On the one hand I would prefer a functional government, but on the other, the sheer comedy and Schadenfreude of the House Republicans descending into petty, humiliating chaos while the Dem folks are showing up with literal popcorn and chanting for their own Speaker nominee like this is a high school sports game is filling me with manic glee.

round 1 statistics
hi, gamers! while we wait for the round 2 polls to close, here are some interesting stats and tidbits from round 1 that I noticed :)
total votes: added up, the 52 polls in round 1 had a total of 28,221 votes. holy shit!
largest percentage of votes: sometimes the polls were tight, and other times they were... not. the top 5 most decisive winners were:
Fig Faeth (93.6%)
Kingston Brown (93.2%)
Sofia Lee (90.3%)
Chirp Featherfowl (89.7%)
Pete Conlan (88.8%)
the thinnest margin of victory to eke out a win went to Rue, who beat Amethar Rocks with a slender 52.2% of votes. notably, Rue kept up the trend in round 2, with their even slimmer 50.2% defeat of Gerard of Greenleigh, so it will be interesting to see if they're able to keep clinging on through round 3.
polls with the most votes: some polls really got you fired up, and brought Dimension 20 fans running in droves to vote for their faves...
Lapin Cadbury v Pinocchio with an unparalleled 1,636 votes
Squak Airavis v Kristen Applebees (838 votes)
Sam Nightingale v Colin Provolone (818 votes)
Katja Cleaver v Prince Andhera (767 votes)
Kingston Brown v Gangie Green (718 votes)
... while other polls had less fanfare. polls with the least votes:
Tuti IV v Maggie (347 votes)
Vicar Ian Prescott v Bob (388 votes)
Saccharina Frostwhip v Megan Mirror // Twyla v Marcid the Typhoon (392 votes each)
Bean v Amangeaux Epicée du Peche (409 votes)
Sunny Biscotto v Binx Choppley (416 votes)
it may not surprise anyone to know that it looks like none of the winners of these least-voted-on polls will be advancing to round 3; it seems the passion isn't there for these particular PCs :/
winning PCs with the most individual votes:
Lapin Cadbury (851 votes)
Kingston Brown (669 votes)
Fig Faeth (573 votes)
Evan Kelmp (509 votes)
Kristen Applebees (487 votes)
winning PCs with the least individual votes:
Maggie (255 votes)
Bob (260 votes)
Sam Black (269 votes)
Cody Walsh (274 votes)
Gunnie Miggles-Rashbax (285)
evidently, individual votes accrued in round 1 aren't a great basis for predicting future success - Kelmp was the fourth most-voted for PC in round 1 but won't be making it to round3, and Gunnie was the fifth least-voted for character in round 1 but on track to head into round 3 by a pretty decent margin.
campaign stats:
the most to least successful campaigns, by % of characters that won their round 1 polls:
Fantasy High: 100% (6/6)
Misfits and Magic: 100% (4/4)
A Starstruck Odyssey: 83.3% (5/6)
A Court of Fey and Flowers: 83.3% (5/6)
The Unsleeping City: 77.8% (7/9)
A Crown of Candy: 75% (6/8)*
The Seven: 66.7% (4/6)
Neverafter: 66.7% (4/6)
Mentopolis: 66.7% (4/6)
Burrow's End: 66.7% (4/6)
Coffin Run: 25% (1/4)
Dungeons and Drag Queens: 25% (1/4)
The Ravening War: 20% (1/5)
Escape from the Bloodkeep: 16.7% (1/6)
Pirates of Leviathan: 16.7% (1/6)
Tiny Heist: 0% (0/6)
Mice and Murder: 0% (0/6)
Shriek Week: 0% (0/4)
*ACOC: while Amethar was passes on to round 2 to compete against Pinocchio, he did lose his initial poll against Rue. if we included Amethar as a winner, ACOC would have a considerably higher 87.5% success rate, making it the third most successful campaign overall.
it's definitely interesting to see how the success of various campaigns has changed over round 2! Fantasy High stays strong, while the MisMag crew has been wiped out, and several campaigns have lost all of their remaining PCs. it'll be exciting to see how the numbers look when all of the final votes for round 2 are in.
thank you all so much for playing along with this bracket! I hope you're all still having fun and are getting hype for round three :)

Best and worst of both worlds (part 43)
Tw: graphic body brutalization, mutilation, mentions of blood and urine
Vote down below guys will only consider first 21 votes
Part 44
You had your forehead in your hands as you read the assignment requirements. You couldn't understand a thing and that stressed the life out of you. You turn your head to the side when Yves sets a bowl of crunchy, seedless grapes. They're all cleanly peeled.
Yves stood by you, resting a hand on your shoulder. His thumb is massaging small circles on your flesh, which does calm you down considerably.
You began stuffing your mouth with the grapes out of stress.
Yves lingered for a while as you reread the paragraph the fifth time, trying to make sense of it all.
"Would you like my help, dear?" He asked. You nodded furiously, you needed all the help you could possibly glean.
Yves smiled. He lets you go so he can retrieve a spare chair nearby. He sat next to you and adjusted his reading glasses, as if he predicted you needed his aid.
A hand of his was occupied with smoothing your hair as he explained your assignment in words that you understand. He was soft-spoken, patient and sympathetic, unlike your previous teachers who only knew how to yell and brag about themselves.
From what you understood from your boyfriend, you had to write a 2000-word essay, including some statistics and other maths-y things. Luckily for you, that is up his alley.
He laid it out in simple terms on what you have to do, as it turns out, it was very easy.
You thanked him and went straight to work, opening up a document to type in the cover page and other necessary details.
"(Name), it's late. It would be wiser to start tomorrow." Yves reminded.
You checked the time. It's ten in the evening.
You told Yves that you pulled all-nighters before, this should be nothing since you know what to do.
Yves shook his head at you disapprovingly, his emerald eyes never leaving your tired ones.
You ignored him and tried to proceed with your work. Your boyfriend watched you in silence with his cheek propped up on the back of his hand. You didn't notice how his focus switched between your face and the clock on your laptop.
In the end, you caved in and said that he was right. You couldn't concentrate on the task at hand, all you wanted to do now is either to sleep or scroll through the web.
Yves rose from his seat to help you to your wheelchair, so you could get ready for bed.
__
You asked Yves to sleep with you. Which he gladly complied, so now you're tucked into bed with him being the big spoon. You're tired, but you can't fall asleep; thinking about how your life now is completely different from what it was a month ago. Now you're cuddling with a crazily wealthy man who is the definition of the perfect lover, it seems too good to be true.
Should you tell anyone about what's happening? Your friends back home haven't received an update from you in ages, but you didn't want to come off as braggy. You don't even want to think about how your parents would react.
Why is Yves so nice to you? What could you possibly bring to the table? You're scared that Yves is going to leave you high and dry once he has his fun with you.
"(Name). You're catastrophizing again."
You whipped your head to face Yves in the warm, dim light. How did he know that?
His eyes are closed. "You were clenching your jaw and tensing your neck."
You were about to ask how could he see that, but then you realized he was resting his lips on the top of your head. He probably felt the slight shift in muscles there.
"Close your eyes." He murmured. You did as you were told.
"Breathe." You let out a breath that you didn't know that you were holding. Your body relaxed as your breathing normalized.
The room is quiet once again. It didn't take long until those valid questions and worries returned once more as there was nothing to distract you from them. You were conscious about those small twitches and contractions, not wanting to wake Yves anymore.
You thought about how Yves is now feeding you and housing you from his own pocket. The guilt was there, he didn't have to do that. But then again, he is rich. Filthy rich. So taking care of you this way is as cheap as buying you a candy bar once in a while. However, he isn't hiring anyone to cook your meals, clean you up or even to be your doctor. It was all his doing.
Does he see you as some sort of a project? A... lab rat?
Your train of thought was interrupted by Yves's melodious voice singing softly behind you. The song isn't in English, that's for sure. It was heaven to your ears though and drowned out all the other thoughts that were keeping you up. Allowing you to gradually slip into slumber.
You were so focused on his singing that you didn't notice the beeping of his pager on the other side of the room.
Once he confirms that you're asleep, he ends his song and gives you a kiss on the temple. His shoulders visibly heaved up and down as he sighed in exasperation. Yves would rather accompany you for the rest of the night, but him receiving a page means it's severely urgent.
He hates the biting cold whenever Yves is forced to part from you. No matter how slowly he tries to tear away from your body heat.
There was a horrid scowl on his face as he marched up to the device. He swiped it off the desk and swiftly left your room, soundlessly closing the door behind him.
Yves booted up his system in the office, connected to a nearly incomprehensible online chat server. At least, it's incomprehensible to the average person, it's as legible as modern day texting applications to Yves and his associates. The only reason it's this way, is because this is the safest mode of communication through the interweb without getting caught by the authorities.
Yves did wish that they chose a less atrocious font and colour when building this programme, though.
Yves had a straight face when a low-res picture of Evangeline with her genitals and chest mutilated popped up on his screen. She appeared to be unconscious, covered in blood, urine and other bodily fluids. Her prison uniform was tattered and chunks of her healthy, golden hair were torn out of her scalp.
Her leg was bent at an awkward angle and something was stuffed into her mouth, it appears like her jaw was dislocated too.
The photo had the shadow of the photographer cast over her body, the wet tiles beneath her allowed Yves to deduce that she was brutalized in the showers.
He ran a few checks over the image, making sure it was genuine and not doctored. Once he deems it to be a true copy, he deleted it off his computer and turned his computer off.
Yves pulled a drawer from his Mahogany desk to retrieve a pair of latex gloves. He puts them on before walking away from his seat.
It's like a routine to him at this point. He isn't really using his conscious brain, he was running purely on muscle memory. The security measures that he has to bypass, the passcodes and locks, he's doing it while he isn't present mentally.
Once he reached his first destination, he had to walk for a further five minutes, past the shelves housing binders upon binders of research regarding your habits, health reports relationships, likes and dislikes.
He crouched down to twist the knob on a medium sized safe. Yves opened it to reveal stacks upon stacks of cash, none of which are counterfeit. They're real, yet have an uneasy miasma around it. They're not earned through honest and kind means, the notes held an air of depravity to them. But Yves is immune to such degeneracy, he nonchalantly took a couple banded piles and slipped it into the unmarked envelope.
Once he has handled his business, Yves puts everything back into place and goes back up to his office, not desiring to waste another second without you in his arms.
__
There is a schedule that you have to follow. Wake up at eight in the morning, freshen up, eat breakfast at 8:20am, Lunch at 12:30pm, afternoon tea at 3pm, dinner at 6:30pm, a bowl of fruit at 7:30pm and finally, lights out at 11pm. While it may seem like you're eating less than what you would when you binged on junk, you felt full and satisfied.
While there will always be fruit an hour after dinner, there may or may not be any during the day. The only pattern you could discern from his behavior is that whenever you're visibly stressed, you will receive some of nature's healthy desserts.
Whatever Yves is doing, it's doing wonders to your mental health. You're way more productive than ever, finishing your assignments on time without feeling the world was crashing down on you. Catching up with the lectures were a piece of cake with Yves's explanation and reward methods.
He has made exercise fun. Something that you didn't think was possible, but he would give you low intensity exercises in his home gym to do. It wasn't agonizing or horrible despite your cast. Yves would join you, praising you for completing another successful session.
You felt great about yourself, you didn't give a damn that you haven't stepped foot outside for another half a month now... nor did he ever teach you how to use your crutches. Speaking of which, where are your crutches?
It was as if you were solely relying on Yves to wheel you around. You don't think you have ever tried moving on your own aside from his daily exercise programme. He always comes in at the exact time where you wanted to go somewhere, be it either the bathroom or otherwise.
You submitted your last assignment and realized: oh god. You haven't stepped foot in your university once for more than a month in total.
Oh god. You were so dependent on Yves that he saw you completely naked; he was the one who would wipe you down from head to toe every day. You couldn't take showers due to your cast. Yet, you have no idea what lies beneath that turtleneck.
Oh god. You were supposed to ask him for advice regarding your next home.
Oh god.
Oh god.
What the fuck have you been doing? What in the hell is going on?
You stared at your healing leg. How were you so comfortable in him cleaning you up like that? You remembered not feeling embarrassed at all, it felt so natural for him to just... take care of you like that. He felt like a close family member that saw every aspect of your life. This is someone who you only knew for around three months.
Isn't he supposed to be in the library? How is he staying at home 24/7 now? You have never once seen him go out to do his errands, not even for a grocery run.
Something doesn't feel right. With a cast on one leg while the other is perfectly fine, you shouldn't be on a wheelchair at all times. Where are your crutches?
You looked around, now your goal is to look for them. But... where? You don't remember coming here with them.
Just when you're about to stand up from your office chair that feels a bit too warm now, a knock on the door could be heard before Yves comes in. He looked a bit distraught and his sleeves are unusually rolled back to reveal his scarred forearms.
You stared at him as he sauntered over with a portable fan in his hand. He set it next to you, allowing the air to cool you down.
You were enjoying the wind, ignoring that Yves was holding a folded stepladder in his arm. He walked up to the air conditioning duct, setting his ladder beneath it and began climbing it effortlessly despite wearing heels.
He spent the next minute working to remove the filter media from the air grille. Yves appeared annoyed when he saw that it was free of debris, hair or dust. Of course it is clean, he washed it right before you got discharged from the hospital.
You asked him what was going on as he placed everything back to its original spot.
"There must be a leak somewhere in the ductwork... or it could be the dampers." He sighs, rubbing his forehead. Yves began to step down from his ladder. "Whatever it may be, I have to call in the professionals."
He was fast, you didn't realize that he scooped you up in his arms until you felt your feet dangling. Yves took large strides out of your room and into the living room, where it was much colder and pleasant to be in.
Yves sets you down on the sofas.
"You will have to remain here until the air conditioning in your room is fixed."
You asked how long it would take.
"It will be corrected by tonight. However, there will be contractors entering and leaving through the main door." You craned your neck to try and imagine the scenery. You think that it would be quite chaotic with no privacy.
You could ask to go upstairs, where you could hide in Yves's room. You know that there's a bathroom there too, so you wouldn't need to face the strangers downstairs.
However, it means you would need to rely on Yves a lot more for mobility. You're already unsure how you feel about being hyper dependent on your boyfriend who probably has better things to do.
It's just for a day anyway. Not like any of them would bother you with Yves around.
You took a second to think about what to say next.

Found Family Tournament Round 1 Part 5 Group 22
Propaganda and further pictures under the cut
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gaang: Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Zuko, Suki, Appa, Momo
Die Wilden Kerle: (fluid) Leon, Vanessa, Maxi, Marlon, Juli, Markus, Raban, Fabi, Markus, Joschka, Klette, Nerv, Deniz, Jojo (& Willi, Hadschi)
Submissions are still open!
Gaang:
They’re kids from all over the world whose parents/guardians aren’t around for whatever reason who are just trying their best in a war torn world and they have far too much responsibility on their shoulders at such young ages and soo much trauma but they love and take care of each other because no one else can/will. They fight and make up, they commit crimes and acts of heroism (often at the same time), they’re terrifyingly powerful, they all have so many brain cells but forget to use them, they have fantastic character arcs, and they canonically stayed friends for life after the series ended.
have you seen them??
THE original found family of my life bro
sorry no thoughts head empty but they <3
Die Wilden Kerle:
Listen. I know nobody knows them. But they're a group of kids who play football together. And (especially after the second movie) their parents are just basically absent. They basically only have each other. By the fifth movie they live together in the woods. I am not able to accurately describe what's going on in these movies. At one point they're playing football on motorbikes. In the 5th movie there's vampires. Shit it wild. I love it. I can't even describe how influential these movies were to me as a child. Please let them get at least 2 or 3 votes. Please.

Mods note: I know DWK have absolutely zero chance against the Gaang, but I live them and I need everyone to know that.

The most popular new gear of Splatoon 3 Drizzle Season 2022.
So at the beginning of April I posted a google docs poll with all of the 100+ new gear pieces introduced at the launch of Splatoon 3, intending to follow up on it a week later. Unfortunately, it didn't get much traction, only having 92 responses as of the time of writing. This made me a bit sad, so I just kind of forgot about it. That said, 92 responses are still something to work with, so let's take a look at them!
As a reminder, the poll let you pick multiple answers for each category, which makes the percentages look a bit weird if you just look at them in a vacuum. So when I give numbers now, keep that in mind.
That said, let's start by looking at Headwear! This is by far the spikiest category, meaning this is the category where votes were the most split. That said, eking out the number one spot by just one vote is...
Tumblr media
The Cephalo Pods! (29.3%)
And yeah, I get it. A lot of headwear is very large and cover up a lot of your character, and often changes colors in a way you can't control. So why bother with that when you can just put these bad boys on to keep your look clean and simple? Not to mention, you start with these. They're one of your very first gear pieces!
After the Pods we come to a shared second place, as both of these have exactly 28.3% of the votes, and I think they have some things in common with the Pods, too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Ocho OctoPhones and the Teddy Band!
Note that neither of these cover up your head. A bit of a trend with the most popular gear in the poll in general. Headphones have always been very popular, and with that bright red, the gold highlights, and that sleek 8-design, these were sure to be a hit. I'm not surprised to see the Teddy Band so high up either, how can you say no to something that adorable? (Also I have to imagine there is some effort justification at play, considering just what you need to do to get them...)
Also, quick shoutout to the third, fourth and fifth place, which are all just one vote apart!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Howdy Hat (26.1%), Retro BluFocals (25%), and the Bream-Brim Cap! (23.9)
Now, let's move on to Clothes, which looks very different from Headwear in terms of how the votes are spread out. This is also by far the biggest category, so it's natural that the votes would be more evenly spread, but there are still a couple of clear favourites here, and none are more obvious than the number one, which is...
Tumblr media
The Orca Bolero! (33.7%)
That's right, a whole third of all votes included the Orca Bolero. I can't say I am that surprised, though, Toni Kensa has been one of the most popular brands ever since their introduction in the second game. Their stark black-and-white aesthetic actually mixes really well with the bright ink colors on display in turf wars, and they pull on a lot of real-life fashion trends I think really resonate with a lot of Splatoon's audience.
In second place, we actually have another shared spot, but it's a pretty steep drop compared to the Orca Bolero, all the way down to 26.1% each.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Annaki Choker Tee and the Patchwork Bomber!
Outside of the Pearlescent Hoodie, we don't get a lot of accessories in Splatoon, and I think this alone gives the Annaki Choker Tee a lot of appeal. The shirt itself isn't half bad either, with a slick Annaki logo over a really nice dusty red.
That said, I will admit I don't quite get the Patchwork Bomber. It's a real messy piece, mixing colors and materials in a way I can only describe as bold, but I have to imagine that's the point. If you voted for the Patchwork Bomber, please sound off in the comments! I'd love to hear why you like it so much.
Finally, let's take a look at Shoes! This is by far the most even category for the most part, but it has a couple of large standouts, including the single most popular gear piece in the entire season by an enormous margin...
Tumblr media
The Punk Pinks! (50%)
That's right, fifty percent. Half of all votes in the shoes category included the Punk Pinks. And I don't blame anyone, honestly. This is a new version of maybe the single most popular shoe model in the entire series, and they're pink! These were a surefire hit, and the results show.
The second place is behind with a whole ten votes, but it still holds a dominant position of its own in the category with a whopping 39.1%:
Tumblr media
The Pearl 01STERs!
These aren't my cup of tea, personally, but I absolutely understand why people like these. They're really big and bulky and overdesigned, and if you like that then these are perfect for you.
Tumblr media
After that, there is an enormous drop, all the way down to 23.9% with the Red Hammertreads. These are just some cool punk boots, with leather straps all over. I'm honestly surprised we haven't gotten more of these yet, because with a name like "Red Hammertreads" it sure seems like they're setting it up.
And that's it for Drizzle Season 2022! Next up is Chill Season 2022, and we've not thankfully gotten to more manageable numbers of new apparel. So manageable in fact that going forward I can actually fit them into a tumblr poll, so stay tuned for that!

Why you should vote for each of them and full art below!
Herlinde (by @timesnewfishcat for D&D)
Tumblr media
Circle of Dreams Druid! Just a little guy who's 80% fluff and 100% violence (contained)
Eight Oglok (by @bitchyfog for D&D)
Tumblr media
Eight Oglok, of the venerable Oglok clan, is a goblin, a middle child from a lot of siblings (after the fourth or fifth kid, their mom just shrugged and picked a number) who left their little farm community in search of Magic. They're not super sure what that entails, they just know that all the stories they love to hear involve it and they are enchanted and determined to find some. They've reached the big city, and found the Genie Mistress, head of the Silver Linings mercenary guild. She grants requests in return for working for her in various ways, and has gotten Eight apprenticed as an artificer under a surly dwarf named Bodrake. They are suited for the work and really settling in, even if they don't understand the connection to them asking for a magic spell. They are a mean shot with their slingshot (having lots of siblings will help with that) and will cheerfully talk to you forever about different types of hinges and their uses. They have almost no concept of personal space and are eager to please and stand out for their skills. They always have stuff in their pockets and probably cast magic stone on them. They may not have a tragic backstory, but they're doing their best!

Reminder: Vote based on the song, not the artist or specific recording! The tracks referenced are the original artist, aside from a few rare cases where a cover is the most widely known.
Lyrics, videos, info, and notable covers under the cut. (Spotify playlist available in pinned post)
Chasing Cars
Written By: Jonny Quinn, Paul Wilson, Tom Simpson, Nathan Connolly & Gary Lightbody
Artist: Snow Patrol
Released: 2006
Cover included: The Wind and the Wave, 2015
This slow-building ballad is Snow Patrol’s biggest-selling single. A main driving force behind the song’s success was its inclusion at the end of the Grey’s Anatomy Season 2 finale. In an interview with Take 5 Gary Lightbody says: “The track wasn’t even featured on the iTunes top 100, and then an hour after the show, it was number 1. So that’s the impact of TV right there." About the song, he said in a interview with Rolling Stone: “It’s the purest love song that I’ve ever written. There’s no knife-in-the-back twist. When I read these lyrics back, I was like, ‘Oh, that’s weird.’ All the other love songs I’ve written have a dark edge."
[Verse 1] We'll do it all Everything On our own We don't need Anything or anyone [Chorus] If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? [Verse 2] I don't quite know How to say How I feel Those three words Are said too much They're not enough [Chorus] If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's burstin' into life [Verse 3] Let's waste time Chasing cars Around our heads I need your grace To remind me To find my own [Chorus] If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's burstin' into life [Bridge] All that I am All that I ever was Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see I don't know where Confused about how, as well Just know that these things will never change for us at all [Chorus] If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Wildest Dreams
Written By: Shellback, Max Martin & Taylor Swift
Artist: Taylor Swift
Released: 2014 (re-recorded 2021)
Alternate versions included: Grammy Museum, 2015; 1989 World Tour, 2015
The ninth track and fifth single on 1989 is about Swift hoping her lover will remember their best moments after they’re over. It expresses mixed feelings: hoping that they last, but knowing that they’ll end. In the US, the song reached number five, becoming her fifth consecutive top ten from 1989. Swift spoke to Rolling Stone about how this song differs from her previous love songs: “I think the way I used to approach relationships was very idealistic. I used to go into them thinking, ‘Maybe this is the one – we’ll get married and have a family, this could be forever’. Whereas now I go in thinking, ‘How long do we have on the clock – before something comes along and puts a wrench in it, or your publicist calls and says this isn’t a good idea?” Swift suddenly released the re-recording of 2014’s “Wildest Dreams” after the original version became part of a viral TikTok trend in the summer of 2021. Swift explained on Twitter following the release: “Hi! Saw you guys got Wildest Dreams trending on Tiktok, thought you should have my version”
[Verse 1] He said, "Let's get out of this town Drive out of the city, away from the crowds" I thought, "Heaven can't help me now" Nothing lasts forever But this is gonna take me down [Pre-Chorus] He's so tall and handsome as hell He's so bad, but he does it so well I can see the end as it begins My one condition is [Chorus] Say you'll remember me Standin' in a nice dress Starin' at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your Wildest dreams, ah, ha Wildest dreams, ah, ha [Verse 2] I said, "No one has to know what wе do" His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room And his voicе is a familiar sound Nothin' lasts forever But this is gettin' good now [Pre-Chorus] He's so tall and handsome as hell He's so bad, but he does it so well And when we've had our very last kiss My last request it is [Chorus] Say you'll remember me Standin' in a nice dress Starin' at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your Wildest dreams, ah, ha (Ha, ha) Wildest dreams, ah, ha [Bridge] You'll see me in hindsight Tangled up with you all night Burnin' it down Someday, when you leave me I bet these memories Follow you around You'll see me in hindsight Tangled up with you all night Burnin' (Burnin') it (It) down (Down) Someday, when you leave me I bet these memories Follow (Follow) you (You) around (Around) (Follow you around) [Chorus] Say you'll remember me Standing in a nice dress Starin' at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just pretend Say you'll remember me Standin' in a nice dress Starin' at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your (Just pretend, just pretend) Wildest dreams, ah, ha (Ah-ah) In your wildest dreams, ah, ha Even if it's just in your In your wildest dreams, ah, ha In your wildest dreams, ah, ha

Lesson 1: Welcome to the Devildom
In typical fashion, MC forgets that they had submitted an application to be a human exchange student at RAD, so of course they're surprised when they find themselves in the assembly hall at the academy. As one might expect, MC was the last one to know that they were selected, as their parents, their human school, their coworkers, and just about everyone else they knew had already been told this information in advance. It was unfortunately quite usual that people wouldn't tell MC things because they either assumed that MC already knew, or they just wanted to surprise MC. Still, it wasn't nice that MC wasn't at least given a heads up that they would be in a strange room, being stared at by strange men in strange uniforms.
MC's First Impressions of The Student Council
Diavolo: He seems nice enough. It's a little spooky that he knew my name before I knew his, but he's at least welcoming. Although something tells me I shouldn't get on his bad side...
Lucifer: I know he's obviously trying to give off an air of authority, and I do respect that, but I sense that he's hiding something. It's probably deep, deep down, and most people wouldn't be able to pick up on it, but I get the feeling that he's actually really insecure. I could just be projecting, though. I'd like to get to know him more and see if that's the case. He's also one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen, but that's beside the point.
Mammon: I can't believe I have to allow a stuck-up, airheaded demon to be my Devildom guide. He doesn't even speak properly. I just have to do what I always do: act nice to him whenever I'm around them, and then complain about him when he's not around.
Asmo: First of all, gay. Like, actually gay. Second of all, he's just as arrogant as Mammon. I doubt he's as sweet and charming as he claims to be.
Satan: Clearly the middle child. Also, he looks and acts remarkably similar to Lucifer. Too similar...
Beel: Definitely relatable in this moment in time. The only thing I've had to eat today is a bowl of cereal from this morning.
Levi: I like him already. I know it's toxic to form friendships based on a mutual hatred of somebody, but I do kinda wish I could vote Mammon to die right now.
--------------------------------
Notes
MC's actually quite excited to do tasks and write a paper about their experience in the Devildom. One of the first supplies they get is a notebook to document their thoughts on things as they happen. This proves quite handy in getting to know the demon brothers and exchange students, so much so that MC collects several notebooks full of information.
When MC looks into Asmo's eyes, they immediately get nauseous to the point that they almost throw up all over the fifth born.
As soon as Lucifer mentions that the House of Lamentation was originally a cursed house in the human world, MC makes it a priority to learn as much as they can about its history.
MC does not appreciate Mammon yelling at them. At all. If it weren't for their manners, MC would have told him to shut up. Thankfully for everyone in the room, Lucifer's the one to voice those thoughts.
If any of the men in the room were to glance over at MC when Lucifer asks Mammon in an angry/nice voice if he objected to being MC's guide, they would have caught a flash of arousal in MC's eyes.
When Mammon tells MC that they better know who the boss is, they immediately think, "Lucifer."
First thing that winds up in MC's notebook: "Demons like humans with nice souls. They will use their wisdom and abilities to tempt the humans so they can get their hands on their souls. Either humans will be tempted by demons, or demons will lose against the shiny and noble soul of a human and make a run for it. This is an experiment to find out who will win."
While Lucifer's statement of MC not having any magic in them is true at the time he says it, it naturally develops inside of them the longer they stay in the Devildom.
MC makes a mental note to hit the nearest dance studio and learn some moves, because they want to eventually take part in the dance battles without the assistance of the demon brothers.
MC's thoughts as Mammon talks as they arrive at the House of Lamentation: "What's insulting is that I have to be guided by someone who won't stop talking. What am I, his diary? 'Dear Diary, today Lucifer was weally mean to me. He makes me angy. I wish I wasn't so insecure. You think I'm tough, right, Diary?' Also, who the fuck goes around calling people peons? And then you want to get on my case about stopping to read the flyer just to turn around and tell me that I can look at it myself when I ask you about it? Maybe I wanted to get a part-time job to help support myself, you nitwit!"
When Mammon states that it's been 260 years since Levi gave him money and not 200, it takes everything in MC's power to not reply, "Aren't you supposed to make that number lower than what was initially stated?"
MC overthinks about Journey to the Devildom: The Tale of a Little She-Devil and Her Reluctant Companion. Is MC the She-Devil? Does that make Mammon the reluctant companion? But Mammon's the devil, not MC, so would he be the she-devil? Would Mammon like being referred to as a she-devil, or would he bite someone's head off?
MC really doesn't care about labels or status. They will befriend people based on their personality and their actions. So, it slightly offends MC that Levi makes a big deal about otakus and normies.
MC's fascinated by The Tale of the Seven Lords not because of the size of the books, but because of the fact that there are seven demon brothers that they just met, and it can't be a coincidence that there's a series about seven lords.
The second thing that winds up in MC's notebook: "Each of the seven lords is so unique. They're all so interesting in their own peculiar way. The lords are all brothers. The oldest is called the Lord of Corruption. He doesn't come across as being so bad at first, but he's always plotting and planning in secret. The second oldest is the Lord of Fools, a scumbag who'll do anything for money. The third oldest is called the Lord of Shadow, a brooding recluse. The fourth oldest is known as the Lord of Masks. He masquerades as a high-status, upstanding member of society, but underneath it all, he's an inhumane monster. The fifth oldest, the Lord of Lechery, only ever thinks of sex. The sixth oldest is the Lord of Flies, and he only ever thinks of food. Then there's the seventh oldest, called the Lord of Emptiness. He's weird; you never know what's running through his head."
Underneath Levi's speech (which can also be found on Levi's blog, as MC discovers when they type in "The Tale of the Seven Lords" in Doogle) is a t-chart assigning each demon brother to a lord. This t-chart proves extremely useful to MC.
MC likes Henry the goldfish.
Levi may have been talking a mile a minute, but MC caught the fact that Levi described this Seraphina character as seeming to be cold and prideful at first but really wanting affection without knowing how to admit it. That also makes its way into MC's notebook.
As much as MC sympathizes with Levi's predicament with not being able to get his money back, they really do not want to make a pact with Mammon. However, Levi doesn't allow MC to say this, but instead just launches straight into his plan without any consideration towards MC. So, MC really does not have much choice but to go along with it, because the last thing they want is to experience a demon's wrath before they've even been in the Devildom for a full day.

Gemini Moon: Unwanted Duality
Tumblr media
Geminis. You love them. Or hate them? Honestly it's a toss up at this point. However Gemini Moons tend to get better feedback. They're usually seen as a bouncy, friendly, and witty person to be around. Probably voted as someone who'd you want as a best-friend.
What if all the flower picking and beautiful skies is just scratching the surface though? What if, underneath all the smiles and laughter, there is a storm of twirling thoughts being rallied relentlessly. What if they are, quite literally, the equivalent of that catchy mash-up of Misery x CPR x Reese's Puff's?
Gemini Moon's are extremely complex. This would be due to the moon operating in a sign that wants to process it's emotions through communication and logic, but Gemini itself can be somewhat avoidant in being vulnerable to the extent that the moon wants it to be. It's not that they cannot or refuse to talk about their emotions, but it gets filtered A Lot through their mind instead of just being felt. It can be a pattern of them mulling things over for a bit on their own before it ends up being put out into the world, because of the loop that gets set up in their mind.
Being a mercurial sign, they enjoy getting lost in their thoughts or stories. Being an air sign, they like to interact and engage with others on an intellectual level, debating. Flitting to different subjects or activities within hours or days. There will be a subconscious reaction to always view things from an objective or logical viewpoint, which can make them seem wishy-washy or cold. So when it comes to dealing with their emotions, they can either
end up putting them on the back-burner to be dealt with later by accident or on purpose
minimize the severity of what they're feeling or how it's impacting them by viewing it through the lens of objectivity
This is the cause of them casually dropping heavy thoughts and concerns of theirs, following them up with a light-hearted joke or continuing on as if they didn't just let you in on a bit of their traumatic past. They've already had these thoughts swirling around in their head for weeks, picking it apart, so it's not out of the blue for them, and they can sometimes forget that.
At the same time they don't really like sitting there in the kiddie pool of emotions. Gemini likes being light, having fun, jumping from place to place--they need to be stimulated. When you think of nurturing your emotional wounds, the first few thoughts that come to mind aren't necessarily fast-paced or fun. It's usually calming in some sense. There's also a lot of reflection, which is where the problem lies. Gemini Moons are already flicking through a bunch of thoughts on repeat. In some sense, what's being thrown around in their heads are Fun, Inquisitive things most of the time, but when it's time to focus on negative stuff, it can open up a gate for more negative thoughts to flow in. So that whirlpool is now full of thoughts without much of an escape, because the next thought to cycle through is just another bad one. On one hand, with this happening long enough--and if the moon is well aspected or in a strong house--the native can eventually detangle their thoughts themselves or with someone else and heal their current issue. If not, it either gets pushed back and it's another elephant in the room to turn into a light joke once they're accustomed to it's presence to be dealt with slowly over time.
This can attribute the somewhat weird reactions to Gemini Moons. Depending on the house, some people will see them as 'moodier than water signs', or 'more detached than earth signs'. If it's in the first house, others will notice this fluctuation and whiplash of thoughts the native is experiencing (as well as overall goofiness), and this can cause the native to be somewhat nervous with how they present themselves if it's brought up. If it's in the fifth house, on top of the 'commitment-phobe' label they already get, people can assume they never really loved their partner due to how they deal with issues combined with their 'flirty' nature.
Gemini's don't get a lot of respect for their 'duality', considering they're the ones that have to live with it at the end of the day. Yes, they can play the angel and the devil, but learning how to healthily deal with that in their lives when having a poor response to it is very difficult to do. Which only causes natives to shun parts of themselves to never really harness or be comfortable with those parts of themselves until much later in life when it can be awkward to confront because, 'you should already know this about yourself'. They are an incredible person to sit down and actually get to know once you're let in past all the goofiness they put up as their entire personality in defense.
Overall, Gemini Moons are super fun and fantastic to be around, but the inside of their mind can be a bit of a maze to navigate, even when they're the ones that made it. Sometimes it can be fun, but mostly it's a bit irritating for them until they can get the hang of it.

Jesus, some people on here are just messed up, like I'm just bored clicking around get on this one person's account bout to go back cause boring boring boring...
Tumblr media
Like holy fucking
This was one of the most half incoherent bat shit rant I've read in a while, that left me feeling confused upset and like unfairly attacked,
Like they start off being pissy about '21 somethings who can buy weed legally'
And then jumps to us in Colorado specifically,
Which starts to piss me off right there I love my state, as much as I get wanderlust time to time and like to try living elsewhere I'm born an raised like I wanna say fifth generation? Coloradan
This is my home,
It's one thing when people make Mile 'high' jokes those are usually in good humor and I think they're funny,
But this person just going off about us in particular about how 'easy' we got it
Oh I'm sorry how easy 21 somethings got it cause apparently they don't realize us 'old' folk also buy the legal drugs,
And all our options and how people from their state are coming here and bring our 'poison' into their state,
The 'poison' they apparently are so pissed they don't have easy access to, 👀
And how their state could have make much better 'poison' 😕
And then I think it stopped with wishing we all get hit in the head with a hammer!?!?!
I mean sorry to clog up y'all's dash with this but I really gotta vent on this cause of all the fucking things to go off about,
And specifically all the things about Cannabis to go off about,
Like that there are still people in prison in legalized states for cannabis charges,
That we still haven't dropped calling it marijuana despite the racist origins of that name (mind you I still fuck up and call it that too sometimes,)
The whole bat shit 'marijuana' plot that sounds like it should be a cooky conspiracy that is 100% factual,
But instead this person is getting pissed cause it's legal in my state,
First off asshole Colorado isn't the only legalized state,
Next even if it was, guess what dickhead I can't control your state,
mine voted it into law to legalize cannabis and I'm super proud of that,
Um also just cause it's legal dose not equal easy, you have to have cash, and it's not fucking cheap,
I've been experimenting with cannabis edibles and have been finding how amazingly helpful it is for me,
I have a shit load 'wrong' with me that's undiagnosed will remain so, and even if I was diagnosed and looking into meds they likely wouldn't work for me, I have something wrong with me that taking any kind of medication more then a couple days even as prescribed down to the exact hour, fucks me up,
I get start getting really bad side effects like day three, I was on fucking aspirin for a bit while super sick a few years ago I got tendinitis so bad I wanted to die for like two days,
I've even avoided being on shit what's the anti pregnancy pill called, um fuck, I've avoided it cause im not having sex and my periods are real good, I worry what I'll do if I ever get into a romantic relationship with a dude, probably will only be able to be with someone whose clipped,
I was on sleeping pills for a bit, one of the side effects was suicidal thoughts, guess who got that and all the fucking other ones, including dry mouth so bad I thought I'd die,
For some reason cannabis doesn't fuck me up at all, it helps it really fucking helps me even if I'm on it a lot,
It's the only thing that has ever fucking made my mind a not just okay place to be, but a great one,
And money is right so I can't have like constant access to it, I may at some point be able to get it at all,
And this dickhead thinks I should get a hammer to the head!?!
I try to let internet stuff slide off me but fuck if reading that didn't just royally upset me,
Just, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you pig fucking, dildo humping, cum sucking bag of broken sticks shit on by cats with the runs, mother fucker,
hope you step on cat shit every day of your life and that your hated by corvids everywhere,
Okay I feel better and yes I did block them they had another post that seemed a bit suspect especially after reading that post and no I didn't say shit to them what's the point
Edit looked at it again, it was ceiling fan fall on your head not hammer

can you tell us more about the campaign you’re running? 👀
So, Gharmyra! It's been on hiatus for... months now, due to some real-life happenings (family drama that ended up with me moving, which- Made campaign prepping hard), but I'm planning to get back to it once spoons are collected
The campaign is set mainly in Gharmyra, a nation formed by two smaller nations that ended up becoming a single one following a war between the two. Here's a map of it:
Tumblr media
It's set in a high fantasy, industrial-revolution sort of setting. Factories are starting to become a common sight and steampunk vibes are definitely there. The two main nations are Gharda, a theocratic nation with an imperialist past, and Remyra, a democratic, heavily magic-dependant nation.
Ghamyra as a nation is technically democratic too, but there's definitely issues with how is that ran. The capital for both nations is Vemros: A huge city built in a Tower-of-Babel like building, which separates the territories for both of them. An organization known as the Dharka Savada serves as the government force. Here's a knight of the Dharka, Dalshen:
Tumblr media
Gharda follows a religion known as the Davnrros, which followed (originally five), now four deities that are known as the Guardians. The deities are physical beings which have quite directly get seen amongst the people, although they've been more absent of late. The society is divided in fourth castes (originally five), each of them linked to one of the deities. The power each caste holds is terribly unbalanced though: The first caste rules over the others, using divine right as an excuse. It's also the only caste who can actually vote for their own representatives. The religious force of the first caste is known for wearing masks, and there's just a whole lot of intrigue. Here's Iratha, one of the baddies the party had to deal with, and first caste member:
Tumblr media
Remyra, on the other end, holds democracy with great esteem. They don't follow deities- They're actually a nation born from the people who ran away from a heavily theocractic/imperalistic regime (Mith-Sharorr), and hold a lot of hate for deities. The war between them and Gharda had to do with murdering the fifth deity, in fact. I'd describe Remyra as "political parties where PvP is always on" (with few limitations). These limitations have grown over the years and the clans do not wage war with each other very often, except for a couple that have a very long-running feud. At this point, violent conflcit between parties is seen as barbaric. Violent conflict is strictly regulated, having designed zones for it, and being kept very far away from the regular population.
Tumblr media
Here's Zyrphae, head of one of the clans! Have I mentioned Remyra is a mostly underground nation composed of mostly drow, dwarves and elves?
It's also in the underground where one of the main aspects of the setting comes to play: Crystal corruption. Crystals grow almost everywhere, and are the result of an excess of magic getting condensed up. They serve as power sources, can be used to create artefacts and power machinery, but are also dangerous if miss-used. Dalshen above has got a crystal arm, as he's been victim to crystal corruption: When exposed too much to this magic without proper equipment, it can stick to your body. And as far as Gharmyrans are concerned, it's a death sentence. Sometimes it takes months, most times it can go on for years, but crystal corruption never ends well.
Tumblr media
Crystal corruption lures another thing: Watchers, like the one up above. These are undead, lich-like creatures. Their origins are directly tied to crystal corruption. They have a "seed", which is where their soul is stored after they go through the process in a controlled manner, which is installed in their "chorus", a nest made out of crystals and living batteries they extract energy from, like this:
Tumblr media
They can live on forever as long as they feed on living creatures. Most keep a few half-digested corpses in their chorus, and also pester those with crystal corruption, which become susceptible to watchers messing with them. Watchers themselves are incorporeal most of the time, travelling through crystals. However, they usually have the remains of their physical body in the chorus (like the example up above), and can form other bodies with any source of crystal. Breaking these bodies apart can weaken them, but never kill them: Only the destroying of a seed will end a watcher for good.
The party has now advanced enough to know that watchers are directly tied to Ark'Voss (currently known as Aar'Voss), one of the Remyran clans. Said clan, together with the Ark'Sava (The old version of the Dharka Savada, the current running force in Gharmyra), worked for the betterment of Remyra. Ark'Voss was tasked with finding a cure for crystal corruption, which ran rampant when violent conflict was common in Remyra. However, when they found the solution (becoming undead), the Ark'Sava was horrified by this, and tried to destroy said research. Violently. A conflict started between both clans. The Ark'Sava came out triumphant, with Ark'Voss (seemingly) mostly extinguished. Instead, most of the members had gone into hiding, or ended up becoming watchers themselves. Under this, another watcher!
Tumblr media
Fast forward to nowadays, several millenia late: Most people have no idea about what happened. You've got two nations who have been together for a thousand years, but they're starting to resent each other again. The murder of the fifth Ghardan god is up to the table. Mith-Sharorr, the theocratic nation up north, is also becoming a threat again. A lot of the conflicts betwene Gharda and Remyra are lead by small extremist groups, who have been using crystal grenades liberally, and sowing everything with crystal corruption. And the watchers have been pulling strings for long, awaiting a violent conflict to have a long-due vengeance.
Tumblr media
Amongst all this drama, enter the party: Laestis, my partner's kalashtar (pictured above) is a pretty good example of what is going on. An overly anxious Ghardan first caste, who had inherited a cursed sword from times before the war. The sword had given their family an uncanny connection to a psionic entity, which (unknown to them) had been one of these watchers. The watcher was far more friendly than most of their kind, even if no one before Laestis actually tried to understand their nature.
It's been 90 sessions almost. Together, they've found companionship in each other, and an objective to avoid an inevitable war arranged by undead creatures, which would possibly end very violently. A warlock pact later, they've become inseparable in many ways, and are doing their best to get a good ending to what would be otherwise a terrible catastrophe.
Anyways, that's a mouthful! I really want to resume the campaign at some point. It went for REALLY long. Two of the players have moved on from DnD due to life happenings, and two new players were guests before the hiatus started (and will become permanent afterwards), so there's a lot of change. I have a lot of love for this, but I have certainly ended up putting it aside after the campaign I'm a player in ended up occupying most of my brain-- Hopefully, that'll change soon!

what's an objectum? I voted cuz I thought it was just what ya would put on a TV you're not using
(poll in question here) Ok so let me preface this by saying I myself am Very new to the concept and only recently went "hm. yeah I'm probably objectum of some flavor." and if I say anything wrong, other objectum folks are more than welcome to correct me !
An objectum person is someone who is attracted to objects, be that romantically, sexually, platonically, familially, A Secret Fifth Option, etc. In my meandering through the tag, I have seen beloved objects that are CRT monitors and PC towers, supercomputers, radios, transmission towers, buildings, mannequins and statues, handheld gaming devices, suitcases, knives, plushies, clouds, and vehicles like cars, trains, and planes! Most of what I've listed are mechanical because those are the spaces I enter most, but really anything can be the muse for these feelings, even concepts.
A concept also tied in with being objectum is being POSIC (perception of object sentience, individuality, and consciousness), and I've seen it mentioned in tandem with animism and hyperempathy, but none of these things are exclusive to each other. Not every objectum person is POSIC, not every POSIC person is objectum. I've seen people both POSIC and not say things ranging from how their object misses them, or enjoys time with them, to loving in a way not conventionally human. Defining how the beloved object "feels," I guess, is a very person-by-person experience.
I made the poll because I was curious what people who like CRT monitors have as a favorite display! Mostly intended for objectum people because that's where I see the most open affection for CRT monitors, but also anyone else, hence the (objectum) in parenthesis; it was not a requirement to vote! Does someone like setting the channel to static on a tv, or playing games with a computer, the most? that sort of thing.
Lots of people draw their beloved objects, which is why I added "faces" as an option; there are a lot of monitor object head characters with screen faces in the tag!
I hope this answered the question!! now you know what being objectum is ! and hug your local crt monitor today. they're friend shaped

But like for this birthday I think it’s a slightly bigger event, which mean that it’s not the v1 cast but it’s them v2 and shuichis class v3
Now I think this is going to be havoc all around
But like imagine his classmate who don’t know who his parents are showing up at his house
Like you have this class mate who’s known for dropping cash but he works at mc Donald’s, you think nothing of it but then you come to his birthday at his house, and you think you got it wrong because you show up at a MANSION you still have doubts but you get to the gate and give them your invite and they let you in and who other but shuichi your mc Donald’s working class mate welcomes you
Like what are they to do in that situation
Also hajime still has kokichi on his leash and it’s the fifth one today
Also I need your thoughs please give me the honor of hearing them
A) all my aus are open source overstep as much as you want I love the thoughts
(Ok first I ran the numbers and that’s like 37 people lmao(including Nanami who attended via the roomba))
First off Kokichi starts a drinking game with Kaede (they’re drinking water dw) on how many friends are shocked upon realizing Shuichi Works-at-a-McDonalds-NaegiTogamiKirigiri lives here.
These two because as Shuichi’s resident co-best friends (they had an Epic Battle about it in the second grade and Shuichi officially declared them both his best friends) they’ve probably been over quite a few times over the years, notable mention that Kaito and Maki have definitely been over a few times as well
ALSO just. the sheer insanity. Shuichi casually showing his friends around and they're still highkey shocked. Homeboy has probably developed the habit of Not Bringing Up His Parents (not because of any relationship strain just cause. yknow. the celebrity thing lmao. Imagine meeting someone's parents and they're like "Oh I know them, I watched their friends die when I was younger.") so a lot of them just. had no idea. like yeah he may have mentioned like "oh yeah my dad works at Togami corp" "SHUICHI YOUR DAD IS THE FUCKING CEO OF TOGAMI CORP" "I mentioned he worked there didn't I?" or like "Yeah my dad works from home a lot but he also has to go on really long work trips" "Shuichi your dad is on an ad at the bus stop"
I feel like with absolutely everyone here, Shuichi's number one goal is to avoid Naegi getting out the baby photos (because we're looking at 16-17, and this is Shuichi, he would probably die on the spot if all his friends got to see the pumpkin video again) BUT ON TOP OF THAT we have Kokichi, who is trying to 4D chess his way into getting Naegi to pull out the baby photos (The rivalry may have calmed down but it will never die) So the two are silently battling it out with Naegi completely none the wiser. Also a silent and joking rivalry in Shuichi's class of just who can give him the best present. like nobody is getting violent but it's definitely become something HPA students even outside their class have started placing bets on. There's huge cash pools on the big players, Kokichi, Kaito, Kaede, and Maki, but it also became a gag to vote for Kiibo just to put the pressure on him to get a really good gift (for the lolz yknow?) and He's So Stressed The Whole Time.
also you and I both know Kokichi shoved Shuichi's head into his cake. Imagine it's become like a tradition at this point. they get a second smaller cake just for this weird tradition of theirs. Shuichi's just grown to accept it lmao.

2 Weeks Until the Maribat Mix & Match Monster Mash
Tumblr media
It's been an exciting week, and the votes were closer than a demon gets to the body they're possessing, but we have our fifth prompt: Exorcism. If you don't know what to do for this prompt, hopefully this graphic compels an idea into your head. Or you can always fill it by bringing in John Constantine. Or by referencing the horror movie. Or hey, maybe even a creative akuma? The possibilities are endless!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
With two weeks left it's time for a final showdown of prompts! Monster vs Carve, which will we see next? You can wait until next week to find out, or you can send us an ask (off anon) and get a link to the server so you can vote yourself!
Have you started writing yet? I know what you may be thinking, "how can I write ahead when the week of prompts are unknown?" and hey, don't worry. They'll work together, we promise. Everything is totally on vibe, and that vibe is very spooky.

10/5/2023 DAB Chronological Transcription
Matthew 4, Luke 4-5, John 1:15-51
Welcome to Daily Audio Bible Chronological, It's the fifth day of October. It's wonderful to be here with you today. I'm Jill. We go through the Bible in chronological order every day. We just turn the page a few days ago and are in the New Testament. And in just a few short months, we will have Made it to the finish line. I'm so glad that you're here. I'm so honored to be reading the word of God for us, individually and collectively, as a community. Today we are reading Matthew Chapter 4. And then because we read it in chronological order, we sort of go sideways instead of top to bottom, so to speak, just because we are in the Gospels right now. And because it's historical order, we've got three different interpretations of the life of Jesus. So Matthew Chapter 4. Luke Chapters four and five and then we'll head over to John and read John, chapter one, verses 15 through 51. Matthew, chapter 4. 
Commentary
OK, so we have another really action-packed day of stories about Jesus, but one in particular That I would like to point out, because we read it not that long ago is Jesus announcement. Good news to the poor. That he reads in the synagogue. And He has given the scroll written from the prophet Isaiah. And he unrolls the scroll And he finds the place where it is written. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because the Lord has appointed me, He has sent me to preach good news to the poor, release to the prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, to liberate the oppressed, and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. And he does so, and then all the eyes are fixed on him. And then he declares Today this Scripture has been fulfilled just as you heard it. And here's the thing, We're gonna read.And listen and hear And go through the stories, the miracles of Jesus. And The thing I love about it is Try to formulate what he does. Try to formulate. Well, if you say this and if you do this, then Jesus will do this and you'll get this outcome. You will not be able to. He's Jesus, About the time you start seeing patterns and OK, this is what he did here and this is what he does there, He does something to completely, Throw the formula off. Throw it out the window because he's Jesus.The Son of God. And he will do whatever he wants to do however he sees fit to do it. And while people will be amazed and will we see this today as they're sitting in the synagogue and they're listening and they're amazed, We will soon watch the opposition that takes place, and these are my favorite stories in the Bible, the teachings, the life of Jesus, how he approached women in a society where women are pretty much Second, rate citizens, and we know this to be true, because if you just go back in our history of 100 years or so, my grandmothers, Both of my grandmothers on both parents side, Were not able to vote. That was, and this was just over 100 years ago. We're going back in his society well over 2000 years, just like the stories of our own lives. People will be amazed, And people will be opposed. So I just want to know, Are you falling in love with this man named Jesus, in a whole new way? It will not take long.
Prayer
Father, we thank you for your word. We thank you. We have so much to thank you for. We have so much to be grateful for. Today, I'm thankful, That we hear the intention and the fulfillment Of Scripture, just as we heard, just as we read not too long ago. This man named Jesus was appointed and anointed to preach good news to the poor. We won't even approach the poor To proclaim release to the prisoners. Recovery of sight to the blind to liberate the oppressed. And to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. So often have an idea of why Jesus came, But I love today that we hear the words from Jesus himself. And here we are, All of us broken hearted in one way or the other. We thank you for the hope and the confidence that he is the healer of our brokenness. And Jesus, we absolutely love you for it. Thank you, For coming To heal us from the inside out. We love you. We worship you. Honor you. We give you all glory, that your name will be praised and all of the earth. We pray this in the name of the Father, And the son, And the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Community Prayer Line
Hey guys this is Green life in Texas. I think I just submitted my other one to the wrong channel but I love both channels. But anyway, thank you DABC family for being awesome. I just wanted to come and ask for some prayer for my oldest son and my youngest son. My youngest son Tyler is about to be 21 and he is at college. And he is really, really struggling with his major. He's struggling with the courses, He's doubting himself. He's feeling like he doesn't fit in. All my kids are adopted and he we we got him when he was 13 and he's really struggled just fitting in in general and just kind of adapting to The fast-paced American life and the energy that it takes to be a kid here anyway, he's just just pray for him. He's kind of depressed and lost and he loves the Lord. He is a Christian, but he's going to have to dig deep and trust the Lord and so just lift him up. His name is Tyler and then my oldest son.Victor is, He has some special needs. He's got cognitive impairment, but he's high functioning and he's a hard worker. But we have been struggling finding a job for him. It's been six months now since he lost his last job at Amazon and he, yeah, just nobody wants to hire him. And it's very obvious when we talk to people, that they just don't want to have to deal with his disability and it's really frustrating now. They haven't come out and said that, but this is what we're running up against and it's just just pray. I know the Lord has a place for him, He's prepared, works in advance for all my children, but we're really getting frustrated and we're coming up to the crunch time. And so we just need wisdom. And anyway, thank you guys so much. This is good life in Texas. Love you guys and have a fabulous day. Bye.
DABC, family. This is kindergarten Katie and I Want to call in all the time, but I never feel like I can because I either don't have the time alone or the words or Whatever, Um. But so often, I desperately want people praying over my family, my divorce, my job, just everything. But I just don't feel like I ever can. And I happen to have the time right now, So I want to pray for all of the other DABbers out there who,  Pray for the people who have something weighing on them that's just crushing them or bothering their minds or troubling their hearts. But for whatever reason, they don't feel like they can call. I pray that you will give them peace. And God, I pray that you will be with me as well in Jesus name. Amen.
Hello DABC Family, This is Diana from Florida and I wanna thank China for her beautiful message regarding The fact that rebuilding May look different for everybody and every situation. In some cases it may mean complete and full reconciliation of those relationships. And in other cases it may mean simply to rebuild The person who has been completely Damaged by cell relationship and there is no way for reconciliation to happen. In either case, I am asking for your prayers with regards to my marriage. I have been struggling with my marriage for about four or five years. Dealing with emotional abusive tendencies and even narcissistic tendencies. Unfortunately, from my husband's end. Over time I've educated myself on these things and Have gathered a lot of data and have reached out to many therapists and counselors for help. And unfortunately, I've only seen this progress and become worse over the years, even with me trying to change the way I communicate or change the way I do things. As a result, the, There have been some really negative incidences that have occurred With us, with me or with my children that are pretty much the last straw. And so now at this point I have given my husband not to meet him. For the end of this year To actually put in the work and start doing the deeper work. He still hasn't complied, but I'm trusting that God can do a miracle and turn this around. Will you pray with me? From my marriage to be rescued. I really need it.
