#salem #halloween #witches Discover the chilling history of the Salem Witch Trials with our informative and thought-provoking video. We take you back to colonial Massachusetts in 1692, chronologically dissecting the frightful series of hearings and persecutions that ended with 20 innocent individuals being executed on the grounds of witchcraft accusations. Explore the complex factors, including fervent religious beliefs, sustained social conflicts, financial challenges, and possible instances of mental illness, that contributed to this era of widespread panic and hysteria. Together, we analyze the role of Chief Justice William Stoughton's court practices that disregarded basic legal rights and heavily depended on spectral evidence. This video highlights the aftermath of this dark chapter, noting the governmental response and subsequent legal updates designed for safeguarding the rights of the accused. With us, learn about the recent breakthrough led by Prof. Tad Baker's team that shed light on the long-missing execution site linked to these trials. Understanding the enormous influence of the Malleus Maleficarum, a notorious treatise on witchcraft from the 14th Century, is key in this discourse. This influential document deeply impacted identifying practices, prosecution methods, and punitive measures during the trials. We acknowledge the Salem Witch Trials for serving as a historical reminder of the importance of tolerance, justice, and the treacherous impact of mass hysteria and religious extremism on a community.

in a perfect world frontiers would've leaned more heavily onto the elements of exploration and combat, taking the wonder rise of lyric wanted to create with the way it places the player into ancient ruins and abandoned facilities to learn more about them, and replicating the love that went into unleashed's werehog gameplay that gave us a fleshed out combo system and a competent beat-em-up. alas sega is a coward, and in this essay i will -
#soda offers you a can#admittedly rise of lyric doesn't exactly give you the lore it wants to because of Everything#i imagine having to rewrite the whole story last-minute for a game you know is a lost cause does not motivate you-#-to motivate you to create new lore that's in line with the new guidelines you have to follow#but it has the spirit still. RoL lets you explore these old places yourself and see everything that remains in them#it gives you material to work with and lets you fill in the blanks#it draws attention to these things and shows them to you and tells you hey! people were here once!#frontiers gives you structures but a funny pyramid isn't really enough on its own#it's all just weird buildings and structures and not much else. it's strange but simultaneously not enough to make you think#RoL gives you old machines and vast chambers filled with technology and dig sites#and those all have personality to them and they feel like something#frontiers's structures rarely feel like anything even if you know they're supposed to#they're neat but not much beyond that#and the combat is. fine. but it's no unleashed. and there's a reason people mod it all the time#frontiers has the building blocks for a game that combines several things i love but the execution falls short unfortunately and it pains m

To get good at telling stories... writing stories... one must... practice by writing stories ;-;
#rant#i tell u what i think id have functioned well in a wrbnovel publishing format. but i dont think#any good sites for that exist in english as of yet? (i think theres one but its contract is Yikes i heard)#but just like. the idea of publishing chapter ever 1-2 weeks until youre done. maybe 20 chapters maube 2000. maybr you never finish.#most of the chapters free and maybe idk you make some advertizing money on ads viewed on your chapter page. or make the last couple extras#paid only idk. but the big thing? the point im getting to - sorry i got lost in the sauce -#my point is: you probably DO write shit at first. or write fine with some SHIT ARCS or rushed chapters to hit ur weekly updates#and 5 years from then youll look back and wanna overhaul some of those fucking stories (weve seen many a jjwxc writer revise later).#but wow will you have practiced writing a LOT.#youll have 100k 500k 1 million 5 million words worth of writing under your belt in a few years#and youll probably be a hell of a lot better at knowing how to make more chaptwrs on average interezsting and Building Consistently to your#main plot and arcs. you'll probably get much bettwr at raw scheduling of wriitng and pre-planning that works for you and structure mapping#youll have a much better idea of your personal strengths whrn you need to lean on them for a rough month when your story's turned#into a mess. youll value your own writing more (i hope) cause LOOK how much you fucking accomplished.#like. npss? dmbjs author? idk about others but i can definitely see the improvement in wriitng skill#between dmbj book 1 and the recent heihua book and mountain village book#(in terms of style in word choice. and goals for the story set out to be told)#i look at priest and newer novels by priest are as impressive as any literary novel ive ever analysed#(and older ones while i also love i do see their slightly rougher word choice and how some were executed a bit#more up and down/not as tightly)#i just. agh. i am :c feeling that ill probably write 200k words this year#and none of it will be as good as i want. but i NEED to write these first 200k#because the only way i get better. get to the way i want to write. is to make the progress of improvement with this first 200k.#ToT fun fact i wrote 170k words this year. WOW. and maybe 400k words of fanfic in the 4 years prior (so 100k words on average)#i know i am imptoving. i just gotta keep at it.#also? annoying i cant focus my attention lmao. 160k words is mkre than enough to finish a 1st draft novel#but me? i split those among like 20 projects this year. so the novel most written so far is still only at 40k#and im probably going to need 60k more words to finish it

Please read the post in full and do not skip!!
We all have our dreams and desires, but currently for many people, dreaming alone has become a luxury for the world is hellbent on denying them their humanity.
It has been well over a year of Palestinian genocide and people lost their homes, their families and even their dreams. One such story is of my friend Mahmoud Abu Hamam ( @ma7moudgaza2 ) who was an engineering student and dreamt of completing his degree and starting a life of his own. However at only twenty years of age, the dream of his life was taken away from him and he now spends his time in a tent, cold and often hungry, trying to communicate with people and requesting them to pay attention to his campaign. The only thing Mahmoud dreams of now, is for an end to this occupation, to this genocide so that he may live in a warm house and sleep in a warm bed. He hates that to the world he is just a number, to be talked about broadly in debates and that no one knows him or tries to see him as a person. He hates that he is just another fundraiser on a social media site and how the world cannot see that he has been reduced to this one identity on the internet, because of the violence of the occupation. As of now even his campaign is not going well and today he received only THREE DONATIONS. Mahmoud is heartbroken over it and doesn't know what to do or what is left of him. So please do something for Mahmoud. The world failed his dream for no fault of his own and now he feels like the world will fail his campaign as well. Please do not grow complacent. BOOST AND DONATE. NO DONATION IS TOO SMALL!
Currently at $14,207. He needs to reach $15,700. Please help.

"Much ink has already been spilled on Harrisâs prosecutorial background. What is significant about the topic of sex work is how recently the vice presidentâelectâs actions contradicted her alleged views. During her tenure as AG, she led a campaign to shut down Backpage, a classified advertising website frequently used by sex workers, calling it âthe worldâs top online brothelâ in 2016 and claiming that the site made âmillions of dollars from trafficking.â While Backpage did make millions off of sex work ads, its âadult servicesâ listings offered a safer and more transparent platform for sex workers and their clients to conduct consensual transactions than had historically been available. Harrisâs grandiose mischaracterization led to a Senate investigation, and the shuttering of the site by the FBI in 2018.
âBackpage being gone has devastated our community,â said Andrews. The platform allowed sex workers to work more safely: They were able to vet clients and promote their services online. âItâs very heartbreaking to see the fallout,â said dominatrix Yevgeniya Ivanyutenko. âA lot of people lost their ability to safely make a living. A lot of people were forced to go on the street or do other things that they wouldnât have otherwise considered.â M.F. Akynos, the founder and executive director of the Black Sex Worker Collective, thinks Harris should âapologize to the community. She needs to admit that she really fucked up with Backpage, and really ruined a lot of peopleâs lives.â
After Harris became a senator, she cosponsored the now-infamous Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA), whichâalong with the Houseâs Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA)âwas signed into law by President Trump in 2018. FOSTA-SESTA created a loophole in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the so-called âsafe harborâ provision that allows websites to be free from liability for user-generated content (e.g., Amazon reviews, Craigslist ads). The Electronic Frontier Foundation argues that Section 230 is the backbone of the Internet, calling it âthe most important law protecting internet free speech.â Now, website publishers are liable if third parties post sex-work ads on their platforms.
That spelled the end of any number of platformsâmostly famously Craigslistâs âpersonal encountersâ sectionâthat sex workers used to vet prospective clients, leaving an already vulnerable workforce even more exposed. (The Woodhull Freedom Foundation has filed a lawsuit challenging FOSTA on First Amendment grounds; in January 2020, it won an appeal in D.C.âs district court).
âI sent a bunch of stats [to Harris and Senator Diane Feinstein] about decriminalization and how much SESTA-FOSTA would hurt American sex workers and open them up to violence,â said Cara (a pseudonym), who was working as a sex worker in the San Francisco and a member of SWOP when the bill passed. Both senators ignored her.
The bill both demonstrably harmed sex workers and failed to drop sex trafficking. âWithin one month of FOSTAâs enactment, 13 sex workers were reported missing, and two were dead from suicide,â wrote Lura Chamberlain in her Fordham Law Review article âFOSTA: A Hostile Law with a Human Cost.â âSex workers operating independently faced a tremendous and immediate uptick in unwanted solicitation from individuals offering or demanding to traffic them. Numerous others were raped, assaulted, and rendered homeless or unable to feed their children.â A 2020 survey of the effects of FOSTA-SESTA found that â99% of online respondents reported that this law does not make them feel saferâ and 80.61 percent âsay they are now facing difficulties advertising their services.â "
-What Sex Workers Want Kamala Harris to Know by Hallie Liberman
#personal#sw#sex work is work#kamala harris#one of the MANY many reasons i hate harris#she directly put so many sex workers at risk. i lost multiple community members because of her#whorephobia#fosta/sesta

after rewatching nimona four times since its release (because yes, this movie is just that good), i caught a few little details that just make the whole experience so much better. so, incoming SPOILER ALERT, donât read this if you havenât watched the movie yet. speaking of, why the fuck havenât you?? go watch the movie (and read the comic while youâre at it, some sites offer it for free), then come back and enjoy.
1. When the Squire gives Ballister his sword, he clearly realizes somethingâs wrong with it. Heâs trained with it for so long that he knew that something was off just by holding it. This detail is something you wouldnât pay much attention to when you first watch the film, but itâs there to make you realize something is a little off, especially when the Squire attempts to show him the video, but it also has plausible deniability so you could chalk it up to being something else (ie. the Squire wanting a picture with Ballister).
2. This sneaky line from this sneaky bitch.
3. Nimona tells us exactly how the movie ends. (Sorta. In a sense. The phoenix rises from the ashes and overthrows the government.)
4. You can see Nimona sneaking into the jail where Ballister is being kept.
5. Mini Ballister and Ambrosius! I think a few others have pointed this out before, but I only noticed it upon my second rewatch. (A little surprised younger Ambrosius didnât have the Asian bob. Thatâs like a right of passage.)
6. Nimonaâs train backstory versus her flashback.
7. During Nimonaâs nightmare on the couch, she turns into a wolf, and then a cat. In her flashback, as the villagers attack her, she turns into a cat and then a wolf. It could be because having her turn into anything else would be too big for the couch, but if this is intentional, then it means Nimona was having a nightmare of that day.
8. This. Visually, the sparks are sorta similar, and in both instances, Ballister has lost something irreplaceable. I think this one might be a reach and may not be intentional, but my mind connected the two scenes and wouldnât let go, so.
Honorable mention: the gay and trans flags above Ballister and Nimona respectively in that one scene. iykyk. I didnât add it because 1. I think many other people have brought it up and 2. the mobile app is limiting me to 10 images. Anyway, I love this movie and its comic SO much and Iâm so glad that it made it to our screens from the box of scrapped movies that could have been great if people (namely, executives) gave them a chance. There is so much love, care, and passion put into this movie, and you can really sense that this was made for its audience and its author, for its story and not only for the money it could make. This movie is metal as fuck, so GO STREAM IT!!
#nimona#nimona movie#nd stevenson#i love this movie sm this is my love letter to this movie#ballister and ambrosius r so fucking cute THIS is the queer rep i want#and nimona just.. she has my heart. my soul. I LOVE HER SM#ballister boldheart#ambrosius goldenloin#ive forced my brother my mom and five of my friends to watch this movie with me. it has been brilliant.

"Trump is better for the economy, though!"
Aside from almost every major economist agreeing that Trump's economic plans would actually make things far worse than they are now, this man can't even manage his campaign's, his businesses', OR his personal finances.
Case in point, here a list from Public Opinion of his failed business endeavors:
"Trump's companies have filed for bankruptcy at least six times. This is no exaggeration. Digital World noted this in its SEC filings. This excludes additional business failures that might not have declared bankruptcy, but closed owing vendors, employees and others."
"For the record, here are some of Trump's noteworthy business failures."
Trump Airlines â Trump borrowed $245 million to purchase Eastern Air Shuttle. He branded it Trump Airlines. He added gold bathroom fixtures. Two years later Trump could not cover the interest payment on his loan and defaulted.
Trump Beverages â Although Trump touted his water as "one of the purest natural spring waters bottled in the world," it was simply bottled by a third party. Other beverages, including Trump Fire and Trump Power, seem not to have made it to market. And Trump's American Pale Ale died with a trademark withdrawal.
Trump Game â Milton Bradley tried to sell it. As did Hasbro. After investment, the game died and went out of circulation.
Trump Casinos â Trump filed for bankruptcy three times on his casinos, namely the Trump Taj Mahal, the Trump Marina and the Trump Plaza in New Jersey and the Trump Casino in Indiana. Trump avoided debt obligations of $3 billion the first time. Then $1.8 billion the second time. And then after reorganizing, shuffling money and assets, and waiting four years, Trump again declared bankruptcy after missing ongoing interest payments on multi-million dollar bonds. He was finally forced to step down as chairman.
Trump Magazine â Trump Style and Trump World were renamed Trump Magazine to reap advertising dollars from his name recognition. However, Trump Magazine also went out of business.
Trump Mortgage â Trump told CNBC in 2006 that "I think it's a great time to start a mortgage company. ⌠The real-estate market is going to be very strong for a long time to come." Then the real estate market collapsed. Trump had hired E.J. Ridings as CEO of Trump Mortgage and boasted that Ridings had been a "top executive of one of Wall Street's most prestigious investment banks." Turned out Ridings had only six months of experience as a stockbroker. Trump Mortgage closed and never paid a $298,274 judgment it owed a former employee, nor the $3,555 it owed in unpaid taxes.
Trump Steaks â Trump closed Trump Steaks due to a lack of sales while owing Buckhead Beef $715,000.
Trump's Travel Site â GoTrump.com was in business for one year. Failed.
Trumpnet â A telephone communication company that abandoned its trademark.
Trump Tower Tampa â Trump sold his name to the developers and received $2 million. Then the project went belly-up with only $3,500 left in the company. Condo buyers sued Trump for allegedly misleading them. Trump settled and paid as little as $11,115 to buyers who had lost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Trump University or the Trump Entrepreneur Initiative â Trump staged wealth-building seminars costing up to $34,995 for mentorships that would offer students access to Trump's secrets of success. Instructors turned out to be motivational speakers sometimes with criminal records. Lawsuits and criminal investigations abound.
Trump Vodka â Business failed due to a lack of sales.
Trump Fragrances â Success by Trump, Empire by Trump, and Donald Trump: The Fragrances all failed due to being discontinued, perhaps as a result of few sales.
Trump Mattress â Serta stopped offering a Trump-branded mattress, again likely due to slacking sales.
Truth Social â This existing Trump business owes big money, and may well be breathing its last.
And then of course is his long history of stiffing contractors, restaurants, and even entire cities for their event venues he used for his ralliesâas well as some of his own followersâ
âsuch as the case where he promised a greiving hispanic American family that he would pay for the burial of their daughter, Vanessa GuillĂŠn, a servicewoman who had been brutally murdered by a fellow soldier at Fort Hood in 2020, but later told his chief of staff not to pay for it after learning it would cost $60,000, reportedly saying "It doesnât cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!"

cw: streamer au! you and hawks have a popular channel and you have some special guests! fluff! reader and hawks are married. 'dove' as a nickname. written for @pastelle-rabbit.
âDid you finish setting up the microphones, dove?â Keigo asks, while youâre just about to adjust your PC setup. The stream begins in five minutes, and while itâs not the first time youâve gone live with your love, itâs the first time that youâve had guests on your streaming site, and this is highly anticipated enough that you expect a higher turnout for today, and commensurately likely more trolls. Youâre used to Keigoâs trolls as a top-ranking hero, but Izukuâs trolls are a whole different beast.
âYes!â you sing out to him. After the final adjustment, you shoot a glance to Izuku and his wife who are poised very politely on gaming chairs you got just for them; his hand is holding hers, the thumb caressing the back of her hand while she crosses her legs at the ankle. She looks distressed and you stifle a giggle. Horror and gore are the themes for your stream today and from what Izuku has told you, sheâs a screamer, but so is Keigo, so the two will be squawking like birds for the remainder of the night.Â
You canât wait.
âAre you guys comfortable?â you ask. The chair arrangement is a little more complex to make sure everyone stays huddled around your huge monitor, but youâve figured it out.
She nods slowly, and Izuku grins. âWeâre doing perfect!â
There are now two minutes until the stream starts, and Keigo slips into the chair right beside you and kisses your cheek, his other hand deep in a bag of chicken chips which he brings to your mouth.
You indulge him with a bite, and he grins, then whispers if you want him to be your chair this time, and while Izuku grins politely at the two of you, you can sense yourself warming in the face.
âWe have guests,â you remind him. Keigo throws a glance at Izuku who immediately waves his hands.
âPretend weâre not here.â
âWhat do you mean weâre not here, we were in-â
You start the stream and Izukuâs wife falls silent, immediately switching to camera ready mode. âWelcome guys and thanks for coming back to our channel! As promised, we have special guests today! -â Deku and his wife wave politely to the camera in million-watt smiles, â- and weâll be continuing with our horror themed stream!â
Keigo chews loudly and waves at the camera. âIâll be here!â he motions a salute to the screen. As expected, you can already see the influx of his fans filling the chat, painfully polite in their thirst since the last time he reminded them on screen he was happily married.
âOoh can we have streamer nicknames?â Izukuâs wife asks.
âSure, what would you like to be called?â you offer. She looks around, then up at the ceiling, then her eyes light up.
âHm⌠BLOODCRUSH.â She says with dramatic glee. The rest of the three of you blink rapidly, but no one argues.Â
âBloodcrush it is!â you announce as she kicks her feet. Izuku gives her a mildly concerned look, but then rubs her shoulder affectionately. The chat starts to rile up with comments in support of new nickname Bloodcrush (bloodcrush x deku otp, bloodcrush fighting!) to her delight while the less savory ones are promptly ignored.
âI think the rest of us will just go by our hero or streamer names, is that okay?â Keigo says, stretching out in his chair and resting his arm around the shoulder of your gaming chair, pose relaxed.
âSo what game are we playing?â Deku starts per your loosely prepared script.Â
âRAID AND EXECUTION,â Hawks announces, excitedly. You laugh as the story intro video begins, and Hawks claps his hands dimming the lights while Bloodcrush looks stunned to her husband then to you.
âRaid and what?â
âOh, that sounds awesome! Iâve heard of this one!â Deku chirps, and immediately his info-dumping begins. âSo from what Iâve read, this game is set in the early 1400s in the Caribbean where a group of pirates are lost at sea and encounter a group of enchanted beings, most likely zombies, and youâre meant to survive as long as possible when theyâre active at night, and raid the villagers during the daytime or else youâll run out of resources and die, not to mention the game mechanics heavily rely on you using context clues of the environment in order to determine if a settlement is nearby and-â
Hawks and Bloodcrush both scream as the first zombie shows up on screen armed with a machete and cleanly slices the head off of your avatar.
âOoh, that was fast,â you say, frowning as the âGame Overâ screen shows up on the monitor. The chat explodes with comments telling Deku to shut the hell up which makes him frown.
âJust trying to provide context,â he grumbles. You start up the game again and instead of jumping right off the ship and walking right onto the island, you pause and look for clues. Hawks encourages you to explore the bottom of the ruins first, which has you find a rusty machete of your own as well as some 14th century hardtack, and Bloodcrush leans in and asks you if thereâs any way you can find a musket or other gun.
âBaby, I think muskets werenât invented till the 15th century,â Deku says, and she pats his cheek gently, whispering only mildly threatening, âI didnât ask you for historical accuracy, honey.â
âHere, I think we found one!â you exclaim and Hawks gives you a high five while Bloodcrush raises her eyebrow at him.Â
While you begin arranging your inventory, Hawks repeats some questions in the chat for their guests.
âSo, herofootfetish69 has a question for you, Deku.â
Izuku pales while you and his wife unintentionally bursts out laughing from how nonchalantly Hawks reads the username, then your avatar inadvertently falls off a cliff and dies.
âMan!â you exclaim as you restart. Bloodcrush laughs even harder as she points to new resources that you can pick up while youâre repacking your knapsack.
âThey ask, do you have time to play video games when youâre supposed to be protecting the city?â Hawks asks, then giggles.
âWhy am I being heckled?â he frowns. âYes, heroes have time off too.â He pauses. âHawks is literally on this stream!â
âHey, I think if you alternate the musket and the dagger, you might have a chance with those zombies,â Bloodcrush murmurs. Someone in the chat tells her that she has a better chance with the dagger alone. âNever mind, just do that.âÂ
âNext question for LoveDove!â Keigo presses a kiss to your forehead, then reads off, âgains4fame asks, how long have you and Bloodcrush known each other?â
âNot long!â you say, âbut I think weâve become fast friends!â
Bloodcrushâs eyes light up and she playfully bops you on the shoulder. Hawks offers an affectionate awwww, and hugs you while Deku rubs his wifeâs back.Â
In the process of your husband hugging you, youâre shot by an arrow.
âNO!â you and Bloodcrush scream in unison, then look at each other and giggle.
âNext question from chickenchipenthusiast-â Izuku pauses, then reaches for the extra bag Hawks has brought, ânot sponsored by the way,â he reminds everyone, âfor Hawks - how do you choose your guests on the show?â
Hawks shrugs. âWhen I called, you picked up.â
Izuku sighs in defeat.
âWeâll move on to the next question. For LoveDove again - do you think youâll get better at these games?â
Hawks bristles but you laugh. âIâm having fun and so are you, arenât you?â
chickenchipenthusiast writes: exactly!
You get your first kill of a zombie on the island and you and Bloodcrush share double high fives in delight.Â
The chat fills with overwhelming support and the stream continues late into the night, the chatter amongst you guys never ending and the subscribers ticking higher and higher all night.

DS9 trivia from IMDB - Part 1
- Colm Meaney was initially reluctant about signing onto the series. Meaney was comfortable playing O'Brien on an episode by episode basis for Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987), and at the time, was unsure if he wanted to play a full time television role. Â
- Although we only rarely see it, there is an ATM in Quark's bar. It dispenses the various types of currency used by major races visiting the station: Federation credits, Bajoran litas, Cardassian leks, and Ferengi latinum. Â
- Constable Odo was originally envisioned as a young Clint Eastwood type. When Rene Auberjonois was called in for his audition, the casting director told him that none of the previous actors had been "grouchy enough". So Auberjonois improvised his lines using his most gravelly voice, and secured the role. Odo's scoff eventually became such a character trademark that the screenwriters would often script it into his lines (as "harrumph!"), much to Auberjonois' annoyance. Â
- Michael Dorn did not want to reprise his role as Worf, since the daily make-up application was exhausting, and he was relieved to be able to move on. Dorn said that the salary he was offered made him reconsider. Â
- The Dominion storyline was originally only meant to span two episodes. Ronald D. Moore and Ira Steven Behr lobbied to make the storyline on-going, but met with resistance from Executive Producer Rick Berman, who wanted to maintain an episodic format to the series. After Berman left production to oversee the launch of Star Trek: Voyager (1995), Moore and Behr were given more creative control over this series, making the Dominion War the main plot of the show, and adopting a serialized format. Â Â
- Wolf 359, mentioned as the battle site between the Borg and the Federation where Sisko lost his wife, is a real star that is seven and a half light-years from Earth. Â
- In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Trials and Tribble-ations (1996) when Sisko and Dax see Kirk and Spock, Dax has the hots for Spock. In August 2017, Terry Farrell (Jadzia Dax) got engaged to Adam Nimoy, son of Leonard Nimoy (Spock). Â
- The jars of "pills" in Dr. Bashir's office were filled with M&Ms. In many instances during the early episodes, the level of the pills would change between shots because crew members kept stealing them. The problem was solved by epoxying the lids in place. Â Â
- When Colm Meaney was fitted for his Deep Space Nine uniform, he made two requests of the costume designers. He explained that unlike the officers, the non-commissioned Chief O'Brien was a working man. So he needed to be able to roll up his sleeves, and he needed pockets for his tools. The costume department altered his uniform accordingly. Â
- The character of Morn (Mark Allen Shepherd), the Lurian bar patron who is always seen sitting at Quark's bar, was written as a nod to the character of Norm Peterson, played by George Wendt on Cheers (1982). Morn is an anagram of Norm. The mask worn by Shepherd originally had no opening for the mouth, so make-up artist Michael Westmore gave him lips over the course of the series, in case the character needed to speak. Several lines for Morn were scripted over the years, but unfortunately for Shepherd, these were always written out at the last moment. So Morn never said one word during the entire run of the show, leading to a running gag where bar patrons, station crew members and civilian residents often mention that Morn is excessively talkative off-screen, and "never shuts up."

My sincere Black Myth: Wukong review
Full disclosure! This is from a recent but earnest fan of JTTW as the original novel, as well as all the social, cultural and religious layers of it. I've seen my fair share of adaptations and derivative media, from shlocky to silly to grimdark to cutesy. I'm a bachelor in visual arts, with an interest in the field of game development since high school. I am also, white and brazillian, and have talked with other jttw fans, both Chinese and not, on this game. If any of these are for some reason motive to not read further, then fair enough. Hope you have fun and continue to enjoy the game, do not let me or my opinion stop you!
Now to the review proper <3
First things first, let the obvious not remain unsaid. This game, is supremely gorgeous. In every sense of the word, and I mean this fully, it's a work of art. The sound design, the character concepts and execution, the animations, the voice acting, the visual effects, the UI design, the cinematography, the 3D scanning of actual historical artofacts and heritage sites throughout China, and everything beyond and between, are phenomenal, full stop.
This was never a debate, I'm sure, but I don't think I can in good conscience not praise them for their work. It's no news that Asian talent, not just in China either, have been often hired to supplement projects on the West, and we can all agree it's about time they got to shine in their own AAA project. My issues with the international game industry notwithstanding, I hope this brings some much needed acknowledgment and appreciation for Chinese culture and arts, both traditional and modern!
Now, from this point on, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS, so proceed with caution!
(word count: +1.8k)
I also deeply enjoy their choices in arcs to revisit. Some like the Flaming Mountain arc are classic picks to adapt but still a very good match to the whole Six Senses throughline. I don't think you can do a JTTW 2 electric bogaloo without bringing up Niumowang and his family in some way (um, put a pin on that), but the other arcs like Yellowbrow or Black Wind Mountain aren't as explored imo, so it's nice to see them being given a bit of a spotlight.
(speaking of the Yellow Ridge arc, whoever made the executive decision of Lingji Bodhisattva being a Xaanxi singer is, genius!!)
I'm also kind of in love?? with Bajie's design and role in the story overall?? Gameplay wise he sticks around just enough to not feel lonely, but not too long to be a nuisance or overstay his welcome. He's no Atreus (GoW) or Ellie (TLoU) of course, but he doesn't need to be, and most importantly, he isn't trying to be, which I feel is admirable of the devs. Given the visible inspirations from the recent God of War games, it would have been easy to lean a bit too hard on it, but I'm glad they didn't overreach.
Him having a more complex love life is also a nice touch imo. It explores more his womanizer ways in an interesting way, and I appreciate it. I love when people complicate the pig! Also, the way he treats Xiaosheng (Destined One) like a nephew?? The scene on the Huaguoshan throne??? I'M GONNA CRY!!!
I think, I've run out of positive things to say.... time for the spicy takes.
I, kind of detest the premise by default. I'm not a big fan of "Superman is Dead" plots, cus it's usually either done for shock value, or taken so lightly that the weight is totally lost. I have such a love-hate situationship with the introduction cutscene because of this. On one hand, it's phenomenal cinema, and seeing Wukong stand up to the Heavenly armies in glorious 4K high fidelity graphics is delicious. On the other hand, the whole debate they are having has me going "?????", not because I don't get it but just, why?? Why did this have to be the premise?? (put another pin on that)
Also the set up and call to adventure is kind of blergh.
Now is as good a time as any to talk about the gameplay. It's, okay. If you enjoy trying to figure out the most stylish combos, or to mash buttons, then you'll definitely have fun. I was sorely disappointed that I pretty much have been going through the bosses rather easily. Chapter 1 it was mostly the struggle of learning the controls, but I never stuck to a boss for longer than seven tries (Whiteclad Noble, the snakeman that you are). Chapter 2 I only struggled on Tiger Vanguard, because I was sorely underleveled and had missed a pathway to explore before him. After that I second tried him. Chapter 3, I have and I'm not joking, gotten halfway through first or second trying every boss.
Mind you, this is not being some godtier gamer or whatever, I'm pretty average and only a recent player of soulslike games too (maybe playing Lies of P made too OP, but I sincerely doubt it lol). No, this is me saying that if you do explore the game and not rush through it, you won't struggle nearly as much as some people have and still are. Most of the final chapter bosses can be trivialized with the chapter's Obsession Realm gimmick artifact, which isn't in itself a bad thing, just feels like an odd choice personally.
Which leads me to, the level design. So far? Preeeeetty lame! It's very pretty and fancy, but so chockful of invisible walls that it feels stiffling and discourages exploration. I can never tell what is meant to be a path or just fancy scenery, and I never know when a jump will get walled or send me to my death by fall damage. When it's not being confusing, the level design is either a bunch of looping circles, or straight lines. And so far, besides a few interactables and loot, there is not much else to look at. That is, bad level design, plain and simple.
Also, the animations are glorious, but what is the point if I can't see the enemy?? That camera is my true nemesis, and I mean that. the fact that a boss can be beyond my field of vision at ANY POINT when I'm locked on and it strifes sideways, is dreadful. GameScience, FIX IT. It is also, very hard to tell what parts of a boss will damage me if I collide with them or not. The Kang-Jin Long fight was baffling on a design point of view, same for Captain Lotus-Vision. Some clearer hitboxes would be swell.
This is the point where I say my main issue with the game lies: it's very pretty, and adoringly crafted, but it lacks substance design wise. I feel like it needed to cook more, the level design polished more so I wouldn't get lost every five minutes, and clearer.... well, everything. Mechanic explanations, level progression, gimmicks, etc. It all needed to be less murky and convoluted to understand.
It also needed more meat in between bosses. I have yet to run into common enemies that give me actual trouble, so it ends up being just a jolly waltz from boss to boss. Boss rushes are fun and great, but not as the base game experience (for me at least). I had to stop one boss away from completing Chapter 1 cus I was just so exhausted. And I had been playing for like, an hour and a half?? That left a sour taste in my mouth, I'll be honest.
Okay, I'm gonna pick open those pins now.
#1 the Flaming Mountain Arc. I'm gonna be very real here chat, that was so cringe. What do you MEAN, Red Son wasn't Demon Bull King's biological son, and Princess Iron Fan was forced to drink from the Childbearing River??? And Red Son hates him????When I watched that cutscene, I had to pause and walk away for a moment, legitimately. This plotbeat is SO WILD to me, I got nothing to say. Just, why??Soooo bizarre. And that the Flaming Mountain Keeper has such a presence in Iron Fan's life is also, weird?? Not bad weird, just Weird, but that's like a nitpick more than an actual criticism. Ping Ping is fine though, I like that Bull has a daughter with Princess Fair Fox, that's cute and interesting. Wish she was in a better plot and adaptation but lol
And #2, the premise. Now we are getting to the meat of it all.
The underlying premise of the whole plot, including the true ending, is flawed by default. The premise runs on what is sometimes called as a "conspiracy theory plot", as in, "what if the gods were bad actually??". It's reddit movie theory content in very short terms, and while it had a place during the 00s grimdark years pre-Marvel, it's become quite a jaded and boring take nowadays. Now you may say that it comes from a genuine desire to show distrust and critique to insitutions and the powers than be, and I can see that.
There is a hiccup in that though.
In JTTW, Wukong is the Mind Monkey because of the religious text and subtext of the stories. Its interwoven in the whole thing, and makes it cohesive. It still offer critique and mockery to institutions, without entirely invalidating their foundations. Not only for genuine fear of prosecution, but because, shockingly, religion and belief is a major component of human society in general. But going back to my point, JTTW is *already* a critique of institutions and the power that be. Adding further layers into it feel like angst and edginess just for the sake of it, and that feels hollow to me.
To go further, this intent also clashes with their own plot. See, they bring up that Wukong's Mind, his Sixth Sense, died. Thus they need another Mind to guide his other senses and reform him, so that he may be reborn.
For one, that is such a convoluted way to do a reincarnation plot, it feels complicated just for novelty sake. Secondly, Wukong being the Mind Monkey, as I said, implies a tie to the underlying themes of the Journey as a person's path to enlightenment. If enlightenment itself is flawed because the gods are flawed/evil, then both themes are clashing. By making a "what if the gods were evil all along" plot while also going by the laws and order of said gods, then what are we even fighting against? What is the point of this whole rebellion between Erlang and Wukong??
my friend @ryin-silverfish said it best a while back, and I'm paraphrasing here (do pitch in or correct me if needed! <3), but the issue with these conspiracy narratives is the inherent anti-religion of them. They don't believe in anything, and thus they cannot properly retell the story of JTTW through a postmodern lense, because they refuse to engage with the religiosity that runs throughout the story.
It also leaves a sour taste in my mouth, because this game will likely be many people's first genuine experience with the JTTW mythos and story, and I tend to be concerned for how much this will "sour the pot" in the conversation. The novels are sadly innacessible enough as it is; the sheer size of them scare many people away, not even to mention the amount of underlying cultural context you'll miss out without proper footnotes and commentary. Most people will not engage with them directly, and certainly not most gamers.
While the narrative of someone embodying Wukong's spirit is not new in itself, I do find that it coexisting with such a poor premise and spin on it will be a sore first experience for new fans, and I can only hope that them meeting fans of the OG novels won't cause much friction in the fandom (we have enough as it is imo).
It also concerns me that, sadly, people and gamers in particular, get too swept up in the ooh-aah beauty of flashy sfx and highly detailed graphics, and fail to notice some of the underlying issues in game design. As I said, this game is a work of art, but it has flaws, and I don't think people are speaking of them enough. No, the issue is not "lack of diversity" or whatever the hell.
It runs deeper than that, and it's an issue I've come to see in recent movies as well. I'm aware it might just be different cultural expectations of the pacing and span of a story, and it may as well be! But I think if there was more care given to the bones of a media, it would bring much needed longevity and weight to these wonderful artworks.
All this said, I wanna see what acolades this game gets and see what the devs are cooking up with the DLCs (they said at one point the game was supposed to have 12 chapters and my god, that game would be TOO LONG. So glad it didn't get like that!), and further more see how this ripples in the eastern game dev scene. While this is a flawed game with a flawed story, it can be the first on a genuinely wonderful wave of new creations, not just by GameScience, and overall I'm hopeful for what might come next!

Lol as someone who actually works in the industry: you guys are very, very naive if you believe a tumblr blog would tell you secrets about the behind the scenes of Bridgerton for a bubble of specific fans, and even less that someone who actually have access to executives would be around telling so many incorrect stuff that can be proven wrong with some clicks. And would tell you about the actors that way, while working for Netflix. It's hilarious because production is segmented, there are different crews as well, and it simply wouldn't have production/executive inside information if it worked close enough to the actors day by day to know them, and they wouldn't work with all of them to know them personally, repeatedly in the way it says, as the teams are the same for a long time and they all have made their opinions on actors very clear. It's so stupid that it made the mistake of telling you all it doesn't work with crew. They really don't know how a production of a show works and it's funny to see anyone believing it. Then again, only Kanthony and Benophy fans do.
Not only that, contradicting not simply Netflix's news of profitability and success of Season 3, but in fact, actual market news and data releases, Investments prospects, and investors reports, plus licensing, that anyone with any inside information would know it's done publicly and show the actual success and profit delivered by Season 3. To even try to say it lost money, Lol. The data is there, if you worked in a exec. position, even management position, you wouldn't say something so ignorant.
Critically, official certified critics, and audience numbers averaged above Season 2 and on par with Season 1, and you can also check the aggregate of that on RT, IMDB, sites that reunited and average the score. Audience is measured not only by Netflix, but Luminate and Nielsen. Data that is ALSO PUBLIC. And that showed the successful amount of views, specially recovering audience that Season 2 had lost. It was also superior to QC. Netflix also ranks #6 ( above Season 2, again) as their most viewed seasons. Another public information.
It becomes evident you're dealing with a fan of Anthony and Kate and Sophie and Benedict when it spills target hate for particular actors, with nonsense that is so painfully clear from a fandom member, a mere angry fan trying with a insane agenda.
That's the problem when someone has an agenda against some actors and some fictional characters, a TV show, specifically a season. They throw away logic and believe anyone.
There is no insider, you have actual market information and investors/ experts that are not even Netflix connected telling you the success of season 3. Anyone who works for the industry would know that. Lol
There is no inside information of actors from that person. All cast and crew, and connected workers, and adjacents from media, PR and more, have their words and testaments to the cast and crew openly at their socials, dismantling their obsessive nonsense, contradicting them. I contradict them, lol, as i've actually met some of them and know their work ethics and behavior.
And most importantly, the so-called ''insider'' is not even from or in the UKâŚyes, i know exactly what i am talking about. But for now, i wont publish. For now.
Just be aware of bullshit and propaganda with fanwar nonsense. You're dealing with someone who is simply a discontent Kanthony & Benophy fan, and a Simone fan and hater of other actors in the show ( VERY OBVIOUS THE TARGETED HATE), connected ( lol very much connected) to a blog who has adopted the name of "Anti" since the start, who hates Polin. Some people just want to create a narrative, and while they say that Benedict is the most popular and wanted character for the GA, try to justify an eventual less number say it would be S3 fault, when S3 actually revamped the numbers from S2 and had incredible profitability ( again, public data).
But be aware that we know with 100% certainty, people like that do not work for Netflix. They don't even have a clue what a netflix contract is and how it works.
Also, a warning: People should have their faces and real names on when they say things, responsibility is a must, don't you all agree? Sometimes people think they are protected under the anonymity of a tumblr url to lie their hearts out and become desperate later when they have to own personally, with their actual faces and real names, and social reputation, the stupidity of their words.
And in a more fundamental sense, grow up. Tomorrow, someone else can simply create a blog telling the opposite about your favorites, their work, their seasons, it's a game nobody wins when fans act that desperate and stupid, lying and manipulating.
Or worse: perhaps someone with actual information can start posting, and you wouldn't like what they have to sayâŚreflect on that.

Hi ! I was wondering if you could make a drabble about how how Kuroo would comfort his S/O who's going through art writer block ?
Have a nice day/night and take care !
IâVE GOT YOU !
pairing: kuroo x impliedfem!reader note: As someone going through normal writers block this is absolutely perfect. Thank you for this request!! content: relationships, fluff, reader kind of loses hope, angst to comfort, reassuring words. wc: 530 words (sorry this is so short!! My brain refuses to work with me)
banner by: dollywons
Another frustrated groan leaves your lips, while you stare at your blank screen. 45 minutes ago ideas were flowing through your head like crazy. Sketches, rough drafts, and even some abstract ideas to get your brain working, but as soon as you booted up your drawing app on your computer and turned on your drawing tablet, your mind went completely blank.
Your hand would not move an inch, you didnât even try to pick up your stylus pen. âPlease brain work with me,â you moan in horror.
Of course your brain doesnât listen and starts thinking about all the other things you could possibly be doing right now.
âIâll try again later,â You set the stylus pen down on your desk. It wouldnât hurt to scroll on tiktok for a little whileâŚ
Unfortunately all the videos that come up on your feed are art related. Itâs so confusing, youâre itching to draw something but you donât know what.
As if Kuroo could read your thoughts, he slowly walks into the office with a plate of half burnt cookies. Heâs never been good at baking, but he can cook pretty well.
âHowâs it going, darling?â He sets the plate down on the empty space on your desk.
âThatâs the thing, itâs not going.â He notices your distress, so warm hands with years of blocking experience rub your back in soothing circles.
âIâm sure something will come to you.â Instead of leaving the room, he pulls his office chair over the your desk to join you.
âI have ideas, itâs just I donât know, Tetsu, I canât- I donât- oh my god I canât even talk.â Embarrassment floods within your body in mere seconds. You bring your legs up onto your chair and hug them into your chest.
âYou have ideas, but you canât or donât know how to execute them properly?â How does he know exactly what youâre thinking?
âExactly, I really do want to draw, but my mind goes blank every time I try to do so. Itâs like I lost my spark.â He reaches for a half burnt cookie, wincing a little bit when it crunches in his mouth.
âYou havenât lost anything, youâre still the most talented artist I know. I believe that maybe this is a sign that you need to take a break. When you come back youâll make the most amazing art ever like EVER.â His words encourage you enough to look him in the eyes,
âYou really think so?â
âOh baby, I know so.â The smile he breaks into is the exact same one you fell in love with.
âHey wait, let me get some pictures of you for reference photos.â His smile turns into his famous smirk that everyone knows him by.
âOh? Gonna sketch your amazingly handsome husband?â He puffs out his chest with pride.
âMaybe Iâll ask Bokuto instead.â Kuroo gasps in horror like you just said youâd kill his dog.
âNo!! Me! Take pictures of me.â
âOkay okay,â you say with a teasing smile.
He can be a little weird and annoying at times, but man, what would you without Kuroo Tetsuro?
Šđđđđđđđđđđ All works are written by me! Please do not copy, translate, or upload onto other sites without my permission, thanks!

Could I please request hc with 141 with a yn that's terrible with direction? I suck at direction especially if you tell me to go left or right. Cause my dumbass needs to take a sec to remember. Unless you give me a description of where I should go, I'll be lost
á´Ęá´ á´á´Ęá´Ę Ęá´Ňá´
Task Force 141 + gn! Reader
Naked truth: I used to have this. Like you could tell me to go right and I would go leftđ Once when I was still doing my drivers license the instructor told me to go left and I DROVE TO THE RIGHT. He was like ??? okay well then letâs just take a longer way. Iâm so glad Iâm not alone with thisđ But to be honest since Iâm driving the car itâs so much better but I still take my time to know where my left isđ
I hope you love this baeđđ
âââââââââââââââââďżź
Price looked over at you and asked, "You got your compass?"
You glanced up, your brow furrowed in concentration. "Uh, yeah, just give me a second..." You started rummaging through your pockets, pulling out a snack bar, a pen, and even a pair of sunglasses before finally locating the compass.
Gaz raised an eyebrow, his lips curling into a sly grin. "You ever get lost on a straight road?"
You sighed, finally pulling out the compass and holding it up. "I know my way around, guys. Just sometimes... it takes me a moment to figure out left from right."
Ghost chuckled and leaned in. "You've got a one-in-two chance, mate. Just remember, if the enemy's on the right, don't go left."
Price interrupted the chit-chat. "Enough chit-chat, lads. We've got a mission to execute. Y/N," he pointed at you, "follow my lead closely and you won't get lost."
As the team geared up and headed out to the mission site, you did your best to keep an eye on Price, who was leading the way. The terrain was rugged, with thick foliage and tricky terrain, making your navigation skills more challenging than ever.
At one point, you found yourself hesitating at a fork in the path. Your teammates noticed and exchanged knowing glances. Ghost mumbled, "Left is right, right?"
You scowled and chose the path that you thought was correct, only to be corrected by Price. "NO Y/N , THE OTHER LEFT."
Gaz stifled a laugh as you muttered to yourself, "Right, left. Left, right. I'll get it eventually."
The mission continued, and you did your best to stay close to Price, who often had to call out directions more than once. It was a comical sight, with your teammates quietly making bets on which way you'd turn next.
But it was during an intense firefight that your directional challenges truly shone. Amid the chaos, Price shouted eagerly, "Flank to the left, y/n!"
You stood frozen, looking left and right, your brain struggling to decide which was the correct flank. Gaz let out a burst of laughter, but you quickly recovered, realizing what was needed. You bolted left, making a mental note to practice your left and right at the next opportunity.
As the mission neared to its end, you managed to stay on course, with your teammates guiding you when necessary. Despite your directionally challenged moments, you contributed to the team's success with your sharp eyes, reactions and quick thinking.
When the mission was finally complete, the team regrouped, and Ghost couldn't help but tease you. "You made it, little one. You just kept us on our toes with those left-right surprises."
You laughed along with them, realizing that even your terrible directions cant keep you guys from achieving your goals. Price patted you on the back and said, "Good work, y/n. You might not know left and right, but you sure know how to follow orders when it counts."
As you all headed back to base, you couldn't help but smile, knowing that despite your navigational quirks, you were an essential part of the team. "Thanks, guys," you said, "I might need a GPS for my brain, but I've got the best team to guide me."
The team just laughed at your comment.

HER! This is the one I think might be a succubus or something similar.
This is what the above article says:
However, that was not enough for this cold-blood-ed devil. One insider commented She was a woman with a terrible pursuit for power. As soon as someone lost their usefulness to her, she mercilessly abandoned them. One such pursuit had a devastating result. Mata Hari once sold classified military information to the enemy at the price of 20,000 French francs, causing thousands of soldiers to lose their lives in vain and leaving many members of the public homeless and destitute... Yesterday, the multinational spy Mata Hari, who has been confirmed to have arcane lineage, was executed in the suburbs of Paris. Convicted for treason, murder, and over a dozen other charges, site was executed by a firing squad of 11 soldiers. For years, Mata Hari had been active as an erotic dancer and was known to fervently pursue the satisfaction of her own desires. She used arcane witchcraft to seduce celebrities in business and politics, manipulating them to gain wealth, fame, and status. Mata Hari's identical twin sister Nala Hari has been missing since Mata's arrest. Nala Hari is a vicious and dangerous individual who holds a variety of classified in- formation. If you have any information as to her whereabouts, please contact the Hunter's Guild immediately.
Hunter's Guild? My Bloodborne senses tingle. Here we are introduced to Mata Hari and Nala Hari. Mata Hari was executed but her Twin Nala Hari is still on the run.
#reverse 1999#aw man i just put the pieces together#this is her isn't it?#im actually saving for her cause of CN stats#well its ok i still have no idea what roles everyone has in upcoming updates#BUT i wont be mad if someone confirms that she really is a succubus#from the way she's written and portrayed she must at least be inspired by succubi or some other similar creature
