La Vie Noire

Hello Tumblr Community,

I am sending this appeal amidst the horrofic Gaza war, calling for help to save my family.

My name is Waleed Ayman Alanqar, 27, a father, husband and respected Electrical Engineer from Gaza Strip. I had a peacefull life along with my beloved wife, Areej, 23, and my precious 3-year old son, Ayman.

Sadly, our lives have been devastated since the beginning of the war. We have been forced to leave the comfort of our house to seek shelter in a safer place, but unfortunately, it turned out that there's no such a thing as a "safe place" in Gaza. Now, we are in a state of constant movement and displacement.

With all the dangers looming around and with the constant state of fear and uncertainity, I have become deeply worried about the safety of my family. For that reason, I have decided to turn to you, Tumblr community, for help. Please, help me raise the necessary funds to safely evacuate my family from war-torn Gaza.

Your donation, no matter how small, can spare our lives from utter devastation. If you cannot donate, please share our story and make the world hear our cry!

SAVE OUR SOULS

In this post, I'll explain in details how the war affected our lives and changed them forever.

HOME, SWEET HOME

11 months ago, we have left our memories in our sweet home to seek refuge in a safer place. Since then, we have not seen our house again! In addition, I have been informed that our memories have been crushed and our home has been damaged! For a small family like us, home means everything. It means warmth, comfort and safety. It is all gone!

Ayman Growing Up in War

My beloved son, Ayman, is now 3 years old, which means that he literally lived the third of his life in war! As a father, I am not only worried about the safety and survival of my precious child, but also about the psychological impacts on him. I want my child to grow up in safe and proper environment. It is his right!

My Professional Career

Before the war, I used to work as an electrical engineer at a big tech company. I was advancing fast in my career and dreaming of establishing my own company someday, however; my dreams are now vanished. I no longer work. My savings have been drained out. All I am thinking about now is how to secure my family and ensure their survival.

Hunger, the harshest of pains

Here in Gaza, we’ve been living in tents for more than a year. There are no words to truly capture the depth of our suffering. 💔

Ask yourself: Could you live like this? Imagine yourself in our place, facing daily hardships with no escape. Can you adapt to a life like this? 😩

It’s not just the lack of a home. It’s the endless bombing, the constant danger, and the overwhelming fear that surrounds us 😭 We live in conditions that no one should endure: incomplete cleanliness, widespread disease, and an overwhelming struggle to survive 🍉

Words cannot fully describe the pain and suffering we face every single day. 💔💔

Please, don’t leave us alone. We need your support, your empathy, and your prayers now more than ever 🙏

I've noticed people referring to Livio as Wolfwood's brother, and while that is one way to interpret it in a sorta found family kind of way, they're not really brothers.

I understand that this idea comes from Stampede, perhaps more specifically the English dub of it. Don't know where exactly they got this idea, or if the English dub just confused the words "兄貴, Aniki", "兄さん, Nii-san", or even"兄弟, Koyadai" as to actually mean blood relation. Keep in mind that these words can certainly be used to describe your actual sibling if you're related, but with the context that you know someone isn't related, it can both be used to describe an older male figure that you respect, or used as we do in English as "bro".

Beyond the potential translation confusion, if Orange really did decide Wolfwood and Livio are blood related, this is where it also becomes very important to remember that Stampede, the Trigun manga and the 98 anime technically have nothing to do with each other. Each version is its own isolated world, with its own timeline, lore and interpretations of characters. You can't use one or the other to explain what happens in each of them, what happens in the manga is in no way connected to Stampede or 98, likewise what happens in Stampede or the 98 anime has nothing to do with the manga.

In short, Livio and Wolfwood brothers in the manga and it's best to remember to keep the various iterations of Trigun separate when it comes to information to avoid confusion. Also just to we avoid fanon becoming impossible to separate from canon. There's a few other fanons bouncing around in the bookclub tag but nothing majorly important as of right now.

I watched Stampede once and I couldn't remember exactly what they used in the Japanese version, so I assumed it might've been the other word choices, as they often do come up between two very close male characters.
