mountain, i am Staring at you with my Malkavian Eyes, please tell me about the Sabbat Malk
Boy howdy do I love my Sabbat Malk. My littlest guy with plot armor. Not allowed to die for reasons that I figured out but the other players didn't put the pieces together for.
So this is Apollo, it is the name he chose for himself after realizing he could see the future and getting a big ego because of it. He's got a ton of Auspex, the Eyes of Chaos discipline power (recently introduced in V5 btw! it's so fun, give it a try) the Oracular Visions merit, and another merit that lets him get dreams about the future. His official derangement/bane is that he suffers from hallucinations, many of which he believes are also visions of the future, but unofficially I like to joke that his insane self-confidence is also a derangement. He's also picked up another one where he mistakes random people for his sire.
He was born back in in the 1940s and was embraced impulsively in the 1960s after accidentally catching his sire on camera. He was a professional photographer and still keeps up the photography even in his unlife.
Going to do similarly as you with Leo by putting the rest under a readmore.
He has a terrible relationship with his sire. Thomas treats him like a cameraman and gave him the nickname "cameraboy". He's expected to always be around to catch Thomas on film. Part of Thomas's derangement of believing that he's in a TV show and everyone else is a paid actor, with the exception of his childe of course. The initial blood bond from his embrace pretty quickly curdled into a deep hatred of his sire.
A few months before the beginning of our Sabbat game, Apollo's visions led him to meet a Lasombra by the name of Garcia Ortiz, whom he is lightly obsessed with getting a photo of and also just wants to bang. Apollo already hates how he is treated for being a Malkavian and hates that people don't take his oracular visions serious. Garcia just has to try a tiny bit to convince him to defect from the Camarilla and join the Sabbat.
He wasn't allowed into his mentor's pack in case of nepotism but he's got a very fun pack regardless. As early as session 1 he was already losing Humanity. They're currently working to get him on a Path of Enlightment so he doesn't become a wight. His biggest complaint with the training is how much he's had to interact with fire. The Sabbat aren't as averse to fire as the average kindred, but Apollo is more averse to fire than the average Camarilla.
His most recent antics in the game is that he was separated from the rest of the pack for a bit for Path Training with his mentor (a very cute Ventrue antitribu), and ended up going on an infiltration mission into a city that had recently been taken over by the Camarilla. It turns out the mostly-empty city is bait to distract the Sabbat's attention from the Camarilla's actual target, and the guy they put in charge of that bait city is Thomas. Apollo is satisfied with letting the guy sit and rot in his false Princehood. Eventually I will diablerize him and also recruit his newest childe because HOW DARE YOU EMBRACE SOMEONE ELSE. HOW DARE YOU BRING SOMEONE ELSE INTO THIS MESS.
For fun here is the rest of his pack in comparison to him <3
#love our little cassandra#he's suuuch a fun little guy#though you can tell this is a V20 game#by the fact that we're allowed to play antitribu#and be in the Sabbat at all#oc stuff#vtmposting#apollo

aftg au where andrew is a burnt out musician who's sick and tired of writing/playing shitty music bc his label says it sells better. he meets one deaf neil josten at some no-name pub on the east coast. he's a little mesmerized by the way neils hair catches in the bar lights and how his eyes track the woman playing bass on stage. andrew offers to buy him a drink and then he offers to blow him. it's a no but at first neil looked at him confused and andrews about to start wondering how someone who looks like that would be confused about an offer like that but then neil asks him to write his question down. he does. (there's something humbling about writing a proposition down). neil says no but they trade notes back and forth until the line of indie artists waiting their turn for the stage dwindled into nothing. the last thing andrew writes is his phone number. they talk, well, they text. neil doesn't know him, not the way magazine covers and top 40 radio hits know him. to neil, andrew minyard is just a guy that plays the drums and occasionally writes lyrics. one day, when he asks why neil loves watching him play his drums so much, why he goes to indie night at the pub when he can't hear the words they sing, neil tells him that he likes the thumping in the ground. it steadies him, calms him down as if his ear was pressed to someone's heart. he likes the way the artists lose themselves to their music in a way so obvious. its with neil peering into andrew's grand piano, his eyes watching the hammers pop, that he remembers why he started making music in the first place and for the first time in months he actually wants to compose something
#band aus... my beloved...my ride or die#irrelevant but neil is an accountant for a local business in this au#they meet while andrew is on sabbatical#less sabbatical and more i-make-you-too-much-money-so-you-cant-fire-me-when-i-tell-you-that-im-taking-three-months-off#aftg#all for the game#the foxhole court#andreil#neil josten#andrew minyard

I wanted you to know that I love your stories, all of them, and I'm really curious about Jason in Freelance Inventor — he didn't die, but is he still a vigilant? If so, who is he? Is he still Red Hood, even if Joker didn't get him? Or is he going to college know that he's not Robin for some time?
Jason Todd reads over his essay one last time, double-checking for any spelling or grammar issues. He's reasonably confident that there are none, but with last night's Riddle fiasco, he had yet to get much-needed sleep before typing it out.
The last time he turned in an assignment with that much lost sleep, he had somehow written lyrics to the music he was listening to while researching.
He leans back in his chair, cracking his knuckles once he verifies everything is in order. After a quick stretch, he reaches for his mouse and clicks open his online class platform.
Three clicks later, this week's work is uploaded into the submission box, waiting for his professor to review it. He lingers on the page long enough for it to flash the confirmation and clicks the tab towards his email, making sure the same notice arrives there before closing everything down.
He's exhausted, more so than usual for a college student, but if he wanted the weekend open to having that fishing trip with Danny, he needed to get his ass in gear.
Jason sighs, reaching for the textbook of his female authors in history class next. His eyes drop as he flips through the chapters to the most current one.
Norally, Jason would adore reading, but trying to force himself after being awake for who knows how many hours just causes the words to blur before his eyes.
A knock at his doorway jolts him from the third re-read passage.
Danny is standing there with a tray that contains a steaming warm mug, a plate of cookies, and another plate of his famous grilled triple-cheese sandwiches.
"Hey, Kid," He says, that same nickname that he had used since Jason first arrived at Wayne Manor still curls with the same equal amount of warmth and care. "Brought you something to eat."
"Thanks Danny" Jason smiles, accepting the food without much fuss. He isn't quick enough to hide his yawn, causing his pseudo- step father to frown.
"How much sleep did you have last night?" He asks in that same disapproving voice since Jason told him about his new job.
"Enough. I just got to finish these assigments then I'll take a nap" He promises.
Danny's eyes narrow further before he sighs. If there is one thing he adores about talking to Danny is that he almost never argues with the kids. He makes his displeasure known, puts in his two cents more often then not, but he is also willing to hear them out.
Even if he disagrees with a job mainly involving graveyard shifts at university. As far as Danny knows, Jason got a job within Wayne Enterprise as one of the emergency hotlines for troubled youths.
They anonymously helped provide kids a safe space to sleep for the night, no questions asked. Jason had help develop the program back durning his break from the vigilanete sceen as a teen.
After Sheila and Ethiopia, he was too injured to go out into the field, forcing him to take a break. While on the break, he realized that Bruce was right. Jason had far too much empathy, crushed by all the darkness he saw on the streets, turning to this side of unnecessary rough when dealing with criminals.
Robin had always been magic to him, but it was losing its shine by harsh reality. The break helped clear his mind and made Jason realize he no longer wanted to be Robin. He wanted to be Jason Todd, kept around not because of how useful he was but because of how beloved he was.
To this day, he is forever grateful that he had built a strong enough bond to call Danny, just in case Bruce disowns him as he feared back then. Danny had been shockingly close by, forcing Jason to promise not to get too close to Sheila without him- as he had brought up the critical detail that Sheila had given up custody rights with a side note of possible danger to baby Jason in her file- and Jason had listened.
Danny was a mere six hours away, but by the third hour, he couldn't wait any longer. He had gone to meet Sheila, choosing to not reveal his Robin persona just because Danny wasn't in the know yet.
He only told her when he followed her to the warehouse to try to convince her that he could save her from the Joker. She had maybe three seconds to process his claim before the Joker busted in, eager to torment a child, vigilante or not.
Joker didn't know he was attacking Robin. He just liked bringing misery.
She stood back and did nothing while Joker bounded him and beat the tar out of him with a crowbar.
Jason was honestly thinking he was going to die until the Fenton Ghost Assault Vehicle rammed through the metal doors, ripping them like paper, and slammed not only Sheila but the Joker. Crashing them under the wheels of his large RV with gusto. It was surprising that neither passed away from the collision.
Danny had fung himself from the passenger seat like a warth, dragging the wounded Jason to safety. The bomb Joker planned to set off was never started, left to be discovered by a team of investigators who would remove the clown's political immunity once his crimes in the county were found, as the clown and his little assistant were left unconscious on the ground.
He would later be joined at one of the only Ethiopian hospitals by a hysterical Batman who didn't have an excuse for why he knew and was worried about Jason Todd.
The whole thing was a reality check that Jason and Bruce needed separately. Danny had ripped each of them a new one once everyone realized Jason would recover. It was during this lecture that Jason had let it slip that he knew Dick was the only real son, as Bruce had offered him adoption once he found the paperwork but not the street rat.
Danny had dragged Bruce by the ear to Jason's new hospital room in Gotham, making sure the man was carrying the adoption forms Bruce had applied for one week after taking in Jason. No one had ever wanted Jason.
But Bruce did even if Danny had to stand guard at the doorway, glaring at them both until they spoke about their emotions. Then, to even further shock Jason, Danny had shown him a new invention. It was a emergency tracker that would show where the older man was at any given time in the world.
It came with a messaging concept (back before phones had the texting option) and a promise that Jason could always reach Danny regardless of the day or time to talk.
Jason had busted into tears, the first time he was brave enough to message I think I want to go to college
The replay came a mere seconds later. I know you can do it, Kid; let's get you to college.
He gave up the mask and the cap, choosing only to remind computer support to his father and brother- then later little Tim, who Danny brought home- and continue his education.
His mother—the one who had cared for him and loved him like her own—his real one—would have been so proud of Jason as he walked across the stage to receive his diploma. Catherine would have been one of the loudest cheering, but the Fentons- who had all showed up after Danny sent out the word- more than made up for it.
The Waynes were loud, but nothing could be the hollering Jack, Dani, and Danny Fenton made when Jason gave his valedictorian speech for his high school graduation. Maddie and Jazz had clapped loudly, too, grinning ear to to ear as Jason waved at them.
He was accepted into Gotham University that fall, hoping to work his way to an English diploma. He kept up with his training dispite only being on communications and information for the Bats but the itch to get back into the feild was growing.
Maybe Robin had not made it out of Ethiopia, but Jason Todd did, and Jason thinks that Crime Alley needed a hero. Someone who could curl the violence there because they grew and knew the violence like the back of his hand.
Maybe the crime alley needed a Pheonix to watch over it.
Just after Phoniex finishes this one last assigment.
"Don't stay up too late. Get some sleep!" Danny demands as Jason munches on his food and opens a new blank Word document. This one is for a poerty elective he choosen and he had the perfect theme for his.
He types out Found Family in the title.
#dcxdpdabbles#dcxdp crossover#freelance inventor#Part 6#Jason is on a sabbatical#But Pheonix may rise soon to save Crime Alley#The Fentons all know the Wayne kids and treat them like Danny's children#Jack Fenton is a proud grandpa#Fentons are LOUD#Jason's Pov#spirit halloween ship

The ceo of this hellsite having the AUDACITY to complain about harassment and online pile-ons like that’s not the core issue here, and the daily experience of thousands of trans women on this hellsite. And then to post about his “beliefs and principles” to “prove” he’s not transphobic, rather than taking accountability or meaningful action to address the harm he has directly caused. And in that beliefs and principles bullshit he never uses the words TRANS or TRANSGENDER. He only uses LGBTQ+ or gender identity. Like sir, you say you’re not transphobic, but your language, actions, and leadership of this hellsite sure say otherwise. This is not just a “LGBTQ issue,” it’s an issue of transphobia and transmisogyny. At least use the right language you piece of wet cheese. The whole thing is shameless and disgusting.
#trans rights#tumblr is a hellsite#🚗🔨⚒️💥#carhammerexplosionmatt#may all his dreams be of hammers cars and explosions#what a literal fool of a person#lgbtq#and to also be like umm actually I’m on sabbatical too#like you actual piss baby

Related festivals:
• Sukkot- is a Torah-commanded holiday celebrated for seven days, beginning on the 15th day of the month of Tishrei. It is one of the Three Pilgrimage Festivals (Hebrew: שלוש רגלים, shalosh regalim) on which those Israelites who could were commanded to make a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem. In addition to its harvest roots, the holiday also holds spiritual importance with regard to its abandonment of materialism to focus on nationhood, spirituality, and hospitality, this principle underlying the construction of a temporary, almost nomadic, structure of a sukkah.
• Mid-Autumn festival- also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is a traditional festival celebrated in Chinese culture. Similar holidays are celebrated by other cultures in East & Southeast Asia. It is one of the most important holidays in Chinese culture; its popularity is on par with that of Chinese New Year. The history of the Mid-Autumn Festival dates back over 3,000 years. The festival is held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunisolar lunisolar calendar with a full moon at night, corresponding to mid-September to early October of the Gregorian calendar. On this day, the Chinese believe that the Moon is at its brightest and fullest size, coinciding with harvest time in the middle of Autumn.
• Thanksgiving- This is a secular holiday which is similar to the cell of Mabon; A day to give thanks for the food & blessings of the previous year. The American Thanksgiving is the last Thursday of November while the Canadian Thanksgiving is celebrated in October
• Festival of Dionysus- There were several festivals that honored Dionysus, the God of wine. It was a time of fun, games, feasting & drinking wine.
Activities:
•Scatter offerings in a harvested fields, Offer libations to trees
• Decorate your home and/or altar space for fall
• Bake bread
• Perform a ritual to restore balance and harmony to your life
• Cleanse your home of negative energies
• Pick apples
• Have a dinner or feast with your family and/or friends
• Set intentions for the upcoming year
• Purge what is no longer serving you
•Take a walk in the woods
• Enjoy a pumpkin spice latte
• Donate to your local food bank
• Gather dried herbs, plants, seeds & pods
• Learn something new
• Make wine
• Brew an apple cinnamon simmer pot
• Create an outdoor Mabon altar
•Adorn burial sites with leaves, acorns, & pinecones to honor those who have passed over & visit their graves
Many cultures see the second harvest (after the first harvest Lammas) and equinox as a time for giving thanks. This time of year is when farmers know how well their summer crops did, and how well fed their animals have become. This determines whether you and your family would have enough food for the winter. That is why people used to give thanks around this time, thanks for their crops, and animals, and food.
The name Mabon comes from the Welsh God, who was the son of the Earth Mother Goddess. However, there is evidence that the name was adopted in the 1970s, and the holiday was not originally a Celtic celebration.
Some believe Night and day are of equal legth and the God's energy & strength are nearly gone . The Goddess begins to mourn the loss she knows is coming, but knows he will return when he reborn at Yule.

YAAAAY i finished the design exercise for Wilderwest. I dont think i'm actually going to do anything with this OCverse, but I wanted to sketch the whole idea out.
The concept is a magic wild west/americana setting that follows three sets of characters. Furnace and Lignite as they explore the nature of magic ore that pulled them into the world, Sonora and Sierra on a revenge path to kill a magician named Chupacabra, and Alto and Cirrus as they trek around the content to find the vulture mother responsible for weather.
#my art#also dont look at me i know this is almost an identical design concept to alliacea just with a wild west flavor#Sonora and Sierra are the most fun to think about bc theyre just like...pansy academics in their 50s#but this guy curses all their friends so theyre like well. i already got tenure so guess we'll take a sabbatical to go murk this guys ass#also as a footnote sonora and sierra will be the ONE and only singular M/F pairing i will ever write#theyve been married for 25 years

It's funny to think about how all of Shuiyuntian and Cangyan Sea were subjected to this like, thirty minute makeout session between XLH and DFQC. They couldn't look away, because hello Taisui was there? They just had to sit there watching them do this forever. Whole scenes happened while they were still making out. The entire exchange between XLH and DFQC in his sea of emotions happened while they were still making out.
'Xiyun' just got married in front of all of Shuiyuntian, to their god of war, and now she's in one of those world's longest continuous kiss competitions with their most loathed and feared enemy.
It must have completely broken their brains. It's hilarious to think about, in retrospect.
ALSO!! The people of Shuiyuntian not knowing how to react to Dongfang Qingcang's death! The mix of emotions after it happened!! Their enemy is dead, but he also--- saved the world? Should they be happy? Is he to be admired? If he could do something selfless, were some of the things they thought they knew about him wrong? After all, they now knew Yunzhong had lied to them for thirty thousand years about him being dead.
Does Yunzhong spin it that DFQC was messing with Taisui for evil deeds, and then was taken over? Of course Changheng would have figured out the truth immediately, and Yunzhong would know this isn't actually what happened by the presence of glazed fire.
But is there ever a point where the idea that died of his own hubris became a common one? What corrected this? Was it Changheng, or was it Xiao Lanhua, when she was ready to come forward. Maybe even XLH, backed by CH.
And what of the goddess; could she be fully trusted now? She did defeat Taisui, but she was also, you know... see the above. AND she is the very 'moon tribe spy' that so many had seen save DFQC after Lucheng. They might not have connected the dots at the time of the wedding, but they certainly would now (talking normal civilians here; of course those in the water pavilion knew).
Knowing how Cangyan Sea would react is easy, but Shuiyuntian? That's really interesting to think about.
#love between fairy and devil#does this mean the goddess is getting a divorce???#CHANGHENG DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS???#WAS SHE CHEATING ON YOU???#meanwhile the people of cangyan sea-- the ones that had actually seen xlh before--- are like 'wait is that the moon queen?? IS SHE BACK???'#the drama of it all#changheng has to be the one to explain everything about their relationship because#XLH is understandably taking a 'my husband just died--- i mean my actual husband' sabbatical

What's Gretchen's opinion on Strauss?
She respected him for going out of his way to take her in as an apprentice despite her technically being an "illegal" Tremere fledgling that's outside of the Pyramid. There was no denying that he taught her a lot, however, it wasn't enough for her. It didn't take long for Gretchen to feel as if Strauss and the Camarilla in general were holding her back from reaching her true potential. She aspired to learn rather darker arts while honing her current powers on her own. Gretchen joining the Sabbat was inevitable, as was Strauss's demise. She couldn't bring herself to diablerize him in the end. Those last few moments prior to him being reduced to ash made her heart bleed for a little while until it grew numb again as she carried on in her new unlife without looking back, her late mentor becoming a distant memory as the years went on.
#I'm most prly getting cancelled by Strauss stans#look. Y'all know Gretie is a bit of a greedy and ungrateful bloodthirsty bitch#but she knows what she wants and keeps slaying all the way#Wizard Caillou I like you and I'm sorry but you need to be slain for the plot#we're going by CQM's route here#So.. Yay! Happy ending for the Sabbat at least! F in the chat for the Cam and Anarchs#her banging Andrei might be the biggest “fuck you” to Max#morti answers
