Being best friends with Helena Targaryen
Tumblr media
Helping her when she's overcome with different emotions or when her family brushes off whatever she says.
Being the main one to really listen to her visions or predictions and being on her side about them.
Telling each other everything from who is trying to get your attention, her marriage to Aegon, books, what if life was different for you both, and her lighting up as she tells you about different bugs she got to see.
Having tea together and going for calming walks through the gardens as you enjoy time together.
Bullying Aegon into being a nice brother and husband to her since she's a pure little sweetheart and doesn't deserve his bullshit, and making sure she knows that whatever Aegon does within their marriage isn't her fault and that she's special and Aegon's problems are just undealt with.
Helping her not be so shy and making sure people listen when she's trying to talk no matter who it is.
Hanging out with her so much by reading together, baking if you can, and standing together during court/parties so much so that Alicent is constantly being reminded of her time with Rhaenyra.
Literally never letting anything or body hurt her no matter your size or stature, once she's hurt your more worse to deal with than Alicent when Aemond lost his eye.
Helping her take care of her kids and being a godparent to them.
Her being most comfortable around you and always gives you sweet and gentle touches to help show her appreciation and even gifting you her hard worked on embroideries.
She adores taking walks in the woods. She’d probably pick a basket of berries to take with you, then you both would find a beautiful spot in the woods under a shade tree to rest and enjoy the sights and sounds of the forest. She would create many new memories with the person she trusts most in the world.
You both could go riding, to spend time together. Her sweet dragon could use the air and she loves getting to share that time with you.
Finding stray animals and taking them in together caring for them and if pushed by everyone else looking for the owners before getting the idea to get your own shared animals.
She loves to read a lot, mostly history and religious books, from both the Andals and Old Valyria, she loves to paint and she likes to write poetry too. She's also a great dancer, she can dance with anyone and she's a great gardener, her favorite flowers are roses and her favorite tree is the cherry tree. She likes watching the stars, the moon, and the sunset.
Well, you'll play cyvasse and sometimes you'll have private concerts together and share with the world all our passion through music and dance.
Taking walks through the streets of flea bottom and pretending to be common folk. To be silly and carefree. But no one knows what it's like to be a high title and she enjoys not having a care in that moment especially if the kids are with you both.
Having been practically inseparable since you were children regardless of your title. The majority of your free time is spent reading or sewing together, and sometimes on long nature walks or horse riding. She shares a love of beautiful things as you can see from her new jewelry, and spend much time discussing fashion and the latest trends.
Our favorite activities are reading, walking in the gardens, having picnics, and stargazing. We always have the most interesting conversations. Just as much as she loves learning about your lands and people, she feels important that you want to learn about her family and the Seven Kingdoms as much as she gets into it and speaks more than anybody has ever heard from her.
She would spend as much time as she can with you, listening to your problems, having fun together, and laughing when you tell her a joke. She would show you the same love and care, and she would always be there for you when you need her. She believes her best friend is the greatest blessing she could have in this world other than her kids, and she wants you to know how much she values your friendship.

Hi! you and @aifsaath “my greatest and best authors” I love how both of you wrote Aegon and Baela in OFCIR their thoughts, their feelings, their perspective on everything and everyone. How distinct their pov to each other. It’s such a breathtaking story, very beautiful and heart wrenching. Thank you both for writing this masterpiece and sharing it with us🤍
Can you both please share with us your own headcanons of Aegon and Baela about their hobbies and childhood, what studies they excelled in?? Anything you both don’t mind sharing🤍. Again Thank you both for writing this masterpiece.
Thank you so much!! That's such a lovely thing to hear! We're really pleased with how much people are enjoying this brainrot of ours, and exploring a post-Dance world in the bookverse gives us a ton of freedom to play around with what-ifs and be self-indulgent to an extent without having to change the canon events of the Dance much, although we do embellish and take some liberties.
(answers to your question below the cut!)
As for headcanons, we have talked about their childhoods a lot (at some point we might post some small one-shots from the past, pre-war)! Our Aegon is an adhd king. In the modern world, his teachers would have been telling him he's smart but needs to apply himself. He didn't have to study hard, but would show up to lessons with the answers, which was very annoying to his siblings. He's good at languages (you'll see a bit in this upcoming chapter, Baela teasing him a bit for speaking a less colloquial Valyrian than she speaks), music, and poetry. He was a "difficult" kid, always up to mischief, especially sneaking into the kitchens to steal sweets, and became an avowed hedonist in his teenage years. He had an alcohol problem at a young age, spent a lot of time with whoring and with various lovers, and you'll see in upcoming chapters some of the backstory behind his self destructive behavior. Some of it you can probably guess at. Helaena was his bff when they were little kids, but the marriage was damaging to that relationship.
Baela's childhood was influenced heavily by Grandma Rhaenys, who had high standards for her. Book!Baela, unlike show!Baela, was betrothed to Jace as a baby, before her mother and uncle Laenor died, with the expectation that she'd be queen one day, and grandma had the task of preparing her. Baela had a strong bond with her father, who is the one who taught her all of the Valyrian rituals and traditions you see in OFCIR, and taught her how to handle her dragon, even the basics of battle, which is how she managed to survive the battle with Sunfyre. Those are things she held dear as a young woman, and she takes a lot of pride in being a repository of knowledge about Valyrian culture. Baela gets a bit of "not like other girls" treatment in canon and fanon, but we treat Baela's post-Dance rebelliousness as a kind of trauma response (canon Baela really gets the shaft post-Dance). Our Baela gets to be more involved and active, so we see more of her "raised for queenship" side come out, her manners, he political instinct (although she has to remember to hold her tongue), even her skills with embroidery, all things she was taught by grandma. So if our Baela isn't running wild in the streets, it's because she has more of a purpose than canon Baela did. You might also have noticed, our Baela loves the sea. As a child she loved swimming in the ocean with Rhaena, playing on the beach, catching crabs, running along the docks and playing on grandpa's boat. The ocean is her happy place (and as someone who also grew up on the coast-- same!). @aifsaath what else?

Jen Tortures Herself With Every Dreamworks Animated Movie Ever: How to Train Your Dragon 2
Tumblr media
(*screams in insanely high frequencies*) HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 IS ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS DREAMWORKS HAS EVER MADE AND SOMEHOW EVEN BETTER THAN THE FIRST AND I AM IN SHAMBLES EMOTIONALLY AFTER WATCHING IT BUT I NEED YA'LL TO LISTEN TO ME AS I SCREAM ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT THIS FILM IS TO ME OK?
Woo, ok, calming down a bit. But can you really blame my excitement? How to Train Your Dragon 2 is just... so damn good, it is so damn good ya'll. It takes everything the first movie did, the characters, the story, the animation, the music, and just... perfects it. It is an utterly fantastic ride from beginning to end and it is one of the main factors as to why I am so utterly head over heels for this franchise (well, it and Race to the Edge, again go watch it, its good).
Tumblr media
We return to Berk five years after the first movie, with Hiccup under pressure from his father to take on the mantle of chief. However, danger soon arrives in the form of Drago Bludvist, who is amassing a dragon army. While searching for Drago to try and reason with him, Hiccup reunites with his estranged mother, Valka, who, much like him, has a deep affinity and respect for all dragons. From there, well, damn a bunch of stuff happens, in a story that just flows so well and just... slams you with so many emotions, from sheer joy and wonder to crushing despair and grief. It's a roller coaster, to say the least, one that is utterly captivating and at times, utterly heartbreaking. And I adore every last second of it.
Tumblr media
Our returning characters are all fantastic, as usual. I especially love the arc Hiccup goes through here, because while the first movie was in ways, a coming of age story for him, this one truly is, with him struggling to figure out who he really is and who he's meant to be. It's a beautiful narrative about responsibility and leadership, one that Hiccup and Toothless experience together in such a beautiful, parallel way. As for our new cast, we have Valka (who I'm in love with btw) and she's just delightful. The way we get to see her bond with Hiccup and rekindle her relationship with Stoick is absolutely beautiful (AT LEAST UNTIL THE DAMN MOVIE TEARS THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY APART WHY CANT THEY HAVE ANYTHING NICE FUCK).
Tumblr media
However, I do have to say that the weakest link in both this movie, as well as the next installment in this series... is its villain. The first movie didn't have much in the way of an antagonist, and I think it worked well in its favor. Because HTTYD antagonists... are kind of mid to lame. Drago Bludvist is certainly on the more mid side; he's just... ya know, a bad guy. He isn't really a compelling foil to Hiccup, just some crazy guy who wants to use dragons to conquer people and uses violence to get his way. He's not especially interesting, despite his rather cool design. He's just... there.
Tumblr media
But that one minor point aside, everything else about this movie is utterly fantastic. The animation is somehow even more stunning than the first, with so many new dragon designs to see and an even wider world to explore. The flying and fight scenes are so mezmerising to watch, and the music FUCKING GOD don't get me started on this score. It is utterly HEAVENLY, just like the first movie's (also For the Dancing and the Dreaming has me in shambles, I'm still crying, don't look at me). What kind of insane magic Dreamworks used to make this movie look and sound as good as it does? The world may never know.
Tumblr media
So yeah, this movie clearly has a major soft spot in my heart. I watched it when it first came out in theaters and absolutely loved it then, just like I do now. Every time I review it, I fall more in love, especially now that I've seen the tie in shows, I can appreciate how they led up to this movie and what details were thrown in that to make them serve as something of a prologue to 2.
Tumblr media
As for the movie itself, its such a masterful work of art, one that I'll gladly return to over and over again. Aside from Prince of Egypt, it's probably my second favorite Dreamworks movie overall. And considering some of the other contenders on this list, that's saying something. I love it to pieces, always have, always will. It's wonderful.
Overall Rating: 10/10
Verdict: Hiccup's Mom has got it going on

37 - Battle Celebration
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Part 38
Fire OF A Stark
@dragonixfrye
By the time the morning had returned over Winterfell castle everything was silent and the ground was covered with the bodies that had fallen during the long battle. Joanna’s wings were flapping lazily when we headed towards the ground. The snow gets pushed around when her claws hit the ground. Scanning over the battlefield I could feel a nervous pit in my stomach searching for Jaime. “Come on girl. We need to find him…Jaime!”
“Lynesse…urgh…Little dragon!” Whipping my head around I heard his voice come across the field. Climbing down off her saddle Joanna made a noise when I started running as fast as my legs could carry me seeing the golden hair and green eyes coming straight towards me.
Jaime halted in his tracks doing the best to catch me when I fling my arms around his body. We fell onto the snow clinging onto one another for dear life. “You are never allowed to fight anymore battles, do you understand me? You are supposed to remain by my side and not do anything reckless ever again Jaime Lannister.”
“Believe me, little dragon. I don’t intend on fighting anymore. There shouldn’t be any more battles after this one. The only thing you and I should worry about is us and our daughter.” He declares where I broke the hug getting to my feet offering my hand for him to take and he does where I grunted pulling him up to stand.
Wrapping my arms around his neck once more I sighed in relief. He wrapped his arms around my waist tugging me into his chest. He rested his forehead against mine hearing someone coming our direction. "Thank the gods that you two made it. I don't think I could have been a great father to Rhea. I am planning on being the fun drunk uncle Tyrion."
"Tyrion. Rhea..thank the gods." I stepped forward taking her from my brother in law's arms. Cradling her in my arms my eyes lifted back up to the castle where we all headed back inside. There was a beautiful sound of laughter that filled the halls of my former home. Slipping on a change of clothes I was wearing a gray tunic and some trousers. My hair was in two separate braids falling over my shoulders and my sword was attached to my hip even though there shouldn’t be any more battles to fight…you can never be too careful though.
Holding my daughter on my knee I bounced her up and down making her giggle. It hurt my heart to know that the last time there was laughter here was when the Stark family was still whole. "We will have you splashing in the water in the days to come, Rhea. I used to jump from the highest rock and into the water below with no ounce of fear. You shall too, my little lioness-dragon." Jaime explained tickling his daughter on the bottom of her feet making her giggle.
"And I remember once that you told me that you wouldn't be a good father." I teased him raising my glass of wine seeing Brienne and Tyrion walking over to us.
Tyrion slides in on the other side of the table sitting beside his brother. He pours himself a tall glass of wine sliding the wine over to the others wanting them to join in. “I have a drinking game that I enjoy. Let’s play that.”
Jaime nodded, pouring some for the First Lady knight of the Seven kingdoms. “We fought dead things and lived to talk about it. If this isn't the time to drink, when is?”
One of Jon’s men that was raised over the wall raises his glass causing everyone in the room to cheer beside him. “To the Dragon Queen!”
“To Arya Stark, the hero of Winterfell!” Daenerys raised her cup mentioning my younger sister who wasn’t in the room but she was rather out in the stables practicing her archery skills. She had managed to kill the Night King so now she was the greatest hero ever.
My brother in law turned to me explaining the rules of the game he apparently invented. “Here’s how it works. I will make a statement about your past. If I’m wrong I drink and if I am right you drink….you were trained how to sword fight by your brother Robb and Jon Snow.”
“Darn you Lannister.” I mutter drinking from my cup being the first to go. “Jaime’s turn.”
He pressed his lips together staring at Brienne. “Um...You are an only child.”
“I told you I was.” She knitted her brows.
He fought back. “You didn't.”
She shook her head. “I did.”
“I surmised it.” He waved his hand pointing his finger at her.
“Drink.” Tyrion raised his cup to his brother. “Go again.”
“Why does he get to go again?” She grumbled at the dwarf.
He crossed his arms over his chest, smirking.“Because it's my game.”
Rhaenyra reached for the cup in my hand so I held it away from her making her whine. Bending my head down I hummed the song that Sansa had taught me knowing it calmed her down. Jaime smiled in my direction finding that the torch light made your white hair almost glow giving him an idea when the three of you traveled. “You have danced with Renly Baratheon.”
Tyrion declared seeing that she looked at her squire Poddtrick who smiled. “Drink.”
“You kissed someone before Jaime?” She asked me making me lift my cup pretending that she was right but I pointed towards her smirking.
She glared at me drinking again trying to think of something. “Hmm..you once tried to cut your hair to look like a man, but Lady Catelyn was furious when she found out.”
“Fine.” I take a drink from my cup knowing she was right. I hadn’t told anyone but you could see parts of my hair were shorter than the others meaning I had layers from the incident.
It was an hour later and the game was still going on. Tyrion was leaning against the back of his chair tapping his fingers on the table watching his little niece. “Mm! You were married. Before Sansa.” She asked him suddenly.
“Drink.” Jaime pointed his finger at his brother's chest. The three of us watched the dwarf drink a long sip from his cup.
Tyrion shifted in his seat moving his gaze between his brother and I. Sucking in a breath I had no clue who he was going to talk about or what he would say. “You have thought about having more children since your birth of Rhaenyra.”
“Tyrion…that doesn’t count.” I blushed as red as the Lion banner. Jaime nudged me with his arm accidentally giving me the opportunity to see that my husband was blushing too yet he had that cheeky smirk on his face at the same time.
He cleared his throat moving his gaze downward to our daughter seeing that she was messing with her uncle Tyrion’s beard. “Tyrion…would you mind watching her for a little while?”
“You're drinking wine, but you prefer ale!” Brienne hit her fist on the table starting the game again seeing that Jaime and I had our minds elsewhere.
Tyrion laughed, finally looking in our direction. “No! Oh and of course I’ll watch the little dragon. But I demand to know some details later.”
Jaime and I got to our feet where I grabbed his hand dragging him through the hallway hearing Tyrion’s next statement of the game. “You're a virgin. At no point in the past, up until this very moment, have you slept with a man. Or a woman.” Yet we couldn’t be bothered to turn back.
“You should have told me you wanted children, little dragon. This could have happened so much sooner.” He told me capturing my lips with his own.
I pushed him against the wall wrapping my arms around his neck deepening the kiss smirking up at the lion. “Well I’m sorry. But you seem to have forgotten that we have been running from your sister and the army of the dead for quite some time. So I couldn’t really suggest to you that I wanted another baby now.”
“Avy jorrāelan lynesse stark-targārien (I love you Lynesse Stark-Targaryen)." He muttered in between our heated kisses. He switched our position where my back got pressed against the stone wall. He moved his real hand to cradle my face breaking the kiss eyeing the crown that sat upon my head now. "Pōnta istan calling hen naejot se tolie dāria zaldrīzoti tonight. Yn se mērī dāria nyke ūndegon iksos se mēre standing paktot isse naejon hen issa. ( They were calling out to the other dragon queen tonight. But the only queen I see is the one standing right in front of me.)"
Squeezing his shoulders underneath my fingernails I tugged him closer into my chest. I felt the golden hand go underneath my tunic shirt where I mumbled in between the heated kiss. "Avy jorrāelan jaime lannister."
"Nyke surprised naejot gūrēñagon bona targaryens aren't se mērī ones naejot ȳzaldrīzes valyrīha dombo. (I am surprised to learn that Targaryens aren't the only ones to speak Valyrian anymore.)" Whipping our heads around in the direction of the voice we broke away from one another seeing that Daenerys was standing in the middle of the hallway staring at us closely.
Separating from his embrace I gently put a hand to the crown feeling that it was about to fall off my head. "Daenerys. I should thank you. Having another dragon rider out there helped a great deal-"
"So it was true what Tyrion said about you. You are the one who holds the long lost crown of Rhaenyra. And that means that you and your Lion husband shall fight for the claim of the Iron Throne and Dragonstone." She cut me off and I could hear the annoyance in her tone.
"I don't intend on fighting for the throne. I don't want any part of it. You can have it no matter what. I just want to live out my life with my husband and our daughter." I exclaimed to her not expecting her to still see me as an enemy.
She stepped forward eyeing the crown upon my head. "If you don't want the throne then why are you wearing this?"
"I…uh…because I saw Rhaenyra in a dream. She told me she wanted me to find it." I stuttered on my words thankfully Jaime attempted to step up.
"My wife said she doesn't want the throne isn't that enough. You only have my sister fighting against you for it." He intertwined my hand with his leading us back to our chambers leaving the queen alone with her thoughts. "We will talk later, Daenerys."
Once the door was shut behind me I slumped my shoulders running my fingers through my hair. Staring at myself in the mirror I trained my eyes on the golden object on my head. "What if Rhaenyra was right about me, Jaime?"
"Right about what, Lynesse?" He came behind me wrapping his arms around my middle.
Turning in his arms I draped my arms over his shoulders meeting his green gaze. "In my dream she told me that the Iron Throne needed someone with the right family name. But also someone who wanted nothing to do with ruling the Seven kingdoms…someone like me."
"I thought you didn't want the throne, little dragon. You said that you wanted to return home to Casterly Rock and begin our lives again or have I misunderstood you?" He asked me tucking some hair behind my ear for me.
Dropping my gaze for a brief moment I hesitated in my answer to him. "I don't really know anymore. Dany declared she wants it. But before she got here you saw the Lords of the North bend the knee and declare me queen…I have no clue what the right thing to do is. I just love you and Rhea, that is all I know for certain."
"Whatever you decide I will be by your side. We are family and Lannisters always look out for their family." He mumbled wrapping his arm around my waist tugging me into his chest. Wrapping my arms around his neck I sighed looking back at us in the mirror. Jaime was staring down at me and I was staring straight at him with the dragon crown tilted on my head.

This is more something I'm confused about. Is Maleficent still alive? We know that Malleus is her grandson, and his grandmother rules over Baire Valley. But one the other hand, aren't statues made to honour dead historical figures? Idk, just something that tripped me up.
As a follow up to this, I guess, how would the girls react to meeting Maleficent if she's still alive?
From what I understand, yes Maleficent is alive and the current queen of Briar Valley. But the seven are just supposed to be the greatest mages since the schools founding. Meaning not all of them are necessarily dead. In fact, I have been headcanoning maleficent being alive us exactly WHY the villians are so revered. She told their stories in positive lights which made people remember them as good and just instead of the bad guys. Fae are very long lived after all so it isn't so strange she would still be alive (ignoring that in sleeping beauty she gets a sword to the heart, were going to run on maleficent movie logic here)
As for the girls, even before coming to TWST and seeing how their history's were remembered I imagined they were all rather sympathetic to the disney villians. So no one would react badly I think, especially since she must not have done anything horrible since Aurora and Phillips time. So here is some brief over views
Val: amazed she's still alive and thinks she's cool
Kris: finds her to be an icon because she too would curse a bitch for not inviting her to a party
Anne: feels her level of spite on a spiritual level
Jude: gay panic. what? She had her childhood movie crushes.
Kim: wants to know how she's so tall and so feminine at the same time
Eva: gay panic part 2. But also she wants to see the dragon form
Fiona: wants to hug her and gush because she was her favorite villian and thought it was just cruel for the king and queen to invite even other fairies to the christening but not her. Sure she probably didn't need to curse a baby over it, but those are details. Also can she see the dragon form pretty please?

"..."
A pair of glassy eyes stare into another. No words are exchanged, not while they are still being ruminated.
In her hands is something special--wrapped in tan cloth and kept free from the sun's harsh rays. She had been told, by the one who gave it to her, that its first sparkle is always the greatest. And so it would be wise to save it for its great unveiling.
"I have something," stated as a fact, not proclaimed as some revelation the other would be surprised to hear, "I want you to have it."
With preamble flat as a field, Idunn reveals her gift. Without flair--without style--its small tarp is pulled off a crystalline surface. And it refracts light in hues of golden-blue and azure-yellow. Each ray stretches onto the ground and over the other's skin, spreading their grasp to any surface they can cling to. Evidently, it is a piece of fine craftsmanship.
But for all its beauty, it serves no real purpose.
"Humans are always doing strange things... Making strange things. I saw one making dragonstones, but he says they're fake." And indeed, this one is too. It contains not a drop of power, divine, fire, or otherwise. Idunn can sense as much. Likely just a rare crystal, polished and shined until bearing resemblance to the unforgettable marks of history that their kind must carry. "It's pointless, yet I want to do pointless things," she explains.
"I want to participate in the festival."
Doing her part, Idunn takes Sophia's hand--much warmer than hers--and imparts it not with the simple gift, but with the knowledge that she is cared of. For every small second they two spent in Arcadia, along with Fae, the growing heart is grateful.
"Happy Day of Devotion," said flat, but meant with excitement, "And thank you... For all you've done."
It's so much like something Fae would do that Sophia startles a bit. There's no telling how many times the young dragon has handed her a particularly pretty pebble on one of her exceedingly rare excursions outside of her room, calling it a gift. Part of it is the pure, selfless desire of a child to share interesting things with one's friend, but another, she suspects, is the desire to make up for something she lacks. It is the one thing that sets her apart, makes her different from them.
She accepts the fake stone, regardless, holding it as preciously as she would a real one. Even if it is no more than a beautiful, but ordinary stone, it is the intention behind the action that means so much more. To have received a gift at all from the demon dragon would have been unthinkable only a short while ago.
Just like every odd pebble, she will cherish this gem as if it were a real dragonstone.
"Thank you... I'm really happy... to have this. I will treasure it."
In truth, she does not feel like she has done much of anything to deserve thanks. She does not have Fae's cheerful personality, nor Lord Roy's decisiveness. To be frank, she's quite the awkward person. She's not the greatest with strangers and she doesn't communicate all that well. She has been isolated for so long that it's difficult to relate to humans, but she also lacks fundamental knowledge of dragons. How exactly has she been helpful enough to warrant such gratitude?
But Idunn's cold hands around her own tamp down the protests that threaten to rise in Sophia's heart. She accepts the gratitude like she accepts the gift, a bit awkwardly, but nevertheless touched.
"It is strange... isn't it? Humans live for such a short time... and yet they do... pointless things. They give each other flowers... just for them to wilt. But they're... still happy. There are... so many wonderful things... in this world... that only humans can show us."
Sophia takes a shuddering breath, clearly a little winded from speaking so much all at once.
"Happy...Day of Devotion, Idunn. I hope... this festival helps you understand... what an amazing world this is... even if it's just a little. I hope... one day... the sadness in your heart becomes bearable."

Cryophobia: The First Death.
The cold of The Cleft was not an unknown thing. To those who lived there a long time ago, it was a familiar threat. The cold was not a thing you could forget when snow sat all around you, watching you. Most were well dressed for it, kids played at home or in places meant for them and most stayed safe. The more draconic residents had no fear of winter, they merely saw it as a slight nuisance. What is cold to a being like that? Discomfort.
To Uusa, the cold is their greatest enemy. Winter killed their crops. Their animals. Soon, it could kill them if they don't hibernate. If they don't hide. But Verin, well, it's been a long time since he was just a Uusa. He is a fighter, a master of combat. True freedom is his. Or was. Having a child reminds you of all your inadequacies. Sure, you can fight a dragon. But can you comfort a crying little one and promise them, well and truly, they're safe? Even if you don't know yourself? He knew then. He knew he would have to fight a new foe. Himself.
And now, Min is gone. Who is he without them? Their shaking hands, that anxious voice. The only good use for his strength, to pick up their small frame and to tell them how safe they really are. Min is safe, he's been told. They're okay. Physically. But he cannot leave them alone. Because, if he does, what reason does he have left? All he has is her and his vices.
5:30 PM. 
He bid his party farewell after the battle with the dragons, to prove themselves. It was before the cast would learn of the blizzard. He had no idea what was waiting… 
Stage 1.
He stepped into the white death. His mind was not on the cold but Min, and his skin felt the cold like a knife. He doesn't see the signs in the clouds, or the feeling in the wind, and proceeds confidently. He knows that staying in the cold hurts, and has brought his tent and warm clothes as a precaution. Oh, but these clothes are for city winters. Not the wild kind. A treacherous step down the side of the mountain, he walked the path with the least climbing. It was more a ramp than a climb, though there were some steps down. It was a confident stride, but going down by himself was a day's amount of work, so it was measured and cautious. Verin thinks of his horse, Rabicano, and how much easier this would be with them. A lot less lonely too, as he began to notice the lack of animals. He looked closer, and noticed one in the snow. 
A white rabbit. Dead. 
Verin looks at it, and figures the cause was illness. The rabbit is thin, and gaunt, the cold outlining its skeleton perfectly, like shrink wrap. Verin, despite being a warlock, never stopped to study omens. Or signs. Thus, he carried on. 
7:00 PM.
Light snowfall began a bit ago. Ten minutes for us, but Verin has a poor sense of time. If it wasn't for the others, he'd always be late. The frozen rocky path was beautiful, chillingly silent. Absent of life that isn't him. Stepping forward onto the flat area, the chill settled in. Verin let out a misty breath and lit a torch, its small fire keeping him warm. He began to shiver, and the wind was picking up faster than he thought. He knew the feverish cold wouldn't leave him unaffected, but it was still a surprise how much he shaked even with the fire. Still, he presses on and he watches the sun set. The pink light of the sun diffused through thick, dark clouds and snow, the soft gaze of the stars beaming down on his grey skin and the thickening snow. As night set, the moon became visible. A crescent moon. 
10:00 PM. 
A camp has been built. A fire was made. He tries to sleep in the thin domain of the tent, but the ripped walls can't keep the cold out. And the rabbit shivers in his sleep. Nightmares and darkness, awaking for a second only to fall back into sleep. 
11:00 PM. 
The roof of the tent was torn off. Verin screams as his eyes open to the torrent of snow. The wind cuts at his face. He tries to pick a torch out his bag, a light, anything to make the cold stop. As he reached into his bag, he realised he couldn't tell what was what. What he was touching. 
Quickly, he pulled it out. The torch, yes. He tried to light it with a spell, the spark of green blossoming from his fingers only to die in the cold. He slowly feels them go numb, the cold loosening his grip as he begins to panic. He doesn't even feel it as the torch falls to the ground. The man hyperventilates. 
Stage 2.
He screams as he tries to climb back up. He's too numb to shiver, and his mind is in a frenzy. Clumsy steps up the path, his numb fingers dig into the killing snow as he pulls himself up. Each bit of movement hurts, and his nerves begin to dance. Snow hits his face like a strike, and saliva freezes on his lips. He tries to scream, but it doesn't come out. Instead, it tears at his throat. 
11:15 PM. 
The howling of the wind drowned out any and all noise. He forces himself forward, but has only crawled about 80 feet. Icicles of saliva have formed under his lips, and his skin has fallen a pale bluish grey. The blood in his veins is alive, raging within, moving anywhere it can. But it will not live. He knows even as he claws himself back to the cleft, he will not survive. His vision blurs and sways, and if he could speak it would be mumbling. His movement's slow. 
Stage 3.
11:40 PM.
He blacked out. The wind is but an afterthought as Verin sits frozen in place. Facing the sky. He bears Min's laughter in his ears, Pon joking, Honrada's praise. Tears pour from his eyes as he watches Min play on the flat surface above, a smile on their face. The smile he fought for. He can't move, Min can't see his still body. His fingers stop moving and blood doesn't flow. 
'Live on without me. You don't need me. Survive.' He thinks as he watches Min, knowing that isn't them. That's his mind, his nerves and his sparking, dying brain. He watches as Pon pats their head and throws the ball back, and Vel reads in the corner, her eyes glancing up to see them play. This is all he wants for them. For all of them. Aspen sits inside, an elf again, though the home is full of hoarded trinkets. Edward owns a store and prepares for a journey. Squirrel, Swallow and Sparrow play in the trees. 
A good dream...
He cries for all that is beautiful and all that he wants. The happiness he could never give them. In these fading images, he is not there. Through the pain and the pressure squeezing the air out of his lungs, his lips curl into a smile. 
The wind stops, and the snow falls straight. Still. He feels his heart slow. His eyes look to the beautiful sky, colours spilling out like watercolours on a moving canvas. The smile on his face, pained and miserable though it is, was made with hope of a better life. It all stops, and either doesn't matter or makes sense. The snow perches on his head. He looks to the moon and the stars, an invisible fractal defining that lonely sky. It was him and the earth. He watches as the crescent moon opens like an eyelid and reveals the piercing eyes he remembers. And every star opens like an eye, every glowing dot a staring, glaring eye. He cannot stop smiling. 
"I'm so sorry…" He thinks, his last thought.
Verin slumps to the ground. 
12:00 PM. 
The snow swallows him. The cold ate his mind. The light in his eyes fade as the eyes in the sky glow the brightest. It all hurts. 
And he never stopped smiling as the earth and the eyes watched.

Hi Eff idk if you remember me, but I'm the one that did the artbreeder for some of your oc's. I absolutely adore your oc's so when I saw the opportunity to ask questions about your wip I jumped on the train as soon as possible. 👀👀🚉
What would you say is your oc's greatest fears are? Also I saw the kestrel art and I was blown away at how talented you are at drawing. Your art style is really beautiful and keeps getting better and better. Like iev scrolled through your art blog and your illustrations are just breathtaking like wow. If I wasn't a broke ass bitch I would definitely purchase some commissions for my ocs.💖
Staying on the topic of your wip what was your inspiration for you dragon wip and what would you say is the overarchimg message you hope to achieve with the book? Also will it be a standalone or a series?
Also I'm really curious about your vampire if. How is the process of writing an If going and I was wondering if you could give us a little sneak peak or tell us a bit more about the ROs and other characters because I'm dying to know more. 👀👀
OK last question I promise what's your process of writing such unique and multilayered oc's. Like your oc's just have this really unique aspect to them that makes them really likeable. All your oc's seem to have really cool personalities so I was wondering what your process behind creating them are. Do you discovery write them and shape them as you go throughout the story or do you outline them before starting?
Hope you have a good Christmas and that you and your family stay safe. 💕
How could I ever forget you, ArtBreeder anon, my beloved?
I was only recently thinking about you tbh! Wondering how you were doing, since I saw you deactivated your blog. Hope you're well!
Thank you for the sweet compliments about my art, I've been feeling pretty crap about it lately and it's nice to hear that it's not as bad as I fear it is. I'm hoping to have a period where I just practice my anatomy and color theory and all that jazz. Because my eye has evolved but my skills haven't.
I think Kestrel's greatest fear is being abandoned? But it's not like she'd break down if she was, she'd probably just finally start her descent into villainy. Like, "if nobody likes me or wants to be around me, then I'll retroactively justify their feelings by making their life a nightmare," ya know? It doesn't go that far and the story isn't rly about her corruption arc (she actually improves, a little bit), but that's basically it. As for Falk, I think he's afraid of failure. Hence why he doesn't try anything, he doesn't believe himself to be capable of success but he also doesn't want to disappoint anyone so he just kinda exists. It's a little sad tbh. I love creating pathetic men.
As for inspirations ... Hmm. I think I answered a similar question before? Yup, found it! On the topic of messages, I don't really write with messages or themes in mind? Those tend to come up naturally as I write and rewrite, but I always try to just tell a fun, engaging story, and people can take away from that what they will. Sorry if this is a disappointing answer, but I have never been someone who writes to say something. I like to entertain with my stories. If I've done that, then I've succeeded, in my book, even if it's not the deepest or most cerebral story in the world. This WIP in particular is just me having fun and hopefully the reader will have a good time, too!
Also, the dragon WIP will be a trilogy I think? It could possibly also be a duology. I don't want it to be too long and am trying to keep it on the shorter side, so even if it turns out to be a trilogy I don't expect any of the books to be chonkers.
About my IF ideas: I've currently put both on hold, mainly because I have so many writing projects already and creating an IF is a lot more difficult in terms of storytelling, coding, and audience expectations. That last one is probably the scariest part to me tbh, as an anxious people pleaser. Sorry if that's a disappointing answer :/ I can write up a separate post about my ideas for the vampire IF though, if you're interested! I do like the OCs I've came up with for it.
And on the topic of OCs: I tend to keep things pretty organic and fluid as I write. The way I build OCs is that I have a plot hook in mind, figure out what roles need to be filled, and then I throw some half-baked people at the roles and see how they interact. Most of my character creation happens in my mind, where I come up with scenarios in my head and see how the characters react. Then I figure out why they react that way, how someone else might react to that reaction, etc etc. I do prefer to have a relatively clear picture of the character in mind before I start writing, but it's only after a few rewrites that the character becomes their own. I think they have to interact with the world and the plot and surprise you a little bit as you write, that way you get a clearer picture of who they are. So it's a mix of both outlining and discovery!
Hope that answered your questions, and thank you for sending this ask! It's always great to hear from you! <3

Wings of Shadow is the last book in the Crown of Feathers trilogy. This trilogy is easily one of my favorites and with a still relatively new author, it's a beautiful series that shows promise and creativity and I can't wait to see what Nicki writes next. My greatest love in fantasy is dragon riders but I loved the idea of Phoenix riders. With a beautifully imagined world, interesting magic, a richly detailed history, and great characters, I cannot recommend this enough.
My non-spoiler review of it is: I LOVED IT!!! IT WAS SO GOOD. I LOVE A CHARACTER WHO COMES INTO THEIR OWN. I LOVE A RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BUILT ON TRUST AND COMMUNICATION. It's so good
So without further ado, I will be discussing Wings of Shadow so if you don't want to be spoiled, please scroll on.
I deeply loved both CoF and HoF, so stepping into this world was like coming home in the best way. The book picks up not too long after the end of Heart of Flames. Tristan is being held hostage, Sev is being a spy for the Phoenix riders, and Veronyka is finally out to the others as an Ashfire. And our vengeful antagonist, Avalkyra, is plotting to take everything and everyone down.
This book has quite a bit of politics in it but not so much that it bogs anything down. In the grand scheme of things, I'm honestly surprised more didn't happen in this book. This book is full of lots of planning and internal moments, and small movements. And yet it always feels like things are moving or you're enraptured by the character's pov.
Because the characters do really shine. Veronyka's growth has been the best in the series and it's so good to finally see her accept herself, her power, her role in a way that befits her. It's so nice to have a main character who isn't bratty or whiny, or snarky. Veronyka is kind. Brave. Good. It's refreshing. And I really liked that she would take the throne gladly for peace. And that when the time really came and she could have done something to "save" people, she didn't do the selfless thing. She said no because it was the best thing in the long run.
Tristan and Veronyka finally get properly together, and it's so nice. They love and respect and TRUST each other. I love a good relationship. And there's absolutely no "I must protect you" or even the slightest bit of jealousy of Tristan being less powerful or second to Veronyka. LOVE IT.
Despite all that Avalkyra has done, reading her chapters is still fun because she's so vicious and vengeful and powerful. She doesn't give up and her hatred and love warring against each other is interesting to read. I still don't hate her even though I hate what she's done and there's absolutely no way she could ever be redeemable.
The ending was really good and while I do dislike a long ass battle, it was engaging. Several times I choked up. Everything ended as well as I wanted it and I'm very pleased with it. I liked what happened after too.
Now, of course, I do have my gripes. Who am I without my slight complaining?
My first and biggest complaint honestly is that Veronyka still wanted to save Avalkyra, and didn't want to kill her. I do like the distinction that Veronyka said it wasn't that she could not, she was would not. However, that's still stupid to me. Some villains deserve to die. If things ended differently, Avalkyra would have burned everything and everyone to the ground. She shot to kill Veronyka. What she has done, did, and planned to do should have been enough to kill her. I hate that good guy doesn't kill trope. It's literally so stupid and the worst.
I really liked what happened because of what Veronyka did. The loss. I thought it was really unique and made the ending really impactful. And then it's practically reversed within pages and like... what was the point? It could have truly been a complete end of the Ashfire legacy. I get that ~technically a new legacy has started but I felt it was a little too cheap and made it too happy of an ending. Also like, Tristan's sad POV felt kind of unnecessary since we done knew Veronyka would be back!
So, I really loved Sev in CoF and HoF so imagine my surprise when his whining of not being good/useful and slight jealous made his chapters and himself as a character annoying!!!! Like come on, you've done so much! Get over yourself and your dumb insecurities (lol @ me take this advice). I am really happy with the end of his story though!
My last little complaint is I kind of dislike seeing the aftermath of a happy finished end. We get to see progress being made and the world changing. It's absolutely nice but like... i don't care? I can imagine them implementing changes to the world. I really don't need to read them. The book should have ended after the battle, but that's just my opinion.
All in all, this was an amazing sequel to an amazing trilogy!!

My Top 18 Favorite Movies, TV Shows and/or Cartoons of 2018 (in no particular order) Part Dos
10. She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
Tumblr media
Ignore the neckbeards who have nothing better to do, so they complain about reboots of cartoons from the quote on quote "golden age of animation, the 80's". She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is a really great show, that yes, is better than the original 80's show. It's able to create a more fun and engaging story, while also having a lot of memorable and likable characters. It also has a theme that I found very interesting, where the villains aren't born evil, they are just misled in the wrong direction and don't truly know wrong from right. It's quite a bold theme for the show. If there is a kind of big flaw, the animation is a little wonky. Some shots and scenes look great, while others are very easy to see where the animation mistakes are. That said, it's still a great show that takes advantage of all of it's fun and interesting characters, and brings them together in a new show that blows its predecessor out of the water. And yes, LGBT fans. It's very, very gay.
11. Spider-Man Into the Spider verse
Tumblr media
What a comeback story. Who would have thought that the studio that made the whole world of animation cry last year would end up making the best animated film of the year? But anyways, Spider-Man into the Spiderverse is not only able to live up to all the hype it's been getting for the past year, but it also blew our expectations away. First of all, it looks GORGEOUS. It's able to make a visual style that's not only very beautiful and interesting, but it also happens to create a loving tribute to the original medium of comic books. Second, they put just as much effort in the story as they did with the visuals, which is not only a very fun superhero film, but also manages to be a very engaging emotional story as well, with lots of fun, interesting and memorable characters as well. If there is something to say isn't perfect, I did notice at least one plot hole that left me a bit confused, and they kind of blew the wad for putting in a few too many characters, where, while fun and memorable, don't have that much screen time and don't leave as big of an impression as the main characters. But still, it's one of the year's best movies, so go watch it NOW!
12. Flcl Progressive and Alternative
The first anime I ever saw was FLCL. It was insane, had gorgeous animation, memorable characters and I loved every minute of it. Do its sequel series' live up to the original's legacy. Well, let me put it this way. I very much enjoyed both shows, equally too. I thought they were very fun shows, and their themes, while sometimes a little hit-and-miss, still got their points across, the new characters were very fun and memorable, and the action scenes were also animated very well. With all that said, they still don't hold a candle to the original show. But that's okay, because I imagine it'd be very hard to. I still think that both of these new shows were very good, and although not as great as the original FLCL, was still lots of fun, and somewhat worthy successors to one of the greatest animas of all time. I still recommend both, since they still were good in my opinion.
Tumblr media
13. Hilda
Tumblr media
Miss Gravity Falls and Over the Garden Wall? Then have I got the show for you. Hilda is a great show from Netflix that manages to capture the spirits of  both those shows, but also having its own identity and voice. One thing I appreciate about the show is that not only can it be calm and laid back in more character and establishing moments, but it also can be equally as exciting and fun for its more adventurous and action scenes. The characters are all very charming. Hilda is a free-spirited and adventurous young girl, but she's not a pushover or overly cheery either. Her friends both regular and supernatural, can sometimes fall into familiar tropes, but also are very fun and enjoyable to watch. (Alfie's my favorite). It's a great show to watch, especially on days you want to cozy up with a cup of hot liquids of some kind, and take it all in. It's a great show, and I highly recommend giving it a watch.
14. Christopher Robin
I missed Winnie the Pooh. Yes, an 18-year old male misses the adventures of a talking teddy bear. Deal with it. But anyways, for a while it seemed that Disney had somewhat given up on the bear with little brains, but they've given him another chance with this new film, but this time, mainly focusing on his human friend, Christopher Robin. One thing this movie gets right is the feeling of Winnie the Pooh. Pooh has never been known for incredibly convoluted stories, just mainly simple tales that it's colorful cast of characters can bounce off of, and this movie nails that feeling down. It's also close to the original cast of characters, since deviating away from their personalities would be considered a form of blasphemy. Also, the performances here are great too. Evan McGregor makes a surprisingly good Christopher Robin, Hayley Atwell is charming as his wife, the girl who played their daughter was pretty good too, and of course, our friends from the 100 Acre Woods are played very well by the new cast, especially the one and only Jim Cummings, the only modern voice for both Pooh and Tigger. Now it does have flaws, like the story is kind of the typical "Dad's too busy for the kids", and although I've grown to like it over time, but sometimes it got a little too dramatic for some scenes, and at time Christopher Robin himself came off a bit as whiny and unlikable in some scenes. With that said, it's very easy to see that the whole film is a big love letter to Winnie the Pooh. No, it's not the best movie of the year, Or anything like that, but if you want a nice, enjoyable and cute movie to watch, then Christopher Robin is the perfect film to watch.
Tumblr media
15. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Tumblr media
I'll break my rule just this once to include a video game here. Super Smash Bros Ultimate was the biggest game from Nintendo this holiday season, and boy did it deliver. The last Smash Bros. game, was lots of fun, with it bringing all of our favorite (popular) video game characters together for a huge brawl. This next one, takes it up to 11. One thing I walkways admired from the games is that it's not the world's most complicated fighter game, while also still being oodles of fun. Only one big flaw: no Waluigi. Nah, just kidding. It's a great game, and a great farewell to the world of Smash from it's director, Masahiro Sakurai.
16. The Dragon Prince
Tumblr media
Here's another show that didn't get that much attention on Netflix, The Dragon Prince. Made by the head writer from Avatar: The Last Airbender, and the creator of the Uncharted games, comes a massive fantasy epic focusing on the Battle between humans and fantasy creatures like elves and dragons. One thing I really love about this show is just how complex the characters and their morals are. It's a show that takes a lot of advantage from this theme. It's also filled with lots of fun, yet also very interesting characters. You will probably get attached to them by the end of the show, which may break some hearts too... But yeah, might as well address the elephant in the room, the animation. In fact, I do think that maybe the reason it didn't immediately catch on was because a lot of people were turned off by the animation style. But I still recommend it and ask that you give it a chance, because not only was it lots of fun, and very interesting, but the story and characters help redeem the animation, plus it does improve itself over time. Please, please, please give The Dragon Prince a chance, it's a great show.
17. Ralph Breaks the Internet
Don't worry. It's not another Emoji Movie. Ralph Breaks the Internet is not only a worthy successor to the original film, but it also manages to expand a lot on the heart from the original. This time, instead of arcade games, it plucks our characters into the Internet, and unlike the Emoji Movie, manages to make more clever and creative ideas while being on the Internet. And yeah, maybe the scene when Vanellope visits the Disney website might be Disney patting themselves on the back a little too hard, but it's still a very funny and enjoyable scene that also helps move the plot forward. But one thing the movie was amazing at was expanding on its characters and their development. It even manages to avoid the typical happy ending, which, without spoiling anything, actually makes a change in the characters lives. If there is a flaw, like I said, it's 10 times better than the Emoji Movie, but I will admit, between the cameos from Youtubers and the one scene where Ralph becomes a meme, did kind of make me roll my eyes, but thankfully, unlike the Emoji movie, it doesn't dwell too much on these scenes all that much, and knows when to move the plot forward in the right direction. I still say it's a worthy sequel that's worth your time.

Also, Yesss is my new waifu.
18. Mary Poppins Returns
Tumblr media
Here's one of the few live-action Disney films in recent years, I feel are very worthy to the legacy of their original film. Mary Poppins Returns is just a complete and utter joy of a film, not unlike the original classic. The performance of Emily Blunt as the titular nanny is a worthy successor the original by Julie Andrews, and character in general. Lin Manuel-Miranda not only does a great job in continuing the spirit of Dick Van Dyke from the first film, but also in writing a plethora of great songs that are amazingly performed and choreographed by the cast, while also giving tribute to the Sherman Brother's original songs. Even the kids, who I kind expected to get on my nerves, are actually pretty likable and fun, and are given, eh passable performances by their actors and actress. The animation sequence brought a tear to my eye, not only because it was lots of fun, but because I'm just happy to beautiful 2D Disney animation on the big screen again. If there is some flaws, yeah, the story is yet another Dad needs to spend more time with kids plot again, and it does bring some more action/suspenseful moments that I don't feel are completely in spirit to the original film's more laid back tone. But regardless, it's an overall great and very charming new film from Disney, and although I would like them to try doing some more original stuff with their live-action movies, I hope can keep the spirit of both this film,and a lot of the classic live-action Disney movies (like the original Mary Poppins, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Treasure Island, Darby O' Gill, Swiss Family Robinson and some others you guys probably never heard of).
So that's about it. Thank you all for sticking around listening to me talk about all these Movies and TV shows are worth remembering from this year, and there's a lot I'm excited for next year, and I hope that this next year can be an improvement, with more kindness and joy from the world and from people. Yeah, it's wishful thinking, but it's not a bad wish to have. Thank you all for supporting this page for the last year,and I'LL see ya in 2019!

WHAT THE HELL YOU SAY?? If you ascribe to the Lord's precept upon the precept's way of interpreting scripture livelihood you can conquer that 3 headed demon. 1 John 2:16 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. Not too many of us have overcome these stalagmite sized thorn's so it gives reason to say that no one has truly overcome the world except those who've made it to the Kingdome. You gotta die in order to live. That's what they've been telling us since they enslaved us while they lived off of the fat of the lamb right here on Earth. It doesn't pain me to witness learned men of the Bible speak improbable things that aren't in accordance with the calling to be entrusted as a shepherd. Esau has found it upon himself to place his doctrine before God’s word. When your spiritual leaders become lovers of money it doesn't bode well for the parishioners of your Church that looks more like a cult whom Reverend No Good is playing with their financial contributions like it was 3 card monte every Sunday. I've not been corrupted with wealth by way of Mammon which has corrupted many in the Black clergy that in due time will make some believe they're God. That's cray cray. The Evangelical Rights vision of an all white Christian, Denomination Nation is being subjected to the scrutiny of every Black man who historically followed the teachings of their overseers. The people who have misled, and hated us no longer have a cover for their miscalculated deception to fall back on. In the eyes of God it was good for men to be revealed for their love of things that are temporal which have no worth, or meaningful value in the order of things. If the Kingdome has streets paved with gold, and we walk on them with our feet, what meaning taken from this premise that God has spelled out for Israel, and the gentile can you determine? 1 John 4:1-6 4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. The Spirit of Truth isn't what or who you believe it to be. God uses men to speak to His lost people yea though this Prophet’s in need of psychotherapy. I bear the burden of Israel's hatred, and frustration towards the God of Israel assuredly. But you as well as I must stand before the Lord God on the Day of Judgment to see if heaven will become our new address? This Nation has hated God's people much longer than the date of my birth, way before the mystery of God was revealed 3-4 generations ago in this day and time. The people of Edom have been trying to eliminate God's people off the Earth for the past 3 thousand years without actually thinking to themselves how can they maintain this planet without God behind this for we are not His people? Does the colloquial term biting off your nose to spite your face mean anything to you? If so, apply it right here. They’ve tried to destroy God's people, and they’re not wholly convinced that a man of questionable intelligence who's a case for Milledgeville; “Beyond the Tuskegee Experiment,” is the one chosen for such a hefty task? Have you seen pix of 45 walking through the white House with feces dripping from his Depends as though that crap was normal? I rest my case. I've questioned everything under the sun. The answer always goes
back to the Father. Esau, and his children have destroyed more Civilizations than they've built PERIOD!!! The Egyptians, and the Sumerians gave you astronomy, math, and languages, you still can't figure out how the Egyptians constructed the Pyramids of Giza. My God's people (Indigenous Blacks) invented the cotton gin which was a blessing to us in building, and establishing this global economy for your people. We invented the automobile, the telephone, the major component for the illuminating light bulb, the modern computer, including the internet. We invented the first Central Air and Heating unit. You stole everything from us, and after these brilliant men, and women passed, you kept all rights, and patents to their ingenuity, even if some of them were slaves this should've stayed in their family as generational wealth, and you refuse to even make us an offer of reparations which would be a slap in our face. trump did succeed in his greatest accomplishment. The destruction of Western Civilization as we all know it. I pity you not. Jeremiah 14:14 14 Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. 1 Timothy 6:17-19 17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. You had Evangelical pastors losing it over the presidential election of 2020 who went out on a limb for a man whose broken all ten of the Ten Commandments including murder. Whattup Jeffrey Epstein?!! They openly supported an orange hobbit who brought down the house of Esau with their support. Paula white beat her hands so hard that night calling on the god of aboo daboo to bring the fallen angels from Africa on Mount Hermon to fight the battle to prolong WS; WTF?!! I saw a bevy of false prophets ministering in the name of white Jesus who lied saying God spoke to them in a dream Himself personally, declaring that trump would serve a 2nd term, and sit in the oval office again with his cronies while Rome finished burning to the ground. Biden who's just as racist as Bull Connor, but for the sake of political correctness we’ll call him a left wing, conservative moderate. Add it all up, and these people are gonna hate us forever. Yeshua is coming back for Israel; let us get that point across. You will have some of those who will cleave unto the house of Judah that's Israel who will enter New Jerusalem. But, this doesn't bode well for the majority of Edom or Israel. Only a remnant of the remnant shall enter into His glory that is Israel. All of those people who look like us, you know, they're our skinfolk, but they wouldn't accept an invitation to a family reunion unless the Grand Dragon of the kkk showed up dripping with the blood of twelve Black servicemen after your first cousin who's about 6 feet 2 damn B i i i i i G beat him to within an ounce of Jack Daniels proving that a retarded 9yr old with a degree in I hate Bubba can do all things through my doctor who prescribes me 200 grams of Crack. The high profile, low down political pundits, and elected officials who sell us out when the opportunity presents itself, are not Israel. These are the people who are getting paid filthy lucre to walk confederate with those that seek our blood. Some people have trouble sleeping because their job calls for them to prosecute their people unfairly as District Attorney’s. You have a conundrum to deal with, call on Maaco. You can be as Daniel Cameron desires, hoping to become what Kamala Harris has become with even higher aspirations or walk away from your white bread world, and your white zaddy, saving your soul in the process. Believe it or
not God gave me a conscience that's why He has told me to GET OUT!!! Or else. For those who heed these words which are straight interpretations from the Bible, walking with God beats running with the devil of which the remnant will see a reward. Isaiah 28:5 5 In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people. If Yeshua wasn't full of grace and mercy, willing to sacrifice Himself for a greater reward that is His Father’s inheritance; the Jew, and the other gentiles would suffer more so had He not been ransom for Israel, and their souls. As I mentioned, Esau, and Jacob are forever at odds. Jacob's not the problem. God has seen fit for some of Esau who are not of Edom, but walk in line with the Fathers people that will enter into His good graces along with Jacob who's the beginning, Esau’s the end. 2 Esdras 6:9 9 Now Esau is the end of this age, and Jacob is the beginning of the age that follows. If the minority who are the people of the caucasus mountains cant get along with this amount of Black people on Earth today, you're not Kingdome ready. Jacob's future is bright, and the angels in heaven are Dark Black. Balsamic Black. You must question yourselves, and be truthful. do you believe you're of the chosen elect? Forget I even asked. Romans 11:1-5 11 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying, 3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. 5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. Life's cruelties has taught me not to trust anyone, almost giving up on humanity save the Son of man who is my Savior, and even He has led me into stony, dry places because of my hardened heart that cannot keep thoughts to itself or maintain a compassionate level of human kindness. If this were 1961, and God chose someone with a sane mind he would've been dead before they blew out the 13th candle on his birthday cake. That's the psychosis of Edomites. The remnant doesn’t consist of Israel only, they happen to be the major portion. God will bless those who pass the test that is Tribulation with a robe of white, and a diadem of gold. Don't expect your favorite tele evangelical pastor who supported trump to walk into the Kingdome unless he has an epiphany of the truth that is Yeshua. Many men of Jacob will teach you whereas you've taught us about our history while revising its truth, and reinventing yourselves based on your fallacies which denigrates you because it's based on our legacy, and heritage. Everything we've done here on Earth is chronicled in the heavens, with no stone left unturned. To the detriment of a baseless people who seek to exalt themselves over God's truths this is what the truth has boiled down to. It ain't in ya. Yet some of the gentiles will enter the Kingdome of heaven without ever having to face abuse, persecution, death, pain, fear, or sickness and disease ever again. When God told Abraham that all nations and families of the Earth would be blessed through his loins this was one of the blessings in the case of the gentiles he made conclusive because Abraham was faithful though Sarah's womb was barren, and he had not the strength to conceive a child in his old age, so he thought. Romans 11:21-26 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God
is able to graft them in again. 24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into
their own olive tree? 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. The comforters in need of some Alka-Seltzer or Maalox. If you heed the teachings of Jesse Duplantis who teaches a Christian doctrine, that's a man made religion, based on a Hebrew Bible about Israelite people that the world refuses to acknowledge we are God's people not the squatters over in the Middle East which geographically is another fabrication like the size of Alkebulan that dwarfs all other land masses. Ain't nothing changed. Pat Robertson, Joyce Meyer, Rick Warren, Franklin Graham who supports Africa, and its people who are in need, yet is a staunch supporter of trump, and his all but dead lawless administration that's brought about the collapse of the Western hierarchy; makes him look schizophrenic. He could have a stake in the Motherland, and he's watching after his, our investment you tell me, but something's not adding up. I have an Apostle who I trust to a degree more so than members of my natural family which isn't a good look for Gomez, and the rest of the Adams Family. Israel is a forgiving people, because God is in them. I didn't include myself for reasons you'll find out by this time tomorrow as soon as I find the reasoning behind this façade of illusive illusions the world's trying to catch, and I'm trying to outrun called reality. Chase me down with a bag full of Bacon Cheeseburgers, and blow me a kiss before I eat from Frechelle’s goody bag. This is where I leave my computer. My senility is showing, and it looks like the ugliest dog in the pound entered in the Ms. America contest. Good morning. 10/1/2021
