Terra: I'm so glad you agreed to this date, Jaune~.

Jaune: This isn't a date, Terra. We're just having dinner together.

Terra: Y'know, when I said I wanted some meat tonight, I wasn't expecting this~.

Jaune: (Picks up burger) Yeah, well, the only place open right now is Burger Queen.

Terra: (Sucks fingers, Moans) This was so good, Jaune! You're the best little brother I could ever ask for~!

Jaune: Again, I'm your brother-in-law.

Terra: I dunno. Your dad did get around a lot when he was younger, right? And we do kinda have similar eyes-

Jaune: WE'RE NOT FUCKING, TERRA.

Terra: Ugh! Fine!

Jaune: You should stop trying. Literally NOTHING is going to make me hook up with my sister's wife.

Jaune: (Scroll buzzes, Reads)

NEW MISSION! Mission Title: Sister-Leveling - My Sister-in-Law Can't Be This Cute~! Mission Objective: Slay them cheeks like you're a god damn huntsman!

Jaune: NO! I REFUSE!

This mission CANNOT be refused.

Jaune: BULLSHIT!

Terra: Who are you talking to?

Jaune: NOT NOW, TERRA!

Terra: Yes, Daddy~!

Failure to complete this mission will result in your IMMEDIATE DEATH.

Jaune: ...

Jaune: (Sighs) Terra, where's the hard liquor?

Terra: In the freezer. Why?

Jaune: The HARD liquor, Terra.

Terra: In the basement, inside the locker.

Jaune: Okay, then. (Stands up, Walks downstairs)

Terra: ...Jaune?

Jaune: (Comes back up, Downs entire bottle) Hah... Okay...Nobody hears about this.

Terra: No one will hear except the neighbors!

Jaune: ...God, I hope Saph doesn't find out.

[jaune-submissive-and-breedable]

Terra helped forged Jaune's transcripts, in exchange she gets to peg him for a night. (Saph can watch is she likes.)

Through out the Cotta-Arc residence, not a single creature, animal or human could be seen giving the impression that nobody was home. The only indication that someone was home were the muffled moans and the sound of flesh that echoed from the master bedroom. Piering inside, you'd find one Jaune Arc, kneeling on the bed with him facing the headboard which he used to brace himself from the force behind him. His naked body covered in sweat, heavy pants and moans escaping from his open mouth. He yelped when a long black gloved hand grabbed his messy blonde hair and yanked his head backwards. Tracing the gloved hand back to its origins, it belongs to his sister in law, Terra, a feral and lustful smile adorned her lips as she glared into the back of his head.

"T....T....Terra!" He stammered "P...P...Please....S.....S..SLOW DOWN!"

The woman in question going full dominatrix. Her hair done up in a bun, long black silk gloves stretched over her arms, a black corset wrapped tight around her small frame, black satin underwear covered her neither region, fishnet stockings and long leather boots ran up her long plump legs, and a black strapon harness with a massive black dildo getting shoved deep in her brother-in-law's tight asshole.

"Slow down?!" raising her riding crop, she brought it down hard on his already red cheek, "Slow down?! Slow Down?! After what you asked from me?! You deserve ever thing i dish out!"

She brought the crop down a couple more times as she thrusted harder into him. Licking her lips as she did.

"Compared to what they'd do to you in prison, this is child's play" She sneered sadistically,

She granted him no mercy, instead striking him once with her crop making him cry out in pain. Sadistic glee on her face hearing and seeing his pain. Stopping her hips centimeter from his and gave a few small thrusts. Her own moans softer and more less frequent than his own.

"Better yet, you might end up a Grimm's bitch with your lack of skill~" She teased, though it was also a bit of a warning too, as Grimm were sometimes known to attempt to mate with captured hunters.

Yet for all her teasing and sadism, she does care. Jaune was a sweet kid, but his wild and reckless behavior may get him killed if he's not careful. But for what it's worth, he may do some good as a huntsman. However, Terra had to stake her claim first.

"T...T....TERRA I'M GONNA..."

Terra immediately released her grip from his hair and directed it towards his erect cock, squeezing it tightly to prevent his oncoming climax.

"DON'T YOU DARE! I JUST WASHED THESE!" She scowled, but it wasn't enough. Soon as she said those words, Jaune shot forth a massive wad of cum onto the bedding below, staining it permanently with a quite literal pool of seed. Terra marveled at the volume, his genetics causing him to produce incredible amount of seed in his meaty testies. After five minutes, his began to show signs of stopping. Jaune panted heavily riding out the last moments of is orgasm, his body going limp for the rough pounding he took.

Terra pulled her strapon out of his rectum as well as removed her hand from his cock. Staring at the sticky fluid coating her hand, she gulped, a small part of her twitched with desire. In one quick motion, she devoured it all, being sure not to waste a single drop. Once she was done, she placed a hand on her chest, unable to deny the burning sensation.

"Saphron dear"

To the right of the duo sat Saphron arc, sister of Jaune and wife of Terra, spread out in a chair watching her wife pegging her brother. In a similar to her brother, the only real difference being the blue collar around her neck, masturbated to the sight. Once she heard her name, she snapped to attention.

"Be a dear and keep Jaune warm. I need to hydrate then....I think I'd like to try for a child."

Saphron nodded like a puppy and bounded over to the bed, tackling Jaune over and captured his lips in a deep, incestuous kiss. Terra watched briefly before grabbing a robe and heading to the kitchen. For what comes next, she'll need to stay hydrated.

"Forgotten Empire" by Giuseppe Renna.

[megahorous]

We watched The Mummy:  Tomb of the Dragon Emperor this time ! 

-- The Mummy was in it, and...well, The Mummy wasn’t in it, but there were guys in it who might be considered Mummies !

-- At least my favorite character, Evelyn, was in it !  But, she had to be a different actress this time

-- This one was about an Evil Emperor with an army of Terra Cotta Warriors; they probably got that from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles episode “Peking Turtles”

-- And he has control of the 5 elements, like Hao Asakura from Shaman King!  They should make a Shaman King movie....well, it’d probably have to be a series of movies

-- He can turn into Gleeok too [to kill his bus driver?]

-- Rick and Evelyn are so in love !  Wouldn’t it be nice to have a love like that

-- But they shoot a lot of guys too sometimes; one might wonder if anyone loves those people.  They should stick to fighting Mummies because they’re already dead!

-- Oh, the way they get a [airplane] ride from a different guy in each movie reminds me of Kim Possible

--  Alex doesn’t seem to have an English accent anymore--well, he’s only half English; maybe he alternates by year or something

-- It was a fine movie but I think I prefer the first two at this point!  That’s probably to be expected

Palette picked

Prompt list Creatunary 2024

Theme Winged Terra-Cotta Warrior Commentary So naturally a tengu came to mind and naturally I regretted not having any red in my palette ( a note to read ahead for picking colors. All in all I really like how this turned out. I'm getting better at doing my layers and labelling them. So today's theme is planning ahead.

Nightly Newscast

Announcer: And the latest hot news of the day (insert small laugh here), Lancaster arms sales and maintenance business was shut down due to... ahem... improper practices and sales of services that while not entirely illegal permits are required.

Weather girl: Damn I had a reservation for tomorrow...

Advertising

Jaune: Are you sure this commercial is a good idea, Ruby?

Ruby: Yeah, it's going to get us tons of sales!

Jaune: ...I hope so.

------

Jaune: *Doing intense exercises, shirtless*

Jaune: *Voiceover* I'm a huntsman.

Jaune: *Doing farm stuff, still shirtless*

Jaune: And that means I have to rely on my weaponry to function in even the harshest environments.

Jaune: *Wrestling a bear*

Jaune: *Sitting on the tailgate of an old pickup truck*

Jaune: And there's only one brand on weaponry that I trust to overcome any challenge.

Jaune: Lancaster Arms, family made, huntsman approved.

------

Nora: *Watching the commercial* And that's going into the spank bank.

------

Weiss: ...I have made a terrible mistake.

Weiss: *Receives a call, picks up her scroll*

Weiss: ... Yes Winter, I saw the commercial... No, he isn't single.

------

Terra: Wow, Jaune really has filled out~.

Saphron: Yeah... *Insert uncomfortable thoughts here*

[howlingday]

Saphron: So, Terra, how are things going with that guy you were telling me about?

Terra: Well...

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

Jaune: No, stop... It's wrong... STOP!

Jaune: (Hears knock at door, Shoots up)

Terra: Hey, Jaune? I had a nightmare.

Jaune: What a coincidence. So did I.

Terra: Saph's out of town and I don't want to sleep alone. Can I sleep with you tonight-

Jaune: NO.

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

Terra: Not too good.

Saphron: Have you tried being a little more direct?

Terra: Uh...

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

Terra: This running date was such a good idea, Jaune! But you know there are other ways to get me hot and sweaty-

Jaune: It's not a running date. We're just jogging.

As they jog...

Terra: H-Hey! How about a race? If I win, we finish this workout in my room, and if you win-

Jaune: (Near sonic speeds ahead)

Terra: ...Jaune? (Huffs) Son of a bitch...

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

Terra: I'm starting to think he doesn't like me the way I like him.

Saphron: How could he not? Everyone would be lucky to have you! I certainly do!

Saphron: The only person who wouldn't be into you would be, like, some kind of brother? But that's not possible since you're an only child, right, Terra~?

Saphron: ...Terra?

The Tomb of Marquis of Haihun in China

Dethroned after 27 days, the shortest reign among Western Han emperors, Liu He (92-59 B.C.), master of the Haihunhou Tomb, was banished as a commoner, and later allowed to reside near a lake and given the title of the Marquis of Haihun. He died in his early 30s.

Such vicissitudes might have deprived his life of imperial glory, but the relics unearthed from his tomb tell a different story, revealing a dynasty's grandeur.

The tomb near Nanchang, capital of east China's Jiangxi Province, turns out to be the best-preserved Western Han Dynasty (206 BC - 24 AD) cemetery ever found, with the most integrate structure, distinct layout and complete sacrificial system.

One of China's top ten archaeological discoveries in 2015, the tomb has yielded the largest number of relics boasting of  the most variety and the finest craftsmanship in Jiangxi.

Among a raft of  relics including gold, bronze, and jade artifacts, archaeologists discovered a broken lacquer "screen" in the main chamber of the tomb and restored two portraits, one of which is believed to be the earliest portrait of Confucius ever found in China.

Also unearthed were more than 5,000 pieces of bamboo slips of Confucian classics, indicating the prevalence of Confucius' teachings among the royal more than 2,000 years ago.

The Qi version of The Analects of Confucius, which had been lost for about 1,800 years, was found in the unearthed bamboo slips which have been subject to infrared scanning and are ready for further study.

It is also the only tomb with a chariot burial site in the south of the Yangtze River. Five well-preserved horse-drawn vehicles, each with four sacrificed horses, were found, indicating that the owner was among the highest echelons of the Han Dynasty.

Liu, the marquis, was the  grandson of Emperor Wu, whose reign ushered in  a  prosperous period  of the Han Dynasty that is believed on a par with the reign of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty.

"To know Emperor Qin and his dynasty through archaeological artifacts, one can turn to Terra-cotta Warriors. Nevertheless, before the Haihunhou tomb, there were not many artifacts for an in-depth study of Emperor Wu," said Yang Jun, a researcher at the Jiangxi Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and the leading archaeologist.

In Yang's view, the Haihunhou tomb shed light on the mightiness of the Han Dynasty as all treasures bearing the mark of the marquis had been buried with him.

The 4 million unearthed Wuzhu bronze coins attested to the dynasty's opulence. This finding  is the first hard evidence of the Chinese using a string of 1,000 coins as a monetary unit, pushing the original date back 600 years.

Half an idea: Lan Zhan is an archeologist working on an ancient tomb dig in China. He uncovers a terra cotta warrior type life-size figure (Wei Ying) and it comes to life. That's it. Hmmm

Back from China

Now that I'm back in Canada after 26 days in China, here's a link to some of my photos (warning: there are over 500).

I usually travel on my own, and I was with my brother and dad this time, which was fun. I acted as their translator and tour guide (since to get anywhere you have to use Baidu, which is only in Chinese). It was interesting seeing China through their eyes, and we got to do things I wouldn't normally do on my own. We also didn't drive each other crazy - there were no fights, just some stressful moments (which happen when I'm alone too - just part of travel).

We were in Beijing, Wutai Shan, and Xi'an.

Wutai was very interesting - we were the only foreigners I saw for the entire 5 days. The weather was kinda treacherous, which I understand is pretty normal for Wutai. It was very beautiful, though. And we got our fill of temples - there are over 200 there. One of the more "off the beaten path" places I've gone to.

Xi'an is lovely. It's "only" 10 million people, and I'm discovering I quite like Chinese cities of this size. Still bustling and highly developed, but not overwhelming. Suzhou and Hangzhou are a similar size, and I also really love those cities. Xi'an has excellent local food - spicy and extremely garlicky. And of course wonderful historical sites. The terra cotta warriors are really amazing, and we timed our visit well because it wasn't super crowded when we went to see them.

Beijing is the 3rd "megacity" I've visited now, the other 2 being Tokyo and Shanghai. The advantage to cities like this is the endless variety of things you can see and do. You can never really see all of it. I intentionally spent longer there on this trip - 15 days in total - for this reason. We saw (this list is non-exhaustive): the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Square, the Bell and Drum Towers, the hutongs (old traditional alley residences), Fragrant Hill, the National Centre for the Performing Arts, the Bird's Nest stadium, the Summer Palace, the National Botanical Garden, Ritan Park, and Black Bamboo Park. We also ate an incredible variety of Chinese food - Liu Yuning is right that you can find like every region's food there.

The drawback to megacities, in my mind, is that there are just way too many people for me! It's okay on weekdays, but on weekends and holidays (we were there for the mid-autumn festival long weekend) it's way too crowded no matter where you go. I love a bustling and lively city, but at that scale, it's too much for me.

The drawbacks to Beijing in particular, in my mind, are:

the security is way over the top - even more than any other place in China I've visited. Particularly within a certain radius of Tiananmen, where you get stopped for an ID check literally every block and you have to tell them where you're going. There are also a ton of places you're just not allowed to go that seem stupid to me, like their national sports stadium (near the Bird's Nest in their 2008 Olympic Park), Beijing University, and Tsinghua University (those are by appointment only and the appointments were fully booked even a week in advance).

the air pollution isn't as bad as I saw on TV during the 2008 Olympics, but it's still really bad a lot of the time (the air quality index was often around 150-170).

it's way too spread out. There aren't a lot of skyscrapers compared to Tokyo and Shanghai. It has the largest subway system in the world, but the subway stops are very far apart, so you end up walking a TON to get anywhere. Most people ride bikeshare bikes from the subway station, but we couldn't get the apps working for my brother and dad, despite trying multiple different bikeshare apps - it's a big hurdle for foreigners. If you use Didi (their version of Uber) or take the bus, the traffic is often really really slow.

So, although Beijing has a ton to see, I'm not in a rush to visit it again unless I'm going to meet up with a friend there or as a landing point to visit somewhere else.

As usual, I also did a ton of shopping when I was there, and brought back an extra suitcase (which I also bought) full of stuff with me. I also did some online shopping when I was there. Taobao wouldn't work for me because Alipay wouldn't accept foreign credit cards on it (although you can use Alipay for a ton of other stuff there, including the subway, and I used it quite a bit), so I used Jingdong. It's dangerously convenient! I discovered that Taobao does work in Canada, though, with your Canadian credit card. This could end up being a bad habit!

Haha, I was only gonna write a short post but I got carried away. I need to get ready for work. More perhaps later. Let me know if there's anything in particular you would like to hear about.
