Summary: Your boyfriend, Josh, has an idea for a film. And your the star.

Hi girlies! Welcome to my first post on this blog. We know Josh is a film guy, so I wanted to play off of that. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I loved writing it.

Bajabule,

-Ken

Will this rain ever stop? You asked yourself as you made your way home from an exhausting day of work. You sighed softly as you came to a red light. You leaned your head back on the headrest and closed your eyes.

The memories of your day projected in the darkness of your closed eyes, replaying all the stressful moments. The office wasn't always so bad, but your boss, Rick, had a stick up his ass all day, and had you do all the grunt work. A honk from the car behind you released you from your pity party. You hit the gas and continued your short drive home.

As you pulled into the driveway, you dreaded walking to the door in the rain. You had left your umbrella at home in your rush to leave that morning. Thankfully, your parking situation at work included a parking garage with an enclosed walkway to the building. You didn't have that luxury here.

You gathered your things and prepared to make the run to the house, but before you opened the car door, you noticed Josh walking towards you with your umbrella opened up over his head. You let out a soft laugh as he came to the door and flashed you his award-winning smile through the window. You smiled back and pulled the handle of the door.

"My hero!" you exclaimed as he held his free hand out to you, lifting you out of the car.

"I saw your umbrella when I came home and figured you'd need some assistance. We don't want to ruin that beautiful hair you work so hard on." He winked and twirled a strand of your hair between his fingers.

You nudged him softly in his side as you both made your way to the front door. He hummed in amusement. He opened the door and stretched his arm out towards the opening.

"M'lady."

You giggled, stepping inside. "Thank you, sir."

As you slipped your shoes off by the door, you raised your head and took a deep breath. "Mmm. Something smells good."

Josh was shaking the rain off the umbrella before putting it in the holder. "I hope you like it. Just a little something. Steak, asparagus, mashed potatoes, and a side of noodles." He closed the door and stepped closer to you, wrapping his arms around your waist. "Oh, and I got your favorite blackberry sorbet for dessert."

"Hmm. Something simple." Your voice was laced with sarcasm. You let your eyes wander across his face. You always felt so relaxed and safe looking in his eyes; they were like deep pools of melted chocolate. Protected by his long, beautiful lashes that you were always envious of. Your eyes drifted lower to his perfect mouth. His lips so plush and glossy from him licking them. Hiding behind them was his 1000-watt smile with a tiny gap in his front teeth that always gave you butterflies.

"I'm glad I'm home," you hummed, resting your head on his shoulder. He rubbed small circles on the small of your back as he tilted his head towards yours, resting it gently.

"Me too, love." He whispered so softly you almost missed it. You could have stayed just like that with him for the rest of the night. But you felt your stomach give a little rumble, reminding you that the yogurt you had for lunch was not there anymore.

"Is the food done? I'm starved." You lifted your head to look back up at him, giving a small smile. He huffed a laugh from his nose.

"Why don't you go get into something a little more comfortable, and I'll finish up in the kitchen." He pressed his lips to your forehead and sent you on your way with a little smack on your ass as you headed to the bedroom, giggling wildly.

........

"Dinner was fantastic, babe," You said as you ran your fingers through his loose curls. Yoy both were laying on the couch, Josh laying between your legs so his head rested on your chest. He aimlessly flipped through the TV channels looking for something, but didn’t know what.

"It really was, wasn't it?" he hummed as he closed his eyes for a moment, basking in the attention you were giving him. He sighed as he opened his eyes again, returning to his channel surfing. He huffed, disappointed there was nothing worth watching.

"Modern TV is depressing." He sat up and turned to face you. He snaked his hands around your waist and pulled you into his lap. He buried his face into your neck and whimpered. You fought the laugh from escaping your lips.

"What's the matter, darling?" you asked, feeling a shiver wash over you as his warm breath tickled your neck. You slipped your hands around his neck, pressing your chest flush with his. He lifted his head to look at you, his nose just barely brushing yours.

"I could make a great movie. With substance. With passion." His eyes shimmered with longing. You felt the pull of a frown at the corners of your lips. It always hurt you that Josh gave up his dream to start a band with his brothers. You knew he loved being the front man of the group, but you also knew he was just a little heartbroken about putting his dreams on hold.

"I know you could. And I know you will someday." You closed the distance and connected your mouth to his. He put his hands to your cheeks and pulled away so he could talk.

"I love you. You know that?" His lips softly brushed yours as he spoke. You felt your cheeks start to burn crimson beneath his hands. You nodded in acknowledgment.

"I love you too, Josh." A small smirk pulled at his lips. He brushed his thumb over your bottom lip as he bit his. His eyes met yours again as he pulled you in for another kiss; this one a little more firey. He slipped his tongue over your lips, asking for entry. You parted them as permission, and let his tongue find yours. He tasted like strawberry soda and weed from the joint you two had smoked after dinner.

He let a hand wonder down your neck and found your breasts. He palmed them over your shirt and moaned softly against your lips. The noise he made had your clit throbbing. You moved your hips slowly over his growing erection forming in his pants. His hands found your hips and his fingers dug in firmly. He guided you as you moved against him, lips and tongues still exploring each other. His fingers toyed with the hem of your shirt. You pulled away long enough to let him remove it and toss it carelessly on the floor.

His lips hungrily found your exposed clavicle, nipping and sucking. You leaned your head back, biting your lip as you took in the sensation. He worked his way to your breasts, giving each nipple a suck. You moaned as your eyes rolled back slightly.

"Fuck Josh...that feels amazing." You couldn't see his it, but you knew a proud smile was beaming on his face. He gently laid you back so your head was on the arm rest, and you were off his lap. He marked a trail from your sternum to your navel with his tongue, making you shiver as goosebumps rose to the surface. Your body was screaming, your clit aching. You needed him. You sat up to turn the attention on him, but you were met with his hands grabbing your wrists, forcing you back down. As he held your hands above your head, you gasped at the quickness of it.

He met your eyes with a devious smirk. "You're going to stay right there, mama. Until I tell you to move."

You swallowed hard, a protest forming on your lips. He arched his brow in warning. You swallowed your complaints and nodded. He leaned down and kissed you, taking your bottom lip between his teeth and biting softly. You moaned and bucked your hips towards him. He sat back up, laughing.

"Calm down, baby. You'll get what you need. Don't I always take care of my girl?" He didn't wait for you to answer. He released your wrists, but you didn't dare move. He noticed and gave an approving smile. "That's my girl. Such a good listener." His fingers hooked on your shorts and started to pull them off. You lifted up so he could remove them. He threw them with your shirt, and sat back looking at you silently. You squirmed, suddenly feeling self-conscious under his gaze.

"What?" you asked meekly, looking at anything but him.

"You're so beautiful," he whispered, drinking you in. You could see his brain working as he contemplated something. He looked to the TV and then his eyes met yours. He looked nervous.

He cleared his throat. "So... remember when I said I could make a great movie?"

You nodded, not seeing how that conversation applied to you being naked and vulnerable on the couch.

"Well....what if I made one now?"

Your eyebrows scrunched in confusion as you tried to understand what he meant. "What do you mean?"

"Like, what if we made a sex tape?" His eyes were focused on his hands as he asked. He peeked up at you through his lashes, anxiously waiting on your response. You felt shocked. But it made sense for him to want to do this. You bounced it around for a few minutes, chewing on your lip. He let out a breath, like he had been holding it. You sat up to meet him and smiled. "Okay."

His eyes lit up as he leaned in to kiss you. He pulled away and quickly jumped off the couch. "Josh?" You called in a stern voice. He looked at you with raised brows. You could see the disappointment on his face, thinking you had changed your mind. "This is just for us," you finished, a soft smile on your lips. He let out a laugh.

"Of course, mama. This is all for us." He winked as he disappeared around the corner. He appeared a few minutes later with his camera and tripod. You watched in amusement as he set everything up. You could see how excited he was, looking through the view finder then moving the tripod a few inches back. Making sure he had the best angle. He rubbed his hands together, pushing the red button on top of the camera. "Alright. We are rolling." He walked back to the couch and reclaimed his spot.

He leaned into you and found your lips again. You tugged at his shirt, signaling you wanted it gone. He obliged, pulling the fabric over his head and tossing it into the pile forming on the floor. You bit your lip as your eyes scanned his torso. You were hungry for him. You gently grabbed the back if his neck as you leaned back, pulling him on top of you. He placed his hands on both sides of you, holding himself up over you.

He leaned in and planted soft kisses down your neck. He lifted a hand and ran it down your body, eventually snaking it between you to find your heat. He slipped his middle finger through your folds with ease. "You're so wet for me,” he breathed in your ear. You let out a small whimper as your fingers dug into the skin of his bare back. He moaned against your neck, letting his finger tease your opening. He lifted his head to look at you. "Does my pretty girl want to feel my fingers inside her wet pussy?" You looked up at him with pleading eyes.

"Yes. Please Josh."

He smiled and licked your bottom lip before plunging his finger inside you. Your hips lifted from the couch. After he pumped a few times, he added a second finger. You could feel yourself clenching around him. He sat up, his fingers still inside you. "Sit up." He demanded, softness surrounded the edges of his words. You did as you were told. He removed his fingers once your feet were touching the floor.

He opened his mouth as he brought his fingers to it. You could see the wetness on them as his tongue wrapped around them before putting them in his mouth. He moaned, removing them with a pop. "You taste like candy." Your eyes never left his mouth as he licked his lips. Your breathing was heavy, and you could feel your heartbeat between your legs. You squeezed them together to try to soothe the throbbing.

He moved from the couch, getting on his knees in front of you. He rubbed your thighs. "Open for me, baby." You spread your legs for him. He hummed as he glanced at your warm center, flicking his eyes up to you. "So pretty." He kissed the inside of your thighs, switching from side to side. He moved forward and you felt his nose graze your clit. You jumped at the contact. He lifted his head and smiled. "Just remember to smile at the camera, princess."

You glanced up at the camera, a flashing red light blinking slowly, letting you know it was capturing the sinful things going on. You felt butterflies at the thought. Josh brought you back to the present by running his warm tongue up your slit, and flicking your clit before wrapping his lips around it. You whimpered as you threaded your fingers through his curls, tugging gently. He moaned, vibrating your clit. He looked up at you through his lashes as he ran his tongue on the underside of your clit. His finger was resting at your entrance begging for entry.

You let out loud moans as you felt the heat of the fire starting to burn in your chest. He slipped his finger inside you and started pumping it in and out of you, never neglecting your swollen bundle of nerves. You tried to keep your eyes open so you could watch him work, but when he added his second finger, the fire in your chest spread to the rest of your body. "J-Josh....I'm gonna....cum." He removed his mouth, replacing it with the thumb of his free hand.

"Yeah mama. Cum for me. Cum on my fingers. I want to feel it."

His encouragement was enough to send you over the edge. You screamed curses and his name as your body exploded. His mouth was on you again as his fingers helped ease you down. He lapped you up, not wanting to miss a drop, and slowly removed his fingers. He sat up and leaned into you. When he kissed you, you could taste yourself on his lips.

"That was incredibly sexy." He peppered kisses down your neck. "Can I fuck you?" he softly asked, sex coating his words. You legs wrapped around his waist as you pulled his face up to yours. You kissed him deeply and sighed into him. Pulling away, you stoked his cheek with your thumb.

"Please" was all you whispered. A low growl escaped him as he stood up and swung your legs so you were laying. He quickly pulled his sweatpants and boxers to his ankles, freeing his now hard cock.

You watched as a stand of spit fell from his mouth and landed perfectly on the head of his cock. Fuck. You couldn't help but to sneak a hand down to your wetness and glide a finger over your clit. You watched him run his hand up and down his shaft a few times before he stopped completely.

"OH!" He turned on his heel and headed for the camera. You sat up to try and see what he was up to.

After a few moments, he turned around with the camera hanging from a strap around his neck. You started at him quizzically, not understanding. He smiled as he strode back to you. "I want to get the money shots." You giggled as he climbed between your legs. He held the camera in one hand while he lined his cock up with your entrance with the other.

"Are you ready, my little movie star?" he said from behind the camera. You looked at him through the lens and nodded, a smirk on your face. He aimed the camera down to the action, and slowly entered you. You moaned, letting him know he could go deeper. He wasted no time and filled you to the brim. You both let out little cries as he started pumping in and out of you gently. You leaned your head back into the arm rest and closed your eyes.

He quickened his pace, grunting on every in thrust. You opened your eyes to find his watching you. His brows furrowed, mouth slightly parted.

"You look so fucking sexy fucking me," you said, your hands reaching to run over his chest, a light sheen of sweat forming on it. He closed his eyes and clenched his jaw at your words. His arm reached out and hooked under your leg, pulling it up to rest on his shoulder while moving his hand to rest on your hip for support.

The camera in his other hand was bouncing wildly but still capturing the delicious sight of his cock thrusting inside of you, glistening with your juices every time he pulled out. He dug his fingers into your hip and moaned. "Fuck, mama. I'm so close."

You could feel that same fire from before starting to reignite. You watched his face. He was trying to hold back so you could finish first. He was breathing quickly, his chest rising and falling fast. He pulled his free hand from you and rested his thumb back on your clit, rubbing soft circles. You screamed his name as he pounded into you, the veins in his arms becoming visible. You felt the build up coming to a head. "Look at me." you gasped. He opened his eyes and they found yours. He was whimpering and whispering your name. The begging in his eyes was like gasoline. You felt your body catch fire as you came for the second time.

He was right behind you. Your cunt tightening around him sent him over. He thrusted hard into you. You felt his warmness explode in you, the sensation adding to your climax. As you both came down from your high, he focused the camera on your cunt. He slowly pulled his cock out of you, letting his mess spill out. "Mm. Fuck. Thats so hot." He scanned it up your body, resting it at your breasts for a moment, then stopping on your face. Your cheeks rosy with lust, you gave a shy, exhausted smile. "And that's a wrap." He pushed the red button to stop the recording.

He leaned over to set the camera on the coffee table, then leaned down to give you a small peck. "I'll be right back, doll." He came back shortly with a warm rag and cleaned you up. He grabbed your shirt and helped you slip it over your head. After he put his sweatpants on, he sat next to you, pulling you into his arms. You rested your head on his chest and sighed contently. He kissed the top of your head. "I think that could win an Emmy." You could hear his smile. You laughed and slapped his leg gently. He chuckled and kissed your head again. "I can't wait to watch that with you and without you. You're my personal porn star."

You sat up and rolled your eyes at him. He kissed your nose then stood up. "You relax, I'll make us some popcorn, and you can pick out any of these movies. I'll suffer for you." He smiled and turned towards the kitchen. You covered up with the blanket laying on the back of the couch. You grabbed the remote and started flipping though the channels. Oh. Napoleon Dynamite. You thought to yourself with a smile. Josh's favorite movie. You heard the muffled sounds of popcorn popping as you sat back and pressed play. You loved movie nights.

TONY GWYNN HITTING

He was less concerned with getting a hit in a particular at-bat and was more focused with being comfortable at the plate, having a fluid swing, and making solid contact. Over the course of the season, he figured it would result in success.[34]

Gwynn was hard-working and known for his work ethic and devotion to extra batting practice.[3][13][185][197] On the road, he stayed in his hotel room, studying video of his at-bats or playing video games.[68][198]

In the first 12 years of his MLB career, Gwynn used a 32½-inch, 31-ounce bat. In his final eight years, he employed a 33-inch, 30½-ounce bat.[d][11][29] Gwynn wanted his wooden bats light like his aluminum ones in college. Instead of having the barrel of his bats shaved, as many batters do, he had them "cupped", with the end of the barrel hollowed out like the bottom of a wine bottle.[176]

STARBUCKS & SEPHORA COFFEE RIGHTS

Ethiopia and Oxfam America urged Starbucks to sign a licensing agreement with Ethiopia to help boost prices paid to farmers. At issue was Starbucks' use of Ethiopia's famed coffee brands—Guji, Sidamo, Yirgacheffe and Harar—that generate high margins for Starbucks and cost consumers a premium, yet generated very low prices to Ethiopian farmers. Cappuccino (/ˌkæpʊˈtʃiːnoʊ/ ⓘ, Italian: [kapputˈtʃiːno]; from German Kapuziner)[1] is an espresso-based coffee drink that is traditionally prepared with steamed milk including a layer of milk foam.[2] Variations of the drink involve the use of cream instead of milk, using non-dairy milk substitutes and flavoring with cocoa powder (in Europe and Australasia) or cinnamon (in the United States).[3][4] It is typically smaller in volume than that of a latte, and topped with a thick layer of foam rather than being made with microfoam.[5]

A liqueur coffee is a caffeinated alcoholic drink that consists of a shot of liqueur, mixed with coffee. It is typically served in a liqueur glass, often accompanied with cream and sugar. Coffee liqueur beverages are served in different fashions and can be found throughout many countries. One of the most popular liqueur coffee beverage is commonly known as Irish coffee.[1] Liqueur coffee beverages are largely classified as cocktails as well as digestifs which are aimed at aiding the digestive process typically after a meal.

Coffee is well known as a cosmetic ingredient, particularly due to the presence of phenolic compounds, such as chlorogenic acids, and caffeine. Caffeine is widely used in cosmetic formulations due to its photoprotector and anti-aging properties, as well as lipolytic action in cellulitis, and hair regrowth.

REIGs Homestead Rental Properties

In the most basic terms, a real estate investment company invests clients' assets in real estate and provides them with profits on those investments in exchange for a fee. Typically, this is the well-known approach of renovating completely and then reselling for a profit.

Rural economics is the study of rural economies. Rural economies include both agricultural and non-agricultural industries, so rural economics has broader concerns than agricultural economics which focus more on food systems.[1] Rural development[2] and finance[3] attempt to solve larger challenges within rural economics. These economic issues are often connected to the migration from rural areas due to lack of economic activities[4] and rural poverty. Some interventions have been very successful in some parts of the world, with rural electrification and rural tourism providing anchors for transforming economies in some rural areas. These challenges often create rural-urban income disparities.[5] Rural spaces add new challenges for economic analysis that require an understanding of economic geography: for example understanding of size and spatial distribution of production and household units and interregional trade,[6] land use,[7] and how low population density effects government policies as to development, investment, regulation, and transportation.[8]

A commercial economy is an economic system characterized by the exchange of goods and services, often driven by trade and market forces, rather than subsistence agriculture.

REIGs Edge City Slum

An edge city is a concentration of business, shopping, and entertainment outside a traditional downtown or central business district, in what had previously been a suburban, residential or rural area. The term was popularized by the 1991 book Edge City: Life on the New Frontier by Joel Garreau, who established its current meaning while working as a reporter for The Washington Post. Garreau argues that the edge city has become the standard form of urban growth worldwide, representing a 20th-century urban form unlike that of the 19th-century central downtown. Other terms for these areas include suburban activity centers, megacenters, and suburban business districts.[1] These districts have now developed in many countries. Urban economics is broadly the economic study of urban areas; as such, it involves using the tools of economics to analyze urban issues such as crime, education, public transit, housing, and local government finance. More specifically, it is a branch of microeconomics that studies the urban spatial structure and the location of households and firms (Quigley 2008).

Value theory is the systematic study of values. Also called axiology, it examines the nature, sources, and types of values. As a branch of philosophy, it has interdisciplinary applications in fields such as economics, sociology, anthropology, and psychology.

The term originates in ethical philosophy, where axiological or value hedonism is the claim that pleasure is the sole form of intrinsic value,[3][4][5] while normative or ethical hedonism claims that pursuing pleasure and avoiding pain for oneself or others are the ultimate expressions of ethical good.[1] Applied to well-being or what is good for someone, it is the thesis that pleasure and suffering are the only components of well-being.[6]

Psychological or motivational hedonism claims that human behavior is psychologically determined by desires to increase pleasure and to decrease pain.[3][1]

Hedonic pricing is a model that identifies price factors according to the premise that price is determined both by internal characteristics of the good being sold and external factors affecting it.

SUN CHURCH PRACTICE

The Nicene Creed (/ˈnaɪsiːn/; Koinē Greek: Σύμβολον τῆς Νικαίας, romanized: Sýmvolon tis Nikéas), also called the Creed of Constantinople,[1] is the defining statement of belief of Nicene Christianity[2][3] and in those Christian denominations that adhere to it. Although Constantine lived much of his life as a pagan and later as a catechumen, he began to favour Christianity beginning in 312, finally becoming a Christian and being baptised by Eusebius of Nicomedia, an Arian bishop, although the Catholic Church and the Coptic Orthodox Church maintain that he was baptised by Pope Sylvester I. He played an influential role in the proclamation of the Edict of Milan in 313, which declared tolerance for Christianity in the Roman Empire. He convoked the First Council of Nicaea in 325 which produced the statement of Christian belief known as the Nicene Creed. In the Roman Catholic Church, to obtain the plenary indulgence once a day, it is necessary to visit a church or oratory to which the indulgence is attached and the recitation of the Sunday prayers, Creed and Hail Mary.[82] Recitation of the Apostles' Creed or the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed is required to obtain a partial indulgence.[83] Tithe; noun; one tenth of annual produce or earnings, formerly taken as a tax for the support of the Church and clergy.

The Council of Trent issued key statements and clarifications of the Church's doctrine and teachings, including scripture, the biblical canon, sacred tradition, original sin, justification, salvation, the sacraments, the Mass, and the veneration of saints[4] and also issued condemnations of what it defined to be heresies committed by proponents of Protestantism. The consequences of the council were also significant with regard to the Church's liturgy and censorship.

Nzambi a Mpungu (also Nzambi and Nzambi Mpungu) is the Supreme God, eternal Sky Father and God of the Sun (fire) in traditional Kongo spirituality.[1] His female counterpart is Nzambici, the Sky Mother and Goddess of the Moon. Among other Central African Bantu peoples, such as the Chokwe, and in the Kingdom of Ndongo, Nzambi Mpungu was also called Kalunga, the god of fire and change. This may have a connection to an element of Bakongo cosmology called Kalûnga. It was seen as the spark of fire that begot all life in the universe.[1] After Portuguese colonization, Nzambi Mpungu became synonymous with the Christian God and existed chiefly as the Creator God.[2]

Possessive invocation may be attempted singly or, as is often the case in Wicca, in pairs - with one person doing the invocation (reciting the liturgy or prayers and acting as anchor), and the other person being invoked (allowing themselves to become a vessel for the spirit or deity).

Automatic writing, also called psychography, is a claimed psychic ability allowing a person to produce written words without consciously writing. Practitioners engage in automatic writing by holding a writing instrument and allowing alleged spirits to manipulate the practitioner's hand.

SOL ANGELS: HELL EVENING STAR SUN MATERIAL WORLD SUNSET ANGELS CLAN SOLAR CROWN DEITIES (SUN PRINCIPALITY)

In a later extended sense in intertestamental Jewish literature, the abyss was the underworld, either the abode of the dead (Sheol) or eventually the realm of the rebellious spirits (fallen angels) (Hell). In the latter sense, specifically, the abyss was often seen as a prison for demons.

In this example, the adept must surrender all, including the guidance of his Holy Guardian Angel, and leap into the Abyss.

A tutelary (/ˈtjuːtəlɛri/; also tutelar) is a deity or a spirit who is a guardian, patron, or protector of a particular place, geographic feature, person, lineage, nation, culture, or occupation. The etymology of "tutelary" expresses the concept of safety and thus of guardianship. A radiant or radiate crown, also known as a solar crown, sun crown, Eastern crown, or tyrant's crown, is a crown, wreath, diadem, or other headgear symbolizing the Sun or more generally powers associated with the Sun. Apart from the Ancient Egyptian form of a disc between two horns, it is shaped with a number of narrowing bands going outwards from the wearer's head, to represent the rays of the Sun. These may be represented either as flat, on the same plane as the circlet of the crown, or rising at right angles to it.

Thomism is the philosophical and theological school which arose as a legacy of the work and thought of Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274), the Dominican philosopher, theologian, and Doctor of the Church.

Augustine of Hippo, who converted from Manichaeism to Christianity, criticised the Manichaeans for polytheism and paganism, stating that Manichaeans, due to their dualistic cosmology, believe in two different deities. The Manichaean bishop Faustus of Mileve defends Manichaeism by stating that Catholics erroneously assume that the Prince of Darkness had a divine essence, while in fact, the Prince of Darkness does not share any attributes with the Divine, thus Manichaeism would not worship multiple gods, but rather one true god.[2] They are both two different principles: although eternally existing, clearly distinct. Only the light particles within humans are consubstantial to the Divine.

Augustine of Hippo (/ɔːˈɡʌstɪn/ aw-GUST-in, US also /ˈɔːɡəstiːn/ AW-gə-steen;[22] Latin: Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis; 13 November 354 – 28 August 430),[23] also known as Saint Augustine, was a theologian and philosopher of Berber origin and the bishop of Hippo Regius in Numidia, Roman North Africa. His writings influenced the development of Western philosophy and Western Christianity, and he is viewed as one of the most important Church Fathers of the Latin Church in the Patristic Period. His many important works include The City of God, On Christian Doctrine, and Confessions.

Thomas Aquinas OP (/əˈkwaɪnəs/ ⓘ ə-KWY-nəs; Italian: Tommaso d'Aquino, lit. 'Thomas of Aquino'; c. 1225 – 7 March 1274) was an Italian[6] Dominican friar and priest, the foremost Scholastic thinker[7], as well one of the most influential philosophers and theologians in the Western tradition.[8] He was from the county of Aquino in the Kingdom of Sicily.

THE ARABA, CHIEF PRIEST OF IFA: "YORUBA RELIGION AT THE CROSSROADS”

Ifarinwale Ogundiran ("The Araba")

The Araba is the Chief Priest of Ifa, a traditional Yoruba religion, of the town of Modakeke, Nigeria. He has worked with scholars from American and European universities conducting research on his life and Yoruba religions. The visit incorporated dance and drum performance of various orisa rhythms, and a discussion of the Yoruba religion's inclusive cosmology and the challenges it faces in the increasingly exclusive religious landscape of contemporary Nigeria.

BABALAWOS

Babalawos are key custodians of the Ifa system, preserving and transmitting Yoruba cultural heritage through oral tradition, rituals, and ceremonies. This system provides a framework for understanding morality, human relationships, and the world at large. As spiritual leaders and diviners, Babalawos offer guidance to individuals and communities by employing the Ifa divination process, addressing various aspects of life such as health, relationships, and career choices.

The Babalawos are believed to ascertain the future of their clients through communication with Ifá. This is done through the interpretation of either the patterns of the divining chain known as Opele, or the sacred palm nuts called Ikin, on the traditionally wooden divination tray called Opon Ifá. In addition to this, some of them also perform divination services on behalf of the kings and paramount chiefs of the Yoruba people. These figures, holders of chieftaincy titles like Araba and Oluwo Ifa in their own right, are members of the recognised aristocracies of the various Yoruba traditional states.

Intercessory Prayer with a Conscious Vessel and KABBA NICENE as Religious Identity

In the Roman Catholic Church, to obtain the plenary indulgence once a day, it is necessary to visit a church or oratory to which the indulgence is attached and the recitation of the Sunday prayers, Creed and Hail Mary.[82] Recitation of the Apostles' Creed or the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed is required to obtain a partial indulgence.[83]

KABBALISTIC TEXT

The Zohar (Hebrew: זֹהַר‎, Zōhar, lit. "Splendor" or "Radiance"[a]) is a foundational work of Kabbalistic literature.[1] It is a group of books including commentary on the mystical aspects of the Torah (the five books of Moses) and scriptural interpretations as well as material on mysticism, mythical cosmogony, and mystical psychology. The Zohar contains discussions of the nature of God, the origin and structure of the universe, the nature of souls, redemption, the relationship of ego[citation needed] to darkness and "true self" to "the light of God".

The godhood self sought by left-hand path followers is represented by the qliphah Thaumiel in the Tree of Knowledge.[4]

In the Zohar, Lurianic Kabbalah, and Hermetic Qabalah, the qlippoth (Hebrew: קְלִיפּוֹת, romanized: qəlīppōṯ, originally Jewish Babylonian Aramaic: קְלִיפִּין, romanized: qəlīppīn, plural of קְלִפָּה qəlīppā; literally "peels", "shells", or "husks"), are the representation of evil or impure spiritual forces in Jewish mysticism, the opposites of the Sefirot.[1][2] The realm of evil is called Sitra Achra (Jewish Babylonian Aramaic: סִטְרָא אַחְרָא, romanized: sīṭrāʾ ʾaḥrāʾ, lit. 'The Other Side') in Kabbalistic texts.

Regardie and Crowley

According to Aleister Crowley, the three evil forms (before Samael), are said to be Qemetial, Belial, and Othiel.[15]

Crowley (who calls them "Orders of Qliphoth")[16] and Israel Regardie[17] list the qlippoth and their associated sephiroth on the tree of life as:

Thaumiel, associated with Kether

Ghogiel, associated with Chokmah

Satariel, associated with Binah

Agshekeloh, associated with Chesed

Golohab, associated with Geburah

Tagiriron, associated with Tiphareth

Gharab Tzerek, associated with Netzach

Samael, associated with Hod

Gamaliel, associated with Yesod

Lilith, associated with Malkuth.

The Kabbalistic angels, also known as the Angels of the Shem HaMephorash, are 72 celestial spirits whose names are derived from the 72-fold name of the Hebrew god as found in the Book of Exodus.

TUTELARY DEITY

A radiant or radiate crown, also known as a solar crown, sun crown, Eastern crown, or tyrant's crown, is a crown, wreath, diadem, or other headgear symbolizing the Sun or more generally powers associated with the Sun.

DIASPORA

Odinani, also known as Odinala, Omenala, Odinana, and Omenana[1] (Igbo: Ọdịnanị/Ọ̀dị̀nàlà), is the traditional cultural belief and practice of the Igbo people of south east Nigeria.[2] These terms, as used here in the Igbo language, are synonymous with the traditional Igbo "religious system" which was not considered separate from the social norms of ancient or traditional Igbo societies. Theocratic in nature, spirituality played a huge role in their everyday lives. Although it has largely been syncretised with Catholicism, the indigenous belief system remains in strong effect among the rural, village and diaspora populations of the Igbo. (Nigerian ASĖ; Chicago and Ethiopia)

JEWS I PROTECT

Proponents of the Kenite hypothesis explain this inconsistency as a preserved implication that the cult of Yahweh said to have been created by Moses had a known pre-history. Further indirect support for the Kenites being the true bearers of the Yahwistic faith is taken from the positive portrayal of Kenites in the rest of the Tanakh. Kenites and some groups closely associated with them appear to have been known as fervid devotees of their god Yahweh, even during times when Yahweh's own chosen people, the Israelites, had at large abandoned his worship.

Writing Patterns

Rules: Share the opening of your last ten published works or as many as you are able and see if there are any patterns!

Thank you for the tag @tryan-a-bex!!

Going from oldest to most recent because I had already scrolled back ten fics to count them off, and I don’t feel like scrolling back up to the top again lol

10. i am singing now while rome burns

What power would Hell have if those here imprisoned were not able to dream of Heaven?

The Dream Lord’s words still pounding within her head, Mazikeen watches as he strides out of the palace, satisfaction burning from each line of his body, bright even among the fires of Hell. Defeat stings all along Mazikeen’s skin.

9. the boy in his deathless arms

The first stormclouds roll in at dusk.

Eyes narrowed against the rising wind, Dream stares at the horizon. He stands up and brushes the grass and dust from his robes. “Orpheus,” he calls. “Come to me.”

8. sister, hold me close (us despite it all)

The heat wraps itself round Calliope’s shoulders, soft and downy against her skin. In time, she knows it will become the irritation she remembers it being, but for the time being it feels like it is welcoming her back.

7. come my way and stay, my honey

In hindsight, Lucienne will reflect, it couldn’t have happened in any place but her library.

It wasn’t a spectacular, radiant revelation, descending on her head like a ball of fire. It was like waking to the sunrise resting gentle hands on your windowpane.

6. rip my ribcage open and devour what’s truly yours

“I’m still angry,” Crowley hisses against Aziraphale’s mouth. “This doesn’t mean I’m okay with what you did, and it doesn’t mean I for—fuck,” and he can’t say it, he cannot say that word, not now and not here and not with Aziraphale. He drops his forehead against Aziraphale’s collarbone, his breath coming in harsh gasps.

5. united in kiss and weep

“Gault—Gault—”

“Shhh.” Gault presses a kiss against Lucienne’s spine, and the other woman arches back into the touch. Lucienne’s shoulder blades shine with sweat. Gault trails her free hand over the slick skin, thinking about the wings Lucienne always has when Gault pictures her in her mind’s eye.

4. fly you high

A beeswax candle. A brass candle holder carved in the shape of a tree. A sprig of fragrant jasmine. This is what Lucienne lays on the small round table in her chambers.

Once they’re arranged precisely so, Lucienne lights the candle and takes a seat. She’s careful, but the squeal of chair legs against the floorboards still makes her flinch. She watches the curl of smoke as the delicate scent of the beeswax settles deep into her lungs.

3. Suffer Love

Proper paperwork didn’t catch on in Hell until the twentieth century, but once it did it seized the bit in its teeth and exploded down the racetrack.

Luckily, by that time, the demon Crowley had already pretty well worked out his excuses regarding the Arrangement. He could write it off as an encouragement of Sloth, for example. Even better that it was that of an angel, the—pardon his French—god-tier of temptable beings; what other demon could claim that? It made him feel a little smug, really.

2. i’ll be your friend, i will love you so deeply

“You’re brooding, Lucienne.”

Jerked from her reverie, Lucienne blinks and refocuses on Dream as they pace side by side en route to the throne room. “Oh—it’s nothing, my lord.”

“There is no ‘nothing’ where you are concerned.”

Lucienne knows a compliment when she hears one, and she smiles slightly. “Well, it’s maudlin, at least.”

1. todas tus luces (all your lights)

Calliope was still humming as she and Gault walked down the rain-slick street away from the school, Calliope holding an umbrella over the two of them.

“It’s catchy, isn’t it?” Gault said, sounding amused. “Isaac’s dreams have been full of the soundtrack for weeks.”

As for patterns…I don’t think I see one? If anyone spots one, feel free to comment on it! There’s a good mix here, I think. Dialogue; atmospheric details; musings out of the direct action (#7 and #3). I don’t find beginnings as difficult as most other parts of the writing process.

I think my favorite opening out of these is #9, “the boy in his deathless arms.” Because for Dream and Calliope, they’ve felt that storm building ever since they found out their son was/was going to be mortal. They always knew they would outlive him. And that fic is just chock full of foreshadowing, so I think starting it off with a line about storm clouds works well.

I’m also extremely fond of the second paragraph of #7!

Same tagging rules as Tryan’s—if you made it to the end of this post, consider yourself tagged 😁

Fontaine Teaser Analysis and Theories

Let’s start at the top.

We first see the magician twins and their brother, who is sinking, even though we know he’s one of the best divers. It’s also probable that he’s voicing the Voiceover. The question is why he’s sinking. He’s not very social, and tries to keep to himself. It might be that he accidentally got himself into shit, but the thing he’s good at (diving) had been said that he doesn’t accept commission from others. My best guess is that he’s more of an unsuspecting civilian than an active participant, though he also said “my mission” so he might know more then he let on. His drowning might have been orchestrated by the Fatui, or other forces, to get to the traveler. What might happen is that they save him from drowning, but the photos make it look like they threw him into the water or something similar.

In any case the Fatui also have a grasp on the twins. Arlecchino, the one who runs an orphanage for the Fatui, was criticising their show, that they call themselves magicians, but actually they are just actors, who can’t capture their whole audience yet. It’s also worth noting, that in the end the two are only cardboard cutouts. As the whole voiceover talked about illusions and tricks of the eye, it’s most likely that the twins aren’t what they seem to be. (Lynette, with voice line “Entering Standby Mode”, robot? Cyborg? She’s watching people) They probably have to work with the Harbinger, trick the Traveler and other people, maybe because of their brother. In the beginning his drowning transitions into the resurfacing of Lynette, as she frees herself in some kind of escape trick. That might be foreshadowing, that these siblings have to save themselves from a tricky situation. But as their cardboard cutouts fall, my hope for them falters.

Now let’s continue with information.

Shortly after the twins, we see the journalist Charlotte of the Steambird, who is taking photos of a lady (Navia) with an umbrella, standing on top of a building. The wind picks her up and she’s off flying. But Charlotte looks troubled. She throws one of the pictures away. I believe it’s the one where she begins to lift up. Something probably went on out of frame that recontextualises the pictures. (Lynette is an Anemo Vision holder) that’s part of the lies and deception. It’s also worth noting that the steambird is The Newspaper in all of tevat. It’ll most likely play a major part in the net of lies and deceptions. Those who control the news, control everything. Charlotte might be a diligent journalist and dedicated to finding out the truth, but the higher ups might be easily manipulated and corrupted. It’s almost a given that some of the information in there, probably also about the traveler is misleading. The newspaper painting the traveler in a negative light might also lead into them being caught up in a misunderstanding and brought to trial.

Another part might be the child and the man sitting at the table afterwards. He is focused on his papers, and the child tries to make him drink the wrong drink. He, with his hand hovering over the smoothie, makes the child believe he had fallen for their tricks, but ultimately, the side eye towards them and his little smirk show he was aware of it from the beginning and chose to play along. (Also that quick closing his eyes, metaphor to closing his eyes before the truth maybe? In a yet harmless context, but that will be dangerous with higher stakes) It shows that deception already starts on a personal basis. (Or he’s blind, then him reading the papers doesn’t make sense, though)

It continues with a shot through some tunnels, I’m divided on its purpose. For travelling it seem a bit too steep, but it also seem to have lights. At first I had thoughts of the sewer system, but it doesn’t look dirty enough for that. Especially with how those two looked directly into the camera (and tunnels) I think it might be an information network. Maybe for eavesdropping. It’d also make sense with Fontaine being a surveillance state, that the government is spying on their citizens.

The voiceover also talks about how you have to choose the right time place and people if they’re supposed to believe what you tell them. While they do that they pan towards the judge, who seems to be walking in a prison, because of the bars over the window. So one key part of the archon quest might be social upheavals, or a prison riot. Maybe because of an unjust court case. From other trailers we have already seen the stark differences between the rich and poor, as the infrastructure and clothing greatly differs. My best guess is that the people will be those who have fallen through the cracks of the justice system. Those living in the slums, who aren’t blinded by the glamour in the city.

The woman with the gun is also interesting. (I hope we get to play her) It might be completely unrelated, but when she shot, the camera zoomed to the lady with the umbrella. She was still smiling and I can’t stop remembering the scene were she flew away, because there seemed to be something going on behind the scenes already. Also the gunshot shattered glass (the fourth wall). It might be an indicator that she is in the know about what’s going on. She might help us pierce through the veil of unknowing, but I wouldn’t count on her being sincere (like I wouldn’t trust anyone else in Fontaine)

The last scene is in the courtroom. Focalor (the hydro archon) is complaining at the judge, that she’s bored. She has the demeanour and look of a child and seems disinterested at what’s happening currently in the court. She is holding a black photo that continues to burn away as the scene continues. That the photo is black might be an indicator that even the archon doesn’t have all of the facts, or that what she’s looking at simply is beyond our comprehension. That the picture is burning and she doesn’t do anything to stop it (she might’ve even started the fire herself) (even though she’s the hydro! archon) might indicate that she’s disregarding facts, especially when she thinks a case is boring. She asks when there’s going to be a real surprise and holds up the burnt photo so that the edges align perfectly with the throne kinda thing the judge is sitting on. That might show that the judge is suspicious, and not what he seems to be. That’s especially damning as he seems to be close to the archon.

Down the Rabbithole, Part 2

First

Damian frowned confusedly.

He had been doing so since he had woken up in the arms of a woman he swore he had only ever seen in passing, and even then that was on TV, during news reports that had been skipped over as his so-called-siblings searched desperately for their favorite channels. But, eventually, he managed to pull the memories from his hazy mind, and he remembered that he had been essentially kidnapped by his brother and two random superheroes he had enlisted to help him.

That didn’t explain their surroundings, though. The area around them was liminal, to put it in simple words. Box-like, and yet round. Colorful, but the color white pressed in on him from all sides. Silent, but buzzing with an energy he could feel deep in his bones. He could feel the group moving, his body bounced just slightly with every step, and yet nothing around them seemed to move.

He hated it. It had the same feeling of wrongness that the Lazarus Pit did.

He made a strange sound in the back of his throat that he didn’t remember making before and Ladybug jumped, her shoulders hiking up to her ears.

A new face filled his vision and he blinked up at Drake. His brother’s domino lenses were wide with terror as he looked over Damian, head just barely shaking back and forth as he scanned him up and down repeatedly.

Damian struggled to free a hand from its blanket prison. It took an embarrassingly long time, but he managed to wiggle his hand out. He did not, however, manage to assault his brother. His hand refused to smack Drake despite his best efforts, instead it waved in a way that somewhat reminded Damian of the old men in cartoons that would shake their fists to get children off their lawns. Not what he was intending in the slightest, but still a rude gesture, so he would take it.

It must have worked, because Drake moved away on his own accord. Fine. He will live, then. For now.

“Someone else want to carry him?” Ladybug asked, pulling his attention away from where he was glaring at his brother, who was squinting right back at him. “Red Robin?”

“I don’t think he likes me, so no,” Drake said, like a coward. But a smart coward. Damian would have been sure to make his life hell if he had dared to touch him.

She sighed lightly. “Chaton?”

Chat Noir held up his hands. “I can’t. Because. Um.” An ornate black box with red designs swirling over it materialized out of thin air and dropped into his waiting hands. “My hands are full! Sorry!”

Ladybug rolled her eyes. “I swear to the gods. Chaton, take the kid. I want to get this drool off of me.”

He was not drooling! Especially not on someone else –!

He screeched and pulled his thumb from his mouth, staring at the slobber covering the offending appendage.

He held the hand out for everyone else to inspect, a silent ‘are you seeing this?!’ because his mouth refused to form coherent words. Unfortunately, the action was met with snickers from the miraculous holders and a full on cackle from Drake.

He found himself, somehow, even more offended than he had been just a few seconds prior. They’re laughing at him! He is suffering here!

Chat Noir grinned, and Damian noted idly that his teeth were just a smidge sharper than was normal. “I think you’ve got this, M’lady.”

She stuck her tongue out at him.

“I could take him,” a voice nearby crooned… though calling it a voice was quite an understatement, when the person spoke it sounded more like a chorus of people talking at the same time, their words overlapping into something that he both struggled to decipher and yet understood perfectly. Every hair on Damian’s body – admittedly there were less of them now than there were a few hours prior, but the point still stands – seemed to stand on end. His head jerked to look at them, wondering how he had missed such a presence.

The person had vibrant, almost definitely dyed red hair. They wore a similar costume to Ladybug, but theirs was a mix of white and pale blue. An umbrella of the same color was perched over their shoulder as they walked, leading the way through the space, and Damian couldn’t tell whether the person was spinning the umbrella or whether it was simply shimmering with magic. They walked backwards, likely to keep an eye on the people around them, or maybe they just knew their way around the space so well that they didn’t need to look, though Damian couldn’t imagine how someone could know or understand a place like this. They seemed self-assured, judging by their smile, though, so maybe they did.

Their blue eyes were strange, too bright and yet unfocused even as they stared at him. They were unsettling. They made him want to run.

The effect of it all was only somewhat nullified by the bunny ears sitting in their hair.

Bunnix. The cryptic (bitch) bunny that Ladybug had mentioned.

The arms around him tightened. He might have protested if he wasn’t extremely thrown by the new ‘person’. While Chat Noir and Ladybug were so odd that he was sure he would be able to pinpoint them as metas in the middle of a crowd even if they were in their civilian identities, they still felt human. They still joked around and laughed and panicked and behaved in ways that made Damian okay with being around them. Bunnix was not the same. It didn’t feel like Bunnix was even of this world, they moved in a way that was too fluid to be normal, smiled in a way that screamed that they knew more than you ever could, spoke in a way that bounced against the walls as if desperate to escape, as if Bunnix was only just contained in the body they were using now of their own sheer will, and that they were more than willing to drop the act at any moment.

“No. The offer is appreciated, though,” Chat Noir said, smiling politely.

Well, at least Damian wasn’t the only one that was thrown. If even the people that apparently worked with Bunnix often seemed uncomfortable around them, then maybe it was okay for Damian to be so as well. At least upon initial introduction.

He wasn’t scared anymore, though. He may have been given a severe disadvantage by being shrunk down to the size of a baby and then robbed of his motor functions, but he was sure he could still beat the meta.

He just… was choosing not to. Richard had been teaching him about ‘mercy’ recently. He has decided to take those lessons to heart.

Bunnix tipped their head to the side, giving a mock pout that looked strange on their face. “Fine. I guess we’re here, anyways.”

Damian looked around. He wasn’t quite sure where ‘here’ was. They looked no closer to anything than they had been when he had woken up. He frowned confusedly.

But, maybe, he should have stopped expecting for things to make sense when he had watched someone get banished to the shadow realm. Because they were spinning through the air, his stomach swooping as gravity switched abruptly. Neither Chat Noir nor Ladybug looked all that perturbed, but Drake was quickly turning green as they spun in place.

“Ready?” Said Bunnix.

Absolutely not, please explain what you mean by that.

Drake sighed deeply, clutching the bag in his hands closer to his chest as if trying to comfort himself. “Yeah, I guess.”

Oh, the fact that Drake was resigned did not bode well.

Bunnix grinned widely and flicked their wrist at him, a kind of ‘go on’ gesture, and Drake began to plummet rapidly towards one of the many spots of color decorating the white void they had found themselves in. His high-pitched scream got fainter and fainter as he fell, longer and longer until his yelling was little more than a quiet whisper in his ears, but it took another three seconds before his brother disappeared, the world around them rippling as he breached the surface of the dimension he had been dropped into.

Damian would have laughed at his brother’s screaming, but unfortunately he was pretty sure that he was going to be doing the same in just a few moments.

It was silent for a beat.

“You’re still here,” Bunnix said carefully, just barely rocking on their feet as they looked between Ladybug and Chat Noir, seemingly trying to decipher something from the pair’s expressions.

“We are!” Ladybug said, her voice sounding strange. It buzzed in Damian’s chest and he was unable to suppress the tiny gasp he gave at the strange sensation. She blinked and looked down at him, then gave a slightly sheepish smile. The buzzing cut off abruptly in favor of a mumbled “Sorry.”

He squinted up at her, trying to figure out what exactly the buzzing had meant.

“Oh, if that’s weird for you, you are going to have quite the experience in our world, now, aren’t you?” She teased, pinching his cheek. He tried to bite her fingers, but unfortunately he only had gums. She still cringed a little, though, so he was going to take the win.

Chat Noir grinned, sitting down on a not-floor and setting the ornate box in front of him. Light flickered beneath his hands and he gave Ladybug a meaningful look. She snorted and nudged it with her foot.

The box popped open, revealing jewelry that shimmered strangely in the brilliant white of the void.

“What’re you doing?” Bunnix tilted their head to the side, one of their ears flopping.

“Oh, you know…” He pulled out what looked to be a choker and glanced at Ladybug, who nodded her agreement. “Just getting the miraculous that would suit Red Robin best…”

Bunnix’s eyes narrowed even more, somehow. “You can do that later, can’t you?”

“We could,” said Ladybug.

Chat Noir stuffed the necklace into his pocket and slammed the lid of the box shut. “But that would mean that we couldn’t do this.”

Chat Noir threw the box at Bunnix’s head. They dropped their umbrella to catch it on instinct, but seemed to instantly regret it as their eyes blew wide. They said something in a language that even Damian didn’t know, but it was definitely some kind of curse – though Damian wasn’t sure whether it was of the magical variety or just the rude variety.

That seemed like an overreaction at first, but then the red of the designs on the box started to glow. Brilliant red light sept out of the designs and then started snaking its way over their hands, curling itself around their wrists like manacles.

“Enjoy the curse,” said Chat Noir, doing a two-finger salute before tipping backwards. And then he was diving towards the speck of brightness that Drake had disappeared through.

Bunnix screamed, a wordless cry.

“This is what you get for being cryptic and annoying!” Ladybug yelled, a gleam in her eyes as wings unfurled from her back.

And then she was shooting downwards after her partner. Damian turned to bury his face in her shoulder despite his pride, squeezing his eyes shut tight so they didn’t water.

Ladybug yelled something after Chat Noir as they passed, using that same strange language Bunnix had just spoken in, and he could hear a sound that Damian was pretty sure was an agreement.

And then his ears popped.

After the strange nothing-everything of the void, the sudden burst into reality almost hurt. Sounds danced around in his skull and he gave a high scream as it pressed in on him on all sides.

The falling sensation stopped, and he heard the quiet crunch of gravel and a curse from Drake and there were cars and a quiet buzzing and some weird crackling sound and a low rumble and people talking in frantic whispers that he couldn’t even close to understand –.

Something fitted itself over his ears and the world disappeared, muted until it was little more than a faint hum.

He still couldn’t stop crying. It was as if the tight lock he kept around his emotions had been broken and the tears that he normally would have held back with ease had taken their first chance to escape. He struggled to breathe through all of the crying, his chest shook with every sob.

The arms that had been holding him for so long that he had almost started to feel like they were a part of him let go, and he gave a keening cry, sure he was about to fall, but then he found himself being hugged by someone else. He was pressed close to someone’s chest, his head tucked under their chin, and then he was simply held.

And, horribly, mortifyingly, he found himself relaxing. Fingers combed through his short hair, and it was so so soothing. Calmness that he hadn’t been able to achieve on his own was almost pushed onto him, and while he was perfectly happy to accept being content, he didn’t like that the two times he had cried so far as a baby he had needed help to stop. It could be a coincidence, or it could be the start of a very disturbing pattern.

He slowly pulled his face out of the chest of the person, still sniffling more than he would ever admit. The world around them was bright and swirling with colors that made him tear up again, so he forced himself to unfocus his eyes and find something close to look at instead. He found something easily, seeing as he was currently being held by Drake.

His brother looked down at him, giving a tentative half-smile.

Damian’s gaze found its way to the bright red and black things on his brother’s ears, not wanting to think too much about the soft look in the man’s gaze, and he blinked at the large, black headphones covering his ears.

And then he pulled a hand up to his own head. After a few clumsy attempts where he smacked his head and almost sent himself into another wave of tears, he found his way to his own ears. He had a set of headphones on, too. That explained why things had suddenly cut off.

A shadow passed over them all and Damian looked up to find something dark leaning over them to provide a kind of shade. The smoky mass stretched longer and longer until it almost surrounded them, leaving them in a bubble of inky darkness with nothing to provide light other than luminous green eyes that floated around the shadow.

Drake hesitantly tugged at his headphones, and then heaved a deep, relieved sigh. He pulled down his headphones and then removed Damian’s for him.

The world wasn’t nearly as quiet as it had been when he had been wearing the mufflers, but it wasn’t painful anymore.

A person awkwardly cleared their throat. Damian looked over and his eyes widened when he found a… well, to say a regular person would be a stretch, his eyes were still slitted and his teeth were pointy and his nails looked deathly sharp, but his super suit had disappeared. He was left in a black off-the-shoulder sweater and bright white jeans. He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, white fingerless gloves easy to track in the darkness. “Sorry, we forgot how… much this world can be for humans at first.”

“Yeah, let me call Pegasus so he can get us to our apartment,” Ladybug said, and his eyes found their way to her. She, too, had lost the superhero aspects of her appearance, instead standing there in a ruffled, red romper. A plastic pin of a ladybug was fastened to her chest. She pushed her heart-shaped sunglasses up to rest in her hair, showing off bright white eyes and a smattering of freckles on her cheeks, so she could press her yoyo to her ear without it disturbing her glasses. “That should be better for acclimating them.”

“That sounds like we’re fish that you’re trying to get used to a certain temperature of water,” Drake joked, but his voice was weak and shaky.

Chat Noir gave a too-sharp smile and made a so-so motion with his hand. “I mean…”

Drake gave a gasp full of mock offense. Damian was actually offended. He shook his fist at Chat Noir.

“He’s an angry lil guy, huh?” Chat said, leaning closer with amusement when he should have been terrified.

Drake nodded. “You should see him when he’s older. Glares at everyone. All the time.”

This was embarrassing. He was being insulted. To his face. And he couldn’t even find a retort for it because his mouth had decided to give up on him. This was the worst possible timeline.

“Hey,” Ladybug cooed into her phone. Then, she huffed, resting her free hand on her hip. “I don’t only call you for help, you know…” There was a beat. “Maybe,” she said, somewhat sheepish. “We’re at the station. You’ll see why we’re not walking when you get here.”

There was a blink of light behind them and every head whipped in the person’s direction. The new person, a man, snorted at all of their shocked expressions. Their dreads were pulled into a ponytail, but this may have been the coolest thing about them. Everything about their outfit screamed ‘nerd’, from the suspenders to the khakis to the sweater vest to the thick glasses. A disk of what seemed to be pure light was pressed to his ear.

“I’m here,” he said helpfully, clicking something on the ‘phone’ and shoving it into his pocket.

Chat Noir sighed deeply, peeking his head out from behind Ladybug. His hair stood on end. “Hey, Pegasus.”

Pegasus winked. “Nice to see you again. Chat Noir. Ladybug.” His eyes found their way to the pair huddled on the ground and then blew wide. “Holy… are these humans?”

“Yep. They’re going to be staying with us for a while.”

Pegasus turned to the pair of miraculous holders, looking like he was only just barely stopping himself from staring at them with open-mouthed shock. “I know you two wanted to stay even after all the Hawkmoth stuff, but I thought you were just bored, did you actually fall in love and have a kid?”

Ladybug pressed a hand to her mouth to hide a laugh. “Absolutely not.”

“It’s complicated,” Drake put in when Pegasus opened his mouth with a frown, clearly about to ask. “But, no, we’re not dating. We’re just… raising a kid together.”

There was a collective wince. Yeah. That sounded like they were dating. Poor Ladybug and Chat Noir, no one should be subjected to dating Drake. But, also, far more importantly, Damian was sure they were not at all suitable partners for his adoptive brother.

Pegasus snorted. “Yeah. Okay.” And then he tipped his head back. “K?”

A tiny horse head popped out of nowhere. It made a whinnying sound that couldn’t have been words, and yet it must have been because Pegasus responded with ease:

“You up for transporting everyone?”

The horse gave a huffing sound. More horse parts appeared. A tail. A leg. A single hoof. Piece by piece, ‘K’ came into being and started assembling themselves into a kind of body.

Once it was complete, the world around them blinked, and they were dropped into a new place.

Drake made a quiet ‘mph’ sound, his grip tightening momentarily, and then he sighed. “Teleportation…” He removed one of the hands he was hugging Damian with (which should be a crime, really) to rub at his temples. “This is all…”

“A lot?” Pegasus offered, smiling lightly. “Don’t worry, we all take a minute to adjust. You should have seen Chat Noir when he was first invited, he was stumbling over his legs like a little foal.”

The horse made a snorting sound.

Pegasus huffed. “Shut up, K.”

The inky blackness retreated, revealing… what looked to be a regular apartment, thank god. Sure, he could still see some of the weirdness even here – the bed was less of a bed and more of a mass of blankets, the place was littered with what he assumed were electronics considering how closely they resembled the ‘phone’ Pegasus had been using, and the ceiling looked more like a jungle gym than anything. But at least it had a familiar layout to the safehouses he and his family often used.

His standards were rapidly lowering, apparently.

The smoky being condensed into something that looked almost solid. It came to rest around Chat Noir’s shoulders, curling around him like a scarf. It meowed.

Chat sighed. “Yeah, yeah, I’ll burn something for you later. Go ahead and sleep.”

The cat-thing seemed to settle at that. Bright green eyes winked out and it began to purr quietly.

Ladybug sighed lightly and a few glittering coins materialized in her hand. “So, how much do I owe you?”

“Nothing, if you let me talk to the humans,” Pegasus said, long eyelashes fluttering ‘innocently’ behind his glasses.

“Nope. Is twenty okay?”

Pegasus huffed, but nodded, taking the coins. He counted them out carefully before tossing them in the air. They disappeared.

Damian wasn’t sure why anything surprised him anymore.

Pegasus yawned, stretching his shoulders. “Right, well, if that’s all you need, I’ll be going.”

“Bye Peg.”

Chat Noir winced. “You have to stop calling him that.”

“Then explain why!” Ladybug pouted. “I looked it up last week! There is nothing wrong with the word ‘peg’.”

“I wouldn’t say wrong… it just… has a new meaning that might give off the wrong idea…” Chat Noir said, biting his lip nervously. He glanced at Drake, as if he could somehow help.

Drake shook his head. “I’m not explaining that to someone. I have a baby in my lap. I’m exempt.”

Pegasus and Ladybug gave each other confused glances. Pegasus shrugged his shoulders. “I’ll ask someone about it later,” he said.

“Do not.”

“Too late!” He held up a peace sign, and then promptly disappeared.

Ladybug seemed unperturbed, and Chat Noir’s distress seemed to be due to the fact that Pegasus and Ladybug might find out about pegging in an unfortunate way than because his friend had dematerialized in front of him, so this was probably fine.

Ladybug yawned, rubbing white eyes. “We’ll have to get you used to this place before we can even think about taking you shopping to get things set up… I’m guessing you’re not letting them in the bed, Chaton?”

“I’d rather die.”

She sighed and, even though she had no pupils or irises by which to gauge this, Damian was sure she was rolling her eyes. “Fine. I’ll make a bed, too, while I’m busy constructing an entire room.”

The ladybug pin revealed itself to not be a pin at all, fluttering off of her and floating in front of her face. It was the exact opposite of the cat that had curled itself around Chat Noir’s neck, which looked like a smoky mirage that was one breath away from disappearing, because it looked almost too existent. Plasticy and fake.

Ladybug grinned at it. “Yes, Teeks, I would appreciate your help.”

The ladybug didn’t make a sound, but Ladybug nodded as if it had said something insightful nonetheless.

Damian reached a hand for it and the ladybug came to rest on his hand. He did not giggle when it started crawling around on his palm. Shut up.

“So, uh…” Drake started carefully, leaning over Damian’s head to peer at the ladybug as well. “What’s up with the weird animals?”

“They’re our gods,” Ladybug said with a small shrug, as if this was totally normal and fine.

“Those can’t be gods,” Drake said, frowning.

Ladybug raised an eyebrow, amused. “Oh?”

“Yeah. I’m Jewish.”

Chat Noir turned to snicker into his hand.

20 Mind-Blowing Hacks That'll Change Your Life 🚀

#IngeniousInnovations In a world where we often focus on our own issues, it's a breath of fresh air to discover people who've stepped up to solve problems we never even knew we had. You know, those pesky problems that are like that distant relative at family gatherings—annoying, yet you can't quite put your finger on why they bother you so much. Well, fret not, for here's a collection of solutions that are so brilliantly ridiculous, they'll have you scratching your head and laughing all the way to the "that's-so-strange-it-just-might-work" bank. 1. Bag Holding Chair: The Chair-Raiser Extraordinaire! Ever found yourself juggling your morning coffee, your bag, and your sanity? Fear not! Behold, the Chair-Raiser Extraordinaire! This majestic creation combines the comfort of a chair with the convenience of a bag holder. No more coffee spills or awkward bag balancing acts. You can sit back, sip, and bask in the glory of human ingenuity. 2. "Where's Wally" Dentist: Cavities and Hide-and-Seek Dentists have a way of making you feel like a hostage to their probing hands. But guess what? There's a dental hero among us! A local dentist had the genius idea of installing a "Where's Wally" on the ceiling. Now, you can play hide-and-seek with a tiny, bespectacled man while your mouth plays host to dental instruments. Peak entertainment, I tell you. 3. Plastic Bottle Payday: Recycle Your Way to Riches China has turned recycling into a full-blown economic venture with Plastic Bottle Payday. Imagine riding the subway, sipping your drink, and then—bam!—collecting actual money by recycling the bottle. It's like winning the recycling lottery! Your pocket change just got a whole lot greener. 4. Freedom of Shopping: Staff-Free Shopping Spree Ever felt like a detective was tailing you during your shopping escapades? Enter the Freedom of Shopping store. They let you decide whether you want to be followed or not. Imagine the power! Will they follow? Won't they? The suspense is almost as exhilarating as finding that perfect pair of socks. 5. Rotating Bench: Dry Bum Solution Rain-soaked benches have haunted us all at some point. But behold, the Rotating Bench! One side stays dry no matter the weather. No more awkward towel dances before sitting. Just plop down and revel in your dry-bottomed victory. 6. Winter Simulator: "Icy" Shopping Experience Ever bought winter clothes that were about as effective as a paper umbrella in a monsoon? Welcome to the Winter Simulator. Experience subzero temperatures and test winter wear before you commit to it. Shopping just turned into an extreme sport, and you're the champion. 7. Elevator Pedal Power: A Leg Up on Elevator Etiquette Picture this: you're in an elevator loaded down with bags, yet you're one hand short to press the button. No worries! The Elevator Pedal Power has got your back—well, your foot, actually. Just tap the button with your fancy footwork and ascend to elevator-button-pushing glory. 8. Seatbelt Serenade: Crooning for Safety Seatbelts can be annoyingly insistent, but they're like that clingy friend who actually has your best interests at heart. Introducing the Seatbelt Serenade! If you dare to drive without buckling up, you'll be serenaded with a soundtrack of silence. Safety first, and silence second. 9. Doggo-Human Hydration Station: Quenching Thirsts, Two Species at a Time Dogs are always panting for a cool drink, and humans are—well, let's just say we appreciate hydration too. The Doggo-Human Hydration Station is a fountain of goodwill, catering to parched pooches and thirsty people alike. It's like a water cooler, but cooler. 10. Toilet Paper Surprise: When Small Packages Are a Big Deal Ah, the infamous empty toilet paper roll—bane of bathrooms everywhere. But wait! Behold the Toilet Paper Surprise—a smaller roll tucked away, ready to save the day. It's like the hidden snack stash you wish your office desk had. 11. Multi-Tasking Tie: Sartorial Elegance Meets Gadgetry Ties are supposed to be fancy, right? Well, not anymore! This tie moonlights as a gadget cleaner. With its built-in microfiber lining, you can now stylishly buff your screens, leaving them pristine and tie-tanic. 12. Skateboard Sanctuary: The "Skate Safe" School Skateboards aren't just wheeled planks; they're expressions of your inner Tony Hawk. And this school gets it. They've built a Skate Safe zone, protecting beloved boards from disappearing into the abyss of skateboard thieves. School's in session, tricks included. 13. Sign Language: Non-Verbal "Closed for Business" Typical "Closed for Business" signs are boring. But not this one! It's practically dancing. The Sign Language sign shimmies its "N" to let you know they're closed. A twist on the classics—one twirl at a time. 14. Serenading Stall: Symphony of Privacy We've all been there: bathroom noises that are louder than your internal panic. Say hello to the Serenading Stall! This Japanese toilet comes with a privacy button that serenades your business, muffling the potentially embarrassing sounds. Music to our ears—and other parts. 15. Pump Overhead: Gas Pump Liberation Worried about pulling up to the gas pump on the wrong side? Fear not! In Seoul, the gas pump dangles from the ceiling like an automotive trapeze artist. Now you can fuel up with confidence, regardless of which side your petrol cap calls home. 16. All-Ages Picnic: Where Adults and Kids Play in Harmony Picnic tables: the great segregators of our parks. But not anymore! Welcome to the All-Ages Picnic zone, where adults and kids can finally break bread together. It's a utopia of hotdogs, laughter, and no more "kids' table." 17. Toilet Paper Trials: The Great TP Taste Test Toilet paper is a serious business—softness, strength, and other factors that might require a spreadsheet. But rejoice, for there are Toilet Paper Trials! A supermarket that lets you test-drive your TP, making sure it's a perfect match for your posterior. 18. Makeup Magic: Towels That Keep Secrets Ladies, removing makeup can feel like a CSI episode. But behold the Makeup Magic towels! They'll soak up the smudges without broadcasting your colorful secrets to the world.
