#but still I love it.

Some thoughts ideas and the likes.

I’m thinking more about my original story, The Story of Theia stories I made, and how I struggle with exploring that vast world by myself mentally. But here are some important bits and pieces about it.

In a world of daemons and humans and magic, people do have wonderful access to medication. It varies but when it comes to certain methods, people can use glamor or get an op to change their physical form. Osiris for example had been through medical surgeries to get too surgery, while Seth can form his body however he likes, despite being male almost all the time. They both just prefer their bodies like that. Other characters don’t need it though if they don’t want it.

The usage of talent, such as creative talent, can definitely affect people, from controlling them or uplift their mood. Sometimes some use their music to bring pain, but some do find comfort in that, even though not many would understand. Ara wants to bring more color to the world with her words, but others want to find the answers their own way, such as Qiu, one of the biggest figures in the story. Also Qiu goes by a few names because I’m struggling to remember his actual name. I’ll figure that out if I ever get around to it. Sometimes I call him Guo though. But pardon btw that I’m misusing another language for names, I’m very ignorant about it, but I want to bring a wide diverse cast into the story.

With that said, there are different regions with different culture beliefs in them. Mostly fantasy based, but I want to show respect to them, despite my ignorance. In a way, I feel like I made a mistake giving Osiris his name, but in universe it’s a name he has chose for himself.

The world itself is kinda self contained in its own stories, but to an extent, it share a similar universe to my other stories, just different planets. Haha! I imagine the Theia cast is physically bigger than the others.

Technology and magic do coexist, much like how daemons and humans do, but like them, there tends to bring conflict. There are risks when it comes to magic but same could be said for technology. Some continents though embrace it, and try to balance both.

The Drifting City was always a thing, that was inspired by a dream I had, and serves a core of Ara’s reason to keep traveling, even though she has been banned from the place. It was hard to smuggle into the city that often drifts across the oceans of Theia, but she sometimes finds a way, despite the risk of being lost in the ocean. (Getting doused in water makes it impossible to use her writing talents.) still, she learned something valuable from the place, and has an unforgettable and traumatic experience. She still likes that place.

Ugh there are so many ideas I want to get into but I can’t. My brain can’t handle writing such a big story by myself. But I do love it, it’s a story that has been with me for a long time, and I don’t want to let it go.

And despite the risks of sharing it online where people can steal it, it’s my passion project and my comfort story. No doubt I’ll see something similar in the media, but it can’t be helped. I just want to create it in my own way, if I can. I’m more focused on the world building and characters than the focused story of Ara and Osiris.

They are good foils to the couple that exists in universe, Seth and Simone. But Os and Ara aren’t that romantically inclined. I tend to juggle it around in my head but who knows what the final result could be like. Heh. But I’m having fun and that’s all that matters,

I could think of no better way to share the news than this!

So when I was 17, my cat went missing and I'd given up hope of ever seeing him again.

Until on Monday, 27th of May, 2024, my friend sent me a FB post asking 'isn't that your mother?' about the person named on the microchip.

Here he is! 16 years old, and found safe, twelve whole years after he went missing!

Yesterday (Tuesday the 28th of May, 2024) I went to the rescue that had him, and I reclaimed my boy, renaming him Artie! (He'd originally been called 'Cat' because my mother and I couldn't decide on a name)

He's home safe with me now, currently inhabiting my bathroom and purring up a storm every time someone goes in there!

I'll be doing slow introductions between him and my current cat to give them the best possible chance of living in harmony!

Here's some pictures of Artie once we let him out of the carrier:

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

Screw terfs n all but are you normal about transgirls who don't want to medically transition? Are you normal about transguys with boobs who don't wear binders? Are you normal about the trans people who only want to socially transition because that's what's right for them? Are you normal about the transgirls with beards? Are you normal about the transguys who love their curves? Screw terfs, but are you normal about trans people?

Batman gives each of his Robins a different code to use when they’re in trouble and need immediate extraction. He promises that when they call, he’ll drop everything just to get to them, come hell or high water.

Jason, during his time with the League, shares his code with Damian, to be used “only in the direst of circumstances, when you have exhausted all other options.” He doesn’t know if Bruce will answer, given how fractured their relationship was before he died, but it is better than nothing. Every tool counts when they live such dangerous lives.

Damian uses it exactly once, and Bruce, who still feels the loss of his son like a yawning chasm in his chest, responds to it even though he knows it can’t be Jason because Jason’s dead. What he finds, instead of Jason, is a boy in League garbs, drenched in blood from the tips of his midnight-black hair to his too-small feet, with a face that Bruce sees himself and Talia in, requesting asylum from a grandfather who wishes to possess his body. Bruce doesn’t question how this boy who is so clearly his son knew the code. Talia al Ghul is resourceful and places family above all; the code is not beyond her abilities to discover, and she is not above using Bruce’s desperate love for his dead son to ensure that hers does not meet the same fate.

Bruce takes Damian in, because of course he does, and since Jason is dead he allows Damian to keep using the code. After all, it’s not like Jason is alive to use it, right? If someone uses the code, there’s no one it could be but Damian, right?

The next time the code is used, Bruce traces the location to Gotham even though Damian was supposed to be in Bludhaven visiting Dick. But whatever happened that resulted in Damian being in Gotham can wait, because he has already failed one son and he will not fail another, his son is in trouble and he needs to get to him, he needs to—

What he finds, instead of Damian, is a boy (just eighteen, too young, but also too old, but also he will always be a boy to him) in League garbs, drenched in blood from the tips of his midnight-black hair to his too-large feet (when had he gotten so big), wearing the face of his dead son.

(Who, maybe, just maybe, may no longer be so dead.)

Listen man, you guys can't be like "you guys need to be normal about asexuality" and then turn around and get weirdly judgemental when you find out someone doesn't have sex by choice. Like that's weird that some of you do that.
