Hi! You can call me Lyre. I'm currently very obsessed with Danganronpa, especially Komaeda and komahina, so you'll see a lot of that on here.
I also like Genshin Impact, particularly anything to do with Venti! Outside of my queue I'm too DR-fixated to post about that right now, but I've theorised about him quite a bit under my genshin lore tag.
Other places you can find me: an_evening_breeze on ao3 and eveningbreeze.bsky.social on bluesky! Mutuals can ask for my discord.
My queue is very long. If I like a bunch of your art but don't reblog anything it might resurface here in a few business months.
No DNI, it's a public blog, but keep in mind I'm an adult. Please only interact with me about nsfw topics if you're 18+.
🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃
Important tags:
#dr analysis
-> #komaedology for komaeda analysis specifically
#genshin lore
#lyre writes
-> #you wouldn't steal a face for my Venti+NB fae au fic (on hiatus)
#lyre gets interrogated for replies to asks
🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃
Thanks for visiting! Have a wonderful day.

my study sessions consist of 60% singing along to songs, 15% of staring at the wall, 15% looking up random things or getting up to do unrelated stuff and maybe 10% actually studying and then i have the audacity to wonder why it takes me so long to finish anything
#wrote 360 words and it took me over 3 hours 👍#could i listen to songs i dont like/know that much? yes but then id just be lookimg at the lyrics instead#could i turn off the music completely? yes but i still wouldn't be able to focus plus the music is the one thing that gives me enough#will to stay alive and keep studying#anyway the introduction is now at 10% and it needs to be about 25%. but in total we have almost 30%#which still is very little i mean we still have 70% to write#but i try not to think about that#at least 15% more of it is gonna be the rest of the results#and 15% more the rest of the introduction#and then the other 40ish the discussion and conclusions#god thats a lot of words#and that's only the minimum wordcount!#do you think the image and table titles count in the word count? would be very useful if they did#I dont think they do tho#anyway at this point im just wasting time hiding in the tags of this post instead of studying#jo says stuff#university update

i dont mind remastering old games but you need to do more than put a new coat of paint on it and charge $60-70.
#brilliant diamond worst videogame purchase ever#ports should be $10-25#graphics updates $20-40#actual remasters can be full price but they need new content and reimaginings and shit

ok and what was up with that time page 666 updated twice within the span of two days and we technically got 3 updates that month. i know once i start analysing the comic's update schedule i am well and truly fucking cooked but like was that anything
#it's only the 29th for now so could they bamboozle us with one more update before the month ends or something. <- delusional#10/25 next month is also one of the homestuck arc numbers of the calendar so they could also just be lining something up for that?#hs2

New year, new pinned post!
UPDATE 10/25/2024:
It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to delete all of my works from FFN. I woke up this morning to find that I had a several new followers...all of which were AI scrapers (it literally says {name}-AI in all of the usernames and each profile was basically a 'Please check out {name} AI writing tool!' ad).
I am done with that platform. I ignored a ton of private messages that were basically scams to write for webnovel and several others, the occasional 'writing about teens having s*x is gross' (seriously, DL;DR), and the tons of spam...but I draw the line at this.
Obviously, I am still on AO3. Fics over there aren't user locked YET...but I have a feeling that it's soon coming to that.
To those new to my blog of insanity, here is what you will find:
Yugioh fanfiction and fanart, the occasional hint of other fandoms, and reblogs galore!
I will not apologize for the overabundance of TKB that I will reblog. I love that horrifying mess of a man.
I will also not apologize for the overabundant presence of my OC, Kat. She lives and breathes in some form or another in many of my fics, as well as over on my RP blog. I have also made a visual for her that you can see here.
You can find me on AO3 under the same username.
My pet project is my longfic, Tangled Web of Fate.
Ask box is always open, and Anon is on for those who are shy.
I love ask and tag games, and just asks in general. Don't be afraid to reach out! I don't bite!

Whumptober Day 24: i've got a head full of chemicals, mouth full of ridicule
Goodbye note
3471 Words; Acrobat & the Spider
TW for the arachnophobic peeps bc gisu is a spider
AO3 ver
Gisu pushed open the door to the ballroom.
Or, well, it used to be a ballroom, but with the webbing and ropes and trapeze filling it, it wasn’t much a ballroom now. Maybe a bigtop? Indoor circus tent, now that was an idea!
Dion was lying down in the middle of the floor, his arms out to his sides as he stared up at the ceiling. It was weird, to see him so still—as long as Gisu had known him (which was both shorter and longer than she expected, huh) he had always been moving in one way or another, always full of anxious energy.
Well, what little she could pick up of his thoughts—damn curse, cutting her powers in half—was still anxious, at least. But it was more than his baseline.
Gisu walked over, coming to a stop a few feet away from Dion. His eyes flicked over to her, briefly, before returning to the ceiling.
“You okay?” She asked, sitting down. Well, more like letting her abdomen rest against the floor, all four legs splayed out around her, but it was the closest one could get to sitting when they were a giant spider monster, so it still counted.
Dion’s eyes closed, and he exhaled slowly.
The silence stretched on. Gisu pulled some spare thread from her spinnerets, twisting it between all four of her hands. Even so, her brain kept buzzing, latching onto Dion’s anxiety and bouncing it around in her head.
“They shouldn’t be waiting on me.” Dion said, finally, still staring at the ceiling. “They shouldn’t—I’m twenty-two. They don’t need to wait on me.”
Gisu said nothing. What could she say? She was the one who had asked Dion to stay here.
“And it’s not like I don’t get it.” Dion continued, “They’re worried. They have every right to be. But—” He swallowed, exhaling sharply as his jaw tightened and his brow furrowed, “I’m fine. I’m fine, and they’re—” He turned his head to look at Gisu, long brown curls pooling on the floor around him. “They’re losing money trying to find me.”
Gisu’s hands stilled as guilt washed over her. She’d done this. She’d asked Dion to stay here, with her, and now he and his family (his family, who he cared about so much it hurt) were suffering for it. This was her fault.
She should say something, anything to relieve the stress permeating the room. The room that they had been laughing and flinging themselves across only a day ago, chasing each other around and around without ever touching the floor.
Dion sat up, his legs folded in front of him. He wrapped his arms around his legs and rested his forehead on his knees, the buzzing anxiety of his thoughts hitting a crescendo. The bracelet that Gisu had made for him glinted in the light, and Gisu struggled to swallow a fresh gulp of guilt.
The silence stretched on. Gisu raised a hand to her mouth, gingerly tracing the edge of a chelicerae. Her fur had tickled him, when they kissed.
(But he had persisted anyway.)
Her chest had fluttered, when they’d kissed. She had felt on top of the world, she had felt wanted and pretty—
It was far from fluttering now.
“I miss them.” Dion admitted, his voice cracking. “I miss them all so much.”
���I’m sorry.” Gisu wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear. She’d done this. She’d asked him to stay. She’d separated Dion from his family. This was her fault.
“If there was just some way I could talk to them…” Dion stared off into space, his arms wrapped around himself as he slowly rocked in place. His head was a mess of static to what little psychic senses Gisu still had.
Gisu turned her head away. She couldn’t look at Dion right now.
(She had never wanted to stop looking at him, never wanted to let him go.)
“None of us can leave the mansion.” Gisu said. “Sam can only control animals within the walls.” They had thought to use her minions as a way to talk to the outside world, when the curse had first been cast. They’d quickly learned that there was no talking to the outside world.
Dion muttered something. Gisu only caught the words Lizzie and gossip and treats, but now Dion was staring off into space contemplatively.
None of them could leave the mansion. It was a fact of their curse that couldn’t be changed. There was no way for them to contact the outside world—chances were it had long moved on without them, moved on while they were all stuck.
“Maybe…” Dion stood, snapping Gisu from her spiral. He was snapping his hand like he was trying to jog his memory, long legs powering him in a quick pace around the room. “That might work.” He muttered.
Gisu tilted her head. “What might work?” God, she could watch him for hours like this, full of energy. He already made for great background noise when she was working, rambling and muttering and moving—but when he had an idea? When his eyes lit up and he started walking on his hands trying to think through a problem? It was fascinating.
Dion didn’t respond, too lost in whatever he was thinking as he made his way out towards the door. Gisu managed to catch the image of a letter in his mind—and then he was gone.
Gisu huffed, annoyance briefly overriding her guilt. He could let her help! Maybe he had gotten it in his head that he had to handle it all on his own—Gisu was no stranger to that kind of thinking, loathe as she was to admit it.
Gisu frowned, and looked back up at the ceiling. Maybe Dion was right to want to do this—whatever it was—himself, she thought, as she looked at the webbing and rope strung up across the room, at the giant improvised trapeze. It had started as Dion’s project, when Gisu had handed the room over to him to do with as he wished—and then she had gotten her grubby hands all over it and added webs all over. And it had been fun, running around up there, her spider paws gripping the ceiling while Dion flipped from perch to perch like a budgie on crack—
But was this what Dion had envisioned, when he’d started building his makeshift trapeze? Or had he wanted something closer to the home that he missed? Were her additions even wanted at all?
(He had kissed her like he wanted it, like he wanted her—
She wanted him. She wanted him to want her. And not just to break the curse.)
Gisu had asked him to stay—with the (false, but he still fell for it) threat of keeping his younger brother instead—and he had stayed, but it wasn’t fair. Not to Dion. Not to anyone.
Gisu clenched her hands into fists. “I did this.” It was just like her, really—always screwing up in one way or another. Whatever Dion was planning to do with his letter, it was only because Gisu had asked him to stay.
“What would you even do?” She asked the door. What was Dion even planning? There wasn’t really a way to get the letter out of the forest. None of them could leave the mansion.
Gisu paused. None of them could leave the mansion—
None of them except Dion. Dion, who had agreed to stay on Gisu’s request, but who wasn’t beholden to the curse. Dion, who loved his family so much it almost hurt to hear him talk about them. Dion, who Gisu wanted so badly just because he made her feel wanted—
Gisu stood. She had messed up, but that was just part of being an engineer.
It was time she did something to fix the mess she’d caused.
+=+=+=+=+
Am I really going to do this?
Gisu wrung her hands—all four of them. All of her fur was standing on end, all of her senses screaming danger at her. Yet still, here she was, one of her hind legs twitching in anticipation.
Still, she had to do this. It was for the best.
Steeling her nerves, Gisu pushed open the study door. There were quite a few studies in the mansion, truth be told, but there was only one that was really used regularly. And she could faintly feel Dion’s mental print in there, so it wasn’t even a guess—she knew he was in there.
And there he was, hunched over balancing on his toes in a chair, writing something on a piece of paper—the letter Gisu had seen in his thoughts?
Dion looked up at her entrance. He blinked, looking like a deer in headlights for half a moment before his face split into a wide grin. “Hey, Паучок.”
Gisu almost snorted at the nickname—almost. She couldn’t let herself get distracted; she had a job to do. She maneuvered into the room with some difficulty—truly, this mansion was not quite built for giant spider monsters—and stood there, trying to gather the words.
Dion turned back to the desk.
Right. It was now or never. If Gisu didn’t do this now, she’d never find the courage. “You need to leave.” Gisu started. It was for the best, really—Dion deserved better than some run-down mansion and a monster who only messed everything up.
Dion looked at her, his brow furrowed. “Why?” And oh, there went Gisu’s resolve—
No! She could still do this! It was for the best, even if it hurt!
“You can’t stay here.” Gisu continued, wringing her inferior hands nervously. “You shouldn’t stay here.” Dion wasn’t the kind of guy who could just leave his family behind, he deserved to see them again and put all of this behind him—
“What are you talking about?” Dion had come to stand in front of her, his hand cupping Gisu’s face just behind her chelicerae. “Is there some kind of danger?”
Gisu pulled away and shook her head. “Please, Dion.” She urged. “You need to leave. You need to go home.” Because this wasn’t his home, this was just a building she’d trapped him in, and he deserved so much better than some monster who only wanted him around to break her curse.
“What’s gotten into you?” Dion’s thoughts were quickly becoming static stress against Gisu’s head. She wished she could see all of his thoughts, could understand how he felt about this—no, that was invasive. Just another way that Gisu messed everything up.
“I’ve had some realizations, that’s all.” Gisu explained. “It’s not fair for you to be stuck here.” Not with her.
Dion frowned. “Gisu, I promised to stay here—”
Gisu grasped his hands in her superiors, her inferior hands still wringing. “But your family—”
Dion’s face fell. He looked away. “It’ll work out. They’re strong.” He murmured. A moment later, he looked back at her, resolve in his eyes. “I’m going to let them know I’m okay, or they’ll give up and move on.”
“But you miss them,” Gisu stressed, “You’re homesick, Dion, don’t try to deny it.” Dion needed to get out of here. It was for the best.
“Of course I’m homesick!” Dion leaned in closer, “But it’s okay, okay? I’m an Aquato. I can make this mansion home.” His eyes closed, and he ran his thumbs over Gisu’s hands.
Gisu pulled her hands away. “No you can’t.” She muttered.
“And why not?” Dion put his hands on his hips, “Why can’t I stay here?” He crossed his arms. “Well?”
“You need to leave.” Gisu repeated. It was for the best. “You should be home, with your family.” She stressed. “Please.”
“What part of ‘I’m okay here’ are you not getting?” Dion grit out. “Gisu, I’m not trapped here. Not with you.”
The words hit Gisu like a hammer. She flinched back, all of her resolve leaving her—
No. No, Dion needed to leave. It was for the best.
“No, you don’t get it!” Gisu grabbed Dion’s shoulders in her superior hands. “You’re not supposed to be here, Dion, you’re not supposed to be trapped in his hellhole with me.” She stared him down, all but begging him to just give up, “You could have left at any point. You should have left at any point.” He shouldn’t be here, stuck in this decaying mansion with her. It was for the best for him to leave. It was for the best.
Dion grasped her inferior hands in his. “But your curse—”
“Enough about the curse!” Gisu shouted. Like it would ever break, anyway. “You couldn’t break it even if you tried.” Wait, no, that wasn’t what she meant to say—
Dion’s eyes widened. “Then what was the point of me staying here?” He asked, his voice starting to rise in pitch. “What, are you not actually cursed and you’ve just been lying this whole time?”
“Maybe I have!” Gisu tore her hands away from his, throwing all four of them into the air. “It doesn’t matter!” Yes, good, she needed him to get angry, needed him to leave before she broke something she couldn’t fix. She loomed over him, straightening her forelegs to get as much height as she could—they were about eye-level, now.
“It doesn’t matter.” She shoved out at him with her superior arms. “Leave.”
Dion stumbled back several steps. “Gisu?” He sounded so small.
“You heard me.” Gisu growled. “Get out.” It was for the best. It was for the best to let Dion go.
“What is wrong with you?!” Dion shouted. “First you’re all over me and now you’re telling me to leave?” At once, his anger fell, worry filling his features. “Mio cara, what’s going on?”
“DON’T CALL ME THAT!” Gisu’s anger hit a fever pitch. She shoved, knocking Dion bodily to the floor and following him down. “You idiot.” She growled, her voice threatening to crack. Her eyes stung. She planted her superior hands to the sides of Dion’s head. “You shouldn’t BE HERE!” It was for the best.
Dion stared up at her with wide eyes. His chest heaved.
Gisu leaned in closer, all of her thoughts falling away. “I could crush your head.” She growled, “Right between my mandibles.” She grabbed his jaw with one of her inferior hands, holding it harshly. “I could bite you and you’d die from the venom in my fangs.” She tightened her grip, drawing a small gasp from Dion. “I could kill you. You shouldn’t be here.” She let go of Dion’s jaw. His head fell back to the floor, and his eyes slipped shut as he wheezed a shuddered exhale.
“Hurts, doesn’t it?” Gisu asked, her anger pounding in her skull. “Of course it does—I’m a monster.” She grinned, anger baring her teeth. “So leave.”
Dion stared up at her, his eyes wide.
“Run away.” Gisu snarled, still looming over Dion. “Run away to your real family and let them make it all better for you.” She leaned in closer—
The room spun as Dion’s fist slammed into her face, forcing her up and backwards. Dion scrambled out from under Gisu as she held her head in her hands, stars dancing across her vision.
She looked up at him. Dion had a hand held over his mouth, absolute horror in his eyes.
“I’m sorry,” he started, “I didn’t mean—”
Gisu growled. “Get out.”
Dion wasted no more time arguing with her.
His footsteps faded out down the hallway, on and on until Gisu couldn’t hear them, couldn’t feel the vibrations in her legs.
She exhaled shakily, and stood.
The room was so quiet, now.
Still, Gisu reminded herself as she made her way to the door, it was for the best.
Even if it didn’t feel like it.
+=+=+=+=+
Gisu grunted, driving her screwdriver into the head of the screw. Taking things apart and putting them back together was supposed to be therapeutic. And it was, but—
Gisu growled, burying those thoughts. It was her fault, anyway—she was the one who went and got attached to something she could never have.
“Uh, hey, Gisu?” The radio next to her workstation crackled to life, Morris’ voice coming in steady. “Why did Dion just climb over the wall?”
Gisu regarded the radio for a moment, before returning to the broken clock in her hands. “He left.” She said.
The radio was silent for a moment.
“Wh—why?” Morris asked. “I thought he was all over you?”
“He got homesick.” Gisu explained, “So he left.” It was for the best, anyway. Dion deserved so much better than a monster.
“Okay, no way.” The radio crackled. “I know what it sounds like when you’re hiding something.” Morris accused, “So spill.”
“I made him leave, is that what you wanted?” Gisu threw one of her superior hands out as she spoke. “He was better off back with his family, anyway!”
There was silence for a moment. Then—
“Gisu.” Morris’ voice was edged with incredulity. “What the fuck.”
Gisu grumbled. “It’s over.” She muttered. “He’s gone.”
“No, genuinely,” Morris continued, like Gisu hadn’t spoken at all, “What is wrong with you?”
Gisu froze. “What are you talking about?” She’d fixed the problem. It was for the best.
“I’m talking about the fact that you chased away the one good chance of breaking the curse because what, you were too afraid to confront your own feelings?” Morris’ voice crackled with static, like nails against the chalkboard of Gisu’s ears. “Oh, sure,” He went on, “You’ll read all your romance novels, write all your silly self-insert fanfiction, but the moment you find yourself caring about something that isn’t mechanical you get too scared to do anything but shove it all away.”
Gisu snarled. “Shut up! You don’t know what you’re talking about!” Dion’s family was important to him, it wasn’t fair to keep him here—
“Ha!” Morris snorted. “Please! You barely even care about the rest of us!” He accused, the dials on the radio darting back and forth. “I bet the only reason you care about me is because you can just pretend I’m another one of your stupid machines!”
Gisu gasped. “I care!”
“Really?” Even without a body, Morris’ agitation came through loud and clear. “Because I’m pretty sure chasing away the one solid chance for me to get my body back is the opposite of caring!” The radio made a slamming noise, then a string of honks and whistles—Morris was getting really worked up, now.
“We’re all cursed!” Gisu slammed her inferior hands on the table. She crossed her superior arms, giving up on the broken clock laid out before her. “Stop making this about yourself!”
Morris’ voice was incredulous. “I’m the one making this about myself? Have you looked in a mirror?” He huffed, “Of course you haven’t.” He muttered. “Because then maybe Lizzie could knock some sense into you.”
“I’m not the one who needs sense knocked into them.” Gisu shot back. “I keep this mansion running, you know!” She started counting on her fingers. “I keep the lights powered, I keep the heaters from falling apart—I’m the one who makes sure all these radios actually work!” Yeah, Adam and Sam handled the firewood and keeping the mirrors clean, but still. Without Gisu, there’d be nobody to power and fix the radios.
“That doesn’t mean you get to chase away the one chance we had of getting uncursed, Gis!” Morris yelled back. “You don’t get to make that decision for us!”
“Oh, like there won’t be other chances.” Gisu snarled through gritted teeth. “You don’t need to be so impatient.”
Morris sighed. “I want my body back, Gisu.” His voice was heavy with grief. “I want to be able to see colors again, and not just my own noise reflected back at me.” The radio clattered. “But you don’t get that, do you? You still have your body.” He laughed hollowly. “Your curse is that you’re ugly.” Morris remarked, “And the guy you liked didn’t even care about that.” The radio went silent, then, leaving Morris’ remark to hang in the air like smoke.
Gisu yelled, sweeping the radio off of its stand. It fell to the floor with a clatter, but remained silent.
Gisu stared at it, her chest heaving. Her throat got tight, all four of her eyes started to sting—
Fuck. As much as she wanted to deny it, Morris was right. She’d messed up. She’d messed everything up.
Gisu let herself fall to the floor, arms curling around herself. “Fuck.” She sobbed.
She’d fucked up. But it was too late, now—Dion had already crossed the outer walls. There was nothing Gisu could do to fix the mess she made.
She laughed darkly. “At least I can’t fuck it up worse.” Doing so would be hard—even for her.
That fact wasn’t a comfort.

I learned something important and stupid about California. The main purpose of red light cameras is to catch people who don't sufficiently stop at the intersection before making a right turn. The fee is exorbitant, about $400-500, because a big chunk of it has to go to the privately owned company that installs and monitors the cameras; this is also the company who identifies who has to pay fees for not sufficiently stopping for their right turns. (The fine is $35 because this is such a minor offense, the rest is fees.) Plus you then have to pay a traffic school so that your insurance won't go up, which is such a racket. It's a triple racket, and it's government sanctioned because the local government is part of it.
Every so often there's a big class-action against some city or another over this, but unfortunately for me, there is not currently one against my city that I could try to join in instead of paying this fucking stupid fine for a non-crime.
As far as I can tell from a lot of google research, this is such a routine thing in the cities that do it that there's no real way to fight it (a laywer is cheaper than the fine! so I considered that as an option). That is, short of joining one of those periodic class-actions, which is unfortunately not happening right now. I'll keep an eye out in case I can join a later one and maybe recoup some of my money.
#they give you a video and I watched it and I was just following the car in front of me too (wonder if they also got fined)#the side traffic was turning left so it was a protected turn#so everything about this was triple-safe to the point where I actually maybe could fight it with a good enough lawyer#but at a certain point it's not worth it#luckily traffic school is online but that just goes to show how illegitimate it is#also the online traffic schools only cost like $10 this is such a fucking scam lol#you do have to pay a bigger fee to the city to get this option#oh new update if you want to pay $25 you can do 'comedy traffic school' of which there seem to be at least three options#from three different comedy clubs/improv groups#I am... tempted I do have to say

i want to raise my commission prices since everybody seems to say they are way too low, but the thing is that my commission post with the current prices already got reblogged a bunch so if i raise them now thered probably be a conflict with the two different prices going around ....... so idk what to about that
#like if i raise the prices and someone sees the non updated post with the old prices and wants to commission me#how can i charge them more if those were the prices they saw?#i just really want to change mainly the fact that i put that an extra character is $5#which is insane. a fullbody is 20 and two fullbodies with two whole characters is 25. that makes no sense#(because thats there since my fullbodies were $10 so it was technically half the price)#(now its just nonsense)

Is seeing the same post on your dash tiring for you?
What do you think Palestinians feel after almost a year of the same bombs that sometimes even drop on the same place, same lies about a 'ceasefire', same same indifference towards their suffering?
Just because a post highlighting a fundraiser was made a day, a week, a month ago doesn't mean it's not worth sharing. So many campaigns were created months ago and received little or no support at all. All while needing funds more than ever.
Just in the last 24 hours IOF committed 4 massacres, resulting in 23 martyrs and 101 injuries - and that's just the people who could reach the hospitals or were found; many are still under the rubble or blocked from ambulances in other ways.
"The toll from the "israeli" aggression has risen to 41,638 martyrs and 96,460 injuries since October 7th of last year." - from today's Palestinian Ministry of Health news. And again, that's the people they could count - people whose scattered remains were dug up by their families, people who were injured and died while on their way to the hospital or in it (either from wounds or getting bombed in there too).
IOF sees your indifference and continues it's aggression on Lebanon. After all, if they can get away with a year (76 years) of genocide, why not start another one?
Only 3 days ago I've made a vent post [here] about how a fundraiser I've been spotlighting received less and less donations in the last week. And guess what? It still gets some reblogs. And guess what? It's stagnating again despite that.
If you can share the same 'tumblr heritage' post time and time again, if you can share same posts from various gimmick blogs, you can handle some repetition on your dash. In fact, you can also handle a small donation to a Palestinian fundraiser (if you can't then it's fine and you DO NOT need to comment that. In fact, you shouldn't.)
Please share this post and donate to Palestinian fundraisers, including Falastin's:
Keep in mind CONVERSION RATES:
10$ = 101 SEK
25$ = 253 SEK
50$ = 506 SEK
100$ = 1,012 SEK
I've talked about it before numerous times, a lot of info can be found on this post [here].
Vetting info: #282 in El-Shab-Hussein and Nabulsi's spreadsheet [here], #957 in the Butterfly Project spreadsheet [here]
I do semi-regular art updates (last one [here]) and accept commissions for proof of donations, please dm me for info as my art blog was terminated.

compiling a far from comprehensive list of palestinian fundraisers i'm aware of that are far from their goal (less than 25% raised) and/or stagnating. i will try to update this post at least every couple days - please check the op for updates.
if you can donate at least USD $15 (€14, CAD $20, kr160, £12) and dm me proof, i'll offer a colored sketch commission akin to these drawings (more details here). [EDIT: not accepting new donation comms at the moment until i've worked through my backlog; check back in a week or two!]
even if you're not able to donate that much or at all, please share, and follow the links to the fundraisers - there's much more important information for each one than i'm able to quickly compile into one list.
