“Steve? Earth to big boy, c’mon.”

Eddie’s voice is warm and amused, chest vibrating with a barely restrained chuckle. It makes something tickle behind Steve's collarbone, like tiny bubbles in a fizzy drink. When he untucks his face from the crook of Eddie’s neck to meet those eyes, they are crinkled at the corners, dark brown turned almost black with adoration and desire.

“There you are,” Eddie rumbles, brushing Steve's sweaty bangs from his forehead with one hand, while the other casually pets his bare ass. The touch is gentle, almost, but the irritated skin still stings with it. The burst of pain settles in Steve’s abdomen as something else, something more pleasant and urgent. “You seemed a bit loopy there.”

“‘m not loopy.”

Steve juts out his bottom lip. It's sore from where he's been biting down on it, and he knows from the way Eddie’s gaze zeroes in on it that it looks the part. Dark pink and swollen, maybe with the indents of his teeth still visible.

“Sure, darling,” Eddie coos, all sweet condescension. His fingers tighten their grip and Steve gasps, trying to flinch away - only the movement makes his naked cock catch on the denim of Eddie’s pants, and the noise turns into a downright filthy moan. “Where were we again? Remind me?”

“I, um …” Steve licks his lips. Eddie tilts his head expectantly and wipes the thin trail of moisture away with his thumb. “three- … no, fourteen?”

“Good guess,” Eddie praises. “Lucky, aren't you? Okay, here's what we'll do.”

He takes Steve's chin between his thumb and index finger, waiting for him to meet his eye.

“I don't want you to space out again, so from now on, you will count along, loud and clear. And, after each, you're gonna say thank you like a good boy. Can you do that for me?”

“Uh,” Steve says dumbly. His eyes flit down, as if the answer might be hidden there ... which turns out to be a big mistake.

His cock is painfully hard, red tip leaking precome into the bulging crotch of Eddie’s jeans. He wonders fleetingly if his ass matches the color, and the thought draws a desperate whimper from his throat.

Eddie throws his head back and laughs.

“That's not an answer, baby. Try again?”

“Eddie, please,” Steve whines, grinding himself down into Eddie’s lap. “I need-”

“Oh, I know what you need honey,”

Eddie kisses his forehead and pinches his ass. “You need my big, hard cock in that greedy little hole of yours, isn't that right?”

Steve nods, long past the point of shame or self-consciousness, rolling his hips and arching his back the way that drives Eddie wild, the way Eddie says makes him look like a needy, pretty whore.

“Yes, sir, please. Need your cock, need it so badly, need you to stuff me full and fuck me, please, plea-”

The slap of Eddie’s open palm connecting with his ass echoes in the silent room.

“Begging will get you nowhere, honey,” Eddie singsongs over Steve’s yelp. “You want my cock, you do as I tell you.”

“Alright, alright,” Steve gasps. “Fuck, fifteen!”

“And?” Eddie rumbles, nipping warningly at his neck.

Steve whimpers, humiliation coiling tight and delicious in his belly. “Tha- … thank you, sir.”

“There's my good boy,” Eddie coos, kissing the tip of his nose. “Keep going, c’mon.”

The next slap lands right in the middle of Steve’s ass cheek, harder than the previous. Steve moans and jumps at the pain, cock bouncing with the motion.

“Sixteen. Thank you.”

“Such a good job,” Eddie purrs. “You're desperate for it, huh?”

“Yes, sir,” Steve babbles. “Wanna ride your cock, wann- aaah, seventeen. Thank you, sir.”

“Oh, you wanna ride me?” Eddie chuckles, mouth painting Steve’s neck and chest in a pattern of bruises, bright red and angry to match the one on his ass. “Well, that's a pity. You know why? The moment we get to twenty, I'm gonna bend you over the back of this couch and take you from behind like the sweet little slut that you are. And when I finish, I'm gonna come all over that pretty mark on that incredible ass of yours.”

“Oh God, please,” Steve groans. He's a spring wound tight, ready to release. Every sensation, every thought narrowed down to the spots where Eddie is branding his marks into his skin. Eddie chuckles, fond and happy.

“Gonna look so pretty, baby. Perfect ass painted red from my hands, streaked white with my come. Gonna leave it there when I'm done, so that it seeps right in, so you never forget who you belong to. Gonna rub it in nice and good, right here.”

Another slap. Steve feels his ass jiggle with it. The pain sizzles right into his fingertips, right into his twitching dick, and he wants, he wants, he wants-

“Nineteen. Thank y-”

“Ooops,” says Eddie. “What was that?”

Steve freezes.

“Uh,” he mutters. “Eighteen. I meant eighteen, sorry, I-”

“Well,” Eddie winks, and pecks his lips. “That's just too bad, isn't it?”

“No,” Steve whines. “Nonono, Eddie, c’mon. Don't make me do this, please, I'll do-”

Eddie silences him with a finger to his lips. It burns as it sinks into the bruised and bitten flesh, just as the fingers of his other hand as they press into the center of the bruise.

“Oh, honey,” Eddie coos, tone syrupy sweet and soothing. “I wish we could. You think I don't wanna get my cock into that sweet little hole? But rules are rules, aren't they?”

Steve opens his mouth to argue. Eddie’s nails dig into the bruise, just a little.

“Aren't they, Stevie?”

Steve screws his eyes shut, tears clogging his lashes. “Yes, sir. Rules are rules.”

Eddie’s smile against his pulse is large and proud, with just a hint of canines.

“That's right, baby. And now …”

Before Steve has time to process what's happening, he's grabbed by the waist and flipped around. Eddie manhandles him into position, until he's kneeling at the edge of the couch, elbows bracketed on the backrest, ass in the air and back in an obscene arch.

“Don't worry, honey, I haven't changed my mind,” Eddie hums. His fingers graze Steve’s leaking tip as he steps back, almost as if on accident. “Just figured we'd make it a bit less comfy for you. Keep you from spacing out again. Now, let's take this from the top. Ready?”

“Ready.” Steve sighs. The first slap feels like an electric current erupting from the base of his spine. His cock bounces so hard it almost hits his stomach. “One. Thank you, sir.”

Tara Carpenter x Fem Reader

Warnings: Christmas stuff, slight fluff, being nervous and shy as f*ck

A/N: Sorry for my bad writing, sorry for switching the perspectives :D I hope that the translation was at least good. Have fun. I tried my best.

When you’re home

Y/n sat on her armchair in her two-room apartment as she comfortably drank a ginger tea. When she took a sip of it, she slightly twisted her face and whispered "spicy." She smiled and looked out the window. It was snowing and the snow breathed the city of New York into a beautiful white. She ran over to the window and sat down on the window sill to watch the snow.

It was her first Christmas in New York. Before that, New York seemed to be a dream world for her. A world she only knew from movies. If her ten-year-old self could only see her now. She lived in a small overpriced apartment near her college. She studied (insert) and even had a girlfriend.

She was surprised herself. She could never have guessed how things would develop after she moved here. Y/N had a girlfriend. How strange.

As y/n continued to observe the falling snow, she had to think of Tara. What did Tara do right now ? She asked herself. She hadn't seen her girlfriend for a week because they were both busy with their exams. Now it was finally the weekend. For now, that meant that she could switch back and relax. No learning for now.

A flashing light attracted y/n attention. She looked to the left and could see how her neighbors opposite the house decorated their windows with fairy lights. "Oh shit," y/n said to herself. She had forgotten to buy and decoration for Christmas herself she totally forgot because of all the exam tasks, after all, tomorrow was already the first Advent. Y/N sighed and put her cup aside. This was her first Christmas alone. Without her family. Otherwise, her mother had made sure that everyone in the family came to decorate. She always bought the Christmas decorations.

Suddenly y/n cell phone rang. She looked over to the living room table and saw a picture of herself and Tara.

She answered and said shy "hey"

Tara laughed into the cell phone "y/n where are you? We're waiting"

Y/n looked confused out of the window

"What do you mean?" She asked laughing slight

Tara sighed slight

"Decorating. Christmas. You. Me. In... my apartment?" She said in a cute way

Y/n laughed and felt her heartbeat running faster "is this your way to ask me if I Wanne come over to decorate with you?"

Tara hesitated with the answer and grinned broadly when she said "maybe?"

Y/n grinned "wow who's the shy one now?"

Tara laughed "thin ice y/n... thin ice"

Y/n grinned wider and felt the heat in her cheeks. Normally y/n was always the shy and nervous one of both, but there were those rarely sweet moments when it was exactly the other way around.

"Okay Fine..." said Tara and sounded like she was giving up "would you like to come over for decorating? Since it will be our first Christmas together?"

"But it's not Christmas yet" I said teasing

Tara sighed again but y/n could already see in front of her eyes how Tara smiled, her dimples came out and the slight blush appeared in her cheeks.

"My god do you two always need so much time to get to the point?" I heard Sam say on the other side of the line.

Suddenly the cell phone rushed at Tara's side and Sam said to Y/n "please come over y/n. We wanted to decorate the apartment and we had the idea to invite you"

I smiled broadly and nodded even though she couldn't see it.

"I'll be there in 20 minutes... Should I bring anything?" I asked out of intuition and looked through my apartment. Im such an idiot I have no decoration at all I thought.

"Yes, I had the idea that the three of us could eat something... meet Tara in the New Bodega store you can help her with the groceries," said Sam

"Okay, I'm on my way"

Both ended the phone call and y/n put on her coat and gloves. She packed her keys and left the apartment. Outside, she immediately hit a light gust of wind with thousands of snowflakes. She straightened her coat and made her way to the bodega. As it was getting more and more windy, she tried to hurry.

When she saw the lights of the bodega, she sighed with relief and ran across the street. She ran into the bodega and a warm wave hit her. She took a relaxed breath and looked around to find Tara. At that moment, a laugh also had to refrain. Tara was too small to be able to see her across the shelves. And just as this thought went through y/n head, Tara appeared in the next aisle and looked at her warningly "I know exactly what you just thought" she said and pointed her finger at y/n.

Y/n laughed nervously and was thrown off by Tara with a pack of napkins the next moment. Y/n just caught the pack and looked at Tara with a crooked head "Sorry...?" Said y/n shyly.

Tara's facial expressions became gentler and she smiled as she slowly approached y/n. She grabbed her coat and pulled y/n closer to kiss her.

Y/n closed her eyes for a brief moment and had felt a pleasant wave of goosebumps all over her body as Tara's gentle lips touched her.

"What will we cook later?" I asked Tara as we separated from each other.

Tara looked at the little note in her hand "Just some pasta. Nothing special. But on Christmas Eve... you'll get the best Mexican food you have ever eaten"

She said excitedly. Y/n sprays a pleasant warmth in her body when she nervously said "so I’m invited for Christmas?"

Tara smiled wide and moved closer to y/n

"Your my girlfriend... did you though I want to spend Christmas without you?"

Y/n shrugged her shoulders "Yes but... Sam... your family?"

Tara slowly put her arm around y/n waist and kissed her gently on the cheek as she whispered "your my family now..."

Tara detached herself from y/n and searched the shelves for the last ingredients. Y/n looked at her with admiring eyes as she still felt the kiss on her cheek and Tara's words repeated themselves in her head. If only Tara could know how important these words were for y/n. Y/n didn't even knew it herself until that moment. Y/n came out of her trance and followed Tara.

Finally arrived at Tara's and Sam's apartment. Y/n Smiled amazed it was the complete opposite of her apartment. It smelled like baked cookies and there was decoration everywhere. When she entered the living room of the carpenter sisters, it was felt with warm light and a large Christmas tree.

"Wow..." y/n said speechless and looked at the top of the tree that touched the ceiling.

"Sam had to exaggerate a bit with the tree" said Tara and laughed behind y/n.

"Yeah sure... at least we have a Christmas tree. Now let's get this started," said Sam, who came out of her room and pressed a box into y/n hands. Tara brought the groceries to the kitchen and I stood in the living room like a lost deer. I looked around nervously and didn't know where and how to start. My heart began to beat faster and faster and I looked around slightly panicked.

The next moment, Tara took the box from me. She smiled warmly at me "Take off your coat and then help me..."

I nodded silently and went back into the hallway where I hung up my jacket at the cloakroom. I took off my gloves and went nervously back to the living room.

I stood in front of the tree with my arms crossed and looked up to the top with a concentrated look. Since the tree was too big, the top was bent a little because of the ceiling.

"If I get scissors... I could try to cut off the tip. So that a star still fits on it," I said shyly to Tara.

Even before I could finish my sentence, Tara was already holding scissors in front of my face.

I laughed lightly and took it from her.

After I took one of the dining table chairs and climbed on it to get to the top better, I struggled with the scissors to cut through the wood of the tip.

"How's it going up there?" Tara asked and without looking I knew that she was just grinning. I sighed "if you want you can give it a try," I said in a sarcastic tone and looked down at her.

She stood there with her arms crossed and grinned dirty "no thanks. Im good. I like the view tho..."

I looked away nervously and couldn't resist a slight laugh. I immediately felt the heat in my ears and shortly afterwards in my whole face.

After a few seconds, I managed to cut off the tip. And then threw it at Tara with a grin as I got off the chair.

"Hey!" She called and threw the tip back.

I caught it and put it on the living room table.

"I have to admit... I feel a little overwhelmed," I said nervously and looked at the tree and the boxes with the decoration.

Tara hugged y/n from behind and put her head on her shoulder.

"Relax..." she said.

I sighed "relax? Decorating the tree was always stressful at home. No matter how I and my dad had decorated in, my mom then corrected everything afterwards," I said and laughed nervously.

Suddenly I felt Tara's lips on my neck and I got very stiff.

I felt a tingling at the point where her lips had touched me. My thoughts were empty and I began to perceive more the pressure of her arms around my body.

"It's okay..." she now whispered in my ear and I had goosebumps again.

I went to relax my body and let myself fall into Tara's embrace. She held me tight and gave me a gentle kiss on the cheek.

"Come on lovebirds..." said Sam and joined us in the living room.

Y/n blushed slightly again and started decorating the tree with the carpenter sisters. They began to tell each other their weirdest Christmas story's and made sure to not break any Christmas decoration.

When we finished decorating the tree, Sam and Tara began discussing about who could be the one to put the star on the top. I just kept grinning watching them discussing.

"Tara you don't even reach the top and I bought the tree" she said teasing and held the star up so Tara couldn't reach it.

I had to keep my laughing back so hard. I never thought Sam would really tease Tara because of her size.

"Oh really? Watch me!" Said Tara competitive and managed to get the star out of Sam's hands.

Tara walked towards y/n and said

"Pick me up"

"What?" I said and laughed.

Tara looked at me with a tilted head and a slight serious look.

I stopped laughing and nodded. I bent down and put my arms around her thighs and lifted her up the next moment.

Sam laughed "I can't believe it"

We laughed when I held tara up so she could reach the top.

"Everything okay up there?" I asked grinning after Tara still didn't manage to put the star on.

"Why don't you try?" She said slightly annoyed, but I heard a smile.

I grinned broadly and held her tighter.

"Im good... I like the view" I said teasing and looked up at her while her ass wasn't far away from my face.

Tara stopped in her move and looked down at y/n with a grin, before putting the star on top of the tree.

"Finally..." said Sam and left into the kitchen.

I breathed out and let Tara down careful.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and gave me a soft kiss on the cheek.

After decorating the rest and eating together it was already dark outside.

"Thank you for the invite..." I said shy and finished to clean the last dish from our dinner.

"You don't have to be y/n... you’re part of the family" said Sam with a warm smile and touched slight y/n’s shoulder as she left the kitchen.

Again I had that goosebump on my whole body. Family. I repeated in my head.

I turned around and leaned on the kitchen counter when Tara walked towards me and grabbed my hands and intertwined our fingers.

"You good?" She whispered and moved closer to y/n

"Yeah why?" I asked quite and looked into her dark welcoming and shining eyes.

Tara shrugged her shoulders and smiled shy

"You seemed to be a bit off..."

Y/n let go of Tara's hands and placed them on Tara's hips and pulled her closer in.

"I'm good..." I whispered with a slight smile.

Tara moved her hand slowly around y/n neck and moved even closer whispering "you stay the night?" Her lips brushed slight y/n’s.

Y/n blushed and grinned shyly.

"Only... if you help me next weekend to decorate my apartment cause I totally forgot about Christmas and have nothing for my apartment".

Tara smirked and kissed y/n deep before whispering "I'll take care of that".

One week passed. It was Friday evening y/n was lying on her couch in black joggers and a hoodie. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Y/n furrowed her brows and got up. Who could that be. She didn't had invited anyone. As soon as she opened the door she saw Tara, Mindy, Chad and Sam. Holding many shopping bags and boxes in their hands.

"Hello there!" Called out Mindy like y/n always did.

They walked past y/n and got into her apartment.

"Damn we got some work do to here" said Sam. While y/n looked confused after chad, Mindy and Sam. Tara was standing beside y/n with a wide grin.

"I told you I'll take care of that"

Y/n looked shy at Tara "thank you..." she said quite.

There was this spark in Tara's eyes again. She moved closer to y/n and held up suddenly a mistletoe.

Y/n blushed more and felt caught off guard.

Tara kept grinning "your so shy sometimes I love it" she whispered while grabbing y/n by her chin and kissing her deep.

Y/n felt herself melting away in Tara's hands. She felt the warmth of her hands on her face and her soft lips on hers.

She pulled Tara closer and kissed her back

After both stopped kissing, y/n rested her forehead on Tara's and whispered "you feel like home to me you know that right?"

Tara smiled and caressed y/n cheek

"I know..."

Y/n kissed her softly and pulled her arms around Tara "we're family now..."

Matt with a little that regresses because of depression but it doesn't really help so he has a sad baby to take care of :(

My little sweetheart

matt sturniolo and little!reader with depression

You just came back home and you're incredibly exhausted. Everything is blurry and all you want and absolutely need right now is to snuggle in bed with Matt and feel the safety of being close to him. You can feel that the emotions started to wear you out and you started to slip into little space slowly. Matt heard quiet slam of the door and walked quickly downstairs to see you. He smiled lovingly and you run towards him, needy to be held. He could see something is wrong, he always do, a frown appeared on his face.

"Hey baby...Draining day, huh..?" He asked quietly, almost whispering because he didn't wanted to overwhelm you even more. You just nod simply and he cradle your face into his palms gently and kissed your forehead.

"It's okay, hun. It's okay to feel like this, you know? I love you so much." He continued, trying to bring you some comfort

"Dada.." You said quietly with a soft pout on your lips, clearly exhausted and your eyes tearly.

"Yes, little one?" He asked then saw tears in your pretty eyes. "You wanna let it out? It's completely alright to cry and to let the emotions out, sweetheart." He caress your hair gently then look at you and you nod.

"Wann rest with daddy.." You told him.

"Of course, angel. We're gonnna lay down together, right? Then daddy is gonna make a little meal for you and prepare a bath for you. Would you like it?" He's asked, trying to make you feel at least a little bit better. You nod softly and Matt lifted you up to carry you to your room. He prepared earlier a pajama for you so you can change and feel more comfortable. He put you on the bed and help you change into the pajama then he lay next to you. He lifted up the duvet then wait until you snuggle to him, like you always do. He covered both of you then look down at you lovingly.

"I know you don't feel well, little one, but I'm here you know? You know that you can always sob your little heart out and I'll be next to you because I love you and want to help you, baby. Can you show daddy where you are?" He asked with a soft smile then you pointed at his heart and he nod, his heart melting.

"Yes, baby, you have taken over daddy's heart. Remember it always, I love taking care of you, you're not a burden, you're loved and safe." You smiled softly then feel a caring kiss on your temple. Then you pointed at the table next to the bed where your pacifier is. You look up at him then snuggle more and he know you wanted your pacifier. He took it and put into your mouth so you can suck it.

"Sleepy baby?" He asked and you nodded again. "Then close your tired eyes and let sleep take you to the dreamland, okay, little one?" Then after a while, you peacefully fell asleep in his arms while cuddling to your plushie and sucking your pacifier. After an hour, you woke up slowly and rub your sleepy eyes. When you opened them fully, you were still laying with Matt but you noticed a little surprise on the desk. Your eyes lit up and Matt smiled lovingly. "I got something for you, my little angel. Wanna see?" And you nod in excitement. He help you to sit up and you look at the desk again. There's a new pacifier, another plushie, little meal, new toothbrush and two coloring books. Matt kissed your head softly and smile.

"You liked the pacifier in the shop, right? I got it for you, hun, with a little bunny, you see? New stuffie for my baby, yeah? Bluey coloring books for my little Bluey enjoyer, and I made you some food. I know when you feel sad and drained, baby dont have strength to eat, right? But daddy made you a little dinner so it's more enjoyable and easier to eat. Also toothbrush, sweets. It's a princesses one, you see? When you're exhausted it's hard to remember about things like that, am I right? But I promise I'll help you and I can brush your teeth if you want, hun. The toothbrush is super soft and won't hurt you, and you like princesses, yeah? You're one of them, you're daddy's little princess."

Your big eyes look up at him and you can't put in words how you love him and how thankful you are. You struggle with depression but he always try his best and try to make your days as enjoyable as possible so you feel at least a little better.

"I luv yuu..." You whispered then rest your head on his chest.

"Daddy love you too, you know? He love you the most. You're my little sweetheart." he smiled gently. "Eat, baby, then I'm gonna prepare bath for you, okay? You had a tiring day and deserve to rest and play with your bath toys. Are you excited to play with them?" he asked with a smile on his face

"Yeah!" you said cutely then started to eat slowly. After 20 minutes, Matt started to prepare bath for you so you can relax in warm water. He lifted you up gently then carry you to bathroom. Your eyes lifted up when you saw the colorful bath that he prepared for you. You clap your hands a little in happiness then Matt helped you take off your clothes and get into the bath. The pretty colors in your bath and a lot of cool toys made you keep your mind off sad things and problems so you calmed down a lot. Matt washed you and tried to be as gentle as possible. After a happy bath, he helped you to get in your pajama and slippers, then he brushed your teeth and your hair.

"Im so proud of you, angel. You had a hard day and yet you did so well. Now you're all cleaned up and ready for sleep. Or my little one want to play a little more? We have some time until bed time. Wanna color your Bluey coloring book?" he asked and your eyes lit up, he already knew the answer.

"Yeah! c:" you said with a smile on your face.

This Story is also on Wattpad if any of you wanne read it on there. (L_inGacha: Minecraft diaries x guard!reader)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Episode 1 ~ New World

Once upon a time there was a beautiful Village, but ever since the Lord passed away, the Village and it's people fell into despair, leaving it in mostly ruins...and ever since then the guards have had their hands full to protect the remaining people of it. But all that was about to Change when a new individual joined the world not knowing the Journeys that would lay ahead................

============================

Reader's POV

============================

I was standing on the outskirt of the Village with Garroth and Zenix, discussing or more like debating about the future and what to do now since our Lord has passed away a few weeks ago.

Zenix: „What are we going to do ? Since our last Lord passed away the people have been going crazy. Not to mention we are running low on local resources, and we have no connection to the other villages."

Garroth: „Zenix, do not worry. I have a plan."

(Y/N): „Well in that case I am sure we can figure this out. We just need to keep our heads high."

I smile at them, when I suddenly heard something move next to me and Zenix must have heard it too as he turned to look behind him.

Zenix: „Wait ! Did you hear that ?"

============================

Narrator's POV

============================

And with that a mysterious man dressed in green and brown, who was hiding behind a tree, runs off knowing that he was detected. And not even that far away from the Village spawned a new Person into the world, not knowing that even she was being watched from futher away.

============================

Aphmau's POV

============================

I spawned into my new Minecraft world ready to start the new series...

Aphmau: „Alright, Day 1, and now it is time to of course find some shelter, before the night falls. As you can see the day has just begun so I have got plenty of time, there's a lot of trees around here, so I should be good in terms of getting, like a crafting bench going, and all that kind of stuff. But let's just go ahead and find a nice little hole..."

I walked around for a few Seconds befor i saw a small hole in the ground, running over to take a look at it to see if it's any good.

Aphmau: „That's-that's a terrible hole I'm not gonna go in there- let's just try to find a nice little hole or something I can-"

Cutting myself off I zoom in on a man in green and brown clothes, cutting down a tree. I got excited and started to run torwards him.

Aphmau: „Hey there's a guy over there ! Come here, I need to talk to you! I need to find a nice little hole. If you happen to know where-"

But befor i could finish my question he was gone as I reached the tree...

Aphmau: „What- where'd he go ?", looks at the half chopped down, floating tree, „Oh my god, he did- that really upsets me the fact that-"

And again befor i could finish my sentence i spot the mysterious man again and chase after him.

Aphmau: „Come here, hey ! Come here I need to talk to- you just left that tree- you just really left that tree undone. You just literally were-"

Running after him he lead me right into a Village with the man getting attacked by one of the three guards standing infront of it befor he dissapeard into thin air.

Aphmau: „Oh my god that guy's getting attacked by that guard. W-Where'd he go ? Where'd he go ? Uhmm... alright. He's gone but he led me to a village ! And there's some awesome guards here ! This guard is pretty cool, what are you doing ?"

I walk over to the guards, clicking on the one with white fabric on his chest with a black cross on it.

Garroth: „I don't think anyone in the village will listen to any of the guards. Not after how horrible the last lord was..."

Aphmau: „Oh..."

I turn to the second guard, unlike the other one you can see his eyes, and click on him aswell. I also notice their names popping up.

Aphmau: „So that's Garroth, this is uhm...Zenix and this is...(Y/N)."

Zenix: „Now that the Lord is gone the village is in chaos. What are we going to do ?"

Aphmau: „Oh. Oh ! What kind of chaos is the village going through cause I could help out !"

Befor i walk away and explore the Village i go and click on the last guard which is a female guard.

(Y/N): Turns to aphmau, „Seems like someone is listening in..."

Aphmau: „Oh ?! Sorry, didn't mean to listen in on this uhm...conversation. Yeah i'm just gonna go ahead and- and get to exploring this Village and look at the chaos."

I laugh nervously as i walk around the small Village to observe the "chaos".

Aphmau: „I mean I just spawned in the world so I could absolutely take over this village and become the new terrible Lord. I mean Awesome Lord.”

I corrected myself quickly, as i come across a well with, what seems to be the whole Village.

Aphmau: „Oh my god. Oh my god ! There's so many people in here ! Literally in this water ! I don't know where that other guy went, but I'm-”

I yelp as i fall down a hole into a cave.

Aphmau: „Ah ! Hey here's my hole, look at that ! This is a nice hole to begin in.”

I climb out of the hole and begin to look around the village yet again. Coming back to the well.

Aphmau: „Alight so really let's go ahead and see what's going on in this village. So I got a lot of people here and there's' a lot of people literally taking a little nice bubble bath, I don't see that-”, she falls down the same hole again, „Gosh darn it I did the same thing again. That is really going to hurt somebody, and uh that's not going to be a good thing and there's- hey look there's like a balinskin there ! And who is that ?!”, falls down the hole yet again, „Oh my goodness that's the third time ! Alright ! First time shame on you, second time shame on me, third time I don't know what's going on. But alright so we got Brendan the farmer, and we have a bunch of stuff to work with !”

After that i wander down the path to the crops and start getting some wheat and other food.

Aphmau: „We also have a lot of food here. Which was something that was about to be a problem but now that I'm actually here in this village I don't have to worry about that anymore. Alright so let's go ahead and get settled in here. I don't think that they're gonna mind if I'm here ? I mean- Lydia the farmer...”, struggles to pronounce Lydia's name, „Alright so there's a lot of stuff that needs to go on here but I think I'm gonna go ahead and settle in in this village. Uhm- I know I was looking for a hole, but I kind of already found it down below. Especially inside of the nice little well.”

I now make my way to the Forrest that is near the small Village and start choppimg down some trees for tools.

Aphmau: „So, first things first, let's go ahead and start with the crafting bench. The basics of Minecraft literally visiting the basics of Minecraft. Uhm- I think what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna stay in this village now and-”

After getting one Log of Wood, i see the achievement pop up on the screen "Getting wood" and after finishing it, i make my way back to the Village.

Aphmau: „Ooh ! First achievement. Awh I always love getting that achievement because it's just like you're building your way up. And I might even try to keep track of like the achievement that I have so that way I can try to get them all, but I'm sure that will happen in due time. But lets' go ahead, get this village started ! First, let's start by fixing that stupid hole. that's- that's incredibly annoying.”

As i was about to fix the hole i look at the poor people in the well.

Aphmau: „And saving those poor people down in the well ! Alright ! Lets see, this is a nice- Oh.”

I was about to help the people in the well but i saw Zombies emerging out of the cave i fell into to many times.

Aphmau: „Oh my god that zombie's about to destroy those people, and I just realized that I spawned in with a bunch of cool stuff !”

I begin to cycle through my inventory when i noticed the items, showing the ones i have so far. Stopping at a gold coin with a dog head on it.

Aphmau: „Right here I have a doggie Charm-”, next a golden book looking item with what appears to be two swords crossed on the cover, „A command elm-”, and lastly a white baton with a golden ball on top, „And a pet wand. Which I am going to use to destroy... Oh. Okay. I can't use that.”

I say to myself, not able to destroy the Zombie with the Wand and doing it with my hands instead.

Aphmau: „I'm just gonna destroy them with my bare hands, I'll show these villagers how hardcore I can be !”

Killing the Zombie successfully i head into one of the few houses that are still intacked, passing the Villiagers in the well.

Aphmau: „There we go. I saved you guys from the zombies. Awesome. Alright so, we're gonna have a little rocky start here, not as rocky as these people because they're just- they're just terribly doomed and- Hey ! There's a crafting bench here so I don't even need to worry and-”

Clicking on the crafting bench i suddenly ate a Zombie brain that i got from killing the one earlier, i get out of the crafting Menu to see Brendan.

Aphmau: „Why did I- Brendan ! You made me eat a zombie's brain, I don't want to see you again just- follow me. Please, follow me. Here. You need a- sense you're a farmer, I'm gonna take you all the way over here because you could this could be your little farmhouse Brendan. Yeah. Or Bolin since his skin is actually like a Bolin kind of skin.”

Leading Brendan past the crops and to the House there and making him go in.

Aphmau: „So, I'm gonna put you right in here since, yeah, I have some stuff to spare. You can come in here. See ? Come on, you can do it. Oh man ! I just housed one person.” , Brendan leaves the house, „Hey where you going ?”, Aphmau brings him back into the house, „Stay right here. This is your house now Brendan. It's nobody else house but yours. You have your nice little place.”

After making sure Brendan is ok, i make my way back to my own house.

Aphmau: „I'm already being a better to be Lord then the other person was. Hello, Aiden the farmer. Alright. Aiden is doing his thing. Wow, now that we have Aiden, we have a lot of farmer's here. I'm gonna have to see what I can do as far as helping them all out !", goes back to the crafting bench, „All right, so let's grab some basic tools of Minecraft. We're gonna grab the sword, first off, because I'm gonna need to defend these people since night is falling pretty fast. Let's also grab an axe, there we go. A pickaxe because that's definitely gonna need that. So, there we go. And a shovel, oh we don't even have enough stuff for a shovel, but we have a nice crafting bench here so we didn't have to waste a lot of materials on that. Plus we have a bunch of carrots, we have some zombie's brains, and we're gonna free these people right here because they are just utterly dying ! So lets see."

Making my way to the well i start to break the side of it with my pickaxe in order to free the people. Some of them make it out of there.

Aphmau: „There we go, you're free people ! Run ! Get out of there ! Don't- Don't- Okay."

Seeing one of the women getting out of the well, the name above her head saying Molly, looking at me as if i done something bad.

Aphmau: „Molly's just like hey I was in my bath ! This is- This is how I get clean every now and again. All right, follow me. How 'bout you follow me. You follow me.”

I say clicking on her and making her and two other women to follow me, walking past the crops again to a small Hut across from Brendans farm house.

Aphmau: „I'm gonna save the babes first. Come on babes, let's go ! Let's go. I'm gonna move all the babes out here. Oh look, their all following me !”

I open the door to a small hut and lead the „babes” inside.

Aphmau: „Alright so this is gonna be the babe house right here. Come on in ladies. So, you stay right here. Follow me actually, if you guys could stop opening the door that would be fantastic. It's kind of just slamming in my ear. You stay there, and you stay there. There we go. Alright, so this is the babe house right now. I saved them, they are now in-depth. Debt. They are not in depth, they are in debt to me.”

I run back to the well to save more villagers.

Aphmau: „The guards ? Well, the guards are really dumb. No wonder nobody knows- [Laughs, does an impression of one of the guards] "I say ! It's time we take a bath together ! A Bath we can't get out of." [Speaking normally] Oh my gosh no wonder nobody's gonna listen to you guys. Alright, so I think the guards are pretty much doomed, yeah, their doomed.”

I replace the block for the well deciding to leave them there for now.

Aphmau: „Yeah, we'll just leave them there. Okay... Now I need a few- let's see... I'm gonna get some- try to upgrade my weapons at least. Try to upgrade my weapons, try to get some... maybe a nice bed ? Inside of my place ? I don't even know if I'm allowed to have, like, the big house. I'm assuming that it's- I mean I haven't seen like a Lords' house or anything around here so I'm assuming that all these houses are up for grabs since the village is really kind of in, like, quite literally in chaos.”

As i walk around for a second one of the villagers ask if i am new around here.

Aphmau: „I actually am new around here, and I actually haven't properly introduced myself. Kent the guard ! All of the guards- Nobody's gonna listen to you guys if you keep acting like that !”

Kent the guard: „You've heard this from where ?”

Aphmau: „I've heard things from everywhere actually. Yes ! See, the guards just keep going inside, they are so bad !”

I laugh and fall in the hole for the last time.

Aphmau: „I got to fix all of this !  Okay !”

Annoyed i walk down to the cave and start to mine a bit more stone.

Aphmau: „Let's continue, let's continue. We were going to get the basic's down here, and as I continue this series I'm definitely going to have to make sure that I do a lot of farming. At least I can say that the nice part is that I found the hole I was originally looking for, so now I have all this really cool material and stuff that I can use. Nothing to fancy just yet. I mean I have coal and that's what really matters at the end of the day, Because quite literally, at the end of the day it gets pretty darn dark. And when that comes this is how the monsters come out and that's when they're like- Oh man, hey did you call for a monster ?”

Hearing a scary noise i stop in my tracks and look around for a moment.

Aphmau: „What was that ? What is that ? What was that noise ? That was creepy ! That was like, really creepy. Alright then whatever, I'll just ignore it for the time being, and start to make some more- start to make a better, like, upgrade for my weapons and stuff. Alright, so, I got- I got a nice little house for the time being until I get, like, you know, evicted for that not being my house.”

Making my way back to the survice, i go into my house seeing a new person and getting to making myself some stone tools.

Aphmau: „Hello there Kevin the Baker ! It's good to see you. And then we have- man we have a lot of farmer's here. Okay. It's time to make some upgrades. There we go, stone sword, all set.”

One of the villagers ends up in my house...

Aphmau: „Why do people keep coming into my house and stay- Why do people keep coming into my house ?”

...when all off the sudden the villager dissapeard.

Aphmau: „What- where did you go ? What is going on !? Where did he go ? Where did he- I'm assuming he went to bed but that was just creepy as heck ! I mean come on you don't just stand on somebody's crafting table, look at them, then disappear ! It's completely rude ! Okay, I'll go with it if that's how this village want's to play ! This is a little weird. No, I don't need that, I need a pickaxe- like a brand new shiny pickaxe. There we go. Pickaxe and what else can I get ? Basic tools, axe, there we go. Alright so now I can get some weapons. And of course I need some torches and I think we're gonna set down some torches here in the village if there aren't some there already. I don't think there are because just traveling around I haven't seen anything crazy, but I'm gonna go ahead and just you know, kind of light up my area and maybe light up-”

I walk out of my house to place torches around the village before it gets to dark. I also close the hole befor falling down again !

Aphmau: „I feel so bad for those guards. Okay, so I can't help but laugh at them because they're just being silly now. Oh god, I hear zombies. Okay, so I'm gonna fix this part because I keep falling down on it. Make it look a little bit nicer later, but for now lets' just start to get the mine going so I can start digging down deep and finding out feelings and stuff like that.”

Just as I was about to keep on walking i spot a creeper and right after a skeleton.

Aphmau: „Oh god there's a creeper ! Oh god there's a skeleton !”, starts attacking them, „Go away Creeper ! Shoo, shoo, shoo ! ooh ! ooh ! Good I got them !”

I make my way from the spot i killed the Mops.

Aphmau: „Okay. Alright. I'm good, I'm fine, I'm good.”

I'm back in the cave when suddenly zombies can be heard in the distance.

Aphmau: „I hear zombies and I don't like it. I don't like it at all.”

I start to dig towards the zombie noises.

Aphmau: „I think they're coming from this way. I'm gonna be honest I hear from like around here. I kind of really wanna find them too if there's zombies in the walls. I don't need- I don't need zombies coming over to my place and being like hey we just decided to invade ! Just all randomly. Yeah, I hear a bunch of zombies. I want to find them... I also need to find some, some, some iron, make better weapons, maybe some diamond ? That would be amazing if I found diamond on the first episode. That would be fan-freaking-tastic actually ! Don't think its gonna happen though. And I still see more like, little health bar thingies. Down that way. So let me go take a look down here and see if I can find something cause these guards.”

I notice a health bar and start to dig down towards them.

Aphmau: „Are they drowning ? Like, are they legit drowning ?”, digs into the well, „Oh god. See, I have a feeling that this would be a wonderful idea if- oh my god are they dead ? Did they die ? Did they drown them- what !? They're gone ! Oh my god ! Okay, that cool... I'm a little sad. But at least we know why the village isn't gonna listen to the guards anymore because they're just gonna get themselves murdered and stuff. Okay. Let's see, I hear zombies. I don't know if there's like a little plot hole of zombies around here ? But that would be wonderful if there was like a little saddle I can already mount a steed. I'm getting way to ahead of myself. I'm still to get- I still got to take the baby steps first. The first episode you just got to, you know, just chill out and pick flowers and stuff. I mean that's all you can really do. Aside from you know just building up your repertoire with people. Which I haven't really done. And there's a bunch of flowers here. I'm gonna grab them all. Make this place look a little bit- a little bit more scenic.”

Rounding the corner on the surface, after I gathered my flowers to see a herd of zombies.

Aphmau: „Oh gosh. Oh gosh ! There they are ! There's the zombies ! They were trying to attack the guards and they were being like- oh the guards are smart ! Their hiding themselves... You cowards, don't do that ! You got to come out and fight ! Fight for your right...”, breaks the well yet again, giving the guards a chance to escape, „To party ! Get out, get out, get out. All right you know, I'm gonna leave that open just in case the guards decide that they're gonna stop being so flaky and oh-”

I make my way to one of the many small houses and open the door, seeing a Guy named Aiden.

Aphmau: „This is where Aiden the farmer lives ! All right that's Aiden the farmer.”

I run off to check on the rest of the houses. When i noticed that the Babe house is being attacked by zombies. So i rush over there to help them.

Aphmau: „Then we got the babes ! they need help, they need help, they need help ! These babes are lucky that these monsters didn't go after them.”

I turn to Brendan's house, Zombies being also at his door.

Aphmau: „Oh gosh, oh gosh. Why are- Oh my gosh. The zombies are trying to get my babes. Already ! I didn't wanna be throwing in the action this soon ! Okay, all right, all right. Babes ? You seem alright, ok good.”

I walk back to my house one of the villager dissapeard when i wanted to move her. But she reappeard and entert my house.

Aphmau: „Oh hey, look she made it ! You made it, I'm so happy your here ! All right so just stay right there, stay right there, you, you, you, can stay with me tonight all right ? You can stay- I'm sorry, I'm sorry, about having to wake you up, it's such a rude manner but you know I really just- I really was looking out for you're safety, Emmalyn the librarian. You know, this is actually a nice place for you so you can hang out here because I got lots of books, you can read books and have like a great time here, you, you, you'll be fine, you'll be fine don't worry, I got you baby. Alrighty guys, well thank you so much for joining me for this episode of Minecraft diaries. We still have a lot of questions that need to be answered, like where did that guy go in the beginning and how am I going to actually fix up this village because it seems like there's a lot more problems than I had originally anticipated.”

In the Corner of my eye I zoom in on a creeper.

Aphmau: „We got a creeper infestation problem over there, we got our guards which are making like a huge guard soup here, I might have to like just cover this thing up.”

I look back at the well, it seems like there are no more villagers and so I fixe the well and cover it up.

Aphmau: „I don't think there's any more guards down there thankfully so yeah- I'm just gonna- I'm just gonna cover this place up right now. So yes, guys thank you so much for joining me for this episode of Minecraft Diaries and I will see you all in the next episode ! Until then, hopefully, Emmalyn won't be mad at us anymore.”, turns to third Person, „Until then, take care. Buh Bye !”

Nah how much you wann bet he saw the edit and totally forgot it was supposed to be a flower 🤣

Honestly...could see that being the case as well 😄 (maybe he's just as bad at edit-spotting as i am 😊) or...he handed control of his IG over to someone (his kids?), and they made the post and they took it down before he found out 😊

But that's okay, it was a fun pic, it's great to see Richard posting regularly, makes me feel that at least he's doing better after the 2022 tour than he did after the 2019 one, when he fell into a pretty big low (as he talked about in interviews). I remember seeing an out and about pic from 2020 where i thought he looked very thin and pale, looking back i wouldn't be surprised if that was as he was getting back up..🌺

And besides, he's posted on his IG and taken the post down before as well, i can't point to a specific post (as they're not there anymore), but i'm sure there were some..🌺

it's what she gets for wandering off, she supposes. debris flies around the room, a ghost only she can hear screaming & hurling insults as viciously as the pieces of wood & brick & trash. annette had enough volume for one good scream before a small chunk of wood struck her face, leaving the left side of her nose & mouth bruised & bleeding. by the time she hears living footsteps, she's curled into a corner like it's a tornado drill -- knees tucked to her forehead, arms covering the back of her skull, folded neater than a napkin. through her stutter & her panicked breath, she's muttering a constant stream of make it stop, make it stop, make it stop --

whether by sheer luck, or maybe her insistence upon his carrying a silver charm, or maybe just it wasn't fun for the spirit anymore, it all stops as quickly as it had begun. annette doesn't lift her head until he speaks, only barely peering her eyes over her knees. wide eyes look behind him, around the area, spine pressed against the wall. the coast is clear, & she can only imagine how pathetic she looks. thin limbs unfurl, breathing calmer but wheezing. (a side effect of both her panic & the dust.) warm, sticky blood flows -- slowly but surely -- down from her nose to her chin, & she fights the urge to sniffle.

"i c -- i c-ca - can-n't g ... g-go h-h-hom-me. i-i --" tears well up in her eyes. he may have thought she was some sort of expert, but disappointingly, she only knows so much by trial & error. the makeup-covered scars are lessons.

Sprout Journal 11/3/24

Hey Tumblr! There's some stuff I wanna talk about today, so I'm going to do a lil journal entry. I was doing journaling at home with pen and paper, but frankly my handwriting is so bad and I use my hands like that so infrequently that I was cramping before I got even close to writing all of my thoughts out each day. So I decided I'm going to put my thoughts that I can share out like this, it can be somewhat of a log of my own self growth! And also keep me a lil sane if I'm struggling again.

Today has been a really good day, actually! So I was on a really successful diet for about 6 months during which I got a 3rd of the way to my overall weight goal and built a bunch of muscle. Then, when I started college full time, I basically stopped altogether. I didn't gain any weight back, but I have been plateaued (least favorite word to spell omg) for a looonggggg time. This week, I've been finally eating how I want to again. My go to breakfast has been

Overnight oats: 1/2 cup of unrefined dried oats 1/2 cup of 2% milk 1 whole banana cut into thin slices 1 tablespoon of honey

Honestly I had it on like the 29th without any banana or honey and that SHIT WAS ASSSSSSS. It was so bland, but I hate wasting food so I downed that slop anyway and felt siicccckkkk ough. Honestly it's been really hard to eat lately due to my current tweak out sesh (breakup stuff) and forcing myself to down that was terrible ToT. This new version with banana and honey is AMAZING THOUGH LIKE ITS GENUINELY TASTY?

After I ate that I went to work and... honestly? As much as I hate my co-workers? It was really good to see them today. They may be bad people, but they are all really attached to me. I have been giving them all life advice for so long because I thought I had it all figured out, and it's very funny being on the opposite end of things now. I specifically asked them if they think I was being silly for reaching out and breaking no contact with my partner (they are my ex but... ugh it doesn't feel right to say that, it makes my stomach hurt). I explained to them why, how, and when I did it and... they actually supported me, they are the only ones in my life who think that reaching out was anything but a mistake. I probably asked 12 people about it and only those three felt like... maybe I'm not wrong for trying to continue the conversation more than we did. Either way, they responded yesterday and we've been talking a lot today. Us talking naturally doesn't mean we're automatically back together, but it might be a new beginning of sorts regardless of what the end looks like. I'm feeling hopeful that we might be able to talk things out and heal, but I can't say anything for certain for now and probably won't be able to for a long time.

I can say that... I found out today that they were thinking about me too. When they started replying to my texts today I snuck out of work to sit in the back of my car and just... take in what they were saying, and respond. They took a picture at work that had my name on it... that made me cry real, fat tears for the first time since this happened. It's strange how I had been sobbing but my cheeks stayed dry, but the moment I talked to them and saw a glimmer of us in their life I started bawling in the back of my own car.

Today is also the first day I've rested instead of heading to the gym after work since this all started. Oh my god my body is so sore. Right now I'm planning out the rest of my night and physical activity is NOT on the agenda.

- After I post this I'll give myself a bit more time to rest and relax - Then it's time to work on homework! First I have to practice for an oral exam I have tomorrow in Spanish class. Then after that, I have both a presentation and another project in Archaeology due on Friday ToT I also have this re-write of a short story for creative writing that I need to work on a second draft of - Then I want to work on OC stuff? I have some ideas for a sleep token OC that I wanna work on, and also I think I can refine my OC's for DnD, my personal writing projects and more somewhat? I think it'd been neat to try and draw them myself sometime soon - besides that I don't think I have plans. Maybe some video games or reading if I have extra time!

Thank you for listening tonight tumblr, you're the realest <3 if anyone sees this, I'm still looking for more mutuals! I wanna learn more about people who share my interests, don't be a stranger :3

[VIDEO] Eklatante Diskriminierung: indigene Männer müsse ihre Shirts umdrehen, um Einlass zu erhalten

Drei indianische Männer wurden am Eingang der Central States Fair vom Sicherheitspersonal angehalten und gezwungen, ihre Hemden auf links zu drehen - einer trug ein T-Shirt des NDN Collective, die anderen trugen Kleidung des American Indian Movement. Rapid City, SD - Am Wochenende wurden mindestens drei indianische Männer vom Sicherheitspersonal der Central States Fair in Rapid City gezwungen, ihre T-Shirts und Kleidungsstücke umzudrehen, bevor sie die Messe betreten konnten. Auf einem T-Shirt stand "NDN Collective", auf einem anderen "American Indian Movement", und ein dritter trug eine Weste mit Aufnähern, auf denen "American Indian Movement", "I am My Brother's Keeper" und "Remember Wounded Knee" zu lesen waren. Das Sicherheitspersonal behauptete, es seien keine Logos oder Farben von Organisationen erlaubt. In den Bekleidungsvorschriften der Central States Fair heißt es jedoch nur, dass "Hemd und Schuhe erforderlich sind" und dass "freiliegende Unterwäsche, vulgäre oder unangemessene Kleidung, Bandenfarben oder Bandenzeichen nicht erlaubt sind".

Bildschirmausschnitte aus dem Video: Ein indianischer Mann mit einem T-Shirt des NDN Collective, der auf die Aufforderung der Sicherheitskräfte reagiert, sein Hemd umzudrehen, um auf das Messegelände zu gelangen. In der Zwischenzeit liefen viele ungehindert durch die Messe und trugen Kleidung mit Organisationszugehörigkeit - einige Beobachter sagten, dazu gehörten Hell's Angels, Biker mit ihren Farben auf ihren Westen, Pro-Trump-Sprache, Verweise auf die Thin Blue Line und andere politische Sprache. "Diese Art von Diskriminierung ist nichts Neues - wir hatten im Laufe der Geschichte damit zu tun und haben auch heute noch damit zu tun", sagte Hermus Bettelyoun, Organisator bei NDN Collective. "Es ist eklatant, es ist gefährlich, und es stört das Leben. Unsere Stadt versucht, den Rassismus mit Notlösungen wie Schulungen zur kulturellen Sensibilität zu bekämpfen, aber die Behandlung indigener Menschen ändert sich nicht. Wir werden im Alltag diskriminiert, weil indigene Menschen, die sich zum Schutz unserer Gemeinschaft durch tief verwurzelte Liebe organisieren, als Bedrohung angesehen werden. Wann wird das aufhören?"   Sowohl das NDN-Kollektiv als auch das American Indian Movement sind für ihre unermüdliche Arbeit zum Schutz indigener Gemeinschaften in Rapid City und im ganzen Land bekannt. Eine Weste des American Indian Movement (AIM) ist ausgestellt - ein weiteres Kleidungsstück, das ein indigener SD Fair-Teilnehmer vor dem Betreten der Veranstaltung ausziehen musste. Foto mit freundlicher Genehmigung des NDN-Kollektivs. "Diskriminierung ist die Auswirkung der Saat der Angst, die ständig gepflanzt wird - und Vorfälle wie dieser erinnern uns daran, dass Amerika auf der Verunglimpfung indigener Menschen aufgebaut wurde", sagte Sunny Red Bear, Aktionsorganisatorin bei NDN Collective. "Die Tatsache, dass niemand außerhalb der indigenen Gemeinschaften die indianische Bewegung oder das, wofür sie steht, versteht, ist beabsichtigt. Während wir hier in South Dakota gegen eine bestimmte Art von Rassismus kämpfen, erstreckt sich die Diskriminierung und Auslöschung indigener Völker auf das ganze Land. Wir werden uns nicht von denen zum Schweigen bringen lassen, die den Status quo der weißen Vorherrschaft aufrechterhalten wollen. Wir werden weiter dafür kämpfen, dass unser Volk bekannt ist und respektiert wird." Lesen Sie hier den Originalartikel.

@kn1fegut: 6o﹕ sender  claps  a  hand  over  receiver’s  mouth  to  silence  them . / accepting.

there's still a tight echo of her mother's well-manicured grip on her upper arm, ushering her out of the motel room's door. annette wasn't sure what she had done wrong -- not that she ever really knew. maybe it had been something about her job packing, or having forgotten something, or asking about an item her mother had purposefully forgotten, or just about anything. or perhaps it had been nothing at all. but suddenly meredith carli was screaming, tossing things about the tiny room, calling her every name in the book. & annette was crying, pleading. (mama, mama, please ... don't yell, i'm sorry -- don't you ever call me mama, you understand? only children have those. i'm not your mama, i never wanted to be your mama, how dare you speak to me like that --) if there'd been anyone in the neighboring rooms, they likely heard the commotion.

so forcibly was the younger ushered outside, pushed onto her knees, & the door slammed & bolted. the sun at this point had not yet set fully, the dusky orange glow still barely illuminating the surrounding texan land. she climbs to her feet, the slight sting indicating she'd skinned her knees on the fall. annette gives herself a few minutes to calm down, hoping beyond hope her mother had done the same.

knock-knock. "m -- ... moth-ther ... ? i-it. s'g-getting ... dark. i'll -- i'll b-be good, i j-just ..." her voice is quiet, almost pathetic. "i ... i j-just wann-na sl-leep, please." no response. the sky is slowly getting darker, prompting the sparse street lamps to begin turning on. the brunette feels a pit growing in her stomach. no matter what she's done, surely, surely her mother won't make her sleep out here?

more time passes, the sky going from pale purple to the deep blue of night. every so often she's knocked, to no response. she presses her ear to the door, hearing the television drone. fresh tears prick at her eyes, disbelieving. one delicate hand knocks again, more forcefully. "p - please," she all but shouts, "i-it ... it's dark & i - i'm t-tired, please let m-me back in --" a prickly feeling on the back of her neck, like eyes. she turns over her shoulder, but sees nothing. but her rabbit heart speeds up, not wanting to meet the teeth of some coyote or anything like that. (how cute.)

thin hands shake as she jiggles the door handle, misplaced sense of panic rising. she knows where she is isn't safe. not many places are, especially for people built like her. for goodness' sake, she's seen plenty of nature documentaries where animals bigger than her were easily taken down. they'd hardly seen any other people out here, but that meant nothing. briefly, her mind flashes to everett mallory -- hundreds of miles away, & she still looks over her shoulder again. too dark to make anything out clearly, but still her nerves spike. "please -- please let me in, i'm sorry, mom, i --"

footsteps. quiet, like their owner was being careful, but she was being more careful. wide eyes lock onto someone much taller & much stronger than her, her words dying in her mouth. without looking away, she jiggles the knob more furiously, about to scream, when a hand claps over her mouth. the scream still escapes, muffled to little more than a whimper before the mounting panic catches up a little too fast -- & the girl faints, collapsing onto the concrete.
