hey i know that i dont talk about it a lot on here but this blog is pro masking. official govt and world organizations ending the health emergency doesn't mean covid is over. long term organ damage happens w every infection. the chances of long covid increase w each infection. we are facing an ever evolving infectious disease with no institutional protection. respirators protect you and others, please mask up!
you can request free n95 masks from project n95 here:
all we have is each other, mask up and take care of your community

The blind woman and the leper
•••••••
"Lady Suri?"
At the sound of his voice she smiled, stopped caressing the flowers and turned around with her cane in hand.
" Your Majesty, I have been waiting for you," commented the redhead.
The last time they saw each other was during a banquet organized by Sibylla, Baldwin's sister. Suri felt it was not the right time to confess, so she asked him to meet her two days later in her personal garden before sunset. He agreed.
"That's right, what did he want to talk to me about," Baldwin IV asked.
She was a little nervous, she had never confessed her love to a man before, she kept making nervous movements with her fingers and Baldwin noticed that.
"You know that we have known each other since we were children," declared the redhead, smiling as she remembered the first time they met, at a banquet when they were both eight and nine years old. "I have always felt a great appreciation, affection and respect for you. You supported me during my mother's death, and I am very grateful for that. But now that affection has evolved, it is no longer just affection..... It is also love. Baldwin, I love you."
His sky blue eyes looked different, there was fear and insecurity thanks to the young woman's words, but she couldn't see it.
"Suri, I think you were confused. You wouldn't say that if you really saw me. I'm a leper, I have a short time to live, I won't live past thirty. You couldn't be with a person like me," he spoke slowly, trying to appear calm, but he was anything but calm.
"Of course I could."
"No" he spoke firmly. "You say that because you can't see me, otherwise you'd be frightened to see my face deformed by leprosy."
She let out a little laugh, and moved closer to him, Baldwin backed away but Suri kept moving forward until she touched his mask with both hands, and caressed it as if she was touching him without it.
"That's impossible, Baldwin," the young woman murmured. "If I could see, I would not care what you look like, to me you will always be the bravest and most beautiful man in all Jerusalem."
Under his mask his face and gaze softened, looking at her with affection. He had known her since she was a child, he knew what she said was true. He pulled her to him, wrapping her in a hug. Suri was surprised, but then she reciprocated and a smile broke out on her face.
"I love you too, Suri."

💌I am writing a semi-slow-burn romance, where characters A & B never met each other except briefly at one point where B fell for A, like love at first sight.
Up until now, they know about each other only through rumours.
Now they are going to meet officially but I don't know how to show their relationship starting/growing without it seeming too fast and unnatural.
What do you suggest?💌
Slow burn romance allows for a gradual, organic development of feelings. They often mirror real-life relationships, where emotions and attraction develop over time, create intense anticipation, and build emotional connections with readers.
Slow burns allow for in-depth exploration of characters’ emotions, insecurities, and personal growth. As readers invest in the characters’ journeys, the eventual romantic payoff becomes more rewarding. Let’s look at how to write characters in a slow burn romance novel.
How do they behave?
They may start off as friends or acquaintances before realizing their deeper feelings.
They might be hesitant to express their emotions openly, leading to moments of internal conflict.
Their actions towards each other should be filled with subtle hints and gestures.
They may experience jealousy or possessiveness towards one another.
They might engage in playful banter and teasing as a way to mask their true feelings.
How do they interact?
They may have frequent encounters that gradually increase in intensity.
They might have deep conversations that reveal their fears and vulnerabilities.
They could have intimate moments that create a strong emotional connection.
They might share secrets and confide in each other more than others.
Their interactions should be filled with anticipation and unresolved sexual tension.
Describe their body language
Lingering touches, or accidental brushing against skin.
Frequently locking eyes across a room.
Nervous gestures, like biting their lips or fidgeting.
Leaning in and unconsciously seeking proximity.
Become more relaxed and comfortable over time.
Mimicking each other’s gestures or body language
Blushing or flushed cheeks
Describe their attitude
They may have a love-hate relationship, alternating between attraction and frustration.
Their attitude might evolve from indifference to fascination and infatuation.
They might initially resist their feelings, denying the growing connection.
They can have moments of self-doubt and a fear of rejection.
Their attitude should gradually shift towards acceptance and vulnerability.
Common slow burn romance tropes
Friends-to-Lovers: The characters start as friends, and their relationship gradually develops into a romantic one.
Enemies-to-Lovers: The characters initially dislike or have conflicts with each other, but over time, their feelings transform into love.
Forbidden Love: The characters face obstacles or societal boundaries that prevent them from being together.
Second Chance Romance: The characters have a history together, and their paths cross again, giving them a chance to rekindle their feelings.
Opposites Attract: The characters have contrasting personalities or backgrounds, leading to initial friction but eventually finding common ground.
Workplace Romance: The characters work together and initially keep their feelings hidden due to professional boundaries.
Positive story outcomes
In positive story outcomes of a slow burn romance, the characters finally confess their love for each other, leading to a happily ever after. Their relationship deepens, nurturing a strong and lasting bond. Together, they overcome obstacles, demonstrating the true strength of their connection. The slow burn romance sparks personal growth and self-discovery for the characters, as they learn to navigate their emotions and overcome their fears. Through patience and perseverance, the story highlights the importance of cherishing and fighting for love.
Negative story outcomes
While slow burn romances often have positive outcomes, negative story outcomes aren’t unheard of. In these scenarios, the characters may realise their feelings too late, missing out on a chance for true love. Their relationship can become strained due to misunderstandings and lack of communication, leading to a sense of longing and regret. One of the characters may choose to move on, leaving the other heartbroken. The slow burn romance becomes a source of pain and unrequited love, exploring the bittersweet nature of their connection. These negative outcomes serve to evoke a deeper emotional impact and highlight the importance of timing, communication, and seizing opportunities in matters of the heart.

Welcome Back to the Collection of Athens Writes
Tumblr media
Hi! I'm Athens/Andy (they/them). I am a somewhat old yet somewhat new face on writeblr. I'm currently a second year student at a university in the deep south, studying history and anthropology in order to become a museum curator. Most of my free time is spent writing, which is the driving force behind this blog. Writing has become the love of my life over the past ten years.
AthensWrites has had two prior iterations. All I posted here in the previous iteration was privated, including Not Your Typical Fairytale. Don't fear, NYTF will make a glorious return ;)
With all that said, welcome back to the odd writings of Athens, and I hope you enjoy your stay. Below the cut, I've detailed some of my current projects, which range from Sci-Fi (my favorite) to thrillers to fantasy to realistic fiction. I've highlighted key content warnings and tags for each, just to keep you aware. If you'd like to hop on a tag list for any of these stories, please let me know! Some of them I post more frequently than others. I am also very tag list and tag game friendly so PLEASE tag me in stuff. If you need other people to tag in a writeblr tag game, look no further than this post!
The collection is constantly updating and evolving, so stay tuned!
Not Your Typical Fairytale (#nytf)
Although originally planned as a standalone novel, NYTF has now expanded into three separate books: Knight of Dawn, Queen of Noon, and King of Dusk. There's an additional collection of short stories/untold stories planned as well, tentatively titled Pawn of Midnight.
Content warning: gore, death, violence, graphic scientific experimentation, derealization, paranoia, drug use and abuse, alcohol use, child abuse (physical, verbal), relationship abuse (verbal, manipulation), sex (consensual) Related tags: nytf, Piers Hall, Grady Yensey, Rene Dubois, ATLZoS
Knight of Dawn
Piers Hall is the newly crowned monarch of the post-apocalyptic State of Georgia, after their mother, Queen Adele, was declared unfit to rule. Despite meaning well, they find themself unprepared for the role, especially as political rivals, like North Carolina’s President René Dubois and Councilmember Shanna Miles, close in on their tail, seemingly threatening to topple their rule. When various palace staff start to show where their real loyalties, it seems like Grady Yensey, Commander of the Royal Guard and their closest friend, is the only one they can trust. Piers and Grady must scramble to uncover the truth behind Queen Adele’s questionable associates, Piers’ missing past, and President Dubois’ shady activities
International Alliance of Superhumans (#iash)
Superhumans have existed as long as we have, normal people who suddenly develop seemingly magical powers overnight. That’s why the International Alliance of Superhumans was founded in 1945, to help control these superhumans to better humanity. Now, the Alliance's ideals and control is falling apart, as the Underground and the Union threaten its weakening rule over the superhuman community. Fireball is the golden hero of the Alliance , the face of the organization, the beloved apprentice of the Chief Administrator after the death of the one and only GoldenSon. He’s brave, courageous, kind, and always up to take a photo with the kiddos, accompanied by his partner, NightSong. He’s taken down villains from Quantum Rift (the killer of GoldenSon) to Árbol Terror, and now has his eyes set on taking down Hueso Blanco and Morpheus Nox before they can tear a hole in reality. Brigid Roberts is the face behind the mask of Fireball. They’re the only child of the now-deceased Nikki Roberts and find have found themself seeking revenge for Nikki’s death…while also trying to manage this superhero business and their senior year of high school. It doesn’t help that the administration of Wesmoreland keeps threatening to expel them for their aggressive behavior. Hueso Blanco is the epitome of an ex-Alliance villain, a well beloved hero fallen from grace, after Árbol Terror and Quantum Rift convinced him to join the Underground. Now with both of his former allies dead, he leads the Underground, and with the help of Morpheus Nox (an up and coming villain with a terrifying similarity to Quantum Rift) he plans to tear a hole in our reality, ripping out world apart. Martin Garcia-Flores is the sole caretaker of his younger brother, Elias, and would do anything to protect him. After the Alliance's violent threats, he left, in order to protect what was left. He lost friends and family and his love to the Alliance's corrupted side, and now works tirelessly to bring it to his knees…while also trying to work three separate jobs to keep himself and Elias afloat. When fate brings Brigid and Martin face to face, maskless and vulnerable, the two come to understand they may not be as different as they’d both previously thought. Content Warning: violence, gore, death, family abuse (physical, verbal), alcohol (use) Related Tags: IASH, superhumans, Brigid Roberts, Martin GF, Hueso Blanco, Fireball
Space Clue/The Murder of Fredrik Lexand (#tmfl)
In 2183, humans abandoned earth as her ecosystems collapsed and became uninhabitable. Now, the remnants of humanity live in the Lexand Starfleet, a group of 16 name-brand ships, sailing towards deep space. In control of it all is Fredrik Lexand, the 17th great grandson of the original founder of Lexand StarFleet. From his living pod at the head of StarSeeker Alpha, he controls everything and anything that happens to humanity, from their food to their spouses to where the remnants of humanity will travel to. The weight of the world on one man’s shoulders (who are we kidding, of course he has lackeys who do all the menial work), worshipped as a god. Until the morning he is found brutally dismembered, mangled parts of his body strewn all over his office. Humanity freezes, watching intently, as the Lexand Pod is locked down by Detective Scoud Tambry, swearing to uncover the killer, and avenge the Corporate god-king. Content Warning: Violence, gore Related Tags: tmfl, space clue, Triple A Siblings, Scoud Tambry

Im Cooking lore
Namely, headcanons about batflies, owls, and northern vultures
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Batflies are weird bug/bat/bird things. They have both an endoskeleton and exoskeleton (though their bones are lightweight and fragile). They only have four legs and 2 wings (earth insects have 6 legs and 4 wings, by default).
Batflies are important pollinators! They can also be pests, since they can chew into walls to build their burrows (whose entrances are protected by spiky structures).
Their mouthparts are weird - they have a sort of split beak, and the upper/lower portions can move apart. They also have small teeth in their mouths.
On the right is a concept for giant mothflies, a species found in the northern regions. They're larger, fluffier, and have nocturnal habits.
Both of these species are considered primal fauna, though their genomes have been contaminated by hybridizing with modified individuals. This is likely why they are able to chew through metal.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Owls are a creature i made! This is a rework of them.
They're distant relatives of batflies and are basically if bugs evolved into birds. Most of their exoskeleton has been reduced, with their mask being a remnant of it.
Owls are roughly slugcat-sized and are important to the ancients that once inhabited the northern regions. Owls were bred and trained for falconry. Their mask became a symbol of hunting; this symbol spread south along trade routes, and was incorporated into the design of both vulture species.
This is also a primal species.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then! Northern vultures! The story goes that the rough vulture concept was executed by two different groups of bio-engineers, resulting in two species of "vultures" that had similar behavior but very different anatomy. Northern vultures are heavily based on the genomes of owls.
Northern vultures have a similar head shape to real-life bearded vultures.
I'll have to figure out the situation with the machinery on the backs of northern vultures. Perhaps it's technically part of the exoskeleton, and is basically organic machinery? Also, expelling gas is less important for northern vultures than it is for southern/vanilla vultures, since n. vultures have wings that provide much more lift.
Just like with owls, losing their mask is a serious injury for northern vultures. It's literally part of their face! Of course vultures are upset when their mask gets taken!
Tumblr media
Finally, a comparative anatomy thing showing the differences in body segments between batflies, owls, and northern vultures. Limbs and wings aren't shown for visibility.
Like earth insects, these animals have 3 body segments: a head, thorax, and abdomen. In batflies, these segments are distinct, and the abdomen holds many of the internal organs.
In owls, the abdomen is reduced, so the thorax holds more organs. Owls also have one fewer limb pair. The trend seen in owls continues with vultures.
Note that the body segments are more defined here than they actually are. They also probably aren't as... strict?? As what insects have, so they could be divided into sub-segments that can move independently? I have no idea

flock of planetnids. Each one actually wasn't bullshitted, they all have a key design element or are pre-existing, pre-designed ones!
Frontmost one is this preexisting one, i just took off his helmet.
The one on the right of the front is actually the most accurate prototype since it's Comet's actual original unmasked design!
The one on the left facing the right is a planetnid that was designed after the creation of the steeldrakes in the hope that it would share their low mortality rate. It did, but it also didn't have a bunch of the key organs that was the whole point of the planetnids so it got scrapped
The one on the leftmost just barely poking out doesn't have a mask, that's its actual face! Scrapped due to looking too organic rather than the robotic animatronic appearance they're going for. Cruel.
So @artastic-friend suggested I make an AU where over 99% of planetnids didnt totally die and as i was desperately trying to imagine an au how that could work i went "aliens" last ditch possibility but then i started looking into it and now this is... actually probably the direction i'm going with this.
Lore/notes i had thought up:
Evolved from communal, social organisms that would spontaneously metamorphize due to traumatic stress/emotion than from pupa to an imago form. This would become more complex when intelligence began to develop more and this is where shapeshifting became a thing and became the basis of this species.
Part of the shapeshifting evolved because of selective mating. their ancestors were monsterfuckers - the freakier and weirder the things that you could turn into were, the more bitches you got
A mass extinction event that almost led to this planet being unable to sustain life ever again led to groups of comids literally playing god to ressurrect their planet - being solely responsible for kickstarting life again and leading to the creation of the modern comids and immobiles to pass on into their world. The ecosystems they made millions are still in motion today.
Comids (Comet planetnids) (transformative sophonts, however they have a cap on their size)
Immobiles (steeldrakes)(Non-transformative sophonts, are larger than Comid's max size and are meant to kinda. keep the comids in place a little and to pass on the image of their ancestors)
Planet's gravity is lower than it is on earth, contributed to the gargantuan sizes of the comids and steeldrakes
Comid/immobiles have ruled their planet for 82 million years, though their ancestors had been around for way longer before the extinction. It's actually rather fascinating because they still have cave paintings of their ancestors designing the world they live in. It is their most sacred relics because they have both historical and religious value.
Tumblr media
i think this is it. i think this is the nail in the coffin where i can no longer call this fnaf.
i can still call it music man, it's an au of an au of music man and the concept of music man came into this when comids/immobiles encountered humanity but its not fnaf anymore

Masks in the Sleep Token World
Masks are synonymous with existence in the Dreamscape. There really aren't too many hard and fast rules about them apart from a few things.
Your mask evolves with you as a person- Normally switching from one mask to another isn't a *big* deal, as long as only a few things change. Maybe the markings, colors, or materials change over time. See; Vessel's mask Evolution for an example of this.
Your mask will probably be made from materials you would have or work with in your daily life. Hunters adorn their masks with bone, farmers and leatherworkers put skins on their masks, ect.
Layfolk don't have specific masks- Only members of religious organizations and the royal family have specific masks that they can do very little to alter. This is symbolic with having devoted one's own personhood and sense of self to something greater. See; Vessel I's mask, and II, III, and IV's original masks.
The loss of a mask is the loss of personhood- Or rather, an ego-death of some sort. In skirmishes many soldiers would prefer the loss of their life over the loss of their mask. People who loose their masks are often ostracized for their bare face.
The gaining of a mask, by contrast, comes with a re-establishment of personhood, and self-identity.

I'm a 'Martin won't ever publish another ASOIAF book' truther but in addition to King Bran being profoundly idiotic, Martin has major structural issues that are now too 'big' to 'fix' imo. Namely, the ages of the characters are ridiculous and are all wrong for where their arcs need to go. The characters on the show were aged up and even the younger ones grew up on screen so Bran and Sansa and Arya were at least into late teens/adulthood at the end of the show - one is 13 and other is currently 11 and Bran is like, what, 8 in books? sksksksksk Just absolutely disastrous.
The characters should have been in their mid to late teens at the start of AGOT, at minimum. Especially because Martin essentially treated them, and has them act, like adults. I'm sorry, but I don't think that man has any understanding between the mental and physical developmental differences between, say, a 14 year old girl and a 17 year old girl. Every character appears and acts like they are anywhere from 3 to 5 years older than they are.
Also, the POV structure, while interesting, has also been disastrous in actually getting the story moving because certain characters have to be in certain places for things to happen while others are just sitting around killing time.
Hmmm, I don't really agree about the POV structure. It functioned fine for three books and offered compelling court drama, battles, magical elements and intriguing plot-twists. AGOT / ACOK / ASOS are pretty well paced and I've even seen someone making the case that the series could even have ended in that point and would have been one of the best fictional fantasy experiments. I found myself agreeing and disagreeing. I think the ASOS ending would have still distinguished ASOIAF from other fantasy series in its toppling of the good-guys-win-everything type of wrap-up, but it would be way less ambitious than what GRRM ended up pursuing.
The pacing problems came about with AFFC/ADWD. And I'm not one to talk here, because I'm an AFFC truther and it's always been my favourite of the series, so my two cents on this is that Dany's Slaver's Bay plotline is too damn long. Tyrion is also taking too damn long to get to her. It's a drag. In the book she is supposed to solve the Quaithe riddle,* escape Vaes Dothrak, get herself an army + navy, make the decision to leave Slaver's Bay AND sail to Westeros, so that in TWOW she can fight Young Gryff, face-off the Others, become a mask-off tyrant AND get deposed? It's a lot.
I honestly think he should just give up the 7 book compartmentation, admit defeat and just add another damn book to the series to get Dany to Westeros and fit in his fAegon plotline. It's not like he doesn't have the pages. No one's gonna care if there are 8 books instead of magic no 7. But my guess is that he's hung up over some decisions he's made in the past and kept trying to make the gargantuan plot fit inside this neat box he envisioned - 7 books, King Bran, Caesar!Jon etc. It would explain why he tried a time skip between ASOS and AFFC and had to scrap it - it would make more sense for the Stark children to be older. But he characterized himself as a gardener-style writing who doesn't plan everything in advance and lets the story grow organically. In that case, he should make allowances if the story grew in a direction he did not initially predict and make the required changes! Maybe King Bran made sense when he first wrote the initial three-book outline, but that was a long time ago & many other plot points changed.
My advice is to just stop trying to make the plot fit the previous designs, stay true to the way the characters evolved and respect the themes you've painstakingly developed over the course of nearly 30 years. Otherwise what's the point? If your original ending doesn't fit anymore, think of another ending ffs. The show is irrelevant at this point, so what if the endgame will be different? IDK, I'd be thinking that this is my life's work and I have every right to do it justice. Perhaps that's what he's thinking too and why it's taking him so long.
I agree that the ages of the characters are ridiculous, but if a time skip really, really can't fit anywhere, it's better to compromise on the age issue and leave off with a teen monarch than it would be to impose a surveillance state in Westeros as the solution with all-seeing, all-knowing Bran. That's a starkly dystopic ending, if you ask me.
Not to mention that it clashes directly with the end of magic - how is Bran supposed to be the Tree of Sauron if there's no magic anymore and everything goes back to normal? On what basis does he even get to be king at all if he's just a regular boy? How will he even survive being pulled out of the weirwood net if magic leaves the realm of men?
*“To go north, you must journey south. To reach the west, you must go east. To go forward you must go back, and to touch the light you must pass beneath the shadow.” JFC, if Dany has to get to Asshai, I will fucking scream.

Robyn ( Sakura) Morales
Tumblr media
SOOOOOO new design, meaning new personality hehe. But don’t worry nothing important is gonna change about Robyn’s personality, im just gonna make her a little emo
Here are the list of different/new things that are going to happen with Robyn
General information:
Firstly, no i am NEVER getting rid of the OG design for her because its way too iconic and i wish i were joking when i said that I did not made this cuz its just quite impossible that i have such talent 
Robyn is starting to change color. So the color palette for OG suit is red and only red, however for this one i am shifting to blue and indigo palette. The reason why I made an alternative persona is because I want to reflect Robyn’s change of character when it comes to allow herself to feel emotions and not let her ego in the way of it. 
After she broke up with Hobie and left spider society. She evolved and blue become her main color as it is just her mood now. She basically became numb to any emotion. 
Therefore she changes from red to blue/indigo depending on her emotions. (THIS IS AFTER SHE MAKES UP WITH HOBIE AND BECOMES STABLE)
Intense negative emotion: red fluorencent 
Negative mood: red
Neutral/Normal: Red
Neutral/in a good mood: Blue
Positive mood: blue
Intense positive emotions: indigo fluerencent
Hair:
Inspired by Eris the goddess of chaos and discord in Sinbad
Colors also change depending on mood
For the new design there is a distinction, in the OG suit her hair is plaint dark red, however in the new suit her hair is light indigo with red roots. Which shows that she is still herself inside but she needed to have a new breath of fresh air.
The reason why her hair is messy and badly cut is because I added a new power in which if she wants to activate her power in terms of like upgraded physicality and abilities. she can still swing, stick to walls and play w her pixie dust, but she wants to fuel more damage and strenght she’ll have to cut some hair. She doesnt need to cut a big section but still cutting one strand won’t be enough. Her hair is generally very long but she may use part of her hair and cut it for a long time and then go to another part. Some are very large and some are not because she’s very clumsy and impatient 
Suit:
Dark blue sections of her suit have melted more into her skin organs. Like a tattoo, they don’t look rough on her anymore, they kind of healed but they are blending in a skin in a way, so her marks aren’t as painful as before. She still wraps herself in bandages cuz she hates the way it looks still. 
The outline of the dark marks are just there cuz its cool -
Face mask:
Okay I know nothing in science cuz im stupid but her body has a sort of chemical reaction with her pixie dust. The outline shows up, pixie dust trails from her eyes. 
By the way she lost 4 of her eyes because now that she doesn’t feel as weak as before and has regained strenght, yes real spiders only need 2 eyes but they have many for the since of survival so…
The mask is also blending with her skin and looks like its about to eat u dry yes.

i dont want to violate the privacy of the covid cautious groups im in but man sometimes i really wish i could cross post to force people to face the tragedy and suffering everyone else in the world is conveniently ignoring. one user today mentioned during work they “burst into deep sobbing and talked about the genocide of Disabled people... I’m tired of being told to respect other people’s opinions not to mask. I don’t respect it. You’re committing passive genocide.” i really do think people have forgotten that a “personal preference” to not mask or test or to attend gatherings and then refuse to isolate is another day added onto the genocide of vulnerable people. another day that it isnt safe to go outside, another day of shutting down our entire lives so that you can live on OUR time. “well if disabled people are gonna just stay inside forever then im gonna do what i want!! LOL!!!” you are the reason we are stuck inside. you are the person keeping us inside. we are staying inside because otherwise you will kill us. you are killing us. you are killing us. you are killing us.
why should i deserve to die? because i lost a genetic lottery and ended up with a blood disorder? because i have a mental illness and so i’m inherently flawed? because i’ve already “wasted” so much of my life trying to survive?
you are suppressing disabled and vulnerable voices. you are barring us from the public sphere. we are being barred from taking certain jobs and therefore from maintaining positions of power in society. we are being ignored on a social, familial, communal, and federal level. our government brags that “we have the tools” and then immediately defunds them, makes them inaccessible, renders them useless by promoting conditions in which the virus can further mutate and spread. 
have you learned about xbb 1.16, arcturus? how the virus is evolving toward targeting the suppression of t-cells? have you talked to anyone with “long covid”, or new or preexisting pots, me/cfs, or other chronic fatigue or immune disorders? do you know that covid has proven over and over to do permanent organ damage to millions of people? and you are okay with this? if you flippantly go see someone, unmasked, while carrying covid and infect them, putting them at risk for lifelong disability, how can you live with yourself? when your previously abled friend now needs an inhaler, a litany of medications, a mobility aid, or has to shut down their entire life and live out of their bed, how can you go on knowing you and your apathy did that to them?
i lost the lottery before i was born, yet everyone who’s gone “back to normal” is choosing to play it every day. how much longer can you keep winning on someone else’s odds?

Everyman (Justin Robinson) "Ian Covey is a doppelganger. A mimic. A shapeshifter. He can replace anyone he wants by becoming a perfect copy; taking the victim’s face, his home, his family. His life. No longer a man, but a hungry void, Ian Covey is a monster. David Tirado is a massive, hideous colony organism, a gestalt entity. The sum of Covey’s discarded parts. A roiling, chaotic patchwork of vast and varied personalities, memories, and physical forms that used to be a man − many men − David Tirado is a monster. Sophie Tirado’s identity has been eroded by the tides of a long relationship, and now the man she gave herself up for has been stolen away and replaced by a mimic. Caught between the Doppelganger and the Gestalt Entity, she will try to save her husband, but there might be nothing left of him. Virtue has a veil, vice a mask, and evil a thousand faces."
The Double (Fyodor Dostoyevski) "In Saint Petersburg, Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin works as a titular councillor (rank 9 in the Table of Ranks established by Peter the Great[3]), a low-level bureaucrat struggling to succeed.
Golyadkin has a formative discussion with his physician, Doctor Rutenspitz, who fears for his sanity and tells him that his behaviour is dangerously antisocial. He prescribes "cheerful company" as the remedy. Golyadkin resolves to try this, and leaves the office. He proceeds to a birthday party for Klara Olsufyevna, the daughter of his office manager. He was uninvited, and a series of faux pas lead to his expulsion from the party. On his way home through a snowstorm, he encounters a man who looks exactly like him, his double. The following two thirds of the novel then deals with their evolving relationship.
At first, Golyadkin and his double are friends, but Golyadkin Jr. proceeds to attempt to take over Sr.'s life, and they become bitter enemies. Because Golyadkin Jr. has all the charm, unctuousness and social skills that Golyadkin Sr. lacks, he is very well-liked among the office colleagues. At the story's conclusion, Golyadkin Sr. begins to see many replicas of himself, has a psychotic break, and is dragged off to an asylum by Doctor Rutenspitz."

Devil doesn't bargin
Building on the tombstone idea. Weird formatting cause I'm on mobile lol.
Tw: injury blood
Tombstone sits at his desk, quietly working. Rain taps on his window, calming. His favorite sort of weather as it warps the light coming into his office, creating artistic shadows across the floor. He often received commentary from ill-meaning social elites that his office is rather plain. He preferred it this way. Peaceful organization that becomes an evolving beauty with the changing weather. It also happened to look quite nice in the dawn and cast in the lights of the setting sun. But rain highlights its best features, with elongated shadows and a gentle drumbeat that serves to drown out much of the city below.
His mind is narrowed in on one of the legitimate branches of his company, the side that dabbled in chemicals, and the side that he kept the closest eye on due to his own history. That is interrupted by a terrible crash as his reinforced window cracks and shatters. His eyes widen slightly at the sight of Shocker rolling across the floor, dragging glass and blood along with him. The Enforcer seems to be wrapped protectively around something, a something that dislodges from the cowboy's arms slightly and whacks the wall with a loud crack, leaving a dent. Is that?
After a beat of shock, Tombstone rises and steps closer to the second figure. It is. It is Spider-man, who is badly beaten with most of his mask damaged and torn away. Tombstone recognizes the face beneath the bare threads that remain. Peter Parker.
The child that had begged him for protection from Norman Osborn. Peter looks awful, bruises dark and blossoming across almost every inch of skin. Blood smeared everywhere. Montana had to have known. It would explain quite a bit about his behavior around Peter, like how he could love the kid so much and so clearly and not work to stop Peter from getting hurt. Though Tombstone finds that he does not wholly agree with the conclusion that Montana appears to have arrived at. Another moment passes in speculation and revelation and then Tombstone realizes that he should get the child help. He lifts up both as it would be rather difficult to detangle them here and goes up a story to his personal apartment. He locks the door behind himself and deposits the two in the bathroom.
After a little struggle, for the child's grip is very impressive, he manages to separate the two and start cleaning. Some of the cuts he finds are very deep and will need stitches. He quickly gets started on that after cleaning the kid up and is almost as quickly brought to a halt by Montana latching on to his arm and pulling. He pushes the cowboy away but this does not deter Montana from yanking on him Tombstone is forced to pin the cowboy to the wall with one hand and a look of irritation that Montana matches despite his eyes being slightly dazed.
"You can't use stitches."
"These cuts are very deep. I don't think you’re in any state-"
"Use stitches and you'll have to yank them out pretty soon. I've been helpin' the kid for a good while. More misery than the amount of help they provide."
Tombstone narrows his eyes at Montana who seems to be fighting against passing out.
"This is how it's going to go. You're going to tell me exactly what to do about Peter's injuries and what I want to know."
He presses Montanan a little more harshly into the wall, drawing a broken cough from the cowboy. It is not an idle threat and Montana seems to spot that quickly, eyes sharpening for a moment. Good.
"Fine. Window huh? That explains the glass."
The last bit is muttered and seems to have been a thought that slipped out into words rather than something meaningful. Tombstone drops Montana and the cowboy has to use the wall to support himself, swaying a little. Montana then crouches next to Peter, and after slipping off his gauntlets and mask, starts running his own check over the kid with gentle hands. He mutters a few soft words and then a few cut-off curses.
"Broken bone. I hate broken bones. Upper arm. Hold him, or he might just send me sailing through the wall."
Montana maneuvers Peter into Tombstone's arms, face calm seriousness. Tombstone is a bit surprised to find his arms filled with a child, but recalls for himself the strength that Spider-Man seemed to possess. It is hard to remember that in the face of Peter's tiny frame. Montana grabs a towel and gently eases Peter's mouth open. And then promptly swears.
"Montana?"
Tombstone's firm tone barely slows the cowboy down.
"Broken fang. Shoot. Looks like the venom's flowing free. Right. One problem at a time.”
He presses the towel up and then focuses on setting the arm. Peter opens his eyes and lets out a muffled scream. Tombstone holds firm as the cowboy keeps working. The arm is soon wrapped and then the cowboy rises, dampens a cloth, squeezes out the water, and then gently takes the towel out of Peter’s mouth.
“Mont…”
Peter whines and Montana shushes and coos.
“I’m here. Gimme a sec Peter. Open your mouth for me.”
Peter slowly does and whines as Montana holds the cloth to his teeth. Montana holds it in place and glances around.
“What kind of pain meds do you keep here? Any?”
“Advil. Upper cabinet.”
“Alright. Hold this please. Be careful to not let him bite you. Not sure if his anti-venom survived that crash.”
Montana waits for Tombstone to take over holding the cloth and then rises to look for the Advil. For all the calm the man appears to be trying to exude, Tombstone can see the faint tremor in his hands and the terror hidden in the depths of his rusty eyes. Peter makes a noise of complaint and a soft sob. It is heartbreaking in a way that Tombstone is not sure he can describe. Montana gently touches Peter’s face to get the kid's attention once he has the medicine.
“Hey, Peter, think you can manage some Advil?”
Montana’s voice is low, sweet, and careful. The child makes a tiny noise of affirmation and holds out a trembling hand. Montana puts five in the kid's hand and gently aids the child in getting the hand to his mouth. Tombstone moves the cloth away from the tooth and puts it back after Peter swallows.
“That many?”
“It’ll make enough of a dent for him to sleep. If I'm particularly lucky.”
Peter then starts struggling and pushing.
“Whoah, whoah. Easy there.”
Montana gently touches Peter and Peter shoves his way out of Tombstone’s arms onto Montana, burying his face in the crook of his neck.
“Oh, Peter.”
Montana half collapses under the light weight of the child and closes his eyes. Peter clings tight to the cowboy. And Tombstone finds himself feeling the emptiness of his arms. Peter hides his face and Montana curls around him protectively.
"Montana. Report."
Tombstone keeps his voice low but it seems to fill the room. Montana stiffens a little and Peter whines and grips his shirt tighter. The cowboy runs a soothing hand down the kids back and starts his report.
"I was fighting with the Six like normal. Ock had some new brilliant plan he done told nobody about. But that’s normal.” Montana then coughs and his entire face pinches in pain, but the man presses through. “We got where we were supposed to be, and Spidey showed up fairly soon into our street wreakin’. Course he tossed around some quibs and annoyed the heck out of Ock and Rhino. ‘S were the real trouble started. Ock set off some sort of device ment to shut down any tech Spidey uses. Course he didnt take into consideration my gear and my gauntlets exploded with the next blast and me and Peter went flying. Through a window apparently.”
The report is fairly short and concise, much like all of Montana’s reports. That was part of the reason he had hired the man. But now Tombstone is forced to reexamine everything.
“And youve been botching your missions with Spider-man on purpose?”
Montana gets a look of irritation, even as the man winces through another round of coughs.
“That’s a discredit to Peter.”
The man’s eyes are growing more unfocused. Tombstone narrows his eyes, wanting to ask more questions, but knowing that Montana passing out from bloodloss would mean also not getting his answers.
“You need to bandage yourself up.”
Montana’s hands clench around Peter for a moment and then he loosens his hold. He gently pulls at the kid’s hands. Peter whines.
“Peter, I need to handle my injuries.”
There is a faint whisper that Tombstone cannot hear. Montana winces slightly as Peter holds tighter.
“I know. Love you too kiddo.”
Montana says, pressing his cheek against Peter’s head. Peter slowly relaxes his grip and slips off to the side of Montana. The kid stays close to Montana’s side, looking at Tombstone with big eyes that are wide with fear and confusion. Tombstone feels his gut twist at the lack of trust clearly on display there. Why does he care so much about this child’s opinion? He should not. And yet he wants it. He wants Peter to look at him with trust like he had before. He wants the clear adoration that Peter has in his eyes when he looks at Montana. He wants to be the person Peter turns to in times of need.
Tombstone notes that the chipped tooth is leaking some sort of yellow liquid. Montana had mentioned venom. Tombstone offers out the cloth he had held to the boy’s face before. Peter stares at it for a moment, and then glances at Montana who is sorting out his own wounds. Peter slowly reaches out and takes the cloth and presses it to his mouth with hands that are clearly struggling to stay up. Tombstone invades the kid’s space and takes over holding the cloth. Peter looks like he might struggle for a moment and then his hands slowly slide to his sides. There is still a lot of fear in the child's eyes. But the light in them is dimming.
Both Tombstone and Peter startle when Montana thuds against the ground. Peter has a look of uncontrolled panic and immediately is pressing his head to Montana's chest. He must find a heartbeat because his entire body slacks. Brown eyes look up and into Tombstone's own, a plea resting in their depths.
"I… Help him, please. I can't… I can't lose anyone else."
Tears bubble up in the child's eyes as he begs. Tombstone nods, finding himself unable to deny the plea for help.

It's very strange to me how "self care" has evolved, and devolved, as a term.
I remember that, when it first started cropping up online, it was specifically used to describe activities that society might deem frivolous or childish, but which in reality can soothe or heal the psyche-- things like taking a bubble bath, playing in a leaf pile, going to the park with friends and playing on the swings and slide like you did when you were a kid, using a silly straw, building a fairy house, painting your nails fun colors, ordering comfort food even if it's not the healthiest thing on the menu, getting your dessert with rainbow sprinkles.
Then people took issue with, I don't know, the idea that frivolous joy might be a unique way to care for one's self, and started insisting that "hard stuff is self care too!" Doing your taxes is self care! Doing your laundry, paying your bills, taking your meds, washing the dishes! If it's necessary to keep you alive, and doing the task improves your life, it's self care!
Then companies noticed the popularity of the term and "self care" became the new slogan for the meditation and yoga and health food genre of product. Face masks, bath bombs, fresh organic produce-- it's self care! Going out to eat, getting boba tea, buying a comfy new bathrobe and some fuzzy slippers-- self care! The term is used interchangeably with "Treat yourself", but holds a different moral weight; instead of the thrill of self indulgence, it's "buy this unnecessary product for your health."
Now I see online communities attempting to reclaim it. "You don't have to spend money to do self care! You can go for a walk, take a bath, eat a healthy meal--"
That's not "self care" thats just taking care of yourself.
I'm not knocking the importance or difficulty of making time and having energy for taking care of yourself. It can be hard! It can be impossible sometimes!
I just think it's sad that this term has lost its meaning. I think its meaning was important. I think it's important to recognize the very specific way that being a little silly, being a little childish or frivolous, can truly be vital to one's mental health. It's activities that are technically TRULY optional, but only if the goal of life is perpetual drudgery. Self care is (or was, originally) all the ways to recover, to be comforted, and have a little fun so life is more than just worth living. All the ways that get dismissed as unimportant.
I just think it's worth noticing that this term, about reclaiming that which is incorrectly dismissed as unimportant, is itself deemed too unimportant to survive with its true meaning intact.

White Nationalist ‘Active Clubs’ Are Who ‘Proud Boys Wanted to Be’ – Rolling Stone
This ‘Violence-Ready’ Militia Is Hiding in Plain Sight
White supremacist Active Clubs are growing exponentially — "They’re Who The Proud Boys Wanted To Be," one researcher says
https://www.rollingstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/active-clubs_1.jpg?w=1581&h=1054&crop=1
There’s a new power player on America’s extremist scene. White nationalist “Active Clubs” are growing explosively, and filling a void created by the prosecutions that decimated the leadership of Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys. “The Active Clubs are who the Proud Boys thought they were,” says Jon Lewis, a research fellow at the Program on Extremism at George Washington University. “They’re who the Proud Boys wanted to be.”
Active Clubs mix white supremacy and violence, training in kickboxing, among other combat sports. But — at least the moment — they’re not seeking to intimidate the public with swastikas and face tattoos, common to other groups of racist brawlers. Instead, Active Clubs have put forward a slicker, more presentable aesthetic — recruiting new members by touting physical fitness, self-improvement, and “white unity.” 
The Active Clubs are flying below the radar of law enforcement. But as described in a new 50-page report from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), the network is evolving into a dangerous “stand-by militia” of well-trained, white-nationalist fighters “who can be activated when the need for coordinated violent action on a larger scale arises.”
Here’s what you need to know:
Where Did Active Clubs Come From?
Active Clubs are the creation of Robert Rundo, a white supremacist who operated out of Orange County, California. They’re his second attempt to launch an extremist network. Starting in 2017, Rundo built the “Rise Above Movement” or RAM, which sought to spark the “warrior spirit” in white men and billed itself as the “premier MMA club of the Alt-Right.” 
But the violent street brawling of Rundo and his compatriots quickly invited a crackdown. Rundo and others were charged in 2019 with federal conspiracy to riot for violent California confrontations in places like Huntington Beach and Berkeley, where Rundo and his fighters decked themselves out in “goggles, mouth guards, athletic tape around their wrists, and black face masks with white skeleton designs,” according to the indictment.
Editor’s picks
Those charges were tossed out for a time — due to a dispute over the constitutionality of the criminal statute. By the time they were reinstated in 2021, Rundo was in the wind, living in Serbia and other parts of Eastern Europe, where he was picking up new tricks from local hooligans and crafting a vision for what he bills “White Supremacy 3.0.” 
What is White Supremacy 3.0?
This is Rundo’s shorthand for a reboot of tactics and aesthetics among white nationalists. In this rubric, White Supremacy 1.0 refers to the skinheads — flamboyant, scary, in your-face, but self-limiting in building broad appeal. 2.0 was the “Alt-Right” — cleaner cut, far more presentable, but terminally online (Rundo derides them as “keyboard warriors”) and beset by infighting among disparate groups over priorities and tactics.
White Supremacy 3.0 in this context seeks to achieve a mix of publicly-presentable aesthetics, real-world activism, and white-power solidarity. The Active Clubs reflect these ideas in their slogans, including, “Make fascism fun,” “White unity at every opportunity,” and “Being handsome and jacked is more important than being right when it comes to politics.”
How Are Active Clubs Organized?
Active Clubs do not have a top-down hierarchy. They operate instead as an “open network” of locally run cells that all share the same ethos. According to the CEP report, “Active Clubs are supposed to connect and cooperate but stay operationally independent.” The logic behind the distributed power structure is that “infiltrations and arrests of leadership figures, or even the shutdown of an Active Club, should have little if any effect on the Active Club network itself.”
Related
In May 2022, Rundo celebrated the network’s resilience, insisting “the Active Clubs run on their own. They don´t need me anymore.” In fact, Active Clubs are growing exponentially, even with the group’s founder now in jail. Rundo was caught in Romania in March 2023 and extradited to the U.S. in August to face charges. His trial is set for December.
What do Active Clubs Look Like?
The Active Clubs present themselves as groups of gym bros who pursue mixed martial arts — and just happen to dabble in white power. “They are specifically asked not to talk about ‘The Jews’ when recruiting, but to focus on positive things like brotherhood, community and so on,” says Alexander Ritzmann, the Berlin-based researcher who authored the CEP report. This follows Rundo’s belief that: “A group of strong white men is a fascist statement in itself.”
Embracing the socially-acceptable violence of MMA culture allows active clubs to avoid the attention of law enforcement, who at first glance, Ritzmann says, would encounter what appears to be just “sporty white men — not much to see here.”
But beneath the surface, Active Clubs represent gangs of young white supremacists who are all about the “glorification of brutal violence,” Ritzmann insists. Lewis, the GW extremism researcher, warns that Active Clubs have “truly become the tip of the fascist spear.”
How Do Active Clubs Gain New Members?
The Active Clubs recruit with narratives of white victimhood, an approach that justifies violence in seeking the supposed restoration of white greatness. The Active Clubs, according to the CEP report, recruit at gyms, motocross events, NASCAR races, and perhaps most disturbing, at high schools. “When there’s an increase in violence at a high school,” Ritzmann says, “the recommendation is to show up to provide protection and training for the white male students.”
The strategy is “tribe and train” — to group off in small, locally run groups that solicit new members and build up their capacity as street fighters. 
How Many Active Clubs Are There?
Since their founding in late 2020, the Active Clubs have grown explosively. There are now nearly 50 active clubs across 34 states, according to the CEP research. The network is also active in Canada, where there are a dozen clubs, and in Europe where 46 clubs can be found across 14 different countries.
In the U.S., the groups are now taking leadership cues from Rundo’s home club, SoCal Active Club. Other prominent cells include the Tennessee Active Club, the Great Lakes Active Club, the Southern Sons Active Club, and the Evergreen Active Club. A typical Active Club ranges from five to 25 members. But they have a broader reach through social media. The Telegram channels of the most popular clubs have hundreds — and as many as thousands — of subscribers.
Most clubs adopt a similar white-power logo, a cross inside a circle. “This is a use — or abuse — of the Celtic cross, and then they put their local spin on it,” Ritzmann says. Despite supposed prohibitions on Nazi symbolism, some clubs have drifted into more overt anti-semitism and racism. The Southern Sons Active Club logo, for example, features SS lightning bolts and a sonnenrad instead of a Celtic cross.
Do the Active Clubs Join Together?
While the clubs largely act alone, Active Clubs have for the past two years, hosted an MMA tournament, with representatives from Active Clubs across America joining in for the fights. The tournament this past August, in Huntington Beach warehouse, also featured participation by members of the the group Patriot Front.
Active Clubs do operate independently, says Morgan Lynn Moon, an investigative researcher at the ADL’s Center on Extremism. But she insists that they “see themselves as part of a connected brotherhood,” adding that “if one Active Club is targeted by a perceived enemy, the entire network feels this need to stand up in solidarity and support.”
Moon points to a late-June clash outside Portland, between local Proud Boys and members an Active Club affiliate called the Rose City Nationalists. Both groups had shown up to menace an LGBTQ Pride event, but wound up scruffling with each other. The conflict was the result of a personal beef, Moon says. “But what I found significant was how Active Clubs across the nation were coming out in solidarity — saying that they were going to start fighting the Proud Boys.”
How Are Active Clubs Financed?
The funding of the Active Clubs is opaque. But at least part of the money comes from sales of a lifestyle apparel brand founded by Rundo called Will2Rise, which sells “militant active wear.” The slick store site not only sells “Active Club” track jackets and hoodies, it also serves as recruitment propaganda and a reinforcer of the aesthetics Rundo wants to model for the network. 
From the outside, the network appears flush. “They travel a lot,” Ritzmann says. “Rundo was offering a French Active Club to pay for their travel so they can attend some of their fight nights. So where does that money come from? It is this shop.” 
What’s the End Game?
The Active Clubs’ primary actions — consisting of covert banner drops, graffiti tagging, and posting Active Club recruitment or “Free Rundo” stickers — may appear relatively innocuous. But this is also training with a nefarious edge. As the CEP report describes it, such actions build “operational and logistical capacities such as scouting target locations, transportation, and avoiding law enforcement.”
Ritzmann also describes that Active Clubs that have been bragging about “tactical casualty care training” — something he notes has nothing to do with kickboxing or MMA fighting. “This is for shooting events,” he says. “Where you need to evacuate wounded people from the area of violence.”
Trending
For now, Active Clubs are in startup mode, pursuing growth. “They want to fill up the tank with as many white men as they can train,” says Ritzmann. The darker purpose, he insists, is to prepare “for the Day-X scenario.” Think: a replay of Jan. 6 or something more dangerous, “when there’s national leadership that needs… a network of violence-ready individuals to serve as a stand-by army.” 
When discussing Active Clubs, Rundo himself has invoked the American Revolution, comparing the network to the Minutemen militias. “They will lose some [members] once they then get very political,” Ritzmann predicts. “But if Active Clubs are allowed to continue to operate and multiply, it increases the likelihood for targeted political violence and terrorism.”

Darling's Diary: Cleaning Break and Increasing Prices
Hey darlings, it's been a while since I posted an update like this! I'm taking a day or two away from work. It's been three days since I started cleaning and organizing my apartment and I still have so much sweeping, vacuuming and mopping to do. They weren't kidding when they said cleaning can make you sick 💀 my nose is runny but I've been drinking lots of fluids and getting rest (and I started wearing a face mask and gloves while I clean to avoid this in the future)
Expect comm updates from me this week though! Winter sale is still ongoing and you can still reserve to avail of that 10% off before I raise my prices in March.
My art style evolved and improved to the point where it's taking me longer than usual to finish an illustration. Additionally, external factors like changes with my banks' policies and the economy getting shittier are forcing my hand to raise prices 😭 I'm still figuring out the prices for all items, but I know for certain that full body colored illustrations will now start at 200 USD.
I hope you guys are having a great 2024 so far! 💕
