Hello 👋🌸,

The noble Tumblr community, always eager to help, Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️.

This is a message of appreciation 🙏 to all of you for standing by us.

As the announcement of the ceasefire in Gaza approaches 🕊️, the first thing I do is write these words to express my gratitude and thanks 🌟 for being part of our survival.

This post is a message of gratitude and appreciation ✨. I hope it will be shared and spread widely—just reblog 🔄.

🚨 We Need Your Kindness to Survive 🚨

Hello, My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become harder than I ever imagined, and I’m writing this with hope in my heart that you might hear our story.

The ongoing war has devastated my family. We’ve lost 25 family members—each one a beloved part of our lives, taken too soon. I miss them deeply—their laughter, their presence, their love. Every day is a reminder of this unimaginable loss.

We are now facing daily challenges to survive—things that most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams with the constant fight for survival.

Our Current Situation:

💔 Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income. 🍞 Basic Needs: Food and water are becoming harder to afford with rising prices and scarce resources. 📚 Dreams on Hold: Like so many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive. 😢 Unimaginable Loss: Losing 25 loved ones has left a void that can never be filled.

How You Can Help:

I’m sharing our story with the hope that someone out there might care. Even $5 can make a big difference for us, and if you’re unable to donate, just reblogging this post can help spread the word.

Your kindness, no matter how small, is something we’ll never forget.

What This Means to Us:

Your support is not about changing our entire situation—it’s about giving us a little relief, a little hope, and a way to keep going. We are not asking for much, and we understand if you can’t donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as a donation.

Thank you for reading this far. It means the world to us to know that someone is listening. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.

With all our gratitude, Mosab Elderawi and Family ❤️

btw the katy perry/bezos' girlfriend/other four irrelevant billionaires 10 minute space stunt was not the first all female expedition no matter how much they try to market it as such. the first all female mission was in 1963 with soviet cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova, Irina Solovyova and Valentina Ponomaryova - all three of which were working class and had to pass incredibly hard exams to be chosen from 400 potential candidates. just in case we started falling for the propaganda machine again

EXHIBITION

Silver payals wrap around ankles

Jingling with every step of a dance

Every verse in a hymn rung in a temple’s door

One, two, three, four

Practicing the rhythm with suns on your feet

Larkstone bright, henna deep rich and tucked in a drawer

One, two, three, four, five, six

Lemon, turmeric, and curd with chickpea flour mixed

Apply until the sun drips from your skin

One, two, three, four

Cameras flash like a thousand suns

Scalding heat until your breath constricts

The stage is bigger than your parents’ bed

You look so cultural; I have to take a photo.

Exhale for six seconds again.

FAQ

🔹 Is there a word count restriction for fics?

No, there’s absolutely no word count restriction, write as little or as much as you like. We welcome a poem with 10 words the same way we would an epic fic of 100,000 words.

🔹 What kind of art can I create?

Absolutely anything goes: drawings, paintings, collages, mood boards, gif sets, videos, playlists, fiber arts, sock puppets… the sky’s the limit (though not really…).

🔹 If I create a podfic, does the source need to be new?

No, in that case, your creation will be what's new, the fic itself can be older/already posted and also doesn't have to be connected to Flufftober (even tho it should obviously fit the prompt). All we ask is that you have the author's permission to use their work. Some authors give blanket permission, so check for that as well.

🔹 Can I mix mediums or do I have to stick to one?

Yes, please mix and mash different mediums however you like, be it within one prompt or for different entries. We don't bind you to just one type of medium.

🔹 Do I have to commit to one fandom/ship/character?

Absolutely not. Switch as often as you like or write for multiple fandoms/ships/characters each day.

🔹 Do I have to write romantic relationships?

NO! The ship does not have to be a romantic one! We welcome all kinds of platonic relationships, be they friendships, coworkers, teammates, rivals, or something else. We also always welcome stories about family (but this is not a way to get around rule #1!)

🔹 Are reader-insert fics allowed?

Yes, we will always tag those as [character name] x reader (romantic) or [character name] & reader (platonic), for example, Bucky Barnes x reader.

🔹 Is RPF (Real Person Fiction) allowed?

YES! RPF is a fandom - multiple fandoms, actually! - so it is absolutely allowed in this fandom event!

🔹 Can I write for my OCs or even enter original works?

Yes, absolutely! Original works as well as OCs in fandoms are always welcomed! We only ask that you mark these clearly - either in the tags or the post itself. We're not familiar with all fandoms (though we're learning!), so we're not always sure what might be an OC and what might be such an unknown side character not even Google can find them. So the best way to help us is to use tags like #original work, #original characters, or even #OC [name].

🔹 Does my entry have to be in English?

No, other languages are also welcome. We only ask that you clearly show day, fandom, and prompt so that we can easily reblog your entry.

🔹 Does my entry have to be fluffy?

Well, we can’t force you to stick to fluff but we would like you to at least keep in mind that this is a fluff event 😉 but if our prompts send your characters on a dark road we will certainly not restrict your muse. Tropes like hurt/comfort or angst with a happy ending are awesome for a reason, after all. And we'll never say no to smut with feelings, in case you wanna add spice to the fluff 😏

🔹 Can I combine your events with others?

Yes! We actually always encourage that. Especially in October, there are so many events. So if you want to combine us with Whumptober or Angstober to get that hurt/comfort going, go for it! Or if you wanna check out other fluffy and cozy events to make our lists extra fluffy, that would be amazing. We only ask that you make sure the other event allows it as well.

🔹 Do I have to wait to create my entry?

No, you can start creating as soon as you see the respective prompt lists, be that our list for Flufftober or any other events we host. We only ask that you refrain from posting early if it's an event with set days.

🔹 What if I want to post early?

Then we will schedule it to be reblogged on the correct day, but we would prefer you keep this to an absolute minimum as it does make extra work for us.

🔹 What if I want to combine earlier days with later days?

If you use multiple prompts in one creation, we will reblog on/schedule it for the earliest day you used but won't reblog again on the other days. If you post it on a random day and one of the prompts in your creation is from a past day, we'll just reblog it as is.

🔹 Once I start, do I have to commit to all days?

No, you can participate on as many days as you like, even if it’s just one; you can also create multiple entries for the same day.

🔹 Can I just put all prompts together in one big fic?

Yes, you can write one story/a series for all the prompts. But remember, we won't reblog later days before that respective day. So if you want to be sure that your tumblr posts get reblogged in the correct order, stick to the order of our lists. If you don't care about that, go wild.

🔹 How do I use the Prompt Extras?

You can use them to replace as many original prompts as you like; you can combine them with the original prompts; or you can use them in addition to the original list to have more prompts in general. It's all completely up to you.

🔹 What if I don't get done before the event ends?

Late entries are always welcome, even months or years later. The only requirement then is that you MENTION US (using the @ in your post) - we will stop checking the event tags once the next big event starts! Also, reblogs will happen slower/further apart unless you post your fic during our next event when we'll reblog regularly again.
