#i just hope that he doesn't receive any death threats after this cause i don't want a repeat of all that

[thebreadwing]

[demonkinguwu]

hey i know you're not in the ahit fandom anymore but i have to ask, why did you ship vanessa x snatcher? not to be mean but i was just curious this whole time it's okay if you don't wanna answer

Well, this is certainly a surprise lol

While I'm not really into AHIT much anymore, it'll always be special to me, so I don't mind answering this for old time's sake

[Warning: I will talk about Snatcher x Vanessa in a sort of positive way. Please don't read or send me any hate if it's not your cup of tea or don't like it. I know this warning might be a bit much but I have received harassment over this topic/liking Vanessa before, so I feel it's needed. Please feel free to block me/ or ignore this if it makes you uncomfortable. Thank you👍]

Personally, I think they're neat.

Yeah, it was a toxic relationship in canon, probably for the best they aren't a thing anymore. But the thing is, even in canon there are tiny hints that the current Snatcher might even have a crush on her or at least doesn't care too much about her [though admittedly yes, he is somewhat bitter over his death]. Just look at the Seal the Deal DLC

"We all have a soulmate, supposedly. I know I do, she's waiting for me, I don't see anyone waiting for you."

Always thought this line was weird if he 100% hated her. like, he could have told HK: "I had a soulmate once, let's just hope if you have one, they'll be just as wonderful as she was." Like, he's already giving the child death threats, I don't think he's above wishing HK a similar fate to his.

I'm sure there are more instances but I just got the feel that Snatcher, while somewhat bitter about his death and all, he's pretty much doesn't fear her or anything, maybe even finds her evilness kinda hot now, who knows?

Canonwise, I don't really see them working out as he is too mad about what she did and she doesn't recognize him/hates him but that leads to the actual reason why I liked them.

AUs Listen, Imma be real with you all, most of my enjoyment of AHIT was because of AUs. IDK, for me this game was so easy to make AUs of, especially the Subcon Forest chapter. I like to think of alternative endings or heck, fill-in lore and all. I think Vanessa being an ambiguous character helps a lot in this regard [I mean aside from my preferences of evil women n yanderes in general]

I know she went crazy after she 'caught' the prince and florist but I like to wonder why, as I do have a personal belief no one is truly born evil, I just think they're influenced into coming it. I also like to wonder about different scenarios and all using these characters. I just think in concept they could be neat.

That's not to say I only made AUs to ship them, I mean, [points at my RoleSwap AU where Vanessa literally hates/fears Snacter more than Canon Snatcher hates Vanessa] But the bulk of them are little what ifs and giving them a chance to either fix things or work things out.

Anyways, yeah, I just like them cause there are just two people who are intertwined, it's easier to make AUs of them and explore Subcon as a whole in general. Yes, I'm also one of those who like character redemption arcs. Hell, one of my OCs was an absolutely obsessive bastard man that I thought would never get redeemed or like much but whoops, me n partner like him now to give him two whole bfs.

So yeah, that's pretty much it. I'm sure I would have written an entire essay before but I'm not really much into this game as before. The only thing I'm invested in currently involving AHIT is a crossover AU that came from RPing in which my RS Vanessa has a tsundere crush on my partner's horrible AU MJ unicorn guy who she will take the hammer and FIX HIM

I will probably replay sometime later this year but currently busy with other stuff and fandoms. I can't guarantee I'll be back into it, but hey who knows, maybe I will.

Bjyx fandom harasses and sends threats to Wang Yibo

On January 13, 2024 and January 14, 2024, there was a massive harassment attack by bjyx on Wang Yibo and Yibo Official.

That time bjyx started spamming Yibo and his team's Weibo posts with colors unrelated to Yibo, which we know that he doesn't identify with himself or his fandom. The name of an unrelated person (Xiao Zhan) and "couple" photos edited by bjyx also appeared, which was a complete violation of all rules and decency.

It is said that bjyx bought about thirty so-called "white accounts" to stay at the top of the comments, pushing down the comments of the rightful Yibo's fandom - mtjjs.

What are "white accounts"?

White accounts on Weibo are accounts that can be purchased from Sina, along with the appropriate power and number of likes. Such accounts remain "on top" of the comment section even if other accounts have a similar or even greater number of likes and comments. No accounts that rely on real heat can beat them in a short period of time. 

No amount of "team building" can create what happened under Yibo's post. The use of white accounts caused his account to behave abnormally and it was only a miracle that he avoided problems with the authorities.

Yesterday I was wondering why bjyx are so angry to the point of harassing Yibo (Xiao Zhan's account and his studio were obviously not attacked in this way). Then I realized it was some kind of show of power.

Various events over the past year have shown how much Yibo ignores and even despises the bjyx fandom and their idol Xiao Zhan.

Yibo who deleted Untamed from his bio.

Yibo who didn't seek any interaction with Xiao Zhan despite two events in which they both participated. Yibo who left early twice.

Yuehua concert 2023 where Yibo twice didn't bow to the audience just because it was full of bjyx.

Yibo and his brands that repel bjyx.

Yibo, who, unlike Xiao Zhan, does not "sell candy".

Yibo, who is trying to make it clear that he has nothing to do with Xiao Zhan and does not accept bjyx.

All this makes bjyx angry because they know he is the one who wants to "break cp".

So in their desperation they try to blackmail him by showing him how much power and audacity they have, so that he will understand that if he doesn't stop rejecting them, they will be able to destroy him.

That's how I thought about it before.

Today it turned out that on 13/01/2024 (the exact day bjyx were harassing Yibo) 一品羡气 - big bjyx account (700k followers !) threatened Yibo with death if he "became solo", what means if he broke cp.

Of course, death threats to Yibo from bjyx have happened before - in 2019 during 88 incident (the death threats were due to false dating rumors), and also after Yibo removed Untamed from his Weibo bio.

But I hope everyone understands that this type of post is a warning to Yibo - "don't you dare go against us, otherwise we will destroy you."

Bjyx always says that "if one of them clearly states that our cp is fake, then we will stop shipping", but at the same time when one of them (Yibo) is visibly closer to this moment, they bully him and seriously threaten him into not doing so.

At this stage, Yibo's acting career is not yet fully stable, and he needs peace to work, develop and take on new challenges.

With the amount of hate he already receives, mainly from Xiao Zhan's fans, he won't want to add three million new haters who will act like rabid dogs. So he will still ignore bjyx and their fave Xiao Zhan, but he will remain silent. And we fans understand that.

So that he can calmly focus on work, his hobbies and friends, we must be his teeth and claws. And we will. I promise you this.

I knew there was a transphobic bad actor on the moderation team that it took Tumblr awhile to discover and consequently fire. I know that Tumblr blocks searching for various transgender-related words, probably in submission to the Apple app store's awful whims. I know that Tumblr previously settled a case about how the automated porn-detection system was unfairly biased against trans people, and I thought Tumblr was trying to do better after that.

I was following the CEO photomatt, and so a post winds up on my dashboard from him about the banning of user predstrogen. I didn't really have any specific context before reading photomatt's post. I read it... yeah, that fired bad actor, yeah, nod, nod... predstrogen has been banned not because she is trans (I sure hope not), but because she has sent death threats? And he's going to even show us an example death threat? To be honest, I am not sure if that's really a good thing to show us, doesn't that violate some sort of privacy or something?

But there it is, and the death threat is a post that says: "I hope photomatt dies forever a painful death involving a car covered in hammers that explodes more than a few times and hammers go flying everywhere"

And I just sat blinking at that for awhile. That's not a death threat. That's nothing the FBI should investigate. That's just a typical Tumblr post. That's some Looney Tunes humor. My only critique is maybe then the hammers should explode too. And then there can be the shot of the globe exploding. And then there's a white void, and Daffy Duck walks in from screen right and says, "Hm, tough crowd tonight." And explodes.

Personally, I am very strongly opposed to "kill yourself" shit, or "someone should kill that person" shit, but merely hoping someone dies??? There are plenty of people in this world that I hope have a very radical change of heart, and failing that, it might be better if they drop dead of natural causes sooner rather than later. Is that belief a bannable offense in Tumblr's eyes? How many memes circulated leading up to the death of Queen Elizabeth? The currently declining health of King Charles? That time Donald Trump got covid? Do you really want to take Tumblr in the direction where voicing that you hope someone dies is a bannable offense? Do you want to bring fucking "unalive" culture here? Should I avoid using the f-word too?

And then photomatt's post continued with another screenshot where predstrogen mused, "how long until deathwishes against the ceo get me banned or flagged. right now im pissed off enough that I want to find out."

And my initial reaction to that was, why is this being included? There's nothing relevant here.

And photomatt interpreted that as: "The second part seems to indicate she wanted to be suspended, I'm unaware of why, perhaps to create this sort of uproar."

Why is that evidence to ban someone? That's some petty shit. You perceived this as daring you to ban her, so you banned her??? And you present this as evidence that it was a good idea to ban her???? You thought she was trolling, so you fed the trolls? What, is saying you dare Tumblr to ban you against the Terms of Service now???

And, personally, I didn't read that as predstrogen daring Tumblr to ban her. I don't know or follow predstrogen, and I don't know if this is accurate, but in witnessing this, I have gleaned that she's an out-and-proud transwoman who has spoken out about being unfairly censored by the Tumblr moderation team. Being an out-and-proud transwoman probably means that predstrogen also is frequently targeted by terf hate campaigns. That means predstrogen probably has frequent first-hand experience of 1) how her posts get ridiculously flagged, seemingly for no other reason than that she is trans (something we know for a fact happens sometimes, given that there was that bad actor and the biased porn-detection system), and 2) receiving harassment and death-threats from terfs that Tumblr moderation doesn't seem to be taking seriously, and even 3) how the terfs can file false reports in order to use the Tumblr moderation system itself against her! I could imagine it must be extremely frustrating to be targeted by hate, and then wind up being the one who is silenced by the very moderation system that is the only source of help for these matters. I could imagine predstrogen saying those sort of things with the frustration of, look, I said some Looney Tunes shit, while I have this pile of death threats against me. Watch nothing happen to that pile, while I get banned in 5... 4... 3...

Probably not the best PR move, but something I can understand someone doing while at their wits end at the unfairness of it all.

At this point in my reading, I thought that photomatt was possibly well-intentioned but really clueless and severely missing the point.

And in the meanwhile, I saw people calling him out for his pronoun usage. There is a point about how photomatt initially was using the gender-neutral "they" when he could have used the more specific "she"... I know that personally, I had a period when I was defaulting to using neutral "they" for everybody, with the idea of always leaving it open and never making a wrong assumption... And I later realized I should instead make the effort to use the top-preferred pronoun instead - I imagine the top-preferred pronoun would be much more validating and supportive rather than always defaulting to "they". But I'd say defaulting to "they" is an attempt that could be better. And it's also true that you can't exactly check the pinned post of a nuked blog for the preferred pronouns.

But then people started yelling that photomatt was misgendering her as "it". That's because, in his haste to avoid a faux pas when told "they" was wrong, photomatt changed his language to refer to "the account" and "the post" rather than predstrogen the person, so as to dodge the question of pronouns entirely. I saw people continuing to rail on: "it says it hopes I die forever a painful death" as being misgendering. He was talking about the post, the writing, not the person. It's colloquial and maybe a bit of mangled phrasing, but pointing to this as misgendering is pretty disingenuous. Not as disingenuous as claiming it's a death-threat to say "I hope you're hit by the Looney-Tunes-mobile", but still, come on...

But then more posts from photomatt continued arriving on my dashboard, and they quickly dissolved from corporate-speak on inclusivity... to trying to prove what a good ally he truly truly is... down to petty shit like reblogging people who say they support him... and then garbage like in the image above threatening to delete Tumblr as some sort of mega-flounce.

Definitely not the best PR move, but something I can understand someone wanting to do while at their wits end at the perceived unfairness of it all. But a CEO should NOT do such things.

I thought that when photomatt started saying, wow, it's really horrendous to be the target of a massive online pile-on, and Tumblr doesn't really offer good tools to deal with that, I thought he was having some better-late-than-never understanding of what predstrogen has probably been going through. And understanding that Tumblr could benefit from some serious reconsideration in that area. Perhaps even someone like predstrogen could provide feedback on new features like that. But NOPE. He was only giving us a public tantrum from the company's CEO. Nice one, boss.

Most recently, before finally unfollowing, I saw him re-reblog his post to promote someone's commentary saying that you'd have to be "brainless" to not perceive the Looney-Tunes-mobile as a death threat. Photomatt, is "brainless" the kind of language you want your impromptu spokesperson to use? Hammer-car, not okay, but "brainless" is corporate-approved? And you're really really digging in your heels on this, like that?

Photomatt, you're even fucking on sabbatical. Stop being on tumblr. Walk away, calm down, and realize that you were being an ass here. Go enjoy your sabbatical, and come back ready to take some sort of corporate training on listening and humility and inclusivity, because you clearly need a refresher. And probably hire someone to filter your posts before you make them, geez.

truly fucking incredible that the ceo actually thought it was a good idea to post "well if you're all going to be so mean to me then maybe there shouldn't even be a tumblr." incredible that his lawyers haven't told him to shut the fuck up and stop posting through it yet

[well-in-all-honesty-i]

TW: Suicide

OKAY SO- I wanted to talk about Mafuyu and Yuki’s relationship and why it ended the way it did. I should preface this by saying that the majority of this, although somewhat supported by canon, is my own personal headcanon and speculation. I’ve been surrounded by a lot of people who I believe Yuki to be similar to, but I am not 100% accurate or well versed and this is mostly just from what I’ve gotten from those situations. Also, a lot of questionable grammar-I type like I speak, which doesn't translate well haha.

So I want to chunk this into 3 big pieces because I enjoy organizing things: Yuki’s childhood, how that affected his personality as a young adult, and how both of these lead to his eventual death.

Starting off with his childhood:

This one is heavy speculation (as most of this is-but this bit is particularly so) since there isn’t much canon to support this-or provide a lot of insight. But, what little we do know is that 1) Yuki’s father wasn’t present in his life-probably even before Mafuyu’s father had been jailed-and that, 2) Yuki and his father shared the same bull-headedness (?) and pride that Saeko believes led to his death.

I personally believe that Yuki’s father was someone who might have struggled with some sort of mental illness, as well as has had a problem with alcohol abuse. I also imagine that he probably disappeared or passed-either due to some sort of alcohol-related problem or suicide.

Saeko, from how she is characterized in the story, seems to be a very strong-willed and assertive person. In the aftermath of Yuki’s death, she's relatively composed and seems to have almost expected this to happen, although maybe not in the specific way it did. [Ex: When she tells Mafuyu that Yuki was always the type of person to die in a chicken race (a competition of pride, of sorts, that usually ends badly) and when she mentions him being similar to his father in that sense.]

In the flashbacks in the anime, when Mafuyu tells Yuki that his father beats him when he talks, Yuki’s response of ‘You know, a real father doesn’t do that.’ doesn’t sound like something a small child’s first response would be. It’s a bit of a reach-but considering that, as well as how prompt the response from his mother seemed to be (when Mafuyu’s father was jailed-not much time seems to have passed, and since both of their mothers are present, I've always assumed that Yuki's mother found out through her son and acted accordingly.),- it would make sense that Yuki might have some prior experience with this. Especially if his mother had gone through something similar-she probably would’ve warned him very strongly against the ideal his father had set, making Yuki want to be very far from that.

Speaking of which-I assume that Yuki probably had a very rough-if short-lived-relationship with his father when he was around. Given the stuff above, his father was probably someone who was emotionally volatile and tended to lose control when upset. If he had an alcohol problem, he might’ve caused a financial strain that fell onto Saeko as well.

Since his father was out of the picture and Saeko herself wasn't around as much as Yuki might've needed, it would have made him both very independent from his parents and adults in general, while also heavily reliant on Mafuyu (Hiiragi quotes both Mafuyu and Yuki to have been latchkey kids who found comfort in each other), both of which twist into the situation he found himself in later in life.

Leading into his teen years:

Yuki, as a young adult, is very independent-he works multiple jobs to pay for the expenses of being in a band, makes a point to avoid drinking, and is very affectionate towards Mafuyu. I'm not too sure about the reasoning behind why the four friends chose the high schools they did, but if Yuki's mother didn't directly influence that decision it's likely it was a choice made in direct relation to their band.

There's also very little interference from any adults in Yuki's life-namely, his mother. As someone who was probably very busy working as a single mother to support the two of them, her mentality was just to support him monetarily and let Mafuyu provide the emotional support in her place.

I think she also assumed her attempts wouldn't have been well received-most people noted how close Yuki and Mafuyu were and seemed to always assume that they had each other handled and that nobody had to worry about either of them because of it. In every way, it was simply easier to show Yuki she cared by not interfering and letting him hold the reigns of his own life.

A big indicator of this idea for me what when Saeko talked about how Yuki ordered his own ramen, the type he liked. It's a small thing, but it started me to read because it highlighted the amount of input his mother had on his life; which was very little. I don't know if he even used her money or chose to use the extra from his jobs to pay for it, but either way, it sort of put their relationship into perspective.

The impact it had:

Yuki probably had a lot of resentment towards his father, or, at the very least, a desire to turn out different. And oftentimes when a person is very strongly trying to avoid turning out like someone, they ignore or avoid acknowledging the similarities, rather than accepting and working on them to properly change. Without a strong parental/adult figure in his life, he wouldn't have considered insight beyond his own experiences. He's characterized to be moody and domineering, and Mafuyu is too soft-spoken to have brought up most issues until it reached its boiling point.

I believe Yuki might have had Borderline Personality Disorder to a mild extent. Some symptoms of BPD are mood swings, impulsivity, impaired social relationships, and a distorted self-image. They usually have thoughts of suicide or self-harming tendencies. When they feel insecure in relationships, in which they’re usually very, very invested, they tend to lash out or do rash things to keep them close.

Based on my relationships with the borderline people in my life, I've noticed that they usually bounce between having great confidence in themselves, to being incredibly insecure. It's hard to explain specifically, but they walk a fine line of being insecure and also maintaining a painfully strong ego, which makes them react very strongly when provoked, intentionally or not. Yuki and Mafuyu have a different type of relationship than I do with those people in my life which, for the two of them, means that Mafuyu probably had to provide lots of emotional support for Yuki, while also under the mild threat of Yuki coming to harm by his own actions.

Being with someone with these tendencies who is also unaware of them is very draining, especially for someone as mild and soft-spoken as Mafuyu is. Yuki tended to lead their relationship and was probably very noticeable when upset-and for someone who might not be used to speaking up or someone who has low self-confidence, it is difficult to bring up things. It doesn't feel safe if you don't know exactly how it would be received. Especially if they are the person you are closest to, it can be anxiety-inducing to try and bring up problems that don't seem to be incredibly important or unavoidable.

So, long story short-Yuki was closed off to receiving any kind of proper advice or criticism that would've saved him. Another symptom of BPD, as mentioned before, is suicidal ideation. So, if all these things are combined, it's a lot easier to see how he, surrounded by only his thoughts and ideas, would make the choice to take his own life when provoked.

It wasn't specifically that Mafuyu had caused his death, but more that he just sent him over the edge he had been teetering on for a long while. He was like his father in the sense that they had the same flaws that just came from different places. Yuki's pride came from the flip side of his insecurities and his own early independence, and his mental health issues as a whole are probably hereditary. The specificities of his death, where Yuki drinks after avoiding alcohol for his entire life, feels like he failed in his effort to avoid being like his father. He was different as a person but in the end, their flaws aligned and brought them to their end in parallels to each other.

Calling back to what his mom said-it doesn't feel unexpected. It is shocking, but not a surprise. Yuki was fiercely independent and wanted to learn and do new things, all on his own-including his own death and whatever follows after.

[I wrote this a while back and didn’t really like how most of it was speculation and hard to prove-but decided to post it anyway because I spent too much time on it lol.

Like I said before, most of this is just my head canons, but I hope it made sense! Feel free to add on with your stuff/arguments/headcanons :)]

C.M. Top 10: Most Dark & Gore Scenes &/or Characters in Cartoon Series

Warning: The following top ten may contain possible spoilers for those who haven't seen newer series. This post may also contain forms of graphic violence & some gore scenes that maybe too much for you to witness. So for your safety & others do not look unless it's at your own risk.

You've been warned...

We all discover at some point in time that not everything you know is allover the rainbow. Most times we see things we can't unsee or learn dark secrets of someone you thought you knew your whole life. & sometimes we learn things the hard way. Or the messed up dark way...

So for this 1st dark Top 10 features the most characters with a dark histories, secrets or just straight up dark/gore scenes. Which character did you not expect to have a dark side? Sadly you be the judge...

1. Invincible - Omni Man beating his son to a pulp.

After learning the dark truth that was revealed to Mark about his father's true intentions. Nolan tells his son the truth about why he was sent to Earth & why he killed the Guardians.

Telling him the reasons why he's here was so he could eliminate any potential threat to the Viltrum Empire. & that he was raising his son not out of responsibility or heroics, but to have him as a bred soldier of the Empire to kill anyone who stood in their way.

& he wanted Mark to join their cause with him.

After Mark angrily refused to help him conquer the planet. Nolan nearly beats the life out of his own son & yells to the top of his lungs saying how pointless it is to protect his home world. While killing millions of innocent people in the process of their brutal fight.

However before he could finish him off, Nolan suddenly realized what he did to his own child & fled the Earth in machspeed, shedding a tear.

They say fatherhood is complicated, but not like this...

2. Castlevania Lords of Shadow - Gabriel's dark fate

While on his journey to slay all three of the Lords of Shadow. Gabriel slowly learned they were the founders of the Order & told him the truth of his order's true intention from each Shadow Lord who too were being used by the Brotherhood of Light. Then when he finally reached the final Lord of Shadow, he learned about his wife's death & fell into dark despair.

Over time his heart grew darkened. & knew nothing but bitterness & sorrow...

But after defeating the three Lords, Laura appears to tell Gabriel that he awakened another ancient evil known as the Forgotten One. Who had plans to destroy all creation & they had to venture to the Brotherhood's fortress to find the entrance to where he was imprisoned.

However only dark begins can enter the realm. & the only way he can bypass it's effects & to defeat this ancient evil, was to become one himself...

So Laura asked him to drink her blood & free her of her torment. Hesitant at first he did what was asked of her & dranked every last drop of her blood, until she died.

He then defeated the Forgotten One & saved mankind. But at a cost of his soul & happiness.

Thus becoming a vampire.

A vampire the world would soon know & fear as Dracul the Dragon.

But that is another story...

3. Baki the Grappler - Yujiro Hanma

As most know Yujiro is the world's most unstoppable & cruelest warrior in the history of fighters. Not even the U.S. Military dares to go near him. Yes Yujiro the Orge has struck fear into many people, even military personnel of different countries. & he did it with no weapons & has turned the U.S. into his personal playground for death & battles.

But the most cruelest thing he's done was ripping the face of one of China's most respected Kaioh masters while facing him in battle, testing his worthiness. The reason Yujiro did this challenge was not to prove his worth but to show all of China & their leaders that they are worthless to him. & showed them all that he doesn't care about their hatred towards Japan noir their worthiness.

& he struck that fear into all who witnessed Ryu Kaioh getting defaced & brutally defeated. Yes this is one man who's definitely going to hell & is going to smile about it.

Because Satan himself would be pissing his buttflap in his sights in fear. While Yujiro fucks his succubus wife in front of his face knowing how little fucks he gives about his "sins."

4. Primal - Sauropod Massacre

After being infected by the Zombie Virus. The infected sauropod becomes a mad rouge & slaughters it's own herd in a bloody rage & massacre.

It left no survivors, ripped them apart & destroyed many of the herds' eggs leaving nothing remaining...

Truly whatever zombie virus this was it drove this poor creature mad & didn't stop until everything wasn't breathing.

Luckily Spear & Fang were able to run it into a dormant volcano. Where the infected dinosaur burnt to ash.

Hopefully now the poor beast is at peace...

5. Star Wars Rebels - Master Luminara's remains

In the search for Luminara to replace Kanan to be Ezra's new master. They soon learned too late that her remains were being used to lure any surviving Jedi out of hiding. So that any Sith Hunters like the Grand Inquisitor would slay them on the spot.

Sadly no one knows whatever happened to her corpse after they escaped. Or if the Empire even still has her.

Rest in peace Luminara wherever you are...

6. Legend of Tarzan - Death of Clayton

While battling in the trees, Tarzan defeated Clayton by tangling him into the jungle vines. But during his blind rage he angrily swiped vine after vine, until one wrapped his neck. Tarzan tried his best to warn him, but in his rage Claton cuts the vine that he was holding on to.

Then after it broke they both plummet to the ground. Tarzan landed safely, Clayton however was hung from above by one of the vines wrapped around his neck after it snapped it straight out from the fall.

There truly are things worse than fate...

7. RWBY - the Death of Adam Taurus

After weeks of stalking Blake & her group. Blake had no choice but to confront Adam for the last time with the help of Yang. The battle was harsh, but in the end they managed to out-think him by stabbing him from different sides. One in his chest & one in the back.

He then fell to his death over a huge waterfall after hitting his head over a ledge before plummeting into the water. Hopefully they've finally seen the last of Adam Taurus.

But let's also hope he doesn't pull a Cinder...

8. TFP Beast Hunters - Predaking beats the scrap out of Ratchet

After using Ratchet to wipe out mankind. The Decepticons threw him into the frails of a vengeful Predaking. Predaking then beats & claws Ratchet, throwing him around like a rag-doll. Until he was ready to finish him off, luckily Ratchet convinced him to hear him out. & told Predaking the truth about what had happened to his Predacon army.

After he told Predaking that it was Megatron who ordered his race's extermination. He asks why he did so & Ratchet replys--

Ratchet: Being on the receiving end of your might. One theory springs to mind, Megatron fears you & any like you.

In his blind rage Predaking stormed his way to Megatron, wiping out anyone who stood in his way.

Which led to his own demise, but that is a story for another time...

9. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - Stealy Joe gets his ass beat by Jotaro

Now this slimy bastard got what he deserves. Not only did he try to humiliate & blackmail Jotaro into doing his bidding. This cocky motherfucker goes & threatens a random little girl out of the blue. If Jotaro didn't face him like a man & does what he says.

With him up to here with the man's assholeness, our boi Jotaro decided enough is enough & beats the ever loving shit out of this guy. & after punching him multiple times, he literally sends him flying into a wall & throws him his receipt.

Rest in Hell, Joe you worthless bastard!

10. The Falcon Captain America & The Winter Soldier - Captain America U.S. Agent gets his arm broken.

John Walker the former Captain America was given a mantle he wasn't worthy of. Don't get me wrong as much as I had my doubts of him, I was willing to give him a benefit of a doubt. That is until he soiled Steve's good name by using his shield to kill a man in cold blood.

During his blind rage of vengeance, he chased down one of the Flag Smashers & constantly beats him over-&-over with the shield. & then kills him with a fatal blow to the chest area in front of tons of people.

After he murdered one of the perps, Falcon & Bucky tried to ask him to hand over the shield peacefully...

You can take a wild guess what Walker's answer was. He then attacked them with rage & ego, losing his shit. However that ego died as soon as Falcon & Buck breaks his arm to get the shield back. He was then discharged by the U.S. government & was relieved of his duties as Captain America.

Not only that but he then found his way into a dark path he may not be able to uncross.

But that part is another story for another time.

Either way he got dealt some shitty karma.

listen to 'back to december' by taylor swift to get the desired feels

word count: 2075

It has been a long day for you and all you crave for at the moment is just hours of relaxation on your favorite night spot, the riverside. Every night you would always visit the river, just feeling the night's cold breeze as you listen to the passing vehicles on the road.

Unfortunately for the past weeks, you haven't been visiting the riverside as often because of the increasing pressure at work. But finally here you are, after a long day of exhaustion.

You glance around the place as you always do. Fate must've been playing with you when your sight landed on the back of a man's green hoodie, his posture slightly crouched, and you know that figure really well.

Thoughts ran through your head. You hesitated whether you should call his name and offer to talk. How stupid, you thought. How can you just casually call the name of that man and offer a small talk? That man who once gave you everything including his love. His love that you chose to throw aside.

Memories of that night quickly spread to your mind like wildfire. The way his eyes filled with sadness and tears, him saying nothing at all as you stared at him after you said the words "Hanbin, set me free."

The guy in green hoodie turned around, as if expecting someone to be there, and locked eyes with you. You searched for something, just anything, in his eyes but it showed nothing. Not love, not hate, just nothing.

He made his way towards you with his lazy walk. As soon as he reached your way, no one dared to speak up first. You just looked at each other. But then he decided to break the silence.

"Hey," he greeted with a smile. You couldn't be any more happier because of that smile. It's beautiful.

"Hanbin," you breathed out. It was silently spoken but it carried the weight of just saying his name.

"You know, I was actually here yesterday as well since someone told me you often hang around this place. It's nice," he stated softly like the way he always talks, eyes wandering around the place.

Silence overtook the place once again as your mind was filled with questions. You're confused why he'd visit the place just because someone told him that you often visit it. You're confused as to why you felt this way in front of him when you're the one who pushed him away. You're confused as to why he doesn't seem like he hates you just like you thought he would.

He landed his eyes on you and you can't help but catch the familiar look in his eyes that you so strongly miss. He's still the same Hanbin you hurt a year ago.

"Why- why are you here?" you finally managed to ask.

"Let's get some coffee first. It's getting chilly out here anyway so let's go in a cafe," he said and turned around to go to the direction of a nearby cafe.

"Wait," you called to him but he didn't hear you. You just decided to follow him and go along with everything that's happening.

After ordering and finding a good seat spot, you decided to clear out the confusion and asked him directly.

"Hanbin, what's going on?" He answered right away,

"I wanted to talk to you. Just about anything."

You have convinced yourself that Hanbin hated you since he's the type of person who holds a grudge especially if it includes his feelings. But now here he is in front of you, claiming he wants to talk to you about anything.

Awkwardness surrounded the area. You just don't want to bring up anything from the past especially hurtful memories from your break up so you just sat and thought of things to say. Whereas Hanbin just silently observes your awkward self like he always did back then.

"I just, I'm- I am glad you came all the way to this city to see me," you silently say with your head partially bowed in embarrassment.

Hanbin just responds with a chuckle. Luckily, the orders came, saving you from the awkwardness.

"How's life, I guess?" If he wants to talk to you, you might as well start the conversation and pretend you don't feel uncomfortable.

"Life's good. Still the usual. Work is busier than ever, it's tiring so this atmosphere relaxes me. I kinda miss my family too," he rambles.

"Oh, Hanbyul. How is she?" you really just spout random things to say to not let the silence overtake your table.

"She just started primary school last month and I couldn't be any more prouder." You admired the love Hanbin has for his little sister. You adore Hanbyul so much so hearing this news is also satisfying for you.

With the short length of your talks, you realized one thing. He has his guards up. And you know why. It's because the last time Hanbin saw you is still fresh in his mind and the words you spoke are still loud. He's protecting himself.

FLASHBACK

Hanbin had been feeling uneasy with your relationship for the past weeks. He'd noticed you've been distancing yourself away from him and you never answered his calls and messages. According to your housemate, you've only been inside your room and never went out unless you needed to eat or take a shower.

He respected your decision of wanting space at first. But as time passes, he realizes it gets unhealthy in your relationship.

So there he was, three roses on one hand and a fastfood takeout on the other hand, in front of your room.

With gentle knocks and a soft call of your name, you immediately know it's Hanbin. Your heart ached once again when you heard his voice.

Nonetheless, you should make your decision.

And so you let him in. Hanbin couldn't be any more happier that you let him in.

The first thing that he wanted to do was embrace you tightly but he saw your expression and realized something bad is going to happen.

"Y/N, babe," said Hanbin quietly as he inches forward. The things on his hands were placed on the desk in your room.

"Hanbin, please," you replied, your voice sounding exhausted as if you're tired of everything.

"What do you mean, babe? What's wrong?"

"Let us not pretend like nothing's wrong, Hanbin. You know well what's happening," you answered soullessly. You can't ignore the fact that your heart is slowly breaking as your conversation goes.

"Y/N, just tell me, please," Hanbin pleads and you heard the desperation in his voice.

Silence surrounded the room.

"I barely saw you for the past weeks, please just tell me what's wrong-" you cut him off without even noticing you did.

"That's the point. The moment I needed you the most, you weren't there. The time where your fans called me a 'slut', a 'bitch', a 'stealer'. Hanbin, it hurts. Their words hurt," you said, though silently, the exasperation is still heard.

"We talked about this, Y/N. Please let's just ignore them. We can't let them ruin us," Hanbin pleads and you can see the need in his eyes as he reaches for your hand. You quickly directed your eyes away from his as you feel yours get filled with tears.

"They obviously hate me, Hanbin."

"But I love you."

"Your love will not stop the death threats I receive from some of your fans, okay?! I can stand it if it's just against me but my family is also getting threats!" By now, tears are falling from your eyes and you wiped it quickly away.

Hanbin took few steps backwards in shock.

"You didn't tell me you received death threats," he said silently as he stares at you with sad eyes.

"Hanbin, set me free."

You were being selfish, you're well aware. You're hurting him, you're aware. But you believe this is the only way for Hanbin to live without media and the fans bugging him about having you as his girlfriend.

You also wanted to save yourself from the harsh words the society shouts at you. Instead of talking it out with Hanbin, you decided to end everything and left him alone. It's selfish.

Hanbin's eyes slowly fills with tears and his lips form a thin line. He looked down for a moment and when he raised his head once again, your heart broke for the hundredth time that day.

He has a sad smile on his face, tears he so desperately prevents from falling, and eyes talking to you.

"I understand," said Hanbin and quickly pulled you in for a hug. "Please live the best life you deserve."

You loved him and you still do. The moment he wished you the best life that day is the time you hated yourself for not being strong enough. He didn't deserve a coward person like you.

"Why did you really came to see me, Hanbin?" you said after minutes of long silence. You figured he had something important to say. It has been a year since you broke up and him showing up like this is really suspicious.

"Honestly, I went here to give you something," he said with a soft voice and reached in the pocket of his hoodie.

"I had this when we were still together. I figured I'd give it to you for our second anniversary. But then, you know, it happened." He said while holding a beautiful necklace on his palm. Memories once again filled your mind.

"I've been holding on to this ever since we parted ways. This gave me hope everytime I'd thought about you. She has been a great companion," he said, referring to the necklace as a 'she'.

"But now, I'll give her to you. I realized I've been holding on to this for too long and now I'm ready to finally move on. I'm ready to finally let go of you," he said.

He has been staring down at the necklace while talking and as he lifted his eyes to look at you, you felt the longing between you two.

You said nothing but only looked at his eyes. You still love him.

"Here, please take it," he said, finally breaking the painful eye contact.

"No."

Hanbin looked at you, taken aback.

"Sorry, what?"

You stood up and dragged him out of the cafe. You just let your heart decide this time.

"I'm sorry for everything. I'm ready to lower my pride just to say this, Hanbin. I hate myself for leaving and I hate myself because I still love you," you said while swallowing your pride.

"You can't just say that, Y/N," Hanbin said, his voice sounding stronger.

"I'm sorry but this is how I feel. I'd go back to the night we broke up just to fix things. I regret not having to fight for us. I regret being too selfish at that time-" he cut you off.

"You're still being selfish now!" he said, almost raising his voice.

You felt small under his gaze and his voice.

He continued emotionally, "You told me to set you free and I painfully finally did. Set me free, Y/N."

"But freedom only did nothing but made me miss you more. I only ever realized how important you are when you're not mine anymore." You know you already sound desperate. You couldn't care less. Hanbin is finally in front of you and this is the only chance you have to fix the things you broke including each other's hearts.

"What do you want me to do? I am trying so hard to forget you, Y/N. I am fixing myself," he said, just as desperate as you. You saw how broken he'd become because of you.

You let his words sink in to you. You already broke him and you want to fix him by making him yours again? That's just selfish.

"If we loved again, I swear I would love you right," you sincerely says as you continue,

"But if the chain is on your door and your heart is already closed, I understand. I'll also let you go now," you said, the emotions in your wavering voice is eminent, as tears fill up your eyes.

"I'm sorry, Y/N, but I need to guard myself now. I don't want to get hurt again." And he grabs your hand as he places the necklace on your palm.

"Goodbye."

Note: Do not attack or send any hate towards the people I interview. Let's begin with @darlingcalvin who let me interview them!

Question One: How did you find out about Columbine?

DC: I guess it's just something I've always kind of known about. I'd hear all about it when I was younger, but I never really understood it's significance until i reached intermediate school. There was more emphasis on school shootings and our teacher had to prepare us in the event of that happening. Through there, I learned more about Columbine, Sandy Hook, and other infamous school shootings in detail, as it was something that fascinated me and still does. The rest is history.

Question Two: Do you think your interest in Columbine reaches a unhealthy level?

DC: I wouldn't believe so, no. It does not stem beyond morbid fascination for me personally. I do not romanticize or fantasize about the perpetrators - Eric and Dylan - and nor do I hold them on a 'godlike' pedestal. They were sick, and they needed help. However, I do try to empathize with them because I know they were suffering.

In short, I don't think my interest goes too far. It doesn't really stem beyond this tumblr account.

Question Three: How do you feel about those that do romanticize serial killers and mass shooters or look up to them?

DC: When it comes to them, I don't find myself mad but instead partially sad. People who do romanticize and look up to serial killers are probably impressionable people with dark thoughts and real problems. They do not know how to deal with it, so they find comfort in this 'dark and godlike' figures. They seem to relate to them somehow. I just hope for them to get help, to get someone to listen to them. Because I do know that they need it.

That can't be said for everyone, of course, as I don't mean to diagnose and generalize a group of people. However, from my experience with that part of the TCC, I genuinely hope they get out of that and learn that there is more light and happiness in this life. :)

Question Four: What's your opinion on those who bash columbiners and the rest of the TCC based on the misinformed actions of some people? (Those inspired by school shooters that try to shoot up their own school for example).

DC: I think they are misinformed, like you said. I think they have reason, in their mind, to bash the TCC as a whole based on those people - I mean, after all, can you blame them? However, it makes me sad knowing that I can't openly say that I am interested in True Crime without people thinking I want to fuck school shooters (pardon my language), so I wish some people did their research more into a community instead of blindly bashing it because others did some terrible things.

Question Five: Does anyone outside of tumblr know of your interest in true crime?

DC: My dad and I share an interest in true crime (his not being as large as mine), so he does know. However, no one else in my family / none of my friends really know. I don't try to hide it persay, but like I mentioned earlier, I can't tell people without them thinking I want to either shoot up my school or marry a serial killer.

Question Six: That's understandable. Have you ever received any hateful messages or threats?

DC: No, thankfully.

Question Seven: Do you think the stigma with true crime will ever change?

DC: To be quite honest, I don't think it'll ever change. It may shift slightly, but not quite change. Murder, in general, is a taboo topic on it's own. While there has been a steadily climbing interest in true crime, there is still that sense of taboo linked to it that 'warrant' people wanting to bring it down. Murder, in my mind, will never be okay. And many people also think that way. Coupled with misconceptions about true crime as a community, I don't see the perception of it getting much better, if anything.

Question Eight: My wifi diead sorry. Do you feel that the community itself is to blame for ghe stigma and stereotyping it gets?

DC: It's all good!

To some extent, yes. I don't believe it is the community as a whole that is to blame, but the actions of a few people in this community that cause the stereotyping and the stigma. For instance, condoners and romanticizers. However, I do think that outsiders see this, and perceive it to be the community as whole (which, in turn, is where the stigma arises from). So, while I don't think the community collectively is to blame, there are a vocal few in the community that cause outsiders to antagonize us.

Question Nine: How has tcc effected the way you see everyday life, if at all?

DC: I guess you could say that the TCC has helped me learn to value my life more. I research these tragedies on the daily - I'm constantly surrounded by the sad truth that many people's lives were cut short due to it. Through my research and through joining this community, I learn to show respect to the victims, who had no say in their deaths. It's a constant reminder that life is, ultimately, fleeting. I need to make the most of it while I still have mine - I guess it's a way to honor those who weren't able to.

Question Ten: Do you feel as though the tcc has helped victims?

DC: I've actually enjoyed this interview! It's given me a chance to think about my role in this community :))

I would like to think that we do. Throughout the community, many great and wonderful people are creating accounts and posts dedicated to the victims and raising awareness about them. It may seem rather trivial, but these accounts are promoting a genuinely positive message. Instead of glorifying the killers, they bring light to the stories of the victims. It really is a beautiful thing to see, in my opinion.

To end it off, I know that the TCC as a community is a very polarizing topic to discuss. I will admit, we have some pretty awful people in our community - they glamorize these killers, follow in their footsteps, and the like. However, I want to bring more light to the wonderful side of this community: The side that spends hours upon hours researching, making sure everyone has the facts over biased opinions. Those that talk about these tragedies, but respectfully so to where the killers are not glamorized. And most importantly, those that raise awareness to the victims and their families. Our community may seem like a bunch of murder obsessed weirdos, but in all actuality I've met some of the nicest, most caring and genuine people through the TCC.

Thank you so much for this opportunity to share my beliefs, it means a lot xx

Review #69: Love in the Moonlight

I was going to write about this drama after I finished the last episode, but I'm halfway through and I just can't contain myself anymore.

This drama is such a joke. I'm honestly laughing incredulously here. Well, I'm up to the part where Yoonsung goes to fetch Raon with a bunch of guards behind him to - in his own words to his dad - "test the depth of his feelings for her". What a joke. You know and I know and he knows and we all damn know that he's too soft hearted to hurt anyone. And the writer is expecting us to believe that he would hurt Raon? The girl he's in love with? The girl he would go against his long-term friend and family for? The only girl he's ever liked even after frequenting a hundred kisaengs? Yeah, right.

That is this writer's biggest downfall. They're just too much of a softie. I'm pretty sure this writer fell in love with their own characters, so much to the point where they're too mushy-hearted to do anything bad to them. This happens multiple times throughout the drama, I can't even count. Nothing bad EVER happens to the characters. Well, let me rephrase that. Nothing bad EVER lasts for long with these characters - because the writer just can't bear to see them suffer for long!

Think about it. EACH damn time Raon and Young have to go through a tearful and heart-wrenching separation, they just get back together in the next episode or even earlier. The writer can't pull through with their own storytelling. The separation of the two main characters is always presented in this intensely tear-jerking fashion as though it's the hardest thing they have to go through, but in less than an hour there the prince is AGAIN, and all I can do is sit here and cry out in frustration because there are no stakes! How are we as the audience supposed to be sad and emotionally invested and feel like their love is a life and death situation when it just really ISN'T?

The examples go on and on. Think about the time Byeongyeon sacrificed himself for Raon and the prince. (Don't worry, Raon's unbearable passivity is coming up in another huge post of its own.) I actually liked that scene. I mean, yeah I love Byeongyeon as a character (more than Raon for sure) but his death meant something. It was an incredibly meaningful moment. You could see how much love he had for the prince and the entire scene was done pretty well, including the dialogue. And then what happens? HE DOESN'T DIE. Like, really? Okay, so he got shot by several arrows (and one of them definitely hits very close to his vital organs) and gets slashed by a sword and he still LIVES? So a hundred other people who gets slashed just once in the drama all die but this dude LIVES? Oh please. I swear, the moment I saw him lying down getting taken care of I wanted to smash the wall. That's not how it works! When you do that, you totally destroy the meaningful scene that you initially set up. If he comes back to life so easily, what was his death for? What meaning does it hold now? Ultimately, it tells the audience that nothing really is at stake, and that all of the "important" characters will come out unscathed. Nothing bad will ever happen to them. And what does this do? It destroys every ounce of tension in the drama. Nobody in the audience is going to ever feel that the situation in the drama is a life and death situation. Because it isn't.

That's really bad writing. One of the first things I learned in my screenwriting class was that you gotta put your main character through hell and you gotta have zero sympathy. You have to keep making bad things happen to them. The moment you become a softie, the tension just goes splat. It's really got to feel like a life and death situation and the stakes have to feel REAL. At the moment, the drama does none of that.

That's why I had to stop watching and rant when Yoonsung (of course) takes out his sword and slays the guards. Of course. I wasn't expecting anything else anyways. Who in the world would even think Yoonsung would do something other than protect Raon? Well, for a second I guess I was kind of hopeful - but only for a second, because the drama of course ruined it as quickly as possible. The drama never lets things simmer and turn bad. The writer is too weak-hearted for that. They probably can't bear to see any of their characters suffer for long. So of course Yoonsung would take out his sword but of course it wouldn't be to harm Raon. Of course he would stop at the SLIGHTEST squeak from Raon and start slaying all of his guards lol. I was trying really hard from not typing lol but I really can't help it. It's just too incredulous.

If only the writer would pull through with their threats. If only they would actually let things go bad. Then the tension would rise and rise and the rubber band would be pulled and pulled tight until all that's left to do is for it to snap and all hell breaks loose, which is when you reach the story climax before the happy happy ending. Other dramas do this really well. Especially when they make the main couple break up for reasons outside their control. You really gotta milk that situation. But this drama just can't do that and has never done it. It's supposed to do that the most right now, when there are only so many episodes left until the end. However, the drama DOESN'T do that when it most needs to. I'm so frustrated.

Don't get me started on how much I hate Raon. Well, more like, how much I hate the way Raon is written by the writer. Raon used to be a great character in the beginning. But the moment she falls in love with the prince - well, let's say "falls in love" but where's the evidence that she even loves him? I could write ten pages on how much Raon doesn't love the prince and how passive and wide-eyed she is while the prince actually loves her and ACTS it out ALL the time. Okay, let's have a pause here, and I'll go watch the rest of the episode (well, try to) before going on another huge rant.

If you're going to do a sageuk, do it like 100 Days My Prince or don't do it at all. Or even like Scarlet Heart. At least the stakes there were huge. So many people actually died and the main girl was ACTUALLY tortured. The biggest advantage of sageuks (compared to modern dramas) are the fact that the situations can get really life-and-death. This drama didn't use any of that strong point. What a waste.

Okay. I just came back from watching the rest of Yoonsung's sudden attack on the guards and wow. I was not expecting HIM to die. After all that ranting I did up top about how the drama doesn't pull through and doesn't kill any of their important characters, this is kind of a huge blow. But I have to say, I don't understand why he had to die. When Byeongyeon sacrificed himself, it made all the sense in the world - with his sacrifice, he was able to save Raon, her dad, and even the prince. But didn't Yoonsung lead the guards to Raon himself? He then attacked the bunch of guards himself. Then you see Raon actually try to do something FINALLY but it might have been better if she hadn't done anything this time, cause he clearly got stabbed trying to save her. I guess I just wish his death was worth more than this. I really liked him as a character and I still feel like the drama did him dirty. He could have died a more meaningful death. Not like this.

Now everything is being wrapped up and I honestly feel like there was no real climax in this drama. Maybe it's coming up. Let's see. But from the look of things everything is being wrapped up like a pretty gift box with no imperfections. Have I also mentioned just how much I hate the fade out transitions in this drama? I honestly hate it. It feels like a cop out each time. It feels like a lazy cop out instead of following through with the action that is presented at the time.

As the drama wraps up, I gotta say that I've grown to really love the second female lead. I started off disliking her (just cause I liked the main couple too much back then) and thinking she was just a plot device but she's shown a lot of character throughout the time she was in the drama. SHE is the one who truly loved the prince and actually acted it out each time. And just as I say this, here we go again - the writer lets her off easy, making the king erase her princess-to-be history and ultimately making her sacrifice useless and bland. Sigh. Just LET people sacrifice and be selfless and just let the audience see and feel the deep worth in that! Why you gotta keep taking that away from us?!

I have finally finished the entire drama. I loved Young as a character and I love Park Bogum as the actor who acted him out. Young was BY FAR the best character in the drama, followed by Byeongyeon. Raon was annoying until the very end and even seeing her smile was annoying me. All I could think of was the fact that she was lifeless and had no personality and didn't even properly love the prince and even despite all that she was standing in front of him receiving his love. The prince deserves better.

Full Harvest Moon

Hail ENKI unrelenting defender of all, hear us! This is the night of the Full Harvest Moon when are gathered, the Great Wheel turns yet again as Autumn comes strolling along in no great rush to get here understanding that everything happens in its own time. Such is the wisdom of Nature itself, that it does not hurry itself along to appease anyone no matter how much they complain! We wish the same could be said for those that we work with because sometimes humans can be incredibly unreasonable regarding how long things take to happen!

During this time many things begin to change, the Earth begins to prepare itself for its Golden Season when all the leaves on the trees will begin to change color and the air will get cooler and the ground will begin to harden signaling the time of the Great Harvest when the remaining crops will be gathered and the Earth will be put to bed so when the Death Season comes along those who work farms or have gardens of their own will have fresh soil to work with at the start of the Rebirthing Season. This is not unlike what we humans do all the time when it comes to our own situations regarding the people and organizations we deal with.

There are times when we are employed at places doing what we love and then after a while someone comes along and makes working there unbearable for one reason or another. When this happens we have the choice to simply quit (going from Summer to Winter, completely skipping over Autumn) and thus cause a collapse in the Seasons that make up our lives or like the Earth who takes its time to prepare for the harshness of winter by sending all wildlife that can't sustain to other areas or into hibernation and vegetation into a sort of suspended animation, we can seek alternate employment either at another location or with another company altogether.

If the Earth skipped Autumn and went straight to Winter, the entire ecosystem would collapse because there would be no food or shelter available to those who were not able to survive on what was available because sooner or later those resources will run out and starvation as well as freezing to death from having no shelter would be a constant threat.

ENKI, we all know that when you defied the Grand Council that you did so because your faith in us compelled you to insist that the humans you saved would take care of the island known as Earth and although there are many who think they can own the Earth because they have enough human currency to throw around, we also know that they can NEVER own Nature which is what truly governs it! The problem with the human condition is that over the years it has become VERY arrogant, oftentimes placing itself over the rest of the ecosystem and yet it is that very ecosystem that it relies on to keep it going! We have those who claim that if we truly cared for nature we would not eat animals but I contend that the ONLY reason that certain animals are here is BECAUSE they were meant to be a food source!

Just as the Lion eats the Zebra, just like the Spider eats the Fly, just like the Cat eats the Mouse, so do we humans eat Cows, Chickens, Pigs, Goats, Deer, Bison, Buffalo, Fish, Snails, Grasshoppers, Crickets etc, not because we are ABOVE them but because it's all part of the food chain and we humans are NOT above that either, in fact if a human were to get too close to an alligator or wander into the rainforest and run into a jaguar or even if were to get to close to an anaconda NONE of these creatures would think twice (or even ONCE for that matter) before making US dinner, nor would they feel any regret with having eaten meat instead of a nice salad! If people are to truly respect nature then they can start with not denying their own!

Hail NINHURSAG - Loving and Gracious wife of our Blessed NINGIZHEDA! You who are loyal to NINGIZHEDA and keeps his strength up (in more ways than one) we learn from you that faithfulness and fortitude are constant imperatives if anything is to survive the harshness of the Season! Sometimes it is not the Earth that turns cold but our own hearts and when this happens we must analyze the reason WHY it happened and if we conclude that the death of the relationship - be it personal or professional - is NOT our doing but that of the other party, then we need to decide if it is worth trying to save or if it is time to move on! Thankfully this has not occurred between the two of you and as such you are an inspiration to all to always stand by and fight with and for the one you love no matter who the aggressor might be!

Hail URURU - Eternal and Grand Creatrix of All Things - we pay our deepest respects to you! Without you the Multiverse would not have undergone the many transformations it has since it became aware of itself! Without you we would have no Hero named Gilgamesh! It was you who blessed him with the companionship of Enkidu after hearing the lamentations of the people as you knew that he was NOT heartless, he just did not understand what compassion was because he was raised to believe he was entitled to certain things in life and as such even HE had lessons to learn. So rather than give up on him, you provided the lesson through a new and dear friend who was for all intents and purposes the mirror image of himself!

Hail the Grand Council who brought down the flood! Am I praising the death and destruction generally speaking? Not at all. I AM however saying I can understand WHY it needed to happen. It occurred because ALL the living things of the time forgot themselves and became so corrupt that what happened THEN is really what is happening NOW - humans slaughtering animals for pleasure rather than food, destroying the Earth in the name of the Almighty Dollar because they felt entitled to do as they pleased with it rather than honor it as the home it was created to be and starting wars to kill off each other in senseless tirades that threatened existence itself yet again!

Do I feel it was a bit extreme to annihilate everything? Yes and No. I do because not everyone was guilty at the same time the punishment should fit the crime and with the extent of the damage the humans caused they left little room for ANY form of reparations to take place and what do you do when something you created ceases to perpetuate the creation as it was supposed to? You scrap the plan and you start over. If we are not careful this may happen again only this time it will NOT be at the hands of the Grand Council, it will be ENTIRELY at the hands of the humans who will bring it upon themselves and EVERYTHIHG ELSE! The point of the flood was to wipe the slate clean and give humans a fresh start in the hopes that they will get it right this time and yet once again we find ourselves in a similar cycle of senseless death and destruction! WE MUST WAKE UP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR US TO REVERSE THE CURRENT SITUATION!

We see how the severe LACK of communication or acceptance of another person's lifestyle has caused MANY lives to be ruined if not all together TAKEN! This is NOT acceptable behavior especially not from a race who likes to think that it is on the top of the food chain! The human race is currently the LEAST enlightened of all species on the planet! I have no qualms saying this because even if a dog bites its owner, it USUALLY only does so if it has been mistreated, it does not care AT ALL what their owner believes or who they are dating or who they plan to vote for, all the dog cares about is giving and receiving love and being treated with the same respect the human would want for itself, otherwise why should it defend its human if its human doesn't give a damn about it as well?

Humans need to learn that it isn't always about them all the time, in fact our main job was and still is conserving and preserving the planet and the ecosystem for ALL future generation across the board just as our Father stuck his neck out to protect US when he could have just let the deluge annihilate everything as it was supposed to! This is the lesson we REALLY need to glean from what ENKI did, he put his own well being on the back burner and his life in danger to do what had to be done at the time! We see our military personnel do the very same whenever they are deployed no matter where they are stationed! We 'civilians' may not have military training HOWEVER we DO have the skills needed to take care of things at home which is what makes how our Veterans are treated when they return all the more despicable because the government limits what actions can be taken to assist our Vets and how do they determine this? MONEY!!! Apparently the government has no problem sending them to war zones, spending BILLIONS on the war because the WAR is worth it, but when it comes to taking care of those who actually fought in those wars, there simply isn't any money to spare! Imagine where we would be had ENKI taken that same stance!!

This is what I mean when I say we have to wake up before it's too late - right now our governments and even 99% of Clergy are as corrupt as those humans back then were and we will be the engineers of our own downfall! I am SICK AND TIRED of hearing people say ignorant bullshit like "I don't care, I'm not going to be around in x amount of years" WELL GUESS WHAT - if you have CHILDREN and GRANDCHILDREN - they WILL be here in x amount of years! So when you say you don't care just because of that, what you are REALLY saying to all of THEM is that you don't give a rats ass about them OR their future and that even as small children they are on their own! Think about that the next time you decide to announce your position on the planet and ITS future!

Now more than anything we need to eradicate that which is the underlying cause of the problem - we need to get more people to stand up against terrorist factions no matter WHAT religion they represent; this includes Islam as well as Christianity, Judaism and even some groups who call themselves Satanists but in NO WAY represent Satan, Satanism or even HUMANITY! Those who use their religion as a weapon of oppression, repression, misogyny, slavery, rape and murder need to be destroyed because they are so full of their own self-righteousness they don't care WHO they attack as they will even attack their own if those who may share the faith generally speaking do not adhere to the extremes that these psychopaths demand they do! World leaders who also terrorize their people into submission to the point where they are not allowed to even acknowledge the world beyond their borders must also be done away with! They are creating an environment where they deem EVERYTHING to be an act of aggression or war and putting their own people in harm's way and if the people DON'T pretend they agree with the so called leader then THEY will be arrested for TREASON! This is NOT why ENKI saved us, he saved us because he believed that we were better than what we had become and now we are reverting back to the very actions that made the Flood necessary!

There are a lot of things that need fixing in this world, but we need to take the time to work on ourselves as well because there is always room for improvement on our own parts as well! Personal evolution and growth are absolutely necessary in order to adequately provide not only for ourselves but our Families both Blood and Spiritual as well as those on the other side of the Great Divide and the planet itself! Our ever-loving Father ENKI is always willing to give his unwavering support to those who do what needs to be done in order to help Life carry on and maintain its course while they are doing what they need to do to advance their own living situations! They say that the only way to multiply happiness is to divide it and I agree!

This does not mean to glue rose colored glasses to your face and pretend everything is peachy when it isn't, it DOES mean that we should help one another out when we can by donating food to local shelters and food banks, those who own businesses can employ the homeless who are looking to improve THEIR situations and help them regain their self respect by becoming productive members of society! There are many smaller things that can be done to change the bigger picture and we all need to throw our hats into the ring to make it happen! No one person can do it all and its time we stopped acting like it’s everyone else's responsibility except ours!

This is not to say that everyone we try to help will be grateful or that it will even work out giving someone a job, there are people out there who only want to take advantage of someone else's good deed, this should NOT prevent anyone else from being afforded an opportunity to excel! The IMPORTANT thing is to put forth the effort so that at least the one who DOES want to go the extra mile has a fighting chance to do so! Unfortunately it has gotten to the point where the manipulators and lost causes have overshadowed those who just fell on hard times and are looking to do whatever they have to to get back on their feet again! We should help build one another up rather than tearing our communities down over paranoia that resulted from having been burned! Things happen but the ONLY people to blame are the ones who are holding the matches, not the one trying to put out the fire! If we work together we CAN change the human environment and maybe even IMPROVE on a thing or two while we're at it!

“We are Voyagers

Summoned by the mighty gods

Of this mighty ocean to come

We take up the good challenge to get ready

We know the ways of the sea

We look to the stars and other signs

To find our way to discover new lands

To make our home

Oh! Oh!

There is land up ahead

A bird in flight to take us there

Oh! Oh!

This beautiful land

The place we were looking for

We will make our home!

We read the wind and the sky when the sun is high

We sail the length of the seas on the ocean breeze!

At night, we name every star

We know where we are!

We know who we are, who we are!

Aue, aue!

We set a course to find

A brand new island everywhere we roam!

Aue, aue!

We keep our island in our mind

And when it's time to find home

We know the way!

Aue, aue!

We are explorers reading every sign

We tell the stories of our elders in a never-ending

chain!

Aue, aue!

Te fenua, te mālie

Nā heko hakilia!

Etiamsi MULTA Et Nos UNUM Sumus Nos Sto Validus Ut Nos Sto Una!

We know the way!
