This is Lama, 4 years old, who has a metal fragment in her hand from the war. Her twin, Alma, is also 4, and their sister Lina is 6.

They are innocent children living through fear, hunger, and bombing.

They grew up with explosions, sleeping by candlelight, always worried about survival.

Hospitals are destroyed—no treatment, no medicine, no safety.

Even simple things like milk, fever medicine, or clean water are just dreams.

I’m their father, and all I want is to save them from this nightmare.

I don’t want to lose any of them or tell them I couldn’t help.

Please help us get them out. Donate if you can, share if you can’t. Every bit helps.

Every day, the situation in Gaza gets worse. Every minute, a child dies. There is no treatment, no hospitals, no schools, and not even homes to live in. Gaza is no longer livable.

There is no food, no clean water. The situation is catastrophic and beyond what words can describe. Think deeply about these heartbreaking words. My family and I are living in this hell, waiting for the border to open so we can escape as soon as possible. But we don’t have enough money to flee.

Please, help me do something. Donate here, I beg you.

Twilight (from Spy Family) and Yor are so aroace coded and that’s very special to me hfkdhdkdhdksk

Gaza is not just a headline. Gaza is me, my family, and my home — a home I’m not sure will still be standing tomorrow. My mother is sick, and we’re struggling to find even bread and medicine under this blockade and bombing. This fundraiser is my way of resisting — not with weapons, but by trying to keep my loved ones alive.

If you feel helpless watching what’s happening… help me. Donate. Share. Speak up for Gaza. Because silence kills too. Donate to his GOFUNDME(1 Dollar equals 10.96 SEK) and CHUFFED (Chuffed allows dollars)

Fun Karlach things revealed from party banter/dialogue/cutscenes (these are all 100% canonical to any run, as they are her talking about her past, these all appear in naturally accessable in-game dialogue):

She can touch demons and devils and other infernal creatures without hurting them, but opted not to in those ten years in Avernus as she says she's "not a masochist."*

She has had numerous past relationships, sexual in nature, which she describes as "quick to flare and quick to fade."

She says she was still sorting out "jumping into bed with anything with a pulse" and looking for more long-term relationships when she was sent to Avernus.

There are other infernal creatures running around with infernal engines in them but she thinks she's the only one from Faerun who survived the process (she knows others were tried but didn't make it.)

Loves a good bar fight/brawl (obvious but still cute.)

Likes walking around barefoot in the grass (which she calls "grassing", and she enjoys a good "frolic".)

Isn't keen to travel by boat down the Chionthar (from Moonrise) as her mum said the river was unlucky.

Liked to go swimming as a kid (presumably still does - after she's temperature corrected. Prior to that she mentions fear of boiling fish and her friends alive.)

Worries about being out of date, fashion wise, having been gone from Baulder's Gate for ten years.

Her mother's name is Caerlach (pronounced same as her daughter), and her father's name is Pluck. Their last name, Cliffgate, is the same as one of the lower city entries in Baulder's Gate.

Her dad was a porter and her mom was a laundress. They were poor but loving and fun.

They were poor but NOT destitute - Karlach mentions their household multiple times, and having her friends visit her family in their home. She also went to school (teasing that she'll cheer up Gale by saying she hasn't read "since school").**

When she was a teen her mom passed from illness during a plague when the family couldn't afford a healer quickly enough. Her dad passed a few years after when he was crushed by his own overturned cart on the road.

There's some discrepancy about when she started working for Gortash, in the cemetery she says her parents would have seen him for who he was (implying she did not spend much if any time around him prior to their deaths). In the shadow lands she mentions he 'got his claws into her early' and that she earned enough to help her family move into a better place in the city under his employ (it's entirely possible she's referring to moving their bodies post-mortem though).

She was a young adult (describes herself as 'not-quite-kid') while in Gortash's employ, worked for him for a good span of time, and spent 10 years in Avernus. This means she's likely well into her 30s by the time of game events.

She, to her own admission in her origin, loved Gortash, but also explains that it was not romantic in nature (stating distinctly to the player character "not like that"). She clearly looked up to him as her boss and was deeply betrayed when sold to Zariel.

She lived with her friend Fitz when working for Gortash, who also worked for him at the time. Gortash lied to everyone around her about what happened to her (saying that she moved away suddenly.)

She does note up on meeting Gortash's parents and finding out they sold him to a warlock that he's repeated the same cycle on her.***

Fun fact: "Carlach/Caerlach" in the IRL is a relatively rare Scottish surname likely derived from MacThearlaich ("son of Charles" - typical naming convention dating back to pre- Norman conquest Brittan). Karlach is a very rare spelling of the name and probably was further anglicization on immigration to America (showing up in the 1920s.) As Karlach's mother has the same name as her, spelled differently - one could infer that perhaps her family passed it down in a way that felt more "Bauldrian" to them or was in some way easier to spell.

*Because I've seen this wrong elsewhere - it's not the material plane that's making her untouchable, it's the engine itself. Her engine stops actively hurting her when Raphael teleports you to the House of Hope in Act I - but she's still not touchable without fixing based on this dialogue.

**I've also seen this wrong - Karlach was never an orphaned street urchin and I don't know where people get this impression. Gortash did not "take her in" or mentor her, he was very clearly her boss, albeit one she was friends with and looked up to.

***She does not mean this as a literal one for one, of course, just that someone she trusted sold her to an infernal for his own gain.

One bag of flour has become a dream for my children who cannot sleep because of the severity of hunger on their intestines.💔🍉

The price of one bag of flour is $500.!

I hope that those with compassionate hearts, anyone who has humanity in this world, will contribute to buying it, as my children have been afflicted with dehydration. I hope to collect the amount before it is too late. This will contribute to saving us from death.

I just recently learned a cat fact that is so Robotnik coded that I had to share.

When cats headbutt you, they're doing more than just saying, 'I like this human'. They're essentially scent marking them, letting other cats in the area know that 'This one right here? Mine. This is my human now.'

I imagine Ivo would do something akin to that without really thinking about it once he finally accepted Stone into the lab. Maybe not nessicarily headbutts, but random shoulder pats/bumps/checks, leaving pieces of his own clothes on the backs of chairs so the smell rubs off on him, sets an air freshner around Stone's work area that smells like his own home.

Ivo can see that he's doing it and recognizes the patterns. But he can't fathom for the life of him, why he keeps on doing it. Stone is confused, and wonders if the doctor thinks he smells bad.

I like to think he does this regularly!

to imagine 👇

that one day you lost everything you built in one second

Your home... your work... your loved ones... your friends... your family...

On top of that, you live in a tent without electricity, water, or even food, because all your money was burned and torn apart under the walls of your shattered house!!

There is so much in your heart that you cannot speak because of the weight and horror of what you are going through now!!

Frankly and briefly, the situation in Gaza cannot be written about in a mere post or expressed in a mere picture or video clip. The situation in Gaza is more like an end-of-the-world movie, but this movie is titled The End of Gaza!!

please help us until this farce ends.I will be grateful to everyone who supported me and my family in this stifling humanitarian crisis.

absolutely diabolical that a fic will have the most beautiful summary ever and have you think that you're going to read some really good fluff or angst and the first content warning is anal fisting

There have to be some monsters, don’t there? Because otherwise how could all of this be happening? Why wouldn’t someone have put a stop to it yet? How could we possibly make sense of the evidence of our eyes if there was kindness and courage buried deep in all of us and all we had to do was listen to it? Wouldn’t it be just truly fucking awful if it was only people out here and nothing else?
