Two concepts I’m trying to settle down on with the ghostly trio in their early years as living kids:
With Silvester having a strange eye from birth, I’m sure his parents forced him to wear dark glasses that completely obscured people from seeing it. And with him being alienated and declared the odd one? He got the feeling of being ashamed of it. That is until Simon comes along and gets himself a pair so Silvester doesn’t feel alone. Hell, Franklin joins in and boom! Now neither of them can feel alone.
The second one is to the same effect, only Silvester and Simon share the same odd eye. With Simon’s eye, however, his is only a different color. A color that some would put it as simply unnatural and evil. His eyes in certain lights can look violet, but other than that? It was perfectly healthy. Even so, their family didn’t think so.
I can also think that with Silvester with being shamed for his eye, he probably had a moment where he nearly stabbed into it. And just before he could go through with it, Simon and Franklin get to him and take the sharp object he had in his hand away. He really wasn’t going to go through with it, but gosh it felt nice to have been stopped by those two. Because who knows what could’ve happened.

Reader annoying panther-billy by calling him things like kitty, puss, silvester? A whole mood, reader hears him coughing and asks for balls of furr, trying to get him into catnip, teasing him by asking if their baby would be a human or a kitten?? I want that man to be mad enough with me to get feral
Warnings: calm, angry Billy, knife kink, use of claws.
He doesn't snap immediately, letting it build until his jaw is clenched and his eyes burn you wherever they touch.
The last straw would be drawing whiskers on him while he sleeps with waterproof eyeliner.
Billy usually wakes up before you do, always a little eager to have a cup of coffee waiting for you when you wake. This morning though, when he sees the way you've vandalised his face, it's the final straw.
You wake up, and you're confused when you can't move your arms. Your eyes widen when you find that your arms and legs are cuffed to the bed.
The sound of a knife being unsheathed draws your attention. Your boyfriend sits at the edge of the bed, shirtless, examining the knife in his hand slowly, before turning to look at you.
"I've been so lenient. Maybe too lenient, and it's time you pay the price."
You're not even remotely afraid.
"Yeah kitty? And what's the price-" you gasp in shock as he's hovering over you in the next instant.
He presses the knife to your cheek, and you hiss at the cold scratch of metal. He works the dull end over your skin, moving lower until the blade rests flat against your chest.
"I can smell how aroused you are, I can hear the way your heart beats faster." You barely flinch as he slams the knife through the wooden headboard above you, your mouth only parting with delight as you watch the way his arm flexes.
"I can see your pupils dilate, and feel how hot your body is getting."
He hovers his hand above your face, the other still braced against the headboard. You watch as the nail on his index finger extends, until there's a feline claw in its place.
"I can give your pretty body-" the claw dips under your nightdress, puncturing the silky fabric, "-everything it craves." His hand pulls upward, tearing the silk between your breasts and you gasp as your cleavage spills out. The corner of his mouth lifts and his tongue snakes out to lick his lips.
"And yet you're so mean to me."
You moan as he rolls his thumb over one of your nipples.
"Maybe I want a reaction, kitty." You stutter out.
He growls, in warning. And you moan wantonly at the almost feral look that takes over his face for a second.
He doesn't say anything, but your feel his warm hand trail down your body, his claw disappearing as his fingers trail gently over your thighs. He takes his time, moving up to cup your bare pussy.
Your mouth parts at the feel of his hands, cupping at your core and then trailing over your thighs until there's a fire burning low in your belly and you're hoping he touches your clit soon.
"Tell me," he says in thought, "Do all mean girls like you have achey little pussies like yours?"
"I'm looking at an achey little pussy right now- ah!"
You cry out when he pinches your clit hard, struggling to get your breathing under control as the pain dissolves into pleasure.
Your eyes meet his accusingly, and he grins, his canines elongated into sharp points.
"I am gonna break you into little pieces, baby." He says, in such a dark and seductive way that you can only moan one word.
"Pleasee."

Location-
Lěiňsí, Vïnałat Išä (Formerly)
Hypëřbøřiän Váił (Current)
Abilities-
Shifting; She can shift into a black lioness
Phasing; Due to her phantom genetics Rosemarie can phase through solid objects at will.
Forbidden Ancient black magic; Her magic is inherited from he mother, Polyxena. She is quite skilled at using it.
Heightened sense of smell; Due to her Vampiric and dragon blood as well as being a lion shifter her sense of smell is increased significantly.
Superhuman hearing; Due to her blood linage and being a lion shifter her hearing is heightened.
Inhuman speed; Rosemarie was by far one of the swiftest of the Hypëřbøřiän's.
Night vision; her vampiric blood allows her to see in the dark. The only downside is that her eyes glow.
Aura sight; Rosemarie can see the auras of those around her and can single out a single aura for tracking purposes.
Afflictions-
Blood rage; is a variation of bloodlust. Due to her vampiric blood, Rosemarie doesn't need to consume blood like her father but she does need to consume raw flesh at least once a month.
Black rose curse; this curse makes her very bitter and jealous of those who have mates. It appeared when she was quite young. Its appearance is that of black vines with black roses along the vines all over her body and there are a few that a visible on her face.
Appearance-
Rosemarie is a woman of above-average height with long wavy black hair, glowing bright green eyes, slightly pointed ears, and sharp teeth. She has a scar that goes over the bridge of her nose, one on her cheek, and one over he left eye.
Info-
Rosemarie is a loving and protective mother and mate. The fathers of her two sets of twins(Lucy/Lumír and Chara/Neith) are unknown due to them ditching her while she was pregnant with their newlings.
She is one of the five surviving souls of the empire's fall. The others being Jørgan, Reidar, Restus, and Azura. This was due to her, Reidar, and Jørgan being on the mainland doing other things.
At some point centuries before the fall of the empire, Rosemarie and Jørgan were mates. During that time they conceived a son, Wolfe.
The reason for their marriage ending was due to Jørgen getting more and more protective to the point where the wolves under his command were ordered to keep Rosemarie and Wolfe in their den and not let them leave. This was due to a threat from enemies who threatened to kidnap young Wolfe and kill him. To Jørgan, this threat extended to Rosemarie as well. She was worried that her mother, father, and brother were going to hurt Jørgan if he got any worse.
Rosemarie still cares greatly for Jørgan as proven by the fact that she hunted down and killed Zora shortly after he stole Ulfric and Lana from her in 1570. Saying that he didn't even remember sleeping with her nor would he ever due to Zora being an enemy.
The fight with Zora ended with Zora dying and Rosemarie getting wounds that weakened her drastically. She got worse during the stressful pregnancy and birth of Chara and Neith on October 3rd, 1600.
Sometime in the late 1640's Rosemarie passed due to those wounds she received in the 1570s fighting Zora. Then she ascended to the Hypëřbøřiän Váił where she became the goddess of lions.

Chitra is the 14th Nakshatra. It half of it falls into Virgo the other half falls into Libra. It is ruled by Mars. Here Mars does not so much show his side of being a soldier but rather the dissecting energy of Mars is expressed in Chitra. Mars rules all the sharp things and can do dissect thing and see what is inside. Therefore Mars is also associated with engineering and understanding of technology and mechanics. In Chitra, this practical scientific side of Mars is expressed in the realm of beauty. In the Virgo part, that has Mercurian Energy, its more about technology and, speech and in the Libra part, this more is about relationships and beauty. Mars makes here the approach very sophisticated. A Flipside of Chitra can be, that they want to have recognition for their skills and beauty. On the other hand, it can give recognition and fame. Silvester Stelon and Justin Biber have Chitra in their Chart and could become overnight sensations. People are glowing, and attractive. The Symbol is a Diamond or a Pearl. Both are created in the depth of the ocean or the earth, in a secret chamber away from the surface. That shows that Chitra Natives can have thus very deep realizations, that can suddenly spark. Fueled with this sudden inspiration they can become very creative. If you do not know where your planets are placed, you can DM me. Repost from Instagramm: https://www.instagram.com/p/B4HkyHaHl1g/

3838: The genie they want back in the bottle - Sydney Morning Herald
New Post has been published on https://harryandmeghan.xyz/3838-the-genie-they-want-back-in-the-bottle-sydney-morning-herald/
3838: The genie they want back in the bottle - Sydney Morning Herald
Tumblr media
At the meeting some asked why they had not been given the chance either in the Supreme or High courts to defend their actions.
A senior officer told them the court action was only ever about trying to protect 3838 from gangsters, who traditionally have zero tolerance for betrayal. The royal commission, he said, would be the chance to explain why they used the lawyer’s inside knowledge in some of the state’s most sensitive investigations.
Tumblr media
Someone had blundered: The Charge of the Light Brigade as depicted by Richard Caton Woodville, 1894.
The meeting was told that all dealings with her were taped, the notes were intact and the Informer Management Unit’s so-called ‘‘sterile corridor’’, where a human source officer was the bridge between informer and investigators, was maintained.
Whether their optimistic appraisal is based on fact or simply the rev-up before the equivalent of the Charge of the Light Brigade, will be a matter for the royal commission.
At the heart of the controversy is a clear philosophical divide between two arms of the criminal justice system – lawyers and police. Lawyers claim the barrister’s obligation to maintain confidentiality meant police should never have used her information. Police argue they broke no laws in using her as a source and had an obligation to use any material they could to stop the underworld war.
What we now know is she was not alone. Police say there were up to seven other informers who have provided information, which may breach professional privilege. While they are not all lawyers, Melbourne solicitors and barristers who work in the criminal law have been in a flat spin since the news broke.
Loading
Some are concerned they could have been registered without their knowledge years earlier, even though they had not provided confidential information. Others fear that violent clients who were found guilty might jump to the conclusion that their lawyers conspired with the police against them. They may add two and two and reach for a .38 pistol.
The main issue will be whether some of 3838’s clients did not get fair trials, or were forced to plead guilty on the back of tainted evidence.
While the nature, value and legitimacy of her information will be examined by the royal commission (there are already murmurings that the July deadline for an interim report may be too tight), what is established is that she was spectacularly ill-suited to being a double agent.
For years she refused police security, preferring to hide in plain sight, and while the underworld knows her name she had managed to live a relatively normal life in open society.
This has now changed. Former colleagues shun her, she is blackballed by some relatives and parents in her social circle are turning away, not wanting their children in potential danger. Her way of life is collapsing.

Since losing the High Court case in December, police have been trying to perform a massive magic trick. They are attempting to make 3838 disappear, at least from the public records. Many of the online stories that can track her have gone, property records with her name have been sealed and photos buried. Legally, they are trying to put a very identifiable genie in a very anonymous bottle. Like a Soviet leader who is out of fashion, it is as if she didn’t exist.
So this is what we can say without increasing the risks or breaching suppression orders (gulp).
Her family is the template of a successful migrant dynasty, succeeding in the restaurant and legal trades. A student at an elite girl’s school, her father died when she was a teenager. She was determined to experience all sides of Melbourne University life, dabbling in student newspapers and embracing left-wing politics while passing her law degree.
Even then she either gravitated to bad company or began to make a series of poor choices when it came to her social network.
Around the halfway point of her degree, she struck what could have been a career-ending hurdle. In 1993 police raided her Rathdowne Street home and seized methamphetamines valued at $82,000, half a kilo of cannabis and prohibited weapons. While two men faced more serious charges, she pleaded guilty to possession and use. No conviction was recorded, allowing her to embark on her legal career.
In 1995, while still a student, she was registered as a police informer. But the system was so flawed that this fact was only discovered accidentally in late January, when a file was found in a cardboard box in police storage.
Tumblr media

Now police have told the royal commission she was also used as an informer in 1999 and five other witnesses who may have breached professional privilege have been identified.
By 1998, as a very young barrister, she had started to construct a brand. In a business dominated by middle-aged men in suits she was a flashy dresser, with a reputation as a hard worker and player. In a profession that frowns on self-promotion, she was happy to drip-feed gossip columnists with naughty girl stories dubbing her a ‘‘hotshot legal eagle”.
Soon after she became a barrister, Melbourne’s underworld went to war on October 13, 1999, when drug dealer Carl Williams was shot and wounded by gangsters Jason and Mark Moran. It was around this time that she registered as an informer for a second time – four years before the Purana Gangland Taskforce was established.
Just months after the taskforce began, she started to secretly meet one of its key investigators. She says she told him of how Williams was trying to control witnesses and of ‘‘solicitors perverting the course of justice and conspiring with criminals to try to ensure a number of gangland murders would remain unsolved’’.
Tumblr media

Around that time she considered leaving the Criminal Bar to open a juice bar in Asia. Instead she went back to her old ways, working and socialising with heavy crooks while secretly talking to police. In September 2005 she again became a registered informer: ‘‘My breaking point came when I was threatened by Tony Mokbel to ensure that a first-time offender, who was operating pill presses and manufacturing tens of thousands of MDMA pills for him, kept his mouth shut and pleaded guilty.’’
Certainly according to another police source, codenamed Witness B, there was such an event, but it was more than two years earlier.
In April 2003, after a Mokbel drug lab was raided in Rye, Witness B and Tony’s brother Horty Mokbel went to a side street near the St Kilda Road Drug Squad office to wait for the arrested men to be released: ‘‘[3838] was there as well, she was coming in and out of the station and she would come and speak to Horty and me around the corner.’’
Witness B claimed Drug Squad detective Paul Dale rang 3838 with the tip that one of the arrested men was considering talking.
Tumblr media
A Mokbel drug lab goes up in smoke. Credit:Pat Scala
‘‘She said that Dale must have realised that [the suspect] was about to start talking about the Rye drug job and who was involved and he wanted to give up everyone. [She] said that Dale then rang her to get her to come and talk to [the suspect]. [She] said that on that day she convinced [the suspect] not to roll [talk].’’
One of the challenges for the royal commission is to establish when 3838 was acting as a barrister, with an obligation to provide confidential and sound legal advice, and when she was acting as a co-conspirator, trying to shut down police investigations and stop witnesses talking.
Certainly the interested parties, including police and senior prosecutors, were surprised when Premier Daniel Andrews announced a royal commission. In the otherwise glacial world of legal process, it was supposed to be short and sharp, reporting by the end of the year.
That aim has already been blown apart by the news that police had up to seven other informers who may have broken privilege. If the inquiry drills back to a cocaine bust nearly 20 years ago, it has the capacity to blow the lid on what was then widespread drug use and improper associations. And if 3838’s initial claim that she provided information on ‘‘solicitors perverting the course of justice and conspiring with criminals’’ is true, the commission could expose the underbelly of both the law enforcement and judicial systems.
Perhaps the royal commission will hear how a well-respected lawyer, tipped off by one gangster, spread the word through the underworld that 3838 was wearing a police wire. Sound legal advice? Or conspiracy to pervert the course of justice?
You be the judge.

HELENA, Mont | Nearly 75 years after the USS Helena was sunk by Japanese torpedoes in the waters off the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific, an expedition team backed by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen reported finding its wreckage
New Post has been published on https://goo.gl/d2EpSW
HELENA, Mont | Nearly 75 years after the USS Helena was sunk by Japanese torpedoes in the waters off the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific, an expedition team backed by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen reported finding its wreckage
HELENA, Mont. | April 18, 2018 (AP)(STL.News)  A Microsoft co-founder’s mission to locate sunken warships in the South Pacific has chalked up another victory with the discovery of the USS Helena nearly 75 years after it was sunk by Japanese torpedoes in the waters off the Solomon Islands, reviving stories of the battle-tested ship’s endurance and the nearly unbelievable survival of 165 of the crewmen.
Paul Allen’s team searches for the ships to “bring the history back into a relevant conversation,” said Janet Greenlee, a spokeswoman for Allen’s Vulcan Inc. “He wants to honor those that have served and are serving.”
The wreckage of the Helena was found March 23, about a half mile (860 meters) below the surface of the New Georgia Sound. The team identified the light cruiser by the number 50 on its side and by comparing the wreck to the USS Helena’s schematics.
In all, more than 730 of the Helena’s crew of 900 survived the July 5, 1943, sinking during the Battle of Kula Gulf.
Most of the crew was rescued out of the water and another group was picked up nearby the next day. But a third group spent nearly five days adrift in life rafts, during which some of the injured died, before the sunburned, dehydrated and emaciated men decided their best chance of survival was to take shelter on Vella Lavella Island.
The shoeless sailors had to walk across a sharp coral reef to get to the jungle island, which they knew was occupied by Japanese troops, Navy gunner’s mate Frank P. Cellozzi of Ohio wrote in a 1984 account. They crawled into the jungle and fell asleep before being awakened by a group of natives wearing loin cloths and carrying spears, Cellozzi wrote.
One spoke enough broken English to make it clear they would help. The natives in some cases carried the Americans into the jungle for miles, stopping occasionally to pick coconuts. The survivors built a latrine and a shelter and the natives escorted them to a freshwater stream where they could bathe, Cellozzi wrote.
An Australian Methodist missionary named A.W.E. Silvester and two other Coastwatchers aided in their care and helped arrange for their middle-of-the-night rescue 12 days after their ship sank. Coastwatchers were intelligence operatives stationed on remote Pacific islands during World War II to observe enemy movements and help rescue stranded troops.
“One of the remarkable stories, not just about the crew and the ship’s service, is the tenacity of the crew after the sinking and being separated,” said Allen’s spokeswoman, Greenlee. “It really does sound like a movie script.”
The USS Helena was the third World War II discovery in less than three weeks by Allen’s R/V Petrel team. The aircraft carrier the USS Lexington was discovered March 4 and the USS Juneau, another light cruiser, was located March 17.
The USS Helena was the second of five vessels named for Montana’s capital city, and was the first ship to receive the Navy Unit Commendation for its role in the World War II battles. It survived a torpedo strike during the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and sunk Japanese vessels in other battles.
A memorial to the USS Helena ships is located in Anchor Park in downtown Helena.

Where did Fairfax go wrong?
Fairfax’s decline has been swift and sharp.
The company had around 1,000 editorial staff in 2011. After the latest round of redundancies announced on Wednesday, which will cut 125 jobs, roughly only 375 editorial staff will remain.
“It’s looking like one quarter of our newsroom will walk out of here in a few weeks’ time,” Miki Perkins, The Age social affairs reporter said.
“All of the sudden all these stories and specialities and expertise that The Age has provided for more than 150 years is again diminished.”
Deborah Snow, a senior writer at The Sydney Morning Herald, said staff “are feeling crushed”.
“They’re apprehensive both for their jobs but they’re also apprehensive about the future of the newsroom as a whole.”
John Silvester, The Age’s crime reporter, said the latest redundancies “might be cutting into the core”.
“Yes The Age is sustainable both in print and online, and we just have to stick to what we do. And that’s a supposed commitment from management to quality journalism.”
The challenges faced by Fairfax aren’t unique. Classifieds, once known as the “rivers of gold” for newspapers, have been cannibalised by online competitors.
But critics say it is not just the changing media landscape which is to blame, and accuse the company of bad management and missed opportunities.
Like investing in The Age Tullamarine printing press, a massive piece of infrastructure, that it then had to sell.
And missing key opportunities like buying into internet giants RealEstate.com.au, Seek.com.au and CarSales.com.au have proved disastrous.
