Clothing: She wears a black lace up bustier top with ribbon straps, the front has white rose design on the center, and pink gradient asymmetrical ballet skirt. Underneath she wears black spandex shorts, black thigh highs with bridal garters and black ankle strap ballet flats. She usually wears a pink cardigan over her outfit and silver small hoop earrings.

Personality: Tira is a joyful, independent person who enjoys little things like dolls and small animals. She moves to her own beat and passionate of her hobbies, one example is practicing her ballet on roof tops for better balance.

Tira is a highly kind, outgoing person who sees the best in everyone while remaining objective enough to recognize both their shortcomings and strengths. She is kind to everyone she meets, and is generally sympathetic.

Tira maintains an affectation of grace and innocence, both as the way she was raised and uses it as a shield to get her opponents to lower their guard with her. Once people get to know her well enough, Tira is a fearless, extremely adept stand user who typically uses her opponents like marionettes beneath the careful presentation of ladylike demeanor.

Tira has demonstrated that she is a complex individual as a result of growing up with ten brothers, each of them had a distinctive personality. As a result, she can easily speak with any of them and assist them in their daily tasks. She's often called 'tomboy' due to having masculine traits despite behaving extremely feminine.

Tira takes every challenge extremely seriously and is results-driven because she is used to friendly rivalry in her family. Her determination and stubbornness are to be feared when someone faces her. She's rational and keeps a calm under pressure, no matter how much it is.

Despite her sweet and good-naturedness, she can be absolutely vicious if any of her loved ones are in danger or if she gets to be mistaken for a child. Another way to get on her bad side is to trying to steal or destroy her doll collection.

Stand Profile

Stand Name: Marina

Stand Type: Close-range stand

Ability: Her main ability is to use blood to control the motor functions of others against their will as if they were a marionette. She has the ability to propel her victims across short distances as well as lift and hold them in the air. Tira can also crush or interfere with a victim's internal organs, as well as to temporarily knock numerous persons out of their senses.

When using Electra Heart, Marina can direct the blood flow through particular areas of the body. She has to get nearer to her target, they start to vomit and choke on their own blood, and claw themselves to the point of peeling off their skin. At worse, their ribcages pop out, breaking apart and tearing their flesh and give a view of their heart and lungs, their heart pump so fast they literally explode and soon the rest of the organs follow.

Her sub-skill is that she's able to heal or regenerate others by just using hers or their blood. Major injuries require her own blood to ensure proper healing.

Appearance: A beautiful Victorian porcelain doll. She has black hair styled in loose ringlets held by a black and red feather headpiece and blue eyes and wearing red lipstick. She wears a red lace up midi corset Victorian dress with black outlines and black ruffles on the bottom, black low-heeled shoes and a black and red choker. Has an unnerving smile when attacking.

Personality: Mostly silent and still but maternal and affectionate to Tira and those close to her. She likes to do domestic chores, finding the mundaneness of it relaxing, but will slap anyone if they become sexist about it.

True to her appearance, she behaves in a polite, dignified, and graceful way. She likes to orderly and neat, keeping her and Tira constantly groomed and dislikes messes, notably from La Squadra.

She can be ruthless if Tira is threatened, albeit calm and calculated, and likes to play pranks if feeling mischievous. Her favorite targets are Formaggio and Ghiaccio.

According to the wikipedia Hade's presence is so intimidating and powerful that he scared Atlas, Orion, the cyclopes the Stars in the sky and many gods. I know Disney's Hades not liked but again Mythological hades just commands this presence you really need to abide by him or he could take you to an early grave.

Oh heck yeah! I bet he was pretty scary in Greek mythology lol!

(Long ramblings ahead lol)

I think in the Hercules universe he’s more feared by the mortals than the gods. The gods just seemed to be annoyed by him and dislike his attitude, and morals, and personality. I think I’ve mentioned this before (I don’t remember), but it’s most likely that he’s tried to con other gods in order to get power of some sort in the past (like before the movie) and has probably even butt in on other godly affairs and beseechments (like the whole Aphrodite vs Hades thing in the Gorgon episode of the series). I’m sure the gods also know about how he likes to con mortals into selling their souls to him in order to “get more business” and will prey on vulnerable and desperate people to get what he wants and from what I’ve seen in the series, they’re pretty against that sort of thing and think it’s really shady and morally wrong to do so. Also, he’s probably made it very clear to the other gods that he’s sick of the underworld and is bitter towards his brothers (mainly Zeus for giving him the underworld in the first place) because they’re more powerful, and popular, and well liked than he is. And I’m sure it’s also very well known to the other gods that he has anger issues and is pretty hot headed (literally). I know Zeus and Poseidon have quite the temper themselves (and I’m sure the other gods know that as well), but Hades is the worst when it comes to having a bad temper, so I’m sure he’s infamous for it on Olympus lol. But yeah, judging by those looks he got at Hercules’ birth celebration party, the other gods have issues with him from some things he’s probably said or done in the past. I don’t think they’d all give him the cold shoulder like that over a few sarcastic comments, y’know?

Anyways, the mortals definitely fear him because he’s pretty much like the devil or the grim reaper. He’s the god of the underworld and lord of the dead, so it’s pretty much like, if you see Hades then it’s probably your time and you’re about to die, y’know? Like, you’re considered lucky to run into Hades and still be alive. I mean, I’m sure he’s done many, MANY deals with mortals in exchange for their souls (I’m sure he’s very well known for that on Earth among other things), so like I said, if you run into Hades and still have your soul by the end of the day, then you’re a very lucky mortal lol. I’m sure the mortals also know about Hades’ infamous short fuse as well and fear that if they say or do anything to set him off, then he’ll kill them or take their souls.

Kinda a side note, but personally I don’t think Hades has ever actually killed anyone himself. I know that some of his actions can lead to someone getting killed (like Meg getting crushed by the pillar trying to save Herc because he sent that cyclops after him and the cyclops caused the pillar to topple over) and sometimes he’ll send someone who works for him to kill someone., but he said himself in the Big Sink episode “I’m a god! Not a hitman!” Lol, so it seems like he gets offended and annoyed when people assume that he kills mortals because of how scary and powerful he is (and because of the nature of his job as a god). Of course, he has attempted to kill Hercules (and even Zeus when he turned mortal in the Visit from Zeus episode) countless times by his own hand, but other than that, I don’t think he’s ever actually tried to kill anyone himself.

Well, y’know what? I just now realized that Hades did actually send a plague (like I said, his actions and the stuff he’s done can end up killing people) to Athens killing many people and ended up using the plague himself to kill Hippocrates, so Hades actually has killed someone in the series (which is crazy now that I’m typing it out lmao, like this show was meant for children and they literally just had Hades casually kill a character on screen lmao Disney was wild back then), BUT as we all know, the show is pretty much an AU, so personally for like, “movie Hades” I don’t think he’s ever actually killed anyone.

Sleep Paralysis. Legends, Dangers and Magic

By The Alchemist

Sleep Paralysis sounds pretty modern as a term. However, it’s old as time. Nocturnal Witches, both ancient and modern, are quite familiar with both the term and the state itself. Priests and Priestesses of the Ancient Times, knew all about this pretty frightening state. What did they know back then? Do we know the whole truth? This article will try to shed some witchy light on this dark subject.

Sleep Paralysis and Nocturnal Witchcraft

The Nocturnal Witchcraft is full of surprises, dangers and opportunities. Although it’s not for everyone, the Craft of the Night is enticing and has so much to teach all of us. We’ve learned the Light is Good and Darkness is Bad. This mistaken belief is what tears us apart from the inside. You see, Darkness is as good as the Light. Both give us the balance we need. Don’t be mistaken. Darkness is essential. Do not mess Darkness with Evil. Don’t give in religious propaganda. Light can also be evil and deceiving.

Green Witchcraft II: Balancing Light & Shadow, by Llewellyn Publications, get it from Amazon here

In the Ancient times, priests of the God of Healing, Asclepius, used to initiate a sleep state for their worshippers in order to find the cure of their disease. Darkness was essential to find the cure. Moreover, priests of Hades, God of the underworld, went over a similar procedure in order to contact the Souls of the Dead and learn more. Darkness is equally sacred as the Light.

Sleep Paralysis in Witchcraft and the Old Religion

The first documented account of Sleep Paralysis is written on a Chinese book of Dreams in the 4th century b.C. Since then, ancient Greek and Roman doctors have written about this experience. Sleep paralysis was always linked with supernatural forces and entities from another Realm.

Sleep Paralysis ONLY occurs at Night.

This is quite interesting and it was noticed from the ancient times too. That’s where the word ‘nightmare’ comes from!

What Does ‘Nightmare’ means?

The world ‘nightmare’ which now just means bad dream, is actually a world for Sleep Paralysis. It comes from ‘night’ and the Scandinavian ‘mara‘, which is the female demon, a succubi, who loves to sit on a sleeping person’s chest, suffocating him or her. This creature is also known as ‘the Night Hag‘, ‘Old Mara‘ or ‘the Old Hag‘. It’s difficult not to notice the same word, ‘mara‘ is the sanskrit word to describe the Lord of Evil, similar to ‘Satan‘.

victim of sleep paralysis and astral demons

Astral Demons and Sleep Paralysis

All over the World, the same story goes on and on. In most cases a spirit sits on your chest trying to such your vital energy. Most of the times this is a female entity but in many cases it’s also a male or an animal entity. Due to Witchcraft, these entities might either be:

Astral Demons feasting on someone’s astral energy

Psychic / Astral vampires draining your vitality

Evil Witches attacking their victim causing a ‘psychic attack’, probably engaging in Witch Wars

An Evil Witch’s familiar attacking the witch’s victim causing a ‘psychic attack’, probably engaging in Witch Wars

Who is Old Mara. A Night Demon of misty Scandinavia

According to the Nordic belief, ‘Mara’ is a damned woman who is cursed to travel around at nights and sit on villagers’ chests, causing them nightmares while snuffing their vital energy. Hence, she is a succubus, a female astral demon of vampiric nature.

One of the oldest yet very famous artwork of sleep paralysis, is Henry Fuseli’s 1781 painting ‘The Nightmare’. This painting features probably all the infamous symptoms of sleep paralysis. In this painting we can clearly see a demon – ‘Mara’ – sitting on the chest of sleeping lady. What we can also see are several quite strange and otherworldly creatures sneaking in her bedroom.

The Astral Demon of the Night in Melanesia

Far far away from Norway, in Melanesian islands, sleep paralysis is interpreted as ‘kana tevoro‘ which literally means getting eaten by the demon. Again, this is a damned spirit who is somehow bound in the material plane becoming a hungry ghost to haunt the living relatives who keep grudge with.

According to their customs, this possession might get handy! Hence, people around should say ‘kania, kania‘ which means ‘eat, eat!‘ in an attempt to prolong the possession and have the chance to chat with the soul hence looking for answers in the matter of why he or she has returned.  Here’s when it get’s even creepier. The individual awakening from the experience is asked to pursue the soul of the dead relative. This confrontation is believed to be the only solution. There is actually a 2014 short movie about that story!

The Astral Demon around the Mediterranean Sea

In Greece, it is believed that sleep paralysis occurs when a demonic old lady named Mora (again remember sanskrit Mara, the devil), sits on the victims chest trying to steal it’s breath and energy. A little South from Greece, in Egypt, this spirit is believed to be the spirit of an evil African Queen (probably one who possessed magical powers like Bilqis – Queen of Sheeba ). In Turkish culture, sleep paralysis is often referred to as karabasan (“the dark presser/assailer”).

Nightmare (1800) after Henry Fuseli’s The Nightmare (1781).

Night Witches, Witch Trials and Sleep Paralysis

Sleep paralysis was used as ‘evidence’ during the Witch Craze in Salem. In 1692 accused witch Susan Martin had told Robert Downer that “some She-Devil would shortly fetch him away”. About that night, Robert Downer said that “as he lay in his bed, there came in at the window, the likeness of a cat, which flew upon him, took fast hold of his throat, lay on him a considerable while, and almost killed him.”

According to these accounts, Evil Witches brought demons, who possessed these people causing them sleep paralysis.

What is Sleep Paralysis?

But first things first. Let’s give a definition. Sleep paralysis is the feeling similar to waking up, hence being conscious yet unable to move or speak from a few seconds up to a few minutes. Some people may also feel pressure on their chest, belly or a weird sense of choking. It occurs when a person passes between stages of sleep.

When does it Occur?

Most likely, Sleep paralysis occurs in the Nighttime. It usually happens during the Witching Hour, which makes things even more ‘magically’ complicated.

A Witch’s View on ‘Sleep Paralysis’

Sleep Paralysis is indeed a bewitching time. No matter how hard scientists try to explain what is happening, the stories speak for themselves. Yes it can be traced back to the transitions or REM and NREM sleep states, yet this does not excludes the magical phenomena which co-exist.

These hypnagogic states, were always useful in Witchcraft, as we have managed to isolate our senses, paralyzed our material bodies in order to have full access to our magical potential and astral energy. ‘Sleep Paralysis’ can be caused with Hypnosis as it’s such a powerful state of awareness. In fact, deep meditation tries to imitate this state.

As previously discussed in our article on Astral Projection “…the Truth though is that, Sleep Paralysis is only a step before Astral Projection. While in Sleep Paralysis, your body is totally relaxed but the Astral Body is activated. Thus your magical and psychic powers are on alert identifying entities and creatures around you of the same essence, the astral essence. Of course it comes natural to get scared by a negative entity therefore wake up and remember what you’ve experienced in the state of Sleep Paralysis.”

In other words, sleep paralysis is much more common. You are just more capable of remembering a scary experience rather than a relaxing one.

Conclusions:

YES, these scary creatures you see are real. They are actually astral demons and vampiric entities.  That’s why we have protection rites all over our magazine.

YES, these entities try to suck your energy either you’re sleeping or not.

NO, this is not what causes the paralysis. You are just transiting between sleep conditions. It’s a hypnagogic state EXTREMELY useful.

YES, thanks to your higher awareness due to sleep paralysis, you are able to recognize these creatures.

YES, you are safe! Especially when in sleep paralysis or while astral traveling you are more protected than usual because you are more aware of your spiritual self and you can conjure powers from your Guardian Angel.

Witchy Solution: In order to protect yourself from these entities, one needs to place a silver dime under his/her pillow. Silver is believed to keep vampiric demons away.

In conclusion Sleep Paralysis is safe and the doorway to the Astral Plane.

Have you Ever Experienced Sleep Paralysis?

T R A G I C   B A C K S T O R Y

   𝟏. 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐓𝐇 𝐁𝐄 𝐓𝐎𝐋𝐃, Loraine doesn’t remember much of her early life. At this point, most of her memories are bare flashes through her mind. It was all good - that she’s certain of - up until her mom died in an accident. Her father wasn’t the same ever since, his eyes were vacant and he barely spoke. He left one day and Lori never saw him, after that. She moved to stay with her aunt and although she took care of Loraine it was pretty clear that it was something she did out of pure obligation.

   𝟐. 𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 been really easy to provoke but instead of growing out of it, she actually embraced it. If the word and the people who inhabited it were pure shit, why should she try to be anything different? She was mean and she started fights over the smallest of things, though she was terrible at finishing them. No matter, she got up and dusted herself off.

   𝟑. 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐔𝐍𝐓 was no exception and the two of them fought pretty often. At the end of the day, Loraine rely on herself and herself only and she simply couldn’t wait until she moved out. She did, eventually, and she quite enjoyed living on her own. But you know, her temper had still not calmed down and eventually, when she was twenty-four, she messed with the wrong kinds of people. Though, they weren’t even people, were they? The vampires drank most of her blood and left her to die like that. That’s when another vampire (see wanted connections) noticed her and took pity on the dying girl, making sure she had some of their blood so she wouldn’t actually die.

   𝟒. 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐖𝐎𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐃𝐀𝐘 even more messed up than before. The faces of the vampires that did that to her were ingrained in her mind and the desire for revenge was what fueled her for a long time. Loraine was obsessed with finding them, desperately clinging to any and all clue of their whereabouts. It took many years but she did manage to track them down and kill them. 

  𝟓. 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐀𝐘 she had no idea what to do with herself after that. Her goal was finished. She traveled throghouht Europe for a few years before settling in Greece for a bit over the past decade. She’s worked night shifts as a bartender and treated it all as a creative break. The mundanity of it all was starting to grow too boring and calm for Loraine so the news of the mixed school piqued her interest and now here she is, looking to spice up her days.

  𝐓𝐋𝐃𝐑 ; Loraine is a shit-stirrer with a short-fuse, despite the fact that she couldn’t fight for shit. It eventually got her killed and she spent a good bunch of her life chasing after the people who left her to die to get her revenge. She’s been pretty lost and confused afterwards and is subconsciouslly looking for a new purpose in life.

S O M E T H I N G   E X T R A

  𝐈. To elaborate on her self-destructive tendencies, Lori runs on self-hate a lot of the time. She likes to push herself to her limits by doing dumb shit i.e. trying to see how much time she can really go without blood.

  𝐈𝐈. Loraine can be pretty flirty but she avoids actual relationships like the plague. It’s not hard for her to get attached to people but as soon as someone says they like (or God forbid love) her, she shuts down and pushes them away.

  𝐈𝐈𝐈. Despite that she can be pretty caring when she genuinely likes someone. She’d do the occasional check up and remind them to take care of themselves in her own special (read: lowkey agressive) way.

  𝐈𝐕. Her favorite color is plum and she hates red ever since she was turned. Surprisingly she really likes cutesy, animated movies and The fox and the hound is her all time favorie. ALSO!! She really loves jazz and she is a huge Frank Sinatra fan.

  𝐕. Grumpy cat embodied and she doesn’t quite understand memes. If you tell her a pun she will punch you in the face. 

  𝐕𝐈 . If you click here you will be redirected to her pinterest board !! There are TWs in the description so, again, please proceed with caution.

W A N T E D   C O N N E C T I O N S

I am such a sucker for strong platonic bonds!! Loraine is really unfriednly but if for some reason your character has decided to put up with that, I’d love for her to have some friends (especially if they have been friends for a long time)

fHFH any familial relationships, too!!

Also,, I would really love to have the vampire that saved her all those years back. She’s got a lot of respect and admiration for them and, tbh, she would probably follow them to the ends of the world? It can go a lot of ways so yeah!

ENEMIES. Please! She’s horrible so I need some people who dislike her.

Another classic one: friend(s?) with benefits mayhaps.

Maybe some people who she’s decided to take under her wing and decided to adopt a big sister sort of role with them?

That Seokjin, don’t get me started on him. He’s worked hard to open and run that bakery of his, you know, and I’m so proud that it’s so successful now. Wish he would find a nice person to settle down with, though, he deserves it, as long as he’s been on his own. Well, I guess you can’t really call it alone when he’s got that grump of a best friend always hanging around him. He really should be paying her, what with all the time she spends at the bakery with him. She’s always waking up on the wrong side of the bed, but she’s not so bad when she brings me some of those cookies of his, or just around Seokjin in general, if I’m honest.

Story for mostlycowandpigtfs

When you got home you were ready to just settle in, relax, have something to eat, and then maybe sit down on the couch with your girlfriend to watch a movie together before getting to bed. You looked around to find her when she burst through the door with a bag that said weirdo's magic shop. You asked her "What did buy?" She had a smile going across her face " its a board game I wanna play with you its called Circe's island and its a turn based game where your character has to find a certain chest to escape the island. The guy at the shop said that it just lying around the shop and just let me have it. Can we play it now?" She said this  with an great deal of enthusiasm but, you had a hard day and just wanted to unwind. "I don't know. I'm kinda tired." She started to lookpretty disappointed which played on your heart strings a bit. Holding the box close to her chest she looked up at you with her pretty eyes. "Oh please I really wanna play this game with you." Now sitting at the table with the game set out in front of you. "So how does the game work?" She sat across from you reading the instructions. " So like I said before the goal is to escape the island before. To do that we have to find the chest that has the bag that holds the four winds while also, avoiding the trap chest. Its kind of like battleship each turn we pick a tile and flip it over to see if its a blank, trap or the four winds. Its says we're playing to beat Circe, our characters will start to change as we find traps, and that the game won't end until one of us gets the four winds." You looked over the board at the nummorus tiles. " ok so who goes first?" She pulled a coin from her pocket. "I'll be tails." She fliped the coin into the air onto the table showing tails. "Yes I get to go first!" She picked a tile close to the center. "Dang it!" It was blank "Hahaha you didn't think you would on your first turn did you?" She crossed her arms. "Hmph well lets see you try." You flipped the tile closest to you again blank. "Ha see not so easy is it?" You couldn't help but laugh at her competitiveness and her mild tantrums. "Haha well we just started. Lets keep going." The two of you went back and forth turning blanks for a couple minutes. " Dang it I can't believe we haven't found that stupid bag yet." You were more surprised neither of you found a trap after flipping so many tiles. " Oh well. Maybe this time." She reached over to flip another tile revealing a trap. "Oh no! dang it that sucks." She slumped back in her chair. "I wonder what's going to happen to your character." She sat back up leaning over the table. "Well since we're playing against Circe, she'll probably start to change into a pig like in the odyssy." She was pretty sharp when it came to Greek mythology. "Huh I wonder how we keep track." She looked up from the board. "That's a good ... Oohf! What the heck?" She turned to look behind her. "Oh my God what's going on!" She turned her back towards you. Her butt now stretching the seams of her shorts. "Aaahhh its still growing!" Just then her shorts took all they could and riped to shreads, along with her panties. It had to be at least three times the size it was before. "Uhhhh its so gross! Look at this thing!" Then something started to push out of the base of her spine and it started to curl. She grabbed a hold of her new assets as if to push it back in. " I freaking have a tail now!? A girl shouldn't have a butt like this, it's huge!" You watched as her butt jiggled as she frantically moved about as well as her new tail bouncing around just above it. You didn't even noticed yourself smiling. " This isn't funny! Why don't you take your turn already!" She was obviously embarrassed. "Shouldn't we stop and do something about... well... that."  You pointed at her new backside. " No remember the game isn't over until one of us win so, until then we have to keep playing so I can get back to normal now take your turn." Agreeing with her logic you reluctantly took your turn. It was blank. " Awww no fair!" "Well it's your turn now." She was visibly upset that you didn't get a trap. "Fine!" She reached over and turned a title close to you. Maybe to get some of your luck. It was a trap. "Aww now what going to happen!" She looked up and down her body looking for a change. "Uh oh." You said noticing her nose flatten turning into a snout and her ears starting to become pink floppy pig ears began to poke through her dark hair. "What's uh oh." She said looking slightly frightened. "You should look at the mirror." She quickly ran to the bathroom to see her pig like features. She let out a squeel as she turned on the light. She soon came back. " Take *grunt* your turn *oink!*" You reached over and turned a tile. Trap. "*Reeeeaaak* Yes! Finally!" You started to feel warm all over your lower body. You could feel it swelling. Suddenly you felt a surge and you too busted from your pants and had grown a curly tail of your iwn. But it wasn't over yet. You started to feel the warm sensation in your groin, you griped the edge of the table and spread your legs. Your girlfriend watched from behind as your testicles started to swell, sagging near your knees. Meanwhile your cock started to resemble a corkscrew. You turned to face the half sow. " Happy. Now take your turn." She came towards the table and as she passed by you she flicked your cock which was now sensitive you nearly feel to your hands and knees."well *oink* here it goes." She turned over another trap. She started moan as she feel her her chest then undid her bra. "Ooooohhhhh this one feels *grunt* nice." That's when her breast busted out of her shirt along with six new ones to match. "Ohh now I feel bloated and heavy.... I think I *REEAAK* know what's coming next." Her belly was now round and fat the shirt she was wearing was now in ribbons, leaving her naked. "Your turn *GRUNT GRUNT*" she said this in a way that made you think she was starting to enjoy this. You reached over almost hoping for another trap. Your wish was made. You quickly fall on all fours while rapidly gaining weight, your hands and feet becoming hooves. Your head being the only remaining evidence of your humanity. "Oh my god *GRUNT GRUNT* if we go much further we'll be full on *REEEAKK* pigs!" She said through her squeals. She apoached the board for what she was sure would be her last chance to reclaim her former self and flip a tile......Trap. "Oh god *REEAAK* this bad...noooo! *GRUNT GRUNT* not want be dumb fat sow *REEAAK*! Must hold *oink* on!" But she knew it was in vain, she then drop to all fours her arms and legs becoming shorter fatter versions of them selves, her fingers and toes fusing together into hooves like your own, her neck and cheeks thickened with fat and her face was stretching out into a muzzle. "Up you now.....mind slipping...... GRUNT GRUNT REEAAKK OINK OINK!!!!! " You now were face to face with a fat, dumb, sow who used to be your beautiful, bright, girlfriend an hour ago. Now it was your turn and it all rested on your now pig shoulders. You traughted over to the table and clumsy tried to flip a tile in hope of beating Circe......Trap. You felt your human thoughts flee from your mind as your new boar thoughts replaced them. Your snout shot out in front of you and your words became nothing but a series of grunts and squeals your attention was now focused on the sow eager as she ever was before.... for breeding.

Flaunt Magazine 2004 interview

David Fincher – “It goes kind of like, ‘How   can you tell when Jared is lying? His lips are moving.’”

Rock & Roles –

Flaunt Magazine, by Shari Roman

December 2004

“This is fantastic,” murmurs Jared Leto as the relentless Moroccan   sun sears destiny into his bronzed, bare skin. He is sweating under his tight  armor. His dark horse, Mateo, quivers beneath him and paws the ground nervously. A signal is given.

Leto howls a great animalistic yowl straight from his belly to the ears of   the gods. There is another howl, then another. Thousands of voices fuse into   one animal cry. A legion of alpha males surges forward to meet the enemy, Leto,   blond hair hair streaming past his shoulders, muscular thighs gripped bareback   on his galloping horse, rides hard into the thick of a bloody combat. His sword   cuts through all who oppose him.

This is the filming of Oliver Stone’s Alexander and the legendary battle of   Gaugamela, Alexander’s greatest victory over the Persians - a turning point   in his conquest of the known world. Stone’s sweeping historical saga charts   the life and the legend of one of the greatest figures in world history. The   story is an epic that is a daring and ambitious as its subject, a relentless   conqueror who, by the age of 32, had amassed the greatest empire the world hade   ever seen.

Through the clouds of dust, Leto can see Colin Farrell as Alexander the Great,   his massive blade slicing into flesh and sinew. There is the director, Oliver   Stone, shouting, moving rapidly behind the camera line. There are hordes of   men bellowing, bleeding, bodies everywhere. On the fringes lurks famed military   trainer and Stone cohort, Captain Dale Dye. Today, the Captain isn’t wearing   his favorite T-shirt emblazoned with the motto: “Pain is weakness leaving   the body,” but Leto needs no reminders.

Leto has always propelled himself into physical extremes to live inside a character.   As the champion runner Steve Prefontaine, he bled his feet to the bone. In the   drug-fueled Requiem For A Dream, he reportedly swore off sex (with then girlfriend,   Cameron Diaz) and lost 28 pounds to play a junky. Then there was Fight Club   (he’d been recommended for the part his friend, fellow pretty boy, Brad Pitt.),   in which he begged to have his angelic face beaten to a pulp by a jealous Ed   Norton to prove his fealty. Suffering, pain, causality, creation through transformation.   Leto has pledged himself above and beyond to those epithets years ago.

“Killing people face to face for a living, that was their job,” explains   a laidback Leto a few months later from a low-key restaurant in Southern California.   It’s early afternoon. His clothing is relaxed and he looks pleasantly tired.

“It’s not jet lag. I’m over that. I just couldn’t sleep.” It’s not   due to time spent with his (purported) new, luscious It-girl Scarlett Johansson.   He’s been concentrating on working on some new songs for his band, 30 Seconds   To Mars, taking meetings between rehearsals before he heads off to New York   and South Africa for three months to play another aggressor of sorts - an arms   dealer - in the film Lord of War, with Nicolas Cage and director Andrew Niccol   (Gattaca).

He is still pretty tan, making those pioneering blue eyes even more startling.   His long, blonde warrior-god locks are gone now, dyed and clipped into a light   brown Erik Estrada-style shag for the new movie. But there is still a trace   of the Irish lilt he took on for Alexander. (Aside from gearing it toward Farrell’s   natural tones, Stone’s rationale for the accent was that historically, the Macedonians   were to the Greeks what the Irish have been to the English.) Most of the 15   pounds of muscle weight that he strapped on for the six-month shoot has slipped   from his slim frame. Even so, the intensity of that experience is still on his   mind and in his body.

“The film has plenty of f***ing and fighting and killing and death and   blood. My job was to murder people and stand by Alexander.” who, according   to history, was his best friend since childhood, and his lover.

“Hephaestion, the character I play, and [Alexander] have a really special   connection. It’s a strong, strong relationship. I don’t think there is a term   we have today to define their relationship,” he says, deliberately muddling   around the oft-asked erotic question.

Farrell says, “There was no term for 'bisexuality’. It was just the way   society was. People made love to men and women. It was only later on you had   to pick one side of the fence.”

“But I promise you, in the film,” Leto teases, despite the magnetic   charms of Farrell, and costars Rosario Dawson and Angelina Jolie, who play Alexander’s   wife and mother, “the only kiss I gave out was to my horse. My one true   love.”

He takes the tape recorder and places it gently against his chest, which holds   within it the soul of a man who many have tried to reveal before. “I always   tell the truth. What else do you want to know? What do people really want to   know? What is the truth?” His face is a pure cheeky choir boy dare. “When   have I ever not told you the truth? How can you tell that I’m lying?”

I remind him that the last time we met, he told me he owned three Uzis, that   the first girl he kissed was a 47-year-old tranny named Jorge, that he was 19,   raised by circus performers, and that he studied art at the American University   of Paris for a semester, but was booted out when he wouldn’t give in to the   attentions of the headmaster. And he wouldn’t back down to any of those “facts”.

He laughs. “Really? As Ronald Regan used to say, 'I have no memory of   saying such things.’ ”

Says producer/director David Fincher, who worked with Leto on both Fight Club  and Panic Room, “When it comes to his acting, he is beyond method. He gets  into this whole image of his character. It is interesting how that kind of pain and sacrifice can translate. I mean, look at Requiem. I wish I had 100 Jareds   working for me. He was amazing.

"Jared definitely strives not to be a victim of his genetics. On the films   we did together, he was the guy who is constantly curious, the one you couldn’t bottle up. The one who wouldn’t hit his mark. He was like, 'Hey, I’m living it! Over here!’ But he does like to tell stories. It goes kind of like, 'How can you tell when Jared is lying? His lips are moving.’ ”

Leto, who prefers to see his playful fibbing as a way to keep his private life   private, was born the day after Christmas, 33 years ago, in Bossier City, Louisiana. His mother was an artistic soul, and with his father out of the picture, he and his brother, Shannon (who is also in 30 Seconds To Mars), traveled a great deal while they were growing up. After a stint at New York’s School of Visual Arts, he says, he came to Los Angeles around 12 years ago with a couple hundred bucks in his pocket, no friends, and nowhere to stay. For awhile, he slept on Venice Beach. Then kaboom! a role on television’s My So-Called Life (opposite Claire Daines) and for the next few years, he reigned as a teen pinup - a tag   and a look he has been successfully living down ever since.

According to Leto, “Luck is the residue of destiny.” It’s a phrase   he’s heard which he likes very much. He feels it means that we can get caught up in so many things, but the world has what it has for us. That, in our natural state, everything is the way it’s supposed to be - free and joyous - and that our own insecurities get in the way of all that. It’s an idea which could be   applied to his early life.

“When I was young, all that traveling was exciting,” says Leto. “You   do develop an ability to read people more quickly. You have to learn to adapt to whatever comes along, to survive. Maybe the way I grew up is why I’m drawn to acting, to different characters. From film to film, I’m constantly finding myself, reaching different places outside and inside myself. I want to change, to morph into something else.” To be able to do that for Oliver Stone is a gift, says Leto. “He is one of my f***ing heroes. He is a great man. Present, connected, very physical. I find his way very endearing.”

To work with Stone, he traveled to Morocco, where the oncoming sunset had turned the world orange, into the color of dark rust. But the sky was growing dark, the golden scorpions were scuttling under the rocks, another sandstorm was moving toward the camp, fast.

Within moments, Leto, wearing his usual training gear - a T-shirt, tight shorts,   boots covering his calves - couldn’t see two feet ahead of him. The sand whipped raw against his skin as he made for his tent. Inside, he tightened the flap and listened to the wind howl. He had switched off his cell phone, his e-mail. He hadn’t spoken to anyone in the U.S. for months. Apocalyptic fantasies crowded his brain. Many in the cast had already been horribly sick. There was a virus in the dust. His tent was next door to the latrine and he could hear cast and crew heave by the dozens.

One night, Leto got so sick, he thought he was going to toss a spleen.“I lay in bed for a couple of hours staring at the stars, just breathing really   slow, willing it away. I fell asleep dreaming strange, surreal dreams. When   I woke up, it was gone. That’s the desert.”

Says Dawson, “It was beyond primal, all those men bonding - horse training,   fighting, all buffed up wearing nearly nothing. And as soon as a woman came   on set, the energy was so damn erotic.

"One time Jared came to visit the hotel [where women stayed]. He was so   happy to be there. He got to take a shower, have some proper food.So he’s talking, sitting there, and just sort of adjusting the package, not sexually, but in   this slow, languorous way, like there was no one else around.It was all suited   to his character, but I was like, 'Hey dude…’

"And he was like, 'I’m sorry! We’re out there in our underwear and boots   all the time… maybe it’s got us a little too relaxed.’ Maybe. But it was all   good.” She bats her eyes.“It was wonderful being around that kind of really masculine environment.”

“Oh, Rosario,” responds Leto, “she is so beautiful. Such a great   woman.” He drops his head, smiling, not exactly asking for forgiveness.“Working on Alexander was an amazing experience. It’s all about connectivity. There is an old saying that the greatest leader is the servant of them all. Meaning, you are the most powerful when you are giving.”

“I think that as an artist, in any kind of expression of creation, that   you must have to be in love with the process. It is the most exciting part of the work, and that if you have a desire for greatness, you will have to be willing to f***ing bleed. I think it’s true for me.That’s what drives me.”

He claps his hands over his face. “F***. People are going to read this   and think, 'What the f***? Is weirdo Leto on crack? Hitting the old acid tab again.’ But honestly, it’s what I believe. One of my favorite things about getting older is that my intuition is often wrong.To me, it means I’m uncovering something   new about the world.

Epic Seven RPG Review

Probably one of the best looking Hero-Collector RPGs, Epic Seven was available solely in Asia for the first few months of release but is available for the English speaking market for a few months now and the feedback is entirely positive. There are but a few in-depth overviews on the web so let’s have a go at this seemingly new generation of turn-based, hero collector, RPG, action, and what-not game.

Smilegate Megaport Overcool NotAFool?

Smilegate is developing video games since 2002 and has over half a dozen subsidiaries, including for investment and entertainment. Epic Seven was nurtured by their Smilegate Megaport section, but it doesn’t matter much because the whole company’s priority is video gaming, publishing, and social contribution. They are based in South Korea, the place from where all the gaming myths and legends come from, and they make PC, mobile, and virtually all other platform games there are.

They are behind such titles as CrossFire, SoulWorker, Lost Ark, SkySaga: Infinite Isles, ChaosMasters, and more… It appears they have a particular tendency to not leave any space in-between the titles of their games.

Epic Seven Looks AMAZING!

The game naturally looks up to the new generation of anime-friendly game modeling, with their own contribution in the incredibly detailed character appearance and overall mechanics that flash over the entire screen like Christmas, only better.

The best thing about it are probably the cutscenes, which are in fact done like short animes. So, there are these entire animated movies that tell the tale and introduce the player with the characters and the plot. And, before you start thinking that these are maybe some animations similar to motion comic style or something like that, you need to realize they are actually fully developed anime, with animation quality that matches Attack On Titan, for example.

The rest of the game looks amazing as well, with artful backgrounds that really help put the atmosphere to the play. Every detail visible on your screen has got its light and shadow rendered to perfection. Every character model has its unique appearance and style, and all are quite distinctive giving new players easy time to get to know the story fast. Spells, animations, and virtually everything in this game lights up in a way that it will bring satisfaction to even the most demanding soul.

Who better to tell the tale but the Asians?

Since the game has only recently become available for the English speaking market, the story was fairly unknown to players who still managed to get the game via some assistant client. The initial plot resembles Greek Mythology in terms of personifications of the divine.

So the Gods are at war and this Celestial conflict already claimed many lives and victims. One of those victims is Orbis, who was also supposedly the lover of Diche, a goddess with the power of creation.

Diches sorrow and sadness for the death of her love makes her create an entire world on his lifeless body, which is the world we as players begin on. Diche then pledges to abandon the Celestial war and entirely dedicate herself to watching over her new creation. – the Orbis-land.

Ilryos, a friend of both Diche and the deceased Orbis, attempts to snap Diche out of her sorrow-stricken trans and urges her to aid them in the ongoing conflict. His methods become violent, as he sends out his own Arch-Demon to attack the Orbis-land and destroy the what he calls illusion Diche is preoccupied with.

In return, Diche creates a superhuman called Ras, who is donned the ‘great heir’ title and she also creates 4 of his subjects, the lesser heirs.

These lesser heirs are normal beings in the Orbis-land, who help Ras fight the Arch-Demon. They are given the power to do so, like the power of rebirth (but without the memory of their previous life).

When all guardians fall, the entire world resets, and only Ras keeps the memory of what transpired, which is an interesting way to incorporate the usual gaming system to the story. It is not anything out of the ordinary, but at least they took the time and effort to fuse the story and the gameplay together.

Epic Seven Gameplay

As the title suggests, Epic Seven is an animated, Online, RPG, turn-based, action game that takes its core gameplay from familiar games such as Summoners War. Here you move your team of 3 guardians, all with 3 unique abilities, and encounter demons in the Orbis-land you need to destroy. The character progression is naturally present in all aspects of the game, as well as the other familiar mechanics such as items, special attacks, combos, etc…

During the off-stage of the game, you Heroes chill in the tavern, where you can apply all the usual stuff, like buffs, potions, items, special boosts, packs, level them up, and everything you all are quite familiar with, no doubt.

The damage sources in this game, however, do not just have the usual rock/paper/scissors mechanics and are entirely unique and independent, only relying on your skill, character progression, and damage type like magic or physical.

You collect the usual stuff, like resources, gems, crystals, and use them to purchase various upgrades for your characters, like runes, weapons, ability boosts, and stuff. An especially welcomed addition in Epic Seven is the initiative bar, placed on the left side of the screen by default. It lets you know the order in which the characters will have their moves in combat. This was lacking in many titles in similar genres so far.

A complete hit!

Epic Seven is taking over the English speaking market fast and with a good reason. It is a beautiful game, with a fusion of several highly popular genres, and all that is packed in an incredibly progressive environment. Everything other similar games lack, South Koreans did right and it is no surprise. The game has a 4.8-Star rating in the App Store (6.8K votes) and 4.3 on Google Play (94K votes) which proves its awesomeness. Epic Seven is easy to pick up but offers endless content and quite a rewarding experience, so it comes highly recommended!

10 Best Snapchat Influencers

Every social media platform has a group of users that stand out from the rest of the crowd and set standards in their respectful niches. Today we are looking at the best ten from Snapchat.

Snapchat, as one of the youngest major social media platforms, is at the moment very close to the top of the list when it comes to the content view and user engagement. While Facebook and Instagram still dominate the online world, big brands and companies are turning to Snapchat to get their message delivered to the younger audience since the majority of this platform’s users are millennials and teenagers.

Big or up and coming brands are turning to influencers, platform users that are well known in the community for the content that they are putting out to cover as much network as possible. This is usually a very good option to get the name out since regular users do care about what influencers say and promote.

Just in case you are not familiar with the way this platform works; it is a place where users upload content in the form of pictures or short videos that are getting removed by the server after twenty-four hours. Some users decide to keep their content hidden, but you can use insta snapspy app to get around this, and the result is a fast-paced, high-engagement social media network with a lot of fun stuff.

In the next part of the blog post, we put together a list of some of the hottest influencers on the Snapchat. They worked with some of the biggest names in the industry like Nike, Disney, and Starbucks so you should definitely check them out.

Frankie Greek

This New York-based “Snapchat journalist” is specialized in Snapchat Takeovers and in developing social media marketing plans for brands and media companies. With a background in television and radio, it’s not that hard to see why she has such a strong voice on this platform. Her storyteller style is a perfect match with Snapchat’s short form videos, and that is why her client list includes Fuse, Fox, and Thrillist among others.

CyreneQ

Cyrene is a graphic designer and artist that capitalized on her skills by making fun and creative doodles that made her one of the most popular Snapchat’s influencers. She was featured in Cosmopolitan, New York Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, and Entertainment Weekly among others and was nominated as a finalist for the Snapchatter of the Year Shorty Award two years ago. Her major occupation on Snapchat is developing and strategizing content for brands.

Evan’s client list on Snapchat is something else. It includes companies and brands like National Basketball Association, AT&T, Disney, NBC and Disney among others, and Evan worked with them as a marketing consultant for Snapchat. He is a former mechanical engineer and is based in Boston. Besides from working for other companies as a consultant, Evan is using Snapchat to publish his artwork.

Geir Ove Pedersen

Geir is a Snapchat artist and illustrator that gained an amazing hundred thousand followers on this platform by using his artistic skills to turn everyday pictures into funny and extraordinary scenes. This kind of content and popularity landed him some pretty amazing deals with Starbucks, Air France, and Walt Disney World, just to name a few.

Brittany Furlan

Brittany Furlan is a Los Angeles-based Snapchatter that was nominated by the Time Magazine as one of the most influential people on the internet back in two thousand fifteen. She became an internet celebrity mostly through Vine where her hilarious sense of humor came into play. Her large following base and type of content got her to the place where she was able to work with worldwide brands like Wendys, Reebok, and Trident.

Christian Colins

At the age of twenty, Christian is already making a buzz on social media platforms, from Youtube to Snapchat. His content is usually full of vlog-type videos, music related videos and challenges.

Christine MI

The nickname that this young artist got on this platform is “Picasso of Snapchat,” and if you look at her snaps and stories, everything is going to be perfectly understandable. Her content is full of beautiful self-portrait “paintings.” Her talent got her in the position to work with some of the biggest names in the world like Coca-Cola, UNICEF, Disney, T-Mobile, and others.

Amanda Cerny

Amanda Cerny first got her celebrity status on Vine and Youtube, and that helped her to get attention on the Snapchat that lead to the status of one of its biggest stars. Based in LA, this former Playboy Playmate is pursuing her acting career at the moment, staring in the movie called “Airplane Mode.” Interesting fact about Amanda is that she runs an organization that is building children playgrounds and is called Play Foundation.

King Bach

Andrew B. Bachelor is another Vine superstar that successfully transitioned to Snapchat. His short video uploads gathered him an incredible sixteen million followers on Vine with over six billion video views and since Snapchat has similar content to Vine with longer videos, King Bach’s success was never in doubt. His online fame gave him the opportunity to star in television shows and movies. Some of them are “Fifty Shades of Black,“ “The Opportunity,” and “The Mind Project.”

Logan Paul

Logan Paul also started on Vine and managed to get millions upon millions followers across all major social platforms; Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. His content is delivered through short-form videos full of comedy, and the stats show that he is more than successful in his craft. Some of the big names that recognized Logan’s talent and decided to work with him are Dunkin’ Donuts, Pepsi, and Nike, but the list doesn’t stop there.

Looking back at the list that we made for you, one thing stands out. All of the influencers migrated to the Snapchat from other social media platforms because they realized what kind of potential this platform has and what kind of powerhouse it already is.
