I'M FINALLY BACK
Hello, my name is Muhammad Eid, a father of three children from Gaza. Today, I reach out to you with a heavy heart, filled with both grief and hope, after my family and I endured an unimaginable tragedy during the ongoing war that has ravaged our city for nearly a year.
On a day that will forever be etched in my memory, our lives were shattered by an airstrike that took away everything we held dear. I lost my beloved daughter, Mais, who was the light of our lives, and I also lost my dear mother, my brother, and his entire family. The bombing didn’t spare anyone; it erased them from the civil registry as if they had never existed.
Our home, a four-story building that held all our memories and dreams, was reduced to rubble. My wife Maysaa, our two surviving children, Osama and Fouad, and I miraculously escaped with our lives, but we were left with severe injuries that required extensive hospital treatment.
I lost my beloved daughter, Mais
I lost my dear mother
I lost my brother, and his entire family
Our home, a four-story building where I lost my loved ones…
We have lost so much in this war, and now we find ourselves displaced and homeless, wandering without a place to call our own. We have also lost our jobs and everything we owned. In these dire circumstances, I am reaching out to you, hoping for your support in helping us rebuild our lives and restore some semblance of normalcy.
Our main goal is to raise €35,000 to help us:
Secure Apartment: The home we lost was worth far more than our campaign goal, but we hope to reach this target to secure a good apartment where my family and I can live.
Survival: Your contributions will help us meet our daily living needs, including food, water, and rent.
Treatment for Fouad: We need to treat my son, who has fractures in his pelvis and requires physical therapy.
Additional Expenses: We need for emergencies and unforeseen additional expenses.
" If the conflict persists and conditions deteriorate further, evacuating from Gaza could become a necessary step."
We are pleading for your help to make this dream a reality. Every donation, even as small as €5, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. Please, help us start over.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and generosity.
If you have any questions, you can contact us via Facebook: Contact us on Facebook
With deepest gratitude, Muhammad Eid
Really good screenshot I took, thought I would share with you all.
Yugioh characters simply have no patience for your skill issues.
I'm team pie 🥧 my favorite is pumpkin 🎃
And while we are here, please share, donate, and follow to help Amir, a sick boy in need of treatment, and his family. They have been fundraising for months, and aren't even at $10k CAD.
Anything helps
he's almost in duel links yall
i JUST know he'll cause chaos (im actually losing my mind rn)
Oh and I’m just supposed to live my life normally after seeing this? After knowing the modern equivalent of a goddess’ early depictions? After knowing that she was always beautiful, starting from the drawing on the mural to the ink writing on a page? Oh okay I’ll see how I’ll manage.
Okay seriously though thank you; I’m always glad to see more of Melami 😄👍
Oo when you're free can you post Melami's beta designs? Very curious to see what she looked like before :0
Her beta designs
And her design development
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! 🔥
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.
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.
happy birthday trishhh 🩷
