I'm so broken-hearted and sad. My lovebird for about a year now got escaped and I just hope that he's doing okay and can survive on his own. I'll miss you Wobbly 😭
My life rn wouldn't be complete without you...

The fact that someone in 2024 can say "a person is bad because the blood from another race mixed with theirs and made them bad" without any shred or irony or self awareness is ghastly.
Probably comes from the idea that they are "good people," so they can't say racist shit or be racist because racism is bad and they are good people.
Which leads to shit like Shandale and multiple other people repeatedly saying shit like "The Nabateans as a race are ontologically evil and deserve the genocide that happened to them and the humans who genocided them were the good guys." "The Nabateans need to have their rights stripped away from them and live as second-class citizens to atone for what other Nabateans did." "The Nabateans are so savage and violent and evil that having their blood mixed with yours makes you evil like them." The Nabateans are evil, so they deserve to be erased. They deserve to be oppressed. They deserve to be killed. All of them. Even the children. No exceptions.
But they're not a "real" race so it's fine to advocate for their genocide. It's fine to cheer on their genociders and wish they were "properly" portrayed as the good guys they clearly are. It's fine to say "only humans should rule over humans" as if that isn't an ear-bleedingly loud dog-whistle for racial supremacy. Shandale is a good person so Shandale can't say Bad Person things, of course.
And the worst part is that Shandale knows what they're saying sounds bad. They fucking hate it whenever anyone with enough nuts in that cesspit of a discord directly tells them "hey yo this is some racist ass shit you're spewing out, can you like, stop?" They and the people who agree with them pull the "YOU'RE pulling the real world into this, and THAT'S so distasteful and bad!!" because Shandale knows that they only have that cover to hide behind. Shandale isn't saying what they're saying because they aren't aware of what they're saying or don't know why what they're saying is bad, they're saying what they're saying because they found the race they can scapegoat into getting away with saying this.
They all very clearly desperately want to say this shit. They will all go on for hours upon hours at a time vehemently going to bat for this hateful rhetoric, to the point that they will quite literally make shit up about what the Nabateans have done to make them evil. They owned slaves! They destroyed culture! They were tyrants! All of them! Genuinely every single one of them! All that shit is the CORNERSTONE to Shandale and their buddies' rhetoric, and they fucking made it up! It makes you wonder why they're so desperate for this clearly untrue thing to be true, and none of the answers to that question do them any favors to put it kindly.
And everyone in that server with the means to kick Shandale and all the other people who are clearly fucking racist and are using Nabateans as a scapegoat to vent their clearly fucking racist views would rather DM me to tell me ~oh so kindly~ that I should stop airing their moldy tattered laundry (in exchange for the mods following their rules of their server that they've been ignoring for fucking years) than do fucking ANYTHING about the mod that is peddling the racism. Shandale and their buddies don't need any shred of awareness - or more accurately, any shred of acknowledgement - because they know the second they bare their asses to the world the other mods will fucking scramble to cover for them. It's all beyond pathetic and disgusting

tell me a story
send ‘ tell me a story ‘ for me to create an oc right on the spot.
Nicholas Levitt
35 Years Old, IT Solutions Engineer
Nicholas grew up in the shadow of Tampa, his father a professor at University of Tampa and his mother a event coordinator for the Convention Center. From a young age, Nicholas loved computers, and even went to Hillsborough Community College for dual enrollment his senior year of High School.
Nicholas was one of those stereotypically bullied fat nerds in high school, and despite the stress caused by his bullies, he was still always kind to everyone.
It wasn't until his 17th birthday when he realized something strange was happening to him.
He woke up on the wrong side of town, literally, waking up in a back alley behind a club called "The Honey Pot" (where he had been wishing the night before to go for his 18th birthday). The good news for him was there was a man a little older than himself who had found him and explained what was happening to him. He was special, an evolutionary human being. And he had super powers.
The man, Raymond (Nicholas calls him 'Ray Ray' for short), was the leader of a group of people like them, who lived safely among the regular humans and stayed off the radar of a secret paramilitary organization called Ultra. Raymond warned Nicholas to ignore any feeling of Wanderlust, as he believed it was a trap set by the main Ultra headquarters to lead him to New York City. Nicholas learned how to manage a resistance to the 'call' and became a part of Raymond's group while finishing out high school, and even starting college with Raymond's financial support.
He went on to get a perfectly 'normal' job in IT Distribution and moved to the Saint Petersburg area for his work, and to be Raymond's eyes in Pinellas County.
Raymond, who was unable to get to Casimiro in 1999, asked Nicholas to keep an eye out for Clarissa Tellemanca and her potential breakout (they both knew it was coming, Raymond had been hired by her parents to find Casimiro-- Raymond never told them he was in New York, clearly he was safer in Ultra's den than with those people).
Nicholas witnessed Clari's breakout at the softball game in 2004 after a few nights of psionic signatures being tracked, but clearly was not as disgusting as to follow her into her locker room as Ultra was, which led to her being terrified and fleeing. He missed catching her on the way out and by the time he got to her childhood home, she had taken off. He personally knocked the Ultra agent out from behind and deposited him on the Southern Ultra's front step as a warning.

hopefully their relation will get more friendly and positive in the long run
I'm sure it will...
I mean he warmed up to Aqua despite his bad memories with another Aquamarine. I'm sure with time things'll smooth over with them and they can have some sort of sibling relationship or something like that.
the way I see it... it'd probably be slightly faster if Spinel and the other two Stevens interact to show Gem Steven she's not a threat to his siblings.

Maybe I’m being chicken little about this but I think this is really bad. Bud Light engages in a little bit of rainbow capitalism and their sales drop by 23% and they get dethroned as the number one selling beer and have to do a huge buyback campaign, buying back unsold cases from distributors costing them even more money. It makes me very concerned that between that and target, next year we’re gonna be seeing virtually no major support of pride month. I mean, it’s not like these companies could still support pride by just excluding trans people because they would be crucified for it. Rightly so. Therefore, my theory is that they will just all remain completely silent about the gay community next year unless things change. Unfortunately, I fear things will only get worse. 
Stay safe out there.
