#And trying to restore the Community Center on top of all that
Note
Teach me qsmp lore please. Preferably chronological order; where does it all begin & all that jazz
okay SO
buncha guys are on a train to Quesadilla Island. there is a Huge Wall in the middle of the island. a duck greets them and says "whatever you do don't press the big red button". they press the big red button. the wall Crumbles. yay! duck comes back and says "wtf now you Can Never Leave The Island". also theres a ton of like ruins/old crusty buildings on the island and their first task was to restore electricity so like. there probably Used To Be People Here.
then! new Building appears! duck says "you idiots woke up a dragon and it flew away. now you gotta take care of her eggs". new building turns out to be an adoption center!! there are two parents per egg and each parent has to be from a different language (at the time it was only spanish and english). i forget who the parents were (this was long before i was In The Fandom) but essentially government assigned gay marriage. anyway they have to take care of the eggs and keep them happy and stuff so they don't Die
also there's a guy named cucurucho who's like one of the top federation guys. hes a bitch. then theres another cucurucho (osito bimbo) whos not a bitch. he appears out of nowhere and speaks in like pre generated text to speech voice lines and also writes and gives people books to communicate
also! an enemy is made called The Code or the Binary Entity! it's. well. exactly what it sounds like. a floating mess of ones and zeroes in black and green. and it is Violent and attacks the eggs
spoiler. some of the eggs die. its very sad. there is conflict. i am going to skip to where i joined the fandom because i don't know too much about the Middle Parts
so the eggs go missing. horrible awful tragedy. everyone is upset (and begins to go Insane). forever is so angry and sad he goes and pretty much attacks cucurucho. he then gets drugged on Happy Pills and becomes an absolute weirdo. pac goes and gets kidnapped/drugged on purpose and finds a Cure. yay! the get the leftover Happy Pills and put them in a very secure safe. it is not very secure. bbh immediately steals the pills just to prove that he could. the safe is later reinforced further. also when forever was detoxing he screamed that cucurucho told him that the eggs weren't kidnapped they ran away because of an Even Worse Danger. which some of the islanders believe and some dont
bbh does not buy it and kidnaps a federation worker who he named ron and we later found out is WB011. the workers dont get names and there are tiers D-A, d is the lowest A is the highest. also bbh has fully lost all the color on his skin and is torturing himself with soul vultures and is now covered in his own corrupted blood and torn clothes. hes also canonically completely colorblind
while this is happening tubbo is flirting with fred, another federation worker (WA02). so he's a fed worker defender 100%.
tubbo breaks into fred's office and finds two books: one saying bbh is suspicious and possibly dangerous and advising workers to avoid him. then next book says worker WB011 has not clocked in or out of work for several days and is missing. he draws the conclusion that bbh has kidnapped WB011.
unfortunately bbh had some sort of psychotic episode and. um. ate ron.
also tubbo, slimescicle and. fuck i forget the third person. got coordinates from a chest surrounded by black concrete. each of them had one of the 3 coordinates (x, y, and z) and it took them like 45 minutes to connect the dots. they are led to the entrance of a Maze. when they get through the maze they find a circular room with a wheel numbered 1-8 in roman numerals, surrounded by the eggs signature belongings. obviously they all Freak Out and try to find a way to get in. tubbo enderpearls through the barriers and spins the wheel. lava pours down from everywhere. rip
a little later everyone goes in the maze and finds a room thats like some sort of control room with a big red button. when they press it theres a dialogue that said "i think i found something about the eggs disappearance. lets continue this conversation on the main channel"
at some point they find the circular room again and it has the wheel again but this time the only egg belonging is chayenne's rubber ducky. strange.
more black concrete keeps appearing, then a huge alien structure appears. THEN. they find a message on black concrete FROM THE EGGS!!! wherever they are they can't get back and can only send one message at a time. two more alien structures end up appearing.
tubbo digs a giant hole with a world eater that bbh and aypierre hate so he names it the controversial hole.
bbh is slowly testing everyone on the island to see who he can trust and who he can't, and is implying to everyone that he will burn the world down and kill everyone to get the eggs back. we support his wrongs
philza gets kidnapped and put in a bird house for like a week, thinks it's a bad dream and can't really remember what happened.
bagi arrives with nothing but a frying pan and determination. she somehow has the code for the main channel, but they don't know what to input the code in to make it work.
etoiles now has a love/hate relationship with the codes and enjoys fighting them for fun. he kills one and the only thing it drops are its sword, shield, and a book saying "protect". he takes that to mean protect everyone on the island.
at this point everyone is incredibly suspicious of everyone else btw.
also yesterday bagi told fred that tubbo was in love with him and this morning tubbo got a letter from fred rejecting him and signed it "WA02". my ship has crashed and burned i'm so sad. he has also heavily implied he will Ruin Bagi for this
i definitely missed things but this is a lot of the gist of it i think !

secondary research, topic defining.
type walks or similar in london: 27/3/24
I had concidered doing a specfic day of seeing typogrpahy for exmaple since it would respind to a very specific demogrpahic. However, If doing it from a tourist perspective, i dont know places well enough and i would have to use other resources since i dont have many means of finding them myself since i dont know london well enough and although this project is helping me get to know london a bit better which was the aim, i dont have the best understanding of where things are.
places to visit in London that are interesting for typography It says about some of the museums, cemeteries, streets, and gods junkyard which all are good for typogrpahy supposedly
The London Transport Museum has signage and buses that show how lettering has changed throughout history
Highgate Cemetery has gravestones with interesting lettering from different eras
The streets of Shoreditch are constantly changing with new street art
Fleet Street was a center for printing for centuries, and there is still typographic evidence of that history
Gods Own Junkyard is a collection of old signs that have been saved and restored . I was really inrterested in this for my project but its harder for tourists to get to as it is out of the zones that are cheapest to travel in which makes it less applicable to my proposde target audiance.
overground:
The overground is a different topic that could help determine my subject, its a literal line which provides multiple assests for narrative, but it is about the journey but also the renaming of the overgriuond ststaions is interesting as they have done it based on significant events etc https://madeby.tfl.gov.uk/2024/02/15/overground_line_names/?intcmp=75213
there are even lioness line, there is also:
most arty places to go in lonodn:
"London Neighbourhoods: The Artsy" -Strawberry Tours provides a comprehensive overview of several artsy neighborhoooods in London. It highlights areas like Shoreditch, Camden, and Notting Hill, known for their vibrant arts scenes, street art, galleries, and creative communities. The page offers insights into each neighborhoods unique characteristics, such as the eclectic markets in Camden, the trendy bars in Shoreditch, and the coluorful streets of Notting Hill. Additionally, it suggests various activities and attractions visitors can explore in each area, making it a useful guide for anyone interested in experiencing London's artistic side.
I thought i could do a very niche magazine about artistsic places to visit, however it would be very random and not easy to get around if youre on a short trip or just hvaing days out, so this doesnt fit my targey, i want it to be easy to encourage people to actually do it and go and see things rather than default to tourist areas. I want them to be easy to get to and get transport since that was one of the biggest concerns from my sruvey.
quietist places to go in london:
Kyoto Garden in Holland Park, Postman's Park near St. Paul's Cathedral, and Little Venice along the Regent's Canal. Each entry describes the peaceful atmosphere and unique features of the location, providing visitors with alternatives to the city's usual hustle and bustle. The webpage serves as a guide for those seeking relaxation and tranquility amid London's vibrant energy. I do still like the barbican concept however, i dont want to do soemthing that is overdone and over worked since it defeats the point of what im trying to achievve.

Feel Safer With A Home Security System And This Advice
When you want to install a home security system, you have to know all of your options. There have been many innovations in home security, and it's important that you know what is available to you. Keep reading to find out more about this subject so that you can protect your family.
If you happen to lose your keys change your locks right away. There is no telling where your keys are and if someone has them, they may end up paying your house an uninvited visit. Changing your locks is a much better option and can assure that your house is safe from losing your keys.
If you want your home to be safe and secure, it is important to have a security analysis preformed by a reputable company. This will assess the weak points of your home security and will help you understand what areas need more protection and what areas have sufficient protection to keep you safe.
Cameras are a great way to protect your home and family. If you make the cameras noticeable, just having them on your property is enough to deter many criminals. High quality video surveillance systems have gone down in price in recent years and are affordable for almost any budget now.
Install a peep hole so that you can see who is at your door before you open it. 娛樂城 will knock at a door so that they can push past you when you open it. You should never open a door without knowing the person that is on the other side of it.
Consider hiding a spare key on your dog. If you have dogs who have free access to the outdoors, try taping a key securely to the inside of one of their collars. This will make your key accessible should you lock yourself out, while keeping your home safe. If you have multiple dogs, choose the dog who is least friendly with strangers.
If you are planning to have the cable guy or repair man come to your house, refrain from putting notes on the door. This shows burglars that you are not currently home, which will make them more prone to robbing your house. Use phone communication to indicate to your servicemen the details of your whereabouts.
Protect your valuables. Some common ways to do this are by storing them inside a safe-deposit box or storing them in a heavy home safe that's nearly impossible to move. Make sure the safe is fireproof. You can use a chiseled-out space in the very top of your door for smaller valuables. You can even create a hiding place in a acoustical ceiling by removing a tile and restoring it with something like magnetic fasteners. Make sure to avoid leaving fingerprints with this method.
Check the street address at the end of your block to make sure that it is noticeable in the event of an emergency. If you see that it looks illegible, call your town center to see if you can get a new sign for your street. This is crucial as firefighters or police cars will need to get to your house immediately in an emergency.
Put motion-sensor lights into your home. These kinds of lights will pop right on when they detect motion near your home. You will receive advance warning of any potential issues, and a would-be intruder will probably be scared off. But keep in mind that the bulbs to the security light should be routinely changed to ensure that the deterrent system functions properly.
Ask a neighbor to watch your home and get your mail if you are going on a trip for a week or more. Burglars sometimes will check to see that the mail or newspapers are piling up on a driveway. If your neighbor gets these in advance, it looks as if you are home.
To increase your home's security, buy some outdoor lights that are motion activated. At night, the lights will keep things bright round the house, but they are also efficient and cost-effective ways to help your security. Whenever you properly position these lights, they will make it almost impossible for burglars to sneak in.
Hopefully, this article has discussed many tips and tricks that can help you get started with home security. While it may seem like the options are overwhelming, it's important that you use the knowledge you've gained. This is a big investment, and you want to make sure you've made the best choice.

WHAT IS CPR & HOW IT’S PERFOMED?
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique that’s useful in many emergencies in which someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped. For example, when someone has a heart attack or nearly drowns. The American Heart Association recommends starting CPR with hard and fast chest compressions. This hands-only CPR recommendation applies to both untrained bystanders and first responders. If you’re afraid to do CPR or unsure how to perform CPR correctly, know that it’s always better to try than to do nothing at all. The difference between doing something and doing nothing could be someone’s life. In this blog, Dr. Kartik Bhosale will guide on how to perform CPR correctly, its importance, and its application in emergencies.
What is CPR?
CPR, which stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, is a crucial life-saving procedure. It’s performed on people experiencing cardiac arrest or those who have stopped breathing.
When is CPR used?
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, commonly referred to as CPR, is a vital technique for saving lives during emergencies. It is employed when someone’s heart ceases to beat or their breathing becomes ineffective. CPR is an immediate response designed to restore blood circulation and ensure oxygen supply to critical organs when the heart and lungs are not functioning properly.
Sudden Collapse: Imagine someone suddenly collapsing to the ground, losing their usual composure and stability.
Failure to Respond: In moments of crisis, when a person doesn’t react or respond to attempts at communication or stimulation, it can be deeply concerning.
Cessation of Breathing: When an individual’s ability to breathe stops, and they can’t draw in air on their own, it becomes a critical situation.
Absence of Detectable Pulse: In cases where there’s no discernible heartbeat or pulse, signaling a severe cardiac emergency, the urgency cannot be overstated.
How to do CPR?
In an emergency where someone’s heart has stopped beating or they’re not breathing effectively, knowing CPR can be a life-saver.
Here’s a simple guide to performing CPR:
Open the Airway: Gently tilt the victim’s head back and lift their chin to open the airway. Observe, listen, and feel for breathing. This should take no more than 10 seconds. If there’s no breathing or just gasping, move on to CPR.
Start Chest Compressions: Place the heel of one hand at the center of the victim’s chest. Lay your other hand on top, interlocking your fingers. Position yourself with your shoulders directly above your hands, keeping your arms straight. Use your upper body weight to apply firm, rhythmic chest compressions. Aim for a pace of about 100-120 compressions per minute. Push the chest down at least 2 inches (about 5 centimeters) deep with each compression, allowing the chest to fully recoil between pushes.
Rescue Breaths (If Trained): After 30 chest compressions, proceed with two rescue breaths. Tilt the victim’s head back and lift their chin once more to maintain the open airway. Pinch the victim’s nose closed. Create an airtight seal by placing your mouth over theirs. Give a breath lasting approximately 1 second, ensuring you see their chest rise. Repeat this for the second breath.
Continue CPR: If you’re trained in CPR, continue with cycles of 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths. If you’re not trained, it’s okay—stick to chest compressions only.
Remember, CPR is a valuable skill, and proper training can make a significant difference in emergencies. Your quick and effective response can greatly improve the chances of saving a life when it matters most. CPR offers immediate assistance, sustains vital oxygenation, boosts survival rates, serves as a bridge to professional care, minimizes brain damage, and proves effective in a wide range of emergencies, ultimately saving lives.
For more information & treatment, consult with Dr. Kartik Bhosale.

BARON SAMDI’S VEVE
Baron Samdi, or Baron Saturday, is probably one of the most well-known and favored loas in Haiti and throughout the world. This beloved spirit is the gatekeeper of the dead and leader of the Gede family of Loa. Baron is often confused with Papa Legba because of his gatekeep role, but these are not the same spirits. Instead, he is heavily associated with death, the ancestors, the afterlife, and rebirth. He owns access to the underworld – no one can transition to this realm without his permission.
Because of his position as gatekeeper to the ancestral realm, he is also revered for his powerful healing abilities. He is the guardian of ancestral knowledge that provides us with the ability to heal, restore, and prosper. Baron Samdi also stands at the crossroads of sex and death. He governs humanity’s procreative abilities, which is why he is often petitioned for issues related to fertility.
BARON SAMDI IMAGERY
Baron Samdi is typically depicted as a middle-aged dark-skinned male in Haiti. However, in pop culture, he is more often portrayed as a skeletal figure dressed in all black. Adorned in formal attire, Baron wears a black top hat and sunglasses with one lens missing. This represents his ability to see in the world of the living and the dead. Also, some believe that if you consistently experience one lens popping out of your sunglasses, Baron is trying to connect with you.
Some images envisage Baron with a snake wrapped around his neck, which symbolizes the birth, death, and rebirth cycle. Baron is notorious for smoking a cigar in almost all of his manifestations. Also, in some images, he holds a glass of rum. His feast days are November 2 (Day of the Dead) and April 24. He is associated with the numbers 3, 7, 21.
Baron Samdi // Crewneck Sweatshirt // Unisex – African Spirit Etsy Shop
BARON SAMDI VEVE SYMBOLISM
As with other loa, the Baron Samdi veve is used in prayers and incantations during Vodou rituals and ceremonies. His veve prominently displays the image of a three-dimensional cross sitting atop a coffin. Additionally, eight small one-dimensional crosses surround the main cross on Baron’s iconology. The cross represents the intersectionality of life and death where Baron serves as the gatekeeper. The main cross in his veve corresponds to the vibration of beginnings, while the eight smaller crosses indicate the acquisition of inner wisdom which leads to prosperity and abundance. In this way, Baron also has the power to bestow wealth upon his devotees as he is the patron loa of gambling.
DEATH AND REBIRTH
There are likewise two coffin-like structures in the top right and left corners next to the horizontal edges of the cross on Baron’s veve. Synergistically, the three coffins represent the spirit of our ancestors and their ancient wisdom of the past, present, and future. The number three synchronizes with the energy of communication or community, creativity, optimism, and joy. When we connect with our ancestors our lives become filled with deep wisdom.
MASONIC SYMBOLOGY
Baron Samdi is considered the Grand Master of the Celestial Masonic Lodge of Vodou Spirits in which he is a thirty-second degree initiated Mason. Therefore, four images of the alembic and a point in the center of each are presented on his veve. This is a ubiquitous symbol in the Freemasonry order commonly referred to as the Square and Compasses. It embodies the elements of purification and unity of thought. In other words, one world – one order. The number four, in this instance, symbolizes perfect balance and spiritual connectedness.
SPIRITUAL PROTECTION
Finally, Baron Samdi’s veve reflects nine strategically placed stars around the main cross and all three coffins. Symbolically representing spiritual procreation, these stars also indicate the birth, death, and rebirth cycle that all life forms undergo. As such, the number nine corresponds to the principles of death and transition with respect to the number of stars included on his veve.

People Need Ash Wednesday
Paul Rourke, S.J.
Vice President for Mission and Ministry
People need Ash Wednesday. (People who never come to church on a Sunday, which is a holy day of obligation, come today, which isn’t.) Why is that? More specifically than their need for the day is people’s need for its symbol – the smudge, sometimes shaped like a cross, of ash on their heads. People who can’t make it to a service or Mass will come by and say, “Father, can I get my ash?”
Part of it can be explained as a desire for belonging. When everyone else has the ash on their forehead we don’t want to be left out. But does it go deeper? Why does this symbol speak to us so powerfully? Why do we all want our ash, a symbol of mourning and penance? Ash is the residue of a fire burned out: in our case the palms from Palm Sunday burned, palms that evoked Jesus’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem preceding his death on the cross when the crowd and the authorities turned against him. In one symbol we have triumph and betrayal, fire and death. Perhaps the ash reminds us of happy times around a camp fire, or perhaps some of us even know that ash in former times was used to make soap and can be used as a purifying agent. Maybe all of these elements tell us why we need this day.
This day begins our pilgrimage toward Easter, the final and total triumph of Christ; but we know that before the triumph comes betrayal, betrayal by those closest to him. We know that the fiery preacher and Messiah whom the disciples placed their hopes in dies. His fire is spent on the cross. Perhaps the sign of ash on our heads, the tiny smudgy cross, can remind us of all that: of our birth through baptism into the great mystery of our redemption, into the fire of divine love, into Christ’s death and resurrection, of hope triumphing in and through our frail humanity.
These days of Lent we now begin invite us to live this mystery with intensity and purpose. Ash speaks to us with stark simplicity. Our Lent should be stark and simple: focused on the essentials of our life in Christ. To help us the Church gives us three powerful tools, proven through the centuries to help us grow in holiness: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
We need to pray as though our lives depend on it, because they do. Prayer is not a luxury to indulge in our spare time: it’s the food and oxygen of our souls. When we don’t pray our hearts turns to ash, and the world grows dark and bitter. Our campus has a spirituality center, a Jesuit Community, and a dedicated Campus Ministry staff to help you pray. Take advantage of them. You have a chapel and a Walking Examen. Please use them. Don’t wait. Start now. Don’t overthink it: just do it. Pray. Don’t wait for the perfect time. Just pray. It’s not the cherry on top of the dessert of Christian life: it’s a whole meal! Pray.
Fasting. I’ve just talked about dessert and now fasting. We fast to remind ourselves of our dependence on God for everything. We fast to be in greater solidarity with our brothers and sisters who do not have enough to eat. We fast to grow in interior freedom from the attachments that distract us from our life in Christ. When people ask me about what they should give up for Lent, I often advise screen time. I think I am echoing mental health experts in saying that there is no greater threat to our peace and mental health than the amount of time we spend on our devices. How many of us let our lives get sucked away by the time we spend on our phones? We all know it’s an addiction, and as such, we may need help in restoring a proper balance in the use of our phones. Ask yourself: how free am I to limit the use of my phone? How free am I to live my life without the constant need to check social media? If you really are free and have it under control, then Glory, Hallelujah! Give up chocolate for Lent. But if you’re not free, then make this the Lent you try to get your screen time and social media usage under control. Or the Lent when you admit your need for help, because you realize you can’t control yourself in how you use it.
Finally, almsgiving. Looking around at all the people who have ashes on their foreheads reminds us of the community we share. Almsgiving reminds us of the community we are called to be: a community in solidarity with those most in need, a community committed to justice in society. Catholic Social Teaching tells us that the goods of this earth have a universal destination. That means they’re meant for the good of everyone. We cannot be a faithful Christian community and ignore people without food or shelter. If prayer is not the cherry on the dessert but the whole meal of Christian life, then almsgiving is the whole meal we share. It’s the realization that a meal becomes Christian when it is shared. We see that in its perfect form in the Eucharist. But as in the Eucharist sacrifice is required. Somehow, we have to feel the bite of our almsgiving, not for masochistic reasons. We sacrifice our comfort because others are starving. We sacrifice our comfort because others don’t have the necessities of life. What are we going to do this Lent to bring others to the table of our feast? It’s not an idle question. Read Matthew 25, if you need reminding of the stakes.
Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving: our back-to-basics program for Lent. May our embrace of them bring us a good Lent and even better Easter!

Can Loktak Lake's Wondrous Floating Islands Bounce Back?
Are these geometric doodles of chartreuse against a much deeper green? Or an array of empty frames hung pell-mell on a dark wall? Zoom in on a few of the tiny white rectangles scattered across the image for a sense of scale: You’ll see they’re small homes. You’re looking at an aerial view of some of the famous floating islands of northeast India’s Loktak Lake. The image is also a snapshot of a moment in the story of a wondrous and unique environment that’s undergoing enormous change. Not far from the border with Myanmar, Loktak is one of the largest lakes in South Asia. It covers about 100 square miles—but that was not always the case. Before the construction of a large dam raised the lake’s water levels permanently, Loktak’s dimensions used to change dramatically with the seasons: During the dry months, it shrunk to about half its current size. While that may sound like an inconvenience for the tens of thousands of people who rely on the lake for water, fish, and other resources, the fluctuating levels played a crucial role in preserving an unusual ecosystem. Those eye-catching floating islands, or phumdis, are just the tops of much thicker mats of soil and vegetation. Phumdis can form naturally, but many have been shaped by humans. Fishers and other locals sometimes float lengths of ropes in the water to create a kind of frame where organic material can collect over time, eventually creating a new living island. Thousands of phumdis float on the lake year-round now, which is a problem. Before the dam, when lake levels fell in the dry season, roots on the undersides of the phumdis would come in contact with the lake bed and soak up needed nutrients. Now, without that seasonal sustenance, many of the phumdis have started to break apart. This is just one of the challenges that the dam and other infrastructure projects have brought to the area. In 2017, the Pulitzer Center reported that many native fish species disappeared from the lake after the dam became operational in the 1980s. In response, according to international wetlands monitor Ramsar, the government stocked the lake with non-native species, including voracious silver carp, which further upset the ecosystem. Agricultural runoff, pesticide use, and other human activities have only aggravated the problem. Harvests of locally grown varieties of rice and other food resources, such as the highly nutritious heikak, or water chestnut, have dwindled or disappeared. In the last decade, there’s been a grassroots effort to have the dam decommissioned and the lake’s natural cycle restored, but it would be an unprecedented event—and an unlikely one. Hydroelectricity generated at the dam is the main source of power for the entire state of Manipur, which has a population of more than three million and counting. While the fate of the floating islands and the roughly 100,000 people who depend on the lake is uncertain, Loktak remains, for now, a place of otherworldly wonder. Photographer Aakash Selvan traveled more than 1,000 miles from his home in southern India to photograph the phumdis as part of a larger project to showcase the country’s diverse natural beauty. “My wish is to document 100 different aerial perspectives of India,” says Selvan, whose image, Floating Islands, was recognized as "Highly Commended" in a recent Drone Photo Awards competition. “I spend hours on Google Earth, trying to find subjects," he says, "I struck gold when I found these.” Selvan adds that, at lake level, the phumdis appeared “endless.” And walking or standing on them was also memorable. "It's almost like a trampoline; all of these phumdis are bouncy,” he says. With local communities and scientists alike calling for greater protections for the lake and its unique ecosystem, the phumdis may yet bounce back.

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Unlike the affluent seaside communities of Sanibel Island and Fort Myers Beach, where the media has descended to chronicle every detail of the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, the people who live in the squat homes in Dunbar have faced the crisis mostly on their own.
And for many in the historically African-American neighborhood, there's a sense of anger and frustration. "They're saying the islands got destroyed," observes 24-year-old Lexxus Cherry. "Well, we're destroyed, too. We're really messed up here."
There's no electricity. Water comes out of the faucet, but it's little more than a thin brownish stream, unsafe to drink. A faint smell of sewage wafts up from the street.
When people here call the power and water authorities, they get only vague assurances. No promises, and no timeframes.
Authorities accused of slow response in Black communities
Cherry's uncle, Ta'Wan Grant, detects a pattern in their plight.
"I understand that the city is trying its best to restore everybody's power," he says. "But this is a common thing that I'm seeing in cities around America. Whenever a disaster happens, for some reason the city is slow to respond to people in ethnic communities, in low-income communities."
"We are the ones who need the most help," Grant says.
A large piece of twisted aluminum siding, apparently blown in from across the street, lies in a crumpled heap on Grant's front yard. His air-conditioning unit was ripped away, leaving a gaping hole in the side of his house.
Cherry's mother, Chanel, who lives a few blocks away in low-income housing, underwent a kidney transplant in May. She says she's had "no water, no ice, no nothing," since Tuesday. "I haven't seen one police [officer] come to check on the community where we live," she adds.
In the storm-affected area in an around the city on Sunday, an estimated 580,000 people were still without electricity and boil water notices had been issued for 120 areas in 22 counties.
"You can't hide from God"
Earline McCoy has lived next door since 1969. She's seen a lot of hurricanes come through here in the last five decades. But this one tops them all, she admits.
McCoy and her friend, Jesse Howard, stayed at home as Ian approached. "You can't hide from God," she says.

Carlos OsorioJesse Howard shows the damaged to Earline McCoy's home in the Dunbar neighborhood of Fort Myers, Fla., on October 2, 2022, after Hurricane Ian passed through the area.
McCoy, who is 85, says she's been getting bottled water from a nearby relief center. She's optimistic that "if we get lights on in the next day or two, we'll save our food."
Outside nearby Dunbar High School, which is being used as a temporary shelter, Sheddrick Jacobs and his wife Sheneka wait for a bus to take them to the centralized shelter, with power and water, at the Hertz Arena in Estero.
"I'm getting what I need, and I think other people are getting what they need too," he says. "From what I see on Facebook and Instagram and then us coming to here, I think it's been great."
One woman's tale of two storms
About a mile west, in the Dean Park Historic District, Lindsay Comstock's rental house nearly backs up to the Caloosahatchee River, which Ian caused to overflow its banks, sending a torrent of water through the one-story home.
As the storm closed in, she evacuated to nearby Naples, "but they got hit just as bad, and I lost my truck there."
As she's pulling soaked rugs and clothing from the house, her boyfriend telephones. "Everything is gone," she tells him. "Every single thing we own is gone."

NPRLindsay Comstock removes ruined furniture from her home in the Dean Park Historic District of Fort Myers, Fla., after Hurricane Ian passed through the area. Comstock had evacuated with her family and had come back to her home to clean up, October 2, 2022.
Since Ian, she's already filed with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA. "They really did help me out" after Sandy, she says. "I'm hoping the same with this. It takes a little while."
Looking around the destruction that was her life, she seems resigned.
"This is just stuff, I can get it back," she says. "My family is safe. My dog is safe. It could be worse."

The Gift
pairing: Zuko x Princess!reader
notes: this was requested by an anon!
summary: Zuko and Princess celebrate the opening of her new water bending school
~ part of the fire lilies series ~
You rise before the sun to prepare for the busy day ahead of you. You’d only been crowned Chief two months ago but already you found yourself busy with countless tasks and duties assigned to you by your people. However, you gracefully took each challenge head on, and despite being home for such a short time you’d already accomplished so much.
With the help of your friends you’d managed to dethrone Koa and begin a new era of peace and rebuilding in the South; there was much to do and no time to waste when it came to helping your people, and with assistance from Pakku and members from your sister Tribe you were able to begin the period of growth in no time. Aid had been sent out to the smaller tribes who were being looked after and rebuilt by the men who wished to rectify their wrongs after turning against their Princess in support of the former advisor. Leading them was Hakoda, Sokka and Katara’s father as well as your new advisor. Already the outer tribes were beginning to grow, and with that growth came the discovery of the next generation of water benders.
Before his departure back to the Earth Kingdom Sokka had helped you construct the plans for your new water bending school, and with two months having come and gone the structure was almost complete. Another day or so and you’d be ready to begin your teaching— both younger children of your tribe and a few migrants from the South would be your students, and with Master Pakku’s help you had no doubt your school would be a success.
Many sleepless nights and countless hours of work came with being the Chief of a tribe that was attempting to rebuild itself, yet you still made sure to send letters to Zuko whenever you could. You swore to him before his leave back to the Fire Kingdom that you’d reply to his letters and inform him of any more trouble you faced, and so you found yourself writing back and forth with your boyfriend at least three times a week thanks to your shared messenger hawk. You would have preferred to meet in the secret tunnel, but both of you were much too busy now to escape to your hideaway, so you settled for communication through scrolls.
The sun is just beginning to rise as you adorn the Chieftain necklace and allow the Water Tribe emblem to fall proudly against your chest. Your father would have been proud, and you wish he could see all the things you’ve accomplished for your people.
You slip on your parka and give a wistful glance at the portrait of Zuko that sits on your dresser (a portrait that is accompanied by the doll he’d given to you long ago) before making your way towards your office to get started on the plans for the day. The early mornings were always reserved for scripts and scrolls, it made things more organized and helped the plans ease along nicely, and it also allowed you some quiet time to yourself before you were pulled every which way throughout your day.
You’re not sure how long you sat with your nose buried in paperwork, but by the time your mother steps into your office the morning sun is high in the sky and your people have begun their tasks for the day. She smiles fondly and approaches with a cup of tea in her hands, the cup being a part of the china set Iroh had sent Zuko with months before.
“Well you’re up awfully early,” she notes while carefully setting your tea before you.
“I have a lot to catch up on before the opening of the new school. Pakku brought me a list of possible students and I’m going through each and every one to make sure their needs will be met if they choose to participate in lessons.”
“About that...”
“What?” You prod, immediately looking away from your paperwork and towards your mom. She has a giddy smile on her face and a glint in her eye that she fails to hide from you.
“Would you like to go for a walk? I think we should go for a walk,” she replies, quickly changing the subject and hoisting you out of your seat before you can even comprehend what’s happening.
“Mom!” You try to interject, but she simply brushes off your comments and concerns.
“It really is so nice out today,” she hums gleefully. Guards gift you friendly smiles or respectful bows as you pass, and outside the palace you are greeted with excited commotion.
“What the flameo is going??” You say exasperated. Your gaze settles upon your school in the distance and a confused frown etches itself across your features at the sight of a crowd around the building. You weren’t exactly expecting any students just yet, and the school wasn’t meant to open for another day or two. You also weren’t sure why exactly there was a blanketed structure in the courtyard of the school; you hadn’t authorized any additional features, so what was it?
“Took you long enough,” Pakku greets you both with a smile. Little children stand around him and look upon you with pure glee and excitement. You recognize a few of them from your list, but you hadn’t even reached out to their families yet to ask for permission for their participation in your water bending lessons.
“Can someone please tell me what’s going on here?” You plead desperately. Pakku and your mother grin.
“Why, we’re celebrating the opening of your new school, of course,” he says as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world.
“The opening? But nothing’s ready!”
“Actually, everything is ready,” your mother corrects with a smile. “You’ve been so busy running around trying to get everything in order, so Pakku and I took it upon ourselves to finish up the school for you. All you have to do is say the word and your water bending school will officially be open!”
“Well, we did have some help from the Fire Lord...”
“Zuko?” You retort with furrowed brows. “How did Zuko help?”
“You’ll see,” your mother replies giddily. “Are you ready to open your school?”
It takes you a moment to process the whirlwind of information that’s been given to you in a matter of minutes, but you can’t deny the relief you feel at knowing that the work has been taken care of for you. The first promise you’d made as Chief was to restore water bending in your tribe, and to know you were mere moments away from completing the task was a weight lifted off of your shoulders. All the little children look upon you eagerly, and it’s with a confident smile that you look to your people that have gathered around the school and proudly hold your head up high.
“As Chief of the Southern Water Tribe, it is my great honor and pride to announce the official opening of our school for water benders,” you announce. Your mother beams with pride at the sight of your first big accomplishment as Chief as she gives an agreeing nod to Pakku.
“And to celebrate this great achievement, we have a gift for Chief y/n,” he adds. Your brows furrow in confusion.
“A gift?” You repeat, watching as he pulls a scroll from his coat and begins to read off of the paper.
“I, Fire Lord Zuko, would like to show my excitement and support for the rebuilding of the Southern Water Tribe by offering this gift for Chief y/n. I know it’s impossible to capture her real life beauty, grace, and compassion, but I believe this gift does a pretty good job of displaying her greatness for all to see.”
The blanket is removed from the structure, and all including you gasp in awe at the sight before you; a statue in your likeness stands in the center of the courtyard. Your face holds a warm and benevolent smile, your head held high with a fire lily neatly tucked into your hair, and your hands are held out before you right on top of left as a circle of water swirls in between them. You look regal, elegant, like a perfect Princess and water bender.
“I... I can’t believe it,” you murmur in awe. Your mother smiles.
“Zuko sent me a letter a few weeks back to tell me he planned on commissioning a statue for you— a gift for your accomplishments. I told him it was a wonderful idea and agreed to have it sent here the moment it was finished to celebrate the opening of your school.”
“It’s beautiful,” you say with a teary eyed smile.
“You know, that Zuko is quite the catch. Does he know you’re of marrying age?” Your mother asks with a sly smile.
“Mom!” You exclaim embarrassed. She laughs.
“What? It doesn’t hurt to ask.”
“It’s a little too early for that,” you reply with a sheepish laugh. “Besides, I’ve still got a lot of work to do.”
“You’re right about that,” Pakku says, pulling you aside. “Are you ready to meet your new students, Chief y/n?”
“Actually,” you reply with a coy smile, casting a glance towards your statue, “it’s Sifu y/n when class is in session.”
“Sifu y/n it is,” he agrees with a smile before guiding you into the school to begin training your new students.

hello! if you are taking requests, can you please do the oxygen loss prompt with megatron and whirl?
I did Whirl in part two, so I have Megatron here with a ridiculously long one and I hope that's okay! I added Thunderclash as well so I can keep my pattern of two because... I like patterns. I might be getting super into this prompt...
Part One: Here!
Part Two: Here!
Part Three: You're Here!
Part Four: Here!
Part Five: Here!
Part Six: Here!
Part Seven: Here!
Part Eight: Here!
Part Nine: Here!
Part Ten: Here!
Part Eleven: Here!
Part Twelve: Here!
Megatron
·You're in the ship's recently finished classroom organizing lesson plans on your own, having been working with Megatron to try and set up more structured class schedules on the growing list of topics he's begun to cover. You're thrilled he's found a kind of calling on the ship, especially one that seems to be allowing bots to see the side of him you know best. He's made it quite clear in his own way that your assistance in this endeavor means the world to him.
·He's on the bridge, scouting out potential locations for refueling on the next leg of the journey with the rest of the commanding officers. For once there's mostly cohesion in their efforts, and his insistence on choosing planets hospitable to humans is met with agreement, if not surprise. They're on schedule to finish early for a quiet afternoon off when everything turns to a level of chaos even the experienced crewmembers have to call extreme. The rumble that shakes the entire ship is one Megatron and experienced space travelers know well; they've been ambushed.
·You're nearly knocked off the desk you're standing on by the unexpected tremors. While you're trying to figure out what could possibly have caused the disturbance, a message is appearing up on the bridge, where alerts of failing systems and corrupted codes almost make it impossible to hear an alien captain decree an intent to storm the ship. Megatron attempts diplomacy before lives are lost, but the enemy makes it clear; this ship and its contents are more valuable than anything they could offer. While the captain notes their species has heard of the famed Lost Light and its crew, their hack of the security systems proved embarrassingly simple, and they look forward to the easy payoff from selling the scraps of the Cybertronians onboard!
·With communications down and systems struggling through an ongoing sabotage, Megatron still prepares to coordinate a defense, but is stopped before he can begin by a final taunt from their enemy. Their hack of the security cameras showed his fondness for his new pet, a homo sapien of all things, and thus his current concern should be for the atmospheric regulation instead of battle plans. But considering how many dead organics he's left in his wake, surely one more shouldn't perturb him too deeply, yes?
·The line goes dead just as the ship's alarm attempts to sound, signaling an impending attack before it too crashes with everything else. His fellow officers are moving to get defenses up however they can, preparing to get the resident tech experts on the job of restoring key systems while trying to plan a counterattack with no way to reach anyone. He's near to frozen as he tries to message you to no avail, the cruel mockery of the enemy cutting deep in ways words rarely do for him, if only because the implication terrifies him like nothing ever has; he's all but helpless to save you.
·Only experience and an undying determination allow him to break through the fog. Without asking for guidance or permission, he states his one intent; to rescue you however he can. If there are any objections, he does not hear them, and soon his pedes are tearing down the hallway to where he last saw you and prays he'll find you; the classroom. Oblivious to his rush, the only thing you're aware of is the fact that something is amiss, but you don't have a clue as to what. Between the tremor, the brief blare of the alarm and your inability to get your communicator running, you only know there's danger inbound.
·Not having much information to work with, you surmise that the classroom is probably not the safest place to hunker down, and recall that the medical and scientific wings aren't far. As the doctors on the ship have added human medicine to their repertoire, and are hardly defenseless, trying to get to them seems your greatest hope for securing yourself. Not wanting to panic, you push your supplies into a somewhat neat pile and climb down the small ladder that's been added to the desk for your sake. Somehow you don't find yourself at the top of your worries at all. Your thoughts center almost entirely on Megatron, who will undoubtedly be forced into whatever conflict might erupt, and even an unexpected staleness in the air around you hardly registers amidst your anxiety.
·Megatron is still too logical of a bot not to stop every crewmember he sees to give them a brief list of orders. He knows that, without a united defense and victory, there won't be any way you can be saved at all. So he takes the hindrance, though bots hardly take long to move when he issues a command. But his growing fear gnaws at him with a simple truth; without communication, he can't even be sure of your location, let alone your condition. Perhaps he's going the wrong way. Perhaps you're already beyond help. Perhaps you've already been discovered by the enemy. All he can do in the face of blinding terror is keep moving, keep coordinating, and keep hoping beyond reason that he'll be fortunate for once.
·You can't remember the classroom ever taking so long to cross, but that's hardly important, especially with your communicator still failing to function. Reaching Megatron would give you incredible comfort right now, if only to hear he's alright, yet that's obviously not going to happen. Honestly, it sounds silly to really think about it, the human worrying for the Cybertronian... But your anxiety isn't comforted merely to remember he's a gigantic combat veteran, not knowing anything about his current status is all it needs to wander to scary places...
·Closing in on your position, the mech in question echoes your worry, but his knowledge of the current danger puts his feelings closer to panic. All he knows is that he's coordinated a not insignificant number of bots for a better defense on his way through the ship. With better resistance on their side, he knows they can win, because they must. The alternative won't come to pass while his spark still flickers within him. That promise comes to an early test when he overhears enemies moving on the path ahead, and he takes the charge without hesitation, his terror converting quite easily to rage for extra assistance.
·By the time you're at the door you know something is wrong with you. Each step comes with a wobble you can't explain, and soon the dizziness you thought was worry has grown to almost debilitating levels. Why is the room spinning? Why does your body feel so heavy? It doesn't worry you as much as it probably should, but you know it needs to be fixed, especially with the ship potentially in jeopardy. Faint activity from the hallway outside spurs you to finally trigger the door to open, which thankfully appears to be one of the few systems still working. Heavy footsteps not too far away register in your ears just as you're forced to lean against a wall for support.
·The aliens that come into view before you quite unexpectedly are large, tough, and well armed. Most races would have found them an insurmountable challenge, and even an experienced Cybertronian combatant couldn't expect an easy victory against a single fighter, leaving you quite hopeless as you stare upwards in confusion. Megatron is not the norm, and his drive to win is fuelled by far more than just survival, so he feels little more than irritation when he finally arrives to the hallway you're pinned within. More than a dozen mark his path to you, their forms clustered around the helpless human in sick curiosity, and as a result they're heedless to his appearance.
·Hulking forms most definitely not of Cybertronian make tower over your body as it struggles to keep upright, the ceiling spinning overhead as you try to connect thoughts and move your legs to flee. A language you don't understand precedes a slow swipe in your direction, one that you stumble away from more than dodge, resulting in you roughly collapsing to the floor. Something like cruel laughter greets your painful tumble. You should be angry, being mocked like a bug skittering from its inevitable squishing, but God you're so exhausted. It's not even in you to be afraid when the barrel of an alien gun is pointed at your head and the scent of ozone fills your nose while the barrel fills with light.
·A second tremor shakes the ship, but this one proves to be far more deadly than the last. Your would be killers are obliterated by a blur of gunmetal gray that pummels them into the floor, and before you can blink the carnage begins and seems to escalate to unimaginable levels of ferocity. Only your familiarity with Megatron allows you to discern him amidst the flurry of quickly diminishing combatants, but he's nothing like the mech you know in this instant, going for sheer brute force over strategy as he tears aliens apart with his bare servos. In the bloody chaos you can't tell if he's taking damage or not despite the sheer numbers he was initially facing.
·The end of it all is somehow more startling than the beggining. In one final attack he ends the last soldier, quieting the cacophony of battle to leave only the steady drip of alien blood down the wall and his own haggard ventilations. There's a dash of bright energon amongst the mess, glowing in rivulets down his side, and somehow that's what gets your cloudy brain moving again. Pushing exhausted legs against the floor, you try to rise as you cry out in concern, reaching for him before you collapse right back against the solid ground.
·Heedless to his own injuries, Megatron is over you in a single instant, no longer blinded by the fury he'd experienced at the sight of you in peril. All he'd known was that your attackers had needed to die, no hesitation, and tearing them apart had come easily from there. Now things are once again far from simple. The blood on his hands doesn't stop him from picking you up as gingerly as he can, though your impossibly tiny body appears more delicate than ever in his massive palms. Though it makes him sick to realize, he does indeed know a struggling organic when he sees one, making the captain's words burn in his audials once more.
·Guilt is forced down to a minimum so he can focus on what matters; you. He needs to get you somewhere safe but with access to oxygen, and the only place that can happen is the medical bay or the laboratory, and he knows both are quite close. He couldn't care less about his own gashed side, so even if the medics and scientists are elsewhere he should likely be able to rig something up before energon loss impacts him. Holding you close, in a way that will permit him to shield you with his body, he starts moving while he speaks to you. It's obvious even to him his words aren't motivating, but at least they seem to get your attention.
·Looking up at him, feeling like you're tiny beyond belief thanks to his incredible size, you wonder how much of this could be real. Megatron had just hurled himself into battle for you, enduring agonizing wounds in the process, and beaten back what should have been impossible odds... If he wasn't so close you could touch him, you'd certainly think he was just a figment of your imagination emerging from the spinning hallways around you. His deep baritone rumbles reassurances to you as your eyes slowly drift shut, your perception fading around the edges until he's all you can see, and you can feel sleep beckoning like never before.
·He truly has seen enough organics dying to recognize that you're fading in his arms, and seeing the connection between such atrocities and you is slowly starting to tear into him with guilt that refuses to be ignored. How many lives just like yours has he snuffed out? How recently was it that he could have ended your life amongst the billions of others, unaware of what a gift you are to the universe? More specifically, because of this, what right does he have to so much as look at you? The thoughts are a dark and unmanageable tangle by the time he arrives at his destination, where an already overwhelmed medical crew is tending to the injured from an apparently victorious battle. He's near to shock when he hands you over to a frantically rushing Ratchet and simply explains you need oxygen, his hand gingerly cupping his injury before he firmly insists on being the last to be repaired. If he's spoken to afterwards, he doesn't remember any of what is said.
·The medical bay is dim when you awaken, and you see that you've been placed in your own private room when you look about, oxygen mask holding secure to your face as you do so. A massive shape against the wall would have startled you if you didn't immediately recognize Megatron. He smiles almost sadly when you awaken, and while you initially attribute his uncharacteristic weariness to the welded injury on his side, he quickly makes it clear that isn't the case. Whispering a simple wish for your recovery, he excuses himself and makes to leave, and you know that something is amiss m
·When you merely call for him to stop, he breaks, confessing that his relief to see you alive is equal only to his certainty that he's not worthy of you and can no longer pretend otherwise. It takes all of your strength to sit up and demand he stay; you refuse to let the bot who just saved you walk out, especially when you've made it abundantly clear his past is something you've accepted, and your firm reminder is cut short only by dizziness forcing you to lay back. The sight stirs him to return to your side, concern in his optics, and you lay a hand on the tip of his digit in a breathless and wordless reminder; he's more than his past to you, and you made that decision knowing the struggles ahead. He smiles as his digit gently strokes your forehead, recalling that he too had made a decision that day; to trust you meant yours.
Thunderclash
·The two of you are in the hangar practicing sparring, which for your benefit mostly consists of him holding up a training dummy against his palm while you whack at it, and as is often the case you've become sidetracked by conversation over actual work. He's laying on his front to keep the two of you closer to eye level, leaning his chin against his spare hand for comfort, talking about all the little things that come to mind as opposed to the grand topics he's used to being asked about. Frankly, this freedom a big part of what he likes about these moments with you. He gets to just be a bot with interests like any other.
·Your casual chat is interrupted by a communication from the command team on the bridge, who summon him for assistance tracing where a series of small anomalies across the ship might be coming from. Systems are glitching in ways that can't be explained, the defensive radar can't seem to decide if there's something in the apparently empty space around them, and in an ironic twist the message goes dead just as communication problems are mentioned. It's quickly apparent something needs to be done.
·Apologizing for having to cut things short, the massive bot offers to give you a ride to the heart of the ship, which he'll have to pass on his way to the bridge. Always eager to spend more time together, you happily oblige, taking the place of the training dummy in his palm as he lifts you to rest beside his spark. While his shoulder is arguably a more dignified location, you take more than a little comfort feeling the hum of his energy at your back, and thus have chosen this as your travel spot. Between his wound and the many setbacks it's taken to get him back in shape, it's just nice to feel his spark going strong.
·Not long after setting off, he gets the sense there's more to these troubles than technical error, and that something less than desirable may be the culprit. It's not something he can explain, but being more attuned to the subtler things in his environment just gives him a feeling. When he voices this to you, along with the thought you should probably be left somewhere safe, you ask what he believes might be coming. Not because you don't believe him, but you know he only drops his smile when he is preparing for something bad, and you haven't seen proof of any concrete threat.
·With almost comedic timing, the ship lurches at that very moment, nearly knocking the big bot off balance. Only his firm but careful hold saves you from a twenty foot fall. The rumble fades off with something like a great dragging sensation through the ship, which you'd compare to a Manhattan sized car grinding to a halt. Now cupping you in both hands, Thunderclash asks earnestly if you're alright, to which you reassuringly reply that a little turbulence isn't enough to do any damage.
·Smiling at the fortitude of your tiny body, he begins walking straight away, shifting to strategy as his red optics narrow in contemplation. He explains that the particular nature of that shake confirmed his suspicions something is planning an attack. Rather, they're initiating an attack. The sensation of a ship being locked to another and anchored is a particular one, and combined with their systems crashing it's obvious an enemy has come prepared to strike for a well planned ambush.
·You see that he's worrying, but you say nothing of it, taking hold of his thumb to communicate support. Being with him in private has made it clear his existence as a perpetual source of strength for others exhausts him, so you've since committed to acting as his well of certainty in difficult times. Not letting your fear bleed in to your words, you instead ask what the two of you should do, confirming your own communicator is uselessly jammed as you do so.
·Moving through the ship at considerable speed with his long legs, he decides that you'll still need to be secured rather quickly, as enemy combatants are probably already storming the ship or preparing to do so. You'd debate him if you weren't well aware of the logic in his plan. No matter what the enemy is, you won't stand much of a chance in a full on brawl, as anything confident enough to attack a Cybertronian starship is likely to have the firepower to back itself up. Still, it's impossible not to be dissapointed by your inability to offer aid, though it's probably for the best as you're rather exhausted from sparring anyway.
·It happens in a blur, but that's partly because of the shocking reaction time of the bot carrying you, something few would expect due to his size. Thunderclash registers the threat as soon as he turns the corner, a feat aided by the very much not Cybertronian appearance of the figures he sees, and then made far easier by the multiple clicks of weapons preparing to fire. Your presence in his hands became his central point of focus in that instant. Turning on the spot, he allowed the first hail of bullets to strike his armored back, keeping you well out of the line of fire before ducking behind an opposite corner for cover. The sting of the gunfire matters little when he sees you safe in his hands, and less when he instructs you to stay low after setting you down and charging in to fight.
·In the heat of it all, you're embarrassed to be caught so frazzled, as this is hardly your first exposure to alien combat. But there's little time to admonish yourself when chaos unfolds just around the corner, and your tiny size permits a small peek... Thunderclash is the gentlest giant in the world to you, but in just a few blinks the hulking aliens are on the losing front, and while his fighting style is far from gratuitous it is effective. You're still trembling from the rush of the initial shock when the last enemy of the group is on the floor, but even with your shaky vision you can see your bot is unharmed. For a moment that little burst of relief supersedes everything else.
·In usual fashion though, he expresses worry for you when he returns to pick you up from where he left you, drawing an affectionate chuckle from you at how impossibly selfless this mech can be. But he doesn't back down from the question like he usually does. His expression of concern intensifies as he starts moving again, and his sharp optics find ample to worry about on your seemingly unharmed body, with particular attention being paid to your face. Those brilliant eyes of yours are well known to him, and so he can tell something is... off in their beautiful depths. Even if his medical studies focus very little on organics, he's able to recognize the signs of a body struggling, and your paleness combined with the way you labor for each breath tells him something is very wrong.
·Now in a race against time, he has no choice but to move, gunning it towards the ship's tech wing where the laboratories and medical bay are located. He doesn't yet know what's wrong with you for certain, but aid will be there if it's anywhere to be found. There's no time to be wasted in securing you somewhere either, he's going to have to face any threats as they come in the moment whilst ensuring your protection in the process. It's a set of circumstances he's encountered before in his long and eventful time as a soldier, but there's an entirely new variable this time around; you. He adores you, like no one he's ever met before, and perhaps it's selfish but the very thought of losing you... he's not sure his spark could take it.
·The soothing tone of his voice and the rhythmic thumping of his footsteps make it surprisingly difficult for you to heed his requests to stay as awake as possible. Even though your breaths are coming in with difficulty, it seems like sleep would be a fantastic idea at the moment, even if only to rest your eyes. His cupped hands just support your body so nicely, and are so warm, and his voice is so delightfully melodic. Why does he seem so intent on keeping you conscious? Why does he look so incredibly upset to see you struggling to keep your eyes open?
·The pathway he chooses is mercifully free of conflict at first, but that matters little due to your rate of deterioration, as you may not make it even at his full speed. Driving isn't an option due to his need to be combat ready, and the lack of options and hope is absolutely tearing him apart. He hasn't had someone like you in his life before, and the desperation in his voice begins to show that, cracking as he loses his steadfast control of his usually impervious wall of confidence. The selfishness of his desire kills him; how dare he put his own feelings on you due to his weakness? Begging you to survive for his sake?
·No amount of haze can prevent you from startling at his pain. There are tears in his optics, though he doesn't even seem to notice them, letting them fall down his face as he pleads. In the warm fog clouding your brain, you feel a surge of worry, and your hand instinctively grabs at his nearest digit to give it a squeeze. Before you can even offer a breathless reasurance, he ceases running and dives from gunfire that seems to erupt from nowhere, laying you in a tiny maintenance crevice before hurling himself at the second delay he knows you don't have time for. The last thing you see before drifting off is the grief in his optics that you wish you'd been able to comfort...
·While his combat skills always make things quick, in this blur of pain and rage he's downright brutal, ending each foe swiftly but with absolute contempt for their existence clear in every torn limb. Hits to his own frame don't register at all. Bullets and blades mean nothing in the face of what he's about to lose, and the vengeance fueling his strength turns foes into scattered body parts more effectively than any grenade ever could. By the end of it all he's likely set a record for the swiftness of his takedown, but it matters as little as his multitude of bleeding wounds. All he can see is your now limp body as he pulls it from the hiding spot, and his vision narrows to only your faintly moving chest and his pedes moving one past the other through the carnage.
·There's a mass of activity in the technology wing, likely due to injuries as well as the many bots ordered to stand guard in the event of battle, but he doesn't hear the reaction his arrival triggers in the slightest. His sharp processor is reduced to one goal, and anything unrelated doesn't exist. At the sight of the crowded medical bay he starts to strategize. Ratchet appears in his vision, first focusing only on his obvious injuries and the alien blood he didn't know was spattered across his frame, before well trained optics catch sight of the tiny human limp in his hands.
·There's a rush of an explanation; they think one of the systems downed was the atmospheric generators, resulting in a loss of the oxygen the ship maintains for your needs. It's all the information Thunderclash needs to act. Brushing off any help for himself and encouraging the more egregiously wounded to be tended first, he requests only to be provided what you need. Busy tending the injured, medics still assist him getting a supply of oxygen going where they can, with Ratchet using his particular knowledge of human anatomy to ensure the ratio is correct for your biology while Thunderclash prepares it all. Dexterous hands set you on a medical slab where an oxygen mask and scanner are used to return your blood oxygen to normal, and just like that, he knows you'll eventually be okay...
·By the time you wake up your tiny frame has been moved to a private room, both to keep you from the chaos of crammed in bots and to give the two of you privacy from adoring admirers. He's beside you, his wounds patched but his frame still dirtied with blood, a sight that shocks you enough to force a gasp into your mask. Perking up the instant he hears you, the hulking mech is as close as the berth allows in a flash. A stream of questions about your wellbeing passes his lips before you can get a word in. Between the dried blood, the patched wounds, and the faint discoloration of his optics that suggests recent weeping... It's hard to know what to ask him, so you vaguely request a rundown of what happened.
·His face falls, and in between recounts of alien attacks and near death experiences there's overwhelming self depreciation. To hear him tell it the entire affair might as well be his fault. You've always known him to be humble, even critical of his actions, but this borders on self destructive. Worse, the crux of his crisis seems to be that he was motivated to save you not just by duty, but by his selfish desire to protect the one he loved so dearly and can't bare to lose. His own desires are inexcusable in these things, as he puts it, and could have hindered him at your expense. Shaky arms rise so that you can grab the nearest part of him, a digit once again, as you encourage him to stop tormenting himself. You owed him your life, several times over just for today alone, and there wasn't a bot in existence less selfish than he. The kindness of his spark was what you'd fallen in love with, and what you still loved now, because he was more than a legend to you. You loved Thunderclash the bot, not the expectation everyone else had built around him, and thus he'd always be enough just by being himself. Finally relaxing after everything, and his spark singing at your ability to become his rock when he needs one, he allows himself to just rest and exist as he is. Laying his helm on the berth beside you, he nuzzles close, allowing himself to feel simple gratitude to have and love you as you do him.

***
Fireworks broke and rained hot glitter over the southern border of Center City and Goldgrave. A handful of bartenders were off duty and on the move.
Khlee von Heine walked among them. She was the only one who hadn’t taken the time to change out of her work clothes. Her coworkers were loud, merry, and prone to recklessness as they stumbled from one pop-up bar crawl to the next.
“Another year,” Gabe managed to roar over the next round of fireworks. “Can you believe we fucking did it?” He took a deep swig from the communal growler. The night was far from young and the barhands had lost track over how many times they refilled it. Gabe reluctantly handed it off to the next coworker so they could say their piece.
Khlee hung back in order to stand under a wooden arch whose sign was eclipsed in dead vines. But Khleo had committed its message to memory years ago.
Der Biergarten.
The plot of land overgrown in weeds and other invasive species was still up for sale, to Khleo’s relief. Though it was out of the way on most of her delivery routes, Khleo did her best to stop by every now and then. Just to make sure no one had bought up the property.
The barhand checked to see that her coworkers were distracted as she stepped up and snatched a flyer with the lot info off the gate. She folded it up and quickly tucked it in her pocket before the arm of a good friend looped around her neck.
Basil leaned on Khleo as he pressed the convex surface of the growler against her sternum.
“Your turn.”
Khleo playfully shoved him off of her, but kept the growler. She took a sip. Basil and the other barhands chided her — she was supposed to make a toast.
“Fine. Fine.” Khleo held up the bottle. “To progress.”
They made a show of peering into the depths of the amber glass. “Maybe this year we’ll get lucky and actually make some, yeah?”
Someone snatched the growler out of their hand. Gwendolyn? Max? The streets were too dark to tell.
Khleo’s friends were off. They blended in with the city’s bar crawlers as they chased down the next booze cart. People wanted refills that night, not whatever Khleo was about to say next.
Later when Khleo had returned to her apartment, she traded her work clothes for something softer and more comfortable. Then she dug through the pocket of her discarded jacket and retrieved the folded up flyer.
It was a short walk from her kitchen to the bedroom. There was no bed frame or vanity, just three lumpy mattresses stacked on top of each other that she rescued from the alley when she first moved in.
The room was already small, but it felt even more congested thanks to the uneven piles of text, of which there two types — loose leaf recipes or pages ripped out of cookbooks and cheap serial novels with depictions of bejeweled dragons on the covers.
The only piece of real furniture around was an antique dresser, the drawers of which were broken and jutting out like crooked teeth.
All except one.
Khleo took a deep breath before crouching and using both hands to work the bottom drawer open. Like always, it did not come quietly, but with a little patience and a lot of swearing, Khleo managed to pull it out.
Most of the drawer’s contents belonged to her late adoptive father, Hans von Heine. However, it was an unmarked jar that Khleo reached for. She screwed it open and tucked the flyer for the piece of real estate between old flyers and newspaper clippings back when the garden used to host events. The jar had cash in it too. Whatever Khleo could spare went into the jar. Most of it came from what was left of her tips after paying rent, bills, and whoever she needed in order to keep certain people off her back and out of her business.
Khleo sealed the jar and did her best to ignore the tightness in her chest as she struggled to get the drawer to shut all the way. Once she had, she found that her breathing had become more than a little unsteady. It only got worse when she heard the fireworks going off outside.
Khleo shut their eyes and leaned their forehead against one of the crooked drawers, trying not to dwell too much on where they were this time last here. As it turned out, they were right here, drunk and crying at the foot of this very dresser.
Khleo curled up on their side. Yes, tonight their head was buzzing from the alcohol, somehow both heavy and light. Yes, the tears had found their way to the surface again. Khleo was never one to hold them in as long as they could find the space to spill them.
Things would be different this year, Khleo told themself. They would make sure of it this time.
***
(Lucio’s POV)
Lucio hated the smell of this place. Rotting and damp. It was hard to believe that they were still in Vesuvia.
“You always have such a sour expression on your face whenever I come to feed. Why so, my Count?”
The silky, sardonic voice belonged to Lucio’s host, Quaestor Valdemar.
“Don’t call me that,” Lucio snapped. He wanted to fold his arms and stifle some of the shivers running up his back, but he couldn’t as long as he was hooked up to Valdemar’s device.
“My apologies, Lucio,” Valdemar corrected themself coolly.
Another shiver climbed up Lucio’s neck as he bit back the urge to say, I don’t want to be called that either.
“Tell me, what plagues you?” They added with a chuckle. “Don’t you like your living arrangement?”
Ever since cutting a deal with the scientist turned demon, Lucio had been living out his days in the lowest cellar of the Lazaret. When he was first brought back from the Devil’s realm, he had been too weak to demand anything else. At the time, all he cared about was that he was alive and wouldn’t be devoured by the courtiers.
Lucio glanced at the tube looping around his forearm, its transparent pathways already inflated with his blood.
But at what cost?
Lucio grinded his teeth. It was too late to consider that now.
This was how it always went anyway. Lucio would be presented with an opportunity — a way to improve what he could not on his own. He would leap at it, no questions asked.
Why, after all this time, after all those treacherous dealings could he not bring himself to stop and think things through?
As the last of Valdemar’s toll left his body, Lucio started to wonder what his mother might say about all of this. But he’d rather eat another shitty bargain than go down that road right now.
“Your contribution to our arrangement hasn’t been as satisfying compared to when we first began.”
“What are you trying to say?” Despite his nasty tone, Lucio was grateful for the distraction. “My blood’s not tasty enough for you?”
“It used to be,” Valdemar said. “I’ll be honest with you, Lucio, I agreed to keep you around as an energy reserve primarily for that reason. The notion of devouring you in one sitting and having to share with my dear contemporaries was not nearly as attractive as the possibility of having your flesh to dine on whenever I needed to during this indefinite campaign in your current reality.”
Lucio hissed as Valdemar unceremoniously removed the needle from his vein. He wasn’t sure how to react to what he had just heard. Thanks to Valdemar’s mask, all Lucio could read from their expression was the growing crow’s feet at the corners of their blood red eyes.
“So?”
Valdemar applied a cotton wad to the puncture wound and dug it in with their thumb.
“Ow! Hey – Owie!” Lucio yelped.
“So, my Count,” they sweetly clarified as they kept up the pressure, “I need you to find a way to restore that vitality you once possessed. Technically, you’re in peak physical health. I don’t know if you’ve looked in the mirror lately, but the evidence of your tussle with the plague has all but disappeared from your eyes. Your hair has been growing…” they took a moment to scan their critical gaze over the pale blond patches clinging to Lucio’s jaw. “You could easily blend in with the citizens.”
Lucio swallowed. “B-blend in? Why the devil would I want to blend in?”
Valdemar made a less than human sound as they peeled back their mask and bared their needle-sharp teeth at the former Count.
“Right now you taste like a boneless, gutless, gill-infected inferior breed of mackerel. And I prefer to have rare, mercury-rich, vinegar-glazed bluefin tuna. Captivity is poisoning your blood. So I’m giving you permission to get out there in your beloved city and find a way to sweeten it.”
The Quaestor gave Lucio a not-so-gentle shove in his chair. They replaced their mask as they straightened up. The former Count’s eyes widened as he covered his hand over his arm. The last thing he wanted was to piss off Valdemar. But he didn’t know the first thing when it came to what they were asking him to do.
“What happens if I can’t, erm… make my blood taste better? What if spending time in the city doesn’t work?”
The Quaestor sighed, their emotions back in check. They were already half occupied with cleaning their instruments and storing the sacks of Lucio’s blood in a portable cooler for later.
“Then I will have no choice but to invite my courtier companions over for a nice potluck dinner.” They glanced up. The crow’s feet were back. “And you’ll be the forgettable appetizer that no one asked for.”
Later, when Valdemar was kind enough to row Lucio across the stretch of water to the mainland, they suggested, “You should find some people who are very healthy. Outside of captivity, fish are the most robust when they’re in competition with other capable anatomies.”
Lucio hugged what was left of his royal uniform – a tattered speckled cape – around his shoulders. He grumbled, “Would you, for fuck’s sake, stop comparing me to a fish, Quaestor?”
Unperturbed, Valdemar said, “We’ve arrived.”
Lucio lowered his hood and blinked out at the morning overcast sky. His top lip curled into a distinctive snarl as he recognized where they were.
“Not here. Anywhere but here.”
Valdemar gestured to the nearest dock. “Get out, Lucio.”
The former Count wanted to blot out the images of the slumped architecture and purge his nostrils of the stale watery stench.
“Not the Flooded District. I can’t stand this place. Can’t you see that it’s a failure that I don’t need reminding of?”
“Lucio, don’t be so foolish,” Valdemar said almost tenderly as they nudged him out of the boat. “The entire city is your failure. Much of which is hard to see. Oh, but it’s there. Now go on,” they said as if encouraging a child at the fairgrounds, “go find someone healthy. I’ll come to retrieve you in a fortnight’s time.”
Lucio couldn’t believe he was watching Valdemar row off into the mist. He tried to take a deep breath, but the air was so bad that he just ended up coughing.
Even though Valdemar had been correct about Lucio’s appearance, looking nothing like he did in the days when he was the Count, he still found himself trying to crowd off his features with his hood any time a resident passed him by on the floating, rickety streets. But to his relief, no one seemed to know or even care about who he was or might be.
As soon as Lucio relaxed his shoulders and began walking with more confidence, the inner walls of his stomach suddenly contracted. Then he remembered. He had just given blood. Lots of it. Usually, the Quaestor supplied him with something to eat, but this time they hadn’t.
“Damn them,” Lucio hissed. He cradled his abdomen like it was made of glass as he tried to make his way towards some kind of common plaza. He had no money, but perhaps he would be able to find a dumpster to rummage through.
He was passing by a narrow alley when he caught a glimpse of the impossible out of the corner of his eye.
A lion.
Its coat was creamy and short all over. Its size was nothing short of mythical.
Lucio was tempted to shout at the two idiots occupying the alley with this beast on the loose, but they seemed both aware of its presence and entirely calm about it.
One of them was slumped against the wall of the grimy building. Despite their threadbare attire and weary expression, they were smiling at the other.
“No, Khlee. Please don’t. You’ll be late for work.”
The person squatting before the first seemed to be focused on the task of sewing up what appeared to be rips in a heavy cloak. Even with their short jacket, Lucio could detect the shape of their arms. Their brown curls had enough volume to hide most of the details in their profile.
“Nah. I’m already late. This’ll only take a minute.”
There wasn’t much time to take in the rest of their features before the big cat stepped up, blocking Lucio’s view of them.
< Can I help you? >
Lucio ran. He nearly tripped over himself getting out of there so fast. But he didn’t go far. He gripped the edge of a building and poked his head out, waiting for the lioness and her human to emerge. When they finally did, Quaestor Valdemar’s words from earlier echoed in Lucio’s mind.
Go find someone healthy.
Well, the individual strolling confidently down the street with a full grown lion at their side was definitely looking like the healthy sort.
At the moment, Lucio wasn’t really thinking about what would happen to him if he failed Valdemar’s taste requirements.
Right now, his stomach was hurting.
If the body of this lion tamer was any indication, they knew where Lucio could find himself a meal.

A Look At August 2021
A Look At August 2021
August is a month, that on its own, naturally favors success. It is a time, that encourages us to be in a leadership position; and will favor those that know how to lead compassionately, and see the value in each person. It is a great time, for group events and projects; especially those that nourish the community and bring people together, in ways that are fun and light-hearted. This month, encourages us to implement aspects of play and fun into our work; and to help each other out, so that the whole group becomes stronger.
This year, we find that it may be a bit harder, to keep the lighter energy alive. There is naturally a competitive energy that is surfacing; and it is leading people to be more out for their own self, than to work with others. Egos and insecurities are both riding high; and while this can be good for confidence, it is a false sense of confidence, because it is coming from a space of needing to prove our worth, value, and abilities. It comes from wanting to be better than others; and seeking to take all of the glory for oneself.
Those that stand in this competitive energy, are likely to find empty successes, have their successes quickly removed, or get dished out a big piece of humble pie; as they do not come out first, or on top of others. While not hard to accept; it is likely to be exactly what is needed. This happens, because they are not working within natural flow; and are creating conflict and contradiction unnecessarily. As a result, they will have to start over and over again; until they are willing to break this pattern. The best thing that we can do, is to remove competition and conflict; and simply focus on supporting each other to shine in our skills and assets that we have to offer, and to appreciate what everyone has to offer.
This is a time, where social gatherings are favored. It is a time, where working intelligently and diligently; brings very strong results. It is during this month, that we are likely to get an idea of how well our efforts are paying off; and where we are able to begin, to start to enjoy life a bit more. This is a time, where we have the ability and opportunity to rise into greater authority and command; in those areas that we are able to be creative and heart-centered.
It is important, that the things that we are focused on; will bring a truly fortunate future. This is a great time, to carry out the things that are dear to your heart. However, we must also remember, that it is very important to share our good fortune with others. It will be wise for us to donate time to an organization or charity, that assists those that are less fortunate. It is important to recognize those that helped us, make the successes that we are experiencing. It is important to give back to our community; and to share what we are abundant in.
It is naturally easier for people to be generous, and wanting to give. To find ways to do this, where people can also relax and have a good time; will magnify the benefits that come out of doing that. It will be important to consider, how you can help those that have not had much of a chance in life; also find successes and implement things in their life, that support the well-being of others.
From August 1st – August 22nd we will need to break through the lies, of those that are simply trying to stir up trouble. It is important to learn what is true, and what is not; who is working from generosity, and who is try to buy us in some way. Our focus right now, needs to be on learning the difference between teachers and smooth talkers.
Our focus needs to be on harmony and balance. So, we need to be aware, of where we are feeling magnetic pulls. We will have to decipher if we are being pulled only through physical chemistry; or if there is something more genuine there. Are we feeling an attraction to something, in order to control it; or are we attracted to it, because there is some sort of true soul connection there? We will need to sit with things, and see if we are only wanting them because they are taboo and we can’t really have them; or if we want them, because they are awakening something in us, that is creating balance and engaging our creative energies.
It is through discernment and the implementation of wisdom, that we will find our successes. It is in dismantling and walking away from the lies and deception, that we will gain victory over initiations and tests. If we remain committed to the truth and the soul’s path, then we can advance out of karmic cycles that have held us down. The more lies, deception, and manipulation that we clear out at this time; the more fortunate our future will be.
From August 23rd – the end of the month we see many similar patterns as the earlier part of the month. It is during this time, that we will be shown where we are not operating in complete integrity; and where others are not operating that way. It is very important, that we bring a close to these patterns in our life; and that we are willing to stand up for the truth, and allowing justice to be victorious over corruption.
During this part of the month, our successes are directly connected to how much of this we are willing to clear out. We are called to see the lies that surround physical money; and to re-establish a more positive relationship with the material world, instead of one that is based in control and seeking only material wealth. It is time for us to learn what true wealth is; and to stop letting others manipulate us with physical wealth, and false promises of honor. The human desire for recognition and power, is one of the greatest lies; and it is likely that we will see where these dynamics are playing out in our world. It is likely, that those that have sold out for earthly fame and fortune will be made known; and we will see how they have destroyed the hopes and spirits of others in the process.
It is during this time, that we will learn where there has been treachery; and how it has started wars and battles, in literal and proverbial families. This is a time, where we must operate with caution and wisdom. We will learn a great deal from the plans that are foiled; for they will show the lies that we have been living under. We must learn how to create a world, where corruption is not allowed to rule over us; and we need to teach ourselves, how to see the tricks that are used to manipulate us and to support the elite.
In summary, this month has strong competitive energy; which we must learn to stay out of. It is a time to have fun, and engage in things that support our communities, and the well-being of those that have not had as many opportunities as we have. It is important for us to focus on creating a truly favorable future, that is based in supporting one another; instead of ruling over each other. People are likely to be feeling generous; and opportunities to have fun, while supporting a good cause, are likely to be quite successful.
We need to learn what is true and what is not; and to focus on restoring balance and harmony. It is in discernment and wisdom, that we will be able to unfold success. It is important to come into integrity; and to close out, those things that are not in integrity. Take time to learn, how to create a positive relationship with the material world; instead of one that is based in control, competition, and seeking only material wealth. Consider ways that you can stop allowing corruption to rule your life.
I welcome you to stop competing with others. What if competition creates loss, no matter who “wins”?
I welcome you to have fun engaging in things, that support your community and the well-being of others; that have not had many opportunities. What if the more opportunities we can provide others, the more opportunities that we will also receive?
I welcome you to focus on ways that you can join with others, to mutually support each other. What if this is a key to creating a favorable future?
I welcome you to be generous with what you are abundant in. What if this can benefit many people?
I welcome you to focus on restoring balance and harmony, by standing in the truth. What if truth, is what allows balance and harmony to exist?
I welcome you to use discernment and wisdom, to guide you towards success. What if discernment allows us to align with truth, and truth allows us to enter Divine alignment; and in turn Divine alignment always brings forth success?
I welcome you to close out anything that is not integrity. What if this is a way of inviting blessings to come to you?
I welcome you to create a positive relationship, with the material world. What if this happens naturally, where we stand in confidence and abundance; instead of control and competition?
I welcome you to stop allowing corruption to rule your life. What if you stop associating with what is corrupt; and what benefits are there, when you stop associating with what is corrupt?
What To Focus Our Actions On
This month, our actions need to be focused on getting to the truth of things; especially in our relationships. Lies, deceit, and manipulation are all over the place; and it is very confusing, trying to sort through it all. It is hard to tell who is with us, who is against us, who is playing on more than one side; and who wants to be with us but isn’t, and who doesn’t want to be with us but is. However, getting to the truth is critical; because we need the wisdom of understanding things, so that successes can unfold for us.
That being said, you do not want to take anything for face value; even when it comes from someone that you think you could trust. It is worth learning the different ways, that this type of energy is used; and why. A big piece of it has to do with maintaining control, protecting something so that it can be accomplished without sabotage, creating chaos and confusion and separation or division; and trying to find out more information about something.
It is with this influence that we may find out who have been spies or double agents, we may learn who is behind the grand schemes and deceptions in our world, we may find much of our world shaken up; because it is likely things are quite different, than we thought they were. However, this is all very valuable to us. Through this we can forge favorable relationships. We will be able to make choices from truth and wisdom; and this will lead us to be victorious, over what has challenged us deeply.
As we take the time to learn of all of the lies and distortions, and get to the truth; we also come to understand many of the blocks that have been standing in our way. We also have a wonderful opportunity to change things out; and to connect with those people that will truly love and support us in life. While we may not like what we see; we can get things moving in our life, and make wonderful shifts that are beautiful and favorable for us.
I welcome you to get to the truth of things. What if the reason things haven’t been flowing for you, is because you couldn’t see what was blocking you?
I welcome you to do your own research, instead of just taking things for how they are presented to you. What if things are not what you think they are; for better or worse?
I welcome you to see the opportunities available to you; once you accept the truth of things. What if the opportunities will provide you with wonderful experiences?
I welcome you to change out lies, for the truth. What if making this change, gives you victory over your challenges?
What To Focus Our Thoughts On
From August 1st – August 11thour thoughts have much of the same patterns, as our action energy. It is strongly showing lies, mind games, and attempts to sabotage success. You can even call this another “psy-op” period; because it is designed to break down the mind’s ability to function, reason, and to see things clearly. It is designed to disorient us in a way, that sabotages success that we are headed for.
What is particularly hard with this influence, is that when we feel that we cannot trust our mind, we lose trust in ourselves; and from there most everything else breaks down. You have to know that you are stronger than this. With these forces doubled up, we can expect damaging things to come; in very appealing packages. There is likely to be a lot of charisma, charm, and aspects of “serendipity” used; in order to convince you to take a certain action, make a particular choice, or go in a particular direction.
The way to move past this, is to stay focused and diligent on your own work; and see it through. This is a time, where it is important to move forward with what you need to do; regardless of what others are saying to do. You need to stand clear, in the soul’s wisdom and ways. If you can do this, then you will see success; and are likely to be acknowledged for the results that you bring. This is not the time to go with the crowd; because they are leading you to the slaughter, instead of the pasture.
From August 12th – through the end of the month, we find that we will be able to put some of those lies and tactics to rest. The worst of it will be over. This is a good time to think about what needs to be closed; and to make that closure. It is important to keep focused on the breakthroughs, instead of what is ending. Keep your mind on where you are going; and don’t look back.
This is a great time to put your mind to work, getting creative and exploring things. It is open and clear enough to be able to learn things; and to understand things that have eluded you before. Take the time to observe things, before making final decisions about them; and explore them from many different perspectives.
If you find that you are the one, that is the source of information for others; then you may want to step into a leadership position. You may not be able to avoid this, if you are in a group situation; as people will respect and want your advice. Mostly, this is because you are the one, that is able to see how the different pieces are working together. Working as a team, is really a powerful learning experience; and the key is not that you have to do everything, but that you know who to team up to get things done. You may have the ability to see what will work or not; but most of all, you know how to get people to work as a team.
I welcome you to stop playing into, and being a part of, any psy-ops that are going on. What if breaking out of them, helps to bring an end to them; for not only you, but also others?
I welcome you to see past charisma, charm, and what seems “serendipitous”; so that you can make wise choices. What if these things are being used, to pull you out of the successes that are ready to come through for you?
I welcome you to remain focused and diligent on your own work. What if going with the crowd, is leading you into danger instead of joy?
I welcome you to close out the lies that you have held onto in your mind; and to stay focused on your breakthroughs. What if this is a time to bring closure to that which holds these lies in your mind; and you need to keep moving forward without looking back?
I welcome you to explore new idea and, concepts; and to realize that you didn’t see them sooner, because of the lies that you have held onto, or had in your life. What if you explore things from many different perspectives; before making final decisions about them?
I welcome you to step into a leadership position, if you are asked to do so. What if you are the one that knows how to bring success; since you are seeing things with a clearer mind?
Connecting To Our Soul Self
From August 1st – August 16th shows that our soul, will best be nourished by meeting our responsibilities and obligations. The more proactive we are with getting things done during this time, the happier we will be. Work on those really big projects, that you can do on your own. If you need help, then seek those that can work; and won’t try to sway you about things, or influence your decisions. This can be a very productive time, if we can get past any initial resistance to doing things.
It is easy for our spirit to feel a bit down or heavy with everything; particularly if we have to work just for the sake of money, or need to do things that are in natural conflict with the soul. People are likely to be very money focused and greedy; and that can be not only draining, but also lead to arguments and conflict. This is a time, where we may find that someone close to us like a relative, friend, or partner has lied about money. They may have used it on an affair; or tried to hide it from us, so that we didn’t get our share.
This is a time, where we may find that we are being taken advantage of in some way, regarding money. It could be that we have been working hard, and someone is expecting us to take care of them; and are out spending your hard-earned money, on expensive luxuries. It could be that while you have been struggling away to make ends meet, they have not even tried to do anything to help you.
Ultimately you need to let go of those that are doing this. It is time to put an end to, what in reality, has been dead for a long time. In world events, this can play out where we see people snap; and it creates accidents that lead to death. For most people, however, it is a time to let go and let our experiences guide us in a more favorable direction. This is a time, that can favor making shifts into things that we love doing, instead of remaining in those things that we do because we feel that we have to do them. It is a time where what we enjoy, can shift into supporting us; if we are operating practically. Take time to consider, if you are carrying too many responsibilities and obligations; and need to lighten your load.
From August 17th through the rest of the month, we nourish our soul by understanding the lessons that our experiences in life have taught us. It is about realizing, that we can see clearly enough to not repeat past mistakes; and to understand how and why, we made the choices we did earlier in life. It is a time to understand, why certain patterns have played out in our life over and over.
Now is a time where, we may be presented with a second chance on something; that was not fully brought to completion. We have the opportunity to move forward with foresight, and from true wisdom. We are given chances, to choose differently than we have in the past; and to make those choices, from a clear and wiser space.
It is during this time that if we have learned our lessons, and are using foresight; that we can experience some rapid successes. When this comes together, with approaching things from a space of peace and love; then we can truly manifest, some of the most beautiful things. This becomes a period, where we can connect with the power of our soul; as we realize that our spirit is more powerful and resilient, than anything that the earthly world presents to us. We begin to bring in those people and situations, that have an abundance of compassion and unconditional love.
I welcome you to be proactive in getting big projects done. What if this allows you to make strong accomplishments?
I welcome you to bring a closure to those people and situations that are taking advantage of you. What if this is about honoring your own self, and choosing Divine presence over petty material things?
I welcome you to shift into things that you love doing, and are in alignment with your soul self. What if challenging people have been in your life, because you have not been honoring your soul self, with what you are doing in the world?
I welcome you to understand why certain patterns have played out over and over again in your life. What if knowing this, helps you to complete these cycles; and choose from wisdom moving forward?
I welcome you to realize that rapid successes at this time, are a direct result of learning the lessons of past experiences. What if this opens you to manifest beautiful things, through being connected with your soul; and operating from peace and love?
