#Thirst for Power

[dreaminginthedeepsouth]

The thirst for power and possessions knows no limits. In this system, which tends to devour everything which stands in the way of increased profits, whatever is fragile, like the environment, is defenseless before the interests of a deified market, which become the only rule.

—Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium § 56 (2013)

This Video explains a lot.

Nikola Tesla was a Genius, a Wizard. He pushed for a World with Free Energy. He was neither greedy nor selfish, yet he died alone in a Hotel.

Another Genius, Thomas Henry Moray, was never successful, because his Inventions were never patented.

Watch the Video.

I guess USA only patents stuff, through which the greedy corporate Companies can suck the Blood of every person. Take Insulin for Example. Patented free of Cost by the people who discovered and invented a way of using it. Now it is being horribly exploited in America, the "greatest" Country of the World.

Almost 100 years later, people are coming up with same Ideas as Nikola Tesla, but not sure if the motherfucking, greedy, rich Bastards will allow them to develop these Ideas and help the Population of Earth.

The Lady in the Debate, in the Video, says that she wants to see the Companies compete against each other IN THE MARKET. Why? Why compete? This stuff will need money for initial Setup and then occasional maintenance Charges, other than that it can produce Energy free of cost! But you wouldn't get rich from that. Now would you?

If these are implemented, then the world will not need to depend on horrible Countries of the Middle East, like Iran, for fossil fuels. Europe will no longer need to dependent on Russia for Natural Gas and Fossil Fuel.

That is where these Countries get their Power from. Money from Fossil Fuels and Natural Gas.

Develop technology > need for this Stuff to produce Energy is turned off > these horrible Countries lose their power and importance.

But we are the public. Right?

We are too dumb and should only follow the "leaders". Right?

Yeah.....

On another Note, Greta Thunberg was in Davos. I am pretty sure that she did not bring these Facts up at the World "Economic" Forum. Just a collection of rich people, flying on their private Jets for a Fancy, make-believe Meeting....

After watching the latest Developments....

- Pfizer's plans to mutate Corona Virus and cause another, much horrible Pandemic in 2023.

- USA Patent offices silencing people coming up with Inventions towards Free Energy.

- USA being the reason for strengthening of Taliban and for origin of ISIS.

- Provoking Russia, adding fire to the already unstable Relationship between Russia and Ukraine and then sending Weapons as "Defense".

- USA being the reason of uncountable, unimaginable, horrible Deaths.

And many other horrible things...

I can honestly say that I hate the USA.

Please die soon, USA.

The world would then surely be a safer, more peaceful and much more environment-friendly Place.

Please watch the Video.

Please share.

TROP fandom rn:

Part: 76/?

[theweeklydiscourse]

I’m sick of people passing off patronizing and condescending commentary about how naive and impressionable women are as useful and educational. These people will base their analysis of fiction on sexist notions about how easily women are “tempted “ by malevolent villains and then act as if that’s some revolutionary take. They’ll unironically construe the narrative in a way that takes away all agency from the female heroine and frame her decisions as entirely the result of the villain’s manipulation.

They wring their hands about how dangerous it is for women to be exposed to these stories and moan about how terrible it is that hot villains appeal to the “baser instincts” and tempt female viewers further (Yes, I actually saw someone make this argument) It’s truly bizarre to see people agreeing with such patronizingly sexist rhetoric and saying things like “I miss the days when villain romances were cautionary tales and not encouraged.” As if women thirsting after attractive fictional villains is some epidemic that threatens society.

It’s especially irritating when women are the ones saying these things. They want to believe that they are a rare exception that, unlike those other brainless girls, can understand that liking hot villains will threaten their morals and lead them astray…OH THE HORROR!! Please save your dramatic preaching for the next purity conference and stop pretending that your sanctimonious commentary has any substance whatsoever.

Boyfriend | Aki Hayakawa

★ pairings: aki x f!reader

★ synopsis: being aki's favorite girl has many perks.

★ a/n: i couldnt stop thinking about boyfie!aki omfg... brainrot.

★ c.w.: fluff, nicknames, smut(ish). no beta we die like... ahem.

1. He's thoughtful!

Aki is notoriously attentive when it comes to his line of work, but nothing compares to how attentive he is when it comes to you and your needs. He can read you like a book. It's just something about those eyes of yours, something about the way you look at him that tells him all that he needs to know about you -- he's got you all figured out.

When it's a party or a work event, he can see your expression a mile away. You would be perched in the corner, anxiously swirling your drink around. He'd reach an arm around you, pulling you close enough that your shoulders would bump into his chest. "Do you want to leave?" He'd ask. And how could you refuse -- when he made it sound so tempting?

He'll remember little things about you -- the shows you like, your favorite foods, your favorite fabrics to wear. His brain is like a little notepad, full of facts about you. When you're having a particularly, bad day, he'll bring home a container of your favorite soup from the place up the street he knows you love. He'll treat you to trinkets and sweaters (sometimes printed with the name of the last town he visited on the mission, sometimes they were his) and whatever stupid little thing makes him think of you (seriously, he brought you a rock with googly eyes from a gift shop in Shibuya once because, and quote, "It reminds me of you").

He knows your body like the back of his hand; knows where you like being kissed, touched, caressed, held. He knows you like it's second nature, like you're an extension of himself.

2. He can cook

You're grateful for that, considering that if he couldn't cook, the two of you would have been completely fucked. You're about as gifted in the kitchen as a toddler with a wooden spoon.

It's okay though. He doesn't mind. He loves cooking for his pretty girl. Curry, Stews, Rice, Chicken -- whatever your little heart desires (or whatever he's decided is on the menu for tonight). And he's good at it, too. He's got a real talent for cheffing it up. The kind of talent that makes you moan words of praise through mouthfuls of food while you chow down.

"You like it?" He'd ask, a teasing lilt tinging his words.

"Fuckin' perfect," You'd reply, voice muffled by mounds of food. "You got a gift."

He wouldn't have believed it had it come from anyone else. But for you? He would have to make an exception.

He only wished he could make enough for you to take leftovers. With two ravenous roommates, however -- the kind that scarf down just about everything but the plate -- that was kinda hard.

(Still, whenever he could, he would sneak a few extra servings into some containers to give to you.).

3. Super Affectionate

You love it when he comes home to you. You love it when he collapses into your arms and wraps his strong arms around you, swaddling you entirely with his warmth. You love when he takes you out with him -- takes you shopping, takes you on dates, takes you on grocery runs to get a brief moment of peace from his roommates.

Aki is nothing if not proud of his girlfriend. Though usually quite timid and stoic, he has no qualms about claiming you in public. (sometimes in a family bathroom stall, if it's one of those days). He'll walk around with his hand on your lower back, your waist, your hip, your ass -- whatever he can get ahold of to let the world know that you're his.

It's usually you who initiates the PDA. He's the one who runs with it.

It'll start with a kiss to his lips, his jaw, his neck, his nose. That's all it takes for him to be pulling you in for more, suddenly rather careless about who sees the two of you. He'll ask you for a kiss. Then another. Then another. Then one last one (it's a trap).

And you, being the lovestruck idiot that you are, you'll stand up on your tippy toes and give him all of the kisses you can muster.

At work parties, you're never far from him -- never out of his line of sight. He said something about his coworkers being "dogs", but you had yet to experience even a double glance in your direction. Being with Aki was like having a bodyguard.

He loves it the most when you sit on his lap. He'll pull you close to him by the waist, hugging your legs from where he's seated. He'll let you entertain his drunken coworkers for a few minutes, perhaps even a few comments from Denji about your looks, and then he'll tug you down to take a seat where you belong (in his lap. no one else's. his lap).

Your pretty face would flush for a moment, stuttering to find the words to continue what you had been saying. He didn't care about anyone else when you were around -- you made him needy. Still, he would hide his blushing face in your neck, your shoulder. Breathe in the scent of your expensive perfume, the scent of your skin that was so uniquely you.

Baby, he'd call you.

Princess, Mama, Angel face.

He couldn't keep the pet names away. It was what gave your relationship away to everyone to begin with, after all. It had been a small meeting with a few Devil Hunters, only two beers in, and you had handed him his third.

"Thanks, Baby," He murmurred, the ghost of a smile playing on his lips as he tilted his head back. His eyes widened the moment he realized what he had done.

"Baby?" Himeno repeated.

"Baby?" Denji echoed.

"Like, an infant?" Power chimed in. Denji went to explain.

Aki sputtered profusely, hurried chants of, "Wait, wait--" leaving his lips. And you would just laugh, letting him feel the backlash from his coworkers.

"You are dating! I fuckin'-- HIC! -- knew it!" Himeno pumped her drink in the air. "You lyin' little shit."

Not like the way he looked at you didn't give it away from the beginning.

4. Way with words

He loves to spoil his girl. Not just with money (although he certainly doesn't hesitate to buy you whatever your heart desires, or to send you a couple thousand to treat yourself to something nice).

He spoils you with his words, with his saccharine tongue that overflows with pretty things the moment the two of you are alone.

"My pretty girl," He'll say. "Only mine. Only for me."

"Only for you," You'll say back.

He has a certain way with words. Perhaps it's the bluntness of it that makes you fall harder for him. He never hesitates to tell you exactly what's on his mind.

It's a whisper of, "I love you," against your cheek.

It's a grumble of, "Want you," while he leaves fleeting touches of your waist and hips.

And God, he knows how to talk your panties right off.

Lips pursed around a cancer stick, he'll breathe out everything you want to hear.

"'M gonna marry you some day," He'd say. "If I don't, I'll die trying."

"I love the way you look in that dress."

"Your eyes look so pretty."

"You take me so well, pretty."

Whoops. Did I let that last one slip out?

Well, then, I suppose that leads me to number 5.

5. Fantastic Lover

Aki is gifted in a multitude of ways. One of your personal favorites? His hands. His hands on your face, your chest, your lips -- his rough grip on your hips while he devours you.

He loves to spoil you with his attention. Sometimes, that means he'll have you clawing at the bed with anticipation before he even thinks about going faster.

"Can't rush perfection," he'd say.

And you'd tell him, "Shut up and fuck me."

He can't get enough of you. On the bed, on the floor, on the kitchen counter while everyone is still asleep -- he's addicted to the taste of you whenever he can have it. He loves the way you fall apart around him, around his tongue, hips jumping up to ride his face.

He's told you he'd die a happy man if you crushed him. You think that might be the truth.

His fingers are long and thick -- a little calloused, but none the less gentle as they press against your neck, as they slip into your needy pussy. He works you open like it's his job, effortlessly finding that spongy place inside of you that makes you gasp out for him, makes you clutch at his inky black hair as he leans in to give you an experimental lick.

You love his tongue. Devilish thing he is, he'll eat you out for his own pleasure -- until you're clawing at him, tugging the sheets off of the corners, leaving a trail of wetness on his fingers. He has this way of sucking and fucking you so divinely that you forget your name -- suddenly, the only one you can think of is his.

"Aki..." You'd whine. Quietly, still, but getting a little louder while you crept closer and closer to your peak.

"Quiet, Baby," He would hush you, adjusting your legs over his shoulders while he devoured you. "Don't want anybody to hear you, hmm?"

He'll eat you out until you're begging for more, pleading for him.

And then, if you've been good, he'll give it to you -- all of him, everything he has to offer. He'll pound you so far into the mattress that the next morning, when you get up to eat breakfast with him and his roommates, you can do nothing but avoid eye contact at all costs, limping into the kitchen and sitting down slowly (lest you hurt your tender back, the one he'd blown out).

"Rough night?" Denji had asked you once, munching on a mouthful of scrambled eggs.

You swallowed thickly, nervously, hoping he wouldn't notice the way you were glancing between him and Aki, whose back was turned to the three of you while he finished cooking.

You scooped some eggs onto your plate, taking a bit onto your fork and shoveling it into your mouth (to give you an excuse to not reply).

But you'd be found out soon enough.

"Sure sounded like it," Power added, tilting her head at you. "Were you injured?"

Aki choked, but disguised it with a cough.

You quirked your brow. "No, why?"

Denji looked up at that, pausing to swallow before he gave his two cents. "You sure?" He asked (teasingly). "We could hear you crying out from down the hall."

You choked on your egg. Aki turned the stove off, whipping his head around to promptly whack Denji on the back of his head with the spoon he had just been stirring up eggs with.

You’re all welcome.

so i had a vision. based on this tweet x.

"[...] but also having Elrond change throughout the season: physically, emotionally, mentally. He looks different by the end of the season. He looks older."

- Robert Aramayo, via Cinema Express

His arc this season is deeply rooted in being an "outsider in his own kingdom", which a lot of people have mentioned could parallel Galadriel's storyline last season, but I don't think that it's meant to be a hitch or temporary downfall in his case. His friendships have been put in jeopardy, yes, but I don't think this is necessarily an inner struggle Elrond is supposed to resolve so much as a lesson to push through and benefit from. From what we've seen so far, the writers are using his isolation as a tool to propel him into a position of power more akin to the Elrond we eventually see in the Third Age--we see him take counsel from Círdan that he later echoes into Rivendell, we see him promoted to two commanding positions (leading the expedition & then the army) by the king who repeatedly shunned him last season, and we see him exercise his lore-master knowledge to save the life of someone under his command.

TLDR: Here's how my "Elrond will establish Imladris in the season 2 finale" agenda can still win,

[jpegsthatmove]

Can’t wait to see how big the cups are in Veilguard

[crazyaboutto]

Some hot Sauron moments from Season 1 Part 4

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3

Then he is back to his stupid sexy dirty ragged shirted era. We see his side boob again 👀👀 Someone needs to tell him "cover them up you slut" for his arms

Then we got his turned-on look when Galadriel has knife to throat

The look he is giving to Galadriel and his desperate eyes. If she said yes, he'd be so undone here and that's very sexy of him to do so

Of course we also get the unhinged Sauron too. Honey, you look amazing even when your eyes turned slit and your veins are about ot pop with Maia blood

Finally his Mordor core aesthetics. Did he make sure the wind blows from the correct angle so he can give us this shot? Or is his face card so powerful that the weather bends to his will for hot moments?

[sun-snatcher]

Unfortunately Sauron WOULD succeed in the modern world because all he has to do is film a thirst trap and he’d have the entire population under his command

[margauxmara]

I wanna draw so much smut with Adar in this style 🥲

[cottoncandiescupcakes]

Watching TROP isn't enough I need a man to bad touch Gil-Galad and pull that hair in season 3
