2/5 stars
The reason why the rating is so low is that it was very different from what people were expecting. I was expecting a detailed story about a teenager having to deal with the effects on her hometown due to climate change. I was wrong. Instead, it focused on a group of teenagers who hate tourists (the people who visit during the summer) as well as on love. I believe that the main character was crushing on one of the tourists. I was completely unaware that it was written as poetry. I wouldn't typically have a problem with this writing style except that I felt that I was missing parts of the story. Either because of a lack of detail or because it was placing too much emphasis on something that wasn't even going to be relevant in the story later on. I wouldn't recommend this book. I'm sure there are people who enjoy both the writing style and the plot of the story, but I am not one of them.

Title: Don’t Call Me a Hurricane
Author: Ellen Hagan
Series or standalone: standalone
Publication year: 2022
Genres: fiction, poetry, contemporary, romance
Blurb: It’s been five years since a hurricane ravaged Eliza Marino’s life and home in her quiet town on the Jersey shore. Now a senior in high school, Eliza is passionate about fighting climate change...starting with saving Clam Cove Reserve, an area of marshland that is scheduled to be turned into buildable lots. Protecting the island helps Eliza deal with her lingering trauma from the storm, but she still can’t shake the fear that something will come along and wash out her life once again. When Eliza meets Milo Harris at a party, she tries to hate him; Milo is one of the rich tourists who flock to the island every summer. But after Eliza reluctantly agrees to give Milo surfing lessons, she can’t help falling for him. Still, Eliza’s not sure if she’s ready to risk letting an outsider into the life she’s rebuilt...especially once she discovers that Milo is keeping a devastating secret.

so i mentioned this in a post like yesterday and immediately have decided on previewing this monster of a fic about a ship and fandom i have never brought up on this blog before! but, as mentioned again in a previous post, i locked myself out of that blog so...
it seems we are previewing it here!
literally just a vietnam war harringrove au, because i never write anything easy (so the rumor has it), so enjoy this hot mess!
-------
Steve's been in Vietnam for a little less than five months, and yet the one thing he's certain of about the country is that it is, without a doubt, fucking hot.
His shirt is long gone, probably somewhere in the bottom of his duffle. He'd finally shed his boots after a fierce internal debate about permanent sand in the liners of the jungle boots versus jungle rot, the sun-heated sand like fire ants against his now-bare feet.
They've been off the front line for a little less than four days, all four of which, for some reason, Steve has been obligated to spend on the beach from sunrise to sundown.
Jonathan Byers is sitting a few paces away from him, also fine with just sitting on the sand banks instead of going into the tumultuous ocean, bent over and fiddling with the shoelaces of his own jungle boots.
"Get any good shots?" Steve asks, awkward, having to shout slightly over the sound of the crashing waves and the rest of the shouting unit.
Jonathan looks up quickly, eyes wary, before blinking and turning to drift his hand over the camera case laying in the sand next to him.
"Nah," He says, pressing his lips together in an awkward approximation of a smile before dropping his eyes back down to his boots. "I've gotten photos of the previous three days, and publication doesn't want too many of everyone..." He trails off, lifting a hand from the laces to wave it around vaguely. "They don't want everyone thinking that the guys over here are slacking off."
Steve just nods, turning to look back out at the shore.
He has to pause and think about that for a minute or two. Steve doesn't really think that this is slacking off - according to Hop, the army's been pretty short on men, and they'd been on the front line for a little over three weeks rather than the usual eight days.
Four days of boogie-boarding and beach dwelling seems like more of a reward than slacking off, but, well, Steve isn't smart. He's sure there's things going on behind the scenes that he doesn't know about or wouldn't understand.
While he's staring out where the distant shapes of the rest of his unit are splashing around in the shore, Jonathan moves from fiddling with his boots to fiddling with his camera case, flipping the leather flap of the thing back and forth.
Steve likes Jonathan, he had decided, early on when the other had joined the group. Granted, Steve's only met three embedded journalists, but Jonathan had stuck out the longest, going on three weeks of his apparent seven.
He's lasted the longest, anyway, of the three, and he's quiet, so Steve doesn't think he could be all bad.
"You're not ever gonna go out there?" Jonathan asks him abruptly, and Steve turns again to look at him. "I mean, last day here, might as well..." He trails off again, and Steve hums.
"Nah," He says, and thinks about his parents' swimming pool. "I - have a thing with water. Rice paddy's are bad enough, I'm okay not dealing with the ocean."
Jonathan just nods, and Steve turns his attention back to the shore, where a new wave of hollering has been started up by the guys. Steve only catches the tail end of it, but he sees Tommy Hagan shove a cackling Billy Hargrove into a sandbank.
Billy Hargrove.
Steve doesn't know what he thinks of Billy Hargrove.
To be fair, Steve doesn't often think, but his point still stands.
Hargrove is... something else, Steve thinks, because that's what his mother would tell him about guys like Billy Hargrove.
Ellen's kid got put in the slammer again, stole a pack of Juicy Fruit from the corner shop. That boy is something else.
Steve doesn't really believe that Hargrove is really... bad, per se. He watches out for the other guys, they watch out for him. But... he seems to take a sort of joy in being in Vietnam that Steve doesn't really see.
Steve doesn't think it's dangerous, but he thinks it's... unique.
But again, Steve doesn't often think. Maybe he's rusty at it.
Billy Hargrove has pushed himself off of the bank and has turned his back to the ocean, waving his hand at the boos of the rest of the guys, and is walking towards Steve as Steve works on thinking.
Jonathan notices him before Steve does, but doesn't bother doing much else other than pull his boots closer to him before dropping his attention back to the camera case.
"Got a fag?" Hargrove shouts at Steve as he gets closer, and Steve just blinks at him.
"Huh?" He asks, trying to find a reason that Billy would drag himself out of the ocean, seeing that Steve's at least eighty percent certain that Hargrove lives off of sea water.
"A fag," Hargrove repeats, making an aborted gesture of bringing two fingers up to his lips. "You know, cancer sticks? You ain't goin' out in the water, pretty boy, you've got no reason not to have a pack on you."
"Oh," Steve says, and then has to try and remember where in the hell his cigarettes are. "I think they're back at the reserve trench. Kept getting sand in the pack."
There's sand everywhere, all the time, even when it's pouring buckets and they're squatting in the middle of a rice paddy, because apparently sand is just a permanent part of Steve's life now. He's pretty sure that if he shook like a dog that he'd bear an uncanny resemblance to Pigpen from The Peanuts.
"Well, shit. Why'd I come over here, then?" Billy says, then drops into the sand next to Steve anyways.
Steve says, "I dunno." And leaves it at that.
Billy's been with them for about three months, eighteen clusters of tally marks carved messily into the inside of his helmet, not that he's wearing it now.
((Hagan had told Steve that Billy hadn't cut his hair all through basic and that it had been down to his shoulders, and the reason that Hargrove has that small crescent scar that follows the curve of his jaw is because right before he was deployed one of the drill sergeants held him down and cut it with a butcher knife, and that Billy had bit him.
Tommy had stories like that for everyone in the unit, liked to make it sound like everyone was some big badass from one of those old flicks about the second big one, but Steve thinks that that's all they are: stories.
Tommy tells everyone else a story about Steve where the reason that Steve's over here is because he told his old man that he'd rather fight the Viet Cong with just a stiletto knife than buy his way out of the draft, and that certainly isn't true, so Steve doesn't think the story about Hargrove is.
But Steve also wouldn't believe Tommy Hagan if the guy said that squirrel shit has nuts in it, so he supposes anything is possible.))
Roughly ninety tally marks in Hargrove's helmet, and Steve still feels like he's the newest member.
In reality, he'd been the newest one for Steve, who had only stopped being the green one once Hargrove came along.
All this to say, Steve still has no idea of what to do with Billy Hargrove.
So he just goes back to staring at the shore and practises thinking.
Except for now his concentration is shot to shit, because where Jonathan Byers sort of becomes camouflaged into the background of whatever he's doing at the moment, Billy Hargrove stands out like Day-Glo, and makes Steve just as dizzy.
(Steve thinks, absently, that Billy Hargrove could be a perfect poster boy for the army. He could even see a Hawkins High School newspaper headline for him if he thinks hard enough about it: Groovy new army brat gets to lovin' and killin' in the 'Nam, more on page six.)
“I don’t blame you for not going out into the ocean, Harrington,” Billy says, when no one’s said anything for a few minutes. When Steve glances over out of the corner of his eye, he can no longer see Jonathan and feels a spike of envy. For some reason, he can never escape anything as easily.
“That so?” Steve prompts slowly, when Hargrove doesn’t elaborate. He probably shouldn’t play into Billy’s palm, knows he doesn’t say anything kind for free and hardly ever charges anything, but, well.
He left his cigarettes at the reserve trench, he supposes this is the next best thing.
“That’s so.” Billy repeats him, eyes still on the shoreline. “You need to be sturdy in water, otherwise it’ll pull you under. You never plant your feet, you’d be swept away.”
Steve can’t help but laugh at that. He says, “I’d say I’m pretty sturdy with an M1,” because it’s true. He’s a damn good shot, one of the best in the unit, and being sturdy with a weapon seems more important than being sturdy in the sea.
Billy just hums. “I could be sturdier than you, if I wanted,” He says, and Steve glances at him again. Hargrove still hasn’t looked at him, sharp eyes in vivid contrast to where he sits, lithe and relaxed, on a beach in South Vietnam.
“Do you think so?” Steve asks him, because he’s actually curious. Hargrove is fast, sure, but he sure as hell doesn’t have the accuracy that some of the others in the unit have, people like Steve and Jason Carver.
Billy finally turns to look at him, flashes him a smile that seems more like baring his teeth than genuine happiness. “I never stop thinking,” He tells Steve.
Then why are you here? Steve wonders, but doesn’t say. He supposes it’s not any of his business.
“Then why aren’t you?” Steve asks, instead. “Sturdier, I mean.”
Billy shrugs. “I’d rather be precarious.” He says easily, and settles further into the sand.
Steve envies Billy Hargrove at times, on top of being unsure of what to know of him. To be so certain and so stable that you can afford to be capricious. It’s something he’s unaware of, but seems to be the whole of Hargrove.
“What are you doing all the way over here, anyways?” Billy asks, when it’s been a few more seconds of silence. “You could have come closer to the shore, you know, it won’t bite you.”
You’re all the way over here, too. Steve thinks and doesn’t say. “I have no doubt you or Hagan or Carver or someone else would drag me out into the waves.” He tells Billy instead, because it’s true. “Also, the shore moves.”
Hargrove snorts. “The shore doesn’t move, the tide comes in.” He corrects, and Steve doesn’t interject, although the two seem the same to him. “And not everyone would try to drag you into the water.” He pauses, as if thinking. “Patrick probably wouldn’t.”
“Patrick’s an outlier and shouldn’t be counted,” Steve tells him, because it’s true. Patrick McKinney has to be one of the nicest people that Steve’s ever met; although granted, Steve hasn’t met a lot of nice people. “‘Sides, it doesn’t matter much because I’m not going down there. The lot of you sure as hell aren’t flower children, I wouldn’t trust you with a grenade.”
He’s probably not using that phrase right, because he actually does trust everyone in this rag-tag bunch with a grenade, and has on multiple occasions, but, well. His point stands.
Billy thumbs at his nose and shrugs. “Yeah, well, you ain’t a dove, either.” He retorts dryly, and kicks out his leg to spray sand in Steve’s direction.
“Never said I was,” Steve says evenly, and as he tries to brush the sand out of his hair and wonders if he’d be able to get it out of the waistband of his khakis, he really, really wishes he’d just brought his damn smokes.

Beyblade -> Date A Live
Here is another of my random rambles from the cold darkness that is my spirit. The last word of that sentence is apt, this Beyblade Burst and Beyblade: Metal Saga recast is based on Date A Live. Once again, the main OC of mine will be included, this time on both sides, as I have a Beyblade variant and a Date A Live variant of said OC. There's also a small list of what their abilities would be, if the intersex thing were to become a Spirit. Because all the positions of the Sefirot and Qliphoth are filled in by canon people, I had to look through the many Abrahamic angels to locate those that fit with Sahaidachny's character that were not in said respective structures of the Kabbalah. Though supposedly Uriel was the guardian of the Sefirot of Kabbalah as well as the Gatekeeper of Eden. I also looked to the Book of Revelations and the Book of Genesis and stumbled upon something called Demonolatry which seems interesting.
I thought I'd combine two of my favourite series into a post. It seems ridiculous, but I couldn't care less.
Once again, not all people from each series is included. Closest match based on MBTI and Enneagram used. A list of Spirits in each AU is supplied, in which the Angel is instead based on the person's Beyblade.

--------------------------------------------------
C.J.S. is intersex, and the closest thing humans can get to being a biological hermaphrodite. In their hypothetical arc, Furutani Youkai -> Furutani Imperfect, their Angel would only be revealed near the end, and they would mostly be seen with their Demon King.
The concepts of subconscious loneliness, self-worth, getting them to open their heart again, wanting someone to understand them, finding the truth of one's self and being able to be one's self are the core tenets of their story. After realising that last part, they spontaneously broke into silent sobbing for the first time in their life. Being mentally and emotionally bullied for 10-11 years of your life purely for personality and conditions/disabilities does that (They have Autism, Epilepsy, Todd's Paralysis, Psoriasis, Narcolepsy, Hypersensitivity, a genetic fault that results in a lack of body temperature regulation).
They often wear a lavender purple kimono as their casual outfit, and otherwise will wear an ice-blue shirt with a snowstorm-esque pattern alongside loose ice-white trousers and a thin but large lavender/soft dark purple jacket resembling a lab coat or dressing gown.* When attending Raizen, they wear the school uniform. Both variants, due to being intersex.
They are naturally lacking in emotional expression. To them, a small smile means they are extremely happy and a minuscule frown means they are incredibly unhappy. They are seemingly cold/emotionless on the surface and acted cold-hearted/emotionless to the point where they were convinced its who they were, but a slowly re-emerging emotion both confused and plagued them until they freaked out and finally revealed - shoddily at first until they suddenly shouted in confusion and despair "I don't know what's wrong with me!" - what they thought of themselves to a group that always thought they didn't care about the group before the final battle. Furu has gone suicidal and was at a mental point where the slightest thing could tip them one way or the other. They had turned out to be someone who saw themselves as some worthless cripple who had lost all use to themselves or Shido and couldn't break or change themselves for their art or for his sake. Needless to say he wasn't impressed with this revelation (I don't regret the reference). Most noticeably, they had an unexplainable intellectual and emotional obsession (read: romantic love - only fully realised in the middle of the final battle of their arc when they were told by Itsuka that they're allowed to be themselves. Cue subsequent curling up and denial with the sealed Spirits helping them realise the truth of their subconscious, which finally made them admit their inner feelings and how they came to be. Come the transition from Inverse to Normal including Uriel appearing for the first time and their subsequent defeat finally able to move on from their past, they thank Itsuka for everything and say they're ready to find out what a date is. Weirdly, they use El Elyon as a makeshift outfit for the date, because the only Spirit with less shame than Furutani is Tobiichi. It's the autism. After said date involving utilising Michael to go to a science museum, an art museum and an Italian restaurant, they willingly allow themselves to be sealed.) with the one that seals Spirits who had successfully befriended them despite previous life experiences within their subconscious. In reality, their true personality is apathetic to everyone except those they bond with, with whom they are really shy on the inside, which their lack of expression fails to show to others. They can't even start a conversation on their own. Also slightly creepy due to a natural talent for appearing out of nowhere and for casual stalking of person/people they become really romantically close to. Their emotional intelligence is absurdly low and they do not understand exactly what bonds are, only that they enjoy them. An individual with almost absurd levels of typical intelligence through prodigal talent/hard effort who had gone emotionally despondent and isolated themselves completely due to events in their life. Couple that with having been betrayed by so-called friends who turned into bullies and you have someone who simply is desperate to be understood. Prior to sealing, they saw themselves as beyond worthless and had a history of being used purely for their talents particularly in art - being an artist is their hobby and one of their passions - and intellectually. Since being sealed and joining the main group, they have become much happier upon accepting that it's alright to be themselves. They are also asexual, and demiromantic, meaning only close friends have a chance of ending up in a love-based relationship.
The theme of C. Sahaidachny is searching for the truth (after 10-11 years of mental & emotional torment & bullying for who they were desensitized them to almost everything/wrecked their emotional capacity/made them inwardly terrified of opening up to anyone) about who they are, and ultimately realizing they're allowed to be themselves and learning that they are not less than worthless. Learning not to be over-defensive around everyone and being able to trust others again are also key facets in the development towards that.
The Angel takes the form of a Shimenawa inspired by the same structure on Regnar** with colour alterations - Red -> Lavender Purple, Light Gold -> Dark Purple, White -> Black. It is engraved with various formulae and equations on the back, as well as what appears to be a painting of cold air and dandelions. The Shimenawa can also be wielded as a weapon in its own right.
The Demon King takes the form of an ethereal compass sigil**** coloured in ice-blue and ice-white. The Roman Numerals inscribed on the compass are a purposeful falsehood linking back to the motif of truth and the destruction of the barriers that stand in the way of discovering the truth, the answer so to speak.
The Astral Dress is based on Regnar** of Beyblade Burst, besides the head and the Shimenawa-esque structure which is what the Angel is based on, with the following colour alterations - White -> Ice-White, Red -> Lavender Purple, Light Gold -> Royal Purple, Blue -> Ice-Blue, Dark Grey -> Black. A halo that somewhat resembles the accretion disk of a black hole (or the hypothetical gravastar) forms above the head. The concepts of the celestial universe - and art - itself are the motif of that which essentially combines the scientific and the occult into one collection of abilities. El Elyon possesses a high durability bested only by Adonai Melek. However it is also one of the slowest, which is its one weakness, and Furutani can easily be caught in sensory overload rendering them vulnerable, particularly against multiple opponents.
In the Inverse form, the Astral Dress is more based on Genesis rather ironically, minus the head part and the lower half which is based on the image that isn't Genesis. The colour scheme is altered from the basis as the following - White -> Ice-White, Light Pink -> Ice-Blue, Gold -> Black, Red -> Dark Gold, Dark Grey -> White, Purple -> Lavender Purple. A spiked halo forms above the head and various distorted formulae and equations circle the user.
The Astral Dress is vastly different to the general norm of these clothing items in style. The Inverse Form is no more powerful than the main form, the difference is fighting style. Except for one technique in which the Angel version is weirdly more powerful than the Demon King version if only by slightly.
Clarkov's/Furu's Angel is known as Uriel - based on the being known as the Archangel of Salvation among other titles - representing the angel of wisdom and truth who guides people to answers they seek. Uriel is said to be the gatekeeper of Eden, the one who acts as bodyguard to the Kabbalah and by extension the Sefirot, the one who warned Noah of the biblical flood and one of the four angels - alongside Raphael, Michael and Gabriel - who protected the four corners of Earth.
Furu's Demon King is known as Abaddon - otherwise known as The Destroyer - representing the fallen angel of destruction and the abyss. Abaddon is said to be the embodiment of God's wrath who keeps existence in balance, unleashing their power on anything that may greatly disturb it. Essentially the enforcer of the angels. They are also regarded as playing a vital role in the Apocalypse itself, casting divine judgement on those who do not believe as well as those who fake their belief with their locust-derived plagues born from the depths of Hell.
As mentioned earlier, in the Book of Enoch, Uriel is described as the guardian of the Tree of Life (the Kabbalah, which bares the Sefirot that the main 10 Spirits are based on). As such, Furutani's Uriel would be the complete all-rounder. Their battle capabilities are roughly on par with Metatron, it has similar divination powers to Rasiel though it can't make stuff reality, and its strongest move Regalia is pretty much a better version of Eden and would override Paradise Lost if activated inside it. Which, they would do, because Furu utterly despises the entire concept of Eden as a whole. Uriel would effectively be a Story-Breaker Power like Rasiel, Michael, Eden and Ain Soph Aur.
The database would rank Furutani as an SS-Class Spirit, on the same level as Rinne and then above her too. The only reason Furutani wouldn't class as an SSS-Class Spirit is because that spot is reserved purely for Mio who is just far ahead of absolutely every other Spirit, naturally as the Spirit of Origin. Besides Mio who could still curb-stomp them despite all this, Furutani would almost certainly be the most powerful Spirit of all unless Mukuro had anything to say about it. However due to their inexperience in battle and disabilities, they would also likely be defeated by fused Yamai while being level both with Origami and Tohka due to their Fecto Elfilis-esque fighting style. Since their personality resembles (and their powers are based on) Faust and Gwyn Ronny who are at or near the top and both beyond overpowered in their respective series/verses, this absurd level of overpowered-ness would fit. Though frankly, Furu's personality resembles Rin Tezuka's more than anything. It also resembles to various extents the personalities of Mizore Shirayuki and Naho Saenoki. Furu seems confusing, but they aren't. Furu will tell you that.
In this version of the verse, the Main Spirit power ranking would go like this, along with their assigned classes for my version (equivalent to canon, except for alterations based on grading that goes from SSS to A with anything from A to C and below utilised for AST or others*):
Mio Takamiya - SSS-Class (Ain/Ain Soph/Ain Soph Aur)
Isaac Westcott - SSS-Class (Qemetiel/Belial/Athiel)
Shido Itsuka - SSS-Class (All main Angels + Uriel)
Mukuro Hoshimiya - SS-Class (Michael)
Yamai Kazamachi - SS-Class (Raphael [Fused])
Tohka Yatogami - SS-Class (Sandalphon)
Clarkov Furutani - SS-Class (Uriel)
Origami Tobiichi - SS-Class (Metatron)
Kurumi Tokisaki - SS-Class (Zaphkiel)
Nia Honjou - SS-Class (Rasiel)
Rinne Sonogami - SS-Class (Eden)
Miku Izayoi - S-Class (Gabriel)
Kotori Itsuka - S-Class (Camael)
Kaguya/Yuzuru Yamai - S-Class (Raphael)
Mayuri - S-Class (Kerubiel)
Ren - AAA-Class (Samael)
Marina Arusu - AAA-Class (???)
Rio Sonogami - AA-Class (Eden [Incomplete])
Yoshino Himekawa - AA-Class (Zadkiel)
Natsumi Kyouno - AA-Class (Haniel)
Maria Arusu - A-Class (???)
*And an extra upgrade to Miku based on the biblical idea of Michael, Uriel, Gabriel and Raphael protecting the four corners of the globe. Nia gets the extra upgrade too as I see Rasiel as better than it gets credit for, along with a slight downgrade to Rinne when scaling is taken into account. Ren and Mayuri are given a class too. The Inverse variants are the same class as the normal variants in this version, but are still generally better in combat.
Weirdly, the many yandere Spirits would include Rinne, Mukuro, Furutani and Mio, potentially even Origami and Kurumi. In essence, Furutani would be equivalent to Rin Tezuka or even Mizore Shirayuki.
The attacks are partially based on those used by Gwyn Ronny and extra info about their power is also based on Gwyn and his canon battles. They are also partially inspired by Faust and Twisted Tempo. Their main arc and recovery is also inspired by the story of Gwyn Ronny in Beyblade Burst as is the case for all variants of the OC.
Hebrew translations done online, expect wrongness.
Name: Clarkov Sahaidachny/Furutani
Qlipha Crystal: Apocalypse
Sephira Crystal: Genesis
Astral Dress: El Elyon
Angel: Uriel
Demon King: Abaddon
Codename: Sage
Angel Title: Celestial Monarch
Demon King Title: Truth In Abyss
Spirit Rank: SS-class
Inverse Rank: SS-class
Attacks of Uriel/Abaddon:
Onbashira [טוריי (Turre) -> Torii] -> A vaguely lavender purple band traces itself and expands into an ethereal barrier that looks like a celestial paintbrush stroke. It contracts upon contact and then pushes out to deflect incoming attacks. It is capable to deflecting Lahathelev (Kerubiel) and Shemesh (Metatron) at once with great effort. It is also capable of withstanding a meteor summoned by Lataib (Michael) when working together with other defensive techniques. A blast from Megiddo (Camael) or the effects of Solo (Gabriel) are enough to break Onbashira.
Veritas [אשת שלג (Esht Shelag) -> Yuki-Onna] -> A lavender purple pocket draws surrounding residue mana into the arm which forms a large ethereal blade which then back-slashes against the opponent. This move is able to defeat Zadkiel. It can also severely damage Zaphkiel. When enhanced by March (Gabriel), Veritas (Uriel) can take down Zadkiel and Haniel in one go after being momentarily pushed back. The move is sent packing by Symphony (Gabriel) if the latter is amplified by enough soundwaves.
Spectrum [מארח שמימי (Mareh Shamimi) -> Heavenly Host] -> A celestial fog that looks a bit like intergalactic space and is absurdly cold like intergalactic space appears and slowly spreads around the area surrounding Furutani, who then slowly brings their hand which is glowing lavender purple through the fog. Once fully outstretched in front of them, they then close their hand while at the same time bringing their arm still straightened from in front of them to as far behind them as it will reasonably go, causing the celestial fog to disperse. At the fog's sudden fading, the Shimenawa fades and transfers its energy in the form of equations and formulae to the user giving them a boost in power. In the Inverse Form, the wings fade instead. This move allows Uriel to hold its own against a fused Yamai's Raphael, and can be used to sustain El Elyon after Jerez (Michael) initially dismantles it. The hair turns lavender in this state.
Eclipse [רוח רפאים (Roah Refaim) -> Youkai] -> {Demon King Version} -> The corrupted form of the ultimate move of Uriel/Abaddon, used by Abaddon. The compass glows violently in an ice-blue colouring with the needles rotating counter-clockwise at breakneck speed, and the wings shift to where their end points are separated by a small gap in front of the user and emit a colossal shockwave which retracts in on itself and then gather residue mana in that gap before the energy is grabbed and thrown into the sky where it expands outwards in a bright ball of lavender purple light. Within it is a dense celestial fog within which the user forms a scissor-esque weapon***** in one hand and a Gohei/paintbrush thing in the other hand and charges towards the opponent. Eclipse (Abaddon) is capable of matching Artelif (Metatron).
Parity [סופת שלגים (Sufat Shlagim) -> Snowstorm] -> {Angel Version} -> The true nature of the ultimate move of Uriel/Abaddon, used by Uriel and unlocked after Clarkov finally realises they're allowed to be themselves, stops being Inverse and uses their Angel Uriel for the first time near the end of the hypothetical final battle between Clarkov and Shido in the fan-made arc Furutani Beginning. The Shimenawa emits a colossal shockwave and the user holds their hands to their heart and releases them. The user then holds both hands around the ball of energy and gently releases it as if they were reaching out to hug someone, upon which it forms an aura on El Elyon (similar in appearance to Eclipse Genesis's Superior-Flux) that gathers mana from the surrounding area and draws it towards below where the user is standing in the form of black-ish jagged streaks of light. Upon contact with an opposing force, the ball spreads out in a small space containing a celestial scene with ghostly structures resembling nebulae, star systems and more. The space subsequently fades as the origin point explodes and forms into the shape of a royal purple & lavender purple galaxy with quasars of the same colour erupting from the centre where Uriel's user and the opponent have collided. There's also a lot of dandelions present. The Angel equivalent is more powerful than the Demon King equivalent, a rarity for Uriel and in general. Parity (Uriel) can match and even surpass Artelif (Metatron) in direct combat.
Revelation [אמן (Amen) -> Artist] -> The natural ability of Uriel to quantify and produce a solution for any subjective problem that comes to the user's mind, no matter how difficult. It manifests in the form of equations and formulae flowing from the Shimenawa into the head. However it is ineffective when confronted with objective problems. The Inverse Form does not have this ability as it is clouded by vast negative emotions. Think of it like this, Rasiel excels at objective information while Uriel excels at subjective information.
Regalia [עיוות/מושלם (Katawa/Amants) -> Imperfect] -> Uriel's final and most powerful ability after having it's hidden power hypothetically unlocked by Shifuru (Michael). The Shimenawa moves from behind the user to the front and emits a shockwave even greater than that from Parity, powerful enough to shake the entire vicinity for miles around and partially shred Astral Dresses caught within the blast. From the focal point of the shockwave, a barrier similar to that of Parity expands outward that contains its own reality which Uriel has total control of via a shrine complete with a torii and onbashira in the epicentre of a field covered in snow and dandelions. It is extremely similar to Paradise Lost (Eden) and is effectively a superior version of Eden in terms of power and capabilities but is vastly outclassed by Ain Soph because of course it is. It can also act as a defensive barrier capable of withstanding attacks from both Halvanhelev (Sandalphon) and El Kanaph (Raphael) at the same time.
The Limited form, after being sealed, has access to vastly weakened variants of its abilities. Shifuru (Michael) is capable of awakening Uriel's hidden power. With the fading of Genesis alongside the other Sephira Crystals, El Elyon and Uriel disappeared with them.
Uriel is virtually powerless against Ain Soph Aur, Ain Soph and Ain. The likes of Henet and Anaph crush Onbashira, Veritas, Lustrous and Parity into fine dust. However Revelation can help hold back the effects of Ain Soph briefly. Even Regalia is completely rended by Ain Soph and Ain, mainly because while Regalia is superior to Eden, Ain Soph is vastly superior to Regalia. The barrier form of Regalia is also overpowered.

Vlisco launches latest collection ‘Eclectic Cool’
…unveils Naa Ashorkor as its influencer
By Buertey Francis BORYOR
Renowned luxury fabric producer Vlisco has launched its latest collection for 2024 in a vibrant event marked by elegance and creativity, hosted at its shop in the Accra Mall. Additionally, Ghanaian media personality Naa Ashorkor was unveiled as the brand’s inaugural influencer.
Titled ‘Eclectic Cool’, the latest collection seamlessly blends geometric patterns and vibrant floral designs, drawing inspiration from the beauty and vibrancy of life. It represents an exploration of combining prints and unconventional colour pairings within a rich palette of contemporary fashion, inspired by the diverse and authentic legacy shaped by women.
Tumblr media
The fabrics are crafted to resonate primarily with women who confidently navigate the intersections of tradition and contemporary style, drawing inspiration and influences from various aspects of their lives.
Thereby leaving an enduring mark on the fashion world, transcending borders with their unique tastes and ideas.
Commenting on the new collection, Deborah Sowah, Brand Manager at Vlisco Ghana, noted that the launch aims to showcase the brand’s latest collection to its valued customers while celebrating women in alignment with its Women’s Month campaign.
She further added that besides serving as a platform for networking and reconnecting with old friends, the event offers an opportunity for the company to foster stronger bonds with its customers. “Over the years, we have engaged a lot of ambassadors – all of them non-Ghanaians.
And this time we have decided to go for Naa Ashorkor as our brand influencer because of the kind of person she is. We feel she is authentic, she resonates well with the brand and can engage our audience. Her story is just inspiring as a person,” Ms. Sowah added.
Touting the uniqueness of the fabrics, she noted: “Vlisco is matchless, and our colours are unique and exquisite. It is actually our customers who are pushing us to be more creative and innovative. We have over 20 designs and a lot of colours, so you can visit this shop at any time and get your exquisite design”.
Naa Ashorkor, on her part, expressed her excitement about being affiliated with the brand. “My association with the brand makes me so happy and I look forward to exploring all the designs that it has to offer in 2024.
Tumblr media
I have followed their influencer choices from other African countries and noticed they have never used an influencer in Ghana. Being the brand’s first Ghanaian influencer, I look forward to working with the best designers in the country and creating great designs with them.
“One thing I appreciate about Vlisco is the high quality fabric. It is one of those brands on the market that you can use for a very long time and be guaranteed that your fabric will remain high quality and authentic.
Tumblr media
The designs are very sophisticated and perfect for women and men who love quality and good fashion,” she noted.
The approximately two-hour event was attended by the company’s loyal customers, fashion designers and numerous distinguished personalities, including its inaugural ambassador, Ellen Hagan, and Lamido Salamatou Bala Goga, Niger Ambassador to Ghana. With a rich heritage spanning 177 years, Vlisco remains a pioneer in the world of African textiles.
