Made some kin affirming moodboards for myself based on 3 of my kintypes/hearttypes! It was actually pretty enjoyable to make :3

I don’t take requests for moodboards, I did these solely for myself. Please don’t ask for moodboards; I may do them someday, but not today. /lh /nm

[autumn-b0nes]

Ok so I’ve been researching and analyzing myself, I still don’t know if it’s a specific kind of water (rain, lake, ocean) but I think it might be a hearttype.

I have one other hearttype, a mourning dove, and this feels similar to that.

Back into the research pile I go 👋💧

Looking into elementkin stuff bc as i learn more about it im questioning waterkin 🥲

[wind-kin]

Although im not waterkin/waterhearted, as a fellow elementkin i have a recommendation of a webnovel to yall!

It's called "Elqueeness" and it's a 2004 korean web novel about a teenage boy who dies in a car accident and finds out that he is actually the Water Spirit King, Elqueeness, and that he was mistakenly born as a human. Then, the story follows his adventures as a Spirit King with human memories in a fantasy world.

Tw: The story contains transphobia, misogyny, sexism, strong beauty standards and talks a lot about death since the protagonist is immortal.

Although I'm not waterkin, this story made me awaken as an elementkin and it's very special to me. It is THE wish fulfillment fantasy for me lols

In terms of quality i give it a solid 3/5. I love this story very much but the sexism really took me out many times and, towards the end there were many plotlines either left hanging or straight up rushed and not finished properly. It managed make me cry a lot tho, so props for that.

I recommend not going in expecting high levels of literature, but i still think its worth reading. The protagonist and the cast are very likeable, the worldbuilding is interesting especially in the later half and the novel is just a very fun read. It's a type of unforgettable story that marks your forever, and, even with it's failings, you will still love and appreciate it in the end.

And, if you're otherkin but specifically elementkin/conceptkin/ spiritkin like me, it's a heaven for self insert fantasies!

So please, read it! Its worthy it!

naturehearted

So. I realized recently that my identity is connected to water or nature?? Idk. Do we have a microlabel for this yet? If we don't, I think naturehearted, waterhearted, or oceanhearted work for me. Also possibly cryptids, which is the same idea. Cryptidhearted. All of these feel wild and ancient, and each resonates with me.

Being otherhearted means your identity is connected to, but not being, (blank). I believe.

That's all, thanks for your time!

Victoria Amelina, a Ukrainian writer, and our dearest colleague, passed away

Daniel Mordzinski

With our greatest pain, we inform you that Ukrainian writer Victoria Amelina passed away on July 1st in Mechnikov Hospital in Dnipro. Her death was caused by injuries incompatible with life, which she suffered from during the Russian missile shelling of a restaurant in Kramatorsk on June 27th, 2023. We are announcing this news now when all Victoria's family members have learned about it and with their consent.

On June 27th, Victoria Amelina, Ukrainian writer and member of PEN Ukraine, who has been documenting Russian war crimes with the human rights initiative Truth Hounds, was in Kramatorsk with a delegation of Colombian writers and journalists. As they were having dinner at the Ria Lounge restaurant downtown, Russians launched a missile attack on this restaurant. Victoria was severely injured. Doctors and paramedics in Kramatorsk and Dnipro did everything they could to save her life, but the injuries were fatal and incompatible with life. In the last days of Victoria’s life, her closest people and friends were with her.

Based upon interviews with witnesses, PEN Ukraine and Truth Hounds said earlier that the Russian shelling of a civilian object in a Ukrainian city was another war crime of the Russian army in Ukraine. The analysis of destruction and evidence from witnesses show that Russians use a high-precision Iskander missile. They clearly knew that they were shelling a place with many civilians inside. We know of 13 dead and about 60 wounded.

Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Victoria Amelina has expanded her work far beyond literature. In 2022 she joined the human rights organization Truth Hounds. She has been documenting Russian war crimes on de-occupied territories in the Eastern, Southern and Northern parts of Ukraine, in particular in Kapytolivka near Izyum where she found a diary of Volodymyr Vakulenko, a Ukrainian writer killed by the Russians.

During this time Victoria also started working on her first non-fiction book in English. In War and Justice Diary: Looking at Women Looking at War, which should soon be published abroad, Victoria tells stories of Ukrainian women who are documenting Russian war crimes, and their lives during the war. She also did advocacy work in other countries, calling on the governments of those countries to enhance Ukrainian defense against Russian aggression by supplying weapons to Ukraine, and demanding justice and the international tribunal for all those who organized and committed Russian war crimes in Ukraine. She also raised the issue of commonalities in the anti-colonial fight of Ukrainians and other nations of the world.

Victoria Amelina was born on January 1st, 1986, in Lviv. While still in school, she moved to Canada with her father, but soon decided to come back to Ukraine. In 2007 she received her master’s in computer technology cum laude from Lviv Polytechnic University. In 2005-2015 she worked in international IT companies.

In 2014 she published her first novel, The November Syndrom, or Homo Compatiens. The book was listed in the top 10 of the best prose books, according to the annual rating of LitAktsent, a Ukrainian literature website. It was republished the next year and entered the shortlist of Valeriy Shevchuk Prize.

In 2015, Victoria Amelina suspended her work in IT and dedicated herself fully to her writing. In 2016 she published her first children’s book, Somebody, or Waterheart. Her next book, Storie-e-es of Eka the Excavator was published in 2021. Her second novel, Dom’s Dream Kingdom (Dim dlya Doma), was published in 2017 with Old Lion Publishers in Lviv. The book was shortlisted for both national and international awards: LitAktsent 2017 Prize UNESCO City of Literature Prize, and the European Union Prize for Literature. Knyzhkova Toloka, a book festival in Zaporizhzhia, named Dom’s Dream Kingdom the best prose book of the year.

Victoria Amelina’s texts have been published in translation into Polish, Czech, German, Dutch, and English. Dom’s Dream Kingdom has been recently translated into Spanish.

In 2021 Victoria received the Joseph Conrad-Korzeniowski literature prize. The same year, she founded the New York Literature Festival in the town of New York in the Bakhmut rayon of the Donetsk oblast, Eastern part of Ukraine.

We share the tremendous pain and express the sincerest compassion to the family members, friends, and colleagues of our dearest Victoria.

Very soon her family members will inform you about the time and place of the farewell gathering and funeral of Victoria in Kyiv and Lviv.

For us, Victoria’s friends and colleagues, it is very important the cultural initiatives set up by her, could last. Very soon we will share with you information about the ways you can support her life’s work.

Tankless Water Heater

As the name suggests, a tankless water heater helps to heat the water directly without the tank’s usage. This type of heater is quite famous these days as it takes less space than the traditional water heaters. There is a constant supply of hot water through the help of a tankless water heater. When turned on for hot water, the cold water runs through a pipe in the tankless water heater and is further heated with the help of gas, burner or an electric element. A tankless water heater can be an excellent option for big families, as they might need a lot of hot water, and installing more than one water heater may be common for them. Having a tankless water heater ensures that you will always have hot water available for showers, dishes, and laundry. A tankless water heater provides you with an ample amount of hot water whenever needed, and it also helps save a lot on your utility bills.

Working

Whenever there is a need for water, and the tap for the hot water turns on, the cold water flows through the tankless water heater from the inlet pipe.

When the water reaches the bottom of the water heater, the flames ignite and charge two of the heat exchangers.

While the water passes through a stainless steel heat exchanger, the water gets preheated.

The water finally exits through the hot water outlet and is continuously heated throughout the process.

As soon as the hot water tap switches off, the flow of cold water into the tankless water heater stops.

Types Of Tankless Water Heaters

Electric Heaters

Electric tankless water heaters can be the best choice for you if you have a house that already has a wired electric water heater. An electric tankless water heater is considered to be one of the most energy-efficient water heaters today. Getting an electric tankless water heater when your house has the apt electricity supply will save you a lot on utility bills. Going for gas or any other option would cost you more. Electric tankless water heaters can boost up the energy efficiency up to 99%.

Gas Heaters

Gas tankless heaters can be the best option for big families and commercial usage. The reason for the same is because the tankless gas heaters are more efficient and powerful than the electric ones. Gas heaters can be the best option for you if your house wiring does not support water heating. Choosing an electric one in such a case will increase your utility bills. Since they are more efficient than electric ones, they are more expensive. This type of water heater comes with an additional accessory known as a condensing unit. A condensing unit uses the heat from the exhaust fumes to heat water, and thus works more efficiently than the regular tankless water heaters.

Commercial Heaters

A heater for a commercial purpose should have a high BTU and flow rate. For industrial use, the water requirement is heavy, so the hot water system should be quick. Mostly the commercial heaters are gas-powered.

Whole-House Water Heaters

Often people install multiple tankless water heaters so that there is a hot water supply in the entire house. But if you are someone who does not want to go for multiple heaters, you can choose whole-house water heaters. It is a single tankless water heater that delivers hot water supply in the entire house. In such water heaters, you should always pay attention to the number of water outlets it has.

Portable and RV Heaters

As the name suggests, these are the tankless heaters and are portable. This type of heater does the same work as the others.

Hybrid Water Systems

This type of water heater is comparatively more expensive than the others. Hybrid water systems are a mixture of both the traditional and the latest tankless water heaters. This type of heater moves heat from one area to another rather than generating heat.

How To Select A Tankless Water Heater

If you are going to buy a tankless water heater for the first time, then you should consider the below points mentioned below.

Size

Fuel type and availability

Energy efficiency

Cost

Benefits Of Tankless Water Heaters

Low utility bills: Since the tankless water heaters do not have to store water and can give hot water as soon as the tap for hot water turns on, it saves a lot of energy and results in low utility bills.

Continuous supply of hot water: You often receive a splash of cold water while taking a shower, which happens with the tank-based water heaters when the stored water finishes. With tankless water heaters, you can forget this issue as it can supply 7-15.2 litres of hot water.

Better longevity: In the long run, tankless water heaters are the best; they require less maintenance and have a good life span.

Operates on natural gas or propane: Without using too much energy, the tankless water heaters use natural gas or propane for the process of water heating.

Compact size: The size of tankless water heaters is quite compact, and you can easily mount them on a wall.

Less energy wasted: Since the tankless water heaters are gas-based, they take up less energy. Also, the tankless heaters do not store water as the tanked-based ones do.

Less maintenance: Though the initial installation price of the tankless water heaters is high, they do not need regular maintenance and have a long life span.

Getting a splash of cold water in the middle of your shower is something that you would want to avoid. Hot water is required for your laundry and dishes, and no one wants to deal with cold water in the middle of winters.

🌲🌻⭐️

Ask game :3

🌲= I would say my main theriotypes are dog (specifically Duck tolling retriever and Cavalier king charles spaniel) and cat (specifically Norwegian forest cat and munchkin/american curl mix). I seem to flip flop between which ones are the most prominent, so I chose both of these.

🌻= I don’t have too many songs with lyrics that reminds me of my theriotypes, but I have a few without lyrics. For dog, they would be Doggone Dogfight (cuphead dlc), Dog Nightmare (jack stauber), Dog (C418), Home (undertale), clan settlement (pokemon legends arceus), and jubilife village outdoors (pokemon legends arceus (version 2)). Honourable mention goes to the 101 dalmatian and Lady and the Tramp soundtracks. For cat, they would be fazathecat, cats (the living tombstone), cat (C418), death (C418), and the heartwood (pokemon legends arceus). For dragon, they would be stand tall (lena raine), wending (lena raine), echo in the wind (aaron cherof), the real world (owl city), wrong path (rolling sky 2), vinicunca mountain (rolling sky 2), obsidian fieldlands (pokemon legends arceus (version 2)), lake theme (pokemon legends arceus), ho-oh battle theme (oras), area zero (pokemon scarlet and violet), and castle in the mist (ico). And for water, they would be dragon fish (C418), axolotl (C418), bubblaine (super mario odyssey), explorers (sky sailing), in all my dreams I drown (jessica lowndes), stranded lullaby (miracle musical), and I cover the waterfront (the ink spots).

⭐️= having multiple theriotypes is great! Each type represents me perfectly, and I would feel pretty empty if I didn’t have all my types. They all seem to mesh pretty well with each other, so I haven’t had many identity issues so far.

Chapter 10: Knowledge and new friends

Hours later the group of Parabatai returned to the institute, their heads hanging low. Izzy was running up to them as they walked in but draw up short as she sees them. Running up next to her came Xander and Ruthie. Seeing their face they all went ghost white.

“What happened?” Ruthie asked?

“We failed…” Angelique sighs. Jace and Mekyle punch the wall they were each standing next to. This made Clary jump a little. Alec walked over and placed his hand on Jace’s shoulder.

“Hurting yourself is not going to do us any good. We need to find the Prince of hell and send him back,” Alec says.

“Or kill him!” Simon snaps

“We will make this right. We are Shadowhunters,” Izzy says, offering them all a warm smile.

“Plus we got a leg up on Sinara now,” Ruthie says with a bright smile.

Jace worlds around and glares at her. This makes Ruthie cringe back, losing her smiles. “A leg up! A leg up! How the hell is letting a prince of hell free into our world a Damn leg up newbie!”

Xander steps in front of Ruthie and right into Jace’s face. “I respect that you're our institute head and I know you could most likely kill me six ways from Sunday but I won’t let any member of my squad be talked to like that!”

Jace’s face goes red and he balls up his fist and starts to swing at the young Shadowhunter when faster than anyone could blink Alec has grabbed Jace by the arms and was halling him back. Jace was fighting Alec the whole way. Xander however did not move from in front of his teammate.

Clary quickly got into Jace’s face and glared at him. “Jace knock it off. They were not there they don’t know what happened plus let’s see what this leg up Ruthie is talking about really is.”

Jace goes limp in Alec’s arms, his face Softening. Clary turns and looks at Xander and Ruthie. “Ok guys, what is this leg up you are talking about?”

Ruthie gives out a little squeak and steps out from behind Xander. “Is he going to yell at me again?”

“No honey it’s ok now,” Clary says with a soft voice.

“We have one of the gatekeeper here.” Ruthie slowly replied.

“What?” Simon spoke up and moved in front of Jace, Alec, and Clary.

“We made a trip to the Shadow Market and Learned. That an old friend of mine is one of the gatekeepers.” Izzy explained.

“You know a really old Shadowhunter?” Mekyle asks, raising an eyebrow.

“No, she is a downworlder.” She replays

“Huh,” the group of Parabatai all looked very dumbfounded.

Izzy leads them to the infirmary with Xander and Ruthie at each side of her. Cassandra was laying in one of the beds, her right arm was wrapped in bandages. She slowly set up her eyes flicking yellow like a dog.

“Guys this is Cassandra Willows she is a warlock,” Izzy says and points to Cass.

“Sup guys great place you got here,” Cass says with a cheerful voice. Ruthie walks over and looks at the bandages and shakes her head and starts unwrapping the bandages and points to Xander then to the cabinet that has the clean new bandages. “Sorry, Doc the wound started itching.”

“You're healing fast and all but I want you to keep this clean and wrapped,” Ruthie orders her as Xander hands her the new bandages. Ruthie starts wrapping Cass’s arm again.

“Push little thing ant she?” Cass says with a giggle.

“You have no idea.” Xander, Mekyle and Angelique say in unison.

Alec walks over to Cass and puts his hand out. “Hello, Cassandra, I am Alec Bane-Lightwood, Console of the Clave.” Cass blinked and shocked his hand with a look of duda I know who you are. “We understand you are one of the Gatekeepers. What gate do you look over and where is it?”

This made Cass go white and her eyes darted around the room mental mapping a way out of the room. Right as she was about to throw the blanket off and head for the exit. Xander lad a hand on her shoulder and smiles at her.

“Trust us Cass, we want to keep all the Gates safe.” He says and ameetly Cass softens and looks back at Alec.

“I guard over the gate of Gluttony.” Cass answers but was cut off by Simon before she could finish

“The Gate of what?” Simon asks

“The Gate of Gluttony you know like the sin,” Cass states coldly looking at Simon. “You do know what the 9 circles of hell are, don’t you?” Everyone turns to Simon and he just stands there looking confused.

“You mean like the Anime?” He asks.

“No you nerd the Book!” Jace snaps.

“It’s the same thing,” Simon mutters.

“The gate here in New York is Limbo. Seeing as New York was the place where other countries came to the U.S. Hersheypark of Pennsylvania sits the Gate of Gluttony.” Cass says, laying one of her hands on top of Xander’s.

“Why there?” Angelique asks

“Most sites of the gates have some ties to what gate is belt there. Gluttony is simple with a theme park.” Cass answers, trying to sit up on the side of the bad. Xander held his hand out to her and she smiled and blushed, taking his hand. “I will take you to the gate. If this Sinara wants to open my gate she has got one hell of a fight on her hands.”

“We can’t all go,” Alec says

“And why not?” Izzy asks.

“We need to keep A group of Shadowhunters here so that New York stays safe” Alec explains

“He is right, we can’t leave New York unprotected,” Clary adds.

As the group tried to decide who was going and who was staying. A ring from the Institute doorbell came. Jace, Alec, Clary, and Angelique break away to go answer the door. Standing at the door when Jace opened it was Bat the local werewolf clans secant in command. Alec gave him a very odd look. “Bat what are you doing here?”

“Is Maia here?” He barks out.

“Huh?” Jace says

“Are all you Shadowhunter stuped or death? Where is Maia” Bat snaps out his eyes glowing yellow.

“Stand down Lykin. Don’t make me put you down!” Jace yells out moving into Bat’s personal space.

“Like to see you try. No one to stop me this time blondy.” Bat growls low in his through.

Before Alec could move in between the two men Angelique was already there pushing them apart. In a very Com and even voice, she speaks to them “ok guys this is not the time and remember we are at peace here. Bat, Maia is not here, she has not been here. Jace, he is only worried about this alpha.”

Bat looks down at the small hand that was on his chest pushing him away from Jace and he starts to chuckle. “Your one brave little girl.”

“She is right though. Bat you have not heard from Maia?” Alec asks.

Bat steps away and ruffles Angelique’s hair. “No she was sent to meet with you and the other members of the Alliance and she never came back.”

“That was weeks ago,” Alec says in shock and a tinge of panic in his voice.

“I know after a few days I thought it was odd but it’s Maia and she does as she wants. After all, she is the Alpha. But after a week it’s not normal.” Bat explains.

“We need to look into this.” Angelique states.

“Ok, I want you to put together a team and look into this Angelique.” Alec orders.

“Me?!?!?” Angelique shouts.

“Yes you, I need to stay here and deal with clave business and the rest will be going with Cass,” Alec says.

“Xander should lead then,” Angelique says.

“There is no way he is not going to go with Cass,” Clay says.

“Oh, you got that too.” Jace chimes in clary smiles and nods.

“This is your mission Angelique as order by your Console.” Alec orders again. This time Angelique just nods. Bat looks at Alec and Angelique. “Bat return to the pack and Angelique will come to you with her team,” Alec adds.

“Ok see you soon Shadowhunter,” Bat says and bonds down the steers.

All the Shadowhunters and Magnus, who had portaled to the institute a few minutes ago now sit around a huge round table in the war room. Alec leads the meeting deciding who is going on what mission and agreeing with the Shadowhunters Angelique picked to take on hers.

Angelique chose Mekyle and Ruthie for her mission Simon and Izzy were picked by Alec to back them up. This leaves Jace, Clary, Xander, and Cass going to the gate.

“We have one more idam we need to deal with,” Alec announces.

“We do?” Simon asks puzzled.

“Yes the names of are Young Shadowhunters,”

“Oh yes, the last name ceremony.” Magnus snickers. Alec shouts him a living eye roll.

“Anyway Xander, Angelique and Mekyle have you chosen your Shadowhunter name?”

Xander stands up. “I have out of respect and honor for my Headmaster and her amazing Daughter. I like to become a Fairchild.” He looks over at Clary and she gives him a small nod.

Alec smiles seeing this. “So be it, welcome Xander Fairchild.” Xander smiles and sits back down. “Angelique, Mekyle, have you?”

“Yes I would like Waterheart.” Angelique says standing up. Mekyle jumps up next to her.

“This was not an easy choice for me but if you would allow. I like to be Mekyle WolfScar.”

Alec gives them a soft smile. “Welcome Angelique WaterHeart and Mekyle WolfScar.”

With the teams assigned they split up and head off to get what gear that they would need and even a little sleep if they could before heading off. This gave the couples some time to be alone leaving the Newbies and Cass to find something to pass their time with if they don’t want to sleep.

Angelique and Ruthie decided they would sleep in the same room for the night so they could talk about the mission and some boys they liked back at the academy. Mekyle was not going to sleep at all so he headed up to the Training Room to punch the bag a little and work on his dagger throws. This left Xander alone with Cass.

Xander leads Cass to the common room where the TV was playing Ghosthunters on the Discovery channel. “I know now that I am a Shadowhunter. I have been rewatching them and the Taps crow came really close a few times to finding a real ghost. I wonder if one of them is related to the Herondales?” Xander says.

“I am a bit shocked to see a TV at all in an Institute,” Cass replies.

“Ya most are still old-fashioned but Clary and Simon need their Anime, is what i got told,” Xander explained.

“Oh man, I love me some Death Note.” Cass giggled.

“You have the cutest laugh, Hold on did you say you like Death Note,” Xander says looking a little flushed. Cass just smiles and winks at him as Xander turns a bright red.
