d20 twitter is crazy bc i think they hate the players???? like atp i think they just don’t like their sense of humour and like very potentially maybe don’t know how dnd works bc i think anyone else would get their decisions on the princesses. reasoning with the princesses would be down to rolls that destiny’s children could not clear they are bad socially. also like why do they get to decide that everyone is destroyed like they’re like 6 ppl??? the players’ plan of everyone getting part of a true book gives them control like yh ig if u wanna stop existing dip it in ink but why tf do we all have to get drowned in ink????

neverafter and a starstruck odyssey have had these treatments of being dnfed and hated on in ways that end up as critiques of like the players’ personalities which i hate. norman was created to be brainslugged. he wasn’t a shitty guy bc he got screwed over he was a shitty guy and he got screwed over. the princesses were created to show the party that they didn’t want to completely erase the neverafter. it would be easy to ally with the princesses over the fairies: we don’t want to go back so let’s start over. but the princesses are blinded by pain and want to use that to excuse the apocalypse. they have sympathy for them and maybe if they’d been luckier with the dice they could have reasoned with them but the dice spoke lol.

i have more opinions but imo neverafter slaps and is worth watching and i love my millennials sm

“Sinsmas is an episode about Fizzs relationship with the sins”

(assuming this is confirmed and not speculation) look i like fizz but holy shit why is he getting so many episodes dedicated to him? yet none of the female characters do … viv’s favoritism is so blatant it’s starting to make me not want to see more fizz …

No I hate this opinion by the critical community, sorry. I don’t care if it makes me a black sheep.

Loona just had an episode, Beelzebubs. My only argument is that it was too short, it should have been double in length. Plus it didn’t need Blitz to arrive but I don’t really mind that it did.

Pitting Fizz and only Fizz against the female characters is really dumb since he’s never had sole focus until now. And he has been long overdue this focus in the plot.

“Why is he getting so many episodes dedicated to him?!”

He has had. One. Episode. Dedicated to him. The previous one was about him and the protagonist. While Ozzie and Stolas also hogged screen time. Stolas has had several, Barbie is going to be addressed in the next season. Loona had focus in Bees, though my one gripe with it is that it was too short. Millie needs an episode all about her, yes, but she’s been the focus before as part of a pair with Moxxie. And that doesn’t mean she has to compete with Fizz.

Anon. Maybe. Just maybe, Because Fizz’s relationship to the protagonist is the most important one to Blitzos backstory in the series ?? Maybe ? It’s literally all over Blitzos face how important Fizz is💀 considering that Blitz being ashamed of his repressed feelings of love for Fizz are indirectly what caused the circus fire, the injury, the collapse of his family, the change in his career path towards being an assassin, the very marks on his face?? You’ll never convince me Fizzarolli isn’t an extremely important character.

The title of the episode has sin in it. Of course it will be largely about the sins. It will hopefully tackle the theme of lost family rather than just the ten millionth romance episode. And how Fizz struggled to fit in with the Buckzo family and now the royal one.

Orobas

Orobas is the 55th spirit and a powerful Great Prince of Hell, having twenty legions of demons under his control.

He supposedly gives true answers of things past, present and to come, divinity, and the creation of the world; he also confers dignities and prelacies, and the favour of friends and foes.

Orobas is faithful to the conjurer, does not permit that any spirit tempts him, and never deceives anyone.

He is depicted as a horse that changes into a man under the conjurer's request.

The name could come from Latin 'orobias', a type of incense.

.

The Planet of Demon Orobas

Intriguingly, Orobas is deeply connected to the planet Jupiter, a celestial body representing abundance, wisdom, and expansive growth.

Jupiter governs long distance and foreign travel, big business and wealth, higher education, religion, and the law.

.

The Metal of Demon Orobas

When it comes to the metal associated with Orobas, Tin stands out. This metal is linked with the planet Jupiter, reinforcing the demon's celestial connection.

The Element of Demon Orobas

The element tied with Orobas is Earth, an element known for its stability, practicality, and realism. Earth represents groundedness, material world affairs, and tangible experiences.

.

The Astrological Sign for Orobas

The astrological sign that resonates with Orobas is Virgo, an Earth sign renowned for its analytical, practical, and system-loving nature.

.

Offerings to Demon Orobas

Offerings to Orobas are unique, reflecting his truthful nature and wisdom. Unlike traditional offerings such as food or drink, Orobas values offerings of a more symbolic nature.

Clear quartz crystals, known for their properties of amplifying energy and intention, and known as 'stones of truth', could be offered to symbolize truthfulness.

It is also appropriate to offer items that represent wisdom and knowledge.

Books on philosophy, for instance, would be considered a suitable offering.

Always remember, the key to making an offering is the intention behind it. An offering made with respect and clear intent is more valuable than any material item.

And the best offering is always a Sacrifice. Although I will cover that topic in a seperate post. But in short a Sacrifice is something that comes at a great cost of someone.

(Blood sacrifice comes at the cost of the victim, while a personal sacrifice is when you offer something that it hurts yourself to give --like when a starving man offers his only apple, or the wealthy man builds a rich temple in his honor. As an example.)

Orobas, the enigmatic harbinger, beckons from shadows, weaving destinies with whispers of foresight. Within his gaze lies the map to unknown realms, where courage is the key to unlocking boundless horizons.

How to Summon Orobas

The summoning of Orobas requires respectful preparation. Begin by drawing his sigil on a piece of parchment, focusing your intent on the sigil. Create a conducive environment using incense and candles to set the ambiance.

Speak your invocation clearly, expressing your desire for wisdom and truth. Remember, Orobas appreciates honesty and straightforwardness, so be clear about your intentions.

As with all powerful entities, approaching Orobas requires caution and respect. He is honest and benevolent, but still a force to be reckoned with.

.

"Great Prince Orobas, bearer of truth, I seek your guidance. Illuminate my path with your wisdom, reveal what lies hidden in the shadows. By your sigil, I beckon you forth."

.

"Shimi Dote Raka Na Me Wato Poko Orobas Shika Shate Tero Me."

Defence- Tommy Shelby

Pairing: Tommy Shelby x Reader

Characters: Tommy Shelby

Warnings: N/A

Request: Anon- 16 "You met me yesterday." "Yes, and I would die for you. Next question." peaky blinders Thomas Shelby

Word Count: 461

Author: Charlotte

One moment you were drowning your sorrows in the Garrison and next you were in bed with Tommy Shelby, losing yourself to his body. You had known of him, it was hard not to in Small Heath, but you had never actually met him and you definitely knew he had no idea who you were; you certainly never expected to end up sleeping with him. In the morning he was gone when you woke up and you were more than happy to avoid an awkward morning chat, so took your leave, escaping his home, attempting to try and not look dishevelled.

You were trying to make your way back home, living on the other side of the town, when a man who seemed still drunk from the night before setting his sights on you. He approached you, his words slurring almost out of coherency as the smell of pungent alcohol almost turned your stomach.

“Just piss off,” you huffed, not in the mood for this conversation, not in the mood for any conversation.

He didn’t take too kindly to your words, his hands instantly reaching out to grab at you as though your body was for his taking. You tried to push away his hands but before you could have any useful effect, he had been pulled from you, a fist colliding with his face. It didn’t knock sense into him for his actions but seeing who was defending you did.

“Mr Shelby,” he almost squeaked, stumbling back. “I didn’t know she was yours… I’m sorry Mr Shelby… I’m sorry.”

“Back the fuck off and leave before I make you regret ever even looking at her,” Tommy spat at him, the man quickly scurrying away like the rat that he was.

Tommy’s demeanour instantly changed as he turned his attention back to you, his expression softening and becoming concerned.

“Are you okay?” He asked.

You cocked an eyebrow at him. “You don’t have to defend me; you don’t even know me.”

“I think I know you better than most,” he said with a smirk upon his face.

“You met me yesterday,” you frowned.

Tommy chuckled. “Yes, and I would die for you. Next question.”

You shot him an unimpressed look. You knew well that he wasn’t a man to be messed with, but you were far too embarrassed about your behaviour the night prior to care about how he felt about you.

“I didn’t help you because we fucked,” he stated. “I helped you because he was a fucking pig and no one deserved that.”

You almost felt bad for how you reacted, he was just trying to be nice, not because of your indiscretion but because he had some form of morals.

“Well… thank you,” you smiled weakly.

“No problem.”

Come on, would a massive defense contractor really have any hand in the death between testimonies of a whistleblower when individuals at that company could personally face financial and criminal consequences for things the person testifying was going to say?

I mean to even suggest such a thing is ludicrous. Boeing would never have any part in killing a whistleblower. It is literally the last thing they would do. They don’t even make movies about that sort of thing, that’s how crazy that pure fantasy is.

From the article:

“At the time of his death, Mr Barnett had been in Charleston for legal interviews linked to that case.”

“Last week, he gave a formal deposition in which he was questioned by Boeing's lawyers, before being cross-examined by his own counsel.”

“He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday. When he did not appear, enquiries were made at his hotel.”
