Witch Engine (Monster)

(Witch Engine by Kev Walker)

(Hey, I'm back for the time being! Sorry about my unannounced, impromptu hiatus- the simple fact is I live with ADHD, and my attention tends to wander. This is an attempt to get myself back on track, but I make no promises.

As for the witch engine herself- what an iconic creature! They've only got the one card, but they appear in the background of art in cards to represent Phyrexia's spread. With such a great design and a great name, I HAD to make these important to my Phyrexia.)

Witch engines are the hands of phyrexia, overseeing much of its ingress into other worlds directly. Indeed, most worlds touched by Phyrexia will know witch engines as the highest power therein, as a trio of these artificial horrors can orchestrate a planetary-scale infiltration and invasion with minimal guidance. But a witch engine is more than just a leader; she is a deadly weapon, capable of shredding through armies with a combination of necrotic magic and her own deadly whirling claws.

Because witch engines are required to organize a phyrexian assault and react to new planets' unique challenges, they are among the most independent and intelligent of phyrexians- each witch engine has its own personality matrix, with different engines being more cautious, curious, or patient than others. Each planetary invasion force is led by three such differing personalities, and each takes the others' opinion- as well as information from the current invasion- to arrive at the best plan of attack.

A witch engine typically keeps a skirge as a familiar, although other familiars with the Phyrexian template are not unheard of.

jean twerked for annabelle and she threatened to brutally kill both of them

marcos super respectful and is always like "the dress you have in this picture is just lovely" and jeans like "first of all...youuurrreee nothing but a trashy hoe." and then gets surprised when the ghost targets him

marco fell through a haunted bar's roof and started singing "the lord is my shepherd" and jean stopped himself mid rescue to laugh

a rumor got started that marco was actually dead and a ghost and there is now a national funeral day for marco in the "Jean & Marco V.S. The Paranormal" fandom

Hange: "Science Rulez"

an account purely for middle school science teachers

theyre an actual scientist not just a youtuber but on their off days because they love their job so much they'll do tiny little videos

they are VERY passionate about teaching biology in schools

they have pet turtles and ferrets that they heavily feature and call them their "assistants" (moblit has a "hey, im right here!" voice bite that they usually play)

moblit is their begrudging camera and light man because he just wants to be able to go on vacation with them on their time off

hange covers EVERYTHING from astronomy to fucking quantum physics and always gets comments about how they changed students whole grades and they ALWAYS respond and/or like

The Heart of the Lioness: ☽⋆29⋆☾

Souls be Damned

The Heart of the Lioness Masterlist

Previous Part

Every nerve, muscle, tendon and ligament in her body hurt as she propelled herself to run faster. Further. Sweat clung to every inch of her skin, the clothes were snug across her whole frame. She kept going, not stopping as she raced through the courtyard, pumping her arms to sprint that final few feet,

Brielle needed to build back every muscle that had diminished, going back to base one if she had to. She was going to keep fighting. The females voice run deep within her, roaring out a yell Brielle finally slowed to a jogging pace before stopping at the steps of the palace.

Resting forward, supporting her hands atop her knees Brielle panted out, blinking past the mist of emotion which had driven her to keep running. She had awoken this morning with a similar flashback from the city she had long since left behind, almost eighty years to the day and still the event of Vallen haunted her.

The scars littering her flesh screamed in protest when she began to stretch out her muscles, releasing the build up energy inside them.

There was a clapping from above her, rising up Brielle scanned the area, the clapping continued. She swiveled to watch Cairn approach, descending the steps of the castle at a leisurely pace, Isaiah behind him.

"Is the Kitty enjoying her freedom?" Cairn crooned, slowing in his strides towards her,

Brielle tried to still her hammering heart, the adrenaline coursing through every vein under the skin. At her side, she couldn't help the twitch of her finger to draw the dagger from her hip, Cairn pouted an expression that looked so out of place on his demeanour that Brielle nearly grabbed the blade in that second from pure discomfort alone.

"It's a pity your friends can't join you today." Cairn stopped at her side, inches from touching her body, a hand coming up to curl a strand of her hair around his finger, letting it drop to her shoulder he met her stare "I however will be keeping them company of course"

The sincerity of his tone, made her want to throw a punch in his direction, but Cairn sensing the rise of her power in the air around them, continue to prowl around her. Isaiah didn't meet her eyes as he followed past. Their presence fading into the distance.

Brielle took a hanging second to breath through the power that erupted in response to answer her anger. She needed to keep her shit intact, need to keep calm. If Cairn reported back to Maeve of any misdemeanour, Brielle didn't want to think of what she might be made to do next.

As she mounted the steps to the palace entrance Brielle couldn't help but worry for her friends, locked up right below her feet. What might Aelin do if their positions were switched?

Swallowing guilt never got any easier no matter how old she became. Perhaps she should simply kill Cairn and Maeve, the gods only knew she could do it.

but the timing wasn't right. All the planning would go to waste if Brielle killed them now. She had to wait.

☽⋆❈⋆☾

The air around their small camp was cool, tucked into a pocket of the woods Teyra sat sharpening the tip of her daggers, laying them across a felt in an organised line of size order.

The group had spent over a month travelling, interrogating commanders from Maeve's rank. Nothing had eased the guilt nagging deep in her gut. She had helped the males while Elide watched, Brielle had trained them to read between the lines of a person's body language, unspoken secrets were always the most difficult to obtain, but not impossible. Brielle had ensured they knew how to tell the difference.

At the memory of her friend, her chest seized. Not just for Brielle but for the others as well. They had to see to it that Brielle's letter was adhered to, so Teyra was the only available spy to travel in this group in search of The Queen and their Lioness.

Alexi and Vale had ventured with the Thirteen in their search for the long lost Crochan Witches. Whilst Merle had gone up to Terrasen with Aedion, Lysandra and the Allies Aelin had called upon.

She hadn't heard from any other members of the Pride, and she didn't even want to think of Isaiah, she hadn't slept right since watching him stab Brielle, she sat up now because of that fact. Couldn't close her eyes. Note as the image of Brielle succumbing to the pain that crimpled her, Teyra could still feel the shackles bounding her in place, unable to help her friend.

It was evident she wasn't the only one in the group that struggled in her sleep, plagued by memories and nightmares, as Rowan jolted awake near by, sitting upright on his bed roll. Heaving in big gulps of oxygen as though he had been deprived of it for decades.

Teyra watched him rub at his face, Gavriel's golden Lion form, padded closer to the group hearing Rowan wake. He blinked at them both for a second. Teyra turned her attention back to her knives, blocking out the sound of Rowan talking to the Lion.

She was at the edge of their group, preferring to sit alone with her thoughts, perhaps it was her distance away that enabled her to catch onto the noise first. Her head whipped in the direction of the sound, narrowing her eyes she watched the trees behind her, pulling a second blade from the felt mat, Teyra rose.

She heard Rowan shift from his place behind her, shoving the Lion awake once more when he met Teyra's alarmed stare.

Something was gaining on their positions, Teyra crept closer, a dagger drawn close to her chest. she could hear Elide soft voice questioning as Rowan gently nudged her awake, pushing her behind the safety of the Lion.

Teyra stopped, allowing the silence to aid her. There was soft footsteps, and a flash of white to her right. It seemed to move around their camp, tracking.

Teyra heard Rowan hiss out an order to her, but she ignored him racing forward she launched her body at the figure. They collided and the force of her momentum knocked them rolling through the bushes of the undergrowth. She manged to lock her legs, throwing the other onto their back. Posing up she drew a dagger to rest at their throat.

Pale eyes blinked at her in surprise. Teyra gaped in shock, pushing herself of the figure. His skin a bright pale, almost white, similar coloured hair was pinned back. It was a wonder she hadn't recognised him sooner

"Corbin?" she breathed, holding a hand up to halt Rowan and Lorcan from attacking as she marveled at the sight of the Pride member. Corbin nodded quickly, hands moving to sign a message to her. Teyra cut him off, moving forward offering a hand to pulled him from the ground.

"I could have killed you, you moron!"

Corbin, squinted at the males behind her, nostril flaring, he moved as though to put himself between her and the other males.

Who are they? He signed. Hands moving rapidly, Teyra tracked each movement, Translating in her thoughts as quickly as he signed to her.

"Rowan and Lorcan. Gavriel is back at the camp." she pointed with a thumb over her shoulder, dagger still in hand.

Corbin twisted. Pulling a note from within the beige coat he wore. He was once of the few Pride members to not adore to the optional colour code of black and azure blue. He held it to Teyra, she shoved the dagger into the sheath at her side, taking the note, She recognised Brielle's hand writing easily.

He had been hunting them since they left skulls bay. Brielle had sent for him, Teyra had only met this male a few times, He was one of the oldest Pride members and one of the oldest amongst them.

Corbin could easily rival the males behind her in age. Brielle had rescued him, from a 'doctor' who experimented on Fae, believing he could heighten their senses by taking others away. Corbin couldn't talk, but his sense of smell was unmatched by anyone she had ever met. No wonder he had managed to track them this far across the continent.

Ignoring the rest of the note, Teyra threw herself at him once more, wrapping both arms tightly around his shoulder. Corbin was stiff against her for a second before returning the embrace,

"Is this another Pride member?" Lorcan's voice was rough from the sleep he had been dragged from. Teyra released her arms, turning back. "Allow me to introduce, Corbin Ryker, In the Pride hes known as -"

"The Hunter." Rowan finished. Eyes squinted as he scanned the male beside Teyra, "Come on, we have more travelling to do. Must sleep."

Teyra smiled at the consort of Terrasen and doubted he was getting any sleep if the rims around his eyes were any indicator. There was movement as Elide pushed through behind Lorcan and Rowan, eyes falling on the Pride members, a second before Gavriel appeared.

Even in this form, Teyra could see the worry on the lion's face, no doubt Elide had rushed off despite his attempts to have her stay put.

"Oh" she spoke softly, eyeing the pale skinned fae male.

"Come now," Rowan turned to urge her back to the camp, Elide turned reluctantly, knowing better then to argue with Rowan. Lorcan waited in his place for Teyra and Corbin to pass before he followed,

They made it back to the camp, easy back down into place. The adrenaline still coursing through each of them as they tried to calm down enough to fall back to sleep. Corbin had stationed himself near to Teyra who began gathering up her knives,

Elide sat with both legs curled beneath her, watching from the other side of the small fire they had started.

"Do you all have those names?" she whispered softly, every person paused in the movement, stopping to watch the Pride members. Teyra squinted softly,

"What names?" She voiced, Corbin waved for her attention,

I think she means the Pride titles.

Teyra smiled as she realised what Elide had meant, Exhaustion was addling her thoughts.

"We get our names when we do something worth remembering. Given to us by the people that continue to tell out tales. Generally the names directly link to the story." Elide watched, listening contently, Lorcan and Gavriel also seemed happy to listen. The information from within the Pride is fairly new, even to them.

"The Hunter" Teyra gestured to Corbin, who beamed a smile at the human across from him, his hands moving excitedly,

"What is he saying?" Elide asked softly, her eyes drooping slightly, Teyra turned to watch as Corbin re-signed,

Tell her the others.

Teyra frowned at him, "There is not enough time to go through them all" he frowned at her, throwing a vulgar sign at her,

Turning to Elide, "He wants me to tell you the other Pride members titles" Lorcan and Gavriel sat up, Teyra didn't miss how Rowan leaned closer now, on his bed roll. Teyra could have sworn Elide might have known them, but the girls past made sense as to why her wide eyes fascinating was new.

Teyra turned to the other males, "Which ones do you guys known off?" She had asked out of genuine curiosity, perhaps as a distraction — a moment of normality between them.

Rowan sat up, "I know, The Thief, The Hunter and The Sorceress" Teyra smiled at him, "Yvonne, Corbin and Vera" she nodded at him, watching as Elide seemed to mumble to herself as though committing each name to memory.

Lorcan shifted, eyes watching Elide, "I know, The Ghost and the Warden" his voice was rough, thinking for a beat "And the Phoenix "

"Safa, Colden and Merle" it was weird to be listing their names, the people she had come to see as family, despite not having seen half of them in years.

Gavriel leaned over, as though he might be directing his words to Elide, if he had somehow also saw her trying to remember the names of each Pride member, "The Phantom, Shadow, Guardian, Beast and the Vengeful."

Teyra smiled when Elide turned to her, awaiting the names of the spies, "Alexi, Me, Kamari, Theron and Regan."

"That's only eleven spies. There is seventeen is there not?" Elide's genuine curiosity pulled a string in Teyra chest, nodding she began to list the final names,

"The Lioness, The Witch, The Lord, The Messenger, The Blue Lady and" Teyra paused, "The Loyal" She breathed slowly through her nose, Corbin hung his head, "Brielle, Vale, Griffin, Enola, Faye and Isaiah"

The air around them grew taunt, Elide hesitated, "Will you tell me the stories?"

Teyra smiled, but she knew it didn't meet her eyes, "Another night, It is late."

It was her way of shutting the conversation off in their group, rolling over she heard the others doing the same, allowing her to slip into her thoughts.

Seventeen Pride members, sixteen without Isiah. It ached something awful, people die in war. They would be no exception. If Brielle chose to fight every one of them would follow, no questions asked. Brielle had given them all a second chance at life, and every one of them would repay that with their lives in they so chose, Herself included.

Dying didn't scare her, but losing any more of the Pride did. She felt the tear slip, knew the other chose not to question it, Teyra knew they wouldn't all come out alive, and that alone scared her more than anything.

☽⋆❈⋆☾

Brielle, freshly bathed and clothes walked to meet with Connall, she had found herself distancing from others since she was brought back to the torture chamber, forced to use her power on Vera. Used it to inflict pain on her family. It had been a blessing that Brielle had only hurt Vera and not the other as well, she wouldn't be able to face both Rowan and Theron knowing she had hurt both of their mates. Made them suffer more then they had at the hands of Cairn.

Brielle eased into a slower pace, matching Connall strides as she found him in the street below, rounding to the city street leading to the city walls. She had to go back to the camp outwith the city grounds.

"You never fail to amaze me with your resilience" he spoke softly, offering an arm to her, Brielle hesitated but looped her through, leaning into him, she didn't feel at all resilient, not with how she was guilt ridden to sickness in the late and earlier hours of the day.

"I need you to help me. I need to meet with someone inside the castle tonight," They kept walking but she knew Connall was frowning at her words, masking it with a smile as they passed a group of fae civilians.

"What might you-"

"I need you to keep Maeve distracted."

Connall almost stumbles, Brielle used her arm to keep him standing, he pulled her to a stop.

"Bri..."

"I know, I know. It would be for ten minutes most." He winched looking anywhere but at her, Brielle waited, Connall huffed a sigh, "I think I could to try plead with her once more." he began to walk, pulling Brielle with him.

"Plead? For what?"

Connall stiffened, "Every day. I knew you were down there. I begged her everyday to release you. She never relented, but what's one more go, right?"

The air was knocked from within her throat, just as they reached the army camp. She shook away her thoughts, pulling her arm from his.

They didn't utter another word of their previous conversation, not when there was so many surrounding ears to overhear them. Brielle continued to lead, weaving through the camp, finding the training field with ease.

She paused at its edge, scanning the warriors as they trained. Connall stopped beside her. Moving when she did, Brielle aimed for the group from the bar. The female was the first to spot her, stopping she straightened, the others around her following suit.

"Commanders" she spoke softly, addressing them both. Brielle kept her narrowing eyes on the female she had fought in the pit before,

"Who oversees your training?" she was only going to ask once, so she poured very ounce of her commanders voice into her words.

The group seemed to heed the tone, "Captain Zakurio" the male to the right addressed her with a nod, Brielle felt her togue click against the inside of her teeth,

"Where any of you on the ship in the Stone Marshes Coast?"

Brielle watched them pass uncertain looked between themselves, finally they faced her as one, "No, we arrived here from Mistward about a month ago" a petite female, a scar running down the side of her face, her voice was soft despite her appearance.

"Good." Brielle muttered, more to herself, Turning to Connall, "Go make the arrangement will you." he nodded once, before turning to venture further into the camp.

"What is happening?" the tallest male in the group stepped out of line, he was pulled back but by those around him. Brielle softened her gaze.

"I will oversee your training." The look of puzzlement they all shared could have made her laugh,

"Meet at the fighting pit tomorrow before first light. You will not train where the other warriors can see you."

She need not to give them any more information, the direction was clear. She also didn't feel the need to explain herself further. Turning she moved to find Connall once more. She needed to prepare for tonight.

Brielle paced back and fourth within the four walls of her room. Connall had left about five minutes ago, with hopes of distracting Maeve long enough for Brielle to hold this small meeting.

Leaning into the post of her bed frame she glanced around the room, remembering all the nights she had spent with Fenrys here. How many times he had her up against-

She tried to ignored the memories that flushed her body, spreading heat between her legs. If everything goes to plan she would be able to help him, Aelin and Vera. But without help, she feared even her actions may be rendered useless.

The curtains by her window, blew up with the night breeze, Her ear twitched at the sound of wing beats. Brielle turned to meet the noise, the blur of wings flew past Brielle, an Owl's sleek body landing on the desk.

Brielle smiled, turning to face the Owl from Maeve's side. The flash of light was almost blinding, as Brielle watched her transform back into her fae body.

Enola stretch her arms wide on either side of her body, a beaming smile widening across her expression.

"You wanted to meet with me commander?"

29 - He's My Life

Part 30

His Golden Princess

@fanficismydrug @misskitty1912-blog @alanaangie24

Foosteps approached us so we broke the kiss seeing Regina who bawled her hands into fists at her sides. "You Charming's can't let me have happiness can you!"

Blinking the sleep from my eyes I was woke from my deep sleep by the sound of weapons and boots hitting the ground in a quick fashion. Robin and I shared a tent since he insisted it was too dangerous for me to walk alone at night. I haven't spoken to Regina since she saw me and Robin kiss last night. She just might kill me if she got the chance. Pushing the flap open I gasped rushing forward in between Rumple and Robin with his loaded crossbow aimed at him. "Woah, woah. Robin you can't shoot him!"

Foosteps approached for me to see his little son drop his sticks scared. "Daddy!"

"Don't! Please!" I begged my lover whipping my head to give him puppy dog eyes.

"I don't want to. I really don't. Come closer, little boy." He magically forces Roland forward. He then uses magic to push the boy into the ground.

Roland cried. "Daddy! Help!"

Waving my right hand I pointed the tip of my sword into Rumple's neck. "Fight her Rumple. If she wants a heart. Give her mine..spare his child." Rumple sucked in a breath not changing his position.

"I didn't want to do this either." Robin shoots his arrow; only for Rumple to magically catch it in mid-air. He then turns the arrow in Roland's direction.

Stepping closer I press my blade tightly against his throat hearing him grunt still not dropping his hand. "It never misses its target. And I've just changed the target. If I drop my finger..."

The other Merry Men attempt to come forward, only for Rumple to freeze them into place. "Wait! Wait." Robin begged digging the heart out from hiding underneath a tree handing it over to him.

"Thank you. And I am sorry." He sends the arrow flying until it is inches from Roland before it drops.

Rumple and I locked gazes before I bared my teeth to the man I love. I saw some blood from where I had cut him with my sword secounds ago. "Take me to her right now, Dark One. I wanna lay my blade into her chest!" Rumple waved his hand engulfing us in a cloud of purple smoke until we returned to the old farm house she was keeping him.

"Astrid you need to get out of here-" Rumple begged me still holding the heart in his hand until it magically gets into Zelena's hand behind me.

"Come for another beating little Charming?" She teased when I spun around on my feet.

Getting in a fighting stance I gripped the sword in my hands. "Why is it so important that Rumple doesn't stop you. What do you want with him exactly?"

"That's none of your business." She snapped stepping closer to me

Knitting my brows together I could see an odd expression on her face. Glancing over my shoulder to Rumple I snapped my fingers thinking something crazy. "You love him. That's why you want him all to yourself."

"It's fine dearie. I have that affect on women. I won Emma's sister after all." Zelena rolls her eyes at Rumple's chuckling in amusement.

"Stop talking. That's not the reason." She raises the dagger out making Rumple bend his head down like he was a dog.

Glaring towards her I take a swing for her but she grabbed the end of my blade yanking me in her face. "If you wish to know so badly I'll show you. It doesn't matter anyway. You'll be dead when this is done." She grabbed my chin in her freehand engulfing me in a cloud of green dust where I collapse onto the grass.

"The Dark Curse is the only way." My father spoke since they had traveled to see the good witch for answers.

Regina throws her arms up frustrated at the situation. "Haven’t you been listening? I can’t cast it."

"But someone else can." He trailed off.

"Who?" My mother and I asked in unison seeing his gaze had fallen on us.

My father slowly walked over takingher hands in his. "You. It’s the only way. You can use my heart to cast the curse. We have to think of our child."

"Our child needs you. I need you. We’ll find another way. We always find another way." My mother started crying wrapping her arms around his neck. Turning on my heels I jumped on the closet horse riding off into the middle of the woods crying. Falling from my horse into the mud I gasped through tears until I felt someone watching me.

"Oh forgive me. I'm Zelena. I must say I wish my sister was suffering like you." I saw the wicked witch leaning against a tree watching me.

Getting to my feet I drew my sword I tried attacking her but she grabbed my sword melting it with her fight. "You're making my mother have to kill my father!"

"Well you're suffering shall be short. You see I have a plan to make the Dark One suffer...through you." She shoved her hand inside my chest making me gasp pulling it out. "When I crush your heart he will feel your pain and then he and everyone else in this realm wouldn't be able to stop me. Because they won't remember any of this."

Raising my hand I created a fireball to throw at her but she squeezed my heart. Gasping for air I collapse on my hands and knees. Clutching where my heart was I started crying when she gave it one finally squeezing tightly. "They'll stop you...good always wins!"

"Maybe so. But you won't be able to warm them. Sweet dreams princess Charming." Zelena clutched my heart turning it into dust with my eyes falling closed. Inside Rumple's castle he gripped the bars feeling pain in his chest suddenly.

He yanked his heart from his chest quickly placing a spell over it before he felt you completely die. "Astrid..."

Comments really appreciated ❤️

JERUSALEM—Israeli opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu is set for a stunning return to power just over a year after being toppled as prime minister at the head of what is likely to be a far-right governing coalition—possibly the most extreme in the country’s history.

With nearly 90 percent of votes counted after the Tuesday election—the country’s fifth in less than four years—Netanyahu’s Likud party and its Jewish ultra-Orthodox and ultranationalist allies held a commanding lead over a combination of centrist, leftist, and Arab factions.

Although final results are not expected until later in the week, analysts are already hotly debating the variables that led to Netanyahu’s victory, including his success at turning out the traditional Likud voter base; the relative cohesion of the pro-Netanyahu alliance, which coalesced into just four parties; and the fractiousness of the anti-Netanyahu bloc, which ran no fewer than eight parties.

Two of those parties—the Palestinian nationalist Balad and the left-wing Meretz—failed to make it over the 3.25 percent electoral threshold for entry into parliament, according to early results, thereby ensuring Netanyahu’s victory. “It’s stupidity. The difference [between the two camps] is 3,700 votes. The [anti-Netanyahu] Change Coalition lost because it didn’t unite,” Camil Fuchs, a leading Israeli pollster, told Haaretz on Wednesday. (That figure rose to a still modest 8,000 votes later in the day.)

Netanyahu’s clearest and possibly sole path to forming a government will be with what he has termed his “natural partners,” including the extremist Religious Zionism bloc, which surged to become the third-largest party in parliament.

Religious Zionism is an alliance of three far-right factions, representing hard-line settlers, ultranationalists, and anti-LGBTQ religious activists. Its most prominent leader, Itamar Ben-Gvir, is a disciple of the anti-Arab ideologue Meir Kahane. In the past, Ben-Gvir has been convicted of incitement to racism. For years, he proudly displayed a photo on his living room wall of a notorious Jewish terrorist responsible for the 1994 massacre of 29 Palestinians in the West Bank.

Netanyahu’s coalition, which would also include two ultra-Orthodox parties, is likely to have just 10 women parliamentarians (compared to 30 in the last coalition) and possibly only one woman cabinet minister after near parity between the genders in the outgoing government.

Israeli policies could change dramatically if even a fraction of the promises made on the campaign trail by right-wing politicians are enacted, analysts said. That includes a remaking of the country’s judiciary and rule of law as well as a more aggressive military posture toward Palestinians in the West Bank. Even Israel’s relationship with the United Stated could be affected.

Indeed, no issue has consumed the Israeli right in recent months more than an ambitious agenda of “legal reforms,” as politicians have called them. They include steps that would undermine the independence of the Supreme Court and attorney general, making both more beholden to the government.

Much of the ire directed at these institutions stems from Netanyahu’s own ongoing trial for fraud, breach of trust, and bribery, which he has called a “witch hunt” directed by a “vast left-wing, deep-state conspiracy” in the past. Ultranationalists have also long clamored for a freer hand on issues—such as West Bank settlement construction, the deportation of African migrants, and the limiting of minority rights—without the meddling of the courts and justice officials. Not coincidentally, such “reforms” could also halt Netanyahu’s trial altogether, according to legal analysts.

“This may be a tipping point in terms of taking a hatchet to Israel’s democratic system,” said Dahlia Scheindlin, a political strategist and fellow at the Century Foundation think tank. “It’s an almost proto-totalitarian insistence that the judiciary is the enemy of the people, and that in the name of ‘effective governance,’ these checks and balances must be removed.”

Scheindlin said these policy proposals go hand in hand with the “Jewish supremacism” advocated by Ben-Gvir and others, especially as it relates to Palestinians in both the West Bank and inside Israel. (Arab Israelis make up a fifth of the country’s citizenry.) Netanyahu repeatedly tarred the outgoing government, which for the first time in Israeli history included an Arab-Israeli party in its coalition, as being beholden to “terrorist supporters” and “Muslim Brothers.”

Ben-Gvir’s growing popularity can be partly explained as a backlash to the inclusion of an Arab party in the outgoing coalition. His rhetoric often focuses on the alleged security threat posed by Arab Israelis, but it can also be more transparently chauvinistic. “It’s time that we returned to being the masters of the house over our own country,” Ben-Gvir thundered in his victory speech to supporters early Wednesday morning.

According to Amos Harel, a veteran military analyst for Haaretz, the “racist message the right promoted and that brought it to power … will backfire and may spill out into the streets—especially now that Ben-Gvir [and Religious Zionism] are part of the government.”

But Harel and other analysts do expect some continuity in security policy from Netanyahu.

“It won’t be 180 degrees different … and Netanyahu has in the past shown himself to be extremely careful regarding the use of force,” Harel said.

Netanyahu’s ultranationalist partners could, he stressed, radicalize Israeli policy with respect to sensitive holy sites in Jerusalem, the ongoing 8-month-old escalation of violence in the West Bank, and even the “war-fighting ethics” of the Israeli military.

Ben-Gvir campaigned on a promise to loosen the rules governing the use of live fire against Palestinians in the West Bank. “It’s time to untie the hands of our soldiers and police officers,” he said on Wednesday. He would also likely push for eliminating the few limits on settlement construction in the West Bank that the outgoing Israeli government agreed to in talks with the Biden administration. Ben-Gvir and most other members of his party are themselves residents of various West Bank settlements.

Leaders around the world have yet to weigh in on the political developments in Israel, preferring to wait for the final election results and the composition of a new government. It remains to be seen whether any lurch rightward could affect Israel’s international standing, including in the United States.

Ahead of the election, at least two prominent U.S. Democratic Congress members known to be allies of Israel expressed their concern at the possibility of a government that would include Ben-Gvir. Several Jewish American groups did so as well.

Thomas Nides, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, tweeted on Wednesday that he looked forward to “continuing to work with the Israeli government on our shared interests and values.” The same message was conveyed last week—ahead of the Israeli election, and at least publicly—by U.S. President Joe Biden when Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited Washington.

Israel’s growing ties with several Arab states could remain unaffected. As a senior Bahraini minister told Israel’s Army Radio on the eve of the election, when asked about the possibility of a far-right Israeli government: “We keep our eyes set on the bigger picture. It took us 70-plus years to get to where we are today. I don’t think a change [in government] will detract us from what we’ve invested in the last two to three years.”

But Scheindlin argues that if Israel under the new Netanyahu government goes down the road of other populist-nationalist states—like Hungary, Poland, Turkey, and India—then Western governments may begin treating it differently, at least rhetorically.

“It used to be taken for granted that Israel was part of the family of Western liberal democracies, with small failings regarding the occupation” of the Palestinian territories, she said. “Now, things may become clearer.”

Helena Borne is based on Helgamine from The Nightmare Before Christmas. She is a 29 year old witch, Hideaway Hostels maid, and uses she/her pronouns. She has the power of necromancy. Helena is portrayed by Camila Quiroz.

helena has only ever felt love and familial ties to her sister zelda. she has never ever felt close to her parents. she felt as if they saw her as weird as her peers did. zelda has always been her light in an endless darkness that was her mind.

she always has felt like she just was playing the game of life wrong. she often wonders if she should have been born a cat or some other animal. she just never....could quite get it right when it came to other people. she was too loud when she needed to be quiet. she was too soft when she needed to be hardened. she said the wrong thing constantly; too blunt or not honest enough. it was maddening and her lack of connections to the people of her hometown messes her up mentally.

growing up with magic was wonderful at first. she had always had such high regard for life and the process it went through, even though her magic defied that at every corner. while her sister had the grandest divination she was able to return the dead to the living. necromancy.

it was no surprise that she aligned her practices in devotion to hecate. and when she shunned her own gifts she felt like she had shunned the goddess herself and has been trying to stay in her graces since. while she doesn't practice her specific magic anymore she has studied herbology and makes sure that she prayers at her altar daily. she has a garden for her herbs and they are her babies honestly.

she can't get that dog's eyes out of her head. the demonic nature of them. surely, she was given a gift that didn't suit her at all. she couldn't understand why she had to have yet another reason for people to shun her. she still often has dreams of that dog. she wonders what has become of it. but she is too anxious to ever find that out. she has a permanent reminder of that day. the very tips of her fingers have darkened and she hasn't been able to get rid of it.

helena loves evermore, she really does. she still doesn't have a lot of friends or goes out much, but she is trying to allow herself a little more freedom in the confides of the town. she is an introvert by nature but she still desires to know what is like to be a little more...well, like her sister.

despite her outward appearance which is very ophelia/morticia addams coded, she tries to not let it be loud that she is a witch. she is sure people make their own assumptions, but she tries to brush them off best she can. she just wants to live a normal life. she wants to feel normal, human, for once in her life.

still, there is a darkness in her mind and it is begging to be let out. it wants to flirt with disaster, let herself become the witch she could be. she has been fighting each whisper to the best of her ability but sometimes she feels like she is locked in a cage within herself, ready to break the lock.

she is very into journaling. it helps her deal with the constant flow of thoughts in her head the crippling loneliness. she has never let another soul read them and most of the time she won't even look at what she wrote. sometimes she feels as if she was possessed with some of the darker entries she made.

she doesn't really hold onto possessions much. she is a very bare minimum kind of person, but her guilty pleasure? books. shakespeare, grimoires, classic literature; her biggest vice. she has a rather large collection she keeps close to at all times. she will always have a copy of hamlet or macbeth on her person. just in case.

of course the two places she will be found out the most are the library and forest. she also does have a soft spot for the cat cafe, but she normally doesn't have the courage to go to it. lately she has also found herself walking past the gates to the graveyard more and more. she doesn't feel worthy enough to be amongst the dead though she wishes she could allow herself that peace.

she loves to crochet. she crochets clothes, hats, etc. she has a lot of little old lady like habits since she hardly leaves her house.

she wields words like weapons. she is sharp tongued because it is her defense mechanism and at this point she just doesn't have much trust in others so she is always on the defense.

she likes to cook and bake. she isn't amazing at it, but she still does it a lot when she is really bored and really stressed. she is a better baker.

she used to dream about being a mother someday. of sharing all the light and love she had to give to a child. but she knows that will never happen now. she is too scared to grow close to anyone and the only time she can even handle being intimate with someone is if she's drunk. she knows she will never have the dream she seeks out and that is just what it is to her.

all in all what drives her to go out and try hard to be what she is not is her sister. she knows in the back of her mind that her sister can't stand what she has become and she just wants to be better for her. all she could ever want is to be better for her.

#🪦 love is never ending in me; take it out of me || hcs.#death mention tw

Edit 05.09.23: I no longer support AI art. This has been true for a while but I haven't updated my intro. If you go back far enough you may find some art. When I first got into it I thought they used only free photo databases and only art that had entered public domain. I know this was naive now. I liked the hyperrealistic style renders that could generate character inspiration. I didn't know how much art was being stolen and how many styles were being replicated nonconsenually. Honestly when I got into it I was being very delusional. So it took me a while to accept that what was happening with AI art was happening. Using AI art tools for fun was not as completely harmless as it first appeared. I don't want to help that industry, but I do hope one day AI art could be different. Not a threat. Because the programming potential would not be a replacement of human art. AI programming is a special interest bc I think the field needs people who care about the ethics of how AI technology is used. I sometimes blog about AI art in reference to this interest in understanding the industry of AI as a whole and how it can be used for justified choices.

Heyy, I've just started witchcraft... but my parents are shitholes to me in general and don't let me do things like this, though I want to... any tips for a closeted witch? thanks! and have a wonderful day <3

The first thing that popped into my mind was "be a geology weeb". That's actually how I started out - learning about rocks.

Research and incognito mode are going to be your best friends. Seriously.

Disguise your witch stuff as your newest hyperfixation. When I was starting out working with Loki, I told my parents it was a hyperfixation -and since they're used to me doing that sort of thing, they didn't bat an eye.

Other than that, I have next to no idea, because it is early and my brain is still kinda asleep.

If anyone else has ideas for @gumberrybear on how to disguise their practice, send em in!

June 2021

Cash stares at the finished untitled manuscript and scrunches his face. He’s written all 600 pages of… that, and he’s honestly indecisive about the next step. It was all Larry’s idea.

“Think about it, son. It’s good money, gets you out of your comfort zone, and no one has to know it’s you. I said it won’t get out if it sells well.”

Cash trusts Larry with his life even if he sometimes feels like he shouldn’t.

He’d never admit it was fun to write, and he had zero experience in the genre in both ways — reading and writing. He went with the most cliche tropes he could think of after looking around the internet for tips. Cash is a perfectionist who takes challenges seriously and doesn’t stop until he’s conquered them. He doesn’t understand why he’s so… apprehensive about the whole thing; Cash had never cared about the opinion of others when it came to his books. Even when one of his literary idols gave Cash his props, he cried for five minutes and hadn’t thought about it since.

The idea of his readers thinking he’s a sell-out worries him if he’s 100% with himself.

Even with his age (29 is young when you think about it), it took years to get to this point and to lose it all because of a stupid dare with an old man. Makes Cash shudder. He knows a handful of good writers who switched because of the money and the validation; understandable, but he wishes it could be different.

So he stares at the thick bound of words about a broody heartthrob who may or may not possess powers who dodges the affections of a delicate witch who also is coming to grips with her powers, not to mention the build-up to the fulfillment of a prophecy, the ending can serve as a one time, yet open enough to write a sequel – if Cash were to get so inclined to write something like this again.

It still needs a title, though.

He thumbs through the pages, hoping for something to jump out at him that screams ‘title’, and when he thinks he’ll try again tomorrow (he has a week before he turns it in again for bound and cover), a piece of diaologue catches his attention finally.

“I waited for the end of the fog to tell you that I loved you.”

Cash scrunches up his face as he goes for his pen, clicking the tip out as he jots down what he thinks will be the perfect title for her book.

The End of Fog By Lilly Lee

My Habitica tableaux animations for Plaguetober 2021. Captions beneath the cut.

1, Magic: After a series of contract negotiations, the bunny has agreed to submit to transmogrification, provided that he will not be required to curl up in Dr. Athanasius’s musty top hat and that he will be allowed to consume any and all bouquets of flowers sprouting from the tip of the magic wand after the conclusion of the performance.

2, Protect: Sometimes the best way to save a bloom is to prune a bloom.

3, Trace: The next time you find yourself in an abandoned cornfield at midnight and in need of a convenient source of flame, try bringing your pet phoenix along for stress-free ignition.

4, Sweater: Spectral tiger cubs are often shy and tend to vanish when startled by steaming mugs of cocoa.

5, Act: Now thou art an O without a figure. I am better than thou art now. I am a fool. Thou art nothing.

6, Discovery: Remember, Watson, that though we have so homely a thing as a goose at one end of this chain, we have at the other a man who will certainly get seven years’ penal servitude unless we can establish his innocence.

7, Measure: To hatch yourself a mantis shrimp, take a drop of this, a drop of that, distill in an alchemist’s alembic, and… Poof!

8, Incense: Welcome to The Temple of the Spectral Gourd! What’s that tantalizing aroma?

9, Sit: Sure, Dr Athanasius enjoys the occasional cozy chat in the Swarming Darkness with his Ember-Eyed Egg Friends now and then. Doesn’t everybody?

10, Reap: There is a Reaper whose name is Death, and, with his sickle keen, he reaps the bearded grain at a breath, and the flowers that grow between.

11, Feather: Intruder! Mama! Intruder in the birdhouse! Get him!!!

12, Blunder: Dr. Athanasius’s pet phoenix, though admittedly very helpful in lighting the campfire, turned out to be inconveniently curious about the fish and carrot stew. Sadly, his hat would never be the same.

13, Treat: The only thing Dr. Athanasius enjoyed more than tea parties with hedgehogs was biscuits as big as his head.

14, Crystal: As it turns out, transverse rephlogistonification of Celestite works splendidly to thaw out ice serpents, but don’t expect to receive any gratitude from them.

15, Bandage: A rag, a bone, a strip of gauze… A mount fit for a Pharaoh!

16, Spirit: Soul summoning cannot yet be considered a controlled process.

17, Warning: Don’t change color, kitty. Keep your color, kitty. Stay that pretty gray. Don’t change color, kitty. Keep your color, kitty. Keep sickness away.

18, Mischief: Step one, acquire key to classroom. Step two, acquire cat toy. Step three, lure enormous blue frog into classroom by means of cat toy. Step four… ???

25, Ticket: Dr Athanasius leapt at the chance to tour the Luminous Sewers of Dragon Canal, but neglected to notice that his ticket had him placed in the Splash Zone.

26, Clandestine: Dr Athanasius thought he had escaped scrutiny, but he couldn’t quite be sure.

27, Nest: “Who, me? Nothing. Just thought I’d get a bit of fresh air. The what? On my head? Oh! Oh, I hadn’t noticed. I’ll just leave that here, shall I? Right, then. Goodbye!”

28, Revive: A shower of sparks from the scarab wand, and the desiccated nudibranch was as good as new.

29, Romantic: A confirmed bachelor, Dr Athanasius was never happier than when he was all on his lonesome, a wanderer above the sea of fog.

30, Macabre: And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.

31, Witch: Whenever Dr Athanasius borrowed his witch friend’s flying gear, it always made him feel a bit off kilter, but he very much appreciated the extra cat storage. (Animation linked here due to 30-gif post limit.)

Billy Owens and the Secret of the Runes (2010)

My love for the Harry Potter films has pushed me to find out what makes them special. This means exploring the realm of wannabees. Many pictures would seek to duplicate the magic of J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world. The very worst has to be The Mystical Adventures of Billy Owens: a film so cheap and poorly assembled you'll laugh at the embarrassing special effects when you're not spotting the cameraman's reflection. How could “Billy Owens and the Secret of the Runes” be worse? It's a question you'll regret asking. This film crushes your soul under the weight of its agonizing performances, thin characters, dull action, incomprehensible plot, muddled dialogue, unearned sentiments and amateur writing.

While other students are enjoying their summer vacation, Billy Owens (Dalton Mugridge) and his best friends Devin (Christopher Fazio as fake Ronald Weasley) and Mandy (Ciara O’Hanlon as not Hermione Granger) are taught magic by their teacher, Mr. Thurgood (Roddy Piper). When the kids fool around with some runes and accidentally send their teacher into a coma from which he may never wake up, they ally themselves with Mandy’s cousin Danny (Mikayla Ottonello) to save him. Meanwhile, the villainous professor Mould (Paul Germs) and his crony, the bully-turned-troll Kurt (Jordon Goulet) are hot on their track.

To preserve your sanity while watching a film of this caliber, you must latch onto something and look forward to it. Ideally, it would be the romance blossoming, the villain getting their comeuppance, the mystery being solved, etc. In a bad movie, you'll settle for sleazy nudity, unconvincing gore, or memorably bad performances. In Billy Owens 2, what kept me going was Roddy Piper’s lumpy hat. Whenever he showed up, I wondered if he was going to tip it or take it off just to put it back on seconds later. I know it sounds pathetic, but beggars can't be choosers.

Billy Owens and the Secret of the Runes is barely a movie and pinpointing its biggest weakness is easy: the sound design. Student filmmakers take note. Remember The Blair Witch Project and El Mariachi? They were to follow because you could hear what the characters were saying despite their minuscule budgets. Not that anything said in this rock-hard turd is worthwhile, but without even the charity of subtitles on the DVD release, Billy Owens 2 is a labor to get through. You literally have to strain yourself to piece together what this shoddy plot is about.

This sequel is significantly worse than its predecessor because it doesn’t have the "lovable" elements that made you laugh previously. There’s a phony-looking dragon, but all you see is its head, and even then, only for a few moments. While the dialogue is just as badly written, you can’t hear it. The performances are so crappy it's practically torture. The plot seems to stretch on endlessly. To watch this film all the way through you have to have lost part of your mind already, which seems obvious because no one would ever look at the DVD cover and say “Wow! I remember liking the first one. I bet this sequel will be just as good!”

I can’t believe I spent time, money and effort tracking down Billy Owens and the Secret of the Runes. Maybe I deserve everything I got from it. I should’ve known better. To anyone who watches movies for fun, even bad movies, I beg you to stay away. (On DVD, December 29, 2017)
