I’m thinking about UPG as a concept due to the project I’ve fallen head first into

I looked up the definition and it’s very… academic? Like it feels to me like upg is a term holding us back from writing and sharing new stories (which is terrible in my spirituality since telling stories is how we keep gods alive.)

It’s probably the want to only reconstruct and not add to the faith after the fact that holds the community to upg instead of tagging something as original content, as well as the ardent hatred some people feel about the idea of treating faith as a fandom in which you engage spiritually.

I used to be in the camp that cared only for the ancient sources and regarded the idea of Marvel Loki being a deity with scorn but like… the dionysia was a theatre festival and competition and yet we take primary sources from there; is that not the same? The Oresteia, Medea, Oedipus Rex, all of those very famous and well known myths were preformed at the dionysia festival (Medea didn't even win.)

On a separate note; isn’t “marvel loki” a kind of epithet?

“1000 Gange” (Fluff)

MM!Michelangelo x reader

A/N: I’ve been feeling for a songfic for some time, and I finally got the inspiration I needed to do it.

Song: “1000 Gange” by Caroline Henderson.

It is a Danish song from a Danish Christmas calendar, but I’ve always loved the song, and it gives me more lovey vibes instead of Christmas, lol. English translations are provided🧡

Warnings: Nothing, just cuteness and a pretty adorable song. Absolute teenage fluff stuff🧡

1000 gange har vi stået, op og ned ad gader gået, kysset på hinanden i vinden / Før du skulle hjem / Mmmh / Før du skulle hjem.

(1000 times have we stood, up and down streets walked, kissed each other in the wind / Before you had to go home / Mmmh / Before you had to go home).

There was almost something magical about having a boyfriend like Michelangelo. Well, other than the fact that he was a mutant turtle, but his personality. He was always so happy, always finding something exciting to do. Rarely you and him had any plans on date nights. You would just meet each other, either outside of your apartment building, or by the man cover closest to his sewer home. And from there the plans and ideas for the evening would be flowing, often leading to you and him running up and down the streets of New York City, before finding a secret place where you would be alone.

In the cold night air you would hold each other close, either somewhere in the park, at the top of some random building or down by the water, and talk about whatever was on your mind, with small kisses peppered in between every single topic. You would stay with each other for as long as possible, before the two would have to make the journey home. Though Mikey’s father had become more accepting of humans, he still didn’t like his sons to stay out for too long, which meant that Mikey did have a pretty strict curfew to follow. And though the two of you dreaded whenever you would have to call the end of the date, it did not stop from talking about the next.

1000 gange har du lagt din hånd ind på mit maveskind og varmet dine hænder i mørket / Når du var kold / Ahh / Når du var kold.

(1000 times have you put your hand in on my stomach skin and warmed your hands in the dark / When you’ve been cold / Ahh / When you’ve been cold).

The last few moments of your date would often consist of you and Mikey sitting or laying close, enjoying the warmth of each other’s company, mumbling sweet nothings as you watched the few stars that was visible in the sky above. During especially cold months, Mikey did like to put a cold hand under your shirt, feeling the warm skin of your stomach. This would make you yelp and pull away with a smile, your laughter loud, sounding beautiful in Mikey’s ears. But every time you would wrap your arms around him, pulling him closer so that you could keep each other warm for the night.

1000 gange har du sagt, du elsker mig, men ikke nu i nat / 1000 gange har du sagt, du elsker mig, men ikke nu i nat / For du skal hjem / Mmmh, du skal hjem.

(1000 times have you said, you love me, but not tonight / 1000 times have you said, you love me, but not tonight / Because you have to go home / Mmmh, you have to go home).

There was one evening where you and Mikey had been too caught up in each other’s company to notice the time. It was during December, where the snow was covering Central Park, and the two of you had decided on a last minute snow fight. In your thick jackets and beanies covering your heads, the two of you had been running around, threatening the loser with kisses and banter.

In the middle of your loud laughter, Mikey felt his phone vibrate in the pocket of his orange winter jacket. After throwing his snowball he pulled his phone out, just to make sure it wasn’t anything important. But when he saw the name of his father at the top of the message, along with the time of night, he was horrified.

“Dad’s freaking out!”, Mikey told you, looking at his phone. “I was supposed to be home half an hour ago!”

“Oh no!”, you exclaimed, knowing very well how Splinter could get when he was worried. “You better hurry home!”

“But I usually walk you home-”, Mikey was about to protest, but you cut him off.

“Not tonight. You have to get home”.

Mikey knew that you were right, and that it was not worth starting up a discussion about it. Instead he put his phone back into his pocket and pulled you in for a quick kiss.

“Text me when you get home”, he said, still not walking away.

“I will”, you smiled. “Now, go! Before your dad sends the whole sewer out after you”.

And with a quick second kiss, your boyfriend was running, his feet quickly carrying him to the nearest manhole.

1000 gange har vi siddet i de bløde sæder, i det bagefterste af biografen / Og holdt i hånden / Hmm / Og holdt i hånden.

(1000 times have we been sitting in soft seats, in the back of the cinema / And held hands / Hmm / And held hands).

Not all of you and Mikey’s dates have been outdoors. As time processed, you and Mikey started to expand your dates from sudden ideas on strolls, to actually make plans. One of those plans being going to the cinema together. That had been a great experience for the both of you, so you had decided to do it more and more often. Watching anything from comedy, action to horror. Anything that gave you and Mikey the excuse to hold hands while taking in your favorite form of entertainment.

1000 gange har vi drukket te, og stenet fjernsyn, i den sofa, som du har derhjemme / Og det var dejligt / Mmmh, det var rart.

(1000 times have we been drinking tea and stoned television, on the couch you have at home / And it was lovely / Mmmh, it was nice).

But constant cinema going can become expensive, which led you to the next best thing - watching movies at home. Normally you would do that at Mikey’s place, where the two of you would take up the whole couch in the middle of the lair, and watch movies from him and his brothers’ large collection.

You would usually do it so late that Mikey’s mutant family would have gotten to bed, leaving you and your boyfriend with the living area to yourselves. However, before going to bed, Splinter would usually take the time to make both of you tea, before leaving the two of you alone for the night. So with your legs tangled together, and two cups of hot tea, you and Mikey would have all the whole night to yourselves.

1000 gange har du sagt, du elsker mig, men ikke nu i nat / 1000 gange har du sagt, du elsker mig, men ikke nu i nat / For du skal hjem.

(1000 times have you said, you love me, but not tonight / 1000 times have you said, you love me, but not tonight / Because you have to go home).

But there had been times where you would have to watch movies at your place. Either because one of Mikey’s brothers or extended family members had to use the television that night, or because the two of you just needed a small break from them. Your parents had nothing against it, letting Mikey into either home with open arms. Though they did not make you tea, it wasn’t uncommon for them to leave you some sort of snacks for the movie.

First time you had Mikey over for movies, neither you nor him had thought about asking your parents for permission to let him spend the night. Not that your parents would have anything against it, but Splinter did not like sudden last minute changes like that, fearing the worst. Still a bad habit from the days he and the turtles used to hide away from the surface.

So when it began getting late, and you fell asleep against Mikey with the movie still running, he didn’t have it in him to wake you up before he left. He waited until the last minute, not wanting to leave you, before finally getting up. He turned off the television and made sure you were tugged in, before sending you a message you could read when you finally woke up. He then pressed a kiss to your forehead, before making his way home.

When you then woke up many hours later, you were confused until you found Mikey text, reading it with a bright smile;

“Good morning, Sleeping Beauty!💕🌹 Sorry I just left without saying anything. I just couldn’t bring myself to wake you up. Anyway, I love you, and I hope you’ve been sleeping well😍💕 Call me when you’re up😘”

And with a smile still plastered across your face, you called him while getting up from the couch.

Vi kunne få det så fedt, men det bliver til for lidt / Det er ikke særlig smart, du skal altid hjem, når vi har det rart / Når vi har det rart / Der er meget mere vi kunne dele, vi kunne dele det hele / Har du forstået, så snart du er gået, så mangler jeg noget? / Jeg savner dig.

(We could have it so cool, but it becomes too little / It’s not very smart, that you always have to go home, when we feel good / When we feel good / There’s so much we could share, we could share it all / Have you understood, as soon as you’re gone, I’m missing something? / I miss you).

To say that you and Mikey wished that you could have more time together, was an understatement. When you for some reason couldn’t spend time together, you would text each other all the time with sweet words and hearts. Even during school, you would do whatever you could to eat lunch together, spend time alone during breaks, or send each other sweet glances in the library, even texting each other in class when you hoped that the teacher wasn’t looking.

Though you and Mikey may be young, you couldn’t help but dream of the future together. A future where you could spend all your time together, without worrying about curfew or annoying things alike. A time where you could hold each other close the whole night, without having to miss each other at all.

1000 gange har du sagt, du elsker mig, men ikke nu i nat / 1000 gange har du sagt, du elsker mig, men ikke nu i nat / 1000 gange har du sagt, du elsker mig, men ikke nu i nat / 1000 gange har du sagt, du elsker mig, men ikke nu i nat / For du skal hjem.

(1000 times have you said, you love me, but not tonight / 1000 times have you said, you love me, but not tonight / 1000 times have you said, you love me, but not tonight / 1000 times have you said, you love me, but not tonight / Because you have to go home).

But after a year, your luck would finally turn. Splinter, seeming to understand how you and Mikey wished to spend more time together, finally relented. His sons were teenagers, teenagers accepted by the human world above. And as teenagers they wanted to be with their friends or other loved ones, for longer than a clock would allow them to. And so Splinter finally decided to get rid of the curfew during weekends, letting his sons stay out for pretty much as long as they wanted to, on the condition that they texted him, letting him know wherever they went. Unless it was a school night! Then they had to be home at the set time!

Even this was seen as an absolute win for the boys, and each of them decided to celebrate it in their own ways, going out with their own friends that evening. Mikey decided to celebrate it with you, finally spending a full night at your place. From Friday to Saturday he spends the night, with the two of you sleeping soundly in each other’s arms. And never would there come another night, where you couldn’t tell that you loved each other.

[kemetic-dreams]

Kandake, kadake or kentake (Meroitic: 𐦲𐦷𐦲𐦡 kdke), often Latinised as Candace (Ancient Greek: Κανδάκη, Kandakē), was the Meroitic term for the sister of the king of Kush who, due to the matrilineal succession, would bear the next heir, making her a queen mother.

Pliny writes that the "Queen of the Ethiopians" bore the title Candace, and indicates that the Ethiopians had conquered ancient Syria and the Mediterranean.

In 25 BC the Kush kandake Amanirenas, as reported by Strabo, attacked the city of Syene, today's Aswan, in territory of the Roman Empire; Emperor Augustus destroyed the city of Napata in retaliation.

Cassius Dio wrote that Kandake's army advanced as far as the Elephantine in Egypt, but Petronius defeated them and took Napata, their capital, and other cities.

Four African queens were known to the Greco-Roman world as the "Candaces": Amanishakheto, Amanirenas, Nawidemak, and Malegereabar

Biblical usage

The Baptism of Queen Candace's Eunuch (c. 1625–30, attributed to Hendrick van Balen and Jan Brueghel the Younger)

In the New Testament, a treasury official of "Candace, queen of the Ethiopians", returning from a trip to Jerusalem, met with Philip the Evangelist:

Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." This is a desert place. And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship

He discussed with Philip the meaning of a perplexing passage from the Book of Isaiah. Philip explained the scripture to him and he was promptly baptised in some nearby water. The eunuch 'went on his way, rejoicing', and presumably therefore reported back on his conversion to the Kandake

Evidence outside of Nubia that shows additional links to Kushite's queenship concept are found in Ethiopia. Ethiopia has a long dynastic history claimed to be over three millennia from before 1000 BC to 1973, the year of the overthrow of the last Menelik emperor, Haile Selassie. The Ethiopian monarchy's official chronicle of dynastic succession descends from Menelik I includes six regnant queens referred to as Kandake. The following queens from the king list have "Kandake" added to their name:

Nicauta Kandake (r. 740–730 BCE)

Nikawla Kandake II (r. 342–332 BCE)

Akawsis Kandake III (r. 325–315 BCE)

Nikosis Kandake IV (r. 242–232 BCE)

Nicotnis Kandake V (r. 35–25 BCE)

Garsemot Kandake VI (r. 40–50 CE) – Allegedly the queen who ruled at the time of the Biblical story of the Ethiopian eunuch.

Twenty-one queens are recorded as sole regent in the kingdom of Ethiopia until the 9th century CE. The conquest of Meroe by the Axumite King Ezana may well provide the historical fiction for the Ethiopian dynastic claim to the Nubian Kandakes and their kings, as it was from this point onwards that the Axumites began calling themselves "Ethiopians", a Greco-Roman term previously used largely for the ancient Nubians. For example, Makeda, Queen of Sheba, in the Kebra Nagast, is also recognized as Candace or "Queen Mother".

Alexandrian legend

Jewellery of Kandake Amanishakheto, from her tomb

A legend in the Alexander romance claims that "Candace of Meroë" fought Alexander the Great. In fact, Alexander never attacked Nubia and never attempted to move further south than the oasis of Siwa in Egypt. The story is that when Alexander attempted to conquer her lands in 332 BC, she arranged her armies strategically to meet him and was present on a war elephant when he approached. Having assessed the strength of her armies, Alexander decided to withdraw from Nubia, heading to Egypt instead. Another story claims that Alexander and Candace had a romantic encounter.

These accounts originate from Alexander Romance by an unknown writer called Pseudo-Callisthenes, and the work is largely a fictionalized and grandiose account of Alexander's life. It is commonly quoted, but there seems to be no historical reference to this event from Alexander's time. The whole story of Alexander and Candace's encounter appears to be legendary.

John Malalas has mixed the Pseudo-Callisthenes material with other and wrote about the affair of Alexander with Kandake, adding that they got married. Malalas also wrote that Kandake was an Indian queen and Alexander met her during his Indian campaign

List of ruling kandakes

Pyramid of Amanitore in modern day Sudan

See also: List of monarchs of Kush

At least eleven kandakes also ruled in their own right as monarchs (i.e. queen regnants) of Kush:

Nahirqo (middle 2nd century BC)

An unknown queen regnant (end of the 2nd–first half of the 1st century BC)

Amanirenas (end of the 1st century BC–beginning of the 1st century AD)

Amanishakheto (early 1st century AD)

Shanakdakhete (first half of the 1st century AD)

Nawidemak (first half of the 1st century AD?)

Amanitore (middle 1st century AD)

Amanikhatashan (middle 2nd century AD?)

Amanikhalika (second half of the 2nd century AD)

Patrapeamani [de] (early 4th century)

Amanipilade (mid-4th century)

Based on the reading of a single inscription, some lists give two later kandakes named Maloqorebar (266–283 AD) and Lahideamani (306-314 AD). A recently discovered inscription corrects this earlier reading, however, showing that neither was a woman.

Archaeological sources

The Kandakes of Meroe were first described through the Greek geographer's Strabo account of the "one-eyed Candace" in 23 BCE in his encyclopedia Geographica. There are at least ten regnant Meroitic queens during the 500 years between 260 BCE and 320 CE, and at least six during the 140 periods between 60 BC and 80 AD. The iconographic portrayal of the Meroitic queens depicts them as women often alone and at the forefront of their stelae and sculptures and shown in regal women's clothing. Early depictions of Kushite queens typically do not have Egyptian elements making their appearance drastically different from their Kushite men and Egyptian counterparts. As seen in the Dream Stela of Tanawetamani, a large shawl was wrapped around the body with an additionally decorated cloak worn over the first; typically, a small tab-like element hanging below the hem touches the ground and has been interpreted as a little tail. The first association with this element of dress is with Tarharqo's mother during his coronation ceremony.  

It was not until George Reisner excavated the royal cemeteries at El Kurru and Nuri that archaeological material became available to study the Kushite queenship. Additionally, a few royal tombs of Kushite women have been found at Meroe's cemetery and in Egypt at Abydos (Leahy 1994). At El Kurru, six pyramids belong to royal women of the 25th Dynasty and a pyramid for queen Qalhata of the Napatan period. At Nuri, the tombs of royal women are located on the west plateau with more inscriptional information available at the site, linking the roles that the kings' mothers played in succession and their importance during the Kushite dynasty.

The most important event that Kushite women participated in was kingship's ensured continuity, where royal women were mentioned and represented in the royal ceremony. The lunettes of the stelae of Tanawetamani, Harsiyotef, and Nastasen all provide iconographic and textual evidence of these kings' enthronement. In all of these stelae, the king is accompanied by a female member of his family, mother, and wife. The king's mother played an essential role in the legitimacy of her son as the king; textual evidence from Taharqo's coronation stelae represents inscriptional evidence suggesting that the king's mother traveled to her son's coronation. During the Kushite 25th Dynasty, the office that is known as God's Wife of Amun was established. The royal women in this role acted as the primary contact with the Kushite god Amun. They played a decisive role in the king's accession to the throne.

Bas-reliefs dated to about 170 B.C. reveal the kentake Shanakdakheto, dressed in armor and wielding a spear in battle. She did not rule as queen regent or queen mother, but as a fully independent ruler. Her husband was her consort. In bas-reliefs found in the ruins of building projects she commissioned, Shanakdakheto is portrayed both alone as well as with her husband and son, who would inherit the throne by her death.

I'm tired of watching creators get stepped on (with a clarified statement regarding the forum poster)

I don't frequent this forum - I went here to investigate pirating. Several people have insisted that the person going by the COG founder's name is not actually him, so here's my updated post. I retract that it's Dan but not what else I said. I still stand by what I said.

Hi, it's me, your friendly Vi with something on my mind. Unfollow if you will but I gotta speak my mind on behalf of the authors who spend countless hours creating the games that bring you joy. Sure, I've been away from Tumblr so I'm probably late to this but oh well. Still decided to post this.

I moved my game to Twine in August because I don't want to be associated with Choice of Games (COG). Here's a great example of why...

People in a forum asking for and sharing pirated content from indie creators' Patreons.

The author saw it and responded:

[ID: A snippet of what the text reads. Please take this down. This is just...really not cool guys. My hands are trembling as I right this, because I'm both hurt and stunned that someone would take *everything* from my Patreon and post it. If you ever want - redacted game name - to get finished, then try not to do things that will cause me to have a breakdown. Please. /ID]

Here's the response from someone going by COG's founder's name (per screenshots below - apparently it's not him but I do wonder why he lets someone use his name or isn't aware?):

I know this image is small, so here's what it reads:

"Let me tell you something, those who haven't subscribed to your patreon isn't magically gonna subscribe if they don't get stories elsewhere, and those who have already did that means they care about you and I'm pretty damn sure they aren't gonna unsubscribe anytime soon. If something anything changes due to the leaks then it's your popularity, readers are gonna be more interested in your titles and perhaps once they have enough money then they can even subscribe and donate that money to you, right now many members of this forum don't have enough resources to purchase things online such as patreon subscription, hence they had to rely on leaks to sate their excitement of reading the stories. Do think about it, from their perspective and if you can then try to make old stories and demo available for public this way they may not needs to rely on leaks and will read from official source.

Sincerely, Dan Fabulich"

What I said originally when I thought it was Dan: The guy is probably a millionaire (or, at the very least, well off compared to most indie creators) and he has the nerve to create an entitled response like this to an INDIE AUTHOR who uses choicescript.... wow. To an author who yes, has a pretty good following but is spending 1000s of hours creating for the enjoyment of others.

New statement: It's still fucking the way this person is speaking to an indie author. Still seems odd to allow a forum to use your name (and also basically insinuate it is supported by your company)...I would certainly be angry. But then again, I'm not rich and living off indie authors' work.

He (still) has more money than most of us indie authors ever have in his pocket from creating a company that pays pennies to the writers who make it money. People who just rely on passion to create these stories. Even if you make money on Patreon, most people cannot be sustained full-time. Most of the pirated content is not from bigger authors (but some is).

You dropped the notebook you held in your hand. One of the disadvantages of your powers was that you couldn't control when you were going to have a vision.

You weren't going to let Steve make a mistake, and you weren't going to give Ross the nod either. Of course, there was another way, one they evidently hadn't thought of.

In fact, no one knew that man was going, apart from Tony, and you had never trusted him. Of course, you had seen a lot of things.

Having visions meant that you were not always going to heed them all, as it was very easy to change the course of what would happen; however, sometimes it gave some advantages.

"Do you know what it comes to?" Steve asked you, and you were just about to inform him when Vision told them.

"To something that won't suit us," you answered dryly.

Steve signaled to Wanda and Vision to continue, but he stopped you. "What exactly do you mean? "he questioned, mortified.

"Well... it has to do with the Sentinels and all that stuff I lived on the run from for a long time," you said, looking him in the eye.

Steve nodded; he understood, but that didn't mean he was going to let it happen.

Sitting there while that horrible man told lies was one of the hardest things you had ever done in your life.

Not to mention the pressure they wanted to put on you afterwards to sign the Accords.

"I have to save Bucky," Steve told you after the discussion you had with Stark.

"I know, and you also know that I can help you," you replied.

"I don't want you to be in danger...

"You know I'm not going to sign them," you interrupted him.

"I know, but I need you to be safe. I'll get you... as soon as I can. You know they'll be looking for me.

"Uh, the right Captain America is going to break the rules," you scoffed.

"Y/N," Steve scolded you.

"Don't worry about me, Steve; I'll be fine; you know I have my contacts." You smiled; you knew what was going to happen, but you wouldn't let it.

You had your own plan, and this was where you would cause the future to be different. In your vision, you had gone with Steve to rescue Bucky and ended up fighting Stark and the others at an airport.

Now you would go ask the mutants you knew for help. Erg could help you escape; he knew everything to do with the subway, while John could warn you in case they were chasing you, and as an additional plan, Clarice could give you a way out through a portal.

You hadn't said anything to Steve either; you knew he didn't want anyone else involved, but you weren't going to let the Accords ruin their lives either.

Getting the help of the other mutants was easy; you simply had to tell them what was going on and show them the Accords document that Ross had given them.

No mutant was going to sign the Accords, so you told them your plan, and they all agreed to help you. Esme had even told you of a place they could not enter if you were chased and would shelter you.

You saw the old factory; you had to get them out of there. Bucky in a few minutes was going to wake up.

"Who's in there?" Sam asked.

You grimaced; Steve wasn't supposed to involve any more people, but there was Sam, who was supposed to have nothing to do with it and should be out of danger.

"Y/N? I told you to take shelter. Steve scolded you as soon as he saw you, and Sam was perplexed.

"Why are you still here?"

"Because I care about you, you asshole."

"I don't want to put you in danger."

"You won't.   I have old friends, so Steve, we have the plan to escape.

"We're going to be on the run," Sam said.

"We mutants know a place where the authority Ross has can't do anything; they'll take us there." I talked to my contacts, and it's all arranged.

"Did you know what was going to happen and not tell me?"

"If I told you, you would surely do everything to make it happen; I got a way out; don't worry, Lorna and Marcos will take care of getting Wanda and Clint to safety... "

"How do you know...?"

"Steve, I know a lot of things—more than you think." We have to hurry; they will be waiting for us at the airport, but they will be bored, and by the time they realize we won't arrive, it will be too late.

"Bucky... "

"You can come with us; they will help him there too."

"How do you know these people?" How do you know we can trust them? Sam questioned.

"It's a long, old story from when the Sentinel program was active."

"How much longer will we wait?" Rhodey complained.

"They should be here by now," Tony replied. He didn't know what he would tell Ross; no one knew where the others were.

The Year is 841 Of The Regis Weekend Calendar, (700 Regis Ass Weekend Calendar). Imperial Regis Weekend Space Cruisers are closing in on a RAW Rebel Ship that is headed towards a derelict satellite on the Planet REGIS. Nearly 1000 years has passed since the first Regis Weekend, when forces loyal to Regis launched a surprise attack against the United States government in all directions from their home base at the DoubleTree in Newark. New Jersey was the first to fall to Regis Weekend radicals, then following that, Regis's home borough of The Bronx, which was promptly turned into a holy site. In the year 50 B.R.W., the United States Government signed peace terms amounting to an unconditional surrender. All national iconography on currency, landmarks, and in government buildings were modified to be depictions of Regis in exchange for amnesty for former Government leaders. In a lavish ceremony at the National Mall, the Chairman of the Board of Regis was crowned Emperor of Regis II of Regis Weekend, and took a daughter of Regis to be his bride, thus establishing a chain of succession and enshrining his legitimacy in the new Empire. A series of quick but brutal wars followed as the remaining world governments either came to terms with the Regis Weekend Empire, or were annexed directly. Soon enough, the Flag of Regis Weekend flew in every world capitol, Earth's name was officially changed to "REGIS" and traditional greetings such as "Hello" and "Mahalo" were superseded by the Regis Weekend Motto: Honora Hominem (Honor The Man).

In the summer of 0 RW, Regis Weekend scientists finally perfected the Jeep Drive. A device that warps the gravitational field allowing for interstellar travel all in the comfort and style that the Jeep brand was known for. Emperor Regis III, having inherited his father's global empire, issued a decree declaring that Regis Philbin would be honored "Across The Universe, in every star system, every habitable planet, even the non-habitable planets, why not? That's showbiz baby!" And so it was. The Light of Regis Weekend spread throughout the known universe. Those Regis Weekend colonies, however, had little in the way of autonomy. Although they were full citizens of the Regis Weekend Empire, their diets, land vehicles, and methods of worship were all dictated from the Planet Regis. In the year 41 RW, Colonial Weekenders elected their own representatives to petition the Board of Regents. Their demands were simple: Allow for Regis Weekend Extensions to be more raucous. To translate Regis Weekend extensions into other languages, and allow for extensions greater than 24 hours in instances where the planetary night/day cycles were longer than on the home planet of Regis. Emperor Regis III was incensed by these demands, which he viewed as a challenge to his authority. It would seem as though Regis III, while he had the look and cadence of his grandfather Regis Philbin, lacked his compassion, understanding, and foresight that had inspired Regis Weekend in the first place. He ordered the petitioners to be seized and imprisoned on the Lunar DoubleTree, and ordered a dozen squadrons from the Regis Weekend Ministry of Public Consciousness to forcibly occupy the unruly colonies and snuff out any remaining opposition.

The next 100 years were ones of intense repression. Regis Weekend extensions remained in English (Lingua de Regis) and all public spaces were closely surveilled. Any citizen of Regis who failed to REACT to an extension was either deported to the Punishment Portal on Planet of RIPA VI, or summarily executed (easier). These authoritarian measures did nothing to quell the ongoing rebellions among the indigenous population. Instead the Colonial Weekenders built their own culture around the lost art of Regis Ass Weekend (or RAW) and began to circulate their own extensions among themselves. Emperor Regis IV, who again, looked and sounded like Regis but was exceptionally cold and cruel, banned RAW Worship throughout the Empire, viewing it as an existential threat to his stewardship of Regis Weekend. Having outsourced their repression to the Ministry of Public Consciousness, Regis IV and the nobility of Regi who supported believed their position to be secure. Regis Weekend, they thought, would surely be extended.

In the year 141 RW, a slave rebellion broke out on the Planet RIPA VI. Using techniques mastered from Regis's home workout series, the RAW prisoners overpowered their jailors, took control of the facility, and promptly hosted a daytime talk-show where they broadcasted their Regis Weekend hostages to the entire galaxy. This would serve as the first Regis Ass Weekend and mark the establishment of Year 0 in the Regis Ass Weekend calendar. As word spread across the galaxy, discontents from other Regis Weekend colonies Jeeped RIPA VI, whose formidable planetary defenses now worked against the Regis Weekend Empire. As more followers of RAW gathered, the new nation assumed that an invasion would be imminent, but strangely, an invasion never came.

The mass immigration from the Colonies had had a massive impact on the economy of the Planet Regis. Clam and Fruit cup prices reached hyperinflation levels, and Emperor Regis IV was served with discontent and rebellion on his formerly peaceful home planet. The Nobility of the Regi pled with the Cruel Emperor to come to terms with the RAW Rebels, and integrate RIPA VI back into the Empire. At his palace Newark, Emperor Regis is reported to have said, "Gee y'know fellas, I gotta feeling that you all are somehow involved with whole the rebel conspiracy thing, so as much as I hate ta do this, I'm going to have to have you tortured and imprisoned"

THUS kicked off a bloody Civil War that would last for the rest of Regis IV reign. While the Throne and the Nobility battled incessantly on Planet Regis, the RAW Inhabitants of RIPA VI turned towards nation building. The original RAW priests designed a system of government modeled off of the original Council of Regis, wherein the title of Supreme RAW Regis would be anointed not on the basis of hereditary lineage from Regis Philbin, but rather by electing a citizen who had an extraordinary level of affability, showmanship, and zip and zazzle that was characteristic of the original Regis. While the forces of Regis Weekend were at war with one another, the RAW Rebels were able to peacefully integrate outer colonies, and soon became an empire in their own right.

The Regis Weekend Civil War was finally ended in the year 203 RW, Emperor Regis V's ascent to the throne. Having made concessions to the Nobility of Regi in order to establish a lasting peace, Regis V the assembled the largest Space Armada in Regis Weekend history, vowing to destroy Regis Ass Weekend completely in a surprise attack. The RAW Army, however, had foreknowledge of this attack, having received word from a disaffected Regis Weekend noble who was resentful of the Regis Weekend Empire after he was denied a promotion in the Regis Weekend Civil Service. The Regis Weekend Armada was intercepted by the RAW Space Navy in the Clam Nebula. Commanding Regis Weekend Rear Admiral Regis Francis (a nephew of Emperor Regis IV who had received his post through nepotism) refused to adjust his battle tactics and promptly lost 90% of his attacking force with an estimated 100,000,000 casualties. Jubilant in their success, the Forces of RAW sought to seize their momentum and regain control of their ancestral home of REGIS from the Regis Weekend Empire.

Unfortunately, their victory in the Battle of The Clam was short lived, for when they arrived on Planet Regis they were repeatedly bombarded by a brand new weapon newly created by the Empire. Under the order of Emperor Regis V, Regis Weekend Scientists were able to modify the Jeep Drive by switching the gears from Drive to Reverse, creating a strong gravitational field that disoriented and then nearly annihilated the RAW. Planet Regis was safe, and hopes for a swift and painless war were abandoned.

Low-level conflict would continue throughout the Galaxy for the next several centuries, with notable battles in the Kathy Lee II Star System, The Battle of the Vierra Star System, and several battles on planets that were Volcano, Ice, and Ocean themed. It was during this period, in the year 680 Regis Ass Weekend Year that our Hero was born. A talented pilot of unknown parentage, this spunky individual born in the ghetto of Space Bronx on RIPA IV, our Hero (who would later attain the title of Supreme Regis, but that's a tale for another day). With encouragement from his elderly mentor (who was a former Regis Weekend General who had defected to Regis Ass Weekend during the brutal reign of Emperor Regis IX, this was something that he had kept secret from his mentee due to his shame for having committed war crimes) our hero joined the RAW Fleet, and was in fact author of the daring plan to infiltrate the orbit of the Planet Regis. Before leaving on his fateful mission, his elderly mentor gave him a necklace of a Nude Thanos. "This belonged to your father," his mentor explained, "and he would want him to have it." Our hero then asked his elderly mentor if he had known his father and the elderly mentor demurred. "Hey if this is for good luck," our hero said, "I'm sure I'm gonna need it because wowie! Those Imperial Regis Weekend forces don't mess around I tell ya."

The Plan was as daring as it was simple. At the heart of the conflict between the forces of Regis Weekend and Regis Ass Weekend was a theological divide. Centuries had passed and no one could prove whether not it was Regis Weekend or Regis Ass Weekend that had been extended for 24 hours from October 26th 2023, to October 27th, 2023. "If we can access an old data satellite", our young hero explained to a cadre of older and more senior RAW generals, who on some level resented his rise through the military ranks despite his prodigious talent, "then we can beam the Regis Ass Weekend Extension to the entire galaxy so they rise up against the Empire!"

Upon arriving in orbit of the planet REGIS, our hero kissed his nude Thanos necklace given to him by his elderly mentor and prayed to Regis. Whether by skill, luck, or divine intervention by Regis Philbin himself, the RAW ship was able to pass by the Imperial Cruisers unnoticed. Upon entering the ship the hero noticed, surprisingly, that the vid-console was still in working order. Using the password given to him by his elderly mentor ("REGISPW1!"), the vid-console powered up with a prerecorded voice message from the original Regis.

"Hey folks, this is Regis Philbin here coming to you live from the grave. I'm happy to inform you that Regis ASS Weekend has been extended for the next 24 hours! From October 26th-27th. Isn't that something? I tell ya."

That message turned out to be the final nail in the coffin of Regis Weekend Empire. Though the stories of our Hero would continue to echo throughout the Galaxy, one thing was clear, Regis Ass Weekend had finally been extended.

What are some good ff in the yr fandom that are written in swedish?

Hi and sorry for taking so long to answer! This is just a small selection of my personal favorites but if you want more you can check out literally anything by these authors, all their writing is A+!

"Vi skulle klara vad som helst, vi skulle aldrig säga nej" by ageminiheart: Fairy tale-esque AU where Simon is the son of a hairdresser and has to step in for his mum when she gets injured. He meets the very rude prince Wilhelm and slowly a very forbidden romance begins to form. This is like one of my absolute favourite fics like ever, I adore everything about it, from the language to the pacing and the characterization. 1000/10.

"Kvarteret Vallgossen" by harosia: Modern day AU where Wille and Simon are neighbors in a student dorm building. One day Simon gets asked to dog sit Wille's puppy and from there their relationship sets off. This one is so sweet and fluffy and makes you feel literally all the feels. Also 1000/10.

"går du trägen, på den vägen, som är smal men uppåt bär" by graveyardorgarden: AU where Simon and Wille meet at a folkhögskola (kind of like community college?) where they're both studying church music. Wille plays the organ, Simon wants to lead choir. This one isn't finished yet and hasn't been updated in quite a while but I'd recommend it anyway because the way it's written is so heartachingly sad and relatable and just really beautiful.

"Sikta mot stjärnorna" by SilvaGrey: Post-S1 from Linda's POV. The Eriksson's home is vandalized which launches a police investigation.

"Svart hål" by @hanna-kin : Post-S1. Wille has kind of the worst Christmas break possible. Very angsty but in the very best way, I adore this one and the way it's written!

"Din tid kommer" by @eypril-eypril: AU where future Simon and Wille find their way back to each other following the release of a Swedish version of "The Crown". The feelings portrayed in this one is just fantastic as well as the attention to detail. So well-written and definitely another one of my all time faves!

I could probably list like at least 10 more that would make my 'favourite fics-list' but they'd all be by these same authors so just check out all their other stuff if you want more!

okay kuro hsr timeline ,, , finally finished

𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄: hamasaki kuro , just kuro please. 𝐀𝐆𝐄: well over 1000 , his exact age isn't known. he's legit forgotten it. 𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐒: favored of the plagues author , cat guy ( express crew ) , killjoy , emanator of yaoshi , more to come i'm sure... 𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐇: abundance ( previous, or so he says ), the hunt ( galaxy ranger ) 𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐓𝐘𝐏𝐄: quantum. ( i like the idea that his kit is all about multiple attacks on a single target within a short span of time? i.e you want his speed, and crit to be a huge priority. break fits into it too ofc, but that's a given i think. his ulti is likely a multi hit similar to ach/eron, but like visually? mimi is the one doing the attack in the animation. HAHA! cat has a big GUN! ).

✧ born in ???? to two lovely people, with two brothers, and a sister. his world for the most part worshipped yao/shi, and the abundance. and kuro would grow up to do much the same. the world was diverse as far as climate, with a consistent four season year. and was actually known for the shimmering aroura rains that took place during spring, and the ethereal blooms in the particular region where kuro was born.

✧ a stell/aron crisis would begin to kill the planet when kuro was a young adult. and the speed at which this happened was quite startling. wildlife changed with the sudden shift in climate; putting people in danger. the weather grew harsh, intense. climate change essentially causing the world to kill itself.

✧ kuro becomes an emanator of yao/shi at the last possible moment. which did end up saving his planet. idk if people realize honestly just how powerful emanators are. tho the recent content with ach/eron definitely gave us more insight. kuro was powerful enough to essentially revive his planet. people had died, there wasn't anything to be done to bring them back. but the planet itself is now a bountiful and horrifying tribute to the power of yao/shi & the concept of deathlessness.

✧ important to note: despite not being an emanator anymore, kuro is still very much so immortal. this is something he struggles with immensely. feeding into his guilt, and self loathing. he has yet to suffer the effects of mara, unsure why, he's too afraid to ask or try to figure out why. expecting it'll come eventually ...

✧ he leaves home after this to follow his path, to carry out his aeon's will. this is kuro's deranged devotion to god arc. he was quite frankly, scary. he has a run in at some point with the xian/zhou as well,,, which does now play out well for them. wasn't his intention to run into them either. legit just trying to spread the abundance, and the xian/zhou got in the way.

✧ it's after this entire ordeal that kuro really grasps how... deeply twisted and cruel his aeon's agenda is. he begins to question his path, his choices. and as far as anyone else known- this is where kuro, the emanator of yao/shi... vanishes.

✧ kuro meets mimi a few years before he joins the express crew. which happens between the nameless' birth-- and the trip to jarlio VI. he also meets ar/genti at some point between meeting mimi and joining the express.

✧ he doesn't really help with jarlio VI stuff, but him and mimi do explore the planet some while they're there. seemingly unbothered by how frigid it is.

✧ travels with the crew wherever they wish to go. eventually leading him to the luo/fu... much to his apparent discomfort. kuro insists he should remain with pompom to keep them company. meaning he's not there for the majority of the luo/fu arc. though upon being discovered, he is brought in for questioning, and is nearly put in the shackling prison. if not for mimi using her genius, and maybe some force ( a lot of force )- to help him escape in a very death defying fashion.

✧ does some wandering. cuts all communication with the main crew.

✧ meets boot/hill during this time. silly guy, kuro thinks he's funny.

✧ finds some kind of direction for the sake of his closest companion mimi. a member of a nearly extinct feline alien species, who wishes for the upheaval of the IPC for the destruction of her homeworld. kuro becomes a galaxy ranger, and finds a new path! the hunt. an irony, he knows, but it's cathartic for him in a way.

✧ pops up on pena/cony, but not until much later in the story. him and mimi go there to retrieve some materials, and information on the IPC. but get caught up a bit in the drama that was 2.2. offering to help, and sort of reconnecting with the express crew after his absence for so long. this is of course, considering that you as the player take time to do all side quests before this,,, bonus content ect ect.

✧ kuro from this point on kind of follows mimi's direction? she wants to rebuild her home, or at least find a way to create a new one. while also doing everything in her power to make things as difficult for the IPC as possible. again, kuro is the ranger but mimi is the mastermind. she's a cat, basically, there is only so much she can do. i like to think of rocket raccoon as a bit of an inspiration here. they're not evil, but kuro's bias for his best friend... means he's as chaotic and violent as she needs him to be, to get what she wants. their shared goal is his main priority!

✧ more to come as the story plays out !!! feel free to ask other stuff though, i love talking about kuro and mimi i will literally never shut up.

Notes on Granada's Sherlock Holmes: the last vampire

This will be a tough one to follow for me! I barely remember anything about the story, except that it had something to do with blood, that a woman was wrongly and for rather racist reasons accused and that instead a young boy turned out to be the attempted murderer

Someone is burned alive in the opening scene? What? I don't remember this

"I'll stop if you let me kiss you". Wait. Isn't this her actual stepson? *a few minutes further* ok, that is not the mother, so not her stepson. Still very creepy behaviour from this boy. This comes a bit too close for comfort to me personally. People very rarely talk about it, but children can be the perpertators of sexual violence sometimes, as was the case for me

Ok, the next scene cheers me up. Laughing so hard about Holmes dressing up as a vampire and scaring the hell out of Watson

Why is everyone so scared of that grave looking man dressed in black? Don't understand that yet

Holmes, highly randomly: "This cup and saucers has been here for three days" he's so ADHD

Holmes: "Everything is better than this stagnation" *flops dramatically down in a chair* *assumes even more dramatic pose*

Poor Watson, he just wants some tea while Holmes is infodumping

Seems like Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke had the time of their lives acting this whole vampire scene, I love them so much

Holmes: "The world is big enough for us, no ghosts need apply" Ah, I remember that quote!

Why am I not convinced by Holmes' reason for being in possesion of vampire teeth? Never heard Holmes say 'uhm' so much *mind goes wild with possibilities* I really want to know that the team's thoughts were! Watson: "Did you put them to use?" Almost convinced Watson discovers he has a vampire kink here

Client: "Thank you young man, I'm not quite in my grave yet" Haha, love a fiesty old man

I adore Brett and Hardwicke exchanging glances and trying not to laugh as the forgetful client rambles on

Ah, there's the first death. Looks quite dramatic with all the blood! And oh, that stranger really had bad timing. And he's a descendant of a hated, cruel landowner who the villagers burned alive. Plenty of reason I guess for the villagers to be suspicious

So the baby died as well (they made this so much darker). Holmes and Watson go to the village to investigate and keep the village calm. Good concept, actually. Great expantion upon the canon story

Village life has changed so little over a hunderd years that I forgot for a while that this movie takes place in the victorian age, lol, until Watson named all the young influenza victims. Yeah, that was a thing back then. Not entirely related, but I wonder now how long it took before child deaths in villages really started to go down. The installing of sewers and clean drinking water supply made a huge difference here... but I wouldn't be surprised if it took a long time before all villages had the same fascilities as the cities. Anyway, as tragic as it always has been (and I read a lot of proza and poetry written by grieving parents), a baby's death still was nothing out of the ordinary around 1900. According to this graph on child mortality, 228 out of a 1000 children died before they were five years old in the UK in 1900. (compared to 4 in 2020. That's an astonishing difference)

Ohh, bats living in the countryside with lots of old buildings, suspicious!

The writer is very relatable. I, too, have a tendency to horrify the fellow people at my table with marcabre history and uncomfortable questions

Love the way Holmes enages the whole fucking pub. Loudy: "Surely there is no crime in this part of the country!" *dead silence*

The influenza epidemic running in the background really adds to the panicked atmoshere, that was a clever choice

What was that sudden hallucination (??) at the ruin? *some time later* Oh, all right. Glad they went with actual optical effects this time

I love the scenes where we get to see Watson in his role as a doctor, visiting patients - calm, caring, competent. Such a wonderful exploration of that side of his character

Oh, the writer himself is dead now too? That was quite sudden and unexpected. Damn. I liked him. He was creepy but in a good way. Third death and counting, because of course it's not over now

I hate how realistic this whole panicked reaction of the village feels. People see causal relations where they don't exist and do wild, irrational things when they're scared, we've all seen it over the years. I can easily see a group of conspiracy theorists digging up a just burried man in the dead of night and moving him

I like how it's not necessary the Peruian artifacs and beliefs that are portrayed as in themselves creepy, but what they become in the hands of two white people. I think you can certainly argue it's a portrayal of cultural appropriation

The finale felt a bit rushed compared to the middle part. Still satisfying, but why kill the boy off? (at least I assume he's dead). I would have loved to see closure in the village, especially for the parents because holy shit they lost both their children, and a bit more reflection from Holmes and Watson

I really loved this episode, it was so well done and may become one of my favs. Nice build up, delightful characters, a good balance of fun and eerie things. The only thing I can find fault with is that the timing was just a bit off, the middle part a bit to long and the ending a bit too short. Classic period horror movie meets detective story
