Ah, the Prismatic Rod - the Lower City's (and possibly Baulder's Gate as a whole's) finest purveyor of adult toys, novelties, costumes, and erotica. The colorful owner and shopkeep Rodrigo, a clever artificer with a phalloi familiar, keeps the place well stocked with all kinds of goodies (ask him about why he's here - it involves pissing off someone who gave him a sexual attraction to hornet's nests as comeuppance.) Tav and Karlach wanted to stop in for a lil something, so why not bring the whole damn crew:

Lae'zel and Astarion compare notes on costuming, she has opinions about durability and versatility. He learns new things about Gith every day.

Wyll and Shadowheart have their filthy book club, and have lots of opinions about all kinds of titles. They also have games like 'guess plot based on the title' and 'worst description of genitalia possible' ('Adult Beefswelling'* is the current top pick.)

Gale does love the beauty of magic in all it's many splendors.

Minsc has found the 'Jokes and Novelties' section and Jahira has seen quite enough for today.

Minthara** is surprisingly tolerant of topside commodities if they show decent attention to detail (Lae'zel "Chk, these could hardly damage a lone berbalang" Minthara "It is not about simply damage, dear Lae'zel - it is about inflicting the optimal amount of pain").

Halsin has no trouble with the offerings on show, certainly they're fun - but he has perfectly good hands, and a mouth, and various other body parts, this all just seems like gilding the lilly, you know?

Tav and Karlach find just what they're looking for. Their choices are beneath the cut:

Both go with variations of what is supposed to resemble a tiefling, more or less (Wyll wasn't kidding about the ridges). Tav's choice is more stylized and exaggerated (better for internal stimulation) and has about six inches of usable length. Karlach's is more literal (better for external) and has about seven inches. They both got lucky on color choices that amuse them.

*Frank Herbert - what the fuck.

** Sadly not in Tav's playthrough but she deserves this

Modern Astarion AU

Warnings for mentions of abuse, alcoholism, and hyper s3xuality

He was fashion designer (used to be a locksmith)

Cazador used to be his abuse partner and boss

He lives in a shitty little apartment he embarrassed about it being he acts like he has it all

Whenever anyone asks if they can hang out he says something like

“And have you stain my furniture?”

He got vampire but tattoos after quitting his job, now he’s a local tailor.

He wants to go to school for fashion (Cazador hired him with looking for credentials) and become some sort of influencer.

He wants a cat but knows he can’t afford to keep one.

Hasn’t spoken to his family in years because of Cazador they probably think he’s dead.

Barely eats, spends most of his time drinking away his sad thoughts. He mostly only eats with friends

Would probably own baldur’s gate 3 if it existed in this universe

He has hypersexuality due to trauma :(

Has had to have Gale, Shadowheart, or Jahria pick him so many times while he’s drunk on street corners.

Overall very sad boy :( but we love him<3

The difference between soul and asthetics

By me.

The drive towards success in a time where people have constant access to every form of talent possible, dissolving barriers not only socially but also in the minds of individuals has lead to a sad overlapping : Chameleons deliberately mimicking Insanity.

Intelligent people dressing up in the asthetics of derangement and retracing paths walked by true genre-defiant, listener-defiant masterpieces.

Jharia would fall under this category, a theaterkid playing beaten down dog with his album " A beginners guide to faking your own death"

Song after song you're beaten down by this feeling that the self-absorbed "cool" protagonist remains in control of the situation wether you like it or not, a blessed individual who knows he's blessed but chooses to act as if he wasn't.

A rich kid chilling at the suburbs

And yes,as it's hinted at in the album throughout all of it he knows the secrets of the universe, but even "the secrets" (if you can call the universal law of "cause and effect" a secret) cannot save his music from being Corny.

On the other hand we find will wood, the definition of a tortured artist who'd rather fight tooth and nail with his self,his emotions and the universe than...well,who knows? Do you?

One artist created the narrative like a child building a Lego castle, the other is dragged by its feet while clawing and mowing at the story being told.

I precisely believe that this differentiates a soulful creation from a product, the inevitability of it.

If martin escorcesse once said that marvel movies arent cinema,but Disneyland, I say that jahria is macdonalds in canada.

Will Wood is burger king in Manhattan.

Someday I'll elaborate on these thoughts,if you want

Nyege Nyege continue telling the story of African music with two upcoming releases through Nyege Nyege Tapes and HAKUNA KULALA imprints

Kampala, Uganda-rooted arts institution and tireless popularizers of contemporary African music, Nyege Nyege, have announced two new releases on both of their in-house labels. Electro Acholi Kaboom from Northern Uganda will be out via Nyege Nyege Tapes on September 12; the double LP (not a tape!) showcases the mid-aughts birth of a dance scene that reinterpreted the country’s traditional Acholi courtship songs. During times of civil war, resourceful producers turned to Fruity Loops to imitate the sounds of expensive-to-rent Larakaraka bands and create custom-made love jams for Ugandan newlyweds. Their productions quickly migrated from wedding halls to nightclubs, and a selection of some “hard-to-find classics of the genre�� forms this 15-track compilation. The second release (guess what: this one’s a tape) comes through HAKUNA KULALA, an imprint that focuses on the East African and Congolese electronic underground. Mushoro is the new EP by Congo-based Kampala exile Ray Sapienz, and it will be released on August 22. Full of mechanical, deconstructed Soukous and Kalindula, the album “breaks down traditional Congolese pop music into its constituent elements of dramatic vocals, fluid bass chords and dark and slowed-down […] synth melodies.” In related news, the 5th edition of Nyege Nyege’s festival will take place on September 5 - 8 at Nile Discovery Beach (Source of the Nile) in Jinja, Uganda. Besides performers from the two labels’ roster and graduates of Nyege Nyege’s arts residency program, the line-up will feature over 300 artists coming from 30 countries, with a heavy focus on Asia and the African Diaspora. Check out fragments of the upcoming releases, artwork, and tracklistings below: Electro Acholi Kaboom from Northern Uganda tracklisting: 01. Lady Grace Atim - Adoko Gwok 02. Baby Davlin - Can Lim 03.

On 27th March 1948, we lost our two hundred eighty-two years old sovereign state. Khalil Baloch

 (Current Balochistan)

Baloch nation observes 27th March as  Black day. Historically on 27th March 1948, Pakistan occupied Balochistan with the power of the military. In the occasion of the 27th March, Khalil Baloch, the chairman of Baloch National Movement said, “on 27th March 1948 Baloch nation lost two hundred eighty-two years old sovereign state after Pakistan invaded and occupied Balochistan on 27th March 1948.” Pakistan, in order to protect the vested interests of England and the West, occupied Balochistan and made it its colony.

 Khalil Baloch stated that 27th March has a long historical background. During Anglo-Afghanistan war, Baloch tribesmen incessantly attacked British troops. The British army was convinced that it would be impractical to establish its hegemony in the region without controlling Baloch nation. Consequently English under the command of Welshare attacked the capital of Balochistan “Kalat Meeri Palace” on 13th November 1839. The Khan of Kalat, Shaheed Mehrab Khan, firmly faced a four times larger army in the battlefield and embraced martyrdom.

 He added, mostly British controlled Balochistan through intrigues and agreements; hence, they always respected the sovereignty of Baloch state. During  British rule on the Indian subcontinent, they accepted Khan of Kalat as the real ruler of Balochistan. The historical agreements of 1841,1854,1862 and 1863 are proof of such claims.

 Chairman Khalil Baloch said that when Robert Sandeman was posted, he stated his forward policy by taking the advantage of strain relationships of several Sardars (Barrons) to Khan of Kalat, he pacified the parties, and on the other hand brought under the shadow of British India. In order to increase its influence on Afghanistan and Iran expanded the territories of British India, acquired Quetta, Chaghi and Naseerabad on lease through agreements with Khan of Kalat. As result by uniting these areas which he got through lease; created a Balochistan Agency  on 21 February 1877. Later on 18 November 1887 British Balochistan was established by adding some Pashtun areas which British government acquired through Gandamak Treaty on 26th May 1879 from Afghanistan.

 Khalil Baloch commented that due to the ignorance of Khan Kalat and rebellious nature of several Sardar a large chunk of Eastern Balochistan was annexed into British Balochistan, and Balochistan was divided through several Commissions. Khan of Kalat appointed Mohammad Ali Jinnah as the lawyer in order to assimilate all those territories which were under the control of British Government, and this paid lawyer of state of Balochistan became the pawn to occupied Balochistan.

 He said that Jalawan, Sarawan, Lasbella, Makran, Koh-e- Sulaiman, Kachi, Kharan and those areas which fall into British Balochistan were not separate entities, rather all were integrated parts of the state of Kalat. When British decided to leave Indian Subcontinent and sent Cabinet Mission to India for transferring the power to Indian, the lawyer of Balochistan Mr. Jinnah tabled the case of Balochistan to return the British Balochistan into the hand of state of Kalat. But the British had already decided to create a watchdog state in the region to protect their interests and Mohammad Ali became the best pawn for them. 

 British knew that without Balochistan, Pakistan would be a useless state. So initially intrigue were started to annex British Balochistan into Pakistan, and the power of deciding the future of British Balochistan were handed to Municipal Committee. Worst of all, Mohammad Khan Jogizai, the legislative member of British Balochistan, announced to attend the constitutional assembly of Pakistan, which was made an excuse to annex British Balochistan into Pakistan.

 Chairman Khalil Baloch said that Lasbella, Makran and Kharan were integral part of state of Kalat. The speeches of Mastung agreement in 1876 are the proof of this that these states were the parts of State of Kalat. Though at the time of partition Jam of Bela and Nawab of Kharan tried to part from the state of Kalat, but British Government rejected their demand. On 4th August 1947, Khan of Kalat asked to merge British Balochistan into State of Kalat before the viceroy of India Lord Mountbatten in Delhi in the presence of representatives of Muslim League. Though they could not reach in an agreement, but both Lord Mountbatten and the representatives of Muslim League agreed on the freedom of Balochistan, and accepted to discuss the issue of British Balochistan in next meetings. An agreement was made on the occasion which is known as Agreement of Jahria.

 He added, on 11th August 1947 Balochistan was declared as an independent sovereign state and formed its national assembly consisted of two House: Upper House and Lower House. Pakistan was established on 14th August 1947, when the representatives of Balochistan went to Karachi and discussed the issue of British Balochistan, then Mohammad Ali Jinnah asked the State of Kalat to join Pakistan. Jam Ghulam Qadir and Nawab Habib Ullah had clandestinely met with Jinnah before and expressed willingness to join Pakistan. Prior Jinnah were reluctant and rejected their enterprise because both states were the part of the State of Kalat. On 15 February 1948 in Dhadar, Khan of Kalat put forward Jinnah’s proposal to join Pakistan before the assembly. On 21st February Balochistan parliament once again rejected this idea, as result Jinnah were disappointed and handed over the issue to foreign ministry.

 Chairman Khalil Baloch commented that later on Jinnah backed from his position and on 17th March added Kech, Lasbella and Kharan into its territory illegally and opened the way for the occupation of Balochistan. Khan of Kalat protested against the annexation of these states, were paid no heed to his protest. On 26th March Pakistan dispatched its army and naval forces into Jewani, Pasni, Ormara and Kech, and its army entered into Kalat from Quetta. Consequently Balochistan was occupied on 27th March 1948.

 Chairman Khalil Baloch said that Baloch nation from the first day has been struggling against the occupation of Balochistan by Pakistan and today Baloch national struggle came forward as an organized movement before the world and has convinced the world that Balochistan is an occupied land.

 Chairman Khalil Baloch said that Baloch nation has sacrificed a lot for the national freedom of their motherland and which is continued unflaggingly. Today we are proud that Baloch national struggle instead of relaying on individualistic politics, is heading towards its destination by dent of organizational politics. And that day is not too far when the Baloch nation will get completely rid of the terrorist state of Pakistan.
