#i was exposed to it by yt folks but the only people who i felt had genuine connection to energy and stones were my bipoc friends

[mueritos]

so i guess im getting into crystals and gems? talked to my therapist about the ones i bought (black obsidian star and round rose quartz i believe, and also a bismuth keychain). she told me she wouldnt recc obsidian to anyone but for me it works out cuz im mexican (teehee) but to be very careful if that shit fractures cuz it cuts like crazy. anyway. idk where to start with all these gems and crystals and im def interested in something that can just ground me? idk. i love rocks too. so does anyone have some resources on where to start with crystals/gemstones, any rituals/practices, etc?

Resolution

(For the start of this story, go here) So, I said I would update when I heard back about the DMCA takedowns on YT.

Good news!

Officially, YT ruled in my favour here, and while I'm not sure what'll happen from this point, I know that however things shake out I did what I came to do. (this is as of the time of writing, 12th Feb 2024)

Ideally this will be the end of the whole art theft escapade, and now I can go back to doing my own thing in relative peace and quiet-- that's all I wanted from the start, really. I'm just someone who has a fulltime job that does art of my own games/characters in my offtime. PDX/WoD have instated an 'opt-in' function for art to go in the spotlights in future videos, I got to tell them to leave my stuff alone, and even if they do upload edited versions of the videos without my stuff in, it's still what I set out to achieve.

I didn't expect quite so many people to hear me when I called up the problem, and nor did I expect so many folks to have been done the same wrong and to have felt like they couldn't say anything. I'm sorry you all had to sit in silence with it, some even longer ago than my issues stretched back to. Thank you to everyone who reached out, spread the word and tried to get the truth told one way or another. I really mean it. Doing this was stressful as fuck and not at all how I expected things to shake out either. And I am sorry that you were never given an apology for how you were treated. For what it's worth, you have my sympathy.

And I'll thank the friends who helped me work out the exact dates and timestamps of infringing problems, and who let me vent about the sheer confusion and stress the situation itself was just crammed to the teeth with.

Now, the best thing for all of us to do is to move on and keep doing what makes us happy. Further battling in the trenches is only gonna tire people out, and you don't need to expose yourself to that sort of forced toxicity, especially from people who've already made up their minds about the situation (however wrongly or not they may be going about it). Make your art, tell your stories and have a good time in the scene-- or any scene-- with the hope that now, at least this company will have learned a bit of a lesson about respect for artists.

All in all, thank you for listening to me. And for respecting artists wherever it applies to you.

Have a lovely day lads, and I hope this is the last I have to post about this. I just wanna get back to my gay shit yknow?

When I finished this reading, I cleansed & hopped right on YT, & guess what was recommended? Queennaija & Clarencenyc. But about what, you ask? About nearly everything I channeled in regards to their relationship. Well...if you guessed it already, there has been speculation around this couple & the legitimacy of their connection. OG fans of Queennaija have been cited as saying she isn't the same person she is now, verses the person she was with her ex, Chris Sails. Now, by no means were they defending (some were) that she was better with Chris, because they acknowledge the hurt he caused her, yet they couldn't shake the fact that there is a dynamic shift in her that Clarence caused; which, by the way, isn't favorable to the people who have noticed. To any Day 1 Queennaija fans that have noticed the change in her, & have felt iffy about her relationship with Clarence lately, I think this may be some tea worth sipping 👀☕

**DISCLAIMER**

I am not declaring, nor am I insinuating, that anything I say in my predictions are true accounts of any of the parties involved. This reading is for entertainment purposes only, & should only taken as such. All in good fun, folks 🤷🏾‍♀️🧿

💘 Energy surrounding their union?

From what I'm seeing, there are some oppositions taking place with them. In their synastry, they had a few more favorable aspects than karmic, the conflict & emotional pain was present. In the cards, these differences are coming up to the surface that seems to threaten the connection. I'm picking up that (& their synastry points to this too) Clarence is not as emotional as Queen, & he may even be a little spiteful in their relationship. I'm seeing a decision(s) that would compromise their commitment to one another. Clarence seems to be putting his emotions in an unknown place (he may be indulging in vices), & he could be in a materialistic mindset, only focused on what he can get out of the relationship. I'm getting he may travel a lot, thus spending much time away from Queen. I'm also getting the she is in her head alot about the relationship. She is also thinking about financial possibilities available to her, individually. She figures it is best to focus on her own talent & her own bag. Their commitment is going through some trials & tribulations, & it could have much to do with some secrets or information being uncovered. There is betrayal that I keep picking up on, & it can have something to do with his money hunger. There is an adjacent possibility where Queen decides to leave the relationship, & doing it privately. This relationship had karmic lessons in it for the both of them, & the only way Queen will find balance & peace is by moving away from Clarence.

💘 Clarence's feelings toward Queen?

I sense a need to master what is in his heart space. He's not coming off as much of an emotional person here, but needing to be able to see clarity in letting things flow the way they're supposed to. I'm also picking up that there is a possible 'other woman' that Queen may want some clarity about (someone he may interact with socially). Whether he is guilty of this or not, it doesn't help that he is always on the move. He's refusing to see that the relationship is running its course, & a decision isn't being made, & that is turning the relationship on its head. He spends a lot of time away, & is keeping things from her (namely a fire sign female, who doesn't have to be a fire sign though displays those qualities, or an a attractive female). He is the type to get his freedom when things aren't going right in the relationship, & detach. He may be reconsidering things about the way he feels or expresses himself emotionally, & he is needing to go within & master his heart space; but he is refusing to see this as the problem standing between them. He may be reconsidering his relationship with the fire sign woman (we'll call her the Queen Of Wands; QOW, cause we ain't done with shordie) to some extent, as well, for whatever reason, but as far as Queen, he's an opportunist.

💘 Queen's feelings toward Clarence?

I'm seeing that, as a couple, there are certain things that are unclear, &/or hidden from her. She loves Clarence, but she feels hopeless in trying to put in effort for commitment between them. I feel like she is well aware of QOW, or that there may be someone else he is occupying his time with; I feel like she has an idea. She may be feeling like her efforts aren't enough to keep the relationship in tact. She wants to confront him about the obvious changes in their relationship & she is very much in her head about it. Right now, their relationship seems like it is stagnant, as it is showing them not around each other as much. I think her focus is beginning to be more geared towards her career, though she is delaying the decision to move away from Clarence & the relationship. As a mother, she feels as though she needs to move away from what is is keeping her imbalanced. She feels as though he is egotistical & too focused on materialistic things, which has changed her entire perspective of their relationship. She feels like she should move on, since they continue to be at odds.

💘 What lies in the future for their union?

At this point, the only thing keep their relationship together (using that term loosely) is the actual confrontation about their conflicts & addressing his possible transgressions, & Queen is in a lot of thinking toward it. I feel the reason she is holding back is because she is in love with him, & walking away won't be that easy for her. From what I see, things will be back & forth for a while before the cycle ends & they each go their separate ways. Queen is stalling this decision, yet is cognizant of where it's going & is thinking about it heavily; though her heart is a lot in the way. QOW is still in the chat here, & this may sound farfetched, but I'm picking up a possible pregnancy. Either that, or this woman will become a more prominent figure/block to this situation that has ended up having the upper hand. There is anxiety & worrisome thoughts surrounding this speculation/person, but karmic balance will take place within this third party situation, & I see them continuing to be at odds within the home. Queen knows that leaving the relationship is the best option for her & her baby, but she is aware of the opposition that comes with it. As of right now, no official decision has been made on her part, but she is citing to be strong against strife & antagonism.

💘 BONUS: Who could this QOW be?

Just as expected, this QOW energy has caused disruption in this connection. But she feels like she someone who knows Clarence from a social setting or mutual friend. Not only that, they seem to be in contact regularly. She may be having a pregnancy scare, which may be why things seem like they will come to light. She is aware of the deception she & Clarence caused for Queen, & she thinks things with him went too far. It is possible that she is also worried about her finances. She is seeing this as an ample opportunity to gain financially, & it is possible he has financially supported her before, or currently is. Though she regrets things, a passion is ignited here. She may feel a real destined connection, or she believes this was supposed to happen for her, though the challenges & obstacles are apparent. She wants compensation for her troubles, so she may resort to blackmail in some way. If he doesn't accommodate her, she plans on exposing everything; she is analyzing this situation to use it to her advantage. This may be why things have been quiet this whole time, because she's been compensated so far. She knows, however, the longer she entertains this, or the deeper into this they become, it will be more conflicting challenges, but she is going along with it, so long as this continues to be an opportunity for her.

Alternative/Post Theories:

Clarence is controlling & manipulative to Queen

QOW may be an accomplice to Clarence (maybe his sister) who is profiting off of their relationship & the pregnancy I picked up was the child Queen & Clarence have together & that being her meal ticket.

Queen is staying in this relationship because she is afraid of how it will look in the public; she doesn't want to be embarrassed by a man again.

Queen is aware that Clarence may have ulterior motives & may have fallen out of love, but there is still a controlling aspect that is keeping her in this situation.

🗣CLARENCE IS WITH QUEEN FOR THE CLOUT (they'd do anything, remember that)
