramatics - it's comforting.
The streets are dark, with only muted warm yellow lights lining the sidewalks, creating only vague halos of light due to the misty air. Gojo walks close to your side, an arm wrapping protectively around your shoulders. At some point through your chatting, it slips down to your waist. You don't notice it right away, but once you do, all you can do is wonder if he's done that before - if it's normal for friends.
You notice something else strange. His blindfold is still loosely hanging from his body, his baby blues on display. It's hard to look at him like this - you feel too exposed - even though you desperately want to get lost in his eyes. Yes, your deep affection for him still rings true, even if he yelled at you, even if he did expose your horrible, cringey child acting.
“I can’t believe you put on that movie!” You exclaim, miming exasperation.
Gojo chuckles, “Scolding me again, that’s a good sign. Even if it’s for an illogical reason – c’mon, ‘Painters in Paris’ is a classic!”
You can’t hold back your wide, devious smile, “I guess you would think that since you literally look like a fucking paint brush!”
His jaw drops, and he looks at you faux-offended as you practically double over in laughter.
“Angel! No, I really should be calling you devil! You- get over here!”
Although you run from him, he quickly catches up to you and you’re in his grasp. He immediately overwhelms you with vicious tickles.
“Gojo!! Satoru, you– stop that!” You say between bouts of laughter. You’re off balance, and his relentless attack isn’t helping. “Hey, stop, I’m gonna–!”
You stumble and begin to topple to the cold cement, but you’re scooped up before you meet your demise.
A small gasp escapes you at your proximity, and at his eyes so clearly looking deeply into yours, yearning burning through them. He's never looked at you like this - has he?
“Woah! That was close, huh, angel?” He smiles, tone nonchalant and voice steady. He seems unaffected by your closeness, but his eyes tell a different story. You don't know what to trust - him or his eyes. But they say that the eyes are the windows into the soul – what answer does that leave you with?
And what answer do you have? Right now, with his strong arms around you, those beautiful eyes glittering as if they hold a sea of stars, that sweet smile that never fails to give you butterflies, those lips you can’t help but glance at for too long–
You know.
Without thinking, you give in to your instinct to keep leaning in, and your lips meet his. It's not a passionate crash, but more of a gentle whisper to the soul. A soft brush to his lips, all the sweetness he brings to you returned.
Then, you pull away slowly, almost in confusion. Did you just do that?
You’re horrified. What did you just do without a single thought behind your action?
A gentle chuckle brings you out of your momentary horror.
“So what, you’re a paint brush kisser now?” He chuckles softly, his thumb gently brushing against your lower lip.
You take in his expression - flushed cheeks, a soft smile, eyes full of a softness you've never imagined they could have.
"Yes,” You agree, your mouth stretching widely from the excitement and happiness you can’t hold back, “ l proudly am.”
He pulls you closer and kisses you deeply, again and again and again until you're both out of breath. You both stay in that moment, feelings that lay hidden for years finally spilling out, until you're completely engulfed by the rain.
Tumblr media
note part 2: I have a tendency to be over-detailed about boring/fluff details, so I tried to do that less here. First one shot in a while !! I hope the flow is still okay…I also couldn't decide how to do the ending, so l hope this works?
Also wow I can’t stop writing hurt/comfort and Gojo being an ass! I have another story drafted that’s also Gojo x reader and hurt/comfort as well…
Here’s a hint about that one: 🌸🩸
If you’re looking for more hurt/comfort, here’s my gojo hurt/comfort series: here (more action-y than this though)
Thanks for reading !! :)

I once worked with a scenic designer who told me, “You know what your problem is? You like to work.” I answered, “No, I just like getting things done.” In the distant future an ancient race of Space Elves has perfected anti-grav flight and dimensional travel, but they still have to walk to work for some reason. This is an early drawing of a Games Workshop Eldar War Walker, and I thought they were pretty cool. Some people said, “Isn’t the pilot too exposed?” Nah, there’s a force-field thingy protecting him. The newer versions of these do have canopies, but I prefer the more exposed look of the older version. 26 years ago I bought two metal Eldar War Walkers, and 6 years ago I picked up a plastic one from ebay. One metal Walker was built and painted 26 years ago….and the other waited a few decades for it's turn.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
While digging through my parts bin I also found an old Eldar Heavy Plasma Gun and used it to finish up-gunning the newer plastic model Eldar WarWalker. The previous owner had primed him blue so I gave him a quick black wash (2 parts water to one part paint) to darken his base tones and to have black fill in all of his cracks and crevices. After black wash or black primer they got a whit dry-brush treatment as I want their final colors to be brighter.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The areas on the models that have had white dry-brushed over them will be painted red, the black areas are a reminder to me to paint them in metals. The one on the left has had a leg test-painted in “Khorne Red”, which I guess is supposed to look like blood? It looks to me like Rose colored lipstick, but I’m color blind so who knows? The tone seems okay though and the paint is strong enough that it only needs one coat for good coverage. Since my brush has to reach past the pilot to get those areas it’s best to do them now so I don’t screw up the paint job on the pilot. Next I went through and hit all of the brass areas; joints, engines, guns, controls, etc. I really like the dirty gold look of the P3 brand “Dirty Brass”, it’s perfect for a lot of details. Which is a paint I really like and I just found out that it’s OOP so I quickly ordered two more bottles for the future.
Tumblr media
Models for Eldar machinery are usually crusted with little “soul-gems”, which have a long convoluted and ultimately irrelevant story justifying their existence. Mainly they look nice painted gold. I like having these all finished now, it closes a small task loop that has been sitting open in my head all this time.

The problem is that you constantly feel wronged for things that don't really make sense to feel wronged for. Your mom not wanting your hairbrush in the shower? Does that really require an apology? Your manager leaving sticky cans? Is that really not something you can just let go? Your mom trying her best and taking you to a dentist to try and fix your dental hygiene issues? Is it really crime of the century for her to take a job-related phone call in the car, for that job search you've been hounding her for for weeks even though she requires serious dental surgery? The reason I say you want special treatment is because you expect everyone to bend to exactly what you want from them all the time, and you feel like they've committed a huge crime if they don't. Wanting people to bend themselves to your desires all the time and throwing tantrums when they don't is wanting special treatment. EVERYTHING is a sleight to you. You know exactly what you're doing.
I just can't even understand where you're even coming from. My hairbrush isn't bothering or hurting anything by being in the shower and all I asked was that if my mom took it out to put it back, because she literally raised me on "if you're the one to move it, you need to be the one to put it back" but now that I'm an adult and asking the same thing from her, I have to ask her over and over. Where I was scolded, she's just allowed to shrug it off. My managers are grown adults and I am literally the only night shift employee for my entire zone and it is a basic part of your job to clean up any food you bring or open, and especially in my work zone because it's actually a hard rule that you can't leave food because it can attract pests and im frustrated because I am being hounded to do more qork than I am physically capable of and I have to keep taking time to clean up entire overflowing bags of trash when the container it goes in is literally just the next area over and there is by the way a temporary trash bag I hung up for non plastic trash and they qont use that either, they've just left entire coffees on my only flat surface I have to work on. The job related phone call was her taking it literally the day after she applied which looks desperate and because she basically called them on the fly, she wasn't at home to look at materials related to certain questions she was asked, so her rushed decision could have ruined her chance at being hired there, and she did that after inviting me to spend time with her I the car, she asked me, and I come down and she's on the phone where the entire point was that we were leaving to smoke, you know that thing where you cough and can be loud? And she shouldn't be trying to make a phone call for a job interview in the car in the first place when we're literally parked next to a park with a playground with screaming kids in the background?
The only thing I've really been hounding her for is the plasma donation, I KNOW she's constantly applying for jobs, but the plasma donation is a very easy form of money and I'm literally living paycheck to paycheck paying for food, gas, phone bills, utilities. She is home 24/7 and I'm coming home to her having her food dishes for her reptiles MOLDING next to our kitchen sink?
I'm frustrated because these are the kinds of things she would hound me over growing up. "Oh you're at home all day anyways you should be helping out" "oh clean up your dishes before they grow mold on them" "you've been sitting at home all day depressed can you at least do the dishwasher"
I never asked her to do exactly what I wanted, its that she's a hypocrite that won't ever compromise! I see her do things she literally bullied me for and whenever I try to talk to her, just like with me she will get offended and shut down at even the slightest criticism
I'm not expecting her to be perfect, I just want her to stop causing problems for us when they're easily avoidable things? She's had an anti rusting kit for her car for over TWO YEARS and she is still mentioning every other day "oh I need to put this on my car, it's rusting" nd now the rust is ligerallt forming holes and she won't even park it in the garage she's not paying for because it's a slightly longer walk. The things I'm getting mad at her for are either things she's being massively hypocritical about or things with actual significant financial consequences! I don't NEED her to be perfect and do every single thing I say, I just want to have one month of my life where I'm not alone with her and suddenly she's trauma dumping about all the things she forgot about that spiraled into larger bills or bigger problems but when I try and tell her about my own struggles I often get blamed for them and talked over
"I know exactly what I'm doing"? No, no I don't actually! I've been trying my whole life to try and figure out how to do everything the best I can and do everything "correctly" and things never change! There's always another bill that was forgotten about or eviction because rent was late too many times or her quitting another job even when we're borderline homeless, because she gets frustrated just like me. And I understand she can't even go to therapy like I can because of insurance and she's had to work so long but I will literally be telling her to her face "hey you did this thing that hurt me" and she will ALWAYS turn it back on me and I NEVER get apologized to
I've tried literally everything I can think of. I've given everything I could until I had nothing left and things were still demanded of me. My god I was literallt a child and I would be trapped in a car as my mom ranted about bounced checks and her coworkers dealing drugs and making racist comments about "oh I'm not getting rhe credit I deserve whereas POC Coworker can be incompetent and they're in management" like. I've been overwhelmed every single year of my life ever since I was born and its never stopped! I'm just tired! I just want things to be normal! I just want to be able to not worry about being homeless and not having food or worrying a out having to get a new car again every few years!
I just don't know how or what I'm supposed to do. If I'm becoming dangerous then the only thing I can think of is removing myself from the equation entirely

‘It’s gamified’: inside America’s blood plasma donation industry In her new book Blood Money, Kathleen McLaughlin uses a personal lens to examine an industry that rewards mass plasma donation“The backs of both my hands are a spider web of tiny white and pink scars,” writes Kathleen McLaughlin, “a roadmap showing where dozens of nurses in several cities on both sides of the Pacific have punctured the thin skin with a needle, leaving inside the vein a tiny plastic tube that allows medication to flow directly into my bloodstream.”McLaughlin has a rare chronic illness (Joseph Heller, the author of Catch-22, had a similar condition) that can cause her immune system to attack the wrong parts of her body, threatening her hands and feet and ability to walk. She requires periodic infusions of a treatment made from the immune particles in other people’s blood plasma.

IV Bags: Types, Uses, and Benefits | Comprehensive Guide
Intravenous (IV) therapy has become one of the most crucial medical treatments used to deliver fluids, medications, and nutrients directly into a patient’s bloodstream. An IV bag is a common medical tool designed to facilitate this process. They come in various types, sizes, and are used for a wide range of medical conditions and treatments. This comprehensive guide aims to explain the different types of IV bags, their uses, and the benefits of using these medical devices.
Tumblr media
What Are IV Bags?
IV bags are sterile plastic bags designed to contain fluids, electrolytes, medications, or nutrients, which are then infused directly into a patient’s veins through an IV catheter. These bags are designed for easy attachment to an IV line, which connects the bag to the patient. The fluid is delivered slowly over time, ensuring that the patient receives the required treatment in a controlled and precise manner.
Key Components of an IV Bag
An IV bag typically consists of several key components:
The Bag: Usually made from medical-grade plastic such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is flexible and can hold various fluids.
The Port or Connector: This is where the IV tubing is attached to deliver the fluid.
The Fluid: This can range from saline solutions, glucose, blood products, to other specific medications or nutritional substances.
Tubes and Drip Chambers: The IV tubing is connected to the bag and often includes a drip chamber to allow healthcare providers to monitor the flow rate of the fluid.
Types of IV Bags
There are various types of IV bags, each designed to serve specific medical purposes. Here are the most common types:
1. Saline IV Bags
Saline is a sterile solution of sodium chloride (salt) in water. It is one of the most commonly used fluids in IV therapy, particularly for patients who are dehydrated or need to maintain their blood pressure. Saline can be used to flush out medications or help rehydrate the body when fluids are lost due to illness or surgery.
Saline IV bags are typically available in concentrations of:
0.9% Normal Saline (NS): The most common type, which is used for fluid replacement and to maintain fluid balance.
Half-Normal Saline (0.45% NS): A more diluted solution used for specific medical conditions where less sodium is required.
2. Lactated Ringer’s (LR) IV Bags
Lactated Ringer’s solution is a balanced isotonic fluid that contains sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, and sodium lactate. It is often used for rehydration in patients who are undergoing surgery or have lost fluids due to burns, trauma, or other medical conditions.
LR solutions are preferred over saline when there is a need to restore electrolytes in addition to fluids.
3. Dextrose IV Bags
Dextrose is a form of glucose, a type of sugar that provides a source of energy for the body. IV bags containing dextrose are typically used in patients who have low blood sugar levels or require nutritional support. Dextrose solutions are often available in varying concentrations such as:
Dextrose 5% (D5): Commonly used for fluid replacement and energy supplementation.
Dextrose 10% (D10): Typically used for patients needing higher energy intake.
4. Medication IV Bags
Some IV bags are used to deliver specific medications or treatments directly into the bloodstream. These bags can contain antibiotics, pain relievers, chemotherapy drugs, or other essential treatments. Medication IV bags allow for controlled administration of drugs over time, ensuring that the medication is absorbed efficiently and effectively by the patient’s body.
5. Blood Product IV Bags
Blood transfusions are crucial in many medical situations, such as trauma, surgery, or anemia. Blood product IV bags are designed to hold different types of blood products, such as whole blood, plasma, or platelets, which are infused into patients who require them.
6. Nutritional IV Bags (TPN)
Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) is a form of nutritional support provided to patients who are unable to consume food orally. TPN IV bags contain a mixture of essential nutrients, including amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, and minerals, that are directly infused into the bloodstream to maintain adequate nutrition.
Uses of IV Bags
IV bags are used in a variety of medical situations, making them an indispensable part of modern healthcare. Below are some of the most common uses of IV bags:
1. Hydration and Fluid Replacement
One of the primary uses of IV bags is to administer fluids to patients who are dehydrated or need fluid replacement. This may be due to illness, surgery, excessive sweating, or insufficient fluid intake. Rehydrating patients quickly is essential for maintaining normal bodily functions, especially in critical care situations.
2. Electrolyte Balance
Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and calcium are vital for normal cell function and overall health. IV bags containing solutions like saline or lactated Ringer’s help maintain the balance of these electrolytes in patients who have lost them through diarrhea, vomiting, or sweating.
3. Administration of Medications
Certain medications need to be delivered directly into the bloodstream for faster or more effective action. IV bags are used to administer medications like antibiotics, painkillers, chemotherapy drugs, and sedatives. The controlled release of these medications through an IV bag ensures that the drug is delivered at the appropriate rate and dosage.
4. Nutritional Support
Patients who cannot consume food orally, such as those with digestive issues or who are critically ill, can receive nutritional support through IV bags. TPN solutions provide all the essential nutrients required for survival and recovery, making it an essential treatment for long-term hospitalized patients.
5. Blood Transfusions
IV bags are used to administer blood products to patients who require blood transfusions. This is common in situations where a patient has lost significant blood due to trauma, surgery, or disease. Blood transfusions can help restore blood volume, improve oxygen transport, and treat anemia.
Benefits of Using IV Bags
The use of IV bags offers several benefits, which is why they are a cornerstone of modern medical practice.
1. Controlled Administration
One of the key benefits of IV bags is the ability to control the rate and volume of fluids or medications delivered to the patient. This ensures that the patient receives the precise amount required for their condition, minimizing the risk of under or over-medication.
2. Immediate Effectiveness
IV administration delivers substances directly into the bloodstream, allowing for rapid absorption and quicker onset of action. This is especially important for patients requiring immediate relief, such as in the case of severe dehydration or pain management.
3. Versatility
IV bags come in a wide variety of types and formulations, making them versatile for use in a range of clinical settings. From emergency rooms to intensive care units (ICUs), IV bags are used to treat a diverse range of conditions.
4. Minimized Risk of Infection
When used properly, IV bags and the associated equipment are sterile, helping reduce the risk of infection. This is particularly important when dealing with critically ill patients or when administering medications or blood products.
5. Improved Patient Outcomes
By ensuring that patients receive the necessary fluids, medications, and nutrients in a controlled and effective manner, IV bags contribute to faster recovery times and improved overall health outcomes.
Conclusion
IV bags are essential tools in modern medicine, providing a reliable and effective way to deliver fluids, medications, and nutrients to patients. Whether it is for hydration, electrolyte balance, nutritional support, or medication administration, the versatility and efficiency of IV therapy play a significant role in the treatment of a wide range of medical conditions. By understanding the different types of IV bags and their specific uses, healthcare providers can offer the best possible care to their patients, ultimately leading to better health outcomes.

Ensuring Print Quality: Addressing Adhesion Issues and Post-Printing Problems in Flexography
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Learn how to address adhesion issues and post-printing problems in flexography to ensure high-quality prints. Discover effective solutions for substrate pre-treatment, ink formulation, and environmental control. Introduction Flexography, often referred to as flexo printing, is widely used for its versatility and efficiency in printing on various substrates such as plastic, paper, and metal. However, one of the persistent challenges in flexography is adhesion issues, which can significantly impact the final print quality. Understanding the root causes of these problems and implementing effective solutions is crucial for maintaining high-quality standards in flexographic printing. Understanding Adhesion Issues in Flexography Adhesion problems in flexography typically arise from several factors, including substrate properties, ink formulation, and environmental conditions. These issues can manifest as ink flaking, peeling, or poor adhesion to the substrate, leading to unsatisfactory print results. - Substrate Properties: The surface energy of the substrate plays a critical role in ink adhesion. Substrates with low surface energy, such as polyethylene or polypropylene, often require surface treatment to enhance adhesion. Techniques like corona discharge, plasma treatment, and flame treatment can increase surface energy and improve ink bonding. - Ink Formulation: The composition of flexo inks, including the choice of pigments, binders, and solvents, affects adhesion. Using inks specifically designed for the substrate type and application conditions is essential. Adjusting the viscosity and drying speed of the ink can also help achieve better adhesion. - Environmental Conditions: Factors like temperature, humidity, and air quality in the printing environment can influence adhesion. Maintaining consistent environmental conditions is crucial to prevent issues like ink drying too quickly or not drying sufficiently before coming into contact with the substrate. Common Post-Printing Problems and Their Solutions Post-printing problems in flexography can include issues like blocking, set-off, and surface defects, which can compromise the print quality and usability of the final product. - Blocking: This occurs when printed surfaces stick together, often due to excessive pressure, high temperature, or inadequate drying. Ensuring proper drying of the printed materials and optimizing storage conditions can prevent blocking. - Set-Off: Set-off refers to the transfer of ink from one printed surface to another, leading to smudging and loss of print clarity. Using anti-set-off sprays, increasing the drying time, and maintaining appropriate stacking pressure can minimize set-off problems. - Surface Defects: Scratches, abrasions, and other surface defects can occur during post-printing handling and processing. Implementing proper handling procedures and using protective coatings or laminates can safeguard the printed materials from damage. Effective Solutions for Adhesion Issues To effectively address adhesion issues and post-printing problems in flexography, a comprehensive approach is necessary. Here are some practical steps: - Pre-Treatment of Substrates: Implement surface treatment techniques like corona discharge to enhance substrate surface energy. - Optimizing Ink Formulation: Work closely with ink suppliers to select and formulate inks that are compatible with the specific substrates and printing conditions. - Maintaining Environmental Control: Ensure stable temperature and humidity levels in the printing environment to avoid fluctuations that can affect ink adhesion. - Quality Control Measures: Regularly monitor and test the adhesion and durability of printed materials to identify and address issues early in the production process. Conclusion Adhesion issues and post-printing problems in flexography can pose significant challenges, but with a systematic approach and the right techniques, these problems can be effectively managed. By understanding the factors affecting adhesion and implementing best practices, printers can ensure high-quality, durable prints that meet industry standards and customer expectations.
