"You want to know what death is? I'll tell you. Death is the loss of life. Despite everything doctors like me attempt... a patient's life can still fall through our fingers. You think death lies in the apex of science? Anyone with such little regard for life will die by my hand."

Character Analysis: Yosano Akiko

Age: 25 || Ability: Thou Shalt Not Die

BSD CHAPTER CHAPTER 65-66 SPOILERS

YOSANO BRAINROT!*(#&!*@#($

1. Author counterpart.

Having been given the “Sho Ho” at birth, Yosano Akiko’s counterpart—the real-life author—was known for her zealous take on both feminism and pacifism.

Side note: Once again, to avoid confusion, I will use the name Sho Ho in reference to the real-life author, and Yosano in reference to the BSD character.

Sho Ho's writings were pretty much out-of-the-ordinary in her time, and despite being suppressed by the social norms of gender hierarchy, she sought to reform society’s view on the cultural perspectives of women and their sexuality (She expressed her love for a woman in one of her poems, but many still argued on whether she identified herself as queer or not.)

"Thou Shalt Not Die," Yosano's ability, is actually named after one of Sho Ho's most famous, controversial poems. She wrote it for her brother, who was a soldier in the war between Russia and Japan (1904-1905). In her poem, she expressed her general distaste for war and how her brother was a part of it.

O my young brother, I cry for you Don't you understand you must not die! You who were born the last of all Command a special store of parents' love

Would parents place a blade in children's hands

Teaching them to murder other men Teaching them to kill and then to die? Have you so learned and grown to twenty-four?

- excerpt from Sho Ho's poem, "Kimi Shinitamou Koto Nakare"

Her words were blunt enough to inflict guilt on her brother's conscience, as she wasn't afraid to express her disapproval over how her brother took part in the typical violent bloodshed and manslaughter of war. Such opinions perturbed the authorities, and her work was eventually banned from the public for a period of time. Later on, it was used as an anti-war statement.

2. Yosano's history.

Now, as for the character in BSD, Yosano is seen to be generally strong-willed, and later on, we see that she is terrifyingly compassionately ambitious in the way she treats her patients. She treasured life itself, and hated the thought of losing a patient.

Yosano had developed her relations with Mori Ougai back in the Great War, when she was just 11 years old. Her ability was a great benefactor in saving lives. Realistically speaking, she was used for her ability to heal injured soldiers and diminish the effect of any casualty acquired.

Initially, she wasn't aware of this, until one of her close friends pointed it out by subtly accusing Mori of manipulating her to participate in the War under the close-to false pretence of 'saving lives.'

As much as her ability did save lives, it also forced soldiers to return to the frontlines and suffer injuries over and over again. The soldiers were never given the opportunity to return to their families because of her ability. This obliged them to carry on in the war without any excuse, inserting them into a vicious cycle they had no escape out of.

Metaphorically speaking, Yosano's hatred for Mori sort of mirrors Sho Ho's disdain for war and fighting, don't you think? The way Kafka materialised Yosano's past was quite interesting because he used chapters 65 and 66 to explain Yosano's dislike for Mori, reflecting how Sho Ho used her poem to explain why she condemned the idea of war and how her brother was part of it.

Before the effect of her ability was fully understood, however, every soldier praised and thanked her for what an angel she was. One of the soldiers she had befriended and gotten close to even kept a tally of the number of times she had saved him. He was the one who gifted her the butterfly hairpin she wore all the time.

The weight of the truth that her ability was a curse rather than a blessing fully dawned on her when her soldier friend ultimately committed suicide, because the fact of being indefinitely trapped in the throes of war agonised him until his spirit gave out. This drove Yosano to loathe her ability, or rather, how it was used.

In the time she participated in the War, Yosano was given the alias 'angel of death' due to the control she retained over the battlefield, but I thought that perhaps Kafka had a reason behind giving her this title, so I did my research.

3. 'Angel of Death' defined.

Side note: I wouldn't want to disrespect any culture or religion, so if my citations are inaccurate and/or disrespectful, do feel free to correct me/let me know! I did research out of pure curiosity, and I don't intend to twist the significance of any of the interpretations.

I had to grow up learning about the basics of religious stuff, so it's kind of nice to study something out of the box, and very much against my father's rigid belief system :D

ARCHANGEL ARIEL

(archangel: an angel of higher rank)

I came across the few characteristics of angels/goddesses and their roles, and the one which really caught my attention was the female archangel, Ariel, the angel of nature.

[ source ]

In Hebrew, the name Ariel means 'altar' or 'lioness of God,' and her role is to heal. In addition to that, she is also recognised as a helper to another one of the seven main archangels, Raphael, whose role is to provide physical and emotional healing, too.

She is the protecter of the environment and the animals therein, and is bestowed with the duty to oversee the order of heavenly bodies as well as earth's natural resources. She assures the sustenance of food, water, shelter, and supplies of human beings, much like how a nurse is to a patient I suppose.

In relation to Yosano, I think this part is pretty self-explanatory, or perhaps this is blown out of proportion HA, so take this as a suggestion rather than a fact, because I'd like to believe that Kafka had a reason for giving Yosano a title as such.

In the past, I've come across the angel of death only to perceive it as a female grim reaper of some sort, so it was pretty cool to find that the word 'angel' and 'death' made up a title of a someone like Ariel, one of the purest forms of humility and compassion.

GREEK GODDESS PANAKEIA

For my beloved (wannabe/or not) students of Greek mythology (much like myself, let's make a cult!), you've probably heard of Panakeia, the goddess of healing. Medicine finds most of its vital significance in Greek history, and in its mythology, Panakeia is actually known for her ability to heal any kind of sickness.

[ source ]

Her name means 'panacea,' which is actually defined as a remedy for all diseases. Terminal diseases and injuries lead to death, right? This would bring us back to Yosano's ability to nullify any injury's effects on a person, keeping them from death itself.

Now, we know that in order for Yosano's ability to work, her patient, or victim, has to be in a near-death condition in order for her treatment to take effect. This can't exactly fit into the description of resurrection, but it can be described as some sort of rebirth.

GREEK GODDESS PERSEPHONE

So another goddess which reminds me of Sho Ho/Yosano, is Persephone, the goddess of spring and rebirth. Before Hades, the god of the underworld, fell in love with Persephone to take her to live with him, Persephone lived a happy life.

Hades, with his nature of darkness and the like, was captivated by how pure Persephone was, and stole her away from her former life to live in an environment which differed sharply from her natural aura of purity.

[ source ]

Remember when Yosano's friend left a note behind before he killed himself? The note said nothing except for, "You are too righteous." Take that as you will, but figuratively speaking, you could say Mori takes the role of Hades in the story, while Yosano can be portrayed as Persephone.

Sho Ho can also be a parallel of Persephone, in that she had to adapt to the realities of war and disharmony, while Persephone had to adapt to the raw darkness of the underworld with Hades.

Sho Ho stood against society's norms and decided to reform it, making her one of the most well-known feministic pacifist in history, while Persephone managed to escape from the underworld to return to her former position, earning the title the 'Bringer of Life,' or the 'Destroyer of Death.'

Furthermore, the way Sho Ho's anti-war poem took its effect later on, reflects the way Persephone restored balance in the world after returning from the underworld.

4. Yosano and Atsushi.

chapter 66; Yosano: "It's my fault that those close to me died... Is there some place where it's okay for me to live?"

chapter 8; Atsushi: "If I have any chance of saving them all, of returning them home safely, would that mean it's okay for me to keep on living?"

I couldn't help but think of Dazai and Atsushi back when I was reading through these panels. Ranpo (my beloved), along with Fukuzawa, accepted Yosano as she was, despite how her ability was a cause of despair and misfortune.

Ranpo looked past her mistakes and the entirety of how dark her past was to welcome her into the Armed Detective Agency. Dazai, on the other hand, knew who Atsushi was and what his ability had made him do before anyone else, and still decided to provide a safe place for Atsushi to find his sense of belonging, journeying with him as he learned to use his ability properly.

For more info about Dazai and Atsushi's dynamic, you can check out the analysis I did for Dazai :D

Atsushi desired to save people to prove his right to live, while Yosano made her wish to achieve the recovery of all her patients the reason for her existence.

Others would prefer to accuse both Yosano and Atsushi of having a saviour complex, but the reason why they pursued to save people with utmost dedication, stems from the nature of what their past was like. You know the saying 'from broken to beautiful?' Yeah, it's something like that.

The way their pasts were written out gave them a desire to change, which was, I daresay, initiated by the people who took them in: Ranpo and Dazai. Their abilities were demonised because of how they were used, but once they broke from their abilities' effect over their lives, they honed their skills to control them for the right cause instead.

In a less cynical point of view, I believe both Yosano and Atsushi stood for what was right, and wanted nothing but to achieve peace and harmony in whatever way they could, even if it meant risking their own lives to save others.

So yeah, that's it for my rants today. Thank you for reading, and if you have anything to add, go ahead! I'm open to discussions ;)

The Pantheon of Raeverla

@lordkingsmith did the coolest thing for their follower celebration--a custom pantheon based on my OCs! I offered up the Foxes and Fate crew, and I am delighted with the results! I loved this, thank you so much again! :D

The Pantheon of Raeverla

The Luck Stealer

This creature is beautiful, and will offer enchantments and gifts, if it can but siphon off just a smattering of your luck. The greater the gift, the more luck it steals. However, it longs for love, and generosity to be given back in kind. His heart belongs to three, but he’s not something you should cage. The East wind, a creature of omen dependant on the good of humanity to survive. He was once a cat, who fell in love with the north wind, and sought to become his equal. They are rivals, and sometimes more. If you want to find him, go wandering. If you run across a caravan, walk past. Forty steps while thinking of what you want and you’ll run into a black cat. Give it fish, and explain what you want. If it’s doable, he will become his humanoid self and barter. If not...well...he got lunch. God of compassion, generosity, trickery, cats, and one of the Fate Weavers. God of the harvest.

The Windfall/Tempest

He gives luck to people. Another fate weaver, he makes too much luck and gives it to those who need it. The master of the butterfly effect. While his power is such that he could very well make all men bow, he withholds. His kindness and compassion is for all things and above all else he knows mercy is important. God of mercy, of foxes, of wonder, of longing, you shouldn’t cross him. To find him, wander. When you find a caravan, go in. you won’t remember what happened, but you will get what you need, one way or another. If he loses his temper he becomes Tempest, Lord of Storms. Be very, very careful when he becomes this. God of celebration

Lady of Skies

She is freedom, flight, adventure, the unknown and what wants to be known. She is the balance between good luck and bad luck and one of the fate weavers. Kind, and free spirited, she is one of the partners of Luck Stealer and the partner of Windfall. A bird, but with a core like the core of the earth. WIndfall grounds her, Luck Stealer emboldens her, with them she is happy. Alone, a force to be reckoned with but together? Just about unstoppable. To gain her favor, send a feather on the wind, holding your desire. If its possible, she will answer. Goddess of soulmates

Helper

He’s the guy going “you can do this, and if you need help, I will lend you a hand” he is the other partner of Luck Stealer. He is the earth. Every piece of himself is beautiful, even the scarier pieces. He loves the east wind, loves his friend Lady of Skies and respects that winds are ever changing, and not to be tied down. He’s the guy you go to when you just need a break. Nobody really needs to ‘summon’ him, he’s there. Just take a quiet moment, you’ll definitely feel his presence.

The Everlasting Lady

Goddess of duty. To oneself, one’s country, one’s friends, we all have duties. She quietly guides us to know which ones are priority at this particular moment. Elegant, poised, duty guides us all along, with many names. Self care, guardianship or protection, compassion. We provide ourselves or others with the things we or they need, and she gives us the tools to provide this. She is duty.

Rabble-Rouser

They love starting little conflicts. Not exactly a god of war, but maybe of debates and strife. Hot headed, and loyal to whatever cause they are called to help defend. Lots of little arguments start when this god is nearby. They can calm down, when the people who got into the conflict do. It’s more like forcing people to address what’s bothering them. Dont call them, they’ll show up without it. God of summer

Two Faced Elegance

God of lies, of half truths, of wickedness. Nobody calls them, unless they have plans to hurt on the brain. Don’t call them, or suffering happens. God of winter

The Knight Errant

The goddess of war. She doesn’t start fights but she certainly finishes them. Wanders in search of adventure, and people who need to become better. She holds herself to a high standard and holds her followers up as well. If you take up the sword and fight in her name, she is with you. God of the moon.

Wayward Stranger

He falls in love with every kind person. He loves humans, his heart belongs to them. He is the god of selflessness, of love, of broken hearts. However it’s often him that does the breaking. He has hope for all those around him. God of the sunlight.

Weeper

Oh, she weeps, but not for you. Goddess of catastrophe. She wanders the earth, her tears sowing disasters in her wake. She is beautiful, elegance suits her. But her beauty is poisoned. Beware, beware, beware. You might not like what happens if you get too close.

Analysis request! I'm 5'6", chubby, and blind as fuck without my glasses😂😂 I have long brown curly hair. I love to be around animals whenever I can and I always try to get them to be my friends!! I have a few close friends but I don't really like to socialize. I like writing, painting, d&d, and other crafty things! I'm super passionate and I have a big heart, but I also tend to rebel against rules I believe are unfair. I hope this is enough info, and this is a really cool thing, so thanks!!

Hiya!! Sorry this is so laaaate OTL

Killer Perks:

-Spies From the Shadows: The Entity’s little helpers seem to have taken a liking to you, finding you much less irritating than other killers; you seem to show them special attention, so in return, they’ll help you in trials.

-Bitter Murmur: You may love animals, but it seems you’ve learned a bit about the tedious art of hunting as well during your time in the Fog. You’ve developed an uncanny sense to know where survivors are heading when they flee a freshly finished gen.

-Entity Whispers: Much like its crows, you seem to have the Entity itself on your side when it comes to locating those pesky survivors. Its maddening whispers are clear as day to you, pointing you in the right direction.

-Corrupt Intervention: Speaking of the Entity, it seems to have really taken to you, fondness allowing it to pull some strings it wouldn’t normally. Careful though, this creature is no animal to make friends with.

Survivor Perks:

-Calm Spirit: Much like your killer side, the crows have grown fond of you, much to the Entity’s fury. Despite the chance of being killed and replaced, the crows never make noise when they see you go by. They enjoy the attempts you make to befriend them, and some of them often stay near you when you sleep.

-Small Game: You know enough about the animals you love to understand how scary and painful traps can be. Your love of crafts has given you a sense for details as well, so spotting a flash of white bone or the drawings of a trap on the ground are simple for you. This comes in special handy against the Hag, much to her dismay.

-Sprint Burst: Everyone should survive these trials in your opinion, and that meant you had to be on your A-game all the time. Getting caught isn’t an option, and even though it may hurt your lungs and legs, you’re prepared to go as fast as you can so you don’t get in trouble. Getting hooked meant the others would have to stop and help you, which would put them in danger.

-Vigil: What close friends you have deserve to be looked after, but you’re more of a passive soul, so you’ll stand vigil over them and make sure they get out alive, no matter what.

Weapons:

-Adiris’ Incense Burner: Both functional and giving off a lovely scent, this bludgeoning weapon is perfect for beating someone’s head in while smelling great! Not to mention it’s beautiful, so that’s a plus! You tend to admire the craftsmanship.

-Amanda’s Hidden Blade: You’re a sneaky one, quiet like a hunter. This hidden blade makes kills pretty quick and painless.

-Rin’s Sword: The flair of fantasy weapons was always one of your favorite things, so a strange vanishing/appearing blade is a must-have!

Powers:

-Bear Traps: You know animals pretty well at this point, and to you, humans count as animals. They’ll always go for the well-hidden places. Trees, grass, rocks; and when panicked, they’ll go straight for those pallets. You know the perfect places to set these traps and how to keep them hidden.

-Feral Frenzy: Quick and accurate, you sink a blade into survivors like teeth into flesh, over and over, watching them bleed. Yeah, the sprinting makes you tired to the point of almost passing out, but it’s worth it to see that pretty red.

-Kenneth’s Bottles: You made this yourself after all! Just mix a bit of this and that and try not to breath it in! Chuck those suckers!

Trials:

-Map: Yamaoka Estate- This lovely place is perfect for hunting down hiding survivors. On the other hand, it’s great to hide in. It’s easy to lose a killer in all that bamboo, and you tend to stray from the others to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature.

-Team: Jake Park- You love the craftiness he gets into, but you’re more of a creator, not a destroyer, so you leave the sabotaging to him. Prepare to unhook him quite a bit though...

Dwight Fairfield- With every group of rowdy teens/adults, you need a leader, and Dwight was basically born for the job after all. However, his cowardice can be a little irritating, but you’re always there to reassure him he’s okay. You’ve encouraged him out of several lockers, and he’s become a braver person for it.

Laurie Strode- Calculated and ready to rumble, you’re keeping Laurie out of trouble more than Jake. She’s always been pretty useful and quick on her feet, but she’s a goddess against her brother, and she’s always ready to throw down with him to keep you and the team safe.

Obsessed Killer:

-Bubba Sawyer: Your sweet, calming nature strikes the Cannibal in both good and bad ways. He’s often leaves you alone during trials or tunnels you with bloodlust; there is no in-between. When he’s being sweet, he’ll sit with you and babble, but you have to be careful. His attitude can switch suddenly and you’re in half in a puddle of blood. That’s happened a few times, but before fading away, you always hear him cry in panic at what he’d done. Over time, his killing you has become less and less frequent...

It was early September 2009; during the rainy season. We had just come back from a long summer break to this prison of a school. I watched her introduce herself to the class while I day dreamed about the possibilities of me getting her. She was the new girl in school, well mannered, articulate and damn sexy. The teacher himself seemed as if he would take a few cookies from her jar; he bit his lips while giving her a sexy look. It was as if he forgot where he was and what position he played. I legit begged god not to make her like him, I prayed she’d look at me for just a second but she just stood there; telling us about her trip to New York for the summer. This chick was living it up.

Tiffy: which school you coming from?

Rhonda: Emaculate and no, I’m not into girls.

The class laughed as we all thought she would be.

Teacher: Bouyd, no looking the new girl. Give her a chance to breathe.

Disappointed, I didn’t even say a word. I thought that would make things bad for me but he made her notice me. Throughout class our eyes collided a few times but I decided to play it cool. I acted as if I could care less that she noticed me. I almost believed I didn’t until she said hi. Like a punk I baffled; I was choking on my own words. How dare she approach me with her damn pretty self, what’s she really up to?. She stood there smiling and looking puzzled, waiting for me to say hi.

Me: H... H... Hi

Rhonda: You seem to be a shy guy. You afraid of me?

I couldn’t help but smile as I struggled to respond. In my mind, I said a million things. But in reality, I sounded like a mosquito on the hunt.

Rhonda: Can I have a call please?. I wanna call my mom.

Blinded to the plan, I handed her the phone and ordered my regular meal. I wanted to ask for her number but I could hardly even tell her my name. I kept thinking about it but it just never happened. Like any other day my friends and I headed straight for the town after school with not even a thought about her. We were at the game shop when I received a message from a Rhonda but didn’t pay much attention to it as I thought it was an x I forgot about. It took me a few hours to come to the realization that she added her number to my phone when begged the call. I couldn’t help but laugh.

Text:

Hey, you could have at least said goodbye. I was looking for you, good thing I stole your number lol 😆 my name is Rhonda btw.

I read it 100 times if not more before replying. She tricked me. She could have asked, I would have given her eventually. After reviving that is cause I’m pretty sure I would have fainted. Within a few hours of texting she decided she wanted us

to be together. Single and ready to mingle is what she said. She had broken up with her boyfriend a few weeks back. Like a dog for a bone I jumped at the opportunity, not remembering I was seeing someone.After all, I had nothing to loose and to me it was a must do in a lifetime situation. For days we acted like strangers at school and if I didn’t know better I’d think we were. We debated and disagreed on almost everything at class. As far as everyone was concerned we hated each other’s guts. We had the perfect cover until she decided to get us matching watches with my initials engraved. It was our 2 months anniversary gift. We had spent so much time hiding from the world we hadn’t even kissed yet. I invited her over for a weekend hoping I’d be able to score. My room became a 5 star resort that day; the cleanest it had ever bee. My best sheets, above my budget air freshener and a stylish curtain I had stolen from uncle the Christmas before.

Rhonda: Your mom cleaned?

Me: I don’t live with my mom.

She seemed pleased with what I did with the place. She stood there looking like a goddess; inhaling the air freshener and taking notice of every little detail like an inspector on a crime scene.

Rhonda: I still don’t believe you did this but Ima take your word for it. Let’s watch a movie and get comfy.

She dived onto to the bed as if she’d been there a million times. They became best of friends at first sight. I kept staring at her hairy legs and her boobs that could hardly stay in her bra. I had imagined how she’d look without her uniform so many times but never came close to what she looked like in my bed. I closed my eyes for a second and instantly we started making out. Wet kisses and seductive scratches. We had been waiting for this for weeks now and this was the moment of truth. She was already butt naked before I could even get my shirt off, damn. I got confused looking at her body; it was so bad I couldn’t decide where to start. Like a pro she pushed me over and got on top. Running her tongue across my waist and stroking my banana; my nervous system broke down. I tried so hard to act like it didn’t feel good but my body gave in. My legs shook like crazy, my toes cracked and rod grew rock hard. She rubbed it against her face as if she was caressing it then slowly made wet circles with her tongue. She was no amateur sure, she was doing this for years. Harder and harder she stroked and blew, making me wanna explode.

Rhonda: Baby... Cum for me please...

Me: I’m cumin,

Rhonda: Do it in my mouth. Give me all that cream

Rhonda: Bouyd..... ((Bouyd))...... ((((Bouyd)))) wake up. (((((Bouyd))))).......

I jumped up to realize the bj I got was only in my imagination. “I can’t believe you fell asleep, you didn’t even see the movie”. To my surprise, she only had her shorts and her bra on. She turned her back and said she’s mad at me, claiming I’m the worst boyfriend and she’s never gonna come back. There’s no way I’d let her just up and leave like that. I whispered “I’m sorry” in her ears and gave her a kiss on the forehead hoping she would change her mind. I had bargained for an “I forgive you” but what happened next was as unpredictable as lightening striking the same place twice. “I just love you so damn much”. Again She kissed my lips, only difference is this time it was real. You know that feeling you get in your tummy when you speed over a bump; that’s exactly how I felt. I could feel the nervousness on her lips and feel her heart beating like a drum. I helped myself to her nipples and watched her moan and bite her lips. I slipped her shorts off and placed my dick in her underwear causing her to ((vibrate)) like a ringing phone. I kept taunting her with lingering kisses and quick rubs of my shaft against her clit; this made her dripping wet. I slid the head in and held her neck as she gasped for breath. I nibbled on her nipples and slowly moved my waist, going in and out, deep and steady. She moaned and turned and scratched which made me even harder. We got so hot it was as if we were in a sweat room; heavy breathing, shit talking, body moving, her cumin kinda sex. I blocked out the moment I came. Anxiety, adrenaline and my dream had run me dry. Kudos for the sex she said, it was worth the while. We both laid there staring at each other for a while, reliving what we just did. By the look on her face I could tell this was gonna happen again soon.

We went to school next Monday and acted just like nothing happened. I thought we had pulled off the ultimate stunt and not get caught. Unfortunately, that was not the case. An argument started in literature class that morning resulting in both girls getting suspended. It happened so fast I still don’t even know how it started. All I could do was dodge pen stabs and spraying blood. My x Renae had heard about Rhonda and I and she wasn’t gonna have it. Funny enough that’s the sane girl who dissed me weeks before for a conductor, claiming “school bwoy money dun pon Friday”. Is she crazy, what is she fighting for, what the hell does she want?. A million questions crossed my mind while they tumbled over the seats; frightened and confused I didn’t even know what to do. By the time they separated them they were both bleeding. Uniforms torn, hair messy and bruises all over. At the end of the day neither of them won. We all had our partners plus Renae was my x for god sakes. She left me. Why embarrass yourself in front of the class for someone you left. I sure as hell wouldn’t cause I ain’t go look like no fool fighting over an x. They were both suspended for 10 days as neither of them could give the principal a reason for fighting. I was worried they’d mention my name to the principal because the dude and I had beef. News spread fast and my gf soon heard about the incident. An instant break up is what I call it, not even a second chance. But when I think about it I guess she ran out of second chances, she had already given me several in the past.

Renae came to see me a few days later. She had come to apologize for what she did but ended up getting a belly full a dick before she could explain herself. To be honest, I was dying to fuck her again. I couldn’t stop thinking bout the sex we had at her pageant a few months back. The thought of her riding me in the car just kept coming back. What made it worst is that she came to see me in nothing but a thin dress revealing her her sexy figure and mesh undies. I had undressed her long before she even made it to the room. With her legs around my waist I braced her against the wall and stroked her hard and deep. She was just as horny as I was or maybe even worst than I was. She came so many times she couldn’t keep her cool. She broke down in tears as she told me she loves me. I could feel her heart beating like a drum against my chest when we squeezed tight together. We fell asleep shortly after as we were beat.

It was a knocking at my door that woke me up. (((Boom, boom, boom))) I thought for a second of all the people who it could be knocking at my door. If it’s uncle I could hide her under the sheet, if it’s the helper she won’t come in but if it’s Aunty she’s gonna wanna come chat. (((Boom, boom, boom))) Bouyd, open the door. To my surprise, it was neither of the people I thought it would be. It was Rhonda, I had forgotten she said she was gonna come see me. (((Sigh, deep breath))) what do I do now, how do I get out of this one. ((((((((Bouyd)))))))))

Me: Yeah (sleeping voice)

Rhonda: open up

Me: Give me a moment.

Rhonda: To do what? Do you have company? (((Bouyd)))

Renae had decided she’s not hiding from her, she was all pumped up and ready to fight. I repeatedly scratched my head due to the level of confusion and adrenaline running through my body.

Renae: You better go home Rhonda cause I ain’t going anywhere today.

Rhonda: Wtf, which duty gyal that in yuh room. Open the door now. (((((Boom, boom, boom)))))

I laid there regretting the sex we just had and thinking to myself “why is this happening to me god”. (((Boom, boom, boom, boom)))

Renae: Open the door and let me fuck her up. I planned to die today.

Helper: Bouyd do not open the door, she has a knife.

Rhonda: Shut up, I’m gonna kill them

Helper: Don’t throw your life away on them.

I listened to the helper lecture her while Renae dragged her clothes on. My brain was all over the place. It was a nail biting, most confusing, badly regretting, should not be happening kinda moment. Suddenly it hit me, I could let her through my window and have her run through the back door. Brilliant, or at least that’s how I felt when I came up with the idea. By the time I took out the glass for her to jump through Rhonda had already realized what was happening. She ran to the wash room with the knife and jumped in through the window. Luckily we ran to the door and escaped through the front 😂. It was as if I was watching a Karate movie. Rhonda came running through the front and Renae started hurling stones at her. They created such a scene even passers by stopped to watch. Eventually the helper took the knife and Renae left. But not before telling me a piece of her mind. Rhonda decided she was gonna kill herself if she can’t have me. She sat on the stairs crying as I watched from a distance. As much as she no longer had the knife I was still scared like a bitch from what just happened. I thought she would have left but instead she headed to my room and fell asleep in my bed. She had planned to stay overnight so I guess she decided to put what just happened behind us. I headed on the road and expected her to be gone by the time I got back but I came home to a half naked girl watching lifetime movies.

Rhonda: Don’t run. I just want to talk. Please.

I stood there looking at her with one eye while scoping the room with the other. I couldn’t help but notice the struggle her underwear was undergoing. My favourite color on my favourite girl. To be honest, I really liked her but I just had to fuck my x one last time to get it out my system. She laid back in bed and asked me to join her. I stood there for a while premeditating what I’d do if she attacks me before going in.

Rhonda: Was that the last time?

Me: Yes

Rhonda: Are you sure Bouyd?

Me: Yes, I am sure.

She broke down in tears the moment I said that. Tears ran down her cheek like a leaking pipe. It made me feel bad as I really liked her. I wiped her tears and kissed her lips and told her I was sorry for what happened. She asked me to make love to her like I’d never see her again, like my life depended on it. I took forever to cum that night and when I finally did she held me tight inside her; absorbing all my seedlings. That was my first time cumin inside someone and that’s when my life turned upside down. We had to do everything together; lunch, break, weekends 🤦‍♂️. She kept taking bout being my baby mother and I can’t cheat on her or else she’ll kill herself. I was stressed the fuck out. A 15 year old boy with a baby on the way, no money in the bank and no where of my own. As much as uncle let me get away with everything I don’t think he’d be too happy about this. For weeks I couldn’t even think straight, the thought of being a father haunted me. At some point I felt like a king but when I thought about how I’d maintain a baby and a hot girlfriend my confidence took a dive. 3 months passed and I grew thin. I actually fell deep for this girl, seeing her everyday brought us closer together. I became the happiest man in the world once I accepted the fact that she’s pregnant. I mentioned it to my therapist one day and she wanted to be sure she was pregnant 🤰. She offered to trick her into doing a test. I was eager to find out if she’s really pregnant or if she’s playing me. And at the same time I didn’t want to because I knew if she was lying I’d hate her and I really didn’t want to.

Eventually she tricked her into doing the test.

Therapist: Bouyd, I got good news for you.

Me: 😍 I told you she was pregnant

Therapist: I’m afraid she’s not

Me: 😳🙄😔 What do you mean

Therapist: I’m sorry Bouyd. She’s being playing you this entire time. I know you really love her because you have being happy lately. Maybe she did it because she wants to have you for herself.

Me: 😭🤬

I broke down in tears that day. My therapist had never seen me show emotions or remorse for anyone or anything so this was strange for her to see. She tried everything to calm me down but my emotions could not be contained. For days I was numb, I got so cold that I even shut apple out completely. We were both going through breakups and in need of comforting but I was too fucked up in my head to even talk to her. I started avoiding Rhonda the moment I got the bad news, I hated her so much I burnt every pic I had of her and anything that reminded me of her. I blocked her calls and screened her messages. Whenever she tried talking to me at school I’d just ignore her and act as if I didn’t hear or see her. I can’t forget the look on her face when I broke up with her in class; she seemed as if she heard someone close to her just died. Her eyes were filled with tears and she started breathing as if she was suffocating. At that point I could have cared less if she died. I had finally let her go and accepted the fact that she had given me seven for eleven. I wish I could have taken back the fuck and my number that she stole that day but sadly that wasn’t possible.

She called me on a private number one night; telling me she’s gonna kill herself if I don’t talk to her, she claimed I was her reason for living and she wants to spend forever with me 🤦‍♂️. But how can you want to spend your life with someone that you lied to to make them love you, l’d only be loving a lie. I had only fallen in love with the thought that she was gonna bring me a child. “Kill yourself, I could care less”. That was my reply and to my surprise she was rushed to the doctor the next morning for drug overdose and slitting her wrist several times 😳. Her mom sent me a message saying that she lost a lot of blood and I should come by. As much as I hated her I didn’t really want her to kill herself, I just wanted her to leave me the fuck alone. Shit, I guess she loved me after all or maybe she was just paranoid. I couldn’t help but think she was faking this too as she had me cumin inside her like crazy to convince me she was pregnant. What if she was lying and her mom was in on it 🤦‍♂️. My heart was heavy and my head was all over the place. Eventually I went to see her; she was just laying there, mute and motionless. Looking at me as if I was a stranger.

Rhonda: I almost killed myself for you Bouyd. Does that mean anything to you?

Me: Yes, it shows me you’re crazy and you’d kill me too. That worries me and I can’t be with someone who I have to be worried about all the time.

Rhonda: I would never hurt you Bouyd

Me: You already hurt me Rhonda and there’s no fixing that. You lied to me for months and for that I hate you. Friends is as far as we’ll go.

Again she broke down in tears but I could care less; at that point I just wanted her to know that we were over. I left her crying her eyes out on her mom’s shoulder which caused her to block out again. I hadn’t seen her for about 2 weeks and during this time we never reached out to each other so I figured we were over; or at least that’s what I thought. She came back as a new girlfriend; no arguments, no drama, no bulshit. Again I fell for this girl, the same girl I hated 2 weeks ago, the same girl who lied about her pregnancy 🤰. 🤦‍♂️ It was as if she hypnotized me and I forgot all the shit she did. You could say she practically lived with me, she spent more time in my bed than she spent in hers. Things were looking up. I remember her spending my birthday weekend me and in return i’d accompany her and her mom to the air port. Her mom was going back to take care of some business; at least that’s what she told me. I realized there were 2 suitcases and 2 carry on luggages. There was just me, her, her mom and the driver who sure as hell wasn’t going any where but I didn’t question it. I thought maybe her mom was taking some things back to the states. When we got to check in I realized 1 of the suitcases had her name tag and the other had her mom’s.

Me: Your mom bag has your name on it

Rhonda: It’s my bag

Me: 😂 you joke too much

Rhonda: 😔 I’m leaving

Me: 😳 What the fuck

Rhonda: We’re moving to the states and I don’t know when or if we will come back.

Me: 😂 You play too much

She stood there staring at me with a distant look in her face. Slowly her eyes over flowed down her cheeks and emotions made her stutter. It seemed as if she was choking on her words.

Rhonda: I...... I...... I....I....... I am serious Bouyd. I didn’t know how to tell you that I was leaving. I didn’t want you to hate me. Ppppppp........please forgive me.

Announcement: Flight JFK123 Last chance to check in.

Rhonda: I’m gonna check in before I get left behind. She kissed me on my forehead, said I’ll always love you and stepped away crying.

I watched her walk away and it was the longest 2 minutes in my life. I hoped she’d turn back, I prayed it was just a serious joke. But she never came back. She left with my heart and poisoned my emotions. I died that day. She had unplugged me from my “life” and left nothing but a shell walking around. I felt so empty; I couldn’t care about anyone or anything. I just wanted to hurt everybody. Build them up with false hope then fuck them up just like she did to me. I had collected my jar of hearts, trophies if you’d call it. But at the end of the day, it only made me lonely. It was fun rounding up the body counts but it sucked not to have someone to love. I had a lot of chicks running in and out but whenever I really needed someone, I was all on my own. As for them, they had someone to go home to.

Eventually I met Djon’s mom who changed shit. But that’s another story for another day. Rhonda and I are friends today but we’ve never tried to fix us. Somethings are best left broken.

Who're the rest of these Voices? If you don't mind me asking. 😅

:D You're going to regret asking. I have so much random content about them.

Some warnings:

Had this crew since 2003-2004. They've changed a lot. I've changed a lot too.

They all have sad stories, to some extent, because Tragic Backstories.

The time they exist in is super flexible, with fantasy elements and contemporary elements.

Very long explanation under the cut.

This is a "family" picture I did in college, so 2010ish.

Left to right, top to bottom, human name / Voice name:

Howie / Houshi

"Lust" Voice obvi.

Voice name was a reference to Miroku from Inuyasha, because he was a pervy priest.

Accidentally shot by a lust arrow by his sister and is now "forever" plagued by perversion. (He gets over it.)

As he gets older, he got pretty spiritual for some reason

...and I just realized he was originally based off a priest so that's probably why he got spiritual. *dead*

Lydia / Love

Howie's sister and a Cupid Helper. Hence the lust arrow incident.

"Love" Voice.

Hopeless romantic and idealist.

Arro / Arrogant

Dark elf prince that gave up his throne

Was my "Evil" voice, but since I wasn't particularly evil/bad, he was just kind of over-the-top and goofy.

Has an affinity for chickens.

Joker is his boyfriend/partner/lover.

Oh, and he's a choreographer now!

Joey / Joker

Vampire, orphan, thief.

Started off as my Humor voice, but has developed a really dark side.

Arrogant is his boyfriend/partner/lover.

Also, is kind of Arro's manager. Like handles the finances and contracts.

Eruden / Al / Me

Self-explanatory. It's me.

I did have this side-thing where I was a Goddess of Darkness in training, buuut I ended up relinquishing the powers to Axel.

It's a long story.

Mimi / Mocha

Pixie party-girl, represented my hyper side. (I never partied tho.)

A romantic entanglement with another person's OC - that went super south - sobered her up a bit.

Runs a bakery

Lou / Life

Called him my "Sarcastic Voice" but really it was Protection.

Classic Marty Stu.

Used to be a hothead jerk "with a heart of gold" sort *snort*

Werewolf, wolf demon, demigod... I know it's a lot. Grandpa is an AU version of Fenris that fell in love with one of AU!Poseidon's daughters.

Grew up an orphan, got mixed up in gangs.

Sings and plays guitar, because I'm a basic bitch that swoons over that stuff, okay???

Definite leader-type, though everyone often gives him shit.

Derrick / Death

"Friendly" Voice? "Socially Acceptable" Voice?

Long lost twin of Life's.

Adopted out to human family and was basically a "token" werewolf in his community.

Made friends easily, partied moderately, kind of has this sense of loneliness, though.

Winnie / Wisdom

NERD VOICE. (Okay, voice of Wisdom, obvi.)

Dryad, runs a bookstore now. So kind of a morbid job for her. lol

Generally the voice of reason and responsibility.

In a relationship with Outcast.

Olivia / Outcast

Gothy "Outcast" Voice. Rage at the world, angry with society, kind of depression.

Siren.

Sings and dances, nowadays!

In a relationship with Wisdom.

Axel / Anti-Mean (yes, really, anti-mean)

Represented "anti-mean" feelings. lol Compassion, righteousness, sense of justice.

He is now the God of Darkness... It's complicated.

Originally backstory was he used to be a teacher, but a student blamed a bomb threat on him and he got fired. ¯\_(o_o)_/¯ *shrug*

Older than the other Voices.

idk what the relationship is between them, but he takes care of Flora. (Not like a sugar daddy way, though.)

Flora / Flaunt

"Girly" Voice that was originally created to be a villain.

After addressing my own internalized misogyny, I suppose she became more of a "Confidence" Voice or a "Realist" Voice?

Had a rough time after being kicked out of the Voices for years.

Again, idk what the relationship is between them, but she is a companion to Axel.

Mel / Melancholy

"Lonely" Voice, bittersweet feelings.

Arro's little sister. Originally was around to get him to go back and reclaim throne.

She's actually not pictured much, since she returned to the kingdom to save it from her evil uncle.

Yes, yes, I know, it's giving Lion King vibes.

#the voices #voices #answered #it's about time I drew another family picture actually #last one was in 2016 for therapy lol #Yes I talked to my therapist about this group #she caught on pretty quick they represented parts of myself #THOUGH I still like to think they're out there in the multiverse somewhere and we have a connection through time-space-dimensions #it gives me comfort

Rain Rants again with her shitty unpopular opinion. (I might be burnt at the stake) This is long.

This is a piece about SasuSaku and NaruHina. Before I start, I should clarify: I have been a fan of both since the chuunin exams and I became an semi active-lurk member on the NF since Naruto Shippuden was released. This is my point of view about the whole ordeal since the fateful 5th of november of 2014 and how I see both fandoms in general now. If you are easily offended or nitpicky, please keep in mind this is only MY opinion and perspective.

Being in the SasuSaku fandom for a really long time has been bittersweet the same way as being in the NaruHina fandom at the same time, due to all the bickering between them when they have no basis to be mad at each other. Like, both of the fandoms became a competition about who is a better woman. In other words: they fight for the stupidest shit. Back then I would’ve sighed and felt conflicted and unable to voice an opinion because both pairing fandoms took it as a personal offense. Okay I am exagerating but most of the time it felt that way. Nowadays I laugh. And I know that I will get some fans offended by what I am about to say because SasuSaku fans are still very sensitive, and NaruHina fans, well I should say some are insufferable.

Both pairings had a lot to prove back then, I understood being defensive against people who slammed the pairings, mostly the hate directed towards the girls. Calling them names, insulting them with the overused insult of all: “useless”.

I could write a 1,500 character essay about my opinion of how Hinata became the untouchable overpowered goddess of the NaruHina fandom -considering the humble begginings of the couple- and why Sakura’s opinion about her character never changed - even though she was one of the most developed secondary characters.

I will not deny that Kishimoto’s writing of Sakura was never the best. As well as the writing for Hinata - it wasn’t the most gracious. The anime didn’t help either. But what he could not make up for explicit development he tried to compensate it by writing their personality. And I would write another 2,500 essay explaining how this was good and bad for him.

However I can say this: I will not deny that Kishimoto’s cryptic writing, specially of Sasuke’s character, did not help Sakura’s case at all for people who were just watching without analyzing the scenes and panel by panel. Hinata’s case was more direct that’s why the popularity of Naruhina rose as the hate for the pairing did as well.

I understand Kishimoto’s need to retain all the shippers to keep reading and that’s why the red herrings were placed. And believe me, every time a red herring appeared it was hell for both of the pairings. Once the red herrings dissappeared it was clear that both pairings were meant to be. Period.

For fans it didn’t stop there. Both of the fandoms wanted to prove something, what that something was? Stupidity. Sorry but that’s how I felt that whole thing was. (Imagine being a shipper for both of the pairings at the time. Not only fighting with the antis but also fighting between the pairings because... well they were fighting to see which girl had the bigger pussy- I couldn’t say dick because duh, but it was pretty much the whole fight).

My first bump with both of the fandoms was with Naruto the Last. For some reason -well, instigated by the antis from both couples and the greatest shipping war there was at the time. And so a grueling 6 months battle began-, no one was satisfied. Criticism of the movie started to appear, but the shipping war got the best of both fandoms. It became infected by the antis with the valid questions: Why would Naruto wait 2 years? Why isn’t there any Sasuke in the movie if Sasuke was spammed like junk mail in the trailers? Those questions were fair and we should’ve had a conversation as to why they would do it and move on, however at this point both of the fandoms were intoxicated. I tried to voice my opinions but I was one of the few who was seeing things in a different perspective... even the ones who were rooting for both pairings became toxic.

NaruHina fans had 4 reactions:

a- Inside the fanbase people were mad because 2 years it’s a long time, not realistic at all - and well, the development was really natural in the manga and the movie made the characters seem like they never spoke to each other at all after the war.

b- The image from the outsiders made them feel that Hinata was treated like a damsel in distress and the overall cliched plot- so, basically the fandom agreed and they started to whine a lot.

c- The movie made Naruhina rejoice about the fan service the movie provided, but this also had negative consequences.- The most recurrent essay from the ones who liked both pairings began: “I love both pairings and I am happy for Hinata but...” forcing many of them to pick sides.

d- It all worsened by the attitude NaruHina fans took: “WE have only the best. WE have the movie. WE have the fanservice. WE are the best. Hinata was the queen all along. Hinata is stronger than... Naruhina is better than... Hinata, oh, Heil Hinata.”

I didn’t like it. I had to unfollow people I have followed since the NF days and I kept people who only liked both pairings... but even then... there was one thing that I liked less.

Because of all of the glory Naruhina was sharing the SasuSaku fandom didn’t get much fanservice. After all the fight, we deserved something, right? Because Sakura went trhough hell to get the guy, right? After all the bickering with other fandoms, right? SasuSaku deserved have more scenes in the movie because of the trailers and moreover because SasuSaku was the main couple, right? Wrong.

I understood where people came from when they said SasuSaku is the main couple, because well, they share a lot in part 1, it was the most developed from the 2 - well, 3 couples if we count ShikaTema-, at the time, but the truth is, since both couples did not depend one from the other, a plot involving the two would’ve been too convoluted. I guess one could say that it’s not impossible since other movies do this, but it was not a movie, it was a Naruto movie. A plot with Sasuke and Sakura’s involvement would’ve overshadowed the dynamic between Naruto and Hinata like maaaany times before. Kishimoto was forced time and time again to take Sasuke out of the picture for Naruto develop his bonds outside Team 7 not only with Hinata, but she was the most obvious of this technique.

Yes, I do understand the criticism Kishimoto had for overcomplicating things and that an arc in the manga would’ve been more fitting if he wanted to complicate it but it’s obvious that his plan was to leave it open for interpretation like he did at the end of 699. That was the end he wanted and it shows.

Most of the SasuSaku fans didn’t like it and the few that remained neutral regarding the movie were being infected little by little with each negative post. Because a double date movie was more fitting for Naruto: The Last, considering how much Sasuke there was in the trailers. The attitude of NaruHina fans did not help, it only fueled them. SasuSaku fans became extremely pessimistic. This was my second bump.

4 months passed, things were still tense I distanced myself from the fandom. SasuSaku was fighting with everybody. NaruHina was fighting with everybody. Naruto Gaiden came and for some reason... it got scary.

I loved each chapter of Gaiden because of the whole context that may have pushed Kishimoto to write it the way he did. I loved Sarada, I loved SasuSaku moments and I returned to see what SasuSaku shippers were saying, what I found was my third bump.

Whining. Cursing. Dissapointed fans. Negativism. People hating on Gaiden. Unnecesary drama, some fans pointed out. And I thought “Wait a minute, every single story is unnecesary drama. WTH are they talking about?” “Sarada is an ungreateful child. Unlikable” they chimed. And still I was thinking: “Team 7 was not likable at the beggining either”. “Sasuke was not there? Inconceivable! I hate Kishimoto because it’s impossible for Sasuke to never have seen Sarada.”

They started to pick apart every single panel, every single interaction. The whole thing was an essay by the author of the precious couple to show the ridiculousness he had to endure for 6 months after he ended his manga. With the Thank you pages flooded with nasty messages from other antis. With the online comunity trying to boicott him, disrespecting him, harrassing him, harrassing his editors through twitter, his helpers and even some calls to Shounen Jump. Gaiden was meant to be read as a mocking piece. I saw through it and I was dissapointed that some fans were not able to see that.

At the end people tried to make peace with Gaiden and Boruto the movie came. And everyone was happy with the little interactions here and there. Just kidding. SasuSaku fans started to complain about how Sakura’s body was drawn. “Too skinny, too flat, face it’s too round. She looks like a little girl.” No, nevermind her badassery and cuteness, her body was her problem. “Kishimoto draws her like a woman. SP I hate you.”

Suddenly the problem became Studio Pierrot. Yes, I understood that they fucked up a lot of things but there was one problem the Naruto anime had as a whole especially in the transition to Naruto Shippuden and Shippuuden itself: Naruto became disjointed. The Anime of Naruto is no masterpiece and part of that was not the fillers by themselves, but the fillers in which the directors didn’t give a fuck about the story and fluidity. Little by little Naruto became less a cohesive story and more a gag anime. By the time Shippuuden had its turn to be animated, many of the boring and enraging tropes they commited in part 1 filler hell, was transitioned to Shippuuden.

If comunication is key, in Naruto anime’s case, that key was lost somewhere in the parking lot. Red herrings were glorified, Sakura’s awful personality was enhanced even though we know that in the manga, Sakura had become very fond of Naruto as a friend and was acting like a real friend to him. Sakura anime was a completely different person from Sakura in the manga.

Either way, SP tried to mend something that was completely broken by that point: Sakura’s sweet girl act did not work anymore and it made her look bad and not sincere. But it’s fine, I know directors were just following orders and animators as well. I got mad but tha’s fine, at least they didn’t change anything crucial. Yes, animation was always shitty when it came to animate SasuSaku scenes, but hey, I already knew their bias. But the fandom did not let it be.

Now, with the whole Boruto generations I have found a fourth bump. Until now, Gaiden has been well animated, things that were critized in the manga are being spelled out letter by letter. We are having more explanation, more exposition, better animation, better character designs and more personality from Sakura, and still SasuSaku shippers are negative and point their finger at SP critizing every single error it has. There are a lot of moments in general in the anime that were not shown properly or at all, but in general, the fandom seemed to accept that fact because... well, it’s SP, it’s an adaptation of a manga and has always been a bad one at that. Why is the SasuSaku fandom still negative and pessimistic? I get that we have to be critical of what we consume but.. why are they so defensive all the freaking time.

Sasuke and Sakura are canon and there is no thing an anti can say or do to change that fact. Insulting Sakura’s character or whatever it’s laughable, because despite what people might say, the manga proves them wrong. Kishimoto proves them wrong. We know that. What's the point?

To me, everytime I see a complaint without a strong case like: "this panel was cut, this scene was changed, this was not in that room. Sakura is not flat.", it shows to me what a big inferiority complex the SasuSaku shippers have. Like what the hell? I get that making fun of SP is fun, but there are shippers who are actually mad at it... like, have you not seen what a mess the Naruto anime is and you are complaining about size of Sakura’s boobs or the make up she wears or lack there of? LOL.

I finally understand: The SasuSaku fans are never going to be pleased.

NaruHina shippers: I love you guys but sometimes... ugh.

Sorry for this massive ranting. If you read it all, congratulations. You win cookies.

Have a great day everybody. I was hoping mom and dad would forgive each other already... Not happening any day soon, it seems.

PS. I still love you too SasuSaku shippers but I think you need a reality check.

#pro sasusaku #pro naruhina #pro sasusaku an naruhina #naruhina #sasusaku #long post #rain rants #i still love you guys #but I laugh at you not in a good way

Acts 19

Paul in Ephesus

1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples 2 and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when[a] you believed?”

They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

3 So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?”

“John’s baptism,” they replied.

4 Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” 5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues[b] and prophesied. 7 There were about twelve men in all.

8 Paul entered the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God. 9 But some of them became obstinate; they refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way. So Paul left them. He took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus. 10 This went on for two years, so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord.

11 God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them.

13 Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, “In the name of the Jesus whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.” 14 Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. 15 One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?” 16 Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding.

17 When this became known to the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all seized with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor. 18 Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed what they had done. 19 A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.[c] 20 In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power.

21 After all this had happened, Paul decided[d] to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia. “After I have been there,” he said, “I must visit Rome also.” 22 He sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, while he stayed in the province of Asia a little longer.

The Riot in Ephesus

23 About that time there arose a great disturbance about the Way. 24 A silversmith named Demetrius, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought in a lot of business for the craftsmen there. 25 He called them together, along with the workers in related trades, and said: “You know, my friends, that we receive a good income from this business. 26 And you see and hear how this fellow Paul has convinced and led astray large numbers of people here in Ephesus and in practically the whole province of Asia. He says that gods made by human hands are no gods at all. 27 There is danger not only that our trade will lose its good name, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited; and the goddess herself, who is worshiped throughout the province of Asia and the world, will be robbed of her divine majesty.”

28 When they heard this, they were furious and began shouting: “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!” 29 Soon the whole city was in an uproar. The people seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul’s traveling companions from Macedonia, and all of them rushed into the theater together. 30 Paul wanted to appear before the crowd, but the disciples would not let him. 31 Even some of the officials of the province, friends of Paul, sent him a message begging him not to venture into the theater.

32 The assembly was in confusion: Some were shouting one thing, some another. Most of the people did not even know why they were there. 33 The Jews in the crowd pushed Alexander to the front, and they shouted instructions to him. He motioned for silence in order to make a defense before the people. 34 But when they realized he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison for about two hours: “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

35 The city clerk quieted the crowd and said: “Fellow Ephesians, doesn’t all the world know that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven? 36 Therefore, since these facts are undeniable, you ought to calm down and not do anything rash. 37 You have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed temples nor blasphemed our goddess. 38 If, then, Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a grievance against anybody, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. They can press charges. 39 If there is anything further you want to bring up, it must be settled in a legal assembly. 40 As it is, we are in danger of being charged with rioting because of what happened today. In that case we would not be able to account for this commotion, since there is no reason for it.” 41 After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.

As scorpions were a very real and dangerous threat in ancient Egypt, she was taken as a patron goddess by many pharaohs, with some early kings coming to be known as "scorpion kings". Eventually she came to be identified with Isis, becoming an aspect of her over time.

“Somebody has me, somebody takes me away, do you see, don't you see, to the courts of dead men. He frowns from under dark brows. He has wings. It is Thanatos.” — Euripides, Alcestis 259 ff

“... One of these [Hypnos], across the earth and the wide sea-ridges, goes his way quietly back and forth, and is kind to mortals, but the heart of the other one [Thanatos] is iron, and brazen feelings without pity are inside his breast.” — Hesiod, Theogony 758 ff

g e n e r a l —

Diety: Θάνατος ( Thanatos, derived from θνῄσκω meaning ‘to die, be dying’ ) — God of Peaceful Death.

Mortal Identity: Αλεξιος ( Alexios, meaning ‘helper’ or ‘defender’ )

Face Claim: Aidan Gillen

Siblings: Hypnos, Eris, Cer, Nemesis, Morpheus, Phobetor, and Phantasos

b i o g r a p h y —

Thanatos is one of the many children of Nyx, created on her own in the darkness, that was born before the Titans. A direct descendent of Chaos, he saw the Titans swallow their children and then them being slain or imprisoned by the children they had sought to kill. Cer had her day to reap gods and drink their spilled blood then, but Thanatos was more patient. There would be time to collect his souls, whether they be god or mortal, to carry down to the Underworld and he would have his fill of life blood.

Then the Olympians rose to power. They were squabbling children to him — drunks and liars, adulterers and murderers ( oh, but Cer loved them for all their violence ), braggarts and thieves — young and doomed to fail. Doomed to be cut down by each other or their half-divine children or the monsters they created and abandoned at will. Thanatos knew he would see the end of them eventually.

But he enjoyed the Olympians, Thanatos could reap an endless crop of mortal souls under their rule. He could consume the slowed blood of those who died of old age or long sicknesses or in their sleep ( Hypnos disliked that, giving up the quieted souls in his realm to his twin brother to take to the River Styx, but Thanatos had his appointed time to claim as well ) without any troubles from them. There were even the few instances he could collect the demigods — the children of mortals seduced by gods — and taste their golden ichor, faint but enough to detect in their stilled red, and it pleased his darker side to taste the god’s blood.

However, the king of the Olympians — the child who had killed his father and saved his siblings to become the new generation of Gods and Goddesses — looked down on him. Zeus considered himself more powerful than any of his siblings, or Thanatos himself, who would come to claim him eventually if Cer didn’t. Thanatos wanted to exert his own will, he would decide who to claim and who to not, he was powerful enough to do so — he was owed this after all this endless time.

He didn’t want to pry the small slip of a soul of an infant boy from his sickly body, and Zeus made him mortal for it. Thanatos could laugh at the absurdity of it, to make Death mortal. Yet he was pulled from his silent corner of the Underworld with his brother, and was placed in a human body, susceptible to the ravages of death.

Yet Thanatos was patient, he would be there at the end of all of it. He was ageless and he would outlast any petty deity, he would claim them in the end. Thanatos saw the end of the Titans and he would see the end of the Olympians. He didn’t mind the morality, it was interesting to see what the humans lived each day, to see what they clung to so desperately. Zeus’ time would come to an end, and he would resume his rightful place.

h e a d c a n o n s —

He’s not all that excitable, has a resting... calm face? He just neutral constantly. Basically this emoji ‘ :| ’ come to life. Or he just looks disappointed in you.

He’s just trying to figure out human things. Like sex, sleeping or eating? They’re weird. He hates eating tbh, remembering to fuel his body is a chore for him.

Thanatos loves his siblings, far more than any of the Olympians or their offspring, although he likes the children of Aphrodite and Ares the best.

Hypnos / TBA

TBW

Cer / Olympia

She is his closest sibling, aside from his twin of course, and delivers the other side of the death that comes for every living thing — the violent kind. Sometimes he envies her for taking those who die with hot blood in their veins, he would like to taste a life blood not sluggish and slowed, but he knows he is her calm and Cer is his fury.

Asclepius / Makarios

Thanatos has to admit, he is impressed by Asclepius. He had hovered over the demigod on many occasions, yet never had a chance to claim him. Instead, this puny little child, not even fully divine, took souls back from him. Asclepius could prevent the soul from losing its connection to the earthly form and this ability, this stealing back of life from Thanatos’ greedy hands, made Death question his role which lead to Zeus casting him down.

Phobetor / TBA

TBW

Morpheus / TBA

TBW

Medusa / TBA

Medusa once called upon him to take her away from her wretched life but Thanatos found her soul still stubbornly clinging to her body. The violated woman wanted revenge more than a peaceful death, she wasn’t one to let go and give up. Thanatos admired her for that, and felt some measure of pride when she became a monster to defend herself from the evils that pursued her.

Nyx / TBA

TBW

Hades / Aidoneus

TBW

Nemesis / TBA

His younger sister, angry and sudden in her righteous wrath. Her implacable, and unavoidable, redistribution of justice — a balancing of scales to strike down hubris with her whip and dagger. The rush of her wings always made him smile. Others might call her a monster, but he called her something else: divine impartiality. Something sorely needed in this age of Olympians and their favoritism.

Enyo / Bellona

TBW

Eros / TBA
