HEY SO I RARELY DO THIS BUT ONE OF MY FRIENDS IS BEING STALKED AND ACCUSED OF HORRIBLE SHIT SO PLEASE READ!
Toyhouse <- Their call out post
Tumblr media
Screenshot for those who don't have it and I will also include a transcript in case it's hard to read! (It'll be under the read more!)
Thank you all for taking time and listening to my friend, I know and trust them. I think it's DISGUSTING to make false accusations like this. As a victim of stalking and grooming myself I am sickened by this persons actions and I hope my friend Adder can finally get away from this. Send them love and support for me!
Also do not harass the person. Last thing we need is more stress, just help spread this around.
Transcript for those who cannot read the screenshot:
"EDIT 1 : STOP stalking my account. I am not the one reaching out to you. If I want to warn my friends, I can do so In peace. 
Hi yall. this is directed towards the pressure community mainly, but I do encourage anyone who sees this to steer away quickly as possible. 
before we dive in, i am professionally diagnosed with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) from these events, I relive them almost daily. Back in June, as you all have seen on my bulletins, shorelinesiren, known as JD, Jacob, whatever, made a callout post on me, calling me a pedophile and a groomer. I have cleared my name, but the damage is still there to this day. (as of 9/12/24) I am neither, as I was groomed myself when I was a younger teenager. Its also worth mentioning that I voluntarily when into a psychiatric hospital to get better. Jacob released the callout post while I was still in the hospital, recovering, unable to DEFEND myself. He made the callout post to roughly 3k people, through his now defunct avatar discord server and his also defunct instagram. 
My relationship with jacob was strictly monetary as he used me for money. He managed to get me to spend $300USD in ONE MONTH on his adopts, art, and merchandise on his Etsy store. While Jacob ran his Etsy store, He had stickers made for Palestine, which all profit would go to charities/reliefs/supports. I have never seen a receipt of his donations, In dms or the 2 servers we had.  Since then, he's moved accounts 3 times and deleted his 2 avatar servers. Jacob has shit talked his "closest" friends, his brother, and server members to me. While we were friends we used to shit talk server members, mainly 3 people. Danny, Rose, And Teylu. Jacob had said disgusting things about his so called friends, calling them names, talking about how needy or annoying they were and especially how much Danny and Rose were dick riders. Specifically how Danny would suck up to each admin/mod, and How Rose was annoying, opinionated, and how she would constantly ask for admin/mod privileges. Teylu got the worst of it, as they were described constantly as weird, annoying and a beggar.  As for me, I conformed to fit in with Jacob's group. I always have felt it was never a genuine friendship. I've always had the sneaking suspicion that he talked about me behind my back to his friends, while I wasn't around. Only now I feel I can confirm it, since I have found out he stalks my page, and my other friend's page, as well as their partner's.  (I only recently posted about him again since I found out from a friend that he was using my art without crediting me.)
Jacob has a cult like following. Anyone following him is willing to defend him no matter what. He stalks my instagram account through his admin/mod team. I only know about this because when I posted on my story about him not properly crediting me and essentially saying "Jacob I know you can see this, you need to credit me for my art, even if commissioned" He then deleted the art from one of his character's profile, instead of crediting me.
 After that, I had an EXTREMELY toxic altercation with one of his followers, who I'm assuming has a parasocial relationship with him outside of commissions. I also encourage you to stay away from this user, Mothbone_s, who had dmed me back in June when the original post was made and said ; "You're 19 dude grow tf up you're continuing drama no one else cares about like a fucking child." I responded (huge mistake), calling them a glazer, and got back 3 PARAGRAPHS. Mothbone_s had to say "womp womp your a grown ass adult who thinks harassing a minor so long that said minor is an adult now and doesn't give a fuck about you is embarassing Ghost." cont 1, "No one actually gives a fuck you the way you think, we could actually give less of a fuck if you curled up and died right now because we least wouldn't have to deal with you continuing old shit everyone has moved on from" cont 2. "you aren't hot shit, you ain't scary mf, you're just some internet goon with no job, no life and an unhealthy desire for control and attention. now that your not getting it back your trying to take it back yo again in some miserable attempt to make a statement when all your doing is looking like a fucking idiot" cont. 3 "you ever dm me again i'll tell you straight up about how i actually feel about you, you pathetic piece of shit. go be a creep somewhere else and stop thinks harassing the enemies you made by being a fucking lunatic" and replied to the me telling them to mind their own business like an actual adult. cont 4, "if you were an actual adult you'd grow the fuck up and stop dwelling on shit from June" cont. 5, "like, you're a proshipper, you're a dirty pedophile who enjoys little kids and beastiality" cont. 6, "nothing you say is gonna scare me, bitch you ain't scary. you're a zoophile a pedo and a groomer" CONT. 7, "you ain't the big dog bitch so dont lil sis me". 
I have never interacted with this user before. I don't even remember who they are LOL.  Goes to show how toxic Jacob's fanbase is. Makes me wonder if Mothbone_s is projecting. but anyway, It's important to me that you all stay safe and stay far AWAY from both of these people, so you don't hurt like I have.
Moving onto a different topic, Jacob has also plagiarized names and fanclans. My mutual, Donquixotte, has had their original gator fanclan plagiarized. There was no direct changes, everything was almost identical. From the coloring of characters, down to the design of the body and attributes. everything was the same. Jacob has taken so much from other people, I wouldn't even call it inspiration. 
To the pressure community, as well as JC'S AVATAR community, please please PLEASE, steer away from these individuals. They are severely wrapped up in their own delusions. 
Be safe. 
Adder"

Michael de Adder, Washington Post :: [Robert Scott Horton]
* * * *
Letters From An American
Tonight, just before midnight, the state of Georgia indicted former president Donald J. Trump and 18 others for multiple crimes committed in that state as they tried to steal the 2020 presidential election. A special-purpose grand jury made up of citizens in Fulton County, Georgia, examined evidence and heard from 75 witnesses in the case, and issued a report in January that recommended indictments. A regular grand jury took the final report of the special grand jury into consideration and brought an indictment.  
“Trump and the other Defendants charged in this Indictment refused to accept that Trump lost” the 2020 presidential election, the indictment reads, ”and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump. That conspiracy contained a common plan and purpose to commit two or more acts of racketeering activity in Fulton County, Georgia, elsewhere in the State of Georgia, and in other states.” 
The indictment alleges that those involved in the “criminal enterprise” “constituted a criminal organization whose members and associates engaged in various related criminal activities including, but not limited to, false statements and writings, impersonating a public officer, forgery, filing false documents, influencing witnesses, computer theft, computer trespass, computer invasion of privacy, conspiracy to defraud the state, acts involving theft, and perjury.” 
That is, while claiming to investigate voter fraud, they allegedly committed election fraud. 
And that effort has run them afoul of a number of laws, including the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, which is broader than federal anti-racketeering laws and carries a mandatory five-year prison term. 
Those charged fall into several categories. Trump allies who operated out of the White House include lawyers Rudy Giuliani (who recently conceded in a lawsuit that he lied about Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss having stuffed ballot boxes),  John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, Jenna Ellis, and Trump’s White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. 
Those operating in Georgia to push the scheme to manufacture a false slate of Trump electors to challenge the real Biden electors include lawyer Ray Stallings Smith III, who tried to sell the idea to legislators; Philadelphia political operative Michael Roman; former Georgia Republican chair David James Shafer, who led the fake elector meeting; and Shawn Micah Tresher Still, currently a state senator, who was the secretary of the fake elector meeting. 
Those trying to intimidate election worker and witness Ruby Freeman include Stephen Cliffgard Lee, a police chaplain from Illinois; Harrison William Prescott Floyd, executive director of Black Voices for Trump; and Trevian C. Kutti, a publicist for the rapper formerly known as Kanye West. 
Those allegedly stealing data from the voting systems in Coffee County, Georgia, and spreading it across the country in an attempt to find weaknesses in the systems that might have opened the way to fraud include Trump lawyer Sidney Powell; former Coffee County Republican Committee chair Cathleen Alston Latham; businessman Scott Graham Hall; and Coffee County election director Misty Hampton, also known as Emily Misty Hayes.  
The document also referred to 30 unindicted co-conspirators.
Trump has called the case against him in Georgia partisan and launched a series of attacks on Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Today, Willis told a reporter who asked about Trump’s accusations of partisanship: “I make decisions in this office based on the facts and the law. The law is completely nonpartisan. That's how decisions are made in every case. To date, this office has indicted, since I’ve been sitting as the district attorney, over 12,000 cases. This is the eleventh RICO indictment. We follow the same process. We look at the facts. We look at the law. And we bring charges."
The defendants have until noon on August 25 to surrender themselves to authorities.

spider ramble... particularly about false widows
in a Mood™ abt spiders currently, ESPECIALLY false widows. been going back over my arachnid section of the invertebrate module bc i have exams soon and its late and im frustrated abt how false widows get portrayed by the media and percieved by the british public... this is gonna be long and rambly and probably not make much sense and go off in a million and one diff directions sorry i just feel like talking abt spiders. this also came about bc of the big fuckoff house spider that was in my room last night on the top of my door frame but since it was late (like. midnight) and also out of my reach i went eh. ill deal with it in the morning. and then i woke up in the morning and no more spider to deal with! which i should be more stressed about i feel but im so exhausted from the run up to exams and other life stuff that im just like ok cool thats Around somewhere now ig. im guessing it was a female from the size but i cant be sure... anyway without further ado onto the main show.
so here in the uk we arent exactly known for our venomous animals. we have some but they're nothing really that dangerous (to us as humans at least. im not going into venom-prey specificity rn ive had ENOUGH of that recently). we have the european adder (which is also percieved as terrifying bc its a venomous snake but it poses very little risk to us as humans bc they are very shy and i have a lot to say abt adders but thats for another day), wasps, bees, some venomous fish (didnt know this until i found one rockpooling they r pretty neat), even some stinging jellyfish and siphonophores like the portuguese man o war. and then we have the spiders. all species of spider are venomous (minus the uloboridae family, aka the cribellate orb weavers which im not too sure off the top of my head if we have those in the uk... we might have one or two species?? idk but they arent venomous and i think theres another family that has some non venomous spiders BUT THE POINT IM MAKING IS PRETTY MUCH ALL SPIDERS ARE VENOMOUS). there are 650ish spp of spider in the uk and of those VERY FEW are at all medically significant. of these few are the rabbit hutch spider, the cupboard spider, and... the noble false widow. these 3 spiders are all known as false widow spiders. we also occasionally get the meditterreanean false widow, but to my knowledge these only arrive on imports and dont have a population within the uk.
belonging to the genus steatoda, false widows are usually seen as these terrifying death spiders that will kill you just for looking at them when really... they arent actually that dangerous. most cases of bites being severe are either a) a result of an allergy or b) it was actually caused by something other than the bite itself (such as a bacterial infection in the bite, or the "bite" not actually being a bite) or even c) greatly exaggerated by the tabloids (shocker)... like ok we dont have many scary animals in the uk but. we dont need to overexaggerate the ones that really arent as bad as people think! badgers probably pose more of a threat to you than a false widow does. have you seen a badger?! they look so cute but they are VICIOUS those things will FUCK YOU UP and give you TB on top of getting absolutely mauled. a false widow will, at most, just make you feel a bit ill for a couple of days. me personally i would take a falsie over the badger. false widows also only bite in defense! most of the time they bite because you didn't see them and happened to be a very big thing up in their personal space! tbh i would bite too
false widow bites are, to most people, no more harmful than a wasp sting. so its not exactly a fun time but its not exactly the limb destroying death bite that the british media loves to make it out to be. most bites are probably dry bites or have near neglible amounts of venom, so won't cause anything more than a bit of pain. when venom does get involved it gets a bit more complicated bc it depends on how ur body reacts to it. as i said before, most ppl its not much worse than a wasp sting but it can cause things like muscle spasms, sweating, and a raised temperature. it rarely gets worse than that. of course you can be allergic to it which will cause anaphylaxis which is a medical emergency, but this is an exceptional circumstance. most ppl bitten by a false widow will not experience that. the panic over false widows in the uk is a mixture of media-driven mass hysteria and arachnophobia.
anyway in conclusion shoutout brandon collier who did an amazing talk abt false widows during the bhs venom day both at the 2022 and 2023 events both of which i was lucky enough to attend. if i cant go to venom day this year you will see me on the news.

i saw a comment on a video of a rinkhal and i saw a comment saying “what a great cobra” and then the snake nerd in me came out and i kept trying to reply to the comment to tell them ab rinkhals (bc they’re my second fav type of snake) but my phone glitched and i acciidentally kept spam liking the comment and i got so embarrassed i logged off
rinkhals are a snake that have the cobra’s hood but they are false cobras , they mimic cobras but are still venomous . it’s similar to death adders mimicking the look of vipers though ALSO being venomous
talking about all venomous snakes might be off-putting to people so some tame snakes are cornsnakes (my all time favorite snake , beating rinkhals by a little bit) and also milksnakes ,,,,, but they mimic coralsnakes , which are venomous , this is their attempt to protect themselves from predators
i specialise my animal management in reptiles and especially snakes , i’m known as the snake girl i’m lucky to have hands on experience with snakes , including venomous snakes like cottonmouth water mocasins

I'll go with some of the villains from Supernova Initiative, and Scrapyard Boys, @leahnardo-da-veggie
(Supernova Initiative)
For this WIP we have characters like:
The Director: a man responsible for countless illegal experiments conducted on LIVING HUMANOID BEINGS with full government funding, a man who tortured multiple people - especially a 25-year-old young man (Jack) whose little sister he had threatened with violence - for FUN, under the guise of "seeking scientific progress". Someone who is behind multiple corrupt colonization efforts on foreign planets, efforts which led to a series of brutal genocides along with lasting ecological damages. A man who kidnapped two innocent twin kids from an endangered civilization, and turned one of them into a supersoldier - later brainwashing him to forget his twin and his past once he grew up - and kept the other as a control test subject? Someone known for actively funding terrorist organizations and planning to instigate a civil war to sell his inventions?
Eldora: a warlord lady who betrayed and conquered her own people, slandering their ancient and peaceful way of life in the name of gaining power through warfare. A woman who forced the prince of the province she conquered to marry her and provide her with an heir - while later proving to be incredibly physically and mentally abusive to both her husband and the son they had together, whom she saw as a disappointment. Someone who killed her own husband two years after he tried to run away from her torturous grasp with their kid son, letting him die a slow and brutal death by poisoning in front of their boy. A warlord known for torturing and brainwashing prisoners of war, and who kidnapped Deimos Soll - a talented marksman - to try and turn him into her thrall, and then haunting his whole existence after he managed to escape.
Red Adder & Arachnys: The most vicious crime couple in all of the galaxies, the King and Queen of organized crime, a woman and a man capable of such destruction even the most powerful governments and dignitaries do not dare to intervene with their schemes. A duo involved in slave trades, drug trafficking, organ and cybernetic parts harvesting from living beings, racketeering, and all the workings of the criminal underworld. The owners of the most infamous brothels and strip clubs in the galaxies, where they employ captured slaves and thrilled sentient robots forced to obey their commands.
(Scrapyard Boys)
Jake Acheron - A corrupt billionaire raised on a silver spoon, Jake inherited his family's shady dealings and their business, which thrived and expanded under his management, much to the suffering of the city of New Omnium. Known to the world as a reclusive philanthropist, Jake is actually a brutal man who cares little about regular people and who considers mutants as a plague - despite being one himself. He funds the PHANTOM Industries and the Spectre Academies' horrible secret experiments and trials, all to boost his financial power and influence over the city. He is also not above hunting down and torturing anyone who gets in his way, even teenagers like Valen and his friends. Responsible for multiple crimes, with the most notable being murder, torture and money laundering, there is no line Jake will not cross.
Dr. Gladys Murklins - A celebrated and psychotic scientist, Gladys has been the cause of many tragedies, including the death of her former best friend and business partner, Cain Richards, after she set fire to his laboratory with him trapped inside, which traumatized and orphaned his daughter, Saoirse. Gladys is also the head of PHANTOM Industries' effort to great the best super serum in the world, as well as creating other, highly dangerous drugs to "keep the population in check." She's known for a falsely charismatic personality, which hides a horribly sadistic nature and a very amoral scientific outlook. Gladys also knowingly tortures, experiments and drives insane many of the unlucky mutant teenagers (those rejected by the Spectre Academy or picked off from the street) to fuel her scientific pursuits and create a new generation of "superheroes". She tortured and almost drove insane Josh Aleta, Erin Stellern's foster cousin, after the teenager accidentally witnessed something he shouldn't have.
Zander - A retired mob boss and now pimp, Zander holds the criminal underworld of New Ominium in the palm of his hand, being the mentor and patron of a new generation of mobster wannabes, while also remaining rich as can be. A highly perverted and twisted individual, he is known for sexually harassing and coercing his employees, while basically keeping them tied to indenture contracts that are nigh unbreakable. One of his most notable employees is Adrien Rosetrom, after Rhys & Gwyn's half-brother who became indebted to the mob and was forced to become a stripper to survive rather than be killed by Zander's goons.

Howdy y'all! So I've been finished with this piece for a loooong time, but I could never scan it right due to the complex nature of the shading on her face being on a slightly different scale than that of her snakes, but I've reached a point where I feel like ya good enough where you can get some of the feeling of the original work. I'll be honest, it's a bit more expressive in person with special detail around her eyes to express old sorrow, but it doesn't translate well through scan 😓😓. This piece is another of my Soft Sadness kind of drawings, though for good reason. Everybody knows the famous myth of Medusa, but most people forget that the women of Greece had their own version of the myth that painted Medusa as a protector and frightened mother who was blessed by Athena to never again be subjected to the jealous desires of men and gods, going so far as to make sure that she never accidentally hurt another woman. Men viewed Medusa as a monster because she chose to cast aside all that made her valuable to them, shedding her beauty and any love for men along with it, representing a barrier or an unassailable foe that owed them nothing. Women saw her as a hero, a frightened woman hiding from those who had hurt her as she protected her yet unborn children. They say that Athena placed her head on her shield because she was so greaved about her death and respected her so greatly, but also out of guilt because it was her blessing that provoked Perseus. The head of Medusa was used to mark places where men couldn't enter, like shelters for battered women and birthing centres or schools, protecting women like her even after her death.
Edit: added some tags

Fuzzverse: the Cast (version 1.0)
Writing this down makes me realize that this story has way more characters then I have originally anticipated, you know? Anyway, let’s meet the cast, properly. At least I think I haven’t forgot anyone this time around. 
Main Cast. Typical habitat - strike cruiser “Polaris”
Alexander Petrovich Ivanov, more commonly known as Sanya - ex-guardsman, passionate chef and sort of a main protagonist. Was dragged into a series of outrageous adventures and exploits by a Lord of Change and seems to be having a lot of fun, actually. Has a reward on his head put out by the Inquisition, to whom he is knows as Alexander the Accursed. To be fair, his Wanted posters make his life sound far spicier, than it actually is. 
Lacedrace, also known as Hopespark and Crystal Sage. And like a thousand other names. Said Lord of Change and a somewhat mysterious being with layers upon layers of hidden agendas, some of which seem to be centered around Sanya. Optimistic. Ruthless. Nerd. 
Bazgrog and Gromdak, a pair of Ork kommandos who stuck around for dinner and then another one, and another one, and another one... Bazgrog prefers stealth, while Gromdak is more fond of disguises, both are truly outstanding in what they are doing. 
Filit and Lady - when everything in your life goes wrong, sometimes you end up attempting a very questionable psyker thing. Once in a while it ends up in you acting like a tyranid for a while and later escaping after wrestling your mind free and taking a Carnifex with you and naming it Lady. And then tagging along with some weird space criminals. 
Charlotte Illvia - Imperial Scion of Knightly House Illvia, who miraculously survived the attack on her homeworld and was rescued by an Alpha Legionnaire, alongside her mother’s wrecked Knight. This started her own journey across the stars alongside, eventually ending in her, alongside her two adoptive dads, joining with Sanya and the gang.
Adder later named Nidhogg - Knight, who passed to Charlotte from her mother. Wrecked during the assault of their homeworld it was later reforged and remade into an even more imposing war machine, while retaining it’s heart and hundreds of generations of Scions inhabiting it’s Throne Mechanicum.
Alpharius more commonly known as Al, but also Alric - an Alpha Legionnaire, who was mentioned above and became first of Charlotte’s adoptive parents. Initially a member of a vaguely chaos-affiliated warband, his current persona is that of a Blackshield, coming from a destroyed chapter. Tries his best at parenting, runs a spy network and has a pet tortoise.
“Billy” less commonly known as Benedict Ignatius Lavrent - a tech-priest and sole survivor of an expedition went wrong, who became Charlotte’s second adoptive parent. Lacks much of his memory that he have not deemed crucial, while trying to survive a harsh world he got stranded on, and thus wiped from cogitators. Might also have something to do with C’toaster.
C’toaster also referred to as Blinky, Lad and Void - an eccentric shard of an eccentric Star God, who is slightly out there and is stuck in what can only be described as a toaster. A sole reason Billy’s expedition ended in shambles and slowly deteriorating beast of once formidable power. Now sleeps most of the time and trundles around biting ankles. And yet the trace of the true self exists in the false self. 
Oona once upon the time also known as the Eleventh, the Fey and the Queen of Monsters - she just wanted to live happily, hunt giant monsters and do gun trick shots all day, but was forced to be a Primarch and it haven’t ended well, so now there is this 10 feet of depression, emotional baggage and awkward social situations. She gets better over time, but not much. 
Por'Ui Vash'ya M'yen - water caste diplomat whose mission went awry and who was more or less shoved into a battlesuit and forced to fight for her life when all the lines of defense failed and she was among the least few surviving passengers of the ship. Upon the ship discovery by Sanya and the gang proceeded to attack them as well in fear, but after initial misunderstanding got adopted into the family. 
Praetorian - Al’s pet tortoise named as such for being well fortified and very yellow. Unfortunately does lack the iconic moustache. 
Sosig - space corgi, no more and no less. Following a short, but memorable visit of the gang to Fenris have decided to join the crew. Also this is meta, but Sosig is my attempt to convey the original Russian “Сосисочка”, the diminutive variant of the word “sausage”.
“Death Song”- a child of grief, desperation and quite frankly obscene amounts of questionable genecraft she is the last apex predator to ever emerge from the long gone jungles of Arcadia. Oona’s only comment? “Oh, she is just like me, you know”.
Supporting Cast. Typical Habitat - varied
“Ivan” - a lad, a boy, a tzaangor and a little helper. Assistant to Lacedrace, loves books and very excited about really big guns. 
An’Hangra - the tiniest Bloodthirster, your friendly gym bro and also a dog herder. If she is not hitting the gym, she is probably hitting someone with that axe. Vice-president of Lotara Sarrin’s Unofficial Fan-Club. Will tell you about her dogs. Also will should you pictures of every one of them. There are just so many dogs...
Balthrag - cottagecore incarnate and spiced up with some decay, rebirth and tasty soup with flesh-eating amoebas. Spends her days trying to take care of several very active nurglings, doing her best to make Isha’s stay more pleasant and trying to convince Mortarion to try a silly straw for his poison cup.
Shanakay - four-armed purple daemon with an unhealthy obsession with perfection and art. As a main occupation - singer, but as a main job she is trying to don’t go mad dealing with Fulgrim, N’kari and a damn mess third legion devolved into. Hangs out with Guilliman from time to time. 
Iris, Azalea and Nightshade - Shanakay’s daemonette handmaidens. Musicians by trade. Really desperate to fix Shanakay’s love life or more accurately the lack of one. 
Inquisitor Guy, currently unnamed - a daemonhunter from the Ordo Malleus dispatched to track down and banish the Crystal Sage, following her latest appearances in the realspace. Credit given where it is due, as far as Inquisitors go, this one is a pretty decent person. 
Arcadian Wardens - I mean, yes, they are all dead and gone, but still deserve a mention. Wardens were Oona’s Legion back when she was still employed as a questionably useful Primarch. Most notably represented by First Captain/Legion Master Madb. 
Alternate Cast. Typical Habitat - FantasyHammer Universe. Work in Progress
Squeak - alternate Lacedrace - a little meek skaven, who have escaped the Under-empire and started anew above the ground. Not without trouble, but finding a new place and a new family in the end, assisted by a kislevite footsoldier she met on the road. Always wears a colorful babushka shawl, covering stubs of broken horns. 
Moruhin and Ruin - alternate Shanakay - flamboyant and arrogant high elf alongside her winged, scaled and very, very mean dragon buddy. Moruhin was a child to a respectable family before being disowned and flying off into sunset - free at last to go and live this dragon scholar life she always wanted. With a side of calamity incarnate, so Ruin won’t get too bored. 
Hilde - alternate An’Hangra - merry and joyful warrior on her way across the world to study the arts of blade and face off against formidable opponents. Hilde is of mixed descent between kislevites and southern norscans and while being familiar with the Pantheon, she seems to be largely indifferent to them. Sole exception being her admiration of Valkia.  
??? - alternate Oona - scaled, clawed and fanged, wandering the endless jungles of Lustria alongside other Lizardmen, Amazons and towering beasts. Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In her line. Focused. Flourishing. Probably drinking buddies with Nakai.

HEY SNAKE JANUS WRITERS!
I see a LOT of incorrect information when people depict Janus as “half-snake” so I want to clear some things up! And in case you’re wondering, I took a herpetology class and am basing most of my information off of my lessons as well as things I’ve learned outside of class! Warning this is a little long but if you want to learn more about snakes and write snake Janus more accurately, then here you go!
First of all, I believe (correct me if I’m wrong) that he’s based off of a ball python. It’s easy to assume that his vision would work as a thermal camera sort of thing, but that is not true! Ball pythons have heat pits, which are the holes along their mouths which sense heat, in particular body heat, so they can hone in on their prey. As for what colors they see, they have dichromatic vision, they can only see two colors. It's unclear exactly which colors ball pythons can and can't see, as we can't look through their eyes. But research suggests they can probably perceive blue and green. In general, ball pythons can’t see very well, in general snakes will rely on smell, but not always. A completely blind snake will smell and feel more, and if they have heat pits also rely on those. Ball pythons are short sighted, and also have trouble focusing on things that dont move. Side note: When a snake has slit pupils, it means they are nocturnal! Not all snakes are nocturnal, such as corn snakes who are diurnal and have rounded pupils.
Fang time! And teeth time in general. Actually Jaw Time. So, a snake’s jaw doesn’t actually unhinge. Instead, their lower jaw is in two parts that move independently to help them swallow their prey. In general their mouths and the muscle around it is flexible to help them swallow prey larger than their heads. All snakes have curved teeth, apart from egg eaters which have no teeth at all. Their teeth are curved back, and as a result they will always swallow things whole, they cannot chew. If a nonvenomous snake bites you, the most harm you’ll get is a few pinpricks unless it’s a rather big snake. The reason they have these curved teeth is to latch onto prey! Only venomous snakes have those front fangs, by the way! There’s also three different types of those fangs! - Rearfanged teeth and venomous fangs near the rear of the mouth, common in False Water Cobras and Hognoses - Front fanged venomous fangs are near the front, and what most people recognize.  - Rotating fanged venomous snakes have front fangs, that are hinged and retractable. They are most common in vipers, but can also be present in rattlesnakes, adders, and gaboon vipers.
NOW for the cold blooded nonsense. This is what bothers me the most, and I don’t blame any of you for getting this confused since I didn’t know this before either. Being cold blooded does NOT mean they are cold and will constantly seek out heat. Being cold blooded simply means that they don’t have a constant body temperature like we do, meaning they have to go to warmer or colder areas to level their body temperature. If a snake is in hot temperature for too long, it’ll overheat like any other animal. They’re more well known to like hotter temperatures, but they will seek out cooler areas to not overheat if they feel they’re getting too hot. If a snake is sick, though, it may stay in the heat and burn itself because of this. It’s true that snakes will get sluggish if it’s too cold, but depending on the temperature and the kind of snake it is, they usually won’t die. Snakes go through brumation, and during brumation you’d think they’d starve or dehydrate, but you’d be wrong. Snakes in general don’t move much, and are very opportunistic feeders, meaning if food’s there, they’ll eat it. But in brumation, they don’t have to eat because they aren’t moving much and that conserves their energy. They will move for water if they absolutely need it, but they can survive in cold temperatures despite what you may think. Unless it’s below a temperature they can survive at, then it’s an issue.
On the topic of feeding, usually a domesticated snake only needs to eat once a week or every other week. Again, they don’t move much unless they’re inquisitive, and again opportunistic feeders. With ball pythons though, because of their heat pits, will refuse colder food items. They need something warm to sense that it’s probably body heat depending on the food item.
I think that covers everything! At least everything I see in fanfiction and such :)! If you have any questions i’d be more than happy to answer for you! It was fun to write this and I hope you liked this! Herpetology is confusing, and fanfiction is fanfiction, so I don’t expect 100% accuracy, I just think this is fun and that some writers will benefit from this!

Ophelia Sarkissian was orphaned as a child in Hungary. Part of her face was scarred at one time, although it has since been healed. Among 12 other girls, Ophelia was taken in by HYDRA and raised by Kraken. For 22 years, Ophelia excelled and became Kraken's best student.[4] She eventually rose through the ranks of HYDRA and frequently came into conflict with Captain America and the organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. She first appeared as a leader of HYDRA under the codename Madame Hydra, and first fought and captured Captain America while trying to contaminate New York City's water supply.[5][6] She captured Rick Jones to bait a trap for Captain America,[7] and then subdued the Avengers with gas, planning to bury them alive, and battled Captain America again. However, she was apparently killed when Captain America and Rick Jones dodged missiles she fired at them and she was caught in their explosion.[8] Some time later, it was revealed that the Space Phantom had exchanged places with her and her whereabouts at the time were undisclosed.[9]
She eventually severed her ties with HYDRA.[10] Madame Hydra helped Jordan Stryke, a supervillain codenamed Viper, escape custody in Virginia, only to proceed in assassinating him and usurping his alias and leadership of the group known as the Serpent Squad.[11] As the new Viper, she kidnapped Roxxon president Hugh Jones, in order to put him in thrall of the Serpent Crown. She battled Nomad and Namor the Sub-Mariner.[12] Viper was the founder and leader of the elite criminal underworld through sheer ruthlessness, treachery, and the cunning of her black heart.
Viper took over the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, and planned to crash it into the Congress building. She employed Boomerang and the Silver Samurai as operatives, and battled Spider-Man, Black Widow, Shang-Chi, and Nick Fury.[13] Viper later employed the Silver Samurai as her chief operative, and attempted to kidnap Michael Kramer, a man carrying a fatal experimental disease, in order to release it on America. The Viper battled the first Spider-Woman, and became convinced that she was Merriam Drew. Drew was the mother of Spider-Woman and was considered deceased since 1931. The issue revealed Merriam had become allied to Chthon and was granted longevity in return. The Viper revealed herself to have been a pawn of Chthon for 50 years, but saved Spider-Woman's life by defying Chthon.[14] Viper, employing Constrictor as her chief operative, captured Spider-Woman, believing she was responsible for making her think they were related. It was revealed that Chthon had actually granted Viper false memories of mothering Jessica as part of a plan to place both women under his control. Viper captured Captain America, and planned to release her new bubonic plague.[15] Whether Viper actually has extraordinary longevity was left uncertain.
Re-employing the Silver Samurai, Viper attempted to coerce Team America into stealing the Cavourite Crystal, and then battled the New Mutants.[16] In one of her many terrorist acts, she would try to gain control of the snake-themed organization called the Serpent Society, with Slither, Copperhead, Puff Adder, Fer-De-Lance, and Black Racer as her operatives. The latter four operatives infiltrated the Serpent Society in an attempt to take it over. Viper dispatched Cobra, Boomslang, and Copperhead to poison Washington D.C.'s water supply with a snake mutagen. Viper terrorized the White House and the President, and battled Captain America.[17] She attempted to assassinate the organization's former leader Sidewinder, but she was betrayed by Cobra and arrested by Captain America.[volume & issue needed] Viper was later freed from prison by Tyrannus. She used a snake mutagen on drug addicts, and then battled the Punisher.[18] She then turned against and battled Tyrannus.[19]
Madame Hydra has also been in conflict with the X-Men. She first came into contact with them upon trying to assassinate Mariko Yashida on behalf of her ally and presumed lover Silver Samurai, and tried to poison the team while disguised as Mariko's unconscious maid.[20] She nearly killed X-Men members Rogue and Storm on two separate occasions, with Storm being nearly killed by Viper during the invasion of Khan.[21] She also faced the New Mutants and was considered responsible for the presumed demise of Karma (Karma was only wounded and was abducted by the Shadow King for his own reasons).[22]
Madame Hydra is a professional terrorist and has her own organization. She has come into conflict with many superheroes and supervillains over the years. Her nihilism and tendency to spread death around her has made it hard for other villains to associate with her. Only the Red Skull has found it a charming tendency and pursued a relationship with her for a while. The relationship ended when the Skull found out Viper was using his resources to finance massacres with no apparent financial benefit for either of them.[23]
For a time, the Viper employed a team of doppelgängers (known as "Pit-Vipers") to impersonate her. However, acting on her own, Pit-Viper 12[24] became involved with the Punisher during an international crime conference in Las Vegas[25] and later tipped off S.H.I.E.L.D. to the real Viper's attempt to steal Russian nuclear missiles in Moscow.[26] For compromising her anonymity, the Viper personally killed her treacherous double.[27]
Later she blackmailed Wolverine into marrying her as a means to secure her criminal empire in Madripoor. Although this was a marriage of convenience, she did request to consummate the arrangement. Some time later, her body was briefly inhabited by the spirit of Ogun, and Wolverine mortally wounded her as a means of driving the spirit from her dying body. In return for seeking medical attention to save her life, Wolverine demanded a divorce.[28] It is later implied that she actually had feelings for Wolverine.[29]
Viper was then a member of an incarnation of the Hellfire Club, working with Courtney Ross, briefly under the title "White Warrior Princess".[30] She has also associated with the Hand and resumed her ties with the Silver Samurai. She has also retaken the name "Madame Hydra".[volume & issue needed]
For a time, Viper was the dictator of the nation of Madripoor, using the nation's resources to support global terrorism via HYDRA.[volume & issue needed] She was overthrown by new S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Tony Stark and Tyger Tiger, the latter of whom is now ruler of Madripoor.[31]
In Secret Warriors #2 during the Dark Reign storyline, Viper is seen leaving her lover, the Silver Samurai, to rejoin Baron von Strucker and the ruling council of HYDRA.[32] It was revealed in Secret Warriors #3 that she is no longer Madame Hydra, as she was replaced by Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, taking up the mantle of Madame Hydra, wearing an elaborate tentacle headdress and elaborate HYDRA robes.[33]
In Secret Warriors #12, Viper is kidnapped by the mysterious group Leviathan, who are determined to find out the location of a mysterious box that both she and Madame Hydra procured from the Yashidas. Madame Hydra arrived at the Leviathan headquarters and offered the box to its leader, much to Viper's dismay. Madame Hydra then shot Viper to death. However, when HYDRA arrived, the Hive resurrected her, giving her tentacles that stemmed from her head, and she renamed herself Madame Hydra.[34]
Following the Fear Itself storyline, Madame Hydra joins up with H.A.M.M.E.R. after Norman Osborn escapes from the Raft and regains leadership.[35] After the defeat of Osborn and the Dark Avengers, Madame Hydra uses the resources of the now-defunct H.A.M.M.E.R. to begin rebuilding HYDRA.[36] She later tips off Spider-Woman and Hawkeye about a heist Mister Negative is planning on a S.H.I.E.L.D. warehouse. While the Avengers deal with Mister Negative, Madame Hydra attacks a different S.H.I.E.L.D. facility and steals several captive Skrulls left over from the Secret Invasion.[37]
Madame Hydra later led an attack on Avengers Tower while the team is away. She and the rest of her forces are defeated by Angel and his younger self from earlier in the timestream.[38]
In "Death of Wolverine", she was revealed by Nuke as the "Green Queen" and current leader of Madripoor who sent out a contract to capture Wolverine.[39]
Viper is part of the HYDRA High Council that the new Madame Hydra is collecting to assist Steve Rogers, who had his history altered by Red Skull's clone using Kobik's powers to be a HYDRA sleeper agent for years.[40]
During the "Secret Empire" storyline, Viper attends the meeting of the HYDRA High Council and talks about the opening of two new detention facilities to double the amount of Inhumans held in indefinite custody.[41] While doing business with some men, Viper is told by a HYDRA agent that they have apprehended Black Widow. This is part of a diversion so that the Champions can infiltrate a HYDRA base. When Viper figures out that Widow is planning to kill Hydra Supreme, Viper tries to persuade Widow to join up with her enterprise.[42]
During the "Hunt for Wolverine" storyline, Viper is seen in Madripoor where she leads the Femme Fatales (consisting of Knockout, Bloodlust, Mindblast, Snake Whip, and Sapphire Styx) into ambushing Kitty Pryde, Domino, Jubilee, Psylocke, and Storm at the King's Impresario Restaurant. While Psylocke, Rogue, and Storm are defeated and taken prisoner by Madame Hydra and the Femme Fatales, Kitty Pryde escapes with Domino and Jubilee.[43] Viper congratulates the Femme Fatales for their work as they now have Psylocke, Rogue, and Storm as their prisoners. Mindblast suggests that they put a bounty on the ones that escaped, stating that every gang member in Lowtown will be looking for them. Viper states that she will discuss with her client on where to proceed next and to deposit Rogue and Storm to the client as "special guests." As Viper gives the status report to a representative of her client, she mentions that Sapphire Styx is still draining off of Psylocke just like she did with Magneto. The representative tells Viper that Sapphire Styx tends to prefer the life force of the mutants and tells Viper to focus on delivering the package as all that they are serves the will of Soteira. As Snake Whip asks if they are going to ignore Sapphire Styx's vampiric appetite, Viper says that they have to obey the representative's orders and "let the @#$%& feed."[44] Viper is contacted by a representative of Soteira who was displeased that the launch was delayed by a torrential rainstorm and suggest that they launch before sunrise. While reluctantly taking the representative's suggestion, Viper and Snake Whip check up on Sapphire Styx who knocks down Snake Whip and claims that Wolverine's Patch alias is present even though Sapphire is the only one who can see him. Viper calls Knockout and Mindblast away from the prisoners to help deal with Sapphire. After hearing that the launch site for the rocket bound for Soteira is under attack, Viper gives the orders to launch it now.[45] After Sapphire Styx explodes, Viper maintains the higher ground while Snake Whip joins the fight. When the Femme Fatales are defeated, Viper flees as Magneto plans to pursue her in order to purge Madripoor of Viper's criminal empire.[46]
In the pages of the Ravencroft miniseries, Viper is seen as a member of J.A.N.U.S.

About the last days. Part I
Tumblr media
“There will come a time when corruption and lewdness among the youth will reach the utmost point. There will hardly be any virgin youth left. They will see their lack of punishment and will think that everything is allowable for them to satisfy their desires. God will call them, however, and they will realize that it will not be possible for them to continue such a life. Then in various ways they will be led to God… That time will be beautiful. That today they are sinning greatly, will lead them to a deeper repentance. Just like the candle before it goes out, it shines strongly and throws sparks; with its light, it enlightens the surrounding darkness; thus, it will be the Church’s life in the last age. And that time is near.”
+ St. Seraphim of Viritsa, Life-Miracles-Prophecies of Saint Seraphim of Viritsa: The New Saint of Orthodox Russian Church 1866-1949
Tumblr media
St John the Wonderworker about Antichrist:"But what is known about the person of the Antichrist? His exact origin is unknown. His father is completely unknown and his mother a vile, false virgin. He will be a Jew from the tribe of Dan. The indication of this is that Jacob, when dying, prophesied about the future heirs of his children, and concerning Dan, he said that among his heirs “shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path that biteth the horses’ heels so that his rider shall fall backwards.” This symbolizes that the Antichrist shall act through cleverness and evil. In Revelation, St. John the Theologian speaks of the salvation of the sons of Israel, saying that before the end of the world many Jews will be converted to Christ, but in the list of tribes that are saved, there is no mention of the tribe of Dan. The Antichrist will be very clever and gifted, with a certain ability to deal with people. He will be charming and gentle. The appearance of the Antichrist is already being prepared before his coming: “The mystery doth already work …”First of all, the forces preparing for his coming fight against lawful monarchical rule. The holy Apostle Paul says that the Antichrist cannot appear until “the one who restraineth” is put aside. John Chrysostom explains that the “one who restraineth” refers to a lawful, pious regime. Such a power struggles with evil. “The mystery” working in the world does not want this, does not want the struggle against evil by the power of a pious ruler – quite the opposite. It wants the rule of lawlessness, and when it achieves this, nothing more will stop the appearance of the Antichrist. He will not only be clever and charming, he will be merciful and do works of charity for the sake of bolstering his control. And when he strengthens his control to the point where the entire world recognizes him, then he will reveal his face. He will choose Jerusalem because it was precisely there that the Saviour revealed His Divine teaching and His Person, and the whole world was called to the blessedness of virtue and salvation. But the world did not accept Christ and crucified Him in Jerusalem, and during the Antichrist’s reign Jerusalem will become the capital of the world that has accepted his rule.Reaching the summit of power, the Antichrist will demand people acknowledge that he has achieved what no earthly power and no one else has been able to do, and will demand worship of himself as an exalted being – a god. He will do only what pleases people, under the condition that they recognize him as the Supreme Power. He will provide opportunities for Church life, allow her to hold services, and promise that wonderful temples will be built, provided that he be recognized as “Supreme Being” and worshipped. He will have a personal hatred for Christ. He will thrive on this hatred and will rejoice in people’s apostasy from Christ and the Church. There will be a mass falling away from the faith, during which many bishops will betray the faith, and point to the wonderful position of the Church as justification. A search for compromise will be the characteristic state of the people’s faith. Directness of confession will vanish. People will subtly justify their fall, and solicitous evil will support such a general state of mind. People will grow used to apostatizing from the truth and will be accustomed to the sweetness of compromise and sin. The Antichrist will allow people anything as long as they, falling down before him, worship him. This will not be a new attitude toward people: the Roman Caesars were also prepared to grant Christians freedom if they would recognize the emperor’s divinity and supreme divine power. They martyred Christians only because they confessed: “One God do we worship, and Him alone do we serve.” The whole world will be conquered by him, and he will then reveal his hatred for Christ and Christianity."

We have a warning about the notorious Wolfgang Wuster and his anti-science actions to undo the legacy of wildlife conservation icon, Richard Funk, who died in August 2022. Dear all, most of us heave heard the sad news of wildlife conservation icon, Dr. Richard Funk's death this week, arising from terminal cancer complications. Most readers already know, Dr. Funk, who has more letters after his name than there are letters in the alphabet (with more degrees, higher degrees and the like than anyone else I ever met), was one of the world's foremost herpetologists and reptile veterinary surgeons. His legacy of scientific discovery is too much to list here, but on top of this is the fact that he was one of the best human beings out there. His friendliness and enthusiasm for wildlife was infectious and has spurred countless others to join the conservation and research cause. While he was alive, he was honoured with 8 genera and 7 species named in his honour, including some really iconic taxa. They are all ICZN recognized and as recently as 2011 the ICZN ruled against an application by the Wolfgang Wuster gang of thieves to suppress these taxa and they instead decided to confirm the validity of all these names. One of the genera named in honour of Richard Funk was the iconic African lizard genus Funkisaurus, Hoser, 2013. Recently the anti-scientist group known as the Wolfgang Wuster gang of thieves have attempted to destroy Funk's legacy and the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, all at the same time, by illegally coining a junior synonym name Broadleysaurus for the same genus. They have propagated this through outlets they control, including Peter Uetz's dodgy "The reptile database", Wikipedia and so on. The notorious Don Broadley, is best known for his regular procurement of little black boys under the age of ten from rural Zimbabwe to satisfy his perverted sexual fetishes, who also happened to masquerade as a herpetologist while not engaged in his other illegal activity. It is absolutely despicable that before Dr. Funk is even buried and remembered, that Mark O'Shea, Hinrich Kaiser and others in the Wuster gang are actively calling for Funkisaurus to be "suppressed" in favour of the illegally coined Broadleysaurus, named in honour of a notorious child sex predator, which is not only an illegally coined junior synonym name, but also breaches the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (several sections). As I mentioned already, on 30 April 2021, the ICZN ruled that Funkisaurus is the correct nomen and that Broadleysaurus is illegal, so please make sure no one tries to give the Wuster gang or their anti-science manifesto "Kaiser et al." any credibility, via use of the illegal name, as simply it deserves none! The ICZN has ruled this as well! The image is of hard copies of Australasian Journal of Herpetology, issue 12, published in 2012 which features Dr. Funk on the cover, holding some venomoid Australian Death Adders, which he had certified as 100% safe, refuting false claims by the notorious Mark O'Shea and Wolfgang Wuster that the snakes had somehow defied the laws of nature and regenerated their venom glands after removal. Below I list all the official ICZN recognized taxa named in honour of Dr. Richard Funk, as listed on Zoobank at: https://zoobank.org/Search?search_term=Funk Family Group       Funkiacrochordidini Hoser, 2014       Funkisaurusiini Hoser, 2013       Funkiskinkiina Hoser, 2015 Genus Group       Funkelapidus Hoser, 2012       Funkiacrochordus Hoser, 2014       Funkichelys Hoser, 2021       Funkikukri Hoser, 2012       Funkisaurus Hoser, 2013       Funkiskinkus (Forestaescincea) Hoser, 2015       Funkiskinkus (Marmolejoscincus) Hoser, 2015       Funkiskinkus (Veracruzscincus) Hoser, 2015       Funkiskinkus Hoser, 2015       Funkityphlops Hoser, 2012       Funkus Hoser, 2012 Species Group       Australiasis funki Hoser, 2012 (python snake)       Funkichelys funki Hoser, 2021 (turtle)       Funkiskinkus dixoni Hoser, 2015 (lizard)       Funkiskinkus funki Hoser, 2015 (lizard)       Macrocerastes funki Hoser, 2013 (African viper)       Odatria funki Hoser, 2014 (monitor lizard)       Paracrinia funki Hoser, 2020 (frog)       Sayersus funki Hoser, 2016 (rattlesnake/ pitviper) Thank You Raymond Hoser Australia 28 Aug 2022

October 24: Jeremiah 8–9; 2 Peter 1:1–11; Psalm 106:1–23; Proverbs 26:18–19
New Post has been published on https://loveofyhwh.com/october-24-jeremiah-8-9-2-peter-11-11-psalm-1061-23-proverbs-2618-19/
October 24: Jeremiah 8–9; 2 Peter 1:1–11; Psalm 106:1–23; Proverbs 26:18–19
Old Testament:
Jeremiah 8–9
Jeremiah 8–9 (Listen)
8 “At that time, declares the LORD, the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of its officials, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be brought out of their tombs. 2 And they shall be spread before the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven, which they have loved and served, which they have gone after, and which they have sought and worshiped. And they shall not be gathered or buried. They shall be as dung on the surface of the ground. 3 Death shall be preferred to life by all the remnant that remains of this evil family in all the places where I have driven them, declares the LORD of hosts.
Sin and Treachery
4   “You shall say to them, Thus says the LORD:   When men fall, do they not rise again?     If one turns away, does he not return? 5   Why then has this people turned away     in perpetual backsliding?   They hold fast to deceit;     they refuse to return. 6   I have paid attention and listened,     but they have not spoken rightly;   no man relents of his evil,     saying, ‘What have I done?’   Everyone turns to his own course,     like a horse plunging headlong into battle. 7   Even the stork in the heavens     knows her times,   and the turtledove, swallow, and craneThe meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain‘>1     keep the time of their coming,   but my people know not     the rulesOr just decrees‘>2 of the LORD. 8   “How can you say, ‘We are wise,     and the law of the LORD is with us’?   But behold, the lying pen of the scribes     has made it into a lie. 9   The wise men shall be put to shame;     they shall be dismayed and taken;   behold, they have rejected the word of the LORD,     so what wisdom is in them? 10   Therefore I will give their wives to others     and their fields to conquerors,   because from the least to the greatest     everyone is greedy for unjust gain;   from prophet to priest,     everyone deals falsely. 11   They have healed the wound of my people lightly,     saying, ‘Peace, peace,’     when there is no peace. 12   Were they ashamed when they committed abomination?     No, they were not at all ashamed;     they did not know how to blush.   Therefore they shall fall among the fallen;     when I punish them, they shall be overthrown,       says the LORD. 13   When I would gather them, declares the LORD,     there are no grapes on the vine,     nor figs on the fig tree;   even the leaves are withered,     and what I gave them has passed away from them.”The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain‘>3 14   Why do we sit still?   Gather together; let us go into the fortified cities     and perish there,   for the LORD our God has doomed us to perish     and has given us poisoned water to drink,     because we have sinned against the LORD. 15   We looked for peace, but no good came;     for a time of healing, but behold, terror. 16   “The snorting of their horses is heard from Dan;     at the sound of the neighing of their stallions     the whole land quakes.   They come and devour the land and all that fills it,     the city and those who dwell in it. 17   For behold, I am sending among you serpents,     adders that cannot be charmed,     and they shall bite you,”       declares the LORD.
Jeremiah Grieves for His People
18   My joy is gone; grief is upon me;Compare Septuagint; the meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain‘>4     my heart is sick within me. 19   Behold, the cry of the daughter of my people     from the length and breadth of the land:   “Is the LORD not in Zion?     Is her King not in her?”   “Why have they provoked me to anger with their carved images     and with their foreign idols?” 20   “The harvest is past, the summer is ended,     and we are not saved.” 21   For the wound of the daughter of my people is my heart wounded;     I mourn, and dismay has taken hold on me. 22   Is there no balm in Gilead?     Is there no physician there?   Why then has the health of the daughter of my people     not been restored? 9   Ch 8:23 in Hebrew‘>5 Oh that my head were waters,     and my eyes a fountain of tears,   that I might weep day and night     for the slain of the daughter of my people! 2   Ch 9:1 in Hebrew‘>6 Oh that I had in the desert     a travelers’ lodging place,   that I might leave my people     and go away from them!   For they are all adulterers,     a company of treacherous men. 3   They bend their tongue like a bow;     falsehood and not truth has grown strongSeptuagint; Hebrew and not for truth they have grown strong‘>7 in the land;   for they proceed from evil to evil,     and they do not know me, declares the LORD. 4   Let everyone beware of his neighbor,     and put no trust in any brother,   for every brother is a deceiver,     and every neighbor goes about as a slanderer. 5   Everyone deceives his neighbor,     and no one speaks the truth;   they have taught their tongue to speak lies;     they weary themselves committing iniquity. 6   Heaping oppression upon oppression, and deceit upon deceit,     they refuse to know me, declares the LORD. 7   Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts:   “Behold, I will refine them and test them,     for what else can I do, because of my people? 8   Their tongue is a deadly arrow;     it speaks deceitfully;   with his mouth each speaks peace to his neighbor,     but in his heart he plans an ambush for him. 9   Shall I not punish them for these things? declares the LORD,     and shall I not avenge myself     on a nation such as this? 10   “I will take up weeping and wailing for the mountains,     and a lamentation for the pastures of the wilderness,   because they are laid waste so that no one passes through,     and the lowing of cattle is not heard;   both the birds of the air and the beasts     have fled and are gone. 11   I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins,     a lair of jackals,   and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation,     without inhabitant.”
12 Who is the man so wise that he can understand this? To whom has the mouth of the LORD spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land ruined and laid waste like a wilderness, so that no one passes through? 13 And the LORD says: “Because they have forsaken my law that I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice or walked in accord with it, 14 but have stubbornly followed their own hearts and have gone after the Baals, as their fathers taught them. 15 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will feed this people with bitter food, and give them poisonous water to drink. 16 I will scatter them among the nations whom neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.”
17   Thus says the LORD of hosts:   “Consider, and call for the mourning women to come;     send for the skillful women to come; 18   let them make haste and raise a wailing over us,     that our eyes may run down with tears     and our eyelids flow with water. 19   For a sound of wailing is heard from Zion:     ‘How we are ruined!     We are utterly shamed,   because we have left the land,     because they have cast down our dwellings.’” 20   Hear, O women, the word of the LORD,     and let your ear receive the word of his mouth;   teach to your daughters a lament,     and each to her neighbor a dirge. 21   For death has come up into our windows;     it has entered our palaces,   cutting off the children from the streets     and the young men from the squares. 22   Speak: “Thus declares the LORD,   ‘The dead bodies of men shall fall     like dung upon the open field,   like sheaves after the reaper,     and none shall gather them.’”
23 Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, 24 but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the LORD.”
25 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will punish all those who are circumcised merely in the flesh—26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, the sons of Ammon, Moab, and all who dwell in the desert who cut the corners of their hair, for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.”

A breath of relief - Kenna and Raydan fanfic
Summery: Only half a year has had passed since the ending of the war. The five kingdoms are still learning how to cope with each other, and they’re quite successful. The problems come, from within. Some advisers of Kenna aren’t very happy with her choice of marriage, some other groups can’t accept that the Nevrakis have risen to power again…And when both issues collide, Kenna is wary this isn’t the best timing for her to reveal a new, exciting discovery. Raydan solves both problems and proves what Kenna had already known - he can handle it, and she has nothing to worry about. Author’s note: Anon requested this fanfic a while ago, sorry for making you wait for so long! I found it harder to find how will Raydan prove himself to the noble families that didn’t trust him, but eventually it just came to me. I hope you’ll enjoy it!
“This is a brilliant idea!” one of Kenna’s advisers exclaimed, he was mesmerized by a new political suggestion Kenna just mentioned. “Why, thank you. It was actually my husband who suggested that.” Kenna wore a proud smile, who quickly faded away when the adviser in front of her scoffed uncomfortably at the collar of his shirt. “Ah, I see. King Raydan really out-did himself this time.” he told her. “Not really. He always has great suggestions, It’s just happens to be me who passes it on.” Kenna said, wearing a serious expression, and standing up. She saw her husband in the doorway. “This meeting is over.” She told the young noble-man, who she now was angry to call her adviser to. He quickly stood up, bowed to her, and disappeared. “Love, It’s fine. You don’t have to do that each time.” Raydan assured her, getting closer. Kenna sighed heavily. They were married for half a year now, and while most of the kingdom was glad to have her and Raydan as their rulers, it was particularly the noble families and her so-called advisers who had a problem with her choice of partner in marriage. “But it WAS your idea.” She said, pouting.  “Let them think whatever they want to think. It’s the least of our problems.” He caressed her face and kissed her forehead. She couldn’t suppress a smile. “I know…” She sighed again, this time more calmly. They still had so much to do, and everything felt new to them. While Kenna was preparing for this her whole life, being queen was something you can’t really prepare to until you’re already there. And Raydan wasn’t prepared to life at court in his life, but it seemed to come easily to him. It was a shame people didn’t see it that way. It was a shame they were blinded by his past and judged him for the ‘street-rat’ he used to be. Kenna was furious with them, but Raydan always assured her it’ll be fine. They’ll come around, he said, and she always nodded and listened. 
But now, Kenna had missed her cycle. And with the rate she and Raydan were… getting intimate, it could mean she was with child. It could also mean nothing. Maybe it was all the pressure and stress they were under, but Kenna had a feeling it wasn’t that. And she was glad, oh, she was ecstatic. But also… wary. If the noble families and people didn’t accept Raydan as their king, how could she step down for a while while she’s pregnant? She knew Raydan was up to the job, but the people needed to believe that too. She knew Raydan won over many of their subjects already, being involved with getting a lot of families back to their feet and rebuilding the kingdom to its former glory, but it seemed no matter what he did, the noble families batted their eyes at him. She didn’t tell Raydan, yet. She wanted to be sure, before delivering such news. Speaking of news, He probably should’ve had news for her. “So?” She finally asked, he knew immediately what she was talking about. “We need to call a strategic meeting, asp. We should inform king Diavolos as well, and Adder.” his expression was uneasy, and Kenna knew this was serious matter. She nodded and called a near-by messenger.  “How was your mission, besides that?” She asked, placing a hand over his chest. While he was wearing his royal robes right now, Kenna could see in her mind his scarred flesh, and traced his skin where they should be, under his clothes. “Not even a scratch.” He announced her with a smile. “My hero.” Kenna played along, but really, she was glad. She hated when he got out for missions, but it was inevitable. With the intel they got, and what could be on the line, they needed their best on the field. And while Raydan resigned from being her spymaster, or a member of the black asps, he was still the best out there. Their worries came true, with what Raydan has discovered. They started the strategic meeting first thing in the morning. Word was sent out to Abanthus, to warn Diavolos, Zenobia, and inform Adder of their current situation. There was an uprising group of former warriors that was gathering in Stormholt’s further lands, who despised the Nevrakis and wanted to end their rule, once and for all. There were trained assassins among them, and they went un-noticed by both Stormholt’s army and the Black Asps. They first got word of them from Dom, who traveled a lot as a part of his new job as ambassador of the the Fire Tribe, and noticed a small group acting strange and whispering of treason. Raydan followed the faint lead, and found out their true motives. “This is Abanthus problem, not ours.” Cornelius, one of the advisers, said. He wasn’t the oldest of them, but he was one of the most heard. Somehow, everyone seemed to listen to him, and he had quite the opinions. A few other nobleman agreed with him, siding their opinions with him. “Enough!” Raydan had stood up, banging his fists against the table. Everyone watched him with a shocked expression, even Kenna. “This is exactly the kind of thinking that’ll lead us into war, once again. They are talking of killing the rules of a Kingdom, for god sake’s, need I really remind you what happened last time someone plotted to murder a queen or a king?” his voice was stern, and finally they listened. Kenna was glad someone finally shut Cornelius up. And while Raydan said his 'enough' for them to stop suggesting stupid ideas like letting Abanthus handle this on their own, for Kenna it felt like it would finally make those nobleman see him for who he really is. For the man worth to be their king, even though they refused to admit that. “Because I think king Amanth or queen Adriana will have to disagree with you. Or maybe you should ask Ewan and Daphne Thorn.” Raydan knows this is a delicate subject, but he goes there anyway. It had come to this, only because they refuse to listen to him, when he speaks to them any other way. He needed to shake them out of their comfort zone. Desperate times called for desperate measures. They think years of observing from the shadows made him weaker, invisible, transparent. but it’s the opposite, really. He got a great diplomatic instinct, and had a hunch for strategic actions because he was a spy, a ‘street-rat’ as the like reminding, when no one can ‘see’ them. Kenna listens carefully as he speaks. in fact, they all do. “This will affect all of us,” Raydan says, collectedly now, motioning with his hands around him.  “You really think they’d stop there? Let’s say they succeed in their mission, this will bring chaos to Abanthus and to the peace we have forged. They will not stop there, people like that seek power, and chaos. They’ll start another war. And who put Nevrakis back to power? that’s right. They’ll come for Kenna, next. And this is something I will never allow. I don’t know if it’s your ignorance, or maybe you agree with them over the Nevrakis family’s rule, but this is not the right way, and I won’t have it.” Raydan is done with his speech, and everyone is taken aback. Slowly, many nobleman start nodding, agreeing with him. Soon, Cornelius is left all alone, in the lane of the opponents. “Well,” all the other advisers are looking at him. “I guess so.” He nods too. “Then, It’s settled,” Kenna stands up, a huge and proud smile spread across her face. “We shou-” She starts saying, when a sudden wave of nausea hits her, and she clenches to her stomach. “Excuse me.” She lets out before running out of the meeting room, and to the nearest bath chambers. She empties anything she’d eaten that they into a bucket, and wipes her mouth clean. “Ugh… In the worst timing possible.” She scolds at herself, and then opens the door. Raydan is waiting for her there, a worried look in his eyes. “Kenna,” He rushes to her side. She’s a little dizzy, so she’s thankful for having him there to support her. “Are you okay? Call a healer! immediately!” he orders to a passing servant. “I’m fine…” She dismisses him. “It’s not that.” She holds back a smile. She guesses she was right, and maybe they’re expecting a… baby. Now she can’t hold back her smile, and he watches her puzzled. He then shakes his head. “Even if it’s only a false alarm, I wan’t you to get checked. Take care of yourself, i’ll finish that meeting. would that be okay?” He asks her, and Kenna watches her husband in awe. “Yes. It’d be perfect.” she nods. A healer finds them, and Kenna has to insist Raydan doesn’t have to accompany them, until he gives in and agrees. The healer accompanies Kenna to Madeline, the technocrat that aided Dom. She was visiting right now, teaching a new medical procedure. “queen Kenna, always a pleasure seeing you around!” The old lady called her way. Kenna smiled at her, and Madeline watched as the healer motioned to Kenna. “Oh, I see.” Madeline turned to the group that was listening to her. “Practice on what we went through until now. We’ll resume shortly.” And took Kenna’s hand, leading her into a different, more private room. After checking her up, and asking Kenna a few questions, Madeline confirmed, she was indeed pregnant. “I guess he already knew why you were coming in for, if he left you for my care,” Madeline joked and winked as she collected a few medical herbs. “These would be good for the baby,” She gave her one portion. “And these would help you relax. You should take it easy, and make sure to check in with the healers. But other than that, there’s nothing out of the ordinary with your pregnancy. Vomiting is entirely normal, and cravings are, too. Try not to eat anything that smells weird to you, even if you used to like it before. Your body is telling you everything you’ll need to know.” Madeline explained everything to Kenna, and even answered a few questions of her own. “Are you still feeling any nausea? sickness? any weakness at all?” Madeline asks before opening the door for Kenna. “No. I’m fine. Feeling better already.” Kenna thanked her, and was about to exit the infirmary when Raydan came in. “Oh, thank god. I’m sorry I missed it. Is she okay?” He immediately asked in Madeline and the healer’s direction, while placing a hand over Kenna’s back. “She’s perfectly fine. I’d recommend bringing her tea and rubbing her back. Doctor’s orders.” Madeline winks again, and resumes to her teachings. Raydan sighs in relief, and both exit the clinic. “See? I told you you had nothing to worry about.” Kenna shrugged, as if she didn’t give him any reason to worry. “How did the rest of the meeting go?” She changed the subject, and Raydan watched her in suspicion. They sat in their garden, a servant brought them their tea.  “It went as expected. There was a little tension in the air, but ultimately, they all agreed. We sent another word for Abanthus, and got reply. I had a slight disagreement with Adder, who urged us that The Black Asps couldn’t have missed such a thing, but I convinced her there’s no mistake here. We’re preparing our finest soldiers and theirs at this moment, and they’ll move tomorrow. Our main goal is to capture them, bring them to trial and possibly lock them behind bars. No casualties needed.” He updated her. There were more things discussed, both in the meeting and with Abanthus, but Raydan summed up for her the important parts. “Not that any of that concerns you.” Raydan finished with that. “Excuse me? What do you mean?” She asked, playing ‘offended’. “You were prescripted relaxation and massaging. So I’m just following my orders.” he shrugged, and got behind her, starting to rub her back. His hands worked magic on her back, and Kenna muffled a moan. “Now, do you want to tell me what’s this about?” He whispered in her ear, Kenna almost broke apart in his arms. “Right.” She reminded herself, taking her cup and sipping her tea. Raydan continued to release knots in her back. “Well, I didn’t want to tell you until I was sure…” She bite at her lip. Raydan stopped for a second, and she turned to face him. “I’m… with child. We’re expecting a child.” She finally said, out loud. It felt amazing, to be able to say it, to know she was going to have child with the love of her life, with Raydan. “Oh my god!” He took her into his arms, got up, and lifted her in the air. He beamed like the sun, and Kenna knew he was as happy as she was. “Are you sure? I’m going to be…” Raydan almost couldn’t believe. “A father, yes!” Kenna finished his sentence for him, and he smiled even wider, not knowing how this was possible. He kissed her deeply, finally putting her back down into the ground, and she pulled at his shirt to make sure he won’t go anywhere. When they went to bed that night, Raydan fell asleep with his head on her shoulder, and a hand over her stomach. While she still didn’t have a baby bump, he already was excited for it. He stroked her hair for a while, before falling asleep, whispering sweet things in her ears. She laid in bed, excited too, almost too excited to fall alseep, if she hadn’t been so worn-out. But, before drifting away, she thought how glad she was. How happy, and proud, and certain of her future. While there were serious matters to attend to, and she still had a say in things (She’ll always have), she could lay back and let Raydan handle it if she needed. She knew being pregnant would have a strain over her queenly duties, but she had her husband to take over for her and it was a blessing. He was Stormholt’s king just as much as she was it’s queen. And finally everyone saw it just like she did. The next months held a new journey for both of them, but she couldn’t be prouder of the man walking that path with her, of her king, of the father of her yet to be born child. And we that, she fell asleep, in the arms on her loved one, Raydan.

Education time! This particular species is a hognose snake. They play dead and they usually emanate a bad smell to ward off would-be predators. They are non venomous and good to keep around to eat household pests like rats and mice. Here in the Midwest, they are also known as “spreadheads” because they can lift their heads from the ground and puff out their head and neck to resemble the deadly cobra (note that in the video, it’s head is shaped like a spade like a venomous snake). In some areas, the hognose is also called a “puff adder.” This is a defense adaptation and usually what the hognose will try first when threatened. It will even throw false strikes like a cobra (but it rarely actually bites).The playing dead is usually the next line of defense if the cobra disguise doesn’t work.
DEFINITELY DEAD. Look at this poor, definitely dead noodle!
