The soothing crack of twigs beneath his paws was the only thing keeping Yewberry from losing his mind. He had no idea what he was hoping to accomplish, storming through the spruce valley like a furious boar. Realistically, Yewberry knew he had probably scared off every piece of prey for at least a kilometer, even though a solo hunting trip had been the lie he'd concocted for his clanmates.

Evidently, that lie had not been good enough for Ivybounce. With a frustrated sigh, Yewberry whirled around, hissing, "I said I wanted to be alone right now, Ivy!" Immediately, he regretted his outburst. Both because Ivybounce wasn't the cat that truly deserved his anger, and because it was Brambletuft who stood several foxlengths behind him, not his sister.

"I was just-just," Brambletuft stammered before taking a deep, calming breath. "I was just out hunting, which is kind of hard to do with you making such a racket."

"Sorry," Yewberry muttered, forcing his fur to lie flat. "I didn't mean to snap at you." Brambletuft's father had died only a few moons ago, too. She probably needed soothing words, not the barely contained fury of some stupid tom. I'm such a mousebrain, Yewberry thought bitterly.

"It's okay." Brambletuft shifted uncomfortably. "I'll go hunt somewhere else."

"You don't have to do that."

"I think I have to." Brambletuft was only just turning to leave when a distance yipping caused Yewberry's pelt to puff up to twice its usual size.

Dogs. "Run!" Yewberry shrieked, feeling a cloud of terror engulf him. I'm going to die, just like Grassroot. Without thinking, he had already begun launching himself up the nearest tree, pads being torn open from the rough bark. It was only when he'd made it to one of the tree's upmost branches that Yewberry paused to think. The yipping had stopped. Had it ever really been there?

A moment later, Brambletuft appeared beside him, eyes wide. "Yewberry? Yewberry, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Yewberry muttered.

"I think that was a coyote. You can hear them during the day in early newleaf, sometimes."

"Oh." Yewberry stared at his paws, feeling a mixture of shame and frustration. "You can go back down. I'm going to stay up here for a few minutes."

"Actually," Brambletuft grimaced. "We're, um, pretty far up. I don't know if I can climb back down."

Yewberry blinked. Shit. She was right. "Why don't we both just wait here, then? Until. . ." Until what?

"We can wait till a patrol passes by," Brambletuft suggested. "There should be someone who can help us both get down."

"That could take hours!"

"I don't mind."

Yewberry glanced at Brambletuft. She was avoiding his gaze. "Okay."

"Okay?"

"Yeah."

...

"Do you ever miss Otterslip?" Brambletuft and Yewberry were on camp guard duty. It was a little after midday, and neither cat had said much up until this point.

"Of course not. Otterslip is a murderer," Yewberry replied harshly, feeling an uncomfortable prickling in his chest. Don't think about it, he warned himself.

"Oh. Sorry."

"Don't apologize."

"Sor-" Brambletuft blinked. "Ah."

"Why'd you ask?"

"I was thinking about my dad," Brambletuft replied softly. "I miss him a lot. I was just wondering if it's any different, since Otterslip is. . . I don't know, it was a dumb question."

"It wasn't." Yewberry scooted a bit closer to Brambletuft, lowering his voice as if admitting something forbidden to any set of ears but Brambletuft's. "I do miss my da--Otterslip. I miss Otterslip. I miss who I thought he was, I think." Feeling as though he'd said too much, Yewberry quickly asked, "Do you, um, want to talk about Henryclaw?"

"Sure." Yewberry shot Brambletuft an uncertain glance, worried he was passing some unspoken boundary. Rather than looking afronted, Brambletuft only appeared somewhat vacant.

"If you don't want to. . . "

"No, I think talking about him might help."

"All right. I'll listen."

...

"What is it?" Yewberry was inspecting the circular object Brambletuft had presented him with moments before.

"I'm not sure. I found it while I was out walking with Poppyfeather."

"It tastes weird."

"I don't think you're supposed to eat it."

"I wasn't-" Yewberry paused, realizing that Brambletuft had been joking. He let out a startled laugh.

"Do you like it?" Brambletuft was fidgeting slightly.

"Yeah." When Brambletuft didn't have much of a reaction, Yewberry continued, "I really like it. I'm going to put it in my nest." He hated the way his words sounded artificial.

"It might be a bit uncomfortable if you roll on top of it during the night." Brambletuft chuckled. Her laughter made Yewberry feel unusually warm. He was half tempted to say something stupid like, then my first thought waking up will be of you.

Instead, he only hummed, "Oh well. There are worse things to wake up to."

...

"Share?" Yewberry hated the way his voice cracked.

"Well, only if you want to." Brambletuft visibly deflated, a look of mortification passing her face.

"No, I mean--sure." Yewberry tentatively slid into Brambletuft's nest, the turkey feathers he'd gathered for her tickling his stomach as he did so. Yewberry wished he'd have chosen a better gift. Brambletuft's fur was so thick she likely didn't even need the extra warmth in her nest.

"So this is," Brambletuft mumbled, "cozy."

"Yeah." Yewberry was pointedly staring at some invisible speck in the den's corner. He could feel Brambletuft's fur brushing against his own. He almost hoped some cat would burst into the den and interupt this moment. Another selfish part of him wished to remain nestled beside Brambletuft for hours.

"Thanks."

"What?"

"For the feathers."

"Oh. Yeah. It's nothing."

"Nothing." Brambletuft shifted slightly, causing a few feathers to fall out of the nest. "Right."

"Right."

They didn't say much else.

...

"Can I tell you a secret?" Brambletuft's voice was hushed, as if afraid some cat would walk by and overhear.

"Of course." Yewberry's brows furrowed in concern. He was grateful to be a cat Brambletuft thought she could confide in, yet at the same time he couldn't help but worry. What sort of comfort would he be able to offer? He was about as prickly as a cactus.

"Sometimes, I feel so angry I just want to scream."

Yewberry blinked. He wasn't sure what he was expecting, but that certainly wasn't it. "What do you have to be angry about? Wait, no, that came out wrong. I mean, why don't you just. . . scream?"

"I wasn't being literal about the screaming part," Brambletuft replied.

"It might be helpful."

"Just. . . yelling?"

"Yeah."

"I guess I could try it."

"Go for it."

"Thanks, Berry."

If Yewberry's heart fluttered at being called 'Berry,' he chose to ignore it.

...

"You like her, don't you?" Ivybounce practically squealed.

"Shut up!" Yewberry hissed quietly. "Maybe. I don't know!"

"You should tell her," Ivybounce insisted.

"What if she rejects me?" Yewberry fretted, beginning to pace. "I'll never be able to look her in the eye ever again."

"Look, you didn't hear this from me, but I heard from Salmonskip who heard from Flyspots who heard from Poppyfeather that Brambletuft has a crush on you."

"Well, all of you should stay out of her business," Yewberry snapped, tail beginning to lash in vexation.

"See?" Ivybounce purred. "You love her!"

"I'm going for a walk," Yewberry huffed, stalking away. He could feel Ivybounce's delighted gaze on his back as he went, doing nothing to cool his nerves.

"Let me know how it goes!"

"Stop."

...

"Yewberry?" Poppyfeather rose a brow skepitcally.

"He's nice to me," Brambletuft murmured.

"If he makes you happy, then he makes me happy too."

"Do you think I should. . . ask him to be my mate?"

"If you really think he's right for you, then you should go for it." Poppyfeather pauses. "And if he does anything stupid, I'll claws his whiskers off."

"Please don't." Brambletuft cringed.

"No promises."

"I love you, Poppy."

"I love you too, Brambles."

...

"I'm happy for you, hon'," Brambletuft purred softly, leaning forward to quickly lap at Cinderstone's head. The she-cat pulled back, rolling her eyes.

"Yeah, well, it was a matter of time before she asked me out. She was being really dumb about it, too."

"If Russetflare ever hurts you. . . " Yewberry grumbled.

"She won't, Dad."

"She better not."

"I'm leaving now. Don't be weird." Cinderstone stalked off, heading towards as ecstatic looking Russetflare. Yewberry muttered something under his breath.

"Look how in love they are, Berry," Brambletuft's entire demeanor had become as soft as down-fluff.

"I don't know. Cinderstone looks annoyed."

Ignoring him, Brambletuft asked, "Do you know how I can tell Cinderstone really loves Russetflare?"

"Not really."

"She looks at Russetflare the same way you look at me."

"She does?" Yewberry shuffled his paws, feeling oddly flustered. "In that case, I'm glad Russetflare did the confessing rather than Cinderstone. I would hate to see her embarass herself like I did."

"You didn't embarass yourself!" Brambletuft protested.

"I blurted 'I'm in love with you' and then nearly faceplanted into a tree."

"It was endearing."

"Ugh," Yewberry huffed, but his mood lightened considerably when Brambletuft wrapped her tail around his flank, resting his chin atop his head.

"I'm glad Cinderstone and Ramstep have grown up happy."

"Me too." After a pause: "I'm cold." It was an excuse to have Brambletuft scoot even closer to him, and it worked every time.

Yewberry found that even with the delighted glances Ivybounce kept sneaking him, he didn't mind so long as Brambletuft would always stay by his side.

-🐉 (i feel very uncertain about my characterize of these two, so let me know if they seemed accurate! will be working on something for maplestar next. i wasn't sure where to start for yewberry, so i just did some brambleyew moments bc they're cute)

DRAGON ANON. i am holding you like a squeaky toy . this is so fucking good its unREAL. i actually teared up reading this bit, especially the part where Bramble rested her chin on top of Yew's head and he said he was cold as an excuse to get her closer to him. canon behavior.

#ONE OF THESE DAYS ILL FINISH MY BRAMBLEYEW FIC #but until then. yours <33333 #fallenasks #fallenfic #dragon anon

On WIP Wednesday I'm challenging myself with this bit to maybe finish the story - it's been written out in my head for months, but it doesn't translate to pixels. Jeff is really trying in this one, but it ain't easy. Scott gets in a lot of trouble.

ANYTHING HE COULD EVER DO WRONG (Bit 1)

Jeff could maybe remember why it seemed like a good idea at the spur of the moment. Lord Hugh Creighton-Ward had unexpectedly arrived accompanied by his daughter on a visit to Tracy Headquarters in NYC. A courtesy visit on paper, it was to be a trial run of Brains' newest development - the heavily augmented, armored state-of-the-art limo-jet FAB0. Besides, the two men had a lot to discuss on a different project Jeff had in the works, that was to change everything.

As it was summer break, Jeff had Scott with him for an impromptu internship at the office (and a bit of bonding time, as Jeff Tracy was in so many words scolded by his mother, who stayed behind on the farm with the rest of the boys). Scott was to shadow Jeff in meetings and to get to know the grassroots workings of different departments. In whatever free time was left the boy was taking extra credit courses over the summer, fully intent to graduate early. So Lord Hugh's visit with his girl formulated an obvious easy plan - have the adults talk shop, and have Scott be a cordial host and show Penelope around the Tracy Towers. Penelope, about John's age, prim and precocious, was already every inch a lady. And if Scott's disarming smile and roguish demeanor was a bit of a bane of feeble hearts among the co-ed interns and younger assisstants, Jeff tried to chalk it up to the boy's blooming people skills for his own peace of mind. It was good to see his son smile again, at least. All in all, what could possibly go wrong?

Well... A LOT it turned out, as Jeff was looking at a smoking pile of pink-tinted cahelium and chrome in mind-spinning horror. Nobody knew how the kids managed to sneak away from the Creighton-Ward driver/bodyguard - Parker - hotwire the controls and take the prototype FAB0 for a spin in the air. Well, Jeff maybe had a vague idea of the Actual British Princess and the fifteen year old Han Solo wannabe situation possibly going on, but that was the furthest on the list of his concerns at the moment. Penny was conscious and for the most part appeared unscathed, when a blanched Parker and Lord Hugh helped her out, but Jeff could see the brown locks slumped on the safety cushion at the wheel and a trickle of blood down his son's face. Scott was unmoving. And Jeff's mind blanked out on the spot.

It was a testament to Brains' engineering genius and safety measures obsession, or the fact Scott grew up at flight controls in his father's lap and was naturally predisposed to fly anything, or maybe Jeff had used up all his lifelong limit of tragedy and loss - the kids were, indeed, alright. Relatively so. Penelope was shaken and more afraid for getting Scott in trouble, it appeared. Admittedly, it was her idea. Or maybe a dare. Scott got a broken wrist and now sported a bright blue cast, and a gush on the forehead that needed stitches. And a vehement, if admirable, insistence to take the fall for the lady.

Jeff wasn't particularly proud of the way he handled it - there might have been yelling, a grounding for the rest of the year, a confiscated phone, no TV or movies, or games privileges, and a strict prohibition to use the computer or tablet for anything other than schoolwork, a crisp "Yes, sir" and possibly a slammed door at the upper level of their Tracy Tower penthouse.

To his credit Jeff had to say that a sight of a son, unconscious amidst the metal debris, covered in soot and blood, was to haunt his sleeping and wakeful hours for many, many years to come, liberally transforming the former into the latter. It was unable to rest a wink and needing a stiffer insentive than an Advil, that Jeff staggered down from the master bedroom to the sitting area, nearly stumbling in the dark over something soft, warm and slumped against the wall on the stairs. The ball of tousled curls and blue pajamas keened painfully in his eldest voice. Scotty!

#thunderbirds are go #scott tracy #scott tracy needs a hug #scott tracy needs his dad #jeff tracy #jeff tracy needs a drink #methinks i have astronomy #thunderbirds 2015 #my fic #thunder wip #scott whump #lady penelope

The Spiritual Treasure of Kabir - Mystic Verses of the Bijak - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcasts

Kabir Says: "Just as a coded document shows the way to a hidden treasure, just so this Bijak shows the way to realize the soul. It teaches such instructive words to the soul, but there is seldom anyone to understand them." (Sakhi of Kabir)

Commentary by Dr. Jagessar Das: "Bijak means a coded document that leads to a hidden treasure. In this Bijak, Guru Kabir explains the path to that hidden treasure that is within, and not visible by the objective senses. He teaches everyone to give up cleverness and argumentation, and become humble and accept the Divine Lord dwelling within."

The term "Bijak" means treasure or treasure-map, in this case the treasure map of Guru Kabir. "Bij" means: the seed or essence. "Bijak" means treasure. The Bijak of Kabir is intended to be a treasure-map to the essence of reality: our soul and God.

In India the Bijak is the most popular sacred text containing the teachings of Guru Kabir, and as such is the main scripture for those who follow the Path of Kabir. Today we explore, "The Complete Bijak Of Kabir -- Guru Kabir's Mystical Teachings on God-Realization", by Dr. Jagessar Das, translating into English and commenting on the entire Bijak of Kabir. This is an impressive work, a true, grassroots "satsang template" of traditional Sant Mat, wonderful to have, featuring all eleven sections of the Bijak in one volume: the Ramainis, Shabdas, Sakhis, and other lesser-known sections.

"The Bijak tells of a treasure,

a treasure that doesn't show.

The word tells of a creature.

Only rare ones know." (Kabir)

From the Principals of Kabir Published in the Earlier Ahmad Shah Translation of, The Bijak:

"To believe in One Avagat, Satya Purush [One God]. His bhakti [devotion, love] should be practiced.

Have faith in the Master and in his teaching.

True Sadhus should be served.

Show mercy and love towards all Jivas [souls].

To abstain from all kinds of meats.

No visible object in this world should be worshiped.

Do not tell lies.

Do not steal.

Do not gamble.

Do not curse anyone.

Repeat Satya Nam.

Practice bhakti of Satya Purush [God] and teach about him.

Hindu, Muslim and any other sect can join Kabir’s religion.

Without the knowledge of Sar Shabd [the True Sound], no one can attain jiva mukti (liberation, salvation).

Abuse, deceit and jealousy are enemies of jiva mukti.

Humility is a great virtue.

Give thanks for the gift of the Sat Guru.

Without true love of God the practice of bhakti is fruitless.

To read the Sat Guru’s words is a great virtue.

One should know the Supreme Spirit."

In Divine Love (Bhakti), Light, and Sound, At the Feet of the Masters, Radhaswami,

James Bean

Signatures collected in an effort to recall Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price will be recounted by hand, the Alameda County Registrar of Voters (ROV) announced Thursday. Earlier this month, the ROV received 123,374 signatures in support of a petition to recall Price.

The ROV said it conducted a count of the signatures using a random sampling method authorized by state law. However, according to the ROV, the results of the random sampling are not sufficient to determine whether the signature threshold to call for a recall election has been met.

For a recall election to be held, a total of 73,195 signatures are required. The ROV said it will now begin a manual recount. $150K reward offered to find suspect who robbed USPS employee in Oakland

“State law requires the ROV to rely upon a manual count of the verified signatures in this situation because the random sampling technique did not produce a statistically confident determination of the sufficiency of the petition,” the ROV said. “A manual count of the verified signatures will ensure that everyone can be confident about the ROV’s determination of the sufficiency of the recall petition, and it is in the best interests of the proponents of the recall, the target of the recall and the public, generally, that the signatures are counted reliably.”

The group behind the effort to recall Price, Save Alameda For Everyone (SAFE), has accused the DA of failing “to hold perpetrators accountable.”

“DA Price is jeopardizing the safety of every resident and business in Alameda County, by failing to enforce the law, prosecute criminals, and keep violent offenders off our street,” the group has stated.

In a statement Friday, SAFE said it remained confident that more than the required number of signatures collected would be deemed legally valid by the ROV.

“We launched a grassroots effort to reclaim public safety on behalf of the people of Alameda County. We welcome the Registrar of Voters hand count of more than 120,000 signatures we submitted, ensuring the integrity of the election process,” said recall proponents Brenda Grisham and Carl Chan.

Price has accused the group of “potential widespread voter fraud in connection with signature gathering” related to the recall. Last month, Price’s supporters sent a letter to California Attorney General Rob Bonta asking his office to investigate the recall effort.

Brazil at a Turning Point: “Never Again Without Us!”

Brazil's Indigenous peoples take back the right to decide over their lives and territories under the Lula government

Hand in hand with Brazil’s new president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the great Indigenous leader Raoni Metuktire walked up the ramp of the Palácio do Planalto, the government’s headquarters, at Lula’s swearing-in ceremony on Sunday, January 1, 2023. Witnessing this memorable day brought profound joy to many of us Brazilians. Mixed feelings of relief, hope, and a sense of reparative justice took over Brasília, the country’s capital. For the first time, a government has put Indigenous peoples at the center, recognizing their ancestral right to decide over their lives and territories.

Through this new government, our work may be more impactful. It is going to change the possibilities and strategies available to us and this movement to avert the Amazon tipping point. We have renewed faith that over Lula’s term, we will be able to slow down the pace of Amazon destruction with so many allies in power. The work will continue to be challenging, and we will need to maintain the pressure and support Indigenous communities to hold Lula accountable for making good faith efforts on his promises. The Brazilian congress remains a difficult target for us, filled with agribusiness lobbyists and those more focused on profit from the Amazon than the value of its protection. Yet, our movement has proven powerful, and we will continue celebrating and amplifying the calls from the grassroots up. So far, we are excited about the possibilities, as Lula has taken swift action for the climate and the Amazon!

A Little Update On How Everyone Is Falling For WWE's Latest Smokescreen...

WARNING: This is gonna be talking about S-Assault & S-Trafficking scroll on if that will upset you too much!

So...Cody Rhodes won the Royal Rumble and the show ended with him telling Roman Reigns that he will see him at Wrestlemania. Seems pretty simple huh? But what you may not know is all the sex trafficking, and other allegations that have been brought up in a hefty lawsuit against Vince McMahon, Brock Lesnar and others. The document is available if you want to find it yourself but it's a HARD read. While the Vince stuff started to hit and starts trending Endeavour, the owners of the WWE, suddenly hired Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock for an executive role.

Turns out his position in WWE is Executive Distractor. He has admitted in the passed that there were times when they were gonna do Roman vs Rock but it didn't fit; the story didn't make sense. Which why after a year of building, and huge fan excitement after the Royal Rumble Cody Rhodes came out and handed his opportunity against Roman to the Rock out of the blue. Despite already saying he was gonna choose to fight Roman and the Rock literally came out of nowhere. People didn't like that and #WeWantCody started trending meanwhile Paul Levesque (HHH), Dwayne Johnson, and Cody Rhodes started saying stupid shit that just riles people up more, proving that their decision doesn't make sense, and make things trend more. When some news managed to push above the mire about how Brock Lesnar has been removed from some projects which is what WWE does when they've found the fire behind the proverbial smoke of allegations suddenly 'That thing we said was totally settled isn't now cause....diversion! Uh we mean cause...grassroots pressure! Imagine what happens if you can get #WEWatntCodyVsRoman trending?" I think the person I'm most disappointed in is Cody Rhodes. Sure Dwayne Johnson has proven he's trash but in his promos and interviews Cody kept talking about how he wasn't afraid to blaze new trails, work harder, longer, stand up for himself and what's right, what's good for da business etc etc etc. Well here he had a choice, do what he was told, actively help bury the voices of sexual assault and sex trafficking victims, many of which happened after the whole 'we cleaned up wrestling after #MeToo' bullshit the companies spouted at the time with the money Endeavour would give him for doing his part with Dwayne or be the person he always claims to be.

Fuck Cody Rhodes Fuck Dwayne Johnson Fuck Brock Lesnar Fuck Vince McMahon

Allen Iverson Executive Produces Soundtrack To Bad Things Happen In Philadelphia

youtube

Allen Iverson has executive-produced the soundtrack to Bad Things Happen In Philadelphia. Kyra Knox is the director of the feature that looks at gun violence in the city from the perspective of young people and community members. The film's title is a response to Donald Trump's quote, "Bad Things Happen In Philadelphia. Bad Things" from the first 2020 Presidential debate. Knox wanted to show how Philadelphia's people encourage their communities through grassroots work, challenging the stereotype of being criminals and victims. Garry Mills who mentors young people through his non-profit Shoot Basketballs NOT People, says, "Less Excuses. More Adjustments. This film is a reflection of the commitment to making dark inner-city communities bright again and displays my GOD-given gift to uplift and be a guardian angel to the youth.” The documentary has been shown at various film festivals and won multiple awards. "Legacy Re-Mix" is from the soundtrack, featuring rapper Da'T.R.U.T.H., Jill Scott, Greg Cox, and Adam Blackstone. Shanachie Records will release the soundtrack on December 1st. Bad Things Happen In Philadelphia will premiere at the Philadelphia Film Festival on October 28th. Fox Soul and Prime Video will have the national broadcast premiere on December 1st.

I'm surprised no news media picked up @ElonMusk tweeting "Did it 4 da lulz" early Saturday morning, which I saw before he deleted it.

[Twitter thread with responses, and record of deleted Tweet]

Looks like a case of saying the quiet part out loud. He tried to back out of buying Twitter, and now it seems like he's trying to burn it down so he can cut his losses.

Why is this manchild in charge of a billon dollar company, which doubles as a public utility like the grid for public and emergency info, news, government communications, grassroots organization and more?

#elon musk #twitter #elongated muskrat #i'm sorry I keep posting about this train wreck#but I've been on the Internet since literally 1989 before it was the complete Internet #So watching its evolution is a lifelong past time #and I'm also not above rubbernecking at a dumpster fire

WOL as a Recruitable NPC (DA-Style)

I fell down an FFXIV blog rabbit hole and found this delightful meme by @vaniccio and wanted to do it despite the fact that I only played one DA game (Origins, which I didn’t actually finish, eheh.) and have barely any knowledge of the Tarot, aside from vague descriptions of the higher arcana.

Anyway, thank you stranger! This definitely helped me in my continuing quest to get my imagination warmed up in time for FFXIVwrite2022!

- - - - - - - -

Name: Falerin Arcita

Alternate Name or Alias?: None

Race & Job: Hyur Midlander BRD/SMN (for all intents and purposes)

Nickname: Fal

Default Tarot Card: The Tower

Do they have the Echo? If so, how did they discover it?: He does not, although he does have other unique talents.

How/where does the WoL meet them?: Unbeknownst to the WoL, they actually met him on the night of the Bloody Banquet in Ul’Dah, where he was a chamber musician at a pre-party. He was very taken with the WoL, and after the unfortunate events of that night, helped sabotage efforts to find them and ‘bring them to justice.’ He didn’t believe for a second that the WoL was capable of such a crime and helped engineer a sort of grassroots “no snitches” pact, particularly among the Ala Mhigan refugees, and various other folks that had been aided by the WoL.

How are they recruited into the Scions?: Riol recruits him once the heat dies down after the banquet (sometime during HW) Officially, his abilities are information gathering and light espionage, and acting as a sort of self-appointed morale officer, keeping everyone’s spirits up with a nigh-endless supply of songs and stories. His arcane abilities (including a very unique and flexible aetherial familiar and the ability to use arcanima without a tome) also do not go unnoticed and probably clinched his membership in the eyes of the more studious Scions. This annoys him greatly as they are not what he wishes to be defined by.

Romanceable?: Yes (he’s a cis male and pansexual.)

Where they are in the open world:

(As a Scion): The Seventh Heaven in Mor Dhona.

(As a NPC): Rotates between the bars/inns of the big 3 city-states.

Default saying:

(As a Scion): Hello there, friend! *smiles and does the /welcome emote* Business or pleasure?

(As a NPC): We’ve met, haven’t we? I’d love to hear what you’ve been up to lately!

What do they typically do off-screen?: He’s usually out carousing at bars/performance venues or dropping in on friends unexpectedly (he curbs this to an extent if he becomes a Scion and will gladly go on information gathering/diplomacy missions... and combat missions as well, if its absolutely necessary.)

Things they Generally Approve of:

Sassing authority figures who abuse their power.

Aiding/protecting vulnerable people (particularly refugees)

Curiosity/an inquiring temperament.

Things they Generally Disapprove of:

Violence for its own sake.

Societies/governments that prioritize tradition/custom/tribalism over the happiness and well-being of people (any people.)

Pretentious/arrogant behavior.

Are they in a Grand Company? Which one?: He got his chocobo from the Order of the Twin Adder, but doesn’t swear fealty to them.

Friends:

Within the Scions: Thancred (he just knows there’s a bon vivant under that dadly exterior just dying to get out again), F’lhaminn (she lost a Hyuran child, he lost a Miqo’te mother, they comfort each other) Hoary Boulder (Gods know the Scions need more cheerful folk like him) Tataru (Most underrated Scion.) (He’d make it his business to befriend everyone else too though...)

Outside the Scions: Momodi (he enjoys trading lusty stories with her,)Tiamat (its a long story) Guydelot (fellow spoony, probably-not-heterosexual bard) Methuli (he makes and delivers leather to the Ehcatl Nine and they enjoy teasing each other.) A few of my friends’ PCs.

Small side mission:

When the WoL gains access to Sharlayan, they will be surprised to find Fal in the studium library, reading up on arcanima. If pressed about it, he’ll eventually reveal that he’s trying to find something he can talk about with his estranged-until-quite-recently father, who is a scholar living in Idyllshire. *insert some dialogue trees and travel back to Idyllshire here followed by more dialogue trees*

Ultimately it turns out Fal’s father has no desire to relate to his son in a loving parental fashion, and the reconciliation ultimately fails no matter what the WoL does. Fal acknowledges that he never thought it would work anyway, and loves (platonically or otherwise) the WoL all the more for trying.

The reward for this quest is a broken ruby statuette of a bee that considerably boosts Fal’s magical abilities.

Potential tarot card changes:

If accepted into the Scions: The Sun

If romanced by the WoL: The Magician

If not recruited/kept as an adventurer: The Hermit

Might as well tag some folks? @captainkurosolaire, @lettersnorth, @nutley-rp and @kich-rp?

I’ve been looking through the boho/bohemian, cottage core, etc tags and I think I figured out the answer to my question about why boho has been redubbed goblin/cottage/cabin core.

It seems like bohemian culture which used to be identified by artistic eccentrics has been…..Not appropriated but taken over by rich, (white) vegans who are sometimes classist, racist, rightwing douchebags.

Cause, apparently, the trad wife movement is like huge in the cottage core community. Which doesn’t surprise me cause a lot of hearth/haus witches seem to be into cottage core stuff and we all know TERFs and rightwing assholes have been infiltrating witchy and Pagan safe spaces for years now. It seemed to escalate in 2018 which is only a few years after witchcraft and Paganism went mainstream, and was reduced to a fashion trend😒

But the reason why I think this is because a lot of things that were once associated with bohemian (and/or hippy) culture like herbalism, alternative medicine, recreational drugs, artsy shit, vintage and antiques, nature — are now associated with cottage/goblin/cabin core. Like in the 1960s the bohemian movement was kinda redefined by hippies — who were the OG hipsters — into free love and experimental drugs. And that fell out of style very quickly because of the spread of AIDS/HIV and people like Jim Jones and Charles Manson.

They were both murderous cult leaders fyi. Ever hear the saying, “Keep drinking the Kool-Aid?” Its because of Jim Jones. He had this huge commune in S. America, I think, and ordered his followers to drink some kind of sacred Kool-Aid that, unbeknownst to his followers, was laced with cyanide and all kinds of other poisonous shit. Lots of people died.

If anyone is interested in Charles Manson, I recommend reading the true crime novel Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi.

Anyway, prior to the 1960s bohemian peeps were……Eccentric artists — people like Hans Christian Anderson or Leonardo da Vinci or Mary Shelley. Sometimes they were rich people. Sometimes they were straight up starving artists. Or they were just reclusive shut ins or even witches like Alister Crowley — who you should really not emulate. They collected antiques and made art and music and wrote books.

But pretty much anyone could identify or be labeled as bohemian.

Like, obviously, there was a racist aspect to it unfortunately but that started to change as culture and the arts evolved and more people realized that it was not okay to be a racist, anti-LGBT asshole. That’s how we got people like Jimmy Hendrix and Betty Davis — basically, bohemian was the grassroots of counter culture.

I could be completely wrong about that, but that’s just how I understand it.

And, personally, I feel that the term should be reclaimed by the weirdos. Just sayin’🤷🏻

Red Bull - From Bold Beginnings to Global Marketing Triumphs

The story of Red Bull, the iconic energy drink, began in 1984 with the collaboration of Austrian entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitz and Thai businessman Chaleo Yoovidhya. The journey has seen the brand grow from a local Austrian beverage to a global phenomenon.

In the early days, Red Bull faced the daunting challenge of entering a market saturated with sodas and other soft drinks. Mateschitz realized that competing directly with established players would be futile. Instead, he made a bold move by creating the "energy drink" category, allowing Red Bull to carve its niche and avoid comparison with soft drinks.

Red Bull's early marketing efforts were unconventional yet effective. With a limited budget for traditional advertising, the brand embraced guerilla-style tactics, offering free samples at college parties and bars. This grassroots approach laid the foundation for Red Bull's marketing success. The brand became known for its anti-branding and anti-marketing strategies, such as placing empty cans in clubs, which would become a hallmark of Red Bull's marketing identity.

Red Bull took a focused approach to product strategy. While competitors were introducing a plethora of flavors and packaging, Red Bull stuck to a single offering - an 8.4-ounce can with a unique cylindrical shape. This, coupled with a premium pricing strategy, helped Red Bull stand out in a crowded market.

The 2000s marked a shift in Red Bull's focus from sales to creating a lifestyle brand. Recognizing the potential for competitors to replicate its formula, the brand invested in an extraordinary marketing strategy. Red Bull relied on unconventional advertising techniques, such as the famous Leonardo da Vinci cartoon characters in their television ads. The message "Red Bull gives you wings" became synonymous with the brand.

Red Bull's foray into extreme sports further solidified its unique brand positioning. Partnering with the Sauber team in Formula One in 1995 and establishing its own Red Bull Racing team in 2005, the brand became associated with high-adrenaline sports. This trend continued with ventures into NASCAR and investments in football and ice hockey teams.

The brand's resilience was put to the test during the global financial crisis of 2007. Despite economic downturns, Red Bull not only weathered the storm but sold more in 2008 than ever before. This showcased the brand's ability to stimulate demand and drive sales even in challenging economic times.

Red Bull's marketing strategy has evolved over the years but remains unconventional and original. Centered on content creation, publicity stunts, event sponsorships, user-generated content, and influencer marketing, Red Bull's approach is a testament to its ability to adapt to change while staying true to its mission. Content creation has been a cornerstone of Red Bull's strategy. In addition to their wildly popular social media accounts with millions of followers, the brand's Red Bull Content Pool offers journalists an extensive database of free photos, news, and interviews to further facilitate marketing.

Publicity stunts reinforce the brand's "nothing is impossible" message. Events such as Felix Baumgartner's historic supersonic free fall and extreme sports stunts showcase Red Bull's commitment to pushing limits.

Creating and sponsoring extreme sports events has been a consistent strategy for Red Bull. From the Soapbox Race to the Ice Cross Championship, these events generate excitement and brand awareness.

User-generated content (UGC) is actively encouraged by Red Bull, fostering a community of "adrenaline junkies." Contests such as the Red Bull Illume Special Image Quest 2020 highlight the passion and dedication of photographers and videographers, adding to the brand's authentic content library.

Influencer marketing involves collaboration with world-renowned sports stars and athletes. This combination of micro, macro, and celebrity influencers helps Red Bull maintain a strong brand identity and connect with its target audience.

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia’s Republican Senate Caucus is suspending a GOP state senator who attacked them for opposing his plan to impeach Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for indicting former President Donald Trump.

The caucus announced Thursday that it was indefinitely suspending state Sen. Colton Moore of Trenton, who represents a district in Georgia’s northwest corner.

“Sen. Moore has a right to his opinion,” the caucus said in a statement. “However, during his advocacy for his ill-conceived proposal, Sen. Moore has knowingly misled people across Georgia and our nation, causing unnecessary tension and hostility, while putting his caucus colleagues and their families at risk of personal harm,” said the group, which has 32 of the Georgia Senate’s 56 members.

Moore attacked his colleagues as “Republicans in name only,” or RINOs.

“The Georgia RINOs responded to my call to fight back against the Trump witch hunts by acting like children and throwing me out of the caucus,” Moore wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “But I’m not going anywhere.”

It’s the latest display of a divide between Gov. Brian Kemp and many elected Republicans, on the one hand, and grassroots Trump backers who have captured control of Georgia’s Republican Party organization.

Kemp refused to endorse Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election and help him try to overturn his narrow loss in the state. Willis has charged Trump and 18 others, including the former state Republican Party chair, with crimes related to the effort. All have pleaded not guilty.

Moore will still be a member of the Senate and will still be a Republican, but may find it hard to pass legislation without support of the majority caucus. But he already often functioned like a party of one in the body, voting against measures that all other Republicans or all other senators supported.

Moore was the most prominent backer of a special session to impeach and remove Willis or defund her office, winning Trump’s endorsement. Kemp denounced the call as “some grifter scam” to raise campaign contributions for Moore, in a news conference that was unusually impassioned for the buttoned-up Kemp.

Kemp called the push “political theater that only inflames the emotions of the moment,” saying a special session “would ignore current Georgia law and directly interfere with the proceedings of a separate but equal branch of government.” Kemp said he didn’t think Willis had done anything to merit removal.

Moore launched a petition for lawmakers to call themselves into special session, requiring signatures by three-fifths of both houses. That would require some Democratic support because Republicans have a less than 60% majority in each chamber. And the Senate would have required a two-thirds vote to remove Willis after the House impeached her. Moore never got close to persuading fellow Republicans, much less Democrats, winning the signatures of one Republican House member and one other Republican senator.

However, Moore attacked some other state senators. After Republican state Sens. Bo Hatchett and Shelly Echols issued a joint statement criticizing Moore’s call, they said Moore targeted them for retaliation and they received threats.

The caucus claimed Moore violated internal rules and was suspended by Republican leaders after refusing to follow those rules. The caucus claimed Moore was not being retaliated against for “his wrongheaded policy position.”

Some other Georgia Republicans have freely attacked Willis, including U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“Fani Willis should be ashamed of herself and she’s going to lose her job. We’ll make sure of that,” Greene told reporters outside the Fulton County Jail, shortly before Trump arrived by motorcade to submit to booking and a mug shot.

Despite Moore getting the boot, some Republican state senators are backing a plan to seek Willis’ removal by a new state prosecutorial oversight commission. The Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission is supposed to begin work sometime after Oct. 1, when the state Supreme Court approves its rules. The body was created with the aim of disciplining or removing wayward prosecutors.

Some district attorneys, not including Willis, are already suing to overturn the law, saying it improperly infringes on their authority.

Kemp, while criticizing the timing of the Trump indictment, has said he hasn’t seen any evidence that the commission should discipline or remove Willis.
