This is not a natural disaster. This was not inevitable. They didn't grow up like this. It was inflicted on them by the vilest sadists on earth.

why Ham@s, which mainly consists of orphans, is a resistance group? Oppressions breeds resistance.

It's a non-profit organization in Jordan, dedicated to improving the lives of underprivileged individuals and communities through various initiatives and programs, currently helping Palestinians students who have recently been orphaned by the siege on Gaza.

I bet that little Jim started seeing petey as a brother and stayed with him along the way while petey just saw him as the annoying kid that followed him (they would still act like brothers and got comfortable with each other)

hello! i hope you are well ☺️

after this chapter i am genuinely so confused as to why the undertaker (who i presume revived doll as a bd since he was present when sebastian killed her) would allow her to attempt revenge on ociel and the servants. doesn’t he not want any more phantomhives lost? even if no harm could ever reach ociel because of sebastian, doll does still pose somewhat of a threat to him as he is only human and she is this enhanced creature with potential abilities to harm him. also why is doll referring to the servants as ‘phantomhives’, i mean sure they work for the master of house phantomhive, but they aren’t; why is she calling them that when her master who is rciel (i think) is also a phantomhive? last but not least, who do you think will leave victorious, doll and the maids or finny and the kids.

thanks in advance for your reply and have a wonderful day😊

Conflict of interests

Undertaker does a lot of things that seem to go against his own interests. He's been figuratively shooting himself in the foot. I guess it's because if he told our earl what he really wanted to do, ultimately, then our earl would not agree. Instead, Undertaker has decided to try to force our earl into a situation where he's more willing to accept his terms, whenever he eventually gets around to stating them; that would be whenever our earl is most vulnerable. That would definitely hold true, if, say... Undertaker wants to transplant our earl's soul into real Ciel's body, as some last ditch effort to "save" them both. Our earl (or Sebastian) would likely only agree to that if our earl's body were severely damaged in a fight or something. Until the contract is fulfilled, Sebastian can't let him die.

I can envision scenarios in which our earl is injured to the point that the only way to keep his soul from departing would be to place it into another vessel. Sebastian previously offered to place him entirely, soul and body, within himself to keep him safe, but our earl declined. That would be separate from devouring him, but if his body is too injured to survive, then putting him inside Sebastian might be the same as devouring him. Can't do that until the contract is up. Undertaker would step in saying something like "What to do? What to do?! Oh, I have an idea! Hihi!" Removing our earl's soul and placing it into real Ciel's body could break the contract, because real Ciel doesn't have a contract seal. This became an issue in s1, when the contract temporarily breaks because Ash/Angela cuts off Sebastian's left arm, which has the contract seal on that hand. That's how Claude steals his soul before Sebastian can devour it. Undertaker is a tricky fellow, and I'm sure he's looking at every opportunity he can find, even if it risks lives he wants to protect.

Doll sees anyone associated with our earl as a "Phantomhive", which is seriously ironic, because she's working for a Phantomhive and Undertaker, who wishes to not lose Phantomhives. If Polaris was once a Phantomhive butler, as I theorize, then he's another. Tanaka would count, too, regardless of which brother he serves. Doll herself is a "Phantomhive", in the same way that Finny and Snake are.

In a recent post, I said that I hope Snake and Finny point out to her that she's working for her enemy's twin, the real Ciel Phantomhive. I don't know whether she's actually met him. Would she mistake him for the younger twin who had her and her family killed? Or does she have some sort of doublethink going on, where she refuses to accept the obvious; it's all just a feud within the same family. She's being duped and used by the Phantomhives, either way.

I do expect Finny and most of the kids to survive, but there might be some casualties on Finny's side. We could lose some kids, besides the candidates that have already "fledged", because that's how dark the series has become. Snake could lose a snake. Even Snake could end up dying, but I sure hope not. We have to remember that Yana-san has no qualms with killing off a beloved character that's been in the story for many years. I can't even promise that Finny makes it out; I just think he probably will. Mother3 theory says Finny should survive, but 🤷🏻‍♀️.

23 of January 2011, The 25th of January 2011 revolution in Egypt has already begun & I was a 10 years old staying at home cause we had curfews imposed by the government at that time.

I got my first period on that day the 23rd of January, I was lucky enough to get the guidance of my mother, to find sanitary period products to use, I had water to shower & have warm drinks & before curfew my parents were able to get me some sweet stuff I would crave.

If you don't know, that was a dangerous time in my country as chaos were happening everywhere that hypermarkets were stolen at that time & it was dangerous especially that a terrorist attack happened before it as well.

Why am I mentioning all of that? Because as I had the privilege to have all that during dangerous time when I had my period the Palestinian women do not have that privilege at the moment, it has been more than 70 days which could mean women there might have had 2-3 times of continuous bleeding if not more due to the stress & anxiety they're living through.

During that time we always wish for warmth, food, pads/tampons/menstrual cups or whatever you use & alot of things that brings us comfort let alone out mental needs as well.

These women have none of these, I've seen a post about a Palestinian woman who had to cut from the tent to make herself a pad that's 100% not sanitary with their lack of at least water to start with.

Simple life needs don't exist there & these women & the girl who might get their first periods other than the fact that they lack all that, they might not even have someone to guide them through their first period cause more children have been orphaned.
