Art is the total sum of a culture that has gone through some minor and major changes and the results are many some elegant,some minimalistic, some so profound that have shaken to the core the civilization,defining their spiritual roots or the absence of it .I’m talking about Theriomorphism When humans take animal forms reflected in the art of a culture.Here we have a woman sculpture with a bird head.dating back to 1450- 1200 BCE.There are plenty of such sculptures from civilizations all over this world. When the first witches begun to appear taking the role of healers ,they were attributed to take such forms to go and meet the sick ones ,basically turning shape shifters.Terracotta sculptures were rather crude but effective when treating certain illnesses .A very universal form is the angel sculptures or winged beings associated with religions in this case both male and female and often with no gender this is a subject that still is debated among religious scholars.Well,in my humble opinion it is best to steer clear of religious dogma.There is so much fiction according to academics that they won’t go there ,because they might lose their reputation . But shamans are free to explore and learn about these creatures because they are part of a long history and folklore of many cultures. Words by Sergio GuymanProust.

Okay, imagine this scenario!

I was thinking of a Jurassic Park-style + Survival show. I haven't seen the movie franchise completely and don't know the history so this isn't related to their lore.

Not proofread

Sunshine character that has always loved animals. Finally works at the Dinosaur Island and she's a fan favorite among the crowd, always had a special bond with the animals. Until the place suddenly goes haywire, everyone except some random park visitors and specific people is evacuated. In the beginning, they thought it was just a coincidence. Until they find out the cameras in the place are live-streaming them as if they were on a survival show even having commercial cuts.

They go through the basic challenges and slowly she starts losing friends. Notices the animals are not themselves anymore, that she can no longer trust them. Has to do what she can to try and survive even if it means hurting them, since there is one final way out. The first time we see her switch from her bright personality is when she sees a dino eat her friend. It's the first kill of the whole thing, then we see her scared and crying. Until she has to take up one of the challenges pushing or throwing everyone off a ledge, taking a risk that her favorite and bonded animal is still good and will help them.

In the beginning, I imagined her in the park uniform, her boots had pretty charms on them, a pretty hairstyle, and glasses. By the end, she's a wreck, wet, and dirty, hair out of place, and blood that she didn't know if it was hers. She had a natural light to her in the beginning but now she's just darker. During all this, they are activating bombs and trying to figure out who is behind all of this. Once they get to the escape pods or helicopter right when she is gonna get on she drags a guy off. For a second everyone thought she was behind it but no it was the guy, she closed the helicopter door and told them to leave. Even if they aren't right she can't leave that place behind, she tussles with the guy but she wins.

Villain: “You know this means you won, right?”

As he is sat criss-cross, bruised, tied up, disheveled, and smirking or tired smile.

Sunshine character who is now broken sitting in front of them with a detonator in their hands. “Yeah, I know”

In a blunt tone as they naturally press the button exploding/killing everything around them including the villain and herself.

Just to add a angst, the villain wasn’t a random bystander. It was someone she worked with, someone she trusted. Maybe they even liked each other, had a “date” planned and everything. The first kill was on purpose the villain didn't like how close she was with that guy. The villain thought they would escape together and live happily ever after, and in some twisted way, he technically won too. Getting her in the end dead or alive.

I can imagine her pressing the detonator in 3 ways. 1 is the one up top 2. She has his head in her lap and is playing with his hair in a way trying to comfort herself, then pressing it while trying to hide her face. 3. Her saying the line with a broken smile, leaning in to kiss him, and pressing the button.

Under the cut kinda what I imagine for her aesthetic

Yall really need to understand....it is not hate to disagree with someone. And if someone uses words that you *personally* find offensive...it is okay...and well within your right to state the boundaries "that word offends me/triggers me/hurts my feelings/makes me mad" however and the other person if theyre a good faith actor will be like okay I won't use that lingo with you. ....

But then it is not fair to police this person using that lingo/dialect/word.....when talking to someone *else*.

How you getting offended at someone saying a word you don't want to hear and your ass wasn't even in the conversation? You know how to stop getting offended? Literally butt out and mind yo bizznizz.

I love you Tumblr but some of yall just clowning about getting offended like....someone can fucking compliment you and you gotta search they profile to FIND something that can trigger your ass.

I think yall just LIKE being triggered.and if that's a game you want to play and you'll do it without damaging yourself...can yall engage in the bdsm tactics and find the people who match your brand of crazy and go cherry pick reasons to be mad at each other in a different spot? Like....some of us want to he able to talk to people we get along with and talk about whatever we're talking about....and conversations are allowed to happen that aren't fights. People can just keep agreeing and enjoy that and so they just keep going. Like yall be so focused on your supposed to be offended yall either lost sight or just don't know the enjoyment of talking with someone you actually get along with. And I'm sorry for you for that. Really. But I'm gonna need yall to put the triggered button down sometimes....cause yall be looking for where you can be offended at some NOT offensive bullshit and....the rest of the world....the people who like not fighting? They're getting tired of you.

Please.

If you have the capacity right now in your funky self hatred. Please.....stop.

Stop.

Get off the disagreement = hate = we gotta fight = triggered ....thought loop.

Please.

Jesus loves yall.

If you are seriously trying to LOOK to be offended at people who just wanna be nice at each other....and at you if you'd let them....

You are NOT in the right.

You are NOT a paladin of truth.

I need you to understand....really understand....you're a problem.

This behavior is a problem prohibiting peace. Yall want the fighting to stop? Stop. Being. Triggered. FFS. Been going on least 20 years. Least.

......play with a different toy now.

I love you.

But if another person comes up in my crib....when I just want to find someone to get along with....and TRYING to be offended with all they little engine that could beta energy ass......I will not give a damn about your sensitivity and I will with a heart full of love and deep seeded PITY for you.....

Clown.

Your.

<Word you wanna cancel>.

Ass.

I need you to know something friends. I don't always remember to leave comments as often as I should. But if I love your fic and it gets a comment, it's getting an ESSAY. If you put a suggested song in the notes, then it's going on while I read and reply.

Kudos? Always! Saves and faves.

I will keysmash my thoughts, copy fave quote and share my unhinged thoughts. Those are the comments that can sustain me for a full year, so I try to deliver them wherever possible to my fellow writers.

I'm sorry if I seem intense. You see, I am.

Third chapter is out.

[hadesgirl015]

Story Summary: Back in crèche Y’llek Lae’zel found a lone githyanki egg. With all other life in the crèche wiped out, Lae’zel brought the egg with her. She has been carrying it and watching it ever since. It shouldn’t hatch anytime soon…should it?

A series of one shots in no particular order except for the first two. This thought came to me as I wrote Chapter 42 in "Fire and Runepowder" When asking about the Githyanki Egg and seeing how protective she is over the egg.

"Perhaps I should call you mommy Lae'zel"

"Only if you want to be roasted over the fire with my sword as the spit."

Lae'zel thinks the egg will not hatch anytime soon, but what if she was wrong and it does hatch sometime during Act 3? She is also convinced that it is safer with her rather than in camp. So, what will she do with Xan once the egg hatches?
