Life without a sugar daddy was rough.

As Toji Fushiguro's ex-wife and Naoya Zenin's ex-mistress, Mari faced this harsh reality since no one threw their money in her direction anymore. She slept little this past week, overwhelmed by financial stressors. While she still subsisted on the younger executive's credit card (with his fortune, Naoya hardly noticed the charges on his bill), she realized that she actually had to work for an income.

Such was the case as Mari walked home one evening after interviewing for jobs, her body and mind exhausted from fielding mundane questions about her previous professional experiences (which she had little of).

Upon unlocking her apartment door, she was immediately greeted by the sight of her illuminated living room.

That struck her as odd.

She always switched the lights off before she left.

However, when she spotted a familiar face down the hall, she found the answer.

"Tsumiki." Mari dropped her purse by the door. "What are you doing here?”

The woman had not seen her one and only blood-related child in months. While she knew that her daughter—who was, without doubt, a fantastically accomplished and intelligent young lady—just completed her second year at Oxford University, she thought the girl had chosen to remain in England for her summer break. Didn't Toji mention that she did not want to return to Tokyo?

Not that Mari complained. She was just...confused.

Admittedly, Mari should know the answer to her question, but she had been too ‘occupied’ to contact Tsumiki as much as a good mother should. As a result, Mari found herself in the dark about the girl's life in the United Kingdom, her plans for the university holiday, and her recent classes in…what was her field of study again?

Surely, Toji and his twerp son Megumi would know all the answers since Tsumiki had always been closer to her Fushiguro stepfamily. Quite a shame, since Mari would have considered her daughter as the most perfect angel otherwise.

She toed her shoes off.

“When did you arrive in Tokyo?” Mari continued with a plastered smile and approached the girl sitting with crossed arms in the living room.

Genetics ran deep between mother and daughter. Uninformed observers might even mistake the pair as sisters, the physical resemblance uncanny in how Tsumiki presented a more youthful version of the older woman by sharing the same warm chocolate-colored eyes, long dark hair, and flawless porcelain skin.

Yet, physical similarities meant nothing when Mari could not fully decipher her own flesh and blood.

“I came back to Japan earlier this week,” Tsumiki responded a terse edge in her tone.

“But I haven’t seen you until now.”

“Because I’ve been staying with Dad.”

“Oh.” So, she meant with Toji. “You mean your stepdad.”

“No,” she corrected sternly. “He's my dad.”

Theoretically, Mari could go into a whole tangent on how Tsumiki’s actual father was some middle-class nobody whom she hadn’t seen or spoken to since her first divorce (and that was many years ago). Or how the Fushiguros technically were Tsumiki’s ex-stepfamily since Mari had divorced her second husband Toji earlier this year.

But she spared her daughter from the reminders.

“Well, I’m glad to see you back, honey.” With a bottle of unfinished cabernet sauvignon in the fridge, Mari meandered to the kitchen to pour herself a full glass. She returned to living room and joined her daughter on the sofa. “How have you been? I’m guessing England has been treating you well? I have never been, so I wouldn’t know. Heard that the fish and chips are good there."

No response.

Am I being ignored? Mari commented inwardly and swirled the red wine in her chalice.

She took her first sip amid the long and awkward pause before switching the topic to encourage conversation. "Anyway, whenever you would like, you’re always welcome to stay a few nights here. Wouldn't hurt to spend some more time with your mother."

Only for Tsumiki to quip, “We’ve talked about this before. I don’t want to live with you.”

Now, this—Mari believed—was certainly uncalled for. "Watch your tone with me, young lady."

"For what? I am not here because I miss you," her daughter resumed. "If I had a better option, I would not bring myself to show up here and be in front of you."

The older woman placed her glass down and tried to appear calm. Hearing Tsumiki speak with such contempt twisted a deep knife into Mari's heart. Once upon a time, her daughter had been the sweetest girl—warm, full of life, and eager to express her innocent thoughts with anyone she encountered. Now, however, that same person had been tainted into someone cold, guarded, and withdrawn, demonstrated by her disrespect to the very woman who had given her life.

"That is no manner to talk to your mother," Mari cautioned.

"Well, maybe because I have my reasons."

"Which are?"

"Do you want to know why I did not bother to text or call you these past several months?" and Tsumiki did not wait for an answer before she angrily added, "Because I am so upset that you filed a divorce with Dad!"

While Mari had hoped to not bring up the topic before, she had no choice but to do so now.

"That big, burly, bulky man is not your father," she snapped. "He and his emo Harvard-bound son are not your family! In the eyes of the law, there is no longer any relation between you and them. But, I am your mother. I had given you life, and this is what you think of me?"

"Because I love them!" Tsumiki opposed through a hardened glare. "Dad and Megumi treat me more like their blood-related family than you do!”

Mari could not believe the preposterous words her daughter spewed. She always presumed that the Fushiguros had been corrupting her child, and to see her suspicions confirmed had Mari standing up promptly from the couch.

"How dare you say after all I have done for you, Tsumiki?" Mari interrogated angrily. "Did you think that I left your biological father and then divorced your stepfather for what...for fun?! These choices were difficult for me, too! But I made those judgments because I wanted to give you a better life in which we didn't have to worry about where our next meal, our next piece of clothing, or our next rent payment would come from! Your biological father is a no-name nothing. He could’ve never supported the lavish lifestyle you had experienced during your adolescent years. In fact, if I hadn’t married Toji Fushiguro, you probably wouldn't be studying at the University of Oxford right now! I, alone, could never have afforded all your years of expensive tutors or private school tuition. Please, think before you speak. I know I did not raise an ungrateful brat.”

Tsumiki furrowed her brows from the comments.

“You're the ungrateful one, Mom!” she insisted, and the said woman visibly reeled back when the girl continued to seethe with antipathy. “All the money that you had spent while married to Dad, he never asked for a single cent back. Never. In fact, he still pays for my university. In his eyes and mine, I’m as good as any blood-related child to him. He hadn't asked you to chip in because he knows you wouldn't have the money to. Divorcing the man you've been leeching off of isn't a sign of appreciation, Mom."

To hear her child defend another family, Mari wasn’t sure if she was going to laugh or cry at how ridiculous this scene was, the only thing she could process being the pain and betrayal that slammed her with one bitter blow.

"Well, did you want to become a laughingstock?" the woman rationalized. "Given our ties to the Zenin name when Toji left the company, those nasty journalists would've clung onto any scrap to label you a buffoon. You know what those tabloid writers are like! I had the foresight to divorce that man. I did not want the disgrace if we remained attached to the Fushiguros."

After that response, Tsumiki turned quiet with one sharp exhale as her eyes snapped shut, and Mari, whose entire body had undulated from heavy and irate breaths, thought that finally—finally—she had won this godforsaken argument.

Until she heard the younger girl speak again.

"Yet, you have humiliated me more than anyone," and noticing how her mother quirked a brow, Tsumiki went on. "Who are you really trying to protect, Mom? Are you truly making these decisions for my benefit? Or is it...for yourself?"

Despite hiding a gulp, the older woman noticed her heart race. "What do you mean?"

"How can you explain this?"

As though that was her cue, Tsumiki reached for her phone. She tapped onto the front page of the Yomiuri Shimbun, the most highly circulated newspaper in Japan. Before Mari could read the bold title labeled as 'Breaking News,' Tsumiki provided her with a verbal summary:

"The world knows you're a homewrecker, Mom."

Naoya found no surprise when Naobito Zenin burst into his executive suite as an angry bull would charge toward a provoking cape.

Plenty of times, his father barged into his private office completely unannounced, slamming the door open with enough force to rattle the wooden bookshelves behind him. Usually, the dramatic entrance would be followed by a slew of harsh admonitions, and this encounter—Naoya could tell—would be no different.

The astringency cast on his father's countenance gave the executive no other choice than to rise from his seat, his office chair sliding back so he could pose tall and confident as the heir to Japan's largest conglomerate should be.

"Father," he greeted, curt.

Taking hurried steps around his mahogany desk, Naoya aimed to meet the older man halfway until he instead came into contact with one harsh blow that sent his face flogging to the side.

Naoya froze, his gaze lowered.

Instinctively, he reached for his throbbing cheek with one hand as the other wiped briefly over his busted upper lip. To have his father approach him physically like this didn't even register as a surprise. Despite his title as the Zenin CEO, Naoya continued to be scolded, lectured, and outright ignored because, in his father's words, he 'never seemed to get anything right.'

Even now, the older man found no hesitation in cursing out his only child.

"You fucking son of a whore! Want to explain why your affair with Toji's ex-wife is all over Japanese media?!"

Slowly, Naoya lifted his eyes from the floor. He had suspected that this would be the topic of discussion. In the last hour, Naoya saw his name plastered over tabloid pages, news websites, and social media feeds as an anonymous whistleblower tipped publishers in regards to his scandalous affair with Mari—and the millions Naoya spent to hide it. Evidence ranging from supposedly long-gone paparazzi photos to screenshots of money transfers circulated quickly with the internet.

Naturally, Naoya had seen the headlines too...

'Zenin Corporation CEO Exposed for Concealing Affair with Predecessor's Ex-Wife' 'Everything to Know About the Zenin Household's Uncovered Drama in Family, Business, and Love' 'Billionaire Naoya Zenin Entangled in Cheating Scandal, Accused of Bribing Press to Silence Coverage'

...and the comments:

'That’s why you can’t trust rich people. They never have any shame.' 'His wife and company deserve better.' 'Disappointed that this is the scumbag leading our country's largest company.' 'The Board should fire him.’

Now, that last comment struck a very particular chord, especially since the Chairman of that very Board stood before him.

Naoya clenched his hands, yet he stood mute. With every wrong move certain to cost him far too much in return, he was completely powerless in front of the family patriarch and, as a result, his first logical reaction was to defend himself.

"I do not have the evidence yet, but I am certain Toji had planned this, Father. Him, and also Sukuna, Geto, and Choso. All four leaked these details because they didn’t want to see your son succeed. I will resolve this. I am going to call Toji immediately and—“

"You're right," Naobito interrupted coldly. "If Toji had still been CEO today, he would've made sure that none of this bullshit would’ve happened.”

Naoya widened his eyes in bewilderment, not anticipating his father to twist his logic like that. He already received a literal slap across his face, but to realize that Naobito still compared him to his older cousin all these months later drove him insane!

"No, Father. What I meant was—"

"Oh, there is no need to correct me. I know what you meant," Naobito tested in a low voice. "What I gathered from this conversation is that I have given you a million chances in life, and you know what? You blew every single one of them. You're an asshole, you're a cheater, and you're a complete humiliation. I can always count on you to paint me as a failed father."

Outrageous.

With the bitter staring contest between father and son, the latter boiled internally listening to the insults from the man who sired him. For the ruthless Naobito Zenin, Naoya meant no value as an heir without the ability to achieve his high standards. 

"Some twisted brain you have for sleeping with your cousin's ex-spouse,” Naobito then chided, yet amusement remained absent in his tone. “Was that the low-class tramp I saw in the photos with you on the private jet the other day?"

The blonde kept his mouth shut.

But his father wanted an answer. "Well?!"

Suck it in, Naoya. That's all you can do now. "Yes."

What a sight, to see how someone blazing as a furious flame then erupt into a violent volcano. Naobito grabbed his son's collar, pulling him forward and shoving him against the wall. His fists shook as he sought the other's gaze.

"You're fucking married, you realize that?!" he snarled.

"I do! Which is why I have cut Mari from my life! I don't talk to that woman anymore."

Unimpressed, Naobito tugged forcefully at Naoya's shirt again. "I am truly astonished by what an idiot you are. Your answer doesn't change shit." He tightened his grip and did not care that his son wrapped both hands around his wrist to prevent himself from choking. "Let me tell you something, boy. I did everything—everything—to convince our Chief Operating Officer to let his treasured daughter marry you, you despicable bastard. He didn't want to hand the girl over because he knew—oh, that man is wise!—he knew that the union mainly served as a tactic to improve your public image and that there was little obvious benefit for his child. Power and money did not interest him when compared to his daughter, so the one promise I made is that you would love her," and he roared, "so, what the hell have you done?!"

Naoya had heard his father’s warnings countless times, yet he previously brushed each one aside with an ambivalence he now acknowledged as foolish. Unlike before, the threat to his hard-earned position suddenly became very, verypalpable. He grappled with a strange fear, unable to pinpoint what precisely unsettled him the most. The scorn from a world that no longer saw him as an honest businessman? The sneers from relatives with an undeniable reason to mock him? Or perhaps the fury from his draconian father, whose disappointment cut deeper than any public disgrace?

"I—" Naoya's choked voice resembled a croak. He could hardly breathe. "I apologize. This entire situation...this got out of my control."

Alongside his callous disregard for his son’s feelings, the Zenin patriarch even scoffed.

"This isn’t about getting out of your control, boy. This is about your complete lack of judgment. In fact, Daisuke called me when he saw the headlines, and you know what he told me?" and he had to refrain from flinging his son onto the ground before he continued, "That Y/N's been staying in her family residence again because she is going to leave you!"

Naoya held his next breath. Fuck, he knows. Naoya intended to keep his recent arguments with you a secret, hoping to resolve the situation first. However, since your father snitched...lying would be a dangerous move.

"I have not seen Y/N in a week because we've had a few fights." Naoya did not dare admit the details about how you two became arguing spectacles, first in his cousins' presence and later on at the café. "Just...marriage quarrels. We will get over—"

“She would be a moron to stay married to you,” Naobito cut off. "Y/N and your unborn child deserve more than to have a public disgrace like you in the household."

Right. Had he not been reminded, Naoya would've forgotten that he had lied to his father about your pregnancy, too. His hands grew clammy where they still seized his father’s wrist.

“There"—a cough—"there is no child,” Naoya blurted out, determining to rip all bandaids off in one go.

Naturally, his father became perplexed.

“Excuse me?” His hold loosened just enough for Naoya to gasp properly for his next breath.

“Y/N is not pregnant,” Naoya repeated, his voice hollow with resignation. “During our last family dinner, I only said that because I wanted to please you.”

The older Zenin became still, appalled by the younger one's bravery to say those words. For a moment, Naoya braced himself for another physical blow before his father released him, shoving Naoya backward such that he stumbled.

“If you weren’t so disappointing, there would be no need for you to lie to me,” Naobito pointed out coldly. "Not only to me, but also your wife, your colleagues, and your shareholders on matters about your family, your marriage, or your commitment to the company. If Toji had not brought this to the media's attention, how much longer would you have manipulated the truth for your benefit?"

There he went again.

"I don't understand," Naoya protested, unable to contain his frustration any longer. "Toji doesn't belong in this family anymore! Why do you keep talking about him? Father, you forced him to leave earlier this year, citing his threat to our family and company's reputation."

"You're the one to talk!" Naobito shot back. "At least Toji has the brain that you utterly lack." Before the younger man could react, the Chairman had already turned on his heel. "I have made my decision."

His decision?

A confused Naoya watched his father head for the exit.

"Wait, Father...!"

"Enough!" The infuriated man raised a hand right as he neared the door, a warning for him to not speak further. "Our discussion has concluded. Effective immediately, Toji Fushiguro has been re-instated as the Zenin Heir and CEO."

Instantly, Naoya slumped forward in disbelief.

Even as the older man disappeared, the room appeared to spin dangerously. Toji Fushiguro...re-instated? As the heir and CEO?

Naobito Zenin could never make up his mind, now could he? In Naoya's head, this must be some cruel joke.

Ever since he comprehended his ability to bend fate to his will, he had promised himself to fight tooth and nail to defend the (very rightful!) position that he worked hard to earn. He had disposed of his cousin through slander, he had to put up with shitty corporate politics, and, hell, he had to even marry you!

Some may label Naoya's current negative publicity as irredeemable, but he held hope the situation would normalize once the steam blew over.

With these thoughts in mind, Naoya regained his balance and rushed out as well. "Father!"

However, by the time he reached beyond the doors, Naobito Zenin was no longer there. Even his secretary could not be found as, instead, two imposing figures stood by the desk where his assistant should be. Naoya didn't recognize them. The men were tall and well-built, their muscled arms and thighs visible despite the fabric that covered their tattooed skin.

"Nice to meet you," one started after the long silence. "I am Eso and this is my younger brother Kechizu."

A stumped Naoya frowned.

"May...I help you?"

"No," the other answered nonchalantly, "because we are here to knock you out."

"Wha—"

And Naoya's vision went dark.

last chapter || next chapter

end notes: Note that Eso and Kechizu are Choso's younger brothers in JJK. (Both are not completely human in canonverse, but we shall suspend beliefs.) Also, I cannot explain the satisfaction as I wrote about Naoya and his mistress finally getting wrecked! Talk about justice being served! There were many ways these scenes could have played out, but I strategically chose Tsumiki and Naobito as the agents in the discussions. Freed from corporate America handcuffs, I plan to post again soon. Love you all!

[toweringclam]

Hot on the heels of my last list, here's my ranking of how good the Sinners are in bed

12. Gregor

Don't. Forbidden. Not allowed. No sex for bug man. Theoretically he's fine, but the risks of spontaneous mutation are too great.

11. Yi Sang

Maybe he's on the ace spectrum. Maybe he's just super depressed. Either way, he's not interested. He'll gladly read poetry with you, but physical contact isn't on the table.

10. Faust

Before you even get started, you'll notice that she's 100% checked out. Total dissociation. It's not trauma or anything, probably. She's just distracted by the group chat. Even if you can get her in the moment, it's gonna be super awkward knowing every Faust in every universe is judging your performance.

9. Sinclair

Is he even old enough?

Okay...so, i just confirmed he's 20. That said, I doubt he has ever even fooled around with anyone. He has enthusiasm, but that's about it. He'll fumble around for a while, apologize, and eventually, out of desperation, try that one thing he heard on the schoolyard (to disastrous results).

8. Ryōshū

She knows what she's doing...unfortunately. She's not one to ease you into things. DESOS (deep end sink or swim). You're not walking out of this intact. There will be scars, both physical and psychological. Don't stick it in crazy, is what I'm saying.

7. Outis

Outis is the exact opposite problem from Ryōshū. Super vanilla, missionary only. Thinks a light slap on the rear is "getting freaky." The only thing that puts her at the top of the "don't" half of the list is that sex is actually happening and no one is going to therapy over it.

6. Rodion

Is it possible to fuck sarcastically? She's good but she waaay oversells it. You're barely moving and she's throwing her head back and moaning like a porn star. It makes you super self-conscious.

5. Don Quixote

Like Rodion, but a bottom and sincere about it. You barely have to do anything, and she's completely incoherent with lust. She's had three orgasms before you get your pants off. The only problem is, with all that screaming and crying and squirming and begging, there's not a whole lot that she can actually do for you. Hey, at least one of you is having the time of their life.

4. Heathcliff

An attentive and passionate lover who is gonna make you feel special. Though he tends to be maddeningly gentle, there's still a hunger underneath the surface. Give him permission and he can really unleash the beast.

3. Ishmael

A dominant and assertive lover who knows what she wants and is going to get it. She likes some fight too, so you're both gonna walk away with scratches and bruises (though nothing like with Ryōshū). She's also excellent in the aftercare, very affectionate and snuggley. I could probably swap her and Heathcliff, so this was a matter of personal taste.

2. Hong Lu

He has memorized every single book on the subject. He knows things that you can't even imagine. His empathy means he knows exactly what you need before you even know it, and he can perform perfectly. The only drawback is that, despite his vast knowledge and flawless technique, it's still kinda rote and performative. Hell of a performance, though.

1. Meursault

Mersault.

[inazumaeleven-headcanon-space]

Ok. You know what? Thats enough.

ITS ANGST TIME

And since inazuma japan is in my top 3 teams ever in ie.

Here are 20 headcanons about what each Inazuma Japan player struggles with!

1. Endou Mamoru:

He struggles with overworking himself, often pushing his body beyond its limits during training and games. This results in minor injuries that he hides from the team.

2. Gouenji Shuuya:

Gouenji deals with chronic knee pain from years of high-intensity training, which he manages, but he hides it from everyone even if the pain is very strong

3. Kidou Yuuto:

Kidou struggles with insomnia due to his perfectionism and overthinking strategies, often staying awake late into the night worrying about the team. He takes pills but he sometimes forgets and he just ends up tired as fuck.

4. Kazemaru Ichirouta:

Kazemaru has exercise-induced asthma, which he carefully manages during matches but occasionally flares up when he overexerts himself.

5. Kabeyama Heigorou:

Kabeyama has low self-esteem, stemming from being underestimated by others, despite his strong defensive skills. He often questions his value to the team.

6. Kurimatsu Teppei:

He has anxiety in high-pressure situations, which sometimes causes him to second-guess himself on the field. This led to many panic attacks before matches

7. Tachimukai Yuuki:

Tachimukai struggles with imposter syndrome, feeling like he can never live up to Endou's legacy as a goalkeeper. He feels terrible when he cant help everyone around him.

8. Fudou Akio and Someoka Ryuugo.

Fudou and Someoka deal with anger management issues. For Fundou it stem from unresolved family trauma and tor Someoka abandonment issues. Both of them channel much of this frustration into their gameplay because of this they are often aggressive for no reason.

9. Tsunami Jousuke:

Tsunami has seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and becomes noticeably less energetic during colder months, longing for the ocean and sunlight.

10. Fubuki Shirou:

He struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from his past, especially regarding his family. Certain triggers (like loud noises or screaming) can leave him momentarily withdrawn.

11. Sakuma Jirou:

Sakuma has migraines, which are sometimes brought on by stress or overexposure to noise during games.

12. Domon Asuka:

Domon struggles with guilt over his past actions, particularly the betrayal of his friends at Teikoku. He occasionally isolates himself when those feelings resurface.

13. Ichinose Kazuya:

Ichinose deals with chronic pain in his legs because of his accident, which still acts up on particularly strenuous days. But un like Gouenji he isnt realy ashamed of that and calls himself grandpa.

14. Kogure Yuuya:

Kogure has undiagnosed ADHD, which makes it hard for him to focus during long strategy meetings, though his impulsivity makes him quick to act in-game.

15. Hiroto Kiyama:

Hiroto struggles with survivor’s guilt after the destruction of the orphanage, leading him to feel like he always has to prove his worth.

16. Rika Urabe:

Rika has body image issues, often comparing herself to others and feeling self-conscious, despite her outgoing personality.

17. Hijikata Raiden:

Hijikata struggles with joint pain, particularly in his shoulders, from his aggressive defensive playing style.

18. Afuro Terumi:

Afuro deals with perfectionism, feeling immense pressure to always be composed and flawless, which sometimes takes a toll on his mental health.

19. Tobitaka Seiya:

Tobitaka has lingering trust issues from his time in a gang, making it difficult for him to fully open up to his team mates.

There will be more cause i love angst ;3;

md's fun silly little top 10(ish) arts of 2024!*

*pretend once again that there's a fun cute doodled banner here (i forgor about it again)

been dealing with major creative burnout for like. half of this year lmao so i have not been drawing anywhere near as much as i wish i had but! perhaps that is all the more reason to look back at the hits i managed so it's time for a top 10 15 best (.... or faves.... this is subjective and i may be biased....) drawings of the year!

15: self-portrait if we're being really honest and vulnerable tonight i actually. don't really like how this drawing looks anymore. it's here purely for sentimental reasons

14: heatstroke!britt... uhhh. yknow. she just. yeah

13: tbosas!sebklaine? i don't actually love the final result tbh but. it's fine i think? bella likes it so that's the most important thing

12: primary colours furtana <3 i'm so biased towards them that i almost ranked this wayyyy higher ngl (it's at like. #8 to me personally)

11: collette jones the loml <3333 non-glee art on this blog??? isn't that wild lol (she momentarily broke me out of art block and also i am deeply in love with her so. that's why she's here)

10: elphie!santana :) i am actively chomping at the bit to make more glozverse art u have no idea it'll be so fun if that actually happens

9: good game <33 i'm actually such a slut for a vibe piece did u guys know that? putting one song on loop and then going wild with the lighting >>>>>

8: mermay brittana! arguably this should be much higher bc those wide water shots came out surprisingly good considering i haven't really drawn water in a hot minute but. i'm bad at ranking my own art lol

7: uht in suits!!! i mean. i think this is self-explanatory. u guys get it (i've seen all ur tags)

6: mistletoe kiss <3 the agony of leaving this out of the top 5... maybe it's just recency bias but i think it's sooo pretty i've missed drawing them

5: furtana my trio of all time <3 this one gets a top 5 placement for being a banger despite also being a big style experiment. i would die for those kids

4: after a long day... so. this one inexplicably became a hit post. and like i kinda get bc it's cute and whatever but also?? how did that happen lmao of all the posts to blow up i was Not expecting it to be a vb au thing (i am v grateful that it did tho. they deserve it <3) (at least one more vb au comic will appear eventually)

3: go for it, santana!! thank god i redid it bc the original wip really wasn't giving lol but. it ended up looking so good. put my whole mdussy into that

2: vb au brittana (wedding edition) ougfjghjf i'm actually still insane over this one.... vb au wedding save me fr... alexa blast lovelight by abba on loop pls and thanku

1: vb au brittana (but the pride month edition) <333 can we just. can we take a moment. not to suddenly gas myself up bc obviously this isn't a flawless drawing but like.... the background and all the little details and the poses?? all the lil easter eggs i snuck in there for fun? this is like. objectively my best drawing of the year. i love them so so much

[ntaras]

Would you be willing to speak of this OC you added to the Lin Kuei brothers' dynamic? (Just kidding, you have no choice. 🫴)

HI i’d love to talk about her!!! i’ve been purposefully quiet about her because i’ve been making some changes to her + waiting to finish writing a fic about her 

but because you give me no choice i’ll talk about her

i’ll talk about her in context of her role in the new era because that’s what i’m really currently focused on in regards to her. that and her role in the previous timeline(s) are currently to much of a mess to coherently write about because i’m reworking her previous roles 

ANYWAYS. her name is luna which i did take from the “look to la luna” easter egg because 11 year old me wanted her name to somehow directly reference something in mortal kombat. she is kuai liang’s daughter even though i do view/headcanon kuai liang as someone who would not have kids, but i think it’s fun to bring that element into their relationship. 

the usual backstory for her goes that when kuai liang was a teenager he met a girl named nariyaana (whom i mostly refer to as yaana) and their relationship can honestly be described as a very quick-paced love because they were both so young when pursuing each other. like had they not met when younger, they would never be together because their relationship is solely based on them being young. so far in every timeline yaana has died during childbirth, resulting in kuai liang being a single dad and that moment marking the change from his youthful naivety and growing into the mature man we usually see him as. 

in mk12 before he became the god of fire and was still making his own timeline, liu kang made sure kuai liang and yaana would meet so luna could be born, but what he didn’t decide was when luna would be born. one of the things that frustrated me about kuai liang in mk12 was how he was already treated as a character dealing with so many inner demons and very quickly became this wise and flawless leader, so luna’s inclusion allows me to dump a whole bunch of hardships onto him that make him more tolerable for me. and one of those hardships is the quick and rushed love he had with yaana, resulting in her pregnant and unfortunately dying in childirth at 16 and him bieng a father at 16 (i also decided on doing that because ik the characters are meant to be on the younger side, so making him a teen dad was the route i went with trying to make him as young as i could when the actual story would happen). 

ik cryomancer used to be established as something that was able to be harnessed at an older age (with the exception of the ice brothers and frost), but for mk12 i’m establishing that it’s something that begins to develop at a younger age. i’m still unsure what to do with pyromancy but the idea i’m going with is that it’s something that can very rarely develop in cryomancers instead of cryomancy. 

what happened with luna is that her powers were not showing at all and as she grew older and past the age cryomancy develops (and she showed no signs of pyromancy) it was assumed that she didn’t get her father’s genes of either cryomancy or pyromancy. but eventually at around 10 years old she reveals to bi-han that she does have cryomancy (albeit developed very late and a weaker form of cryomancy), and at that moment bi-han saw potential in her and became her mentor and eventually choose her to be his heir to the lin kuei. 

before i get into the dynamic she has with the brothers (her father and uncles) i need to establish the most important thing about her is her inner powers and her physical body. the reason why her cryomancy developed so late and is weak is because her body is meant for someone who has pyromancy, but she was born with cryomancy. her body is constantly struggling to keep up with itself, but i’ll get more into that in a bit because that’s like one of the most important factors to her relationship with her family. 

bi-han is luna’s mentor, and he chose that role himself after she revealed her cryomancy to him. and the reason he chose to be her mentor is because he 1. Saw potential in her and 2. wanted to build her up to become something greater than the current lin kuei. her issues with her cryomancy and her body already pose a tough a life for her but bi-han’s insertion into her life as her mentor makes things worse for her, as he’s really tough on her. 

bi-han himself was mostly trained by his dad, so a lot of methods bi-han uses are from his dad. BUT the thing with bi-han is that he is also trying to further himself from his father and teach luna differently, but luna still experiences the same harshness bi-han experienced through his own training with his father. it plays with the idea that cryomancy just inherently causes not just physical pain, but a specific isolation that no one else can understand. because of this (and for other reasons) luna struggles making connections with other people and forms a unique connection with bi-han that she cannot form with her own father.

it’s eventually why she chose to stay with bi-han rather than flee with kuai liang and tomas during the story. her inherit cryomancy bound her to bi-han while also she felt like she lost a sense of who she was and felt guilt for having something that sevrerd her relationship with her dad, so it was easier to let him go rather than go with him. 

her physicality (which is constantly causing her pain) is her father’s, while her inner self (which is also constantly causing her pain) is bi-han’s. she’s kind of like the physical representation of the dispute between the two brothers. just like her body cannot naturally keep up with herself, she cannot handle being stuck between her family’s war without it causing immense confusion with herself.  

that’s the most condensed summary i can offer because other wise you would be getting a 100k word response from me lmao. but thank you for asking!!!!!!!!! i adore luna and i can only appreciate mk12 because of her

Fave shows tag game

Rules: List 5 favourite shows (in no particular order) and answer questions accordingly.

Life on Mars

Good Omens

Mad Dogs

Loki

Psych

@loki-is-my-kink-awakening Thank you so much for the tag lovely!! Putting my answers to the questions behind the cut 😊

1. Who is your favourite character in 2?

Oh no not this😅 Don't wanna start off totally indecisive but In all honesty Aziraphale and Crowley are such a package deal I've never been able to decide who I liked more so both it is!

2. Who is your least favourite character in 1?

Probably Frank Morgan since he's meant to give everyone the creeps and totally untrustworthy but if we're talking main cast then Ray because everyone else is just too good ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

3. What's your favourite episode of 4?

Episode two THE beloved my one and only 🥺💖 12/10 would gladly watch Owen and Tom sit around chatting and mirroring the cafeteria vibes either as Lokius or themselves for the rest of my days

4. What is your favourite season of 5?

Gotta be S2!! All the earlier seasons are gold so was very tempted by the latter half of S3 but S2's like a tour de force

5. What's your favourite relationship in 3?

Baxter and Quinn would an obvious one since John and Phil are married in every role and this is no exception but the dynamic between Baxter and Rick is so weirdly fascinating?? They just clash so instantly, usually to great disaster but will never stop themselves or learn from their mistakes, absolutely obsessed tbh

6. Who is your anti relationship in 2?

I don't really have one?? If pressed I wasn't interested in Anathema and Newt being shoved together for no real reason or the implication of ending up with someone because you're told but I don't have any active dislike for them or their pairing

7. How long have you watched 1?

Well I was pretty late to pick the show up and watched for the first time around three years ago, have since rewatched the entire series at least 5 times in full, and various clips more times than I could ever count lol

8. How did you become interested in 3?

Thank my url namesake, lol. Truly the most stunning TV experience start to finish I've had with a flawless all star cast and just criminally underrated show in general!!

9. Who is your favourite actor in 4?

🤣🤣 Feel as if I've walked right into this one and y'all don't even need to hear the answer but that would be Owen Wilson, whose take on Mobius has honestly been life changing for me 💖

10. Which show do you prefer 1, 2 or 5?

Oh man as much as I adore Psych I'm stuck between Life on Mars and Good Omens on this one... Oh this is the worst, okay, I'm going... Life on Mars! When taking the point of how much I love both main pairs out of the picture there are more elements of and characters in LoM I think I enjoy more

11. Which show have you seen more episodes of 1 or 3?

I've watched both fully through multiple times but Life on Mars just edges by with having more episodes so that'll be the one!

12. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?

Loki or Ravonna just for sheer proximity of how much time would be spent around Mobius lmao, literally my only primary consideration

13. How would you kill off your favourite character in 5?

Laughing so hard at this because ironically my favorite character in Psych has pondered many scenarios potentially resulting in his own death lmao. If necessary he'd probably prefer a blaze of glory gunfight but I don't think he'd mind being taken out by his favorite land mine going off?? "Sweet music. And then…nothin' but red mist." 😂

14. Would a 3/4 crossover work?

Not necessarily unless you mean would it work in terms of turning me on in ways I've yet to experience in this life because yes, yes, and YES 😳😳

15. Pair two characters in 1 that would make an unlikely, but strangely okay couple.

Idk if it would be the most unlikely but Sam and Chris would've been cute and I always enjoyed how earnestly Chris ended up admiring Sam's approach to the work and who he is as a person

16. Overall, which show has the better cast, 3 or 5?

I mean Mad Dogs is my favorite show of all time in part because of how talented the cast is in balancing their roles and I can't see that changing plus I'd follow those guys anywhere

Tagging @faylights, @too-funky, @safedistancefrombeingsmart, @symphony-in-silver, @colourfulwatson, @bebx, @linz33y, @michaelsheens, @veraynes-blog, @aleerax, @abitofboth, @eyeldritch, @lovingvincent, @seekers-who-are-lovers, @z-aliada, and @alternatively-undesignated as always only if y'all feel like it plus anyone else who wants to join! 💕

[its-haughty]

Girl with a big ass hammer gotta be one of my favourite things ever

Here is Ozzy!!! Also known as the role of “The Prophecy” in her world. She’s fated to go on a journey with The Hero, bein the silly goofy sidekick that carves a pathway to The Big Bad’s Lair. Although she may be a barbarian she’s a lot more than that. Her bloodline has divine knowledge and knows about The Prophecy/Fate of the world.

(More information under the cut)

Ozzy’s role in the story isn’t a bad thing, she gets to go on a fun adventure with The Hero so it’s a good thing! Right? …Well, it sorta sucks when your parents harbour potentially useful divine information/power and as a result getting them… killed in every timeline… and she’s unfortunate enough to remember what happens in previous resets/timeloops, having to repeat the same despair inducing grief over and over again? It’s come to the point that she doesn’t understand how to deal with her own emotions correctly. This girl is fucking 10 jesus christ

Ozzy: I’m 11 so shut the fuck up

She’s peppy, easily excitable and likes messing around! But she’s also a flawless liar. Not only because she’s good at keeping the cheerful act up but you wouldn’t suspect an 11 year old to lie to your face like that would you?

Her parents are demigods who have divine power of understanding The Prophecy in great detail. (trivia: Her father has the ability to cure people’s wounds, scars, etc with his words whilst Ozzy’s mother is blessed with enhanced hearing, being more aware of possible dangers or threats) - if you haven’t guessed, Ozzy and her parents are based on the three wise monkeys!!

If she lived in the modern world she would fucking love minions i’m so sorry

Ozzy is scarily strong. She can lift that big ass hammer without a sweat. People think it’s not very heavy but it is HEAVY (for reference, Hans wouldn’t be able to hold it lol)

(She soooo gets adopted by Billy and Hans don’t worry)

No extras this time :((

[crystal-methionine]

It’s time for my annual post about Eurovision and then disappearing from here for another year. So behold my rankings for the 2023 edition:

1. Finland 🇫🇮 - Cha Cha Cha by Käärijä

Oh Finland. So close to winning but a deserved 🥈. I wholly think that this song was a bit more original and stands out compared to Tattoo, but we all knew once Loreen was chosen by Sweden the the queen of Eurovision would take the crown.

2. Spain 🇪🇸 - EAEA by Blanca Paloma

5 pts. BITCH SERIOUSLY???!!! This was a masterclass of vocal performance with a touch of tradition, modernity, and ethnic music. Blanca killed it and the performance was so encapturing. I did not look away once. And then Europe have her only 5 pts (last place). I’m usually anti-jury but they at least put her 9th (could have been higher but better than fuckin last)

3. Sweden 🇸🇪 - Tattoo by Loreen

Way deserved 🥇. I listen to this and belt in the car. It was my #1 a good bit constantly switching between it and Finland. I remember thinking in the semi, what the point of even having the contest was bc she already won after performing. I do hate pulling the it’s Loreen card, but honestly when has she ever done wrong?? Perfectly fine with her winning it all.

4. Armenia 🇦🇲 - Future Lover by Brunette

Underrated imo. Also the dance break. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor in the semi. Vocally flawless both times. Amazing staging to boot. I understand this wasn’t everybody’s cup of tea. However, I think merit should have been awarded more.

5. Iceland 🇮🇸 - Power by Diljá

As already shown with Spain, we can’t have all the nice things can we, Europe? Vocal perfection. Rich gritty vocals and delicate. Is the song the best song lyrically, no. But the amount of performance prowess Diljá performed and stayed on point vocally was literally mind blowing. I knew she wasn’t going to qualify, but I so wanted her to. She deserved it more over some other countries *cough Poland*. The good news was she didn’t seem to care much and had a good time from what I was seeing.

6. Serbia 🇷🇸 - Samo Mi Se Spava by Luke Black

Like Armenia, I fully understand this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. This is one of my personal favorites that I may repeat once or twice if it comes on my playlist. The last minute of the song is my hype jam. The performance was good. I’ll agree to that there were better performers, but I have to rank the song this high given my replay count.

7. Israel 🇮🇱 - Unicorn by Noa Kirel

Is it my favorite, no. Do I hate the lyrics at times? Yes. It makes me think it’s supposed to be a track for a My Little Pony movie or something. Did the performance slap? Yes. She killed it, and I have to give props when they are due. Definitely ok with it in top 5.

8. Italy 🇮🇹 - Due Vite by Marco Mengoni

Is it a regular ye ole classic male ballad from Italy? Yes. Do I care? No. Did I love the performance? Yes? Would I break up with my partner and move to Italy and be with him? Absolutely (sorry babe, he’s so hot and if you had watched, you’d understand). Marco like in 2013 was vocally amazing and we had emotion. Idk what the trampoline people in the back were for, but tbh I didn’t pay them attention bc I was watching Marco.

9. Australia 🇦🇺 - Promise by Voyager

This song when it came out was my #1 until Cha Cha Cha and Tattoo came out. So happy they got a good result. They deserved it. Could have done better televote, but this year I agreed more with juries for the majority of the songs.

10. Slovenia 🇸🇮 - Carpe Diem by Joker Out

Oh you silly boys. You are the Miss Congeniality for sure. And on top of that, you should have been top 10. The performance was so fun and genuinely enjoyable. Vocally, they did well. I just fear that Slovenia always gets overlooked by everyone and that was why they stayed right side of the board this year.

11. Lithuania 🇱🇹 - Stay by Monika Linkyte

Lyrically felt and amazing voice. Glad she got her solo moment and just out of top 10. Loved the performance and she was so silly behind Finland all evening. Made me like her more.

12. Norway 🇳🇴 - Queen of Kings by Alessandra

Juries wtf? Why was this so low? She always did fairly well (maybe some whistle tones iffy). Glad she got a lot of televote points. Deserved top 10. I think for me it’s just I have heard it so many times that it’s not as impactful anymore.

13. Czechia 🇨🇿 - My Sister’s Crown by Vesna

I wasn’t sure vocally about this watching before the show concerts. However, they pulled it together though and the semi performance had me going. Deserved top 10. Well done ladies.

14. France 🇫🇷 - Évidemment by La Zarra

Vocally good. Performance was captivating. Idk why it was so low. It was quintessentially French, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

15. Austria 🇦🇹 - Who the Hell is Edgar? by Salena and Teya

I thought this was too weird off the bat, but it grew on me. Hearing the crowd do the Poes was fun and glad they seemed to enjoy themselves. I get what the song is about, but idk if others missed it. Maybe that’s why it was low on televote??

16. Portugal 🇵🇹 - Ai Coraçao by Mimicat

Yes yes yes. Portugal did everything they should have always, which is authenticity. Mimicat was a joy to watch sashay around the stage in her feather skirt. Stole my heart for sure.

17. Latvia 🇱🇻 - Aīja by Sudden Lights

Oh Latvia. I’m so sorry you were in the semi of death. I think you’d have qualified otherwise. Very nice song and good performance. Definitely was brought to life more live than studio cut. Keep going this direction please.

18. UK 🇬🇧 - I Wrote a Song by Mae Muller

Song is good but I think vocals let it down slightly. Glad UK is in a good direction given the last 2 years. Keep it up.

19. Estonia 🇪🇪 - Bridges by Alika

I can’t dock this song for anything besides just personal opinion. It’s not that I was bored with it but I just liked others more. But live, she nailed everything and so I understand top 10 for her. Good job Estonia.

20. Germany 🇩🇪 - Blood and Glitter by Lord of the Lost

Look at me putting Germany in a non-last 5 overall position. What is this universe? Tbh it wasn’t high on my list until tonight. They killed it on the stage and rocked it out. Idk why it was last but at least it wasn’t 0 points again so hey improvements???

21. Albania 🇦🇱 - Duje by Albina and Fam

Just like Portugal, authentic. I’m a sucker for ethnic songs and while it wasn’t on my radar until the live shows, I’m glad it did after. Happy they qualified.

22. Georgia 🇬🇪 - Echo by Iru

NQ? Really?? This was so impactful vocally, visually. I don’t get it but truth be told, I still have no idea what the lyrics are. Idk if it was accent or what. But I don’t really care. So beautiful and passionate. Georgia, keep this up even if it was a NQ this time.

23. Belgium 🇧🇪 - Because of You by Gustaph

So this song is ok. I like the beat and the vogueing. I like the nod to ballroom. I think the lyrics are cliche and it sets something off in my brain where I can’t enjoy it like other people do. Idk what it is but glad they’re happy with the result.

24. Cyprus 🇨🇾 - Break a Broken Heart by Andrew Lambrou

Basic. Good but basic. Vocal iffy sometimes but a qualifier for sure.

25. Ukraine 🇺🇦 - Heart of Steel by Tvorchi

Glad they made it but the song is just ok. Elevated slightly by adding Ukrainian verse, but I would have liked more tbh. For a year celebrating Ukraine, I felt that the show did more than song in doing that imo. Czechia even did more tbh.

26. Moldova 🇲🇩 - Soarele si Luna by Pasha Parfeni

I prefer his 2012 song to this. Idk what is with the tribal influence, but I was so confused at the performance and the vocal was ok. At least it was enjoyable.

27. Netherlands 🇳🇱 - Burning Daylight by Mia and Dion

The studio was my #2 forever. It was so promising. Until I heard it live first. It was so bad. They fixed it, but I think they were kinda dead in the water already given how little their own people cared or wanted to promote them or the song, which is sad bc lyrically it was so relatable and felt by me.

28. Switzerland 🇨🇭- Waterguns by Reno Forrer

There’s nothing wrong with this song or him or his voice or the performance. I just was bored of it from the get go. I will merit his voice. It’s outstanding, but the song does nothing much for me. Would rather have had Latvia.

29. Denmark 🇩🇰 - Breaking My Heart by Reiley

I rather like this song. But only studio. The love was a struggle. Couldn’t seem to find the key for very long before losing it. May have simply been too high for his register. Either way, I enjoy it when on the playlist. Reminds me of the tracks for Heartstopper on Netflix.

30. Malta 🇲🇹 - Dance by The Busker

Is it bad? No. Is it good? No. Kinda middle ground. Would I dance to it? Yeah. Wasn’t too upset with the song. Just there.

31. Greece 🇬🇷 - What They Say by Victor Vernicos

Greece. We need to talk. I get wanting to fish for diaspora votes, but you have to qualify first. I don’t have anything against the song or the artist, but this was not putting the best foot forward. It gave Shawn Mendes wannabe and not Greek productions like we’ve seen in the recent years. It wasn’t broke. Put it back.

32. Ireland 🇮🇪 - We Are One by Wild Youth

You remember how U2 forced an album on us? This sounded like it was from that. I have nothing against the song bc I like Coldplay and U2, but come on Ireland. Surely you can do better than play it safe. Give us JR Eurovision level of taste. Give us Irish language and make a girl belt like a syren banshee.

33. Croatia 🇭🇷 - Mama ŠČ by Let 3

I am only putting this this high. I don’t get the hype or the reasoning. It’s weird in a not pleasant way. Parts are catchy so this is what I can give it.

34. Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 - Tell Me More by TuralTuranX

See Greece but Beatles instead of Shawn. Put it back. NOW.

35. San Marino 🇸🇲 - Like an Animal by Piqued Jacks

Take the lyrics away and the screaming at the end and it’s not bad music. Kinda reminds me of 1970-80s rock like Queen for a bit but bring back Achille.

36. Poland 🇵🇱 - Solo by Blanka

Just no. There I was minding my business and then all of a sudden, I hear this grating, irritating Bejba. I really didn’t like the song or her. Liking posts hating on fellow contestants in your national final. Immediate bottom even if you have a good song (see Armenia 2014).

37. Romania 🇷🇴 - DGT by Theodor Andrei

There weren’t many options for Romania this year tbh. Just unfortunately picked one where the song was just bad. Theodor can sing tho so give him a new song and act and would be higher on this list.

Group C Breakdown

Expected to move on: Spain, Japan

Expected to exit in group stage: Costa Rica, Zambia

Spain

FIFA Ranking: 7

Reputation: 

Spain has exploded in the last four years in the European arena, both with their National team and with their top club team, Barcelona. They have jumped six spots in the world ranking in the last four years and have had several big wins against other top-ten opponents. However, in late 2022, 15 of the country’s top female players withdrew from the squad in protest over the coach’s “dictatorial” and “abusive” behavior, and alleged that the coach had gotten the job via bribery and contacts, rather than qualifications. In playing without these fifteen players, Spain has had inconsistent results. They beat an out-of-sorts USA team, but lost other games against similar opponents. Some of those fifteen players are included on the roster, and some are not. 

Player Pool:

A major portion of Spain’s roster plays in the country’s own league. The strong Barcelona team is led by striker Alexia Putellas, who has won the last two FIFA Ballon d’Or Feminin awards, which is given annually to the best player in the world. They have several standouts on each line, including : Irene Paredes on Defense, Putellas and Aitana Bonmatti in the midfield, and Jenni Hermosa at Forward.

2019 WWC performance:

Spain finished second in their group, losing to Germany but tying China, leading to a better result than many anticipated. They were unfortunate to come up against the USA in the round of sixteen and were eliminated, but it was a close 2-1 loss.

Japan

FIFA Ranking: 11

Reputation:

Japan had an incredible run in 2011-2015, reaching the final vs USA in the 2011 World Cup, 2012 olympics, and 2015 World Cup, but since then they have gradually lost their edge. Many of the players during that period have retired, and newer players haven’t found the same success. They are the highest ranked active Asian team and so far in 2023 have kept up with top 10 teams, but often couldn’t find a game-winning goal. Japan is known for their flawless technique and their ability to hold the ball, and recently they have demonstrated the ability to win the ball with a high press, leading to a high-possession style of play.

Player Pool:

Japan has a solid core of players, led by Captain Saki Kumagai, one of the last hold-outs from the 2011-2015 team. About half of the team plays in Japans’ domestic league, but the rest of the players play in many different leagues–Hina Sugita and Jun Endo in the USA, Yui Hasegawa in England, and youngster Hamano in Sweden. Hamano is 18, but has already signed a multi-year contract with English powerhouse Chelsea before being loaned to the Swedish league. This club diversity means that players are familiar with and can adapt to different playing styles.

2019 WWC performance:

Well, they made it through the group stage, then lost in the round of sixteen to the Netherlands. AFter not making it to the 2016 Olympics, there was already a sense of unease about this former powerhouse team’s potential, and even more confidence was lost in them after this World Cup. They have shown that they still have talented players, but it seems they are missing something that had kept them going through their dynastic reign in 2011-2015.

Costa Rica

FIFA Ranking: 37

Reputation: 

This is not Costa Rica’s first World Cup, it is their second after qualifying 2015 but missing 2019. In 2015 they turned heads with their resilience, holding much higher ranked teams to ties in the group stage. Despite their 2015 performance, Costa Rica has only been able to achieve results against similarly or lower ranked opponents, and will face stiff competition against Japan and Spain. Much of their success is attributed to the guidance of coach Amelia Valverde, who was the youngest coach in the 2015 World Cup at age 24, and won FIFA world women's coach of the year in 2016.

Player Pool:

The most well known player from Costa Rica is American Club soccer star Raquel “Rocky” Rodriguez, who helped the Portland Thorns win the 2022 NWSL championship last year. Rocky will share the frontline with Melissa Herrera, who plays for Bordeaux in France.

2019 WWC performance:

Did not qualify

Zambia

FIFA Ranking: 81

Reputation: 

Zambia is a World Cup debutante, meaning that this is their first World Cup, although their first major tournament was the 2020 Olympics. They did not make it out of their group stage, with their only positive result being a 4-4 tie against China. They let in a lot of goals at the Olympics, but also surprised opponents with intense scoring drives. In the last friendlies before the world cup, they pulled out a stunning win over #2-ranked Germany. 

Player Pool:

Zambia has a clear headliner in Barbra Banda, who is the first player in Olympic history to score back to back hat-tricks in Olympic soccer games, the first in a 10-3 loss and the second in the 4-4 tie with China. She plays internationally in China and led that league in goals in the 2020 season. The remaining team members are young, all under the age of 25. Without any World Cup experience and with tough opponents, it will be difficult for this team to move on.

2019 WWC performance:

Did not qualify

[thebookofnehemiah]

"The Oboe." From the Book of Nehemiah, "the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Lions that Lay," 13: 14-18.

The Nsh, like Jesus started shitting kittens because people were selling religion on the Sabbath day. This does not mean we cannot go to church or temple on Sunday, nor does it mean you cannot sit like a lump all day if that is what you want. It means Shabbat is the moment a noble habit becomes a way of life. God told the Israelites, "after this, you shall do no work."

Continuous, rote pondering of an illiterate approach to the Torah is not the desired result as the Nsh says: Tyre, "an inclining rock" is not enough. We see and are victimized by walking talking rocks all day long, the numnutz that talk about Jesus like He walks down the street, converses and socializes and tells everyone everywhere He goes how much He loves them and it is our God given duty to ensure no one disbelieves this imaginary fantasy figment is doing anything but that. Except no one has seen this for thousands of years. Not even once.

Nehemiah calls stuff like this "a load". Loads are 76, או, O, "either or", "this is real, that is not."

"Together with the enclitic particle δε (de), which indicates a mild objection or simple transition, the various forms of the article may form demonstrative pronouns like οδε (hode) or τηδε (tede) or ταδε (tade), and so on.

These words mean "these [things]" or "this [item]" and refer to a thing or person last mentioned (Luke 10:39) or introduces whatever follows (Revelation 2:1) and occur 11 times in the New Testament; see full concordance. This demonstrative pronoun corresponds to the demonstrative pronoun ουτος (houtos), meaning this or that."

The biggest infraction man engages in by selling loads is the belief a new world is coming just because. The new world will come when man grows weary of suffering he brings on himself at the same time he finally implements flawless government.

We do not need 14,000 nuclear warheads, millions of conscripts, Pro-Life, greenhouse gases, plastics, processed food, guns, perverts in the White House, none of it. Yet these things persist. If one goes to church or temple it should be because one wonders about the glories of God and wants to trust His sages have rightly guided us through the drafting of scripture. Clergy is supposed to sell the ideals contained within, it is their jobs to do so but not without properly explaining Shabbat, the end of all manmade causes of trouble and suffering:

14 Remember me for this, my God, and do not blot out what I have so faithfully done for the house of my God and its services.

15 In those days I saw people in Judah treading winepresses on the Sabbath and bringing in grain and loading it on donkeys, together with wine, grapes, figs and all other kinds of loads. And they were bringing all this into Jerusalem on the Sabbath. Therefore I warned them against selling food on that day. 

16 People from Tyre who lived in Jerusalem were bringing in fish and all kinds of merchandise and selling them in Jerusalem on the Sabbath to the people of Judah. 

17 I rebuked the nobles of Judah and said to them, “What is this wicked thing you are doing—desecrating the Sabbath day? 

18 Didn’t your ancestors do the same things, so that our God brought all this calamity on us and on this city? Now you are stirring up more wrath against Israel by desecrating the Sabbath.”

The Values in Gematria is

v. 14: Remember me, O God. The Number is 7033, עלג, aleg, a stammering dog.

 "The masculine noun עלה ('aleh), meaning leafage (Genesis 3:7, Isaiah 1:30).

Eg, from Egypt, also aig, which leads us to a tragos, "a tragic male goat:

The noun αιξ (aix) means goat, and usually refers to a she-goat, and as such is the companion of τραγος (tragos), billy goat (see below). Our noun αιξ (aix), goat, stems from the Proto-Indo-European root "heyg- (1)", meaning goat. "

=

Recall after Adam and Evil tried to wrassle the snake, they hid behind fig leaves. Actions that produces leaves because one is inexperienced, silly, ridiculous, or superstitious instead of knowledge based are said to be "tragic" by the Holy Ghost.

v. 15: I saw people treading the winepress. I tried, more than once to attend synagogue. After the fourth or fifth time, I realized no one could explain why the Torah had 54 Parshiot, as a Lutheran this was unfamiliar to me but even the Rabbi could not explain this. I could not fathom the Jewish fascination with ham, boiling baby goats in milk, nor why they were so fuckin' rude to me all the time. So I decided not to go back.

On TV you can see Jewish people in black sack cloth with giant fur pelts on their heads, little kids in tall hats, and scads of others flaunting their outer confusion and inner torment. They do not understand the Torah. To misunderstanding the Torah is gigantic mistake. A lethal one.

Try this version. It is the only complete Torah in existence, it requires some word smithing still, but it will not lead you astray. I have called it a Tantra which means "to build a castle in the mind" for reasons explained in the following.

The Number is 11217, יאב‎יז‎, "the object of desire is the hand that moves."

God wants us to stretch for our hands, "to go into the world and find the Self."

Stretch forth your hands=1503, א'ךג, aberechag, "Abraham."

"The verb אבר ('br) means to be strong or firm, particularly in a defensive way (rather than offensive). The derived nouns אבר ('eber) and אברה ('ebra) refer to the pinion(s) that make up a bird's wings, which in turn means that the ancients saw avian wings as means to protect rather than to fly with (the signature trait of angels, hence, is not an ability to fly but a tendency to protect). The verb אבר ('abar) describes activities done with pinions, which is to fly or to protect. The adjective אביר ('abbir), meaning strong in a defensive way; protective.

Aham= fire of am, within.

= to realize the Self using the signature traits of the angels.

v. 16: People were selling fish in Jerusalem. Fish are cold. The Number is 8841, חחםא, hamma: "be exciting like a man, but sexy like an animal":

"The verb חמם (hamam) means to be hot or warm, and that usually in the physical sense (Exodus 16:21, Haggai 1:6). Sometimes it's used to describe a non-physical heat: determination (Psalm 39:3), non-sexual excitation (Isaiah 57:5), and sexual-excitation (of animals only - Genesis 30:38).

Its derivations are:

The masculine noun חם (hom), meaning heat (Genesis 8:22, Jeremiah 17:8).

The adjective חם (ham), meaning hot (Joshua 9:12, Job 37:17).

The feminine noun חמה (hamma), meaning heat, typically of the sun (Psalm 19:6). In poetic passages, this word is used as substitute for the word שמש (shemesh), meaning sun (Isaiah 24:23, Job 30:28).

The masculine noun חמן (hamman) and its plural form חמנים (hammanim), denoting small pillars used in idolatrous worship (Leviticus 26:30, Isaiah 27:9)."

Selling cold fish on the Sabbath is forbidden.

v. 17: What is this wicked thing you are doing? The Number is 6268, ו‎בוח‎ ‎, "an oboe."

"The closest equivalent would be the Hebrew word "ov" (אוב), which means a "spirit medium or a witch", often associated with feelings of adoration that can be misdirected towards a teacher or authority figure, rather than God. 

One needs the encouragement of the master, but eventually one must give up on the reassurances of the priest or rabbi and live an ethical, responsible, sensible way. Generations of human beings have entered sacred temples and done nothing but fuck things up. It would be nice if we stopped doing this. Especially since the scripture is explicit about more than one of our detrimental behaviors.

v. 18: Your ancestors did the same things and God sacked them. The Number is 10297, קבטז‎, cabtez, "as a thesis."

What is the Thesis? 302, "return, go back, and sit down."

We are supposed to leave home in search of self-actualization. After that, after the fruits of the actions are harvested, those which are Kosher and those which are not must be sorted out. Then one must return home and live happily without any issues at all.

There is no need for Jesus, or the Mitzvot, or bullshit after that. This is what the Torah says.

Hair Care Tips After Bridal Hair Treatment in Katraj

Bridal hair treatment is a transformative experience that prepares your hair for your big day, ensuring it looks flawless and stunning. However, once the festivities are over, it’s essential to maintain the health and beauty of your treated hair. Proper aftercare not only preserves the effects of the treatment but also keeps your locks radiant and strong for weeks to come. Here are some expert hair care tips to follow after your bridal hair treatment in Katraj.

1. Avoid Washing Your Hair Immediately

After a bridal hair treatment, your hair needs time to absorb the nutrients and settle into the desired style. Avoid washing your hair for at least 48 hours post-treatment. This allows the products used during the session to fully penetrate your hair and scalp, ensuring longer-lasting results.

2. Use Sulfate-Free Shampoos

Switch to a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to maintain the integrity of your treated hair. Sulfates can strip away natural oils and weaken the effects of the bridal treatment, leaving your hair dry and brittle. Opt for shampoos with nourishing ingredients such as argan oil, keratin, or biotin to keep your locks hydrated and healthy.

3. Condition Regularly

Conditioning is crucial to maintain the softness and shine of your hair. Use a quality conditioner suited to your hair type, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. This prevents dryness and ensures your hair remains manageable and smooth. If recommended by your stylist, include a leave-in conditioner or hair serum for added hydration.

4. Limit Heat Styling

Excessive use of heat tools like curling irons, straighteners, and blow dryers can damage your hair and undo the benefits of the bridal treatment. Minimize heat styling, and if you must use these tools, always apply a heat protectant spray beforehand. Opt for air-drying whenever possible to give your hair a break from heat exposure.

5. Protect Your Hair While Sleeping

Your hair can become tangled or frizzy while you sleep, especially if you move around a lot. Use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and keep your hair smooth and shiny. Alternatively, tie your hair loosely in a braid or bun to prevent tangling and breakage.

6. Incorporate Weekly Hair Masks

Deep-conditioning hair masks are a fantastic way to nourish your hair and maintain the effects of the bridal treatment. Use a mask once a week to restore moisture and keep your hair healthy. Choose masks with natural ingredients like coconut oil, aloe vera, or avocado for optimal results.

7. Avoid Harsh Chemicals

After your bridal hair treatment in Katraj, steer clear of harsh chemical treatments like coloring, bleaching, or perms for a few weeks. These processes can weaken your hair and interfere with the benefits of your bridal treatment. If you’re planning additional treatments, consult your stylist to determine the right timing.

8. Hydrate and Eat a Balanced Diet

Healthy hair starts from within, so ensure you’re staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and nutrients. Include foods like eggs, nuts, leafy greens, and fish, which are high in protein and essential fatty acids. This promotes strong, shiny hair and supports overall hair health.

9. Protect Your Hair From the Sun

Exposure to UV rays can damage your hair and fade any color treatments. Wear a hat or use a hair sunscreen spray when spending extended periods outdoors. This not only protects your hair but also helps maintain the vibrancy of your bridal look.

10. Schedule Regular Trims

Even with the best care, split ends can develop over time. Schedule regular trims every six to eight weeks to keep your hair healthy and free from split ends. This also ensures your hair remains fresh and polished long after your bridal hair treatment.

11. Follow Your Stylist’s Advice

Your stylist in Katraj knows your hair best and will provide specific aftercare instructions tailored to your treatment. Follow their advice regarding products, routines, and follow-up appointments to maximize the benefits of your bridal hair treatment.

Conclusion

Proper aftercare is key to preserving the effects of your bridal hair treatment in Katraj. By adopting a gentle hair care routine, using quality products, and protecting your hair from damage, you can enjoy luscious, healthy locks long after your wedding day. Remember, your hair is a reflection of your overall beauty, so treat it with the love and care it deserves.
