When you roll back time again, I won't remember this.

Okay so this one’s a bit late but. To be fair. I had no idea what the fuck to do for this poll. Luckily though I just got an idea lmao.

Brother do We Ever think about the bar code ? Do we ever think about the most exemplified way which Maliwan exerts control over its employees, and more importantly how Katagawa Sr himself exerts control over his heirs ? Do we ever think about how it literally turns Katagawa Jr's very existence into something inherently commercial and therefore expendable ? Do we ever think about how the number on it is 13, because even though he's the 12th in succession, his father will always be first above everyone else ? The implication that follows being that his pride refuses to let up for even a moment because it has always only ever been about Senior and His Legacy and His Rightful Ways ? Do we ever think about how it's implied that this is such common practice in Maliwan it would be weirder to question Why everyone needs to be codified into numbers instead of just being remembered as people, including the very highest of the high elite ? How it shows how little regard for them as individuals because they're not people, they're data to be manipulated into the Desirable Results for a Higher Good ? Do We ???

-UNICEF indicated that 625,000 school-aged children have been deprived of education for an entire year, with over 45,000 six-year-old children joining this crisis—putting them at risk of missing a second academic year.-(Source)

It was a real attempt to return to the bare minimum of a normal life—sleeping in beds, doing homework on desks, washing their hands in a real bathroom.

- According to a report published by The Guardian in September 2024, 90% of public schools in Gaza and all 12 universities have been damaged or destroyed due to Israeli bombardment.- (Source)

My son Adam, who is 6 years old, went to kindergarten for the first time. He saw toys and books he'd never seen before, and he didn’t want to leave. It was his first true moment of joy.

My name is Enas Majed, and I’m a Mother of four:

Layan, 11 years old, in 6th grade

Sarah, 9 years old, in 4th grade

Adam, 6 years old, in kindergarten

Amir, a 10-month-old baby, born during this war

The war robbed Layan and Sarah of a year and a half of schooling. That time is gone—and now we’re trying to make up for it. We can’t afford to lose this school year too, even if continuing their education feels like a risk.

Trying to provide both education and shelter during a war isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity for survival. Without it, my children’s future could disappear in the smoke and fear.

This month, I managed to cover:

Apartment rent: $700

School fees: $100

School supplies: $100

Today, I’m asking for your help to secure these basic needs for the next 6 months—covering $800 to $900 per month—for rent and continued education.

Over the past year and a half of war, we’ve spent all our savings just to survive—on food, shelter, and fleeing from danger.

All that remains is a small amount with my brother abroad, saved to help us possibly emigrate to a safe country—our only hope for long-term survival.

Your support isn’t just a donation—it’s a lifeline. A way to protect a family, give four children a chance to learn, and keep a roof over their heads in one of the most dangerous places on earth.

Your help keeps us standing. Your compassion helps us stay human.

Thank you for standing with us.

- Taking turns going to sleep while watching over your buddies to make sure nothing bad happens during their time of rest, and having the same be done for you when you need it. Knowing you fan trust these people enough to be at your most vulnerable around them, and letting yourself relax knowing that they'll keep you safe

- Communal !!! Eating !!!! Everyone eats !!! Sitting around the fire with a big pot of stew or a big roast of skag, getting to talk to everyone about how their days went and even getting to hear about how the food was made, getting to share after a supposedly long day at the Death and Murder planet without worry. At least for now.

- Helping fix each other's armour or weapons. I imagine that this is something that needs to be upkept pretty often, given the amount of times you're out fighting and stuff. Shields don't do jack about Dirt !!!! You have to keep your things clean enough so they don't jam on you while you're in a particularly tough situation !

- Housing being built in old warehouses, abandoned mineshafts and other such operations, even in the wall of a mountain if you get enough people to help you carve it out— you can get a house set up anywhere with the right amount of dedication and slight bit of desperation, but it takes your group to make it a real home. I always find it so cute to see how bandits decorate their houses with their respective clan symbols and stuff, makes me think that making art for your new settlement is an important step in all this

- Collecting random pieces of scrap materials for reutilizing and putting together new things !! Armour, gun modifications, housing material, defensive protections, you name it, you can probably bend it into the right shape. I think bandit groups would have assigned people to handle this sort of thing so that materials never run too low, especially in the case of an emergency or something....

- Training together to make sure you always keep your skills sharp. In Pandora you're either paying attention or you're dead, so it's important to make sure you never let that guard down... But you also have space between all that to train some new skills, keep yourself busy throughout the 96 hours it takes for the planet to finish rotating, learn some new things from your strange village elder, just don't get bored
