i made an actual blog to talk about her :-) @hymnofseraph

so i first played DoL two years ago, i think, maybe before that. i had read about it when i went to search for games with yandere characters but surprisingly i didn't care about it back then. then i saw someone playing and actually played it. i created a little character, played it non-stop for a few days, got bored, deleted and so on.

i think what changed this year was that i actually externalized my thoughts about what i did in-game by sharing them with my friend and i actually got 'character lore' down, to the point of creating an OC. i have had her lore spinning in my mind for months. i yap a lot so i'll summarize her lore (as OC) and then put the rest (as player) under the cut :) (but i do not use tumblr a lot so if you see this fail. no you don't) this

is Seraphina.

growing up in the orphanage, she didn't interact with anybody besides bailey. she liked to draw, whatever magical girl anime that might be on TV, and plushies. when Robin came to the orphanage, he got her out of her shell and they became unseparable. unlike many of the orphans, she grew up with her innocence, faith in the world (and bailey) mostly intact, unaware of the shadows in the corners of the town. through hopes of one day leaving the town through means of prince charming, she got attached to the idea of religion and romantic love. to me the hairpin the player starts out with was a gift from her mother with her actual name engraved in it. in a language/script she does not understand. alas.

actually-playing-lore: Seraphina started out as just another orphan trying to get a job, with her own, admittedly, very rose tinted view of the town. Keeping her grades high, doing odd jobs, meeting the LIs. She'd been afraid of Whitney, at first, trusting of Avery (LOL. Lmao.), Sydney and Robin.

A few good weeks were cut short by her first experiences of trauma. Still, she found solace in religion as a coping mechanism - but also doubt (trauma) - which made her get closer to Sydney. She idealized his purity - both because she felt she could suffer less if she were more like him and because it was what she was taught was 'correct'. Then she got sent to the asylum when her trauma stat maxed out. It took her almost a month to be let out of it? because despite not being someone who confronted others at all, she'd found Harper suspicious and refused to trust anything he said. Which extended to attacking everybody she saw. A mental breakdown that led to another mental breakdown that eventually got her out with no awareness and still, some trauma.

After going home, though, she internalized the questions he asked her. Was she doing something that attracted all these things to her? Was she at fault? She lived in this odd place where her innocence remained with her but now with self-blame. She got sent to the asylum again after a while, and she came back kind of... rose tinted as a whole.

She lived in her own world where everything was happy, in a way. Whitney's taunts stopped being so terrifying, compared to the town; she'd even consider him a friend. At the same time, as much as she tried to keep pure, and trusting, she just felt... off. It was like pulling on something and finding it resisting or being pulled back.

Now what actually drove her to the edge was, actually, Ivory Wraith. More specifically, the ear slime. She was extremely terrified of the Wraith, and of course, the slime ruined everything. She got it in her two ears, and it was just like the world turned on its head. Everywhere was unsafe, everyone was unsafe, make it stop. Slowly, Seraphina got broken down into someone who is just going with the motions. She's trying to fight it, but it's like she just lost sight of herself. Sydney has fallen for her (literally) and it's like she just might fall as well (more than she already has).

It's not much (and it's still a summarized version), but. I'm just so. I've been spinning her around in my head randomly for months. Even if no one reads this, I really needed to put it out somewhere.

please look at my daughter

🌿 Help Us Find Peace Amid the Chaos 🌿

Hello, friends.

My name is Mohammed, and I'm reaching out from a place of unimaginable hardship. My family, like so many others in Gaza, is struggling to survive each day. The conflict has taken a heavy toll on our lives, leaving us to face a grim reality, our home has been destroyed, and we are left with nowhere safe to go. 😔

I am the father of three beautiful children, and as a parent, nothing is more painful than watching your kids grow up, surrounded by fear and destruction. Mirn, Bark, and Mariar are the light of my life, but they've never known the joy of running through a park without fear, or playing freely like children should. 💔

We've reached a point where staying here is no longer an option. The walls that once sheltered us now stand in ruins, and hope for a safe future is fading fast. We dream of rebuilding, not just our home, but our lives, somewhere free from the daily fear of war, where my children can sleep peacefully and smile again. 🕊️

But we need your help to make this dream a reality. Your support means more than just money, it's a lifeline. It's a chance for us to begin again.

Every Act of Kindness Brings Us Closer to Safety. Your compassion can help us escape this nightmare. We are asking for your support, no matter how small, to help us start fresh, away from the violence, away from the rubble, and toward a place where my family can heal and grow. Every dollar you contribute is a step toward hope. 🙏

Thank you for standing with us in these difficult times. Your kindness can help us rebuild our lives and find peace again. ❤️‍🩹

With sincere gratitude,

Mohammed and Family

As you may know by now my friend siraj's fund ( @siraj2024 ) for rebuilding his home has now simply become a survival fund due to how dire the situation is in gaza today.

With borders closed, aid workers routinely targetted by the IOF to the point that many orgs including UN officials themselves have paused humanitarian aid efforts in gaza, and barely ANY of the aid being sent making it through the israeli blockade– the best thing you can do is help people like siraj find the means to be self-reliant and provide for themselves and their families.

Will try to keep it short this time round, so please dont look away.

Due to recent displacement of his extended family from deir al balah because of violence by the IOF, siraj's fund is now supporting FIVE families instead of just the one

This means Siraj is now sole provider for 23 people instead of just the 5 it was before.

10 of them are just children between the ages of 6-12, including 3 of siraj's children and their cousins.

His children are already sick with infections and due to the cramped living conditions in the tents, they are all at risk at spreading illnesses between each other.

With so many people depending on him and much of gaza's medical infrastructure being reduce to rubble, it has become imperative that Siraj be able to reduce the risks for them as much as he can possibly can.

Right now Siraj wants to focus on providing clean drinking water.

This will help ensure that the children dont have to walk kilometers on foot to fetch a pail of water, only to constantly put themselves at risk of more debilitating illnesses like polio and hepatitis by having to drink the poisoned water in gaza for survival.

To do this, Siraj has decided to purchase a submersible water generator and some network tools. He needs YOUR support to make this possible.

Hello,

I am Ahmed, 31 years old, with my wife Asmaa and our children: Mohammed (9 years old), Kareem (6 years old), Namer (4 years old), and Sahad (1.5 years old). We have faced many challenges in this war, starting from the destruction of our home to the famine we continue to endure in northern Gaza.

My son Mohammed suffers from motor and

hearing disabilities, among other health

issues. I used to have a workshop for windows, kitchens, and all aluminum work, but due to the war, my livelihood was completely destroyed, and I can no longer meet our basic needs.

This is our home that was destroyed in this terrible war.

My goal is to leave Gaza to save my family's lives. The cost of travel is $5000 per adult and $2500 per child, plus travel and accommodation expenses.

Together, we can support Ahmed and his family during this ordeal. Your donation, regardless of its size, can make a difference in the lives of these children who need a fresh start.

If you're looking to support Ahmed and his family, please consider providing assistance directly or through relevant charitable organizations.

I hope everyone is safe

Ahmed Alanqar

this post is going to stay up forever, but I'm going to reblog this post with a picture of a funny cat I drew wearing big boots. the reblog that has the cat in it will only be available for 5 minutes so good luck if you manage to see or find that version.

I'll add the cat to this post about a minute after posting this. I need to add an image description so it'll take a sec

i come from the 8tracks generation where you weren't allowed to just dump three and a half twee indie folk/tswift records into a fanmix and call it done. on 8tracks you had 8+ handpicked songs in rigid chronological order and an accompanying mission statement and thesis defence detailing exactly why each one applied to your derek x stiles coffee shop au AND cover/track-list art hodgepodged from stolen pinterest/tumblr aesthetic photography, and all of this was done under constant threat of death because it was the DMCA wild west and the site was in a constant state of gradual collapse.

Meet the Mona Lisa of the Prado, the earliest known copy of Da Vinci’s best portrait. Similarity in the undersketch of the painting indicates that this was very likely painted concurrently with the original Mona Lisa, by a student of Da Vinci.

There is much controversy in the art world over the question of whether or not to clean the fragile Mona Lisa, but her sister has been restored and some fairly odd later alterations removed to show the original vibrant colors and lighting. Some details, such as the sheerness of her shawl and the pattern on the neckline of her dress, have become utterly obscured in the original, but in the restored copy they’re perfectly clear.

It blows my mind a little bit to look at these two sisters side-by-side and imagine how much vivid detail could be hiding in the Mona Lisa under 500 years of rotten varnish.
