It's live!!! My fic for the Detroit: become human reverse big bang 2024 - written for the lovely artist @clopinasart , it's my first ever RK1K fic! 😍 I hope y'all enjoy the first chapter

Connor needs a break from work, big time.

The problem is that he doesn't know how to relax. A stay at a silent meditation and yoga retreat seems like the way to go... Or maybe the animal rescue, run by a very handsome, and fascinating, cowboy...

Sunday

11:43 am

I have been in a roller coaster. The other day I was at the peak but yesterday I woke up in the pit. It was the feeling of misery again. Fear. Insecurity. Emotional Trauma. And I really, really just don’t want to be here anymore. In this place, in this neighborhood. I fought this feeling hard as I tried to fall asleep. I fought with what I knew I was worth. Repeating to myself over and over that I am above this suffering. I succeeded for the night. But I woke up as the same, demotivated girl that I have been while I was in the said state I’ve been trying to escape. The sun is bright outside. It’s a beautiful Sun-day. Yet I’ve been refusing to wake up since 7:25 am. I have abandoned my morning workout. Abandoned my Sunday morning freedom, to stroll this neighborhood. It was already 11 when I finally decided to have a beautiful day—on the outside. Because we all know that most days, I can make daily life look aesthetically pleasing.

I made my refrigerator stock of rice, some green beans for lunch, coffee and warmed up a pastry to start my day.

Which person should I be today? Which personality am I deploying?

A very tricky feature that’s built in me is my multiple personalities. The struggle is…they’re not friends. They have different interests and different methods to go around things. This feature isn’t bad because it allows me to understand people who are different than me, very deeply. My mind is open, and nonjudgmental…to others. But to myself? Very judgmental. One personality won’t let the other be. It’s an episode of Split every time and the personalities are fighting for their turn for the spotlight in this body.

I just want to finally come undone, have a mental breakdown and cry. I’m pretty sure it’s the Pisces in me. Having my Venus in Pisces, the love, romance and financial department of my life is a wreck. Exalted in theory but a wreck in execution. I just want to process a heartbreak sometimes but my Moon in Leo, and Sun in Capricorn are judging my Venus in Pisces for that need. Leo asks why? “Have you seen you? Why would you be sad over insignificant people? You are the loss.” Capricorn says, “It’s not even worth it. Not worth the time. Not worth the thought. If you pull up to the receipts, you can see that you’ve been at a disadvantage. So just cut the losses because really, the only thing that you’ve lost was money for spending time with people who didn’t see your value. You will be richer if you invest in yourself instead." By the way, I have my Mars in Cancer, and she will eventually want to wish a certain person a horrible outcome. She probably even caused this nostalgia in the first place! But for now, she’s retreated in her shell, sleeping sadly with my kitty cat babies, after wreaking havoc in my head.  My Sagittarius Rising just wants to get out of here honestly. Just let karma run its course. Just want to go to the gym, do sunset yoga by the river and be productive. And maybe that’s the only comfort my Venus in Pisces can seek solace from. Do Venusian things to escape. Maybe start writing again, start cooking, make videos or watch slow living vlogs to calm myself with the daydream that that’s me if I had it my way—my Piscean way.

Most of my personality is tough. And they usually take the wheel. And because of it, I couldn’t feel things as it happens. It’s very delayed because my pride won’t let me. In certain matters of the heart, my mind could never accept what has been done to me. My heart could get all beaten and blue, and my brain will still say no one broke it. It’s not heartbreaking, rather it’s just disappointing.

 What most of my friends say is... “You are in your head too much”. And that’s true. I predominantly operate in my head and not in my feelings. That personality doesn’t get to be in the spotlight too much. And when it does, it gets judged. I don’t hate my other personality traits however, because they’re not wrong. They are all for me. To back me up and to soothe me. Yet the irony of it all is that it’s always Me against Me. But even if sometimes they don’t sync, that’s okay because by the end of the day all I have is me and my multiple versions. At some point they will all have to agree.

Jasico prompt for @butt-puncher based off this tweet

---

Leo peered over Jason's head. "Who's XghostkingX?" His chin came to rest on Jason's shoulder. "Sounds likely a freaky dude."

Jason swiped away the notification and kept watching the dog training video Piper sent with the caption "You" and a pink heart emoji. "Just this guy who sends me recipes." Jason frowned as the video ended and typed a quick rebuttal back at Piper that just because the dog was a golden retriever did not mean it was him. "I don't know him."

Leo's breath went hot against his cheek. "Then why," Leo said, drawing out the "I" sound for as long as his breath lasted. He rolled over, locking his head backwards over Jason's shoulder, face to the curling and finally inhaled. Coughing briefly, he continued, "is he DMing you?" Leo flicked his cheek. "What, he is a potential booty call?"

Jason scowled. "I don't do that, Leo."

"You should," Leo huffed. "I got pegged on Tuesday by a hottie boom-booty and her boyfriend. All with the sweet send of a "You down to clown?" meme."

Rolling his eyes, Jason shifted ever so slightly and grinned when Leo slid off his shoulder and crashed to the ground. "You give all aroace people a bad name."

From the ground, Leo swatted at Jason's ankles. "Just because I don't get the attraction part doesn't mean I don't know what good feels like. And there are some angles only the thick fingers of a college football player can hit, alright?'"

Jason snorted and opened up Instagram. He switched to the messages section and clicked the top one. A link to a recipe popped up. Above it were a thousand other recipe links. No messages, no words, no comments.

Just other people's posts.

Jason didn't know who this Nico guy was. It was spring break in his sophomore year of high school. His step-mom dragged them all out to some meditative retreat that banned all use of electronics. It was supposed to be some kind of spiritual cleanse. All Jason remembered was doing yoga, eating really bland meals, and Thalia sneaking out of their room through the window in the middle of the night and coming back six hours later smelling like weed and wearing someone else's bra.

She had a lot more fun than he did.

But when he finally got his phone back, he had twenty-three messages from XghostkingX, all recipe posts from different accounts. He checked out the account, trying to figure out who "Nico" was. But the account was private. He checked out the recipes too. They weren't weird. Seemed like completely normal recipes. Bread, pasta, Mexican dishes, Indian dishes, pastries, keto, high protein, vegeterian. Pretty much everything except Italian.

Which Jason found interesting. He wanted to ask about it but...

He turned and flashed a sprawled out Leo the messages. "They're just recipes. He started sending them to me when I was on that no-phones thing with my family."

Leo snatched the phone from him and begin scrolling at top speed. "Wasn't that, like, five years ago?" Jason shrugged. Leo stared at him unamused. "Seriously, man? And you haven't said anything?" He shook the phone. "You don't even know this guy!"

Jason reached for his phone but Leo rolled away, spring up to his feet. "Leo, give me my phone."

"Just one second," Leo said, very clearly typing something.

"Do not talk to him, Leo!" Jason shouted, shooting out of his chair and towards his best friend.

"I'm just gonna hit him up!" Leo yelled as he scrambled away on his gangly twig legs. "See what's up!"

Jason grabbed a pillow off his bed and hurled it at Leo through the doorway. Leo squawked loud, without dignity, as it beamed him in the back of the head and knocked him down. Darting through the doorway, Jason threw himself over Leo. All the air fwooshed out of his lungs.

Grunts and grounds filled the air as they wrestled for the phone. Leo curled inwards of himself. Jason rolled him over onto his back. Leo kicked at him. Grabbing at his legs, Jason pinned him down and started tugging at his arms. He ripped the phone of Leo's hands and sat on his chest in retaliation.

Leo spread his hands behind his head and fluttered his eyelashes, before wheezing, "Why, why Mr. Grace, you're so forward."

Jason shoved his foot in Leo's face. Leo shouted and slapped it away with spluttering indignation. "Fuck off and suffocate, Valdez." He turned to his phone. His heart exploded in his chest. Panic induced upwards his throat. "Oh my fucking gods, Leo." He shoved both his feet into Leo's face again, kicking at his jaw.

Ignoring Leo's protesting yells, Jason scanned the string of messages in the chat. The first one started off okay. Yo, who is this? Then they slowly began to deteriorate into complete nonsense. Probably as Jason and Leo were fighting over the phone.

Crap, crap, crap, he thought, as he began typing out apologies.

Sorry for that, it was my friend, he was wondering why you keep DMing me even though we don't know each other. He sent the text and closed out of the app before planting both feet beside Leos face and flaring down at him.

Jason bonked him again then twitched as his phone buzzed. The notification read XghostkingX sent you a message. Leo squirmed under Jason's weight. "Did he respond? Is he telling you why he keeps sending you messages? Is he hot?"

Leo batted his eyelashes Sweetly. Jason bonked him on the head with his phone. "I am going to eat you one day, Leo."

"I don't care what you do to me, so long as I get to come first," Leo said.

Jason swatted at him as he opened up the text.

Haha, no problem. I was wondering when you were going to say something. I'm Nico. Sorry for all the recipes. I was sick with the flu and couldn't remember how to save them to my notes app. I meant to send them to my sister, but I messed up on her username. I'm dyslexic. Powered through it but it does get worse when I can't think straight. Actually using speech to text right now. Filling in the punctuations after the fact. Anyway, you never said anything so I just kept saving there here to refer back to. Kind of easier than opening my notes app all the time to be honest.

Another text popped up. A picture this time. Followed by a series of more pictures. All of food. Jason recognized some of them from the recipes he'd clicked through out of curiosity. The plating was different. A little less professional, but they looked just as good as they had in the videos.

Some of the photos had a cute boy in the background. He presented the plates with a shy look on his face. His dark shaggy hair was pulled back in a few photos.

Some of my successes, the next message read.

Quickly Jason texted back, Is that you?

Yeah, Nico's reply read. My sister took them to send to my grandma in Venice. I usually just photograph the food. I have other pictures on my page. You can follow if you want.

Jason didn't hesitate before replying, Okay.

He clicked Nico's username and hit the follow button before waiting patiently. A second later the page opened up for him. Nico had a lot of pictures of food, dogs, paintings. There were few pictures of him as Jason scrolled mindlessly through his accounts. The ones that did feature him were always flocked by two other girls - one white and tall, with a braid tucked over her shoulder and fierce eyes, the other short and black with a wide smile, typically tucked under one of their arms.

Jason clicked on a picture of what looked to lasagna roll-up but much fancier and sent it to the chat. That looks good. I don't remember seeing a post for it.

That's my grandma's recipe, Nico typed back. It's a chicken cannelloni. Trade secret though. Can't give it to you. There was a brief lull before another message popped up. But I could make it for you, if you're interested. Make up for spamming you these last five years. Laughing face emoji.

Jason paused. Then, Does it travel well? Who knows if the USPS will keep it fresh.

My dad lives in the Bay Area, Nico replied with a laughing face emoji. And I'm here for the next couple months. Another brief pause while Jason's mind caught up with the air in his lungs. If you didn't want people to know where you lived, you shouldn't post pictures of yourself at university. Congrats on your win by the way.

A deep heat crossed Jason's face. So Nico had checked out his page? What did he think of the personality Jason exhibited through carefully selected photographs and captions? Did he think he was cool?

Beneath him Leo was still struggling and wheezing. Jason ignored him as he typed. I'd be creeped out, but that cannoli thing looks too good, so yeah, why not?

Nico's reply was a cute smiley emoji. Here's my number, he wrote. Call me when you wanna come over. Takes a while to make the pasta from scratch but I'm sure I can keep you entertained. Another smiling emoji.

Jason swallowed around his rising emotions. Sounds good. I'll let you know when I'm free.

A thumbs up and another smiley face.

Finally, he slid off of Leo's chest and landed on the hardwood floors. Leo inhaled dramatically then coughed rapidly before flipping over to his stomach. He groaned as he pushed himself up to his knees. Jason exited the chat.

"So, you getting that dick or what?" Leo drawled. Jason shoved him back as he laughed deliriously.

"Shut up." He pushed up to a stand and dragged Leo off the floor. "He's gonna make me one of his recipes."

"Ahh, dinner date."

Jason cuffed Leo's shoulder before wrapping him in a headlock. Leo laughed boisterously and didn't fight back. Instead he licked a long line down Jason's arm. Jason rolled his eyes and pinched his ear before letting him go.

"It's not a date." He smoothed down his shirt and began looking through his calendar. "He's just trying to make up for spamming me these last five years."

"Uh huh," Leo said, with a twinkle in his eyes that Jason sometimes loved and sometimes hated.

"Yeah, uh huh," Jason muttered back.

Another notification popped up. Without a second thought, Jason clicked it. A picture of a small cake with elaborate icing work and chocolate drips. Nico was in the background, crouched low so all you could see was his face, flour in his hair, a little bit of icing smeared on his cheek. He was smiling wide, eyes glancing up at the person taking the picture. Underneath the photo were the words, For dessert?

Jason hearted the photo immediately and wrote, Sounds good. It looks delicious.

Leo leaned over his shoulder. "He does look pretty delicious."

Jason swatted him away, cheeks burning. "Fuck off, Valdez." Leo cackled behind him before jogging back into Jason's bedroom. Jason turned back to the photo. Nico did look really nice. Messy in a cute way.

Maybe if Jason played his cards right, he could score more than a free dinner and a cute dessert.

Pmd9: Wolf Moon '24: Update;

greetings all i've been taking ttime /offline/ to reflect upon my inner self its been rly helpful i will continue a little longer.. I got into this state ovr the past few months where i felt like i had to fill every empty moment w someone elses thoughts, or beautiful stimulating imagery, any time i was bored or uncomfortable i just wanted to scrooooollllll . . . i started to feel like i was losing mysedf @_@ & losing myself ON purpose, at that

lately i began to long for this feeling i felt as a teen, b4 smartphone was everywhere, when i used to jst have to like. stare at the wall for long periods or look out the window and retreat into contemplation or fantasies to occupy myself. like in the ambient moments of waiting. or if i didntwant to think that day, i wld invent a task for myself , draw, go for a walk, ask my friend to hang out, find stuff to take photos of.. the internet was at it's most fun cus it was reserved for when u had time to be at the computer so it felt like more of a treat instead of being~everything~

it kinda hit me like oh i can pretty easily feel that way again ! just got to sternly banish the phone. And let me tell u it feels reallll niiice....i been playinggg all day long tbh i been having a blast. granted my reality has improved a lot recently so its easier to disconnect, but yea i duno its like dangg things r looking up & i want to b present for this part of my life. :*

its freaky how even holding the phone is so addicting?? does anyone else have that? i have rly restless hands so i noticed them searching for that thingy to hold. like i dont even think usning the internet is That harmful its just better left to computer-moments. i dont plan on ever stopping posting cus i looove posting i just cant b so *online* rn i cant b as engaged w "feeds" im burnt outtt

even after just a few days break i feel my thougts flowing better, a lot more true to me, i remember why i luv working on my stuff :+)

Soo lets see, some stuff i been up tooo ummm: i DEEP CLEANED my room / rearranged for better feng shui, added new pages to my website, work on music every day, yoga every day, started figure drawing class(!!), going strong w herbal tea regiment, joirnalling.. playing acnl evry night ^^ talking to my mom and grandma a lot which has been rly sweet and new for me. oh & pochita's eyes healing up perfect after her surgery a few weeks ago~~

thats pree much all the update i have for now.. tldr need to get serious about making sure my thoughts r my own & keeping grounded in reality. hope everyone having a pleasant full moon's experience tonight ^^ Since its Wolf's Moon maybe try howling at it..

Yours Truly,

-Pink_Moon_Doll_9_Shih_Tzu_9

P.S. today in the wolf moon yoga video i did she talked about how the most successful wolf packs r the packs that r most diverse..a pack where everyone has their own unique skills so they can come together to help each other in any situation. U dont got to b like everyone else, just lean into being the best version on YoU ^^ thought it was a sweet sentiment to contemplate over this moon. <3

Oshi no Ko Chapter 155 Thoughts

The chapter title is Happy End! Well, not for Hikaru. He's so broken we don't even see his face

The framing of this as the end of Ruby's revenge is interesting but um... what revenge? We haven't seen Ruby thinking about revenge since she lost her black hoshigan. This would hit a lot harder if Ruby had done anything lately to show she cared about revenge

It's a real shame because Ruby's lines in Ch 115 when she was doing the impromptu audition with Frill and Akane gave me chills

I still dream about the day my mother died, even now... will everyone I love end up dying?... I want to go to where everyone is. I want to die too. That's powerful stuff! Of course she would want revenge. But then she realizes Gorou is alive and everything is fine again (??)

As for Ruby's forgiveness, unfortunately that happened off the page (sadly that's become a running theme lately with how rushed things feel to me). Her conversation with Hikaru in Ch 147 is the closest we got to seeing her make that decision

And what exactly did she do in her acting to deliver that forgiveness? I'm tired of being told about it, I want to see it

I'm not sure why Ruby was chasing after Hikaru in this chapter with double black hoshigan if she was all set to forgive him but  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway, none of that matters because Miyako is back, hugs are back, Aqua is crying in his mother's arms and... OK BUT WHERE WAS MIYAKO UNTIL NOW? WHY DID YOU FORGET HER, AKASAKA? Never mind, sorry, this was an adorable moment

Someone finally remembered Yura Katayose. I really hope it's shown how Aqua realized she had anything to do with this

Nino jumpscare! I am obsessed with Nino's obsession with Ai. The toxic yuri is off the charts and I'm eating it up

Look at this poster. Nino could have simply cut her and Ai out of it but no, she took the time to cross out and scribble over the other B Komachi girls, presumably for daring to breathe the same air as Ai

If you have not, you need to read 45510 (translated by aihoshiino) which is not only the basis for the lyrics in Idol but a deep dive into Nino's psyche. It was obvious by this point, but we now canonically know that Nino is the narrator in 45510 because of the panel in this chapter where she hits the delete button

Wait, hold up, Nino is using an mp3 player? My god, she really is stuck in time isn't she

She has trash bags all over her house because this woman is a shut in who does nothing but watch videos of Ai, listen to old B Komachi songs, and stare at her poster. Honestly? Same. I see you, Nino, and we can be delusional together

I believe in another life that Nino healed herself with a lot of therapy and a yoga retreat, stopped putting Ai on a pedestal, embraced her sexuality, and confessed to Ai. They're now living with the twins in a small house on the outskirts of Tokyo. Nino writes a mommy blog called "My dream life with precocious twins: me, myself, and Ai"

Get it? See what I did there? Okay...

[sw124]

This is my Fursona [or should I Bugsona]

Likes: Playing games with friends, video games, board games, Cards against humanity, fairy lights, cooking, fluffy bathrobes, fruit, yoga/meditating/exercising with friends, long car rides with friends, car games, cloudy days, all kinds of dairy products, gameplay videos (across all genre, many of them without commentary), waterparks, coffee, happy pranks (no one gets hurt or embarrassed by)

Dislikes: Hot/ humid/sticky/ weather, bad/rude restaurant service, food covered in nothing but grease, trash talkers, overly bright lights.

Absolute loves: Tea/Fruit tea, making honey/honey snacks, baked goods, naps, cuddling with friends, anything plush, campfires, marshmallows/fancy/roasted and s’mores, restaurant hopping, sushi, hotpot, any kind of food you share with friends, audiobooks, bookstores, ASMR content, white noises, camping and above all, Autumn and Winter. (Mamu:…don’t forget a certain wolf…)

Dislikes bordering hate: People who intentionally ruin meals with disgusting comments, bigots, overall rude/disrespectful people, unsanitary/unsafe work conditions, sour milk, very loud noises, unnecessary jump-scares in real life, sever/dangerous weather, rude wake up calls (like the kind people use to prank other), mean/cruel pranks, being sick.

Pronouns: She/Her They/Them

Sexuality: Asexual (ageosexual) Polyromantic.

Galactic honey/honey treats: Depending on the season and constellation currently in the sky at the time the color and taste will change drastically, but will always taste/look as beautiful as the season and constellation its made in.

General Personality: Bordering on motherly/big sister, she’s often checking on everyone’s health, doesn’t matter if it’s mental or physical she’s always checking on them. An introvert by nature but does socialize when it involves friends, however even if it’s with friends; she can get overwhelmed easily and tends to retreat to places away from the crowds. Other than that she’s an overly kind, affectionate person who always wants to make you feel warm and loved. Often seen hopping around restaurants or bookstores or in her own home making treats/goodies for friends and families. Despite being part moth she’s not fond of (overly) bright lights, it becomes too much, to the point it hurts her. She’s drawn more to soft or gentle glows like from candles, fairy lights, LED reading lamps or Moon/Starlight.

She loves making ASMR content, she stays away from the… ‘Explicit’ kind of ASMR and sticks to more sensory sounds, recording nature sounds like waterfalls, rain, bird calls, walking around in snow, campfires and then some. But often she’ll record herself reading a story or simply talking about constellations and making her famous honey snacks. She rarely uses her wings for flight, often using them as a blanket to wrap herself [or friends] in. Always has a sleepy expression despite being wide awake, speaks very softly that sometimes comes off as a whisper, makes a buzzing sound when stressed, overwhelmed or angry/mad.

Relationships: She’s private when it comes to relationships but some have seen her roaming around town and popular date spots with a female wolf, black fur with a patch of white along the belly. Often seen holding hands or cuddling close to one another, though not yet confirmed if in a committed relationship, they seem to be very, very, VERY close.

"Shrotavyasya" is a piece I composed several years ago- thrilled that it's finally officially released online! The title translates from Sanskrit as "toward all that is to be heard". It was inspired by a couple of weeks I spent in Bali a few summers ago doing a yoga and meditation retreat, as well as by a huge Balinese gong I heard while I was there. In the piece, two percussionists and the pianist are in front on the stage, while the violin and cello are to the back left, behind the audience, and the flute and clarinet back right, also behind. The idea was to have a triangle of sound coming from three directions, representing the three main Hindu gods (which are represented in the composition, divided into three equal segments). Here is the premiere with ENSEMBLE / PARALLAX and Ionee Waterhouse's beautiful video:

Peace Talk Episode 261: questioning the belief that death is coming without pretending it isn't

Who are we without our stories? 

We gathered and looked together at the concept "death is coming".

November 8-10, 2024 Retreat in Seattle at Grace's office. See workwithgrace.com for information

December 6-13, 2024 The Work and Yoga at Mount Madonna in California. workwithgrace.com for information

Grace Bell, facilitator of The Work, assists people to identify and question their stressful ways of looking at life. 

She offers Year of Inquiry, a vibrant membership community of inquirers Sept-June each year. Learn more about Year of Inquiry at https://workwithgrace.com/year-of-inquiry

Grace also has a special love for those suffering from eating issues including disordered eating (disordered thinking) of all kinds--having suffered from this behavior and thought/feeling process herself and finding an unshakable peace within around eating, food, health and behaviors with eating. 

Grace works with all kinds of compulsions, habits and addictions as they are all the same thing: a pull to some behavior, substance or activity in order to help us with our stressful feelings and thoughts.

As Byron Katie offers us (founder of The Work); when we believe what we think, it creates unnecessary suffering. When we question what we think, we feel lighter and less serious about what is. We even begin to laugh. We notice who we really are is peaceful already, a human being living life as best we can--learning, growing, loving. 

In the public sessions on this youtube channel, we have all-group inquiry sessions called First Friday Inquiry, we have interviews with practitioners of The Work, we have Eating Peace videos (on the eating peace playlist) and we have individual sessions in The Work by courageous people willing to be recorded for Peace Talk podcast and this channel. Thanks to everyone involved in what is shared here on this channel, as it is great service to others in the world who find their way here and who are curious about life without "believing" thought all the time.  

In all-group sessions and solo sessions, we begin with a judgment...and move into the four questions and turnarounds. Willingness to be real and honest with your thinking is the first powerful step in The Work. 

No one ever has to share when attending Friday Inquiry, and thank you when you do.  

For the Work With Grace programs and more information, and to get on the Grace Notes mailing list for updates and sharing of all kinds around The Work, please visit www.workwithgrace.com

Peace Talk with Grace

Jesus can always reject his Father 

But he cannot escape his Mother’s blood 

He’ll scream and try to wash it off his fingers 

But he’ll never escape what he’s made up of

Religion, but not of the abstractionist, logo-centric Abrahamic kind. Such religions wrestle with the infamous gaze, which is never a mere “male gaze”, always a bidirectional “woman plays for the male gaze”. Strip clubs and porn sites are always temples to dark goddesses, not mere playgrounds for totalitarian men. The allure of prostitutes and whores for the powerful is not that they are weak and vulnerable, but that they create an inverted polarity which is intensely erotically charged and potent, and which ordinary women struggle to provide without serious practice and devotion. Abrahamism desperately tries to prohibit the pagan iconology of sex with the Law and Word of the Father, pushing the dance underground, where it festers in Art and Witchcraft.

Atheism is merely the latest attempt of Abrahamic religious arc to deny the abyssal power of the erotic. What Atheists miss is that religions are not mere superstition and bad explanation, they are already themselves desperate attempts to wrestle with the erotic forces of nature, which act on human bodies in ways that can only be described as supernatural. An entire arc of Protestant Idealist philosophy has been devoted to analysing the increasingly atheistic message of Christianity itself, missing the forest for the trees by ignoring the sexual drama the entire structure sits on top of. Jesus the Atheist rejects his Father but cannot escape his Mother’s blood, though this won’t prevent him desperately trying to remove any traces by whatever legitimate or occult aims possible. 

The post-Protestant West has tried to practice a de-eroticized, professionalized bureaucratic and feminist individualism, while at the same time constructing the absurd pagan hierarchies of glamour, fame and lust of Celebrity, Pop music, Hollywood and Video Pornography. That these two phenomena are deeply linked flies over most heads. Furthermore, with the disastrous Puritan turn in Celebrity culture itself, Pagan ceremony has been rediscovered in perverted subcultures organised and coordinated through the internet by talented priests.

These networks operate under an increasingly Deleuzian, immanentist logic, practicing Art as Sex as Magic as Festival as Orgie as Internet Forum as Live Retreat. The infamous “Burner Culture” of Burning Man is one such example, the “Liminal Web” scene another, the tumblr reality tunnel another curious avenue. The thing to watch is the Gesamtkunstwerk effect, the “total work of Art”, inspired by leading Artists and Thinkers and yet not reducible to them, where a culture dreams itself into existence with minimal commercial infrastructure other than the backbone of the internet itself. 

“Dark Sexuality” is common in such spaces, with BDSM and tantra practices commonly in vogue. In this sense, they are moving away from the distance of cinema and pop music, where mostly ordinary people worship an eroticised priest/ess and his/her lover(s) from a distance, instead becoming fluid and participatory, with voyeurism and exhibitionism oscillating back and forth. The Great Dark Mother who precedes over pagan religion, whereas as Kali, Lilith or Cybele is common here, and threatens to consume unscrupulous worshipers, is common here.

Phallic-Apollonian training, sometimes called “sutra”, is increasingly recognised as essential to survive, providing solid vessels for the raw intensities to flow downwards and outwards into the shared lifeworld of the celebrants. Talent with art, music, painting, poetry, physical training, rope, whips, drugs, knives, yogas, meditations and other weapons spiritual and physical are necessary to avoid full scale nervous collapse and psychosis. And even then, the transmission often takes its toll upon those with direct access to the higher planes. These are the crosses all over the body that the witch-shaman bears. 

This becomes a ground for a new type of politics, which cannot be reduced to the rationalist fantasies of liberalism and socialism, nor to the Romantic reactions of fascism. Post WW2, The forces of Liberalism and Leftism, having defeated Fascism, needed to make sure their enemy never returned. Thus anything resembling “blood and soil” had to be denied, so the Enlightenment Humanist project, which promised salvation through reason, abstraction and material alone, could continue.

Unfortunately, all these attempts to scream and wash the bloody dirt off our fingers are doomed to failure. The problem with fascism, and why it turns into a totalitarian militaristic nightmare, is because it attempts to turn blood into a Male sphere subject to the laws and codes of masculinity. But blood is Feminine, the material of Womb and Forbidden Psychogeography, and the shadows of family, clan and country are presided over by matriarchs and maternal spirits. It is shadowy, poetic, intuitive, and body based, rather than expressed vertically in a Grand Fascist Myth. Masculine culture, by contrast, always attempts to limit this sphere by replacing it with formal allegiances. These two exist in a tension that cannot be resolved. Sophocles’ great Tragedy Antigone displays this brutal tension in full force, Antigone staking her claim to bury her traitorous brother on the grounds of kinship, while Creon sentences her to death for breaking the masculine civic law.

Marriage Gift and Decoration Inspiration for Every Relationship

Beyond the Usual: Finding the Perfect Gift for Every Couple

Love comes in many forms, and so do the relationships it nurtures. From long-time partners to newly married couples, each couple has a unique story, a blend of personalities and passions that make their bond special. Finding the perfect marriage gift that reflects their individual journey requires a thoughtful touch and a dose of creativity. Here's a guide to unique gift ideas that cater to the diverse spectrum of relationships.

Couples who have weathered the storms and shared the joys of a lifetime together deserve gifts that honor their endurance and celebrate the strength of their bond.

Gifts that Promote Wellness: A curated set of yoga mats and meditation tools, a subscription to a healthy meal delivery service, or a membership to a wellness center. These encourage a healthy lifestyle and foster shared growth.

A Contribution to a Shared Dream: Help them achieve a dream they have long desired – a down payment on a vacation home, a donation to a cause they are passionate about, or a contribution to a financial goal they are striving towards.

Personalized Items that Mark their Union: A custom-made photo album with their wedding photographs, a personalized calendar highlighting significant dates in their relationship, or a piece of jewelry engraved with their names or wedding date.

Financial Gifts: A contribution to a shared savings goal for their future home, a vacation fund for their dream trip, or a contribution towards a significant purchase like a new car.

Gifting for Blended Families: Celebrating Love in its Diverse Forms

Blended families are a testament to love's ability to redefine and expand. Gifts for these couples should celebrate the unique dynamics and the joy of building a new family together.

Family Activities: Tickets to a theme park, a museum visit, a concert, or a fun activity that the whole blended family can enjoy together. These moments create shared memories and foster a sense of unity.

Gifts That Enhance Shared Space: A set of comfortable family games, a movie night package with popcorn and snacks, or a beautiful art piece that everyone can appreciate.

Gifts That Promote Harmony: A book on blending families, a family calendar to coordinate schedules, or a family photo shoot to capture the new dynamics. These gifts provide practical tools and symbolic reminders of their unified journey.

Personalized Items for Everyone: Matching mugs or t-shirts with a special inscription, a family tree chart that includes all members, or personalized photo frames with pictures of their family.

A Contribution to a Shared Goal: Help the family achieve a common aspiration like a vacation home, a down payment on a vehicle, or a donation to a cause that resonates with their values.

Decorative Inspirations: Creating Ambiance for Every Relationship

Decorations set the mood and enhance the beauty of each celebration, reflecting the unique personalities and love shared by the couple. Here are some creative and inspiring decoration ideas.

Celebrating Long-Term Love: Timeless Elegance and Personal Touches

Memories as Décor: Incorporate framed photos, vintage mementos, and handcrafted keepsakes that tell their story. These personal touches add a touch of nostalgia and warmth to the decor.

Warm and Intimate Ambiance: Dimmed lighting, soft music, candles, and a color palette of warm hues create an inviting atmosphere. Focus on comfortable seating and furniture for a relaxed and welcoming feel.

Personalized Elements: Use their wedding colors or incorporate symbols representing significant events in their relationship into floral arrangements or centerpieces.

Natural Touches: Incorporate natural elements like wood, greenery, and flowers to create a cozy and natural vibe. These elements are soothing and reflective, creating a sense of grounding.

Newly Married Couples: A Fusion of Style & Fresh Beginnings

Vibrant & Modern: Use a combination of vibrant colors, metallic accents, and geometric patterns to reflect a modern aesthetic and add a touch of playful energy.

Floral Touches: Intricate floral arrangements in a mix of colors and styles, incorporating the bride’s bouquet flowers or blooms that symbolize love and new beginnings.

Personal Details: Incorporate elements that represent their interests or hobbies – a display of their favorite books, a collection of photographs from travel adventures, or a wall gallery that showcases their shared passions.

Blended Families: A Celebration of Unity and Shared Love

A Tapestry of Color and Style: Incorporate a mixture of colors that reflect the different personalities within the blended family. Choose a combination of vibrant and neutral shades to create a harmonious atmosphere.

Personalized Touches for Every Member: Include framed photographs of each family member, create a display of personalized mugs or other gifts that represent their unique traits and interests.

Family Tree: A beautifully framed family tree that includes all family members. This symbol of their shared lineage and roots fosters a sense of belonging and unity.

Beyond Gifts and Decorations: Celebrating Love in its Uniqueness

Remember, the most valuable gift you can give is the celebration of love in all its forms. Acknowledge the unique dynamics of each relationship, emphasize the strength of their bond, and show your appreciation for their journey together.

By combining heartfelt gestures, unique gifts, and inspiring decorations, you can create celebrations that reflect the true essence of every loving relationship.
