In Delico's Nursery, vampires have this ability called Initiative through their bites. They basically can command you to do anything. From what I understand, only someone stronger can break/overpower that command.

So imagine Lilia Vanrouge, a bat fae, who has this very specific ability that only Maleficia knew about. It was kept a secret from even the senate, so he wouldn't be forced to use his ability for nefarious reasons.

Imagine Lilia with Malleus in his arms, the fae prince on the brink of death after his overblot, Lilia having no choice but to use this initiative on him before help arrives. Biting him, commanding him to live, "Do not fall here Malleus, you must live." That is the only reason Malleus lives. He almost lost Malleus once when he was in his egg; he won't allow that to happen again. Lilia would rather be spurned for this ability than lose Malleus to death. He won’t let him join the stars yet. Not while Lilia lives and breathes.

Imagine Lilia using the initiative on Silver. When Silver is a baby and the sleeping curse starts manifesting. Imagine Lilia, in a moment of weakness, biting Silver. His command? "Do not fall to this curse Silver, never fall to your curse." Imagine that being the reason why Silver hadn't fully fallen into slumber until it finally broke at the end of Book 7 because of his family?

Lilia Vanrouge with this ability, someone who could bring down kingdoms and gain power and status, chose not too. Because those things never mattered to him, only being with those he loves is his greatest treasure.

There is something deliciously funny about AI getting replaced by AI.

tl;dr: China yeeted a cheaper, faster, less environmental impact making, open source LLM model onto the market and US AI companies lost nearly 600 billions in value since yesterday.

Silicone Valley is having a meltdown.

And ChatGTP just lost its job to AI~.

The funniest homophobia I ever experienced was a Mormon lady at my work telling me she would accept me being gay because we have to get along as coworkers but I really should consider not being gay because gay people have sex like animals (especially gay men) and she just couldn't stop thinking about it and how gross we are. She started really getting distressed, near tears, and saying 'I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop." over and over and miming some kind of sex acts with her hands and I was like ?????? What is happening???? One of the other Mormon ladies had to come over and pat her on the back and help her sit down to help her calm down and our boss gave her the afternoon off due to being too upset to work.

“girl dinner” “girl math” “i’m just a girl” okay but I am an adult I am six feet tall I am loud as fuck I take up space I am smart and capable. So are you. Why would we want to laugh at jokes where the punchline is that women aren’t? Why would we want to make jokes about being small and childish and incapable? Who do you think laughs at those jokes the loudest?

It didn’t hit me until recently that people genuinely think Kamala Harris was a police officer because of all the people who call her a cop online.

Like I think maybe it’s important people should know she was a prosecutor. She was once a district attorney and later an attorney general for the state of California. And we can discuss how related that is to police work and how tied she is to the carceral system etc etc (but for fairness would have to include her record of pushing for lowering incarceration rates through programs helping former prisoners + her office refusing to jail folks for low level weed offense). But she was never a police officer. Like people should get that clear. Kamala Harris was never a police officer. She was a district attorney. She was never a police officer.
