The flies most likely took it as a breeding ground.

Neil Hagerty Mental Health & Legal Defense Fund

You may have seen that Neil Michael Hagerty (Royal Trux / Howling Hex / Pussy Galore etc) has been having a very rough time lately. His wife reports that he "was arrested after an unfortunate encounter with Denver Police on April 14th, following a welfare check. It is important to note that Neil has been struggling with mental health issues for a long time and this concerning incident highlights the urgent need for Neil to receive proper mental health treatment."

There was a GoFundMe to help out, but for various reasons, that has been shut down. Now, it's over on GiveSendGo — I think that if you haven't received a refund from GoFundMe, your donation has gone through. But please give what you can! (Edit: I've been informed that GiveSendGo is sort of an iffy platform politically speaking, but I'm making an exception this time around? Do what you think is right!)

Some other ways to help out: grab this amazing NMH live jam with Ryley Walker and Ryan Jewell; get yourself a copy of the awesome Hagerty-Toth Band LP via Three Lobed; or just buy some stuff via the Howling Hex Bandcamp page. Let me know if you know of other ways to get some cash to Neil and his family.

Neil has been out here in Colorado for over a decade and I've been fortunate enough to see him in action a bunch of times; in particular, some of the Howling Hex shows circa 2013-15 were phenomenal and indescribable in the best way possible. The guy is some kind of genius and he deserves our support right now ...

Dead by Daylight: Werewolf Killer Concept

POWERS:

Ability 1: Maul

Description: The Beast can grab hold of survivors with its clamping jaws and thrash them around.

Activation: The Beast can use Maul on a survivor within melee range.

Effect: When grabbed, the survivor must complete a difficult skill check.

Successful Skill Check: The survivor is thrown a short distance (5 meters) and inflicted with the "Mangled" status effect for 60 seconds, reducing their healing speed by 20%.

Failed Skill Check: The survivor is downed.

Cooldown: After using Maul, there is a 30-second cooldown before it can be used again.

Counterplay: Survivors can attempt to stun the Beast with pallets or flashlights during the grabbing animation to break free.

Ability 2: Deafening Howl

Description: The Beast lets out a terrifying howl, deafening survivors within a 15-meter radius.

Activation: The Beast can use Deafening Howl by pressing the active ability button.

Effect: All survivors within a 15-meter radius are deafened for 15 seconds, silencing all audio cues and the Beast's terror radius.

Additional Effect: Survivors affected by Deafening Howl experience a 10% reduction in movement speed for 5 seconds.

Cooldown: Deafening Howl has a cooldown of 45 seconds.

Counterplay: Survivors can quickly move out of the 15-meter radius upon seeing the Beast preparing to howl, reducing the number of affected players.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PERKS: Hex: Delirium:

Effect: Each survivor has their own personal hex totem. While the totem remains active, the survivor’s movement controls are reversed for 10 seconds every 60 seconds. Survivors must cleanse their own totems to remove the effect.

Scourge Hook: Eviscerate:

Effect: At the start of the trial, 4 random hooks are changed into Scourge Hooks. When a survivor is hooked on a Scourge Hook: The killer's basic attack cooldown is reduced by 50% for the time the survivor is hooked.

Complete fics posted on AO3 this day

1. aggravated adultery by @thisisformyfanfiction [E, 2k]

Draco is Harry’s way of blowing off steam. Draco wants him to be rougher than he is, and finds the secret to making it happen.

2. The Flat White Affair by fiella [G, 47k]

In the wake of the war, Draco Malfoy vanishes from the wizarding world, seeking refuge in the anonymity of Muggle London. Reinventing himself as a barista, he finds unexpected solace in the rhythm of pouring lattes and the quiet of a life far from magic. Gone are the shadows of the past—or so he thinks. But one day, Harry Potter steps through the café door, drawn by curiosity. Every morning thereafter, Harry returns, ordering a flat white, his gaze lingering on the once-enemy behind the counter.

3. Hexes to Lovers by @hoko-onchi-writes [E, 4k]

Draco and Harry are Unspeakables on a truly pointless mission. Draco insults Harry. Harry likes it.

4. Hunger by @fluxweeed [E, 3k]

Malfoy is supposed to be away. He is not supposed to be on Harry’s doorstep, drenched in blood, at one o’clock in the morning.

5. Just a howl by LunaLogan [T, 4k] *typo

What if it was Draco who howled that night when Remus changed into a werewolf in front of the Golden Trio to save Harry? What would have happened then?

6. Nightfall in Norway by @hannahophiohp [E, 3k]

When a mission to capture a rogue dark wizard leaves Harry and Draco deems them unsuccessful the tension and exhaustion lead to an unexpected shift in their bond. As the night unfolds in their tiny motel room, they begin to understand that the line between rivalry and intimacy might be thinner than they ever imagined.

Jily, kinktober, praise kink, and a surprisingly mild nsfw fic.

Lily is laughing.

The sound is not new to James; when they were just friends, he'd make a fool of himself to earn that laugh, and now that they've started dating, the sound greets him guiltlessly. He loves when Lily laughs because of the way her eyes shine and her cheeks colour.

But she is not laughing because of him at the moment.

It’s not that he demands exclusivity; if she is happy, that’s all that matters, but... but the source of her happiness is wagging his tail as he runs back to her, proudly holding the tennis ball that Lily had thrown a good distance.

And Lily, who knows exactly the secrets of this black dog, just kneels when Padfoot reaches her.

"Who is a good boy?" She coes, rubbing his ears. The dog barks loud and Lily laughs, delighted. "Who is the best boy?"

She holds the dog's face; James sees her fingers threading through the dark fur, not very unlike how she run her hand through his hair last night as he went down on her--

Only he didn’t get called a good boy.

And all Sirius got her was a stupid tennis ball.

He scowls. The dog looks at him for a moment, with far more intelligence than any mongrel should have, and then lies on the ground, belly up, whining; suggestive. Maybe James should pout more, because this strategy clear works for the dog: Lily kneels, rubbing the dog's belly; Padfoot is drooling.

"Who is a good boy?" A bark. People around them are chuckling. "You are, yes, you are a good boy!"

The dog licks her face; James buries his nails on the palm of his hands to keep from hexing the dog.

"Oh, you are not a good boy now!" But Lily's voice is playful.

James decides he's had enough. "He just needs to be neutered," he notes dryly. The dog growls at him. "Go play fetch," he says, and throws the tennis ball far away. When the dog just stares at him, James adds challengingly, "A real good boy would catch it."

As he expected, Padfoot rises at this, and very dignifiedly, runs through the grounds. A few people stop to watch the dog.

"Stags are more impressive," he mumbles. If only he could transform now, everyone would see it...

Lily wraps her arm on his. "Maybe we could have a dog."

"I am more of a cat person."

"Since when?"

Since seeing you with a dog made me insanely jealous. "Cats aren’t good boys."

"Oh." She turns to him now, with a smirk sprouting on her pink lips, and James almost wishes she couldn’t see through him so easily. "No one ever accused James Potter of being a good boy."

Her finger traces his arm, leaving goosebumps on its path.

"There’s always a first time for everything," he whispers, taking a step closer.

Lily's hand now circle James' neck befire she holds it softly. "A good boy would wear a collar."

"I would look dashing with a collar."

"A good boy would obey every order."

"Hmmm. I could be a good boy."

"You never saw an order you didn’t want to break, James."

"Maybe I just need some positive reinforcement, Lily."

"Hmmm," she sighs back. "I could offer enough praise. Add some treats." She throws a quick glance around. "Do you really want that ball back?"

"The dog can keep it."

"Good." She offers her hand. "Let’s go see how much of a good boy you are."

He is pretty sure he might howl if she asks.
