H+L moments in 2022

I’ve seen these recaps before so I thought I’d make one with my favorite moments of 2022 since it was such a special year for them (and for us too):

1) I’m gonna start with probably my favorite moment (and this was just the beginning of everything) Louis wears the same blue and green shirt for his shows in Houston and Seattle (aka HS) 28 days apart of each other:

2) Louis pointing nonstop to a Larry sign during his show in Washington (here's the moment in different angles x, x, x):

3) Louis, during his Pittsburgh concert on Valentine's day, wears pants with a butterfly logo on them - a butterfly that was inspired by the movie Papillon, the same movie which inspired Harry’s butterfly tattoo:

4) Louis, on his Reykjavik show, wears a shirt that's written Maison - home in french - on the same day Harry announces his new album, Harry's House:

5) Ok, maybe this is my favorite moment. Harry, during his first concert of 2022, sings You're Still the One while wearing a rainbow jumpsuit (knowing exactly what this song means to us after singing it in 2018 and fonding way too hard while looking up at the VIP box):

6) Harry doodles an "H" and a subtle-ish “L” on his shoes while stunting in Italy:

7) The peace ring makes a comeback in May and then for a few days in September (worth mentioning that the first appearance in September was on the 7th, the exact same day the ring made a comeback in 2021:)

May 19th:

Sep 7th 2021 and Sep 7th 2022:

8) Louis and Harry being in Italy at the same time and Louis pretending he is not aware of it:

9) Harry dresses up as Danny Zuko (making him look a lot like Louis) aka a character from Grease aka one of Louis' favorite movie aka a character Louis played when he was young (a play so important to him that he still has the jacket he wore in it):

10) which leads me to this moment, because while wearing a Danny Zuko costume, Harry sang Hopelessly Devoted to You, a song that speaks for itself but that later on, Louis said was his favorite song from Grease:

11) After years of Harry telling us he's the little spoon, Louis finally confirmed that he is in fact the big spoon:

12) so many songs and lyrics from Harry's House and Faith in the Future (big, big, big, biiiiiig shout out to Keep Driving, Daylight, Written All Over Face and Lucky Again)

hmmmmm

interesting that my post on the cross-stitch subreddit about supporting the Etsy strike was removed... by a mod who is a very successful Etsy seller who is NOT participating in the strikes at all

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

(cross stitch peeps, i am tagging it as such in case anyone has insights, but please don't reblog, i really don't want drama. please do reblog the other posts you see about etsy strikes tho, and if you can think of some way to make it ~relevant~ for the subreddit, please do lmk and i'll try again)

idk im just like. our hobby seems so innocuous and harmless in every possible way but nothing exists in a sociopolitical vacuum and it's disingenuous to pretend that isn't the case. things that affect our small business owners are important to the entire community.

everything everywhere all at once said "you'll push your kids to their breaking point for what you think is their own good but all you'll achieve is to push them away from you" and "no matter how hard you try to encircle them in traditional values and concepts you understand, they'll still pull away from you" and "the only way to move past this is for both of you to truly listen to each other" and that is so very, very sexy of them

so an Observation TM I made recently is that in Western love poetry/devotional works/etc, the beloved or the divine tends to be referred to as a shining light or a feeling of warmth or something along those lines, whereas in the (albeit limited amount of) Indian art I'm familiar with, the beloved/divine is a gentle breeze or a cooling shade

I think this is a really good example of fundamental cultural differences that are baked in so deep that you'd never even notice them - I didn't until I was out with my family in one morning, already 25 degrees C at 9am, and saw a tree to stand under, and something in my brain went Ah

ok so i know im very very late to the party but i can't stop thinking about isabela's line: 'he told me that my power would grow like the grapes that thrive on the vine', specifically the word 'grapes'. was this bruno's word or isabela's, chosen simply to sensibly rhyme 'vine' with 'mine' or with a deeper meaning?

remember, all we see isabela create until what else can i do? is flowers. beautiful, sure, but probably not useful for all that much beyond being decorative, whereas grapes are a food, can be used to make wine, and are considered to have minor healing properties (i'm referring to the idea of bringing sick people grapes to make them feel better or at least refreshed). so they're far more practically useful than just flowers, with aspects of hedonism (wine) and healing (perhaps a shout-out to isabela being julieta's daughter, though i acknowledge that that link is tenuous at best).

so is this actually bruno suggesting/isabela wishing for a role for her that's more than the perfect, decorative flower-growing golden child role that she gets pushed into? the 'something true' that she describes in what else can i do? a representation of something more meaningful and three-dimensional than just growing pretty, ephemeral flowers? what else can i do? does feature only flowering plants, it's true, but they're far more diverse than the traditionally elegant and pretty flowers she grows before that, (and she does grow strangling figs in what else can i do?) and it's not a great stretch to imagine that she continues exploring her powers to see if she can grow fruit, grains, herbs/medicinal plants, timber, etc etc, as well

small brain: dick grayson is bad at cooking

big brain: jason get fussy about cooking so dick pretends to be bad at it to rile him up cause jasons scowl is so cute

huge brain: dick now associates cooking w Jason so rarely cooks with others after his baby brothers death because its hard for him to cook alone let alone with someone else

massive brain: dick associated cooking with his mother and father and his family at halys circus so he avoided it but learnt to love it again through cooking with Jason

ginormous brain: damian enlists him to help cook some dishes Damian misses and damian helps dick get over cooking with out Jason and it become their thing

im runing out of size measurements for brains: Damian figures out why dick has complicated feeling to do with cooking and makes jason join them, and now all three do it together as brothers

this work is inspired by @finalgirljasontodd​ ‘s amazing fic household autopsy , more specifically the line:

“And as they curl up against Gotham’s sodden ribs, she realises he’s as familiar with this way of living as she is. They both know how to pick at a city’s carcass”

please read the whole fic its amazing!!

under the cut is the progress and some ramblings and other pieces also inspired by the fic

[unknowncallers-world]

About a year ago, I wrote things about my ex that weren’t true. I was just so fucking numb I didn’t know what tf was going on. About a year ago, she was with Alyssa. And Alyssa dmed me telling me I was treating Taylor like shit and I was saying things I shouldn’t be saying. At the time I was hanging out with Shannen and I told Alyssa I was taken, which she didn’t believe. I mean I wasn’t taken. I lied. I lied about everything because I felt like everyone was better off without me but at the same time I didn’t want to feel like I did anything wrong. I was such a shit person. I still can’t believe who I was a year ago. Last year I started my med school rotations. I was happy with Taylor. Then something changed and I just became depressed and I refused to admit I needed help. We broke up. Of course that wasn’t all my fault. But the rest of it was. I couldn’t give Taylor space. I fucking wrote her a love poem. I fucking stalked her on twitter and tumblr. I would type her name in on Snapchat and ig to see if she unblocked me. Everything was a fucking mess. I was a fucking mess. I was so depressed. Not even the gym could help. I was eating like shit and too depressed to workout because I couldn’t stand to be in my own head. But then I got help. I got meds. And I worked on myself. I got better. I tried to heal. But once that started, I realized all of the ducking mistakes I made were it’s Taylor. I saw how shit and wrong I was and all I wanted was her back. Then randomly in November, i was checking like I always did to see if I was still blocked and I wasn’t. I remember writing on here that I wouldn’t reach out to her after everything that happened in hopes she was still reading this and would reach out. That same night I was dreaming about her and tbh I love dreaming about her because it’s like the only connection I have left. But that night it was like 1am. She followed me and dmed me. I thought maybe this was our chance. The next day or maybe a couple days later she asked what I was doing. She randomly called me and we talked for a few hours. Right after that I had therapy and I knew I still loved her. I wanted to tell her so bad. So i did and she didn’t say anything. I tried so hard not to care. But eventually I just pretended like nothing happened. We started dming more everyday. We started being friends on switch and playing Minecraft together and we would talk on the phone. Then over thanksgiving she went to Arizona where I’m assuming she met her current girlfriend. I told her I loved her again. She didn’t say anything. About a week later she wrote me back. I still have that screenshot to this day, 8 months later. It was during the World Cup and all I said was that it was ok. She said she rooted for Messi for me and I said thanks. Then she started posting about Jackie more. One of the hardest things I did was to unfollow her. Eventually I went back to Illinois and I had a rough few weeks. I felt shitty. But eventually I started making new friends and going out more. I became happy. I met J who ended up being my girlfriend. I mean I asked her to be my girlfriend. I told her I loved her first. She visited me in Philly. I’m visiting her in Chicago in a few weeks. We talk about living together and all I can think is why do I feel more brave now to be with my girlfriend than I did with Taylor. Of course it was because taylor was my first girlfriend well my first relationship and I didn’t know what to do. But lemme say I haven’t gone one fucking day without thinking about her. We matched and talked on Snapchat in December 2020. I remember seeing her stories when she was in Greece randomly. I remember always liking when she would check out my story. Then when we matched again September 2021 and started talking again, i was in shock about how it was turning out. We don’t follow each other on ig but not a day goes by where I don’t randomly type in her name. Not a day goes by where I don’t miss her. Not a day goes by where I low key hope they break up because I want her back. That won’t change. It will never change.

A Day Like Any Other

Yuuji → Megumi | Sukuna → Megumi

🥛📚

1507 words Itadori Yuuji, Ryomen Sukuna, Fushiguro Megumi SFW

Summary: Until Episode 16

Hello, guys! Missed me? Long time no fic, huh? Well, let me fix this. Although it’s from another fandom yet again, I still hope you’ll like it.😗

Anyways, as the summary says, this doesn’t include manga spoilers, but as I am getting spoiler-ed over on twttr and the net in general, I think I have stepped on some minor(?) things. So, yes, that’s it for foreword. I really hope you’ll N’joy this little something-something.🤗

Three months.

That’s how long it took for Itadori Yuuji’s cosmotheory to turn upside down.

In this short span of time, Yuuji had learnt that monsters are real. They get born from the negative feelings of humanity and hungrily prey and feed off of peoples’ fear, shame, hate, regret…

… blood.

They bring mayhem into the human lives in order to cause enough pain to illicit such emotions, so they can sustain themselves and grow stronger. With each passing day they remain unresolved, they become more dangerous and harder to deal with. Eventually, these voracious spirits — curses as they’re called — will evolve into these walking, talking, intelligent forms of existence that can take more than just the life of a human being.

These curses, savagely devour the very soul of their victim.

But Yuuji has also learnt, that there’s a secret society that has taken upon fighting these nightmarish things. It’s just a handful of humans with abilities that far exceed what once he considered common sense; the jujutsu sorcerers.

These people are just like any other. They laugh, they cry, they resent.

They however, put their lives on the line with every battle they fight, so that the rest of the world will be safe. 

They all do it without expecting anything in return or knowing whether they will be able to get back alive and are forced to silently suffer the losses of their friends in this ever waging war.

Yuuji, admires that kind of resolve.

But as long as it goes through his hand, he will never allow a curse to take anyone from him.

That said, in that same time, he’s gotten painfully aware of some things about himself he’d never admit would rather not have known…

For one, he’s still terribly weak. He’s nowhere near as strong as he considered himself to be when facing these abominations.

Then, comes the fact that he’s actually sane enough to be scared of dying, something he hadn’t been expecting to be of much effect on him since he had made his mind about taking responsibility for helping with Sukuna’s containment. 

And finally, there’s his shame over being unable to flatly adhere by his ideals, after having already been forced to cross red lines he’d promised himself would never cross.

And that all, circles back to his weakness.

In the end, he’s helplessly mortal…

Only human.

Yuuji has made these mental workouts several times throughout the past two months, and he’s always left feeling unsatisfied with his progress after reflecting on each breakthrough coupled with a new throwback.

Yuuji furrows his brows and squeezes his closed eyes until it’s nothing but complete blackness. 

‘It’s irritating.’

When will he finally be able to protect everyone with his own strength?

Thank you to @bookish-bogwitch, @ivelovedhimthroughworse, @larkral, @palimpsessed, @faacethefacts-dead, @moodandmist, @whogaveyoupermission, @ionlydrinkhotwater, @basiltonbutliketheherb, @hushed-chorus, @nightimedreamersghost, @fatalfangirl @tea-brigade, @stardustasincocaine, and @artsyunderstudy for the tags today and Wednesday.

I managed to catch up with my work enough tonight to actually post something! I've not written a ton, just a few sentences a night. But here's some short bits. Ok, not really very short bits😆 :

Under the cut for length

From next year's COTTA contender, Baz POV:

Bunce sniffles hard, and swipes her arm across her eyes before nodding. “He was my best friend,” she says, her voice thick with more potential tears. “Or is, I suppose. It’s not like we had a friend breakup. But he moved away, a bit over two years ago. And he never called, or wrote.” She swipes at her eyes again. 

My heart aches for her. Whoever or whatever this boy is, he has a lot to answer for when I see him next. Who does that to a friend?

From my 2021 COTTA , Westward Son (help 😭), Shepard POV:

“What do you know of the trail ahead?” Baz asks. I can tell he’s striving to sound casual, like this news isn’t everything to us. We’ve lost time battling the demons, and the gruesome fate of the Donner party is constantly in our minds. 

The mustachioed Captain shakes his head solemnly. “It’s late for you to be heading west, I won’t lie to you, son. You’re looking at over two hundred miles just to get to the Blue Mountains, and then the crossing…” He shakes his head again. “You’ve got nigh unto 800 miles to Willamette valley and it’s nearly September. You’d probably be better off wintering here and trying again in the spring.”

I watch as my friends exchange glances. Then Baz (he’s apparently been designated the de facto leader of our little group. Henri’s English isn’t great, and Simon’s speaking isn’t good at the best of times) asks, “What of supplies? Are there supplies enough to support our group through to April?”

The Captain’s grim look answers for him.

From Raising Dragons, Chapter 8, Simon POV:

I’m nervous now, though. Things have gone well…but I’m not sure how he’d prefer to end the night. He and I are back home now, watching an old episode of The Great British Baking Show and I’m watching him while pretending not to watch him. There’s a particular thing he often does while watching telly, and I need him to do it so that I’ll have an excuse to suggest our next activity. 

So far, he’s just looking sleepy and content. Maybe I overdid it with taking him for Italian for dinner? Pasta does always make him sleepy. (And that old idea that vampires are repelled by garlic is bollocks; Baz inhales the stuff). 

But there! Baz stretches his neck and rolls it a bit from side to side; his tiny little tell that his muscles are stiff. He may be immune to germs, but he suffers as much as any human from sore muscles, and I kept him on the go all day today. 

“Sore?” I ask, striving to sound casual.

“Mmmhmm,” Baz hums. 

“Want a neck rub?” I offer, without looking up from the telly, so he’ll think that this isn’t at all premeditated. 

Baz turns to give me an unreadable look. I don’t look back. I pretend to be engrossed in watching Mary Berry eat yet more cake. 

“That’d be nice,” he says slowly. I nod, trying for nonchalance, and gesture for him to sit in front of me, between my spread legs. He complies.

And, SFW, but a hint at sexy times to come, from my Carry On Reverse Bang fic, Playing with Fire, Treading Thin Ice, here's some Simon fretting:

I’m eying the bed with a sense of unease. I’ve been wanting to have sex with Baz for weeks, and I think I pushed for an overnight getaway to psyche myself up for it. 

So, object achieved. Now if only I can keep my spark reined in long enough to consummate (heh) my goal…

The problem is, my spark seems as obsessed with Baz as I am. I’ve dated before, boys and girls, and it stayed firmly inside my skin the whole time. But all Baz has to do is touch me and it’s surging towards him like the tide. 

It's late, but I'll tag a few folks for Sunday:

@angelsfalling16, @bazzybelle, @carryonsimoncarryonbaz, @cutestkilla, @dragoneggos, @erzbethluna, @fight-surrender, @foolofabookwyrm-activated, @giishu, @ileadacharmedlife, @johnwgrey, @krisrix, @prettylightsbigcity, @raenestee, @urban-sith, @whatevertheweather, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe

OK so my guys in TMNT and artists in the fandom you need to hear this.

There is a person called @hamsterandturtlesoup and @hamstermastersamster

Who is 40 something year-old.

They pretend they're younger and post a TMNT fanfic comic. On it's own I think that's not a big deal. Like maybe they're a super autistic dude right needing a outlet? But the plot thickens.

So the deal is I joined tumblr last year and through the Rise TMNT fandom I came to follow this hamsterandturtlesoup (HATS). In like a week after following I got an ANON message saying to avoid them because they're not whom I think they are. Curious yes? Someone has there eye on HATS and is warning people off following. Why?

I guessed this was spam. I ignored it until September 2021 when I got way too curious after school restarted. Yeh I were bored....

So.... I read the anon message yesterday and it got weird. That's where I read that HATS is middle aged. But it's worse. There's a load of screen caps and reddit history to put together, but I got reading and here's the plot:

The TLDR deal is they (HATS) went loopy in covid 2020 and had a psychological stress meltdown. They took out there angst on a friend of 20 years who was in hospital during covid (not clear if it was from covid). HATS axed the person from there life because HATS didn't like being inviting to online socials (during covid). Like what a crime lol. I don't understand if the friend was still in hospital at the time but it is weird to go mental at a friend when they're fresh out from major surgery....just because HATS was upset about a discord server the friend invited them to. I read the screen caps and you got to assume that HATS is mentally ill or deeply autistic because they really go all out on there bud's ass for inviting them to an online party.

No big deal you think? Personal domestic. But it gets weirder.

The person that HATS axed was a good artist that drew loads and was good friends to HATS for many years. They swapped art on deviantart for like 15 years. And the guy was pretty busted up over this weird behaviour by HATS so they posted for help in dealing with it. They're thinking HATS was needing mental help. The reply from reddit was to reach out to HATS to see if they were in mental crisis.

But by Jan 2021 that friend died after another big surgery and didn't get to speak to HATS again over the lost friendship.

This choked me up big after I looked at the art they made. Knowing they had surgery they made beautiful art in honor of Qinni but then died soon after themselves. It's kind of like they knew they were going to die....

So what happened next with HATS?

@hamsterandturtlesoup didn't care and didn't go to the funeral and acted like nothing happened. Twenty year friendship. RIP. Didn't react. On there deviant they even deleted the friend's name. That's damn savage af.

You might think they grieved privately?

I doubt. They then blocked everyone who ever asked about it. If you ask them they block you. Seriously try to ask them and you will get blocked!

Like no one knows the real reason these friends broke up. Is there a real reason? If the reason really is because of an online invite then I think HATS is not normal. I would never axe a friend over a discord chat. A twenty year friend is family.

Then HATS deletes everything online except the TMNT obsession. That's all they do. TMNT stuff on tumblr and deviantart (like who uses that anymore except millenials?).

Are they a predator?

It doesn't sound much when you break it down, but I read so many screen caps and stuff from so many different people on this. I had a session with two people who both confirmed HATS was middle aged and in a kind of denial about the death. It was mega dark reading how they behaved. Combined with HATS sadistic TMNT fic, they come off as really sinister.

I'm guessing HATS freaked out over more then just being invited to voice channels. Like why didn't they want to talk to other people online? I'm thinking because they wanted to hide there age or gender and predatory behavior. I think the dead friend had some sort of dirt on HATS that HATS wanted to stay hidden. Because who just deletes there online life and friends but keeps there creepy TMNT comic obsession?

HATS does.

Why cut all ties and people linked to them and there behaviour if not suspect?

Something is going on here that's deeper.

I think HATS might be one of those predators you're told to avoid by your teacher?

Before I get cancelled I did ask HATS what there side of the story was. They said nothing but blocked me in seconds. Seconds guys! So I guess I'm on the nail when I said they're kind of like a predator mingling with my GenZ in tumblr. They were chatting me up, but when I ask about em being 40 and the dead friend....I'm blocked.

I dunno what they're doing in there private chat history. But 40 years old and pretending to be a teen on tumblr isn't normal and I think it's gross. Erasing a good bud is gross. Not paying respects at there funeral is scummy. Blocking people who ask is sus.

Is this a true predator? Be careful who you talk to in the TMNT fandom.

Asa (I know it means morning but it’s simple and sweet for me to remember)/Dawn 晨

A child from the isle of dawn, and a lightseeker+rhythm fashion kid

I really liked how Ly looks like in game so I decided to create a sky OC based on it

Tried using my very first digital art app again which is autodesk sketchbook, ended up liking how sketchy and pencil like it turned out

Also drew it on my phone this time, it’s a bit hard for me since I was used to my iPad but it turned out ok so yay

Now that I look at it the katana/sword looks a bit crooked, and I forgot I wanted to add a lightseekers pendant for her but sinve I’m lazy to edit it again lets just pretend her shirt is covering it

Since I’m horrible with backgrounds, I decided to just use a blurred screenshot from sky cotl wiki with a rectangle

^ and here’s how she would look like when she’s not wearing the bird mask

Be My Valentine: Part 2

So you’re probably wondering why there was no post yesterday... and that’s because silly me was ahead of the curve and accidentally posted Part 1 on Sunday instead of Monday like I was supposed to. 🤦‍♀️

I’m sorry about the delay, but here is part 2 of Chris and Violet’s love story.

Be My Valentine is a drabble series that I wrote for the Week of Love prompts for the HBC’s Valentine’s 2021 celebration. This series is for @the-ce-horniest-book-club​​.

Pairing: Chris Evans x Violet Hanson (OFC)

Rating: PG-13

Warnings: some language

Series Summary: Chris and Violet meet when he stops to help her with a flat tire in September. After bumping into each other again and again, Chris’s asks her out. The series follows several firsts in their relationship.

Disclaimer: This work of fiction is not to be reposted, used or translated without my permission.

Because of how tumblr can be with links (even if they’re just to other tumblr posts), I will reblog each part with a link to the masterlist.

Part 2: First Date

Two Weeks Later

Violet frowned as she looked at the shelf above her head at the grocery store. Most of the time she didn’t mind being 5’ 1”, but sometimes it really sucked. Especially when she was wearing shoes without heels.

Sighing, she turned to see if she could see an employee nearby, but instead she caught sight of a tall man down the aisle.

“Excuse me,” she called to him. “Can you help me?” She pointed to the shelf above her head.

“Uh sure,” the man replied. He pushed his grocery cart over and grabbed a box off the shelf for her. “Here you go -”

Violet looked up at his face when he stopped talking and found herself transported back to the rainy day two weeks earlier. She hadn't recognized him in the middle of her car crisis, but his relaxed smile and those beautiful blue eyes had stayed in her brain long after they'd parted.

Looking back, she'd felt oddly comfortable in the presence of a complete stranger, but she supposed that her subconscious had known exactly who he was, even if she hadn't. It hadn't been until later that day, when her brain had been nagging her about him seeming familiar that she had searched his name and figured out that Captain America himself had changed her flat tire.

“Violet?” The guy asked, finally handing her the box.

“Yeah,” she replied with a smile. “And you’re Chris.”

He nodded his head and she thought she saw a look of relief cross his face when she didn’t say his last name.

“It’s good to see you,” she told him. “And in dryer circumstances.”

“Warmer, too,” Chris agreed, rewarding her with a small chuckle.

It was only as they stood side by side that she realized he was nearly a head taller than her. She hadn’t realized it before because she’d been wearing heels, but now, in just her tennis shoes, she came just to his shoulders.

They made small talk for a couple more minutes before they parted, both going their own ways.

Only to bump into each other again a couple days later at a local coffee shop.

“We have got to stop meeting like this,” a voice said from behind her.

Startled, Violet turned and then relaxed when she saw Chris’s grinning face.

“Are you stalking me?” She asked teasingly.

“Absolutely not,” he replied pretending to be affronted, but she could see the humor in his eyes. “It’s just a coincidence.”

“That’s what a stalker would say,” she replied, narrowing her eyes.

“Let me buy your coffee and we’ll discuss it,” Chris suggested, nodding his head towards the counter.

Turning, Violet saw that it was her turn to order. She told the barista what she wanted and then stepped aside so Chris could place his order and pay for both drinks.

If there was anything Violet knew about men it was that almost none were interested in an overweight thirty something woman who wore glasses, even if she did have blonde hair and an ample bosom. Especially the famous ones like Chris.

But then he smiled at her again and she felt her heart skip a beat. He was going to be dangerous.

Even knowing that didn’t stop her from saying ok when he asked her out on a date a couple days later after they bumped into each other again. This time at a local bookstore.

Long as fuck post, sorry

By this time, last year, I was having Crisis after Crisis

I would cry myself to sleep when I could, and stay up until ungodly hours before I passed out from exhaustion when I couldn't

I would feel sick and tired and like I was going to throw up all the time

It was my Normal

Around this time last year, I was diagnosed with anxiety, obsessive compulsive behavior and traces of depressive behavior

By March 2021, I was the worst I had ever been

My then-best-friend threatened to kill my then-girlfriend if he ever saw her, and he said she stole me from him (mind you, I was giving him my dawns, staying up until almost 4am to make sure he was happy, not having a crisis, not going to kill himself, a thing he always threatened to do, stepping on my boundaries and feeling disgusting and horrible to make him feel good)

I was too in quarentine, so my room was my world, and had no escape from it

I had the worst crisis of my life that year, being constantly on edge, always angry, always miserable, always tired

I wanted to run away; to kill the life, the me, I knew, and start over somewhere else where no one knew me

I couldn't leave my mum, nor my friends, nor my then-girlfriend

By june, some things were different

I was constantly tired, but I didnt talk with my former-best-friend anymore

I didnt wanna see him, or talk to him, never again

I finally had recognized how awful I was being treated, how toxic that was, and how i didnt deserve that at all

And I was really nervous, because I was going back to school soon and he would be there

And I was afraid I'd forgive him

I was bitter, and angry, and feeling alone

By August, I was back at school

He came to talk with me, I didnt look at him, but let he speak; I did not forgive him, but somehow, that conversation changed something in me

The next week, I looked at him, and, for the first time, i felt nothing at all

I did not forgive him, but I dint need to, it's not even my place to do it anymore, because what he did was worse for him

If he wants forgiveness, he better do it himself

By August, my girlfriend broke up with me

I thought I'd be devastated; I wasn't

We hugged, and she cried, and I smiled and said it was ok; I said "we'll still be frieds"

We're better friends now than we were before

By September, someone put a brick on my backpack, because they thought it would be FuNnY or some shit like that

My mum was livid, I was unimpressed, my school did nothing

By November, I had listened the school priest talking shit about Halloween and calling it a satanic holyday, had to raise my voice and protect a 10yo girl from a creep because the school did nothing because "he is a good man and we dont want to ruin the institution image", and endure my math teacher constantly diminish the students, making jokes that were both machist and racist and sometimes even homophobic, and saying we'd never make into university, and that, if we did, it would be hell

Now, a year since I hit the bottom of the pit, I am truly happy for the first time since I can remember

I don't cry myself to sleep anymore

My music changed, and I have a goal both in which course I want and which college I wanna go too

I still dont have a girlfriend, and I lost a best friend, and I moved schools because I was bullied again and I was being disrespected by one of the teachers and I was feeling deeply dismotivated as a student and the school was awful in general

But, for the first time in a while, I feel hopeful, without needing to fake it, or pretend

For the first time in a long time, even on Empty Days I still manage to gather the energy to wake up and do my things, and don't have that faint but constant thought of self harm and death (that I never acted on) in my mind

For the first time in so long, I stopped overthinking (most of things)

For the first time since I can remember, I am calm about going back to school, this time to my senior year, even if it's a completely new place and I know almost no one there

For the first time, I'm Me, and that's kinda Something

31 July - Weekly Blog

Remember a long time ago when I made that Jahlon On Video about only having 86,400 seconds a day and you have to spend each one like it's the most precious commodity (because it is)?

Ok, so I’m going to pretend like you don’t remember that video. So first and foremost that video is here:

Secondly, I will get back to making Jahlon On content.

Third, the reason why my content has been all over the place is because I have too many irons in the fire. Which is sometimes a good thing, but other times a bad thing. Sometimes you need to focus on one thing at a time, and getting enough of PGN Music’s files done to open the Spotify Channel was a big part of what I was working on. The channel is now officially open and you can check that out here:

https://open.spotify.com/artist/4qZWTa2bhoPr2AOsANBazT

So, if you like Jazz or Epic Orchestra Music, give it a listen. In fact, do more than that, share it with your groups, your guilds, your favorite creators (the music is DMCA Free). Next up is some Celtic Tavern Music. That’s going to be a treat.

With that said, now I can get back to working on things on a more cyclical basis, and one of those things is the monthly blog. I didn’t realize it's been two months since I wrote a blog entry. Sometimes I think the blog is a waste, but other people have told me they have missed it, so if it brings some joy to just a few people then it is certainly worth doing, since it also acts as a milestone marker for me as to what I’ve accomplished on a week to week basis.

Ashes of Creation

For those of you who have been watching Ashes of Creation’s development over the past few years, we actually managed to hit a major milestone while I’ve been preoccupied. Alpha 1 has been going for about three-weeks now and it has been a major success. Now, keep in mind that when you talk about the success of an Alpha you have to realize that it is not a finished product. An Alpha (especially a Western Alpha) is meant to be a testing ground to ensure different parts of things actually work.

I’ve had a lot of fun testing the game with the Paradox Community and we’ve had quite a few people both join us for testing and sign up for Ashes and help support the Network.

For anyone looking for the July Update for Ashes that is here:

And some in-game footage can be found here:

If you are just learning about Ashes of Creation and you have not made your account yet, please consider using this referral link: https://ashesofcreation.com/r/DE3PDNGIRSPVK7Q4 Costs you absolutely nothing to use, but it helps financially support the Paradox Gaming Network so I have money to do things like giveaways for subscription time when Ashes launches.

Fractured

Another game that we cover as a guild is the game Fractured. Fractured had some problems earlier this year with their Spring Alpha, mainly getting the siege mechanic out in a timely fashion. They sort of missed their window of opportunity; however, it looks like in the second half of September there is going to be another round of testing. If you want to check out what they have planned for a fall, check out their Roadmap to the Fall Alpha 2021 article.

https://fracturedmmo.com/roadmap-to-fall-alpha-2021/

They have made a ton of changes including changes to enchanting (now called imbuing), Enchanting (which is now something new) new abilities (including NECROMANCY!!!!!), and changes to the PvP rules, drop rules, etc.

If you missed my coverage of Fractured Earlier this year you can check out this video to get caught up on this Isometric Downward looking open world MMOARPG.

If you know anyone who is going to be buying into Fractured Testing, remind them that Code JAHLON or Code PARADOX will save them 10% at checkout.

On a special note, I will always be thankful to Dynamight Studios for setting me up with my first ever community discount code.

Elyon

Launching on 29 September is Elyon, and that makes for a special birthday present for me! If you missed my coverage of Elyon Earlier this year you can check it out here

Now, The Team at Elyon has done their very best to make sure there is no P2W. Sadly, however; they ended up offering up to a 3 day head start in the founder’s packages. This hasn’t endeared them to the player base who was counting on them to not have any P2W, and a lot of players see a three-day head start as major P2W.

I plan on covering the P2W vs Head Start issue when Closed Beta 2 Starts. Be on the lookout for some of that.

Steampunk Dreams

As I said earlier, all of Steampunk Dreams is finished, at least the music side of it. I only have 6 of the 20 songs on YouTube, but that’s because I’m waiting on the money to be able to pay the artists to cover art. The good news is that now that I’m on Spotify it opens up another avenue of zero cost income for the Paradox Gaming Network. Hopefully we can eventually get the songs to start to be utilized so they can generate their own income stream, which will then allow us to make more music, pay for more art, do more Stream Alerts and Emotes.

Fiction Reading Material

Another thing that has kept me busy and away from you guys is that I’m reading a lot again. Thanks to a great recommendation I’m reading the Belgariad series. I’m actually on the first book of the second series, but we can’t get ahead of ourselves.

If you like Fantasy Fiction (Magic) you might want to check out this book by David Eddings.

**Yes this is an Amazon affiliate link, and I do get compensated if you purchase it through my link. That’s another one of those zero cost income things**

Non Fiction Reading Material

For your professional development this week I recommend Leading Change by John Knotter. This is a change management meets leadership book. It's been a few years since I made my way through his 2 part series. Expect a Jahlon On on this book series sometime in the future. No promises for immediate fulfillment.

Epic Games - Free Game of the Week

I know some of you are going to say you hate EGS and you’d never use it. That’s fine. If you REALLY hate them, claim all the free games they give away and never spend a dime there.

This week they have Mothergunship and Train Sim World 2 for Free.

MOTHERGUNSHIP is a bullet-hell FPS where you craft your own guns, fight huge bosses, and defeat a robotic alien armada that conquered Earth. Face off against overwhelming odds in brutal, non-stop combats where thinking on your feet is the only way to survive.

So, I mean if you are bored, and looking for SOMETHING you can get something to keep you entertained, and on the off chance you do make a purchase from EGS, if you don't’ already have a favorite creator, then use Code JAHLON27. Won’t save you anything, but it's another one of those zero cost income things.

Supernatural Rewatch : 2x4

(queued 2021/02/03)

Main Canadian actor from Letterkenny!!!! My dude!!!. That just sukerpunched me holy shit (he’s playing the asshole boyfriend)

Uh oh she's gonna crash

Don't remember how that was Supernatural… (cause it wasn’t the crash that was supernatural)

She hunts the friend right… (nope, took a sec but I remembered)

Also wait wait, Sam just buried John's dog tags over Mary's grave, but Dean is wearing a chain. Something under his shirt. And it's not the amulet… what IS IT 4:40

Oh no wait... The guy raised her as a zombie… (there we go)

Ok 5:37, the chain is just literally a chain with nothing on it. Weird. I don't think he had that before?? (I completely forgot to look for it again so it’ll remain a mystery)

God Dean, so defensive

Lolol the sass they give each other just through looks, true brothers

But now I'm watching and it's fucking tainted... Like come on Jared why… (... for context I watched this the same day he gave that interview with the “success story for Dean” line….)

God Jensen had the Stare (still does, wtf am I talking about, “had”)

Also funny how Sammy is right that Dean is trying to Not Think about his parents, so finds a hunt, but turns out it's actually a hunt anyway lol. I have a feeling it was part instinct, part avoidance

Hey ex-boyfriend guy is gonna die

Oh god Sammy was watching "something something erotica 4: tales of two Latin beauties" XD

But like very pensive on the edge of the bed. Like watching any other show. Then Dean walks in and he shuts it off XD

And the fliers for the hot xxx pay per view is on the TV XD

Lol Sam can play the "I'm sorry for your loss" and "I'm a therapist" card way better than Dean for some reason (Dean I find is always a bit too straight to the point and a bit too eager to get info and it puts people off. Like he’s really good at fast balling when they’re trying to get somewhere or when they’re in trouble, but Sam is better with keeping people calm? Idk if it’s because it’s always different writers or if it’s something the brothers balance each other in. Knowing this show, it’s both)

Annndd there's no body in the coffin.

Ew zombie kiss (It’s creepy cause we know she’s not really herself anymore)

Fucckkk "no Dean you can't deal with it by yourself. And you're the only one that thinks that you have too. Let me help you." Fuck shit Sam just wants to help his brother but Dean doesn't want to burden his child. The way his dad burdened him. I canNOT

(comment from convo with @adhdeancas: I KNOW)

God Jensen was right when he said last September that a Walking Dead crossover would have been amazing. Sammy literally just said "there's hundreds of lore on the walking dead" in this episode I'm....

Also how does one student have that whole house.

LOL when there's a pan shot of the car driving on the road it's not even Jensen and Jared

Oh shit she killed him. (the guy that raised her)

Like, dumbass. He should have gone with the boys. Or at least pretend better. Jesus. Well he was already dumb enough to raise her...

Mmmmm interesting. "what's dead should stay dead". Yet who makes a deal to bring back his dead brother… This fucking show

Oh ya shit Jared actually sprained his hand and still acted through it

Oooo Dean apologies for being as ass

Oh fuck his dealing with HIMSELF not staying Dead. My boy so fucking smart tho like "we know Dad is dead because of me. Come on, at the hospital? Clean bill of health, was a miracle, then he dies 5 mins later"

How John and Sam were the most important people in his life and now he only has Sam.

God fuck that finale (Honestly this thought is going through my head all the time.)

"I was dead. And I should have stayed dead. You wanted to know how I was feeling. Well this is it" FUCK, DEAN, DARLING. Fuck you Jensen. Making me cry.
