So those of you who have been following me may have noticed that I all but disappeared for about three months...well, that's because I've been planning to go to Japanese language school, and the wheels have really begun to start turning!!!!!!

I have been given the opportunity of my lifetime to be able to attend a Japanese language course at the International Study Institute in Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward. The course runs for a year, with the opportunity to extend it to two years, if my grades and money are sound [insert sound of children cheering here].

Being able to study Japanese locally and long-term has been a life goal of mine since I was fourteen. Though I'll probably never be able to fulfill my teenage dream of being an interpreter/translator for expats, this feels like the next best thing. Due to suffering from several comorbid chronic conditions that have majorly altered my life, most notably the beast known as systemic lupus erythematosus, I will probably never be able to seize another chance like this ever again. I won't be going in as a total novice, as I was able to take a year's worth of 1000-level Japanese language courses in college…before I had to drop out…… Since then I've been self-studying and using language exchange apps for practice, but nothing will beat the experience of using it in the day-to-day.

At this point in time (January 2024), my first six months of tuition have already been paid for. I am currently in a quiet waiting period while I wait to get to the next steps of the Certificate of Eligibility/Student Visa process. Before that, though, I need to secure my flight and housing. For the sake of my health, safety, privacy and comfort, a sharehouse will not be an option; I will have to seek a private apartment. I am here today to request assistance with the aforementioned flight and initial housing costs. It's still too early to commit to either of those, but:

The average cost of flexible one-way flights from where I am to either of the two Tokyo metro airports (Haneda and Narita) is running around $1200

I am doing some preliminary apartment scouting and am hoping not to exceed $800 per month (I will be traveling with suitcases and will need to properly store them). The apartments I am looking at do not require a security deposit or key money, but will probably come with a guarantor fee.

Now because I'm not going over there through one of the more common avenues - through a university or a job - I have to do it myself. Real life has meant that I've had to dig into my bank balance a bit, and after paying for the first six months I'm a little under the 2 million yen (~$14k) threshold that Immigration likes to see for a year's study. I'm lucky enough in that I will at least have a regular source of (unearned) income, as well as a financial sponsor; it's just the bank balance, flight, and accommodation that are hanging me up. Right now I am setting the initial goal at $3000, but I expect to move those goalposts at least once. Any extra will go towards a flight home for the Christmas holidays in December. After that, it'll go towards paying down my credit cards as much as I can prior to leaving the United States.

I can provide my conditional letter of acceptance from ISI, as well as the school invoice and receipt of the bank transfer for the first six months of tuition upon request (identifying information redacted, of course).

Because there's still a couple of months until I'm set to fly out I put together a GoFundMe (now that's a name I haven't used in a while) to idly collect whatever help I can. At the very least I just need this post to circulate enough to eventually cast a wider net outside of Tungle.hell.

GoFundMe

If you can't use GFM, V3nmo and P4ypal are also options:

V3nmo: @/venus3palette

P4ypal: @/fantasytheater

Again: I'm not in that much of a hurry, and the situation isn't dire! Thank you for combing my wall of text!!!!

Fundraiser Masterlist

Latest Update 05/19/2024

Since there’s so many fundraisers that I try to reblog/share, this will be the masterlist for all of them just so ya’ll don’t have to bother going through BOTH my blogs to find them.

They’ve all been vetted either by me, Operation Olive Branch/Poppy Flower, or by others I trust.

I will declare LOW FUNDING if they are less than 1/4 through their goal

CLOSE TO COMPLETION will be to those who are 5-7k away from their goal.

Vetted Family Escape GFMS:

Alaa (family of 5): Alaa is who messaged me on Instagram, and he is followed by those who I have already vetted, so I trust he is real. He dreamt of being a football player before the war. Currently we are at €5.6K/€22.5K LOW FUNDING

Anas (family of 10, which is him, wife, 3 children, mom, his brother and sister, SIL, and nephew): Anas took out loans in order to get his family evacuated first due to their health risks, so he is now all alone in Gaza and in desperate need to reunite with his family.

Lina (4, baby born safely in Egypt): We just need to get Lina’s husband out since she and son were evacuated out of Gaza before baby was born. €28.75K/€40K (although she told me at probably €31-€32K will be enough for husband to evacuate, the rest of the goal will be living expenses) Currently at €34.7K/€47K

Dr. Jehad-Zedan (5 people total, which is him, wife, and 3 young daughters): They’ve been safely evacuated to Cairo now (yay!) but they still need living expense money. So we are $33.7k/$40k CLOSE TO COMPLETION

Ashraf (Him only, his wife and family is already in Egypt): He suffers injuries from an Israel attack, so he needs the funds to travel to Egypt and get medical attention in a hospital. As of now, we are at £16.3/£50K LOW FUNDING

Maryam (4 people total, which is her, hubby, and 2 young children): As of now, they are at €42.4K/€60K.

NONE OF US ARE FREE UNTIL ALL OF US ARE

A portrait I did of my friend Haya Orouq, an 18 year old student from Gaza fighting to save her family. Her mother Amal has lupus and is in kidney failure. Her younger sister is only 10. The border with Egypt is in real danger of closing when the assault on Rafah occurs, which could happen sometime this week.

To get Haya and her whole family (brother, sister, mother, father) to safety, her uncle in Egypt, who will arrange their evacuation with the travel agency who evacuated him, says they need minimum $23500, accounting for GoFundMe fees. We are currently at $15.4k and every second counts. PLEASE help my wonderful friend! ❤️🇵🇸

HAYA'S GOFUNDME

Enternal bloodlines

Adrian tepes/ alucard x Male Dhampire reader

Also available on A03.

This fanfiction is for 18+ Audiences as it does have gorey themes and later on smutty themes.

Chapter 1

The sea waves were softer than they had been in weeks. As he commands his ship across the ocean to arrive at the king's call. Godbrand thought of the recent news that had so many other General's furious.

The king, Dracula himself, was marrying a Human woman.

Dracula called on his council to not only meet his wife but their so appointed Queen. From what he had heard or gathered through stops and gathering supplies or feasting on the local villages of livestock, Many General's had refused even going as far to pull away their support wanting to be separated from the king. Apparently it hadn't ended well for them.

For Bastards to be around for so long, it was surprising to find out that this was the line they were willing to go against the old man.

It was almost amusing to the Viking General, They spent the past few centuries ignoring or shutting him down when he did try to speak at the meetings. Calling his point of views on their tactics or other things scribblings of a child, simply because he was the youngest among them.

fifth youngest.

He had to remind himself as he moved to turn to the front of his ship.

There were those newerlings that had taken over Styria. When the call from the king came the new vampiresses sent the king's wife fine garments, jewelry and gowns. With their apologies for needing to decline the call due to the shift of power in the frozen land they strived in.

It was granted seeing as the King had called for the old vampire ruler of those lands and that the newlings taking over had not seemed disrespectful.

While it was a disappointment in not getting to see the newlings in the council, Godbrand wasn't going to the king's castle for them.

He was going to see if it was true.

That the king of Vampires was really serious about marrying a human pet. To make a human pet his bride and Queen over all vampires.

To see if the King had finally gone mad like the other Generals who pulled away and had disappeared surely by being killed for going against the old man himself.

That's what separates Godbrand from the others, He didn't do the whole he said thing. He didn't like the wild spread of rumors that could easily be changed and fit to one's agenda. He prefers going straight to the source himself.

So that was what he was doing when his ship ported in Wallachia. Traveled through the land to the Kings Castle to attend this meeting of vampires and to see the Human who took the Old man's stone cold heart for her own.

Lisa Of Lupu.

A Human woman in a small room full of vampires centuries old and older who saw her as nothing but livestock and a pet of the king they believed had lost his mind.

And yet her resolve was unwavering, her eyes never looked away from the generals eyes, If she had any hint of fear she never showed it. If any of the vampires in the council room had intemendated her, they would never know for how she held her head high beside the King. It was something Godbrand could respect, he supposed the woman had a pretty face but other than that he saw nothing special of her. He didn't see what Dracula saw in her and he didn't have any strive to find out.

The meeting went as about what could be expected, The king announced that Lisa was his wife and that she was to be respected as the Queen. What had surprised him was how the woman seemed to reject such notions only claiming she was his wife nothing more.

A notion that surely irked some of the Vampiresses in the room, for this little human pet was being given such a powerful role that she didn't even understand it. Or perhaps she did.

Godbrand didn't care much about it as they went over discussions of Territories and the livestocks current little wars.

So much delicious blood being wasted by their wars over nonsense.

The General's disgusting ways to turn the wars into the vampires favors once more, the typical goals.

The viking general wondered how the human pet was taking their conversations. Seeing how her husband and his men thought about her own kind. Using them for their own gains and if she had any rejections or hatred she did not show it, her displeasure or perhaps empathy for the humans suffering in the wars, but other than that nothing. Her hand kept moving to rest on her stomach, seeming to absentmindedly do such actions.

Such actions that kept him silent during the meeting, an unusuality for him and didn't go unnoticeable from the king.

When the meeting was adjourned and the other generals left, Godbrand moved, finishing the last of his blood in the dainty glasses the King used getting up.

"Little Godbrand, your tongue seemed to be missing this evening." The king's words called making him pause and turn to look at the old man. His dainty wife beside him, her blue eyes seeming to fall on him as well hands on her stomach once more.

Perhaps he had stared too much at them.

"You are more observant than I had thought." The old man mused.

"So she is then?" He spoke, watching his words carefully, he knew well that the king had a peculiar way of handling those who had offended him and Godbrand hadn't seen all that the ocean had to offer nor fancied dying so soon into his seemingly immortal life.

"What little vampire?"

The air grew more chilly than the land's winters and it was merely autumn on the trees.

"Will it live? Is it possible?"

A human having a vampire's child, that was something He had never thought about before, nor had thought was possible.

Sure he had his fun with harlots as much as he pleased, and there were chances of vampires conceiving but the chances were so thin that heirs were chosen by Vampires turning a hand pick disciple.

But a child born of human and vampire blood? What could such a creature even survive? Then again, He doubted the king would go so far out of the way that it was unnecessary to bring the pet he decided to marry pain ... .Or maybe he would, perhaps the king was more cruel than ever.

"We believe it is possible. So far I've been careful." The woman spoke, her voice was soft as she rubbed her stomach that showed no real sign of life in her womb.

Godbrand took that information with a silent nod as he moved to leave, the king seemed to allow him to as well.

The young Vampire found himself thinking back to that meeting, that fleeting moment he was given alone with the King and his mortal bride. He was unsure about his thoughts as he watched his men tear through a village he planned on taking over. Watching humans scream and run as his men tode through their limbs and necks. Blood staining snow as it rushed along the village proximity in small rivers.

The next meeting he had attended the King's pet was nowhere to be seen and the King's patience seemed slim as thin ice.

He had later found the woman when he walked through the castle's Halls to live, hearing her in a room which had the small beginning of childrens things. She was crying those clear crystalline tears when her head snapped towards him.

"It didn't make it." Was all she offered him, making the Viking silent.

He had never needed to give condolences in many many years and so he held his tongue as he watched the human move down a small blanket to her lap.

He left the human pet to her mourning.

He fed from a man who had some sort of bravery to attack him as he watched other human bodies be torn through like ancient parchment.

Men and women torn and scattered in the snow, children either sharing same fates or sobbing clinging to their dead mothers sides as they watched the horrors of masters of the night feast among their friends and families before there flight sensory came to them making them gallop through the snow like herds of deer fleeing from a forest fire.

A sound by a nearby cabin caught his ears as he moved towards it, his eyes landing on a young woman holding onto a dead human man, her eyes staring up at him wide and streaming crystalline tears.

She was merely several years from her beginning years of womanhood, possibly her early twenties and she did seem to have the hips to survive pushing a child out.

Godbran moved towards her watching the human scramble away fear filling the air from her.

"I'll give you a choice lass. You can die tonight like the others, or you can try baring a little lad for me and be let go to live with the rest of the livestock as soon as he walks."

She had chosen the later option and she had followed behind him silently to his ship.

through the massacre of her village and burning home to be a vampire's breeder.

The human woman he had taken did better on land than sea and so he had to live with her in the safety of his lands, where his men's women could watch her closely and aid when it came to the excitements of childbirth.

Many of them were not sure why his sudden interest in such things but they did not question him. He was the chieftain and he provided his clan with as much blood and human pets as they desired. Why would they stay too focused on his current interest, even dare to question them.

His little mother had lost many, barely making it a few months from when she would stop her monthly bleed mother nature's way of showing she was with child. Each time she mourned over them, whether it was because her freedom slipped away or she actually had mother instincts to them. Godbrand was only interested in what she had changed, what she ate differently? Did she over exert herself? Did she move around too little, coddling the pregnancy too much for a hellspawns liking?

Or was such a possibility of a Human and Vampire sharing blood in the form of a child even possible to begin with?

During most of the human womens miscarriages Godbrand had heard rumors through the sea winds that Dracula's little wife was having such problems as well.

Yet they were still trying to create such an impossibility. It seems like He too was trying as well, only to see if such a creature could be born and what conditions were needed for it to happen.

After a solid two years his little mother to bear his hellspawned had passed the few months range. Her body even started to change and show his seed taking sprout.

There was curious excitement in his clan, or more so curiosity. Everyone in his clan was interested to see his human give birth to his hellspawn. The pregnancy seemed to be going smoother than the others and his little mothers diet was steady on freshly killed lamb. The spring seemed to be a better time than the following seasons.

But despite how well the human pregnancy went with his undeadish offspring it had ended with her giving birth to a quite dead thing. Simply born way too early and deformed and as Godbrand inspected the thing that came from his human pet, she had sobbed for it.

"Please…Please let me hold them." She had sobbed in her blood soaked sheets.

He didn't.

He carried the dead little thing wrapped in a ripped sheet, the womans shrieks piercing his ears as he left the Hut that she stayed in.

It had fangs.

It was blue like a corpse and just wrong in all sorts of ways.

But, this one had come so much further than the others.

Godbrand had stood over the sea looking down from the cliffs of his village as he dropped the blanket and the dead little thing to it, watching its waves devour what could have been.

He would let his little mother rest before he would fill her womb once again to have her cook another hellish spawn.

The next Seven were born similarly or simply unfit to live. The second, third and fourth were born way too soon, leading him to question the reasoning and the sudden change of his little mothers health. She seemed weaker and tended to pass out more and more even if she barely moved around.

By The Fifth, Things had shifted. A steady supply of blood added to his pets diet had led her to being able to carry the hellish thing to labor.

But it didn't live any longer than a mere few hours. It didn't even bother to respond to any method of his pet trying to care for it.

Seemingly dying out of spite for its birth.

The sixth shared a similar birth and death as its fifth sibling.

The seventh had been born wrong, nearly bringing his human pet to her death as well as it tore its way in her body, to tangle itself in the womb and be born strangled by her umbilical cord.

You were the eighth.

Born almost similarly to the seventh.

But you had fallen out of your human mother when the nursing woman had her stand up and squat, learning from the last one well, and had dangled by your neck just above the floor before you were scooped up and wrapped into a blanket. You did not scream or cry and they believed you too had been born wrong like the others. You were taken out of the room from your crying mother and brough just outside to your father. Godbrand had taken you in his arms, carrying you to the cliffs that overlooked the sea.

He had you outstretched over the ledge and was about to release you and have you return to the hells you were sent from until the wind had faintly carried the faintest of gurgles from your throat to his sharp ears.

The Viking general had pulled your hanging blanket from the clift and nack to his chest opening the covering to see your pale and blue tinted flesh resembling a corpse and yet your face turning in hues of purples, your chest convoluted here and there and bubbles leaving your tiny mouth.

His eyes narrowed on the cord still wrapped so tightly around your neck before taking a claw slicing through it with ease, the flesh falling away from your neck and your chest heaved with air.

A small hellish pitch wailed over the cliffs at the sea and it echoed through his village as he carried you back to the hut his pet, your mother stayed in.

You were given back to your human mother who had weeped holding you tightly to her chest rushing to feed you.

And fed you did, with a mixture of your mothers blood and Milk from her bosoms.

You had survived the night and seemed to be eager to continue to live your strange blooded life. You grew faster than human children, by four months you were already the size of a year old and were starting to stand and take first steps.

Already recognizing him as your father despite his distance from you traveling back and forth to Wallachia for the king's call of his council and back to the land that was your home.

He was coming back from Wallachia this time with Gifts to the old man and his wife, well made fur blankets to keep the king's pet warm during the winter months in Wallachia and a small flock of sheep expecting to birth lambs. He had joked obnoxiously like was expected of him, about how Lamb's blood is sweeter when freshly born and he left it to that. It was to the old man if caught onto the hidden hint at aiding his human bride's current pregnancy.

The village was eager to greet their chieftain and sailors as they unloaded his current ship of loot from several human villages in nearbying lands they pillaged. Dragging tied humans from.the ship that would be food to them all.

An Excited shrill cooing in the crowd making him look to see your mother carrying you on her hip towards the ship. You bounced against it until she placed you down on the green grass that the moonlight gleaned from. He watched you wobbly walk over to him, a wide smile on your face despite what seemed to be a bright red rash over your face and arms.

He carelessly picked you up holding you away from him as he inspected your small body.

His eyes snapping to the human woman.

"Why is he sick." He wasn't asking and she by now knew that.

"He was playing in the river while I was washing his clothes. The rash came hours after we left it." Her frail voice spoke as she looked down docile.

His eyes moved back to you,Taking in your features. Your hair color is highlighted with his shade of red hair, your eyes of your mothers unlike his. You had rounded ears like your human mother if anything you looked more human like her than vampire like him. Yet you had fangs you inherited from him.

You could and did go into moving water and had not disintegrated on immediate touch Another little discovery he learnt with your existence.

Half breeds like yourself could go into the sun without suffering too much at all.

You could go into moving water, something that could kill him. A death he risked everytime he took a step on his ships.

He wondered if the King and his human pet child would be able to do the same things as you, his half breed son could.

Or would their child have different abilities?

He carried you to a captured human and he snatched the human by their neck ripping it open with his own fangs swallowing the chunk of flesh before moving you to the gushing throat.

When it was time to feed, that's when he got to see himself in you. How your eyes would glow in bloodlust, fangs growing ever so slightly longer and your nails would sharpen to claws. You would feast as ravenously as he did and he watched you feast without any remorse, a grin forming over his lips, his bloody fangs glinting in the moonlight.

"Atta lad, Gotta get ya grown to ya can aboard the ships too my boy. And when ya pillage your first village, then i'll name ya boy."

He said with his wide grin watching you guzzle down the rushing blood of the dying human.

He would not speak of your existence to any of the generals and not to the king and his human let if they could not succeed in having a half breed child like he did.

His curiosity from if such a creature like you were possible now Satisfied. He could have killed you now and be done, but as he watches you pull your small head away covered in blood looking like a small reflection of himself. He couldn't.

You were His blood.

A continuation of his bloodline.

And despite you being purposely born a half breed and would be looked down upon like the livestock you fed from.

You were His son, and Godbrand would make you into a fearsome Viking and Vampire where the other vampires in neighboring lands will doubt if you ever had an ounce of human in you.

STEM SISTER SCUFFLE: ROUND 1 MASHUP 10

Lisa of Lupu/Lisa Ţepeş (Netflix Castlevania) vs Dr. Saira Bellum (Carmen Sandiego)

Lisa of Lupu/Lisa Ţepeş is a 15th Century Medic!

Dr. Saira Bellum... uhh... makes gadgets! (I dunno what word to use)

Why you should vote for each contestant:

Lisa of Lupu/Lisa Ţepeş:

"Saved a lot of people during the epidemic but was burned at the stake for it. Wife of Dracula."

"Quick-witted, kindhearted MILF. Plus she loved Alucard with all her heart🥺💕"

"Went to see THE Dracula just so she could understand how the world worked and help people with that knowledge and was so cool and slay that when she died he tried to destroy the entire world as revenge <3"

"As a woman in medieval Wallachia she had very little resources to pursue her passion, so the mad woman went and knocked on Dracula's door and demanded he teach her the real science from ages past that only vampires remember. She was so good at what she did the local government mistook her for a witch and had her burned at the stake. She wasn't seeking out knowledge for knowledge sake or prestige or anything either, she just had an incredible deep desire to genuinely help people. Also Dracula was so enamored by her audacity that he married her and they had a kid. So she's a milf too, that should count for something"

"Vampire milf"

"She studied medicine so she could actually help people. She was dedicated enough to it to travel to Dracula's castle to ask him to teach her and show her the marvels of technology that he kept. And for this she was burned at the stake"

Dr. Saira Bellum:

"What that ask said"

Said ask: "- Her name is Saira Bellum - "Cerebellum" LITERALLY A SCIENCE JOKE - She is a short queen. She is the shortest actually. - She is evil. She gets paid to be evil. Her job description is to be an evil mad scientist. - She's nonbinary and ace. To me. - Her (tall af) coworker is the only one to call her by her first name... Gay... - Cool hair"

"She’s very evil and also very competent, but only with science. Additionally, she’s best friends with a fashionista and is probably more motivated by curiosity and entertainment in her villainy than anything else."

"science name, mad scientist, shes quite cool"

"she's a mad scientist what more do you need???????????????? she has a failed runway model gf <3 and they're both evill"

"She is literally the mad scientist of all time. She works for a organisation of theives and makes them gadgets to do evil stuff. The organisation is literally called VILE (EVIL backward). Also she is non-binary coded. She has awesome hair. I'm pretty sure she has a homoerotic rivalry with a posh Egyptian lady. And she's Desi so... She's everything to me. Carmen Sandiego is such a good show actually"

About Seelies, their Palaces in the Dark Sea & how they're Probably Related to Andrius (TL;DR)

Their palaces are in the Dark Sea, where The Seven have no jurisdiction. They brought wisdom to mankind, & probably so to other entities like the Andrius, "the Wolf the North".

Their palaces are in the Dark Sea, & Enkanomiya is also exactly there, but there was no Seelie civilization there; there were just humans from the Unified Civilization as far as we know. It's quite interesting that the Seelie courts are eroded by the time all around Teyvat, but in Enkanomiya they aren't.

For a while, I used to think that the ruins that are around all Teyvat's surface, were the architecture of the Seelies, but this isn't the case at all bc according to the book "A Drunkard's Tale" the Seelie palaces are in the Dark Sea.

And now that we're talking about the Dark Sea and the "A Drunkard's Tale", there's smth pretty interesting I'd like to mention about...Columbina.

In "A Drunkard's Tale" Vol. 3 we learn the tale about a lone wolf, that once wandered in the a "cruel" wasteland; a place that seems to be far beyond the dominion of Celestia, with the remains of fallen gods and others that escaped there after the archon war, (ex. Orobashi).

According to the tale, once the lone wolf passed by a palace where he heard music. Within there, he found a "fair maiden" using an instrument, with a skin "ashen white" & playing a "long-forgotten and mournful melody".

"The chirping of insects on a long-gone autumn night is the chorus of exiles, singing mankind's most ancient song as they live out their plight..." she sang.

"Stripped of all that the body once held close and the soul once held dear, song and memories are all that now remain of yesteryear."

"The last singers, the first Seelie, they played their final tune in the halls of angels."

The Seelies in the area approached the pale white maiden to listen to her music. The wolf asked about the song to the maiden, and the maiden replied "A song of the Seelie".

"Long, long ago, we wrote this song for the human savages. Yet now, we sing it to mourn our own fate."

This maiden was clearly a Seelie who seems to still maintain her human form, & we're told that Andrius received his powers from an ancient god...could this god be the Seelie from the tale? he has a very icy windy ghostly anemo form, just like Seelies.

The twitter user named @nanbeidou7 also talked about this before me.

Here's a link to a thread she did about the topic.

I'd like to also talk about a possible mention of a Seelie (maybe even Columbina, asuming that she's a Seelie), in the artifact set "Adventurer" in the "Plume of Death", there's a mention of an adventurer meeting a "girl so beautiful" that even her appearance felt surreal.

And do you all know what else did the girl had? that's right! a cluster of feathers!! the similarities are too coincidental tbh...but who knows! anyone in Teyvat could be incredibly beautiful girl with a cluster of feathers, right?... right??

finally, it’s time for my wet beast of a legion oc

below i’ve got another picture of him next to his aforementioned twin brother and an (easier to read) transcript of what the ref actually says + more fun facts/bits to his story!

Romulus “Ash”

24 | Cancer | he/him | bisexual pride flag | 6′2″ (forgot to put his height on the ref rip)

STR 10 | PER 6 | END 7 | CHR 3 | INT 7 | AGI 9 | LUCK 2

Neutral Good

Chronic Depression & PTSD

Born and raised Legion alongside his twin brother, Remus. Father is a Centurion in Flagstaff.

Left Legion at 22 just before finishing his training to become a Decanus. Wracked with guilt and nightmares. Changes his name and tries to hide his appearance as he is on the run from his vindictive brother. Hoping to make it across the California border.

Bonus Facts Not Listed

The twins’ birthday is June 30th, 2257. Romulus is the older twin by only about a minute. They were born and raised in Flagstaff.

Their father is Lupus of Flagstaff, a Centurion in high standing with Legate Lanius. Given his name, the twins are often referred to as the “sons of the Wolf”. Remus ends up embracing this nickname more and he wears a wolf pelt on his armor.

Remus spends much of their childhood trying to out-do Romulus and earn their father’s approval. Where Romulus excels in his studies of tactics and leadership, Remus is unrivaled in combat and demands respect from an early age. The more Romulus secretly begins to question his upbringing, the more Remus lives and bleeds Legion.

Romulus and Remus excel in different aspects that their father deemed "good enough". Neither of them got praise often, but the times Romulus would get praise, it was always in a "good job, you're doing much better than your brother" or it was praise in public always when Remus was present. Their father was doing this as a way to "harden" Remus, who was more timid as a young child. While this did exactly that, it also made Remus grow to resent his brother at an early age.

Romulus spoke out against his father and refused to execute a camp full of Legion slaves just before leaving the Legion. As punishment, not only was he subjected to lashings, to prove his loyalty to the Legion and his father, he was put into the arena against a low ranking legionnaire that was one of Romulus’ close companions who was caught freeing slaves in their camp. When Romulus saw this, he refused to fight and threw down his weapons. It was then that their father sent Remus into the arena, who not only struck down Romulus’ companion, but very nearly killed Romulus himself.

When on the run, Romulus picks up the name “Ash” upon entering what was once Ash Fork, Arizona.

Romulus writes poetry in a hand-bound journal :)

Romulus’ weapons of choice are a compound bow and a machete, but he is also trained in hand-to-hand combat. He would always prefer to avoid combat if given the chance, however.

He ends up becoming a companion of the Courier 6, Rosemary Rosario, and the two develop feelings for one another.

There are several close calls with Remus in the New Vegas area, but it all comes to a head at the Second Battle for Hoover Dam. (Unsure which twin actually survives this encounter. Up to the reader, I guess (wink))

No one in my real life will care about this so here you go: just sat next to the guy who played the magician in that House episode at the airport. He had an old timey suitcase with travel stickers all over it.

holy shit lupus guy????? you met lupus guy???????

Theories surrounding historic supernova remnant

A team of international scientists, including Drs Stephen NG and Yi-Jung YANG from the Department of Physics at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), collaborated with NASA on research led by Nanjing University, utilising NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) telescope to capture the first polarised X-ray imagery of the supernova remnant SN 1006. The new results expand scientists’ understanding of the relationship between magnetic fields and the flow of high-energy particles from exploding stars. The discovery has been published in esteemed Scientific Journal The Astrophysical Journal.

‘Magnetic fields are extremely difficult to measure, but IXPE provides an efficient way for us to probe them,’ said Dr Ping ZHOU, an astrophysicist at Nanjing University in Jiangsu, China, and lead author of the new paper on the findings. ‘Now we can see that SN 1006’s magnetic fields are turbulent but also present an organised direction.’

Situated some 6,500 light-years from Earth in the Lupus constellation, SN 1006 is all that remains after a titanic explosion, which occurred either when two white dwarfs merged or when a white dwarf pulled too much mass from a companion star. Initially spotted in the spring of 1006 CE by observers across China, Japan, Europe, and the Arab world, its light was visible to the naked eye for at least three years. Modern astronomers still consider it the brightest stellar event in recorded history.

Since modern observation began, researchers have identified the remnant’s strange double structure, markedly different from other rounded supernova remnants. It also has bright “limbs” or edges identifiable in the X-ray and gamma-ray bands.

‘IXPE is a unique instrument. It can detect polarised X-rays, directly probing magnetic field structures in regions very close to the shock front, where high-energy particles are freshly accelerated. Such information is not available from any other telescopes,’ said Dr Stephen NG, a high-energy astrophysicist at the Department of Physics at HKU.

‘Close-proximity, X-ray-bright supernova remnants such as SN 1006 are ideally suited to IXPE measurements, given IXPE’s combination of X-ray polarisation sensitivity with the capability to resolve the emission regions spatially,’ said Dr Douglas SWARTZ, a researcher based at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, through the Universities Space Research Association. ‘This integrated capability is essential to localising cosmic-ray acceleration sites.’

Previous X-ray observations of SN 1006 offered the first evidence that supernova remnants can radically accelerate electrons and helped identify rapidly expanding nebulae around exploded stars as a birthplace for highly energetic cosmic rays, which can travel at nearly the speed of light. Scientists surmised that SN 1006’s unique structure is tied to the orientation of its magnetic field and theorised that supernova blast waves in the northeast and southwest move in the direction aligned with the magnetic field and more efficiently accelerate high-energy particles.

‘IXPE’s new findings helped validate and clarify those theories,’ said Dr Yi-Jung YANG, co-author of the paper and a high-energy astrophysicist at the Department of Physics of HKU, as well as a member of HKU Laboratory for Space Research. ‘The polarisation properties obtained from our spectral-polarimetric analysis align remarkably well with outcomes from other methods and X-ray observatories, underscoring IXPE’s reliability and strong capabilities,’ Yang said. ‘For the first time, we can map the magnetic field structures of supernova remnants at higher energies with enhanced detail and accuracy – enabling us to better understand the processes driving the acceleration of these particles.’

Researchers say the results demonstrate a connection between the magnetic fields and the remnant’s high-energy particle outflow. The magnetic fields in SN 1006’s shell are somewhat disorganised, per IXPE’s findings, yet still have a preferred orientation. As the shock wave from the original explosion goes through the surrounding gas, the magnetic fields become aligned with the shock wave’s motion. Charged particles are trapped by the magnetic fields around the original point of the supernova blast, where they quickly receive bursts of acceleration. Those speeding high-energy particles, in turn, transfer energy to keep the magnetic fields strong and turbulent.

IXPE has observed three supernova remnants – Cassiopeia A, Tycho and now SN 1006 – since launching in December 2021, helping scientists develop a more comprehensive understanding of the origin and processes of the magnetic fields surrounding these phenomena.

Scientists were surprised to find that SN 1006 is more polarised than the other two supernova remnants but that all three show magnetic fields oriented such that they are pointing outward from the centre of the explosion. As researchers continue to explore IXPE data, they are re-orienting their understanding of how particles get accelerated in extreme objects like these.

IXPE is a collaboration between NASA and the Italian Space Agency with partners and science collaborators in 12 countries. IXPE is led by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Ball Aerospace, headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado, manages spacecraft operations together with the University of Colorado’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics in Boulder.
