In here i will be explaining the setting of the story, and some background.

Planet info and goddess info :

in lost dreams the people of earth moved to a new planet, called Elora. The planet is named Elora because of the goddess of spring, the most respected god, Elira. Elira was the one who created nature on the planet, kind of like mother nature on earth. In the current timeline of the story, Elira fell in love with a human and created another goddess who i will explain later. She is also the creator of the Flora people, a race of humanoid flowers.

Setting of story:

new shore city is located somewhere in Elora called Spring valley, where the goddess of spring is worshiped the most. Spring valley is mostly country, with very few city's, which are very rural, including its capital New shore city, where blood relatives of the Goddess Elira live.

🇵🇸 From BDS:

This year’s Israeli Apartheid Week will be the most important since IAW was launched 20 years ago! With the ongoing Nakba at its height, Israel is carrying out the world’s first ever live-streamed genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza while it continues to entrench its 75-year-old settler-colonial apartheid regime against all Indigenous Palestinians. Over the past few months, people around the world have carried out inspiring actions building people power to end state, corporate and institutional complicity in Israel’s #GazaGenocide and contribute to the Palestinian struggle for freedom, justice, and equality. With the failure of the international system, under US and Western hegemony, on full display, we will organize IAW throughout the month of March to bring justice from below. Save the date - March 1st - March 30th; an entire month of action and BDS mobilizations to end complicity in genocide, build grassroots power towards liberation and the dismantling of Israel’s settler-colonial apartheid regime. Let’s make this year’s IAW our most impactful ever!

In anticipation of the upcoming Israeli Apartheid Week, BDS has called for an escalation of our boycott campaigns.

To find out how you can join a specific BDS campaign, or how you can contribute towards IAW, you can use the search function on their website to find a BDS-affiliated organization in your country.

If you and your organization have an event planned for Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW), you can register them with BDS here.

🇵🇸 For individuals unaffiliated with an org, you can still support and participate in IAW by:

Boycotting all products from Israel and from companies profiting off the occupation of Palestine. Here are the official BDS targets. For a more extensive list of products, check in with one of the BDS affiliated organizations in your country (they might tell you, for instance, what processed food items at your local grocery store should be avoided).

Share information about BDS on social media, with friends and family, and with your local community.

For BDS targeted brands, refrain from making or sharing any content that helps that company's outreach and branding. No more memes mentioning the brand, no pictures showing their logo, no more free advertising. Boycotting here isn't just about the loss you as a costumer can inflict on the company by not purchasing their product, it's also about damaging the brand's reputation, and limiting their customer outreach.

I highly encourage you to join a BDS-affiliated org, but if for whatever reason you can't, then these are concrete and actionable steps you can take.

Again, for more information about BDS and Israeli Apartheid Week, you check in with the official BDS website.

#free palestine #palestine #israel #gaza #bds #boycott divest sanction #i'll set this up to be queued throughout feb/mar #and i'll also be sharing more BDS info/campaigns on this blog

Lifespan (accessible vers.)

Have you read the Premise of his sandbox already? The basic Setting Info? If not, please click here! You should read them first!

Since the Great Reveal, Humans have developed expanded lifespans. This is believed to be due to acute exposure to magic in high concentrations during the events. Following a short period of illness, most found themselves with additional resistances to certain disease types and ailments; healing and recovery of physical injuries and ailments, by comparison, take less time. The improved resilience alone immediately opened up new medical possibilities in terms of treatement and surviveability for those already suffering from conditions, disorders and other afflictions caused by changes in the body.

In general, Humans now live approximately twice as long on average.

Extended lifespan puts Humans on par with many other creatures in society, and has profoundly affected quality of life in areas like education, career possibilities, and family; as well as other areas of societal structure and foundation.

Here is a list of some races and their general lifespan averages, for comparison. This data is still in the early stages of assessment, and considered to be skewed greatly due to lack of official documentation and much of the evidence being currently unverifiable. The ranges listed here all considered to be approximate.

In Years

Humans: 170-180

Demons (across many types): 250-500

Elves: 500-700

Vampire: N/A; there are few records for how long certain vampires have lived, or their causes of death

Orcs: 250

Dragons: 500+

Naga: 800

Fae: N/A; not much is known about the lifespan of Fae. There also seems to be a large difference between the handful of Fae who decided to stay behind after The Great Reveal, and those visiting from beyond the Veil.

"Chimera-Types" (Harpies, -taurs, Satyrs, Kelpies, Sirens, Kitsune, etc.): 700

Most other creatures hover at lifespans between 200-400 years **NOTE: There are direct correlations between magical potency and rate of reproduction, as well as lifespan and rate of reproduction. Races that tend to live longer have very low rates of reproduction outside of medical assistance, which is heavily regulated.

Hello! Honoring the call for a global strike, from now (24/01/2024) until the end of this week (6AM Monday 29/01/2024, Hanoi/Jakarta time (GMT+7)) I am offering one full-body sketch of any character you want for every e-sim you donate.

All you need to do is:

go to gazaesims.com

follow the instruction there and donate an e-sim of any plan

screenshot the confirmation of your purchase and donation

send the screenshots to me via either email ([email protected]) or Tumblr DM, along with the character you want a sketch of and any references you have on hand.

Standard commission/request guideline applied. I'll run streams in the next four days (and perhaps after as well) on Youtube doing these sketches live - those will be announced on this blog as they happen.

I'm not currently affiliated with the Cartoonist Cooperative or any other artists doing the same drive, but if my art's not what you're looking for, definitely give the Coop's site as well as the e-sim tag on Tumblr a look! And if you're not looking for sketch commissions from me or art commission in general at the moment, I encourage you to donate an e-sim anyway if possible.

Thank you for your work and support - I can't wait to draw your character!

#bakuspecial #gaza esims #e sims #commission info #I've been wanting to buy an e-sim myself but. my current credit card is Extremely weird #it does not register as either an ATM card or a VISA card when I do online purchases. and I need a VISA card for this from where I am #so hey! if you're looking to commission me for something like this anyway #then for this week we can put the money towards an urgent cause #I am sadly otherwise extremely low on energy nowadays. so my comm bouts are few and far inbetween #but while I have the energy I very much want to do this #I'll need to set up some admin stuff for the streams and for checking the donations. but I can do it #have a good day guys! you know where I stand on the matter as an inhabitant of a country deeply wounded by colonialism & imperialism #I'm glad to be able to add my effort. from the river to the sea!

i’ve had this idea floating around in my head for a bit so i wanted to see how interested people are with actually purchasing a physical version of the charm or stickers!

No one ever talks about the fact that Elle Greenaway, Aaron Hotchner, and Spencer Reid all lived at the same apartment complex, The Langham.

We see Elle leaving her apartment when Hotch is following her in 2x6 - maybe that is where he learned about the apartment complex. We can also see Elle getting into her car, which has Virginia plates, so we know this apartment complex is in Virginia - not D.C.

In 5x1, we see Emily go to Hotch's apartment to check on him. This is also when we learn that Hotch is on the first floor in apartment 121. We later see him in this same apartment with Jack and Beth in 7x23 and when he is arrested in 11x22, just to name a few.

We see the outside of Spencer's apartment in 9x24 when Alex goes to leave after taking Spencer home. Spencer looks outside and watches Alex get into a taxi. We can see part of the green canopy and the street when Alex walks, but we can also see Spencer standing at the window. The window matches the same windows on The Langham. We can even see a spot on the sidewalk where the street lamp used to be. This is also when we learn that Spencer is on the second floor, apartment 23.

In 1x22, we see Elle be attacked in her home - not an apartment - meaning she moved into Langham apartments after her attack.

Up until Hotch was divorced, he lived in his home in Arlington, Virginia with Haley and Jack - so we know he moved into the complex sometime around season three or four.

We didn't see Spencer's apartment until season eight but we know in 3x2 that Spencer's Volvo has Washington D.C. plates but when we see his car again in 10x13, he had Virginia plates. We can assume that means that Spencer moved from Washington D.C. to the Langham apartments in Virginia at some point between season three and season eight.

Meaning, Elle lived in the Langham apartments before Hotch and Spencer - but Hotch and Spencer lived there only one floor apart at the same time.

#criminal minds #spencer reid #aaron hotchner #elle greenaway #hotchreid #because come on they lived in the same apartment building #long post #idk what to even tag this info dump #criminal minds info dump #the last photo of the building I got from google images with the time set to 2011 #fun fact #the building is in LA Cali #and if you look at it in street view through the different years you can see film crew people around it #not CM film people but just other people using the building #it also changes names sometimes to match what the people filming want to see #but it is more fun to think of them as lowkey roomies #criminal minds facts

🐱 Nightwing #110 rambling AKA wailing about how Dick and Jon love Damian

backtracking to 2 weeks ago in Titans #6 for a sec when Dick expressed how he wanted to look for Damian - it was nice to get a nod of Dick being concerned, but i was a bit bummed he didn't start a search. and i get it, the world needs saving, Dick's gotta do what he has to!!

different writer/story, but this line popped into my head the moment Babs said Earth needs the Titans

Damian means the world to Dick!! the Titans can take care of the literal world without him for a bit!!

but ykw it's fine since this issue proved me wrong, and Dick looks for Damian anyway!! 😭 basically "the world's still in danger but my brother needs me right now" this was just the start of the issue and i fell to my knees THEY BOTH REALLY DROPPED EVERYTHING FOR DAMIAN

the part where they plan to wait out Damian's match was so funny to me because Dick keeps repeating to Jon that they shouldn't engage, but then Dick just goes "NEVERMIND i'm going in" 😭 he couldn't stand watching Damian be hurt anymore i'm weeping

with context this is actually so sad for Damian orz otherwise i just wanted to say i love these drawings!! it's just a really cool page to me - i love the posing, especially in the hands/claws!! the intense expressions!! also so efficient in showing how the match escalates with Damian quickly overpowering Gail (along with seeing Jon's dread 🙁)

THEY WERE SO WORRIED ABOUT WHAT THIS WOULD DO TO DAMIAN 😭

just more panels of Dick and Jon worrying over Damian :')

DYNAMIC DUO 2.0!! and ofc they have a dramatic entrance haha

HEAD IN MY HANDS...CRYING... i'm assuming Damian's hands are still supposed to be covered in blood since the first thing he thinks about when he returns to being human is what he had done without his control. and this bothers him to the end of the issue 😭 (HIS EXPRESSIONS EVEN WITH THE MASK ON 😭)

not sure if it's intentional, but Dick's speech to Damian in B:WFA ep 113 is kinda brought to canon here through both Dick and Jon

this was a sleep deprived reactionary rambling, so not much thought is left in my head lol i was hoping for some cute cat Damian shenanigans, but i'll happily take Dick and Jon being protective over Damian! 🥺

one last duo pic for the road :)

#rambling #i have a b&r 5 ramble sitting in my drafts but I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR DUO CRUMBS SO I HAD TO YELL NOW #this made me curious about dc's copywriters bc what info do they get for some of their summaries to be so different from the actual issue #this wasn't set in Bludhaven nor was there any risk to Gotham OR the Super Sons relationship so. what do the copywriters work with.#hype and vibes alone??#maybe i'm overthinking it but i wonder if there were delays with the art or late changes made to the script/issue...?#Basri's inks are only in the first pages with Apex Ava and likely his pencils for the rest with Cifuentes as inker/finishes #what happened here...maybe he just needed to get moving to the other Nightwing issues...who knows...

Setting Info (accessible ver.)

[IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN KNOWING MORE ABOUT WHAT LIFE IN THIS UNIVERSE IS LIKE, THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE! WHAT YOU'LL FIND BELOW ARE DESCRIPTIONS OF THINGS PEOPLE ARE USED TO SEEING AND INTERACTING WITH IN THIS SETTING.]

Every Day Life

a summary

Obviously, culture is different across locations and people, but this is going to be a broad stroke sort of description centered mostly on the Big City that is the main focus of the sandbox. For a more in-depth look at "other places" and general culture, feel free to click the links at the end of each section below.

OVERVIEW

Day to day life for most is a mix of technology and magic present in almost every major city and accessible when interacting with public-facing tools and inventions even if not owned privately. Interactive holograms, clothing and material charmed for durability (or simply made of more durable materials) abound, though some come with a cost that isn't always accessible. Potions are regulated in a similar manner to medicine depending on the effect. Generally, financial class can be determined by where a person lives and the degree to which technology is present in their private life. Magical ability also plays into personal comfort, as sometimes capability with magic can make up for more expensive comforts in one-off circumstances.

Most of the persisting world infrastructure is modeled on pre-existing Human standards, though some things are augmented to take into account changes resulting from the The Great Reveal (what people call the event involving the merging of planes and large influx of magic and magical creatures to Earth in 2014). The event was not altogther a peaceful one, and there was systemic damage to cities and civilized areas that had to be rebuilt. Many major cities are unrecognizable from previous skylines. There are new islands, fault lines, mountain ranges, and some ecosystems have been forever altered for both better and worse due to the influx of magic and its effect on the earth. There are many locations that have still not been explored to the fullest, even if the most threatening dangers have been subdued; doing so is quite a lucrative (albeit risky) career path.

In general, buildings and locations are human-sized; more often than not, non-humans Glamour themselves when out and about for the convenience of others (certain body heights and shapes are outlawed in public, for example). This goes doubly or triply for slaves while out in public. There are some locations, districts, neighborhoods and grounds that are large and/or cater to the natural sizes of some creatures, such as demons and weres (those with 'blood curses'), but they and their perimeters are clearly marked and cost is certainly a factor in occupying these coveted spaces. It's very expensive to commission a building for these purposes, so many of these places are leisure resorts or businesses that cater to peoples of specific race or culture, to boast comfort and accomodation. (However, there are regulated limits for these as well, depending on certain factors like occupancy numbers, potential for collateral damage, etc.). While there are exceptions for calamitous events and self-defense, the cases in which someone could get away with this (especially in a public space) is extremely rare.

Due to the influx of population of other races and peoples to Earth during The Great Reveal, cities often have "Upper Levels" or "Islands" added to them to accommodate more people. These are floating districts that are akin to suburbs; they house some of modern architecture of the age in the form of homes, apartments, parks and office building. The style of these buildings are more modular and glossy. Actually owning real estate is a matter of wealth or extraordinary luck, and owning a home rather than staying in a massive apartment building is a slightly lesser flex.

Slaves and services rendered by them (under the eye of watchful masters) are pervasive, especially in the upper and lower most echelons of society. They are a class defined (using that term loosely) by four circumstances: 1) those captured during The Great Reveal, proven to have had intent to cause harm to the planet and its citizens during that time, 2) off-spring of those creatures, 3) those who "agree" to enter and be registered as slave status voluntarily, (unfortunately, this often includes children whose parents or guardians abandon or sell them), and 4) unprotected illegals; for these reasons, it's fairly rare to see Humans sold or traded on the market. They represent amassed wealth at least and are symbols of status at most. The acquisition and distribution of them are regulated, though not much else is (regarding personal treatment). Many fill service jobs and service families and estates, and usually regarded as an invisible part of the backdrop of life. They are a very controversial topic, of course, and they deserve their own post. It should be noted however, that worldwide, slavery systems are sometimes coded differently socially, and occasionally this causes culture clashes.

There's no shortage of vices to be found, of course, and the integration of magic and tech has been the catalyst for some interesting engineering with just about anything that can be imbibed. Clubs are lucrative, especially for elitist Masters who want to mingle with like-minded people and drown themselves in decadence while they flaunt their status. It's possible to find ones for any sort of theme or vibe. Some leisurely retreats are in fact segregated depending on the services that they offer, as there are some intoxicants that are either too potent or deadly for Humans to consume.

why “the Winchesters” feels like fanfiction

I don’t mean this in a negative way but it feels like fic and here’s why:

Mary, John, Carlos, Lata, and Ada (and others to an extent) are 100% found family and an actual ensemble. in Supernatural, family didn’t end in blood but the brothers were the Main Characters and they’d known Bobby since before the start of the show. in the Winchesters, everyone who is working together is doing it because they choose to, and while everyone but John has history together, they fall into a TV Show Ensemble Cast immediately and John’s newness persists only for exposition purposes

because they’re all choosing to work together, they’re all nice to each other, give each other the benefit of the doubt, and generally assume everyone has the same goals and wants to be there and is doing the work

even though it’s the 70s and they don’t have cell phones, they use CB radios, pay phones, and walkies to constantly keep each other updated. the capacity to communicate is almost never an impediment. even when Carlos is trapped in a shadow dimension and Lata is in the house, they can hear each other yelling!

the main group doesn’t hide info from each other. sure, John and Mary briefly attempt to hide their relationship, and Lata has a Deep Dark Secret she hasn’t told anyone before she put on the bracelet. but when it comes to hunting, they are all info all the time. Ada even shares the risk to her soul! can you imagine someone volunteering that on SPN?! even John’s mom knows about the Akreda and doesn’t for a moment think it’s at all possible John is a murderer! I guess this one is more fanon-vibe than fic, lots of fics are based on people withholding crucial info, but the “SPN but with healthier communication” thing is such a fandom concept

Dean hates that he died

someone actually puts in a Led Zeppelin tape and it plays Led Zeppelin

the Impala is a CARDIS

John Winchester decides to get therapy

JOHN WINCHESTER DECIDES TO GET THERAPY

#the winchesters #spnwin #the winchesters spoilers #spoilers #spnwin spoilers #supernatural #spn #they could've so easily (and lazily) used the 'oh they don't have cell phones' thing as an excuse for all kinds of bs #but the only times people are unreachable is when they'd be unreachable in a contemporary setting too!#also I know there are plenty of times people shared similar kinds of info on SPN to some extent #like yes s5 Dean knew the plan was for Sam to say Yes etc #but it never felt as voluntarily offered as it doesn on the winchesters #PS: I did not pay close attention to the Winchesters to be honest #I was cleaning while I watched it and I read half a romance novel while watching it

the continuous focus on birds and birdsong in monstrous regiment is one of my fave bits just because we know the only reason polly has all that background knowledge is bc of paul. and even when she has that moment of not wanting to admit that she wants to get paul back partially for selfish reasons she was still the person in his life that paid attention enough to remember everything he loved/knew about birds lol. he's not really haunting the narrative he's just kind of chilling back there but ANYWAY lol polly perks could do antigone

#whenever theyre in a new location polly is always letting some bird info into her description of the setting and its just bc of paul #monstrous regiment #like. that's her brother. the birdsong footnote is funny but thats her BROTHER and she cared enough to be able to identify birds from a #great distance that weren't even native to their country so um that's thee manifestation of weird sibling bonds #the line about the colored pencils is soooo crazy. someone got him some colored pencils and she will love them 4ever #discworld #polly perks #gnu terry pratchett #paul perks #im so tired post diwali workday is killing me but im playing the events of mr behind my eyelids during meetings
