10 February 2024

After 12 days with no updates, the PRCS announced the deaths of 6 y/o Hind Rajab and the ambulance team who volunteered to go save her. Despite the PRCS working with the IOF to coordinate safe passage for the ambulance, the ambulance was found destroyed by IOF bombs, with both volunteer crew members Yusuf Zeino and Ahmed Al-Madhoun murdered inside. Hind was murdered inside the car, where she had been trapped for hours with the bodies of her family members.

Hind’s 15 y/o cousin Layan Hamadeh had called PRCS emergency services after the car in which she and her family, including her younger cousin Hind, came under heavy gunfire by the IOF. Layan was shot to death while on the phone with PRCS emergency dispatchers, a fact which is documented via recordings of the phone call. Hind then took the phone and begged the dispatchers to send help to take her away, as the IOF was still showering the car with bullets. Ambulance crew members Yusuf Zeino and Ahmed Al-Madhoun volunteered to go rescue Hind. Dispatchers soon last contact with the child. They then lost contact with Yusef and Ahmed when the ambulance arrived near the location of the vehicle by Fares petrol station in Tal Al-Hawa.

This point cannot be emphasized enough: the PRCS worked with the IOF, getting their agreement not to attack the ambulance as it arrived at the scene. The IOF agreed, and then knowingly bombed the ambulance anyway, while also knowingly killing 6 y/o Hind inside her family’s car. They knew there was a 6 y/o child inside that car, and kept firing until they murdered her. They knew the entire time what they were doing, and lied about cooperating with emergency services in order to maximize the number of lives they could take.

The depravity and impunity of the occupation is truly boundless. Hind’s final hours were spent in absolute terror, and Yusuf and Ahmed’s courage and selflessness were rewarded with their murders. The PRCS did everything right. They coordinated with the IOF and sought their permission for the ambulance to pass, something which was already required under international law. The IOF abused this attempt at cooperation by lying about their compliance, then deliberately murdering Hind, Yusuf, and Ahmed, in addition to Layan and her entire family.

We write this update in tears, having hoped and prayed for a different outcome like everyone else. This round of aggression by the IOF has already seen unimaginable cruelty, suffering, and impunity. The complete, deliberate, and flagrant violation of international law and human decency is a stain on the conscience of the Global North and every president, staffer, soldier, and bureaucrat who made this happen. May the recorded voices of Layan and Hind, begging for rescue before dying alone, haunt them for the rest of their days.

Remember Hind, Layan, Yusuf, and Ahmed. Do not let despair consume you. Fight for them, for a permanent ceasefire, for accountability, and for whatever justice can be achieved, even if it seems small and pointless. Tell the world what the occupation has done, share the recordings and the updates from people on the ground. No matter how bleak things are, it is always worthwhile to tell the truth and fight for what’s right.

Keep Hind’s mother, grandfather, and surviving relatives, and the families of Yusuf and Ahmed in your hearts.

Devil’s Garden

A quick summary post of lore for some of these OCs (after the cut). If you want to see more art of them, check out the tag #devil’s-garden-universe

“Devil’s Garden” is a universe I share with the bestie @hellosunnycore☀️ In this world, magical girls are not just a part of daily life but idols and an entire subculture onto themselves. Magical girls are also not just girls, as Saints (the common term in this world, along with Angels) of all genders can be found.

Here are some of my OCs in this universe:

Cosimo ✨ 21 ✨he/they

Cosimo is a film student, rollerblader, and proud saint. Initially a bit nervous about taking on this role, he quickly embraced it after a tumultuous encounter with a handsome, mysterious angel. Before he became one himself, Cosimo wasn’t all that interested in the saint culture, with one exception: the beautiful Saint Valentine (belongs to @hellosunnycore). He’s trans masc+agender and best friends with Oriana and Obi. He’s dating a guy named Gabriel who goes to a different college.

Oriana 🌷22🌷she/her

Oriana is a fashion student and saint (though she prefers to call herself a magical girl). Being a magical girl was the thing she wanted most her whole life. The day she gained her powers was a dream come true for her. However this excitement quickly turned to reality as she realized there was a lot more to this than what she bargained for. Her dream is to become as powerful as her idol, Saint Valentine. Oriana is a trans woman, she is childhood friends with Cosimo and is dating Obi.

Obi 🦇 21 🦇 he/him

Obi is an art student and saint who runs his shop of goth+punk jewelry and leather goods from his dorm. A child of immigrants, he struggles to balance out his many identities and the ways they overlap and clash. Obi is a trans man. He met Oriana and Cosimo in their third year of high school.

Uriel 👁️‍🗨️ 24 👁️‍🗨️ they/them

Not much is known about this saint, other than their extreme strength and the fury in their convictions. They have reached a higher level of sainthood and is referred to as a guardian. A mysterious fire broke out one day in their shrine, a place that was used to house orphans and which had somewhat fallen into disarray after their followers began to gather in masses. Nearly all inside died. The survivors were healed by Uriel’s tears. Uriel is agender.

Borzoi ⛓️ 28 ⛓️ she/her

Another mysterious saint, her real name is unknown. Due to past abuses and trauma, she finds it extremely hard to trust anyone and she puts on a cold exterior to protect a deeply wounded heart. Borzoi is a cis woman. She has a brother who she lost contact with in childhood and a toxic yuri hatemance with @hellosunnycore’s OC Charlotte

I hope to share more art and lore of them sometime, but I think this is a good start. You can see more art of my specific OCs by visiting their tags.

Some studies when I was watching BCS for the first time. I really enjoy getting a good likeness, not just because it helps with recognizability of the fanart but also because it's a really fun challenge. Some tips on how I approach this:

You can see how I work through Kim and Jimmy's faces here: First I trace directly over screencaps from the show, focusing on marking the distance of each feature and its placement on their head shapes. How close is the brow to the eye, nose from the middle of the mouth, etc.

After tracing it out, I do some freehand sketches relying more on the shapes and proportions I've mapped out. The little arrows I've drawn next to some of the faces help me remember to keep note of the way certain lines or shapes curve into others. These are great things to exaggerate, because when you keep these things accurate and intact, the illusion of likeness comes through.

Whether you actively recognize it or not, your brain is always making connections to the negative space relationships between features almost as much as the shapes and positions of the features themselves.

Another thing I like to do is collect much more detailed, organized reference of the character I'm drawing and figure out the harmonies of the face. This is kind of a bastardized and oversimplified Reilly method, where I'll draw straight lines connecting each feature of the face to build landmarks. You can see me working though that here, with Barry.

I started figuring out his head shape, but I also found that the midpoint of his furrowed brow creates a triangle shape with the shape of his nose down to the edges of his mouth. Keeping this shape consistent, even in simplified/stylistic depictions of the character, means he will always be a little recognizable, because the part of your brain that knows what Barry looks like connects with that existing shape.

Playing with those abstractions can help you experiment with how you want a character to look. Don't worry if they don't look perfect. That's the fun of study. Here are a handful of Kimmies, each varying in % of likeness (and degrees of success), but all keeping some key points of her "design". You can see where I start to play with features, removing some things, tinkering with others.

Another little note...since we view these people through cameras, different focal lengths can affect the way their features are proportioned (take a look at the perceived width and height of Hader's enormous fucking head in the upper right corner compared to the adjacent images, for example)–– so this is a good way to keep that in check when you're doing studies. As always, this isn't drawing law. Draw fanart however you please, and feel free to discard all of this information! This is simply my approach, and it is fun for ME!

Thanks for reading.
