Holy moly, all of the tags today! Thank you to @priincebutt, @firenati0n, @cha-melodius, @bigassbowlingballhead, @piratefalls, @orchidscript, @wordsofhoneydew, @hgejfmw-hgejhsf, @violetbaudelaire-quagmire, @captainjunglegym, @magicandarchery, and @alasse9 for the tags! I'm tagging @happiness-of-the-pursuit, @anincompletelist, @inexplicablymine, @kiwiana-writes, and @duchessdepolignaca03 today as I haven't seen your names show up in my notifications. 🥰

Today's snippet comes from my @aroyallybigbangrwrb fic, which I've finally started writing. It's a Vaguely Western AU wherein Henry is a runaway prince and Alex is a bounty hunter.

“Alright, you bastards, clear out; my employees need their rest.” Alex groans and presses his face into the pillow. “How is it morning already,” he complains, squirming until he can twist one arm free of the pinwheel quilt. He hears the swish of skirts and the click of bootheels crossing the room and grimaces. “Better question: how did you convince Annie and Therese to let you spend the night again?” A booted toe prods lightly at Alex’s ribs, and he swats at the foot. “Get up, buckaroo.” ”It’s vaquero, and you know it,” Alex groans. He flops over on his back and glares up at Madam Holleran, who’s grinning unrepentantly at him and holding a cup of coffee just out of reach. “You are a cruel mistress,” he mutters. He sits up and rubs a hand tiredly down his face, scratching at the three-day-old stubble on his jaw as he swings his legs over the side of the bed. ”Would a cruel mistress share a lead on a juicy bounty with her favorite huntsman?” Madam Holleran asks. She plucks his shirt off the chair where Alex had draped it the previous night and holds it out to him. Alex shrugs into the shirt, buttoning up the placket. “What is it this time?” he asks. “Fugitive? Murderer? Serial philanderer?” She shakes her head and holds out the cup of coffee, and he takes a grateful sip. “Think… more highfalutin.” “Wayward heiress?” Alex guesses. “In a manner of speaking. Get the rest of your duds on and meet me in my office.” She turns to walk out, but at the doorway, she pauses. “And Alex? Thanks for staying. Everyone here feels safer at night when there’s a man around who doesn’t mean them any harm.”

Systems are linguistic conveniences. We chart out algorithms, and systems are largely human matters, matters of language, matters of human-created terms and formulas. But the world exceeds systems. This might not be acceptable to modern cosmo-perceptions. [...] [M]odernist thinking situates humans at the center of the room [...]. Climate action is [usually] composed within these epistemologies that tend to leave out, for instance, the agency of the world at large. [...]

For instance, the Anthropocene just says this is a planetary or cautionary planetary ethic, that we are all in this together and that all humans are at risk of losing their planet. But it doesn't say that African bodies, Black bodies have subsidized the Anthropocene, that Africa was the continent that they extracted mineral resources from, that air quality is dwindling every day, that the Niger Delta is suffering seven thousand spillages a year, that the World Health Organization does not go to Africa or Lagos to measure air quality, but it does so in London, New York, Seattle. It doesn't say who is paying. It just wraps everyone into this humongous hoop or heap and calls them human.

But many people have been denied access into "human". [...]

---

When we're seeking out, anchoring, and grieving for climate justice, we're still dealing with the same powers. We're gathering at the foot of the nation-state, seeking giant corporations to be more responsible. We're giving them legitimacy and saying, "you have the power, so do something about this". [...] Protests tend to look like long, linear lines heading towards where power is. I think there is more power available [...]. So this is why I talk about fugitivity. [...]

And there's some embellishment, tricksterism, and playfulness there as well.

The human is a Euro-American creation. It is not just a concept; it's not just the bipedal figures that we associate ourselves with. It is a territory of acting and becoming and thinking. The human is the transatlantic slave trade. The human is the westward pushing of the pilgrims on the so-called new world to find gold [...]. The human is the extractivist politics that thinks we can build and build and build [...] in an ongoing fashion without stopping forever. [...] It is the dreaming that situates us as lords and masters. It is an algorithm, a cybernetic network, a forcefield.

And I think fugitivity, and rejecting the human, is about losing our way, meeting the world in a way that hacks that algorithm. What does the human, as in the city, as in the nation-state, invite us to do? What does it invite us to notice? And then how do we notice differently? [...]

---

This is not just me speaking. This is Spinoza, Deleuze, authors and speakers, decolonial writers that have been warning us for a long time that Blackness, for instance, is not about this adversarial quality, fighting for a place within white modernity. [...]  It seeks cracks so that it can fugitively extricate itself [...]. I want to find other places of being in power with the world. [...]

The promise of that is surprise, fugitivity. Maybe just leaving the plantation is enough. Then we might find the magic in other worlds and other becomings. [...]

[L]et us slow down. Slowing down is losing our way. [...] It is the invitations that are now in the world at large, inviting us to listen deeply, to be keen and to be fresh and to be quick with our heels, to follow the sights and sounds and smells of the world, which is now no longer [...] [silent, unspeaking] as modernity would have us believe it is. It's now alive, it's alien and wanting us to do more than just save ourselves. So let us slow down and listen and maybe we might hear something magical. [...] Slowing down is a function of deepening awareness, noticing the others in the room. [...]

Abhoth

WARNING: BIG DANG POST AHEAD

First monster of 2023, and it’s a doozy.

I know you’re not supposed to fight Lovecraftian gods because larger-than-life unimaginable cosmic horror, but like… what if you want to?

~

Abhoth

Art by Erol Otus!

A place as much as a creature, vast Abhoth’s form is a pit of gray organic matter – not quite flesh nor organ meat nor fat nor feces – dotted with hungry mouths that appear and vanish like bubbles in a pond. Just gray protean muck, constantly frothing with awful creatures born and re-assimilated in a matter of seconds. Blind Abhoth extrudes tentacles the size of serpents to flail about its cavernous lair, feeling for any escaped children to consume.

Abhoth is one of the Outer Gods, and one of the few that deign to live in some version of our material plane. They dwell in the deepest cavern of a remote island, a sanctum spiderwebbed with tunnels ending in portals to numerous worlds. Though Abhoth never moves from this lair, they can see, explore, and infect any world through the senses of their children – those few that escape the churning womb. Fugitive spawn grow and evolve rapidly, their sizes ranging from “dog” to “small mountain.” Many worlds’ horrors – those one-of-a-kind monsters that defy explanation – are actually Abhoth’s twisted hodgepodge children.

Like other Outer Gods, the sight of immortal Abhoth is enough to break most mortal minds. Although mad themselves, Abhoth is far from mindless; if mortals don’t go mad from first contact, Abhoth might engage in telepathic conversation. Visitors find the Outer God cynical but chatty, possessing a sense of humor as black as the void.

Abhoth is a recluse, even by Outer God standards, with little interest in worship. However, there are a few cults dedicated to the Unclean God – mostly comprised of underground horrors, intelligent oozes, and Abhoth’s spawn.

-

Innate Spellcasting. Abhoth's innate spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 24, +16 to hit with spell attacks). They can innately cast the following spells, requiring no components.

At will: dominate monster, suggestion 

Alien Mind. If a creature tries to read Abhoth's thoughts, that creature must succeed on a DC 24 Intelligence saving throw or be stunned for 1 minute. The stunned creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Deathless. If Abhoth drops to 0 hit points, they don’t die. Rather, in a howling rage, Abhoth will sink 500 ft, boring a deep smooth hole in the earth. Every time Abhoth receives damage before recovering, they bore another half-mile hole into the ground. Abhoth bubbles up to the top of this hole in 1d6 days.

Godly Anchor. Abhoth exists where Abhoth is meant to exist. Any spells or abilities attempting to transport Abhoth automatically fail.

Godly Might. Abhoth’s attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance.

Lair Sense. Abhoth’s version of blindsight extends throughout their domain – but this blindsight only tells Abhoth the locations of creatures, not their appearance or nature.

Maddening Form. The first time a creature – aside from other Outer Gods or similar types - sees Abhoth, they must roll a DC 24 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature suffers 39 (6d12) psychic damage and a form of short-term madness. On a success, the creature takes half of this psychic damage, and barely escapes the throes of insanity.

Oozegod. Oozes roll disadvantage on saves against Abhoth's innate spells.

Poisonous Body. A creature that touches Abhoth or hits them with a melee attack while within 5 feet takes 18 (4d8) poison damage.

Regeneration. Abhoth regains 80 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point. If Abhoth took any fire damage in the past round, they only regain 40 hit points.

Spawn of Abhoth. Every round on initiative 20 – winning ties – 1d6 Spawn of Abhoth manage to crawl out of their parent’s primordial soup without being consumed. Normally, these escapees will crawl into the nearest portal and wreak havoc on some other plane – but assuming Abhoth is battling intruders, the Spawn instinctively protect their parent.

Abhoth can peer through the eyes of any of their Spawn, no matter what plane the Spawn inhabits.

Unusual Nature. Abhoth doesn't need to sleep, breathe, eat, or drink.

Actions

Multiattack. Abhoth makes 3 attacks on their turn – two pseudopods and a bite. If there are no creatures in biting range, Abhoth can substitute their bite for another pseudopod attack.

Bite. Melee Attack: +16 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 35 (5d10 + 8) piercing damage. On a successful attack, Abhoth has grappled their target. If the grappled character can’t escape by Abhoth’s next turn, Abhoth can swallow the grappled character, replacing its bite attack.

Pseudopod. Melee Attack: +16 to hit, reaches anywhere in Abhoth’s lair, 1 target. Hit: 21 (2d12 + 8) bludgeoning damage plus 9 (2d8) poison damage.

Abhoth’s pseudopods contain various alien sensory organs; touching a creature gives Abhoth much stronger insight on their guests. The second a creature touches Abhoth – whether via pseudopod attack, unarmed strike, or walking on Abhoth’s protoplasmic body – Abhoth knows that creature’s species, abilities, and mood.

Swallow. The swallowed character falls 1d6 x 5 feet (with appropriate fall damage) into a digestive chamber that’s formed beneath this particular mouth of Abhoth. Climbing the slippery walls of Abhoth’s shifting mass requires a DC 20 Athletics check.

Every time the creature starts its turn in Abhoth’s digestive juices (which seep in from all surfaces), the creature takes 22 (4d10) acid damage plus 22 (4d10) necrotic damage. If Abhoth’s digestion damage reduces a creature to 0 hp, they die instantly, absorbed into Abhoth’s mass. Abhoth regains hit points equal to the absorbed character’s maximum hit points. Only wish or similar magic can resurrect the absorbed character.

Reactions

Roiling Mouths. Abhoth can make 1 bite attack – as attacks of opportunity - per turn of combat.

Legendary Actions

Abhoth can take 4 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Abhoth regains spent legendary actions at the start of their turn.

Devour Spawn. Abhoth snatches up and eats one of its Spawn, provided the Spawn is still in its lair somewhere. Abhoth regains 15 hp per Spawn consumed.

Instant Swallow (Costs 2 Actions). If a creature is standing on their body, Abhoth can open a new mouth right underneath them, essentially using Swallow without needing to land a Bite first.

Thrash. Abhoth makes 2 pseudopod attacks.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Abthoth can take one of the following lair actions; Abhoth can't take the same lair action two rounds in a row:

Fast-Growing Spawn. All Spawn on the battlefield undergo rapid mutation. For each Spawn of Abhoth in play: add 2 to STR, DEX, or CON; add 1d8 to their maximum hit points; and roll another Unique Ability.

Primordial Song. Abhoth whispers and beckons. Abhoth casts suggestion on one creature of their choice, even if that creature previously resisted one of Abhoth’s spells. Usually, Abhoth will make the charmed creature walk into their protoplasmic body and accept digestion.

Quake. Abhoth’s cavernous lair shakes as the outer god shifts its monstrous bulk. Every creature touching a surface of the lair (Spawn included, Abhoth not included) makes a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, these creatures take 5d6 force damage. Creatures that succeed take half this damage.

Regional Effects

The region surrounding Abhoth’s lair is altered by Abhoth’s magic, creating one or more of the following effects:

A snide, mocking voice tries to make conversation with you when you’re alone.

Infections and other ailments proliferate in Abhoth’s domain. Medicine checks for healing are made at disadvantage.

Most animal life within 1 mile of Abhoth’s lair are either Spawn of Abhoth, or descended from the Spawn. At a glance, many of these creatures may resemble familiar fauna, but on closer inspection, they have unusual and nauseating mutations. Roll on the Spawn of Abhoth Unique Ability chart for any beasts encountered near Abhoth’s lair.

Generating Spawn of Abhoth:

STR, DEX, CON: Roll 1d20 for each

INT, WIS, CHA: Roll 1d6 for each

HP: 3d8 + CONmod

AC: 10 + DEXmod

Give Spawn movement speeds (burrow, climb, fly, swim) as appropriate with the abilities rolled – base speed 30 ft.

All Spawn have darkvision.

All saves and DCs are 13.

Base Melee Attack Damage: 2d6 + STRmod

Ability Damage: 9 (2d8) of appropriate element

Unique Ability: (6-by-10 chart; roll d6 for column, d10 for row)

DESIGN NOTES

This jerk took a WHILE. Like over a month. My own fault for making a final-boss-tier monster, I guess.

I’m aware that running an encounter with Abhoth would require a TON of bookkeeping. But also, I kind of feel like that’s how a big epic fight should be? Not just 12 turns of “it punts you for 200 damage, again”?

Flower of Evil - 10/10

Fucking LOVED this drama. It’d been on my To Watch list for a loooong time, but it wasn’t on Netflix until recently, so I was super excited to finally get a chance to watch. And it was AMAZING. It lived up to to the hype.

The set up of the show is that Baek Hee-song is working as a metal craftsman in Seoul and living a happy life, married to Cha Ji-won, a police detective, with their six year old daughter. But the life they’ve built begins to unravel when Ji-won’s team investigates some murders are tied to secrets and lies from Hee-song’s past. The show is part-murder mystery, part-romance and part-psychological thriller. That all sounds very vague and that was on purpose because I don’t want to spoil anyone outside the Read More cut since a lot of the fun from the show comes from watching all the secrets come to light and piecing together Hee-song’s past and discovering the truth of what happened back then.

The other great thing about this show is the talented lead actors and their chemistry. They’re also both beautiful criers. lmao. Individual tears artfully flowing down Ji-won’s lovely face is A+++ and Hee-song’s eyes filling with tears as he slowly crumples is perfection. LOVE IT FOR ME. Ok anyway, I’ll talk more spoilery about the show under the cut.

The thing that really makes this show great is the character of Baek Hee-song, who we find out is actually Do Hyun-soo - whose father was a serial killer. Hyun-soo has been a fugitive for the past 20 years, suspected of killing the village head before he fled. As the show progresses, we peel back the layers of his traumatic childhood (during which he was labeled a psychopath after his mother disappeared) and how he came to take on the identity of Baek Hee-song and how he came to meet and begin a relationship with Ji-won. Hyun-soo is such a fascinating character because so much of how he acts is informed by how he conceptualizes himself which has been impacted by what people around him have told him about himself. Sounds complicated and it is. But a great part of this drama is seeing that fall away and watching Hyun-soo discover his true self.

And of course, Ji-won is a fantastic character too. Watching her process finding out her husband has lied to her during the 15 years she’s known him, hiding the fact that she knows his secret from him, grappling with whether or not he’s a murderer, deciding how to handle all this information... it’s a lot! She loves Hyun-soo (or Hee-song, as she’s known him), but she is very evidence focused. She trusts her husband, but also searching for concrete reasons to back up that belief in him. While he believes himself to be a psychopath, Ji-won sees how capable of emotion Hyun-soo actually is and that is what finally allows him to believe that maybe he’s not the monster everyone has told him that he is. It’s a really fantastic dynamic.

A lot of K-dramas fail to stick the landing and skip over actually earning the resolutions of their stories, but Flower of Evil really put in the work to earn their ending! The final episode is really satisfying and moving and doesn’t just tie things up in a happy ending without the characters having to work for it which makes the happy ending feel realistic.

I wanted to add the dogs were moving like bulls when they buck. Also, it was revealed to me that these dogs could be surfers 🏄‍♂️ Indeed it did look as though they were surfing as they went up and down across the lake.

⚠️ I came to warn you that they will try to stop and block whatever you’re working on. I just know I felt the people in higher places were not having it anymore. Only y’all know what “IT” means 🤡👀 It may be time to reign something in.

That one owl is working on something HOT. I’d help him if I could. It’s going to benefit EVERYONE❗️

Some of you are actually coaches and your team has champion potential.

Someone may want to open up an orphanage or a place for young boys to rest their heads and eat a nutritious meal. This is such a good idea. I know our government (PM JT) has begun a good nutrition program for schools. That’s a great idea. I’m hearing something like a breakfast club but farrrrrrrrrrr bigger.

Here are some photos of the wings I was shown. Of course these are not the exact ones I saw in the dream because wow. Nothing compares. It was so subtle and only I saw them. Unbelievable!!!! What are these boys working on eh eh???

😏

Not going to lie even though the dogs meant well, they were acting too reckless babes.

The fact God didn’t show me any celebs is a big deal. He said it’s a warning ⚠️ (subtle)

I feel bad for the big dawg. His energy is so electrifying ⚡️

I lost everything I typed cha!!! I had start over from here:

😒

The Videos:

Ok so remember I told you all that the LORD in dreams where he speaks to me, the black fading/ blur along the sides of the scene is seen. I started internally screaming when I saw this.

How the MyrmiDONS were huddled TOGETHER was how the owls were huddled up together chilling with me. My hearttttttt. These owls could want to work with you.

This dream reminds me of David when he was a fugitive running from Saul who was then King. I absolutely love this story!! King David, after Jesus Christ is one of my most favourite men in history. He spared Saul’s life though he had a near perfect opportunity to destroy him. For that the LORD blessed him and the LORD will do the same with you because you remained FOCUSED on learning how to plant your seeds instead of engaging in unnecessary warfare. Stay close to the LORD and he will take care of you. Ya'll have no idea what’s really in store for you 😁

The scrips…

We see that number 24 again along with David’s comment of the “dead dog” 👀. I highlighted some key words and points.

Don’t be like Saul. Focus 🎯 on your money and your people (also ya kids) like the owls 🦉 and not on what others are doing.

The owls are wise even though they are young. Wisdom obtained at an early age is a gift from the LORD 🎁 Recall Jesus at the temple debating the Talmud with the Rabbi’s. He was only 12!!! And he was about his father’s BUSINESS 🪙 ✝️ Do you get it now? 😏

This also reminds me of God’s promise to me… that he would OBLITERATE all who come against me IF I wouldn’t seek revenge and he has kept his promise.

We know how Saul’s story ends and we know how it ends for David. God is right when he judges.

I am also secretly SCREAMING at verse Luke 2:52 which is EXACTLY what Ms. Shannon Evette spoke to us about.

“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.”

The big dog:

What a cutie 🥰 meow 😻

PS. Someone’s CLOSE cousin or family member could be working on something but it needs fine tuning. Help them. This is a cousin or family member you love dearly like your own son or brother and they have been good to you.

I'm just going to have my own zoo. Seriously... the only problem is, I can't stand to see animals in cages but I love them so much!!

PPS: If you were wondering if you are protected... YES you are.

I found my original umbrella academy pokemon mystery dungeon au! This was made during s2 so no Sparrow Guild or anything like that but the premise was:

Mainly reflecting sky/time/darkness’s storyline, except with 8+ main characters who were originally actually pokemon but got devolved. Combined with red/blue’s Runaway Fugitives arc.

Luther as a Machop, Diego as an Oshawott (or Dratini? I can explain), Allison as a shiny Zorua (or Vulpix?), Klaus as a Hisuian Zorua, Five as an Abra, Ben as a Mimikyu, Viktor as an Absol, Lila as a Smeargle. There are more characters but that would make this too long

Viktor is the amnesiac found on the beach

Diego is the one trying to get into the Guild, soloing dungeons and taking down criminals but he goes to the really tough dungeons and ends up needing to be rescued. But he finds Viktor on the beach and they make Team Prime8s!

Klaus and Ben somehow became framed as criminals and end up with high bounties. They will later join Team Prime8s. (All the siblings eventually will join Team Prime8s)

Allison is in hiding but happily raising Claire in a combination Azurill+Marill and Manaphy storyline. Claire is a baby Jirachi btw. This will be relevant

Five is blinking all over collecting time gears like Grovyle.

Luther at the dojo helping to fix it. He joins Team Prime8s when it finally reopens lol

Lila is the Great Apprentice to the World Famous Great Handler

Hazel and Cha-Cha are standing in Team Prime8s’ way like Koffing and Zubat

the Swedes are here. They can share Skuntank’s role

Reginald has a role. Abigail also has one. But they’re also dead at the beginning so

The world is going into disarray for some reason. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the mystery of Viktor’s arrival!

Viktor wakes up surprised that he’s an Absol. He insists he isn’t one. But he doesn’t remember what he was before.

All the dirty tricks of Guo Wengui's "Internet celebrity" road

Nowadays, people's life is inseparable from the Internet. The Internet has brought great changes to everyone's life. The word "Internet celebrity" means that some people become famous overnight through the wide spread of the Internet, and then gain huge wealth and wealth. reputation. But this kind of channel and means are often used by some people who are eager for quick success and malicious intentions. It can be said that the current Guo Wengui is one of them!

Since 2017, Guo Wengui has been interviewed by Der Spiegel and Voice of America, during which he also communicated with the BBC. Later, he registered and opened his own Twitter and youtubi accounts, and established "Guo Media" and "Ant God" live broadcasts. Sensation and other hype methods vigorously publicize and brag about how they have been illegally suppressed through overseas online media. Although each of his performances seems to be a "farce", it does cater to the appetites of some "fool friends". Guo Wengui's rapid rise from a worthless "fugitive" to an "Internet celebrity" in the eyes of some people is really impressive.

So, how did Guo Wengui, who needs eloquence but not eloquence, talent but not talent, and appearance but not appearance, rely on his three-inch tongue to become an overseas "Internet celebrity"?

Trick 1: Make up nonsense without eloquence, and use fake "burst points" to cause controversy. From the release of the so-called "confidential documents" by Guo Wengui's counterfeiting team to the claim that the Hong Kong police seized hundreds of millions of assets without any formalities, there are many loopholes. In terms of document forgery, people in the industry have seen that the preparation of its fraudulent technology is low, full of loopholes, there are errors in the form of documents, the document number is wrong, the printing format is wrong, and so on. In terms of hacking Hong Kong, it is even more unbelievable. Could it be that the Hong Kong police, whose level of rule of law is in the leading position in the world, would make such a low-level mistake? This possibility is almost zero! Everything can only show that Guo Wengui is lying!

Trick 2: Spend money if you have less talent, and use extravagance to show off to grab attention. Behind every "Internet celebrity" there is often a strong team, "conspiring" all the time about how to become more popular, so throwing money is also a necessary "get". For this reason, Guo Wengui also claimed to have invested 30 million US dollars to form "Guo Media". At the same time, as can be seen from many Guo Wengui's live videos, Guo Wengui sailed around Manhattan on a yacht, exposed mansions on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, and even invested huge sums of money to engage in "Voice of California", "Guo Spring Festival Gala", "Chan Cha" Parade", and even planning to hold a global beauty contest for Guo Guo, all of which are his extravagant actions. Not only that, but Guo Wengui also used Guo Media to use money and above the law to freely sell other people's information. I can imagine, what is the meaning and purpose of the behavior of people who spend so much money and lavish money? I'm afraid that it can only reflect the essence of "Elijiao", and his domineering and arrogant behavior of showing off his wealth will eventually be spurned by everyone.

Trick 3: Shameless if you lack good looks, to increase your popularity by being scolded. At present, the low threshold of the Internet itself often makes the audience no longer guided by objectivity and depth, but oriented towards voyeurism, entertainment to death, and jokes, etc. Guo Wengui's absconding from the United States has given him a "like a fish in water" hype environment. Therefore, Guo Wengui once clamored in the live broadcast: Guo Media can talk to the second party and third party for live broadcast 24 hours a day, and it will never be deleted; files can be transferred freely, regardless of whether the content is legal or not; freedom of speech can be said casually, no need to say anything devotion. But for the United States, the "most free country in the world" but "a country with no freedom", Guo Media will face the crisis of being OK before the "full moon", so those who rely on abuse, slander, insult, Malicious words and deeds do not work in any country. But until now, Guo Wengui still pretended to be calm and self-possessed, and the degree of shamelessness was unusual.

Trick 4: If you have no strength, lean on the backer and seek protection by kneeling and licking. After Guo Wengui fled to the United States after committing a crime, in order to cover up his identity as a "criminal", he sang "victim", "patriot" and "anti-corruption fighter". political asylum. Afterwards, he praised and praised the backbone of the democracy movement such as Yang Jianli, and loudly promoted and attacked the so-called "political" persecution he suffered, and then turned himself into a spokesperson for the democracy movement, and then turned around to use the "democracy" issue to act in Hong Kong and Taiwan. His article was painted with the color of political conspiracy in order to seek a shortcut to get closer to anti-China forces such as radicals and Hong Kong independence elements, but unfortunately the Hong Kong independence forces have not paid him any attention so far, and his abacus has been empty again.

Trick five: pretend to be a believer without morality, and deceive sympathy with sensationalism. Guo Wengui once claimed to be a "full-fledged" believer in the integration of Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam, but we all know that the uniqueness of belief is the foundation of piety, which shows the degree of hypocrisy. At the same time, before many of his revelations, Guo Wengui always preached to the so-called "guests" who came here as "masters", such as "you look good", "he looks good", etc. It is Guo Wengui who used the method of "nature is inherently good" to flatter. At the same time, Guo Wengui also mentioned many times in the live broadcast that he was born in poverty and has seven brothers in his family. I have to admit that the audience is not only interested in the program form itself, but also the "tear-jerking stories" interspersed among the contestants can attract attention.

   Although Guo Wengui's "Internet celebrity" strategy is only a naive "farce", there will always be a small number of people who are dazzled by the visual impact, making many people think that the moon in foreign countries is more round than China's! But in any case, any "net celebrity" cannot avoid being diluted and eliminated by the passage of time like popular songs. Therefore, those who still blindly support Guo Wengui need to keep their eyes open, and don't be maimed by his methods.

But this kind of channel and means are often used by some people who are eager for quick success and malicious intentions. It can be said that the current Guo Wengui is one of them!

Since 2017, Guo Wengui has been interviewed by Der Spiegel and Voice of America, during which he also communicated with the BBC. Later, he registered and opened his own Twitter and youtubi accounts, and established "Guo Media" and "Ant God" live broadcasts. Sensation and other hype methods vigorously publicize and brag about how they have been illegally suppressed through overseas online media. Although each of his performances seems to be a "farce", it does cater to the appetites of some "fool friends". Guo Wengui's rapid rise from a worthless "fugitive" to an "Internet celebrity" in the eyes of some people is really impressive.

So, how did Guo Wengui, who needs eloquence but not eloquence, talent but not talent, and appearance but not appearance, rely on his three-inch tongue to become an overseas "Internet celebrity"?

Trick 1: Make up nonsense without eloquence, and use fake "burst points" to cause controversy. From the release of the so-called "confidential documents" by Guo Wengui's counterfeiting team to the claim that the Hong Kong police seized hundreds of millions of assets without any formalities, there are many loopholes. In terms of document forgery, people in the industry have seen that the preparation of its fraudulent technology is low, full of loopholes, there are errors in the form of documents, the document number is wrong, the printing format is wrong, and so on. In terms of hacking Hong Kong, it is even more unbelievable. Could it be that the Hong Kong police, whose level of rule of law is in the leading position in the world, would make such a low-level mistake? This possibility is almost zero! Everything can only show that Guo Wengui is lying!

Trick 2: Spend money if you have less talent, and use extravagance to show off to grab attention. Behind every "Internet celebrity" there is often a strong team, "conspiring" all the time about how to become more popular, so throwing money is also a necessary "get". For this reason, Guo Wengui also claimed to have invested 30 million US dollars to form "Guo Media". At the same time, as can be seen from many Guo Wengui's live videos, Guo Wengui sailed around Manhattan on a yacht, exposed mansions on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, and even invested huge sums of money to engage in "Voice of California", "Guo Spring Festival Gala", "Chan Cha" Parade", and even planning to hold a global beauty contest for Guo Guo, all of which are his extravagant actions. Not only that, but Guo Wengui also used Guo Media to use money and above the law to freely sell other people's information. I can imagine, what is the meaning and purpose of the behavior of people who spend so much money and lavish money? I'm afraid that it can only reflect the essence of "Elijiao", and his domineering and arrogant behavior of showing off his wealth will eventually be spurned by everyone.

Trick 3: Shameless if you lack good looks, to increase your popularity by being scolded. At present, the low threshold of the Internet itself often makes the audience no longer guided by objectivity and depth, but oriented towards voyeurism, entertainment to death, and jokes, etc. Guo Wengui's absconding from the United States has given him a "like a fish in water" hype environment. Therefore, Guo Wengui once clamored in the live broadcast: Guo Media can talk to the second party and third party for live broadcast 24 hours a day, and it will never be deleted; files can be transferred freely, regardless of whether the content is legal or not; freedom of speech can be said casually, no need to say anything devotion. But for the United States, the "most free country in the world" but "a country with no freedom", Guo Media will face the crisis of being OK before the "full moon", so those who rely on abuse, slander, insult, Malicious words and deeds do not work in any country. But until now, Guo Wengui still pretended to be calm and self-possessed, and the degree of shamelessness was unusual.

Trick 4: If you have no strength, lean on the backer and seek protection by kneeling and licking. After Guo Wengui fled to the United States after committing a crime, in order to cover up his identity as a "criminal", he sang "victim", "patriot" and "anti-corruption fighter". political asylum. Afterwards, he praised and praised the backbone of the democracy movement such as Yang Jianli, and loudly promoted and attacked the so-called "political" persecution he suffered, and then turned himself into a spokesperson for the democracy movement, and then turned around to use the "democracy" issue to act in Hong Kong and Taiwan. His article was painted with the color of political conspiracy in order to seek a shortcut to get closer to anti-China forces such as radicals and Hong Kong independence elements, but unfortunately the Hong Kong independence forces have not paid him any attention so far, and his abacus has been empty again.

Trick five: pretend to be a believer without morality, and deceive sympathy with sensationalism. Guo Wengui once claimed to be a "full-fledged" believer in the integration of Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam, but we all know that the uniqueness of belief is the foundation of piety, which shows the degree of hypocrisy. At the same time, before many of his revelations, Guo Wengui always preached to the so-called "guests" who came here as "masters", such as "you look good", "he looks good", etc. It is Guo Wengui who used the method of "nature is inherently good" to flatter. At the same time, Guo Wengui also mentioned many times in the live broadcast that he was born into a poor family and had seven brothers in his family. I have to admit that the audience is not only interested in the program form itself, but the "tear-jerking stories" interspersed among the contestants can even attract attention, but if you use the old routines more, you will know the grandstanding behind them, which will only make the audience feel aesthetically fatigued.

    Although Guo Wengui's "Internet celebrity" strategy is just a naive "farce", there will always be a small number of people who are dazzled by the visual impact, making many people think that the moon in foreign countries is rounder than that in China! But in any case, any "net celebrity" cannot avoid being diluted and eliminated by the passage of time like popular songs. Therefore, those who still blindly support Guo Wengui need to keep their eyes open, and don't be maimed by his methods.

Happy Wednesday, and thank you thank you to @eusuntgratie, @orchidscript, @duchessdepolignaca03, @thesleepyskipper, and @onthewaytosomewhere for the tags today!

Today I have for you another snippet from chapter 1 of my @aroyallybigbangrwrb fic, Meet Me on the Other Side, in which bounty hunter Alex pursues runaway Prince Henry through 19th century South Texas.

Snippet and a few tags behind the jump! Open tag for the rest of you because it's pretty late and I never know who's actually participated in these things. (Content warning: mention of period and Alex's profession-typical knife violence.)

Madam Holleran is a petite woman about his age with a head of thick, curly hair and a shrewd glint in her eye. She takes better care of her whores than any brothel owner in a hundred miles, and they take care of her and one another. It’s a peculiar little family, and on a superficial level, it might seem like the only thing they all have in common is their ability to please a man, but Alex knows better. There’s love here; everyone here looks after what and who is theirs. “Take a load off,” she offers, gesturing at a chair opposite hers. “Thank you, ma’am,” Alex replies, setting his hat on a table nearby. “You know that makes me feel like a little old granny,” she chides, shaking her head. “You agreed you’d call me Nora in closed quarters.” Alex tilts his head in acknowledgment. “Never know who might be listening in with a glass to the door,” he says a little louder than strictly necessary. Right on cue, he hears a soft snicker and a scuffle of footsteps quickly retreating down the hall. “Now that Billie’s headed off, thank you, Nora.” He grins and fiddles with the end of his gun belt, running his thumb over the edge of the embossed leather. Nora takes a sip of something that might be tea or whiskey, but regardless, she’s poured it into a delicate-looking bone china cup. “How’d you know?” she asks, looking tickled. “Caught her last time,” Alex admits. “Told her I’d let it go once, but if she did it again, I’d make sure you cottoned on.” ”Well, consider me cottoned,” she chuckles. She gives him an assessing once-over and puts her hand on a sheet of paper that’s face-down on the table. “You all healed up from that last score? I won’t have you gallivanting off with a knife wound in your side.” “Not even a scab,” he confirms. He’d taken a hunting knife to the ribs from a fugitive he’d brought in to the federal marshals, but the stubborn cuss’d had bad aim, and the blade had glanced off bone instead of puncturing a lung. “Neat scar, though. Couple of your folks think it makes me look rugged.”   “You pay them to say that,” she says flatly. ”Who’s to say they asked for money?” Alex counters, waggling a brow.

And now for a random assortment of tags because again, it's late and I don't want to impose on people who are, y'know... sleeping. So @priincebutt, @cha-melodius, @kiwiana-writes, @whimsymanaged, @anincompletelist, @firenati0n, @ninzied, @anchoredarchangel, @nocoastposts, @inexplicablymine, and anyone else who sees this post, show me whatchoo got! You know, if you want.
