@vickypersch: Did you forget Johnny or was that intentional 😂😂😂
Me: So…funny story… (I swear I love Johnny. I do.)
I wasn’t sure at all what I wanted to draw for Steve’s birthday. I didn’t have a direction at all. I thought about drawing OG Steve and Mexican Steve interacting. I also thought about doing a sketch dump for 🇲🇽Steve like I did for Johnny’s b-day. So, I just started with a sketch of 🇲🇽Steve in the center and began to build around that.
So, there’s 🇲🇽Steve, bein all cute, then I drew—what I thought was going to be OG Steve but ended up being—Soda, and then I drew Two-Bit on the other side of him. And since I drew Two and Soda I figured I had to draw Ponyboy! So I squeezed Pony in by having him hang off Soda (because he’s his and Steve’s little tag along ya know? and Soda and Pony are just like that anyways). And since I added Pony I had to draw Darry! So I got away with him being a little taller than everyone else cause that’s just how I imagine him, and then I realized; 🧍🏽♀️I don’t have any room for Johnny and Dally….🫥
It was a major dilemma last night. I was having a crisis. I seriously didn’t know where tf to put them.
And because I don’t believe in post canon 🙂↔️ I couldn’t leave them out. I just…couldn’t…it’s too morbid for me to exclude them. Sorry, I don’t like being ✨sad✨ (hence the date: pre-canon, although…it’d still be sad cause Mama and Papa Curtis would’ve JUST died…)
SO I squeezed Dally in behind Two and the humor of Soda’s hand covering his face is cute. And Johnny being absolutely enveloped by the group was such a silly idea that I just went ahead and made Johnny a singular arm 💀 —the irony of him holding the lighter is intentional btw.

My name is Saja. I’m a wife, a mother, and a woman who once believed her story would be simple. I thought my days would be filled with watching my daughter grow — from her first smile to her first steps — surrounded by the small joys of everyday life.
But life had other plans.
War has returned to our home. Again. And once again, we find ourselves living under skies that never seem to rest.
There was a moment — a fragile, breathless moment — when the bombs paused and the world seemed to remember us. It gave us hope. We thought maybe, just maybe, we could start to rebuild. But now, we are back in the dark — hiding, holding on, praying.
I’m writing this not as someone seeking pity, but as a mother who has no other choice but to speak.
Imagine holding your baby in the middle of the night, not because she cried, but because the world outside roared too loud for either of you to sleep. Imagine whispering bedtime stories not to lull her into dreams, but to keep the fear from settling into her tiny bones.
This is my life.
This is my daughter’s life.
And even now — especially now — I believe in softness. I believe in kindness. Because when everything else is taken from you, hope becomes the most valuable thing you have.
Why I’m Reaching Out Our home has been damaged. Our lives changed. But through it all, my daughter wakes up every morning with a smile. She reaches for me with trust, with love, with faith that I will keep her safe.
That’s why I keep going.
I’ve launched a campaign to ask for help — not because it’s easy, but because silence is no longer an option. I am asking for support not just for me, but for my baby, and for the quiet strength of so many mothers like me who are fighting, every single day, to hold their families together.
How You Can Help: 🤍 Help us restore parts of our home so we can live with dignity 🤍 Support women and mothers in Gaza with access to care and resources 🤍 Keep the light of hope alive for a generation born in the shadows of war
💛 If you can, please support our journey here:
If you can’t give, please consider sharing. Your voice might be the reason someone else hears ours.
From My Heart to Yours Maybe our lives are worlds apart. Maybe you’ve never lived through war. But if you’ve ever held a child and wished the world could be better for them — then you understand more than you know.
I don’t want my daughter to grow up thinking the world turned away.
Please, if you’ve read this far — thank you. Thank you for seeing us. Thank you for caring. We are still here. Still hoping. Still holding on to every kind act like it’s a lifeline.
