2006
rain was always so calming. A constant in your life. The raindrops would follow one another and make a pitter patter noise as they landed on the earth, weather on the ground, leaves, or in water again.
You could hear it loud and clear despite your headphones and icecap covering your ears. You weren't listening to music, but rather had the music instrument to divert anyone from talking to you. The bus stop was not too crowded, and the same people every Wednesday huddled under the stop's shelter like fish in a bucket.
Your face, of course, was buried in your book. What else would you be doing? Flipping the page as you glanced at your watch. 2 more minutes, you sighed.
"Excuse me." You snapped your head up, looking at the drenched blond that stepped under the ran protective roof. "Did bus, 38 leave yet?" He was panting, one hand on his knee as he looked up at you. You?
You were taken aback by his eyes, looking around to see if he he was taking to anyone else, but no, his blue eyes were on you. "I um -" You took a headphone off to be polite. "No, it should be, oh yeah, turn around." Just in time, you bit the inside of your lip as the blond gave you a thankful smile.
The people from the bus top filed in, taking a seat and resuming their activities. You decided to stand. Someone else could need your seat more than you do. And apparently, someone also thought the same thing, but he wasn't used to the bus's immediate halts.
Standing a few feet behind you was a bad idea because with the wet floor and sudden red traffic light, you found yourself catching Sebastian Vettel from slipping down on the floor and taking him with you.
Those blue eyes were too big for his head, scratch that. They were perfect. The amount of time the two of you spent with your arm hooked around his waist and him holding onto the handle above to catch his balance, was enough for you sketch the beauty he was in your head.
"Sorry." "It's okay." You dismissed, with a polite smile, helping him stand up straight. "Maybe you should sit down." "Eh, someone else might need it more than me." He said hesitantly, shrugging. The smile on your face widened, and features softened. His did too, seeing the elegant moon in your eyes shine on him with what he could describe as a gentle goddess giving a flower to a loyal worshipper.
"I'm Sebastian." "Y/N."
★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
2007
No one ever sits on the chair beside you. When the seats were vacant and you sat down, it'd be just you. But today, a familiar face returned. After only appearing for two weeks, you finally get to see the blue eyes and fluff after a year.
"Whatcha reading?" He asks, looking down at your book. A smile shined on your face as you closed the pages to show him the title. "Just light reading." You hummed quietly, glancing up as the bus arrived.
You stood together on the bus, catching up on recent events. Which included him getting a "promotion" at his job. You kind of got into that topic more, you learned that his job took him to travel the world, and that included being here in Canada for a week every year, Thursday to Sunday.
Only, today was Monday. And last year when he visited he stayed for three Thursdays: three weeks, triple the time he should. You didn't ask about that, maybe it was just personal, or he had family here. You didn't ask what his job was either since he didn't disclose it on his own. You sure it was just a big fancy company that was related to computers and cyber tech since they were big things at this time.
When you got off with Seb at your stop, the both of you decided to stop at a café before plopping down on the couch in a corner in the grand library. Your hands were too busy holding the warm paper cup you didn't realize that Sebastian was leading the way. His hand on the small off your back, pulling you from your shirt to stop you at a cross walk ( red goers dead goers ) or walking on the outside of the street so it was safter for you to sip on your hot chocolate in peace.
The noon was spent peacefully, sitting beside each other, noses in books. Sebastian had such a calming presence, you even laid your head on his shoulder and watched him go through books about motors and cars ( which you found terribly cute ).
The week continued like usual, with seb having to leave early from Thursday to Saturday. On Monday he stayed long enough to take you out to lunch. The two of you sat at a nice dinner overlooking St. Lawrence river, and later you had a nice walk along the water body, linking arms together.
You spent the rest of the day with him, all the way back to the bus stop long after the sun had set. "Are you staying far from here?" You asked, brushing some hair from his eyes gently. He shrugged looking out at the illuminated streets. "I'm German, a walk is a walk." You couldn't help but chuckle as he pointed at his inflated chest proudly.
"I'll . . . see you tomorrow morning?" He asked hesitantly as he started walking away backwards slowly, looking at you. You nodded, a wide sile on your face as you walked in the opposite direction, backwards as well. "Get hoe safe." "You too."
But for whatever reason. He wasn't there in the morning. He usually makes it just two minutes before the bus. But today, you had to ride all alone. You had to sit all alone in the library too, and buy hot chocolate on your own too. Wednesday was like that as well, and Thursday as follows. And on Sunday, as you sat at the cafe, blowing hot air in your palms to warm yourself up when your ear caught a familiar name on the television.
"And eighth on his debut, the nineteen year old Sebastian Vettel standing in for the injured Robert Kubica scores one point for BMW."
Your Sebastian Vettel just scared a point in the pinnacle of motorsport?
★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
2008
Your smile is wide as you watch the blond arrive. You scootch over in your seat since the other one was taken and immediately Seb takes a seat beside you. "Mr. Vettel, would you be so kind to sign my shirt?" You joke, and when he looks as the top you're wearing he almost burst into laughter, putting his face in his hands.
"There's this store that sells merch, I thought it looked good." You shrug, nudging him. "Oh my god." He wipes his eyes looking at it. "Who's that?" He points to the shirt you were wearing, new Torro rosso merch with the new driver. "You don't know Sebastian Vettel?" You gasp, putting your hand on your chest in fake and dramatic offence. "He's the next World Champion." "Really?" "Oh yea, for sure. Maybe not this year or the next. But he'll do great one day."
"I was hoping to know, do you think Sebastian would be able to invite this friend of his to the race on Sunday." "I don't know, I'll have to check. I'm sure he'll be intent on bringing her to all of the races if she says yes." "She says yes."
university can wait.
It can wait till after Seb's first home grand prix, hugging him tightly after the race. Till after you go out with him that after party to dance all night. It can wait till the two of you cakesmash each other the next morning then laugh your asses off as you struggle to clean up.
university can defiantly wait till after a trip to Italy. Sitting at a very expensive restaurant and eating pasta despite dietary restrictions. It can wait sightseeing and museums. And most defiantly wait till after Sebastian's first win. After he kisses you post celebration and post podium, sharing the bottle of champagne
★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
2009
"That was beautiful, amour." [love] you smiled as Sebastian finally reached you. This year round, both of you were wearing red bull branded clothes, while seb wore the race suit, you wore the kit.
"I'm pretty sure you should look in a mirror because you're much more beautiful." The German joked, sharing a quick kiss with you. Christian could see the look of pride and admiration on your face as Sebastian hopped on the top pedestal for the Chinese grand prix. And of curse, as anyone in your places would, you blew kisses to each other.
"Its a pretty trophy." You hummed once you got a hold of it after the podium ceremony. The garage was still hype from the win, and you couldn't deny that your heart was hammering in your chest still. "It is." Adrian newey, your boss nodded looking between you and sebastian who was chasing his mechanics with the bottle of champagne.
"This is going to be a nice year. A very nice year." You hummed to yourself, feeling yourself smile watching your lover laugh. He looked at you with his eyebrows raised. And before you knew it, he was chasing you up and down the pitlane. Safe to say the skirt you were wearing was not helping you and you were eventually sticky and sweet.
"Let me taste." Seb held your waste, leaning in for a kiss. You managed to pull away, blushing and pushing on his chest playfully. "The whole world will see us." You scolded, folding your arms shyly. You were, after all, in the pitlane, any fan or journalist or camera could see and forever etch the moment into the internet.
"Let them see, let the world know that you're mine and I'm yours."
"You cheeky bastard."
★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
2010
"Shhhh." "Let me seeee!" "Shhhh!" You shushed him even harder, pushing him away from his face. "I'm working." You scolded, slightly smacking his chest.
Pre season was almost here, and you were finishing up the design to the RB6. Moving from Montreal to London for the job was a big change. Although you weren't able to graduate university with your planned engineering degree, you were talented and gifted enough to score a designer position with Red bull racing.
Adrian Newey supervised over you and saw you as a skilled individual. You were able to preform well, abiding within the rules of F1 to create extraordinary work. Well, you work fine when Sebastian is not at your neck trying to look at the blueprints for the RB6.
"Oh come on, Let me see what you're going to be putting me in. I'm going to drive it anyways." You shook you head to yourself. As soon as you stopped holding Seb away from his chest, he had immediately put his nose in all your work and notes asking questions and making pointers even though the man never learned anything in university about any of this.
"Make it super fast." He tells you. You couldn't help but chuckle at his antics. "I don't make the car fast. The driver does." You joke getting up. "besides, I can already tell, we've bagged this season." You breath out happily kissing his cheek as you pass him to go to the kitchen.
"I like the way you think." He smirked following you, leaning his forearms on the kitchen counter, watching you as you skimmed through the fridge for something. "You hungry? We can go out." He offered, pushing himself up and coming up from behind you, hugging your waist and searching with his eyes through the content of the fridge same way you did.
"I don't know . . . I'm craving gâteau, tiramisu maybe? I don't know. Sugar, something sweet." [cake] You sighed in thought. "Do you wat something sweet?" you looked back at him only to see his cute smile and his blue gorgeous eyes on you.
"I have my infinite share of sweetness." You raised a brow confused at his words, only to be answered by his lips pressing on yours. "Why would I want anything cake or gâteau," he mocked, "when I have you?" "verry funny, seb." you chuckled, playfully rolling your eyes only to be met with another kiss.
★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
You were stressed, very stressed. after the car had preformed well and met your expectations during testing, it did not deliver well enough not in the first race with Alonso had won nor the second race in which Sebastian had to retire. mark in the other seat wasn't doing any better with 8th and 9th, which were yes in the points, but not in the championship.
Sebastian had taken pole during both weekends, the first race in Bahrain where his car lost power in the last few laps and the second race in Australia where the brakes failed due to mechanical issues. And it all felt like it was your fault. Like you didn't put enough effort in the car at the beginning in the season, like you costed a beloved new family and team money and a championship.
The stress and nerves wouldn't leave you, sitting on the pit wall as you watched the lights turn red one by one. Webber is on pole this time with seb in the second row with p3. chewing your pencil, you counted down till the lights went out, eyes on the screens in front of you displaying important specs that would help you with possible outcomes and opportunities for strategies.
Your heart almost jumped out of your chest as the drivers pressed on the throttle for the Malaysian grand prix. with your note book in hand and pen between your fingers, you began scribbling and planning and thinking.
★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Your heart hammers in your chest as Sebastian crosses the finish line first. You hardly register the cheers around you as you push through the crowd, your feet carrying you to parc fermé on pure instinct. There he is—Sebastian, climbing out of his car, arms raised in triumph, the kind of smile that could light up the entire paddock plastered across his face.
“Seb!” you call out, your voice cracking with emotion. His head whips around, and the moment his eyes land on you, he opens his arms without hesitation.
You throw yourself into him, gripping him so tightly you're not sure where he ends and you begin. The smell of sweat and champagne clings to him, but you don’t care. All that matters is the way he holds you back, his joy infectious.
“You did it,” you whisper, your voice shaky. “You actually did it.”
“I couldn’t have done it without you,” he replies, his words soft but weighty, his voice muffled against your hair. And for a fleeting moment, it feels like the world belongs to the two of you.
★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The words echo in your ears, muffled yet unmistakable: “Du bist Weltmeister!” It feels surreal, like you’ve stepped into a dream. The grand prix is over, and yet your heart races faster than it ever did during the race.
Sebastian’s disbelief mirrors your own as he clambers out of his car, shaking his head in wonder before he sees you. You barely have time to brace yourself before he’s pulling you into another bone-crushing hug, his breath coming out in a stuttering laugh against your shoulder.
“We did it!” he exclaims, his voice thick with emotion.
“No,” you correct him, though your voice cracks from the tears threatening to spill. “You did it, Seb. You’re the world champion.”
Later, on the podium, Sebastian lifts the constructor’s trophy beside you, his smile splitting his face as the crowd roars. When the champagne sprays, you barely have time to duck before he turns the bottle on you, his laughter blending with yours in the chaos. It’s a moment frozen in time, one you’ll replay over and over in your mind.
★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
2011
Moving into the Milton Keynes apartment had been his idea. Despite his Monaco residence, Sebastian had insisted that being close to you—and the team—mattered more. The apartment wasn’t much, but it became home.
You’d cook dinner together, sometimes burning the pasta because you were too busy teasing each other. When you weren’t at the factory or the track, you were exploring cities together, summer and winter breaks filled with spontaneous vacations. Hiking in the Alps, sipping espresso on cobbled streets in Rome, or lying on the beaches of Ibiza—it was always the two of you against the world.
It was simple. It was perfect. Until it wasn’t.
★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
2014
The tension had been building for weeks. Every race felt like a battlefield, but not just for Sebastian on the track—it had seeped into the small apartment you shared, turning it into a minefield neither of you seemed able to navigate. The car wasn’t competitive, the championship slipping further out of reach with every race weekend. It gnawed at him, at both of you, but Sebastian wasn’t used to losing.
That night, it all came to a head.
“I’m giving everything I have!” he snapped, pacing across the narrow living room, his hands tugging at his hair. His voice was sharp, louder than you’d ever heard it before, echoing against the walls. “Do you think I want to be stuck fighting for fifth?”
You flinched, his frustration rolling off him in waves, but you stood your ground. Crossing your arms, you swallowed the lump forming in your throat. “I never said that, Seb. But you’re shutting me out! How am I supposed to help you if you won’t even let me in?”
He stopped mid-stride, turning to face you with a look that made your stomach twist. His lips parted, and for a moment, you thought he might say something to ease the blow, to let you in the way you were begging him to. But then, the words came out like a slap:
“Maybe you can’t help!”
The air in the room went heavy, suffocating. Your breath hitched as the weight of his words settled in your chest, sharp and cutting. You stared at him, waiting for him to take it back, to soften the edges of what he’d just said. But he didn’t. He just stood there, his chest rising and falling, his eyes darting away from yours.
“Okay,” you said finally, your voice quiet, strained. It was all you could manage.
Sebastian exhaled sharply, dragging his hand down his face, but he didn’t say anything. No apology, no explanation. And somehow, that was worse.
The rest of the night passed in silence. He retreated to the bedroom, the door clicking shut behind him, while you sat alone in the dimly lit living room, staring blankly at the coffee table. The tension was still there, like an invisible wall between you, and you knew—knew—that this wasn’t just about the car. It was about everything.
By mid-season, you couldn’t take it anymore. The team’s focus was shifting, Sebastian’s frustration was mounting, and your own heartbreak was becoming unbearable. You handed in your resignation at Red Bull with trembling hands, the words barely audible as you told Christian you were leaving.
Porsche’s hypercar program was a lifeline. It wasn’t just about stepping away from the team—it was about stepping away from Sebastian, from the version of him you didn’t recognize anymore. You threw yourself into your work, finishing your master’s degree with a kind of single-minded determination that bordered on obsession. A PhD followed, and so did your work alongside Mark Webber.
But even as the years passed, the sting of that night, of those words—Maybe you can’t help!—never truly faded. They echoed in your mind at the most unexpected times, in the quiet moments when you let your guard down. You told yourself you’d moved on, but deep down, you knew part of you was still in that small apartment in Milton Keynes, staring at the man you once thought you’d never lose.
★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
2024
The Porsche garage hummed with activity—mechanics adjusting tools, engineers poring over screens, the air filled with the familiar scents of fuel and rubber. It was a controlled chaos you thrived in, but when Sebastian walked in, the rhythm faltered, like someone had pressed pause on the world.
You looked up, drawn by an instinct you couldn’t explain. He stood just inside the doorway, his gaze scanning the room until it landed on you.
Time seemed to collapse, the years between you vanishing in an instant. He looked... different. His features had sharpened with age, a faint streak of silver glinting in his hair, but his eyes—those striking, unyielding eyes—remained the same.
For a moment, neither of you moved. The noise of the garage dulled to a murmur, replaced by the pounding of your heartbeat in your ears.
Finally, you smiled, forcing yourself to break the spell. “Good seeing you again, Seb.”
Your voice was steady, but your extended hand trembled slightly. He stepped forward, taking it in his. His grip was firm, grounding, and the touch lingered longer than it should have.
“Yn,” he said, your name a quiet acknowledgment, a memory resurrected.
The handshake ended, and with it, the fragile bubble of familiarity. You withdrew, your professionalism snapping into place like armor, but the warmth of his palm against yours stayed, a phantom sensation.
Later, you stood at the pit wall, your headset snug over your ears as you stared at the monitors in front of you. Rows of data scrolled across the screens—lap times, tire degradation, telemetry—all of it meant to hold your focus. But no amount of numbers could drown out the echo of Sebastian’s voice when he’d said your name.
Out on the track, the Porsche glided through the apex of a turn, sleek and powerful under Sebastian’s control. His voice crackled through your headset, cutting through your scattered thoughts. “Car feels good.”
It was measured, professional, but you caught it—that faint hesitation, the undertone of something unresolved.
“Copy that,” you replied, gripping the edge of the console until your knuckles whitened. Your voice was clipped, businesslike, but it felt like a mask too thin to hold. “Let’s push for one more flying lap.”
Sebastian’s car roared down the straight, his hands tightening around the wheel. He leaned into the motion of the car, each turn precise, his instincts still razor-sharp. But beneath the surface, his mind was a storm. Every shift of the gears felt weighted, every flick of the wheel a reminder of how much had changed—and how much had stayed the same.
Inside the garage, the silence between radio updates was deafening. You clenched your jaw, willing yourself to focus on the present. But every beep of the telemetry felt like a heartbeat, syncing with the one pounding in your chest.
When Sebastian finally returned to the pit lane, you stepped back, giving him space as he climbed out of the car. For a moment, his eyes found yours again, a flash of something unspoken passing between you.
The handshake earlier had been a bridge—a brief moment of connection—but now, standing apart, the gap between you felt impossibly vast. Neither of you moved to close it.
★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The bus stop was dimly lit, the flickering streetlamp above casting fleeting shadows on the damp pavement. A cold breeze tugged at your coat, sneaking past the fabric to nip at your skin. You tucked your hands deeper into your pockets, rocking on your heels to stay warm.
The sound of an engine broke through the quiet, low and familiar. Headlights curved around the corner, slowing as they approached. You turned, squinting into the glow, and recognition struck before the car even stopped.
Sebastian’s car.
He rolled down the window, leaning over with an easy grace that looked so natural, like no time had passed. His gaze found yours, soft and warm, but carrying something you couldn’t quite place.
“Need a lift?” he asked, voice steady but tinged with something almost hesitant.
A smirk tugged at your lips as you stepped closer, the teasing retort slipping out effortlessly. “Are you my 39 North today?”
His chuckle was low, the kind that felt like the rumble of a car engine in your chest. “Only because you’re my favorite passenger.”
Without hesitation, you opened the door and slid into the passenger seat, the faint scent of leather and something distinctly Sebastian enveloping you. As you buckled up, you glanced at him, taking in the way his fingers rested on the steering wheel, tapping lightly in an unconscious rhythm.
“Still driving like you’re on the autobahn?” you teased, adjusting the seatbelt.
He cast a sidelong glance at you, a small smile playing at his lips. “I could say the same about you. You were always terrible at staying in the slow lane.”
You laughed, the sound breaking through the quiet tension that had settled between you both. As the car pulled away, the city lights painted streaks across the windshield, and for the first time in years, the silence felt comfortable.
Like maybe, just maybe.

Overview
Athena is the Hellenic goddess associated most commonly with wisdom, war, weaving, and in modern times, education and knowledge. She was a goddess who occupied both masculine and feminine roles in a highly patriarchal society, standing outside the societal binary. She is a fascinatingly variable and nuanced deity who has adapted and persisted in the mind of western society until this day. This masterpost is in dedication to her.
“Through our investigation of [Athena’s] role within the pantheon, she has emerged as a power of technology and creativity who promotes creativity and order, but with another side to her power, that of the storm bringer and warmonger.” -Susan Deacy

Athenian Festivals
Athena’s main festivals were the Panathenaia, Khalkeia, Kallynteria and Plynteria. It is up to individuals to decide if and how to include these celebrations in their practice.
Panathenaia: The biggest festival for Athena taking place annually, but with a bigger version every fourth year. Mainly a festival with athletic, poetry and musical competitions.
Kallynteria and Plynteria: Sacred days centered around cleaning.
Arrephoria: A mysterious festival that took place at night and is theorized to have been a fertility rite.
Khalkeia: The festival of artisans, which celebrated Athena and Hephaestus.
🐍Find out More!🐍
Family & Connections
Parents: Athena’s father was Zeus (Except in Libya, where she was known as Poseidon’s daughter) and her mother was the personification of wisdom, Metis. In some sources she was raised by Triton alongside his daughter, Pallas.
Children: Athena had no children as a virgin goddess but she did adopt and raise Erichthonius, who later became king of Athens.
Retinue: Athena was often associated closely with Nike (Victory), an example being the famed statue Athena Parthenos, which held Nike in its hand. The aegis which Athena wore also contained the personifications Phobos (Fear), Eris (Strife), Alke (Strength) and Ikoe (Panic) as noted in the Iliad.
Companions: Pallas is perhaps the most famous of Athene’s companions, as the two girls grew up together until Athena accidentally killed Pallas and afterwards took on her name as an epithet. However, in the Homeric Hymn 2 to Demeter it is shown that Athena, Artemis and Persephone spent time together and were playing and collecting flowers before Persephone was abducted. The Greek historian Diodorus Siculus claims they were also raised together.
Heroes: Athena was a mentor of Heroes and had a hand in assisting heroes such as Herakles, Odysseus and Diomedes, but also Achilles, Bellerophon, Perseus, Theseus, Kadmos and Tydeus.

Genesis
tw: nsfw themes, fem reader, dom reader, stalking, yandere
Sunday, August 4, 2024
You’ve been quite stressed lately. What that promotion of yours offered in profit has been quickly chipping away at your sanity, and that new apartment, while spacious, still leaves much to be desired in location. However, tonight was different. These lonely, late-night commutes have brought you a unique sense of comfort. And though your phone’s light still accompanied you through the night, you were glowing even brighter yourself.
Monday, August 5, 2024
This night was no different. You carried that air from before, or rather, it carried you as you glided across the sidewalk. Your feet, as feathers upon clouds, skipped and danced as if you were performing for an audience. Your stress evaporated, and your load lightened.
Tuesday, August 6, 2024
Tonight, you marched with confidence. The trees to your sides guarded you like cherubim to the throne; The rustling of their leaves as your drumline. Truly, nothing had changed. Your job the same and your apartment still littered with empty boxes, but perhaps the night, had finally come to respect you.
Wednesday, August 7, 2024
What a sight to be seen. You had came down from your high, and yet you seemed to merge with the heavens. Nay, you had found your way back into them. The moon and stars now shining brightly as celebration at their creator’s return.
Thursday, August 8, 2024
Tonight, you brought a man an ANIMAL into your home. With a sultry look on your face no less. Your apartment now reeked of rotten fish. Spattered with dirt and crumbs. TAINTED with the presence of a COMMON HOUSE SPARROW. Why? My beautiful dove, why would you let this filth befoul you this way? And he left so soon. Is this what had made you so happy? So at peace? I watched over you throughout the night. Your soft skin glistening in the moonlight. I would never let you be alone; This would not happen again.
Friday, August 9, 2024
Today, I followed you oh so closely. Closer than ever before. Your scent cleansed my nose of the trash the night before; Your voice a harmonious choir upon my ears. Through none other than a miracle, I had been able to breathe the same air as you. And so, I continued to follow you, delighted in your presence, all the way back to your nightly walk home. Where suddenly, you stopped and turned to look directly at me, a cruel smile adorning your face.
“You’re so much cuter when you’re jealous.”
I fell to my knees as you walked up to me. Frozen you placed a hand gently on my chin, tilting my head up to meet my eyes; Yours blending in with the stars in the night sky. You let out a sigh as your smile quickly melted into a disappointed frown. Then, you promptly removed your hand and gave me a firm slap.
“You’ve been getting lazy recently. Don’t disappoint me again. My seraph.”
I remained there far longer after you left. My hand resting on my reddened cheek. I had been born anew. My Goddess having given me a second chance.
Saturday, August 10, 2024
And on the seventh day, you rested.
thank you for reading til the end, big experiment here, feedback appreciated <3

My Yandere Neighbor (Manga)
Created by: 杏蜜
Genre: Comedy/Slice of Life
So this is a translation that we picked up, and while we have five chapters of raws currently, only one of them has been translated and typeset, so we'll be going off of that. The story so far has some yandere action between Kishi and Okada but is overall pretty light, with Okada mostly just being confused and slightly offput by Kishi as of now.
The story starts out with Okada working with Kishi and her being offput by him as he seems to be following and noticing very minute details about how many inches of hair she's cut off of her bangs and that she's sighing more than usual. We learn that Okada has recently been promoted to Art Director and is currently very busy. Kishi can be helpful towards Okada which she appreciates but is still a bit weirded out by her reaction. We get a backstory about how the two meet with Kishi grumbling outside and Okada concerned and bringing him in so they can talk. We find out that Kishi has been mistreated by his boss, as he's made a mistake which caused his boss to severely berate him and forcing him to apologize to everyone. Okada feels sympathetic towards Kishi and his situation and decides to help by talking to her boss about it to get the situation resolved. This leads to Kishi being transferred to her department, allowing him to get a better job and to be closer to Okada, which leads to him just becoming a stalker. We get to Kishi hanging out with coworkers after hours, with them eventually rooting for Okada to look after him after hearing his story. Kishi then goes on an entire thing where he talks about how much he worships her and even ends up following her to the bathroom just to tell her that they were all going to sing karaoke. When it's Okada's turn to sing, Kishi brings an entire boom mic just to record her, though Okada promptly shuts it down. After singing and drinking, Kishi brings her home and he's pretty drunk and she's shocked to find that the two are now neighbors as he's moved in next door.
So already starting out, we can kind of see how the comedy of Kishi and Okada has unfolded, though it doesn't seem like it'll be a very drastic in terms of yandere actions are more of a light comedy type of thing, at least so far considering Okada's attitude. She doesn't seem really scared of Kishi only weirded out by the things that he does and Kishi is at least kind enough respond to Okada when she tells him not to do something like go into the girl's bathroom as well as try to actually help her during her job. This seems like a quirky love that might bloom between them then, along with a lot more comedic moments, though it's hard to judge from the first chapter alone.
Kishi himself seems to be the worshipping type as noted by his own words (and his own imaginations of him), which makes a lot of sense considering Okada basically was able to fish him out of an abusive boss and eventually land him a much better and healthier job. Most of his actions are strange, but relatively harmless, from trying to record Okada's voice while singing karaoke, to knowing what kind of tea she likes, to I guess following her to the bathroom. I imagine as the series continues, these actions will just get more and more bizarre but ultimately harmless and only really affecting Okada's suspension of disbelief. If they wanted to go a more serious route, they could also probably run in the direction of Kishi slowly realizing that Okada isn't as much of a goddess as he thinks she is, treating her more as person as the story goes on, or maybe just continuing the hijinks as they are.
Anyways, I'm curious to see where this series will go after all of this time. Since we're translating it, I would be very happy if you all read it so I can see your reactions.

Dharma Eye by Talon Abraxas
Meaning of Symbols Common to Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism
1.The Dharma Wheel is the main Buddhist symbol, but it also appears in Hinduism and Jainism. It represents Dharmic views on morality and cosmic law. With eight spokes, it denotes the moral virtues on the Buddhist Eightfold Path.
2.The Swastika is an ancient symbol. Clockwise, it represents the motion of the Sun in Hinduism. Counterclockwise, it is the night and the Hindu goddess Kali. In Buddhism, it symbolizes Buddha's footprints and the cycle of life. In Jainism, the arms denote the four types of rebirth for the soul.
3.The Lotus flower symbolizes divinity, perfection, immortality, and various Hindu deities. In Buddhism, it expresses purity of the body and mind. In Jainism, semi-divine prophets are represented by or seated upon them.
4.The Endless Knot or "Srivatsa" and Pair of Fish appear in Ashtamangala: a set of eight symbols (most are pictograms of sacred objects) that differ between traditions. The knot represents unity, the cycle of rebirth, and wisdom entwined with compassion. The fish symbolize happiness, freedom, and fearlessness.
5.Symbols may be combined into Yantra, which usually have T-shapes on their borders to symbolize inner enlightenment. They may be associated with deities, luck, protection, or used as meditative aids.
Meaning of Other Hindu Symbols
1.The Om appears in all Dharmic traditions (variously translated), although it is technically a written symbol. It is included here because it has become the main symbol of Hinduism. It represents the supreme, divine consciousness.
2.The Ouroboros appears in several religious traditions (the oldest may be Ancient Egypt; see below). In Hindu mythology, it is one of the animals that holds up the world.
3.The Conch shell or "Shankha" represents Vishnu, water, female fertility, longevity, and prosperity.
Meaning of Other Buddhist Symbols
1.The Conch shell also appears in Buddhism. It can be used as a trumpet and thus represents the awakening influence of Buddhist teachings.
2.The Triratna represents the three jewels of Buddhism: the Buddha (enlightened one), Dharma (teachings), and Sangha (clergy).
3.A Bodhi tree is where Buddha achieved awakening, and its symbol thus represents liberation and nirvana.
4.Buddha footprints represent Buddha as a man, and as following a path that all humans can therefore follow.
5.Buddha eyes symbolize his all-seeing nature. Their display may promote moral behavior in a society.
Meaning of Other Jain Symbols
1.The Nandavarta symbolizes teaching, enlightenment, joy, and prosperity.
2.The Ahimsa represents the principle of non-violence (beginning with non-violence against oneself).
Meaning of Sikh Symbols
1.The Khanda is the primary Sikh symbol. It stands for the provision of charity and protection to those who need it.
2.The Harr Nishan is a symbol of the Ravidassia branch of Sikhism. It represents the goal of enlightenment through worship, meditation, and singing.

Italian fascism was trying to defeat a nature [...] by declaring it a priority to civilize the marshes of the Pontine Plain. [...] The swampland was still the habitat of the anopheles mosquito and the dominion of the “Goddess of Fever.” [...] [A] flaw of a primal [...] nature, [...] unproductive [...]. The efforts to create “an idyllic rural area consonant with fascist ideals of productivity [...] within the state’s interests” included extensive electrification of the region, constructing thousands of kilometres of roads and canals and “large pumping and drainage plants called impianti idrovori (drainage pumping stations), in Italian literally ‘water-eating’ machinery plants,” founding an anti-malaria institute, having war veterans plant the region with water-absorbing [non-native] eucalyptus trees (these plants performed their job too well, which is why they were later torn out again at great expense [...]), stocking fish [...], establishing an anti-mosquito militia, and putting up children’s camps whose buildings were wrapped in ten layers of wire to protect them from mosquitoes. “The fascist emphasis on the technical and technological aspects of the land reclamation programme were also characteristic of a positivistic view of [technology and institutionalized knowledge] [...] aimed at controlling, rationalizing and ultimately creating an imperium over a previously unknown or ‘untamed’ area.”
Text by: Fahim Amir. “Cloudy Swords.” e-flux Journal Issue #115. February 2021. [Bold emphasis added by me.]
---
On 24 December 1928 Italy’s fascist regime launched [...] a fourteen-year national land reclamation programme aimed at [...] Italy’s ‘death inducing’ swamps [...]. The Pontine Marshes, a marshland spreading across 75,000 hectares south of Rome was given top priority [...]. [T]he fascist regime used an extensive propaganda machinery to promote the programme [...] as a heroic quest [...]. Newsreels documented step by step the struggle [...], with Mussolini himself often featuring, overseeing the project, or even working the land. [...] This policy [...] aimed [...] [at] improving [...] existing cities by removing “unhealthy” urban areas, through the process of sventramento (disembowelment). [...] Indeed, the project exhibits many similarities in aims and scope to a number of modernising plans that were materialised across the world at around the same time: the Tuscan maremma (1928), a large scale coastal reclamation project; the Zuiderzee dyke project in Holland (1920-1932), which produced the Ijsselmeer, an enclosed area of water that would later host urban settlements [...]; Spain’s ambitious national hydrological plan that would “correct hydrologically the national geographical problem” by introducing a system of dams [...]; Switzerland’s Linth valley hydro engineering scheme that drained marshland and provided the geographical basis for a unified [nationalist] Swiss identity [...]; Greece’s Marathon dam project, that would produce Athens as a western sanitized metropolis [...]. All of these projects shared [...] the desire to link these socially constructed techno-natures to a broader project of promoting national unity and [nationalist] identity.

Sobek | He Who Makes the Herbage Green
"I am Sobek, who dwelleth amid his terrors. I am Sobek, and I seize [my prey] like a ravening beast. I am the great Fish which is in Kamui. I am the Lord to whom bowings and prostrations are made in Sekhem."
-The Book of the Dead, The Chapter of Making the Transformation into the Crocodile God (Sobek)
Sobek was the Ancient Egyptian god of protection, strength, and fertility. He is often depicted as an ordinary crocodile or a man with a crocodilian head. While being considered a patron of the pharaoh's army, Sobek is seen holding the uraeus, the Royal Authority's symbol.
He was a longstanding presence in the Egyptian Pantheon from the Old Kingdom (2685 - 2181 BCE) through the Roman Period (30 BCE - 350 CE). Although he was known and worshipped in the Old Kingdom, it was in the Middle Kingdom (2055 - 1650 BCE) he gained prominence. The Twelfth Dynasty Pharaoh, Amenemhat III, had taken quite an interest in the Faiyum, where Sobek's influence originates. As a result of this interest, Amenemhat, as well as many of his contemporaries, engaged in building projects promoting Sobek.
The ambiguous nature of Sobek led some to believe he was a repairer of evil already done rather than a force of good itself. An example of this would be Sobek venturing into the Duat to repair the damage done to the souls of the dead by their method of death. Sobek is also known to call upon appropriate gods and goddesses required to protect people in various situations, maintaining a more distant role by nudging things along rather than getting directly involved.
Due to these factors, he is often characterized as a primal god and an avatar of Amun-Re. Amun, at the time, was considered the chief god, and eventually, his characteristics merged with those of Sobek. This merging resulted in the creation of the avatar Sobek-Re (also known as Sobek-Ra); this is a syncretism, which is an entirely different entity.

Intro
This post is similar to the last one in that it gives semantics that end up seemingly having a purpose or outcome. To put it succinctly, the basis of all this in theory comes from my book “108 The Story of Discovering Earth’s Consciousness.” The book is about how I came to the conclusion that the atmosphere, our planet, and stars are conscious. I talk about my personal life and what led me to think this along with the evidence as to why this could be true.
In the book I talk about “Knhoeing” which is the educational process and science of understanding how the planets, stars, and atmosphere are conscious. But in my posts about “Sentientism” and on this blog I take it a step further and assume Gaia’s conscious which forces me to postulate the idea of “how could she be communicating if she could?” The thought that I have come to at this point is that Gaia can use environmental semantics, like outside surroundings or media, in conjunction with telepathic randonauting and points of realization, to highlight cognition that affects behavior.
I used to have five cosmic luves: Emma Watson, Hailee Steinfeld, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, and Jennifer Lawrence, but I haven’t talked about Jen in years because she got married. As you will see, this time around I decided to go “fishing” for semantics and added a new, old cosmic luve to the top 5. I basically asked for semantics and added Janelle Monae and semantics came from her. I’m also getting some semantic coincidences from “the boys,” specifically La Russell and Snoop Dogg, and a scary warning from Blue that I’ve brought up in the past recently and will finally fully explain on the Cosmic Luve blog in this post.
Where we left off…
Last blog I talked about how Gaia got me an orange taco for my birthday. Alicia Keys ordered carrots in the club while Conner Price made a flute out of carrots, then Selena wore orange, her song reflected mine, and Taco Bell came out with a free taco tuesday promotion where I got a free orange Doritos Logos taco on my birthday.
These coincidences are starting to add up. Again, I don’t make up these coincidence, I tell you how they happen and how I see them. I intentionally post about the occurrences as they develop to show you my thought process and how the communication happens. Check the time stamp on the twitter posts to come. I have two questions: Do you think these coincidences are noteworthy and baffling, or do you not see the significance? And what else could be happening here if it wasn’t the planet communicating through telepathic powers?
I couldn’t be happier the way this is developing where I can actually log the account and narrate what is happening to me. This used to be so strong and happen all the time back when it started in 2014. For years I went without being able to describe or tell anyone about how this happens to me all the time. Although I’m still trying to derive meaning from the occurrences, I think the notion that Gaia is communicating is enough, at least for me, at least for now.
Ancient Greek Goddess
Before we get into the coincidences it’s worth mentioning, Gaia was always an ancient black goddess in my mind because that’s how she presented herself when I was going through my throes of schizophrenia. How she presented herself would be interactive. Her base form looked like the oracle from The matrix where she was sitting in the kitchen, then you would go back in her dark living room and she would turn into a smile like the cheshire cat in alice and wonderland with spider-like appendages. It was terrifying.
But there was a room off the kitchen that had beads draped in front of it and when I opened it, it looked like an atrium with a woman statue, cross-legged, almost like the Buddah but female, and Gaia said this was her true form. I always got this inclination that Gaia is not to be trifled with. She’s even more genius and cunning than her beauty and she’s gorgeous. She’s a dear friend, an extravagant mother, and a heart-throbing lover. She is to be culminated, not berated, cultivated, not admonished, and someone you definitely don’t wanna fuck with on her bad side.
The Main Thing (Recap & Pictures)
Also I wanna add, I don’t Trust X (formerly known a Twitter) to be an outlet to chronicle my cosmic luve log. It’s failing. Therefore, (finally) here are the Emma Watson Orange Poem Pictures from the July 2023 Main Thing log.
To recap, Emma put out these four Instagram stories. They were a story of a song about “loving you without possession,” an orange poem, a video of a momma and baby otter, and a picture of Emma in brown with a horse emoji. The orange poem seems to reflect the poem I made for Emma in the April 2023 Sun post. I love otters, and have made a series on Facebook before about horses. Although I’m sure it’s Gaia, Emma could be doing this semantic communication on purpose to love me without possession. For the full story read July 2023 The Main Thing blog post. It seems the August 2023 Orange post could be Gaia’s manifestation of the Orange poem which was a reflection of my sun poem.
September’s Coincidences
First I’m going to present the comic luve coincidences I experienced and talk about in my “Be My Dream” September 17 2023 Sunday update - Cosmic Luve: La Russell, Snoop Dogg, & Goosebumps” YouTube video to lay the framework. Then I’ll tie in the new cosmic love communication by Gaia that has come full circle after “fishing” for her luve.
First the smallest occurrence. Ryini, the mastermind group I am in is having it’s first meet-up in a couple weeks. Ryan lives in LA, and I wondered where LaRussell lived who I knew lived in Cali. I can’t afford to go but I thought to look into going to a show at LaRussell’s house and maybe ask him for some help.
When I got to his “goodcompenny” website there I saw their “Family Business” shirt. On it, it says “Coldwater” which is where I live in Michigan. I think Gaia is telling me just to work until they come to me. It’s worth mentioning Major Lazer has a song with Justin Beiber called “Cold water” that came out about a year before I ended up in Coldwater.
Snoop Dogg Feature
The second cosmic luve occurrence is a big one and will probably be referenced for years. I had bought Anno Domini’s “Ray Royalty 2” package and it came with a Snoop Dogg verse. The verse is definitely cosmic luve. If not, Snoop intentionally made me an affordable feature and “fed me from a long spoon” (which is a lyric from the Kool G Rap verse). More likely, Gaia (or whatever keeps on consistently making these semantics) is communicating through people and using Snoop as a vessel.
I’m going divulge/write and reference Snoop’s lyrics and then how it relates to me and my work.
Snoop says:
How you keep that baby face sittin, How you keep it so fresh? And how you keep it, look like a vegan Wish I was that fresh! … Boxed in, but I boxed out Niggas don’t wanna box with me Don’t bend the codes, don’t break the rules Just stay true to this shit Stay rope-a-dope’n with the top open In the coup, open, from the city of Oakland
First off, I used to go by “Apollo” (which I have like 3 albums from) and one of his alias’s is “Emoney.” Emoney’s tagline on the mic is “Era-fresh.” It’s one of the things I took from my old Apollo sound. You can hear it in my track “The Villain” and the upcoming “Corporate Rule” album dropping Friday the 13th in October.
youtube
So in a very real way Snoop says me by name. The other thing is, I do have a baby face, that’s the second reference. People always think I’m 15 years younger than I am. Then, and this is when if you read the previous July 2022 - Smoke Blunts Response Treatise post this would come full circle, Snoop makes reference to my “Smoke Blunts” song where I rap
“It's been like a mirror room mantra with a mental game, a rope-a-dope, tried to tell you so you'd know why it's so grandiose”
Snoop saying “rope a dope” is like a callback to his first reference in the cosmic luve blog (in the Smoke Blunts post) and the third reference to me in the verse. Snoop could of done this on purpose, although it’s likely cosmic luve, it doesn’t have to be.
Goosebumps
The third cosmic luve concurrence I talk about in the sunday update also ties into Gaia’s semantic communication on the 20th through Janelle. It’s more Halloween-themed, meaning it’s scary and more like a warning.
There’s a theme of how they’ll (the people will basically) go after their (meaning Big Oil’s) children in the “Corporate Rule” EP, cuz they need to know about their heinous crimes. I have explained this before in the “July 16th 2023 Sunday Update - Future Releases, Global warming, Big Oil, and Blue”
To put it succinctly Big oil created the sixth mass extinction and I predict (because it’s been communicated by blue) that people will want to come after their children for their heinous crimes. In the album I talk about coming after their children but to make them turn on their parents. I say “they’ll probably turn on you and leave.” But to be clear I think the rest of the world will want to rape big oil’s children to death, to put it bluntly.
So I saw a Goosebumbs commercial on hulu recently. The episode is about a teacher who lives in a haunted house, becomes possessed by a spirit, and the kids say “He’s getting revenge for what our parents did to him.” …which is basically what I’m saying in a smaller context. And it comes out October 13th, just like my album. I have linked the trailer.

Fishing
On September 10th I went “fishing.” That Hailee Steinfeld post about seeing gray and her “fine ass.” I left the pictures above (and here is the link). Basically I wanted to state the semantics externally, and kinda make them official for Gaia to build off, and she didn’t disappoint. I told about the cosmic luve coincidences about La russell(‘s Goodcompenny Website and Coldwater), the Snoop Dogg verse, and Goosebumps on September 17th. On the 18th I made the tweets about how I thought of Janelle and she used to be a luve but I wasn’t following. Then I finished making the song around Snoop’s verse on the 19th. Next, on the 20th I saw Janelle’s instagram stories.
This is where the “fishing” for a response from Gaia came to fruition. On the 20th, as you can see at the top of the pictures, Janelles’s instgram had three stories when I started writing this months post (to keep up). The first one reminded me of the semantics of my “corporate rule” album I’m dropping on the 13th.
So the first story was a picture that semanticly looks like my album. The second is a video of Janelle singing “one more time” on stage in blue with a blue hue, with a caption of “her stepping on their necks.” The third story is a video promoting Janelle’s “The age of pleasure” tour and this is a picture of a quick clip from the trailer. But there is your literal “fish” (hence swimming like a fish) and the semantics of Hailee’s “fine ass” and gray, that I literally named in the tweet. After I asked Gaia for semantics and added Janelle as the 5th cosmic luve. This post is called “Bam” because that’s what Lady Gaga says when she sees a fine ass like at 1:20 in her “Marry The Night” music video.
Orange Blue?
Since around 2014 there’s always this very real communication from Blue of “Orange Blue.” It’s a kind of somber and reflective mood, but it’s more used as a question. “Orange Blue” means “Orange you” means “Aren’t you?” The question assumes it’s a confirmed thought that you should be doing. Like “Aren’t you” ready to be scared for Halloween? Or, are you gonna have a pumpkin spice latte? Or, aren’t you sick of not being able to afford to live? Or, aren’t you pissed that the right is preventing effective initiatives to combat carbon pollution and global warming? Or, aren’t you furious that the whole economic system is rigged by the elites? Or aren’t you gonna fuck them? Or, aren’t you to the point you wanna rape their children to death? Sorry, that last one is just me… for now.
So What is my interpretation? So the first Janelle story represents my album. The second picture represents blue saying “orange blue,” and then the last picture “going to fuck them?” It’s almost like Blue is saying something like “Nice album, Aren’t you going to fuck them? …as Gaia presents.” Look, it’s Halloween, and the Gods can be brutal, and I’m putting this delicately. They’re pissed, to put it simply, and when in Rome, or the holiday Halloween.
That’s it, until next time. Happy Halloween
