Ever wondered why Fang Runin died by Yin Nezha's hands?

I have a very serious theory on why Runin died by Nezha's hands in "The Poppy War" trilogy. It's simple because she has Tearza's fate. Died mysteriously by her lover's hands. I have few reasons that drew me to this conclusion that the wheel of time always clicks back. The past always return. It's the same story but with different character.

Fang Runin was the last of her kind. She was the last Speerly and wanted to live. Runin just wanted to live. There was no other way to put it. She didn't want empires to run she just wanted her life and Hesperians wanted her power. They wanted her to exist but by their will. They wanted Runin to choke to her own death. Everywhere she went death followed her. Her own people betrayed her. She had no army, no empire to run. They wanted for her to die and it happened. Riga wanted the same and so did everyone else who met Runin. If not that then why did they betray her? Why? From Altan to Venka and even Kitay, her own anchor, they betrayed her. And Nezha, he was cowered. He could have stopped it, could've have shook hands with Runin and Kitay and should have erased Hisparians. Buy no he couldn't even when he had Dragon Power. How shameful? It wasn't a crime for Runin to exist. But the world wanted clear of Speerlies and it happened. They just didn't want innocent civilians to die. But they forgot something. No civilian is innocent if they fail to perceive the truth. No civilian is innocent if all they believe is nothing but a fabricated reality.

It's so sad to think of that our world and Runin's world isn't very different. It's just how you see it. In the trilogy there was only one Fang Runin but in the current world there are so many Fang Runin. Desperate to live.

I don't know what you would call Runin. But Runin was a hero no civilian would sing praises about.

Art and it's Interpretation

Today's world is surrounded by arts—lots of art whether it be classic books, fiction and non fiction, films, short stories or just a simple Renaissance art. But what makes art unique is the interpretation of it by individuals. I remember vividly when I was in the fifth semester of my bachelor's we had a whole unit upon art and its interpretation. That class was my favorite not because it talked about art but because it showed how differently we took it in— and this not only about my opinions and interpretation but about other's too. Few days ago, I saw a reel where there was this girl who talked about how Rab Ne Banadi Jodi is not as romantic as it seems. Because the ML evil eyed the FL. That is stuck with me since then. That's why today I am talking about art and their interpretation. Have you ever consumed something about any art which different from others? And how do you think it effects you? I would love to know about it and discuss it with you all. See you all next time.

We have been forcibly displaced from our homes and now find ourselves without shelter, food, or basic necessities.

We urgently call on kind-hearted individuals and humanitarian organizations to come to our aid.

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a big difference in the lives of our children and families.

🚨Please help us — time is running out 🚨

My name is Mahmoud Al-Halaq, from Palestine - Gaza - I am 29 years old. This message is addressed to every person who carries compassion, kindness, and love in their heart. After 470 days of war on Gaza, the destruction that has occurred, the displacement we have faced, moving from one place to another, and the loss and death of loved ones and friends, I found myself alone without a home or place, and even the prices of food are astronomical. The world has changed so much that life has become gloomy and boring. Therefore, I ask for your help in rebuilding myself, my life, and my family's life anew. You are our remaining hope in life. If there were an opportunity to work, I would not waste a minute nor ask for help from anyone, but I urgently need assistance for my family, my children, and the women to rebuild what has been destroyed and crushed in this devastating and painful war. Thank you for your time and support; we draw our strength and resilience from your support. 🍉

Hello, I am Haifa from Gaza, Palestine, I speak to you with a sad and heavy 🥺

I am a mother of three children, Youssef, Joan, and Judy. I live in a tent, and every day is a struggle. I lost everything—my home, my family, and the life I once had. All I have left are my children. But I cannot provide for them. I have no source of income, no way to support them, no way to ease their pain.

Your donation will make my children happy. The prices of food and drinks are very high. Please help me. Help me for my children.

💔🇵🇸 My Daughter Was Born Under Bombs — I'm Just Trying to Keep Her Alive

My name is Abdulmajid.

I got married one month before the war. Those were beautiful days — full of hope, love, and simple dreams. I dreamed of a small home, a quiet family, and a baby girl I could hold without fear.

But the war came… Suddenly. Brutally.

My mother was killed. My brother was killed. Children in my family were taken by the bombs. My home was destroyed. And my work stopped completely.

Then… in the middle of this nightmare, my baby girl was born. A tiny soul, innocent, unaware of the war. She cries from hunger, from cold, from the sounds of bombs shaking what’s left of our walls.

Today, I’m a father with almost nothing… Fighting every day to find flour, milk, or even a small meal to feed my child.

Prices are sky-high — a single 25kg bag of flour can cost $800. There is no work. No income. No safety. No stability.

I write this from under siege, hoping my heart will reach yours.

Abedmajed’s Hope: Rebuilding Our Family’s Life in Gaza

My name is Abedmajed Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with what remains of my once large and loving family.

Even $1 can make a difference. It can feed a child, buy milk, or bring a moment of peace. Be the heart that reaches Gaza. Be the hand that saves.

Someone said to me that we can't wrote until we feel.

But we can write about how we actually can’t feeling. That how not feeling or numbness is the cruelty of the human emotions that just keep absorbing the emotion but can't let the feelings come out.

I am Shams from Gaza, 17 years old, a girl from a family of 7. I was in my first year of high school before the war. I loved my family, my school, my friends, and life itself. But the war came and took everything I loved away.

The days have passed filled with loss and hunger. We no longer go to school—education has stopped, my school and home were bombed, and now my sister, her four daughters, and I all live in a single room.

We are struggling just to find a bite to eat, to have a roof that protects us from rain, rocket shrapnel, and the smell of gunpowder. Time passed, and I was supposed to take my final exams this year, but the war took away our right to education in every way.

We are facing the worst living conditions—insanely high prices for food, cleaning supplies, and medicine. We are displaced after losing our home. My father was injured while trying to find food; he suffers from a herniated disc in his back.

We are truly in need of help. Life here is almost impossible, and the conditions are extremely harsh. Please help me secure shelter, food, medical care, and at least a livable situation. A little from you can make a big difference.

Donate to A Family's Plea for Survival and Hope Beyond War, organized by Rachel Cañas

I am Mohammed from Gaza, 28 years old, and I live with my father and bro… Rachel Cañas needs your support for A Family's Plea for Survival a

I am Mohammed from Gaza, 28 years old, and I live with my father and brothers. We all used to live a peaceful life together in our home. As you can see, this was our home before it was completely destroyed. It was our home, but now it is in ruins.

We worked 24/7 to rebuild our home, but now, after all these years of hard work, we have lost everything and have become homeless and displaced.

As for our work and our business, my brother and I had a university cafeteria, and we had a dream of being able to provide the best food to the students in our city.

At Al-Aqsa University, we worked together hand in hand to make this possible, and just as it was starting to happen, a war broke out and shattered all our dreams. We woke up to the nightmare of war, seeing the university destroyed. At that moment, we were desperate, helpless, and lost.

Not just our home and our workplace. But can you imagine the moment you see the last thing you owned destroyed, ruined, and shattered? So, for God's sake, you are the only ones who can help us rebuild our shattered lives. I would be very grateful for your kindness and support.

Written by who?

Everyone says, "I was written by a man," or "I was written by a woman". But when I think about it, the answer comes to a straight no. If a man wrote someone, he would always write about having everything without any flaws and ills. He will write about how the sun rose and never set again. Because a man is bound to find a light; he wants to be guided to the path of success. Women thinks that too, but it comes in more complexity. It comes with the price of having success plus power. Woman will write about purity, of how no one did any sin, because they are tired of getting blamed to even breath into the air. In simple words, if a human wrote someone, they will not be a human. Because, they will emerge from the purity of souls and beauty of light—not from the river of sins and abyss of the living.

Soul

Soul of any human is never empty, blank or cold. They become like that when their trust is broken beyond repair, and that is a ritual that can be only performed by a loved one.

Slow down.

Slow down. Just because you think time is running doesn't mean you should.

Slow down. Just because kids your age have figured it out doesn't mean you should. Slow down. Just because you are unique in your own way. Slow down. Just because on every step you've learned something. Slow down.

Just take a breath.

Just feel it.
