I am AbedALHADI from Gaza. My family and I have lost our home, and we now live in a small, cold tent, struggling with hunger and fear. My children grow up without warmth and safety.
I’m not asking for money, just to share our story. A simple post or mention could help us reach those who can make a difference.
With your help, we can raise awareness and give my children hope for a better future.
With gratitude, 🌹 AbedALHADI & Family 🌹
vetted!!
say it with me: deserts aren't inherently bad. deserts are very important and are home to many ecosystems. you want an unhealthy, over-exploited desert to become a healthy, thriving desert. you don't want an unhealthy, over-exploited desert to become a forest. deserts and forests are distinct, separate biomes that are both indispensable. you want to see them both at their best. and a desert at its best doesn't look like a forest at its best. they're each beautiful in their own way.
Last night, she went to bed crying from hunger again. She whispered, “Daddy, I’m hungry…” And I had nothing to give her. Just silence. Just pain.
My name is Fayez, a father of three children, and we live in Gaza.
We are living under siege and starvation. The occupation blocks food and aid from reaching us. There’s no access to clean water, no electricity, and now we are facing a real famine. People especially children are dying from hunger.
I was injured in the war. But what hurts more is watching my children slowly waste away, while the world turns its face away.
💔 This is not just a message it's a desperate cry for help. From Gaza… to any human heart that still beats with compassion.
We don’t ask for luxury. We beg for basic survival: A meal. Clean water. A chance to live.
I don't hv money to donate, but hopefully I can spread the word!!!!
is this something you've experienced
Imagine being at your workplace, doing your things and tasks and minding your own business, and then somebody you've never talked to, and whose name you barely know, walks up to you seeming deeply irritated, and tells you "I know you're dying to know and I know you were never going to ask - and I just want you to know that I'm grateful of it, I respect you for that - but we both know that it's going to bug both of us forever if I don't tell you, but the answer is 'yes'. It is like you thought."
And then just turns around and walks off and never speaks to you again.
Chains are present throughout the whole game as old remnants and possibly as part of machinery
However, there's places where they show to have a deeper meaning
Shaded "The True Anoited" Citadel, Holy Ground where memories are cherished, has an unique style of column that incorporates a chain motif
it can be better appreciated on the ruins immediately around the shoreline gate, where they're better iluminated
This pattern is also present on the cabinets
This motif runs older though, much much older
to the time of the Depths
A statue of a humanoid, in the classic stance of an echo, chest binded in chains
A head wrapped in chains, to the point of covering all features
...but with an X breaking the pattern, cutting through the chains
In a way, the progression of the higher levels of karma look more like cutting through a knot or a ring, a visual of breaking the cycle
this already gives in the meaning behind this motif: the chains are the cycle, binding the self to the carnal, ascension being the severing of the cycle to move freely above and beyond
Its entire memory is filled with a mantra repeated... 5061 times - and then a termination verse. It was worn as an amulet, probably together with many identical others forming a pattern on some garment. The repeating mantra is important because it symbolizes the cyclical nature of life and death, and the termination verse is a symbol for ascension above and beyond it. I don't know how familiar you are with the nature of life and death, but I imagine like all living creatures you have some intuitive knowledge? Then you know that death isn't the end - birth and death are connected to each other like a ring, or some say a spiral. Some say a spiral that in turn forms a ring. Some ramble in agonizing longevity. But the basis is agreed upon: like sleep like death, you wake up again - whether you want to or not. This is true for all living things, but some actually break the cycle. That doesn't apply to you or me though, you are too entangled in your animal struggles, and for me not breaking that cycle is an integral part of the design. Our mantras keep repeating.
"(...) and then a termination verse"
What is a chain if not a number of interlocked rings? The Shaded Citadel pattern even looks more like a double spiral, a double helix
The urges are also described as "binding"
fun fact one of the elements in an echo's design is called chains
it's the row of golden flakes bound to the legs
considering the depths statues, maybe part of the rituals in preparation for ascension included binding the body in chains, as a metaphor for the binding nature of the cycle, meant to dissolve in the void alongside the body as signifier of the liberation of the mind
Can’t sleep bc this question popped into my mind and now I want to see what other people think
I hate... fanon archetypes. You know how people sand down their blorbos to fit into the same handful of incorrect quote templates and then they forget their actual canon personalities because they've gone too long without engaging with the source material? I hate it. I hate it. He would not fucking say that. The joke was slightly funny when it was on the office or whatever but we've all heard it over and over with different characters pasted into it how are you still laughing please let me out
me too
