[chocohybrid]

Soo australia has its own Wasteland Weekend now called Pox Eclipse and THIS GUY (me) went and had an absolute blast

The fit

some hat details i love this thing im so proud

i had such a good time, talked to so many cool people, traded and bartered so many things, and im 100% going back next year

[defilerwyrm]

Best I could do with my phone and shaking hands

There was twilight in every direction on the horizon

The chickens went back to their coop and the fish went to the bottom of the pool during the totality

For a moment I felt connected to my ancestors from 50 thousand years ago and more, exclaiming in wonderment as the sky turned dark and night frogs sang in the middle of the afternoon

Despite Celestia's orders to quarantine and stay away, Luna has been up close and in the deepest parts of a pony's mind. She knows she severing the mind from the body causes both to die, so if her sister wont take action against those who are sick - she will. If the pony of the light wants to fiddle endlessly with a cure, then the pony of the night will take care of the darker parts without remorse. Its not like these pony's aren't scared of her anyways, she was only recently released from being banished from the moon.

I see a lot of Elden Ring players on here and elsewhere who feel mad or cheated or robbed that the DLC had nothing to do with Godwyn. And in one hand, yeah I get that, this DLC was so Miquella-focused you’d think we might get something about him, fair, but I think if we did get a Lord-Brother Godwyn and Miquella boss fight like so many people are saying they wanted, well. I think I would feel robbed.

The entire point of Godwyn is that he’s dead. He’s undead. He is One that lives in death. He has become the god of undeath. You cannot bring him back, many thousands have tried, including Miquella by way of some sort of Eclipse ritual (which I personally hope might be expanded upon in a future DLC.) Getting too close to him leads to nothing but blight and decay and death.

Anyways I personally think having Godwyn just show up randomly at the gate of divinity in some sort of twin princes fight would have been so much more out of left field for me. The relationship between Godwyn and Miquella and Melania is talked about in Lore sure, but the Haligtree and Redmanes having such an intimate and storied rivalry, as well as Melania and Radahn themselves, leaves the revelation that Miquella has been waiting for Radahn’s death to reincarnate him and force him to carry out his promise of consortship one way or another is somehow more interesting to me than “oh Miquella finally found a way to bring back Godwyn here at the gate of divinity teehee”.

The entire point of Godwyn is that he is undead. He is the prince of death. He became a pox on the Lands Between, and a tumor on the roots of the Erdtree, unable to be reborn, cursed to live in death. To undo that so simply would be to irreversibly change so much of the game beyond recognition.

Pox ☣️

"My newest assistant has a lot of potential in the field.

He spoke of his homeland, and how he missed his family. He had learnt a lot about necromancy from his mother, who nurtured his abilities as a mere hatchling; she believed that while he could not aid his father like he wanted, he could help others.. and yet he also claimed that he had been exiled from many a clan for bringing disease and leaving tragedy in his wake.

I cannot verify these accusations myself, I am far too busy tending to my business. However, I believe Pox could be of great use to Crescent- he has foretold of outbreaks weeks, months, even years from now. I have no reasonable grounds to believe him at all, but it is evident that he can prove his worth with plague-specific medicinal knowledge that few here know of, and a strong drive to boot.

Sandstorm has been scouting the clan's border, and has mentioned that we cannot venture into the Scarred Wasteland, for most creatures not native to the area look worryingly gaunt and may be of risk to the clan if they come any closer for refuge. Perhaps there is more to Pox's words after all.

Must ask Skoll to keep an eye on him while I am away from the parlor."

MotoGP mutterings: life ‘inside the goldfish bowl’

by Mat Oxley, November 2005

It’s not easy being Valentino Rossi. Imagine: you’re trying to get on with your day-to-day job of being the world’s greatest-ever motorcycle racer and you’ve got Ferrari’s F1 bosses all over you like an expensive Italian suit and the Italian media all over you like a bad case of the pox. (And not only that, between races you’ve got to work out how to blow your annual earnings of 15 million quid.)

Rossi’s life has been out of control for years, hounded wherever he goes by a pack of media sharks, but since the Ferrari F1 rumours shifted into top gear, his life in “the goldfish bowl” (as he calls it) has gone from uncomfortable to intolerable. The bike racer who courted fame like no other and whose stardom has eclipsed all others now finds himself embroiled in a guerrilla war with several Italian journalists whom he’s banned from his media conferences for writing stuff he doesn’t like. This is dangerous territory, so is everyone’s favourite bike racer commencing his descent into paranoid megalomania or Jacko-style meltdown?

Rossi has always insisted that he understands the nature of the Faustian pact he’s made with fame and fortune. But if he’s getting upset by what he reads in the papers, he’s obviously forgotten what it means. (And if he thinks he’s got a media witch hunt on his ass he should have a chat with the great Pete Doherty.) To remind him, the Faustian deal for 21st century celebrities goes something like this: you become unimaginably rich from a new kind of global fame which beams you into hundred of millions of homes around the world, day after day, week after week. You are a product with perhaps half a billion customers who all own a little piece of you, whether they’ve bought your T-shirt, drank the beer promoted during a MotoGP ad break or smoked the cigarettes advertised on the side of your motorcycle. It’s not pretty but that’s why you’re so filthy rich. If you don’t like it, there’s a really easy way out of this particular hell hole.

Apparently Rossi fell out with those Italian journalists because they’d written stuff about his private life – revealing details of his night-time shenanigans, questioning his status as a bona fide Italian tax exile, calling his family a bunch of gypsies and so on. Not nice, but that’s the nature of 21st century media, it’s a beast, as another Italian superstar knows all too well: “When a journalist write about the positive, he write five lines,” says opera legend Pavarotti. “When he write about the negative he become a poet.”

If Rossi is to maintain his sanity he’s got to stop reading the papers, whatever they’re saying about him, he’s got to ignore the media bullshit and get on with his life. And if the media give him a hard time for shagging girls, getting drunk or whatever, fuck ‘em. He is a motorcycle racer, after all, and that’s what racers are meant to do – live fast and loose. As someone once said of Rossi’s idol, Hollywood rebel and half-tasty dirt racer Steve McQueen: “Steve loved anything with wheels or tits, probably in that order,”. No reason why Valentino should be any different...

And from now on it seems that either two wheels or four will do for Rossi. Years back he hated F1 because he reckoned it was all about money but more recently he’s been seduced, either by the Ferrari gold or by the challenge of becoming only the second man in history after gentleman John Surtees to win world titles in both bikes and cars. Either way, he’s welcome to it. F1 is a stinking world of repugnant decadence and ostentation, full of money-grabbing, tax-dodging ego-maniacs and obsessive-compulsives with small penises. (I know this for a fact because I used to go out with a girl who once shagged one of F1’s more famous bosses, who failed to impress her despite having popped a Viagra after dinner. Charming, I know, but you get my drift.)

And as for the now relentlessly asked question – will Rossi be able to rule in F1 – two observations: one, who cares, it’s cars not bikes, two, of course he will win. Even former bike racer Damon Hill managed to win the F1 world title, and, hell, I used to beat Daisy (as he was called in the rough, tough club racing paddocks of the early Eighties) when we raced Yamaha LCs around Snetterton. So it really can’t be that hard, can it?

Is that  GAEL DIMITRI BORGIN stepping out into Diagon Alley? Ministry records tell us that they were born on  DECEMBER 22ND, 1953 and are a  26 year old,  PUREBLOOD  who works as a  ACQUIRER AND SELLER OF DARK MAGICAL ARTIFACTS.  Some have said that they can be described as being  SECRETLY KIND, IMMENSELY INTELLIGENT & DEVILISHLY CHARMING,  however, they also see themselves as being PROFOUNDLY SAD, DEEPLY PESSIMISTIC & INCREDIBLY STUBBORN.  Apparently,  HE  look(s) a lot like  NICHOLAS GALITZINE,  whoever that is, and if they had to pick a side in the war, they would choose to JOIN THE DEATH EATERS.

TRIGGER WARNING BELOW THE CUT: DEATH OF A PARENT/LOVED ONE, PRESSURES FROM A PARENT, EMOTIONAL NEGLECT IMPLIED, DIFFICULT BIRTH MENTIONED

name: gael dimitri borgin

age: 26

gender: cisman

hogwarts house: ravenclaw

affiliation: neutral death eater

sexuality: heterosexual

gael dimitri borgin is born on a cold winters day. his mother is in agony, the baby is breached and in a difficult position; it nearly kills them both before gael is born. since this day, his first day that had almost been his last, his mother keeps such a close watch on him that gael sometimes swears that her gaze is a physical presence even when she's not in the room.

the two are incredibly close; as if they share the same thoughts, the same feelings. they are spitting images of one another, a mother and a son that share the same features and, seemingly, the same hearts. his mother teaches him many things - including a treasured love for storytelling, astronomy, art, and music. the warmth that he feels in her presence is only ever eclipsed when in the presence of his father.

the two of them were betrothed - a loveless marriage of politics formed by her own parents and his. she hadn't even known him previously before marrying him, she'd seen him maybe once or twice before the ceremony. he is a cool man with an equally domineering and intimidating presence. he is not kind, or at least, gael never sees any kindness from him. he is also not exactly evil either - just bordering on disinterested in his wife and her son.

when gael turns fourteen, life turns on its axis; his mother dies suddenly of dragon pox. the illness, contagious, wards him in his bedroom and he never gets to say goodbye. this is still a haunt for him to this day. after this, his father takes him under his wing but it is not like his mother; his father is cruel, disappointed in him - has always been disappointed. he is still disinterested in gael but looks at him like gael might someday make him happy enough to call him a son. gael tries hard to be the man that his father wishes he always was, but... the infectiousness of his mothers warm heart never leaves in, only flourishing in the dark.

at hogwarts, he is the perfect ravenclaw student, intent on focusing on his studies, of making someone of himself. he gets particularly good with recognizing dark magic, with letting it slowly reveal itself to his waiting fingers. he gets good at recognizing objects, reads about the darker forms of magic that he can get his hands on, never straying too far outside the light but longs to have a respect for all forms of magic. he thinks about trying to find a fit somewhere outside of hogwarts, but there is a part of him that has always wanted to be a teacher of astronomy ever since his mother used to teach him tales of constellations; this is a fever dream, his father would never allow it. there is one thing that has always been more important to gael's father than gael himself; the family reputation.

[kindheart525]

Celestia had prepared for this day for her entire lifetime thus far. After years of rigorous study and practice in which she had shown such great promise, now was the time to put her skills to the ultimate test. For if she passed, she was to be admitted into the most prestigious magic academy in the city. ‘Twas a small school, so few students passed the test. The stakes were higher than ever.

“Remember, my daughter, I shall take great pride in thee no matter the result,” her father assured her as they approached the building where she would be tested. “Do not be so wracked with nerves. Do thy best. I have the utmost confidence thou shalt excel.”

“Dost thou truly believe so, Daddy?” Celestia asked nervously.

“Verily, from the bottom of mine own heart. Art thou ready?”

“I suppose I am.”

*****

Luna’s deep loneliness had grown into deep resentment as the days went by and she seldom saw her father. She had grown weary of the same excuses he gave for his absence; she would no longer accept them. Tonight—if he came home at all—she was going to tell him how much of a fool he was. She would not hold back this time.

She heard the door open. He was home, once again later than promised. Now was her opportunity.

Midnight Mist sauntered into the house, letting off a foul stench that smelled something of whisky and the juice of some harlot’s nothings. It made her angry.

“Thou wretched cox-comb!” Luna snapped. “Once again thou art late! Where hath thou been?”

“‘Tis not thy business!” He slurred. “Why such concern?”

“Thou cannot be pitchkettled, thou knowest what thou hath done! As thou frolic about and show off thy codpiece to lowly wenches, I am left utterly abandoned! Dost thou care?”

Her father only shook his head and chuckled at this, making Luna’s frustration only grow.

*****

Celestia was more focused than ever. Before her lay two seeds, each of a different tree. Her task was not only to grow them to maturity but to intertwine them into one. While her father had taught her to do this with smaller flora, she had never accomplished a feat to this magnitude. She would need all the good fortune in the world to do it.

She closed her eyes and concentrated, hoping for a miracle to pass...

*****

“Thou consider me inferior to thy bedswerver lifestyle? Thou art saying thou wouldst rather swive with strumpets than cherish thy daughter?” Luna pled with her father, becoming more and more emotional with each word.

“I shall not stand such accusations!” He spat back. “Silence, for I did not raise a shrew!”

Luna gasped at this cruel name, her rage finally boiling over.

“Thou utter bastard! A pox be upon thee! By my troth, I declare—!”

*****

At the climax of Celestia’s magic, Luna’s rage...history was made. A mysterious surge of magic surged through the two fillies miles apart, one they had only imagined from old mares’ tales. At that moment, the sun rose high in the sky and so did the moon, creating an eclipse that blacked out the sky. The fillies, the sun and moon, the eclipse...it was all connected, yet they could not explain why. ‘Twas a moment that could hardly be described in words.

When the surge subsided, the fillies found new symbols emblazoned on their flanks; Celestia, a sun, and Luna, a moon in the night sky. They had not a clue what had just happened, but something was calling to them. They would soon find out.

Monday, September 9th, 2024.

Have you ever had the chicken pox? Yes, but I was too young to remember the experience.

How often do you do laundry? Something like 2-3 times per week.

Have you ever been evicted? No.

Would you grow your own garden? I have in the past. I was too busy (or at least honest with myself and my priorities) to bother with it last year. However, depending on what my life looks like next spring, I might consider growing some tomatoes.

Do you know anyone who snores? My dad.

What is your favorite font? I'm not sure… I'm struggling to choose between fonts that look nice and fonts that are easy on the eyes (probably a symptom of getting older because I used to love teeny tiny little fonts; the kind you needed an electron microscope to see).

Do you know what a wombat is? Yeah.

Would you make a good movie critic? Naw. I'm just not that insightful or analytical. I also don't feel like I have enough experience or background with films to make an informed critique. My thoughts typically boil down to whether I personally liked it or not and have little to do with any broader context, etc.

What goal are you aiming for this year? I want to find a comfortable work/life balance, and I want to learn how to be more effective in terms of setting boundaries, managing my time, etc.

Are you currently reading any books at the moment? A Short History Of The World by H. G. Wells. I needed something I could read during my lunch breaks at the shelter, and that's what I ended up grabbing.

When I say ‘foxy lady’ what comes to mind? Mostly just this new kitten who came in from ISO the other day - her name is Foxy and her sister's name is Tofu.

Would you have liked to have lived during the Victorian times? Naw mate.

Would you own a Siamese cat? We have in the past - four of them, in fact.

Do you like deviled eggs? Yeah.

What tends to upset you? Many things, but lately it's been when genuinely kind and decent people speak up about negative shit and are made to feel as though they are the problem.

What’s the farthest you’ve walked? Something like 13-14 miles.

What is your favorite horror movie? I don't have a favorite atm. In the past (I know it's really basic, but) probably the Saw films. I think I've seen all but the most recent one.

What does your favorite shirt look like? I don't have a favorite shirt.

Is your life like a daily routine? Yeah. I wouldn't say it's entirely dictated by routine, but it's heavily influenced by it.

Were you ever told as a child if you eat carrots you’ll have pretty eyes? I was told that they were good for my eyesight.

What career are you most interested in? It's not really a "career," but a kennel tech at the animal shelter.

Have you ever seen a rooster? Yeah. Most likely at the State Fair.

What time do you usually wake up? 5:30am-5:45am. Well, that's when I get up on most days. I often wake up about 30-60 minutes prior to that.

What made you feel most accomplished in your life so far? Getting this far in terms of recovery/mental illness. Volunteering at the animal shelter. Learning to drive again. Getting back into art and actually sticking with it.

Have you ever seen a lunar eclipse? Yeah.

What are you allergic to? I supposedly have a "sensitivity" to gluten (not celiac), but aside from that, nothing that I know of.

Do you ever feel like people hold things you do or say against you? Only certain people. I hold things they say and do against them in return, though, so…fair is fair…?

What can’t you afford but wish you could? Home repair/renovations. My own apartment (or idealistically - a cabin in the mountains). A trip to Japan.

What is your favorite Daft Punk song? I don't have one.

Do you know anything about Watts? Watts who…? Or are you just talking about the unit of measurement…? Lol I had to look this up, but the watt is named after James Watt; except that doesn't answer the "Watts" question. The only "Watts" I can think of is Alan Watts.

How many miles are on your car? Approximately 65,600.

What is your favorite scent to smell around this time of year? Autumnal spices, baked goods, rain, smoke from nearby fireplaces…

How many lamps are in your room? There are two salt lamps if those count. No regular lamps, though.

Do you own a flare gun? I don't.

What is one thing you usually have in common with some people? Just some people? We're just hangin' in there, just tryin' to get by, just tryin' to have a good time.

What is your favorite number? 19 has this strange significance in my life.

What is your favorite type of museum? Lol I really want to go to a Bigfoot museum.

Have you ever been inside the Statue of Liberty? No.

Ever felt like you were being held hostage? Not exactly. But stuck somewhere against my will? Yes.

What is your favorite candy bar? As a chocolate candy fiend, that's tough. I'm honestly not that picky, but anything with cookie wafers, nuts, caramel…

What is your favorite book you’ve read this year? Dune or House Of Suns. I think I read them both within the last year anyway.

If you had children or do would you tell them the truth about Santa Claus? I don't plan on having children. I can only speak from my own experience to say that I loved the whole Santa Claus thing.

What color are your slippers? Dark blue, maroon, and gray/white.

Inspector: perhaps your right Ni, I could just let Joe and Kickaroo have a place of they're own as for Red he can stay with Snipper and Pox Icy is staying with me same for Marie, Eclipse, Snow, Hazel, Dawn and Chestnut after all they're Sagittarius friends but also our mare's

Trying the inflation H2O:

This is... New..

Don't worry it's water

[herbie851]

I think one of the most devastating things we learned this week about Suppalo is that they sent a child to inform another child that his parent had died. I’ll say that again, they had Kan (in 9th grade he would be 13/14) go inform Thua (who would be around the same age) that his father died. I literally gasped when they revealed that. I know it is laughable to think any sort of counselor works at their school but there was no adult that could do it?!?

Aaaaand then I think about the adults at that school and maybe it was for the best. At least he got comfort. They probably would have told him to walk it off or something. 🙄🤬

[dr-whoopsie-daisy]

Today was my first day of optometry school 5 years ago. 🥲 August 21st, 2017

There was a solar eclipse that day. By the end of the week, we were closed for a record breaking hurricane.

January brought a freeze that close us again.

Second year brought academic trials of Competency and White Coat Ceremony and entering patient care for the first time. (Completely normal lmao)

Third year brought a new dean, rapid restructuring, mass leaving of the good professors. Boards studying. A water main broke and cut off all water to half the city. Clinic was cancelled. Then the plague. Shut downs. Boards cancelled 1 day before testing began.

Fourth Year brought Summer zoom class. The Dean and admin lying. I accidentally helped organize the students against them. Re-entering patient care in covid protocol 5 months later. Taking Part 1 and Part 2 four months apart. Returning to school for the first time in 9 months. Giant February freeze that nearly wiped out the entire electrical grid for the state. Breaking into the clinic to practice for Part 3 without running water. Taking Part 3. Graduation.

Then retaking Part 3. Getting a job. Now Plague 2: electric boogaloo Monkey Pox.

This all with 40-50 hours of class each week (until shut down) with assignments and studying. Test week and finals having anywhere from 7-10 exams in each stretch. Boards 1&2 were 8 hour long exams. Going to on-line learning immediately. Graduation ceremony limited to 3 guests each. Making friends and colleagues I can rely on to help answer any weird eye questions.

I got a little off track, but it's been a wild and unpredictable ride.

[iamvegorott]

Whenever Constellations and Eclipse get demon pox, Night goes complete mama bird. He’ll get them food, keep nice and comfy is some nest (it’s made of blankets and towels he straight stole from Host) he sort of made next to the Host’s bed (Host has tried to take it down, but something in Night’s DNA prefers it over a bed, and the twins are that way too, so he leaves it).

Host tries to get home and help Night take care of them as well as make sure Night doesn’t get it either. He sometimes has to remove Night from cuddling and sleeping in the nest with the twins.

Host does not need Night being sick as well XD
