#🔸.about his son

[montereybayaquarium]

It’s the sea-son of love! When’s a better time than now to learn about fish courtship behavior?

🔸Behold! The bright and beautiful garibaldi! 🔶

Garibaldi courtship includes lots of nest cleaning and gardening by the male to lure a mate, perfectly pruning the perfect patch of algae to prove his potential for parenthood. When a female garibaldi signals her interest by swimming towards the nest with all her fins upright, the male tries to entice her by swimming in loops.

Their dance doesn’t last long though—as soon as the female lays her eggs, the male garibaldi chases her away before fertilizing them. In fact, much of the work of raising eggs is handled by the male. 

And since the garibaldi is also the state marine fish of California, that of-fish-ially makes them our valentine! 🧡

🔸 Serapis Bey 🔸 Talon Abraxas Serapis Bey is the chohan of the fourth ray, hierarch of the Ascension Temple at Luxor, and the thirteenth member of the Council of Adepts of the Ascension Temple. He is also known as Serapis Soleil, Serapis of the Sun.

The fourth ray is the ascension flame, the white light of the Mother in the base-of-the-spine chakra. Out of this white light comes architecture, the principles of mathematics, the foundations of the building of the Matter temple and the pyramid of Self. In the presence of Serapis, one knows an entirely different conception of what we call the Christ, the real person of us all.

Embodiments

Known as the Great Disciplinarian, Serapis came from Venus with the Ancient of Days to rekindle the sacred fire in the hearts of a wayward mankind. His great enthusiasm to reclaim the sons of man as kings and priests unto God swelled and mounted into a flame of iron will, determination and discipline.

High priest in the Ascension Temple

He was a priest in the Ascension Temple on Atlantis. As guardian of the ascension flame, he carried the flame safely up the Nile River to Luxor just before Atlantis sank. Serapis gives us a glimpse of this experience in his own words:

I remember well when the first rumblings of the sinking of Atlantis were present. For, as you know, the sinking of that continent came in stages. By the grace of God, the warning given allowed many to escape. And we made our way to Luxor....

You may wonder why a spiritual flame requires transporting by mere mortals. It is always so that children of the light tend to think that such things ought to happen magically and miraculously. Perhaps a touch of the fairy tale has spilled over into religion, and people have forgot that all that has been wrought by God and man has been the joint work and effort, above and below.

I will tell you, then, why it is so—because the only place that the flame can truly abide, apart from the altar so dedicated, is the living heart of the living adept.

There in Egypt, Serapis and the brothers who accompanied him built the Ascension Temple, and there they have guarded the flame ever since, alternating duties as they continued to reembody specifically for that purpose.

Serapis Bey continued to reincarnate in the land of the Nile, foregoing his own ascension until about 400 B.C. In these lifetimes he became the sponsor of some of the greatest architectural feats that have ever been brought forth upon the earth.

Serapis Bey, the chohan of the ascension flame and hierarch of the Ascension Temple at Luxor, Egypt, speaks to each one of us:

"The future is what you make it, even as the present is what you made it. If you do not like it, God has provided a way for you to change it, and the way is through the acceptance of the currents of the ascension flame."

Glasses

🔸 Stonathan Masterlist

Synopsys: In which Jonathan finds out Steve wears glasses.

A/N: Steve Harrington wears glasses and that is not up for debate!

Jonathan pulls up in front of the Harrington residence, spotting two cars parked in the driveway. He takes a deep breath. Having to deal with Steve's parents can be exhausting at times.

Mrs. Harrington is a nice lady but can also be slightly snobbish at times, while Mr. Harrington has the personality of a rock worn by the tides; he's just there, not caring about anything - wife and son included. Jonathan tried talking to him once; his only response was 'hum'. According to Steve, his dad only talks to him when he wants to chastise his life choices, poor grades, or lack of a real, decent job.

Jonathan shook his head slightly, got out of his car, and walked to the front door, gently knocking on it. Jonathan swung his arms back and forth as he waited, feeling the chilly night breeze at the back of his neck. It was a rather cold night with light rain forecasted. He had an umbrella in the backseat of the car in case of emergencies.

A commotion was heard from the inside - the unmistakable voices of Mr. and Mrs. Harrington, probably asking each other to answer the door. It swung open a few seconds later, revealing Mrs. Harrington in a beautiful (and obviously expensive) black dress.

"Oh, Jonathan, it's you! Come in, honey." She gestured for him to come inside while adjusting her pearl necklace. "Steven mentioned you two would hang out tonight. He's in his room getting ready. You know the way!"

"Thank you, Mrs. Harrington. You look beautiful, by the way."

Mrs. Harrington smiled as she fixed her hair - she was definitely the one who passed Steve the good hair genes.

"Who was it?" Mr. Harrington's monotonous voice came from the living room.

"Just Jonathan!"

"Who?"

"Jonathan!" She yelled far too loudly. "Steve's friend! The one who's always with him!"

Friend, he mentally scoffed while climbing up the stairs to Steve's room - it was funny just how oblivious these two are, almost like they live in a different universe. According to Dustin, anyone who looked at Steve and Jonathan for more than 10 seconds knew they were dating.

Steve's door was closed, and Jonathan could hear him humming a song, probably from ABBA. He knocked on the door and opened it after hearing a faint "come in."

"Hey, Steve."

The boy in question, who was standing in front of his closet, looking for a jacket that matched the shirt he was wearing, swiftly turned his head around, like he was trying to hide something.

"Jon, hey! H-how are you?"

His hands were behind his back, definitely hiding something.

"What are you hiding?"

"Nothing."

Jonathan rolled his eyes.

"I'm not going to laugh if it's your Farrah Fawcett hairspray."

"I-it isn't..." He lowered his eyes and sighed. "It's my glasses."

He removed his hands from behind his back, revealing a pair of round, thin-framed glasses.

Steve was always embarrassed about wearing his glasses in public, remembering how Tommy H. always made fun of his fellow classmates who wore glasses, calling them 'four eyes' or other stupid names. So he always wears them when he's at home.

Jonathan looked at Steve's glasses for a few seconds and then looked back at him.

"That makes sense," was all he said, taking Steve aback. He thought his boyfriend was going to tease him or something. Like, why wouldn't he? Everyone made fun of people who wore glasses.

"Huh?"

"You're always squinting your eyes. I thought it was just a bad habit," he replied, shrugging, eyes turning to look at the glasses in Steve's hand. "Can... Can you put them on? Just for a second."

He nodded and put the glasses back on. As soon as he put them on, a fond smile appeared on Jonathan's face. That was new. Steve knew the glasses made his vision less blurry, but he didn't know that they also made smiles appear on his boyfriend's face.

"What?"

He asked, tilting his head to the right, curious as to why Jonathan was smiling - given that Jonathan Byers was not the type of guy who smiled all the time.

"Nothing. It's just... You look cute with glasses."

His cheeks immediately flushed red.

"R-really? You don't think I look stupid? Or like a nerd? Or..."

"No, I think you look perfect."

Jonathan still had that stupid smile on his face. God, that stupid and cute smile that Steve loved.

Without a second thought, Steve stepped forward and kissed him, taking Jonathan slightly by surprise. They never kissed when Steve's parents were nearby - or within a 2km radius, just in case.

"Steve... Y-your parents!"

"Relax, my dad never comes into my room, and you know my mom, you can hear her from miles away." He gave him a quick peck on the lips before turning his attention back to the closet. "Which jacket do you think is better, the gray or the black one?"

***

Steve went down the stairs (wearing his gray jacket), Jonathan right behind.

"Bye, mom, bye, dad, we're going out!"

"Bye-bye, sweetie... Oh, you're wearing your glasses!"

"Yeah, Jonathan said I should wear them more."

"Really?"

"I just told Steve he shouldn't strain his eyes, unless he wants to wear bigger glasses in the future."

"I've been telling him that for years!"

"Jonathan can be really persuasive, mom." He rubbed the back of his neck, not wanting this conversation to continue any longer. "Anyway, we're leaving. C'mon, Jonathan!"

He grabbed his (boy)friend's arm and quickly left the house.

Jonathan drove on the last date, so today it's Steve's turn. He opened the passenger seat's door for Jonathan, giving him a quick bow.

"Monsieur."

What a gentleman. Jonathan rolled his eyes while trying to contain a smile.

"So... Where are we going?"

He asked when Steve got in the car.

"There's this new restaurant that opened recently. I think you're gonna love it!" He started the car. "And if you don't like it... It was all Robin's idea."

"You ask Robin for date ideas?"

"No, she just gives them without me having to ask."

The date went perfectly. Jonathan loved the place Robin suggested, and after dinner, they drove aimlessly through town (something they both find relaxing), listening to music and holding hands - and occasionally kissing whenever they stopped at a red light and no one was there to see them.

***

The next day, Jonathan drove Will and Mike to Starcourt Mall - they wanted to buy some comic books and 'it was too hot to ride their bikes', a shitty way of saying 'we're too lazy to bike there'.

Well, since he was already there, Jonathan might as well stop by Scoops Ahoy and pay Steve a visit - and no, he did not think about it when Will and Mike asked for a ride to the mall.

The ice cream parlor wasn't as busy as he thought, given that today was quite warm. Steve was leaning over the counter, head down, reading a magazine.

"Hey, Steve." His head shot up as soon as he heard his boyfriend's voice. Aside from the wide smile, there was something else that caught Jonathan's attention. "You're wearing your glasses?"

"Yep!" He pushed his glasses gently with the index finger of his right hand. "Figured I should wear them more. Don't want my eyesight to worsen for not wearing them, y'know."

"Liar!" Robin yelled from the back room. "He's only wearing them because you said he looks cute with them."

Steve turned beet red while Jonathan just smiled and shook his head.

"Well..." Jonathan leaned closer. "You look cuter when you wear them with your uniform."

He got even redder - a little more and Steve will explode.

Robin rolled her eyes and made a mark on a board with "Steve x Jonathan" written on it.

Steve: 3 x Jonathan: 7.

New Year Reading for 2024! 🌟 - Aries

Preshuffle: There are some debt or financial issues in your world that probably already exist, because I’m getting you’ve been putting it off or not really doing anything about it, and that’s going to change this year. Money issues cannot be ignored anymore, it’s showing up as The Devil before you finally take the lead and decide to do something about it. For some, this could involve a child, custody, child support, legal fees, or combined resources with an ex. A very specific story, you could have a “joint” something that’s an ex’s problem, but they’re not paying it and you’re the one getting checks garnished or bill collectors sending threats, just as an example. Hopefully not.

Meditation: I guess with tumultuous stories I’m just going to see the same crazy plummet Tower or whatever that I’ve been seeing the last couple of months. Yours is a psychotic water ride with some real dangers, all aiming for the head, you had to duck & dodge, had to pay attention. Aries rules the head - and my Aries moon son hits his head once a WEEK 🤦‍♀️ so take that as a literal warning and be careful please. Y’all should come with helmets. This thing went down for ages, sharp turns, even upside down which how is that possible with water and does that mean something - idk. Water is emotions in tarot, could just be crazy emotions. By the time you finally get to the bottom, it ejects you violently into a tiny pool, and you climb out, soaking wet, and there are these two guys in suits next to it literally (condescendingly) “rating” your performance. As if it were a performance! You got an 8.2, if that means something, and once you realized you were being rated for this hell you just went though, you were pissed, and flicked a nickel really hard at the first guy’s forehead with a “fuck you” 😡

🔸 Whole of Your Energy: 8 Cups, Ace of Pentacles rev, 5 Wands, 5 Pentacles

Regarding: 3 Swords

Child support is a clear struggle for those having to pay it (or your ex just not paying it, could be either), you could be battling it out with an ex over money for some portion of the year. I’m also getting a child having issues, doesn’t even have to be your own, could be a step-child, niece/nephew, sibling, someone needs money or help that includes money in some way, and it could fall to you to help them. Even if you can’t do much, you’re still doing something. This can be a child’s activity or extracurricular that you’re needing to go 50/50 with an ex on and it’s not possible, one of you could be going broke trying to do everything alone in a two+ person venture. Or some outside person (a child?) causes some chaos or destruction and you’re stuck with a bill you can’t afford. I heard “medicine” for someone, could be for you or someone else. I do get this being something outside of yourself - like you didn’t ask for this, and if you did, you didn’t think it would be this freakin’ hard, or expensive.

A separate story, for those who are trying to have some creative sort of business venture or opening up a shop of some kind, you could find yourself spending a lot more than you’re getting. I see direct competition around you, could be the area you’re in - if a physical place - or the market could just be saturated with the same thing you’re trying to do. In either story, there are some things you’re needing to abandon because it’s just not working out, and I get that you really don’t want to, but you can’t afford it, aren’t approved, don’t get a loan, some necessary (expensive) repair prevents it, material prices skyrocket, etc. Many different possibilities, details, and reasons, but overall you’re needing to focus on your money this year - and the career portion flat out says don’t sign up for anything or add anything more than you’ve already got 💯 Some of you are needing to scrap an idea altogether once you realize the details involved, it may be a case of wishful thinking - likely a plan made last year, since that’s what’s needing to be left behind.

🔸 Character Card: The Musician 🎷

A very positive card, this person has already been through the struggle and hardship of life, and they’re playing their songs out loud in order to share their message and inspire others around them, while waiting for the ship that takes them into a new cycle with new problems, lessons, blessings, etc., everyone gathers around to hear The Musician’s song. For some, it can speak to them deeply, and you may be helping to inspire someone else, or being inspired.

🔸 Relationship: Queen of Cups & The Devil

Regarding: King of Cups rev

This feels more like your person’s issue than yours, but it’s going to cause a rift between you for some time. They’re either someone that likes to please themselves in a certain way, I’m not seeing shopping or money issues, but they indulge in things that keep them stuck for long periods of time. Could be watching the same tv shows over and over again, keeping their mind rooted in a specific time period of their life. Or you have the Musician card, it could be music. ✨Media✨ Something like that, something that makes them extremely emotional, because they show up as an empath possibly or someone whose emotions are heavily affected by what they do - and what they do isn’t always positive. At least some part of it. They may also take “self care” to an extreme, to the point it’s actually just selfish. Or that could be you, either/or. There is a routine of some kind, or even a part of their personality that is extremely emotional, immature even, like they can’t contain themselves or “get a grip”. It will be the biggest issue between you this year.

However, it’s followed with Ace of Swords & Flash, both indicating an “aha!” moment that wakes them up to this issue. Or you. You could be communicating this to them in a way they suddenly get it, or you could be introducing them to new things in a way of being romantic. Like not just “saying” the thing flat out, but moving differently to encourage change in different directions. For example, my husband and I like Sinatra a lot, say that’s a source of irritation for you & them for some reason. It reminds them of their ex and they get irritated, so you start playing something more…new & romantic. Creating new memories to “get stuck” on more or less, positive ones. With loving action, dates, spending time together, probably you instigating this, you’ll both overcome whatever issue you’re having 🧡 It’s like they need a hand to step outside of themselves and join you - in right now, today, and tomorrow, that direction, with love. This could be you too. Musician seems directly connected to your partner, and for the singles too, someone may literally be dating one, or are one.

Couples Oracles:

34 Stuck

You may be stuck because you are overly attached to a method or piece.

17 Flash

A creative flash of inspiration will come to you and quickly give you the perfect solution.

🔸 Singles: King of Wands & Ace of Cups

Regarding: Judgement

You’re getting a lot of attention this year, being positively magnetic for some of you 💋 people can’t seem to get enough of you, or you could have several people around you with a crush, flirting, willing to ask you out or say yes if you do. For some there is a very clear return of something - an ex - that’s only if you want them because I get they want you. You could separate and get back together in the same year, for some. Many of you are probably working on your appearance, cutting/dyeing your hair, getting tattoos, going to the gym, buying new clothes, whatever that is for you. You singles are focused on *glowing up* to bring in what you want. If it’s an ex, it’ll work. If it’s someone new, that’ll work too. I’m getting you could pretty much have whoever you want. Do I see long term, not really, but I see a new start no matter who it is you want to be with. If it’s an ex, it’s a brand new beginning, you’re both letting old shit go.

I pulled a card for any specific person Spirit wants to highlight and got The Storyteller. Could be a fire sign too, this King of Wands may be them for some, you for others. They could work with children or have a great relationship with them, they’re an entertaining personality. Kinda controlling. They like to call the shots and direct things, they have a way of speaking that captures the attention of many people, and they may do an amazing job of performing for “an audience”. Could be a literal musician, or someone with a following, and fans. It’s also possible that they travel a lot or don’t tend to stay in one place, there’s a nomadic vibe here, but I don’t get that being suspicious, more like it’s just part of them, or maybe their job. It’s also possible to start something you later have to leave due to travel or distance.

Singles Oracle:

04 - Recycle

Learn from the past and apply it to creating your vision of the future.

🔸 Career: Page of Pentacles rev & 2 Pentacles

Regarding: Knight of Cups

Probably this is where most of the contention at the beginning fits in. Whatever you have planned for up to this point will probably change, and you’re going to need to be flexible in how this works out for you. I see a lot of financial concerns in the beginning, and needing to abandon something being a real issue. For some of you, it’s possible your job decides to shut down a location and you can either move somewhere else to continue working for them, or you have to find something else entirely. They might not even be offering to help pay your moving expenses should you choose to continue with them and actually move, meaning if you have six months left on a lease, you’re on your own to pay that off. AND moving costs. Or if you have a child here, a battle with the other parent & custody could be what’s being mentioned.

With this, before anything, I’m getting to “read the fine print”, don’t just blindly agree to something and don’t sign anything until all sides have been carefully considered. Are they moving you to a more expensive area, but paying you the same? Is traveling or any movement in your career really worth what you’re giving out in return? Last year you were dead set on something, and now you’re being asked to not be quite so confident, make sure you check and double check everything you’re signing up for. You’ll be distracted, or it’s possible someone wants you to do something and they’re purposely distracting you, so you’re then stuck in a contract or something you didn’t sign up for - or weren’t aware of. Be very careful with that. You could be deciding to move for love too, if your person is at a distance from you, or they may be doing that for you, and your finances may change in this way. Whatever you’re leaving behind is a source of excitement and inner conflict - both, maybe even competition on some level. Ambitions could take you far, just be sure you aren’t being bamboozled or signing up for something you don’t actually want. You could also get stuck “being nice” for someone or taking on extra and don’t know what that actually entails until you’re stuck with it.

Career Oracle: Distractions

When you are trying to solve a problem, you will often be tested by distractions.

🔸 What needs to be left behind in 2023: 2 Swords rev & 8 Pentacles

Regarding: Page of Wands

Not a fan of this energy tbh. It’s like last year you were super confident about where things were going, you were motivated, inspired, and ready to take on new experiences or head in a new direction with your career. That’s very positive, and that’s what’s needing to be left behind, which is a pause for me…you *need* to be unsure, skeptical even, dotting every t and actually reading contracts or proposals sent to you this year. For work travel, The World can indicate the literal world, it may not be a few miles away, but sending jobs overseas or having you work with those where there’s a huge language barrier…may not be an issue, but you may not be totally aware of what you’re signing up for either. Additionally with this, is the trust in others to make decisions for you, especially regarding your career. You can’t assume everyone is working in your best interest, in fact I’m getting they could be purposely distracting you in order to lead you to believe something - and stick you with some bs. I do see really good potential, but it’s case-by-case, for some it’s great and the issue is settling a lease contract & moving costs. For others, there is a whole custody battle or combined assets shortchanging you somehow, tricky contracts and the like.

All three Mercury retrogrades move through the fire signs this year, and this reading may be highlighting those times specifically - astrologers warn of these things for everyone at that time - but especially you 💯 For the risings, the Pluto dance between 10th & 11th Houses definitely show more online activity or “world” involvement, and Jupiter moving from your 2nd to your 3rd opens up communication in a big way with foreign contacts, but a move would probably be closer to where you are already than actual long distance travel - unless the 3rd/11th house rulers are in the 9th. Some of you could get lucky with an online thing or creating a social media page of some kind, this is likely a boost to any online/social media creators.

Leave Behind Oracle:

77 Confidence

Know and feel this affirmation, beyond a doubt: “I AM all that I need to get what I want.”

7777 show anything stuck with your relationships will move forward with success.

Many ones and Aces show possible missed opportunities in (new) love and money due to distractions around you or in your way. That could cost you - especially money.

8888 shows leaving something behind, and this may possibly be an impulsive or very fast decision needing to be made - regarding your work. Some of you will intuitively know exactly what to do, others of you may have that choice made for you by someone else - probably regarding work. Or a custody thing, could be forcing you to pass up on a financial opportunity you’d otherwise consider.

🔸The White Hart pub, White Hart Court, Greenfield Street, London taken 1880s. In 1636 John Greene leased the property on the site of what was later to be the Stag Brewhouse and Brewery. He was succeeded in 1641 by his son, William - later Sir Greene - who built the brewhouse and took his cousin, John Greene into partnership in 1646. John Greene built another brewery at Kensington Gravel pits, London. The brewhouse expanded, the partnership owning over 16 acres by the end of the 18th century. The Watney family were the main partners in the Stag Brewery of Pimlico for much of the 19th century. In 1837 James Watney became a partner in the brewery with John Lettsom Elliot and Charles Lambert, as later did his sons James and Norman in 1856. The brewery was known as Elliot, Watney & Co from about 1849. John L. Elliot withdrew from the business in 1850 and for 8 years remained a partner in name only. He finally retired in 1858 and the firm became known as James Watney & Co. James Watney then kept the management almost entirely to himself until his death, at well over eighty years, in 1884. After his death in 1884 Watney & Co Ltd. became a private limited company in 1885. #victorianchaps #goodolddays #oldphoto #victorian #london🇬🇧 #pub #bar #nostalgia #vintage #streetlife #pastlives #portrait #history #1880s #retro https://www.instagram.com/p/CpdY5D7DJ34/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello and welcome to my another place I classify from wrestling FanArts block🙏🏻 This account is about my fiction universes/ OCs’ information/ inspiration and their brief stories.

📝 It’s very long but it’s better if you read them for more understanding/ the whys and wherefores about my fictions journey⬇️⬇️

🍔🌭I have 4 main fictions in different era but they can linked together🧇🥓

KAIENTAI DX story (Taka as story teller, sometime Seiji) (Period: current)

Faren’s story, the journey of generation2 (Faren, Seiji’s dad as story teller) (Period: 1980s- mid 1990s)

Luciano dimension’s story (prince Léo as story teller) (Period: current)

Prince Damond’s background story (Léo still be story teller) (Period: 1940s- nearly ending of WW II)

📝 Please note⚠️I won’t post full of my fiction because it’s VERY VERY long stories😂. But don’t worry, I’ll post their(OCs) information and little stories about them first or write as caption for understanding. My English vocabulary in my brain is limited, I can’t use descriptive writing in English. So, I conveyed the story as a narrative rather than write characters' conversations directly by translate from Thai language. Because each character has a different speaking style/ uses different levels of language. But I can write only one level of English, like an essay.

1. KAIENTAI DX story(since ~2010 to ???)

At first it’s about Taka, the main character. Yes, I mean Taka michinoku lol. Because Taka of WWF was my favorite wrestler when I was young ~10 years old, for me he’s so cool especially when he became 1st Light heavyweight champ. And at the same time I like KAIENTAI DX in Japan too (please note⚠️KAIENTAI DX in Japan, not jobber KAIENTAI at WWF⚠️, I won’t mention about that, I won’t put that side on my fiction). And because this fiction was wrote since I was very young, so most of their stories aren’t based on true story/ not based on real year/ most of their face have been changed a lot following my drawing skill in 10 years old. 🔸🔸🔸Plus☝🏻, my fiction decide to add some members to KAIENTAI as well, including Seiji, Faren’s son. So KAIENTAI DX members in my fiction are most in NJPW except Taka and Funaki whose back to Japan temporary after injured from WWE, most of story are in Japan

2. Faren’s story, the journey of generation 2 (since 2019-present)

“Faren’s story” is the fiction about WWF in 80s- mod90s backstage stories/ the wrestlers whose being dad and head of family but still do something like dumb kids. Messed with Canadian mafia/ help friends to make up with ex. Some stories based on true story(such as each wrestler’s characters or habit) and some stories were added on. So, if you have any suggestion or information, Whether it's about the character of each wrestlers / their story behind the scenes / Locker room life and fighting/ heroic deeds they’ve done or etc., please feel free to tell me, I’ll thanks a bunch📍

🔸Faren is my 2019oc, be SEIJI’s father and gen2 wrestler. The beginning of story is Faren, 60 years old WWF alumni wrestler returns to WWF again in nearly 30 years for Hall of fame inducting as his father's representative, his dad is ‘Ailani’, very famous Hawaiian wrestler whose passed away many years ago since Faren was just teenage

Backstage, SEIJI teases his dad by ask him why don’t he(Faren) inducted to HOF like his grandpa. Faren giggles and said “I’ve nothing special when I was here, just mid-carder, That time I’m just biker in wrestling career with stupid blonde top-knot hairstyle” . After that, Faren meets and greets his old friends in WWF such as Mike Rotunda, agent/ Raymond, French commentator/ Lanny poffo/ Shawn Michaels/ Harry Smith(Davey’s son)etc.

Backstage, old legends talk together happily about stories when they were young and wild . Faren's flashbacks to old days when he was WWF wrestler, short period of time in wrestling life if compared to other wrestlers but he still has good memories of his wrestling days there. Watch briefly Faren’s introduction here (link)

🎨🖌️I also have arts and his brief story. “That Kyōkatabira woman”(little comic) / mr.Hunter, the villain of Faren’s story(OC’s information)/ Adrian Adonis(1)/ real big brah, Tito Santana/ street fighting with SlamFam/ first met with Mike Rotundo(information)/ Mike singing(pic)/ Mike and Faren’s feud with mafia(information)/ the thuggiest thug(SlamFam information)/ Faren and Adrian(again)

3.Luciano dimension’s story (since 2014-2018 & 2021-present)

🔸The mysterious dimension that has many things supernatural, Many kinds of demons and many demon kingdoms are place in the Luciano dimension. The beginning is from “Krit Suphakrit”, Thai cocky/ greedy and big-mouth prophet whose wants to collect mystical souls and demons for use in making sacred objects to export to Cambodia . He uses some wrestlers(KAIENTAI members including Seiji, Faren’s son) as a means of catching up with the many type of spirit and demons in the Luciano dimension.

As he is a prophet who’s both expert and not expert for superstition at the same time, causing something chaotic and dangerous happen when the wrestlers he approach must be trapped in the Lusiano demension temporarily. The duty falls to the Luciano members who must keep the wrestlers safe from another demons and Krit, who try to harm them and stop him to hunt more spirit and demons in Lucia dimension. 🔸 “15 representatives of the Luciano dimension”are the unofficial group name of 15 persons(spirits) and demons whose be the leader of Luciano dimension, have high super power or has something special than another demons in the dimension.

4. Prince Damond’s background story🇫🇷

it’s about prince Damond one of Luciano member’s background story when he was alive in 1940s, he was just normal human, worked as magician and trapeze actor at Paris circus. Damond’s story has some vi0lent contens/ dark side of human’s mind. I will compare like, If that era has social media and easily to record some video, some situations gonna be on D@rk web *sorry for censoring, I'm not sure that Tumblr has a word detection system or not😑

Damond Harvey was 27 years old, has 2 brothers, Dior(24 y/o) and Darius(23 y/o). Darius married with American actress and move to America and don’t have much role in this story. 3 Harveys was adopted by mr.Henry, the owner of the Paris circus, because his biological father died when they were very young and his mother was a drunkard and physically abusive.

In each days, Damond and Dior will practice his shows with friends at Paris circus and then go to the market to help another merchants. And sometimes he and his friends must fight with enemies/ bullies from Levesque circus as well. Until one day, Harveys met Zelie(Zelina)/ Léo and Nastia(Anastasia) at flower shop, they’re prince and princess demon from Luciano dimension whose must temporary live in human dimension for months and must keep secret that they’re demons (Léo and Zelie are Lucia members, you can check their looks above at Luciano fiction). Dior is Nastia’s boyfriend and their love went well, Damond and Zelie seem get more closed but deep down Damond still scared to open-minded to has someone new, and Zelie often act stubborn(or Disagreement between heart and mouth).

Damond is depression after breaking up from his ex-girlfriend. She assaulted him and often send threatening letter to him even though she has new boyfriend already. Causing Damond doesn’t want to open-mind to another girls anymore especially Zelina who’s being model and having “femme fatale- look” just like his ex. It takes a long time for Damond to adjust understanding that Zelie is not likes his ex. And at the same time Zelina is worry about “human and demon love” between her and Damond whose don’t know that she& Léo & Anastasia are all demon from another dimension

Zelina and Léo love Damond. They want him to live together in Luciano dimension with peaceful life, with his lover, married and needn’t work dangerous career like trapeze actor. But the only way they can do is “making Damond died from human dimension first”, that is incorrect solve and sin . At the same time they must do what any decent citizen should do when seeing depression people. They must help and console Damond whose try to commit suicide after losing his little brother/ his friend and younger sister from bullies,… Leo and Zelie must choose between "what's they like" or "what's right,". And they choose what’s right, making Damond live as long as the god prescribed.

During Damond takes a break from working at Paris circus to heal his mental state from losing his younger brother and his sister’s r@ped, He t0rtured and mᵤᵣdered perpetrators . He wore a clown shirt to cover his body and lured gangsters into deserted places, and began to 𝕥o𝕣𝕥u𝕣𝕖 them one by one, and using different methods. Before those thugs 𝓭ie Damond will cut their🍆and throw it away. And when he succeeds in his plan, He would sew a doll to give to his sister at the psychiatric hospital. Arno (Child psychiatrist and later he’s one of Luciano member also) and Matty's older sister, a lawyer and youth legal adviser, were suspicious of Damond's behavior, that sometimes he requesting postponement of mental health examinations (depression). Damond looked very normal, not sad, talkative, as if nothing had ever happened.

[agena87]

Since I had to age up Estela to YA for my gameplay-turned-legacy, it's only fair that I did the same for her siblings (well, YA for everyone except Santiago who's still a teen, though not for long). I also gave them partners/families.

(pics + lore under the cut because it's loooong)

Theo (aka my resident fuck boy), his wife Perla, their kids Averie & Ethan, and two of Theo's lovers (Jerrica & Joaquin):

🔸Theo & Perla met in college. Perla dumped her then-boyfriend, Stan, for Theo, despite not really being attracted to him, as soon as she learned that he was not only a Villareal but also a Landgraab. Money money money! 🔸Perla's quite happy with being a trophy wife and couldn't care less who her husband is banging as long as no one else (as in: the press) knows. Plus, she doesn't need to work. 🔸Perla's not a real redhead; she dyes her hair 'cause Theo asked her to (this man has problems that are better not expressed). 🔸Neither of them wanted children but, as CEO of Villareal Industries, Theo needed an heir. Averie was planned as such; Ethan was an accident and they spent quite some time deciding if they should keep him or not. 🔸Needless to say both kids are mostly looked after by nannies & tutors. 🔸Contrary to Joaquin whom he has an actual relationship with, Jerrica is just an occasional lover. Theo only gets with her when he needs to scratch a certain itch; aka fucking someone who would let him do every perverted thing that crosses his mind to them in exchange for some money or dope (as said before: he has some major problems).

Pablo and his boyfriend, Anil:

🔸Anil's a bit older than Pablo (7/8 years older). 🔸They met when Pablo signed up for the yoga class that Anil was teaching. Pablo fell head over heels immediately; Anil needed more time, as he was finding Pablo's permanent cheerfulness annoying. 🔸Anil's only teaching yoga on the weekend (and only for a few hours, too), the rest of the week he's a pharmaceutical salesman. Pablo is working in PR for Villareal Industries. 🔸They've been together for seven years and only started living together a couple months ago. Anil's trying to get accustomed to the chaos that his boyfriend brought with him, but as a (very) neat person, it's quite difficult to ignore the piles of "stuff" appearing everywhere in his (their) apartment. 🔸Pablo would love to get wed but Anil doesn't believe in marriage. Anil might be OK with a civil union, though.

Amalia and her not-really-a-girlfriend/groupie, Cheyenne:

🔸Amalia learned to drive a bike with her aunt Willa when she was thirteen (don't tell on them; officially Amalia was sixteen the first time she drove anything). She's been in love with motorcycles since then. Now, she's racing all over the world in the semi-professional circuit. 🔸Cheyenne's dad took her to her first race when she was three; each weekend they would spend a few hours at the tracks, supporting the racers with very vocal encouragement. 🔸Despite her love for the race, Cheyenne never got on a bike that wasn't parked; she's terrified of falling. 🔸While Amalia manages to make a little money with her racing winnings, it's not enough to pay the bills (not that she has to worry about it, she is after all a Villareal/Landgraab, and has enough money to last half a dozen lifetimes). She works as a PI (fun fact: she, more than once, had to tell clients that yes, their spouse was cheating and that it was with her older brother). 🔸Cheyenne, herself, works as a barmaid in her father's bar.

Elvira, her husband Josiah, and their son Trevor:

🔸Elvira didn't just inherit her height, big boobies and love for lingerie from her mother, but also her preference for much older men; Josiah is 16 years older than her (still a lot less than the 37 years between Jacques & Mallory). 🔸Josiah was Elvira's uni teacher, but they didn't start to date until a couple years after she got her degree. They had become friends during Elvira's college years and had stayed in contact after she finished her studies. 🔸While she has a distinguished degree in History, Elvira chose to not get a job, preferring to spend her time volunteering with various charities or organizing galas to get funds for said charities (she also gives a lot of her money to those, not just her time). 🔸Both Elvira and Josiah would love to have another child, but they have difficulties conceiving; Elvira lost four babies before Trevor was born, and three more since. They're talking about adopting.

Santiago and his girlfriend Lexi:

🔸He's the quarterback, she's the head cheerleader. He's the jock who cares only about sports, she's the mean girl who loves nothing more than shopping and bullying less popular kids. Yes, they're the cliché couple but who cares? 🔸Actually, Lexi's not dating Santiago because he's the star player of the football team, but for his name and money. She's already planning their wedding (her mom's helping too); which obviously he doesn't know or he'll freak out (they're only eighteen after all; not that being this young stopped his half-sister Max from getting married to her husband Lukas). 🔸She's cheating on him regularly with his brother (yes, Theo; and while he's a leech for going after his little brother's gf, at least she's legal); what can she say? The man gives her very expensive gifts; she doesn't care if the sex is lousy or if she doesn't get to come. 🔸They've been dating for two years and have yet to have sex. Well, they did touch each other and Lexi gave Santiago a few BJs, but they're waiting for Prom night to do the do and lost their virginity (or alleged one in Lexi's case). Miss Cheatress better not get preggo with Theo's kid before then or the jig will be up. 🔸Speaking of Prom, they obviously will be voted King and Queen.

🔶🔸Ma'moun said to Imam Rida, peace be upon him: Tell me about the greatest virtue of Amirul Mu'minin, peace be upon him, that's mentioned in the Quran. Imam Rida said: There's his virtue in Mubahala Event; Allah Almighty said: {If any one disputes in this matter with you, now after knowledge has come upon you, say: "Come! Let us gather together, our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves: Then let us earnestly pray, and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie!"}. Therefore, the Messenger of Allah called Hassan and Hussein, who were his 'sons'; he called Fatima, who was in this case his ‘women’ and he called Amirul Mu'minin who was his 'Self', according to the statement of Allah Almighty. It's confirmed that no creation of Allah is more glorious and greater than the Messenger of Allah, thus it's obligatory that there's no one greater than the Self of the Messenger of Allah, according to the statement of Allah. Ma'moun said: Didn’t Allah mention ‘sons’ in the plural form, but the Messenger of Allah only called his two sons and He also mentioned ‘women’ in the plural form but the Messenger of Allah only called his daughter? Why isn’t it possible that He mentioned calling his Self, actually meaning his Self and not anyone else? Thus, Amirul Mu'minin won't have that virtue you've mentioned. Imam said: What you said isn't true. That's because when you call you're calling for someone else and if you order, you're ordering someone else. Hence, it can't be actually true that a person calls his own Self as he can't actually order his own Self. Therefore, the Messenger of Allah didn’t call any man in Mubahala Event but Amirul Mu'minin. Thus, the Messenger of Allah confirmed that he (Amirul Mu'minin) is his Self that Allah Almighty mentioned in His Book which was His statement that He has revealed. Ma'moun then said: "When the answer is given, the question is dropped”.

SAM OSA MY BOY SAM OSA 🚗💯👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🍛🔸!!!!!!🎂!!!!!!

HEHEHEHEHE THANK YOU FOR ASKING I AM SO EXCTIED THIS MADE MY NIGHT

🚗 CAR — does your oc have a driver's license? can they drive/operate any automobiles/machinery besides cars?

Sam does have a driver's license! His wife Calamari had to teach him to drive because nobody ever taught him lahds;lgkhasdg he has a huge family, so they just have a big family van. He doesn't drive anything other than that tho!

💯 HUNDRED POINTS SYMBOL — share three random facts about your oc that others may not know.

Hmmmmm. 1. Sam manages Off The Hook, that's like, his full time job. I think most people that are my friends know that but it's just an interesting fact for anyone reading!! 2. Despite the previous fact, Sam's favorite muscial genre is classical! He LOVES classical music! This man goes to classical concerts for fun. 3. His full name is Samuel L. Osa but if you put Sam osa together it's literally....Samosa. obviously. i made his whole family at first entirely based off of food.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 FAMILY WITH MOTHER, FATHER, SON AND DAUGHTER — how many people are in your oc's immediate family? how many people are in your oc's extended family? do they have aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc? who in their family are they closest with? are they close with their birth family, or do they have a found family?

Oh boy this is a loaded one. Sam's immediate birth family is John, Mimi, his and his siblings Olive, Brie and Vin. His parents were not good parents at all, and he left with his siblings from a pretty young age. He doesn't know his extended family on either mom or dad's side, but he considers his spouses' families as his own! His wife Calamari's family (Ban and Nan, Emperor, Prince, and Pearl) is pretty much his own. He also is married to a guy named Rino, and of course Marie (yes that marie) so Callie is pretty close to. He really is just happy and closest to his family. His spouses, his children, his siblings.

🍛 CURRY AND RICE — what does your oc's typical dinner look like? do they usually eat dinner?

Sam is REALLY scattered about eating. He didn't really always have food growing up, and so like....he is just as scattered as an adult about eating as he was when he was young. When he's at home, he tries to be home in time for dinner for whatever his husband cooked for dinner, but sometimes he works so late with Pearl and Marina that he has to grab something on the way home, if he eats at all. When he's on tour with Pearl and Marina Pearl always wants to eat at weird places, fancy places so he ends up going with them. I love this question

🔶 LARGE ORANGE DIAMOND — does your oc know cpr? do they have any other medical expertise?

Sam actually does know CPR! His wife Calamari has heart problems, and later on so does one of his sons so he's always ready. He doesn't have any other real medical expertise though :(

🎂 BIRTHDAY CAKE — when is your oc's birthday? how old are they? what are their sun, moon, & rising signs (if known)? what about their tarot card, ruling planet, & ruling number (if known)? do they fit the typical traits of these sun, moon, & rising signs?

I don't know anything about the fancy stuff -- BUT. I do know his birthday is August 23rd :D

✦ — SEND🍦TO LEARN ONE WAY TO COMPLETELY MELT MY MUSE

ASK HIM ABOUT XIAO.

It goes unnoticed the first few times ( the more formal are the questions, the easier it is for Zhongli to mask it ). But, eventually, one should be able to grasp the fondness that Zhongli can't help speaking with when it comes to Xiao.

—his eyes are warmer. his tone is softer, some assume it's because to make it up for the harshness the yaksha is known for. his concern is evident, when and if trusting another individual the task to deliver Xiao's unique medicine on his behalf.

❝ (chuckles)... Yes... The young adeptus holds a special place in my thoughts. It happens the same to the rest of Liyue population, I trust.

» And if that's not the case, well..., it should be. ❞

Although he's not open to share why —or where does this ( deep ) affection come from, one should see the spark on his eyes when offered the chance to talk about his son.

Xiao's memory deserves to be preserved and he knows he won't be able to hold it forever. He's afraid erosion will take it away. Thus, finding someone who he can share them with, really, does melt his worries away.

🔸Meet Adi the Megalosaurus🔸  As development continues, we’d love to share more about the world of Amber Isle. Beginning with these Paleofolk sheets- basically everything you need to know about our characters, all in one little package! ✨ (Might want to fullscreen the image for readability OR find the text version under ‘keep reading’ ! ) Of course we’ll start with Adi, our soft orange son 🧡🦖

Adi is the Mayor’s new assistant, with the term ‘assistant’ being used quite loosely, as it seems that he does most of the hard work. He‘s always on his feet, darting from task to task, and yet always makes enough time to stop and greet everyone along the way. He’s eager to prove himself and impress the Mayor, at any cost.  Adi grew up alongside his 24 siblings, of which he was the most small and shy. If he struggled to make his voice heard, which he often did, Adi would turn to scrapbooking and writing. He discovered it would help him clear his head and make sense of the world around him. He began a habit of scrapbooking something every day, even if it was just a receipt for lunch or a leaf he’d found.  Now, Adi is know for his excellent organisation skills, speedy thinking and warm personality, and is doing his best to keep everything in check on Amber Isle. Regardless, as the village grows it becomes increasingly noticeable how often Adi is scatterbrained, exhausted and even falling asleep on his feet...

📌 *Approximately 100,000 Muslims were martyred.*

📌 *60,000 women and girls were raped.*

📌 *One and a half million people were abandoned.*

*Do we remember it* ❓

*Or have we forgotten it* ❓

*Or are we totally ignorant about it* ❓

🖌Christiana Amanpour of CNN spoke about the memory of the Bosnian massacres, and asks:

Does history repeat itself?

✏She comments on the memory of Bosnia:

It was a Medieval war of killing, blockade and starvation of Muslims, and *Europe refused to intervene saying that it was a civil war*. . . That was myth.

⛓The Holocaust lasted for about 4 years, during which the Serbs demolished more than 800 mosques, some of which were built in the 16th century.

They burned the Sarajevo Historical Library.

🖊The United Nations interfered and placed two gates at the entrances of Muslim's cities such as Goraga, Srebrenica, Zepa.

But they were under siege and fire and their protection did nothing.

🔗The Serbs put thousands of Muslims in detention camps, tortured them, and starved them, until they became skeletons!

📍When a Serb commander was asked: Why? He said,

"Because they don't eat pork!

✏ The Guardian published" The days of the Bosnian Massacres", a full-page map showing the locations of the rape camps of Muslim women,

17 huge camps, some within Serbia itself.

🔸The Serbs raped children. A 4-year-old girl, blood running between her legs.

The Guardian published a report on it entitled:

The child whose guilt is being a Muslim.

📌Butcher Mladic invited the Leader of the Muslims in Zepa to a meeting. He gave him a cigarette, laughed with him a little, then swooped on him and slaughtered him.

🔶The most famous crime was the siege of Srebrenica, the international soldiers (crusaders) were together with the Serbs, dancing, and some bargained for Muslim woman regarding their chastity, in exchange for a bite of food.

📌The Serbs had besieged Srebrenica for two years during which the shelling didn't stop for a moment.

The Serbs were also taking a large part of the aid meant to go to the Muslim towns.

🔗Then the West decided to hand it over to the wolves. The Dutch battalion protecting Srebrenica conspired with the Serbs. They pressed Muslims to surrender their weapons in exchange for safety.

The Muslims bowed after being tortured and punished.

🔹After having given *False Guarantees,* the Serbs swooped on Srebrenica.

They isolated the males from their females,

They gathered 12,000 males (Boys and men) and massacred them in different forms:

One Serb stood on a Muslim man, and he dug on his face the image of the Orthodox Cross....

(From a Newsweek or Time magazine report).

🖍As for the women, they were assaulted regarding their honor and some of them were burned ... others were left in the open heat to die slowly.

💢The slaughter continued for days in Srebrenica. Its fall was in late July 1995

📌 A mother was holding the hand of a Serbian man saying .. "Please do not slaughter my son", so he cut her hand and then placed his cut off head in front of her eyes!

🩸The massacre was taking place while the rest of the World could see, hear, eat, have fun and play ..

📌After the slaughter of Srebrenica ... Butcher Radovan Karagic entered the city, and openly declared: "Srebrenica was always Serbian and has now returned to the hands of the Serbs terrorists."

💢The Serbs were raping the Muslim women, and they were holding them for 9 months until they gave birth.

Why?

A Serbian told a Western newspaper "We want Muslim women to give birth to Serb babies"

✏We remember Bosnia, Sarajevo, Banja Luka and Srebrenica.

✏We will mention it and bring it back

✏We will not forget the Balkans.

✏We will never forget Granada.

✏We will not forget Palestine.

🖌On the memory of 20 years since the crime of Europe and Serbia in Bosnia we say:

📌We will not forget,

📌we will not forgive,

📌We will never believe in

Slogans of Tolerance, Coexistence and Human rights.

📝Here we must record with ink of shame ... the positions of the Orthodox Boutros Boutros-Ghali, who was at that time the Secretary Generak of the United Nations,

He sided blatantly with his Serb brothers.

🖌But unfortunately, after 20 years, we did not learn any lesson.

🖍 The Serbs were singling out

Religious Scholars, Masjid Imams, Intellectuals and Businessmen for killing. They tied them, then slaughtered them, and threw them in the river!

📌When the Serbs entered a town, they started with demolishing its Masjids.

One of the Muslims says:

"If the Serbs demolished the town's Masjid , we would have nothing to do but flee from it, the Masjids represented everything!

🖌 A British newspaper described the genocide of Muslims in Bosnia in this phrase: War of the twentieth century waged in the style of the middle centuries!
