Ik I kinda stopped posting for a VERY long time, life and mental illness happened but im slowly getting back into the swing of things,
There'll still be miraculous stuff (season 6 has been pr good so far imo!) but might be a bit more of a focus on sonic for now, hyperfixation currently + im the most confident in my art then I've ever been drawing humans, probably because of my hedgehog filled past during my deviantart days so ive probably been subconciously gearing my style towards it
absolutely wont blame anyone if theyd rather only have content they want on their feed, but absolutely appreciate anyone who decides to stick around <3

Please, after my first campaign was stolen, this campaign I created a short time ago was documented, but it was never published. Please reply to me and help me spread it. Please donate to us
Muhammad, my nephew, the orphan child whose mother died at his birth. I told you about him. Do you remember him? Since he was born, his condition was bad due to the lack of milk and the scarcity of food. Now he has become dehydrated. This is his picture because of the famine in Gaza and the high prices. I do not want to lose any of my children. Please help me.
(You might need to turn up your brightness or turn off light mode for this one! I did my best to fix it but I got a little carried away with the theme of darkness, sorry!)
This is sort of a spiritual successor to my Kris Dark Room comic? I was still thinking a lot about being afraid of your room at night as a kid and seeing monsters and my mom’s advice to me about how to be okay with not seeing anything when you close your eyes to sleep. This comic was conceived post chapter 3 where Raise Up Your Bat got me thinking about Dess and Dont Forget being connected. I actually am not so proud of the writing on this so much anymore but I still really like some of the art (the isometric, love isometrics)

notes:
this post blew up while I wasn’t looking (the end of my semester was hellish, and i recently came back from a 3-week family vacation). thanks so much for all the suggestions! <3
i included Ecosia because of their financial transparency. It’s physically impossible that they plant a tree for every search, but their profits still go towards projects including reforestation and solar energy. i view their actions as a net-positive
feel free to add more alternatives, resources or advice in the reblogs or replies, and i'll add them to the main post <3
I am Alaa Al-Hanjouri, 32 years old. I used to work as a teacher, educating children and carrying their dreams on my shoulders...😥😥
but the Gaza war left us with everything. My home was destroyed, my dreams shattered, and my family of six became homeless refugees, searching for a life amidst the rubble.😭💔💔
What saddens me most now is my daughter, Souad... a child no older than six years old, suffering from severe anemia. Her body is emaciated, her eyes are sunken, she sleeps crying from the pain, and she wakes up weaker than the day before. We cannot afford treatment, not even the food that would help her fight the disease.💔💔
I am helpless, and that is what exhausts me the most. Seeing your child wither before your eyes and your inability to save him. All I ask of you is your help... for Souad, and for every father like me who has lost the ability to protect their children.

Your donation is the only hope in this agony. Please, do not let my family die. Please help us. Thank you very much.
Alaa’s 6-y/o daughter Souad was admitted to the hospital this morning with an extremely high fever
She is now in intensive care. She is anemic and the family has been unable to raise funds for her treatment because their campaign has made very little progress. They urgently need funds to pay for her care so they can reduce her fever, or she will die.
The Israeli army is bombing and demolishing entire neighborhoods in northern Gaza City in preparation for its occupation, and people have already begun fleeing south. My brother still refuses to go south. 🥲💔
when I drew this comic 3 years ago I had NO idea how far it would reach. I'm happy to finally share a corrected version with proper abbreviations, and even MORE state names of indigenous origin ♥️
however, the goal of this comic was to inspire people to do your OWN research on indigenous history. To question everything we have been taught, and everything that has been pointedly left out. This erasure, this “forgetting”, of history is not just of the past… it is happening now.
- Across so-called Canada, the US, and US-occupied islands, native women are victims of murder at 10-12x the rate of non-native people, and are the most likely to go missing without being searched for by the law.
- Native reservations have the highest rates of poverty in the US, with over HALF of tribal homes with no access to clean water (with more joining this list by the year)
- Native people are 6-10x more likely to be unhoused than the rest of the population, and native teens suffer suicide rates higher than any other demographic.
This list of modern day genocide goes on (thank you for compiling @theindigenousanarchist <3) and yet take a look at those environmental stats!
Native people manage to do SO much for the planet as a whole - thanklessly - and with all this stacked against them. Don't even get me started on kin fighting in south america. Could you imagine if there was help? #landback is resistance to genocide, and it is the key to saving our warming earth.
So look into it and the other hashtags, cuz a cartoon goose ain't a substitute for a proper education.
Love to my grandparents who always kept a map of tribal territories of turtle island on their wall, to speaking on our Tsalagi & Saponi heritage. Love & solidarity forever, happy research, and
happy #indigenouspeoplesday

(Also, if you care to support the artist, I'm publishing a book ! and writing another - a fantastical afroindigenous graphic novel - that I post exclusively about with tons of other art on my patreon.)
Been wanting to do this for some time now. Doing some Undertale Yellow chapter-esque art inspired by @loopy-lupe 's awesome af set they did for the base game!
Starting off with good ol Dark Ruins.

Ibrahim deserves love and care and education like every kid, the past two years were stolen from him and his siblings, he deserves more than just bread, he deserves a stable home, education and comfort, please help out in any way you can.
I don't know what to say, sister. I remember when I was a free child, playing, eating, and learning, but now I have to search For a small bite that might move my stomach a little, I come back and say why do we have to go through all this? Please help me and donate anything to me, my dear friend. We are dying.
