My experience with WeLoveFine/ForFansByFans as an artist.

This in regards to the Act 6/7 Tarot Project, which occurred from 2017 to 2018. I also want to thank @aryll for the chance to participate in such a project, and thank you for doing what you could with the group and what occurred. I realize this is a few years late, however, but it’s been bothering me ever since it occurred, and I only chose to speak my mind about it. But to summarize, the project started out as unofficial, however we were approached by FFBF in February of 2018. They were willing to sell the deck as official merchandise on their store. I have my own opinions on the company, as it’s known they underpay artists severely for their work despite selling most items for extremely high prices. A similar payment issue occurred with the Official Homestuck Zine, and one of the artists of the Tarot Project posted this in the comments:     “Can relate OP. I did work for the new tarot deck (using my throwaway account for that reason lol) but we aren’t being paid at all. No money. The only compensation we are getting is a free deck and an exclusive enamel pin which is pennies compared to what they’ll be making off us. One might argue that the project wasn’t supposed to be printed so I should be grateful it’s even happening but I expected a big company like WLF to y’know, pay artists... The only reason I agreed to letting them use my art was to get a free deck. I also honestly dislike WLF’s artist compensation policy. My art has been selected from the Fan Forge before and the idea of being able to sell my HS art was so appealing, but the execution is so poor. They don’t pay us until we sell $100 worth of shirts, but that is so difficult in a market that is so oversaturated. I wish they like, cycled designs in and out. Instead, they just keep adding more and more designs, drowning out old ones and just flooding the entire market. Plus, they get to withhold money from artists until every hundred-dollar mark. I can’t imagine how much they’ve made off of small time artists that get their design accepted and sell maybe 3 shirts since it happens so often.” So. What exactly happened? I’ll explain under the cut given there’s a decent amount to go through. Though to summarize; WeLoveFine/ForFansByFans is an extremely egregious company that does not value their artists whatsoever and will do what they can to pay them as little as possible. Please support said artists on sites that actually do give them fair pay, or support them via commissions.

There were a few bumps during the tarot project, though overall it went extremely smoothly and we released our art to the Tumblr blog. FFBF approached us during this time, and we were all given the option to agree to continue working or the project or decline. However, this is what was an important piece to the initial email sent out by the Tarot Project team;      • Each participating artist will get a full finalized copy of the deck, COMPLETELY free. This includes packaging and free shipping of the deck.      • Each participating artist will get an enamel pin commemorating the project, EXCLUSIVE to the artists of this project only, with a custom design as chosen/designed by us. What will most likely occur is that everyone who wishes to submit a design for the pin can do so, and as a group, we will vote on which one we would like to submit as our final design choice!     • Each participating artist will receive FULL COMMISSION on any further usage of their artwork by What Pumpkin or For Fans By Fans. For example, if they release a mini-print, wallet, etc. with your design on it, you will be paid in commission for the usage of your work. (If you have ANY questions about how this would work, please don’t hesitate to ask and I will hook you up ASAP with a For fans By Fans representative who can go over the details with you further.)     • Each participating artist will have a window in which they will be able to make updates or revisions to their illustration(s) before the project is released. This means that if something is bugging you about your work, or you feel that it does not reflect your current level of skill, you will be allowed to resubmit a new version before the project officially goes up as merchandise! So, the majority of us agreed to continue forward with the project and retouch our cards. From there, things continued, and we were emailed by a FFBF representative on occasion to discuss how the process went, as well as various other things that required discussion, plus asked to assist in the promotion of the 4/13/18 celebration on their website. This is where the issues began and would continue through the entire project, with it still being seen post-release of the cards. We were sent an email in April of 2018 requiring information to be provided in the  accompanying booklet of the deck, as well as being asked to answer various interview questions that would be posted to FFBF’s Tumblr, and most importantly; the Commission Agreement form. So what did it entail? This was the form I was sent. My interview was never posted. I have looked multiple times and never seen evidence it ever was, either. And this was also included in the email;    • We are going to be hosting a pre-order bonus promotion surrounding the new tarot set, starting 413. Anyone who pre-orders the set will be entered into a drawing to win a commissioned art piece from a random artist who worked on the tarot. You will be paid by us, FFBF, for this commission work in the amount of $50.  So we had to draw more art with a very close deadline date to obtain a payment  for art we had already created, both of which should have easily been worth more than $50 total. I signed without thinking, which looking back on, was incredibly idiotic, despite my own worries over the fact that even at the time, $50 did not seem like a lot. Progress continued. An exclusive pin was designed and created for the artists, though the production and delivery dates would be delayed to September of 2018. During this time, we were also invited to join FFBF’s Discord server as well, which I am still in, though am not active in. And eventually, we were provided a Commission Schedule. I do not know if I’m missing an email between the enamel pin shipment and this schedule post, however I cannot find any trace of it. This is the Commission Schedule email, and what it consists of. Of course I found it strange, because looking at the schedule, I could never find any sign of myself having been added. Obviously I should have replied then and there due to that, but I didn’t, and that is my own fault. But that rolled into October of 2018, when I did finally email back and asked about why I hadn’t been added. I was sent back this; “Hi Calicorn! I’m sorry I misinterpreted your response as not wanting to proceed:“3)  I am completely willing to sign up for being one of the artists for the commission raffle event, though I must say $50 would be underpaying considering most artists’ base prices for commissions tend to be $50 or more.” Then I sent “If you do not want to be part of the give-away, that’s totally ok. We are offering $50 for these commissions but if that price is not within your comfort, there’s no pressure!” You never came back with anything so I didn’t want to proceed since it seemed like you were uncomfortable with the amount we were offering – I’m really sorry if I misunderstood! The giveaway is actually over I’m sorry to say but I appreciate you following up about this. I wonder why the message went into spam.. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you Thanks!” And one of the most glaring issues popped up in October as well. When we finally received our decks in the mail, our project’s Discord group began to discuss the fact that our emails had been printed in the pamphlet without our permission. Mind you, this was also a project that included minors in it, and our emails had now been given away without our knowledge. Another issue with the pamphlets is the fact that FFBF had reused the same text from the Homestuck Kickstarter Tarot Deck, as seen on the New Booklet/Old Booklet, and here/here. FFBF then decided to remove the booklet from every outgoing tarot that gets ordered, with customers receiving a corrected digital PDF that was coordinated in its creation by Aryll. And apparently previous customers would receive this PDF via emails, as well as a link to download it on the product page. Thankfully FFBF seemed to have at least posted the PDF on the product page, however this seems extremely lazy compared to simply including the newly reprinted booklet. Though this may not be the last of issues, as I stumbled across the Amazon product page for our tarot deck earlier before typing this all up. To say the least, it is extremely infuriating, especially given the quality of the cards and how many people of complained about them on both Amazon and FFBF’s websites. Of course we, the artists, were never alerted to this development, nor were we paid for such.

But overall, we were hardly paid for our time and effort during this project, which is a massive disappointment, but perhaps that much should have been expected from WeloveFine/ForFansByFans, who are notorious for underpaying artists and overpricing products. Their actions are inexcusable, and I am still both disappointed and furious with this company as a whole. But thank you for reading, and please spread the word, as I do not want FFBF’s actions to go unnoticed.

Sweet on You

So this is mostly based off of a dream I had the other day. It is my first piece of writing that I’m publishing so I’m sorry if it isn’t amazing. I was inspired tremendously by Kaytizzle and if you haven’t read her amazing stuff I don’t know what you’re doing with your life! I don’t know how long it will be, I’m still trying to figure all of it out. 

It will be in a Y/N format and is slight AU from the timeline. I’m not choosing to ignore Endgame...but I’m choosing to ignore most of Endgame. Because I refuse to accept the pain! I don’t have a beta so all the errors are my own!

Pairings: Steve Rogers x FemaleReader (Y/N)

Summary: You’ve been working with the Avengers for a little over two years and one night you receive a late night phone call that scares the hell out of you! 

Words: 1,669 (Yikes!)

Rating: PG 13 (For the Language)

Warnings: Language (cursing), sad feels. It’s mostly fluff until at some point my brain comes up with some plot moving monster. Thanks for reading! Tagging @kaytizzle because she asked and I don’t think I could ever say no to her.

 Sweet on you

Part One: The Phone Call

12:00 Am.

It started as a buzzing sound. The vibration barely caused your phone to move on your nightstand as the screen lit up a small section of your darkened room. You didn’t even stir from your slumber as the phone continued, sound asleep and dead to the world on this now Wednesday morning. But that only lasted three to five seconds before the ring tone came blaring through your  consciousness.

You were jolted awake at the sound of a “Red Alert” from Star Trek playing from the phone’s speaker at the loudest possible volume. Mumbling a long strand of curses and insults at the mystery caller you reached your arm onto your nightstand. You pulled your phone to your face after blindly grabbing it, and you felt your face pale as your eyes focused onto the blue eyes of the contact picture.

Steve Rogers. Captain America.

The Avengers had been away at a mission in Florida for the past week and a half. You didn’t have all the details about the giant drug ring they had gone down to break up but what you did know is your employer, Pepper Potts was NOT happy about it. At all. But she was also currently almost seven months pregnant with Tony Stark’s child, so you could understand why she was on edge. You quickly pressed the green button and accepted the call, your fingers shaking as you brought the phone to your ear.

“Rogers? Are you alright? Is everyone alright? What’s going on you never call me like this.” Your voice was panicked and rough, fear coursing through your veins.

“Y/N? Put me on speaker I’m afraid we might lose reception.”

His voice was calm but filled with authority as you jammed your index finger onto the speaker function, nodding as if he could see you.

“Alright we’re good. Now what...” You were cut off by what sounded to be a lot of hushed tones and counting before your ears were subjected to the most horrid sound you could ever think to hear at midnight.

Singing. Very awful, and out of tune singing.

“Happy birthday toooo yooou,”

You groaned into the phone before grabbing the pillow to your left and shoving it over your ears in poor hopes of drowning out the infernal noise, dropping the device onto your bed as the team continued to sing to you. Today was your thirtieth birthday. You had spent the past week trying to forget it was coming but oh no, not on your friend’s watch. You wondered if it was possible to gouge your own ears out. It would make dealing with Sam and Bucky banter a whole hell of a lot easier.

“Happy birthday dear Y/N! Happy birthday to youuuu.”

“And maaany mooore...” You failed to suppress a giggle as Sam’s loud baritone rang over the rest of the group before they erupted in cheers and hollers.

“You are all assholes! I was trying to sleep! Do you have any idea what it’s been like working for Pepper while you’ve been away? She’s trying to kill me!”

“Oh chill out Y/N we only wanted to be the first ones to call ya.” Sam called out, you sitting up in your bed and pulling your legs to your chest.

“Yea Y/N at least you’re not in my shoes. Could always be a lot worse, remember that.” Tony’s sass was always something you looked forward to, even if his wife was an absolute nightmare in her current condition.

“Considering you’re the one that put her in this position Tony I think you deserve to be public enemy number one.” You quipped and heard a rousing chorus of laughter from everyone on the Quinjet. Well, everyone but Tony.

“Well we were going to name the kid after you Y/N but now that will have to change. You know we have lots of other real family and friends that would kill for that honor.” You scoffed, shaking your head knowing full well he had a well placed pout on his face.

“Yea like Pepper’s weird uncle.” You heard Natasha mutter near the phone and nearly barked out a laugh in response.

“Listen Sweetheart we’re getting off track here.” Steve cut in and you felt the energy of the conversation shift. His tone was serious, commanding, and yet the sincerity was something you never could hear enough of from him. You had been sweet on him for a few months now and hearing him call you Sweetheart always managed to give you goose bumps. You loved hearing it, even if he didn’t mean it in the way you secretly hoped he did.

“We just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday. We know your parents haven’t always been the best and we wanted to be here for you. Thirty is a great number and you’re an amazing person. You deserve a life with people who love you. We’re lucky you picked us.”

Your heart stopped for a beat as he took a breath, the rumble of the Quinjet landing giving you some peace of mind before wandering to what he had said.

People who love you.

Your life hadn’t always been so full of laughter and love. Growing up had been exceedingly difficult, your parents always away on business as lawyers and extremely cold when they were home.

At your high school graduation, when you told them you wanted to go into the administrative field and not the “Family Business” suddenly your “supportive” family became strangers. You fought the whole week you packed for college in New York, far away from California and your controlling parents. Your mom and dad were furious over it, and vowed to cut you out if you went through with your chosen career.

You graduated college with a major in marketing and a minor in business with honors on a full ride scholarship. Your parents didn’t bother showing up, just simply sent you a cold letter explaining your removal from their will and family. To say you were a mess was putting it lightly. You focused your rage into your career right out of the gate, jumping into the field less than month after you graduated. It didn’t take long before you started as an intern with Stark Enterprises, then moving up the ladder to work directly underneath Pepper. After six months there you were moved to The Tower and received the amazing opportunity to work exclusively with The Avengers.

Two years later and you couldn’t be happier. It didn’t take the team long to warm up to you, and now you considered them to be your chosen family. Between missions you found yourself grabbing coffee with Nat and Sam. You help Thor and Cap train, while also helping them adapt to the modern world. They nearly kill you with their five am jogs but they always treat you to pancakes afterwards. Also there is the big bonus of you getting to stare at Thor and Captain America while they’re sweaty. It’s a win-win. Recently you all decided to get together once a month and have a movie and board game night. It’s always tons of fun and your face always ends up hurting from all the smiles and laughing.

But still after all that you couldn’t help but feel a little somber, this birthday marking the eleventh one without your mom and dad.

“Y/N?”

Steve’s gentle tone made you blink back into the present, forgetting temporarily about the conversation at hand. You quickly moved your finger to take the phone off speaker and held it back to your ear.

“Yea sorry, ya lost me for a minute. What were you saying?”

“I was saying that we just finished landing back at the Tower and we’re going to get some shut eye but don’t worry, we will all be there at eight o’clock sharp for the meeting with Pepper.”

“Good, cause I’m looking forward to my annual Captain Rogers birthday hug.” Oh that sounded creepy. Shit. You tried to calm down, secretly super happy that he couldn’t see the blush spreading across your face. You couldn’t help but smile, it widening as you heard him chuckle; a deep sound from within his chest that always managed to make you feel a little light headed. Is that what they meant when they said “To swoon”?

“I wouldn’t miss it for the world Y/N.”

Damn your heart could have melted into a puddle at that very moment. Seriously he was going to give you a cavity from being so sweet. What was worse is he was always like this. You weren’t complaining but it was hard to try to get a read on him sometimes.

You exchanged goodbyes with everyone else before hearing them leave the jet, glancing down at your phone and looking at the time. Nearly one am. Holy shit you were going to need a caffeine I.V to make it through tomorrow. And you still had to bake scones and muffins for everyone. And grab coffee. And make yourself look presentable for the meeting. You sighed, forgetting Steve was still on the line.

“Alright Doll I’m going to let you get some more sleep. Happy birthday again, I’ll see you soon.”

“Goodnight Steve, thank you. I really do appreciate it.”

“Not a problem! Anything for my best girl! Goodnight.”

The call ended and you looked down at your phone in shock. His best girl? What the hell was that supposed to mean? You sat the phone back on the nightstand and plugged it into the charger before resuming your position from earlier, facing the wall and staring into the dark room. Except now you were wide awake and mulling over the conversation in your head. There was no way on god’s green earth that Captain Steve Rogers thought of you as anything more than a friend. Right? 

One thing was for absolutely certain. Maybe thirty wasn’t going to be so bad after all.

Historical reconstruction of what a Devdasi's day might have been in a south Indian temple in 15th Century.'Nrutya Seva of VasantSena' at the ‘Vitthal Mandir’ in Vjayanagar, Hampi, Karnataka, South India (I wrote the essay for the ‘Temple Architeture’ course at OCHS)

Nrutya Seva of VasantSena

“Make way!  Make way!” Thundered a guard of the eastern Gopuram.  Four guards in bright white dhotis, with large Vaishnav tilaks on their foreheads and biceps, held long lances and swords, as they kept a vigilant eye on all passers-by.  

Spotting Vasantsena and her maid coming up the main thoroughfare of the ‘Vitthala Ratha Marg’, he alerted all pilgrims to stand aside to let the ladies through.  “Make way! Make way!”  Without slowing her pace, Vasantsena smiled and exchanged a short bow with the guards as she walked through the beautifully carved, white granite gateway.  Thick torans and garlands of green leaves and fresh flowers framed the gateway two stories tall.  The ladies walked past the thick wooden doors of the shrine, decorated with bronze florets and guarded by iron spikes.  A vermillion covered Gaja-Lakshmi sat atop the doorframe.  Ganesh, Indra and other Gods and Goddesses graced various niches carved on the thick doorframe.  Multiple statues of Vishnu’s dashavatar adorned the soaring levels of the Gopuram above, surrounded by a bevy of celestials and saints.  Their bright colours stood out against the canvas of the sun-burnt blue sky.  

Passage under the tall 5 storied gopuram was cooler and quieter than the busy market place beyond.  Raised platform on either side of the passage led to rooms reserved for guards and guard the footwear of the temple workers.    

Emerging from the under the gateway, both ladies walked past the carved images of pious donors, prostrating full length on the flagstones.  So as to be blessed by the touch of devotees feet as they entered the temple complex for all eternity, donors had their names and images carved on the flagstones below the gopuram.  Though dressed in a simple white saree with red flowers, she her bearing and poise made everyone stand out of her way and admire her as she walked through the courtyard.

Vasantsena poured water of the Tungabhadra from a copper pot in the large, raised bed, of Tulsi plants.  Prayer tray in hand, Vasantsena first bowed at the bali-peeth.  Depositing a few flowers and jaggery on the lotus platform sitting atop a square base.  She silently prayed for the happiness of all creatures.  A group of ants immediately fulfilled her wishes, carting away crumbs of jiggery.  The ladies bowed and touched the tall gilded Dwajasthambha in unison.  They looked up at the golden sheet of the divine flag, inscribed with various insignias of Vishnu.  

It was impossible to tell where the male pilgrims came from.  Regardless of caste and class, all men only wore their dhoti.  Even the brahmins and courtiers forego of their upper garment in the spirit of equality.  Looking at the different style and design of sarees though, you could easily tell where the women came from.  Little children ran around the chariot shrine of Garuda, playing catch, spinning the wheels of the chariot as they ran.  From the dire warnings shouted by their grandmother, they seemed to be from the coastal region of Kokan.  

Smiling at the fearlessness of the children, Vasantsena approached the front of the ‘Chariot shrine’ and offered a delicate garland of jasmine buds to the ‘vahana’ of Vishnu sitting in an elaborate ‘vahana’ of his own.  With due reverence, Vastansena bowed to Shri Vitthala’s Garuda in the front court of the temple.  Rearing horses of glistening white granite pulled the grand chariot.  Sitting on a giant mandala, the stone chariot was decorated with windows, balconies and finely carved celestial beings.  Freshly painted, the chariot looked resplendent in the paved courtyard of the temple.  

A young priest, his head freshly tonsured, was dozing in the doorway.  Jingling of Vasantsena’s anklets and bracelets startled him awake. Intoning sacred verses, he offered the garland to the bronze icon of Garuda and brought back a couple of lotuses as sacrament from the sacred vehicle of Vishnu.  Touching the lotus to their eyes, the ladies took a deep breath to inhale the scent of the pink and white lotuses.

Duly blessed, they proceeded quickly across the burning flagstones to the Mahamandap of the Vijay Vitthal temple.  Ascending a short flight of stairs, decorated by elephants, they entered the cool interior of the main temple.  Sitting atop layers of elephants, warriors, birds and flowers, the Mahamandap comprised of four mandaps, each with its own function and its own decorative style.  A beautiful hall with rearing Yali was used by Brahmin priests to teach the finer points of scriptures to mature students.  Another hall had pillars, 10 feet tall, boldly carved with horses, mounted by brave warriors of Vijayanagar army.  The king and his court used the hall for royal functions and rituals.  At present, half-life size bronze statues of the king and his principle queen stood facing the deities.

Musicians-hall had famous musicians, singers and dancers of yesteryears, immortalised in stone.  Delicately carved musical pillars of this hall were the envy of the country and nations beyond the seven seas.  Seven slender pilasters surrounded each pillar of the Musicians-hall.  Each pilaster gave off seven notes from different instruments – percussion, wind, string etc.  Vastansena had fond memories of attending several musical functions in this wonderful hall.  The Narasimha hall was used for religious rituals to be carried out during major festivals when the inner hall was judged to be too small for large crowds visiting the temple.  

Walking through the Mahamadap, the ladies entered the main audience chamber of the temple.  Carving on the pillars of the Jagmohan was less exuberant, but more serene than the outer halls.  Its square based pillars had Krushna lila and the Dashavatar carved on their plain sides. Painted with red and white, they highlighted the sculptures on the pillars that seemed to disappear into the unseen height of the ceiling above.  Jagmohan was mostly enclosed with only three entrances at the cardinal points. Its fourth, western aperture, led to the anti-chamber of the inner sanctum.  

Excusing herself past other pilgrims, Vasantsena stepped in the small antechamber in front of the inner sanctum.  Reserved for the royal family, honourable court officials and temple workers, this was the exclusive preserve of the privileged few.  Carved and painted lotus sprang and climbed rapidly from elaborate pots on either side of the sacred doorway.  The symmetrical and repetitive form of the ‘kumbha pankjas’ focused the attention of the devotee to the deity in the inner sanctum.  A half lotus step led to a threshold decorated with a kirtimukha, assuring those who passed beyond that Kala, time, had no power over them here.  

Inside the inner sanctum, Shri Vijay Vitthala stood serenely on a rectangular ‘brick’ decorated with a fully blossomed lotus.  His hands on hips, Shri Vitthala had the lotus and the Sudarshan chakra in his beautifully carved hands.  Smooth, polished black schist of the icon was wonderfully framed by a silver arch topped by a giant Kirtimukha.  Smiling softly, life-size murti of Vjaya Vitthala waited patiently for his devotees to come to him.  Shri Vishnu stood on a Vedi carved as an elaborate mandala that reduced and redacted to a circular stem, rising from the floor of the inner-sanctum that was etched with waves of the cosmic ocean.  

“Jai Hari Vitthala”, the maid sung in a musical tone to grab the attention of priests, busy applying sandalwood paste on the torso of the deity to cool him during the hot deccan summer.  A young priest turned, looked and came immediately to receive the offering from Vasantasena.  As he came out, he bumped the doors of the inner-sanctum, making them sing. Sandalwood doors of the inner sanctum were carved as an open lattice with stepped mandala design.  The open fretwork work was decorated with gilded silver bells.  Everytime the doors moved, they sang with a tinkling of 108 bells.

The maid removed the cloth cover from her plate and presented lotus garlands to the priest.  “Am I taking both garlands?” the priest asked.  “Just the long one.” Vasantsena replied with a respectful namaskar.  The young priest unwound the lotus garland from the large Bidari-ware plate and presented it to the high-priest.  Carefully adjusting it, the priests placed it so as to frame the glowing yellow deity in a circle of pink.  Admiring and bowing reverentially to Shri Vitthala, Vasantsena turned left and stepped in to the inner pradakshina marg around the inner sanctum.  Closed and lit only by lamps placed in niches, the pradakshina marg was painted with murals of kings & queens of Vijayanagar, their gurus and ancient sages, offering prayers to the divine for all eternity.  

Finishing her circumbulation, Vasantsena bowed to Vitthala. “Last week’s dance in the Kalyan Mandap was very inspirational.  I was moved by your interpretation of Purandar Das’s verses.” The young priest complemented Vasantsena as he returned her plate of garlands.   “You are most kind.” Vasantsena said with a smile.  “I am but God’s instrument in all this.” “I am looking forward to your interpretation of ‘Parijata Haran.’” The young man continued. “Whatever God inspires me to do, I will carry out for sure.” Vasantsena replied humbly. A discreate cough from the head priest reminded the young man he was still on duty.  Suitably chastised, he returned to assist in the inner sanctum.

As Vasantsena and her maid came out of the inner temple area, a slack jawed pilgrim coughed involuntarily as his wife’s elbow jabbed him in the ribcage. Turning left, the pair left by the northern entrance of the Jagmohan to go and pay their respects at the Devi Temple. Recently enlarged by KrishnaDev Raya, the original shrine of the Panchayatan style layout was now fronted by a brand-new hall.  Square pillars decorated with auspicious signs and strings of pearl torans, sprouted floral motifs as they met the roof above.  Mandap’s large lotus motif on the ceiling was composed of myriad mini lotus motifs.  Offering a lotus garland to Rukshmani Devi, Vasantsena made a mental note of the colours and pattern of her sari.  Like her lord and husband, Devi also stood with her hands on her hips, greeting her devotees with a sweet smile.

Leaving by the northern Gopuram, the ladies entered a short avenue connecting the outer and inner perimeter walls.  Between the two walls, there were several areas reserved for cooking, storing and serving the divine masters of the temple.  Just before coming to the outer northern gate, the ladies passed through a side door that led them a courtyard reserved for the musicians and dancers of the divine couple.  Singers were already practicing their scales and exercising their vocal cords under a covered veranda.  Greeting them with a namaskar, the ladies passed through a thatched doorway to arrive at a collection of rooms around a courtyard supplied with a well.  The maid quickly pulled up a couple of pails of water. Vastantsena bathed and changed into a fresh sari.  Vasantsena made sure the colour and design of her dress did not match or clash with what Rukshmani Devi was wearing today.  It’s never a good idea to be seen to be copying or competing with the presiding goddess.  Just as she finished dressing, other ladies entered the courtyard.  Greeting everyone excitedly, they too bathed quickly and changed into sombre white saris with red and gold borders.  

The ladies came out and joined the musicians to listen to the bhajans and verses they were planning to sing tonight.  They practiced and perfected their hand and body movements to match the pitch and pace of the singers.  Being in synch makes the nada-seva and nrutya-seva a perfect dance-drama, worthy of being offered to the Gods.  An elderly matron soon joined them, supervising and correcting them as needed. As the sun dipped below the western wall, the ladies applied makeup, wove flowers in their hair and put on jewellery for the performance tonight.  Vasantsena stood transformed.  Her silk saree, flawless makeup, glittering jewels, well-groomed hair with jasmin and kadamb flowers made her look like an apsara incarnate.

At the appointed hour, four torch bearers came to fetch and take them to the temple.  The group formed a curious rectangle with the torch bearers at the corners.  The matron carried the wooden block and stick used to keep time for the dancers.  Four novices formed a square around Vasantsena and behind them the musicians formed up in a square of their own.  Cymbals rang out to measure their pace as they left the courtyard.  The matron and the novices swayed like she-elephants while Vasantsena glided like a swan.  Eight guards accompanied them from beyond the inner gate and conveyed them with great pomp and ceremony to the Ranga-Mandapam on the southern side of the main shrine.

Lit with countless lamps and decorated with garlands, the Ranga-Mandapam resembled the celestial court of Indra.  Uttsav Murtis of Shri Vitthala and Rukshmani Devi were already presiding in the inner part of the hall, serenaded by sages singing sacred verses from the scriptures. Resplendent in gem studded jewels, they were weighed down by countless fragrant garlands, artistically arranged around them.  A golden ‘Parijata’ tree, dripping with flowers made of gems, framed the Uttsav murties of Shri Vitthala and his beloved consort from behind.  

 Dancers of the divine court waited patiently outside the hall to be summoned to entertain the deities.  Musicians entered by the side porch and took up positions near the musical pillars.  Each one stood by a pillar carved with the instrument they were playing.  The singers and the matron sat to the left of the deities so they had clear eye contact with the dancers when they were performing.  The Ranga Mandapam was crowded with pilgrims.  Guards kept the flow of pilgrims moving along the central axis of the hall.  Many devotes were sitting and waiting amongst the colonnades to witness the evetning’s nrutya seva (dance as a sacred offering).  They sung hymns and chanted ‘Jai Jai Vitthala, Jai Hari Vitthala’ as they waited.  

As the prayers ended, the high priest signalled to the musicians.  Cymbals rang out and the dancers ascended the stairs in rhythm with a measured gait.  Flowers held in cupped hands, the devdasis of the divine court glided effortlessly between the tall painted pillars of the Ranga Mandapam.  The cymbals ceased to ring as they arrived at the large open space in front of the deities.  Assuming the armandi pose, the dancers held their pose while the invocation mantras were sung.  As the matron started to strike the wooden box, the novices came forward to offer their flowers to the Gods.  Musicians struck the musical pillars to start the preamble of the main piece.  The pillars resounded with music of their chosen instrument, astounding the pilgrims who had gathered in the hall.  Vasantsena performed an elaborate walk around the central dance area before approaching the divine throne and offering her flowers at the feet of Shri Vitthala and Rukshmani Devi.

Almost as soon as she had finished, she rushed backwards, eyes flaring, hands extended as if gripping Vishnu’s Sarang bow!  Novice dancers scattered, flailing, falling, fearful for their lives.  Musicians and the singers chimed in to set the mood of ‘Parijata Haran’.  Novice dancers scattered in all direction as Shri Kurshna defeated the army of demon Narakasur and brought celestial treasures back to Amaravati.  Assuming different roles, the five dancers mesmerised the crowded hall with their wonderful artistry.  Haughty wife of Indra refused to share the flower from the heavenly gardens with Satyabhama, one of Shri Krushna’s wives and Shri Krushna punished the Devas by taking away the Parijata tree.  Just as Vasantsena turned to strike the mighty elephant of Indra with 11 trunks, she stood frozen.  Everyone’s eyes strained to see what had suddenly arrested the flow of the story.

A group of devotees had come in the Rang Mandap and caught the attention of Vasantsena.  Conscious that they had disturbed the dance, a handsome young brahmin stepped forward, and said softly, “I am sorry to have broken your concentration.  Please continue with the Natya-seva.” Vasantsena offered her namaskar to the tall dark scholar and signalled him to come forward and offer his namaskar to the deities.   “I am sorry to have broken your concentration. Please continue with the Natya-seva.” (Ranga bhanga na krutam.)  The brahmin reiterated his apology in a clear resonant voice. “Ranga sabha is blessed to have an acharya of your stature in its midst.  Please come sit near the deities.” Vasantsena insisted. “Thank you, but I am not sure if I deserve such an honour.” The young man said humbly. “When our emperor Krishnadev Raya himself honours you as ‘Akhand Bhumandalacharya’, this is the least we can do.” Vasantsena replied sweetly. “Your debate to establish Suddhadvait philosophy was most interesting.  I am not sure if I agree with you about Maya, but I agree wholeheartedly about Brahman being present everywhere in the universe.” Vasantsena engaged the visitor and demonstrated she knew him and about his recent victory during the month long debate on which philosophy was the best interpretation of the Vedas. “You are most kind.” Blushed the young man.

Having recognised the young man as the recently celebrated scholar of astounding intelligence, the high priest came forward to welcome the 23 year old Vallabhacharya and his family.  With all honours due to a visiting dignitary, they were prevailed upon him to come forward and offer his respects to the deities.  Vasantsena accompanied the high priest in being the perfect hosts on behalf of the temple.  After offering namaskar, flowers, fruits and sari to the deities, Shri Vallabh offered a red velvet purse his wife placed in his hands.  “Here are some gold coins I would like to offer for making Shri Vitthala’s anklets.”  Shri Vallabha said to the high priest.   “I had heard about your generosity.  You gave away thousands of gold coins, given to you by the emperor, to the assembled scholars after your victory.” High priest responded.  “Today I have the honour of seeing your generous spirit in person.”

Priests made space for Shri Vallabh, his wife, mother and uncle’s family to sit at the right of the deity.  Vasantsena bowed to the deities, Shri Vallabh, priests and pilgrims before returning to her dance.

Defeating the Deva-sena, Vasantsena placed the uprooted imaginary Parijata on the back of a novice pretending to be the Garuda.  Flying to Dwarika, Shri Krushna pointed out different cities to Satyabhama, including Vijayanagar.  Shri Krushna planted the tree in Satyabhama’s garden, but its flowers fell in Rukshmani’s garden.  With a flourish of a floral shower on the deities, Vasantsena completed her dance and bowed before the deities.

Everyone held their breath as the dancers regrouped to offer their final prayers. Shouts of ‘Jai ho’ and ‘Vitthala’ rang out in the Ranga Mandapam to congratulate the musicians, singers and dancers.  Priests stood up as palanquin bearers lifted the deities and conveyed them to their bedchamber in a stately procession.  Vasantsena accompanied the priests, torch bearers and deities to their bed chamber. Some devotes followed them, singing and dancing to delight the deities.    

A set of priests greeted the procession at the divine bedchamber.  As they divine couple dressed for the night, Vasantsena sang an enchanting love song.  Everyone felt the calm mood course through their hearts as the song filled the night air.  After the final darshan of the night, pilgrims and priests dispersed, leaving the temple and its residents to rest in peace.  Vasantsena and her companions changed their clothes and jewels before heading home.  Guards secured the various gates in and around the temple as the full moon showered its cool rays upon the divine enclosure of the Vijay Vitthala Temple.  Vasantsena and her friends walked through the deserted market street, past the pushkarni pond to their houses.

[septembersung]

It’s been a long time since I’ve talked about how I came to the Traditional mass, so since the topic is on anyway: The long and short of it is the TLM was instrumental in my conversion and I wouldn’t be Catholic without it. All my words fall short, but I would dearly love to be able to tell the world with any kind of accuracy why it is so incredible, and why the world needs it.

I was baptized as a toddler and attended a typical tiny backwoods Novus Ordo parish for most of my childhood. There were maybe six kids, lots of elderly, a couple parents, and two or three high schoolers. There I learned such insightful theology as, there’s not really any good reason for women not to be priests. I did, however, have the benefit of reading the Bible a lot more thoroughly than was typical - even if I didn’t have anyone to explain it to me. On the verge of my teenage years we moved and our new parish was bigger, though with still (proportionally) tiny youth engagement. Our religious ed teachers were well-meaning but had no idea what they were talking about. Their idea of a retreat was to sit in total darkness and listen to sappy music. I quit going to mass, got confirmed, and continued not going to mass. But, praise God, I went to an orthodox Catholic college. There was a lot of Catholic Lite culture in the air, which I avoided studiously, correctly identifying it as a quasi-Protestant emotion-fest - the sugar-high version of what my high school parish was trying to instill in us. But my theology professors were the real deal. For the first time there were people who could tell me what the content of the faith was, show me its history, actually answer questions, and identify and shoot down wrongheaded lines of inquiry. It was a revelation. I promptly spent a solid year and a half studying interreligious dialogue - entering the study of truth by the back door, as it were. At the end of that, having run up against the un-negotiable “stumbling block” of Christ, whose claim to be Truth and have given it in fullness to his Church cannot be watered down or explained away, I gave up, signed on as a theology major, and got down to the business of figuring just what this “arrogant” Church had to say for herself. I was still not going to mass. My saving graces - and I mean grace literally - were a fear and awe of the Eucharist, and an emotional devotion to Our Lady.

By my senior year, I was, personally, six kinds of a wreck (which is a whole other story) but also convinced that if Catholicism wasn’t true, nothing was - whether or not I could learn to live it. Into that latent conviction, a total unwillingness to deal with its looming consequences for me, and my generally wrecky life entered a new boyfriend, stage right: he was very smart, very handsome, very stubborn, and a convert. I knew within weeks that we were destined for each other. (Spoiler alert: we got married a year and a half later.) Our arguments about politics, culture, and religion shook walls. We were both wrong, in different ways, and helped make each other more right. That Holy Week, he asked me go to the Traditional Latin Triduum and Easter Vigil. I reluctantly agreed. It could no longer be put off: I had finally come to a reckoning with the Person behind all the theology. I got my sorry butt to confession, the start of a long and painful ongoing process, and we went.

I didn’t like it.

But I was also not happy - and never had been - with the NO. 

Fast forward: We were engaged and in grad school - in different states, but within driving distance. I was the only one with a working vehicle, so I was the one who traveled. It was very important to us that we prioritize seeing each other face to face during our engagement, so we sacrificed a lot of time and money to make it happen regularly. Being apart was very hard on our relationship. One Saturday night when I wasn’t visiting, he told me he’d found a new church to check out tomorrow, he’s excited to visit it, and can’t wait to tell me about it. 

I waited. all. day. All day. It was late, after dinner time, when I finally heard back from him. Turns out it’s way in the middle of nowhere service is spotty, and he stayed from the morning mass all the way through dinner. He was excited about the great group of people, the hospitable priest who hosted regular come-as-you-are, quasi-potluck Sunday dinners at the rectory - and the priest offered the Latin Mass. 

Thus began my love affair with the usus antiquor. He went every Sunday, and I went as often as I visited. I started going to the monthly low mass at my own local church. He bought me a missal, and I learned how to use it. I started comparing the old and the new rite, both reflectively and analytically. I started reading about the changes and went down all the rabbit holes regarding Vatican II. (I’d studied Vatican II in college, but it was strictly the texts. Looking back, I see that the professor very carefully walked a fine line of subject matter that allowed him to neuter the “spirit of Vatican II!” version of history without actually getting into what happened before and after the Council. But I digress.) I had to engage, body and soul and mind, with the mass, and my own faith - not just an intellectual study anymore, or something to be endured because that’s just what Catholics on Sunday, I was confronted with the foundational questions: What’s the point of the mass? Why, why any of it? It was a humbling process, a spiritual crucible. All at once I wasn’t just a disembodied intellect asking probing questions, but a soul face-to-face with her Creator, Judge, and Redeemer, applying theology to my own life: what do I owe to God? how do I fulfill that obligation? Where do I encounter Him? What is being asked of me? And miracle of miracles, I had this wonderful community to help me as I went through this process.

Fast forward a number of years: that little church is where we got married, in the old rite, and where our first child was baptized, also in the old rite. Since then we’ve moved twice and had more children, but wherever we go, travel, or plan to move, we go to the TLM. It’s the solid foundation of our family life. Our kids are growing up inundated with beauty, reverence, and a sense of the sacred. We’re very lucky; in our current city, the TLM community has the use of a beautiful church and a rotation of pastors, one of whom also runs the most successful and reverent parish in the city, who offer mass for us every Sunday, some weekdays (at various locations), and most holy days. (And for Holy Week, as a church can have only one holy week and not two in different rites, we are able to make a pilgrimage, as it were, to an FSSP church.)

The ancient rite opened up the presence and person of Christ for me in a way that nothing else, certainly not the NO mass, ever had. I finally understood the point and purpose of the liturgy, and therefore of the whole Christian life. I had to check my pride and my assumptions and my self-satisfaction at the door and be broken open in a brand new way. I had to take Christ on His terms, or not at all. The old rite embodies the truth of the Catholic faith - it lives them, and for the person who embraces them, makes that person to live them. It’s not an add-on to our lives, it doesn’t fit in neatly with the rest of our modern existence. It makes itself the foundation and center of everything, because it is the dwelling place of Christ, and we are meant and made to dwell with Him. 

The old mass and everything that goes with it, all the things that were cut out of the new order when it was invented, the prayers and the obligations and the seasonal markers and the theology, the way of seeing God and ourselves and the Church and the world, is the living tradition of the Catholic faith, our unbroken link to all and everyone that has come before us. In the old calendar, we celebrate feasts on the same days that the great saints of the past did; we sing the same chants and say the same prayers; it’s bigger than we are, and because it’s focused on God, exclusively, and not on ourselves, it heals us and helps us and transforms us in a way that anthropocentric styles of prayer never can. The old life of the Church doesn’t bring God down to our level, but transforms us, raises us up to Him. 

So much of what we take for granted today about the mass, about the faith, so many of the attitudes and assumptions that we have absorbed or been taught, are wrong. Point blank, they are wrong, they are in conflict with what the Church taught for millennia, they are not “of the mind of the Church,” and they have been wreaking havoc on Catholic life for going on a century now. I have made a special study of this history of ideas and their effects over the years, and it is ongoing. The more I learn, the harder I find it to summarize to others just what’s wrong with the way contemporary Catholicism is practiced, and the more profoundly grateful I am that I was brought - by human love - into the fulness of Catholic tradition. Now that I have the benefit of nearly five years of almost exclusive TLM attendance, I wonder how I ever lived without it. I have very strong feelings about it; it’s the driving force behind my desire to evangelize because now I understand what I’m inviting people to share. Not a set of intellectual propositions, not a feeling, but a way of life that boldly and unapologetically has Christ enthroned at its center - a tangible way to see and worship that involves the whole person, body and soul, that makes demands on us. I wish I could bring all of my friends, Catholic and non-Catholic, to a glorious high mass at a beautiful church with all the smells and bells. Because the glory of Christ is there, and His glory is ours.

I went through some tags to find some things I’ve written before: Latin in mass, “NO vs TLM feels”, why I came and stayed for the TLM, book recs, Latin and the vernacular.

If you want to understand more about the TLM, the new books I’m recommending to everyone are Kwasniewski’s Noble Beauty, Transcendent Holiness and Fr. Jackson’s Nothing Superfluous.

Dark Angels: Creation. Part 14: Ambush. Sean and Adrian

Sean: We’d made the rounds of the reaper corps without incident so far. Reading the emotions of 4000 reapers was exhausting, and, even when you can manipulate space and time like reapers do to walk the different planes, it had taken longer than I liked. It gave too much opportunity for news of our ‘casual tour of the troops’ to arouse suspicion. But Adrian and I had finally finished weeding through the ranks. Our estimates had been close. Of that 4,000 there were at 3,757 that were either totally appalled by The Horseman’s alliance with Lucifer and the subsequent open season he’d allowed on reapers or remembered Sin and wanted him in charge. The attack on Bryn when she’d been delivering a soul to Hell had pushed a lot of them over the edge of disgruntlement into outright rebellion. They’d just needed a leader and now they had him. The remaining 243 had been shiftier than we’d thought. Their emotions towards what had been happening were either ambivalent or self-serving. We’d corral those with the 1,000 we hadn’t even bothered to talk to. We’d had enough exposure to them to know they had no loyalties to anyone but themselves and we hadn’t wanted to risk them getting suspicious about our motives for checking in. Unfortunately, of the 3,757 only 200 were weapons-capable enough to join us at the Callanish Stones for this battle. They were all in, but the fifth column of thugs and murderers The Horseman had established in the reaper corps numbered 500. As we’d expected, we were going to be outnumbered. The ones who were going to make up our troops had been directed to the Brazil safe house in pairs so Zav could tattoo his protection runes on their skin and Bryn could give them the crystal protection stones she was charming. Both would be out of sight, the tats their groin and the crystals wound into a necklace that would lay beneath a shirt. These would protect our squads against the trap Bryn would lay for the enemy reapers, but, again, we had to be careful they weren’t noticed by anyone we hadn’t taken into confidence. We’d given instructions to the entire core to react to a code word sent mentally. Adrian, with his morbid sense of humor, had picked “Masada” as the alert. Leave it to him to select a siege in which every man, woman, and child had died. He’d said it would help them remember the stakes of this game. We win or everyone dies. And maybe he’s right. When I send the all out to the entire corps, the fighters will meet us at Callanish. The loyalists who aren’t battle capable will disperse to various safe locations. Most will shelter with the gods who were already alarmed by what they saw happening with The Horseman. Danu had opened Tir nan Og to us, Freya had persuaded Odin it was in their best interests to appear to throw a banquet for those reapers who frequently made stops in Valhalla in order to shelter them, Bastet had persuaded Anubis to offer hospitality to a select group, and Kali had planned a festival that could be initiated at a moment’s notice that would serve as subterfuge for those she was fond of. None of these activities were out of the ordinary. The honorable among us were popular with most gods. While the majority of souls were delivered to the Elysian Fields for rest and reflection before rebirth, when one was slated for ascension we took it to the paradise it was scheduled to go to and usually we’re invited to break bread with them or stay for a few days of rest. These activities will all appear normal to the Horseman if we lose. There were other destinations. Heaven we couldn’t trust with our people because of the white god’s long standing beef with Sin. Some, like Nirvana, assumed they were beyond the reach of “petty” conflicts. Much like humanity, their deities assumed conflicts between good and evil had nothing to do with them. They’d ignore what was happening until the barbarian hordes were on their doorsteps. There were other gods and goddesses but through the eon’s belief systems changed and, though still on the plane of ascension with their followers, they rarely got new ones. Maybe it would have been safer for our people to hide in their realms if things went south but hiding in plain sight gives the other reapers an out if we fail. They can claim they had no knowledge and were just enjoying hospitality where it had been offered. And besides, the deities who offered all had a special ‘friendship’ with Sin. Oh, nothing current and none had ever been exclusive, but they all had a loyalty to him that assured us they wouldn’t betray our people. Now all that was left for Adrian and I to do was to find a place to corral the 1,243 reapers that we couldn’t trust not to sell us out. Their instructions had been different. When they heard “Masada” they were to mass at a central location for further direction and that location would be revealed only to that group moments after the call. Adrian had found a remote limestone cavern in New Mexico buried in the mountains. It was huge, big as an American football field with ceilings twice as high. I was standing on top of a huge boulder in the center of it now, looking it over. Throwing out my arms, I shout… “YO, ADRIAN!” Adrian: *My back to Sean, I’m focused on carving the Enochian runes into the walls that will trap the potential turncoats when I hear my name echoing off the ceiling. Turning back to him, I sigh in exasperation.* If you’re done channeling your inner Rocky, you could help me finish the last section. *grumbling a little* Painting would have been easier. Sean: Grinning at Adrian – he was such a serious guy that teasing him was easy— I jump down from the boulder to land lightly on the sandy floor. “But you’re doing such a good job! And anyway, I finished mine already.” Letting the teasing fade, I add “Painting them in anything but blood is too superficial for this job. And the blood would have had to been sentient mortal. I dunno about you bud, but I’m not up for draining a couple of dozen mortals to get enough to cover this place. Not my gig. Yours either. And even then, if one of the trapped figured it out and scraped off some the runes with a knife, they’d be out. The limestone is ancient and has strength. Short of blasting caps or an industrial sander, it’ll hold. The symbols Zav had given us were intricate, but my history as a human Druid had played in my favor. I’d learned to carve Ogham runes into stone by the time I was 6. These were more complicated but I’d got the hang of working with the stone quicker than Adrian had. Still, the sooner we got done, the sooner I could get back to @ChosenDarkened. “How about I do the seal on the center boulder? Zav said the symbols didn’t have to be linear and the seal would activate all of them from any location. Seems to me the center is the best spot for the energy to hit all of them at once and it gives you a 360 view while they’re coming in. Kind of like the center monolith in a stone circle.” Adrian: *Ok, so he’s right about carving versus blood. Blood sacrifice was never my way as a human anyway, and if he’d been part of it in his Druidic past he never talked about it. I suspect that after seeing his mother die as a sacrifice it was a ritual he would have avoided like the plague. The only blood we’d really need was when it came time to bring the warding online.* You do that. I’m almost done here. You’re better with the stone than I am anyway and that one especially has to be exact. The power of the others overlaps but that one stands alone. *The seal was what would trap the reapers in the cavern. We wouldn’t trigger the runes that would hold them there until they were in the cavern. When I slammed my bloodied hand against the seal it would activate and energize all the other symbols. The only way out was with the medallion Zav had given the five of us. No one could get in or out. Not reapers, demons or angels. Not even mortals. The magick of this barrier was old and powerful and without the right key, the lock wouldn’t open from either side. And only the five of us had the right key.* So, *turning back to my task and changing the subject* how is life with a mate in it? You’ve spent more nights at her place than you have at the safe house the last few weeks. Sean: I mist back up to the top of the boulder I’d been standing on to grab my chisel. It was a good strategic viewpoint, even if it was defensively given reaper abilities. But if all went as planned he wouldn’t need to defend himself. All I need to do is carve the seal where I stand and when all have arrived all Adrian will have to do is kneel down, slam his hand against it and demat out. It will take bare seconds. No time for anyone to communicate outside the cavern, no time to mount an attack. They should all be in place within 20 seconds of having the location. There might be a few who are late or won’t heed the call, but we’d deal with them later. The aim was to keep as many of that 1,243 as possible from joining the fight on the wrong side. Sin could decide what to do with them later. “You should know. You’ve been standing guard on the front porch when I do. And by the way, if I haven’t thanked you for that yet, thank you. Life’s really good,” kneeling to begin carving the seal with the sharp edged instrument. “She’s amazing. Brave, beautiful, talented…I didn’t think I had a soulmate. I never found one as a human and now I guess I know why. Vampires only get one life. I had to wait for her soul to become mortal. We’re gonna make it official when this is over, you know? According to her traditions, so you guys are gonna be involved. I just wish I could give her everything she needs. My blood isn’t going to be able to sustain her and she wants kids.” Pausing and looking up for a moment, then returning to my work. “You know how that whole ‘no life from death’ thing is. I can’t do either for her. But she doesn’t care. She’s so positive, certain we can overcome anything.” Smiling to myself, “She’s more important to me than my own life. I’d die for her.” Suddenly my head shoots up as the sound of a pair of hands clapping echoes through the chamber. Demons. Four of them. Gods damn it! Zav had told us he’d been being surveilled in Miami. But he’d had a permanent location in the tattoo shop. We’d just gotten here. How the fuck did they find us? I freeze in place, making no sudden moves as I assess the situation. Their mojo doesn’t work on reapers, but before he’d killed them, the demons had told Zav they had a weapons supplier who could get them angel blades. And if I’m not mistaken, that’s what they have on them right now. ‘My, my, what a profession of love. Tell me, what will it cost you when we kill her?’ Adrian: *I’d just finished the last rune when I heard them. The boulder Sean stood on was blocking them from my line of sight but that meant I was blocked from theirs too. As none had chosen to trace in on my side of the rock I’m guessing it means they think Sean’s alone. On a tight mental wavelength I reach out to Sean. ‘Stay cool brother. They want you to react. Don’t. I’ll mist behind them.’ Sean: My jaw sets in stone and eyes go glacial blue as I stare into the depthless black eyes of the speaker. “How did you find us?” It comes out a growl but I stay frozen, crouched to the ground, unwilling to give away any advantage until we have a plan. The demon sneers at me and answers, ‘You’ve been asking a lot of questions lately. And some people just /will/ talk, won’t they? One talked to some of the Horseman’s “special” boys, and those boys talked to us. So,’ he smiles mockingly at me,’ we decided to follow your trail. You disappeared sometimes, though. Apparently there’s some kind of field around your little piece of tail’s mountain that keeps demons from getting in. It doesn’t keep reapers out, though. And they let us know all about your cozy little love nest. My blood freezes in my veins and cold fear for Layla runs through me. They know where she is. Without changing expression I send back to Adrian ‘Cool is my middle name. But these fuckers are going to die in the next five minutes. Will my blood activate the trap? We can’t let them get out.’ Adrian: *sending back curtly ‘Yes. Zav just said fresh blood. This one’s not keyed to either of us.’* Sean: A muscle in my neck flexes as I channel back ‘Hold position until I activate it. Then get behind them. No holds barred brother.’ My hand holding the chisel is still against the rock, too low for them to see from their vantage point. High ground’s always a good thing in a battle. In an instant I drop the chisel and grab the dagger that’s always in my belt. Slashing my hand I slam it against the barely finished seal, hoping I’d done enough to get it to activate. Blue light flares around the perimeter walls of the cage, bringing the carved Enochian symbols to blazing life. Adrian demats and reforms behind them as I spring to my feet. With a war cry, he engages as I throw the dagger at one just behind the leader. I have the pleasure of seeing the dagger strike home as I leap to the ground, the lightening flashing through the demon’s body and behind his eyes as he dies. “ONE!” Adrian: *My longsword is in my hands as I reform and heed Sean’s admonition. ‘No holds barred’ he’d said and I took that to mean no rules. I’m barely fully formed behind a demon when I swing the blade in a mighty two-handed slash. In that moment I thank Apollo for the attention he once paid my grandmother. His strength flows through me, my heritage from him, as the blade smoothly separates the demon’s head from his body.* TWO! *The other runs at me with his shorter, lighter blade, foolishly confident that the angel steel makes up for the difference in reach. It does not. The longsword is a much longer blade than that I’d wielded as a human, but in the Middle Ages I’d discovered its heft and longer grip suited my physical strength better than the traditional Greek sword. While humans generally had wielded it two-handed due to its weight, my heritage gave me the strength to use it in one hand if I desired, even to be able to use it as a spear. Which is how I use it now. Easily, I avoid the attempt to skewer me, stepping aside, then turn and throw it at the demon’s back. It makes a satisfying “thunk” as it runs him through embeds between the shoulder blades.* THREE! Sean: The leader of the bunch jerks his head to follow the dagger as it flies by him just in time to see not only the one I’d thrown it at die, but Adrian’s victim fall as well. He snarls as he turns back just in time to see me land in a crouch a few feet in front of him and charges me with the angel blade now in his hand. Without time to rise, I roll to the side and come up on my feet as he blows by me. My katana materializes in my good hand and I lift it to block as he turns and leaps at me. The clang of metal rings out and, knowing even bespelled carbon steel won’t hold out long against angel metallurgy if that keeps up, I shove the demon back and thrust my weapon at him, slicing his side as he dances away. He hisses at me as blood drips and swings his sword at me, forcing me to parry with the blade raised in front of my body. As the metal rings out again, I flick my wrist, circling my blade against his and forcing it towards his thumb. As the angel short sword flies from his grasp I step into him and sweep my leg under his, hitting him with my free forearm and forcing him to his back. Falling on him with my knee to his chest and the edge of my blade at his throat, I want nothing so much as to shove it through his miserable throat for his threat to my female, but I need information first. “Talk.” My voice is a low deep growl I barely recognize, “Who talked to the Horseman’s crew? Who followed me female’s home?” He laughs at me, his breath wheezing from the pressure of my knee on his chest. ‘Why should I tell you? I’ll smoke out of this meatsuit before you can shove that sticker home.’ Subtly I increase the pressure of the sharp edge of my katana against is throat, a fine trickle of blood beginning. On some level I feel Adrian’s presence as he walks towards me, stopping just a few feet from the demon’s head. I can sense his anger and his worry. But it’s all background noise now. Layla’s name is a drumbeat in my head, beating in time with my heart. “I don’t think so.” Jerking my head at the glowing emblems on the wall. “You’re not going anywhere even if you get out. So let’s try again. Who talked?” His upper lip curls into a sneer, his arrogance keeping his yap running. But his words… ‘Why don’t you go find out reaper? They know I’m keeping you busy so they should be having a little fun with her about now.’ My brain freezes, but my body doesn’t. My right arm swiftly presses and slashes the demon’s throat, covering my chest and neck with arterial spurt, blood spattering my face as I look up at Adrian and force a whisper through nearly paralyzed vocal cords. “Layla.” And I’m gone. #TBC

Apple Releases iOS 14, iPadOS 14 Beta Versions, What’s New for You?

iPhone users have spent years using the same interface without much complaining. “Not much complaining” because the features that users have been asking for were long ago, added to devices running on iOS’ foremost competitor, Android. But better late than never. Apple is finally coming out with features that Android users have been privy to for years now. And as a sneak-peek before the actual commercial launch this fall, Apple users can download the beta version of the new iOS for testing it out on their devices.

But be aware, the beta version is only a test-run and could contain significant bugs that haven’t been rectified yet. This is the purpose of doling out the software to the public before its official commercial release. So that Apple enthusiasts, who are willing to take the risk, can identify the problems that the new software will pose. The official Apple website advises users who are going for the beta versions to back up their devices before joining the Apple Beta Software Program and accessing the non-bug-free versions of the software. Apple also recommends using them on secondary, non-business dependent devices. If you are ready to take on the risks, you can volunteer with the Apple Beta Software Program to send feedback to the tech-giant.

How to get on the Apple Beta Software Program?

You can sign up for the program by going on Apple’s official website. You’ll be asked to enter your Apple ID after which you can download the Beta version which you are looking for. The beta version comes pre-installed with a feedback application that you can use to report bugs and suggest improvements. Once the commercial version is out, your beta version is automatically updated.

At the WWDC 2020, which was presented virtually for the first time due to the global pandemic, announced three new software coming to Apple devices, iOS 14, iPadOS 14 and WatchOS 7. Here are the top features we could find for you to gush over before the software releases this fall:

iOS 14

iPhones are universally famous for being user-friendly in the manner that you don’t have to curse your phone every other day for hanging on you. Not saying that happens with users of other platforms all the time, but it does not occur with iPhone users almost all of the time. Thus, people don’t generally complain about those aspects of the operating system. But, the lack of newness and creativity in later versions, started to bug people as a range of software updates released by the giant-tech company did not upgrade user experience much.

Not this time, though!

Apple plans to resolve all the major issues people have complained about over the last many years. They’ve got hold of the main problems.

The Home-Screen

The home screen is one of the major areas which has received a significant update. The home screen is getting a new look through widgets and the App Drawer.

Widgets

The home-screen has been left almost untouched since the first version of the iPhone came out. It came across as a consistency thing at first, but with no changes whatsoever, the idea just became mundane to users. But finally, Apple is listening to the people and giving the home-screen a complete makeover. You can add widgets now which if you are an Android user, you’ll chuckle at, as Android has been providing that feature for like a hundred years now. But Apple users are always defending their brand by saying whatever they bring out, and it is brought out with perfection. So, I guess they were perfecting it until now.

All Apps under one roof

They’ve also added a one-stop screen for all your apps. Similar to the Google App Drawer, but you do not have to create the folders yourself, all your apps are sorted out into different categories automatically. A right swipe on your home-screen takes you to a page where you can view all your apps under one roof segregated into different folders such as social media, gaming, among others.

Picture-In-Picture

This is a cool new (old for android users) feature that lets you use the rest of the apps on your phone while face-timing or watching a video. It minimizes one screen to allow you to access the rest of the space for doing something else. Apple has also changed the way we get incoming calls; now it won’t cover the entire screen. Instead, the notification of an incoming call will be shown on the top in a small single line.

Set default third-party browser and mail application

Instead of being stuck with Apple’s mail and browser options, you can now default a third-party browser like Chrome or Firefox on your iPhone. This is a feature that will be appreciated among users who are working since the previous version did not let you default Gmail as your mail application.

Light-based notifications for Camera use

This is one of those features that Apple sneakily put in but holds real-life cache. If you’re mic or camera is running in the background, used by an app, you will be notified with colored light on the top right side of your screen. Privacy has become an essential issue with smartphone users. And this little tweak will help us feel more secure while using our phones. A green dot will indicate camera use, while an orange dot will show that your mic is on.

Tap that back

In an Android-inspired feature, you can tap the back of your iPhone, to perform different actions. Go to Setting> Accessibility> Touch> Back Tap and turn it on, and now you can use it to make your phone do different things. Customize actions as per your convenience like, opening the control panel, camera, take screenshots or select anything you want instant access to on your phone. There are tap, double-tap and even triple-tap which initiate shortcuts and other actions.

Sound Recognition

This is an Apple Exclusive, and even Android hasn’t brought out something like this. Surely, there must be an app that does this already. But now your iPhone will be able to detect different alerting sounds and notify you. For instance, if there’s a fire or smoke near you, or if you are afraid or allergic to certain common animals like cats and dogs you can switch on the alert and your phone will notify you whenever you’re around any of those things.

iPadOS 14

The iPadOS has been equipped with all the new features dolled out for the iPhone. Plus, there are some specific additions like ‘scribble’ which will be able to recognize the handwriting on your iPad, written using Apple Pencil. You can treat the text just like other text on other apps, cut, copy, paste, as you wish. Another feature will be a more intuitive search bar that will be able to search all over, the apps, web, and even documents.

RankModo Review Discount And Huge Bonus

RankModo Evaluation - Are you looking for even more knowleadge concerning RankModo? Please go through my honest testimonial regarding it before selecting, to assess the weaknesses and also staminas of it. Can it be worth your time and effort as well as cash?

Introducing RankModo

YouTube Search Engine Optimization: How to Rank Your Videos Throughout (Part 5)

2. Recognize the issue

Let me touch on search intent one more time. If a person look for your search phrase, what do they intend to find out? Your response to this question will certainly often be their issue.

For our "Search Engine Optimization blunders" video clip, I would think they would like to know what these so-called "errors" are as well as see if they're affecting their web site traffic.

Yet anyone might glance the video clip and locate these "errors," in 20 secs flat, which doesn't assist our reason for high-retention videos.

So I clearly say:

95% of pages are having a hard time to obtain any type of meaningful search web traffic that can actually influence their business.

Translation: no traffic = no business.

3. Proposal

Last yet definitely not the very least, you wish to provide a reason to remain. In this specific RankModo introduction, I claimed:

So what can you do get more natural traffic and be in the leading 5% of all web pages across the entire web? You're about to learn in this video clip.

Translation: watch this video if you wish to obtain website traffic. That wouldn't intend to obtain website traffic?

This allows the customers understand that they're in the appropriate area that can possibly fix a problem they're dealing with. Possibly "being in the top 5% of the entire internet" component was a little tacky, yet it's true (according to our data). And it worked.

From an interest perspective, the results have actually been quite great. Within two weeks, we have actually had over 100,000 watch mins, 28,700 views, and over 1,400 clients from that video clip alone.

Follow the SPLIT formula, and you won't be laying gravestones for your videos.

c) Ask customers to comment, like, and subscribe

Just how do you get even more clients, likes, and also remarks? Besides producing material that reverberates with your target market ...

You ask.

Each of these job to increase interaction for your video clip. Typically, I ask for it at the end because I wish to provide worth initially. As well as if a person has actually stayed for that long, they'll likely desire more of what they saw.

Yet the majority of viewers aren't mosting likely to see your entire video. So you can request involvement in the past without sounding clingy.

As an example, a few of our videos will speak about tangential subjects (e.g., affiliate RankModo advertising).

So I'll claim something like, "I will not dig any even more right into associate marketing, yet leave a remark if you wish to see even more on this subject in a future video clip."

Not only can concerns like these offer you much more understanding into the audience you're talking to, yet it ought to assist improve engagement metrics.

As you constantly deliver excellent value to your clients, they'll leave comments similar to this:

d) Tactically modify your video clips

If you've seen any of our video clips, you can say that just as much worth could be delivered in a simple screencast.

However that's much from what we exercise.

So why not discuss a display? Or why not chat passionately concerning SEO with the occasional f‑bomb to highlight my point?

Individuals have an attention deficit disorder. Screencasts alone are uninteresting. I'll go as far as claiming that speaking heads can be boring as well unless you're a very appealing audio speaker.

I am not.

So a lot of it comes down modifying your YouTube video clips suitably. This is what our final job looks like for among our video clips.

Non-european countries in the IOL - more wanted please

This post originates from our official blog, for full post go here: http://ift.tt/2vOJIPy

Countries of the IOL 2017

It is well-known that most of the delegations that partake in the IOL are from Europe. I'd like to give a little background to this, and also invite more non-european delegations in. If you can help, be in touch.  This is something I've thought a lot about before, and it was recently brought to the forefront of my mind by the funny blog post "Relief As Registration Closes Before Any African Countries Sign Up" by the satire blog Linguistics Olympiad News Network (yes, we're apparently famous enough to spawn satire and memes).

After the announcement of the countries participating in IOL in Dublin, there was relief visible on the faces of the IOL Problem Committee, who had been waiting in dread at the possibility of a team from Africa going to the competition.

 [...]

 In an LNNO exclusive, IOL media correspondent Hedvig Skirgård told us about the last minute panic when Simona Klemenčič opened her email account to see a registration request from a linguistics professor at the University of Dar es Salaam. She told us, “Having consulted with the problem committee who had written three out of the five problems on languages from Tanzania, we regrettably realised that the deadline for registration happened to fall just prior to the email. We wish Tanzania all the best for Prague 2018.” 

The blog post was very funny, as someone who has worked with the IOL for quite some time now I found it unusually spot-on. It clearly plays on the fact that since Africa as a continent and Papua New Guinea as a country contains a VAST amount of linguistic diversity, languages from these areas of the world make for great material for linguistic puzzles. I fully understand that the message was not that we would exclude participants from these countries on any other basis than "to make it easier for our Problem Committee and Jury". Now, I'll get to why that isn't true later, but first some background to the bias.

Map from Worldmapper where the countries size have been scaled to represent the relative number of languages within that country compared to the rest of the world. © Copyright Sasi Group (University of Sheffield) and Mark Newman (University of Michigan).

This satirical blog post did make me think of the more pertinent and serious issue of dominance of European countries. There are reasons for this bias, they're mainly historical, but also in part economical. The contest started in Russia and the first international contests were dominated by slavic countries (IOL history is here). The contest later grew to include first non-slavic countries and then non-european countries. The IOL does not run each contest, it's run by local organizers. This means that it is significantly harder for developing countries and countries lacking the necessary infrastructure. Countries and territories of the IOL Nowadays, we don't speak of "countries" of the IOL as much as "countries and territories", in order to accurately represent participating delegations like those from Anglo- and Francophone Canada respectively and Isle of Man. Here is a list of all 43 countries and territories that have partaken at least once:  Canada Francophone, France, Israel, Lithuania, Norway, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, Vietnam, Finland, Greece, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Turkey, Germany, Isle of Man, Japan, Spain, Taiwan, Brazil, China, Hungary, Singapore, Canada Anglophone, Czech Republic, Romania, Australia, India, Ireland, UK, Republic of Korea, Slovenia, Serbia, Sweden, USA, Poland , Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Netherlands and Russia. Of those, 30 have an accredited contest. Meaning, there's a contest in that country or territory that the IOL-board has deemed lives up to our criteria and can receive lower registration fees and participate for more than 2 years. The criteria for being accredited are:

be a contest that features problems about linguistics or a closely related field

have a working website that is not excluded from search engine results

be open to all students up to secondary level in the country (i.e not restricted to certain schools or programmes)

display clear information about registration and competing well in advance

have the problem set in the language of the majority of the population or the language of education

have details on how to contact the contest organizers on the website

IOL does not run each contest - the economical problem In order to understand this situation, you also need to understand that the IOL does not directly run each and every national or territory-wide contest. There are separate organisations who do that, they create their own problems and seek their own funding. In order to do this, there needs to be serious enthusiasm and involvement from a group of people and backing from either a non-profit organisation, universities or the ministry of education. On the problem-creating-front, it's worth noting that several national/territory-contest collaborate with each other and share problems. Contrary to what you might think, we actually often receive messages from people in non-european countries who are not yet part of IOL, but who want to join. They contact us here and we try and help as best we can. There's been messages from Uganda, Egypt, Nigeria, Guatemala, Nepal, Kenya, Malaysia and more countries. We then tell them about what would be needed in order to start up a contest, and most of the time they can't meet those requirements and we lose contact. This is sad, and now you know. In particular, the obstacle is often finding the funds to organise a contest that is open too all secondary school students of the country/territory (not just one school) and paying the air fares etc for the international contest. The economical bit isn't the only factor though, there are countries that partake every year that have lower GDP than some who have never partaken (cough, Italy, cough). There is also the matter of there being hard working volunteers and the infrastructure (support from ministry of education, companies or non-profits). The Maths Olympiad can, so why can't we? The International Mathematical Olympiad covers 100 countries and is in some ways similar to the IOL (though much older). My hope is that we will also become as large. The obstacles we're facing are partly economical, but there's also the fact that linguistics isn't taught as a basic subject in schools. We won't let this deter us though, we'll keep aiming high and spreading knowledge about languages, linguistics and our olympiad! Would the Problem Committee (PC) really prefer that fewer non-european countries join? Of course not, I take that as a given. First let's talk about the languages the problems are in, not about. The PC has in the past shown great talent in scouting out language experts to help with translation of problem sets for the participants (all without the knowledge of the national/territory team leaders or organisers). I have no doubt they can take anything we throw at them. Note that the languages of the IOL need to be dominant or official in the country of the contest, so we are not selecting from all 7,000+ languages of the world. For those who might not know: the problem committee does not work with a base version of the problem in English and then translates into the others. They work with a version in a between language Ivan chooses to call "solverese". If you want to read more about multilingual editing of the IOL problems, we propose that you read this paper written by the Ivan:

Derzhanski, Ivan (2013) Multilingual Editing of Linguistic Problems, In Proceedings of the Fourth Workshop on Teaching NLP and CL August 2013 Sofia, Bulgaria Association for Computational Linguistics 27–34 http://ift.tt/1uRZrJr [in English]

Now to the issue of the language the problems are about, rather than in. It is true that the PC seeks to make problems about languages that the contestants are unlikely to know. (The closest we've come in the past to the issue of participants knowing the language of the problem must have been when Australia competed and there was a problem in Vietnamese. That turned out alright in the end, phew!) It should also be said that many of the national/territory contest organisers do probe contestants to disclose what languages they know, and should there be concern the board and/or PC is alerted. Furthermore, most languages are spoken by few people. This is a sad fact, but necessary to relate. This makes it easier to pick a language the contestants do not know, even if they're from language dense areas. Here's a diagram showing the population per language, based on the 19th edition of Ethnologue.

Speakers per language Infogram

Here is a table from Ethnologue that tries to explain this as well, a bit niftier.

Table from Ethnologue summarising the number of speakers per language.

For further background, of the 7,000+ languages in the world there are grammars or grammar sketches of approximately 3,500 of them (Glottolog). Participants of the IOL are not likely to know all of these, even if participants from Africa or PNG would make the scope smaller there's still plenty left. If we then add to that that most grammars of languages of the world are written in languages the PC knows, that makes it even "easier" for them. Not that this is an easy task, but you get my drift.

Languages, coloured by which language the grammar of it is in. By Harald Hammarström, based on Glottolog.org. Read more here.

Help us spread the contest to more places

Finally, we do want there to be linguistic olympiads in more places than there currently are. If you think you can lend a hand with that, do let us know. Perhaps you're a local linguist who would like to make problems? An employee at Google/Apple/Microsoft who could persuade the company to allocate some funds for a local contest? A keen student or teacher who'd like to get together a group and set something up? Or a  meming former contestant who would like to give even more back?

My, how the tables have turned!

Now it's not usually like me to comment on political matters through the medium of blogging. As far as I'm concerned I don't know nearly enough about politics to comment on such a complicated subject publicly. Football. That's me, I'm the football guy. I don't know much about anything else in the world, but football is the one thing I'm confident I know a lot about and I'm not afraid to voice my opinion on it.

I've been trying to stave off this blog for a while. When Jeremy Corbyn was attacked by his own party, I said to myself, "no Dean, you don't know as much as you think you do about this. Even if the party should be behind their leader regardless, should recognise his mandate and are only doing this because they fear his values." When Theresa May called a snap election, I said to myself, "no Dean, you don't know enough about this. Even though she said repeatedly over the past 9 months that this wouldn't happen. No, this isn't your field." When the media relentlessly attack Corbyn as a terrorist sympathiser and a pie in the sky idealist, I thought, "no Dean, you don't know half as much as you think you do on this subject. Even though peace talks have to start somewhere and these right wing papers are clearly desperate to sling mud because they're shit scared of this left wing hero." But today is results day...and I have been tipped over the edge.

Let's start this story 11 months and a few weeks ago. We all woke up on Friday 23rd June 2016 to the news that 52% of the British public had chosen to leave the European Union. The country was practically plunged into political chaos. David Cameron was stood outside Downing Street at 7:30 a.m giving his resignation speech and there was massive calls for the leader of the opposition to do the same, and I hadn't even put my bills on yet! While a race for number 10 kicked off within the Conservative party, Jeremy Corbyn resisted calls for his head. While Michael Gove convinced Boris Johnson not stand so he could take his place, Jeremy Corbyn stood firm. While Andrea Leadsom tried hard to discredit every other candidate, only serving to demonise herself within the party, Jeremy Corbyn refused to bow. While Theresa May was restructuring her cabinet and coining shitty phrases like "Brexit means Brexit" (whatever the fuck that even means), Jeremy Corbyn was unshakeable. People were even putting themselves forward for the man's job while he was in the position. Angela Eagle launched a leadership campaign which nobody of note turned up to.

Eventually a leadership election was called. What a huge wake-up call that was for the Labour party. Owen Smith was the man who would stand against the enigmatic current leader. Corbyn was right to shout about his mandate. He won the leadership vote with a landslide 61.8%, not only keeping his mandate but increasing it. Unlike the Tory leadership campaign however, there was no mudslinging. Yes both leaders put cases for their own leadership forward and how it differed from their opponents. But neither demonised the other (cough, cough Andre Leadsom, cough). When Corbyn won, Owen Smith didn't demand a recount or sulk in a corner of the house of commons. He stood down from his seat in Pontypridd with grace and wished Corbyn well. I could be chatting shit here and, if you're reading this and you know I am, then please do tell me so.

So Corbyn went on with his 61.8% mandate. Nobody within the Labour party could now question him. He had his doubters but he was immoveable. The media continued portray him as a man on borrowed time though. In his first shadow cabinet meeting after his re-election, he was made to look awkward and uneasy among his cabinet members. When you know half of them don't want you there, it's easy to see why that would be. But he carried on anyway because he believed in his values and that he could do right for the country.

Fast forward 8 months to the end of April this year. Jeremy Corbyn is still being laughed at by the press and they continually attempt to paint him as a poor leader, despite no evidence of this. Theresa May in the meantime has flip flopped on major issues without mention in the press but somehow has a 22 point lead on most opinion polls. She had said many times that she would NOT call a snap election. But her ego was getting the better of her. It was clearly irking her that she was having to stand in the House of Commons week after week and defend the fact that she was a remainer, and that she wasn't even elected by the public to be Prime Minister. "How could she possibly go to Brussels and get us a good deal?" the opposition would cry. She broke on 18th April 2017.

She did her usual. She spoke sternly, like this had been the plan all along. She wheeled out her "strong and stable leadership" line for the first time, although this, another u-turn on a major decision, was starting to prove people that she was anything but. Behind the scenes though, she knew Labour was weak in the eyes of the public. Murdoch and the lads had done their job. They'd made Corbyn look piss poor to the tune of a 22 point deficit in the opinion polls. She knew now was the time to strike. After 8 months trying to show what she could do in the job and thinking she could fool people by talking about Brexit at any given opportunity, she knew now was the time to make her move. All she had to do was keep doing exactly that; banging on about Brexit and scaring the public into thinking Corbyn would be bullied in Brussels.

It started off well for Theresa May. She was going steadily along. She wasn't putting a foot wrong. Corbyn likewise. He was just as steady. The media still vilified him but there was nothing new there. Then the manifesto's came out and things started to fall apart for the Prime Minster.

No free school meals. No triple lock for pensions. More cuts to public services. The return of fox hunting. More importantly, NO costing of anything within her manifesto. Was she insane? This screamed arrogance. The Tories were basically saying "vote us in and only then will we tell you how we plan to pay for everything (SPOILER ALERT: It's austerity.)" Then there was the Dementia tax. The Tories put forward that pensioners would have to pay for their own social care if they had assets worth over £100,000 and that included their house. It was a fucking scandal. Policy after policy made her seem more inhuman. Dementia tax - cruel. Scrapping free school meals - cruel. Slashing winter fuel allowance for pensioners - cruel. She had clearly targeted the most vulnerable in society and had done so with no shame. She was starting to show her true colours.

Labour on the other hand had come up with exactly the opposite. Jeremy Corbyn and his team had put together a manifesto which, on the face of it, had stood up for the working man. They planned to scrap tuition fees and zero hours contracts. They wanted to introduce a £10 minimum wage and instant union rights for all workers. In my opinion though, the greatest testament to Corbyns leadership which was reflected in his manifesto was Labours plan to keep Trident. Corbyn has been against Trident all of his professional life. He has campaigned for multi-lateral disarmament throughout his political career. But he kept it in because it was a party policy. OK, he has said that he will still campaign for multi-lateral disarmament. But, in my eyes at least, this typifies the man. He kept it, even though he doesn't believe in it, for the good of the party. It's a great show of socialist leadership. Looking at the manifesto's, it was 1-0 to Labour.  Again, I don't enough about this shit so I'm probably chatting wham. If I am, then please let me know.

Then the debates started and things went from bad to worse for Mrs May. She wouldn't show up. At first neither leader of the big two parties showed up. They left it to the minor parties to fight it out. Only the leaders of UKIP, Plaid Cymru, SNP and the Greens would fight this one out. You didn't miss much if you didn't watch it. The highlight was UKIP leader Paul Nuttall referring to Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood as Natalie, not once but twice. It was turning into car crash T.V. Questions were asked of leaders who seemed unlikely to have any influence over the big decisions after 8th June.

On Monday 29th May came the second leadership debate and this was one was VIP only. It was exclusive to Labour and Conservative, and this time both major party leaders did turn up. Jeremy Corbyn defended his policies and came across as believable. You could tell he believed in his manifesto and it reflected his core values. He faced tough questions regarding his affairs with the IRA and Hamas in the past, but maintained that peace talks had to start somewhere. When up against Jeremy Paxman, he was strong and stood up to the miserly old journalist. Paxman interrupted Corbyn 56 times in 10 minutes during the interview. Keep that in mind. Theresa May was not as convincing. She brought every question back to Brexit and continually skirted around issues. In her interview with Paxman she was interrupted only 6 times. Fair media treatment? Hardly.

Just two days later came the another debate. This time all the parties were represented by their respective leaders - all apart from Conservative that is. Theresa May had obviously either shit out of turning up or didn't see the need to when she sent her Home Secretary, Amber Rudd. Paul Nuttall was painted as a racist. Star of the show was Green Party joint leader Caroline Lucas. She was passionate about issues raised and was not afraid to criticise and condemn on the big issues. Corbyn again presented and defended his policies stoically. Amber Rudd was OK, but she wasn't Theresa May. Her remark of "judge us on our record" was met with outright laughter by the audience. Her christening of the other parties as a "coalition of chaos" would come back to haunt her.

Two days following this came the final debate consisting of the leaders from the two major parties. Theresa May again played 6 degrees of Brexit. Her partys' biggest scandal to date, the handling of disability and PIP assessments, was put to her head on by a weeping audience member. She declared it unacceptable, but you get a feeling nothing will change. People being assessed for disability allowance and PIP payments will continue to be treated inhumanely and have professionals from irrelevant fields assessing their conditions. Corbyn faced questions regarding his proposed increase in corporation tax and scrapping of zero hours contracts, like they were awful things. Again he put on a great show.

These debates were played out to the backdrop of two major terrorist attacks. The Manchester Arena bombing on 23rd May killed 22 people and temporarily brought the campaign to a halt. Three days later, Jeremy Corbyn took a huge risk in using the atrocity to criticise Britains foreign policy. It could have backfired and, for a few hours at least, his politicising of the incident was condemned by the opposition. But the public agreed. They knew he was right and pretty soon the government were defending their foreign policy.

When 8 people were killed on London Bridge 5 days before the election, Theresa May was really in trouble. How were these people being allowed to travel to the middle east and admit to being Jihadis on T.V, yet still roam our streets? How had the Prime Minister thought it acceptable to cut the numbers of Police officers on our streets during her time as Home Secretary, when our threat level had been severe for so long? Why had she publicised the downgrading of the threat level after the Manchester attack? Brexit, an issue that many thought would be front and centre of this election, was taking a back seat to national security.

Media coverage of Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour party continued to be nothing short of scandalous. When Diane Abbot became confused in an interview with Nick Ferrari on LBC regarding how a Labour government planned to pay for 30,000 extra police officers, she was rightly crucified for an embarrassing gaffe. When Michael Gove did same thing surrounding a similar issue, it was barely reported. When Jeremy Corbyn couldn't remember the figure the Labour party had decided to spend on childcare costs for working parents, he was ridiculed to his face by presenter Emma Barnett. When Sir Michael Fallon was given a supposed Corbyn quote criticising Britains foreign policy on Channel 4 news by Krishnan Guru-Murthy and proceeded to tear it apart, only to be told it was actually a Boris Johnson quote - the Tory incumbent Foreign Secretary no less - it was not mentioned again after 24 hours. Jeremy Corbyn has been labelled a terrorist sympathiser and apologist by a red rag (which shall remain nameless but I'm sure everyone will get onto who I'm referring to) and the Daily Mail, for his dealings with Hamas, the IRA and members of Al Muhajiroun turning up to a public rally he was speaking at in 2002. Theresa May has received minor criticism in the media for her arms dealings with Saudi Arabia, a know ISIS supporting state. If it wasn't so serious it would be laughable. As it is, it's just a fucking joke.

Nobody truly believed a Labour victory to be realistic. It was such a massive difference to make up in the opinion polls. 22 points- it was unprecedented. So when the exit poll predicted a hung parliament, nobody could quite believe it. The Labour party had actually done it. They had taken Tory seats and could be on the verge of something incredible. When you look back though, it's easy to see why this has happened. Between Jeremy Corbyn becoming leader in 2015 and the present day, Labour has grown by 300,000 members. On polling day, 75% of 18-25 year olds turned out to vote. Theresa May was holding press conferences at specially held events with VIP guests and specifically picked members of the public. Jeremy Corbyn was turning up at concerts and rallies that resembled music festivals unannounced. Not only had he generated a huge amount of momentum, he had convinced the next generation of voters that politics was relevant to your future and you could make a difference.

The result was a hung parliament but the Tories still held a majority of seats. Needing just 8 seats to take power, Theresa May did something which would embarrass her party and demolish her credibility. She struck a deal with the DUP.

For those who don't know much about the Democratic Unionist Party, let me fill you in. The DUP are the largest party in Northern Ireland, holding 10 parliamentary seats. In a nutshell they are against equal rights for LGBT, gay marriage, a woman's right to abortion and have been Euro-sceptic since God was a kid. They campaigned against any peace talks in Northern Ireland up until the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. They were UKIP before UKIP. On top of that, and this is the worst thing of all about the Prime Ministers deal with the devil, the DUP have known links to terrorist acts. The DUP founders - Ian Paisley and Peter Robinson - would go on to also found the Ulster Resistance, a parliamentary loyalist association. They were renowned for stealing £300,000 from the Bank of Northern Ireland to fund arms deals. Members were frequently arrested for carrying guns, grenades and RPG's.

Theresa May's agreement with the DUP should be the final nail in her coffin. Her shameless attack on Corbyn last week as a terrorist sympathiser who could not ensure the security of the country, now looks hypocritical at best. This deal proves she is ready to sell her soul to keep hold of power. Her credibility within her own party is shot to pieces. It shows how truly out of touch she is on every level. Even this morning, in her speech to announce the deal, she failed to acknowledge the turnout of young voters and just how close the election was. Either she hasn't got a clue what's going on on the streets of Great Britain or she clearly doesn't give a fuck about you or me, and she will carry on doing what she is doing regardless of public opinion. Her arrogance throughout this campaign was characterised by her initially calling the election and not showing up to debates. In fact she didn't debate at all. She fielded questions from a studio audience and Jeremy Paxman, before swiftly pissing off when Jeremy Corbyn came onto the stage. She did not feel the need to defend her inhumane policies, instead choosing to bring every question fielded to her back to Brexit. By the way, Brexit meant fuck all by the end of this election in the light of two horrendous terror attacks. She again refused to address an issue staring her in the face after these attacks in the form of policing numbers. Her position is surely untenable. After all, who wants to live under a Prime Minister who is so out of touch with the electorate and has taken her party further to the right than it has ever been?

In contrast, Jeremy Corbyn has had a complete 180 degree turn in his popularity. This time last year, he was vilified by the media and his own party. A public coup was in operation to remove him from leadership. But he stood strong. He backed himself. He believed in his values. He didn't force them on his party, although he has taken it further to the left than it has been. Yes, there were issues along the way. But his humanistic values have shone through. He has shown the best of socialism and that it can work in modern day politics. He has inspired a generation of millenials who had previously saw voting as a waste of time on a subject they knew nothing about, to get out there and make a difference. Jeremy Corbyn has changed the political landscape for the better in this country, in my opinion.

Then again, I could be wrong...
