Something’s awful SKETCHY about those two girls… but it might just be the blonde one’s hairspray…

[reblogandlikes]

If the betrayal plot is still going to be a thing happening within the IC, I don't want to hear shit about Tamlin and him not knowing Ianthe was a horny, power hungry opportunist hidden behind the bond of childhood friends and title of High Priestess.

The IC are stuck together like glue with a person of Truth, a shadow singer, a general who should be able to sniff out bullshit and plotting, whatever Amren is/was and a freakin' daemati. If they can't figure out that their "brother" or "sister/cousin" is going against them, then...I don't know what to say.

Tamlin had shit on his plate and was being active while these mf's just like to party and order 2/3s of their downtrodden court around.

Books of 2024: THE AMBERGRIS TRILOGY by Jeff VanderMeer.

Up next! This series is how I'm bridging my current writing/revision project with the one on deck for my personal nano. They're both Weird Stories, but the one I'm working on now is Weird (genre), like VanderMeer, and the one I'm planning for November is going to be Weird (fungus), also like VanderMeer. I hope to get Driscoll vibes AND some New Book vibes out of this!

Adam and Eve Sent Out from the Garden

1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which Yahweh God had made. And he said to the woman, “Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; 3 but from the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God said, ‘You shall not eat from it, and you shall not touch it, lest you die.’” 4 And the serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die! 5 For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 Then the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, so she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings.

8 Then they heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God in the midst of the trees of the garden. 9 Yahweh God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 And he said, “I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” 11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” 12 And the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave to me from the tree, and I ate.” 13 Then Yahweh God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” 14 And Yahweh God said to the serpent,

“Because you have done this, Cursed are you more than any of the cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you will go, And dust you will eat All the days of your life; 15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.”

16 To the woman He said,

“I will greatly multiply Your pain and conception, In pain you will bear children; Your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you.”

17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’;

Cursed is the ground because of you; In pain you will eat of it All the days of your life. 18 Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field; 19 By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.”

20 Now the man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living. 21 Then Yahweh God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them.

22 Then Yahweh God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us to know good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever”— 23 therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. 24 So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life. — Genesis 3 | Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) Legacy Standard Bible Copyright ©2021 by The Lockman Foundation.

Inspo Weekend/ Seven Sentence Sunday.

Thank you @freneticfloetry @lemonlyman-dotcom @rmd-writes & @lightningboltreader for the tags this weekend!

From a Canon Divergence Tarlos AU:

“Play nice with Austin’s most eligible,” Paul calls out to them, and Nancy twirls in her denim mini skirt and Dr. Marten platform boots.  “I only play nice, Strickland!” She calls back, arm stretched high with wriggling fingers.  Carlos catches the last of Paul’s final wave goodbye as the crowd of 90s-themed club kids envelopes them both. The music is louder out on the dance floor, but the alcohol in his system makes good company for the vibration of the speakers—spreading like a wave through a gyrating sea of hands and hips.  They’d been doing this for months now — any Friday night they both had off, Nancy and Carlos found themselves here. Not here, as in this specific club. But here, close to drunk and chasing the high of a stranger’s wandering eyes— Nancy backed up against him, the two of them putting on a show for Austin’s most eligible.

Squalo with maxed out stats and the main plot line of the campaign already finished: uhhhh…I get eaten by a shark?

They are just trying to feel something at this point. After so long at the top they are damn bored.

I have been torturing myself rewatching shows I enjoyed but they got cancelled after one season.

An ongoing list:

Deception - Okay, this one is silly but it’s so entertaining. We barely got crumbs for the Cameron/Kay relationship, but they would have been adorable together. It ended with an incredible cliffhanger that would have been great to see get resolved.

Whiskey Cavalier - Holds up so good. The chemistry Scott Foley and Lauren Cohan have is unreal. The entire cast/characters were great. Ends with a cliffhanger, but I assume it had a positive outcome.

The Brave - I plowed through this one the fastest. So far, this one is the one I can’t believe didn’t get renewed. I think the mass appeal was highest with this one. I believe it premiered the same season that Seal Team did, and they were too similar. Seal Team had a bigger star, so people chose that one instead. Unfortunate, because I loved this one.

Combat Hospital - My favorite part of this show was obviously Simon/Rebecca. I did a fair bit of fast forwarding on this one. Lowest on the list so far, but I would have watched more.

Debris - A weird sci-fi show, this one never stood a chance. It’s such a cool, unique show. I was into it. Also, very into Brian/Finola. I would have loved to see that relationship develop.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - I clearly never rewatched this show entirely since it originally aired because I barely recognized anything I was watching. This was tough to get through. It started off so good. Aaron Sorkin does a great pilot and often it goes downhill from there. The cast is the best part, and the throwaway humor is great. The two main couples, especially Matt & Harriet, drag the show down. (And this is coming from a serial shipper.) I hated them together. There is no way they last at all. I’m glad I finished and can move on to the next. This is the first show on this list that I’m not upset it got cancelled.

LA to Vegas - Solid comedy. Out of all these shows so far, this had the most potential for mass appeal. Networks are dumb to cancel comedies after one season. They need time to grow.

Perfect Harmony - 10/10 I actually laughed out loud a few times watching this. The songs are great, and I’ve had Glorious stuck in my head since that episode.

@radioaf / oracle starter call.

Shit!

Alastor is the last person he wants to see right now. The part of Vox's thoughts that run on programs helpfully make a long, long list of people he'd prefer to have come across him in this state of being, and Alastor remains at the very bottom even speaking purely statistically. He isn't an unknown variable, and that's what makes his presence dangerous; Vox knows exactly how much of a danger Alastor could be to him.

"What the fuck are you-u-u-u doing here?" Vox asks, keeping straight posture and open hostility. His speech output chugs and glitches more than usual, and he can feel the expression on his face temporarily shift for a few pixels. "You've got some fucking nerve being in thi-thi-thi-this part of town when I-I'm the one who's running the show over here!"

(It had been Valentino's fault. A rough night had damaged his internal fans and Vox hadn't noticed. His functionality could overheat and shut down at any time; the only thing he can do is maintain a mask of superiority.)

"I mean, seriously, do you wa-a-a-a-ant to get your ass kicked again or something? Believe me, I'd be happy to deliv-iv-iver."
