Help out the people of Rio Grande do Sul!!

If you care about anything I've posted hear me out

You need to know what's going on in Rio Grande do Sul

They're going through an unprecented crisis due to immense flooding. THIS IS NOT A ROUTINE OR NORMAL THING TO HAPPEN THERE!

People's houses are literally floating away. Animals are drowning. People are getting terribly hurt and being left completely homeless out of the blue

One day they were living normal lives, the next the sudden flood either took everything away or left them stranded in what suddenly became an island surrounded by rubble-filled water

From what I've heard the Rios Grande do Sul state also suffered immense flooding last year and some were just now getting stable again after that, and in cane a flooding up to three times worse

The water is still going up. It is not stopping. The situation is getting worse

They're being left resource-less and incommunicated and from what I've heard this isn't even getting proper coverage within Brazil itself

Please listen to the actual Brazilians, I wanna help them out but I'm not Brazilian myself. Look up Rio Grande do Sul, see what's going on, see if you can donate to help them out

I'll provide some links to video coverage of the situation because

If you speak portuguese, thus video covers the current and last year's situation well as well as speaking on the lack of proper media coverage

Mauler Virs

An outside force has been attracted to Cyber activities recently. Something very malevolent and dangerous, but focused solely on retribution. They've destroyed most they came across, and infused what remains with malevolent energy. Corruption is a very strange phenomenon. Infusing Constructs with malevolent energy results in their appearance and purposes being warped in vile and alien ways, often turning the simplest of Constructs into deadly foes.

When a Sun Virs is corrupted, their bodies display little change at first, only showing horns coming from their top. When awakened, however, the corruption truly sets in as their routines activate, causing the malevolent energy to burst out of the shell like a dragon hatching from an egg.

This new form is known as a Mauler Virs. Due to the ejected mass, they are much more agile than their uncorrupted counterparts, and their arms are replaced with flexible blades of "Tenebrous Matter", which can be used for both mauling their enemies as well as grappling onto terrain to navigate.

However, due to the lack of traditional armaments, they lack a basic ranged attack. Mauler Virses make up for this in multiple ways; firstly, by being very fast. Secondly, they can create destructive shockwaves by stomping the ground. Lastly, should they be attacked in their exposed weakspot, they automatically retaliate by ejecting flares towards what hurt them.

Slumbering Mauler Virses are notorious for surprising Cyber forces, deceiving them into thinking they're a mere Sun Virs before erupting to life and subsequently thrashing the enemy Constructs.

Catastrophic [Nightmare]

All these December songs I listen to and then, look at those vintage painting prints by Raja Ravi Varma I got from NGMA, bring my heart at ease but at the same time, make my inner self feel like it's amidst a blizzard trying to yell, still it can't [music playing: Lord Huron - The Night We Met (1:42)]. Drapery veiling me and my vividly painted canvases [Painting: the roar of emotions], those drapes possessing the same vintage color palette as painting prints. And unexpectedly o'clock seemed to slow down (I could hear the tick-tick of the needle). It all commences to make no sense and futurity (tomorrow) seems catastrophic. Cold feet, no slippers, hands in pain, yet scripting it all on the doorway again sharing the same vintage color. Coincidences are queer. An unmoving room, calm lyrics playing yet conceptions/ thoughts sailing on the boat, not even reaching the shore, can't take a minute off the sail and enjoy the view. Can't stop caring as if the whole futurity depends on the nearing dawn-to-darks [thought: or what if it really does?]. Every now and then, the serene song of life doesn't really seem serene, all I hope for now is that "nightmares better not turn into reality". I can't get a second chance in real life to save he......

Emergency Preps for Everyday Uses:

An Emergency Kit (Bug-Out Bag) and supplies not only apply to catastrophic scenarios, but also prepares us for some day-to-day needs that require immediate attention. Prepping and emergency preparedness don't make sense to many outside the survival lifestyle. We all know how important our preps will be when SHTF, but outsiders just don't get it; they view our emergency kit and supplies sitting on a shelf, awaiting a disaster that will never come. Read on to find out how to use your emergency preps for practical, everyday use. Unemployment: With job security a thing of the past, any smart person will stock up in case they are no longer able to provide for their family. House Fire: It's important that everyone in your home is well-trained in emergency procedures. Preparing for disaster can be as simple as making a plan with your family on how to get out of the house in a dangerous situation. Minor Injuries: Staying stocked up on emergency first aid supplies and knowing about good home remedies is very important for everyday life. A full-fledged emergency first aid kit is key to your health and safety and will come in handy very often for minor injuries. Car Catastrophes: Keeping an emergency kit stocked up and prepared, away from home, is a good idea no matter where you are. Car Trouble: Cars break down. Tires go flat. Engines overheat. Belts break. You name it, it can go wrong when you're out on the open road. Keep the best car emergency kit in your vehicle. Natural Disasters: Disaster preparedness will be your ticket to making it through a disaster whether you need to shelter in place or evacuate. Evacuation: When everyone else is running to the store to grab the last minute things they need to secure their homes and hit the road, you'll be ready to roll and out of there before traffic slows you down. Unexpected House Guests: When you're a little stocked up, you can rest easy knowing you have bedding, food, and extra supplies to accommodate your surprise visitors. Don't forget to restock. Emergency Last Minute Food: We've all been in a pinch and needed to throw together some food at the last minute. If you have extra stock on hand, you won’t have to run to the store and waste valuable time. Don't forget to restock. Power Outage: At best, power outages are annoying. At worst, they can be downright scary. A little extra food and some basic emergency preparedness tools, such as a flashlight and some candles, will keep you much more comfortable. Maintains a State of Readiness: By regularly using our supplies, we are, in essence, practicing and preparing so that a "real" emergency will not panic us. We will know where to go, and what to do.

For 8000 years it has slumbered and now it writhes beneath the sand, awakening to gaze out onto the changed landscape and plan to return them to how they once were.

So about them Exies, huh? I guess these have stopped being exies. They're "Exors" now.

Some outside force has warped them into something much more violent. More volatile.

I think it would be really cool if Declan Lynch and Kaz Brekker met, and I got to watch from a safe viewing location.

There is some discussion going around about how the Gods don't support TERFs. That the Gods aren't political or are political. That some people use them to justify their bigotry.

Personally this is exactly why I hate the rhetoric that the Gods have unconditional love. That they don't hate anyone. That they don't judge. That they don't punish.

They do.

They are not impartial on all topics.

They have things that make them angry.

The idea that they wouldn't punish, or at least refuse to help, people that make them angry is nonsensical.

Certainly there are things that we simply can't know if the Gods support one position or the other, they are incomprehensible, but there are definitely things with do know— xenia being an example. This isn't strictly a Hellenic Polytheism issue either.

If you mistreat people Zeus Xenios isn't going to turn a blind eye. If you think people deserve homelessness Nanše will be infuriated. Aphroditos and Nanaya are fundamentally anti-TERF. Nanna is explicitly described as passing judgments on people. The Gods have created— in some cases embody— law & justice. Dike, Themis, Utu, so on. Why would they disregard that which they created?

I'm sick of people making the Gods cuddly comfort objects.

I like the DC x DP AUs where the Justice League and Amity Park (and Elmerton by proxy) never noticed each other due to an information blackout. I also find it neat when the idea's taken a step further.

For example, what if the government built Amity Park on insanely haunted land on purpose? Let's say, years ago, the whole LoA and Ra's Al Ghul situation made the U.S government curious about Lazarus water. They wished to find it's source in order to harvest it themselves.

The U.S preferred to avoid Lazarus pools that already existed to prevent conflict with the LoA. Instead, they decided to seek out the perfect location to "dig a well" of their own.

GIW scientists established that Lazarus water, a heavily condensed version of ectoplasm, was linked to ghosts and other ectoplasmic entities. They also observed that these entities are highly attracted to human populated areas.

This gave them the idea to settle a whole population of people on a liminal hotspot to lure ecto entities into the human realm. With the Anti Ecto Acts in place, the GIW were be free to capture ghosts and other creatures for their ectoplasm. The end goal was for the Fenton portal to be used as a well to harvest mass quantities of ectoplasm directly from the Infinite Realms.

How might this work for Amity Park and it's place in the world?

The information blackout is heavier outside the Amity-Elmerton territory than inside. Amity residents are only cut off from info that could threaten the government project (EX: the existence of real life superheroes, the Meta Protection Acts, certain major events, etc.).

All devices that enter the Amity-Elmerton territory are unable to send or receive video/pics of the above "blocked" topics. In fact, it's difficult for social media users within that territory to connect with any posts or profiles from outside unless they look hard enough.

Amity residents are still allowed to travel, but airline ticket prices are jacked ridiculously high, especially for specific destinations (i.e: common superhero locations) to deter those residents from going there. GPS devices and maps bought in Amity or Elmerton are also set to misdirect users away from these same locations if they opt for a road trip.

Most Amity-Elmerton residents hardly bother leaving at all since there's a hefty fee for crossing beyond a set perimeter. They've all been lead to believe this is a normal part of traveling in the Midwest.

To everyone outside the Amity-Elmerton area, that area is virtually non-existent. It's not listed on any map, globe, or basically any public geolocation tool outside those provided in Amity (not even Google Maps). The only hints of it existing are in certain forms of documentation, such as birth certificates and tax forms. Even then, these people are hard to come by.

At most, Amity Park is a little known myth where people occasionally debate on it's existence.

In general, the government limiting Amity-Elmerton residents access to outside info while giving them just enough to stave off suspicion.
