I Love Arcane

💬 Just a Small Update, and a Big Thank You

Dear friends, kind hearts, and everyone who has stood with us,

When I first opened my heart to the world and shared our story, I never imagined the amount of love and solidarity we would receive. Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve now reached $12,837—a milestone that brings real light to some very dark days.

From the deepest corners of my heart, thank you.

💔 A Journey of Loss, but Also of Strength

As many of you know, I’ve lost 25 of my loved ones during this devastating war. That grief lives with me every single day. It’s in the silence that once held laughter, in the empty spaces where we once gathered as a family.

But through your help, I’ve also felt something else: hope. And that hope is priceless.

“21/Oct/2023 Before It Reached Us: The Day Our Neighbor’s House Was Destroyed” A quiet moment of fear, filmed just before everything changed.

“22/Oct/2023 The Morning After: Our Family Home in Ruins” This is what was left behind after the bombing of our home.

🌿 What Life Looks Like for Us Now

Despite everything, we’re still here. Still surviving. Still hoping.

But things have only gotten harder.

The war has returned, more brutal than before—and for over a month now, Gaza has been completely sealed off. No food is coming in. No medical supplies. No aid. No trade. No one is allowed to leave, and no one is allowed to enter.

We’re trapped.

🏚 We live with the fear of tomorrow, every single day. Airstrikes, drones, and the uncertainty of what might happen next. 👨‍👩‍👧 Our family is forever changed—we haven’t just lost people; we’ve lost pieces of ourselves. 📉 Basic needs go unmet—even clean water feels like a luxury now. Medicines, if they exist at all, are unreachable.

And yet…

Your support reminds us that we’re not forgotten. It reminds us that someone, somewhere, is still listening. That someone still cares. That we’re not completely alone in this.

Every message. Every share. Every dollar. It tells us: You’re walking this road with us. And that gives us the strength to keep going.

💖 What You Can Do

If you’ve already donated—thank you beyond words. If you can share our story again, it could reach someone who can help.

Even $5 means warmth, comfort, and a chance to breathe a little easier.

✨ Why It All Matters

This isn’t just about reaching a fundraising goal. It’s about surviving war with dignity. It’s about believing in tomorrow. It’s about making sure my daughter grows up knowing that the world did not look away.

Thank you for your kindness, patience, and belief in our humanity. You’ve helped me find my voice—and I will use it to keep hope alive.

🙏 From the Heart: A Quiet Apology

There’s something I need to say—something that’s been on my heart for some time.

When I first began sharing our story, I didn’t know what the right way was. I was scared, grieving, and trying to protect my family in any way I could. I reached out to many people, hoping someone, anyone, would see us. In that process, I now realize I may have overstepped, and I might have made some feel overwhelmed.

If that happened, I am truly sorry.

Please believe me when I say it was never out of disregard or pushiness. It came from a place of fear—fear of being forgotten, fear of not being able to keep my family safe, fear of watching everything I love slip away in silence.

I’m learning as I go. I’ve slowed down. I’m more mindful now, trying to share our journey in a way that feels respectful of the space and hearts of those listening.

If my words ever came at the wrong time, or in the wrong way, I hope you can understand where they came from—and I hope you can forgive me.

Thank you for seeing past my mistakes. Thank you for still being here. It means more than I can ever explain.

With love and endless gratitude, Mosab and family ♥️

Just saw a headcanon where Lily dies during the attack instead of James and Regulus doesn't drown in the cave and then later on wolfstar raises Harry with Regulus and forces him to wear " hazel contact lens" so that Harry can look like James because apparently Harry has his "mother's eyes." And then Jeg*lus raises Harry together while depicting Lily being lesbian in heaven .......

Yeah my day couldn't get any worse...out of all the things they could've come up with....I wanna bang my head against the wall rn bye.

Sirius is the only person James considers an equal. Lily is the only person he considers above him.

Pretty sure it's canon too 🤪🤪

Lily is James one and only guys trust me

So why do you feel it's appropriate to shit on trans people? and I don't want to hear the same old shit about "the kids!!" "they're creepy" I want to know why YOU personally don't like them.

Never said that I personally don't like them. Where is this coming from? I've met my fair share of trans people and I call them by whatever pronouns they demand from me. I just do not agree with their ideology. God forbid I say that I don't think real women. Like- why would you assume that? Just because I do not agree with their opinion on biological truth doesn't mean I hate all trans people. What a weird thing to say. It's quite pointless to hate people just because they have a different opinion than mine. If U don't agree then don't engage with my blog?

LMFAOOOOO NOT THAT AUSTRIAN PAINTER HAHAHHAHA wait ur kinda right um

regulus failed hslf his classes

It’s my birthday so I’m forcing people on my dash to look at my cat. I can’t afford to blaze it but please look at him. His name is Fionn!

A very kind soul has decided to blaze this post! And if you want to see more of Fionn, check out @fionn-the-cat

Yeah they are friends who just wanna kiss 😙

6th year & jily are just friends, absolutely nothing between them. james has forced himself to be okay with just being friends. then its valentines day & lily asks if he wants to hang out with her as friends since neither of them have dates (no one asked them out because they've literally been spending every moment with each other so everyone assumes they're dating), & james agrees.

they proceed to spend the entire valentines day together. first waking up early & going on a run together then chatting over heart shaped pancakes (which were normal pancakes but they charmed them to be 'in theme with the holiday'), then they go to the library & lily reads whilst james draws, & she reads out passages to him that she thinks he'd like & he's drawing her. then they go out to the hills & have a picnic together, where james grows her flowers & gifts her chocolates & a necklace and lily then gifts him a homemade card & a watch. then they go to slughorn's classroom & james fulfills his detention cleaning cauldrons whilst lily practices making a potion, but they end up james helping her with the potion & then cleaning together. afterwards they go to the common room & play chess by the fireplace & charades against sirius, remus, and pete. then they sneak to the kitchens & grab a bunch of food which they then take to sneak out to the quidditch pitch & have dinner in the quidditch stands, james lighting candles around so they can see better. they then fly around the pitch for a bit before going back to the stands for dessert & and wine and then laying in each other's arms as they talk and stargaze.

it's totally just a friendly valentines hangout though..

NOW KISS EACH OTHER ON THE MOUTH

Where are my ao3 girlies with their fanfics for them 😭😭😭

anora: having the worst fucking day of her life

igor: look at her go!

It's a cruel summer over here oof

glb saintcurse au??

mary marries a man because that’s what people do because that’s what her mother did and her grandmother did and every other woman before her did and mary is nothing if not traditional nothing if not practical nothing if not a girl who knows what’s expected of her so she marries him and he is fine he is nice he is a man and she stands beside him in a white dress and smiles so wide her jaw aches and thinks this is what I wanted this is right this is normal and she does not think about pandora except she does because she always does.

except she is standing in her perfect kitchen with her perfect ring on her finger making dinner for her perfect husband when the radio plays that song and she has to grip the counter because for a moment it’s not now it’s then it’s summer and pandora is laughing and the car windows are down and she’s got her arms outstretched like she’s flying and mary is looking at her like she’s everything and she is she is she was and mary has to blink hard and shake her head because it’s not then it’s now and she is married and she is happy and she does not miss pandora she does not miss the way she kissed like she had nothing to lose she does not miss the way she looked at her like mary was worth looking at she does not miss the way she called her baby like it was the only name that ever fit she does not miss any of it.

(yes she does. yes she does. yes she does.)

when she wakes up in the middle of the night next to him she stares at the ceiling and thinks this is what i wanted but she does not reach for him and he does not reach for her and the bed is too cold and too big and too empty even though she is not alone and she wonders what pandora is doing she wonders if pandora is happy she wonders if pandora ever thinks about her and she wants to call but she won’t because that would be stupid and mary is not stupid and so she closes her eyes and sleeps and dreams of summer.

(pandora kisses a hundred girls in a hundred bars and she thinks about mary when they taste like cigarettes when they taste like cherry chapstick when they don’t taste like anything at all she drinks too much and laughs too loud and runs red lights just to see if she makes it to the other side she bites too hard and holds too tight and doesn’t call them back because they are not mary because they will never be mary because mary is gone but not dead and isn’t that so much worse isn’t it so much more cruel because mary is still out there breathing and and telling herself she is happy and pandora wants to hate her should hate her but she doesn’t she can’t so she hates herself instead.)
