Shadow Snufkin/Joxter AU

Winters shadow (joxter): he is a shadowy figure that walks with the cold and snowy weather. Only his eyes and sillouette are visible, making him hard to see. Usually he stays in woodland areas barely ever in open plains. Rumors and tales say that whatever creature sees him something bad would occur. He is able to hear and see what others cannot, unable to be injured, and he is able to predict when an event is about to happen to the creature that crosses his path, it's best to avoid them as he is an omen of bad luck. It is unknown when he has been around or how he came to be and only a handful have encountered him but many are afraid of him.

Springs shadow (snufkin): most assumed only one shadow has walked among a season, he is mistaken for Winters shadow often as he is a shadowy figure but still shows color. Every spring, creatures from all over are able to hear his music whether near or far. He comes around every spring but sticks around until the middle of fall. Only a small few has encountered or even seen him but to those who have, he would tell them a story that relates to a situation they would face sometime after meeting him. nothing terrible has happened when seeing him yet many still are wary. moomintroll being the only creature to be trusting of him thus far.

Moomintroll is enthralled by snufkin, not knowing much about him but still waits for him every spring. Every year spent with snufkin, he ends up falling in love with the shadow. He tells his friends and family about snufkin but no one believes him but he doesn't care.

I do think with news of the ceasefire, everyone should read up on what the ceasefire actually means and what the different phases of the ceasefire are. here's a good source for what we know as of now:

Al Jazeera

What do we know about a Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal in Gaza?

Ceasefire reportedly agreed, including a prisoner exchange and aid surge, after more than 460 days of conflict.

Some of my initial takeaways are:

this ceasefire is temporary (as of right now, six weeks long). negotiations will continue but israel is not offering guarantees about continued non-violence. BDS remains important. be vigilant, keep pressure up

rafah crossing will open one week after the initial phase starts

israel will release 2000 prisoners

more aid will get to northern gaza, look out for ways you can help

if the second phase is initiated, israel will do a complete withdrawal from gaza. which means the initial phase will not include that. again i say: BE VIGILANT

if the third phase is reached, reconstruction will begin "under international supervision"

nothing is over, even if this is a relief. do not tap out, do not tune out.
