Don’t mind me just passing here for my monthly delusion where oc from ego and taehyung actually end up falling in love after hooking up in the chronicles 🤸‍♂️
idk why it entertains me so much but it does they’d either be the Chernobyl toxic or a healthy chaotic evil together
LMAO! they'd definitely be chaotic evil, but they wouldn't last very long, because tae has a wandering eye and oc don't play that 😂 so it wouldn't even have time to get properly toxic because as we all know, our girl? she's a runner, she's a track star 🏃🏾‍♀️💨

it was never my life to live and he didn’t fall for the real me… he fell for an accessory and thought he could just change the label while things stayed the same
#sorry y’all I’m probably gonna be venting about this the next few weeks#still getting over the sudden ending of this SR and I’m working my way through it#wait why am I apologizing it’s my blog 😭#mine#SB chronicles#it will probably irk me for a while that he thinks I’m at fault for the way things ended when it was entirely him#and he will probably think of me as sensitive and petty and a hoe that was just after his money and he’ll be all the more bitter#towards women after this and I feel bad for whoever he picks up after me#he’s just on a cycle of rebounds…. not healthy at all#his punishment is who he is and no woman in her healed mind is going to stay with him once she realizes who he is#he will end up alone sooner or later#or keep running through women bc he eventually takes his facade off#maybe white women can handle all that emotional abuse but not me baby#I like my men respectful sweet patient and kind and good at communication#I still can’t believe I was going to date him for real and before I could get those words out#he immediately showed me why I would have regretted that decision#I somehow dodged a bullet but still experiencing pain and feeling like I was owed more good times with him#I just wanted a few more months of all the good…..#but there were a lot of things that irritated the shit out of me and I’m forgetting to remember those things#I’m romanticizing our time together#I mean it was wonderful while it was good but I hated hearing and smelling his fucking gross f*rts#that is definitely something I will never get used to tolerating from a man#or how easily distracted he was or how he didn’t like to sit inside of moments like I do#how he often gave me the illusion of choice but then we ended up doing whatever he wanted#I definitely would think ‘oh I can’t wait to never deal with _____ again’ and now I don’t have to 🤷🏾‍♀️#I just miss the affection attention and sex and how I felt disconnected from my sad reality when I was in his world#I just liked his world#it was rich and quiet and high quality and carefree

So... You're telling me that in the very beginning of the first book, there's an history institute that stated in the very beginning that time travel was used only to document history and NEVER EVER to intervene with history no matter what, DO NOT TOUCH A TIMELINE OR ELSE, and, by the end of the first book, the members of this institute decided to turn it into a rescue institute using time travel to rescue things that are supposed to have been destroyed in their own timeline....
Now I get why this is a 13 book series, it's gonna be a giant mess. I LOVE IT!!!!

hi im new here can you give a brief rundown of like you lol?? where youve lived, jobs, partners, interests, give me the idsb lore please!!!!!
hi!! sure, I have a lot of new followers and I was just thinking the other day abt this and how my blog is like 70/30 my personal life v Taylor so that must be confusing for new people. so yes! here's the spark notes:
My name is Holly and I just turned 28! I grew up outside of Boston and lived in NYC for ~10 years after I went to art school there. I dropped out of college after one semester to pursue my actual dream of touring with artists. After I dropped out I spent a while willingly homeless in NYC so that I could establish myself & my career there. Eventually it worked & I had been doing freelance photography, videography, graphic design and merch sales as steady income since ~2017. I was in a 5 year, emotionally abusive relationship with my high school sweetheart and finally ended it in 2018. A bit after this, I went to Australia for the first time with my then-friend now-boyfriend (Nov 2018). I've been obsessed with Australia since I was like 5 years old and it was an incredible adventure. I spent about 3 weeks there alone without then-friend, and during those 3 weeks met a Man. The last night we spent in Australia on this trip was Christmas Eve, and said man invited me to have an outdoor Love Actually screening and have a wine picnic with him and all his friends. it was one of the best nights of my life. We hooked up and he singlehandedly cured some sex-related fears I had from the previous relationship and I couldn't stop thinking about it for months. Back in America (Jan 2019) I entered my hoe phase in a never-ending quest for validation and slept with every guitarist I'd ever worked with while meanwhile having a big mental breakdown. Enter a John Mayer vibing man we called the Guitarist here, and a lot of Bad Shit he did to me in his own validation quest mental breakdown (May-August 2019). Clearly my only choice was to fly back to Australia to see the other guy! And I did (September 2019)! Then I was mega depresso when I went home bc my life felt hopeless & I'd already lived out all the hope it had going for it :) I continued my hoe phase and chronicled it via Spice Nights where I’d just answer nsfw asks and give advice for like 8 hours straight. This is waxing over it but it was chaotic and I cannot understate the Depression (Feb 2020).
Then the pandemic happened whomp whomp. I lost all my gigs and posted about it on Tumblr dot com, this blog gained a very large following sort of bc of being a Taylor blog and sort of bc of live-blogging all the drama. ms Taylor Swift saw it and she sent me $3,000 to cover my rent for all of lockdown. a lot happened as a result of that but in the end I realized it was not smart to stay in NYC and spent summer 2020 roadtripping around the US with my then-friend who had first come to Australia with me, who had since joined the leagues of guitar-playing-employer-i-was-sleeping-with (there were 4 in total but I was in loveeeeee w this one). Big Cruel Summer vibes. my friend group exploded partially as a result of my behavior and partially bc they were cunts who didn't care about John Mayer vibe man manipulating me. So then I said fuck it and moved to Montana to work in a national park w guitar guy I Actually Loved who had become my boyfriend at that point, and we lived there until winter 2021. Then I started touring again, got insanely successful, was making more money than most people I knew with salaried jobs and booking work all over the world, my relationship ended over some drama I found out about way after the fact but then we got back together & moved in together (May 2023). Going great. Then I got so fucking burnt out from my job I was like stop the presses I am fucking off to Australia I can't do the music industry and the mega late-stage capitalism anymore. so now I live in Melbourne and am a bartender at a fancy cocktail bar and my relationship is sort of a LDR but I’m going home soon maybe(?) and that is what you missed on Glee!!!!

Insight
A/N: Part 4 of the baby daddy chronicles. An insight into Attuma and Okoye's toxic ass relationship.
Other Baby Daddy Chronicles
Couple's therapy. Okoye's mother had suggested it first after walking in on one of their explosive arguments one day.
"If you're keeping that man around, you gotta learn how to stop being so petty with him." She had said, pinching her child's arm with a scowl. "I will take the children, and you two will go like adults and air your grievances."
That's how they ended up there. Okoye slouching into the couch deep on one end while Attuma got quite comfortable on the other end, every pillow possible wedged between them.
"So, What is the goal here?" The therapist, Namor, watched the couple take turns rolling their eyes and scoffing before Attuma took liberty to answer.
"I'm doing this for my kids." He sat up a little straighter at the thought of his girls while Okoye scoffed at his bullshit.
"We're doing this cause we're toxic."
Namor, pleasantly surprised by the maturity, smiled just a bit before jotting down some notes.
"Alright. Tell me how you met. Okoye?"
She could remember it like it happened just yesterday. There was a trail she used to walk almost everyday after work. She'd take 30 minutes to decompress before she went home with all the pent up tension.
Attuma had taken to the same routine and had gotten sick of not knowing a thing about the beautiful stranger that walked the trail. One day, they just ended up talking and walking together, staying at the park for almost an hour more than they intended.
Okoye caught her smile before it got too wide as she told the wholesome story. She spared quick glances at Attuma fidgeting with his fingers as he remembered the first thing she did when he approached was punch him in mouth before exclaiming her apologies.
"When we first started it was just sex. Once I got pregnant, then he decided he wanted to date me." Okoye held a certain scorn in her voice as she remembered the tears that burnt her eyes when she realized that she was carrying his children.
"That's not true. I always wanted to be with you. You just wouldn't stop running."
"I don't run, Attuma. That shit was all you!" Subconsciously, her voice began to raise as they continued to contradict eachother.
"I asked you out plenty! You were just too scared to say yes for once!"
"Please! I was just a body to you!" Okoye sucked her teeth, waving his claims off.
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Attuma, now turned towards her began to yell to the point that Namor was afraid he might get a noise complaint about the two.
Okoye of course wouldn't let him slide. "Who the fuck are you yelling at?!"
"You! Cause you don't fucking listen!" He turned to Namor who had turned to jotting down various notes as he listened to the petty spout. "Do you see what I deal with?"
"Uh uh don't go to him for help now!" A pillow got tossed away as Okoye sprung from her seat to across over to Attuma's side of the couch. "So you got feelings for those other bitches you fucking all the time too?!"
"Here we go."
"Nah since you had feelings for me right? You fall in love with every hoe you stick your dick in?!" She continued to invade his space, kicking at his leg lightly until she got a reaction out of him.
Attuma rolled his eyes as he leaned forward to shout in her face.
"How many times I gotta tell you?! Huh? I ain't fucking nobody else!"
"Liar!" Another pillow thrown towards him now. "Fuck you!" Okoye pushed at his shoulder until he rose from his seat and caught her wrists.
"Like you so innocent..Who was that I caught all laid up on you when I went to pick the kids up last week huh?! I'll fuck up whoever you got around my kids! I don't give a shit!"
"That shit is childish! You're childish Attuma!" Okoye tried failed to break from his grip as she continued to yell profanities into his face. "Get the fuck off of me! Grimy ass hands prolly touched every bitch in town!"
She twisted and turned until she got a hand free, only to reel it back and send him a searing slap to his cheek in her rage.
The room enveloped in silence as Namor sat, too used to situations like this to really react. Okoye, feeling a ping of guilt as Attuma's cheek turned a dark shade of red due to the impact but also much to prideful and stubborn to apologize.
Attuma, face burning from the slap, only shook his head as he watched the pity tears fall from her eyes.
"Tell the girls I'll be around to get them on Saturday." He muttered, grabbing his jacket and leaving the room, making sure to slam the door on his way out.
It only took a beat of silence before Okoye slunk back down on the couch, her tears running down her face as she realized what she had done.
"I didn't mean to hit him!" She cried. "I-I just got so pissed! I couldn't think!"
Namor supplied her a box of tissues. "Well...at least now I have some idea of what I'm working with."

people DO NOT see pimping impoverished black women as bad as being a slave owner and I blame neoliberalism (and misogyny of course) for it.
its also cuz some ppl want to ‘debunk’ / anticipate a nb or white chara ‘debunking’ lying ole lou… [everyone is biased here] i think misogynoir is the primary motivator, with the tropes of the ‘slutty jezebel’ being a lot of the cultural messaging ppl receive and internalize about black women.. even in louis’s eyes miss lily is just the friendly hoe that literally has to listen to his problems cuz thats what hes paid her to do. i needs miss lily. n i likes miss lily. he stumbles in the fairplay toe up suicidal saying that. ok but what do u like about her? shes putting on a friendly , supportive face bc u paid her dawg... theres no interest on louis’s end, much less the real world audience on the interiority of miss lily’s character. bricktop’s fate post-ep3 is unknown to us bc after ep3, we dont need to ‘see’ bricktop in the story louis intends to tell from then on. i think chattel slavery + the glorification of the antebellum period in the original vampire chronicles is even more nauseating, and in terms of realworld views, chattel slavery and sex trafficking are inextricable from one another… its not a matter of which is worse, ppl’s entire perceptions of each situation is throwed off to where they implictly believe bc ‘mainly men’ was impacted by slavery that its ‘worse’ [or hold up complete myths about gender dynamics in that time] but like.. u look up how the u.s. black pop went from 400k to millions, u see chattel slavery also entailed disgusting amounts of rape & sex trafficking. anyways the showrunners r pretty explicit in the moral dredges of the situation louis starts off in. the alderman fenwick is introduced amidst his attempted rape of bricktop.. its not the showrunners fault some people cant see the evil in louis facilitating the sexual exploitation of bw to racist powerful men in the city when its all right there for us on the tv screen ykwim

ok, so in the later vampire chronicles books, i see the phrase 'blood spouse' pop up occasionally, but I don't think it's ever fully explained what that means. like, vampires seem kinda polyamorous by nature. is your blood spouse just like, your main lover and the rest are just side-hoes? i need answers anne

Wow was just about to talk about how I reread ego for the 10th time when I see someone already sent you something about it lol just goes to show how absolutely amazing that fic is 😌 but I also wanted to ask about hoe chronicles, are you gonna be updating it? I promise I’m not trying to like pressure or be rude just curious!
thanks, babe! 🥰💜 i really appreciate you enjoying my fic enough to reread that often. i definitely intend to continue hoe chronicles--just will do so when the motivation strikes. the plots for each one have been pretty much fleshed out from the beginning, so now we're just waiting on me to actually write them lol

“im a shameless hoe” no, you’re an EMBARRASING shameless hoe. what were you trying to achieve bitch? it’s not a good thing to be, i was trying to be nice but clearly you’re just a freaky weirdo who has way too much free time.
of course you have no dignity and self respect either, like you’d think you have real priorities like maybe a job or some kids?? but i would trust that you don’t because you’d embarrass them too 💀
*laughs in gainfully employed in a highly skilled industry and happily childless*
Follow the chronicles of shitty, unsolicited advice anon HERE if you feel like a little chuckle on a Saturday morning.

Most and least fave character(s) in vampire chronicles? :)
So like... I don't really have least faves, so I'm just gonna talk about my faves <3
Khayman
KHAYMAN <33 he is so precious. I love how earnest and kind he is. He's literally the strongest vampire in pretty much every group (being literally the 3rd vampire ever does that to a mf) but he is so gentle and doesn't want to hurt anyone. I love how he gets cheesy vampire clothes and a coffin I love how he dreams of being friends with the vampires he meets. I love this old man.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Marius
This old man. VERY flawed. But I do like him a whole lot! I like his conflicted relationship with Armand, and how he pretends to know shit and like, he does but also he doesn't. Artsy hoe, my bestie and my worstie.
Armand
Precious little scrunkle <3 He has beef with pretty much everyone and I'm here for it. He's angsty and immature and cranky and I love him <333
Louis
My original fave <3333 I love him soooo much. First of all, he's a Libra, just like me. Second of all, he's sopping wet and miserable and I love that. He brings a nice balance to Lestats chaotic energy. His full time job is making sure Lestat isn't being stupid. And he loves that job, deep down.

"El Shaddai." From Mark 7: 9-13.
Tumblr media
Jesus continues a public debate, an open air Sanhedrin that is tumble drying various concepts named as mission critical for Jews by the institution. Jesus says play is as important as work provided it is not fraught with trouble in the end. Now he continues, meaning, He wants non-Jews to want to sign up:
9 And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe[c] your own traditions! 778
10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’[d] and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[e]
11 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God)—
 12 then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother. 
13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”
This sounds like a speech made by the Pentagon after 911. "We don't know what we do know and there are the uknowable knowns..." But we do know what God wants, Moses wrote it down for us and we have been reading it for thousands of years. We don't know what we are doing because we are turning away from God - we have started a Third World War, which is a sign we have abandoned God.
To end the war and its causes we must as Jesus said, go back to our roots and no matter one's religion on this planet that means we must all study the Torah. The Septuagint, AKA the Book of Chronicles also says we must all study the Bhagavad Gita, as they are synergistic, so anytime I mention the study of the Torah going forward, assume the BG is also requisite.
This section is relayed in five verses, or in what is called a Hand, meaning it refers to the need for Jewish Royalty. Without a King of Israel and all the Princes and Princesses, there is no way to ensure the meaning inherent in the Torah described the Christ will persist. As the Hand of God, the duties of the King are almost always explained in groups of five.
The Values in Gematria are:
v. 9: You have a fine way. The Number is 7785, ז‎זחה‎ "you moved."
=
You are beaten to the point of realizing you need to be free.
"The verb τινασσω (tinasso) also means to shake, mostly in the sense of to shake loose or free. Homer used this verb to describe how Poseidon shook the boundless earth (Il.20.57), how Aphrodite shook Helen's scented robe (Il.3.385), how Eurymachos kicked his chair to smithereens (Od.22.88), hoe Zeus' monstrous eagles beat their wings (Od.2.151), and how the waves shattered Odysseus' raft (Od.5.368). Other authors spoke of quivering strings, of fruit shaken from a tree, of cumin beaten with a rod (the Septuagint's version of Isaiah 28:27)."
The October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel is an example of a moving experience. The US Government turned its back on law and order for a decade and now the world is paying a hefty bag of a price for it. The persons responsible, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the primary culprits, but certainly not the only ones, beat the tree. And now the fruit is going to fall from the branches.
v. 10: For Moses said. Moses did not say anything. He was not a real person, never has been. But still we say he said things. The Number is 5686, הוחו‎ ‎, "in his mind."
The words that incite the quest for self-definition must come from outside, just as with the message that tells us we are enslaved, must conform, or give up on trying to find the Self. Moses, therefore is ever new.
v. 11: If you say that, you are Corban= "Very close."
"The verb קרב (qarab) means to come near or approach, whether in space, time, socially or emotionally.
Adjective קרב (qareb) means near or approaching. Noun קרב (qerab) means approach and became used to mean battle (somewhat alike our word "engagement"). Noun קרבה (qirba) means approach. Adjective קרוב (qarob) means near and came to denote one's kinsman or neighbor. Noun קרבן (qorban) means offering, or rather a thing one approaches the altar with. Noun קרבן (qurban) denotes a special wood-offering requested for the second temple.
The noun קרב (qereb) is used to denote the internal of either a building or a person. It's been suggested that this word derives from a whole other verb (of unknown meaning) but it may also simply demonstrate that an approach doesn't need to end at a building's outer wall or a person's skin."
The Number is 7558, זההח‎, the same, "the power one asserts over another when one extends a loving touch. Hollow hands, prayer hands are empty."
"From this verb כפף (kapap) comes the ubiquitous noun כף (kap), which is one of two main words for the human hand. The other one, the noun יד (yad) refers mostly to one's loving touch (the look-alike verb ידד, yadad, means to love or fondle), or else the power one exerts over something or someone else; hence expressions like to lay one's hands on someone, or to fall in someone's hands.
Contrarily, our noun כף (kap) is concerned only with what it contains (or emphatically not; empty or hollow hands are often spread upward in prayer: Exodus 9:29, 1 Kings 8:38)."
v. 12: then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother. The Number is 2963, בטוג‎ ‎ ‎"concrete under the crown."
The Torah calls the mind a rock until it produces water, until it finds the need to self-determine. The entire purpose of the Torah is to incite the need to self-determine.
v. 13: You do many things like that. Every living thing knows how to find itself and act like itself but us. We try to turn off the mechanism God gave man to be a unique and intriguing aspect of the creation, ours and his. This is a big problem all around the world. We Americans talk quite a lot about freedom, but we are not free to be. I blame the White House and always will.
The Number is 8888, ףי‎ףח‎, "the force of El on the people."
"The enigmatic name El Shaddai can be explained in many ways, but some scholars propose that it means El of the Mountain. This has nothing to do with the heavenly El's earthly abode, but with the centralizing force El exercises on the people.
A people is only a people when it has a collective identity. One of the primary functions of early deities was to provide that identity and gather the people around or within that identity. The phrase הר־אלהים (har-elohim) occurs in a few variations (Exodus 4:27, Psalm 36:6, 68:15), and some scholars translate this with a majestic or mighty mountain.
But El was not seen as a distant dictator deity, but rather as personification of the national identity, or rather: the Person whose personality would be the personality of the collective; thus establishing it and maintaining it. "
The House of David is expected to maintain the recipe and final flavor of the collective gathering of the people who call themselves Israel. The Name, the gods, the monuments and topography are all supposed to be easily recognizable, but the one thing that is supposed to really stand out is the vision:
"But possibly an even stronger metaphor is the mountain as (1) one's boundary of vision, and (2) a way to expand one's field of vision. The Greek word for boundary or horizon is ορος (horos) and the word for mountain is the highly similar ορος (oros).
Our noun הר (har) comes in a few curious forms. When David speaks of "my mountain" (and that's probably not David's pet hill but rather his vision."
Without an anointed one and a document, a consitution granting him the authority to continually give birth to the vision of Israel, any kook in a beard and beanie hat (or worse, one without) can do it. Then general public will start paying attention, and we see how that is going.

The Art Thief / Noah Charney
Uit een kerk in Rome wordt een Annunziata van Caravaggio gestolen en uit het depot van de Malevich Society in Parijs, één van diens 'wit op wit' schilderijen. In Londen koopt de National Gallery of Modern Art op een veiling bij Christie's een Malevich, die kort daarna ook wordt gestolen, net als een ander — onbekend — schilderij dat op diezelfde veiling is gekocht door een particulier. Gespecialiseerde rechercheurs van resp. de Sureté en Scotland Yard doen, los van elkaar onderzoek, en hebben niet door hoe alles met elkaar samenhangt.
Een irritant boek. De plot is ingenieus, maar het is verschrikkelijk slecht geschreven. Zinnen zoals "[She] sat on the edge of her desk, arms crossed, looking unamused and wearing a black suit." De personages zijn plat, op het karikaturale af.
"What we need," said Bizot, "is a Bible … uh … what's it called when everything's linked up, you know, so you can look up one word and find all the examples … " "A dictionary?" Lesgourges looked confused. "No, not a dictionary. You know, where it lists … " "A thesaurus?" "No! Have you ever heard of a Bible thesaurus? What's the … we need a dictionary to look up the word for dictionary … ah! That's it, a concordance." "Oh, right." On the table next to the computer sat a framed black-and-white photograph of Lesgourges, with a full head of hair, his arms slung around a young woman. The photo frame was dustless. Lesgourges manipulated the keyboard with one hyperextended finger at a time. "Now what do we do?" asked Bizot. "We can just type in a passage name and number, and it will find it for us?" "We'll never need to open a book again. What shall I enter?" "Delacloche suggested that CH could be the abbreviation for the book of Chronicles. But 347 sounds like too many numbers for a chapter or verse. We should try all the combinations, and see if any of the passages make sense. Try," Bizot considered, "Chronicles, chapter 3, verse 4." Lesgourges typed, and the screen stirred to action.
En die erudiete Franse kunstkenners proberen dan eerst 3:4, 3:7 en zelfs 4:7, terwijl iedereen met een beetje bijbelkennis weet dat 3:47 of 34:7 de meeste logische opties zijn… Waar ze hoe dan ook géén concordantie voor nodig hebben.
