Humans are scary- Children and teens (Part one of the escapist)

"You see, many years ago, Pirate Captain Kik'r'l captured 4 human younglings. They were each 12, 14, 16, and 17- in their years. In U'uor years, 11, 13, 15, and 16. They were litter-mates, hatched by the current human Ambassador and his mate. Zeyr plan was to hold them for money, for greed. He did not know how big of a mistake it was," "What happened, Uor-Eldr?" "He did not know that human younglings do not need to mature to fight back, like many other races. In fact, they can be as young as 5-4 U'uor years- and bite off a U'uor's hand," "Gasp!" "Uor-Eldr, how do they do that? Do they have sharp teeth?" "Do they have poison?"  "Nay. They have small, rounded, stubbed teeth. They do not have poison. But their jaws are strong, like those of a Jemake. And they are born with the type of determination only seen in their kind. But, you must understand, they are not fearless. They are not like the Sh-Shki, who do not feel fear or anger. They are not like the Y-a iek, who fear no race because they are arrogant. They can feel fear. The younglings cried for days, before it went quiet," "Did they die?" "Nay. When Kik'r'l checked on them, they all flew out the open door and stabbed him with glass shards from a shattered window nearby. Kik'r'l never fixed it-and payed for the price,"

"Till Death Do Us Part"

“TILL DEATH DO US PART”

A cherry plum glistened in the early morning sun, its sleek and slick purple sides seemingly dripping with dew as the sun starts to take the first slices… The only slices this little fruit will ever feel, because all the hands in the world are cold and lifeless by now, aye cold and lifeless; indeed, the tips of nameless fingers gnawed off as the weeks crept so achingly by. Nameless fingers belonging to nameless palms, and boy you should see this nameless face. The maggots did a fine job I tell ya, boy! A fine job indeed, on making sure the eye sockets were thoroughly fleshed out and that little bit of cartilage that held the nose up, sometimes too far, was long gone. Only dark smudges painted on the front of the skull like some stupid battle face paint.

Was it stupid though?

No one was around to think such things; however, only crows, murders and murders of them… Cats every fuckin’ which way you turn, because “wouldn’ yeh no’id themsh pet-shki pet houshe ratsh be fuckin’ into da’nigh til da shun come hollerin cross the bay”, or so 99 year old African Ms. Jonesie would say if she was still alive. But she was one of the first waves to be taken to Jesus, right in her own bathroom and roont her curtinsh, as a mad’r fack.

Some deer skittered and scattered along with various other birds but mainly in the residential areas there were crows, cats, and packs of wild dogs… And bodies. Millions and millions of rotting and decaying corpses of the people who used to crawl over this planet like fleas hot and heavy with the Bubonic Plague.

Except… it was not the Black Plague that took these people to Heaven.

Nay, it was the branch of government sworn to protect these people, yes…

It was their own military, their own good ole boys, their own guardians that rode in on their hyper teched out tanks and modern whisper-quiet guns and shot everything with two eyes, a heartbeat, and a protest. Well, the pretty eyed ones didn’t die so fast. No, they had to be held down and dumped into before they were forced to meet their maker.

“But WHY?!” They ALL cried out in horror and terror… And they were ALL met with the same answer.

Laughter… And then BANG! Darkness.

The United States Government issued the death warrant of its 340 million habitants through the United States Military. Every single branch of its now totalitarian government was unleashed with absolutely no orders of backing down.

Hell knows no wrath like a scorned king, marked by the deep lines of betrayal by his own people in his face. A pissed off woman who just found out she was pregnant and then left by her pissant baby daddy pales profoundly to the rage the President of the United States felt for his people.

At least, that is what HE perceived. You see, the President also had a boss, believe it or not. He was invisible, HIGHLY classified, HIGHLY dangerous, but every fucking where on the god damn planet… Yet his boss had not ONE cell of his being toeing around ANY rock or drinking ANY filtered water here on this planet.

He wasn’t stupid, not like they were but he wasn’t gonna tell them that. He wasn’t gonna tell anyone that because then maybe one of them might get smart and cut off communication with him and he desperately needed someone on the other side to keep good tabs on everything.

Soon, he thought. Soon the end will be here, and everything will be okay.

But absolutely NONE of that shit matters anymore because now, 6 weeks to be exact from the first bullet shot, every single person has died, either out of starvation or salvation or revelation, you take your pick, now.

All those ideas of a New Age and thoughts on hope and hopes on thought and dreams of a better day and even those got damn terrors that made those punk ass little kids piss the bed were gone…

Dead…

Dead with a dead country.

☘️ Genshin OC 🌊

Name: Dunor Anur

Region: Fontaine

Element: Hydro

Weapon: Catholic

Value: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Prototype: Nudibranch or Sea Bunny

Anur emerged from the depths of the Fontaine sea, now lives mainly on the surface.

♥️ Like it:

Like many Fontaine people, Anur likes diving

A warm day with a light rain when it alternates with the sun

Sweet (but not too sweet)

Chewing random herbs

Coolness and cool drinks (ice cream is added)

❌ I don't like:

Salt is in food when there is too much of it. At first, Anur found it difficult to get used to eating even with a small amount of spices. The situation was the same with sweets, but after a while it got into the taste (although its measure of sugar is still small)

Too warm/hot temperatures

⚔️ The action, imitating Rizli, is visually hand-to-hand, but Anur is a Catholic. (The techniques look different, but the essence is taken from the specified character)

🔍 Role in the squad: sap-domager, gives hydro-infusion, gathers in MS and Hydro damage. It can be used as a character "in your pocket" - her E-shirt gives a small round hydro field at the feet of an active character. The radius is not large, but after using the E-shki, the MS of the active character increases by 40% of the MS of the Anur. The hydrofield reacts well with other elements - the strength of the reactions depends on the Max. MS Anur.

The explosion of the Anur element increases its MS by 50-60% of the maximum, these stats are active for shooting on another active character (MS of the active character + a percentage of MS of Anur).

"A boot...?" He's briefly puzzled by the comparison until he manages to wrack through his mind, mustering what little he could remember from the few times he'd even bothered to look at a globe and come to think of it, he could vaguely remember seeing something shaped like a boot on there! That was actually pretty cool! "Have you ever been to Russia or Italy, then?"

"There is nothing like catching some magic tricks!" He nods happily at the idea, seeing the appeal in it. His eyes widened in amazement at this guy getting offers to do his own shows! "Las Vegas, huh? That must be a pretty big deal! But it makes sense why you'd want to stay with your group, too," Did that mean they all performed magics and tricks together? "Where is your group now, anyway?"

"Heh, I'd love to see a card trick!" Would it be the one where he was asked to pick a card and the magician would somehow know his card? Maybe a unique shuffling trick? Oh, he was so excited to see what lay in wait for him!

"Ramen is fantastic!" There was no arguing with him there, ramen was an absolute favourite! Although his follow up options were pretty fantastic, as well! "Yakiniku is always great - the meat is always so juicy and fantastic!" He rubbed his belly hungrily at the mention of deliciously cooked meat. "PIro...shki?" He tilts his head to the side, trying the word out on his tongue, listening carefully as the other male listed off each and every ingredient. "Mushrooms, beef and scallions," He mulls them each over, nodding approvingly. "That honestly sounds fantastic - and it's great that there's sweet versions, too!" He hoped he'd get a chance to try it one day. "As for me, my favourite without question is ramen, especially beef bowls! The texture of the noodles, the quality of the broth and the perfectly cut slices of beef, topped with an amazing hard boiled egg!"

"Great!" He approached the vending machine, now quickly moving to pay for his ticket, grabbing it from the machine dispenser. Stepping aside to make room, he gestures to the machine. "Your turn!"

"Ah, okay! Geography's never been one of my strong suits but I'm always happy to hear about other places!" Outside of a short school trip to Hawaii, he had never really ventured outside of Japan for any substantial amount of time - so he was naturally always happy to meet any foreigners and to hear any stories they might have from their homes.

"I never thought about just how busy a magician's schedule was - but I bet your tricks make people really happy," He'd always harboured a childlike fascination with magic tricks, something which even now, hadn't gone away. He could only imagine how happy it would make people, especially children.

"You make your own sushi, huh? That's pretty impressive - do you have any particular favourite food in Japan?" Now this he was very much curious to know - not only was food a great icebreaker, but just in general, it was interesting to learn about someone else's tastes - sometimes your favourite food could say a lot about you!

The ride down the escalator was a brisk one and he spent much of it fidgeting as he waited for his feet to once more hit solid ground. With a smile, he continued to eagerly trot through the pathways taking them closer to the subway station.

"Heh well, if you don't mind then...!" His cheeks flushed as he nodded his head, not wishing to argue with Nikolai's generosity. "I think I see some ticket machines not far from here! How about we go and get our tickets now?"

So... Let’s talk Eden’s Zero

Well Eden’s Zero comes out today, (but let’s face it we all read it a few days ago) and even though we don't have that much to go off of, many people seem to already be judging it. It isn't fair to judge something when you've barely seen anything from it, or know nothing of its potential or where its going. its just the start and just like how you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, you shouldn't judge it by just its first chapter alone either. Especially when its a manga, and it has many more installments than normal books do.

On another note, I personally love Eden’s Zero. I immediately fell in love with Shiki and Rebecca. Rebecca has a huge appetite just like me, and Shiki is so naive about the outside world, it made me laugh so hard. He’s never even seen a girl before! it makes me wonder what other crazy things he might do throughout the manga. Being raised my machines his whole life things are sure to be interesting.

Also, it really is great to see Happy again. But I guess he isn't an exceed anymore, just a regular talking cat. I wonder what the story is behind him this time. Or maybe this world has a planet full of talking cats?

Not to mention Rebecca’s a YouTuber!! Well not really, but she does make videos to upload to a channel and that’s the basic job of a YouTuber, so thats technically what she is. I feel like I can relate so much more to her now. I mean, she has a profession that in this day and age has become very popular and that people can actually make a living off of. She's so much more relatable then anyone in Fairy Tail was. Not that I didn't love them, of course I did, but the characters in the Fairy Tail world we’re all wizards, they had magical abilities then real people couldn't possibly have. it seems like in this story things will be more explained with science. Things don't run off of weird energy like in Fairy Tail. Well, we still don't know that much about Ether Gear, but I’m guessing it has scientific origins?

Regardless of everything we can speculate and talk about, we still basically know nothing about Eden’s Zero. Where are Rebecca’s parents? How will she and Shiki get into the trouble they get into if they're harmless YouTubers. They aren't going to be going around taking down big bad groups of people like in Fairy Tail. Or are they?

Bye guys, see ya next week!

[alifeasvivid]

Your headcanons and writing give me life. Like good job on your thoughts, I wish i could be as articulate as you!

^////^ oh gracious! Thank you so much! I’m really glad that you take pleasure in my writing! As for wishing you could be as articulate as I am, it’s really just a matter of hard work and maybe occasionally a dash of talent! I’ve been writing fiction and fanfiction since I was 10 years old (and before that I was always making up stories in my head) and I did my Bachelor’s degree in Fiction at college, but you don’t even have to go that far to get good at it! The main ingredients for success at any skill are desire and determination to always improve and learn from others! Specifically, if you want to get better at writing, you should read A LOT (and good stuff, yanno, not just fanfic ;).) Also, write whenever you can, write whatever comes into your head, it doesn’t have to be good, just do it! 

Okay enough of my totally unsolicited advice haha! I sincerely thank you for taking the time to message me; feedback is what keeps me going!

After an almost year-long effort, an ethnic slur has finally been removed from federal use in all geographic landmarks.

The term “squaw”, a derogatory name for a Native American woman, has been removed from all geographic features in federal use by the Department of Interior. There were more than 650 landmarks that used the term nationwide, according to a database by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, with 32 located in Michigan.

“I feel a deep obligation to use my platform to ensure that our public lands and waters are accessible and welcoming,” Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland said in a statement. “That starts with removing racist and derogatory names that have graced federal locations for far too long.”

In Michigan, the renamed sites are mostly lakes and streams scattered across the Upper and Lower Peninsula.

Delta County saw the most name changes for one area with four sites being renamed— Squaw Point is now Mino-kwe Point, Little Squaw Creek is now Shki-kwe Creek, Squaw Creek is now South Mino-kwe Creek and another Squaw Creek in the same county is now Nookomis kabekong.

Alger, Calhoun, Lapeer and Marquette County’s have the next highest amount of renamed sites with three locations each having been updated.

In November 2021, a Secretarial Order from Haaland officially declared the word to be a derogatory term and created the Derogatory Geographic Names Task Force to formally begin removing it from federal use.

The word has roots in Algonquian languages from Indigenous tribes in the Northeastern United States and Canada, but has been used for centuries in a derogatory context to demean Native American women.

The Interior Department said the task force navigated complexities during the renaming effort like evaluating multiple public or Tribal recommendations for the same feature, features that crossed several jurisdictions, inconsistent spelling of certain Native language names and balancing opinions from various proponents.

The task force received more than 1,000 recommendations from the public for name changes, according to the Department of Interior.

While the new names are immediately effective for federal use, the public may continue to propose name changes for any features through the original process facilitated by the Board on Geographic Names that acts on a case-by-case basis.

Derogatory names have previously been identified and replaced by the Secretary of the Interior or the Board on Geographic Names.

In 1962, then-Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall identified the N-word as derogatory, and directed that the Board on Geographic Names develop a policy to eliminate its use. In 1974, the Board on Geographic Names identified a derogatory term for “Japanese” and eliminated its use.

Another Secretarial Order from last November created a Federal Advisory Committee for the Interior Department to formally receive advice from the public regarding additional derogatory terms, derogatory terms on federal land units and the process for derogatory name reconciliation. The Interior Department plans to announce the status of that committee in the coming weeks.

The national list of new names and map of locations can be found on the U.S. Geological Survey website.

i now realize that saying "SHKI" can still be ambiguous
