Soooo Keebercad here! I’m working on making my own banner and tumblr icons(so I’m not using other people’s stuff y’know) at the moment. WL has been rough, can not lie. To sum it all up, I got in a car wreck(I’m fine, everyone else is fine, car wasn’t) uhhh wasn’t my fault technically. We hydroplaned and I wasn’t the one driving. I was in Wisconsin for three weeks which made it hard to calorie count so I mostly just worked out. I think I’m gonna go on a temporary low cal “binge” just so I won’t feel…so groggy? It’s been so hard to get back into the swing of things and I’m only gaining weight. I got down to 213 but I’m at 217 rn, granted I’m on my period, but still. I wanna be 123 by June of next year and 180 by November, so I gotta start cranking in work outs and lowering my cals. Also gotta start drinking a shiz ton more water cause I wanna prevent loose skin and I heard that helps? Tbh I’m hoping making a tumblr post might help me hold myself accountable, y’know? Like, hey! I’m back at it! Gotta get back in the swing of things! So, here’s a little update post for all my readers(I have zero readers, but I might as well act like I’m talking to someone? Y’know?) I think next I’m gonna make a post about my “activity lists”…you’ll understand what I mean when I post it. That’s all for now. 7/21
Farewell, Keebercad

Post 1323
Paul Byron Ferguson, Michigan inmate 784373, born 2002, incarceration intake March 2024 at age 21, scheduled for early release consideration July 2052, scheduled for full release July 2122
Child Abuse
A Michigan man who pleaded guilty in his disabled brother’s starvation death was sentenced in February 2024 to a minimum of 30 years in prison by a judge who said the defendant is “one step away from becoming a psychopath.”
Timothy Ferguson, who had autism and was speech- and motor-impaired, weighed only 69 pounds when he died in July 2022 at the family’s western Michigan home in Norton Shores, authorities said.
The brothers’ mother, Shanda Vander Ark (Michigan inmate 783668) of Norton Shores, was sentenced in January 2024 to life in prison without a chance of parole after a jury convicted her of murder and child abuse in the teen’s death.
Muskegon County Circuit Judge Matthew Kacel said he didn’t believe Paul Ferguson was sorry for the abusive punishments, including ice baths, he and his mother carried out that led to Timothy Ferguson’s death.
“The court believes Mr. Ferguson is one step away from becoming a psychopath like his mother,” Kacel said during the hearing.
Paul Ferguson and Vander Ark punished Timothy Ferguson by feeding him hot sauce, subjecting him to ice baths, depriving him of sleep and locking the refrigerator and food cabinets, prosecutors said. He died from malnourishment and hypothermia.
Muskegon County Chief Trial Prosecutor Matt Roberts said Paul Ferguson represents a threat to the public if he doesn’t get mental health treatment while incarcerated.

The Jily Fandom Rec List 2024 is a compilation of Jily stories our readers want to keep an eye on for this year's awards.
JUNE
Stranger Days, Brighter Nights (WIP, 16.3k as of 30 June 2024) by @minoukwrites. Rated T.
Regulus Black is in love with James Potter. Lily Evans is absolutely not. (In which Lily finds love and Regulus peace. A tale of secret crushes, unspoken yearnings, and quiet betrayals. But at its core, it's the fix-it I've always craved, full of fluff, angst, and all the tropes.)
Falls the Shadow (part 3 of The Darkest Days series) (completed, 95.6k) by @seriousbrat. Rated M.
1977. The Queen's Silver Jubilee. Strikes, riots, violence, and increased political tension. A darkness seems to have descended on Britain, and the Wizarding World is no exception. As Lily, Severus, and the Marauders enter their seventh and final year at Hogwarts, the last rays of fading childhood herald a darker, unforgiving world, in which all face life-altering choices. Sev will stop at nothing to get what he wants, despite what it's already cost him— while Lily and the Marauders find themselves on the precipice of war. Part 3 of a canon compliant story spanning the last three years of Hogwarts up until the end of the First Wizarding War.
in losing grip (WIP, 97.1k as of 30 June 2024) by keep_driving. Rated M.
“I’ll see you again?” She’d asked. “Someday, when we’re older.” “Obviously,” he told her. A promise without any boundaries, without any concrete truth. “Obviously,” she whispered back. Like it was that simple. - For her, summer did not exist before him. Now that it's been gone for so long, she wonders if it ever truly existed at all.
Filipendulous (completed, 30.2k) by @seriouslysam8. Rated M.
An attack on Diagon Alley in July 1980 leaves James Potter cursed and on death’s door.
Querencia (completed, 10k) by @thelighthousestale. Rated T.
que·ren·cia: a sanctuary where you feel safe The time Lily, James, and Harry spent as a family in their little house in the West Country was far too brief, but it was overfilled with love, laughter, and, above all, life. Moments of Lily and James at Godric’s Hollow told in five parts for @mppmaraudergirl's 'Alight With Happiness Fest'.
Rumor Has It (completed, <1k) by @thelighthousestale. Rated G.
Severus doesn't believe the rumors that Lily finally agreed to go out with James Potter.
The Roe Deer And The Knight (completed, 2.1k) by @annabtg. Rated G.
The tale of a magical roe deer and a knight who had to learn humility.
Fixed Luck (completed, 1.3k) by @annabtg. Rated T.
The books warn: excessive intake can cause giddiness, recklessness, and dangerous overconfidence. But good luck is addictive.
THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT (Jily's Version) (oneshot collection, 1k as of 30 June 2024) by @wearingaberetinparis. Rated E.
And so I enter into evidence, My tarnished coat of arms. My muses, acquired like bruises, My talismans and charms. The tick, tick, tick of love bombs, My veins of pitch black ink. All is fair in love and poetry. A Jily TTPD Drabble Collection
The Tooth Fairy (completed, <1k) by @jfleamont. Rated T.
Harry loses his first tooth, so James pulls one of his pranks on his son.
In Love and War (WIP, 338.9k as of 30 June 2024) by Icepen. Rated M.
After a horrible summer before her Seventh Year brings the war to her doorstep, Lily Evans knows one thing for certain-- she will not be safe at Hogwarts anymore. Her position as Head Girl, her new friendship with the Potter heir and the disgraced Black heir, the sudden and tragic murder of her parents all shoves her into a limelight she never wanted. Learning to cope with her grief and her trauma, Lily needs to navigate the treacherous waters of her new situation as the war against people like her escalates in the world she is about to graduate into.
Think I Know Where You Belong (Think I Know It's With Me) (WIP, 80.2k as of 30 June 2024) by @wearingaberetinparis. Rated M.
At thirty-three years old, Lily Evans fears she may not quite have lived up to her potential. Single and living alone – if one does not consider her cat a flatmate, that is – her days are blurs of monotony, most of her students getting more action than she has seen in the past decade. (Hyperbole gratuitously applied.) Insert James Potter – former classmate and unrequited crush – who appears to be on a mission – aside from promoting his fourth novel – to point out all of her flaws, while strutting the hallways of their former secondary, the place she has never left and he will forever haunt now that the board has decided to name the school library in his honour. (F*ck her life.)
Heavier The Crown (WIP, 135.9k as of 30 June 2024) by @sidlarsson. Rated E.
Fifty years after the First Wizarding War, Teddy Lupin stumbles across a secret about the ghost of Lily Evans. The truth will lead him deep into the past—unraveling a friendship marked by rivalry, betrayal, and one falling out of love with the other. “It—is you. I—thought I was dreaming.” His cheek was lifted. He was out of it, possibly from the effects of Dark Magic. “You—" and he seemed to struggle. His breath came in gasps. "I thought you were an angel.” Dark love story set during the First Wizarding War. Features General James Potter, Potions Master Lily Evans, and Death Eater Severus Snape. 1978 - 1982.
Check out the previous months' recs too: January, February, March || April || May
Happy reading!

Another TIM with a history of domestic violence is using the courts to to play victim
By Anna Slatz January 12, 2024
A trans-identified male is suing the City of New York after he was placed in a men’s detention center while awaiting transfer to another state on charges related to domestic violence. Ali Miles, formerly known as Dylan Miles, is demanding over $22,000,000 in compensation for discrimination on the basis of his gender identity.
Miles, who identifies as a Muslim woman, was incarcerated at the George R. Vierno Center on Rikers Island from June to July of 2022. His custody was a holding prior to his transfer to another state, as he had warrants for his arrest in the state of Arizona. He was then transferred to Yavapai County Jail where he was ultimately tried and found guilty of two counts of aggravated harassment per domestic violence, a Class 5 felony, for instances dated in November 2021 and February 2022.
He was also found guilty of disorderly conduct, harassment, threatening or intimidating, and false reporting to a law enforcement agency, which are all Class 1 misdemeanors.
In October of 2022, he was placed on supervised probation for a period of three years and sentenced to 312 days in jail, with credit added for the 132 days he had already been held there. Miles was also subject to a domestic violence assessment.
But Miles is now taking to the court to sue to the City of New York for detaining him with other males while he was awaiting transfer to Arizona. The suit argues that Miles faced discrimination, assault, and human rights violations after being placed with men.
From the lawsuit filed by Miles on August 24, 2023.
While asserting that he “wears women’s clothing and in all appearance expresses as a person of the female gender,” the filing argues that Miles was housed in a male facility at Rikers despite allegedly having a court order directing his placement to the female unit.
The suit reveals that following his arrest, Miles informed a judge that he was transgender, and required special housing accommodations to which a judge reportedly agreed. The court file and orders were then marked to notify the prison and their Intake Personnel that Miles was to be housed in the female section of Rikers, but he was not.
“As Miles approached the inside of the building, Miles realized it was a male jail which caused shock, panic and fright to Miles,” the suit reads, referring to Miles using feminine pronouns. “Miles requested and pleaded … that as an LGBTQIA+ individual who was transgendered, she required and needed an accommodation, and that she should not be placed in a male population jail.”
Miles then alleges that a prison staff member said “we don’t do the trans thing here.” He was then strip-searched by a male guard he alleges told him that he had “nice tits” and “one hell of a pussy.” This is despite Miles not having had any known genital surgeries.
Miles continues that he was routinely harassed, “misgendered” and subjected to humiliation during his detention at the George R. Vierno Center. In particular, Miles emphasizes his “sexual victimization” by multiple “African American male” inmates as a result of his placement in a male facility, one of which he alleges sodomized him using butter as lubricant.
Miles is seeking a minimum of $22,000,000 in compensation for the various mistreatments he claims, arguing that the prison’s “unlawful conduct was a direct result of Rikers’ pervasive practices, and customs of discrimination, deliberate indifference, against transgender people.”
Miles is a prolific litigant, and, as previously reported by Reduxx, has filed a number of suits alleging discrimination by various businesses.
In May of 2023, Miles filed a lawsuit against a New York yoga studio seeking compensation of $5,000,000 after employees reportedly asked him to use the men’s restroom instead of the women’s.
In the suit, Miles alleged that the personnel at Chelsea Yoga “deprived [him] of his civil rights because he is gay, undergoing a gender transition, and because Miles does not conform to … gender-based preferences, expectations, or stereotypes about how a man/woman should dress and conduct himself/herself.”
But shortly after that suit was launched, Reduxx learned that Miles had filed at least four other lawsuits, making similar claims of victimization in each.

In February of 2022, Miles filed a civil action for $75,000 in compensation against Sedona Soul Adventures, an Arizona-based business he had previously worked for. Miles alleged that the tourism company had wrongfully terminated his employment shortly after he was hired after subjecting him to “gender identity-based harassment and discrimination.” The suit was dismissed after an out-of-court agreement was reached.
One month later, Miles filed two separate civil actions — one against Planet Fitness and one against Bagel Point, both, again, on the basis of “gender identity-based harassment and discrimination.” In both, Miles represented himself, and failed to use consistent pronouns, often calling himself “Mr. Miles.”
In his poorly-written civil action, Miles alleged that staff at a Planet Fitness threatened to sound the “lunk alarm” on him for entering the women’s facilities, and used a slur when referring to him. The “lunk alarm” is a fixture seen at most Planet Fitness gyms intended to provide a humorous “warning” to those being too loud or obnoxious in the gym.
Miles demanded compensation of $10,000,000 from Planet Fitness, but the suit was ultimately dismissed after he failed to file the appropriate paperwork and pay $402 in filing fees as requested by the court.
In his action against Bagel Point, a cafe in Brooklyn, Miles sought $75,000 in damages alleging he had been wrongfully terminated and subjected to verbal abuse on the basis of his gender identity.
Miles had been an employee of Bagel Point for a short period of time, during which he claimed the owner, a Muslim woman, had referred to him using slurs and mocked his gender identity, as well as crafting “unsubstantiated” complaints about his performance. The action, which was poorly written and rife with spelling errors, was dismissed by the court once again after Miles failed to file the appropriate paperwork and pay $402 in filing fees.
In yet another suit, Miles sought compensation from New York Presbyterian Hospital, once again claiming to have faced discrimination on the basis of his gender identity. The suit was dismissed and an appeal was not filed.
Though it is unclear when Miles began to identify as a woman, he appears to have converted to Islam around the same time. On his social media pages, he has alluded to learning Arabic and following various Islamic teachings.
While Miles’ past cases were quickly snuffed out of the court system, his most recent suit against the City of New York appears to be proceeding. Having previously represented himself unsuccessfully, Miles has retained an attorney for this suit who has requested the case be referred to the court’s Alternative Dispute Resolution Program (ADR). The ADR is an alternative mediation-style arrangement targeted at speeding up settlement.
On January 10, the lawyers for the City of New York requested a time extension to review the details of the case, with the next hearing being set for February 22.

FABLE'S BYEONGHWI, MINGEUN, AND INTAK SPOTTED AT NEON NIGHTS SHOW — July 27, 2024
Three members of Fable were spotted supporting their labelmates, Neon Nights, at the first show of a series of concerts promoting the band’s fifth anniversary album. An eagle-eyed fan posted a few pictures of the idols, clearly trying to be incognito in masks and hats. They were accompanied by a fourth person, generally assumed to be one of their non-celebrity friends.
In follow-up tweets, the poster of the pictures also noted a few more events of the night, including Mingeun heading backstage after the show and a running count of Intak’s overpriced cocktails—five by the end of the night.
Despite being labelmates for six years, interactions between the two groups have been minimal, usually limited to posting one another’s songs on their Instagram stories, or participating in TikTok challenges together. This Fable appearance marks the first time the two groups have been seen together since February of last year, when Neon Nights released a song featuring Mingeun and Andrew to immense criticism from both their fandoms.

[ +304, -59 ] we could have flying cars by now if people weren’t so obsessed with what mingeun does behind the scenes

It’s.. fascinating in a brand new way (a terribly disappointing way) to see HoYo fumble the bag this fast.
I was contemplating making a post about this a day or 2 ago, mostly about the Natlan explosion, but then Moze’s drip marketing happened… and suffice to say I think there’s a bit more substance for me to comment on 🫠
I’ll start with Natlan and try to articulate the thoughts properly, since both my own thoughts and my intake of others’ views has had a couple days to settle in my mind:
I wanna preface with the fact that I love Hoyoverse. I really, really do (I desperately wanna work for them, actually, lol. It’s a dream of mine). And I think that’s obvious to people who have seen a couple of my posts.
But it’s precisely because I love them so much, hold them in such a high regard, and respect mostly everything about them, that their recent performance has just left me deeply…. Disappointed.
Sheer, RAW disappoinment makes up the bulk of my feelings and attitude towards what they’ve been doing recently: which is not listening to their community where it REALLY matters. I was present when the uproar over Sumeru happened. I was disappointed then too, but at that time I more-so existed as a confused outsider observing what was going on (I am a poc but not SWANA). Everything about it — from the large-scale disrespectful mix of many cultures, to the 💀 TERRIBLE idea to not pronounce Tighnari’s name correctly AT ALL, to the abhorent lack of melanin in characters (that are DIRECTLY inspired by figures hailing from African countries) — was… bad. REALLLYYY bad. But I’ll be honest when I say: the way I rationalized it in my brain was “Well, they did add more dark-skinned characters to the roster! I guess this is just their version of ‘darker skin’ ” (which, by itself is already a terrible thing BECAUSE they take care to try and represent real world cultures faithfully).
So the fact that it’s happened again. And worse (SOMEHOW⁉️⁉️) is something that’s making me realize how lackluster it was before. And I am desperately rooting for a change. Fool me once, shame on me type shit genuinely.
Now.. in regards to Moze (Star Rail)’s EN VA 🫠. Everything I know about that man I learned in the past 24 hours. So all I will say is that EVEN if he’s worked to better himself, having been BLACKLISTED from the industry (BECAUSE THE CRIMES WENT ON FOR A DECADE!! MIND YOU) means it is way too fuckin soon to hire someone like that again 💀. They took action against Tighnari’s original VA, so that they’ve done this now is… weird…??? I’m just really confused, yo.
Edit, as of July 25, 2024: Chris made a post on his twitter claiming he has chosen to step down as the VA. 🫡 Step 1 is a W, congratulations everyone 🎉
#(I’ve spent most of my time on twt. that’s where most of my exposition is from)#boycotthyv#boycott hyv#don’t get me started on the Neuvi change#that was rubbing salt in the wound#‘cause wdym ‘you listened’#I KNOW that you listen to your fans; you usually DO!!#BUT NOT ! ! ! WHERE IT MATTERS NOW?????#I’m mainly making this post to consolidate my feelings in one place#because it’s a shift in viewpoint#I love them and therefore I need them to do better#their games are great. I like them a lot but the colorism is peeling away into racism more and MORE and it needs to stop#HoYoverse#genshin natlan#natlan#genshin#genshin impact#blazingtextpost#hsr#Honkai: Star Rail#Honkai Star Rail#HI3 isn’t safe either#it’s embarassing that some of us (me included) kinda just#swept it under the rug; embarrassed for us to look at or acknowledge ‘oh don’t mind that blemish’#bitch mind it now. fix that shit up WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BE AIMING FOR GREATNESS

. 09 october 2024 . jupiter stations retrograde at 21° Gemini 20′ time to reevaluate our growth since july 14, 2024. has this summer felt like information overload or have you been able to discern what a healthy amount of data intake looks like for you? reflect on what your truth around communicating really is. how do you best learn, process, and express yourself? jupiter, when placed in gemini, was known to ancient astrologers as being “in detriment”; that is, opposite the sign of its domicile, rulership, or home placement. if jupiter is at home in sagittarius, then for jupiter to be on the complete opposite side of the zodiacal wheel indicates being the furthest away possible, completely unequipped with normal functioning. to be in detriment is to be in exile in a way, kicked out of your home and needing to find different avenues from what is comfortable and easy in order to survive. this framework is known as essential dignity and debility and is one way astrologers contemplate and interpret the stars.
under jupiter’s influence of abundance, gemini’s usual mental prowess and quick wittedness evolves into an overzealous mental tumor where over-processing situations and feelings becomes the norm. we don’t hesitate to second guess every possibility. long held beliefs become easily unraveled for the ever fluctuating gemini, nothing more than an endless queue of questions. jupiter in gemini is the embodiment of curiosity killing the cat. jupiter in gemini is represented in the tarot by the eight of swords. the eight of swords shows a woman blindfolded and surrounded by a circle of swords. upon closer inspection, the swords are spread thin and no one is forcing the woman to stay. she needs only to remove her blindfold to leave her current predicament.
the suit of swords reflects an ever thinking mind, mental acuity, and intellect. by viewing the symbols present in this way, we can elucidate the real “swords” keeping the woman trapped are actually her own limiting beliefs, negative self-talk, a tendency to overthink, and in general, self-imposed limitations. the eight of swords (and tarot in general) clarifies a problem while also providing a solution to the difficulties presented—with jupiter in gemini we are being asked to remove the metaphorical blindfold by asking questions about how we actually communicate with others and ourselves. with jupiter stationing retrograde, we are more apt to have the capacity to pause, breathe, and lean inwards for these answers. here are some jupiter retrograde prompts to consider: where is your jupiter placed? how do you like to learn? what are some negative ‘swords’ holding you back right now that might be self-imposed? what would you like to be more curious about over the next few months? what are some ways you can incorporate that topic of interest into your daily life?
if you found this interpretation style intriguing, illuminating, or useful, consider booking a consultation with me at the link in my bio! i practice astrology from a traditional, archetypal lens, while also incorporating modern interpretations and a holistic understanding. i would love to dive into what the stars have to both impress and question about you!

basic potions | aethergarde academy dr program
date: july 31, 2024
assignment type: reading + kahoot quiz
Potions! Very important to have, if you're fucked up in battle, a healing potion would be reealllyy useful, don't you think?
Today, we'll just be going over the basic five potions most adventurers would have on hand at some point.
Do note that these are the most popular and common recipes. There are different recipes for the same objective, so some people like to use other recipes instead.
The higher your rank is, the less likely you'll feel the side effects of common potions. An S-ranked rider wouldn't feel the side effects of any of these potions after awakening, before awakening, you would... but only a little, like a 1/10.
cleric's brew
Literally just a healing potion, but like only for physical injuries. Cleric's brew is the weakest variant of physical healing potions. The strongest brew of this is called 'clerica', since you are like... an S-tier rider... you will be taking clerica onto missions far more than cleric's brew. Surprise surprise, the potion is red (the liquid is clear). It tastes like watermelon jolly ranchers (Is this really unrealistic? yes. but I don't really wanna drink a shitty tasting potion when blood is leaking from every orifice on my body).
side effects: n/a, though stronger brews with this recipe do make the drinker feel drunk
serving size: this recipe makes two servings of cleric's brew, 50 ml per serving, can take 10 servings in a day
how to make cleric's brew:
ingredients:
-3 stalks of wrymroot
-3 crushed maldine seeds
-4 table spoons of hippocampus liver oil
-100 ml of mana infused drinking water (infusing more mana increases the strength of this potion, a C rank rider would be able to make clerica)
procedure:
boil 100 ml of mana infused water in a heat insulating pot, like a classic cauldron
put the 3 maldine seeds and the liver oil into a separate bowl; mix it until the mixture turns red
pour the mixture into the pot and mix until fully combined
put the stalks of wyrmroot into the pot; push the stalks down into the liquid, but don't stir it to prevent the stalks from breaking
place a lid over the pot and let the mixture boil for 1 hr
after an hour, take the pot out of the heat and strain it; make sure no solid ingredients are in the liquid when you pour it into flasks
you're done!
nausine
Did I name a potion for nausea after a nausea medication here? Yes. Did I spell it differently in hopes that people wouldn't know that it is in fact the name of a nausea medication? Perhaps. But here we are... Yeah so I didn't know what to name this so... I mean like nausine fits right? Uh anyways, this potion is murky green and smells like goat shit. It tastes bitter but with a tinge of mint. Nausine is especially used for motion sickness.
side effects: drowsiness
lasts for 1 hour
serving size: this recipe makes three servings of nausine, 30 ml per serving, can only take 6 servings in a day, must space out intake of each serving by an hour
how to make nausine:
ingredients:
-40 ml of ram bile
-20 ml of purified drinking water
-1 cockatrice yolk
-5 yilandrea buds
-3 handfuls of bay leaves
-1 reed of brambleweed
procedure:
boil the ram bile for half an hour; make sure the room is well ventilated + make sure you wear protective clothing such as gloves and goggles
make sure that the bile doesn't contain anymore solid ingredients, including bone and other entities. if the bile you acquired is from a high quality retailer, you can probably skip this step.
set aside the bile, and pour the cockatrice yolk, yilandrea buds, bay leaves, and brambleweed into a motar and crush the ingredients until a paste is formed
put the paste into a pot with the drinking water and stir; boil the mixture for around 15 minutes, place a lid on the pot and leave it for 10 minutes
pour the substance into the bile and stir slowly over heat; keep the mixture over heat for an hour
move the potion into three different flasks, and you're done!
mulkings draught
Often referred to as a 'mulking', mulkings draught strengthens a person's ability to resist mind magic. Of course, this kind of brew isn't foolproof, but it's good enough against low level creatures that utilize mind magic. This potion was named after Tirin Mulkings, who made this recipe. Luckily, this one doesn't taste like straight up ass, instead, it tastes similar to greek yogurt. It smells slightly milky, and the potion is a very light blue, at first glance it appears white.
side effects: slight nausea
lasts for 1 hour
serving size: this recipe makes two servings of mulkings draught, 20 ml per serving, can take 7 servings in a day
how to make mulkings draught:
ingredients:
-30 ml of griffin milk
-a handful of blue caligrass
-4 tablespoons of mollusk eggs
-2 tablespoons of white peas
procedure:
boil the griffin's milk until the liquid releases steam, but not until it bubbles erratically; remember to continually stir the liquid
add the caligrass, mollusk eggs, and white peas
mush the ingredients until the liquid starts to bubble more erratically, then take the mixture off the heat
pour the mixture into a mortar, grind the ingredients carefully to avoid splashing the substance on yourself
once everything's mushed together, transfer the mixture into a clay pot and apply heat to the substance
mix it with a pestle for around 5~ minutes, then take it off the heat and pour the liquid into two flasks
all done!
hastency serum
Hastency serum makes the drinker's movements faster. If you drink two servings of this potion, it'll also increase your precision. Archers use this potion so often that it got the nickname 'archer's brew'. Hastency tastes similar to scotch and feels as if it burns the throat as it's consumed. The clear orange-yellow liquid is stored in a vial. It smells similar to rusty metal.
side effects: ache in knees, fingers, and elbows after effect fades away
lasts for 30 minutes
serving size: this recipe makes 4 servings of hastency serum, 10 ml per serving, can take 5 servings in a day
how to make hastency serum:
ingredients:
-3 oscaaret talons
-1 sailfish dorsal fish
-2 basset griffin claws
-2 owl eyes (any breed works)
-5 grams of molten rock
-a handful of fleetfoot hare hair (lmao)
-40 ml of wyvern spit
procedure:
make sure the wyvern spit doesn't have any large foreign objects in it
boil the spit overnight in a clay pot, make sure a lid is placed on the pot
before the spit is ready, grind the dorsal fin until it's breaks apart into chunky bits
in the morning, make sure the spit is really runny. If the spit is thicker than before, let it cool for a day and boil the spit again. If the spit is runny, place the talons, claws, dorsal fin, hair, and rocks into the pot
stir for 15 minutes slowly, then let it boil for 10 minutes
as the mixture boils, take the owl eyes and cut them over a small bowl; pour the liquid from the eyes into the pot and stir it until the liquid turns orange
once it turns orange stir it for another ~3 minutes and let it cool overnight
strain the potion, make sure no hair is present in the strained liquid
transfer it into 4 vials, and you're done!
ardor serum
Often simply called 'ardor', this potion helps replenishes a person's energy. Similar to hastency serum, this potion is stored in a vial. While it's useful, it's not the healthiest potion for the body. Taking too many in a short span of time can result in permanent mind fog, constant need to move (lots of fidgeting), fatigue, and insomnia. The liquid is chartreuse and murky. It smells like smoky dog sweat, and it tastes like candles and stale corn chips.
side effects: n/a
lasts for 30 minutes
serving size: this recipe makes 4 servings of ardor serum, 10 ml per serving, can take 2 servings in a week
how to make ardor serum:
ingredients:
-4 powdered pangolin scales
-4 teaspoons of taperoak sap
-3 highland wynmergier feathers
-5 sprouting sylican seeds
-1 handful of sickleweeds
-40 ml of sundew
procedure:
mix the sap into the sundew, do not place it over fire yet. Leave this mixture by a window that faces the sun the most for day
the next day, start boiling the mixture. Place the powdered scales into the pot and stir it until the powder's been well combined with the dew
place the seeds upright at the bottom of the pot; leave the pot on low heat for 6 hours
if the sprouts have turned white, cut up the sickleweeds and put them in the pot. Make sure you push them down to the bottom where the seeds are, but make sure they're not resting above the sprout.
burn the feathers over the liquid, then place the remnants into the pot. Don't stir, put a lid over the mixture and leave it overnight. The pot should still be over low heat
in the morning, stir everything together and strain it, make sure all large objects have been removed from the liquid
transfer the strained mixture into four vials, and you're done!

A man who served time for domestic violence wants to wedge himself into a community where the women would not want to be alone with him for religious reasons.
By Anna Slatz June 25, 2024
The City of New York has agreed to pay out a $350,000 settlement to a man who identifies as a Muslim woman for keeping him in the men’s section of Rikers Island while he was awaiting trial on domestic violence charges. Ali Miles, formerly known as Dylan Miles, had initially demanded over $22,000,000 in compensation.
As previously reported by Reduxx, Miles was incarcerated at the George R. Vierno Center on Rikers Island from June to July of 2022. He had been arrested on a warrant out of Arizona.
Following his brief detention on Rikers Island, he was transferred back to Arizona and placed in Yavapai County Jail. He was ultimately tried and found guilty of two counts of aggravated harassment per domestic violence, a Class 5 felony, for instances dated in November 2021 and February 2022.
He was also found guilty of disorderly conduct, harassment, threatening or intimidating, and false reporting to a law enforcement agency, which are all Class 1 misdemeanors.
Dylan Miles.
In October of 2022, he was placed on supervised probation for a period of three years and sentenced to 312 days in jail, with credit added for the 132 days he had already been held there. Miles was also subject to a domestic violence assessment.
But in August of 2023, Miles filed a lawsuit against the City of New York, seeking damages related to “gender identity discrimination” for having been detained in the men’s section of Rikers Island. The suit argued that Miles had informed the court that he was transgender and required special detention accommodations.
The judge had reportedly agreed, and orders were then marked to notify the prison and Intake Personnel that Miles was to be housed at the female-only Rose M. Singer facility on Riskers Island, but he was not.
Miles claimed that he suffered discrimination, including being subjected to “transphobic” remarks from prison staff, while incarcerated in the men’s facility. He also claimed to have been the victim of sexual assaults, in particular emphasizing his “sexual victimization” by multiple “African American male” inmates.
Miles alleged that a prison staff member said “we don’t do the trans thing here” after he demanded to be moved to the women’s section. He was then strip-searched by a male guard he alleged told him that he had “nice tits” and “one hell of a pussy.” This is despite Miles not having had any known genital surgeries.
While the City of New York rejected and refuted Miles’ claims, on June 21, they offered to settle the case for $350,000.
The settlement agreement stipulated that they were not admitting guilt in the situation, and that Miles would no longer be able to take legal action against them for this matter in the future.
Miles is a prolific litigant, and, as previously reported by Reduxx, has filed a number of suits alleging discrimination by various businesses.
In May of 2023, Miles filed a lawsuit against a New York yoga studio seeking compensation of $5,000,000 after employees reportedly asked him to use the men’s restroom instead of the women’s.
In the suit, Miles alleged that the personnel at Chelsea Yoga “deprived [him] of his civil rights because he is gay, undergoing a gender transition, and because Miles does not conform to … gender-based preferences, expectations, or stereotypes about how a man/woman should dress and conduct himself/herself.”
But shortly after that suit was launched, Reduxx learned that Miles had filed at least four other lawsuits, making similar claims of transphobic victimization in each.
In February of 2022, Miles filed a civil action for $75,000 in compensation against Sedona Soul Adventures, an Arizona-based business he had previously worked for. Miles alleged that the tourism company had wrongfully terminated his employment shortly after he was hired after subjecting him to “gender identity-based harassment and discrimination.” The suit was dismissed after an out-of-court agreement was reached.
One month later, Miles filed two separate civil actions — one against Planet Fitness and one against Bagel Point, both, again, on the basis of “gender identity-based harassment and discrimination.” In both, Miles represented himself, and failed to use consistent pronouns, often calling himself “Mr. Miles.”
In his poorly-written civil action, Miles alleged that staff at a Planet Fitness threatened to sound the “lunk alarm” on him for entering the women’s facilities, and used a slur when referring to him. The “lunk alarm” is a fixture seen at most Planet Fitness gyms intended to provide a humorous “warning” to those being too loud or obnoxious in the gym.
Miles demanded compensation of $10,000,000 from Planet Fitness, but the suit was ultimately dismissed after he failed to file the appropriate paperwork and pay $402 in filing fees as requested by the court.
In his action against Bagel Point, a cafe in Brooklyn, Miles sought $75,000 in damages alleging he had been wrongfully terminated and subjected to verbal abuse on the basis of his gender identity.
Miles had been an employee of Bagel Point for a short period of time, during which he claimed the owner, a Muslim woman, had referred to him using slurs and mocked his gender identity, as well as crafting “unsubstantiated” complaints about his performance. The action, which was rife with spelling errors, was dismissed by the court once again after Miles failed to file the appropriate paperwork and pay $402 in filing fees.
In yet another suit, Miles sought compensation from New York Presbyterian Hospital, once again claiming to have faced discrimination on the basis of his gender identity. The suit was dismissed and an appeal was not filed.
#usa#new york city#Rikes Island#Trams Identified Abusive Male#Ali Miles is Dylan Miles#False reporting to law enforcement is a class 1 misdemeanor#So he was the abuser then tried to lie to the pigs to try to pull a DARVO?#Rose M.
