Forever trapped in the "unrequited crush" phase

It's pride month y'all can't Cupid cut me some slack

[starchilddante]

The Perks of Being a Wallflower has got me fucked up, I kid you not. Why was I not informed of this book that would see straight into my soul sooner?

HAPPY PRIDE EVERYONE I FORGOT TO PUT OUT A POST YESTERDAY

[starchilddante]

You're never too old to be bad at something.

We live in a world where once you get old, you need to be good at what you do, and it keeps people from trying new things.

In case you need a reminder: it's okay to do something because you love it. It's okay to be bad at something and do it anyway.

My Journey to Escape the War in Gaza

My name is Abdelmajed. I never imagined I’d be sharing my story like this, but life in Gaza has become unbearable. I am a survivor of the war here, and in the blink of an eye, everything I once knew—my home, my safety, my community—was ripped away from me.

The war has transformed Gaza into a graveyard of broken dreams. The buildings that once stood as symbols of life and resilience are now piles of rubble. Every corner is filled with the echoes of explosions. Every moment is shrouded in uncertainty. There is no security. There is no stability. There is no light at the end of the tunnel.

Basic needs have become luxuries. Food is scarce. Clean water is even scarcer. Hospitals are overwhelmed and under-resourced, and there is almost no medical care to be found. Every night, families go to bed hungry, praying they’ll wake up to see another day. The cost of basic necessities has skyrocketed, and it’s become a daily battle just to survive.

I’ve seen things I never thought possible—standing in long lines for a piece of bread, rationing every drop of water, and watching my people suffer in silence. I have lost everything—my home, my safety, my dignity.

Escape from Gaza is my only hope, but it’s almost impossible without financial help. The cost of evacuation is far beyond my means, and without support, I’m trapped in a warzone with no way out.

I’m reaching out to you now, in the hopes that someone, anyone, can help. I am not asking for luxury. I am asking for a chance—just a chance—to live. A chance to escape this never-ending cycle of fear, destruction, and loss. A chance to rebuild my life somewhere safe, where I can begin again, where I can find hope once more.

Any amount you can give will help me get closer to safety. Even the smallest donation will make a difference—it could be the lifeline I need to survive. If you are unable to donate, please share my story. The more people who hear it, the better the chance that I can find the support I desperately need.

Your kindness and support mean the world to me. You’re not just helping me escape a war; you’re giving me a chance to live, to rebuild, to breathe again.

Thank you for listening. Thank you for caring.

Little Nightmares: Tales from the Nowhere

In honor of the upcoming Little Nightmares 3, I'm doing a fan series of short stories depicting other children in the Nowhere!

The first story features The Hunter.

I'm also very interested in taking requests, so reach out if you have any concepts you'd like to see further explored from Little Nightmares 1 or 2!

[starchilddante]

Who's waiting (impatiently) for Little Nightmares 3 because boy am I foaming at the mouth for a Tarsier studios game.

Anyone excited for Reanimal?

GUYS I WAS IN THE PSYCH WARD FOR 3 MONTHS I AM SO SORRY

I think I'm back for good now. Maybe less fan-related content, but back nonetheless. It has been a wild ride but I'm doing much better than I was!

Fear is around the same age as Joy, which is why they both have long hair. Fear is very timid, still harboring the childish fears we did long ago. I used to have this obnoxious Valentine's dress and princess boots I wanted to wear everyday because having one thing the same made me feel safe. Like I had an ounce of control.

When depressions effects arise more in Fear, she becomes unable to speak, only able to communicate a thoughtless noise of primal terror. She doesn't know we wont be beaten now. And because of depression, she often has no words to articulate why she's so afraid.

[starchilddante]

So, I've wanted to do this since the first Inside Out movie, and I'm finally getting around to it: What would my emotions look like?

I designed Joy first, so she's the roughest. She has long hair and my old Sunday school dress. She never grew up, partly because she couldn't very often contribute while I was growing up. She feels guilty even though all the others assure her it's not her fault. She only knows how to work using imagination, so she's stayed young.

She (like all the other emotions) is sick with depression, a living entity that developed in the system when I was 5 or 6. Depression isn't usually malicious, and particularly soothed by Joy and clings to her. Joy loves the little creature and has grown up with it, but depression makes her weak, sick, and ineffective. However, depression can't be separated or imposed on because it goes out of control (more on that later)

New emotions soon.

[starchilddante]

Is this lazy? Sure.

Am I using it to cope with the hell that is finals? Yes.

[starchilddante]

Holy shit, I'm back from the dead. Man, being mentally ill is weird.

[starchilddante]

Can I just say I am SO SORRY for going dead for so long!! I got into my dream school and I've spent so much time prepping myself mentally and trying to take care of things that I completely abandoned my favorite community and I AM SO SORRY.

Some cool updates

I'm engaged now! (To my boyfriend as of July 20th hehe)

Made it to my dream school, living in Nashville now

I've written more music! (Not a lot, but still)

I read 53 books this summer (still trying to read more)

I'll be back on as regularly as I can be now!! I missed you guysssss....

[starchilddante]

I wonder if the thing that weirded out the most Blitz was the fact that Stolas didn't laughed at his jokes

Cause he always used to do that, even when no one else did

[starchilddante]
