Made a little ficlet about teacher au Geto getting a cold while Gojo is out on a mission! It's pure fluff and can be found on ao3 or below if you don't wanna go off-site :) (written for @uotuok my partner in crime who deserves all the love. Go look at her art its INCREDIBLE)

A/n this is sett when the kids are like 13/14 so Megumi is still in middle school and getting into fights which Gojo and Geto try v hard not to encourage. The twins and Tsumiki go to the same school. Geto left the JuJutsu world of missions when he met the twins and has only started teaching now that the kids are a lot older.

*********************

Satoru stepped into the entrance of their home and called out. 

“Honey I'm home!” He was met instead with silence and a distant sound of coughing. He frowned taking his jacket off and hanging it up, changing to his slippers. Where was his honey, he was home godammit! 

He noted the mess on the stairs and their entrance hallway of teenage sneakers and sighed as he put on his slippers. 

It was unlike Suguru to not call back a cheerful Satoru~! Or even meet him at the front door. He turned into the living room to see a bomb site of a mess and one very tired sniffling Suguru sat under their Kotatsu. 

“Hi” he croaked. 

Satoru got to his knees in front of him and put his hands on his face, his cheeks were roasting. His cute nose red and sore from blowing it with tissues and his beautiful brown eyes puffy. Satoru felt a panic spike in his chest, he had been gone for a week. Had his mental health gotten bad again, why hadn't Shoko messaged him? Why hadn't the kids?? 

“Oh baby what happened?” 

“Kids got me sick. Don't you'll catch it” Suguru sniffed before erupting into coughs. Satoru sighed relieved, a cold he could deal with, the idea of Suguru alone and drowning without him there to help pull him up haunted him after their teenage years. 

“Where are the kids?” 

Suguru erupted into coughs before answering “Tsumiki is at her friend's studying, Megumi is at an “after school club” but I think he's fighting again and the twins are in Harajuku shopping. They may or may not have your credit card, I'll admit I've not been on top of it. They only got this cold for like a day but Ive been sick since Tuesday” he groaned. “I'm sorry, the house is a tip”  

“Why didn't you call Shoko to come fix this love?” Satoru said gently stroking his check with his thumb.

“Tried, she's too busy. It's her weekend away with Utahime” he grumbled. He laid his head on the table. “ Stupid lesbians” 

Satoru stroked his hair which clung to his face limply, lacking it's usual shine and chuckled. Poorly Suguru was always a little dramatic, Satoru hadn't seen him like this since the early days of getting the kids when they had started new schools together and had brought home every sickness bug under the sun. Satoru had been unaffected with his limitless and RCT Suguru on the other hand had walled himself in their bedroom only letting Shoko in to fix him from the stomach bugs that plagued them, refusing to let Satoru see him in all his vomiting glory. Satoru had pointed out he had seen him barf after curse swallowing plenty of times but Suguru had maintained his distance nonetheless. 

Satoru kissed his head gently. 

“Ok baby, you stay there. I'll fix this.” He said but Suguru was already closing his eyes. 

It took about 15 minutes to set the bath and make a tea but when he came back Suguru was still laying there looking almost pathetically unwell. 

“Up we go sweetheart” Satoru said lifting him easily. Suguru barely fought him and wrapped his arms around his neck letting his husband carry him up to the bathroom. Steam and the smell of lavender arose from the room as Satoru gently undressed him and helped him step into the water. He sighed at the heat before swallowing the cold medicine he offered with a peppermint tea. 

“How's it feeling?” 

“My whole body aches but this is good” Suguru sighed as Satoru began to gently wet and wash his hair with his special shampoo. 

“I'm sorry I'm not ready to go to pound town like we promised” Suguru sniffed. Satoru laughed. 

“I can pound you all you want later or vice versa. For now let me take care of you my love” he said kissing his husbands forehead. Suguru nodded, coughing again as Satoru rolled his sleeves up and got his hands deep into Suguru's hair massaging out what he could of his headache. 

“You shouldn't kiss me you'll get sick” 

“I can't get sick but I'll happily try” Satoru smiled, giving his husband a few more kisses for good measure. Once he was satisfied with Suguru's sleepy expression and his hair shone, Satoru kissed him again and left the room promising to come back shortly. 

He surveyed the living room first making short work of the mess of tissues and takeaway boxes on the side, loading the dishwasher and chucking in the clothes Suguru had been wearing to the washing machine and turning it on. He then worked his way through the hallways, picking up the twins' items; they tended to leave their stuff everywhere unlike their sister Tsumiki who always kept neat and tidy,  Mimiko tended to leave stuffies and books she had been reading wherever she sat whereas Nanako’s main offenders were bobby pins, hair ties and weird variations of spicy crisps. He binned the rubbish, bundled the items together and took them to their room, making a note to remind them to tidy it up later. Sure he was messy but he still had standards, he grimaced at their shared bathroom and the hairs on the shower wall deciding this was definitely a task for them and not their parents. He checked in on Megumi and Tsumiki’s room and found them spotless as always, smiling as he left the corridor and made his way to his and Suguru's floor of the house which contained their bedroom, bathroom and home office. 

He listened in for a moment to their bathroom and heard gentle snoring from his partner and smiled as he left him to rest for a moment. 

Their bedroom was a bit worse, it was clear while he had been away that Suguru’s health had taken a toll, he had gotten into a habit of coming home and immediately dumping his clothes/bag on their floor and getting straight into bed which was currently in disarray. Satoru opened the window and tried not to feel too guilty, it was part of their agreement now in exchange for Suguru leaving the Jujutsu world (aside from teaching) and missions behind him Gojo had to take on more which meant sometimes he would be away for a week or longer, sure he missed going on missions but he'd rather a happy Suguru any day of the week and normally his time away allowed them to really miss each other and get all ramped up and grabby the moment they got each other alone. 

He picked up the several days worth of clothes that lay stranded, changed their bedsheets and repositioned Suguru's book pile on his side of the bed, binning the tissues and replacing the glass of water with a fresh drink too. Lastly he picked a pair of soft, clean pyjamas for them both and stripped off himself. 

Suguru opened his eyes a little as he entered the bathroom and Satoru gently lifted him forward as he slid in the large bath behind him. He sighed adding more hot water as Suguru’s head rested against his chest, their legs entangling in the water as he wrapped his arms around him and held him tight. Suguru settled against him as Satoru stroked along his arms and chest. 

“Sorry” 

“Dont be sorry for being poorly-” 

“I'm sorry for not telling you” Suguru said quietly. “Its embarrassing, you and Shoko can use RCT and I get knocked out by a basic cold.”

Satoru tilted his head to kiss him. 

“You don't need to be sorry, I love you, you look after everyone you're gonna have to accept that you need looking after too and I'm more than happy to do it.” 

Suguru smiled gently and laid back against him, stroking his husband's arms under the water. 

“How are you feeling now?” Satoru asked and Suguru hummed. 

“Better, but then with you I always do” 

They settled, embracing the heat of the water and each other, napping a little. Later when Gojo lifted him out and dressed him in pyjamas and gently dried his hair they would remark on the pruning of their fingers and Satoru would make them all chicken ramen for dinner and Suguru would fill him in on all the school gossip and Satoru would present him with the souvenirs he had gotten him before the kids got home and bombarded him for hugs (including begrudgingly Megumi) but for now they were sated, warm and safe in each others company. Satoru smiled, happy to be home.

Satosugu Hurt/Comfort + Fluff

@get0suguru I said I would so here it is !

Honestly, I don't think I'll write an entire fic but I need to get the ideas out of my head. Feel free to use this for your inspiration (and send me the link please !)

This is not properly written, this was a bullet list of ideas and I just took off the bullets because the paragraph became longer and longer and it was a mess. Feel free to use this for your own inspiration (and please send me the link if you publish something) !

English isn't my first language and I'm very tired, sorry for the mistakes.

Geto Suguru & Gojo Satoru - 3rd year students

After Riko's death, Suguru slowly starts to spiral and question his role in the world, while Satoru starts training more and more alone and is sent on solo missions. The encounter with Yuki worsens Suguru's state.

Satoru notices that something's wrong and invites Suguru to eat something with him. Suguru feels a bit better when those blue eyes are looking at him. They make the habit of sharing a meal whenever they can.

They spend more and more time away from each other and Suguru's still spiraling, but every time they manage to meet, he allows himself to enjoy the life he has a little bit. Those blue eyes might be worth the pain.

Haibara dies and Suguru's hate for non-sorcerer is growing even quicker than before. He wonders why he's still there trying to protect them. He doesn't want to risk his life for them. He doesn't want to lose his friends for them.

A few days after that, Satoru finds his friend standing alone in the gymnasium. "You look like you're going to disappear." Suguru doesn't look at him when he answers "I'm so tired. I don't think I can keep going on." Satoru hugs him desperatly "Please stay with me. I'll figure things out, I'll make it easier for you, I'll give you everything. Stay for me. Please."

-Alternative to the emotional moment because Gojo won't act serious if he's not forced to (and because I don't know which dialogue I prefer)- Satoru, half-joking : "You look like a ghost, like you could disappear anytime." Suguru, not looking at him : "Maybe I can. Maybe I will. I can't find anything worth the sacrifice, I can't bring myself to be happy in this world." Satoru, rolling his eyes like the dramaking he is : "Duh, I'm here idiot ! Am I not the source of your happiness ? Am I not the best thing that happened in your life ? Am I not the one who brings a smile on your pretty face ? Don't you dare say that nothing in this world can make you happy when you're friend with me, dumbass !" Suguru is speechless, then he laughs and Satoru's proud to be right. Suguru calls him an idiot, but he agrees.

They're even closer than before now, always touching some part of their skin whenever they're together, and Satoru constantly reminds Suguru that everything will be fine as long as they stay together. He says things like "Look at me, I'm here." and "Can you stay for me ?" and "Remember that you're not alone" and "Just try to endure it a bit longer, I'm with you" every now and then. It gives Suguru the strength to keep going day by day despite his deep disgust with the jujutsu world.

Sometimes, Satoru is away for a long time, and Suguru is alone with the disgusting taste of the curses he has to swallow. He feels sick and awful, and he's so close to giving up everything. Satoru calls him when he can but he won't be back soon. He makes him promise to wait, and Suguru's not sure if he can do it. So Suguru crashes into Satoru's room and spends the entire time in the bed, which smells like Satoru. It helps.

One time they're cuddling in Suguru's bed (because Satoru decided he would sleep there that night) and Suguru grows an obsession with Satoru's small waist. Like, he can't stop touching it, it's driving him insane, he feels so high, like he just took every drug existing. Of course Satoru notices "Is that me or are you having an existential crisis over my waist ?" but of course it doesn't bother him at all. Now he uses this too as an argument to make Suguru stay at the school : "You can't live without my perfect body. Can you imagine running away and not being able to touch me anymore ?" The worst part is that it works.

Suguru saves the twins and kills the two adults who were accusing them, but he restrains himself from destroying the whole village. Instead, he calls Satoru who immediately teleports there despite being on a mission elsewhere. Satoru covers the crime scene and tells Suguru to pretend that the two non-sorcerers got killed during the fight against the curse. It's classified as collateral damage. The two of them bring Mimiko and Nanako to the school and teach them about the curses and the exorcists.

Now, Suguru has two more reasons to stay. He's still depressed and he still hates the monkeys, but he starts to believe that things would end up fine. He has people to protect now, he has people to love. He can fight for that.

When they graduate, Satoru and Suguru move out of the school with twins, and they take Megumi and Tsukimi with them.

[virgobingo]

i love ur stsg takes so i was wondering if u have any fave fics of them that you would rec?

i don't read as many fanfics as i used to bc i got out of the habit when i worked at a library up til recently? (been reading books) so i only have a few suggestions unfortunately. nothing too crazy.

i think the common thread between all the ones i like are gojo being pretty vocal about his feelings..

anyways remember to mind the tags on ao3:

rating: teen and up

• river of light (that brings me to you)

one-shot

it's hard for ppl to not have heard of this fic? but i'll include it bc it scratched an itch. i always hc'd geto as a shoegaze fan. gojo as more of a pop guy that would listen to hikaru utada. so it was cool to read a fic by someone that also shared these thoughts.

gojo takes the "lead" here — romantically, btw. and it's also essentially a character study. +the fic author is japanese so they're writing from their own experiences which makes for a lovely story that's rooted in their culture

rating: mature

• (when facing) the things we turn away from

complete, chapter fic

in contrast, it's stsg in an american setting? the author makes it work really well. and i've actually been meaning to re-read it because i remember feeling so many things from it because geto's troubles were really relatable to me and gojo was soo charming.

**both fics also have fantastic playlists btw, if you're the type of person that also lives for music.

the lovely @thequeenofsarcaasm gifted me a fic recently too so check it out haha currently in progress: love is in the hands it's also rated mature and it's about geto and gojo reconnecting + found family ♡

rating: explicit 🌶

• head under water [goge]

can be read as a standalone

trans suguru ♡ very special to me. geto calls gojo while he's trying to raise money for his cult. gojo swoops in and they go to his apartment. from then on.. it really just has all the things i like. there's also a lot of emotions involved it made tear up from everything i was feeling.

• soon as the light [gego]

one-shot

featuring public exhibition/geto's cult. yeah it's steamy but i also just really liked gojo's characterization here. this is one of the few bottom gojo fics that i remember was really appealing to me.

[ olive ]  what gives you the most inspiration for your muse(s)? & [ cerulean ]  what is your favorite ( type of ) character to write?

[ olive ]  what gives you the most inspiration for your muse(s)?

Funny enough, Ludovico Einaudi's Experience. I like the full range of emotion this particular piece gives me. The crescendo'ing violins, often give me chills, the way I can envision one of my muses goging through hardships, doing something gratifuing, having a moment of heartbreak. All of it is encompassed in this piece and ugh, I can never get enough of it. Refreshing my knowledge on said canon muses also helps. When it comes to my OCs, it's more so the why of me creating them, what inspired their existence and then being able to add and modify their story. What makes them tick? What would they do in an impossible situation? What their morals were like ? All of this goes into inspiration.

[ cerulean ]  what is your favorite ( type of ) character to write?

Muses who would burn the world for their person. Whose sole loyalty is tied into discovering what their hard limits are and what they would do to keep anyone, even family from crossing those boundaries. I like muses who question the right and wrong in the world, who are able to see the gray areas because not everything is so straight forward. I like kind muses who have a spine of steel, and often don't think they deserve much at all, but would go through any length to ensure their friends and special people are safe. I'm all for taking muses with little info about them and giving them depth, it just gets my creative juices flowing.

Higher than the Stars worldbuilding notes

Mostly gender wordbuilding because of who I am

The Imperium isn't really a matriarchy in the traditional "inverted patriarchy" sense, it's more like a world where "girlboss feminism" is the predominant social organization.

Leadership and war are gendered as feminine but a lot of the aesthetic signifiers of womanhood are the same, and there's a lot of deep constraints around acceptable feminine behaviour

I have semi-facetiously described at least Ishtar and maybe the other AU primarchs as "Rose Brides that get to kill things"

The idea that war and leadership are things for women is very much tied to motherhood, mother bear stereotypes, etc.

The way a commander treats her women is absolutely seen as a motherly thing; There's also a fetishization of "natural", "traditional" motherhood too, especially in the "have a daughter to carry on your legacy of combat and glory"

Yes, this cult of warlike motherhood is centred around a woman who made 20 daughters in a lab all by herself don't think about it too hard.

There are men in all branches of the military but it's rare for them to reach leadership positions

The exception is the Adeptus Sororitas: the Ministerium used to have a mixed-gender military until the Goge Vandire thing happened and the upper echelons went "well, clearly men can't be trusted with religious warfare"

You're allowed to be trans if you're willing to stick to gender roles so if you come out as a trans woman you're probably sent to the front for Gender Affirming Trench Warfare

Similarly, there's enough emphasis on some form of the nuclear family that lesbians end up filtered into the military to fulfill "woman's work" that way

The Astartes are mixed-gender in this au, and they occupy a really weird space in the Imperium; female Astartes are sterile, male astartes are killing things, none of them present right.

I don't know how much of this is consciously created by the Empress in-universe. On one hand, I don't like to assign social systems to a single person, but on the other hand, the Last Church is one of my favourite pieces of canon writing and "Religion has been the cause of all of humanity's problems, I'll replace it with a secular cult of personality centered on me" absolutely does lead to "the problem with humanity's history is that none of these imperialist colonial projects had woman at the head"

12 and 17 for the writers' thingy ^°^

12. Tell you about a WIP I’m excited about...

Good lord. I have like 5 that I am STOKED about. 7 actually. Three are collabs with other writers *cough* @omgitscharlie, @sapphirestarxx  and @fawn-eyed-girl *cough* Andddddddd actually---in celebration of reaching 500 followers I’m only 16 away! I was goging to open a pole and see which multi-chapter WIP everyone wants to see next anddddddd which one they’d like me to do a collab with art!!!

Cinderella-- Popstar AU Where Kikyo is a popstar and is tired of the innocent look and decides she wants to break her contract only to realize she could never afford to do so. She pleads with her twin, Kagome, to take her spot who agrees. What Kagome doesn’t realize is all there was going into being a Popstar, including the hott dancer Inuyasha who her sister was fake-dating. (This idea kinda keeps evolving the more I plot so it may be different when it is written)

Whispers-- Ghost AU Back to InuKag Week 2020 @keichanz and @cstormsinukagblog wrote Ghost AUs... and I was like OMG I need to write the one I want to do!---Kagome has been seeing spirits since she was 13. Her best friend Miroku also suffers from the same affliction. Her mother moves her and her brother in with grandfather to their family shrine once her dad passes when she’s 16. There, she meets the ghost that haunts her bedroom, Inuyasha. But it is far from love at first sight--def enemies to lovers fic. (there’s a preview to this in my inukag week too.... HERE!)

River-- Egyptian AU @lemonlushff I know you mentioned you were thirsty for this fic! This one is where Kagome is pulled from modern Japan into a well and ends up in the care of the Prince Inuyasha. Can they return her to her era? Or will she be stuck as a concubine to the prince? (there won’t be an non-con elements so no worries)

A New World-- A Pocahontas AU. Demons had adapted and modernized with other humans while spiritualist fled to new lands to continue their worship of gods and land. Some of the demons thing they are hiding something precious and powerful and go in search of it! What Inuyasha wasn’t expecting to find, was love with the miko, Kagome. @neutronstarchild helped me hammer this b word out!

I’ll probably make the poll to vote in the next week or so (depends on if more people follow me sooner than later) but I also wanted to finish Shelter before dipping my foot in anymore of these---especially if it is an artist collab.

17. A trope I’ll never write.

Anything with abuse or rape. Not my thing.

Thanks for the asks @purringkirara from the FanFic Writer’s Questions.

teacher AU totally dumb ficlet for fun

The worst arguments that have happened in the satosugu house ranked.

5. Aged 11 Nanako and Mimiko turned Geto's shirt pink in the wash and blamed Megumi. They had to be separated at dinnertime because Megumi pulled out Rabbit Escape and swarmed the front room with rabbits that kicked Nanako and Mimiko in the face. Gojo held Megumi in the air stopping him from pulling Mahoraga while Geto held the twins on the table. Tsumiki sat at the table petting one of the rabbits. Dinner was ruined. No cursed techniques were allowed in the house after that and the twins and Megumi were sent to their rooms. Tsumiki finished her dinner and continued to pet the rabbit unbothered.She named it floppy because of its notable ear difference.

4. Megumi pretended Gojo was invisible for a week and didn't exist because he kept coming to pick him up from school in clothes matching his despite being asked not to. Megumi was 8 and it hurt Gojo deeply especially when Geto found it incredibly funny and started doing it too. Gojo did not enjoy this and apologised properly to Megumi.

3. Megumi defaced Nanako's BTS posters drawing moustaches on them all after she kept putting pictures of sea urchins online and tagging him as it. Geto and Gojo established a "no going into each other's bedrooms" rule which worked until the twins room got into such a state that their dad's had to intervene and amend the rule that people shouldn't go into each other's rooms for nefarious reasons. Retrieving laundry should be allowed.

2. Gojo and Geto had been known to bicker from time to time however they had had few genuine arguments. Geto binned a hoard of Gojo's sweet wrappers he was storing in a drawer without asking. Gojo was hoarding them to enter a competition with the details on the back and receive a life supply of the mochi brand.

Gojo yelled at him for binning his stuff without asking.

Geto said he wouldn't have to if Gojo tidied up after himself instead of leaving a wake of soft drink cans and wrappers throughout the house like a child.

Gojo asked if he had married a fucking tanuki since he seemed to love going through his garbage so much.

They spent a day not talking to each other and directing comments to their kids like "Tsumiki can you tell your dad to pass the ketchup" Tsumiki stood up and yelled that they were both acting like children and ran upstairs. The shock that Tsumiki could yell ended their argument.

1. Gojo put Geto's cast iron pan in the dishwasher.

It was a genuine mistake but Geto still took it v personally. Gojo offered to get him a new one, Geto enraged said that not everything could be fixed with goddamn money and that the pan was the first piece of kitchenware he had brought himself with his money as a sorcerer and had cared for since the age of 14 and that it just represented an ongoing argument between them that Gojo treated everything trivially that it could be fixed with money rather than communicate and treat things with care. Gojo said he didn't like that he saw him like that.

Geto said he should try thinking about things from other people's perspective then. Gojo scrunched his nose but took a moment.

"Then show me. I don't get it, I don't work like that but I don't want to live like this and hurt the people I love."

Geto stared at him for a moment and then gave him a kiss before showing him how to care for the pan properly with oil, putting it in the oven, explaining how it worked. Gojo listened intently and after that never made the same mistake again. He also started therapy. He knew Geto was right, when you can use infinity everyday things seemed trivial but the look on Geto's face when he was upset was enough to make him want to adapt and learn.

(Bonus: Tsumiki once kicked over a laundry basket in a fit of tiny 7 year old rage. Geto tried hard not to laugh at her adorable anger as Gojo spoke with her and she revealed that it wasn't fair that she had to be perfect while everyone else was able to be naughty and she didn't like it and didn't want to keep being good. They told her she was a child and was allowed to express her emotions so long as she wasn't hurting her self or family members and no one wanted her to be good, they wanted her to be Tsumiki and happy to be so. Tsumiki said good and that she wouldnt bottle it up anymore.

At dinnertime she stood and politely said that she hated peas and didn't like the way Gojo cooked potatoes. She sat down and then burst into tears and said she had gone to far in expressing her emotions. Gojo and Geto instantly pulled her in for cuddles. Megumi said she could have gone further and that all of Gojo's food sucked. Gojo called his comments rude and unnecessary. Megumi rolled his eyes and ate his peas.)

[ask-mortarion-the-death-lord]

ooc: though i hardly ever actually write anything out, i do jot down ideas for larger fics a lot. Recently had an idea of sorts for a sioc fic (cause im fukin 14 i guess), and with it came some space marine warband and chapter ideas. for your enjoyment/possible derision i have decided to post the couple ive written out and fleshed out a bit in my head so far.

enjoy, if only in mockery

wolves of the eye - sons of horus, undivided. A splinter from the black legion that consider themselves more pure then their parent warband and thus the rightful inheritors to horuses ideals. In truth their geneseed is actually more tainted then the black legions is on average, though this is a fact closely held as secret by the warbands leaders and surgeons. instead they institute a sort of genetic hierarchy within the warband, primarily through designation of the larger number of non horus geneseed descended astartes as second to the ruling horus descended ones. thus the warband hierarchy could be said to begin with sons of horus at the top, the dark mecahnicus clients second due to their usefulness, astartes descended from other traitor legions third, and fourth being loyalist descended astartes. Below even the loyalist descended however are the ‘chimera’ astartes, born from the same practices that wrought the Chymeriae during the horus heresy, chimera astartes are those whos implements and gene seed can best be described as spliced together, often from whatever ‘spare parts’ happen to be lying around in the wolves of the eye’s case. these chimera form the crux of the wolves of the eyes rank and file astartes, due to the low success rate of the wolves own geneseed and the general infrequency they pull new recruits from other legions or renegade loyalists. these chimera astartes are derided as half breeds by their superiors, pushed into the meatgrinder or pulled as a sacrifice to the gods when regular human cultists arent up to the demanding standards of the wolves of the eye. this is the best many of the chimera can hope for however, as most chimera geneseed is highly unstable, though the surgeons are careful to use chimera geneseed with a reasonable degree of longevity, and dying in battle or begin sacrificed to the gods is often far more preferable then some of the mutated messes their fellow chimeras spontaneously or slowly degrade into. The wolves of the eye would eventually find themselves as targets of the grey knights, and after a long chase and being whittled down by their persistent hunters would see near total destruction at the hands of the grey knights. save for one chimera.

bolters of oboron - ultramarine, undivided. a recently renegade ultramarines successor chapter, its leader oboron slaughtered the majority of his home chapter before instigating a tyrannical rule on his home world. Marines from the nova marines chapter were thankfully on hand to push oboron off before his home world was completely irrecoverable. This irritated oboron, especially since a new chapter descended form the nova marines was placed in charge of his home world. as such he plans to rouse a force large enough to take back his home world, gathering what survivors he has from the 4th, 5th, and 8th company, the main ones who rebelled with him to begin with, and making plans to earn a name for himself in the eye of terror. these plans are cut short by the sioc who slaughters oboron and his command staff causing the warband to splinter.

dark chimeras - mixed, renegade. the sioc, well not intentionally, founds the dark chimeras. or rather, the stragglers picked up behind them end up founding it for them. the warband itself follows a strict edit of hatred towards chaos and its weakness, though they dont disparage the use of the warp. instead they use ancient xenos warpcraft left behind by an extinct xeno society and picked up on the behest of the sioc's talking xeno sword. By channeling the warp into those artifacts they can safely use the warp without bowing to chaos or the imperium of man. rather rag tagged in its composition, being a collective of out of placers and weirdos in its inception. Pioneered in part because of the collaboration between the sioc, fabius bile, and the dark chimeras future master surgeon. generally look down on those legions who utilize slaves, seeing it as more inefficient then the more familial style of organization and relation between astartes and the dark chimeras human workers.

terrible slaughter - night lords, khorne. night lords splinter band dedicated to khorne. they split from the night lords as a collective because of their dedication to khornes worship. known for especially over eager slaughters of anyone they can get their hands on, they discard the stealth their parent legion is known for in favor of brutal oppressive melee and more straight forward terror campaigns. the first major opponents the dark chimeras face as an official warband, they triumph over the terrible slaughter destroying the depraved warband to the last astarte.

murderous talon - emperors children/chimera, slaanesh/renegade. straining for resources and with few allies even from their own parent legion, the excessive indulgences of the murderous talon warband have considerably toned down as they struggle to survive. as such they have what few surgeons they have left working round the clock to produce chimera geneseed from the scraps the warband has left to pull from. steadily lost faith in slaanesh and have begun disavowing chaos, which in part has caused their problems to get worse as the chaos gods punish them for their lose of faith in them. Lacking in resources and having no legion veterans and relics to their name, the murderous talons remnants would eventually be absorbed into the dark chimeras warband after their head surgeon cast his lot in with the sioc, bringing with them their knowledge in noise weaponry and stims though retooled to the beliefs of the dark chimeras.

angels of bubonic - blood angels, nurgle. a recently renegaded force from a blood angels successor chapter, they were corrupted by pox plagues with only a scant few of the warband retaining individual sentience and the other astartes being little better then poxwalkers or other zombie strains. infect the sioc's birth world with nurgles diseases before getting in a tussle with the dark chimeras and murderous talons allied force. Well they put up a hell of a fight, angels of bubonic effectively have their leaders slain and the surviving plague zombies mercy killed.

blood owls - ultramarines, compliant. a loyalist fleet based chapter currently caught up in omegoros genocide, a conflict and purge that has lasted since the chapters inception during the reign of blood. during this time the omegoros system was designated as heretical by goge vandire, and the blood owls who were created from a pilgrim fleet fanatically devoted to goge vandire were tasked with the purge. unfortunately for the blood owls the omegoros system is a largely hive dominated one with absurdly high birth rates, and when the purges began local priests of the ecchlissiarch rallied the citizens to resist the unjust purge. wherever or not the purge is justified has largely been lost over the years as both sides become embittered and distrustful. Any attempt to intervene in the conflict has largely ended in failure as either the two sides temporarily unite to push out the intruders, or outside forces intervene for reasons known only to them. On top of that the blood owls refusal to deviate from the codex in any way means that they have never sufficiently raised the forces needed to accomplish their mission, and their tactics have largely become highly predictable for the omegoros resistance. The blood owls would see final defeat and total annihilation after the brief interference of the sioc on his way to locating relics of the sword, their battle barge and effective fortress monastery destroyed during combat over the relic the blood owls had happened to stumble on. the omegoros system meanwhile would immediately find itself subject to attacks from the imperial guard tasked to finally reclaim the system.

Sororitas Rewrite Part 2/???

The history of the Adepta Sororitas as an organization is well known, and an exhaustive re-telling of that story is not the intention here, especially since what is known is essentially the whole truth.

During the Age of Apostasy, the Adeptus Custodes smuggled Alicia Dominica and four of her sisters into the chamber of the Golden Throne. What transpired there is not fully known, though it's clear that the Emperor invested Dominica with a portion of his power, exalting her unto a status above mortals. Exiting the Golden Throne, she confronted Goge Vandire, condemned him to death, and cut off his head.

Although she lacked their superhuman physical prowess and genetic augments, it was clear that in her own way, Dominica had become the spiritual equivalent of a Primarch, and though she was the first to receive a blessing of such terrifying might, she was not the first woman to be transformed in such a way by the Emperor of Mankind.

Victors In The Midst Of Strife

The Adepta Sororitas are the all-female military wing of the Ecclesiarchy. They are warriors first, though they have Orders who serve as hospitallers, as well as sages, advisors, relic hunters, demonologists, and translators. While a great number of mortal men and women serve the Orders of the Adepta Sororitas, the Sisters themselves are something greater than human. The are heirs to the Emperor's spiritual legacy, in the same manner the Adeptus Astartes are heirs to his genetic one. What they lack in superhuman physical prowess they make up for in righteousness, devotion, and their unique ability to channel holy powers.

The process by which women are chosen and transformed remains a mystery, even in the modern day, and even to the Custodes and technicians who serve the Golden Throne directly. However, after delving into the past, scholars have discovered indications that the Emperor created Sorortias (though they were called by different titles) to be his bodyguards, allies, and companions throughout every era of history.

The Adepta Sororitas are similar to the Adeptus Astartes, but different in key ways.

All Sororitas are female. Much in the same manner that all Astartes are male, and geneseed will reject a female host - the power fragment that the Emperor uses to elevate a Sister cannot, for reasons that no one has yet figured out, bond with a male host. However, that is not to say there are no Sororitas who are men or masculine-identifying. The Imperium, both modern and historical, has no history of prejudice or social stigma against trans and gender non-conforming individuals, and both are welcome within Sororitas ranks.

Sororitas are human beings. When a Sororitas becomes a host for a fragment of the Emperor’s power, the person she was previously is not erased. She changes without changing, and she does not forget her family, friends, loved ones, or parents. Her personality, emotions, and desires may shift slightly as her worldview expands and heightens, but largely, they remain intact. At the end of the process, she is clearly herself and identifiable as such.

Sororitas lack the bodily augments, superhuman physical might, and additional organs present in the Adeptus Astartes. Although they do not shun mental or physical modifications and prosthetics (but this can vary from Order-to-Order), their bodies are no more capable of supporting extensive modification than the bodies of regular humans. It should be noted however, that as part of their transformation, Sororitas are often left in peak physical condition, and any Sororitas traveling the Imperium has spent either years or decades being trained in both hand-to-hand combat and the arts of warfare. They are terrifying opponents, and are often victorious in battle, even when facing enemies they were not specifically created to oppose.

Sororitas have a divine mandate to use the Emperor’s power. This holy power can manifest in different ways and takes on many different forms, but in all cases it is devastating to daemons, undead, ghosts, and abominations from beyond space and time when brought to bear as a weapon. The Sororitas are the greatest enemies of these creatures, exceeding even the ability of the Astartes to confront and destroy the most ancient and dire of humanity’s foes. Some Sororitas learn to channel their powers into healing physical and mental wounds, glimpsing the future and the past, inspiring allies, granting blessings, maintaining order, and purifying people and locations.

Sororitas are beacons of power. Although they are not psykers, mutants, or sorcerers, the divine power their wield cannot be fully contained by their souls. When they channel their power, it spills out as a visual display. This imagery is always personalized, and no two Sororitas are alike, though their Order does play a role in it. Lions, eagles, horses, hosts of golden phantoms, crowns, and weaponry are all common if the Sororitas is part of an Order from the core worlds of the Imperium. Orders which don’t cleave as closely to Ecclesiarchy canon often have different manifestations. Such as machinery, gears, vehicles, or steam engines for the Obsidian Sentinels; dice, cards, wheels, butterflies, and cups for the Sea Snakes; and howling specters, shrouds, ravens or crows, and mist, for the Void Ravens. Finally, all overflow of Sororitas power causes a Sister to appear winged (unless she’s a Hag - but more on the Hags later), and it’s possible for a Sororitas to expend so much power so dramatically that her wings become ‘fixed’, which causes them to manifest permanently as part of her body.

Sororitas are personally chosen (but also, see below). Unlike the Astartes, whose ascension is left in the hands of the Chapter Masters and their officers, each Sororitas is weighed, judged, and selected (at least somewhat) personally by the God-Emperor of Mankind. During her transformation, when she is imbued with a fragment of his power, he speaks to her one-on-one and often imparts some duty, charge, or mission to her. These conversation are typically quite short, though in some cases, Sororitas have known the Emperor as a man, or been peers and friends with him (Loralyn, the Shepherd of Songs and Angelica, the Bloody-Handed-Saint are examples of this). Alicia Dominica had a personal audience at the foot of the Golden Throne, while other modern Sororitas receive visions, waking dreams, or claim to have encountered splinters of the Emperor’s soul traveling the Imperium in disguise.

Sororitas are heroic characters. While all humans are capable of acts of heroism, a single moment of courage or sacrifice in an otherwise unremarkable life is not enough to attract the Emperor’s attention. Women who are transformed into Sororitas are already exceptional - as leaders, healers, warriors, in devotion and faith or some combination of the four.

Spring Eternal

While the Inquisition, and indeed, most of the Sororitas, believe that the power they wield comes directly from the Emperor, that's... only partly true.

The God-Emperor did, in the twilight of antiquity, craft the fragments of power that attach to the souls of women and make them Sororitas - holy warriors who are something more than mortal. These fragments were cut from his own soul, and do represent both personal and divine investiture.

It’s just that the Emperor has no control over them.

Although modern religious and scientific leaders believe that each Sororitas transformation is unique, this is not the case. When a Sororitas dies, the power within her flees. Returning through invisible channels in the Warp to the Golden Throne, it rests there for a time, and then soars free to seek out a new host.

About three million of these fragments exist, or three times the current number of Adeptus Astartes. It’s unclear if this represents the upper limit or if more could be created should the Emperor desire or require it. However, the total of three million is falsely inflated, as at any given time, about one third of the fragments are ‘at rest’ within the Golden Throne, another third are seeking out hosts or attached to young women who lack the proper training and control, and the final third represent actual Sororitas, who are active, fully trained, and ready to confront humanity’s enemies.

The fragments are not under the Emperor’s direct control, and though he can influence them during his lucid or desperate moments - as was the case with Alicia Dominica - for the most part, they function independently of his will. He does speak with each Sororitas directly, and appoint them to an Order or charge them with a personal mission, but he has little to no say in the selection process (beyond giving the fragments their original impetus seeking out the faithful).

This is working as intended. For even if the Ruinous Powers were to assault Terra and lay waste to the planet, slay the Emperor, enslave all the humans who lived, and rip open the Eye of Terror until it consumed the galaxy, the Sororitas would still continue appear among mortals to oppose the dark gods and their pawns.

GIVE US GLAMOUR (Women Of The Year): Ava DuVernay Urges Women To Keep Building Bomb Empires + More #BlackExcellence Hits The Carpet

Glamour magazine hosted their annual Women of the Year Awards and Ava DuVernay delivered a word like only she can. Catch up on the gems she dropped, plus red carpet flicks from your faves like Niecy Nash, Yara Shahidi, Danai Gurira and more inside…

Leave it to director Ava DuVernay to drop gems we all can use.

Glamour magazine hosted its annual Women of the Year Awards to honor all of the female game changers in Hollywood. And, of course, fab directress Ava DuVernay was inducted in this year’s class of women who are trailblazing and pushing boundaries in Hollywood.

The gorgeous (and newly single) Niecy Nash, who starred in Ava’s Netflix series “When They See Us,” presented Ava with the award and praised her for what she brings to the industry and how fabulous she is overall.

“Ava DuVernay affirms you and assures you; she validates your choices as an artist. She makes each actor feel like you’re her favorite—‘Wait, she likes them that much, too?’ She is indeed that gorgeous dreadlocked woman we know, in the gowns, on the red carpet, but her sweet spot is on the couch, eating Pinkberry—absolutely with toppings."

Aww!

“At the core, we are two girls straight out of Compton, trying to use our talents to be of service to the world,” the "Claws" actress continued. “Through her production company, Array, Ava creates opportunities for underrepresented storytellers, like a 50% female production crew on her latest series, Cherish the Day. Her goal for When They See Us wasn’t, ‘Let me tell a story that will be critically acclaimed, so I can be the industry darling.’ It was, ‘Let me tell a story about the pain that people have suffered. Let me shine a light of truth.' Now that light is shining. And because she’s smart, she made sure the series was critically acclaimed too. Because the size of that light means more people will see."

"I am blessed to know Ava as an artist and a friend. I’m double dipping. Normally I don’t advocate jealousy but I’m saying, if you are jealous of me, rightfully so. Because what the rest of the world sees in her art, I see in her heart," she concluded.

  During Ava's acceptance speech, she talked about the importance of inclusion and encouraged women to keep building BOMB empires to show the world just how fabulous and bad a** women can be.

  "Inclusion is about creating a seat at the table for all of us," the SELMA directress told the audience. "Pulling up a chair for those left out. It denotes an absence being remedied."

I also believe in making our own doors, disrupting all systems built in such a way that inclusion is even needed in the first place. My truth is I don’t want a chair at the table. Or even three or even half anymore. I want the table to be rebuilt. In my likeness. And in the likeness of others long forced out of the room.

She shared examples to prove that institution building Institution building can look however we want.

"And their excellence. My excellence. Your excellence. The excellence of those who will come after us is within oneself, only experienced when the rhythm is in perfect working order. When we aren’t striving for seats. When we build new tables, new paradigms. New institutions. Or none at all.

"I urge us all to assert a presence of excellence, to build our own monuments. In our own likeness. For ourselves. And to bring the truth with us. Every time."

A whole word.

"Grown-ish" actress Yara Shahidi (above styling in a Schiaparelli dress alongside her mom Keri Shahidi) was also honored during the awards ceremony, and she too, shared some words of wisdom.

Peep 19-year-old's moving speech below:

  So young, yet so full of wisdom.

By the way....

A post shared by Keri Shahidi (@chocolatemommyluv) on Nov 12, 2019 at 1:12pm PST

  Yara's entire family was in the mix to celebrate! Nice.

  Black Panther starlet Danai Gurira made her way on the carpet in A Tory Burch dress from the SS20 Ready-To-Wear collection before presenting the designer with her Glamour Woman of the Year Award.

“Tory is unapologetic with her brand. The bold way she adorns women with class, flair, and fun all at once, and with the way she is working to leave no woman or girl behind," Danai said. "To popularize feminine ambition. From the millions of dollars she invests in female entrepreneurs to her awareness campaigns, arming people with education on the grotesque gender gap that still exists in so many ways. Tory is a champion for change, using the fruits of her ambition to nurture and empower the ambition of others.”

"The Handmaid's Tale" star Samira Wiley made her rounds during the ceremony, snapping selfies and presenting. And she looked BOMB!

"How To Get Away With Murder" actress Aja Naomi King was queening during a Cinderella moment on the carpet in a yellow Marc Jacobs couture gown. Goge.

Aja linked up with novelist Tomi Adeyemi (also shining in yellow) before hitting the stage to present.

  Daytime TV host and new mom Tamron Hall made her way to the event, posing it up on the carpet and catching photo-ops with Yara and Charlize Theron:

  Professional soccer player Megan Rapinoe snapped it up with Muslim model Halima Aden after accepting her Woman of the Year Award. During her speech, she thanked former 49ers quarterback/activist Colin Kapernick.

She said Colin demonstrated “courage and bravery” and was “filled with conviction, unafraid of the consequences. Because he knew, it really wasn’t about playing it safe. It was about doing what is necessary and backing down to exactly nobody.”

“While I’m enjoying all of this unprecedented — and, frankly, a little bit uncomfortable — attention and personal success, in large part due to my activism off the field, Colin Kaepernick is still effectively banned from the NFL for kneeling during the national anthem in protest of known and systematic police brutality against people of color, known and systematic racial injustice, and known and systematic white supremacy,” she said.

Facts!

"The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah was in the mix as he was tapped to present.

POSE MJ Rodriguez slayed on the carpet.

  Model/activist Bethann Hardison came out for the women empowerment event.

Fab times!

Tag Game (Q&A)

I was tagged by the lovely @mayalaen I was given questions and if I’m looking at it correctly I am supposed to create 10 of my own questions at the end to tag people to answer. So let’s see how I go about that, cause who knows. 

Here goges: 

My Questions:

What did you have for breakfast today? I had coffee. Probably should have had more. 

Did you sleep with a nightlight when you were a kid? No. Even after my brother hid under my bed, waited until I was almost asleep, and reached up and scared the crap out of me. 

When you’re lying in bed at night, is there a sound that makes you fall asleep really hard and/or very happily? (like rain or a fan, etc.) Probably? I use to have this cassette tape (yes I’m old) of ocean and whale sounds that I adored listening to when I’d sleep, now I usually only have my fan as white noise.

What is your word whisker? Silence. There will be times I use um or uh, but most times I try to use silence instead because I find "word whiskers” a nusance and I try to eliminate them with silence rather than use them. 

What would you like to eat for your last meal? At this exact second in time I want to say hot wings because I’m craving them. Or maybe a really good bread pudding. But that is subject to change at any moment.

If you HAD to be on a reality TV show, which one would you choose? Is The Amazing Race still a thing? Because I use to talk about how I wanted to be on that. But I think that is because of my desire to travel.

Would you rather be a duck or an owl? A duck. It would fulfill my desire to fly and my love of water. 

What’s under your bed? The pump for my sleep number bed. And probably some other random shit that happened to get kicked under there. 

What’s the best way to comfort you when you’re having a really bad day? As all those close to me and my meta family knows, let me vent. Otherwise, leave me alone. Let me be by myself and read, write, fuck around online, drink, apparently do these tag games. Maybe even let me go out to the ocean. 

What’s the most beautiful place on Earth? I think that the answer to this is subjective to each individuals experiences and travel. And since I’m not very well traveled like I would rather be I am going to go ahead and say that I think the most beautiful place for me would be somewhere near the Ocean, probably a beach, with clear water and soft sand, somewhere with a lot of marine life that I could explore while scuba diving. 

My 10 questions:

What is the one thing you wanted to do in life that you haven’t?

The place you hate the most and why?

Where do you go when you want to give it all up?

Would you rather fly or time travel?

Do you have a favorite outfit?

What are your thoughts on high heels?

Do you believe in an after life (heaven/hell/reincarnation/etc.)?

What was the last book (or fic) you read?

What is your favorite childhood memory?

If you could change one thing in your life, past or present, what would it be?

@thayerkerbasy @treefrogie84 @braezenkitty @rosemoonweaver @pherryt @shixpe @floralmotif @trisscar368 @winchester-reload @emani-writes @grey2510 @jhoomwrites @unforth-ninawaters and anyone else that sees this and wants to play. Please tag me so I can see your answer!

New Post has been published on https://toldnews.com/world/africa/south-african-church-wall-caves-in-killing-at-least-13/

South African Church Wall Caves In, Killing at Least 13

CAPE TOWN, South Africa — A church building in eastern South Africa partially collapsed at the start of the Easter weekend, killing at least 13 people and injuring 16, during heavy rainfall that caused flooding, power outages and structural damage.

A wall caved in at the Pentecostal Holiness Church in Dlangubo, a small village in KwaZulu-Natal province, shortly after 10 p.m. on Thursday, according to Robert McKenzie, a spokesman for the province’s emergency medical services department.

“There was an electrical storm in the area and it might have contributed,” Mr. McKenzie said of the disaster, which took place three days after a devastating fire ripped through the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris and caused extensive damage to one of the city’s most famous landmarks.

Twelve of those killed in South Africa were women and the thirteenth was a boy, according to Siphamandla Goge, a reporter with ENCA television who was in the village on Friday.

Some of the victims had traveled 60 miles to attend services at the church and were staying overnight, said Thembeka Mbele, a police spokeswoman.

Mildred Oliphant, South Africa’s labor minister, is a senior member of the church and had planned to attend the Good Friday service there. She called the accident a “devastating tragedy.”

Photographs shared on Twitter show a cavernous, if otherwise nondescript, A-frame building with an entire side missing and bricks strewn across the floor. Storm-related damage was reported across the province, where strong winds ripped the roofs off homes and restaurants, emergency personnel said.

Personal belongings were found far from people’s homes because of the strong winds, said Paul Herbst of IPSS Medical Rescue, a private ambulance service in the region.

The families of the victims were “absolutely devastated,” Thulasizwe Buthelezi, the mayor of Zululand, said in an interview with the South African Broadcasting Service. Two of the victims had worked for the local municipality, he said, including the mother of a child younger than five years old.

A spokesman for Willies Mchunu, the premier of KwaZulu-Natal province, told reporters that the deaths were “unnecessary” and “could have been avoided,” although he did not elaborate. He called for an investigation into the accident. Officials visited the site on Friday morning but could not be reached for comment.

In a statement, the governing African National Congress sent condolences and called on South Africans to “pray for the families to have strength.” President Cyril Ramaphosa has visited the church on several occasions, most recently last year.

The Easter weekend is an important holiday in South Africa, with many black families traveling home from cities to their rural homesteads. More than 80 percent of South Africans identify as Christian, according to the national statistics bureau.
