My name is Malik Kamal Hilles, a 24-year-old student at Al-Azhar University in Gaza. My family of 10 has been displaced multiple times, and our home reduced to rubble. Now, weโre struggling to survive in Rafah, surrounded by the chaos of war.
For years, Gaza has been under siege, but since October 7, the suffering has reached unimaginable levels. Constant bombings, destruction, and fear have left us with nothing but the hope to escape. To cross into Egypt, we need $5,000 per person. Itโs a price we canโt afford alone, but with your help, we can find safety, stability, and a future free from violence.
Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us closer to that reality. If you can't donate, sharing our plea could change our lives. Thank you for giving us a chance at hope.
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 daysโI have been slowly dying since then ๐. Day after day, week after week, month after month, and the war still rages on, consuming everything around us โณ.
I wanted to break this dark routine, so I did it by getting married. Yes, I got married ๐. But donโt expect me to tell you about a grand wedding ceremony, a beautiful gown, or a special dinner ๐ฅ. These werenโt realities; they were just dreams that played in my mind ๐. I was preparing to live that dream, but disaster struck on October 7 and took everything away ๐.
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 ๐๏ธ. 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, itโs still going ๐ฅ.
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 ๐. I donโt know if you can imagine what itโs like to sleep and wake up hungry ๐, cold ๐ฅถ, without safety or stability. To live in constant fear of death, loss, illnessโof everything.
I feel as if weโve become mere numbers in news reports ๐, our suffering reduced to fleeting headlines ๐ฐ. Where is humanity? Where are the values of equality and justice โ๏ธ? 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? โค๏ธ
Weโre 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 ๐. We are human beings; we have the right to life ๐, to safety, and to have our voices heard in this world ๐.

Cooked here, ngl. Looking forward to see any more ideas you have of this AU, if you feel like sharing them. Either way, this is amazing! ๐ฅ
I finished season 1 of Vrains and it was cool but I thought it needed about 2 billion more secret identity shenanigans
extended thoughts below
So I went into a deep dive in my last two posts (1, 2) about all the problems I had with Vrains, and you'd think I didn't enjoy it, but in fact as I was watching, there was a separate, parallel version of Vrains that was playing in my head, a Yugioh I think we were robbed of and which fixes every problem I had with the first season, and that is Secret Identities AU.
Yusaku needs FRIENDS
This is YUGIOH.
This dynamic is everything I wanted from Vrains. Yusaku developing unexpected fondness for these bozos who think he needs a defense squad. I want Miraculous Ladybug levels of secret identity shenanigans. I want Yusaku slapping his duel disk every time Ai tries to blow their cover.
This AU sprung forth from the scene in the duel club where he shows Naoki his decoy deck. Having Yusaku passing as a bad duelist is 1) so funny, but 2) Yusaku needing to maintain his low profile is a useful contrivance for other characters to get more duels, and 3) I think it would be a really fun one-off episode where Yusaku has to duel using his bad deck. When he wins, Naoki is so proud he cries.
Having Yusaku actually have to interact with the other characters in the real world opens up Greek play levels of dramatic irony. The crux of a secret identity story is that every single interaction builds up anticipation, because you the viewer know that the other party is being deceived, and that the tension will snap when the secret is revealed.
I have zero anticipation about Playmaker's identity being revealed, because Aoi would be like "oh.... I guess he goes to my school" and Go would be like "have I seen that guy before?" But SIAU Playmaker? My guy is making friends just so he can betray them. Insane.
Go needs A ROLE IN THE STORY.
I said in my first post that Go isn't a rival or a best friend character. SIAU fixes this by making him both simultaneously.
Having him be the ace of the duel club is a natural replacement for his whole hero of the orphans schtick, while placing him directly the circle of relevance with the other characters. Instead of being disgruntled that the orphans suddenly like Playmaker more than him, he'd disgruntled that Naoki and the duel club mooks are fawning over Playmaker -- which is actually just Naoki's character anyway.
I would kill for a big dramatic moment where Go learns that Playmaker and Yusaku are the same person, and even though Go feels betrayed that Yusaku has been deceiving him, he stands by Yusaku anyway because they're friends.
With a secret identity story, every conversation is working on multiple levels because each character is working with asymmetric information. You get these fascinating, layered scenes of two characters talking past each other because they cannot give up their secret.
Which would go especially hard with Go and Yusaku, because Go has legitimate criticisms of Playmaker in canon and Yusaku has legitimate reasoning behind the things he does, and as Go Onizuka and Playmaker they could never come to an understanding on them, but as Go and Yusaku, two friends in duel club, that door becomes open to them.
Aoi needs WRITING THAT ISN'T A TRAINWRECK
I made a whole post on this. Basically every problem would be solved if Akira doesn't know that she's Blue Angel. There's no reason for her to lose grotesquely against Yusaku, or have her basic autonomy called into question constantly.ย
Having her actively deceive her brother is delicious. Like I said in my last post, it's so obvious how Akira's overprotectiveness has taken its toll on Aoi, and pushed her into developing this other persona, Blue Angel. I want this absolutely dysfunctional sibling relationship so badly. The Blue Angel vs. Zaizen duel would make me lose my mind.
And a secret identities setting works so well with the potential themes of VRAINS as a stand-in for the internet and Blue Angel as an idol. Give me that Perfect Blue Satoshi Kon good stuff. Give me those themes about identity, and the different lives we live, outward and inward, online and offline.
This also helps Akira's character, because I think he would be much more interesting and relevantly positioned in the story if he stayed a SOL Technologies baddie. SOL Technologies has very little presence in season 1 despite being critical to the story. After Zaizen is replaced by an irrelevant clown, they don't do anything but send out mook AIs to get destroyed. By having a three-way standoff between Yusaku's squad, the Knights of Hanoi, and SOL Technologies, both Hanoi and SOL Technologies become more compelling. They've both got all the reason in the world to want to take down the other. Zaizen vs. Revolver or Spectre? That's good shit.
And don't get me started on how I would turn Revolver into a Secret Identities character.
I am Osama Al-Anqar and my wife's name is Rana Raed Al-Anqar. We have a little girl.
We used to live in our house in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood. We used to live in peace and security and I had a job, but the war came and took everything from me,
first of all my brother Mahmoud, who was martyred in the bombing of the Baptist Hospital. He left behind his children and wife, and my brother Ahmed, whose front leg was amputated in the same bombing. I lost my house, my family's house, and my job. Now we have become homeless, moving from one place to another. We are gripped by fear, terror, and hunger. My daughter suffers from extreme fear and panic, and suffers from lack of food and skin diseases due to the lack of water and cleanliness.
We are in dire need of your help. We call on you to fund this fund to save my family and provide safe shelter, food, drink, and health care. Your donation is no matter what can happen to us in our lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support means more.
Hello everyone ,,Please don't let my words pass like this.
Actually I need your help to donate for my mother's treatment, as my mother suffers from blood clots in her foot and cartilage in her back and neck and needs treatment and needs a bed and a medical mattress. This happened in July 2024. We noticed her tiredness and she went to the hospital. This was due to displacement and walking a lot due to lack of transportation. The doctor wanted her to rest. Please help us. I will never forget your kindness.
Please pray for my mother's speedy recovery.

simple ruri i drew while half asleep at 3 am
One Of The Top Yugioh Lines Of All Time
She ate with the Blue Maiden avatar, Aoi was the realest one in all of VRAINS for changing her avatar 3 times in the span of like a month
Lately I have wanted to make more art of Yusaku x Aoi, I even plan to remake an old drawing that I have in private because I did not like it as it is. At first I did not like this ship very much, but in the end I ended up loving it for some reason, I can imagine hundreds of nice things with them that with any other ship of YGO, being ironic because there are almost no interactions between them in the original series, but still I enjoy so much drawing this ship, and to think that this taste started by a random conversation with a friend XD
