🚨 My Name is Nasr — and This is Our Cry for Help 🚨

I’m writing this with a heart full of pain and hope.

My name is Nasr, a young man from Gaza, and I’m sharing our story not because I want to—but because I have to.

💔 The war took everything from us.

In just moments, my entire world collapsed.

My mother and sister were killed in an airstrike.

My father is seriously ill and unable to work or provide for us.

Now I am the one responsible for my younger siblings—little children who have seen more horror than any child should.

We used to live a simple life.

We weren’t rich, but we had love and hope.

Now, we sleep under the open sky, surrounded by fear and uncertainty.

Every night, I wonder how I’ll feed them tomorrow.

Every morning, I’m just thankful we’re still alive.

This is not just my story. This is our fight to survive.

We are now struggling to afford even the basics:

A home, food, medicine, and safety.

Right now, we need your kindness more than ever.

Even $10 💵 can help us:

Buy food for the children 🍞

Get essential medicine for my father 💊

Buy them clothes or warm blankets 🧥

Give them a small sense of safety

If you can’t donate, you can still help.

🔁 Re-share this post. Spread our story.

You never know who might see it and feel moved to help.

We are not just numbers. We are human. We are survivors. And we’re asking you… please don’t look away.

🙏 Help us survive. Help us feel human again.

Hi! Would you consider making a bluesky for AO3's status? I deleted my Twitter account and with the way that site works now you can't see an account's latest tweets if you're not logged in.

Hi bumblewyn!

I have wonderful news - we already did!

jon thinking "winterfell belongs to the old gods" and then saying "winterfell belongs to my sister sansa". then sansa praying to her father's gods more and more after the "come to the godswood tonight, if you want to go home". "you're the heir to winterfell"

“Ghost,” he whispered. Pain washed over him. *Stick them with the pointy end.* When the third dagger took him between the shoulder blades, he gave a grunt and fell face-first into the snow. He never felt the fourth knife.

Only the cold …"

My fav jonsa foreshadowing is the 'blood of winterfell' bit. Because while all the Starks identify strongly with wolf/Stark/winterfell/north motifs, this term is only ever used for Jon and Sansa, and once by Stannis for a potential ruler of Winterfell. Its on the nose that whose blood will continue the Stark line.

hi, anon! that is a really interesting bit of foreshadowing. considering how often discussions of the stark family, winterfell, and the succession thereof come up over the course of the series, it seems pointed that this specific phrase—"the blood of winterfell"—exists but is only mentioned on these specific occasions.

jon calls himself "the blood of winterfell" in asos as part of a drug-addled fever-dream he has where he is bathing with ygritte in the pool beneath the heart tree at winterfell. specifically, he says it as a reclamation of his identity after having finally fled the wildlings. considering that he also repeats that he is a man of the night's watch, it seems as though jon is repeating what qhorin halfhand told him right before jon killed him and joined the freefolk. thus, the phrase bookends his time with them. this bookending imbues the phrase with even more significance. this is jon's mantra for reminding himself of who he really is even while he is playing traitor among the freefolk.

in the dream, he also says it as part of a denial of his relationship with ygritte: "i will not father a bastard." but of course ygritte's response in the dream is "you know nothing, jon snow." he didn't father a bastard with ygritte...so why is his declaration being refuted?

this phrase "the blood of winterfell" comes up immediately before jon speaks about fathering children...with his kissed-by-fire lover with whom he is in a sexually-charged situation in the godswood at winterfell. it's really hard not to see a huge amount of foreshadowing in this!

and then, as if that were not enough, the phrase "the blood of winterfell" shows up again twice more. once in sansa's POV in affc where she too is using it as a mantra to remind herself of her identity while playing the role of littlefinger's bastard. and once more in jon's POV in adwd when stannis is trying yet again to persuade jon to serve him as lord of winterfell and jon is yet again reaffirming that winterfell should be sansa's. so, first the phrase gets attached to jon's identity and then to sansa's, and then to both of theirs during the same conversation.

so, to review, the phrase "the blood of winterfell" is used to:

reaffirm jon's true identity while he is playing a role that goes against it

reclaim jon's true identity when is done playing the part

refute the idea that jon will father a bastard with ygritte, while hinting that he might still break his vow to father no sons

reaffirm sansa's true identity when she is playing a role that goes against it

describe who is worthy of becoming the future ruler of winterfell

the fact that this phrase is only used these four specific times, and these are the associations it has...? yeah, the foreshadowing is practically screaming at us.

I need to stop overanalysing my color schemes because it ends up with this mess but anyways; Catelyn Tully, i love you🫶

[littlebird-whitewolf]

I wish Catelyn Stark could see what became of Jon Snow.

I love their relationship because it's so complex. Of course Jon deserved a loving mother -- but when Ned came home from war with a bastard babe, Catelyn was 17 and married to a man she'd known for like a day, moving to a harsh, cold kingdom with different gods. She was frightened. She was alone. She was little more than a child.

And yet Jon still deserved better.

I just wish Catelyn could watch Jon from whatever afterlife exists in Westeros. I wish she could see him try to desert the Watch when Robb calls the banners. I wish she could hear Jon telling Stannis that Winterfell belongs to Sansa and that he refuses to steal her birthright. I wish she could see Jon sending Mance Rayder after Arya, then finally breaking his vows because he needs to rescue his sister.

I wish she could see everything he did in every alternate universe. The way Sansa ran to him for safety at the wall. The way he raced towards Rickon to try to save him from Ramsey's arrows. The universes where he became King in the North and the ones where he refused because the crown belonged to Sansa or Rickon. The way Needle kept a girl Arya Stark even when she tried to become No One.

Jon shouldn't have to be such a self-sacrificing, loving brother to earn Catelyn's respect. But I think seeing what he did for her children might have changed Catelyn's mind about the Bastard of Winterfell.

The world is very cruel towards Gaza, all governments and presidents talk about the 70 hostages being held, no one talks about the 2 million people who are being starved, killed and displaced daily in addition to dying from the severe cold,

The Gazan citizen was exposed to all kinds of death. What we witnessed in Gaza on the ground, I swear we did not see it in Hollywood. Imagine that citizens and children were burned on television screens and no one, including the leaders, came out to condemn it. Condemns these heinous acts against Palestine We are literally exposed to all kinds of killing, hunger, severe cold, and suffering in all its forms. Words cannot describe what we are going through. Please help us to survive this devastating war.

micheleclapton: Today at my new lockdown desk I finished another drawing of a past costume..it’s interesting to revisit because when you are designing you rarely do a finished drawing that relates to the finished costume.. because the drawing is just part of the process/progress.. it’s a way to explore and speak to your team.. so it’s great to draw the finished piece.. it’s like exploring it again…just sharing! Mx.

PS I cleared up a bit!!
