and it’s not received the proper attention it deserves in the Canadian news, so I thought it would be good to make a post for ppl who aren’t Canadian as well to be informed and help the victims’ families, organisations and women’s shelters.
femicide is defined as the murder of women based primarily or solely on their gender. in almost all cases of femicide, the killer is a man close to the victim, most likely a romantic partner or family member. so far in 2021, there have been 8 murders in the Quebec area. the majority of these victims are Black and Indigenous women. all of them are victims of domestic abuse.
MARLY EDOUARD was a 32 year old Haitian musician, radio host and producer. on february 19th, she called 911 to report that she was receiving multiple violent death threats and met with police officers. less than 48 hours later, she was found murdered in front of her building. say her name.
REBEKAH HARRY was a 29 year old black woman and mother of one young boy under the age of 12. she was murdered by her boyfriend, Brandon McIntyre. in 2013, McIntyre was found guilty of domestic abuse towards his ex-wife. he beat Rebekah into a coma, and she died three days later on march 23rd. say her name.
KATALUK PANINGAYAK-NALUIYUK was a 43 year old Indigenous woman, mother of six and grandmother of two. she was murdered by her partner, Peter Ainalik, who took his own life afterwards. her sister, who has herself been in an abusive relationship for 19 years, confirmed that Kataluk’s been a victim of domestic abuse by Ainalik as well for many years.
NANCY ROY was a 44 year old woman. she was murdered on by her 53 year old ex-boyfriend, Jean-Yves Lajoie. Nancy’s mother told news and police that Nancy had been struggling for weeks to break up with Lajoie, who was possessive as well as physically and emotionally abusive. just days after she left him, Nancy was stabbed to death in her home by Lajoie.
NADÈGE JOLICOEUR was a 40 year old black woman and mother of five children. she was stabbed to death by her boyfriend, Enock Fenelon, in his taxi before he took his own life on march 19th. her family confirmed Nadège was a victim of domestic abuse which lead to her murder at the hands of Fenelon. say her name.
MYRIAM DALLAIRE (28) and her mother SYLVIE BISSON (60) were murdered on march 1st in their home by Myriam’s ex-boyfriend Benjamin Soudin. Myriam had left soudin after she accused him of domestic abuse.
ELISAPEE ANGMA was a 44 year old indigenous woman from Kuujjuaq and mother of four children. she was murdered by Thomassie Cain, her ex-partner, who had just been released from prison after abusing her then attacking her once more after she filed a restraining order against him.
Across Canada, 54% of the victim services surveyed reported an increase in the number of victims they served during the pandemic. Calls for domestic disturbances were also up 12% during the first few months of the pandemic. Keep in mind that the majority of victims of domestic abuse never call the police or speak up about their experiences in fear of their abusers.
I haven’t been able to find any gofundmes and donation links set up by the families of the victims. however, here are women’s shelters in Quebec and in Canada you can donate to and resources for women in Canada.

hi love! what do you use to create your images, as well as the fonts for your images??
ouu, i gotchu, babe.
ibispaint is one of the main ones i use, it’s great for changing the colours or manga panels and you can also draw and add in fonts using the app!
canva is my go-to app for banners, it’s got a lot of different fonts and effects you can use—i also use it to animate some of my pictures for my pinned posts.
pics art is a good one as well from what i’ve heard, personally it’s not my thing but it might work for you!
for fancy fonts like this one: 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐎
i use this website, you can just copy and paste them!

[Pairing/s: Xiao x Reader]
Genre: Fluff
Warning: None
[Note: this was supposed to be for Xiao's birthday, better late than never. Also, I, in no means know how to play the flute, my apologies in advance if there is an inaccuracy in the description.]
Night time fell on Liyue, lanterns lit up to paint the darkness and cover the harbor with warmth and light, there was not much difference from the daytime in terms of atmosphere, it's very much still lively, though, as much as you love your home and the bustling harbor sometimes a nice peace and quiet is something you need after a tiring day.
You made your way to Mt. Tianheng, going behind the houses and made your way at the little mountain behind the said houses, a beautiful view of the port welcomed you along with a soft breeze that tickled your skin as you reach the top, you sat down on the grass admiring the view in front of you a sigh escaping your lips. You took out your precious flute from its confinement, admiring it's familiar features before bringing it close to your lips.
The wind went in through the instrument as you are skillfully making a wonderful melody, letting yourself relax as you pour your emotions into playing your favorite instrument.
The wind took your music throughout the land, as far that it reaches to Wang Shu Inn and it seems to catch the attention of the Conqueror of Demons, Xiao.
He perked up in hearing a tune of a familiar instrument that he hadn't heard in a long time, out of curiosity, he swiftly follow the tune finding himself at Liyue Harbor, the noises of the citizens cover up the music making the Yaksha groan in annoyance, moving to another location that is quieter he once again hear the melody but much more louder and clearer this time.
Now standing on the second highest peak in Mt. Tianheng, he overlooks the port and you.
Sitting on the ground with your things beside you as you play the flute, his eyes linger on your form, you look so small from such a far distance, so vulnerable but yet the melody you're playing silence the voices that haunts him. Deciding that the distance is enough for him to listen to your small performance, he sat on the ground, taking one last look at you before closing his eyes and basking at the lovely melody that you're playing with your flute.
It was a moment of tranquility for the Yaksha, something he hadn't had for a long time.

About the whole thing with Kaeya saying mi muhe ye (I'll triumphant over you) to Venti I don't think meant it as a threat like most people has theorized. I'm not sure of it's just me simping for Kaeya but I think he really cares about Mondstant (I keep calling it Mondo for some reason lol) or at least he cares about what his adopted father has done to the country(?) and he cares about his brother Diluc.
He obviously knows Venti is Barbatos, like c'mon he came from that old place that starts with a K and is very hard to pronounce and spell, so I think he knows that someone is possibly going to attack Venti (base from the trailer) and that's his way of trying to warn him. I know he could've worded it better but there were no other words lmaooo I looked at this reddit post of translation of hilichurlian from CN and there's really nothing that can be used to give a warning to someone as they're all about victory, dominating over someone, etc. etc.
I'm sorry if that was long and full of miny tangents it's just that I haven't seen anyone with the same outlook as me in this topic lol. Overall what I learned is that if I'm as invested in my class as I am in genshin I could've written so many great essays💜💜💜
Is it alright if you send me the link anon? I havent been scrolling on reddit lately so i already knew i’ve missed lots of good stuffs in the official subreddit especially those theories ughh
Might as well start digging up there and search for good theories lying in there
