I'm having a moment so I need to get it out here before I get on with my day.
I co-own a house with my ex, he was incredibly mentally abusive and I'm fairly sure he's a narcissist and a year ago, despite half owning our house, I packed up my stuff and left. I got legal advice and got counselling, he moved on within about 3 months (we were engaged and had been together 5 years) to a co-worker (a subordinate no less).
I got tons of abusive messages from him playing with my head after I left. I tried to explain my side then soon realised that it was pointless, it had never worked and never would because it was all games. The straw that broke the camels back was when he found out I'd gone to the police about his behaviour after he followed me relentlessly around our house and refused to let me sleep.
So we're in the middle of a legal problem with our house which prevents us from selling, and I am SICK TO DEATH of his attitude, overly formal/nice but with this weird tinge of arrogance and hatred, a bit like dog whistling if you know what I mean. He just puts on this super sweet act as though he is the nicest person in the world, but it has this air of "i'm above it all" about it.
This morning he's emailed me about a payment I've refused to make to him until I get receipt of the goods, and he's all "well i'll accept your conditions if there's a witness" and I've just said I don't give a flying eff if you accept my conditions or not, it's happening. He's all "I just want to make this amicable so I don't have to deal with your irrational behaviour" and I just want to punch him straight in the face.
Has anyone else had this and how to you handle it? The only thing I'm grateful for is that i don't have to coparent with this POS.

Hii long rant ahead I have this neighbor that would rev their motorbikes and car everytime I open my tv,wash the dishes or when I do laundry and also when I am taking a bath. At first I thought it's just a coincidence so I tried to avoid watching tv early in the morning and taking a bath at different times but still everyday without fail they would rev their motorbikes,laugh and even whistle everytime I open my tv and while I am taking a bath this would happen every morning even as late as 2am this makes me uncomfortable.This has been happening since I was a highschool student and even until now that I am in college they do this without fail.They also painted their house the same way we did after we moved in which is weird but we just ignored it.
I have also notice that everytime me and my family would open our lights in our frontyard to sit and chill their children in their mid to late 20's won't stop on shouting while revving their motorbikes.Me and my family also caught them in our cctv camera letting their dogs deficate wherever they want and won't even clean it up after leaving a nasty smell the whole day also leaving their trash in our frontyard and glass shards on the road,they would even park their car and trucks in front blocking our pathway,and even caught them climbing in our frontyard and picking the fruits that we planted without permission isn't this basically trespassing?They act as if they own the my frontyard which is annoying.
I already tried talking to them they just flip me off. They don't seem to know public decency and don't know how to mind their own business.Like get a job and stop being a crazy freak.All this years me and my family just kept to ourselves and ignored this old couple spreading rumours/gissip about my family but recently its just to much should I do the same an eye for an eye?Wwyd in this situation?

1. If someone disagrees with you or you don’t like what they say, accuse them of being right wing (which is a leftist dog whistle). Or accuse them of “acting in bad faith” (No one knows what that means, but it sounds really bad. It feels like gaslighting to me.)
   
2. Cite their post history as evidence of their character defects.
   
3. When they defend themselves, attack them for defending themselves (they must be guilty/Kafkatrapping)
   
4. When they criticize you, attack them for criticizing you (projection)
   
5. Whatever you do, keep up the personal attacks. Keep the emotions running high to elicit sympathy for your side.
   
6. Don’t engage them in a reasoned debate about the validity of their claims. You’ll lose your enraptured audience by boring them to death. It’s all about the sensationalism.
   
7. No matter what empirical data they present to support their argument, ridicule it.
   
8. When all else fails, hide behind the “centrist” label. Just cancel anyone who disagrees with you. Bury the evidence.

Hello, I live near the intersection of Morgan and Driggs about half a block down from the BQE, and my wife and I constantly hear a very high pitched whistle sound (almost as high as a dog whistle), short in length, and very consistently throughout the day. It happens most days. It’s almost not noticeable, until you notice it, and then it’s impossible to ignore. It lasts a second or two and dips note-wise ever so slightly. Intervals seem random. Can’t place it at all. Is anyone else hearing this sound or can shed some light? We’ve been hearing it for the past 2x months and it has become more frequent. It is very irritating and almost sounds mechanical / not on purpose but…really have no clue. Like a silent alarm that isn’t quite silent!

Hi everyone! I've done it. I've gone NC with my NMom around Xmas. Well, it was NC by default -- I gave her the option to go see a therapist together that I would pay for and arrange, or else no longer communicate. She chose "no longer communicate". Fine. Done. That checks her off my list and I'm happy to have set that boundary.
But I do have my brother. My brother is 7 years older and is (you guessed it) the golden child. My NMom would constantly love to retell the stories where my brother was the kind, gentle-hearted one and I was the evil, cold-hearted one to anyone that would listen.
I of course knew my brother to be my tormentor and not at all "the good one." He would regularly push me down stairs and terrorize me. I did the same but keep in mind he's seven years older... it always felt like I did it to get his attention and I always ended up way more hurt than he ever was. I don't remember this, but he dislocated my shoulder when I was a kid. He would regularly try to drown me, punch me in the stomach, throw me down to the ground, etc. Kid stuff, but we grew out of it and consequently grew apart. He went off to college and I was stuck with these cold and distant Nparents.
I've come around to the thinking we suffered the same manipulation, only he benefited from being the GOOD one and therefore the beneficiary of all the positive attention. When our father died, (we were at his bedside, my Nmom, bro and myself) we cried together and I was there to comfort him. He fucking cried on MY shoulder. I stroked his head. I told him I would be there for him. My NMom acted like a zombie and didn't hug or touch him or me. She just stared straight ahead, and didn't even say a word or shed a tear.
Later at home, she leashed out at me saying "You were such a disappointment". The crying brother immediately jumped to her side and started chiming in with the same vitriol. Yet when we are alone without her around, he complains to me that she is crazy and manipulative and cannot be trusted. It's like a dog whistle to him every time. In private, "Yes, there's something wrong with her." And then he immediately ditches me for her side.
My question is -- do any of you have a relationship with the "flying monkeys" or do you stay away? I feel like there is some hope there whenever he confides in me that he doesn't trust her, but I fear her manipulation over him is too strong to be trusted and I will be betrayed every time...
I already feel the "You're in danger girl" coming but lay it on me.

Fortune opened the door to “Nezumi’s Spirits”, it was just past dawn, and they wanted to go watch the Junior’s competition before they got into the Arena. She was surprised to see quite a few extra people in the shop. Tambori and Faedrin were heating up Tambori’s tea, Irezumi was working out. Fortune was surprised to see a small, beautiful but pale woman sitting behind Echo, working with an ink covered needle and scribing in a tattoo. She didn’t have too long to watch uncomfortably as a very large man with a mask on was suddenly directly infront of her.
“Dad! It’s ok, that’s Fortune and Chance. They are expected.” The large man took his mask off, and wore a dumb smile on his face. He bowed to Fortune, his clouded eyes not seeming to see her, though it was obvious that he knew exactly where she was.
“Oh, so YOU’RE Fortune and Chance.” The man said, “It is good to meet you. I am Hibiki Nezumi.” He pointed to the small pale woman. “That is my wife, Lenore. Echo and Irezumi’s mother.”
Lenore stopped, took a moment to clean her tools, and stood, wiping off her hands. She gave a bow to Fortune and Chance. “It is good to meet you.” She said. She opened her mouth to say more, but Hibiki moved very suddenly. Fortune blinked and saw two young men hanging from either of Hibiki’s hands. Lenore laughed a moment and continued. “ This is Obake, and Rei. They are a few of the siblings that have come to watch Echo, Irezumi and Sakusei.” She put her finger in her mouth and whistled. From the back room came a parade of children. First, two girls, obviously twins as they were Identical, even down to the way they walked. They were holding two babies. “This is Kuro and Shiro. They are holding the newest of the their siblings, Sora and Riku.” Following them, were two more children, about 5 years old. “This is Neko and Karasu.” Next a young girl with a very serious face, she dressed oddly, compared to the rest. While they seemed to wear clothes of whites, blacks and browns.. This girl was dressed in pinks and greens. She gave a small curtsy as she was introduced. But no smile appeared on her face. “This is Sakusei’s sister, Sugure.” Finally, one more girl, about 16 years old, who looked like an identical clone of her mother. “And this is Majo.”
Fortune and Chance bowed deeply. “It is nice to meet you all.” Fortune said, she looked back at Echo, who was still seated on a stool at the end of the counter. “You really think getting a tattoo before the games today is a good idea?”
Echo shrugged, and patted the back of his shoulder with a Saki soaked cloth, then sprinkled some salt over it. “Mom’s been working on this piece for a long time. So, we take the opportunity when we can.” He said.
“That reminds me.” Lenore remembered. She went behind the counter and got a small scrap of paper, and drew a complex Character on it. She handed the paper to Fortune. “This is how you write ‘Echo’. Be careful, this little line is very important.” she pointed out the small line.
“Mom.. Geez..” Echo complained, the other kids and Irezumi laughed openly.
“What?” Lenore said. “It’s important for her to know. If she doesn’t put that line in, then it’s Hibiki.. and I don’t want her to make that mistake.”
“I’m sorry.” Fortune interrupted. “What? That little line is the difference between ‘Echo’ and ‘Hibiki’?”
“At home, in our language,” Lenore explained. “the word ‘Hibiki’ means ‘Echo’ in your language. I guess you could say, that Echo’s real name is ‘Hibiki Nezumi jr.’ but we found that confusing, so we call him Echo.”
“Oh, so, does ‘Irezumi’ mean ‘Lenore’?” Fortune asked.
“No.” Irezumi said simply, between pull ups.
“Oh…” Fortune said, after waiting for an explanation that didn’t seem to be coming. “So.. Why are you giving this to me?” She asked Lenore.
“For when the time is right.” She said, and patted Fortune’s hand. “Now, you all get moving. I don’t want you to miss out on the matches.”
“Majo, are you sure you don’t want to come? I can ask someone to watch the store, or we can just close down for the day.” Echo asked his sister
“Are you going to lose today?” Majo asked.
“Of course not.” Echo replied.
“Then I will get to see the next one, and Obake and Rei can watch the store then.” Majo said.
“Pfft.. Fat Chance.” One of the boys, still hanging from their father’s hands said.
Echo rolled his eyes at his brothers. “We will close the store until Sakusei’s match is over, and then I’ll open back up for the intermission. I would like you to be there.”
Majo smiled at her brother. “Thank you.” She said simply, and picked up a light cloak from a peg on the wall.
“Now.. We just have to wait for our Vanguard replacements to come… THEN we can leave.” Echo said.
**************************************************************************
Sakusei sent a series of clicks and whistles to Scraps.
“I have some food.” Scraps said, digging an old wedge of cheese out of his bag and brushing the worst of the mold off. He offered it to Sakusei.
Sakusei clicked again.
“Oh, yeah, I mean, if you want to try them, I guess.” Scraps said. “This way.”
Scraps led the young boy out of the contestants area, and out of the arena. They stopped in front of a street cart where a man was frying noodles.
“Two please! Extra onions and sprouts!” Scraps ordered. The man just nodded and started adding things into his wok.
“You think we’ll be able to catch up?” Scraps asked Sakusei. “I mean, in the points.. I guess we should have made a mistake.. Is that weird? I mean, to make a mistake on purpose, just for points?”
“You should ask your mom that.” A deep laugh came from behind the pair, along with the insult. “She would know about making mistakes.”
Scraps and Sakusei turned around to find a large Goliath boy, from one of the other teams laughing at them.
“How stupid do you have to be? Didn’t your coach tell you that you get points for fighting monsters? Besides, they were just goblins.” The boy ribbed. “I mean.. you didn’t even try.. Pretty sure you two should go tell your team to quit now. You should have been out earlier. Doubt you’re gonna catch up now.”
Sakusei gently pushed Scraps behind him, and growled threateningly at the Goliath boy, his eyes glued to the mask that the boy wore on the side of his head.
The boy and his friends roared with laughter, as Sakusei reached for his sword. “Go ahead, stupid. Bare steel and stab me in the street. It will disqualify you from the games. Do it.. then you can go home and cry to your mommy.”
Sakusei let his hand drop from his sword, but his glare, and growl remained.
“Sakusei! Scraps!” The Voice of Mr. Threadspinner called. They turned as he rushed up. He paid the noodle man a few coins, and handed Scraps and Sakusei their noodles. “Come on.. The Games are about to start!” He ushered them away, and back to their seats.
*******************************************************************************
“Welcome back to the Main Event!” The announcer’s voice echoed over the crowd. “For the First task in the Qadar Games. Our teams will have to secure a treasure!” a large cloud of mist suddenly filled the interiour of the Arena. After a moment or two, a gust of wind blew the mist away, revealing a rocky crag. Coiled around a the top of the Crag, the sibiliant form of a Basilisk curled around a golden egg. At the bottom of the rock, a large group of gnolls yipped and howled. “It seems this tribe of Gnolls has located a powerful Basilisk to worship as their tribes deity. It’s up to our adventurers to capture the egg before it can hatch and fullfill a dark prophecy!”
Tambori was simply a wreck. “A Basilisk? Who do they think we are? This is FAR too dangerous for a game.”
Irezumi and Echo glanced at each other. “It looks like a big snake.” Irezumi said.
“It IS a big snake.” Faedrin said.
Fortune sighed. “It’s a big snake that will turn you to stone if you look it in the eye. It’s very good at getting you to do it.”
Echo just nodded and began loosening up his shoulders.
Irezumi eyed the rock and the Gnolls. “If you can get me there, muscles here and I can get the egg back.” Irezumi pointed at Fortune with her thumb.
Echo turned around to face his team. “What do you all think?”
Faedrin thought for a moment. “Did you guys watch the juniors this morning?” she asked and they all nodded. “So.. Like, Sakusei’s team finished first.. but they didn’t get the most points.. I’m thinking this is similar. I’m betting we get additional points for every different ‘task’ we do. Like, I’m guessing that we’ll have to take the egg and place it in some sort of ‘safe zone’. That’s our timer. We get minimum points for simply completing the task. But, should we defeat the Basilisk and/or the Gnolls.. I’m guessing there are bonus points.”
Echo nodded in agreement. “I’m thinking the same thing.” He looked over at Tambori. “How long do you think you could hold off the Gnolls?”
************************************************************************
“You’re sure about this?” Fortune asked, holding Echo’s mask as he tied a blindfold on. “You’re going to take on a Basilisk, blindfolded and alone.”
“Blindfolded? Yes.” Echo said, making the last knot in his blindfold. “ Alone? Not exactly.”
“You get us up there, we’ll get the egg back here.” Irezumi said, pouring a bowl of sake, and placing it in the dirt, about ten feet from the “return zone” for the egg. “We’ll hold the Gnolls till you’re done, or they are.” She looked up to a cloudless sky. “I wish it were raining.” she said.
“You WANT rain?” Tambori asked, a bit wild around the eyes.
“Yeah…” Irezumi said with a slight thoughtful frown. “You ok, Tambori?”
“This is just.. Alot..” Tambori said, shaking from the nerves. “There are so many people.. and this is such an important thing..”
“Hey!” Irezumi shouted suddenly, taking Tambori by the shoulders. “We don’t have room for fear, here. If you drop your mind into a lake of ‘what ifs’ and ‘maybe I should haves’ you’re going to lose it. It doesn’t matter if we have to fight a Basilisk, or Gnolls. Or if it’s a Hundred of each. The reality is, That’s what we have to do. So, it’s time to go to work.”
Tambori calmed herself. “You’re right.. No fear… No fear..” She took a deep breath, and gave a little smile. “You said, you wanted rain? I’ll bring you rain.”
“That’s what I like to hear.” Irezumi said, slapping her hard on the shoulder.
“How much time do you need?” Echo asked Tambori.
“I’ll need a minute to lay out the field. After that, it’s game on.” Tambori said.
“Faedrin, Chance…” Echo addressed the other two. “You guys able to defend Tambori for a while until Fortune and Irezumi get back?”
Chance just nodded. Faedrin glanced around to get her bearings. “I’m betting those Gnolls will wait until we try and take the egg. But even if they don’t, yes.”
“Is she really going to make it rain?” Irezumi leaned over and asked Fortune.
“She’s a Windsong.” Fortune said as if that explained everything. Irezumi simply gave her a flat stare. “So, most of the Vanguard follows Jax, the traveler. However, thats not a requirement to join the guild. Tambori is from a family that follows more than one power. The windsongs follow the Path, and The Storm. If she says she’s bringing rain. Get ready for it.”
Irezumi nodded, and Echo put his mask on over his blindfold. “We ready?” he asked
The others voiced their agreement.
Echo raised a hand toward the Judges, signalling that they were ready for their turn. A crisp clear bell sounded, signalling them to start.
Echo sprinted forward, drawing his sword. His free hand making motions as he ran, and he was suddenly flanked by four other beings, seemingly made of dark ink.
Fortune tensed to follow after him, but Irezumi reached out and put her hand on Fortune’s shoulder. “Bring the rain, Tambori.. You’re up.”
Tambori nodded and began her somatic movements. She added her mana to her movements, and clouds began to circle overhead. After a few seconds drops of rain began to fall.
“He’s reached the Gnolls.” Faedrin said, keeping her eyes on Echo. He parried a few strikes, but simply ran through them, and began bounding up the rock, dodging strikes from the basilisk.
“Get ready, muscles.” Irezumi said. “I hope you don’t get motion sickness. This is gonna be weird.”
Echo made it to the top of the rock, and leapt on the creature’s head. He stomped on it, and the Basilisk reared up, throwing him high into the air. Echo grabbed a bottle from his hip, and when he was over the egg, he threw the bottle. It broke right next to the egg.
“Alright, we’re on.” Irezumi said, her hand slid down Fortune’s arm and grasped her wrist. “Try not to puke.” She stepped into the bowl of Sake at her feet, and pulled Fortune with her.
Fortune felt like she was picked up, rolled into a ball, and thrown across a room. The spinning stopped and she realized her feet were on stone, and she was directly infront of the egg. “Pick it up!” Irezumi shouted, as she dodged a swipe from the Basilisk’s tail.
Fortune caught sight of Echo, he and his ink clones were harrasing the head of the giant snake. Slashing and stabbing, keeping it’s attention on him. “How does he…” She started to ask..
“It’s the sound.. He has really good ears!” Irezumi interrupted. “Now, stop oggling my brother and pick that damn egg up so we can get out of here!”
Fortune shook herself from her wonderment, and picked upt the large golden egg. It was extreemly heavy. “Got it.” She said, gritting her teeth.
“Good.” Irezumi said, returning to her side. “Hang on.” She took her arm again and stepped into a puddle of Sake and rainwater.
Fortune found herself back with the others. She went to set the egg down. “Watch it!” Irezumi said, and changed her angle a little bit so she would set the egg outside of the Safe zone. “Don’t want to end the fun just yet.”
“Here they come!” Faedrin said. Fortune looked up, to see all of the Gnolls charging their way. She could see Echo and his clones still fighting the Giant Basilisk.
“Looks like they made a poor choice.” Tambori said, as she finished her movements.. “Now this is MY show.” She said. Planting a foot down hard. She pulled her cloak off, and tightened a strap around her thigh. Fortune saw small nails on the inside of the strap bite into her skin. A loud crash of lightning came and struck her outstretched hand. Her mana rolled out of her as she started singing.

Venriath looked with interest at the games going on down below. He sat with Alonzo and Jynx, with both of them stealing his popcorn.
“Is that guy putting on a blindfold?” Jynx asked.
“Yup.. you know.. so he can’t see it’s eyes.” Alonzo said, stuffing more popcorn in his face.
“I get that.” Jynx said, “but, how is he going to get to the beast?”
“I dunno…” Alonzo said. “I guess that’s his problem.”
Jynx rolled her eyes.
“I’m more interested in what she’s doing.” Venriath said. “She’s prepping a transmutation field, but it’s huge. I can’t imagine what she’s going to be transmuting.”
“Herself.” Laurana said, as she sat down next to Alonzo, she handed Venriath some nachos.
“I doubt that highly.” Venriath said. “That’s extrodinarily dangerous. Like, remember when Noxian used to do that? I thought my heart would stop every time.”
Laurana laughed. “Why don’t you take a good look at her.”
Venriath did so, in truth, she looked a lot like a very tan Laurana. “I mean, she’s a Windsong.. I just assumed that you know. You and Alonzo…”
“Oh yes..” Laurana said. “When he sacrificed himself, he did, indeed leave me expecting. Which, we still have to talk about.” She said with a warning tone. “However.. That was hundreds of Generations ago. It just so happens, that Noxian’s blood also follows the Windsong name.”
Venriath paled a bit. “So, she can channel her power like Noxian.”
Laurana smiled and nodded.. “And she has my voice.”
Venriath paled a bit more. “So.. She can adjust her transformations with Spellsong? Wouldn’t that run the risk of a feedback loop?”
Laurana laughed. “Yup.. It’s pretty.. Dramatic.” She said and pointed.
Tambori began to sing, Her form elongated and her joints distorted. Electric arcs leapt from her body to the nearest Gnolls. On of her fist enlarged, and became like a shiney metal, that immediately heated up. She swung her huge fist, impacting several of the charging dogs. Her other hand raised and a huge fireball detonated in the main host of enemies.
The others closed ranks around the egg and began to hold off the few Gnolls that got past Tambori. Chance and Fortune ranged a bit, preferring to meet their challengers aggressively. The Two Aristi’s proving to be just as deadly as their name suggests. Faedrin stood guard with Irezumi at the Egg, only occaisionally having to use her shield to block an arrow, or make a few cuts against the lucky gnoll that managed to avoid the others.
It took only a few moments, before the Gnolls were gone, and shortly after, Echo drove his sword through the Basilisks skull, and rode the body down as it collapsed. He removed his blindfold as he returned to his party. He nodded to Fortune and Chance, and the twins picked up the egg, and placed it in the Safe zone, ending the task.

I'm currently trying to find the shortened, 10 second version of the following 20 second TV advert for Virgin Cola Mini-V that aired in the UK from June to October 2000.
Virgin Cola Mini-V, Handful -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m3lgieXMpk
From memory the advert was almost identical to the first ten seconds of the full version above with the 'dog walker' sight gag, but it then immediately transitioned into the same ending as the full version, with the rollrskating character standing next to the billboard, and I think there were also a few small differences in the animation. I seem to remember that the rollerskater character whistled to the dogs before throwing the bottle and that the transition at the end had her skating on screen from the side rather than jumping over the billboard.
I've done an edit of the original advert to illustrate broadly how the shortened version went -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgyVnRJcZdw
It was aired, mainly during children's programmes, on ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Cartoon Network, Fox Kids and Nickelodeon from June 2000 until September 30th 2000.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

With all the Leaper activity outside there was nothing else to do but sit and think. So Rene did just that. But the more he thought, the worse things seemed to get.
The Fleet had no idea what they were walking into. There were entire nations of these humanoid monsters out here, and all of them made the Amits look like cuddly pets in comparison. He had to warn them. No one else could. His entire platoon and all of Mound 13’s scientists were gone. He alone could forestall disaster and avert the coming slaughter.
If only he could make the long trek home. But that would mean days if not weeks of moving through enemy-infested territory. Untold thousands of Leapers stood between him and the edge of the world as the Fleet understood it.
Even if he did warn the Fleet in time, there was no guarantee that they could withstand the world-altering forces he had encountered out here. If the Vitalus was a real being, a demon from the ancient world, then there was one thing which could rival its power.
The Divine Engine.
But that old heap was now rusting under the suns all the way back at Mound Euler. Besides, something inside it had given out, a malfunction maybe. Rene wasn’t a qualified Antiquarian, so he couldn’t even begin to guess how to get the thing working again.
If I’d had an ounce of sense in me back then, I would’ve walked that hulk back to the Fleet where brighter minds than mind could get more use out of it, Rene thought bitterly. He had thrown away the most significant scientific and historical find in living history on a pointless gesture of vengeance. Granted, he’d wiped out an entire omega-class mound singlehandedly, but if the eggheads back home had been able to piece the damned thing together…
Anyway, it was no use crying over spilt jelly now. His mind switched to his more immediate problems. He had less than three days before he ran out of fungicidal doses. His wounds were shallow but numerous. Once they became infested with parasitic molds, inflammation and fever would soon follow, ending with the condition they called the ‘baker’s shakes’, a rapid deterioration of motor functions in the afflicted areas.
Despair and his wavering sense of duty roiled within him. Any one of the aforementioned factors would have made his mission untenable. Put them all together like this, and it all seemed nigh impossible.
But the biggest problem of them all was squatting a few inches away from Rene, her yellowish eyes shining in the gloom.
You’ve done all that you can for her, above and beyond what is required of an officer of the Fleet, Rene told himself. Enemy combatants—human combatants—are supposed to be afforded the same level of care that a soldier could expect for himself. The issue was that he could barely fend for himself out here, much less babysit a prisoner who would like nothing better than to stick him when his back was turned.
She was a liability that he couldn’t afford. He would be doing himself and the Fleet a favor by ridding himself of that liability. Zildiz noticed him looking at her and thrust out her chin impudently. Rene felt a flash of irritation, his mind seizing on it like a drowning man clutching at anything to stay afloat.
The irritation grew into a bright, senseless rage. All at once he became convinced that she was the cause and culprit of all his suffering. Without her slowing him down at every turn, he would at least stand a chance of at making it back home, though with the onset of infections the trip would certainly cost him his life.
You first, Rene thought, eying Zildiz hatefully. He clenched his fists, fingernails digging white furrows into his palms. Zildiz shifted in her seat, the change in her body language slight but unmistakable. With a pang of guilt Rene realized that she knew exactly what he was thinking.
You’ve already killed once in the name of the greater good, Rene thought, and Lethway died for nothing that day. Can you honestly bear to make that choice again?
Rene cleared his throat and began noisily sorting through his gear, turning out the contents of his survival kit and cataloguing them again.
Zildiz did not relax in the slightest, watching closely as he took out the artefacts which he hadn’t been able to identify and examining them one by one.
He first looked over the obsidian slate. Rene turned it over in his hands and felt the smooth surface, pressing it firmly with his knuckles and rapping it. He found two curious holes in its side and stuck his pinky finger in them, felt cold nubs of metal inside. Nothing happened, so he put the slate down and started fiddling with the bowl that had a dirty great spike sticking out the center of it. He extended the tripod at its base and set it up, then waiting.
Again, nothing happened. Rene began to feel like seven kinds of idiot until he discovered a pair of rubbery cords dangling form the base of the tripod. They had three metal prongs sticking out of their ends. In a flash of inspiration Rene recalled the strange holes he had found in the slate. Carefully he fitted the pronged cords into the openings. There was a smooth click as the prongs found purchase and locked in, the cords matching the holes perfectly in diameter and shape. Rene stood back and looked on with bated breath, sure that he had just made a discovery of historic proportions.
Even Zildiz started taking an interest in his doings. After a moment, she said:
“You have no idea what these tools are for, do you?”
“Don’t be absurd,” Rene said haughtily, “This process just takes a while. You have to find the right harmonies,” he added in his most mysterious tone.
“Right harmonies for what, exactly?” she asked next, sounding skeptical.
At a loss for words, Rene folded his arms and grumpily retreated to his corner of the lair. But as he withdrew, Rene quite unintentionally allowed a beam of soft light from his spyhole to enter the darkened space, whereupon it happened to shine on the obsidian slate he’d laid on the floor. Suddenly the spiked bowl began to rotate on its tripod, compelled by some unseen force.
“For that!” Rene said happily. For once Zildiz had no biting remarks to add. They watched the bowl spin on its axis until Rene got bored and tried another experiment. He covered the spyhole with the palm of his hand. The rotations of the bowl immediately slowed and came to a stop. Rene then removed his hand, and after a moment it started to spin again. In addition, an inscription winked into existence on the upper left corner of the slate. Rene leaned in and read the following:
“EXOCOM network unavailable. Please try again later.”
Rene rubbed his chin and pondered the incomprehensible message. What on earth was a network? It sounded like some kind of fishing implement.
Zildiz on the other hand said nothing, but noted the clueless look on her captor’s face. She understood the message all too well. The tool was trying to contact someone or something out there. Like her, the device was was having problems raising a signal on the relevant frequencies. She reached for her magnetosynaptic organ and searched through her audible spectrum, going over it with a fine-toothed comb until she found the source of the only radio activity she could sense: the spinning bowl itself. She listened in and realized that it was transmitting a repeating message in some garbled parscode so dense with information she didn’t dare begin unravelling it.
She did, however, commit its frequency to her memory. It would come in handy if ever the Vitalus wished to track down the intended recipients of the message.
Meanwhile, Rene had thought of a new experiment. He picked up the hollow sphere and saw to his delight that it also had the same pair of holes at its bottom, identical to the ones on the spinning bowl. He transferred the cords and connected the slate to the sphere.
The device took a long time in responding, but Rene’s earlier success was fresh on his mind and he would not be discouraged. He even scraped away the sides of the spyhole until it was wide enough to put his arm through.
“More light means more power,” he hypothesized aloud. He also had another theory about the shapes of the artefacts themselves. A sphere, a bowl and a rectangle, all of them perfect geometric shapes. Coincidence? He thought not! There was a secret harmony of mathematics woven into all this sorcery, he could just feel it.
Rene’s faith was rewarded a few minutes later when the sphere started showing rings of soft blue fluorescence. But his amazement reached orgasmic proportions when the sphere sprouted a set of spiky legs and began to roll itself around the floor of the burrow, still attached to the slate.
“Initiating vitals scan. Please remain still,” it warbled in a young boy’s voice. Zildiz backed away from it as far as she could manage in the tight confines, treating it as if it were a poisonous viper. The blue circles began to emit strobing flashes of light that dazzled Rene’s eyes. It was rather like those chemical picture boxes where you had to sit stone-still for hours before the image could develop properly.
“Scan complete. Hullo there!” the sphere happily giggled, “How can I help?”
“Oh, wise spirit of the sphere,” Rene solemnly intoned, still intending to impress Zildiz with superiority of the Fleet’s ways, “Hear our prayers.”
“Aw, shucks,” said the sphere. It spoke with a whimsical twang that was like no accent Rene had ever heard, “You charmer, you! You can just call me E.X.A.R., since we’re friends. Or just plain Ex if you’re into that whole brevity thing.”
“Exar?” Rene repeated.
“Sure! Stands for Extravehicular Advisory Robot. My sole purpose is to keep you happy and healthy. Give us the sitrep, chief.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“The lowdown, tailo. The long and the short of it.”
Rene looked to Zildiz for help but saw that she was too busy pressing herself against the sides of the burro and squirming like mad. It was the first time he’d ever seen her show fear, and he didn’t know what to make of it.
“Well see, your crash suit indicates that you’ve suffered some minor lacerations and contusions. Nothing major—though your brain wave patterns suggest that you ain’t been getting much sleep. Everything alright?”
“Erm. To be perfectly honest with you, Mr. Exar, no. Everything is not alright.”
The sphere uttered a sympathetic whistle and went the color of cream pastel.
“I’m so sorry to hear that. What seems to be the problem?”
Zildiz moaned:
“It is a simulacrum! A silicate soul of the Betrayers!”
“Tranquilo, mes amigos,” Exar urged, “Let’s simmer down a spell and figure this out.”
He rolled about to face her and once more emitted the flashing pulses, Zildiz covering her face with her hands and letting out a frightened shriek.
“Okeydokey,” Exar said briskly, “We need to get this lady over to a trauma center pronto. And I mean ASAP! We’re gonna need to fly her to a team of specialists who can surgically remove that parasite that’s latched onto her.”
“You know someone who can do that?” Rene said in disbelief.
“Of course! Exodus Industries has hardened bases all over this solar system, fully equipped and staffed. We’ll have your lady friend up and running in no time.”
“And you can take us to one of those bases?”
“You kidding? We’ll be cruising first class in an interplanetary shuttle in two shakes of a dog’s whiskers! Heck, I’m already hailing our ride.”
Rene hopes flared into life. The gods were real, in a moment the spirit of the sphere would summon them forth!

“And you only thought to mention that now!” Rene screamed at her.
“Not my fault you’re as deaf as a dingbat,” she smarmily replied.
“Oh, shit on it!” he swore.
Rene laced up his boots in a fury of motion, balling up his tattered socks and shoving them in his pockets. Snatching up his sheathed sword and the survival kit, he kicked dirt over the remains of the fire and started to run back into the jungle. Then he did a double take and turned back to Zildiz who was still bound to the sapling, clearly torn between his sense of duty and the urge to save his own skin. His captive on her part was behaving as if she hadn’t a care in the world.
“Have you finally reached the inevitable conclusion of your thought processes?” she yawned.
“What?”
It was Zildiz’s turn to roll her eyes at him.
“I’ll help you along this once, since we haven’t the time to wait on your mental faculties. There’s only one way you’re making it out of this alive. Untie me.”
“Like blazes I will. You’ll gut me soon as you got the chance.”
“I know a place where we can hide. I camouflaged it myself. We won’t be able to escape leapers in the brush, not in the daytime, and not with eyes like theirs. My lair is the only option. If you cut me loose, I can get us there with minutes to spare. If not, you can always try outrunning them.”
Rene fumed. She had deliberately concealed this information to give him no time to think things through. By rights, as her captor, he was under no obligation to ensure her continued survival.
But she was also unerringly correct in her assessment of the situation. Rene advanced on her with an ugly snarl, drawing his sword. Zildiz calmly stared him down, ‘cool as some cucumbers’, as Lethway would have put it.
The drums were getting louder by the moment. He cut her free and Zildiz turned her back to him, presenting her bound wrists and looking at him expectantly over her shoulder.
“Absolutely not. Your arms stay tied. Chop-chop!” he said, shooing her onwards, “Lead the way.”
“I can’t run like this. Either remove the silk completely or we’re not getting anywhere.”
“You ever heard of a little thing called compromise?” Rene’s temper was so frayed at this point that his voice came out in a high squeak, “Alright! Fine! But your wings stay clipped.”
“They don’t work anyway.”
“Not taking that chance. Your blades. Pop em out.”
“Why?”
Rene vented a cry of hysterical frustration and activated the sword, holding it in both hands as if he meant to lop off her head.
“Pop em out right now, or by jimbo I’m taking em off at the elbow!”
Zildiz reluctantly complied, her serrated swords sliding out of their housings. General truce or not, she knew that the Leapers would take any chance to murder a Gallivant if they thought they thought could do it unobserved. Especially once they discovered what she had done to Kryptus and his pack. She had to get moving, even if it meant debasing herself this way.
But she immediately regretted her choice when Rene promptly snipped her swords off at the roots.
“What have you done!” Zildiz screamed as her weapons clattered to the ground. She whirled on him in outrage and Rene took a hasty step back, hefting his sword warningly.
“Don’t be overdramatic,” Rene said, scooping up the blades and chucking them into the survival kit for future use, “I’ve only disarmed you. You’ll get them back later, if you behave.”
He cut the bindings of her arms and gave her a shove.
“What are you waiting for? Ice Cream Day? Beat your feet!” he ordered.
The pair set off with Zildiz stumbling ahead, Rene dogging her heels. Ahead of them he could hear what sounded like a mutter of a rolling avalanche, the thumping growing ever more distinct as the hordes of unseen savages neared their position. Each staccato drumbeat was answered by another that varied in rhythm and pitch.
Rene was reminded of the whistles, bugles, bagpipes and drummer-boys which helped commanders give signals to line infantry regiments amid to roar of battle. If the Leaper tribes were holding a long-distance conversation, then he dearly hoped that he and Zildiz were not topic of their discussion.
Zildiz hissed in pain when she slipped and jammed her foot into a crack between the stones. Rene placed his hands on her waist to help heave her out, but she twisted out of his grip and growled at him. They eyed each other warily until her good sense won out and she allowed him to help by gouging out the rocks and digging out her ankle. They ran on, Zildiz moving with a noticeable limp that was slowing them both down. She was clearly struggling to support the added weight of her useless exomorph.
“Are we close?” he demanded of her. Zildiz was all but running on all fours, hellbent on reaching shelter as the sinister percussions rebounded through the fog, multiplying the effect so that it seemed the whole jungle was alive with them.
She’s just too slow! Rene realized. So he did the only thing he could think of and seized the woman from behind. Zildiz kicked and screeched a little, but soon lost the energy to do even that as he bundled her up in a fireman’s carry and hurried on. Stars above, she was heavy! Thankfully they were mostly moving downhill, which spared him a lot of effort.
“Just point the way. I’ll get us there,” he panted. There was no time to argue. He barreled into the heart of the fog and felt smooth pebbles clattering under his boots and heard the trickle of nearby rapids. They were back on the river’s edge, he realized.
Zildiz guided his steps until they reached a tall outcropping of red and white granite. It was topped by a pile of flotsam that’d been deposited by some past flooding. Or so it seemed.
“Here,” said the Gallivant as they climbed to its summit. She pulled aside the pile of detritus and revealed a spacious burrow cunningly disguised and cozily constructed. Rene hopped down after Zildiz and she closed the hatch of dead vegetation over them, plunging the pit into a sudden gloom. When Rene’s eyes finally adjusted, he gave a grunt of recognition. Lining the sides of the burrow was the big tent cloth that had slowed the seedpod’s plummeting descent.
“Where’d you get this?” he asked Zildiz, poking at it.
“From the same current that washed me up on the shore,” she said, “Now shut your breathing hole. The hairs on their bodies are like ears. They can sense the tiniest vibrations…”
Rene tore open a rent in the tent material and scrabbled at the stones until he had a spyhole that was just large enough for him to squint out into the smoggy murk. The avalanche of motion was upon them now, so close it made the sluggish river quiver like a spoonful of bone marrow.
As if emerging straight from the bowels of the netherworld there came rushing out of the fog a horde of ravening beasts. On countless pads and claws and hooves they skittered, hopped, crawled or bounded across the torrid current.
Rene saw herds of reptilian frillheads, the bone spurs on the herbivores’ backs rattling like sabers as they made the crossing, closely pursued by packs of buzzing daggergnats that sank their lance-like proboscises into their flanks, cruelly goading them on. Flightless chiroptadons beat on their hairless chests and swung along on the knuckles of their vestigial wing arms. Ten-meter tall ultrapods crashed through the brush and flattened whole trees with their hammerhead antlers. Swarms of rodents, timid fawnmice, flocks of birds, squealing quickpigs, rolling pollies and a host of new species he’d never even dreamed of fled before the larger animals.
Guiding the stampede northward were bands of Leapers. Most soared above the ethereal mists on airfoils of thin-sown silk streaming behind the. Others strung out ziplines between the trees and slid down them with the claws on their feet. The largest Leapers had bright colorations on their underbellies and the sides of their humps, orange and green spots upon which they had painted garish tribal signs. Rene saw swirling suns and grinning devils, or eyes pierced through with barbs and weeping tears of blood. Adolescents and children rode in pouches on the backs of their elders, beating the drums they had woven tight across their knees.
Rene curled himself into a ball and tried his hardest not to exist. For what seemed an eternity the dread host bellowed and crashed around their hiding place, until at last the drums slowly receded in the distance.
“How many?” Zildiz prodded him.
“Too many,” Rene whispered, “Armies of them, all moving with one purpose.”
“It has summoned the kindreds to the Dawning Chambers,” Zildiz told him. The Gallivant knelt at the bottom of the pit and scraped out a hole in the gravel which quickly filled with water, “The god has been roused to anger, and the world shall quake at its passing. It will come for your people, and when It is done, it shall be as though they never were at all. Not even the mute stones shall bear witness to their memory. For nothing will remain of them but dust and bones. Dust and bones.”
Having said her bit, Zildiz bent down and lapped up the water with her tongue.

I don't know, script seems bit odd if you don't know what happens later and rhythm of the story seems all over the place for me. I'm not a native in English either so some of the sentences seem clunky and unnatural. And some other bs. Please tell me what should I improve on and if there is something you like about this. This is my first time trying to write something so please be nice and awful to me. I'll post the rest soon...
If you want to see some of the characters they're at my ig: jasukaj5

While hiking my dog found two fawns in the woods, near the road. He started barking until we got there and saw fawns. One of them was dead and covered with lots of flies and the other one was alive but had flies on its skin too. They look like they're abandoned to me, but I'm not sure (it's first time for us to see these animals). Also we've been more than hour there and there wasn't sign of deer anywhere close. Also when we started to whistle and call our dog, the fawn started making sounds (crying or whatever it's called). Should I call the animal rescue?

Spent like 2 hours huffing hopium-laden tinfoil on this. First couple sets of memes are just recounting the story of Jimmy from DFVs perspective.
Enjoy the foil. Gonna be a busy couple of weeks brother.
First set: ET is DFV leaving for the green planet. But he can't leave us behind so he comes back later. The rest is him lamenting having to leave, and people wanting him to come back, etc. And the talking, big big trouble if he talks POST SENATE ENQUIRY.
Second set: the Signs are the corruption. The two talking the wall Street criminals. Probably Citadel and some banks or some such, possibly relates to credit Suisse after Archegos imploded. Seeing the alien in the video is remnants of Overstock corruption, probably. The alien on the roof is our Big Brains spotting the crime happening here and now, back in 2021.
All the stuff about hanging with DFV is talking about us going to the green planet with him. If we hodl we can go too, but can we? Are we ever gonna survive? We have to be a bit crazy to pull this off.
Part 3. Goosebumps is RC showing up, bear beware, because RC is a fucking beast and you're gonna shit your naked shorts. The Kansas City shuffle and such is in relation to the interim between Jan21 and the Senate Enquiry. Probably the February $40 fuckery and March megadrop. Shawshank is DFV escaping the Senate Enquiry without prison time, but to do so he had to disappear without a trace for a while.
The Alice in Wonderland and Matrix stuff isn't us. That's DFV. That's him learning the markets corruption. That's DFV learning about DRS.
The Truman show and the bits just before are in relation to the amount of pressure they tried to apply to DFV in that time. To make him shut up, to disappear. "We can't kill him live on air", like a Boeing whistle-blower. And the crowd cheering for DFV in the bar and the bath, etc, that's us.
Part 4. SHUT UP BITCH. Yeah these are 100% meant to be played backwards. George was desperate to use the insult and couldn't, as opposed to regretting he used it if these were meant to be played forwards.
DFV talking about how we were supposed to be looking at his Twitter and using that instead of UU-SB/reddit, which was/is controlled. We're the freaks Timmy's talking about with his trumpet. The freaks who'll go through with it, because DFV can't do it alone.
Where have you been? Waiting. For this. This is all part of "the plan". He's been waiting for NOW to return. OR he's referring to us figuring out to DRS, catching him and his hints on twitter. Depends on how the later video connect up to this bit.
Final yolo update, becoming a little bit of a celebrity. People talking about him constantly, etc etc. And then RC appearing, and he loves him. RC taking over, as Thor, and then the dick memes. Chefs kiss.
Part 5: the aftermath of DFVs deep fucking in value town. People harassing him, hounding him, intimidation and coercion. All the Wall Street standards. By day he's Keith. By night he's DFV (moon night). Keith is very vulnerable, but DFV is legendary and unstoppable. Chapelle is Keith getting sick and tired of people's shit, and letting Kitty keep it real for him.
This all seems to be leading up to a big fucking game cock options exercise, at this point imo.
The scene with the upside down GME Logo, is Keith accepting that he has to come back, saying goodbye to his family and such, and going back to being DFV. Becoming degenerate again. Even if it sends him to prison, he has to be moon knight again. (That's why the Braveheart clip).
Part 6...
DFV is Chigurr. The Hedge funds begged him to stay away. Answer the phone, hedgie. It's Marge. NOTE: HEDGIE DIED BEFORE HE COULD ANSWER THE MARGIN CALL.
Dunno what the next movies called. But he's the villain, the slasher, coming to kill bears. Mention of a second, shitty fake squeeze. The requel. Probably in reference to this past week hitting $80. Shitty. Nothingburger. A real squeeze is far more brutal. Then the staying with is friend. DFV, staying with us. He's not going anywhere this time. :)
The batman meme, is him saying they're scared, and every time the price drops to ~$10, hes going to load up on shares/options. Our dark avenger will be stepping on their nuts with his whale money.
The paperwork loophole isn't us. It's the shorts. They found a loophole this past week, as usual. As stupid as the shorts seem, THEYRE VERY GOOD AT PAPERWORK. LOOPHOLES.
School spirit. The regards dancing aren't us. It's the shorts. All working in unison, together, to survive. The bear doing flips at the end and shouting YEAH! Is them. Surviving one more day. Every day, they're dancing and choreographing the whole scene to survive.
The plan, Just Up. The fighting criminals. "I need your help". DFV saying he can't do it alone. We have to regard with him. We regard with him, he is Achilles, or perhaps RC is... anyways, his Pikey reaction is him saying he's back. The AJR is effectively saying were ready to carry out the plan... "Just Up".
No infighting. "Busy couple of weeks brother." Tells us we're just getting started. Pirates meme, DFV coming back with memes. Agent K pushing the little red button is whatever the catalyst is. Tell him I'm coming, (heheh), and we're going with him, and then we ride at dawn.
Ride. At. Fucking. DAWN BITCHES!
Part 7: Shorts in a mexican standoff, Thor, God of Thunder, blows them all up before they ever get a chance to be the first to close. The image around Thor is a diamond. Diamond hands. We blow up the shorts by being Diamond hands.
"You think you're the only hero in the world?" Aka, you're not alone. There's A LOT of people and organisations actively working against the shorts with us. They're just in secret because if they get caught, Shorts will assassinate them. The music overlay is from the ending of "The Shield" TV show. We are their shield. Retail, individual investors the world over, give the good guys a platform to fight back against the corruption. And we're all running together now.
When I say run, run. Next meme, listen baby, RUN FAST FOR YOUR MOTHER. We're already running. "The dog days are over, can you hear the horses, cause here they come". Leads back to "you tell em I'm coming! And I'm bring hell with me!"
The drift. An off ramp. Then drive. We've taken a detour. And while we're here, prepare for battle, one day you'll understand. And then we pick up DFV, if the money's right ;) or perhaps it's sone other rich bastards, like John Cena?
Very next meme, green men in a world of red. GME eating the stock market. "On my challenge" "you move when I move". When GME moves, the market goes red. It's got nothing to do with DFV. That's all Jimmy baby.
The Overture. The opening to a performance. Ready Player One. We gotta go back, from 80, to 20, to go forwards. This was the Overture. This week gonna be busy brother.
GoT. The dragon, sleeping, wakes. China is a sleeping dragon. Either China crashing, Or ICAHN. Icahn closing, or Icahn going long. Or possibly copying Icahn and creating a holding company out of GME, to be revealed at earnings.
"You're still here? It's over!" The media FUD campaign after we squeeze to 1-10k and drop a bunch. "Were done when i say were done". Yeah nah, not stopping at 10k. Moon time.
Kitty awakes... to start the memes.
Not sure if DFV is saying he's Thanos, or if RC is Thanos. Either way, they've had enough of waiting. And there has most assuredly been some communication between the two.
Gonna be a busy couple of weeks brother.

my god i am sick and TIRED of these neighbors, for context they’re the same neighbors who tore down our fence that divided our properties without permission two years ago and came onto our property to cut down trees because “they were ugly”(yes police was involved)they moved in during 2020 from another state and they were nice at first but once they realized they couldn’t just get their way with us with “get a new fence that one is old and ugly” “cut those trees in your yard they’re super dry and ugly” etc. that’s when they began to harass us and even tried to get our neighbors to go against us which didn’t work, we’ve lived here for 15 years and we’ve always got along with our neighbors so that didn’t go well for them.
they constantly harass my dogs and have tried to harm them multiple times, have made HUNDREDS of complaints against us, whether it’s waste complaints, noise complaints, they’ve accused us of everything in the book but of course we’ve never been fined or it’s never gone to court because they never have proof of what they accuse us of. they’re all just warning letters we get from the city or animal control saying “we got a complaint from this neighbor about this” we constantly get them in the mail or animal control showing up at our doorstep it’s just ANNOYING.
we’ve had animal control come over multiple times and they’ve seen everything is fine, no proof of what they’re accusing us of so they leave, we have already told them those specific neighbors are constantly harassing us and my dogs with false complaints so they said they would keep that in mind and i think they stopped taking them seriously for a couple of months but they started AGAIN last week.
they’ve tried poisoning my dogs, they constantly throw stuff at them through the makeshift fence they made, they wet them and constantly stand near them when they’re outside to antagonize them. they literally stand near them on their side of the property and whistle at them and laugh and throw rocks and spray water at them and obviously my dogs bark at them. i’m just so TIRED of them. i don’t know what to do anymore, there have been police reports made against them for harassing us constantly with false reports, harming my dogs, stealing from us, but they never stop. it’s like they do it purposefully to annoy us and i’ll admit it, it really is fucking annoying.
i wonder if getting a restraining order against them would make them leave us alone lol
edit: we definitely will be taking this to court eventually but we have a lot going on lately with me being pregnant, we have been gathering a lot of evidence against them including videos and pictures and we do have a camera in our backyard so that at least has made them tone it down a bit than before. i just really wanted to vent about it because i'm just sick and tired of them.
