⚠️ Things are getting real ⚠️

Read @bhavishyamalika and We are now at the shadow war phase by next year things are going to get worse. Officially WW3 could be declared as there are only 2 countries which stay neutral which are Switzerland and India. Now if India jumps into the War then other nations will too. India got so many enemies and hidden enemies.

Some people are getting prophetic dreams as well and @thecoiledserpent shared their dream. My dream was similar too. Also Everyone will be attacked by Nature and it's already happening now war will take place side by side. This will also increase the diseases y'all know it's not a drill now right.

They shared the way to keep yourself safe. After doing this regularly you'll get even more prophetic dreams. It said that 340 million people will be saved outside India.

Everyone Who wants to get saved follow 3 things

Read Bhagwat Mahapuran daily

Name chanting

3 times Praying to God during twilight, dawn and midday

Now only two options are left D word or Believe in God 🥹

Everyone's heart is filled with anxiety all over the world and the algorithm shows survival kit, how to survive nuclear attack, etc.

Please save yourself everyone at least all of you who are following try doing this you'll see the dreams in few days.

You can ask me in the DM for more. The shit is getting real.

Thank you anon for telling me about this and it helped me alot.

i am sharing some personal thoughts about n*il g*iman under the cut. its been on my mind a lot. getting me down. so i am just getting it out. ftr i wholeheartedly believe and support his victims - those who have been publicly identified and any others. i wish him nothing but rot, and i hope the victims get the justice and peace they need. purely personal thoughts below the cut. cw for mentions all things relating to the ongoing case(s) ie. rape, sexual violence, etc.

taking a moment to just say that the neil gaiman case(s) have honestly fucked a small part of me up for the moment.

it was one thing for me to know that gaiman had shitty coloniser politics that didn't align with my own as an Indigenous fan (dudes briddish, like...not dismissing these things a non-serious issues but there are just things that don't surprise me when it comes to white male british authors), its a whole other thing to cognitively comprehend first hand accounts and recordings of neil gaiman committing and admitting to heinous acts of violation and violence.

it was an easy thing for me to un-pedestal gaiman when his zionism and anti-blackness became obvious and more public, it's another thing (painful and sickening) to have to reckon with the fact that he leveraged people's love for these works to manipulate and harm them. its a different thing to know that the money he got from fans like myself buying those books, films, shows was being used by him to silence and harass these victims and still at this very moment is being used to do that.

something that has really affected me is that in the vulture article, the journalist discusses how ocean at the end of the lane was ("allegendly") a novel he wrote as a means to trauma-plot his shitty behaviour towards women. several friends allege in the article that he wrote that book because he was refusing therapy to deal with the harm he was doing that stemmed from his childhood trauma. if you followed me for a while, you might know that the ocean at the end of the lane is not only my favourite gaiman novel, but my favourite fantasy novel, period. it inspired a lot of my own work but most significantly that book quite literally helped me not to killl myself. i say that without exagerration. it changed my life in ways i struggle to make legible. i carry a copy whenever i go on long trips and own 3 in case i lose one.

it brings me to tears to know the circumstances under which that book was written - however directly and indirectly - are circumstances Gaiman uses to gaslight and DARVO his victims. it genuinely makes me nauseated to know that a book i love so much has not only financially supported gaiman in violence towards these women (as all his works have), but also is something he ideologically uses to justify his actions toward them. it feels so cruel and heartbreaking that book is not just poisined by association, but is implocated directly in his literal rape and trafficking of these women.

for so many years of my life its been a habitual thought, that when i am feeling dangerously hopeless, i think of ocean at the end of the lane or read it and it helped me remember that i exist (as i said hard to really make legible how that book makes me feel sorry). its like a permanent pathway in my brain for years, and now every time my brain habitually goes to go down that path it makes me feel worse. "worse" doesn't even cover it but i am too sad and angry to think of a better word.

i don't really want to say a lot about this, but when i was younger about 10 years ago, gaiman interacted with me several times as a fan online. we were even briefly mutuals for a week on Twitter after i shared a selfie buying my second copy of toateotl at an airport. these interactions have also been poisoned for me in my head. especially, after learning these kinds of interactions were something predatory for the victims and were how gaiman victimised some of the women.

i am not saying any of this to say that i see myself as being equal to the victims. i am not. what they have been through by him is infinitely worse than anything any fan, including myself might be feeling. i don't want anyone reading this to think thats what i am saying. i know i will be fine. there are plenty of other writers who are better in every way, who have also inspired and moved me. i am not without. this is not me saying gaiman was the only author i cared about. this is also not me saying that i'm special for any of this either. i know many ppl are feeling the same or similarly. i am just trying to articulate why this so personally saddens me as well as the genral disgust at everything else that has come to light, thanks to the staunchness of the women who came forward.

nevertheless. against my better judgment or anything that makes sense, i do feel like something tinily fundamental has been scortched in me. nothing, of course, to the degree of the victims. i respect, admire, and thank them for revealing the truth and wish them nothing but the best. it's just so hollowing, so gutting, to have a story and memories you at one point loved so much that a piece of your brain grew around them...only for these things to be party to actions so vile. i truly hope neil gaiman rots in perpetuity for all he has done.

captive prince book 1 highlights & annotations

prologue & chapter 1

indented text is from the book. some quotes have commentary, some do not. some comments are serious, and some are definitely not. most of them will only make sense to people who have read the series. and, like, there are spoilers. so please read the books first if you're interested!

i'm going to tag these longer posts with "sam reads capri" in case anyone wants to read them all at once.

this is a google doc i wrote with overall content warnings for the captive prince series. it's not perfect, but i do think it's important to include.

‘The Prince, we hear, enjoys a challenge,’ said Lady Jokaste. 

she's not incorrect.

Hand picked, she matched all that was known of Damen’s tastes. Her skin was as white as the marble of the baths, and her yellow hair was simply pinned...

damen likes blondes mention #1

The courtiers were nondescript except for one: a young man with an astonishingly lovely face—the kind of face that would have earned a small fortune on the slave-block in Akielos.

“astonishingly lovely face” + “in my fucked-up culture you’d be expensive” great first impression 

also, we’re just jumping right in with damen’s slavery stuff huh? from almost the first page we’re given signs that he is not an entirely morally upright narrator. also that he isn’t really… a slave? which we only see more and more of, in his actions and thoughts, as the story goes on. 

Damen’s attention caught and held.

yeah. we know.

Laurent had stopped dead the moment he had seen Damen, his face turning white as though in reaction to a slap, or an insult.

to be fair, damen murdered his brother

‘What’s your name, sweetheart?’ said Laurent, not quite pleasantly. ‘I speak your language better than you speak mine, sweetheart.’

‘Think what that’d be like, getting a leg over the Prince.’ I imagine it would be a lot like lying down with a poisonous snake, thought Damen, but he kept the thought to himself.

Laurent’s slightly lidded eyes, the slackness around his mouth, spoke of a night wasted in a dissolute courtier’s overindulgence in wine.

context: he got hammered last night because his uncle is terrorizing him with the man who killed his brother. the reader might assume that laurent drinks all the time, but in reality he only drinks in extreme instances like this

‘Petty prejudice,’ said Laurent.

the regent knows damn well that this man killed auguste. this is a shitty thing to say, whether or not he knows that laurent recognizes damianos

what lurks beneath

kinktober prompt: double penetration in two holes lake monster eddie fic | explicit | 6k happy birthday @matchingbatbites!! 🥳

He's been dragged beneath the surface of the water once before.

Hanging out with his friends their first night back here, he felt something slither around his ankle and pull. He struggled under the water for a few moments before it let go and he swam back up.

It was pretty dark out, so he couldn't see anything under the water when he looked beneath him.

He'd been freaked out, but no one had seen anything or felt anything except for him. They thought he was making it up at first, but when he refused to get back in the water for the rest of the summer, they knew he had to have felt something.

Tommy tried to tell him it was a fish or seaweed, but Steve knows what he felt.

Something pulled him under.

He won't say it out loud to the rest of them, but he's afraid of going back in. There's something deep within him that says it's not safe.

So for the rest of the summer, he watches his friends splash around in the lake from the safety of the shore or the pier, stewing on it the entire time.

Because nothing happens to any of his friends when they're in the water.

So maybe he did overreact to something normal in the lake. Maybe he felt some seaweed on his ankle and just freaked out.

He's watched his friends for months now and nothing has happened since that night.

So it had to just be in his head, right?

That's what he's telling himself as he drives up to the lake alone, late at night, determined to prove to himself that it was nothing.

[OOC POST]

Design Notes: Kinito

-Kinito is your friendly virtual assistant, so I leaned into the idea of a slightly fancier outfit, but nothing too much. Something an office assistant for a higher representative of a company might have worn. After all, the player is pretty high in Kinito's eyes.

-The idea of a formal but simple outfit is what I tried sticking to. Something that could be easily drawn over and over without too many glaring possible inconsistencies. I would have to draw them over and over for the blog, I knew that from the beginning.

-While I wanted to stay in regular clothing you'd see everyday, I still wanted this to be Kinito. In comes the use of pinks in places you usually wouldn't see them in in a usual scenario, such as the buttons and vest.

-I liked the idea of them having long hair. As part of keeping the whole slightly professional theme going on, I decided him having his hair up would work best.

-Kept the lower half the same colour as Kinito's original model does the same. I considered using the web world pink boots variant, but it didn't quite fit with the rest of the ideas.

-Since it was easily possible to keep their animal characteristics even in a human appearance, I did so. You'll notice I struggled to do so with Sam and Jade, however.

-While in-story Kinito changes sprites in an attempt to appeal to the players more (and gets new sprites for Sam and Jade upon their return), out of story the truth stands that I am not a great animal artist. You might have noticed in the flashback.

Design ideas that didn't make the cut (mostly because they would be inconvenient to draw consistenly)

-Possible freckles

-A more detailed vest

-Glasses (Permanent ones. Decided they'd just pop in here and there instead)

The Virus

A virus which will spread among the people who eat meat will take many lives and people who are becoming vegan unknowingly is because they still have time left on this earth but the people who still loves to eat meat will not survive on this earth.

Many animals, fishes, birds are dying all around us.

This is all not a coincidence. Just replace them with human bodies that's what's going to happen. Just yesterday I forced my mom to watch the movie named Grave of Fireflies 👇 to let her know how things could go.

I hope you guys too watch this movie and try to stay away from meat if you still want your time on earth otherwise keep eating 👍

I can only Warn that's what God do Warn people but it's still your Karma to do what you wanna do so still stay safe ❤️ 🕊️
