First Time Posting Here. I'll Figure Out My Way Way Through This Place Eventually.

first time posting here. I'll figure out my way way through this place eventually.

For now, I will be uploading the first of my fanart series (hopefully); where I upload fanarts and imagines/headcanons of my fav fictional characters from all sorts of media and their respective fandoms.

To start, my latest obsession: ✨James Cameron's Avatar✨

Character study of aged up! Ao'nung and Original Character Sa'eyral from the fanfic 'Sunset on your skin' by the amazing AelysC on AO3

bonus: mini comic draft of Ao'nung's face the first time he sees Sa'eyral

how he thinks he looks vs. how he actually looks

Hi, I'm an artist like you, but not yet.

I don't know what sources to trust. I want to know the names of those lost in Gaza. Do you know any reliable sites or news anchors that are spreading the truth and not misinformation about the severity of this genocide.

My city is convinced that this war isn't "that bad" but I don't believe them, most of the local news either never talks about it EVER or states that it "isn't that bad" once again! Maybe a sob story about a poor american person held hostage but never the people who's familes are being torn.

Thank you for reading this and any advice you have about spreading true awarness, I love your MCYT videos, they always make my day :)

During the first weeks of the aggression, Gaza's health ministry -upon being called "untrustworthy" by the U.S president Biden- released this list of the names of more than 6,000 souls killed by Israel

After this list was published, Israel raided the Al-Shifa hospital. Their following attacks on the remaining hospitals in Gaza has greatly damaged the health system. The current death toll is 25,000+ people, with more presumed dead under the rubble.

For someone that's just starting to learn about the Palestinian issue, (mainly about the ongoing aggression) I'd recommend journalists in Gaza. I will list a few instagram accounts:

CW: All of these accounts include sensitive content

Eye on Palestine

Motaz Azaiza

Hind Khoudary

Yosef Basam

Plestia

Martyrs of Gaza on twitter talks about those who have been killed in the current aggression, along with short stories and parts from their lives.

To learn about the historical context of everything, i strongly recommend you visit this website

The Middle East's suffering has unfortunately been normalized in an effort to stop the world from speaking up against injustice. But it seems like the Palestinian resilience is waking people up now. It's good to see people being eager to learn about all of it. Let's make activism a part of our lives so this stops being an uncomfortable conversation and starts being a learning experience and inspiration for us to change the world for the better.

Hey, it's me, ya girl, still sick in her apartment! 🤧

It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

TMA COMMISSIONS FOR GAZA

What is TMA Commissions For Gaza?

You can get small TMA commissions (a little drawing or short fanfic) in exchange for donating to 1 of 10 Gofundme's of Palestinians in Gaza (starting May 17th)

There are about 60 artists signed up already who have volunteered to work for free for this to happen. Until May 16th, you can join too!

The project is fanmade and has no connection to Rusty Quill

Our carrd: https://magnusforgaza.carrd.co/ Everything else under the cut ↓

How can I commission?

Here's a detailed How To Commission guide.

In a nutshell: 1: Donate to one of the 10 gofundme's. (any amount) 2: Fill out the commission form and describe what art you want! 3: And now we wait. We don't know how many commissions each artist will take on so please be patient💚

Guidelines for artists:

Here's a post with guidelines for artists and authors.

Here's the post that explains the process from sign up to sending the commission to the person who requested it.

Where does the money go?

We, the organizers and artists of TMA commissions for Gaza, gain no money from this. We ask participants to donate to 1 of these 10 Gofundme's by Gazans who are trying to survive and evacuate Gaza. 5 of these Gofundmes are on the Operation Olive Branch list and the other 5 are friends and family of one of our organizers. The funds are needed for expenses such as medical care, food and first and foremost to pay for crossing the border to Egypt.

Why only 10 Gofundme's?

We hope to be more effective when focusing on just a small number of Gofundme's and not for example the whole Operation Olive Branch list. Providing a smaller number of places to donate to may also help donators to not get overwhelmed by the amount of people who need their help. If you have any questions, send us a message here on Tumblr!
