Parallels.
[ID: Stylised, digital art centering Peril and Glory from Wings of Fire. They’re both shown from shoulders up, mirroring each other. Glory is placed upside down in the upper part, facing away from Peril, both frown with eyes closed. Kestrel can be seen above Peril, gently cupping her face, while snarling at Glory. Mirroring this, Scarlet is snarling at Peril, while cupping Glory’s face. Both their talons look ghostly and reach from offscreen. Particles of light, like sparks or fireflies, are all around them. The background is dark green, brightening in the center, where Peril and Glory almost touch. A light star outline can be seen there. Swirling clouds are drawn on the left, behind Kestrel and Peril, while tropical leaves are seen on the opposite side. Glory’s and Peril’s color palettes are almost identical, both using reds and teals, with their accent colors matching each others main colors. End ID]

loosely based her design on a peacock! in my version, her colours are slightly muted and the 'decorative' feathers and display parts of rainwings are missing on her due to sun deprevation. her frills are smaller for the same reason, but her horns suggest a natural crown.
of course she also has beads for the friends, and two extra ones for kinkajou and jambu!<33 plus you get to see her long ass rainwing thumb hehe
After the ICJs ruling on provisional measures, the headline you would have expected is that western countries ceased funding and arming Israel.
Instead, they are pausing funding for a UN agency for Palestinian refugees, when there are almost 2 million of them in Gaza who are in dire need of humanitarian assistance as acknowledged by the ICJ itself!!!
All because of Israel allegations that 12 out of 13,000 of the agencies employees MAY have been involved in Oct 7th.
Even IF this were true, this amounts to #collectivepunishment of Palestinians in Gaza and failure to abide by state’s obligations to prevent acts of gen0c!de.
Please consider donating directly to unrwa so they can continue their life-saving work. You can find the donation link in their instagram account or webpage.
Please also make your voice heard; demand your government resumes\/continues funding unrwa and don’t stop speaking up for Palestine.
In our thousands, in our millions we are all Palestinians!! 🇵🇸❤️🍉
Glory!
okay actually I'm going to make a separate post about this because too many people ignore it on all my other posts. When referring to Aboriginal peoples (First Nations peoples of so-called Australia), you ALWAYS capitalise the A because we are a PEOPLE, proper noun. SECONDLY, "aboriginies" "abo" and any use of a phrase ending in "caste" ie part-caste, half-caste, etc ARE SLURS. DO NOT USE THEM. If you see other Aboriginal peoples using these words, it's ours to reclaim and not permission for you to use. Finally, Aboriginal people are Black and refer to ourselves as such, regardless of blood quantum. That is a fact, non-negotiable for 100s of years. It's not complicated. When in doubt just call us First Nations, or Aboriginal people (with a capital A) because that's who we are. Again, please respect Aboriginal peoples.

hello moomin fans, please see my lazy moomin doodles
On this day last year, my family faced a choice no one should ever have to make: stay in their home in Gaza and risk death or flee south, clinging to the slim hope of finding safety. Spoiler alert: there was no “right” answer. In Gaza, there never is. Families like mine would run from areas labeled dangerous, only to be bombed in so-called ‘humanitarian’ zones. Because in Gaza, no place is truly safe.
Each time they evacuated, they had the same gut-wrenching, desperate conversations on repeat: “Should we stay or go? Where would we even go? Do we send the women and children first, or do we all stick together?” Imagine trying to make life-and-death decisions with bombs falling around you.
One evening, a family friend offered them shelter, hoping the madness would calm down in a few days. My brothers agreed to move everyone there the next morning. But the bombs beat them to it. Just hours after that phone call, Israeli airstrikes hit our friend’s house. Thirty-five people, including children, gone. They never got a chance to move, and instead, they grieved for the lives lost.
They ran to Khan Younis, only for tragedy to follow. In November 2023, Israeli bombs hit my cousin’s house. I lost three cousins, their wives, and their children. It was chaos. Pieces of people scattered everywhere. A small child’s body lay unrecognizable until my cousin realized it was her son, Odi. His head was almost gone, but she knew him. She knew him by the shape of his teeth, his little toes. That’s the kind of loss no mother should ever face.
Since then, my family has moved over 50 times, haunted by the same questions: Where can they go next? How can they afford to survive another evacuation? Will they even manage to set up another flimsy tent?
And speaking of tents, imagine trying to live in one with your children. Picture makeshift cesspits serving as toilets, which fill up in a few weeks, forcing them to dig another. Comfort? Safety? Those words mean nothing. How do you sleep at night when your ‘home’ is a tent and your bathroom is a hole in the ground?
Talking about my family and Gaza breaks me, yet it also brings me a strange comfort. I refuse to let their stories fade. Their memories are beacons in the darkness, bittersweet reminders of joy and sorrow.
My family needs urgent help to survive this ongoing nightmare. Please, donate if you can. Share our story with your friends and family. Help us keep fighting, keep surviving.

"Pangur Bán and I at work, Adepts, equals, cat and clerk: His whole instinct is to hunt, Mine to free the meaning pent. More than loud acclaim, I love Books, silence, thought, my alcove. Happy for me, Pangur Bán Child-plays round some mouse’s den. Truth to tell, just being here, Housed alone, housed together, Adds up to its own reward: Concentration, stealthy art. Next thing an unwary mouse Bares his flank: Pangur pounces. Next thing lines that held and held Meaning back begin to yield. All the while, his round bright eye Fixes on the wall, while I Focus my less piercing gaze On the challenge of the page. With his unsheathed, perfect nails Pangur springs, exults and kills. When the longed-for, difficult Answers come, I too exult. So it goes. To each his own. No vying. No vexation. Taking pleasure, taking pains, Kindred spirits, veterans. Day and night, soft purr, soft pad, Pangur Bán has learned his trade. Day and night, my own hard work Solves the cruxes, makes a mark."
