Logan was glad for the lighthearted way in which it seemed Matyr knew he needed things to be in the moment. Yes, he was having a tough time of it, but out of anyone who could be here, Matyr was the best person. Logan chuckles and tries to center himself with that nudge of their shoulders. Maybe he leans into it a bit more than he should, but he can't really help it.

"You know, I don't know what it is, but I feel as if I've met you before. Years ago now, but only for a moment." He shakes his head with an exhale, a silent scoff knowing he sounds off. "I know it sounds crazy, but...your vibe, your personality, it seems so familiar. So I hope you forgive me for letting you get as comfortable as you like." Is this a revelation, a welcome invitation? He can't tell anymore. A deep breath is taken, a peek over with a smile. "Thanks."

[phencyclidinc]

A funny feeling took over her upon hearing his name. "Matyr." She couldn't help but test it out on her own tongue, confirming how the odd sensation flourished inside her. As if there was some sort of power tied to his name and to the act of speaking it.

Filing those thoughts to be examined later, she took the offered card and glanced over it for a second before safely storing it away. "It surely doesn't happen often under these circumstances, but..." Angel wasn't one to lie for the sake of pleasantries in the first place, but their meeting felt significant in a way she couldn't quite pinpoint just yet. "It was nice to meet you." As nice as a shady alley allowed.

Meeting someone powerful who wasn't hostile towards mutantkind didn't happen every day. It would be nice to remain in good terms with him, but if that wasn't possible, being aware of him and his line of work would be useful too. "I'll keep in touch, handsome."

"Sounds like a fair deal." He didn't like the idea of tracking some poor kid down and having to drag him away for who knows what sort of punishment by the law. Being Matyr, he wasn't blind to the fact that not everyone was so welcoming of mutants and that not every cop would treat them the same as everyone else, regardless of what powers they had.

Or, conversely, if it didn't even reach that point and broke out into an all-out brawl between human police and mutants. Either way, nobody walked out of it well and the god certainly didn't want to be in the middle of it -- - or part of the cause. He would get a few extra names to add to the punishment list, but that wasn't exactly what he was looking for.

"Just what I was thinking." He agreed with a nod of his head, rummaging through one of his inside jacket pockets to find one of his own business cards, the name 'Matyr Han' at the top with his details below. "Swap you, Angel." He smoothly smiled cheekily, taking the card as he held out his own in return. "Name's Matyr."

Berakhot 9a: 23. "The Angel Ephesus."

I mentioned the angels wrote the Talmud, overseen by the Archangel Azrael, the god of the Instruction in the Torah. It was him that Adam and Evil disobeyed when they ate of the Fruit of the Tree too soon.

The Angel that wrote the Talmud is the Angel of Ephesus a compound angel that is explained as 2604, ב‎ו‎אֶפֶסד "in and out".

The angel of Ephesus is  a divine messenger described in the Bible's Revelation 2:1-7.The angel is said to speak words of encouragement and challenge people to live in the present, recover their first love, and keep their love for God and each other alive. The angel also offers a banquet of the tree of life, which includes nourishment, the crumbs of life's experiences, and the juice of every situation.  In Revelation 1-3, John is told to write to the "angels" of seven churches in Asia Minor, including the church in Ephesus. The angel of Ephesus is described as "The One with Seven Stars in his right-fist grip, striding through the golden seven-lights' circle". The angel is said to know the church's deeds, hard work, and patience, and that they cannot tolerate evil. However, Jesus threatens to remove the church's lampstand (or church) from Ephesus if the angel fails to repent. 

One cannot discuss the dictates of the Talmud without considering the Revelation of Saint John which predicts "all will be well" by the end of its exceptionally complex Torah.

The bizarre and twisting turning style of the Talmud seems like it would be the work of such a being which is hardly of one mind about very much of anything except the end of the End Times.

In 9a:23 we see it giving us directions that are sound, like the rest of its script as to what to do after we accept the fact the Mashiach is a "complex Day" with all the Seven Days are always taking place somewhere at once, within Three Shifts, always, always.

Even still there must be one morning after called the Age of the Mashiach. For this to have a measurable outcome, then we have to follow the Mishnah form for a Tanya, a special form called a Datanya, "the data please....show me I am the I am."

23. And here are conditions as here are conditions. Datanya, "There you shall sacrifice the Passover in the evening as the sun comes on the day of your departure from Egypt."

if we do not leave Egypt and subsume all the causes and forces of the Antichrist which are destroying this place and the Jewish people, the Angel Ephesus says "then God is the I am not", and the gods of evil win and there will be no way to win back.

The Value in Gematria is 8570, חהזאֶפֶס‎ ‎‎, hazapes, "The frown."

Frowns are matyrs=

The martyrs under the altar in the Book of Revelation are Jews who were killed proclaiming the necesseties of Shabbat and the Mashiach. God promises to avenge them.

A seal, 116, אה, is an "ah" a gathering of Jewish people. The Fifth Seal is 245, אתה, in the, "Are you who you say you are?"

9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 

10 They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” 

11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters,[e] were killed just as they had been."

The Values in Gematria are:

v. 9: He opened the Fifth Seal. The Number is 8560, ח‎הס‎, hhs, "the ratio, the attitude adjustment." This has to do with our height on the corkscrewing Torah Timeline.

v. 10: How long until you judge? The Number is 9100, ץק ,תא' "check in the locker in the stateroom."

v.11: They were told to wait a little longer.

In Shmot, God tells Moses and Aaron to wait until the Israelites fall much more deeply in love with making bricks all day and decide to listen to them.

19 The Israelite overseers realized they were in trouble when they were told, “You are not to reduce the number of bricks required of you for each day.” 20 When they left Pharaoh, they found Moses and Aaron waiting to meet them, 21 and they said, “May the Lord look on you and judge you! You have made us obnoxious to Pharaoh and his officials and have put a sword in their hand to kill us.”

In Behaalotekha, God says we cannot wait too long to make our final Report, however:

6 But some of them could not celebrate the Passover on that day because they were ceremonially unclean on account of a dead body. So they came to Moses and Aaron that same day 7 and said to Moses, “We have become unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be kept from presenting the Lord’s offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?”

8 Moses answered them, “Wait until I find out what the Lord commands concerning you.”

9 Then the Lord said to Moses, 10 “Tell the Israelites: ‘When any of you or your descendants are unclean because of a dead body or are away on a journey, they are still to celebrate the Lord’s Passover, 11 but they are to do it on the fourteenth day of the second month at twilight. They are to eat the lamb, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 12 They must not leave any of it till morning or break any of its fat. When they celebrate the Passover, they must follow all the regulations. 13 But if anyone who is ceremonially clean and not on a journey fails to celebrate the Passover, they must be cut off from their people for not presenting the Lord’s offering at the appointed time. They will bear the consequences of their sin.

The Number for the verse in Revelation is 13918, יג‎טאח‎‎, "will sweep."

From Vayera:

22 The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the Lord.[d]23 Then Abraham approached him and said: “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24 What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare[e] the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? 25 Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

No, we are not going to sweep away the righteous in our effort to rid the world of the inglorious to Thine Sight. That is not at all going to be a problem.

So the Gemara for this passage, a Datanya explains how and why we cannot just maintain our way of life or even prove the Torah is right and tell everyone to behave for the sake of everyone and everything else forever and ever.

There are the dead to avenge, three thousand years worth, and there are centuries ahead of times that will yet be ceremonially unclean until we figure out how to stop the Third World War, reverse climate change and raise the Number.

The Tanya here then is really more of a question for the current generation, have you had enough yet? Now is the time for the Report. And all the smart ones will know which Report to give.

Being Told No (NSFW)

"Damn Gal, back-at-it again with more sins nspired by @kikorenart -?" Yes, because apparently her beautiful, slutty work is the only think that got the creative-juices flowin' today. Now hush up, go admire this for a wee-bit, and enjoy your meal!

Warning: NSFW | MDNI. Feral Zaunite Revolutionaries, banter, couples-argument, rough-sex, kinda angry sex (?), P in V, Silco being a bastard for 800 words, what else is new?

“I’m going.”

“Ha. Like hell.”

“Fuck you, I am.” It was easy to remember how much of an insufferable bastard Silco was - any suave, cool and almost endearing qualities quickly left if he opened his mouth. It was especially ennunciated with that stupid, stubborn glare in his eyes as he spoke almost chidingly to you, but with a glinting-edge to his tone.

Like the flash of a knife, Silco’s voice was in-warning. “No, you’re not. I’ll take the job, you keep your pretty little-self at base until we find something more suitable for you. O-one that... preferably, doesn't include you getting pummeled by Topsiders, and t-... turned into some foolish matyr.”

Baring your teeth in a snarl, you were satisfied to hear a grunt sound when you twisted your fingers into his hair, likely pulling painfully. “First, screw off with the flattery, it doesn’t work. And don’t… fuck, don’t use we like you’re gonna pull Vander into this conversation, you o-overstepping, meddling prick-”

“Oh, that useless ‘flattery’ goes both-ways, doll.” 

“Fuck you.” Hatred for this jerk wasn’t a rare phenomenon, but Silco pulling rank was particularly grating. “Seriously, fuck y-you.”

It wasn’t hard to loathe Silco. But it was sometimes difficult to express your vexation when his cock is up-to-hilt within you.

His thrust slowing in order to drag deep within that spot within you, replacing the red in your vision with stars by the time his hips are flush to yours. “Let me make something very clear to you, dearest,” He hissed, only partially in annoyance as you clenched around him, your locked-ankles at his waist digging heels into his back. “I honestly do n-not care if you’re upset about being told no.”

“You-!” Your affronted cry of pleasure, indignation is cut off with his palm clamping on your jaw and chin, pushing just-so to clap your teeth together to muffle you as he leans. Dark-chair tickles your forehead , and a single bead of sweat rolls off his skin to land on yours.

“I don’t, “ He confirms. “You joined the cause, a-and are expected to do as you're told. F-for… for the good of our mission,” His tone is half a groan, mimicking the one you make as again he plunges himself deep within, dragging his head across your g-spot with pointedness to enunciate his pillow-lecturing. “Fuck… and for your o-own damn good as well.”

Nails dig into his wrist when you snatch at his hand, dragging it away. Not far enough, as his own fingers curl into your hair, with index lingering on your face in a touch that’s almost sweet. “I can handle myself.”

“Sure.”

“I CAN-!” A sharp slam of his hips causes you to scream out, nails surely drawing blood as Silco picks up into a more rapid, punishing pace that leaves you struggling to breath, let along counter his hurried growls that demand your attention, moreson than the cock pounding into you with the intentions of leaving you limping.

“What you can do, doll, is s-sit this one out. Better yet, lay this one out, because I d-... doubt you’ll be walking anytime soon.” Abandoning the arm holding himself up, Silco slumps on-top of you, held rigid only by pleasure, while his palm finds your calf and hikes it even further up his body, turning your vision white as he fucks into you with purpose.

Knuckles strain with how hard you yank his head closer to yours, teeth and bruised-lips soon clumsily clashing together to finally shut him up, and to attempt to muffle your moan of pleasure as your climax soon rolls you over. You don’t want to give him the satisfaction of letting him hear you scream out his name, though you're sure Silco picks it up anyway. A groan of your own name tumbles out of his mouth into yours, and he grows still over you as every jet of his release hits deep inside. 

You hate the fact that the sensation of him cumming into you is one that you relish. You’re supposed to be mad at him, not nearly brought to orgasm a second-time when you hear how raggedly he pants when popping his mouth off of yours. Cracking open your eyes, taking in hazed eyes, errant locks sticking to his slicked forehead and flushed-skin… Damn him. 

It was easy to remember how much of an insufferable bastard Silco was - and far, far too easy for you to remember why you love him, as he gazes down at you in such intense fervor, even when fucked-out like this..

It makes your own drained, definately-doomed to be limping-body flare with warmth again, a warmth that doesn’t leave, even when his stupidly alluring husked and breathless tone murmurs affectionately, “You’re still not going.”

You’d argue with words but, taking a page out of his book, you instead roll your hips with his, and inhale the strained, oversensitized hiss that sounds from him at your defiance around him. A defiance he responds to in-kind, with rolling thrusts that soon begin with purpose again.

The night is still young, and the mission isn’t scheduled until tomorrow. Plenty of time to… debate on your presence on that mission, as long as you are still capable of walking by the time it comes.

The 17 burning crosses are for the Lewes martyrs who were burnt for being Protestants during the reign of Mary I (1555-57).

Remember that bonfire night is the celebration of the failure of a catholic plot to blow up parliament in an attempt to kill King James the 1st and install his daughter as monarch and raise her Catholic so as to put a Catholic on the throne. It used to have much stronger anti-catholic sentiments but those have been largely stamped out as tolerance has become a norm (though the 17 Matyrs are still commemorated at Lewes and they still burn an effigy of Pope Paul V but have stopped also burning an effigy of the current pope)

Scorpios and The 8th House as The Little Mermaid

Today I was doing a reading for a client today then a brand new way of looking at the 8th house and Scorpio energy dawned on me.

Whenever we talk about the possessive nature of scorpio and the 8th house the main thing that we get out of it is how Scorpios can in turn turn themsleves into Matyrs in the name of love.

The 2H-8H axis is the Mine v Yours axis as I constantly say. Scorpio (if unchecked) has the capability to give up every defining characteristic about itself in the name of fusing and becoming one with its partner, because to Scorpio, they no longer exist as an individual… but as a piece of a unit with their person.

People talk about how Libra/Cancer/Pisces placements do this but never talk about Scorpio as if it’s not the literal house of merging. They, just like Ariel, give up their voice for their partners in the name of love because in their mind the sacrifice is worth it. That’s one thing they’re giving up to mesh with their person and become one.

The issue and naïveté comes when they expect others to always reciprocate this. What happens when you shed every piece of your skin to make way for this new person but they don’t reciprocate your efforts? Now you’re lost and will have a very difficult time finding your way back because you’ve become so meshed with this person. You don’t see yourself as yourself anymore but as a piece of a greater puzzle also known as Your Idealized Romance With Them.

Think of how in the movies when ppl go down unfamiliar paths they leave a trail to find their way back except in this instance the trail is literally your own identity.. except newsflash you’ve essentially gotten rid of everything that makes you You to become A Couple. It’s hard for you to even try to make your way back to what you used to be because you yourself forgot what that even was.

I think that’s why I find the Scorpio Taurus axis so interesting and why I emphaize scorpio placement relying on their Taurus counterparts. Scorpio wants to take and take and take and possess, while Taurus as romantic as it is is literally the overseer of personal boundaries and values and things that make you You. Taurus will give but not too much to the point where they lose all the things that make them themselves.

Scorpio will do these things because to them fusing and meshing with their partner is their greatest desire. it literally thinks the Relationship and being apart of a Couple is something greater than itself so to Scorpio it’ll gladly give up its voice and exist in this new void it’s created with their lover if it means the two of their souls are conjoined…..

But when has this ever in history been a healthy thing.. idk it’s just an interesting new perspective i came up w for the sign

[emersonfreepress]

heyyy loved ur demo it was intense as hell. loved when campbell said how mc was a matyr for their parents, which i wanted to ask how'd the ros react if mc subconsciously acted like that towards them? and if it isnt too much how would the ros react to mc's relationship w/ their parents and going along w their demands? yknow sometimes its hard to say no to family especially with how mcs mom acted in the intro. sorry if this is too much lmao i just finished the demo and my adrenaline is pumping. anywayyy stay safe and have a good day ❤❤❤❤

thanks so much for reading! i am glad it was intense since that's v much what I was going for ^ ^

jamal is a monster that i'm very fond of 😅 he does tend to give half-right advice every once in a while! and not letting ppl use you, even family, is a good one. sometimes saying no to family can be nauseatingly difficult, no matter how reasonable a 'no' might be for a situation. ugh and the turmoil of being almost an adult and 'no' basically being disallowed and classed as disobedience or disrespect 😒 both of the parents have a bit of my own mom to them, I'm basing much of their dependent behavior on her (may she never read this story lol). #youthrights y'all

i will refrain from the second question since the cast does react to your parents in-game! so to answer the first:

Gabe would let this go on, but once you're actually friends he'd just get fed up with it one day. While you're making some subtle self-sacrifice, he'd interrupt you and stop everything to talk to you about it (or at you, depending on how you take it lol). "Stop that. Just—stop."

Kile would be super annoyed. Not annoyed at the MC but annoyed by the self-sacrificing tendency itself. Martyrdom is some shit (they claim) they cannot comprehend.

Jack, Jessie, and Vi (in some ways) are the same so they get it. Jack understands how self-sacrifice can be detrimental but can't really help himself so he wouldn't really know what to say to you. Jessie can't stop and doesn't even realize she could do well with some moderation. Vi would be actively biting their tongue not to push back against such behavior since they have little room to talk.

Rain's got a pretty local mentality, so they're cynical and disapproving of such an attitude. They'd be subtly pushing you to indulge in more selfish impulses and prioritize finding out what you want in a certain situations.

R would admire this about you but start laying down little rules for you to get you to stop sacrificing your own happiness, if nothing else. Similar to Rain in a way, but they're far more blatant about it. They might launch into a rant or two about selfish parents and anarchy ��😂

Heidi is morally opposed to martyrdom, despite the cross around her neck 😅 She wouldn't be able to take a self-sacrificing MC seriously in almost any way outside of academic achievements. (She'd still date one tho.) trust, it'll eventually be v clear how she feels about this personality type when you see her interact with Jessie 😅

Curt would find a martyr personality novel and curious. Most convos, he'd be subtly picking your brain to see what makes you tick. Why you're willing to sacrifice yourself for others. He gets that some ppl are like that, but doesn't understand the motivations for it and sees it as an impractical, tedious way to live.

The Order of the Garter was created on April 23rd, 1344 & was created to help King Edward’s claim to the French throne. The Order is dedicated to Saint George because he is the Patron Saint of England. The Most Noble Order of the Garter was inspired by the Spanish Order of the Band, which was created in 1330.

The earliest mention of The Most Noble Order of the Garter was mentioned in Tirant to Blanch by Joanot Martorell, a chivalric romance piece of literature (A literary genre of high culture), which was written in Catalan (Now called Valencian Language) in 1490. King Edward III’s wardrobe shows that Garter habits first issued in 1348. The Middle English poem “Sir Gawain & the Green Knight,” which was written in the late 14th century, mentions The Most Noble Order of the Garter. In the poem, a girdle is very similar to a garter (in an erotic way). The poem also mentions a different version of the Order’s motto which is written “Corsed worth cowarddyse and couetyse bope,” which translates to “Cursed be both cowardice and coveting.” The author of the poem is argued by scholars but there is a connection between two candidates: John of Gaunt Duke of Aquitaine & Enguerrand VII de Coucy. Enguerrand was married to King Edward III’s daughter Countess Isabella of Bedford & was received the Order of the Garter on their wedding day.

(King Richard 1 of England)

Various stories & legends surround the origin of The Most Noble Order of the Garter. 

The most popular story involves Catherine (Grandison) Montagu The Countess of Salisbury. It is said, that the countess’s garter slipped off from her leg, while she was dancing at a court ball that took place in Calais, France. When the garter slipped from the countess’s leg, courtiers laughed & just watched the scene happen. The King saw what had happen & returned the garter to the Countess exclaiming “Honi soit qui mal y pense!" Which translates in English to “Shame on him who thinks ill of it!” This is saying that is written on the The Most Noble Order of the Garter. 

The earliest written story dates back to the 1460′s. A garter in the mid-14th century, was seen mostly as a item of male attire. Looking back on the story, the garter (that was seen as item of female underclothing), actually has the garter stated as a symbol of a band of knights.

A 2nd story is connected to King Richard I of England. In the 12th century, King Richard was inspired by St. George the Matyr, while he was fighting in the Crusades (A series of religious wars in Western Asia & Europe between the 11th & 17th century). The king tied garters around the legs of his knights, who won the battle. King Edward, recalled the story of King Richard during the 14th century when founding the The Most Noble Order of the Garter. This story is actually recounted in a letter to the Annual Register (A long-established reference work, written and published each year, which records and analyses the year's major events, developments and trends throughout the world) that was written in 1774.

𝒟𝑒𝓈𝒾𝑔𝓃 𝑜𝒻 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐸𝓂𝒷𝓁𝑒𝓂

The emblem for The Most Noble Order of the Garter is a garter with a written Middle French Moto that says "Honi soit qui mal y pense” which means “Shame on him who thinks evil of it” & the motto is written in gold lettering. The motto refers to King Edward’s claim to the French throne. The use of the garter with the emblem, derived from straps that are used to fasten armor & was chosen because of the tight-knit “band/bond” of Edward’s knightly cause supporters.

Each member would nominate 9 candidates who have the rank of either Earl or higher (3 members), have the rank of Baron or higher (3 members), & have the rank of Knight or higher (3 members). The Sovereign then personally chooses as many nominees that as necessary to fill any vacant spots in the current Order of the Garter. But with the nominees comes a decision. The Sovereign (He or She), are not obliged to choose the nominees who received the most nomination counts. This practice ended in 1860. Today, before receiving the The Most Noble Order of the Garter, an appointment is made with the Sovereign (A.K.A: The Queen) at sole discretion.

(The Right Honorable Sir Winston Churchill)

During the 18th century, the Sovereign would choose those to serve on The Most Noble Order of the Garter, by the advice of the current Government. In 1946, membership of the United Kingdom’s highest ranking orders of Chivalry (The Most Illustrious Order of Saint Patrick, The Most Noble Order of the Garter, & Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle) became a personal choice of the Sovereign once again, with the joint agreement of Prime Minister The Right Honorable Clement Attlee 1st Earl of Attlee & The Leader of the Opposition The Right Honorable Sir Winston Churchill.

The person being appointed to the Order is announced on April 23rd which is known as St. George’s Day. When created, it was said that the original status required that each member of the Order already be a knight (now referred to as a Knight Bachelor). The initial members were knighted the year, the order was created.

After The Most Noble Order of the Garter was founded, like men, women were appointed Ladies of the Garter but were not companions. Ladies of the Garter included: Lady Margaret Beaufort (Mother to King Henry VII of England), Her Majesty Queen Alexandra (Wife of His Majesty King Edward VII: She was named Lady of the Garter by her husband), Her Majesty Queen Mary (Wife to His Majesty King George V: She was named Lady of the Garter by her husband), & Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother (Wife to His Majesty King George VI: She was named Lady of the Garter by her husband). This practice though, was put to a stop by King Henry VII of England in 1488. Although beginning in the 20th century, women began to be re-associated with the The Most Noble Order of the Garter, but were again not made companions. In 1987, under the statue of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, it became possible to install “Ladies Companion of the Garter.”

Along with the Founder, Ladies Companion of the Garter, & The Original Members of the The Most Noble Order of the Garter, there is another group of members who receive this honor. These members are called Supernumerary Members & they are the members who do not count towards the limit of the 24 Living Family Members/Companions but are in association of the Order. These members can also be referred to Royal Knights & Ladies of the Garter.

(His Majesty King George I of Great Britain)

(His Majesty King George II of Great Britain)

(His Majesty King George III of The United Kingdom)

(His Imperial Majesty Emperor Alexander I of Russia)

These titles were created by His Majesty King George III of The United Kingdom in 1786 but didn’t create the statute of Supernumerary Members until 1805. He created the title of Supernumerary Members, so that his sons didn’t count toward the 24 companion limit. King George created the statute of members, so that any descendant of His Majesty King George II of Great Britain, could not be installed in The Most Noble Order of the Garter as such a member. 8 years later in 1813, during the reign of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Alexander I of Russia, a membership of being a supernumerary member was extended to foreign monarchs. These members were known as Stranger Knights & Ladies of the Garter. The Statute of Supernumerary Members was put back into play in 1831 & extended to all descendants of His Majesty King George I of Great Britain. In 1954, each installation into The Most Noble Order of the Garter, required an enactment of the statute. The statute authorizes the regular admission of Stranger Knights & Ladies of the Garter without further special enactments.

*Fact: The Most Noble Order of the Garter is only allowed to The Sovereign/Monarch, The Heir to the Throne, 24 Living Family Members/Companions, & Various Supernumerary (not belonging to a regular staff but engaged for work) Members. The Monarch alone can also grant membership.*

The Degradation of a Member of the The Most Noble Order of the Garter is a big issue, but can be done by the current Sovereign. This began in the late 15th century. 

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒟𝑒𝑔𝓇𝒶𝒹𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒫𝓇𝑜𝒸𝑒𝓈𝓈

During the 15th century, The Degradation of a Member of the The Most Noble Order of the Garter was a formal ceremony. The Garter King of Arms is accompanied by the rest of the members at St. George’s Chapel. The Garter of Arms reads aloud the reason for degradation as a member climbs up a ladder to remove the former knights banner, crest, helm, & sword into the choir. The other members then lead the degraded knight down the length of the chapel, out the doors, & into the castle ditch. 

𝐿𝒾𝓈𝓉 𝑜𝒻 𝒟𝑒𝑔𝓇𝒶𝒹𝑒𝒹 𝑀𝑒𝓂𝒷𝑒𝓇𝓈

During World War 1, a total of 8 knights were degraded from their positions: 2 Royal Knights & 6 Stranger Knights. These knights were rulers, monarchs, or princes of enemy nations in 1915.

To say Logan had an internal sigh of relief flood through him would've been an understatement. Often times, nowadays at least, he usually refrained from any form of confession, even if it's something small such as this. Something more subtle. But he couldn't deny it, not even a little bit. He'd seen Matyr work, seen him exhausted, and the blonde had a rather strong pull to him, to want to help him bounce back on his rough days or see that smile as often as possible. And to see one so soft now, so...genuine in authenticity, it made his heart flutter.

The hand on his knee is not shaken away or ignored, either. Rather when he seems to notice the other growing a tad nervous, Logan grows wary. While he is not one to outright run, he is easy to spook, so to speak. Given what he'd already been through when thinking of confessing, well, while this is nowhere near that situation, he still feels a rush of butterflies. His hand finds and settles atop Matyr's for what comfort it may provide. "I'm listening...surely I've heard worse before." He tries to add with a soft smile. "Take your time, I'm not going anywhere."

@teslalindocruz this is going to be v. rambly because it kinda ties into shipping and the mentality around that but uhh yeah re: arrancar and affection

I should start with the disclaimer that I feel most of my thoughts get disregarded because ppl tend to only like my Bleach thoughts when it has the barest mention of The Ship War, which I’m sick to death of. and if not that, because my main ship is one no one else likes, and due to that I feel the compulsion to even justify why I even like it, which leads to this.

I feel I’ve written a bit about this before but who knows where it’s scattered on my blog, between replies and personal writing and such. anyway, out of universe I know that thinking of arrancar being capable of any kind of affection, especially romantic, is very much a self-indulgent thing on behalf of whomever wants to see so-and-so together. so thinking about it in general has some suspension of belief, because clearly how the characters canonically feel doesn’t matter if we wanna see Grimmjow smooch whomever we choose.

Putting that aside, however, I think it’s a disservice to the characters to just wholly dismiss them as incapable of intricate emotion. The whole myth that they’re just heartless monsters is what perpetuates how they’re treated in the series and why we shouldn’t feel anything when they’re killed to further the story and show off various shikai and bankai due to fan demand (I’ve gone on enough about that, though). I feel once we got to the FKT battles, most had completely forgotten how the origin of Hollows, and how they’re tragic and pitiable, at their core.

granted, some of them do just go out of their way to be Terrible for selfish reasons, whether they’re acting out (Nnoitra, Grimmjow), or just because they can (Aaroniero, Szayel). And some just don’t feel anything at all and have never seen enough to convince them there’s more to whatever (Ulquiorra). I think the selfishness is the keyword here as I think that’s why Kubo labelled them as inherently evil; it’s mentioned in the interview section of Masked, which I don’t feel like pulling up atm, and I’m certain has to do with Japanese societal ideals which I can’t speak on re: the conception and his philosophy on why he calls them as such. but in-universe, we get more than one or two examples of them being capable of growth, and even affection and caring for others.

Nelliel is probably the best example, as she was always presented as noble... mostly. She has an undeniable amount of affection for Ichigo and her fracciónes and a popular (and very good!) idea is that this extends to Harribel and her own after the war. I feel like most forget that Nel’s most “typical arrancar” tendencies came out in her interactions with Nnoitra (I’m not saying she was mean to him; more that they were shitty to each other because that’s how arrancar are), and to a lesser extent how she was towards to Grimmjow and possibly her reasoning for rescuing Harribel. I’m not saying Nel’s actually Bad or anything, just that she’s both not just one-dimensional example of pure and good while also demonstrating that arrancar aren’t Just Evil.

usually it’s the female arrancar I think of first that exhibited these traits showing that they as a whole can be more. I really wish Harribel’s protectiveness towards her fracciónes had been brought up more, as that could have been a justifiable reason why she held back (didn’t want to drown them, for example), and why she finally let loose (when they were defeated, presumably killed). anyway, just saying that “the women are soft and good”can be seen as sexist, but Loly, Menoly and Cirucci defied that trope. and they weren’t the only ones.

Starrk and Lilynette were also ones who considered the company of their fellow arrancar more important than anything else, and while it was for inherently selfish reasons (loneliness and all) and they didn’t actually help everyone to not die, I think anyone could struggle to call them evil. Tesla, also, is another great example of being capable of affection, as his defining trait was his devotion to Nnoitra, despite his treatment. their relationship wasn’t ideal by any means for our standards, but for the types of beings they are, and how they were largely portrayed, Tesla could be seen as kind of a. idk, matyr? in his devotion to Nnoitra. (but you could tell me more about that, haha.) it’s more sad than admirable, but it was poignant.

and to a somewhat lesser extent than the above examples, we have Grimmjow and his fracciónes. themost we see out of Grimmjow is some semblance of sentimentality for how he carried the others with him after they let themselves be eaten, and how he was thinking of them during his fight with Ichigo. but that can be debatable as it can easily just have to do with his own ego and self-image. instead, the pertinent character here, for me, is Shawlong, which I have written about already. I think he’s the only arrancar explicitly stated to have loved something about another arrancar, unless I missed a keyword in Tesla’s data page. this can be seen largely as admiration, and more than likely have to do with the instinct of weaker Hollows to follow the stronger ones, as Cirucci extrapolates at one point. I feel Shawlong’s devotion was just as pertinent as Tesla’s, especially how he’s the one to instill the idea of Grimmjow being a king that Grimmjow himself adopts; I’m pretty sure this is overlooked because Shawlong isn’t hot to most people so he gets disregarded as an important relation to Grimmjow.

I also feel there’s something that could be said about why Zommari calls his resurreccíon’s ability Love, and why he defined it as having to do with control, but I’ll have to come back to that. I don’t have his speech committed to memory and while he obviously wasn’t talking about any kind of affectionate or romantic love, just the fact that he had even an idea of the concept is endlessly fascinating to me. and goes to show that what arrancar could define as affection or love would not be how we, as humans, would see it.

but it doesn’t mean they’re incapable.

(tangibly related, but I did ramble about all three arrancats and physical affection in this post.)

As soon as Logan had spotted the stone, he had a feeling it would be dearly missed, so he made it a point to get it back to the man who dropped it. Though he proved to be on a mission presently, he somehow gained his attention and tried not to chuckle at the exclamation the stranger let slip at the sight of the rock.

The blonde was not one to find offense at the way the rock is snatched: things like this sometimes held high emotional significance in people. He nods with a soft smile at the thanks. "You're welcome." Honey brows furrow slightly at the extra comments, though. "No, I don't need money. I've got something similar to that at home and I thought it belongs with you than in someone else's backyard." Thoughts flit to the worry stone on the shrine back home on his bookshelf, his Mimas stone as Melanie coined it. "Don't let me keep you, it seemed like you were busy."

[ssolessurvivor]

@turkicgods continued {xx}

He wasn't surprised to hear that the stone was a piece of Matyr's home, in fact, he'd had a hunch since he'd learned of the other's past and his true identity. Either way, he listens with rapt attentions and a fascination all the same. There's almost an absence of warmth when the other had sat up a bit more to explain it all easier, and Logan allowed his mismatched eyes a moment or two to glance back at it, sitting there suddenly so heavy on the table. All it meant and all it held within itself...seemed so intimidating.

Gaze returns to Matyr however at the warning uttered on a quiet voice. The blonde watches him, taking in all the subtle mannerisms he'd come to know, granted in different circumstances, but now they seemed all the more important, more beautiful. "Do you ever miss it?" He's genuinely curious, as the god should know by now, he's practically childlike in wanting to know as much as he can. "I mean, I know you said you'd never go back. But the place, sometimes, holds memory." A hand shifts to cradle Matyr's cheek, the scruff there comforting. "Your light, your goodness, don't belong there."

[ssolessurvivor]

@turkicgods continued [x]

That single sentence is more than enough to give Logan a general understanding of what Matyr could possibly be feeling. While it's different with sisters, he does have a semblance of reference. Honey brows furrow in more concern over it, though, watching how it effects the man in front of him, how it alters him. He doesn't like it for some reason, it makes him find a resolve deep within himself. He listens to all of it, watching the concern on the man's features, marring their quiet confidence.

"What can I do to help?" Logan asks, taking a tentative step forward, showing in his own way he is here for Matyr, no matter what. "While I may not understand the whole story, nor do I need to be told, sometimes it's better to have someone neutral with you. Assuming, that is, if you'd let me come with you. That way, you aren't alone in a vulnerable moment, with someone who could be...otherwise cruel. Sometimes people hold themselves more in check when they have unknown eyes on them."

random nightmare drabble for @turkicgods cause my brain needed some horror apparently

His temples had been throbbing all night with a headache that only intensified when he became trapped within his dreams.

Yet familiarity was displaced by a shocking change. The thing trod over gore and bloodshed but he could see Shyngay watching deep in the dark with a smile painting his lips. Something burned in the center of his chest but he wore nothing to cause such pain. The creature prowls forward and Logan tries to maintain some semblance that this isn't real, he's safe, just stuck in a never ending loop. But it charges him and the blonde can't hold the scream from ripping up the flesh in his throat. Eyes squeeze shut but feels no immediate pain, rather laughter all around him. It sounds familiar but he's opened his eyes to find himself...in the underworld.

These rocks give off a chilling cold that seeps through to his bones. Shyngay appears again with the face of a monster, maw opening to show needle-like teeth and black ooze spilling over his chin.

"This isn't you." Logan murmurs, voice trembling as the young god crumbles to heaps of that black rock surrounding him. The blonde shakes as he stands, looking around to gather his wits. There's not much here but far off cries of desolate screams, broken whimpering and cries of anguished terror.

He barely has time to wander when Matyr suddenly emerges from a wall of rock, but his face is different. Logan can't place it when the silence goes deafening. His heart beats when the twisted god he loves moves faster than his tired eyes can comprehend. A godly hand closes around something on his chest and shatters in colors of sunbeams and blood. Matyr says nothing but hisses in pain, this shade of him, yet Logan's panic gives in to watching him slowly disintegrate into sand and ash. Little pleas escape Logan's lips as he tries to clutch and grasp, to keep Matyr in his hands, but nothing works as he slips through the blonde's fingers. Watching the sediment pile up, the blood on his clothes, his lover's blood, repulses him. Rubbing and smearing it from his clothes only worsens this disgusting feeling burning his throat like bile.

The panic seeping into his breathing masked the sound.

His neck is suddenly encased in thorny vines, having ascended from the depths. Granules of hot earth sear his skin as yet more and more vines pop and reach up, wrapping around his wrists and arms, pulling. Tugging him down down down. Flattened to the ground with a gasp for air, whispers and hoarse voices dangle and pepper the very air he struggles to breathe, rippling against his eardrums. Hands poke through the soil and claw at his clothes, his hair, his skin and he finally whimpers. Gives in to the fear. Those voices mock him for it and he barely has a moment to register that he sees someone walking towards him.

Temir stands and Logan feels a heavy weight slowly encasing him. The god's laughter mingles with a chilling weeping noise, accompanied later with a demonic roar. Logan feels the weight creep further and further up his body. The vines tighten and cut off air as he takes one last broken breath and screams-

-a scream which resounds broken and strangled in the bedroom walls, sweat coating his forehead and trying to come back to reality. Breathing burns his throat, as if he'd been running, yet the pillow and sheets are mildly damp. Breathe, it's alright. Breathe...

[ssolessurvivor]

" you're shivering. here, take my jacket. " - Matyr

memes - always accepting! - @turkicgods

This cold day definitely snuck up on him. When the chill of it just sits around you, entirely unmoving, and the fog doesn't even burn off from the tops of the trees, that is the dead giveaway. He's gonna need to be more careful about layering up again, not that he minds. And as much as he likes to think he's good at hiding his shivers, his neck is particularly susceptible to the temperature fluctuations. But it also reminds him of the cold of the station, something his whole body tries to push away by creating warmth, or trying to, at any rate.

So he's surprised when Matyr simply sheds his jacket almost without a second thought, or a word against it clearly, that gets stuck in the blonde's throat. He's lucky he doesn't choke on it when he's trying to make the blush on his cheeks vanish as he smiles and gives a soft thanks, taking the offered jacket and slipping it on. The warmth is immediate, a hum escapes him before he swallows a flurry of butterflies. Even something so simple as this is immensely appreciated.

"You must not run cold then?" He asks, feeling guilty for robbing Matyr of his coat. But then again, nearly all men ran warm so, Logan is the exception.
