A huge thank you to all the wonderful writers in this fandom for sharing your stories and providing us with a place to retreat through your words and visions. The fics mentioned in this post represent only a small selection of the amazing works out there.

🍂 hard times in elmsmere by @stylinsoncity [E, 37k, friends to lovers]

in elmsmere, a vampire’s need for blood is only awakened after their first feed. and with their first taste of the vein comes strength, speed and in louis’ case, raging bloodlust for harry, his best mate since the age of three. for louis, being a full-fledged vampire complicates everything, not just his relationship with harry but with harry’s entire coven who took Louis in as an orphan.

he’s struggling enough to adjust to life in the present when an older version of harry magically appears to him and requests his help in the future.

🍂 Oh My, My, My by brightlouis / @sheherlestat [E, 27k, porn star au]

Harry has been working in the adult entertainment industry for years. He’s seen it all— or at least he thinks he has. When he starts working for Sweet Creature, an ethical indie porn studio, he meets Louis. Filming together proves difficult when feelings are involved. Featuring: a little pink bungalow, summertime sunlight, Zayn as the director, Liam as his video-editor boyfriend, and Niall as the aloof roommate.

🍂 Be with me so happily by BriaMaria / @briannamarguerite [E, 42k, enemies to lovers]

The one where Harry Styles has a bad reputation and a heart of gold, and Louis Tomlinson wishes he wasn't so enchanted by boys who looked like Disney characters and wore shirts with bumble bees on them.

[aka Louis is the director of the Styles Elephant Sanctuary and really doesn't want to babysit his funder's spoiled lay-about son for two months]

🍂 Home Remedies by @kingsofeverything [E, 4k, friends to lovers]

Louis’ hiccups just won’t stop. Harry, his roommate and best friend, is willing to do anything to help.

🍂 Battle Cry by Velvetoscar / @mizzwilde [NR, 21k, university AU]

Harry's got a heart, a soul, and a band. And with that, obviously, comes a future paved in great success, right? So all he has to do is win the Battle of the Bands, right? Simple.

What's not so simple is the fact that Louis Tomlinson is his biggest competition. And also happens to be made of everything that Harry's ever wanted.

No... That's not simple at all.

🍂 Coração selvagem by Stria (Asia117) / @nooradeservedbetter [E, 50k, omegaverse]

Louis' life in his newfound Pack gets disrupted by an old flame coming back for him, shifted and feral. 

🍂 Home calls the heart by @itsmotivatingcara [E, 44k, enemies to lovers]

A series of unfortunate events lands Louis Tomlinson in the heart of Texas.

After running from his life in London and a performative marriage, he leaves a scandal in his wake.

Home calls the heart, as his Nana always said. Though her words couldn't be truer when he decides to take up her offer to watch over Hyacinth ranch while she travels abroad.

He figured the worst he'd have to deal with would be the meddlesome goats, some repairs and an errant spirit or two. That is, until the gorgeous Cowboy next door makes his presence known.

🍂 Reduce Me To A Pleading Cry (Break The Skin and Tantalize) by @taggiecb [E, 37k, bdsm]

Harry is a broody submissive boss, Louis is a natural dom who works in the mail room at Styles & Styles, Niall is a matchmaking oracle, and a slender, dark haired man stands mute at the coffee stand encouraging others to spill their secrets.

🍂 Colorful Hearts by @larrysmomfics [M, 20k, crack fic]

In a world where orgasmic emissions change color depending on the person’s mood, Louis Tomlinson’s semen has only ever been blue. At the recommendation of his doctor he attends a support group for people with similar conditions. The leader of Colorful Hearts, a therapist named Harry, is positively swoonworthy and sets Louis at ease right away. Needless to say that Louis isn’t aware yet that so much more than the color of his spunk is about to change.

🍂 Black Leather, Blue Lace by @insightfulinsomniac [E, 8k, soulmates, exhibitionism]

Two weeks ago, Louis met his soulmate on the way to his sister's birthday brunch. Now, it's finally time to introduce his - self proclaimed - "city girl" partner to his best friends and fellow farmhands. What better way to spend a summer evening with the people he loves than by hosting a bonfire, complete with s'mores and hayrides?

It's even better when your soulmate is an exhibitonist who agrees to fuck on the hayride under a blanket in front of all of your oldest friends.

ive always subscribed to the idea that iemitsu isn't giotto's direct descendant, nana is, considering tsuna looks like her which means she looks like giotto, and that iemitsu's declaration as direct descendant is a ruse to protect her identity and the truth about primo retiring to japan

not only that but considering the dojo and the shrine named after asari, giotto definitely made his home in namimori, and nana is a local

i can see giotto and several of his guardians assimilating with the local culture and marrying japanese wives, and that's how you get the sasagawa, the hibari, and the sawada, and the fact and gokudera's mom was part-japanese would mean she was the direct descendant of G

Vongola Intuition would be a great asset for the development of Namimori. while growing up in Europe I can see Giotto was at first ostracized for his supernatural ability but in Japan he was treated as a soothsayer instead considering Japanese culture on spirituality

I doubt Tsuna was the first Sawada who inherited Vongola Intuition either, and I can see for generations the Sawada got treated as some kind of family of Kannagi (shaman in shintoism) who the town turn to for advice before making any big decisions

but as science progresses and beliefs in the supernatural decreases people no longer believe in the Sawada being some sort of oracle and no longer rely on them for everything. which is pretty great for the Sawada considering how stressful it must be burdened by the town's worships and expectations

I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of the many reasons Giotto left Vongola in the first place

Oracle Cell: Considering the reasons for the existence of the Special Unit, perhaps AfO enlisted members from the orphanage he had to hold his backup bodies. (Assuming he still has that here.) Thereby, I suggest Touya to join Izuku, potentially alongside Tenko if AfO still came across him.

This gets complicated because of the lack of Heroes, All Might, and possibly One For All. There's no All Might for Endeavor to obsess over so Touya was never told he was born for a specific reason and then discarded, and if Nana did die, well, it's the apocalypse and she was fighting for her family, so Tenko was unlikely to be abused.

A Soldier's Farewell

ft. Khari Braithwaite

Adrenaline raged inside the man's chest as the engine the fueled him pumped with only a pride that his Nana would be proud of. The honor of his journey led him this far and it wouldn't fail him. Not now. Oracle's mind was mighty. Strong in every discipline. And his telepathy was far from a small pebble cast into the sea. It surged through Boudica's thoughts. Her memories. What he could decipher in the fraction of a blink was integrated into his own. But her battle violently spun out of her own control. Every passing moment Oracle was sending small psionic bombs, detonating upon contact. Her sonic screams fizzled in effectiveness. The slacked jaw. The drooping eyes. The poor ability to keep her focus. All of it made the man grin in delight.

"Run up?! Get SMACKED!" The shout barely encompassed the wave that rocked her shit. Her body slightly convulsed. Her stubbornness still preventing her surrender to be effective. She'd focus on the integrity of the structure, trying to burrow just deep enough to expose the skeleton of the beast that was Atlantis. He was careful not to harm Vulcan during his showmanship. The man rooted deep and the thrashing increase in succession. The screaming was grew intermittent- like a blinking light bulb meeting the end of it's lifecycle.

That was the highlight. Recounting the last few moments was far more difficult as staff secured the lifeless body of the Czernobog operative. He could faintly remember congratulating Vulcan on a pretty successful interception. Atlantis could stand to operate, yet again. Though, something felt terribly wrong. His own senses betrayed him. The corridor grew longer and skewed. His own legs barely capable of sustaining his own weight. His own perception corrupting the system, so to speak. He'd give way. A heavy thud bellowed in the small span of the area. Someone could think this was his way of displaying his fatigue. Though, internally, it was so much more. His breathing altered under the weak shifting of his gaze. The swiping motion made him dizzier as nothing seemed to 'catch up'. "For..give me, Ma." He barely whispered as he used the wall for leverage. He continued. Refusing to give in to whatever this influence was.

The Hangar Bay.

Khari stumbled. His feet barely capable of the steps he'd force upon them. Knees buckled beneath him. He fell forward by a few steps as he sank to a kneeling hold. His arms freely to his side as it seemed he'd already lost the functionality of them. His neck craned toward the open span of the enclosed space. He took an inhale and let his telepathic pulse consume every conscious and able PANDORA agent. "This is a final push! This is Oracle's Blight!" It was a mighty display of his abilities. He channeled all of his psionic energy and granted the agents an edge against these machines - To perform at a higher degree of their own mental capacity. And with that, the connection was severed.

Khari's eyes drifted toward the ceiling. His gaze pooling red as he felt his own body grow numb to the thrum that coursed every inch of his body. He'd let out a shaky sigh. Final messages sent out to those that needed to hear from him. At least one last time. Especially the one who he'd know would suffer the most. He'd answer those weary concerns of agents who didn't feel they were capable, dispelling any doubt in their own abilities. Those were the people he'd always care most about- the soldiers underestimated by themselves or the world.

One final push.

[m0rbidity]

  blasting  cowboy like me by taylor swift down main street, we've spotted ÍDE MACARTHY sporting her signature gold cross necklace. the twenty-five year old MEDIUM, who's been in town since may 2nd 2025 often can be seen loitering around the old haunt, chain smoking, watching films & then giving them incoherent reviews on letterboxd, singing & playing the guitar or the banjo wherever she feels like it, loitering around the fair (she likes to loiter, okay?) or working as a SALES ASSOCIATE at MIDNIGHT STEEP. people say they display silver-tongued and selfish traits but we rather trust in their vibes: a deck of old tarot cards that’ve been stained & burned & torn, gaudy psychic aesthetics in dreamy orange neon to entice non-believers, musky & spicy perfume in lethal doses, old boots with the soles hanging loose, wearing different faces for different places. also, we've heard they love SCAMMING & SCHEMING ! aren't they fascinating ?

DETAILS .

name: íde aislin macarthy nicknames: anything within reason but she'll probably hate whatever your muse comes up with pronouns: she/her age: 25 sexuality: bisexual probably species: oracle birthday: january 15th 2000 languages: english & some irish (gaeilge) from school i: name should be pronounced as ee-ja or ee-da. she doesn't particularly like her name because she thinks it sounds too much like eejit but also can't be fucked to change it. ii: distantly related to calahan macarthy (on her father's side). unaware of this. will soon be aware of this. he's her great, great, great uncle. or... great great granduncle. iii: lives in her car, which is a hearse so there's space for a mattress. it's built to drive on the other side of the road, though.

PERSONALITY.

coming soon. I like to write a little before writing this lmao.

BIOGRAPHY BELOW .

. trigger warnings for forced adoption, mental illness, parental death & suicide

She was a folk musician by trade: at first, the wide-eyed Annie McNulty, a Waterford raised beauty who could pluck at the heartstrings of any man she wanted with the careful plucking of her trusty banjo. But Annie was conflicted, though, mostly about her place in Catholic Ireland, and she'd grown to realise that her devout but loving parents were not hers biologically. Faith was harder and harder for her to grasp to, so music became her sanctuary.

But she fell, like rain tumbling down the mountains of Wicklow. In love with one David Macarthy, a cemetery keeper from Wicklow town, a perfect Catholic match. It wasn't long before the pair were wed, and then had their one daughter on a cold, dry winter morning, just two weeks into the new millennium. Íde, named by her father for the feast day of which she was born (that of Íte of Killeedy). Her ma couldn't stop crying.

Ann Macarthy wasn't a happy woman. Nor was she a cruel one, but something was wrong and she couldn't quite place it. The only time she felt alive was when she played her music, and that was all Íde knew to associate with a mother's love.

And when she was ten, nana moved in and told her there was no more ma, that she'd never see ma again. That ma was dead, and that ma's banjo was Íde's now.

But Íde did see her ma. She saw her everywhere — in the corner of mirrors, through the haze of windows, sitting next to her on the bus. And she spoke to her, too. It took a while for Íde to realise she had a gift. A shitty one.

And even worse, somehow, was that she'd inherited her mother's love for music. Idly strumming the banjo seemed to appease the ghost of her mother that she could never quite escape, but it also appeased something within herself, too. Some stubborn part of herself itched to forge her own path, though, and picked up the cheapest guitar imaginable.

An increasingly haunted teenager, Íde became something of a wild child, which severely damaged her relationship with her father. It wasn't cruelty between them, or dislike, even. There was just... nothing. It was like trying to catch smoke. It didn't help that daddy was still Catholic, possibly the only one left in the family with any kind of faith.

At eighteen, Íde left and never returned to him, always promising to call but never daring to. She got by using her own wits, tricking the most unsuspecting people with her psychic act (that wasn't really an act) to try and get money from them. And she moved from place to place, away from the gorgeous town of Wicklow and to wherever she hadn't been yet.

And her next stop? Portum.

[eurovision-revisited]

Eurovision 2006: The Interval Act and Other Performances

From the outset, ERT is putting Greek history and culture at the forefront of its musical offering at Eurovision. It kicks off with perhaps one of the greatest opening musical montages in Eurovision history. A host of camp versions of mythological Greek figures act out Eurovision songs from the past including Nel blu dipinto di blu and Save Your Kisses for Me. There's nothing quite like witnessing Prometheus taking fire from the gods while miming along to A-Ba-Ni-Bi to tell you that Eurovision has arrived.

Our two hosts join in with the final rendition of Love Shine a Light as the pantheon is raised high above the stage. Straight from the overture and into the main body of the night seamlessly.

The small breaks in the running order to let the stage crew have a small breather are simple cutaways to the green room (semi-final) and time lapsed montage footage of the behind the scenes preparations - something that is almost a tradition at this point.

The interval for the semi-final is the traditional local dance culture, ranging from swirly-skirted women rotating, to the more linear Greek line dancing. Pan makes an appearance with a flute in what looks like the middle of a labyrinth - although that's myth-mixing, so I'm not sure I'm correct.

The final also opens with a bang. There's a sun full of Icaruses that slowly approaches the stage like a meteorite threatening the Earth in a 1950s B-movie. I'm not sure what health and safety assessments were required to strap at least twelve gold painted men to a massive globe suspended from the ceiling then winch it hither and thither through the air, but I hope their skimpy gold trunks were unsoiled. It looks terrifying.

While this is occurring, Foteini Darra is singing a piece composed especially for the opening of the final - The Mermaid Song - which has some of the most forced lyrics I've heard. There's a ballet going on around her to represent the sea and the wind. For a finale, resplendent in a white suit, Sakis enters on wires descending from the roof in a John Travolta pose. Maria enters similarly on wires, but she has a whole lot more trepidation and less élan floating around above the massive audience. You can sense her relief when she reaches the stage and her harness is removed by the ballet dancers.

This is followed by our first dose of Helena Paparizou for the evening, opening with a reprise of last year's winning song My Number One. She's back as the voting is taking place to perform her big Greek hit Mambo! The voting sequence itself is launched by former Luxembourg Eurovision representative Nana Mouskouri, born on Crete and one of Greece's most famous contemporary figures.

The main interval is another ballet/dance sequence commissioned by ERT for the evening. This one is 4000 Years of Greek Song which takes in everything from chants from Oracles, through a sequence that seems to imply that Greece taught birds to sing. The are larger than life puppets, and a section that's approaching but isn't quite Zorba the Greek.

The highlight is that opening mix of Eurovision's past. It's possibly the first show-opening medley of songs that I can remember and definitely one designed to highlight the stage and get you in the mood both for Eurovision itself as well as a night of siting in an amphitheatre watching Greek culture.

Okay Dark Lord of Derkholm AU. I don't believe you've read that book from what I recall of our Dianne Wynne Jones conversation, so I will be sure to explain the relevant parts of the plot as we go.

Our setting is a world that vibes similar to a standard fantasy setting -- which is a key plot point -- and they have a serious problem. The Badminton Twins who are business men who forty years ago managed to capture a demon, which they use as leverage to make the demon king do their bidding. (I have no strong feelings on who should be the demons, but I do think it would be funny if it were Mary and Doug, and since the demon king does help our protagonists, but really only to secure freedom for himself & his mate, it works). Their bidding being to force the upholding of a contract the people of this world signed to hold Badminton's Pilgrim Parties.

Every year they have to do up their world to look like an even more exaggerated and tropey version of a fantasy setting, all of which must conform to the Badminton's exact very racist and sexist expectations, and give a fantasy world quest to 100+ parties of about 20 Pilgrims (people from our world) which culminates in them defeating the Dark Lord and saving the world. They are paid for this service, but it's significantly less than what the Badmintons earn selling the experience, and also significantly less than the cost of running it in resource and labor on the people in the world.

(It's a colonialism. The whole story is an anti-colonialism & -capitalism allegory that's honestly pretty light on the allegory part of it.)

Our story starts with Spanish Jackie, Chancellor of the Wizard University, having an emergency meeting with a number of other various guild leaders, heads of state, high priests, etc. etc. About how they are going to stop the Pilgrim Parties. Their plan is to go see the two Oracles and do what both of them say. The instructions come down as make the first person you see the Dark Lord and the second person you see the Wizard Guide for the last tour group. Upon exiting the second Oracle, the first two people they see are Stede and his younger human son Olu.

Stede is regarded by people in this universe to be just as cringefail as he is in canon. He did technically graduate from the University and is a wizard, but he did very poorly. The trouble was he couldn't seem to conform to what was required of him -- which was to perform to specific standards to cater to the Pilgrim Party economy -- and only wanted to do his own magic that he was good at. The University was a very traumatizing experience for him and decimated his self-esteem, but he now has a beautiful farm/estate with a whole bevy of animals and a loving husband and many children where he is very happy and can focus on the type of magic he likes (or at least he could until this whole Dark Lord thing interrupted).

His preferred magic is kind of like a biology magic, I guess? Plants and animals. He's super great at using magic to grow any kind of plant. Nana, a high priestess/queen of one region, gives him an orange that she bought off of a Pilgrim because she is fully confident Stede will be able to use the pips from this fruit that isn't native to their entire world to grow a whole grove of orange trees. And as far as animals, at his home he has flying pigs, flying talking horses, Friendly Cows (they are so fucking dumb, but they have kind eyes), invisible cats, super intelligent geese (which tbf, I'm pretty sure are just normal cats & geese), etc. etc.

As to his children, Frenchie is the eldest. He's in training to become a bard. And I already mentioned Olu, who is the next oldest and who wants to train to be a wizard. These two are probably adopted in this version of the story. And then we move on to his & his husband's biological kids.

Pete is the oldest, and he and Olu are often refer to as the twins since they are about the same age. Pete is also a humongous black griffin. Yeah, so Stede took some of his cells, his husband's cells, cells from a lioness, and some cells from an eagle, did some kind of magic, put it in an egg, and out hatched a baby griffin, who is also a whole sapient person. John, Roach, and Swede (and possible Ivan & Fang, haven't decided on that) are their other griffin children.

For the rest of the crew, starting with Lucius, he is an elf prince in this one. He and his people are supposed to pose as dark elves and the Dark Lords minions. Stede manages to get Lucuis to agree to give him some additional help because (and this is different than the book) Lucius is into Pete. Lucius the elf is dtf the massive griffin, because why not.

For Jim, as a reminder Olu is the wizard guide for the last tour group (and Frenchie comes along too as their group bard). Jim is one of the Pilgrims in that group, but it eventually comes out they're here to try to figure out what happened to their parents, who went on a tour when they were just a kid, and never came back. We don't find out for sure what happened, but we are able to conclude that the Jimenezes were probably marked down as expendable.

Because yeah that's another service the Badmintons offer. You can pay an exorbitant sum to get an X put down next to a person's name, and that person will meet with an unfortunate accident and simply not make it back from their trip to the other world.

(Also in Olu & Frenchie's tour group are Evelyn, Hornberry, and Wellington. They are posing as a married couple plus sibling, though I'm not sure which configuration of that would be funniest. Ultimately it doesn't matter because they are all revealed to actually be undercover agents from various government organizations in our world investigating the shady shit the Badmintons are pulling).

Buttons is the nickname that is given to a dragon that randomly shows up, half-crazed and very confused. HE just took a little 100 year nap, and when he woke up the world was entirely different. Stede helps hims recover and reacclimate, and in return Buttons helps him out with the whole Dark Lord thing.

And then, saving the best for last, Ed. Obviously Ed is Stede's aforementioned husband. He is a very well-respected wizard and can do these little pocket universe things that everyone loves. When Stede is volunteered to be the Dark Lord, Ed is likewise assigned the role of Glamorous Enchantress. The vibe here of the Enchantress and her domain seems like it's kind of going for a Fae Queen & her court kind of thing. Anyway, as the Glamorous Enchantress Ed is required to look extraordinarily beautiful and extremely sensual if not overtly sexual. I'm picturing him having shaved his beard for the role and lounging about in his loose plait, pearls, a robe, and probably nothing else. To the point that when Frenchie & Olu's group show up off-schedule because Olu got them horribly lost and this was the first place they were able to find, Ed is running around freaking out trying to find his tiny gold shorts (thinking a real RHPS number here) because his kids are coming and he needs his least slutty outfit.

As for the actual plot beats, mainly what's important is that the story is about Stede and his kids running around trying to fulfill all the requirements of the Dark Lord role through an escalating series of everything that can go wrong, will. Made worse by all the people who have had enough of the Pilgrim Parties and are actively protesting in some fashion or another, and Izzy, another wizard who is supposed to be helping them but is actually secretly working for the Badmintons, helping them to mine magic from the ground and import it back to our world, and Spanish Jackie who has decided that the point of Stede being the Dark Lord must be that he's going to fail so hard that the whole operation is going to fall apart, and secretly actively working to make things harder for him.

The worst of Jackie's actions being the enchantment she put on Ed to compel him to leave Stede, so Stede is dealing with all of this and the additional stressor of his marriage suddenly and inexplicably falling apart. Of course when Jackie finally realizes what an asshole move that was and removes the enchantment, Ed is immediately all over Stede, like oh my god, I'm so sorry, I didn't even realize how I was acting, I love you so much.

So our happy ending when things all come to a head, Izzy is discovered for his crimes and arrested. Mary is set free and she and demon king Doug go off together. The gods show up (finally) and imprison the Badmintons inside the jar they kept Mary in and put Jackie in charge of working toward setting the world back to rights after the mess the Pilgrim Parties made of it. All the Pilgrims go back home to their own world, except Jim who decides to stay. Pete and Lucius official become an item. Buttons is revealed to be king of the dragons. And we end with Stede & Ed deciding to have another baby, this time a winged human. The End.

WIP Wednesday: Sendai bit

hmmm... what to pull for WIP Wednesday.... How about the most recent bit not in the NSFW file? Even if we SOOO far from it being implemented, granted the most recent work in NSFW is dated for October Post-Strikers... Love skipping around the timeline.

“Dude, why are you so into playing up being the ‘Chosen Heroes’ anyway?”

“I feel like you just asked a forbidden question.”

“What? Like you aren’t curious too?” “My sisters.”

“Not enough– oh you know what, that makes sense.”

“Right, Joker has two younger sisters.”

“Depending on how you define Nana-chan he has three. Adding me and Violet makes it 5.”

“Joker, you collect little sisters like some people collect cats.”

“Hey, is that why we’ve always been on 4-person forward teams?” The team got a shrug as their leader jumped to the area above a series of Shadows

“Mona did step into an exclusively navigator role in the fight when I awoke to my Persona.”

Oracle was quick to switch gears calling, “Get ready guys, Shadows in 3, 2–” Joker jumped and landed on the Shadow’s shoulder, ripping the mask off before rolling off and away.

[eimearkuopio]

Okay. This is where I have been ranting, so I should probably put out the stuff I wrote on paper at this stage.

Philosophies

I might be wrong.

Fail better.

Quality of life over quantity of life.

Suffering is not inevitable*, and it has no innate value**.

There is still hope.

First, know your values. Then, follow them.

Communication is key. So is kindness.

YourLogicalFallacyIs.com

*To be clear: every life will contain some suffering. But you don't need to seek out and hoard suffering the way people lacking in serotonin tend to idolise and venerate.

**It is a spectacular raw material. You can turn it into almost anything if you can tell the story properly. That's real transubstantiation, just like real communion is not just the Eucharist. I'm not here to override any existing faith, just to augment it.

That's the philosophies. Then there were little boxes that I annotated.

I love you all. It's okay.***

The Universe doesn't owe any individual happiness.

God isn't going to stop you. Should He need to?

Suffering is not inevitable, and it has no instead value.****

***I didn't know how this was going to work out. I definitely did not anticipate a complete break with reality resulting in sectioning, but maybe I should have.

****Yes, I wrote this down twice. It's that important.

Hypotheses

Humanity as a singular moral entity

Ethical immune system

Allergies/autoimmune conditions

Judaism as proto-immune cells*****

"Time" a form of separation for events, but events all exist across infinite spacetime field

Premonitions relate to likely outcomes

Human perception of "God" of necessity filtered through subjective human experiences => if objective morality exists, by definition inaccessible to humans

*****This is super important: Judaism is the oldest written religion, and the younger sibling religions treat them like shit most of the time. With that being said, what is currently happening in the Middle East is unacceptable and if we can't improve the situation...I don't know why everyone keeps insisting that the Apocalypse hasn't happened yet, is all.

So that's the more structured stuff. I handed that over to official folks in...uh, July. So that's how long people have been aware of what I'm dealing with, and doing sweet fuck-all about it. I only fell apart in October, because nobody was fucking helping me. I was trying to deal with all of this alone. Even now, I'm getting mental health support from the NHS (not super great because they have been underfunded and because I mask so well that they thought I was fine right up to the point where they decided I needed to be sectioned for me own good), but my purported faith is doing absolutely fuck-all to engage with me. Some people have excuses for that; others don't. I think they might be waiting to see if I'm going to come out the other side of this not wanting to still engage with my faith, so let's be clear: if they don't want me to be involved, I would prefer to be excommunicated sooner rather than later so that I can get on with my life. If they do want me to be involved, I would really like to actually have someone talk to me.

I think Nana had some weird beliefs that she confused for knowledge. I think she tried to cut the Catholicism-baby in half, instead of accepting discord within our faith. I think Catholicism is trying to do better by bringing synodality into play, but I genuinely don't know if we have time as a species for them to change instead of dying - and if we lose the incredible infrastructure of the Roman Catholic Church, we will probably not get to have another generation imo.

Our faith claims that if we ever try to declare things infallibly as part of our doctrine, the Holy Spirit, the Shekhinah, will be sent to prevent that error. I'm not declaring myself to be anything, because I already went fucking bugnuts and got kind-of better, but I'm declaring myself to be either a crazy Echo of a Prophet who might be a useful Oracle, or a crazy Auntie Eimear who wants to prevent any children from suffering what I suffered due to the failures of the Roman Catholic Church. I have sent them everything I can. I told them that my husband didn't sign up for the Prophet, just the woman, so I'd like to get this out of the way ASAP. I have received zero formal response, and I'm sure that's at least in part because they don't want to be seen to be encouraging my behaviour, so here's my declaration:

I am human.

It definitely feels like I got to choose to be human, but that's the choice I made.

I think an individual human is created in the image of God.

I think every individual has a minimum of five parts: mind and body (accident), plus soul, story, and context (substance).

Mind is about memories you can access in the collective unconscious or in the memory of the universal simulation. It's also about choices you make, but those are influenced by the other stuff.

Body can be cloned or healed or supplemented.

Soul... Is complicated. But I think the eyes are the window to the soul. Eye colour is determined by physician structure within the eyes. I think irises may be unique even between otherwise fungible bodies. Even between different days of the same body, depending on light and other things. This isn't my wheelhouse so I'm just giving the best version I can of my weird crazy explanation.

Story is who you believe you are. True names and perception of self. A combination of ego and of the version you see reflected in others' perception of you. I have very little ego. I'm not saying I have no pride! I'm saying the ego is the part that mediates between id and superego, and I suck at that without other people reflecting on my actions. The bicameral mindset and neurodivergence come into play here.

Context is the world at large and the village you inhabit. It's the source of guilt and shame and pride and ambition, and each of those things has a purpose but if you have a weak Story you don't know how to manage them.

I have so many other thoughts, but this is the best way I can find to write them out and make them available to the world. Because I'm an Echo and a human. It's so much easier to just reblog things than to formulate my own thoughts, especially when my substance has been so horrifically depleted by a world that thinks my mask is my substance. I survived whatever this was. It was a nearer thing than I would like, but that's because I've already survived a minimum of seven ego deaths without any outside help. So I'd really like some more help. Any volunteers?
