Put On Your Raincoats | Easy (Spinelli, 1978)

Like Vista Valley PTA, the movie has an ugly streak with respect to its sex scenes. You start off with two scenes where Jesie St. James is assaulted by her male students, which are both rapey in that Golden Age way where the nonconsensual turns into the consensual. One is in a classroom, but the more memorable one is in her home, where she's raped by Richard Pacheco playing the world's oldest teenager in sunglasses and a leather jacket, who threatens her with a switchblade before forcing himself on her while we get hard rock guitar and tribal drums on the soundtrack.

And later on we get a lesbian rape scene, an angry Georgina Spelvin as the other woman in a relationship who attacks her in her lover's home. Spelvin is holding back on the slaps, but she gets in some nipple twisting and drags St. James by her hair across the floor, and the burst of handheld camerawork makes this feel extra bruising. And like that movie, the strength of the performances and the direction makes this effective on a prurient level. You can question whether this stuff should be hot, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't. And in terms of other unpleasantness, she gets propositioned by a sleaze played by Anthony Spinelli himself, looking like Burt Young without his beard in a bar scene defined by high contrast lighting.

But not all the sex is viewed so caustically. Early on St. James makes love to a blind piano tuner played by Ken Scudder, who doesn't have his usual mustache or cowboy affect. It's a pretty tender scene, with Scudder expressing his insecurity that she's might be fucking him because she feels sorry for him, and her putting those fears to rest.

Later, St. James temporarily finds love with a guy who resembles a porno Paul Le Mat, but not before she and her friends Laurien Dominique and Desiree Cousteau pair up with some guys during a dinner party. There's one last guy left eating alone at the table, who introverts in the audience can probably relate to. This sequence ends up cutting between the three pairs of lovers, a tactic I'm normally not fond of, but the cutting and alternating music selection holds it together pretty nicely. Listen, if you're gonna do match cuts between blowjobs, you've got the direction down pretty nicely. Plus Dominique's hair and eyebrows make her look like a '30s cinema heroine, which is very important to note. For those of you TCM fans who've dreamed of seeing, I dunno, Myrna Loy getting railed, this is as close as you'll get.

This is in essence a performer showcase, and while some of the material might be unpleasant, I think it works really well. You have a great central presence in St. James. Listen, I don't have to tell you that her cheekbones and athletic physique present obvious charms, but I do think the movie does well to capture her beauty, bathing her in idyllic lighting as she jogs during the opening. Plus she's great in the sex scenes and the movie wisely features her in all of them (even if it's technically cheating during the dinner party scene, she is never far from our hearts or the screen). The boingoingoing factor is strong, is what I'm saying.

But this is also about a woman struggling with her sense of sexual agency, a theme which makes the varying levels of consent in the sex scenes cohere into something that actually resonates on an emotional level. St. James projects dignity even when her circumstances threaten to take it away from her, and the movie gives her room to think and feel good or bad about what she's going through. There is ugliness in this movie, and the ending, captured in freeze frame with echoing dialogue, is not happy, but there is real empathy at the heart of this movie.

Date, December 25,2024

Santa Gave the Chiefs their 15th victory of the year, which is the most in franchise history, and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs,

The Chiefs knocked off the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-10 on Christmas day in a game that was all Kansas City. Patrick Mahomes threw two touchdowns in the first two drives: a seven-yard catch by wide receiver Xavier Worthy and then an eleven-yard touchdown pass to tight end Justin Watson. With a missed extra point, the Chiefs led 13-0 in the first quarter.

Russel Wilson did manage to find the endzone in the second quarter for the Steelers' only touchdown of the game, making the score 13-7 at the half with the Chiefs leading.

As the game continued, it was all Kansas City. Patrick Mahomes played his best game of the season, having completed 28 of 39 passes for 320 yards and three touchdowns with a 127.1 quarterback rating. Xavier Worthy caught 8 passes for 79 yards and a touchdown, and Travis Kelce also caught 8 passes for 84 yards and a touchdown.

Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt scored the Chiefs' third touchdown of the game. Hunt carried nine times for 20 yards. In the meantime, running back Isiaha Pacheco left the game with a rib injury.

Later in the  4th quarter, tight end Travis Kelece caught his 77th touchdown pass, passing up Hall-of-Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez with 76 for most touchdown receptions in Chiefs history. 

The Chiefs' defense also held their weight today, sacking Russell Wilson five times and forcing two turnovers.  

Russell Wilson completed 22 of his 37 passes for 205 yards and one interception. He also carried the ball 6 times for 55 yards. Jaylen Warren rushed for 71 yards on 11 carries, while Najee Harris rushed on 13 carries for 74 yards. In total, the Steelers offense had 202 yards on the ground with 31 total carries. 

As the Chiefs locked up the #1 seed, they play their final game at the Mile High as they play the Denver Broncos, who are looking for a playoff spot, while the Steelers host their final game vs the Cincinnati Bengals

Brazil Senate committee removes weapons, sugary beverages from excise tax

Constitution and Justice Committee passes tax reform; floor vote postponed to Thursday morning

The Senate’s Constitution and Justice Committee (CCJ) approved the main supplementary bill (PLP 68/2024) of the tax reform on Wednesday (11). After more than seven hours of debate, the committee made several changes to the report presented the previous day by Senator Eduardo Braga, excluding weapons, ammunition, and sugary beverages from the list of items subject to the excise tax. On the other hand, the committee added more sectors to the list eligible for a 60% reduced tax rate, which could increase the standard rate of the new Value-Added Tax (VAT).

The bill will be reviewed by the Senate plenary this Thursday before being sent to the Lower House. Senate President Rodrigo Pacheco canceled a Congressional session scheduled for the same time to prioritize the proposal’s discussion.

Mr. Braga had personally decided to include weapons and ammunition under the excise tax. Exempting these products—intended to discourage goods deemed harmful to health and the environment—is a victory for the opposition. Senator Flávio Bolsonaro argued that the move was ideological and unnecessary in a technical bill, as the extra tax on these items had already been rejected in the House plenary.

“This was never discussed at any point. Its impact on revenue is negligible. He included it for personal, ideological reasons in an otherwise highly technical project,” Mr. Bolsonaro noted.

taglist at the end

Symbiote Masterlist

-----------------------------------

Gene sat on the floor of a decrepit, foreclosed home he was squatting in, back against the wall and a bottle of wine he stole from the Pacheco house. He tilted his head back and took a long swig from the bottle, his glassy eyes never leaving the wall in front of him. His plan was nearly perfect. He didn't even think about (Y/N) and Lucifer not technically being police, he was just too excited to take them both down a notch.

His eyes trail over the wall, looking at the various candid pictures he had of the new inhuman duo. His upper lip curled slightly at (Y/N)'s face in particular. The thief who stole his symbiote. The symbiote who would of granted the extra power to him so he could carry out his plan of killing the wicked and the sinners. That was his alien, not theirs. He took another drink of the wine, wincing as it was getting close to empty.

"I'll kill you. Then that alien will fulfil its purpose." He rasped, sitting up from his spot and walking closer to the wall. His eyes were trained on a photo of Lucifer and (Y/N). "I'll kill you and the Devil, and I'll take what's mine and rid the Earth of the ultimate sin. Just you wait."

-------------------

Loud knocking at your apartment door woke you and Venom up from a deep slumber. You look at the time on your phone and saw it was 7:34am. Still half-awake, you grumble and get out of bed with a grouchy symbiote shouting in your mind. You had a scowl on your face as you approached your front door. You gripped the doorknob tightly and nearly ripped the door off its hinges, ready to tear a new one into-

"Eddie?" Your eyes widened at the slightly-disheveled man. He dropped his bag and immediately wrapped his arms around you, one of his hands rested on the back of your head. "What the- Why the hell are you here?"

"EDDIE!" Venom shouted at made himself appear to wrap around the both of you.

"Well, after you told me Gene broke into your place and you were shot I was already thinking of seeing what trouble you are already getting into. And then with what happened with Gene yesterday, I had to visit you." He sighed and tried pulling away, but Venom's gooey-self kept clinging onto your friend. "Yeah, yeah. It's good to see you too buddy."

"Let the man come inside." You laughed as the alien grumbled and returned back into your body. Eddie grinned and shook his head. He leaned down and picked up his back before coming inside.

"Nice place you got."

"Thanks, it's comfy. Have you eaten at all? We don't have much but I can order us something. We just woke up." You yawned and watched as your friend set his bag by the couch before turning to you.

"I can tell you just woke up, you have that 'I just woke-up and I haven't had any sustenance' look to you."

"Screw you." You laughed and Eddie chuckled.

"Take me somewhere. I know it hasn't been long but you have to catch me up more on everything. Especially this Lucifer character you've seemingly gotten close with."

"Sure, just let me put on a more presentable look and we can get going." You chose to ignore his last statement, especially with the infliction in his tone. You start moving to your room. "I know a spot or two we can hit for some good breakfast food."

"Oh, mind if I crash here? I could only get three days off and all the hotels around here are booked."

"Sure, I don't mind!" You grinned and get ready. You put together a comfortable outfit for a walk around and did your hair to your liking for a casual day. You felt very, very giddy and you were sure it was a mix of your's and Venom's excitement. As you were about to exit your room after getting ready, you remembered Lucifer. You quickly pulled out your phone and shot him a quick text explaining the situation. Usually he rarely goes into the station before 10 am so you should be fine.

You left your room and Eddie promptly followed you out of your apartment, watching you lock the front door and following you downstairs.

"I take it you didn't rent a car?" You asked.

"Nope. This was kind of a last minute decision to see you." He let out an airy laugh.

"I see. You missed me that much?" You gave him a cheeky grin.

"Duh. And I had to make sure to keep you in line. You said you wanted a more normal life yet you've been shot already here."

"Trouble follows me, Eds. You know this. It follows you too."

"Fair. Still, I worry about you... And I wanted a mini-vacation for a few days." You both share a laugh. You walked through the somewhat bustling streets, leading you both to a diner nearby your place with decent breakfast foods. You both entered and only had to wait a few minutes to be seated in a booth in the right corner despite the crowded and busy atmosphere.

Your eyes scanned the menu, with Venom demanding you get him a country fried stake and a cinnamon roll.

"You pest." You hiss at his demands, causing Eddie to laugh and watch as you seemingly talk to yourself. "I'll get you the damn cinnamon roll stop shouting at me."

"I'll pay for it, (Y/N). Don't worry about it, get him his meal."

"It's not a concern about money, it's his attitude." You practically growl as you hear Venom cackle. The waitress came over and greeted you and Eddie with a warm smile. She wrote down your orders, eyeing you but not saying anything at your double order. She walked away and Eddie leaned forward with an inquisitive look on his face.

"So, Lucifer Morningstar..." He started.

"Yeah, what about my boss?"

"What is he like? He looks very handsome." He waggled his eyebrows with a playful smirk. He props up his head with his hand under his chin, face returning back to a relaxed look. "He is Lucifer after all. Is he as dark as people believe? Or..."

"No. He is actually a decent guy with all things considered." You paused for a moment to gather your thoughts about your friend. "Lucifer is a bit of a pompous dick when you first meet him...but as I've spent some time with him I can tell he is good, even if he doesn't admit it. He is caring in his own ways."

"I'm glad then. If he was any sort of asshole to you I would have to kick his ass." Eddie said with a cheeky grin.

"I'd like to see you try." You laughed and stared out the window.

"Do you have a crush?" You immediately snapped back at Eddie with a bewildered expression.

"What? No. He is nice to me and we get along well, but I do not have a crush on him."

"LIAR." Venom popped out and popped right back in just to speak outloud.

"Just for that, Venom, I am blasting My Heart Will Go On on repeat for you, even if it physically and mentally hurts me too." You seethed glancing down at yourself before putting your full attention back on your friend. Venom, at first, didn't believe you but in mere seconds he was already begging for you not to.

"Hey, you can tell me anything." Eddie teased. "Your secret crush will be safe with me."

"Eds. I didn't have the best luck with partners before everything happened at Life Foundation. And dating seems almost impossible now with an alien in my body." Your volume lowering as you spoke that last part.

"Maybe Lucifer is into Venom too."

You scoffed and rolled your eyes.

"You never know!"

"And I don't plan to because I don't have romantic feelings for him."

Eddie opened his mouth to say more but you saw a different waitress approaching with the food and drinks you ordered.

"Sorry about the wait. We are down some people and it's busy." She gave a bashful smile and started setting down plates and cups. Looking at her face she seemed familiar but you couldn't quite figure out where you have seen her before. Her hair was dark and wavy, pulled back in a low ponytail with a few strands framing her face. Her eyes were brown and full of warmth. Freckles adorned her face and when she smiled you noticed subtle dimples.

"No worries." Eddie smiled back.

"I'll be right out with the country fried stake and the cinnamon roll." She turned away from the table but then promptly faced you two again. "Oh, I'm Tiffany by the way! Marci, your other server, went on break so I'll be taking care of you." She quickly left and headed back into the kitchen.

"You have a look on your face, what is it?" Eddie asked, mouth already full of hashbrowns.

"She just seemed familiar is all." Your brows furrowed as you tried to figure out where you've seen her before. You shrug and decide to dig into your food. "Oh, Lucifer-"

"What about me?" You nearly choked as the Devil himself slid into the booth next to Eddie, who also looked equally as shocked as you. "Took me two restaurants to find you both."

"Why are you-" You started to ask but were interrupted with your waitresses return.

"And here's the country fried s- Oh! It's you!" She looked at Lucifer with wide eyes as she set the plates in front of him. She almost seemed nervous as she pulled out extra cutlery bound in a white napkin from her apron.

"Tiffany." The Devil smirked and leaned back, barely resting himself against Eddie to get a better look at her. "You look well, what a surprise to see you here."

"Y-yeah. After the whole convience store robbery fiasco I looked for a new job and landed here. Uh... how did everything work out?"

'Oh shit, she was the cashier at the convenience store.' You kept your realization to yourself and kept darting your eyes between the two. 'He must of interviewed her after it happened.'

"We did not arrest the monster." You almost missed the way Lucifer's eyes glanced to you while he had a smirk plastered on his face.

Tiffany almost sighed in relief but kept her composure. "I see."

"We did track down that missing customer though." You kicked his shin under the table but he didn't even flinch. He gestured to you and the waitress's eyes followed to your form.

"Hi." You sheepishly smiled. "That's me. Got out through the backdoor before anything happened. Glad to see you're okay."

"You too." She offered a genuine smile, but then squinted. "I don't remember seeing your face, but you seem familiar... Ah, my memory is still a bit fuzzy from that event."

"I can imagine. I heard about it on the news."

There was a ding from the kitchen and a loud voice calling for someone to pick up an order.

"I have to get back to work, sorry for the slightly depressing conversation but it was nice seeing you two again." Tiffany once again gave you both a bright smile and hurried back to work.

"She seemed lovely." Eddie said before shoveling more food into his mouth. Before you could take the plates from Lucifer, the Devil immediately got the fork and knife out from the napkin bundle and started cutting into the steak.

"That was Venoms." You glared and could feel Venoms anger.

"My apologies." Lucifer pushed the plate to you. "Is the cinnamon roll hi-"

"Yes." You cut him off and reach over, moving it to your side. "We weren't expecting you to join us."

Lucifer glaced to Eddie, finally acknowledging his presence. He held out his hand, "Eddie Brock. It is wonderful to finally meet you. I am a big fan of your show with (Y/N)."

"It's nice to meet you too, man. (Y/N) has told me all about you." Eddie grasped his hand with a firm shake.

"They have?" Lucifer turned his head to face you, an eyebrow raised the accentuate his cocky expression. "Hopefully all the sexy bits-"

"Lucifer!" You hissed and kicked him again. He kicked you back and you did it again. The table shook and people were staring but you didn't care. You wanted to get back at him but you were also having fun with it.

"Okay, children, enough." Eddie sighed and rolled his eyes. You both immediately stopped and focused on him, but you couldn't help but get one more kick in. Lucifer squinted his eyes you but decided to not engage.

"Anyways..." Eds started speaking. "It's great to meet you. And I wanted to say thank you for taking care of (Y/N). I'm still very concerned about Gene being loose but so far you've treated them and Venom well from what I have heard." He smiled.

"Well I am glad to have meet the duo. They add excitement to my life." Lucifer looked back to you with a soft smile and you couldn't help but feel heat crawling up the back of your neck. His face went back to his usual expression and he turned to face Eddie. "So tell me all the embarrassing stories about (Y/N) and Venom, and do not hold out on any juicy details. I will know if you lie."

You kicked him again. -----------

After breakfast you gave Eddie the key to your place while you and Lucifer went to the station. Thankfully there wasn't much to do for you both and any calls that you went on with Chloe were easy enough to figure out and deal with. There was nothing new with Gene, but that was to be expected after the stunt he pulled. He often went dormant for a few days and sometimes up to a week or so before striking again.

Dan had been warming up to you and slowly let go of his past apprehension. You spent your lunch chatting with him, much to Lucifer's disdain, and enjoyed the conversation. You thought it was cute the way he talked about his daughter and how much he adored her.

Mazikeen stopped by to drop off her bounty target. When she spotted you and Lucifer at Chloe's desk she smirked and approached you both, but kept her attention on you. She pulled you along to the vending machine and told you she admired the your's and Venom's 'work' with the convience store robbers and the muggers you both delt with, stating "the violence of it reminded her of hell." She let you get back to Decker's desk after giving you her number if you ever wanted to 'let off steam.' You weren't sure what context she meant but you were happy to seemingly have her as a friend.

Lucifer proposed he take you and Eddie to Lux for the evening. Although you were a little apprehensive, with the noise levels and with running into Amenadiel again, you agreed.

It was the end of the day at the station. As you stood at Chloe's desk, you began texting Eddie the plan Lucifer suggested while he was away bugging Dan. You also let him know that you and Lucifer were picking up something to eat beforehand.

"Stop looking over my shoulder at my phone, Lucifer." You huff, pressing send on the message.

"How could you tell I was there?"

"Heightened senses thanks to Venom, remember?"

"Right." Lucifer chuckled and then leaned forward, his head now right beside yours with his chin on your shoulder. "What is my contact?"

"W-what?"

"What is my contact information in your phone? Eddie's has a blue heart next to his and what looked like a candid funny picture of him. I want to know what mine looks like."

"Uh it looks like this?" You quickly found his contact in your phone as you had his saved as a favorite and showed him. It was just his full name with no icon.

"Boring!" He quickly reached from behind you and snatched your phone away, barely missing his arm as you tried to stop him.

"Hey-!" You tried to reach for it but he used his height to keep you from getting it. You glanced around and cursed under your breath at the sight of all the people at the station, who were watching you both in confusion and amusement. If there weren't so many people you would have used Venom for help.

"You will get your phone back hold on." He turned his back to you as he started typing. You watched as he then raised the phone like he was taking a selfie but you couldn't quite see the screen. He messed around again before turning back to you, handing your phone, which he locked.

You snatched your phone back and put in the code to unlock it. You let out a loud laugh before clamping your free hand over your mouth. His contact name now read as:

'Luci 😈❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💋'

It wasn't just the name that made you laugh, it was his icon. You now had a selfie of him winking with his lips puckered for a kiss. You took a few moments to calm yourself at the ridiculousness of his selfie and the name, missing the way Lucifer was staring at you with fondness in his eyes. When you looked back him he immediate regained his usual cocky composure.

"What is mine on your phone?"

"I am so glad you asked." Lucifer pulled out his cellphone, unlocked it, and pulled up your contact before handing you his phone.

Your contact name on his phone was yours and Venom's names, followed by the alien emoji and the black and white hearts. The picture had you furrow your brows. It looked like a candid shot of you at the beach where Lucifer showed you his wings. When did he...

"I am still thinking of a better name for you both. I almost wanted to put Elliot and E.T. but I felt it was too on the nose."

"Let me know when you change it then. I am sure that creative brain of yours will think of something." You handed him his phone back and quickly checked yours. "Let's go get food. Eddie says he is down for some drinks at Lux."

--------

Skipping the long line into Lux thanks to Lucifer, you two were lead by the Devil through the packed nightclub. The music was loud and a bit bothersome, but managable. You noticed your best friend looking back at you worriedly as you both moved past people, but you reassured him with asmile and thumbs up. The three of you successfully made it to the familiar booth Lucifer had reserved for himself. You slid in after Eddie and Lucifer followed suit, you now sat between the two while there was still some distance betwen you all. Luci slid the various menus to you both and leaned back into the seat.

"Feel free to order whatever you guys want." The fallen angel waved his hand towards the menus with a smirk. "Perks of being the owner after all. We have top of the line whiskeys, brandys, tequilas... you name it. And don't drink too much again, (Y/N), we do not need a repeat of last time."

"Last time?" Eddie raised a brow and looked between you both.

"I am not surprised they didn't tell you." Lucifer delved into the story of your drunken state. You huffed in embarrassment and grabbed one of the drink menus, knowing you wouldn't be able to stop Lucifer. You scanned over the different drinks and opted to a drink you enjoyed and were familar with.

You slid the menu back to Eddie as Lucifer finished the story.

"Ready?" The nightclub owner asked and you both nodded. Lucifer raised his hand and gestured over a waitress. She wore a small, dark red crop-top, high waisted black shorts, and a fancy pair of heels. Her eyes adorned a smokey makeup look and her lips were a bright red. She was stunning, even in the lowlit club.

"Lucifer, it's always a pleasure to serve you." She gave him a wink and a sultry look, her hand resting on his shoulder. "What can I do for you?"

"A glass of the Redbreast whiskey for me." He then gestured to you and Eddie as she put the order in on her tablet

"Uh... I think I'll try the Newbarns Oat Lager." Eddie smiled and the waitress simply nodded while she entering his drink order. Her gaze lingered back to Lucifer before she looked at you.

You gave her the name of the drink, which she put down, before resuming her full attention on the fallen angel. You weren't sure what you were feeling but you knew you felt a little uncomfortable with how she interacted him.

"JEALOUS~"

"Shut it." You hissed under your breath.

"Will that be all, sir?"

"Yes, and everything will be on my tab tonight." Lucifer replied.

"Of course. Those drinks will be out soon." She winked and sauntered off.

"So, Eddie, what do you think of Lux?"

"It's cool. I am more of a dive bar kind of guy these days, but I appreciate the club scene." Eddie grinned then looked to you. "How are you and V feeling?"

"Everything is manageable Eds. The music isn't loud enough to cause actual pain." You, once again, gave him a smile to reassure his worries.

The waitress came back with the drinks on her tray. She smiled and placed Lucifer's whiskey down first. She then placed your's and Eddie's down while leaning over, close to Lucifer. You supressed the urge to roll your eyes but then did so anyways when you hear Venom cackling. After setting the drinks down she placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Let me know if you and your guests want anything else, Mr. Morningstar."

She walked away, letting her hand linger for a moment before walking away. You felt your phone buzz in your pocket and took a quick look at the notification; Eddie had texted you.

'Someone jealous? ;)' It read. You looked at him with a deadpan expression and quickly texted a no. 'I saw you roll your eyes.'

'Because Venom is being a nuisance in my head. Drop it.' You replied and put your phone away, you saw Eddie did as well.

Conversation between the three of you carried on naturally, as if you had been a friend group for years. You knew the two social butterflies would have no issues conversing and it made you happy your two friends got along so well. You made sure to input Venom's contributions as well for him.

After several drinks, you and Eddie were buzzed while Lucifer appeared to be unaffected. But you all were enjoying the night in each others company. What could go wrong?

"Lucifer!" A familiar voice boomed and you instantly sobered up at the sight of Amenadiel. You groaned, tilting your head back as you let yourself fall to the side and rested against who you thought was Eddie. Except after breathing in, you smelt Lucifer's distinct cologne and realized your head and shoulder were against his arm. You move to get off him but you felt his hand grasp yours under the table, halting your movements.

"Amenadiel, brother, what brings you here?" Lucifer cocked his head to the side.

"I see you still have them around." He jutted his head at your direction and you scoffed.

"We really need to stop meeting in Lux like this, Amenadiel." You huff and tried to move again, but the squeeze of Lucifer's hand stopped you again.

"Join us for drinks, Amenadiel. Or just to simply get to know my friends."

"...Fine." You were surprised at his agreement. Lucifer finally let your hand go and you sat up straight, scooting over a bit so the Devil could move over as well. Amenadiel sat down rather stiffly, his back straight and his shoulder back.

"I am honestly surprised you are joining us. Do you want a drink?" Lucifer asked eyebrows raised in surprise as his sipped his drink.

"No, I do not want a drink." Amenadiel sighed and looked to you. "I have heard you protected Lucifer in this club while in the presenceof Chloe."

"Yep, took a bullet for him right over there." You pointed across the club, barely able to see the table Chloe and the others were at through all the people. "Did my blood stain your floors Lucifer?"

"Hardly." Lucifer chuckled.

"I just wanted to say thank you for protecting him like that. He and I may have our differences but I do still care for him." You supressed your laugh when Lucifer turned his head towards you to silently fake gag. "I also apologize for my rude behavior beforehand. My confusion around your...friend inside of you-" Lucifer and Eddie cut him off with loud laughs, which the angel promptly shut them up with a pointed look. "-had me act poorly."

"Thanks, Amenadiel. I appreciate the apology." You said a little slowly, wrapping your head around the situation.

"Glad you do because I don't think I could kick his ass for you, he is built strong." Eddie leaned close to whisper slurred words in your ear but didn't realize he wasn't whispering at all, making you wince. You raised a brow at him and noticed his grin and his glazed eyes, and then noticed his now empty glass of his 5th drink? You weren't sure how many he had at this point but you could tell he was drunk now.

"That is great and all, but who are you and what have you done to my brother? The Amenadiel I know would not apologize." Lucifer leaned in close.

Amenadiel rolled his eyes. "I have been doing a lot of thinking-"

"Unlikely."

"Lucifer." Amenadiel glared at him. "I have been doing a lot of thinking and have been trying to figure myself out. Trying to figure out who I am and who I am meant to be. Last night, I thought about the things I have said and done since you came to Earth, and I feel like I must make things right here. I felt that one of those things is an apology to (Y/N)."

Lucifer leaned back in the seat and squinted at his brother, but said nothing. You felt your phone buzz once again and quickly look under the table.

'That wasza lot of deep sht fo me to hear bestieeeeee' Eddie's text read.

'Did you really just call me bestie lmao?'

'Its what the peoples are calling eachother thesde3 daya.'

You sigh and try not to laugh, putting your phone away. You look back at Luci and his brother, conversing in a serious matter then back to your inebriated friend.

"Are you going to finish that?" He pointed to your third unfinished drink, which had a little more than half in the glass.

"Yes, Eddie." You move the glass out of reach and finish off the rest of the beverage.

"Yeah! That's my bestie!" Eddie whooped and cheered, bringing the attention back on you both.

"Didn't we agree you would not get drunk?" Lucifer tuts, taking the glass from your hand.

"Yes, but Eddie is wasted and has a bad habit of finishing off my drinks when I'm not looking."

"Am not and do not." He pouts.

"I'll be fine. The last drink had little to no alcohol content in it, and that will be my last drink for tonight."

"Alright, but I swear to my father if you both are too drunk to handle-"

----------

Maybe downing that last drink all in one go like that wasn't the brightest idea, but at least you could walk, talk, and think straight unlike Eddie, who Amenadiel was carrying like a bride back to your apartment. There came a point were Eddie felt like he was falling asleep and you felt like the club was too warm, too loud, and too crowded. So you decided it was time you two left for the night. Given that you, Eddie, and Venom were under the influence the angelic duo decided to get you both safely home.

The cool night air felt nice on your face and thankfully the sidewalks were mostly clear. You walked along side Lucifer on his left, while Amenadiel holding Eddie were to his right. You were humming some random song you heard in the club while Luci and Amenadiel teased each other.

Focusing a little too much on their jokes and not on walking, you stumbled over your own foot. Lucifer quickly wrapped an arm around you to stop you from falling (which you already stopped yourself from doing), causing the three of you to stop walking, and he let out a 'tch.'

"Relax, I just stumbled a bit I wasn't going to fall." You roll your eyes push away from him. "Honestly, I am fine. Yeah I am drunk but I am not like Eddie."

"Shut up!" You heard him yell at the sound of his name. You glanced over and saw that he had raised his head to shout then drop it against Amenadiel's shoulder, who didn't look all too amused.

"Still..." Lucifer seemed at a loss for words for a moment. He shoved his hand suitjacket's pocket and bent out his elbow. You stared at him and he rolled his eyes. "Hold onto my arm so you keep your balance. You've been swaying since we crossed the last crosswalk."

"Have not..." You grumbled to yourself but tentatively wrapped your arm around his. You three started walking again. You yawned and started thinking back to the club and how Lucifer kept you from moving off him. You wanted to ask him right there and then, but figured it would be best to save that conversation for when Eddie and Amenadiel weren't present. Instead, you hummed one your favorite songs and let Lucifer help you walk home. Another yawn passed by your lips and you couldn't help but lean your head against his arm again.

Lucifer kept his face neutral and resisted the temptation to stare at you as thee Eddie Brock and his brother were right next to him. He couldn't ignore the heat blooming in his cheeks and ears, but he could ignore you as you climged to him (he really couldn't) and that seemed like his best option. He heard his brother clear his throat next to him, catching his attention.

Amenadiel, not speaking, gave him a downward smile with his dark brows raised as he glanced to you and back to Lucifer.

Lucifer, also not speaking, looked at him with furrowed brows and his nose scrunched up.

Amenadiel, still silent, had a knowing look and nodded his head with a small grin before looking forwards.

Lucifer, also still silent, rolled his eyes and put his attention forward as well, stealing small glances at you.

You all arrive at your apartment in no time. You let go of Lucifer's arm when you and your little group reached your door and unlocked it successfully. You opened the door and allowed Amenadiel in first so he can get Eddie out of his arms. Lucifer followed in after him and you came in last to close the door.

"Just lay him on the couch. I can take care of him from here." You sigh and set your keys down. "Thank you guys for helping, you really didn't have to."

"It wasn't a problem." Amenadiel gave you a genuine, small smile after he placed Eddie on the couch. "Let me give you my number in case you ever need help or a break from him." He gestured to his brother.

"Oh uh, sure." You get your phone out and start putting in your pass code, missing the cheeky grin Amenadiel gave to a scowling Devil. When you looked back up to hand the angel your phone, both had neutral expressions. Weird. Amenadiel typed in his number and then sent himself a text from your phone.

Lucifer opened his mouth to speak but Eddie making noises cut him off. The three of you look and see him struggling to take his shoes off. You roll your eyes and sigh.

"You guys should get going. I'm going to help him get his shoes off and then probably crash in my bed. Thank you again."

"Of course, darling. It was nothing. See you tomorrow." Lucifer smiled and placed a hand on Amenadiel's shoulder before they teleported away. You blink and then locked your door before turning to Eddie with your hands on your hips.

"What am I to do with you Eds?"

--------

Arriving back at his penthouse with his brother in tow, Lucifer immediately went to his bar. He poured himself a glass of brandy. Taking a sip, his eyes bore into his brother's figure, his finger tapping the glass.

"Were you trying to make a move on (Y/N)?" He asked in an unusually serious tone.

"No, Luci. I was just trying to get on your nerves." Amenadiel chuckled and sat across from his brother in one of the barstools. "Glad to see it worked."

"It did not." The Devil annunciated his words and took another sip. "Well? Is there anything you need since you are still lingering around?"

"Lucifer..." Amenadiel's face shifted to a serious expression. "You have been away from hell-"

"I do not need this talk again."

"No. Listen." The angel ordered. "One of your demons went rogue and is Los Angeles."

"What?" Lucifer faltered. "When? How do you know?"

Before Amenadiel could reply the elevator door dinged and Mazikeen walked in.

"Did he tell you?" She had a wild look on her face and the two noticed one of her demon blades in her hand. "Zezroth is in LA. I don't know how but I bumped into him while looking for a bounty and I could just tell."

"I then ran into her right before I went to Lux." Amenadiel confirmed. "I didn't bring it up because I didn't know how much (Y/N)'s friend knew."

"Zezroth is the worst." Mazikeen seethed. "He never liked me. He always talked shit about Lucifer and not in the friend and brother kind of way."

"This is just great. On top of violent serial killer coming after (Y/N) and I, Zezroth is also here doing Father knows what." Lucifer groaned and poured himself another drink. He just hoped it was a demon wanting a joy ride in the human world and not anything serious.

Change

I was on my usual drive back home, leaving the somber skies of Northern California for the golden ones of Southern California. It all became familiar to me, coasting through the endless fields of agriculture, mountains, trees, and even a city nicknamed the Garlic Capital of the World. People often asked how I managed to survive “such a long drive” with hardly any stops. While I never quite had a definitive answer, it’s probably because I never perceived it to be as dreadful as they did. I always associated the drive with a journey inside my mind with my thoughts mimicking the twists and turns of the road.

I guess that was all too vulnerable for those who were curious about my grand tours through Central California. I assumed it was their way of avoiding those conversations with themselves. For myself on the other hand, it was a chance to engage in the activities I enjoyed the most which are listening to music, looking at breathtaking scenery, and thinking/dramatically philosophizing. I would’ve liked to add writing to that list but unfortunately, my car can’t drive itself.

With every excursion, I learned something new; whether it was about myself, or where a hazardous pothole was placed to dodge it the next time around.

Once, I stopped to admire the otherworldly view of a hill in a small city named Hollister. (And before we go any further… no, it does not have any association with the retail clothing brand or any of its aesthetics. Although, that would’ve made for an interesting come-up story. I digress.) From the countless times I drove through this city, I always thought it appeared to be the most captivating during springtime…more specifically in March. So naturally I, being the scenic lover I am, discovered a small road off Pacheco Pass Highway and Interstate 156, to get a closer look at all its serenity. It was lively, like nothing I had ever seen. The grass was so vibrant, almost as if it had been genetically modified with an extra dose of chlorophyll and artificially enhanced by a shower of some harmonious shade of green.

I wasn’t sure what made the view so alluring. Maybe it was the way the blue sky effortlessly contrasted with the green grass. Or perhaps it was a hopeful childlike lens that overpowered my vision. Whatever it was, something in me had shifted.

To be completely transparent, at the time I was in a state of confusion— looking for answers to questions I had never asked. Everything I felt was foreign to me and for the first time in my life, I didn’t know how to navigate those suffocating emotions. I was in a Fog of Lost Souls. As I sulked in that moment, I realized how fortunate I was to have the beauty of simplicity right in front of me. It reminded me that some of our most profound and meaningful experiences come from the simplest things. From that point on, I decided to apply that philosophy to my life.

Nine months had passed since I last visited that isolated piece of Heaven on Earth and so much had changed. The trees were withered, the blades of grass now brown and brittle, and the sky mirrored those muted tones. It was all too symbolic to ignore, I had to stop and embrace it all once more. The crisp air and dull sky set the ambiance for a state of melancholic silence. I sat with this melancholy and revisited all the versions of myself who would be so proud of who/where I am today. The barrenness of this now unrecognizable scenery represented the death of a cycle… and more extremely the birth of a new version of me.

I am no longer a faceless soul in a foggy land. In the wise words of the Velvet Underground, I Found A Reason. I am now someone who is much more optimistic about the inevitable changes of every season. The landscape's annual transitions are a reflection of my evolution. I vow to carry that wisdom of destined transformation with me when the lush hues of springtime return, and forever ever after that.

[an-aura-about-you]

Long post is long, so I'll make a new one! Thank you @coolalicious for tagging me to do this!

Name(s) - Aura (to the point that if you see Aura in a handle somewhere else then it's probably me)

Pronouns - x/they/she in order of preference.

Star sign - on the Pisces side of the Aquarius/Pisces cusp

# of siblings & fun facts about them (if you have any) - I have one sibling who's younger than me by 1 1/2 years. fun fact: their favorite animal is the platypus!

# of pets & their names - I have one cat, a little black domestic shorthair kitty named Schroedinger.

Fandoms - Princess Tutu, The Magnus Archives, the Chzo Mythos, Homestar Runner, and pretty much anything else I've got on the backburner

Favorite color - puce

Favorite song - this is always one of the hardest questions because does this mean of all time? just right now? the one that I can listen to endlessly on repeat? the one that makes me go 110% feral? I think I'll answer based on vibes, and based on vibes my favorite song is Gymnopedie no. 1 by Erik Satie.

Favorite author (of anything readable-- books, fanfics, zines, webtoons, whatever!) - oh, this is another hard one. it is not at all helped by the fact that I've been going through the audiobook of Lightlark and thoroughly enjoying it for reasons the author never intended, which is the case when you pursue media with a So Bad It's Good mindset. but I might have to give an honorable mention to Alex Aster anyway for the sheer number of times I had to pause her audiobook because I was doubled over laughing at it. but for a more sincere answer, I will pick Mel Brooks, which almost feels like cheating, but his professional memoir All About Me! was such an enjoyable ride and had that same voice and beloved sense of humor he's honed in his movies. Mel Brooks is one of the few celebrities I've written a fan letter to, an actual physical fan letter written by hand, and he is well worth that effort.

Hobbies - cooking, writing, taking walks at the park, playing games with friends

Favorite fic type - you know how some fandoms have a very specific type of fic by the nature of canon? my favorite fic is a type specific to the fandom for The Magnus Archives related to the tropes of Loves My Alter Ego and Two Sided Love Triangle. specifically, I love the premise Jonathan "Jon" Sims | The Archivist being a former member of real life band The Mechanisms (that real life Jonathan Sims was a member of) and hapless archival assistant Martin Blackwood being a fan of The Mechanisms, resulting in him being torn between his crush on his prickly boss and his crush on frontman Jonny d'Ville unaware that they are in fact the same person. my ideal version of this would be at a point where the crush is mutual and at first Jon uses his Jonny d'Ville persona to try acting as a wingman for Martin to get him with himself?? but then that kind of evolves into Martin dating Jonny while still being unaware it's Jon somehow. we're talking Rio Pacheco from Jem and the Holograms levels of unaware, which I will forgive Martin for because he's just so starstruck.

Favorite holiday - New Year's! I even made arrangements to take the whole week off so I can properly enjoy it. <3

Do you have any partner(s)? (romantic, qpp, anything!) - nope! I'm happily single and ready for some Pringles!

Fun facts about you / anything extra you wanna share! - so y'all know I love food and I like to cook, and I've mentioned before that I've been to culinary school, but I don't know how many of my current followers know that I actually went to Le Cordon Bleu for their baking and patisserie program and in fact graduated from there with honors. I earned my coveted blue cravat for doing so.

and I tag anyone who wants to do this!

Brazil government allocates BRL 514 million to tackle forest fires

On Wednesday (Sep. 18), the Brazilian government is starting to allocate an extraordinary credit of BRL 514 million to deal with forest fires and other effects of the drought spreading across the country. These funds are part of the special budget for tackling climate change, authorized by the Supreme Court.

The announcement was made by the president’s Chief of Staff Rui Costa and Minister for the Environment and Climate Change Marina Silva, accompanied by President Lula, Supreme Court Chief Justice Luís Roberto Barroso, head of the Senate Rodrigo Pacheco, and lower house speaker Arthur Lira during a meeting on Tuesday (17) to discuss strategies to combat wildfires.

According to the chief of staff’s office, part of the funds will be allocated to the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change to reinforce monitoring and combating fires. With the extra money, the environmental institutes will be able to hire firefighters and rent vehicles and aircraft, for instance.

The Federal Police and the National Public Security Force are also being given extra resources to reinforce investigations and the repression of environmental crime. The money will also be distributed to the Armed Forces for support operations to extinguish the flames. Another portion will be earmarked for the purchase of food for families in the North, affected by the low water levels.
