🙋‍♀️ mr nox i have a problem! i think you’re so cool and i really like your blog but i have no idea what you’re talking about in your ffvii posts 😔 any chance you could talk about it? feel free to go into as much detail as possible ✍️👀

YES! YES! Okay so the basics is FFVII is a turn based rpg game released in 1997 and is the seventh game in the Final Fantasy series. It differs slightly in some of the series main themes and gameplay, such as having a party of 3 instead of the usual party of 4 and having a more futuristic/cyberpunk setting than the more high fantasy setting of earlier FF games. FFVII was the second bestselling PS1 game of all time right after Gran Turismo and has held its place as one of the most influential video games of all time.

Now the thing is… I could just give you a rundown of the entire plot but it honestly has a lot going on and a lot of characters so I’ll just tell you about the characters!

Main Cast/Non-optional PCs:

Cloud Strife: The main protagonist! I could introduce you to Cloud as the game does, but to outsiders I feel it’s more fun to just cut to the chase and tell you who he really is: DORK ASS LOSER!! Which I say affectionately, but honestly it is a huge part of his character. Cloud is introduced as an Ex-SOLDIER 1st Class, which are essentially super soldiers created by Shinra Electric Power Company (Yes! The big bad’s in this game are all tied back to a corporation that’s framed as bad for LITERALLY “Killing the planet”), but uhhhh Cloud made that the fuck up. Only thing is, he doesn’t KNOW he made it up because his memories are HELLA fucked up from a mix of trauma and Mako poisoning. At the end of the day, Cloud is a boy from mid-fuck nowhere who wanted to be a SOLDIER but never made the cut. He looked up to Sephiroth as a kid and when he joined Shinra’s private military he also met Zack, who he began to look up to also. His entire personality at the beginning of the game is based of the people he aspired to be like (wow.. Cloud autism moment.. the boy is emulating). At the end of the game, Cloud is revealed to be a totally average normal loser guy (Wow I wonder why Nox Spider-Man Guy liked Cloud so much?), but despite not being the big fancy hero he hyped himself up to be, he’s still the one his friends look to as a leader and he’s still the guy who managed to beat Sephiroth.

Tifa Lockhart: Tifa is the resident party fighter! She and Cloud grew up in the same town, and despite how they both skew it throughout the game, they were barely acquaintances when Cloud left their hometown. So do NOT let anyone trick you into thinking they were actually childhood friends. Tifa trained martial arts under Zangan (one of the many.. many… npcs I will not be able to get to today) and she turned out to be QUITE the badass. Tifa’s a very kind person, but she’s also portrayed as pretty sassy which I love her for. (Which doesn’t show up in the remake as much sadly.) She looks out for Cloud when they’re reunited and gets him in with Avalanche, her ecoterrorist buddies. Throughout the game Tifa is mostly a more grounding character in the story, when Cloud gets his memories back, it’s all thanks to Tifa. Originally she didn’t have a huge role story wise other than being a romantic interest, but she still was a decently well rounded character despite that. One thing I prefer in the remake to the original is Tifa’s characterization.

Barret Wallace: Leader and founder of aforementioned ecoterrorist group, Avalanche! He’s ALSO my second favorite character in the game after Cloud!! Barret is the party’s resident tank, he’s got a big fucking gun strapped to his arm. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HE’S A GOOD DAD!! Barret’s main motivating force in the game is revenge on Shinra for what it did to his family and friends, as well as protecting his daughter Marlene and making a better future for her. (The pro-environmentalism was a HUGE theme in this game, it all ties back to that) Barret is the first party member you meet in the game and his main narrative purpose is being kinda the opposite of what Tifa is to Cloud: someone who doesn’t put up with his (or literally anyone else’s) bullshit. He comes across as angry or mean when you first meet him but it’s not long at all into the game until you realize he actually cares very deeply for the people around him and the planet he lives on. He’s also a bit of a nerd! Mainly when it comes to the planet, he spent a good few years of his life completely dedicated to learning more about the planet and unlearning Shinra’s corporate propaganda. Eventually it led him to deciding to take Shinra down, any means necessary. The WHOLE game wouldn’t have happened if Barret hadn’t been there to form Avalanche.

Aerith/Aeris Gainsborough: The last surviving member of an ancient people that were wiped out by a great calamity. She’s the party’s healer and magic user! She met Cloud by him.. literally falling through the roof of a church. Aerith is right of the bat portrayed as sweet, fun loving, and mysterious. She serves as a pillar for the group, as a support character in combat as well as in the story. She serves as a key to unlocking the way to defeat Sephiroth. She also provides one of the most well know tragic death’s in video game history, a turning point for the story that gives everyone in the group a real motivation to not let her sacrifice go to waste. Even after she dies, she serves as a key player in the plot and in their plan to save the planet. (I could say sooo much more about her but I still have more characters to get to.. anyways I have so many feelings about Aerith all the time always.)

Red XIII/Nanaki: He’s just a funny little guy! I jest, he’s a very important little guy. Nanaki is, like Aerith, the last of his kind. Outside of the first four, it’s hard to pin each character’s main purpose in the party dynamic. Nanaki is one of the most mature characters in the party, often not understanding his human (and cetra) companions and their more petty disagreements. He’s level headed and goal oriented, he mainly only sticks with the party at first because he wants to get home, but after a while they grow on him and he feels a duty to protect the planet as well.

Cait Sith/Reeve Tuesti: A little FREAK, who I love. Basically he’s a little robot cat who’s controlled by a business man guy. I really have nothing more to say about him. He’s just funny.

Cid Highwind: Ah… Cid. So glad this ask was sent by Sid. Cid is one of the reoccurring elements of FF, every FF game has it’s Cid. He’s usually tech/machine/science savvy and in FFVII, their Cid is a pilot! He gives the party access to many forms of travel that you can use to explore the open world! Personality wise he is an asshole! But I love him :) He was scheduled to be in charge of the first ever spaceship and be one of the first people on the planet to ever go to space, but he gave it up because it would’ve put someone in danger. He’s a bit like Barret in that way…. just more of a jerk. He doesn’t always show when he cares and in the ways he does show, he’s pretty unconventional. Despite everything about him, he’s willing to do whatever it takes to help the assholes who stole and wrecked his plane save the world.

Optional PCs:

Yuffie Kisaragi: Teenage ninja, materia thief, and known menace. Yuffie is a ninja from Wutai, an enemy of Shinra that they fought against in a war that took place years before the game even began. After Wutai was defeated, Yuffie wanted to help regain their former glory, and she would do this by getting her hands on the most powerful materia the world had to offer! Which is how she meets Cloud and Co. Originally, she just plans to stick with them long enough to rob them blind, but they soon become her friends and she eventually has more reason to stay with them other than their materia (but she DOES still take their materia in the end, it’s freely given at that point though)

Vincent Valentine: Guy who fucked Sephiroth’s mom and is emo about it. He’s also a vampire and turns into various fun creatures as his limit break. I like Vincent well enough, but I don’t have much to say on him.

Antagonists:

President Shinra & Rufus Shinra: Boring ass capitalist mother fuckers. Rufus has a dog though, that’s kinda cool.

The Turks: Couldn’t care less about them, they’re basically elite special operatives, but honestly Imo they add very little to the game beyond capturing Aerith in the beginning.

Professor Hojo & the other Shinra execs: Hojo is a freak and also Sephiroth’s father. He’s the head of Shinra’s science devision, a positive he took up after Aerith’s father quit. He’s responsible for making Sephiroth and the rest of SOLDIER, and eventually the Sephiroth clones, which includes Cloud. The rest of the execs are… boring imo. :/ Scarlet is hot at least.

JENOVA: Milf. Sephiroth’s “Mother” although they share no actual relation other than Sephiroth containing her cells. She’s also an alien. JENOVA is the real antagonist of FFVII in my mind, she was behind Sephiroth’s downward spiral and motivated him to use the Black Materia to destroy the world. She’s a part of Sephiroth and she’s in his head. Despite the fact she has like no lines at ALL, she’s one of the most sinister villains in the game.

Sephiroth: Best for last!! Sephiroth was born to Lucretia Crescent and Professor Hojo, both of which were scientists and were super down with experimenting on their own kid (Lucretia was debatably against it but like… not enough against it obviously). Sephiroth was raised never once meeting Lucretia, not knowing Hojo was his father, and only being told his mother’s name was Jenova. After he found JENOVA in Nibelheim (Cloud and Tifa’s hometown) he had a mental breakdown and started studying everything he could find about her and himself in the research notes of Professor Gast (Aerith’s dad lol). He came to the conclusion that JENOVA was cetra (what Aerith is) and that the planet was his birthright as he believed he and JENOVA were the last remaining cetra. So he burned down the village and killed everyone in it, some of the only survivors of the incident were: Tifa, Cloud, Zangan, and Zack. Cloud managed to defeat Sephiroth and throw him into the Lifestream (the “blood of the planet” essentially) despite being 16 and just an infantryman. Sephiroth eventually comes back five years later with a plan to ascend to godhood, because it’s what his “mother” wants and I’m pretty sure the guy doesn’t have free will at this point lol.

NPCs:

Zack Fair: A SOLIDER 1st Class who befriended Cloud and maybe Sephiroth a little bit debatably. He’s also Aerith’s ex-boyfriend! There’s actually not a HUGE amount of info about Zack in the OG, which is part of the point. He’s filling a hole in the story, someone to fill the blanks in how Cloud got to where he is. He’s an upbeat guy, with aspirations to be a hero, well.. was. He dies saving Cloud’s life in an attempt to get them both back to Midgar after they were both experimented on for five years straight. In the remake his death has seemingly been retconned

Jessie, Biggs, & Wedge: The other members of avalanche and partially another reoccurring element in the FF series (there’s always two characters named Biggs & Wedge). They were close to Tifa and Barret, but they all died pretty early in the game thanks to Shinra. I miss them every day…. their deaths might also have been retconned.

#long post #sorryyy no read more i’m on mobile rn #asks #ophidian lore #ffvii #sorry everyone in the main tag.. my organization system. is important.

He has this wonderful Mentor-Student Relationship with Ed, and is always up for a riddle. He finds Clue to be sweet, even to nauseating degree, but he’s fine with her. The only thing his wondering around her is why is she bunny themed. He also has high functioning autism, ADHD, and Minor Anxiety. Real name is Jack Damfino-Vance, and He’s 6'2

Terror is a prankster, always spooking everyone with his teleportation, which is like Nightcrawlers from X-Men(Smoke Cloud and a Noise similar to Bomf). He finds phobia’s fascinating, especially the rare ones. He’s the brawn to Puzzle’s Brain. Real Name is Karl Brunt, and he’s 6’

Treble is mute, he loves music. at this point Music Meister has unofficially adopted him. The way that kinetic aura works is, the more he moves the stronger it gets and thus the harder it hits. he can even share it with others if his built it up enough. Real name is Harris Harper.

BloodBat is a Human Red Lantern, under the construct of a man bat, he’s a redhead, with hazel eyes, a goatee, and a lanky body. His real name is Alowishus Hawk-Jones, and he’s 6'6. BloodBat is 8'4, and wields a battle axe. BloodBat is a berserker, but he’s not Rage Blind, his knowledge on how to use his ring is unparalleled. When in BloodBat form, Al has the physical attributes of ballistic gel, he can get shot and cut and all he’ll get is annoyed. He calls Croc, Cousin Waylon, not to be condescending or annoying to Waylon but to remind the big lug that he’s human, and that he has family that cares about him. Alowishus is a very good friend of most of the rouges and usually tries to brighten their days when they’re in Arkham(Bring Vic the latest report on Nora, Asking Harvey who won today, Giving Ed a New crossword book everyday, Etc). BloodBat also doesn’t like the dirty or bad cops of GCPD and will hospitalize them. He will even fight Batman, if he messes with Waylon, Grace, or Victor.

Savior - Rafe Cameron

Request: Hello I just wanted to ask if you still hand my JJ x sister!reader request where she has autism and she gets drugged at a party and rafe sees it and he rescues her and carries her because she keeps mumbling jj and jj hands her off to john b because he thinks rafe did it but she whispers to JB that he saved her and she hugs rafe and thanks him and jj does to and jj just takes her back to the chateau and takes care of her

Outer Banks Masterlist

✰ ✰ ✰ ✰

This had already been a much different summer than you had expected. You’d been back from school for less than two months, staying mostly at Kiara’s house or the Chateau, putting up with your brother dragging you along to parties that you definitely never wanted to go to before, and still didn’t, doing better than you had been in September when you moved to the mainland. None of that could have prepared you for the party at the boneyard that weekend.

JJ and John B had shown up that afternoon with a keg, deciding that a party was in order. Another party. You would have loved a Friday night that didn’t involve standing around the beach and pretending you were having a good time but you knew that JJ would freak out if you asked to stay at the Chateau alone.

“You don’t look like you’re having fun?” Someone commented and you turned to find Rafe standing there, cup in hand. He offered you the spare, as if he’d gotten it just for you.

“What is fun?” You joked, “I thought you and my brother had a thing going.” A two person war was more the description warranted. You knew JJ hated Rafe and the kook hated your brother just as much.

He adjusted the cap he had sitting backward on his head, shrugging, “doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the view.”

“Am I...” you trailed off at the way he smiled, feeling your heart pick up speed in your chest. Yeah you knew all about Rafe but that didn’t totally negate the fact that he was gorgeous. A fuckboy, sure, but a fuckboy you didn’t mind giving your attention to. “That’s pretty smooth.”

You rubbed at the inside of your wrist, gently snapping the hairband that sat there, trying to center yourself so you didn’t say something completely stupid. You hated these parties, that was clear as you looked around, trying not to meet his eyes.

“Hey,” Rafe put his hand on your elbow, rubbing his thumb against your bare skin when you tensed slightly, “you okay?”

“Yeah, fine. Sorry. Just, don’t really like parties.” You admitted, “it’s JJ thing, not mine.”

You were sure that you sounded stupid saying that, especially to Rafe, but he didn’t seem bothered by it. “You wanna head up the beach? It’s quieter up there.”

“Okay.” You could hear JJ’s voice in the back of your head telling you that going anywhere with Rafe was a bad idea but you didn’t listen to that for once, following him up toward some driftwood. When the crowd gets a little more dense his hand slips down from your elbow to your hand, leading you through. Before you can get all the way to your destination two guys who seem to know Rafe stop you.

“Hey man!” One of them called before fist bumping with him. “Hows it going?”

“Alright, you?” He made conversation with them as you took another look around the party. You could see JJ down near the keg with John B and Sarah, the three of them laughing and looking like they were having a great time.

You heard the tail end of Rafe’s sentence as you turned back toward the group, raising your cup to your lips and taking a sip. One of the guys smiled at you as you did but you didn’t think anything of it as Rafe walked you away from them.

“I can’t stand those guys.”

“You seemed friendly.” You joked, taking another drink.

“You ever have friends you hate?” He replied. “Hey, whoa, didn’t peg you for a lightweight Maybank.” He teased, wrapping an arm around your waist to hold you up.

“I don’t know...what...I don’t...”

“Hey, hey,” Rafe tossed his cup and yours to free up his other hand to check your eyes as you leaned more heavily against him. He gripped you tighter, glancing back toward the party only to see one of his friends from earlier toss a thumbs up his way. “Fuck.”

“JJ...whe-”

“Hey, it’s okay, come on, let’s get you to your brother.” Rafe slipped his arm under your knees, lifting you up to carry you down toward the more crowded part of the beach. He gripped tighter, sure he was bruising your side and knees as he tried to keep you in his arms.

“Hey!” JJ shouted, turning to find Rafe carrying you down the hill toward him. JJ ran up to meet him, John B at his side, grabbing you from Rafe’s arms.

“JJ,” You tumbled a little as JJ tried to help you into John B’s arms as he moved in on Rafe. He shoved the oldest Cameron away once you were out of the cross hairs, getting in his face.

“The hell did you do to my sister?”

“Lay off, I didn’t fucking do anything.” Rafe snapped, shoving him back.

John B held you up as Sarah came over to check on you. “Are you okay, what happened?” He asked, trying to guide you away from your brother and Rafe.

“I don’t...it wasn’t Rafe.”

“What?”

“It wasn’t Rafe...I...it wasn’t.”

“Okay, okay, you’re alright.” John B said, quieting you. “JJ, it wasn’t Rafe.”

“That’s what I’ve been saying!” Rafe said, shoving your brother once more. “I know who fucking did it though, if you’d get your fucking hands off me I’d tell you.”

“Who?” JJ asked, fists clenching as he glanced around the party.

“Come on babe, lets get you back to the Chateau.” Sarah said, rubbing your back gently.

“Wait...Rafe-”

“It’s okay, come on, we’ll see him soon.” She promised, helping John B lead you back to the Twinkie while Rafe and JJ went to confront the guys who had roofied your drink. An unlikely pair to be putting their differences aside, they’d be at each other’s throats again later but for now the common issue was beating the shit out of whoever had tried hurt you.

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Matchup ♥

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　　 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Hello there! If you don’t mind, would it be alright to request a matchup for Demon Slayer, Fullmetal Alchemist & Fire Force?

I’m an autistic, gay trans guy!

(I’m a Libra & ISFP).

I’m 4'10 with short hair that I dye often (as of right now, it’s indigo!) and I have hazel eyes, with a lot of freckles. I’m chubby, but with a very prominent hourglass figure. I gravitate towards wearing clothes that are baggy, but I have a secret love for wearing things like dresses or generally very pretty/cute clothes?

(Like.. Lolita style stuff! I have no problem wearing feminine things, and a lot of it makes me feel really confident! I often feel insecure about myself due to my autism, and I have a birth defect that gives me complications with walking, so wearing nice things and looking fancy makes me feel a lot better about myself!)

I’m timid and struggle when it comes to socialising especially with new people. I tend to not speak at first and only gesturing to avoid having to properly talk unless necessary. I struggle anxiety and extreme hyper-empathy (I feel emotions a lot more intensely than most people would). It’s not hard to get me very overwhelmed either so I do find it difficult to talk to others, but I do get along better with those who are a lot more extroverted and will open up more with people like that! Over time I tend to come more out of my shell and I’m very loving and compassionate!

I’m not the smartest, and can be pretty oblivious (i.e. with romantic advances) and need most things to be said to me at face value or I usually won’t understand, or it’ll go over my head.. And to which, I have my head in the clouds most of the time, always day-dreaming and that causes me to be uncoordinated or clumsy.. Which my short attention span doesn’t help with at all!

(It’s taken me a few hours to actually sit and write this ‘cus I keep getting distracted, haha!)

Despite my initial shyness, I have the tendency to be very loud and childish around people I like/want to impress, and won’t think much when I do this, which leads me to embarrass myself rather often. My love language comes in gifts or words of affirmation and I’m over the top lovey-dovey, but I instantly fluster if they’re returned. I’m very much so teased for how easy I am to embarrass.

I’m creative and absolutely adore most forms of fiction, taking mass amounts of inspiration from it for what I make! I’m a writer, artist and a singer in my free-time! (I love to sing for others or draw others, do anything to just show off my talent to make others happy!)

I really enjoy impressing with my ideas and their originality, and adore nothing more than when I get to talk about what I love; but sometimes I overshare or talk too much and can be unsure where to stop.

I guess overall I would do better with someone who doesn’t mind how 'eccentric’ I am? (I’m often bullied for these “strange” qualities) And someone who’s more outgoing than me? That aside, I don’t mind anything else, but I do have a type for guys who are a lot taller than me, haha!

I hope this isn’t too much, but thank you so much for reading, and if you accept this request! I really tried my hardest with this 'cus I really like this blog!

Waah, thank you again! I hope you have a nice day!

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　　 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Hello @eggedeggs and thank you so much for requesting with us! I am sososososos sorry this got out so late, but I truly hope that you enjoy this!

>Admin 𝕋

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　　 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

𝐼 𝓈𝒽𝒾𝓅 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒽...

Alphonse Elric! So, the reasons as to why I matched you up with Alphonse is because i really like the idea of having someone who looks so basic with someone who looks so cool, you! I feel like Alphonse, being the accepting person that he is will have no reservations being with someone so outspoken in the way you show yourself to the world. Hopefully that makes sense, but ultimately Alphonse will ultimately be fascinated with how you look, cool hair and lolita style and all!

You aren’t the only person who is a little timid at first, Alphonse is just as timid, but as had time to adjust to it. He could be someone that could help you with your shyness and being timid! He understands the feeling, he knows how it feels to be shy towards others, so he will know how to help you feel more confident! And when you feel overwhelmed about meeting new people, he will pull you to he side and make sure that you okay, make sure that you feel calm until you can socialize again, and if you can’t then he will take you some place that will help you feel better! He also loves that you are so compassionate and he especially loves watching you come out of your shell when you are comfortable around people! SO with that in mind, Alphonse will do everything in his power to make you feel comfortable so that he can see you being the bubbly and eccentric person you are!

Alphonse would notice your love of fiction, how you are always reading or writing; so he’ll sometimes go into town and look the various shops to see if they have a new fiction book or if they have someone writing utensils that would suit you and your creative endeavors! He is very attentive to stuff that really makes you happy, so when he sees something that make your smile the brightest, Alphonse will never hesitate to get it for you, no matter the cost!

All in all, I feel that Alphonse will be the best fit for you in the fullmetal universe because he is attentive, loves how you express, yourself, understands your shyness and how sometimes being around people really overwhelms you! He will love every bit of you from head to toe. He isn’t really the most outgoing person, but for you, he will do his best to be the man of the party!

Tanjiro! Okay, so you and Tanjiro! It’s just *Chef’s kiss*! Tanjiro is a pretty outgoing guy with a love for friends and family that compares to no other! And you not be an exception to that! He would love you cute clothes, your cool Indigo hair, and your amazing hourglass figure!

Tanjiro would be understanding about your shyness around other people, though wouldn’t personally understand it himself. But that won’t stop him from trying to make sure that you feel comfortable around his friends and such! And oh boy, once you do get comfortable enough to show all of them your funny confident side, Tanjiro’s eyes will become literal hearts for you! He will fin d it extremely endearing when you talk about things that you love and things that give you inpiration! And just as Alphonse will do, Tanjiro will find things that will help you get more inspirations and more motivation to be creative!

Tanjiro will notice that you are a bit floaty, in the sense that you get distracted a lot, which is perfectly fine for him, he is the kind of person that has dealt with that and knows how to help you back to the grounds of reality! But sometimes, Tanjiro will let you do you thing, whatever it may be, from thinking about something else entirely or maybe just letting you stay in your daydream! He mostly does it because he the look on your face whenever you go into your little dreamland intrigues. He always wonders what you are thinking about whether it be your next project or something about the flowers in the garden! He just likes staring and watching, his heart beating rapidly because of how cute it is!

He would love if you were to tell him your ideas, run it by him so that he can be a part of the creative adventure! Tell him about a new book you want to write or maybe a piece of art that you want to paint! And if by chance, the painting would be a portrait of him, he will smile and excitedly pose for the painting! He wants to be there every step of the way even if he doesn’t really know what is going on!

All in all, I feel like you and Tanjiro would make a fantastic couple! He will help you get out of your shell a little but, but still support you when you need to be a lone to recharge! He will be there for you when you have amazing ideas for a book or a picture that you want to make! Tanjiro will be the one to make you feel confident and feel great about yourself with how much love he will shower on you! So make sure to give some of that love back to him!

Vulcan! So, I chose Vulcan purely for the aesthetic, like come on. You have this amazing lolita look going on with the cool hair and the and the nice sense if style mixed in with his tattoos and rocker look, and his hair and iron personality, it just makes so much sense to pair you up with him! His personality is outgoing, loud, and rambunctious. It’s something that can really combat your shy demeanor in a good way. The way you see him conversing with other people, they way he would make you feel comfortable around because he is with you will help you tremendously! He will make sure you will never feel overwhelmed ever again, and knowing him he will most likely try to fight that overwhelming feelings himself. On another note, I feel that out of all three of these guys, Vulcan would be the most into your body! He wou0d loves the curves and just, the way you look in clothing, he just love it so much!

As for your floaty mind and your daydreaming, he would find it a extremely endearing and kind of irritating at times, but mostly endearing. What makes it irritating for him is when you do it for too long and you accidentally fall and hurt yourself or something along those lines. He just doesn’t want you to hurt yourself! He also doesn’t want you to forget things, but he would learn to live with it by putting little notes all around your shared space, making sure that you don’t forget at least the important things, such as doctors appointments or bills that need to be paid!

Vulcan will be the type to constantly want to embarrass you, so if you show him any affection and he returns then sees you get all flustered by his affections, you will be in for a long ride! He will shower you in hugs and kisses just to see how red you can get! Is it mean? Yes, but does he really care? No, not when you look so cute when you are blushing! He can’t handle it! But he does it cause he loves you, and if anything it is more of an excuse to give you more hugs and kisses!

On another note, he will be absolutely love how creative you are! I mean, look at him, you and Vulcan can do wonders to the worlds with both of your creative minds working together! So, all in all, I think that you and Vulcan would make a fantastic couple in the fire force universe. He will treat you spectacularly, with care and with lots of love! So make sure you give him your all too!

lucatiel darksouls 2 or drake mallard :]

I’m gonna do Drake because much as I love Lucatiel I wouldnt be able to answer like most of these about her

Why I like them: overdramatic. gay. gesticulates a lot. is autistic. gets hurt a lot but has a recurring theme of never giving up. adopts a child he spoke to for like two days. I think I identify a lot of myself in him (excluding the megalomania) and it makes me insanely attached to him.

Why I don’t: iirc there was a Darkwing Duck episode about him bothering Gosalyn for being “too much of a tomboy” and I may remember it wrong but fuck him for that. stupid homophobic gay duck.

Favorite episode (scene if movie): While I don’t remember most of 1991 Darkwing Duck (I only owned one VHS of it and also have memory issues), I think the scene in which Drake adopts Gosalyn in the first episodes of the show makes me wanna cry.

For the Ducktales reboot, literally both episodes have been spectacular but Let’s Get Dangerous lives in my head rent free

Favorite season/movie: I have no idea my man I don’t remember most of the show. I need to rewatch it.

Favorite line: this video

Favorite outfit: I do love his casual wear in Ducktales 2017. dikey.

OTP: drakepad. obviously

Brotp: idk if it counts as such but Drake’s relationship with Gosalyn makes my heart hurt with too many emotions. otherwise, I wanna see how his friendship with Fenton plays out!

Head Canon: his high pain tolerance comes from autism. change my mind :)

Unpopular opinion: I don’t think I have any?

A wish: please sir I want canon drakepad sir

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: genuinely have no idea because now my expectations for his continuation in the show are so high they’re touching the clouds. I really don’t want to get gaybaited by a kids cartoon AGAIN so I hope they don’t go through that road.

5 words to best describe them: narcisistic gay thespian gets hurt

My nickname for them: See my answer abt Zagreus. I don’t give male characters nicknames. I’m a lesbian.

In honour of today being National Culture Day in my country and exactly a year since I've seen my favourite band perform live, I've decided to take a minute and talk about Dream Theater. And by talk I mean mostly nerd out about my favourite songs and why I love them so much.

in case you haven’t heard of Dream Theater before, they’re an american progressive metal band, who’s been around since 1985. idk what else to say except even if you don’t like metal/rock give a listen to Beneath the surface.

tw: some pretty heavy topics such as death, murder, mental illness, alcoholism,...

so to start, I love the versatility of their songs and yet they still have that distinct Dream Theater sound. my favourite part of their music are the lyrics. a lot of them are inspired by their own personal experience, which often makes them just the more heart breaking. and for others, I don't know what creator juice these guys are on but I'd like some. they’re the kind of lyrics you want to read while listening to the music just to really get the meaning, and you spend days thinking about them. or maybe that’s just me. :D

also Petrucci's guitar skills are outta this world, which sadly often overshadows others who are also incredible musicians. I have a soft spot the singer LaBrie cause 1. his voice and singing are magnificent, and 2. he damaged his voice pretty badly but perservered even when critics weren’t very nice to his singing and I respect that.

I'll start with my favourite album (and the one I heard live) - Metropolis Pt. 2: scenes from a Memory. it's a concept album, which if you don't know is an album that has a single central narrative (can be lyrics, musical theme,...). in this case it tells a story of Nicholas, a man who keeps having dreams about a girl named Victoria, and how through hypnotic therapy he discovered he was her in the previous life. Victoria was murdered and her death never solved, so we follow him as he discovers the truth behind her death. I won't spoil it, in case you're curious but don't wanna read the lyrics you can find a synopsis here. I'll just say the story of this album is better than majority of movies.

If you put a gun to my head and made me choose my favourite song on this album it would be the very last one: Finally Free. it's charged with so much emotion, the way LaBrie sings the lyrics; you can tell which part belongs to which character, it's just soooo good! The way each repeats the lines This feeling / Inside me / I finally found my love (life) / I've finally broke free - and I'd go on but I'd get into spoiler territory. so. let's move on with the closing melody (it's not much of a melody, more like static) that becomes the opening of the first song on their next album Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence.

Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence is another concept album. this album. man, how do I even begin to explain it? I can't, you gotta listen to it. have you ever imagined an entire album telling stories of people living with things like alcoholism, post-partum depression, autism, schizophrenia? it may sound intimidating and I won't lie, some songs touch you so deeply it's hard to listen to them (looking at you Goodnight kiss).

and now that my fave albums are outta the way let's talk about my favourite songs in no particular order! (just a note, pretty much everything I’ll say about the lyrics is my personal interpretation)

Beneath the Surface (album: A dramatic turn of Events) - the one that makes me cry like a baby. the one I tefuse to shut up about. the story of two people who are in love, neither aware the other feels the same, both too scared to make a move till it’s to late and their feelings fade. just, listen to it, please. it’s also the least ‘metal’ of their songs, if that’s not the kind of music you’re fond of.

Spirit carries on (album: Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a memory): I can’t say much about it without spoiling the story of the album, so let’s say it was experience of a lifetime singing this song on the concert, off key and out of tune, with your bestfriends beside you, all of you crying. 10/10 experience.

Through her eyes (album: Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a memory) - same as Spirit carries on :D

Finally free (album: Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a memory) - the emotion!! I want to sing this song at the top of my lungs while it makes tears pour down my face. it’s such a good final song to this absolutely brilliant album.

Pull me Under (album: Images and Words) - when that LaBrie voice hits... if you’ve ever heard this song you know what I mean, and if you are yet too, you’ll know which part I mean. you’ll hear it, trust me. (it’s at 2:54)

Vacant (album: Train of thought): ah look, another song that makes me cry. LaBrie wrote this after his daughter fell into coma for 3 hours when she was 7, and let me tell you, you can feel the fear. easily one of their most heart breaking songs. but she’s okay now, don’t worry. :)

Stream of Consciousness (album: Train of Thought) - an instrumental song with guys just flexing their skills.

Wither (album: Black Clouds & Silver Linings) - the story behind this song is Petrucci had trouble coming up with new lyrics so this mad-lad pulled a UNO reverse card and wrote a song on having trouble creating. and as a writer who often hits writer’s block I relate to that.

Count of Tuscany (album: Black Clouds & Silver Linings) - the story of this song could easily be a movie. you meet a young count on your travels and he takes you to his home where his slightly eccentric brother lives, and before you know you’re terrified for your life. I have yet to hear a song that captures the fear of dying as well as this one. 20 minutes of pure bliss and singing at the top of your lungs.

Out of Reach (album: Distance over Time) - you know that feeling of falling for someone who’s out of reach? yeah, that.

Fall into the light (album: Distance over Time) - the line Too much love is not enough for us makes me question what is really important in life and I love it when songs make me think. it’s such a simple line and yet so powerful. (spare some of the creator juice?)

Ministry of Lost Souls (album: Systematic Chaos) - you thought we were done with songs that make me cry? ha, think again! this is the song that sold me on Dream Theater. the lyrics have 2 different interpretations, both of which are heart breaking and thus I won’t talk about them. :)

Prophets of War (album: Systematic Chaos) - I’m not saying it’s about the possible ulterior motives of the Iraq war buuuut... oh no, wait that’s exactly what the song is about.

Endless sacrifice (album: Train of Thought) - just a song about how relationships take work and compromising, especially when one is a musician and often on tours. Petrucci wrote this song for his wife. get you a man who recognises how much you’ve sacrificed to make the relationship work.

Build me up, break me down (album: A dramatic turn of events) - I have no other reason for liking this song other than it is an absolute banger.

Panic Attack (album: Octavarium) - this song includes my favourite singing from LaBrie. goosebumps every time. and also the suffocating feeling of pure panic, the paralysis you feel are so well reflected in the music it’s unreal.

Octavarium (album: Octavarium) - this song has my fave line: It's wonderful to know that I could be / Something more than what I dreamed. and it also takes the award of “Lyrics whose meaning I’ve been trying to figure out for years and still have no clue“. and the orchestral parts of this song... I hope to get a chance to hear it live one day.

I was debating putting some of my favourite lyrics here but I think this post is already long enough. :)

in conclusion, I love Dream Theater and I hope they keep making music!! ♡

Incel Manifesto

I am the BIG INCEL. The perennial incel. I was a virgin before you were born. I was a virgin when the universe was formed. When i close my eyes the world dies with me its hymen still intact.

Incel has always been the default of western civilization. We are the inheritors of this w/o any disparity to what came before. Metaphor about ancient statues and their lil shrimp dicks.

Sir Isaac Newton was an incel. Nikola Tesla was an incel. Jesus Christ was an incel. Has anyone who’s NOT an incel ever created anything worthwhile??

soul

Ripped apart by natural selections icy north winds. Tossed around by autism chromosome waves. Mogged by 4/10 clouds. Masticated by roastie whirlpool.

The Incel project is an indictment of Creation that is, at the same time, rooted in an observant piousness towards its laws and the impossibility of moving outside its boundaries. The duty of Man to accept and affirm the inherent cruelty of the cosmos, and ponder his destiny within it.

For the <0.5/10 genetic sewage, to expose oneself to the flesh-burning mog radiations of the outside world is comparable to Julius Evola walking around the city during bombing raids.

body

Really hope incels start walking the walk and actually go ahead with those elaborate plastic surgery plans they love to talk about soon. In post-modern body modification culture, surgically administered transformations are seen as an ascent towards the narcissistic illusion of a more “authentic” self. We have understood that the vanilla modernist paradigm in which Man is assigned one body, whose form, “health” and integrity it is his duty to preserve unto death, was never going to work.

Until very recently, it was normal for bodies to undergo unwanted dis- and transfigurations due to war and disease, their personal notions of bodily integrity routinely subdued to the amoral whims of the medieval War God. It is this view of the world that the incels, these ferocious dreamers of Galilean proportions, these weavers of cruel, delectable phantasms after my own heart, are returning to, finding themselves thrust into a hostile universe whose rigid biological laws are stacked against them with no humanist justification of “fairness”.

Incel chin osteotomy is then a religious act completely removed from narcissism. It is done out of reverence for a cosmic order radically irrespective of the incel’s interests and feelings. The ontological conduit between God and man takes the form of a leash, one by which Man is dragged to the plastic surgery clinic precisely in order to serve God better. I would like to argue that Incel is the most legitimately religious (anti-humanist) movement of our time in that it is based on an acceptance of human insignificance in the face of the cosmic order.

will

Much has been said about the supposed ‘entitlement’ of incels, but this can easily be reframed in a different context. Incel is, at its heart, a radical human agency denialist movement, seeking to redefine the role of Man in the universe by finding spirituality and reverence in the acceptance of total biological determinism, and beauty in the order of chin curvatures, neural pathways and DNA spirals of differing quality. The total absence of free will means everyone is always already entitled to exactly what they get. Genuine incel is less about demanding more than what is deserved than a retreat into a meditative position, neutral like nature itself.

If you’re willing to sell your purity for some used up 3.5/10 roastbeef: fuck off. This is supposed to be a modern monastic movement, where disciples eventually achieve true serenity and a connection with supernatural powers (wizard) in studying the patterns of the cosmos, of God’s plan; taking in the thorny architectures of inherent hierarchy without ego. It is about seeing the face of God in the cute waterpolo boy who nearly bullied you to suicide in 4th grade.

If you believe such a thing as ‘volcel’ exists in this world utterly bereft of all and any free will, you have reasoning skills akin to a donkey, I’m afraid.

time

Incels see time as a byproduct of the sad compulsion of humanist perception to form linear narratives of ‘progress’ and change. Such narratives are to be deemed illusory and rejected to the best of our abilities. In the Incel conception of time, everything is always already happening at the exact same time, meticulously arranged into a rigid, immutable hierarchy by the will of God himself alone.

This also means that it is pedantic and somewhat shallow to necessarily equate Incel with total sexlessness. Since no narratives ‘connecting’ one moment with the next are real, technically, every man not currently experiencing (undergoing?) direct roastie friction in this very moment is an incel, with whatever horrible baggage that entails.

virginity

I’m a virgin myself but my impression is that sex probably isn’t as big a deal as elliot rodger thought it would be. I look at sex havers and don’t think they are truly happier than i am (I’m a pretty happy retard). They were just born with higher quality DNA but i’m not sure if that is correlated with happiness whatsoever. I hate and envy them because I must but there is no objective ‘truth’ behind my ostensible assumption of their having it better.

All partaking in an act does is destroy the soul and dream of that thing. Only virgins understand the metaphysics of sex, only incels are capable of having a soul. This is why elliot rodger was so dangerous to the system. He had dreams that were unquantifiable and untransferrable, and the system thrives solely on the quantifiable and transferrable. I know y’all want to fuck Elliot now but thats like wishing jesus had the chance to get into nintendo wii instead.

If elliot rodger’s ideas of what sex (and ‘love’) would have been like could somehow be quantified, externalized and turned into a reality for all to simultaneously experience, the entire world would collapse, submerged in the brutal, monolithic singularity of joy.

religion

There is a reason religious, celestial imagination is all over incel culture. Think of st. blackops2cel and compare it to the brash, earthy vulgarity of YASSSS KWEEN or something. It is st. blackops2cel whose hand i am taking. It is through him that i discover weightlessness and liberation from the ballasts of the body. It is with him that i dash through the firmament and enter the pearly gates. Perhaps in the near future, the only two ways to die will be euthanized by the state following a lengthy bureaucratic procedure (hell) or shot by a cute incel at school (heaven).

-------

Now awaiting my gentle ascent into wizardry. Male pattern balding. Hormonal makeup changing. Still worship sathanas and aktion t4 and cut myself under the full moon. Still loathe god for giving me the tard genes and curse the faggot christ for normalizing the enabling of retards. But also know this is definitely all there is for me to which there is a certain closure. Know this basement is, at the end of the day, safe. Know theres not that much left at least.

How does the eventual ascension into the more serene state of wizardry feel for you. My angry incels. My romantic incels. My aching incels. My defeated incels. My broken incels. My incels who just want to see the world burn.

Karma is Oh So Sweet

Note: Not really a revenge story on my part, but I believe this is a fine example of cosmic revenge for a larger hole. Long story, TL:DR at the end.

About seven years ago, I was in my sophomore year of high school. Let me just mention this, I was not your typical student:

I came from one of the poorest family in this town of three thousand. My dad was physically disabled for years before this and had been unemployed since I was in third grade. This left my mom the only working member of my family until my dad was put on disability. My dad, however, did not get put on disability UNTIL my sophomore year of high school, so around eight years, my mom was the only one working. In fact, there were times when I didn’t even get new clothes to wear for a new year as we couldn’t afford it.

I am legally mentally disabled. I was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome in eighth grade and, legally, should have been in some special classes. This led the school to alter my schedule without my permission and resulted in my mom’s wrath to the school.

I am clinically depressed and went through a time when I did not take my medication as it made me aggressive. I have since switch medications and have become a lot calmer as a result.

Now, bullying wasn’t something I wasn’t used to. Ever since fifth grade, when I reached puberty, I had gained weight quickly. People immediately would bully me and tease me. They would even laugh at me for buying books for my younger brother to read. My brother is six to seven years younger than me, depending on the month. My brother was not in school yet and wouldn’t be in school until I was in the seventh grade. This was also a time where we did not have cable or satellite television regularly, so I would often bring books home so my brother could read them as well.

The bullying continued well into high school and this is where Principal Cinch came in. Note, that is not her real name, but the name of the antagonistic principal of Equestria Girls: Friendship Games. However, with how she acted, I would not be surprised if Cinch was based around her.

Cinch had been my paternal oldest cousins’ cheerleading coach and, boy, both of them hated her. My maternal cousin also hated her, especially as she gave my cousin no sympathy when my aunt died when I was in seventh grade. My cousin and I had been extremely close and when her mom died, both of us were greatly affected. She also wanted to drop out after a time as she was sick of being bullied.

When I entered my freshmen year of high school, Cinch decided to stop targeting her and start targeting me. First off, she would ignore me being bullied and would call me a bully. There had been no proof of that and I have a strong guilt complex. If I had hurt someone, I wouldn’t stop until I made it up to them, as I legitimately felt awful. This made me feel like a piece of shit for a long time and still affects me today.

She also did not care if I attempted suicide in class. This was a legitimate situation, where I was trying to strangle myself in my jacket in Geography. The students were cheering and the teacher didn’t care. In fact, when another teacher walked in, she decided to pull me out of the classroom and take me to the principal, as she was disgusted at the acts she saw from my classmates.

Guess what she did?

She didn’t do anything.

As I entered my sophomore year, things got worse. My dad ended up needing to go into surgery in late January/early February and my birthday money went to his surgery. Note: I was actually born in March, but my family had been saving up to throw me a sweet sixteen birthday party. They were proud that i had survived this long, especially with all of the bullying. Because of this, plus my own depression, I spent several days at home to help my dad around and even just take a breather.

Cinch did not like this and resorted to THREATENING me daily. At my school, we had something called AEP. Think of it as ISS, except for up to three months at a time. I had been sent once for kicking a teacher in the shin in seventh grade, but that was when I was on my more aggressive anti-depressants. I’m not going to lie that I deserved it back then, but Cinch threatened me with this JUST FOR CRYING.

Not to mention that the man who ran AEP gave me nightmares to the point I was afraid he would legitimately kill or, sorry for the trigger, rape me. He even used to coach my little brother’s teeball team and made my brother play without his inhaler. My brother has acute asthma and needs his inhaler with him if he does any academic sport. Pretty funny, I have to admit, when the giant six foot football player actually has to go to the bench and pull out a blue inhaler so he can continue playing. My dad even thinks I developed post-traumatic stress disorder for a time because of him.

When my dad was in the hospital recovering from his surgery, I finally confessed to my mother and grandmother about everything that was going on at the school. There is no fury like an angry grandmother and, despite my grandmother being extremely tiny and in bad health due to being a smoker, she was prepared to go to war. My mom, however, let me stay home for more days, chalking it up to rough times during my dad’s recovery.

The last straw, however, came from the vice principal as well. On the day that my dad was taking me out to transfer me to a new school (he had heard from my mom about everything I had endured and he decided enough was enough), he mentioned that his own children were disabled, but they went to school daily. From the tone I heard from my old locker as I cleaned it out, my dad was not happy and said the following: ‘Well, mental disabilities are different from physical disabilities. You have no idea what it’s like to raise a child with autism.’

Cinch decided to chime in that she knew, as she had a step-son with ADHD. Excuse me?

Note: I am not discrediting ADHD as a mental disability, nor am I insulting anyone who has ADHD. My first crush had ADHD and we’re still really good friends. However, if she knew how it felt for her step-son, why didn’t she consider what was going through MY mind? I think this was just an excuse to gain some sympathy.

Needless to say, I flipped the school off as we drove to my new school twenty miles away.

Now, time for the cosmic karmatic revenge.

I had decided to ignore what happened in the school and move on with my life. I made a great number of friends at my new school and we still talk to each other on facebook for the most part.

I graduated high school, got two of the highest grades on my TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) my school had seen and got a free pass to my first college. A government agency was paying for my education and books, so I got to explore what I wanted to do in life.

However, two years ago, my dad tagged me on a news article on facebook.

And I had the widest grin on my face.

'PRINCIPAL OF ********* HIGH SCHOOL FOUND SENDING THREATS TO HERSELF ON LINKEDIN’

As I read the article, my smile grew wider and wider. She had just ruined her reputation as a teacher and was getting her license revoked. She decided to quit, before they could fire her, to save grace.

The best part, people who had dealt with abuse from her were leaving comments and telling their stories. I decided not to, as I was just on cloud nine right now and even I have standards.

I actually saw her a couple of weeks ago while grocery shopping. She decided to act all friendly to me, but i just gave her a cold hard glare.

As I walked off, I said the meanest thing I’ve ever said to an adult and this is the one thing I never regretted saying.

“I guess you got so bored when you couldn’t threaten me anymore that you threatened yourself? Wow, how pathetic.”

My mom gave me a fist-bump as we walked away.

Note: She’s since found work as a guidance counselor. However, she has negative reviews from several people from my old school. She also claims she can help with the power of god and she understands how hard it is for parents to raise children with disabilities.

Before the site deleted it, my maternal cousin had posted this: 'You don’t know how hard it is on the parents when you threaten children with disabilities. No one hire this woman. She threatened my autistic cousin in a near daily basis.’

TL;DR: Principal who threatened me on a near daily basis is found giving threats to herself. ‘Quit’ and lost about twenty years of references because of this.

The Story of my Life (A moment of reality in a sea of fandoms)

TW: CP, incarceration, drama.

I'm not even sure how to start this, so I'll just start.

In August 2009, I met a man. I didn't know it then, but he would become the love of my life, and my mate. I met him at an Anime Convention, and at that time I didn't realize how tightly our fates would entertwine. Let's call him John, shall we? I was 20, and hadn't had a real boyfriend since High School.

We spent most of our free time talking, hanging out, and doing karaoke. We enjoyed the convention thoroughly, and seemed to enjoy each other's company. We went out to dinner with some friends and started talking about Live Action Role Playing games, like Werewolf and Vampire. It was obvious we'd be good friends. We continued the conversation in my hotel room, though I was in my pajamas and in bed while he sat in a chair, both fully dressed. I was dressed as Seras Victoria, and he was Shikamaru. I had blood dripping down my lip (makeup), which I was paranoid about. He asked me if he could kiss me, and I declined. We laughed it off and continued our chat. By the end of the con, he'd given me his AIM name, and I gave him mine. He'd told me about his friends and the LARP that he was going to on a weekly basis. He invited me to the one in Cedar Rapids. I was on cloud nine to know that I'd be able to see him again after con, especially so soon after con.

Fast forward to game on Friday in Iowa City. I was bouncing off the walls, ready to go. I lived in Marion with my family, and could not contain the excitement. I hadn't LARPed in a long time, and the character he had me create was his "Childe", or the one he created in game. None of this is relevent to the story, but it's letting you know that I had fallen for him since the first time I saw him. By the end of game that night we'd already kissed. By the end of August, we were "Dating".

We were happilly dating for the better part of two years. TL;DR: I loved him, and he loved me. We were intimate together. It was awesome. Sadly, he was kicked out of his parents house. In an attempt to help him, I asked a friend of mine, lets call him Marty, to let him stay with him. Marty has two daughters and a strenuous relationship with his ex-wife. This made me happy, as until then John had lived either in Dubuque with his parents or in Cedar Falls with a couple friends of ours. I was overly excited to have him closer to me now. By the end of the time, we had started talking about our future together, and he admitted to a friend of his that he thought he had found "The one". Before I gave myself to him, I made him promise to marry me eventually, on pain of death.

I knew he had a mental problem, slight autism, and loved him regardless. He was the classiest, smartest, and most charming man I know. He still is. I also heard a word thrown around, one I didn't know really well yet. Aspbergers. Some claimed that it didn't exist. That it was a fallacy. I didn't know that it would define the man I loved yet.

At that point, I'd made it a habit to swing by Marty's place before and after work to harass/wake up my boyfriend, and to drop off a sandwich for him afterwards. I'd been doing this for the extent of my time working for a sandwich company nearby as a delivery driver. One morning though, things were off. I'd gotten a call/message from a girl I went to high school with, saying not to go to Marty's. I knew something was off. She offers to take me out for breakfast, which I do reluctantly, knowing that something was terribly, terribly wrong. After breakfast, I ignore her advice and drive over to Marty's, where I see police officers in the driveway. They're loading computers and the like into a truck. I storm up and demand to know what's going on. The detective there asks me who I am, and I lie to him, telling him I'm John's Fiance' and repeat the demand for information. He tells me. Child Pornography. I stare at him, uncomprehending. He asks if John had ever done anything with a child. I say no. He asks other questions along the same line, but I adamtently deny that he has or would do anything to anyone. Marty has a pair of daughters, and the most John had done would be to brush out the long blonde hair of the eldest, as she would not do so herself. He tells me I can't see him, and that I can pick him up at the station. He tells me to wait at the end of the driveway. I will always remember how it looked when they loaded him into the back of the cop car. I knew John had OCD, but do anything sexually? With a CHILD? No. This is something I know to this day he has never and WILL never do.

Alas, I digress. I had a point. I mean it.

I waited for him to be released at the police station, and he told me everything. That he'd downloaded it out of curiosity, he'd looked at the files, glanced over them, only enough to organize them better. Again, OCD. He'd done it once before but deleted it. This time they'd caught him in a Sting operation. He had confessed everything to the officers, thinking that if he told the truth they'd be more lenient with him. That they'd let him off easier. He spilled his guts to the officer in the hope that they'd be easier on him. I face-palmed HARD when I heard that, and almost slapped him. He hadn't asked for a laywer. He had told them everything. He had doomed himself.

He was given an ankle monitor after the first court hearing. The sentencing was almost a year after. He was sentenced to 11 years in Federal Prison, starting July 13, 2011. 9 days before his 28th birthday.

It's been six years, give or take, since that day. We're still hapilly together, and plan to be for the rest of our days. The judge had made her decision before he'd even entered the court room, ignoring the testament of a psychiatrist who came from New Jersey, as well as one he'd seen for years in Illinois. She judged him while ignoring the fact that he has a legitimate mental disability, just because he's a high functioning autistic.

There have been too many cold and lonely nights since then. I long for the day when he returns, sometime in 2019-2020.

Despite how long its been since that day, there are many who will still label him falsely as a Pedophile, a deviant, a violent criminal. I write to state that John is none of those. He is a good man who made a mistake. Nowadays, people who serve time in jail/prison are no longer looked upon as people who have "Done their time", and given another chance. These people, flawed though they may be, should be given another chance. Will he be watched within an inch of his life? Yes. Will I stand by him every inch of the way? Yes. Nothing will change my mind on this, as this is a decision I made long before he was incarcerated.

Let me be clear. I do NOT condone what he did. He made a mistake, and sadly that mistake harmed young children. Did he do it himself? No. Could they have spent time and rescources on finding the bastards who DID Make this stuff instead of just going after the poor saps downloading it? I think so.

I believe that men make mistakes. (Women too, I'm just using a general term). I just write this to make people aware that all men make mistakes, and that they deserve a second chance, regardless of choices made in the past. We need to go back to the days of the past, where a man is released with a clear state after time spent in the hell known as prison. This is why we need reform for the federal system. A majority (I don't have the time right now to get the statistics) don't deserve to be there. Drug offenses, posession of child pornography, murderers. One of these three deserve to be in prison. The other two need help. A majority of these men are mentally disabled, and instead of getting the help they need they're spending their time in Prison, waiting to come home. They need more resources, and I don't feel our current administration is able/willing to do anything to help them.

What I'm calling for isn't to bring him home because I say he's a good man, I'm saying that we need to drastically overhaul the current federal incarceration system and bring the good men, the sick men home to get the treatment they need.

The sky’s the limit: Metro kids with special needs become co-pilots for a day

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Roughly 600 people filed in and out of Hangar 9, home of the Airline History Museum at the Charles Wheeler Downtown Airport in Kansas City, on Saturday, Sept. 7.

They were all there for Challenge Air, an opportunity for children with special needs to take flight and pilot a plane. For one day, the sky is the limit.

For more than 100 years, humans have had the ability to fly. However, most of us don’t have much experience with it, especially those with special needs.

Not Meghan Schmidt.

“This is my third time doing this,” she said as she held a cane that helped her walk.

Schmidt is legally blind, but that hasn’t stopped her yet. In fact, that’s why she’s back.

“You feel free,” the 20-year-old said. It just makes me feel really happy to be flying.”

Chevy Mesias is about to feel it for the first time. He, his best friend’s father, and his best friend’s sister are going up in Austin Plain’s plane. (Yes, that’s his last name is really Plain).

Plain’s seven-seat Piper Chieftain had Plain in the pilot’s seat and Chevy in the co-pilot’s seat.

“Okay, so you ready to go?” Plain said into the headset to Chevy. “We’ve been cleared for takeoff.”

This was Chevy’s first time in a plane.

“This is your first time off the Earth, isn’t it?” asked Plain. “Yeah,” Chevy answered, entranced with the gauges on the dashboard.

The 15 year old with autism wants to be a pilot. Among the clouds, he took in every moment.

“Okay, you want to try to fly this thing?”

“Yeah,” Chevy said with enthusiasm.

The 45-minute flight around the metro roughly followed the I-435 loop. By the time the Piper was over the stadiums, Chevy had the yoke (control wheel).

“What is that over there?” Plain asked his co-pilot.

“Chiefs Stadium!” Chevy said.

“Yeah man! That’s the Chiefs stadium,” Plain responded with a smile. “Can you imagine watching a football game from up here?”

With flying comes freedom. With freedom comes confidence.

Within five minutes of Chevy taking the controls, Plain announced to the crowd on board, “He’s doing great!”

When the plane touched back down, that confidence stayed with Chevy.

“I loved it,” he said. He was eager to do it again. And his favorite part of the flight? “Seeing Kansas City Chiefs stadium.”

That’s what Challenge Air brings these families.

“The light in their eyes,” Joe Dimino said. He has brought his son, Chevy’s best friend, for several years now.

“When something happens for the first time, it’s magical, it’s cool. And this whole thing is awesome because they’re giving kids the opportunity they wouldn’t have otherwise in a comfortable environment.”

With roughly 100 children with special needs in Hangar 9, many were experiencing flight for the first time. However, almost everyone in the Hangar recognized others.

“It’s fun. The kids love it. It’s a community,” Dimino said. “The thing about it, especially with kids of special needs, is building a community. We know all, or a lot of people here. I recommend it to a lot of people.”

Roughly 20 pilots donate their time and planes every year. For pilot Austin Plain, this is a can’t-miss date.

“These kids, once they fly, and when they get on the ground, and get on the ground, I think they know, ‘I can do anything.'”

And Plain saw that happen with Chevy.

“He did a great job, he had so much fun,” Plain said. “And you guys couldn’t see him up there like I could. But the smile on his face was priceless.”

As Dimino said, “Anytime you don’t feel so lonely in this world, and you can get something cool out of it, that’s pure altruism. It’s good.”

My parents like to call me worthless.

Because I can’t drive cars, I’m worthless.

I’ve been called that a lot for reasons other than for my inability to drive cars.

For not doing well in school, for not having any service hours, for not having any awards, for not having friends.

I do well in school. I learn topics way above the norm. My grades sometimes suffer because the topics overwhelm me in difficulty or in workload.

My parents don’t care. My brother, who is quite literally a once-in-a-lifetime prodigy, is the norm, and because I’m not perfect like him, I’m worthless. Even if I get an A, I still get mocked because it’s not a high-level class. If it’s anything below that, I’m mocked, regardless of how elite it is. Even if I get an A in a tough class, I’m mocked because I didn’t take enough of them.

Social situations, at least for me (having aspergers and all), are difficult, and I often interact with people in community service. It’s also new and unusual, and an extension of my already boring day at school to work even longer. So I don’t really like to go to do community service.

My parents don’t care, since my brother has at least 200 hours. My parents don’t care, since my brother has numerous friends. My autism is an excuse to be a lazy sod to them. I am worthless.

I don’t get a lot of awards, with the only ones being honor rolls and certificates of different fields I’ve studied in. But I earn them, and I’m proud that I did well.

My parents don’t care, since my brother has trophies, plaques, certificates, and many, many more. None of my achievements live up to anything. It doesn’t matter that I do better than normal, but it matters only when I’m a prodigy.

So I’m worthless. My grades are shit, with only a meager 3.5 GPA. I have no friends, despite having many people who call me their friend. I have no service hours, despite pushing myself and getting 4 hours done. I have no awards, don’t do well in school, and I’m stupid, as not even honor rolls that say that I’m doing well in school, nor certificates of skill saying that I am smart mean anything to them.

My brother and I were, and still are being neglected proper care.

It’s hard being in this position because we can’t say that, because people will say that we’re being taken care of, despite the fact we aren’t.

Because food is enough. Because a bed is enough. I have a computer, so that’s enough. That’s more than the poorest. So be more grateful. I’m a spoiled brat.

People like to call me worthless because I’m spoiled. That nothing I do means anything. That because I’m not perfect, I’m worthless.

Having heard some form of it over and over, it sticks from time to time.

But I don’t believe it.

I have aspergers. It’s not an excuse. It’s not an oddball condition to be mocked as a joke. At least, not the way my family uses it (solely as a joke to berate me).

I have friends. Maybe I’m not the best at communicating and staying in-touch with all of them. But I have them. And whenever we meet in person, we still talk and hang around.

Even as little as they are, I have service hours. And they are better than nothing. If I had nothing, then I have nothing to show. At least, with the little I have, I have something to show, and I can earn more in the future.

I have awards. They aren’t all honor rolls. I have certificates of general management and food handling. I can do things better than most people do.

And I can drive. I have difficulties staying concentrated on it, but I can still do it. I have a permit, and thus, proof that I know how to drive. My brother still has to use his friends to go places, and yet he isn’t being judged for it.

I feel bitter, miserable, and angry from being called worthless by my family, who I argue is worse than they make me out to be.

My mother married the most incompetent man on Earth in a place where she had free reign on who the marry, has an anti-violence ethic that gets people killed with the passiveness of Rhythm 0, and is a hypocrite.

My father buying lottery tickets out of addiction, thinking the clouds are telling him that he’s going to win the lotto, still can’t speak proper English, completely full of himself, always dreaming but not doing, narcissistic, and hypocritical.

My brother, who, despite his prodigy-level skills, is a sociopath and narcissist, constantly bragging about his worth being higher than mine, where I am below that of trash, and a hypocrite.

My sister, a stupid little immature brat who can’t do shit except jump on the bandwagon, is a spoiled little annoyance, wasting money on virtual games when she could earn her own, with her age being the only excuse on her stupidity.

But let’s say I am worthless.

If that is the case, then a lot of people are below that. People who aren’t just worthless, but are the opposite of being worth something. A negative worth. People who would be better off dead than alive because they’re worse than worthless.

A lot of people, especially my family, like to call me worthless.

I don’t like it, to be frank.

Living For Eternity

Today I was listening to my favorite song by one of my all time favorite bands. The song is called “Flight” by the band Lifehouse. There’s a line in the song that, in my mind, paints a beautiful picture of what Heaven will be like. The line goes like this:

“No more running, no more hiding No more hurting, no more crying No more trouble, no more sighing No more falling, no more striving No more heartache, no more fighting No more fears, only flying“

Now, granted, we won’t literally be flying around with wings like the kind of wings angels are commonly depicted having. (*Spoiler alert* only certain angels and heavenly beings are actually depicted having wings in the Bible. Never are humans who have died and gone to Heaven depicted having wings. But that’s another topic for another time.) But I love the picture the lead singer, Jason Wade, paints of the freedom we experience being in the presence of God. The presence of God removes the weight of every earthly burden that it feels like flying.

Now, try to imagine Heaven and every burden the presence of God frees us from! Just try to imagine the grandness of it all! To really give you a good idea of what it looks like, let’s look through a passage of scripture in Revelation that describes certain aspects of Heaven and use it to paint the best picture of Heaven that we can.

“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

Revelation 21:4 (ESV)

“Death shall be no more…”

In Heaven, death no longer exists! You and everyone else who enter into the presence of God are freed from the power of death and get to live forever and evermore! In Heaven, we will be given new bodies that know not death or decay; bodies that never age, never tire, never hunger, never thirst, and never break down over time; bodies that are in perfect condition and stay in perfect condition for eternity! And let me tell you, eternity is a REALLY long time! Imagine being able to do adventurous things and not have to worry about the risk of you or anyone else dying, because in Heaven, there is no risk! Death no longer exist! You don’t have to worry about a terrorist, serial killer, or run of the mill murderer killing you, because

1) People like that wouldn’t be there.

2) You’d be unkillable.

Nor would you have to worry about being hunted by wild animals, for animals, much like us, will never hunger and will therefore feel no need or desire to hunt and kill to eat. We, and every animal in Heaven, will live in peace and harmony with one another. Lions will dwell with lambs, sharks will swim with seals, wolves will bond with rabbits, eagles will get along with snakes, bears will play with deer, crocodiles will be at peace with zebras. Imagine befriending any animal without worrying about whether it will try to attack or kill you. I mean who hasn’t dreamt of how awesome it’d be to hug a bear, sleep next to a Bengal tiger or ride a great white shark and not be killed by them? I mean seriously, how cool would that be?! I’d totally want to make like Kevin Richardson and befriend a pack of lions in Heaven!

“Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore…”

Picture this. No pain, sickness, or infirmities. None, nada, never! Imagine a world where the worst and most deadly infirmities like AIDS, cancer, and Lou Gehrig’s disease to small and insignificant discomforts like cuts, scrapes, and bruises don’t exist! Wouldn’t it be great to no longer experience colds, flus, infections, pneumonia, asthma, allergies, intolerances? How wonderful would it be to be able to run and exercise and not experience any fatigue or muscle cramps? And ladies, this also means you will no longer experience menstrual cramping and bleeding every month. Our bodies will be made new and will no longer know pain and infirmity. And this isn’t just limited to physical illnesses, this includes mental, emotional, and psychological illnesses too! No autism, no schizophrenia, no dementia, no bipolar disorder, no PTSD, no anxiety, depression, or AD(H)D! There will be no more grieving or crying, for fear pain, tragedy, and heartbreak will cease to exist! Our hearts, minds, and bodies will be at peace in the presence of God.

The funny thing is, many believe that when we arrive in Heaven, we will have eternal rest and no longer work, however, we will work. But since our new bodies will no longer fatigue, it will not be burdensome. We won’t be working to earn a wage either, since we will already have all our needs provided for. And since there is eternal peace, love, and harmony among every man, woman, child, and beast, we no longer have to worry about work conflict. It will be all the benefits and none of the burdens. Work will be enjoyable in Heaven. We won’t work because we have to. We will work because we get to!

“For the former things have passed away.”

Along with sadness, fear, pain, sickness, and death, other things of this world will fade away as well. There will no longer be conflict and war, for all of Heaven will be at peace. There will no longer be political strife, for we wouldn’t be living under the rule of any flawed human leader, we will be living under the rule of God, and no man is going to protest and riot against the King who created him and is the source of his peace, love, and joy. No woman is going to put into question the integrity and authority of the God that created all good things and meets every single one of her needs. He has all the power and authority, but none of the flaws or corruption! He is the perfect Lord and King! We will no longer experience any wrong-doing done against us, for all evil, corruption, and sin will cease in the presence of God. No one will have the desire to commit any sin against another. No war, no genocide, no hatred, no indifference, no treachery, no murder, no theft, no adultery, no abuse, no neglect, no lies… None! All who enter God’s presence are made righteous and are no longer be lead astray by the lies of the enemy (Satan), for the he will forever be defeated and destroyed… Gone! The earth will no longer be cursed. The soil will once again be soft and fruitful. Gardening will always be abundant and bountiful. Plants will never rot. Destructive natural disasters will cease to exist. The earth will not crack, the winds will not destroy, the clouds will not thunder, the rains will not flood, the snow will not bury.

The great truth of it all is that rather than doing all these terrible things listed above, all of creation will instead be praising God. Along with mankind, angels, animals, plants, rocks, and rivers will be bringing glory and honor to God! The streets will be paved with gold, the city structures decorated with precious stones, the gates made of pearl, the fields and trees green as emeralds, the waters shine like diamonds, the skies lit with the glorious radiance of God! There will be no night or day, no sun or moon, no need for lamps or lights, for God will be the source of light. Saints and angels will forever sing “ Glory, Glory, Glory to the Lord God Almighty! Who was, and is, and is to come!” and why wouldn’t they?! I’d imagine we’d all be giving our utmost praise to God the moment we get to marvel at His glory and splendor! I mean, if God’s presence alone is this amazing, just try to think of how amazing God is! We couldn’t even wrap our heads around the great majesty of God! No word I write would do Him justice! His glory is beyond measure! His splendor is off the charts! He is eternal, everlasting, ever present, ever faithful, ever loving, all powerful, all knowing, the Creator and Source of every good thing, like constellations, sunsets, oceans, mountains, canyons, blue whales, redwood trees, and fields of vibrant wildflowers! He is the Great Mathematician that designed galaxies, seashells, lotuses, and pineapples. The Lord over gravity, inertia, physics, chemistry, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics! How could you stand in the presence of such a wonderful God and NOT bring all glory, honor, and praise to Him?!

I’ve seen quite a few churches, pastors, and church-goers try to get people to turn to Jesus by warning them of the consequences of an eternity in Hell. But I want to do the opposite and point people to Jesus by sharing with them the rewards of an eternity in Heaven. I mean, if you had absolute assurance of the glory of God and his presence, you’d immediately lay down your life for Him and give up everything to follow Him! Granted, talking about Heaven or Hell alone will not guarantee my success in pointing others to Christ. No amount of warning, convincing, pleading, or preaching will promise results. You alone have to make the choice to serve and follow God. The only thing that can get between you and God is yourself, and it’s up to you to release your pride and sin and surrender to God to make you righteous and clean. I encourage you, let go of everything that holds you back from God; from every earthly treasure to every worldly pleasure, everything must be placed at the altar.

But it’s worth it!

Heaven is better!

GOD IS BETTER!
