#Do Not Sperate written on their box

[tunanoodlesoup]

started playing lifegen again sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh

i so do love them... murder duo... me sending them out on patrols all by themsleves just to watch them singlehandedly take out everything ever with no sweat

[woso-lover234]

Can you do a fic where r and kyra get into this huge argument calling themselves names etc abd throwing a few punchs at each other until the other mitlidas had to come and sperate both of them and they both ignore each other until the team forces them to talk it out and kyra would be like no she doesn't want to talk to miss so called prefect" because she overheard others talking about how r was way mature than her and other stuff

Matildas + kcc x (platonic) reader- fights

you and Kyra were like two peas in a pod. always together with Charli, mini and harper causing trouble together and you stopping her from taking pranks too far so she doesn't get into trouble. Your Matildas and Arsenal teammates often joke that even though your the younger of the pair of you were more mature which wouldn't be a lie but it worked for the two of you with you're similar yet not clashing personalities. She made your life more interesting and you made sure she didn't get into too much trouble as she didn't think fully before she did stuff when you did. You knew of the jokes shared and honestly you were fine with them, they were harmless anyways.

"What is your problem?" You asked sitting next to Kyra at breakfast as she had been ignoring you the whole morning but she just stood up with her food tray and storming out of the room without a second glance. All of your team mates eyes were on you now with questioning looks which you just shrugged with confusion and anger written all over your face before you continued eating.

Before training the two or you ran into each other again which was bound to happen since you guys were room mates.

"Watch it" Kyra said shoving past you to get to the bathroom as you looked at her in shock before shoving her. You knew it was childish but you were sick of her shit and weren't gonna take it anymore. She turned around after she caught her balance and glared at you as you crossed your arms over your chest and glared back

"Seriously what is your problem with me today?" You asked raising your hands up before slapping them against your sides in frustration

"if your so much smarter than me then you would know" she shot back and that left you confused but your frustration and anger overpowered that as you said something you will come to regret later

"Well if you worried about the so called people you called your family and not just yourself you would realise I didn't know and that your making a big deal out of nothing" you practically screamed but her demeanour didn't stutter as she still looked at you with venom in her eyes

"Acting as if you didn't know" she scoffed "I'm sorry not everyone has to try be perfect to get people's attention! Just because your parents were hard on you and you had to be fight for their attention doesn't mean you have to outshine everyone else and make everyone look bad just to get over your mummy and daddy issues! She yelled as you stood there. She knew she had hit a nerve with that one as she smirked to herself and you lost it and launched at her. You were pulling her hair as she was trying to shove you off of her but you didn't let go as the two of you rolled around on the floor and bumped into multiple things which caught the attention of wandering Matilda's.

"Get off of me!" Kyra yelled at you as she again tried to shove you off

"No!" You yelled back in her face as she went to push you back but instead ended up hitting you in the face which angered you and caused you to punch her back which then turned into a slight boxing match as the two of you continued to roll around on the floor alternating who was on the bottom and receiving  the punches while the person on top tried to stay there.

Eventually Sam and Steph came in followed by mini, Caitlin, Alanna and charli who separated the two of you. Sam and Caitlin pulled you off of Kyra as you tried to fight out of their grasp as Alanna and macca grabbed Kyra. Once the both of you realized you weren't getting released the both of yous flopped in the designated older girls grip as mini looked between the two of you with a shocked expression and waiting for one of you to talk. You avoided eternally contact not wanting to explain what had happened which mini caught onto

"One of you better start explaining or so help me" she started as neither you or Kyra started or had the intention of talking about what happened. "By the end of dinner tonight this better be sorted because there is a game this weekend and I'm not letting this get in the way of yours and your team mates performances and if it isn't I will make sure you's don't play" mini finished as Steph and Sam nodded along in agreement while both you and Kyra nodded before being let go as you bolted to the door to go have your own space to go over what had just happened.

You and Kyra avoided each other for the rest of the day until dinner where Steph and Sam forced you two to sit at a table together with each other and the captain and co captain and by then you could see the big bruise coming in on her cheek as you smiled to yourself slightly but quickly wiped it off your face when you saw mini giving you a 'really?' look from the table next to you.

"Ok Kyra explain" Sam said looking to Kyra expectantly

"No I don't want to speak to miss perfect" Kyra scoffed as your rolled your eyes

"What does that even mean?" You asked over the fight and just wanting to be joking with your best friend again

"It means I'm sick of being second best to you! Everyone thinks so!" She finally made eye contact with you and Steph and Sam held guilty looks

"You're not second best to me we're equal" you said with a sincere eye which made Kyra feel bad considering she could barely see the other one due to swelling and a forming bruise.

"Nah I'm obviously the better fighter" she said in a joking voice as you laughed loudly which caught the attention of most of the girls in the dining room

"You guys all good then?" Caitlin asked from another table as you looked at her and nodded as she now held a shocked expression "Damn y/n/n that's quite the shiner you got there" she said as you laughed slightly and rolled your eye before turning back to Kyra who held a guilty face but before she could talk Sam and Steph had beaten her to it

"We're really sorry guys" Sam said as Steph nodded

"This is all our fault" Steph said looking down "me and Sam were talking in the locker room before breakfast today about the under 21's young player of the year nominations and we're saying how y/n/n would be perfect for it she was we didn't mean for it to sound different" she said as you and Myra shared a look before reassuring them it was ok and that if you guys had communicated better none of this probably wouldn't of happened which caused all of you to laugh

"You guys are like siblings at this point. Ignoring each other when something has happened, fist fights and making up like nothing happened" mini said as she walked past to put her dinner plate away and ruffle both yours and Kyra's hair up which you both shook off which again made everyone laughed at your same reaction "but that can't happen again" she said sternly as you both nodded "at least not to that extent, siblings are allowed to fight sometimes" she added with a wink before walking away.

"I'm sorry about your eye" Kyra said later that night as you both got ready for bed

"It's ok I'm sorry about your cheek" you said as you both laughed again and hugged it out before heading to bed.

You couldn't play the game that week due to your eye but neither could Kyra who had insisted that she shouldn't play considering it was her fault you were off. The team ended up winning 3-0 at the first game against Uzbekistan as you prepared for the second game which you made sure you would be able to play.

an easier to read format of my latest post

(the first half, sperated from the second half by a line that you’ll see as you read is written by @mads-does-stuff, the original creator of the concept of Elysium and Inferno and the cherri bomb to my angel dust. show her some love)

—

Castiel paced around the small courtyard. His hand trembled as it moved to graze the hilt of the hidden dagger that was covered by his ivory cloak. The prince took a deep, shaking breath. “This is your duty, Castiel…” he murmured to himself. “It’s… for the greater good.” Castiel sighed, staring blankly at the glossy marble floors before he snapped back to reality, hearing the opening of a portal. “Hey!” an upbeat voice called from behind Castiel. The Prince of Angels turned his head, and his golden eyes widened. Azazel took Castiel’s breath away— quite literally. Castiel was so shocked that he couldn’t breathe. Inferno’s Crown Prince looked nearly the opposite of Castiel. He had rich, deep purple skin that was washed with ebony freckles. Azazel had ink-black sclera and silver irises. His hair was dark and messy, thrown into a short ponytail. Two curling horns stuck out of his unkempt hair. He had pointed, pierced ears and a pair of glasses with a crack in the right lens. He wore a cheap-looking suit with a poorly tied black knot with red stripes across it. Just the sight of Azazel would be enough to put any Angel into a coma. But something about his laughter-filled eyes, serrated teeth in a mischevious grin, and the array of freckles across his face was… quite enamoring to Castiel. “Hello?” Azazel says, leaning forward. He grinned, displaying his sharp serrated teeth. “You alright, great almighty Angel Prince?” he says jokingly. “You look startled. Have I scared you with my devilishly good looks?” he says sarcastically, laughing. “I—“ Castiel’s golden gaze shifted to the ground. He furrowed his brow. “No, you simply surprised me. That is all.” he says quietly, his hand slowly drifting to where the bejeweled dagger was hidden, under his cloak.

“If you say so,” Azazel held Castiel’s hand flirtily: “Your Majesty..” The second Azazel smirked up at him, Castiel felt like he was going to explode. “So uhm.. Shall we get going?” Castiel stuttered, messing up his hair nervously as he pulled his hand away. “Nah, we gotta wait for one more..” Azazel smirks, crossing his arms and motioning to the portal. Azazel snarled. “What do you mean one more..-“ Castiel looked over at the demonic portal and immediately shifted back out of intimidation.

—

Castiel only knew what it was like to see fire because his mother had described it to him after a meeting in Inferno. His mother had talked quite poorly about that meeting, and it only made him even more scared of the realm. The demon had eyes the color of blood, robin hood green hair tied into a ponytail. Their figure was slender, skin scaly and pale. Dozens of rows of sharp teeth were visible, and they had a serpent tail.

“AYY!!” Azazel immediately fist bumped the demon. “About time, what took ya so long?” The demon grimaced. “Had some things to deal with, so to speak.” They said, cracking their kunckles. Castiel gulped; demons really were vile. The snake chuckled at his disturbed face, pulling out a box. Castiel was confused, til she pulled out a rolled up piece of paper. “Little help?” Az nodded, touching the tip before she put it to her mouth. Oh. A cigarette. “Uhm..” Castiel stuttered, wings fluttering.

“Oh. Yeah. , this is Angel Boy. Angel Boy, this is my assistant, the best manager and friend I could ask for-“ “Ssserpentine.” Azazel gasped. “You cut me off!” Amos let out a huff of cigar smoke, which blew right into Castiel’s face and grinned. “You took too long.” Azazel scoffed, playfully punching her in the ribs. “This is why we’re best friends, girl. How about get this guy to Inferno yeah? Maybe get a latte. Trust me you’ll LOVE the lattes here..” Azazel stepped through the portal, chattering on and on about the demon cuisine as his tail swished. As Castiel stepped through the portal, he could have sworn 2 serpent-like red eyes were staring at him. Specifically, under his ivory colored cloak.

Hello Miss May! I love reading your stories and as someone just starting out in fic wirting, I wanted to ask how you stay so organized? Do you set yourself deadlines and how do you have enough time to post weekely? Thank you ❤️🥰

Hello, lovely anon! This is a very difficult question to answer, I think, because it is so important to keep in mind that everybody has their own writing process that can shift depending on a lot of outside circumstances.

Personally, I like having a consistent upload schedule because it makes me feel calmer and more in control. I started this year with posting a schedule for the next three months and so far it has really worked for me. Please also keep in mind that I am currently working on my thesis so I do not have a full time job or full time school which leaves me with more time and I also have a whole vault of old blog stories to go back to so I can post consistently.

But getting back to the question of deadlines and how I plan: Of course, you know the posting schedule, but just to be able to explain it better, this is what it currently looks like:

When I start planning the three months ahead, I first look for dates when I am not able to post on AO3 (be it events, holidays, etc.) and these are then days where I will schedule a repost of a old story that already is on AO3. Then, I look at stuff I started that is already/almost finished and I put that in there. I also try to keep updates of series sperated by oneshot work because (1) I need to get through smut prompts and (2) they usually need less time to be finished. Something I also try to keep in mind is series that I want to finish (like Midnight Special) and I try to focus my work there.

The little bottom box you can see is full of all the pieces I already started/plan on starting and when I am planning ahead, I try to gauge which piece might strike my inspiration and also where I am in terms of series progress.

I usually only post a schedule when I know for a fact that I can get the pieces finished in time. For examply, on the current schedule you can see that all the crossed out titles are things that are finished an edited already which means that only MS14 and the Breeding Smut Prompt need to be written. This helps me feel calmer because I know I still have 2 months to finish them.

Basically, the only deadlines I have are the 3 months installements in which I finish writing whatever I want and then I try to find some organisation for it.

In the end, this is the system that works best for me personally and I hope that I can keep it going through the current year. But what I will say is that it is definitely not for everyone and especially if you are just starting out, I encourage you to just go with the flow and write and post when you feel like it. This is a hobby, after all ❤️

Yokai Watch Merchandise Translation?

(Masterpost for my Yokai Watch translations can be found here)

Well it’s not solely merchanside related, as this will probably tie into the actual games in the future.

This might contain spoilers for Yokai Watch 3 depending on your point of view, so be careful.

This is gonna be some translations of some information about this object:

First of all,

Turns out this Item is actually called “覚醒エンマ魔笛“, or “Kakusei Enma BREATH”

Notably the “魔笛” part of it actually would translate to “Demon Flute” or “Magic Flute”, but the furigana say that it is instead read outloud as “ブレス“, which is the english word “Breath” written in katakana.

(If youre not sure what I mean look here:

The part I underlined with red are the furigana. Furigana are used to display the pronounciation of kanji. From what I understand normally they’re used in children’s media and similar stuff to show the pronounciation of kanji that’d be too hard for the target audience to read, but they’re also sometimes used for wordplay, or giving words new fancy pronounciations and the like)

But with it’s name explained, onto what I actually wanted to do:

Took me a while to notice it, but seems some information on this item, more specifically the merchandise version you can buy, can be found on this website.

(Little Note: For me some “do you wanna buy stuff” pop-up appears when I open the site, but you can just close it and stuff, jsyk)

I dont know if this is the only place that has some concrete info, but yeah.

So this is gonna be me translating some info from that website there, though note that I don’t got time to go over all of it, so I might miss some stuff, or just kinda skim over some parts, sorry. And of course, even if it’s gonna be a rather different kind of translation, the usual “rule” to my translations also applies:

“Please keep in mind that I´m a beginner when it comes to japanese, so it’s possible that I make mistakes, too.“

So I’ll just go through the stuff from this site bit by bit.

--

Alright, so the part I put the red around here says something like:

“Awakened Enma’s Dream Link Item Appears!! The Arrival of the Symbol of the King that Unifies All!”

Notes:

The word I translated as “Symbol” can also mean “mark”, “proof”, and the like.

It could also be like “a symbol” and “a king” respectively.

The little white text at the bottom says something about the Yokai Watch Dream being sold seperately, I think.

On the actual page there’s also a button there that takes you right to the buying section.

--

Here we got two parts,

the first block of text talks about Awakened Enma, saying something like this:

“Awakened Enma

One of the 4 legendary God Yōkai that are said to exist. The awakened form of the Great King Enma, having opened his third eye. His previously hidden, true power has been released.”

The next block of text (in the purple box) talks more about the item itself, saying something like this:

“Awakened Enma Breath

The symbol of the king that can only be used by the Enma family, which rules over all yōkai. With its sound, possessing strong Spirit Power, it can subdue yōkai, and only Enma in his awakened state conceals its uncontrollable, overwhelming power.”

Notes:

What I translated as Spirit Power is 妖力, which is the word power (力) with the 妖/Yō from 妖怪/Yōkai added to it, so it could be translated as “Yo-power” or maybe even “Strange Power”, but it’s actually also what the Spirit stat is called in the japanese versions of the games, hence why I went with Spirit Power.

I´m a bit unsure about the phrase I translated as conceals here. In japanese it’s  秘める/himeru, which can translate to to hide, to obscure, or to veil, among other things, but I am unsure if it literally means any of those in this case.

--

Next is a bit where there is a video to watch:

It just kinda shows off Awakened Enma and his Soultimate.

But it also lets us hear what is a bit of the chanting I think you’ll get to hear when putting medals (or certain medals) into this thing when its all Dream Linked.

Though I don’t want to go over what I think this chant says just yet, as it actually gets a bit more of a focus down the line.

--

Next we have a bit that I think is something like “How to play”

Basically it explains that if you push the mouthpiece of the flute, it’ll play a tune, and on the original page, the empty box where my red arrow is pointing actually has a button that let’s you listen to a little sample of the tune.

Though further down the line there is a video where I think you can actually hear the full version, or at least more of it than shown here, but I will go over that when we get to it.

--

Next bit talks about Dream Linking, connecting the main piece of the Yokai Watch Dream with the Enma Breath, and stuff.

It mostly just says like “Dream Link with the DX Yokai Watch Dream!!” and stuff about that Yokai Watch Dream being sold seperately.

The part that’s kinda interesting though is the one where I put my red arrow, because I think it says:

“Awakened Enma Breath becomes its true form...!!”

--

Next bit seems to imply that this “form” after the Dream Link is called “Breath Mode”, and it mentions that with the Dream Link, the tune changes!

Yes, when you click on the button that exists on the real website in the box where my red arrow is pointing, you can hear a sample of how the music changes in this mode.

Though like with before further down the line there is a video where you can actually hear more of it.

--

Next bit, we have that text I underlined in red which says:

“Put in Yōkai Medals while in Breath Mode and summon yōkai!!”

The text in the fuzzy orange bubble seems to talk about putting in Awakened Enma’s Dream Medal as an example, while the smaller white text talks about how that Medal is included with Sukiyaki.

The golden text says something like:

“Awakened Enma’s power is released!!”

And the part where my red arrow points has another button on the actual page. Clicking on it will let you listen to the chant that already appeared in the video above.

I´m not 100% sure but based on another video that comes later, I think it’s the chant that plays when you insert a medal and play the roulette mini-game.

I’m not as good with hearing japanese compared to reading it, but I think the chant says:

“どっちの地獄でおしおきだ 覚醒エンマの言うとおり“

which, I think, translated to something like:

“Which hell will be the punishment? Just as Awakened Enma says“

The latter part may be a reference to an idiom that goes like “Just as god says”, which is basically an “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe“ kind of saying you use when making a random decision, from what I hear.

--

Next part is like, “Furthermore, you can also listen to Awakened Enma’s lines!!” and mentions that he is voiced by Ryōhei Kimura.

The button on the real page where my arrow points once again let’s you listen to an audio sample, but what you can hear there is actually slightly different from what those ominous speech bubbles say.

So first, I will translate what the speech bubbles say, which seems to be something like:

“Now, follow me...”

and

“Numerous beautiful souls, embraced by jet-black darkness...!”

Meanwhile, the audio file first has him say the:

“Now, follow me...”

part, but then adds what I think is something like:

“Follow me without fear! Let’s go together!”

Note:

The “follow me” part in the first line refers to following as in following a leader, and the like. In the second part it’s following like going somewhere together.

--

This next part talks about how you can charge “GOD”  Yōki.

Let me take a quick detour to explain just what Yōki is before anything else here:

“Yōki“ is a term kinda frequently used in the japanese versions of the Yokai Watch games.

It is made up of these Kanji:

妖/Yō (the same Yō as in Yōkai, depending on the context it can mean something like “mysterious” or “bewitching”, among other things),

and 気/Ki, which can mean a lot of things. It is the japanese word for the concept of Qi, and can also be translated as breath, spirit, mood, essence, atmosphere, feelings and many other things depending on the context.

Outside of Yokai Watch, “Yōki” appearently can refer to a ghostly, unearthly or weird feeling, I hear? In Yokai Watch itself it seems to be more like, a Yokai’s Ki or a Yokai-like Ki, as in their energy, feeling, and all that.

In the english versions of the games it seems like it’s usually translated as aura or energy, depending on the context.

With that out of the way, onto what this part actually says

Basically it seems to talk about how when you do a Dream Link with the Yokai Watch Dream, you can put in a Yokai Dream Medal, and hold the button to play the Roulette game. And if you win, you can charge “GOD” Yōki.

(And of course the Yokai Watch Dream is sold sperately)

“Charging” your medals with stuff using the Yokai Watch Dream isn’t a new thing either, I think, but this “GOD” Yōki is new.

--

Here it talks about where you can use this “GOD” Yōki

I didn’t go over every last bit of this, but basically it says that at this place there you can use “GOD” Yōki to power up your yokai, but it doesn’t seem to specify what exactly that means.

--

I have to admit, I barely looked at this part, it just seems to talk about something you can do at some japanese only Gashapon machine, maybe using that “GOD” Yōki, and seems like you can battle Awakened Enma, too.

--

This part just shows off how the product looks, but the description actually has some kinda interesting tidbits:

“It is decorated with a flame-motif which is also the symbol of the Enma family, and the character ‘王’ is engraved on it. A highly detailed model, fitting for the king of yōkai!”

Note:

王 means “King”

--

In contrast, this part seems to just talk about nice music and lights.

--

This part talks about the Previous Great King Enma Dream Medal, which I think comes with the flute?

It also talks about how you´ll be able to get the flute in the game now, using a QR code. It also mentions that its an item only Awakened Enma can use, implying it might be a hold-item.

Then it goes on to talk about how you can get bonus points for some japanese-only thing that I don’t know much about by ordering early? I think?

--

Next is another video, and this is gonna be the last thing on this page I talk about, because the rest just seems to be talking about where and how to buy the product.

It shows off the tune of the flute, and how it changes after the Dream Link, and like I mentioned before, this is the part where you can hear longer versions of the previous samples. Perhaps these are even the full versions?

-

After that it shows what happens when you insert a Medal, and the chant we heard before plays, but its actually a bit longer.

First is the part we know already:

“Which hell will be the punishment? Just as Awakened Enma says“ 

the part that comes after it is something like:

High pitched voice(s): "Are you done?"

Awakened Enma: "Not yet."

High pitched voice(s): "Are you done?"

Awakened Enma: "Enough!

-pause-

Deeper voice: "THAT hell!"

-

And after that it plays a bit of the line that went:

“Numerous beautiful souls, embraced by jet-black darkness...!”

-

And lastly it shows “GOD” Yōki being charged.

--

And that is all I could get from that site right now, I hope any of you enjoyed this like I did!

The Force: A naturalistic approach (Part 3)

Part 3 of my naturalist approach to the Force. While you don't *have* to read them all or in order, I recommend it as each concept builds on the one before it to reach a final conclusion.

This is part of a series of posts to make them easily readable: Part 1: Good & Evil Part 2: The Force as balance >Part 3: The greater Force Part 4: Tying it all together (Rey on Ahch-To) Part 5: Emotion and the human condition (a tangent) Final Thoughts

Part 3: The greater Force

The Jedi believed in aspects of the Force, specifically, the Living Force and the Cosmic Force. The Unifying and Physical Force are both relegated to Legends. As such, I won't speak to them by name. Because they are mirrored in the aforementioned aspects, know they were in my thoughts as I wrote this.

The Living Force was fueled by all living beings and this connected life to the Cosmic Force. The Cosmic Force was the energy that connected the galaxy together, living and non-living matter. It was also what allowed Jedi to transcend death and allowed Force users to perceive the past and future.

Here's where the Jedi rub me wrong, the Cosmic Force isn't about non-living matter. When I quantified life and death I made sure to point out that it was more than that. Stars don't technically die. However, they do change, expand, transform and ultimately fall to entropy, decay, and one day cease to be. Again, consider that the perspective was originally of good and evil. Good and evil don't apply to planets, so you have to classify planets in a different box inside the Force.

I'd like to reclassify the Living Force. In theory it's the most present part of the Force. The thing that connects all living matter. But we've redefined living. If the Force is the mechanism that balance life (beginning) and death (ending), then any entity that has the Force acting on it is therefore alive and existing inside the 'living' aspect of the Force.

Let's use an example. Picture a comet hurtling across the galaxy along a prescribed track. That comet is in the middle of its own life cycle. It is not inherently alive. It is not composed of living matter, but it exists now. It is caught between its own beginning (birth) and ending (death). The Force is acting on it to keep these cosmic forces in balance. Therefore, it is part of the 'living' aspect of the Force despite not being alive.

Beginning and ending in the greater scope of existence are about more than living matter. It is about transition, transformation, forward motion along a wave or around a circle. That is how a star, a nebula, a black hole can still exist in the 'living' part of the Force. It's not alive, but it exists right now. It flows through the Force right now. It has these cosmic juggernauts of life and death pulling at it right now. Only when it meets its end will it cease to have these entities act upon it, will it cease to be in this moment, will it no longer need the Force to balance it against the rest of the cosmos.

The act of being alive is one part of a larger cycle. Think of the sine wave. Up and down. What came before is still connected to what is happening right now and leads to what will be. Life is one tiny point along the wave. A small moment in the bigger picture. Connect to it are all the other things that are currently caught inside their life cycles (even if they're not alive). The Force is acting on them so the Force is connecting all these things in the present.

If you consider that a living creature is only along for the ride in one moment along the wave, that moment being life because it is alive, then it would initially perceive the Force most easily as life, through life, because of life. It would most easily sense other things that were alive first. Then, beyond that it would sense the very alien non-living things that are still connected to the Force in this moment. That is why I believe the Jedi/Sith perceived them differently. Not because they're different, but because sentient creatures perceived something through the lens of their experience. Like good and evil, they put flavor text where it didn't belong.

Now we look at the past and the future. The 'living' moments of the Force are about the cycle of creation, evolution, transition, ending. You could say that the past and future exist outside the cycle and therefore support the premise of a Cosmic Force as separate from a Living Force. I disagree because those cycles overlap. A firefly won't live as long as a human. A human won't live as long as Yoda. Yoda won't live as long as a continent. A continent won't live as its long as a planet. A plant won't live as long as a sun. A sun won't live as long as the whole galaxy. Each of these life cycles overlap creating an infinite connection to one another and therefore keeping the Force connected forward and forward and back and back.

A Force user senses the most immediate moment first. The life present in the moment in which they live. But they can reach further to gain a greater perspective. The past is written and can be sensed along the wave. The future is still pending, but every action in each moment (living or non-living) creates eddies that lead to a finite number of possibilities. Each dependent on the action of not just one, but a myriad of other life cycles that could influence the future. All are connected to the present.

That is why the Living Force isn't separate from the Cosmic Force. First, the Cosmic Force does not encompass the non-living for they too are part of the moment, acted on by the pull of life and death. Even the past and the future are not strictly outside of the pull.

The stratification is a failure on the part of sentient creatures to see beyond the scope of their initial perceptions. The Force is about balancing the beginning and ending of all things, living and non-living. Life (even of the non-living) ties all things to the Force. The Force in turn connects all things back to a single moment in life.

Bottom line:

The Force is one entity connecting all matter, living and non-living. Even the past and future are not sperate from the 'living' aspect of the Force as it exists in each moment along the time stream.

Now let's tie it all together into a canon scene and see what happens. You can read more in Part 4.

Secundum Suam Voluntatem

In the late hours of the Old World, a man emerged to power by tapping into the insecurities of the ancient elite; through clarity achieved the dream. Able to sift though the wisdom and texts from all the knowledge and experience of men before, form and realize practicality, and then perform at will. The awe and inspiration of the history of man, his majesty sits upon the throne overlooking his kigdom, obtaining power, over and by, his citizens and non-citizens simultaneously. Not claiming anything more or less than anything that is or isn't, here is the expression of that will:

For only a handful of men throughout time were known to have been able to ascend heaven without death, Enoch, Elijah, Serach, and others, then the realization must be made that it is possible to ascend to heaven without death. It should be of great interest to any man to investigate Enoch, Moses, Elijah, Adam, Noah, or anyone who had contact with the Almighty, especially the few who are there now, in body. It is written that in the beginning, the Almighty created the Heavens and the Earth, implying speration of at least two places, however, it is later revealed that this body is able to exist in at least both places. This places incredible value to the human body, and anything contrary is evilspeak.

The Almighty created the body and knows it, and it is of divine creation. It is a temple for the Almighty as well, and should not be wasted. It is a holy thing. Pay attention to what you place into the body, and feed it only what is good. For it is by what was eaten, that sin entered the world. The intution of man knows a good body from a bad one, and so accordingly, order can be created for all by purposeful arrangement. Demons and other entities may possess our bodies, as well as the bodies of animals. The human body differs from the bodies of animals, fish, and other things.

Great attention should be made so that our bodies are used to perform good work. The body that works is better than the body that does not work. Sickness, disease, and crippledness are signs of the works of evil. Many are often a curse. There is no difference between the body, spirit, and soul. They are all three one and the same, interconnected, and so should be taken care of with respect. Injury and disease can overcome a person's thoughts and handworks, purpose, and ambition. Do not let the body overcome your free will given to you by the Almighty.

Retards are not allowed in holy places, and are not allowed to intervene with the works of the able-bodied. They are not to be given food. Animals and plants that show signs of disease, defect, or injury are not to be used for societal purpose, and are to be burned immediately. The marks of Cain and Ham are the will of the Almighty, and are not allowed in holy places, including the city. They are treated accordingly and are not to participate in societal dealings. All bodies are to be recorded and inspected for maintenance and statistical purpose by trained authority, so that the best performance may be achieved.

The male and female are of equal importance, each serving their own respected purpose, working together in harmony and total cooperation with each other, for each other's sake. The universe contains more bodies than that which is commonly available, and rememberance of this knowledge should always be accounted. The male should never envy or attempt to peform the purpose and work of the female, neither should the female envy nor attempt to perform the purpose and work of the male. It is by creation that humans exist, and it is of importance that humans create. It is evil to live life in a way so as not to create human life.

The prerogative of one group should not be envied by another, it is important that the understanding of common energy benefits and creates the harmony of society. Knowing the importance of the body and understanding of common energy is a fundamental and primary education and none shall suppress or hide this knowledge from any other. Free will is not able to be controlled or infringed, and this shall also be a fundamental and primary education. Under the idea of common energy, both dual and non-dual teachings are correct, however the practical purpose lends to the belief that the soul continues on in the universe that is the energy matrix.

The soul is the thoughts, knowledge, thinking pattern, and memories of an individual that is created at conception and continues onward throughout time and non-time in the universe. The soul and a person are one and the same. All parts of the soul, including consciousness and unconsciousness (being the same), are the direct and sole responsibility of the individual, including takeover, deceit, and misinformation, and duress, because of free will. If the beliefs of the soul are not in the soul's direct control, the soul still has a free will. Operations inside and outside of the standard realm are the responsibility of the individual and cannot be the responsibility of any other thing because of free will. It is the interest of the society to expose the soul to the most good experience, and to protect the souls of the individuals from those that wish to limit good experience.

Age of the body and other things in earth is a sign of the wrath of the Almighty. It is in line with the understanding of evil and its impact on life. Time does not exist outside of the standard realm, and is only a dimension applicable to the standard realm, in accordance with the properties of the sun. The heavens exist above the earth, and in it are the stars and celestial bodies of which angels are bound. The heavens are home to many of the bodies outside of common availability, including the paradise that is the home of the Almighty.

The understanding of common energy explains the bodies outside of common availability, and the understanding of the functions of the body explains their existence. Under the principle of insecurity lies the power of the agreement of uncommon bodies and man. It is with great wisdom that clarity is available, the purpose backed by the history of man under providence. Clarity allowing and by power and wisdom should be the zeal of the gentleman and purpose of the righteous, the desire of the knowing woman, and its respect should be protected by society. From atop the hill all can be seen crossing the field below, day or night, and the mercy of that atop the hill is their gift.

The wisdom of Solomon led to the destruction of Israel, age taking its effect. Clarity teaches so that the mistake isn't repeated. David's heart led to his death in old age; clarity teaching the heart to have. Job's loyalty gave him the experience of tremendous family, the secret clarity knows. Clarity knows no hunger, pain, tension, anxiety, weakness, misunderstanding, confusion, blurriness, indirectiveness, jealousy, or servitude.

There shall be a throne, about four feet wide, with armrests, a high back, and a deep seat. There shall be higher than normal legs, to account for long legs. To each side attached to the throne shall be benches, measuring 24 feet in length, with an armrest on the ends only. The backs of the benches shall be shorter than that of the throne. The throne shall be made of dark stained pinewood. The total length of the throne shall be 52 feet, one foot for each week of the year. The right side shall be for good, and the left side for evil. There shall be a prominent stripe or stairs to seperate the throne from the arena area. A box shall be drawn or low table placed in line of the King's seat in front of the arena, followed by the arena. The arena shall be of the octagraph, dual box design, outlined inside and outside by a high priest. It shall measure 8 feet in diameter. To each side a pedestal or low table shall be placed.

A large square shall be assigned around the north table, the arena, and the two pedestals. Opposite the north table shall be a south table or box. From the eagle's view, there shall be an arena with four equal squares surrounding it, inside a square. Another prominent stripe or stairs shall be to the south, seperating the operating area from the entrance. In the middle shall be 4 guards, 2 relays, and 2 priests, stationed at the pedestals. South of that shall be 4 guards, consisting of 2 doormen, the Escort, and the Escort's assistant. Substitutions may be made upon according situations, at the discretion of a priest. All operations shall be made under the supervision of a priest, in accordance to the rule of free will.

Only a priest can present any authentic object.

SURPRISE BITCHES I HAVE CONTENT

(the first half, sperated from the second half by a line that you’ll see as you read is written by @mads-does-stuff, the original creator of the concept of Elysium and Inferno and the cherri bomb to my angel dust. show her some love)

Castiel paced around the small courtyard. His hand trembled as it moved to graze the hilt of the hidden dagger that was covered by his ivory cloak. The prince took a deep, shaking breath. “This is your duty, Castiel…” he murmured to himself. “It’s… for the greater good.” Castiel sighed, staring blankly at the glossy marble floors before he snapped back to reality, hearing the opening of a portal. “Hey!” an upbeat voice called from behind Castiel. The Prince of Angels turned his head, and his golden eyes widened. Azazel took Castiel’s breath away— quite literally. Castiel was so shocked that he couldn’t breathe. Inferno’s Crown Prince looked nearly the opposite of Castiel. He had rich, deep purple skin that was washed with ebony freckles. Azazel had ink-black sclera and silver irises. His hair was dark and messy, thrown into a short ponytail. Two curling horns stuck out of his unkempt hair. He had pointed, pierced ears and a pair of glasses with a crack in the right lens. He wore a cheap-looking suit with a poorly tied black knot with red stripes across it. Just the sight of Azazel would be enough to put any Angel into a coma. But something about his laughter-filled eyes, serrated teeth in a mischevious grin, and the array of freckles across his face was… quite enamoring to Castiel. “Hello?” Azazel says, leaning forward. He grinned, displaying his sharp serrated teeth. “You alright, great almighty Angel Prince?” he says jokingly. “You look startled. Have I scared you with my devilishly good looks?” he says sarcastically, laughing. “I—“ Castiel’s golden gaze shifted to the ground. He furrowed his brow. “No, you simply surprised me. That is all.” he says quietly, his hand slowly drifting to where the bejeweled dagger was hidden, under his cloak.

“If you say so,” Azazel held Castiel’s hand flirtily: “Your Majesty..” The second Azazel smirked up at him, Castiel felt like he was going to explode. “So uhm.. Shall we get going?” Castiel stuttered, messing up his hair nervously as he pulled his hand away. “Nah, we gotta wait for one more..” Azazel smirks, crossing his arms and motioning to the portal. Azazel snarled. “What do you mean one more..-“ Castiel looked over at the demonic portal and immediately shifted back out of intimidation.

—

Castiel only knew what it was like to see fire because his mother had described it to him after a meeting in Inferno. His mother had talked quite poorly about that meeting, and it only made him even more scared of the realm. The demon had eyes the color of blood, robin hood green hair tied into a ponytail. Their figure was slender, skin scaly and pale. Dozens of rows of sharp teeth were visible, and they had a serpent tail.

“AYY!!” Azazel immediately fist bumped the demon. “About time, what took ya so long?” The demon grimaced. “Had some things to deal with, so to speak.” They said, cracking their kunckles. Castiel gulped; demons really were vile. The snake chuckled at his disturbed face, pulling out a box. Castiel was confused, til she pulled out a rolled up piece of paper. “Little help?” Az nodded, touching the tip before she put it to her mouth. Oh. A cigarette. “Uhm..” Castiel stuttered, wings fluttering.

“Oh. Yeah. , this is Angel Boy. Angel Boy, this is my assistant, the best manager and friend I could ask for-“ “Ssserpentine.” Azazel gasped. “You cut me off!” Amos let out a huff of cigar smoke, which blew right into Castiel’s face and grinned. “You took too long.” Azazel scoffed, playfully punching her in the ribs. “This is why we’re best friends, girl. How about get this guy to Inferno yeah? Maybe get a latte. Trust me you’ll LOVE the lattes here..” Azazel stepped through the portal, chattering on and on about the demon cuisine as his tail swished. As Castiel stepped through the portal, he could have sworn 2 serpent-like red eyes were staring at him. Specifically, under his ivory colored cloak.
