I saw you're a CSI, Hawaii Five-0, Criminal Minds, NCIS fan and I couldn't help it cause so am I!! Blame(or thank) my grandma because we used to watch those shows EVERY. DAY. together when I was younger and it might be partially why I love true crime and find interest in all things sick and twisted (a little of psychology too cause the human mind is so weirdly intriguing) I just had to come rant
Though I barely remember any episodes of these shows I've been needing to rewatch them in my free time, tho I don't have much of that😭 Shows like Grimm & Once Upon A Time as well we're some of the media I consumed as a kid and it's just so funny to think that our generation was just willingly consuming such F'ed up content😭 Then again our parents probably consumed way worse which is why they didn't fuss about those kinds of shows maybe? Or is that a me thing?😂
Anywayyyyyys I just came to rant to you about that and I'd love if you ranted back? 🥺 <3
hehehe i do love crime shows. probs castle and hawaii 5.0 are my top favs, because i used to watch them with my sister everyday. we still watched them if they're on tv, but when we were younger it was like an obsession. so yeah, totally true that you tend to develop some interest in sick and twisted stuff, it's only natural.
i've never watched grimm or once upon a time (lack of time mostly) but i do know what they're about and let me tell you something, retelling stuff is the best of the best. i read a series (lunar chronicles by marissa meyer) that has retellings about cinderella, red riding hood, rapunzel and snow white with sci fi universe and i totally recommend it.
but yeah, i know what you mean. my experience wasn't like that. sure, i watched crime shows, but i spent my childhood reading fantasy books and watching disney movies (i have strict parents with slightly fucked up mind tbh), and then i grew up and started with thriller novels and that. it came later to me haha
ok, so Barbie, whilst being good, was very USAmerican and therefore very corporate, which kinda took away the soul of the whole spiel they were selling
i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.
the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????
i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.
so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.
I am Mohammed Almanasra, 32 years old, married, and a father of three children: Abdulrahman, 6 years old, Sarah, 4 years old, and Lina, 3 years old.
My story began with the loss of my parents and four of my sisters, who were bombed and lost their lives along with their children after the events of October 7 and the severe war on Gaza. Now, I am facing a severe injury to my leg, which is at risk of amputation if I do not receive the necessary treatment. My wife, children, and I are displaced, without parents or siblings, and my wife is also suffering from uterine cancer.
Recently, I moved to the south of the Gaza Strip, fearing for the lives of my children. We left behind our memories and our new home, for which we had not finished paying the installments, in addition to losing my job. Currently, I live in a tent that does not protect me from the heat of summer or the cold of winter, and without the minimum necessary livinng basics including water, food medical care, clothe and even bedding .
I suffer from a chronic asthma and severe attacks from tightness and an extreme allergy in the ear and I need medicine that are not available, or very expensive .
Under these difficult circumstances, after five attempts at displacement and narrowly escaping death from the bombing, I am trying with all my might to protect my family, the most precious thing I have.
My dreams were shattered, and my house was destroyed, and I found myself living in a tent no larger than 4 square metres. My work turned from a tailor to a street vendor in order to barely buy a few crumbs of bread to feed my children.
Look at what happened to my children because of the intense heat and the insects that thrive in the summer season. Every day, I take them to the hospital to treat them due to poisonous insect bites. I implore every kind-hearted soul to help me protect my children.
My son, Abdul Rahman, has a deep passion for playing football and is a devoted fan of Real Madrid. He always dreamed of playing football at his school, but the war prevented this dream from coming true.
Where are you, Real Madrid fans ?
Help Abdul Rahman achieve his dream.
