Alicia Joe - Wie euch rechte Influencer manipulieren
So. Na endlich. Auch wenn ich ihn so nicht nennen mag, aber die Rote Sonne hat sich zu Wort gemeldet und sich das Video von AJ zur Brust genommen. Man stelle sich vor: der grosse bärtige Mann war so gar nicht zufrieden, mit dem, was AJ da geliefert hat. Sosehr es mich auch schmerzt: in diesem Fall stimme ich ihm vollumfänglich zu. Der bärtige Mann zeigt in seiner Reaction aber auch auf, was AJ nicht gut gemacht hat, was wirklich Sache ist und was AJ alles übersehen hat. Wer sehen will, wie dieses Rechten wirklich zerlegt werden müssen, der darf sich gerne das Video ansehen, wer immer noch denkt, eine AJ sei das Mass aller Dinge, der darf gerne daran glauben und irgendwann feststellen, wie falsch er doch gelegen hat. Eines der Probleme von AJ zeigt sich sehr schnell. Sie benutzt gerne Begriffe wie Woke, Anti-Woke, Wokeness, ohne es selber zu schaffen, diese genauer zu definieren. Damit spielt sie das Spiel der Rechten und benutzt, gewollt oder ungewollt, deren Narravit und leht sich, gewollt oder ungewollt, auf die Seite der Rechten. Es zeigt sich aber auch recht schnell, wie oberflächlich ihre Recherchen waren, wie wenig Mühe sie sich gegeben hat. Karl schafft es, gewisse Punkte sehr viel besser zu definieren und aufzuzeigen, wie die Manipulation der Rechten wirklich funktioniert und wie auch AJ ihre Follower manipuliert. Bleibt zu sagen: Das AJ mit KuchenTV "kuschelt" spricht auf allen Ebenen und in allen Welten gegen sie und lässt mich persönlich zweifeln, auf welcher Seite sie wirklich steht.

COVER REVEAL
Enough with the teasing. It's time.
Tumblr media
CHECK OUT THAT AMAZING COVER ART BY TERRA BOSART. It's the first Alicia Lake Investigation. It's the first widely-released Ravenswood Institute book. IT'S MY BOOK AND IT COMES OUT OCTOBER FIRST.
This is the start for a full-on series of queer horror novels, some connected, others not so much. There's at least five books planned, the second (a re-edit and re-release of the Archivist's Tale from the Windrow-Ravenswood Guidebook, will also release late this year or early next year. But that's besides the point- right now, it's about Saltbrook. What is it? One woman's hunt for a thief that descends into a long-abandoned town and valley that was drowned almost a century ago. It's survival horror in a haunted setting with cosmic horror influences. It'll keep you on the edge of your seat and up all night until you've finished. Digital pre-ordering's now live, and if you want a copy for your e-reader, please DO pre-order. It helps my visibility a bunch. Here's the link: https://href.li/?https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DBK72P35 But this book took me four years almost to get to this point, so honestly, I'm just really happy to see it coming out soon!

shine bright like a diamonds..
I think this is going to be my favourite category.
I was inspired to create Aaliyah by the singer Tyla, so let's think of her as a prototype, so here are a few facts about her biography:
Age: 28 years old, birthday June 15, 1996, zodiac sign: gemini
Living: Oasis Springs, Aaliyah lives in a luxurious, expansive mansion in Oasis Springs. Her home has been featured in lifestyle magazines for its blend of modern architecture and artistic decor.
Musical Genre: Aaliyah is a versatile artist who seamlessly combines elements of pop and jazz in a style she calls "Jazz-Pop Soul." This approach, with its rich jazz undertones and catchy pop rhythms, appeals to a wide audience and has made her music memorable.
Influences: she draws inspiration from classic jazz legends like Nina Simone and contemporary pop icons such as Alicia Keys. Her sound includes touches of blues and R&B, giving her songs a soulful, emotionally resonant quality.
Early Beginnings: she started her musical journey at just 16, singing in local clubs where her powerful voice and magnetic presence quickly attracted attention. She was discovered by a producer and signed her first record deal at 20.
Awards and Recognition: Aaliyah has earned multiple Grammy nominations and won the "Best New Artist" award during her first year in the industry. Critics have praised her unique ability to infuse jazz nuances into popular music.
Fashion: her style is both chic and eclectic, often featuring a mix of designer brands with bold, unique statement pieces. 
Hobbies: Outside of music, Aaliyah has a passion for art and painting. She also actively supports local artists, hosting exhibitions in her home to showcase their work.
Personal Life: A huge basketball fan, Aaliyah often attends games in her free time. She’s been open about her admiration for a well-known NBA star, with whom she’s rumored to share a close connection. Fans speculate about a budding romance, though she remains tight-lipped about the details.
Lots recommended: The Osasis Restaraunt, SBA Stadium, Techo Azul 
With her deep roots in jazz and a flair for pop appeal, Aaliyah Lawson stands out as one of the most dynamic performers of her generation.
All rights belong to the creators, and huge thanks to them for the custom content.
If you have any problems, don't be shy and text me. But hopefully everything will be fine. If you add Aaliyah to your gameplay, tag me under posts, I'll be insanely happy!

The Astrology Behind: Ballerinas
Services
Tumblr media
Happy Friday! Another Venus day, another Ode to her name. We already talk too much about this Goddesses beauty, but not nearly enough about the other equally beautiful influences that have nothing to do with our face, hair, sexiness, makeup, etc.
Dancing is one of the many arts she rules, and Ballet is the one in which she seems to shine the most. I'm sure all type of dancers have some Venusian influence, but it is the one ones who require gentleness, balance, symmetry, perfection, and/or technicality the most that emits her energy in a very noticeable way.
I've compiled a short list of 11 dancers who are well known ballerinas and point out the signs, patterns, or nakshatras that appear the most. If I've missed any other relevant individuals, please feel free to let me know in the comments and I'll do my due diligences to add them!
Enjoy <3

According to all of this data, the signs that appeared the most were all of course, Venusians, but Taurus had the most dominance in terms of Sun sign. There were also plenty of Venus nakshatras, which are in the Fire signs (Bharani, Purva Phalguni , and Purvashadha). Running close behind Venus we had Mars, Jupiter's, and Saturn's influence be it with signs or nakshatras.
Rohini nakshatra which is often found in Taurus is associated with male snakes in Vedic astrology, and therefore are associated with individuals who are gifted in the arts of dancing. Although, the movements are more on the sensual or delicate physical expression than technicality.
The Bhadrapada's along with all the Pisces nakshatras have an association to feet as well in their own way and expression, and the dragon or reptile-like symbols as well to explain their fluidity in movement.
Mars pushes individuals to have a relentless drive, resilience, agility, and overall a gift for exerting physical performance with ease. Jupiter influences appear in their fluidity of movement, how far they are able to reach in terms of jumps, the strength of their legs, and their speed, all which is seen in Purvashadha nakshatra. Saturn teaches individuals to push through obstacles, limitations, delays, and have an immense resistance to adversity. They have the discipline, consistency, and rigidness to follow a routine as many times as needed.
There was a smaller presence of Mercury nakshatras (Ashlesha, Jyeshtha, and Revati) appearing, as well as Rahu with Libra (Swati) and Aquarius (Shatabhisha) appearing the most. It seems that signs appear more in certain decades than others, which says a lot of the art evolving from one skill set to another and that bringing about different eras in ballet. Los of Venus exaltations (Pisces) too.
In terms on conjunctions, the one that stood out the most to me was Venus-Jupiter and Mars-Saturn which appeared consistently in the charts of so many of these dancers.
Venus and Jupiter in a chart talks about an individual whose artistic qualities are constantly expanded or experience growth. They truly have a gift when it comes to their self expression through artistic tool, leaving an imprint on everything they do that loud screams their name.
Tumblr media
Jupiter is also luck and blessings, so these women are meant to find spiritual alignment and abundance by engaging in all Venusian matters. Regardless of the relationship between these two planets, they make individuals notorious and recognized through their creative pursuits.
Fame is also seen this placement because Jupiter expands their energy to the masses on a worldwide level. Their art needs no language, culture, or barrier to keep others from connecting with it. Most of their teachers and gurus in life are women or come from these artistic venues. Their spirituality and values are deeply intertwined.
Both planets sharpen someone's intuition and awareness of being connected to the harmony of it all in order to create a desire of release. In ballet we see movements that emulate an array of emotions or an experience that seeks release through their host. They are often able to inspire others and allow their art to live in the traces of someone else's brush.
Mars and Saturn in any chart create a unique type of mastery or excellence in the house they sit together, and in general the capacity to endure difficulties and restrictions like a real professional. No one said that two malefics is equal to complete disaster, and most definitely not in an era where your ability to sustain pain and discomfort is rewarded.
Tumblr media
From an organizational perspective, these are the individuals who work endlessly (do extra hours, do many certifications, etc) and persevere to the point of reaching "top dog" title, but they can also be just as likely to burn out often and gain responsibilities that later feel like a burden to bear.
In the art department, specifically ballet, it screams mastery of discomfort for the sake of beauty. It's rooted in sustaining the pain of pushing your body beyond normal conditions to attain a higher form of beauty through movements. It speaks of what human bodies can adapt and resist to for the sake of becoming the master of their own minds and bodies.
Most of the charts that have this configuration where women who left newcomers with a whole new set of challenges to overcome, barriers to brake, or new standards of what was to be expected. They become the new ideal to surpass in the art in order to become the "It" girl of your time.
Thanks for reading!

Happy birthday, Janis Joplin! 💙 (January 19, 1943 – October 4, 1970)
Quotes by artists influenced by Janis' legacy below:
"Janis put herself out there completely, and her voice was not only strong and soulful, it was painfully and beautifully real. She sang in the great tradition of the rhythm & blues singers that were her heroes, but she brought her own dangerous, sexy rock & roll edge to every single song. She really gave you a piece of her heart. And that inspired me to find my own voice and my own style." - Stevie Nicks "I think she allowed women to have their pain. Her thing was so borne from her pain. Her amazing talent was because of the pain she had...I think she was so misunderstood, and she was so intelligent, emotionally intelligent, and what came out of her was almost beyond what her physical body could even do as a singer, and what she was putting across." - Nancy Wilson (of Heart) on Janis "That’s really how I learned [to sing], and I was already listening to the greats like Janis Joplin, who I loved to death, and who was one of the greatest rock singers ever..." - Rob Halford (of Judas Priest) "I never knew Janis, I never saw her or heard her voice live, I never witnessed the fireball of fury that she unleashed onstage, but I think I understand. When a soul can look on the world, and see and feel the pain and loneliness, and can reach deep down inside, and find a voice to sing of it, a soul can heal. And hers did." - Melissa Etheridge "I saw Janis Joplin when I was 15. I heard her sing, and I couldn’t believe she was smoking on stage, she was drinking Southern Comfort, and she sang like no other. She could sing a song entitled, 'Take A Little Piece of My Heart' and deliver it so beautifully, amazingly." - Steven Tyler (of Aerosmith) "She was such a huge influence on me. Because she was so different to any other female vocalist of the time. I was used to Cilla Black, Dusty Springfield and those sort of singers, who were great, but Joplin was unique. She was not a pop star, but really belted out those songs. There was so much emotion in something like 'Move Over.'" - Enid Williams (of Girlschool) "You listen to a Janis Joplin record and she just puts — she wears everything on her sleeve, whether she's completely drugged up, it's on her sleeve. If she's totally just passionately screaming at the top of her lungs, it's on her sleeve. You feel like whatever she's talking about and whatever she's singing about, she sang it with no cares, no second thoughts, no looking back. She didn't say, 'You know what, let's take that take again.' She sang it and she sang it with every bone in her body, and that was that." - Alicia Keys

My music comes from many, many, many places. My emotions, my feelings, my thoughts, and conversations I have with people I know who influence me.

Title - Old habits die hard
One shot - Troy Otto x Fem Reader
Warning - alcohol use, mild language and some hot and heavy foreplay.
Disclaimer - I borrowed some of the characters of FTWD but that's all.
Author's note - I honestly loved writing this. Heavily influenced by the Chris Stapleton song that's included throughout. If you read, feedback is most welcome. Reblog if you think someone else might enjoy 😉

I know it ain't all that late
But you should probably leave
And I recognize that look in your eyes
Yeah, you should probably leave
-------
"A storm's coming," Nick murmured, his eyes lifting to the sky, squinting under a furrowed brow. No one disagreed with him. The air felt thick and the sky had turned a hazy, pale orange with streaks of dark pink running through it. Uncrossing his legs that were rested on the table, he stood up, stretching his arms above his head with a loud yawn. "I better go. I'm on the night shift at the gate."
"We're going to make tracks too," Alicia said, "I promised I'd help with prep the breakfast in the morning now the large group have arrived." She looked over at me as I remained in my seat, "are you coming Y/N?"
I shook my head, "not yet, I will soon. Promise." Alicia hovered on the steps of the veranda hesitantly, trying to read my expression but failed. She allowed herself to be ushered on her way by Jake, his hand laced securely with hers as she looked back at me curiously.
I watched everyone leave and stared up at the night sky, lost in my thoughts.
I knew why Alicia was reluctant to leave me behind. I had no reason to stay. Troy and I had broken up a month ago, albeit for the second time after a brief reconciliation. Ordinarily I would have followed everyone else. We'd been on a supply run earlier, the five of us, and had habitually decompressed over a few beers and some food after at Troy's.
Except now I couldn't leave without speaking with Troy alone, I had a bone to pick with him.
I heard the familiar thud of his boots on the wooden floorboards of the porch behind me and slowly turned around to face him. Troy looked around at the vacant chairs and seem mildly surprised that I was still there.
"How come you haven't left with the others?"
"Because I wanted a word." I said curtly. "I need to set something straight with you."
"Okay..." Troy looked at me in question, he crossed his arms over his chest defensively and waited for me to speak.
"On the supply run today, when we were killing that herd...I was fine, you know. I didn't need you to get involved. You can't just step in and save me all the time."
Troy's mouth twitched ever so slightly as he realised what I was referring to. He shrugged,
"Y/N, when we go on a run, we have each other's backs. We do it for anyone out there. That's just the way it goes. It's what the Militia do."
I rubbed my forehead in frustration,
"You know that's not what I mean, Troy. When we're out there, you need to let me be me. I can fight my own battles. I'm not your girlfriend. I'm not yours to protect anymore." I huffed and turned my back to him to face the fields as I leaned over the side of the porch.
Troy's shadow loomed over me in the moonlight as he came to stand beside me,
"Fine. I promise that in future I will not have your back, nor will I be your second pair of eyes on a run or help you out. In future, I will just let you get bitten and count down to the minute until the moment I watch you turn."
I turned to scowl at him,
"You're an infuriating bastard, do you know that?"
Troy smirked, "you're not the first person to tell me that and you won't be the last." He held up a bottle of red wine, "drink with me?"
I shook my head,
"I should probably leave."
-------
There's still time for you to finish your wine
Then you should probably leave
And it's hard to resist, alright, just one kiss
Then you should probably leave
-------
"One swig won't hurt." Troy insisted as he twisted and pulled at the cork, with a 'pop.' "peace offering?" He said, waving the bottle under my nose.
I sighed and took it from him, helping myself to a generous sip. The red liquid tasted sweet and nutty. Clearly not the dregs of the apocolyptic world. I handed the bottle back to Troy with a questionable look on my face.
Troy glugged back the wine with a satisfied "ahhh" before answering me. "It's one of the old man's bottles. I found it behind his whiskey stash. He'd obviously hidden it for a rainy day."
I swiped the bottle back from Troy and drank a generous portion again before raising the bottle to the skies,
"Cheers to pilfering old Jeremiah's alcohol. His loss is our gain!" My wicked laugh echoed in the darkness.
I hadn't eaten a lot earlier on so I could feel the wine was going straight to my head.
This wasn't going to plan at all...
It all suddenly seemed too easy again. Standing together, laughing, sharing stories about everyone on the ranch. I had forgotten this feeling when I was around Troy. This is when it felt right. So why had it stopped?
With every sip of wine, my reasons for being mad at Troy and his stupid decisions seemed to peel away and disintegrate, as if they had never been there at all. I was losing myself in a comforting blanket of red wine and Troy's company. It was a downward spiral.
As Troy drained the last of the bottle, he peered down its glass neck to double check the contents was truly gone and sighed, before placing it back onto the table.
He came to stand next to you and looked over at Jake's house that he shared with Alicia. You noticed their porch light was still on - she must have been waiting up for you to pass. A similar thing must have run through Troy's mind as well.
"She won't be happy that you're still here, you know." He said it with a gentle nudge of his shoulder into mine. I rolled my eyes in exasperation.
"She's not my keeper."
Troy's look said it all, I scoffed and changed tact,
"She just cares about me and doesn't want me getting hurt..." again, I added silently.
Without realising, our bodies had gravitated toward each other, I could see his fingers twitch, wanting to reach for my hand but he decided against it last minute.
Troy lowered his voice as if the world were listening and he didn't want them to hear,
"I would never hurt you, Y/N. You know that. I care about you too much. Its why I do what I do when I'm out there..."
I bit my lip. It was so easy for him to say those words and for me to fall right back into his trap. They weren't lies. He did care about me and he didn't hurt me but it was everything else - the stupid decisions he made (without thinking them through) with a gun in his hand, the experiments, let's not even mention the obsession with his notebook...
I turned to step away from him but in one sly movement, he had closed the gap between us, his legs either side of mine, a hand on my waist holding me in place.
"I need to go... " I murmured, already fighting the magnetic pull that was drawing me closer to Troy, like a moth to a flame.
I didn't feel trapped . Right now I wanted this.
I wanted him.
"Troy, what are you doing?" I whispered. His hand reached for my cheek, his fingers grazing my skin and my eyes fluttered closed, succumbing to his every touch.
I felt the stubble of his chin graze my cheek briefly as he spoke,
"This is me saying goodnight," He said, and I gasped quietly as his lips connected with mine.
-------
Like a devil on my shoulder you keep whisperin' in my ear
And it's gettin' kinda hard for me to do the right thing here
I wanna do the right thing, baby
------
I should have stopped him right there and then, I should have turned and walked away but when your heart says one thing and your brain says the other?
You go with the burning desire that is rushing through your veins and making your head spin.
My hands moved up to grasp the collar of his jacket and I pulled Troy down to my height, eager to increase contact with him and deepen our kiss.
I grazed my teeth across his bottom lip teasingly, emitting a growl from deep within his throat and I smiled, knowing I'd hit his sweet spot. I knew him too well.
Everything about this felt familiar and delicious - the warmth of his hands as they found their way under my shirt, the circles he danced across my torso, the impatient tugging at the waistline of my pants.
I shook my head, "not out here.." I mumbled against his lips. I felt Troy's lips curl into a devilish smile before moving to my neck, leaving a trail of kisses down to my chest. Ignoring my request.
Insistently, I tugged on the bottom of his jacket, pulling him in the direction of the front door, hoping he'd get the message.
With a little laugh, he followed but known for his impatient streak, decided to speed up the process by picking me up. Without skipping a beat, my legs wrapped around his waist, my arms wound around his neck. I pulled back to look at him under the porch light as we passed through the doorway,
"This is such a mistake." I declared, almost groaning. Troy chuckled,
"No time for regrets. Hate me in the morning, darling."
------
Sun on your skin, 6 AM
And I been watchin' you sleep
And honey, I'm so afraid you're gonna wake up and say
That you should probably leave
Oh, you should probably leave
------
I woke up with a start.
I knew that I wasn't in my own bed but it certainly felt familiar to me. As I opened my eyes, I glanced around the room and found Troy sat in his favourite spot, his bay window, notebook in hand whilst he scribbled down in it furiously.
My hand went to my head, I could feel the beginning of a hangover rumbling.
"We did it again, didn't we?" I knew the answer. I didn't need him to confirm it.
Troy smirked, obviously enjoying as I squirmed in embarrassment, he placed his notebook down on the table next to him,
"Actually if you want to be really accurate, we did it again... three times."
I groaned inwardly, having no patience for his humour then threw a pillow in his direction, which he expertly dodged. I then began to move around the room, collecting the discarded clothing from the previous night and dressing myself in haste.
"Why are you in such a rush? I can make us some breakfast before you go..?"
I froze and looked at him incredulously.
"This," I began, pointing at both of us, "is not a thing. This was a mistake, a huge one at that."
Now fully dressed, I walked toward the door to open it but in three long strides, Troy had reached it as well and infuriatingly placed his foot in the doorway to stop me in my tracks.
I stared up at him, eyes wide in rage,
"You can't keep me here under duress, Troy. I'm not one of your prisoners. Let me pass."
"I will... if you answer me one question first."
I folded my arms in a huff and looked at him questioningly.
"Admit you enjoyed yourself last night."
I opened my mouth to give him a seething response but closed it again, he knew it would be a lie.
Of course I had enjoyed last night.
But this was the dance we did, Troy and I. We fought, we made up, we would do the same over and over. We were each other's addiction and no matter how much I fought it, I would always keep going back to him.
My silence spoke volumes.
Troy dared to reach out and push a strand of my hair back from my face, tucking it behind my ear.
This was the Troy I fell for, the one that no one else saw. The softness underneath the hard exterior.
He tried leaning in for a kiss but miraculously I resisted, placing my hands flat against his chest to gently push him away.
"Don't push your luck."
Troy chuckled but nevertheless, moved to the side to allow me to pass and watched me jog down the stairs before calling after me,
"Same time tomorrow then?"
