HEY! YOU!

You've probably heard by now, but from March 4th to 10th 2024, Help Gaza Children will be sending all their donations to families in northern Gaza, where food prices have skyrocketed even more than in the south. Their goal is $25K by the end of the week; at the time of writing this post, it's about halfway a quarter way there! (OG post about it) [EDIT: my mistake, I misinterpreted the numbers in the original post; evidently I cannot do arithmetic anymore]

This is their notion site, which has their donation link as well as additional info, their FAQ, important updates, and proof of purchases from donations they’ve gotten in the past. You can also donate directly to their paypal here.

As such, I'll be open for sketch commissions up from now (March 7th, 2024 ~02:20 PST) through March 10th in exchange for proof of donation to Help Gaza Children!

BASIC OVERVIEW:

Tier 1 - Basic head/bust sketch for $1-5 USD, +50% for basic color. Up to 3 characters.

Tier 2 - Basic screencap resketch for $5-15 USD, +50% for basic color.

Tier 3 - Posed sketch for $15-25 USD, 1-2 characters ONLY.

Tier 4 - Colored clean sketch: $25+ USD, 1-2 characters ONLY.

RULES:

Please provide a visual reference or detailed description of the character(s) you want drawn (and depending on the tier, a screencap or pose/expression you want to go with it)

DO'S: OCs, humans and human-like creatures, other creatures that don't have a lot of mechanical or anatomical detail (as in, I can TRY to do mecha stuff, but I think you and I will both be better of if I don't lol; can ask for further details)

DON'T'S: any NSFW stuff, real people currently alive (as in, historical figures in the setting of historical fiction may be okay, but other things may not be; can ask for further details)

If you've made your donation in a currency that is not USD, I'll give you something of equivalent value according to the tier based on whatever the conversion is at the time that I look it up. If one or both of our economies crashes spectacularly in between the time you send it and the time I look it up, I'm very sorry in advance

DISCLAIMER 1: I reserve the right to decline a commission for any reason; however, if this ends up being the case, I may reach out to you to see if we can come up with a middle ground that suits us both.

DISCLAIMER 2: I don't anticipate being able to do a lot of these, as I've got a full-time job that's in the ballpark ~80+ hours a week with really weird hours. That being said, depending on how far this goes, turnaround time will probably be ~2-3 months, give or take...something. I'll update you monthly until it's done.

FOR PERSONAL, NON-COMMERCIAL USE ONLY!

If you're interested in nabbing a sketch from me in exchange for your donation, email a screenshot (devoid of any personal info please) of your donation receipt and details of your sketch request (e.g. reference, tier, etc.) to gottagobuycheese@gmail.com. For your donation to count for a sketch, it must be made after I wrote this post! (March 7, 2024 ~02:20 A.M. PST)

If you are NOT interested in nabbing a sketch from me, feel free to donate anyway!!

(And if you've got any questions about anything feel free to email, DM, or send an ask!)

THE CURRENT/FUTURE STATE OF RIIZE

based on astrology/tarot

Authors Note: In this reading I will be reading and making prediction about the current/future state of Riize as well as mentioning seunghan and his situation in this reading in order to give insight to those who requested it, in the astrological area of the reading I will be using whole sign.

Let's get the elephant out of the room and discuss Seunghan. There are a couple of transits that firmly show this situation regarding him. Mars associated with conflict, harm, fighting, arguments and in hellenistic astrology separation is transiting Riize's 6th house which is associated with coworkers and the work environment. This transit within itself eludes to Seunghan's severance and departure of the group and the possible conflicts and damage control regarding it. Mars is also sextile Uranus which shows the sudden and quick impact and deciding factors of this. Mercury aspecting Saturn can be associated with difficult news and decisions and currently these planets are transiting their 10th house of career and reputation as well as the 2nd house of income..there's definitely money and company semantics as well as an attempt to preserve something involved with the situation.

GROUP TRANSITS/PREDICTIONS:

Mercury transiting the 10th house in scorpio, there could be a lot of talk about the group in itself within the next month as well as people trying to “investigate” what the company could possibly be doing behind the scenes due to a lack of explanation and communication, tabloids + rumors + exposed info could be prevalent

Saturn will be direct and leave their 2nd house of income finances soon and transit through their 3rd house of communication, immediate environment, familiar spaces, minor travel and friends. The members might not travel as much as they previously did or their travels may be limited to certain areas as well. There might be a change in the groups social media presence/activity

Pluto is currently direct and will be transiting into their 1st house of identity, self and how they project their image soon. the group might do a complete change in aesthetics, look and style or deconstruct and rebuild their gimmick/concept and it might cause a ripple effect

Jupiter is currently retrograde in their 5th house of creations/creativity, artistic pursuits, fun, entertainment and is aspecting Saturn. the group might have to rethink or redo the creative direction they’ll take and their events or comebacks might take longer or are delayed. they also may gain attention and have to base their creations on what is bringing them the most attention

Jupiter will also soon transit their 6th house of work environment, coworkers, responsibilities, service/servitude, health and routine in 2025. We may hear about them getting new staff or workers, they may be in better working conditions/schedules, they could be very booked and busy and have a lot to do or take care of, their overall group health will be favorable but there might be some minor injuries

Mars will soon transit their 7th house and retrograde back into their 6th so there might be changes in contracts (for example cutting off a contract w/ a certain brand) or changes in power within them, as well as maybe cutting ties w/ certain staff and employees

GROUP ENERGY READING

Do I have consent for this reading: Ace Of Cups & The Moon; Yes ! but I must keep the members anonymous.

MEMBER A:

( The Emperor, KoS, 7oW, 4oS, The Hanged Man, AoS Rx, Death, and 4oP)

Stoicism stoicism stoicism. This member just wants to hold things together until all this chaos passes. They feel as though there’s no point in trying to control what they can’t and that they should only control what they can which is their self and their feelings. I’m hearing “I know that things won’t be the same”. He really just wants to keep his mental in check and surrender to the changes around him. However it’s not giving a “defeated energy”; this member refuses to let his mental health drown too bad and even if he can’t be the happiest atm he knows he shouldn’t let himself wear himself out with the possible stress and upset

MEMBER B:

( Justice Rx, 2oP Rx, 5oC, Judgement Rx, 4oC, 7oS, 10oC Rx, 9oC Rx, AoC Rx, 2oS)

He feels blindsighted and deceived and as if things genuinely didn’t go as planned. He might have been convinced by someone or convinced himself that things would be smooth sailing for the rest of the year and that the past issues and problems wouldn’t be something to deal with anymore. There’s a big contemplation and thinking about the “unfairness” of everything. He feels like everyone involved and being impacted has been done wrong and there wasn’t unfiltered honesty about everything. I’m hearing the phrase “stand up” he wants there to be accountability taken by someone specific..rather than a team of people ? A staff or manager maybe ? I pulled another card and the King of Pentacles came out so ???

MEMBER C :

( 8oC, 8oW, 9oS, Wheel of Fortune, The High Priestess, 4oC, The Hermit, 2oW/ Channeled Song: She Knows - Jcole)

This person feels like they saw this chaos coming. It’s as if this was a “worst case scenario/nightmare” idea that they’d always come back to in the back of their mind that’s finally came to fruition. Similar to Member A they mainly want to keep themselves level headed and let things play out whether if it’s for better or worse. He’s in a very observant energy. He may have a “deeper”understanding of the situation than the others so he might seem like he’s “ok” and “moving forward” when really he’s extremely in his head..as if he’s on the “outside looking in”, he’s detached himself almost so he won’t get stuck “like he did before” im hearing

MEMBER D:

(5oS, 8oS, 2oC Rx, The Empress Rx, QoC Rx, 10oS, The Lovers Rx, 5oP/ Channeled song: Afraid - The Neighborhood)

They feel on edge and uncomfortable right now. It’s like they’re anticipating on what’s gonna happen next and how it’s going to happen. I’m hearing the channeled song and the phrase “im so over it”. The best thing I can compare this energy to is when you have a terrible day at school/work but when you get home there’s more things to deal with, or when you’re constantly arguing or bumping heads with someone and don’t care anymore. There’s also a negative critical feminine energy that this member feels turned their back on him or this female energy keeps doing things that goes against his wants/wishes. There isn’t a romantic tie to this feminine energy tho..but the member is making it seem that’s it’s obvious who it is but I don’t really know and they won’t elaborate so I’ll just close off here.

MEMBER E:

(The Sun, The Chariot, 8oP, 10oW, The Devil, 2oP, KnoC)

This member is giving me the least info and im hearing “you already know the deal” so I guess the assumptions I have towards how he feels atm is good enough. This member feels overwhelmed and definitely is trying to manage and keep himself emotionally and mentally above water . But, it’s as though he’s bound by a responsibility..he’s being the most optimistic as he can be and just wants to move forward. It’s like he’s trying to keep himself happy and busy while also dealing with the motions of everything. He may also be putting his feelings aside for how and is more busy comforting everyone around him who’s feeling more upset and frustrated.

MEMBER F:

(The Moon, The Star Rx, 6oW Rx, 7oP, 6oP, Strength Rx, 7oC, AoP)

This member feels pretty unstable and similar to Member B they feel disillusioned. They hate how up and down everything has been. They’re very disappointed on how things are turning out because they were just so much more optimistic about everything after a long period of being unsure just to be unsure and feeling a lack of security again. They’re very aware or mostly thinking about the financial aspect of things too and are feeling a lack of security there as well. Just a very disappointed and melancholic energy..similar to when you get bad news you don’t have any say over. They’re trying not to be pessimistic but they can’t help it

MEMBER G:

( The Fool Rx, 3oS, 5oW, 3oP Rx, 3oC Rx, 9oW, Justice, 8oW, 6oC, 10oP Channeled Song: Are We Still Friends- Tyler the Creator & Sorry Not Sorry - Tyler the Creator)

Member G lowkey wants to go home or wants to go somewhere or be in a place mentally where they can feel more relaxed again. Im hearing the phrase “things were much more simpler”. They might also be in disagreement with a lot of people or people might have a lot of misconceptions about everything and he doesn’t like the fact that people are getting the wrong idea about how everything is. He might also feel a bit disconnected from everyone and that includes coworkers and people in his inner circle. For the channeled songs it’s making me feel as if this member feels almost guilty and so apologetic but not apologetic at the same time ? like he knows he doesn’t need to feel all this pressure and guilt but does

in this instance the dev team have been somewhat open, and what is speculation is based on what other dev teams, and some personal friends, from similar scoped projects have said on their experiences trying to keep an app from failing.

Theyve spent years working an extremely tight ship to keep costs down, but even then the original 'no cost to download and use, no ads, one time payment for what you want to buy on top of the large array of free assets' monetization structure wasn't compatible with the reality of the situation.

Keeping the apps on the relevant stores with updates to keep them stable and secure, updates to add new content, staff salaries and content moderators, and keeping the server everything is stored on running. that all costs money. and people weren't buying the paid assets. and the people who were weren't large in number enough to cover everyone else's rent.

Either the price of assets would have had to sky rocket out of the realm of what you could reasonably expect someone to pay for a low poly 3d model on a phone app (10-15X the current cost is what I think was being thrown around in the discord back when they were switching iOS to the new model, idk how true that is but it feels about right), or they would need to start running ads so frequently the app would be barely usable, or they could offer an optional subscription for advanced features that mostly weren't already part of the app and loop the paid assets into that.

bc like. most of the base app that exists now will still be free to use. the old free assets will still be free and available to everyone. everything bought before the switch stays on your account and there are rewards for having bought those assets far enough before the switch, namely the pro tier free for life. the dev team has bent over backwards to keep things as far out from behind a pay wall they can while still you know, being able to afford their own rent.

i personally will not be comfortable making the call on whether or not I'll be paying for a subscription until the full android release is here and i can dick around in it. There's a trial period id definitely like to give a shot before i pass any actual judgement on the matter. and fortunately, I've already bought basically every asset I'd ever consider using from them in the three or so years I've been using the app and probably qualify for the free pro upgrade a few times over. the operation and content of this blog most likely will not change, it just might not be as high of quality as it could be if i paid the subscription.

addendum I'm too sleep deprived to edit into he post properly: when i was double checking some of the info given here i was reminded there's actually two paid tiers above the free one. the pro tier which is a one time 10$ payment, and the master tier which is the 15$ monthly. paying for the master tier once gives you the pro tier free forever even if you cancel your sub

The dreaded monthly subscription model is coming to the app on Android soon. it's just entered beta. If youve been considering getting into using magic poser now might be a good time to go ahead and download it. All assets bought before the switch to the new subscription model will remain on your account/device after it.

if you live in aotearoa NZ, or otherwise have some knowledge around what's currently happening here with the treaty principled bill, please consider making a submission opposing the treaty principles bill.

if you don't know, this is what the treaty principles bill will look like. the waitangi tribunal report is a good place to start as to what the bill would actually mean for aotearoa, and they have summaries so you don't have to read the whole thing to get the basics. here is the first summary, and the second.

submissions don't have to be long or fancy, even if all you can do is a short submission stating that you oppose this bill that's still helpful! the only thing is it can't be directly copy-pasted from someone else or it won't be counted. however there are some very helpful guides to help you make a submission:

from ngā haumi: guide/template - google doc

from koekoeā: explanation of process, what you need to know, and FAQs - PDF ; info on oral submissions - PDF, explanation of the origins and function of the treaty principles - instagram post

from te pāti māori: FAQs about submitting on this bill - instagram post

from the green party: general info - instagram post ; short guide based on how long you wanna spend on your submission - instagram post ; longer guide - website

from people against prisons aotearoa: generic guide to making select committee submissions (this is not a specific guide for this bill, however if you've never made a submission like this before it will likely give some helpful explanations!) - website

listening to speeches made by te pāti māori and green MPs on this bill may also be a helpful way to get ideas of what you may want to say! they often post speeches on their instagram accounts, and specifically i think this speech from chlöe swarbrick and this one from rawiri waitiri are really good.

submissions close on the 7th of january next year, so as of now (20th november) you have about seven weeks, however it's important to not forget, so i'd encourage people to do it now or set reminders! let's make sure the government knows that the opposition to this bill is strong!!

DW constantly treats Megamind as an afterthought and gave the team a very small budget to work with on the show. They put their hearts into it and made something very fun and cute! Let's show our gratitude by giving back all the support we can.

The Animators Union may be protesting for better wages this summer (as is their right!) so by watching their work, we can give back to them!

Please don't allow Megamind Rules to become lost media. Please help us to keep something beautiful in this world.

If you're fan and want to join a cool and fun loving group, feel free to hop in and say Ollo!!

summary: "'Dan Heng knew the dark well. Dan Heng did not like the dark. And so Dan Heng screamed out into the void for someone to save him.' Dan Heng's thirst for knowledge (and duty as the Archivist of the Astral Express) gets him into tough situations that even he can't pull himself out of. However, they will always be a shooting star nearby."

tags: Dan Heng/Boothill, Dan Heng/Trailblazer, March 7th/Stelle | Angst, Angst with a Happy Ending, Inspired By Poetry, Pre-Relationship, I Wrote This Instead Of Sleeping

warnings: none

author's note: "i churned this out at 1am all of a sudden after three separate drafts. what the f--- inspired by a poem (did you know literature is my worst subject)"

Dan Heng was not unfamiliar with the dark. However, he wished that that wasn't the case.

Years, decades, maybe even a century—his time spent in the Shackling Prison had not been kind to him even in the simplest of things like keeping time—spent in captivity, even before he emerged from his egg, had made the former High Elder harshly familiar with the darkness and the horrors it brought. Perhaps only because of the pain he’d suffered at the beginning of his life could he now stay calm in his current situation.

He dragged himself off of the stone brick ground, moss covering the Eras-weathered pathway, with Cloud Piercer rammed into the ground and acted as his pillar. His memories were muddled as he desperately tried to remember how he’d gotten in such a position—why unconscious (dead? Unsure, it was dark) bodies were scattered behind him, why no one from the Express was with him, why—

A flash of bioluminescent sea green had him whipping his head around. Bright blue-green serpentine eyes, dozens of pairs of them, crawled out of the abyss and lit up as they approached him.

They did not look friendly. They were not friendly, Dan Heng remembered that much. It was one against an army, and well—

The Imbibitor Lunae was infamously known for not going down without a fight.

As Archivist of the Astral Express, it was Dan Heng’s duty to make sure that any and all info in the Data Bank was as up-to-date as possible. With some worlds like Jarlio-VI, that simply wasn’t possible—the Space Anchors may have been deactivated due to unuse, or never existed in the first place. But if Dan Heng could fact-check it himself, he would.

It was on one of these solo expeditions—to a low-end yet vibrant planet named Alladonia, an entry just needing some brushing up on—when Dan Heng heard something that caught his interest.

Four men were planning an expedition to a nearby set of ruins—only revealed to them through a cryptic message delivered by an even more cryptic member of the Garden of Recollection—and were talking about hiring a Pathstrider to guard them. Apparently only one of them was a Pathstrider and a Pathstrider of Harmony in your group wasn’t very useful if none of you could fight.

His curiosity piqued, Dan Heng approached the group and asked them about their expedition. Their leader revealed that during their day-to-day life, the Garden of Recollection gave him a very strange… poem? Riddle? And that it would lead him to immeasurable power if they got there first. Dan Heng sighed inside—of course it did—but his thirst for knowledge would not be deterred. So he offered his services, simply wanting to document anything he found there and maybe a little money to cover lodgings and whatnot. The men, overjoyed, agreed.

The journey to the abandoned city was long but mostly uneventful; soon, the group had arrived at their location. Upon reciting the riddle (Dan Heng was half convinced it was a poem with the leader’s emphasized pauses at odd moments) the large stone doors cleverly disguised as mere sides of a cliff opened wide, casting light down into the city carved into two sides of a ravine, but still not enough to illuminate its lower levels.

The five of them had ventured down and down, exploring every little nook and cranny for any info they could find. The riddle/poem was not very helpful in what came next, so they brainstormed on a large platform in the side of the ravine—a town square of sorts, Dan Heng surmised. A large stone bridge crossed the ravine, where a dark river sat gently flowing.

And then the large glowing lizards appeared suddenly, soundless in the dark and attacked their near-defenseless group group and—

Oh. Dan Heng was falling off the bridge now into the river below.

It was warm and cold.

He felt like he was back inside of his egg, tightly insulated from the outside world, and yet the biting cold of the Shackling Prison(?) still seeped through, stabbing him in places he could not reach.

He tried to move his body, open his eyes, do something , but nothing responded to his calls. He screamed and yelled and begged and nothing escaped his lips; tears would fall, never to be seen since they could not be freed.

Then, in his mind’s eye, he saw a shooting star come rushing towards him—a blazing sign of hope and promises. It reminded him of the sight in Penacony, when those people from all over the galaxy had been called together just to provide a moment’s disturbance for the fatal counter-strike.

Dan Heng knew the dark well. Dan Heng did not like the dark. And so Dan Heng screamed out into the void for someone to save him.

When he finally managed to stir, he took into account all five of his sense at once:

Wrapped around his body was a thick, slightly scratchy blanket that made him feel tightly secure—like his egg or his bed at the Express. He could feel flickering heat near him, its warmth caressing his face.

Saltwater (or polluted water, unsure) hung on his tongue; he swallowed on reflex, trying to clear the mildly disgusting taste from his mouth.

The scent of fish wafted into his nose, bringing back memories of times before—good and bad, from hauntings of the Luofu to photographs of the Express.

The crackling of a burning fire filled the empty silence, reminding him of the whirring of the Archives; soon, the fire was joined by the rustle and jangle of metal shifting around and click-clacking across stone bricks to be by his side.

Finally, Dan Heng peeked his eyes open to be met by the warm, hazy glow of the fire and a body crouched next to his. Metal body, no shirt, black and white hair, and eyes that were always targeting someone or something .

“Boot… hill?” Dan Heng mumbled, brow furrowing. His vision blurred and his head swam as he tried to sit up. “Where…?”

“Take it easy there, partner,” Boothill’s mechanical voice said, a hand on Dan Heng’s chest coaxing him back down. “You’ve had quite the adventure, judging by your state.”

Dan Heng tried to think for a moment, but was knocked off his train of thought by a cup of water at his lips. He wrinkled his nose at the thought of drinking the river’s water, and Boothill’s laugh echoed through the place.

“Don’t worry ‘bout it! It’s not from that dirty old river,” the Galaxy Ranger reassured him. Dan Heng hummed hoarsely, then gratefully gulped down the offered cup—slowly, with each long gulp, his mental processes returned to him one by one.

Once the cup was finished, Dan Heng watched as Boothill rifled through a bag on the side, then looked around his surroundings. It seemed that Boothill had set up camp in one of the many lifeless homes, nondescript outside of their unique carvings on the walls.

“What happened?” Dan Heng asked quietly, his eyes flicking back to Boothill. The cyborg looked at him with a wide-eyed expression and something akin to a frown before shrugging.

“Got me beat, partner—I only just got here.”

“Why are you here?” Dan Heng immediately asked, then winced at the bite in his question. The Galaxy Ranger moved to sit next to him, watching carefully as Dan Heng sat up slowly. He pulled a cooked fish off of where it sat near the fire, and the Vidyadhara accepted the food graciously.

Boothill hummed, staring off into space for a few moments. Then, he began to speak:

“Yer a High Elder, aren’t you? Of the Vidyadhara.”

Dan Heng paused mid-chew, anxiety and panic flooding through systems. He quickly swallowed the torn piece and stammered out, “H-how did you know?”

Boothill looked back to him, and his gaze softened to one of… pity, almost. “We’re both Pathstriders of The Hunt. I’d be foolish to not recognize someone like me.”

Dan Heng looked down to the food in his hands, battling against the flood of memories that tried to breach his defenses. He had fought that battle against Dan Feng back while they were still on the Luofu; he was uninterested in fighting it again. “…I gave up the title of Imbibitor Lunae many centuries ago. At least… I tried to.”

Boothill hummed for a moment. “We’re both Pathstriders of The Hunt… and I heard someone like us crying out in despair.”

“Then we need to help them;” Dan Heng went to stand up, ignoring the throbbing in his entire body, “they could still need out help—“

He was halted by Boothill’s hand on his cheek, stilling his movements. The metal plates were cool against his warming cheeks, but not bitingly cold. The cool of a fan on a hot summer's day. Without realizing it, he’d leaned into it ever so slightly.

“I heard you ,” Boothill murmured. “I heard you begging for someone to save you and I came as fast as I could.”

“—Why?” Dan Heng blurted out after a beat, his mind muddling with every passing second. He couldn’t keep up with everything he was learning today. The thought of the motionless bodies of the other men crept into his mind, and then the lizards and the fight and the fall and the coldness—

Dan Heng was swept into Boothill’s arms suddenly; the blanket around him was left behind and his head rested on the junction between his neck and his head. Only then did Dan Heng realize he was shaking.

“You were amazin’ in that dream, y’know? Both of them. You put up a fantastic show for your friends and everyone else and even had me enraptured in your part of the show. It had me fooled, I’ll admit.

“But it’s over,” Boothill’s voice dropped to a mere comforting murmur. “It’s all okay. You can rest now.”

Dan Heng just sat there, petrified in the confusion of emotions flooding him. The cool grasp around him squeezed just a little tighter, and that was all it took for Dan Heng to bury himself into Boothill further.

Dan Heng did not like the darkness—in fact, Dan Heng hated the darkness, fearful of it even.

“It was too dark,” Dan Heng muttered into Boothill’s neck, his voice rising in hysterics as he continued to speak. “Reminded me too much of back then. It was cold, too cold, and too dark and I couldn’t do anything and—“

“Shh.” Boothill tugged the half-sobbing dragon into him ( if that was even possible, Dan Heng’s mind faintly commented). “You’re okay now. No more darkness or cold.”

“…I saw a shooting star. Near the end. It- it reminded me of when you summoned all those Galaxy Rangers in Penacony.”

“I guess the speed at which I flew over here could be compared to a shooting star,” Boothill commented, making Dan Heng snort a little in reply.

Silence lapsed between the two of them before the dragon breathed: “…I’m tired.”

“Well, your Express friends are on their way. You can get some rest before you go back with them.” The cyborg replaced Dan Heng back in the little sleeping bag he’d put him in; Dan Heng rolled himself into a cocoon immediately, much to the Ranger’s confusion and amusement.

Dan Heng glanced at him one more time, his eyes sparkling (with tears? just from relief?) as he quietly asked:

“Will you stay with me?”

Boothill understood immediately. The unspoken words between two Pathstriders of the same Path. Two hunters with too much in their pasts that always came back to them.

“As long as you want me.”

Dan Heng smiled weakly, humming in response to a hand ruffling his hair, then dozed off—not truly sleeping, but letting his mind shut down. Somewhere down the line, behind blurred and foggy memories, he felt arms pick him up and carry him a long way, never letting go until they’d arrived at the Express. Once he felt the familiar aura of the Express encircle him once more, Dan Heng truly allowed himself to fall asleep.

Dan Heng was not unfamiliar with the darkness. He did not like the darkness and was always afraid of returning to it.

But this time, no matter where he went in his dreams, a shooting star was always following after him.

And that— and he— lit up the darkness.

[angbangweek]

We are happy to announce the dates for this year's Angbang week:

May 6th - May 12th

Welcome one and all to the third annual Angbang appreciation event! Whether you're a previous participant, new to either tumblr or this pairing, or simply an event enjoyer who views and shares the new content, thank you for stopping by and taking a look! This year we have chosen to begin on a Monday with new dates rather than midweek, so the date of the event itself is a little later than in previous years, but everything else stays the same. (Prompts and additional explanation/info below the cut)

We would like to greet all new and returning participants and Angbang enjoyers alike to this year's week-long chaos couple event. Feel free to save the date or even spread this around if you're interested. As usual, any and all participation is welcome! We will be accepting any and all original creations for the upcoming event - visual, written or auditory, which is including but not limited to Fanfiction, Poetry, art both traditional and digital, playlists or other musical creations, moodboards, and anything else you may come up with. So long as they're new, or as of yet unpublished, created by you and feature Angbang, we want to see them and feature them! Unless it's an entire temple. Mairon has tried it several times before, and... well, we would prefer to remain undrowned if possible.

The list of prompts for this year (which can also be found in the image description):

Day 1 - May 6th: Scars | Injuries* Day 2 - May 7th: Haste | Malice Day 3 - May 8th: Spying | Shapeshifting Day 4 - May 9th: Mountains | Iron Day 5 - May 10th: Fire | Lava Day 6 - May 11th: Order | Chaos Day 7 - May 12th: Prompt of choice from the previous weeks*

*We are aware of the nature of the first prompt. Due to this, we do ask that in addition to all relevant tags, you add the correct tag of either "scars" or "injuries" to your work on day 1 should you choose to post it, especially the latter, so that people could filter it out. We will likewise add relevant tags to works featuring these prompts so that anyone may filter it out if they so wish. *As you've noticed, this year's final "free" prompt is a bit more restrictive, and would encourage using one of the prompts from previous years, found here and here. One of them is free space, but we do encourage using one of the non-day-7 ones if you can.

Like in the previous years, we encourage you to pick whichever prompt you like better of the two offered that day (you can also wait for another day if you don't like either prompt, or combine the two if you prefer, or even make content for both prompts if you're really looking for a challenge / prefer not sleeping during the month of May, whatever you like). Once you've picked a prompt and made content for it, use the current year's Angbang Week tag, which is either #AngbangWeek2024 or #Angbang Week 2024, or tag this blog directly when posting your prompt for us to reblog it. Try not to post it before the event starts (you can queue up specific posts for specific days to help with that), do not worry about being late, and most importantly, enjoy! No need to stress yourself out over silly ship stuff.

For any additional questions, requests, or additional clarification regarding anything event-related, feel free to send an ask or a DM at anytime!

[soon-palestine]

This is the guy behind charging Palestinians thousands of dollars to flee Gaza. It isn't 5000$ right now though, it's actually 10,000$

His name is Ibrahim Arjani 🧵

By the way, all what I'm talking about is only available in Arabic. I only translated and summarised from another thread that was in Arabic.

Hala is part of Organi Group whose CEO would be Ibrahim Arjani. He is really close to the current regime and has a complicated history.

Ibrahim Arjani was born in northern Sinai to the Tarabin tribe. His father is called Gom'a Arjani from the Tarabin tribe. His mother is Sabiha Sha'er who is from Gaza and he was actually raised with her in Khan Younis before moving back to Sinai.

In 2008, some Police officers clashed with the Bedouins of northern Sinai in suspicion of involvement in the 2004 and 2005 bombings and 3 guys from the Tarabin Bedouin were killed. Those officers left their bodies beside a trash can and no investigation was done regarding this.

Arjani was released in 2010. Now we jump to May 2014, when Sisi met up with Ibrahim Arjani (who appeared as the sheikh of the Tarabin tribe) as part of his campaign during the 2014 elections. He even dressed him in the Sinai abaya.

From here, the relationship between him and Sisi starts He founded the Misr Sinai company for investment which he became its CEO with the help of the military. This company's capital is HUGE with the military contributing to it by 51% while the other 49% are Sinai businessmen

This company's name was later changed to Organi group and he was involved in hundreds of projects with Sisi outside of Sinai.

And in exchange, Sisi helped him form his own armed militia in Sinai. In 2015, Arjani founded Sinai Tribes Union which tens of Sinai tribes are involved in. And part of this Sinai Tribes Union is the Knights of Al-Haytham brigade which serves the interests of Arjani.

And during the Sinai insurgency, these militants helped the Egyptian army and were accused by Sinai for Human Rights of using 37 schools in Sinai as military bases and destroying 59 more schools and there is actually a report by The Guardian about this. theguardian.com/world/2023/mar…

And as a side note, this isn't the only thing they did in Sinai. There was almost no media coverage of what was happening in Sinai as it was hidden from the public so it's been hard to determine the toll on civilians there. But sometimes, vids were leaked:

As well as many testimonies and like hundreds of videos and info leaked by Sinai for Human Rights but it really needs a whole other thread. Sinai for Human Rights is the one who revealed that refugee camp they were building as well.

In any case in 2014 after the aggression on Gaza, the only company that obtained authorization to enter building materials into Gaza during the reconstruction was the Organi group and they monopolized this and became the biggest beneficiary in Gaza out of this aggression.

Zvi Bar'el, a political analyst for Haaretz, said that the main beneficiary from rebuilding Gaza is the Organi group and that Egypt's monopoly benefits Israel's policies. He also said that Arjani does this on behalf of the Egyptian gov't so they don't "get their hands dirty."

Arjani basically controls all the crossings between Sinai and Palestine and Israel. There were even instances of him using these crossings to smuggle drugs and for human trafficking, according to one of the sheikhs in Sinai.

And on the 7th of November 2023, Resolution No. 234 was published on the official Gazette appointing Arjani as a member of the National Authority for the Development of the Sinai Peninsula which means Arjani's control of ALL of Sinai was complete.

This is the same Sinai whose people were displaced and God knows what else happened there because of the heavy media blackout during the insurgency.

Anyway after all of this, the Egyptian media wants us to believe that he is just a businessman. Does this look like "just a businessman" to you? This is one of the reasons why many Egyptians call him the Hemedti of Egypt.

They're so heavily armed from the gov't. Absolutely doesn't look like he just formed his own militias in Sinai with the help of the gov't or anything.

Hi! Welcome to the Coastober Tumblr Blog!

You might be wondering what Coastober even is, having stumbled upon this by either some fluke or by someone you know taking part. Either way, Coastober is a design challenge created by @rose-grimm-spirit-does-dumb-shit that runs throughout October where you make a design a day based on a ride or attraction designated for that day. So for an example from last year, the 7th of October was designated for The Dragon at Legoland Windsor.

Anyone can take part, however I thought it'd be good to answer any potential questions you may have as well as a general rundown for those who haven't really taken part in stuff like this before!

FAQ

Are you affiliated with/copying CoasterMaynia?

First things first, nope to both. If we ever end up teaming up for whatever reason then this may change but for now they don't know Coastober exists, I also made Coastober before I had any idea that CoasterMaynia existed as I started this back before I was properly in the Tumblr Thoosie circles!

Does Coastober ONLY focus on coasters?

Nope! We actually focus on a healthy mix of coasters, flat rides, and scare attractions! This is another thing that sets us apart from CoasterMaynia.

When does the official lineup for the year come out?

It'll likely come out in September, this is because the "Official" Coastober prompt list is based off my own lineup and since I'm an avid Fright Nights fan I always wait till we have our official event lineup released so I can throw in our newest addition.

Do I have to follow the official prompt lineup to take part?

Nah, if you want you can create your own list for that year and it'll still count! Besides, I can't guarantee that you'll always like the look of my picks and since I like to throw in scare-attractions too there's some that might make you a lil' uncomfy to look into.

The official list I'd say should be taken more as like a guideline or "Hey here's something you can follow if you wanna challenge yourself or can't think of one", it's not absolute sacriledge if you don't use it y'know.

What should I do with my designs during/after Coastober?

Whatever you want! I personally put 'em up for ota and watch people snap 'em up but what you do with them is entirely your call, you could even end up trading coastobers with other participants if you find you've both got designs the other really likes!

What if I'm busy or life happens so I can't finish on time?

Easy, just don't sweat it and take your time. The aim of Coastober isn't to whack out designs one after the other but to learn more about the themed-ents world, push your art and designing skills and have fun. If you have to take a break, miss a day, or even fail to finish within the month then that's okay, feel free to finish everything at a time when you're more capable and available.

After all, october is quite the busy month for thoosies after all and looking after yourself is priotity!

How To Coastober

Pick your lineup. You can either go the official lineup or make your own, both work. Though if you're a little stuck, here's a nifty comparison of the two.

2. Get prepped! While this step isn't exactly nesecary, it certainly does not hurt to do a bit of pre-Coastober research and idea rotating in the run-up. It helps the process flow easier when you're actually doing it!

3. Get going! The time has come, October is here! So grab your pens and snatch your pencils and get designing, remember to both credit myself {Spirit} for the concept of Coastober and tag your designs with #coastober on tumblr so this account can find and reblog them!

Other Useful Info

Account Mods This account is currently ran by: - @rose-grimm-spirit-does-dumb-shit {The Creator of Coastober} - @cherrykitkat

Prompts Lists, both past and present - 2024 OFFICIAL LIST

Fun Facts Coastober's been going on since 2021, this year however {2024} is the first year I'm actually making a proper effort to make it more accessible to others! That's why the prompts list will only go up to 2024!

[cat-dragron]

Hey what is murder drones? I see it about, is it on netflix? Sorry to be annoying

You are not being annoying at all! In fact you have activated my hyper fixation trap card!!

It's an indie animated show that can be watched on YouTube, it's made by Glitch Productions who you may know for also working on The Amazing Digital Circus (it's okay if you don't know that I've just spoken to people who only know Glitch via TADC). Murder Drones is a sci-fi horror comedy with robots as the main characters, there are currently 7 episodes out with the final 8th episode on the way. We don't know when it'll drop but I believe it might drop in a few months or so!

I've been fixated on it since the 7th episode dropped like a month ago so that might be why you were seeing on your dash haha. Its a really, really good show and I highly recommend it for anyone who's even slightly interested!! Fair warning though, the horror is not a joke in this. For context, I really like body horror and I'm a big fan of the Mystery Flesh Pit. There's bits in EP 7 of Murder Drones that tickles the same part of my brain that The Mystery Flesh Pit does haha. Just wanna make sure people are aware of that going in.

If you do end up watching it or uh just wanna give me space to gush and info dump about this show feel free to ask about it!!! I've rewatched the show like 7/8 times by now and I've scrubbed through a lot of the scenes frame by frame to analyze it. Fun fact, I started watching the show like a week before EP 3 came out and watched EP 4 when it came out. Then I forgot about it until EP 6 dropped and hyper fixated on it for a bit until that faded because there was a 7 month gap between episodes lol.

Okay, I'm gonna stop rambling for now but thank you for the ask!! I do mean it, if you have any questions feel free to send them in or dm me!!!! I love talking about Murder Drones hehe

[northopalshore]

Hello! I hope you're doing well :D Can you help me with this please, I'm still trying to learn how to interpret my SRC. For 2025/2026 I'm a Taurus Rising and in my 12th House I have Moon, Chiron and Venus (all in Aries) I also have asteroid Fama but in Taurus. I know Mars is the ruler of Aries and Mars is in my 4th house in Leo. What would this mean? The aspects for the Moon, Chiron and Venus all conjunct each other and then all three trine Mars. The only aspect shown for Fama is that it squares Mars. I read that Venus in 12th can represent cheating or feeling at a loss in love but I'm not too sure. I'm currently single by the way and have never been with anyone. So could that be the trigger/insecurity which is that I haven't had any experience in love? I only experienced rejection and guys choosing other girls over me or ppl still being stuck on past lovers lol (I'll also be turning 23 so it's my 12th House Profection year). Also, for this year I have Vertex, Briede and Union all in my 7th house in the sign of Leo and I'm a Capricorn rising. So could I find someone but then it will end eventually? Sorry for the amount of info, it's a lot but I really love your interpretations. I learn so much from you!! <3

𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋ Hello!

A 12th house Stellium is never easy regardless of which chart you're looking at. In the solar return, well it dictates your whole year!

Like I said previously however, you shouldn't look at it with hopeless eyes but rather take this time to get to know yourself better. While all else may waver, fall or stay stagnant, you will always be there with yourself against all odds; walking.

From the looks of it, falling in love this year & falling out of love the subsequent year seems very possible.

In 25/26, the planets in your 12th house are Moon, Venus & Chiron (w Fama) feels like a familiar pain. You could be sacrificing a lot for this new person and falling into old habits (lack of boundaries & equality in the relationship).

The 12th house ruler (mars) in the 4th house can mean expressing your loneliness and pain at home. Taking out your frustrations on yourself. If you live with family or friends this could cause a few arguments and tension, if not then you may take it out on yourself at home/when you're alone (which means a lot of crying & "drama" at home lol.

Though more so than that...

From what you've given me, it doesn't seem like the best choice to jump into any romantic relationships or situationships.

The 12th house is about the self, trauma, healing inner wounds and getting to know your subconscious. Everything seems to be telling you to rest & recuperate. Think of what truly speaks to you, and address any issues that you may have around love, loyalty and commitment but also maintaining healthy boundaries.

Even in this year's SRC, Union, Vertex & Briede in the 7th house tells me that you're supposed to look for that love in yourself. Falling in love with you. (Especially in Leo lmaoo).

A lot of tears will be involved, but as long as those tears are for you; meaning that they are a sign of you acknowledging your worth and what you truly deserve then it's like watering a sprout in the early spring.

Regardless of what you choose, I'd like to reassure you that you aren't unlovable.

You are strong, lovely and kind. You just have to show that more to yourself. The universe doesn't give you any challenge you can't overcome, so stand proud love. You are strong.

ANALYZING THE BROTHERHOOD

(SIDE NOTE:

this post will bring up but slander the ships such as lionpeach and shadowpeach cause well I will explain in the analysis and it just my opinion don’t send hate)

So i decided to analyze the brotherhood as a whole with every member of the brotherhood

Now currently right now there are 6 members we know about yellow tusk Peng macaque dbk azure and of course sun wukong although we don’t know who the 7th brother (or sister??) is due to the extra chair in the flashback of episode 2 we may see them in season 5 (or special??)

Now during this analysis I will talk the main ones in interest since we barely know the two Peng and yellow tusk and we don’t know dbk opinion currently was on them before the trio attacked and wukong cause well I don’t have much info to get out of his past self

The main one of interest I will be talking about is macaque and azure lion to start it off easy we will start of with azure lion

Now as we know azure lion worked for the celestial realm either as a lead general cause in one of the flashbacks he has been seen to be reporting to the jade emperor himself

So he was once probably at high rank of some kind although from we saw from the flashbacks he wasn’t really happy cause of the celestial realm ignoring the sick and hungry in the mortal realm which makes his intentions during season 4 pretty pure that he would do anything to help people who are suffering even if it means doing bad things

Although from what I guess it made him pretty much some sort of outcast to the celestial realm due to from what we seen the celestial put themselves before others as they party and feast most the time while azure just wanted to help people I don’t really know how he left if he left there by choice or something but during that time is where he first met wukong

Now many people say azure felled in love with wukong during this but I think otherwise let me explain

Now azure wasn’t really in love with him he was very impressed that wukong managed to make such a beautiful paradise (honestly if I were him I would be very impressed too if this ginger demon monkey with a golden staff managed to accomplish many things and make a such beautiful and peaceful paradise for his subjects )

Plus in this scene azure said during the flashback he knew wukong was a warrior who had his ideals a brother a king and none of that didn’t seem romantic no it seems he was glad there is finally someone who knows what they were doing and how to help his subjects to the point he wanted to help him with it and wanted be his sworn brother from the start

Now I wish to analyze this part more but there isn’t other scenes of how he introduced himself to wukong how they became sworn brothers ETC

Anyways now back to the flashback in episode 2

Now as we look more of the group they seem to really act like brothers especially wukong and macaque hell wukong even calls the two Monkie bros it showed that they all really did see eachothers as brothers as family which makes it hurt breaking knowing what happens later

but during this scene it seems to be after the havoc of heaven now I’m not sure if it’s exactly like how it happened in the book journey to the west but it seems similar but during this they are discussing who should be the new ruler of celestial dbk suggested azure the brothers seem to agree

but azure seems to not want the position and say wukong would fit cause he brought all them together in the first place (and it’s also probably because he knows wukong would suit perfectly for the job cause wukong seems to be more caring and more relaxed then how he is in the current time of Monkie kid and wukong would help the people who are suffering in the mortal realm )

but as we all know when they go decided to overthrown the jade emperor for the first time it didn’t end well now that’s the end for azure analysis next up is macaque

now there is not much known how macaque was like during the past but he seems to be more of the cautious and quieter one out of all his brothers to the point he sometimes gets called a coward at times

but he did seem to just worry for his brothers and himself with good reasons now yes azure is right about the celestial realm and jade emperor but macaque is also right that it’s not a good idea to anger the jade emperor cause something bad could happen! (And it did)

although he did seem disconnected from his brothers I’m sure they do care for him he was just a little to different the only one who he felt like could understand him was of course wukong

back then it seems they were the closest out of the brothers they genuinely cared for eachother wukong did notice macaque seemed to be stressed about the plan wukong cheered up promising after everything was over they get to go back to ffm and eat some fruit and chill with seems to cheer macaque up

cause if you look closely he seem to still have a sad expression like he knew something bad will happen which probably he knew cause of his six ears it said one hears the past one hears the present and the other future he guessed that he couldn’t change it and just spend the time he had with his brothers before everything goes downhill with they go fight heaven

well that’s all hope ya enjoy it

'We Were Born For This' Birthday's

Some more Info for 'We Were Born For This'!

March 13th- Desmond (Canon) 19th- Mario (Canon)

April 7th- Maria (fan-made) 15th Leonardo (Canon)

May 3rd- Giovanni (Canon)

June 24th- Ezio (Canon)

August 26th- Federico (fan-made)

October 30th- Clay (fan-made)

December 25th- Petruccio (fan-made)

Explanations for fan-made birthdays!

Maria- Not too sure why I picked this date for Maria, honestly, but after I looked up Leonardo's birthday for the fic and saw how close I had made her b-day to Leo's, I couldn't change it. I figured Maria would be ecstatic that her b-day was so close to her new favorite artist's.

Federico- This was kind of based on Federico's clothes. He wears warm colors and lets his shirt gape open, so I picked a summer month that would kind of include the way he left his shirt open, but more towards the end of the summer to hint at the changing colors of the leaves. It made sense when I picked it a few months ago, can't really remember my reasoning now lol.

Clay- This was real simple. 10/30 is the day Clay's digital body died, and it's just like Ubisoft to reuse characters' death days as other characters ' birthdays.

Petruccio- I just wanted Petruccio to be a Christmas baby. Also, take into account that canonically he dies on 12/29, then he would have turned 13 literally 4 days before he died.

Now, take into account the canon b-day's, that means in WWBFT I ignored Petruccio, Claudia, and Mario's b-days. Petruccio and Claudia could have been excused with them just getting to Monteriggioni and all the stress that has just happened, but Desmond's b-day was celebrated and Mario's was literally 5 days later and I didn't even mention it.

Priorities.

Current Ages!
