My name is Mahmoud Al-Halaq, from Palestine - Gaza - I am 29 years old. This message is addressed to every person who carries compassion, kindness, and love in their heart. After 470 days of war on Gaza, the destruction that has occurred, the displacement we have faced, moving from one place to another, and the loss and death of loved ones and friends, I found myself alone without a home or place, and even the prices of food are astronomical. The world has changed so much that life has become gloomy and boring. Therefore, I ask for your help in rebuilding myself, my life, and my family's life anew. You are our remaining hope in life. If there were an opportunity to work, I would not waste a minute nor ask for help from anyone, but I urgently need assistance for my family, my children, and the women to rebuild what has been destroyed and crushed in this devastating and painful war. Thank you for your time and support; we draw our strength and resilience from your support. 🍉

Help Mahmoud Survive in Gaza

Hello, my name is Karina. I'm organizing this campaign for Mahmoud Alhallaq, whose previous campaigns have been shut down or have had their

fun behaviors to give dragons that aren't feline/canine based

cause as much as i love dragons purring and roaring i wish there was just more variety in how they would act

clacking their teeth together to show contentedness/happiness (budgies)

using tails as a defensive weapon in a whip like fashion (iguana)

twitching to express that they're not a threat to members of their species (hognose snake)

feeling calm when eyes are hooded/covered (birds of prey)

head bobbing as a threat display (anoles/bearded dragons)

flattening neck or sides to appear bigger (snakes/lizards)

mantling over food to protect it from hatchmates (birds of prey)

wiggling neck as a courting maneuver (budgies)

audibly grinding teeth as a warning (macaques)

maintained eye contact as a challenge (gorillas)

pounding wings against sides as a threat (gorillas)

slapping other dragons with their claws when their personal bubble is invaded (seals)

hoards used as a site to impress mates (birds of paradise)

snorting when undergoing heightened stress (horses)

making repeated loud noises with surroundings to establish territory (woodpeckers)

loud constant arguments with other dragons when roosting (bats)

building lairs that cause a domino effect of change in the land around them (beavers)

slapping their tails against the ground/water as a warning (beavers)

wiggling tail tip to attract prey (various animals)

wiggling tail tip as a warning (snakes)

plucking or scraping off scales as a sign of stress (parrots)

raising spines/frills as a response to danger and carrying on with their usual business as they believe they're protected (lionfish)

and im not saying canine and feline behaviors are wrong or bad to give a dragon (people wouldn't write dragons with those behaviors if they weren't fun in the first place!) but i feel for creatures that are mythological giant winged lizards that you can do more and get experimental with it. often the more unfamiliar behavior the more dragony the dragon feels

theres no way that someone hasnt edited cartoon running sound effects over these birds before right

I hate SMRUAR I can't beliebve it would waste 155 cycles of LTTM and 5P's time by posting memes in #general on the iterator discord server this will have catastrophic consequences on the ecology

ii have to illustrate this in a way that can be comprehended. also pretend i remembered to draw the crosses on that 1 patch of sentient rot with the tendrils

I don’t know if this has been asked yet, so I’ll ask now:

Are Iterators a part of the great cycle? Or do they experience the same death and rebirth as the player/slugcats do? Or more generally: what types of things are a part of the cycle, and why?

Iterators live far too long and are far too karmically aligned to have their existence scattered through multiple strands, they tend to really only exist on a single one. But they're still material creatures, and still are a part of the cycle

Just... unborn, in a way.

Strands split and branch off and die due to rapid activity in dreams- like player deaths or karma gains. But iterators don't really do any of that, their strands never branch until they're diseased or near death, and if not for their taboos, would be able to slip away in an instant, like pulling a loose thread out from a sweater

i also saw the ''scavs worshipping a bird'' comment and i imagine the idea is based off of the scavenger templars and disciples having birdlike masks. and a weaver is a species of bird. not quite 'worshipping' but since scavengers seem to seek out echoes i imagine it's something similar to that "ooh mysterious entity on a metaphysical plane above my comprehension. i have to be its follower" thing. Boxbird

The traces of that Void Weaver guy are fucking me up, because...

What do you mean there's apparently gonna be a Void deity-esque creature, that does something Creation/Repair-wise with the Void and it has feathers. Some guy in one youtube section said something about Scavs worshipping a bird and I have literally no idea where they got that from, but all this stuff just sets off monkey recognition.

He???

Really though, what I'm expecting is some kind of Quetzalcoatl creature but instead of a serpent it will be another worm. Videocult likes their worms [Void worms (Rot worm), grapple worms, water glow-worms, sand worms, the leviathans maybe from a certain angle, worm grass, the Void spawns/Ripple amoebas look like worms...] and the Ancients + some of their architecture/art reminds me of the Aztec aesthetic.

I expect the Weaver either won't verbally communicate with us or it will be incomprehensible similarly to Iterators before the mark of communication or something like the vibe of the Void worms. Maybe communication with it will be available upon reaching lvl 10 Ripple, which I'm pretty confident will definitely come by. Lvl 9 is weird.

And the uhhhhh...

So weaving is for making a fabric out of threads, right (fabric of reality ass set up). The general approach is that there are vertical threads that are strung on the loom & horizontal threads, which are the ones that are weaved inbetween the strung ones. The horizontal ones are called weft (or woof ha) and the vertical ones are called *warps*.

The most expectable reasons for the Void Weaver's existence is that it will stitch up the tears that the Watcher and Spinning Top made and that it's somehow responsible for the strand form of reality.

My takes are that 1.) the strands exist outside of it and it only utilizes them to create the fabric reality and the tears we create give us the chance to get a peek at it from behind the metaphorical curtain- aligns with the idea that it will stitch up our peeping holes or 2.) the tears/*warps* we create is what gives this thing the tools/space to start weaving *something*. Maybe a new direction? That new cycle Moon mentions? (actually upon checking, that's Downpour dialogue. that most likely doesn't apply here.)

That second one is definitely the more off the rocker idea, but hey. Versatility in thinking is hardly a bad thing.
