I Love Babs Seed…

Imagine waking up to the deafening roar of explosions, your tent shaking violently as the earth trembles beneath you. In an instant, everything is chaos—your children scream in terror, clutching onto you as you scramble to escape. The sky is filled with smoke and falling debris, the air thick with dust and panic. There is no time to think, no time to gather what little you have left. You run—barefoot, desperate, carrying your baby in your arms—praying that you will make it out alive.

Images: Hossam sent us images of what his family's tent looks like today after violent airstrikes in Gaza last night (03/17/2025).

Video: to further prove the validity of Hossam's story, we have included an Al Jazeera news report that Hossam sent to us, in which he briefly appears (at the 0:48 mark)

Story written by @rumiandroses

For Hossam Al-Qazzaz and his family, this nightmare became reality LAST NIGHT (03/17/2025) when an airstrike obliterated their tent—their last refuge after losing their home, a casualty of the war in Gaza. With no shelter, no safety, and nowhere left to run, they are once again plunged into unimaginable uncertainty as the ceasefire in Gaza collapses and war reignites around them.

Hossam, a dedicated father of four, has already lost his home, his job, and his peace of mind due to the relentless bombardments in Gaza in the 15 months preceding the now,-collapsed ceasefire. Now, with nothing but debris around them, he, his wife Hanan, and their four children—Bashar (9), Hani (8), Diana (4), and 5-month-old Habiba—are now struggling to survive with no roof over their heads.

The suffering extends beyond Hossam, his wife, and his children. Hossam is also the sole caretaker of his elderly parents, aged 75 and 72, both in fragile health. His father is suffering from severe burns and urgently needs medical care, while his mother battles high blood pressure and requires constant attention. But with no home, no stable source of income, and skyrocketing prices for essentials like rice and cooking gas—driven by the border closures and the ban on goods entering Gaza—Hossam is trapped in an incredibly difficult and stressful situation.

Despite these unbearable challenges, Hossam is not asking for much—only the money needed to survive, and to be able to evacuate to safety when the border crossing opens again.

"All we want is to live in dignity," Hossam pleads.

This is where you can make a difference. Every small donation—no matter how modest—can help provide food, clothing, and medical care for Hossam, Hanan, their children, and elderly parents. It can help ensure that Habiba gets the milk and diapers she desperately needs and that his family is not left out in the open with nowhere to turn.

Please, if you can, donate or share Hossam’s story today. Your support can be the difference between survival and despair.

Please consider donating to the Al-Qazzaz family’s original fundraiser to help them buy food and essentials and rebuild their tent:

He looks like an animal crossing character

I wuld also like to apologize to my oomfs and mooties if i mischaractherized kaito a bit 💔💔💔 i think he's a char w a lot of depth and nuance and flaws and i adore him but sometimes its hard to put a finger on for aus and stuff HELPPP

HI I WAS THE ONE WHO SENT THE MITSUKOU OUMOTA ASK . I GET WHAT YOU MEAN COMPLETELY. LIKE LIKE LIKE

Oumota and mitsukou are definitely similar but they're not the same, they have differing personalities but i honestly love to do a reimagining of them with their canon personalities anyways

a LOT of interactions would def be diff, i feel like whatever.. cowardice? Kokichi shows would be more like.. played as fake or something and kaito would be very different from kou if he was in his position

Probably flexes more, being selfish and selfless at the same time, etc BUT . THEY MOST DEFINITELY. would still have that entire "how about i die too" scene

UGH ITS BEEN A HOT MINUTE SINCE I'VE SEEN ANYTHING ABT TBHK IM GONNA HAVE TO REREAD IT AGAIN SO I CAN ACTUALLY. PUT MY THOUGHTS DOWN BETTER BUT OMGOMGOMG . I will come back when i do. THIS HAS BEEN IN MY HEAD EVER SINCE I SAW UR DOODLES OF OUMOTA MITSUKOU INTERACTIONS 💔💔💔💔💔💔

YESSSS I TOTALLY AGREE

The how about i die too scene would probably happen bc since by that point the real kokichi is already completely gone and kaito didnt do anything to protect him hed probably use protecting the fake kokichi as a second chance to prove to himself that hes a good person bc realistically speaking i dont think kaito wouldve warmed up to the real kokichi as fast as kou warmed up to sousuke bc kaito seems a lot more judgy to people like kokichi in my opinion like i know his whole friendship with maki started bc he decided to just randomly trust maki even tho it turned out shes an assasin he never fully trusted kokichi and i think thats bc kokichi acts out a lot more than maki and kaito never really saw maki doing the bad stuff its claimed she does so i think he quite literally only believes what he sees and ignores everything else?? Idk like i said i dont really know much about kaito

Anyways since kokichi would still make mean and snarky comments as a ghost i think kaito wouldnt even want to help him but after he sees kokichi perish or smt hed feel real guilty!! So i feel like he wouldnt even accept that the second kokichi is a fake just to sleep better at night and to think that god gave him a second chance to save him and shi

i never finished this cause i lost motivation but I like to think they also fell out of lockers

(Beep boop seperates and stuff below cut):

Gng you MUST draw Kaito I am BEGGINGGGG gang 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Do I? :D Who knows, maybe I might one day. I certainly do have some Kaitos lurking in my neverending wip-stash already.

(No context, but each image is its own thing. Wish I could share more but they're either too messy or half-done, but showing them would kinda spoil the surprise.)

His hair breaks my brain so much. And I keep forgetting his goatee and then wonder for an hour what's off about his face (I have the same issue with Gonta's eyeglasses tho lol)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAITO🎉🎉🎉

guy 👆

I have so many drawings of him it's embarassing 🤡
