Song 4!

Well this will be interesting- I got the vampire masequerade, so this'll be fun.

Spoilers for Shadowbringers, TW: Body horror, transformation, and loss of sense of self.

There was only a burning light now. A sheering red hot feeling across the entire body, that refused to cool down or to fade away. The flesh and scales of the body being stripped away as they peeled off the skin in chunks. The hair falling away, quickly replaced with golden feathers that erupted from their burnt and scarred scalp..

The corrupted light screamed in their mind. Wanting to be released. To be freed. And if it couldn't, it would break everything in it's way to do so.

Yet, a soul responded against it... Forged from the fragmented beings that comprised it. For so long having remained dormant of it's own will, to allow these souls to function and survive as their own individuals.

Yet now? It screeched. And the Light within cowered.

The soul harnessed the light.. Though it could do little to stop the corruption of the body. Their head was covered in golden feathers that shot upwards, forming a sort of crown that angled out like razor sharp claws. A single sharp spike shot out from the top of their head. Their head was covered in five faces. One had it's eyes stitched shut, another with it's mouth closed with constant tears, one had a constant expression of rage, with glimmering golden eyes. The fourth had it's eyes closed, and a solemn expression, and the final one, the one that gazed outwards, had a blank expression.

The once purple scales had now turned to a saddening gold, with silver specks dotting them. Their skin a harsh porcelain, and their chest had a hole within it's center.. A heart beating within, cracked and shattered. Each beat made the heart turn steadily more golden.

It's arms were shattered at the elbows, and floated at where they should be connected. In one hand they held a shattered staff that had a pulsating orb of light at the end of it. In it's other was a long, shattered blade. An Anima, extinguished alongside it's creator. Once vibrant purple flames now only sputtering sparks around the broken weapon.

The creature gazed out at the group.. Fellows, lovers, and close friends staring in horror at the abomination. The creature gazed out past them.. The look on their faces only haunted them. They instead focused on the man in front of them.

His old, disheveled form staring at first in satisfaction.. Then horror as the blank face turned to one of familiar mourning. The gaze was familiar to them..

...And they let out a saddening voice... None that Levai's friends had known, and not even matching that of those of Lyriun, or Fray. But a new one, a soft, melodeous voice.

"Oh my dearest Hades... What have you done to them...?" Spoke Persephone, now Oblation.. The older of the seat of Azem.

2023 MAY 30 Tuesday

"To keep the law is a great oblation,

and He who observes the commandments sacrifices a peace offering.

In works of charity one offers fine flour,

and when he gives alms he presents his sacrifice of praise.

To refrain from evil pleases the LORD, and to avoid injustice is an atonement.

Appear not before the LORD empty-handed, for all that you offer is in fulfillment of the precepts.

The just man's offering enriches the altar and rises as a sweet odor before the Most High.

The just man's sacrifice is most pleasing, nor will it ever be forgotten.

In generous spirit pay homage to the LORD, be not sparing of freewill gifts.

With each contribution show a cheerful countenance, and pay your tithes in a spirit of joy.

Give to the Most High as he has given to you, generously, according to your means.

For the LORD is one who always repays, and he will give back to you sevenfold.

But offer no bribes, these he does not accept! Trust not in sacrifice of the fruits of extortion,

For he is a God of justice, who knows no favorites."

~ Sirach 35:1-12

sunflower road

Campus urban legends, but make it creepypasta. Posted on Hellopoetry in November 2021.

don’t take a picture on sunflower road. don’t take a picture with him with his arms open wide and his face to the sky or your next four years will be ten don’t take a picture on sunflower road before you have earned your bouquet don’t point your lens at the statuesque man if you don’t wanna be delayed some say there’s no curse, that your fear makes it worse, but still it fulfills without fail like the priestess at delphi each saddening selfie dooms the fool’s smile to a wail it will take what you give til your brain is a sieve so you’ll never leave; never lay down your load listen to stricture, the unwritten scripture: don’t take a picture on sunflower road.

Bawal Magpa-picture

“Ako nalang mag-pipicture sa inyo, ayokong sumama” ang aking sinabi sa aking mga kagrupo.

Kami ay inatasang mag-libot sa campus para sa Art Studies 1 na kursong kinukuha namin noong midyear na iyon. Kailangan naming kumuha ng litrato kasama ang mga ribulto sa campus at siyempre hindi na makakaligtaan si Oble. 

Hindi ko akalain na wala pang isang taon matapos kong kunin ang kursong ito, mas gugustohin ko pang madelay kaysa makapagtapos ng aking unang kursong napili. Naaalala ko pa na pagkatapos ng unang semestre ng aking ikalawang taon ay nakaranas lamang ako ng matinding pagod. Hindi ko masabi sa aking mga magulang na desidido na talaga akong umalis. Nasabi ko na siya dati, ngunit akala ata nila ito yung tipong lahat naman naiisipang mag-shift paminsan-minsan. Naisip ko na baka burnout lang na malulunasan ng onting pahina. Subalit, pagkatapos ng Christmas break, ganoon pa rin ang aking nararamdaman. Enlistment noon at kasama kong naglilibot sa SM North ang aking kapatid. Paluha kong sinabi sa kanya, “Ayoko nang mag-Arki” dahil isa akong walang-hiyang iyakin.

Noong kasama ko na ang aking mga kaibigan habang nakapila sa advising at pagpapa-validate ng Form 5, sinabi ko ka kanila na kukunin ko lahat ng mga mahihirap na kurso at ang lahat ng mga kinatatakutang propessor. Sinabi ko na gagawin ko ito upang tuluyan na akong bumigay. Ang aking mga kaibigan ay naging liban dito, ngunit ginawa ko pa rin. Patawa ko pa itong sinabi, ngunit sa loob ko ay kinakabahan ako sa aking gagawin. Gayunpaman, mas takot pa talaga akong manatili sa Arki nang buong limang taon kaysa magdusa ng isang semestre nalang. 

Noong ako ay paalis na nang UP, bago ako maghanap ng dyip pauwi, pumunta muna ako sa Quezon Hall. Dali-daling nag-selfie kasama ni Oble.

Hindi totoo ang pamahiin na hindi ako makakapagtapos sa tamang oras. Makakapagtapos ako sa oras na tama para sa akin.

Wednesday, November 29: Floor, "War Party"

Torche was so beloved after the monumental one-two punch of Meanderthal and Harmonicraft that the few who knew that Steve Brooks was previously in a different band had mostly forgotten that fact.  But apparently Brooks had enough juice at that point to briefly resurrect Floor, putting out Oblation a decade after their breakup.  And for the many who weren’t aware of the frontman’s history, “War Party” was all the more confusing because as storming, catchy and fun as it was, it didn’t feel the slightest bit different from Torche’s (admittedly very awesome) discography.  Floor’s back catalogue was a touch doomier and slower, but this track was a barnburner full of Brooks’ soaring hollering, pummeling drums and riffing that was both slamming and cavernous.  It ended up making Oblation pretty much a Torche album by another name, even with the otherwise different lineup.  Of course, that still meant “War Party” totally ruled, even if it was basically an extension of Torche’s hot streak.

oh yeah some other misc details about living crypt while I'm remembering it all

>Michael is perfectly fine all throughout the living crypt body horror, and in fact does learn about it and is. just chill. kid's fine. he's told that dada and mimi are inside of papa and can hear him and see him and just takes it as a chance to jump onto Tubbo's lap whenever he came to hug and cuddle the three of them and ask them how they're doing. He is a real little troop about it honestly

>Wilbur has severe guilt induced nightmares about Tubbo eating him. He thinks this is all his fault somehow (as per always)

>Tubbo realizes the effects of cAllium inside of his body are very similar to pregnancy symptoms and jokes about it. constantly. when they're revived and time moves on and they're all a bit more Healed from the whole thing, he will casually refer to this period of their lives as "when I was pregnant with you two" much to Ranboo and Tommy's dismay.

>Tubbo feels Ranboo's fear of water! it doesn't burn him but he needs help with showers and gets startled when washing his hands or doing dishes sometimes. Ranboo feels bad for this

>Tubbo also experiences phantom soreness from Ranboo's unhinging jaw.

>Tubbo can chirp like an enderman and purrs when holding michael,

>Tubbo will sometimes refer to Wilbur as Wilby, fully without meaning to. Tommy gets very very quiet whenever this happens

GOD. I'm glad Michael does fine throughout. And I can fully see Wilbur blaming himself for the whole thing despite. not being there. The thing with Tubbo adopting some of Allium's mannerisms and fears and little day to day things is soo good

Machete has parents?? I'm not familiar with their actual lore, so I've been imagining Machete as a desolate victorian orphan boy

Everyone has parents, he didn't materialize out of thin air (or evolve from a crumpled napkin).

But he lost contact with them early on and doesn't remember much of anything about them. Machete was a sickly kid and his family was going through a rough patch at the time, they were constantly struggling to find the time and funds to care for him. Child mortality was high and it was starting to look increasingly likely that he wouldn't make it. He was around three or four when they left him at the closest monastery that accepted foundlings and he hasn't heard of them since.

#it was child abandonment but I don't think they did it out of malice or anything #monasteries often functioned as hospitals and/or orphanages and his parents hoped it would give him a better fighting chance #sending children to monasteries to be raised as oblates wasn't uniquely uncommon #and it worked he was well looked after there and probably wouldn't have survived otherwise #but of course being separated from your family isn't great for a child's psyche in any situation #answered #anonymous #Vaschete lore #in modern au he has a better but still complicated relationship with his parents #he's not super close to his brothers but they get along fine #so not victorian (different era) and not an orphan (his parents aren't dead they just chose to sever ties with him)
