Humans are weird: Intervention

( Please come see me on my new patreon and support me for early access to stories and personal story requests :D https://www.patreon.com/NiqhtLord Every bit helps)    

*Door opens and human roommate enters*

Human: Hey guys, I got us some-

*Sees alien roommates sitting in a circle*

Human: What’s going on here? Did you find out what musical chairs is?

Alien Roommate 1: Take a seat buddy.

*Human sits down*

Alien Roommate 2: We just want you to know that everyone here loves you.

Human: Bit awkward since we’re just roommates, but okay.

AR1: We wanted to talk to you about your online gaming.

Human: What about it?

AR2: We think you should stop for a while; maybe find another hobby.

Human: Seriously?

Human: Why would I do that? I was on a winning streak last night.

AR1: We were both there and you were far from winning.

AR2: You were up till 3am shouting “ONE MORE GAME”.

Human: I may have had a bit of a losing streak, but it was only one night.

AR2: You’ve been doing that for the last three weeks.

Human: Really?

AR1: Really; and to be honest it is annoying as hell.

Human: Well why don’t you tell me something then and I’ll be quieter.

AR2: We tried that once and you through a can of green sludge at us.

Human: Green sludge?

AR1: I believe you called it “Gamer Fuel”.

Human: That doesn’t sound like me.

Human: I’d never waster my precious gamer fuel; it keeps me going.

AR2: With the listed chemicals in it it’ll keep you going right into the grave, but that’s beside the point.

AR1: When you start gaming you become an entirely different person.

AR2: You start babbling nonsense that our galactic translators are still unable to understand.

AR1: For instance, what the hell does “Blarg” mean?

Human: Depends on the context it is spoken in for it can be a noun, adjective, or verb depending on how it is used.

AR2: *sighs loudly*

AR2: We just need you to dial back the gaming time; it’s starting to affect our sleep cycle.

Human: I call bullshit on that; you guys sleep 18 hours a day.

AR1: And for seven of those hours we can’t sleep.

Human: Well you don’t hear me complaining about your weird habits.

AR2: We’re not here to talk about us; we’re here to talk about you.

AR1: Wait, what do you mean “Weird habits”?

Human: Seriously?

Human: I saw you eat a live goat for breakfast and listened to it scream as you snapped its neck.

AR2: The juiciest meat is in the neck meat so I don’t see a problem with that.

Human: You shed your skin everywhere and then eat it when stressed.

AR1: I heard humans also like to eat their problems away.

Human: I have yet to see a fellow human eat what was once their own foot because they gave the wrong answer to a jeopardy question.

AR2: I think we’re getting off topic here.

AR2: We need you just to ease off of the gaming for a while.

Human: And if I refuse?

AR1: We kick you out and find a human that is less vocal with their displeasure.

AR1: Probably someone who’s into plants and thinks they can talk back to you if you listen.

Human: Fine.

Human: I’ll ease off gaming late into the night.

AR2: That’s all we ask.

AR1: *Coughs*

AR1: That’s all you ask, but I would like you to stop throwing things at walls when you lose.

Human: I don’t do it that often.

AR1: I’m still fixing the hole you made from your last controller after a human child *pauses to remember correct wording* “ganked” you and told you to “git gud scrub.”

Human: *Angrily flips over chairs*

Genesis 38 - Tamar : It is a sin to deny people fair treatment & they are justified to find ways to get what they deserve

The story of Tamar interrupts the story of Joseph and his coat of many colors, which means it is often skipped over, in part to follow the story of Joseph and also because it is an uncomfortable story.

————————————————————

Judah has 3 sons. He arranges for his oldest son to marry a Canaanite woman named Tamar. His oldest son dies without Tamar having children.

As per their tradition of levirate marriages, the brother of a man who dies without children is permitted and encouraged to marry the widow and any children that comes from that marriage are considered to belong to the deceased brother. Judah assigns Tamar to be wife of his second son who is named Onan.

Onan has sex with Tamar but pulls out and spills his semen on the ground rather than possibly impregnate her. Why would he do this? Under their tradition of primogeniture, Judah’s wealth would be divided among his 3 sons, but with the oldest getting double what the others receive. This meant the oldest would inherit 1/2 of all Judah has, the two younger brothers would each get 1/4. With the oldest son dead, if Tamar has a son, he would inherit his father’s share. However, if Tamar doesn’t have a son, then Onan would move into the spot of the oldest son and inherit 2/3 of Judah’s wealth. 

Onan dies and Tamar still doesn’t have a child, so tradition would be for her to go to the final brother. Judah is worried that if Tamar marries his final son, then he will also die, perhaps Judah sees Tamar as the common denominator in the deaths of his two oldest sons. Judah tells Tamar to go back to her father's home and live as a widow.

Judah’s wife dies. The scriptures say he was comforted, I think this is meaning he did the requisite mourning period.

Tamar finds out it is time for Judah to shear his sheep, and she puts her plan into motion. The local fertility cult had women who had sex with worshipers as a way to ensure the land's fertility, and Tamar dressed like one of these women, which included wearing a veil to hide her face, then she waits along the road that leads to where Judah’s sheep are located. Judah, who hasn’t had sex since his wife died, sees Tamar and wants to have sex with her and in exchange offers to give her a young goat. He doesn’t have the young goat with him, so to assure that Judah will send the goat, Tamar asks that he leave his staff, seal, and cord.

Judah later sends one of his workers with the young goat, except he can’t find the woman in this consecrated role, and the villagers say there hasn’t been such a woman at the local shrine for some time. 

In 3 months, reports come to Judah that Tamar is pregnant from prostituting herself out for money. He is outraged and orders for her to be burned to death.

Tamar produces the staff, seal, and cord, and announces these belong to the man who impregnated her and asks if Judah recognizes who these belong to. Judah admits to what he did, and takes care of Tamar and the twins she is pregnant with, although he never sleeps with her again, so it sounds like he does not marry her.

————————————————————

This is a weird story. I have some observations.

Judah is pretty much a failure as patriarch of the tribe of Judah and this is really the story of how Tamar rescued this tribe and became the matriarch of the people of Judah. 

All the men in this family, by treating Tamar this way, risked the continuation of this family's line by putting in jeopardy the creation of the next generation. 

—————————

In their society, the value of a woman is her virginity and her ability to bear children, and she will be provided for by either her father or her husband.

Judah’s family has left her valueless. Tamar is no longer a maiden. Onan denied her the opportunity for children. After Onan's death, Judah denies her the opportunity to marry his youngest. They've put her in a precarious position.

—————————

In Genesis 37, the chapter preceding this story, Judah is the one who came up with the idea of selling Joseph into slavery and telling their father that Joseph is dead, causing their father immense grief. It feels a bit like karma that in this story Judah loses two of his sons and he experiences the same grief at losing them as his father.

—————————

Some Christians have used the story of Onan to argue that masturbation is sinful because it also results in spilling the man's seed on the ground, not in the vaginal canal. In other words, it's sex which can't result in pregnancy.

The scripture seems clear that the sin of Onan isn’t that his semen hit the ground, but that Onan refused to impregnate Tamar, which was his duty to his dead brother. Onan broke the contract to raise up children to his deceased brother. Onan used Tamar for his sexual pleasure and/or as a way to disgrace his dead brother. Blocking Tamar from having children would result in Onan receiving his brother’s inheritance for himself, essentially robbing Tamar.

It is strange to use this story to teach masturbation is a sin as there was no masturbation mentioned in the story. Masturbate to your heart’s content as long as it isn’t hurting anyone. 

—————————

When Tamar heard that Judah was going to shear his sheep, that seemed to convey important information, like shearing sheep isn't the only thing that happens at this time.

It makes me think of cowboys on the cattle drives who would receive their lump sum payment at the end of the trail when the cattle are sold, and many of them would immediately go looking to spend it on booze and women. Perhaps it is similar in that having all this wool to sell is an economic windfall and vices can be afforded.

It is interesting there is no condemnation of Judah for soliciting the prostitute. However, when he learned that Tamar had prostituted herself, he is furious and demands that she be burned to death. It shows the double standard of patriarchy. It was fine for Judah to use a woman for sex, but unthinkable for a woman in his family to be engaged in that activity. What is acceptable depends on which side of the patriarchal system you find yourself. Women at that time were viewed as property, and being a harlot, even a religious one, dramatically reduces the value of the woman.

—————————

It wasn't happenstance that Tamar required Judah to hand over his seal, staff, and cord. These are the symbol of his family and his tribe. The seal is used to mark his property. These items are highly valuable, and by handing them over, he is putting the future of his family in the hands of the sacred prostitute. It is reminiscent of Esau selling his birthright to satisfy his hunger. Judah was satisfying a different hunger.

—————————

Judah admits to what he did and agrees to take care of Tamar. He recognized the wrong he did and took steps to fix it, so in a way he redeems himself in some measure. This is considered justice and a fulfilling of what is owed to Tamar.

—————————

The sin of this story was not prostitution, it wasn’t sex outside of marriage, it wasn’t masturbation or birth control. They failed to take care of Tamar and meet their obligations to her, that is the sin. They had an obligation to care for someone in a vulnerable position.

—————————

This family has many generations of women who are infertile, but who finally have a son who grows up to save the nation. Think of Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Elizabeth, and Hannah. Although, since the common denominator is the males from the same family line, perhaps it's not the women who are infertile.

While not infertile, Tamar is similar in that she is unable to have children due to the men of this family. Tamar uses trickery and extra-marital sex to seize the means of reproduction, and she was declared righteous for doing so.

This Canaanite woman lived up to all the traditional roles expected of her, but she was betrayed by the patriarchy. Perhaps they did this because she wasn't an Israelite, but rather than polluting the tribe, she lifts it up. She became the one to carry on Judah’s lineage through her children.

—————————

A queer application of this is we need to take care of the people around us, especially those more vulnerable and on the margins of society.

Many laws are being passed to deny basic rights and decency to queer people, especially trans individuals. Do we stand up for these vulnerable groups of people and oppose this legislation?

It’s okay for non-queer people to get gender-affirming care. For example, hormone blockers if puberty comes too early or to treat the symptoms of PCOS, testosterone to boost sex drive, hormone replacement therapy for menopause, breast reduction or enhancement surgery, hair transplants, Viagra, injections of filler to plump up lips and bums, and the list goes on and on. Cisgender people affirming their gender through healthcare is commonplace.

But for queer people to seek gender-affirming healthcare, that's not seen as the same. Laws target trans people to forbid them accessing gender-affirming care.

When I read that Judah thought it was fine for him to pay a woman for sex, but terrible for Tamar to be paid by a man for sex, it reminded me of how those in power and positions of privilege often allow for themselves things they deny to others. We live in a cis-normative and heteronormative society and gender-affirming healthcare is easily accessible for those in the majority. Meanwhile, the same health treatments for a queer person are tightly controlled and difficult to access. Estrogen is readily available to cis women as a hormonal contraceptive from their doctor, yet extremely hard to get hold of for trans women, who must go through a specialist gender clinic and a psychiatric assessment to access the same drug.

Most trans healthcare is actually cis healthcare. Very few of the speech and language therapists, laser hair-removal specialists, or surgeons constructing penises for trans men, originally trained to offer their services to trans people. Their services were for cis people first, and then adapted for trans people.

Cis people would be very upset if the government severely limited or outlawed their access to these treatments. Why are they upset that queer people receive gender-affirming healthcare? Perhaps it’s not the healthcare that they have a problem with, but it's about their own discomfort with queer people.

Just as Judah didn't have an issue with sex outside of marriage for himself but was ready to kill Tamar for essentially the same thing, many people in our society are ready to shame, bully, outlaw and even cause the death of queer people for accessing treatments available to everyone else.

—————————

Another queer application for queer Mormons is we can relate to growing up being promised that we would be married and have a family, but then being denied those blessings and reminded of it at every turn.

Like Tamar, queer members have to make families in unconventional ways, and we get shamed and labeled a sinner because of it.

Eventually Tamar’s choices were validated and she was honored to become a foremother of Jesus Christ. One day queer Latter-day Saints will receive the blessings we were promised and be able to stay in the Church. In the meantime, we need to be persistent like Tamar to get the blessings we deserve.

Celebrity jeopardy is the funniest show ever. The other night they showed a photo of a goat and the question was basically what is this animal and the correct response was “what is a goat?”

Happy storyteller Saturday (glad we’re bringing this back)! Your characters go to the county fair! What do they eat? What rides do they go on? Who gets so into petting goats they forget to even look at rides? Who wins a questionable number of clearly rigged games? Who gets their face painted? Who overhauls their entire aesthetic based on booths of scarves and accessories? Who finds something hyperspecific to learn about while the others tap their feet impatiently? Etc.

(passing this on, tag you're it! <3)

hey thanks for the ask (will try my best to remember to pass it on next saturday)

oh i KNOW betsys gettin some funnel cake & the ankhanum are eatin enough corn dogs to put the entire trip into jeopardy bc theyre eating too fucking much.

annies gonna be all over that petting zoo. betsys not gonna get to do shit (shes fine w that).

sanderson tries the ferris wheel. he gets stuck at the top and throws a fit til he touches the ground again.

norman and hieu are treating this entire thing as a romantic date bc theyre wisely staying away from the remainder of that hot mess and playing carnival games. (norman manages to piss off a few of the carnies though bc hes winning stuff he really shouldnt be bc hes utilizing his ankhanum to cheat.)

hieu gives all the stuffed animals they won to annie.

clive gets fixated on the accessories (most of which he definitely stole), ankhanum practically commands the facepainting station. thats his job now. hes gonna make everyone look AWESOME.

its a good day, all in all!

Thorquill Ficlet: The Favor

“Before you battle my son, I will be generous,” Zeus, one of the oldest and pettiest of gods announced. “I will allow you time to collect a favor.”

Thor had already mentally prepared himself for this silly, and rather pointless fight, against Heracles, but this was unexpected. “What do you mean?” he asked.

Zeus chuckled at the Asgardian’s naïveté. “It is customary for some to get a boon or token from a loved one before a duel. It could be from family but a conquest is much more potent.”

From the elder god’s tone, Thor knew that he was trying to rile Thor up, to keep him off his game. Luckily, Thor was in a rather good mood and feeling unflappable. Still, it would be a difficult ask.

Jane was gone and although Thor considered the doodles on his hammer good luck, he doubted the other god of Thunder would see it that way.

What to do?

“You ever feel lost, just look into the eyes of the people you love.”

Of course. Thor smacked himself on the forehead; he was overthinking this.

“Can you teleport me somewhere?” Thor asked, he fished around in his pockets, “I have these coordinates—“

Meanwhile, at an unassuming house in Missouri, Peter Quill lounged on the couch in his sweatpants and t-shirt with his grandparents, waiting for their own contest of wills to resume.

“I can’t believe he missed that last one,” Grandpa Quill groused.

Peter rolled his eyes. “Most people don’t know the geography of rivers in South America, Grandpa.”

“He should have,” Grandpa said, “he’s on Jeopardy!”

The doorbell rang.

“I’ll get it.” If it was another reverse mortgage salesman, Peter was going to shoo them off with a broom.

“Hurry it up,” New Grandma Quill called out after him, “they’re announcing the Final Jeopardy question soon.”

Standing at the door was one of the last people Peter ever expected to see. “Thor? I haven’t seen you since—“ god, when was it? “You got the goats and left the ship.”

“Yes, I’ve been on many mighty adventures since our last meeting,” Thor said, “but I’m in a bit of a hurry. Can I ask a favor of you?”

He was in his sweatpants and just a guy but Peter was game. “Sure, what do you—“

The kiss was sudden, lacking finesse but full of heat. Peter found himself gripping Thor’s forearms for balance. He opened his mouth on instinct, shivering as Thor took what he wanted.

It was over just as suddenly as it began.

“Thank you,” Thor said with a massive grin. “I have to go fight a god now, I’ll call on you later.” He then lowered his voice to a whisper, “You should probably prepare yourself, a sound victory can make me very stimulated. It might be a long night.”

Then Thor teleported away, leaving Peter to sputter angrily at muscular gods and their presumptions and his own idiotic frustration.

Then to top it all off: “You missed the final question Peter, it was about that band Blue Swede.”

Cryptid of the Day!

Side note: Later on your going to see a LOT of creatures from Brazil, because god DAMN do they have some interesting stuff. It’s funny, all around the world you see repeats of similar cryptids with slightly different aspects and names. I could spend all day talking about different cryptids from different parts of the world that are bipedal, unusually large primates, or long necked, humongous sea monsters the seem to find their way into any lake big enough to fit a kayak. But Brazil?? If you want something unique and original , look to almost any cryptid that’s popped up in Brazil.

Capelobo: NOW, I best be getting to the actual topic of the day; the capelobo of Brazil! Capelobo’s are lycanthropes, like Werewolves! ….. except werewolves are probably not the best comparison. So let’s go through the process of the Capelobo. Let’s say you’re old, wrinkly, hunched over and frankly just sick of being well…. Old. So! You do what any sensible senior citizen such as yourself would do: sell your humanity and sense of morality in exchange for a new body, your Capelobo body!! Now remember, once you have chosen to become a capelobo, you may never return to your human body or your humanity, but you are gifted with two new forms! These two forms would include your animal form, a tapir with some oddly dog like features, and your humanoid form. Now, the animal form is really just for disguise, what capelobos are REALLY known for is their primary humanoid, ‘werewolf’ form. You are given the head of an anteater (or in some, rare myths, the head of a tapir or a dog), the body of an incredibly buff man (plus a bunch of fur), long, powerful anteater claws, and two bottle shaped legs with PERFECTLY rounded hooves that make your tracks especially unique! Plus! You are also gifted with a banshee screech that can be heard from over ten miles away and drive victims straight up insane, incredible strength, basketball player hight, impenetrable skin, and a foul smell! And yes I know, compared to all of your other new abilities, foul smell sounds like an insult, but honestly….. it’s kind of your new best weapon. When I say foul, I mean FOUL. The sheer power of the capelobo’s stinky-ness is enough to stun its prey, rendering it completely unconscious and giving it headaches and dizziness for days after if it were to somehow survive the encounter. All together, I don’t know about you but that sounds like a pretty damn good deal to me! You could waste away in a nursing home watching jeopardy as you slowly fade into eternal unconsciousness, OR, you could spontaneously become an (honestly ) kind of over powered buff ass furry that lives significantly longer life being a forest goblin! I mean, really, of course my default answer would initially be “FUCK YEAH!! FURRY-IFY ME!” But before we get to hasty, let us into our ‘lovely’ little capelobo life style first….

The Tea:

Despite what you may assume from their giant claws and muscles capable of ripping a man in half without a sweat, capelobos aren’t necessarily meat eaters. But they sure as hell are carnivores! Capelobos are actually vampiric! They survive primarily out of sucking the blood out of their victims, and sometimes sucking the brains of their prey straight out of their skull.

Capelobo’s are beasts, and they are considered evil, but not because they’re man eaters. Don’t get me wrong, capelobo’s are known for draining a guy who’s in the wrong place at the wrong time, but humans really aren’t on their list of common prey. See, it’s the diet that me back the hell out, and drops these guys out of lost for my top three favorite cryptids. These guys just live off cute baby animals. Specially kittens, puppies and baby goats. Like- all of the cutest baby animals of all time.

Where to find in other media:

Capelobo is a monster that can be found in DND, and an inscription mod set! Unfortunately though, that’s all I could really find for this one!

Sub story - Sunny Spot Poetry (1/3)

April 3rd is Yuyu Kinoshita's birthday. Happy Birthday, Yuyu! I wanted to translate one of her stories for the occasion. Will probably review it more carefully later, but I wanted to be able to upload this for her birthday~

Yuyu's stuffed goat, Daniel, often speaks in her stead. I'd like to clarify this is not referred to as ventriloquism - if you're familiar with Shu and Mademoiselle from Enstars, it's more similar to that.

As such, when it's Daniel doing the talking, I've put Yuyu's dialogue in quotation marks. Daniel speaks using archaic Japanese, which I localised by using Early Modern English pronouns. With all that out of the way, enjoy!

Featured characters: Yuyu, Protag-kun

Location: Hallway

Yuyu: "Thou who walks down this road — yes, yes, thee."

"Certainly, thou art part of the Student Council, art thou not? I saw thee providing thy assistance at school assemblies and the like."

"Mm? Thou art not an official member? I can not understand thee if thou say such complicated things."

"Well, that is alright. Could thou lead me to the Student Council room?"

"This school is so big, an old granny like me does not know where things are found."

"Seee, I wish to meet with the Student Council President, whom I have a tad of business with."

"Hm? The Student Council President is currently absent?"

"How troublesome; the deadline for the Literature Club's periodical journal is almost upon us."

"Given that the Literature Club has few members, if there is even one draft missing, the chances of being able to publicate the journal will be put in jeopardy."

"Be that as it may, the Student Council President seems to be busy as of late, so—"

"Well. In travelling, a companion; in life, compassion, as they say [1]. Would thou be as kind as to write a short article in place of the Student Council President?"

"Seee, it is merely for filling in the gaps. A cheaply-written column will suffice."

"The Student Council seems to be bringing about quite the commotion nowadays. Thou could arrange that into a story."

"With this settled, we shall lead thee to the Literature Club's room, and I will teach thee the basics of writing."

"Art thou fine with that, Yuyu?"

Yes, Yuyu is fine with this, Daniel!

"Then let us be off~ The deadline will not wait for us!"

Mister, come this way! Yuyu will introduce you to the rest of the members~ ♪ Ehehe ♪

Yuyu uses a proverb here, the meaning of which is 'just as it's good to have fellow travellers accompany you in a journey, it's important to have compassion for those you meet'.

[definitely-not-iorveth]

a short thing written for @thepassifloradiscord monsterfucking week.

warning: doesn't contain much in the way of actual fucking.

Eskel gets a contract for a succubus, but it's not quite what he expects.

The contract is rather straightforward, as far as these things go. Some weeks ago, the husband had begun to disappear for hours on end, returning entirely drained but blissful and becoming morose in the following days. At the same time, he had started to gradually lose interest in the affections of his wife. All things fairly standard for an affair with a succubus—or, sometimes, a particularly zealous mistress.

Eskel had explained as much. She didn't care—as long as the situation was handled in some way.

It wasn't even about the sex, she had explained, as frankly not much had changed in this regard. He had never been particularly enthusiastic with her. But lately, he had started to disappear more and more often, leaving his workshop cold, the clients unhappy and their livelihood in jeopardy—and no amount of talking, crying or screaming served to convince him to do his job properly. And so, monstrous or otherwise, the paramour needed to go.

Far from passing moral judgements upon his clients (out loud, anyway), Eskel had shrugged, strapped on his swords and left. He doesn't intend to kill the succubus, not unless she proves hostile. He had gotten pretty good at negotiating with them through the years.

He follows the husband to the rendezvous point, quiet and careful, then finds a spot nearby and hunkers down for a while to hopefully catch them in the act. (He finds that doing so makes it much harder for the cheating party to come up with a plausible excuse.)

The plan, if it can even be called that, works. Eskel stays in hiding until he deems that an appropriate amount of time has passed, then bursts out of his hiding place to find… Not quite what he had expected, but they're going at it alright.

The husband is crouched in front of a long-haired, horned figure with hairy goat legs, bobbing his head back and forth… Sucking its dick, Eskel realises with a start. This man is having an affair with an incubus.

A pair of intense amber eyes lock with his and the incubus smirks, allowing Eskel to watch for a moment longer. The witcher swallows, his throat suddenly very dry.

"It appears you were not careful enough, my darling," says the incubus. His voice, just like succubi's, is silky, melodious and sensual—yet undoubtedly masculine.

The husband nearly chokes and hastily withdraws, his face althernately reddening and paling.

"Wha- Who are you?" He stammers out, hastily wiping off his mouth and adjusting his clothing.

Eskel clears his throat.

"I'm a witcher. Your, uh, your wife sent me."

The man makes and ugly grimace, while the incubus' face takes on a shocked expression.

"Your wife?" He cries out, sounding appaled. "You have a wife? Oh, Tederick, you've told me you were single!"

Tederick blanches.

"No! Aravel, please, I can explain! I love you!"

But the incubus turns away from him (a little dramatically, Eskel notes), leaning against the nearest tree trunk as if stuck with a heavy blow.

"No, Tederick. Say no more, please. I can't take it. Just… Leave me to my cruel fate at the hands of the witcher."

"Whoa now!" Eskel interjects hastily, putting up his hands defensively—least Tederic does something they'll all regret in the name of love. "If you're willing to go in peace, I have no intention of harming you."

"Fine!" The incubus cries out. "Leave me to my exile, then!"

Tederick argues for a while, sneaking venomous glances towards Eskel every now and again, but Aravel refuses to yield. Eventually, the human gives up. He gives Eskel one last angry glare and leaves. Aravel remains leaning against the tree, shaking slightly and making little sounds that resemble sobbing. Eskel startes at his back, unsure how to proceed. Sure, he had seen succubi grow attached to a human, but never in love with one. He hadn't thought it possible—and expected incubi to be much the same.

Finally, he steels himself and approaches Aravel with the intention of comforting him—but then he notices that the sounds he assumed to be sobs are actually quiet giggling.

"Are you… Laughing?" He ask warily. The incubus whips towards him, grinning widely.

"Of course I am. Did you see his face?" He pauses to take stock of Eskel. "Aww, were you hoping to comfort me, little human? That's sweet."

Eskel sighs.

"I take it you were aware he had a wife, then?"

"Obviously! The committed ones are always a much more interesting challenge." He bares his teeth in a predatory smile, then suddenly his expression turns moody. "Not that Tederick was overly committed from the beginning. I don't think he's even interested in women."

Eskel shrugs. He got the same feeling from the conversation with his wife, but that's none of his business.

"So… What now? Moving on, now that you've had your fun?"

Aravel purses his lips.

"I could stand a little more. But now that his wife is desperate enough to send witchers after me, yes, I expect I'll be moving on." He sighs. "Oh well. It was fun while it lasted."

He gives Eskel one more appraising look.

"You wouldn't happen to be Eskel, would you?"

"I would." Eskel replies as nonchalantly as he can manage, trying to hide his surprise.

The incubus leers.

"My sisters have told me much about you."

"Oh?" Eskel desperately tries to ignore the way Aravel's stare makes his blood rush south. "And what did they say?"

The incubus starts circling him slowly as he speaks.

"That you're strong and hansome. That you're very… Reasonable, for a witcher." He stops in front of Eskel and trails one long finger down his chest, looking at him hungrily. "That you're… Quite receptive to the advances of our kind."

Eskel can't contain himself any longer in the face of such obvious seduction. He grabs the incubus by the hair and mashed their mouths together.

"They were right." He half growls, half pants once they separate. Aravel grins and purrs.

"Good."

do you guys want a sneak peek/the beginning of the mirror me intro fic

too bad you don’t get to answer here it is. shitty draft sneak peek. feel free to give criticisms

Talo. He had to find Talo. In all the chaos of the cultists’ invasion, he’d lost them. Rethim silently cursed himself for being so stupid. How could he have lost them? After everything they’d done to help him, he’d gone and let them get in danger for him. He still felt deeply afraid, though. How was he to find them, when his own life would be in jeopardy with all of the cultists running amok in search of him? He grimaced, blood rushing through his body from all the adrenaline. In a split moment decision, he sped out of his hiding spot, yelling their name. “Talo! Talo, where are you?”

“Rethim! Stay back!” Talo’s voice shouted, as an antlered figure shoved him back. He inhaled sharply at the collision, relief flooding him the moment he realized they’d been right there, by a nearby potted plant.

“Talo! I couldn’t find you, I had to— Augh!” He was cut off with a yelp as a hand grabbed him by his cloak hood.

“Rethim! Put him down!” They snarled, lunging at the large cultist to scratch, claw, and bite. They could do nothing to help him, he knew that much. The Bishop’s followers were ruthless.

“Talo, run!” He cried, a tear welling up.

“Get the deer, too. Sympathizers don’t get mercy!” Barked a voice, though Rethim couldn’t turn his head far enough to find the owner.

“No!” He cried as Talo was grabbed by several Scamp cultists. He tried to bat at the hand now holding him around the waist, wanting nothing more than to escape.

“Heket will pay nicely for this last one. Knock it out, Sura. Don’t need it wiggling away like last time!” One of the larger cultists joked, and the one holding him laughed. He barely had time to think before he was clonked on the head, and his vision blurred.

‘This last one,’ they’d said. Was it true? Was he the last of the goats? The thought barely passed through before he was hit again, and promptly sent into unconsciousness.

The sun in Virgo and the moon in Aries Combines a critical ability With an aggressive personality The careful Virgin nature drops its guard under the influence of the speculating Ram After a few false starts, the drive toward personal recognition begins And the excellent metal equipment of Virgo, fired by the enthusiasm of Aries Helps desires to be realized

The Virgin moon in Taurus softens the corners of ambition And usually the native likes the living to be easy You're often fortunate in matters of money, and sheer luck seems to favor you You prefer harmony to excitement, and have an aversion to being rushed You are a great audience and both artists and life love to have you around

It's been said that man is not a beast of pure reason alone The Virgo with the Twin moon seems to learn everything but that You are mostly education and information, but not very big in inspiration and imagination If you think it, you believe it If you feel it, you don't quite understand it In the area of the mind, challenges get you going And there you are hard to defeat Your mind just never stops working

If you are a Virgo with a moon in Cancer, there's more to you than meets the eye You appear aloof but respond quickly to a show of friendship You seem to be practical and conservative, but time reveals a quivering sensitivity Your attitude impresses as conventional, but you can have things going that could raise eyebrows These contradictions do not result from dishonesty, but from protection against a world you're not sure of

I could not love thee dear so well, loved I not honor more This quote sums up the Virgin with her moon in Leo Your character, sense of duty, and your need to be honorable mean more to you than anything else in the worldYour difficulty comes from not understanding that you are pretty much alone in this competitive world You can live and die by your standards While others, less able, succeed Much to your amazement and resentment

The sun and moon in Virgo produces an intellectual aristocrat Your thinking proceeds on classic lines, and your approach to living is impeccable Taste is your word And your creed And anything that violates good taste scrapes across your senses like a fingernail across a blackboard You uphold the status quo, and violent changes in personal and world affairs is a condition and a fact of life you cannot buy

The moon in Libra inspires refinement Which heightens the fastidiousness of the Virgin nature Only truly worth while pursuits can claim your time and your energy You're discriminating, but are not a put down personIf you cannot associate with people you respect, you prefer your own company and the stimulation of a good book Any port in a storm is a philosophy you couldn't possibly abide

If you are a Virgo with your moon in Scorpio Your life is lived in extremely personal terms And all roads lead to you Passion dominates thought And a fiercely subjective attitude touches everything you do Your convictions are primarily emotional And as a result they're not easily changed When an idea you believe in is threatened, you feel your entire existence is in jeopardy This could make you a rebel without a cause

The critical faculty of the Virgin is challenged by the optimism of the ArcherWhen the Virgo Moon is in Sagittarius Your mind may tell you "no", but what you feel is "yes" In order to escape this paradox, you substitute dreams for realityIn fact, even give up on reality Which, isn't necessary For you have a practical and analytical potential Which, when focused, can achieve first-rate results

When the Virgo Moon is in Capricorn, the exactness of the Virgin and the cautious ambition of the Goat combined to create a study in practicality You are quietly straight forward And achieve by using precise knowledge, and subtle reasoning Financial gains usually follow your efforts And business advancement seems to be the natural result Your assent, though extremely careful at times Does lead to a personality and a style of living which is well integrated

The Aquarian's love of relating to life in the abstract is increased, when Virgo's Moon is in Aquarius You not only feel a cause, but being Virgo, can examine it rationally And find ingenious original ways of presenting itIndividuals you can take or leave alone as a rule But people, as a mass mirror of suffering humanity Get the most you have to give, which is usually a great deal

The hairsplitting eye of the Virgin is given the third eye vision of the hypersensitive Fish, when the moon is in Pisces There is the perfect equation of the factual and the intuitive A capacity for seeing beyond the obvious And reaching the spiritual essence of a problem or a human being The most rewarding life you can live is one of sympathy, and charity With an open ear, and open heart for anyone, at any time

Michael Jordan screws Riley gambling killed father My favorite and best player ever and forever.Yes he made most of his money the hard way. He earned it. Basketball, sponsorship, smart business moves etc. Gambling was the ONLY real negative thing in his career, in my opinion which to me was his way of venting and something he enjoyed, so F the haters. But some suspect his gambling during the Nicks series may have either had something to do with his fathers death OR was to confuse Pat Riley OR both.Remember Pat Riley tried everything to get his players to beat Jordan. And was very vocal on not messing with Jordan to motivate him after he did it and lost. And Jordan knew this. I feel MJ is as smart as he is, so the media was well aware of his famous night of gambling in the playoffs. Thinking Riley would tell his troops MJ will be tired, embarrassed maybe and lost a ton of money. Michael Jordan never hid the fact that gambling was a huge part of his life that he was unable to rise against for years. His gambling habit left him in so much debt at some point when he was in the NBA and it reportedly led to his father’s murder, James R. Jordan in July 1993. It was the same year that the Chicago Bulls legend took a two-year retirement from the NBA but not many people knew what was happening. Well, Michael Franzese, a reformed American gangster said that this rumour of Jordan’s debts leading to his father’s death has considerable merit and credibility. Franzese, while speaking during an interview with VladTV in 2019 opened up on his time working with the NBA to educate players about the risks of gambling. He then recalled hearing from a credible source that Jordan’s gambling addiction was to blame for his father’s death in 1993. He added that the NBA, which was commissioned at the time by David Stern, did not want to deal with the unwanted press that the rumour generated. Thus, the league asked Jordan to take a leave until the heat cooled down which is when he retired in 1993. “He’s a big gambler. Michael gambles on everything. I don’t have first-hand knowledge of this, but being that I was working with the NBA at that time, I was told two things,” Franzese recalled. He continued: “One that he was told to leave the NBA around the time that his father got murdered because stories were about to come out and there was a lot of heat on the fact that because of Michael’s gambling habit, his father paid the price. And the NBA didn’t want the press, so they asked him to leave for a while, and that’s when he went to play baseball.” In a statement on his retirement in October 1993, Jordan revealed that he was opting out due to a lack of motivation. He said there was nothing left for him to fight for after leading the Chicago Bulls to three consecutive NBA championships from 1991 to 1993. Jordan’s subsequent return to the NBA in 1996 was according to plan. The rumour on the cause of his father’s death had faded away and there was no more negative press about him. The All-time NBA legend was first seen gambling in Atlantic City, New Jersey in 1993. It was just before the Chicago Bulls’ game versus the New York Knicks. He previously acknowledged losing $57,000 while gaming but never talked of the huge debts he incurred due to his addiction. Jordan admitted to being a gambler twelve years later, after announcing his retirement. He also said that his gambling behaviour put his family in jeopardy which Franzese says means more to those with inner knowledge of what happened in 1993. Over the years though, he turned his fortunes around to become the wealthiest NBA player in history with a net worth of $2.2 billion by 2021.
