INTERVIEW WITH SHIGENOBU MATSUYAMA - PRODUCER ON SILENT HILL THE ARCADE
I had the pleasure of interviewing Matsuyama-san, one of the producers on Silent Hill the Arcade! Here's what he had to say :)
Q - How did the idea for Silent Hill The Arcade come to be?
A - During the arcade boom of the 1990s and the 2000s, a desire was born to combine the unique worldview of the Silent Hill series - which was already a very strong IP console game-wise – with the haunted houses one might find in an amusement part. We wanted something that could provide an easy and pleasurable experience to an extremely varied range of customers… as in, the casual users. This is the idea that brought Silent Hill Arcade (SHA in short) to life. However, since our goal was to create a new kind of experience that could not be replicated anywhere else, we designed a game that could make the most effective use of the 5.1ch surround sound system, which was something that arcade games hadn’t adopted until that point, with a type of cabinet that could be somewhat isolated from the rest of the arcade via the use of curtains.
Q - Roughly how long did development for the game take?
A - At the time, the development cycle of an arcade game was so short it would be unimaginable today. The shortest one was around six months, the longest about one year and a half. I think SHA took us around one year and two months.
Q - What parts of development were most enjoyable for you?
A – Usually, arcade games are tested a certain number of times, both during development and just before launch in each and every country where their release has been scheduled (which, for SHA, meant Japan, the US, the UK, Italy, Spain, France, Hong Kong and Singapore). In order to keep the development budget for SHA as low as possible, however, I personally traveled alone to the US for the market testing, assembled the cabinet all by myself, repaired it when it was out of order, and stood next to it for days on end, pen and paper in my hand, ready to collect the players’ data. Game development, nearly 20 years ago, was very much an analog experience. It was also hard work, but when I look back, I have so many good memories of that time.
Q - Do you remember any kinds of ideas that you and the team wanted to include in the game, but didn’t in the end?
A – I’m sure this will sound obvious, since SHA was based on a pre-existing IP, but since the framework was pretty much already set when it came to characters and plot, we had to be extremely careful not to deviate from it so that we wouldn’t create inconsistencies. Personally, I would have loved to take the story in slightly wilder directions and include new and fresh ideas.
Q - I loved seeing so many locations from Silent Hill 3 and 4 make an appearance in the game! Was the team who worked on those two games involved in making any decisions for Silent Hill The Arcade?
A - We of course personally consulted select staff members of Konami, like for example Producer Yamaoka, with whom I had been acquainted with since before SHA. However, most development teams had a mix of internal and external members that changed pretty fluidly with each and every year, so there was no real collaboration between the various teams.
Q - What level of freedom were you given for creating this original story within the Silent Hill universe? Were you given any specific directives on what you could or could not integrate/use in the story?
A - If I have to express my personal point of view on the matter, however, should you compare the storyline for SHA with the timeline of the other games, you would indeed notice a few minor inconsistencies that we were not able to completely solve. That’s something I still have regrets about.
Q - Tell me about translating a traditional survival horror experience into the rail shooter genre and control style. What kind of considerations did you have to make for this?
A - The biggest challenge was by far to design a game system that could be as simple as possible, and to regulate the level of challenge in a way that felt balanced, because we didn't want to force complicated controls or an exceedingly high difficulty level on the casual arcade players. Moreover, there was another balance we had to strike perfectly: more specifically, the one between the aforementioned "haunted house" element - the one that was unique to SHA, with its sequences of terrifying events - and the thrilling playstyle that a rail shooter should provide to the player.
Q - As a final product, what are your personal thoughts on the game?
A - I think it had a state-of-the-art sound system, that the design of the cabinet, with its creepy-looking curtains, made people want to take a peek inside, and that the rail shooting system was simple and could be enjoyed by virtually everyone. I think we managed to combine these various elements with a one-of-a-kind worldview of Silent Hill in a way that was in my opinion pretty good! Of course, each and every member of the staff did their part, and I thank all of them wholeheartedly.
Q - Are you working on anything currently that you’d like me to mention?
A - Feel free to write whatever you prefer! If anything, I should thank you, since you allowed me to walk down the nostalgia lane and recall memories from almost 20 years ago that had been dimmed down by the passage of time. Thank you very much!

Pedri x Black Reader - Our Secret Part 2/10
Part 3 will be Pedri's POV which I'm really excited about! 😊
Tumblr media
The story of Marcella and Pedri. As students of the most prestigious high schools in the country, the two are very focused on developimg their indvidual talents. Marcella has music whilst Pedri has football. However, worlds collide when Pedri's secret is revealed, he has diabetes.
Enjoy!
Of course Marcella had friends. However,  they were also her biggest rivals, and right now they were winning.
"Thank you Marcella, that's enough." To her friends amusement, Señor Garcia stopped playing the piano, cutting her singing short.
"Is there something wrong, señor?"
"Yes, Marcella. I specifically asked you to perform an original song. This was not it, meaning you've failed this week's assignment."
"But señor...."
Her friends, Beatrice and Olga, giggled behind her back. All three of them were meant to perform this week's assignment in front of their teacher. Marcella however, was the only one to fail.
"I'll be forced to fail you unless you can present an original piece by the end of this week."
"Right" She nodded. With that she was free to leave the auditorium, expected to get back to work on her musical piece whilst Señor Garcia helped Beatrice and Olga perfect theirs.
"...by the end of this week." Marcella said, taunting the voice that was Señor Garcia's. Of course she knew what the week's assignment had been, however, her song wasn't finished yet.
"How am I supposed to finish writing a song that I can't relate to?" She asked no one.
"Lie." Someone yawned.
Marcella screamed.
She had left the auditorium only to return to the abandoned classroom next door, where Señor Garcia stocked all the instruments. There were no lights, except for the string of it shining through a small basment window. She was sitting behind the piano when there was movment on the old sofa in the corner of the room.
"Aghh, please. Can't you see that I'm trying to sleep?"
"Pedri?"
He sat up, letting his cupped hands drop from his ears. He looked fresh from a nap, wearing a black sweater, his dark hair tousled up underneath the hood.
"Mierda, you scared me!" Marcella tried recollecting her exhilarated breath. "What are you doing in here?" The room belonged to the music program and the music program only. The school prioritized football above all other curriculums, with their own private lounges and newly renovated locker rooms. Couldn't Pedri Gonzalez have found a better place to sleep over there?
"The door was open." He shrugged and rubbed his tired eyes before pushing off with his arm to sit up straight. "Let's hear it then."
"Hear what?"
"This unfinished song of yours."
"What?"
"The one that Señor wants you to finish by the end of the week."
"How did you..."
"Thin walls." He smirked.
"Still, you came here to take a nap? In the room right next to the music auditorium."
"Like I said, the door was open."
Marcella stayed put behind the piano, a skeptical look on her face as Pedri made the effort to stand. He was sort of slow in his movements, supporting himself against a wall, like an old man with an aching body.
"Got any snacks?" He asked, walking over to the piano, cranking his neck and snapping his knuckles.
"No." Marcella muttered.
He plotted down beside her. Without invitation, she might add.
"A shame."
"What is?" She turned to look at him, heart fluttering when he smiled at her.
"The fact that you don't have any snacks."
Heat rose to her face, but Marcella was quick to diverge her attention back to the sheet music in front of her. Grabbing them, she said, "If you don't mind. I have a song to write."
"I don't mind." Pedri sat back as if not to disturb.
Marcella turned back to him with a frown on her face. "I meant like, can you leave?"
The line between his eyebrows wrinkled a little. It left Marcella feelig guilty. "I just really need to finish this assignment." She mumbled, in all honesty. Writing a song wasn't easy to begin with, rewriting one also took time. Time that she didn't have.
"Play it for me."
"W..what?"
Pedri said so with such grace. "Play the song for me, perhaps it's not that bad? Maybe it's just señor Garcia who has mistake his wives underwear for his own?"
Marcella chuckled with uncertainty. "What does that mean?"
Pedri mimicked her expression, smiling as he leaned towards her. He whispered, "It means he's up tight....in the ass."
She shook her head, regretting having fueld his ego by laughing at such a cheap joke.
"Now you haven't got all day Marcella. Are you gonna play me the song or not?"
She was hesitant, but only because the way Pedri said her name threw her off. Pressing down on the piano keys, she regained some composure. Marcella didn't look to him, avoiding eye contact at all cost. However, she could see out of the corner of her eye that Pedri observed her causiosully, not saying a word until she'd finished playing.
"Aren't you supposed to sing to it?" His eye traveled to the sheet music where there was lyrics written underneath every measure.
"Like I said, it's not finished." Marcella let her hands rest on her knees.
"No? What's missing?" He suprised her that the conversation between the two was still ongoing, with Pedri sounding genuinely interested.
"Well first of all, I lost about three sheets in the parking lot the other day." And she had plans to make Gavi pay for that. "And overall I don't like the instructions for this assignment."
"Which are."
"Well..." She cleared her throat. "Señor Garcia wants it to be a love song."
"I see." Pedri nodded.
"You do?"
"Sure. You're obviously struggling to write about something you've never experienced before."
"I've obviously felt loved." Marcella corrected, a bit taken aback that he could pin point her struggles so accurately. "I mean my parents love me and my dog..."
"Yes, but that wasn't the assignment, was it?"
Marcella frowned. "What do you know anyway?"
"Like I said, the walls are thin and it's not the first time I've taken a nap in here. I've been hearing señor Garcia go off on you guys for the past few weeks now."
"I know." She groaned. "His ass is really uptight"
Pedri's eyes widened, along with his face that transformed with his bubbly laughter.
"What?" She blushed. "You said it first, not I."
"I know." He laughed. "But it's sounded way better coming out of your mouth." He stared at it, her mouth. And for a second all time stood still. However, Pedri was the first one to break eye contact. "So let's take a look at the lyrics then."
She snorted "What do you know about writing lyrics?"
"I know I'd never rhyme, time, with crime or crazy with lazy, when I'm trying to write a heartfelt love song. And why are you singing in English anyway?" To her suprise, he really looked genuinely displeased, forcing Marcella to come up with a logical answer. "Well I sound better singing in English."
"Bullshit."
Her eyes widened.
"You sang the national anthem in Español, no?"
"Yes, and?"
"And..." His voice lost volume.
"Sorry, what was that?"
He mumbled something under his breath.
"I'm sorry Pedri, I can't really..."
"I said..." He groand, "You sounded beautiful....singing in Spanish."
And for the second time all space and time seized to function. Marcella didn't know what was happening or what it meant, but it made her uncertain of herself in the presence of Pedri. He was tampering with her emotions somehow, making her feel things that she didn't want to feel.

The (unserious) notes of Beyond Evil, Episode 2!
Previous Episode || Next Episode
bro this body really dragged everyone out there. all our side characters are here.
"there's mud everywhere" my guy youre in a field what do you expect
"could it be a pervert obsessed with feet?" that doesnt narrow down the list that much in this day and age...
Lee Dongsik was sexy in his 20s 30s and 40s not every man can pull that off. Lee Dongsik the man you are
oh and he's here too (Juwon)
Dongsik is also a little shit and i love him for that.
“Do you like me that much?” Houston I’m deceased.
HE DIDNT SAY NO
Man we get flirting in Episode Two damn we get fed well as a community.
“Isnt she your sister, Lee Yuyeon?” LIARRRR
“The recording room isn’t your bedroom.” As in both of theirs? Because I have read the fics 👀
How warm is the recording room is my question. Because if its like my bedroom then shits freezing
I have said this once and will say it again lee Dongsik is a sexy mf
“I got lured?” Juwons face pls he is so confused.
THE SCORE AND SOUNDS GOD PROPS TO THE MUSIC PPL
Juwons disgust is so amusing.
Bro it must suck to be talked about when you are right here.
Part of me is curious as to how Dongsik went from Lee Dohyun Dongsik to Shin Hakyun Dongsik. Like we get hints in flashbacks but not much more.
We act like Juwon had this sudden shift in how he reacts to Dongsik after his Busan trip but it was there the whole time just a lot more subtle.
Juwon looking at dirt is me looking at Jinmuk. Fricken gross.
“Touch it (my phone) again and your fingers will…” shit man
Also unpopular opinion incoming: not the biggest fan of minjeong. Shes tragic and interesting enough but she is also the type of person I would avoid being friends with
We dont give Jeongje enough credit for him standing up to his mother passive aggressively.
THE FIRST RAIN SCENE ITS HERE
All good things happen in the rain in this show and I stand by that.
This one melts my heart (and Juwon’s too)
He just stares at Dongsik smiling… perhaps he cant be all that bad hey Juwon.
HAN KIHWAN GTF OUT OF HERE
Also juwon can I have that jumper pls? At least tell me where u got it (that blue one he wore with the stripes on his arm).
Juwon in casual clothing is smth we dont see enough of especially at the start of the show
Juwon proving he is just as insane as Dongsik in this scene but also just as driven about solving what really happened. Two sides of the same coin.
Also we do not give the camera ppl enough credit either the way they shoot the scenes is incredible and rlly captures both the character and their thoughts/feelings as well as their situation and vibes of the scene.
“I don’t like solving riddles” juwon aint that ur job…?
Tiny hc: jeongje learnt some english words and slips them into his conversations to add fuel to his lie of ‘studying in america’
“There isnt a single cop in the country wjk would prioritise such a case.” Jeongje says to Juwon, who is prioritising such a case.
Juwon nearly losing his cool is so interesting and important to me.
Juwon doesnt fuck with people telling him to stay quiet thats for sure.
Ok so Dongsiks mum sees Dongsiks dad frozen to death and calls him 동식(이?) 아버지 (Dongsiks dad). like imagine u mother calls ur dad "(your name)'s dad!" is this a thing in korea or a script choice?
Tfw you hear the tragic backstory of ur suspect/future bf
part of me thinks dongsiks limp/leg injury might be psychosomatic, at least a little bit.
jihwas contact name for dongsik being 똥식 is so funny. (동 is how its supposed to be 똥, pronounced only slightly differently means shit/poop)
Underrated friendship Jaeyi and Jihoon moment.
God I hate clubs sm (I have been and ended up stressed depressed and just on the verge of tears by the end of it and I was dead sober)
Dongsik is in protective dad mode and he stands for womens rights (and probably womens wrongs) and i love that.
I am aware that this episode 2 notes is mostly just me loving Dongsik.
Everyone beind done with minjeon is also me.
"Dongsik I wasnt cheating on you..." girl youre giving Juwon the wrong ideas. also dongsik would deserve better than you anyway
Juwon rn "this girl is insane... idk what i expected because this is manyang but she rlly is and I am not dealing with it"
Juwon not being a physical touch person and valuing personal space a lot and Dongsik being an exception is everything to me.
also underrated duo moment of Juwon and Jihoon
Honestly Juwon Jaeyi Jihoon friendship trio should be a thing in fics
Actually Dongsik isnt that much shorter than Juwon... huh...
The shot where they are both looking down... I should use that as my laptop wallpaper tbh
Minjeongs death sequence gives me the chills every time.
Them talking about the death body and Jinmuk being in the shade in the background with Jaeyi... means smth but im not smart enough yet.
Dongsiks case wall for Yuyeon in his basement genuinely makes me cry knowing the truth about it
'hey bitch 😏' is the energy we have rn
Bro cannot control his emotions well around Dongsik
“Let me give you a thorough tour of our jurisdiction” is Dongsik code for, ‘follow me I need to show you something’
I remember this scene being the netflix preview (the one where juwon states that he wants to move to manyang) for beyond evil and I remember thinking… what a shit scene to preview to convince ppl to watch the show. However… I think otherwise because…
“Just what about me interests you so much? I don’t think it’s that I’m a cop. Perhaps that I’m a suspect?”
“Let me ask you. Just what about me interests you so much? You obviously seem to be dying to know what I was up to at Foreign Affairs.”
THAT PART IS CONVINCING ASF HELLO
And then… pain.
Juwon hesitating and genuinely looking torn deciding what to do. Does he call it in or… what? Comfort Dongsik? Probably considered how he reacts upon hearing Dongsik start to cry before realising why. His entire face screams “I’m so sorry…”
And Dongsik oh my god. Even though we know he put them there I think this is the first time he properly grieved it, even if only a little.
He probably did it to bust the case back open again so he and the vicitims can get justice.
And fin. See you next ep!

Sneak Peek Sunday
Tumblr media
Hoppy Easter to all the Tumblrs that celebrate! 
I am behind on a ton of deadlines posting-wise. I’m just dealing with a LOT: medical issues, legal issues, family drama, and hot-ass messiness at work. I’m also pondering my future on tumblr, but for now I do have at least 4 more fics that I intend to write, and post here: an MC lunch ask, #KLAW submission, @bebepac​’s birthday fic, and possibly a Drake-centric fic inspired by a song (or two) currently on repeat in my Spotify.
All of that is to say I DO have something to share: snippets from two fics that WILL be posted this week: my submission for Maxwell Beaumont’s birthday appreciation and my Luck of the Draw fic.
Snippets are below the cut, and a little longer than six sentences as I only have two entries this time around. As always everything is in a state of rough draft; final versions may vary.
Birthday Boy
Once again, it’s my birthday. A milestone one: The big 3-5.
I remember when I thought 35 was old.
I’m celebrating at the Great House that belongs to the duchy King Liam bestowed upon my wife. I’m celebrating with family, friends, and members of Cordonian Court. How I’m greeted lets me know which category a person falls into.
The East Ballroom has been transformed from cold marble and stiff curtains into a discotheque, complete with sequined balls suspended from the ceiling, a DJ, and a dance floor with color-lit tiles. At the moment, the children of Court are playing hopscotch on it while the adults partake of the buffet tables and open bars.
As I make my way through the throng, I grin, shake hands, and thank people for coming. I see my children in my peripheral vision and feel my heart swell to near bursting; my daughter is the spit and image of her namesake, Annabelle. My mother. Her tobacco-colored ringlets bounce as she skips over squares colored green, blue, red, purple. Her sapphire-blue eyes squint in concentration, and her plump lips part as she emits laughs and squeals.  
Her brother Dimitri, two years younger, follows behind her as he clumsily mimics her movements while yelling it’s his turn. He has dark hair and brown eyes like his mother, but he gets his personality from me.
I press forward, my wife now in my sights. Her dark hair is in an upsweep knot, and her cream-colored gown flows over her body. I pause to take her in and marvel at how far she’s advanced since Social Season. She’s no longer coarse and rough-edged; now she’s polished and cultured.
Sometimes.
She’s talking to the King and Queen, and I can tell from her posture the conversation is either agitating or exciting her. Her hands are gesticulating wildly; I already know words are tumbling from her lips as if they were balls being lobbed from a machine.
The King’s eyes roll in amusement while my wife talks; I assume it’s excitement that has my partner so animated. Liam tugs his Queen closer to him just as Crown Princess Eleanor tugs at her mother’s dress and pulls the monarchs’ attention.
As I draw closer to the trio, I wonder for the zillionth time how she’s with me.
After all, she came to Cordonia for Liam.
She stays in Cordonia because of Liam.
Three Blind Mice (LotD, Chapter 6 of The Commoner’s Wife)
“I appreciate your obvious…. attraction to me, Your Highness, but my heart and affections have been claimed by another.”
“You mean your best friend’s wife? Listen to me, Your Majesty….no royal or noble worth their salt will accept a divorced commoner as Queen. Your court will be the laughingstock of Europe and you…. you’ll be the biggest scandal since King Edward VIII. At least he was lucky enough to choose love over Crown, but you don’t have that luxury, do you? Your brother beat you to it.”
“What I do with my personal life, especially when it takes place in Cordonia, is no one’s business but mine. And if you wish our countries to remain in good standing, you will stop talking,” Liam growled.
“Even when it involves fucking other men’s wives?” Marguerite arched an eyebrow.
She lowered it when Liam’s eyes narrowed dangerously. The Princess still needed to make an advantageous match; Liam was the best of the lot. When she spoke again, her tone was more conciliatory.
“Darling, I’m offering you not only a union, but an alliance … a chance to rule over two countries, not just one. We don’t need to be in love and arrangements can be put in place, but only one of us can be scandalous, and I’ve already claimed dibs on that.”
The Princess smiled brightly before downing the remainder of her beverage. She looked around the room before setting the champagne flute on the table in front of her and gathering her purse.
“I’m sure the three of you have much to discuss; I’ll see myself out,” she spoke to everyone and no one.
She began rummaging inside her bag, murmuring to Liam that he could email her a non-disclosure agreement. “As juicy as this morning has been, I wouldn’t tell anyone; however, I understand the need for assurance.”
Marguerite rose, a plastic keycard between her fingers which she offered to Drake.
“Retaliation fucks can be most satisfying. I have a standing room at the Savoy Five Kingdoms. They have an excellent bar and even better room service. Drop by anytime today; I fly out in the morning.”
Riley’s face was dark with anger; her eyes held a flicker of fear.
Liam’s head fell into his open palms.
Drake stared blankly at the key before raising his eyes to the monarch of Monaco.
“Fuck you,” he spat.
Marguerite looked puzzled as she tucked the key into his jacket’s breast pocket.
“That’s the entire purpose, darling.”

When a Christian whines about Jack Donovan
It's really amusing to see an American neo-conservative Christian, always ready with the Bible for verbatim readings, discovering aspects of modern evolutionary theory for himself. At school they reject sex education and evolution theory, but when it comes to justifying heterosexuality, then biology, pure science, has to be used since their religious babble of sins is no longer sufficient today to moralize the masses in a Christian way. I can give countless examples of why this is all bullshit, because humans are not naturally behaving animals:
That women would set the evolutionary guidelines and encourage men to compete with each other is pretty much the biggest nonsense. Before modernity, girls were forced into arranged marriages, even in Europe! In human civilization, economic aspects play a much more important role than attractiveness or even physical fitness.
It is very common for women to "fish" their partners for status or wealth. In Russia and Ukraine there are seminars for women to train "fishing a millionaire". Ukrainian women simply have a reputation in Germany and other countries for being sluts looking for rich western men; and there are quite a few men who knowingly take advantage of this because western women are far too uncomfortable for them. So where is the talk of natural selection here?!
Furthermore, a man does not even have to be muscular or generally strong to protect his family. In fact, he must be just about fertile enough. And even then there are technical aids such as test-tube babies, where artificial insemination is used to help even the most inferior sperm to reach its goal.
Somewhere there is a desperate unattractive woman who will take what she can get, and hence marry an omega man with a mini dick who doesn't have to be a supermale protector either, because the "bad guys" are being hunted down by the police. Human laws stand above the state of nature, so "natural selection" in human civilizations is completely overturned; especially since modern firearms also slow down any physical advantage.
Culture determines interpersonal and reproductive behavior
And while there is natural choice on the part of women, that too is entirely predetermined by the local culture. An Arab woman will certainly prefer a bearded man, while Western women want baby faces that look "cute" to their tasteless eyes.
Ultimately, pretty much anything with a more or less working cock and pussy mates with each other, often under the influence of intoxicants like alcohol! That, too, is absolutely unnatural and contradicts any natural selection. The children thus conceived are simply a by-product, severely diminished in intelligence, driving up the criminal statistics.
Not for nothing does the New World Order, once immortalized by the Georgia Guidestones, calls for "GUIDE REPRODUCTION WISELY — IMPROVING FITNESS AND DIVERSITY. I can't deny that I find these statements profoundly reasonable, as indigenous people have always lived in harmony with nature by wisely guiding reproduction as higher conscious beings. It was only civilization that led to a break between the biological and spiritual aspects of reproduction, for which Christianity, as a state-builder, is largely to blame: A woman does not just calf out any evolutionary accidental product – or just new potential sinner –, but a higher consciousness that chose to reincarnate through her into this reality and duality. It is in truth a deeply subtle connection that is in no way understood by our society.
Therefore, striving for a "gay gang" only practicing scheduled sex with women to procreate new healthy "bros" solves many present problems and would even be at least as natural a way of life for a society, especially since men who worship masculinity are much more apt to select the most handsome, healthiest, and strongest among their brothers for insemination. The act of procreation then takes place with a clear intention, namely to let a new brother reincarnate into this world, and not to "produce" any further slaves, whether as consumers or sinners. Even before the mating act takes place, it should be agreed through an exchange of thoughts and spiritual exploration, accompanied by a shaman, what is expected of each other: Which son do you want and what kind of life does this son want?
Some primitive peoples have lived this way for thousands of years, with men and women separated, only having sex together solely for procreation, which is not haphazard but based on physical as well as spiritual considerations. We see the opposite of this every day as misery on our streets: Humans who have no purpose in life and instead reduce their perception of this world with drugs for they don't dare to kill themselves immediately.
Fatherhood is more than just making children
There is one criticism I do agree with though: Fatherhood is an important part of masculinity; but not a necessary one to be a man! Nor is fatherhood something restricted to biological sons, for it is almost a law of nature that older men develop something like fatherly feelings for their younger partners. And that too is something important, which was considered elementary in the ancient world, where the older man transmits his personality and knowledge to his young partner through feelings and sexual love. In pre-colonial Islamic culture, as in antiquity, such relationships were still a natural part of the scholarly body. Reproduction in a mentally sense is just as important as reproduction in a biological sense; not everyone is destined for both in his present reincarnation.
Christians will never understand this since their unnatural morality based on misinterpretation of old texts completely cuts them off from such deep understanding.
It must also be emphasized at this point that heterosexual men very often do not correspond in any way to the image of a caring father. They inject their semen into a cunt and that's it. As mere biologically producers, who are often not the best either, they rarely feel responsible for their offspring. This very often applies to conservative men as well.
Likewise, Christian marriage is no guarantee of an intact father-son relationship. Heterosexual men who are not androphilic generally do not show much interest in their sons. So wouldn't a model of society be more desirable in which sons are raised by a group of men who focus on masculinity and their sons' development rather than pleasure with the next woman?
Not everyone is destined to have offspring
In the past, enough offspring were fathered one way or another because there were no contraceptives. Thus, groups of homosexual men didn't have to worry about procreation at all. There were always enough boys moving up.
It can be observed in human cultural history that homosexual men picked up offspring neglected by society in order to give them a better life. I have met a lot of homosexual men who work in the social field and take care of children neglected by their own parents. These guys I'm talking about aren't LGBTQ+ people, they're ordinary dudes who often seem a lot more masculine than their kids' dads because their masculinity is self-motivated. Nowadays they are not infrequently the only male reference persons and masculine role models for the children. Never recognized as rainbow fags by conservative moralists, those homosexual men are placed by Allah precisely where society needs them. Everything ultimately serves a purpose.
Since each person has specific duties in society, it was never preordained that everyone should father children. Many jobs in the higher service are impossible to combine with a family. Ultimately, only when you are freed from family obligations can you actually devote your life to higher purposes. It's basically no different today, but contraceptives and the current living conditions mean that children have become expensive ballast that can be avoided chemically or abortive. However, the far too low birth rate is not the fault of homosexuals, but of all western developments as a whole, whereby orthodox morality offers no solution to the problems other than taking us back to the time of the witch burnings.
History was smoothed out by the Church
The fact that we don't know much today about our pre-Christian past, whether there was something like homosexuality, is simply due to the Christian falsification of human history, which since the Middle Ages has been erasing or rewriting everything that doesn't fit into their world view ruined by false morality. Even the Nordic religious script, the Edda, must be viewed as Christianly distorted, since the whole of Scandinavia, including Iceland, had already been evangelized at the time it was written.
It's about happiness in brotherhood
Ultimately, Donovan is concerned with men and their mutually beneficial relationships with one another, and not with how they form godly families strictly according to Christian ideals. I guess from Donovan's point of view it just doesn't matter that much to think about because basically a man only has to put his cock in a pussy three or four times in his lifetime to have sired enough offspring. Everything else, like marriage, is just cultural gibberish constructed around it. And the joke is that even conservative heterosexuals with their only child are no longer up to their own moral standards, and are at least as unnatural as these LGBTQ+ people. Rather, Donovan's masculinism liberates man from both harmful extremes to pave the way for something better.
Personally, I'm only concerned with reproductive issues because we live in a time where we're heading straight for extinction. If enough healthy, beautiful offspring were born in a happy environment, I would not feel compelled to think about it, but instead seek my place in that ideal society to contribute. But we don't have this society.
Sex is more than procreation
A woman can only get pregnant once a year; a man, on the other hand, produces semen non-stop, lusting several times a day when not distracted by work. Where does all that sexual energy go?! Homoerotic relationships and sex practices between men fulfill an important balancing function and strengthen the bond between men. This is not unnatural, but a sensible program for more cooperation, so that men do not behave like primitive territorial animals.
Beside false Christian morality, women disturb this natural bond because they bring discord between men due to their affects and jealousies. For this reason, a gender segregation between men and women is not unreasonable. Islam therefore has a strict gender segregation to this day in order to give men as much freedom as possible for each other, which welds them together as brothers. Therefore, one never sees a Muslim alone, but always appearing with his bros like a pack.
Christian morality, on the other hand, creates men who already perceive any physical contact with other men as "gay". How can such men ever form deep friendships that are not eaten up by mutual resentment sooner or later? They are torn apart and forced through a marital corset tightened by their wives' effeminate possessive complexes. Domestic violence is a consequence of this.
It must also be corrected that monogamy is not a law of nature in humans, but a purely cultural thing, and from a genetic point of view, a bad model at that. The greatest possible genetic diversity is achieved when women are impregnated by different men. There is also absolutely no evidence that humans have always been monogamous. Africa, for example, has the greatest genetic diversity, and I think that is mainly due to the much more intensive practice of polygamy in the past, which is still lived out by indigenous peoples who are not exposed to Western influence.
I don't think Donovan will deny that cocks are made for pussies; but that doesn't preclude the cock from being used elsewhere in the meantime to ease social tensions or strengthen cohesion; because, as already said, a woman can only get pregnant once a year, while men are horny all the time.

John and Arthur Meet Albert Mason Part 1
As requested, all journal entries of side missions with John with Arthur’s versions beneath for comparison: These are the Albert Mason journals. John does not draw Albert in the first mission set. You can tell the developers had less time at this point of the development process, but at the same time - one could say meta wise that John just doesn’t want to draw everything and prefers writing shorter bits. You can see the differences in styles of writing. All mistakes are included.  Part 2 here.

Comparison (Final Rose AU Snippet)
Note: Set in the Blake x Weiss AU.
X     X     X
“You know,” Winter drawled. “I thought I was responsible for the biggest scandal in the family, but you managed to outdo me.”
Weiss took a sip of her tea. It was exactly the way she liked it. “I’m so glad I could be of service.”
Winter’s lips twitched, and then she reached across the table to take Weiss’s hand. “How are you, Weiss? We both know how to put up a brave front for the cameras, but you don’t have to do that here.”
Weiss sagged in her seat and squeezed Winter’s hand. “I’m really glad Blake was able to convince me to come to Arendelle.”
“One of the perks of being married to the queen is that I get to boss people around although Averia’s the the real tyrant. She’s been whipping the Royal Guard into shape, and they’ve been put on notice. There is to be absolutely no snooping around you and Blake. Anyone who tries is getting booted out of the country.”
“Well, it’s nice to see Averia putting her tyranny to good use.” Weiss looked out over the royal gardens. It was winter in Arendelle, which meant that there was plenty of snow. However, the gardens were hardly drab. The nation’s famous winter roses were in full bloom. “Ruby hasn’t shot anyone, has she?”
“Not yet,” Winter replied, grinning. “Although she’s been spoiling for a fight. Yang might have a short temper, but Ruby has a vicious streak underneath her cookie addiction. Once she stopped laughing about what you said to your father, she was the first person to suggest assassinating him.”
“That’s Ruby,” Weiss said fondly. “Her addiction to cookies is second only to her loyalty. I assume Averia was the one to tell her no?”
“Yes. Well, it’s more like Averia is the only one who can stop Ruby from running off to kill people when she feels like it.” Winter shifted her attention to another part of the gardens. Their mother was sitting on a bench next to Serah and Snow. The three were talking, and their mother was actually smiling. “Mother is doing better here.”
Weiss nodded. “She is.” She followed Winter’s gaze. “I wonder what our lives would have been like if she’d chosen differently.”
“I had heard,” Winter murmured. “That if she had asked, there is a very good chance that Snow and Serah would have accepted her.”
“Who did you hear that from?”
“Professor Dia may have mentioned it in passing during her visit here to oversee the construction of a Dia Technologies facility. Snow was quite close to our grandfather, but things... never worked out. I daresay that our lives would be very different if they had.”
Weiss took another sip of her tea. It was beginning to cool, but an application of her Semblance saw to that little problem. “You know, we do need to get Whitley away from our father. He can be a bit of a git, but he’s our git, if you know what I mean.”
“I do.” Despite how aggravating he could be, both Winter and Weiss were fond of Whitley. He wasn’t perfect, but he tried to do the right thing when he could. However, there was no telling what sort of person their father might twist him into if given the opportunity. “But that will be considerably more difficult. Our father is out of options now. He’ll not let Whitley go without a fight. I’ve no doubt that he’s doing his best to poison him against us as we speak.”
“That does sound like father.” Weiss huffed. “We could just get Ruby to teleport over there and kidnap him.”
Winter chuckled. “As amusing as that would be, I’m not sure that would help. Our best bet may be to wait until our parents’ divorce case gets going in earnest. That will keep our father fully occupied since he faces losing a great deal. We can approach Whitley then.”
“I wish I could have taken him with me to Beacon,” Weiss growled. “But that wasn’t an option. He would never have gotten in.”
“I should have tried to push him into the military,” Winter replied. “At least, there I could have kept an eye on him, but he was too young when I left. By the time he was older, our father had already gotten to work. It’s a shame. He has a good head on his shoulders. Once he got over the snark, I think he would have done well under Ironwood.”
“I doubt snark is a problem. Jahne is a ranking officer in the Atlas military, after all.”
“Jahne and her mother occupy a rather special place in the Atlas military hierarchy. It also helps that her grandfather is the General Sephiroth. That alone would grant her considerable leeway, but Jahne, much like her mother, is a magnificently versatile weapon. Her eccentricities are a small price to pay.” Winter sipped on her own tea. “By the way, where is Blake this morning?”
“Claire is taking Blake hunting in the forests north of the capital. It’s not something Blake has done before, and she wanted to give it a try.” Weiss smiled. “But Blake is a big softie, so they’re not actually going to kill anything. Instead, they’re going to track down some reindeer and follow them around. She said something about trying to find some eagles too.”
“Ah, the eagles.” Winter saw Weiss’s curious expression and continued. “Vanille thinks they’re at least partially related to the great eagles that live in the Oerba region. Basically, they’re gigantic, more than large enough to fly from island to island. Unlike their Oerban cousins, however, they don’t eat mostly land animals. A big part of their diet is fish, some of whom are very large.” She smiled. “The waters around Arendelle have always been bountiful, but ever since Averia started her campaign to murder everything Grimm-related, they’ve been doing even better.”
“She does have a reputation as a killer robot for a reason.” Weiss’s expression softened. “How is married life treating you?”
“Honestly? Very well. We’re still working out the exact specifics with regards to children, but Elsa will be going first with Averia. It’s the safest way to remove any issue when it comes to the succession.”
“Oh, I don’t envy you dealing with that.”
“It’s fine. We’ve asked Diana about it, and she has devised some software to outline exactly how the order of succession will work and all that. It’s actually rather fascinating.”
“Any kids Blake and I have won’t have to worry about that although...”
“You’re thinking about Menagerie, right?”
“I’ve met her parents,” Weiss said. “They’re good people, but I don’t think I could ever go to Menagerie. I don’t think I’d want our kids to go there either.”
“Hmm... speaking of Blake’s parents, I should give you a heads up. A delegation from Menagerie will be arriving at the end of the week for diplomatic talks. Blake’s mother will be heading the delegation.”
“Oh.” Weiss nodded. “I should speak to her then.”
“If you do get into any trouble, don’t forget where you are. The Royal Guard have standing orders to assist you and Blake. Averia has whipped them into shape, and I’ve done my share of getting them up to speed on procedures and protocols for any number of situations. They’re good, and they’ll only get better.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.” Weiss looked away. Their mother was laughing, and Serah’s face was covered in snow. Judging from the thunderous expression she wore, the pink-haired woman was out for vengeance. Their mother broke into a run as Serah rushed after her. Snow meanwhile was content to sit back and prepare several snowballs before wading into the fray. “Should we join them?”
“If you want.” Winter paused. “But since I’d very much like to win...” She raised her voice. “Anna, how do you feel about participating in another snowball fight?”
The princess stuck her head out of a nearby window. “Elsa’s not involved, is she? Because if she is, I’m on her team.”
“No, she’s not. I trust you’ve borrowed some of her Semblance, though.”
“Of course,” Anna said. “Ready when you are.”

going to be sappy for a bit and copy-paste what i wrote after finishing tommy’s new video because 1) so many other people are doing it and 2) after watching it i physically cannot just let that video slide without adding my own thanks.
god i’ll always love that server. it meant so so much to me and so many people and i’m so incredibly glad i got to be there during it to laugh and cry and theorize and write and draw and meet new people and get to watch people grow. it changed so many things for me, even if it wasn’t in the same monumental way for the streamers or even some of the fandoms own fanartists and writers. that was the happiest i’d been for so so long, and it lasted for so so long. obviously hyperfixations have been trivialized and countless drama raged, but god this was so special. it genuinely embodies so much joy and passion and laughter and creativity for me.
i gained interest in so many different things due to watching my favorite ccs, like european country flags and countries and geoguessr—which became part of my routine to play with my best friend at lunch at school—i was, in some wild unexpected way, more social and connected with dozens of people both online and irl that i would have never done or met beforehand or had the chance to. Hell, i had several people come up to me so many times at school (usually nervous but simultaneously bold underclassmen) pointing out my art of c!tubbo or c!tommy or friend or c!fundy or the l’manburg flag and asking/telling me who it was, seeing silly c!tubbo doodles on the hallway sketchpages and a ranboo oil pastel drawing hung up and even a silly painting of two possums apparently in love with the l’manburg and manburg flags hovering nearby ??? Complimenting strangers (which i never would have done before!!) on their techno or tubbo or ranboo merch, hell, even connecting with my own younger brother because he had just gotten really interested in minecraft right when i had gotten really invested in the dreamsmp!
this was the biggest interest since warrior cats 10 years ago. i told so many family members about it and the lore and rambled on about it to my mom and my dad and even watched some of sad-ists animatics with my therapist because she knew how important this had become to me!! i remember it being mid december 2020 and spending 30 minutes in the parked car rambling excitedly to my mom about c!technoblade’s attempted execution and his pickaxe duel with c!quackity, i remember explaining the difference between the ccs and characters to my grandma and aunt and uncles, i remember spending three hours talking literally nonstop with my closest friend about the dreamsmp and our favorite/coolest parts and character arcs and whatnot when we didn’t have any phone service. (their family members were..only slightly amused by how long we talked about the same topic.) i made more art for the dreamsmp than i’ve made for any of my interests in years and even started writing again just to write thousands of words of dreamsmp fanfiction!!!
i am so incredibly grateful to have been here from december 2020. i will always be proud of the streamers i followed who were and are such genuine, hard-working and good people, and i can’t wait to see where everyone goes in life. i love that server more than i can say—even if my passion for it has faded. i cannot help but love it so much and with my whole heart for what it means. it was meant to be.

Chapter Seven: More Than One String to Her Woe, Part 1 Review/DISCUSSION
Insight into the story happens here.
This was long...it was 13 pages plain on Google Dicks, I think it's now 20.
Purple is Afterburn Canon quoted.
Pink is Wednesday Addict's observations/questions/etc.
NC-17
>> Words of honor : truancy, jutting
Your “Words of Honor” amuse me, since they seem so simple to me. But then I have to remember that my biggest fans aren't from Anglocentric countries. 💀
>> I was going to state "cats aren't a problem" but then my cat came harassing me. But they are cute? So it's fair.
I love cats, but I also have two very old dogs that need to be watched all the time.  I can’t bring them up there because the cat would hate it, and so would my old boy, since he doesn’t like cats (they bully him because he's weird).  He won’t eat them, he’ll just bark until the cows come home. And my neighbor dumping her shit out on me completely disrupted the flow of my creativity, which I’m still trying to get back, BTW.
Speaking of cats, Morella makes a rather surprise appearance in the next upload. She’s kind of important…. 😺👹
> Maybe if you're nice to me I'll write a scene just for you. <
>> Yeah, well working on it! : joy: But I don't know how many tor happy points I have collected so far nor how much happy points a scene/fic is!
Too many happy points, but it seems like we're pretty much on the same page anyway. Weird how you're kind of a mind reader. A PSYCHIC. 💀
>>Now.... we established she is wealthy...could she zombie revive him like crackstone? Would only need a couple of victims.
I’ve thought about that, but I don’t think zombie dick would be very fun to fuck. …🦠🤢🦠🤢🦠🤢 
I HAVE thought of a crossover with another show I like, which could change things in terms of what to do when he dies…which might be a better option rather than zombified Donovan.
>>One young Detective has alerted us of tire tracks matching the tireburns left behind by the car that ran over our mayor. There. Easy.
He’d have to make a report with specifics/can’t say “one young detective”. She can’t be known to be involved at all, given police protocol.
>>Slurp.
Yes, but was it fudge flavored?
>>Ha, I quite like her, nice and direct also loyal AF
Lou-Anne Walker is here to stay. She has unfinished business.
> She's brilliant like that.<
>>She is, I suppose that happens when you learn and study and fuck each waking moment instead of mindlessly scrolling tiktac or reading fanfiction...wait... ..
Wait, you can learn things from reading fan fiction too! So long as the author knows what they’re doing. I could have bored the living crap out of my readers with an extended Nepenthes lesson because like Wednesday, I too have a parent who is a botanist (I learned of pitcher plants when I was a kid), but I didn’t want to drag down the comedic scene with easily forgotten details.
>The rain had come down just as hard<
>>Is there a rain kink? Because that is unexpectedly hot. Like the scene she had with Xavier in Ep3…
You will be happy to know that the “big scene” between Wednesday and Donovan in Chapter 8 (“Come on, Addams. Gates took my son away.  Don’t let her take you from me, too.”) happens in a serious downpour. Also, as you were publishing your comments, I was publishing Winter 2023, which mentions her desire to smell the rain during the smutty part. She is a pluviophile, as are Gomez, Morticia, and Pugsley.
>>A real gesture would have been to let him explore her ladyparts for a couple minutes undisturbed and describe them to us!
Perhaps that’s coming (ha ha) soon, though in his mind, she’s got little moth wings (which has been used in the text to describe part of her parts). 
>that she was fucking the town's sheriff<
>>Curious thought is that she may have gotten the smell another way, say, being detained / searched by him, or spending time with him discussing the case, assuming sex right away seemed like a leap.
The scents of sex are much different than just normal scents, and werewolves have the same type of receptors that dogs have. They can smell things the same way dogs can, and can tell the difference between someone having just shaken someone’s well-lotioned hand (like with Xavier and Thing) and two bodies all up in each others’ orifices. Sex has a specific scent (genital fluids, sweat, pheromones). And with the way Wenovan’s been going at it…it’s strong in Enid’s nose. 
>dirty AO3 fan fiction<
>>YOU DID NOT also, bruh Enid how is this helping your grades again?
I did.  Tee hee.
>>Ness does care enid, you are just not smart enough to realize not all people are like yourself. I myself like to keep my room neat and tidy….
Enid’s collection IS pretty fkn scary. She has far too many plushies, FFS.
But Afterburn Wednesday’s would, actually, decorate in a similar manner as Yoko (they have similar tastes). It’s just that she brought nothing with her because of her escape plans...she didn’t think she was staying, so why bring any prized items besides her weed kit and utility garter (I consider her inherited ashtray and coaster part of her weed kit). The larger items could be shipped back home easily after her escape (cello, gramophone, typewriter).
>>We love coach Vlad in this house right? He's like the only competent teacher.
Yes, and he totally knew that Bianca would nick the little arrogant newbie’s face good. His side eye when she proposed no masks/tips was hilarious. I feel like he was irritated that his best fencer was being attacked for no reason (as he said quite decisively that it was a clean strike and Rowan had no reason to be a little bitch).
Gates is competent at what she does too. She's just an evil twunt 🤣
>>That's a curious question, do you have the answer to it? (Enid wondering about Wednesday killing Donovan with sex)
No, cardiac arrests during sex aren’t prosecuted as manslaughter or murder. For prosecution to happen, the act must be something that the partner is doing (like bludgeoning or strangling someone during the act of sex), and then it’s not the sex that killed them, it was the instrument and the person wielding it (e.g. the opening scene of Basic Instinct).
>>Yoko is just great. That's all.
I like Yoko too.
> I mean, in this case, seems like 'Lucy' can hold her own.<
>> Big one. Also including some of the gray face comments you keep getting. This I think sums up my way of thinking perfectly "in this case", these situations really are case by case.
A good lot of the cases are terrible and unfit, due to the naive and ignorant nature of the adolescent. But brain development differs immensely (more on that in a minute, given something you wrote).
>> Example given : How do we feel about a 10 year Boy with a 52 year old Male teacher ?. I would hope we agree about "wrong" but now, where is the line ? 12 ? 14 ? 16 ? 18 ?
A 10-year-old boy with anyone is pedophilia (unless they’re peer experimenting, which used to happen pretty freely since kids get curious…of course now they have the internet), and with a 52-year-old male teacher?  Lock that MF up. 
My line is sixteen, and people can be mad about that all they want. Age of Consent was sixteen in my state and it wasn’t a problem back then. Like I might've mentioned in my Tumblr, it’s my body, my rules, and once I turned sixteen I no longer had to worry about people going after any of my partners. You can tell that I’ve trained AB Wednesday to stand firm to the same mantra.
>> Mental maturity/puberty/Who is the aggressor and countless others play a significant role in determining that line. Example given: If Principal Weems would be attempting to seduce Eugene. That I would consider pedophilia.
Yes. Eugene is barely pubescent (he’s got peach fuzz on his upper lip, so he’s getting there). He also seems like a freshman.  “Beems” (Bee Boy + Weems) seems like a really freaky pairing…Eugene would have to go through puberty first, but then that just reinforces your point. 
>> People love to hide behind the law as the be all and end all, but don't consider that the age of consent in most places is 14+ and some places even allow marriage before sex. In Cyprus and Malta, the minimum age of sexual consent is above the age at which children can get married with the consent of a public authority and/or the parents.
Activists are wanting to force the age of consent from 16 to 18 in a lot of places in the U.S. I don't  think there's any state in the union left that has 14 as the threshold. I didn't think there were many Euro countries that were still at 14, either (which to me is too young, but w.e., Europe 💀). The whole marriage thing is wild too, but when you think about hundreds of years ago when noble people wed, they would often marry off their children at an early age but the marriage wouldn't be able to be consummated until the girl reached a certain age.
One thing a lot of Euro countries have over us is comprehensive sex ed for kids, though now I'm seeing some shitballs become influenced by the prudish Americans (see: sour reactions under posts about Evanna Lynch’s relationship w the dude who played Young James Potter…she was 16 when they started dating, I think he was 21 or something).
>>Besides. Even Adult couples, where one partner is, say, 23 - An adult by every type of classification, and the other 61 I see people calling pedophile - like, that word does not mean what you think it does.
People have watered down that word so much that it's meaningless when people throw it at me. Pedophilia is the literal attraction to pre-pubescent children (generally the age range is 6 to 12 years old). If people need the labels, then use the labels correctly:
An infantophile/nepiophile is someone who is attracted to babies/toddlers up to ~5 years old. (🚩🚨🤢 SNS for judging! 🤢🚨🚩)
A pedophile is someone who is attracted to pre-pubescent children, with a general age range ~6 to 12 years old. (🚩🚨🤢 Again, SNS for judging!🤢🚨🚩)
A hebephile is someone who is attracted to those just entering puberty (~11- to 14-year-olds …*repeat alarms/red flags here*). Humbert Humbert of the novel  Lolita was a hebephile.
An ephebophile is someone who is attracted to late/finished pubescent adolescents (~15- to 19-year-olds).  Would it be fair to call Donovan an ephebophile? Was he attracted to 15 to 19 year olds before Wednesday came into his life? (The answer is very clearly, no.) 
A teleiophile is someone who is attracted to adults and sexually mature teenagers. Normally the masses are teleiophiles.
A mesophile is someone who is attracted to those who are middle-aged. Afterburn Wednesday is a mesophile. 
A gerontophile is someone who is attracted to elderly people. To each their own, but the general masses who get married to their soulmates and grow old together eventually become gerontophiles. 🍋🤭🍋
>> The word they are searching for is "Oh wow that's quite an age gap, iam lucky it does not concern me in the slightest" Same with the word "child", while…Take this quote: The World Health Organization (WHO) defines an adolescent as any person between ages 10 and 19.
Yes, there are some good points there.
>> Also : The brain finishes developing and maturing in the mid-to-late 20s.
The prefrontal cortex ‘finishes’ by around 25, but that is an average and that whole study wasn't read for what it meant. The researchers examined several factors that influence brain development in adolescents and thus someone like Afterburn Wednesday would've been able to mature faster than other average people, so I'll just leave it here.
Ignore what they say about cannabis because that doesn't work the exact same in the Afterburn Universe.  It has less of an effect on outcasts in terms of health detriment.
>> If those people see a happy married couple aged 82 and 91 that have been together for 65 years they want that too, then they do the math and realize they married at 17 and 26, and then proceed to lose their shit.
People are generally bad at mathing.
>They must be<
>> Frankly too large tends to overboost a guys ego. I know of a man who got a 10 inch monster who treats his partners like condoms. Was it worth it? Only they know. // Also id like to point out lesbians are a thing. They seem quite content without a male appendage present.
When I was 14, I had a 15yo boyfriend who had one of those monsters. It was huge and he didn't know what to do with it. He was a dumbass though (a Kent-level dumbass), and a huge reason why I then stuck to way older men.
Lesbians aren't always content without a male appendage, that's why there's a multitude of phallic toys made just for them, like the double-ended strap-on. …Actually now that I think about it, I don't know any lesbians IRL who DON'T have a strap-on. Some vaginas just crave dick (but not the dickheads behind them), it's literally shaped to accommodate them (or other phallic items 🥒🍌🍆 😂).
Yoko is like that. She's 90% lesbo but likes actual dick every once in a while, hence her admission to Bianca about being with Xavier. Yeah, that makes her a little bisexual. 
>To her, he was perfect.<
>> He is quite a catch I must admit.
The language I used mirrors Donovan’s thoughts from the previous chapter: “To him, she was normal. She was his normal.”
>was hiding a pain so great that <
>> A Man who knows who the monster is and isn't doing anything about it, endangering her, Enid, Xavier, and injuring Eugene. I see no way where she will receive this news in a good way.
It's his son. When Donovan tells Tyler “More than you could ever know” after he answers the question, “Did you ever even love her?”, Donovan is basically confessing: “I loved her so goddamn much that I don't want to lose your sorry, stupid, murdering ass either because you're all I have left of her, but I don't know what to do and am unsure of what I should do or how to approach it”. We're not sure exactly what’s motivating N/C Don to avoid moving on Tyler but again…it's his son, and people can become blinded by their love even for their dangerous children. This is something that Thing actually goes over in Chapter 8.
AB Donovan has clear motivation: it's his son and (( SPOILER, I can't  say 😭)). Francie’s Hyde wrecked the family (and Donovan)  in ways that haven't been revealed yet. Bruh has severe PTSD.
>"Tall black, two sugars,"<
>> We have the joke about eating my way past this story but I will say I can't stand black coffee
“Tall black, two sugars” is what Donovan orders when he goes to the Weathervane (N/C, Episode 6, right after Wednesday blows off Tyler). She was getting his drink for herself. Hence why Tyler was looking at her funny while making it.
>Keeps me in business.<
>> Gonna be affected hard then by kinbots death. Maybe Wednesday can step up.
I've written parts of Valerie’s funeral already. 🫠
>casually slipping it into her bag.<
>> Did.. she just shoplift?
Yep, she pulled a Winona (Ryder 🤣). She's not an angel, and sometimes her intrusive thoughts take over her impulses. And this day in particular she isn't always thinking about anything but Donovan and Enid.
>with a ten and a quarter on the<
>> I may either be overreading this, or not understanding it, the book costs 3, she stole one, and pays 10.25, but accepts the change unlike the coffeshop exchange where she told him to keep the change? Like. Am I dumb? If its 3 flat, why put down 10 and 0.25?.
There's 6% sales tax that applies to books in Vermont. In order to get $7 back (and not $6 and a whole bunch of change), she gave her the quarter, because the total would be $3.18. If there were local Jericho taxes, it would be 7% (because the max local is 1%), which would've made the book $3.21. 
The one she stole, she didn't see the price of (it was a $25 book 💩). She might not have taken it if she’d seen the price. But, she will make up for it eventually.
>favorite Rice books<
>> I admit I am not fact checking anything regarding the books/authors, but I will say your effort to include them in your lore is appreciated, even if I just read it as white noise (white text?) it makes the world feel alive in a way that only a very small number of stories manage to.
You should pick up a copy of Belinda, it's an easy read. 🙂
>what her family's net worth was.<
>> Also worth mentioning, interestingly your Wednesday is one of the very few that are willing to use her parents money, usually she's more of an "I don't need their help, I will be a successful author by myself" type of Wednesday, what made you decide to go that route ?, Wednesday accepting and using her parents' wealth?
Afterburn Wednesday is a lot more practical than N/C Wednesday (it's ironic that I'm saying this right now, given what Afterburn Wednesday’s been doing since the end of S1 events). Afterburn Wednesday was against ‘writing what you know’ because she thought it to be reserved for the imagination impaired, but since her life was becoming a twisted mystery, she leaned into it; the same goes for her money. Why not lean into it since it's there and she's stuck there; if she didn't use her money, it would put her at a great disadvantage over the other spoiled rich kids, and since everything is a competition, she’d want to come out on top there, too (the Addamses and the Tanakas are rich af). Gomez spoils her with an allowance, but she just hoards it, which is what she thought she might live off of after she ran away.
>Lucas's shenanigans with<
>> Violent assault is not shenanigans is it ?, All 4 of them should have been sent off for rehabilitation
True.
>More like crapcore,<
>> Frankly, that's rude, I would love to have one of those, handmade too, it looked so fucking comfy
She hated it in canon, so. AB W hates it too. LOL And that actually makes her an elitist snob.
>the girl with Enid's face pleaded
>> Ha, that's a funny twist to the faceless.

> rude and offensive question.<
>> It is a fair question, if Wednesday one of the smarter people does not know its not common knowledge. So it's fair.
All Nevermore students are provided a Student Handbook where the various outcasts are listed/described for their knowledge (and it's gone over during orientation, which she didn't have BUT she got the handbook and was told to read it, which she merely skimmed/didn't bother with the outcasts guide…because she didn't think she was staying, and then once she did decide to stay, she just completely forgot about the handbook 💀). 
Also, since Mishizu is Japanese, she considers it extra rude…especially since Wednesday is supposed to be one of the smart ones. It's just more emphasis on how Wednesday is an outcast amongst outcasts.
>The thud of the impact on her thigh<
>> hit me baby one more time.
I really needed me some Thornhill action there. I still cackle every time I envision this part/Wednesday goes flying out of the frame and into the tall weeds.
>up my rectal cavity.<
>> I mean so far said cavity has been very underused, description and usage wise. Please, no hot coals however.
I have a surprise for Donovan, but I just need to place it properly. It's quite possible it won't show up until After the Burn.
>"Weems isn't going to report <
>> I am sure Weems wouldn't report it either way, given the Addams forture funding nevermore…crossing the Addams seems unwise in your story.
While that's true, Weems has ulterior motives for keeping Wednesday where she is. Weems, Chancellor. Her parents. 
>she hated doing that when Thing was around.<
>> Why? iam sure he could be handy. Don't hit me.
💥👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻💥
He’s FAMILY, like Enid said, and Wednesday isn't into incest yet. What?
Besides, in the Afterburn Universe, Thingclair is a thing. They practically had a full on affair in N/C. Little dude’s SEEN HER NAKED AND HELD HER HAND 😭✨
>I need that in poster size," she demanded<
>> So do i !
In my extras (multimedia, AI, etc.) I'm looking to create some of Donovan’s photographs, so. Particularly the one in question, but also the ones with Wednesday. Just have to find a good AI program and figure out the prompt. 
>just…classlessness.<
>> I mean given the amount of men (and women somehow) that cannot even name all parts of the female genitalia correctly would suggest some additional visual education is needed.
Yeah, but Donovan doesn't want to get into that kind of trouble. Pics of her mothwings would probably land him with CSAM charges, regardless of how tastefully or educationally they were done.
American society is a prudish as Hell society right now. He’d be lucky to get away with what he has (it's pics of her naked back/the curves of her ass, curves of her breasts, weed smoke rings/smoke, and a few semi-racy ones of her in just a white shirt and her black/white striped socks holding Ted…there's a set of them together, waist up and holding each other with a focus on the curves of their arms…all set against a dark grey background as she sat on an old/vintage bench). Luckily American society in the Afterburn Universe is a tiny bit more relaxed, but still.
>She felt empty,<
>> As I said, thing would have been very useful. Not a cock, but a handful can help.
RELATED. Or, at least, family.  Thing, in his scene with Donovan in 8, explains his relationship to the Addamses a bit better.
>disgust as it started licking the ball<
>> OH god this is going to be good isn't it?>> Oh god, if she could hear me laughing my end would be upon me.
Wednesday Jr. is canon in Addams Family lore, so…why not?  Anything to annoy our favorite easily-annoyed Moping Myrtle.
>replacing me with a dog."<
>> I am curious if it does actually hurt her.
Not really. She likes animals and has a special way with them. … 🫠 It hurts her in a different way though, which I’ll put directly in the text somewhere.
>wasn't wearing any underwear<
>> Oh god, she's really going for the kill right away.
Fuck yeah, she wanted that man to pound that 😺 hard, like the other teachers who did the same to less worthy girls.
>She used her toes<
>> She does like teasing with her toes and feet doesn't she?
…She does. ☺️
>Ryleigh had gone missing<
>> So she is using her parents money to make people disappear, neat
…She used brute force for that one. 💩
>Just how much older?"<
>> So iam not sure how to word this, I don't like that Wednesday/her family don't have a healthy relationship in your story but my god you fucking nailed their voices. The fact iam hearing their voices when iam reading the family interactions.
Only going by N/Canon. 🤷🏽‍♂️ She just doesn't have a great relationship with Morticia. But thank you re: their voices.
>Only if he is a gravedigger. Is he?" <
>> I mean he is kind of digging his own grave with his alcoholism, does that count?
Yes, it does.  But it's not what kills him.
>Your father would never allow it."<
>> Interestingly, she always did feel more of a daddy's girl to me with Gomez being willing to do anything for her and her being quite fond of him too, where as she's remaining cloddish with her mother.
She is very much a Daddy’s Girl BUT…men don't know what's in a woman’s heart. At least, that's how Wednesday feels at the moment when she realizes she needs to talk to an experienced woman about her problems…someone who would understand what it's like to be a horny teenaged girl in the midst of a shit ton of drama.
> offense registry desperate?<
>> I have issues believing that they can't just send her some of her more complex toys with outcast amazon, they have the money to do that, or just outright send lurch, money is such a cheat code.
She's in immediate need, even Outcast Amazon can't ship that fast. …Well, maybe it can, but that's not the point. 😭🤣
>"He's a cop."<
>> She 100% knows its Donovan doesn't she?
Yanno…I think she might strongly suspect it. Morticia isn't dumb, after she woke up from her fainting spell her brain raced back to Parents’ Weekend to see if she’d missed any signs. There were N/C signs right in front of us.
>All the girls were giggling.<
>> That's a flashback to our Sex ed…
I don't even remember the sex ed we got, but it was basic and terrible. I already knew everything they were teaching.
>"Plant looks plenty 'excited' too<
>> You see at least that's a funny joke worth laughing at
Xavier is class clown, obvs.
>there was nothing she could do about it<
>> Nothing some silver dagger coated with garlic won't fix…
Oh, now. That's no way to treat Yoko or Wenaka. Wednesday will get a mouthful in with Yoko near the end of Chapter 7. 👹
>I could make that move for you if you want."<
>> That is actually really nice of him, take him up on the offer and your problem will be solved Wednesday.
Xavier’s powers are really weird re: making things come to life. I'm sure if his powers involuntarily made the Hyde painting scratch him, he could make her penis plant drawing at least tickle her clit. 
>but it sure would be fun<
>> Iam so sad there is no Xavier/Wednesday in your story, their back and forth is just great, ignore me iam just thirsty.
Gotta go by canon. There's a good amount of Xavierday angst though.
>become permanent was<
>> I like that she's admitting to herself that it's an unfounded fear.
Unfounded fears are still fears, especially to the attachment impaired.
>BAM! Enid nearly jumped... She pulled her close, their lips almost touching. Her eyes volleyed from hers to her lips for too long a moment before they locked eyes and she sneered.<
>> That sentence was surprisingly hard to understand, Ness was making eye contact with Enid, then looking at enids lips, remaking eye contact, did I get that right?.
Yes.
>> Also, I totally want a toxic Wednesday/Enid relation now because that scene was charged…
>of a bitch does one have to be<
>> Curious how you will make those 2 reconcile honestly. Given the end hug and your choice of pain by declaring cannon holy but also adding extra bad blood via Enid spilling her secret.
There will be scenes towards the end of 7 and beginning of 8 that will ‘fix’ it so that it remains canon, but the toxicity will still be there.  Ajax will be bound to Wednesday’s will for a while. 👹👹👹👹👹
>"I'm sorry Donovan, but it's the best <
>> Digging for info regarding Tyler?
Maybe.
>and it was making Wednesday a tad nervous.<
>> Would be quite the plot twist if they disown her and suddenly she is just Wednesday.
Won't be happening in this story. They're a family, even as dysfunctional as Wednesday and Morticia are.
>and I are nothing alike.<
>> They both like taxiderming for one, I bet if she had mentioned that Wednesday would hold her in (slightly) higher regard.
… 🙃
>close to being similar to Morticia<
>> It really depends what Wednesday we are considering. N/C Wednesday is like Morticia in a lot of ways.
-They are both..
Yes, that's why it irritates AB Wens so much. The last thing she wants to be is like her mother. She has huge issues around that, some are intuitive rather than direct observation.
>How fascinating—and somewhat terrifying<
>> That line has me laughing, Wednesday, the menace, fucking old men to death.
It has US laughing, but in Kinbott’s mind she doesn't know about Donovan, so she probably assumes that Wednesday is an unrepentant slut…which she is, but for Donovan.
>but it cost her a head tilt<
>> Her Microexpresions are *everything*, from the little smile she gave Donovan right at the start of the show
Or the way her mouth opened in irritance when Kinbott mentioned the relationship between Viper and her mother.  Or the way her brows relaxed in surprise after Weems told her point blank that she knew she was having visions. Ortega was really good with those.
>uh, healthy everyday functioning."<
>> Like drawing a penisplant in class ?, also Kudos to her for being open, when I researched it the first hit was "hypersexuality is a problem that needs medication"
The penis drawing was bound to happen regardless of what AB/W was up to. And hypersexuality doesn't necessarily need medication. It's clinical sex addiction, and that's treated with meds, group therapy, regular therapy…NONE of which Wednesday would be interested in, especially since she's otherwise functional. 
>I suspect that your peers bore you?"<
>> God is that relatable, but turns out its a lonely existence because in the eyes of most adults you will always be "just a child" no matter how well you can hold a conversation with them.
You hit the nail on the head right there. Such loneliness is explored in Winter 2023.
>"Well, as a mandated reporter, if you were — "<
>> It's funny isn't it, everything you say stays in this room, unless I feel like I should share it because I think it's wrong
It's not just that she would think it wrong, it’s that if a crime is involved, she is obligated to inform the courts. But there is no crime that she knows of right now, since Wednesday is 16 in this scene. And there will be even less of a means to ‘punish’ anyone for the relationship once Spring Break 2023 rolls around (which is part of After the Burn).
>Who I sleep with is my business<
>and its K-9 unit<
>> Ohm. I do not wanna pop up one anymore watchlists than I already am, but iam fairly confident beastiality stays illegal no matter your age, so talking about sleeping with the police dogs might not be the best idea?
It was hyperbole, since of course she wouldn't. But if she did, she's a billionairess, and money makes the immorality disappear. Speaking of money…
>And, as a wealthy heiress<
>> Honestly, it feels it would be good for her character to get disowned, because as funny as murder threats are for us as readers, in the world…
That's the beauty of it being a fictional world. 🙂 She can get away with it and not get disowned. Gomez would never do that to his little girl. 🥹
>Kinbott. " I'm his whore. "Ravens<
>> Oh my, I wish she said the middle part too, that would have been amazing.
I don't feel like canon Wends would have done that (even though I contemplated it). She's selective as to what she will share/say and when, especially since it's Valerie.
>eyes had welled with tears as she<
>> Are we implying Wednesday is an actress in universe too?
She's a pretty decent actress when she needs to be. A master manipulator.
>Stalker-level obsessed<
>> Since we know Enid is harmless, id say its cute.
🤣 Well, yeah. I guess, since it's Enid.
>I will pay you for your tutoring. <
>> Iam glad, given she stole his last batch
In the Afterburn Universe, weed is legal for medical purposes and non-medical dispensaries also exist. Outcasts have slightly different rules around it (obvs, since it's integrated into the school). It's still illegal and frowned upon for normie teens to possess (which I think is what drives some of the resentment).
>he was smitten with her the<
>> I mean, who isn't, also... #stonedraven please? I beg of you.
Honestly, if Afterburn Wednesday were to sleep with anyone other than Donovan, it would probably be Ajax (sorry Waviers…Afterburn Wednesday is just not attracted to him/it's the same way that it is in N/Canon). I feel like she’d be able to get her dom on with him. Though she’d be curious about Kent’s big 🍆, I think he’s TOO sweet/dumb af for her. Then there's Eugene…but he’s far from ripening.
…Oh shit I just got another idea…it would make Wednesday a Super Bitch though. …👹 
> him during fencing <
>> Her behind is fine yes, but her moves? Hello? That flip is glorious.
I'm sure the flip would be nothing without those glutes. 
>open shirted, braless front<
>> Um? Don't tell me she's about to seduce him ?
👹👹👹
>she already eaten it? <
>> She IS the poisoned apple.
🏆
>in personal cruelty<
>> Took me a while but...she's totally doing this to fuck with Enid doesn't she? Ugh. 
👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹
>Her eyebrows raised. "Including Xavier?<
>> Interesting if that's for her personal knowledge or if she will use that against him at some point…
Why else would a manipulative narcissist be interested in such information? 👹
>He blushed. He was, at least, charming<
>> He is a dork but he's adorable
We love Ajax in this house. 💖✨
> from a different time," he said, fairly quickly. <
>> I feel humiliated by the fact he knew that and I didn't. 
The word has Greek roots, and that's the only reason why he was so quick. Most anything else, he’s straight up stoner/couldn't tell you much.
> to his crush was how much he bottomed for both Nightshade boys<
>> Oh god poor Ajax is getting more than he bargained for.
HE SURE IS. Anyone who encounters her is in that kind of danger.
>derive pleasure from their eyes and ears<
>> This has to be discussed, however, because it can go both ways, as in
Afterburn Wednesday is  traditionally monogamous. But here, she is still without Donovan and is in Manipulator Mode. She’ll keep to her rules, though for the Tyler kiss (🤢) she’ll be so desperate to know the truth that she’ll fall right into Manipulator Mode again.
They discuss cheating in the audio excerpt from Part 2 (which is in Winter 2023), and obvs Donovan thinks she was cheating on him with Tyler.
>"Whaaa…way…wait, you don't like Enid?"<
>> While I trust your author skills, it feels like you're digging yourself a grave... Enid will be back next episode…
Trust in my author skills, and the fact that I'm still dealing with the Afterburn versions of these little fuckers...they have qualities not present in N/C.
>So I'm going to ask one last time: What do you need from me, Ajax?<
>> No iam not squealing, you are.
I need to dump some more of this Wenjax action in the next upload, huh.
>new pet gorgon<
>> Urgh while it's hot to read, I don't like Ajax getting exploited, he doesn't even get a taste in return…
He’ll be fine. …I think. 👹
>Ugh, poor Enid.<
>> Ness is so judgmental, why does Ajax finishing quickly indicate poor Enid? 
When she says that, she's actually sorry for Enid. Sorry that Enid has a dude who does finish too quickly.  Probably sorry that Enid (likely) won't have someone like Donovan.
Also, wet dreams don't count towards any judgements…they're things that are completely out of one's control.
>cruel and start laughing<
>> Have to say her behaviour here is making her quite unlikeable
She was never meant to be perfect. Her big character flaw is manipulating people to get what she wants (and while she gets away with it with Donovan sometimes, from the first car ride to the cabin you can see that she doesn't get away with manipulating him all the time, which I think is part of what draws her to him…that he WON'T let her do it all the time is seen as both strength and a challenge that she admires…everyone else is weak-willed). She doesn't really ✨care✨ about anyone besides herself and Donovan. Everyone else she just tolerates.
Plus, since these thoughts are centered around sex, she's amused because she now feels justified in her preferences.
>you're always fire whenever<
>> While her uniform is part of the excitement, that big brain of hers is the real appeal
Brains and beauty. Do you think he steals glances at her from across the room during CPlants? 👹
> "Hi Enid," she sang quietly.<
>> Oh god she is fucking evil. And apparently iam too because I can't help but smirk.
She is quite evil when someone pisses her off. But now she has a pet, and she’ll be using him in the next upload/part (urgh, it's coming so slowly 😭).
>"It's on the house. So's the weed<
>> I feel genuinely bad for him, he's such a nice guy that while a bit airheaded got the heart in the right spot.
I think this result is what Wednesday was looking for. It was a highly manipulative scene and a contrast to how she is with Donovan.
>letting the cash drop to the floor<
>> And then she does this type of disrespect like...why... Enid hurt you not Ajax.
Wasn't meant as disrespect. It's a power thing. He shouldn't have rejected her cash. Now he has to pick it up from the floor. He needs to do what he’s told…hence him ‘kissing her ring’ (she wasn't wearing any, so the gesture was symbolic). In actuality, neither really need the money.
>quarter pill of ecstasy.<
>> Not been there, but it feels risky needing drugs to be able to orgasm, could form an addiction no?
It's not necessarily ‘to be able to’ orgasm, it just makes it easier. It puts you in the mood. Opens everything up, makes things feel intensely better.
>his firm hand kneading at the muscles of her neck<
>> Anyhow...moving on from our Gorgon abuse... This is hot AF, but I have a massage kink so it does work extra for me.
They both have a style that’s brimming with sensuality. I think maybe Addams brings that out in him/his inner sculptor (not really sculpting, but he’s good at woodworking…sanding things, carving things). I'll get into that more in-text.
>> Still love the fact he calls her "Addams" also you have a typo there, the correct term is "sweet art".
He’ll always call her Addams, and she’ll clap back with Galpin when she wants. Both that and ‘sweet ‘art’ exist in the short Winter 2023.
>dragging her erection along his…. <
>> That is one of the most erotic things I have read in a while, ugh just so sensual AND hot.
She knows what she wants and how things work. 🫠💦💦💦✨
>onto her pillow and bedspread.<
>> Leave it to me to ask this in the middle of a sex scene but...why isn't she using towels to keep her bed dry? She can't very well switch out her bedding every single day can she?
She's high and doesn't care. 
…Now that I think about it, she should've been masturbating on Enid’s bed, for that wet reason. THAT would've been such a bitch move. Alas…hindsight.
>when he stretched his hands around her waist.<
>> Would her waist not be larger when she's full of air ?, also that is still tiny.
Take a very deep breath in and take a look at your stomach.
>peaceful ending with the man she adored<
>> Despite ness acting like a cunt towards the end of this chapter, this is what we are rooting for #happyend.
She's our cunt, though. 🥰
>I'm Belinda.<
>> Wow, what an ending to this behemoth chapter.
🫠💖✨
Apologies for the delay in the review, I was quite busy and had to catch up with other fanfictions as well. Now, what a chapter wow, not the most smut in it but the world and character building you do is amazing.
Why are you apologizing for a delay in review? 😭 I'm just ecstatic that I get such a thorough review at all. And thank you, I try.
Also, I agree with a fellow commenter who is of the opinion that the smut in this story is its own character, however, said character still needs a description of how they look like!
In all its detail including every landmark.
Tumblr media
I would write more but I need to sleep 😭

Top 10 things to do if you stay in Hyderabad
 Not only the historic touch of Nizams and the origin of Pearls make Hyderabad a special place but also the perfect blend of royal rein, culturally diverse people, some amazing biryani, the filmi touch of “Ramoji” and a lot more.
Come let’s explore.
Experience the taste of Hyderabadi Biryani
The most important thing to begin with and our personal favorite is FOOD. The Hyderabad Biryani has its roots following back to the Mughal Times when Aurangzeb was ruling the Deccan part of the country. Hyderabad mixed its own flavor with the Mughal Biryani before introducing the delicacy to the kitchens of the Nizams. The whole of the nation craves “THE HYDERABADI BIRYANI”  and some of the famous chains include Biryaniwala & Co, Paradise, Café Bahar, Bawarchi, Shadab ki Biryani, etc.
The famous saying in Hindi goes like “agar Hyderabad aa kar biryani nahi khaya toh kya khaya” (If you came to Hyderabad and did not have biryani, then there’s no point coming to Hyderabad). Street Food is a must here too.  Hyderabad is one of the very few cities in India serving 99 versions of Dosa (Ram ki bandi is a famous late-night place for dosa). When Ramzan comes, it’s also time for some haleem, which is available on the street at very decent prices. Then, of course, are the kebabs, tempting you every evening at street corners.
Reign of Royalty in the heart of Deccan
The hospitable nature of Hyderabad is evident through the word of mouth publicity all across the globe. Back in 2015, it was regarded as the World’s Second Best Place as per the annual guide of the Traveler Magazine of National Geographic. The Falaknuma Palace is the epitome of luxury and royalty of Nizams. The exterior is Italian in nature with European calligraphy. Come and dine in at the world’s largest dining table at the Falaknuma Palace also known as The Buckingham Palace of Hyderabad.
Even The Chowmahalla Palace holds the majestic touch of hospitality, where the Hyderabadi Nizams used to hold grand events in honor of their guests including imperial emissaries and British Viceroys during the reign of Asaf Jha dynasty. This Heritage of India has a striking resemblance to the Shah of Iran’s Palace in architecture. Such is the magnificence of the Chowmahalla Palace that historians tend to compare it with a “Palace of Arabian Nights”.
Ramadan Festivity Mania brings the crowd
With the Charminar during Ramzan, the life of the city lights up. The old city’s charm is lit during this season with food and a hub of shoppers during Ramzan.  The late-night market has a glimpse of glittery bangles, haleem, Irani chai, Mehendi and innumerable vendors. All these mini festivities can be found in Lad Bazaar, Patther Gatti and Chatta Bazaar. Even Sewaiyyan and Attars with genuine essence can be found during Ramadan.
The Shopping Spree
A must-visit budgeted shopping place is the Sultan Bazaar in Hyderabad. Varieties of clothes, accessories, and household items can be found here. Books and stationery goods are also available at cheap prices in the shops in this area. Even food and vegetables and silver antiques can be bought from Sultan Bazar.  Laad Bazaar, General Bazaar, Koti, and Abids are also good shopping streets.
Sightseeing at a glance
Charminar is a representative of Hyderabad to the world as its global icon. A monument and mosque in one, it is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Hyderabad. Tombs of the Qutub Shahi Dynasty – the epitome of royal grandeur and Golkonda Fort’s architectural aesthetic is worth a watch. Though there are many historic landmarks, these happen to be the “once a visit historic structures of  Hyderabad”. Want to have a look at the film sets of the movies you have been watching from childhood and till the present? then Ramoji Film City is your go-to go corner.
Tech Hub of Hyderabad – High Tech City
Other than fun and amusement, all the biggies like Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Google, and ICICI have their host desks located at the High Tech City. Even the large-scale startups find room for themselves here. The infrastructure along with the touch of technology with a posh locality is attractive to techies and auditors. All major tech companies now look forward to setting their footprints in this area of the city.
Queen’s Necklace Spotted
The necklace road next to the Hussain Sagar Lake with the 18-meter high statue of Lord Buddha on a small island in the middle of the waters is simply amazing. It is beautiful to watch on a night drive. The curvy stretch along the lake brings a sparkling gaze to our eyes from a helicopter view. For a better and broader connection of the likes, you can just relate it with Mumbai’s Marine Drive.
The Taste of Irani Chai
The Persian touch of Irani Chai is the morning starter for old city Hyderabadis. It’s variations include Khade Chammach ki Chai and Burkhe Wali Chai. The name itself suggests the uniqueness of Hyderabad culture. Apart from those, there are different kinds of tea powders sold by vendors across the regions of the city. This will certainly keep you hooked up with the memories of this place even you have moved to a different region.
Experience the uniqueness of Hyderabadi Culture
Hyderabad has a blend of Telugu people and Hyderabadi Muslims. People speak Telugu and/or Urdu mostly. The Hyderabadi Hindi is significantly different from how North Indians speak Hindi as it’s a mix of Urdu and Telugu etymology. Because of its geography, it has a blend of both Hindu and Muslim cultures and it’s defined as the Ganga JamunaTehzeeb. Its main attires include kurta pyjama for men, salwar kameez burkha and hijab for women. While the most epic language of Hyderabadi culture can be seen in the Hyderabadi movies produced for a local audience.
“Hyderabad mein aisich chaltha. Kya Tho bhi Bolthe Tum logaan”.
Live like a Nawab in Hyderabadi Homestays
Nowhere else can you be better to live the lifestyle of a local other than in a homestay. The local family can help you with the city’s happenings and surroundings in a much better way.
Need a budgeted home-like vibe place to stay in Hyderabad? Consider Eden Homestay for finding the perfect local hosts. Spend reasonable amounts on your experiences and create memories instead of on a living cost. Keep it low-key yet make it look lavish.

I ❤️ Brazil In 1978 I was a 7th grader at South Park Middle School in Oshkosh Wisconsin. I was 12 years old, and without a doubt a bit of a class clown at times. During the first month of school that fall our Teacher introduced a Foreign Exchange Student to the class. It was a girl, who sat right next to me and she barely spoke English. She had a little translator book, and all the while the Teacher was talking and writing words on the chalkboard, she would look in her book… likely to see what the words meant in her native language. She spoke Portuguese. That first day that he introduced her to the class, he said something like: “We have a new student, and she’s here visiting us from Brazil.” Honestly, I don’t recall her name, but I can still see her face. Dark hair, a mocha complexion, huge brown eyes and the biggest friendliest smile ever. To my recollection , this was the first time I had ever met someone from a far away country like Brazil, and no Canada didn’t count as it was only 4 hours North. Brazil seemed like it was in another world to me, and it may have well been next to Mars for my small-town mind. I recall looking at the classroom Globe over the years and always wondered what the rest of the world was like beyond Oshkosh. Every day in class, at lunch or in the hallways she was always smiling, and I was always showing off. She seemed to be amused by me, just as I was her. Then one day she pointed at me and said, “Bonito.” I had never heard that word before and looked at her a bit confused. She handed me her little translation book and pointed to the word Bonito. Next to it English, it read: “Pretty.” Of course I smiled and probably said something silly in return, but every time I would see her, she would smile, point at me and say Bonito. That was 44 years ago. After a few flights and a dozen or so hours in the air I woke up in São Paulo Brazil this morning and I am thinking of her now. How brave for that little girl to leave her family and homeland to a place as far away as Wisconsin. I am sure she lived out many dreams during that part of her life and likely experienced snow for the first time as well. T https://www.instagram.com/p/CkOajn6J7R7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Including Cairo In Your COP27 Itinerary
Luckily COP27 is hosted in Sharm El Sheikh, a beautiful coastal city located on a unique spot by the Red Sea. Sharm El Sheikh is part of Sinai Peninsula. Geographically speaking it's the only district that belongs to the Middle East and falls in Asia, unlike the rest of Egypt which is located in North Africa. Sina has always been a special part of Egypt to Egyptians, since the era of Ancient Egypt and even before. Sharm El Sheikh has a natural compounding isolation shaped by mountains and sea, which keeps the weather fresh, clean, and mostly pleasant all year long. The city has it's own international small, sunny, and well organized international airport.
In addition to the honored diplomatic representation in COP27, I highly expect all attendees are groups and individuals who are highly concerned with climate change cause, they have agendas, ongoing processes, action plans, vision, mission, and ideas that actively and positively affect our global climate change shared and mutual concerns.
Including Cairo within COP27 itinerary would be a great plan for a couple of reasons. You can reach Cairo International Airport by 1 hour domestic flight, or through a winding road trip that can take up to 10 hours.
Cairo Is The Capital
Visiting the capital of Egypt is a nice idea and an opportunity that you don't want to miss, don't you agree? The Great Pyramids are in Giza, part of the Great Cairo Metropolitan Area crossed by Nile River. You will have many other museums, historical locations, and touristic places accessible too, so you will have a chance for a great site seeings, amusement, and nightlife, while exploring the city with the level of depth and interest that suits you and your group. Most probably you will face no shortage in accommodation and transportation are quite manageable, so you don't have to worry much about planning for your stay.
Cairo Climate Exposure
Cairo is one of the biggest cities in the world, and it's old too. Such simple facts make it "climately" attracting for attention. Egypt is relatively a big country, but the populated areas are not diverse and quite concentrated where the population density is very high. Unpopulated desert is covering the majority of Egypt's area. Egypt and South Africa are the most two countries in Africa that have a strategic weight and they are key countries to the rest of the continent. And -as you may know-, Africa is serving a great natural role in balancing the climate of our world. Being around with locals and living the city atmosphere during your visit, would serve a great needed alignment to anyone with an environmental or climate-change interest, activism, or career. And would definitely and positively payback for everyone.

Neutrality
Whenever I begin a venture like this one, I swear to keep it neutral. It doesn't take long, however, before something happens to thrust me out of comfortable neutrality. The tepid, calm waters where professionals say we should remain feel unnatural to my skin as soon as I hear the calls from the stormy waters. I can only stay neutral as long as the world around me remains calm. And the world around me is never calm.
Injustice has always bothered me. I haven't always been right in my view of what injustice was. After all, I was raised in the alt-right, and that can skew your view, at least until you play their version of justice out to its logical conclusion and you are left with deeper and more scarring injustices.
Whenever something terrible occurs in the US, I wonder again at the Americans who can stomach remaining neutral and posting their happy, 'buy from me' IG and Twitter posts. For the past two years, the world has been burning down around us, so in a way, I can understand the desire to ignore it. However, it is a fool's decision to do so. Ignoring these problems is why they have grown as large as they are.
In the United States, there is a belief that if we are optimistic about things, life will be fine. It's the biggest lie, right up there with religion making everything good, but most feel the need to believe it. This, too, is understandable. Acknowledging that this country has problems with race, misogyny, and homophobia might be too much on top of the stress of trying to make ends meet, often working more than one job to do so.
I work, and I go to school full-time (which is like having another full-time plus a part-time job). I have five kids, each with their own medical needs. And those are just the stresses I'm willing to share publicly. This is not a "since I do it, so can you" statement. It is simply to say that, while I understand why people get overwhelmed, there comes a time when we must acknowledge that the stress is only made worse by what is going on around us.
There is likely no longer a good outcome for neutrality. It might carry us along for a short time and help us in business for a few years more, but neutrality is not maintainable in the long run. Even nations know that. The hazy lines that divided us over the past several decades were marked in ink after the presidential election in 2016. Despite what we'd like to believe, there is no more room in this country for the lie of neutrality.
However, this does not mean we must be cruel in our stance. Many people worry that they will have to become people who scream and spit on cops during protests. There are still many ways to take a stand. At the very least, if you use your online platform for your business, you could maintain a respectful silence on the worst days. It might even help you keep followers. I spent the day of the Uvalde shooting unfollowing every American who posted mundane content on their IG.
Of course, I do know that it can go the other way. You can lose followers when you post what you believe is right. I had to unfollow a Canadian site because the person supported a cause that was hurtful to abused women.
The silence is "amusing," especially if the silent are white. We whites always like to think that "if it had been us," none of the bad things would have happened. For example, "If I'd lived in Nazi countries, I would have helped Jewish people," or "I would have been anti-slavery and helped in the Underground Railroad." Yet, here we are, in a time when the rights in the US are being eroded faster than you can go to press; when the racism that has been rampant since before the nation's inception is being thrust into our face every day, and we are mostly silent. Sure, there are a few people who will put themselves on the line—that line being the potential of losing some followers and some business. It's easier to sit around the dinner table with friends and proclaim how brave we would have been.
The worst part is that the way to give voice to the problem has become more accessible. The internet has opened up avenues that nearly anyone with a public library within walking distance can use. There is no reason why white people should continue to be silent. We have privilege; even those of us below the poverty line benefit from our skin color to let us into areas barred to others.
Let's not be appalled anymore. Let's not simply spout, "Vote blue no matter who." We still have the opportunity to help, but we will not always. At the rate things are going, it is a sure bet that we will be a part of a group about whom future generations will ask as we haughtily ask of our white ancestors now, "Why didn't they say or do something?"
(Special thanks to @toffeecoffeedragon for all her help with this post and the previous one.)
