This is your reminder that Victor and the Creature are the only characters in the book that clap their hands when they're excited. Like father, like son.

If you did answer this poll, please take a second to stop scrolling.

If you haven't already heard Israel is still attempting to block aid going to Gaza and even threatening people over it. It is also Eid al-Adha, a holiday in which large feasts are prepared.

There are a lot of people sharing campaigns to donate money for food and other necessities for survival in Gaza. I am sharing Nader's family's campaign.

This is a small way to help make a big difference in a family's life struggling for survival under occupation. Every donation counts.

[cosmicchipss]

You know what's better than found family? LOST family, as unsurvivable as once rich meadows turned into stretching deserts. Unsalvageable, yet got you crawling back at night wondering what went wrong down the line. Doesn't matter; there's nothing to be done about it but watch.

Edited because I uploaded the version with grammatical mistake 😭😭😭 so much for a c1 cefr

[cosmicchipss]

Came back to tumblr just to find out inception big bang sign up deadline was yesterday... ts is so ass...

[cosmicchipss]

Hello everyone, I know I haven't been the most active recently; you guys prolly don't even remember who I am. But surely, you know about the genocide going on in Gaza, and you know the people need your help.

@ahmedmahmoud6reay is vetted, and his campaign still hasn't reached its target; he and his four children are in need of our aid. If you have anything to spare, please help him reach his goal. His gfm is in the link here, thank you so much for your time 🕊️🍉

"Please, do not ignore my story. Your donation and sharing this message is a part of your humanity and support for us. Every help, no matter how small, makes a huge difference in my life and my children's lives. Be our voice, be the hope for those who have lost everything." 🇵🇸🍉🙏🏼

✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #521 )✅️

Share, donate, help us survive. 🕊️❤️

In a corner of Gaza, my family and I are drowning in destruction, with the echoes of suffering surrounding us. I sat beside my modest tent, hastily erected after losing my home in the latest bombing. The faces of my family tell stories of patience and resilience, with lines of time etched upon them, as if they were records of unforgettable events. 🇵🇸⏳🍉

I once lived in a small home, filled with the laughter and voices of my children. Today, I have become a witness to the agony of displacement. The bombing forced me to flee with my children after a shell struck our home, leaving behind years of memories and simple belongings I never imagined would become unreachable. 🏚️💨

Every morning, I leave my tent and go to work, using a clay oven to provide food for my children. Meanwhile, my youngest son heads to the charity kitchens that offer aid, waiting for long hours under Gaza’s scorching sun. Despite the exhaustion that weighs down his frail body, he carries the food mixed with his tears and returns with a fake smile, hiding behind it the burdens of his struggles. 🍞🥀

At night, when everyone else is asleep, I remain seated at the entrance of my tent, gazing at the dark sky, reminiscing about days gone by… about my home that was once filled with warmth. Yet, I still find remnants of hope in my heart—a hope that one day peace will return, and my children and I will live in a new home, filled with joy. 🌙🏡✨

In moments of solitude, I find peace in prayer and supplication. I plead to God to protect Gaza and its people, to wipe away the dust of sorrow from our hearts. I always repeat🇵🇸🍉🌿

"We are here to remind the world that we are stronger than war, and we will rebuild our lives anew, no matter the cost!" 🙏

Dear, free world: Apathy No More!

When piles and piles of people are apathetic when it comes to the genocide unfolding in Gaza, be the source of relief, hope, and support for the stranded helpless besieged people there. Astonishingly, our life in Gaza turned upside down in an instant?! We woke up one day to realize that a massive-scale war was to be launched against more than 2 million people in Gaza. My Facebook timeline was filled with countless posts in which Gazans publicly asked for forgiveness before their expected imminent mass murder. Can you imagine what it feels like reading all these scary posts and wondering if you should say a final 'Goodbye'?!

Then, Gazans ventured on their own version of Via Dolorosa (Way of Suffering) which included multiple forced displacements, acute life-threatening shortages of water and food, lost jobs, humiliation, mass destruction, injuries, and murder.

It is beyond shocking and sickening how desensitized our world has become to see all the horrifying images of children's body parts scattered everywhere and not lift a finger to stop this ruthless and inhumane genocide. I can say with all certitude on behalf of my people in Gaza that we have lost hope in all the vile desensitized regimes and politicians of the world.

However, we still have strong faith in the lovers and supporters of our just cause who never cease to shower us with their heartwarming words of support and uplifting wishes. Our belief in your humanity and support for our just cause drives us to ask you for help in this worst crisis in our history since the Nakba.

Family is the most precious thing that keeps us going in this life. Help me get my family to safety in Egypt until this vicious war is over. Please Donate, share my fundraiser everywhere, and reblog this post.

I have never met a ship that fits the "you should be addicted to shutting the fuck up" "you want to fuck me so bad it makes you look stupid" dynamic as perfectly as Arthur and Eames
