Please, Please, Look At My Donation Campaign And Help Me. I Have Newborn Children And My Son Ahmed Needs

OMG, a manananggal would be such a cool monster for a horror movie! The idea of a monster that can split itself in half in order to hunt is so amazing and incredibly creepy at the same time! The doll looks really pretty too! I love her wings and the flowers in her hair. Do you know and specific stories about manananggals, BTW? Just asking because I love folklore and mythology and this looks so awesome!

too many ppl who know nothing about Filipino folklore n culture r talking shit about my ate. she’s based off of the manananggal, which you can compare to the European vampire, if that helps you understand it better. although, i’m reluctant to mention that becuz some ppl, who choose to be ignorant, currently hold the view that she’s just an Asian-colored vampire mishmash monster. she is not. other than the fact that she manages to exist at all, here are some details i appreciate about her.

first, she has a face that looks like my family’s. that’s my lola’s nose. that’s my mom’s birthmark. shit, those are my uncle’s cheekbones. the headpiece features jasmine, our national flower. the translucent petals are cool.

second, you can display her in two pieces, split by the torso. its not just a “cheap gimmick” you ignorant pos. at nightfall, the manananggal severs itself in two, leaving behind a vulnerable lower half while its upper half hunts for nourishment - blood, raw hearts, livers, fetuses. the red fringe represents her dangling intestines, hanging loose as she flies after ripping her body apart. the string detail is on the skirt for consistency, but also, intestines are long as fuck? why wouldn’t they also hang from the bottom, assuming they also get split in half.

while we’re on the outfit, the top is an extremely traditional (Spanish colonial, ugh) style in both fabric and shape. i have attire that looks exactly like it, minus the monster high red foil pattern. the tiny, “woven” sleeve cuffs are a nice touch. the earrings and bracelets look to be woven palm too, but aren’t as effective in plastic. the bottom half skirt is quite a bit shorter than is traditional, and the heels higher. it’s a monster high doll.

most accurate would be barefoot, tbh. but you guys would riot, and again, its a doll. actually, the shoes reference a lot from Filipino culture. the heel is a coconut tree overlooking a kubo, a one-room stilt hut built with natural materials such as bamboo and palm, and specifically made to be remade as necessary. the sole is “wooden”, also an accessible material of which some shoes were made with. it is attached by braid to what looks to be a straw strap. also not unusual for a shoe.

her fan and wings feature embroidery, and if you look closely at the latter, you will see a thin and delicate flora design in between the spider web pattern. this is extremely reminiscent of calado, a type of traditional hand embroidery akin to lace that is difficult as fuck. a dying art, btw.

i didn’t wake up looking to ride this hard for a plastic woman lmao. but if you’re gonna come for her, it better be because of the fluorescent green in her colorway and not because you don’t know what you’re talking about. honestly, a lot of Filipinos are just happy to be considered and celebrated. “wins” like this mean everything. maybe it’s not good enough for your collection, but now you know more about my culture than you would’ve gone out of your way to. and that’s good enough for me.

I appeal to you with all the pain and suffering. We are living in difficult circumstances as a result of the war in Gaza. Our homes have been destroyed and our dreams have faded. We are stuck in Egypt after my wife and I lost our jobs. My family lives in constant fear. My brothers, mother and father also live in Gaza. The catastrophic conditions are the result of bombing and genocide. They are facing an endless nightmare and I need help. Your help to protect my family and restore hope to our hearts

I'm sorry for your turmoil. I hope you and your family find safety!

Hello. This is Mahmoud Khalaf from Gaza, currently studying in Ireland. I hope you’re doing well. I am campaigning to evacuate my family from Gaza and reunite with them in Ireland where we can build a new life in a safe place. My campaign has been vetted by El Shab Hussein and Nabulsi #151 on the Vetted Gaza Fundraisers List, as explained in the post. We are at 79% of our final fundraising goal. Could we ask you please to reblog our post titled “Traumatized in Ireland While my Family is Facing Death and Starvation in Gaza". The situation in Gaza is still catastrophic and evacuating my family from Gaza is a dire necessity. You are our last hope; my family’s time is running out! Help my family evacuate while they still breathe!

Sure! I'm so glad that you have a safe place to stay now, and I hope that your family will soon be able to join you!

URGENT HELP SAVE THE LIFE OF MY CHILD.

Dear humanity,

Please Help Me – My Son May Die at Any Moment.

I'm Amal, a mother of three children, living under the weight of the genocide taking place in Gaza. 🍉

Here’s my story, and I’m reaching out with a hopeful heart 💔✨, hoping someone will feel what my family and I are going through.

My son is suffering from a severe and life-threatening injury after being shot by Israeli drones. He urgently needs medical treatment outside Gaza.

Time is running out, and we are facing a critical situation. I am asking for your generosity to help us save him either through a donation or by sharing this urgent plea with others

I beg you, i kiss your feet, to help my son. My son may die at any moment.

I lost most of my family. I'm afraid to lose my son too 🥺

Mohammed deserves to live a happy and healthy life, just like every other child on this earth.

So I humbly ask you to donate even a little or at least reblog this appeal.

Please Donate now:👇

Hi again! Sorry there was a big delay in answering your other ask. I sadly can't donate, but I hope your son gets the medical attention and treatment he needs! 💖

I love the library!!

Destroy the myth that libraries are no longer relevant. If you use your library, please reblog.

Hello, puffins! Snugglepuff here! Check out what I got from the shops today! It's a stethoscope! And it actually works, too! I love all things doctor-related (which probably explains my obsession with Doctor Who), so I'm super excited to mess around with this thing lots more tomorrow!

Hello, my name is Mahmoud.. from Gaza.. I want you to donate and help my sons and wife because of their injuries from the war.. We need treatment and to get out of Gaza.. We are living in very tragic circumstances and I want your help... 🇵🇸🍉💔😓

I'm very sorry, but I'm physically unable to donate. I would 100% donate if I could, though!

I am writing to you from Gaza, where my family and I have lost our home, our dreams, and our sense of safety. We now live in a small, cold tent, with hunger and fear as constant companions.

I am not asking for financial help; instead, I simply ask you to share our story. A small gesture—a post, a reblog, or even a mention—could connect us with people who can make a difference.

With your help, we can raise awareness about the difficult circumstances so many families face in Gaza and give us hope for a brighter tomorrow. Together, we can make an impact.

With endless gratitude,

🌹 Aburas Family 🌹
