TL;DR: In which Rei has constant nightmares but always had someone to cuddle him to sleep. He realizes that he and Akai aren't on that level but he's the only one available and Rei doesn't want to have a panic attack til morning. So yeah.

Cuddle Bug AU:

- Rei always had someone to cuddle him to sleep after nightmares

- the first time was when he dreamt of being abandoned by his parents, then woke up crying in his bunk bed

- one of the older kids was awake, calmed him down and hugged him to sleep because she knew what it was like

- Rei stuck with her all the way until she got adpoted

- (later Rei ran into her again while in the Academy and they kept in touch since)

- this trend continues with various people he could depend on at the time: his caretaker, some of his foster guardians, sometimes Akemi and Elena when he was in their clinic, and obviously, the zero squad.

- most notably date and hiro because date's massive and gives good hugs and hiro is cuddle size and rei feels safe with them

- blah blah blah, cannon happens, blah blah blah

- hes destroyed everytime each and every one of them got killed, and eventually he would either curl up into a ball after a nightmare having a silent panic attack til morning, or just goes to the closest cuddle buddy he has

- which most of the time is hiro, because hes like the only guy closest to him that hasnt died yet

- on days where he couldnt reach hiro rei would just go to his first cuddle buddy in the middle of the night and she'd hug him to sleep that way

- (she never complains, she has a boyfriend who's in the military and knows what kind of nightmares it gives people)

- (they got engaged and her fiance found out about rei, and was extremely understanding and became another one of his cuddle buddies too)

- (rei feels guilty of course, since hes intruding on their home and personal space, but they honestly dont mind. fiance guy was an only child and never had a sibling, and obvs fiance girl saw him as a sibling.)

- this continues trend continues even in the BO, and surprisingly, Curacao and Kir got added to the cuddle buddy list

- (Vermouth is an honorary member, depending on her mood)

- but rei still sticks with hiro most of the time tho

- (btw he told his now-married cuddle buddies that hes going undercover and he wont be able to reach them for their safety)

- (their worried of course, but rei asked kazami to keep them in the loop and kazami was like, - 'my best boss/friend actually finding a healthy coping mech and has someone to depend on? fuck yeah ofc i would.')

- rye was confused as to why scotch would always worry over bourbon whenever he's away on a mission when bourbon is the guy youd never worry about

- but then rye stumbled upon bourbon hiding in a corner when scotch's not home, eyes wide, shaking and crying silently and it physically pains him to watch it

- so yeah rye is added to the cuddle buddy list but under the emergency only category that featured giant, bold, red letters with underline and italics

- which puts him under even Curacao, Vermouth and Kir but rei actually trusts them to some degree and hes confident he can outrun them for a while

- but rye? the guy that could put a bullet to your head from ten skyscapers away?

- yeah no thanks

- Rei's utterly crushed when hiro offed himself

- look hes smart, he knows that angle the bullet was in couldnt have hit hiro from where ryes standing, but he just lost his best friend and closest cuddle buddy and somebody just happened to be a convient scape goat

- Rei runs to couple cuddle buddies to cry after that, and the two of them plus their 5 year old twins cuddled with Rei in the family convo pit thats converted into a giant pillow fort

- timeskip to current timeline

- the detective boys are added to the cuddle buddy list, so is ai (she has Rei in her list too, cuz they both understood what it feels like (plus theyve made up a long time ago)), masumi and ran (kogoro didnt like it at first and outright kicked our poor boy out when ran hugged him, but got torn into a new one by ran, conan and our cuddle family. added to the list soon after when rei came to find ran but she was away and he couldnt watch this baby-faced kid having a panic attack because hey, dad senses.)

- time skip to a few months later

- rei and akai are basically very reluctant allies (on rei's side) and very much made up besties (on akai's)

- FBI and PSB issued stakeout

- surprise surprise nightmare strikes again

- so rei had no other option but to use akai because he isnt in the mood to have a panic attack til morning, nor could he afford to

- was gonna criticize akai for being a shit cuddler but unfortunately, our tall and thin as a stick boy here was actually on date's-level of comfortness

- so yeah, rei came by to him more often since he's just geographically closest to him, and he knows he cant always bother the mouris or agasa and ai during the night since the kids have school

- akai on the other hand doesnt go to school, even if okiya subaru was required too

- and rei basically moved in every night

- yeah they are practically dating by now

- i mean, rei taking over the cooking since he insisted on thanking akai and would not condem himself to eating okiya subaru's barely edible curry 24/7?

- akai buying extra pillows and blankets for rei since he knows our blondie still gets cold at night?

- rei making coffee for akai in the morning?

- akai dragging a dusty old futon from the kudou's back closet for rei to sleep in, plus washing and cleaning it during the day for him?

- rei having a bag of work clothes over at the kudou mansion since he lives there at night and needs to go to work in the morning?

- akai dognapping haro because he read that dogs get lonely at night if they dont have their owners nearby on reddit and because he knows that rei always worries about the white fluff ball even when he cant think straight?

- them both getting each gifts on holidays and their birthdays?

- eventually cuddling in front of the tv and watching a show or movie together while spooning with a bowl of popcorn in the middle of the night?

- cheek kisses? forehead kisses? hair ruffles? courtesy of akai?

- rei basically cleaning the house from head to toe one night because he deemed akai's sniper nest to be uninhabbitable?

- comfort foods for each other well stocked in the fridge? borrowing the others coats and jackets to sleep in when the other's not home?

- sorry guys youre basically married now.

Silas and Wren #10

Masterpost

Warnings: Off-screen child abuse, implied past non-con, slavery

“Mama?”

Willow bit her lip, scrubbing away the stain on Master’s shirt. “Yeah, baby?”

“When will I get my mark?”

“Mark?” She could barely stand to look at him anymore.

“Like yours.” he tapped her left hand. “Ev’ry one else got one.” She swallowed hard, and wiped the sweat off her forehead. He was getting so big now.

“You’ll grow into it. All slaves do.”

___________________

She heard the screaming from across the courtyard. The urge to run and snatch her baby boy away from the branders was almost too much to bear. But she grit her teeth and dug her nails into her palms.

Wren was seven, now. The brand had to be fully healed before he could be sold.

They carried him to her shortly, his little body trembling with sobs. They shoved him into her arms, and left.

“You lied to me,” he wept. He burrowed into her chest.

“I’m sorry,” she said, helpless. “I didn’t want to scare you.”

Wren was her third child. It never got easier. He tugged on the gauze around his hand.

“Don’t scratch.”

“Why do they hurt us? It’s not fair.”

“Oh baby,” she sighed. “Fairness is for the Masters. We’re different. That’s just how it is.”

“Why?” Willow rocked back and forth.

“Slaves are just made to serve, baby. We’re meant for different things in life. Like how a dog can never be a wolf. They might look the same, but they’re not. Okay?”

“‘Kay,” he sniffed.

___________________

“Willow, Master wants you in his office.”

She hurried upstairs, dread pooling in her gut. Secretly she wished Wren had gotten an infection, just to have him a little longer.

“Sit down.”

She sat in the chair across from Master.

“The boy is healed, correct?” She wanted to yell at him. Wren was his child too; it wasn’t right he didn’t bother to learn his name.

“Yes, Master.”

“Good. He’ll be sold next week. I suggest you say your goodbyes.” Next week?

“He’s only eight, Master. Can’t he stay another year or two?”

Master frowned at her. “Out of the question.”

Tears formed at the corners of her eyes, but she refused to wipe them away. He should see the mess he made. His own son, sold away at eight. It was abnormal, children weren’t sold so young.

Master wanted him gone because Wren was his and everyone knew it.

“Don’t get hysterical, Willow. I’ll tell you what,” he sighed, “Pick the position for him to be sold under. Will that make you feel better?”

It was a one-time offer, a generous deal she couldn’t pass up.

“Kitchen work.”

“Very well. You’re dismissed.”

It was an easy decision. There would be plenty of opportunities to steal scraps and pick at leftovers, and the work would help him grow strong without breaking his back.

One last thing she could do for her child.

She just hoped Wren would stay in the kitchens.

___________________

“Mom?”

“Yeah, baby?” They stood at the front of the house, waiting for the wagon.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

“Am I going to see you again?”

It was too much. Willow got down on her knees, pulling Wren into a tight hug.

“No. I’m so sorry.”

“Oh.” He began to cry, and her heart broke. She was so stupid. She thought Master would let him be, that maybe Wren would be different to him.

“Just be good, okay? Look at me.” She wiped away his tears, and he looked at her with his big brown eyes. “Promise me you won’t cause trouble. Just do your duty and everything will be okay. Promise me.”

“I promise.”

The Adventures of Dilf!Chishiya Intro

Minors, do not read! Contains mentions of smutty behavior!

MASTERLIST (up-to-date)

This is the Intro to the Dilf!Chishiya One Shot Series

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Alice in Borderland/Imawa no Kuni no Alice characters or original stories, only the plot of this fanfic. Alice in Borderland/Imawa no Kuni no Alice characters and original storyline belong to Haro Aso, who made the Manga the Series is based on.

Trigger Warning: Questionable Behavior from a 43 year old man Summery: Its an Intro, dunno what else to say

Chishiya Shuntaro was 24 years old when he slept with a woman who he now calls his wife. At least legally. Because beside that, there is nothing between those people who only shared one night together and shit if Chishiya could turn back time and go back to this day, he would slap the hell out of his younger self, who for some reason got hella drunk that night and forgot to wrap it before he tapped it.

Too bad. The product of that fateful mistake is now 18 years old and aside from slutting around her school, dumb as fuck and sucking out the money straight from his wallet. And Chishiya?

He is now 43 and hates the two females living in his house, banging idiots like them under his roof and throwing money out of the window like they earned it and didn’t just rely on him and his good running career as a well-known and famous Surgeon.

Chishiya hated them with all his guts. His wife used the growing glob in her belly to get his father to, pretty much force him into a marriage he never wanted because, no son of his is going to dishonor him and make a bastard and in his fathers eyes, it was time for Chishiya to settle down anyway, why not doing it with the daughter of a good celebrated IT company who had the best reputation in all Tokyo?

Chishiya could name at least 5 reasons why, but the truth is, if he wouldn’t have married that gold digger of a woman and named her crotch goblin with his last name, life would have become a hassle anyway.

His father would have withdrawn all financial support and Chishiya knew without that, this fateful night would have sucked him dry of all income for at least the next 18 years anyway, so why not making it official?

The dyed blond man never planned to stay faithful anyway. Having his little side affairs here and there. At least he kept it securely under the blanket, not like his “Wife” that banging guys all over the city, telling them her sob story of how mean her husband is and cold and unloving.

No wonder that half her jewelry are gifts from random man who fell for her trap long enough to spend themselves stupid. Chishiya didn’t care. He let the people around him talk behind his back, tho they did it terribly obvious and lived his live in a fucked up suburban townhouse Street, where every building looked like the next one and everyone smiled with their perfectly 3mm moaned front yard, their 2 and a half private school children and of course the pool and the grill in the back. Always running and serving grilled cheese and nowadays vegan burger options on sunny days during Neighborhood parties.

Chishiya hated it. He hated all of it and he hated the always smiling man of every family more who he had nothing in common with, beside the stupid house he couldn’t stand and the fact that none of them knew when to pull out in time.

Until one sunny day, he set down next to one of this man circles, hearing what those monkeys had to say about growing up and their yearning taste for something fresh. He was there, but not really listened and that’s when Chishiya realized something.

Something that had skipped his mind for years, since all children in this neighborhood seemed to be almost the same age, but now grew up into more than that.

His neighbor’s daughters, stepdaughters, goddaughters, whatever and nieces. They all grew up right under his eyes and while Chishiya never saw them as anything else as annoying little barbies, screaming and tossing balls over his fence and shattering another window, all of these girls, all of them…they were now right in front of him, giggling their 18 years old asses off in way too tight bikinis and short shorts and oh don’t forget the tiny skirts.

Damn, Chishiya started to love these tiny skirts. They were his new favorite, especially when the wearing darling dropped something and had to lean down to get it.

Oh yeah, Chishiya realized that day, that his live wasn’t over as he thought so. In fact, a new season of summer just begun and the way it looked from his point of view, it carried many shades of possible fun Chishiya couldn’t wait to take a bite of. Or maybe two? Three? Who knows.

Chishiya believed for years that this kind of buffet has closed for him forever, so imagine his surprise and wide eyes as it opened with all it had to offer. How should he say no to all those new and sweet looking options?

Fuck Vegan food, Chishiya thought, licking his lips and spreading his legs just a little wider as one of the girls made her way towards him, with swinging hips and an innocent smile that contrasted hardly with her choice of clothing.

“Mister Chishiya” she addressed him and the man who suddenly loved his neighborhood more then anything hummed a low “Hm?” as a response that made the girl only smile wider, biting her lower lip as she leaned forward onto his sitting figure.

Her cleavage pretty much pressed itself into his view, but Chishiya didn’t minded it.

“You look a little…thirsty.”

With an outstretched hand she offered the blond male who was double her age her glass of Coca Cola, which Chishiya took gladly, tho he didn’t like the sweet beverage much, but how could he say no when it was delivered to him so willing? Chishiya thanked the young doll in front of him for her eager friendliness and took a sip.

“If there is something else I can help you with…” the girl said, swinging her body from left to right and winking delicious “Let me know ya?” Chishiya saw the playfulness in her eyes. The luscious want paired with sparking lust that only a blooming flower like her at the peak of her age could deliver. Coaxing him with her bright eyes and the long lashes and who knows what if he dared to scroll his eyes lower. A young perfect flower indeed. Ready to be picked and blossom between his legs in all her glory.

The way she stood there. So naïve with no idea what good and arousing things the world had to offer. She probably got a glimpse here and there, but Chishiya wasn’t some hormonal cockdriven teen. He could show her so much more and by the look of it, the girl would welcome all his advice.

Yeah, Chishiya though to himself, leaning back in his seat and following the beauty walking back in her parent’s direction, but not before flashing him another one of her electrifying smiles, sending shivers down his spine and exciting him in ways he thought wasn’t possible anymore.

Fuck veganism, today he was going to get some real meat and by the alluring look of it, he would love it to the bone with all his skills and desire. A charming thought.

Summer is finally here. And it looks fantastic.

cough cough new au? cough cough based off concept art kinda Naga, Spedis, Selk and Amon make up the "Bishops of the New Faith". They're all apprentices under Haro (with the aid of Lamb, Narinder, and rarely Ratau). They're under training to become the new bishops of the realms previously ran by Narinder's kin.

~~~ Naga is a snake/serpent that hails from the Darkwood forest. Their history is relatively unknown. They love music and can entrance enemies with wooden wind instruments. (Mainly flute.) Giant fan of Lamb and strives to be like them. x Spedis the owl is Haro's son and the youngest of the group. He's not happy with being a bishop and would rather be a teacher of the ancient texts but comes to realize he can't change his own destiny. Likes to keep to himself when he can. Not very sociable. x Selk the seal is a very stubborn girl and willing to do anything to get her way. Incredibly reckless but would put her life on the line for the ones she trusts the most. Basically the big sister of the group. x Amon the goat/sheep hybrid was born from Lamb's shadow. They're basically that one trope where the villain is a complete opposite of the protag. Their personality is similar to Narinder's. Has major self worth issues and a ongoing existential crisis but keeps it to themself.

More Akam Headcanons

Half of Rei's camera roll is filled with pictures of Akai doing adorable/stupid things. The other half is filled with pictures of Akai and Haro doing adorable/stupid things.

Akai is extremely stubborn when it comes to admitting he's sick. It's gotten to the point that Rei has taken to bolting all possible exits from the house when Akai has a cold.

Rei is trying to teach Akai about the importance of self-care. Progress has been very slow-going.

Whenever they're sitting alone at home, Rei likes to play with Akai's hair. He's one of the only people in the world that's allowed to touch it and/or see it.

Rei ends up being the first partner that Akai introduces to his family. When the day comes, Mary is ready with a PowerPoint presentation on every stupid thing her son did as a child, as well as several albums' worth of baby photos. Akai dies inside right then and there and Rei is having the best day of his life.

They're the world's deadliest dynamic duo. If you make the mistake of threatening one of them, the other will be there to make sure it's the last thing you ever do.

Akai eventually lets his hair grow out again. He doesn't let it get to the length it was at when he was Rye, but it's long enough that he can tie it back. Rei likes to spend his free time braiding it.

They still like to tease and challenge each other over everything. Whenever this happens, everyone else in the room is forgotten until they finally chill out again.

For @bryan360 and @murumokirby360

Here's a drawing for this year's Christmas. We start off where the Rabbits, the Speedsters and friends got some presents from the Ramcats.

We start off with the Speedsters side.

Murukir and Popikir got some Ballet Slippers from Tory for both of them to dance together. Alongside the Speedster family.

Spot, Riya and Vanilla got plushies of Shadow, Tory and Lisa from them. I bet they'll both love to snuggle their plushies together while in bed. Cude also got a Plushie of Caleb and a Gift Card to Wingstop from Caleb and Mayu got herself a Haro Phone so that Cude and Mayu can keep in contact alongside getting connected to their Haros. Miya and Aace got armor and weapons from Porsche and Jenny. Miya got a Yoyo Ball and a stun Taser for her to protect herself with her electric moves, while Aace, has the ability to wrestle by using boxing gloves and knee caps for him to be the greatest brawler in the family.

For the Rabbits, Maxwell got an Xbox Series X from Shadow and for Maxwell to play. May got herself a Gaming Laptop from Caleb so she can play some games on her PC alongside chatting with her friends including Riya, Tory, Lisa, Shadow, Yinna, Vanilla and the kids. Sam got a Switch game from Tory and it's Super Mario RPG, looks like Sam will enjoy playing it and maybe he can invite Heffy and Zack over to play. And for Emme and Jo they got spare clothes from Lisa like her normal casual clothes that can change into different colors depending on their emotions, and got some pajamas and autumn and Winter Clothes and a device of how they can both act like Lisa together. And for Maxwell and Spot's parents, they each got some Autumn and Winter clothes from Paul and Debby and some random stuff for them. Bonn got a Digital DVD copy of Gran Turismo the Movie, Rita and Windy got iPads so they can chat and play together along with Debby. And Scottie got himself a book where he can write down his ideas on what kind of stories he likes to write about, especially when can send some to his work. And maybe Maxwell and Scottie can both write a story together like Father and son.

To @bryan360 @murumokirby360 and others, Merry Christmas!

Podrías hablarme un poco sobre Nathe? O en general de tus personajes que tienen ese patrón de calavera en sus caras? Personalmente, son mis diseños favoritos de todos los que has hecho, y me gustaría conocer más sobre su historia.

Es gracioso que siempre me preguntan por ellos, pero no los culpo, a mi también me gustan mucho jeje, acá te paso un resumen:

Los personajes con patrón de calavera son los "Discípulos de la muerte", quienes fueron creados por Vissmund, su rey (6), capacitados para seguir con su labor de guiar, arrebatar y/o utilizar las almas con tal de mantener el mundo equilibrado. Ellos son Naria (1) , Aidém (2), Gerio (3) , Haro (4) y Diro (5), todos llevan una parte de su rey, al igual que poderes mentales desarrollados a su manera (Son distintos entre si, pero la mayoría tiene en común la telequinesis y hablar telepáticamente). De los 5, el único que está en desacuerdo con su labor es Diro, yendo en contra de la mayoría de las normas de su especie (Pero eso algún día lo sabrán con mas detalle).

Y luego está Nathe, él solo existe, no aporta nada en este grupo (?) No es broma, solo dibujo a Nathe porque me gusta su diseño jdsfk no he podido crearle una historia concreta, pero si pudiera darle alguna utilidad y encajarlo entre los discípulos de la muerte, podría decir que fue uno de los primeros intentos de Vissmund por crear un discípulo perfecto, pero este salió por así decirlo "débil", ya que no tiene poderes mentales, por lo que anda por ahí haciendo lo que quiere con su guadaña jaja

No esperen buenas historias de mi, soy pésima, pero me gustan así xD no me gusta crear algo demasiado complejo.

Some of my personal Cult of the Lamb headcanons, in no particular order. Some content warnings for game spoilers, general violence, gore, and fictional genocide:

- You fight the Bishops from youngest to eldest. Narinder is the second-youngest sibling, being older than Leshy but slightly younger than Heket.

- The Bishops are adoptive siblings. When the Lands of the Old Faith were the Lands of a Thousand Gods, things were intensely violent and chaotic. All the Bishops lost their birth parents/families to this godly infighting.

- Shamura found each Bishop also in order of age, though Narinder quickly became their favorite after “adopting” him into the family.

- Narinder barely remembers his parents now, but at one point he knows he had a birth mother who grew sick and died, prompting a lifelong fascination with life and death.

- Kallamar is a god of both magic and art, and was the arcane researcher of the bunch.

- Prior to the schism, Narinder was closest with Kallamar and Shamura, with Shamura being his undisputed favorite sibling.

- Heket and Narinder had a more ‘traditional’ brother-sister relationship, marked by lots of arguing and pranks.

- Narinder was occasionally tapped to babysit Leshy, but beyond those times they didn’t interact as often as he did with the others.

- As mortals, the Bishops worship was collective. It wasn’t until they all ascended that their worship split into distinct cults. This is also what caused their infighting and downfall.

- Narinder never intended to betray his siblings. He did discover resurrection and acknowledged the power it had to make their devotees convert to his worship, but in Narinder’s mind, even if he usurped their cults, it was obvious he would continue to take care of his siblings.

- As a result, Narinder was completely blindsided by their betrayal. The “sacrifices” each Bishop made were the wounds Narinder dealt as he desperately fought his family— with the worst wound being dealt to his favorite sibling, Shamura.

- At first, Narinder believed the imprisonment was temporary and his siblings would come to their senses. When they didn’t, true madness set in. The One Who Waits has bony arms due to centuries of stripping godly flesh by thrashing against the chains.

- The prophecy Shamura received was a self fulfilling one. Narinder was not going to act against his siblings— until they imprisoned him. Then the only way to interact with the world was through vessels bearing his Crown, and their fates were sealed.

- Haro has been a god since before the Bishops’ ascension, and watched their journey from mortals to broken godly family.

- I already have a post on this, but Shamura was the god who sacrificed Baal and Aym to Narinder. In a moment of clarity, they realized he had been totally alone save for passing dead, and in their horror tried to find him companions. They chose two kittens that reminded them of how Narinder was when they first met.

- Narinder, while shocked and confused by the sacrifices Shamura sent him, deeply valued Aym and Baal. He treated them as sons, training them in battle and telling them stories from his own half-forgotten life.

- While imprisoned, Narinder forgot about most things. As a mortal, he takes great joy in rediscovering the mundanity of life.

- As a mortal, Narinder applies his creativity and curiosity to his work within the cult. He makes a variety of improvements to the cult’s farming, including irrigated fields, better fertilizers, and natural pesticides.

- The Lamb is nonbinary and AMAB.

- The Lamb’s favorite food is apples, and they continue to eat them even when a full fledged god.

- The Lamb is a young adult at the start of the game, roughly the human equivalent of 21-23. They’re a “late bloomer,” giving them an even more youthful appearance than would be typical of other sheep their age.

- They have a name, but embrace the title of “The Lamb” after the death of their family.

My Cult of the Lamb Theories

I wanted to consolidate my COTL Worldbuilding theories. When commenting on posts I reference them a lot so why not put them all in one place. I'll update this list as needed.

Most of my theories are about how the world of COTL works and my favorite blorbos. Mainly TOWW, his sons and one-off posts about minor characters like Midas or Sozo. I also do character analysis if there's enough information to do so.

They're free to reference as that is the nature of worldbuilding. All that I ask is that some credit be given if they are used. I do NOT allow the use of my work to be used to train AI though.

(This post is always being updated so keep your eyes peeled folks!)

Theory 1 - Why does only TOWW's head transform in battle?

Theory 2 - Why TOWW becomes a follower after his defeat.

Theory 3 - Haro was a Bishop of the Old Faith.

Theory 4 - The Birth of Aym and Baal was what finally caused the Bishops to turn on Narinder.

Theory 5 - Clauneck was the person who originally foresaw the Lamb prophecy.

Theory 6 - Helob is an ant mimic. It's why he looks so different from other spiders.

Theory 7 - Sozo's followers obeyed the mushroom growing from his head, not him.

Theory 8 - Aym and Baal are Narinder's sons.

Theory 9 - TOWW needed to kill us to leave the Realm Beyond.

Theory 10 - Chemach was the one who caused the crowned gods to go extinct.

FERRÉ : Je ne suis pas, je ne peux pas être un militant. Je ne peux pas militer pour quelque idée que ce soit car je ne serais pas libre. Et je crois que Brassens et Brel sont comme moi, parce que l’anarchie est d’abord la négation de toute autorité, d’où qu’elle vienne. (…)Je vous assure que quand vous prononcez le mot anarchie, ou anarchistes, même en scène, les gens ne rigolent plus, ils sont d’accord, et ils veulent savoir ce que c’est.

BRASSENS : C’est difficile à expliquer, l’anarchie… Les anarchistes eux-mêmes ont du mal à l’expliquer (…). C’est d’ailleurs ce qui est exaltant dans l’anarchie : c’est qu’il n’y a pas de véritable dogme. C’est une morale, une façon de concevoir la vie, je crois…

BREL : …Et qui accorde une priorité à l’individu !

FERRÉ : C’est une morale du refus. Car s’il n’y avait pas eu au long des millénaires quelques énergumènes pour dire non à certains moments, nous serions encore dans les arbres !

BREL : Je suis entièrement d’accord avec ce que dit Léo. Cela dit, il y a des gens qui ne se sentent pas seuls ni inadaptés et qui trouvent leur salut collectivement.

BRASSENS : Bien sûr. En ce qui me concerne, je ne désapprouve jamais rien, les gens font à peu près ce qu’ils veulent. Je suis d’accord ou je ne suis pas d’accord, c’est tout. Parce que j’avais dit ça, on m’a souvent reproché de ne pas vouloir refaire la société. C’est que je ne m’en sens pas capable. Si j’avais des solutions collectives…

BREL : Mais qui, qui a la solution collective ?

BRASSENS : Il y en a qui prétendent l’avoir. Mais dans le monde actuel, il n’y en a pas beaucoup qui semblent la détenir… [rires] Moi, je ne sais pas ce qu’il faut faire. Si je le savais, si j’étais persuadé qu’en tournant à droite ou à gauche, en faisant ceci ou cela, le monde allait changer, je la sacrifierais ma petite tranquillité ! Mais je n’y crois pas tellement…

FERRÉ : Moi je suis moins lyrique que lui…

BRASSENS : …Toi, Léo, tu es complètement désespéré !

BREL : Il y a un phénomène d’impuissance aussi, qui est absolument affreux, quoi…

- Vous avez donc vraiment l’impression de ne rien pouvoir faire ?

BRASSENS : Non, je fais quelque chose auprès de mes voisins, de mes amis, dans mes petites limites. Je pense d’ailleurs que c’est aussi valable que si je militais quelque part… Ne pas crier haro sur le baudet, c’est une forme d’engagement comme une autre.

FERRÉ : Je trouve que Georges, dans son cœur, il milite bien plus que moi. Parce que moi, je ne crois plus en bien des choses auxquelles il veut croire.

BRASSENS : Je fais semblant, Léo. Je fais comme lorsque l’amour s’en va. Je fais semblant d’y croire, et ça le fait durer un petit peu…

FERRÉ : Non, non. Quand l’amour s’en va, il est déjà parti depuis longtemps.

- Propos recueillis par F-R Cristiani et J-P Leloir. 1969

But papa! Why?

“Are you ready? The chauffeur is waiting.”

Cora closed her eyes on hearing her mother’s voice. She felt incredibly sad having to leave her home, only because her father decided he wanted to work with a British company. And now here she was all packed to go to a foreign country. Why was he not just going himself? What was the reason they were sending her away.

She would be in a country that she did not know. She would not have any friends there. She knew how British people looked down on Americans. The people at ‘Crawley Advertisements’ would not be different.

“Cora? Did you hear me?” Martha’s voice sounded again.

“Yes mum, I am coming.” Cora closed the last suitcase and walked towards the hallway. She turned around and gave her room a last look. This was the room she grew up in. She had never suspected that she would leave this place, other than going to live on her own.

She had mentioned to her parents before, that she wanted to move out and find her own place. But her father had always said, she was better off staying at home, until she would marry. Cora huffed, look at the situation now, she thought. He was sending her away. Playing it off that it would be good for the business. ‘Levinson and Son’ was a big name in the United States. Every company that needed advertisement, came to them. Cora was convinced her father did not need the Crawley company to expand and grow in the United Kingdom. Did they even know that she was coming and not her brother Harold?

Why was he not going? She had asked her father, but his answer had been misleading and without a real answer. Her mother had not been much more help, and she even suspected her mother to be the reason she was sent off to England. She had always dreamed of her daughter marrying into British nobility.

A loud sound made Cora jump, right behind her stood her mother. She had stomped with her feet, which made the sound. “It is a private flight, so even if you arrive late, the plane will wait. Stop stalling and move.” Her mother’s words were hissed at her. Cora felt the hairs in her neck rise, her mother always managed to crawl under her skin.

“Yes, mother.” Cora followed her mother meekly. It was pointless to try and stop everything that was happening at this point. She would make the best of it she thought.

+++

In the car, she was surprised to see Harold, her mother had stayed behind with her father. She could see the tears in her mother’s eyes and she knew that her harsh behaviour came from sorrow. Although her mother was the one sending her away, Cora knew it did hurt her mother to see her daughter go so far away.

“Are you ready for this big adventure?” Harold asked.

Cora shrugged her shoulders. “I do not have a choice, do I?”

“You will have an amazing time in England. You will show those cavemen how the real and new world operates.”

“England is not a third-world country, Harold.” Every time her family talked about England, they pretended it was a poor stay-behind country. It was something she did not understand, especially not because her mother wanted her to marry an English lord, but at the same time, they always talked badly about the country. She sighed because she knew it would be the other way around once she arrived in London. The way they viewed Americans was almost comical.

“Harold?” Cora turned towards her brother. “Why are you not going instead of me?”

Harold raised his eyebrows. “Why do you ask?”

“Papa has always treated you as his partner, not me.”

“Nonsense.” Harold interrupted her.

“Is it though? What is the name of the company?”

“What do you mean?”

“As I say, what is the name of the company? It is Levinson and Son, am I right?” She saw Harold’s cheeks slightly colour. “I am not even mentioned in the name. Papa always thought I would only join for the time being until I would marry.”

“In that case Papa is right, you are 21 and it is time you will settle.”

“I am 22 and you are older and also not married!” Cora shot at Harold.

“That is different.”

“Just because you are a man it is different? That is rubbish and you know that. Papa and also you never saw me as a full partner in de company, but now you want to expand in England, I am good enough to do the dirty work?”

“Who knows, what if the love of your life walks around in London?” Harold laughed when he saw Cora’s angry face. He put his hand on Cora’s. “My darling sister, whatever Papa and Mama want to be the outcome of this adventure. Look at it as an adventure and just enjoy the chance to widen your world. And you will be able to show what we can do and make a name in England. Because of what you are going to do, we will have departments in England before we know it.”

Cora contemplated his words. Why did ‘Crawley Advertisements’ agree with this? They must know what the intentions of ‘Levinson and Son’ were. Or, she thought, they were going for the same goal. Opening offices in America.

She was caught up in this web, and she would not fight it. She had fought before, and look at where she was now. In a car towards the airport. Her brother was with her, to make sure she would step into that plane.

Monopolists want to create human inkjet printers

Even if you don’t have diabetes, you can’t have missed that there’s something really terrible going on with how Americans with diabetes control their illness. Insulin — a century-old drug whose inventors refused any patents — has experienced double-digit, year-on-year price hikes (1123% between 2009–2017 alone!):

https://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/desperate-families-driven-black-market-insulin-n730026

Moreover, this is a uniquely American circumstance. In Canada, insulin remains affordable, which is why Americans — especially parents of kids with diabetes — form caravans and cross the northern border to buy insulin from Canadian pharmacies:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/americans-diabetes-cross-canada-border-insulin-1.5125988

It’s why Americans are starting to brew their own insulin:

https://openinsulin.org/

And it’s why California is getting into the insulin-manufacturing business:

https://khn.org/news/article/california-wants-to-slash-insulin-prices-by-becoming-a-drugmaker-can-it-succeed/

Why do Americans with diabetes go into debt to buy insulin? Why do they ration their insulin, risking comas or even death? In part, it’s the US government’s unwillingness to limit pharma price-gouging. But that can’t be disentangled from the monopolization of the insulin market, an orgy of mergers that allowed a small number of companies to corner the insulin market:

https://prospect.org/health/insulin-racket/

Medical technology is a favorite target of private equity rackets, who understand that when you can threaten your customers’ very lives, they’ll pay — and pay — and pay. That’s why one private equity ghoul celebrated the “golden age of older rectums” before embarking on a spree of colonoscopy monopolization:

https://armandalegshow.com/episode/golden-age-of-older-rectums/

More than one in ten Americans have diabetes. 96 million American adults are pre-diabetic. Diabetes disproportionately strikes racialized Americans, who have less political capital and can be abused with impunity. No wonder that the entire diabetes supply-chain has been targeted by medical profiteers.

https://www.diabetes.org/about-us/statistics/about-diabetes

Take dialysis: private equity firms have bought and merged nearly all the standalone dialysis clinics and transformed them into charnel houses, where production quotas and cost-cutting produces rampant infections among the undersupervised patients who rely on them. Meanwhile, prices have skyrocketed, and those profits have been mobilized to fight any attempt at regulation:

https://prospect.org/health/dialysis-duopoly-spends-big-protect-profits-california/

The monopolization of diabetes goes beyond dialysis and insulin — it also extends into blood sugar monitoring and insulin delivery — the self-monitored, self-administered part of the disease that diabetes patients have taken into their own hands.

In 2013, Dana Lewis worked with John Costik to refine the code he’d written to access the data from his son’s continuous glucose monitor (CGM); they teamed up with Ben West, who was reverse-engineering insulin pumps, and created a “closed loop” system that could automate insulin delivery.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6610599/

They called this OpenAPS, and called themselves loopers. Organizing under the hashtag #WeAreNotWaiting, loopers collaborated to refine these systems into a kind of artificial pancreas, one that took CGM readings, analyzed them with statistical tools to create individual insulin response profiles, and release appropriate insulin doses.

https://openaps.org/

The movement included a lot of techie people who either had diabetes or parented a young child with diabetes — my friend Sulka Haro, an accomplished technologist, was the first looper I knew, who was using OpenAPS to help his young child maintain safe insulin levels while at day-care.

But looping went beyond the tech world; diabetes is extremely common, and lots of people struggle to get their doses right (not least because it can be hard to think clearly when your insulin levels are out of whack). The looper community grew and grew — over the objections of the med-tech industry, who went to war against them.

These companies had a very weird anti-looping message. They claimed that loopers’ exploitation of the defects in their pumps and monitors was, itself, a security risk. Med-tech monopolists like Abbott abused copyright law to force Github to nuke the code that made looping possible:

https://www.diabettech.com/wearenotwaiting/patching-librelink-for-libre2-clearing-the-fud/

Now, it’s clear that med-tech companies have a security problem. Medtronic’s insulin pumps were insecure enough that security researchers demonstrated a proof-of-concept “universal remote for killing people” that exploited its defects:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/08/03/turnkey-authoritarianism/#minimed

But med-tech companies don’t just have a security problem — they have a problem with their security problem. Medtronic ignored bug reports until the “universal remote” was presented. Johnson and Johnson downplayed a potentially lethal software bug in their devices:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-johnson-johnson-cyber-insulin-pumps-e-idUSKCN12411L

To the extent that med-tech companies are interested in addressing these amateurish (but incredibly dangerous) security defects in their products, their efforts are aimed almost entirely at shutting down loopers’ homebrew technology. Older tech is now prized for its usefulness to loopers:

https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/04/looping-created-insulin-pump-underground-market/588091/

Why would med-tech companies be more worried about loopers than they are about people who hijack insulin pumps to harm or even kill people with diabetes? Because open looping systems are a threat to their monopoly plans — plans to create “vertically integrated ecosystems” that lock people with diabetes into buying proprietary insulin for proprietary pumps that connect to proprietary CGMs.

In other words, the market plan is to create an artificial pancreas that works like one of HPs awful inkjet printers — a device that is more concerned with extracting money from your bank account than it is with depositing ink on a page (or insulin in a vein):

https://twitter.com/dustin_driver/status/1534333475062329344

As with other parts of the diabetes supply chain, pumps, CGMs and the algorithms that turn them into a loop are all being sucked into a vortex of corporate mergers, as private equity companies seek to corner the market on your pancreas.

In an open letter to FDA officials, Joanne Milo, raises an alarm about one such merger: CGM giant Dexcom’s bid to buy out pump manufacturer Insulet.

https://thesavvydiabetic.com/open-letter-to-the-us-fda-from-the-savvy-diabetic-re-fda-interoperability-mandate-and-end-user-on-device-continuous-access-to-our-own-data/

As Milo writes, Dexcom CGMs are currently interoperable with a variety of pumps, including Tandem’s. Dexcom has a history of fighting attempts by people with diabetes to access their own data, and the company’s acquisition of a leading insulin pump company will only strengthen their efforts to lock CGM users out of their own devices.

That would be history repeating itself. The 2020 acquisition of Companion by Medtronic triggered an immediate lockdown of Companion’s InPen insulin delivery systems so they’d no longer with with Dexcom’s CGMs. If Dexcom’s acquisition is waved through, the US market will be controlled by three pump/CGM conglomerates. That will be a death-knell for all the pump companies that don’t have a CGM division.

More importantly than these firms’ commercial fortunes is the effect on people with diabetes. The ability of diabetes patients to mix-and-match a pump, a CGM, and an algorithm to moderate their interactions will go up in smoke. If your personal biology isn’t suited to the choices of three giant companies, you’re out of luck.

Milo points out that the baby formula shortage was caused by the monopolization of another key health market. What happens if the market for diabetes tech is gathered into three companies’ hands and they seek “efficiencies” by concentrating production into a few factories and consolidating their supply chains so they depend on just a few offshore suppliers?

That would also be history repeating. Private equity rollups concentrated nearly all production of medical saline drips into one company’s hands. That company closed all its factories save one, in Puerto Rico, where local authorities gifted them with favorable tax treatment. It was great for profits and shareholders, but terrible for America — Hurricane Maria created a months-long, deadly shortage in saline — that is, salty water in a plastic bag.

https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/hurricane-maria-u-s-iv-bag-shortage/

Milo calls on the FDA to “stop treating people with diabetes as ‘black hat’ hackers, forced to reverse-engineer access to their own CGM data.” She points to peer-reviewed studies on the safety and efficacy of community-based development of multi-vendor looping systems:

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landia/article/PIIS2213-8587(21)00267-9/fulltext)

Though Milo addresses her remarks to the FDA, this is also an issue that Jonathan Kanter at the DoJ, Lina Khan at the FTC, and Tim Wu at the White House should have on their radars. The diabetes crisis is only partially medical — at this point, it primarily economic, a crisis of corporate profit-seeking over human lives.

Hello Everyone! You may recognize us from Twitter! https://twitter.com/NinjagoGen?t=BmJxYWi-9cQvmstNWtb0AA&s=09

With Twitters decline I have decided to get things going here before its too late! Hope you all like what you see! For now, heres some character descriptions and art, featuring the starter and ZX suits.

Julie (Green Ninja) is the Heir to the power of energy, she's pretty upbeat, and is constantly pushing herself to be hero Ninjago needs, she struggles with the thought of being the green ninja though, wondering were Julie begins and Savior ends. She is Lloyd's Daughter.

Colton (Earth/Gray Ninja) is like the embodiment of a dormant volcano. He's taken a lot of peoples crap throughout his life and is only one bad day from releasing that rage in violent volcanic powers. He is usually calm and patient, and when in the field, he prefers using speed and stealth, unusual for an Earth Elemental. The way he used his powers usually entail using small rock shards instead of boulders, and also uses more magma based abilities. He has a crush on her, but he'd never admit it, as he keeps his emotions bottled up. He is Cole's Adopted son.

Liam (Fire/Crimson Ninja) is a goofball, he's not the smartest, but he sure is the strongest, he's not stupid by any means though, he's no brainless brute. His powers and ignited by his passion to protect his friends, when not on the battlefield, he's keeping things positive. He uses his powers more defensively, whether that be a literal fire wall, or a heat shield when it comes to protecting against the cold. He is Kai's Student (No bloodties or family relation).

Tammy (Lightning/Violet Ninja) Is the team's mechanic, pilot, and chemist, she's a bit of a nervous wreck, has a crush on Liam but is too shy too say anything. She might be shy, but her courage in battle is nearly unmatched. She is Jay and Nya's Daughter.

Haro (Ice Ninja) is the Humanoid. Artificial. Robotic. Offspring. of Zane and Pixal! He's a lot like Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory, by that I mean he's is overly analytic, takes things far too seriously, and has a hard time understanding Human Emotions, let alone his own. Despite all this, he has shown an unmatched level of creative planning and improvisation, even showing the ability to create new improvised weapons from his ice powers. Unlike Zane, Haro has not found an identity beyond being his parents son. He is Zane and Pixal's robo son.

These images were made by my friend, RTFenix, but they don't really have social media

#ninjago #ninjago lloyd #ninjago kai #ninjago cole #ninjago zane #ninjago jay #ninjago nya #ninjago skylor #ninjago pixal #lego ninjago #lego #next-gen #next generation #ninjago next gen
