🌸 From One Mother’s Heart – Please Read 🌸

My name is Saja. I’m a wife, a mother, and a woman who once believed her story would be simple. I thought my days would be filled with watching my daughter grow — from her first smile to her first steps — surrounded by the small joys of everyday life.

But life had other plans.

War has returned to our home. Again. And once again, we find ourselves living under skies that never seem to rest.

There was a moment — a fragile, breathless moment — when the bombs paused and the world seemed to remember us. It gave us hope. We thought maybe, just maybe, we could start to rebuild. But now, we are back in the dark — hiding, holding on, praying.

I’m writing this not as someone seeking pity, but as a mother who has no other choice but to speak.

Imagine holding your baby in the middle of the night, not because she cried, but because the world outside roared too loud for either of you to sleep. Imagine whispering bedtime stories not to lull her into dreams, but to keep the fear from settling into her tiny bones.

This is my life.

This is my daughter’s life.

And even now — especially now — I believe in softness. I believe in kindness. Because when everything else is taken from you, hope becomes the most valuable thing you have.

Why I’m Reaching Out Our home has been damaged. Our lives changed. But through it all, my daughter wakes up every morning with a smile. She reaches for me with trust, with love, with faith that I will keep her safe.

That’s why I keep going.

I’ve launched a campaign to ask for help — not because it’s easy, but because silence is no longer an option. I am asking for support not just for me, but for my baby, and for the quiet strength of so many mothers like me who are fighting, every single day, to hold their families together.

How You Can Help: 🤍 Help us restore parts of our home so we can live with dignity 🤍 Support women and mothers in Gaza with access to care and resources 🤍 Keep the light of hope alive for a generation born in the shadows of war

💛 If you can, please support our journey here:

If you can’t give, please consider sharing. Your voice might be the reason someone else hears ours.

From My Heart to Yours Maybe our lives are worlds apart. Maybe you’ve never lived through war. But if you’ve ever held a child and wished the world could be better for them — then you understand more than you know.

I don’t want my daughter to grow up thinking the world turned away.

Please, if you’ve read this far — thank you. Thank you for seeing us. Thank you for caring. We are still here. Still hoping. Still holding on to every kind act like it’s a lifeline.

With love and endless gratitude

Stormbringer quotes, because the storm is indeed coming. [SPOILER WARNING]

Some Stormbringer quotes since I've been so inactive on this blog and I still adore Stormbringer. [I would put the whole book if I could]

☄. *. ⋆ "Because humans are flawed and illogical..." - Adam Frankenstein, page 37 ☄. *. ⋆ "The same moment, the gravitational irregularities vanished along with Chuuya's suffering." - page 67 ☄. *. ⋆ "He's gonna be okay thanks to you. You always were amazing like that. You should be proud." - Chuuya Nakahara, page 69 ☄. *. ⋆ "The black wraith of the Port Mafia." - page 100 [not going to list anymore except for one of my favourites] ☄. *. ⋆ "He wore an unusual expression, like he was thinking of what to say and how to say it as he tossed the words around in his head. It was an expression Dazai would never make." - page 298

UGH, this made me tear up.

I love the idea that there was profound understanding that they were similar but couldn't fully understand each other to a greater extent.

I love soukoku.

FOURTH AND FINAL!1!1 officially 9.05am and done with the night and the comic

part 1!!

part2!!!

and part 3!!!

I like to think that when Dazai isn’t extremely annoying AND is going through a rough patch (those two don’t often happen together) he calls him buddy awkwardly because he has no idea what to do

IM CRYING

Break whats fixable

Exerpt from the Tales of the Dead Apple

STOP im actually in tears

Port Mafia members being regularly referred to as dogs.

Akutugawa is the "Rabid dog" of the Port Mafia. Dazai during his Port Mafia days constantly refers to Chuuya as his dog.

And yet Dazai himself has been described as being like a "burnt black cat."

By Odasaku.

The same person who gives Dazai the advice to leave the Port Mafia. To him Dazai is a cat in an organisation full of dogs.

This is not the place for him.

And where do Odasaku's words guide Dazai too? Joining the Agency.

The one that is ran by a man who loves cats and will one day have a weretiger join its ranks.

This is where you belong.

Err

i am a believer that chuuya went into a bad mental state after the sb things and all so many things changed about him, mainly the way he used to smile before and he seemed to not be so loud or emotional anymore. i mean, it was still chuuya, but. he looked tired of everything. of everything that happened. and it changed him to someone tired.

why is teruko sexist? I don't see it

(*On why the Teruko scene is sexist, not Teruko herself)

Imagine being a female character in a seinen manga.

You've got near zero character elaboration or growth or expansion. Readers literally know nothing about you. You don't have a backstory. Your only role so far has seemed to be moving the plot forward. And now there's just been two intensely homoerotic chapters between two main male characters, and at the resolution of those, you're required to enter the stage. However, it's not of your own volition; it's to solve the command of what one of the two male character had previously ordered you. The command, specifically, is to kill him. That brings you immense pain, because apparently your love for him was deep and true (and not an ignorable irrelevant side gag as some readers hoped). By the way, you're killing him to spare that PRECISE feeling of pain born from having to kill a loved one to the other male character, because of course your commander wouldn't put him through that, but making you suffer the same is fine apparently.

So now you've killed him, right? I mean you impaled the man with your own hands, and yeah maybe he ordered you to do that so it wasn't your decision and you don't have free will or freedom of choice and never will in this franchise, and yeah maybe you're being used again as nothing but a plot device, and yeah maybe you're only making nothing more than a four pages appearance again despite the last two chapters having been nothing but male spotlight, and yeah maybe you were once again delegated to the role of love interest to a man who doesn't requite your feelings– but at least you can claim to have done that, right? You can say you killed him! Maybe, if the author feels merciful, they'll even spare a few panels to elaborate on how doing that effected you.

Wrong. You didn't kill him. The cool action doesn't belong to you. You can't own it. The honour of doing that, the courage, the pain, the determination and moral conflict it required, it's not yours to retain, to posses, to show off. You're now submitting your sword – your sword!! The symbol of your role and of your power and a great motif for your character! – to the other male character. You're screaming, “You killed him! You are the one who cut down the captain! Any other story, and I'll make you regret it!”. That is the story. The story is his, it's theirs, not yours. There was no space for you in it since the beginning. There's tears in your eyes.

Imagine being a female character in a seinen manga.

I feel like outside of dark era we really haven’t explored the possibility of people or new characters having the same/similar abilities
