Palestinian Miku!

I CAN'T STOP THINKING OF THIS STUPID FUCKING DELETED SCENE

THIS ONE

[nikoco11]

there is something horrifically grim to it, but illustrations for gaza and palestinians tend to catch more mass attention that actual photos of people. this made me feel incredibly helpless for a long while, seeing both how people would rather look at a neat drawing of red black green and white than look a human in the eyes, and how online platforms would rather push a viral drawing while suppressing those begging for help at the same time.

a way to cope with this feeling has been taking advantage of it to directly guide people to helping palestinians.

if art gets better traction, then there’s an incredible amount of good that can be done by creating art that immediately links to fundraisers. creating art of the many images of those who are asking for help.

within hours of posting my drawing, there has been jumps in the thousands for bashar from gaza’s fundraiser. it’s a small effort in the grand scheme of things. it’s not a fix it. but it’s something good. please take care of each other and do what you can. i think this could help a lot of people if a lot of people did it.

here is bashar. i’ve drawn him, spoken to him, and known him now for a few months. any shares help, any art helps. draw who you see, draw what you see. thanks all

Not A vampire Related post like usual On my blog

But I Just wanted to share with you, a time quite a while back now where me and my good friend @krakengoggles (I don't know if you'll remember this) were discussing this:

(screen reader ID: A videogame screenshot in a pixel art style, of a creature with the body of a pterosaur and the head of a deer, it is named Furball)

Playing some Lets Build A Zoo, showed off this hybrid creature, cute and innocent right?

But then I got on the discussion of what if it looked cute and innocent, but as soon as it opens it's mouth, that's when it becomes some kind of eldritch nightmare?

the game lets you be morally grey as it is so why not!

(screen reader ID: A somewhat low quality doodle of this exact concept)

I can't draw very well but the concept is it can open its jaw and split it so it's basically Vertical and inside is a bunch of jagged ugly sharp teeth, like an eel but with rows like a shark, and a forked tongue but like unnecessary long like a chameleons.

So like, somebody will be like, "Aww cute!" And go to pet it and then it ends up they immediately regret it when it opens it's mouth almost 180⁰ and nearly bites off an arm!

feel free to draw what I mean if you are so compelled and are better at drawing than me!

so that family photo, eh

[evelina-maar]

This is Bisan Owda (@wizard_bisan1 on IG), she's a young journalist who's been documenting the daily life in Gaza, Palestine since before October of last year and continues to do so now, as her and her family have been displaced by Israel, her home and workplace destroyed in the bombings. If you don't already follow her, I highly suggest to do so, as she takes interviews from the local people in the refugee camps and provides a fantastic insight into Palestinians as a nation, their culture and the horrors they face under the Israeli apartheid regime in their own land.🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Here is a Happy moment for me in this war when I was able to get chard leaves for the first time in this famine we face every day Verified by @90-ghosthere Olive Branch, line 508 of their spreadsheet Thank you all for the Love ,Support,Donations you send me !! I won't ever forget it! Ever!!

Hello, I am Mahasen,a Digital Artist from North Gaza, where creativity thrives despite challenges. My father passed away, making me the main provider for my family.

Before the war, I worked in motion graphics with international companies, specializing in character design and storyboarding.

The conflict forced us to evacuate repeatedly, and our home was damaged. My essential art equipment and tablet were stolen and destroyed, representing years of hard work and creativity. Now, we are homeless, unsafe, sick, and financially insecure.

Our family includes:

My mother, 62.

My sister Mai, 35, visually impaired.

Myself, Mahasen, 31.

My brother Mohammed, 28, visually impaired, and his wife Iman, 28.

My youngest brother Amin, 21.

Your support is crucial to help me rebuild and ensure my family's safety and survival. Your contribution will replace my tools and restore our hope and creativity.
