#Weapons testing

[documenting-apartheid]

Visualizing Palestine: The HERMES 900 is a lethal drone manufactured by Elbit systems and first deployed during Israel's 2014 attack on the besieged Gaza strip. Elbit supplies 85% of the drones used by the Israeli military for drone strikes and surveillance, resulting in grave human rights violations against Palestinians.

36,090 PALESTINIANS KILLED during Israel's genocide in Gaza as of May 28, 2024. The Israeli military used drones for 90% of the targeted killings in Gaza in October and November 2023.

11.5% RISE IN REVENUE (year over year) reported by Elbit systems for the first quarter of 2024, 6 months into the genocide in Gaza.

TESTED ON PALESTINIANS "The fact that our systems are in operational use in Israel helps us because customers prefer to get mature solutions."-Elbit Systems CEO Bezhalel Machlis, May 2024

Elbit systems is Israel's largest weapons company.

Writing Prompt #60 Case of the Missing Town

[In a small rural town in the middle of nowhere, the town folk got ready for bed. The next morning everything changed. They found themselves shrunken down to the size of ants and their homes, cars, and possessions were now the size of a fingernail. Military activity in the area aroused suspicion.]

Write a short story based on the writing prompt. Challenge your writing abilities and see where your imagination takes you.

Don’t forget the first victims when you go see Oppenheimer this opening weekend. Unforgivable not to include them in the narrative.

We love us some Nolan and Cillian but this is also a story that should never have taken place.

For further reading:

This is what happens when the US government goes nuclear-crazy during the Cold War and mines a shit ton of uranium. Lambs born with three legs and no eyes, and human stillbirths and agonizing deformities for those that survive. For decades it was referred to as a Navajo-specific hereditary illness. No one made the link to the mines and the drinking water.

Top Secret!!!!!

A Group Chat Involving Everyone but MC and Luke

Solomon: It's nearly time for me to give MC their preliminary exam. How many stars is MC up to?

Mammon: you serious, bro????

Mammon: you haven't kept track of mc's stars????

Mammon: old man alert

Satan: Four.

Solomon: Thank you, Satan. What other three virtues have been rewarded?

Diavolo: Gratitude from me.

Simeon: Patience from me and generosity from Luke.

Solomon: So, chastity, diligence, and humility remain. I was thinking of having us play Tail Thieves.

Asmo: I love you, Solomon, but no.

Solomon: What's wrong with Tail Thieves?

Asmo: One, it's a childish game.

Lucifer: ^

Asmo: Two, do you not remember how MC behaved the last time you tested them? They were BORED OUT OF THEIR MIND, and it impacted their performance as a result.

Beel: That's true.

Asmo: Any twists you come up with are going to be too predictable.

Solomon: *glaring crow sticker*

Solomon: I'm SURE you have a better idea.

Asmo: I do, actually.

Asmo: It involves testing their chastity.

Solomon: Go on...

Asmo: We'll seduce them.

Mammon: that's a stupid idea!!!!

Levi: youre just saying that because youre jealous

Belphie: *laughing emoji*

Beel: *gif of someone doing a spit-take*

Asmo: I'm being serious.

Asmo: During their last stay in the Devildom, I managed to charm them, which gained me access to their deepest desires.

Asmo: They have fantasies involving all of us. Tempting them with those will be the ultimate test of their chastity. If they're able to resist, then they earn the star.

Lucifer: That's actually a well thought-out idea.

Barbatos: ^

Diavolo: ^^

Solomon: *glaring crow sticker*

Solomon: Fine.

Solomon: Who's participating?

Levi: mammon and i are out

Mammon: speak for yourself!!!! the fuck???

Levi: if this is meant to really test mc then everyone has to commit to the bit and you and i both know that youd tap out the minute mc looks at you sideways

Mammon: *glaring crow sticker*

Levi: while ive gained some confidence i still wouldnt be able to maintain my composure long enough to complete something like this

Asmo: I will provide the necessary information, but I myself will not be seducing MC, as much as it pains me to say.

Satan: Of course it would pain you to say that.

Asmo: *eye roll emoji*

Solomon: Do you want to judge with me?

Asmo: I mean, I kinda figured we would, so...

Barbatos: My participation will depend on what I'm meant to reenact.

Asmo: Are you afraid it would conflict with your duties?

Barbatos: Yes.

Diavolo: Well, if you're worried about me stopping you, don't. It wouldn't be fair of me to expect you to sit this out if I'm planning on participating.

Mammon: WHAT??????

Levi: bro

Levi: he literally jumped out a castle window to be with mc

Levi: he's THIRSTY

Belphie: Unfortunately.

Asmo: Not to be the bossy brother, but Lucifer, you aren't allowed to back out.

Lucifer: Wasn't planning on it. I know where I stand in MC's mind.

Satan: You know, I think I might chill with Mammon and Levi. I thought about joining in the fun, but I don't think I have it in me to see things through.

Satan: And before anyone chimes in, no, it's not because Lucifer confirmed his participation.

Belphie: We know. If it was, you'd be trying to one-up him.

Satan: Thank you, Belphie. I TOTALLY wanted that out there. *eye roll emoji*

Beel: I'm in.

Belphie: Quick question: would it be fair of me to participate?

Asmo: Actually, you'd be PERFECT for this. You can argue that you know MC more intimately than ANY of us. You'd know what buttons to push to make them really sweat.

Belphie: Okay, cool. I'll do it, then.

Simeon: Me too.

Levi: lol what

Mammon: ayo, do you even KNOW how to seduce someone, simeon?

Simeon: How do you think I'm able to write some of the scenes in TSL?

Levi: well okay then

Solomon: So, to confirm: Lucifer, Beel, Belphie, Diavolo, and Simeon are definite participants, Barbatos is a maybe, and Mammon, Levi, and Satan are sitting this out?

Nine people liked Solomon's message.

Mammon: the three of us can keep an eye on luke. we can either help him run the cafe or take him out someplace fun.

Levi: you know you seem awfully chummy towards luke lately

Mammon: we bonded during our fairy hunt.

Asmo: Then that settles it. Solomon and I will meet with the volunteers for further discussion.

thought of how renet would work in rise and i came up with lita as a time mistress apprentice and renet's her mentor and then i wanted to draw lita lol

i gave up on the weapon design OTL i don't know what i was doing

if you're interested in commissioning me: Ko-Fi link

some thoughts and rambles about her under cut

the time powers allow her to hop between different times and places, but not within the same place like leo

time welders can't visit the same time and place twice so if they mess up it's a whole headache to not create paradoxes (lot of weird catch-22s) while non time welders think in 3 dimensions, time welder apprentices can think in 4 dimensions (space; leo actually is of the same level as Lita and is basically self taught) and masters can think in 5 dimensions (time; mikey has the potential of this level without thinking in 4D)

Lita has started a very important test to graduate to the next stage in her apprenticeship (she's basically a freshman on her way to sophomore so no where near master yet) but she lost her test instructions that was on one sheet of paper when she stepped into the boys time (cursed with bad luck)

she's a shy anxious bean about mikey's height and suffers from catastrophizing everything around her and if she goes back at any point before finishing her test, it's an auto fail and she would have to restart the whole beginner course which she really doesn't want to do (she's convinced herself that she'll be kicked out of her apprenticeship)

so now she's stuck in the boy's time trying to figure out what her test was and pass without instructions

also lita is the boy's descendent but the running joke is no one knows of who cause time welders scramble their DNA a bit so if they leave their blood somewhere it can't be traced or connected to anyone

James always be seen in his school uniform because he had to leave school in the middle of day. Imagine he asked his teacher to submit test early so he could go to the restroom then he seek out to fight dudes across South Korea.
