Oh, this is remarkably of its era. I was just viscerally launched back to the specific amalgamation of meme printouts my roommate and I decorated our bulletin boards with senior year of college.
I noticed something when I went to see Kpop Demon Hunters in the theatre. We're all sad they didn't use the concept art for the Comeback poster, right? This one:
But they did! Just not for the final shot. Turns out it’s used as a different poster, and it's hung up in the girls' recording studio
(Obviously with Rumi's patterns edited out, but the rings are still there)
Hello, my name is Nadin. I’m from Gaza. I’m a graphic design graduate, a wife—and now, a mother.
I finished my design studies just before the war began. I had dreams of starting a small studio, of creating art that told stories. I used to think about colors and fonts and the future.
Then, the war came. And the future became something we tried to hold onto, moment by moment.
On October 22, 2023, I learned I was pregnant when a missile destroyed my husband’s family home, killing 25 members—his mother, siblings, nieces and nephews—entire branches of our family in seconds.
We were displaced twice. Everything was gone—home, safety, routine, rest.
A few weeks later, I gave birth to our daughter. There was no crib, no celebration—not even stillness. But she arrived, quietly and beautifully. In her eyes I saw something I hadn’t felt in weeks: life that still wanted to grow.
Now, our days are shaped by decisions that could dismantle the future we are trying to build together.
Today, Israel’s government is discussing plans for a full military occupation of the Gaza Strip, including Gaza City and southern regions. The stated aim: to eliminate Hamas and later hand governing control to allied Arab forces—not Israel—but with no clear path to peace or normalcy.
The humanitarian fallout is devastating. More than 61,000 Palestinians have died in this war; hunger and malnutrition are rising sharply. Hospitals in north Gaza have shut down, and 193 people have now died of starvation, nearly half of them children.
Aid remains blocked, water is scarce, and many risk dying of hunger or disease long before future promises arrive.
We Don’t Know What Comes Next
There’s no clear path forward—only uncertainty for our daughter’s life and our ability to survive another day.
My name is Nadin, and I’m a mother from Gaza.
How You Can Help
I’m asking for support—not for comfort, but for survival:
Help us meet basic needs so we can breathe, heal, and preserve a world for our daughter.
Support us as I try to stand again on my own feet—even a glimmer of stability matters.
If you’ve read this far, thank you. If you can give—thank you. If you can’t—just sharing this post is a lifeline I will never forget.
She presses her lips together. She replies evenly, “No. And I don’t want to.” Yes, I do. “I don’t even like looking at her face on all those stupid billboards and magazines and—and whatever.” Yes. I do. “What makes you think I’d ever talk to her again after everything?” -from gimme that candyfloss by arsonide
More like, a lil fanart for this polytrix fanfic i am very normal about!
(i came for the sugar baby streamer zoey fanfic, and stay for zoey duh, and these two certain messy idiots whose history is with each other)
As an artist on KPop Demon Hunters it's been so incredible getting to witness the reception to the film first-hand. To celebrate, I drew this magazine cover fanart tribute that will be available as a print at my future conventions this year, and is currently available for pre-order in my online store! Thank you so much for the love!! (Saja companion print is also currently in the works~)
Polytrix reactions to the others dodging a kiss as a joke
Zoey: Big whiner. “Mean to me!!!!! I thought you loved me!!!!” Doesn’t stop trying until she gets a kiss.
Mira: Knows the trend but it’s not her immediate thought. Thinks something’s wrong. “What? What is it? Are you mad at me? Can you just talk to me I don’t like this” and then feels stupid when she realizes.
Rumi: Shuts down immediately. Assumes it’s something she did. Feels terrible, verge of tears, trying to figure out what she did wrong to make her girls reject her. They feel REALLY bad for messing with her and give her many kisses to make up for it.
So we know that Zoey is canonically a skater, but how about the other girls? Do they skate? Kind of.
I feel like Mira would be really into rollerblading as a form of balance. She likes making smooth movements, and rollerblades are a good way to do that. She'll try to visit a rink every week or so to keep up.
Rumi, sweet "no bad publicity!" Rumi, loves mountain trail riding on her bike. She'll disappear to the woods for a weekend and come back covered in scrapes and dirt. She likes riding with a go-pro on her head to capture the trails she rides.
Eventually, a single video from her rides is accidentally posted to the HUNTR/X official account. It's a video of a particularly perilous trail, and Rumi is singing loudly and frantically in the background.
"You watch out, you better not die. You better not crash, I'm telling you why. Cause you told your wives you're at work-"
As soon as the video goes up, the internet goes insane. What do you mean wives? Who is Rumi talking about? Is she gay? Are her wives Mira and Zoey??
The polytrix tag goes up in ratings immediately. Mira and Zoey actually disregard the publicity to yell at Rumi in the comments. She actually told them she was at a photoshoot, and they're pissed.
Later, one singular photo goes up. It's Rumi on her knees in the middle of the floor, trembling as Zoey shouts at her in a mix of English, Spanish, and Korean while brandishing a chancla. Mira is in the corner of the screen, looking a little scared.
