Because I've seen people asking for it, here's all the information I have (and have made) for the PTN Goddess!AU. Keep in mind it's still in development, meaning I'm happy to hear people's ideas and input and I'll probably change things up from them.

CW: PTN Goddess!AU under the cut.

For this AU I'm using Greek Gods & Goddesses specifically. Mainly because I know about them the most and plus this was inspired by Chameleon, Chelsea, & Cabernet's Greek inspired attires.

Before I go into information on the PTN women, here's stuff to know about the Reader; They are a human who devotes their life to worshipping the Gods. So much so that's caught the attention of a few. They are devout and loyal to their Goddesses, worshipping not just at their shrines, but worshipping them in the bedroom as well.

Next, here's the women I don't have anything set up for yet (have chosen a Greek God they could be). So, would love to hear opinions on these women; Eleven, K.K., Macchiato, McQueen, Pricilla, Shalom, Stargazer, & Uni.

Now, here's a list of the other women and the Gods they represent in this AU;

✧ ADELA: Hades, God of the Underworld, the dead and riches.

✧ ANNE: Asclepius, God of healing and medicine.

✧ BAI YI: Hermes, God of travel, speed, thieves, trade and invention.

✧ CABERNET: Dionysus, God of grape-harvest, wine, orchards, madness and parties.

✧ CASSIA: Aglaia, Goddess of beauty, splendor, glory and adornment.

✧ CHAMELEON: Hypnos, God of sleep.

✧ CHELSEA: Aphrodite, Goddess of beauty, love, desire, passion and pleasure.

✧ CINNABAR: Soteria, Goddess of safety, salvation, deliverance and preservation from harm.

✧ COQUELIC: Demeter, Goddess of harvest, grain and fertility.

✧ CORSO: Lyssa, Goddess of mad rage, frenzy and rabies.

✧ DEREN: Pheme, Goddess of fame and renown.

✧ DREYA: Nyx, Goddess of the night.

✧ EIRENE: Plutus, God of abundance and wealth.

✧ ENFER: Hephaestus, God of technology, craftsman, sculptures and blacksmiths.

✧ GAROFANO: Hera, Goddess of women, marriage, childbirth and familial love.

✧ HAMEL: Terpsichore, Goddess of lyric poetry and dancing.

✧ IGNIS: Hestia, Goddess of hearth, home and family.

✧ IRON: Paean, God of healing and physicians.

✧ KELVIN: Khoine, Goddess of snow.

✧ LAMIA: Poseidon, God of the sea, storms, earthquakes and floods.

✧ LANGLEY: Athena, Goddess of wisdom, strategy, crafts and the arts.

✧ LISA: Apollo, God of the sun, light, plague, music, art, poetry, knowledge and truth.

✧ MANTIS: Pan, God of the wild.

✧ NOX: Psyche, Goddess of the human soul.

✧ NINETY-NINE: Kratos, God of strength.

✧ OAK CASKET: Thanatos, God of peaceful death.

✧ RAHU: Nemesis, Goddess of balance, retribution and vengeance.

✧ RAVEN: Calliope, Goddess of epic poetry.

✧ SERPENT: Morpheus, God of dreams.

✧ SUMIRE: Persephone, Goddess of the springtime and vegetation.

✧ TETRA: Peitho, God of persuasion.

✧ ZOYA: Ares, God of war and courage.

Random thing I’ve been thinking about is before you and Shalom started to date she would “stalk” interact with you a lot. She’ll note lots of things you like, hobbies, certain things you do everyday, etc. She probably even remember your period cycle before you guys start dating. I love this woman you don’t know how much I do 😭 But I present to you……

Dating Headcanons for Shalom

SFW

-Very dotting person and notes if you’re uncomfortable or anything. You can’t hide your emotions from her. Though her emotions are hard to tell. If you know her well enough you’ll see flicks in her eyes that somewhat can tell her emotions.

-She’s usually the one to drag you to social events and the one to step in front of you and protect you from people talking to you if you’re shy. She’ll usually tease about your shyness when you guys are going home.

-Her biggest ways of showing affection would be words of affirmation and physical touch in general. Her soothing voice is like honey as she holds you close to her. Hands running through your hair as you lay on her lap.

-In return she loves if you do stuff for her. As simple as planning a date or preparing a bath for her. Also gifts are a big thing for both of you. She has a special box dedicated to the gifts you get her. From handmade brackets to jewelry. She keeps them all. She especially loves the ones that she can wear or shaped as flowers….

-She would be very happy if you can keep flowers alive, because she can’t. But do not fret if you both can’t keep them alive she likes to the arts and crafts to make flowers out all sorts of things. She does them on her free time with you as she plays her record player in the background.

-Sometimes she’ll have nightmares about when she entered BR-002 and how got targeted by an Underground hitman which made her fall into a deep coma. Her body would slightly tense up and hug you tighter. She doesn’t say anything but you know that you shouldn’t pull away. You hug her tighter as if trying to give her some comfort as she nuzzles into the crook of your neck.

NSFW

-She is 100% a power bottom so she likes to be in control but still likes to get pleased. You go at the speed she likes and you obey what she tells you to do like a good girl.

-Her fingers are very nimble and slim also long so she can reach deep inside of you and make you cum within minutes.

-Quite big into body worshiping. She lays on the bed like the pillow princess she is as you run your fingers along her body. Moving across every crook and nook. Moving your hands down her curves as you murmur praises to her while make her shiver.

-The sounds she make is like music to your ears. Small moans as you please her boosts your ego a bit too much. So she sometimes will try to cut off her moans a bit or use her hand to block her moans just to make you huff; due to her blocking her beautiful sounds from you.

-Also loves it when she runs her hands through your body. You sudden gasps and sounds as she pry and touch at her spots on your body. Explores your body like it’s some type of puzzle that she will figure out. She’ll hum softly as she runs her fingers over your body.

-Into pet play. Having a custom collar around your neck. It’s red with a light hint of purple to it. It’s somewhat thick with a tag named Shalom on it. On the side is a golden ring which she can clip a collar onto. You’re on your knees between her legs as she tugs the collar up so you look at her.

-Her aftercare is also really nice. A nice bath with some candles on the side. Her record playing spinning as you lay against each other in the warm water. (Usually leads to another round) Likes running her hands through your hair as she murmurs what a good girl you were.

I love this woman so much 😭😭😭😭 I cannot express how much I love. I NEED her. I wasn’t playing during her banner so I’m saving up until she has a rerun (which is proabably gonna be around October) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I want to write a self ship with her so bad 😞

by Kylie Ora Lobell

Now, Klompas has come out with a book, “Stand-Up Nation: Israeli Resilience in the Wake of Disaster” (Wicked Son), which is a unique approach to Israel activism. Rather than sharing news about the war, this book highlights Israel’s altruism towards the world. 

“Today, Israel is nicknamed the ‘Start-Up Nation,’ and it is celebrated for its booming economy and ingenious innovations,” she wrote in the book. “Less celebrated is the story of how Israel lifted up other nations as it lifted up itself — the story of Israel, a force for good in the world.”

“Today, Israel is nicknamed the ‘Start-Up Nation,’ and it is celebrated for its booming economy and ingenious innovations. Less celebrated is the story of how Israel lifted up other nations as it lifted up itself — the story of Israel, a force for good in the world.”

Klompas’ book outlines MASHAV’s work, such as when they built the first utility-scale solar field in East Africa, spearheaded clean water initiatives in Israel, Jordan, the West Bank and Gaza and provided meals to starving children in India. 

“For a while, Israel became a global leader in supporting newly independent states. Precisely because it was small and poor, Israel had an advantage over larger, richer, and more established countries,” Klompas wrote. “It was a model and source of inspiration for newly emerging nations facing their own array of challenges.”

She saw this with her own eyes. After finishing up at the UN, she founded and led Project Inspire, an initiative to show Israel’s work in social, environmental and economic development in low-income nations. She ran tours in Uganda, Kenya, Guatemala, India and Nepal, showing participants how people in these countries utilize Israel’s teachings and technologies to tackle poverty and inequality. 

 When Klompas traveled, she saw Israel in “the most unlikely of places,” she wrote. “While trekking in East Africa and walking through a small craft market, I spotted a handmade beaded bracelet with the flag of Israel alongside bracelets with the flags of Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. In the remote hills of Nepal, I happened upon a group of children, and as I passed by they yelled to me: ‘Shalom! Namaste! Hello!’ In Uganda, I visited a remote island on Lake Victoria. Getting there required a windy bus ride, followed by a rickety boat ride, followed by another bumpy bus ride. When we finally reached Osanidde Village, an orphanage for children with HIV, we were greeted by teenagers who sang the Ugandan national anthem followed by ‘Hatikva.’”

“Stand-Up Nation” is a callback to what Israel really is, and what a massive impact the small Jewish State has had on the world – a much-needed reminder post-Oct. 7, when it is being bashed everywhere we look. Klompas believes that enough isn’t being done to communicate Israel’s nation-building initiatives. 

“I think I’m the first one to write a book about it, if not one of the first,” she said. “I’m not sure that people who have been to Israel dozens of times are even familiar with MASHAV. How many people know this story about Israel as a developing country and founding an international development agency at the same time? It’s an untold story. And the more that I learn about it, the more it shocks me that people don’t know it.”

Hi Eden! I thought maybe you could use a nice ask for once, and also that you and your followers are probably a good resource for this. :3

My intro to Judaism seminar starts in April, and I'm vibrating out of my skin in anticipation. 😂 Do you have any recommendations for how to channel my energy into something helpful/positive in the meantime? I feel like maybe this is an ADHD thing; I'm less than a month away, which is close enough to anticipate but long enough to still feel the wait, lol.

Shabbat shalom and thank you for everything you are, my friend 💜💜

Oh!!!! What a wonderful ask, @melancholic-pigeon!!!! I'm thrilled for you! Yasher koach, my friend!!!!

Well, with Purim fast approaching (and really, any time) there's always Tikkun Olam projects. Volunteer at a nursing home or an animal shelter, etc. General good works are a great way to do good when you have spare time.

If you're just looking for something to do while you go about your day, here's what I do:

Clear out my email inbox

Cook or bake something complicated enough that it demands your full focus

Nail art (any semi-repetitive craft task will work here. For example, knitting, crochet, painting, etc. I personally lack coordination enough for all these, so nail art it is!)

Listen to podcasts/audiobooks/music while doing all these things (that way, you are occupying your body with the physical task and your mind with the narration)

Thank you for everytihng you are, too! You're a wonderful person, and I'm glad to know you!

Major Path to Nowhere spoilers under the readmore, Shalom Interrogation thoughts and theories, got some serious theory crafting and some silly ones

Chiefff I love her so much, getting to hear her voice again is amazing, and her past is so sad!

Due to her saying: "Mark my words, you'll regret this. If you don't end me right now, you're in for a world of pain!" It leads me to believe that past Chief was provoking her on purpose, so that Shalom would be "forced" to kill her in order to remove the shackles.

About that Chief.... um, past you probably would depise that you're still alive... :(

Past Chief: *hates Shalom, hates everything, everyone, herself, shackles Shalom out of anger and desperation so Shalom would kill her*

Shalom, finally experiencing emotions again: FRIEND :) She's so amazing, able to fly under the radar, she's so great, incredible, even now she keeps her humanity(-> proceeds to call us a monster, multiple times)

SHALOM I know your experiencing emotions again in awhile so you're clearly overwhelmed but girl calm down she didn't do what she did to be nice or to help you! She probably knew nothing about that, she just wanted death... :(

Also... I know the Shalom touches the Chief (presumably on the head as seen in the first CG) Also the CG is so pretty, poor past Chief looks so depressed and broken in how she was slumped over in that chair. Yet even after that, there seems to have been a delay between that touch and Shalom being shackled..? Does this mean that the Chief shackled Shalom without touching her?? Chief is straight-jacketed. If the Chief's shackles were always hers, then it stands to reason past her would know more about it, things she possibility wouldn't want to tell anyone about. Something present her has also done, hiding information for her own protection.

Not to mention, in the prologue, the Chief also shackled Hella without meaning to... So maybe it really doesn't require touch, it's just easier to establish the connection to a Sinner's mania through touch?

On a serious note.. What happened... Past Chief seems to hate everything, everyone, and most importantly, herself. She obviously seemed to want to be dead. (Whose protection is the straightjacket for? Hmmm?) I mean, obviously a lot happened to her.

"I will never forgive, never!!" Forgive what? Did Past Chief find out something she shouldn't have about the MBCC, FAC, 9th Agency, Paradiasoes? Never forgive about being experimented on by the Underground?(In the unfurl flashbacks when taking about how the shackles were acquired from the Underground, it shows the Chief in a strange form, so it seems that she and her shackles were the og, and her shackles were presumably "defective" from the Underground Shephard's(?) ).

Then due to her being presumed defective, hence a risk Paradiasoes wouldn't like, when really it was her shackles and not her personally, her shackles were replicated into the previous Chiefs of MBCC until for some reason("no other choice but her") she was forced to become Chief. Perhaps the shackles being implanted into her, and possibly the experiments done on her to replicate it so other people could wield them. Perhaps she found out about the secret MBCC lab(possibly the lab the replication experiments happened) that Suspect R destroyed in the prologue which is shown behind her actually. It's all very curious, and all of those could be a factor. It required the Chief credentials to access, so it's possible that the Chief found out about it, and hence Suspect R somehow? (To me due to Suspect R's closeness with Chief and how initially she wanted to take Chief with her in the prologue, it makes me feel like Past Chief and Suspect R were in cahoots until the plan fell apart? Perhaps to get back at the world, since Suspect-R seems motivated by the administrations failures, and also Suspect-R expresses disgust by the shackles, perhaps Past Chief shared a similar view on the shackles and the exploitation(replication) of her powers, hence one of the reasons she wanted death to prevent this? )

It's all so interesting and curious. It's hard to craft theories with so little info since a lot of it isn't certain, and what info we were given spawns even more questions...

Anywho, serious theory crafting over, silly theory crafting next:

Second of all,

I love how this implies that the Chief was given a haircut BEFORE being shoved into the reconstruction pod. The Chief's hair is indeed longer in the past!

Lmfaooo, who do you think gave her a haircut and why?

I vote Nightingale 😂

Nightingale: Chief, with all the operations you've been on, your hair gets so messy because it's so long. Instead of complaining about it, let me fix that for you :)

Past Chief, probably traumatized by experimentation: NO

Nightingale: *>:(*

Later:

Reconstruction Researcher: We're about to place her in the pod.

Nightingale, scissors in hand: ONE MOMENT-

Later:

Adela: If you ever need a haircut, please, stop on by.

Present Chief: I'll consider it :)

Nightingale: You've got to be kidding me...

Lmfao, remember the whole "Midnight Barber" meme audio, Nightingale is the Midnight(ingale) Barber

oh also, could you translate this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7NVr4XKWLc

One of my FAVORITES by jimbo jay! though I think the original performance at the poetry slam was better.

I think translating Jimbo does a disservice to his craft, for his hebrew skills are INSANE, but Imma try

Here's the center

Two sons were to Tel Aviv The first - the Ayalon stream. Ayalon was a good kid His brother - the Yarkon river, didn't really go with the flow It gathered most of the attention In the Yarkon, the river banks to filth, the girls to suitcases, the bridges - to become ruins To Tel Aviv water reached the soul (hebrew expression: it had become insufferable) It gave up on the Yarkon and told Ayalon "So that you won't end up like your brother, at yours traffic will flow" And Ayalon, as fits a good kid Turned from a stream to a way (Ayalon became one of the most major roads in Israel) And since then, it had been ordained that he must carry (also claim) from south to north Here's the center

This is the city that had bequeathed defeat to her streams and ran screaming ever since (sounds like the verb for of "stream". Stream: "Nachal", bequeathed: "Hinchila") Come to here, here is the center

We'll return to Ayalon From the south, to the central station you go down in Kibutz Galuyot (diasporas kibbutz, name of a station) in sorrow hellwards (hebrew expression: to go down in sorrow hellwards: to cause someone much sorrow, such that they may die from it) To the diaspora, the service, the taxis So there they hang on calling the central: "the new" At most - the less old Central? at most a darn station By the way, only in Galuyot you go down In the Shalom and La Guardiya you go out Go out to the "London Ministore" the "Mikes Place" the "Breakfast" To english, to tourists and mainly go out to the (Dizengoff) Center Center There also is a center And we are not in the central anymore, right, we switched to english But we northened and the middle hadn't moved If we'd northern more we won't go down and won't go out We'll go up to Arlozorov To the stock exchange, the Paz Only to discover that to the Savidor train, there they call it the center train We'll try in Rokach as well, the center of the fairs The center is also in Rokach from the necessity of the circumstances (in hebrew: Korach) To northern, to southern, and always to center Tel Aviv, tell me, isn't it easier to confess?

This is the city that had bequeathed defeat to her streams and ran screaming ever since (sounds like the verb for of "stream". Stream: "Nachal", bequeathed: "Hinchila") Come to here, here is the center

But not really a center, not really A distortion of nature Open a map and see that the center of the country is much closer to Be'er Sheva But people believe because Tel Aviv says enough times and with enough faith Until the weatherman, who has a map opened in front of him, calls the north of the Negev the south of the country So why are people surprised when Ayalon floods paths when the winter hits the Shfela Ayalon says "mom, I'm a stream" The traffic jams and the air pollution is a curse of the city that had bequeathed defeat to her streams and ran screaming ever since come to here, here is good, here, here is the center

Two sons were to Tel Aviv The first, The Yarkon stream, wasn't like everyone, didn't go with the flow The second, the Ayalon stream, was just a good kid The first drew most of the attention In the Yarkon, the river banks to filth, the girls to suitcases, the bridges - to become ruins Tel Aviv was disappointed in the Yarkon for not going on the road, so it told Ayalon, you will go with the central flow Water reached the soul, at yours, the traffic will flow (hebrew expression: it had become insufferable) And such, at the heart of Tel Aviv, against its will a stream turned to a road And since then, it had been ordained for Ayalon to carry (also claim) from south to north Here's the center

From the south, the central station Those who go down in Ayalon in Kibutz Galuyot (diasporas kibbutz, name of a station) go down in sorrow hellwards (hebrew expression: to go down in sorrow hellwards: to cause someone much sorrow, such that they may die from it) To the diaspora, the service, the taxis So there they hang on calling the central: "the new" At most - the less old Central? at most a darn station By the way, only in Galuyot you go down In the Shalom and La Guardiya you go out Go out to the "London Ministore" the "Mikes Place" the "Breakfast" To english, to tourists and mainly to the (Dizengoff) Center Yes, center There also, suddenly a center Not in the central anymore, and right, in english But we northened and the middle hadn't moved If we'd northern more we won't go down and won't go out We'll go up in Arlozorov To the stock exchange, the Paz Only to discover that to the Savidor train, they called the center train So we'll try in Rokach, the center of the fairs The center is also in Rokach from the necessity of the circumstances (in hebrew: Korach) To northern, to southern, and always to center Tel Aviv, tell me, isn't it easier to confess that not really a center?

A distortion of nature Open a map, the center of the country is 100 kilometers from here - Be'er Sheva But people believe because Tel Aviv But people believe because Tel Aviv says enough times and with enough faith Until the weatherman, who has a map opened in front of him, calls the north of the Negev the south of the country So why are people surprised when Ayalon floods paths when the winter hits the Shfela As if it says "I'm a stream" The traffic jams and the air pollution is a curse of the city that had bequeathed defeat to her streams and ran screaming ever since Here, like everyone, here is good, here, here is the center (sounds like the verb for of "stream". Stream: "Nachal", bequeathed: "Hinchila")

[shalom-iamcominghome]

So progress on my tallit was stalled for the longest time because I hit a wall about my vision for what I wanted. I was so close to scrapping the entire thing to start over until I flipped the entire project which... Getting a hook through foundation chains sucks, I have decided. You might not notice a difference, but the difference is that the shell stitches are now at the bottom of the entire project, whereas before they were at the top because I had a specific vision and it didn't work out.

I'm including the running statistics for my tallit because it's actually kind of insane.

For metric users, the total yardage comes out to 1,755.6 meters. The total yardage equals out to being approximately as long as 79.8 (mature, female) blue whales.

Quite literally, I am 25% done with this project. Don't even ask how many hours I have spent on this, I can't even begin to estimate. And don't you dare ask about the ends I still need to weave in...

i hope this is alright since i know we haven’t really talked but, i think you might take a liking to shalom or garofano from path to nowhere? they’re both very poised and graceful ladies and though shalom hides it more behind a carefully crafted mask they’re both very determined and ready to sacrifice it all for their goal (and for you). and if you’re interested their event is rerunning soon in game for you to read

( @empress-consort )

Totally alright, there’s always gotta be something that leads to a start of conversation lol

Shalom is super pretty tho! I briefly glanced at her wiki page and she definitely seems like someone I’d like, I’ll just have to ignore any attempts by the game to tell me she’s younger than 30 lol. But I love characters who are hiding parts of themselves behind masks, sometimes literally, so she definitely seems up my alley

Garofano’s also really pretty! I couldn’t find as much info about her, but she does pique my interest

I have a mutual on twitter who’s into Path to Nowhere, but idk much about it myself other than I think it’s a gacha game. Feel free to tell me more about it tho! idk if I’d be able to play it since right now bg3 and da are taking up all my gamer space in my mind, but these two for sure have me interested
