Site of Replacement 3rd Precinct in ‘minneapolis’ Vandalized to Honor 2020 Uprising and in Solidarity with Palestine
Tumblr media
On November 2, 3 years 5 months since the colonized and enslaved masses of these lands brought the u.s.a. to its knees, the local administrators of settlerism in occupied Mni Sota Makoce–city council of so-called ‘minneapolis’–voted to approve a replacement site for the 3rd Precinct.
Located half a mile away from that fateful intersection where a three-day siege ended in beautiful triumph over the anti-Black pig power structure, the new precinct, at 2633 Minnehaha Ave, is being rebranded as a “Community Safety Center.”
Inspired by BRB on the west coast, Anti-Colonial Action Brigade (ACAB) paid a visit to the site early morning November 6. We tagged the building with ‘MNI SOTA TO GAZA,’ ‘OFF THE PIGS,’ ‘ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS,’ ‘FREE PALESTINE,’ ‘UPRISING 2 INTIFADA,’ ‘FUCK THE POLICE,’ FUCK ZIONISM,’ ‘FUCK 12,’ ‘DEATH TO AMERIKA,’ and smashed one window.
This small action should serve as a reminder and a warning that the rebels, insurgents, and looters of 2020 are still out there. The anonymous lumpen/prole rage of the oppressed may seem pacified for the moment, but all it takes is a single spark. Like Cop City, if they build it, we will burn it. Any attempt at construction will be met with destruction.
And finally, we are hoping to begin applying what we have learned from the Palestinian Resistance. What they have done in elevating anti-colonial struggle is both new and very familiar. Al-Aqsa Flood does not merely resemble the formidable traditions and histories of Indigenous and Afrikan resistance in this hemisphere. It has the potential to revitalize a living practice of militant attack from below, a total uncompromising hostility towards this genocidal settler empire.
When we look at it like that, Palestine is not so distant. Their war is our war. Death to zionism means death to amerika means death to the entire neo-colonial strangehold on the Third World.
With the prison break and guerrilla attack of October 7, the Palestinian Resistance has offered up a simple yet timeless lesson, brought to us through the blood of their martyrs over decades of protracted war: slaveholder-settler society must never know ‘safety.’
Whether in Palestine or in occupied Turtle Island, there is truly only one solution: Intifada, Revolution

ugh I am just SO OBSESSED with how weird Jabberwock Island is. Specifically in the Neo World program. Like, it’s eerily beautiful and temperate, but it never rains. What tropical island has no rain? The sun sets and rises at the same time every single day, I imagine the temperature is the same day in and day out too.  Do the stars move like the earth is spinning? Or are they forever fixed? Does the moon wax and wane?  I think it’s so interesting because it’s perfect in a simulated kind of way. The weather is always clear, the days are always long, but that’s just not they way humans experience life. It would be like living the same day over and over. Hell, maybe they ARE, maybe the program just repeats the same environmental programming each day. Maybe the same birds fly overhead at exactly 2:36 every afternoon, maybe the wind always picks up around 7:12.  If not for the added stress of a killing game, do you think anyone would eventually notice? If island mode lasted a few months, would they catch on? IDK, this just interests me narratively, and you probably have already noticed it in my fics lol. I can’t help it.

Far-Right Mass Shootings, May 2022-May 2023
Now that we know that the mass murderer in Allen, Texas was a far-right extremist and incel (as well as that puzzling but not-that-uncommon mix of being a racialized neo-nazi/white supremacist), we wanted to illustrate that mass shootings by the far-right are not aberrations with this list of similar events from over the last twelve months: December 23, 2022: A gunman opens fire in Paris, killing 3 Kurdish people & wounding 3 more in a plan to “kill non-European foreigners.” The attacker had just been released from prison after attacking migrants in Paris with a sword the year before. December 19-20, 2022: 22-year-old Anderson Aldrich enters a CO. gay bar with an assault rifle & opens fire, killing five and wounding 25 others before he is subdued. November 25, 2022: A 16-year-old former student storms two schools in Aracruz, Brazil, armed with two pistols and wearing a bulletproof vest emblazoned with a swastika. The teen shoots 16 people in the rampage, killing three of them. October 12, 2022: After posting an online manifesto against Jewish & LGBTQ+ people, a Bratislava, Slovakia teen shoots three people outside a local gay bar, killing two and wounding the third person before fleeing. The suspect was found dead the next day. September 27, 2022: Brothers Mark & Michael Sheppard are charged with manslaughter for opening fire on a group of migrants getting water near Hudspeth County, TX. One victim died from gunshot wounds, and one is recovering at an El Paso hospital. September 26, 2022: A gunman wearing a balaclava and a t-shirt with a swastika emblazoned on it enters an elementary school in Izhevsk, Russia, killing 15 people - 11 of them children - and wounding another 39 before turning the gun on himself. September 11, 2022: 53-year-old Igor Lanis’ obsession with far-right conspiracies ends when he guns down his wife, 25-year-old daughter, & family dog, before turning his shotgun on responding police, who shoot him dead. Only his daughter survives. August 9, 2022: A group of Black men helping someone jump-start a car in a Macon, GA. Wal-Mart parking lot are subjected to racial abuse by another man who then pulls a gun and begins shooting at them. May 15, 2022: 68-year-old David Wenwei Chou is charged with hate crimes after storming a Taiwanese church in Laguna Woods, CA. and shooting parishoners, killing one and injuring five others
May 14, 2022: An 18-year-old white supremacist opens fire in a supermarket in a black neighbourhood in Buffalo, NY, killing ten customers and wounding three others while livestreaming the attack.
May 11, 2022: A masked gunman walks shoots 3 Korean women working in a Dallas hair salon. Authorities believe the incident is connected to two earlier drive-by shootings targeting Asian-owned businesses in the Dallas area on April 2nd and May 10th. This is just a list of mass shootings committed by bigots, fascists, and far-right extremists over the last 12 months. We haven't included shooting with less than two victims, thwarted mass shootings, or any of bombings, stabbings, vehicle attacks, or other acts of violence.
In 2022 we documented 477 violent incidents motivated by hate or committed by bigots, fascists, or right-wing extremists, including 112 shootings. These attacks killed 366 people and injured 399 others. Read our 2022 report here. When we say anti-fascism = self-defence, we meant it. The endpoint for far-right ideology is mass murder. Fascists intend to do harm to our communities and will seize on any opportunity to hurt others. The only thing stopping them is ourselves. WE PROTECT US!

Why These Imperfect Korean ‘Moon Jars’ Sell for Millions
Old, round, imperfect and beautiful — that’s how fans of Korean art describe the moon jar, or “dalhangari.”
These unassuming, plain white pots have entranced everyone from rapper RM, of K-pop sensation BTS, to philosopher Alain de Botton.
The former director of London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, Beth McKillop, has called the moon jar an “icon of Korean identity.” And if price is any indicator of popularity, one recently sold for over $4.5 million at a Christie’s auction.
This month, a rare example from the late 17th or early 18th century will go on sale at Sotheby’s in New York, where it’s expected to fetch more than $3 million.
“A large moon jar has always been expensive, but I think the big uptick in prices and value is… because their appeal is now global,” said Angela McAteer, Sotheby’s international head of Chinese art for the Americas and Europe, over video call. “You’ve got an international cohort of bidders competing for them, so it’s gone beyond the traditional connoisseur collecting community of Korean art.”
Tumblr media
Huge price tags also result from the jars’ rarity. Although made for over a century in the royal kilns of Korea’s last kingdom, the Joseon dynasty, few are thought to exist today. Estimates for the number of larger ones (those more than 40 centimeters, or 15.7 inches, tall and wide) that have survived over the years range from 12 to 30.
Having passed through auction houses and antique dealers across the world, several of these are now in the collections of institutions like the British Museum and Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, as well as in the hands of private collectors.
‘Owning a piece of happiness’
The first moon jars were created in the royal kilns in Gwangju (a city just outside Seoul, not the larger southern city of the same name) from 1650 to 1750. They were made from pure white porcelain and kaolin clay, and, following the neo-Confucian fashions of their day, the pots reflected values such as propriety, humility, frugality and purity. They were likely used at court and in upper-class homes as containers for food and liquids, or as decorative vessels.
In the mid-20th century, moon jars began gaining international appreciation thanks to influential admirers such as Japanese folk crafts scholar Yanagi Soetsu and British potter Bernard Leach, who bought one from a Seoul antique store in 1935. Leach once said that having a moon jar was like “owning a piece of happiness,” and would later give his to fellow potter Lucie Rie for safekeeping during World War II. It stayed in her studio until her death and was later acquired by the British Museum.
Charlotte Horlyck, lecturer in Korean Art History at the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies, wrote in the Art Bulletin journal that after World War II the moon jar “caught the attention of an early generation of postcolonial Korean artists and scholars who sought to restore Korean art history and national identity,” as the pieces “resonated with the visual language of international modernism and minimalism of the mid-20th century while remaining a distinctly Korean work of art.”
The moon jar’s allure
When Sotheby’s announced its forthcoming sale, the auction house described its 44-centimeter (17.3-inch) moon jar as an object that inspired, astounded and soothed those who “stand in its presence.” It’s a funny thing to say about a pot, to speak as if it’s alive, but the jars’ visceral, emotional impact on people is something that comes up time and time again in the literature.
Tumblr media
Choi Sunu, a former director of the National Museum of Korea, has described the museum’s moon jars as being like companions, or muses that have inspired his writing and stirred his creativity. Bernard Leach admired the pots for their “natural unselfconsciousness.” In 2012, South Korea’s then-Unification Minister Yu Woo-ik used the pot as a metaphor symbolizing a reunified Korean peninsula (moon jars are created in two hemispherical pieces and joined in the middle).
More recently the rapper RM, of K-pop group BTS, posted a picture of himself hugging a modern-day moon jar on Twitter, telling fans that the pots made him feel calm.
“It’s hard for someone to really comprehend how a pot can make you feel that way,” said McAteer. “It has this real meditative presence. If you’ve sat in front of a great (painting by US artist, Mark) Rothko and you feel this kind of palpable energy emanate from it, and you could sit for hours and just feel something in its presence — the moon jar has that too.”
“The more you look at it, the more there is to see. It looks different from every angle,” she added. “We had real issues with the photography and the catalog because it looks like a different piece every time you rotate it, or you change the lighting. The surface is just alive, you know.”
“You can see how the glaze coalesces; you see these spontaneous bursts of this blush color that’s happening in the firing. You can lose yourself in its surface.”
Modern masters
Modern Korean potters have been inspired by the jars, and a number have come up with their own homages. Ceramist Kim Syyong covers his pots with a black glaze, while Yun Ju Cheol’s versions look spikier like a pufferfish and Choi Bo Ram’s unvarnished, textured blue vases have a denim-like quality.
Others, like Kwon Dae Sup, have looked to closely recreate the process used by the potters of yore. The 71-year-old ceramist produces unadorned white jars and allows for all the beautiful imperfections produced to shine through. He works out of a studio in Gwangju, where the royal kilns that produced moon jars were once located.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There’s a great deal of preparation that goes into making a moon jar traditionally. It’s labor-intensive: washing, sifting impurities from the clay, kneading and rolling it to remove air bubbles, carrying around these large hunks, not to mention hand throwing the clay itself to that oversized bowl shape without collapsing, and the work keeping a pine wood fire burning for 24 hours while the pot hardens in the kiln. Kwon also built his own kiln to replicate the old process as closely as possible.
“I do this because it’s fun,” he said in a phone interview. “Every time I make something, it’s novel … The quality of the material is different every time. The conditions in which I make the pots is new every time.”
Kwon said he also feels an emotional connection to the moon jar. As a student he was so moved by a one he saw in a Korean antique store that he decided they would be his life’s work. “They feel alive,” he said.
In a 2019 book on his work by Axel Vervoodt Gallery the potter is quoted saying he tries to produce art that needs no addition or subtraction. “I wish to create work that has an imposing presence but harmonizes with its surroundings regardless of where and when it is displayed. It should give peace of mind and a sense of comfort to all who look at it.”
By Christy Choi.

As Pride Month approaches, watchdog groups are warning that the neo-Nazi and vehemently anti-LGBTQ+ Proud Boys have big plans to disrupt events around the country. Many are worried they are going to get violent, as the group has a history of doing so.
Heidi Bierich, co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, told Business Insider that they are “seeing just a singular focus on LGBTQ people” from the Proud Boys and other far-right groups. “And I don’t see how we don’t end up having more violence next month. It’s frankly getting a little out of control.”

Lilies, chrysanthemums, and roses; all white. The details at the corners of the frame almost look like asters, but I'm not sure.
Lilies
From the shape of the petals, they look most like white lilium candidum or amaryllis belladonna. (There's also a type of lily sometimes called the resurrection lily.) Lilium speciosum have a similar shape, but they have longer stamen than the lilies in this artwork. "Lilies are the flowers most commonly used at funerals, where they symbolically signify that the soul of the deceased has been restored to the state of innocence." — x
"The Madonna lily, in particular, has been used historically to treat a range of ailments, including age-related conditions, ulcers and burns." — x "This symbolism has been mirrored in various cultural contexts, from art to literature, where lilies often appear as symbols of moral integrity and spiritual wholeness." — x "Their life cycle serves as a metaphor for transformation and renewal. Lilies begin as humble bulbs nestled beneath the earth, seemingly dormant, before bursting forth in a riot of colors and scents." — x "The basic chromosome number is twelve (n=12)." — x
Tumblr media
Chrysanthemums
"Chrysanthemums, also known as mums, are traditional funeral flowers in many countries around the world. In some European countries, chrysanthemums are symbolic of death and only found at funerals or on gravesites. In China, Japan, and Korea, white chrysanthemums carry a symbolic meaning of lamentation and grief." — x "It’s said that a single petal placed in the bottom of a glass of wine enhances longevity." — x "Eventually, people in Japan also found new ways to display chrysanthemum flowers in new ways. They started arranging them in different ways in flower beds or the shape of dolls." — x
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Due to the time of their blossoming, mums are featured prominently during the Double Ninth Festival celebrated by many Asian cultures on the 9th day of the 9th Month (September 9th to be more specific), which is a time where various autumn and cultural events take place." — x "According to legend, the dew of a chrysanthemum has the power to impart immortality; during the Heian period (794–1185), aristocrats would wipe their faces with dew-soaked cloth to pray for long life." — x
In some stories, chrysanthemums represent health. For example, the story of someone whose loved one is ill, having only a few days to live.
They confide in a third party, who tells them to retrieve a chrysanthemum—the number of petals are the days their loved one has to live (likely because of chrysanthemum's medicinal uses).
However, the flower they find only has a few petals, so they split the petals to make thinner ones, thus making it so that their loved one has more days to live. Most iterations use a mother as the person who is ill.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Roses
"Although they are most commonly associated with romantic love, roses can be a great funeral flower too. White roses evoke purity, reverence, humility and innocence." — x
"Sub rosa (Neo-Latin for 'under the rose') denotes secrecy or confidentiality. The rose has an ancient history as a symbol of secrecy." — x
"Rose trial grounds or rose test gardens are agricultural areas where garden roses are grown to be assessed for qualities such as health, floriferousness, novelty, and scent." — x

2023 Recap of Everyone’s Favorite Boy Group Girls
8:00PM || January 1, 2024
Tumblr media
There is no doubt that 2023 was a big year in the K-Pop scene, but there were moments with our favorite boy group girls that seem to have affected their lives greatly during the last 12 months.
Let’s take a look and see what has changed for them.
Tumblr media
MIYA - Graduation, Comeback, and Enlistments
BTS Miya had been on hiatus from being an idol ever since the end of the short digital promotions of ‘PROOF’ (aside from the 2022 Yet To Come concert and the last few months as MC of Show Music Core alongside NCT Jungwoo and SKZ Leeknow).
With the finals of her senior year in university ending in the first week of July, Miya marked the end of her idol hiatus by featuring on groupmate Jungkook’s single ‘Seven’ with a verse that surprised fans with its suggestiveness.
She then had her graduation, one all seven members of Bangtan were able to attend alongside her biological and her adoptive brothers. The BTS members posted a video of Yoonmi while they all gathered around her singing the song cover they had made in their earlier years entitled ‘Graduation Song’.
Not only did she graduate university, but it seems she graduated from the innocent makdungie image she had earned in her childhood and made a solo comeback for the first time since 2020 with a sexy concept.
Finally, the biggest change in Miya’s life may be the fact that she is facing life for the next half a year without any of her members by her side as the members of BTS all chose to enlist at relatively similar times in order to come back as eight as soon as possible.
Tumblr media
HANNAH - New Roommate, Song Writing, Styling
NCT Hannah admitted on an Instagram live towards the end of December how one of the biggest changes in the past year had been her living situation. Although living in the same building as always alongside the rest of NCT and WayV, her roommate situation changed.
For the first time after six years, Hannah and groupmate Mark stopped being roommates. Although Mark now only lives in the room next to hers, the space he used to occupy was filled by the one person Hannah likes to call her twin flame: Haechan.
The singular girl of NCT showed off her writing skills, filly taking over writing the lyrics for NCT Dream’s ‘Broken Melodies’ with some help from Mark. Though somewhat participating in writing before, this was the first time she had worked on verses that aren’t her own and worked on a whole song.
Hannah was also given the opportunity to become a stylist for the now 21 member group for the NCT 2023 comeback for ‘Golden Age’, ‘Baggy Jeans’, and the track videos and concept photoshoots the group had.
This opportunity extended to the NCT NATION: To The World concerts as well as to the Neo City The Unity tour which will continue into 2024. Hannah is rumored to be working on a product launch possibly for NCT merch of her design sometime in the following year, although sources are not 100% accurate.
Tumblr media
SERI - Kittens and Hollywood
TXT Seri is well-known in her fandom for wanting her own pet. She was fond of previous pets kept in the dorm such as Taehyun’s snake Aengdu and Soobin’s hedgehog Odi. She even expressed some affection towards Beomgyu’s parrot Toto despite having a fear of birds.
In the past year, the TXT dorm had earned a new pet to live with them: Seri’s cat Haengbok (or Bokkie, as called by her members). Haengbok was a 3-year-old cat that suffered a loss of home before Seri adopted him.
Haengbok not only accompanied them in their dorm, but throughout their tour as well. Members noted that, since adopting Haengbok, Seri had become less stressed and more efficient with managing her time and keeping herself on track.
Seri also faced a big opportunity in being presented the chance to sing for the official soundtrack of ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes’.
On a track produced by BTS Miya, Seri was able to showcase a different color of her vocals as she showcased her musical background and brought the story of Lucy Gray Baird to life through the song ‘Can’t Catch Me Now’.

ARI - Provider and Disney
Enhypen Ari has been the most quiet of the four in the past year, but fellow groupmate Sunoo revealed on Weverse live that Ari had taken a much bigger role in her family.
Beginning 2023, Ari had apparently decided to shoulder the tuition fee of her little sister for the rest of her school life. Sunoo noted that, while Ari’s parents told her she didn’t have to do so, Ari insisted she wanted to in order to repay them for their support towards her dance and now idol career.
Ari’s family financial background is not uncommon knowledge to many in the K-pop community, being a story of success through hard work and dedication. This fact alone was enough to make the community proud, whether a fan of her or not.
Ari was also given the chance to portray a brand new beloved Disney character by singing the Korean version of the official song of the movie ‘Wish’ entitled ‘This Wish’.
This was a showcase of Ari’s vocals that caught the attention of many people who only previously recognized her for her dance skills and stage presence. Because of this, Ari is now being seen as one of the 4th generation idols with the most star potential.

The year proved to be one of growth for the four boy group girls, posing them with opportunities to be tapped into for the next year and many more to come.
We wish them the best of years ahead and look forward to what they have in store for us in 2024.

The Wheel of the Year: A Comprehensive Guide.
The Wheel of the Year is a popular concept in neo-pagan circles and for beginner witches, but how much do you really know about it?
Tumblr media
If you're doing research on the Wheel of the Year (WotY) you should know that it is mostly made up by Gerald Gardner and a few others based on a proposed wheel of the year from Jacob Grimm (a mythologist, folklorist, and scholar) in the mid-1800s. The holidays are set on solstices, equinoxes, and at the mid-points of these celestial events throughout the year.
The holidays aren't fake, per se, but some of their names and traditions are, at least in the context of the WoTY.
I urge you to research these holidays in their own original context and learn about their cultural relevance.
A Short History
The WoTY holidays are based on actual holidays, many of them with their original (or close to their original) names such as Samhain, Bealtaine, Lughnasadh, and Imbolc which were celebrated by the Celts, specifically the Irish. The spelling of these holidays varies depending on where they were celebrated.
Lughnasadh is often wrongly conflated with the English holiday Lammas, another name that the Wiccans call the holiday. Lammas, however, is a holiday in its own right just as Lughnasadh is.
Yule was celebrated by Germanic people (and later Anglo-Saxons) and went by the name Old Norse jól or Old English geol. We don't know exactly when it was celebrated but it was eventually assimilated into the Christian holidays and it would be rescheduled to around that time as well after the Christianization of Norway.
Ostara is the name given to the spring equinox, named after the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eostre (who is a can of worms in and of herself whether she existed pre-Christianization or not). Ostara is another name coined by Jacob Grimm in his book Teutonic Mythology.
Litha takes place on the summer solstice and is conflated too often with Midsummer, a holiday celebrated widely (though very differently) around the world. The name comes from a book by Bede which describes a 12-month lunisolar Saxon calendar. Aidan Kelly, who named the holiday along with Mabon and Ostara, writes about this in his post "About Naming Ostara, Litha, and Mabon".
Mabon is made up, named after a Welsh god, but the date is that of the Autumnal equinox which was actually celebrated or at least observed by various cultures.
So what now?
No one is saying that you can't celebrate these holidays, but if you're going to do so then it's only respectful to learn about their history and original cultural context. You can add your own traditions to these holidays and incorporate them into your life and into your craft, but keep in mind where they originate and be respectful of their history.
Also, if you don't want to celebrate the Wiccan versions of the holiday, consider calling them by their other/original names; Mabon being the fall or autumnal equinox, Ostara being the spring or vernal equinox, and Litha being the summer solstice.
How do I research them?
Honestly, Wikipedia is a great place to start, it gives you a general idea and a bunch of sources and references at the end of each post. If you're looking for research tips check out my post on witchy research tips!
To my fellow occultists and witches: If you have anything to add to this feel free to comment or reblog with your info.
Edit: If you're looking for an Irish-accurate Wheel of the Year, check out this post by @fiagai-cnuasaitheoir !

In an exclusive interview with Dr. Brian Ardis, the physician revealed shocking information about the weight loss drug Ozempic and its potential side effects. The drug, which is injected by users to help them feel fuller for longer periods of time, has been reported to cause vomiting in some individuals, even after they stop using it. Dr. Ardis explained that this side effect may last for years, raising concerns about the desperation for weight loss solutions among certain individuals.
The molecule in Ozempic, says Ardis, is derived from Gila monster venom peptides, which has been used in various medical treatments and research. However, Dr. Ardis warns that the drug may increase the risk of thyroid cancer developing within 12 to 36 months after starting its use. This is reportedly because the venom peptides in Ozempic attack the thyroid gland, causing it to grow cancerous tumors.
Furthermore, Dr. Ardis discussed how the medical establishment often renames negative side effects as positive benefits, such as nerve growth factor. He also highlighted the potential benefits of nicotine patches and gum in combating COVID-19 and its long-term symptoms. According to Dr. Ardis, nicotine blocks the receptor sites targeted by the spike protein, making it a possible defense mechanism against the virus.
In addition, he mentioned that Lobelia herb, also known as Indian tobacco, can help mimic the effects of nicotine in the body. The FDA has pushed the myth that nicotine is addictive to cover up the natural healing potential of this botanical medicine, he warns.
The interview also touched on the End of COVID documentary series available on Brighteon University, which exposes the fraud behind modern virology and raises questions about the legitimacy of PCR tests and HIV/AIDS correlations.

Top 10 RWBY females that Jaune needs to be careful of for No Nut November.
10. Weiss: I put her at 10 because she looks like the person who would be upset that Jaune is doing the NNN but she doesn't want to look desperate either. She'll drop hints at him, but they won't work. After so many failures, she would be more assertive. Jaune will last 25 days.
9. Velvet: She tries to seduce Jaune, but because she is so shy about these things, Jaune doesn't realize what she is trying to do. Little by little she tries to be more assertive until she decides to use an aphrodisiac in Jaune's food. It was difficult to get it and but it was the best decision… at the beginning. What she didn't realize is that the aphrodisiac is very powerful and is combined with the aura of the individual so it can lasts longer. And because it's Jaune, this will last until the end of the month, maybe a little more. Jaune will last 20 days and Velvet will be happy and sore for 10 days.
8. Raven: She doesn't know what NNN is, she will just open a portal to Jaune's pants and use it like a dildo. But she would only do it when she was bored or feeling a bit horny. Jaune will last between 15- 18 days.
7. Winter: At first she doesn't care. Jaune is not too fond of her and she can work without distractions. But with the days her work is more stressful for some reason. She doesn't know why, she meditates, exercises, drinks her tea, but the stress is still there. Until she realizes that she didn't take something into account, Jaune. With this new information, she will create a plan. Jaune doesn't know it yet, but he's going to give her a good dicking. Jaune will last 15 days.
6. Yang: At first she would support Jaune, but then she would miss feeling his warmth. At first she would just need to snuggle with him, maybe a little brag here and there, but over time she wants more intimacy with Jaune. She wants to feel his hands touching her body, his voice whispering in her ear, his "sword" penetrating her "walls" ~ Wink Wink. In other words he will have 2 options, he fucks her or she fucks him. Jaune will last 10 days.
5. Blake: She's not going to mind Jaune doing the NNN thing. But he cannot stop her from getting what she wants either. By the time Jaune says no to her, that guy will be so fast tied up on the bed that he won't even realize he's naked too. Jaune will last 7 days.
4. Ruby: We know that she has an addiction for cookies. With Jaune she has an obsession. Behind that sweet little face, is a beast ready to attack. The moment Jaune lets his guard down, his pants are also going down. He will only last 4 days.
3. Pyrrha: Do you think this girl is going to sit still after seeing her beloved knight sweat every time they train, seeing his muscles flex with each movement, and hearing his moans in her ear when they practice wrestling locks? Yeah I don't thinks so. She won't stop until she can hear his voice moaning her name. He will only last 24 hours.
2. Kali: She is in second because instead of going to attack head-on, she draws in her prey. The moment she finds out that Jaune is doing the NNN, she starts her plan. Imagine the milf with the biggest ass in mini shorts, short skirts, micro bikini~ Jaune is strong, but not that strong. He will only last 12 hours.
1. Willow: Scene, you have a milf who was never loved properly and you put her in the same room with a handsome, affectionate and also muscular young man. What could happen? Well you guessed it, that lady will devour him completely. Willow won't let him get out of bed until she feels satisfied. He will only last 1 hour.
Honorable mentions (This is just for fun, not to many details)
Bleiss: She fucks him in the first second of NNN. She won't let her man do something so selfish.
Eve Taurus: She waits until the last day to fuck him, just to fuck with him and watch him fail.
Cinder: She will fuck him but won't let him cum until he begs.
Neo: She would enter his room at night and take what is hers~
Emerald: She would use her semblance to inappropriately touch Jaune in public knowing that he can't do anything or she would expose him.
Vernal: She just grabs Jaune and takes him to her room. In the end, he is her property.
Salem: She takes Jaune by force and gags on his cock until he cums.

Makoto's a war criminal is being an argument, and there's nothing I love more then being pedantic, so lets see what Geneva Conventions be argued as broken
For the sake of it I'm going to consider despair vs FF as something akin to a civil war, thus capturing the remnants would be prisoners of war
Convention (III) relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War. Geneva, 12 August 1949.
Article 13 - Humane treatment of prisoners
Prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated. Any unlawful act or omission by the Detaining Power causing death or seriously endangering the health of a prisoner of war in its custody is prohibited, and will be regarded as a serious breach of the present Convention. In particular, no prisoner of war may be subjected to physical mutilation or to medical or scientific experiments of any kind which are not justified by the medical, dental or hospital treatment of the prisoner concerned and carried out in his interest.
Well those in the Neo World program DEFINITELY were seriously endangered. While you could argue the experimental treatment was done in the interest of the remnants, the fact it went so badly and was illegally administered against the will of Future Foundation definitely breaks this.
Article 22 - Places and conditions of internment
Prisoners of war may be interned only in premises located on land and affording every guarantee of hygiene and healthfulness. Except in particular cases which are justified by the interest of the prisoners themselves, they shall not be interned in penitentiaries. Prisoners of war interned in unhealthy areas, or where the climate is injurious for them, shall be removed as soon as possible to a more favourable climate.
Depending on how safe Jabberwock island is, Makoto may be in violation of this. As a cluster of small artificial islands all of which have been abandoned, how safe is it? Is it at risk of hurricane or giant tropical storms? What are the facilities there? If they're completely on their own can it really be stated they have every guarantee of Hygiene and Healthfulness?
Article 55 - Medical supervision
The fitness of prisoners of war for work shall be periodically verified by medical examinations at least once a month. The examinations shall have particular regard to the nature of the work which prisoners of war are required to do.
Sorry Makoto, Mikan doesn't count I'm pretty sure.
That's at least three war crimes and I'm sure you could find more if you looked harder then I did, but even with the most CHARITABLE reading possible, the Neo World Program is 100% against article 13, he's a war criminal

Do you think you’ll make any more deltarune (specifically Addisons and Spamton) content? Be it art, comics, short animations, skits or anything else?
If anything scares me, it's Chapter 3 coming out.
If you follow this account, you'll know I LOVE tv heads/tv themed characters.
We pretty much have it certain that our chapter 3 guy is going to be a tv guy in some way/shape/ or form.
Meaning, if the allegations are true, I'm probably going to go insane and become insufferable when that happens.
Now as for the current time being...and our dear pal spamton and the addisons
Eviction Day took alot of power out of me that i haven't truly recovered from. (imagine having to draw that blue addison over and over again 12 hours straight for 4 months straight) so truthfully I'm a little burnt out by them.
Additionally, complicating the matter is I'm working on my college graduation film, Pretty Kitty!!, which, if you liked Eviction Day, this is Eviction Day but far more ambitious with stronger horror elements but with a fully original story.
Actually...Eviction Day was sort of test to see what I could get away with in the thesis film on the technical end...
But working on any film takes time, effort, and alot of my creative energy. This one in particular is draining my life force due to its' ambition (even my professors were concerned with just how ambitious it was).
Now, I DO have a few comic/art ideas, but whether i'll have the time and energy to create them is a mystery.
As far as animated stuff goes however, there will be no future spamton animations most likely.
However if you wanna imagine a new Corey spamton animation here is a Fun Fact
Eviction Day was 1 of 2 of the spamton animations I wanted to make!
There was another, however it never got past a few really rough storyboard thumbnails.
One thing a REALLY wanted to do was actually animate spamton transforming into NEO in a body horror type fashion because body horror is VERY fun to animate, especially in Spamton's case where I could make it horrifying in a physical and psychological sense.
However, what stopped me is was some friends saying that a few people may think the video was made for...less than tasteful.... reasons and may draw in the "wrong type of crowd" if you get what I'm saying.
They were a bit right with this as last time I made a body horror type video I got a few of those people in the comments.
So I made Eviction Day instead.
Will I ever make this video?
Probably not. But you can imagine it in your head.
In fact, just for you, here's those Really Rough Idea Thumbnails
Tumblr media
If you can read them, please let me know because I sure as hell cant.
