vein... is beautiful.
xia fei noticed it the first time they've met. long hair, so soft, yet in such brave colour. what a shame his hair is always braided. xia fei has never seen vein with his hair down. but he badly wants to.
vein is beautiful.
xia fei noticed it the first time they've met. playful eyes, looking at him. mysterious, yet kind. red eyes that see everything, even the slightest detail. long lashes cover them whenever vein's irritated, tired or amused by what xia fei's said. but sometimes, only sometimes, the red eyes are happily looking at him.
vein is beautiful, truly.
xia fei noticed it the first time they've met. vein's elegant clothes and the way he wears them. full of pride. full of grace. full of confidence. whenever he's passing by someone, their eyes follow him. and vein knows that because he knows everything.
vein is beautiful. but he doesn't look like that all the time.
there're these days where small dots of blood stain the white fabric of his shirt. it's not often, but it happens. xia fei pretends to see nothing because sometimes it's easier this way. vein never tells him what's going on. he usually puts on his long, black coat and tries his best to cover the blood.
that night when after a tiring day he'd finally came home, he's noticed he has a guest. and not just any guest. the familiar black coat hanging in the hallway. the elegant shoes in the hallway. and also vein's perfumes xia fei could scent in the hallway.
the bathroom light is on. the door is open. xia fei goes there.
vein is beautiful, yet full of mysteries.
in the bathroom vein stands next to the sink. the water is running down. however, the boss hasn't noticed him, yet. vein's too busy washing his dirtied by blood hands to care bout his surroundings. xia fei comes even closer, careful not to make any sound.
but he fails. vein instantly turns around and when he spots xia fei, something like embarrassment shows up on his face. only for a second. there's blood on his face, on his right cheek and forehead. but xia fei doesn't care because vein finally has his hair down.
Bulletproof Dreams is an exhibition that displays paintings by Gazan children and aims to raise international awareness to the genocide in Gaza. The exhibition is located in Turkey. So powerful.

Hello, my name is Jaafar from North Gaza. I previously created a GoFoundMe donation campaign, and when I got $2,400, they deleted the campaign without knowing the reason. Please support me in my new campaign, Chuffed. Any amount you donate, even if it is small, will help buy flour and vegetables for my family. The price of everything we have is many times its normal price. Please help save my family from starvation! š„¹š

i realized i never posted this on tumblr??? anyways here ya go tumblr
I'm writing again to bring attention to the GFM campaign of @nourfamily1989, a mother of five in Gaza.
Since the last update, the situation for Nour and her family has gotten a lot worse. The area they've been seeking refuge in has been subject to intense bombing, and they've had to flee again in the middle of the night, with no idea where to go or what awaits them.
The despair Nour is describing is heartbreaking:
We see death every day, every minute, and every second??? We can no longer endure all this suffering, and my children are no longer children. Rather, they have become adults. After all this suffering, they have not taken any of their rights. Rather, they have lost their lowest rights. They have to bear what no grown-up person could bear. How long will all this torment and destruction that we live in?? Every day we move from place to place and we do not know where to go and where to go. There is no safe place for us. Every place is targeted and there is no safety. Please help my children from this bitter torment. Please save us from this destruction. There is no home. There is no future for my children. All their dreams are shattered.
Nour has repeatedly said on her blog that she hates having to ask for help, but that, for the sake of her children, she no longer has a choice.
Let's make sure her pleas now don't go unanswered.
You can make a big difference to the family even with a small donation. If you can't donate, then please help by sharing.
For vetting info, see this post by @/killy.
Over the course of a week, we've been able to raise a little over $5,000. Let's aim to reach the next $5,000 milestone as soon as possible, so that if the Rafah crossing reopens in the near future, the family will have the funds necessary to evacuate.
Total GFM goal: $90,000
The fact that āElon musk does two Nazi salutesā isnāt blowing up my push notifications is the best example I could possibly give of the mediaās failure to do fucking anything
hi serious talk time! not my usual kind of post and itās going to be a little long, sorry! but iād appreciate some help with sharing š
recently my very very very close friend tads got kicked out from their home alongside several members of their family, including a teenager.
they have emergency commissions open currently! hereās a really cute animated gif of a character i designed they did for me!!!!! this could be you and ur oc!!!
below iāll link their kofi alongside their twitter, but iād like to request just as a personal favor that you tip them extra (or even just send a couple dollars and donāt comm at all) to help lighten their workload.
their slots are also limited so if theyāre sold out already, just toss them $5!
i love āem a lot and know personally that even drawing a little, esp for an emergency like this, takes a huge toll off your energy and health and i donāt want them more stressed out than they are.
thank you always!! hereās their twitter as well
( their tumblr @tadsdy but theyāre not as active here!)
a big lesson for me was learning that most things are not as fragile as Iād believed. missing a class, or turning in a bad assignment, wonāt instantly destroy your professorās opinion of you. accidentally saying something harsh wonāt make your friend want to end the friendship. it takes work to repair these things - it takes effort and research and sometimes a sincere apology - but you can do that because theyāre not irreparably broken. what youāve worked to build, in academia and in relationships and in life, is stronger and more enduring that your mind may teach you to believe. donāt let imagined fragility lead you to giving up
Ryoko Kui saying that Mithrun is living happily doing his hobby post-canon is so important to me
Like I have a whole fic to write about this, but I adore Kuiās redemption arcs, so to speak. And thatās not even the right word, imo, like the point isnāt that Mithrun had to redeem himself (despite what he himself might have thought); the point is that he deserves to be happy just like anyone else. That he accepts himself and starts to heal and can achieve a fulfilling life.

One such person is my friend @samah-2 who is an absolute sweetheart. She has a whole family that she looks after and their home has been decimated from the war. Unfortunately the aftermath is VERY expensive for Palestinian families. Please help Samah and her family on their journey to a free Palestine and their own goals and self-determination. Show up now more than ever. I have linked her gfm. If we can raise 2k by the time this poll closes, that would be amazing.
