gonchar (8 minutes ago)Нераспятый мальчик
Коллеги, либо я чего-то не знаю, либо люди как с ума посходили.
Что цепляются к полиции с этим "арестованным мальчиком"?
В России много ужасного - но, похоже, совсем не этот случай.
А вот пропаганда заработала вовсю - и это неприятно. Отсекайте, коллеги, неразумие "репостера" новости от сознательного искажения фактов.
Не "полиция арестовала десятилетнего мальчика за чтение вслух Шекспира на улице", а "полиция задержала и доставила в отделение несовершеннолетнего ребёнка, просившего подаяние на улице".
Вот ко второй формулировке уже можно ДОБАВИТЬ про Шекспира, про то, что, как оказалось, отец был не против такого занятия ребёнка и т.п. Но никак не подавать всю новость именно как это делается. (Read more)
Что цепляются к полиции с этим "арестованным мальчиком"?
У меня пока впечатление, что всё было тривиально. Полицейские увидели, как ДЕСЯТИЛЕТНИЙ мальчик попрошайничает на улице (это именно так называется). Забрали его в отделение, чтобы разобраться. И правильно, имхо, сделали - если картина выглядит именно так.
Потому что это совсем не дело, когда на улицах дети просят подаяния, чем бы они это ни прикрывали, сбором средств на билет до дома, содержанием собачек или чтением стихов.

xedrox (11 minutes ago)Где деньги (эфир 003) и что делать
Группу профессоров-инженеров пригласили полетать на самолете. После того как они удобно расселись, стюардессы сообщили, что самолёт построили их студенты. Все, кроме одного, рванули к выходу в панике.
Оставшегося профессора, спокойно сидящего на своем месте, спросили:"Почему вы остались?"
«Я полностью уверен в своих студентах. Зная их, могу заверить, что этот кусок дерьма даже не взлетит».

О современном ли это всеобщем (и очевидно бестолковом) высшем образовании РФ? Или о том, как население смотрит на прожекты партии - "нацпроекты" и "медведернизации"? Рекомендую очень толковый анализ:

cracked:
In the Western world, witch hunting has mostly gone the way of leeching and dumping tea in the harbor – that is, only used as a political metaphor. In other parts of the world, though, honest-to-God, torch-and-pitchfork witch hunting is still a thing. In Africa, 55 percent of people believe in witchcraft, up to 95 percent in some areas.
In theory, that’s not a huge deal – a farmer will go to a shaman to get a protection charm to keep his cattle safe, that sort of thing. But it stops being fun the moment an angry mob accuses you of being a witch. Just ask “Steve”, a Peace Corps volunteer who, through a calamitous chain of events, found himself naked, filthy, and exhausted, being hunted by an angry mob …

“Chased By A Nest of Cottonmouths” by Orry Martin
I’m sharing this video for all those out there who kill venomous snakes because they swear that snakes want to kill them or pose an undue threat to them and their family. In this video, snake enthusiast Orry Martin works to debunk some of the more long-standing myths surrounding the infamous cottonmouth or water moccasin. This video is an incredible demonstration of just how shy and reluctant to bite the cottonmouth truly is.
If you’re scared of snakes, or if you’re one of those people who believes in killing venomous snakes, please watch this video. These animals are misunderstood, and it’s vital that we work to understand and protect them because they are integral parts of the food chain and without them, our ecosystems will be in serious trouble.
If you don’t have time to watch the whole video, let me offer a spoiler: of the twenty plus snakes involved with this experiment, most of which were seriously jostled and harassed for the sake of the test, only ONE was able to be convinced to bite, and only when Martin put his boot IN THE SNAKE’S MOUTH. All of the cottonmouths in the study tried to escape peacefully. A few didn’t even stick around long enough for the experiment.
Stop killing snakes.
The only bite he gets is totally dry and hilariously polite

ukhudshanskiy (15 minutes ago)Лев Толстой Царство Божие внутри вас (часть 7)
Но мало того, что, рассуждая теоретически, всякий человек не может не видеть, что жертвы, требуемые государством, не имеют никакого основания; даже рассуждая практически, т.е. взвешивая все те тяжелые условия, в которые поставлен человек государством, всякий не может не видеть, что для себя лично исполнение требований государства и подчинение себя воинской повинности для него в большинстве случаев невыгоднее, чем отказ от нее.
Если большинство людей предпочитает подчинение неподчинению, то это происходит не вследствие трезвого взвешивания выгод и невыгод, а потому, что к подчинению привлекает людей гипнотизация, которой они при этом подвергаются. Подчиняясь, люди только покоряются тем требованиям, которые к ним предъявляются, не рассуждая и не делая усилия воли; для неподчинения нужно самостоятельное рассуждение и усилие, на которое не каждый бывает способен. Если же, исключив нравственное значение подчинения и неподчинения, сообразовываться только с одними выгодами, то неподчинение в общем всегда будет выгоднее подчинения.

zorkist (17 minutes ago)Gone with the Wind
The death of imzy really does feel like a breakup/divorce.
I think about sharing things there and I remember it's going away. Little things I took for granted, I'm missing more and more as the reality hits. And the timing of this, personally... well, it's just a strange time for me.
Past two days, I filled in a pop-culture gap for myself and watched GONE WITH THE WIND. Anybody seen this...?
It's a lavish production and you can feel the immensity of its impact, but you really have to keep it in its historical context. A lot of it hasn't dated well. It's long and meandering and just kind of ends. But it was a global phenomenon at the time and I can kind of see how that happened. It was the TITANIC of its time. Big and dumb but with some really charismatic movie stars, and a few cool shots.
It's also a romantic portrait of the South and slavery (slaves are just like family!). And one iconic scene of marital rape.
Despite the material, Clark Gable is preternaturally charismatic. Weaponized star power. He died at just 59.

DO NOT DO THIS.
This makes me so angry.
If you work in a movie theater and you do this I have no respect for you.
My younger brother is Type 1 Diabetic.
When we go to a movie theater, we always get him diet soda. If he were to get regular when we asked for diet, we would not give him the insulin he would need for it. If that happens, his blood sugar level could go so high he could go into a coma, go blind, or even die.
If somebody gave him regular soda instead of diet without telling us, that person could be responsible for a nine-year-old being killed or blinded.
Just thinking about that makes me so angry. I get scared every time we take him to a movie in case the people working there saw this picture and decide to do the same thing.
Please signal boost this so people know.

Fun story about the baristas doing this kind of shit.
I am very sensitive to lactose, not Lactose intolerant but because of stomach ulcers that are still healing. A couple years ago I went to Starbucks right after my classes with some friends and asked for a green tea latte with soy milk. The barista, for some reason out of malice and/or hate for her life so she took it out on me, gave me whole milk in my latte.
5 minutes after my first sip of latte, my stomach cramped BAD. Not the “Oh! time to poop!” kind of cramp but it felt like someone had stabbed me with a knife and twisted it. Now I’ve had this happen before so I knew the cause of it. I went up to the barista clutching my gut screaming at her that she put dairy in my latte rather than soy LIKE I REQUESTED. She denied it and called me a “pretentious white girl for wanting (Read more)

marko19511 (19 minutes ago)Из истории СССР
Ох и силён же был тот СССР, если четыре длинноволосых парня с гитарами, поющие о любви и мире на Земле, в итоге сумели его опрокинуть. Наверное какие-то заклинания знали.
27 мая 1973 года советский авиатехник лейтенант Евгений Вронский произвел взлет на боевом самолете Су-7БМ № 52 с авиабазы Гроссенхайм, расположенной в ГДР. Имея минимальные навыки пилотирования, полученные на тренажере, Вронский весь полет совершал на форсажном режиме работы двигателя и шасси после взлета не убирал. После пересечения границы ФРГ Вронский катапультировался. Самолет упал на лесной массив у города Брауншвайг в 11:47. Обломки самолета возвращены советской стороне, а лейтенанту Вронскому предоставлено политическое убежище. Эту новость я узнал в тот же день по "вражьим голосам".

daisyridleyupdated:
I wasn’t trying to fit into a thing… it was not like I was like, ‘Right, I’m the Han; I’m the Leia; I’m the Luke.’ I was just like, ‘Okay, I’m Rey, just trying to do me, just trying to do this scene, trying to do the right thing,’ and I think that was a huge advantage because I think if not, it would’ve been a very different thing.

https://youtu.be/btRsGBkYX80
Мой любимый Аркадий Бабченко сказал за меня все, что я хотел сказать про вас:
А знаете, что больше всего поражает в этом видео? Ребенок кричит, плачет, парня довели до истерики, ребенок кричит на всю улицу "Помогите" - ребенок в центре столицы кричит "Помогите"!!! - А ВСЕМ ПОХУЙ.
Вот всем просто похуй.
Девчонка дерется за этого парня, он просит о помощи - А ВСЕМ ПОХУЙ. Подошла только одна пара.

spikethemuffin (37 minutes ago)"Take a look round/ Least I got... aw dang."
Actually posting "out loud" about needing to go to sleep did the trick, and I was able to sleep until the landlord came in. (I know you were burning to find this out.) The place was fine. (Did not hide work equipment well enough and got a meaningful look about the multi-line phone--- or maybe that was at the dog-made holes in the carpet. The line of sight was the same. Still not sure about the "no business transacted on the premises" clause on the lease, as the language used seems to preclude things like pizza delivery or eBay buying/ selling, and this just seems.. silly to me? But laws/customs are weird in Missouri--- did you know that most IRA's are considered an "investment" and illegal here if the individual investing makes less than $70/k per annum? Anyway. Usually, they have the "notice to vacate" on the door within the hour, though, so I think I'm okay for now.)
Woke up again, was wrong about the house. It is not okay. It is motherfrickin' sparkling, is what it is. So in twenty-seven minutes, I shall sleep until my eyeballs go pruney, then enjoy that weirdest of entities: three days off; in a row; with a sparkly (and organized) house. Crafting? Writing? Learn to use that sewing machine (FINALLY)? I owe my dad a longish letter or a kajillion. This payday is tight on money, so maybe not a lot of spendy stuff... hm. LotR movie marathon? Brush up Spanish? Binge the Career/ Manager Tools podcast? (Oh! News! Finally applied for my daughter's company. Everyone, please pray for a "special intention..." This would be in one of the fields I am STAGGERINGLY good at, crossing i's and dotting t's.. one of the cases where ADD is a superpower: because I am naturally awful at compliance and documentation IRL, I am really good at setting up systems that check themselves... and Horstman/ Auzanne work better at getting me into the high-C track (and out of the "C-is-for-cray-cray") than any therapist I've found. Hm...

dolari (40 minutes ago)no subject
I've been mostly quiet about my vacation. I've been to Austin multiple times, visiting friends, seen folks here in San Antonio. Done a trip or two into the Hill Country. I do feel, though, I've pretty much seen everything (if not everyone) I've wanted to.
The last few days have been with Steph, and her family. I got to sit and talk and share for hours with them, including Emma who I hadn't seen in forever. But the real joy for me this last week of all things?
Going to a a local gymnastics school to watch her daughter Elmyra doing flips and jumps.
I had a super SUPER love of tumbling when I was in fifth grade. Flips, jumps, cartwheels, all sorts of neat controlled falling. :) I absolutely super enjoyed doing that for six weeks in fifth grade.
I really wanted to get into it in Middle School...but sadly, it was a gendered class and only girls were allowed to take it. Another thing I missed out because of a chromosome.
But watching her doing all those flips and jumps and tumbles brought me right back to 1985. And I was a smiling fool the whole time.

General Likes:
You may see some reoccurring themes throughout the prompts! I definitely enjoy anything that looks at re-traumatisation – either deliberate or accidental - and that creeping horror as something from the past gets revisited in the present. I also love it when the abuse develops over time, starting small and gradually increasing as the victim is slowly convinced that this is somehow acceptable and ok (even though they know deep down it is not). That level of manipulation, and betrayal of trust is really interesting.
I know the prommpts get a little lighter as you scroll down. This isn't because of a preference for particular fandoms, but because this took days to write up and the closing date is fast approaching. Also, please feel free to use tags that may not be listed for a particular pairing but appear elsewhere on the list/a fairly similar etc. Any 'original character' can be replaced by a canon one if it feels appropriate.
WORLD TRIGGER: Arashiyama Jun prompts
Public figure, Kind, Sacrificial Lamb, Quiet Confidence, Poise, Terrible Liar, Looked Down On, Face of Border.
1. Original male character(s) noncon Arashiyama Jun
Abuse of Authority, Blackmailed / Coerced into Sex, Consensual Sex Becomes Rape, Extortion, Forced Prostitution, Grooming, Groping Escalates to Rape, Kidnapping/Imprisonment, Rape ordered by deity/religious leader, Rape with Sex Toy, Raped by medical or psychiatric provider, Raped by Monsters, Rapist leaks video of the rape, Sex to Seal the Deal
Some ideas:There are so many potential ways Arashiyama could be taken advantage of by authority figures. A political deal is sealed and Arashiyama is unknowingly the bargaining chip/prize. A younger Arashiyama is groomed while he is C and B rank and gets in way over his head with an older man/trainer. After a particular event, all those involved are assigned individual sessions with a psychologist as this is Border policy, and Arashiyama’s uses this moment of vulnerability against him. (Read more)

sic (43 minutes ago)Politwissenschaftliche Studien
Ging ja ein wenig durch die Medien. Göttinger Institut für Demokratieforschung, und eine Studie zum Rechtsextremismus in den neuen Bundesländern. Die Reaktionen waren gemischt, insbesondere auch hinsichtlich der Einordnung und Methodik.
Aus der Praxis:
Methodisch ist die Arbeit schwach. Die Anlage selbst ist ok, wobei sich in der Einführung bereits ein Studienbias erkennen läßt (Bezugnahme auf Hypothesen anderer Forscher, die jedoch als Voraussetzung gesetzt werden; macht man nicht, zumal die Ausgangsstudien, auf die man sich bezieht, ebenfalls methodisch massiv umstritten waren).
Die qualitativen Methoden sind vertretbar, wobei es aus meiner Erfahrung heraus nicht sinnvoll ist, Fragekataloginterviews zu führen, das ergibt immer Verzerrungen, die aus der Person des Interviewers heraus resultieren. Offene, narrative sind besser, oder aber Fragebögen verwenden. Kaum quantitative Methoden, das fällt in manchen Situationen sehr negativ auf, wenn frei assoziativ argumentiert wird, ohne das mit Daten zu stützen.
Die Auswahl der Gesprächspartner hingegen ist eine Katastrophe. Würde bei uns dazu führen, daß die Studie nicht zur Veröffentlichung freigegeben würde, weil sie eine klare politische Ausrichtung hat, und damit nicht repräsentativ ist. N ist sowieso elend klein, man muß immer dran denken, die übliche Größe bei Studien mit Analysecharakter sind 1K, wenn ich vorwiegend mit aufwendigen Methoden wie narrativen Interviews arbeite, sollte man mit rund 100 planen, wobei hier die Stichprobenziehung viel Bedeutung bekommt. Man kann durchaus wie hier alle Partner einzeln auswählen hinsichtlich ihrer gesellschaftlichen Position oder so, aber dann ist die Studie automatisch nur eingeschränkt aussagekräftig.
Die Sache mit der Anonymisierung der Gesprächspartner. Also das ist wirklich ein absoluter Anfängerfehler, hab ich so noch nie gesehen. Man anonymisiert nicht mittels Drittnamen. Entweder wird nummeriert (seltener) oder alphabetisiert (häufiger). Die Ano (Read more)

killingdaedalus in crystalcastle (44 minutes ago)Dolly/Shay -> Sink my teeth in
[ The air vibrates with tension, the faint reverberations of Halcyon's overworked gears nearly drowned out with the palpable waves of intent in the atmosphere. Celeste tightens her grip on the handles, bloodied knuckles gleaming in the dank light of L3.
She was sure she would've lost them by L5..
And then L4..
And now, tensely, she tests that theory again, hovering between two dilapidated buildings (likely once living quarters--now too corroded and infested to resemble anything habitable).
It's weird. She's lifted plenty of things off L8 before, and while they'd always give it a good go for a few levels, they'd never been willing to follow her this far down.
She glances down, cybernetic enhancements tracing over the details of the nondescript black box strapped to the side of her hoverbike. She's too professional, murderous habits aside, to break the courier's oath and look inside, but she's damn curious about what would prompt those pampered prick to go this far down.
A flash of light catches her attention, yellow light gleaming through the smog and haze above her head. Sirens ring loudly, though she can't hear them, and for the most part, none of the few stragglers on the street pay any attention. ]
Fuck.
[ If these officers had half the work ethic they're showing now in bed .. she might well be a law abiding citizen.
As it is, she lets a few more strings of curses (and invents a few more as well), mentally summoning Halcyon's thermal read out. Having raced, dodged, and collided through five levels, he's in bad need of upkeep. The chances of him making it another level with that pace.. ]
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
[ If she can't outrun them, she'll just have to outsmart them.
Looking down again, she notices one particular young man. Unlike everyone else who's pointedly ignoring the patrol cars, he seems almost shocked to see them.

ukhudshanskiy (49 minutes ago)Krishnamurti. That Benediction is Where You Are : The Last Bombay Talks 1985 (2001)
From childhood we are trained to have problems. When we are sent to school, we have to learn how to write, how to read, and all the rest of it. How to write becomes a problem to the child. Please follow this carefully. Mathematics becomes a problem, history becomes a problem, as does chemistry. So the child is educated, from childhood, to live with problems — the problem of God, problem of a dozen things. So our brains are conditioned, trained, educated to live with problems. From childhood we have done this. What happens when a brain is educated in problems? It can never solve problems; it can only create more problems. When a brain that is trained to have problems, and to live with problems, solves one problem, in the very solution of that problem, it creates more problems. From childhood we are trained, educated to live with problems and, therefore, being centred in problems, we can never solve any problem completely. It is only the free brain that is not conditioned to problems that can solve problems. It is one of our constant burdens to have problems all the time. Therefore our brains are never quiet, free to observe, to look. So we are asking: Is it possible not to have a single problem but to face problems? But to understand those problems, and to totally resolve them, the brain must be free.

Are we wasting our lives? By that word “wasting” we mean dissipating our energy in various ways, dissipating it in specialized professions. Are we wasting our whole existence, our life? If you are rich, you may say, “Yes, I have accumulated a lot of money, it has been a great pleasure.” Or if you have a certain talent, that talent is a danger to a religious life. Talent is a gift, a faculty, an aptitude in a particular direction, which is specialization. Specialization is a fragmentary process. So you must ask yourself whether you are wasting your life. You may be rich, you may have all kinds of faculties, you may be a specialis (Read more)

This made me laugh, because people are surprised by it. Guys, this is nothing more than natural selection of a typically varied population. It's what always happens when predators whack the individuals with a certain trait -- it drops out. Like the silent crickets of Kauai.

improperlyhuman (1 hour ago)I Might Be
Maybe I'm uncomfortable in sit-down restaurants and prefer to eat at my computer rather than a table because my family never sat down at a table to eat together all at once. We didn't have regular mealtimes either.
Maybe I'm terrible at keeping an apartment clean because I never had to keep a home clean. I wasn't ever given chores as a child. No one ever taught me how to clean a place of dwelling.
Maybe I have a poor sense of time because I had no schedules at home while I was growing up. I remember having a 9 PM bedtime for a while when I started school, but that didn't endure. School was the only place I had to be, and I had to rely on other people to get me there. I wasn't allowed to walk or take the bus despite my wanting to do so. At school I relied on the bells and never paid attention to time.
People in my house often stayed up rather late. I could hear them as I lay in bed. There were no nighttime rituals, no baths or stories, nothing to get children ready for bed. Maybe that's why I've had insomnia on and off during my adult life. Maybe that's why I struggle to adapt to a new sleep/wake schedule.
These are the things I've come up with while going through It Ends With You: Grow Up and Out of Dysfunction, a self-help book for adult children of dysfunctional families. Not too bad, am I? I don't get into abusive relationships, I don't have low self-esteem, I don't "solve" interpersonal problems with yelling and violence, and I don't smoke weed and drink alcohol every night. Alas, some of my siblings did not fare so well :(
So I think I don't really need to re-visit all that childhood drama. The shrink keeps tryna take me back. I just need to use the alarm feature of my cellphone, practice minimalism, get myself a chore schedule, and make sure I rarely have to get up early for anything.
Hallelujah. Tomorrow is Saturday, my day off from spinning. Being on that bike is so boring. (Read more)

nibblezz (1 hour ago)A Break is Needed
Since I was hired as a temp employee, I have a cap on the amount of hours I can work. This coming Thursday I will run out of hours for this fiscal year. The good news is they want me to come back after July 1st, which is the start of the new fiscal year. So basically I'll be out of work for one month.
Honestly, I'm sorta looking forward to the month long break. I desperately NEED IT! I'm so burn-out on life. I need a break. Sure things will be tight financially, but I think it'll be ok.
Even though they want me back, frankly, I don't want to go back. I need a job that will pay me what I'm worth. I was hired as an intern, with intern level pay, but with mid to senior level responsibility. While the rest of the interns did light filing, answering phones and the occasional light image edits, I was tasked with creating a new department website from scratch. All the while coordinating with three dysfunctional departments who do not share information. Not to mention, the heavy design tasks outside of webdesign work.
And the kicker is, I'm not even a web designer! LOL
Sigh.
The problem is, I don't know what I want to do, or where I want to work. I guess it's time for me to stop making excuses and just apply to jobs that are interesting to me and see where it takes me. Hopefully one of them can give me break and hire me :)

I have this unspoken rule that if I don't know the fandom-- I can't use the icon; even if I made it for someone.
THIS icon right here made me go and find myself a game in the Ys series-- Memories of Celceta (Thank you so muchbatman for inspiring me to pick up the game). So far I like, I forgot how to play Action RPGs but it's refreshing! I sucked at the first boss-- but I'm hoping with time I'll get better!
I honestly think that this is the best icon I've ever made, it just is perfect in so many ways-- I stare at it in awe and I don't even know how it happened-- I am thinking that I might not of been in my right mind because it's hard to think something like that could come out of me. Seriously, I can't even.
Also, thank you all for the kind words you've spoken to me; with my work situation or with icons-- I appreciate all those words. I don't participate in a lot of fandoms and my DW is pretty much a way for me to take all the stress I am feeling and get it out in the open (and harness some creativity), and comments are not required but they are very much appreciated! Y'all rock!

glowing_dragon (1 hour ago)Ayler is FIVE! WOW! / Tunnels and square roots! / Vegetables attacked with ham!
After MORE COFFEE TIME, I went out at 5 (just getting the 401) to see Ayler and Hiero for a while for Ayler's fifth birthday as I'd planned with Harmony yesterday, who said it was sweet of me. I had Hiero's peace sign / ice cream / cupcake / doughnut / SESAME STREET / cats with sunglasses stickers and Ayler's emoji / stars / glow-in-the-dark MARVEL Heroes stickers, dinosaur birthday card, Slinky toy, and pre-historic dinosaur toys. Uncle Joe and Auntie Wing Yee were at the house as advertised, and asked if I was staying for an early and simple dinner of rice / broccoli / meat / water. Sure, why not? Ayler asked "why" questions a lot (like "why did Auntie make that face?" Because I had to sneeze!), and he apparently understands the concept of a square root already if you phrase it correctly! Both Harmony and I do not do math, so he'll have to figure it out some other way! Then he asked, "Why did Grandpa say DIE?" and some other things!
At least both boys seemed to love the Slinky (which is higher than them when stretched out), and took a couple of dinosaur toys to the Jacob's Well concert later on. (which I declined to attend) Hiero wanted me to lift him up from his eating chair after he was done eating a tiny mandarin orange for dinner, so I did that. He gave me a few stickers on my jeans, and Ayler talked a lot about the tunnels and ramps at Marine Drive. Hey, I know those because I went past there on the Skytrain to see everyone! At least I managed to get home at 7:20 on a 407, then talked to Lena on FB chat about special snowflakes and pronouns and edgy disrespect from a "friend"!
From Discord: This made me laugh yesterday. No, "Nephew #2" is NOT what I call my crappy nephew! Hahaha!
Mom in a kimono!
This menu in Toledo, Spain, is from Reddit: Beans, peas, artichokes, and spinach attacked with ham! ENGRISH!
( Attacking food with other foods! )

rhodrymavelyne (1 hour ago)Which names shall they continue with?
Back in the late 20th century, early 21 century, I created a pair of twins called Danyel and Dayel. They were accompanied by an overprotective older brother (Llewell), a mysterious foster mother (originally Amarie), and the sinister leader of a half elven cult (he uses the name Divian among others), stalking them all.
I called this little family Half Elven Gothic. They were created for an online roleplaying game I got very involved with. The game took place in a fantasy world where elves were the elite, humans were slaves or criminal outlaws, and half-elves were caught between the two. There was a lot of creative writing involved.
I usually emphasize with characters caught between two heritages, warring ideologies, and different authority figures pulling them in divisive directions. The setting of this game played on my imagination. It took Danyel wandering through this world, trying to figure it and himself out, while searching for his family. Llewell took on surprising life when he started a romantic relationship with one of the other male characters. This made him stand up to the man he’d always worshipped and followed in ways which surprised me.
Needless to say, my heart and imagination were taken over by this game. :)
Alas, good things often come to an end, especially when life throws challenges and conflicts at those involved. The two gamemasters running our story took a break. They withdrew a couple of key characters from the story, one whom Danyel had gotten quite attached to. Eventually, they closed the game.
Depressed, hungry for more, and seriously addicted to the m/m yaoi possibilites in the story which I’d never explored in roleplaying games before, I decided to try something similar. Only it would be a closed game with a few willing yaoi fans instead a public one. Several players from the closed game, along with some new players started the Keep. It was an interactive rpg or writing project where each of us had a yaoi bishonen protagonist. We could ha (Read more)

drplacebo in classical_music (1 hour ago)Forgotten Masterpiece Friday: Arthur Sullivan, Cello Concerto
It's Forgotten Masterpiece Friday!
I'm sure we've all heard music by Sir Arthur Sullivan (1842-1900) -- but have you heard anything by Sullivan without Gilbert?
Sullivan was not always known as a composer of light opera; it was only after he met W.S. Gilbert in 1870 that his focus turned to musical theater. Before that, he composed a number of critically acclaimed pieces for the concert hall, including his Irish Symphony, a cello concerto, and his best-known concert work, his Overture di Ballo, in 1870. Interestingly, in the years after Sullivan's death, a number of critics argued that his shift to musical theater was a waste of his talents. One, Fuller Maitland, wrote in 1901 that Sullivan's early work "at once stamped him as a genius" who would never fulfill his promise as he produced fewer and fewer serious concert works. This seems an unkind assessment of the Gilbert & Sullivan operettas, but certainly Sullivan's early concert works deserve more attention than they have received.
Arthur Sullivan was persuaded to compose a cello concerto in April 1866. At the same concert where his only symphony premiered, Italian cellist Alfredo Piatti played the Schumann cello concerto. Sullivan was impressed by Piatti's playing, and Piatti was evidently impressed by Sullivan's symphony; after that concert Sullivan immediately set to work on a new concerto for Piatti. Sullivan's concerto, first performed by Piatti in November of the same year, filled a large gap in the repertoire at the time. In the 1860s, there were few cello concerti in the standard repertoire: Schumann's has never been frequently played, and none of the Romantic concerti in today's standard repertoire had yet been composed, so cello soloists of the time tended to stick largely to Vivaldi, Haydn, and Boccherini.
Eventually, the likes of Dvořák, Saint-Saëns, and Elgar came to dominate the cello concerto repertoire, and early Romantic cello concerti such as Sullivan's fell into neglect. After Sullivan's death in 19 (Read more)

Okay, I'm angry. So angry, I'm not sure I even want to go to prom anymore and be under the same roof as shallow, ignorant bitches who care more about their hair in selfies than they do human feelings. There is such a thing as passive bullying, and it fucking SUCKS. You think you're an expert on depression because you feel sad sometimes and you diagnosed yourself through Google MD or your nextdoor neighbour has it? FUCK YOU WITH A CHAINSAW. No, my boyfriend shouldn't just be miraculously cured of his mental illness because he's dating me. No, I'm not failing as a boyfriend, doing my boyfriend job, just because he still gets ill and is suicidal. Being an incredible actor and earning a lot of money doesn't mean he can pay for miracle cures. Having a rich father doesn't mean that paying for the best treatment means his suicidal ideation is "put on" now because it shouldn't be as bad as a homeless person. You all bitches in your push-up bras know JACK SHIT about suffering a crippling mental illness, and you know jack shit about real love. Fuck you all. And if ANYONE on my Facebook friends list thinks any of this shit, or anything remotely close to it, unfriend me now, because you're a fucking cunt.

inksplashes in crystalcastle (1 hour ago)jenny/kate --> the city is at war
[ He doesn't think about the memories here.
They tease at him, those thoughts of the past. Pull at his synapses, beckoning him down the lane of remembrance with each familiar sight and smell. Old conversations drift towards his ears, whispering just beneath legible level--but he doesn't let them get louder.
Even the faintest caress of the past singes his soul. So he doesn't think about the last time he was at Kate's apartment, the conversations shared of heavy emotion and careful intent, because it was always meant to end the way it had. One day, he was supposed to just disappear, and he was expected to see everything he ever cared about burn without so much as a blink.
Of the first task, he was successful. The second--
Stop, he commands himself, glancing around the dirty walls and stairs leading to Kate's door.
Don't think. Don't remember. Just keep putting one foot forward.
Moving mechanically, he's through the security system in a few seconds--he'd been the one to have it installed, after all--and then he's there, in that cramped and quiet sanctuary..
.. but he's alone.
(Always alone. That's how it's meant to be.)
Lavi inhales deeply, letting himself risk the familiarity of her scent, his fingertips tracing over walls, tables, and finally, the same couch he'd spent so much time staking as his own.
He almost smiles, but he stops. Can't remember the good without the bad just yet, so he won't let himself go that far.
But he will, as he has done so many times in the past, lay his weary head to rest here. In the silence and sense of temporary haven, he's soon fast asleep in the mausoleum of memories. ]

shiro2hero in thisavrou (1 hour ago)accidental video; whoops
[We interrupt your regularly scheduled Important Current Event Updates with someone's elbow knocking into their TAB. Or maybe alien metal plus alien tech equals some kind of spark and power surge or something. Either way, this is a close-up of Shiro's elbow for several seconds of blurred movement and muffled yelling.]
[Because something's on fire.]
[And he's hitting it with one hand. Which is probably alarming if you're new to the neighborhood and aren't aware one of his hands is made of metal.]
-- why? I just hit a button! Stop! Burning!
[Oh yeah, he's in the kitchen. Butchering microwave food.]
[Because before the TAB clicks off with another knock of his elbow, there's a brief shot of the poor, butchered food. It's space easy mac. He burned space Easy Mac.]

AH, I SEE YOU'VE FINALLY COME TO A DECISION. [ he offers a thumbs up, a brief nod. ]
I UNDERSTAND THAT WHILE ALBERT AND I DO NOT FALL UNDER WHAT YOU MAY CONSIDER YOUR GENERAL SCOPE OF INTEREST, YOU HAVE EVERY INTENTION OF DOING THIS BY THE BOOK. [ the gesture transforms and he points now. ] THAT'S GOOD WORK.
DON'T YOU WORRY; I BELIEVE YOU HAVE EXACTLY THE RIGHT STUFF FOR THIS SORT OF JOB. TAKE IT ONE STEP AT A TIME. ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER. IF YOU FALL, WE'LL GET YOU BACK ON YOUR FEET IN NO TIME. YOU CAN COUNT ON THAT.

szarabasjka (1 hour ago)Story: Cinderella has notihng to do with this 4a/4
Fill to this PROMPT ( Unlike Cinderella though, Jared's story has no missing shoe, no kingdom-wide search, and no happy ending for him (yet). The magic that allowed Jared to come to the ball only lasts until the first light of dawn, and he must leave Jensen's bed to get home before that. Jared's not an idiot; he knows how Cinderella's story almost ends, so he's told Jensen his name and where to find him. They want to do this mating right, without Jared's stepfamily being able to take advantage or stop it.
But Jensen never shows.
So Jared waits. He waits for Jensen for weeks and weeks until he realizes he's pregnant. Unmated omegas have certain protections under the law, which is is only reason Jared's stepfamily never tossed him out
onto the streets to fend for himself. But Jared cannot hide his pregnancy forever, and that's exactly what happens to him when they find out.
With a little bit of help, both supernatural and mundane, Jared manages to survive long enough to find a place to live. As a last-ditch effort, Jared sends a petition to the High Alpha's court, informing them of his change of residence (under the guise of "if you have need of my services, etc.") and his condition, hoping it will remind Jensen of him or something.
Unbeknownst to Jared, the letter never reaches Jensen. It is intercepted by one of the court's wizards, Curtis Armstrong. The same wizard who erased Jensen's memory of Jared and their mating after he saw him sneaking from Jensen's rooms that night. Curtis has his own evil plans, so he takes matters into his own hands. He shows up at Jared's door pretending he was sent on Jensen's orders, and threatens to kill the baby unless Jared ceases all attempts at contact with the prince or the court. Jared agrees, still in love with his mate and their child, because he assumes Jensen is ashamed of him and that this is what he wants. Unlike alphas, an omega physically cannot take another mate unless their mate is dead, so while Jared
