no one:

Not a soul:

Me: Okay but what if Haruto and Orange met and became besties? Have we considered that? We should consider that. Like aren't those two kind of similar in ways? Not that I'm super qualified to talk about Haruto. I mean I kind of made him & Izumi besties in this one fic I'm writing and he has a fun dynamic with Citron in that fic but the fic is very au. So uh yea. But even in that fic he and Orange don't get to talk. But that's beside the point. Haruto scratches my brain in a way that I should probably explore but right now I just think he and Orange should hang out.

💔 My Family is Starved and Trapped in Gaza, Please Help Them Reach Safety 💔

My family evacuation campaign has been VETTED by @el-shab-hussein and @nabulsi #151 on the spreadsheet of Vetted Gaza Fundraisers List

Also, see Here.

As of 20/05/2025, we are at 89% of our goal thanks to your support.

From my place here in Ireland, I am the only hope for my large family trapped in Gaza, but that hope is fading fast without your continued support.

Family is everything to me. I could NEVER imagine life without them. Without my elderly parents, without my sweet nieces and nephews. When I evacuated Gaza, I did so with one mission: to sustain and save my family. They are still enduring unimaginable horrors under constant bombardment, running for their lives from one place to another.

We have reached 89% of our goal thanks to your incredible generosity.

I cannot thank you enough. Your support is literally helping me save lives. You are giving my family a chance at survival, and giving me hope.

But I still need your help.

Nothing is more excruciating than watching a genocide unfold in your homeland while your loved ones are trapped inside it. If that would not traumatize you, what would?

Israel has made its intentions terrifyingly clear: a full-scale invasion, mass displacement to the south, and likely forced expulsion from Gaza. This is not speculation. It is already happening:

Airstrikes. Starvation. Mass killing. No one is safe.

I can NOT sit here and only pray. I MUST act, and I need your help to do it.

I am appealing to you again:

Donate if you can Reblog and share this post

Spread the word

Lives depend on you. Please do NOT look away.

Please help me save my family. SOS!

Tagging for reach <3. Please Boost my family's campaign

I'm sorry it wasn't much but I did donate what I currently could to you this morning before reblogging your campaign.

Hopefully someone else can donate more:

[winter-spark]

🔴Plz don't skip 🚨🚨

We are unable to buy basic necessities to feed our children. We are in dire need of your donations to survive.

Day by day, our suffering is increasing in Gaza, where there is no cooking gas, so we light firewood to cook food, where Youssef spends a lot of time collecting firewood from the streets under bombardment.

My compigen has been verified by @90-ghost @gazavetters list (48)

Have you lost a family member and felt the pain of regret and loss?! 😭

I hope you don't; for me this is our reality. Every day we lose someone we love 💔😔

Last year I lost my uncle and his entire family in a missile attack on his displacement site in Rafah, and Al Jazeera YouTube reported.

Today, I am in pain as I miss the dearest to my heart, my father, who suffered from a stroke that caused him quadriplegia. He could not cope with the catastrophic life as we lived in a tent that was like a grave. His weak body was exposed to malnutrition as a result of not providing the necessary food for his condition, and the severe cold caused him to have a heart attack that led to his immediate death.

I wake up terrified every night. I check on my family, whom I fear will die of cold 🥶😰

And it was not limited to this, but our tent that shelters my family, children, and my brother Samer, who suffers from a chronic illness, was flooded and swept away under the dirt as a result of the heavy rains. Our tent has become worn out and does not protect us from the winds and rain ⛈️⛺

Please save What's left of us, share with us, and if you can, a donation can save an entire family from death ❣️🙏

🌍✨ A Voice from Gaza: Fighting for Hope ❤️‍🩹

Hi, my name is Mosab , and I’m from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today I’m sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.

This journey hasn’t been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from us—25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.

Our Journey So Far

When I first reached out, I couldn’t have imagined we’d make it this far. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.

But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, we’re reminded of how much we’ve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.

Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:

🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.

😢 Loss: The absence of the 25 family members we’ve lost is a pain we carry every moment.

💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.

How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:

$5 may seem small, but for us, it’s a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists. ❤️

Can’t donate? Reblog this post to help us reach someone who can. Every share matters more than you know.

✅️ Vetted by @gazavetters ( #309 ) ✅️

Why Your Support Matters Your kindness isn’t just about helping us meet our goal—it’s about reminding us that we’re not alone in this fight. It’s about hope. It’s about survival. And it’s about giving my family a chance to rebuild our lives, even in the face of unimaginable loss.

Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.

With all my love and gratitude,

Mosab and Family ❤️

[winter-spark]

The army has announced a ground operation in Gaza. Bombings are everywhere, both on land and in the air. We are being annihilated here, and the whole world is silent.

In two days, the death toll has exceeded 600, most of them women and children.

All crossings are completely closed, there is no food, no drink, no way out of this hell.

We are dying before your eyes. Please, don't leave us alone! Save us, do something in protest, donate, participate.

I don’t want to die! Please support me with any amount that will promise me to buy food, drink, medicine and survive me and my family

What Strength Really Means 💪

✅️ Vetted by @gazavetters {537} ✅️

Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.

I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.

Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔

Hi, I love Citron so I will try to give solid reasons as to why. :3

I am always going to have a bias for any shade of browner skin in media. This is the weakest reason but it's the first thing that caught my attention about him.

He's funny and means to be. Comedy is hard and sometimes Citron is genuinely just being silly.

He's a real sweetheart! He just genuinely cares about the people around him so much. He's got so much love.

His dynamics with others are often really good. Spring Troupe, Muku, Tasuku! (To name a few) and don't even get me started on the fact that he has the most complicated dynamic with his brothers. I love messy/complex dynamics and Citron served me some right on a platter. I can't help it! That care buried under resentment and competition, the want to help to understand to forge a bond in the shadow of mistrust/low expectations. The seeing each other as an obstacle but actually "hey that's my brother". (I'm half asleep, I hope this is making sense)

He is so multifaceted and layered. Like he's funny but he's also serious and calculated. He can be cutthroat but it's because he loves so deeply, cares so much. He pays attention despite acting like he doesn't, is very knowledgeable on things.

I wanted to write a mini essay but I think this is okay for now.

Mankai March 2025 Question 21!

I'm running out of ideas, so list five things you love about your oshi ehehe....

[winter-spark]

Boy do I? :)

For starters Chosen Family by Rina Sawayama is the Spring Troupe song. It's theirs, It's them. (I have songs for the other troupes like Oath by Cher Lloyd & Becky G for Summer Troupe but Chosen Family hits the hardest for me. I got a whole animatic in my head)

Waiting in the Wings from Tangled the Series is very Taichi to me..

My House (Matilda the Musical (movie)) - Misumi (I've listed elsewhere what I think his and Madoka's favorite Matilda songs would be but this in particular one always makes me think of Misumi)

Kirby's I Love Me Too makes me think of Citron. Also I've recently been getting into this artist named Jensen McRae and her song Happy Girl is sooo Citron-core, to me anyway. (Two very different moods I know)

Also

My Navel "Playlist":

My Grand Plan (The Lighting Theif Musical) [this is also a Tangerine song]

The Spare (Cut Frozen Song)

Price of Perfection by Katherine Lynn Rose (This is kinda a Zafran Princes song)

Top of My School by Katherine Lynn Rose (this is also a Madoka song) (& a Zafran Princes general song a little)

& this is kind of a dynamic but it's all Itaru to me like it's his perspective and more so about him in my head than anything so here's my "I swear I see Itaru & Tonooka as platonic/friend exes leave me alone" playlist:

plot line by Emlyn

I'm Trying (Not Friends) by Maisie Peters

Vicious by Sabrina Carpenter

Love of My Life by Leanna Firestone [Mankai/Spring Troupe is the "he" in question because like I said I'm doing a platonic take]

My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne

(But the best order to play them is probably 5, 3, 4, 1, 2)

Mankai March 2025 Question 22!

I have no idea what to do for commentary anymore www, but I really do love this question! Do you associate any songs with any A3! characters? Maybe you have a full playlist! Please show them off, I love when people do this!

Please Help My Kids you are my only Hope!!🙏💔🍉🍉

It's Ramadan the holy fasting month and we don't find anything to eat 💔🥺

Dear my kind donors.

The crossings boarders are closed again these days We need your help, the situation is unsuitable and dangerous, we need your help, you are our last hope. Food, clothes, milk, and everything else has become expensive, and we are in the holy month of Ramadan.

😭😔🤲 We want food to eat after fasting for 15 hours, nothing is like before... The prices are very expensive...😞

The elderly, our children, us, we all need food, drink, medicine, milk and winter clothes. We live in tents that do not protect us from the cold of winter. 🥶

Please help us. Any donation will save our lives and the lives of our children.🙏😭👶

You can donate here my people 🙏🙏🙏

[winter-spark]

🍉Please save my child from death.💔✌️

I write these words to you with my hands trembling and tears streaming down my face. My heart is torn apart, my soul melting with pain, and time is passing like a predatory beast approaching to take my little child away from me. He now lies on a hospital bed, his tiny body trembling, his breath slowly fading under a ventilator. His eyes are half-closed, as if life is escaping him right in front of me, and I am helpless, devastated, unable to save him.

The doctors told me that the only hope to save him is urgent surgery, but they are demanding an amount I cannot afford.

They told me words I never imagined I would hear: "Either you pay immediately

or we will disconnect his ventilator." Imagine, my friend, your child being sentenced to death, not because there is no treatment, but because you do not have the money. Imagine seeing your beloved child, a piece of your soul, having their air sucked out, their hope snatched away, while you stand helpless, your hands empty, your heart screaming without anyone to hear it.

I'm scared... so scared. Every minute that passes robs him of his life, and every moment I spend without help brings me closer to the nightmare I don't even want to think about. Please, my friend, I beg you with every tear I shed, with every cry I hold tight to my chest, help me... save my child.

Any amount, any assistance, any sharing of my story could bring him back to life.

I'm not asking for much. I just ask that my child not be taken away from me before my eyes, that I not live the rest of my life remembering how he died because I didn't have enough money to save him. Please, before it's too late, before everything becomes just a painful memory, don't leave me alone in this horror... Don't let me bury my child.

Please, my friend, I beg you like I've never begged anyone before: Don't let my child die, don't let me live through this hell. Anything, any amount, any sharing of my child's story could be the lifeline that keeps him alive.

I swear to you, there's no more time... Death is getting closer, and I stand here watching without being able to do anything. Please, please, don't let this be the end... Don't let me lose him.
