Preparing myself to read a Persona 5 fic because it sounds super interesting but Maruki is a tagged character which means there's like a 70% chance that he's being mischaracterized

Voices from Beneath the Rubble: A Life Suspended in Gaza

Art by @norrriey & @sailing-ever-west ♥️

Rebuilding Lives: A Family's Struggle and Need for Support in Post-War Gaza

In the heart of Gaza, a once-thriving family now grapples with the harsh realities of war. Mohammed Alanqer, a dedicated engineer, had built a promising technology startup that was the cornerstone of his family’s livelihood. However, the war has left his business in ruins, and his family displaced, facing severe financial and health challenges.

The Impact of War on Livelihood and Education

The destruction of Mohammed's startup has stripped the family of their primary source of income. This loss is compounded by the closure of schools in Gaza, depriving their children, Layan, Sarah, and Adam, of their right to education. With the educational institutions in disarray, the children’s future remains uncertain, threatening to deepen the cycle of poverty and instability.

Health and Safety Concerns

The war has not only affected their financial stability but also put the family's health at risk. The destruction of hospitals has left Mohammed's wife, Enas Majed, in a precarious situation, particularly during her pregnancy with their youngest child, Amir. The family also struggles with medical conditions, including their son Adam’s battle with viral hepatitis and other illnesses like measles, which have become prevalent due to the lack of proper healthcare facilities.

The Urgent Need for Support

The family has been forced to flee their home multiple times, living in constant fear and without basic necessities such as clean clothes and adequate food. Their situation has become increasingly desperate, with the cost of escaping to a safer environment being prohibitively high. The financial burden of crossing borders, estimated at $5000 per adult and $2500 per child, is beyond their means.

A Call for Help

Mohammed and his family urgently need support to overcome these challenges. The total estimated costs for providing education, housing, and essential needs amount to between 27,817 and 42,485 euros annually. This includes:

- Education Costs: 11,817 - 18,485 euros per year

- Housing Costs: 12,000 - 18,000 euros per year

- Basic Needs: 4,000 - 6,000 euros per year

This financial assistance would enable the family to secure a stable and safe environment, ensure the children’s return to education, and provide the necessary healthcare to overcome their current difficulties.

Conclusion

The story of Mohammed Alanqer’s family is a testament to the resilience and determination to survive in the face of unimaginable adversity. However, their journey cannot be completed without external support. By contributing to their cause, you can help rebuild a future where Mohammed’s children can grow up in safety, pursue their education, and live with dignity.

P5R Dialogue Compilation Project

Hello all!

While I was playing P5R, I realized there was a lot of dialogue lines that opened up neat in-universe context!

... And yet there was no text-based compilation (... at least one in chronological order) of ANY of these lines available as a reference point. 😅

So I started a project doing exactly that!

Joker's Overworld Interactions Compilation

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hcQIo1_YZ7cRmi4CuFjIj1yvvbKeJihOe8fKAkEMiXc/edit?usp=drivesdk

Optional NPC Dialogue Compilation

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1X8OvzJquvOxGHhEB4fZak4EVLxBeTFr3AK4Zs_Dh0x4/edit?usp=drivesdk

Hopefully these will be helpful for fellow fanfic authors, folks looking to quote something, or even fellow lore-junkies who love seeing the subtle changes in the game as it progresses!

(Please note these are only the English lines, as I sadly don't have a decent enough grasp on Japanese to do ones for it too. Google Translate would not be doing it any justice lol.)

"i'm sorry, senpai. i didn't know you would take it so hard... if it's any condolence, i think my sister would have really liked you."

(more notes under cut)

-not ship, i imagine akira asked maruki to erase their romantic attachment to make it Easier on them + he distances himself quite a bit

-^ they're on "senpai" "yoshizawa-san" name basis again which is... actually a little easier on akira. haha

-this is like "sumire existed and died in the crash" (i know in maruki's ideal reality "sumire" just might not exist straight up)

-smth abt sumire having intense survivor's guilt over kasumi and now akira feeling the same over sumire. Yeha.. yeah..think about it...

-"kasumi" only tells "sumire" about how well her gymnastics are going because that's why Sumire Yoshizawa wanted to become her sister in the first place. to take on the world stage and be the best gymnast in the world......... because surely, that'd bring her happiness

-i imagine akira+sumi got to visit kasumi's grave once during 3rd sem, making this even more jarring... he'd been holding up relatively well until now:')

-akira Really wants to hug her back in the last panel but he shouldn't. he /can't./ it's not his sumire anymore

-"kasumi" doesnt wear earrings in this btw THATS KIND OF A NOTHINGBURGER DETAIL BUT

-also her textboxes are pink instead of the light red i always use for sumire. Heh....

-after this i think akira begs maruki to let him Forget but (P2 SPOILERS KINDA YAYYYYYYYY) i really like the concept of all the sadness and despair and loneliness forked onto akira the way tatsuya has to carry that weight with him so like idk headcanon maruki and akira have to serve as the memokeepers of the past reality in order to keep the ideal reality together. so no can do buddy

(If you used the template for similar/the same characters, and want me to take the specific image down from here, I will. I’m trying to be as respectful as possible. I don’t wanna be a copycat after all, but I’d like you to know it wasn’t intention 😞)
