Ok. Ok. Little background on this for those that aren't Brazilian/don't speak pt: the imperative of Focus is 'Foca', which just so happens to be the same word for seal.

So there's a bunch of these official govt psa's about 'focus on [important thing]' that are just. Like this. Because of that pun

^ specifically traffic safety ones. I saw this guy while taking my traffic knowledge test lol

Today's Seals Are: Focal Point

[houseswife]

wilson saying “I need to do this. for you.” is fucking insane actually. in the same episode where house is deciding whether or not he should commit suicide as a result of wilson’s dying. They are each other’s lines between life and death. humans have a biological instinct to preserve their survival at all costs; house has an addiction that governs his life. but they were willing to forgo all of it for one another, because they couldn’t fathom it being any other way. IM SICK

Okay, well, I was planning to build up some hype, but

Lorehaven Bound: A Hunger Pangs Short is now available on Amazon.

A train ride through the Nevrondian countryside should be a calming proposition, but for Ursula, it isn't. Her thoughts swirl, fixated on one thing... make that two things. Specifically Nathan Northland and Vlad Blutstein. It's not just because they are both breath-stealingly attractive—although to be fair, that doesn't hurt. It's because they surprised her, and Ursula is very rarely surprised.

Even more confounding is her reaction to them, particularly the vampire, Vlad. Just what is she supposed to do about these... feelings?

All Ursula knows is that she doesn't have time for emotions right now. Not when the fate of the world is at stake. She can deal with this later. First, she's got to figure out what story she's going to tell the sure-to-be-furious Alfbern. Then, she needs to catch up on all the sleep she missed before hitting the road again. Surely, she can do those things while being Lorehaven Bound.

This story is a 10,000-word character study/missing moment that takes place immediately after Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites. You will want to read that first if you don't want to be spoiled for the events in that book!

actually i love it when the characters are all lying. i love it when they all have secrets and none of them trust each other. i love being given clues that solve puzzles i haven't even been presented with yet. i also love it when i get chills watching a scene without even knowing what it means, and when i do know what it means, i get even more chills. i love theorizing and thinking and solving and coming up with possibilities of where a story might be going. i love it and i will do it for free, for fun, for no real reason.

this is a mystery appreciation post!! if you appreciate mysteries and secrets and stories that slowly unravel before you, please interact!!!

once you notice how few characters in media have brown eyes it really becomes impossible to not pay attention to it and its been bothering me ever since

"if all these fictional characters were Christian all their problems and dilemmas would be solved" I think rather. They would have a whole new set of problems.

Someone: How do you even know if you and your f/o would get along?

Me, who has mentally thought out each and every single part of their personality and has gone over how they would be in a dynamic between the two of us and how it plays into the bond we would share but explaining it would take too long:

Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites

In a world of dwindling hope, love has never mattered more...

Captain Nathan J. Northland had no idea what to expect when he returned home to Lorehaven injured from war, but it certainly wasn’t to find himself posted on an island full of vampires. An island whose local vampire dandy lord causes Nathan to feel strange things he’d never felt before. Particularly about fangs.

When Vlad Blutstein agreed to hire Nathan as Captain of the Eyrie Guard, he hadn’t been sure what to expect either, but it certainly hadn’t been to fall in love with a disabled werewolf. However Vlad has fallen and fallen hard, and that’s the problem.

Torn by their allegiances–to family, to duty, and the age-old enmity between vampires and werewolves–the pair find themselves in a difficult situation: to love where the heart wants or to follow where expectation demands.

The situation is complicated further when a mysterious and beguiling figure known only as Lady Ursula crashes into their lives, bringing with her dark omens of death, doom, and destruction in her wake.

And a desperate plea for help neither of them can ignore.

Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites by Joy Demorra is a queer, paranormal, gaslamp fantasy romance novel featuring enchanted forests, gothic castles, and just a smidge of industrial coal dust, and is the first book of the Hunger Pangs slow-burn polyamorous romance series. Join Vlad, Nathan, and Ursula as they navigate a magical world torn asunder war and politics as they work to restore balance to the world and find love along the way. Book one is available now in ebook, paperback, and audio.

i love murder mysteries that don't try too hard. realism who cares about realism, a billionaire was murdered in a swimming pool and diamonds are hiding in the champagne ice bucket. here's an abundance of clues, we got initialed handkerchiefs and smashed wristwatches galore, they're all red herrings but gosh they're fun to decorate with. alibis, no one has an alibi, or everyone does and they're all about to tumble like a house of cards, don't overthink it. you want to GUESS the murderer? FUCK OFF, we'll get there when we get there, just enjoy the ride you hussy!!! provides a nice alternative to true crime's voyeuristic "this normal real-life woman you never met was brutally murdered and the guy who did it will never be caught or punished"

— ➤ hello sensitive to loud noises gang . your f/o would try not to make them around you . instead of yelling your name from the other room they will simply come over and get you . they will be extra careful placing heavy objects down . they will go somewhere more quiet with you when you ask them or when they notice somethings wrong and they will help you get your mind off of the thing bothering you in a heartbeat . when theres really no way to avoid harsh sounds they will warn you , maybe even cover your ears if you let them . your comfort is important to them ¡ just like you take care of them , f/o will take care of you .

Part of the issue is how these things are promoted but we really need to understand that based on a true story fiction is never 100% accurate. Whether it's using fiction to fill in gaps, leaving details out for the sake of time/pacing or straight up changing huge aspects of the story there is always fictional aspects of based on a true story fiction. That doesn't mean we should never make this kind of fiction or you shouldn't enjoy it but if your only source of information comes from a fictionalised retelling you need to understand that you do not have good factual information on the topic. Please do not spread misinformation because you saw it in a piece of fiction.
