The CIA is connected to the Killy Tokurt Ops. They are the one who specialize in soul scalping. This is how our government leaders were replaced. Removing the light body & soul and replacing it with a physical vessel void of any connection to source.

Sherry Shriner covered this in many videos/audios. Megan Rose spoke about this in one of her books. Corey Goode is also another source who spoke on the caste system of the Ciakharr who are the top elite in their race.

Remember when I mentioned that people were not ready once they found out who have been eating the children? Guess what was the capitol for the "Child Sex Trafficking" breeding hub?

The Vatican.

Do you remember the story or report that came out in July of 2019 where thousands of bones was unearthed in two ossuaries discovered in the Vatican City, as part of an ongoing search for clues into the disappearance of a 15-year-old girl more than three decades ago in 1983?

Do you remember the mass grave full of baby bones found along the shores of Israel's Mediterranean coast, in the ancient seaport of Ashkelon in 2014?

Do you remember An Indigenous group said the remains of as many as 751 people, mainly children, had been found in unmarked graves on the site of a former boarding school in Saskatchewan?

As a matter of fact that was a 2,300 page document that leaked that verified Pope Francis’ cover up of a Vatican Pedophile Ring. Did you know 20 Chilean Priests who went public on their connection to that very same Pedophile Ring, were killed in a plane crash right after their meeting with Pope Francis?

Back on July 20 2014 the International Common Law Court of Justice in Brussels found defendants Pope Francis Bergoglio, Catholic Jesuit Superior General Adolfo Pachon and Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby guilty of rape, torture, murder and the trafficking of children. (Nothing Is Happening?)

I highly doubt it.

Two adolescent women told the ICLCJ Court that Pope Francis raped them while participating in child sacrifices during the Springs of 2009 and 2010 in rural Holland and Belgium. According to a former employee of the Curia in Rome, rapes and murders of children also took place at the Carnarvon Castle in Wales and an undisclosed French Chateau.

A Prosecutor introduced notarized affidavits by eight others claiming to witness these same crimes organized by the Vatican. Another witness testified that they were present during meetings with the then Argentine priest and Bishop Francis and the military Junta during Argentine’s 1970′s Dirty War.

According to the witness, Francis helped traffic 30,000 children of missing political prisoners into the Vatican Pedophile Ring.

Do you know why this has taken so long? If you knew how vast these underground tunnels are you would understand why certain EOs signed by D. Trump kept getting extensions.

The Military at some point will disclose the battles that went underground.

The weapons used.

The strategies used.

The entries/exits used.

The medical technology used.

The portals/gateways that were used.

You got a glimpse of this during the fight that went on underground with the Phil Schneider lectures that still can be found on YouTube about the Dulce extraterrestrial confrontation that resulted in lives being lost and him being scarred from it.

People are only looking at the human aspect of this process. They are not looking at this as governments officials serving a unknown species that want world dominion who is an entire different secret government whose base are in these DUMBS-(Deep Underground Military Bases) who control all of our 3 letter agencies who are middlemen/conduits who these covert species use to control Washington. 🤔

The dagger talisman specifically calls them "white-garbed field surgeons", so they were field surgeons, but it's sort of implied that due to the scale of the Shattering there was no medicine to be performed. Historically, the misericorde was a companion weapon of knights in the High Middle Ages, often for backstabs or euthanasia. It was also really popular with criminals and assassins, due to its small size.

Medics could perform euthanasia, but so could other knights. It doesn't really make sense to me that there would be a completely separate faction just for mercy killing, even in Elden Ring.

"A sense of mercy is a catalyst for bloodlust." means that Varré began his career as a surgeon out of a desire to do good, but the bloodshed has led him to sadism and disregard for human life.

It seems plausible putting so many soldiers out of their misery, coupled with the miserable work conditions (Varré wears a filthy tarp + rats, crows, dogs, flies) would lead him to think poorly of the Greater Will ("no love for our kind"), which would make him sympathise with Omens. He's also particularly cruel to the player and other Tarnished specifically because Tarnished are by definition pawns of the Two Fingers, previously abandoned by them ("Your loyalties are misplaced with them.").

Varré can take you to the Roundtable Hold and has very good insight into how Grace looks.

He asks you to see the Two Fingers "in the inner chamber", "So that you may see for yourself". Varré knows the exact location of the Fingers and "for yourself" implies he has been granted audience before, meaning he once served Godfrey.

Perhaps he even believed death was acceptable as long as the Erdtree recycled the corpses, but the instability and unjustified cruelty of the Greater Will slowly dented his faith.

Real life example, during the Albigensian Crusade: "Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius" meaning "Kill them all; let God sort them out."

MagiReco/Premiere Nebula EoS Crossover Story!

In the infinite cosmos of the universe, Iroha Tamaki had felt shockwaves rippling across the Record all day. Whatever a day still meant to a goddess, at least. Homura Akemi had finally abandoned this timeline for the next, and as long as that was the case, Iroha could no longer directly interfere. She could appear to other magical girls in visions, sure, but other than that, this realm was being locked off even beyond her influence now. It wouldn't be completely deleted, as a goddess beyond even herself kept it as her greatest treasure, but it would, to continue the metaphor, still go offline.

Iroha had steeled herself for such an end in the weeks leading up to the time jump but it was still...hard. Today, the final day before the event, was to be her last contact with many of the magical girls she held dear, and she'd spent most of it flitting from Puella Magi to Puella Magi, summoning them when necessary or letting them come directly to her. The holes in the timeline that Homura's jumps created, Touka had attempted to explain, allowed girls to find her in seemingly impossible ways.

And yet even then, the figure that'd appeared beside her was little short of a shock to her. If Iroha didn't know better, she would've assumed it was another goddess who'd just ascended, with its impossibly long wavy black hair, toga, and flaming blue wings. But it was just another magical girl, albeit one that wasn't supposed to interfere in this universe.

Not that Valka had ever really cared much about trifles like rules.

"So you actually went and did it," Valka started. "An automatic purification system for all magical girls, powered solely by your own magic. Color me impressed."

From the short amount of time Iroha had known the other magical girl, she could never quite be certain when, or if, Valka was truly being genuine with her words. She'd come from a place even more strategy-minded than Kamihama, and could just as easily propose an alliance as a compliment.

"It's a bit more complicated than that," replied Iroha, "but yes. It's been working well for us. We can finally live in hope, without having to hurt anyone for it. I finally feel like our struggles are over."

Valka simply gave a sad smile towards her fellow faction leader and stared out towards the skies. Whether by some coincidence of fate or completely intentionally, Iroha noticed the Actress's blue eyes moving towards the nebula that gave her own faction its name.

"Ours are only beginning, I fear. Now that Witches are out of the game, humans will have to find other ways to harness magical energy. Your plan will work in the end, and entropy will be countered with Doppels alone, but the Manufacturer doesn't know that. Likely, as magical girl contracts become a thing of the past, he'll decide to ramp up Actress production."

Even with the gentle tone in her voice reassuring Iroha that such a result wasn't her own fault, the possibility still shook her to her core. Valka's home country, Olympia, had found a way to create magical girls without a contract. They were kept inside facilities solely as weapons or left to rot until they became Witches, with no true quality of life at all. Some had even been subject to brutal experiments that made them less like the magical girls Iroha knew and more like energy vampires.

"No! Surely he knows more harm will come of that than--"

"I'll make sure he does," spoke Valka in the clipped voice of a soldier. "I'll make sure he never gets the chance to. But that's why...I can't pass on to the other world with you. I have to go back. You may not ever see me again, so listen up."

Out of all the words Iroha expected to come out of Valka's mouth, the last ones she expected were "thank you."

"F-for what? We barely even know each other!"

"Stelle hasn't had a flareup in weeks. Whatever you did works on Actresses too. Kamihama really is a place where all magical girls can be saved. I just wanted to make sure you knew that."

For probably the fourth time today, and certainly not the last, Iroha could feel tears welling up in her incorporeal eyes.

"Being a magical girl of hope is hard. I'd almost lost faith in it myself when I first came to Kamihama. But you were always there to rally the troops when the chips were down. Seeing you do that...it made me want to become a better leader to my own magical girls."

With another slight tilt of her head, Valka noticed the wormhole opening nearby her, beckoning her to her own world. A world that still needed protecting, one that not even Iroha could interfere with.

A world that, even so, she had absolute faith that Valka could save.

"Do you think we'll see each other again?" asked Iroha as the portal grew larger and larger.

"Who knows?" replied Valka. "What I do know is I'll be thinking of you this whole time. Keep making a better world for your kind, and I'll keep making one for mine. And if our paths do decide to cross..."

She crossed through the portal one final time, her wings sparkling like stars.

"I'll catch you on the other side, Tamaki-san."

✨Premiere Nebula will continue...✨

You calling khao a fuccboi cz of his insta posts is taking me tf out 🤣🤣🤣🤣 i havent seen anyone being as real about them as you are, it’s a breath of fresh air. i love them even though theyre basically non existent to anyone except eo 😭

oh I can get so real about them. I get so real about them that I get mistaken for an anti on Twitter all the time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 like no jokes I had to put it in my bio

they really know nothing else in a way that’s actively kinda bad for their rep (though it drives a certain faction of people that I am absolutely part of totally nutso).

Like if this were fake then they’re doing too good a job and they have to dial it back. They have to sometimes look like they remember it’s fake. Like those dispersed moments of character break is really really important for this to be successful in the format of the business model of imaginary couples. Like even if the couple were really in a romantic relationship they would still have to pretend they were fake at times do you understand what I’m trying to say?

and I cannot explain this in words but khaotung at his solo event was pining for first. I just- I don’t remember it being like that at the event with montow??? They’re getting worse at this. Like they hit the soft spot somewhere back in 2023 and have just regressed into diminishing marginal utility 😭😭😭

But also like??? thank god??? for that!!!!!!! I am endlessly entertained! I’m at the edge of my seat. I don’t think any of these men are normal about their fake partners by the way. But don’t you understand them??? Say if you had a friend that you had some ritualistic hobby with. Like everytime a spider man movie comes out you always watch it with them. And then when the next one came out they suddenly watched it with someone else. Like wouldn’t it drive you absolutely crazy? wouldn’t it make you sad?

Like the versions of themselves that are in fake love with each other are THEIR blorbos 🤧 But firstkhao are blorbo-ing a little too close to the sun 🤧🤧🤧🤧 best friends who take care of each other as more than best friends - yessir whatever you say sir 🫡

Some thoughts on Ayakoi App

Since I'm replaying Ayakoi so I get to post my overall thoughts on the common routes, each faction and their respective characters, I also wanted to talk about how I felt overall about the game, more specifically the app since the Switch version is just a visual novel without the gacha mechanics.

Overall I think that Ayakoi is a good game. Not perfect, mind you but a good game. I do enjoy the setting of it taking place in the Meiji era along with the use of Ayakashi and reincarnation. And I do like the characters, even the ones who I consider to be just fine. More than that, I liked how each faction tells a different story and how tied each character is to said faction. And not to mention the main theme of the game is the bonds between people, whether they be romantic, familial, or platonic. And it's just a chill game you can play. So yeah, I think it's a good game. But it's not without its issues.

I think my main takeaway issue would have to be that the game works better as a regular visual novel, not a gacha. Because you can't rely that much on a gacha game that has a short shelf life, especially if it's not making money, which is the case for Ayakoi for the JP server and especially the EN server which stopped any and all updates. The way I see it, Ayakoi really is just a chill, comfy type of game that has a decent amount of plot and character development. The more I'm playing the Switch version, the more I appreciate the fact I can just sit back and enjoy the story without the hassle of getting SSR cards and the amount of grinding and materials I needed. I know that Event stories and both SR and SSR cards have stories that help further the character's development, add in more backstory, and I do like that added detail to the overall arching storyline. Personally for me I never worried whether I got a character's card or not in the gacha banner because I knew I wouldn't be missing out on much as compared to the Main and Event stories. (Unless it's Oji, then I'm gonna collect every one of his cards). So when I look at the game as a whole, I don't see any reason why it should be a gacha when I can easily see it as another type of Love 365 game where you buy a main and side stories with coins.

Now, with Ayakoi running on a live server, it's going to inevitably get hit by an EOS announcement or like with the EN server, stop updating entirely. It's not a matter of if it'll happen but when. And seeing that Voltage's apps don't seem to be doing all that well financially, I'm not sure when Ayakoi will stop updating or get shut down. And if it does shut down entirely, all the stories will be gone, which is why I hope one day Voltage will release all story content as DLC to the Switch or release Ayakoi on Steam. We get the Night faction story, Event stories, and the sequel stories as DLC. I mentioned in a previous post that at the rate Koga's Sequel story has been released (Half of it was released and years later they're releasing the other half), I do not see the other guys getting their sequel stories before the game stops updating or shuts down. There are so many unanswered questions and loose threads for each of the character's storyline (especially for Yura and the Night faction) that we'll probably never get the answers if the game shuts down. Which is why I hope people archive this kind of stuff before it gets lots in the ether.

I still think Ayakoi overall is a good game for what it is. I hope one day Voltage will just release everything as DLC for the Switch or a Steam release. I would gladly pay for it just to preserve it. I very much adore this game.

Hello, 🐈‍⬛anon is here!!

Sadly, I don't have really an opportunity and mental strength to give akuneko enough time, work's taking a lot from me☹️I still didn't even read the Butler's Wedding Party, I'm so far from the fresh events, gosh... I guess I'll have to force myself to catch up otherwise I'm scared that I won't be able to do so and the game will be closed by the time I'll have enough time (sorry for the dark thought I just was scarred by how Senjuushi was closed TWICE and I didn't had enough time to at least read the main story😭)

Anyway, I'm really hyped up for the Sanrio Collab Halloween!! Very interested to know what happened that sanrio pookies suddenly came to the world of our butler pookies (is it bc the third ultimate bbgirl of this title Bellen woke up?/j)

hii, 🐈‍⬛–anon (*^▽^*)!! hope you’ve been doing well!

I totally get it. since the summer event (the cruise one) i haven’t been too active as well 😭 i just login from at least once in two-days so i can collect enough gems (the ones needed to unlock memories of the butlers in the album).

and I’d say many of the events are filler content with lore dropped in small bits. they’re not extremely connected so you wouldn’t be missing out on much if you read the recent events for now and leave the previous ones.

god, don’t scare me, 🐈‍⬛–anon 😱 aknk won’t end it’s services ✨ it’s doing very well (like its always on top 15 or above in rankings) so it should be very unlikely (devs, please don’t think about it 🙏)

you played senjyushi too?! I played it as well \(//∇//)\, not the older one but the Rhodoknight one that ended its services this year. it put me in such a slump when it ended its services. i knew it wasn’t doing the best (it was literally 31 in ranking 😭) but god i loved it too much.

i started playing it a month after the new game launched. what got me into it was Snider 😔💖

I have gotten obsessed with fictional characters from time to time (quite a few i can name) but very few can hold a candle to how i liked Snider ✨ (i read his entire affection story from the older game and my obsession became deeper.)

i literally had every single card of his besides his Halloween card (the purple themed one) + his first anniversary card. i didn’t spent a dime on the game but I grinded hard enough to have all his cards, unlock all event stories of his + anything with him. plus, of course besides Snider, i loved UK’s faction, Kathariste and France’s faction a lot 💞!

I didn’t get to read the last few updates of the main story either 😭 i read till the introduction of the third part of the main story right before the bomb dropped for Like-two—and then they announced EOS and it made me so depressed. Senjyushi R was the reason i tried to learn japanese—it was my favourite game. before senjyushi, afterl!fe had also ended its services so senjyushi was another blow to me.

but I’m glad it’s getting a switch release! better something than nothing! as much as i regret the fact that the story will end and i won’t ever get see Mark, Like-two, Jitte, George, Snider, Enfield and so many more characters again with new content again, I’ll have to satiate myself with what i have 😔

i literally started akuneko because i didn’t have another game to obsess over after senjyushi. i also left akuneko two years ago because i wasn’t able to focus on senjyushi with akuneko 😭 it’s my rebound partner.

back to akuneko, I’m excited as well for the collab! I’ll read the event story in the weekend if i can make time. silent hill 2 remake was released too so I also want to play that (or at least watch the play through 🌫️)

you know, you’ve stated the best reason for sanrio pookies coming into the aknk world—it’s the awakening of the ultimate baby-girl, Bellen. I’m not accepting the reason the writers will choose in the event story—the actual reason in my heart will always be the awakening of Bellen 💞

Unnecessary world building for a mech universe that I don’t think I’m gonna have to worry about haha but I’m a GM so I do it anyway for fun

The UCSE! Eos’ finest, they have like 2 spare Credits collectively, a total of 10 augmented mech pilots total, and an extremely limited number of viable defensive strongholds.

Eos is an Outlier Planet, flush with that neo-feudal, wild west vibe. Everyone who lives there is tough as hell, no matter what factions they are aligned with.

[glasswinggames]

Me balking at the last ask where there were MULTIPLE attempts made on baby Cai's life:

A more depressing question, but now I'm curious... Have any of the other cast members also experienced assassination attempts before?

Xbxjxbx baby Cai suffered-- 😩🙏

So Helios definitely has, certain people aren't too happy with the political power he has as both the head of the magic tower and also the Archduke.

Athy may have... punched a noble... who wasn't too happy with being punched and sent people after her, until they realised who she is (the assassin guild is a branch of the Mercenary guild and they know better to attack someone of a high rank). She paid the noble a visit, and since then, nobody has messed with her.

Noah has had a few, because he is so important to the church of Caitel, others in other factions tried to take him out to weaken their influence. It's come close a couple of times because he's very trusting, but he is strong and still going! He never let's it get him down!

People have tried to take out assassination attempts on Eos, but they have paid a LOT of people off, so you'd struggle to find someone willing to take the job.

Answering this had me like... do I make them suffer too much?? 😅 /silly

Thank you for the question! ☺️

Hey Nagito, just out of curiosity but how familiar are you with Eden's Garden Academy?

Eden's Garden Academy is one of many prestigious Ultimate Academy's around the globe. While I'm sure some of you already knew this, despite Hope's Peak Academy being by far the most prominent, wealthy and famous, with the highest success rate, it wasn't the only one in the world.

Aside from it, and Eden's Garden Academy, there's also Precept's Peak, Bitokukawa Academy, EOS Institute, and as I'm sure you're already familiar, Freedom Academy.

However, despite it's prestige, Eden's Garden during the tragedy, turned from the grounds of a school to the grounds of a cryptic cult. Many students who fell to despair started using human sacrifices there to appease Junko Enoshima, or the Gods of Despair, or whatever mumbo jumbo they believed in.

But perhaps the strangest part about the cult is how they went out. It was high on the Future Foundation's priority list to take care of them and shut them down for good, but on the day they moved in to make arrests and take the cult down...

Every last member of the faction had been murdered in cold blood. Bodies lined the halls, like some kind of creature had gone on a rampage. There were no survivors, and the Foundation never found out who or what had killed them, or what really happened.

Accountability Post 1/25/25

I woke up full of piss and vinegar and wrote a lengthy rant on Bluesky about all the factionalism within those resisting Trump's fascism in the US. The thread is here, or you can wait until I put it up on my website and link it here. I think it's pretty good. That said, most of the rest of my day will be spent working on some other urgent or important things. I have a couple of maps to prepare (using Inkarnate) for my D&D group tomorrow. We use a VTT, so I'll have to create the effects I want for them as well. I'm also going to start to piece together my January mega post of mutual aid and direct action links. There are SO many.

In addition, I think that under each category I have defined on my website, I'm going to start creating a massive link page to all things I have found that might be useful to folks. That won't happen today, but it's definitely a "this month" goal.

Finally, after seeing the shape of some of the health related EOs coming out of Trump's regime, I'm thinking of creating a Discord server based in my Patreon that offers mental health education and support groups and moderated peer support for people doing mutual aid and direct action. If my Patreon can replace my insurance based income, I can see people without insurance pro-bono while making it very inexpensive to get support and community from one another.

Gratitudes: It's clear I'm going to crash at some point today, but right now I'm caffeine fueled and on fire. I'm going to take advantage of that. Also, I'm grateful for my little old lady cat and my evil bitch kitty and my big ol' love of a dog. Oh, and my husband, too, I guess.

Feb. 21, 2024

I don't really feel like writing today. That tends to happen when I'm stressing out. But I thought I'd give it a shot, and see if I could vent my frustrations a bit.

One of Morpheus' kids has gotten too big for his britches. His name is Filodoxia, "ambition," which is apt. He goes by "Dox."

Ever since the tragedy at the infirmary, and the loss of several of his siblings, Dox has been rapidly climbing through the ranks, his sights set on becoming a faction leader. It's not a bad goal to have, but Morpheus insists he's not ready. And with him being barely three years old (a pre-teen in oneiroi standards), I have to agree.

It all started when he approached me to try to supersede his father's ruling. Morpheus had insisted that if he wasn't able to counter the svefnthorn rune, then he wasn't ready. And Njorun's logic was simply to show him how much he had yet to learn... which put him into a three-day sleep.

Naturally, I refused to give him a pass, and instead I gave him some new things to practice. Hints and such to keep him on the right track. But after that, the boy didn't sleep. He trained day and night, and even somehow managed to get a blessing from Eos to keep him awake.

Morpheus grew concerned, and came to me for advice. I asked him what he had needed when he was young and reckless and still learning what he could do.

"Legitimacy," he said.

I thought about it for a moment. All Dox wanted was to be taken seriously. So I advised Morpheus to set a date for Dox to test up a level, and we called the boy in to announce our decision.

Dox was... less than pleased. He insisted he was ready right that moment. No amount of disagreement was going to make him realize he wasn't ready, so I put a stop to the argument.

He left, and Morpheus bemoaned that the kid was going to go off and do something stupid... which he did. He tried to get into Muspelheim to start processing Ingrid. Morpheus and I watched from a distance as Dox went right up to the twelve-foot-tall fire Jotunn guard and demanded entry. The guard tried to put him in his place, but the kid wouldn't back down.

He wanted something to process... and he needed to be broken. So the Jotnar and I showed him how woefully unprepared he was. He fought to use every last bit of his training... and he still withered under the pressure. His hair turned white, and he became gaunt and pale.

And as soon as he was finished, the guards took him to a cell and left him there.

He languished in the cell for several days. The jotnar tried to get him to process his fears, but he lasted only a few minutes before he had to call it quits. He came home to the Dream World with a high fever and an iridescent rash, courtesy of a guide who was standing by.

We're still watching his progress, but he'll be back on his feet in no time. And hopefully causing fewer problems.
