#Erickson the Chosen

[mellowwillowy]

White Day

Why yes, Yandere who gives you poisoned chocolates with a straight smile, antidote hidden underneath their sleeve as they watch you crumble from the poison.

They'd feign ignorance and all, asking you all sorts of questions while you writhe in pain, leaning against them for support, mentally and physically.

Then, oh! They just have the cure for it! Here, drink this.

A fucking cure that is somehow brewed with aphrodisiac.

Now you are all bothered in heat, humping against their thigh and begging for relief. How about a kiss? Does that help? No? You are suggesting you need something 'more'?

And there you go, folded into a mating press, whimpering and moaning like a bitch in heat <3

How do you feel when you see others utilizing hypnosis around you? You made it clear you can only view hypnosis as a sexual act. Does that only count when performing, or does it apply to everyone around you?

Yes, see here's my problem. Hypnosis feels like a sexual act to me. Always has. And the first stage hypnotist I ever saw in the 1990s on TV was this guy:

And as I grew older and learned more about hypnosis fetish, this became more difficult to bear. You see, this man is a mediocre stage magician, very unattractive to me, and his stage name is so badly chosen that very few people in my country can even say it right. People make fun of him and think his show is laughable, they laugh not because it's entertaining, but because it's bad.

And this is where I first learned that my fetish is weird. That people laugh at it. That some people are scared of it and don't want it done to them. This is why I'm ashamed of my fascination with hypnosis. I blame Rasti Rostelli.

Is hypnosis ever not sexual to me? No. My brain has completely conflated and equated "arousing" and "hypnotic". And this is why I felt I could never academically learn hypnosis. Even reading academic manuals for hypnotherapy got me aroused. Some of the most boring accounts of Erickson doing his unethical demeaning shit to a person asking for help got me turned on.

So, when I learned that Wiseguy taught a certification class, I knew it was my only chance of learning hypnosis and getting the certificate without breaking my own ethical code. Without spooking non-kinky people in an academic setting. This is why, even though I'm a fully qualified hypnotherapist, I'm never doing hypnosis with anyone in a clinical setting where they are asking for my help. Because I get off on it, and that's unwanted. (and here's the link with yesterday's Thoughts)

Today's Thoughts may also be related to this. I need to think on it some more.

Hart and Hunter - Chapter 36 - Part 2

*Warning Adult Content*

Julian Hart

Reluctantly, I relinquish my hold on Dane and get to my feet, finally taking stock of my surroundings properly.

Beyond the rocky banks of the pool, an immense and primordial forest extends into the gloom.

Colossal trees stretch towards a shadowy canopy almost beyond the range of sight, while dark ferns choke the ground between their trunks.

The musky scent of sylvan decay hangs heavy in the air, an oppressive silence fills the quiet left in the wake of speech and if a Tyrannosaur stepped from the shadows, I'd hardly be surprised.

"The fuck is this place?" Erickson asks under his breath.

His voice, usually so brash and obnoxiously self-assured, sounds small and uncertain now and he stays close to Freya's side.

'Typical bully. Big and tough when he has the advantage... pissing his pants when the tables turn.'

Then he shivers and hugs himself and I reconsider.

I don't know that much about Erickson and I'd never cared to learn more.

I'd taken a dislike to him when his clumsy come-ons turned me off but I got the feeling his relationships seldom lasted longer than a one-night stand.

For whatever reason, it seemed he'd chosen a lonely path.

What I do know is that he cares about his sister and his niece and that he's scared and for the moment, that's all that matters.

"I don't know, precisely," I say, answering his question.

"But you can think of it like an alternate dimension or like Narnia but scarier. Either way, it's not our world and we should be careful."

He turns to look at me, wiry reddish brown brows pinched above the bridge of his nose.

"You're one of them, aren't you?" he asks.

"One of these Fae."

"Yeah, I am."

He nods at Dane and Freya.

"Him and... her. They're really... uh..."

"Werewolves, yeah."

He swallows, looking pale and a little ill.

I sigh.

"Look Erickson... we're the same people you've always known and harassed. Relax. Let's concentrate on finding your niece and getting the fuck out of here, okay?"

He nods.

"Okay."

I turn back to Freya.

"All I have are a few fragments of Stephanie's memory. Except for the pool and the general atmosphere, nothing looks familiar. Can you pick up a trail?"

"If there's a trail to find, I'll find it," she says.

While the rest of us wring out our clothes and dry our hair as best we can, Freya makes a thorough inspection of the ground surrounding the pool.

On the opposite side, she stops and crouches to inspect the gravelly bank.

"Somebody came ashore here recently," she says fingers tracing a slight impression.

"Somebody light, with small feet."

Straightening again, she turns away from the pool and pushes aside the bracken, taking a few steps into the deeper shadows beyond.

A few paces in, she stops again.

"Found it," she calls softly.

I help Dane to his feet and we make our way around the pool to join her.

She stands facing the grey gloom beneath the trees and points a finger as if at a straight and obvious path.

To me, the thick bracken, tumbled outcrops of stone and detritus of dead trees looks the same as anywhere else but Dane nods.

"You take point, Frey," he says.

"I'll bring up the rear. Everybody stay close and stay quiet. Got it?"

I grasp Dane's hand... he doesn't have to tell me to stay close... and Erickson nods.

Freya said to work, like a hound on the trail, leading us from mark to mark.

Things I wouldn't notice stand out like red flags to her... an overturned pebble, a broken fern frond, the trace of a scent only a wolf's nose could detect.

Our progress is slow, nonetheless and the deeper we penetrate into the strange, oppressive forest, the more our unease increases.

As Stephanie's memories had shown, strange noises break the silence... low clicks and distant knocking sounds, hoots and whistles that are almost but not quite, the cries of birds and now and then the snap of a twig underfoot that makes us all jump.

We've been walking for about fifteen minutes when Freya comes to a halt, raising her hand and then closing it in a fist which I recognize as a military gesture to stop and freeze.

Then she lowers her hand palm down and we slowly drop to a crouch.

After a moment, she gestures for us to come together and we gather in a little huddle beneath the ferns.

"What is it?" Dane asks.

"Blood," Freya whispers.

"And from the smell, a lot of it."

"Human?"

"Can't tell."

"Close?"

"Must be. There's no wind."

As she says it, I realize she's right... not a breath of air stirs the bracken, which accounts for the eerie stillness beneath the trees.

"All right," Dane says.

"Scout ahead. We'll stay here."

Freya nods but as she turns to go, I reach out and catch her arm.

"Wait," I say.

"Let me. I can move silently and I can go Unseen."

Freya looks to Dane for confirmation.

Reluctantly, he nods.

"Be careful," he whispers, squeezing my hand.

His voice is a little wheezy from his close call but Freya was right and his lungs are healing fast.

Still, I'm reluctant to leave him.

Then he smiles and places his trust in me again.

"You got this, Jules."

Smiling my gratitude, I squeeze his hand in return.

Then I release him, turn away and will myself Unseen.

Dust jacket synopsis finally approved of by multiple people lol

Gravitas:

Jimmy Erickson dreamed of many things. Of their band getting signed on for a record deal or mending his fraying friendship with his old best friend... or at the very least of escaping his father's abusive household. Vinnie Santini dreamed of cigarettes and smoke and a day when he didn't have to put up with his drug addled mother. Or maybe he just dreamed of Jimmy, even if he doubted anything would ever come of that. When Gravitas, a hard hitting, multiplatinum grunge band, put out a flier for a brand new drummer and bassist, neither of them could quite believe their fortune when they're chosen to audition. But, when the band's manager, the cold and predatory Rush Wellington, latches onto Jimmy, drawing him into a secret underground cult of powerful psychics, Vinnie has to figure out a way to save his old friend. Before time runs out, and Jimmy becomes a lost cause, beyond his, or anyone's reach.

Admittedly, joining community theater after they had already chosen their cast for their upcoming play wasn't the best timing on Brendon's part, but he was glad to still be around to help out with props and the set for the time being. He was never the most confident person, so maybe getting to know the other people involved before he'd ever have to act, dance, or sing in front of them would make him feel a lot better about auditioning later. For now he was just painting the backdrops for one of the sets when someone started walking by. "Would you mind handing me that other bucket of paint, please? I'm running out and I've convinced myself that if I get up now I'll trip and get paint all over myself" he said, knowing it sounded completely ridiculous but he was clumsy enough that it would happen to him.

A little religious parable from The Bonehunters by Steven Erickson.

“Modest relevance,” the demon said. “I would tell you a tale, brother. Early in the clans history, many centuries past, there arose, like a breath of gas from the deep, a new cult. Chosen as its representative god was the most remote, most distant of gods among the pantheon. A god that was, in truth, indifferent to the clans of my kind. A god that spoke naught to any mortal, that intervened never in mortal affairs. Morbid. The leaders of the cult proclaimed themselves the voice of that god. They wrote down laws, prohibitions, ascribances, propitiations, blasphemies, punishments for nonconformity, for dispute and derivations. This was but rumour, said details maintained in vague fugue, until such time as the cult achieved domination and with domination, absolute power. "Terrible enforcement, terrible crimes committed in the name of the silent god. Leaders came and went, each further twisting words already twisted by mundane ambition and the zeal for unity. Entire pools were poisoned. Others drained and the silts seeded with salt. Eggs were crushed. Mothers dismembered. And our people were plunged into a paradise of fear, the laws made manifest and spilled blood the tears of necessity. False regret with chilling gleam in the centre eye. No relief awaited, and each generation suffered more than the last." Loric studied the demon at his side. “What happened?” “Seven great warriors from seven clans set out to find the Silent God, set out to see for themselves if this god had indeed blessed all that had come to pass in its name.” “And did they find the silent god?” "Yes, and too, they found the reason for its silence. The god was dead. It had died with the first drop of blood spilled in its name." "I see, and what is the relevance of this tale of yours, however modest?" "Perhaps this. The existence of many gods conveys true complexity of mortal life. Conversely, the assertion of but one god leads to a denial of complexity, and encourages the need to make the world simple. Not the fault of the god, but a crime committed by its believers.” “If a god does not like what is done in its name, then it should act.” “Yet, if each crime committed in its name weakens it . . . very soon, I think, it has no power left and so cannot act, and so, ultimately, it dies."

Angelle Brooks’ Television Series and Top Movies

Former model and actress Angelle Brooks is of African American descent. She has starred in a number of films and television shows, most notably as Holly Brooks in the famous Malcolm & Eddie and Maxine De la Cruz in V.I.P. Angelle Brooks is a black American citizen who has worked as an actress to build up a fortune that is thought to be worth roughly $1.4 million. Surprisingly, the actress, who is over 50, is not in a relationship right now. The skilled actress and former model's life and relationships are examined in further detail in this article.

Nationality and origin

She was born in Miami, Florida, the United States of America. She was born in 1967 under the sign of the lion (Leo), and because of where she was born, she is an American citizen. Mrs. Brooks celebrates her birthday on August 11. African Americans make up Angelle's ethnic group. There isn't much information accessible regarding the identity of the talented actress' parents and what they do or did for a living because she plainly likes to keep her family's identities hidden from the public.

Angelle Brooks was the youngest of four siblings growing up in Miami, Florida. The actress has never thought it necessary to reveal the names of her brothers and sisters or the professions they have chosen. While the actress appears to be adequately educated, there are no publicly available records that show where she obtained her formal education starting from elementary school to college.

The line of these Yandere Fans is very thin <3

First, we have the Yan! Pervert Fans.

Yes, they take pictures of your panty shots if you wear something of a short skirt without any bloomer. Or... your abs. Your cleavage, your bare chest, your clothed crotch (like the bulge on the pants).

Anything innocent will turn scandalously perverted in their hands! But! They don't share with just randos! No no no, the only time they'll share is when they found someone equally down bad for some kind of 'trade'.

Second, we have the Yan! Respectful Fans. C'mon' now, they are yanderes. Ain't no way they are gonna be respectful.

Unlike the perverted ones, they are respectful during the handshake event, they talk normally and even manage to flirt with you whenever they get the chance to. Their goal is to make you blush!

Well, that doesn't mean they are never not in the 'trade' group <3 Heck, they need relief too!

Third, the Yan! Guard-dog Fans.

Yeah, they are barking at the perverted fans for sure. How dare these pebbles leer at you in such a way? Imprudent!

You bet they are the leader of the group fighting in the comment section (yeah they fight harder than respectful+perverted fans combined). They are also the type of fans who make sure no nasty comments linger around you!

BIOGRAPHY

Born and raised in Kismet Harbor, for most of her formative years Waverly expected she’d likely remain in town her whole life; go to college nearby, find work, and settle down in the same place her parents had chosen for their family. And parts of that seemed to go to plan for a while, she even fell in love with the star pitcher, a boy named Jasper Erickson. Jasper and Waverly were head over heels for each other from the start and when he got several offers to play Division 1, they chose Duke University together since it was one of two schools on the list that she’d also been accepted to.

Freshman and Sophomore year of college flew by, but when they returned in September for junior year, Jasper’s standard physical before the start of baseball training returned some abnormal results. He was referred and referred to doctor after doctor until he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. Estimates suggested he had two or three years to live, four most optimistically. Rocked by the news, the couple and their families struggled with the idea of going forward with normal life. Jasper took the time he had left in his own hands and asked Waverly to marry him. The next year was a whirlwind, they both left school and decided to travel, trying to soak up as much life with each other as possible. The two years that followed saw the love of her life start to slowly deteriorate, until he eventually passed away.

Totally shattered, Waverly pulled away from her family and friends and essentially dropped off the map for several years, roaming from place to place and never staying anywhere long enough to feel settled. It took time, but eventually Waverly found herself able to try living again. She went back to school and finished her degree as well as several teaching certifications. Coming home to Kismet Harbor she started out as a teaching assistant and sub before becoming the full time art teacher at the high school two years back. Although the pieces have started to come back together, even now Waverly finds herself a bit haunted and distant from most. She always has a smile and a kind word for others and loves her work, but none of it is enough to entirely fill the hole her husband left.

Brand Identity - Assignment 3

For my Assignment 3 and FINAL Assignment, I’ve chosen to make a business that incorporates my own art and local artists on gin and beer bottles. The brand name is “Peyton Erickson Art” but in short “PEA” or “P”. Further into my research, I found that in Ireland they can make gin and beer out of pea’s and pea starch! I’ve also always had a thing for old dive bars, so I think making a business that would work alongside them would be really fun and something that actually interests me.

After my talk with Ian, I think there are even more ways I can incorporate local places’ works into my idea other than just artwork, like Whiskey District bottles.

[picturedetroit]

“The Romance of Time” Honored to announce that my mixed media piece, “The Romance of Time” has been chosen to be exhibited at the @ccs_detroit Alumni show! The show opens: May 13, 2022 6:00 PM Valade Family Gallery (Inside the Taubman Building) 485 W Milwaukee St Detroit, MI 48202 The show will run concurrent with the Student Show, which opens the same evening at 7:00 PM. I want to thank Anthony Spangler and especially Todd Erickson, who worked with me to get my piece delivered around my grandmother’s funeral. It meant a lot, and there was a point where I thought I might need to withdraw from the show due to stress, so thank you so much for your kindness during that difficult time. Wishing all of the other Alumni a good show and I look forward to seeing you at the Opening! 💝 (at Detroit, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdTNeVeLC6K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Guest Lecturer

8 May 2022.

National University of Singapore, her alma mater as well as her work place for the past years, was seen busy with the bustling of students here and there. Some were having their break on the park, sitting on the bench or on the grass while reading their books and previous class’s notes with their friends or alone, some were talking and joking around with their own circle, letting out the stress in their head after hours of lecture.

The lecturers were seen busy as well in the meeting room, discussing a sudden matter that one of them suggested earlier and being scheduled as well in their agenda of the first half of the year; guest lectures. Mostly, the guest lecturers were chosen from their successful alumni and it became one of their best programs each academic year.

“It’s wise to say that the agenda of the guest lecture became a very expected program in our faculty. What do you think about it, Miss Adelaidine?” asked the head of the faculty, Earon Hawt. “Yes, I do agree. Our students showed bigger enthusiasm in each guest lecture that we held. The number of attendees increased significantly each year and I think we can proceed with more lectures for this year.” Fransesca answered.

The proud looks from her three closest friends who were now also her colleagues could be seen as they saw how the head of the faculty even trusted her for this particular project. Yes, everyone knew that Fransesca Adelaidine was one of the senior professors in the institution. One of the most respected professors in the country as well, in terms of the art and design field.

She became what she’s today because of her hard work for the past years. She did it to provide all the needs for her daughter and without realizing it, she achieved what most people wanted to achieve. She achieved what she never thought she could.

“Do we have the lists of the possible guest lecturers for the first half of the year, Miss Adelaidine?” “I believe that Miss Erickson is in charge of that matter, Sir.”

Miss Erickson then stood up and handed the head of the faculty the list of names she’s been researching out from the alumni list. Then, the copies were sent as links to everyone’s email in which all of the lecturers started to skim the names. Her heart stopped when Fransesca saw the name of the man she’s been avoiding to discuss, meet, or remind of.

“In my opinion, Mr Clayton Nicholas Kingsley should be the first to be announced and invited. His popularity in the architecture business field became super well-known these days across the United States and I’ve confirmed the news of his return to Singapore along with his wife, who’s also a successful businesswoman, though not an alumni of this university. I believe that inviting him would attract more students.” Erickson stated in front of everyone.

Soon, not only Fransesca’s smile that was seen dropped from her face, but the other three; Naira, Estelle, and Rachel. They realized the professor’s sudden facial expression change when they also saw and heard the name being mentioned in the room. It was inevitable, in terms of professionality of work. And they knew how hard Fransesca tried to stay calm and okay in this kind of situation she never expected to be in.

“He also taught students back in the days at Nanyang Technological University. I believe he's been your lecturer in the past, Miss Adelaidine?” asked the old man, in which Fransesca awkwardly nodded to. “Yes, Sir. He’s my lecturer, along with three other lecturers here. With all of his achievements past and present, I think it’s wise to invite the man as a guest lecture here. It would be a delight for us to have him around and for the students as well.” Fransesca replied.

When nobody noticed, she lowered her head and sighed while turning off the microphone in front of her. Not wanting anyone to hear what she just did. It was hard for her to hear this name. He realized, no matter how hard she tried to avoid him, having him in the same small country would be a hard one as well. The social circle and the profession they were in, it’s impossible. The similarities they both were in became the disaster itself.

“Miss Adelaidine, are you okay?”

The lass quickly changed her sitting position and smiled at the head of the faculty. “Yes, I’m okay. Sorry, Sir.” she replied quickly after turning her microphone on again. “You look pale. If you feel unwell,  we can postpone the meeting or send you the summary of today’s meeting?” he proposed, in which Fransesca shook her head as a reply.

“No, thank you. I’m okay. Let’s proceed to the next discussion of the other candidates for the guest lecturers.” Fransesca flashed a smile on her face to every lecturer in the room, trying to reassure them that she’s okay and nothing should be worried about her.

“So, you’re in with Clayton Nicholas Kingsley as the guest lecturer?” “He’s more than qualified to be chosen. Yes, Sir.”

Though her heart wanted to say no, she couldn’t bring herself to say it. Fransesca knew that she shouldn’t mix her personal problems with work and if it’s the only way, then so be it. Nothing that she can do over this matter.

The next thing they did was to screen and discuss the other names on the list. Whether they’re eligible and capable of being a guest lecturer or not for their regular agenda. It wasn’t easy, but Fransesca did her best to stay calm and okay for the rest of the meeting; before she was found breaking down in tears back in the restroom by her three friends, soon after the meeting ended.

The heart never lies, indeed.

END OF GUEST LECTURER.

Lou Sullivan (1951-1991) was an American author and activist. In 1986, he founded FTM International an organization for trans men to help access resources and create a community. He had an immense contribution to the ftm community in the US.

Jamison Green (1948-) is an American activist, author, and educator. He has been advocating for better legal and medical policies for trans people since the 1980s. After Lou Sullivan passed away, Green took over writing the FTM International Newsletter. He wrote the book Becoming a Visible Man, about his own transition and about the shared experiences trans men in society.

Rupert Raj (1952-) is a Canadian activist and author, who has been active since the 70s. He is the founder of various trans rights publications and organizations, such as the Foundation for the Advancement of Canadian Transsexuals, the Metamorphosis Medical Research Foundation, Gender Worker, and the FTM Peer-Support Group.

Max Wolf Valerio (1957-) is a Native American poet, writer, musician, actor and activist. He transitioned in 1989, and in 2006 published The Testosterone Files, a memoir about his transition and experiences as a trans man.

Pepe Julian Onziema (1980-) is a Ugandan LGBT rights and human rights activist. He has campaigned against homophobic laws and coordinated pride parades. In 2013, he received the David Kato Vision and Voice Award, and was chosen as Stonewall's Hero of the Year in 2014.
