1. Healing- (Raise bread and wine/water) O Asklepios, son of noble Apollo,

hear our prayer, father of surgeons.

Released from a mortal womb by your noble father and imbued with the great healing knowledge of Kheiron, your skill in medicine across broad Earth and in the heavens is without equal, Glowing one. Ophiokhos, Serpent-Holder, healer of the gods,

Grace us with your gifts and send dreams

that restore and guide us and reveal the

mysteries of life and well-being. With your kind-hearted daughter Hygieia, heal those who are sick among us, our children, parents, spouses and partners and all those whom we hold dear [and especially the mortal known as __________]. Grant them a quick and uneventful recovery. Soothe their bodies and calm their spirits that they may enjoy a long and full life and return to honoring the gods. And we shall honor you with bloodless offerings and sing your praises at all our feasts. - Original prayer by Melissa Gold, inspired by Chris Aldridge

2. Healing- Kind Asklepios, son of far-shooting Apollo,

first of physicians, swiftest of healers, trusted

mender of broken men and women, through you do the lame walk, the sick renew their good health; through you are wounds healed, bones knit, and illness burnt away; by your goodness and might do we regain joy in our lives. Asklepios, friend of mankind, I pray to you, I seek your favor. May I be healed of this affliction, may I recover through and through, may vigor and vitality return to me. Asklepios, compassionate one, learned one, resourceful one, I ask your blessing. - https://greekpagan.com/2011/02/20/prayer-to-asklepios-for-healing/

2. Before surgery- Bright Asklepios, father of physicians, provider of health and healing to men, giver of wisdom and craft to those

who attend the ill and the injured:

Asklepios, as I entrust my life and my well-being to those who do your will, make steady the hands of the surgeon, make keen her eye and her wit, grant to her all knowledge and skill required for your work. Asklepios, friend of mankind, grant to me the strength and resilience to recover from all wounds and return to full good health. - https://greekpagan.com/category/prayers-2/asclepius/

Sweet memories

He took a deep breath as he approached the onyx temple.

No matter what god favored your citty you had shrines to all major gods and a few minor gods if you wanted to cover certain bases.

This one though... This one was crucial in every city. Some of the rich villa folk even had their own shrines to appease him even if they worshiped a different god. Just in case theirs did something to upset Him.

He knew most soldiers prayed before battle to ward off their fears and insite that of their enemies. He needed more help than most.

He crossed the treshhold and felt the weight of the darkness press upon him. Dark fabrics covered the walls, only the light of his torch allowed him to see the lavish carvings in the walls.

Depicted reminders of what could befall those who angered him. And there, at the altar, a depiction of the lord of shadows.

It was masterful craftmanship. Ivory skin contrasting against pitchblack eyes, hair and armor that exuded darkness.

Everything within him begged to run. But he had to push forward. If he couldn't do this, he could not hope to survive in battle.

He set down his torch and began the prayer his parents taught him.

Asking to lift his fears and instead have it chain down his enemies... But that felt stupid. The enemies were no doubt asking for the same thing. This way everyone would just get stuck with someone else's fears and no one got anywhere even if he heeded every prayer. He didn't need to get rid of his fear he...

"I want to harness my fear so it may be my strenght," he realized.

"Now, that, sounds interesting," a voice echoed through the space just as his torch got snuffed out, plunging him in total darnkess.

He jumped to his feet, reaching for his sword.

"Oh that's cute. But understandable." His torch came to life and on the alter now sat a man. Raven hair peaked from under his hood which cast a shadow over his face only revealing faint purple light where eyes reflected his torchlight. He could just barely see the lower half of his face. Just enough to make out the suple lips tipped in a little smirk.

He was dressed in dark robes of a material that no mortal hands would be able to make. More suple than the finest silk. Almost like it was woven from the shadows. His frame slender but strong.

He was sitting on the alter with one hand resting on his knee, his other suporting his weight. His other leg was bare as it was swinging carelessly over the edge.

It would be provocative if it wasn't so terifying...

No, no it was still attractive. Very much so.

"I'd grab something to protect myself too if i were mortal and got the attention of the terror of the skies," he teased playfully.

His voice left him. He was here. Really here. He'd heard of Gods answering prayers directly. But mostly through disguises and dreams... Not... Not so openly...

"Virgil... God of Darkness, master of fears, shepherd of nightmares..." he greeted.

The man chuckled, a low rumbling sound that stole his breath away.

"Wow, full title huh? And what might your name be? Mortal with the sword?" he wondered.

That was when he remembered that he was very pointlessly aiming his sword at a being older than time.

He sheethed it. "Apologies my liege. I am Orpheus," he bowed respectfully, still a bit in shock.

"Darkness of night? Oh, oh i like that. It's like you were born to be mine," the god said, sounding amused.

Orpheus' heart skipped a beat. Unsure how to respond.

"Hmmmm," the god mused taking in a deep breath as if smelling the air. "You're tasty too," he said.

"E- excuse me?" he stammered, completely taken of guard.

"You're fear mortal. I can taste it in the air. Normally I have to touch people to really feed off it unless there is a lot of people who are very scared. Natural disasters, wars. It's not very becomming but a god's gotta eat. In a sense." The god explained.

"Now," he said as his hands reached up to his hood and lowered it to reveal the most handsome face Orpheus had ever laid eyes on.

"Let's talk about harnassing that fear of yours shall we?"

Virgil was... Well he was something else. If Orpheus didn't look at him directly he could almost pretend they were both mortal and he was just a snarky friend. Almost.

He was surprisingly laid back for a god everyone feared above all others.

"So the first thing you gotta get out of your head is that fear is a bad thing. You can't harness it if you want to be rid of it. Fear keeps people from doing dumb things for no good reason. Like set themselves on fire or whatever. Got it?"

Orpheus nodded. "It makes us consider before we act rashly... Sometimes," he added that last part thinking of his friend Damocles. He was... He was fun and all and the most loyal friend you could ask for. But Orpheus needed to get him out of trouble all the time.

"Excelent! You're kinda smart too. Guess there is hope for you humans after all," Virgil grinned.

They were sitting on a hillside overlooking the citty. Or it would overlook the citty in the day. It was night now and Orpheus couldn't see much. He could see Virgil sitting next to him in the light of his torch though.

"You gotta aknowledge it and respect that your brain is trying to warn you that this might be a dumb idea. Like when you came to me. You thought that it might backfire horribly. But you felt that it was your only option so you pushed forward anyway. Cause you are a brave idiot."

That took Orpheus by complete surprise.

"Me? You think I'm brave?" A god... The god of fear just called him brave? Maybe he'd tripped and fell and hit his head?

He must be at the infermary having some kind of dream right now.

"And an idiot. Of course you are brave. You can't be brave without being afraid. The more scared you are the more courage it takes to do the thing that frightens you.

Fear distinguishes an act of bravery from an act of stupidity. Now just because you are afraid does not exempt you from being stupid. It's about the intent. Is this all to prove yourself? Stupid. Someone else's opinion is not worth messing with any god for. Especially me. If I weren't so darn nice, you'd be in big trouble for pointing that sword at me." The teasing smirk and the tone made it sound less like a veiled threat.

"Is it for like... Noble reasons. Protecting others. Justice... Then it's stupid and brave... Still stupid though," he clarified.

Orpheus nodded. "Fear doesn't make me a coward. How i respond to it decides if i'm a hero," he whispered.

Virgil roled his eyes. "Humans and their hero complexes," he sighed.

"Now third. The hard part," he said as he got up and pulled Orpheus with him. The torch planted besides them casting it's glow upon them. His hands held by the god he'd somehow been having a pleasant conversation with.

Virgil looked at their linked hands for a moment before bringing them to Orpheus' heart. Gods he was so close.

"Use it. Feel it, know it, and use it as energy. Like i do. It can paralize or it can make you the fiercest warrior there ever was. Enabling you to fight harder than anyone else. Or run for your life if that's what you choose. It's your choice, Orpheus. Choose wisely every time and you'll live to be a legend. Be warned though. Legends don't live long, though they are imortal."

Orpheus could hear sadness in the God's tone.

"My liege," he said softly.

"Virgil. Call me Virgil Orpheus. If you are to be my champion. To show them what fear truly means for me. Then we can drop formalities don't you think?" he suggested.

Orpheus nodded. "Yes... Virgil. Are you okay?" he wondered.

Virgil chuckled, a sound Orpheus found most enchanting. It made him want to pick up his quil again and write paragraphs just to preserve something of it's sound for eternity. Which was idiotic because Virgil would outlive him by many many milenia.

"Yes dear Orpheus." Why did that make his heart stop. "Just remembered why I don't usually make house calls. Don't make me regret it," he warned.

Orpheus nodded. "I won't let you down," he swore.

Virgil "Good. Because these cults who think I'm cool with wanton murder and terror are giving me a bad rep. Go forth my champion, with my symbol and my wisdom. If you survive, I mgiht have more gifts for you."

And then he dissapeared. Leaving only a gorgeous gem on Orpheus' tunic. It was pitchblack but in the light of the torch, it flickered hues of purple.

This ok? Want more?

@lovelivingmydreams

You've captured them perfectly and I love this so much!ahhhhhh!!

[johahavenumbers]

What about "Matthew the emotinel suport raven"

Looking for sandman fic recommendations! Specifically looking for anything friendship centric, preferably not dreamling (or any romantic/sexual relationships). Something short-ish (<20k words) if possible. Other than that, anything goes!

Thanks yall!

[atmyhiraeth]

I love Gina in the bunker bc it gives her the chance to become the teacher she's always wanted to be but imagine for a second Gina on the Ring:

Raven having a close, dedicated friend and having that support system she's lacked like EVERY season

Gina being 110% supportive of Emori learning from Raven but especially on the tough days

Gina having no negative feelings toward Echo and the two bonding over pretending to like Monty's algae bc polite bb's. Furthermore Gina going out of her way to be kind to Echo while Bellamy's still learning to forgive the warrior bc she grew up with Bell and she knows how he can be.

Gina, Echo and Emori exchanging ark-earth stories !!

GINA AND HARPER BONDING OVER THEIR MOM FRIEND ENERGY

Gina watching Bell and Echo inch from friends to morethan and wiggling her brows at Bellamy like 'oh there's something there don't try to fool me boy' and lowkey encouraging it

Taking dinner to Murphy ceases to be a punishment because she just does it automatically every meal but is sure to touch Emori's shoulder or kiss her head in passing to make it clear she's not choosing sides but John needs to eat.

Just imagine having a suportive bean like Gina in the family up in space

🌟O espírito animal do Corvo, um guia sobre destemor e determinação🌟 Você já observou um grupo de corvos perseguindo pássaros muito maiores que eles? Esse comportamento faz do corvo um totem a ser chamado quando você precisa de suporte para lidar com adversidades. Se o Corvo o escolheu para guiar, você será encorajado a desenvolver sua vontade pessoa e poder e a falar sua verdade mais abertamente. Os Corvos sempre parecem capazes de sempre conseguir o que almejam, seja isso um pedaço de comida deixado na estrada ou invadir ninhos de outros pássaros para roubar ou comer seus ovos. Aqueles com o Corvo como espírito guia podem observar uma certa tendência a serem manipulativos ou travessos. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 🌟Corvo's animal spirit, a guide to fearlessness and determination🌟 Have you ever seen a group of crows chasing birds much larger than themselves? This behavior makes the crow a totem to be called when you need support to deal with adversity. If the Crow chose you to guide, you will be encouraged to develop your personal will and power and to speak your truth more openly. Crows always seem capable of always getting what they want, whether it's a piece of food left on the road or invading other birds' nests to steal or eat their eggs. Those with the Raven as a guiding spirit may observe a certain tendency to be manipulative or mischievous.

FLASHBACK !

usar de sinceridade para com raven, estava sendo pior do que poderia ter imaginado; na realidade, não havia pensado que precisaria dizer o que estava se passando, não quando sua intenção era mantê-lo longe daquela confusão, assim como havia feito com calithea e errado, assim como tentou fazer com lizbeth em outro momento. mas diante de outrem, tudo se transformava mil vezes mais intenso, pior; afinal, eram melhores amigos antes de qualquer coisa, havia sido suporte para ele quando precisou e lembrava-se em como ele havia a ajudado momentos antes da corrida de dragões, a fazendo perceber a importância que ele tinha em sua vida. contudo, era muito difícil encará-lo, não quando ele a questionava sobre ter mentido.  belladonna bufou, não por estar irritada, mas por não ter uma resposta digna e isso a irritava, mas também temia que ele acabasse se afastando pelas mentiras.      ‘     não sei, rav.         disse com sinceridade.          ‘      não queria colocar você nessa confusão, acabar o colocando em perigo quando…não conseguia lidar com meus poderes, com as alucinações que quase, me fizeram machucar pessoas.          havia um peso estranho nos ombros, como se ser humana lhe custasse caro, como se falar a verdade lhe afundasse no solo, a mantendo presa ali.          ‘       não, não sabem. não contei sobre o veneno, logo, o tratamento não faria efeito.       assentiu, percebendo que precisava falar o que sentia.          ‘     porque uma parte de mim, raven, sente que eu mereço tudo isso. uma parte de mim, durante a caçada, pensou que não aguentaria a mordida do basilisco e seguiu em frente de proposito, mesmo com todos os riscos, era isso que eu desejava.         despejou os sentimentos que a preenchiam.         ‘        então me desculpe não ter te contado a verdade, tem total direito de ficar chateado, isso é fato. mas não faria nada diferente, não quando mantê-lo afastado, significa que ficará bem, longe da ameaça que eu poderia ser.     e sou, completou mentalmente.

ʿ ִ ⨳ ⭑                                     não havia como voltar atrás e fingir que estava tudo bem, donna parecia ter percebido isso e graças à glinda começava a despejar as verdades. raven ouvia de maneira atenta, os olhos vagando pela face dela em busca de algum sinal de que estava mentindo de novo... mas a quem queria enganar? se ela mentisse, ele provavelmente não perceberia de novo, agora já não sabia mais se a conhecia tão bem a esse ponto de perceber as mentiras. claramente não fazia. ❝ ── eu disse a você antes, naquele dia do cão infernal. não existia possibilidade de fugir sem você, eu estava me colocando em perigo ali na frente do monstro de bom grado porque eu não ia deixar você sozinha ali. o que te faz pensar que eu escolheria algo diferente em relação a essa situação agora? ❞ questionou. ❝ ── você não pode tomar decisões por mim. eu sou dono de minhas próprias ações. entendo não querer me colocar em perigo, eu também preferia enfrentar qualquer coisa a ver você passando algo mas... se já está no meio de uma situação assim, a escolha não era sua. ❞ engoliu em seco e lambeu os lábios ressecados, assentindo. eram preocupantes as palavras alheias, mais do que a situação em si. seguir em frente mesmo sabendo dos riscos? colocar-se em perigo ao ponto de saber que morreria e continuar? quanto tempo ela se sentia assim? ❝ ── seus motivos são válidos por serem o que você sente, mas isso não significa que é real, bella. você sente que merece isso... mas não merece. ❞ voltou a se aproximar dela, não hesitando em tocar de novo a face dela, os dígitos quentes encostando na pele suave. ❝ ── você nunca poderia ser uma ameaça pra mim. ❞ negou com a cabeça, seu toque ao invés de puxar a energia pesada, compartilhava de sua própria com ela. uma troca, uma via de mão dupla de novo como fizeram no dia do monstro na estrada. ❝ ── não estou chateado com você, eu entendo o que te levou a fazer tudo isso. ❞ afinal, para protegê-la também tomaria atitudes idiotas. ❝ ── só... não tome mais decisões por mim. me deixe escolher se existe riscos pra mim ou não. ❞

Fieldwork # 3

This articles relate to Chapter 5 Socialization. This article talks about a show called “Toddlers & Tiaras” that airs on TLC. This show is about toddler beauty pageants who participants are normally middle to upper class citizens. In the article it talked about the large amounts of Americans that watch this show and how these pageants affect society. This show is suporting the concept of mass media to use toddler pageants to exploit the participanting upper class toddlers’ talent. Also shows like this make it seems like it okay for the upper class children to act in a disrespectful way towards their parents in order to get their way. Meanwhile the lower class tend to be a little more uncomfortable because they train there children to respect the elders and by watching this show could possibly reverse the teachings their children are taught.

That’s So Raven this episode was about Cory finding out about all the great inventions African Americans have made. He was put on punishment and all his privileges of leaving the house were taking away because he was not taking writing his black history month report serious. Once he actually took the report serious and completely his parents have him his “freedom” back.

Virgil gets attact by a bigger cat and Roman saves him from harm and there reliship gets better because Virgil needs to see the vet and Roman's worse about the hurt kitten -  Kyelynn on AO3

Some more for the Animal AU...

It was one warm day and Thomas had left the door to the backyard open, Roman was outside keeping watch of his kingdom. Logan's wing had healed and the raven was outside with Virgil playing around in the grass, the kitten chased flies and butterflies giving away small chirps from time to time, Patton lied snoozing in the sun on the porch. Clearly content with life.

Thomas sent a look to the terrarium to see how Deceit was enjoying the warmth from the sun that fell into his living space, making the yellow scales of the Yellow rat snake to glimmer, even if the dark stripes were darker than on a fullgrown snake.

A angered caw suddenly came from outside followed by a cry of pain Thomas never wanted to hear, he rushed to the door to see how Logan was figthing a brown fullgrown cat, Virgil was running in the other direction, halting and tumbling, running thowards the bushes.

 "Virgil! come here kitty." Thomas called the kitten halted and looked at him, giving away a loud mew and started to run thowards him instead.

Logan gave away a paniced craw when the brown cat got past him and rushed thowards Virgil who gave away a paniced mew and ran as fast as he could. Thomas hurried over to cach the kitten before the brown cat Thomas never seen before caugh him.

Just before the brown cat threw itself at Virgil, came a white lightning out from the bushes and Roman threw himself at the brown cat hissing and spitting. Thomas gently picked up Virgil from the ground, to investigate the wounds, Logan landed on his shoulder giving away a worried chatter. Thomas turning his attention back to Roman and the brown cat, to see how fur was sent flying.

 "Patton!" Thomas said causing the Goldendoodle to sit up, tail thumping loudly agaisnt the porch. "Split them up!" Thomas pointed at the figthing cats who were on ecual terms in strenght. Patton barked and ran thowards the two cats, the brown cat hissed and fled when the big fluffy dog came up behind Roman, Roman hissed back before sigigng down and licking his paw only to mewl loudly wehn Patton licked him on the back of the head.

Roman trudded over to Thomas the human sighed when he saw the damage.

 "I guess i'll need to go to the vet again..." he sighed, Logan to nodded in agreement.

At the station the receptionist only had to take one look at Thomas and see the raven on his shoulder and the cat carrier to know who to expect.

 "Oh so little Virgil is here again?"

 "Yeah... and someone who hasn't been here before... also Logan only here as moral suport to Virgil." the bird puffed up and cawed a bit. A white paw shot out from the door in the carrier and swatted at a dog who got to close two hisses came from the carriage one from Roman and one from Virgil.

The doctor looked at the two cats, Logan sat on the table preeening Virgil who sat next to him calmed by the Raven's and Thoma's precense, Roman sniffed the air before looking at Thomas with ears stroked back.

 "Oh no!" was all Thomas had to say before Roman bolted of the table and hid in the sink. "...Roman..." the cat hissed in return, showing clearly his dislike of the place. the door opened and the doctor entered.

 "So let's start with Virgil, he seems to be the calmest one here." the doctor said wiht a smile, as he gently got a look on the kitten's wounds the brown cat inflicted. "They're not as deep as they could have been, no stitches needed, some medecine and no wild endevours outside and he will be back to normal in no time."

 "That's good." Thomas exhaled in releif, the doctor put virgil back down and the kitted walked back to Logan's side. the doctor then turned to Roman the gat growled and tried to become one with the sink.

 "I don't think i've met you before."

 "He's Roman and he kinda jsut wandered in and claimed my house as his..." the doctor laughed before he scoped up Roman from the sink, earning hisses and growl and Roman even yowled to state his disspleasure.

 "You are one talkative cat." the Doctor laughed

 "He's a bit dramatic..."

Roman was placed on the table and Thomas saw how both Virgil and Logan semed to make noises simmilar to laughter, Roman hissed at them as the doctor chekcied up on him.

In the end Roman was given a cone and had gotten a few stistches on the deeps wounds and bandages and the Ragdoll cat was NOT happy.

he was growling the whole way home and tried several times to get the cone of. Virgil was laughing but Patton was sniffing both of them, since they didn't smell the same anymore.

 "My coat! my beautiful coat! it's runed! i've been ruined! and i got the cone of shame! " Roman yowled on his spot on the sofa. Virgil burst out laughing again falling to his side on the floor, Logan chuckled as well.

 "Roman, please." Thomas sighed trying to concentrate on the vlog he was currently editing.

 "I don't see what the problem is." Patton said said booping Roman's nose with his own, earning a hiss and a clawless swat to the face. "It's a perfect lamp costume." he said tail swaying and a happy look on his face

 "I AM NOT A SHINY STICK!" Roman snarled.

 "You look a lot like one." Virgil snickered.

Roman punched on him, Virgil scrambed away still laughing.

 "CAN YOU TWO STOP!" Thomas cried as Roman ran over his arms and the computer in his lap as he chased the kitten who dove in under the TV the cone stopping Roman from following, he swatted as far in as he could.

 "Come out here and fight you little rascal!" Roman growled.

Thomas groaned loudly from the sofa.

 "What is my LIFE!?" he cried out.

 "Infinitesimal" Logan cawed from his spot on the curtain rod. Thomas only groaned again.

Later Thomas foud Roman grooming Virgil who was cleary not happy about it from the way he constantly tried to get away from the fullgrown cat, only for Roman to bite his scruff and pull him back in.

Raven Scope e garantia: Vale a pena comprar?

Vamos falar de garantia de equipamentos como Scanner e Osciloscópio?Quando eu cito que optei por um aparelho nacional, com suporte de verdade e agregado ao osciloscópio geralmente ouço muita coisa. Mas está aí no vídeo um acontecimento real, fator relevante na decisão de compra. A minha pinça COP, durante o uso começou a gerar falhas para pegar o sinal, principalmente falando de linha Honda.

The Answer...

Since my last entry I've managed to give up all processed sugars, a very worthwhile and achievable goal. We need a healthy health minister here in Quebec. Its so depressing watching his cholesterol go up with the Covid19 cases. This Pandemic is a night mare. None of us can escape. We have to protect our health, our relatives our neighbors. Watch our nerves and stress levels. With meditation, yoga Im keeping as a level head as possible. I'm so glad I stuck with my goals and made the changes that I did. The benefits are astounding. I'm sleeping better. I feel stronger for all the good things that I do for myself and others, even under these Covid Skies and gruesome revolt against this Pandemic stuff speared headed by #45. I do this all for myself and everyone else. I'm in my constant moment, they should be free of pain and more constructive than they were and that they are. I have come a long way. I successfully replaced the cutting for exercises, good diet and journaling. My moods are not as erratic anymore. The sugar and process foods were a constant trigger tilI I could give those up. So 3 years now process food free and 2 years sugar free. I went from from not being able to eat to being ravenous for healthy food. My brain likes it better too there is no doubt. Im also following a standard sleep hygene model now. After the car accident I was lucky if I could get a few hours a night. There is a pay off for all of it. I swear! I didn't get to this place overnight. Took feeling better about my body, situation and prognosis to get past all the nastiness. You have to keep at it, get at it from all sides, full suport for your health. You must respect and listen to your body and go slowly. Slow and steady wins this race. One day I will be in remission from Chronic Fatigue and pain. My brain Sybil with all the drama, turns out she was crying out for help. I am helping myself as best I can. Good diet, energy management, self massage- do not neglect your tendons especially if you suffer from Chronic Pain and fatigue. Self care should be a top 1 priority. On the opposite end I've had a few bad falls and head injuries since too. I'm no rookie to repetative injuries either as a result of walking with crutches, vertigo and a 75% numb body. It always amazes me how tough I realy am. I get back up, dust myself off and carry on. Like an energizer bunny. Its challenging. Physically, mentaly and even spiritually sometimes. Illness and permanant handicapes are no laughing mater, till I'm finally the one laughing. We think we know everything. One day you realize that its a whole different ball game. Cause and effect. The real game changer for me is knowing that we are always growing, healing, changing and learning; no matter what. Acceptance is key.

Once we've got ourselves sorted. We have to take a stand for what is right. Peacefully Demand Humaitarian Treatment across the Globe. The weak must be protected. That's our at risk people like 1st Nations, the elderly, the young and the infirmed. As a human on this planet. We all should have Basic Personal Rights and Freedoms. Access to clean drinking water, education, nutrients rich foods, equal wages and equal treatment regardless. We all should be engaged in Ecological and Agricultual Preservation. Climate issues are just as important. These are human global issues. I say... We all need to take a proactive roll and work together despite our uniquness and be united by our sameness. Humans of Planet Earth! Let us rise above the bull shit and fix this broken ass world by us and protect nature and humankind from this moment on!!! Follow the golden rule, look to solutions rather than violence. Chances are they are more scared of you. Step into your personal power, it knows no gender, shape or color. Yes 1 person can make a difference

Drunk

Ok so I tried to write a story of Angelica being insecure and done in general with life ,in the first part is more hamliza but If I continue it...it will get better.I am going to call out the blog that I know suport this ship and If you want me to continue this..just tell me. This story takes place in "take a break" ,in which Alex doesn't take the break but starts being more close to his family

@cumulowimpus

She was visiting her sister and brother in law for the first time in forever. She was invited by her sweet sister to spend some time with them.When she arrived at the Hamilton house, the sun was low in the sky. The breeze had turned chill, and it whipped through her hair and skin.

She felt so good finally hugging her sister, her beautiful Eliza. Then Alexander, greeting her like a childhood friend. He looked at her with his intense,raven eyes. Those eyes just like a night sky that made Angelica's heart skip a beat, but she ignored it. They had a nice dinner, she helped with the dishes and then stood by the fire with the couple, talking about her new life in London and sometimes arguing with them, most of the time with Alexander, she liked it, then he was setting himself of fire over politics or random subjects, it was magnetic, electric. She felt weird looking at Eliza and Alexander touching, kissing or whispering sweet things at each other ears in front of her. She was happy for her dear sister, having the love of her like by her side.. Forever and ever.

"My love, you are stunning tonight" Alexander spoke in her ear, making her smile brighter than before.

Eliza was indeed stunning, such a rare beauty, confident, a delicate flower in apparence but strong, independent and smart on the inside. Wise and polite,  the best of wives and best of women.

Angelica looked at them with joy,  calming her shaky heart and feeling pace. Why couldn't she have the same with John? Her magnific John, so wise and powerful.Maybe the problem was her. She tries not to think of him and focus on them, the people she loves more on this universe than anyone else. She let herself smile, They were just perfection.

Angelica felt weird.

"I am afraid I have to go to bed now" Angelica says standing up

"I shall go to my study then, I have a lot of papers to finish " says standing up and helping Eliza as well, now sleppy.

"My dear, please, try to come to bed tonight and not on the chair"

"..Of course ,goodnight" he hesitates,going upstairs,

disappearing in the dark .

"I am very pleased to see you finally sadisfied, my lovely sister"

"Oh silly, don't be gealous, I will always love you more than my lover" she hugs her, Angelica responds to the embrace, trying her hardest not to cry.

"I don't deserve you Eliza, I love you so much.. "

"Dear sister, I love you too. Let's go to bed shall we?Oh, but first I want to check on my son"

And with that, the sisters go after Philipp, sleeping soundly in his bed,with toys around him.

"Look at him , isn't he perfect? "Eliza says, kissing him on the forehead making him giggle in his sleep. He looked a lot like his father but the smile was all Eliza's fault.

"Precious, just like his parents"

Elizabeth smiled proudly, then yawns walking over to her bedroom.

"Goodnight Angelica"

"Sweet dreams.. "

  She intended to do the same but then she passes by the door study of Hamilton.She touches the door handle, just with the tips of her fingers, trying to enter in ,then turned around, and then turned once more towards the door.That genius mind, working right now, she always wanted to stay by his side while doing his jod in the most perfect way possible.

She inhaled deeply, then let out a violent sigh, giving up on that thought and walking to the guests room, changing her dress to a nightgown.

Imediately she can't help but look at the mirror behind her. She was so ugly compared to her sisters, her gorgeous sister. She hated her body... She hated her face, her hair, her skin, her everything..In front of everybody she had to mantain her posture and confidence very high but right now,she didn't even felt like a human being. She just wanted to change her dress, get a book and go to bed, but those thoughts vanished away instantly, she wanted to drink, to forget about her husband, London, herself and most of all, Alexander. Just thinking about him or hearing his voice echoing in her head made shrivers crowing on her back.

She knows is wrong.. She wasn't supposed to.. But she drinked a lot of wine that night and all she could think about was how fucked up her life was, she wanted to die, to shatter the fancy glass of wine and to choke with the transparent pices in her throat. The void in her heart was eating her alive, washing away her colours, leaving behind a lifeless corpse.

She was walking away from her room, with the half empty bottle in her left hand, she tried to be quiet, walking in the hallway, down the stairs, finally out.
