Making the kind of merch I couldn't even dream about making/having because I wasn't at that level of Arting yet and I also didn't know shit about fuck when it came to fan merch existing. Also I was a mostly broke college kid back then with a lot less power and confidence. Might've taken over a decade to get to this point, but better late than never!

Thinking of offering this sticker/acrylic charm design as a limited thing but I guess we'll see what happens once i finish hammering out the final Dinluke sticker design, getting my final test prints/charms in, and setting up shop for pre-orders. I'm terribly slow but at least something is happening.... right?

#shirozora draws #shirozora's pop-up shop #tron #rinzler #tron legacy #it's DST and it sure doesn't feel like 2AM #but hey at least I'm down to one more dinluke sticker design #previous post proposed 3 mroe stickers but i gotta draw the line somewhere #and it's gonna be a Clan Of Three sticker if my brain will fucking cooperate for once

hagoromo is hilarious; he looked at both his sons and was like "yeah, yeah I'll give my youngest the entire political power so he can do as he pleases, while I hereby grant my eldest this rock".

#hagoromo #hagoromo otsutsuki #indra otsutsuki #ashura otsutsuki #what did he think would happen? #I saw my youngest thrive with cooperation and treating others as equals so now I'll give the youngest the entire power #the eldest one will sure follow the youngest as his “colaborator” #but the youngest will have the power #what do you mean that's hypocritical? #nono #clan uchiha #pro uchiha #uchiha clan #madara uchiha #sasuke uchiha #hashirama senju #naruto uzumaki

So there’s this thing in VtM…

When one vampire feeds from another kindred, it may happen that they drink too deep - and for vampires, blood is everything; it’s the essence of life, and it carries that bit of Self that (in humans) might be called a soul

And when you drain another dry… when you devour and destroy another person so thoroughly… it stains you. You’ve committed what many see as the ultimate sin — the most complete kind of cannibalism. Dark veins grow within your aura, and those with the skill to see such things will Know Your Crimes.

Given time, these marks will fade.

…provided you don’t do it again.

MEANWHILE

I never meant for any of this to happen but my baby bat Hatfield is out here making choices pls send help

#just me rambling #ttrpg stuff #my art #hi Hatfield #while Yes. Hatfield DID diablerize their sire as part of their backstory #I never meant for it to be a Thing That Kept Happening #but multiple times now I’ve rolled messy at the wrong(right?) moment #and the ST was like ‘YO HATFIELD ITS SNACKTIME’ #I have more dots spread between ventrue & malkavian clan disciplines than I have in my own clan powers #just because I keep ACCIDENTALLY EATING PEOPLE and the exp from that has to go SOMEWHERE #this most recent one especially… #I didn’t MEAN to eat the Ventrue Clan Primogen/Mithrean cult leader #I just wanted to. y’know. take him down a peg so he’d be a bit more cooperative #BUT THEN #but then… #he tried calling my bluff #and I rolled a messy crit #and ANYWAY Hatfield has been recognized as the cult leader/avatar of divinity now? #h e l p #I’m just a nobody Brujah who doesn’t know when to quit and SOMEDAY that won’t be enough anymore

thinking about how Cresselia and Darkrai are associated with the full moon and the new moon respectively so they just automatically take over the shared body on those days. Rei comes to greet Akari for a morning of Survey Corps work but she has a glowing hagoromo and she’s kind of... floating? She is Cresselia and she will be happy to help him with his work though! Let us go, small human child!

And then on the day of the new moon, Melli coming by Ingo’s campsite to bother him about something, but his coat has turned into a wispy version of itself and his sclera are pitch black and Melli does the smart thing and just fucking books it. nope. not dealing with whatever that is. Darkrai just huffs and says something about humans to Lady Sneasler, who just nods along. They are having a nice time hanging out together.

#ofc this means that Cresselia has to be the one to do the Clefairy sidequest lmao #and evolve Teddiursa into Ursaluna #thankfully she is very cooperative! #some hapless pearl clan member thinking of calling on warden ingo during the new moon #and irida just takes them by the shoulder and says 'no' #ingo #pla akari #lunar duo au

“It seems you don't recognize the significance of this.” Narsus looks amused, a curious glint in his eyes.

Areyan feels queasy about it.

“The significance of what? The whole prince thing?”

“Yes and no,” Narsus says. “You refuse to be prince, which is fine, but that still does not diminish your value.”

What value? Areyan wants to ask— whatever Narsus meant, Areyan is certain those words weren't as encouragement one would give a downtrodden fellow.

No, these mean something else. Something larger. Something that he's unable to see.

Narsus chuckles, deriving some kind of enjoyment from his confusion. “What you did in Ecbatana, my dear.”

“I'm assuming you're not speaking of my magic.”

“That's correct. It's also included, somewhat, but it's not the main point.”

“Then what is?” He narrows his eyes.

“You were a thorn in Lusitania's side for a considerable stretch of time,” he says as he paces. He brushes his fingers on one of the potted plants— the ones Areyan's in charge of in the apothecary. Medicinal herbs. He's looking at it with fondness, almost. “You gave them much trouble, and many still talk of it.”

“I did what anyone else would've done.”

“You spearheaded an organized resistance,” he says, “In such short notice. You did not hold any high office or commanding position, just a boy, a ward of a marzban who showed no sign of following in his father's steps. You were no heir, either.”

“People would've banded together nonetheless.” Wouldn't they? There were men more experienced than he, actual soldiers who could've organized the entire thing in his stead. “I just happened to be there.”

Things would have turned out that way even without him.

“No, little bird.” He turns to face Areyan again. “They wouldn't have.”

“What do you mean? The people of Ecbatana would've wanted to survive, surely, and to oust the Lusitanians from their city.”

“Maybe it could've, but what matters right here and now is that it was you who led the resistance, little bird, and no other,” he says. “Why would they follow a boy who holds no rank, if not for the fact that he is a leader of high caliber?”

Areyan controls himself from scowling. “Are you trying to make me take that position again, Sir Narsus?”

At that, he laughs. “No, no. I am not.” He steps forward, towards Areyan. “I'm trying to make you see.”

“What is it that I am not seeing, Sir Narsus?”

“Someone of that caliber... would make a valuable retainer, would he not? Even if you refuse to take the mantle of Crown Prince, the fact that you are valuable does not change. In fact, you might be one of the most valuable pieces on the board at present.”

“What?” Is it so special, what he did? People band together to complete tasks all the time, that's what community is. Surely it is not so novel a concept? “I'm not some hero or master strategist, you know. Why would I be particularly valued against more competent fellows? More experienced?”

“Mayhaps not, you certainly lack experience, but that's not the point. It's what you represent, above all else.” He points his finger at him. “You have to realize, little bird, that you are held in high regard by the people whether you like it or not. Having such a person in one's service would be a boon to their image, a legitimization of sorts. Pars is without a true leader at present, and whoever obtains you is going to gain a headstart none of their competitors will have.

“Besides which, you are the key to the north— the key to your father's support for their cause. They must obtain you and make you kneel, if they hope to win Gorgan's strength. You must realize this, little one. For all that you are capable you remain stubbornly blind to this! You must consider carefully who you reach your hand out to, for the future may hinge on it.”

The ONLY reason that Cillian Murphy won is because of his mob connections, the McGuinness name, and the fact that his BOYFRIEND took the lead, in directing him. At least Bradley Cooper had the balls to stand on his own. Meantime, Hollywood is increasingly catering to the type of men who frequent World Economic Forum events. Five out of the six actors, nominated last night were Homosexual. Hollywood always had plenty but at least it wasn't as bad as Broadway. I hate being lied to and I hate hypocrites. I hope none of these men plan on playing romantic leads against women, any time soon. I will not stand for it, after they all decided to make rules about Gay Face.

Writing Update–Double Feature Day!

Heyyyyyy

Look I know I promised a publishing schedule and, well, that's gone down the drain because my health has been the absolute shits. I also know that I owe you guys some content, especially after how Very Bad this season of The Mandalorian is.

So. How's about a double feature today? We'll start with a God of War Ragnarok short (because honestly it's already finished and I wanna share it), then–finally– the next installment of The Next Year.

Cool? Cool.

EDIT:...... as I mentioned before, my body sucks. Chronic pain is kind of the enemy of writing, so. How about we reconvene tomorrow?

#the mandalorian #mandomera #clan djarin series #din djarin #omera #star wars #clan djarin #god of war ragnarok #thor god of war #sif god of war #thor x sif #now that my body is cooperating i'm on a *roll* #homework? what homework?

Why does it take hours to write the appeal? What's in the appeal? What's the "asylum agency", are they lawyers as well?

The "asylum agency" are the Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge (BAMF for short), it's the German Federal department for (among other things) vetting asylum claims. There are a lot of lawyers (as in, Juristen = people with a law degree) working there, but it's a normal administration job.

Basically in the German asylum system you first fill out an "Asylantrag" (asylum claim). In this you say where you come from and why you think you should be entitled to protection in Germany (both actual asylum - which refers to people who are personally persecuted - as well as subsidiary protection, which applies to people fleeing from general humanitarian disasters such as war).

Then the BAMF checks your asylum claim. Here is a very good English-language longform article by the Atlantic detailing how the BAMF works and what methods they use. Then they make a decision (Bescheid), which either accepts or rejects the claim (appealing it means you refuse to accept their ruling and try to overturn it).

There's TONS of problems with this. Even legitimate refugees often don't tell the truth or do so in a way that is contradictory bc we're talking about usually super traumatized ppl getting like half an hour to tell the absolute worst and often most intimate parts of their lives to a total stranger and THEN these total strangers judge whether they believe that or not.

And they can be super and I mean SUPER unfair about this. For example for the guy whose appeal I wrote today (let's call him F.), he was asked to describe his situation and he said he knew three other gay guys in his city, that they were the only people who knew about his sexuality and that they all were still closeted and still in Iraq. He gives detailed descriptions their meet-ups, their conversations, generally how they lived (it's literally all in the hearing transcript). The interviewer asked for their names. F. said their first names. The interviewer asked for their full names. F. said he doesn't know them.

In the Bescheid, it says among other things "F. was unable to give details including basic information such as names about the people who supposedly were members of the social group of people who shared his oppression. True accounts of persecution are often characterised by the fact that they are very detailed. His claim is therefore not substantiated."

We're talking about an 18-year old gay kid who just fled a country where he legitimately feared for his life because of his sexuality and who basically had to keep this part of himself secret his whole life, in a conversation with a complete stranger in a position of authority. Of course the fact that he didn't give the full names of his closest friends who still lived in that country in that situation must mean he's lying.

It also says it's contradictory and therefore unbelievable that the father would inform another family member about his son's sexuality because the fact that this would bring dishonor to the family means the father would have kept it a secret. (The "conversation" was the father convincing other male family members to join in and kill him - something which happens regularly in the country if you read up on literally any source dealing with LGBT Iraqis - often even clerics get involved to issue fatwas against them).

All in all, even if he was gay, he should have considered living anonymously in a different part of Iraq rather than come to Germany.

And what takes hours is to dig up reputable and up-to-date sources detailing the status of gay men in Iraq (Here is a heartbreaking report by Human Rights Watch btw), especially concerning the different regions of Iraq (Iraqi Kurdistan for example is considered more liberal when it comes to religion, so religious minorities from Iraq just get told to move to Iraqi Kurdistan instead. However, this does NOT apply to sexuality).

Then you try to pad that with other German court decisions abt gay men in Iraq (unfortunately it's mostly lower administrative court decisions, which don't hold much weight - but the VAST majority of them accept gay men from Iraq as legitimate refugees. There's also an ECJ ruling that says gay refugees can not be expected to hide their sexuality in their country of origin, as that would not be expected of straight refugees either and therefore would be discrimination, that's why his chances are quite good bc the Bescheid literally expected that of him) The LSVD has a REALLY great compilation for all sort of different countries of origin.

And then you have to take apart the whole bullshit Bescheid, point out the logical flaws, add other stuff the refugee told you and try to come with proofs for that etc.

It takes A LOT of work.

#also you cant believe what kind of total bullshit sometimes gets written just to keep people out #the absolutely dumbest thing i ever saw was not asylum but spousal-visa related #it was abt ppl from a west african nation who got married in that nation #only to realise fun fact germany automatically assumes all documents from developing countries to be fake #even and especially if its official documents #so it didnt recognize the marriage certificate #and instead started ~verification proceedings via the embassy #(who im pretty sure has no other job except to try and keep ppl out) #they hired a lawyer to ~interview family members - he showed up unannounced at their house at 10 am on a workday #and when the neighbor informed him that the family members were at work and where they worked #he went back home and wrote that family members were not available for interview #so then the embassy wrote they believed its a fake marriage possibly between family members #who seemed to be in on not cooperating in the investigation #(the SECRET investigation which consisted of showing up announced at their house ONCE during work hours) #and that they assume the people were not spouses at all #rather family members #what compelling piece of evidence did they base this completely fucking bogus claim on? #the spouses had the same last name! #EXCEPT THE VAST MAJORITY OF MARRIAGES IN THAT COUNTRY INCLUDING THIS ONE #WAS INTRA-CLAN MARRIAGE #SURNAMES WERE INTRODUCED BY THE COLONISING POWER AND GUESS WHAT THEY JUST BASED THEM ON #if you guessed clan affiliation congratulations #you understand why the vast majority of marriages take place between ppl who had the same surname even before marriage #something which you could find out literally with one google search #or one conversation with anyone from that country #this still took like 2.5 YEARS to resolve
