A Fanatic

Strq family love for each other and their awful time communicating it part 100000 (featuring the fact that qrow is only blood related to the family now cause his deadbeat sister had a kid before she took off)

They all feel like they shouldn’t be there they all feel unloved

Qrow and yang both feel like awful reminders of bad things and unqualified caretakers who shouldn’t have been left in charge and I love them for that

(This one was paneled yesterday but I finished it today)

Anyway my “rwby characters mental illnesses vs yang xiao long” where yang is usually losing

She’s like the representative of how others suffer cause of YOUR mental problems which is fun

Anyway qrow loves the kids and hates himself but that actually hurts yang and ruby both and I LOVE THAT FIR THEMMMM qrows pov of yang as an innocent kid he loves unjustly tied to him and his sister and yangs pov of qrow as a person she loves corrupted and possessed by an addiction that turns him into something she can’t comprehend and can’t save him from

(Took an edible and drew some nonsense yesterday)

Don’t remember the motive for this or whatever the vibe was but I drew it??? Paneling is wild though

Okay, but check out this video from mid-May 2022 of a Kestrel Dad who just kept piling up voles and mice beside his babies when the mom was injured/killed/mia’d by owls…but then watched one of his babies just swallow a lizard and went “OH. I can feed them small food!” and learned to tear it apart!

….the three chicks who were taken out of the nest for intensive care after the mom disappeared were put back in, and he just started feeding them, too.

The knowledge that Gazan children have been endlessly living through unspeakable trauma for over 400 days now, waking up to it, falling asleep to it, experiencing it through themselves and through their loved ones is bleak beyond words. Nothing else seems to matter anymore beyond that.

Today I'm thinking of my friend Nader @abdelsalam1990 who is only 17. On the precipice of adulthood. One of many of an entire generation of Gazans who are growing up through this genocide. When he should be discovering more of the world and himself, pursuing his passions, studying new things, making memories, he is instead restlessly appealing to strangers on the internet for his family's sake because their lives depend on it.

Read his story, pass it on, and if you have anything at all to spare, please don't hesitate for a moment.
