Hello everyone, I am Ahlam, 21 years old. My life before the war was simple, filled with ordinary dreams like any young woman my age. I envisioned a future full of the ability to help others. I lived with my family in a warm house full of love and security, thinking about how I could achieve my dreams and become an impactful person in society.
But suddenly, everything changed. The war swept through our city like a relentless storm. In a single night, my home became just a memory, and the city I once knew crumbled before my eyes. The sound of planes and shells became the only thing people could hear. We tried to find shelter, a safe place to hide our dreams and lives, but the war followed us wherever we went.
We were forced to leave everything behind—the house, the memories, and even the university. We became displaced, homeless, with no destination, just trying to survive. I walked with my family through unfamiliar roads, searching for a place to take us in, trying to escape danger, running from one explosion to the next, from one ruin to another.
The war didn't just destroy our city and homes, it destroyed our dreams. My dream of completing my studies became far out of reach, and every day, I feel hope slipping further away. But despite all this, something inside me refuses to give up. There is a desire to escape this reality and build a new life, a life worth living. I dream of continuing my education, I dream of standing on my own feet again and achieving the goal I was once striving for: to help others who have lived through the pain of war like me.
I ask for your help, humbly. I can't get out of these circumstances on my own. The donations you gather will help me travel to a safe place where I can continue my studies and start a new life away from war and fear. The amount I'm asking for is the key to a new life, to the dream of becoming strong again and one day helping my family and community.
Help me rebuild my life and become the person I dreamed of being. Every donation, no matter how small, is a step towards safety, a step towards a better future.
Thank you for reading my words. Many thanks and respect to you
JJK’s 120% panel but redrawn with my comfort characters (including Yuzu Hiragi from YuGiOh! Arc-V, Melami Goldmine from Master Detective Archives: Rain Code, and Kirumi Tojo from Danganronpa V3).
I’m really glad on how this one turned out! I kinda decided to do this sketch just because I felt like it, and now that I finished I’m wondering what else I should draw. Overall this was a pretty neat panel to redraw 😄👍
W.I.P.S and original panel below the cut:

Something possessed me to draw chains, again. Enjoy fellow ARMS and Ninjara fans.
Done as a study. Had fun until shading and lighting. Might redo that part of this.
Game of the year
I am Abdullah Al-Hajj, 25 years old. I graduated from high school with big dreams of earning a university degree, but life took a different turn. Due to the difficult circumstances we faced, I couldn’t pursue my academic aspirations. Instead, I joined my brother in the field of chemical manufacturing, and I quickly learned the craft. It became the primary source of income for our family. Through this work, I was able to get married and start building my own life.
But everything changed when the war broke out in Gaza. The relentless bombings destroyed not just our workplace, but also every hope and dream we had built. The factory that had provided for our family was reduced to rubble. I found myself struggling to provide for even the most basic necessities—food, water, and medical care for my pregnant wife, who is expecting our first child.
As the war intensified and the destruction spread to our neighborhood, we were forced to flee to a safer area. We found shelter in a makeshift tent, which barely protected us from the scorching summer heat or the bitter winter cold. Life in the tent has been harsh, and survival has become a daily struggle.
My younger brother, Bilal Al-Hajj, always had big dreams. From a young age, he aspired to become a professional football player. Recently, Bilal graduated from high school and enrolled in university, determined to balance his education with his passion for football. His dream was to play for one of the major football clubs, a goal he had worked tirelessly toward for years.
But the war shattered Bilal’s dreams as well. The harsh realities of our situation—the struggle for food, water, and basic medical care—have made it impossible for him to chase his passion. The war has not only destroyed homes and buildings but also ambitions, hopes, and the future we once envisioned.
Your donations can make a life-changing difference for my family. We need to evacuate my family of six from Gaza, and the cost of permits and coordination to leave is about $5,000 per person. Once we reach Egypt, your support will help secure shelter and cover initial living expenses as we adjust to a new life. The ongoing siege in Gaza has made survival increasingly difficult, with skyrocketing prices and severe shortages of food and water. Your generous contributions will help us meet immediate needs and begin rebuilding our lives. Please consider donating through the link below—your help can offer us a chance for safety, stability, and hope.
Your kindness can give my family a chance to escape the devastation, protect the next generation, and reignite hope for a peaceful and dignified life.
Thank you for standing with us in these difficult times.
Warm regards, Abdullah Al-Hajj
I FINISHED ARC-V!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Alright, let me tell you my story, which might seem simple but carries a struggle I have lived for 404 days. No, in truth, I haven't been living all these days—I have been slowly dying since then 💔. Day after day, week after week, month after month, and the war still rages on, consuming everything around us ⏳.
I wanted to break this dark routine, so I did it by getting married. Yes, I got married 💍. But don’t expect me to tell you about a grand wedding ceremony, a beautiful gown, or a special dinner 🥂. These weren’t realities; they were just dreams that played in my mind 🌌. I was preparing to live that dream, but disaster struck on October 7 and took everything away 💔.
All I managed to do was to marry without any celebrations or details worth mentioning. I was searching for the simplest sense of safety and stability in my homeland, which lacks any sign of peace or security 🕊️. Still, I went through with it, but I didn't find what I was seeking. I still hope to experience every emotion and moment of a wedding day, but I can only wait, hoping for the end of this war. Unfortunately, it’s still going 🔥.
This is my story, and it may seem simple compared to what we live through here. Since October 7, all dreams, hopes, and life have come to a halt 🌑. I don’t know if you can imagine what it’s like to sleep and wake up hungry 🍞, cold 🥶, without safety or stability. To live in constant fear of death, loss, illness—of everything.
I feel as if we’ve become mere numbers in news reports 📉, our suffering reduced to fleeting headlines 📰. Where is humanity? Where are the values of equality and justice ⚖️? Why does the world stand silent in the face of the destruction devouring our lives and dreams? Isn't there any space for us in your hearts? ❤️
We’re not asking for miracles, just a moment of solidarity. Even a word of support or a humane action that saves whatever can still be saved 🙏. We are human beings; we have the right to life 🌍, to safety, and to have our voices heard in this world 🌎.
Small thing I managed to make for Megasound week! :3
