Thor Freya we've taken over more territory because this guy than ever in history and that means a lot our son and daughter are doing great they have a huge plan people are all getting on board this is going to rock. Right now we have giant tracks of land that we're taking half of it is in the Midwest no it's 70% in the middle areas but we already have 80% of the area now are acquiring about 10% more but on it all these factories and you're just leaving your jobs like to nothing on the owner perimeter we're taking factories over as well and we're using Force and we are surrounding them and we have to take them over and their hours now it's a lot of factories okay we're up to 4300% again because of this cockamady plan and we are Manning the factories in the Midwest and people try and get there and die and we are also increasing production not decreasing and we have tons of robots we took from Trump we don't have time to make them and these are great for manufacturing and they're not adequate for combat these are real sissy robots okay our son has robots they're just so powerful and can go for so long did a few all these robots were in a room with no arms or even Small arms they could do nothing against one robot and I'm talking about a trillion robots it'll take a few days no I take weeks but the one robot of ours would destroy yours that's the difference in caliber and a centurion's and yours suck we can rip that thing apart by hand.

We thought people would be more concerned and they don't do enough now we have to just take it all with this 10% we will have about 90% of the middle areas and people start panicking and they will leave.

We need all the factories and we need them in they will start producing regular products too I'm sending them out too tons of them and we have to it's a good idea to and we're going to start doing it fairly soon as in this week we have a timetable and we need all our people in right now we do have to have a special meeting and discussion on what's going on here he needs better protection against these ignorant slobs and we will go over why I thank you all and this is awesome and yeah we're going to have some car plants up that he wants firebird Pontiac we're trying to revive a couple plants and put something else in and it was not wanted but we're doing it anyways and we're not making Pontiacs and we might be and this is a fun part we find a bunch of them they're not new they stop making them in 2010 and we're refurbishing them and they think they're new

Haven't done this in a while but I had the time so why not?

1.- Pizza Girl by Kyoung Jean Frazier

🌟🌟🌟🌟

I really did like it, reminded me a lot of "Convinience store woman". Like clearly our protagonist needed thrapy ASAP to help her deal with her dad's death, her pregnancy, her attraction to women and hell just for existing as an Asian woman in the USA, but I liked how messy and obsesive she was and how the author allowed her to be fucked up and take bad decisions, I love to see female characters simply exist, it's also a pretty short read so I definitely recommend it.

2.-The Authentics by Abdi Nazemian

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Daría is a persian teen who is really involved in her cultural background and feels that the most important thing one can be is authentic, so that's the name she and her friends take for their clique. But everything comes crashing down on her when she discovers she is adopted, and soon follows an identity crisis. I loved it so much, it felt pretty realistic, like Daría could be self absorbed and unlikeable at times, but who wasn't as a teen? And we get such beautiful heartwarming moments between Daría and her family and friends. Totally recommend it.

3.- The Mall by Megan McCafferty

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Cassie has her life completely mapped out but nothing goes quite as planned, first she gets mononucleosis and after she gets better gets dumped and fired almost simultaneously. Determined not to let it get the best of her, Cassie gets a brand new job, reconnects with an old friend and even finds a hidden treasure. This one is so much fun, all the 90s references and the growth Cassie goes through is amazing, honeslty i would love to see this as a Netflix movie.

4.- Luster by Raven Leilani

🌟🌟🌟🌟

This book was hard, Edie is a very raw character, at first she seems flippant even when describing disturbing facts about her past or details about her relationship with a much older man she seems to be talking about something that happened to someone else all this to cope dealing with her solitude, her trauma, her self hate. And gosh it was so intresting to see her interact with Rebecca and Akila, especially Akila as Edie finds kinship in this young girl not only cuz they are both black but because they are both lost and afraid.

5.- Lakewood by Megan Giddings

🌟🌟🌟

Lena decides to participate on a financially compensated medical experiment so her mom can get proper medical care and to lessen their debts after her Grandmother's death.

So I had many mixed feelings about this, on one hand I liked that we are adressing how sistematical racism has permited experiments on black people with no consequences at all and how it has been happening for decades, but there were certain parts of the book that I couldn't enjoy as much because they were very trippy like I get we are on Lena's mind as things are becoming muddled up because of the medications and all those mind games and the words they have her memorize and repeat but all of it took me a bit away from the story. Still I do recommend it just be aware there is quite a bit of body horror in this so if you are sqeamish better skip it.

6.-The Voting Booth - Brandy Colbert

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Marva and Duke meet on election day as she helps him find the precint he is registered on.

This is very enjoyable, the story is very straightforward, and it insists on our right and responsability to vote even if we feel our vote alone can't possibly change all the injustice we see in the world. And also the romance was cute and developed slowly as Marva and Duke are just knowing each other. Really cute and quick read.

7.- Such a fun age - Kiley Reid

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Emira works as a babysitter for the Chamberleins' . She loves her little charge Briar, although she feels preassured to seek a 'real job' by her friends and by her own economic troubles. Emira soon finds herself in the middle of a tug of war between her boss Alix who tries to befriend her, and Kelley the guy she is dating.

So much drama. This is a great example of what performative activism looks like, first Alix is completely nuts, from her obsession to be seen as this wonderful understanding girl boss activist and the down right creepy sense of entitlement to Emira's friendship and intimacy. Like it doesn't surprise me she chose to victimize herself instead of recognizing it had all been a misunderstanding. And even then she still wants to seem atractive to the man she feels victimized by. Girl no.

Kelley is the ultimate fake woke ally. Dude Robbie was wrong period, he had no business inviting people over to someone else's house no matter the color of his skin. You don't get to talk over Emira on matters of what a person of color should do or feel on certain situations. That said it was so funny when he and Alix called each other out for their fetishization of people of color and yet none of them actually gave a damn about what Emira thought/felt/percieved. They just wanted her stamp of approval so they could pat themselves in the back for being such good allies.

8.- The Life and (Medieval) times of Kit Sweetly by Jamie Pacton

🌟🌟

Kit is working as a serving wench at the Castle, medieval themed restaurant run by her uncle, though she really wants to be a Knight, not only cuz the better pay would help around the house but because she really admires Joan of Arc, problem is the Castle management doesn't allow for anyone who is not a cis male to be a knight. Kit is set on changing that.

Ok so I feel a bit lukewarm toward this. Kit in my opinion doesn't get much growth, it seems she just can do whatever and her friends have to be ok w it, her romance w her friend feels pulled out of nowhere like Jett at one point tells her he is not intrested in dating her and then he is ???, those GoT references killed me, I get it I watched the show and sometimes even enjoyed it but it's not representative of anything medieval and Kit was always talking about how much she liked the actual history of the medieval times so...

Also as much as this book was about feminism and how we should fight for equal job oportunities, it feels as though Kit only cared about medieval woman who fought physically and not on the badass medieval woman, like idk it feels as a rejection of tradicional feminity like even the girl playing the Princess is a jerk. But I did like some parts, like her decision to confront her asshole dad to help her mom and the girls training together.

9.-Cien años de soledad de Gabriel Garcia Marquez

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

En Macondo, una población Colombiana a un lado del río, vemos como una de sus familias fundadoras crece, se expande y cambia a través de cien años.

Me encanto, hace mucho tiempo que no leía una novela de realismo mágico que me provocará tantos sentimientos. Creo que todos los personajes reflejan aspectos de la humanidad tan diversos y complejos que sería inútil tratar de enlistarlos todos.

Ultimadamente siento que lo que condenó a la familia Buendia a cumplir las profecías de Melquiades fue sus propia naturaleza que ellos nunca tuvieron intención de pelear, siempre sucumbian a las locuras o pasiones que los inundarán sin mesura alguna o consideración por las consecuencias. Y creo que aún así lo prefiero pues es lo que hace a cada personaje por confuso que a veces llegue a ser la repetición de nombres (que para mi es el simbolismo de una naturaleza y destino continuos) único e intrigante. En verdad espero que se den la oportunidad de leer este libro por lo menos una vez en sus vidas.

10.-The Monsters of music by Rebecca F. Kenney

🌟🌟🌟

This is a gender-swaped modern retelling of the Phantom of the Opera.

It was creative to make Mel, our Phantom, a true magical creature, and the singing contest was also cool. Like don't get me wrong I did have fun reading this but it also felt pretty unpolished like most characters were teens on the contest and that kinda made me roll my eyes a bit, like unless it's the Voice Kids age ranges are quite ample on this kind of shows, also kinda clumsy the addition of the magical elements with the modern setting, Kiyo didn't make much of an impression with me even when Christine is my fave on the original book. Still if you are a Phan like me you might wanna check this one out.

11.- Anna K by Jenny Lee

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is a modern americanized ya retelling of Anna Karenina.

Not gonna lie this made me cry so much at the end. I really liked Anna and Vronski together so much, and I don't like the love at first sight trope, but here it felt so inevitable. Anna was so self contained until she met him and could truly explore being herself and they really loved each other so much. Also I liked the treatment of the side characters Kimmie and Dustin were well developed and I really enjoyed this one can't wait to get to the second book.

12.- Wonderland by Zoje Stage

🌟🌟🌟

It was ok, but I was actually a bit disappointed cuz I had such high expectations for it. Like for about half the book I was really into the atmospheric vibe the book pulls you into, but as we get the reveal it started to go down hill for me, and the ending left me feeling meh. But maybe it was just not my cup of tea.

13.-Home Before Dark by Riley Sager

🌟🌟🌟🌟

This book is so well crafted!!! I love how it goes back and forth between past and present , first it feels as if history is repeating itself, then as both narratives unfold we start to question and discovering things and the twist at the end was chillin and masterful, I truly and wholeheartedly recommend it.

14.- The Girl with the louding voice by Abi Daré

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Adunni, a teenage girl, flees from her husband to work as a maid in Lagos, though everything she has ever wanted is to study.

This broke my heart, as it reflects how people coming from rural backgrounds get taken advantage of in the City, like similar things happen here in Mexico, but also it made me glad to see Adunni fight and keep her spirit so no one could ever silence her.

15.- The Year of the Witching by Alexis Henderson

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Immanuel does her very best to fit in Bethel, follow the scriptures and the Prophets words, but nothing seems to be enough to erase her mother's sin especially when the Darkwood seems to pull her in. As a plague starts to ravage Bethel, Immanuel has to face her past to save her people.

So frickin' good !!!! This story is great, mainly about the explotation of woman and young girls by people in power (in this case a church), the atmosphere is always tense, Ezra and Immanuel 's relationship is very well developed and one can really see how loyal they are to each other. A great option for horror fans.

So just out of curiosity, what inspired the whole Beacon Bay idea? What kind of sharks and dolphins are they? This entire thing is very intriguing to me and I can't wait to see more.

So first off, anyone who’s ever played soundingboard to my original stuff like Moukie or Adam can attest to the fact that I’m ocean obsessed, so there’s pretty much nothing I’m interested in that isn’t a mere two or three steps removed from an ocean/merfolk/sea witch AU in my head. Gimme anything and like, five minutes, and I can make it ocean themed. Space operas included. I grew up near the ocean, been surfing for ages though of course I haven’t in years, blah, but like. I’m a big fan of the deep blue sea. Its just....neat. ghaskfhalkfhla

So I’ve always had a bunch of ocean-set concepts. This particular AU came about from like, smashing a couple of them together to preserve them when my plans for doing original stuff with them fizzled out, at least for the time being. Cuz the other thing about me is the way some people like, take their fanfic and file off the serial numbers to turn it into original novels, I more often do the reverse, lmao. When I have something I can no longer do something with original-content-wise, for whatever reason, but I still like the idea, I turn it into fanfic so I can still play around with it whenever I want and like, have purpose to that, so I don’t feel like I’m wasting time by still ‘indulging’ in that concept or whatever.

Like my Batfandom fic By Lost Ways, as I’ve mentioned before....that actually started out as an original high fantasy novel set in my ‘Tales of the Citadel’ shared universe. BUT the setting ended up being similar enough to a sci-fi project I wanted I to move forward with, ‘Waveriders’ (the one with the sky pirates and the ATLA-style benders only instead of evoking the four classical elements, waveriders could each ‘hack’ a different kind of wavelength, that one) like....basically, the projects FELT similar enough in setting and various superficial elements that I started to feel derivative of myself moving forward with both, so I picked Waveriders and then recycled the setting and a lot of the plot of the sky-set fantasy novel for fanfic, just for fun.

Same thing here, though Beacon Bay is basically the mash-up of two different shelved original projects. Basically, its the plot of a CW-style show about teen sirens and the sea witch making like the Fagin to their Oliver Twists, from a pilot I wrote years ago.....it got some interest but I refused to make it less gay because lol have you met me, so it ultimately never went anywhere but I still liked the plot.

And then remember the werewolf books I mentioned awhile back, that had the mongoose shifters in them? LOL. Yeah, so I’d written two and a half novels in that series and had this whole expansive worldbuilding of twelve different shifter clans each with their own innate magic, patron deity/creator, etc, but all my agent and editor contacts at the time were like yeah sorry, shifters are over for now, and I was like wow, can’t believe cancel culture’s real and publishing cancelled werewolves, wtf, rude, and then I was like eh, still wanna play in this universe especially with the dolphins and shark shifters which I never even really got to in those books, so I’m just gonna air-lift them out of that and drop them smack in the middle of my CW siren plot and fanfic away to my heart’s content and call that ‘being productive’ when I feel like it.

Anyway, found family was a big theme of those books and the world-building I did there in general, because again, have you met me, I’m not predictable or anything (shhh, the word is consistent), and one of my initial things there was I wanted the various shifter types to all have innate magic, because for literally no real reason that I can discern other than Whimsy, I have always been Team Werewolf in vampires vs werewolves, and I was tired of werewolves always being by default the underdogs in those narratives. Even if that does make for a good pun.

SO, I wanted to come up with werewolf magic that felt natural and organic to werewolves, like nothing too flashy or obscure, but that would make them a legitimate threat even to other supernatural creatures. And I made it so each of the shifter types were granted an active and a passive magic by the god that created their type of shifter, and with werewolves, their active magic was that of the pack gestalt. I took the idea of ‘their whole is greater than the sum of their parts’ that TW kinda briefly touched on when presenting (but never really doing much with) the idea that the more wolves in a pack, the stronger that pack was.....and I decided okay what if being part of a pack upped stats all across the board AND all shifters have a SLIGHT innate resistance to magic, being innately magical beings themselves?

So a werewolf pack, with enough pack members, would thus not only be formidable in strength, speed, senses and speed of healing....but compound that innate shifter resistance to magic, which in a single shifter is negligible, like, just enough to make them slightly harder to track with magic or curse or whatever.....but in a whole werewolf pack, that adds up to make the pack effectively immune to foreign magic. Vampires can’t compel them, demons can’t possess them, witches can’t curse them, etc. So a lone werewolf, not part of a pack, is formidable, but nothing another supernatural being can’t take on. But a lone werewolf who IS part of a pack....different story entirely, because now most other supernatural beings, no matter what their USUAL strengths, are reduced to taking on that werewolf hand to hand, as their own supernatural gifts or spells or whatever, like, aren’t gonna do them any good against these particular foes. And werewolves are USED to fighting with just brute physical strength and attributes, which gives them the edge against opponents who are more used to being able to fall back on magic in battle.

But as much as I like sticking to a theme, I like to diversify that theme where possible, so when it came to the other shifter types, I wanted to similarly come up with ways where ‘the whole would be greater than the sum of their parts’ but in like, entirely different ways.

So with dolphin shifters, their ‘passive magic’ (in quotes cuz that’s not quite the right word for it but whatever) is that they’re all empaths, with their more active magic being weather manipulation. Their empathy is a two-way street....they project emotions as well as just feel other peoples’, which ties into the fact that their patron deity was Dionysus. Dolphin parties....legendary. But in an extremely wild, dangerous and Bacchanalian kinda way. In terms of Beacon Bay specifically, this is a bit of a problem for the BB dolphins, as the closest thing they had to an official Triton (the dolphin shifter version of an Alpha) was Peter, but they were like nope, not loving this guy, and kinda drove him out of town in the AU S1 backstory of this ‘verse, which means Scott and the others are kinda just making it up as they go along, and don’t really know the ins and outs of BEING dolphin shifters. (Derek is....elsewhere, in this. Mostly).

So bottom line is they have reputations around school for being loud obnoxious goofs and trouble-makers, constantly playing hooky and such, but its because they don’t really know HOW to safeguard against spilling their emotions onto everyone around them so they try and err on the side of being the life of the party whenever possible, as that’s better than the alternatives in their opinion. And when they’re just having bad days and bumming hard, the whole pod will just skip school and glomp around the bumming pod member whilst self-caring, rather than like, accidentally bum out the entire school.

But their weather manipulation magic is where the gestalt idea comes into play with them, as I love weather manipulating powers, but I didn’t want to make them all Ororo Munroe, y’know? Only Ororo Munroe can be Ororo Munroe. Don’t make me scoff. I’ll do it. I’ll scoff so hard. SO I went with the idea of weather control married to manipulating storms via song and was like, okay what if a dolphin pod is like, a symphony of shifters.

Basically, its like each individual dolphin shifter is a single voice in a chorus, and there’s magical equivalents of being a baritone, an alto, etc. Like, none of them can whip up a storm on their own. Its more that each of them can summon or conjure a PIECE of a storm with their song, with it being different for each of them....symptomatic of their magic as an expression of them as an individual. So for instance, Scott’s song is ‘tuned’ to lightning. He can call down a bolt of lightning from a clear blue sky.....but he can’t summon so much as a drop of rain to save his life. Literally. Its an actual plot point at one point. Whereas Isaac’s song is all about calling down rain, Boyd’s is more of an arctic wind, and Erica’s kinda summons a pressure front that in harmony with the two of theirs can whip up a mean waterspout. And then Corey’s all about conjuring fog banks with low visibility while Liam can whistle up a strong, gale-force wind but sucks at using his song as a precision instrument. Etc, etc. But the real magic is when they all use their voices and magic in concert....as a group, they can summon huge magical thunderstorms.

Also, one thing I love about using different kinds of shifters is the opportunity to explore enhanced supernatural senses that aren’t just keen sight, smell or hearing. So the dolphin shifters aren’t like wolf shifters in being able to detect chemosignals or anything like that....in fact, their sense of smell isn’t much different from anyone else’s. But they do have an ability to use what’s effectively supernatural echolocation even above water, and their sight is adapted for optimal viewing underwater, making them particularly good at seeing in the darkness even on land.

(Also, related but somewhat tangential to both the shifter senses and dolphin ‘voices’....all dolphin shifters have a strong talent for mimicry, but this isn’t technically a form of magic, more just a combination of their control over their voice and their keen senses of pitch, etc).

The shark shifters, on the other hand, have some of the keenest senses of all shifters. Not only is their sense of smell even better than a werewolf’s, they’re sensitive to changes in pressure, for one thing. Which means on land, they can even feel changes in atmospheric pressure.....so like, the shark shifters of Beacon Bay could be in math class and then ‘feel’ a sudden drop in air pressure and thus even before some strange weather phenomenon occurs, they’re groaning like ugh fucking A, what the hell did the damn dolphins do now.

Also, their magnetic field perception is such that they can kinda ‘sense’ when people are around, just by being aware of the approaching magnetic field of another living being.

And then with the sharks, I was looking for ways to lean into the associations we have with sharks and blood, but subvert them to be less macabre and more communal. And another big theme of mine in general is like, I am DETERMINED to go to my grave shouting at the top of my lungs “Its THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT IS THICKER THAN THE WATER OF THE WOMB, NOT BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER, HOW DID PEOPLE GET THAT SO BACKWARDS ITS SUPPOSED TO BE THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF HOW ITS USUALLY STATED!”

Like, that’s just...HUGE pet peeve of mine. Its like nails on a chalkboard, lmfao, that drives me nuts. That phrase is usually cited by people using it to express like, the idea that there’s no greater force than family, specifically BIOLOGICAL, ‘blood’ relations, but its literally meant to be the exact opposite, that the blood of CHOSEN bonds, of covenants, of vows or promises, is a greater force than the water of the womb, ie being born of the same womb, as in biological siblings. The entire point of the phrase is biology ain’t shit, family is what we choose. And somehow it got turned ENTIRELY around.

(Note: Okay, so for the record, its not ‘somehow’, there’s actually a very clear reason for why that particular interpretation gained so much momentum, and that’s because for a long time it was conflated with an old German proverb from like a thousand years ago that basically translates to “kin-blood is not spoiled by water.” Which basically was meant to mean that nothing can ‘dilute’ blood relations, not time, not distance, not water. So that phrase DOES correspond to the idea that ‘blood is thicker than water.’ Problem is, there isn’t a direct trace from that particular proverb TO most USAGES of ‘blood is thicker than water,’ which when you throw in the OTHER phrase, which in its entirety is “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb,” what you end up with is a lot of people SAYING that one when they actually MEAN to say ‘kin-blood is not spoiled by water’ and that’s where the meanings get switched. But I fucking digress. Per usual).

Anyway. So combine that particular pet peeve with my found family fixation AND the fact that this is about magic and magic means I can do whatever the hell I want, fuck your biological connections mwahahaha.....I decided to base shark magic on the idea of the blood-ties of family....but CHOSEN blood-ties, as in blood of the covenant ties.

What I mean is okay, so it first of all just made sense to me to have shark shifter communities be heavily focused around adoption, because like....let’s be real, shark shifters going around biting people to change them into shifters, and then people magically healing from....shark bites....was going to attract a lot more attention than people turning after being attacked by other types of shifters. Not to mention the fact that not only are shark attacks always big news, part of why they’re big news is because they’re actually pretty rare.

So, shark shifter communities were never really gonna propagate via lots of random shark shifter attacks turning people. So the way they DO expand and grow is by, well, family. Both biological AND adoption...as well as of course shark shifter communities taking in people who ARE attacked by rogue shark shifters, when that does happen.

But bottom line is, there’s an additional element in play in shark shifter communities, beyond just the gene pool....and that’s like, a magical tidepool of talents, let’s call it. Because I do love me some alliteration. But also tidepool of talents is just a cool phrase, IMO.

Anyway, the main part of shark shifter magic, and how THEIR whole is greater than the sum of their parts, is that any shark shifter can draw upon or channel the talents, skillsets or knowledge of anyone else in their communal family. And whenever that family gets added to, the talents, skillsets and knowledge of the new addition gets added to the pot, so to speak. So shark shifters are kinda all like Rogue, if Rogue’s focus was less on the superpowers of other people and more on things like Beast’s scientific knowledge, Cyclops’ strategic skills or Cable’s weapons expertise.

And then their ‘passive magic’ is a form of psychometry whenever they come into contact with blood. By touching even just a drop of someone’s blood, they can get a vision of how that blood was spilled or even get a sense of where the person who spilled it is now.

As to the types of sharks and dolphins they all are, for that I went with the thing about the shape you take reflects the person you are.....all the shifters here are full shifters, and there’s no genetic component to their shifting, its purely magical, so like....just because Peter turned the various dolphins of BB doesn’t mean they all turn into the same kind of dolphin he was. In fact, I don’t even know what kind of dolphin he was on account of I don’t really care tbh, lol. Whereas Erica’s an Atlantic spotted dolphin, Liam’s a pygmy killer whale which looks like an orca just tiny in comparison and is actually a dolphin, and I found that combination of factors hilarious, etc, etc.

Same thing with the shark shifters. Even among biological relations, there’s a ton of variety of shark types. Like the twins aren’t even the same type...Ethan’s a blue shark and Aiden’s a bull shark, Tracy’s a tiger shark and Hayden’s an angel shark. Danny’s actually a throwback to an unnamed prehistoric shark, not Megalodon big but big enough to shut up Jackson when he goes on about being a great white shark. Shark and crocodile shifters are the two oldest shifter clans, old enough that literal dinosaurs fall under the umbrella of their shifter type, and thus occasionally show up even in modern generations.

Character Creation

I really wanted to talk about this yesterday but I was at work so all I had time for was short posts.

I woke up yesterday thinking about alien worlds. Well actually I woke up thinking about rape but on a more positive note I also thought about character creation for my story. My head is always in this negative place because there's just so much that needs to be done and it's like all I want to think about, solutions to problems. But there's no sense in overwhelming yourself with negativity... it makes one bitter after a time... so I spent the whole day avoiding negative thoughts yesterday since I stay steeped in them normally. I need that break during this time. It's Christmas Eve! I spent the last 7-8 years being extremely pessimistic about Christmas. My family ruined it for me. Now I'm trying to get that feeling back with a new baby on the way. Tradition is food for community and soul. We need it. Without it I feel so disconnected from my Society.

I remember watching this documentary but I don't remember the name of it of course cuz that's usually how it goes for me. But it was about constructing an alien world and all the different animals that would come out of it.

Oh I remember what prompted the thought now. I was thinking about chimeras. I was also thinking about the time that I saw the vision of a dragon in a church on Easter Sunday.. It felt real. I don't know if you've ever heard the songs "the shape" from Slipknot or "shape of you" from Ed Sheeran? Well that's how I would describe this dragon it was a shape or a silhouette of a dragon.

Other people were moving with its movement. Perhaps they saw something else like Jesus or God or an angel. But I saw a dragon. It reminded me of religion and how people see divinity and spiritual connectivity. They say something in their head and then immediately think that's it. If I was not an agnostic atheist, a dragon would be my God and we would still be worshiping the same God. I love it too because a dragon is a made-up creature, fitting.

The metaphor of the chimera aligns with pantheism or Hinduism too, other ideas I feel among life. I think all of these ideas are really intertwined and we always think that only one person has the answer to it and that only one religion exactly describes what God is. If God is something that complex it would take a whole world to describe it. It's something we reflect out of this world.

But what if dragons really existed? What if we are imagining a real creature? They may not exist on planet Earth but what if something just like it evolved on another planet? This is inspiring and it reminds me that I need to also come up with an ecology on these planets. I know I can't do this alone. I have a close group of friends who live for stories and we just started a writers workshop. I can't wait until the next one. I want the mental space to be able to brainstorm these characters and a writers workshop would be perfect!

I have four main characters so far. The first one is inspired by myself and one of my favorite anime characters, Lucy. Her name is Genivia. These creatures are not human. I want them to look a little more human-like so that people can relate to them but I also want them to have an alien vibe. I'm even okay with sticking to the fantasy plane. I love elves very much. All of my characters on my utopian planet, Oauvyss, are going to be elf-like. All of the characters on Avera, my hell planet, will be more human-like but I still want them to have alien features. I might give some of them horns. I've given all the plants poisonous and spiny features because all the plants have turned on their greedy animals. The people on avera can no longer harvest plants they have to live off of a kind of algae that they created in a lab. Oh I can't wait to continue working on this story. I need the mental space. For now this blog spot is a great place to meditate on these ideas at least.

The next character I created was inspired solely by link. His name is Orin which of course is inspired by The NeverEnding story. I blame link for leading me to my husband among several other forces in the world. Fantasizing about link with my ex-husband in hindsight feels like I was fantasizing about my future husband. 😂 I feel like I'm with Orin. Ryan is Orin in my world. He's my hero. 🖤🖤🖤 Orin is also becomes Genivia's lover later in the story after a war plays out between my two other main characters.

Abella was inspired by a Zelda character too. She owns a cute shop like Agitha too. Before Genivia reaches Oauvyss, neither Orin nor Abella have any knowledge of her existence so a little friendship romance starts between them. Of course when Genivia gets there she breaks it up when Orin sees all of the signs that identify her as his star-crossed love. Abella gets severely jealous and protective of Orin after that. Genivia came to Oauvyss by escaping Avera. When she arrived the demons followed her and are now manifesting in the people on this planet starting with a Abella. So in Abella's blind fear, she blames the demons on Genivia and considers them hers. But how did that happen? How did Genivia get there?

Well Genivia has a half-brother who is a chemist and is also born on Avera. He was inspired by this character, Ike. He was also inspired by my step brother, Brandon. This is a lot what Brandon looked like. I named him Jorath. Well actually that was the name that my husband came up with and I liked it so much that I kept it. Jorath's is a physics major and a chemistry nerd. He's also a bit mischievous. In my story Genivia's soul represents the Queen of the universe so her soul is pure. Joris is only her half-brother and is only a half pure soul. He will face some trials.

Genivia was stolen by the main demon inspired by Satan whom I named S'var and he forced her to be born on Avera. He wanted her to be destroyed along with the planet that he was destroying...err...well her father was destroying (one in the same). Her father is the King of Avera. He owns the entire planet including the people and resources. Jorath is born of a different mother, the King's mistress. He is considered a bastard son to the hierarchy and Genivia is considered the heir to the throne. Jorath and his father get in a major fight one day and the father threatens to rape Genivia so that she could bear a "son worth carrying the throne." After this fight Jorath escapes into the woods and disappears for a time where he thinks for a while. Eventually he comes back by sneaking Genivia out of her room and stealing a dimensional travel contraption that was invented by a team on Avera that nobody ever successfully got to work. Jorath had an epiphany and figured out how to get it to work. He stole Genivia and took her with him while trying to escape Avera and save them from their father.

Genivia successfully leave the planet in travels to another planet and she happens to land on her destined planet she was supposed to be born on. She also transforms from human to elf in order to be adapted to this planet. Jorath, however, gets stuck between dimensions and becomes a ghost. His soul was too heavy to pass through all the way. He is now stuck in an interdimensional realm that is chaotic and manic and full of color; a stark difference from where he was. When he gets here he meets a new character.

Baedra was inspired by many different things. One was a dragon one of my friends envisioned. He said that the ceiling fan above him turned into this colorful dragon and began to describe it. I tried to deliver the face that I could see as well as I could from his description plus my own interpretation of it. This dragon will have characteristics in personality of the luck dragon and the Cheshire cat and that is exactly the role that he serves for Jorath as he walks through the trials of this new realm. He stays lost for a while but this dragon helps him stay on path so that eventually he conquers and passes through to Oauvyss to be with his sister he saved. He's also going to be Abella's lover. He not only stops the conflict between Genivia and her father but he also stops the conflict between Genivia and Abella upon his arrival. So that makes him Orin's hero. I always felt bad for the heroes in the stories because I always was like well who's their hero? So I have four main protagonists now and I love them all. I can't wait for this story to develop more. 🖤🖤🖤

Thena Vs Kro - Eternals Final Fight Scene | Sprite stabs Sersi | Ikaris ...

Good I get to hit him several times he's such a blaspheme and a loser remember is the Gods and they're the ones doing it and all this other s*** it's just Billy Hicks and a little boy.. we can see it in his face no surprise and it's about to use surprised he's about to say how does it feel to know you're going to die and I use a split second and he goes away for a little bit and I'm kind of get one this is when this is I think it's after the whole he is possessed he's a loser and ruins everything and very quickly and our friend here doesn't like him in any way and says when he's lizard man he won't be allowed here other mutants are kept off. What do you see that we do see that Camilla comes in occasionally but people have to be here so we don't know how that happens but let's all say goodbye to Trump it's ruined our people I'm kind of the same race and he's a massive fool we had a chance to win completely any fluid

Angelina Jolie

I'm not Julie Williams that's a stupid idiot Trump good God is he dumb

We have heard enough from Trump and he's a spaz and idiot a loser and his lizard Man and he's possessed with something else and it's his crew of idiots probably from Avatar and their junkies and they're ruining our day there's a whole bunch of them fighting us and we're using suits and stuff and he won't stop bothering us or trying to do something and it seems to find out exactly where and when all the time with aspire to and it ruins everything we're not going to get anywhere and the max aren't getting anywhere and the guy has to go you couldn't control himself if he wanted to he's always this idiot hack in the movies ruining everybody's stuff it's really strange I look at the movies I do and I'm kind of a jerk and I play things wrong a little but I'm human and I'm doing a character and he says he can't see anything that massively drastically awful but this guy blows his lines are so heavy and he says he's saying things that he said when is really pissed off and trying to use it as an excuse and it's just really raunchy and moronic it makes you mad and now I see what he's saying this guy is a piece of s*** it needs to flushed a long time ago he's Billy Hicks and boy what a Wonder okay you should see him with this guy's like you watch him when he's not near our friend he's just as bad but he's so clueless and he's such a stupid person and he's wired to respond like some sort of half-assed fighter and I've seen it before and clones they do it sometimes but he's just as complete geek and f** and he's terrible who says the closest thing to it is cork when he's squished and really it is something interesting not to be desired they're they're horrible but he's like it all the time he's just complete maniac I will tell you one thing he exposed with an accident but that a huge price and we knew about it and we're ready and we need to figure out what happened for real and it's supposed to divvy it up he wouldn't negotiate so something went wrong and he says he went after people to keep it all and it didn't work and it just was hurting people and making them stupid and but what triggered him to do it in the first place is probably the max cuz they thought they'd take it all and it turns out that having this guy blab the whole time ruined it it goes back to us getting something I'll be amazed that this is a plan he says it's not his in whole but it's part of it cuz he figured out these guys will never let him have anything and they'll just continue pilfering Us in this the max I come in like the tide and go out and nobody will notice that will softly go out into the night like Michelle Pfeiffer says and instead we have a rank as fight and we fight each other and you turn into some kind of dragon mutant kind of weird thing your second fighting but he says you're not as fast as the creature and you're not juiced up and you can't handle the juice so I do understand that and it's still wicked but still I mean you got teeth and claws you don't do anything well we're in suits so it did pretty good considering they're in suits but he says usually a dragon with the just breathe fire and the suit would be gone not gone but the guy would be charbroiled like a what do you call those things corn dog. That's really gross that they don't they don't use the fire that much and he says it probably eats their brain up and I said this wow that's stupid but really gross okay I mean that's way over the top and we don't want to do that but he says the max might be forcing it and who the hell cares as far as we know you have to find out what the damn status is before we come superheroes and screw around forever to see

Brad pitt

So he says to Angelina my wife stay away from me ogler cuz she's looking at him staring at him and he's going with the hell is that and I think you're Angelina near the co-star and Dune 2 and she says no I'm not that small and it wasn't me so I'm wrong again and good she gets the point you can take her out to dinner and your Lambo

And he's expressing Lambo very strongly it's going to lambeau project nobody's interested not even Lamborghini they say they might be if I can't touch it he says that's because it's her company kind of her inventions looks like a spaceship all right we're getting out of here

Yeah you do that you little boy Angelina Jolie

I'm going to tell you something you're cracking the web Brad

I'm running out of paper so we have to print

There are mutants around to say they can look like this and they can mutate I don't know how much they can mutate like She-Hulk

Zues Hera

How can you take but not like that and I can't look like the creature of the Creature Black lagoon either. They're both very huge normally and you're my son saying that you're normally pretty big and I normally pretty big and I'm not your mother's body she's the half inside here so it's very confusing what you're saying and you're straighten it out when you're in the womb your programs to be larger and that's what happened just a human form and my girlfriends were super mutants and my wife was controlling them utterly and you never met my wife but you've met my sister-in-law many times and it's Michelle audette for a while and he says the last few sentences and I do acknowledge that it was her and it's not Hera and I saw her baby picture with Carmen and I know Carmen and I hope you find them this is how and I think you're right they're not doing anything here and it's getting gross and you're trying to break it and I do see how and if you think it'll work there's several things that are making it work all the data is compiled there at the Tron facilities the people are at the matrix the data is there before it goes to the other facility and people want both and they're looking at them seriously and I do see it was a huge battle and wore there recently and they couldn't break them and it's going to start fairly soon tonight and I do appreciate your help and I hope this is it I know what you're saying you worked in a lot of projects a lot of stuff out there and they haven't even touched on it so let's hope I do appreciate the favor back just say it's a little thing compared to it but you weren't really aware of it and that's very funny thank you but no I can't meet you like this you say what you've seen the imitation and it's extreme and I know what you're saying it does do that but it doesn't do it into something else and you say that I might be full of Bologna because I look like a human fully and that's a good point but then again you're right again I'm part of human a big part that's half no it's more and I do understand something it's probably like 65 to 70% and it's only one or two beings but there a mix and it is an outrageous mix we think another possessed with something. And I have never seen it and what you're saying is the things that Darth maul has might be naturally grown but I do know how they do that but you're right that's pretty extreme but that's just a few horns but these are horns kind of so it is possible I think the Philly humanoid looking and it was a strength levels way up there but they are trying they're like 14 ft tall and the juiced it might be juicing in between scenes and it's simple for them. Oddly enough their teeth are humanoids in their head looks humanoid that's backwards as if the clones are taking our bodies and mutated them and they do sometimes look very odd and have armor we're going to look into it that's a very good observation

She Hulk I'd like to be a lawyer on some cases and you want me to team up with Mac so you can work with me on this case and he said he wants to and to meet with me he's going to send me a message cuz I'm a lady and he's going to do that and I appreciate it son cuz you're welcome Mom and I need help to grow up LOL again very funny but he needs vertically and the two Big fellas say his head's big enough for him to be seven or eight foot tall easily and I do get that it's always been out of proportion now you're wide and chunky and it looks kind of normal it's still a little large there's so many fat heads around this is funny I can't believe I'm talking about this stuff and this is part of it but I think that you're probably pretty big Dave was big he was 6'4 most the time during his life and he had to shrink down a little hunch down but yeah he's always kind of tall and I was doing similar stuff and I remember that you I was doing a lot of it when you were there and some other chemicals I don't know what they were and I wasn't elderberry wine but I see what you're saying. And I don't know what's holding it back you're saying that it's probably the medicine in me and I have something to see something that's gross

There is a start soon in the cloud up again this tons of people for me huge huge files of them I'm going to start putting them free alcohol out there now sounds good for that free pizza

Sweet about quarter million people here dressing up in police outfits and paramilitary and we're going after them pretty soon we'll have those Godzillas out he says it should make it a lot better this will have a base nearby and we're going to try and do it today again getting ready to remove them and he says get The Offspring out of there the baby Godzilla's and 70% move the damn things and we're going to go ahead and do that it's taking way too long and he's going to have less than a week and in a minute and a blink it's already the 16th so we're going to go ahead and do that cuz we keep saying today and it will be fine it's not and I noticed that too here some concentrate on The Offspring and continue to feed the two as well for both that would be necessary but if only one comes out we will learn real fast that we are not right he says and I already know that so I'm moving out and his requested the water and his sons he's special attention you're getting it out right now so they're going to be okay well I don't have any more time and we get this from the other time he can't say the news we can get him out at 70%, people say they don't get any better than 90 anyways so I'm going to go ahead and do that we've got this thing going ahead and we need to get these young ones out and almost out there's tons of crevasses and stuff can't get him anything without the mouth and structurally we have to we're adding weight to it with ourselves we have to be there I'm Started to ask you myself something am I really paying attention here. Then my answer was not that great so I'm going to pay attention since if I do we can probably get it out tonight I'm going to stop food around. I agree too it's time to do this the only requires a little effort to get all those young out then the guys will be ready when they go it's important on and we're going to get them out there I'm going to do this

Thor Freya

I'm safe I want this creature it out and the other one and I want to move in I am so psychedck to do this I am prepared and ready to take these people down they ask for it so much it's so often right to his face and say stupid s*** we have no alternative if it's do what he's saying and he knew about it because he's saying I have no way out of this and there's nothing I can do I need to get some people here or else he's trying all sorts of stuff it's going to work and we need to move in around it to make it safe here and there's nothing we can do about it we have tech here and we have to guard it and there's nothing else we can do we simply must do it and it's going to be a huge war and tons of dead in minutes and we'll just fill them up and then be ready to go and add in uranium there's plenty of uranium on board ships this is crabs too I'm going to do that too because it goes real fast and hit that thing howling says he wants snow here and just started attacking Mr snow it's a metaphor

Nuada Arrianna

We see there's a lot of people lighting up for the race and they want to get going before they get here so we're going to release them and it's me and they're praising me they probably should because if the Russians get here it's going to ruin all things and it's going on and there's a huge number a little bit half of them end up in the hole and that's plenty of started off I can't stand it here anymore I can't stand his people he can't even enjoy a minute of daylight they're somean

It's time to get this done and I'm going to push forward and I think he's thinking is right you're the young Godzilla's off and seal it and then go to 70%, cuz 90% is really all you get when they're in there 70% is pretty high and it goes to like a hundred and like 10 minutes literally stands up moves around fuels off after about 10 or 20 minutes most of her 100% so was talking about yes it is we need to get this done

Thor Freya

It was sitting there and it's because of things you're saying for us to look at one way or the other you start getting real mad he said I wanted to see if it was safe in order to proceed not if it's not 100% safe not to proceed it's like a threat analysis and weighing your risk and stuff but he understands that the rest of the world wasn't ready for this and that's a big huge part of it but now they're ready and that's a big reason everybody man we're going to make sure they're ready so doing the thunderdoms and pulling up the bunkers and it's forcing it to be ready cuz that kind of activity makes a lot of ruffle feathers and we have to go in and extract people all day and night it is working and the fact we need the concrete is doing the job for us and they put so much of it into these bunkers it's supposed to be our biggest weakness is turning into a strength cuz we're taking them down
