❗️Mutual Aid Needed🦐
Hello hello, I am Woz, I am a trans guy from the global south, and outside of my day job in corporate, I am an artist. I am the breadwinner of my family, and I also get my younger sibling through school.
For a little more than half a decade I have been suffering with bad mental health and suicidal thoughts, on top of trying to keep my family afloat with what I can earn.
I work two jobs to earn money, on top of tabling at conventions to be able to earn extra on the side. I am the one who pays all the house bills, some groceries, often having to send money to my sibling for school and sometimes tuition. Due to the constant pressure from overworking and the abusive social environment I have been exposed to for the longest time, I am now experiencing bodily pains, shortness of breath, headaches, worsening eyesight, and worsened depression as I clock in 10-15 hours almost daily (including weekends and holidays) trying to make ends meet.
I’m humbly asking for your help so I can get proper healthcare, which has been out of my reach for the longest time due to poverty. I was hoping to be able to afford help a few years ago, as soon as I got a job, but ever since the pandemic, the local price hikes just kept going, and going, until the matter was off the table entirely. The biggest reason why I am trying to get this moving now and as urgently as possible is so I can still receive treatment while I am still mentally and physically able to take charge of my own health.
While I’m still more or less able to function well enough to work, I recently escaped an abusive situation, which was one of the biggest causes of my misery. The fallout from this event brought on a severe impact on my mental health and I was subject to a cult-like shunning by my old community. This has caused me to develop suicidal thoughts again, which eventually led to several self-delete attempts, the latest of which almost succeeded had I not been caught at literally the last second.
At the moment I am stable again and in the hands of trusted loved ones, but I still do not have access to professional help and I don’t know how long this stability will last and the next thing might cause me to spiral again.
We already did some research on getting local help and have a plan in motion, all we need now is the funds to carry it out. The bulk of it will be for the initial consultations and possibly medication, and we’re hoping to have enough to get the ball rolling for a couple months’ worth of treatment as I get myself back on track.
The initial process will be the most expensive as I am suspecting to have an undiagnosed condition that I would like to have checked, as well as possible medication. I do not have a disability ID yet (but I plan on getting one once I get a dx on paper), so we may have to pay full price for initial treatments.
Currently, my primary goal for this would be to achieve psychiatric help, diagnosis, medication, and therapy.
If I’m able to save up for a few months of maintenance and still have extra left over, my secondary goal would be to finally get my knees checked, as I have chronic pain and the occasional kneecap dislocation in them. This has been left unchecked for more than 15 years due to both poverty as well as being outright denied healthcare by the adults around me due to them downplaying the problem. I am nearing my 30s soon. While I’m still able to walk and engage in physical activities without the use of mobility aids, I fear that the complications from this condition if left untreated will only take a turn for the worse as I age.
Direct ways to support me:
Paypal:
Ko-Fi:
I have prints! You can pick up some of my art here:
We do not have a set price goal in mind as it will be a months-long process of beginning treatment and maintaining it, but rest assured all funds received will be set aside for the purpose of my healthcare and well-being only.
I still cannot escape many factors of my life that continue to hurt me, but I am hoping that continuous treatment, therapy, and support will help keep me going so I can keep my family fed without me having to worry about my own health.
Any donation, big or small, helps me so much! Even just a dollar/peso helps, shares and reblogs too! PH Moots, feel free to ask for my GCash in private!
Thank you all for reading! I’m always grateful 😭🙏❤

My translyrics for Salamander, written out under the cut :D
This one was much more difficult than the last, but I'm still very satisfied with it! 😤 I'm both sad that my version lost a lot of the fun soundplay of the original, and also waaay more impressed with the lyrics and vocals after digging it like this! I tried to keep it balanced between the original and Fuuta's version, though maybe it ended up leaning more toward the cover, idk. Leaving my specific notes in the tags 👍
Salamander~ Hot's nice, don't you agree? This pa- passion's fine, see?
"But" isn't what I wanna hear, so say "more" loud and clear.
It's heating up all through my mind when I'm with you.
I want a taste, but all this spice may prove more than I can take, (eh?)
Something's on your mind. So spit it out and tell me, don't waste my time, kay?
I'm hooked on this, pass me a dish.
The way I'm starving here without you -- it's a crime
A spicy treat, put on repeat,
Can I get seconds with the same heat? One more time!
Salamander~ Hot's nice, don't you agree? This pa- passion's fine, see?
"But" isn't what I wanna hear, so say "more" loud and clear.
It's heating up all through my mind when I'm with you.
I can't stop anything, although I wouldn't want to stop, oh no --
Take a breath, it's best to cool down or you earn yourself a burn.
I want a bite, I can't help giving in to this new appetite.
Again, again, I want to be on fire when I get to the end.
We live too fast, we burn to ash,
I never handled spices well and it's a crime.
A spicy treat, put on repeat,
Can I get seconds with the same heat? One more time!
I want to burn bright red
I want to burn bright red
Salamander~ Hot's nice, don't you agree? This pa- passion's fine, see?
"But" isn't what I wanna hear, so say "more" loud and clear.
Tell me I'm not alone in my mind!
Salamander~ Look what's happened to me. This pa- passion's crazy
Tell me I'm not delirious, I'm being serious.
It's heating up all through my mind when I'm with you.
I can't stop anything, although I wouldn't want to stop, oh no --
Take a breath, it's best to cool down or you earn yourself a burn.
I want to leave I want to go, but I can never stop, oh no --
Take a breath, it's best to cool down or you earn yourself a burn.

Astral, Sasuke and Yuno bond over having the most annoying younger siblings that are crackheads.
I AM SO SO SO SORRY THIS HAS BEEN IN HERE FOR SO LONG 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I was really really REALLY wanting to draw these three sitting down and yelling about their brothers (or at least Astral and Sasuke are doing the yelling, Yuno is sitting there like 😓) but I've not been well and life has been so busy and I'm not getting any less busy so I had to abandon the idea and I am SO SORRY 😭😭😭😭
Regardless you are ABSOLUTELY right, these three meet up at a cafe once a week just to vent about their idiotic siblings that they end up having to parent half the time because either there are no parents (Astral) or the parent is useless (Sasuke) (Yuno never even TRIED to parent Asta- he grew up doing what Asta said and when they grew older he tried maybe once to stop Asta doing dumb shit and gave up at once) while also drinking tea (hot chocolate in Astral's case)
One of these sessions had Sasuke joking that they need child leashes for Naruto, Yuma, and Asta.
They bought the child leashes for Naruto, Yuma, and Astral.
All six of them got child leashes by Kakashi and Yami (Yuma and Astral have no parental figures because Kazuma is dead (to us) and Astral's... complicated-)

End of Part 3: Act 2
Hiiii yall! Sorry it took me a while to say my thanks to everyone who has been following the story so far. I realised I haven’t said my thanks when “The One” arc ended and I’m terribly sorry for that. I wanted to save up my thanks to the actual end for the 2nd act of this part bcs wow, act 2 has been super long compared to the pervious ones 💀 Trust me when I say I didn’t expect for it to take this long.
First and foremost, I’d like to thank my collab partner, Miss @thebrixtons for joining in the madness of collabing with me. She has been helping me with developing Alfina’s story and also letting a passing joke became a reality lol! Alfina won’t happen without her. Thank you for borrowing Edward, Mary, Clem, Rhys, Aubrey, and Sumiko to me. Oh, and “Mist” too 😋. I look forward to the chaos you probably have planned in your story!😚 And thank you too for building the cathedral Alfina married in! It was stunning 🥺😭
I’d also like to thank everyone who sent me their sims for Alfina’s wedding. Thank you for accepting my invitation and being part of their big day ❤
I want to thank all my readers, new and old for following the story and sending me asks throughout this 2nd act. I am very entertained with the amount of theories some of you guys have come up with 😂 There are some theories that had me wondering if any of you guys somehow got into my Notion & Milanote account and read what I have planned bcs you guys are too smart! 😂 Some of you had a theory right up to a T but because I want to keep what I had planned a secret, I had to come up with various lies and denial. And for that, I apologise 😌 Thank you for keeping me entertained with the asks that was sent my way! I love each and every one of it. You guys really made my day 😊❤
I’ve hit several milestones during the duration of this part and I want to thank everyone who has been there since this blog first came to be and up to this moment. I would also want to welcome new readers to the ship. Hi, new people, I hope you’ll enjoy your ride while you’re here! 😂 Thank you for being here! I can’t express the amount of gratitude I have for each and every one of you 🥺
Lastly, I have several extras I’ll be posting in the coming days. I’d like to warn my younger readers, minors especially, to block the #sims spice tag bcs the next few posts is going to be a bit...spicy (dw, the actual spice will be put under a cut!). It’s Alfina’s honeymoon posts so...you get it. Let them have this, y’all. I’ve put them through hell in this arc and the previous one 😌 But it won’t be just spice tho. I might have a hint or two on what I plan to do next after I come back from my usual story break 😌 Hint; remember the movie au? We’re getting there 🤭
That’s all! I hope you guys have a good day! Take care and stay safe!
- Nina

also love and adore mitsuri she’s so babygirl…MUICHIRO…and kanae and obanai…really i love all the hashiras i think they’re dope. tengen had me in a chokehold for a while i love his design a LOT. very fun guy to draw i could probably post some old drawings of him if i could find em…OH and haganezuka looks almost exactly like my bf. so there’s that. unmasked obviously 😭
and like obv i love tanjiro he makes me cry sometimes bc he really is such a great main character…and inosuke cracks me up. I LOVE DEMON SLAYER i just never really was active on tumblr when i was obsessed with it so i hardly follow any blogs that post about it. but i think all the characters have really fucking cool designs and powers and idk it makes me really emotional actually !! i need to finish the manga but i haven’t wanted to bc finishing things usually makes me kinda sad lol ANYWAY thank u for asking muah
