#DAWM asks
Note
Apologies if I’m flooding your ask box with questions. I tend to ramble a lot whenever something catch’s my interest. I have four questions if that’s okay.
1. What will be the runtime of DAWM’s Episodes?
2. will the show be more character focused or more story oriented with an overarching plot?
3. Will there be any love triangles or romantic subplots?
4. You mentioned you love both Mascot, analogue horror and children’s media turned horror. So would you consider DAWM to fall into either one of those two categories?
Hiya! No worries, I'm always happy to answer questions when I got the time :o) They're like little treats in between work!
We're looking at between 4-7 minute runtimes. Looking at other indie animators and taking into account how large their teams are, this is the runtime that felt the most realistic. It could be subject to change, however!
The way I've been writing it, the overarching plot ties in to the character focused arcs, so while it has a character-lead plot, there is still an overarching story/theme overall :oD
There are some romantic subplots! ;o) We've actually been exploring some that I think will really hit-- it certainly hit us hard while we were developing them!
When I was rewriting DAWM, I was looking to those genres for inspiration! I think it could still technically fall under some of those genres but I've been working on subverting some expectations to stay away from things like FNAF and WH. I'm now looking at it as a Dreamcore Mascot Horror-Comedy. I noticed some people were tagging it as a puppet ARG and it is not!
Here, a single snippet of a storyboard from an upcoming piece ;o)
#thank you for the ask!#Ask Away Ask Away~#I'm all about transparency babeeeyyyy!!#dawm project#dream along with me#dawm asks

You're Drunk babe
Summary:where Jude is Drunk and the reader has to deal with him
A/N: requests are open
Jude and I are at a club after his training and he's got a week before he has to Report back to club duty so we're spending as much time as possible
I see jude take his 9th shot of the night and I slightly begin to become concerned as this means I have to drive us home, because there is no way he is
"Babe come dance with me" he says
"Jude I can't, I need to make sure you're ok"
"I am, now stop worrying and relax and come dance with me
" Go ahead babe, I'll wait for you here, plus you need it more than me with how hard you've been working"
He stares at me for a while then kisses me on my forehead "I love you" and blends in with the crowd
I sip on my lemon water and slightly boping to the music playing
After 15 minutes I get bored and try to find Jude because I wanna go home
" Mate, what's your problem, I was just trying to get my drink"
" you did it on purpose"
"Oh get over it it's not like you died" Jude says walking away
"Hey love, you alright?"
"Yeah, you ready to go home?"
"Yeah c'mon let's go"
We walk out the club and to the car, I get into the driver seat and Jude in the passenger seat and start the car
"So this is what it feels like to be a passenger princess" He says clearly drunk
"Yep" I say
"You know, some times I wonder what would happen if... if... if, shit I forgot what I wanted to say"
I laugh at him and continue to focus on the road ahead
"Babe?" He says
"Yeah"
"Where are we going?"
"Home Jude"
"Can we take a roadtrip?"
"Not now hunny, first I need to get you home"
"Ok, babe?"
"Yeah"
"Can you please give me a kiss"
"No Jude I'm driving"
"I'll take the wheel" he says
"You'll kill us before we even get to live our lives together"
" Y/n?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you "
"I love you Jude"
I turn my head to see him fast asleep
When we arrive at the house I park the car in the Garage and wake Jude up
"Jude, Jude, babe wake up"
He wakes up and looks at me like he's just seen a Ghost
"C'mon we've arrived, let's go to bed" I say
We walk out the Garage with his arm around my shoulder with most of his weight on me
We walk into the house and walk up the stairs
I toss him in the bed and start undoing his pants and pull them down
"What's, what's happening he says abruptly waking up"
"Calm down it's just me"
"Oh" he says laying back onto the bed
He slightly turns his head to his left hand
And sees his ring
"Sorry lady that's undressing me what's that thing on my hand"
I look at him confused
"Uhm, your wedding ring I say"
"Wait what I'm married" he says
"Yep"
"Then get off me, my wife might walk in and think something is happening"
"Jude, how much did you drink tonight"
"I don't know, but what I know is that my wife won't be happ you seeing you undress me"
"Jude I am your wife"
"Wait really?"
"Yeah, babe we've been married for 3 years now"
"Wait so you're my wife"
"That's what I just said"
"Shit"
"What?"
"Nothing just thinking how beautiful you are, and you're my wife?"
"Yep"
"Dawm, that's mental, you're so beautiful"
I laugh at him and continue changing his clothes
"There you go now you're ready for bed"
"Thank you my beautiful wife"
I smile at his comment and make my way to the bathroom, so I can get ready for bed myself
"Where are you going?" He asks
" The bathroom"
"Can you leave the door open, so I can still hear your voice"
"Weird but ok"
I do as he asked and he starts asking me questions
"So how did we meet"
"We met at a meet and greet when you were signing shirts and posters for fans and I was one of them"
"Did I look good though?"
"Yeah babe you looked hot"
"What else"
"What else do you want to know"
"Did you ever hate me?"
"Nope if I did then I wouldn't be where I am right now"
"Right"
I walk out the bathroom and make my way to bed
"Can you come closer, I wanna cuddle" he says
I shift closer to him and he wraps his arms around me and his head on my shoulder
He pecks my neck and falls asleep

Thai QL fandom 101
ซีรีส์วาย /see ree waai/ = "Y series", Y standing for Yaoi -> BL shows
ซีรีส์ยูริ /see ree yuu ri/ = "Yuri series" -> GL shows
คู่จิ้น /khuu jin/ = shipped couple; the word จิ้น in there comes from the English imagine -> a working partnership between two artists, you might see it romanized as koojin on twt and co.
คู่จริง /khuu jing/ = real couple -> it's a pun on koojin and often used to ask if they're a ship or real
แฟน ๆ /faaen faaen/ or แฟนคลับ /faaen club/ = fans -> since the word for 'partner/bf/gf' is also แฟน /faaen/, artists usually make sure to call fans either of these two, or:
มัมหมี /mam mee/ = mommy; the word หมี in there means bear -> fans are called mommy both by their artists and calling themselves like this, it encompasses all fans, they often call their chosen artists their baby
มัมหมา /mam maa/ = mama; the word หมา in there means dog -> this is also a word to call fans but these fans are actually attracted to their chosen artist or, even funnier, attracted to the other half of that artist's koojin 😂 so you could be a mommy of NetJames and dote on James like your son but thirst after Net lmao
ชื่อด้อม /cheuu dawm/ = "name [of] dom", fandom name -> Thai artists usually have a name for their fandom, e.g. Becky Armstrong > BeckysAngels, GeminiFourth > KhunNoo, so there's even more ways to address fans
กัปตันเรือ /gap dtan reuua/ = captain of the ship -> another person or artist who's close to a koojin who posts content of them, is seemingly always present during their moments, or actively ships them themself, e.g. Kong is the self-proclaimed captain of the KengNamping ship
(from DMD Friendship The Reality EP.3)
ในฐานะที่ผมเป็นกัปตันเรือ [...] /nai thaa na thee pom bpen gap dtan reuua/ = As captain of their ship, [...]
ขายจิ้น /khaai jin/ = "sell a fantasy"; contains the same จิ้น as in koojin -> doing fanservice
(from รถทาเลนท์ EP.21)
ขายจิ้นแน่ ๆ !!! /khaai jin naae naae/ = Fanservice for sure!!!
งอน /ngawn/ vs. ง้อ /ngaaw/ = sulk vs. try to make up with (previously explained here but you could also google 'ngon ngor')
อ้อน /aawn/ = act cute, plead, this emoji 🥺 lol -> comparable to Korean aegyo (애교) but is more used to describe being cute and clingy or acting like a kid with relatives or elders, someone who is/behaves like that can be described as ขี้อ้อน /khee aawn/, e.g. Sea Tawinan gets described like that all the time in bts content of Last Twilight
(from Before Last Twilight)
ซีในกล้องเนี่ยะ เขาจะเป็นคนที่ขี้อ้อน /Sea nai glaawng niia khao ja bpen khohn thee khee aawn/ = Sea on set- he's a clingy/affectionate person.
#thai bl#thai gl#thai ql#kong kongpob#kengnamping#joong archen#joongdunk#sea tawinan#jimmy jitaraphol#becky armstrong#geminifourth#netjames#local woman harps on about linguistics#don't ask me what suddenly brought this on#one minute i was posting that poohpavel clip and the next one i was already typing this up

Permission to start my chaos asks of unhinged Virgil again?
As much as I love the fluff and NSFW I missed making him unhinged af because gahd dawm is he hot af while unhinged
He likes to watch you, especially when you sleep :)
At times he even lays down in bed with you and stares. Of course he won’t touch you. Not without your consent. He wouldn’t dare betray your trust!
He can be a bit delusional at times. Like I said, his common trait in every versions of Virgil is being a caretaker, he enjoys to taking care of someone. And he still is! Just uhhh somewhat twisted that he didn’t even notice!
He love to wear your clothes! It gives him the comfort that you’re with him! (Even if you’re not at the time-) but don’t worry! He’ll always wash them! Just don’t ask why some of your undergarments are missing he has no idea why! Maybe you have misplace somewhere?
He has this weird fascination about staring your face (yes that’s right more staring!) he likes to see every single detail of your face, your eyes, your lips, your nose, your flesh, everything, staring at you so your face can burn inside his memory forever.
He has your ip, your home address too, your government file says a lot about you/j

Tell us about Esther! I saw her on instagram and she looks cute :3
I love seeing people make DAWM oc’s- we need more!
AAHHHH?? A DAWM FAN?? ON ME?? OMG?! RARE- YES YES. OFC, I’LL GIVE YOU WHAT U WANT.
I really wanted to make art for this post since Esther has gone through some changes under the sun- buuttt- sadly I couldn’t think of anything 😔
Anyways, Esther Skylight is magical puppet :0 and I tried to make her design related to the night sky!! Like her front bang, looks like a moon! A little collar with a star, and I planned to give her star freckles like Archie but I forgot about them 😭😭😭 Her entire design is with blue, for a night emotional sky!
Esther is often in the clouds, that’s how she spends her days and nights- but she is pulled to the town for special events and occurrences. She has the ability to go down herself, she’s just so shy and overthinks. And so often, it’s always Mae or Bertie calling her down 😂 In that insta post, I did mention that she saw it as a curse. But Esther isn’t necessarily bound to the sky. I don’t know what I was thinking when I made her- I just put a design and slapped facts on her. Which is so sad bc my bby didn’t deserve that 😭
Esther is still confirmed a book-worm. And she often goes by Honeybell’s bookstore. But she never really greets HB- so when she comes in and goes in front of HB to ask a question, she always manages to spook her!
Esther isn’t as artistic as I made her, more of that she can at least draw… decently. But her coloring job is amazing- but she never practices other aspects 😭 Her neurodivergent brain gets too distracted easily. (Talking abt that, Esther has ADHD and is autistic. She also has OCD.)
Esther is still a big fan of Teddy, but doesn’t necessarily have a crush on him as I intended. She actually has eyes for… hmm. For her sake, I’ll just say he’s a very oblivious sweetheart. But still, Esther tries her best to attend each and every show- but doesn’t always make it. And if she’s too late, she just moves on to do something else with her time since she fears to just step in right in the middle of the show. (Also have that fear.)
Esther also has a little side-job. Just working beside Mae and Bertie! It’s her favorite thing to pass the time, and yes! She made herself a cute uniform! I’ll totally doodle it later 😭 if I remember!
Okay, I mentioned Esther was a magical puppet. And she’s a puppet from the sky. So, I’ll just spill a few powers she has.
• Telekinesis
• Clairvoyance
• Illusion
• Creation (Only lasts for minimal time and uses a lot of energy)
• Levitation
• Regeneration (Often not used)
Though for one of her magical powers, there’s a reason she wears her star collar. If activated near a spirit, Esther has the ability to see the dead! :o
Okay- erm. Now to think of plain and simple facts… Oh! Esther is panromantic, and asexual. She’s Dream-A-Long’s Sentimental Sky-Joy! And she’s at least around her mid twenties. She’s 5’6. And Esther is adopted! Her family is all made of goblins, but after she moved out to find somewhere else new- she was in the clouds. Almost like… she was meant to be there? :0
Her entire vibe should totally remind people of the song- “Lost at a Sleepover.” By OMORI. (I’ve never played or seen the game so if it’s bad or smth- IM SORRY :(((()
Esther is nocturnal- but it’s not like she sleeps at all anyway? She kind of just says she doesn’t need to. Only thing that makes her deathly tired is overusing her abilities to a far extent. Which never happens since Esther doesn’t wanna show off.
Esther’s relationship with Archie is strange. The two barely communicate, but they don’t necessarily dislike one another. It’s just their aura and presence that makes the other uneasy and uncomfortable… Wonder why?
Though, Esther enjoys the shenanigans in the town! Her friends make sure she is included! And she’s always so happy to join in!
ANYWAYSS THAT WAS SO MUCH FUNNN <33 OMG THIS IS SO LONG 😭 BUT I HOPE YOU LIKE IT AT BEST- I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY BUT I RATHER WAIT INSTEAD SINCE I DONT WANNA RANT TOO MUCH OFF AND THEN NEW CONTENT COMES AND IT WOULDNT MAKE SENSE SOOOO 😭😭😭😭
BYE BYE DREAMERS!! 🌌
#OMG A DAWM FAN??#RARE OCCURRENCE!!#ESTHER SKYLIGHT#dream along with me#I really wanted to make art#crying emoji#but I couldn’t think so#rant post#rant#oc rant#hehehe#dream along with me fan oc#dream along with me oc#dawm#dawm oc

Biblical Names We Pronounce Incorrectly
On Facebook I am a part of several nerd related grounds. Many of them are not Christian. One group in particular, “Galactic Hitchhikers” is almost anti-Christian. This group formed out of a community love for a fantastic novel and its sequels: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Many memes on this page include anything related to sci-fi, space, movie adaptations, quotations, evolution and even Christian shaming. One thing I have noticed, besides the lack of Christian content, was one reason why several of the group’s members find Christianity “bogus”. When I read about it, I thought, “This is a relatively easy problem to solve, if we can get Christians on board.” Some people are put-off by the Anglican/American pronunciations of Hebrew and Greek names in the Bible. They ask, “How can a dark haired middle-eastern man be named David? Or Joseph? Or fill-in-the blank.” They believe that if we are authentic (and we absolutely should be authentic), how could our English pronunciations infiltrate? To them, they think our pronunciations of Biblical names, were the actual names of everyone we read about, and they can’t stand it.
As Christians, and especially the preachers of the Gospel, we do not want our actions to deter anyone from coming to the saving power of Jesus Christ. Every decision we make has a cause and effect. So, if people aren’t coming to Christ because of our “simple” pronunciations, then we should change, or at the very least, learn that our pronunciations are actually wrong.
If we want to be as authentic as possible, we should learn the proper names of all of our favorite Biblical characters, especially when the salvation of others is at stake. To you, it might seen like a silly, insignificant thing, but to those who recognize it, it is significant. I am not suggesting that we learn the proper names and then use them only—we just need to be aware that we, as English/Anglican speakers, are not doing it justice.
This multi-part series investigates the correct pronunciations of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek names in the Bible. The source I am going to be using is “The New Strong’s Complete Dictionary of Bible Words (1996) by James Strong. (This is not a complete list of all Biblical names.)

Hello! I really love your project and the wonderful cast <3,it really have that childhood and dreamy feel to it!
Anyways, can you tell us about teddy and oddrey relationships, kinda wondering what they think of each other if it is not too specific ^^!
Hiya hiya!! Thank you for the really nice words! Aaahhh!! I'm really happy to have made something that people really resonate with/makes them feel nostalgic! That's what I'm aiming for! <:o)
And of course of course-- They are so friends! Teddy is definitely not a sarcastic cheekster! Oddrey definitely doesn't try to push him down the stairs or sabotage any attempt from him to get closer to his inamorata! It's so cordial and polite, their interactions! She's so nice to him, it's insane :o0
#She's so chill about his exploitation of Spooks for his show#Antiquated Teddy drawing because I have no time ahaHAAA#thank you for the ask!#dawm project#dream along with me#dawm asks

Genesis 1
In the beginning, we’re told, there was gods.
Yes, gods. Don’t like it? Take issue with the original: “אֱלהִים” wasn’t my idea. Stupid idea, if you ask me, pluralizing “אֱלוֹהַּ.” Did I ask the original writers of this book to do that? No. It was all their brilliant idea. Why did they think this was a good idea? I don’t know! Do I look like a necro-telepath to you?
Anyhow. In the beginning, there was gods. And gods went right ahead and created the ground and the space above the ground. Also there was a lot of water. And things were dark, because there wasn’t any light.
Also the spirit (or wind or breath or mind or…) of gods was hovering over the water, which I guess is to give us an idea of where they were in all this.
So we’ve got some ground, and some water, and some space, and a gods.
Then gods goes ahead and speaks light into existence. That’s right: they “hey, Siri”d light into existence, except without Siri because they’re gods and whatever they command just plain happens. Poof, light. Nothing emitting it. Nowhere for it to come from. But hey—there’s light. Completely and utterly sourceless. Don’t ask me how that works, because I have no idea. So far as I know it’s actually impossible. But here we are. Gods, right?
Next gods takes a look at the light and decides it’s all right. So they divide it from the darkness, which… apparently didn’t happen automatically. Strange, you’d think it would. How could light not be divided from darkness?
If you’ve got photons, you haven’t got an absence of photons. Got an absence of photons? Boy, do I have news for you: you haven’t got any photons!
But somehow light (the presence of photons) was indistinguishable from darkness (the absence of photons) until gods separated the two. How is this possible? I don’t know! This makes no sense whatsoever! Ahahaha! Gods, amiright?
Anyway.
Gods’s next move is to call the light “day” and the darkness “night.”
Oh, so we’re talking about some generalized light and darkness here, not “I lit a candle so now it’s day in my room” stuff… right? Right?
Note that there’s still no source for the light. “The sun is shining on this part of the planet, so it’s day here” is not a thing. Day is completely independent of the sun. The light fades out—evening—and fades back in—morning—and here we are, the first day. With no sun. Just light. Coming from… nowhere. Gods, man. They make no sense. Presumably there was a night in between that evening and morning somewhere, but who knows?
[cough]
So. Gods’s next move, on this first day of all days, is to create a firmament.
What the heck is a firmament.
“רָקִיעַ,” as it turns out, is an “extended surface.” So that’s what a firmament is: it’s a solid, flat, long and wide thing that’s useful as a base or a support. All right. Fine.
Where does gods put this firmament? Uh… in the water. Dividing it. So there’s some water below this firm, extended surface, and some water above it. And gods calls this thing “sky,” which is… interesting, because I’m pretty sure no airplanes or rockets or what-have-you have ever run into a firm, extended surface anywhere up there in the sky, and there’s no water outside the atmosphere, so—
No, no, don’t stone me.
If the Bible says the sky is a solid thing with water above it, well. Who am I to question the Bible, right? I’m sure there wouldn’t be any misinformation in here. The Bible is a great source of scientific knowledge, or so I’ve been repeatedly told.
Maybe there was an OS update later, or something. “Remove solid sky.” Who knows? Gods move in mysterious ways.
So. Speaking the sky into existence in the midst of the waters so as to put some water above it and some water below it takes up the whole of the first day! The completely sourceless light fades out, then back in again, starting up the second sunless day. Was there a night in there? Who knows! It’s not mentioned! You’d think we could assume, but—gods! Gods be weird, man. They might just be skipping it.
Second day, gods talks the water under the sky into bunching up into one spot so as to clear some dry land. You’d think this would result in a big pile of water towering over the land, but—gods! Maybe it was like that. Maybe it wasn’t. We don’t know.
Anyway, gods names the gathered-together water “sea” and the dry land “earth.”
Gods checks out what they’ve got so far, and decides it’s good.
This doesn’t take all day, by the way! They’ve still got time, so next they tell “earth” to sprout some plants: stuff that produces seeds and stuff that produces fruit that’s got seeds in it and stuff that produces fruit that is a seed. So… potatoes? Strawberries? Almond trees? Sunflowers? That kind of thing, I guess.
And earth sprouts the stuff. Pretty good considering gods never bothered to create any helpful microorganisms. Or a sun. And that they put all the water in existence either on the other side of the sky or in a big heap off to the side somewhere.
Gods, man. I know I keep saying it, but they defy reason, they really do.
So. They check it all out and go, “Yup, that’ll work.” And just in time, too, because the light fades out and back in again, and the third day starts.
Third day, gods figures it’s finally time for some sky decoration.
Why a sun is needed to shed light on the earth during the day when we’ve already had two perfectly well-lit days with no sun at all, gods only knows. The moon and stars make a little more sense, since light’s been completely excluded from the night—but wait, isn’t light day? And doesn’t sticking day into night kind of….
Well, never mind.
The point is, gods speaks a whole lot of lights into existence: a big one, a smaller one, and a lot of really little ones.
The idea is that these will really set the day and night apart from one another all fancy-like, and also they’ll be good for miraculous signs and omens and showing people what day or year or season it is. Super handy.
Now, don’t you get on my case about the sun and moon and stars being set up deliberately for use as signs from on high. This wasn’t my idea. “וְהָי֤וּ לְאֹתֹת֙,” gods says: “let them be for signs, omens, warnings, assurances.” I didn’t write this. Stop glaring at me like I invented the idea of the horoscope.
[sigh]
Well. So. Gods sets all these lights in the firmament. Yes, that’s right—in the firm stretched-out thing dividing the water under itself from the water above itself. Right inside it.
Don’t look at me like that. It’s not me that says this, it’s the Bible.
Incidentally, the sun and moon and stars are all the same type of thing: lights. Every one of them is a luminary—you know, an object that gives off light, a source of light.
Stop looking at me like that.
I’m not the one who says the moon is the same type of thing as the sun, only lesser. Anyway, who are you to say the moon doesn’t produce light? The Bible says it’s the same thing as the sun, just smaller and weaker! Who are you to question the Bible, huh?
So the sun and the moon and all the stars are inside the solid expanse of the sky, which has water above it. I don’t make the rules.
This little job takes all of the third day.
That’s right: commanding things into existence is time-consuming work.
The light fades, presumably taking the sun with it this time, then comes back again (probably bringing the sun with it this time, too), and here we are: the fourth day.
Gods commands the water to produce a whole bunch of living things. Does this include the water above the sky? That is up for debate! The Bible never says. Maybe there are fish above the sky. Maybe there aren’t. We don’t know, because we aren’t told. We could make guesses, or assume, but—gods, over here. Anything is possible.
Gods also commands there to be flying things, to fly above the earth, across the face of the sky.
So over the earth, under (but right up against) the firmament.
And that’s how everything in the sea and everything that flies got created. Right there and then. Fourth day. Gods checks it all out and yup, it’s good. But they’re not done there, oh no. They gotta endow all these creatures with the ability to reproduce. So they do that, and then they’re done, and the day is over.
Evening, morning, fifth day.
Would this be a good time to mention that traditionally, for the people who first believed this book, each new day starts at sunset? Sun sets, one day’s over, the next one’s started. So technically Wednesday night belongs to Thursday.
Yeah, not really important. Just a side note. Fifth day!
On the fifth day, gods tells the earth to sprout living creatures. Yeah, it’s the same word from when the earth sprouted plants. “יָצָא.” Once again, not my idea.
So the earth sprouts mammals and reptiles and bugs and all that.
Gotta emphasize here—this is gods making this stuff. Not the earth. Gods told the earth to do it and the earth did it, but that still counts as gods doing it. Okey-doke? Good. Glad we’re on the same page.
Gods inspects the lot and calls it good.
You ever notice what things gods inspects and what things they don’t? The ground and the space above it and the water—they never inspected that. Never checked it out and saw it was good. The darkness? Nope. Just assumed that one was all right, I guess. The firmament? Once again, free pass.
Anyway, creating every living creature on the land that doesn’t fly takes less time than creating a firmament, so gods goes on to another project.
“Let us make ‘Adam’ in our image, similar to us, and have it dominate all over living things and even the earth itself!”
Yeah, “אָדָם,” “aw-dawm, adam.” Just means “human,” basically. Or “man.”
Hey, “man,” “human,” what’s the difference?
So poof, there’s Adam, or Human, or Man—whatever you want to call it. Created in the image of gods, male and female.
...Okay, okay, I hear you! First we’ve got the plural “אֱלהִים” for one being, so I’m stuck saying “gods” when there’s a perfectly good singular “אֱלוֹהַּ” available, but I can’t use it and just say “god” because that’s not what the Bible says—and now we’ve got the singular “אָדָם” but it’s male and female so there must be two of it, right? Or is it intersex? Are “gods” a single being? Is “Adam” more than one person? Gaaaah!
The only thing to do is look at what the divinely inspired writer is actually saying.
Gods is plural. Adam is singular. Multiple gods created a single human, and that human was both male and female.
“But,” I hear you say, “this isn’t what I was taught in church!”
Well, I can’t help that, can I? It’s what the Bible says! It’s right there in divinely inspired black and white! “אֱלהִים” is plural! “הָֽאָדָם” is singular! This isn’t my idea! It clashes with what I was taught, too! But here it is! You want me to pretend these aren’t the words this divinely inspired writer used?
Thank you.
The gods endow this dual-sexed being with the ability to reproduce itself using basically the same words they used to bless the sea creatures and the flying things with that ability—“be fruitful and multiply”—which I guess means asexual reproduction was the original plan for humanity. Then again, who knows? These are gods. Maybe the plan was for Adam to split into two for the act, then recombine. Or some other weird thing that I can’t even think of. They’re, you know… gods. Anything is possible.
Incidentally, Adam is another thing that gets a free pass on the inspection deal! The gods don’t bother to check and see if Adam’s any good, nope. They just charge right on ahead into setting up what Adam’s going to eat (seeds and fruit, in case you were wondering), and what the other non-sea-based creatures are going to eat (the plants themselves).
Yes, vultures ate plants. Lions ate plants. Mosquitoes ate plants. Don’t question it. These are gods. They can do what they want.
Still the fifth day here, in case you were curious. Unless the time before light and darkness got separated counts as a day, in which case it’s the sixth day—but still. This is a lot to get done in one day. Guess they’re really hitting their stride, these gods.
And they’ve got time left, so they look over everything they’ve made and decide it’s all a-okay.
Evening, morning, sixth day starts.
Or seventh, depending on how you’re counting.

Hello! I've been playing hzd and I'm level 23 now and I feel like I burn through my medicine pouch and potions very quickly when I'm in fights? I try to be stealthy but when that fails I feel like I'm screwed. Would you reccommend any equipment or mods that would make Aloy more formidable? Thank you!
Utilize all of your traps, they will save your ass every time. For emergency health situation, the first step is upgrading your medicine and potions pouch (pick all the plants whenever you can) so you have the max safety cushion. Other than that, stock up on all the health potions when you are buying from merchants. I can’t remember what it’s called but get the yellow one for sure because it has an armor element to it. And if you have melee/fire/shock resistant modification weaves, apply those to Aloy’s outfits.

becoming 20something.
okay so boom... there i am in matric sitting next to Lerato and applying for any and very course i could think of. just as long as i get into uj, then i’m good. the reality of how real shit was about to get in a few months didnt kick in.
there was a clear difference between how me and Lerato felt about school. my interest was inconsistent, it depended on various things from how much i liked my teacher, what incentive would i receive for getting good marks...
keep in mind, i wanted to take a gap year after matric but since that wasn’t an option, i just settled for getting into a university and never thought after that. meanwhile Lerato has it all figured out. literally... she knows what she wants to study, where, why, bursaries, financial aid.. she even knows the order of how her career is gonna work out. everything thoroughly thought out and researched.
fast forward to after high school, i choose to study jewellery because it sounds easy, i mean doesnt seem too complicated. a few months down the line, i think to myself:”dawm this is shit, what were you thinking?” because i mean everything is great in theory but when it comes to practice, the actual doing of the thing. now thats a shit fest. my gosh... so then i decide,”i mean one year down, whats two more years?” the answer to is two more years is 3 more years because i failed one module by 2%. come on TWO percent! i mean how pathetic, i didn’t even fail properly, i failed by a landslide basically. and no my lecturer wouldn’t give me the two percent because the rules state that the student must have atleast 49% then and only then can you “make up marks’...which is trash if you ask me. you score badly on one assignment and your entire year is ruined. second year comes and oh my freak i can actually do this. because im Khumi baby and i’m an optimist as fuck. until October came and i just couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel because if these next two years are gonna be as long as the past two years then i just wont make.
fast forward to this moment right now when im in bed having quality conversations with my son. telling him that i hope by the time hes 16 he already has it figured out for the next 12years.. so that when hes 22 he is already on his startup. so that he isnt 22 and only then starting to figure out the whole life thing instead of letting it happen to him. because lets face it, if youre 18/19 and you dont have it figured out for 24 then its already too late. just hope that by 21/22 you can figure it out for 26.
and yeah i know theres nothing wrong with studying something new at whatever age youre at and any point in your life, blah blah blah... another thing we should face... you get to a certain age and at that point in your life when you realise life has been happening to you. you realise where you couldve been had you known at 18/19 what you know now. you could be stepping into the beginning stages of adulting and being on your own two feet... so for those of you that know 100 what im talking about. lets start doing things that scare us the most because those are the things worth doing.lets start tapping into our greatness and get to where we’re meant to be in this trap called life. lets start looking at 26
