Capítulo Um: Voo Noturno

Ⅰ

— Senhorita Comissária, poderia me trazer um chá com leite? Com doze... não, treze cubos de açúcar, por favor.

Jessica encarou fixamente o jovem do outro lado do balcão. Deixando de lado os óculos redondos grossos como o fundo de uma garrafa de leite, sua modesta batina e o manto surrado —trajes típicos de um padre itinerante — não podiam parecer mais deslocados naquele ambiente.

Apesar de já ter passado da meia noite, o lounge panorâmico continuava animado e deslumbrante. Cavalheiros e damas riam elegantemente, o som leve de uma sonata de câmara preenchia o ambiente, e taças de vinho refinado eram erguidas em brindes... Um voo noturno luxuoso e esplêndido sobre um mar de nuvens.

— ...Hum, com licença, Senhorita Comissária?

— Hã? Si-sim!

Sacudindo levemente seus cabelos castanhos em corte semi-longo, Jessica voltou a si. Enquanto ajustava a barra do avental sobre o vestido, esboçou um sorriso educado em seu rosto jovial salpicado de sardas — o sorriso apropriado para uma comissária de bordo de um luxuoso dirigível.

— Hum. Era um uísque escocês, não era?

— Não, um chá com leite. Com treze cubos de açúcar...

— Ah, se for por algo doce, podemos preparar um bolo ou uma torta de acordo com sua preferência, sabe?

— Bolo! Torta! Isso parece ótimo. Mas...

O padre espiou dentro da carteira e murmurou com um suspiro profundo.

— Como esperado, só tenho quatro dinares... Sendo assim, só o chá está ótimo.

Até as crianças que, há algum tempo, estavam correndo para lá e para cá pelo salão deviam ter pelo menos dez vezes mais do que isso no bolso. Aliás, o primeiro salário da Jessica, recebido na semana passada, foi de dois mil dinares. Como é que uma pessoa tão pobre desses conseguiu se infiltrar no Tristan — uma das aeronaves de luxo mais famosas do mundo, que faz a rota Londinium-Roma?

— Como sempre, os erros do administrativo me fazem chorar... O que é isso? Ouvi dizer que o refeitório desta aeronave cobra cem dinares por refeição! Não é um assalto? Mesmo que eu ficasse de cabeça para baixo, nunca conseguiria pagar isso!

— Por acaso, o senhor ainda não fez nenhuma refeição?

— Bom, já faz umas vinte horas, eu diria... Tentei economizar calorias dormindo no meu quarto, mas comecei a sentir minha cabeça começar a girar. Pelo menos, se eu aumentar meu nível de açúcar no sangue, talvez consiga aguentar até Roma...

— Padre... deve ser bem difícil, não é?

Aparentemente ele interpretou errado o suspiro exasperado de Jessica como um gesto de compaixão. O padre assentiu solenemente, como se estivesse se comunicando com Deus.

— Sim. Às vezes, é uma questão de vida ou morte ── e por isso, por favor, coloque treze cubos de açúcar.

— Entendido... Aqui está, obrigada por esperar.

— Oh! Como esperado, o chá autêntico é diferente. Esse sabor aveludado é... como posso dizer... uhpf!

O chá — ou melhor, algo que já havia se tornado gelatinoso — mal tocou seus lábios quando o padre tropeçou violentamente.

Uma das crianças, que estavam correndo pelo lugar segurando um balão desde um tempo atrás, colidiu com força contra sua perna. Seu rosto bateu contra o balcão, fazendo o conteúdo da xícara voar e derramar-se sobre sua cabeça. A criança, por sua vez, caiu e começou a chorar.

— Você está bem!? Não se machucou?

Ignorando o padre, cujos cabelos prateados pingavam chá, Jessica correu até o garoto.

Felizmente, ele não parecia machucado. Ela pegou o balão vermelho — o mesmo que tinha distribuído como lembrança da viagem — e ajudou o menino a se levantar.

— O-obrigado, moça.

— De nada. Mas já está na hora de voltar para sua mãe. Crianças precisam dormir cedo, viu?

— U-uhum... Desculpa, padre.

Diante do garoto, que o olhava preocupado, o padre passou as mãos nos cabelos molhados e lhe ofereceu um sorriso tranquilo.

— ...Hu, huhu. Ora, não se preocupe. Foi apenas uma xícara de chá. Não me importo nem um pouco. Sim, de maneira nenhuma. Nem um pouquinho. De jeito nenhum. Huhu...

— Que bom, né? Um padre tão bondoso... Agora, boa noite. Vá direto para o seu quarto.

O garoto inclinou a cabeça em sinal de respeito para a gentil moça e voltou a correr. Quando sua pequena silhueta desapareceu do salão, Jessica dirigiu-se ao padre, que parecia prestes a esticar a língua até o balcão.

— Padre, que tal um sanduíche? O pagamento não precisa... vou deixar como cortesia.

— Cortesia!? S-sério mesmo!? Oh, obrigado, Senhor... Senhorita Comissária, por acaso você é um anjo!? Ora, ora. Pensando bem, tem um relevo no banheiro da minha igreja com um rosto idêntico ao seu...

— ...Sou apenas uma comissária.

No instante em que ela tossiu, um tubo de comunicação interrompeu a conversa.

<Aqui é a ponte de comando ── Jessica, faça uma entrega.>

— Entendido, Capitão Connery... Ah, Padre, poderia esperar um momento? Voltarei em breve.

— Espero, espero. Esperaria até o céu cair e o fim dos tempos chegar! Eeeh...

— Jessica. Jessica Lang.

— ...Hum, Lang?

O padre, por um instante, fez uma expressão de quem tentava se lembrar de algo.

— Por acaso, a doutora Catherine Lang, a projetista de dirigíveis que faleceu no ano passado...

— Ah, ela era minha mãe.

— Oh. Então, quem está no leme desta nave é você?

— D-De jeito nenhum! Eu sou apenas uma comissária de bordo. Bom, eu estou estudando, mas ainda não é tão fácil. Afinal, sabe como é... sou uma mulher, então...

— Não existe nenhuma lei que impeça mulheres de se tornarem pilotos de dirigíveis. Na verdade, eu até conheço alguém que é uma. Ah, perdoe-me por não ter me apresentado antes. Meu nome é Abel.

O padre, ajustando seus óculos redondos, se apresentou reverentemente.

— Abel Nightroad – sou um padre itinerante do Vaticano.

{ 18+ drabbles / headcanons }

[ when they’re in heat ]

featuring: sylus, zayne, xavier, rafayel

[ minors don’t interact; by choosing to interact with this content, you have consented to viewing something n-fw despite the warnings. ]

additional notes: these are very short and very heated drabbles. my bestie pulled sylus’s card for me and i am now extremely f e r a l.

the effects of the “spell” had yet to wear off when sylus traps you in his bed, shedding you of all of your clothes while pressing the mushroom tip of his cock against your entrance.

he had you bent over on the mattress, with his chest pressing so deeply on your back. he continues to tease you in this new position, his deep purrs seeming to reverberate throughout your body. all while the sensation of his tail rubbing so eagerly around your slick heat makes you crumple on the bed.

“mmm…” letting out another purr of your name, sylus grips at your breasts before sliding the entire length of his cock deep inside of you, already setting a rapid pace when he pulls his cock out until only the tip was inside before slamming back in. by now, you were left a sobbing mess, clinging to your sheets as sylus proceeds to ram his hips against yours. the sounds of skin slapping against skin were all that echoes throughout the room, making you nearly roll your eyes back in response to such a sensation.

“only animals mate in such a position.” sylus tells you with a grunt all while biting down against the lobe of your ear. as you gasped and clawed at the sheets, you could feel each pulsating vein against sylus’s cock and the way he shamelessly pushes into you. basking in your needy moans, sylus presses a kiss against your damp cheek while hotly murmuring within your ear,

“and i’m starting to see the appeal of such mating rituals…”

zayne’s low purrs when he sinks into you causes a surge of heat to course through you, making you gasp when you felt your boyfriend initiate such intimate acts with you.

through a series of events, zayne was turned into a cat hybrid of sorts, and detecting your familiar scent was enough to send your lover into heat. his eyes became dilated at the mere sight of you, causing him to lose all sense of coherency.

running on pure instinct, zayne pushes aside your clothes, allowing his slender fingertips to run across and tease at your pussy lips before spreading them briefly. his grunts become needier, forgetting all about his intentions of foreplay when he catches a whiff of your pure, feminine scent.

but you weren’t complaining.

as you allow zayne to grip at your thighs, he slides the entire length of his cock inside of you. while you nearly spilled your juices atop his cock from such a sensation, zayne was not faring any better, tossing his head back while setting a sloppy pace against you.

his eyes were clenched shut, with his hands gripping at your breasts, allowing them to bounce within the palm of his hand each time his hips pistons in and out of you. and while you got drunk off of the pleasure zayne continues to give you, you were dimly aware of how your name were the only words that came from his mouth.

when xavier leads you to someplace a little more private, you weren’t expecting to be pushed to the ground with your skirt and panties tossed to the side. feeling your boyfriend settle himself between your legs, you had to bite against your fists to keep from crying out to him.

his newly developed cat ears were felt tickling at your inner thighs while his tongue lazily lapped at your slick walls. he drinks in every last drop of your honeyed arousal, like a spoiled cat having its fill of cream. unable to stop yourself, you delve your fingers into his hair all while purposely caressing at his cat ears, earning a shudder from him.

mere seconds later, xavier removes himself from between your legs, licking away the evidence of your arousal before pulling down his pants with a free hand. his swollen cock was revealed to you for only a moment before he impales your slick heat with it

“ngh…!” xavier’s grunts echo throughout the area along with your desperate moans. as your hunter boyfriend continues to pound himself into you, you felt the moisture flood from within your walls upon hearing his drunken words-

“not only do you taste so sweet, but you feel so good around me… just like this…”

“it’s going to take more than a few pats to satisfy me, princess.”

you didn’t like how haughty rafayel sounded, especially now that he had some cat like traits. despite the many times you had caressed and poked at his ear-

your stubborn boyfriend had yet to relent.

which was why you resorted to a bit more… extreme measures.

somehow, you had managed to push rafayel on his back, pinning him to the floor while pulling down his pants. he grunts in response to your actions, his tail twitching almost impatiently when you settle yourself between his thighs.

he was still pouting at you, deep crystalline eyes meeting your gaze, as if challenging you-

yet all that attitude from him disappears the moment you free his cock and place the mushroom tip inside of your mouth. basking in the way his entire body shudders in response to your actions, you take him even deeper inside of your mouth, allowing your tongue to trace at the pulsating veins that decorate his shaft.

“f-fuck, princess…!” he stills his hips and releases his seed inside of your awaiting lips, where you eagerly swallowed all that he had to offer with a satisfied hum.

you lick your lips, moving away from him to admire your work and just how beautifully rafayel had come undone for you. his ears were seen twitching atop his soft, wavy locks of hair with his arm thrown across his eyes. the young lemurian continues to breathe as if he had just finished running a marathon-

but you weren’t done with him yet, oh no-

far from it.

giving him a smug expression, you remove your soaked panties, allowing the bottom half of your body to remain bare before taking rafayel’s limp cock in your hand. he gasps, removing his arms while staring at you with wide eyes.

“princess- hng…!” he tosses his head back the moment you began to stroke him back to full hardness, making sure he was fully erect before sinking your aching cunt down on rafayel as you eagerly bounced yourself up and down his cock.

perhaps you were the one in heat instead of him after all.

OMG, finally someone who thinks that Caitlyn is not rough all the time. I mean, look at her when she was with Vi – SHE WAS SO GENTLE THERE, ITS CANON (I'm not saying she wouldn't get rough and aggresive at times) (By the way, I love the headcanons!)

caitlyn kiramman NSFW headcanon

content : afab/fem reader, nsfw, soft sex, fluff??

writers note : thank you so much!! making a part two fairly soon of the caitlyn hcs.

men dni!

based off of my last post— where the majority of the nsfw headcanons were rough/dom!cait.— check it out if you haven’t, yall!! :))

—

she would NOT be rough all the time. there are still nights she wants to make love to you and remind you how much she really does set you as one of her top priorities.

I really headcanon her to be somewhat starved to actual romance and love before she met you, and not just rough n kinky sex, ykwim?

yes, she’s a dominant person but I’m not saying there aren’t times where she wouldn’t “bottom” or let you take the lead. sometimes she just gets tired and doesn’t feel like doing all the crazy stuff, she just wants to make you cum.

which I mean you oblige because caitlyn kiramman making you cum?? who’s to deny that?? and also the instance you get to top her?? bet.

she’s just soft and slow at times, really taking her time, kissing you down your body, whispering the corniest shit to you like “we are gonna spend the rest of our life together, yeah?”— but it’s in her cute lil british accent so it doesn’t even matter, plus, you literally dig it.

I really cannot stress this enough— she is desperate to make you happy, she loves you so much she can feel that shit in her heart PHYSICALLY. nothing you do goes unnoticed— you are comfortable enough to let her access your body? she’s melting. you share your insecurities and secrets with her? she’s never telling anyone else ever.

fucks you with a sliiightly smaller strap than when she rams the shit out of you— but the way she talks you through it is so sweet and pure.

“fuck.. ur doing good, okay, love?”

“tell me if it gets too much, wont you, darling?”

“ur so sweet for me”

“you are so pretty, you know that?”

“I’m so proud of you.”

and when she’s about to cum—

“fuckfuck— iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou” as if there is some urgency to remind you

“hah— I’m close— I’m close.. cum with me?”

“mmh, I’m gonna cum, okay?”

“are you getting close?— mngghh..— want you to cum with me okay?”

“you— mmh— look so good when you are about to cum, darling.”

the aftercare is— im sorry to say— but it’s immaculate.

if you don’t feel like showering or bathing, she just brings you a warm, wet towel and wipes your privates as she leaves little kisses down your stomach

brings you a glass of water with a lemon in it n shit, gets all fancy and sometimes pops out the wine.

prepares a little snack like cheese n crackers or some kind of fruit

holds you and tells you how much she loves you, kissing your forehead and always making sure you fall asleep before her.

𝜗𝜚。．．❛ #01. YANDERE SUNDAY!

𐙚 topic。．thinking bout yan sunday treating his imprisoned darling

．。𝜗𝜚 cw。yandere themes, degrading, filthy, MINORS DNI．．

．。𝜗𝜚 a/n。sunday brainrotting rn i need this man if it means i have to skip boothill bb ill get u on ur rerun (´•︵•`)

SUNDAY likes to feel superior to you.

Can’t reach a high shelf? Sunday will tower over you and reach what you wanted to get, smiling at you endearingly, subtly reminding you that he’s much more taller than you are. Can’t cook? He’ll cook up a 5-star course while letting you know he can do it better for you. Especially in bed while he forcefully makes you say you love him, he’d relish in the amount of control he has while tinkering with your little moans and whimpers as he pleases.

Be it in even the smallest trivial matters, or when he’s in bed- he’ll find a way to tell you that you hold nothing over him, that you are pathetic under him, he is your angel and you will be his follower. You only have to do what he asks you, no, commands you to do.

His favorite way of showing his authority is when he feeds you— he’d force you to look up at him while sitting under him between his legs, one hand holding a leash connected to your collar, and the other hand reaching from the table to smear a ton of dessert cake on his fingers. When you beg him to stop, that you want to eat properly, you won’t be able to stand up straight until he allows you to— calling you a pathetic whore for sucking on his cock the whole day when he’s forcing you to.

“My, what a pathetic little slut you are, sweetheart- you just keep on sucking my cock like it’s your meal. I suppose it makes sense as you haven’t eaten.”

But he loves it when you obey, when you suck off the whipped cream from his pretty fingers— calling you a good girl, lovingly patting your head. Your reward? Being fucked dumb while he coos that you’ve been such a sweet girl for obeying him, all the while ramming in his thick cock to pump in his seed into you.

He just loves seeing you obey him- it makes him go crazy more than he’d like to admit.

[einwish]

For a species with purportedly no emotions, Kyubey is skilled in picking up fluctuations in the feelings of others. Call it an ability honed through millenia of work experience in the field. Despite (or perhaps because of) the stoic nature of his current target, a single sliver of sentimentality stands out as clear as day.

§ You are wise and kind, § Kyubey kyuus, tail still waving.

§ I promise you I'll always make wishes come true. In the land of magic, all things are possible as long as you want it hard enough! §

He blinks at her final request—a slow, languid movement similar to a cat's—but only once. It happens so inexplicably that he might not have moved at all. And then, as if in welcome, Kyubey rolled fully on his back and laid down, paws up and waiting.

§ You can if you want to! §

“Understood. So then, if these Witches were to appear here, in order to both see and properly defend oneself against them, one would need the magic given through your contract.” Although it doesn’t look like it, blank as her face is, she is thinking. There are many desires that are very difficult for her to verbalize. “An endless supply of burgers sounds desirable, but, if I can wish for anything: There are other things. Like for instance, going home. And if that cannot be done, then,” How to translate this? “I do not want those who might be looking for me to worry.”

A funny thing though. Saying all this, while it comes out cool and collected, is somewhat of a struggle.

“As for what threats comes to this world-I would assist in defending it however I can. The lives here are not without value.”

There is a tickling feeling in her chest. The same sensation she gets when her Magehound wimpers, tilts his head and paws at her to be picked up. Kyubey has rolled over, his warm fuzzy head pressing against her arm.

So. Cute. I cannot take it.

“Abandoning self-control efforts. Requesting permission: Do you allow tummy rubs?”

Please say yes.

[alizalayne]

critical thinking comic transcript below the cut

I saw a post recently that posited that there's "no way to know" if an ewe exhibits homosexual mating behavior because they "just stand still"

many people responded

"This too is yuri"

"A total of 173 ewes in 24 one-sire breeding pens were observed continuously for one estrous period. The female frequently initiated sexual contact by seeking out the ram. In general, ewes followed the rams about while in heat. When two or more were in heat simultaneously, certain ewes bunted or crowded other estrous ewes in an attempt to gain the attention of the rams." Mating behavior of the Ewe C. V. Hulet, R. L. Blackwell, S. K. Ercanbrack, D. A. Price, L. O. Wilson Journal of Animal Science, Published 01 November 1962

What do we gain by the extrapolation of this behavior onto human lesbians? What do we lose?

When were "single women" first free to do as they liked? Women gained the right to own property in the United States in 1900. For Pre-civil-rights-era black women this expansion of womens' rights hardly helped.

Marital rape became a crime in 1993.

No-fault divorce was not fully legalized until 2010. Women who could have been raped by their husbands at age 20 are now 52 years old. Women older than that lived in this reality.

"no-fault divorce correlates with a reduction in female suicides and a reduction in intimate partner violence. A 2004 paper by economists Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolvers found an 8 to 16% decrease in female suicides after states enacted no-fault divorce laws. They also noted a roughly 30% decrease in intimate partner violence among both women and men, and a 10% drop in women murdered by their partners." What is no-fault divorce, and why do some conservatives want to get rid of it? AJ Willingham, CNN

It's still legal to institutionalize minors for gender deviance and the practice of non-consensual institutionalization of women for gender deviance has existed as long as the institutions themselves.

What about this story of two ewes appeals?

"Other sexually active females in the group will allow you to observe if the individual is in standing heat when other sexually active females are present to mount her." "Characteristic behavior for the ewe is rapid tail movement or raised tail in the presence of the ram. She will demonstrate secondary estrus behaviors such as nervousness, walking the fence or increased vocalizations for the ram" Estrus Detection in Farm Animals Yeager, Neary, Singleton Purdue University Department of Animal Sciences

YOU MUST LOOK

OR YOU WILL NOT SEE.

Is there a fence here?

..

may this new year in your lives bring greater joy and prosperity ❤️🌹

Govardhan Pooja ... नमस्कार 🙏

and the festivities continue .. as do all the rituals .. and among all this Australia declares the month of October as a heritage month of Hindu festivities .. grace and divine blessings ..

But the intimacy of soft celebrations and the adherence to the control of many environmental obligations is revered .. as another year of the year of Lights ends , to another day of light ..

The intrigue of religious festivities .. their time and date and occasion still brings a wonder to many .. indeed to a great many .. and the readings of our Ef Sudhir and his dedicated research on the subject does evoke curiosity .. and awareness ...

The Calendar

There are two lunar calendars in the Jyotish Shastra… One is Purnaant and the other is Amaant…

There's a gap of 15 days between the two, although the order of the months are the same…

For instance, Deepavali's Lakshmi puja is on Purnaant Kartik Amavasya… while the same day is Amaant Ashwin Amavasya in some states…

So, the festival has a different reason in each region, and one common reason at the national level…

Like, the South, where the Lakshmi puja night of diwali is to recall the victory of Krishna over Narakaasur… In the North, it's for the return of Shri Ram to Ayodhya…

The concept of a civilisation made of many cultures dates back to the Treta Yug…

Diwali is celebrated for different days in different places… One day, three days, five days and eleven days… depending on the local history…

Yes… the different calendars, different cultures, but the same festivals, and the same civilisation…

You know, what… I think it's always an advantage when we do something that has no precedence… when there is nothing to refer…

This organisation of a nation is first envisaged in the chronicles of the satyug… each kingdom was called a country… group of countries was a region… the collective of regions was called a nation…

In Hindi - देश, प्रदेश तथा राष्ट्र…

What calendar do I follow?

I follow Rishi Varāhamihira's Brihat Samhita… In that, there is no need of dividing time into months and years…

The movements of cosmic objects don't need a calendar to have months and years… Only days are enough… Just count the days from a no-moon or a new-moon… the patterns are measurable and predictable…

Like,

The diwali always happens on the same no-moon night… regardless of which month in which state…

Thus, all the differences are dissolved in the universal medium… 🙂

About the light…

Darkness is not displaced by light… darkness is eliminated by light…

तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय।

Easiest way to do it is: Use one lamp to light the next… A series of lamps… Hence, Deepavali… Deep + Aavali - strings of light…

एक ब्रह्म है… एक सत्य है… एक ही है परमात्मा… प्राणों से प्राण मिलाते चलो.

my obsessed gratitude ..

my love and regard ...

Amitabh Bachchan

Capítulo Um: Voo Noturno

Prólogo

Por isso, Aquele que os criou não terá piedade deles.

Aquele que os formou não lhes concederá graça.

(Isaías 27:11 – Versão Japonesa)

A luz prateada que passava pelos vitrais tornava ainda mais sombria a escuridão da noite de inverno.

— Amém. O vinho aqui ofertado é, nesta noite, o meu sustento. Nesta sagrada noite, ofereço minha infinita gratidão...

A voz do ancião, que se prostrava na capela, era suave. Pode-se até dizer que estava repleta de compaixão.

Porém, os olhos da jovem freira, cujas mãos e pés estavam amarrados ao altar e cuja boca estava amordaçada, estavam marejados de lágrimas de puro terror. Mesmo que ao seu lado estivesse um assassino cruel, talvez não tivesse sentido tanto medo — se ao menos seu algoz fosse humano. Se ao menos estivesse apenas tentando matá-la.

— Bem, fiz você esperar... É hora da Santa Ceia, irmã Angelina.

— !

O ancião que se virou segurava um brilho afiado em sua mão. Era a mesma faca que, quando ainda era humano, ele usava para repartir a hóstia sagrada entre os fiéis — uma ‘Kopie’ — a ‘Lança Sagrada’. Mas agora, sua lâmina havia adquirido um tom castanho-avermelhado sinistro, exalando um fedor de ferrugem.

— Tomai e comei o pão. Isto é o meu corpo.

As vestes da freira se rasgaram com um som seco. De sua roupa íntima que não possuía nenhum atrativo, se derramaram seios ainda não completamente desenvolvidos.

— Tomai o cálice. Este é o sangue da aliança... Ah, Angelina. Tu te tornarás parte de mim. Dentro de mim, viverás na noite eterna.

Dos lábios marcados por um sorriso, despontavam presas longas demais para serem meros caninos. Dominado por um desejo incontrolável, o velho trêmulo encostou a ‘lança sagrada’ no branco peito da garota. O coração da jovem, contorcendo-se... em um único golpe...

— ‘Ite, missa est’ — ‘Ide, a missa terminou’ — A Santa Ceia terminou, Bispo Scott.

— !?

Ao lado de uma cruz azul congelada, uma sombra solitária estava de pé. Seu rosto, levemente inclinado para baixo, permanecia oculto pelas sombras, mas seu porte revelava um homem de estatura notavelmente alta.

— Ex-bispo de Londinium, padre Alexander Scott ── em nome do Pai, do Filho e do Espírito Santo, eu o prendo sob a acusação de sete assassinatos e roubo de sangue.

— Q-quem é você, maldito!?

— Ah, perdoe minha falta de educação. Eu vim de Roma...

Responder de maneira excessivamente educada foi seu erro ── no instante seguinte, a ‘Lança Sagrada’, arremessada a uma velocidade muito além dos limites humanos, cravou-se em seu peito.

— Ha! Não sei quem você é, mas não permitirei que atrapalhe a Santa Ceia!

Suas presas brancas brilhavam ── o velho vampiro, ainda trajando sua veste sacerdotal, soltou uma gargalhada no altar onde, até um mês atrás, permanecia como bispo.

— Por causa de tua insensatez, pagarás esse erro com a morte...

— Que cruel... assim tão de repente.

— O quê!?

Os olhos de Scott se arregalaram. Mesmo que a ‘Lança Sagrada’ tenha, sem dúvida, atingido seu coração, o homem permanecia de pé, impassível.

— Eu gostei muito do sermão que o senhor pregou há tempos... Aquele sobre como os humanos são os únicos seres capazes de acreditar em si mesmos. Por isso, se possível, eu preferia evitar recorrer à violência...

— I-impossível...

O ancião, que deveria ter obtido o poder da imortalidade em troca do sol e de toda a sua consciência, ficou paralisado pelo espanto.

— Você... também é um vampiro!?

— Não. Eu sou...

A voz foi interrompida pelo som de metal se estilhaçando. A ‘Lança Sagrada’, que havia perfurado o peito do homem, emitiu um ruído estranho ao afundar-se na batina.

O velho vampiro gemeu.

— Entendo... Já ouvi falar disso quando ainda era humano... Que em Roma, na sede do Vaticano, existe um departamento que cria um monstro terrível. Dizem que usam essa criatura para resolver problemas da Igreja de forma ilegal... Então, você é esse monstro!?

— AX ── Para ser mais preciso, trata-se da Divisão de Operações Especiais do Departamento de Estado do Vaticano — a Arcanum Cella Ex Dono Dei. Minha superior não gosta de escândalos, sabe? Parece que ela não quer que o público descubra que alguém tão distinto como um ex-bispo 'mudou de lado'...

De algum lugar, uma grande foice com lâminas em ambas as extremidades do cabo surgiu nas mãos do homem. Ao olhar para cima e ver a arma erguida, Scott soltou um grito em desespero.

— Você é o cão de caça de Caterina ── um agente executor enviado!

O grito de agonia foi sobreposto pelo som do vento cortante.

Curiosidades

Yumine would try again. Try to fly, but after what Ramlethal had explained about a barrier, it probably wasn't worth it. If anyone could escape, wouldn't they have done it already?

"Mm..." This imprisonment did make her feel all sorts of wrong. She could only fly and for some reason, she was only able to manipulate a small fraction of the wind. Strange.

"They take from us, why is that?"

Even after she is made aware that the action will not fix anything, this feathered stranger still chooses to continue brushing her hand against those indentations left behind on her skin. But it feels…nice. Soothing is a more accurate word. Ramlethal decides: Fine. I will not stop her then, even if I fail to understand it. Maybe this is helping her too?

After the stranger stands, she goes through the procedure of introducing herself. Yumine, she is called. Storing it into memory. “Greetings Yumine, my name is Ramlethal Valentine.” She responds mechanically while taking her extended hand and pulling herself up.

Ramlethal herself off mildly and straightens her hat back into position, as though she wasn't just crushed under a person who fell from the stratosphere. Her eyes make a quick assessment of the area. The bystanders have returned to their usual tasks and recreations. No injuries sustained. No longer is anyone staring at them. All is well.

When Ramlethal’s stoic gaze falls back on Yumine, the next statement that comes out of her mouth may seem out of left field given the absolute flatness with which she speaks it with: “This imprisonment makes you feel wrong."

i was requested by anon to make a tutorial for this gifset and here it is!

DIFFICULTY intermediate/difficult. basic giffing knowledge is definitely required.

while my gifset has a fair amount of animation, the only handmade animations can be found in the second and fifth gif. the rest are assets (the checkmarks, the sharpie circles) (either gifs or videos) i found on the internet and pasted over my gif.

THE BASICS OF TIMELINE GIFFING

if you gif with frames, you will need to use a timeline for the animation to work (keyframes). i’m a timeline giffer anyway so this was another Tuesday for me. if you never used that method of giffing, however, it can be confusing, especially if you never used a video editing software before (the timeline works like video editing). 

so, here’s a breakdown of what is the timeline:

the player icons work like any video/music player in existence. ignore the volume icon.

the gear icon indicates the quality of the reproduction while editing it, not the quality of the end product. think like it’s Youtube reproduction settings on a video in order to save your 4G data, but with RAM power instead. this is very useful if your computer isn’t very powerful to begin with and gifs with VFX are very heavy to handle. 

i always click the loop option inside the gear panel because i like to see how the gif will be viewed by the public, i find watching to play only once isn’t very productive. you can stop and restart the reproduction by pressing the space bar on your keyboard.

every layer of your PSD file will have its own bar. the length of the bar means the duration of the gif, so a longer bar means a longer gif and a shorter one, a shorter gif. for everything that isn’t your gif/screencap-based (ie, coloring, typography, lightning, shapes, etc) can be dragged by the extremities as much as you want, making the asset last as long as you want. the only layer that is limited by its maximum duration is naturally your gif, but you can also drag it to make it shorter.

you can also drag a whole layer bar by clicking it and dragging it, making the start and finishing point different from the rest. be careful while doing that otherwise you will end up with blank frames, messing up the looping of your gif completely.

there’s a needle you can drag across the timeline and it works just like on a vinyl disc, the moment the needle drops, it’s the moment/frame Photoshop will show you.

you can also trim your stuff by cutting and deleting snippets of the bar. for that, you will drag your needle to the desired moment, use the scissor tool and then press delete to erase the unwanted bit.

it’s important to point out that the timeline only allows 0.03x or 0.07px speed, no matter what the speed the gif was before converting to that method. if the original speed is closer to 0.03x, then PS will define the new speed as 0.03x. if it’s closer to 0.07x, then it’s 0.07x. i always change the speed to 0.03x before converting to timeline for the sake of not screwing stuff up, which means i see my gif looping while editing in a faster way than Tumblr users will see when the gifset is posted. this takes a while to adjust to if you’re new to timeline giffing, but eventually you don’t think it’s jarring anymore.

that also means you will need to correct the speed after your gif is completely finished. to do that, i use this action.

you can zoom in and zoom out using the little mountain sliding bar. this will be useful later in the tutorial.

if you zoom to the max, you will see all the numbers above your layer bar. these are time marks. the thing is, they seem a bit weird at first. the bigger numbers indicate SECONDS (01:00f, 02:00f, 03:00f, etc), while the smaller and repetitive numbers indicate frames (5f, 10f, 15f, 25f). that means that the smallest drag of your needle possible (from point A to point B) refers to an interval of 1 frame. you will need to take this into consideration while animating stuff.

you can color code your layers, if you think that makes it easier for you to see what you are doing. this is something i do, not only in Photoshop but every Adobe product with a timeline. to change the color of a layer bar (the default is purple), you can right-click on your layer in the layer panel and click the color you want. the colors are the very last thing in the list when you right-click it.

another organization tip is the use of folders. if you create a folder in the layers panel, a folder is created inside the timeline and any layer inside of that folder will disappear from the panel until you click the little arrow next to the name of the folder in the timeline panel. you can color code your folder as well, making every layer inside of it the same color or even different colors.

THE BASICS OF KEYFRAMES

every change related to any property selected (transformation, opacity, style, text warp, position of the layer mask, activation of the layer mask) will be computed in the exact moment in the gif you change it. if that doesn’t happen, you can force Photoshop to do it by clicking the small diamond next to the property name.

let’s say you want an animation to start 0.5 seconds after the gif starts, so you will drag your “needle” to 0.5 seconds and then make the change (making a text bigger, moving a shape, etc). 

Photoshop will automatically bridge the gap between the state of the gif at 0 seconds and 0.5 seconds, thus animating your gif. 

to start animating, you will need to click the little clock next to the property you want to animate. make sure you click the clock while your needle is at the exact beginning of the gif.

every change (keyframe) will be marked with a small diamond under the layer bar, at the exact moment you changed it. that means if you make jarring changes in a short amount of time/frames, the animation will be quick and abrupt. if the interval is very long, the animation will be slow and smooth.

the selected(s) keyframe(s) will have their diamond painted yellow, while the unselected ones will be grayed out. 

you can right-click the diamonds to delete or copy them. if you have many diamonds and want to delete them all, you can click and drag to form a square and select all of them just like when you do to select many files at once on a PC folder. there’s also the option “select all” under the right-click panel.

you can also drag them and change their timing that way. if you have more than one diamond selected, if you drag them, their interval will remain the same, but the starting and finishing point of those two diamonds will change.

THE SQUARES BAR

the easiest of the two animations. this one doesn’t require keyframe animation, but i put this in the last bit of the tutorial for the sake of its flow.

first, i added the empty squares. they last as long as the gif lasts. after 6 frames, i added the first colored square and made that square last until the end of the gif. i repeated this in a staggered manner (+2 frames delay each colored square) so the colored squares appear at equal intervals. 

THE STATS BAR

the most difficult of the two, but don’t worry, you got this. 

first, you will need to structure your stats, ie, add the text, the dividing line and the pointed lines. that is, if you want to follow the exact design i used in my gif, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to.

next, you will create rectangles that fill the entire stat bars. you will add a layer mask to each one of them and with a layer mask selected, select a rectangle about the size of your original rectangle, then paint it black. you will notice the original rectangle will disappear. if you delete the layer mask, the original rectangle will appear again. that is because you didn’t delete the original rectangle, you just hid it by using a layer mask.

there’s a chain icon between the layer and the layer mask in the layers panel, click it to unlink them.

click the clock next to “layer mask position” with your needle at 0 seconds/frames. drag your needle to the moment you want the stats to end and use the arrow keys to move the layer mask. you will notice the original rectangle will slowly be revealed by you moving the layer mask. you will also notice that a small diamond will appear in the “layer mask position” line in the timeline. you created a keyframe!

if you press play, you will see the animation from the bar going from null to full!

FURTHER READING/VIEWING

this tutorial uses layer mask animation to reveal text too!

a video tutorial for better visualization!

another keyframe tutorial, this time focusing on coloring!

if you still have any questions, feel free to contact me!

and if you (or anyone) else want, i can go in depth in animating each property, i just did a quick overview + explained the stats animation.

The network featured future Trump officials who emphasized border security, even when they noted the suspect was American

Written by Gideon Taaffe & Jack Winstanley

Published 01/02/25 6:51 PM EST

After a truck-ramming attack killed at least 14 people at a New Year's celebration in New Orleans, Fox News misreported that the vehicle used came across the southern border two days earlier, implying that the suspected perpetrator — later identified as an Army veteran born in the U.S. — had also crossed the border. 

Although the network has seemingly attempted to quietly walk back the false information, Fox personalities and guests — including some former and incoming Trump administration picks — have continued to baselessly connect an act of terror reportedly committed by a U.S. citizen to the southern border in order to fearmonger about terrorists entering the country.

One thing for sure is Beatrix was minding her own business. She was translating her own words using a translator, knowing the library is closed at this moment. The man seems to be observant to languages as curious about it as she translated his words from a translator app. Finally, she's learning!

Only reason why he gained her attention as she looked at him back.

"Deutsch! Ich bin in Deutschland geboren, also ist das meine Muttersprache!" She was happy to answer his question but somehow... is he German too? Wondering it to herself.

@amerhauser

many were quick to label Titus as stupid or dumb or some other mean variation of the word, but he had his strong suits-- languages being one of them. he had learned that his mother tongue was considered a dead language here, but it hadn't concerned him when everyone seemed to be able to understand right away. however, when a girl passed by saying something to herself, he couldn't understand in the least bit. something he'd never heard before?

"What language is that...?" he asks, more to himself than to her, not expecting an answer but still hoping for one.
