finarfin, snow and trust (if you want!)

Thanks so much @that-angry-noldo! This was the prompt I didn't know I needed on the bus ride home.

Taniquetil froze the blood before it fell.

Arafinwë considered the cut. A cold indifference filled him. He had thought it would be wrath, the course his heart would take for life at the sight of such a thing - it had been, once. But the heights of Valinor purified much.

“Art wounded, King,” said the Emissary. Great diplomat that he was, wise beyond the wisdom of Eldalië, he knew well when it was right to state the obvious.

“Tis nothing,” said Arafinwë. Hurt was no stranger to him. He had done himself worse injury, training in the long halls where he was king, down in fair and fretful Tírion. “Again.”

Eonwë's wings rustled. The false stillness of the sparring ring shuddered against itself. Outside its limits the snow danced madly, watching anxiously, eager. The wind howled, a single tuneful treble of a song. Manwë's wind, that saw all and in all sought harmony.

Such was his alarm, that some snowdrift broke through. Arafinwë shivered; the cold but more than the pain, made him weak at the knees and tender about the teeth.

“Thou art hurt,” said Eonwë, the very voice of the wind, mighty enough to make itself gentle. “Allow it not to be so.”

Arafinwë had bent his body and shaped his spirit to a goal so similar to the Valar's devotion to light, it was almost divine. The task he had chosen - demanded, in truth - took much from him, but nothing could be given if he was not willing to bleed for.

One had to be willing, and demanding, and true, if there was steel to be had in the name of trust, sentinels in the breezes that came bearing tiding from the East, a wise and beloved Emissary to be given to warwork for the use of the Children. Arafinwë's body was the least of the resources he meant to command, once the time came. He demanded much of it.

The snow fell upon the redness, gentle as a kiss.

Already the trust was true: it netted skin and tendon, fastened his wound nearly unblemished. Arafinwë had known it would be so.

It did not take long. He held out his hand and flexed his palms. Only a glimmer of frost remained to show the injury, and a sinking chill in his marrow up to the elbow.

Arafinwë raised the spear again, weighted the perfection of its balance in his palm. He could bear to be gracious, had staked continents on his games of trust and gratitude. It was difficult to account for the high wind in the heights; his cheeks prickled with a warmth both unbidden and unwanted.

When he raised his head Eonwë was watching him, as always he did: even and patient, absorbed in the watching as if it were almost a pleasure. His eyes, that saw into spirit as if through a thin mist, were gentle indeed; and Arafinwë knew, then, that the trust was well-warranted, that Eonwë never would mention the king’s tears, which were not due to the rending of the flesh.

One trust begot the other. Such was politics, and the opening of the heart. Arafinwë was king; he had not the right to make a fine distinction.

“That is better. Again,” he repeated, the thing that was not wrath howling beneath his every courtesy; and Eonwë raised his blade, obeying.

i would genuinely pick arsenal over city lol (i would pick dortmund but i don’t think they’ll win). arsenal mostly just because they do have some players i individually like and a city b2b treble would make my ears and eyes bleed

See I would've been with you a few months ago but there's this specific arsenal fan that ruined that entire club for me forever. Like they had the most vile things to say after Gavi's injury and unprovoked too it was disgusting. Not even RM fans were that evil so yeah fuck them

Prompt: Enjoy the Silence Adam Smasher/OC Summary: After a few hours in the chair, Victoria’s brewing headache is a predictable thing. Smasher takes steps to prevent it.

Silence is not a natural state of Night City. There was always sound from some source, from passing cars or firing guns, the hollering of drunkards or the screams of victims, the ever-present inescapable blasting of an advert somewhere.

Even on the Ebunike, dry-docked and ghostly, Victoria wasn’t free from the din of sound. No. If anything the Maelstrom who lingered around the ship made it their personal mission to fill any semblance of quiet and give her a splitting headache while they were at it. Banging and knocking against the ship’s hull, their music was always loud enough that the heavier songs trebled through her bones.

The later the hour, the louder they were. Usually.

Tonight it was quiet, the cold air crisp and dead of all noise.

And maybe if she wasn’t exhausted down to her bones, cyberdeck burning hot in her neck and a headache clawing at her temples, it would have made her uncomfortable, put her on edge as if something was wrong. It doesn’t. She sinks deeper into the shitty settee behind the ship’s bridge, breathing out the smoky caramel of her near-done cigarette and stretching out her legs. Groaning in relief as something pops in her right knee.

The bridge’s door slides open, whining and then stopping with a cha-thunk as its rusted mechanisms catch. She cracks an eye open, lips twitching at Smasher’s responding curse. He forces it open, pushing it all the way before he leans, near having to fold himself to get through. He doesn’t knock his head against the threshold this time. (Not that she was keeping count but – she was.)

“Awfully quiet tonight.” She says in place of a greeting as he plants himself beside her, knees spread wide. He hums low, head angled to keep his optics on her. “Usually my ears are bleeding with the wannabe-borgs shit taste in music.” She nods towards the dock, where said wannabes would nest like vermin. Huh, they didn’t even light any fires tonight either. Odd.

“I’m surprised you didn’t hear them screaming earlier.” He huffs, and not for the first time does she wonder how he manages the sound without lungs or a nose. “Was expecting them to put up more of a fight with all the shit they hoard.”

“More of a- you killed them?”

“I didn’t want to have to listen to you whine about a headache again so I told the gonks to keep it the fuck down tonight. They didn’t.”

“I do not whine, I—” She blinks as thought hits her, the left corner of her lip twitching upwards. “You killed them for me.”

“Don’t flatter yourself. I told them to shut up for you, I killed them because they didn’t listen.” Her grin gets wider, baring teeth and growing impossibly smug. “What?” A bark of a word.

“Oh, nothing.” She leans into him. Her cheek rests against his armoured bicep, both of her arms curling around a thick forearm and drawing it against her. “You utter sweetheart.” She croons, and for all his griping, he doesn’t complain now; simply sighing as his hand splays against her thigh, giving the meat of it a gentle squeeze before his fingers rub slow circles into the muscle. Her fingers trail their own path, ghosting along his forearm, tracing the subtle line of the panels that hid his arm cannon. “Did you record it?”

“Already uploaded to the shared files.” She smiles, the motion hidden against chrome as she turns to press a kiss to his arm before resting against him once more.

She’ll indulge in his bloodshed later, for now she sinks into him. Her eyes drift closed against the warmth of him and the not-unpleasant ministrations against her thigh, blanketed by the rare quiet of the ship.

She won’t recall when she fell asleep – but it was some point after he had rumbled ‘lazy bitch,’ low and fond.

MISSY V2 PATCH NOTES

- Old pickups (Curtis Novak JM-V/JM-FAT) swapped out for new pickups (Madlove JM-WR humbuckers)

- Added push-pull pot for coil splitting

- Added kinman treble bleed circuit (note: currently a non-factor. i fried the volume pot on accident and it has none of its taper anymore, instead staying at max volume until you set the volume to 1, at which point it cuts out)

- Changed volume pot value from 500k to 1 meg

- Swapped from d'addario 10-46 NYXL's to 11-52 XL'S

- Changed back to original color scheme (minus white pickup selector switch tip cuz i couldn't find it)

(thoughts under read more)

now see these are some damn good pickups. they definitely have those "single-coil characteristics" that people talk about w/ wide range humbuckers. they're smooth and loud but still have some sparkle and twang.

that said, I think i might still prefer the novaks purely because of the middle position on those. they were really bouncy and pleasant. and hum-cancelling. overpowered. i only switched to these because the wiring in my house was done by the actual devil and my room is a massive interference nexus. but i can't hear any noise over my playing now so this is a W. i've still got coil split anyway

and speaking of the coil split! i'm not like, blown away, but i do like how it sounds. outside of the volume drop, i mean. but i probably wouldn't be using the coil split live anyway. so a recording tool it is.

i am really enjoying the 11's over the 10's actually. they just feel more secure and have way more low end response. i just need to get used to bending with them and we'll be fine.

and god she looks gorgeous now. leeuwen definitely had the right idea with the color scheme. she's got that "i need to pick that thing up right now" factor

all in all, i'm satisfied except for the volume pot shenanigans. i will have to order new pots soon. and hopefully not melt the internals this time.

My Redragon Hylas (H260) Gaming Headset Review (w/ my Paper Dolls) - Part 2 (Final) [Jan 18th, 2023]

Hi! Here's Part 2 (Final) of my Redragon Hylas (H260) gaming headset (featuring my paper dolls). 🎮🎧😊

And in this part, I'm testing out my new gaming headset using my PC & my smartphone (Honor 8C).🎧➡️📱🖥️

If you haven't seen my Part 1, then please [CLICK ME!].

So, without further ado, let's get started:

My recorded video 🎦📲: (Pls watch.)

• Here it is, time for some audio test, and let's start with my (Windows 10) PC. As I unstrap the nylon cable, I quickly show you this awesome-looking splitter, and tugging the nylon braided numerous times to show how strong this cable is before 💪 I uncap these protectors & plug these three onto my computer. 🙂🎧➡️🖥️

• Aside from the sound quality from two earmuffs, my headset lit up the RGB lights! How cool is that!? 😃💡🎧 Even better when I turn off the lights for a true coloring lit! However, I've noticed a big bleeding light because of their cheap thin plastic. Still, looks cool though. And what better pair than my current mechanical keyboard from the same brand as my headset! 😁🎧⌨️💡

26th to 30th Image(s): ↑

• And here are some pictures of what RGB light should look like. Unfortunately, I can't adjust nor customize my likings (namely my favorite color → 💙) with the RGB light, as it's already predetermined to subsidize the cost. Such a shame...😕

• Now, what about the sound quality? Well, according to the official manual, the Hylas (H260) uses a 50mm dynamic driver unit to improve sound quality while playing games. And no, it didn't include a surround audio feature, like other expensive gaming headsets. I've listened some music, videos from youtube & other audio softwares with my new gaming headset for 2 to 3 hours, I even compare it with my current ZNT headset to determine which is the better sound. And my thoughts about the Hylas were, fairly decent, but not great. 😕 When I listen to bass-related music, it went muffled sometimes. The same goes to vocals & voices from listening/watching Youtube videos, they're often ruining the quality. And the separation, the treble, and other important tones? Well, subpar... Nothing new on the audio table. And in terms of better sound between the Redragon Hylas & the ZNT Soundfit, surprisingly (or unsurprisingly), the ZNT Soundfit edges out over the Redragon Hylas. Yes, while the ZNT has unbalanced & lacks bass, it's surprisingly a bit better than the Redragon Hylas. I doubt it, I know... Gee, I can't find a better headphone to surpass my two current headphones/headsets...🙄

• Comfort, on the other hand, the Hylas fits right in my head! I haven't experienced cramps or squeezing during my music time or watching videos. However, it tends to slip when I shake my head, but at least it holds pretty well. And actually, this is what I prefer over my ZNT SoundFit's tight & claustrophobic fit. So, that's a plus for me. 👍

• The mic is pretty decent. While it's not anti-noise cancellation (like their earmuffs), it gets the job A-Okay (I guess). One thing that bothers me is their weak bending of the mic, I hated it. 👎 If only this thing can detach, too...

31st & 32nd Image(s): ↑

• [31st Image] On the bright side, we appreciate the RGB lights! Right, you two!? ☺️💡🎧 Let's give another try wearing my new headset! 😊

• [32nd Image] Okay, whoa! Whoa! 😮 These two need a private room! lol 😅

33rd & 34th Image(s): (Taken from my family's smartphone w/ another brand)↑

• And finally, I've tested out with my current smartphone using the included audio splitter cable onto my new headset. 🎧📲 Again, the Hylas' signature sound was the same as before, and I would prefer my current ZNT headphones. My paper dolls seem to be having fun though. 🙂

Overall & Asking price:

• Well, my lil' brother told me this is the best budget gaming headset... But, my mind said otherwise. Yes, it is indeed a good budget headset, but a lot of tweaks & replacements, including the sound driver, could improve better, let alone the cheap plastic material that they used. So overall, if don't want a break your wallet & going for the budget route of headphones, then the Redragon Hylas gaming headset could be your decent option. 👌🎧 But, for die-hard headphones, fans & headset enthusiasts, look elsewhere. 🖱️

• The Redragon Hylas costs from ₱795 ($14,60) to ₱850 ($15.61) from PixelPlay on Lazada PH [CLICK ME!] 🛒🌐🇵🇭, and its available in three different colors: Black, White (mine), and Pink.

Well, that's the end of my topic!

If you want to see my REAL top 5 rank “Year in Review” post & "My Yearend Techs & Misc. Items Summary - 2022", then please click these → [CLICK ME! #1], [CLICK ME! #2]. 😉

EVH has updated its MIJ Series with the Signature Wolfgang electric guitar – a model that finds itself between the premium USA and affordable Mexican-made iterations of the Wolfgang template.

youtube

But this version of Eddie Van Halen's signature guitar is not only notable for its middle-ground price bracket and its faithful spec sheet – its Japanese origins are also significant.

Japan is, after all, a country whose guitar-building exploits are closely linked with Eddie Van Halen, who throughout his career played numerous models that were built in the Fujigen factory.

Examples of Van Halen's own assortment of Japanese-built guitars include his bolt-on Flying V and lbanez destroyer, as well as an assortment of Japanese Strats.

This MIJ Wolfgang, then, takes on an even greater layer of meaning for Van Halen fans.

Arriving in the same classic Ivory and Stealth Black colorways found on the USA Edward Van Halen Signature, the MIJ model also features an identical basswood body with Big Leaf maple top, as well as a bolt-on quartersawn maple neck.

The neck profile, as was the case with the USA six-strings, has been crafted to Van Halen’s exacting specifications, and is complemented with a 12”-16” compound radius ebony fingerboard that flashes 22 stainless steel frets.

It’s worth noting the Stealth Black version is adorned with pearloid dot inlays, while the Ivory variant opts for pearloid block inlays.

Other direct similarities to the top-of-the-line Wolfgang include the EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo with EVH D-Tuna, R2 locking nut, heel-mount truss rod wheel and 25.5” scale length.

In the electronics department, EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 bridge and Alnico 3 neck humbuckers are wired to a three-way toggle switch and a kill switch. The volume control features a low-friction pot and treble bleed circuit, while the tone knob has a high-friction pot to avoid accidental rolls.

The MIJ Wolfgangs have been a long time coming, after EVH co-runner Matt Bruck told Guitar World of the brand’s plans to reignite its Japanese links.

“Ed’s history with Japanese guitars predates Van Halen’s records,” Bruck said at the time. “He played a bolt-on Flying V and an Ibanez Destroyer during the club days, which were both built by Fujigen. People also don’t know that Ed did a lot of experiments on Japanese Strats before and after the first record.”

“We’re super-excited to do something with Fujigen and for the Japanese market. People in America and around the world will be able to access those models, too.”

As mentioned above, the MIJ Signature Wolfgang sits between the $4k USA model and $750 Mexican version, and will be available for $2,699.

To find out more, head over to EVH.

Okay!! I swear tomorrow is the day I get caught up skldjfdslf I officially have no more commitments, no uni work, nothing but writing from here on out (I hope anyway kljdfkgd) 🥰💖

Also on AO3!!!

DAY NINETEEN: SACRIFICE

Beca was trying to figure out how she’d gotten here. This sort of thing happened in bad horror movies, it wasn’t a real thing, and yet here she was tied spread eagle to a table, duct tape over her mouth, a group of hooded figures huddled around her chanting it Latin. Seriously, what was happening to her?

It wasn’t like the group of hooded figures were strangers to her, it was those god damn Treble Makers. Aubrey had been right, they were ding dongs... especially Jesse, freaking Jesse who had drugged her and knocked her out when he’d offered her a ride back to her dorm after their late shift at the radio. God she was going to kill him when she got free.

Beca pulled at the ropes she was tied down with again, looking for the slightest bit of give but all she succeeded in doing was chaffing her wrists more, trying not to show the pain on her face as they started to bleed from the force of her struggling. No way in hell was she going to let these assholes see any amount of emotion from her beyond anger. Because yes, Beca was confused and in pain and terrified, but no way would they know any of that.

“Alright boys, you know the drill.” Bumper smirked as the chanting stopped, eyeing Beca who glared hatefully back at him, “Everybody lets a little blood but as captain I get the final blow. Gotta secure our win again this year, make history as the first acapella team to win six consecutive ICCA titles in a row!”

Beca’s nostrils flared as she struggled even harder. They weren’t actually going to kill her right? That was insane, there was no way they’d kill her, certainly no way they’d gotten away with it for the last five years, girls didn’t just go missing and no-one noticed...

Right?

Beca started as her feet began to move upwards, a whirring noise filling the uncomfortably silent room as the table tilted her so that the top of her head was a mere inch and a half from the floor. Try as she might to contain her fear, Beca’s breathing became shallower as her eyes darted around her, catching sight of numerous glinting and sharp blades. No fucking way. This was a really bad dream, nothing more. Any second now Beca was going to wake up to find Kimmy-Jin glaring at her for the audacity of having a nightmare in her vicinity.

“Jesse gets first cut, he’s the one that brought us this hot piece of ass.”

Beca snarled as her head started to spin a little from the blood rushing to it, glowering at the upside down form of the guy she had once called a friend and was now severely regretting that decision.

“Sorry Becaw.” He shrugged, grinning toothily as Beca’s eyes fixed on the sharp knife in his hand, “Bros before hoes.”

Beca growled something intelligible from behind the tape as she struggled as hard as she could, tugging and yanking at the rope. No way. She couldn’t let them do this. Someone would come looking for her any minute, someone would know she was here and they’d rescue her. Sure, she wasn’t really close to her dad, Kimmy-Jin actively hated her, and she was fairly certain that the Bellas who did like her still wouldn’t really notice if she was gone but... someone had to notice. They had to.

Beca grit her teeth as she felt the blade press into her arm, determined not to show she was in pain as the pressure increased. Jesse dragged the knife slowly down her arm, Beca’s toes curling inside her boots as she felt it tear her skin, panting a little as blood began to trickle down her arm.

When Jesse stepped back, Beca’s eyes flicking to the long, deep wound that stretched from inside her elbow to just below the tattoo that read “c’est ne pas moi”. It burned as Beca continued to struggle, albeit less furiously than before as she pushed back at the tears starting to well in the corner of her eyes. These assholes weren’t going to make her cry on top of everything else.

She could do this, she just had to hold until someone came to get her. Because someone had to be coming to get her, there had to be someone in her life that cared enough to come and find her. She was supposed to be at rehearsal tonight, Aubrey had called a last minute practice before the qualifiers next week, they’d see she wasn’t there...

But she had complained bitterly about it... what if they thought she’d just blow the Bellas off? That she had just bailed on them, would they even think to see why she hadn’t turned up? God... that was why they’d picked her, nobody was going to look for her were they?

No.

She couldn’t afford to spiral like this. If she spiraled then she’d stop fighting, and if she stopped fighting, she was dead for sure.

Beca watched as another Treble stepped forward, feeling lightheaded and woozy as the blood from her wound ran down her hand and more of it rushed to her head. Fuck... she was going to pass out before they were finished, she couldn’t pass out because then she couldn’t fight them, she couldn’t survive this if she did.

A soft grunt was muted by the tape over her mouth as Beca felt a knife dig into her other arm, slicing straight down as it split her praying mantis tattoo in half. Dammit. She liked that one. Trebles and blades continued to switch out, Beca no longer able to hold back her tears or her muffled cries of pain as each new cut broke down her resolve.

By the time they had finished, each of them making two cuts, Beca was breathing heavily, blood running down her body from the numerous cuts that now littered her arms, her chest, her legs, and the most vicious one of all across her stomach from hip to hip, left by Bumper and had caused an audible shriek from Beca as his knife cut through several layers of skin.

The table moved back into its original position, Beca shaking and weak as she lay limp on the unforgiving surface. No-one was coming to find her, she was going to die here, alone and in agony, a victim of whatever sick and twisted idea they had that would somehow help them win the ICCA’s. It was a goddamn acapella competition, it wasn’t worth her life.

The tape was ripped from her mouth, Beca grunting as it was and glaring at Bumper from under hooded lids.

“Any last words bitch?” He sneered, Beca dull with pain and defeat.

“Fuck you.” She spat, “You won’t get away with this asshole, you’ll rot in prison for the rest of your miserable life for this. I’m sure some big guy is gonna love making you his bitch.”

Bumper simply laughed at her, shaking his head before nodding to Jesse. Beca watched him step forward with a blindfold in hand, struggling weakly as he tied it tightly around her head. Oh now they were blindfolding her?! Now they were going to kill her, she wasn’t allowed to see them do it, she couldn’t make them look her in the eye as they murdered her?

Beca felt the tip of a blade press against her chest, hands balling into fists as she pursed her lips together. Fuck. FUCK. This was it, this was how she was going out. God she really shouldn’t have come to Barden, she should have ignored her parents and gone to L.A. anyway. She was half expecting her life to flash before her eyes but the only thing in her minds eye were flashes of brilliant red hair and impossibly blue eyes, of easy smiles and soul warming giggles.

Chloe...

God she should have taken a shot with her. Talk about death bed regrets.

“Just do it asshole.” She snarled, the tip of the blade still resting on her chest, “Just do it! You’re a coward, you can’t even look me in the eye while you do it, if you’re going to kill me then just get on with it!”

The tip moved and Beca braced herself for the swing that would end her life. But as she did, Beca heard yelling and thudding. What the hell was going on? The ropes around her wrists suddenly gave way, her ankles freed too as the blindfold was gently lifted from her eyes, Beca looking up at the stranger in the bulletproof vest who was smiling kindly at her.

“Hey. You’re okay now. I’m Detective Williams, those punks really did a number on you huh?”

Beca managed a snort as her eyelids fluttered shut, the reality of the blood loss and her injuries beginning to settle in her body. A gentle shake to her shoulder stirred her again as Beca tried to focus herself on the detective and what she was saying to her.

“C’mon Beca, stay with me. That’s it. We’re going to get you to the hospital but until then you just need to stay awake okay?”

“Okay...” Beca mumbled, barely audible, “H-how did you find me?”

“You have a very persistent group of friends.” Detective Williams chuckled fondly as two paramedics joined them, “The blonde one, Aubrey? She came to us with a file an inch thick about girls that had gone missing around this time every year. We might recruit her once she’s finished college, she’d make quite the investigator.”

“A-Aubrey?” Beca frowned slightly, “I thought she hated me...”

“No-one who works that hard to get us to listen and save your life could hate you.” Detective Williams raised an eyebrow, “They’re clearly very fond of you Beca. Especially the redhead.”

“Chloe...” A small smile tugged at Beca’s lips before she winced as one of the paramedics pressed a dressing to the deep wound on her stomach, “I- I- can I see her? Is she here?”

“Once we get you into the ambo you can.” The detective promised, “She’s outside, but I want to preserve the scene. Is she your girlfriend or something?”

Beca snorted again, “I wish...”

“Well for what it’s worth...” Detective Williams beamed at Beca, giving her hand a gentle squeeze as a soft whimper left Beca’s lips as the paramedics continued to put dressings on the painful wounds all over her, “I think she likes you too. No-one gives a vic description like she did if you’re not at least a little in love with them.”

Beca laughed softly, wincing as she did. She felt so heavy, so weak... but it was okay. Someone had come to rescue her, she didn’t have to be strong anymore. Beca could just rest now.

“Hey, Beca... just a little longer now, c’mon.”

Beca blinked slowly as she felt herself be lifted onto a stretcher, an oxygen mask slipped over her face as the detective kept pace with the now moving gurney.

“Chloe’s just outside that door, she’s dying to see you. Stay awake for her huh?”

Beca nodded a little, trying to keep her mind clear as she looked around her. This was a really ugly house...

“Becs?!” Beca’s head turned to the left as the cold night air hit her, stirring her a little as her eyes found Chloe’s, “Oh my God!”

“Chlo...” Beca frowned as she realised the mask was hiding what little could be heard of her voice, but as she raised her hand to move it, it was gently moved away.

“You need to keep that on Beca.” One of the paramedics smiled softly at her, “Chloe can come with you to the hospital though if you want?”

Beca nodded, ignoring the pain that shot up her arm as she reached for Chloe’s hand. Chloe grasped it tightly as she climbed into the back of the ambulance with her, tears in her eyes as they roamed over Beca.

“Oh Beca... what did they do to you?” Chloe whispered, “I got them to come as quick as I could, I promise I did. I’m so sorry...”

Beca shook her head, frowning a little as she squeezed Chloe’s hand, “Not your fault weirdo...”

“Are you in pain?” Chloe asked, “Can you give her something?”

“That’s what I’m doing now.” The paramedic in the back with them reassured Chloe a little, “This is going to make you feel better Beca, but also really tired. I need you to try and stay awake though, okay?”

Beca nodded a little, her eyes locked with Chloe’s as she felt a warm, fuzzy feeling spread across her body, replacing the pain. Oh... there was the exhaustion... god it was so heavy, so welcoming... she’d had such a long day...

“Becs?!” Chloe’s hand gripped hers tighter, “Hey, come on, they said you had to stay awake, we’re almost there, you can do this!”

“S-sorry...” Beca mumbled, the world fading away as she heard Chloe calling her name again.

-----

It was with a soft groan that Beca regained consciousness, vaguely aware of the pain she was in as she shifted a little, heavy eyelids fluttering open.

“Hey Beca.”

A familiar voice filtered through the fog in her head as Beca turned it to find Aubrey smiling softly at her.

“Welcome back. How’re you feeling?”

“Aubrey?” Beca mumbled, face creasing in confusion, “Am I dead?”

“No.” Aubrey chuckled, reaching out to give her hand a soft squeeze, “No you’re way too stubborn for that.”

“I thought you hated me...” Beca swallowed thickly, a smirk tugging at her lips, “But you lovvvve me, don’t deny it Posen. You’re sitting by my hospital bed, looking all worried...”

“That morphine’s pretty good huh?” Aubrey raised her eyebrow, “For the record, I never hated you Beca. Sure, you annoy the crap out of me most days, but you’re a Bella, which makes you my sister. No way I’d ever let those ding dongs do anything to you and get away with it.”

“Thanks Aubrey.” Beca’s smile was a watery one, uncharacteristic tears running down her cheeks, “You saved my life dude, Bumper he- he was about to kill me when those cops burst through the door...”

“Hey.” Aubrey was holding back her own tears as she shook her head a little, “No way I was going to let that happen. Even if I’d have had to kick their asses myself.”

Beca giggled at this, “I’d pay good money to see that... where um... where’s Chloe?”

Aubrey’s face broke into a knowing smile, “I sent her home a few hours ago to shower and sleep. You’ve been out for nearly two days and she hasn’t left your side since.”

“Really?” Beca grinned.

“Beca!”

Beca grunted softly as a weight landed on top of her, Chloe’s face buried in her neck as she hugged her tightly. Aubrey suppressed a chuckle as she got up, waving her fingers at Beca as she left them alone.

“Chlo... many injuries that hurt when you squeeze them...” Beca’s voice was tight as Chloe sprang away, tears running freely as she gasped.

“Oh god, I’m so sorry!” There was guilt in every line of her expression as she got off the bed, settling for holding Beca’s hand in hers instead, “I just- I’m so glad you’re okay, I was so worried about you, you were really hurt...”

“I’m okay.” Beca smiled softly at her, “Morphine helps with that, but I’m okay.”

Chloe grinned as she giggled softly, pressing her cheek against Beca’s hand.

“I really am glad you’re okay Becs.” She whispered, “I was really scared for a second there.”

“Me too.” Beca pursed her lips a little, “I really thought I was going to die Chloe... I fought like hell but it wasn’t enough, I couldn’t-”

“Hey, hey...” Chloe’s brow furrowed as Beca started to sob softly, gently running her fingers through her hair, “You’re okay. You’re safe now. A little cut up sure, but nothing that won’t heal eventually. And hey, you’ll have some badass scars out of it too...”

Beca scoffed slightly through her tears, “You like scars huh?”

“I like you.” Chloe squeezed Beca’s hand, smiling warmly at her, “ A lot Beca. When I thought I’d never see you again I... I couldn’t bear it.”

“I like you too.” Beca grinned, “I might be on a morphine high right now, but I really really do Chloe. I want to kiss you so bad...”

Chloe giggled as she leant forward, nose brushing against Beca’s, “Well then kiss me weirdo.”

Advice to Work on Yourself 🍎 in September 2022: Aquarius

Page of Swords rev - Page of Pentacles - Justice & 9 Swords rev

Regarding: The World

I’ve got two stories here, one is for you alone and one is for if you’re dealing with someone else. Either way you’re at the end of a cycle in your life, you’ve learned the lessons, you’ve been hurt, and you’ve overcome a lot of difficulties in regards to what you’ve since released. Now your focus is on Ace of Wands, an inspired, exciting, and beautiful new beginning on some other lane than you were on before. If you’re dealing with someone else, it could be someone you’ve stopped talking to or left behind…with good reason. They could be sending messages of guilt, apologizing, trying to worm their way back in the door. If that’s the case then I see this person as a liar and manipulator, and the advice is to not even respond and close the door for good.

If there is no person then the advice is for you to heal silently, move silently, don’t talk about your plans or your pain, just keep going. You don’t owe explanations to anyone. If you’re meeting new people, let the old stuff go, even talking about it tends to bring up emotions in yourself that aren’t good for you and could halt your progress. The last row here is very important. Justice & 9 Swords rev, cut that shit off, see ya, bye. While it is important to honor how you feel, your own feelings could be working against you, tricking you into a desire to move back towards people and things that have hurt you. This last row says you are 100% justified in cutting off what has hurt you, screw all that mess. Don’t allow guilty feelings, should’ve could’ve etc., or abandonment issues (yours or theirs) to change your mind. You were right the first time. The Star concludes this energy by celebrating your own healing. Something is clinging to you like a tick, pull out the tick and heal from it, it’s no good and you know it ⭐️

Animal Oracle: Snow Leopard 🐆

“Take some time out of your usual life and spend it in solitude.”

It can be difficult to spend time in solitude these days, to unplug from electronics and get into nature, or off by yourself, if only for a few hours. Although you may feel anxious or restless when you first do this, you’ll relax. Use this time for contemplation and meditation, it’s not isolation, it’s solitude. If possible, take a full day off to yourself, and do whatever you want to do. Enjoy the feeling of sacred space around you in solitude, and know you’re never alone.

Artist Oracle: GRAYSON PERRY

- Scratch at the surface until your fingers bleed.

- Meaning separates art from crafts.

- Try something new, the old-fashioned way.

Advice:

- Add Fiber to Your Diet

- Improve Your Posture

Charms:

Treble Clef 🎼 on Snow Leopard shows music being very important to your healing journey, or it’s something you normally do or should do while you’re alone. Music is a powerful tool that can help or hinder. If you’re listening to music that brings up painful memories, stop after one. There’s a fine line between remembering and rumination. Newer music is probably the best companion to a new path. All music is new if it’s new to you 😊

Black Swan 🦢 on 5 Pentacles shows ICK. Intense ick. You could have some deep and rather dark experiences. Whether you or someone else, this Swan is manipulating your feelings from a place of need, yours or theirs. Or they’re trying to. This is either someone or yourself playing off of your own emotions to elicit guilt, apologies, money, help. None of this is positive for you and will only hold you back. Your goal is moving forward, to things that really excite and inspire you! 🔥 If you’re feeling the ick creepin up, change course, do something else, consciously focus on moving away from any of that lingering energy.

Geist Playlist #1

youtube

A playlist of music that has inspired my novel, Geist. "I don't ever wanna let you go You're the only one who lets me in But every time I try to hold my own Yeah, I can never seem to get a grip And I don't ever wanna give you up I always say I'll get ahead of it But every time they try to fix me up I get addicted to the medicine" --Excerpt from "Medicine" by Gus Dapperton

youtube

"So destined I am to walk among the dark A child in keeping secrets from (Will they know what I've done in the after?)

In the sought for matter when the words blame you In a blood red summer, I'll give you (I don't want it, don't want it, don't want it)

And when the answer that you want Is in the question that you state

Come what may, come what may When in the answer that you want Is in the question that you state Come what may, come what may

What did I do to deserve- What did I do to deserve This, this?"

--Excerpt from "Blood Red Summer" by Coheed & Cambria

youtube

"Over ice, I'm freezing Beautiful eyes, deceiving We may die this evening Coughing, wheezing, bleeding High, I'm an anxious soul Blood moons are my eyes, stay low Red and black, they glow Under attack, in my soul When it's my time, I'll know Never seen a hell so cold Yeah, we'll make it out, I'll know We'll run right through the flames, let's go"

--Excerpt from "Righteous" by Juice Wrld

youtube

"This life is a gangster - will take it all from you so fast. This world is a gangster - will fuck you, then kill you, then laugh. Oh the below frozen wind has turned bone to icicle and I've seen such pretty faces grow blue, bloated and cold."

--excerpt from "Survival Pt. 1" by Ceschi

youtube

"Malcolm X never lived to see the government fall But the state he opposed made him a stamp Maybe that's the best you can hope for if you never give up: Your enemies will teach your corpse to dance

And you and me, buddy We've been living for a ghost when we ain't been sticking our heads in the sand So when I'm afraid take me by the hand And show the world that we can't be planned

It's alright, it's okay It's just that everything's fucked" --excerpt from "Take Me By the Hand and Lead Me Through This Disaster" by Pat the Bunny

youtube

"You'll never make me leave I wear this on my sleeve Give me a reason to believe

So, give me all your poison, and give me all your pills And give me all your hopeless hearts and make me ill You're running after something that you'll never kill If this is what you want, then fire at will" --excerpt from "Thank You for the Venom" by My Chemical Romance

TBH the entire Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge album has provided immense inspiration.

youtube

"Looking back at sunsets on the East side We lost track of the time Dreams aren't what they used to be Somethings slide by so carelessly Smile like you mean it"

--excerpt from "Smile Like You Mean It" by The Killers

youtube

"I got my eyes wide shut, screaming I'm not afraid of loving Bring me up, 'cause I'm so used to feeling nothing Eyes wide shut, screaming I'm not afraid of loving Fuck me up, 'cause I'm so used to feeling nothing"

--excerpt from "EYES" by Cold Hart & YAWNS ft. Rawska

youtube

"The bass, the rock The mic, the treble I like my coffee black Just like my metal With the bass, the rock The mic, the treble I like my coffee black Just like my metal 'Cause I can't wait for you to knock me out In a minute, minute In a fucking minute I can't wait for you to knock me out In a minute, minute In a second" --excerpt from "Shut Me Up" by Mindless Self Indulgence

youtube

"Well I could spew some cinematic apology But it wouldn't do no good The damage is done, so now all we do is run And pretend our choices haven't killed the best in us We'll fly a white flag, and both say everything we had never meant anything at all And when I'm not passed out, and I'm really sleepin' I'm always dreamin' of you" --excerpt from "Damaged Goods" by Days N Daze
