Does Nero's Mother have a name?

in my head, i call her katerina. it’s still tentative but i think it suits her :)

[hejee]

Tell us more about your headcanons for Vergil? C: 👀 I'm loving the PGR stuff too, tbh. Vergil is so sweet and awkward and polite! It's adorable!

headcanons? hm. i mostly headcanon him as a touch-starved dweeb that never ever shares his personal life with anyone (maybe except nero’s mother but she has to wait for him to open up). he likes only a certain kind of pastry (Blueberry danish) and would probably live as a hermit after dmc5 (nero and co would visit him from time to time).

sadly, i think he has a great sense of dry humor. it’s just hidden away underneath that 9263735 layers of ice that’s currently melting. i think he misses nero’s mom a lot but is the type to just keep his mouth shut bc talking abt her will hurt him more lol

some doodles and a wip of vergil and my nero’s mother/lir oc

[hejee]

Due to a very very funny interaction with a family member ive come to ask

How do you think vergil would deal with a relatively drunk LIR

he'd just give her some water and a bucket nearby. if she fell asleep, he'd just let her be and cover her with a warm blanket. he'd stay by her side just in case she wakes up

[hejee]

hii just here to say i can’t stop thinking about your lir so could i please ask for some lore of her🥺🥺

no pressure of course!! absolutely love all of your art <3

ah hello anon! her name is katerina and she's a sorceress from a clan in the mainland italy. her parents are migrants from the philippines but they died in an accident(?) when she was 13 so she has to live with her aunt in fortuna afterwards

[hejee]

Holy shit, your V is gorgeous! All your art is lovely, but I was just struck by how good he looks!

Also, tell us more about V meeting baby Nero and the Lady in Red? 👀 That seems like a neat AU.

thank you! i never had much hcs about V meeting baby nero and lir besides this but id like to think that he's confused abt nero but then it all clicks on him when he spent some time with them (and he's hurt and full of self loathing afterwards)

[hejee]

From Under the Rubble... I Write My Story 🌿

I never thought I would write these words… 😔

I never imagined waking up to endless screams,

Running barefoot through smoke and fire,

Searching for my mother among the rubble,

Only to find nothing but silence… a heavy silence telling me that no one will answer me anymore. 💔

In one moment, everything changed.

Our home became a memory, my mother’s embrace became the past,

And my father's face, now absent, is the last thing I hold in my memory.

They’re gone… and left my heart burdened with unspoken grief. 😢

But despite everything, we are still here… trying.

I survived with my younger siblings.

Yes, we survived… but who are we after survival?

Children without warmth, without a roof, with no place to return to.

We were displaced to an unknown place, carrying a bag empty of everything… except pain. 🥀

We slept in the open, waking every morning to a life that holds nothing for us,

But despite everything… we keep trying. 💪

I write to you today not to cry, but to ask for hope. 🌱

I ask you to be a small light in this vast darkness,

To extend a hand that can mend what the war has broken in us.

Your donation will give my siblings a chance to sleep safely,

It will provide us with food, shelter, and maybe even a new beginning. 💖

✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #586 )✅️

Any amount, no matter how small, is big for us

It’s a prayer, it’s love, it’s life. 🌟

In conclusion...

From my heart, and from the hearts of my little siblings,

Thank you to everyone who has donated,

Thank you to everyone who has read,

Thank you to everyone who has shared.

You are the proof that goodness does not die, and that humanity has no boundaries. 💚

[hejee]

I just wanted to say that it makes me very happy seeing you draw the lady in red with fat rolls (I don't know the medical term, I'm sorry) because I never see it all that often

thank u! ngl i never noticed it bc i tend to draw people with fat rolls? body rolls? but im glad u liked it

Hope I'm not being weird or anything...

But I am in love with your lady In Red. I keep finding your drawings all over Pinterest of the two and I'm in love. 😍😍

oh my god yeah someone decided to repost all of my stuff on twitter which is really funny (and annoying) but thank you 😭

[hejee]

Hiiii, sorry if this is a lil random but

Do you think LIR would encourage vergil to try and build a sibling-like relationship with trish since shes technically family (to an extent)

I believe most people think vergil would be somewhat hostile towards trish, so I wanted to ask how you think LIR would handle it

lir is such a blank character that i'm viewing her as some sort of OC at this point. and in my head, I think she'd respect vergil's decision about his somewhat wary opinions towards trish (but she'll still befriend her in her part lol)

she'd know that vergil would eventually warmup (to an extent) to trish within time and his own comfort, like a snotty cat getting introduced to a new cat in the household.

although, it would be funny if their interaction is like in MvC and they'd be like those catty siblings/cousins.

💬 Just a Small Update, and a Big Thank You

Dear friends, kind hearts, and everyone who has stood with us,

When I first opened my heart to the world and shared our story, I never imagined the amount of love and solidarity we would receive. Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve now reached $12,837—a milestone that brings real light to some very dark days.

From the deepest corners of my heart, thank you.

💔 A Journey of Loss, but Also of Strength

As many of you know, I’ve lost 25 of my loved ones during this devastating war. That grief lives with me every single day. It’s in the silence that once held laughter, in the empty spaces where we once gathered as a family.

But through your help, I’ve also felt something else: hope. And that hope is priceless.

“21/Oct/2023 Before It Reached Us: The Day Our Neighbor’s House Was Destroyed” A quiet moment of fear, filmed just before everything changed.

“22/Oct/2023 The Morning After: Our Family Home in Ruins” This is what was left behind after the bombing of our home.

🌿 What Life Looks Like for Us Now

Despite everything, we’re still here. Still surviving. Still hoping.

But things have only gotten harder.

The war has returned, more brutal than before—and for over a month now, Gaza has been completely sealed off. No food is coming in. No medical supplies. No aid. No trade. No one is allowed to leave, and no one is allowed to enter.

We’re trapped.

🏚 We live with the fear of tomorrow, every single day. Airstrikes, drones, and the uncertainty of what might happen next. 👨‍👩‍👧 Our family is forever changed—we haven’t just lost people; we’ve lost pieces of ourselves. 📉 Basic needs go unmet—even clean water feels like a luxury now. Medicines, if they exist at all, are unreachable.

And yet…

Your support reminds us that we’re not forgotten. It reminds us that someone, somewhere, is still listening. That someone still cares. That we’re not completely alone in this.

Every message. Every share. Every dollar. It tells us: You’re walking this road with us. And that gives us the strength to keep going.

💖 What You Can Do

If you’ve already donated—thank you beyond words. If you can share our story again, it could reach someone who can help.

Even $5 means warmth, comfort, and a chance to breathe a little easier.

✨ Why It All Matters

This isn’t just about reaching a fundraising goal. It’s about surviving war with dignity. It’s about believing in tomorrow. It’s about making sure my daughter grows up knowing that the world did not look away.

Thank you for your kindness, patience, and belief in our humanity. You’ve helped me find my voice—and I will use it to keep hope alive.

🙏 From the Heart: A Quiet Apology

There’s something I need to say—something that’s been on my heart for some time.

When I first began sharing our story, I didn’t know what the right way was. I was scared, grieving, and trying to protect my family in any way I could. I reached out to many people, hoping someone, anyone, would see us. In that process, I now realize I may have overstepped, and I might have made some feel overwhelmed.

If that happened, I am truly sorry.

Please believe me when I say it was never out of disregard or pushiness. It came from a place of fear—fear of being forgotten, fear of not being able to keep my family safe, fear of watching everything I love slip away in silence.

I’m learning as I go. I’ve slowed down. I’m more mindful now, trying to share our journey in a way that feels respectful of the space and hearts of those listening.

If my words ever came at the wrong time, or in the wrong way, I hope you can understand where they came from—and I hope you can forgive me.

Thank you for seeing past my mistakes. Thank you for still being here. It means more than I can ever explain.

With love and endless gratitude, Mosab and family ♥️
