Blue eyed grey cats challenge but it's the DLC I was gonna say "Bluestar's extended family edition" but then remembered that in the context of Warrior Cats, this statement is very superfluous

as a rule I don’t have much interest in mafia/gang AUs but I did enjoy that one time I wrote Gil as a pmc arms dealer but that’s mostly because I was just channelling as much metal gear solid as humanly possible

OK @amarocit I did, unfortunately, read the article, and the answer is she does not think we breed humans like cats per se but she does

Learn her mother was a Holocaust survivor at age 34 when her parents divorce

Have an identity crisis because "Jewishness is inherited matrilineally," and her parents had "baptized a Jewish baby," despite her mother's conversion, implying like. An ontological quantum of Jewishness stored in maternal RNA or something

Have another identity crisis when her mother takes ethnicity and religion separately and says at most she is half-Jewish (ethnically) and it doesn't count (halakhically, religiously) because she was raised Catholic, baptized, and her mom converted

Her cats offer consolation in this trying time

She describes her Jewish heritage as a "motley pedigree" and compares it to her cats, who are half-Burmese and half-mutt

She begins genealogy research. One cat dies. For some reason she feels compelled to get a "real, honest-to-goodness Burmese cat," adds some Orientalist flourish about Myanmar, describes the cat as "imperious"

Veering uncomfortably close to race science & fin-de-siecle anthropology language about closed Jewish communities/lack of intermarriage here, Krysia

She needs to prove her Jewishness to herself by way of Ancestry dot com

This is the most Polish article on the planet

Whatever the fuck this is:

Fin

#I'm writing an essay about this awful article and how it is uh. Very reflective of Poles who find out about #Jewish ancestry etc etc etc #How it ties into national historical Discourse comma politics personal identity and also #IMMIGRANTS!!! THIS WOMAN IS AN IMMIGRANT #it's all there #assimilation and its discontents #Her mom even kept her gentile nom de guerre - something I wrote about assimilated Polish Jews doing

added the mangled t’au word “kara’mont’au” to rinyon’s name

from their word for warp portals and, of course, the term for the dark times (also a word for t’au who don’t work well with others)

About the Circle of Wrath

[Rewrote this because there some things I didn’t like + I changed some things in the worldbuilding]

(Trigger Warnings: gaslighting, overwork and its effect on the body (wounds are mentioned), toxic work environment, mention of psychological and physical abuse, very light gore, victim blaming.

This is the point of view of a character who has basically given up - but I have to point out this is a part of a backstory and it’s not his actual status -, so if you want a “it’s bad, but there’s stil a bit of hope/optimism” kind of work avoid this one.)

Click clack click clack.

That was the sound he often heard when he was still alive and working, and that was the sound he knew was going to accompany him for his eternity trapped in, for the little he had seen before getting a desk assigned, an infinite office somewhere in the Circle of Greed.

Click clack click clack.

Genji hasn’t accepted his afterlife is being forced to stay in front a computer, but he learned to deal with it: he has learned to not make anything distract him, to not divert his focus unless directly called; to ignore the other sinners’ moans of pain; to just deal with the ache in his arms, as well as the wounds all over his back and the burning of his eyes.

He also learned to control his shudders when he hear the steps of any “supervisor”, as he called them in his head - what he still hasn’t learned, aside the fact they mostly look like fellow sinners or demons with animal-like features, is how many they exactly are and if they take turns or if they all work at the same times but follows different routes -.

Click clack click clack.

“You’re lucky, you know.”

Click clack click clack.

As always, Genji doesn’t divert his gaze from his screen and tries to not think too much about the fact he now understands what once to him sounded like inhuman gibberish. He can only assume the owner of the voice is going back and forth, considering by the way the volume of the sound of the voice and steps vary.

It must be the otter-like demon he had mistaken for a kawauso the first time he caught a glance of him, the one who plague the place with a rotten fish stench and does nothing but rants as if everything annoyed him.

On one hand, Genji doesn’t mind him too much compared to the other demons: there are times some of his rants are funny, he doesn’t hit or disturb others just for the sake of it and it’s easy to not make him angry - all a sinner has to do is to not talk to him, and look busy.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t times where Genji just wishes the otter-like demon would just shut up and go somewhere else.

Click clack click clack.

“Have you ever been to the Circle of Wrath? The Styx? Ah, of course not, that was a stupid question,” he says with his usual high-pitched voice while sniffling at the end of every sentence.

Click clack click clack.

“Let me tell you, it’s not a fun place to be.”

Click clack click clack.

“You think you have it bad? Well, at least here you are protected. At least no one interrupts your work. At least here you’re making yourself useful.”

Click clack click clack.

“Sinners there are free to roam and do whatever they like. Anything. You could take any random sinner from there and then... well, only your imagination is a limit. Sounds great, right? Many agree. Some find it a stress-relieving place. It’s fun. Until you get targeted or you haven’t still reached a point where you’re feared enough that no one dares to attack you, that’s it. Even if you’re just passing, you need to be careful.”

Click clack click clack.

“Don’t let me even start with how newbies are treated there. If you only get beaten and then left somewhere to drown, you’re one of the luckiest. Nothing compared to what we do here.”

Click clack click clack.

“And if it gets too peaceful? My colleagues there have to stir up chaos again. You just have to accuse or hurt the right people, or promise something in exchange. Again, fun for those who are strong or furtive enough, not so much for everyone else.”

Click clack click clack.

“It’s like… what was the name of that surface movie? It was more than one, if I’m not mistaken. The Part? Purging? No, there was a The…”

Click clack click clack.

“The Purge?” a hoarse voice says.

Genji rolls his eyes. Everyone knows that, when the otter-like demon does his one-sided rants no one should reply unless they want to be insulted or, when he’s really in a bad mood, bitten and scratched. Perhaps it’s one of the new arrivals who still hasn’t learned how things work.

Contrary to all expectations, the otter makes an approving sound.

Click clack click clack

“The Purge, right! Well, imagine it, but there’s water and mud everywhere, instead of lasting just some hours it’s eternity and with way more stuff happening instead of only murder.”

Click clack click clack.

“And you all think you have it bad. And oh! Don’t make me start on the seventh circle! That too, it’s pretty nasty business…”

Click clack click clack.

Genji wants to beg ask him to stop talking; to tell him he doesn’t want to hear anything about other Circles and doesn’t care who has it best or who has it worst, to not complain as if the demon was the one being forced to sit down and deal with the ulcers caused by not being able to get up and his eyes burning more and more.

But, as he always does, he keeps his mouth shut: what would he gain if he dared to do as he actually wanted, aside from being yelled at and/or beaten? What would he gain when there’s nowhere to run? When the ones who rebel and/or “interact too much” with the others get heavily punished?

Click clack click clack.

All he can do is to endure it and try to tune out the otter’s rambling, now focusing on centaurs and hunted sinners.

Calling Shinsou by His Pro-Hero Name in Bed:

The first time you say it, he’s got you on your back on the desk in his office, his pants barely undone and your panties pulled to the side. His rhythm falters, his hips still as his perpetually sleepy eyes widen substantially.

It had never even crossed his mind, but suddenly it’s like a switch has been flipped—now it’s all he wants to hear from your sex-drunk lips.

He quickly realizes that you haven’t even registered saying it. Your eyes are hazy, a few tears trickling and smudging some of your eyeliner. Shallow breaths accompany needy whimpers as you try to roll your hips, frustrated beyond belief that he’s not moving. You practically sob out, “‘shi, why’d’ya stop?”

Christ, you look so beautiful, fucked-out and desperate for him.

He immediately resumes fucking you, but this time—he’s throwing your legs over his shoulders, gripping your thighs tightly enough to dig his nails into the supple flesh, and thrusting into you like it’s all he was made to do. His new pace speeds up past its predecessor, and he’s snarling out demands in a way he never has before.

“Say it again, princess…”

“Hi-hito..shi—”

Your broken attempts are cut off when a cry is torn from your throat. One of his hands had cracked against your ass hard enough to make you clench suddenly around him. His head tips back for a moment, a string of curse words being tossed towards the ceiling.

Then his gaze is locked on you once more, eyes heavily lidded, but somehow still blazing hot. “Nope. Try again, slut. And if you say Shinsou, I’m gonna turn your ass red.”

You let out a frantic mewl, wracking your addled brain for what else you could’ve called him… Something finally beckons to you.

“P-please, Mindjack — fuck me! Ha-arder, please!”

His eyes slam shut and he grits his teeth harshly, fighting to strengthen the tenuous grip he has on his sanity as he keeps his pace. You suddenly feel a hand squeezing the sides of your throat.

“What a smart little kitten… such a pretty slut for your hero, hm? Say it again.”

You obey eagerly, repetition your only focus, and he rewards you with a finger circling your clit. You scream yourself hoarse, sure anyone else working late hours could hear you, floors away. His nom de guerre is the only thing you can recall—everything else has drifted leagues away while he fucks you brainless.

This man doesn’t need his quirk to have complete control of you.

With a history of short-term governments in Nepal’s 15 years of democratic progression, the current reconfiguration is no surprise, and it will be no surprise if the Maoists get back again with the Nepali Congress in months and years to come.

Power sharing, political discontent, ideological differences, underperformance, and pressure to restore Nepal to a Hindu state – a long list of reasons reportedly forced the Maoists to sever ties with the Nepali Congress. While the Nepali Congress expected the Maoist leader and current prime minister, Pushpa Kamal Dahal (also known by his nom de guerre, Prachanda) to leave the alliance, it did not expect an overnight turnaround. [...]

Dahal reportedly conveyed to the Nepali Congress chair, former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, that external pressure forced him to join hands with CPN-UML and form a new government.

If this assertion is true, China emerges as a plausible factor, given its historical inclination toward forging alliances with leftist parties in Nepal. This notion gains credence in light of China’s past efforts, such as its unsuccessful attempt in 2020 to mediate the conflict between Oli and Dahal.

On the other hand, India has enjoyed a comfortable working relationship with the Nepali Congress and the Maoists. Although Maoists were a challenging party for New Delhi to get along with when Dahal first gained the prime minister’s seat in 2008, the two have come a long way in working together. However, the CPN-UML has advocated closer ties with the northern neighbor China; Beijing suits both their ideological requirements and their ultra-nationalistic outlook – which is primarily anti-India. [...]

India faces challenges in aligning with the Left Alliance for two key reasons. First, the energy trade between Nepal and India has grown crucial over the past couple of years. However, India strictly purchases power generated through its own investments in Nepal, refusing any power produced with Chinese involvement. With the CPN-UML now in government, Nepal may seek alterations in this arrangement despite the benefits of power trade in reducing its trade deficit with India.

Second, India stands to lose the smooth cooperation it enjoyed with the recently dissolved Maoist-Congress coalition. During the dissolved government, the Nepali Congress held the Foreign Ministry, fostering a favorable equation for India. Just last month, Foreign Minister N.P. Saud visited India for the 9th Raisina Dialogue, engaging with top Indian officials, including his counterpart, S. Jaishankar.

As concerns arise for India regarding the Left Alliance, there is also potential for shifts in the partnership between Nepal and the United States, a significant development ally. Particularly, there may be a slowdown in the implementation of the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) projects. Despite facing domestic and Chinese opposition, the Nepali Parliament finally approved a $500 million MCC grant from the United States in 2022, following a five-year delay.

China perceives the MCC as a component of the U.S.-led Indo-Pacific strategy, countering its BRI. Hence Beijing aims to increase Chinese loans and subsidies to Nepal to enhance its influence.

To conclude, the re-emergence of Nepal’s Left Alliance signals a shift in power dynamics, impacting domestic politics and regional geopolitics. With China’s influence growing, Nepal’s foreign policy may tilt further toward Beijing, challenging India’s interests. This shift poses challenges for India, particularly in trade and diplomatic relations, while also affecting Nepal’s partnerships with other key players like the United States.

Fighter Abu Mujahid, 39, spokesman for al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades members in the Jenin refugee camp, makes a rare visit to see his 5-year-old son.

He spoke to The Post on the condition that he be identified by his nom de guerre because he is wanted by israel.

When you see crimes daily and there’s no protection … we started to rise up again,” he said.

Superhero whose nom de guerre is an incredibly obvious wordplay or pun related to their powers who simply refuses to acknowledge it. Just straight "I don't get it" whenever anyone brings it up, and acts like you're spouting nonsense if you try to explain. It's genuinely unclear whether they actually don't see it or whether they're fucking with you.

Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

Jay, Raven & Lark

The trio of Jay, Raven and Lark were each highly trained assassins who worked in the employ of The Penguin.  Although the three beautiful young women appeared to be merely hostesses at the Iceberg Lounge, after hours they acted as The Penguin’s merciless minions and took care of the various criminal endeavors he needed tended to with plausible deniability.  

The three additionally acted as bodyguards to The Penguin and stepped in whenever their boss appeared to be at risk. When the disgruntled lieutenant of the late King Barlow broke into the Iceberg Louge looking to assassinate The Joker, Jay, Raven and Lark quickly leapt into action to protect The Penguin.      

Later, when the thief Roxy Rocket was attracting too much attention to The Penguin’s schemes, he sent the three assassins to ‘clip her wings.’  Although formidable combatants, the trio proved no match for Roxy and the thrill seeking villainess got away.  

Jay, Raven and Lark are likely not these women's true names; more likely avian nom de guerre(s) assigned to them by The Penguin.

Actress Tara String provided the voices for the three hench-women, with the trio first appearing in the seventh episode of the first season of the New Batman Adventures, ‘Joker’s Millions.’
