ART BLOG

AF2025.9 💎 for @starcadaver

i know that my blog is quite dead but i am not! see you all on artfight!

hey, I'm making this post on behalf of my dear friend Warp and his roommates!

They need 5000$ to move to a better spot for employment, and would really appreciate your help! Every little bit helps!

This pace cannot continue.

Her fundraiser has been verified by nabulsi, so don't hesitate to donate whatever you can to Basma and her family; if you can't donate, then share it with someone who can.

At this point I don't know how to verbalize how unacceptable this is; I honestly didn't even think this was something that needed to be said.

You all have been fairly good with reblogging the posts I've made about her fundraiser, but this engagement does not necessarily translate to tangible help. Please start putting half as much effort into donating to Basma and her family — or contacting those who can — as you do into sharing.

Tagging for reach because I don't know what else to do right now:

Love-bombing: A manipulation tactic of increasing affection and grand gestures before or after doing something abusive, specifically to weasel one's way out of consequences.

What it is not: A streak of affection and generosity towards friends/loved ones.

Trauma-bonding: Knowingly traumatizing someone to take advantage of their vulnerable state, to then act like the "hero" or the one who cheers them up.

What it is not: Bonding over similar traumas.

Gaslighting: *Knowingly* convincing someone they cannot trust their own perception of a situation in pursuit of one's own narrative.

What it is not: Misaligned perception of events.

Narcissist: Someone afflicted with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a traumagenic cluster B disorder, that struggles with self-obsession, paranoia, craving validity from the public, delusions of grandeur, and social disconnection.

It is not: Your rubbish ex that cheated on you.
