Bridgetown, Barbados. The Caribbean Development Bank’s safety net (absent Dr Leon) needs to be flexible and to include country-specific foreign contractor agreements.

Work can be done, money repaid, but it is obvious that the CDB does not trust (and for good reasons) its local clients. Have your say. Naked!!

Pathfinders to Mars (ABC, 1960 - 1961)

"You know, Henderson, the progress of true science depends not only on the cold, calculating types, but also on the adventurers and dreamers. There's a place for all of us under the sun."

"Yes... as long as we don't get too close to it."

Arkhelios Adventures

"Theodosius, thank you for joining us. My name is Alys, and I will be part of your welcoming team for your entrance to Shadowvale Academy. Do you have any questions for me?"

Theo glowered at the woman, who continued to smile politely back at him.

"Can I talk to my boyfriend now? Why are we still in stupid Arkhelios? I want to go back to Pleasantview."

Alys' serene expression never wavered. She gestured to her right and another adult appeared beside her. Unlike this Alys, he didn't look like a demon, though maybe Theo was being presumptive. It's not like he looked like a demon most of the time either.

"My name is Leofric," the man said, smiling a little too enthusiastically. "I'm going to be your therapeutic guidance counselor. If you ever need to talk about your thoughts or feelings, I'm at your service. You can talk to me about anything, and it will stay between us. It's going to be a difficult transition, and sometimes demons can be a little too, uh, expressive when their emotions bottle up. Part of taking control over your abilities means taking control over your emotions too. I'll help you work through your emotional stumbling blocks, so that you can graduate into a responsible, mature hybrid in complete control of himself."

"No, I'm fine," Theo insisted angrily. "I'm going back to Pleasantview."

The teen snapped his fingers to summon a demonic portal, but none appeared. He tried again and again, but with no result.

"We've been entrusted with your true name, child," Alys stated coldly. "You'll find that many of your abilities may be out of your reach until you learn to master them. Coming with us isn't a choice. I'm afraid Pleasantview will have to wait."

"No! It's not fair! I need to talk to Adam! I'm not going!"

Overwhelmed with fear, anger, and despair, Theo found himself bursting into tears. He tried to stop the tears in order to look intimidating, but he couldn't. All he could feel within him was a cyclone of those emotions, blurring out every rational thought.

"Change can be difficult, I know," Leofric said soothingly, putting a reassuring arm around the teen. "What you're feeling is natural, especially now that you've realized that your normal means of escape are no longer possible. This is all part of the process; it's only natural. Why don't we continue this conversation inside so that it can remain private?"

"Where are we?" Theo asked through his tears. "I don't even know this part of Arkhelios."

"Because your parents and elected leader are sheltering you," Alys replied. The tone in her voice dashed Theo's hopes of escaping. Hopefully the rest of his so-called team were nicer than she was. Somehow, he didn't think he'd be that lucky.

"This is the former residence of the Chun family and the current residence of the Chun Undead. It is a part of your journey and where we must begin."

"I don't remember this place," Theo insisted, staring at the walls, hoping something would spark in his mind and trigger a reason why he was being forced to be here. "Those are my parents on the wall, but I've never been here before."

"This is the area where President Bellamy houses the undead," Leofric explained. It's part of a small zoned area for Arkhelios' undead residents to embrace their second chance at life."

"This is the zombie containment area?" Theo gasped. "No one's been here but the president herself! How did you get access here? Aunt Lucy and Grandma petition the government every five years to keep this place sealed. No one is allowed here."

"I think you will find that there are very few places where we don't have access," Alys replied. "We had need of it and it was made available to us. For our purposes, we were also granted the help of the undead. Your president has been very helpful. "

Theo frowned. These weren't the same same kind of teachers the Pleasantview Academy had, and they were well known for their long reach within the country. Wherever he was going, it looked like he would miss the freedom of Pleasantview. Whoever these people were, they were impossibly powerful, both politically and magically.

"Theo! Theo Dorhack."

"Grandpa? Is that you?" Theo stared at the zombie that was creeping toward him. He certainly looked like Theo's father, and was a zombie, so logically that would make this man his Grandpa Ian.

Theo didn't really know what to expect of his grandfather. From his grandmother's rants, Ian had been a worthless, cheating bum who squandered their money with his whore mistress. There may be some truth to that description, but when Theo thought about how she usually spoke about him, he decided to give his grandfather some grace. Nearly everyone was actually better than how his grandmother described them.

"Hey, Grandpa," Theo greeted nervously. "How have you been? It's been awhile, huh?"

Theo vaguely recalled his father mentioning that Theo had met his grandfather when he was younger, but Theo had no memory of it. The zombie seemed to understand what Theo was saying, even if he couldn't respond in complete sentences.

"Sit down, Theodosius," Alys commanded, gesturing to the couch beside her.

Ian seemed to respond to the command, gently pushing his grandson towards the requested seat. Theo grudgingly gave into the command, seeing that he was outnumbered and nearly powerless.

"Now, before we can continue with your admittance, we need to measure the limits of your potential," Alys said. Theo perked up at the thought that he could stall the process, but abandoned all hope when Alys locked her eyes intensely with his. "This is in no way optional. If you refuse to participate willingly, we have your true name already. You will be made to complete the exams."

Theo tried not to show fear, but this woman was a professional. Even when she was merely watching him, flashes of terror flooded Theo, warning him against defying her.

"O-okay," Theo gulped. "What do I need to do?"

"We were hoping to chart your natural state to establish an estimate of your abilities," Leofric answered. "Your file indicates that you displayed a large amount of power in this location as an infant. There is a stain of demonic magic in this house that we were hoping to attribute to you, but from seeing you interact with the space, it looks like it belongs to another demon. Perhaps Dorhack, as this was once his domain. It will be added to our measurements, but we need to dig deeper. You will accompany us at dawn to the secondary location. Until that time, you are permitted to sleep. I'd suggest that you take this opportunity. Testing may be...tiring and the chance to sleep may not come again any time soon."

Theo stretched out on the couch he was sitting on, watching his team members watch him coldly. Falling asleep wouldn't be so bad, especially if it meant escaping this nightmare for a few hours. In his dreams, he could return to Pleasantview like he wanted. In his dreams, he could hold Adam again.

As soon as the sun rose, Theo was rudely awakened when a freezing cup of water was emptied on his head. Alys tried to remain impartial, but Theo swore that there was a devious sparkle in her eye when he woke up sputtering.

"We're leaving. Now."

With sleep still in his eyes, Theo walked through the portal Alys had opened for him. On the other side, he stood in front of a weathered, small house, surrounded by water. Theo recognized the area from his childhood.

"This is still Arkhelios," he stated. "Is this the school? This is down the street from where my dad used to live."

This was much closer to the water than where Roman used to live, but Theo could still see the lights of Arkhelios in the distance. He didn't fully remember the near bunker they had lived in before taking over the Bellamy estate, but he did remember how quiet it was. Very few people came to the island next to Arkhelios due it's size and lack of amenities.

"This, Theo, is where you were born. Your entrance into the world was here, so it stands to reason that this is the best place to connect with the root of your magic. We have your true name and the location and time of your birth. All we need now is to see how your body reacts to our conditions."

"Conditions?" Theo repeated, but Alys was already climbing the stairs that led to the house.

"Stand in the magic circle and reach out your hands," the demon commanded. Leofric lingered near her, writing something in a notebook.

Theo did as he was told and immediately felt a rush of energy. His outstretched arm began to waver with the intensity of it all.

Alys nodded her approval and looked over at Leofric.

"Okay, test one, attempt one. And...go."

She snapped her fingers and immediately, all the rush of energy Theo felt exploded, colliding into him at breakneck speed. Energy flooded his mind, and he could feel the weight of the horns on his head, indicating that he'd shifted into his dark form.

"This feels funny," Theo stated, noticing the energy forming around his hands. He felt the top of his head worriedly. "There's still the extra horns from before. Plus the wings. They're sort of a new thing. Maybe they're part of what's wrong with me?"

"Unlikely." With a snap of her fingers, Theo immediately shifted out of his dark form, hitting the ground as his regular self. The change happened before his body could even register the movement.

"Well, that's what happened the other day with Adam," Theo said, hopeful that the experiment had concluded for the day and that he could go home. "So, since you've got the data, I should probably-"

"Test one, attempt two," Alys replied, snapping her fingers again. Theo swore she looked excited at the opportunity to inflict pain and discomfort on him.

The rush of energy came faster this time, still nearly knocking Theo to his feet. The transformation felt nearly instantaneous. Theo could feel the power coursing through his veins, energy exploding from his fingers. Every second, he felt as though he was about to burst from the amount of energy coursing through him. This was how he felt with Adam. The wild, unyielding power that threatened to destroy him had taken over his body within seconds.

"Now hold that position," Alys commanded. "We're getting a good reading. Okay, now try to summon energy to your hand, just what you did with Apprentice Darktide."

Theo obeyed the order, despite the amount of pain that he felt while doing so. Energy crackled in the air around him. His eyes felt like they were burning in their sockets. The room faded away from his vision, leaving him with nothing but endless darkness. Theo was sinking into darkness as an unnatural light shone within him, destroying his ability to concentrate on what was happening to him. He was going to explode from the magical pressure building inside of him. There was only darkness and pain and fear and....

Theo's mind snapped back to attention the instant it collided with something impossible to ignore. A tiny light in the darkness called to him, offering him shelter from the chaos of his thoughts.

The more Theo reached for the light, the more familiar it became. He could feel an unmistakable warmth unfurl around him, easing the fury of the energy forcing the shift into a dark form.

Adam, I finally found you.

There could be no mistaking the change in the air. Even Ian could sense that something had changed, despite not having the capacity to voice it in words. Theo didn't appear to be struggling nearly as much as he had before.

It was impossible for Theo to fight the urge to stay in his dark form, but he was making an incredible effort resisting it. He was no longer breathing heavily and was able to maneuver his hands together to expel whatever he could of the power burning within him.

"Fascinating," Alys exclaimed, putting away her notes in order to fully observe what she was seeing. "Finally, a reading that makes sense. Leofric, when we get back to the school, please send our gracious sovereign a message. The situation is as she thought it might be. The boy is stable here where he entered the world, while using a secondary source's power."

"That's wonderful," Leofric replied. "He can follow a fairly standardized course of study then. I'll have most of his entrance package ready within an hour of our arrival." He paused for a moment, running different scenarios through his mind. "And the secondary source? Do we need to contact them?"

Alys shook her head, still marveling at the teen in front of her. With every passing second, the boy seemed more calm, more in control of himself. Provided the right elements, this little hybrid was more than capable of growing into the threat the Sovereign envisioned. Once he learned to control his abilities, who knew what he could do, especially when paired with this secondary source?

"Only the Sovereign and Master Maricourt need to be informed," she decided. "They are our employers. The magic that they have said this boy can produce...well, the Ocean never gifts such power to a single person. You remember the stories. How odd to finally see such a thing in person."

Leofric nodded, still unsure of what his opinion on the matter would be.

"I'd be more inclined to believe the boy is the result of blood and contracted magic," he suggested. "This Dorhack and his daughter making contracts with powerful families and performing illegal magic would also explain the boy's abilities."

"No, this has the stink of a deity all over it. Impossible life magic, pairing the boy off to be grounded by another? You're far too young to know this, but our controversial life deity came into being due to circumstances much like this. Maybe this all started with Dorhack, but even he couldn't pull this off."

"I disagree. Blood magic amplified by a broken curse can easily explain this," Leofric replied. "I suppose we'll see when he gets settled in and starts training which one of us is right."

Alys snapped her fingers again, releasing Theo and sending him crashing to the floor, his dark form immediately vanished.

"It's a bet. Take Mr. Bellamy through the portal and get him settled. I'll be along shortly."

She gestured towards a wall, opening a portal that would lead Leofric and his young charge to the school.

"I have a feeling that this will be one of our more memorable students."

OS JOGADORES

Diferente do rugby tradicional, o 𝙧𝙪𝙜𝙗𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙨 é uma modalidade com time reduzido, e que pede mais versatilidade dos jogadores em campo.

HEADCANONS

𝐈. É comum que fãs de rugby adotem músicas populares como canto de estádio durante partidas. Os 𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨, fãs do Long Island Pure Bloods, adotaram If You Want Blood (You Got It) do AC/DC como hino extraoficial do time.

𝐈𝐈. A logo dos Pure Bloods nem sempre foi tão polida: inicialmente, a 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙖 𝙨𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖 surgiu como uma mancha de tinta durante a tentativa falha de customizar o primeiro uniforme, e gostaram tanto do visual que incorporaram o acidente como parte da identidade do time.

𝐈𝐈𝐈. Mesmo durante a abertura da fenda e com a ausência dos deuses, os integrantes do time continuaram a 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙧 𝙚𝙢 𝙨𝙚𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙤: sentiam diferentes níveis de vergonha por se preocupar com a própria diversão em um momento tão delicados, mas sabiam precisar de uma válvula de escape segura para a agressão.

𝐈𝐕. Os jogadores do Pure Bloods tem um rito apelidado pela torcida como 𝘽𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙍𝙞𝙩𝙚: antes de cada partida, os jogadores colocam a mão em um recipiente de tinta laranja, e marcam seus rostos com uma pintura de guerra – três riscos cruzando da testa à bochecha no lado esquerdo, como marcas de garras sangrentas a cortar seus olhos. (inspiração)

𝐕. O mascote do time é o 𝙡𝙤𝙗𝙤, e eles tem uma fantasia fajuta comprada no eBay e que só foi usada uma única vez. Tentam recrutar um pobre desavisado para vesti-la sempre que possível, mas ninguém parece disposto por conta do quão abafada e fedorenta a fantasia é.

𝐕𝐈. Sempre entram em campo com uma formação em V, tal qual uma matilha de lobos faria, e puxam um 𝙪𝙞𝙫𝙤 que é correspondido por sua pequena e ávida torcida.

𝐕𝐈𝐈. A temporada de recrutamento de novos jogadores acontece sempre em Fevereiro, e é conhecida no Acampamento Meio-Sangue como 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙝 𝘽𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙎𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣.

𝐕𝐈𝐈𝐈. Para dar boas-vindas aos novatos no time, todos os jogadores saem do acampamento juntos após a Fresh Blood Season para 𝙙𝙤𝙖𝙧 𝙨𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙚 em um hospital. Não o puderam fazer esse ano devido às restrições no ir e vir de campistas, o que os fez sentir diferentes níveis de indignação contra os deuses.

𝐈𝐗. Os maiores rivais dos Pure Bloods são os 𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙍𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙩𝙨, que alegam que os semideuses gregos roubaram o animal símbolo de Roma e tem como missão não o deixar barato. Os jogadores do clube inimigo costumam os chamar de corujas e imitar o canto da ave para os alfinetar.

𝐗. Como nem todos no time são herdeiros, realizam uma festa uma vez por ano para arrecadar os fundos necessários para ir às competições e investir em equipamentos. Essa festa acontece sempre em Outubro, de maneira clandestina, e é apelidada de 𝙒𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙬𝙤𝙡𝙛 𝙉𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 porque todos os campistas se transformam em lobos por uma noite.

Alguns headcanons do Ian durante o jantar e o ritual para fechar a fenda. @silencehq @hefestotv

A fachada de tranquilidade era tão bem construída que o permitia manter o semblante sereno até mesmo em momentos como aquele. Enquanto Circe falava, os olhos se mantinham fixos nas imagens e Ian descobria — não que em algum momento ele houvesse se esquecido — que todo o ódio que sempre sentiu pelos integrantes do Olimpo podia sim se tornar pior. Claro que tudo havia começado a partir de uma das inúmeras disputas por poder e claro que quem acaba pagando o maior preço não eram os deuses. Comeu em silêncio aquela noite, e assim que pôde, voltou para o quarto. O sono, como de costume, foi breve, e na manhã seguinte estava entre as primeiras pessoas a atravessarem o portal de volta para o Acampamento.

Durante o ritual, Ian parecia calmo, muito mais calmo do que realmente se sentia. O aviso de Circe sobre as mortes era algo bem claro em sua mente, mas optava por se atentar a um detalhe específico: os monstros não eram nada além de ilusões. Durante todo o ritual, manteve os olhos fixos na fenda, movendo-os apenas para observar os filhos da magia entoando os feitiços.

A sucessão de eventos aumentavam sua luta interna entre permanecer onde estava e juntar-se aos demais, no entanto, fosse por conta da benção que possuía ou talvez o grito de seu último resquício de racionalidade, sabia que no momento em que sucumbisse a isso estaria dando mais forças aos monstros e se manteve ali, parado, vendo um após o outro passarem por ele como se ele sequer existisse. Sendo parte da prole de Zeus, parecia até cômico que nenhuma daquelas criaturas tentassem, no mínimo, engoli-lo. 

Por mais que a descrença se mantivesse, não demorou para que se encontrasse no meio da multidão, auxiliando aqueles que haviam caído ou que procuravam um modo de se afastar das criaturas. Como previsto, lâminas se provaram ineficazes, mas ainda assim era possível atingi-los a tempo de parar seus ataques.Fazendo uso de seus poderes, arremessou o que encontrou pela frente para desviar a atenção dos monstros de suas vítimas. Continuava sendo completamente ignorado pelas criaturas, mas ao menos conseguia criar oportunidades para que as pessoas sob ataque fugissem. 

Com o fechamento da fenda, era impossível olhar para os três traidores e não sentir raiva. Foi necessário uma grande quantidade de autocontrole para lembrar-se de que, no fim das contas, eles eram apenas marionetes, que foram utilizados pelos deuses a fim de realizar seus desejos egoístas. Não tinha que sentir raiva, pelo menos não deles. Ao menos era o que ele preferia acreditar naquele momento. 

Assim que a busca pelos campistas iniciou, ficou completamente focado nos nomes que eram chamados e em quais estavam faltando, falando apenas quando ouviu Raynar chamá-lo. Toda a calma que havia mantido até então se esvaiu ao perceber que Melis estava na lista dos desaparecidos. Sem nem pensar direito, se juntou às buscas pelos seis e constantemente vai até a enfermaria com esperança da amiga ter reaparecido.

[ one 🔥 ] além de raiva, uma das coisas que Daphne mais sentiu nesses últimos tempos é frustração. primeiro porque não conseguiu sequer desvendar quem era o traidor, e muito menos supor que eram três, depois porque se sentiu inútil como patrulheira durante o fechamento da fenda, não tendo conseguido matar os 'montros' e por fim, por ter tido o irmão e o amigo caindo na mesma. com tudo isto, treinar tem mais uma vez sido a forma que Daphne tem de descarregar sua raiva e MUSE tem sido seu parceiro nesses dias. inspo song (0/1)

[ two 💢 ] não é a primeira nem a segunda vez que Daphne quebra o nariz, estava treinando com um campista bem maior que ela quando levou com o cotovelo dele bem na cara. por ela, continuava treinando, mas IAN preocupado, quase a arrasta até à enfermaria. inspo song (1/1)

[ three 💕 ] além dos treinos, algo que a ajuda a relaxar são seus livros. normalmente apenas lê romances, e no chalé sempre os esconde de todo o mundo, porém, MARK a encontra lendo sentada nos degraus do coreto de afrodite e não perde a oportunidade de a perturbar sobre isso. inspo song (1/1)

[ four 💤 ] desde a névoa e da visão que teve antes da ida para a ilha de circe que Daphne tem acordado sobressaltada a meio da noite. normalmente tenta apenas voltar a adormecer, mas dessa vez foi impossível, decidindo apanhar um pouco de ar, saiu do chalé e se sentou nas escadas em frente ao mesmo. e, pelos vistos não era a única não conseguindo dormir já que RAYNAR passava por ali àquela hora e decidiu lhe fazer companhia. inspo song (1/1)

[ five 🚬 ] não tinha por hábito fumar, na verdade os cigarros que tinha estavam guardados desde sua última missão, e os havia guardado para quando precisava de clarear a cabeça, e agora parecia o momento certo para os pegar. EVELYN encontra Daphne deitada na areia da praia com música tocando perto de ti e fumando seu cigarro, os dois acabam por o partilhar e ficar conversando sobre o que os assusta sobre o futuro do acampamento. inspo song (1/1)

"Não, eu tô bem não precisa se preocupar..." Ian disse levemente para um semideus que passava por ele. Depois de todo aquele caos com o novo semideus, a última coisa que ele queria era chamar atenção de ter aparecido na enfermaria. Seus poderes estavam se manifestando um pouco mais que o comum, então Ian estava dando pequenas passagens pela enfermaria durante o dia para checar sua pressão e coisas do tipo, então já era comum responder as pessoas que perguntavam. Mas todos tinham outras coisas mais importantes do que ele. Ian se sentava do lado de fora com um cigarro em mãos.

Caribbean Development Bank, Barbados. Top Officials, Hyginus Gene Leon, Gregory N. Hill, Therese Turner-Jones and Ian Durant were sent home, computers seized, locked out of bank business pending investigations. Why?

They were all probably possibly allegedly diverting CDB funds to their private accounts and private assets. Have your say. Naked!!

closed starter to @sonofthelightning local: quarto dos brutamontes

A sugestão de reservarem um dos quartos para os três elementos mais caóticos do acampamento foi um tanto ousada. Por um momento, pensou que Raynar recusaria a proposta e se manteria ranzinza o suficiente para colocar o juízo de volta na cabeça de Aidan e Ian, mas o inesperado aconteceu. Os três estavam sintonizados e partilhariam do mesmo espaço durante três dias. Assim que ouviu os passos pesados de Ray se afastarem no corredor, Aidan sentou na ponta da cama, já ocupada pelas malas que trouxe para passar a estadia. "Você viu o tamanho daquele tobogã?" Indagou o filho de Zeus da cama ao lado, terminando de devorar o chocolate que encontrou na recepção. "Eu vou fazer as armadilhas o quanto antes 'pra poder ficar o dia inteiro internado naquele SPA, ficar no ofurô até a minha pele soltar da minha carne."

About That’s a Wrap!: Something's wrong with Sunny Day Jack FanZine

Hello everyone, SWWSDJ Fanzine Team here!

We’re planning to open the application for this project, but first, we have to introduce what this project is about!

All of this info will be updated; so don’t hesitate to shoot the question for us to satisfy your curiosity!

● Who is organising the zine?

There are 7 of us who are crazy I mean, passionate about Something’s Wrong with Sunny Day Jack. So we figured it would be fun to start another project after the Phantom of the Sunny Day Jack project.

@thisisEClmao, @enthused_ubi, @theyukidragon, @luckyclover_NB, @Alonsy_Nah, @primarvelous, and @kristella_lav going to be on the boat for this project as mods. 

(Sauce is still on the team, but they are on our Guest Artist list!)

This is our first time organising a zine so we’ll try our best to bring out everyone’s sunny-fantastic work!

● What is this zine about?

This Sunny Time Jack Zine is a SFW zine centred around the prompt that Sunny Day Jack, Ian Duff, Shaun Durand-Cofer and Nick “Nicholas” Herraras are actors for Something’s Wrong with Sunny Day Jack. We encourage writers and artists submitting to the zine to imagine what the actors are like when working on an 18+ erotic yandere horror game.

Examples:

Moonpie is not actually blind ._.

Shaun prefers dogs to cats.

Barry is allergic to yoghurt.

We want to let the artist and writers work on what the character(s) are like when the camera is not rolling. Since it's behind the scenes, we can have 2 directions for this zine (so everyone won’t be drawing or writing the same scene):

Get into work mode: The camera is ready, and everyone gets into the working mood: costume changing, script practising, makeup etc.

After the work mode: When the camera is turned off, everyone can be more relaxed after a long day of work, they can hang out together, grab lunch, play games together etc! Things to do to let off some steam.

How one writer/artist interprets the actor's version of a character doesn’t have to affect how another writer/artist interprets the same actor. There’s no set continuity, and we encourage creativity, but let’s not make the actor versions of our favourite characters too different from their game counterparts, shall we?

We want to have at least one piece for every single one of them, which also means the creators will have to fairly decide which one they want to work on.

We are accepting only platonic relationships between characters. No sexual or violent depictions will be permitted at this time. OCs can be included in the art/writing but should not be the main focus of any given work.

● Who are “they” (the characters)?

These characters are from a game called “Something’s Wrong with Sunny Day Jack” which is an R18 psychological horror erotic visual novel game. I highly encourage anyone who is not familiar with it to give the game a try. The demo is out on Itch.io and Steam. This game is only for adults who are above the age of 18. 

It also goes without saying that anyone who is under the age of 18 is not allowed to play the game or join this project.

“Sunny Day” Jack - Your best friend! :D He may be a ghost and a clown but he will never leave your side, especially during hard times.

Shaun Durant-Cofer - Your best bud from college! He is very involved in the film industry and is a well-known cat daddy.

Ian Duff - Your childhood friend and ex. He is an actor and was there with you during the most important moments of your life and is willing to do anything to get you back.

Nick “Nicholas” Herraras - He is an influencer and a dom and has some dark secrets he wants to hide.

● Where will the funds go?

After printing and shipping costs are covered, all proceeds will go to contributors of the zine.

Contributors will be split into two types:

Contributors

The artists and writers who have applied to join the project The contributors will be compensated for their work with a free copy of the zine - both physical and digital copies - and also the entire selection of merch we have available. 2. Major contributors The project organizers; ones who are responsible for making sure everyone's progress goes smoothly, monitoring the project's official social media platforms, putting together the zine into a booklet for printing and appropriate arrangements for any printing and QA if merch were to be made. Major contributors will be getting the same bundle and splitting the extra funds among ourselves as compensation. 3. Guest Artists and Writers The guest artists and writers will be compensated for their work with a free copy of the zine - both physical and digital copies - and also the entire selection of merch we have available.

● Who can participate in the zine?

We are planning to have around 20 Artists and 10 Writers in total. Depending on how many applications and how much interest we receive, we may increase the amount.

We are preparing an application form for artists and writers. Everyone is welcome to apply!

Each artist will create an illustration complete with character(s) and background. Digital and traditional illustrations are both welcome, but traditional illustrations must be scanned at high resolution!

Writers have a minimum word count of 500 with 2000 maximum. (Still deciding on the word limit) The focus should primarily be on the main cast of characters, but secondary characters - including OCs - are allowed to interact with them.

Artists are welcome to collab with writers to draw some scenes out!

● Will there be merchandise too?

Absolutely yes, we would like to offer different bundles with prints, stickers, or a combination of all of these. We’ll keep you updated about this. Artists are also welcome to apply as merch artists!

● What will I get if I contribute to this zine?

A physical copy of the zine will be offered to all contributors (hopefully). Shipping will be covered if funds permit; otherwise, contributors will be responsible for their own costs.

This is why your support and help in spreading the word about this zine are so important!

● What’s your schedule?

We have a very tentative schedule as follows: (Hopefully)

Opening the applications in early June (1st of June to 23rd of June) Closing the applications close by a week before the end of June (23rd of June) List of contributors up by the end of June or early July if we need a bit more time (1st of July) Creation period for both artists and writers from August - September (2 months period) Pre-Orders open in October Zines shipped out by November-December

We are still deciding the exact dates based on a number of factors. By the Closing Date of the Applications, we will share a definitive date!

● How and where can I get in touch with you?

Feel free to contact us on this blog, @SWWSDJfanzine, or through our other accounts: Twitter: @SWWSDJ_fanzine Email: swwsdjfanzine@gmail.com

Pubblicata in occasione dell'esposizione alla Fondazione Emilio e Annabianca Vedova durante la Biennale di Venezia 2013, la monografia illustra in maniera esaustiva la produzione scultorea di Lichtenstein dal 1968 al 1997, anno della sua morte. Dai primi lavori in ceramica alle opere pubbliche di grandi dimensioni, il volume vuole documentare non solo il processo artistico che parte dagli schizzi e dai disegni per approdare ai collage, alle maquette e alle sculture in metallo fino agli interventi su larga scala in contesti urbani, ma intende anche affrontare il lavoro di Lichtenstein sui metodi di fabbricazione e delle tecniche industriali, con importanti informazioni sui laboratori con cui l'artista collaborò nel corso della sua carriera. Il libro vuole presentare una panoramica esaustiva sulle sperimentazioni dell'artista con i metodi di fabbricazione industriale, inframmezzate da interviste e testi su una scultura bidimensionale.
