Chapter 12 - "Hope In Hell"
Yep, posted chapter 12 for "Hope In Hell', a Adam, hazbin hotel, redemption story :D
Let me know what ya peeps think of it : )
Summary -
Adam awakens as a fallen angel, a sinner in hell, cast away by the angels who had once claimed to ‘treasure’ him. Thinking there is no way back to heaven, he just wants to drown in resentment and spiral toward self-destruction.
Of course, there is no way Charlie is going to let that happen, even when a powerful enemy is ready to strike soon.
And maybe, just maybe, Hell isn’t such a bummer of a place as he initially thought.

what are your thoughts on the police files that just got leaked from xinjiang reeducation camps?
The ones from a supposed 'anonymous hacker' who's veracity was verified by... the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation and Adrian Zenz, the ones who published them? What's that - we investigated if we were lying, and found ourselves to not be?
The same Adrian Zenz who says he's 'led by god' on a mission against China, whose prior research has already been torn to bits - his figure of a million supposed detainees coming from oral interviews with only eight people; his numbers showing an apparent alarming amount of IUD operations being a result of him literally just adding extra zeroes to a number 'accidentally' and implying, if given a second of thought, that every single woman in Xinjiang got a dozen IUD operations - this Adrian Zenz:
Adrian Zenz, who works for the surely-unbiased Victims Of Communism memorial foundation (which published this supposed 'leak'), an arm of the far-right Heritage Foundation.
All of which just-so-happens to come out as a UN delegation arrives in Xinjiang, surely ready to overshadow the reality that they, like every prior human rights delegation to the region, will not find a shred of evidence of what would be an incredibly gigantic, undeniable operation.
If such a terrible thing were really happening (without any apparent motive on the part of the Chinese government beyond Being Evil), wouldn't there be more clear evidence than blurry satellite pictures of schools and farms misidentified as concentration camps, random pictures of unrelated prisoners, and even Taiwanese BDSM footage rebranded to 'footage of torture in Xinjiang'?
Wouldn't someone, anyone with a shred more credibility than Adrian Zenz and the Victims Of Communism foundation be the original, primary source for any of the supposed leaks or studies that every article on Xinjiang traces back to?
We're already seeing the west in the midst of a propaganda war, where experts have said, openly, that the truth doesn't matter as much as making sure that what you're saying hurts The Enemy and helps The Good Guys - that misinformation can be a positive force, as long as you aim it at your enemy and believe it wholeheartedly - are we expected to just take them on good faith?
Most of the world isn't. The parts that are are the same ones in every map like this - the ones that don't recognise Palestine, the ones that oppose UN resolutions against glorifying neo-nazism, the ones that have 14% of the world's population but 73% of its wealth.
It's easy to say, thirty years later, that of course Iraqi soldiers weren't taking babies out of incubators, that of course they didn't have WMDs - but in the moment, in the churn, when you're caught up in the swell and you lose your bearings, it's a lot harder. If you notice you're on the side of the ones braying for war, and that they'll lie to get it, maybe that's a sign to rethink.
I understand why you'd believe it. If there's the slightest chance that this were really happening, I'd want to be one of the people who stood up. I wouldn't want to be someone who, in the pages of history, sat there, happily following the status quo as it committed terrible atrocities. The people in charge also understand, and they know that it's a powerful response. Atrocity propaganda is nothing new.
If you really care about standing on the right side of history, about actually opposing crimes against humanity while the world around you stands silent - then siding with the United States, the genocidal settler colony, the invader, the torturer, the armorer of apartheid, the boot on the neck of progress everywhere in the world; it's not the way to go.

So I got a Star Wars OC Bingo card to play with. First one I decided to do was the Deamon AU, (Golden Compass) but with in universe animals rather than our animals. So have Jayk and Voc with their Howler Deamons Brick and Haa’it. There was the instinctual moment of “how many of them with the same deamon is too much?” And stuck with no more than two or three repeats. Maybe one day I’ll draw everyone else with theirs.

A minha mãe tem o cabelo
escuro e liso,
um nariz curto
e as unhas sempre feitas
até mesmo no inverno.
Meu pai tem o cabelo
cor grisalho, os olhos
cor de chocolate
e como ele mesmo diz
seu hobbie é Jesus.
Minha mãe ama filmes de
terror, música estilo antiga,
torta de bacalhau, gatos com
cores torcidas, chicletes de menta,
e trabalhar pra sustentar a mim e
minha irmã.
meu pai ama filmes de
velozes furiosos ou ação,
músicas de antiguidade,
cantar, torcer pelo Sport Recife,
e usar aquele sapatinho de
velho dele.
E você?
Quem você é?
O que você ama?
Quem você ama?
