jing yuan

Jing Yuan could still feel the pain in his back after that night and his ass hurt like shit that he can't even sit down properly. Yanqing knows the general is old, but there's something wrong. His eyes landed on Jing Yuan's neck, seeing some bruises.

"General, did you get bitten by some mosquitoes?" Yanqing asked.

"Mosquitoes? What makes you say that?"

Yanqing pointed out to the male's neck, "Those bruises on your neck."

"Oh?" The general rubbed his neck before giving the boy a soft chuckle, "You'll understand when you're older."

"Eh?! I'm not a kid! I'm old enough!" The boy remarked. Jing Yuan just patted the boy on the head, "You're mature, but not too mature."

"H-hey…"

caelus

March felt awkward around the trailblazer and she was too afraid to point it out on why. She's not the only one who noticed it, the Express noticed, too. It's oblivious that Caelus isn't hiding it so well since they're exposed. They just left your home planet, giving you a good-bye after they seal the stellaron, Caelus was the last to enter the express with hickeys on his neck and collarbone.

"...What have you and Mr. [Y] been up to?" The pink haired photographer asked the male.

"Stuff…" Caelus blushed.

"Stuff, huh…?" March deadpanned. "You mean leaving some marks. You're still exposed."

Feeling embarrassed by this, the trailblazer hides his marks from the others. God, it was embarrassing.

luocha

"Goodness me…" Luocha mumbled while rubbing the spot where you left some marks. "I should be glad that my body isn't too exposed. My clothes covered my body completely."

"Oi. That's not fair. I want everyone to see it." You grumbled, wrapping your arms around the male's neck from behind. "To let them know that you're mine."

"I can understand that, but I have some business to attend to…" the blonde sighed. You sulked then sucked on the male's cheek, causing him to let out a shriek, "W-what are you doing? Are you trying to eat my face? L-luv!"

—

"Wow, did you get bitten by some?" Sushang pointed at the bite mark on Luocha's cheek.

"A dog bit my face…" Luocha answered with a blank expression on his face.

"O-ok…"

sampo

This is an unexpected surprise. Sampo is wearing a tank top underneath to hide his exposed body. It was weird and suspicious, why is he hiding them now? He blames you.

"That's new. Were you cold?" Seele asks the con-man.

"No. Felt exposed." Sampo answered.

"Huh? You didn't even care that you were exposed, why are you covering them up, now?" The butterfly pointed. She paused when she spotted you passing by and then she realized, "Don't tell me…"

Sampo turned flustered red with embarrassment. The great Sampo, embarrassed. You know how to tease and manipulate the poor male.

"My body hurts…" Sampo whined.

"Cannot believe I'm saying this, but…I feel bad for you."

"You should be!"

gepard

You're not too rough on him, but you did leave some marks on neck that the Silvermane Guards noticed that it was hard to avoid.

"Uh…Captain…"

"What is it?" Gepard turned to the soldier.

"Sorry if this is…out of nowhere, but are you feeling well?"

"What do you mean…?"

"Well…you have those marks on your neck. It becomes unavoidable to us."

Gepard was going to question the soldier first, but soon realized that you had marked him as yours last night. No wonder Serval was holding back laughter. The poor captain covered his neck.

"[Y]..."

dan heng

Dan Heng stroked the bite marks that were given by you. He was pissed off at how rough and aggressive you were with him. You're not sorry for what you did. A hickey is a hickey, so he's all yours.

"You have no need to go this far." Dan Heng sighed, hiding his hickeys.

"To prove that you're my property~ You're cute when you scream my name~"

And you were banned from his room.

blade

He doesn't mind the hickeys being exposed since he doesn't care, but you do. You've been trying to get him to hide it, but…

"Why? Don't you want others to know that I belong to you?" Blade asked.

"Yes, I do, but not that way." You sweatdropped at your beloved boyfriend, trying to cover the hickeys that you left on him, but he uncovered it. "Dear aeons, if Kafka or Silver Wolf asks where you get it, don't put me involved."

"They know. You can't hide it from them."

"...What am I going to do with you…?"

[decolonize-the-left]

I love your blog and I respect you a lot so please if it possible i want to ask you something. No one seems to care much for the fate of the egyptian protesters who were imprisoned yesterday and many of them were elderly. Egyptians prisons are a living nightmare where even medicine is denied and they live in crowded cells infested with mosquitos. Please we need to do somethimg this is horrifying they may die from lack of medical care and torture when all they did was protest for aid to enter Gaza.

Hi!

I can't find a method of how to help or where to direct people to donate! I assume it's because it's written in another language? I can't even see the page for the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights.

That said, here are some articles I found regarding all this so I can at least help spread some awareness.

Activists shared videos of one of the protesters chanting against business tycoon and government ally Ibrahim al-Organi, whose companies have been charging Palestinians thousands of dollars to exit Gaza.

The government of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has been criticised for failing to challenge Israel's siege on Gaza during the current conflict, and for allowing state-linked companies to profit from the movement of people and aid via the Rafah crossing. The Rafah crossing in northeast Egypt is the only gateway for Gaza that is not directly controlled by Israel. But since 7 October it has opened only intermittently. Egypt blames Israel for the closure of the crossing, as Israel has imposed strict checks on all trucks entering Gaza via Rafah.

Following the protest, 10 activists were arrested at their homes and detained for 15 days on charges of spreading false information and joining a terrorist group, often a reference to the banned Muslim Brotherhood. Egypt declared the Brotherhood a terrorist organization in 2013, following the removal of President Mohammed Morsi from power. Since then, the government has cracked down on political dissent and banned protests, leading to the arrest of critics and activists who speak out against government policies.

During that trip, towards the prison near the Egyptian-Libyan border, detainees were scared and tired. Some of them had to urinate inside the car, using plastic bottles they had, after they were denied access to bathrooms.

He told MEMO: “One of us had diarrhoea and had to use the bathroom. We surrounded him with a curtain made up of our clothes so he wouldn’t get exposed. He had to defecate in the car, cleaned himself with some water he had and collected the faeces in a plastic bag. He was in so much pain: the pain in his stomach and the pain of injustice and oppression.”

About an hour after sunset, the deportation car arrived, carrying ten detainees of different ages. They took sips of water and ate some dates, before beginning a second journey into one of the country’s most infamous prisons. Officials in this prison, named Al-Manfa, or the exile, are known to “honour” new detainees by torturing, abusing, beating and insulting them upon their arrival. The prison has 216 cells and the abuse is often directed at opponents of Al-Sisi.

And of course, if anyone knows more direct ways of helping such as where to donate or about calls to action or solidarity requests being made by those in Egypt then I think anon and I would really appreciate it!!

Miscellaneous Tag Game (pt. ii)

Made by the lovely @onehelluvamarine and thank you for the tag @panzershrike-pretz <333

A band you don’t like that many others do:

BTS. Idk why but I'm just not the biggest fan of them

A childhood memory that you remember vividly:

When I was younger, my sisters and I would put aside time every night to play blind man's bluff with my dad in my parents' room. Every night, we would choose a different person to be the blind man, and the rest of us would have either 3, 5, or 10 lives (depends on how tired my dad was that day). It didn't matter what our mood was before, after we played blind man's bluff, we were all happy and giggling. I loved those moments and I still smile at the memories.

Least favorite animal and why:

Flies and mosquitoes. THEY'RE SO ANNOYING. THE WAY THEY BUZZ BESIDE YOUR EARS AND LAND ON YOUR FOOD AND BITE YOU. Ugh I hate them so much.

Hot fandom take:

I don't knowwwww

Do you wear any jewelry, if so, what’s your favorite piece:

I rarely ever wear jewellery except for a necklace my mum had made when I was a baby. It's in the shape of a heart and has my name engraved on it. My mum and my sisters all have one of their own.

Besides that, I used to have two pairs of clip on earrings that I absolutely adored. My grandpa banned my sisters and I from ever having piercings, but I've always wanted earrings, so my mum got me those clip on ones. Sadly, I lost both of them a few months ago.

A movie others liked but you didn’t:

I don't know, maybe the new animated Super Mario Brothers movie? I fell asleep half way through it. Though, that could probably be because I was just too tired.

Three things you love about yourself:

- my hair. It has a few different shades of brown with some copper and gold strands mixed in. I have my mum's genetics to thank for that

- my ability to memorise things (very handy in exams)

- my eyes

A place you hope to visit in the future and why:

Italy. It's always been on my bucket list to visit Italy. It just looks like such a beautiful country

An actor that gets on your nerves and why:

There isn't any, really. I don't know much about celebrities lives because I don't actually care, and I think they should have their own privacy.

Things you’re excited for in the nearby future?

Celebrating Chinese new year with my family!

Least favorite ship in a fandom you’re in:

Thor/Loki from the Marvel fandom. Like, come on, they're siblings. Adopted siblings, but still!

What’s the most toxic fandom you’ve been in?

All the fandoms I've been in haven't been very toxic. But then again, the HBOWar fandom is the only one I've really interacted much with.

List three things you find beautiful about life:

- being able to watch the sky. The clouds, the stars, the moon. They're all so nice to look at.

- spending time with the people I love. Whether it's my family or my friends, I appreciate all the little things we do together

- playing with my pet dogs. I love seeing them so happy and excited when I play fetch with them

Any dreams for the future?

I hope to one day become a sucessful veterinarian who ensures long happy lives of pets, with enough income to support my family.

How are you really feeling today?

Honestly, not too good. I was tired the whole day and I'm down with a cold. Oh well, at least tomorrow is a holiday for me so I can rest up.

Just for fun because False gods was in the lead, here os a snippet from the False Gods. Beatrix's introduction. I think I want to publish all four but let's just start with this.

Tw: alcoholism, drug use, violence, inappropriate joke made by a drunk and high person

Nikki & Louis and Stevie version

Beatrix Jones life from birth to high school

Aurora Four’s lead singer, also known as a codename “Roseblood,” was born Beatrix Rhiannon Jones on August 6th, 1998, to Micky and Clara Jones in Los Angeles. Micky and Clara are most known as the leading attorneys of many publicly famous trials like the assault of popstar Lily Marsh, arson case of indie singer Vince December and the domestic violence case of Kurt Duncan and Sally Fay. Micky Jones himself is the son of Freddie Jones, the drummer for the Hectics.

Beatrix’s childhood is calm and full of privilege. She went mostly to private schools in LA, bought by the immense success of the then newly established law firm. All the bliss of company's success was shadowed by Freddie Jones’s chaotic 2000s. As the Hectics were coming to an end, Freddie’s alcoholism and drug use was becoming a problem.

All of it cultivated in Beatrix’s 8th birthday party. Witnesses described the birthday as “peaceful, till the grandfather appeared.” Freddie Jones was described as fully intoxicated, and not able to stand still. He was loud and obnoxious, and clearly in need of help. Worst happened when Micky Jones was giving a speech for his then 8-year-old daughter, which was documented as a viral video.

The clip starts with Micky Jones talking in a calming tone. He is wearing a black suit with a red tie, which looks too formal for a kid’s birthday party if you didn’t know how much Jones’s net worth. There are no kids around him, and food looks almost fancy, which didn’t fit for a children’s party. “I can still remember when we brought Beatrix from the hospital. Clara was exhausted and I- “

In that moment Freddie rushed into the mic and grabbed the mic into his both hands. Even when he was still, he was still moving around, like he was dodging mosquitos. Everyone could hear his deep breathing while he dodged his son. “Hello everyone. There are so many good people in this children’s party. None of them are kids. I shouldn’t see this many people I have fucked in a children’s party. I should have been more supportive of my son so he would allow his daughter to have a normal party that isn’t meant to suck off his supposed clients.”

Freddie was punched in the face by his son after that. The camera cuts when everything becomes chaos. People that were attending the birthday have told after what happened after the camera cut. Freddie Jones tried to punch his son back but failed and fell to the ground. Group of men ran towards the drunk man to tackle him. Carla was crying. As for Beatrix, many people noted that they were weirded out by Beatrix’s behaviour. She was laughing uncontrollably looking at her grandfather.

After that day, Micky publicly denounced his father and filed for a restraining order for three years. Freddie himself went on to have two years of deep alcoholism and drug use, until he found his fifth wife Lola Sylvestre, and moved to France for three years.

When Beatrix was in elementary and middle school, she was described as a clam and cordial little girl that enjoyed playing the violin and the piano. Beatrix has herself described the years as the “years of suppression” where she was forced to play classical music because her father had banned any type of other music in Jones household. That music would be an inspiration to the sound of Aurora Four later, so in the end, it got its use.

When Beatrix Jones is fourteen, Freddie Jones tries to contact his son after years of no contact. That phone call is actually answered by Beatrix herself, which starts a secret contact between the two musicians of the Jones family. Even with Micky’s constant objections, Beatrix and Freddie have a tight bond that lasts till she is sixteen, after Freddie’s sudden passing. That, is us getting a head of ourselves though.

97. What is a trivial hill that you are willing to die on?

From this prompt

Laurence// Dying on a hill means the belief of a thing or things you wouldn’t budge on no matter what anyone says….

Laurence// Should I start listing??? There’s many than just one I have in mind…- So here we go!!!

———

{Warning// Extreme Laurence coming up with his trivial beliefs- read at your own risk/ih}

It’s NOT “I wrote a blog today.” I wrote a blog post. You have a blog. You publish posts. (‘-‘

Buying followers/likes for your Instagram account is cheating. Period. (o-o

One’s identity should never be in your significant other.

Your life is NOT over when you have children. You can still go for your dreams- Like,,, Look at Sastre rocking that!!! >:’)

Money and status/title doesn’t make you better than anyone else. Get over yourself. :)

Being a true style blogger isn’t easy. Aside from being a PR Manager, Editor, Creative Director, photographer and everything else under the sun, not everyone can make clothes from lower end stores look expensive. Heck, not everyone can put outfits together. Trust me on this…. Sastre and I relate this so much-

All mosquitoes should die terrible deaths. No hesitation. (And no, I’m not sexist. I cherish every human being and even many kinds of living beings- Just because the only mosquitoes that bite are female, you can’t argue with me that they’re a bunch of miniature menaces,,,,-)

Cutting off relationships with people just because they don’t agree with you on political topics is stupid… Yes, IT IS RIDICULOUS!!! >:’)

All water does NOT taste the same- A hydrologist at home proved that!!! Thank you, Clara,,,, you genius cookie. qwq

It’s wash, not warsh. 😔

Duck face/lips should be banned from all pictures in general… I’ll rather look at someone else’s natural lips all day- (‘-‘;

Transactional relationships are the worst kind of relationships…. A friend tried that and he ended up going through a losing path at the end-

Uggs and shorts should never go together…. If you disagree, I’ll meet you outside :)

Avocado is a fruit… If you say it’s a vegetable, I’ll make Rosie start telling you off like the strong voice woman she is- :)

First a dirty bomb, now virus carrying mosquitos and wild birds

New Post has been published on https://petnews2day.com/pet-news/bird-news/first-a-dirty-bomb-now-virus-carrying-mosquitos-and-wild-birds/

First a dirty bomb, now virus carrying mosquitos and wild birds

First a dirty bomb, now Russia is making even more outlandish claims that includes the spreading of infectious viruses using mosquitoes and wild birds.

Russia backed up the claims made last month by Vasily Nebenzya, the Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, on Tuesday, November 8 saying that had evidence to support their claim.

Throughout the war Russia has spread propaganda in an effort to either justify its own tactics or to try and sway world opinion. The first of these claims came as early as March with a Russian diplomat claiming that soldiers in Kherson Oblast discovered “three drones equipped with 30-litre containers that can be used to spray biologically active substances.”

But the claims have become ever more outlandish with the latest claim aimed at both Ukraine and the United States, who they say have drones capable of spreading infected mosquitoes.

Nebenzya said: “According to the description, such a drone transports a container with a large number of mosquitoes, the carriers of infections, to a targeted area and releases them.”

He added: “Such an infection among enemy servicemen would have a significant military effect” asserting that the disease could stop a soldier from performing the tasks assigned to them.

Nebenzya inferred that the mosquito could be a more valuable military tool than the most modern weapons and military equipment.

But he was not finished there, Nebenzya claims that Russia had received documents claiming “the spread of dangerous infections by migratory birds, in particular highly pathogenic influenza and Newcastle disease, and by bats, which are capable of infecting humans with the causative agents of plague, leptospirosis, brucellosis, as well as coronaviruses and filoviruses.”

As always the claims have been met with ridicule by Ukraine with Andrii Yermak, the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, saying: “Combat mosquitoes, dirty bombs…

It is already too late to treat patients there. They should be placed in and isolated in the chamber called Russia.”

The claims of a dirty bomb and now mosquitoes have been dismissed by the west with chemical warfare and attacks on the general public banned under the Geneva convention.

They are always there.”ĭespite the concerns, Winnipeggers have flooded exterminators with requests to spray residential trees. In addition, said LaBella, “there are always risks when you use chemicals: ill effects on animals, people’s health and water contamination. By using chemical sprays the city reduces the worms’ natural predators, such as the fiery searcher beetle, and creates what Winnipeg ecologist Vere Scott calls a “pesticide treadmill.” He, for one, suggests that instead of spraying the city should diversify its tree population. If his critics have better ideas, he says, he would be happy to hear about them. Ellis contends that the city has a mandate to protect its elm trees in the safest and most economical way possible. But LaBella pointed out that a 1974 study by Manitoba’s Clean Environment Commission found that spraying caterpillars did not help tree growth in the long run. Shade tree and one of the insect’s favorite food sources-particularly need to be sprayed because repeated defoliation weakens the trees and makes them more susceptible to Dutch elm disease. Ellis claims that the city’s elms-Winnipeg’s dominant

In the middle of an infestation citizens can even hear the worms’ pepper-sized droppings fall from the trees like a spring rain.īut experts are divided on how to deal with the problem. Not only do the worms get tangled in people’s hair, but they also on one occasion forced a family to abandon its home because they completely overran it. Winnipeggers intensely dislike cankerworms, a species that intermittently appears in great numbers four or five years in a row. Until the federal government outlawed DDT in 1969 because of its toxicity, the city used the chemical exclusively for pest control. Ellis added that the infestation might be associated with the banning of DDT. He speculates that a mild winter and lush tree growth may make this year’s infestation particularly severe. Once billions of cankerworms hatch in mid-May, his crews will go to work spraying tree-lined boulevards with the pesticide methoxychlor, a relative of DDT, and major public parks and golf courses with a bacterial agent. As the only fulltime entomologist employed by a major Canadian city, Ellis heads a permanent staff of 14 and a seasonal army of 35 to 50 workers. According to Ellis, Winnipeg has always had “an abundance of insects.” Located on the edge of the Prairies and the forests of the Canadian Shield, crisscrossed by three rivers, the city offers insects a wide variety of trees and shrubs for feeding and breeding. Roy Ellis, head of the Insect Control Branch, insists that the spraying is neither excessive nor arbitrary. I do not know of any other city with such a consistent approach to using chemicals.” Charged Frank LaBella, a University of Manitoba pharmacologist and a vocal critic of insect control programs: “Whatever the infestation, the first reaction is to spray the hell out of it. Only heralds the beginning of the city’s annual $1.1-million war against an array of bugs ranging from mosquitoes to elm bark beetles, and the attendant controversy on the efficacy and safety of chemical spraying. To prepare for the assault the city has increased its worm-killing budget to $142,000 from $72,000, and it has advised Winnipeggers to use chemical sprays to do their own worm killing. The city’s Insect Control Branch is expecting the worst infestation in the city’s history. They denude most of the city’s deciduous trees, stain cars with their excrement and leave behind ghostly webs that hang from bare branches like tattered sails. For the past three years inch-long caterpillars called cankerworms have invaded Winnipeg in the spring and fall.
