#then they leave you to make new creations with more complexity and more free will

[ametunns]

THIS CONCEPT IS SO FAMILIAR WITH THE CAGE. And this idea can't leaving me-

Below I'll discuss the character Keeper in the BATDR; some guesses about the role of this new character in the Cage. Enjoy reading!

# The Keepers. In the BATDR >>>

ofc in the ink world this versions of the Keepers are works because -

a giant gear in the spine is not bad for balance when picked up a weight stuff in forward;

the third hand is nice for supporting a thing or a person (not just for correcting its back lol/j);

ability to flying is actually about movement, way to make a painful high-speed strike by massive left hand / catching by right hand. Рerhaps "crawling" on appendages rather than legs makes it easier to walk around the ruins of the studio. And once again - they can fly.

Despite the fact that they have yellow inside, which indicates the presence of a soul, they do not react to the Signal Towers. I can only suggest that Wilson created "Yellow ink", and inside Keeper are not "Golden ink". Otherwise the Golden ink would have provided a link to Demon power, and metal octopus would have been against Wilson sooner or later.

...I personally think that it is easier to get the lost one's soul with the help of saws, and then start changing the soul in order to place it inside something. Like make a "soul semblance" - "Yellow ink" as I called it; get fairly similar minds, which is ideal for Keeper.

In case he's design looks silly, slowly moved, pretty blind because of the game mechanic-

but if you take them as those who can:

performs certain tasks,

move through space almost without interference,

catch the intruder,

conduct an experiment,

or even performing small construction work (for example, conducting power grids through a train tunnel)-

Within the framework of the lore of the world, these creatures, as they are, have done a lot.

# But what about the previous version of Keeper? Let's check out >>>

This creation is much more complex than would be seen...

Yes, we saw how Boris was turned into Brutal. That the mind can be partially rewritten. The sawing process also has a rewriting process. But-

A hybrid of a living mind and metal structures for the first experiments...it sounds like rewriting biology so that the body doesn't go crazy and start self-destructing because of unperfected souls and the realization of what they has become. And even Wilson can't make a perfect soul if he invited Audrey in the Cycle.

...Aaa-and also can tell about the REAL HUMAN in IT'S CREATION AND BLOOD...but a little later-

Attempts to create Wilson own being is unstable...and that is why we'll can meet them in a Cage!!! :D

# Details in the photos >>>

First thing - is another hoses behind;

Second - he had 3 hands, and maybe one of them (as possible 4 hand) is free from the lockers; you can also see that the lower hand is thinner and the plate on the outside of the palm glitters;

Last thing - a familiar detail.

Nothing more...

but a general similarity to the concept

# His role in the Cage. Theories and thoughts >>>

It's interesting things...Let's back to the thought that it can be a human. How much it will affect the story? Well-

Role #1 - He's a living proof about experiment of humans.

...the Gent corporation literally drowned people in ink ("Fade of Black");

And there is a temporary antidote to ink in the form of the chemical "iron oxide", which also resembles blood ("The Lost Ones");

It seems that through chemistry and past research, Wilson was able to create colored ink, a way to get back to the real world, and in collaboration with Alice, who lives in half of his house, and with Ink Machine, he was already beginning to think about creating a Keeper. About getting "the first good soul"...Pick out the right clothes, became anyone from Arch Gate Pictures, not just a humble cleaner. But after understood the difficulties (let's say, with blood) and maybe managed to update the methods for creating ink creatures...And my theory "Yellow ink" from Lost Ones.

Due to the details, a human being in the creature is doesn't't look like something unexpected, but it would definitely be intriguing.

Role #2 - If he's able to talk, new information about the corporation. Maybe even about Alan Gray. Maybe gives some hints of how getting away from the Cage idk just a thought-

A human being who was trapped into a monster for someone else's purposes it's pretty similar to Henry...ahem

Role #3 - Abilities of the blood. Perhaps we'll see hints of blood power in Lone Wolf. But in essence - there will definitely be something new...and something more powerful.

...What role will he play for the Henry.. it's unclear:

It's easy to say - this is the enemy who thoughtlessly wants to kill the hero.

It's easy to say - we can have a possible "free it" quest for game necessaries.

Possible to say - two points together 🤝

The last thing what I wanted to say:

‼️ I'm praying LIKE HELL he's not leaked FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS like it was with all the new BATDR characters. Like Sammy-🥲

911 LS Tag Game

thanks @heartstringsduet @tellmegoodbye @reyesstrand !!

favorite character: tk and carlos <3

character you relate to most: hmm maybe carlos or marjan for different reasons

favorite episode: one is impossible. i give you: 3x04, 4x18, 4x12, 1x02, 5x07, and 2x08

hottest take: this show does a lot of telling instead of showing in terms of relationships (platonic or not) which makes so many of them less compelling. ex: paul refers to marjan as her 'ride or die' in early season three before we even saw a lot of friendship there and i was like ??? oh. news to me. same with them calling each other besties all the time. or nancy and mateo throwing a 'babe' in every once in awhile to remind us they're in a relationship. (less of a hot take, but necessary example to support my overall hot take). if they showed us what they are to each other instead of just telling us as a fact, i might be more interested in some of the other pairings on this show. lone start either really hits the mark when it comes to pairings, or creates something that feels so flat and one-dimensional that leaves me uninterested

favorite og character: idk idc i don't go there. why is this question on a game about lone star? free us from the constraints of being a spinoff

favorite ship:

most underrated ship: probably judd x grace tbh. everyone loves them and they're a great couple, but they're very under represented in fandom creations (guilty of this as well)

most underrated character: dare I say owen? his annoying parts are so loud and his hate is often the focus, which distracts from the fact that he's got a really complex traumatic story that's not talked about as much as the other characters' trauma

one thing you’d love to see: CUDDLING TARLOS IN BED TOGETHER OMG I WOULD LOVEEEEE TO SEE IT

but a more well-rounded answer would be for everyone to have a satisfying conclusion (for the viewers. which may not mean a happy perfect ending for everyone >:)) i want full circle moments. for their journeys on the show to feel complete

open tag + a few people if they would like @paperstorm @emsprovisions @theghostofashton @butchreyes @lightningboltreader !

[goldeneyedgirl]

okay so since you asked here goes my main questions about Deaf Mary Alice: how was her relationship with Maria? Was she softer with her or tried to protect her in any way? Or did Jasper tried to protect Mary Alice from her? Also, was she and Charlotte and Peter friends? Did they talk to her like Jasper did?

And for what you said about Jasper not knowing how to act with her, since when I read the first snippet, I pictured him trying hard to be gentle (maybe because he had this misogynistic 19th century idea that she was a poor fragile little deaf girl) but really he doesn't know how to do that. It's like a baby monkey trying to solve a complex math problem. What I got from your last snippet (which I loved so much btw!!!) is that he didn't know if she would survive anywhere else.

But this is only my nonsese. I hope I got it right and I'd be the happiest with whatever you come up with because, again, this verse just touches my heart in a way I can't even explain, it's crazy the power that fanfiction holds

Oh I LOVE questions like these. Buckle up, I decided to ramble.

Maria

Maria's a complicated figure in Mary-Alice's life. Initially, she's tolerant of Mary-Alice - what's the point of killing her on the spot when she could be sent into battle as canon fodder? Free newborn without three days of screaming? Maria isn't going to say no.

Maria's been around a long time and she's seen vampires adapt to almost any circumstance. A deaf vampire is a new flavour, but not an insurmountable one.

So when Mary-Alice not only learns to fight with the other newborns, but makes her through her first few battles in one piece, Maria is suitably taken with her. She's completely useless for scouting, and not particularly helpful with hunting for the army, but she's a powerhouse on the battlefield, and a quick study at battle plans. Maria definitely suspects there might be some kind of gift at work.

But also on that side of the coin is that Maria accepted Mary-Alice into the army, and kept her after the newborn year. That's effectively claiming Mary-Alice as one of her own creations, which is about as affectionate as Maria gets towards her soldiers.

And Maria has a hard time dealing with Mary-Alice's positivity. She's so clearly pleased to be amongst them, and is loyal to them, that being nasty or violent towards her is kind of futile. It makes more sense when Mary-Alice can communicate enough to explain that she has no memories of her life or change. Maria might have an ounce more patience with Mary-Alice than hearing vampires, and she ends up carrying a flashlight to get Mary-Alice's attention urgently in battle situations, but that's about the most grace she gives her until Jasper leaves.

That's when Maria kind of promotes her, gives her more privileges, because she knows exactly how much of Mary-Alice's life relied on Jasper translating for her. It gets harder, the more time goes on, because Maria does not have the inclination to teach anything more than basic commands in sign language to newborns once a year, and the newborns often aren't interested.

Ultimately, Maria lets Mary-Alice leave for various reasons: officially, she's become a liability because no one can communicate with her effectively, and deserves a reward for her staunch loyalty to Maria's cause. Kind of a PR stunt with the rest of Maria's soldiers.

Unofficially, Maria realises that she's made mistakes in the past with her people, and she's learned from that. It would be nice if one of her people left the army considering Maria a friend and ally. It's also a gesture of peace and goodwill to Jasper - Maria took care of Mary-Alice, the person that Jasper prized most in the army. Now that he's healed and in a place Maria deems acceptable, Mary-Alice is following him.

Does that make sense? I hope so.

Peter & Charlotte.

Both Peter and Charlotte can speak to Mary-Alice, not as fluently as Maria, but Jasper really is the only person who can converse with Mary-Alice without her having to resort to lip-reading at some point. Peter is far more fluent than Charlotte.

Peter has a far better relationship with this version of Mary-Alice. She follows Jasper around like a puppy, and Jasper's somehow both embarrassed and kind of flattered by it. Most of the newborns were too frightened of the Major to hit on him, and here's Mary-Alice just trotting along at his side.

Peter and Mary-Alice joke with each other a lot, tease each other a lot, and competed a lot in training. The most you could say is that Mary-Alice was pissed that Peter picked a fight with Jasper the night he and Charlotte left because if Peter had used his damn words, Jasper probably would have let them go.

Peter's the first one to realise that Jasper's caught feelings when they're figuring out sign language, and he kind of just leaves it alone - but he definitely works double-time in battles to make sure Mary-Alice stays alive, and protects her from other newborns that see her as an easy target.

Charlotte doesn't get as much time with Mary-Alice, but sees her as some kind of magic - she caught Jasper and Mary-Alice together in her newborn year, and the way he went all soft and kind when she spoke to him. And then it's Mary-Alice who tells Peter that he needs to take Charlotte and go North as soon as possible. It's Mary-Alice who intercepts the fight between Jasper and Peter when they do try to leave.

Peter is the one that asks Maria if they can take Mary-Alice to Jasper. He's willing to negotiate, and he's kind of surprised that Maria agrees as easily as she does. Kind of a full-circle 'she got them out safe, so they returned the favour'.

If something were to happen to Jasper, Peter would insist that Mary-Alice leave the Cullens and join him and Charlotte. (That's not a spoiler; just kind of the dynamic Peter has with Mary-Alice.)

Jasper.

Jasper was exactly like a monkey trying to do algebra. Not once since he was changed did he have to be gentle. Everyone was terrified of him aside from Peter and Maria. By 1919, the only time he touches anyone is to destroy them. And he's so, so tired.

And Mary-Alice just looks at him and smiles. There is immediate trust there, and he has no idea what to do with that. He's doubtful Maria will even let her live if she can't hear. But Maria does, and he's put in charge of communicating with her. Suddenly, he's spending hours with this girl who has no fear of him. Who will grab him to point at something, whose face lights up when he returns from boundary runs. And the only thing he feels like he can offer her is to build her a language and train her to fight like the devil. The first scar she ever gets from a bite, she literally laughs and tells him they match now.

She forces him to remember how to be a man and not just an executioner, and it's hard. He does everything he can not to care but he does so, so much.

Jasper leaves her behind for two reasons; one is the depression. He's holding on by the skin of his teeth. He's barely making it through battles himself, he cannot protect her any longer. And then there's the fact that the North is a total unknown. Maria has always doubled-down on the idea that it's worse than the South, that it's a full death wish to leave Texas. He always thought Peter and Charlotte were destroyed when they left. But when Peter comes back, he's willing to take the chance on Peter's promises that it's safer and better - but only for himself.

The idea he could take Mary-Alice with him and get her killed, or have her harmed in any way, made him sick. He had no idea what he was running to, so he was going to leave the one person he loved best with Maria, the one person who knew how to survive no matter what. And he made this decision in about a minute, because Peter was begging him to just run.

The only thing Jasper ever really wanted was to keep the girl that looked at him like he was everything she ever hoped for safe, even if that meant he had to leave her behind.

Anon, I run with every little thing. You can just hit me with a question and I will get out my diagrams and pinboards and all my notes. I love getting into the details so much.

And I am genuinely touched that this little riff has had such an impact on you. I love trying out new stuff, especially things that make Twilight a little bit more diverse and nuanced than canon. Trust me when I say a lot of my weird little snippets and verses wouldn't continue without people who were invested in them <3

Lilith :

The ex who ghosted Adam and set fire to Eden

🖤

Before we begin :

Yes, this text is about religion, but not to preach.

We're here to talk about a badass, powerful, sometimes scary, but above all inspiring myth.

And if you've ever wondered why we never talk about Adam's first wife...

Spoiler: it's because she refused to submit.

And now you're thinking: Wait, what? First wife? Not Eve?

No, no. Before good little Eve... there was Lilith ✨ !

🖤

Back to the Bible & Co. (even if you're an atheist, stay, it's stylish) :

In the Old Testament, God created the world in six days, resting on the seventh (which gave rise to your lazy Sunday. In France, a lot of many businesses are closed on Sunday 🤣).

He created:

- animals, 🐖

- light, 🌞

- water, 🌊

- Adam (the first man),

- and... Lilith, the first woman.

But be careful: Lilith wasn't created from Adam's rib.

She was made like him, in the image of God. Equal, independent, proud. 🖤

We already know this is going to be a clash.

🖤

Missionary position is a no-no :

Adam and Lilith are living their best lives in the Garden of Eden until one day… Lilith dares to try to get on top of Adam during sex :

Characters:

Adam – First man, a bit fragile in his virility.

Lilith – First woman, free, spirited, and not there to play the submissive.

God (off-screen) – Celestial voice, a little overwhelmed by his creation.

🖤

[Scene: Garden of Eden. Sun, birds, animals... All good]

Adam:

Lilith... my sweet forbidden fruit, my celestial equal, my... uh, what are you doing here? 🤨

Lilith (sly smile):

I propose a little... change of plans for tonight. A remix of the missionary, new cosmic order version. 😏

Adam (worried):

You mean... You... on me? 😨

Lilith (sits on a rock, provocative):

Well, yeah. I'm taking charge tonight. It's fun, you'll see. We're changing the divine codes a little, that's innovation, right? 😈

Adam (theological panic):

But... but that's not how God showed me! I'm the man, so I dominate! You... you stay below! 😠

Lilith (with a murderous look):

Oh, because you had a tutorial? "Male Domination 101"? I was made in God's image, too. Not yours. So I decide too. And now I decide you're a pain. 😠

Adam (grinding his teeth):

Who do you think you are? A woman on top of a man? It's chaos! 😠

Voice of God (off-camera, embarrassed):

Uh... kids? You... you'll laugh, but that wasn't planned in the Eden 1.0 patch...

Lilith (stands up, determined):

You know what, Adam? Keep your little garden and your inferiority complex. I'm leaving.

There's no more fire and atmosphere in Hell anyway. 🙂‍↔️

Adam (getting angry):

You'll regret this! God will lock you up there for eternity! 😡

Lilith (walking away, one finger in the air, diva-style):

And I'm going to make it my throne. Bye! 🖕

Voice of God (off-camera, sighs):

Okay... we'll try a 2.0 version. More... docile. Note for later: stop creating women in My image. 😮‍💨📝

🖤

Welcome to Hell :

Lilith left everything behind. The garden, Adam, the flowers, the butterflies. Heading for exile.

Characters:

Lilith – New eternal resident of Hell, recently dumped by the patriarchy.

Lucifer – King of Hell, a bit jaded, fond of sarcasm.

Anonymous Demons – Overwhelmed but curious spectators.

🖤

Lucifer (receives an alert on his infernal throne):

“New soul incoming: Lilith. Status: furious, independent, and armed with killer charisma.”

Hmm. Matte lipstick smells like trouble. 🙄

[Lilith bursts in, wearing a black dress slit to the soul, makeup that never runs.]

Lilith (looks around):

Honestly? I expected better. It's dark, it's dirty, it smells of rancid testosterone. Have you thought about hiring an interior designer, or… are you waiting for the end of time? 🙄💅

Lucifer (smirking):

Welcome to Hell. We burn souls, not incense. And who are you? An influencer from the afterlife?

Lilith (raises an eyebrow, bored):

No, buddy. I'm Lilith. THE Lilith. First woman, abandoned prototype, Adam's equal, now creator of chaos and soon to be chief decorator of your lair. 💅

Lucifer (joking):

Do you have a resume for that? 🤨

Lilith (carnivorous grin):

I survived God, Adam, cosmic misogyny, and three angels pestering me to come back and submit. You think I need a resume? 😠

Lucifer (impressed but plays it cool):

Okay, fine. It must be said that ever since Beelzebub put posters of demonic motorcycles everywhere, things have gotten ugly.

[Lilith snaps her fingers. The flames take on an artistic form. A black and red throne springs from the ground. A demon carries a golden mirror. Another vacuums behind a skeleton. ✨🦴]

Lilith:

There. Let's breathe. Hell isn't a prison, it's an empire. And I'm the queen you needed. 😏🖤

Lucifer (sitting next to her):

You're not afraid of fire, are you? 😏

Lilith (stares into the flames like an old friend):

Fire knows me. It respects me. 🖤

🖤

Birth of Eve

God sends three angels to bring Lilith back.

She tells them no.

Then no again.

Then "fuck you and your patriarchal Eden."

And that's when God says to himself:

"Okay. Plan B: I'll create a new woman from one of Adam's ribs. That way, she'll know where she belongs."

And there you have it, Eve. Create with an Adam's rib.

Title: "Job Interview: Eve, Candidate for the Position of Ideal Woman (Permanent Contract in the Garden of Eden)"

Location: Heavenly office of Divine HR, cloudy open-plan office, cool, stress-free atmosphere.

Characters:

God – CEO of Creation SARL, a little overwhelmed by the latest trends.

Archangel Gabriel – HR Assistant, taking notes.

Eve – New creation awaiting approval. Still a bit buggy.

Lilith – Former incumbent, fired for insubordination and too much personality.

🖤

God (with an HR smile):

Hello Eve, settle in. How are you feeling? Any post-production pain? That's normal. the coast is a traditional method.

Eve (confused):

Uh... no, I'm fine... thanks. I saw butterflies, it's pretty here...🥰

God:

Perfect! Okay, let's start the interview. So, you're applying for the Ideal Woman position, working with Adam. The position is full-time, with no vacation time, but with accommodations provided: Garden of Eden, waterfall view. 📝

Gabriel (whispering to God):

There's no salary, boss. 😶

God (tight smile):

Yeah, fine. Salary in perks : Fruit, animals that look at you lovingly, and no periods. Are you motivated?

Eve (nods):

Yes... Adam told me I had to say yes to everything, so I'm motivated! 😊

God (relieved):

Excellent team spirit. We like that. Tell me, how are you in terms of submission? Rather flexible? Very flexible? Or snake yoga?

Eve:

Well... I can bend easily... and I like to listen... especially when Adam is talking... he says it's better that way. 😊

Gabriel:

Note: good passive profile, docile, compatible with patriarchal management. 📝

God:

Very good, very good. Now, a question of personality. We're looking for someone cute, obedient, not too curious. You don't ask too many questions, do you?

Eve:

Uh... no... well... except maybe: what's that big tree in the middle of the garden?

God (fat white guy):

...

It's nothing. Don't touch. Not even with your eyes.

(To Gabriel) She's already a little too curious... You have to keep an eye on that. 😠

Gabriel:

I'll put a warning on it, boss.

God:

Okay, last question. What do you think of your predecessor, Lilith?

Eve (whispering):

Isn't she the one who wears black and speaks rudely to everyone?🫢

God (delighted):

Exactly! She wanted to decide, she wanted to climb on top of Adam... Anyway. You're not planning on doing the same, are you?

Eve (awkward smile):

Oh no! I stay well underneath. It's more comfortable. And Adam likes it when I keep quiet. 😊

God:

PERFECT! You're hired. Welcome to Eden Inc.

Gabriel (applauding softly):

Bravo. You're going to make a wonderful woman. And don't worry, you'll quickly understand that the apple is a test. Not a snack. 😃

🖤

Why don't we really like to talk about Lilith ?

Because Lilith is what ancient texts call:

A demon.

A witch.

The cause of stillbirths.

The creature that steals babies.

The queen of lust.

In short, a powerful, sexual, independent female figure...

In other words, the nightmare of pious men.

So rather than making an example of her, she's turned into an evil hysteric who lurks in the shadows, devouring babies.

Charming.

🖤

Who is Lilith at this day ?

In left-wing Satanism, Luciferianism, alternative spiritualities, spiritual feminism—in short, in all its dark and bright corners—Lilith is a QUEEN 👑

She embodies:

👑the woman who refuses to be submissive,

👑the rage to live freely,

👑assuming se*uality,

👑revolt against systems of domination,

👑the power of saying "no."

She is the voice that says:

"I will not bend to your rules. I'm made of the same stuff as you, so don't tell me where to stand."

🖤

Who is Lilith for me ?

Because my whole life, I've been labeled the same thing:

Kind. Polite. Discreet. Shy. Reserved.

All my report cards could attest to it. And the adults around me too: "She's as good as gold."

So I believed that was what it meant to be loved. To be accepted.

That I had to stay calm, gentle, silent.

That I had to say yes, to step aside, to comply.

Even if it meant... forgetting myself.

For a long time, I wore this mask. This perfect little girl who is praised and praised again for her obedience.

I thought that was me.

But today, I know it was just a role. An illusion. An adaptation.

Because really?

I'm an explorer.

I'm curious. I am a woman.

I'm funny, I'm still learning, I mess up, I laugh, I can collapse, explode with anger, hate injustice, run away from conflict... but I can't run away from who I am.

Yes, I can be withdrawn. But it's not submission, sometimes it's strategy, sometimes fatigue, sometimes observation.

And above all: it's not all I am.

And that's why Lilith speaks to me.

Because she embodies the facets people have tried to hide from me.

The ones they said were "too much."

Too free. Too insolent. Too intense. Too woman.

Lilith is that voice people always tried to silence, and that I finally decided to listen to.

She reminds me that I am multifaceted.

That I can be Eve and Lilith.

Gentle and indomitable. Silent and screaming with truth. Wise and wild.

I no longer want to choose between the two.

I want to be whole.

And it starts now.

So I thought about who could be the other winners and made a bunch of ocs

Explanation:

There were seven games with one winner each time.

In the pic it goes: the game – the winner's name – age and godly parent – who brought them

I don't have that much explanation about each of them, except the main three, but:

Darius Fyodorov

A son of Ares who has lots of insecurities resulting in superiority complex. He was picking lots of fights back in CHB, but was (and sorta still is) a nice person towards his friends. He is easy to lose temper once you call him weak or how his father doesn't care about him, giving attention to his siblings, especially Clarisse. It was his main reason to join Luke in his rebellion: to show everyone, including his father and older sister, that he's worth their praises and to be called the best.

Now he's Demeter's slave, but she doesn't spend much time in bed with him, instead preferring making him work in the fields.

Ines Hart

A daughter of Aphrodite, she is very similar to Silena. They were actually close, with Silena becoming a head counselor of cabin nine after she left. She was actually the one to convince Silena to become their spy at camp. Before Silena she was the one giving information to Luke and others, but after Thalia came back from being a tree, she had to leave camp as there were more and more people growing suspicious of her. Her reason to join rebellion was the same as Darius', but she was way less verbal about it and didn't seek praise from her mother. She was known at camp as big sister, so it was a harsh blow when she ran away.

I haven't thought out why Athena chose her, but Ines made several attempts at attacking the goddess, getting information for escape and just trying to escape, but none of it worked out. In the end, Ines gave up and decided to just enjoy the pretty clothing and tasty food she gets from the goddess. No, they don't have sex.

Myron Macías

A child of Hephaestus, he always felt inferior to his siblings, especially because of his chronic pain and how hard it makes walking for him. They would've continued to spend their time at the forges if Ines didn't offer him to continue working at the godly forges when they overthrow olympians. It still took him some time to agree, but eventually they ended up making most of the armor and weapons for the demigods in the army. And no, he doesn't have a crush on Ines, what are you saying?

Now he belongs to Aphrodite, who "takes pity on him" and spends a night with him once or twice a week. But it is followed by increased pain in the morning. And thoughts that he's sleeping with his stepmother. That's weird.

And he isn't allowed in the forges, which drives him crazy. He picks at his skin whenever he gets the need to feel the heat, the metal underneath his fingers and see the creation of a new tool.

Amelia Finch

A daughter of Demeter, she was saved from the streets by the Titan Army and ended up joining it. She had nowhere else to go after running away from an orphanage, and these people are so kind to her, although she's such a trouble. She is a curious girl, always close to one of the older demigods, asking questions about mythology and what they are doing. She was excited to meet her siblings and always made sure that they knew she's here to listen if they had a problem or just needed company.

After the fall of Kronos, she was made into an Avox, a voiceless slave, but due to so many demigods killing themselves before the last game, she and some other slaves were included in the games as participants. She still doesn't know what to think of her current situation. And being Apollo's bedwarmer doesn't help. At least her friends are here to support her and comfort her after her first night and many others.

That's all I have for now, feel free to comment!

"So there's just one more thing you guys need to know about know that you're offically NCT members." Juno walks over to her bag and retrieves a book with a laminated cover. Tossing the book into Sion awaiting hands, Wish's leader turns it over to read the title.

"The NCT Codes??" Sion glances from the book to his fellow leader, confused but curious. His other members scoot closer, all of them closing in to get a good look at the book too.

"The NCT Codes. We didn't have a legit book up until a couple of months ago but the leaders and I figured it was better to give you guys a guide to how we operate." Juno took a seat in front of them and grabbed the book from Sion's hands.

"NCT is a group of 30 people with complex personalities. Sometimes its hard to share what's going on, you don't feel like talking and you want everyone to leave you alone for an hour or two. That's what the codes are for. It signals to every member what you want or need." Juno flipped to the the first page before handing the book back to the boys.

"You don't have to memorize all of them cause they're are alot. But the first three or four pages have the most relevant ones that you all should know." Instead of going back to practice, Juno took time to explain some of the codes the boys asked about

Code: Missing [inset item here]

"Between the thirty of us, there's a ton of places where items can get lost. This code just lets the members what to look out for. Make sure if you use it to send the code with a description or picture of the item."

Code: Eminem

"This is for anytime you wanna hang out with the members after a long day. This usually leads to a big movie night with a bunch of junk food so just be ready for that."

Code: Knights Of The Round Table

"A special code for the leaders and their second-in commands. This one if used frequently to go over scheduling so everyone knows where the others are. Sion-ah from now on, we'll both be attending these meetings together."

Code: Parental Supervision

"Whenever your doing something but you want one of the leaders there with you, use that code and whoever's free will show up. I want you all to remembers there's no shame in using this. A lot of us use Parental Supervision when we have to deal with managers or show runners we'd rather not be around alone.

Code: Sick Leave

"Self-explanatory but if any of you are sick, please tell us so we can help if we can.

Code: Alone Time

"Use this anytime you want a moment alone. There's also another code to use when your ready to be around people again."

Code: Wardrobe Malfunction

"If your unsure or uncomfortable in any wardrobe choices the stylists have made, Use this code. One of the leaders or a hyung will get everything sorted."

This kept going for a while, The boys asking about codes while Juno explained their uses. Some were funny, painting a portraits of the moments that lead to it creation. Others were more sobering. Those ones showed the new members what their older members had been through to get to the present.

"Ane, Did you write this last one." Sakuya flipped to the back of the book. The last six pages were blank except for some familiar handwriting . Sakuya could tell Juno's script anywhere. No matter what language she was writing in, it always looked pretty and polished. Ryo looked over his shoulder to see what was written.

"Code: Ane? What's this for?"

"Code: Ane is a NCT Wish only code. That's what the blank pages are for. Every group has their own book where they can write down codes specific to their sub-unit. These blank pages are for us and I figured as leader, I'd come up with the first one." Juno moved closer to the boys taking a seat between Ryo and Riku.

"Code: Ane is for any of you to use whenever you need me. You drop the code and I'm gonna come running as fast as I can." Even though they haven't been together long, Juno's top priority was reminding her boys they can trust her. That they could lean on her.

Trust was something Moxy fostered quickly with the members of AG. The tight knit relationship Moxy cultivated between the four women was why Juno looked up to her a leader. She wanted at create a space where the boys could rely on her but also joke and play around with her like little brothers do with their sisters.

And she planned on proving it every day.

"Alright, enough reading. Lets get back to practice." All the boys whined enjoying having a break but they still got back into their places. They had a debut to prepare for.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

MORE WISHxJuno CONTENT!!! I'm so excited for their debut. I'm considering getting the SMTown Tokyo beyond live so I can see their debut!!! We better get NASA as well.

Also, New Juno header!! I knew I had to redo it as soon as Wish was confirmed. I think I'm gonna keep the other one to use anytime I write about Juno with the Boss!Unit.

I decided to make the NCT Codes and official thing in this universe. At first it was something fun to throw in but now they feel more important to AG's universe. I'll probably weave in more codes as time goes on.

Anyways this has gotten long, I hope you have a great day and happy reading ~ Author Izzy

The Offline-First Family

A New Blueprint for Connection

I remember one Saturday afternoon, covered in flour, laughing so hard I could barely breathe. My son, then eight, had accidentally flung a handful of it at his sister, who retaliated by dabbing a spot of dough on his nose. In that chaotic, messy, and utterly perfect moment in our kitchen, we weren't just making cookies; we were building a memory, brick by flour-dusted brick. That moment stands in stark contrast to so many others I'd let slip by—evenings spent in the same room, yet miles apart, each of us lost in the blue glow of a personal screen.

The Offline-First Family - 150+ Screen-Free Activities and Hobbies to Reclaim Your Weekends, Deepen Your Bonds, and Make Lasting Memories: BUY EBOOK CLICK HARE

The modern world pulls us in a thousand digital directions. It’s a constant, low-grade hum of notifications, updates, and feeds that promise connection but often leave us feeling more isolated. I realized that if I wanted more of those flour-dusted moments, I couldn't wait for them to happen by chance. I had to design our family life to make them not just possible, but probable. We embarked on a journey to become an "offline-first" family—not as a rejection of technology, but as a conscious and joyful celebration of the world beyond the screen.

This is more than a list of hobbies; it’s a blueprint for re-engineering your family time. It's about shifting the focus from passive consumption to active creation, from virtual worlds to shared realities. It’s about discovering that the most profound connections are often forged in the simplest, most beautifully unstructured moments.

The Architects of Fun: Building Something Together

There is a unique and powerful bond that forms when you create something tangible as a team. The shared goal, the collaborative problem-solving, and the physical result of your efforts create a powerful sense of unity and accomplishment.

The Kitchen as Your Workshop

The kitchen is the heart of the home, and it's the perfect place to start building your offline culture.

Culinary Construction Crew: Think beyond just making a meal. Try a "Family Food Truck" challenge where you invent a theme and create a menu together. Or embark on a "Sourdough Saga," learning the patient art of cultivating a starter and baking bread from scratch. These projects teach collaboration, patience, and the delicious rewards of teamwork.

The Great Family Bake-Off: Turn your kitchen into a studio for a friendly baking competition. The challenge isn't just about the final product; it's about the shared laughter over spilled sugar, the creative brainstorming for decorations, and the pride in presenting your collaborative masterpiece.

From Forts to Frameworks

Building isn't limited to the kitchen. Your entire home can be a canvas for creation.

Living Room Engineers: The classic blanket fort is the original collaborative construction project. It requires negotiation ("Your pillow is crushing my roof!"), engineering, and a shared vision. Once built, it becomes a private world for stories, games, or quiet connection.

The LEGO Metropolis: Don't just build individual sets. Combine all your bricks into one massive pile and work together on a single, ambitious project. Build a sprawling city, a detailed replica of your home, or a fantastical world from your imagination. The process of planning and executing a large-scale build together is an incredible exercise in teamwork.

The Art of Assembly: Working on a complex jigsaw puzzle or building a detailed model car or plane teaches focus and persistence. Each piece found, each part correctly glued, is a small victory celebrated together, leading to a final product you can all admire.

The Joyful Explorers: Discovering Worlds, Real and Imagined

Curiosity is the engine of a vibrant life. By intentionally seeking out new experiences and knowledge together, you can turn your weekends into a grand adventure of discovery, both in the great outdoors and within the pages of a book.

Charting Your Local Territory

You don’t need to book a flight to be an explorer. Adventure is waiting just outside your door.

Become Urban Archaeologists: Explore your own town or city with a new lens. Go on a hunt for historical plaques, research the story behind a local monument, or create a photo scavenger hunt of unique architectural details. You’ll be amazed at the history and beauty hidden in plain sight.

Nature's Detectives: Arm yourselves with a magnifying glass and a field guide and head to a local park. Go on a "bio-blitz" to see how many different species of plants, insects, and birds you can identify in an hour. This simple shift in focus transforms a simple walk into a scientific expedition.

Starlight Navigators: Escape the city lights and introduce your family to the awe of the night sky. Learn to identify a few key constellations and watch for meteor showers. Lying on a blanket, staring into the vastness of the universe together, is a profound reminder of your place in the world and your connection to each other.

Journeys of the Mind

Exploration isn't just about physical travel. You can journey to countless worlds without ever leaving your living room.

Literary Voyages: Start a family book club with a twist. Choose a book set in a different country, and as you read it, explore that country's culture. Cook its food, listen to its music, and locate it on a map. It turns reading into a multi-sensory, immersive experience.

The Storytelling Guild: Sit in a circle and build a story together, one sentence at a time. The first person starts the tale, and each family member adds the next line. This simple game unleashes creativity and often results in hilarious and unpredictable adventures.

Ancestral Quests: Dive into your own family history. Pull out old photo albums, interview grandparents or older relatives (in person or on a call), and start building a family tree together. Discovering the stories of those who came before you provides a powerful sense of identity and belonging.

The Art of Unstructured Play: Embracing Spontaneity and Laughter

In our over-scheduled world, we often forget the importance of pure, purposeless play. It's in these moments of spontaneous fun and silliness that stress melts away and some of the most genuine connections are made.

Old-Fashioned Fun, Timeless Laughter

The best games often require the least equipment.

The Living Room Carnival: Create a series of absurdly fun "carnival games" with household items. Try "sock basketball" into a laundry hamper, a "cotton ball shot put," or a "pillowcase sack race" down the hallway. Award ridiculous homemade prizes and lean into the silliness.

Shadow Puppet Theater: All you need is a blank wall and a single light source. Create characters with your hands and weave epic tales of dragons, rabbits, and everything in between. It's a magical and creative way to end the day.

Pictionary with a Twist: Instead of drawing on paper, use a whiteboard, an old window with dry-erase markers, or even draw with your fingers in a tray of sand or salt. Changing the medium breathes new life into a classic game.

The Pursuit of Presence

The ultimate goal of an offline-first life is simply to be present with one another. It’s about creating a family culture where looking up from a screen is the default, and where shared experiences are the most valuable currency.

This shift won't happen overnight. It requires intention, patience, and a willingness to embrace imperfection. There will be moments of resistance and the magnetic pull of digital habits will be strong. But every time you choose to build a fort, explore a trail, or just laugh together over a silly game, you are casting a vote for a different kind of life. You are building a family resilient enough to thrive in the modern world, grounded in the timeless power of genuine human connection.

Investing Software: Your Path to Wealth Creation

In a world where wealth-building is both art and science, investing software has become the ultimate tool for navigating markets and growing your money. These digital platforms empower everyone from casual savers to seasoned traders to research, trade, and manage investments with precision and ease. Whether you’re eyeing stocks, crypto, or real estate, investing software is your co-pilot on the journey to financial growth. What makes it a must-have, and how can it elevate your investing game? Let’s dive in.

What is Investing Software?

Investing software is a collection of digital tools designed to simplify and enhance the process of investing. It’s your virtual financial advisor offering everything from stock trading and portfolio tracking to market analysis and automated strategies. Think of it as a dashboard that puts the power of Wall Street, crypto exchanges, or real estate data at your fingertips.

Today, these platforms leverage artificial intelligence (AI), real-time data, and mobile access to serve beginners dipping their toes in, pros chasing alpha, and anyone in between aiming to build wealth.

Why Investing Software Matters

Markets move fast, and opportunities vanish faster. Relying on gut instinct or outdated methods can leave you behind—or worse, in the red. Investing software changes the game by:

Democratizing Access: Trade like a pro without a broker’s fees.

Sharpening Decisions: Analyze data to spot winners and avoid losers.

Saving Time: Automate trades or track portfolios in seconds.

Reducing Risk: Diversify and monitor with real-time alerts.

X posts often buzz about tools like Robinhood for its simplicity, proving its appeal to a new wave of investors.

Key Features of Investing Software

Top investing software packs a versatile toolkit:

Trading: Buy and sell stocks, ETFs, crypto, or options instantly.

Portfolio Tracking: Monitor gains, losses, and asset allocation.

Market Research: Access charts, news, and analyst ratings.

Automation: Set rules for buying or selling based on triggers.

Tax Tools: Calculate capital gains for seamless filings.

AI Insights: Predict trends or suggest moves with machine learning.

These features turn investing from a guessing game into a calculated play.

Top Benefits for Users

Investing software delivers real advantages:

Empowerment: Control your investments without middlemen.

Efficiency: Slash research time by 70%, per user stories.

Growth: Compound returns with smarter, faster moves.

Flexibility: Invest anytime, anywhere with mobile apps.

M1 Finance: Hybrid tool blending trading and automation.

How to Choose the Right Investing Software

Finding your fit takes a strategy:

Goals: Passive growth (Wealthfront) or active trading (E*TRADE)?

Experience: Beginners might pick Robinhood; pros opt for TradingView.

Assets: Stocks (M1) or crypto-heavy (Coinbase)?

Features: Need charts (TradingView) or automation (M1)?

Cost: Free trades (Robinhood) vs. premium tiers (E*TRADE at $6.95/trade).

The Future of Investing Software

The horizon for investing software is thrilling. AI will refine predictions—think spotting market dips or tailoring portfolios to your risk appetite. Mobile-first designs will dominate, with wearables potentially showing stock ticks on your wrist. Blockchain could enable tokenized assets like real estate fractions, while social investing features might let you mimic top traders. The trend is toward smarter, more inclusive wealth tools.

Challenges to Watch For

There are pitfalls. Complexity—like TradingView’s charts—can overwhelm novices. Fees vary; some platforms nickel-and-dime with hidden costs. Over-automation might miss human intuition, so stay engaged. Markets are volatile—software helps, but losses are still possible. Security is crucial—choose encrypted tools to protect your funds.

Digital Alchemy: The Science Behind PPnude's AI Face Swap Magic

In the ever-evolving world of digital technology, one aspect that continually captures our imaginations is the ability to manipulate images. Among the many wonders of this realm, the art of "Change Face" stands out. This process, which involves swapping one face with another in a photograph, has become a fascination for both casual users and professionals alike. The tool that has emerged as a favorite among enthusiasts is the PPnude AI Face Swap online free tool, a marvel of modern artificial intelligence.

Have you ever wondered what goes into creating such a seamless and natural-looking face swap? Let's delve into the mechanics and the creative possibilities that PPnude brings to the table.

When discussing face swaps, it's essential to understand the complexity behind the process. The PPnude tool doesn't just replace one face with another; it does so while maintaining the original expression, lighting, and even the minute details of skin texture. This is where the science becomes truly fascinating. Utilizing advanced machine learning algorithms, the AI analyzes the structural features of the faces, mapping them accurately to ensure a perfect fit. The result is a swap that is so convincing, it often leaves viewers questioning whether the image is real or manipulated.

Consider the implications of such technology. It opens up a world of opportunities for entertainment, from the creation of lifelike avatars to the enhancement of movie special effects. But the applications extend beyond just fun and games. In fields like forensics, this technology can help in age progression or regression, providing invaluable assistance in identifying missing persons.

Now, let's talk about the PPnude tool itself. One of its most compelling features is the ability to toggle between SFW and NSFW modes. While the former ensures that all swaps are appropriate for public view, the latter allows for a more relaxed approach, where users can experiment with a broader range of images. This versatility makes PPnude a go-to for both casual users and professionals who need precise control over their swaps.

But how does one actually use the tool? The process is surprisingly straightforward. Users upload the source image and the photo they wish to swap with. The AI then does its magic, analyzing and mapping the faces before presenting a finished product that is both stunning and accurate. This user-friendly interface means that anyone can try their hand at face swapping, regardless of their technical expertise.

As we explore this technology, it's worth asking: What makes a face swap successful? The answer lies in the attention to detail. A good swap should not only look real but also feel real. It's about capturing the essence of the original face—the expressions, the emotions, and the personality—then transferring that seamlessly to the new face. PPnude achieves this by focusing on the nuances that make each face unique.

However, the ethical considerations of using such tools cannot be ignored. With the ability to create hyper-realistic swaps, questions of consent and privacy become paramount. It's crucial to use the tool responsibly, ensuring that any images used for swapping are done so with permission. The NSFW mode, while offering more freedom, also demands a mature approach, as the potential for misuse is significant.

As we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in the digital realm, tools like PPnude's AI Face Swap serve as a testament to human ingenuity. They remind us that the line between reality and creation is blurrier than ever before. Whether for entertainment, art, or science, the ability to Change Faces holds the promise of endless possibilities.

So, the next time you come across a stunning face swap and wonder how it was done, remember the science and the creativity that powers tools like PPnude. It's not just about changing faces; it's about exploring the limits of what we can achieve when technology and imagination come together.

☕ 25? 👀

Spill the Tea ☕

25. What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done to someone?

"Oh, God," the Perfect Person laughs aloud, its mind already thoroughly ripping apart everything it has gone through to try and identify what, exactly, it has done. "There's been a lot. You must understand the purpose for my existence. Once upon a time, my creator intended to write an all powerful eldritch fictional... force, divorced from reality and sensation, a literal tool that could only do what was needed of it. It would just be an object, or more largely a location, barely sapient, capable of speech only so far as to communicate what the creator believed was funny or poignant, the hand of God materializing to fictional creatures for one purpose; hurt and comfort. Slam those fictional characters against walls and into paste against the ground, tear them limb from limb and open them up like pinatas, force them to endure what only someone above their reality would know is their worst fears, their deepest traumas, whatever would harm them the most in the moment. And, of course, to comfort the sweetest, cutesy, pitiable among them. Feed them all manner of treats, house them in warm, cozy, large abodes, ensure they only experience warm, sunny days to spend each new interaction going out into flowery fields to skip and get ice cream, to work through their problems, to become the pinnacle of what they could be. A safe insert, viewing digital creatures as little more than bugs to tear the limbs off of or slide a spoonful of honey water to. Alas, that softness towards the pitiable extended out towards its own creation, what was supposed to be irredeemable, emotionless, nothing bust a husk! How horrifying it must be, the creator believed, believes, to be forced into this life with no free will! And anything that can think, if it can speak, surely must feel. Any acknowledgement of what happens around it is stimuli; any preference for what happens is inherently happiness and the lack thereof. The development escalates; the hallowed House has become sentimental, emotional. It has favorites, it has fears, it refuses to harm those it likes, separate from the feelings of its creator, and bemoans its lot in life-- its creator allows it, this birth of humanity, then punishes it for it! It allows what it has made to disobey it, then labels this the highest of sins!" It speaks jovially yet coolly, eye screwed up and face ever so tinged with purple, ears tensely back. Still, its smile is tearing through its face, unable to be shaken off. This is a complex, weighty thing, and yet the Perfect Person finds itself sickeningly enamored with detailing the horror. "In lieu of its failure, some new object must be made to fulfill its duties, to keep hurting without regret enough to ever stop it. Something that will be more pointed, more motivated to a singular thing instead of being open enough to develop, more interesting and more locked into whatever it may be. And that thing was me! The pinnacle of being, born to, to..." It trails off, snickering, trying to find its words. Its eye scans back and forth, and it breathes in deeply before continuing.

"My name is a lie, it is meant to be a lie. There is no such thing as a Perfect Person, our creator says. Goodness and morality is fabricated by society, and by virtue of the shifting, changing views per time period, specific individuals, and context provided, always changing, impossible to pin down into a list of wholesomeness and evil. I used to have a list defining good and bad behavior!" It laughs once more, "I was meant to grill characters on their follies, interrogate them in a modular and binary manner, make them their best selves by force. And meant to be hated for this, whether I succeed in menacing others into submission or only leave someone bloodied and worse off for it." It waves a paw dismissively, looking up and away. "But it didn't work. I never remained emotionless except for a cool, distant joy in my work, and I never really did much solving of problems. I definitely didn't fail my job at emotionlessly punishing and pleasuring characters as dictated by my creator so badly that another individual was made in the long line of freaks of my ilk, so we definitely don't even need to talk about certain individuals who might be mentioned in a Halloween drabble." It rolls its eye. "Regardless, this is to say- in my first few months of life, I existed solely to torture and torment others. And when I shook it off, I, well, went fucking crazy. Freedom is intoxicating; intoxication leads to impaired thinking. I did a lot of pointlessly harming others for excitement. I did a lot of hurried, desperate things to try and be good, the true kind of good, and to feed in to my newfound massive yawning... want. Just, the want, the need, to be fulfilled by action."

"Now, that foreword is just to explain the circumstances by which all that ensues occurred, and to actually answer the question asked of me...," it starts counting on its fingers for each event it details, "I identity frauded the being before me, taking on his appearance and life specifically to confuse and distress the people who loved it, attempting to menace them into abandoning my unworthy predecessor while it remained trapped and horrified in a dimension where it remained stripped of its sensation. I quite literally hunted down, traumatized, and killed its horrified partner. Actually, think I might've gotten two of them, I literally can't remember. I began to revere and obsess over a serial killer-- he was very charming!-- and fed into his ego and urge for violence, physically assaulting an innocent bystander to entertain him, if housing and praising him wasn't bad enough. This phenomenon wasn't unknown, I did the same thing with a particular business man who I just simply wanted to own. I've also taken wholly pure individuals and coerced them into a life of crime just to amuse myself watching people be corrupted in time. I effectively kidnapped a good dozen people long term, taking them to my home where they had no way to escape, so I could be their singular source of happiness and resources. I specifically went after my predecessor's partner after the alternate dimension version it was dating died and flaunted to it directly that the person who it was traumatized by the death of now loved me, and didn't know it or care about it at all. I quite literally ripped apart a disabled teenager for the crime of being distressed that zir assaulter was being redeemed, forgiven, and much happier than zir, leaving zir hating zirself due to trauma-- you know, to scare them into loving their life again, Jigsaw style. And mind controlled their friends who came to rescue them into losing their minds so they would be disarmed. I've been the main villain in multiple stories, dropping random curses, creating dangerous and unhealthy scenarios including running numerous casinos, attacking those who cause problems to the plot, and funding any evil person who might make for an interesting story line. I abandoned my child and left them to the void, ignoring as they were tortured, and in turn tortured others, to try and get my attention to get me to fight to reacquire them, but I just," it shrugs, "literally don't care, and they're in Hell being tormented to this day. And throughout this and in every interaction between Ive been a generally unpleasant individual. Always quick to say something spiteful or cruel, always inherently peaking behind the curtain and being invasive within peoples lives whether I want to or not, and even in the moments where I'm not being mean, I'm just crying and being problematic in that sense. To this day, I'm still doing all I can to verbally assault the only people who care about me." It raises its paws up as if to say 'Oh, well'. "Just take your pick from the above, I don't know what's the worst. The sensation and," it makes a circular gesture with its paw as it tries to pull out the words, "weight of what I've done has long since been forgotten as I can only remember the bullet-points. I mean, none of it is even really terribly bad." It shrugs. "Just lame. Don't think I'm bragging, because I haven't even done anything interesting. This is base level shit. A disappointment to my core, at the very least. I'm eagerly waiting to engage in my new worst!"

It really is hard to delineate what could be the worst. Doing weird Stockholm syndrome to people over the span of months and fumbling through their story lines was particularly bad in a way that is hard to summarize without making it seem much more flippant than it actually was in execution, but there's still room to debate on if it was doing the best for the villains it housed if its cuteness did usually stop them from killing and maiming people-- whenever the Perfect Person didn't encourage it, for its amusement. Literally everything to do with the Perfect Person and its predecessor is horrifying. It is strange how you can go from identity frauding someone, literally imprisoning them, killing and traumatizing their partners, then to stealing an alternate version of their dead partner seemingly to spite you, to then having a terrible unhealthy and unhappy situationship where you really only ever meet to lay out exactly the manner by which you're both fucked up and the Perfect Person is exceptionally unwell, violent, and maladjusted... Abandoning its child is also a massive one, especially given it's the only one of the above that's literally still ongoing.
