when i see qi rong i floor it

huh? Wh

In the final days of my pregnancy, doctors told me that my fetus's life was in danger because she hadn't been getting enough food for a week, and that she had to be delivered immediately. I wasn't prepared, neither psychologically nor financially. I hadn't prepared anything for my baby: no clothes, no diapers, no milk, not even a crib to hold her in. 💔😭

My baby, Ayla, was born into this world, small and fragile, yet strong-hearted. She didn't cry much, as if she knew she was born into a difficult world, yet she chose life. I held her in my arms, my tears streaming, torn apart internally because I didn't have the most basic rights towards her. 😢😢

I lost my twins before, and my heart still aches for their loss. Today, all I wish for is that Ayla survives, that she finds someone to hold her with us, that she lives safely, and that she finds someone to support her in her first hours. 💔💔

I call on those with compassionate hearts to help us provide Ayla with the basic necessities she needs: milk, diapers, clothes, and a simple bed. Any contribution, no matter how small, can make a difference in this child's life. Because of the intense heat, my daughter suffers from pimples on her body and needs treatment, and I have not been able to buy anything due to lack of money. She also needs an x-ray for Ayla, but there is no money to do the imaging for her. This is my daughter's fault, who was born in the Gaza Strip and the war. I live in a tent and have not been able to sit in it because of the intense heat. I want a good person to take care of my daughter's life with milk and diapers. I have not asked for anything for myself. I ask for my daughter, who has been wronged by the children in the Gaza Strip, and every day a large number of children die. I want some decent life for my daughter, and thank you 💔😭

Be a support for my little Ayla, and may her beginning in life be full of mercy, not deficiency and deprivation. I hope you can help me with any amount, even if it is small. 😭💔

each time you load the site, it shows one randomly selected, verified fundraiser that's low on funds.

multi-billion dollar companies have used their design and made profit from it, and yet they have not seen a cent for their creation.

i’ve been friends with emily for years, and i have not once seen them be financially stable the entire time. i’ve seen them homeless, unemployed, starving. right now, they need our help more than ever.

please consider donating to emily’s ko-fi, especially if you’ve used their design to create something and profited from it.

the choir performance is meant to represent societal norms/heteronormative standards and just a general sense of harmony and belonging. which neither yoshiki nor “hikaru” feel. the fact that the classes performance was kind of criticized by hara in previous episodes but the day that the two are gone they sing it perfectly. their duet in the end symbolizing not only them literally mixing together, but also their combined sense of isolation and otherness. its something they both share, yoshiki because of his queerness and “hikaru” because of his monstrous nature. the fact that the choir singing stops at “dear friend-“ when yoshiki stabs him. the fact that the phone lies on the ground with the screen cracked with the two characters on the sides. its all showing just how different the two are from everyone else but also their connection from that.

their positioning in this scene is also so interesting because there’s the obvious visual element of the light separating them at first and then dimming as both of them sacrifice something of themselves to be on even ground. but also the fact that “hikaru” is on the bed with his hand outstretched while yoshiki is on the floor on his knees, which to me looked like slight religious imagery/symbolism? (honestly just the vibe i got) that could also tie in with the set up of “hikaru” being the “god” that the people of the village used to worship (which is going to be a pretty hard come down after it’s revealed hes not) and even his reaction after yoshiki stabbed him i feel was implying his whole wish granting ability.

also this scene is so important and also an insane (in a good way) anime only addition because this is “hikaru” reacting to yoshiki’s wish for “hikaru” to kill him, rather than reacting to yoshiki wanting to kill him. in the manga the background words included things like “he hates me he dont need me no more!” but in this scene his breakdown is because of his promise to do anything yoshiki asked conflicting with his own feelings of not wanting to kill him. its a slight change but it also conveys a TOTALLY different internal conflict.

also in these scenes i love how it portrays yoshiki more as the “scary one”. just the parallels of “hikaru” making himself more human by tearing out a piece of himself while yoshiki succumbs more to the mixing by giving up a part of his human morals/humanity (literally the light going out from his eyes). and the tendrils engulfing him at the end could obviously symbolize them mixing but also like a projection of their fears maybe? the uncertainty of not knowing what “hikaru” is and that he is still potentially dangerous despite everything. i think it could also be a thing of him losing control of hikarus body because he just gave up a part of himself (he basically said as much in the manga so again foreshadowing?) ALSO the shot of him looking scared and then glitching out into his “half monster” form makes me think that maybe he also doesn’t want to find out what he is because doing so would just solidify the fact that he is different and not human. as of now both of them have tried to pretend that he is human because they could at least be together that way, but excepting that they are fundamentally different could break that (is this a reach? i dont know man i am losing it.) both of them are on a mutually self destructive collision course and i have no clue what will come out of it but its insane and making me feel things.
