On Luca /Joham: i think the question was would Luca, after having sired his own hybrids, try to hook them up with Joham’s children with hopes of hybrid reproduction without incest?

(Anon is referring to this post.)

Anon has better reading comprehension than I do.

I think this would depend on Luca having heard of Joham and finding Joham's genetics worth the trouble.

I think in the wake of Breaking Dawn there will be a great many vampires wanting to create children for themselves, not just Luca and Joham. Should Luca wish to create a breeding program for his children, he'll have many candidates to choose from, no need to cross the ocean and track down a mad old scientist.

As it is, I'm don't think the guy would want to create a hybrid breeding program.

We know only a few things about Luca, but what we do know is that the guy has been watching over his family almost two thousand years. His family is his priority. More, though, the fact that his line has survived for 1600 years makes me suspect a breeding program is in place already. We know Luca interferes with their lives, he is their padrone, that is the entire point of him.

We also know that over the course of sixteen-hundred years there will have been people who wanted to emigrate, who wanted to marry someone entirely unsuitable, who died before they could have kids, and so on.

In order for Luca to still have a family line after 1600 years, I feel confident in saying he's been interfering. A lot.

I think new marriages are approved by Luca and that the father who wanted to take his wife and kids to America are... discouraged. I think the family tree looks like a pretzel, because without cousin marriages the line will end up very diluted. Luca likely practices honor killings, as it's the most effective way of preventing and punishing women from birthing children from outside the family.

I think that in order for someone to watch over a group of people for sixteen hundred years, a need for control has to be at the core of that person's motivation. That, and a sense of ownership over the people in question.

If Luca decides to sire a hybrid it'll be because he wants to reintroduce his DNA to the family line. The people he wants his hybrid reproducing with are the humans in his family.

He might not do it, since a hybrid would be harder to control than humans are, but... hybrids are weaker and slower than vampires, they need to sleep and eat frequently, and he'd be on hand to raise them. The real problem with creating a hybrid would be that Luca's got what he wants already, if he's happy with things the way they are and doesn't feel a need to reintroduce himself to the family gene pool then he has no need to start siring hybrids.

All of this to say that Luca's interests are not in creating a hybrid army, that's Joham. Luca's interest is his family.

(It's worth noting that Renata, who has a very powerful gift, was turned before she had children. There is no mention of Luca turning her closest relatives after she turned out to be gifted, either.

Makenna found a gifted partner in Charles, and Luca did not make her have a child by him before turning her.

Could be Luca didn't know either of these were gifted, but... if he was breeding for a gifted family, then he would have made it his business to know. I think his sole motivation with his family is the family itself.)

Nobody recovers from a manslaughter without legal and medical attention and nobody is above the law for causing one. This is a hate crime.

8000 Years Of Mysogeny

I’ve given up worrying about the existence of God. Discussions about diety I leave to the young. After decades spent thinking about the inscrutable, all I gleaned from religious precept was that misogyny rises from it like a noxious odor. I’m not alone in this opinion. Donna Nolan Fewell, a scholar of the Old Testament writes, The Bible, for the most part, is an alien text (to women), not written by women or with women in mind. Christopher Hutchins cast a withering eye on the Scriptures, as well, and arrived at an ancillary conclusion. The cure for poverty has a name; it’s called THE EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN. Now, name me a religion that stands, or ever stood for that. Feminist writer Barbara G. Walker also added to my knowledge. She pointed out that Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine held grudges against women and that holy father John Scotus Eriuge made men the following promise. ..when the heavens finally open in glory, women will be eliminated. (“Does Religion Make People Kind, Generous?” by Barbara G. Walker, FreeThought Today, March/April. pg. 14.) A prediction like that makes God irrelevant to the future of womankind and raises a question. If the weaker sex is to be barred from heaven, why can’t men be more charitable to them on earth? So far, the patriarchal doctrine has done nothing except insist that women are inferior creatures unworthy of simple justice Honor killings are an example. That a woman who has been raped should pay with her life while her attacker goes free is perverse. What’s more, the myth that sustains it is absurd. Reason balks at the suggestion that all women should be punished because one plucked an apple from its branch. In Western societies, Honor killings aren’t prevalent, but other injustices prevail. The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is a heinous example. No longer allowed to control their bodies, women in the United States have been returned to the status of chattel. After 8,000 years of brainwashing, it’s not surprising that many women have accepted their inferiority, helped by Judas Goats who betray their sisters for a smattering of patriarchal privileges. Phyllis Schlafly, an attorney in the 1960s, is an example. She railed against the Women’s Movement and warned equality was the enemy of domesticity. Amy Coney Barrett, U. S. Supreme Court Justice, appears to follow in Schlafly’s footsteps. Her religious conviction that a husband is his wife’s master made her vote to overturn Roe v. Wade inevitable. Katie Britt, U.S. Senator from Alabama, may be another of their ilk. That she chose to deliver the Republican response to Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address from her kitchen is noteworthy. My comments about these women may seem unfair. Nonetheless, I’ll wager none of them found the time to make biscuits from scratch. If they are or were to be blind to their hypocritical positions, I must blame 8,000 years of patriarchy. Masculine paranoia predates the Women’s Movement, so I’m inclined to question the conclusion of a 2024 study laying blame for misogyny at women’s feet. If true, the cause and effect is unclear to me. Why should a woman’s desire for equality disconnect men from society and send them into private lives of underachievement, underemployment, online addiction, and white supremacy? I propose we search for masculine hostility within the male psyche. At the subliminal level, is it possible men doubt their superiority or harbor the fear that nature favors women? Consider this solitary fact as evidence. The male-defining Y chromosome is disappearing. The fault has nothing to do with women. It lies within the human genome. The female X chromosome reproduces through genetic recombination, but the Y chromosome uses a cut-and-paste procedure. The latter is inferior to recombination because it produces errors that cannot be corrected. Over time, these flaws accumulate so that, according to scientists, within another 4.6 billion years women will find themselves alone in the universe. Let me hasten to assure my male friends that neither I nor a majority of women rejoice in that outcome. Nonetheless, nature is experimenting with unisex reproduction. Enter the Japanese spiny rat, the first among mammals to shed its Y chromosome yet continue to procreate. And so, my male cohorts, given your prospects for the future, it’s time to consider the olive branch. Women are willing to forgive 8000 years of neglect if over the next 4.6 million years you join us in peace. Together we can confront a deaf, dumb, and blind universe confident that we are unique because we know how to love. If any man doubts the generosity of this offer, let them remember this. A woman’s voice is the first sound a child hears in the womb. At the closing, a woman’s tears may be the last sound a man hears.

Tweet translation (autotranslated by Google):

One of the Zuaiter family killed his wife, the mother of his children, with ten bullets. And there are people from the clan who are posting a video of the victim’s brother opening the killer’s coffee as evidence that there is no trace or problem between them after the crime because he said “wash their shame” and if he had not killed his wife, the brother would have been killed!!!!! And that the perpetrator's life continues as normal, and no one talks about the crime!!!!

Published: Mar 26, 2023

[ Note: Autotranslated by Google. ]

Yesterday dawn, Saturday, March 25, at around 2:30, a horrific crime took place in the Choueifat desert locality. Zainab Ali Zuaiter (26 years old, Lebanese) and a mother of three children, was killed by her husband, called Hassan Musa Zuaiter (27 years old, Lebanese) from the town of Baalbek happened when the latter fired about ten bullets at his wife, killing her instantly. Soon, the security forces and criminal investigations came to the crime scene, and the victim, disfigured by a gunshot wound to the head and eyes, was transferred to the nearest hospital, covered in her own blood. General for the surroundings and relatives of the couple. The circumstances of the crime In the details, one of the residents of the area, a 55-year-old government employee, told Al-Modon that “the crime took place between two thirty and three in the morning yesterday, when the perpetrator, who works in several professions, most notably public transport, was sitting with his friends in a café.” A relative, to receive a call from an unknown person. Dazzled and pale in face, and clearly showing discontent and rage, the offender ran towards his nearby house, and after a few minutes we heard the loud scream. The witness added: "The husband fled with his three children, leaving his wife, covered in her blood and killed, on the bed, in their apartment, which is located next to the "Zaiter" supermarket. When the security forces arrived at the vicinity of the apartment, the husband and his family were hidden from view. This is while another neighbor suggested that the motive for the crime was “honor”, at the expense of the neighbor with whom Al-Modon contacted, refusing to disclose any other data.

While most of the residents near the couple's apartment indicated that the husband had been suffering from several nervous disorders for a long time, he could not bear to receive an anonymous call informing him of his wife's betrayal. They reported that the motive was that the husband searched his wife's phone (which had disappeared from the crime scene, according to security sources), and found pictures of her without a veil. This angered him, and made him kill his wife in front of his children, the eldest of whom is less than seven years old. While the husband disappeared from view, fleeing from the security forces that issued a search and investigation report against him, Al-Modon's security sources indicated that they are still examining the crime scene, the apartment, which was sealed with red wax. Honor killing! The follow-up sources, who refused to mention her name, reported that the victim was buried yesterday, a few hours after her death, in the "Hay al-Salam" cemetery adjacent to the Choueifat desert locality, while the victim's brother, Hassan Ali Zuaiter, refused to hold the funeral, until he took his revenge on the killer. While the killer is still hiding from view, the fate of their three children is unknown. Most of those Al-Modon contacted tried to evade the answer, and even created justifications for the husband, “in his capacity as a victim of his wife’s betrayal and treachery,” hiding behind some stereotypical and repetitive scenarios that emerge at every similar crime, contenting themselves with saying that the killer with the intention of taking his honor is the authority of the truth. And his owner, who was stolen from him by force, at the hands of his wife. This is while it was difficult to communicate with the grieving and angry family of the victim, who insisted on taking their rights into their own hands.

It is noteworthy that Article 562 of the Lebanese Penal Code dealt with “honor crimes”, which allowed the perpetrator of this crime to benefit from the excuse that is exempt from punishment. i.e., whoever surprises his husband, one of his ascendants, descendants, or sister in the act of witnessed adultery or in the case of unlawful sexual intercourse, and kills or harms one of them unintentionally, while the perpetrator of the murder benefits from a mitigating excuse if he surprises his husband, or One of his ancestors, descendants, or sister is in a suspicious situation with another.

However, according to Law No. 7/99 issued on 20/2/1999, Article 562 was repealed and replaced with the following text: “He who surprises his spouse, one of his ascendants, descendants or sister in the case of witnessed adultery or in the case of unlawful intercourse shall benefit from a mitigating excuse.” So I unintentionally killed or harmed one of them.” Where the amendment dealt with the excuse excuse to become a mitigating excuse in addition to the cancellation of the second paragraph of the old Article 562. This horrific crime, which has not been discussed so far, under the shadow of secrecy adopted by those close to the perpetrator and the victim alike for fear of shame and scandal, and with all its overlapping indications and suspicions, directly reflects the reality of rights in Lebanon, women’s rights in particular, rights It is dependent on popular chaos, security chaos, official connivance, legislative reaction in enacting fair laws, the absence of a legal, judicial and security deterrent for potential perpetrators, and even the dominance of defunct laws, such as “honor and revenge” and other social ills that spread in the northern Bekaa and the southern suburbs of Beirut, and have not been addressed to this day.

"iT's CuLtUrE nOt ReLiGiOn!!1!"

https://quranx.com/18.74,80-81

So they set out, until when they met a boy, al-Khidhr killed him. [Moses] said, "Have you killed a pure soul for other than [having killed] a soul? You have certainly done a deplorable thing."

[..]

And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief.

So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.

https://quranx.com/5.32-33

Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.

Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment

https://quranx.com/Hadith/Bukhari/USC-MSA/Volume-9/Book-84/Hadith-64/

Narrated `Ali:

Whenever I tell you a narration from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), by Allah, I would rather fall down from the sky than ascribe a false statement to him, but if I tell you something between me and you (not a Hadith) then it was indeed a trick (i.e., I may say things just to cheat my enemy). No doubt I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "During the last days there will appear some young foolish people who will say the best words but their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have no faith) and will go out from (leave) their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, where-ever you find them, kill them, for who-ever kills them shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection."

https://quranx.com/Hadith/AbuDawud/USC-MSA/Book-38/Hadith-4349/

Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib:

A Jewess used to abuse the Prophet (ﷺ) and disparage him. A man strangled her till she died. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) declared that no recompense was payable for her blood.

https://quranx.com/Hadith/AbuDawud/USC-MSA/Book-38/Hadith-4348/

Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas:

A blind man had a slave-mother who used to abuse the Prophet (ﷺ) and disparage him. He forbade her but she did not stop. He rebuked her but she did not give up her habit. One night she began to slander the Prophet (ﷺ) and abuse him. So he took a dagger, placed it on her belly, pressed it, and killed her. A child who came between her legs was smeared with the blood that was there. When the morning came, the Prophet (ﷺ) was informed about it. He assembled the people and said: I adjure by Allah the man who has done this action and I adjure him by my right to him that he should stand up. Jumping over the necks of the people and trembling the man stood up. He sat before the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: Messenger of Allah! I am her master; she used to abuse you and disparage you. I forbade her, but she did not stop, and I rebuked her, but she did not abandon her habit. I have two sons like pearls from her, and she was my companion. Last night she began to abuse and disparage you. So I took a dagger, put it on her belly and pressed it till I killed her. Thereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Oh be witness, no retaliation is payable for her blood.

https://quranx.com/Hadith/IbnMajah/DarusSalam/Volume-3/Book-20/Hadith-2540/

It was narrated from `Ubadah bin Samit that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

“Carry out the legal punishments on relatives and strangers, and do not let the fear of blame stop you from carrying out the command of Allah (SWT).”
