We shouldn't have fucking elected a banker into office
I'm glad the Conservatives aren't in. PP would've sold us off.

But this isn't any better.

Niocalmodius, Cal, is a spiritual leader and conduit for the spirits that protect the Galhan people, even in Alcadia.

There's a reliance on certain colours, "odd" rituals depending on moon phase, asking them to help with certain tasks, he won't touch certain items if they have "bad energy"

Sylpha's best friend, Valda, worships the goddess of shadows, Thissa.

He leaves her mark on the places that he's stolen from, and leaves blackened bronze at her shrine that he personally made with his own hands.

Hveldra is another goddess who has claim on Sylpha. She's the elvish goddess of war and the only thing she's asked for is "End the war"

She's so tired.

Sylpha's main goddess for the longest time is Glimara, the Alcadian pirate goddess.

A portion of loot is dedicated to her, and every pirate captain has a wreath of Maidens Hair fern on their ship at the least.

The fern is also part of the ingredients used in making the pirates bloodbond tattoos

In Defenders of Alcadia, there's like.....so many.

Aldon personally worship the Vinican goddess of horses, the patron of Horse Lords. There's specific braids in his horses manes and tails, the ornamentation on the saddles, charms in and on the stables, personal prayers to Her for health and luck.

Are there any gods and/or pantheons in your book/wip? What are they like? What role do they play in the world? How are they worshiped? #WritingPrompt

Outside of all the problems people usually cite with whats wrong with Tiktok, I think the worst part is its moderation

The amount of shit that I report because its dogwhistles and other shit with a thin veneer of plausible deniability that they just put "we see no problems" on is horrendous

Being an omnivore is fucking awesome. Got teeth for every job. Molars for the mashing down of food, teeth to crack nuts with, teeth you can ruin while threading flower buds onto string, teeth to slice through fruit, teeth for ripping apart meat.

Teeth for every food.

Sylpha's best friend, Valda, sneaking in to observe the Captains Circle meeting.

Valda was a coward, something he never lied to himself about, and something he never really hid. Ever since he was young he’d weasel his way out of fights and run straight into the shadows. Discovering that the shadows were more than just shadows for him though had opened up the world and new possibilities to him. The shadows were his friend, and it was the shadows he used now to secrete himself in the rafters of the Circle meeting room. A large room he’d been in multiple times before to hunt out spots to hide out in or too listen in on conversations. Long years of thievery and sneaking had given him an almost uncanny ability to find all the gaps that could hold his weight, nimble fingers and soft shoes being assets for this kind of work. Before long he’d worked his way up to the first of the rafters that crossed the ceiling. Rafters in a place like this had struck him as odd at first as the flags of each captain already hung on the wall, although it looked a little crowded. But he wasn’t going to complain now, not when he’d be in serious trouble if any of the pirates spotted him. No one ever looked up, so he figured he was safe…just as long as he got into place before anyone came through those doors.
The wood groaned under him as he shimmied himself into the best possible perch from which to view everything. Particularly loud groans made him wince and he’d wait a moment before moving on a little more cautiously. This was slow, grimy work, and it was the reason he’d skipped when most everyone ate breakfast just to do this. He’d managed to wheedle some fruit pastries from the cooks earlier though, the memory of being caught because of a hungry belly always fresh in his mind. Finally he reached a point where three rafters connected and he sat on the point they all joined. Carefully he tucked his legs up and released the flow of magic that held the shadows around him. No point in exhausting himself, even with the cold tea in its customary spot at his hip. Brushing his…

Sylpha is refusing to come inside, shes doing everything out there and praying for it to turn into a storm.
Met even be helping Silas with the gardens.

Aldon is either reading or painting. Probably both. Might even be helping Gallus do research while they both hang out by the window

Canada Post is a service. Like other govt or quasi-govt services, it is not supposed to turn a profit. It needs to be efficient, but so do healthcare, the military, food inspection, schools, and other govt services. We subsidize it because people, businesses & remote communities rely on it. #cdnpoli

Btw, as the Itchio noise and all died down, Adult games are technically just banned now.

Some adult games are still being sold, yes, but if you get caught or reported or whatever, all your payment options will be yanked and only a husk remains.

Zero comments from Itchio on this, nothing, at all.

too pissed off to write, sorry

I was under the impression that the changes to Canada Post were union endorsed.....and now to find out that the union had no idea?
Fucking dipshit behaviour.

The government should be fucking ashamed of themselves.

I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves!

Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship

Apparently more people that I thought were intrigued by my newest wip in which I've lovingly called "post apocalypse industrial revolution"

In which everything started from a bad place, and then didn't get better :D

I'm fighting to keep it a short story.

I want a list of every fucking fascist sympathizer that clapped for Charlie Kirk in the House of Commons. That man said abortion was worse than the Holocaust, that black people aren’t smart enough to take white jobs, that COVID was a hoax and that children should watch public executions.
