Noah Maxwell fictive from TribeTwelve looking for anyone from EverymanHybrid or TribeTwelve who remembers me. Please don't interact if you are The Observer. I'm mainly looking for Evan or Habit as I was in a very complicated romantic relationship with the two of them. Most of my memories involve the EMH crew but I also remember some of the videos from TribeTwelve. Firebrand and I were the same person too but that's too complicated to explain here.

The body is 19 so please be 18+ in age if you choose to interact so we can contact you! We don't mind those who kin from the sources interacting either! /g

Noah Maxwell fictive from TribeTwelve who's looking for the EverymanHybrid crew but more so specifically Evan and HABIT (not looking for the Observer for personal reasons). I don't remember much except for the fact I was in a romantic relationship of sorts with Evan (thought it was later Habit but I think it was both of them?) which started shortly after I joined the crew. I was also tired all the time too. The relationship with HABIT began while filming the video Severance. It was mostly like an "enemies to lovers" sort of thing with them if that makes sense. My memories of the others is vague but there's still something. If this sounds familiar, feel free to interact with this post so I can get in contact. Keep in mind that the body is 19 so please be 18+ in age.

Kin Maxwell. List top five pizza toppings in order. What kind of keychain(s) you have? How do you treat strangers, people you like and people you dislike? Do you enjoy hugs?

"Okay! Pepperoni is number one for sure! It's the most common but the best. Next would be onion. Specifically white onion. I can't stand red onion on my pizza. And yes, onion is a weird top pick but my go-to pizza is pepperoni and onion. After that in third is sausage. Four would be artichoke hearts. There's an Italian place close to where I live that puts those on pizza and it is to die for! And lastly spinach. The same place that does the artichoke hearts does the best method with their spinach. They will put the spinach on top of the pizza sauce and then put the cheese on and whatever other toppings you want. It's so good!"

She picked up her keys, a whole melody of jingles sounding from everything she had on them. "I have a best friend chain. Syd has the match to it. A pocket knife cause you can never be too safe. This little wooden fox I found on one of my travels. A bisexual flag chain. Gotta rep, you know. Oh and speaking of repping, I got a No Way Out keychain too. This here is a mini Calcifer plushie. Howl's Moving Castle is one of my favorite Ghibli movies. And this pin on the lanyard says SSDD. Same Shit, Different Day. It's from a King movie, Dreamcathers."

Kin shrugged. "I'm used to meeting strangers all the time. Fans coming up to me all the time and wanting pictures or autographs. I try to be as nice as I can, but if I truly can't stay or chat, I tell them no in a respectful way. If you're a trusted friend, you're basically like family to me. However, if I don't like you, I've been known to be very bitchy towards them."

She opened her arms wide. "I love hugs!"

Jesus wasn't Palestinian you dumb heretic. Palestine didn't exist yet. The Palestinian people didn't exist yet. Read the fucking bible. Dumbass

(what anon's responding to)

This is going to sound sarcastic but i mean it genuinely: i love getting called a heretic by randos online. helps me know i'm doing some things right!

In honor of Jesus the Palestinian Jew, here's an excerpt from a sermon (which you can read / listen to in full over here) I wrote back in June on how Jesus's direct identification with those the world calls "least" in Matthew 25 empowers (and challenges) us to envision him as literally one with all who are denigrated, disenfranchised, executed by Empire — as Palestinians are today.

...In proclaiming himself not only kin with the world’s outcasts, but literally one with each and every one of them, Jesus empowers us to imagine him in ever newer, ever more expansive ways. He empowered Black theologian James Cone to declare that Christ is Black, and that every time a Black person is lynched, Christ is re-crucified with them. He empowered disability theologian Nancy Eiesland to declare that God is disabled – to envision the throne of God as a wheelchair, and to point out how the wounds with which Christ rose would have impaired his movement. He empowered gay artist Maxwell Lawton to paint Christ with AIDS lesions, and photographer Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin to depict Christ’s resurrection wounds as transgender top surgery scars. Though some have decried all these images of Christ as blasphemous, it was Jesus himself who told us that he is one with those whom the world denies food, safety, medical care, freedom, and love...

btw if anyone has other examples of theologians declaring Christ a member of a marginalized group it's my fave thing so please add on. Another great one is S. Yesu Suresh' declaration that Christ is Dalit (the "untouchable" class in India).

[honey-minded-hivemind]

Okay, so, my original platonic yandere ocs' world/story is set in the land of Gaea, a world that is full of humans and the dragons. There are many kinds of dragons, as numerous as there are types of dinosaurs from our world, or birds, or fish. Dragons are ancient beings, some older than the first human to breathe, some older than even that. There are different forms of them, but all ruled by a leader of each kind, a lord or lady or regional monarch, then all of dragonkind under the rule of the Greatest of Dragons, They-Of-The-Rising-Sun, Born-From-The-Mother-Star, Elder-Kin, Caelistis... They are the largest, the oldest, and the first dragon, born of the tear of the Mother Goddess/Deity, Lux. From them comes every other dragon and dragon species, of which there are many.

There are the Wyverns, large and intimidating, with no arms, instead, wings, and having two feet. Their tails are thick, to help them balance, and end with sharp tips, some shaped like spades, others triangles, sometimes even diamonds or discs or clubs... They usually breathe fire or smoke, and tend to be in darker shades of the natural world, such as green of the forests or browns of the rocks, even the autumn reds and yellows of the clays or the blacks of the obsidian rock...

There are the Quetzals, snake-like and cunning, with only feathered wings and a long, coiling tail. They can spew venom or a poisonous mist, are covered partially or all the way in feathers, and their scales are softer than other dragon species. Their scales tend to be bright green, orange, or yellow, with feathers in all the various colors of the world...

There are the Wyrms, lithe and agile, with four thin wings and many legs and pincer-like jaws. They have hard, chitin-like scales, eyes that come in threes, fives, or eights, and sometimes with stingers on their tails or for claws. Their scales range from sunny golds and scarlet reds to acid greens and oily blacks, with some species even having dusky indigos or soft tangerines mixed in...

There are the Hydrans, smart and quick-witted, with two or four legs, no wings, and a serpentine body. They have antlers, soft manes of fur, and live near water. Their scales are like jewels, in ruby reds and and amber gold and spinel pink and jade green...

There are the Serpens, strong and stubborn, with four legs and two wings. They can breathe fire or ice or mist, have sharp claws and fangs, and can see in the dark. Their scales tend to be dark, in shades of midnight blue or twilight purple or dusky green or inky black, sometimes in bark browns or cloudy grays...

There are many, many other species and subspecies and hybrids and the like, but these are the main dragons known to mankind...

Some of the ocs include:

Scott Maxwell, a.k.a. platonic yandere older brother-like figure, a strong athletic sort who is also a leader, and who looks out for his friends (is a descendant or son of a Wyvern, was born as a human, is a dragon, and is 17 years old in human years, only a hatchling in dragon years)

Rose Dogwood, a.k.a. platonic yandere best friend/sister-like figure, a smart girl with pale hair who stands up for others and tries to learn what she can about her friends and dragons and magic (is a descendant or daughter of a Quetzal, was born as a human, is 16 years old in human years, only a hatchling in dragon years)

Michael Kiertz, a.k.a. platonic yandere best friend/brother-like figure, a funny boy who cracks jokes and likes trying new things, as well as being there for his friends to cheer them up or watch their backs (is a descendant or son of a Wyrm, is 16 years old in human years, only a hatchling in dragon years)

Manami Maris, a.k.a. platonic yandere older sister-like figure, who likes swimming and finding new places and wildlife, and who respects nature and feels the instinct to keep her hatchmates safe (is a descendant or daughter of a Hydran, is 17 years old, is only a hatchling in dragon years)

Caelistis, a.k.a. Great-Great-Great-Many-Greats-Grandparent/Parent/Caretaker of All Dragons, who would rather adopt the teens than silence them or destroy them, does not care much for humans, has watched too much destruction amd savagery happen because of them...

James Lowett/Unguis, a.k.a. an adult dragon who helps the teens out, but secretly wants them to lose amd be brought to the home of the dragons, is a bit gruff and sly, but has a good heart...

Vespidae, a.k.a. insect dragon queen/lady/ruler who wants to put the teens into her hive's hatchery/nursery, and would happily hypnotize them to turn against humans...

The four teens + Reader-insert/main character have to try and save the dragons while also stopping them from wiping out the humans... They have lots of adventuring and peace-makinh to do, and not a lot of time before The Great Migration, when dragons gather in the hundreds of thousands to meet with Caelistis, for a reason unknown to man, but which the teens hope to discover so to help them stop them from ending the humans and changing the world to how they see fit...

This is what I have for now. Woo. Took me awhile. But yeep. Dragons be upon ye!

The Golden Son

You call our kind a scattered, dying herd. A flock of rabid, raving sheep, hunted for meat and sport. So, to our mass of flesh, feasting on itself – to you – I present: our Saviour. A ram-headed, snarling guard dog; a righteous shepherd; a rightful heir, bringing to us a future he cannot see.

He may not claim us, but at his heels is a greener pasture, fertilised with blue blood and golden bone, in a culling of his own. Shouldn’t we be glad that one so set in fratricide is blind to half his kin?

And yet, you still ask me why I foster a burning candle. No, a candle burns only itself; it is not a wick that I keep ablaze... It is a fuse.

Claimed not by birth-blood, but birthright-

My forged, golden offspring. My king. My Maxwell.

Kin (Maxwell). Are you a planner or more of a go with whatever happens when it comes to travel?

"It depends on why I'm traveling. If it's for pleasure, I like to go with the flow and just have fun with some minimal planning of trying certain places and things. However, if I'm traveling with the band for a music shoot or a tour, that tends to be more planned in general. On tour we are go-go-go. Finish in one location and then on the bus headed to the next venue. We do get some down time here and there but the majority of it is very structured."

[scotianostra]

25th January marks the annual celebration of Burns Night - a time to celebrate Scotland's favourite son, and world renowned poet and song writer Robert Burns who was born on this day 1759.

I have covered Oor Rabbie on may occasions so on this day I hope to bring you a few facts about Scotland's National Bard and his legacy.

Known as somewhat of a ladies man, Burns is known to have fathered 12 or 13 children, depending on the source, to 4 different women. His last born child, Maxwell, was born on the same day as his funeral 25 July 1796, meaning his wife Jean Armour missed his send off.

As a lad growing up in Ayrshire, Burns was always fond of supernatural stories, most of which were told to him by an old widow who helped out on his father's farm. These stories no doubt had an influence on his writings in the future and perhaps were the inspiration for his classic masterpiece, Tam O'Shanter and the lesser known Adress to the Deil and Halloween. Even in these poems he flattered the fairer sex with his words, this from the latter poem.....

The lasses feat, an' cleanly neat, Mair braw than when they're fine; Their faces blythe, fu' sweetly kythe, Hearts leal, an' warm, an' kin':

Of course Burns also gives another of his favourite subjects a mention in this verse, "the deil himsel," Look it up it's another guid yin!

Burns didn't always want to stay in Scotland - he hoped to move to the Caribbean island of Jamaica. Although following the success of his poetry collection 'Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect' (or the Kilmarnock Edition as it is known), he opted to move closer to home, settling in Edinburgh for a time.

For all his fame, Burns never forgot his humble roots. His love for farming stayed with him throughout his life and his writing often dealt with issues affecting the poorer classes, notably highlighting the need for greater social equality. Indeed he is known as the Ploughman Poet, a nod to his farming life.

And on his legacy, Burns has gathered some very famous fans since his passing, US president Abraham Lincoln could recite Burns’ works by heart. Bob Dylan says that ‘A Red, Red Rose’ by Burns is his source of greatest creative inspiration and Michael Jackson song Thriller is said to have been inspired by Tam O'Shanter.

In Japan at pedestrian crossing you don't get beeps like here in Scotland, they play a rendition of the Burns song ‘Coming Through The Rye’.

There are more statues in honour of Rabbie than any other male figure in history, only surpassed in total by Queen Victoria. (I am not including religious statues).

In 2005 Robert Burns was the first person ever to feature on a bottle of Coca Cola, about a million were made they currently trade for around £10 and I have one, unopened in my kitchen cupboard.

Arguably Burns most famous song, Auld Lang Syne, has appeared in over 170 Hollywood films including The Apartment, It’s A Wonderful Life and When Harry Met Sally. , but he only rewrote the verse, he sent the poem to the Scots Musical Museum in 1788 indicating that it was an ancient song but that he'd been the first to record it on paper. The phrase 'auld lang syne' roughly translates as 'for old times' sake', and the song is all about preserving old friendships and looking back over the events of the year.

In the US city of Atlanta, there is a life-size imitation of Burns’ first home in Alloway, South Ayrshire, although it doesn't have the famous thatched roof.

In Scotland, there are some 20 official Burns memorials dotted around the country, from Aberdeen to the final resting place of Burns in Dumfries, which commemorate his journey from Ayrshire to “Auld Lang Syne”.

‘My Heart’s in the Highlands’ was translated and adopted as the marching song of the Chinese resistance fighter in the Second World War.

In 2009 STV viewers voted Robert Burns ‘The Great Scot’, beating the likes of William Wallace, Robert the Bruce among others.

There are Burns Clubs scattered across the globe, but the very first one, known as The Mother's Club, was founded in Greenock in 1801. They held the very first Burns Supper on what they thought was his birthday, January 29th 1802, only to discover that his birthday was actually January 25th!

Since then Burns suppers have been held worldwide.

I know some of you out there will toil to understand some of Burns's poetry, don't fear you will find the Best of Robert Burns, translated into the "de'il's tongue" just Click here...

The song Ae Fond Kiss, was one of my mums favourites the words "Never met-or never parted, We had ne'er been broken-hearted" are inscribed on her grave......"

[space-spring]

This is unrelated to anything but I was thinking about it earlier and I do love the idea that Avlora and Hughette would end up being really weird sort-of-friends at the end of the golden route. Like. coworkers who regularly get into shouting matches but also write in each other as their medieval version of an emergency contact next of kin because the person they're both actually the closest to is royalty and what are they going to do? CALL their SOVEREIGN whenever they get into trouble?

Most people would still generally hold the belief that they shouldn't be left in a room alone together (which is fair given the aforementioned shouting matches) but also if/when Maxwell eventually steps down as Master of Arms, Hughette would likely take his place, and it kinda makes sense to appoint Avlora as her second-in-command given that she's the princess's main guard and also just a really experienced military officer. Everybody's like ?????!?!?!? didn't you want to kill her like a month ago and Hughette just goes "no see I still want to kill her. but since I can't do that I might as well get her to plan guard rotations for me." Avlora is aware of this but also is 100% cool with it and is honestly kind of touched by the amount of trust Hughette's put in her.

I also like to think that Hughette would at some also point request that Roland give Avlora the honorary title of general again purely because she can't stand calling Avlora by only her first name. Avlora, again, is aware of this but cool with it because yeah okay honestly it's a little weird for her too.
